Finding this book has been a blessing for me. My desire to learn more about The Father and Yeshua led me to many books. This one is easy to read and understand. I am trying to learn Hebrew slowly, and this has helped me recognize letters. the captions at the bottom of the pages also help in understanding what was read as well. thank you for writing, and I am looking forward to more books!

The translation and source material provided in the Hebrew Revelation, James and Jude v2.2 is truly amazing! Simply put, the truth that is revealed by a straight-forward (unbiased-by-doctrine) Hebrew-to English translation is a priceless blessing for my family and those that I've shared it with.

May Yahweh bless the whole Van Rensburg family for writing and publishing this wonderful book!

This book, as well as the online web app, have been a treasure in my bible reading, discussions and study. I wish/pray that more followers will get this book and use it in addition to your favorite or preferred Bible. Reading these Scriptures has been a pleasure and joy, as they are simply written for conveying the message of Yeshua ha-Mashiach. I am anxiously awating the verification and addition of the Gospel of Luc to the others.

What a wonderful translation! I am not a speaker of Hebrew at all so the explanations are so helpful. I have included several pages in my study time daily and truly enjoy reading it's translation from the original language. Thank you for your labor.

I have struggled for decades with translational differences in the many available third-hand translations of the NT. I even learned NT Greek back in the mid to late 1990's only to discover that all of the Nestle-Aland translations were pretty spot on *sarcasm*. And of course they are because they are correctly translating a bad base text. (I often wonder how many people get stuck with bad doctrine because it is based on these texts). I moved my focus to the Byzantine texts and still found myself unsatisfied for the same reason, even though I found them to be better than many other MSS I had studied. I never had a problem with the Masoretic (Lenningrad MSS) because the Hebrew Bible in that form had not been largely biased against missionaries as many Jewish bibles have today (I'm looking at you JPS and Artscroll) The Septuagint was present during Yeshua's time and, being only a second hand translation from Hebrew and Aramaic, respectively, into Greek, I am sure it helped that ancient Hebrew was a compact language and also that Greek was (and still is) an abundantly rich one in the case of the LXX translational work. Sorry to say that we can't do better than that without being fairly fluent in 2000 year old Hebrew and also having a strong knowledge of the commonly used idioms of the period. But that is not the New Testament. As for the New Testament, having read all of your proofs of authenticity in this book, and finding your tranlation to be intrinsically very good, indeed, I feel so serene after coming to the conclusion that I have finally arrived at the original underlying Hebrew text (or perhaps as close as we may ever get, and so close that it no longer matters). I finally feel as though my 40 year search for the truth of the underlying text has come to an end. The book was indeed sealed until the time of the end, and now here we are, and the book is being unsealed in our generation. Adonai bless you for this work. I eagerly await your next book release. I know you won't print it until you feel that it is right without question. Peace and love and joy to you all. Shalom shalom!

Thank you so much for this important work. Waiting impatiently for Gospels to be published, and other documents to be found. It was done wonderfully. The translation was thoughtful and unbiased. I love the notes and introduction.

Do your self a favor and purchase this book. I’ve read the book of James in Hebrew. It changes things. James defines faith. (Peter-hope and John Love). Originally these three books followed Acts. Makes more sense. Reading James on Hebrew will strengthen you faith. Looking forward to studying the Revelation next.

A deeper understanding of the New Testament

Great scholarly effort! I love the detail. It is great to understand how scribes and translators have put together the translations we have today. Interesting research! Nice resource for those who appreciate the true meaning and possibilities of every word and verse in scripture. I had always sensed that first century believers would have spoken and written in Hebrew.

The best news is that there is very little difference between the Greek and the Hebrew translations. God's word, for the most part, has been preserved and available to us after thousands of years.

The standard mainstream English translations of the New Testament generally originate from Greek texts which are themselves translations from the original Hebrew language of Jesus. At times, this can cause difficulties in our understanding of the Jewish Roots of our Christian faith. The more we can go back to the original language and culture of Jesus and the apostles, the closer we can get to a fuller understanding of texts that we are reading and studying today. This book is an example of translating into English by using a Hebrew text as the source material and the results demonstrate many positive upgrades from what has been previously achieved using a Greek source text. I am very impressed with the care and attention the authors have dedicated to this translation project and look forward to seeing their English translations of the Gospels and the remaining books of the New Testament, eventually leading into a complete new English translation of the entire New Testament from Hebrew source texts that they have carefully selected from a large collection of Hebrew New Testament manuscripts. This research project can only add to what we already know. We should welcome and embrace any new information that sheds more light on the New Testament and on the teachings and sayings of Jesus and His apostles.

It's fantastic to have acces to and English translation of the Hebrew originals of these books, especially Revelation. As someone who is compiling a list of end-times prophecies for publication, the closer I can get to the source material, the better.

I highly value this work look forward to further publications. The text helps me to put myself in the first century line of thinking.
