    Like Ephraim and Manasseh

    In Jewish families, on Friday nights, while the family is gathering around the Sabbath table, the father lays his hands on his children and blesses them. To his sons he says, "May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh." To his daughters he says, "May God make you like Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah."

    The Second Temptation

    Why did Satan tempt Yeshua to jump off a tall building? What's so "tempting" about that? The second temptation in the wilderness must be understood as a unique challenge to Yeshua’s messianic identity. Leaping from the Temple height unharmed would have brought Yeshua a shortcut to messianic fame.
