How does the Google Ngram Viewer answer the question: Who are the people who call themselves today “Palestinians? Who are the people, who live in the land on both sides of the Jordan River, and where did they come from? And where did the Edomites (the brothers of the Israelites, who lived on the eastern side of the Jordan before them) go? Another question that is almost forced upon us is: Who are the people today, who call themselves “Palestinians”, and where did they...

Question: Yeshua said, “Avraham saw my day and rejoiced”. When did Avraham see him? Answer: Yeshua indeed said that father Avraham saw his day and rejoiced (Joh 8:56). Moreover, he said that Mosheh saw him too and wrote about him (Luk 24:44, Joh 5:46). But when and how did they see Yeshua because nowhere in the Hebrew Scripture we find such statements? Yet Yeshua said it and meant it. Many will quote Mosheh’s own words regarding the prophet who will come...

Question: Why does the Torah speak in the Creation story in third person? He was the only One before the beginning. Answer: Indeed, the Torah speaks in third person singular “He” instead of first person “I”. For example, the first verse in the Scripture is telling us, “In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth”. Who said that? Should it not be said, “In the beginning I created the heavens and the earth”? In the beginning Elohim was the only one and no one...

Question: What do the religions teach about going to heaven? Answer: The different religions teach different ways about going to heaven. As a matter of fact, these religions are seen as the highways to heaven; and their “gospels” are the tickets to heaven. As we will see, some of those tickets are not cheap at all. For example, one of the religions teach about getting to heaven that if you go every week to their place of worship and pay 10-percent religion tax,...

Question: Is Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) called ‘Sabbath’ as the weekly Sabbath? Answer: The Seventh Day of the week and Yom Kippur are indeed called ‘Sabbath’. The Hebrew word Shabbat is not a name of a day, as the Biblical days of the week do not have names, nor do the months have names. Unlike the non-Biblical calendars, such as the Rabbinical and Christian calendars, which have pagan names for days and months, the calendar of the Creator...

Question: What was Israel’s life for 38 years in the desert of Arabia? Answer: After the sin of ten spies for rejecting the Promised Land, the nation was sent back to the desert until that generation died out in Arabia. We should recall that the sin for making the golden calf was forgiven, but the sin for rejecting the Promised Land was not and the people were sent back in the desert. Most regrettably, we know very little of Israel’s life in the wilderness of...

Question: In the plague in Moav 24,000 died, but Paul said 23,000. Which is true?Answer: Torah says, “And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.” (Num 25:9)But Apostle Shaul (Paul) says referring to the same event, “Neither should we commit whoring, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell,” (1Co 10:8)It seems that there are conflicting facts in the Scripture. Why would the apostle say that 23,000 died, whereas...

Question: How do we count the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, and can we know when they will occur? Answer: The law of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years is given in Leviticus 25. The children of Israel were commanded that when they would come into the land, they were to observe a Sabbath of the land to YHVH. Six years the land is to be tilled and gather in its fruit, but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest. No field work is allowed in the Sabbatical year....

Question: According to the Torah, what does the Passover dinner include? Answer: The law of Pesach (Passover lamb) is very specific on what the Pesach dinner should include. We read in Exo 12:8-10 that we shall eat lamb roasted in fire with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs. We are not to eat it raw, nor boiled, but roasted in fire. And what remains of the lamb, we are to burn with fire and not discard in the trash. It is not an ordinary meal; it is the Pesach of YHVH....
