Cepher Moments

Is there any way possible to ascertain the dates when all of those things written in the Besoroth (the gospels) actually happened? Is scripture silent or ambiguous to these things? Not at all. Luqas is quite keen on giving us enough information to determine a number of things. For instance, by telling us that Zakaryahu (the father of Yahuchanon the Baptizer) was a priest in the course of Aviyahu,...

Many in the Christian world have questions: Questions about their prayer life such as, how should I address my prayers? Do I pray to Jesus or to God? If it says ask anything in my name, should I use the name of Jesus in closing all of my prayers? What about God? Is he the cruel war god described by so many that we are to avoid? Isn't there a difference between the God of the New Testament and the...

In the world of today, there are those who are critically concerned with their self-identified pronouns – words which are used to clarify to a third person the identity of the person in question. To select and demand a particular pronoun use is to dictate both speech and thought. For some reason, the progressives of today find this to be important. But what of the use of the proper noun? In the wo...

Today we will review a few passages found in the Besoroth (the Gospels) in respect of the authority of the Rabbis, and the words of Mashiach in respect thereof. Does the word "Rabbi" actually appear in scripture? If so, where? And what about the authority of the scribes and Pharisees? What does your bible say? The Brit Chadasha (the New Testament) is the primary work for those of Mashiach, those w...

Today we will take a look briefly at the name Yahuah but more in depth at the name Yahusha. There is a well-known saying among the modern generations: "Haters gotta hate" and few manifest hatred as well as those who hate the Sacred Names. If you agree that there is in fact a name set forth in scripture for the one who created us - our Father - then you might ask yourself the question whether he ha...

A seamless garment - a robe of great value. How is it that this is mentioned in the gospel? Let's take a look at this very curious item and see if we can unfold its mystery.

Join us this evening as we discuss 2023 and the work of Cepher Publishing Group and friends.

As we see the Gregorian year pass behind us in what can only be described as a year of momentous change, many of the friends of the Cepher may have much to discuss. This was a year of upheaval - a time when Pax Americana passed and a multi-polar world emerged; when the faith in American media, American politics and the American dream were shattered on the hard stone of intrinsic corruption, failed...

A mystery abounds in the genealogy of scripture - one that seems to contradict the Torah of Moshe, and one that ultimately leads to the birth of the Messiah and the fulfillment of prophecy. When we look at the law concerning the first born and his birthright, what do we see when it comes to the sons of Ya'aqov? A mystery to be sure. For the curious, not all will be unfolded here tonight, but certa...

The sacrosanct - is it beyond constructive criticism? This issue is before us because a problem exists in English bibles - a problem of significant proportion which places all of the New Testament into suspicion. We have been told many things by the seminary graduates, but are these things true? Should we accept the sacrosanct on the basis of the claim alone? Today we look quickly at the issue of...

How many times have you heard the narrative that mankind was placed here by "the gods" who made man in order to have worker slaves to help them mine gold as they sought their way back home? This narrative has become even more acute in modern times with people claiming that the "aliens" are about to be disclosed and governments are going to admit the presence of extra-terrestrial beings on earth. W...

Have you ever made inquiry concerning the prayer that begins with "Our Father"? Let's take a look at the Cepher version.

Have we arrived at that series of events which leads to a tribulation like no other? Does the scripture speak to any of this? Join us on the Dig, with special guests John Barr, Drew Bolles and Jessica Knock together with host Stephen Pidgeon discussing the Olivet Sermon and its implications in the modern world. All scriptural citations are taken from the Cepher Millennium Edition, available in har...

It seems we have arrived at an Apex of Events, the hook firmly in the jaw, drawing the entire world into a war that will be far more brutal than anything ever seen before on earth. There is little rationalism anywhere to be found, and of course two worldviews are now poised for armed confrontation. But what are those world views? Can we merely summarize as Unipolar versus Multipolar? Or there some...

What can we know, and when can we know it? Is there any truth left in the world? Join us as we discuss some of the things we are handed as truth.

As we enter into a time of the culmination of events sometimes referred to as the end times, one doctrine is espoused within the Christian Church which continues to spark controversy, and this is the doctrine of the pretribulation rapture. The debate between the rapturists is qualified over four predilections: 1) Pre - this group adheres to the idea that just before the Great Tribulation, the true...

For behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says Yahuah Tseva’oth, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. Mal’akiy (Malachi) 4:110 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt th...

There is one fellow who was so controversial in his day that a group of men took an oath that they would neither eat or drink until he was dead; a man who zealousness was well known and whose reputation included many murders and strife; yet who told a story about being blinded and convicted of a truth belonging to those whom he persecuted such that he would dedicate his life toward the delivery of...

The Dig is back! Join Stephen, John Barr, Jessica Knock and special guest Chet Netherly as we discuss the issue of reincarnation, looking particularly at verses in the New Testament in respect of this understanding. Let us not conclude our own understanding - but look diligently to the scriptures to see what is revealed.

The world now sits at the brink of a catastrophic nuclear war, as the fires of conflict have been reignited by the powers of the western Roman church, and the responsive powers of the East. This is not the first time in history that this very same battle has been started. In the time of the Parthian Empire, an understanding was reached between the Parthians and the Romans that the Parthians would...

Have you ever wondered about that phrase - the Land of Milk and Honey? How could that be considered as an attractive place to go, and equally concerning, what exactly is a land of "milk and honey"? This question has plagued me for quite a while, and recently, another question has risen, which is: exactly where is the "land of milk and honey"? Given the names that are given to us in scripture, can...

One of the greatest books of scripture ever written in the prior epoch must be the Cepher Ezra Reviy'iy (4 Ezra also known as 2 Esdras). Canonized as part of the Deuterocanon at the Council of Trent in 1536, the book is quoted directly in the gospels and its references are found elsewhere in the New Testament. One of the visions given here, however, is the vision of an eagle rising out of the sea....

The book of Zechariah (Cepher Zakaryahu) is the prophecy of he who remembers the words of Yahuah, i.e., Zakar-Yahu. We have previously looked closely at Chapters 1-6, and now we will take a look at the rest of this incredible set of prophecies. It seems each chapter reveals something more. Let's take the time to review these scripture anew, reviewing that which is revealed in the transliterations...

Yachiyd is a word found in the Cepher (and no other English text) which makes reference to two names in scripture, both of whom are identified as "only begotten" in the English. But what is the whole story? It is time to look at a new revelation which reveals a gospel message not commonly understood in the circles of the church. Why is Yitschaq singled out as a "yachiyd" and not others? A careful...

When it is first written that Elohiym created man, it is said that he created them, male and female. It is interesting that the word used for male is in the Ivriyt "zakar" which means to mark (so as to be recognized), i.e., to remember; by implication, to mention; in short, to be male. Such is the nature of masculinity. Yet one man was selected to remember the teachings of Yahuah and to set them f...
