Honoring YHWH Correctly
As we discovered last week in our Pronouncing YHWH Correctly article on the Third Commandment, the proper spelling and pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton is Yahweh. Throughout this article, Yahweh will be used wherever scripture uses YHWH. The Wedding Vows The first seventeen verses of Exodus Chapter 20 give us what is commonly known as the… Continue reading Honoring YHWH Correctly
Pronouncing YHWH Correctly
Recently I have been criticized about my use of Yahweh for the name of our Heavenly Father, so did a deep dive into why so many also use this spelling for his name, and why some still object. Using the Greek or English Vowels of Revelation One of the suggestions, or should I say demands,… Continue reading Pronouncing YHWH Correctly
You Have Heard It Said – Part Three

Christmas 2022
Christmas is Not a Biblical Holy Day No doubt many will be upset by this article as Christmas is one of their favorite holidays.

The Worm That Never Dies
Two years ago we looked at some Hebrew words that are translated worm, and determined that Yeshua called himself a specific type of worm, a tola worm [H8439].

Choose Your Consequences
This article may seem a little blunt to some, so let me start by stating a Biblical principle and patterns, then asking a couple of questions.

Yeshua’s Powerful Blood
Many do not understand that sin did not originate in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. True, Eve was deceived and began to “be like God”. Her first sin was in misquoting Yahweh’s words to Adam (Genesis 3:2). Next, she takes it on her own authority to proclaim that the fruit is “good”… Continue reading Yeshua’s Powerful Blood

Halloween Reminder
Reminder: Halloween is a stench in Yahweh's Nostrils Jeremiah 5:21 -- "Hear now this, O stupid, brainless people who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not."

We also discovered that the “sea” and “land” again… Continue reading You Do Not Know
