Turning Tables     Here in Egyptalon, it's a language issue. The Hebrew language. One day, the tables will turn:   “For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the LORD and serve him with one accord.” (Zephaniah 3:9)   This echoes the three principles of the fall moedim, which are a step of sorting the sealed righteous from ...

...That's All She Wrote   Have you ever written a book? Or thought you might? It seems like a good idea until you start trying to put the words on the page. Or laptop. Everyone has the material to write a book, but not everyone will take the time to write it.   The truth is that every single human being has written a book, is still in the process of writing it, or will write it when they are born....

The King's Authority, Angels, and Demons   Last week, we examined the prophetic value of waving and shaking the lulav:   •      With the lulav, we call home the exiles from all directions of the earth to the sukkah. They are called to their Kingdom assignments, their reward, and to further repentance. •      First fruits offerings and those consecrated for service are typically waved •      Is 13:...

What You Did for the Greater Exodus   When is the best time to plan for Sukkot?   Immediately after Sukkot!   There’s not much chance of a smooth eight days next year if you’re not already working on your calendar and negotiating the days off. One thing’s for sure...if you bumble and stumble through a feast, the kids and grandkids are watching. What must they think? Their friends’ parents put up t...

  Wee the People   Did you have to memorize the preamble to the Constitution in school?   "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution...”   I never h...

The Bride's Wilderness Laundromat The wilderness journey brings up all sorts of practical questions. Practical questions often lead to impractical, but not impossible, answers. Although the Israelites looted the Egyptians, it is unlikely that the garments lasted for forty years in the harsh desert. How did they keep up with the laundry? What about the children born who would need clothes of their...

The Wild Kingdom As we approach the High Holy Days, we prepare to read a passage of Scripture on The Feast of Trumpets called The Akeidah. It refers to the binding of Isaac. A key verse is this:   Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering? Abraham said, “God wi...

Rise Up Come Down, Jerusalem (Part 2 of Charm School)   The haftarah (reading from the Prophets) supplies our study this week, a continuation from "Charm School" of the Torah portion Vaetchanan. It is Isaiah 51:12-52:12. Verses and 1 and 2 supply our question and answer: Does Jerusalem, the Bride, arise at the resurrection or does she descend to be seated (dwell)?   YES!   First one, then the othe...

Charm School Have you ever seen something in a Judaica catalog or shop that made you scratch your head? Symbols are always a hot topic in our circles, and often the discussions are full of extremes. In our quest to be willingly obedient to the Word of Adonai, sometimes it's obvious we never went to charm school. Or charm and symbol school.   Frank Houtz, may his memory be for blessing, did an exce...

Dog Food Your lips, my bride, drip honey; Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.   The Torah, the Word of Adonai, is compared to milk and honey. The more we learn, the more we do. The more we learn, the more we can speak with spiritual intelligence.   Midrash Rabbah 4§22 says:   If one can make his words pleasing like honey and mi...

The Filling Station When I was around four years old, my aunt borrowed my dad’s work truck, probably to carry a load of tomatoes to market. If you’ve never had a freshly-picked southwest Arkansas-grown Bradley tomato, you don’t know what you’re missing.    My Aunt Frances took me along, and she pulled into a filling station to get gas. For those of you too young to know what a filling station is,...

That Day You Went Missing   That's not like you.   He wasn't himself.   She's having a bad day.   Ever say that to or about someone?   After the beloved Miriam's death, the gracious Moses and Aaron go missing:   And the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh. And Miriam died there and was buried there. Now there...

A Tried Bride In Creation Gospel Workbook Five Volume Four (Bamidbar), students are challenged with the following exercise:   Draw a circle on a sheet of paper, but don’t close it. Inside write all the gifts, abilities, and characteristics that you KNOW are completely you. Don’t write what you’d like to be or do, but what you already know describes you. Let the circle sit for a few days or even we...

  A Wedding of Words Part Two     Recap: Each year, it is traditional to read the scroll of Ruth at Shavuot. We might say the three scrolls of Ruth, Esther, and Song of Songs are the Bridal Scrolls of return from exile.   What happened to Israel in leaving Egypt at Pesach is what happened to Ruth in leaving Moab and arriving at the House of Bread (Beit Lechem) at Pesach. The Israelites left Egypt...

A Wedding of Words Ruth's One-Way Flight   Each year, it is traditional to read the scroll of Ruth at Shavuot. We might say the three scrolls of Ruth, Esther, and Song of Songs are the Bridal Scrolls of return from exile.   There are many wonderful ideas about why Ruth commemmorates the giving of the Torah in addition to the story's setting, the time between the first fruits of the barley harvest...

Nahum 1:15 15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; Pay your vows. For never again will the wicked one pass through you; He is cut off completely.   Please  SUBSCRIBE  to our newsletter to get new teachings.

Gardener's Guide to the Tree of Life Days of Elijah Preparing the Bride     She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast. (Pr 3:18)     The Torah is a tree of life, and obeying it is the path to fruitfulness. This fruitfulness deepens the relationship, stitching earth to Heaven, where the roots of the Tree extend upward. After all, our eyes really see th...
