Hebrew Time
And God said, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and for years. And let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it…

But He said this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do. John 6:6 Test – Let’s see. I’m not to test God. That’s an insult to His sovereignty. But God can test me. He did so with Abraham. Here Yeshua tests Philip. The Greek is peirazo, a verb that means…

“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My word?” John 5:46-47 His Writings – What is the plain sense of Yeshua’s statement? If you believe what Moses wrote, you would believe what I am saying, but…

O Israel, you are destroyed, but your help is in Me! Hosea 13:9 Help – One of the most important themes of Scripture is the sovereignty over the history of men. This is a significant part of the Exodus drama. The prophets consistently proclaim God’s total control of the affairs of all men, righteous or…

Fallen Fences
O Israel, you are destroyed, but your help is in Me! Hosea 13:9 Destroyed – How is Israel destroyed? Hosea cries out on God’s behalf. The word used is šāḥat. Maybe you have some battle scenes in mind. Maybe you think of collapsed buildings and sacked villages. But if you read this word in Hebrew, some…

Back To Deuteronomy
“I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.” John 8:26 I Heard From Him – Read the verse again. Then ask yourself, “How would I understand this verse if I were…
