 | Revisiting the Ancient Hebrew Meaning of ''Fasting'' |
Fasting: Appealing for God’s Mercy and Justice
by Ed Nelson
In Genesis Rabbah XXXIII:3 a story is told about the Jewish people fasting during a severe drought:
In the days of R. Tanhuma [fourth century], Israel had need of a fast [for the severe drought] so they went to him and requested: “Master, proclaim a fast.”
He proclaimed a fast, for one day, then a second day, and then a third, yet no rain fell.

| The New Wine of the Scribes and Pharisees |
Did Yeshua (Jesus) Reject Traditional Law?
by Ed Nelson
The esteemed, late Jewish professor, David Flusser, in his book, Jewish Sources in Early Christianity (MOD Books, 1989) suggests that Yeshua (Jesus) did not do “away with the rulings of the Sages and [thereby] put an emphasis only on the Written Law” (p. 23).

Did Yeshua (Jesus) Ever Speak the Name “Yahweh”?
A Study of Matthew 27:57-67
by Ed Nelson (www.ed-nelson.com)
The question whether Yeshua (Jesus) spoke the name Yahweh is commensurate with the question of whether He, according to his critics, committed blasphemy.
These two questions go together.
Due to the first century Jewish understanding of blasphemy as speaking the ineffable Name, i.e, by law, the unutterable Name outside prescribed boundaries, if He did one, then, in the eyes of his judges, He did the other.

| Take the Poll |
Are We in a Famine of the Word?
What do you think? Is a famine of the Word of God real today? Is biblical illiteracy a real problem among the general population, educators, leaders and, even, in the churches?
Is the prophet Amos' concern for his day your concern for our day?
“Behold, days are coming,” declares my Lord Yahweh, “when I will
send a famine on the land, not a famine for bread or a thirst for
water, but rather for hearing the words of Yahweh. People will
stagger from sea to sea and from the north even to the east. They
will go to and fro to seek the word of Yahweh, but they will not
find it. (Amos 8:11-12)
Your turn now. The poll is located on the lower left column.

Clean and Unclean: A Lost Emphasis
by Ed Nelson
Part Three: The End of the Matter
In this final installment on the biblical subject of “clean and unclean,” the role of the Messiah Jesus [Yeshua] comes front and center in his work of “filling up” the Torah and fulfilling the hope found in the Prophets and Writings (the Tanakh, or Old Testament).
