I expected it would take considerable time to receive my order of L'Apocalypse hébraïque, Jacques et Jude, but the book was delivered way more quickly than I expected, so thank you for your efficient handling of my order. To this point, I have only glanced at a few pages; however, I plan to integrate this book into our weekly Bible study. My wife will read from the English translation (received last year), while I follow along with the French translation. It should prove interesting! Bien fait et merci beaucoup!

I ordered a book as I wanted my own personal copy to digest in my own time, I have never found reading things online to be very relaxing.

Anyway, it is so refreshing to see God's name where it should be in so many places. Also, a lot of the meanings are clearer and some scriptures even read entirely differently, to be honest, scriptures that had always grated on me. For instance Revelation 20:4. How can all the anointed be beheaded if Matthew 24:41 is also correct?

And a whole verse in Jude is different and less 'hairy fairy'.

I really am grateful for such a clearer reflection of the word of God.

Seeing Hebrew as the probable source of Revelation clarifies why there are differences between the Greek Revelation terminology and the Old Testament Hebrew terminology about the same subject. The book demonstrates, among other things, for both the layman (myself) and the scholar, how an actual Hebrew letter/word could be easily misread as another, thus leading to a different wording in the Greek. This blew my mind and shifted my opinion of what the original language of Revelation was. If Hebrew is the source material and not Greek, then that clarifies why certain things may seem out of place or just plain different from the OT. Seeing Hebrew as the original source and not a translation from Greek to Hebrew, but rather the other way around, harmonizes the OT with the Book of Revelation. Eye opening book!

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.

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.
