Keeping Passover

The following represents my understanding of how/when to eat Passover as a Believer in Yeshua, still in the Diaspora. I reserve the right to be wrong. So please do your own research, and prayerful study of Scripture in order to form your own convictions. A few things to note starting off: 1) Passover is to be done FOR EVER. This is repeatedly stated in the Torah. Seeing as YHWH Himself gave... read more

Israel and the Future Temple

Isaiah 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Can a nation be born in a day? Yep! May 14, 1948. See? Prophecy fulfilled! Or so say most preachers, Jews, Zionists and Christians these days. But is this assumption true? Let’s back up... read more

Yeshua is the Messiah

In recent years, I have seen a massive increase in anti-Yeshua rhetoric on my Facebook page – usually from Torah folks who now deny the Savior they once believed in as a result of listening to the likes of Tovia Singer (among others). They did a pendulum swing from once believing to now disbelieving and they are now just as passionate in their disbelief as they once were in their former, firm... read more

Peter’s Dream in Acts 10

Oh how many times must we deal with the question of Peter’s dream in Acts 10? Seriously? This comes up over and over again. “But Peter’s dream…” they will say, usually followed by some justification for continuing to eat bacon (or other unclean “food”). OK. Let’s let Scripture interpret itself: ACTS 10: 1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called... read more

For those coming here for the first time, this site can be a bit overwhelming. There is a lot of content here – much of which may challenge some of the things you’ve believed most of your life. To be honest, much of my own beliefs have been significantly challenged and this site reflects the personal journey of discovery that I’ve been on since about 2010. What is the... read more

It is divided up into the Short Version and the Long Version. The Short Version: The following represents a high-level, general overview of my thoughts and beliefs on commonly challenged topics.

The RIGHT HAND of YHWH is “Salvation.”

Published by Rob Skiba ·WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2019 To be CRYSTAL CLEAR right up front: I believe Yeshua/Jesus is God! Scripture clearly describes this (most directly in Jonn 1) and I believe it. YET, Yeshua/Jesus also CLEARLY stated over and over again (in many different ways) that He was NOT “co-equal” with the Father, with consistent statements that indicate He was subordinate to His... read more

Lunar or Weekly Sabbath?

http://www.educatetruth.com/featured/the-origin-of-the-sabbath-and-weekly-cycle/·THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2015 When is the Sabbath? I know this is a debate currently raging in some circles. Is the Sabbath based on the moon or has it always been about the consistent seventh day of the week? Well, consider the fact that “Saturday” is… Shabbat in Hebrew Sávvato in Greek yawm alssabt in Arabic... read more

The Day of Atonement

Published by Rob Skiba September 23, 2015 at 3:07 AM The Day of Atonement: Leviticus 23: 26 The LORD spoke to Moses, 27 “However, on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement.

Double Standard Abominations

Published by Rob Skiba July 1, 2015 at 3:29 PM A typical 21st Century Christian: “THE LAW HAS BEEN DONE AWAY WITH! IT WAS JUST FOR THE JEWS! WE’RE NOT UNDER THE LAW!!!! WE ARE FREE IN CHRIST!! WE ARE NOT BOUND BY THE OLD TESTAMENT!! STOP TRYING TO PUT US BACK UNDER THE LAW!!

The IDF, Leviticus 26 and What It Means To “Support Israel”

Published by Rob Skiba March 13, 2015 at 2:53 PM Christians have been and are still being deceived and guilt-tripped into a “We MUST support Israel” mentality. However, we really need to ask ourselves what that actually means – and do so in Biblical CONTEXT and not in geo-political (Zionist) contexts. Recently, Gonz (from Canary Cry Radio) posted a “rant” regarding this... read more

Who Has Bewitched You?

Published by Rob Skiba March 5, 2015 at 3:09 AM Oh foolish Galatians, please come out of the DPM before it’s too late. What is the DPM you may ask? It is the Deluded Paulian Movement – also known as the “ignorant and unstable” of 2 Peter 3:16 who “twist and distort” Paul’s writings. Peter warns us to stay away from such people. 2 Peter 3:17 You... read more

Shemitahs and Blood Moons – What’s the Point?

Published by Rob Skiba: February 10, 2015 at 2:41 PM Just an observation: First let me say that I am a big fan of many of the “prophecy” organizations out there. I think what they are doing – for the most part – is awesome. But lately, I am really seeing this idea that “fear sells” almost as well as sex. Since Christians can’t peddle the latter, they... read more

A New and IMPROVED “Great Awakening” is taking place

Published by Rob Skiba on January 11, 2015 at 6:42 PM When I first started to understand who I am, and I began to talk and write about it, many labeled me a member of the so-called “Hebrew Roots Movement.” I have consistently distanced myself from that label however due to many things that I flat out disagree with that are being taught by some of the more prominent leaders within that now so... read more

What coming out of Babylon looks like…

Published by Rob Skiba January 11, 2015 at 5:26 PM As I am going through the 100+ notes I’ve written over the past few years, it is very interesting to see the journey I’ve been on and how others have reacted to it along the way. When I realized that the gifts of the Spirit are still in effect today and that John 14:12 was true and still applicable to us in the 21st Century, all my Baptist... read more

Truth Seekers or Posers?

Published by Rob Skiba December 24, 2014 at 6:56 PM I’m curious (and this is NOT aimed at any one person in particular – it’s just a general observation based on NUMEROUS interactions I’ve had with MANY here on Facebook and elsewhere): How does one claiming to be a “truth seeker” justify that title when they won’t take a firm (Biblical) stand for it?

What are the Scriptures anyway?

Published by Rob Skiba December 13, 2014 at 9:57 PM We use the word “Scriptures” all the time, but BIBLICALLY speaking, what were/are the Scriptures? In other words, looking at the New Testament, we sure do see the word used a lot, but in EVERY CASE to what are the authors referring? Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in... read more

Published by Rob Skiba December 12, 2014 at 10:25 PM I often hear one of the excuses for justifying X-mess and Ishtar Day: “But these are the times when the world comes to the church. It’s when we have the best chance of reaching them.” On the surface, that sounds great, doesn’t it? Good opportunity for out-reach, right? Well… let me ask you a question: WHERE... read more

Published by Rob Skiba December 11, 2014 at 10:43 PM Whenever post just about anything concerning keeping the commandments, I often hear people tell me that Jesus only gave two commandments for us to follow (as if He decided to trump His Father). Well, the first thing we must consider is this: John 10:30 I and My Father are one. So, right there we can toss out any notion of One... read more

A cry of LOVE from heaven (and me) to you…

Published by Rob Skiba December 2, 2014 at 2:09 PM Before you read this note, I want you to go and get your Bible. Seriously. Go get it. Got it? OK, now open up to Matthew 1 and hold the entire New Testament in-between the fingers on your right hand. Then look at the amount of the book we call the Bible that is in that hand and compare it to what is left on the other side. You’ll quickly notice that... read more

The Aleph Bet of Lamentations 2

Published by Rob Skiba September 25, 2014 at 1:41 AM This is crazy cool! And sort of freaky… So I was doing a key-word search on the phrase “apply of the eye” and found that in the book of Lamentations, chapter 2, the Hebrew is structured such that each first letter of every sentence represents the sequence of the Hebrew alphabet. Check it out… אֵיכָה֩ יָעִ֨יב בְּאַפֹּ֤ו ׀ אֲדֹנָי֙... read more

What’s In A Name?

Published by Rob Skiba July 15, 2014 at 10:40 PM A while back, I saw something Chuck Missler taught on the significance of the meanings of the names in Scripture. We know that in the Bible they named their kids things for a reason. For example: Esau came out red and hairy, so they named him Esau, which means “shaggy”. Jacob came out grabbing his brother’s heal, so they named him... read more

Why Singing “I did myyyyyyyy wayyyyy.” Won’t Go Well For You

Published by Rob Skiba June 15, 2014 at 4:50 PM Frank Sinatra is well known for his famous song, “My way.” But as I look at the Scriptures concerning how YHWH is to be worshipped, I can’t see those {SIN-at-ya} lyrics working out too well for anyone who wants to do it their way instead of HIS way. Indeed, Yeshua seems to be warning against that menality in… Matthew 7: 22 Many... read more

Did Yeshua Take A Nazarite Vow (in Matt. 26:29)?

Published by Rob Skiba June 3, 2014 at 2:10 AM Before I begin this note, let me just say up front that I am asking this question myself: Did Yeshua Take A Nazarite Vow? I am going to suggest that He did. Based on my acknowledged limited understanding, please allow me to SPECULATE… The Levitical Priesthood has been and will remain done away with so long as the Melchizedek Priesthood remains intact.... read more

A Coming Exodus?

Published by Rob Skiba May 16, 2014 at 1:15 AM I have for some time now believed that Revelation is an amped-up repeat of Exodus. Note: At that time, “Israel became a nation” NOT in Canaan, but rather in Africa (Egypt). I suspect the same will be true in the end, which is one of many reasons I find 1948 to be a counterfeit (it certainly does NOT fit Isaiah 66:8 in the slightest).... read more

Chris White debunks the Psalm 83 War

Published by Rob Skiba April 27, 2014 at 3:19 PM I must say I REALLY like where Chris White is headed with his End Times research.

Consider what Yeshua had to say when He explained this parable in… Matthew 13: 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the... read more
