The Call To Honor God

Invitations go our daily. Birthday parties, wedding announcements, holiday invitations, baby showers and so on. However, every once in a while an invitation goes out calling people to change, calling people to repent. Return to Christianity by Deigloriam is a wake-up call to America, the complacent, the compromising, the slothful, and all who are disobedient to the Lord’s commands.  The book is not meant to put down anyone, but to lift up and re-focus readers on Christian values that many Americans have lost and/or take for granted. 

Centered on one of the greatest commandments: Love thy neighbor as thyself - this book takes a look at the position of wealth in America and reminds people that wealth is not to be trusted in, but God who gives to all richly everything to enjoy. With that said, wealth is not meant to be spent on oneself, for purchasing expansive houses or luxury cars, but wealth is meant to help the poor. The author addresses the notion that the poor are somehow being punished for their sins and don’t deserve help. With a historical look at the original twelve apostles, the author brings readers back with scripture to the core values that this country has lived by, which we are quickly losing, as many Americans have forgotten God and living a holy life.

This read is a highly recommended for those that desire to do good in their sphere of influence. With sound biblical teaching and insight, this author has compiled this book to be a reminder to Americans to return back to Christianity. Also, I would go as far to say that every Christian and member of the Body of Christ should read this book. 

Return to Christianity goes out as a call to honor God, to also honor all men whom are created in the image of God, revealing an avenue for repentance. Yes, repentance – another word Americans don’t like to think of which is rarely taught from the pulpit.

Return to Christianity speaks to the greed and apathy of a compromising church, as our country seems to be straying farther away from godly policy to man-made policies that are against the core values of America and against God Himself.

The Breastplate of the High Priest

Dr. Raphael Ben Levi sheds light in his comprehensive book Romance of the Hebrew Calendar: Breaking the Alabaster Jar by (900 pages) on the Jewish Hebraic calendar. 

The author invites readers to contemplate, reflect and understand the Jewish people (God’s chosen) and the multiple layers, dimensions and appointed feasts of the Lord. 

As God’s chosen people, the Jewish race play a crucial part in Christianity and the history of world events. With this in mind, the author speaks from a perspective as a descendant from Holocaust escapees and writes with a Messianic Jewish perspective, giving a keen understanding of the Hebraic roots.

From the Israelites in captivity in the wilderness to Passover, to many of the memorialized days that lie within the times and dates within the Jewish calendar, the author helps readers understand the full cultural aspects within a contextual and biblical perspective. 

The author presents a thorough and comprehensive overview of God’s people, their sufferings, and afflictions that offers a vast amount of wisdom from years of study. The Jewish roots that have shaped Christianity unfolds in such a way that reveals the love relationship which the Lord God has with His people and the nations of the World.

Fascinating, easy-to-read, and historically accurate, the author has selected quotes from various sources, then presents explanatory charts that not only summarize the 12 month calendar, but also include a detailed description of the 12 Tribes of Israel, and their location within the tribe’s camp, offering a clear look into the ancestry of the birth of Israel and so much more. Within this, the meaning and significance of the Breastplate of the High Priest and the corresponding jewels reveal a complicated subject with ease. 

The rich Jewish identity. The author brings revelation from the Scriptures without the “esoteric mystical interpretation” often incorporated within this subject. 

The author describes his endeavors as, “. . . a divine romance dancing to the heartbeat of the Hebrew calendar. What can we compare it to? It is like a deer who pants for running streams. . .” and that, “True brokenness always leads to restoration.” 

What a profound statement for a book about the Jewish calendar! His book is quite unique, embellished with commentaries, stories and historical/cultural insight that will ignite a passion for the things of God that bring a vast understanding and honor of the Jewish nation, people and culture.

This is an amazing read for Christians, helping them understand the significance of their heritage from the Jewish people, but also for the Jewish person, helping them better recognize “Yeshua” (Jesus) as the Messiah. This book comes highly recommended for an instructional syllabus for College level instruction and is highly recommended for the individual and/or group study that seeks to deepen their intimacy and level of understanding of the Jewish calendar as they relate to our modern day biblical celebrations.
