    Words from the Mountain Top (Leviticus 25:1-26:2)

    Parasha: B'Har (On the Mountain) LEVITICUS 25:1-26:2 “Give it a rest! Will ya?” I am sure you have heard that expression before, or “Give it a rest already!” People tend to say that when one continues in some theme or argues over a point that is "pointless", HOWEVER, God is saying...

    A look at Amos 9:7-15 and Luke 2:1-52

    A bit more over the subject of "Holiness" (Leviticus 21:1-24:23)

    PARASHAH: “Emor” (say.) LEVITICUS 21:1-24:23 In this parashah study, we see more details on the sanctity, Holiness, and comportment of priests. When we read in chapter 21, we read that YHVH is very particular and pays much attention to the physical. We might think that God only looks upon the...

    What does it mean to be "Holy?" (Leviticus 19:1-20:27)

    Parasha: Kedoshim (Holy Ones) Leviticus 19:1-20:27 Chapter 19 starts with the words; “Ye shall be Holy for I am Holy”. When we look at the original Hebrew we read; “Amarta Aleichem Kadoshim ti’hiyu Ki Kadosh Ani” But there is something different in the two words; “Kadoshim” (ones who are holy)...

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO "COUNT THE OMER?" (Leviticus 23:10-17) Many Christians probably are not familiar with these words; "counting of the Omer" However, when we read in Leviticus 23:10-17 the instructions from God, we can see symbolism in our Messiah Yeshua. So, grab your Bibles and read...

    2 Samuel 6:1-7:17 and Mark 14:1-72
