Exodus 20:17: “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbor’s.” For you King James only people I just want to assure you that it is ok to substitute
Isaiah 55:6b “…call ye upon Him while He is near.” Ok, I am still meditating on Isaiah 55:6 and this idea of calling on God while He is near. I would like to examine this phrase from a pre-Masoretic understanding which would give a little different twist to this verse from I have offered
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 21:20: “Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
Isaiah 55:6: Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.” Yesterday I had one of those “Oh Lord, Oh Lord” days. So I decided to continue my study in Isaiah 55:6 as I felt there was another face to Torah here. If you are a
Isaiah 55:6: “Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon Him while He is near.” This is a wonderful verse used to entice people to accept the Lord as their Savior. I grew up in an evangelistic church and heard this verse quoted over and over to convey the truth that

Yesterday my study partner and I decided to take a break from the esoteric world of Hebrew and saw a movie. Unfortunately, I still
Exodus 31:18: “And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.” “Man is not complete until he is married, then he is finished.” Rough translation from Jewish literature I was
Exodus 27:20, “And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.” Yesterday, I was starting to come down with a cold. My nose was constantly running. I met with my study partner who immediately pulled out
Isaiah 53:5: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” He was wounded for our transgressions. I find the word wounded to be interesting. There is kind of a play on words. The
Isaiah 52:9-10: “Break forth in joy, sing together ye waste places in Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has made bare his arm in the eyes of the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of the Lord.” “Do you
