John is the English form of the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning, “YHVH has been gracious.” He was an Apostle, the son of Zebedee, the brother of James. Not the James, Yahshua’s brother. Harmonizing Matthew 27:56 with Mark 15:40 suggests that John’s mother was Salome. If she was also the sister of Yahshua’s mother (Yochanan 19:… Read more »

Rom 3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law (Torah) says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to G-d; In this verse Sha’ul is not talking about the Pentateuch only(first five books of the Bible), but the entire Tanakh… Read more »

Text: Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12; Luke 4:1-13 Have you ever witnessed a new store opening? If you have you know that humans begin a new enterprise with all the hoopla, bands playing, and as much public attention as they can muster.

During Sukkot we are instructed to read Ecclesiastes, which is the English title of this wisdom book derived from the Greek Septuagint’s translation of the original Hebrew, “Koheleth.” The word Koheleth (1:1; 7:27; 12:8) suggests one who has a function as teacher or preacher in the assembly.
