God's Prophetic Plan of Restoration

The great promise of the Bible from both Old and New Testaments is the coming of the Messiah! There are four reconciliations which the scriptures require before the coming of the Messianic kingdom and there are opportunities for believers as God's fellow workers (1Cor. 3:9; IICor.6:1) to help bring these things to pass. The first reconciliation is that of the church to her Hebraic-Jewish roots; the second is the church to the Jewish people; the third is the Jewish people to their (Jewish!) Messiah and the fourth is the Messiah to planet earth .

Acts3:21 tells us the heavens must literally restrain the Lord Jesus, Yahshua, until the timesof restoration of all things that the prophets have declared. In addition to this precondition, Yahshua, himself, declared that he will hot return to reign upon the earth until the Jewish people call him back from heaven: "You will not see me again until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of YHVH. Mathew 23:39. Central to all the prophets visions and utterances was the unwavering commitment of God to restore Israel ultimately both to her land and to "David" her king, a symbol of the Messiah.

Why Study Hebraic Roots?

To fully comprehend our Christian faith, we should know about our heritage. We study a Hebrew book written by Hebrews; we serve a Hebrew Lord, who had Hebrew disciples, we desire to follow the first century church which was predominately Hebrew, so it makes sense to study the Hebrew culture!. A good grasp of the ancient Hebraic customs and terminology would allow you to re-examine Scripture in this powerful new light, exposing intricate details and treasures.

About the One New Man

"Wherefore, remember, that ye were once the nations in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands, that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. But now, in Christ Jesus you who were then afar off came to be near by the blood of Christ. For He is our peace, He making us both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, annulling in His flesh the enmity, (death by breaking ) the Law of the commandments in decrees, that He might in Himself create the two into one new man, making peace and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, slaying the enmity in Himself.....you are no longer strangers and tenants but you are fellow citizens of the saints and of the household of God...". Eph 2:11

One has not replaced the other as His chosen people.

What does this mean?

It means that all true believers in the God of Israel and His Son Yahshua, Jesus, are Israelites and are included in the invitation to become part of the olive tree of Israel. Romans 11,1 Grafted in

 

 

 

 

 

Mission Statement

The One New Man Resource Center was called into being from a vision from The Holy Spirit to encourage believers and nonbelievers to "seek God in Spirit and in Truth". Our mission is to provide thought provoking articles, DVD's, web sites, CD's and various other material including art and music created by select believers who have, themselves, spent many hours researching material or hearing directly from our Creator while seeking these truths.

From Genesis to Revelation, the story line of the BIble runs from the creation to the restoration of all things. "Behold." says the Lord, " I am making all things new" Revelation 21:5.

Christians have long missed a significant part of the Hebraic heritage of their faith that focused the life of the community of believers in ancient times on study and learning,and literacy. In the Jewish community, the most important function of the synagogue is that of being a House of Study (Beit Midrash.) Study of God's word is foundational to all learning.

Join other Messianic believers and people who are seeking the TRUTH, about their heritage and the coming Messiah. For the past nineteen centuries, millions of believers have been denied their biblical legacy, the riches of the Hebrew foundations of their faith. Christian Judaeophobia, anti-Judaism, and anti-Semitism have conspired to rob them of the treasures of their inheritance. If you are interested in obtaining or sharing information about Yahshua Jesus, our Messiah, and the truth about your heritage, and the coming age, please contact me. YHVH's feasts and instructions are for all of us, not just the Jews. We have been grafted into the Olive Tree, and share the inheritance. Learn more about the coming age, and prepare for your future!

Why should my Church study about her Jewish Roots? A Message for Pastors

By Dr. Howard Morgan

There are many important reasons why Christians should learn about the Jewish Roots of the Christian faith. But before we discuss them, let me address one common concern that many pastors rightfully have about this subject. When we talk about "Jewish Roots," we are NOT teaching that Christians should come under the law of Moses, because "we are not under the law, but under grace" (Romans 6:14), or that Christians should appropriate modern Jewish worship traditions, such as wearing a prayer shawl (Tallit), or head covering (Kippah), or putting on phylacteries (Tiffillim). We ARE teaching the restoration of the authentic Biblical "faith once delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). This faith is the "Faith of Abraham," (Romans 4:16) perfected and made available to the whole world by the birth, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. Christian faith, as practiced in far too many places today, does not reflect Biblical Jewish heritage. In many, if not most places, "Christianity" reflects the influences of non-Biblical belief systems, various human "religious" traditions, and worldly cultures. All around the world, the Holy Spirit is moving upon believers to explore their historic Biblical Jewish Roots to determine how God would have the Body of Christ reclaim this inheritance. This reclamation includes studying (a very Jewish and scriptural activity) the proper place of the Old Testament, including the Law, in our lives (1 Timothy 2:15). After all, the same Apostle who wrote that "Messiah is the end of the law for righteousness" (Romans 10:4), also wrote that the law is "... holy, spiritual and good." (Romans 7:12 &14) He also testified that his "inner man delighted in the law" (Romans 7:22) and that its study has the ability to train believers in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

MESSIANIC SEAL

R.O.O.T.S. - Recycling of Old Testament Secrets

The Most Ancient Symbol of Christianity
“For the Oil of the Spirit”

FOUND: The First Century baptismal grotto of James the Just and the Apostles on Mount Zion, Jerusalem. James, the brother of Jesus, was the leader of the first Nazarene (Messianic) church located in the Upper Room on Mount Zion.

Our story begins in 1963, when a small ceremonial silver lamina (a thin plate) was found in the Judean Desert near Jerusalem, dating back to the first Century. A Catholic priest and archaeologist named Emanuel Testa deciphered the Aramaic text of this artifact, the first line of which reads: “For the Oil of the Spirit.” Testa was amazed to find that the text was nearly identical to James 5:14-16. This tiny lamina (3"x1") is a sort of pass card or certificate of belief in Jesus, used in early Jewish-Christian baptism to confirm the forgiveness of sins and “right of passage” into the Kingdom of Heaven.

This text from the Book of James clearly indicates that the earliest Jewish Christians anointed believers with oil. What has not been clearly understood until now is how this anointing was connected with baptism and the entry into the faith. This is no longer a mystery.

In 1990, Ludwig Schneider, editor in chief of the magazine Israel Update, struck up a friendship with an old Greek Orthodox monk who lived as a hermit in the Old City of Jerusalem. On one occasion, the monk showed Schneider a cache of artifacts that he had secretly excavated on Mount Zion before the Six Day War in 1967. Scheneider was taken aback. Many of these pottery shards, oil lamps and stone pieces were engraved with an unknown symbol. The symbol consisted of a menorah on top, a Star of David in the centre and a fish at the bottom. Schneider was immediately convinced that this must have been a symbol of the first Jewish-Christian church (assembly).The monk then led Schneider to a cavity in the rock

adjacent to the Tomb of David and the Upper Room on Mount Zion, and told him that this is where he found the artifacts. Today, the cave is dark and musty and sealed off with iron bars. As legend has it, some great secrets are hidden there. Some say that according to the Dead Sea Scrolls, it is a cache of Second Temple treasures. The most popular legend is that deep within this cave lies the long lost Ark of the Covenant.As it turns out, this is the sacred baptismal grotto of the first Nazarene (Messianic) church, and the treasure hidden there was the First and Second Century artifacts (about 60 in all) found by the monk. Among these artifacts is a brick-shaped piece of local marble inscribed with the Messianic Seal and the words in ancient Aramaic: “For the Oil of the Spirit.” This seems to have been the base for a vial of anointing oil. A small pottery flask with a Messianic Seal found nearby supports this theory.In my opinion, this piece of marble came into use in the earliest Nazarene times at this baptismal site, below the church in the Upper Room established by James the Just and the Apostles. This was, of course, a perfect place for the first church, because the Upper Room is where the Holy Spirit fell upon the disciples at Pentecost. The church was located in the heart of the Essene (a strict, contemplative Jewish sect) Quarter, and was probably a Qumran-like Essene community. According to the Book of Acts, there was strict discipline and a hierarchy. It stands to reason that this group would have immediately established Nazarene ritual, including a ceremonial healing and baptismal centre where conversions were sealed by immersion in water and anointing with oil. Judging from the inscription “For the Oil of the Spirit,” the anointing was symbolic of baptism in the Holy Spirit. The Book of Acts records 3,000 conversions here on the day of Pentecost alone.I believe that James and the Apostles administered the “Oil of the Spirit” from this very stone base. That would make this piece, if my suspicions are correct, the earliest known Christian artifact. I believe that the previously discovered lamina with the same inscription was also used in this congregation.But ten years after its discovery, this historic, amazing find remains a well-kept secret. Ludwig Schneider approached the Israel Museum with the artifacts, and was promised that they would be put on display. But it never happened. It seems that the Israeli authorities do not want the mystery of the Messianic Seal to come to light.
