English Hebrew Bible

In our politically unstable day of "wars and rumors of wars" (Mark13:7), we can all understand the quest for stability. But there is only one source of rock solid security. There was a time for rules and sacrifices. Then Christ came as the perfect, spotless Lamb to atone for sin once and for all. Respected pastor Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe will show you that by focusing on the reality of the unseen first, an overwhelming desire for intimate friendship with God will follow.

The book of Hebrews is a General Epistle (Apostolic Letter). It was written mainly to the Hebrew believers. The author is anonymous, although either Paul or Barnabas was traditionally accepted as the author. It was written approximately 67 A.D. Its purpose was to present the Lord Jesus Christ as perfect and superior in comparison to anything Judaism and the old covenant had to offer. The author was writing to a group of Christians who were under intense persecution and some were contemplating a return to Judaism.

Some people believe questioning the Bible, the direction God is going, or even God himself, is blasphemy. Some think it’s a sign of disbelief. Daniel Thornton is one such man. He believes his son, Rusty Thornton, is lost without God and takes him to a faraway place in the early 1950s near Spicewood, Texas, where he would never come in contact with people. He has an old King James Version of the Bible and began to try and cure his son’s affliction of skepticism.

There is a resounding call in Hebrews that we cannot forget without going astray: "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach" (13:13). This is a summons to serve Christ the Redeemer-King fully and faithfully, without compromise. In our time, it calls for a break, not only with the prevailing culture of humanistic statism and its messianic claims and pretensions, but also a wayward church that has made itself the handmaiden to Christ's enemies.

Jacob and Solomon were polygamists. Tamar and Rahab were prostitutes. What are polygamists and prostitutes doing on the pages of holy scripture? And God told the prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute. What about Cain - did he really marry his sister? Abraham did, and he was also a polygamist. Lot offered his daughters up for rape, David committed adultery (or rape?), and the Bible calls both men righteous. Love, Old Testament style, was bizarre.

Anybody can explain to you what certain passages of the Bible mean and how they apply to your daily life. However, not too often do you see it in a simple language that the average, common, 9-to-5 person can understand. The best part is, though, that the perspective comes not from a theologian or minister like other Christian books, but from an average Joe, or in this case, Jake, who happened to be inspired to write something for the average person.

Shalom, friends! Let's start a journey. A journey into the incredible and fascinating world of Biblical Hebrew. What would it be like to speak the language of Adam and Eve, Moses and Joshua, King David, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Yeshua (Jesus)? Yes Yeshua!

We are imperfect, but we are perfectly loved because we are God’s child. He wants to heals our hurts, remove our shame, and calm our fears. Like Mephibosheth, we don’t need to hide in a low place like Lo-debar, because our king wants to raise us high.

In Ephesians 3:9, the Apostle Paul instructed the followers of Christ “to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery.” Here is Tom Barnes’ answer to those instructions.

This audiobook is for all seekers who wish to understand the life and works of Rav Sha’ul, Yeshua the Messiah, and the possible role of Barabbas, from within the context of true Biblical Judaism and the times on which they lived, I wish to say that while this is a work of historical fiction, based upon some true facts, the story has been dramatized and certain traditions brought to life as facts, as well as adventurous but fictitious incidents in the lives of the main characters, in order to place the people back into the Jewish culture from which they came.

According to polls, less than half of all Americans can even name more than four of them. For most of us, agnostics and faithful alike, they have been relegated to the level of a symbol, their teachings all but forgotten.
