If your life is not in jeopardy for what you
believe, you’re probably on the wrong side!
“Indeed, all who want
to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.” (2Tim 3:12)
It is what you actually believe that determines how you walk out your faith,
“but avoid stupid controversies, genealogies,
quarrels and fights about the Torah; because they are worthless and
futile.” (Titus 3:9)

Signs of the Anti-Messiah A soon-coming world leader will either negotiate or ratify a treaty with Israel which will guarantee the peace and safety of Israel for a period of seven years, at least within the city of Jerusalem, and that the Temple will be re-built, and Temple worship with the complete sacrificial system will be re-established.

The Rising Tide of Anti-Semitism Today the Islamists are virulently anti-Semitic. They not only want to erase Israel and the Jews from the map, but they want to revive anti-Semitism throughout the world as the means to do that.
The “Church” and the Holocaust Just as they did during the atrocities of WWII, the “Church” continues to turn its collective head and ignore the evil continually committed against the Jewish people.
Heaven or the Kingdom? It is very important to understand that the core message of Yeshua and His Shliachim was not the message of the modern Christian Church.
“Jesus Christ” — A False Prophet? After wrestling for many years with the issue of why it is so difficult for the Jewish people to accept Yeshua of Nazareth as the promised Jewish Messiah, I now understand that the reason is that they are being faithful to the Torah, which teaches that the distorted caricature that the Church presents as the “Gentile God Jesus Christ” is, in fact, a false prophet!
Replacement Theology “Replacement Theology” is the heretical teaching that the Church has replaced Israel as God's chosen people. Incredibly, it is being taught by the vast majority of “Christian” Churches worldwide.
The True Gospel What is being taught in churches today is simply not what Yeshua or any of the Apostles taught as “the Gospel.” It is only the “individual salvation gospel” and not the complete gospel. At no place in the four Gospel accounts is it ever recorded that “Yeshua went up on a hill, and He sat down, and began to teach His disciples, ‘believe in Me for the forgiveness of your sins, so that you can have a personal relationship with Me and go to heaven when you die.’”
The Wedding Gown The tale of a wedding gown that survived the Holocaust; with Iraq, Iran, and others claiming the Holocaust to be “a myth,” it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

Changes Cults Make Cult groups generally hold the authority of their founder and his/her descendants above that of the Scriptures.
