Amen. I find this a wonderful testimony. The Scriptures teach that there will be revival in Israel before the resurrection happens. I believe that the Messianic movement, Christians moving toward Judaism, and the Nazarene movement, Jews moving toward accepting Jesus, are all part of how God accomplishes this revival. Unfortunately, some people are insecure in their salvation, and so whenever you start talking about Torah observance, they say, "why?" and they start getting worried that people are attacking their salvation. There are so many riches to be discovered in Torah observance. How wonderful it is to leave work earlier than usual on Friday afternoon, light the Shabbat candles, and welcome in God's Sabbath rest. I pray that none of us would be afraid of this. Now clearly there are people who abuse God's grace, and try to teach that one MUST observe Sabbath or he cannot be saved. Surely such Judaizers ought to be corrected. But let us not crush the holy and beautiful aspect of Torah observance because of fear of what someone might be saying. I believe that one day Jews will rebuild their temple and reinstitute animal sacrifice. Are Christians going to rise up with the animal rights activists in protest? I hope not! What greater way for modern Jews to begin to understand who Jesus was than to see it in their own ancient practices? Let us all be readying our hearts for the coming days, to worship our Lord in Jerusalem with the Jews. "Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you."
