John 8:4-6: “They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote
II Chronicles: 33:12: “And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,” This morning I was reading in the Talmud Sanhedrin 101 a-b. Just to digress, I once paid a visit to a pastor friend of mine in his
Proverbs 8:17: “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” This is a little odd in the Hebrew. “I love them” is in an imperfect form, hence it should correctly be rendered as I will love them. Of course no one will translate it that way because the following words are that love
Hosea 14:9: “Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.” The Talmud teaches that the Torah is comprised of two aspects – spirit and matter, revelation and concealment, the Tree of Life and the Tree of
Ezekiel 39:25, 29: (25)”Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Now will I bring the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name.” (29) “Neither will I hide my face anymore from them, for I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of

Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomin: John 8:32: “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” I used to love to have arguments –uh, discussions with my Jehovah Witness friends.

WORD STUDY – AGREEMENT Matthew 18:19-20: “Again I say unto you that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in
Psalm 51:10: “Create in me a clean heart, O’God and renew a right spirit within me.” Rabbi Cohen, an orthodox Jewish rabbi, showed me a special room in his house. It was filled with books, all books about God. Commentaries on the Torah, the Talmud, the Mishnah. I remember how he picked up one book
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomin: II Kings 2:13: “He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.” I have always been fascinated by the concept of passing a mantle. Now that I read this passage I discover
