Day of Atonement – Identifying Messiah in Yom Kippur

Posted on by

Each year the calendar presents us with the Jewish Biblical High Holy Days. What many Gentiles do not observe is a day of atonement called Yom Kippur. But even more interesting is that many persons in the Jewish community who do place high importance on Yom Kippur, they miss knowing the true identity of the Jewish Messiah. And for Gentiles who think they know who the Messiah is … they too might find interesting the audio presentation that is linked to this blog post!

Here is the link to the web page with the audio to listed to regarding the identity of the Messiah in relation to a High Holy Day! (opens in new browser tab)

Book Listings at WindowView

Posted on by

The WindowView touches on many sources to help build the ‘big picture’ that leads to providing you with the most important question … the vital question we all need to consider in our lifetime! Science, theology, paleontology, archaeology, and historical timelines all merge to assemble the multiple perspectives and provide real evidence that makes the window unique and useful!

The WindowView.org website has needed updates for some time now. Updates will start to appear in the coming year. Current pages with book lists have received minor updates and focus on the earlier sources.

Main Book List Link

Apologetics Book List

Take a look, you might find interesting titles. Click on a book cover and visit a bookseller and read reviews. If the price is too much, search the web!

The main book list can (as of 2022) be considered a bit historic because some of the titles are important in understanding the base of information rom which more current writings gain momentum and support. For example, the Science Area of WindowView relies on many of these sources to help build reasonable to solid perspectives. It is not opinion that is the concern, sound information builds the true view!

Apologetics relates more to the theological side and once you see life is by design, not by chance, and there is more to consider than a temporary and material life … there is the big question about life eternal.

WindowView also looks at many other sources that are available to download or referred to in various places, thus he book lists only represent some of many sources used at this web site. Being objective is extremely important. Avoiding unsupported opinion, bias, or by false interpretation is fundamental to forming a solid set of important perspectives. That is the main goal of embracing the fullness of the window (combine these areas … Science, Change, Harmony, Timeline, and Convergence and assemble the big view on what and why life!).

Yom Teruah – Rosh Hashanah – Surprise

Posted on by

Recommendation: Visit the YouTube video regarding one particular High Holy Day on the Jewish calendar. There is a surprise that everyone–Jewish and Gentile persons both–should hear about. And you can visit that video at this LINK.

To be clear, Yom Teruah is documented to be “the day” designated for a specific purpose. Each year this day starts a period of ten days for reflection and personal repentance and that leads up to another holy day. But when a specific and unique purpose is fulfilled is further described in the video. Reference to Messiah may be easy or hard to accept for some viewers, but the Hebrew Scriptures help to specifically identify who that identity is! In fact, deeper study of the Tanach (the Hebrew Bible) reveals passages in Genesis, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zechariah, and many other places in the text that contribute to full identity revealed! One passage often mentioned is in Isaiah stating with the words “Behold my servant … .” (Tanach Isiah 52;13). Then read through all of the rest of chapter 52 to the end of 53. Each year in the reading of the Torah, these verses are typically skipped over … it is time for a complete reading … today!

Many will celebrate Rosh Hashanah without realizing the origin of that celebration … the video provides the surprise and explains the true origin of this celebration day! And to be sure, apples and honey make for a sweet celebration! So, two unique purposes are celebrated on one High Holy Day, but the reality as to why Yom Teruah was set in place in Scripture is given a nice and extremely important explanation in the video.

There Is A New World Coming

Posted on by

Years ago Hal Lindsey wrote a book about a new world coming. The question we might ask today is: “How will we recognize the signs of that world coming to us?”

Look out your window! What do you see in the world today?

As this post is being typed up, divisions, splits, adversarial relationships are evident all around the globe. World leaders contribute to conflict and the idea of global cooperation is a distant and lost concept.

The photo of the cover of the Lindsay book is is from the original edition published in 1973. While the basic study in the text of this book is a biblical look at Revelation, the text touches on a timeline of events looking forward. But the text also looks back to the writings of Daniel. And the text written by John (who penned the text of the ‘apocalypsis,’ i.e., revelation and revealing of Messiah and what brings in the new age, new era, and new world) touches on images, themes, timing, and points made by Daniel in what his text states going back some 500 to 600 years before John was born. As noted online, “Daniel was a righteous man of princely lineage and lived about 620–538 B.C.”

A Divided House Cannot Stand

Today’s polarization and division between countries, political division within countries, and a lack of collaboration and caring … reveals a world in a crumbling state. Indeed, in the past there were periods of decline, but never with as many people that live on planet Earth today!

The book highlighted here is a bit dated in some of its presentation. Yet, some very interesting observations are included in the text! Maybe you can find a copy of the original book, but one important fact is that back in the 1970s Mr. Lindsey wrote about two witnesses who would appear in Jerusalem (Revelation chapter 11). These remarkable individuals would be a sign of a specific event that takes place before the new world arrives. In the 70s the idea that the entire global community–all of us–would be able to see these two witnesses in Jerusalem led to the idea that a TV satellite would make it possible (i.e., Telstar). Fast forward to today and the smartphones and internet streaming services make it even more possible. Once everything is in place to make all the prophetic events work like clockwork, the the teachings, events, and chronology revealed by John and Daniel will come together and take place … a house divided will crumble and the world will need unified leadership. For a time a false leader, the anti-Messiah, will step onto the world stage. A crumbled and fragmented humanity will look up to false leadership. Even today false leaders get unwarranted attention! But the story does not end with that false presence and study of Scripture will prepare you to fully understand the passing of this world and the coming of the next!

A Remarkable Network of Information

One added point that warrants you making a detailed study of the writings of Daniel and John. Simply put, the text of each source requires the other to complete a bigger picture of what is to come. This is like pulling together pieces of a puzzle from two authors and the incredible unity, logic, and good sense the puzzle image makes once assembled! Daniel even gives a means to calculate the year Messiah first appears. John describes churches in cities in a way that outlines historical eras from the time of Messiah’s first appearance to today! The study you might make offers an opportunity to see a remarkable network of information that arises all across he biblical text. That network is evidence that the entire text of Scripture is not simply separate and unrelated writings. Just the opposite, the entire text looks forward (and beyond) the new world that is coming.

A more current book that accomplishes what Lindsay wrote and even goes deeper into the relevant information is Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s book: “The Footsteps of the Messiah.” (<– first link is to a bookseller with reviews, but may be a bit more expensive, a ministry website with same book at alternate price … use this LINK)

The Jewish Messiah Has A Name

Posted on by

Messiah is a very specific biblical term. If you read the Hebrew Scriptures, there are many places in the Tanach that point to the Messiah. The identification has been long lost on Israel, but as many of you may know, the identity will become way more apparent to the Jewish people when the time is correct–as it is stated, the ‘veil will be lifted’ and Israel will know, accept, or reject, and then other events will soon follow. Those events are written about in the books of Daniel and what John wrote in the writings that appear in the last book of the Greek text, the Brit Chadeshah (New Covenant)

There is an author, Dr. Fruchtenbaum, who has written a fabulous book about the Footsteps of the Messiah. That volume explains the history, process that prophesy takes humanity through, and focuses on the Jewish Messiah. While WindowView also deals with Science and Change, the Harmony area supports many pages that relate to the Messiah himself.

The book listed here may be a great eye opener for those Jewish and even Gentile persons who have not made the connections between what Messiah in the past accomplished and what Scripture and world events today portend for the future, perhaps very near future.

Messiah has a name that means ‘salvation,’ and that is ‘Yeshua.’ Rabbis have denied this for centuries, but this distraction is nothing but that veil over the eyes of Israel. the Bible’s entire focus centers on events in Israel. Many Gentile preachers think the ‘church’ replaces Israel, but that is a misnomer that can be corrected by reading sources that include the intricate interweaving of the biblical data in the Hebrew and Greek texts.

See below links for the purchase or download of this book:

You can order a hardcopy of this book at Amazon with this link.

But some time ago permission was granted to allow free distribution as an electronic file and the link for that edition of this book is HERE (click to download the PDF document, just click on the book cover on the web page at WindowView).

Jewish persons who have explored the Tanach and have read passages such as in Isaiah 53, Proverbs 30: 4, the timeline that states when Messiah would come as presented in the book of Daniel, and elsewhere in Isaiah, Psalms, Malachi, Zechariah, and even a reference in Genesis, plus many other locations … all point to Yeshua.

Just thought ou might be interested …

Apostate State of World Being

Posted on by

An overly simplified summary of what the WindowView web site is all about comes down to one initial concept: “Looking at multiple perspectives helps one to see the greater context to what life is.”  Within each perspective—such as those at WindowView, including Change, Science, Harmony, Timeline—one still needs to do some thinking. A keyword for all of us is “discern.” And to discern means to look at the larger field of information to assess what is true as opposed to false, misguided, bias, interpretation, assumption, or anything that is misleading. To discern in a way that is fair, this requires an open mind that is willing to be objective, but also a mind that is willing to go to multiple information sources and to look around. If you sit at your ‘window’ and really look at the lager view, then you will find opportunities to be objective and to seek what is a reliable viewpoint.

The fact that scientific and theistic information can be considered together may offer difficulty for some people. If that is you, then it’s less likely you will open your mind and explore. To look at a world of change, diametrically opposing views from science, theism, business, politics, and to include the oppositional behaviors and forces posed by various nations all over the world—this all leads to something that has been long ago projected as the eventual state of being. Yes, that is already documented in advance.  And it seems we have arrived at that state. This should be a concern to all alive today.

The title of this post starts with the word ‘apostate.’ This is being referenced in relation to one portion of Scripture that describes the status of believers at a specific point in world history—and that point in time appears to be now. Apostate is a term that can be defined as: “a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle.” And sound principles might be objective or well founded on truth. To go one step further, apostasy is more the activity of abandoning such relevant belief or foundational principles. 

Today we see persons who abandon the notion that change is occurring in the natural world—as in climate change—or that science information is helpful in addressing important issues—like taking a vaccine to prevent the further spread of a pandemic disease—or more so to contradict Scripture as religious groups decide to use Scripture in ways to their liking … and not as the biblical text intends.

This post is not going to lay down examples to say you may be involved to apostate actions or behaviors, but instead is simply pointing to this being a time when apostasy is occurring today in so many areas of the human experience—across the entire globe today—to signify something that the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures foretell as coming next. We are complex and specific human beings built on highly specified genetic information, living in a universe with highly fine-tuned conditions … so much so, as to point to our being here by design. And if that Designer is the God of the Bible, then Scripture that says apostasy will come to bring an end of an era, then you might want to see the relevance to change, science, and what the harmony of biblical texts say … and seeing how that pertains to your life right now. 

In case you are wanting a reference … from the Greek [Revelation 3:14-21], you can, in part, see the reference to apostasy through people who are material and not attentive to God’s will. Reference to repenting, for example, exposes leaders who lead for their own purposes and not in the way Scripture would point to the Designer’s will.

Ears to hear, eyes to see, fully, allow a mind to truly discern. And that is why WindowView was developed. Maybe not perfect, but certainly here to get you to do some thinking!

Isaiah 53 As A New Song

Posted on by

In a previous post you were able to connect to a WindowView.org web page that provides access to understanding the importance of the verses in Isaiah 53. The prophet is essentially letting all Israel know who the Messiah is … His identity is unmistakable and the prophet’s words were written hundreds of years before Yeshua appeared to Israel. As then and as is now, these words are a key that unlocks so much of what else Scripture. has to tell us.

Today we received an email from Joshua Aaron that included a link to his friend’s new song … the song is based on Isaiah 53, sung by Aaron Shust and accompanied by Shai Sol.

Click on the image below to be taken to YouTube to hear the song!

The Prophet Identifies Messiah

Posted on by

Every year Israel celebrates Passover. Each year during the Pesach seder there is a moment when the matzah is broken and the Cup of Redemption is lifted to drink wine. This breaking of bread and drinking of the cup was a new adjustment to the Pesach tradition and seems to correspond with who the Jewish Messiah is. So, who is that?

Of whom does the prophet Isaiah speak?

To read about the prophet Isaiah’s exact words that align closely with the true identity of the Jewish Messiah, we recommend a visit to windowview.org/wanted/j.html. See the web page and read the WANTED poster and get the REWARD!

In a world of increasing chaos and confusion, peace is to be found in Messiah–for Jew and Gentile alike, this one identity rises in importance above all else.

Messiah in Tanach

Posted on by

WindowView includes several perspectives that when added together compose a ‘big picture’ relating to true information from science to Scripture. Yes, one needs to acknowledge that there are many opinions and interpretations that can distract from truth, but please consider the following scriptural insight because a key reason for looking through the ‘window’ is that your eternal destiny is really the main focus.

FACT: the Hebrew Scriptures do include information that identifies the Jewish Messiah. Yes, that is information each Jewish person needs to know–but many do not read their own Scriptures–and thus something of vital importance is being missed.

FACT: many gentile readers of the Bible have not recognized the numerous places where the Jewish Messiah is identified even before reading the Greek text (i.e., New Covenant). And if more Jewish readers saw what was in the Tanach (i.e., Hebrew Bible), then what is written in the Greek would make huge impacts on the Jewish peoples and all Israel!

There is a website that currently lists each letter in the Hebrew alphabet with a link to Scripture that identifies the Jewish Messiah. The image below is what is currently appearing at the site (as this writing is being composed. Visit the site at: Messiah Comes (messiah.com.es)

If you are Jewish or gentile, everyone needs t see how incredibly the truth of Messiah is interwoven throughout the Hebrew and Greek texts. This complex relationship in the biblical text is actually a testimony in itself. After all, 100s of years span the times when these writings were recorded, but a unity of that authorship is focused on the Messiah and the events that are yet to come in this day and age (in an era slated to end with Messiah’s return).

Take a moment and look at the web site and the Scripture references and please share this information with a Jewish or gentile person who needs to understand the incredible complexity and specificity of the Scriptures.

NO PEACE in MAY …

Posted on by

The following excerpts from news posted at Watch.org are very telling … with respect that no peace pact will come to Israel in March, or April, or May … and frankly, those who have read the Scriptures know what to look for … we are told there the peace pact will be a seven year covenant in a time when Israel lives without walls … NO PEACE, NO WAY, until then.  Also of interest is Putin’s apparent desire to grater power and with access to strategic territories that will only make it easier to move forces to the south … Gog and Magog … is that it?

Stay tuned, because if you really think about it, humanity is not about living in peace, stewardship, or extending the prospects for life on earth … why?  Because everyone has some sort of material or national agenda … and that is why we say information from both science and scripture have relevance … so visit WindowView for more on that, but for now … WHAT do the following headlines tell you!

Susan Rice to Netanyahu: Only two-state solution can bring peace with Palestinians

Not reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran is preferable to signing a bad accord, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Wednesday, soon after meeting with visiting US National Security Advisor Susan Rice.  Rice arrived in the country earlier in the day as part of a high-level US delegation. Members of the delegation came to consult with their Israeli counterparts about Iran and other strategic issues prior to another round of talks between the P5+1 and Iran in Vienna next week, and as work went on to formulate a final nuclear deal. Following the Rice meeting – a meeting the Prime Minister’s Office was not willing to discuss – Netanyahu met with a delegation from the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF). The brief statement issued about that meeting made the gist of Netanyahu’s message to Rice clear.

Meeting Abbas, Rice outlines ‘constructive’ path forward for peace with Israel

Any power-sharing Palestinian government must recognize the state of Israel, renounce violence and adhere to previous agreements, whether it includes Hamas or not, US National Security Advisor Susan Rice told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas during their meeting in Ramallah on Thursday.  According to the White House, Rice made “clear… the principles that must guide a Palestinian government in order for it to play a constructive role in achieving peace and building an independent Palestinian state.”

“She reiterated US policy that any Palestinian government must unambiguously and explicitly commit to nonviolence, recognition of the State of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations between the parties,” the White House said in a statement after the meeting.

US envoy Indyk insists peace process not dead

Washington’s top negotiator criticizes both sides for failed talks, saying Netanyahu was ‘flexible’ despite approving settlements.  While delivering scathing condemnations of the behavior of both sides, Washington’s chief negotiator in the recent Israeli-Palestinian talks denied Thursday that the peace process was over.  In his most revealing comments since the breakdown of talks, Ambassador Martin Indyk recounted Thursday evening how, after six months of productive direct negotiations, Palestinian leaders “shut down” and singled out settlement activity as a major – but not the sole – factor.

“We have passed the nine-month marker for these negotiations, and for the time being the talks have been suspended,” Indyk said, addressing the Washington Institute for Near East Policy’s Weinberg Founders Conference in Washington DC. “Some have said this process is over. But that is not correct. As my little story testifies. As you all know well— in the Middle East, it’s never over.”

Roads blocked, schools closed as freak rains flood country, flash floods from Eilat to the Dead Sea

Unseasonable storm wreaks havoc in south; flash floods reported from Eilat to Dead Sea.  Schools near the Dead Sea were shut and several roads in the area were blocked by authorities Thursday morning as a rare tropical storm dumped rain across the country causing flash floods and wreaking havoc in the south of the country.  Wednesday night and Thursday morning saw heavy rains and thunderstorms across the country, a rare occurrence so late into the spring. The rain brought dry riverbeds to life, flooding low-lying areas, especially in the Judean Desert and Negev in the south of the country. By Thursday morning the city of Arad reported 44 millimeters of rain had fallen from the storm, 40 times the average for this time of year, according to the Israel Meteorological Service. Jerusalem saw 32 millimeters, Beersheba 24 millimeters and Ra’anana 45 millimeters. Tel Aviv, however, only saw 15 millimeters.

Top Netanyahu aide: Here’s proof Abbas deliberately destroyed peace talks

Analysis: Countering US narrative, some Israeli sources
insist Netanyahu negotiated sincerely

Putin oversees Russian Nuclear forces exercise

President Vladimir Putin on Thursday oversaw a military exercise involving Russia’s nuclear forces amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.  While Putin said the exercise had been planned back in November, it comes as relations between Russia and the West have plunged to their lowest point since the Cold War over Ukraine.  Putin, speaking from the Defense Ministry’s headquarters where he oversaw the exercise along with leaders of several ex-Soviet nations which are members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, said that the maneuvers involved the military across the entire Russian territory, including the nation’s nuclear forces.  Russian news wires said that the exercises simulated dealing a massive retaliatory nuclear strike in response to an enemy attack. The description of the exercise is unusually blunt, reflecting tensions with the West running high over Ukraine.

Putin says Russian troops pull back from Ukraine border

Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Wednesday that his military had pulled back from the Ukrainian border — but a top Pentagon official told Fox News that the U.S. military had not seen any changes in the deployment of Russian forces.  Putin also urged pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine to postpone Sunday’s referendum on secession. Putin said Russian troops had pulled back to training grounds and locations for “regular exercises,” but didn’t specify whether those locations were in areas near Ukraine.

Putin Warns of Growing Militant Nationalism, Nazi Ideology in Europe

NATO’s top military commander in Europe said on Monday he no longer thought regular Russian troops would enter eastern Ukraine, predicting Moscow could achieve its goals through the unconventional forces stirring up trouble there.  U.S. air force Gen. Philip Breedlove said it was a completely false Russian narrative that it was only Ukrainians rebelling in the east of their country, saying it was clear that special forces troops from Russia were operating there as they did in Crimea before its annexation.  “Remember that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin denied their presence and now he has admitted to their presence in Crimea. The same thing will come out of Ukraine as time rolls out,” he told a military and diplomatic audience in Ottawa.

Pew Global Survey: Public Backs Putin, Crimea’s Secession, Putin is overwhelmingly popular

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s handling of the crisis in Ukraine has met with considerable opposition in Western nations and much of the international community, as well as in Ukraine itself, but Russians have largely rallied around their leader. Putin is overwhelmingly popular, and Russian national pride appears to be on the rise. In fact, a plurality thinks Putin’s handling of the crisis has improved Russia’s international stature.  A large majority of Russians believe the recent referendum in Crimea was free and fair, and that Kyiv (Kiev) should accept the results and allow Crimea to join Russia. Crimea is only one of Russia’s territorial grievances, and as they have in previous surveys, a majority of Russians say they believe there are parts of neighboring countries that really belong to Russia.  Meanwhile, tensions with the West have led to a dramatic spike in negative views about the U.S. and the European Union. Similarly, both U.S. President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are held in low regard.

Spend some time at your window and think about what is really happening in the world today … it looks like it could get a lot worse before it gets better.
