A Brand New Day / Ageless Message
Many of us can relate to periods of our life when we sit and contemplate where we are at in life. Sometimes we sit on the mountain peaks, while other times we are in the valleys. Through the mountains and the valleys, we can see the hand of G-d. We can see His tapestry masterfully woven together and can see how all the pieces have been perfectly connected. During the times in the valleys, we cannot see past the next hill, and we have to trust HaShem to get us through. When we are on the mountain peak, we can see the past and even get a glimpse of the future. It takes so much more faith when you are in those valleys.
As believers in Messiah Yeshua, we understand that reading the Tenach is like looking out over the valley, but not being able to grasp what is ahead. As believers, we sit on the mountaintop called the Brit Chadasha [Newer Covenant] and looking back we see the Tenach in a totally different perspective. We see that there is ONE Messiah who plays two roles: the suffering servant [Isaiah 53] and the Conquering King [Zechariah 14].
The Jewish people only see the latter.
The reality of the Messiah being killed is so clearly stated as you read through Isaiah, Zechariah, and Daniel that the ancient rabbis tried to reconcile it by agreeing that there were two Messiahs: Ben David [the King] and Ben Joseph [one that would be killed in battle]. Due to nearsightedness in the valley, one may come to this conclusion. When you are on the peak, how simple it is to see that Yeshua, the Servant and the King, are all the same!
Many ancient Rabbis interpreted scriptures in the Tenach as being Messianic. Today, modern Judaism has reinvented itself. It has embraced humanistic thinking and even has classical Greek thought tossed in. Temple Aviv Judea began in 1978 as one of the first Messianic congregations since the first century CE. In the past two thousand years we have witnessed a grave distortion of the truth. We have seen the Jews put their faith and emphasis in rabbinical writings written by men, instead of directing their focus on the Tenach, the Word of G-d. We have seen the church cut themselves off from the root [the Jewish faith] and in doing so, alienating the "apple of G-d’s eye", the Jewish people.
G-d is lifting up the Messianics [Jewish and Gentile believers] in the end times, so He can teach the Church, so they can repent; and for the Jewish people to find the true faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, so that they all might be saved. Join us at Temple Aviv Judea for this heavenly mission.
