The study of the Bible in its historical context - with a focus on the archaeology, history, geography, customs , culture, and even the languages of the ancient Middle East. WE ask what did they understand THEN - the original intent of the Lord - so that we can expand and enrich our understanding NOW and thus become true disciples of Adonai Yeshua as in John 8:31-32.

Is Jacob a “mama’s boy?” It says in Gen. 25:27 he was a peaceful man living in tents and his mama, Rebecca, preferred Jacob over Esau. What we will find is Jacob is no mama’s boy. He is תָּם TAM H8535. In the Gesenius Hebrew Lexicon we get the picture of a complete man, a mature grown man, one who lacks nothing. This is no mama’s boy. He is a man you seemingly can count on do face his responsibilities, ready to go the extra mile.
And we read about Jacob being a man of the tents. That means he is attending to family business. He’s not out hunting and having fun like Esau. Jacob is one dedicated to the Bet Av (pronounced “Bate Av”) of the house of the father, the tents of Isaac. Once we put the Bible back into those days around 2000 B.C., into the culture of those days, we will then see that perhaps why Rebecca preferred Jacob over Esau is that Jacob was the one who would preserve the family and keep it together after Isaac died. Rebecca was an awesome woman and she seems to have a clear motive to deceive Isaac using Jacob – give Jacob the blessing of the first born to preserve the Bet Av, the family and keep it from Esau who was out all the time having fun hunting and not doing what he should be doing, being and acting like the first born.
I mentioned two other topics in this lesson. One is that Arabs are not descendants of Ishmael. Arabs are Polyethnic and come from a number of ancient peoples. One of those ancient peoples were around from 3000 B.C. to about 300 B.C. They existed at least 1000 years before Abraham was even born. Here’s a link to lesson 27 in this series. In this lesson you can learn about real Bible dating based upon real history and archaeology. In this lesson you’ll see that 2000 B.C. is an approximate time of Abraham’s birth. Here’s the link – https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-8qb22-f6e039
I also mentioned a website that discusses this issue. Here’s a link to a website. Not the best but at least a beginning for those of you who want to study this further. Link - https://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-myths-arabs-descendants-of-ishmael.htm
Related to this is my paper that proves that Allah is NOT the God of the Bible. This is a false claim made even by some Evangelicals. Even the pop himself "hinted" at this in a speech he did. Here’s the link to the paper. Link - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qve66ohtl87gygb/The%20Bible%2C%20Adonai%2C%20Allah%20and%20the%20Quran%20-%20Who%20is%20Who.pdf?dl=0
Finally, we address the location of Mt. Sinai. Some say it is in southern Saudi Arabia on the west coast. If that is the case these so called scholars must move the Wilderness of Shur, which we read about in these verses in Genesis, from its precise Biblical location to the western shores of Saudi Arabia on the Gulf of Aqaba. These pseudo-scholars have changed the wording of the Bible so that it agrees to their belief that is held only as a remote theory by real Christian and religious Jewish scholars and archaeologists.

In lesson 60 we will continue our study of Isaac. Again and again we will see that even though Isaac is seemingly of less importance than his dad, Abraham, or his son, Jacob, nevertheless, Isaac is a “big deal.” Isaac is thus one of the Jewish Patriarchs and his position in this elite group of Bible characters is just as critical as the others.
One thing we will see again is the truth of this phrase first coined by Rabbi Moses ben Maimon or better known in Judaism as Rambam. In his commentary on Genesis that he wrote in the Middle Ages, Rambam noticed something and thus wrote …
מה שאירע לאבות סימן לבנים
Mah Shayra L’Avot Seeman L’Banim
“What happened to the fathers is a sign for the sons.”
Rambam Berescheit 12:6
In this lesson Isaac has problems with a Philistine named Abimelech and his herdsmen regarding wells. But, this happened to his father as well. There’s more. Isaac is the promised one to Abraham and Sarah. Isaac’s birth is miraculous! Sarah was beyond child bearing years but God took care of that. This repeats in Isaac’s life. Rebecca could not have children and Isaac prayed for his beautiful Rebecca for 20 years! God answered that prayer and Rebecca conceived. One might say another birth controlled by the hand of the Lord. This then reminds us of Yeshua, Jesus. He is the promised one just like Isaac. Jesus’ birth was an unbelievable miracle as the birth of Isaac and then later the birth of Jacob and Esau. Now we see what Rambam saw and why he wrote …
מה שאירע לאבות סימן לבנים
Mah Shayra L’Avot Seeman L’Banim
“What happened to the fathers is a sign for the sons.”
Rambam Berescheit 12:6
It is almost as if God is showing us that when we see events in the lives of Bible characters that repeat in a pattern later, it is a if God is saying, “I engineered all this. This is all by my hand. You can tell by how one event or one character is reflected in the lives and events of those that came below."
There is a Messianic congregation I know and respect. Their lead teacher wrote an article that relates to the saying of Rambam. Here’s the link to the article. This will add to your understanding. Link - https://rabbiyeshua.com/articles-by-kehilat/item/58-faith-of-our-fathers

We’ve all heard the expression, “like father like son.” In this lesson we will see how this relates to Abraham and his son Isaac.
Perhaps, for many of us, we look upon Isaac as a minor Biblical character. His story is not very long in the Torah in Genesis. Matter of fact in the Hebrew Scriptures there are about 200 some verses connected to Abraham and about 100 for Isaac; Isaac seems to be not as important as his dad. But, this is a wrong view.
In this lesson we will see some amazing aspects of his life, Isaac’s life, and this will result in one conclusion; Isaac and his life is a big big deal. We will see that things in Abraham’s life seemingly are repeated in the life of Isaac. I wonder if this is where the rabbis got their insight into a Biblical concept they saw. It is captured in the phrase מַעֲשֵׂה אֲבוֹת סִימָן לַבָּנִים - Ma'asay Avot Seeman L’Baneem or “The deeds of the fathers are signs for the children.” So if one looks at Abraham’s life some of the events are signs or predictions for Isaac. In lessons 54 and 55 in this series we began to see that this was connected to Jesus as well. Indeed the rabbinic concept that “the deeds of the fathers are signs for the children,” is demonstrated in the unbelievable links between יִצְחָק Yeetzack and יֵשׁוּעַ Yeshua, Isaac and Jesus. We will see this continue in this lesson and in lesson 60.
Here are the links to lesson 54 and 55. Perhaps you have already listened to them. It might be good to go back and review. If you haven’t listened to those lessons, I highly recommend you go back, listen to them, and gain a more complete picture and understanding of the awesome standing of Isaac. So, here’s the links …

In lesson 6 we consider the Torah, the 1st five books of the Bible, as a polemic. A polemic is a concept that is diametrically opposed to a competing concept. God seems to indicate this in Lev. 18:1-5 when God said ...
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'I am the LORD your God. 'You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes. 'You are to perform My judgments and keep My statutes, to live in accord with them; I am the LORD your God. 'So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which a man may live if he does them; I am the LORD. (Lev 18:1-5, NASB)
It is if God is inspiring Moses to write parts of the Torah as a polemic that comes against the truth claims and pagan mythology of Egypt. Clearly, God wants to help His chosen people to get Egypt out of their life and prepare for entering the pagan world of the Canaanites in the Promised Land. Later when we get to Genesis 50 and Exodus 1 and 2 we will study in detail the Bible proof that the Hebrews slowly but surely assimilated into the Egyptian culture - most of them forgot the God, the only God, the God of their fathers, of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.
For further study use this link to study the idea that the Hebrews had assimilated into the pagan culture of Egypt. Here's the link - click here for the article showing the assimilation of the Hebrews

Recent events have been very difficult and evil. During these days the Lord seemed to open up His word to me and Psalm 118:8 in surprising ways. It was as if this was an ALERT from the Lord for us, we who say we are true disciples of the Lord.

In Jesus' day the only Bible they had then was the Hebrew Scriptures (a.k.a. the Old Testament). In Matt 16:18 we read that Jesus will build His ECCLESIA G1577 upon a rock. But, Jesus did not mean church as we know it in the 21st century. He did not mean a building or an organization or a religion. He meant "a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place; an assembly" from Thayer's Greek Lexicon. So He meant people. How do you relate a group of people to a ROCK?
One thing that is possible is it may be connected to the location of where Jesus said this. He said it at a pagan Roman city called Caesarea Philippi 25 miles north of the sea of Galilee. This city was the location of a rock formation where pagans came to worship the god Pan in bizarre and immoral rituals. This was a "holy" pagan religious site where of pagan gods even from Old Testament days. Ray Vander Laan has an excellent (short) article related to this archaeological site and how it might connect to Jesus' words. Here's the link - https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/gates-of-hell-article
Here's a link to an awesome scholarly resource where you can study this archaeological site in detail with awesome pictures. Link - https://www.biblewalks.com/banias
Jesus at this place talks about building His assembly of followers on a ROCK. But, this is a place where an assembly of pagans gathered at a ROCK to worship pagan gods and goddesses. Is there something the Lord wants us to understand? But, in the book of Isaiah we read ...
"Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, Who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were hewn And to the quarry from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain; When he was but one I called him, Then I blessed him and multiplied him." (Isa 51:1-2)
Bible commentators both Jewish and Christian say this verse suggests that Abraham is the ROCK. And all the disciples of Jesus had then was the Hebrew Scriptures. They very likely knew this verse. So, did they somehow relate Jesus' words to Abraham? Needless to say we have some interesting connections to explore. This is what we will do in lesson 58. We will again study the life of Abraham and use it as a EULOGY to this man who is our "father" by faith as Paul teaches us in ...
Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. (Gal 3:6-7)
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise. (Gal 3:28-29)

Our focus in lesson 31 is on two verses. The first is Exod. 11:2 and the second is Exod. 11:5.
"Speak now in the hearing of the people that each man ask from his neighbor and each woman from her neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold." (Exo 11:2)
“… and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of the Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the millstones; all the firstborn of the cattle as well.” (Exo 11:5)
These two verses show us that the Torah, the books of Moses, are as relevant today as they were then. It is God’s instruction (that is what תּוֹרָה Torah means in the Hebrew) and God was instructing the Hebrews back then in 1446 B.C. and His original message was meant for them and us. But, we need to study the word and try and grasp what those Hebrews saw and heard and understood, God's original intent and message then, so our understanding of how it relates to us today is enriched and enhanced.
In Exod. 11:2 we find along with two other verses in Exodus that the Egyptians are called by God the “neighbors” of the Hebrews. Later God commands in Lev. 19:18 and 19:34 that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves and we are to love the stranger as ourselves. Thus, combining 19:18 and 19:34 together, the stranger is our neighbor! God is teaching them then and us today that someone we don’t know, who is perhaps of a different faith, who holds to a different sexual orientation, who is foreign born, a total stranger, we are to treat them as if they were our neighbor - someone we know personally and lives with us of close to us. In this podcast we will unpack this and relate it to the Platinum Rule and the Golden Rule.
Platinum Rule – treat others how they would like to be treated. Or another way of saying it is do unto others they way they want to be treated.
Golden Rule - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is from Matt 7:12
Today some say the Platinum Rule now replaces the Golden Rule. Some say the Golden Rule is archaic and no longer valid for today. It is seemingly an attack on the Bible by some, on the very words of God. These views show that many have a limited and very incomplete understanding of the Bible. If one does not study the Jewish roots of the New Testament, the Jewish background, one can easily be mislead by those who say the Golden Rule of the Bible is dead.
In this lesson we will show that the Golden Rule and the Platinum Rule are both in the Bible and are applications of the Torah - both come out of the rabbis applying Lev. 19:18 and 19:34. They are not separate rules but, for the rabbis, they are applications of these verses. We will see that years before Jesus that it was being taught that we are to love the stranger as our neighbor and we are to treat, as best as we can, the stranger the way the stranger would like to be treated. On top of that we will see that the Platinum Rule itself is actually taught by Paul. In lesson 31 we will see that God’s word, His תּוֹרָה Torah, is so applicable today. We shouldn’t be surprised. Jesus said sometime between 24-30 A.D. that ALL scripture testifies of Him. All they had then was the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament. The main books of the Bible in Jesus’ day was the תּוֹרָה Torah. How dare us not study the very words of God that God Himself says testifies of Him.
There is a great article on the Golden Rule vs. the Platinum Rule at a website entitled, www.TBLfaithnews.com. Just go to the website and in their search window simply enter, “Platinum Rule.” I am indebted to these Christian teachers for some awesome insights to on this topic.
As we study the Golden Rule vs. the Platinum Rule I mentioned I’d link you to a chapter from one of my class books. This chapter is on the parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus’ parable has everything to do with this issue. In this parable it is clear that Jesus is saying our enemy is our neighbor. Once again, the Lord is so consistent. This is what He initially taught His people coming out of Egypt. Here’s the link to this chapter for your further study - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ju6zum2rzcu6srs/Parables2..GoodNeighbor..pages15..31may21.pdf?dl=0
The second issue we will deal with in this lesson is what is the name of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. This results from the verse Exod. 11:5. In this verse all first born will die. But, Pharaoh did not die. But, studying the ancient culture of Egypt we learn that the 1st born son of a Pharaoh was considered the “crown prince” and this would be the next Pharaoh. So, the Pharaoh in the Exodus didn’t die. Thus, if the Bible is true and 100% accurate, the Pharaoh of the Exodus must not have been the first born. What is amazing is if we put the Bible in its historical context we will be able to determine the name of this Pharaoh from the clue the Bible gives that Pharaoh of the Exodus had an older brother as well as the next Pharaoh in line.
I recommend you also study lesson 5 parts 1 & 2 in this series. These podcasts deal with the dating of the Exodus. So podcasts 5 parts 1 & 2 and this lesson are extremely important for you if you are a serious student of the Bible. Here’s the links to these podcasts.
Part 2 - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/the-gospel-according-to-moses-exodus-lesson-5-part-2-1446-bc/
I also am linking you to Dr. Doug Petrovich’s new videos. The topic is the Pharaoh of the Exodus. In this podcast I deal with one aspect of the discussion that the Pharaoh of the Exodus was Amenhotep II. Dr. Petrovich in his videos gives even more amazing archaeological and historical fact to support his. You may even want to get his latest books and DVD’s. This is one Christian proven credible scholar you will want to “study under” to do deeper into your Bible understanding. Here’s the links to the videos.

In Exodus 34:6-7 Adonai, the Lord our God, teaches Moses on Sinai what He is like. Among the rabbis these verses are called the 13 Attributes of Adonai.
Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations." (Exo 34:6-7)
Two attributes really stand out when it comes to the Pharaoh of the Exodus. God is slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness. These attributes along with John 3:16, say that God loves the whole world (even Pharaoh). And this along with the Hebrew (NOT ENGLISH) give us an alternative view of the phrase "God hardened Pharaoh's heart." We have learned from credible Jewish and Christian scholars that it seems IN THE HEBREW that God was trying to help Pharaoh make the right decision, to chose the path of righteousness of the God of Israel, and to turn from his immovable and strong commitment to his gods. This is clear when we actually learn that the phrase "God hardened Pharaoh's heart" needs to be corrected! There are three unique Hebrew words that our translators said meant hardened! How did this happen? Their translation seems to be based upon their bias and has clouded the deeper and more enhanced meaning.
There is a verse in the King James version that is an example. It shows the traditional view that has come down to us through the ages. It is ... "And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land." (Exo 11:10) Thus we learn in this translation that God caused Pharaoh to bring upon all Egypt the 10th awesome and terrible plague. However, the Hebrew shows us something quite different. The English of the verse from the Hebrew is ... "And Moses and Aaron did all these signs before Pharaoh and gave courage (NOT STIFFENED OR HARDENED- mistaken translation) the Lord the heart of Pharaoh and he did not let out the sons of Israel of his land." Exod. 11:10 (translation from "Hebrew Study Bible" from the Westminster Lenigrad Codex). The Hebrew shows us that it is very possible that time and again as we have seen in lessons 12 till 30 in this series that God was trying to help Pharaoh make the right decision and turn from his gods without forcing Pharaoh's hand and taking away Pharaoh's free will. The Hebrew, and NOT our traditional views based upon the translators' beliefs, gives us an alternative view that seems to be more correct. This alternative view then supports what God is like by His own words as we read above in Exod. 34:6-7 and John 3:16.
I urge you to study the videos entitled "His Highnesses' Heavy Heart." In these videos it is shown that there is an alternative equivalent meaning to the phrase in our English Bibles, "God hardened Pharaoh's heart." The material presented is backed up with solid Jewish and Christian scholarship. If you are serious about your Bible study these videos are a must so that the Ten Plagues and Pharaoh are understood in a deeper and more enhanced way. Links -

Part 2 = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZSsExt9Hbw&list=PLvcIXun2BQDIw6myuMPTvlWHUu9AJqXip&index=20
But, one thing we know of the Lord, He knows all. He knew right from the "get go" that Pharaoh would not do the right thing. The Lord told Moses this at the burning bush. Remember? "But I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, except under compulsion. So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and after that he will let you go." (Exo 3:19-20) The actual Hebrew for "under compulsion" is " a strong hand." The Hebrew does not say God will force Pharaoh to free Israel but that God will war against Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt with a "strong hand" which will finally convince Pharaoh to relent and let the people go. It is almost as if God is teaching us that He knew the end, He knew what Pharaoh would bring upon himself and all Egypt. God shows us that He'd try and help Pharaoh do the right thing. God seems to be teaching us about the power of evil and wickedness and that the final result is the evil and wicked will bring themselves to the brink of destruction and not the Lord. Pharaoh's story is our story. Pharaoh's strong stubborn evil worldview is just like us. Thank God that we have this promise ... "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. (Joh 3:16-17) In 1446 B.C. the Hebrew shows us that the Lord was being a SAVIOR to Pharaoh and to try and encourage his mind to do the right thing. And it is true now, we too need a SAVIOR. He has come in the flesh and we all can now proclaim Jesus is our Lord, Jesus is our God, Jesus is the ONLY God. And through the Cross we are redeemed and saved from our sins and delivered from His wrath coming upon all nations. So we cry out, "Maranatha Lord Jesus" which comes from the Hebrew מָרָנָא אֲתָה - marana attah - the Lord will come!

In the 9th plague God brings darkness upon all Egypt for three days. It is a darkness that the Torah says can be "felt" and it was a "thick" darkness. It was so awesome that people did not even move or seemingly travel around for the three days. What is going on?
Some say it was a dust storm from Arabia. They try and make it a natural occurrence. Many try and make the plagues something that can be explained. But, in this case. This darkness is unnatural. One could feel it. It was so thick it prevented moving around. And, it probably was a blackness, unnatural, since it related to the religion of the pagan Egyptians and the Hebrews who had bought into the wrong story and assimilated into the pagan Egyptian culture.
For the Hebrews they may have seen it in light of what was familiar to them then. It may have been that the Hebrews, and even many Egyptians, as a picture of the Lord bringing back the darkness prior to the creation as understood by the Egyptians. One must study the cosmologies of the Egyptians, their creation myths, to understand how this might relate. In Exod. 12:12 the Lord says He will come against ALL the gods of Egypt. This darkness, this total lack of light, is as if God took all Egypt back to the days before Amun-Ra, the sun god, the god of light, creates himself. This is taking the earth back to primordial state that the Egyptians said was total chaos. Pharaoh's job was to prevent chaos and preserve Ma'at. Ma'at the supreme goddess of truth, order, peace, and harmony and well being. But, Pharaoh could not. But the Lord brought upon all Egypt the chaos that all Egypt lived to stop and preserve Ma'at.
There is a cute video on YouTube that does a good job on the Egyptian creation myths. Here's the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTy49JlgJZE
In Exod. 12:12 the Lord says He will come against all the gods of Egypt. I mentioned the scholar David Padfield who did a brilliant job on relating the gods of Egypt to the plagues. Here's a link to this free resource by David Padfield - https://www.padfield.com/acrobat/history/gods_of_egypt.pdf
