Shalom everyone. Today I want to talk to you about Israel and the Church. Once I was watching a video when there was someone interviewing Jews in Israel and asking them who’s Jesus?
And most of them would answer Jesus is the founder of the Christian religion. They would not at all relate Jesus to the Hebrew Bible and this is very sad. Here in Israel we have less than 1% of believers, of Jews that believe in Yeshua, so I want to read with you some verses, first in Romans 1:16
Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the good news since it is God’s powerful means of bringing salvation to everyone who keeps on trusting to the Jew especially but equally to the Gentile”
Now Matthew 10:5 and 6
Matthew 10:5,6 these twelve Yeshua sent out with the following instructions: “don’t go into the territory of the Gentiles and don’t enter any town in Samaria but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”
So, this burns in his heart, the lost sheep of Israel and it’s still burning! So how can we correct everything that was done in a not good way from by the Church.
In Acts we read on chapter 3 verse 20 and 21
Acts 3:20,21 ” so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord’s presence and he may send the Messiah appointed in advance for you, that is, Yeshua. He has to remain in heaven until the time comes for restoring everything as God said long ago when he spoke through the holy prophets”
So Yeshua is being kept in Heavens, He will return only when things are restored and this is one very important thing to be restored – Israel and Church, the identity and the Covenant.
So, we’re gonna start a study about the Book of Ruth that addresses very well in a beautiful way the Covenant between Israel and the Church.
So, keep following us. This is a very short book – The Book of Ruth, you can read it again and then let’s meet again, okay? Bye, see you!
