Vav – 6
Vav is designed like a peg or hook or nail. It connects. It is a chute which connects the higher level to the lower level. That concept applies to the design of the letter Aleph. There is actually a Vav in the letter Aleph. Grammatically the Vav is used like “and” in English. Vav in front […]
Samekh – 60
Samekh (Samech) is the 15th letter in the Hebrew aleph-beyt. It’s gematria value is 60, which reduces 6, the letter Vav. I love to look for the alphanumeric connections for better understanding and deeper meaning. Names and dates can be extremely enlightening as well, if applicable. In Hebrew numerology, the number 15, represents three “three fives.” The Hebrew letter “Hey” […]
EXODUS 20.2 – I AM
Exodus 20 is where we find the Ten Commandments. The first commandment reads: Exodus 20:3 (Chabad) — “You shall not have the gods of others in My presence.” There are two verses before we get to the first commandment.

The story of Hannukah is the history of the mighty Maccabees who defeated the Seleucids. The Seleucid Empire was […]
WOULD YOU RATHER LINCOLN?
President Trump’s Presidential Inauguration is just a day away. His speech will be heard around the world. What will he say? Before I get into what Trump will say, I must remind what Trump has already said which has already marked the day. “ALL THE HOSTAGES have to be released.” Otherwise, “There will be HELL TO PAY!” […]
HELL TO PAY
Are you walking today the Light or falling away? Trump said that there would be “Hell to pay” if the hostages that Hamas is holding are not released by his inauguration this Monday, which is after the Sabbath. Interesting timing. What is also interesting is Trump’s choice of words, “Hell to pay.” Yeshua (Jesus) statement, “For […]

Psalm 42:1-3 — As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? Psalm 42.10 –I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the […]
THE SIGN OF JONAH
SUSPEND YOUR ATTITUDES AND BELIEFS ABOUT JESUS AND JUST EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE. In the Gospel of Matthew (12: 38-40) and Luke (11:29-32), the scribes and Pharisees say to Jesus, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” Jesus, Yeshua’s response is emphatic: “… no sign will be given to it except the sign of […]
