  1. I like to see if there is an illustration behind the listed names in verses.

    From Neh 8:4
    Ezra = "help"
    Mattithiah = "gift of Yahweh"
    Shema = "hear"
    Anaiah = "Yahweh has answered"
    Uriah or Urijah = "Yahweh is my light (flame)"
    Hilkiah = "my portion is Yahweh"
    Maaseiah = "work of Yahweh"
    Pedaiah = "Yahweh has ransomed"
    Mishael = "who is what God is"
    Malchijah or Malchiah = "my king is Yahweh"
    Hashum = "rich"
    Hashbadana = "considerate judge"
    Zechariah = "Yahweh remembers"
    Meshullam = "friend"

  2. See Lev 23:23-25 as to why this is an important day for God's children.

  3. Chapter 9 makes the Way of life and Way of death so clear. It even uses illustrations from their past. These ways are established, and proven many times over.

    Should we expect a different Way? Did the Messiah show, teach, or live a new Way to the Father or did he magnify, lift up, and exemplify the Way of life?

    Seriously. Any thoughts?
