Ce qui est tragique? Ce qui est pathétique! Maybe the great tragedy in our own lives comes when we first learn that it is certain that we will die. Equally tragic, that we will die without knowing with the same certainty whether our consciousness will survive. How is it that we could be such sentient beings and come to nothing in the end? And life is given for the living and not for the dead. Somehow we seek to believe that our consciousness grants to us a right to live forever. So it is that we come to love this life - to cherish its wonder, its adventure, its challenges, its rewards, its maturity, its ongoing conversation. Yet it is written that there is no greater love than he who lays down his life for another. And what can be said about life? Is it not irrelevant if it is devoid of love? And so it is that we live to love, and love to live, and seek to determine if this is just the beginning - or even part of an ongoing continuum of life. Yet it is written that our names appear in the book of life written from the foundation of the world. How is this but that our lives - our thoughts, our hopes, our dreams, our ideas, our resolutions, our decisions - were all know from their beginning to their ending by he who created us. Our understanding of the metaphysical world around us - from good to evil, from light to the darkness, hinges around the notion that a supernatural world exists - something beyond our perception and senses. A world which can be understood, but not perceived.It is in this world that the promise of eternal life exists - the non-material world where truth, meaning, and even life itself exist. When we come to recognize this, we come to recognize this thing called the resurrection. When death arrives, let us remember what it is we know about the resurrection.

As the world begins into a great culling which is likely to be marked with supply chain issues and subsequent shortages, it behooves the believer to learn the discipline of fasting and prayer. Prepare your heart now, and you will know your inner strength well.

As we consider our beliefs what is the nature of our fellowship? Are we Torah Keepers? Messianic? Noahide? Netsariym? Before we answer how people should label us, let's take a look at what we believe and what we don't believe.Stay buckled in for your own safety and put your tray in the upright and locked position.

Forty days is appointed unto you - to reach understanding, to turn from wickedness and to embrace the way, the truth and the life. While many are called, few are chosen, and as a result, the gate is narrow and few find it. Are you one of those?The name of Yah is delivered now to those with ears to hear and eyes to see. The truth rises from earth among the qodeshiym and it does so in forty days.

In the world of the study of scripture, the true students have come to appreciate that the Gregorian Calendar which we have today, or the Julian Calendar which preceded it, have little to do with the calendar(s) discussed in scripture. As a result, many have searched the scripture over to find the true biblical pattern for the calendar, that they might correctly observe the feasts of Yahuah given to us specifically in Mosheh’s Torah, and reiterated throughout the Brit Chadashah (New Testament).While there are at least three independent calendars which are discussed in the scriptures – 1) Noach’s calendar which delivers a 360-day year – a calendar which is also adopted by Daniy’el; 2) the so-called Tsadoq or priestly calendar of 364 days based on a 30-30-31 pattern given to us in Yovheliym and Chanoch, and 3) the soli-lunar-stellar calendar given to us in Bere’shiyth 1:14, which appears to have been in use in the Gaelic/Celtic world from a time out of mind until overruled by Rome.It is not my intention here to assert the supremacy of one calendar system over another. If you adhere to a calendar which is different than the one I espouse, there will be no condemnation or verbal assault on your views here. I am simply setting forth the calendar as I understand it; the reasons why I adhere to this calendar; and most importantly, how this calendar works. As we will see, there is scriptural support for the ideas of “leap” days to accommodate each calendar, and there is evidence of a 13th month as well.

8 Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Se`iyr: Esau is Edom. Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 36:1-8. When studying this, we are handed yet another bill of geographic goods based upon the tired guesses of people whose conclusions begin with a predisposed bias. We are told that Mount Se'iyr is not a mountain at all, but rather a hill or set of hills around a place called Petra. Someone somewhere reached this conclusion and the world followed without actually taking a close look.When we look at it now, we will be able to see the forest for the trees, and to see it quite clearly, as the answer has been before us all of our lives. Once this is known however, it may change your understanding of the world today, as it likely will split the veil to show the inner sanctum of the truth - a truth that carries with it the ultimate irony, and a truth that defuses the myriad of claims made in our times which requires obeisance to an unnamed god and its progeny of usurpers.Can a simple fact be that important? Stay tuned as reason for yourself as we look into a place called Idumea.

Is there any way possible to ascertain the dates when all of those things written in the Besoroth (the gospels) actually happened? Is scripture silent or ambiguous to these things? Not at all. Luqas is quite keen on giving us enough information to determine a number of things. For instance, by telling us that Zakaryahu (the father of Yahuchanon the Baptizer) was a priest in the course of Aviyahu, we can get a direct reckoning of the date of conception for his son (having occurred in the 10-12 week following the beginning of the year), which would place his birth in the following spring. Mashiach would follow six months later, necessarily in the fall. This is the case notwithstanding extra-scriptural wives' tales about ewes calving and so forth. Luqas is quite specific.In addition he gives us a plethora of information in respect of the beginning of the ministry of Mashiach, starting there in Chapter 3. From this, we can reckon many things, including the year, the month, the day and even the hour of the critical events of the Besoroth (the gospels).Join me for this review of this timing. May this be a blessing to you. Remember to subscribe if you wish to chat during the presentation.

Many in the Christian world have questions: Questions about their prayer life such as, how should I address my prayers? Do I pray to Jesus or to God? If it says ask anything in my name, should I use the name of Jesus in closing all of my prayers? What about God? Is he the cruel war god described by so many that we are to avoid? Isn't there a difference between the God of the New Testament and the God of the Old Testament? If my church is strictly a New Testament church, should we be considering the Old Testament at all? Didn't all of that stuff get nailed to the cross? Should I actually read the Old Testament or just wait for my pastor to point out the relevant sections and leave the rest alone? Am I allowed to read the bible by myself? Isn't the Apocrypha just for Catholics? Will I fall from grace if I come to understand the laws, judgments, statutes and covenants of the Old Testament?The teaching of Mashiach tells you directly who to pray to: Our father, and then he models that kind of prayer in John 17. What if I told you that the name of the father and the name of the son were in essence the same? We will be looking at the idea that was proposed long ago claiming that the "God" of the Old Testament (Yahuah Elohiym) was a lesser demiurge than the "God" of the New Testament (Iesous Cristos whose birth name was not in Greek but Hebrew, and he was named after that famous deliver Joshua); this notion has been dispelled as heresy for centuries! Join us for a lively discussion on why the phrase "renewed covenant" is a better choice that "new testament".

In the world of today, there are those who are critically concerned with their self-identified pronouns – words which are used to clarify to a third person the identity of the person in question. To select and demand a particular pronoun use is to dictate both speech and thought. For some reason, the progressives of today find this to be important.But what of the use of the proper noun? In the world of identity, this is a rational priority. This is how we know that we are discussing the particular person, place, or thing, using an identifier that is specific to one and sufficient in difference to exclude virtually all others. Although proper nouns can be common as well, when combined with one or more others they work to create a singular identity.However, in the modern world, we have many who have undertaken to create a second or pseudo-identity, creating proper names for themselves other than the name given to them at birth. The question for today is, by what markers do we determine a person’s identity? And ultimately, how does this relate to the well-known “man of lawlessness”?Join us today for a discussion on these criteria.

Today we will review a few passages found in the Besoroth (the Gospels) in respect of the authority of the Rabbis, and the words of Mashiach in respect thereof. Does the word "Rabbi" actually appear in scripture? If so, where? And what about the authority of the scribes and Pharisees? What does your bible say?The Brit Chadasha (the New Testament) is the primary work for those of Mashiach, those who are of his body, those who are called according to his purpose. The Torah (instruction) in the New Testament does not vitiate, but does explain and define the prior teaching and instruction of the prophets and the writers. One admonition that is clarified concerns paying attention to those who would usurp the authority of Mashiach, or worse, the authority of the Father.One of the great links between the Old Testament and the New Testament lies in the prayer which begins: "Our Father". While those of the Marcionic heresy would point out that this is somehow a different Father than the one discussed in the OT, the scriptures speak otherwise. Divrei Hayamiym Ri'shon (1 Chronicles) 29:10-11 says this: Wherefore Daviyd blessed Yahuah before all the assembly: and Daviyd said, Blessed be you, Yahuah Elohai of Yashar’el our Father, forever and ever. 11 Yours, O Yahuah, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours; yours is the Kingdom, O Yahuah, and you are exalted as head above all. The Father is specifically identified, and this becomes even more compelling when you compare prayer to prayer!A person claiming the title of Rabbi usurps the authority of Mashiach to be your singular teacher. A person claiming the title of Father usurps the authority of the Father himself. This is important in our world today.
