Shavuot

Apparently, I’ll never get over the ignorance of how Christianity (practically every denomination) casually declares the Seventh Day Sabbath to have been replaced by “The Lord’s Day” of Sunday. The key evidences they often site are Messiah’s rising on Easter Sunday, and the Holy Spirit’s coming on Pentecost… Read More »Tzit-Tziot and the Seventh Day Sabbath

Yesterday we witnessed Israel, collectively and for the first time since creation, suddenly become perfect.  They have agreed to the Holy Covenant and thus far have not transgressed those laws.  This gives them a special status which they did not have before declaring “all these things you have… Read More »Tablets Made of Sapphire Stone

Our people arrived at Mt. Sinai on the third day of the third month. The Israelites made an oral pledge to listen and obey the words of Yah, and accordingly Yah told them to set up barriers around the mountain.  Then  they were told to to consecrate themselves… Read More »A Primer to “The Book of The Law”

Numbering these lessons, and having some sort of purposeful build-up… Read More »Humility and Holy Ground

Yesterday we talked about the number 10, and how Yah made everything that exists through the expression “God Said”–used 10 times in a row in Genesis 1.  He similarly laid the foundation for his latest creation, Israel, by delivering—directly from His mouth to their ears—10 Words. To make… Read More »The Hidden Allegory of “Bar”
