Shalom everyone! I have been waiting three years to post this very special series YESHUA’S DEATH AND THE DOUBLE WITNESS PATTERN and now that wait is over as I took time to verify everything I spoke on in 2019 on this topic. What is the precise year Yeshua died and how can we know the true interval between crucifixion and resurrection? The answers herein are astonishing. From a once in a thousand year rare astronomical event that happened the month Yeshua died to the latest in Hebrew and Aramaic research and a deep dive into Tanakh prophecy, this answer is far more majestic and massive than it might otherwise appear. I literally had to re-do 20 years of previous research and start over–again–to find a complete answer that takes every Scripture reference on this subject into account. Prepare for some shocks along the way as we see where this journey takes us all! Also, what I called “RCSB” at the time of filming is now known as the Apostolic Writings, which I hope will be coming out in a few months and will announce when I know more. Enjoy!
Shalom everyone! Ever since we did the two-part Star of Bethlehem videos, I have also wanted to spend more time on Luke and the census of Quirinius, which I only touched on briefly there. Out of that same vein of research then comes this two-part investigation, exposing the lies of biblical skeptics once and for all! See clear proof that Luke knew about both censuses, the one in the final years of Herod the Great and the 6 CE one led by the rebel Judas. See also how Josephus does in fact give all the historical background needed to prove a census happened in 6 BCE as punishment for Herod lying to Emperor Augustus. We will also look at genuine historical inscriptions about Qurinius proving he served as ruler in Syria on at least two and possibly more occasions. If you love defending the Scripture, this series is definitely for you! Enjoy!

From the pages of Genesis to Revelation, no feast has more clues about its prophetic approach than Hanukkah. This so-called “optional” feast that Jews keep though it is not in Tanakh and most Christians do not keep though it is in Yochanan 10, is one important enough to Yeshua that he went 90 miles in the rain and mud to get to Jerusalem, knowing he would get in and argument and yet proclaimed to the Pharisees, “I and my Father are one.” Join the journey to see Hanukkah also foreshadowed centuries in advance by Nehemiah and others. Keep Reeding
Here is another video in the series I did for Channel 24. On this installment, my first one back in December 2017, I talk about “The Jewish Messiah: Function and Identity” which shows that Torah is the way to a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with Yeshua the Messiah. Enjoy!
The 2023 Sukkot Special concludes with Volume 2, where we do a deep dive into the mysteries of the Nativity and Star of Bethlehem. This one is so massive I actually ran out of time with some features in the Notes, including an archaeological update on the City of David and the latest cutting edge research on special Sukkot events throughout history, but these features are still in the Notes to explore. Enjoy! Keep Reeding
Welcome to the Feast that is so enormous it is significantly foreshadowed in Genesis, given separate but inter-related titles in Exodus, stamps its force of personality throughout the Hebrew Bible and takes up more than 2 large chapters in the Gospel of Yochanan with even more allusions in Revelation. This is the most majestic feast of them all which may, in my opinion at least, hold the greatest of clues regarding when Yeshua the Messiah is coming back. Don’t miss this one!
Please note: Last week you may recall the word “type something” came below the video for some strange reason. I checked the setting in Logitech and was able to remove it, but then this week I faced another issue where a portion of the bottom of the screen for these videos got cut off. I did fix this too, but unfortunately not in time for these videos. Next week however we should have everything back to normal. Thank you for your patience!
From a deep connection to Noah’s Flood to the deepest mysteries and prophecies in the book of Revelation, Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement was and is the most sacred moment of the entire year! Explore the deep connections for yourself and have a great fast!
Chag Sameyach and welcome to the start of our wonderful fall feast season! We kick off this very special month of Tishri with Yom Teruah, the day of shofar blasting, the seventh new moon of the year and a day that may actually point to the Second Coming of the Messiah. Explore the connections between that and the rabbinic Rosh Hashanna, from from the creation of Adam in Genesis to the deepest patterns of Revelation, Yom Teruah covers it all! There is also a special archaeological update towards the end. Enjoy!
Blow the shofar 100 times for Yom Teruah! Here’s how…
Please Note: I just wanted to get this out there: Yes, it is true, I forgot to wear my kippah in video 1 and remembered before video 2. No theological message is intended–chalk it up to me being in a hurry.
As we get further in to the special month of Elul, this is a perfect time to reconnect with our biblical legacy and dive deep into what the men behind the Scrpture actually went through to bring their Words to us. While at the Tabernacle of David synagogue in Burnsville Minnesota earlier this month, I was privileged to deliver a two part audio teaching called “The Five Prophets.” I chose these exceptional men because to tell their extraordinary stories links us not only to nearly all the other prophets in Scrpture, but also to the kings of Judah and Israel that they labored under, sometimes cooperatively but often in life and death opposition. Part 1 covers Isaiah and Jeremiah, while Part 2 focusses on Ezekiel, Elijah and Elisha. But 1F1PM members also get exclusive access to my notes, which was not in the original teaching. Enjoy!
While 2024 is a “disruption year” with the rabbis being a month late, we have all the tools you need to navigate the confusion and maybe celebrate twice the feasts for twice the fun! Get the full details of what to expect and make the best choice possible for you and your families. Enjoy! Also, as long as you are here, you might want to also check out my latest free teaching “The Five Prophets” on mp3 and including my teaching notes. It’s at the bottom half of the home page.

Welcome to the 2023 Shavuot Special! Explore the deep connection of this very special Great Feasts, with the giving of the Ten Commandments and the stunning events in Acts 2. Also find out which famous miracle of Yeshua has a special connection to Shavuot that most folks don’t even know about. Enjoy!
Please note: Video #3, for unknown reasons, was recorded at a higher volume level than the others. Sorry for any inconvenience, that you may have to play this video at a slightly lower volume!
From the upcoming Chukkat parsha, here is a special teaching about the deep links between the Eternal Torah Calendar, Moshe and Yeshua the Messiah! The math patters derive from a 1447 BCE Exodus, that being 480 years before Solomon’s 4th year, when he began building the Temple on the 2nd day of the 2nd month of Ziv/Iyar (1 Kings 6:1, 2 Chronicles 3:1-2). Solomon’s 4th year is derived as 967 BCE by three different dating methods: 1) Counting backwards from Hezekiah’s 14th year which is marked by a solar eclipse that happened February 25th Gregorian in 702 BCE (2 Kings 20:9-11); 2) According to Pharaoh Shishak’s tomb walls his invasion of Judah was in his 20th year or 926 BCE (Dr. Ian Shaw, Oxford History of Ancient Egypt, p. 481) so we count 41 years back from that time of Rehoboam’s 5th year, which brings us also back to 967 BCE; and 3) The excellent chronological research of Edwin Thiele and Leslie McPhall (The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings), which accounts to co-regencies and the different time keeping methods in Kings and Chronicles. The main topics are:
*Working 9 to 5: The first pattern suggests that when arranging the one biblical age of 4,000 years (3901 BCE to 100 CE), that is from the creation of Adam to the death of the Apostle Yochanan on Patmos, it is helpful to divide that age by 10 into 400 year long eras. From there each 400 year long era can be divided into 10 40 year generations.
*Among those 400 year long eras, the 5th (2301-1901 BCE) and the 9th (701-301 BCE) represent times of hardship and severe judgment, regarding Noah’s Flood (2245-2244 BCE) and the destruction of Solomon’s Temple (586 BCE) respectively. This suggests that neither 9 nor 5 by themselves are problematic but we need to beware when the two numbers come together for a particular event.
*Judgment Comes in Sixes: Whenever Father YHWH has decided that His grace has run out, the next Shemittah group will not reach its seventh year but will instead face judgment in Year 6, so the very next spring the land can get her sabbaths back. We track three such occasions of Year 6 judgments: The Assyrian invasion and captivity of the Northern Tribes (722 BCE), the Great Purge of King Josiah against paganism in Judah (622 BCE) and the destruction of Solomon’s Temple (586 BCE) were all sixth years according to the Eternal Torah Calendar[1].
*Sometimes Time is Zeroed Out: This concept has two applications. First, when it comes to math calculations, the last day of any cycle (generation, era or age) always resets to zero on the last day of that cycle at sunset. The math does not continue, so the error never builds up to throw off the timing. The second application is that when you have lost time because of wickedness, when that time is put back through punishment, the math cancels out. So when seventy land sabbaths were missed over a 500 year period, once the seventy years of Babylonian captivity were over, time resumes as if there was no violation.
*Nativity Timing and the Destruction of the Second Temple: Yeshua is born a year after the completion of the 28th Jubilee (7 x 4, or perfection times foundation) or Year 1 at the start of #29. The 29th Jubilee runs from 6 BCE to 45 CE spring to spring, so in 45 CE 29 is completed. From that time to the destruction of the Second Temple on day 9 of month 5 which is 29 days long (Av) gives us a remainder 5.31 months. If we treat the passage of all the Jubilees then from the entrance to Canaan to 45 CE as a whole number (29) and add 50% completion of 25 years (spring of 45-spring of 70 CE) plus the remainder of 4 months and 9 days of the 29 day month of Av in 70 CE (126 days of 365), .34, the total comes out to 29.53, which is the precise average length of a lunar month (29 days, 12 hours 44 minutes and half a second). So thinking about how Father Yah’s time is different for Him than for us such as in Psalm 90, the entire period from 1406 BCE to 70 CE is experienced as a single lunar month.
[1] Also, not mentioned on the video, there was a shemittah (or would have been if the Temple had not been destroyed) in 137 CE, making 136 CE a a year 6. This corresponds to the final crushing defeat of the Bar Kochba Revolt which ended in January of 136, and the aftermath dragged on well past that spring, the start of Year 6.
