Did believers in Yeshua go to the Synagogue or to a “church” 2000 years ago? They went to the Synagogues, the “Kahal” or “congregation or assembly.” This word “kahal” was translated into Greek as “ecclessia.” For example, the book of…
We are going to go into this concept a little deeper than usual, but it needs to be done because many people believe that Yeshua may have been born around the fall harvest festival of Sukkot, and not December 25th,…
Understanding the Biblical Festivals is one of the keys to understanding the Scriptures and to help us unlock prophecy. We are going to take a brief sampling of just one festival called Shavuot (Pentecost) and use it as an example…

Psa 84.10 says, “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand (outside). I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.” We can see in this…
There are many people today that do not understand the reasons for the sacrificial ceremonial system set up by Yehovah in the Scriptures. We are going to look and see how many in Israel missed the point anciently, and then…
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…
This term is used by Paul to illustrate several concepts. These concepts are not understood by most believers as they read the Renewed Covenant, and it leads to a great deal of misunderstanding. The word “law” is “Torah” in Hebrew…
Acts 21.1-40 tells us about what happened on the way back to Jerusalem; Paul is warned again of the danger that awaits him in Jerusalem; Paul learns about a rumor about him, saying that he is teaching Jewish people to…
