MASHAL (משל) — The Wisdom of Solomon
King Solomon also called Jedidiah יְדִידְיָה which is derived from Yedidiah. His names means “beloved of the Lord.” Yedidiah combines “yādid” (meaning “beloved”) with “Yah” (a form of God’s name). He was the successor of his father, King David. Solomon was the penultimate ruler of all Twelve Tribes of Israel under an amalgamated Israel and […]
LAUGHTER
Genesis 17:17 (KJV) — Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? When you think of the word laughter, who comes to mind? It should be Abraham and […]

AMERICA’S WATCHFUL EYE
Proverbs 15:3: “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good”. This image is causes different reactions.

Freemasonry played a significant role in the Washington Monument’s cornerstone ceremony […]
MARY WAS AN ACCOMPLICE (600th article)

WHY THE ROMANS?
With Passover and Ressurection Day (Easter) in less than two weeks, one might wonder about the timing of events in the Bible. Why did Jesus show up when he did? Why not when the Greeks or Babylonians ruled the world? The life of Yeshua retraces many of the Jewish holidays. But why did his ministry […]
