Cepher Blog

  Many of us, having been reared in the Christian tradition, were taught a prayer that is recited by rote in virtually every Western language. For instance, here is the prayer in Russian: Отче наш, сущий на небесах! да святится имя Твое; да приидет Царствие Твое; да будет воля Твоя и на зем... Read More

The King James Authorized Version of 1611 says the following: Sing vnto God, sing praises to his Name: extoll him that rideth vpon the heauens, by his Name Iah, and reioyce before him. Psalm 68:4 KJV-AV With this, we can see that the name has always been known, yet suppressed in favor of the vu... Read More

A recent review of the myth concerning Romulus and Remus evidenced a factual pattern that appeared to me to be a bit conspicuous and repetitive. As a “pattern recognition specialist” (thanks Ashton Lawson), I took a closer look. According to Brittany Garcia, in her post of 18 April 20... Read More

We begin with a discussion of the scarlet: And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying: 2 This shall be the Torah of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: 3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of lepro...

  Now Yashar’el loved Yoceph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 37:3 וְיִשְׂרָאֵל אָהַב אֶת־יוֹסֵף מִכָּל־בָּנָיו כִּי־בֶן־זְקֻנִים הוּא לוֹ וְעָשָׂה לוֹ כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים׃ V’Yas... Read More

  Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying: Of a truth you are the Son of Elohiym. Mattithyahu (Matthew) 14:33 Here is this phrase we see the use of the Greek terms θεου υιος (Theos uios). The practice of the את ... Read More

There are those who flat-footedly declare the book of Jasher to be fake, claiming that the book was somehow reverse engineered, using Bible texts that appear to quote from it (and the examples are set forth herein) as just the opposite – that the writer(s) of Yashar somehow quoted the existing...

As my studies continue, I find the correlation between scripture and the revelation of the science of genetics to be astounding. For instance, we see the very first book of scripture to be identified as Genesis. One deduction, which can be achieved in discernment, is to break this word into two word... Read More

The Scriptural Foundations of Chanukah (originally published on 12/01/13) For so many, Chanukkah is a problem. The eight day festival which begins on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month on the biblical calendar is practiced by those in Judaism, yet it does not have its establishment on this da...

And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the Cepher of the Torah of Mosheh, which Yahuah had commanded to Yashar’el. 2 And Ezra the priest brought the Torah before the assembly both...

Reconciliation - a mighty word in a fallen world. As we look to the schema that is modern life, can we say we are happy with our current condition? Many things have gone wrong with the world we expected; the world we were promised; the world we thought we knew. But, even as far as our misgivings hav... Read More

Much of the discussion in the prophetic community today concerns the ominous idea of a third temple being built - that somehow the sealed and cryptic prophecies of Daniy'el might come to be revealed in our time. How often have we heard that a "third" temple would be built, and that the "antichrist" ... Read More

One of the interesting things about the את Cepher scriptures is its inclusion of the Cepher Chanoch (Book of Enoch). For those who know of this book, you know that there are actually three books of Enoch.  First is the Cepher Chanoch (Book of Enoch) as found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which is se... Read More

While there are many disparities among believers - whether it be the name of the Creator, the Savior, the calendar, the shape of the earth, even the tenets and expectation of the faith - we are yet called to a common understanding. Can we reach that, or will we always be at odds with one another? ... Read More

There is much to discuss when raising the issue of the house of Yashar’el (Israel). Prophecy was given by Ya’aqov (Jacob); designation was given by Mosheh (Moses); stones were selected and placed for the priest. And importantly, standards were raised over their houses. What were these ... Read More

In the את Cepher Millennium Edition, we make use of the word caphire (pronounced the same as sapphire). Some of you may have questions concerning this, so let’s take a look and see what is going on in the Cepher. We begin with the following: Shemoth (Exodus) 24:9-10 Then went up Mosheh, an...

There is a time of indignation. A time when the whole land will be destroyed. Have we arrived at such a time? There are those who believe that the current course of action will remain efficacious – that which worked before will work again, given the assumption that the path of decadence has... Read More

Recently, at the World Humanist Congress and the World Founding Congress of Freethought at Oslo on 19 February 2012, a certain Dr. Vijayam told the audience the following: “There is no force on earth which can stop the onward march of atheism. The growth of science, scientific outlook, and ... Read More

(This blog has been updated with scriptures from the Millennium Edition את Cepher.) Let’s begin with an understanding of the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (interpreted in English as the Holy Spirit): The phrase Ruach Qodesh’u appears only twice in the Tanakh: Yesha`yahu 63:10 and 63:11. (... Read More

Have we arrived at the prophecy of Yekhezq'el (Ezekiel) 38 and 39? Can we look to find Gog and Magog? Is our age-old understanding of this prophecy even correct? Do we really know who is Israel? And what is the land of unwalled villages? Are there other prophecies throughout scripture which can give... Read More

  Recently, a friend of the Cepher wrote as follows: I have been very curious about the "swearing seven oaths" phrase throughout Bere'shiyth.  One example is chapter 47 verse 31: And he said, Swear seven oaths unto me. And he swore seven oaths unto him. And Yashar'el bowed himse... Read More

Recently, a friend of the Cepher wrote and said, “I’m trying to understand why this verse is vastly different than many other translations.” Let’s take a look: For Yahuah is the essence, and the Shabbath; the Son of A’dam. Mattithyahu (Matthew) 12:8  In compa... Read More

This post is a result of a discussion held on during a Sabbath meeting in October, when we had the opportunity to discuss the Ivriyth text minus the Masoretic vowel points to get an idea as to what was really being said. So we start with the name of Esau. As we know, this is a condemned name: Th... Read More

In respect of the mandate to receive the gene therapy developed by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. It is written: Yahusha said unto him: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. Yochanon (John) 14:6 For those who pursue righteousne... Read More

A critic of the Cepher™ asks the question: "What is the Cepher Bible?" Of course, they answer their own question, and their analysis is worthy of discussion. The reduction of the books available to the average reader of scripture from the robust selection of manuscripts generally available ... Read More

Because we publish more than 66 books in the Cephertm, we are often accused of "adding to the word".  Nothing could be further from the truth, and that statement simply reveals the accuser's lack of understanding as to the context of the commands given in Devariym (Deuteronomy) 4... Read More

By Dr. Stephen Pidgeon What books have been identified in scripture that we have not included in the Cephertm? A quick review of even the most redacted versions of the bible will reveal the following list of books which have not been located in modernity. Book of Wars (Bemidbar/Numbers 21:14) B... Read More

As we near the Pecach, the command to be circumcised has come before the Qodeshiym, asking: Is it necessary to be physically circumcised as it is understood in the modern world? Let’s consider a couple of verses first: Devariym (Deuteronomy) 10:16 Circumcise therefore את the foreskin o... Read More

Recently, a friend of the את Cepher asked the question: If the 1260 day war in heaven started on Sept 23 2017... and Satan is about to be kicked out of heaven, cast to the earth... what does that mean... practically... for us living through this time? This is a great question that has concerned me... Read More

It is often claimed by those with a rudimentary understanding of the Ivriyt (Hebrew) language that the word – or title, if you will – Elohiym (אֱלֹהִים) means gods. The logic is that the word El is finalized with the masculine plural suffix iym, therefore it means gods. However, we wil... Read More

Recently a friend of the Cepher wrote us concerning an interesting phrase found in the Cepher Iyov (the book of Job).  Here is the verse: Iyov (Job) 2:9 Then said his woman unto him, Do you still retain your integrity? Bless Elohiym, and die. Most texts read “curse God and die”... Read More

Chizayon (Revelation) 11:1  And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the Temple of Elohiym, and the altar, and them that worship therein. The word translated as reed in this verse is κάλαμος kalamos (Str... Read More

The Cepher of the Prophet Chanoch is a text which we have included within the confines of the את CEPHER. It is a wonderful book and actually contains many discreet segments.  We will take a look at those segments here. We begin with the intended audience for the Cepher Chanoch: Chanoch... Read More

We have elected to include the Cepher of the Prophet Chanoch (also known as 1 Enoch) within the confines of the את CEPHER. While some historians have rejected Chanoch (Enoch) as heresy, Kepha Sheniy (2 Peter) 2:4-5 indicates that one of the believers in Chanoch (Enoch) was Kepha himself, for he stat... Read More

Recently, a friend of the את CEPHER wrote and asked a few especially important questions … My brothers and I have been engaged in a weekly Bible study.  My brother gave me a beautiful copy of your את CEPHER.  We finished reading the book of Acts last week and the את CEPHER version... Read More

Now there comes a time when you read the words of the prophet, and you discover that which you did not know had ever been said. This is what is found here. Baruch Sheniy (2 Baruch) 77:12-26 Nevertheless, do this for us your people: write also to our brethren in Babel a Cepher of doctrine and a Cep... Read More

Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 9:20 And Noach began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

A friend of the Cepher recently made the following inquiry concerning the teaching of Pa’al found in Qolasiym (Colossians) 2:14-17:  In regard to these verses, how do I address someone in answer to needing to still keep the Saturday Sabbath? Let’s take a look at the scripture its... Read More

Recently, there has been a great deal of discussion concerning the name Jesus. Many of those who have come up through the churches in America find no other name relevant. However, as the Hebraic movement began to assert influence in the faith world, one name has come up without question, and that ... Read More

There is an interesting passage that has come before us and is worthy of discussion, namely Luqas (Luke) 17:34-37. KJV-AV (1611) I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shal be taken, the other shall be left. 35 Two women shall bee grinding together; the one shall be ... Read More

Recently a friend asked the question: Can you help me understand further the way in which you all have decided to group the books (Neviy''iym, Trei Asar, etc.) and their chronology, please ... even just a basic explanation?
