The book of Obadiah consist of twenty one powerful verses, thus making it the shortest book in the so called Old Testament. The visions contained in this book are condensed prophecies that were once a rumor to our forefathers. It revealed the hidden conspiracy of their enemies; the violence to come and their downfall. This generation could read some of …

What an appropriate time to read this Psalm! Everywhere you are hearing of the war between Ukraine and Russia. For some it might be a source of anxiety but if you know the prophecies it will strengthen your faith. Amos 3:6 “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city [by the watchmen as warning of war, see Ezekiel 33:1-9], and …

This Psalm is quoted a few times in the scriptures by Christ. In his time period there were leaders that failed our people, they were the same that rejected him unto crucifixion. See, Matthew 11:25-26 and Matthew 21:15-16. However, Christ found hope in the prophecy; that the most High was to reveal his secret to the youth. Our generation need …

Recently we shared “The Laws were NOT Abolished” flyer, because most people believe that God said go ahead and commit sin. The majority of the time a supporter of this doctrine tries to rationalize that it is written in the so called New Testament. However they could never find a verse that blatantly justifies committing sin. Ironically in this chapter …

To understand why your elected officials will not raise the question of passing a bill in favor of our people, we must understand who we are. Recently the Senate and President passed an anti-Asian hate crime bill. There has been a rise of violence against Asians in America, due to the view that they brought COVID-19 to the country. One …

After declaring the prophecy against the nations and the reason why he is punishing them. We must reflect whether our conditions are as a result of our misdeeds. What are some of the things done among our people that might make us ask the question in the title? The prophet turns to our people and declared, how they harm their …

All throughout the world our people suffer inequality, oppression, and injustice. Ecclesiastes 4:1 “So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.” Often those in power …

The past few weeks we have been absorbed with the preparations of the Passover. All praises to the Heavenly Father we had a beautiful gathering and a great time. Now that we are recovered, we want to share with you this Radio update. The first three chapters of the Book of Amos has been uploaded. These will be published also …

Every new moon (month) we are commanded to blow the trumpet. Psalms 81:3 “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” According to the Bible the second coming of Christ approaches with every passing day. Nobody wants on that day to get destroyed, to avoid that we must renew ourselves just …

We are in the last days of the year; it is time to celebrate the month of Abib on April 11th at sundown. Those of us that are wise know that the beginning of the year is in the season of spring. Also that a new month begins on the lunar phase called the new moon. If you have never …

scribe to the readers, Recently we requested some help from you and we are grateful to announce that you provided some. As we stated there are so many ways you could help us which in turn improves your learning experience. For instance, some have taken the challenge of the one year Bible reading plan. A brother suggested that we improve …

There are times when a person will speak against you. Usually the timing is when you are in the most vulnerable situations, their true feelings will come out. Then you realize you have an enemy although you did unto them no wrong. In David’s case he fled from Absalom his son, to save his life. At that moment came out …

Sickness is a common occurrence, physically and mentally. In this psalm David prays for healing, acknowledging that it could be rebuke (correction) for angering the Heavenly Father. It is not common belief that sickness could be correction from the most High or that healing comes from him. Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus 38:9 “My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray …

The prior chapter was an evening prayer, while this is the morning prayer. Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Some deny themselves the benefits of prayer because they do not know …

The name Joel means YHWH is God. This book depicts vividly the power of the most High God. Joel 1:15 “Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.” The message is clear the Heavenly Father through any means could bring destruction. One example mentioned are …

One word frequently found in the book of Psalms is prayer. There are some people that never pray for various reasons. But one that I hear often is that they do not know what to say. Although it is not stated in the title of this Psalm, we could quickly describe it as an evening prayer. Sent up in the …

One of the worse feelings a person could have is when it seems like the whole world is against you. In some cases its not just a feeling but a reality. That is what this Psalm is about, King David knew all too well this experience. In his lifetime he had to flee more than once from a powerful enemy …

For these past few weeks we set the Passover as our priority, as we always do. Meaning that we chose to be offline for a while. But don’t worry we didn’t forget about you! We also use that time to determine what should be done for the website and be productive in the mean time. One of our greatest priorities …

On this eighth day of Deuteronomy chapter 28 we are releasing Psalms chapter 1 as a podcast. The book of Psalms is a collection of spiritual songs. 1st Chronicles 16:9 “Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.” The majority of Psalms was written by king David to thank the Heavenly Father for being …

The name Hosea means salvation. In this final chapter, we must ask ourselves if we understand the things spoken in this book to attain it. Hosea 14:9 “Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors …

Countless times I have heard “I don’t worship this!” as they point to the jewelry hanging on their neck. Hosea 13:2 “And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that …

The prosperity of our people is in the Heavenly Father. Job 36:11 “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” An example of this is our father Jacob. After being blessed by his father Isaac, he fled from his brother Esau (whom he battled from the womb). This caused him …

Earlier chapters of this book, undoubtedly informs us of the Messiah (Christ) directly. Matthew 2:15 “And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.” Some background is needed to understand what this verse is speaking of, Herod was …

When we began recording the Bible Readings we chose the book of Hosea because it coincided with the one year plan. Hopefully you read fully the book and are keeping up with the plan. It would have been nice to have the audio out at the same time as those reading. Nevertheless this book addresses a grave topic, idolatry (images, …

The book of Proverbs is a collection of sayings that was written by Solomon. Unlike most sayings these are rooted in the commandments of God which means they have wisdom. 1st Chronicles 22:12 “Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.” This was …

Christ taught that we would be known by our fruits. Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Verse 16: “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Keeping in mind what we learned yesterday of the analogy of our …

The concept taught by the Apostle Paul of men being considered the first fruits is found within this chapter. Hosea 9:10 “I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according …

The scriptures in our ancient language (Hebrew) used to be sung; this was the case even before the book of Psalms was written. The book of Psalms actually means songs. James 5:13 “Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.”This book contains very good prayers, especially for those in affliction that do not …

As much as I like music, we must understand the value of listening to the scriptures. Hosea 9:17 “My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.” To get our people to listen (hearken) is a challenge in itself. Jeremiah 6:10 “To whom shall I speak, and give …

A new month begins this weekend 1/5/2019 at sundown, it will be the 11th month according to the Hebrew Calendar. As you might remember we started a tradition last month of updating the audio downloads monthly the day before the new moon. See, Isaiah 66:22-24. That means it will be a double Sabbath, for the seventh day begins tonight and …

It is very important to familiarize ourselves with what is written in the Holy Scriptures. As a people we have been so far removed that the laws seem to us as something strange. Hosea 8:12 “I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.” As this scripture pointed out, the …

Many are met with the mercy of the Heavenly Father and either ignore it or just do not have the ability to acknowledge it. If by chance you are of the few that discovered this great mystery, do not take it for granted. In this chapter we learn, how in the past our forefathers returned but it wasn’t sincere. The …

As we discussed yesterday, there are many sayings that our people have to justify living in sin. When confronted with the teachings of the law the first reaction is to look for blame in the person. Philippians 2:15 “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, …

At times our people ask why they suffer oppression or injustice. One of the reasons explained in this chapter is because they “willing walked after the commandment” of men while rejecting those of God. Christ explains this in detail in Mark 7:6-8. Since the whoredom of Israel was to go and worship false gods; such as stocks meaning a tree …

It is time to “Hear the word of the LORD”, as this chapter declares. Why are the minds of our people so far from truth? Whoredom and not being sober takes away the heart. For this reason our people are flooded with content (music, videos, pictures, etc..) everyday to capture their attention towards the trap. After your mind, heart, and …

The downfall of the nation of Israel as Hosea puts it was whoredom. Meaning they committed adultery against the Heavenly Father by seeking after other gods. Although Hosea makes us understand clearly the sin, some have actually attempted to justify their sin. Some brothers that wear purple have asked “Are Images Wrong?”. They accuse brothers that teach against the sin …

Hopefully by now, you used the many options to hear the first chapter of Hosea. There was so much that could be learned from the first chapter. Such as, how the children of Israel went into whoredom by departing from their faith and worshiping false gods. The ultimate result that is a great mystery in this world is that the …

The hidden treasure of the playlist. Isaiah 45:3 “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Some of us are not as computer savvy therefore today we want to explain how to reveal the …

Although you could directly download from our site the Bible Readings audio, some find podcast apps to be convenient. The scriptures say (Matthew 10:8) freely ye have received, freely give. The word of the Heavenly Father should not be for sale or to receive financial gains, by anyone. As we should all know, the Hebrew word Sabbath means rest, hence …

Yesterday we introduced Bible Readings on the radio station to assist you in the one year plan. Today we want to introduce to you a new feature on The Scripture website. As audio files are uploaded, each chapter within the Online Bible will reflect the change. More importantly the audio file is available for download directly from the site. This …

Faith comes by hearing: In the beginning of the month we published a Bible Reading Plan, hopefully you are already using it. If you have not begun, we are providing you a tool that could help you catch up. Today we uploaded on the radio station Hosea chapter 1. Once you listen you will see how quick and easy it …

With the beginning of a new month its a great opportunity for those that want to begin reading the Bible.  The most popular book in the world is the Bible; over 100 million are sold or given away every year. It is ironic, how the vast majority of people have never read it entirely. Many that possess this book use …

scribe to the readers, The Bible is comprised of Holy Books that make up one volume. Psalms 40:7 “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,” When searching online “how many books are within the Bible?” the answer depends on the religions that a person ascribes to. Hebrews 10:7 “Then said …

One of the rarest books in the world for Spanish speaking individuals is the Apocrypha. For those that never heard of the Apocrypha, it is fourteen books that were always part of the Bible but later labeled by Jerome (Roman) the Latin translator as such. At another time we will talk much more about this history. Today we are happy to announce that an online version has been made available for Download. Soon, every book will be displayed individually as well.

Most sisters are not aware that they could be very helpful to the truth of the Heavenly Father. In the scriptures there is constant proof of this, although it is not taught often. Philippians 4:3 “And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.” For instance yesterday (on the Sabbath) we received an email from a sister that informed us of a misprint in the Apocrypha PDF (printer friendly) download. Besides correcting what she pointed out to us we also took the time to make some improvements to the PDF.

Such as adding shortcuts links in the Table of Contents page to jump to the book desired. The previous version had bookmarks to each book but for the technically challenged it was hard to find. Now you do not have to worry about looking for the bookmark since the Table of Contents actually provides the same ability. Yet if you were proficient with the bookmarks; Ecclesiasticus now has additional bookmarks to skip 10 chapters at a time. Finally everyone should know that the Apocrypha Download works on any device; on your computer, tablet, and phone. But if you are like me you printed it out and wrote precepts (link ups to other scriptures) on the sides. In the near future we want to introduce a separate version that contains the precepts that we added during our studies.

Corrections: Ecclesiasticus 36:25-26 (missing verse), Tobit 8:7 (replaced lush with lust), and 2 Maccabees 7:27 (replaced such with suck).

Shalam brothers and sisters we have uploaded a new version of the Apocrypha with corrections that were made to the book of Baruch, Bel and the Dragon, and Prayer of Manasses. For better navigation we added bookmarks; in Adobe reader on the top right hand corner click the icon that will show the side bar then click on the Navigation icon. Sometime soon this page will contain the breakdown of proving the authenticity of the Apocrypha according to the scriptures. Please look out also for those podcast lessons. Shalam!
