Post author By Richard
Post date July 5, 2008

This discussion is â€œmeat in due season,â€ because a noted Messianic teacher has written a couple of articles strongly questioning the canonicity of the Book of Hebrews.

Post author By Richard
Post date September 13, 2007

Richard Agee explains that the Day of Blowing Trumpets, commonly known as Rosh Hashanah, is the start of the cycles of seven found throughout the Bible referring to “rest” (the Hebrew words for both “rest” and “seven” are similar): seventh day of the week is the day of rest, the Shabbat (Gen. 2:3; Ex. 20:8-10); every seventh year the land must rest (Ex. 23:11); seventh group of seven years, or the Jubilee (Lev. 25).
