Spiritual Reflections and Torah-Based Writing
Faith-Based Essays and Religious Nonfiction
These reflections introduce themes I explore more deeply on Substack, where my full essays and weekly writings live.


The Divine Algorithm: The Rule Of 6 and 7
It is said that the earth is billions of years old. Perhaps that is so; but what does that have to do with us? From a spiritual standpoint, the counting and passage of time as it relates to Yahuah’s interactions with mankind, clearly began with His creation of Adam, and the world he created for him, and subsequently us. Going forward, the counting and passage of time is documented in heaven as it relates to Adam, the children of Adam, and most specifically, the Son of Adam, a

The Feast Of Unleavened Bread
The Feast of Unleavened Bread, or as some prefer, the Feast of Matstsah, is often overshadowed by the Pesach. There is an influence that often has the two feasts lumped together into one observance, labeling the entire eight day observance as the Pesach. This should not be done. They are in fact, two different Appointed Times, representing two different aspects of Yahusha's mission on earth. The Pesach is a memorial of Yahuah's judgement of the gods of Egypt by, killing

First Fruits & Wave Sheaf Offering: Yahuah Yireh
In Israel, the first harvest of the spring is barley, the grain associated with the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Wave Sheaf, and the First Fruits Offerings. As an offering, it was tied in sheaves and brought to the High Priest to be 'waved' before Yahuah as the ‘First Fruit’ of the Spring harvest. The sheaves were to be the very best of the entire crop; and the commandment required the offering be made before any of the barley harvest was eaten. It is an ordinance that s

The Pesach and The Tav
Here is The Law for the Pesach: “And Yahuah spoke unto El-Mosheh and El-Aharon in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: It shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak you unto all the assembly of Yisra’el, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house…; And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and th

The Judgement of Egypt
In 2017 I created my first website about Yahuah's Heavenly Calendar, and everything r/t bible events displayed on the calendars of 2012-2017. I wrote this in the month Abib at approximately the same time 9 years ago, and I've decided to share it today as an anniversary essay. We are currently in the Hebrew month Abib. At the time I am writing this, it is the 2nd Day of the Weekly Count, and the 10th Day of the Monthly Count; March 13th, 2026, Gregorian . According to scri

The First Month Of The Year To You
This is the Month Abib. That is according to Yahuah's Heavenly Calendar, not according the Gregorian Calendar (because of Constantine I and Gregory XIII's deceit), and not according to the Judaic Calendar (because of Hillel II's deception); but according to the Biblical Calendar, as evidenced by Exodus 12:1-3: ‘And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh and Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the

Saturday or Sunday? The History Behind The Seventh Day
Hillel ll held the office of Nasi, of the Sanhedrin in 4th century AD at the height of the Roman Empire. The religious environment at the time was embroiled in a controversy over how to Reconcile the observance of the biblical Pesach on Abib 14 (which when calculated using the biblical calendar, could fall on any day of the week of the pagan Julian calendar); with the observance of Easter, which the Western Roman Bishops wanted to fall strictly on Sunday, as a Roman Catholic

Reflections On: Wisdom and Counting Our Days
The Natsariym and the Aleph-Tav Yahuah gave Adam His Laws and Commandments, with the expectation that he, and his descendants, would strive to live their lives perfectly within them. To aid in that, Yahuah established a guideline for every condition, or situation we might encounter; and for the record, there were more than 10. There are 613 to be exact – that we know of. Now you might say ‘That’s impossible! Who can keep 613 commandments? Yahuah knows that we are human, pr

The Biblical 12th Month of the Year, 2026
The 12th Month is the last month of the Hebrew calendar. It signifies the end of the agricultural year; the final harvest having been completed in the 7th Month, and celebrated at the Feast Of Sukkot. I am a bible literalist; meaning if Yahuah indicates a thing is a certain way, then for me: 'It is what it is.' Therefore, I choose to stick with the numerical names for the months, as the bible does on numerous occasions. For Example, it is written in Exodus 16:1: '...on the

The Divine Display:
The Exodus in 2020 Shalom Everyone! Yahuah's Blessings On You and Your Household; Throughout the month of February I'm blogging about: 1. The Count & Yahuah's Heavenly Calendar, 2. The connection between The Shabbats and The Numerical Sequence of 8-15-22-29, 3. The 6-7-8- Algorithm. So, for the last week, I thought it would be cool for those who've never seen bible events displayed on a modern-day calendar; to actually see the rhythm and accuracy displayed right in front

The Divine Restoration: The 8th Day
Similar to the Shabbats and the correct New Moons, the 8th Day is also consecrated and Set-Apart unto Yahuah. It represents the physical and spiritual relationship He desires to have with us, provided we meet certain purification standards, as we cannot come before Him in an 'unclean' state. Following is the Torah on how His created were to present themselves before him. Enjoying this? The full blog is available on Substack. Subscribe below to continue reading. on the 7th Day

The Divine Design: The 1st Week
The Creation was not a random, explosive occurrence. On the contrary, there was a Divine intent and purposeful Will that served as the catalyst for it all. Three things stand out regarding conditions prior to the Creation: 1. There was Silence 2. There was Darkness 3. There was Primordial Waters That should not be construed to mean that those conditions existed as a state of Chaos and Confusion. Absolutely not. Yahuah is not the author of confusion. They had a purpose and as

A Story Between Genres
The following is an excerpt from an unpublished manuscript I wrote in 2009, and whose final genre I have yet to decide. It is currently written in Close Third-Person POV, and diverges at the fork between Nonfiction Memoir and Literary Fiction. It could go either way. Whichever genre emerges, it is the authenticity of the story that is most important. The following excerpt is a passage written to add depth and context to a pivotal character. The story is a work-in-progress.

Genesis 1:16
A Case For The Lesser Light The Full Moon rising to rule the night sky Every now and then, I like to pull this video out; for no other reason than I find it totally awesome. We've been told that the moon is a dead rock. That it has virtually no light of it's own and whatever light it gives forth, is reflected light from the sun. Well Yahuah, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and myself, disagree. According to the Creation Testimony, the Earth is stationary, with people moving on i

An Ancient Measurement Of Time
A Full Moon, signifying the end of a lunar cycle. How did ancient biblical people measure time? How did Adam, Abraham, Moses, the prophets and Yahusha know when to keep the Shabbats and the Appointed-Times of Yahuah? We cannot know for certain, as none of us were there, however, we can draw on historical and biblical evidence to reach a decisive conclusion: they would not have relied on calendars devised by man. Rather, having understood the guidelines set forth by Yahuah d

Learning To 'Count The Days' - When You Have Dyscalculia
Yahuah has a sense of humor. I have always had issues with numbers. I'm not sure if my elementary school teachers were aware of it - I would like to think they were, considering it would've been within their scope of practice to notice such things. All I know is that my inability to navigate the world of numbers became painfully obvious to me by the time I was in, what used to be called, junior high. In those days, a student was often called up to the black board to work out

The Benefits of an Editorial Assessment
Whether you’re submitting traditionally, or self-publishing, I cannot stress enough the importance of having your manuscript professionally edited. It is analogous to having a polished resume on hand when applying for a coveted job; you want to put your best foot forward. To that end I’ve found it well worth the investment to hire the best editor you can afford - I’m just keeping it real. That’s coming from someone whose mother was a high-school English teacher. She was a s

My First Pitch
My blog is about my writing process. The ups, the downs, the attention to detail required to achieve my goals. Although I’ve been writing stories since I could hold a pencil, I began writing seriously in 2007. I completed my first novel in 2009. Since then, my primary goal is to become traditionally published. That is easier said, than done; and sometimes it can be a bit much. For example: I may have mentioned that I’m having my author website redesigned to be more engaging f
