I know that the following article is
going to raise controversy on both, the Jewish and the Gentile side.
I hesitated a long time before writing it. Nevertheless, all in all,
I think that it is worth publishing it, for the truth has to be told,
regardless of various opinions on the subject.
Opinions are just opinions, and they
don't really matter in front of the truth.
Two thousand years
ago Hashem fulfilled the promise of sending a Messiah to Israel.
Yeshua accomplished many signs and miracles and brought, through His
presence, the kingdom of Heaven to earth. But Yeshua's mission was
ultimately to die on the Cross, so all mankind could access
Salvation.
When He walked the
earth as Yeshua ben Yosef, it was really hard to recognize Him as the
Messiah, unless through a revelation from the Holy Spirit, as given
to Peter.
For
the Gentiles to access Salvation, Yeshua had
to be rejected by the Jewish religious establishment. Yet, it is
often interpreted as His rejection by all the people of Israel, which
is a truly misrepresented fact. Not only were all of Yeshua's first
disciples Jewish, but a lot of people in Israel revered Him and loved
Him. Some of them, like Nicodemus, followed Him secretely out of fear
from the religious establishment. Some contemporary rabbis in Israel
do act in the same way.
When Yeshua our Messiah was crucified, young women in Jerusalem are
reported to have been crying, a fact that has been occulted in
Christianity although it is clearly reported in the Gospels.
Both communities separated from the real Yeshua ?
Today's drama is that many orthodox Jews are cut from the Messiah of
Israel. Many Gentiles are cut from the true Messiah of Israel too,
because the one they think they are following is a distorted Messiah
with pagan adjunctions.
Many people wonder why orthodox Jews don't turn to Yeshua as the
Messiah of Israel.
I realized that many orthodox Jews do not reject Yeshua, they do
reject «Jesus».
«What? Isn't this a reference to the same person? What do you
mean?», I will probably be asked by many people. Well, let me
develop my point. Yes, many orthodox Jews do reject the name Jesus,
because it refers to Christianity. Because in the «Jesus» that is
depicted by Christianity they don't even recognize a Jew. Therefore
many Jews think that Yeshua is a Gentile, because they didn't get a
chance to read the New Testament.
I think that emperor Constantine is one of the most wicked persons
in history, because he replaced a cult based on IHVH with pagan
customs. Christianity never even questioned this and even added
to this. A lot of customs that are rebuked in the Bible, such as
decorating a Christmas tree or taking Sun-day as a resting and cult
day, are just commonly accepted as part of Christianity. These are just a few examples, there are so many more...
The « Gentile
Messiah » is a common lie people accept
Yes, the One you
are calling « Jesus » is Jewish. His real Name is Yeshua.
His real Name actually points to Salvation, which is our Messiah's
very purpose. Some people slated me just for stating this truth. I'll
reiterate it once again, because it needs to be said : the name
Jesus is totally made up. It has no meaning. It is the Greek
transliteration of Yeshua. It didn't exist until the 6th
Century. In the 1st Century, everybody who knew Him called
Him Yeshua. So sorry if I offended some of you for calling our Lord
by His true Name.
Then I'll repeat
another schocker to many Gentiles : Yeshua is Jewish and Torah
observant. All the points He makes are linked with the Torah. One can
only have a proper understanding of His points by putting them into a
Hebrew context.
Since Yeshua approached me, our Lord revealed Himself to me as the
Jewish Messiah. He asked me to call Him Yeshua, not «Jesus». He
clearly showed me that He is a teacher of Torah and that He has
nothing but love for Israel.
The true Messiah of Israel is not a character of Greek mythology. He
is real. He opposes to paganism practices such as cult of saints,
cult of Virgin Mary, and any kind of idolatry. He has a rabbinic
approach of Scriptures. He is not a priest or a pastor in the modern sense of the term. A friend gently reminded me that Yeshua bears the title of High Priest after the order of Melkizedek and that He can also be considered as the Good Shepherd and Pastor of Israel.
My reference to the word "priest" and "pastor' referred to modern religious congregations' leaders in the Christian world.
My reference to the word "priest" and "pastor' referred to modern religious congregations' leaders in the Christian world.
The true Messiah of Israel is present throughout the whole Tanakh
(Ancient Testament).
If you do not believe that Yeshua is present in the Tanakh, then
check out this impressive
list of prophecies fulfilled by our Messiah.
In both
communities, either Jewish or Christians, I've seen people who'd
prefer to deny the truth than giving up traditions of men and added
customs. I've seen so many people who prefer the comfort of a
religious community than living in truth and taking the path of our
Messiah Yeshua.
Having met Yeshua
personally, today I cannot and will not adhere Christianity, because
of the many added pagan customs it contains. Although I feel much
closer to Messanic Judaism, I am not keen on joining any movement at
all.
I am not seeking to
advertise any church, congregation or synagogue.
I want to advertise
Yeshua the true Messiah of Israel. He is the only One I have given my
heart.
I am not Jewish. I
am not Christian. I am a follower of Yeshua, the true Messiah of
Israel.
Come to Him,
because there is no Salvation out of Him.
