    genealogy of Jesus?

    Zerubabbel suffers exactly the same problematic genealogy (and also inconsistently recorded as being fathered by either Shealtiel, Pedaiah or Neri) as Jesus, yet we know Zerubbabel was chosen and recognized as God's anointed despite his previously cursed predecessor noted in those verses you...

    Year of release?

    Thank you for this information Samantha. Your comment "...I think the pattern for shemitah years follows the the same principle a day is evening to evening/sunset-sunset. So the year of release begins in the "evening"/ "sunset" of 2014" was like turning on a light for me thank you! It now...

    The Problem of Paul for All Faiths/Outlooks

    Truth speakers confirm God's Law remains intact IS 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Because Jesus spoke truth, he confirmed this LK 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the...

    Year of release?

    Thank you so much for that. My first thoughts on reading your first line of translation was 'oh, that's my job' (since I'm a community carer with a major part of my task being to support primary family carers to ease their load & insulate them ... hence I thought 'guarding the guardians') I...

    Year of release?

    That took me a while! (I'm slow) First thing I noticed was that I need new glasses lol :) As I persisted I finally saw the pattern of same numbers in recurring order just shifted along .... yes, very cool :)

    Year of release?

    Thank you roger1440 and I agree with you that we can enter some rest now ... but working on non-rest days is as much a blessing as rest is on rest days. I believe we were created for both and I appreciate the blessing of both. I now also believe that the land must also have been created for work...

    Sorry for so many questions Levite (I'm ignorant on many issues), but what does "Quis custodiet ipsos custodies?" mean?

    Year of release?

    Part of the season of Yom Kippur & Sukkot involves release When is the year of release please? If it is unknown, can a Jewish panel decide when it may be so it can be practiced? It is surely better to have an incorrect year of release, which God can correct when He chooses, rather than have...

    Recommend a Bible

    Howard's Hebrew Matthew is definitely worth a read. You can print out a downloaded copy. I appreciate Brenton's Septuagint with apocrypha too (have hard copy along with other bibles ... plus have as many alternatives as possible on e-sword program ... always worth checking alternative versions...

    What were the expectations of the Messiah during the first century

    Gabriel's revelation stele from around the time of Jesus seems to support your consideration about this ... I'm assuming the Essenes related to the Dead Sea scrolls and the apocalyptic Gabriel's revelation stele? sorry if I'm off-track

    Questions and Doubts

    You sure have the basics right :) Yes God created everything .... but He created it 'good' ... and yes we have free will and used it to mess up 'good' so must now restore it ... so beyond the basics our purpose is to turn away from being part of the problem to become part of the solution ...

    Ask Zardoz Anything; Redux!

    I hadn't considered that. Thank you Please don't be sorry since we are in the same boat since I'm no expert (or even novice!) in Hebrew and checking that against expert opinion would take time which neither of us has to spare at present. why not ... I'm now diminished and need support :) (of...

    Ask Zardoz Anything; Redux!

    Thank you. Much appreciated a web search didn't help me find any similar considerations but I'm not very good at web-searching What your Rebbi said raises a host of other considerations ... the 1st being the time frame ... the first shabbat had already passed by the time the snake incident...

    Ask Zardoz Anything; Redux!

    Another question if that's ok? Scripture sometimes discusses non-plants as trees eg PROV 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. PROV 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit...

    Thank you for responding to my wonderings. Much appreciated. No need to be sorry. Hope your week out of town was good. I like donkeys & glad there is a rescue resource for them there. Hope your visit there is a blessing. On topic of donkeys needing rescuing, a friend has ponies but no car. Her...

    Ask Zardoz Anything; Redux!

    General questions if that's ok? Many options for redemption are given in scripture, to allow for people not having access to preferred options eg if you don't have a sheep then you can substitute with alternatives eg birds or grain or money etc. Is the Septuagint version of redemption of a...

    Yeshua's death

    For me the whole focus is his life ... he spoke and lived the good news of real life, which is daily self-sacrifice (including the day of his death). Yeshua gave his LIFE for us ... every day. God does not accept human death as a sacrifice. If death was acceptable, then Yeshua could have...
