Description
Christianity has obscured the fact that Jesus taught Judaism. This loss is visible in many ways, such as the misinterpretation of many New Testament Scriptures. This book rediscovers the unyielding, even strengthened, commitment to the Law by Jesus and the New Testament authors. With both Bible citations and historical references, this book restores a full understanding of the gospel of the Jewish kingdom. Because Jesus taught Judaism, His followers...

Who authored the most ancient segments of the Bible? What is their age, and how have they endured through the ages? This book delves into the reasons why dictators, tyrants, and powerful factions have harboured such fear and loathing towards these texts, leading to relentless suppression and censorship.

6) The Tree of Knowledge Is Made of Water Not Wood: And his forbidden fruit is the fish, not an apple

Description
I, the Christ "come from above" (St. John 3.31), from heaven, from paradise; where we live in harmony with the animals. I know perfectly well the tree of knowledge and that its forbidden fruit is the fish.
First of all, I said: "I do everything, JUST like what my father did." And if my father in the beginning blessed and multiplied live fish; I will never bless or multiply dead fish.
Second: I represent a Lamb, and we lambs are vegetarians; but...

The books of Jeremiah and Lamentations cannot be separated from the political conditions of ancient Judah. Beginning with the righteous king Josiah, who ushered in a time of glorious but brief religious reform, Jeremiah reflects the close tie between spiritual and political prosperity and disaster, between the actions and heart of Judah and her kings and their fortunes as a nation. While few of us today have any firsthand understanding of what it...

Description
Straight to the point, practical, affirming, convicting-that's the book of James. In it, we see a picture of early Christians wrestling to apply the teachings of Jesus to their everyday lives. And we see a community plagued by divisiveness and hypocrisy, with an emphasis on wealth and status. James pulls no punches addressing these issues, calling for a faith that shows itself in moral actions: in speech, in interpersonal relationships, in economic...

Time has sealed the reputation of Matthew Henry's classic commentary as a rich source of insight into God's word. Four centuries after its first publication, it remains one of the best-loved, most popular commentaries ever written. However, while its wisdom is timeless, the English language has changed much through the years. Words that meant one thing in Matthew Henry's day have taken on different meanings today. In addition, Henry's often wordy...
11) Isaiah

Description
A unique commentary that explores each passage from three vital perspectives: original meaning, bridging context, contemporary significance. Isaiah wrestles with the realities of people who are not convicted by the truth but actually hardened by it, and with a God whose actions sometimes seem unintelligible, or even worse, appears to be absent. Yet Isaiah penetrates beyond these experiences to an even greater reality. Isaiah sees God's rule over history...

The birth of religion started from a simple concept humanity's inability to explain the unexplainable until one added gods to the equation. A Jewish Hebrew scholar not knowing about prior pagan religions and their gods, rituals and stories--would have been like a history teacher today not knowing about history, or a math teacher not knowing about math, or a professor of law not knowing about the law. Because in the end all are considered scholars...

These three short prophetic books of the Old Testament each contain a dual message. On one hand are messages of impending judgment-for all peoples on the Day of the Lord, for an enemy of Israel, and for Israel herself. On the other hand are messages of great hope-of the pouring out of God's Spirit, of restoration and renewal, and of a coming Messiah. Placing judgment and hope together in such a manner may seem paradoxical to a contemporary mindset....

This written work is designed to break down end-time preparation,...

This book contains extremely important information regarding the Holy Spirit that, to my knowledge, cannot be found other than through this Ministry. The Holy Spirit has a particular "Way" that He Works in the hearts and lives of Believers. Unfortunately, most in the modern church world have little or no understanding of that particular "Way." I personally believe this book will also shed some light on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, as well as...
