2.2.2024

Let us take a look at the name Yahuah, but more in depth at the name Yahusha. There is a well-known saying among the modern generations: "Haters gotta hate", and few manifest hatred as well as those who hate the Sacred Names. If you agree that there is in fact a name set forth in scripture f... Read More

The Book of Jasher | The Veracity of the Cepher Yashar

9.7.2023

There are those who flat-footedly declare the book of Jasher to be fake, claiming that the book was somehow reverse engineered, using Bible texts that appear to quote from it (and the examples are set forth herein) as just the opposite – that the writer(s) of Yashar somehow quoted the ...

Genetics in Scripture

6.11.2023

As my studies continue, I find the correlation between scripture and the revelation of the science of genetics to be astounding.

Mishkan - The Pattern of the Tabernacle

10.28.2022

Much of the discussion in the prophetic community today concerns the ominous idea of a third temple being built - that somehow the sealed and cryptic prophecies of Daniy'el might come to be revealed in our time.

The Testimonies of An'chi

10.21.2022

For the first time, the name title of An'chi shall be raised among you - different from the understanding given by the Masoretes all of those decades ago, and more illustrative than the English interpreters have cared to admit.

The Latter Days – what are they? When are they? What do the prophecies spell for mankind? Is the consistent promise of Yahuah Elohiym present in all of these prophecies?

There are many paths a person may take in this life. Sometimes we chose wisely - sometimes we aren't given a choice, but our path is handed to us by another.

Make you a Seraph

5.6.2022

Mosheh (Moses) seemed to be at odds with Yahuah - arguing with him about whether he was called to lead the house of Yashar'el (Israel) out of Mitsrayim (Egypt) and into the promised land, striking the rock twice and so on.

As discussed previously, we at the Eth Cepher hold to the proposition that the Brit Chadasha was conceived initially in the Ivriyt, and for whatever reason, translated into the Greek and the Aramaic. We are going to take a look at a couple of passages, therefore, which we read in the Engl... Read More

The Languages of the New Testament

8.23.2019

One of the assumptions we have taken at the Eth Cepher, is that all scripture was conceived in Ivriyt, which we understand in modern terms as Hebrew. There are those who disagree, claiming that the Brit Chadasha (New Testament) was breathed in Aramaic, or Greek, or even Latin. The A... Read More

The twenty-two mysteries of the New Testament (Brit Chadasha)

8.20.2019

Twenty-two times the word mystery appears in the redacted 66-book Bible, and all of these are in the New Testament only. For those who think there are no mysteries in the Bible – well, it appears that such a belief is incorrect . . . twenty-two times! Let’s take a look a... Read More

The Sumerian ENLIL

8.9.2019

Jannes and Jambres and the Cepher of Yashar (Jasher)

8.7.2019

The Book of Jubilees and Luke 3 – Yovheliym is an inspired book!

7.12.2019

For those of you who continue to espouse the notion that Yovheliym (Jubilees) is not an inspired work, you may have to also denounce the gospel of Luqas (Luke). Luqas (Luke) 3:35-36 Which was the son of Serug, which was the son of Re`u, which was the son of Peleg, which was the son of Ebe... Read More

Kabbalah is spiritual ignorance.

5.19.2019

Kabbalah is two-dimensional spiritual ignorance; but, as ignorant as it is, it is not as ignorant as those who claim to know about it and go on to denounce it. As Otto von Bismarck supposedly said (paraphrase): Law and sausage are two things you do not want to see being made. ... Read More

Yehovah - Examining the nikkud

5.17.2019

The Tyranny of the Noahide (Noachide) Laws (with video)

The question to address today is whether the idea of a globe is ever found in scripture. If so, where is it found, and what information can we obtain by looking at this? We begin with the Hebrew word tebel (תֵּבֵל) (Strong's H8398). This word is generally interpreted as the ea... Read More

Does Job 37:18 support a flat earth theory?

7.9.2017

We begin with the verse found in Iyov (Job): Iyov (Job) 37:18 Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? Now, let’s take a look at the Hebrew (with transliteration). Job 37:18 תרקיע (ha’raqia) עמו (imu) לשׁחקים (l&rsqu... Read More

The circle of the earth

7.6.2017

As we begin our discussion of round earth versus flat earth, one text is used to declare that the earth is disk-like rather than spheroidal.

The Circumcision and Galatiym (Galatians) 5:2

3.23.2017

One question that arises in the Christian world is the question of circumcision. Is it necessary anymore, or is it a cultish demand of antiquity? Didn’t Pa’al abolish circumcision? Let’s take a look at this issue in more depth. We begin with the question:... Read More

The Seven Names of the Holy Spirit (with video)

2.19.2017

In the Eth CEPHER, we set forth the sacred names and titles in capital letters and in transliterated form. However, there is one passage in the Cepher Yesha’yahu where the names have gone without capitalization – at least until now. Let’s take a look at that passage:... Read More

Israel, Yisra'el, or Yashar'el - Which is it? (with video)

2.16.2017

In the Eth CEPHER, we have traditionally used the word Yisra’el for the word found in the text which is spelled in the Hebrew (יִשְׂרָאֵל). However, this is soon going to change. We have elected to make this restoration in the text based on several witnesses, but let&rsquo... Read More

What is the Torah?

12.4.2016

Something further on Philippiym (Philippians) 2:11 (with video)

11.27.2016

The Prayer

8.11.2016

One of the substantial changes made in the Eth Cepher concerns the wording of a certain prayer given by MASHIACH to the talmidiym, who sought counsel as to how to pray, given that Yahuchanon the Immerser had also given a prayer to his talmidiym. The response was as follows: Mattithy... Read More

7.24.2016

We, at the Eth Cepher, have set forth the name of the Messiah (HAMASHIACH) as YAHUSHA. There are several views that are contrary to this position. First, we have those who claim the name of Jesus Christ. I will not discuss this issue in this blog. Next, we have those... Read More

Who put the “J” in Jesus?

Lost Books of the Bible: The Septuagint and MASHIACH

6.2.2016

In our studies, we have taken the position that the name of MASHIACH is YAHUSHA, and nothing other. There are many however who will argue that, no, the name is YESHUA which means salvation, or the name is YAHUSHUA or YAHOSHUA, all which reference the name (in English) Joshua. (S... Read More

6.10.2015

We have seen in our review of the remnant, that the discourses in the Besor’oth (gospels) does not appear to be favorable to this group. Let see if we can find other references: Mattithyahu (Matthew) 25:1-13 Then shall the Kingdom of YAHUAH be likened unto ten virgins, which took ... Read More

The remnant - Part One

6.9.2015

As we discuss the issue of salvation in those times of tribulation called Jacob’s trouble, the end of the age, the day of YAHUAH, and so on, many questions arise about the remnant. Who are they, how are they determined, and equally important, how many will there be? Bear in mi... Read More

The Fig Tree – Part Three

6.8.2015

Finally, and in the last instance of this discussion of the fig tree as a metaphor for the Torah, consider the instruction from the Besor’oth: Marcus (Mark) 13:4-27 Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And YAHU... Read More

The Fig Tree - Part Two

6.7.2015

As we have seen, the Fig Tree as referenced throughout Scripture, is in fact the Torah – the commandments of YAH. Let us pick up this discussion with a verse from the Song of Solomon, or, in the original title of the scroll, Shiyr Hashriym. Shiyr Hashriym 2:8-13 The voice of... Read More

The Fig Tree – Part One

6.3.2015

There is a broad discussion about the fig tree in both the Tanakh and the Brit Chadashah. Can we decipher a meaning? Shofetiym (Judges) 9:7-9 And when they told it to Yotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hea... Read More

David’s Prayer

6.1.2015

There is an interesting progenitor prayer which appears in the works of Ezra in his second witness to the cepheriym melekiym (the Books of the Kings). In the last chapter of 1 Chronicles, or as we refer to it, Divrei Hayamiym Rishon, the prayer of David is found. This is an in... Read More

Canonicity: The Council of Laodicea – Part 5

5.31.2015

The council of Laodicea (~ A.D. 363) states in cannon 29: Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from C... Read More

The mark of salvation

5.31.2015

While we're discussing this cross, also note that the stauros pendiculum is shaped like T, which is the Greek letter tau. The Greek letter tau is derived from the Paleo Hebrew letter tav, whose appearance is somewhere between an x and a t. The tav, contrary to those who claim th... Read More

Canonicity: The Council of Nicea – Part 4

5.29.2015

Contrarary to popular opinion, the Council of Nicea did not establish a canonized roster of approved books in its 20 Canons. In summary, the Council reached the following conclusions: The Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of all things visible and invisible;... Read More

Canonicity: The Synod of Jamnia – Part 3

5.28.2015

The canonized version of the Old Testament used by Catholics is based on the "Septuagint" (also called "LXX" or "The Seventy") which came into being around 280 B.C. as a translation of then existing texts from Hebrew into Greek by 70 Jewish scribes (the Torah was translated first, around 30...

Canonicity: The Ethiopic Bible – Part 2

5.27.2015

The oldest known collection of writings which were gathered into Old and New Testaments is a work identified as the Ethiopic Bible (second century, AD). The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has 46 books of the Old Testament and 35 books of the New Testament that will bring the total of canonized b... Read More

Canonicity: The Septuagint – Part 1

5.26.2015

We begin our review of those books that were considered to be sacred within the first collection of books (cepheriym in the Hebrew) to be gathered by Hebrew scholars. This gathering of this collection occurred because the leader of Egypt, a certain Ptolemy Philadephus, commissioned se... Read More

More on the word Cepher

5.22.2015

From the Brit Chadashah, let’s take a look at one particular verse, where (when translated into Hebrew) the word cepher appears three times: B’zoth ha’chokmah, mi sha’binah yachashev m’cepher ha’chayeah kee m’cepher adam hu v’m’cep... Read More

Cepharad – People of the numbered writing

5.21.2015

Continuing with our discussion of the Cepharad, the migration of the house of Zarra can be traced by the markings of the Red Hand – signifying the hand that was tied with the scarlet thread, saying “this one came out first.” Whereas, the house of Judah in the east wo... Read More

Cepher and Cepharad

5.20.2015

Continuing with this subject of the word cepher, we must discuss one more derivative: Obedyahu (Obadiah) 1:20-21 And the captivity of this host of the children of Yisra’el shall possess that of the Kena’aniiym, even unto Tsarephath; and the captivity of Yerushalayim, which i... Read More

The name: Eth Cepher

5.19.2015

We have named our book the Eth Cepher. This word cepher has so many implications; let’s take the time to explore them a bit. The word cepher has as its root the word caphar (’סָפר saw-far). This is the three letter primitive root, and it means to score with a mark ... Read More

The Red Sea

5.8.2015

Recently, I was asked the question as to our use of the phrase “Red Sea” versus the phrase “Reed Sea,” and whether or not this was a notorious error found within other English interpretations. This answer is not as simple as you might expect, but holds with it ... Read More

Chuppah? Kippah? Kobah? The question continues…

5.6.2015

The practice of modern Judaism requires the wearing of the kippah (הָּכִּפ‎) to fulfill the customary requirement held by orthodox halachic authorities that the head be covered at all times. The kippah is a hemispherical cap, usually made of cloth, worn by Jewish men and, less f... Read More

Hat? Or no Hat? That is the question.

5.5.2015

A question that arises often within the faith community concerns the issue of the head covering for men. Let’s take a look at the issue: Qorintiym Ri’shon (1 Cor.) 11:1-10 Be ye followers of me [Sha’ul], even as I also am of HAMASHIACH. 2 Now I praise you, ... Read More

The Sapphire Stones and the Decalogue

5.1.2015

One of the great assumptions in the minds of the believers is that the Ten Commandments were given on two concrete-like tombstones, and were brought down from Mount Sinai by Charleton Heston who then tossed them while screaming “those who shall not live by the law, shall die by the ... Read More

The war to come – the confederacy of ten horns

4.19.2015

Chizayon (Revelation) 13:1-3 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were ... Read More

The war to come – the confederacy arises!

4.17.2015

First, let us consider that the many nations in the Middle East are now entering into conditions of escalation in open conflict otherwise not seen before. The so-called Arab Spring of 2011, which actually began in the winter in 2010, has resulted in complete turmoil for the nations ... Read More

The mark, the name, and the number – Part Two (with 2 videos)

4.16.2015

This passage in Chizayon (Revelation) 18 gets even more interesting when you consider it in light of the preceding verse: Chizayon (Revelation) 13:16-18 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 1...

The mark, the name, and the number – Part One (with 2 videos)

4.15.2015

Recently, I have received a question as to the “symbol” which appears in Chizayon (Revelation) 13:18. Let’s take a look at the verse in question: Chizayon (Revelation) 13:18: Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding calculate the number of the beast: ... Read More

The Blood Moons: Part Four – The Words of Mashiach

4.10.2015

Let’s finish this discussion about the stones of fire to see if we can reveal the meaning of the words of Mashiach: Mattithyahu (Matthew) 3:7-9 But when he saw many of the Parashiym and Tsadoqiym come to his immersion, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warne... Read More

The Blood Moons: Part Three – The Counterfeiter

4.9.2015

Enter the counterfeiter – he clusters himself with some of the stones in an imitation of the priesthood, yet it is incomplete. Yekhezq’el (Ezekiel) 28:11-19 Moreover the Word of YAHUAH came unto me, saying, 12 son of Adam, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tsor, and say... Read More

The Blood Moons: Part Two – The Twelve Stones of Fire

4.8.2015

Now again, we have the instruction concerning the gathering of twelve stones. Devariym (Deuteronomy) 27:1-4 And Mosheh with the elders of Yisra’el commanded את eth-the people, saying, Guard את eth-all the commandments which I command you this day. 2 And it shall be... Read More

The Blood Moons: Part One - The Breastplate of Judgment

4.7.2015

Mark Biltz’s discovery of the timing of the lunar eclipses on biblical feast days is an important one. Although the question of when and the prophecy’s applicability to modern prophecy is much discussed, the meaning of the eclipses – and in particular the sequences w... Read More

The timing of the Crucifixion

4.2.2015

Let’s review the timing of the Pecach. This begins on the 14th day of the month in the evening. Of course, on YAH’s calendar, the day always begins at sundown. Let’s review the fundamentals: Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 1:14 And ELOHIYM said, Let there... Read More

The timing of Pecach (Passover)

4.1.2015

A question continues to arise as to the timing of the moed called Passover or Pecach. Any time the issue of the calendar arises, so many challenges are raised as to the calculation of the day. One commentator has gone so far as to say that the establishment of the calendar can o... Read More

Understanding Prophecy

3.31.2015

If, as a pastor or disciple of sacred scripture, a decision has been made to actually study prophecy, there may be many other questions as to how to go about obtaining the best understanding of prophecy. We begin then with the following understanding: Devariym (Deuteronomy) 29:29 ... Read More

The Private Interpretation of Prophecy

3.30.2015

Kepha Sheniy (2 Peter) 1:20 It is written that knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. This phrase is certainly worthy of discussion. Pursuant to this phrase, no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. This rules ... Read More

The Study of Prophecy

3.29.2015

The Barna Research Group discovered in the year 2003 that 98% of those who call themselves Christians in the United States and 96% of their pastors do not believe that prophecy is worth knowing or studying. Why should we read prophecy, if it always results in divergent opinion?&... Read More

Romaiym 7 – What is Sha’ul actually saying? Part 2

3.27.2015

Let us continue to peruse the writing in Romaiym (Romans) 7. From verse 2 through verse 6, given the context of the discussion, we have elected to replace the word law, typically used in place of the Greek nomos, with the word mitzvah, meaning a singular command. Romaiym (... Read More

Romaiym 7 – What is Sha’ul actually saying? Part 1

3.26.2015

We often wrestle with the words we find in the Greek Stephanus Textus Receptus, particularly when reviewing the writings in the epistles. Sha’ul (Paul) can prove to be very difficult. For instance, let’s take a walk through Romaiym 7. In this chapter, we foun... Read More

Who is Midyan?

3.22.2015

It is worth our time here to consider the slaughter of Midyan, is it not? Who is Midyan, and when did this slaughter occur? Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 25:1-2 And again Avraham took a woman, and her name was Qeturah. 2 And she bore him את eth-Zimran, and את eth-Yoqshan, ... Read More

The duration of the ministry of HAMASHIACH

3.20.2015

I have been asked the question if the ministry of the Messiah (HaMashiach) lasted about a year? The short answer is “no”. I have written about the timing of the birth and the life of YAHUSHA, which I will summarize it here. According to scripture, first conside... Read More

The Feast of Pecach (Passover)

3.19.2015

One disciple of scripture has asked a very good question concerning the timing of the crucifixion. She writes, “When Matthew 26:17, Mark 14:12, and Luke 22:1 begin speaking about the crucifixion of Yeshua, it states that it was the first day of unleavened bread. Now accord... Read More

The blessing of Leviy and Yahudah

3.15.2015

One of the most significant prophetic scriptures which have come to influence the ways of the Western World is the blessing of Ya’akov on his twelve sons found in Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 49. So many of the patterns set forth there have worked in the way foretold for all of... Read More

Daniye’l and the Return of Babylon

3.13.2015

There is a great book that was published in the 19th Century called The Two Babylons. In this book, there is a discussion that examines the question of two Babylons. Let’s see if there is scriptural support for this proposition, and what we might be able to determine. ... Read More

The King of Babel and the Repha’iym

3.12.2015

For those of you who have followed this blog for some time and have read the posts about the War to Come, we now enter into territory in our discussion of the Repha’iym which may have a current application, as the prophecy of Yesha’yahu is made manifest in our world following th... Read More

The Souls of the Giants - Part 5

3.11.2015

Again, we are talking about the last eight passages of scripture where the traditional translations have used the word dead in place of the Hebrew word Repha’iym. A few passages have been discussed already, and a few remain: Mishlei (Proverbs) 9:13-18 A foolish woman is clam... Read More

The Giants - Part 4

3.10.2015

As referenced in the last post, there are eight times when the word Repha’iym is not interpreted as giants in the preexisting English translations, Strong’s giving a second number to an identical Hebrew word to accommodate the difference. Let’s take a look at some of the o... Read More

The Giants - Part 3

3.9.2015

One of the things that has become more evident within the confines of the Eth Cepher, is the discussion of the Nephiliym, a word which appears in the Hebrew many times in the early books of Moshe (Moses) and Yahusha (Joshua). Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 6:4 There were Nephiliym in the e... Read More

The Giants - Part 2

3.6.2015

The giants referred to in Bere’shiyth, and described with more particularity in the cepher Chanoch (book of Enoch), Yovheliym (book of Jubilees), and referenced in Kepha Sheniy (2 Peter) and Yahudah (Jude), are those giants that were present before the flood, in the antediluvian perio... Read More

The Giants - Part 1

3.5.2015

It is time to crack the nut, so to speak. We begin with a passage in the cepher Chanoch (the Book of Enoch): Chanoch (Enoch) 8:1-15 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. 2 And when the Watchers, the ... Read More

The practice of Puriym (Purim)

3.4.2015

First, let us ask ourselves who are these people who should be practicing this feast of Puriym? Additions to Ecster (Esther) 5:8 There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their Torah is diverse from all peop... Read More

The wisdom of Artachshasta in Additions

3.3.2015

One of the beauties of having transliterated the text to restore the actual names is that sometimes we come up with a nearly unpronounceable transliteration. This is the case with Artachshasta, formerly known as Artaxerxes (which had eventually become pronounceable). He is the o... Read More

Observing Puriym (Purim)

3.2.2015

This coming week brings in a very interesting time – the feast of Puriym (Purim, in the traditional spelling). While there is plenty of discussion concerning this feast, the fast of Ecter (Esther), and the story of Haman, how much do we really know about Puriym? Let&rsqu... Read More

The two trees

3.1.2015

We have discussed the stauros pendiculum, the stauros being the stake fixed in the ground, and the pendiculum the cross beam which would make the tree in the shape of the Paleo Hebrew Tav, and the Greek Tau. And in looking into the prophecy of Yekhezq’el 37, we discover that t... Read More

Salvation by the blood shed on the cross

2.27.2015

As we discuss the shed blood of the lamb of YAHUAH, let us consider the full scope of the work on the cross. Yahuchanon Rishon (I John) 2:1-2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, YAHUSHA HAMASH... Read More

The Passover Lamb

2.26.2015

Let us discuss for a moment the propitiation of the work on the cross – the stauros pendiculum – and its meaning for those of us who gather under it. Vayiqra (Leviticus) 17:11 For the life (nefesh) of the flesh (basar) is in the blood (dawm): and I have given (natan) i... Read More

Retaining the word “cross”

2.24.2015

We have two words to deal with here, in regard to the controversial term, cross. In the Greek these words are stauros and stauro’o. Let’s start with the word stauro’o, which in most applications is a verb, and it is the word which is interpreted as crucify or c... Read More

Our changes in Mattithyahu (Matthew) 28:1

2.22.2015

Recently, a question has been raised concerning the translation of the verse Mattithyahu 28:1. Initially, in the first edition of the את Eth Cepher, the verse read as: In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to draw near toward the first day of the week, came Miryam of Mi... Read More

The war to come – Amoc speaks concerning Yisra’el

2.20.2015

As we continue on in the discovery of this prophecy concerning that which will befall the house of Yisra’el in the latter days, let us now review the words of Amoc. Amoc (Amos) 2:6-8 Thus says YAHUAH; For three transgressions of Yisra’el, and for four, I will not turn ... Read More

The divorce of Yisra’el

2.19.2015

As we have discussed just previously, the remarrying of a spouse who was divorced is considered an abomination under the word of YAHUAH. Let’s consider the words of Yermiyahu in regard to the house of Yisra’el. Yermiyahu (Jeremiah) 3:1 They say: If a man put away... Read More

The abominations of Yisra’el

2.18.2015

We have seen that the house of Yisra’el – Yasharon – also provoked YAHUAH to anger with abominations. Let’s take a look at this word abomination, the practice of which brings on the anger of YAH, remembering that in this case, we are talking about abominations (the... Read More

The war to come – Moshe’s warning to Yisra’el

2.17.2015

We have discussed the order of Amoc, which is rather systematic in its discourse, describing a prophecy which begins two years after the great earthquake, and when the habitation of the shepherds mourn and Karmel withers. In modernity, can we associate this with the great quake in Jap... Read More

The war to come – judgment on Yisra’el

2.13.2015

We have discussed the harbingers associated with those people who have claimed the declaration: “the bricks have fallen, we will rebuild with hewn stones;” i.e., the house if Yisra’el. Yesha’yahu had much to say about this judgment, but he is not alone. Here are th... Read More

The war to come – then comes Yahudah

2.12.2015

Of course, this is a difficult prophecy, for few in Israel wish to hear what is said here. The rabbis know, however, and the people in Tel Aviv deny, but Amoc is clear. Yahudah will not escape that which comes. Who is Yahudah? It is anomalous that Yahudah should call... Read More

The war to come – Jordan follows Edom

2.11.2015

The discussion in the Cepher Amoc concerning a nation we now call Jordan is a two-fold discussion, because Jordan is a two-fold nation; the joining of Ammon (northern Jordan) and Mo’av (southern Jordan). Therefore, two prophecies are present in Amoc. Amoc (Amos) 1:13... Read More

The circumcision of the heart

2.10.2015

What does it mean to have a circumcised heart? At the bare minimum it means not to be stiffnecked. What does it mean to be stiffnecked if it doesn’t mean refusing to hear the word of YAH? But it means even more, as at its root is the failure to fear YAHUAH, to hold him in awesom... Read More

The war to come – Edom follows Tyre

2.9.2015

As we walk through the judgments set forth in Amoc, we find that the events appear to be following in order. Karmel withered, the habitation of the shepherds mourned, the judgment comes on Damascus, then Gaza, then Tyre (Tsor), . . then Edom. Amoc (Amos) 1:11 Thus says YAHUA... Read More

John 3:16

2.8.2015

Maybe the most important passage in all scripture for those of us who cling to the tsiyttsiyt of YAHUSHA; who claim the blood of his sacrifice; who claim the propitiation of his mercy seat; and who worship the Creator in spirit and in truth, following his way, his truth and his life. ... Read More

The war to come – the house within a house

2.6.2015

As we have discussed earlier in the post The war to come – who is Babylon?, Babel has more than one meaning. Because there are two beits (Bs), we have a symbol of two houses – the house of Ba’al and the house of EL. In one instance, the house of EL is captive or ex... Read More

The war to come – the fate of the one called the Assyrian

2.5.2015

As our discourse continues on what lies ahead for the house of Yisra’el – those who have pronounced the declaration “the bricks have fallen . . .” – the prophecy of Yisha’yahu takes time to discuss a person he calls the Assyrian. Yesha’yahu (I... Read More

The war to come – his hand is stretched out still.

2.4.2015

Let us now consider the judgment that comes upon those who make the decrees within this land of Yitzra’el, which is set forth in the 10th chapter of Yesha’yahu: Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 10:1-4 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write ... Read More

The war to come – the judgment following 9/11

2.3.2015

While others have expanded on the relationship between the shemitah year and harbingers, our discussion will concentrate on the words that are found in the scriptures themselves, in order that we might come to see that which lies ahead. Each judgment of YAH is circumscribed with the... Read More

The war to come – the 9/11 prophecy

2.2.2015

The word harbinger has moved into the vernacular as a meaningful part of the conversation concerning the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, commonly known as 9-11. This word is now associated with the shemitah (sabbatical) year, or the seventh year in the cycles of years. T... Read More

The war to come – who is Babylon?

1.30.2015

We, at the Eth Cepher, refer to Babylon as Babel, which is consistent with its Hebrew name, which is spelled beit, beit, lamed (BBL). This name has its own intrinsic meaning. The letter beit is the letter which means 'the house' (and is the word for house, such as Beyt... Read More

The war to come – the second exodus

1.29.2015

An interesting discussion follows the judgment of Yisra’el in America under the Assyrian as discussed in Yesha’yahu 9 and 10. Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 11:1-9 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Yishay, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 ... Read More

The war to come – the judgment of Edom

1.28.2015

Our prophecy of the war to come as set forth in the Cepher Amoc continues: Amoc (Amos) 1:11 Thus says YAHUAH; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, a... Read More

The war to come – the former and latter rain

1.27.2015

Of course, the feast days of YAHUAH are critically important to our understanding of prophecy. Let me go so far to say that when it comes to understanding the words of the prophets, I do not believe it possible to fully comprehend these writings without adherence to the Torah of YAH... Read More

The war to come – Tyre follows Gaza

1.26.2015

Karmel has withered. Damascus has come under judgment. Gaza has come under judgment. What follows, according to Amoc? Amoc (Amos) 1:9 Thus says YAHUAH; For three transgressions of Tsor, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they deliv... Read More

The war to come – Gaza follows Damascus

1.25.2015

We have seen now that Amoc has predicted that Karmel would wither and the shepherds would mourn. After that, Damascus would come under judgment. This prophecy has unfolded before our very eyes. What follows? Amoc 1:6-8 Thus says YAHUAH; For three transgressions o... Read More

The war to come – the transgressions of Damascus

1.23.2015

Amoc gives us a specific order of events following the withering of Karmel. Don’t read ahead, or you will have a clear idea of what is coming. Let’s take it one step at a time. Amoc 1:3-5 Thus says YAHUAH; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four,... Read More

The war to come – Karmel withers

1.22.2015

We interrupt this blog post to bring you a prophecy update concerning the impending third world war. Please check your Eth Cepher to corroborate the information given here, and compare with recent world events as set forth herein. There is much discussion about an upcoming Psalm... Read More

1.21.2015

Under the law? - What did Sha’ul actually say?

1.16.2015

Shemot (Exodus) 23:7 Keep yourself far from a false matter; and the innocent (naqiy) and righteous (tsadiyq) slay you not: for I will not justify (tsadaq) the wicked. There are a couple of Hebrew words here that are worthy of consideration as we explore the writings of Sha’u... Read More

Under the law? - Three Greek Words

1.15.2015

Given that we are discussing the dominant paradigm expressed in the American 501(c)(3), federally registered, tax exempt church, let us consider the foundational rhetoric with specificity. Romayim (Romans) 3:1-17 WHAT advantage then has the Yahudiy? Or what profit is there of circ... Read More

Under the law? - The gift of the Holy Land

1.14.2015

Our covenant (brit) finds its original placement in the cepher Bere’shiyth: Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 15:17-18 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. 18 In the same ... Read More

Under the Law? - The Everlasting Covenant

1.13.2015

I asked the question in the prelude to this discussion (Three Hebrew words), "Do you not wish to be his chosen?" Consider the words of Kepha on this subject, in light of the words of David which we have previously read: Kepha Rishon (1 Peter) 2:2 As newborn babes, ... Read More

Under the law? - Three Hebrew Words

1.12.2015

Let’s crack the nut on this subject, shall we? First we need to discuss a couple of terms that may reveal a great deal on this subject. We start with the terms that are used to discuss the word law. In Hebrew, we first have the word torah, which is actually better in... Read More

Saturday, Saturn worship and Saturnalia

1.9.2015

Let's spend a little bit of time on this conversion of Sabbath to the day of Saturn worship. We will come back and discuss the keeping of Sabbath and its importance in a true walk of faith in a later blog. The idea of converting the day of YAH’s rest to the worship of Satu... Read More

The names of the week

1.8.2015

We are as we speak, are we not? It is interesting that in the modern English, we find the days of the week as Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. These days are completely and wholly inconsistent with the days set forth in scripture. Like th... Read More

The Practice of Februation among the Children of Yisra’el

1.7.2015

Some people have said that the bible teaches human sacrifice or infant sacrifice. Let’s see what is actually said. Vayiqra (Leviticus) 18:21 And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molek, neither shall you profane the name of your ELOHIYM: I am YAHUAH... Read More

Februation under the Julian calendar

1.6.2015

As we have seen, the month of February (Februarius) was named after the ritual of februation, which meant ritual purification, and for the children of Yisra’el, ritual purification by passing their children through the fires of Molech/Moloch. Before we consider the actual practice w... Read More

The months of the Julian year

1.5.2015

The Julian calendar and its successor, the Gregorian calendar, are interesting in their construction, particularly in their naming of the months and days and their order. Originally, under the Julian calendar, the year began with the month Martius. This month was followed by Aprilis (or A... Read More

Who are the Carmanians?

1.4.2015

Take a look at this enormously prophetic passage from Ezra Rishiy: Ezra Reviy’iy (4 Ezra) 5:27-30 For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth and ye shall remain in them: for ELOHIYM shall not deliver you, because ye have sinned against him. 28 Behold an horrible vision, and... Read More

Lost Books of the Bible: Baruk (Baruch) on the End Times

1.2.2015

One book which is included in the Eth Cepher and found in no other collection of sacred scripture is the cepher Baruch Sheniy. What a remarkable book and one worthy of a complete analysis. However, let us engage in a cursory review somewhere in the middle of the cepher for just ... Read More

The Circumcision of HAMASHIACH

1.1.2015

Tomorrow brings with it the first day of Gregorian New Year, an interesting calendar to say the least. Here you have a calendar based on a 12 month cycle (although 13 equal months fits very well, with 13 – 28 day months (364 days), and one month which would require an amendmen... Read More

Gog and Magog

12.31.2014

Yekhezq’el (Ezekiel) 38:1-8 AND the Word of YAHUAH came unto me, saying, 2 son of Adam, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus says ADONAI YAHUAH; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince... Read More

Magog

12.30.2014

One of the great mysteries of prophecy is the question of Gog and Magog. Let’s take a closer look and see if scripture can reveal its truth on this subject. Dvrei Hayamiym Rishon (1 Chronicles) 1:5 The sons of Yapheth יָ֫פֶת; Gimera גֹּמֶר, and Magog וּמָג֔וֹג, and Madai וּמ... Read More

The Birthright of Avraham – Part 2

12.29.2014

We have discussed the passing of the birthright from Avraham to Yitschaq, and from Yitschaq to Ya’aqov: However, is that the end of the passing of the birthright? No, it isn’t, as the blessings of Ya’akov, now Yisra’el, upon his twelve sons would come to define histo... Read More

The Birthright of Avraham – Part 1

12.28.2014

We cross over to a touchy subject, but one worthy of consideration for talmidiym of scripture. For we have heard of the ELOHIYM of Avraham, Yitschaq and Ya’aqov: Shemot (Exodus) 3:14-15 And EOHIYM said unto El-Mosheh, HAYAH ASHER HAYAH: and he said, Thus shall you say ... Read More

Chanukkah – a prayer

12.18.2014

We have learned now why the feast was held for eight days, because the Feast of Dedication under the guidance of the Makkabiym was held in accord with the former, and Shalomah held the former for eight days. Even today, the feast is eight days, as is Sukka’oth, which rounds up i... Read More

Chanukkah – the rededication of the Temple

12.17.2014

The Feast of Chanukkah (with a capital “C”) is actually established in the cepheriym of the Makkabiym – books not written at the time of the Septuagint, and so ignored by the Rabbis, and discounted therefore by the emerging Roman church in its mixed theology of blindly ado... Read More

Chanukkah – the foundation

12.16.2014

Chanukkah is a very interesting feast – a feast (as practiced) that is not mentioned in the Tanakh, but is mentioned in the Gospels, yet is practiced by the Yahudiym and not the Christians. Oh, the intrigue of it all! Providentially, we have included those scriptures... Read More

Ya’akov (James) 5 GO to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as... Read More

Holiness

12.15.2014

It is time to discuss two critical words: righteousness and holiness. As you may have read before in these blogs, I have covered the word righteous and righteousness to some degree. However, the word holiness is a different word. Whereas in the Hebrew, the word righteous i... Read More

The Fractal of Elohiym

The Prince of Tyre

12.8.2014

Before we go to the relevant citations in the Eth Cepher, we need to clarify this term about which we will be discussing, and this is the word Tyre. The word which appears in the Hebrew is not really even close, but over the years, the name Tyre has been the selected interpretation.&n... Read More

The Season of Thanksgiving – Part 3

The substance of things hoped for We see now that the hope of lawfulness to the instruction (Torah) of YAH is by our moral fidelity to YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH and His ethos in works by the love of YAHUAH ELOHAYCHA with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and wi... Read More

Having discovered the nature now of faith, morality, ethics, righteousness and holiness, let us consider some of the difficult writings of Sha’ul. Galatiym (Galatians) 2:16 Knowing that a man is not made righteous by the works of the Torah, but by the faith (moral convicti... Read More

What is faith? – Part 5: Faith without works; works without faith.

11.21.2014

As we have seen, the use of the word faith in its plain meaning, means in most cases moral conviction, fidelity, and truthfulness. Yet we are called to higher standard than a mere meeting of the Torah. This is what is meant by Sha’ul when he says that faith is apart from... Read More

What is faith? – Part 4: On morality and ethics

11.20.2014

Before we review the teachings of HAMASHIACH, let us consider the meaning of the English word morality. The word describes the condition of adhering to morés, or the condition of acting in conformity with morés; i.e., the state of being moral. Morés are th... Read More

What is Faith? – Part 3

11.19.2014

As we take a look at this issue of faith, our review should begin with a discussion of the righteousness of MASHIACH as expressed in his own words: Mattithyahu (Matthew) 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulf... Read More

What is faith? - Part 2 (WWJD/ WDYD)

As we have seen, the use of the word faith in its plain meaning is, in most cases, moral conviction, fidelity, and truthfulness. Let us see how it applies in the writings of the words of Sha’ul (Paul) that we might actually determine what he is actually saying. Romaiym (R... Read More

What is faith? - Part 1

11.17.2014

The Latter Rain

We continue our study of this incredible cepher, the cepher of Zakaryahu. Zakaryahu (Zechariah) 10:1 Ask ye of YAHUAH rain in the time of the latter rain; so YAHUAH shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field. So, we begin with tr... Read More

I AM

In the Eth Cepher, we wrestled about with the phrase found in Shemot 3:13-14 that is commonly interpreted as follows: And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to... Read More

Your King Comes

11.12.2014

You recall that our chapter 9 of Zakaryahu opens with the edict that the burden of the word of YAHUAH in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward YAHUAH. Let us recall the nature of the Word of Y... Read More

Who now is Leviy? Part 1 – The Blessing

The Word “Blessed”

10.20.2014

Often, it is debated: Who are the two witnesses that are described in Chizayon (Revelation) 11? Chizayon 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. The debate usually seeks to determine i... Read More

Zionism

10.15.2014

One of my favorite books in the Eth Cepher is this book of Zakaryahu, or in the common vernacular, Zechariah. Back in the days when I attended the corporate 501(c)(3) church, I would never hear anyone preach on this book, although it contains one of the most important prophecies concerning Mas... Read More

What or who are the seven spirits of YAH?

10.14.2014

Who are the seven spirits of God? We begin with a Zakaryahu 3: AND he showed me Yahusha the high priest standing before the angel of YAHUAH, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And YAHUAH said unto Satan, YAHUAH rebuke you, O Satan; even YAHUAH that has chosen Yerushalayim rebuke...

Would you still worship if His name was Joshua?

10.13.2014

In the Eth Cepher, we have set forth the name of Messiah as YAHUSHA (יהושע). This name is identical to the name we have set forth in Numbers describing the Ephraimite Husha, the son of Nun, who was selected as one of the twelve to spy out the Promised Land during the beginning of th... Read More

A critical passage in the besorah of Mattithyahu keeps rising in my spirit as the Father breathes new life into this bit of wisdom in the governance of our affairs in these last hours of the age of man. Let’s begin with the preamble: Mattithyahu 11:27 All things are delivered unto me... Read More

Psalm 81:3 and the Covered Moon

10.10.2014

The question of the biblical calendar is one that is not easily answered, particularly the question of how the first day of the month is determined, and how the first month of the year is determined. We begin with Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 1: 14 And ELOHIYM said, Let there be li... Read More

What is Canonization?

9.4.2014

We have heard the objection as to books canonized and books not canonized, which begs the question: What is canonizing a book all about anyway? The council of Nicea was the first to create a canon (read: rule of the newly formed Catholic - or "universal" - Church). The canonization of the books was ... Read More

The Name of the Savior - YAHUSHA

1.2.2014

When it comes to the son of YAHUAH, there are many names being taught today.

The Scriptural Calendar

12.4.2013

Before using the Yom Qodesh, the code of the Scriptural calendar must be deciphered! If you herald from the Gregorian world, you will look at these dates and scratch your head.

The Kingship of Yahusha HaMashiach

The Scriptural Foundations of Chanukah

For so many, Chanukah is a problem.

The feast is described in 2 Makkabiym, which is... Read More

In deciding to publish the 87 books of the את CEPHER, we reached many conclusions; some of which were decisions to include writings that had not been included before, and some of which were decisions to exclude writings which in some cases, were included in some texts.

Many of the Greek translations set forth the statement made in Chizayon (Revelation) thusly: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
