#1 Comment on Exodus 33:11
In this verse - 33:11 - the writer is giving you an understanding of the type of relationship Moses had with God.His was a relationship that went beyond the norm - "....as a man speaketh unto his friend." - That was the relationship God desired to have and so in the new testament in Jn 15:15 Yeshuah speaks of the relationship between God and man.
Now in Ex 33:20 - God tells Moses that he cannot see His face and live but that as He passed by Moses would see His 'back parts'. In the 'back parts' is located the back bone ,
which is a symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ.The back bone or the spine contains 33 bones and Christ was 33 years old when He completed the work Abba sent Him to do - the salvation of the soul of man.Therefore the spine or backbone is a symbol of Christ. So we see in Ex 33:20 God was directing Moses to see His Son - also in Jn 14:9 Yeshua tells His desciples that if they've seen Him then they have seen the Father.

I have read John 20:27 over & over trying to find where the nails were driven through his wrist like everyone is telling everyone. They say the human body could not be supported with nails through the palm. Have they forgotten WHO we are talking about?

#5 Comment on Leviticus 16:7
These famous """two 8147 goats, 8163""" are NOT goats AT ALL, and DO NOT correspond to the other famous """two 8147 kids 8163 of the goats 5795""" of Leviticus 16:5 !!!!!!!

Incidentally, it seems that also Leviticus 16:5 has been corrupted by ....... ( I can't tell you, it's politically incorrect) ....... you should intuitively know by now.

Question - But then, what they really are ???????

#14 Comment on John 11:22
There is a big difference between asking God and asking "of" God. Asking God, means that the answer proceeds from His "doing", but asking "of" Him means that the answer proceeds from His "being"... He is a totally giving God (Psa 2:8)

#15 Comment on Leviticus 23:32
see also Genisis 2:1-4 and Exodus 20:8-11
(...remember the Sabbath and keep it holy)
these are eternal commandments not suggestions given by the Eternal Father/ABBA YAHUVEH

In Genesis the Sabbath was established forever as a perpetual command to be on the 7th day, which is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday by YAHUVEH.

Think about alcohol. Is it fine to drink it or not? According to Paul's lesson, prior to the thought of drinking alcohol, we must think of our brothers who may see our behavior. To seek for brothers' soul is to be our most concern over drinking alcohol.

#18 Comment on Psalms 139:14
This is a reality. It does not mean what it does literally considering the word 'fearfully'. The word as used in the text refers to "reverence" and 'wonderful' refers to unique, beautiful, awesome. In other words, we are reverentially and uniquely made. It does not mean we are fearfully made as in, terrifying. God saw that his creation was beautiful. Therefore, as God sees us, we should also see ourselves as beautiful and handsome, with uniqueness and special talents.

#22 Comment on Judges 15:4
It is easier to believe in some ways that Jesus walked on water than to believe what Samuel did, especially if we do not give this careful thought.

Wesley’s commentary says this:

Of which there were great numbers in Canaan. But it is not said that Samson caught them all, either at one time, or by his own hands; for being so eminent a person, and the judge of Israel, he might require assistance of as many persons as he pleased. And it must be allowed, that the God who made the world, and by his singular providence watched over Israel, and intended them deliverance at this time, could easily dispose things so that they might be taken. He chose to do this not by his brethren, whom he would preserve from the hatred and mischief which it might have occasioned them, but by brute creatures, thereby to add scorn to their calamity, and particularly by foxes; partly, because they were fittest for the purpose, being creatures very fearful of fire; and having such tails as the fire — brands might most conveniently be tied to; and not going directly forward, but crookedly, whereby the fire would be dispersed in more places. Fire — brands — Made of such matter as would quickly take fire, and keep it for a long time; which was easy to procure. And put, &c. — That the foxes might not make too much haste, nor run into their holes, but one of them might delay another, and so continue longer in the places where they were to do execution.

1. Let us not assume that foxes are rare in our parts today that the same population density of foxes existed where Sampson was.
These are translated as foxes but are actually jackals. As many as 200 having been seen together, and the most numerous of any in eastern countries; so that Samson might have caught many of them together in nets. Perhaps they travel in large packs to scare up animals and in some cases they will attack animals much larger than themselves if they are in a large troop.

2. It is unlikely that Sampson caught them all – Being a judge of Israel he had at his command the assistance of others. Some commentaters think that Noah was a King in his day. To imagine Noah spending 120 years by himself buiding an large boat is foolishness. Anyone who dismisses such feats of human ability so quickly show how intellectually backward they are. Noah of course employed others to do the work and Sampson probably had others join him as well.

We note that the writer of Judges portrays Sampson differently from any of the other judges in that Sampson acts, it apears, alone. It is doubtful that this was really the case and that is not the writers intent that we assume this act of burning the Phillistine’s fields, was something that Sampson did “all by himself” but the focus is kept on Sampson alone by not mentioning those others who helped him.

3. Sampson did not have them all at one time
4. The Bible is condensed. Sometimes a hundred years is condensed into one verse and the writers of the Bible did not include all the details. The entire lifetime of some people in the Bible is a single sentence (verse) that may tell of an extrodoininary exploit that they did. Try summing up your life into one verse and see how difficult or unbelievable it could seem to others.

The Bible doesn’t say that Sampson necessarily did this in one season, although it does appear that way. It probably wasn’t in one day. Could you believe he did 50 in one week with the help of others over a large territory of the Philistines from Gaza to Sidon? If so, could he not have done 300 over a season or several years?

5. He tied two together, for if there was only one it would go into a hole.
6. Foxes are used because they symbolize how clever Sampson is.


The saying goes that “Truth is stranger than fiction”. Study the amazing things that have indeed happened and I think you can accept that somehow this account is very possible.

Dear John, I think the issue you raised is very interesting and important. In my current walk, I'm of the opinion/belief that the Elect Lady is Mary Magdalene (the same as Mary of Bethany), and that would mean the Elect Sister would be Martha. Just one man's thoughts..

#24 Comment on Psalms 119:1
The word אשרי , the first word of psalm 119 is almost universally translated as "Blessed". However that is a bit of a problem, because we don't usually employ the word "Blessed" in our ordinary non-religious conversations, or even in our non-religious literature. We really don't know the meaning of the Hebrew word אשרי , or of the English word used to translate it, "Blessed". We just have a picture in our minds of someone smiling, with a beatific glow. So the modern translators, looking for a nice convenient single word chose the well-used modern word "happy" Problem. Big problem. If we go to the root of happy, it meant originally, favored by the pagan idol named by the first three letters of that word. Ew. Almost the opposite of the picture of the glowing smiling saint - we have a picture of the head bobbing hedonist who is very happy to have won the lottery. So what of the etymological root of the word אשרי ? The Hebrew root is asher, אשר , which means flat, plain, straight, and upright. אשר also is used as a pointer, an arrow, going directly from one point to another. It is translated as which or that or who. I use the word upright or straight. Praiseworthy is another fairly good translation. But neither of those words gives quite the personal sense of blessed or happy. But surely there is joy, contentment and gladness associated with the status of being upright and straight.

Mallachi 1:11 is about a small group of gentile pple a nation who have the love for True God, however this is a poor country in the east, an isla nation who will bear fruit of faith in the God of abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

#28 Comment on Job 13:14
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. (Psalm 27:2)
Job was not going to join in agreement with his enemy to devour his own flesh or life. Many times when trials come we start agreeing with the enemy instead of believing God and waiting to hear from the Lord.
