Hadavar The Word Of

This book is a temporary Volume IV in a four-volume set on Messianic Judaism by scholar Daniel Perek. It is an English translation of the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament, and will soon be accompanied by a Hebrew translation of the same. The goal of this New Testament is to put the Aramaic Peshitta text back into its cultural context as much as possible linguistically, by transliterating Hebrew names and other words, and looking more closely at the translation of certain words and concepts. It is the author’s contention that the Aramaic texts preceded the Greek NT texts, and that this version will help readers see some of the reasons why. Namely, the use of the Name, ???? , or ???? in the Aramaic, would not be so strategically used in an Aramaic translation from the Greek as it is in the Aramaic Peshitta texts, so one can easily see the Name as it was used by Yeshua and His Talmidim (Disciples). Further, the Name “Yeshua,” ????, the given, human name of the Messiah, is affirmed as Yeshua in the Aramaic Peshitta texts, and is seen readily within this volume. The Hebrew translation will be completed shortly, offering the same and more to the Hebrew reader.

"The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails well fastened are those that are composed in collections; they are given from One Shepherd. And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of the making of many books there is no end..." Kohelet 12:11-12a

This book examines the tales of three remarkable figures of the biblical world: the tragic prophet Jeremiah, and the two atypical prophets Jonah and Balaam. Jeremiah was cursed from birth and condemned to a lifelong losing battle against national disaster. Jonah was notorious for his connection with a whale, whereas Balaam was best known as the owner of a talking donkey. Yet these prophets (servants of their deity) are portrayed as rebels against their god. This book contends that these tales, beyond their intrinsic appeal as stories, were written to serve as metaphors. Although set in ancient times and in the exotic Near East, the issues that underlie these gripping tales are not unfamiliar to modern times and Western lives. These prophets represent "everyman" and these unusual dramas explore the phenomenon of revolt against restrictive conditions and against authority.

In The Beginning of the World in Renaissance Jewish Thought, Brian Ogren deeply analyzes late fifteenth century Italian Jewish thought concerning the creation of the world and the beginning of time.

HaDavar, D’var ????, or “The Word of Yah,” is a new translation of the scriptures. The source text for the Tanak, or “Old Testament,” is the Masoretic Hebrew.

This four-volume set contains the Hebrew version of the Tanak from the Masoretic text, and a new English translation of those texts, with transliterations for Hebrew terms in an English-friendly tone. The author’s purpose is to give a more accurate, Hebrew/Jewish rendering of the texts, without giving up the beauty of Scripture for the English reader. Volume 4, The Brit Khadashah, is coming soon.

The book of Jonah remains an engaging part of the religious lives of Jews and Christians. On the human level, the dramatic story speaks to us of the possibility of second chances in our lives. On the spiritual level, it describes the paths an individual and a people can take leading them back to God.Medieval Jewish commentaries unfold new perspectives of meaning beyond the surface of the biblical text. In explaining the verses of the book of Jonah, the commentators explore many core topics, including human nature, our relationship with God, the interaction of Jews and gentiles, and the meaning of our lives. This book offers the first full English translation of the commentaries of Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Kimchi, Abarbanel, and Malbim. It also provides an explanation of their comments, making them accessible to contemporary Western readers. Until now one needed a high level of Hebrew to explore these works. Go to Nineveh opens this world to the modern English reader. The book also includes the author's own modern commentary, considering questions not raised by earlier commentators.

At a reception in the Kremlin on November 17, 1956, Nikita Khrushchev made a startling comment aimed at America: “Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!” The break-up of the USSR in 1991 was hailed by the West—especially America—as a victory over communism and its global threat of tyranny. Throughout the world the cry was heard: “Communist rule is over! The evil empire is gone!” But was it? In The Babylon Code: Is AMERICA in Prophecy? author Richard N. Rhoades examines the writings of Russian dissidents and high-ranking communist military leaders to explain the real reason behind Khrushchev’s angry outburst and to illustrate why Russia is more dangerous today than ever before. His research reveals a long-range KGB strategic plan for global domination, known among some of the highest ranking Communist military defectors to the West. Rhoades also explores the real reason Russia is now flexing its muscles to the United States and the world, and what the ancient Hebrew prophets said about a great latter nation in the Bible code-named “Babylon,” whose real identity is mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures not once but twice as “AMERIKA” (AMERICA). The Babylon Code offers a well-researched, in-depth look at the causes of these threats and actions, viewing Russia, America and its Jewish inhabitants with a new perspective.
