The Lights
After October 7, 2023, everything changed for us. For every Jew around the world.
G-d is speaking to us and we all feel it, recognize it, and cannot repress His voice any longer. The lights have been turned on...again.
Messianic Jew?
We know our forefathers wrote the Tenakh, which contains The Torah, also called the Pentateuch or the 5 books of Moses. The Navi'im - The Prophets and Ketuvim - The Writings.
This is in the Old Testament of the Bible.
Did you know the writers of every word in every book of the New Testament/New Covenant were also Jewish? They were the First Messianic Jews.
Their original hebrew names:
Yochanan (יוחנן) - John
Shim'on (שמעון) - Simon
Ya’akov (יעקב) - James
Mattityahu (מתתיהו) - Matthew
Ta’om (תאום) - Thomas
Yehudah (יהודה) - Judas
Ya'aqov (יעקב) - Jacob
Saul (שאול) - Paul
Judah (יהודה) - Jude
Natanel Bar-Talmai (נתנאל בר תלמי) – Nathaniel
THAT WORD CHRISTIAN?
The word “Christian” is derived from the Greek word “Christianos” (Χριστιανός) which means “follower of Christ” i.e follower of Messiah.
The term was first used in the ancient Greek city of Antioch, which was located in present day Turkey. These followers of Yeshua (Jesus) were the first to be called Christians around AD 90.
"Yeshua” (ישוע) is the Hebrew name where the name “Jesus" came from. It is a shortened form of “Yehoshua” (יהושע), meaning “Adonai is Salvation” or “Adonai Saves." This name encapsulates the core purpose of our Messiah's first coming – to bring Complete Salvation to the Jew First, then the Gentile. Back in the day, a small percentage of Jews believed just like now. Probably the percentages were identical.
“HaMashiach” (המשיח) translates to “The Messiah” or “The Anointed One." In ancient Israel, kings and priests were anointed with oil as a symbol of their divine appointment. The Messiah, long-awaited by our ancestors, was to be the ultimate Anointed One – the ultimate King and Priest who would bring about G-d’s kingdom on earth...but not how we expected.
Yeshua fulfilled all 351 Prophecies about our long awaited Messiah. One being that he will be rejected by his own people. That's us. He was also a Rabbi. He was circumcised, wore tzitzit, was a man of the Law, and of course fully Jewish.
Many Rabbis today publicly confirm Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah, but the majority won't reveal this to the world "until the right time."
613 COMMANDMENTS/Mitzvot
Our Torah contains more than the 10 Commandments. There are actually 613 Laws.

The more Religious the more laws we keep. But we all sin. Even the greatest Rabbi's and Rebbe's could not keep the whole law. If we could keep the Law we would not need the Messiah.
Yakov (James) 2:10
For whoever keeps the whole Torah but stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
THE 2 GREATEST COMMANDMENTS and how you will recognise authentic Messianic Jews and Christians.
Deuteronomy 6:5
Love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Leviticus 19:18
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Matttityahu/Matthew 22:36-40 Complete Jewish Bible.
“Rabbi, which of the mitzvot in the Torah is the most important?” He told him, ‘You are to love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.’ This is the greatest and most important mitzvah. And a second is similar to it, ‘You are to love your neighbor as yourself.’ All of the Torah and the Prophets are dependent on these two mitzvot.”
JEWS DONT BELIEVE IN JESUS
The original followers of Jesus were all Jewish. Every word in the Bible was written by Jews. Jesus was a Jew.
This has all been methodically edited out of our history for 2,000 years. Christianity is in fact 100% Jewish!
ASK G-D Right Now "G-d, show me you are real." OR "Show me if Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah. Open my eyes. Speak to me." OR EVEN "I'm in trouble, I'm lost, I need help. I can't continue my life like this. G-d if your there please help me."
OR TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH
"G-d, I believe Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah. Forgive me. Help me"
Whether you are Atheist, Secular, Agnostic, Jew-ish, Reform, Conservative or Orthodox G-d will answer you
WHAT IS FAITH (אֱמוּנָה)
All of our greatest had one thing in common, rock solid Faith. From Abraham to Moses to David, it was, and always will be about Faith.
The Hebrew word for faith is emunah (אֱמוּנָה), which is often translated as "faith" or "belief" in English. However, it's more than a conscious choice.
Faith implies trust, loyalty, and reliance on G-d. It's not just about accepting something as true. In English the word Faith is a noun. In Hebrew it's a verb, an Active Trust that leads to Action.
Very special thank you to Joshua (Broski) Samuels. Without his courage, bravery and inspiration, this site and mission would not exist.
Thank you to Michael K. and as always Marylu Wilson for being available and doing the work.
