Time to Rally the Troops
The Enemy is engaged in warfare against the Son of Man. He is hell-bent on destroying the Seed of the Woman — not just the Anointed One (singular man), but the entire body: all of mankind. This war is not just a spiritual war or an attempt to simply destroy the economies of this world or the way our society currently operates, it’s about destroying humans on a personal level — each one of us, and corporately, in our spirit, mind & body. The System is Destined to Fail Honestly, the economy here in America & societal operations-at-large have been destined to fail because they are set up against our…

Coming out of Egypt
I’ve been wanting to do a post on this for a while, and even a video, but I just don’t have the time right now. This will have to do… (I think he did a better job than I would have done.)

Finally Answering the Call
Okay, maybe I’m a little late, but I’ve been debating back and forth with myself over the past year as to how to best carry out my calling at this moment in time. It seems the phone has been ringing for a while now, and I feel a sense of urgency welling up within me to answer it already. I believe those who have wakened in the last year either to the wicked agenda of the powers-that-be, or to the realization that the powers-that-be shouldn’t even be, are likely going to need a bit of direction going forward. And, I believe, there are those who may have already been awake…

Keeping the Feasts of the LORD (YHVH)
Are we supposed to keep the feasts today? There are many who have turned their attention back to Torah in the past decade, who seem to think we, as God’s people, are supposed to be keeping the feasts as outlined in Leviticus 23 in the modern age (post 70 AD). I was one who turned my attention toward them over a decade ago, and even participated in a cross-country journey with my family to a Northwest Sukkot celebration in 2010. but as I continued to study Torah, I realized these appointed times were given within a particular context and needed to be kept in that context. The “holy convocations” or…

Tzitzit: To Wear or Not To Wear Fringes
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. I am the LORD…

Free From the Calendar Debate
I’m so glad to be free from the “calendar” debate! Chasing after the sun, moon and stars to determine when to “appear before the LORD” is so last-year for me. No offense is meant to those searching these things out now. Keep searching — don’t settle on doing what everyone else is doing just because everyone else is doing it. Be able to give a sound reason for why you do what you do. I’ve shared some of my notes on my past calendar study for anyone who might be interested in comparing notes with me. From time to time, I go back and make revisions based on newer understanding,…

When a Day Begins and Ends (Video)
Our modern culture teaches a day is a 24-hour period of time that begins at midnight. Jewish tradition teaches a day is a 24-hour period of time that begins at sunset. But what does the Bible say? Watch this presentation covering the Biblical definition of the day, how long it lasts, when it begins and why it matters.

When is the Start of the Year?
EDITED 1/25/17: See Notes in Red. Recently I received an email that read: I have been thinking about the start of the year and wondered how you determine the beginning of the year using a solar calendar. Here was my response: From what I understand from the Book of Enoch, the years are solar in nature one year with the has months being determined by way of the sun rising in 6 different stations of the sky in the east and setting in 6 in the west (marked by the 12 constellations of the stars), and the moon likely plays a part in telling us which year we are in over a series of years.

When is the Sabbath Day According to the Bible?
This past week at our fall camp-out I did a presentation on what I understand the Torah to be testifying to concerning when the Sabbath days fall out on the 364-day solar year model put forth in the Book of Enoch. It’s been a few years since I discovered this layout, and I’ve been relatively quiet in discussing this subject publicly because I have not been able to reconcile how that model would play out in a modern setting given what we experience with a 365.24 day solar year. However, more recently I’ve been associating with some folks who esteem the 364-day priestly calendar discussed among the Dead Sea Scrolls, and…

Memorializing Passover
Our family is going to be memorializing the Passover event of Exodus 12 tonight, April 3, 2016 after the sun goes down. We’ll be eating lamb and unleavened bread with bitterness, remembering what happened on the night before the great exodus from Egypt in Moses’ day, as well as recalling the event of Yeshua’s death as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. How to Memorialize Passover When we first rejected the idea of celebrating Good Friday and Easter Sunday six years ago, our desire was to simply learn about the Passover because we never paid that much attention to it in the past. But over time, as we met others…
