Excerpts from our Weekly Newsletter
Yeshua, Jesus, came from Israel, for He was a Jew. He is the descendant of Abraham and comes from the tribe of Judah. He was born in Bethlehem, just as the prophets had foretold. He was circumcised on the eighth day. He grew up in a Jewish home, worshipped in the synagogue, celebrated the Feasts of Israel, and taught from the Hebrew Scriptures. Throughout His earthly life and ministry, He lived as a Jew among His own people.
Paul’s conscience is clear, not because he trusts his own feelings, but because his conscience stands in harmony with Messiah and under the testimony of the Holy Spirit.
Humanly speaking, a prophecy about the establishment of the Davidic throne seems almost impossible… Yet what is impossible for man is certain for God.
Amos embodies both the people’s cry and God’s cry, reflecting His persistent desire to bring His people and all people back to Him.
The first extra “vav” appears in Moses’s prophecy of Israel’s suffering, dispersion, and eventual restoration in Leviticus 26. After describing severe judgment, the prophecy concludes with the encouraging words, “Then I will remember My covenant with Jacob” (Leviticus 26:42).

This is precisely what we read in Psalms 83, where a confederation of nations declares, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
There is something deeply mysterious about this prophecy, and we begin to see it only when we place Amos’ words alongside those of the other prophets.
There is something uniquely urgent about Amos. Its message seems to step out of the ancient world and stand directly in today’s headlines.
Slander is not merely a sin; it is described in strong terms in Scripture. It is considered an abomination. Proverbs identifies several forms of harmful speech among what God hates, including a lying tongue, a false witness, and one who sows discord among others.
The repetition of the number “12,000” is deliberate. It underscores both God’s order and faithfulness in preserving Israel, tribe by tribe, for His appointed plan.
In the end, what truly matters is our eternal destiny, and the Messiah assures us that all who put their faith in Him will be saved.
We observe that the False Prophet performs two special miracles. We understand that he did many more, but these two are specifically mentioned. The second…
In the entire book of Revelation, the word therion, meaning “beast,” is used 38 times, either for the Antichrist, the False Prophet, or the false religious system that will soon rise over this earth; it always points back to their true nature.
