#2. Bill Rasmussen in Minnesota: Denial of the Two Houses "is a desecration of the scriptures"!
Shalom Yair,
Just a small comment on Bill Rasmussen's disdain for those who use the Tetragrammaton. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's fine as long as if it's detrimental, it is kept to themselves. While Scripture reveals that The Almighty desires that we call upon Him, common sense would tell us we should use His Name and Scripture bears this out. There are many ways to "pronounce" the Tetragrammaton. The use of it by others doesn't necessarily mean they are "cultish". They most likely believe and feel it is only proper to speak and pray in His Name. The truth of this matter is known at this time, only by One and that is The Almighty.
I use the Tetragrammaton, but out of respect for the Jewish understanding, try to use Almighty when writing to you or any other of Jewish faith. I don't wish to offend. I don't belong to a "cult" or group of any sort. I study, I teach my family the Word and live among Gentiles and do my best to not offend anyone.
There are countless opinions and beliefs out there at this time. Only one is most likely correct and who knows for certain if anyone has got it right. Let the Scriptures speak for themselves and let the heart guide us. If the Almighty sees our heart, even if we get it wrong, He will still be pleased. after all, it's not the fault of those who are now coming out of Babylon as the truth is suppressed in so many areas as you well know and are a most diligent servant to help others see and know the truth.
Blessings, mb

2. New Article. Attempted Seduction
Joseph and the Wife of Potiphera
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/genesis/seduction.html
Extracts:
What male ego is not flattered by female attention? and vice-versa?
Perhaps he was in doubt?
The female grabs his cloak and he runs out without it, at least half-naked.
Why did he not take the cloak off her by force?
How strong could she have been?
Was he afraid of himself? of giving in?
Steven Mathe in an (as yet unpublished article) article points out that Joseph had proved his integrity.
If he was trustworthy in that way he could have been trusted in other matters.
Mathe opines: #Due to the virtue of keeping of the covenant of responsibility with his master, Joseph was catapulted into directing responsible government across the board in Egypt.#Â
Genesis 41:
43 He [Pharoah] had him ride in the chariot of his second-in-command; and they cried out in front of him, 'Avrech'. Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt.
 The term 'Avrech' is related to the Aramaic 'rica' meaning 'ruler' and the Germanic 'reich' /'rulership' (Rashi). 'Avrech' can connote both 'bow the knee' and 'Father-Ruler' .
The seed of Joseph were to become rulers of the world. The British Empire and US hegemony were to be theirs.
It was not for nothing.

3. Proverbs 21:19-21. Options of Existence
Proverbs 21:
19 It is better to live in a land of wilderness
  than with a contentious wife and anger.
20 Precious treasure and oil [richness] in the domain of the wise,
  but the fool of a man will devour it.
21 Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
  will find life, righteousness, and honour.
