Idioms and Cultural Sayings When we look at scripture, we readily affirm that idioms and cultural sayings are frequently used and can even have prophetical significance. For instance, the fig tree starting to bloom is an idiom for Israel and the Jews returning to the land. In that day looks prophetically forward to when Messiah… Continue reading Idioms and The Imminent Return of Yeshua

Yahweh’s Many Living Souls
Many ask the question “Did God really create everything out of nothing?” And the answer is both yes and no! Yes, there are some things that Elohim simply speaks into being, and other things that he builds, plants, or forms out of things that he has previously spoken into being. There are three main words… Continue reading Yahweh’s Many Living Souls
Why We Should Celebrate the Moedim
Many people wrongly assume that the Moedim are Jewish or Israeli feasts, and are no longer relevant today. They could not be more mistaken if they tried - the moedim are Yahweh’s Divine Appointments. Whose Celebrations Are They? Exodus 31:13, Leviticus 23:14-31, etc. – “You are to observe my Shabbats; for this is a sign… Continue reading Why We Should Celebrate the Moedim
Writing In The Dust
Updated April 8, 2025 John 8:3-9 “The P’rushim and the Torah-teachers brought in a woman who had been caught committing adultery and made her stand in the center of the group. Then they said to him, “Rabbi, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in our Torah, Moshe commanded that… Continue reading Writing In The Dust
The Final Moedim of Yahweh – Fulfilled by Yeshua’s Second Coming
Yahweh established seven moedim (Divine Appointments, Seasons, or Feasts) which are both prophetic in nature and which are to be dress rehearsals until the actual fulfillment of each moed. The prophetical pattern represented by the Moedim of Yahweh is: death, burial, resurrection, giving of the spirit, rapture, judgment, millennial reign. The moedim pattern clearly points… Continue reading The Final Moedim of Yahweh – Fulfilled by Yeshua’s Second Coming
For Such A Time As This
Esther 4:14 – “Who knows whether you came [to life] precisely for such a time as this.” [Paraphrase] Every person living today was born to this time – not thousands of years ago, not centuries ago, – but at this time. Every person living today was born to this time for a purpose. Known Before… Continue reading For Such A Time As This
Yahweh’s Name is Not The LORD Revisited
The LORD Is Not My Name Exodus 20:7 – “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your Elohim in vain . . .” The name, Yahweh, has been edited out of most modern translations. Scripture uses the Hebrew word YHWH [יַהְוֶה H3068] in 5,911 verses in the King James, 5,897 verses in the NASB,… Continue reading Yahweh’s Name is Not The LORD Revisited
Abolish or Fulfill Revisited
Matthew 5:17-18 – “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” Many have quoted this verse to back up their claim that the Older Covenant has been superceded by the Newer Covenant and all law has been completed… Continue reading Abolish or Fulfill Revisited
Honoring YHWH Correctly 2
Deuteronomy 6:4 – “Shema Yisra’el, Yahweh Elohiym, Yahweh echad!” This verse is traditionally translated “Hear O Israel, the LORD our God, is one”. The word translated “Hear” is the Hebrew word Shema. The words translated “the LORD” are actually the proper name of God, YHWH in Hebrew (i.e. Yahweh). The word translated “God” is Elohiym… Continue reading Honoring YHWH Correctly 2
The Shroud of Turin
Leviticus 19:15 – “A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” All truth must be witnessed by two or more witnesses. All of Yeshua’s miracles were witnessed by two or more witnesses except his resurrection which took place inside the burial tomb whose opening was sealed by the large stone. Miracles… Continue reading The Shroud of Turin
Shadows Of Yeshua’s Cross
Scripture gives us many parallels, patterns, pictures, and types, examples, or shadows of Yeshua's cross.

Yeshua in Every Bible Book
Yeshua can be found in every book of the Bible. Matthew 21:16 - Yeshua said, "Haven’t you ever read, ‘From the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise for yourself’?” Thank you to those who sent the link to me. May Yeshua bless everyone who watches this awesome video.
The Prophecy Patterns

Included in those patterns are: • The Creation Prophecy – the… Continue reading The Prophecy Patterns

The Origin Of The Word Translated “Rapture” 1 Thessalonians 4:17 – “Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with the resurrected dead in Yeshua in the clouds to meet Yeshua in the air, and so we will always be with him.” One can continue to be obstinate and declare that… Continue reading The Rapture – Part One – Rapture Definitions
The Rapture – Part Three – A Witnessed Rapture
The Importance of a Witnessed Rapture Why is it important that the rapture be witnessed? The witnessed rapture brings glory to Yahweh whereas an instant disappearing rapture allows Satan to steal glory that only belongs to Yahweh / Yeshua. Let’s examine how that works. Proving the Prophecies – Advance Notice of Rapture Enoch and Elijah… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Three – A Witnessed Rapture
The Rapture – Part Ten – The Integral Part of Horses
The Integral Part of Horses in the Rapture Scripture is filled with narratives about horses and chariots, but few have ever realized that horses may play an integral part in the Rapture of the Bride of Yeshua.

The Rapture – Part Fourteen – Advance Notices
Advance Notices Are The Norm Personal Advance Notices Will there be a personal ‘Advance Notice’ on The Rapture for the Bride of Yeshua? Surely you jest. Didn’t Yeshua say of that “day and hour no one knows”?

Alton Ragan – The Dead Rise First

The Rapture – Part Eighteen – No One Knows The Day or Hour
Over the past several years we have taken a look at several Hebrew idioms to better understand the scriptures. In 2014 we discovered that the “heavens” refers to governments and rulers, and “earth” refers to the nations or peoples, most specifically to Israel’s leaders and people. We also discovered that the “sea” and “land” again… Continue reading The Rapture – Part Eighteen – No One Knows The Day or Hour
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].

Parallels, patterns, pictures, and types are the backbone of scripture, which informs us that prophetic patterns are cyclical: what has happened in the… Continue reading Biblical Patterns Set the Stage Part 1
Yahweh’s Believe It Or Not

You Do Not Know The Day and Hour

Whose Wrath
John 5:22 – “The Father judges no man, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son.” Luke 4:21 – “Today, as you heard it read, this passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled.” The word judges is the Greek word krino [κρίνω G2919] which means to decide, try, condemn, punish, avenge, or judge. There is NO… Continue reading Whose Wrath
