A Latter Day Testament Book 1:

The Fatal Flaw of Messianic Judaism

Forward

The year is 2020 A.D.

It has been nearly 2000 years since Yeshua of Netzarat died in Yerushalayim (1,989 years to be exact) and after he was resurrected, the Emissaries (apostles), especially Paul, anticipated that Yeshua was soon to come, even that century! Of course, we now know that they were badly mistaken and even Yeshua said no such thing in his last recorded encounter with the Believers (Ma’aseh/Acts 1). Nevertheless, it has been nearly 2,000 years and we see ample evidence that His return is closer than ever before.

That is what worries me.

After the miraculous resurrection of the Messianic faith after a 1600-1700 year interlude, you’d think that Elohim’s people would have their “stuff in order”: they would be fully equipped to finish the work that Adonai started; they would be echad in their work; peace and harmony flowing from them and all the eyes of the Earth on them.

Anyone who calls themselves Messianic or some derivation of this latter day Faith, laughingly knows this is NOT the case, nor even remotely so!!

Why is this?!? Is it really a laughable matter?? Should not the Messianics be the ultimate Witness to the world, the true ambassadors of the coming eternal Kingdom? We know that YHVH has called no other People (nor Faith, by extension) to lead that Kingdom other than “Israel”. And yet, if we look into Yah’s standard, the Torah, and the Neviim, the Prophets and the B.e.s.h.a.c.h., the “New Testament”, we will see that we are failing in that task miserably and that Yeshua may tarry yet longer BECAUSE His people are not ready for the ultimate task!

…Or will he??

There is a thread of doctrine insinuated in the Beshach that suggests that the Lord will not come until his people are ready to receive Him. It is not a “hardened” doctrine because it isn’t as clear as Torah but it is suggestive of being so. The alternative to that thread of thought is that the Lord does not wait upon the Believers to be ready and that his return is fixed as suggested by Kefa when he said, “with the Lord, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day” (2 Kefa/Peter 3:8), meaning, “time’s up” is almost here!

Either way, whether he tarries because of us or in spite of us, it is not a good thing because where I stand, ALL the Messianic people are failing to live up to their Calling, both Jewish and gentile Messianics, which means, if Yeshua came back today, there would be a lot of condemnation!! He gives mercy when we were called but Judgment begins as soon as we become His (Ma’asim 17:30-31).

In this series, I am going to go into depth as to why the Messianic Jews have become condemnable, why the Messianic gentiles are totally lost and disjointed and why nobody can or would ever find the Lost 10 Tribes (i.e. Northern Israel) nor should they align themselves with the Messianic Jews IF they were to gain consciousness of who they are!

It would be one thing if an outsider were writing this because it could be dismissed out rightly but unfortunately, I write this as one who knows and has been a Messianic ever since it really exploded worldwide…and then waned. When I was called into Messianism, it was the greatest experience I had ever had, bar none. I truly had a taste of what the Kingdom will be like someday but in time, less than a decade ago, the Messianic Jewish denominations organized into a hegemony and bought down the miraculous work that Elohim was doing worldwide and destroyed the very Work that would have, should have culminated into the coming Messianic Kingdom.

Yes, that Kingdom will come but it means that either a.) Adonai will have to punish the Messianic Jewish and gentile people pretty harshly or b.) He will have to start over with another people/faith. I don’t think the latter will happen because there isn’t that much time left to this era of human history and also because they were doing the right thing in the first place. They merely have to return to their “first love” as Yeshua tells one people in Revelation. I don’t mean return to the mistakes and doctrinal errors made, mind you, but to the bond of unity that was being developed by the Ruach ha-Kadosh! How do I know this? Because YHVH does not multiply a sect of people unless they please Him (or preordained for some other purpose) and there were some reports at the turn of the century that Messianism was the fastest growing religion in North America! My oh my how we have turned back so!

Like usual, it took Men to squash what Elohim was doing. In that same time period (coincidentally?), Secularism has arisen to new heights in the United States and those people are the same ones who condemn organized religion and say it is utterly useless, if not a hindrance to human enlightenment.

At this point, I can’t say I disagree.

May Elohim mercifully forgive the Messianics for what comes next in history because it sure don’t look good for us…

Introduction: “To the Jew first”

I really love people who stand in authority who stand up and make a case as to why their doctrine is and should be considered true and adopted by All and then refuse to hear a divergent or even opposing viewpoint to their case. They stand in defiant silence as a king who need not respond to the speaker and may even turn their back on the speaker as if they were not there! They spoke and the case is closed!

Of course, I speak sarcastically here. I had a good friend and teacher who went to hear another writer who was an authority on “cults”, who when my friend confronted him afterwords, behaved exactly like I just described. Such arrogant people are not fitting for the Kingdom! The neviim called such people “stiff-necked” and the end of such people was always destruction.

Such a scenario is always easy to judge when it is an individual because it is quite easy to just stay clear of such people in this great big, wide world but what is to be done when a group of people act thus so?? Such a situation may not be doable which is why is warfare has been the history of mankind. It is often said that wars aren’t the result so much of differences between people but simply a misunderstanding between the two. The same can be said of marriage. In the case of the worldwide Body of Messianics (both Jewish and Gentile Believers), the split between Messianic Jews and Messianic Gentiles has become a War in its own right because there seems to be irreconcilable differences when in fact, there is bad theology and gross error on both sides.

In the year 2000, a Messianic Jewish scholar named Kay Silberling Smith wrote The Ephraimite Error which was revisited a decade later by the rest of the Messianic Jewish denominations in a paper titled One Law Two Sticks. In them, the Messianic Jewish leaders outlined and roundly condemned all Messianic Gentile leaders, teachers and alliances who weren’t with them because of actual and perceived errors being taught and practiced by them. Two of these gentile leaders formally responded to Smith’s Ephraimite Error but as in the case of a large,well-funded and armed nation, the larger nation felt no need to respond to the smaller. They just ignored them. Such actions will not go unjudged on Yom Teruah, The Day of Judgment, someday nor at the present.

While the author of this trilogy series does NOT disagree with the majority of the errors clearly outlined in the two Messianic Jewish writings above, in the spirit of Paul who said that Adonai called the Jew first (Romans 1:16), I will demonstrate to the Jewish leaders that it is possible to be a torah-keeping gentile without ascribing Israelite (nor Jewish) heritage to themselves – and that it is Good for ALL Gentiles! Inasmuch the Messianic Jewish leaders have pointed out the errors, dangers and silliness of their gentile counterparts, the Messianic Jewish denominations, all of them (except UMJA) have perpetuated a heresy far, far greater and more dangerous than their Messianic counterparts ever will that feeds perfectly and squarely into the hands of our collective real enemy – the Anti-Christ – the devil! He is winning…

Chapter 1: Back to the Basics

It is amazing to me after 2,000 years of having the B.e.S.H.a.C.H*.^*, that the Messianic Jewish leaders are committing the same errors that the Unbelieving Jews of Messiah’s days had done. It is one thing for Messianic Jews to want to adopt the same rituals and customs as their Unbelieving counterparts are doing but it is quite another thing to adopt their errors and worse, their heresies, in order to bring all Jews into one body. That is their hope but does it necessitate the Messianic Jews adopt their errors in order to be accepted by the Unbelieving Jew?? Of course not! The reason they do is because Messianic Judaism has not questioned the basis of their Faith which shall be addressed later on.

The Covenant

Just as the Apostle to the Hebrews once wrote that even though they should be teachers by now, it has become necessary for them to learn the milk (basics) of the Word once again (Ibrim 5:12), in this case, because they came to the Faith through the wrong people. “Never presume anything”, says modern proverbs. Like Stephen the Martyr, it will be necessary to give a short thesis on their history before we can dissect their errors. Let’s begin…

No one disputes the Adamic or Avrahamic Covenants, neither Jew, Christian or otherwise. We shall begin with the calling of Avraham’s descendants since both Stephen and Paul called upon them as a Testimony.

…So YHVH saved the Hebrews from Mitzrayim/Egypt by miraculously parting the Red Sea so they could pass over upon dry ground. This He did whether science can explain it in secular terms or not; it was a miracle.

After the feast of Unleavening had passed, Moshe took them to the Mountain of Sinai/Horeb, [which Paul clearly says is in (Saudi) Arabia (Gal.4:25) ] at the beginning of the third month (Shem.19:1). Moshe received his family once again. It was here, of course, that the Sinaitic Covenant was made BUT, unlike the previous “covenants”, this was the first true covenant that was made because all the previous “covenants” made with Adam, Noach and Avraham, were all really Oaths and not really “Covenants”. An Oath is a one-sided declaration; a covenant is made between two (or more) parties. That is why these “Oaths” are not in dispute because it didn’t require Men to vow anything! So, here we are at Sinai and Adonai wants to make a covenant with these Hebrew slaves because they forgot what was YHVH’s Torah and doubted very much the promise made to Avraham after what they went through in Mitzrayim.

*Just as the TANAKH is an acronym of the “O.T.”, I use the acronym of the 3 books of the N.T.: Besorah, Shlichim, Chazon, courtesy of Andrew Eades

Moshe and the Hebrews made a Covenant while they were there and it was confirmed: “Then he took the book of the covenant and read it aloud, so that the people could hear; and they responded, ‘everything that Adonai has spoken, we will do and obey.’ Moshe took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, ‘This is the blood of the covenant which Adonai has made with you in accordance with all these words.’” (Shem.24:7-8).

Next, Adonai gave them torato on how to make a Mishkan and all the other things with it. All of Vayikra and some of Devarim was an extension of the Torah covenant terms. After all the mitzvot, mishpatim and chuqqim had been spelled out, Adonai was ready to take them into the Promised Land, eretz Yisrael. After spying out the Land, all of the Hebrews doubted once again so YHVH vowed not to let that generation enter except the two who became the Leaders of the next generation.

Forty years later, they entered the land in great faith and zeal. With that, the Hebrews finally became Israelites. They lived a couple hundred years without any king because they were expected to make YHVH their king forever. Now that they were a nation among the nations of the world, they wanted to start looking like them, at least in governance at first. So Adonai gave them Shaul ben Kish. He was in every way, the first “straw man” so Adonai gave them a better one, Melech David.

United and divided Israel

Like the goyim, Israel started having civil wars but David eventually prevailed and he united northern and southern Israel (2 Shem. 5:3-5).

David was both faithful yet careless in his life. He left many sons with even more descendants but it was his son Shlomo that continued as king. Nevertheless, because of David’s macho-ism and Shlomo’s carelessness (like his dad), the Israelite Kingdom divided right after Shlomo died. The Kingdom had been united for barely a hundred years.

As we all know, the Northern Kingdom continued as “Israel” while the Southern Kingdom became “Yehudah”. It is assumed that they were in constant civil war until the Northern Kingdom was conquered but there were at times when Israel and Yehudah mutually cooperated for common gain. It was during these cooperative periods that the Jewish state became infected by their northern brothers’ idol worship. When Ashur vanquished the last of the Northern Kingdom in 721 BC, many of the neviim warned the Jewish people of Efrayim’s idolatry. It should have been an object lesson to the Jews nevertheless, it was either a case of too-little-too-late or the leavening of Northern Israel had planted and spread in Southern Israel. Either way, it was death to a nation.

Exile

No matter how you judge the end of the Israelite Kingdoms, Efrayim or the Northern Kingdom came to an end in 721BC by the Ashurites. Adonai spoke to them prophetically as not being His people anymore (Hosh.1:9) and thus they forgot Him and their collective identity. Nevertheless, Adonai didn’t forget who they were and the historical record records they were moved back whence their forefather Avraham came: to the fertile crescent region of Syria and Iraq.

Yehudah knew where northern Israel went because when the Southern Kingdom fell in 586BC, they tried congregating where some of their northern ancestors had come, which Yechezquel identifies as near the river K’var(Chebar). The majority of Jews settled in the capitol Bavel but in those days, each succeeding empire enveloped the previous so that the Bavelian empire was only a little larger than the Ashurite.

Unlike northern Israel/Efrayim, Yehudah maintained their collective identity, repented and was granted the right to return after 70 years had passed. Some of the repentant northern Israelites returned with Yehudah at the end of 70 years and is recorded in 1 Divrei ha-Yamim 5-8 to be sure but the question that is in great dispute is whether this constituted the fulfillment of the return of northern Israel. This topic will be taken up in great measure in book 3 of this series but to assuage the collective consciousness of the Messianic Jewish leaders at this point, I can confidently say that no attempt will be made to theorize that today’s Messianic gentiles are the collective descendants of the 10 northern tribes because Scripture clearly show that they aren’t! This part and this part only does Messianic Judaism have right….

In fact, in the post-exhilic books, often associated with the Deuternomic history, such books as Divrei ha-Yamim and Ezra-Nechemyah disclose a certain bias against their northern brethren that only became more pronounced as time carried on. This biasedness points toward the identity of the Northern Israelites. It also is the basis of an evolving racist ideology advanced by the Jews (adopted by Messianic Jews) that emerges every time the Jewish identity was threatened. There have been two Jewish exiles and two national Aliyahs; it is not surprising that racism has become intertwined with the Jewish people but among the Messianic Jewish people, this should not be so! I will not expound on that here but later on.

The first post-exile, after 536 BC, as evidenced in the book Ezra, showed that some Jews (and a handful of northern Israelites) returned to the Land and they were zealous, not surprisingly, because they recognized that the reason they were exiled in the first place was because they were not faithful to the Lord. Because of this and the future Maccabean war, the Jewish leaders eventually went too far the other way in trying to be obedient. This too is typical of human nature but it sets a background for what happened by the time Yeshua came in the flesh.

Yeshua through the 2nd century

When Yeshua was born, the Roman empire had already taken control of Judea and more than that, Josephus,and many scholars since, record how the Romans had infected the highest leadership of the Temple wherein the Cohen ha-Gadol was not purely Jewish but also partly gentilean. This is a point not to be overlooked because it partly explains the relationship that Yeshua had with Judean “authority”. Yeshua, the man, did not have a problem with authority for He himself told everyone to obey whomever “sits in Moshe’s seat” (Matt.23:2) but yet, Kefa said in the following year (or thereafter), to the same authorities that it is better to “obey God rather than man” (Ma.5:29). This is yet another talking point to be taken up a little later in the 3rd chapter.

As we all know, Yeshua was born a Jew, lived a Jewish faith and lived by some of the customs. He was always obedient to the Father and knew not sin (2 Cor.5:21), even unto death. These statements are all elementary to Messianics but what it should demonstrate though is that ANY statement, belief, or doctrine that is non-Hebrew in nature is not to be considered equal to the Word. Yeshua and his Talmidim that succeeded him, continued in the same Faith. If only we had an unbroken succession of leaders after them, like the catholics have had, there would be nothing more to write or argue about…

And so begins the divergence of opinion, even about who was a true leader and teacher of Judaism. Ma’asim, Acts, makes it very clear that Kefa, Yochanan and Ya’akov, the brother of Yeshua, became the elders of the communities or moshavim of Yeshua. Paul was called separately from the others but yet called these people ha-Derekh (Ma.9:2). Historical authors say that they called the themselves Natzerim or Nazarenes, who continued until Eusebius’ century. Whichever label you choose, it was the Jewish and gentile Believers who kept Torah and believed in Yeshua as Messiah.

Because Yochanan lived the longest and was the last of the original apostles, it would have been Polycarp who were given the keys of the Kingdom as he was the talmid to Yochanan. He lived well into the second century and Polycarp discipled a lesser known leader named Polycrates, who stood his ground against the growing proto-catholic church when the true Believers continued the Pesach (and Unleavening) festivals. When that happened just before 200 AD, the gentile Believers were ex-communicated from the western Church and just as their Jewish counterparts had been cast out of the synagogues the previous century, both Jewish and gentile Messianics now had nowhere to assemble. I am sure they tried to buy their own property but in an environment that was increasingly hostile to Judaism or anyone else who believed in Messiah, it is no surprise that they languished for millenia, without any strong leader to stand in the gap. History records the “heretics” and “unorthodox” Believers but what ignorant secular (or Jewish & Christian) historians call “evil” were really the servants of YHVH. That 1700 year gap is not the subject of this book. What will be taken up by the rest of this 1^st book is the resurrection of Messianism in the 20^th century.

Chapter 2: Messianic Judaism’s Fatal Flaw

(No, it isn’t Messiah Yeshua.)

As a people who are to be a Kingdom of Cohanim (Shem.19:6) to all the world, now and forever, one would think it is vitally and of utmost importance, that what Messianic Jews teach, should be as coming from the mouth of the King himself. We all know that Messianic Jews are Torah-Observant to some degree but when it comes to teaching the Word, the statement “ALL Messianic Jews are Torah- Observant” should be a truism because it is not just those who teach but those who are the “Chosen Ones” that interact with the world, that the World sees and observes. This isn’t a collective condemnation since NO people will ever be 100% torah- observant but it gives a clue as to why they aren’t more so than say their “unbelieving” Orthodox counterparts.

As we just finished looking at Messianic Judaism in early history, what wasn’t discussed among the multitude of controversies that arose after Yeshua until the Nicene Creed forever separated the Christian World from the Jewish World, was that there were “Judaizers” among Believers. This is a term that needs to be unpacked because the term wasn’t used by Paul (although certainly inferred) but coined by the errant Christian Church that evolved out of Judaism. Inasmuch as there were heretical Jewish teachers among the nascent Messianic Jewish communities, it is the ultimate irony that contemporary Messianic Judaism has been “christianized” by the very enemies to Torah! If this surprises you, then read on…

The Seed of modern Messianic Judaism

It is the very things that we don’t question that leads people astray. It is human nature. We call them “presumptions”. While there has been no shortage of authors who have traced the modern resurrection of Messianic Judaism, no one has dared question the seed of this people group, no one that is, except their “unbelieving” counterparts. Let’s look at this to start off.

(disclosure):I am not a counter-missionary and I don’t know any authors even if you were to name them because it doesn’t take a counter-missionary to see one of Messianic Judaism’s flaws.

Messianic Judaism was born out of controversy from the get go, flourished in controversy up until 70AD, maintained through the intermediate centuries in controversy and under threat of banishment and death until it was thought to be eradicated. As one famous person said about Christianity and Judaism, “and the twain shall never meet”, meant that one could not possibly believe in Yeshua the Messiah and keep Torah.

To all our unconverted, deceived ancestors, that may have been true but Elohim is not defined by Men!

Because the faith of YHVH cannot be extinguished, EVER, Adonai resurrected the ancient Seed he started in Yeshua and the Believers, beginning with the Jews once again in the 19^th century. Unlike the first century in which Messianism was born, in the land of the Jews, this Seed was born in the land of the goyim, amidst a goyim culture, in which being “Jewish” while being a believer in Christ was not necessarily under threat of death anymore, nevertheless invited punishment of some kind. In this environment, when a Jew sincerely came to believe in Yeshua as Messiah, they had to “prove” their faith by stepping out of the Jewish religion and join Christendom. In other words, do what was required of a “converted” Jew that had been required of them from the fourth century until the nineteenth! But now, in order to please their new Christian lords, they did so willingly! These are not my words or interpretations but the confession of Messianic Jews themselves.

The most re-known of Messianic Jews says of their recent ancestors,

“With the dawn of the Enlightenment, religious tolerance became more widespread. Jewish followers of Jesus found it easier to assemble, and identified as Hebrew-Christians…More Hebrew-Christian congregations were formed in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. In 1866, Carl Schwartz founded an association known as the Hebrew-Christian Alliance of Great Britain…These congregations celebrated Hanukkah, Passover, and observed the High Holidays. Most, however, still met on Sundays. They were associated with Christian denominations or mission organizations, and carefully avoided appearing too Jewish, because many church leaders were suspicious that their Jewish practices meant that they were drifting from religious orthodoxy.”[1]

Full stop: from the modern beginnings, they flirted with some “Jewish” customs – but they met on Sundays. In other words, while they practiced some Jewish things, yet they “associated with Christian denominations or mission organizations”. They may have confessed their Jewish “identity” but in order to be accepted as full Believers in Jesus the Christ, they had to practice Christianity in order not to be charged as a “Judaizers”! How much Christianity they practiced and inculcated, one can argue but there is no doubt when someone has eaten garlic because you just can’t hide that fact!

Not a single Messianic Jewish leader will deny this history but the first thing they will tell you is, “we don’t worship on sundays anymore and neither do we teach Christian theology!” To which a person should challenge, “Maybe true on the former but the latter…” Honestly reader, when a people learn their theology under the tutelage of their anti-nomian, deceived Masters for over a century, you have to wonder just how “separate” they are!! Again, a non-Messianic author gives words to what I am saying here,

“Belief in a Messiah who will redeem the Jewish people and thereby usher in a new, more humane era is very much a Jewish concept. However, there are deep theological differences between Jews and Christians regarding exactly who is a Messiah, what a Messiah should do and even how central a Messiah should be to their traditions.”[2]

Again, I will stress that their belief in “Yeshua” is not necessarily what I argue here but it is those “deep theological differences” that we should question also. Which Yeshua or Paul are they advancing?? A Trinitarian Yeshua; an anti-nomian Paul?? I do not question that an alternative or third “religion” should exist between Judaism and Christianity but I seriously question whether Messianic Judaism, who tries to please two unmixable faiths, can possibly create that independent theology needed because Yeshua said that is impossible (Matt.6:24).

Dual Covenant Theology

The last two to three generations has seen an overarching revision and liberalization of both Christianity and Judaism. The impetus of this began after World War 2 when the Jewish people scarcely escaped the worldwide Holocaust. The Holocaust was largely the outgrowth of replacement theology perpetuated first by Catholicism and later by Lutheranism. And since Germany was heavily steeped in these two faiths and the center of the Holocaust, this lethal concoction naturally lent itself to the result it did – the genocide of the Jewish race. It was natural: since the Christian translations of Bibles all told a story about the “Old Covenant” and the “New Covenant” and how Yeshua (and more so, Paul) had enacted that New Covenant, therefore it “replaced” the Old Covenant and thus, there was no need for Judaism. If Judaism persisted, so be it but if the Jews became too powerful in society, then a people had a raison d’être for eliminating them.

Or so the European Christians thought. This was due no less to their darkened, heretical religious dogmas.

Nowhere in the Beshach can one find a mandate to eliminate an entire race of people. If they found it in the Tenakh, Elohim alone has the authority to make such decisions and the Tenakh was not their Book so…

In any case, with this and the Jews regaining Eretz Yisrael only a few years after the War, Christianity had to begin rethinking the foundations of their faith. Naturally, because Christianity was a worldwide faith and they were so much bigger than the Jews, Christianity did not question the foundations of their faith but merely tweaked their long-standing theology so they wouldn’t feel guilty of genocide anymore. The evolution of this “reformation”, if you will, was so slight and yet so profoundly permanent that it will never question again both Christianity and Judaism’s flaws. That is fatal from where we Messianics stand.

Vatican 2

And 21^st Century D.C.T.

Vatican 1 & 2 occurred in the 1960’s that forever liberalized the domineering Christian branch that had stood unopposed for nearly a millennium before Orthodoxy and Lutheranism had come along. It was Vatican 2 specifically, the “Decree on the Jews”[3] that initially changed the attitudes of Catholics to Jews. Instead of permitting persecution of unbelieving Jews and treating them as “outsiders”, the Catholic hierarchy said that she should “embrace” the Jews and while the majority had not accepted Christ, they made it a policy to just “wait and see” and they would become Believers (through them of course) in their own time.

This is nice; it is humane to all Jews but it did not address whatsoever the deepest divide between Jew and Christian that gave rise to the Holocaust, namely the relation between the Old and New Covenants and which one reigns in the Kingdom. It more or less set it aside in order to bring in the Outsider, which is a more humane way of dominating rather than the use of Force.

The result of these modern Decrees rippled across the world but in the U.S., the effect was even more dramatic and permanent: we call it the “Hippie Generation”, the “Decade of Love”. From that Council that ended in 1965 to 1975, Hippies and the Peace Movement reigned. We all know what happened and what it created but as a summary of the philosophy of that decade, it is as though Christianity and Judaism had adopted the title of a world renowned book from that decade “I’m o.k. – You’re o.k.” (Written in 1967 by Thomas A. Harris). It is the ultimate philosophy of Tolerance and Co-existence. In a pluralistic country such as ours, it is much needed but it doesn’t create the Righteousness for which Yeshua aims.

In the self-same decade all this happened, the Israeli Jews regained control of Jerusalem through war. It too was yet another tidal wave that reverberated through Christianity and Judaism. For Judaism, it was as if she had regained legitimate, religious authority in the world. She had it all along but this event caused many Christians to rethink what Elohim was doing in the world since it seemed that the Jews were fulfilling many prophecies in their generation.

Where does that lead? It leads right to the door steps of the 21^st century, that’s where!

Since Christianity could see that Judaism was not going to die out but actually revive before Yeshua returns, Christianity, in general, had to rethink their eschatologies and beliefs about Jews. Instead of seeing the two Covenants as being exclusive, some Protestants have devised a modern form of Dual Covenant Theology that is just as heretical, if not more so than the older form! It says that the Jewish and (Gentile) Christian people were called to two different paths, Two Covenants, and that each will be saved under their own Calling. Messianic Judaism added the proviso that while the

above is true, that means that ONLY Jews should keep Torah and that all others, ALL Gentiles, do not and SHOULD NOT keep Torah. This is because Messianic Judaism came forth from Christianity (formerly Hebrew Christian Alliances) and does not have a theology separate from that side of Christianity (the other to be mentioned just below)! Messianic Judaism has a completely compatible theology with Liberal Protestantism because she never questioned the anti-nomian religion she was birthed in! Not only that, but when Messianic Judaism seeks to be reunited with the rest of Judaism which says Gentiles are forbidden to keep Torah, you have no reason to change your theology!! But when they All agree on the same page, that does not mean that they are right – anymore than when the Nazis created a hegemony of rule for Germany!

ADONAI DECLARES WHAT IS RIGHT; NOT MEN; NOT RELIGIO-POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS.

Not all Christians are on this page and they err just as much but they won’t be as culpable on the Day of Judgment. The older form of Dual Covenant Theology is just as bad: they think there are different Covenants and that only one of them are right and they maintain their exclusivity. That makes it healthier because at least when they are converted, they will be “able to come out of Babylon” (Rev.18:4). This Order that is organizing now will only lead the world into Babylon. We will discuss this in the last chapter.

Now, it is necessary to show why both Christianity and Judaism (including Messianic) are BOTH WRONG!

Chapter 3: The Torah, Neviim & Brit are All of the same Theme

The people who believe that the Bible is teaching Dual Covenants (which now encompasses just about all of Judaism and Christianity), have ALL been blinded and this has come about in the name of “Ecumenism”. Ecumenism isn’t such a dirty word; it has been made dirty by people who have an agenda. That agenda is probably the same as it was in ancient Nimrod’s Kingdom. We will discuss this again in another chapter.

For now, let’s dive into the Torah books (here: first 5 books) and see what the Jews and Christians teach – and what they are leaving out – or adding.

Let’s start with the Noach story. The Noach “Covenant” says this,

“God spoke to Noach and his sons with him; he said, “As for me – I am herewith establishing my covenant with you, with your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you…I will establish my covenant with you that never again will all living beings be destroyed by the waters of a flood, and there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.” God added, “here is the sign of the covenant I am making between myself and you and every living creature with you, for all generations to come: I am putting my rainbow in the cloud – it will be there as a sign of the covenant between myself and the earth.” (Ber.9:8-13)

This is what it says about Noach’s Covenant. Modern Judaism, in agreement with both Christianity and Messianic Judaism, says that Adonai established 7 Noahide laws for the gentiles from this oath in this chapter. I am not here to reprint the Bible. You can read before it and after it: there is no such fiction!! Not only does He not list out 7 “laws”, not only does He not establish it with only gentiles, Jews would be bound by these 7 if it were so because Israel had not been established yet! And yes, even though the Word calls it a “Covenant”, it was an Oath that mankind merely had to observe. The Christians don’t really teach the Noahide laws but it suits them fine because it maintains that “separation”.

I say, “what Elohim has joined together, let no Man separate”.

Avraham: Jew, Gentile or Muslim?? Avraham wasn’t Jewish or Muslim because they still hadn’t existed yet. As Paul points out to the Romans (chapter 4), Avraham was very much a “gentile” and yet, how strange that YHVH says this gentile “followed my mitzvot, my regulations and my teachings” (Ber.26:5) Which were what?? Again, I could take space to list each torah command done before Sinai which ranges from tithing to animal offerings to not doing adultery and everything in between the “613” but would it make a difference to the Jewish establishment? Speaking of the Sinaitic Covenant, let’s go to the heart of the matter…

In chapter 1, I pointed out the Covenant made at Mt.Sinai/Horeb in Shemot 24. Take a look now at what else Adonai said when He made that Covenant:

“But I am not making this covenant and this oath only with you. Rather I am making it both with him who is standing here with us today before Adonai our God and also with him who is not here with us today.” (Dev.29:13-14)

It is amazing that even Jewish legend says that He spoke at Sinai to the whole world, who heard it, but it was only the Jews/Israel that accepted it. If YHVH indeed, thundered His words to the world, why would it be such a stretch for Jews to believe that this Covenant is not to be kept by gentiles?? You all say “no” but the Word says otherwise above!

If that wasn’t enough, I have learned from Messianic Jewish teachers themselves, the principle of Adonai repeating himself. When YHVH commands something more than once, say twice, we are to truly take notice, it is taught. What about if He commands something three or more times??? Is that not even more important, if not, most important you might say??

“You are to apply the same standard of judgment to the foreigner as to the citizen, because I am YHVH your God” (Vayikra 24:22)

“The same Torah and standard of judgment will apply to both you and the foreigner living with you” (Bemidbar 15:16)

“no matter whether he is a citizen of Israel or a foreigner living with them. You are to have one law for whoever it is that does something wrong by mistake” (Bemidbar 15:29)

I truly do not need to write anything further on the subject of whether the rest of us are to obey and keep Torah. YHVH said it three times which is the number of finality but because Messianic Jewish leaders are under such delusion and hard-heartedness, I will continue to show the unity of this Sacred Word!

Neviim

Why did Adonai let Israel dispossess the 7 nations of Cana’an? Because the Kenani were such great lovers of Torah?! That’s a joke! We all know that so if Elohim used His One and only standard to judge the gentiles, what would have assuaged Adonai?

King Hiram of ancient Phoenicia: why did he supply so many trees to Shlomo if he didn’t love the El of Israel? Was it because Israel made war against Phoenicia and conquered her?? No, there is no such record. Why would a gentile help build a temple that belonged to the Israelite God? Why did the Queen of Ethiopia come so far to hear Shlomo? Was it only because of Shlomo’s wisdom, which Adonai supplied him?? (1 Mel.3) No, true Wisdom comes forth from being Torah-observant. When the goyim see it, they are coming for YHVH Elohim.

Yeshayahu was an early navi to both Israel and Yehudah. He used the term “Ya’akov” to signify both Houses of Israel (although this isn’t true 100% of the time). Here is what YHVH says that has clearly not been fulfilled:

“For Adonai will have compassion on Ya’akov – he will once again choose Israel and resettle them in their own land, where foreigners will join them, attaching themselves to the house of Ya’akov” (Yesh.14:1)

To be sure, this is not a flattering prophecy of the goyim here but it shows that the Goyim “attaching” themselves to all of Israel (or northern Israel if that’s your interpretation) – just like they did when they left Mitzrayim! The “erev rav” “attached” themselves to the Hebrews and from that point in scripture, no one was called Jew or Gentile from that generation!

Yeshayahu speaks of the gentile who wishes to keep the Lord’s Sabbath in chapter 56; not if but when they do! In fact, the Lord opposes the Jewish teachers here: “A foreigner joining Adonai should NOT say: ’Adonai will separate me from his people’; likewise the eunuch should NOT say, ‘I am a dried-up tree’” (verse3)

In Zecharyah 14, when this Age ends soon, Adonai says that whoever will not come up to Sukkot every year will be punished. Punished? Entire goy nations?? That doesn’t sound like “if one chooses” if we are to listen to today’s Jewish or Christian teachers!

All of the Tenakh is unified in this point. Torah is just as much for Gentiles; all of Judaism, especially the Messianic ones are completely wrong! For those who think the N.T. changed everything, we will just go right past that blank page between the Tenakh and the Beshach and see now…

BeSHaCH(N.T.)

Admittedly, when Yeshua was in the flesh, it seemed like he wasn’t interested in the goyim. They weren’t the “lost sheep” since they had never been Israelite and they weren’t taught Torah; why would he be interested in them? That is, until a Roman centurion came to him one day (Matt.8; Luke 7) with a request for healing. His faith was so great that I think even Yeshua was taken by surprise: “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such trust” (Lk.7:10) Yeshua knew the prophecies. And when he returned to the Father, did this one gentile centurion cause him to consider opening the Kingdom to the gentiles? Who knows; Maybe the Father had already planned to take the Gospel to the Nations but when one thing is clear from Yeshua’s post-resurrection mandate, He told them to make talmidim of the nations! (Matt.28:18-20)

You, who are Jewish teachers, should not be missing this point: who are talmidim, biblically speaking?? They are none other than students of the teacher. In cases where they are to replace an aging teacher, the talmid must not just hear what the moreh/teacher teaches but they live with them also; and obey their every command. Hence why, Yeshua says, “…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” What did Yeshua teach? Do we really have to say it…??

It is not even a question whether we should keep Torah to those who are Yeshua’s talmidim: “You are my friends if you do what I command you” (Yoch.15:14). This too should be an end to ALL debate and divisive matters. Who are we doing it for? To be rewarded by the world? That is not even plausibly funny!

You say that the “New Covenant” changed everything? Or Paul?? Or that first and only “Jerusalem Council”??? Will you, who are Jewish, go along with this Christian heresy?? Not even Paul or Kefa or Ya’akov presumed that Torah was not for the gentiles.

Go to Ma’asim 15 again and read from the beginning, in context of that council, what these men judged:

“But some men came down from Y’hudah to Antioch and began teaching the brothers…” (v.1), without the authorization of the council (v.24), “…You can’t be saved unless you undergo b’rit-milah in the manner prescribed by Moshe.” I wholeheartedly agree with Rav Baruch Korman that this was not a question about whether the gentile Believers were to keep Torah. It was totally about confusing Torah-keeping with Salvation.[4] Other teachers like Avi ben- Mordecai link this chapter to Paul’s talk to the Galatians and say that these other men from the Jerusalem Assembly were advocating that Gentiles were to keep the Oral torah as well, which is why Kefa sounds like he is calling “written” torah a “yoke” (v.10) when he is not![5]

Go to the end of the chapter Teacher: Ya’akov says in summary to keep 4 torato and that the rest of Torah, they would continue to learn from them as they came! – “For from the earliest times, Moshe has had in every city those who proclaim him, with his words being read in the synagogues every Shabbat.” (v.21)

There is NOT ONE Elder disciple who was advocating the gentiles abstain from keeping Torah. Think about what you are teaching: either you are saying “go to the synagogue with the Jews but don’t learn what Moshe teaches” or you are saying “keep this part of Torah but don’t do this other part”!! You can’t get around it! Either you are completely ignorant, in which case you should not be teaching at all, much less Torah or you are out deceiving the flock – which is it?!?

Yeshua came to tear down the m’chitzah but you are re-erecting it! (Eph.2:14) You don’t have One people then tell the other people that there is a different standard for you!! NO NATION on earth does this!

Messianic Judaism is teaching in defiance to our Messiah and our Forefathers and in utter heresy! There will be consequences for this which we will address in the last chapter.

There is yet one other matter that I believe motivates this dual covenant, anti-nomian heresy. It is an observation only and unlike the rest of this book, the last two chapters are my theses alone.

Chapter 4: Another Racist Ideology

There have been two times in history when the Jewish people were almost wiped out into history (three if you count the two wars Judea had with the Roman Empire. In that case, the remaining Jews fled into the Diaspora and established clear Jewish moshavim. Their ethnicity and religion was never in danger. That could be debated I suppose) Thankfully, Adonai did not let that happen nor would He! He did insinuate to Moshe that He would be willing to do that but even if He did, YHVH resurrects as we saw in the 20^th century!

The two times that I count is the destruction of Judea from the ancient Bavelian Empire and the contemporary world we live in that has more to do with the Emancipation Era than the Holocaust itself (in this case, both eras overlapping). In both cases, it can be observed that a surge of Jewish Nationalism or Ethnic Identity followed. This is not to be ignored because they had and have consequences.

The first Aliyah

The first return of Jews to ha-Eretz, as we all know, began around 516 BC. Ezra the Scribe and Zerubavel the Governor led the way. It is well documented in their book (which is one book by Jewish reckoning). At that time, YHVH expected some of the Jewish people to return to Judea but some northern Israelite families who managed to remember their tribal identity took advantage of the situation and returned to Judea with their Jewish brethren. This cannot be denied due to 1 Divrei ha-Yamim 1-8 which was obviously written during Ezra’s lifetime as they wrote it in a way to show that Israel had “picked up” where they had left off. At least that’s what they thought at the time when Jews were making Aliyah. The whole business about who is Israel is due to this time period because the question that has come to a head among the whole nation of modern Messianics is whether the return of Israelites/Efrayimites actually constituted the return of Israel, as a nation. This will be addressed shortly as well as in the coming two other books in this series.

Before Yehudah and Efrayim were taken into captivity, Israel was not only an ethnic nation but a spiritual nation. That nation was supposed to have YHVH as their Elohim and they worshipped Him at a central Temple to remind everyone that there was only one El. Because it was only by the grace of Yah that they were returning, it was natural that one of their first priorities was to reestablish the Temple. “Judaism” (what we call it today) was a religion that was built around the Temple.

Because the Temple was such an important aspect of Jewish life, it was important to reestablish it properly and righteously so that they weren’t guilty of being cast out again. This was all understandable given that the transgression of the Temple was one of the reasons they went into captivity. Whereas the Jewish people had become too liberal before the 1st Captivity, it can be shown that the Jewish people or at least, the Leadership had become too conservative after the Return.

Swinging too far to the Right?

Notice, to begin with, in Nech.10 where the people are sincerely making teshuvah by returning to practice Torah,

Not buying or selling on the Sabbath (v.32)
Keeping the Sabbatical year and forgiving of debts that year (v.32)
Living by the Torah and all its Mitzvot (v.30)

And so on. This, I will note, is not a bad thing by any means! This is what YHVH wanted from the time they came out of Egypt: A people whose heart was to obey YHVH always. This they did but a heart of sincerity can go too far the other way. Let us take note of what else they did at this time.

“It was also at that time, when they were reading in the scroll of Moshe, that it was found written that no ‘Amoni or Mo’avi may ever enter the assembly of God…on hearing the Torah, they separated from Israel everyone of mixed ancestry.” (Nech.13:1&3)

Along with all the reforms they were doing, the Jews decided ethnic cleansing was due. This too wasn’t without due cause for as we read in Ezra 9, the leaders approached Ezra and said that “the people of Israel, the cohanim and the L’viim have not separated themselves from the people of the lands…” (v.1).

Note here that all of Israel (including the Jews) had intermarried and this is no surprise because they had been sent into the diaspora. What was worrisome was that the Cohanim and Leviim had sent their “holy seed” and assimilated into the peoples of the lands (Ez. 9:2). Without a Leadership, there were would be no “JEW-daism” because there wasn’t a Jewish king over their Land. They were still ruled by foreigners with the expectation that they would be a free nation again one day. This can be seen beginning here and growing throughout the Greco occupation and even more by the time Yeshua came under the Roman occupation.

All of this business about “separating” from the goyim was well-founded but separating oneself from “foreigners” can very quickly run too far to the Right (as we say in today’s lingo) and become a Cause in itself. What about the wives of Jewish men? Nothing is said about there being faithful wives to the Jewish husbands. Do you mean to say that there was not one “Ruth” among all those foreign wives or maybe a goy husband who was not willing to commit to the new Jewish state?? Ezra-Nechemyah does not answer this because they were on a mission to “cleanse” the Jewish people before YHVH so even if there were compatible mates, they were put away!

Not only that but an encounter with Samaritan peoples, an ethnic group of people who were half-goy and half-Israelite, written forever in our Scriptures captures the attitudes of this era of “New Beginnings”:

“When the enemies of Y’hudah and Binyamin heard that the people from the exile were a building a temple to Adonai the God of Israel, they approached Z’rubavel and the heads of fathers’ clans and said to them, ’Let us build along with you; for we seek your God, just as you do; and we have been sacrificing to him since the time of Esar-Hadon king of Ashur, who brought us here.’ [and the Jewish leaders answered]…’You and we have nothing in common that you should join us in building a house for our God…’” (Ez.4:1-3)

A couple of things should be noted from this passage that are not explicitly stated: 1.) It can be inferred that the “enemies” noted were Samaritans because they were the ONLY other people than the Jews who worshipped the Israelite El and 2.) that the Samaritans were called “enemies”.

True enough, Messianic teachers have all agreed with Ezra’s characterization that they were “enemies” because the Samaritans worshipped other elohim along with YHVH but these people were the only ethnic group who collectively represented the “lost Tribes” of Israel apart from the individual families that joined Yehudah at that time. Even though the Samaritans were half Israelite, that wasn’t good enough for the returning exiles. Hence, the seed of Racism began.

This wasn’t the only opportunity lost at this time too. By not allowing the Samaritans to help build the new temple, the Jews lost the ONLY opportunity for the rest of history to restore the Kingdom of Israel! That is, until Adonai supernaturally restores Efrayim someday (Yechezquel 36+37) but that is to the shame of the Jewish people who knew where the Efrayimite nation was in their day and failed to let them be reunited!

For those Literalists and Messianic Jews who would say that this is my own opinion, I will let the question and answer of Yeshua to the Talmidim answer that: “So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, will you at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?’ He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons…’” (Ma’asim 1:6-7 ESV). This should be an end of debate as to whether modern day Israel is One House or Two but such things cannot be discerned in Scripture when leaders are wearing and reading through the lense of racism.

Of course, history does not end there in the first Aliyah to make my point. The history of the Maccabean revolt was not just a religious revolt, it too continued ethnic cleansing as some Jews started becoming too Greek in their ways. I am not speaking against religious correction but I am showing that the racist ethos did not end around 500B.C.but continued right through the first century A.D. up to the time the Jews had to be exiled again. Note the racist strain that the Jewish leaders spoke to Yeshua in his day: “We are the seed of Avraham…” (Yoch.8:33) and “Avraham is our father” (Matt.3 and Lk.3). Yeshua did and does care about the Jewish people but he cares not one whit about race or ethnicity as he answered the Jewish authorities, “For I tell you that Elohim can raise up for Avraham sons from these stones!” (Matt.3:9) – In other words, He can make a race of Hebrews from non-living beings!

Whereas the entire Israelite nation had become too Liberal before its destruction (in two parts), the Jews became too Conservative after the first Aliyah and before the Second Exile such that Yeshua seemed like a Liberator compared to what they had become. Today’s Messianic Jews would have the gentiles think they are carrying on the original mission of the Messiah but so far, what we hear is the answer of the P’rushim and Tz’dukim about genealogy: “We are Jews and you are not…” which leads nicely to the second Aliyah.

The Emancipation and the Holocaust

After the Second Exile by the Romans and the history of the Jews wandering throughout Europe and the Middle East, it really didn’t seem like the Jews would ever occupy the Land as a nation ever again but this is what Yeshua meant by “times and seasons”. The Father was testing the Jewish people to see what their End would be as a people. It all came to a head at the beginning of the 19^th century.

In an Age of Revolutions, the Jewish people had their first real opportunity to escape the chokehold of catholic Europe and the perennial pogroms. And who wouldn’t?? For hundreds of years, the Jewish people were chased out of one nation after another for just being Jewish and after being haunted and hunted by an equally racist people for so long, when the opportunity came to be liberated from this “lifestyle” of nomadism, many Jews opted out of the Judaism that defined the Jewish people since the days of Israelite birth in the desert of Arabia.

As a result, this is what produced the Age of Emancipation which overlapped with the many European revolutions. Out of this came many Jewish Liberators such as Abraham Geiger, Mordecai Menahem, etc, founders of Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism, which contrasted itself with traditional (Orthodox) Judaism. For the first time in millennia, Jews could be Jews without having to be Torah-Observant or beheld to the authority of a Rabbi. Initial Reformers went so far as to make Sabbath observance on the first day (Sunday) in Germany! (Where Christianized Jews would get their cue from later on). Many other modern cultural inventions came from this century and we could sift through the many influences but I would like to stay with the racial ethos of this chapter

One would think that the defection of many, if not the majority of the Jews to the Left of their counterparts would create a more liberal attitude towards ethnicity. In an environment where racial consciousness was not so pervasive, this may have caused a permanent turn in Jewish history but because the Wars of 19^th century Europe left so much more confusion than before the Emancipations began, even Reformed Jews were not accepted despite their efforts to be integrated into the nations wherein they lived. If that wasn’t enough, many Revolutionaries were “Jewish” (think of Karl Marx) in which their gentile counterparts may have seen as a subtle attempt to insert “Jewish” authority. This continued on in country after country in Europe throughout the entire 19^th century until one rising Reactionary arose in the 20^th century that attempted to solve this “Jewish problem” once and for all – Adolf Hitler.

We all know what Hitler stood for and what his main objective was. When a problem is couched and packaged in a “racial” basket, it is no wonder that people like the Zionists wanted to create a homeland just for the “Jews”; when an entire Jewish civilization such as the Jews in Europe are almost wiped out (at least from their perspective), it is no wonder that they would define things in racial terms. From the days of the First Aliyah, through the Age of the Roman and European empires until the end of the Holocaust, the Jews were forced to wear the “Racial glasses”; if not by Jewish authorities, then by their Gentile overlords. This is why Messianic Judaism, the ones who are supposed to be saved by Yeshua, have the problem all wrong!

Race does not define Identity where Judaism is concerned

Even modern scientists discard the idea of “Race” because there is no apparent basis for it biologically. But the problem does not end there. Judaism has confused their own identity because “Jewdaism” is both an ethnicity and a religion. It has been a tribal group since the days of Ya’acov and a religion before that.

As I have demonstrated throughout this first book, the Messianic Jews have defined their identity in racial terms because their unbelieving counterparts have defined it in those terms and they have defined it thus far in history because – because that’s what “uncivilized” people do! Not just the Jews but ALL goyim. When the world becomes as big as we have and you create liberal, pluralistic societies as North America and Europe has, it becomes useless to define oneself in purely tribal terms because everyone knows that that “parochial” mentality is what created such an uncivilized world in the first place!

The Jewish answer to all this is to say, “you gentiles do your own thing and we will do our own thing and all will be fine” – Dual Covenant heresy. Adonai Elohim said way before this heresy became a seed, “I will also make you a light to the nations, so my salvation can spread to the ends of the earth.” (Yesh. 49:6; Ma. 13:47). The thing that makes our Elohim, YHVH, so awesome is that He doesn’t force His way onto anyone; He attracts them by the Light of Torah, which if a Jew does properly, WILL attract the world! And that is what Jewish teachers have failed to comprehend: some of us have been attracted to true Judaism because they have lived up to their philosophy which is “what you do and not what you say identifies you” contra posed to the Christian philosophy which says “what you say and not what you do identifies you.”

The Jews are actually fine with Gentiles becoming Jewish but they have created this fictional fear that says if the Gentiles became Jewish, there would be no more Judah/Israel. That is complete Jewish propaganda bulsh! I will list 3 reasons why this is not so plus one more.

Not ALL gentiles will convert at once. Yeshua equated the Kingdom of Elohim to making bread (Lk.13:20-21). Just as Yeshua said that it takes time for dough to become a finished product, so will the Kingdom of Elohim take time before it can be finished. If you haven’t considered it before, one can say that the Jews are the yeast and the flour is the rest of the (goy) world. Once it is ready for baking (the Millennium), you won’t know the difference between Jew and the ones who became Jewish/Israelitish because the yeast is infused within the dough by the time of baking. In other words, there is no confusion as to who is what until the end such that by the time it is ready to bake, you will have those who are saved versus unsaved. That is a major theme after the reign of Mankind comes to an end.
The world will still be able to distinguish between Jew and a Believing goy is because not all gentiles will live Torah the same way, much less as a Jew! In other words, Jewish halakah and non-Jewish halakah will be distinctive! I don’t need to expand this point; it is already self-evident that Torah-observant gentiles are going to be living very differently, sometimes, from their Jewish brethren.
It is the Father’s objective to make the world Israel. Not only did Yeshua infer that in the passage above (Ma’asim 1) but it is obvious from the Neviim and Revelation especially, that He will not tolerate a multi-religious world; a multi-cultural world, yes, but not a religiously plural world which is why the current state of Messianic and non-Messianic Judaism is in such danger (I will be getting to that in the next chapter). We have said it before and if we have to say it until Revelation 21 comes to pass: All the world will only be allowed in to see our El in New Yerushalyim if they are of one of the tribes of Israel – there is no 13^th gate for the goyim!!

Messianic Judaism blames Torah-observant gentiles

As I stated above, Messianic Jews don’t have a problem with gentiles doing Torah if they are part of their assembly but YAH FORBID if we preach it to the world!! That is really the crux between the Messianic Jews and all other Messianics and they have put a sharp wall between us and them to the dismay of Heaven (Mish.6:19b; Eph.2:14).

As in marriage, it is often the accuser that has a problem that needs to be repented of. In the case of the Messianic Body, the Jewish authority has a strong issue against the rest of the Messianics in which the Jews should be looking to themselves for the crux of the problem rather than their gentile brethren! To what am I referring??

I started this chapter by saying that Judaism has become nothing but another racist ideology but the truth of the matter is that there isn’t anything wrong with Nationalism per se. It is when that Nationalism becomes too tribal or racial that it becomes a problem because Yeshua is calling every tribe under the sun to become Messianic. One of the promises to the Avrahamic people is that YHVH would multiply the descendants of Avraham. In that promise IS a promise of ethnic multiplication but not exclusively.

As I said, Judaism is both an ethnicity and a faith. The “Faith” is multiplying for sure and the Jews have a rather bigger problem with this because like the first century, the gentiles are growing much faster in the Body than the Jews to their consternation. Is the problem because we who aren’t born Jewish are telling the world how good it is to live in Torah? Or is it something else entirely??

What about that promise to multiply the Seed of Avraham “as the stars under the heaven” (too many passages to list here)? The Jews are not that many and even though many non-Messianic Jews are becoming Messianic, one can still enumerate them. Is it because Adonai hasn’t blessed the wombs of Jewish people? I don’t think so – the Jewish and Israeli people have grown to their pre-holocaust levels, which is still pretty miniscule when you compare to other ethnic groups in the world.

I would propose that besides this hellish heresy that is being promulgated, I would propose that the Jewish people are NOT as the stars of the heaven because they are one of the leading proponents of abortion[6] (in the U.S. at least. I tried verily to find statistics to prove that Jews were in fact doing more abortions than other people but apparently that kind of information is too “politically incorrect” to find on our “open” internet society). Nevertheless, because Jews are the leading ethnic group (and second highest religious group) to promote abortion, it can be inferred that they are probably doing so at a greater rate than other people.

What can we say?? Yehovah Elohim delivers on HIS promises but if a person/people do not want to receive it….

I will guess that Messianic Jews are NOT as pro-abortion as their unbelieving cousins but that does not help the Jewish cause any. Jews are being outnumbered in the Messianic Body and if Jews did not abort as much as they did (Yah knows how many), it is probably safe to say that Jews would be more numerous in the Messianic faith.

And so, to round out this chapter, let me link the “Jewish identity” problem with another well-known (and hated) ideology: White Identity or White Supremacy. I am not about to make a ridiculous statement that other racial groups don’t have supremacy problems but in my research for this chapter, it became obvious to me that White Supremacy and Jewish Identity & Religion are one-in-the-same (and even overlap, i.e., when Jews are found in White Supremacy groups) because Jews and the overwhelming majority of European and Russian people have practiced abortion for god knows how long!! You don’t see this kind of problem among the Asians, Muslims or Latinos now, do you??

I think it should be obvious by now what the penalties of abortion are (especially you Israeli reader).
