The Jew

The mystery of history
The Jew still remains
Preserved, indestructible
Despite sorrow and pain.

Passover-First Fruits-Easter

On this ‘Feast of First Fruits’
A burnt and grain offering
Foreshadowing Messiah
And His people, following.

Pesach-Passover…Exodus

How God frees from bondage
All those, captive to sin
Jesus’ blood, our atonement
To cleanse of leaven, within.

My People

Though God has chastised
They faced every threat
But His Covenant people
He does not forget.

My Jewish Background

Grew up with tradition
Lived under the Law
Rabbinical Judaism, Yiddish
Was the life that I saw.

Modern Israel

Scattered, through sin
The scriptures foretold
Now fulfilling prophesy
God’s Word of old.

                                   

Messianic Judaism                                        

Reconciled thro’ His death
To God, in one body
Fulfilling God’s Law
A new covenant, to embody.
                                   

Israel’s Idolatry

So, pause and reflect
Does God fill your heart
Or have you hidden idols
That ensnare you, in part?

Israel’s Call to Repent

God laments for His people
Have turned from His ways
Are spurning their Maker
Have rebelled, disobey.
