The Biblical Essence of Wine. To Life…L’Chaim! – by Deborah Cohen
Wine or grape juice? What did Jesus drink? What was His culture like? What did most people have on their table at mealtime? Is it okay for a Christian to drink wine today? Based on her study of Scripture, Deborah Cohen brings fresh perspective on the issue of wine in the Bible and why it is important to know God’s purpose for it.
“One of the reasons I am writing this book is to explain the word covenant in the cup of wine that was offered by Yeshua two thousand years ago and to understand what it means.” “It is no coincidence that the first manifestation of the Glory of God through Jesus was at a wedding feast where He turned the water into wine.” “It was a natural part of everyday life in the Jewish culture. The question whether the wine itself was good or bad was never up for debate.”
Deborah explains the significance of the process of wine-tasting and how the 5 senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste come alive with a renewed awareness of the covenant cup that Yeshua presented to us. 1 Corinthians 15:46 – But it is not the spiritual that is first, but the physical, and then the spiritual.” “The old way of ceremonial washing cleansed you on the outside, but the water-turned-into-wine, representing the blood, cleanses you on the inside.”
The Ninja and the Pastor – by Noam and Deborah Cohen
Avinoam Ezra Cohen (Noam) was born to a traditional Jewish family in Jerusalem and had experienced the first Lebanon war as a tank commander in the IDF. Discouraged after seeing friends die, he went to Japan to seek ” The Way” and to learn the martial art of the Ninja, only to be forced to return to Israel 21 years later, broken, with one suitcase in hand.
Deborah (Debbie) was born and raised in the small town of Bellingham, Washington, in the northwest corner of the United States. She pastored a vibrant church and traveled to many countries ministering the Word of God in meetings, on radio, and on many tours to Israel. After 17 years of ministry, everything in her life fell apart and she wound up traveling one more time to Israel, also broken and with one suitcase in hand.
This is the story of a Jewish man’s journey to seek truth and to finally find it in his Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), with the help of an American pastor named Deborah. And it is a story of romance after the shock, grief and trauma of divorce. The Ninja and the Pastor met and were healed together as they walked in “His Way”!
