The Hebrew Shavuot vs. the Greek Pentecost

Posted by on May 27, 2018 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

The Eternal gave His Covenant and Torah to His people on the day we celebrate as the Festival of the Weeks or in Hebrew: Chag Shavuot. In Greek however this day is called “Pentecost” (literally, the fiftieth). On the day of Pentecost, according to the Christian tradition and theology, in the upper room of apostle Peter, a new religious entity called “the Church” was born apart from Israel. The “proof text” the Christian theologians find...

Posted by on Apr 14, 2018 in The Revelation from YHVH, The War of Gog of Magog

The Book of Revelation encompasses all prophecy from Gen 3:15 to Rev 22:21-22 concerning the coming and return of...

Can We Know the Pronunciation of the Name of YHVH?

Posted by on Apr 1, 2018 in The Name of YHVH

Today, many in the Messianic movement say that we cannot know with certainty the pronunciation of the Name of YHVH, the Tetragrammaton Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey. They say that the exact pronunciation of the Name of YHVH was lost in antiquities and therefore impossible to know its correct uttering. Others go even further to say that we cannot know how to pronounce the Name of YHVH, because of “the conspiracy of the Rabbis” who have hidden it by purposely supplying...

Posted by on Jan 21, 2018 in The Exodus

When Mosheh broke the tablets of stone, aka the Ten Commandments, what happened to the pieces? Were they left on the ground and thus they were lost forever in the desert? Or they were stored somewhere. And if they were stored somewhere, where are they now? And why would Mosheh break something written with the finger of Elohim in the first place? These are all legitimate questions and in order to find answers to them, we need to follow the sequence of events in the first...

Messiah and the Temple. When will He Build the Third Temple?

Posted by on Jan 12, 2018 in The Messiah

Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, commonly known as Maimonides or Rambam, teaches in his book the Mishna Torah (Hilchot Malachim 11:4) that when the Messiah comes, He will also reinstate the Third Temple. His teaching is based on a prophecy in Zec 6:12-13 in which YHVH of the hosts said thus, See, the Man whose name is the Branch! And from His place He shall branch out, and He shall build the Temple of Yehovah. It is He who is going to build the Temple of Yehovah. It is He who is...

Did Paul Claim the Tithes? What did He Claim Instead?

Posted by on Dec 31, 2017 in Bible Study

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...

Will the Husband Take Back the Two Treacherous Sisters?

Posted by on Nov 19, 2017 in The Exiles

The law of divorce in Torah in Deu 24:1-4 refers to divorce in which a reunion with a divorced wife is forbidden, only if she had remarried another man who had also put her away or had died. The Torah does not forbid the reunion of the spouses, if the wife had not married another man and if they would desire to become a family again. This is the plain reading of the law of divorce in Torah. The Law of divorce in Torah When a man takes a wife and shall marry her, then it...

Did YHVH Tell Abraham to Sacrifice Isaac?

Posted by on Nov 12, 2017 in The Messiah, The Patriarchs' Saga

In the story of the banishment of Ishmael in Genesis 21, YHVH told Avraham that in his son Yitschak (Isaac) his seed was called (Gen 21:12), but in Gen 22:2, YHVH seems to have turned the promise upside down when He told Avraham to sacrifice him. And in the culmination of the story in Gen 22:12, it seems that YHVH had “changed” His mind again when He told him not to sacrifice Yitschak thus having created another internal challenge for Avraham. We thus see that...
