Hopefull the BLOG
Welcome to Hope-full, the blog—a space for faith-rooted reflections, in-depth Bible studies, and Spirit-led truth for everyday life. Here, we wrestle with Scripture, walk through restoration, and grow in wisdom as we follow Yahushua. Whether you're seeking clarity, courage, or comfort, may you find hope woven into every word.
Gehenna: The Valley of Fire and the Judgment of Yahweh
Gehenna is more than a word for “hell.” It was a real valley outside Jerusalem where child sacrifices defiled Yahweh’s people. Prophets renamed it the Valley of Slaughter, and Yahushua used it to warn of eternal fire and final judgment. From Jeremiah’s curses to James’s warning about the tongue set on fire by Gehenna, Scripture paints a sobering picture: rebellion leads to destruction, but Yahushua is the Door to life.
The Blood Before Us: Curse or Life
“Life is in the Blood.” The cry of the crowd before Pilate in Matthew 27 is often seen as a curse. But when read through the lens of Isaiah, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, it reveals the covenant choice Yahweh sets before us all: life or death.
Spiritual Coverings: Why Only Messiah Can Clothe You
In Scripture, a covering is anything placed over a person by design—to protect, clothe, represent, or declare ownership. It marks identity, alignment, and authority. A covering can either be a blessing—a sign of Yahweh’s covenant—or a counterfeit that binds, burdens, or blinds.
Coverings can be physical, spiritual, or symbolic.
But not all coverings are holy.
Some are ordained by Yahweh, woven into His covenant promises.
Others are man-made or demonic counterfeits, built from pride, fear, rebellion, or shame.
The Scapegoat at the Gate: When the Church Rejects the Word
People call you loud, or offensive.
But it’s not volume they’re reacting to—
it’s the weight of truth you carry.
And truth makes people squirm.
Their darkness reacting to your light, and often neither knows its taking place.
It happens in the workplace.
It happens in families.
And yes, it happens—painfully—in churches.
“You Are a Samaritan and Have a Demon”: How the Pharisees Fulfilled the Spirit of Sennacherib
When the Pharisees accused Yahushua in John 8:48, saying, “Do we not say well that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”, they weren’t just slinging random insults. They were revealing a deep spiritual pattern of rebellion that reaches all the way back to Ephraim, Sennacherib, and the divided kingdom of Israel.
Was King David A Samaritan?
If you’ve been watching Amazon’s new show House of David, you might have some of the same questions I do. The series makes several references to King David’s childhood, including the claim that he was a bastard. Like many productions, it takes creative liberties with Biblical history—but it’s crucial that we turn to Scripture to understand the truth of God’s Word.
Deciphering Ancient Narratives: A Comprehensive Study of the Moabite Stone
The Moabite Stone, or Mesha Stele, stands as one of the most significant archaeological finds in the ancient Near East, providing crucial insight into the biblical world. Discovered in 1868, the stone bears the inscription of King Mesha of Moab, commemorating his military victories over Israel and his restoration of Moabite sovereignty over territory once controlled by Israel. Notably, it mentions the "House of David," marking the first external reference to King David.
Yahushua, the Rock—Our Victory in Spiritual Battles
David defeated Goliath by trusting in God, not worldly armor. This Bible study shows how Jesus, the Rock, secures our victory in spiritual battles.
Praise Him according to His Excellent Greatness
