No More Death

Image
In the beginning, there was no death. Not for Adam, not for Eve, not for the animals, not for the land. There was no decay. No measure of disorder. No separation from the Creator. The breath of God flowed in Adam and through creation itself. That breath sustained all life. But when Adam disobeyed, the connection was severed. God had warned him in Genesis 2:17: “In the day you eat from it, mot tamut —you will surely die.” That Hebrew phrase mot tamut means “dying you will die”—a layered death that begins immediately and spreads through spirit, soul, and body. It wasn’t instant physical death, but a severing from the Source of life. From that moment, mavet —death—entered the world. Not just biological death, but separation. Rupture. The force that cuts off life from God. Paul says in Romans 5:12, “Through one man, sin entered the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men...” The Greek word thanatos (death) here is not passive. It reigns like a tyrant. Romans 5:...

The Smoking Furnace: A Covenant of Fire and the Prophetic Shadow of the Holocaust

Image
  The Smoking Furnace: A Covenant of Fire and the Prophetic Shadow of the Holocaust Fire is one of the oldest and most profound symbols in Scripture. The Hebrew word ’esh (fire) appears throughout the Tanakh and New Testament not merely as a natural phenomenon but as a divine language—God’s presence, power, judgment, and covenant all wrapped in blazing flame. When Moses encountered God at the burning bush, the bush was aflame yet not consumed ( Exodus 3:2 ). This paradox reveals a fire that purifies without destroying, a sacred covenant fire that sustains life and promises God’s enduring presence. This ’esh is not random—it is holy, alive, and purposeful. The covenant of fire appears again in God’s revelation on Mount Sinai, where the mountain smoked and trembled with fire and thunder ( Exodus 19:18) . This terrifying fire symbolized God’s holiness, justice, and the sacredness of His covenant with Israel. The altar fires in the Tabernacle and Temple consumed offerings as acts...

Daniel Saw the Time, Ezekiel Saw the Gate

  Daniel Saw the Time, Ezekiel Saw the Gate People talk about “the end times” like it’s a spooky riddle, but Daniel was shown the full timeline. Not just symbols and beasts, but actual dates . Not dates for the return of Yeshua—that wasn’t given to Daniel—but the starting point of the final countdown was. God didn’t leave His people guessing. He just said to seal it up until the time was right. That “right time” is now. Daniel saw what we now call “the last days,” and the moment the countdown would begin. But to figure it out, we have to go back to where it started. In Daniel chapter 9, the angel Gabriel shows up and tells him something wild: “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people.” That word “sevens” isn’t weeks. It’s the Hebrew word shavu’im , which means “sets of seven”—seven years . So this was 70 x 7 years: 490 years total . Then he gives the starting point. The countdown begins the moment a king gives the command to rebuild Jerusalem. That happened in 457 BC , w...

Yeshua Is Not YHWH: What the Ancient Scriptures Really Say

Image
  The one true God of Israel is called יהוה (YHWH) in Hebrew. This name is super special—it means “I AM” or “I exist .” When God spoke to Moses, He said, “אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה” (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh) — “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). This shows God is eternal, always existing, no beginning and no end. Now, Yeshua haMeshiach (Jesus the Messiah) is called the “Son of God” . In Greek, that’s υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ (huios tou Theou) . The Bible says He was begotten (Greek: μονογενής, monogenēs ), meaning He has a unique origin. He is not the eternal, uncreated God, יהוה. In John 1:1, it says: Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος (En archē ēn ho Logos) — “In the beginning was the Word.” Logos ( Λόγος ) means the divine Word , the reason and expression of God. Then: καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν (kai ho Logos ēn pros ton Theon) — “and the Word was with God.” Pros (πρὸς) means “toward” or “face-to-face with.” So the Word is in a close relationship but distinct from God. Finally: καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος...

John 1:1 Explained

Image
I have tried to set this out very carefully so that even those who don't know Greek will understand. John 1:1 (Greek): Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος. Let’s break it down slowly, line by line. 1. Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος En archē ēn ho Logos Literal : In beginning was the Word Ἐν (En) means “in.” Simple, right? But here, it’s not just a location or time—it points to being within something. The Word was in the beginning, inside the foundational moment. ἀρχῇ (archē) is usually translated as “beginning,” but it is much richer than a mere point on a timeline. It means the source, the origin, the foundation, the chief place from which everything flows. So, it’s not just when time started ticking, but the very root of everything. ἦν (ēn) is the verb “was,” but it’s imperfect tense, meaning continuous, ongoing existence. The Word wasn’t just there at the start and then appeared—He was already existing, without interruption or...

Angels And The Divine Council

Image
  Angels And The Divine Council – What You Were Never Taught, Part 1 I have been studying angels since I was a young teen... That's how long it took for me to put this piece together. With the modern technnology, I've finally been able to complete my work!  As a child, I drew angels every "Christmas" for the tree my mother and father put up for us (but that's a teaching for another time). Let me tell you, when I discovered they were never chubby babies with wings as we had been taught, I got really ticked off. lol. Let's get down to it.  They weren’t even soft-voiced singers floating on clouds. The word angel comes from the Greek angelos — messenger — but that’s only part of the picture. A mailman can be a messenger. These were not mailmen. These were beings who stood before the face of God, thundered at His command, held swords of fire, shaped empires, and brought kingdoms to ruin. To understand angels — really understand them — we have to start by st...
