The Miracle That Is Israel, The Apple of God’s Eye – Take #2
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens initially, followed by Carlson’s interview with Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, have blown wide open the issue of antisemitism as it relates to the ‘Church.’ The word ‘church’ itself is a misnomer, but I will use it since it serves as the unwitting baseline for those identifying as Christians, among whom…

Psalm 15: Repose in the Presence of the Lord Reserved for the Pure in Heart
1 :יהוה מִי-יָג֣וּר בְּאָהֳֳלֶךָ מִי-יִשְׁכֹן בְּהַ֣ר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ Yahwah, who sojourns/dwells in Your tent?

Psalm 14: “The Fool Has Said In His Heart, ‘There Is No God’.”

Psalm 12: Yahwah’s Pure Word Will Prevail Against the Haughty Assuredness of the Wicked
The Psalmist gives hope to the one trusting Yahwah’s Word in the face of the lies, half-truths, and the resulting hypocritical behavior of the wicked. Yet, at the same time, however, he paints a two-fold bleak picture of 1) the disappearance of men of steadfastness and loyalty and 2) the oppression and violence suffered by…

This study of Psalm XI is based on my translation reflecting the Psalm’s syntax and punctuation. Franz Delitzsch’s commentary on the Psalms has been used as a reference. ביהוה |חסיתי איך תאמרו לנפשי נודיו הרכמ וצפור In Yahwah | I have trusted how will you (pl.) say to my soul flee* your (pl.) mountain bird[s…
