The Practice of Februation among the Children of Yisra’el

1.7.2015 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 t... Read More

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

1.2.2015 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 amendment ... Read More

Gog and Magog

12.31.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 o...

Magog

12.30.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 וּמָד... Read More

The Birthright of Avraham – Part 2

12.29.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 un... Read More

Chanukkah – a prayer

12.18.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 tha... Read More

Establishing Holiness in Your Life

12.15.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  Ya’akov (James) 5:1-20 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 ...

Holiness

12.15.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 is th... Read More

The Fractal of Elohiym

12.14.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  We have discussed previously the idea of spiritual fractals being set forth throughout scripture.  The most important of these fractals is the first or primary fractal which is the image of ELOHIYM.  We might want to know, given that man is created in the image and likeness of ELO... Read More

The Reign of the Throne of David

12.9.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  Divrei Hayamiym Ri’shon (I Chronicles) 14:1-2 NOW Chiyram king of Tsor sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. 2 And David perceived that YAHUAH had confirmed him king over Yisra’el, for his kingdom was lifted up on high... Read More

The Prince of Tyre

12.8.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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...

Building a Hedge for the House of Yisra’el

12.7.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  Yekhezq’el (Ezekiel) 13:3-5 Thus says ADONAI YAHUAH; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4 O Yisra’el, your prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of... Read More

Foolish Prophets

12.5.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  Yekhezq’el (Ezekiel) 13:3-9 Thus says ADONAI YAHUAH; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4 O Yisra’el, your prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of... Read More

Who is Yashar’el?

12.4.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
Mosheh commanded us a Torah, even the inheritance of the assembly of Ya`aqov. 5 And he was king in Yasharon, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Yisra’el were gathered together. Devariym (Deuteronomy) 33:4-5 Let’s take a look at this in the Hebrew. Torah (The torah) tsav... Read More

  Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 1:1-2 In the beginning ELOHIYM created אֵת eth the heavens and אֵת eth the earth. Bere’shiyth bara ELOHIYM eth ha’shamayim v’eth ha’aretz. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the ... Read More

The name יהוה

12.2.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
I AM.  So it is that this post begins with the dictates of the RUACH, placing the I AM in bold by its own impetus, so I will leave it.  I undertake this discussion, therefore, with all reverence of the divine name and its meaning, and pray that this discussion will bless you in every way.&...

The Season of Thanksgiving – Part 4

12.1.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  The evidence of things not seen Ivriym (Hebrews) 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It is time to discuss those things not seen, and what constitutes the evidence thereof.  It is one of the great ironies that the most important t... Read More

The Season of Thanksgiving – Part 3

11.30.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 with a...

  Chag Semeach, Yom Yada! Nechemiah (Nehemiah) 8:1-2 AND all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the Cepher of the Torah of Mosheh, which YAHUAH had commanded to Yisra’el. 2 An... Read More

What is faith? – Part 7: The substance of things hoped for.

11.24.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  Ivriym (Hebrews) 11:1 NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. A few words on this subject are due.  One question that is rumored to have plagued Einstein who created his famous equation considering matter and energy, is the question of meanin... Read More

What is faith? – Part 6: Sha’ul’s discussion

11.23.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 conviction, fidel... Read More

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

11.21.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 t... Read More

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

11.20.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 the ... Read More

What is Faith? – Part 3

11.19.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 fulfil. 18 Fo...

What is faith? - Part 2 (WWJD/ WDYD)

11.18.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 (Roman... Read More

Pseudepigraphal works of Paul

11.18.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
What are the pseudepigraphal works of scripture? What does it mean when we say a work is “pseudepigraphal"? Let’s take a look. You are going to be surprised how many books actually qualify.  We find the Latin/Greek origin of the word pseudepigrapha meaning something falsely insc... Read More

The Year 6000

The Timing of the Two Witnesses

The timing of the Two Witnesses of Chizayon (Revelation) 11 Chizayon 11:1-3 AND there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the Temple of YAHUAH, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the Temple leave out, ...

The House of Judah

11.18.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
The question has been raised now all over the world concerning the origin of those who call themselves Ashekenazi (the Ashkenazi Jews). Tex Marrs has made the claim that the Askhenaziym are not really of the blood line of Judah, but are converts, and therefore have no lawful claim to the Avrahamic T... Read More

The Genealogy of HAMASHIACH

11.18.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
The genealogy of the Messiah is expressed in two different passages of the Besoroth (the Gospels). We begin with Mattithyahu, the very first words of the Brit Chadasha (excerpt from the Cepher): Mattithyahu THE (סֵפֶר cepher) of the generation of Yahusha HaMashiach, the son of David, the son o...

The Kingship of Yahusha HaMashiach

11.18.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
The Kingship of Yahusha HaMashiach What does it mean to say “only begotten" Son? We begin with the scripture commonly known as John 3:16: Yahuchanan (John) 3 16 For ELOHIYM so loved (אהב ahav) the world (תֵּבֵל tebel), that he gave his only begotten Son (יָחִיד את, eth yachiyd), that w...

The Latter Rain

11.14.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 trying to und... Read More

I AM

11.13.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 me,...

Your King Comes

11.12.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  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 YAHUA... Read More

Who now is Leviy? Part 5 - The Testimony

11.7.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  Because this is a blog, it is possible to discuss outside sources beyond the Eth Cepher as well, as we will do when we seek to ascertain who is Leviy in modernity.  It is certainly a question worth asking, and an inquiry worth the making.  One of the books that was reviewed but ... Read More

Who now is Leviy? Part 2 – On Malkiy-Tsadiyq (Melchizedek)

11.4.2014 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P
  In our last discussion, the priesthood of Malkiy-Tsadyq (Melchizedek) was raised. Let us see if we can explore this just a bit more. Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 14:18-20 And Melchizedek king (melech) of Salem (Shalom) שָׁלֵם brought forth bread (lechem) and wine (yaiyin): and he was ... Read More
