Blood Moons, Blood Baths and Bloody Nonsense
I am no stranger to controversy, so I might as well jump in again. Today I received a note from a reader concerned that several “big names” in the religious world are endorsing, even encouraging, the “Blood Moon” prophecies. I know that my previous edition on this caused some people to attempt to defend Mark…

And Agrippa replied to Paul, “In a short time you will persuade me to become a Christian.” Acts 26:28 NASB Christian – So here it is. That famous verse used by Christian apologists to claim that Paul’s message was the Christian gospel intended to convert both Jew and Gentile into the Church. What could be…
The Most Confusing Name on Earth (Corrected)
Our faithful reader, Brett R., pointed out that I (yes, even I) missed the complete Paleo-Hebraic spelling of the name. Here is my correction (in case you’re keeping track). Thanks, Brett. And God said to Moses, “I AM THAT I AM;” and he said, “Thus shall you say to Israel, I AM has sent me…
One in a Million
rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, Acts 26:17 NASB Rescuing – Imagine yourself to be Paul standing before Agrippa. You are giving a defense of your Messianic beliefs. You begin with a description of your past affiliation with the Pharisees, your zealous commitment to the…
PHOENIX IN JULY
Yes, I know. Phoenix in July is hot as _____. But that’s all the more reason to find some spiritual drink in the desert. So there will be a conference in Phoenix in July. July 17 and 18. And some really interesting things to talk about–like what Paleo-Hebrew teaches us about the The Ten Commandments…

The Most Confusing Name on Earth
And God said to Moses, “I AM THAT I AM;” and he said, “Thus shall you say to Israel, I AM has sent me to you.” Exodus 3:14 Hebrew World translation I AM THAT I AM – It is fairly well understood that “God” is not the name of the Hebrew deity. “God” is more or…
Kingdom Announcement (Again)
Thy kingdom come Matthew 6:10 Come – We know that God’s Kingdom is not a physical place. The Greek word basileia is about reign and rule, not palaces and courtyards. God’s Kingdom is revealed wherever His servants and citizens live according to His government. But what does it mean to pray, “Your Kingdom come?” Hasn’t it already arrived when we…
The Creation of Theology
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV Think about such things – I have often pointed out that Judaism does not have a systematic theology. Christianity certainly does, but…
