I waited, waited for YHWH; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry. Psalm 40:2 (Hebrew Text) Inclined – Natah. Nun-Tet-Hey. That’s how you spell this Hebrew verb. The picture? What is revealed (what comes) from life surrounded. Actually, the pictures are fish darting through water (life activity) and a snake coiled around something (surround). OK? So, consider this imagery and…
He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. Colossians 2:15 ESV Triumphing over – In the past few days, and over the last month or so, we have explored the meaning of the cross from a Hebrew perspective. Despite the popular claim that “Jesus” died…
James is perhaps the most practical of any book in the New Testament. As the leader of a Messianic assembly, James is concerned about the behavior of those under his care and his writing reflects his direct approach toward issues within the community.

Today I will be traveling to Israel where I will be for 3 weeks, then on to Spain, then Greece and finally home 6 weeks from now. As you can imagine, writing Today’s Word every day while putting in these kind of miles is a bit daunting. So, here is an official “rewind,” a TW…
She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21 ESV Will save – Is salvation proleptic? Ah, what a great word! You might have to look it up, but just in case you don’t have time, “prolepsis” means “the representation of…
If any one thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment. 1 Corinthians 14:37 NASB Prophet – Who thinks he is a prophet? It seems like an odd question, doesn’t it? Paul doesn’t ask, “Who is recognized as a prophet among…
