Inside the times and seasons - Atonement Part 1

The big snow has given me a chance to finish this. I hope to get back to a regular schedule of lessons soon.

In the meantime, the helpful heh has gone public on youtube. You can pull up the entire series in order. Stay tuned for the bloopers reel. It might appear at any time....

patience

סַבֽלָנוּת

From the root סבל "to bear, to carry, to be strong in labor"

I am writing to you from my new computer :) I still have a few more things to check out but it should facilitate my posting on a more regular basis.

Coming soon....the end of the helpful heh and moving on to the other useful letters of the aleph-bet, and Inside the times and seasons-Weeks.

Thanks for your patience.

Inside the times and seasons - Omer Reisheet Part 1

In spite of the fact that most Messianics call this feast 'Bikkurim', that is not the Biblical terminology for it.  A look into what the name of the feast is about.....

the helpful heh - part 5

Well, I clearly need a larger print Bible.....or trifocals. Feh.

On reviewing the lesson, in Genesis 1:24, I think למינה refers to the נפש and not the חיה. The חיה is an adjective modifying נפש, which is feminine, "living creature according to her kind", not "his", as is written in the KJV.

crumbs from the table

The Canaanite woman reminded Yeshua that even the dogs (gentiles) eat from the crumbs that fall from the children's (Jews) table. But what happens when the children are not eating from the table? What is left for the dogs?

Next episode of the helpful heh coming soon...

Khag hasukkot same'akh.

the helpful heh-part 3

Wow, what does come out of our mouths when we're not listening?  I was drawing the lamed and talking about the lamed and I said heh.  So please make the mental adjustment....We still have many more lessons on the helpful heh.

going away

Shalom.  I'm going to be away for about 2 weeks.  I'll be working on the presentation for Inside the times and seasons for Unleavened Bread.  There are some amazing revelations there!  And as soon as I get back, the Helpful Heh will continue.  We have a lot more to cover on this useful letter.

In the meantime, keep you eyes on the skies.....

Inside the times and seasons - Passover part 2

Please scroll down and view part 1 before viewing part 2.  It will make a lot more sense....

on words and the internet

Pardon a little off-topic side note.  I was listening to an interview this morning by the senior technology editor of the Wall Street Journal.  You can listen here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=13  Of the websites that track you online, dictionary.com is the chief offender, installing 234 trackers on your computer every time you open the site.  I always wondered why it took so long to load on my computer.  I'd be interested if anyone has an alternate site.  I am going to stay away.

The rest of Insides the times and seasons-Passover will be up tomorrow.

the helpful heh - part 2

The helpful heh got carried away.  We didn't have any extra time, so although I taught some cursive, I didn't get to post the verses in Hebrew inside the lesson.  So use your pause button!  Find the scriptures!  Read along with the teacher!

Inside the times and seasons - Part 1 of many

Here is the first part of a new series which does not require any knowledge of Hebrew.  It's the beginning of a study on the deeper meanings of the names of the feasts.  Another iron comes out of the fire....

more on the definite article

The definite article heh is called הא הידיעה in Hebrew, from the root ידע, which means ‘to know’. The definite article means we know which one we are talking about, the door (as opposed to a door), the cat (as opposed to any cat, or cats in general), etc.


It seems like blueletterbible was down for a few days, having had a glitch in displaying the words between 5624 and 5999. I checked it this morning and the links were broken, but it seems to be working now.
