17 After Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them along the road to the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, “The people might change their minds if they see war and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Sea of Reeds, and Bnei-Yisrael went up out of the land of Egypt armed. 19 Moses also took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made Bnei-Yisrael swear an oath saying, “God will surely remember you, and then you are to carry my bones away with you.”[a] 20 So they journeyed from Succoth and encamped in Etham, on the edge of the wilderness. 21 Adonai went before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead the way and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light. So they could travel both day and night. [b] 22 The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night never departed from the people. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%20Exodus%2013%3A17-15%3A26&version=TLV |

The Lamb of God is Resurrected20 Early in the morning on the first day of the week, while it is still dark, Miriam from Magdala comes to the tomb. She sees that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb. 2 So she comes running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Yeshua loved. She tells them, “They’ve taken the Master out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put Him!” 3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out, going to the tomb. 4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and arrived at the tomb first. 5 Leaning in, he sees the linen strips lying there. But he didn’t go in. 6 Then Simon Peter comes following him, and he entered the tomb. He looks upon the linen strips lying there, 7 and the face cloth that had been on His head. It was not lying with the linen strips, but was rolled up in a place by itself. 8 So then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also entered. He saw and believed. 9 For they did not yet understand from Scripture that Yeshua must rise from the dead. [a] 10 So the disciples went back to their own homes. Yeshua Appears to Miriam11 But Miriam stood outside the tomb weeping. As she was weeping, she bent down to look into the tomb. 12 She sees two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where Yeshua’s body had been lying. 13 “Woman, why are you crying?” they say to her. She says to them, “Because they took away my Master, and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.” 14 After she said these things, she turned around. And she sees Yeshua standing there. Yet she didn’t know that it was Yeshua. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%20John%2020%3A1-14&version=TLV |

Blood on the Door
Blood on the Door
Blood on the Door is a profound exploration of the redemptive power of Yeshua (Jesus) and how His saving blood serves as the gateway to salvation. This enlightening book also delves into the symbolic significance of the Mezuzah, drawing parallels between God's Word and the covenantal blood on the doorpost of the Cross.
By examining the Mezuzah from both Jewish and Christian perspectives, Dr. de Ruiter's work highlights its role as a profound reminder of God's Word in our lives. In "Christians and the Mezuzah," readers from all backgrounds will gain a deeper understanding of the significance and relevance of this ancient practice. Dr. de Ruiter compellingly reveals that the biblical reminders found on doorposts and within the Mezuzah box are not solely for the Jewish community but are also integral to Christian faith.
Roots of our faith
As the Church increasingly recognizes the importance of understanding our Jewish roots, readers may find themselves captivated by the mysterious little box affixed to the doorposts of Jewish homes. Beginning with the first chapter, Dr. de Ruiter intrica
tely explains the true nature and purpose of the Mezuzah. This thought-provoking book addresses questions such as: What exactly is a Mezuzah? Why should Christians pay attention to it? Is it merely a tradition, or does it hold deeper spiritual significance?
Unfortunately, in a world increasingly influenced by political correctness and its humanist underpinnings, expressing our faith becomes increasingly challenging. Symbols like the Mezuzah, which carry profound spiritual meaning, are not often embraced as politically correct expressions of faith. Nonetheless, this book fearlessly explores the importance of reclaiming and appreciating these sacred symbols in the face of cultural pressures.
Available from Amazon in Paperback, Hardback, and on the Kindle.
