Think on this: “Jesus must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything.”… “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and I he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, I am making everything new.” (Acts 3:21: Revelation 21:3-4)
Pray on this: Father we are eager to see what you will restore when Jesus comes. Until then, give us grace and strength to live as you have us to live, in the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name. AMEN!
Hey Jim,
What the Christians (at least the Catholics) think about Judaism, you should see what a crime they are doing to the tomb of King David.

As you said, Christianity is adopted from Judaism and our Torah, not the other way around. The least that a G-d fearing non-Jew is respect the rights of the Jews as the keeper of G-d’s laws and we need to stop these desecrations of our great King. Any help you can do is appreciated, whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated.
Christianity was and is of the Jews first. The Jews are currently living in darkness in order that we gentiles can be saved. There will be a change. God’s mercy will not stay with men forever. After the Rapture, then God will restore a heart of flesh into the Jews. During the end of the Great Tribulation then Israel will mourn for the Messiah — Jesus Christ. Jesus will then return as the absolute King of Kings and Lord of Lords. When Jesus was with the Jews some 2,000 plus years, ago; He stated, that He would not return till they recognized Jesus as their Messiah. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Many Jews will not use the name of God out of respect and fear of blasphemy. Instead, when they refer to God it is written as G-d. I will not pass judgment, but would like to make a point. When I refer to God – I am referring to God, my Heavenly Father. I currently have an earthly/biological father who has made his share of mistakes in his life. However, I am not afraid to call him “Father” or “Dad”. How much more so should I not be afraid to address my Heavenly Father as “God”. As a child of “God” that makes me royalty and I boldly enter into His presence with joy, gladness and rejoicing. We no longer live under the law and the High Priest no longer has to enter the “Holy of Holies” with fear (respect) and trembling. When the High priest entered into the Most Holy of places in the temple of God they wore a rope around their body in the event that God might strike them down dead and thus would have to be pulled out by feet first. As a born again Christian, I do not live under the law, but under grace. When Jesus died at Calvary He fulfilled the law and NOW we live under the dispensation of grace. Its by the Grace of God Almighty, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that I can now boldly come before His Holy presence, because thru the blood of Jesus that was shed for me I have been redeemed. That is I have been justified and given the legal authority to come before the presence of the Great “I AM”. Blessed be the name of the Lord!!! Shalom!
Jim – Great message! There is no doubt the ecclesia – the “congregation” of God’s called-out ones – took a left turn from the way Jesus instructed us to go and created a new religion that was quickly institutionalized. One based more on the beliefs of paganism than Scripture. But you are not suggesting we should return to practicing Judaism – even Biblical Judaism – are you?
Hallelujah! Come quickly Lord Jesus! Thanks for the great message!
Dear Jim,
I hope you are well. I was sorry to hear of your loss. I sure you are missing your beloved wife. God will continue to strengthen and bless you.
I am a Christian from N.Ireland and I knows that Israel is the apple of God’s eye. Your spot report on 3rd of June was music to my ears.
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn who I also listen to (a messianic Jew and the author of The Harbingers) also gives me hope that the future will be glorious. In these troubled times we do need hope and lots of it if we are to stand firm in our faith.
Please continue to send your posts of truth they mean so much to me.

As the old saying goes,’everything old is new again’, and so now the circle of time is coming back again to it’s origins. This Rabbi is right that in order to separate Christianity from it’s roots by some members of the early church, may The Lord forgive these early church fathers, changed the holy days and their meanings to create a less Jewish sounding congregation of faith. How very sad. Our Heavenly Father and Yeshua must have been shaking their heads in the heavenly”s as they watched this travesty unfold. Gratefully though things have come full circle and many Christians have recognized these errors and are returning to worshiping on the seventh day and celebrating the Holy days commanded in the Tenach & realizing that we are simply the wild olive branches who have been grafted in to the family of Yahweh through the Blood of The Lamb, Yeshua. Praise be to G-d!!!
PS: Greetings to Iris Kirk from a Christian born in Ireland’s South. Lived there for the first ten years of my life. Many fond memories.
Thank-you for this good word, Rev. Hutchens, The roots of our faith run deep. Yeshua always quoted from the Tanach, the rich bedrock of Biblical faith. I appreciate your clear teachings. I hope you will continue. May our Lord Yeshua give you great comfort and the continued blessing of insight into His Word and ability and willingness to share with all of us.
