Israel on my heart

Seeing the pressure Israel is under right now can be frightening but I know who is keeping the country from extinction.  Can anyone deny the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has his hand over this small country. As much as the world tries to control or annihilate Israel it just becomes a burdensome stone to them and Israel still stands. Zechariah 12:3  "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." Praise G-d! Take heart, G-d has not forsaken his chosen people.  The State of Israel is G-d's standard against the wicked.  One day,  G-d's hand on Israel will lead Israel as a nation to recognize their Messiah just as individual Israeli's  do today.

Comparison of The Tenach and The New Covenant - Out of The Mouths of Babes

Psalm 8: "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger."

compare with

Matthew 21:15 and 16 "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying , Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Yeshua(Jesus) saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"

Comparing The Tenach and The New Covenant

In the comparison of the Tenach and The New Covenant I will begin with fulfilled prophecies and then at times I will also compare the teachings of Yeshua in the New Covenant with the teachings in the Tenach.

Isaiah7:14 "Therefore the L-Rd himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

Compare with

Matthew 1:18-23 "Now the birth of Yeshua The Messiah was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man , and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily, But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the L-RD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name YESHUA: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the L-Rd by the prophet saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is G-d with us."

Since the Tenach was written mainly in Hebrew and The New Covenant was written in Greek some of the same words translate with different spelling. For example Immanuel is translated into English from the Hebrew and Emmanuel is translated from the Greek into English. They are the same word with different spelling because of being translated from two different languages. Yeshua is the same word in Hebrew as Jesus is in the Greek. Since the name Jesus has been so misused by every religion there is, (Every major religion has a Jesus and none of them are the Jesus of the Bible )I have chosen to use the Hebrew name, Yeshua

Comparative Religion Class

Have you ever met someone who has taken a "Comparative Religion" class? It is funny to see a person think they have the corner of understanding on religions of the world after going through such a class. Depending on who the instructor is and his attitude, comprehension and personal beliefs the outcome can be varying with many distorted facts.

I am not about to start a Comparative Religion Class. The problem is every religion in the world is based on "good works" to get a person to "heaven". What a waste of time.My "goodness" or "good works" has no bearing on G-d's righteousness imputed to me when I repented of my sins and had faith toward Yeshua to forgive me of my sins and wash them away with his shed blood on the tree.

What I will start doing for awhile is compare the Tenach and the New Covenant to show their exactness in saying the same thing. The witness of both sets of scripture agree with each other.

Hope you will enjoy the comparisons
