Shalom unto You, The relationship between God and His People is commonly referred to as a Marriage Relationship – with His Bride.

Where and how does this fit in with our human / divine relationship with an Almighty, Omnipotent Spiritual Being? […]
Shalom, We have learnt from last week’s Bible Reading (Parashat Terumah) about the Divine Purpose for Mankind – and the Divine yearning of the Creator to live amongst His People by His indwelling of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). Prophecy hints at the astounding idea that this future Mishkan could be the human tabernacles of the Kedushim (Holy Ones) that […]

Shalom Zechariah 8 Why “Ten men of ALL nations,” while there are tenfold more than 10 nations? This is obviously a reference to the Greatest Event of all Time which is now in process, at the culmination of 6000 years of human civilization on earth.
