John 9:1-4. As Yeshua passed along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His talmidim asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned -- this man or his parents -- to cause him to be born blind?" 3 Yeshua answered, "His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God's power might be seen at work in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must keep doing the work of the One who sent me; ...  Read More

Yeshua spoke to the multitudes and His Talmidim in parables!  This was a Messianic Prophecy concerning Mashiach, it was spoken of in the Psalms:Psalm 78:1-2.  A maskil of Asaf: Listen, my people, to my teaching; turn your ears to the words from my mouth. 2 I will speak to you in parables (mashal {maw-shawl'}: proverb, parable, ethical wisdom) and explain mysteries from days of old.Yeshua’s parable...  Read More

Such a momentous event that has changed time! Before you judge me hear me out for a moment. This time of year, I listen to the holiday channel on Sirius Radio.  I lov...  Read More
