When I have previously written on my people, and the title has “Jews” or “Israel” in it – I have been so disappointed because the readership plummets.

I pray that this will not be the case with this article. It is SO IMPORTANT, and if you love your Jewish Messiah Yeshua – you will be blessed, and He will be blessed that you care for the Jewish people.

A sister in Christ sent this video to me this morning. Tim and I watched it together and we were both in tears – happy tears! Eitan Bar, a Messianic Israeli, is captivating. Trust me, you will not be fidgety – you will cheer Eitan and his ministry on, and you will know that Yeshua smiles upon “One for Israel!”

Three Reasons Why Jews Do Not Believe in Jesus with Eitan Bar <watch this amazing video

My Testimony

“From Jew to Completed Jew: A Testimony to the Jewish People” <click here to read my testimony

In Eitan’s video, he explains the three major reasons why the majority of Israel’s Jews do not believe in Yeshua.

• Replacement theology which leads to rabid Anti-Semitism: “God is finished with the stiff-necked Jews! Forget about them. All promises belong to the church – no longer to Israel!” Replacement Theology, which is taught in many mainline churches, but also in some Evangelical circles, has been so instrumental in Satan whispering this lie to the church: The promises once given to the Jews, are now transferred to the church because the Jews have turned their backs on God.

For those who have not previously read the article above, you may very well be shocked about Martin Luther and John Calvin. But don’t forget, these were mere men, still battling sin and hearing the whispers of the evil one.

Toward the end of Luther’s life, he thought that God gave him the ministry to save ALL of the Jewish people. He became so enraged when the Jews would not listen to him, that one day he wrote a sermon called “On the Jews and Their Lies.” This sermon caused the burning down of many synagogues and the slaughter of 2,000 Jews in one night.

If your pastor stays completely away from the book of Revelation, there is a very good chance that he is a Replacement Theology teacher. Brethren – leave that church and find one where the pastor/pastors love Israel and pray for them. Your leadership should talk about ways to reach the Jewish people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

• Dual Covenant Theology (John Hagee preaches this)

Dual Covenant Theology teaches that Jews have a separate agreement with God to come into heaven. It teaches that Jews do not need Yeshua to be saved. John Hagee has preached this for years. I shudder to think of how many of my people have gone to hell because they believed that lie. ALL JEWS must come to the Father through Jesus Christ!

Eitan Bar says that Dual Covenant Theology sends Jews to hell on a full stomach.

• Kabbalah (Talmudic) Rabbis speak against Jesus. 

The Kabbalist rabbis preach primarily from the Talmud, which is NOT the inspired Word of God. Scribes and Pharisees throughout the ages have written “commentary” attempting to explain the Torah (Old Testament) to the “commoners.” In doing this, many errors have been passed down from rabbi to rabbi and then imparted to the people. Many man-made laws have been written in the Talmud. But these rabbis insist that the words of the Talmud came to them from God.

Eitan says that just as Catholics will not speak against the pope (some do), Jews will not speak against the Rabbinic leaders of Israel. Unfortunately, most Rabbis in Israel are Kabbalists.

Please hear my heart when I tell you this: When I speak of the Talmudic rabbis of Israel, I certainly am not trying to stir up hatred for them! I am a Jew and I love my people. These men are lost and they are in darkness.

Pray for them!!

Do you remember when Jesus looked down on the Roman soldiers from the Cross, He said to His Father in heaven:

“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).

That should be the prayer of our hearts towards the lost rabbis.

Brethren, I hope that this article has helped you to understand the Jewish people a little bit better. I also hope that you see the anointing upon Eitan Bar and “One for Israel!”

Just imagine, in 1948 there were approximately 30 Jewish people in Israel who believed in Yeshua. Today, there are more than 30,000!

The Lord allowed me the privilege of leading my dad (who was raised in an Orthodox home) to the Throne of God. He repented and trusted Yeshua for his Salvation!

How Can I Be Saved?

Of all the battles that we as born-again believers fight in this world – I truly believe that knowing how to interact with our grown “Fallen-away” children has to be the toughest.

Facebook

My Facebook page is filled with Christian and Conservative content. When I write new articles on my Word Press, I post them to the page. When I’m inspired by something I have read, it gets posted to my page as well.

Also, when brothers and sisters in Christ need prayer, I will post prayer requests for them. I am very blessed to have so many prayer warriors as Facebook friends. I’ve told my husband that I see these people as an “online” church. It really is wonderful.

But it’s not so wonderful for my fallen-away children. The hurtful words flung at me because I talk so much about Jesus and also my Conservative views came to a head about a year ago. I was walking on eggshells every time I posted anything about my faith in Jesus or about politics.

I remember my parents saying to stay away from “religion” and politics when conversing with family. Many people say that. But is it fair for family members to dictate to us what we can and cannot share?

Setting Boundaries

About a year ago, I decided to make a “Family only” FB page. Our children were very open to this. Also, I blocked all of them from my main page – not to be mean, but I did not want them to be able to see my page. Blocking is the only way I knew that they would be shielded from my posts and my articles.

This has gone well, but one of our sons would still go to my Word Press and write emails to me about how wrong I was in my thinking. Now THAT really made me mad. I told our son that nobody was forcing him to view my Word Press; and if he didn’t like it – DON’T go there!

I did set rules for our home. In as loving a manner as I could, I told our children that we pray before meals and we will not tolerate hateful talk about Jesus. Our house – our rules.

If the rules are broken, and someone brings up Jesus in a derogatory manner, I figure that they have opened that door. That open door allows me to talk of my love for Jesus and that if they stay in their fallen-away state – that they will see Him one day; but I remind them of His words:

“But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:33).

They will act as if that does not bother them, but only God knows what is happening in their hearts. They were brought up to love Jesus and to know this:

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Each of our 3 children had come to me at different times in their early teens and expressed their desire to know that they were going to heaven. After talking with them to make sure that they fully understood the Gospel, I led each one to the throne of God. Each of these precious times were right after we had watched “The Jesus Film” which has an invitation to come to Christ at the end.

Preaching at the Table

The worst times with our children were when I felt that I should use our gathering together as a time of “preaching” at them. I was told by a brother in Christ that this way of acting could be more damaging than fruitful.

I was so glad to receive that correction from the brother. Our times together during holidays and just visits were so much better when I stopped preaching. It was no longer a battleground of words. It was a family loving one another.

LOVE

A reader of my articles wrote an email to me recently. She is a true sister in Christ. She poured out her heart about her daughter. They had angry words, and my sister was still upset with her.

My friend knows that I deal with this scenario, and asked me what she should do. I told her that the most important thing of all in dealing with unsaved children is to LOVE them, no matter what. I don’t mean to agree with their words, but there is a way to change the subject to something about them and the grandkids, for instance.

How can they stay angry when you are lovingly inquiring about their family?

I am not saying that we should just listen to hateful words about our Lord without responding. We always need to defend our beliefs. What I am saying is that we should pray for our children daily that God would be drawing them back as only He can.

But showing them that we love them and care about them deeply is so important.

The Fruit

Since the change in our relationships, I’ve noticed some really wonderful things. Our daughter will say to me, “I’m praying for you, mom.” Our oldest son is a classical guitar player. He and his family live 3,000 miles from us. We Skype often so that we can see the grandkids. For the last 2 Christmases, he has played “Silent Night” on his guitar. That made my heart rejoice.

Pray Pray Pray

Never stop praying for your fallen-away children! NEVER.

Although we cannot know if they will return to their First Love, God is able to reach them once again. My prayer to God is always, “Father, whatever You need to do to bring them back – please do it!”

I am not a young woman, and some of my health issues are pretty serious. I often wonder how the children will react when I’m gone. Will they picture me in heaven with our Lord?

I pray that they will, and I pray that the Lord uses that to draw them back to Him.

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom b’Yeshua
