119 Ministries only exists for one reason ~ a strong desire to seek and then teach the Truth of His Word to believers and the nations. Everything on this site is intended to serve and support that purpose and to equip others to do the same. We hope that this site is a blessing to you and your household. Please feel free to explore many of the free teachings on this site and join us as we all learn more of His truth together.
When it comes to the name of the Messiah, there are many discussions that are had, one of them being whether or not we should call him by the name, Jesus. Some say yes, others say no. We invite you to review the evidence and decide for yourself.
There are some that argue the use of the word “God” when referring to YHWH. For what it’s worth, here are our thoughts on that particular topic and why it’s actually okay to say God.
With so much discussion, arguments, and division amongst the body over the pronunciation of the name of our Creator, one version seems to be the most prominent, Yehovah (Jehovah). Has the Creator’s name been definitively determined at long last or are we once again falling victim to what the majority dictates and determines? Join us as we test out this pronunciation in this teaching from the Hashem series and discover if the sacred name of our Creator has been determined at long last.
Some claim the TANAKH (Old Testament) never gives instruction (Torah) to believe in the Messiah. We believe it does.
Many disagree or even argue about using the word "Lord" in the Scriptures. Some even claim that by using it, we are blaspheming or using the name of YHWH in vain. Here are some thoughts to consider.
Israel has been waiting for their Savior, their Messiah, for a long time. There have been multiple individuals called "Messiah" in the past; some believe Yeshua (Jesus), was that Messiah. Anti-missionaries will tell you that He was not. Here are 3 reasons we believe why Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel.
There are claims that Yeshua wasn’t a real person, or that the New Testament is simply made up. Flavius Josephus may disagree.
Many understand Exodus 23:13 to mean we cannot even say the names of other gods such as Baal, Mars, Janus, etc. Some go so far as to say we shouldn’t say things like Monday or January for the same reason. What’s the truth behind such beliefs and are they Scriptural?
What do the 144,000 of Revelation and the dimensions of the Tabernacle, including the Holy of Holies, have in common? Maybe more than you think.
According to the dietary instructions found in Leviticus 11, honey may be considered unclean since bees are not clean. A subject of great debate, it's times to dive in and see what we can find out about honey in Scripture. Is it really what we think it is? Is honey unclean?
Many times we hear something like “We are now under grace”, as if it’s some new thing that happened with the coming of the Messiah. But was YHWH’s grace really something new, previously unheard of in the Old Testament? Join us in a quick glance through just the Torah to see how new grace was when Messiah arrived.
Justification is a word commonly thrown around and sometimes understood as being synonymous with salvation. Are they truly the same or are they closely related? It's time to test out what it means to be justified unto salvation.
Many claim to be or want to be like the Bereans mentioned in Acts 17. But what does that mean, exactly?
Isaiah 43:11 says that YHWH is the only Savior. Anti-missionaries use this to attack Yeshua. Find out why and how to answer their criticism.
Sometimes in our desire to win people for YHWH, or to honor Him, we may do something he strictly forbids. Is the Creator okay with us doing something to honor Him even if it contradicts His Word? Since YHWH knows our hearts and intentions, does that make everything okay?
Many believe and teach that following the Torah, the Law of God is a form of bondage. That we are to be free from such things now that Messiah has come. Some even go so far as to say we do not have free will if we have to follow the Torah. Is it possible to have free will and still be obedient to the Law of God?
Some like to say "out with the old and in with the new", but is that what our Messiah teaches?
If you examine the Scriptures closely, you will see that something in Genesis 1 appears to contradict Genesis 2 in regard to the order of creation. Is there a mistake in what we commonly know as the order of creation during the first six days?
Covenants have deep roots, deep Hebrew Roots. Join us as we look at the Hebrew Root of the word "covenant".
"Be fruitful and multiply". Teachings exist indicating that this is a command to us; that if we don't multiply then we are somehow sinning. But how does the idea of this being a command hold up when applied to everyone? Is it a sin to not have children or to remain single?
Isaiah 9:6-7 is among the most famous passages in Scripture, but there’s some contention about who it’s really about. Is it about the coming Messiah or Hezekiah? Some anti-missionaries say it’s about Hezekiah but mainstream Christianity, among others, say it’s about Yeshua. Who’s right? And how does the Mem Mystery fit in to this debate?
There is no little dispute about when the Sabbath Day occurs. One of the largest questions is whether or not Saturday is really the correct 7th day and the day that Messiah kept when he was alive. Join us as we look to see if the day of Saturn (Saturday) is on the Sabbath or if the Sabbath Day was moved to be on Saturn’s Day.
Many have used the phrase "it's Greek to me" to mean that they don't understand it. What if we take that phrase and look at the Greek mindset versus the Hebrew mindset? How well can we understand the Hebrew mindset of the Scriptures if we think like a Greek? What is the difference between the Hebrew thinking and Greek thinking anyway?
The concept of slavery evokes powerful image of people being abused, beaten, living inhumanely, and even worse. Yet we see in Scripture where slavery seems to be permitted by our loving Creator. How can this be? Join us as we look into what it meant to be a slave, biblically.
"A day is as a thousand years” unlocks the Creation Prophecy, proving Isaiah correct in his saying that the “end is revealed from the beginning.” All of YHWH’s plan is revealed in the first thirty-three verses of the Bible. As a bonus, we also reveal the Exodus Prophecy.
It’s commonly taught that the Bible says not to judge others, and it does say that. However, is that all that it has to say on that topic? Join us as we examine the subject of judging, from a biblical perspective.
We’ve previously covered what a “name” means and some possibilities as to the great debate about the 3rd letter in the tetragrammaton. Now join us as we take a deeper look and examine some potentially viable pronunciations of the Creator’s name.
Some people will claim that they know exactly how to pronounce the Creator’s name. We would disagree with any concrete statements like that. One of the largest debates is whether it should be a V or a W in the name. Join us as we test out this important debate relating to the Tetragrammaton.
In Leviticus 20:17 does YHWH state a marriage between a brother and a sister was a disgrace, or a grace?
Throughout religious history make-up and jewelry have been taboo to many. There are many reasons given for this ranging from it being something only pagans do to something strictly forbidden by YHWH. We want to test these ideas to Scripture and see what we come up with.
