Israel – October 7th, 2023
Yet, our God uses foes
In revealing His plan
That Israel, be saved
Despite the evil of man.
Rabbinical Writings or God’s Word?
With destruction, of the Temple
No more offerings, blood sacrifice
Instead of faith, in God’s salvation
Rabbis decided ‘works’, will suffice.
My Jewish Background-Tefillin (Phylacteries)
So while able, to wrap Tefillin Had my inner barrier, of sin
Understood, Messiah Yeshua
Forgives and purifies, within.
The Jewish Messiah Foretold
While the ‘Tanach’, Old Testament
Clearly details, Messiah’s picture
Most Pharisees, rejecting Jesus
The One fulfilling, God’s scripture.
God Doesn’t Believe In Luck!
So, life is not random ‘luck’
God knows our will and ways
Sees our heart’s intent
God decides our lot, always.
Our Heart- Our Control Center
So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.
Take Responsibility for Our Failures
Learn from Adam, our wrongs
We must own, and not hide
Nor blame others, but confess
And repent…. in Christ abide.
Yom Kippur-Day of Atonement
Despite our striving to be ‘good’
We fall short, are unrighteous
Messiah’s offering, atonement
By faith, we’re made righteous.
A Complete Jew
Trusting, God’s Messiah
His Son, offered for our sin
To forgive us, make us righteous
Circumcise us within.
Rabbinical or Messianic Judaism?
“Therefore, you shall be perfect
Just as your Father in heaven”
Yeshua, the perfect Lamb of God
Messiah’s offering, for our transgression.
