The purpose of animal sacrifice was the temporary atonement for sin under the old covenant. It was a foreshadow to the Perfect Sacrifice and perfected atonement for sin through Yeshua who is YHWH/God come in the flesh. When Messiah was crucified and presented His Body as a Living Sacrifice, the Perfect Passover Lamb, it nullified physical sacrifices. Continue reading “The Living Temple”
The “Wailing Wall”…the remains of the temple?
You may have heard that the “Wailing Wall”, or the Western Wall, is what remains of the second temple that was around when Yeshua came, and has been a source of conflict for many years. However is this true? or have we been deceived into believing such? Continue reading “The “Wailing Wall”…the remains of the temple?”
Passed Over, Our Kinsman Redeemer
(October 28, 2017)
During the first Passover, Yahweh(YHWH) had the Israelites put the blood of the Passover Lamb above their doorposts, so that they would not be killed. It was YHWH Himself who passed over the door, proclaiming a future time when He would come in the flesh and shed His own blood, becoming our Kinsman Redeemer.
•Ex 12:23“And יהוה shall pass on to smite the Mitsrites, and shall see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and יהוה(YHWH)SHALL PASS OVER THE DOOR and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. Continue reading “Passed Over, Our Kinsman Redeemer”
Sandal Strap not Worthy to Loosen
Why was John not worthy to loosen the strap of Yeshua/Jesus’s sandal?
John 1:27the One coming after me, who has become before me, WHOSE SANDAL STRAP I AM NOT WORTHY TO LOOSEN.”
John realized that in by saying this, that he was not worthy to be the Kinsman Redeemer. What he was speaking, concerning the sandal strap being loosened, is in reference to not only the kinsman redeemer law mentioned in Leviticus 25, but also the levirate law mentioned in Deuteronomy 25: Continue reading “Sandal Strap not Worthy to Loosen”
True Freedom
September 12, 2016
There is a song that I sometimes sing, that many of you may know and it goes something like this “My chains are gone, I’ve been set free, my God, My Savior has ransomed me, and like a flood His mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing grace”
It had me thinking about one of the things I came to realize while being in the military, that being the illusion of freedom. Continue reading “True Freedom”

Formed Out of The Dust of The Earth
August 10, 2016
I am still just so amazed by this, and that the Holy Spirit helped me in seeing and understanding:
John 9:1And passing by, He saw a man, blind from birth.2And His taught ones asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”3יהושע answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of Elohim might be made manifest in him.
4“It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day – night is coming, when no one is able to work.5“While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6Having said this, HE SPAT ON THE GROUND AND MADE CLAY WITH THE SALIVA, AND APPLIED THE CLAY TO THE EYES OF THE BLIND MAN.
7And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Shiloaḥ” (which means Sent). So he went and washed, and came seeing.(ISR 98) Continue reading “Formed Out of The Dust of The Earth”
Our Teacher of Righteousness
(September 11, 2017)
I was reading in Isa the other day with the ISR, but I am putting the NASB translation here because it illustrates more what the Spirit showed me, and I began to weep:
Isa 30:20Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, HE, YOUR TEACHER WILL NO LONGER HIDE HIMSELF, BUT YOUR EYES WILL BEHOLD YOUR TEACHER. Continue reading “Our Teacher of Righteousness”
Why call “Me Master, Master”?
October 21, 2017
I thought it to be quite interesting when I came across this passage in my reading last night and this morning:
Luke 6:46“But why do you call Me ‘Master, Master,’ and do not do what I say?
Reading this passage brought me then to a passage in Malachi: Continue reading “Why call “Me Master, Master”?”
A Memory…
Originally written 27 April 2017:
A memory from the past has invaded my mind, a one of slavery and corruption, although not understood at the time, as I was just as bound, looking out the window of my own soul….. Continue reading “A Memory…”
