To love, instruct in Hebrew

 Short Lesson: The Breath of Longing – אהPronunciation Key (Modern Sephardic/Israeli) אָהּ – ʾāh (glottal + open “ah” – like a sigh)

אָהַב – ʾāhav (glottal + “ah” + “hav”)

אֹהֶל – ʾōhel (glottal + long “o” + “hel”)

1. The Core Breath: אָהּ (ʾāh)Meaning: “Ah! / Alas! / Woe!” – a raw exhale of longing.

Picture: A sigh that opens the throat – the first sound of desire, curiosity, or grief.

Concept: אָהּ is the seed of all אה-words – a breathing toward someone or something not yet ours.

2. אָהַב (ʾāhav) – Longing for Family (ב)Root: אָהַב = to love / cherish / desire.

Breakdown: אָהּ = the sigh of longing

+ ב = into the house / family

Meaning: “I sigh to bring you into my home (ב)” → love, marriage, covenant.

Example: (אֲהָבָה) ʾăhāvâ = love – the breath that builds a family.

3. אֹהֶל (ʾōhel) – Longing for Instruction (ל)Root: אֹהֶל = tent / dwelling.

Breakdown: אָהּ = the sigh of longing

+ ל = to teach / toward / authority

Meaning: “I sigh to bring you into my tent (ל)” → for protection, teaching, discipleship.

Father’s Role: The head of the tent breathes instruction into his household.

Example: (אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד) = Tent of Meeting – where God teaches His people.

Revelation For The Preservation Of The Remnant

Chapter 1 The Mark of the Beast Empire The Holy Scriptures were intentionally written in a way so that the impure in heart could read and not understand, but the pure in heart would be able to understand, and through much patience and deep study, with prayer, decipher the hidden secrets within. This is certainly true of Scriptures relating to salvation and is even more true with prophetic Scriptures. This is abundantly true of the subject of the “mark of the beast,'' as mentioned in Revelation 13. In order to understand who are these beast empires, we must learn of the historical kingdoms that were before them and how all the kingdoms related to the people of Yah who are called by His name. I will show just how each of these kingdoms related to the people of Yah and how that applies to the beast kingdoms that would stay in power until the return of Yeshua Hamashiach [Yeshua the Messiah] to establish his kingdom upon the Earth. I've noticed in my communication with other p...

The Stone that crosses over

  ABAR : The Stone That Crosses Over A Hebraic Word-Study on Father, Son, Stone, and Intergenerational Righteousness By @jelyel15 Draft v1.0 – November 06, 2025 Abstract The Hebrew root cluster אב ( Ab , father) → בן ( Ben , son) → אבן ( Eben , stone) → בר ( Bar , son) → עבר ( abar , to cross over) reveals a deliberate linguistic arc: the stone ( eben ) is the covenantal bridge between paternal authority and filial destiny . When the son ( bar ) sees ( ayin ) the father’s sin, he must cross over ( abar ) and build a new house, confessing ancestral iniquity so that it does not cross with him (cf. Ex 34:7 ; Num 14:18 ). This mechanism finds its eschatological apex in the Stone the builders rejected ( Ps 118:22 ; Mt 21:42 ) and the promise that the children of the rejectors will judge their fathers (Mt 12:27). 1. אב | Ab – The Strong Man of the House Letter Pictograph Core Meaning א Aleph Ox head Strength, leader, first ב Beyth Tent/house Household, inside Literal: ...

Hamas, peace?

 Overview of the Trump Peace PlanPresident Donald Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza, unveiled on September 29, 2025, aims to end the nearly two-year Israel-Hamas war through an immediate ceasefire, hostage release, Hamas's disarmament and political exit, and Gaza's reconstruction under international oversight. The plan has been fully endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and welcomed by a broad coalition of global leaders and Arab states (including Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan). It emphasizes a "technocratic" governance model for Gaza without Hamas involvement, leading toward a reformed Palestinian Authority (PA) takeover, but it notably avoids committing to a full two-state solution in the short term, focusing instead on demilitarization and economic revival.The plan's core is framed as a "take it or leave it" ultimatum to Hamas, with Trump warning on October 3, 2025, that rejection would lead...
