The story of Jonah is well documented in Scripture in a Book bearing his name. The Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, and all the people of Yeshua’s day would have been familiar with the prophet Jonah and his exploits. Yeshua referenced Jonah on several occasions when asked by the religious leaders to perform a sign for them to prove Himself to them. Most who preach about Jonah focus on the three days and three nights that Jonah was in the belly of the fish as Yeshua illustrated in one of His refere...

When Abimelech heard that Abraham had said that Sarah was his sister, Abimelech sent for Sarah and took her. What relation was Sarah to Abraham?

Abimelech declared himself as a man of integrity and his nation as a righteous nation. YeHoVaH agrees with Abimelech as a man of integrity of heart and He kept Abi...

Lot was instructed to go into the mountains, but Lot negotiated with the Angels to stay in Zoar. However, fear caused Lot to move to the mountain instead of dwelling in Zoar.

YeHoVaH reasoned concerning the need to share with Abraham what He was about to do to Sodom, where Lot lived, and Gomorrah. Among the reasons was that Abraham was a prophet; he would become a great and mighty nation and all the nations of the earth would be blessed through him; Abraham lived in the region where YeHoVaH was about to judge the people; and Abraham had fought to save the people of Sodom and Gomorrah and returned them to their homeland. YeHoVaH gave Abraham the opportunity to interce...

This is the 3rd time the Scriptures record YeHoVaH appearing to Abraham. YeHoVaH and the men with Him had their feet washed and were served bread, butter, milk and beef. Ironically, consuming meat and dairy products (including cheese) together is forbidden by Kosher dietary laws. YeHoVaH said that He would certainly return unto them according to the time of life and Sarah would have a son. Sarah’s faith was not in the same place as Abraham’s faith.

YeHoVaH told Abraham to no longer call his wife Sarai, but Sarah. Sarai first heard her new name called by her husband Abraham, not by YeHoVaH. It is clear according to YeHoVaH’s intent, that in order for the Covenant YeHoVaH made with Abraham to come to pass, Sarah had to comply and come in agreement with it. Although Abraham felt it was impossible for him and Sarah to bear children together, he knew it was not impossible for the Most High Elohim to produce a child with them! After the conversa...

Mysteries or secrets of the Kingdom were revealed to Yeshua's disciples, but were hidden from satan and the masses who did not have ears to hear the teachings Yeshua presented. Before Yeshua began to teach in parables, He taught in clear simple everyday speech to the people beginning with the Beatitudes and the Sermons on the Mount in Matthew Chapter 5. When Yeshua started teaching in parables, it required His listeners to inquire further for understanding; this separated those who wanted an und...

Assessing her inability to have children, Sarai came up with the idea of having her husband sleep with her servant, Hagar, in order to produce children. Scripture implies that the children Hagar produced would be Sarai’s children since Hagar was Sarai’s maidservant or slave. Abram went in unto Hagar, she conceived, and when Hagar saw that she had conceived, she despised Sarai. Although Abram did not give Sarai permission to mistreat Hagar, he did give Sarai permission to do with Hagar as she ple...
