Genealogies: Dry Lists Or Exciting Reading?

Genealogies: Dry Lists Or Exciting Reading?

Have you ever found yourself skipping over a biblical genealogy and thinking, “Why do we need all these dry lists?” The Bible is full of genealogies, and even the most diligent readers sometimes skip them.  These lists might, indeed, seem dry to us, but in fact, they are very important because they prove the historical […]

Israel, Isaac, And The Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb! “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”[1] What believer in Jesus doesn’t know these words from the Book of Revelation?

The Lessons Of Exodus

The Lessons Of Exodus

My dear readers, another month has passed, and we are still in this war; as a dear friend of mine wrote a couple of months ago – and unfortunately, these words are still relevant today, with no end in sight. I think it is now time to go back to the regular themes of this […]

Reading Genesis In Hebrew: Hagar, Moses And More.

Capital Letters The High Holidays are upon us, and my upcoming posts will be dedicated to the Fall Feasts. This month, however, I can still indulge myself with my favourite topic: showing my readers the hidden gems of the Hebrew Scriptures, the amazing things that are lost in translation.
