Why did God put so much emphasis on coming to this particular mountain, in this particular wilderness? Why didn’t he just bring them into the land? Why not give the Torah on Mount Zion, or Mount Moriah? Does God do…
We know that Mount Sinai was called the “mountain of God” in Exo 3.12 and Jabal-AL-Lawz fits the biblical description. It is east of the gulf of Aqaba, south of Edom and in Midian. Evidence presented in books is not…
To know where Mount Sinai is, we must know where Midian is, and we must totally discard the traditional site of Sinai that goes back to the fourth century and Helena. We know Moses was tending the sheep of Jethro…
Now we are going to deal with the crossing of the Red Sea. We have already stated that Moses journeys from Harawa (Suchos, Sukkot) with the bones of Joseph, and Pharaoh hears that they have “fled” (Exo 14.5-8). He knew…
We know from Exo 2.15-16 that Moses fled to Midian in northwest Arabia. The TYndale Bible Dictionary has a good article on Midian. Looking at the areas around Midian on a map we have names kike Kedar, Edom, Sela (Petra)…
We know that Israel was enslaved about 80 years, but where was Joseph and the evidence of his presence in Egypt, and his people. He was 17 when he was sold, and 30 when he began to rule. We will…
We are going to begin a series of studies that will discuss the Exodus out of Egypt, where Israel was in Egypt, where the bones of Joseph were, where Israel may have crossed the Red Sea, where Mount Sinai may…
The plain, simple answer to this in “No.” That would have made him a false teacher. But we do know that false witnesses claimed that Stephen was against these things in Acts 6.13-14, and he was killed because of his…
This is another verse that has been misinterpreted by many teachers. Simply put, the “law of liberty” is another name for the Torah commands found in what is called the Tanak (Torah, Nevi’im, Ketuvim). That was the only Scripture all…
There seems to be a lot of confusion about this practice in a Torah-based faith in Yeshua, so we are going to give some concepts on this subject, not only concerning men’s head coverings but also women’s. We are going…
Before we look at what it means for love to grow cold, we need to define a couple of words in context. The verse reads, “and because lawlessness is increased most people’s love shall grow cold (NASB).” The first word…
This is a common question, so first of all, we need to define what “keep and observe” means in regard to the Torah. To “keep and observe” the commandments means to incorporate the things of God into our lives, and…
These four fasts are still observed in many Jewish and non-Jewish Messianic circles today as a part of observing Jewish traditions, but it should be made known that they were never commanded by the Lord. In fact, Yehovah has a…
There are some people today who believe that these terms mean different things, but in actuality, they are really synonymous. There have been many false theological concepts that have developed over the years based on a simple misunderstanding of these…
Jude was written by one of the half-brothers of Yeshua in Matt 13.55 and Mark 6.3. His Hebrew name is “Yehudah” meaning “praise” or Judah, and in Greek, it is “Judas.” His brother Ya’akov or Jacob, rendered “James” in English…
The author of this letter is not named, but tradition says it was written by Yochanon (John), the Shaliach of Yeshua. It was written to a believer named Gaius and other Torah observant believers in Yeshua, at the end of…
The author of this letter is not named, but tradition says it was written by Yochanon (John) the Shaliach, written near the end of the first century. Some scholars believe that it was written before the Book of Revelation, but…
1 John 5.1-21 continues with the subject of love; the believer’s victory over the world by faith (confidence in action); the evidence that Yeshua is Messiah and King by the Ruach Ha Kodesh; the record in heaven and earth; the…
1 John 4.1-21 tells us about false prophets and teachers and how to test them and how to know them; the contrast between those in the world and those who know Yehovah; the call to love one another (love is…
1 John 3.1-24 tells us that being children of God means the world does not know us; our destiny in the Olam Haba; the character of lawlessness and the sin nature; practicing righteousness as defined in the Torah is proof…
