SOMETHING GOOD
Mashehu Tov
Greetings to you, from all of us who have worked diligently to prepare this information for your study.
It is our prayer that you will find something here of value — something that may satisfy your curiosity about what we believe concerning Yeshua HaMashiach.
We are not presenting this to force or coerce belief, but simply to share the truth of God’s Word so that you may examine it for yourself and make your own decision. Alongside the Scriptures, we also present testimonies of various rabbis who read the New Covenant (the New Testament) and came to recognize the truth of the Messiah. In addition, we include studies that answer questions about Him directly from the Bible.
These resources are available in English, French, Hebrew, Russian, and Spanish. If you know someone seeking to discover Yeshua, feel free to share this with them in their language.
As you read the testimonies of rabbis who sought the truth, you may find that they asked some of the same questions you have. They studied, searched, and prayed—and as a result, many of these devout, God-fearing men came to see what others had overlooked: that the Messiah was foretold in the Hebrew Bible, from Moses to the Psalms to the Prophets. They discovered that He had already come, that He lived among us, fulfilled many prophecies, and will return again to fulfill the rest.
We present their stories with humble hearts. Each rabbi sought only the truth—not opinions, not traditions, but God’s truth as revealed in His Word. You can read how they discovered that there is one God, and learn the true meaning of the word echad (a united oneness). You can study what they studied, wrestle with the same questions, and reach your own conclusions.
I myself am both Jewish and Christian — a Jew by birth, through my mother and her mother before her, and a follower of Yeshua by faith. A dear friend of ours, also Jewish and Christian, once served under one of Israel’s most famous generals. Years later, in civilian life, they spent an afternoon reminiscing. Eventually the conversation turned to faith. When the general heard of my friend’s belief in Yeshua as Messiah, he asked question after question. One stood out: “Did they force you to believe this way?” He was astonished to learn that faith is not coerced, but a personal decision.
Today, it is estimated that between 15,000 and 30,000 Jews in Israel believe in Yeshua as their Messiah. They serve in the military, work in every profession, pay taxes, and live as good citizens. Recently, an esteemed rabbi who lived past one hundred left behind a letter to be read one year after his death. In it, he declared his belief that the Messiah’s name is Yeshua. The letter was received with both rejection and acceptance — but each person must decide the truth for themselves.
Yeshua may not be an uncommon name, but there is only One who fulfilled the prophecies: born in Bethlehem, living among His people, performing miracles, dying a sacrificial death on a Roman cross, buried in a borrowed tomb, and resurrected bodily. This same Yeshua appeared to Gideon in the book of Judges. Gideon offered a sacrifice, and it was accepted — something no mere angel could do. Only God Himself accepts sacrifice. Gideon feared for his life, saying he had “seen God,” yet God reassured him: “Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.” Obedient men and women are not destroyed by God, they are blessed by Him.
The Hebrew Bible contains over 300 prophecies fulfilled by Yeshua. Read Isaiah 53 for yourself. Does it describe Israel, as some claim, or does it foretell the Messiah? You are capable of deciding for yourself.
We encourage you: do not just read these documents — study them. Think, pray, and ask God to show you the truth. The Bible speaks for itself. The Spirit of God reveals truth. The Son of God waits for your acceptance of Him.
Does not Genesis say, “Let us make man in our image”? This is not three gods. The Shema declares:
Deuteronomy 6:4 (KJV):
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.
One God, revealed in more than one person. Just as a man can be both a father, a son, a brother, and a husband, yet remain one man, so God is one yet reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Spirit.
The prophet Daniel also foresaw Messiah’s coming:
Daniel 9:24–27 (KJV):
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The sacrifices of the Temple pointed to the once-for-all sacrifice of Yeshua. As Moses taught, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. The blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin, but they pointed forward to the sacrifice that would. The blood of Jesus of Nazareth fulfills them all. His sacrifice alone brings forgiveness and reconciliation with God — no Temple required.
Some argue that when a Jew believes in Jesus as Messiah, he ceases to be Jewish. This is not true. Jewish identity is not erased by faith in the Messiah. I was born a Jew, and belief in prophecy fulfilled does not change my heritage. My DNA is not altered by my faith. To suggest otherwise is foolish.
In Israel and elsewhere, believing in Yeshua is sometimes considered betrayal. But the truth remains: faith in Messiah does not make one less Jewish, it makes one complete in God’s promises.
I implore you: do not let peer pressure, fear, or rumor keep you from seeking the truth. Decide for yourself. Think. Pray. Ask God to reveal Himself to you.
May your journey lead you to the Messiah’s truth, love, peace, and salvation.
Shalom.
