The Lights
After October 7, 2023, everything changed for us. For every Jew around the world.
G-d is speaking to us and we all feel it, recognize it, and cannot repress His voice any longer. The lights have been turned on...again.
Messianic Jew?
We know our forefathers wrote the Tenakh/Torah - the 5 books of Moses. The Navi'im - The Prophets and Ketuvim - The Writings.
This is the Old Testament of the Bible.
Did you know the writers of every word in every book of the New Testament/New Covenant were also Jewish? They were the First Messianic Jews.
Their original hebrew names:
Yochanan (יוחנן) - John
Shim'on (שמעון) - Simon
Ya’akov (יעקב) - James
Mattityahu (מתתיהו) - Matthew
Ta’om (תאום) - Thomas
Yehudah (יהודה) - Judas
Ya'aqov (יעקב) - Jacob
Saul (שאול) - Paul
Judah (יהודה) - Jude
Natanel Bar-Talmai (נתנאל בר תלמי) – Nathaniel
THAT WORD CHRISTIAN?
The word “Christian” is derived from the Greek word “Christianos” (Χριστιανός) which means “follower of Christ” i.e follower of Messiah.
The term was first used in the ancient Greek city of Antioch, which was located in present day Turkey. These followers of Yeshua (Jesus) were the first to be called Christians around AD 90.
Jesus came from "Yeshua” (ישוע) which is a shortened form of “Yehoshua” (יהושע), meaning “Adonai is Salvation” or “Adonai Saves." This name encapsulates the core purpose of our Messiah's first coming – to bring Complete Salvation to the Jew First, then later to Gentiles. Back in the day, a small percentage of Jews believed just like now. Probably the percentages were identical.
“HaMashiach” (המשיח) translates to “The Messiah” or “The Anointed One." In ancient Israel, kings and priests were anointed with oil as a symbol of their divine appointment. The Messiah, long-awaited by our ancestors, was to be the ultimate Anointed One – the ultimate King and Priest who would bring about G-d’s kingdom on earth...but not how we expected.
Yeshua/Jesus fulfilled all 351 Prophecies about our long awaited Messiah. One being that he will be rejected by his own people. That's us. He was also a Rabbi. He was circumcised, wore tzitzit, was a man of the Law, and of course fully Jewish.
Many Rabbis today publicly confirm Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah, but the majority won't reveal this to the world "until the right time."
BUT JEWS DONT BELIEVE IN JESUS
The original followers of Jesus were all Jewish. Every word in the Bible was written by Jews. Jesus was a Jew.
This was intentionally edited out of our history 2,000 years ago. Christianity, which means followers of Messiah, is in fact 100% Jewish!
ASK G-D Right Now "G-d, show me you are real." OR "Show me if Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah. Open my eyes. Speak to me." OR EVEN "I'm in trouble, I'm lost, I need help. I can't continue my life like this. G-d if your there please help me."
OR TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH
"G-d, I believe Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah. Forgive me. Help me"
Whether you are Atheist, Agnostic, Secular, Reform, Conservative or Orthodox G-d will answer you
WHAT IS FAITH (אֱמוּנָה)
All of our greatest had one thing in common, rock solid Faith. From Abraham to Moses to David, it was, and always will be about Faith.
The Hebrew word for faith is emunah (אֱמוּנָה), which is often translated as "faith" or "belief" in English. However, it's more than a conscious choice.
Faith implies trust, loyalty, and reliance on G-d. It's not just about accepting something as true. In English the word Faith is a noun. In Hebrew it's a verb, an Active Trust that leads to Action.
Very special thank you to Joshua (Broski) Samuels. Without his courage, bravery and inspiration, this site and mission would not exist.
Thank you to Michael K. and as always Marylu Wilson for being available and doing the work.
