Let me begin by saying that there is not a single ethnic group anywhere on this planet known as “Black People,” except here in America! That term is an adjective that was placed upon Our ancestors by the European slave traders because the Europeans did not speak any […]
With the entire world in the midst of a global pandemic, one would think that the chaos and incompitence that’s normally part of everyday operations inside the prisons would become soomewhat organized and structured. Not so….! This Covid-19 crisis has really exposed the ineptness and corruption of the […]
Over the past few weeks we have seen protests take place in numerous cities in the name of social justice. There’s no doubt that racial descrimination exists. There’s no doubt that sexism and agism is alive and well in our “modern” society. But all of these are effects […]
Given the circumstances of this pandemic and much of the world in self-quarantine, it’s my opinion that there is no better time than now for us to do some self-inventory and prioritize our lives. Technology has been a life saver! To be able to utilize social media to […]
Again, turning to the Egyptians our cultural progenitors, another designaton they have for Zion is “Seket Hetepu,” or Field of Peace.

So much has been written concerning the life of Yeshua and his teachings. For example, in a book called Sepher ha-Erets, or Book of the Earth, it is recorded that Yeshua and Thomas had a discussion regarding evil, sin, and iniquity. It is written that Thomas asked Yeshua, […]
Once we move away from the notion of a single Evil Being actng as an antagonist to a single Supreme Being, and who’s responsible for all of the evil taking place in the world, we will be able to get a grasp on the reality of what “ha-Satan” […]
In today’s culture very little emphasis is put on an individual’s purpose in life. Questions such as who am I, why am I here, where did I come from, what can I do, and where am I going, are no longer asked. The result of such lack of […]
The Hebrew word for “character” is “ophi.” It is taken from the root word “aph,” which means “face, appearance, or disposition.” The notion that one’s face, or appearance, can be an indicator of their character is alluded to by Rav Yeshua (Jesus) in Matthew 6:22 where he is […]
All throughout Scripture the believer is confronted with a multitude of names, or titles, of God. Very few of these sacred Names are explained, so the believer reads Scripture without any knowledge or understanding regarding the power of the Names that are being uttered. This state of spiritual […]
“Adam had intercourse with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she named Seth, ‘Because Elohim has granted me other offspring,’ she said, ‘in place of Abel, since Cain has killed him.’ A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This […]
This figure has long since been an enigma. Only mentioned twice in Tanakh (Old Testament) and eight times in the Besorah (New Testament), this personality is a staple in various traditions being we know little about him. Psalm 110 states: “Yahweh has sworn an oath He will never […]
When we go into a relationship there are alot of things that need to be considered. Our selection of a mate will of course have its foundation in physical, tangible attraction. But that is when we are to exhibit the one quality that seperates us from the animals: […]
For hundreds of years every culture that has been exposed to Biblical teachings have interpreted Revelation 13:18 according to their own circumstances and have applied the moniker “the Beast” to whoever it was that behaved as a totalitarian. To most of Eastern Europe, Adolf Hitler was the Beast. […]
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith and have not work? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, ‘Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;’ […]
If we think back, the immigration issue we are having now did not just happen. In the early 1900s it is estimated that close to 9 million Europeans migrated to the United States. Suprisingly, a vast majority of those Eastern European immigrants where deemed undesirable and inferior by […]
I know that when it comes to traditional religion, same sex relationships and homosexuality are immoral practices punishable by death in this life and/or eternal damnation in the afterlife. And to adherents of those traditional religions I ask, “Who are you to judge and condemn anyone?” Yeshua (Jesus) […]
There are various reasons why there is so much violence going on within the prison system. Gang, neighborhood, and city beefs are contributing factors. But the main reason behind alot of the violence that takes place behind these walls is drugs. There is no question that we have […]
Given the moral and spiritual state of our world, is it safe to assume that nothing is as it seems? At one point in our vast human history, “religion” was a tool used to transmit certain truths and to cultivate the Divine Principle within its adherents. So when […]
Everyday I sit and watch the news and I’m constantly seeing senseless acts of violence being committed. Teenagers attacking an individual, severely beating him because of his sexual orientation. A husband murdering his wife and two daughters, all because he wanted to be with his side chick. Not […]
The question I’d like to pose to you is are the “stones” and “buildings” spoken of in Mark 13:1-2 literal stones and buildings? For the answer, read 1Peter 2:5 where it says: ‘Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer […]

In the spirit of Black History Month, I would like to do my part in the dispensation of information. For whatever reason we tend to play it safe when it comes to talking about prominent women and men of color. The same individuals are lauded over year after […]
A few weeks back there was an incident that took place in Washington, D.C. involving some students from Covington Catholic High School and some Native Americans. A video of an encounter between one Covington Catholic High School student and a Native American elder set social media ablaze. Every […]

In the sixteen verses of Matthew 6:19-34, Rav Yeshua (Jesus Christ) gives us some sound advice pertaining to the sort of things we should value (6:21), as well as advisement against us distributing our power among too many spiritual endeavors (6:24). But in Matthew 6:25-33 Rav Yeshua (Jesus […]
In my youth, because of the exmple displayed by my parents and family, I knew what “love” looked like. However, due to my youthful ignorance and inexperience, I did not know “how to love.” I allowed social convention to mislead me as to the proper way to express […]
In mathematics the branch of geometry is said to deal with the properties (i.e. size, shape, and portion) and relationships of lines, surfaces, and solids in space.
