Jesus was not advocating the end of even the minutest detail of the Law. “Amen, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot nor title shall ever pass from Torah until all things come to pass.” (Matthew 5:18).  Jot and title are referring to the details of … Continue reading →

Track with me on my thought process… (John 3:3) “I tell you the truth, unless a man is Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 18:3) “Except [you] be converted and become as little children, [you] shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Last week I … Continue reading →

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (NIV) (Exodus 20:8-11; 31:13-16).  This post is about the commandment to keep the Sabbath.

Well, I finally did it – researched the number 12 in the bible. For so long, I’ve wondered about the number twelve:  12 apostles, 12 months, 12 sons of Jacob, 12 tribes.  Our God is a God of detail. Goodness, ever notice how detailed He is in describing the materials … Continue reading →

How did December 25 come to be associated with Jesus’ birthday? The Bible offers few clues: Celebrations of Jesus’ Nativity are not mentioned in the Gospels or Acts; the date is not given, not even the time of year.  The biblical reference to shepherds tending their flocks at night when … Continue reading →

The reference of ‘three days’ occurs 75 times in the bible.  Whereas it only refers to five days three times.  It’s always wise to notice when God places emphasis on something repetitively…and certainly 75 times is worth noticing! In Scripture the number three is one of the so called “perfect … Continue reading →

The Gospel writers either did not know when the event happened or they did not feel the information was important enough to pass along.  We can only speculate.  Some speculate that the church associated the birth of Jesus with the winter solstice and assume that the church chose December 25 … Continue reading →

Shraga Simmons teaches that for seven days, during God’s appointed time of Sukkot, we symbolically move out of our wall-to-wall carpeted, air-conditioned house, into a little hut or booth called a Sukkah. But how is this supposed to make us happy?!… [and what’s in it?] The lesson is that the … Continue reading →

Sukkot, comes four days after Yom Kippur, (starting on the fifth day) and lasts for seven days.  During that time, we remember the protection God gave to the people during the forty years they spent travelling in the desert.  Sukkot, is also referred to as the Festival of Booths and is the last festival … Continue reading →

There are four days between Yom Kippur and Sukkot, which is the biblical holiday that commands to make a Sukkah. Some bible scholars say that the influence of Yom Kippur and its power to expiate sins extends into these four days.  Just as before Rosh Hashana we are given a minimum of four … Continue reading →

Today is forty-one days, which is five weeks and six days of the Omer. May the Merciful One restore unto us the service of the Bet Hamikdash to its place, speedily in our days; Amen, Selah. For the Choirmaster; a song with instrumental music; a Psalm. May God be gracious … Continue reading →

  The seven-week period between Passover and Shavuot has a name – the time between the two biblical holidays is called the Omer or the Counting of the Omer. The Omer was a measure of about two quarts of barley that ancient Jews brought to the Temple in Jerusalem as … Continue reading →
