"The Vision"

In Romans we read: 17 And if some branches were broken off, and you who are a wild olive [tree], were grafted into their place and became partakers of the root and of the oil of the olive [tree], 18 Do not boast against the [natural] branches. But if you boast, you are not bearing the root, but the root bears you! 19 And perhaps you should say of the branches that were broken off, I will be grafted in their place. 20 These [matters] are beautiful. They were broken off because they did not have trust, but you stand, by trust. Do not be exalted in your mind, but fear: 21 For if Eloah did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He will also not spare you. 22 See then the gentleness and the harshness of Eloah: upon those who fell, harshness, but upon you, gentleness, if, you remain in the gentleness. And if not, you will also be broken off. 23 And those, if they do not remain in their lack of trust, also will be grafted in: for Eloah is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you, who are from the olive [tree] that was wild by your nature, were cut off and were grafted--contrary to your nature--into the good olive [tree], how much more then, those, if they be grafted in their natural olive [tree]? (Rom. 11:17-24 HRV) Now many of you have heard and read various teachings about the wild branches being grafted into the cultivated olive tree. But we have moved onto the next stage in this prophecy, concerning the natural branches being grafted back into their own olive tree. Just a few verses above, Shaul / Powlos [Paul] writes: 11 Now I say, Have they stumbled so as to fall? Absolutely not! But in their stumbling, life has come to the Goyim; for their jealousy. 12 And if their stumbling became riches for the world, and their loss, riches to the Goyim: how much more therefore, their fullness? (Rom. 11:11-12 HRV) Our vision relates, not only to the wild branches being grafted into the cultivated olive tree, but of the natural branches being grafted into their own olive tree. Shaul / Powlos [Paul] tells us that if you thought there was a blessing in the wild branches being grafted in, just wait until you see what happens when the natural branches are grafted into their natural olive tree, to be fed by their natural root.

What is our vision? It is a vision of Yehudish [Jewish] people embracing Yehoshuah The Anointed One, not as the creator of a new and different religion from Yehudaism [Judaism], but as the Yehudish [Jewish] Anointed One of Yehudaism [Judaism]. It is a vision of Yehudish [Jewish] people sitting in a beit midrash or synagogue and studying the words of The Anointed One in the original Hebrew and Aramaic with a Yehudish [Jewish] understanding and with Yehudish [Jewish] methods of interpretation, shedding new light not only on the TaNaKh but on the ReNewed Covenant as well. Now it is important to make it clear that the Talmud itself states plainly that Talmud, the Midrashim and the Zohar are not "inspired": "Our Rabbis taught: Since the death of the last prophets, Haggai, Zekhar-YaHu [Zechariah] and Malachai, the Ruakh HaKodesh departed from Yisra-Ail [Israel]." (b.San. 11a) While these books claim no inspiration, they do however record the discussions of the Yehudish [Jewish] sages on the topics they discuss, and students should be thrilled to have the opportunity to study them in light of the words of Yehoshuah The Anointed One, giving correction and better understanding to the topics discussed therein. This is also a vision of Gentiles and Ephraimites who have a Gentile identity taking hold of the tzitzit of such Yehudeem [Jews] and saying, "I have heard that Eloheem is with you and I will go with you." (Zech. 8:23) as they head to the call to come out of Babylon and to be grafted into the House of Yehudah [Judah]. If this is also your vision, then I invite you to join us, help us keep this vision alive.
