Let Yeshua ‘Tabernacle' in You

The Jewish holiday Sukkot, which is also known as the Festival of Booths or the Feast of Tabernacles, is celebrated not only in the Holy Land, but also around the world. Jews call it the "season of joy" because Messiah was born. In biblical times, Jews journeyed to Jerusalem to commemorate the children of Israel's exodus, when God led them in the wilderness and they lived in booths. Jews today celebrate the holiday by eating, rejoicing and sleeping in decorated booths for eight days. Whether you're Jewish or not, we can all celebrate Yeshua and rejoice that He has come to "tabernacle" or dwell in us. Click below to watch video.

A Sign of the Times


Though Jesus clearly said of His return to the earth, "Of that day or hour no one knows" (Matt. 24:36, NKJV), there are signs throughout Scripture that point to the second coming of the Lord. One of them is the increasing number of Jewish people who are coming to recognize Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah, and another is the growing body of Messiah in the land of Israel itself.

The Messianic movement refers to the growing number of Jewish people who have become believers in Jesus, the Messiah of Israel. This movement began with the Jewish disciples, continued into the first four or five centuries and then was lost. After a terrible season of forced conversions during medieval times, more reasonable attempts to help Jewish people find Jesus began during the post-Reformation period. read more
