Remember the following two truth’s from our beloved Scriptures!

“Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM IT, that ye may keep the commandments of יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם - the LORD your Eloleichem, which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

Remember we are Never Alone!

Davarim - Deuteronomy Chapter 31, verse 6.

JPS-1917 version of the Torah.

חִזְקוּ וְאִמְצוּ, אַל-תִּירְאוּ וְאַל-תַּעַרְצוּ מִפְּנֵיהֶם: כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, הוּא הַהֹלֵךְ עִמָּךְ-לֹא יַרְפְּךָ, וְלֹא יַעַזְבֶךָּ

“Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them; for יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ - the LORD thy Eloheycha (God), He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee’”.

“The Hebrew Timeline”

The new faith called Judaism was wholly created by rabbis,

They called it “Rabbinic Judaism”.

With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.

It is a great pleasure to provide with this comprehensive ‘Hebraic Timeline’ from Adam to the re-establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

This timeline was originally created in the mid 1980’s and was placed online in 1989. I am well aware it has been copied without permission on a number of times. However, bless them as long it is used for a good cause!

Rabbi Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens. (now 80 years of age, very ill in a hospital bed at home).
