One of the great tragedies facing modern society is the number of Black men murdered.  Although the numbers would obviously be much larger in the African continent because of the much larger population, the social tragedy and racial conflict is highlighted in looking at the murders of African-American men in the USA. The topic can… Read more »

We are entering new and difficult times. We need a greater understanding as believers in Yeshua of how to relate to trials and tribulations. Ultimately it is God’s will for us to live in material blessing. At the end of the Bible, we see there will be no pain, no curse and no tears forever…. Read more »

There will be increasing tribulation in the end times. It is not that God desires difficulties for us; however, there are reasons that these spiritual battles “must” take place. Revelation 1:1 – things which must take place swiftly Revelation 4:1 – things which must take place after this Revelation 22:6 – things which must take… Read more »

When we speak about “tribulation,” many think immediately about end times’ scenarios. However, we also need to look at our general attitude toward adversity. How is the normal believer to react to times of trouble?

It’s also a financial problem, and it’s making people everywhere very worried and stressed. They’re afraid of getting sick, and they’re afraid of losing their finances, and they’re beginning… Read more »

Yehoshua means Yehovah saves just as Jehoshaphat or Yehoshaphat יהושפט means Jehovah judges.

I am amazed at the prayer of Hannah (the mother of Samuel the Prophet).  It seems that every good thing in the Bible (or elsewhere) starts with a woman praying.  It is often a woman in a desperate situation, praying a desperate prayer. Hannah was preceded by Sarah, Rivka, Rachel, Miriam, and all the Jewish… Read more »

Passover-Two Parts   From Revive Israel The salvation at the Passover was both personal and corporate.
