Wow! What a head-filler of Torah info. Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeshitz was a fantastic riddle solver. A true Torah Giant. I loved this read. Each page is marked with insights beyond understanding; Kabbala insights. Fascinating!
Having a long history of reading the Bible and currently devoting myself to an independent study of Judaism I found this book next level. I felt I was involved in a master Torah puzzle-solving workshop. I learned a deep well full of living-water things. And unlike The Koran, I feel my Christian faith (like Japheth's) in God through Jesus, is included amongst the people of Israel.
My spiritual journey has brought the likes of Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeshitz to explain God even deeper than I had imagined God to be. Rabbis solve things; complex things. Jews are magnificent scholars and devoted souls, and I'm in love with them and their Faith. I love their God, and I love their relationship with that God. I consider myself blessed to be grafted into the Jewish world through their God's love. This book, (and Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe's podcasts), has reviled this blessing for all inquisitive gentiles like me.
'"To You nations will come from the ends of the earth' refers to the gentiles who live in proximity to the north and south pole. 'Only lies have our fathers handed down to us' means we are not true idol worshippers; we are simply following in the footsteps of our ancestors, who taught us falsehoods. We really want to serve the true God." Yermiyahu 16:19, explained in The Messianic Era; From the North and South Poles. Pearls of Wisdom (Pg. 238)
