“SEE YAH!”
Yah-El (יָהּ־אֵל) is a Hebrew poetic combination meaning “Yah is God.” In Hebrew, the hard ‘J’ is pronounced ‘Ya.” For example, the name Jacob in Hebrew is יַעֲקֹב (Ya’akov) and it begins with Ya. The Hebrew word for “salvation” or “deliverance” is yeshu’ah (יְשׁוּעָה). It is derived from the root word Yasha (יָשַׁע), meaning “to […]
Is Yeshua in the Tenach?
With Passover 13 days away and “Resurrection Day” (Easter) 8 days after that, I thought I’d write (think) about the connections between the two. The events these holidays retell happened at the same time approximately 1400 א׳ת years apart, and yet the scriptures suggest to me that they are only 3 days apart. Exodus 11:4-6 (NIV) — So […]
SANITY FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
From a scriptural perspective, sanity is closely associated with having a sound mind. Conversely, a sense of disorder (chaos) and oppression come along with insanity. While the Bible does not explicitly use the term “sanity,” biblical principles emphasize that mental clarity and spiritual grounding are closely related. The scriptures tell us that wisdom and God’s […]
TEARS
1 Samuel 1:10-11 — In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all […]
TAV — 22
This post marks the completion of my effort to write about all 22 Hebrew letters. Tav (ת) is the 22nd and final letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet. Tav has a “t” sound. We get our English “T” from the Tav. (Among Ashkenazim the Tav has a “S” sound as well.) The number 22, Tav, has special meaning […]
KAF – 20.
The Hebrew letter Kaf (כ) is the 11th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, with a numerical value of 20. Kaf is the Sound: “K” and “KH.” Kaf has two forms: the standard form (כ) and the final form (ך), used at the end of words. There are five letters in the Hebrew alphabet that have two […]
THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME
Psalm 80:17-19 — Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. Restore us, Lord God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may […]
MESSIANIC OBSERVATIONS
There seems to be a broad sense than we are living in unique times. I’m not a messenger of end-times — These are just observations. The bible is specific about the sorts of things that will be happening in such times. Decide for yourself: — Do you see parallels to ALL of these things: “Many will […]
A FARM TRACTOR FROM HEAVEN
Two years ago I got a call from my mother’s aid while I was at our community Purim Carnival with my grandchildren. Mom didn’t wake up. This year, while I was at Temple during Purim to hear the Megillah Esther read, I was thinking about it being my Dad’s birthday. His March 14th birthday fell […]
PE – 80
Exodus 70.1 — The Lord said to Moses, “See how important I have made you? In speaking to Pharaoh, you will be like God, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. In Hebrew, the letter “Pe” (פ) is the 17th letter in the Hebrew Alpha-beyt. Both the ancient and modern form of the letter is shaped like a mouth. Pe’s gematria […]
