10/31 “the egyptians /horus/jesus/yahuwshuwah” – Please check out this post SHEMA – Perspective from Judaism which explains the difference between Jewish Monotheism from the different belief systems in the religions of the world, including the virgin cult which began with Isis/Horus.
10/31 “jacob hertz the pentateuch and haftorahs pdf download” – Rabbi/Dr. Jacob H. Hertz edited the excellent resource book Pentateuch and Haftorahs. The commentaries on the books of Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy plus Introduction and additional information come from various Jewish scholars and Rabbis. We have found this book so valuable that we’ve recommended it in our MUST READ/MUST OWN list. Our library copy is the 2nd edition, published in London by Soncino Press in year 5734/1973; in fact it’s an imperfect copy with quite a number of typographical errors, and that’s why we got it cheap at a Messianic Conference book sale some 5 years ago. It is available only in the hardback edition, a few new and used copies are available at amazon.com, the cheapest is $9.00.
– 10/31 ” Introduction to the old testament literary prophecy” – Notice in the posts below that there are only 3 major prophets featured, 1 is missing, who and why? The Book of Daniel which, in the Christian “Old Testament” is the 4th and probably the most important prophet (because it is used as the key for understanding the NT book of Revelation)—is not categorized under the Prophets. In the Hebrew Scriptures, acronym “TNK” for Torah-Neviim-Ketuviim, the book of Daniel in TNK is relegated to “Ketuviim” or “the Writings” where inspired literature (and not the very words of YHWH) are categorized. Surprised? When you think about it, Daniel merely interpreted dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar, much like Joseph interpreted dreams of Pharoah. They were not considered “prophets” like Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel and the 12. Ironically, in the rearrangement of TNK books in the Christian Bible’s Old Testament, the canon-fixers not only expanded the TNK from 24 to 39 books, added Daniel to the 3 major prophets to give it more importance because hey, the climax of the NT canon— the Book of Revelation cannot be understood without it.

10/29 “what we might do together abraham heschel” – No Religion is an Island – Abraham Joshua Heschel
10/29 “tanach verse ‘ihate your new moons and sabbaths'” – This verse comes from Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14; Israel had acted like a “harlot” whoring after other gods and YHWH through his mouthpiece the prophet Isaiah declares to His chosen people that even if He had given them commandments in Waiqrah/Leviticus 23 regarding “My” appointed times such as the Sabbath and other festivals, their performance of rituals have become abhorrent to Him. This is tantamount to mindless church-going on Sunday to worship for 1 hour while living in disobedience to Torah the rest of the week. Such angry declarations by the God of Israel nevertheless includes an offer to repent and blessing that comes with repentance. Isaiah texts have often been used to apply to the Christian savior but careful and consistent continuous reading of the whole book (as opposed to isolated verses taken out of context) shows that the only “son” and “servant” referred to is no other than Israel.
HNT 1:12-19
12. When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts?
13. Do not bring any more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to Me; new moon and Shabbath, the calling of assemblies, I cannot [bear]— away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.
14. Your new moons and your appointed feasts My Nephesh hates; they are a trouble to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
15. And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; yes, when you make many prayers, I will not listen to attentively. Your hands are full of blood.
16. Wash and do well; put away the evil of your doings from before My Face and My eyes; desist from making right for nothing;
17. learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, and plead for the widow.
18. Come now, and let us reason together, says יהוה: Though your straying and missing the purpose and the objective is as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be as wool.
19. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the right of the land:
20. But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of יהוה has

10/23 “what was the sermon about jesus preach on mount sanai” – Correction please; according to the gospels, Jesus did preach “sermons”, one was supposedly on a mountain while another was supposedly on a plain. The word “sermon” itself is churchy, speficially Christian . . . which Jesus, being a Jew, surely could not have been, since Christianity as an official religion did not begin until the 4th century BC or CE. However, we did write an article to make a distinction between what Jesus supposedly preached on a montain or plain or wherever, and the revelation on Mount Sinai by the God of Israel Who, by the way, was not a trinitarian god as He Himself kept emphasizing all through the Hebrew Scriptures. And yes, there is a big difference between a ‘sermon’ and a ‘revelation’, find out for yourself in: The Sermon on Sinai vs. The Sermon on the Mount

10/19 “joshua 1:8″ – This verse has landed in ‘search engine terms’ repeatedly; we do not have a post on it, but let me write some thoughts here since it will most likely be showing up often. Why? Because it is a key verse emphasizing the importance of the Torah in the historical context of the chosen people’s beginnings. The time-frame of this verse is at the end of the wilderness wandering of 40 years when a new generation was about to enter and conquer the Land. Moses, their leader/prophet/mediator had finished his assignment from YHWH and a new leader, this time a warrior, would lead the 2nd generation who were born free in the wilderness. Yehuwshuwa/Joshua (together with Caleb) was of the first generation that left Egypt but all have died including Moses, before entering the Promised Land. What was given to the first generation who stood on Sinai to accept the Covenant with YHWH as well as Israel’s Book of instructions and laws to live by, is passed on to the 2nd generation who are reminded by the same God of their fathers to live by the same guidelines and commandments.
Notice the key words: contemplate/observe/do=successful/act wisely;
strong/courageous, why? “For YHWH is with you. . . .”
[AST] This Book of the Torah shall not depart from your mouth; rather you should contemplate it day and night in order that you observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way successful, and then you will act wisely. Behold, I have commanded you, ‘Be strong and courageous,’ do not lose resolve, for HASHEM, your God, is with you wherever you will go.”
[HNT] 8. This Çepher haTowrah [Scroll; Writings of the Teachings; Instructions] will not depart out of your mouth, but you will meditate on it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written. Your way will push forward and then you will be mindful. 9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and alert; do not be afraid, nor dismayed, for יהוה your ‘Elohiym [Mighty One] is with you wherever you walk.

10/10 “no christianity before nicaea 325″ – Messianics claim that the ‘movement’ that sprang out of Jesus/Yeshua from the time of his ministry to his crucifixion and expanded in the NT book of Acts is Messianic Judaism. They claim that Christianity officially began in the councils that met and discussed who was Jesus and decided by vote, etc. This MUST READ item gives some background but if you’re interested in the whole story, then it becomes MUST BUY: Man-made Creeds: Nicaea (325), Constantinople (381) and Athanasius (c.430?)
