If you’re thinking “I’m no Targum scholar so this isn’t for me” then listen up. Most of the answers can be found in your KJV Bible. The few answers specific to Targum Isaiah are from recent Tsiyon programs, and, of course, Tsiyon Edition Targum Isaiah itself.

One other thing: you are free to just try the puzzle for fun if you want. No pressure here.

UPDATE: WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!

Congratulations to Ginny!

You have won April’s contest!

Your prize, one autographed copy of Targum Isaiah, will soon be on the way.

Many thanks to all of our erudite crossword contestants. Don’t be sad if you were not the winner this time. Just try your hand at our latest contest!

SO .. the winning entry each month will be posted on this site, and the winner will receive a free autographed book, CD, DVD, or whatever is being offered that month for the giveaway. In a minute I’ll tell you how to enter the giveaway, but first, I thought you might like to know how I got into creating crosswords.

It all started a few years ago when a Christian Radio Station, The JC Town, KPJC AM 1220, Salem, OR, asked me to write a monthly feature for their magazine. I noticed the magazine did not have a crossword, so I thought I could create crossword puzzles that would promote Bible study. Creating those puzzles was really fun, and they did have the desired effect – to get people looking in their Bible for the answers! I loved that! Well, JC Town had a format change, so my puzzles were no longer needed there. However, the crossword seed was planted to spring up here in the form of the Eliyahu ben David Crossword Contest.

Here are the rules:

1. Register at this website. It’s free.

2. Do the latest puzzle. You can click the link in the contest post and do the crossword on the handy-dandy interactive webpage or print it out and do it in the conventional way. You know, with a pencil.

3. Email me a screenshot or scanned image of your completed puzzle. Be sure to put your username on it, and any comments you want to make. Realize it could get posted on this website, Twitter, Facebook, etc, and may be permanently etched on the eastern slope of the Great Pyramid of Giza, where it will remain for ten thousand years – or, alternately, on the refrigerator till Thursday.

4. Now, here’s the really important part: after completing the above, leave a comment with the respective puzzle post letting me know what you thought of the puzzle. Be honest. If you want to say the Eliyahu ben David Crossword sucks lemons, that’s no problem. On the other hand, if you liked it, let me know why. Your comments will help me to keep improving the puzzles.

5. Provided you have completed 1-3 above, you can receive additional entries by completing any or all of the Bonus Entries listed on the then-current contest post.

6. I will use the secret Eliyahu ben David method to select a winner. I’m not sure yet, but I think it will involve a hat and my lovely co-host, Dawn. Update: I asked Dawn and she said, “use Random.org” – so there ya go. Anyway, the winner will be posted on this website and will receive the highly coveted prize via snail mail. Fun, right?

7. All entries must be in by the last day of the month in which the respective Eliyahu ben David Crossword Contest puzzle is first posted. (Puzzles will remain on the site after that, just for fun.)

Eliyahu ben David Crossword Contest Conventions:
[Say that 3 times fast!]

1. Unless otherwise stated, all Bible references will be made according to the King James Version of the Bible. This creates a level playing field for all, since the KJV is the most widely available version in English.

2. Some words and clues will reference information contained in my books and/or radio programs, or other material I’ve authored. After all, it is the Eliyahu ben David Crossword Contest, right?

3. All submissions and related comments become the property of this website and may be displayed by us without further permission. Copyright being what it is these days, I had to say that.

4. It’s perfectly ok to post about our contest, but not the puzzle solutions, to Twitter, Facebook, your website, and anyplace you like, so long as you include a link pointing back to this website.

5. As time goes on we may learn from our inevitable mistakes, making a few more rules and conventions necessary, which will be posted here as an update.

6. All puzzles can be found under the category: “Crossword”. Feel free to do the old ones, just for fun!

UPDATE: Here are links to our puzzles!

Are Flying Saucers a Sign? from Tsiyon Radio on Vimeo.

Did you sense the global spiritual shift that occurred in 2008? The author predicted in advance the very changes that started unfolding upon the world during that year. His Radio listeners have seen the occurrence of predicted events as confirmation of this Revelation Bible Prophecy. Break the barrier of superficiality that clouds most teachings on Revelation. This unique Hebraic approach will help you to have a sense of certainty about what Revelation really means as Revelation will become as relevant to your daily life as your morning newspaper. According to this Hebraic account of Revelation, Divine judgments that have waited for millennia are now being unrolled upon the world. The insights gained from rightly understanding Revelation can aid you personally to be prepared for these judgment events, so that you can emerge through them with a favorable outcome.
