Thank you I go to a messianic synagogue, I started going to a Christian church but I started to know that something was missing so I pray to God to guide me and he did without knowing that I am Jewish descendent from the sefardís from 1400 in Spain it has been an amazing walk
Mottel I remember seeing you at Main Street Baptist Church years ago. I appreciate your teachings on Pauline Epistles. I am living in Williamsburg Virginia now
Thanks so much friends. The positive comments are an encouragement. In addition to these Galatians studies, I should be able to upload 3 or 4 teaching Bible videos of various lengths (shorter than this one) each month after this series, just make sure you've subscribed to my Ministry channel see the new ones. Shalom, Mottel
I'm a gentile believer who has stumbled upon your videos about a month ago. I thank God He showed me your videos. I've always ever since I became a believer 20 some years ago, have had a passion for the Jewish people. Right now I'm in a deep study of the OT. I'm realizing just how relevant and important the OT is to us today as believers. Even though we are under grace and not the law now, I realize the true importance of the law and the prophets. I'm gaining a deeper understanding of how Jesus has fulfilled the law, yet how we are still , all of us under the moral law since that is ongoing and reflects God's very nature. I've felt led for years to be a witness to the Jewish people and lead them to Christ. Any thoughts and direction on how to do that would be much appreciated. Thank you.
I love this! Personally I love 'One for Israel' on RUclips. They have many testimonies of Jews turning to Jesus & what their turning point was. Be blessed, Shalom
Thank you for these teachings I absolutely love and appreciate everything you do. I am praying for you and try to share your videos as much as I can to try to reach my family and friends who have yet to make the leap to our Messiah! Keep it up Rabbi I love you
Thanks so much Mary Jo, I love to hear how our Lord is using these Bible teaching videos. May your family members respond to Messiah !! - be well, Mottel
Brother Mottel, I was listening to you at GLC but lately there are other shows on but so thrilled to find you here. I'm a gentile believer in Yeshua and I am learning so much from your teachings. About 2 years ago the Lord gave me a hunger to learn about my jewish roots. I also teach secular studies at an orthodox jewish school and would appreciate any advice for sharing Yeshua with a tough group 😉 But the Lord just opened a door in which I was able to tell my elementary students that there is no prohibition against mixing meat and dairy in the written Tanakh. Please pray for a breakthrough. 🙏✝️💜 I also am so warmed listening to your personal stories of childhood and family background.
Whatever you grandparent told you growing up that (even if Christians are nice to you underneath they are harboring anti Semitic) simply is half truth. My childhood friend is a Jew, moved to Israel long time ago when antisemitic movement in the middle and near east made it impossible for them to live in those countries but I never forgot her , searched for her for years and years finally few years ago found her, Praying that the perfect will of Jesus Christ keep her safe and the Holy Spirit minister to her.
Hi there , great teachings. May I suggest organising all your series’s into playlists? Makes it easy for folks to listen to all in a row at work while busy and unable to touch the phone to put on the next video 😇
There are not very many Messianic Congregations to begin with, and they differ greatly in doctrine, in the Houston area we recommend: - www.cbmhouston.org/
@@messengersmessianicjewisho1058 thank you!!! God Bless You. I’m thirsty to learn the truth about Yeshua. Here in the west it’s all watered down and lots of mega churches that don’t preach THE WORD. Thank you so much.
" a decision made on Sunday morning in one hour and live the rest of my life as though nothing has changed"that's a sad but most often true testimony of us evangelical /gentile background/ believers
Nothing more than an act of self-preservation. You may have noticed that some believers can be very opinionated about that issue. Still alive & well, Mottel.
Hello Magda, The Menorah that stood in the Holy Place of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem until 70 AD had 3 branches on each side, plus a central stem, for a total of 7. That design is Biblical and can be seen on the Arch of Titus in Rome. The Menorah in my video is a Hanukkah Menorah, which has 4 branches on each side plus a central stem. Some Hanukah menorahs are arranged differently as that design is not mandated in scripture. Be well, Mottel.
Is it not true that the real physical Jews were done away with when the temple felled and a lot of Jews died and the others were taken into slavery. With no temple there is no book of life or anything to show the genealogy of today so called Jews and the tribe they are from What tribe are you from sir.🤷🏿♂️
Hello Ron, It's a good question, and here's the core of the answer offered by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, a Messianic Jewish Bible Scholar, from whom I've learned much. It concerns the Hebrew word 'Olam', which is the word usually rendered as 'Forever' in English. However, the actual mean of that word is dependent on two things: CONTEXT, what is being spoken of, and PERSON OBJECT, who is being described. Read what Dr. Fruchtenbaum says: - A Look at the Hebrew Word Olam: - Olam - The Definition: The Hebrew word olam means in the far distance. When looking off in the far distance it is difficult to make out any details and what is beyond that horizon cannot be seen. This concept is the olam. The word olam is also used for time for the distant past or the distant future as a time that is difficult to know or perceive. This word is frequently translated as eternity or forever but in the English language it is misunderstood to mean a continual span of time that never ends. In the Hebrew mind it is simply what is at or beyond the horizon, a very distant time. A common phrase in the Hebrew is "l'olam va'ed" and is usually translated as "forever and ever" but in the Hebrew it means "to the distant horizon and again" meaning "a very distant time and even further" and is used to express the idea of a very ancient or future time.(1) Notes From Dr. Fruchtenbaum (Ariel Ministries): The Concept of Eternity. The simple, basic truth is that Classical Hebrew, the Hebrew of the Old Testament Scriptures, has no term that carries the concept of "eternity." There are phrases that carry this concept, such as "without end," but there is not a single word that carries the concept of eternity as there is in English. To focus on the meaning of the term for ever, here are some things to be kept in mind. First, the Hebrew word is olam. The word itself simply means "long duration," "antiquity," "futurity," "until the end of a period of time." That period of time is determined by the context. Sometimes it is the length of a man's life, sometimes it is an age, and sometimes it is a dispensation. The second thing to keep in mind is that there are two Hebrew forms of olam. The first form is le-olam, which means "unto an age." And the second form is ad-olam, which means "until an age." However, neither of these forms carry the English meaning of "forever." Although it has been translated that way in English, the Hebrew does not carry the concept of eternity as the English word "forever" does. The third thing to keep in mind is that the word olam, le-olam, or ad-olam, sometimes means only up "to the end of a man's life." For example, it is used of someone's lifetime (Ex. 14:13), of a slave's life (Ex. 21:6; Lev. 25:46; Deut. 15:17), of Samuel's life (I Sam. 1:22; 2:35), of the lifetimes of David and Jonathan (I Sam. 20:23), and of David's lifetime (I Sam. 27:12; 28:2; I Chr. 28:4). While the English reads for ever, obviously from the context it does not mean "forever" in the sense of eternity, but only up to the end of the person's life. The fourth thing to keep in mind about the meaning of olam is that it sometimes means only "an age" or "dispensation." For example, Deuteronomy 23:3 uses the term for ever but limits the term to only ten generations. Here it obviously carries the concept of an age. In 2 Chronicles 7:16, it is used only for the period of the First Temple. So, again, the word for ever in Hebrew does not mean "eternal" as it does in English; it means up to the end of a period of time, either a man's life, or an age, or a dispensation.(2) Acknowledgments: 1). www.ancient-hebrew.org/27_eternity.html 2). hadavar.org/lawofmoses.html
