Miriam is the Mother of Mercy and is the perfect mirror (Mariah) of the 13 attributes or aspects of Mercy (Chesed). 13 is the number of Our Lady of Fatima as well as Queen Esther, who in turn is a type of Our Lady. The numbers one (echad) and love (ahavah) also are numerically 13 in Hebrew.

Commentary and translation by Brother Gilbert Joseph of the Divine Presence LEB.

I belong to the group called Yachad BeYeshua which is a united voice for Messianic Jews and Jews in the Churches - Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant. This is the latest Press release.

Chasidut is the Jewish understanding of Mercy (Chesed) in action and is linked to the 13 Attributes or Aspects of Mercy. It is also linked to the 10 Sefirot and the three lights within the Godhead.

I tried to experiment with some images of the prophets Enoch and Elijah carrying the Ark of the Covenant with the Blessed Sacrament on top as taught by St Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic saints and scholars.

The term Holy Grail firstly is used for the Eucharistic Cup of the Last Supper and it is also used for the Grail Platter used at the Supper as well as the other cups, vessels and plates used by the Apostles  and Jesus at the Last Supper.

I believe the above map known as the Babylonian World Map also called the Imago Mundi is a Babylonian attempt of depicting roughly and simply the earth after the Flood, when it was still in the shape of the Pangaea.

I was watching a youtube documentary about a genetic bottleneck dated to the Neolithic period in which 95% of males died out due to being killed by violence.

My maternal grandfather's y-dna is of clades of DF27 that is found in the Anglo-sphere countries, where the Bartram family have lived for 500 years but further back it is Spanish. The other families they intermarried with were also English families of crypto-Jewish Spanish ancestry.

Recently someone referred me to the teaching of a man called Dr Antonio Yague and his ideas about the Bible and astronomical events. I went to watch a you tube video in which he was being interviewed by the compere of Mother and Refuge of the End Times.

The Angel of YHVH or Yahoel is also called Memra (The Divine Word in Aramaic) and Metatron. He is Azbuga the one with the eight-fold name. AZ=8, BU=8 and GA = 8.

In this blog post I have gathered a number of article I have written about St Joseph and the Divine Will. Likutey is a Hebrew word meaning gathering or collection and is the drawing on diverse sources. St Joseph is always present mystically with Jesus and Mary in every holy hour.

Patrick Harrington in his article in the Sun entitled "Ancient pyramid hidden for Millennia unearthed" speaks about the ruins of an ancient Pyramid found in the so-called Norte Chico or Caral-Supe Civisiation in Peru in February 2025.

As people who follow my posts would know I have been open to the prophecies of the alleged Catholic visionary Luz de Maria Bonilla.

Some anti-Judaic Catholics have accused Hebrew Catholics of being involved in a Jewish conspiracy to make themselves the elect in the Church and to create a Jewish ghetto that practices Jewish customs in order to exclude Gentiles.

In the Jewish mystical tradition there are 13 attributes or aspects of Divine Mercy or Chesed which are seen as 13 shining letters of the triangular mem in the Hebrew Alphabet. These are part of the creative spiritual or upper waters of Genesis 1.

The Sefer Zohar (Book of Radiance), which is a mystical and hidden or concealed Marian commentary on the five books of the Torah, opens quoting the verse from the Song of Songs (2:2) about one who is a ‘shoshanah’ among the thorns.

I think it is pretty clear from the writings of Pope Benedict XVI that when the Church and the Catechism speak of the Old Covenant it is the Mosaic covenant as the core Covenant which includes the Abrahamic Covenant (which preceded) and t

In the Jewish tradition Satan as Samael the Serpent in the Garden of Eden is described as riding a camel-like (Gamal) creature. This is also linked to the concept of the Serafim as winged Serpents.

The Mystical Jewish Book of Bahir mentions this Sepentine Camel:

200.

Vladimir Soloviev

This blog post is some gleanings in my writings on Vladimir Soloviev. Some information will be repetitive as being drawn from different articles I have written.

Vladimir Soloviev (1853-1900) the great Russian Orthodox philosopher and mystic proclaimed that it would be the Jews as a spiritual-ethnic identity that would bring about the reunion of the Western and Eastern Churches.

I just watched a presentation by Angela Costley, a British Hebrew Catholic and Scripture Scholar and Theologian, on the Jewish roots of the Mass in the Temple and its sacrifices and the Passover Seder. It was an informative and excellent presentation.

The Hebrew word Komah is derived from the root קוּם (kum), meaning "to rise" or "to stand." Komah mainly refers to physical height or stature. It may be used to describe the height of individuals, objects, or structures.

I have noticed that on the internet there seems to be a resurgence of interest in the coming of the future Catholic Great Monarch. We should be cautious of more recent claimed locutionists and visionaries and their messages as many of them are not authentic.

About Me
I am a Hebrew Catholic or Catholic Jew. I adhere totally with the infallible teachings on faith and morals of the Catholic Church and I believe that Pope Francis is the Messiah's chief representative on earth. I do not write to proselytize religious Jews but to share my ideas with my fellow Catholic Jews and also with Gentile Catholics who are interested in the Jewish roots of the Catholic faith. These are my personal thoughts and do not represent those of any group I may belong to.
