Bible Studies for the Two Houses of Israel
Introduction For a long time, I have believed and taught that the rapture was post-tribulation based on Yeshua’s teaching in Matthew 24:29-31. 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will beContinue reading The Two-Part Rapture: The Sixth Seal and the Gathering of the Elect
Introduction This study pulls together several pieces of evidence and threads found in the Holy Scriptures to make the proposition that the Ten Tribes of Israel along with families of the Tribes of Judah will not go straight to Israel, but will instead be routed to the territory of ancient Assyria, which is known inContinue reading From Exile to Kurdistan
The book of Revelation is well known to be a book filled with imagery and symbols. In many parts of Christendom, Revelation is considered to be very difficult, if not impossible to understand. Some years ago, I read somewhere (unfortunately, I cannot recall the source) that a Jewish scholar looked at Revelation and said thatContinue reading Revelation 12’s Woman and Her Children
Most of us who read the book of Daniel are familiar with the story of Daniel in the Lions’ Den and perhaps, to a lesser extent, Daniel’s three good friends being thrown into the fire. In both cases, our Jewish protagonist(s) miraculously survived with the help of Heaven. Also, in both cases, these Jewish menContinue reading A Lesson from the Babylonian Exile
In February 2021, I was taking notes in preparation for writing the weekly commentary for Yitro (Exodus 18:1 – 20:26).

Let’s look at this passage. 3 Then Moses went upContinue reading The Voice of the Lord

Halachah is the Hebrew word meaning “the walk.” Put simply, halachah is the set of rules that we follow as we move through life. We use these rules as guides in our decision making with respect to the varied aspects and situations that we encounter on our journeys this side of the Jordan. For HebrewContinue reading My View on Developing Halachah
This morning, on 11 September 2020, I read a Fox News article reporting that Candace Cameron Bure of “Full House” fame had posted to her Instagram account a picture of her husband embracing her with his hand on her breast. The Fox News article is here. Please see and judge for yourself. I was surprisedContinue reading On Public Displays of Affection
The image above is that of a large African polygamist family. In the past several decades to centuries, missionaries from the western churches following the Latin or Protestant traditions encounter many such families. Because mandatory monogamy has been established for over a thousand years in Europe and countries populated by those of European ancestry, missionariesContinue reading On Western Christian Evangelism to non-Western Cultures
Introduction In the first part of this study (see Synagogue and Church, Part 1: The Historical and Legal Background of Matthew 23:1-12), we presented an argument that Yeshua used His royal authority to change the assignment of responsibility from the Sadducees who ran the Temple to the Pharisees and scribes, and appointed the apostles toContinue reading Synagogue and Church – Part Two
