How does heaven fit into this? The Jewish understanding of the Messiah is that He's coming to rule here, to sit on the throne of David here and establish everlasting kingdom here. So if He's doing all that, we have to be here with Him, because He says, "Where I…
They cast out demons, healed the sick and did many wondrous works, and Yeshua never disputed any of it. So why did He say "I never knew you"? "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:23, KJV). The…

People say the law ended at the cross — but looking at Yeshua's words, the opposite is true. Heaven and earth will pass away before the smallest letter of Torah will pass away. Yeshua Himself assures us that Torah is not going to end any time soon. What sense would…

"Discernment without direct action is acceptance." Mikha'el Ben-Ya'akov on why recognizing the truth isn't enough: if discernment reveals something to you and you don't act on it, you're basically accepting whatever you're caught up in. 🎧 Full episode, "Idolatry: Battlefield Of The Mind": https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196768/episodes/18321033 🌐 More teachings: https://www.torahawakenings.com #Shorts #Discernment…
Did Yeshua end God's commandments at the cross? In Hebrew thought, God's commandments reflect His character, and God does not change.
