Why do afflictions befall a righteous man? Why good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people? These are the questions, the answering of which is made the theme of Job’s trial. In Job’s trial lies the important truth, that there is a suffering of the righteous which is not wrath, nor is it the love of God or a dispensation of that love itself, as some theologians teach that there are sufferings which are the result of God’s love. This is...

The official doctrine of the Church is that Paul claimed to the tithes of the churches, saying, “You shall not muzzle an ox while threshing”, and that in Chapter 9 of his first letter to the Corinthians he strongly asserts his rights. But he refuses to avail himself of his right, that he might influence a wider circle of men. For their sakes, he thus voluntarily surrendered his undoubted rights of the tithes. This is what the Christian theologians teach. Can we...

The question “Which is the Most Important Book in the Bible?” seems to be an easy one to answer. Many believers from the Christian world would say that Revelation is the most important book in the Bible, and they would not be far away from the truth since this it summarizes all prophecy in one thus making it the most prophetic book.

What does the Creator of the universe do every day? This is a thought we often overlook as we get involved in studying and seeking the deeper meaning of the Scripture. But such a simple question as to what the Most High does every day seems to have slipped our minds. So, what does Elohim do every day? We may safely say that He runs the vast universe and takes care of the heavenly business as the Scripture clearly points to a heavenly council which we find in verses like...

What does the Torah say about the so-called professional priesthood and tithes? Is the professional priesthood entitled to receive the tithes; are there any justifications for that in the Torah? The common misconception today is that the Levites had no means of living except the tithe they received for their service in the Temple. Hence, those who call themselves “the new Levites” (priests, pastors, reverends, Messianic rabbis), i.e., the new “professional...

Christmas is considered one of the holiest if not the holiest day in the Christian calendar of the western Church. Many Christians around the world celebrated the birth of Christ on Christmas Day, the 25 of December. While Christmas is believed to be the day of the birth of Christ, there are strong arguments in the Scripture that this is not the case. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many nations that is celebrated religiously by many Christians and culturally by many...

When reading Isaiah 56:3-7, the reader is left with the impression that the righteous gentiles who keep the Sabbath of YHVH, would have doubts that the Lord would accept them. This article will challenge the translation of the Hebrew word saris commonly translated as “eunuch” and will bring the reader to the true message of YHVH. And let not the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to Yehovah speak, saying, ‘Yehovah has certainly separated me from His...

There is a great deal of debate in the Hebrew Roots movement whether or not the most recognizable symbol in the world, the Star of David, is of a pagan origin. Arguments to prove that the Star of David is a pagan symbol have been found in a verse from Amos 5. We read, But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, (Amo 5:26-27 KJV) In...

How old was David when he killed Goliath the Philistine? Let us first see the context. But David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of Yehovah of hosts, the Elohim of the armies of Israel, whom you have reproached. This day Yehovah shall deliver you into my hand, and I shall smite you and take your head from you, and give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines today to the birds of...

The common perception is that Yeshua’s disciples were young adults as Kefa (Peter) being in his early forties while the rest of them were in their thirties. Yochanan (John) is believed to be the youngest among them. This perception is received mainly from the popular Bible movies where the disciples are portrayed more or less as such. But how old were they? In the account of Matthew, we read: And when they came into Kephar Nachum, those who received the tax came to...
