Daily ponderings about "The Messianic Movement's" Purpose in the World

What if the Messianic Movement (or Hebrew Roots or whatever you want to call it), has actually served its purpose? What if it's purpose was to influence the greater "church" steeped in "roman traditions" to talk about and consider their original origins in the Nation, People and Culture of Israel?

Is it possible that this is the main reason God raised up this Messianic Movement in the latter half of the 20th Century?

What are the implications of this reasoning on the "church"?

From Tov Rose; RE: The Seven Feasts of Moses and Why Should Christians Care?

The Seven Feasts of Moses
The Torah - the five books of Moses - details seven feasts during the Hebrew calendar:¹ Three feasts are in the spring, in the month of Nisan: Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of First Fruits. Then fifty days later there is the Feast of Weeks, Shavout, also known as Pentecost.
There are three remaining feasts in the fall, in the month of Tishri: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles. (There are two reckonings of the Hebrew year: the civil year starts in the fall on the 1st of Tishri; the religious calendar starts in the spring in the month of Nisan.² )
Their Prophetic Role
While each of these feasts has a historical commemorative role, they also have a prophetic role. Jesus indicated this in Matthew 5:17:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Paul also emphasized that in Romans 15:4:
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning...
The prophetic role of the feasts is also highlighted in Colossians 2:16 and 17:
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come...
The Feast of Trumpets
The Jewish New Year (Rosh Ha' Shana), along with the Feast of Trumpets, begins on the 1st of Tishri.
Immediately following the Feast of Trumpets begins the seven Days of Affliction, in anticipation of the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur , the Day of Atonement,³ is observed on the 10th of Tishri. This day was a day of sin offerings and numerous other rituals as it was the most solemn of all the observances.
This was the day - the only day - that the High Priest was able to enter the Holy of Holies,⁴ and then only after elaborate ceremonial washings, offerings, and associated rituals.
This was also the day that two goats were selected, one for an offering and one as the "scapegoat."⁵
(The lottery box, used to select which goat was to serve in which capacity, has been fashioned for service in the forthcoming Temple and may be seen during a visit to the Temple Institute in Jerusalem today.)
As many aspects of the feasts were prophetic, the scapegoat is also Messianic.⁶
Even the seven days preceding, the Days of Affliction, are an affliction of preparation, suggestive of the threshing floor, which is also a prophetic idiom.⁷
Since the loss of the Temple in 70 A.D., the God-centered observances of the Torah have tragically been replaced with a man-centered, good works system of appeasement through prayer, charity, and penitence.
However, it appears that a return to the traditional ways is on the horizon with the plans to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.⁸
Succoth (The Feast of Tabernacles)
Five days later, on the 15th of Tishri, is the final feast of the year: Succoth, the Feast of Tabernacles, or the Feast of Booths. This lasts for eight days and is one of the three feasts that were compulsory for all Jewish males.⁹
It is fascinating to visit Israel at this time and observe them build their temporary "booths" in the traditional way, leaving deliberate gaps in the branches to view the stars at night, and for the wind to blow through during the day. This is intended to remind them of the wilderness wanderings.
At the end of the eight days, they leave their temporary dwellings to return to their permanent homes. (This is one of the reasons some suspect that this feast, rather than the Feast of Trumpets, is suggestive of the Rapture of the Church. Also, there appears to be a hint by Peter, desiring to build "succoths" at the transfiguration.¹⁰ ) This day, traditionally, is the day that Solomon dedicated the first Temple.
This feast also involved a daily processional to the Pool of Siloam to fetch water for the Temple. This ceremonial procession is the setting for the events of John 7, where Jesus offers them "living water."¹¹
This procession involved four types of branches: the willow, the myrtle, the palm, and a citrus.¹² The willow has no smell and no fruit. The myrtle has smell, but no fruit. The palm has no smell, but bears fruit. The citrus has both smell and bears fruit. This sounds reminiscent of the four soils of the first "kingdom parable" of Matthew 13, doesn't it?¹³
The prophetic implications of this climactic feast are many. Most scholars associate it with the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom in Israel.¹⁴
In Summary
Most observers note that the first three feasts, in the first month of the religious year -Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, and Feast of First Fruits - are prophetic of the Lord's First Coming. They each were also fulfilled on the day they were observed.
Between these three feasts and the final three feasts is the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost, which is predictive of the Church. (It is also the only feast in which leavened bread is ordained!)
It is believed that the last three feasts, in the 7th month, are prophetic of the Lord's Second Coming. That is why many are particularly watchful in the fall of each year. For more background, schedule Tov Rose to speak to your group: 651-686-5600.

Hello!
I wanted to personally thank you for keeping up with all God is doing through my books and speaking engagements. The Love Israel Gathering in Idaho was amazing. It was incredible in so many ways I just don't have the words to express how I feel about it. Meeting Lev Shelo, with Corry Bell, was worth it all by itself. But reconnecting with James Goll, John and Ruth Filler, Rabbi Reuel Dillon, and so many others made the event so much more special. They each deserve a warm thank you for being part of this One New Man gathering.

I'm really looking forward to the next time we can all meet, separately or together!

If you're interested in seeing the conference, you can view all the sessions right here: http://www.thegatewayintl.org/resources

Finally, I'd be very grateful if you would click on over here to take a look at the Preview Editions of Volume II and Volume III of The NEW Messianic Version of the Bible. I'm sure you'll be blessed!

Blessings in Yeshua (Jesus),

What's Wrong with the Theology of the Messianic Movement?

I have a hard time understanding how so many people in the Messianic movement have so much trouble with these passages:

Genesis 1:1 tells us, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." John 1:1 talks about the beginning too, saying, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." Then we are told that everything that was made in the heavens and on the earth was made only by the Word of God. (v. 3.)

Jesus was in the beginning and He was the Word. All things were made through Him and in Him was life. (John 1:1-4.)

Believing God, by RT Kendall

Not all Christians believe as I do – in “once saved, always saved”. I have written a book on it – not to convince people but to assure those who want to believe it but are afraid it’s not true. I can tell you: it’s true.
I have not always believed in once saved, always saved. I was brought up in a church that not only believed the opposite. They even taught that the doctrine of eternal security was “born in hell”. (Never mind that they sang “Amazing Grace” all the time, overlooking the fact that John Newton the Calvinist believed in once saved, always saved!). What changed me: a supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ driving in my car on October 31, 1955. I was a student at Trevecca Nazarene College (now University) and pastor of the Church of the Nazarene in Palmer, Tennessee. The person of Jesus appeared before me as if before my very eyes although I know now it was a vision. But he was more real to me than anything around me. An hour or so later I entered into a rest of soul that I did not know was possible in this present life. Such peace. Joy. Assurance. Assurance? YES. I was given what I would absolutely call an infallible assurance of my salvation. I knew then (57 years ago) I could never be lost. People around me said, “You will change your mind about that”. I knew then I wouldn’t and I never did.
Why am I telling this to you? Two reasons: (1) Hebrews 11 – which I have been focusing on for a while – describes people who were not only saved but came into their inheritance. (2) All the Scriptures people use to refute eternal security refer not to losing one’s salvation but losing one’s inheritance. Every single one of them. Do not be discouraged when you read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:4 or Hebrews 6:4-6 and think you can be lost and go to Hell after being truly saved. Not one of these refer to salvation but inheritance.
You will not be totally free to pursue God’s best for you as long as you think you could lose your salvation. “Christ has set us free” (Gal.5:1).

Jesus in the Passover

Jesus in the Passover

By Tov Rose

 Jesus the Messiah celebrated the Seder with His disciples the night before his death, which became the origin of our traditional Christian communion service. As a believer in Jesus, I delight in examining the Passover and seeing how it is meant to teach us and draw us closer to our Savior.

Want to celebrate Passover with Tov? Give us a call to find a Messiah in the Passover presentation in your area!

There is so much meaning in the Passover and Jesus’ fulfillment of every symbol: The removal of leaven, washing the hands, lighting the candles, the Hagaddah, the four cups of wine, the Afikomen, the seder plate items (greens, egg, bitter herbs, Charoset, the Shankbone of the Lamb, the root of bitterness), the meal, the search for the Afikomen, and Elijah's Cup.

The removal of leaven

Before the beginning of the Passover, all leaven, which is a symbol of sin (1 Cor. 5:6-8), must be removed from the Jewish home. The house is cleaned from top to bottom and anything containing leaven is removed. Then, the evening before the Passover, the father of the house takes the traditional cleaning implements: a feather, a wooden spoon, and a bag, and searches the house for any specks of leaven that might have been missed (my mother used to leave it inside the spice cabinet so my father shouldn't spend all night hunting!).

The Search for Leaven is a reminder to Believers in Yeshua (Jesus), of several things: that we are to be separated from the leaven (sin) of the world, and not participate in it; and that our Messiah himself lived a sinless life before the eyes of many witnesses. Our homes should honor and model his life.

Washing the hands

Once the leaven is removed, the family sits around the table and ceremonially washes their hands with a special laver and towel. Jesus also took part in this tradition, but rather than wash his hands, he got up from the table and washed the feet of his disciples, giving us an unparalleled lesson in humility (John 13:2-17). In doing so he also fulfilled a prophetic passage from the Old Testament in preparing his disciples to physically carry the Gospel to all the world, “’How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.’” Isaiah 52:7 (English Standard Version, see also Romans 10:15 and Nahum 1:15)

Lighting the candles

Once the house and the participants are ceremonially clean, the Passover seder can begin. The woman of the house says a blessing and lights the Passover candles. I’ve always considered it appropriate that the woman brings light into the home, because it was through the woman that the light of the world, Messiah Jesus, came into the world (Gen. 3:15)

Haggadah

Haggadah means "the telling" - the telling of the story of Passover. The story is told in response to four questions asked by the children: why is this night different from all other nights? The father proceeds to tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt, reading from a book called "The Haggadah" and using symbols and object lessons in order to keep the attention of the little ones. The Message of Passover is the story of redemption through a sinless, spotless lamb who bares the sin of our family  so that we ourselves will not die when God passes over.

The first cup of wine

The seder begins with a blessing recited over the first of four cups of wine: "Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who hast created the fruit of the vine." Jesus himself blessed the first cup in Luke 22:17-18.

New Wine is the traditional choice for the Passover seder because in the Old Testament and Jewish tradition it represents the coming of the Kingdom of God (Joel 2:19-24; Zechariah 9:17). This blessing then foreshadows the inauguration of the Kingdom of God, while also inviting God to bring the Kingdom into our lives.

The second cup of wine

The second cup is to remind us of the Ten Plagues and the suffering of the Egyptians when they hardened their heart to the Lord. In order not to rejoice over the suffering of our enemies (Prov. 24:17), we spill a drop of wine (which is a symbol of joy) as we recite each of the Ten Plagues, thus remembering that our joy is diminished at the suffering of others, especially for those who suffer because of sin.

Afikomen

A very curious tradition now takes place. At the table is a bag with three compartments and three pieces of motzah. The middle piece of motzah is taken out, broken, and half is put back into the bag. The other half is wrapped in a linen cloth and hidden (to be taken out later after the meal). A blessing is spoken thanking God for giving us bread from the earth to sustain and nourish us.

The seder plate

The rabbis have devised a series of object lessons to keep the attention of the little ones during the Passover seder. These items are tasted by each person, as each is instructed to feel as if they themselves had taken part in the flight from Egypt.

Karpas - greens

The first item taken is the karpas, or greens (usually parsley), which is a symbol of life. The parsley is dipped in salt water, a symbol of tears, and eaten, to remind us that life for our ancestors was immersed in tears. Jesus, on the cross was given a sponge soaked in vinager to drink that was lifted to his mouth by a stick of karpas. 

Beitzah - egg

A roasted egg is on the seder plate to bring to mind the roasted daily temple sacrifice that no longer can be offered because the temple no longer stands. In the very midst of the Passover Seder, the Jewish people are reminded that they have no sacrifice to make them righteous before God. The egg is also a reminder of the power of the resurrection, and that we have new life in Jesus. He never gives up on us.

Maror - bitter herb

This is usually ground horseradish, and enough is eaten (with Motza) to bring a tear to the eyes. We cannot appreciate the sweetness of redemption unless we first experience for ourselves the bitterness of slavery. It was concerning the dipping of his Motza into the bowl that Jesus said of Judas Iscariot, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.” (Matthew 26:23) The Maror is also a reminder of the root of bitterness that we should try to keep out of our lives, choosing instead a life of forgiveness and grace as was shown to us (Psalm 133; Ephesians 2:7; 1 Corinthians 10:14-20).

Charoset

Charoset is a sweet mixture of chopped apples, chopped nuts, honey, cinnamon, and a little Manischewitz grape wine (kosher for Passover) just for color! This sweet, pasty, brown mixture is symbolic of the mortar that our ancestors used to build bricks in the land of Egypt. Why do we remember an experience so bitter with something so sweet? The rabbis have a good insight: even the bitterest of labor can be sweet with the hope of redeption. This is especially true for believers in the Messiah. We can find sweetness even in the most bitter experiences because we know our Lord's coming is near than when we first believed,

Shankbone of the Lamb

In every Jewish home, on every seder plate, is a bare shankbone of a lamb. In the book of Exodus, Jewish firstborns were spared from the Death by applying the blood of a spotless, innocent lamb applied to the doorpost of their homes as God brought the people from slavery into freedom. Today, we believe Jesus is that perfect Passover Lamb, and when we apply His blood to the “doorposts” or entry point of our heart, we too go from death into life, from slavery to sin into the freedom of being a redeemed child of God. As John the Baptist said when he saw Jesus coming towards him, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29)

The Root of Bitterness

Wait, Root of Bitterness? Like most Jewish believers in Yeshua (Jesus) who share the Passover story in churches, for many years, I never shared the story of the Root of Bitterness. I think that was unfortunate because it is probably one of the most important items!

The Root of Bitterness on the seder table brings to mind Psalm 133, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in Unity…” and what is it that causes division, “…lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled…” (Hebrews 12:15).

The Root of Bitterness hinders our prayers. The verses immediately following the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:14-15, show Jesus teaching that the forgiveness of our sin/debt (by God) is contingent on how we forgive others.

Even the esteemed Jewish Rabbi and likely successor to the chief rabbi of Israel (Acts 22:33), Paul the Apostle, also warned of the consequences of the Root of Bitterness in a believer’s life in direct relation to the Passover meal. He pointed out that there are serious consequences for taking “the Lord’s cup unworthily,” including sickness and the death of the believer in question, 1 Corinthians 11:23-32.

We should always be aware of the root of bitterness.  How do you forgive? It is a decision of the will, choosing not worry to about your emotions, not speak evil out of your mouth toward the other person, and diligently work at it despite any thoughts of Bitterness that come up. Do this you will fulfill Mark 12:29-34. After a while you will realize that God has done a miracle in your life by taking that poison out of you. That is what Bitterness is—poison. It is like taking a drink of the most powerful poison while hoping someone else is going to die instead of you.

The whole concept of a wicked root system establishing roots in our lives is scary.  We should want to keep the commandment of love (John 13:34-35). The message of Passover is not just redemption, it is also love and mercy. Luke 6:37 says, “Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.” This was Yeshua's heart and it should be ours as well.  

The Meal

As shared by Jesus and his disciples in singing of songs and good comforting food!

The Search for the Afikomen

After the meal is finished, the leader of the seder lets the children loose to hunt for the Afikomen, which was wrapped in a cloth and hidden before the meal. The house is in a ruckus as everyone rushes around to be the first to find the Afikomen and claim the prize as grandpa redeems it from the lucky locator. The going rate is $25.00! Once the leader has retrieved the Afikomen, he breaks it up into pieces and distributes a small piece to everyone seated around the table. Jewish people do not really understand this tradition, but traditions don't need to be understood - just followed! However, it is widely believed that these pieces of Afikomen bring a good, long life to those who eat them.

Many scholars believe that the tradition began with the disciples of Jesus. Understanding this then, Luke 22:19 takes on a greater meaning: "And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'" Jesus the Messiah would have taken the middle of the three pieces of motza, which represented the priest and mediator between God and the people, broken it as His body would soon be broken, then wrapped half in a linen cloth as he would be wrapped in linen for burial and hidden it as he would be buried. Later this prophetic Afikomen would be brought back, as Jesus himself was resurrected! Finally, Jesus distributed it to everyone seated with him, as He would distribute His life to all who believe. As He did this, he was conscious that this middle piece of motza represented His own, spotless body given for the redemption of His people. As the motza is striped and pierced, His own body would be striped and pierced, and it is by those wounds that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). This middle piece of motza, or the Afikomen, is our communion bread.

Third Cup

The third cup of wine is taken after the meal. It is the cup of The Covenant, or the cup of redemption, which reminds us of the shed blood of the innocent Lamb which gave us freedom. We see that Jesus took the third cup in Luke 22:20 and 1 Corinthians 11:25, "In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the New Covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.'" This was not just any cup, it was the cup of redemption from slavery into freedom. This is our communion cup.

Fourth Cup

The fourth cup is the Cup of Hallel. Hallel in Hebrew means "praise," and we see in the beautiful High Priestly Prayer of John 17, that Jesus took time to praise and thank the Lord at the end of the Passover Seder, his last supper. The spotless Passover Lamb had praise on his lips as he went to his death.

Elijah's Cup

A place setting remains empty for Elijah the prophet, the honored guest at every Passover table. The Jewish people expect Elijah to come at Passover and announce the coming of the Messiah (Malachi 4:5). A place is always set, a cup is filled with wine, and hearts are expectant for Elijah to come announcing the Good News. At the end of the seder meal, a child is sent to the door to open it and see if Elijah is there. Every year, the child returns, disappointed, and the wine is poured out without being touched. Many of my people still wait and hope for Messiah - they do not realize that their Messiah has already come. Those of us who believe in Yeshua know that He is the one of whom the prophets spoke. He is the spotless, unblemished Passover Lamb, whose body was broken for us, whose blood was shed, and who now lives to distribute His life to all of us who apply His blood to the doorpost of our hearts and have passed from death into His eternal life.

When we finally celebrate our Marriage Supper with Jesus, it will be at a Passover Table with the Passover Lamb who took away the sin of the world!

An Amazon Best Seller! The New Messianic Version of the Bible - This changes everything. Get it:http://www.TheBookOfGod.org/

The New Messianic Version of the Bible is raising eyebrows in the world of Bible translators not only for restoring the capitalized GOD and LORD with the English translation of God's Names that are correct, but it takes things a step further...
The name Yehovah is from the consonants YHWH, and can be found almost 6000 times in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). YHWH is rendered as LORD in most English Bibles, according to the pattern set by the King James Bible translators. But did you know that there are TWO forms of the Divine Name, the YHVH? One is the Father God and the other is His Son. Can you tell them apart in the Bible? 

Author Tov Rose explains, "Today, Jewish people and Christians alike suffer a similar kind of blindness: They do not know their God. I know, that looks like an inflammatory statement, but please give me to the end of the book to present my case before passing judgment. There is a secret hidden in your Bible."
This groundbreaking book answers the one question most Christians and Jewish people alike get wrong, "Who is the God of the Hebrew Bible?" 
Again, Tov, "If you said, 'God the Father' then you got it wrong, and I'm going to prove it to you."
What you find in the pages of The New Messianic Version of the Bible may shatter everything you've ever known about God. It might also open the doors you to really know who God the Father really is. 
One respected Rabbi is quoted as saying, "Our sages of blessed memory, long before the Christian Era, held that there was a plurality in the Godhead. Indeed, this teaching was held for yet 100 years after the destruction of the second temple (70 A.D.), and, as it was contained and declared in the Holy Scriptures, it was also set forth in our most ancient books." - Rabbi Tzvi Nassi
Who are we to argue with such an old tradition?
Personally, I am in favor of the most literal translation of the Bible regardless of who translates it. Any translation that is going to be closer to what was originally written is bound to bring its readers closer to God.

Besides, in Deuteronomy 4:2, tells us not to add or take away from God's Word, yet many translators removed the Divine Name. Every other religion on the planet uses the proper name for their God. Why don't Christians and Jewish people do the same? It is odd. You don't have to be a scholar to know that removing someone's personal name and replacing it with a title is not accurate translating. In fact, it might actually be offensive. Just as offensive would be calling your own father by a name that wasn't actually his own, you know, like the name of his son? How much more offensive to God the Father when we use the wrong name?

Tov goes on to explain, "In the New Testament book of John 6:46 Jesus says, 'No man has seen The Father...' If that is the case, then who have people seen, spoken to and even shared meals with in the Old Testament? Even in Exodus 33:11 it says, 'And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend." But if Moses did not speak with The Father face to face, then to whom was he speaking?'"

Some people are adamant about only reading the Bible translation they were raised on. Others see the benefit in modern translations.

Whichever translation you personally prefer, most people will agree there should always be room for the author's personal name in His own book. 
And this version of the Bible goes a step further. It clearly shows you who the author really is, and it isn't God the Father.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (John 8:58)
I dare you to open this book...

Review

"Tov Rose fills in the gaps of God the Father.  The church has emphasized God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit.  But in the last days, the emphasis will be on understanding and knowing God the Father.  Only someone with a Jewish understanding can bring us this end-time revelation [and Tov has done so]."

"Tov has captured and addressed two major issues facing our culture and the Christian church today; an inadequate and incorrect understanding of our Heavenly Father and the intimate relationship He desires with us, and the inaccurate perception that many men and women have about God's created purposes for men. A true and biblical understanding of both issues, as presented by Tov, will result in a wonderful, fulfilling relationship with our Heavenly Abba (Daddy) and with one another in our earthly relationships."

"A Unique Approach...I have known Tov for years and knew that he was a multi-talented individual. Little did I know that he was an author too! What a pleasant surprise to find a fresh, edgy, challenging and inspiriting call to the men of the 21st century to "Man Up!" Yet he does this without the typical approach of religious condemnation or psychological MANnipulation. He easily recaptures the lost art of story-telling to impart spiritual wisdom from the Holy Scriptures, the Book of Books, a very safe place to find truth and enlightenment on this oft overlooked topic...So I give this book my full recommendation..."  Rabbi Ed Rothman

Product Description

Today, Jewish people and Christians alike suffer a similar kind of blindness: They do not know their God.

I know, that looks like an inflammatory statement, but please give me to the end of the book to present my case before passing judgment. There is a secret hidden in your Bible.

The name Yehovah is from the consonants YHWH, and can be found almost 6000 times in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). YHWH is rendered as LORD in most English Bibles, according to the pattern set by the King James Bible translators.

But did you know that there are TWO forms of the Divine Name, the YHVH? One is the Father God and the other is His Son. Can you tell them apart in the Bible?

With this groundbreaking book now you can answer the one question MOST Christians and Jewish people get wrong: Who is the God of the Hebrew Bible? If you said, “The Father” then you got it wrong, and I’m going to prove it to you.

What you will find may shatter everything you've ever known about God. It might also open the doors you to really know Who The Father is.

One respected Rabbi is even quoted as saying, “Our sages of blessed memory, long before the Christian Era, held that there was a plurality in the Godhead. Indeed, this teaching was held for yet 100 years after the destruction of the second temple (70 A.D.), and, as it was contained and declared in the Holy Scriptures, it was also set forth in our most ancient books.” - Rabbi Tzvi Nassi

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (John 8:58)

Who am I to argue with such an old tradition?

I dare you to open this book…
