- Art Katz conversion testimony told on the television program 100 Huntley Street, originating from Canada.
Art recounts his conversion experience as an unbelieving atheist and former Marxist, apprehended by a God whom he was not seeking, significantly and symbolically in Jerusalem, his conversion experience has been powerfully used to bring other of Art's Jewish kinsmen to the faith of their fathers.
Art Katz was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1929 of Jewish parents. Raised through the depression years and turbulence of World War II, and inducted into Marxist and existentialist ideologies, as well as merchant marine and military experiences, Art was brought to a final moral crisis as a high school teacher-able to raise, but not able to answer the groaning perplexities of the modern age.
During a leave of absence and on a hitch-hiking odyssey through Europe and the Middle East, the cynical and unbelieving atheist, vehement anti-religionist and anti-Christian was radically apprehended by a God who was actively seeking him. The actual journal of that experience, Ben Israel -- Odyssey of a Modern Jew, recounts his quest for the true meaning to life, which climaxed significantly and symbolically in Jerusalem.
Art attended Santa Monica City College, UCLA, and the University of California at Berkeley, earning Bachelor and Masters degrees in history, as well as a Masters degree in theology at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN. With his speaking ministry spanning nearly forty years, Art sought to bring the radical relevance of the Bible's message to contemporary societies, both secular and religious. With several of his books translated into major foreign languages, Art traveled frequently and widely as a conference speaker and prophetic voice for the church until his death in 2007. Art is survived by Inger, his wife of 41 years, their 3 children and 6 grandchildren.
The powerful theme that remained constant throughout Art's many years of ministry was unquestionably the centrality of the Cross of Christ. It permeated his words with such an authority and anointing that one could honestly say he preached "nothing but Christ and Him crucified" -- even though the subject matter may not have made any reference to the Cross at all. This may have been Art's greatest gift to the Church, namely, his refusal to know anything but a crucified Christ. It is no coincidence that the message most listened to and considered the best from Art's quiver is entitled • Art Katz's Conversion ...
Art portrayed a knowledge of God that few in contemporary times have fathomed or understood. Whether the subject was the future, necessary death and resurrection of the nation Israel, or Paul's teaching on widows and slaves in the congregation, Art strived to represent "God as He in fact is, and not as we think Him to be."
Art was a man who knew the 'terror of sin' and could therefore persuade others in the light of his experiential knowledge of God. It was a knowledge of God that did not come cheaply, but was gained in his devotional times with the Lord in the early hours of the day, in his daily prayer times with fellow believers at the Ben Israel Fellowship, in the knit and grit of living in community, in the writings of other believers, and in his close association with believers the world over.
Art was a prophetic voice insofar as he called his listeners to purposes in God that would affect both time and eternity, purposes that had to do with the glory of God in the Church. Frequently, his messages called the Church to an awareness of the Last Days [End-times] in such a way that made that time seem imminent and at the door. Some called him a forerunner in the sense of a man who cleared the way for others, and who could therefore call back and encourage them onward to the high call of God in Christ Jesus. Though a man of flesh and blood, like us all, Art walked that 'high road,' and one frequently caught a whiff of the fragrance of God, that can only emanate out of that place in God.
Art had the highest regard for the written Word of God; he was eminently the man of the Word. Because of that, he had an equal regard for words in general -- not least the preached word, and abhorred the light use of words, either from the pulpit or in small-talk. Consequently, his preached word, which is the distinguishing characteristic of a true prophet, bore a grace and power to penetrate the hearts of his listeners in ways that frequently brought true conviction and a new, more authentic way of seeing and understanding God.
We pray you be blessed by Art's ministry, who though he is no longer with us here on earth, he yet still speaks.

I can relate to Art's testimony although I was never a Jew. I was in a place of brokeness and emptiness. I knew something was missing in my life and I cried out to God. Needless to say, God heard my prayer from my heart and was faithful to answer me. Hallelujah!!! Praise God!!!
Jesus came to save the lost. Some people are comfortable and at home in Adam's death. They are not lost but you knew something was missing. They will feel pain when Adam's death and the hell they are in is thrown into the lake of fire but you were blessed.
That's so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
What a Beautiful Testimony, so much Joy in my heart hearing this man's connection with our Saviour Jesus.. Yes! Truly God works mysterious ways..😊
Art has some great books and his messages are hard and much needed to be heard.
Awesome God that We Serve !! Hallelujah to the Lamb of God
What a powerful testimony. Praise Yahweh forever.
What an encouraging testimony, of course even after he went home the ministry contues , and only that would be the way of Jesus Christ .
An outstanding testimony that everyone should listen to carefully.

What is more powerful than a Jew supernaturally coming to the knowledge of God through Christ?

No ones trying to convert you. Maybe your exiding something that's drawing controvery. Look at your own soul and reconciliation and stop persecuting the solution .
Why is there an aversion toward the name of Jesus? with the use of "Yeshua". Never heard of someone having demons cast out in the name of Yeshua.
How silly that someone who speaks English thinks that Jewish parents would have called their Jewish (royal) son an English name. Seriously?
Christianity is not a crutch, its a cross.
Why have you contacted me? How do you know what I've been bombarded with? How can you possibly comment about something you know nothing about? Oh, and as for a soul... lets just say we wont agree on that one! And 'the solution' as you call it, is only your view - so keep it to yourself, or fellow theists, and leave me alone! Bye
???
an adult jew with years of experience in the entertainment industry. coughing up another sob story about how he converted to jesus. it doesn't get any better.
Wtf are you talking about.
Very cynical
Yeshua is not the Jesus Christ of the bible. Based on false Hebrew renderings.
Actually its a hebrewic version of a name Jesus will not even speak known to us as THE SOVERIGN LORD
Yeshua is related to the name Joshua. Joshua the son of Nun is called both Joshua and Jeshua in the Hebrew Bible, and he's even called Jesus in the New Testament.
"Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:" ~ [Zechariah 6:11-12 KJV]
The high priest's name here is Joshua the son of Josedech, and this was a prophecy that his name would be the same name as the Messiah's name. He's also called Jeshua in English -- which is Yeshua in Hebrew -- in Ezra: "Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God." ~ [Ezra 3:2 KJV]
"Yeshua" is how believing Jews refer to Jesus today in Hebrew.
@@BibleClinger Hello bibleclinger I'm a Christ clinger myself more than a bibleclinger, but I love your explanation.. I'm glad I know though that God will not reject anyone if they don't call his Son Yeshua. Yeshua actually has many, though not actual names but titles. E.g. 'Wonderful", "Counselor", "The Mighty God", "The everlasting Father".. which are a few things that he is, at least to us who believe in him. What he IS I believe is far more important than a traditional Hebrew name.
@@glennrobinson7193 I agree that the nations do not have to use Hebrew pronunciation to be heard of God, and that "Jesus" and "Yeshua," as names, refer to the same person.
On your point of saying, "I'm a Christ clinger myself more than a bibleclinger" -- both the Bible and Christ are the Word of God. I do not see such a huge difference between the two ideas.
@@BibleClinger I said that because some of the religiously bigotted make an idol of the bible using verses as a sword against flesh and blood, persecuting those who oppose the bible and the weak in faith.
Art sounds sincere, that presenter is SO false! Look guys, life is tough, and whatever crutch you need to help you through - then go for it - but dont preach your beleifs onto those of us who are as athiest as you are religeous! I say that to the bloke who's been bombarding me with his views and thinks that I will see his way of the world by watching this video! Life if tough, and if god help you get through it - thats fine - but dont try to convert me, please! Thanks
The very pride you are manifesting is the very pride that Art had to face and forsake. He speaks in this sharing with kind and broken words. You speak with harshness and disdain. So is that what your prideful atheism produces? Those who enter the kingdom of God must do with humility as a little child. God actively resists and hides Himself from pride.
Ian! every one that is of the Truth heareth My Voice! Christ the Majestic One said to go into the World and preach the Gospel! When you have died on the cross for us we may listen- but until then! stop treading on Beauty and Grace-One day you will need it.
