HOW YOU CAN BE READY
First, we must recognize the wrong things in our lives and make them right. If we've harmed someone, we should make amends. And while Yahweh doesn't require us to overcome all of our bad habits before He will accept us, He does want us to acknowledge them and put ourselves on the side of overcoming them. The Bible calls this "repentance… Continue

Now that I have described some of the attributes of the beast/Empire/Kingdom in this book, I would like to touch on a few other things. Let us talk about 666 so called code in the Bible, which is referred to as the “mark of the beast.” Most people believe this to be some kind of chip implant in the skin that would allow the Anti-Messiah to impose some kind of monetary control on us.

There are many variations on how the blessing is made. The most common custom is for the father to put his hands on the child's head and recite the blessing.

In some homes the mother gives the blessing together with the father, in other homes the mother gives the blessin… Continue

SOME MYTHS IN CHURCHIANITY
Frequently, a myth can be based on a verse or two, but usually the verses are taken out of context or deliberately misinterpreted. Sometimes a myth is created from someone's opinion of what the Scripture says rather than from the Scripture itself. A myth is taken for truth simply because it is heard so often.
We try here to debunk these myths by going right… Continue

Contrary to myth of Jewish passivity, many Jews did fight back during the Holocaust.

Head Coverings for Men
Some claim it is only tradition dictated by the Talmud or Jewish tradition. Others believe that it is permitted-if not commanded by Yahweh for men to be covered in prayer and worship.

Polygamy in Ancient Israel - The Statistics Speak For Themselves.
It is impossible for the modern Christian to comprehend how universal polygamy was in ancient Israel. The census reports in Numbers prove its pervasiveness. In 3:40-43 we are told that there were 22,273 firstborn sons: meaning 22,273 families (since a family cannot have more than one firstborn son). In 1:46 we are told that there were over 600,000 fighting men. If you divide 22,000 into 600,000, you get 28. The average Israelite family had 28 sons, not including daughters. Only polygamy can a

LET THE LEADERS SPEAK!:
YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH (Jesus the Messiah) -
"Think NOT that I am come to weaken, or destroy the Torah, or Neviim: I have not come to weaken, or destroy, but to completely reveal it in its intended fullness"
Mattityahu/Matthew 5:17
APOSTLE SHAUL / PAUL -
"Do we then make void the Torah through faith? Yahweh forbid: actually we establish the Torah."
Romiyah/Romans 3:31
“the carnal mind is enmity against Yahweh: for it is not subject to the Torah of YHWH, neither indeed can be.”
Romans 8:7
"Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because the falling away is to come first, and the man of Torah-less-ness be revealed, the son of destruction."
2 Thess. 2:3
“Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Torah, to preaching and to teaching.”
1 Timothy 4:13
"For it is not merely the hearers of Torah whom Yahweh considers righteous; rather, it is the doers of what Torah says who will be made righteous in Yahweh’s sight."
Rom. 2:13
"So the Torah is kodosh/holy; that is, the commandment is kodosh, just and good."
Rom. 7:12
"For we know that the Torah is of the Spirit; but as for me, I am bound to the old nature, sold to sin as a slave."
Rom. 7:14
"For in my inner self I completely agree with (Gr. sunedomai, lit. “delight in”) Yahweh's Torah."
Rom. 7:22
"For Moshiach/Christ is the end (Gr. telos, “goal,” not “termination point”) of the Torah for righteousness to everyone who believes."
Rom. 10:4, NKJV
"Therefore the Torah was our tutor to bring us to Moshiach that we might be justified by faith."
Gal. 3:24, NKJV
"We know that the Torah is good, provided one uses it in the way the Torah itself intends. . . "
1 Ti. 1:8
"All Scripture (including the Torah) is given by inspiration of Yahweh, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of Yahweh may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2 Ti. 3:16-17, NKJV
"Here is the patience of the "set-apart ones": here are they that keep the commandments of Yahweh, and the faith of Yahushua"
Rev. 14:12
YOCHANAN / JOHN -

Yochanan Alef/1 John 3: 4
"He who says I know Him and does not guard His Torah, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him."
Yochanan Alef/1 John 2:3-7
FOR CHRISTIANS:
YAAKOV / JAMES -
"...be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger... lay aside all filthiness...receive with meekness the engrafted Torah, which is able to save your beings...be doers of the Torah, and not hearers only deceiving yourselves."
Yaakov/James 1:19-22
"Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant"
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 56:6
"For I give you tov teaching, forsake not my Torah"
Prov. 4:2
"The Torah of the wise is a fountain of life..."
Prov. 13:14

Jer. 6:16
REASONS TO STUDY OUR JEWISH ROOTS - THE HISTORICAL BEGINNINGS OF CHRISTIANITY
"If you belong to Messiah, then you are Abraham's seed" (Gal. 3:29).
"The writers [of the Bible] are Hebrew, the culture is Hebrew, the religion is Hebrew, the traditions are Hebrew, and the concepts are Hebrew." -- David Bivin / Dr. Roy Blizzard, Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus, pg. 22.
"Without the intimate knowledge of Hebrew and rabbinic sources contemporary with the time of Jesus (Yahushua), it is impossible to fully understand the sayings of Jesus (Yahushua), ." -- Bivin, Jerusalem Perspective, no. 6, March 1988.
"The Church is burdened with an unresolved identity problem. Sadly, most Christians are unaware that a problem exists. Yet many illnesses of the Church, both past and present, are a result of our not knowing who we are in Jesus (Yahushua), ."
-- Bivin, Yavo Digest, vol. 1, no. 1.
"Jesus' (Yahushua's), teachings are exclusively within Jewish values and teachings. Modern Christianity . . . does not adhere to many of Jesus' (Yahushua's) original teachings . . . Early Christianity was an integral part of Judaism of the period. Jesus(Yahushua), . . . never intended to either abandon Judaism, or to create a new religion. The creation of the independent "Christian Church" outside the framework of Judaism took place many years later by those who neither knew the man Jesus (Yahushua), nor the meanings of His difficult native Hebrew." -- Opher Segal, YD, vol. 5, no. 6.
"When we miss the parables in the richness of their Jewish culture, we miss Jesus (Yahushua), and His powerful message." -- Blizzard, YD, vol. 5, no.4.
"Most of the difficult passages or problems confronted in New Testament (Brit Chadashah) studies could be solved through a knowledge of Rabbinic Literature." -- Bivin/Blizzard, Understanding ... pg. 70.
"You do not have to be Jewish to be nourished by Jesus' (Yahushua's), bread, but to become a New Testament (Brit Chadashah) scholar it is essential to acquire a sound knowledge of ancient Judaism. . . . There is no need to fear Jesus' (Yahushua's) Jewishness." -- Prof. David Flusser, (Hebrew University, Jerusalem), JP, vol. 2, no. 9, 1989.
"The basic premises of Western philosophy are derived from the Greek rather than the Hebraic thinking."
-- Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Man, pg. 24.
"While the Greeks studied to comprehend, and western thinkers study to apply their knowledge in a practical sense, the ancient Hebrews studied to revere." -- Dr. Brad Young, YD, vol. 5, no. 6, paraphrasing Heschel.
"Where else did a divine idea sanctify history? Where else did a history of a people become sacred scripture?" -- Heschel, pg. 231
"The idea of the holiness of an entire people, Israel as a holy people, is without parallel in human history." -- Heschel, pg. 245
"The authors of God's (Yahweh's) Word--virtually every one of them a Jew-- have a profoundly Hebraic perspective on life and the world. If we are to interpret the Bible correctly, we must become attuned to this Hebraic setting in the ancient Near East." -- Dr. Marvin Wilson, Our Father Abraham, pg. 9
"For a Gentile to have a right relation to God (Yahweh) he must humbly accept and appreciate a Jewish Book, believe in a Jewish Master and be grafted into a Jewish people, thereby taking on their likeness through a commonly shared stock." -- Wilson, pg. 16
"From Paul's (Shaul's) time until the present, the church (Assembly) has tended to view its existence independently of Israel. . . . In Paul's (Shaul's) view any church (Assembly) which exists independently of Israel ceases therein to be the church (Assembly) as a part of God's (Yahweh's) salvation plan and becomes simply another religious society."-- Wilson, pg. 15, quote from D. Johnson, "The Structure and Meaning of Romans 11," Catholic Biblical Quarterly 46 (1984): 100.
"When the early Church (Assembly) gradually moved from Jerusalem to the West, many of the Roman converts who became church (Assembly)leaders retained certain of their pagan cultural practices. As a result, the Roman leaders interpreted the Hebrew Scripture in the light of their Greek background, imposing on the biblical text a non-Hebraic interpretive scheme. This had the effect of foisting incorrect information into the Church's (Assembly)theology concerning God's (Yahweh's) Law, information that was actually irreconcilable with the Word of God (Yahweh) as taught by Jesus (Yahushua), and Paul (Shaul)."
-- Dr. Ron Moseley, Yeshua: A Guide to the Real Jesus and the Original Church, 1996, pg. 39
"The Pharisees were not the stuffy conservatives depicted in so many Christian circles. They were a progressive movement, organized among the grassroots and dedicated to spreading the holiness of God (Yahweh) to the people of the Land... Thus we see that the concept of the priesthood of the believer was not unique to Christianity; it had its roots in Pharisaic Judaism."-- Ken Hanson, YD, vol. 2, no. 4 (pre doctoral)
