Once a person believes in Yeshua in a Torah-based faith, what do you study and where should you begin? We are going to name a few subjects that are very important to know if you want to understand the Scriptures,…
Rom 7.1-25 tells us that we have been set free from the curse of the law (Torah), meaning the Judicial aspect of the Torah. We are no longer “under indictment or arrest” for our sins. We know from Rom 1…
We would like to present our basic opinion on this issue, and give some information that may help a person looking into this question. The word in Hebrew for “sabbath” basically means to cease, rest or complete, and it carries…
Considering what happened to Samson, how could he be a picture of the Messiah? However, not everything about a biblical character has to fit exactly, but there are aspects to his birth and death that tells us a great deal…
The writers of the Gospels and Epistles were Jewish and they believed in a Torah-based faith in Yeshua that was given by God in the Torah. They warned of a coming deception that would lead many away from the faith…
This question comes up very often, especially when talking to Jews who question Yeshua’s claim to be Messiah, or when a person is being converted to Judaism and the rabbis they are listening to question the validity of Yeshua virgin…
John 4.1-26 has an interesting exchange between Yeshua and a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s Well, and we want to present a different view on these verses for consideration. This conversation will not be about her personal life. The Samaritans were…
Yeshua said in Luke 24.27 that the Scriptures teach about him and the redemption, so this story is no exception. It is found in 2 Kings 6.1-7 and Elisha (God is my salvation) will be a picture of Yeshua who…
One of the most undervalued concepts in the Scriptures is the study of genealogies and names. Often these areas can be a gold mine of information, and we are going to give a prime example from the book of Genesis…
In 1 Kings 3.16-28, we have the story of two women who are called “harlots” (a type for “sinners” but the word “zonot” can also mean “innkeepers” and 1 Kings 3.18 gives us insight into this) and this story is…
2 Sam 9.1-13 tells us about David’s inquiry about the descendants of Saul and he finds the grandson of Saul named Mephibosheth (extermination of the idol/shame) and restores his father’s land. He was crippled in both feet and was five…
The Bible is full of characters that accomplished great things for Yehovah and some tend to lift up these people to a stature that even the characters themselves would be uncomfortable with. They would be the first to tell us…
In 1 Sam 17.40 David is going to fight Goliath and he picks up five smooth stones, and this is very significant in what David is doing. In the Peshat, or literal level, David is not being presumptuous here and…
A question came to us awhile back about the biblical food laws when a Christian contended with a believer in Yeshua, and went and talked with his pastor, and the pastor gave the following Scriptures to show that Christians are…
This is one of the most misunderstood portions of Scripture in the Tanak, Gospels and Epistles, so let’s get to the heart of the matter. Jephthah (Hebrew “Yiftach” meaning “he will open or release”) did not offer his daughter as…
Gen 6.2 tells us that “the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and they took wives to themselves, whoever they chose.” Genesis in Hebrew is “B’reshit” or “in the beginning” so it is a book…
The book of Galatians is a misunderstood book by many, and we are going to introduce some of the reasons for this, but it will not be in detail. For that we refer you to our verse-by-verse study of the…
Yehovah will bring us into struggles and battles plain and simple, no doubt about it. Why does he do this and how should we handle them? The simple answer is he is trying to teach us something. Spiritual warfare is…
Deut 8.11 says, “Beware, lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his ordinances and his statutes, which I am commanding you today.” As Israel went through life, they were not to forget the Lord…
This is a very mystical (Hebrew “Sowd” meaning a hidden, deeper meaning) expression, and this expression is directly related to another expression, “the veil (singular) of the Temple was torn (Matt 27.51; Mark 15.38).” The veil that was torn when…
