Greeting
Shalom, dear friends,
We honor the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — the faith that first revealed to the world that there is one true God, the Maker of heaven and earth. We also honor your devotion to the Torah and the Prophets, through whom God spoke His holy words.
The same Scriptures that call Israel to holiness also speak of mercy — of a coming Redeemer who would bear the sins of many and bring everlasting righteousness. We believe this Redeemer has come: Yeshua (Jesus), the Messiah promised through the prophets of Israel.
"He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed."
Yet we remember Paul's words with deep respect: "My heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved." (Romans 10 :1) God's covenant with Israel has not failed, nor has His love diminished, for "the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." (Romans 11 :29)
Messiah Foretold
The Prophets foretold a Messiah who would come humbly, suffer for sin, and later be glorified. They did not speak of two Messiahs, but of one — who would come twice: first to make atonement, then to reign.
- Born in Bethlehem: "Out of you, Bethlehem, will come for Me one who will be ruler over Israel." (Micah 5 :2)
- Rejected and pierced: "They will look on Me, the one they have pierced." (Zechariah 12 :10)
- Bearing sin: "The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53 :6)
- Raised to life: "You will not abandon My soul to Sheol, nor allow Your Holy One to see decay." (Psalm 16 :10)
Yeshua fulfilled these things. He came first as the Lamb of God to take away sin; He will return as the Lion of Judah to establish the Kingdom promised to David.
"For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?"
The New Covenant
Through the prophet Jeremiah, God promised a new covenant — not written on tablets of stone, but on hearts changed by His Spirit:
"The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah… I will put My law within them, and I will write it on their hearts… for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more."
This covenant has been established through Yeshua, whose blood was poured out for the forgiveness of sins: "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Matthew 26 :28)
Through Him, God offers righteousness apart from the law — yet fully in harmony with the Torah and the Prophets. The first covenant revealed God's holiness through commandments and sacrifices; the New Covenant reveals His mercy through a perfect atonement, once for all.
"For if their transgression means riches for the world, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!"
God has not rejected His people. Some natural branches were broken off for unbelief, yet the root remains holy. Gentiles who believe have been grafted in — not to replace Israel, but to share in her promise. And when Israel turns again to her Messiah, it will mean blessing for the whole world.
"Do not boast against the branches… You do not support the root, but the root supports you."
Invitation
Dear friends, this message is not written to condemn, but to invite. The covenant God made with your fathers is still alive through the One He sent. He calls each heart to return to Him in truth and faith.
Read again the Torah and the Prophets. Read the words of Yeshua in the Gospels. Ask the God of Abraham to show you whether this is the One of whom Moses and the Prophets wrote: "You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29 :13)
The God of Israel is faithful. Though many have stumbled, He has promised to restore. Paul wrote: "If they do not continue in unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for God is able to graft them in." (Romans 11 :23)
The same God who spoke at Sinai now calls through His Servant-Son — who suffered, died, and rose again. He is the cornerstone the builders rejected, yet He remains the foundation of all who believe.
"The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins."
May your heart find peace in the Messiah promised through the prophets — the Holy One of Israel, the Redeemer who lives forever.
