They say a picture is worth a thousand words…
Well, an acquaintance sent me a picture from Jerusalem, and it tells about a thousand words…
It may be hard to get the message just from this pic, so, here is another of the beautiful snow a couple days ago in Jerusalem.
Here are a couple more interesting and glorious pictures that illustrate the same story, and of course… the story. Continue reading
This will bless your socks off!! Seriously!!
You are seeing prophecy fulfilled!
Please share!!
This series is very interesting and highly informative. (Sometimes disheartening as to the level of ignorance in the pulpit, too…)
The rest of the series, if you have missed previous installments, can be found on Zac’s New2Torah YouTube channel.

The Apostle Paul was NOT a Christian
10 Question Pop Quiz: Subject, Paul
As I was reading several chapters in Ezekiel last night, I came across a passage that so perfectly describes the Christian Church that it occurred to me that if God DOESN’T judge her, then He will HAVE to apologize to Jerusalem.
Here is the passage, tell me if this is not a perfect description of ‘churchianity’ and the governments of so-called ‘Christian nations:’
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 24 “Son of man, say to her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.’ 25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst like a roaring lion tearing the prey. They have devoured lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of Continue reading
It was inevitable, really… These last several weeks of studying the story of Joseph in Genesis and his being taken down to Egypt led to me finally having the Bangles, singing ‘Walk Like an Egyptian,‘ stuck in my head… Gack!
[Now you know how really warped my poor mind works… LOL! ]
But there is a lesson here….
As we have recently explored, the Joseph story is a picture of 2000 years of history. Here is the quick recap:
Perhaps the most incredible prophecies in Scripture are coded in the story of Joseph and his brothers. I have written a couple pieces on the Joseph/Jesus connection, but here is an audio teaching from a personal favorite, Kimberly Rogers at The Messianic Message, that does an incredible job in a short span of time.
Listen to this and be challenged and totally blessed!! If you LOVE prophecy, and you are not familiar with the prophecies in Joseph, this may be the most incredible teaching you have ever heard!

There are a couple items in this I would question, but certainly, it is a fascinating understanding of who Joseph and Benjamin are/represent.
Discuss.
Terrific video articulating what it means to be a Nazarene, who the Nazarenes were and what some of the Church Fathers had to say about them.
This is an awesome, awesome interview!! So much good material here from Messianic Rabbi Itzhak Shapira! I just love this guy and his total passion for his people. Even more so, as we see him speaking to non-Jewish believers of every stripe, he is rightly challenging the traditions of men and clearly articulating what HAS to happen before Messiah Yeshua returns!
This is in two parts, be sure to see both! It is an absolute blessing!!
Here is part one:
Here is part two: Continue reading
Here is an interesting question that reveals a theological/doctrinal conundrum for most of Christendom.
Enjoy! It’ll take a while to work through this one!! Sure to be blessed.
Roman Catholics ought to as well, for that matter!
Both groups might claim that God will never flood the earth again, but they certainly do not believe that and I can prove it!
The basis for believing that God will never flood the earth again is the presence of the rainbow, an occasional sign in the heavens as promised in Genesis 9:8-17. Let’s read,
Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your [g]descendants after you;… 11 I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for [h]all successive generations; 13 I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.…… 16 When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
I know, some of you think I’ve already painted myself into a corner Continue reading
Paul never converted to anything.
Christian mythos teaches that Saul, a rabbi, converted to Christianity. In fact, that is utter fallacy to support false doctrine/theology.
Here is what my New American Standard Bible says,
“Acts 9:1-3 (NASB)
The Conversion of Saul
9 Now [a]Saul, still breathing [b]threats and murder against the
disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him;… ”
First, that big ‘The Conversion of Saul,’ is inserted by the editors. It is not inspired Scripture, and the only thing it does is set the reader up with a FALSE premise! Continue reading
A number of months ago, I began using honey in my morning coffee instead of refined sugar. In fact, because we have bees, my wife began substituting honey in a number of places in our family’s diet.
Well, late last week I was refilling the ‘honey bear’ 
from a Mason jar full of my bees’ honey and had a convenient ‘spill.’ Of course, I licked it up… Hmmm.
Then it hit me, ‘this used to be the sweetest stuff on the planet!’ In fact, for thousands of years honey was the sweetest readily available ‘sugar’ on the planet. Only in the last century has man begun to use the laboratory and myriad chemicals to develop alternative sweeteners, aspartame being just one, as well as a plethora of intense flavors derived from all manner of bizarre stuff.
Not long ago I saw a ‘hell’evision program detailing the constant quest in the food industry for new and intense flavors to make whatever food substitute item more desirable, thus selling more product. And, ruining consumer’s health in the process.
My brain, taking those diverse pieces of information, as I licked up the spilled honey, suddenly made some interesting connections. Continue reading
Dedication! Shabbat Message, 11-30-13.
Audio message from this week’s Shabbat. First five minutes of audio is bad, but gets much better. Message about ‘dedication’ and righteous living in a corrupt and ‘unclean’ culture.
My comment for this video:
AMEIN! Bro, I was working on a piece about this very passage and the surrounding context last week, but didn’t finish it! You nail the high points. Even more significant is that in this ‘If-Then’ statement, Abba YHWH goes on to tell Solomon that His NAME, His EYES and His HEART would dwell in a particular place FOREVER. Yep, Yerushalayim!
Please people, get out of Babylon/Rome (Rev. 18) and return to the ancient ways (Jeremiah 6:16-19)!!
For more on this passage, please read the larger context.
