Rebuilding What Jesus Destroyed

I see Jesus with a foot on the temple mount. “Jerusalem. Where they kill My prophets, deny My truth.” He looks at me with sadness in His eyes as He steps away from the mount. “They say they know My Father, yet they deny Me.” Jesus looks up to the throne of God the Father.

Father looks at us, shakes His head and dismisses with His right hand.

“They are rebuilding for sacrifices again as though My atoning death is not enough.” Jesus takes me to a hall, hidden from the world, as if what they are doing is in secret. I see men dressed in clean attire, according to their status or role, working. There is a man hand sewing a design […]

Animals Declare The Glory of God

Jesus takes me to a magnificent meadow in eternity that seems to have no end. We sit quietly watching the animals and butterflies. I think about what I am seeing. It does not surprise me that deer, rabbits and other animals are here, but butterflies? They are insects. Jesus points to a grasshopper, “Isn’t it a magnificent creation? It’s uniqueness and creativity in design has always pointed to Us as its Creator. Father and I enjoyed creating all that you have seen, and not seen. knowing people would learn of Us through creation.”

He leans over and gently picks up a massive hairy, although colorful, spider. Not one of my favorites, Lord. Jesus chuckles, “I know, which is why I want to […]

You Are Desired By God To Be With Him For Eternity

I look up at Father, He is bright and radiant with love beyond comprehension.

“Sustenance is what man desires, but are never satisfied. Man is designed to attend to the food and water I have to offer that never is empty. The well is deep, never ending from My throne. My food is eternal. All that man desires is here, within and from Me, yet they seek the empty pleasures and fulfillments from outside My design that always brings ruin.”

“The Kingdom of the Lord Almighty is open for everyone to enter through the open door. The door is clearly marked, with no visible lock or door knob. My door is always open, until the appointed time when I shall close the door. […]

Time Is Short

I am standing with Jesus in the universe seeing stars and galaxies. In the distance I see what looks like a door within the universe closing. Or opening. I don’t know which. There is a sliver of extremely bright light shining through the crack of the door.

Jesus says, “Time is short.”

“The enemy is gathering worldwide his army, he has strategically positioned himself to line up against all My People, small to great, at one time.”

Jesus brings the earth into view. I see lines of light shrinking and getting brighter as darkness pushes in different directions. All around the world these lines are being pressed together.

“Each movement is strategically different to accomplish the goals needed within that country. Yet all are designed […]

Who is Torah? Is Jesus Torah?

The Hebrew Roots Movement uses the word “Torah” in this equation in their teachings:

“Torah is the Word. Jesus is the Word. Therefore Jesus is Torah”

Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me. If ye had known me ye should have known my Father also and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.” (John 14:6-7, KJV)

We begin this study with John 14:6-7 because here Jesus declares that He is the way, the truth and the life. Way is the Greek word, “hodos” (Greek Strong’s 3598), which means “a way, a road, a journey, a path”. Jesus is teaching us in terms we can easily […]

What is Torah?

Read Part I of This Series

The word “Torah” in Hebrew is derived from the root ירה which in the hifil (classification) conjugation means “to guide/teach” (see. Lev. 10:11). The meaning of the word is therefore “teaching,” “doctrine,” or “instruction”; the commonly accepted word “law” gives a wrong impression. [Rabinowitz, Louis Isaac and Harvey, Warren. “Torah.” Encyclopaedia Judaica. Ed. Michael Berenbaum and Fred Skolnik. Vol. 20. 2nd ed. Detroit: Macmillan Reference USA, 2007. pp 39–46.]

We see that Torah has been translated as ‘instruction’, ‘direction’ and ‘law’. In 2 Kings 14:6 we see it can refer to the Mosaic law as the word here is being used to refer to the Laws of Moses and is translated as such. Still […]

Do Christians Need to Observe the Sabbath?

Old Covenant versus New Covenant
Before I answer that you need to understand that there are two Covenants, an Old Covenant (Also known as the Mosaic Law) and a New Covenant. We who profess Jesus as our Lord and Savior are under the New Covenant. Jeremiah 31:31-34 describes this New Covenant and it was established when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. (See Matthew 26:28, Hebrews 9:14-17, New Covenant or is it Renewed?). Now why is this important? Because without a clear understanding of when the New Covenant started and what it means to us we could easily get confused when reading the Bible. So we see from the above scriptures that the New Covenant has begun and if […]

Justified Before God as Righteous

“Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law,
for ‘The righteous shall live by faith'”

This is found in Galations 3:11 and quotes Habakkuk 2:4. I have been told by HRM followers this proves we are saved by faith in Jesus, but we need to live by obeying the law. See also verses Romans 1:16-17, Romans 3:26-30, Romans 4:13-17, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 3:24. What does God mean by “the righteous shall live by faith”?

jus•ti•fy \ˈjəs-tə-ˌfī\ verb -fied; -fy•ing [Middle English justifien, from Anglo-French or Late Latin; Anglo-French justifier, from Late Latin justificare, from Latin justus] verb transitive 14th century

1 a : to prove or show to be just, right, or reasonable
b (1) : to show to […]

The Law Makes Us Righteous?

A friend involved with the HRM movement shared with me, “Justification (salvation) is through faith by grace. Sanctification (holy living) is through the Mosaic Law.” Further, he explained, that although they acknowledge salvation is through Jesus alone, one must obey the Mosaic Law through the power of the Holy Spirit in order to continue in the faith so as to be considered righteous before God. He shared how in the Old Testament it was impossible to obey all the Law because they did not have the Holy Spirit indwelling within them. But now it is.

This explanation seems to be logical, until you really think about what Jesus accomplished on the cross and in His resurrection. 1 Peter 3:18-22 shares the power […]
