We are studying the book of John, after a man in solitude in a dessert tent, a non-believer received a visitation by a man in white Linen. He was told to write for 30 days, as the man in linen recited what was later found out to be the book of John. It must be important for these unusual times. So let’s examine John Chapter 5. Jesus went up to the Feast of the Jews in this chapter. Just a little background on feasts. There were 3 feasts which required all Jewish males to come to Jerusalem: Passover ( March/April), Pentecost ( May/June) and Feast of Tabernacles-Sukkot ( September/October. On…

Have you ever wondered who on earth could have built all these megalithic structures found all over the earth like: pyramids, Puma Punku and the Baalbek temple? Perhaps, the dead sea scrolls ancient texts will reveal the startling truth that Giants and Monsters lived on earth. In 1947, near the dead sea , preserved for centuries, amazing ancient texts were found mostly in the ancient languages of Aramaic and Hebrew. 40% of the documents found were copies of Hebrew Scriptures. 30% were ancient non-canonized Jewish scrolls.

Rumors started immediately about Jesus among the Pharisees. Jesus had began teaching, leading and encouraging his followers to baptize Jews like John the Baptist had been doing. When things started heating up, Jesus went home to Galilee ( home), along the way he had to go through a Samaritan town. Samaritans and Jews had a long history of tension. A lot of the tension started in 722 BC, when the Assyrians took the Jews into captivity yet left some of the poorer nonthreatening people behind. These Jews intermarried with settlers of Mesopotamia and Syria. This type of mixing was forbidden according to Mosaic law. When the Jews returned from Babylonian…

Matthew 5: 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. James 1: 2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Meaning: The Holy Spirit Hebrew Translit: Ru•ach Ha•kó•desh The word “ruach” appears for the first time in Gen. 1:2: (…and the spirit of God…). This word also means “wind.” The word “kodesh” comes from the word “kadosh” that means “holy.” ( Holy Spirit) Ru•ach Ha•ko•désh is mentioned 55 times in the New Testament. In the Old Testament it is mentioned 23 times, but in a different form: “Ru•ach Adonai,” the Spirit of God. In John Chapter 3, we see Nicodemus, a Pharisee had a stirring within him to know Yahshua, to quietly and discretely seek his teaching. The Messiah told him, ” I tell you the truth, no one can…

Matthew 4: 19: 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Takeaway: To follow is much deeper than claiming Jesus as your personal savior. Even the word “belief” is a deeper statement than just verbally acknowledging. We are to study the word, teach others the truth, share ” God Wink” stories, share our testimonials and lead by living holy lives. 1 Peter 1:15: ” But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in ALL conduct. We should have compassion for others, caring for people by caring for them physically and spiritually. The Father has a special place in his…

John 14: 27: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 16: 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew 25-26 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than…

With the water to wine story, we see symbolism with the ritual purification jars”living water” becoming wine like the blood of Yahshua. We know that his blood eternally purifies us. This Passover, let us break bread and drink wine daily, in remembrance of what he told us to do on that last Passover week. The water jugs that were used were actually jars that housed used what was known to be living water used for washing rituals. The servants had gone to drawn this “living water.” The ritual washing symbolized becoming spiritually clean or holy, not physically clean. The Gospel of John records that the six stone water jars contained…

Matthew 4: 17: ” From that time on Jesus began to preach, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near. “ Luke 13: 3: “I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Life Application: When you read scriptures around Luke 13: 3, you see that everyone is a sinner and no sin is worse than others. We should not measure our own sins against those of others, thinking we are better than or safer. He goes onto to say that he will leave us alone, for a time, allowing us time to repent, change and love him. Then, when that time is over, those who…
