Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Exodus 34:14: “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” There are really only two words in the Hebrew for worship. One is ‘atsab’ which is used only once for worship and has the idea of sorrow. The word “‘abad”
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar’ John 6:37: “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” Ok, I am back to Hebrew idioms. I remember as a child I drew a lot of comfort from this verse. I accepted the Lord
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Luke 7:33-35: “For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He hath a devil.

When someone
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Jeremiah 17:7: “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose trust is the Lord.” This is a very difficult passage to translate. You have the word “trust” (betach) used two times. The word “betach” has a large range of use. There is also the use of the
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Psalms 119:145: “I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes.” As many of you know Psalms 119 is a poem written in an acrostic style. You will notice that this Psalm has 176 verses divided into 22 sections with eight verses each. You
