Former US Marine, Michael Rood, dares to go where few men have gone before; to challenge long-standing traditions and man-made religious systems and to guide all "who have ears to hear" to a historically accurate interpretation and rational understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Michael Rood has earned his reputation as the Messianic matador who waves his tattered red cape in the face of the religious bull of this generation, finally roasting the golden calf of churchianity and serving it up with the leaven-free bread of life.
Michael's television series: Prepare for A Rood Awakening! from Israel has been heralded as the most energetic exposition of Scriptural truth to come out of Israel in over a millennium!

Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: Truly you shall keep My Sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am YeHoVaH who sanctifies you.

Instructions for War
“When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and a people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for Yehovah your God is with you, the One who brought you up from the land of Egypt.” — Deuteronomy 20:1
In this chapter, the Torah speaks of physical wars. Yet in doing so, Yehovah reveals a most considerate and loving side of His nature, for He Himself instructs His people on how war should be conducted. We must be clear: these instructions were not about the conquest of Canaan. The seven nations who dwelt there were to be utterly uprooted because of their occult practices, their perversions, and their idolatry. But when Israel would engage in wars beyond its borders—wars of expansion that would come as a natural result of walking in obedience to the Torah—the procedure was different.
First, they were to offer terms of peace. If the city accepted, its people would become tributaries and servants of Israel. But if they refused, the city would be besieged; and once it fell, all the men were to be put to death, while the women, children, and livestock would be spared. The spoil of such nations would belong to Israel.
These verses set forth the terms by which Israel was to conduct war against towns distant from Israel’s inheritance. It was not to be waged in a cruel, mercenary manner. A proposal of peace was to be offered; and if that offer was refused—if negotiations failed—they were to proceed without hesitation.

A Rood Awakening!
Two flags, one strait— here we analyze the emerging Israel–Yemen standoff and why the Red Sea’s Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint could disrupt global shipping lanes, timelines, and costs. With clear maps and trajectory/radar overlays, we unpack the attack-vs-defend dynamic, the regional actors involved, and the ripple effects on ports, insurance, and prices. We also consider the biblical lens (Sheba & Dedan in Ezekiel 38–39) alongside current geopolitics so you can form your own view with facts and context. If this helps, please subscribe, like, and share—and tell me in the comments: politics, prophecy, or both?

📖 This week’s Torah portion lays down fundamental principles of justice for life in Israel. It also reminds us that the king himself was to be chosen by Yehovah. But here’s the big question: what was the king commanded to write and read every single day of his life?

On August 24, 2025, at sunset (concluding the 29th day of the month of Av in the biblical Hebrew calendar), the sighting of the new moon (Rosh Chodesh) was confirmed in Israel by reliable witnesses, without the use of binoculars or cameras.
This sighting fulfills the biblical requirements of Deuteronomy 16:1 and marks the beginning of the sixth biblical month (Elul), which officially began at sunset on August 24 and will continue until sunset on August 25.

I remembered the days of old; I meditated on all Your works; I pondered the work of Your hands. I stretched out my hands to You; my soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Let me hear of Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You I trust; Show me the way I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.

A Rood Awakening!
The parashah Re’eh, meaning “see” in Hebrew, opens a deeply pivotal moment in Moses’ final words to Israel. As a faithful shepherd nearing the end of his journey, he places before the people a solemn and sacred choice: life or death, blessing or curse. It is a divine invitation to walk in obedience and receive Yehovah’s favor—or to turn away and face the consequences.
This message is delivered as the nation stands on the threshold of the Promised Land, in the plains of Moab, just across the Jordan. The people are about to enter a new chapter, and Moses, knowing his time is short, urges them to open their eyes—to see clearly the path Yehovah sets before them. Soon, Joshua will rise to lead, but in this moment, the weight of covenant and destiny hangs in the balance.

A Rood Awakening!
Half a million Israelis flooded the streets of Tel Aviv in one of the largest demonstrations in the country's history, led by the families of hostages demanding an agreement to bring back their loved ones and greater accountability from the government. This video explains what triggered the protest, the main demands of both sides, and how this mass movement could influence the war, negotiations, and Israel's political future. What you'll see: aerial views of the crowd on Kaplan and surrounding streets, voices of the families and organizers (“Bring Them Home”), a timeline on the ground of the night march and police response, and a clear explanation of the main demands and political interests at stake.

Unity and compassion: a call from Eden 🌿
The story of Adam and Eve is not just an ancient tale... it is a living reminder of our divine heritage and a call to action.
Unity is not a distant concept; it is recognizing that we all share the same origin and destiny.
Compassion is the language of that unity: a love that transcends differences, restores, and heals.
Just as the fall in Eden affected all of humanity, the invitation to return to Yehovah is for everyone. Let us walk together toward restoration, allowing justice, mercy, and empathy to guide our steps.
✨ When we unite in love, we reflect the heart of our Creator.
#Unity #Compassion #Hope #Restoration #Faith
