Christians all over the world celebrate the resurrection of the Jewish Messiah. In Jewish tradition the resurrection is pivotal. Though it is understood in a corporate rather than individual sense, it nevertheless looks forward to the fulfillment of all the promises that God had made to Israel.The resurrection of Yeshua is significant because it proved that He was the Son of God (Romans 1:4), and confirmed that all he said and taught was true (Matthew 28:6). In addition, it served as the declaration of the Father to Israel that Yeshua met or fulfilled all the requirements of the Mosaic Law (Philippians 2:8-9).YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT7XB6tR-AM

What does Messiah's parable of the fig tree refer to? Some suggest it is a symbol for Israel, and interpret Yeshua's words to mean that when Israel became a State then Messiah would return within the generation (Matthew 24: 32-35). Rather we should understand the fig tree as simply an illustration. You will note that in Luke's account, Yeshua did not merely say, "learn a lesson from the fig tree" as in Matthew's account. Luke records Yeshua saying, "Look at the fig and all the trees..."  Yeshua was not just focusing attention on the fig tree. If the fig tree symbolizes Israel, what do "all the trees" symbolize?" Yeshua is simply using the fig tree as an object lesson. When, in Israel, the fig tree blossoms, one knows summer is near. Similarly, when the signs that Messiah had given fully emerge, then we will know he is coming to establish his kingdom very soon. Matthew records Messiah saying, "He is near, at the gate." Luke states, "The kingdom of God is near." The Messiah went on to provide further assurance that what he said will most certainly come to fruition. He said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." Following this Messiah then taught on the "rapture" of the body of believers (I Thessalonians 4:13-18) in Matthew 24:36-41.

As Messiah begins to conclude his teaching on the last days he addresses the disciples question, "What will be the sign of your coming?" (Matthew 24:3). Messiah mentions 5 things will occur. First, there will be a complete blackout of the heavens (Matthew 24:29). The sun, moon, stars, and heavenly bodies will not shine their light. Second, this heavenly phenomena along with the roaring and churning of the seas will effect all of humanity immensely. Luke tells us the inhabitants of the earth will experience great stress, anxiety, perplexity, and confusion. The terror will be so gripping stout hearted men will cower in great fear and agitation (Luke 21:25-26). Third, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. The sign is the Shekinah glory. Messiah does say he will come on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory (Matthew 24:30). The glory is the Shekinah, the glory of the heavenly Father (Matthew 16:27). Fourth, the twelve tribes of Israel, that is the Jewish people will mourn (Matthew 24:30). They will mourn over the national rejection of Yeshua as Messiah. They will mourn (Zechariah 12:10) and God in his mercy and grace will forgive them of their sin and cleanse them of all unrighteousness (Zechariah 13:1). Fifth, Messiah with the sound of the shofar will send out his angels to the four corners of the earth to regather his people Israel back to their own Land (Matthew 24:31; Isaiah 27:12-13).

Who are they?Who is Hamas? Why are they terrorists?What does the Hamas Charter really say?Is the current conflict the fulfillment of Bible prophecy?Is this Ezekiel 38 unfolding before our eyes?How should we pray for Israel?YouTube:https://youtube.com/live/VsqcHXAkn5oPowerpoint:Israel's Current Conflict & God's Eternal Plan_Complete.pptx

Beginning from Zechariah 13:7 the prophet provides the reader with 7 stages leading to the restoration of Israel and the Messianic Kingdom. The first stage is the death of Messiah (13:7). It is the Lord who according to his plan and purpose brings about the death of Messiah. He commands the "sword" to strike so as to kill. Previously Zechariah prophesied of a time when Israel would look upon "me" whom they have pierced (12:10). The One Isaiah wrote of whom the Lord "willed to crush and suffer" (Isaiah 53:10) for the sins of his people Israel.In addition the shepherd who is struck is referred to as "my shepherd and "the man who is close to me" (13:7). This Hebrew phrase indicates the shepherd is not merely "close" in the sense of proximity. The meaning is "to be identified with," "just like," "equal to." Zechariah is alluding to the mysterious complex nature of our God. He is one (Deuteronomy 6:4) and yet at the same time plural. Zechariah's usage of this term is consistent with the further revelation that while God is one he mysteriously exists as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.The second stage is the dispersion of the Jewish people (13:7). The "sheep" who are scattered refers to the Jewish people. The phrase translated "I will turn my hand against" literally states, "I will turn my hand toward." The meaning could be "against," but also could be understood "to restore." Both are true. The dispersion of the Jewish people is a judgment upon Israel for the rejection of Messiah when he came. But it is also true that the Jewish people are the Chosen People whom the Lord loves very deeply and will one day restore completely as a nation.Zechariah 13:7 is quoted by Yeshua (Matthew 26:31; Mark 14:27) in reference to the scattering of the disciples during his arrest. The scattering of the disciples was a foreshadowing or inauguration of the scattering of the nation. Messiah is applying what Zechariah prophetically stated about the Jewish people and has come to fruition to his disciples.The third stage looks forward to the final period of the dispersion of the Jewish people when they will experience a period of unprecedented suffering and persecution. This period is referred to as the Tribulation Period, the final 7 years of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy (Daniel 9:27). Zechariah tells us during this time 2/3 of all the Jewish people in the Land of Israel will perish. 1/3 will be refined and enter the Messianic Kingdom (Zechariah 13:9).The fourth stage is the gathering of the armies of the world against Israel and the Jewish people (Zechariah 14:1-2). The attack will occur against Jerusalem and the city will fall.The fifth stage is the coming of Messiah in defense of his people Israel and the defeat of her enemies (Zechariah 14:3-5, 12-15). The sixth stage concerns the restoration of Jerusalem. Zechariah writes of the return of the Shekinah glory (Zechariah 14:6-7), and the creation of living water out from Jerusalem bringing fertility to the entire Land of Israel (Zechariah 14:8). He states the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be the only God (Zechariah 14:9), and Jerusalem will dwell in security (Zechariah 14:10-11).Lastly, the prophet points out all the nations will worship the Lord alone (Zechariah 14:10-19), and everything in the kingdom will be holy to the Lord (Zechariah 14:20-21).YouTube:

THE END OF THE AGE & MESSIAH'S COMINGThis Shabbat service, we continue to study together what Yeshua taught concerning the last days. We'll focus on Matthew 24:15-28 where Messiah speaks about what he describes as a period of great tribulation. He states, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened" (vs. 21-22).YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/YG2iRbgOuR0

Recorded on January 27, 2024 at Tarzana.MESSIAH'S TEACHING ON THE LAST DAYSAt Beth Ariel, we have been learning what Yeshua taught on the end times. We have been focusing on our studying Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21:20-24. In addition to these passages, Mark 13:1-37 also addresses the theme of the last days.We have come to Matthew 24:15 which records Yeshua's statement, "So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel -- let the reader understand..." Yeshua's reference to "the abomination that causes desolation" in Daniel has led us to investigate Daniel 9:24-27.YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/iHx2TGShKtU
