There is much evidence to confirm that the Gospel of Matthew was written in Hebrew and with this understanding has come a good bit of revelation of what Yeshua was really saying.

Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication, is the celebration of the Hebrews rededication of the temple after it was desecrated by the Syrians while God kept the “perpetual light” lit for eight days with only one day’s worth of oil. Yeshua is the light of the world and the perpetual light in our lives. This isn’t just a Jewish folk tale. There is much to be learned of Him to inspire us in the Hanukkah story.

The words “as a Jewish and democratic state” are an addition to the traditional pledge.

When Sid’s guests talk about the power of God descending upon a meeting, isn’t that the same “energy” that New Age meetings often experience? One man wrote with this concern, being wary that some supernatural experiences or teachings may be more of the devil than God, more New Age than Christian.
