Yeshua Revealed in Orthodox Jewish Prayer Book for Rosh Hashanah

Yeshua is Sar Hapanim in orthodox machzor

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins in the evening of Wednesday, September 24 2014 and ends in the evening of Friday, September 26 2014.

The Biblical name for this holiday is called Yom Teruah (In Hebrew, literally "day of shouting/raising a noise") or the Feast of Trumpets.

On High Holy Days the Jews read from an orthodox machzor or Prayer Book.

There is a very interesting prayer that mentions the name of a high priest, or kohen gadol, which appears in various older machzors, going back over 100 years…His name is Yeshua. Read More

Middle East Crisis: A Lack of Moral Equivalence!

Middle East lack of moral equivalence

I am well aware that I run the risk of being accused of stating the obvious by saying that there is a crisis in the Middle East. There is nothing new in that statement, yet it bears repeating.

We have moved beyond God, and if the truth be told, the larger public sphere itself is no place for superstition.  Read More

Yeshua is the Lamb of God

Yeshua the Lamb of God

The Lamb of God was predicted in the Old Testament, from the very first lamb that was slain.

From the time in Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve first sinned, their sin needed to be atoned for.

The wages of sin is death.  God, in his gracious love, chose an innocent animal to atone for their sin by shedding its blood.

The animal whose skin was used to cover their nakedness may even have been a lamb.  God may even have sacrificed the animal in front of Adam and Eve.
