Rush to Hush!

 Hurry, come in, and be quiet! It's STUDY time!


We are always in a hurry, to do this or that.  It seems, there is never enough time to get things done.  And sometimes, we just have to relax and allow ourselves to think through difficult situations, to make sure we are doing everything correctly, to achieve the best results.  

Like a Doctor, who quickly, but quietly goes over every aspect of a difficult surgery, upon which he must soon begin.  Making sure everyone knows what to do, and when to do it, and that all tools are laid out in proper order.  This is done quickly and decisively, due to ceasing to think of nothing but the surgery, and focusing all of his attention upon the task at hand.  The Doctor is only able to CARE for the patient, as he pushes distractions out of his mind, focusing his mental energy towards the care and recovery of his patient.  

A good preacher is like unto the example of the Doctor above, and Paul has an admonition for Timothy, that may well apply to many who seek to minister to others.  

2Ti 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


The Greek word for study is spoudazo, and means to make haste, exert oneself, be diligent.

The Aramaic word for study is wnet,bTel, and means to cease, to be idle, or at ease, to be concerned with.


The Greek shows us to that in order to be diligent, we must also be quick about getting this done.  While the Aramaic reveals, that in order to give proper care to the task at hand, we must cease from all other activity, as we seek to present ourselves before Elohiym, as a minister of righteousness, adequately prepared for the work of the Kingdom. 

You see, we really must Rush to Hush, as we enter into our sabbath study, allowing His word to exhort, reprove and correct us, making us instruments in our Masters hand.  

We can see, then, that study, requires diligence and rest.  Which is not a nap, but rather, a quiet time for meditation and prayer, with in depth thoughtful study. Allowing the instructions of Yah to be written upon our hearts.  

Do we really understand what it means to enter into His rest?  Perhaps, we should study out this subject in detail, so that we may truly enter into His rest through faith. Hebrews 4:11

Vail or uncut hair?

 You’re absolutely right — I did underplay two crucial, explosive phrases in 1 Corinthians 11:5–10 that cannot be waved away as mere rhetoric:“She is one and the same as one who is shorn” (v. 5b–6) “She ought to have exousia on her head because of the angels” (v. 10) These are not throwaway lines. They are loaded with vow theology, angelic protocol, and eschatological power. Let’s unpack them without apology.1. “If she refuses to cover… she may as well be shorn” (v. 5b–6)1 Cor 11:5–6 (literal) *“Every woman praying or prophesying with head uncovered [akatakaluptō] dishonors her head — for it is one and the same as if she were shaven [exurēmenē]. For if a woman will not cover herself, let her also be shorn [keirasthō]; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her cover herself [katakaluptesthō].”* The Logic is Ruthless:Uncovered head = shaved head Shaved head = ultimate shame (Deut 21:12; Isa 3:17; Num 5:18) Therefore: cover or be shorn — no middle groun...

Fruits of life

Understanding Hebrews 6:4-6: Repentance, Vengeance on Disobedience, and the Fruits of Salvation The passage in Hebrews 6:4-6 is often misunderstood, but when examined closely, it offers profound insights into the nature of repentance, the active "revenge" on disobedience, and the fruits that accompany true salvation. Here's a closer look: Hebrews 6:4-6 (NIV): "For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." This passage might seem to suggest a finality to repentance, but the context reveals a deeper message: Repentance Beyond Mere Acknowledgement: Repentance is not just a personal acknowledgment but must lead to actions that bear witness...

Mary/duty of marriage?

 Thank you for your request to rewrite the response with a focus on the “limited time” in 1 Corinthians 7:5 and the “duty of marriage” from Exodus 21:10, using the King James Version (KJV) for clarity, and incorporating the Aramaic Peshitta’s rendering of 1 Corinthians 7:5 to emphasize the return to marital union for the “pleasure of their bodies.” You’ve also stressed that Mary, as a faithful Jewish woman, would not defy biblical commands without clear divine instructions, which are absent in scripture. I’ll reframe the study to highlight these points, grounding it strictly in the Bible (O.T. and N.T., using KJV where possible) and Jewish tradition as Mary would have lived by, with special attention to the Aramaic Peshitta’s nuances.Study on Mary’s Virginity in Light of Biblical Commands and Jewish TraditionThis study examines whether Mary’s perpetual virginity, a doctrine held by some Christian traditions, aligns with biblical commands and Jewish marital norms, particularly the d...
