- The Messianic movement is a return to the fundamental position of the church, since it has gone through some tremendous changes since the death of the Apostles.The directives and heritage that was left by the Holy Apostles has been over run by traditions that are not Biblical and have become lost in human churchianity. So it is imperitivie to learn to understand the Holy Sriptures from their Jewish perspectives. It is a rabbinical saying that "You don't know where to go, until you see where you have been" and so learning the Jewish understanding of the scriptures gives us a better and clearer view of what was first taught by Paul,Peter, and James so that we can give the next generation a totally undiluted picture of how to carry the directives forward.  In truth the Brit Hadashah is a Jewish Covenant as stated in Jeremiah 31:31, Ezekiel 36:24-30,  the Apostles were Jewish, and they served a Jewish Messiah. So the question we need to ask is, if the Gentiles were grafted in according to Romans 11:17 what were they grafted into?  The answer is Israel! God's people have not been discarded in order to present the church as the New Israel, The Gentiles were grafted into Israel not the other way around. So if the church is the 'one new man' as stated in Eph 2:15 and the Jews are not apart of that church is it really the church? This is the question that every believer needs to ask themselves. God has not done away with His ancient people, rather He has enlarged them by the grafting in of the Gentiles as was prophetically indicated (Isaiah 42:1, 56:3-8, 61:8-10). Yeshua did not come to bring endless denominational structures ,He came to bring the way to Life!! If He had wanted denominations He would have revived the twelve tribes, but He didn't He was contented with what He had started with Israel! <...> Christianity is Jewish!

Since then the Lord has taken me to minister in USA, Canada, Poland ,Ireland and around England and Scotland. Beit Shalom Ministries is a series of prayer groups all over the UK which I in frequently attend for prayer and Bible study. Оnce a year we have our Beit Shalom Conference which has been a great blessing for the last three years. I have quite a large data base of people from all over the world that get my Beit Shalom News items from Israel and around the Messianic Movement.
