And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will rebuild My assembly and the gates of Sheol will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18, PME) As far too many Bible readers are aware, the claim of Matthew 16:18, as it appears in most English versions, says, “And I […]
Empowered by the Spirit
by Mark Huey The words and instructions shared by Yeshua with His Disciples during the moments steadily leading toward His betrayal, humiliation, and execution—should give today’s Believers great confidence in the Divine work that is expected of them by the Holy One of Israel. After demonstrating the essence of servant leadership, and describing how He […]
Prophets for Hire: A Messianic Plague
by Mark Huey Several weeks ago on the way to our Shabbat services (Summer 2008), I mentioned to my family that with Balak (Numbers 22:2-25:9) being the Torah portion, it would be an excellent time for our congregational leader to address some of the problems associated with immorality in the camp. In light of our […]
Hebrews 8:13 – PME Point
In His saying, “A new service,” he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and ageing is close to vanish away (Hebrews 8:13, PME) Many people in today’s Messianic community, when reading Hebrews 8:13 in a version like the New American Standard Update, are quite aware that the word “covenant” has […]
Peaceful Proclamations
The indwelling power of the Holy Spirit of God is an awesome advantage Believers have, as the Comforter or Helper has been placed into the hearts of the faithful, to lead and teach them what the will of the Almighty is for His Creation (John 14:16, 26). With this reality manifesting itself in a very […]
John 5:18 – PME Point
For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was loosening the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.” (John 5:18, PME) Most versions say something to the extent that “he was breaking the Sabbath” (NIV) or “he was […]
The Rules of Engagement
“Things which are hidden belong to Adonai our God. But the things that have been revealed belong to us and our children forever, so that we can observe all the words of this Torah” (Deuteronomy 29:29, CJB). Since 1995, our family has been committed to a Messianic approach to our faith in Yeshua (Jesus), the […]
TorahScope: V’yeilekh
V’yeilekh And he went “The Importance of Obedience” Deuteronomy 31:1-30 Hosea 14:2-10; Micah 7:18-20; Joel 2:15-27 As the Book of Deuteronomy begins to come to a close, our annual cycle of Torah study begins to wind down.

Departed Family and the Sovereignty of God – September 2019 OIM News
Inevitably, the work of the ministry that we have been called to walk by faith, always seems to be full of unexpected twists and turns—where the Almighty One is consistently teaching us more about Him and His ways, so we might come to know Him even more intimately. For whatever reasons over the past several […]
Acts 23:29 – PME Point
and I found him to be accused about questions of their Law, but having no accusation worthy of death or imprisonment (Acts 23:29, PME) Claudius Lysias wrote Festus, concluding that the Apostle Paul was not worthy of death or prison. He says, as it appears in many English versions, “and I found him to be […]
Circling or Keeping Commandments?
Now this might sound silly, but the obvious fact that one cannot keep the commandments of God unless he or she knows the commandments seems fairly elementary. After all, how can a person keep God’s commandments if one does not know them, or for that matter, has never spent any time reading and studying them? […]
TorahScope: Nitzavim
Nitzavim Standing “Prophecies Here and Now” Deuteronomy 29:9[10]-30:20 Isaiah 61:10-63:9 The events of Nitzavim occur near the end of Moses’ declarations to the Ancient Israelites, and contain some extremely profound prophecies. I believe that we are witnessing the fulfillment of some of these prophecies today. From the creation of the State of Israel in the […]
