THIS Is Why Jewish People REJECT Jesus as the Messiah

Transcript Search in video Introduction 0:00 and so to them you know Jesus and Hitler were on the same team what was at the core of the Jewish leader rejection of 0:07 Jesus it was jealousy he said build a precipice around the roof of your home so so little kids won't fall off the 0:14 roof and kill themselves you know break their neck the mountain starts quaking and a cosmic chaar broke through and God 0:22 SM God spoke that for a Jew to believe in Jesus is considered a very shame 0:30 thing in the Jewish Community well hey beat family Allan 0:36 back with another exciting conversation guys I don't know if I've been more excited about a conversation than the 0:42 one I have today I've got an amazing guest with me his name is Rabbi Schneider you may be familiar with their 0:49 YouTube channel discovering the Jewish Jesus along with their Ministry they're doing some amazing things and guys 0:55 listen um I am so very excited because one of the things that I think will help us become better Christians and better 1:02 students of the word of God is to be able to read and understand the word of 1:07 God from a Jewish perspective because after all Christianity emerged out of 1:14 Judaism and so um today we have someone who is a Messianic Jew which means he 1:20 was born into a Jewish Family grew up uh with Jewish roots but uh the Lord has 1:26 saved him and now he is uh preaching the word of of God As a Christian and so 1:32 we're going to bring uh him in right now uh Rabbi Schneider thank you so very much for being here with us today Alan 1:39 thank you for having me my beloved brother I want you to know I shared this with you when we first talked but I'm 1:45 also excited to be able to be with you today and for the anointings to cross pollinate and I welcome all your 1:52 audience today thank you for tuning in and listening to your friend Alan power and Rabbi Schneider discuss some things 1:58 today that I think will be really helpful and also root you and ground you even further in your faith in the gospel 2:06 amen amen guys we are going to dig in and I promise if you click off this video too soon uh you're going to miss Why Do Jews Reject Jesus As The Messiah? 2:13 out you know the Bible talks about unbelievers having their their eyes blinded from the truth right 2:20 so why why did the Jews I know this is a loaded question but why did the Jews 2:27 reject Jesus at his first coming um and still even reject him today what 2:34 were they looking for the Messiah to do that when Jesus came they said this 2:40 ain't him so the first answer is just an easy blanket answer it was part of the predetermined plan of God you know Paul 2:47 said I I I want to Enlighten you Paul said in the Book of Romans to this mystery that a partial happen uh 2:54 hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentile has come in 2:59 and then all Israel will be saved so first of all we're just going to say this is part of God's pre-ordained plan 3:05 we don't understand his ways but let me go into the practicality now of why Jews 3:11 reject Jesus the first thing that's really important to understand is that 3:16 the Pharisees the religious leaders of Jesus day rejected 3:22 him because they were jealous so I'm just going to read if I could a few scriptures here to really paint the 3:28 picture here please so I'm inan John 11 at the at the raising of Lazarus from the dead after Yeshua raised Lazarus 3:36 from the dead we read in John 11:53 so from that day on they planned together 3:43 to kill him and they said what are we doing if we let him 3:48 continue everyone's going to believe in him and we will lose the religious leader said our place and so it's really 3:56 important to understand that what was at the core of the Jewish leaders rejection of 4:01 Jesus it was jealousy it was a it was like a power struggle they were going to 4:07 lose their place because remember yeshua's pointing at them he said these guys are like whitewashed tombstones they look good on the outside but inside 4:14 they're full of Dead Man's Bones you know do as they say but not as they do so this created The Clash and here's 4:20 what happened these Pharisees of Jesus's day became the 4:26 origin of modern day rinic Judaism so 4:32 the Judaism of today is called rinic Judaism we can practice a Jews in large 4:37 measure the Judaism of the Torah we can't practice the Judaism of the word because the Judaism of the word had the 4:44 three foundations of blood sacrifices the priest who offered those 4:50 blood sacrifices and the place that they were offered which was the temple so foundationally Judaism from the tlra is 4:58 based on the the the priesthood the sacrifices and the temple that stood in 5:04 Jerusalem when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD which was a fulfillment of 5:09 yeshua's words remember the disciples asked him at the end of Matthew 23 and 24 there they said they're marveling at 5:16 the temple and Jesus said not one stone of that Temple is going to be left standing upon another because you did 5:22 not recognize the time of your visitation he said how often he said to his people I wanted to gather you 5:28 together like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings but ye would not behold 5:34 your house is being left to you desolate so when when when when the Romans came in and destroyed Jerusalem and the 5:40 temple in 70 AD that was the Fulfillment of yeshua's words his prophetic words of what would happen and when the temple 5:46 was destroyed biblical Torah based Judaism could no longer be practiced 5:52 without a temple you could offer sacrifices and without the ability to offer sacrifices there was no purpose 5:58 for the priest so the priesthood basically fell into the annals of History so in Judaism today we have no 6:05 Temple in Jerusalem where we can offer sacrifices we have no blood sacrifices that are being offered we have no 6:10 priesthood that's offering the sacrifices so what they did was in 90 ad 6:16 there was a counil called yavne and the Pharisees probably the grandchildren of 6:22 the Pharisees that called for Jesus's execution got together at this Cil and 6:28 they re invented Judaism they said we can't offer the pre 6:34 the sacrifices anymore so what do we do so what they did was they substituted 6:39 the sacrifices for Liturgy and prayer so today's Rabbi Judaism is all about 6:45 liturgy and prayer and uh included in that mindset of Rabbi Judaism is an anti- Yeshua 6:53 mindset actually part of the Liturgy that was added during this time of the formation of Rabbi Judaism around 98 was 7:00 a curse against sectarians and many historians believe 7:05 that this curse was specifically added to drive any Jew that believed in Yeshua 7:10 out of the synagogue during we're talking you know you know 100 AD so Jews 7:17 that believed in Jesus were driven out of the synagogue going back 2,000 years so this same anti- Jesus mindset that 7:24 the Pharisees that killed Jesus had because they were jealous was passed on to the Pharisees that invented Rabin 7:31 Judaism in 90 ad which is the foundation of Orthodox Judaism or religious Judaism 7:37 today so within religious Judaism today there's a mindset that every Jew picks 7:42 up by asmosis and that is that Jews don't believe in Jesus and not only do 7:48 we not believe in him but any Jew that would believe in him is really really 7:54 frowned upon and discarded and it all goes back to these Pharisees and why did 7:59 they reject him because they were jealous that's an interesting phenomenon to realize most Jews today they never 8:06 they don't they don't have the opportunity to think this through they never read the gospels they don't know the history all they know is they were 8:13 racist Jews and Jews aren't supposed to reject Jesus and they have a sense that to believe in him is a shameful shameful 8:19 thing but they have no understanding of why they've just picked it up growing up in a Jewish environment in addition to 8:25 the religious Jews rejecting Yeshua because they were jealous there were theological reasons for example they had 8:31 a hard time that God could be incarnate that God could present himself in human form so that was a theological problem 8:38 they also beli that there were two laws they believe that there were the Ten Commandments that God gave Moses but 8:44 then they believe that God also gave to Moses all types of other regulations and 8:50 laws that he didn't write down but were communicated orally and this is where we 8:55 get some of these laws about Shabbat from so there's a number of different reasons that the Jewish people have that 9:01 they've rejected Jesus and I wrote a book called Lion of Judah and I go through all of that there I just wanted 9:06 to throw that out there so I just don't say one thing and someone to say well what about this this and this and this there is more but there are so many 9:13 things to cover today I don't have time to go through all the reasons that the Jewish people have rejected Jesus but simply to say there are some theological 9:19 issues that I you know I work through um in some of my writings wow wow man that How Do Jews Atone For Their Sins Without Sacrificing Animals? 9:24 was deep that was that that's the type of stuff I like to dig into that that was deep so that's funny one of the 9:30 questions that I had that you already answered just through by allowing the spirit to lead you was about the 9:35 sacrifices right so um I had the pleasure of going over to uh the Holy Land in 2022 November for the first time 9:43 ever I've only been once my wife and I both went along with a whole bunch of other people was a one of the best 10day 9:49 trips of my life just seeing the Holy Land I know you've been there many many times I'm sure but um you know we we we 9:57 experienced a Shabbat dinner with a jewi family um you know and obviously we knew 10:02 that there were no sacrifices but that's a question that I've always wondered is well hey if the Jewish people have 10:08 always relied on sacrifices for being atoned uh I believe 10:14 yam kapor right is the day of atonement uh I I'm assuming that's that's correct 10:19 but you know if if that's how they um um attone for their sins then how do they 10:26 really how can you just come and redefine it and just say well now we're going to get atoned in a different way 10:31 when the Torah the Bible or not the Bible excuse me the the their Jewish law 10:36 states that um that you have to offer these sacrifices in order to be forgiven or atoned for your sin that was a 10:43 question I've always wondered right right right yes thank you Ellen well educated Orthodox Jews because most Jews 10:51 don't even they don't know the toas so they don't even know that the the the 10:56 center of the day of atonement Yom Kor was about a blood sacrifice and the Lord said in Leviticus 17:11 for the life of 11:03 the flesh is in the blood and have given it to you on the altar to make an atonement for your soul for it's the 11:09 blood by reason of it's life that makes atonement but most Jews don't know that okay they're just raised it's mostly 11:15 cultural so they wouldn't even know enough to be aware that biblically 11:20 speaking atone sin is atoned for through the blood I mean I could go through the you know Torah and show this you know 11:27 from beginning to end it's just Foundation that's why I have such faith in Jesus you know it's his blood is the 11:32 answer there is no other sacrifice but the um what they believe what Orthodox Jews would say in direct answer to your 11:39 question those that are educated they would say well there they would point to a verse that says um um uh a sacrifice 11:46 burnt offerings and sacrifice I have not desired but a broken heart and a 11:51 contrite spirit so they would say it's not important that we don't have a sacrifice because we have a broken heart 11:57 and a contrite spirit and were saying these prayers M Psalm 51 so that's what they that's what they're ex that's what 12:04 they would say and let me let me share this that if I could just a couple little tidbits that are not directly 12:10 related but I think are important number one there you went to that beautiful Shabbat dinner you probably really 12:15 enjoyed it and felt the beauty of it is that true absolutely absolutely yeah Why The Sabbath Should Still Be Observed Today 12:21 yeah I mean now I will say this I was I was very surprised um at how strict the 12:29 they I don't want to get you off of your your thoughts but I was very surprised of how strict they they adhere to Judaism and so guys just so you know 12:36 like um whenever I was in this home I noticed that uh let me see if I can 12:41 remember I noticed that they had like um some sort of tape that they would put on 12:48 the uh the refrigerator door to make sure that when they opened up the 12:54 refrigerator door that the light wasn't coming on and off because if they did 13:00 that that would be considered work um like so they taped and I think everybody 13:05 knows this you have a refrigerator you open up the refrigerator the light goes on you close the refrigerator the light goes off they were taking it so 13:12 seriously that they put tape on the little lever that would cause the light to go on and off on your refrigerator so 13:19 that I guess it would always stay on and so when they open up the refrigerator door it would be on and when it closed 13:25 it it would be on because if they're turning the lights on and off that was considered work and I was like wow I'd 13:31 always heard that you know they they took the the Sabbath seriously but but 13:36 this goes to the extreme once again when Jesus came he was like this isn't what 13:42 my father intended in terms of rest and Sabbath like you all are making up laws that are not even in your own um Torah 13:50 so um am I correct in that I mean some of the things that I saw there yeah yeah Absol absolutely yeah they um because 13:57 that would be against the command to make a fire oh on Shabbat so electricity would be making fire but there's many 14:04 examples like the one that you're describing so let me say in goodness and kindness to to my people to to my people 14:11 that there's something really admirable about about the seriousness to 14:17 which they take particularly Alan as you're saying about chabbat there's something beautiful about it and there's 14:23 something to be gained yes by receiving you know God's gift to mankind of having 14:29 a day where there truly is complete rest and you safeguard that day by doing all these things many of which are almost 14:35 comical for example they'll pre-cut their toilet paper because one of the what they did 14:41 was the Lord said um you know the Shabbat you shall not do any work so we would ask the question well what's work 14:49 you know I know I'm not supposed to work but what's work and so what they did is they recognized that they had to stop 14:54 building the Tabernacle on Shabbat so then they said okay well what kind of work went into the Tabernacle building 15:00 and so they came up with 39 different categories of work that went into building the Tabernacle and they and 15:06 they outlawed those 39 categories of work on Shabbat to this day one of the categories was tearing because they were 15:13 tearing you know skins and fabrics and so on when they built the Tabernacle so they took that and they now apply that 15:19 to like you can't tear the toilet paper because there's no tearing on shat so some of them seem you know almost 15:25 hilarious but I want to not laugh because you know what it's a beautiful 15:31 thing to have a day that's so protected from any type of work yes but here's the 15:38 thing there is a special Beauty and anointing on the religious Jewish people 15:45 today that don't believe in Jesus it's the anointing Allen that came upon the 15:50 Jewish people at Mount Si it's the same anointing as there but unfortunately it's kind of like if I'm 15:57 in Florida and I want to take a trip to let's say 16:03 um British Columbia and I have a connecting flight in Atlanta so I'm going from Florida to British Columbia 16:10 with the connecting flight in Atlanta I get on the plane in Florida I have a layover in Atlanta to get my next flight 16:18 to to British Columbia is that what I said British Columbia y then I miss that connecting flight it's like you know you 16:25 made some progress but you didn't arrive at the the final arrival so that that's 16:31 how you understand like the beauty that's on the Jewish people it's there it's real there's something we should glean from them and appreciate even 16:38 though some of it is is is a little comical like what we're talking about now but still I don't I don't want to poooo that because I think Christians 16:45 need more discipline in their lives yes yes it was a beautiful thing when we 16:51 arrived in uh in Israel on uh Shabbat we 16:57 got there on Shabbat on a Friday Frid evening and all of us were shocked that 17:02 the it's like the land was desolate like there was no cars there was no no that 17:07 mean like businesses were closed everything was like lights were off and we were wondering is this a ghost town 17:13 because there was no driving other than like the tourist bus and stuff like that and there was nobody out and our tour 17:19 guide explain yeah you know and we we were so tired from our journey we didn't even remember what day it was and they were like yeah that's because Shabbat 17:26 just just uh just began and so you know people are at home you know visiting with their family and I tell you my wife 17:32 and I uh Rabbi after after that trip we came back to the States and we said you 17:38 know what we aren't going to observe it to that obviously that scrutiny but we are going to establish a Shabbat day for 17:44 our family and since then Fridays have been our day where we take off from work 17:50 I don't work um and I tell you what it it is really truly what God Said in the Old Testament 17:57 about do you trust me enough to work six days and take one day off do you trust 18:04 that I can do more with those six days than you can with working with SE for seven days do you trust me in that and I 18:11 can tell you I've had to trust God in that because you know there's times when I'm like God you know what I'm trying to take Saturday and Sunday off for my 18:17 family so I can be present for my family and now my wife and you know she she's like hey let's take this Friday off as 18:24 well so we can have more time to ourselves and I don't want you to work cuz you will work and it's like so now 18:29 I've got like a 4-day work week and I'm like Lord can I trust you for me to work four days for you to provide for our 18:35 family when most other guys I know that are hustling they're working five six seven days but it's that faith and that 18:43 trust beautiful brother the principle of the Sabbath and the presence of God and 18:49 what you just said hit it on the head it's like what are the principles of the Sabbath that we can apply to our lives 18:55 today as followers of Yeshua as followers of Jesus so that we can receive the gift because Jesus said the 19:01 Sabbath uh that man was not made for the Sabbath Jesus said but the Sabbath was 19:07 made for man it's a free gift and it's a time to disconnect we have six days to 19:13 work but the seven day is a day to disconnect from that to rest to stop 19:18 being a human doer to just being a human being you know God created in six days 19:25 but but most most believers they just say that's all the law you know there's 19:30 no relevancy for that so they're working like you said 70 days a week they're on their phone 7 days a week they're 19:35 connected to technology seven days a week and they really never stop and it 19:41 really is to our own detriment because it will wear us down and break us and God has a remedy and that is to 19:49 repesent himself to us once a week as we take time just to sit before him and 19:55 wait on him and put those boundaries those edges around our life that we don't let anything in that's going to 20:02 disturb us from just being a human being to receive God's presence and to be What Parts Of The Old Testament Should Christians Observe Today? 20:07 refreshed man I tell you what I love I love where this conversation going because as I'm as I'm talking you I'm 20:13 getting other ideas and things so uh we're going to go off script a little bit and I know you're good with that the 20:18 spirit's leading us um but um I know a question that my viewers have asked 20:24 again and again and uh I think it would be helpful is how can we as New 20:30 Testament Christians distinguish what parts of the Old Testament that we still 20:35 need to observe and which parts of the Old Testament are have been fulfilled in 20:41 Christ and we no longer need to observe them because um you know this is something that people question and 20:47 wrestle with they say well you know when the Bible says this in the Old Testament how am I supposed to know uh you know I 20:54 shouldn't trim the parts of my beard or I shouldn't make marks on my body tattoo marks which I you know obviously um I I 21:02 I believe that it's not really tattoo marks it's cutting making marks cutting for the dead and things like that but 21:07 but once again people see that stuff mixing different garments and stuff like that so how can we as New Testament 21:14 Christians make a distinction and say okay when I read the Old Testament this is how I'm able to filter out um you 21:22 know I think you know where I'm going we look at the Old Testament as you're saying alen we say we believe the entire 21:28 word of God so if we believe the entire word of God what part of the Old Testament is relevant for us today as Christians so 21:35 basically when you look at the law when you look at the law that God gave to Moses the law is um there are several 21:43 different uh dimensions of the law for example you have laws that pertained to 21:49 Israel only when they were living in the land of Israel under a king so obviously 21:55 those laws don't apply anymore where the Jewish people are not living under a king in Israel the King David is not 22:01 there right King Solomon is not there so those laws no longer apply there are also laws that involve sacrifices but 22:09 there are no sacrifices taking place anymore so those laws don't any longer apply then there are laws specifically 22:16 towards men then there are laws specifically towards Israelites or Jews and then there are other laws that 22:23 we call moral laws and it's those moral laws that we really want to focus on and 22:28 teach remember Jesus said do not think I've come to abolish the law and the prophets I've not come to abolish but to 22:35 fulfill or to fill full so what portion of the law is applicable for believers 22:43 that are following Jesus and being led by the spirit today and that's what we really want to hone in on as Christians 22:50 so for example uh there's so many different examples of this one of them alen that we talked about was Shabbat 22:55 there are principles of the Sabbath that I believe Christians can apply to our their life not because they're under 23:01 legalism of be but or because they're under the law but it's an opportunity for spiritual blessing I think of an 23:06 interesting verse where the Lord said in the Torah to the Jewish people the Israelites to build a 23:12 precipice which is like a little fence to build a precipice around the roof of 23:18 their home so you ask why would the Lord say that and does that have any application for me today well the reason 23:25 that he said it was because they lived in homes with flat roofs and they entertained on the roof so there were 23:30 little kids running around on the roof and everything else so God it shows how 23:35 comp personal and compassionate he is because he was so involved in in their in their lives he said build a precipice 23:43 around the roof of your home so so little kids won't fall off the roof and kill themselves you know break their 23:48 neck so we ask oursel well should we do that today well I mean I don't know where you 23:54 live some subdivisions they're not going to let you build a precipice around the roof of your home but perhaps an application would be like if you live 24:01 where there where it snows and gets icy and you have like a mailman or somebody that you know is going to be walking up 24:06 to your front door put salt down on your steps and Safeguard your property so 24:11 that's what we're looking for in fact I'm working on a book right now called a ancient wisdom for a modern world where 24:18 I'm taking the laws of the Torah that have application for believers today wow I'm getting that 24:25 book okay yeah so so guys looking at looking at what I call Timeless truths the different principles that uh we can 24:32 extract from the Old Testament I've even talked I've even heard people break it down like there's a moral law ceremonial 24:38 law civil law and you know the moral law obviously stands because many of those were repeated in the New Testament with 24:44 Jesus and um Thou shalt not murder and different things like that so they were repeated again um adultery things of 24:50 that nature uh but things involving circumcision you know you look at the New Testament you know Jesus say it's 24:56 your heart that needs to be circumcised not just your flesh and things of that nature and so um now uh I'm I'm throwing What's The Difference Between Hebrews, Israelites, And Jews? 25:03 a whole bunch of stuff at you man hopefully you have time but um um okay so you you you mentioned something and 25:09 this is a question that recently came up in our community um we throw these terms 25:15 around Jews Israelites Hebrews we just throw them around interchangeably but I 25:20 remember doing a study a while back and there is a difference between the three can you just maybe if you could kind of 25:27 uh help our listen ERS understand um the nuances between Jews Hebrews and 25:33 Israelites and whether we can just throw them all together and just say well they all mean the same thing or or they they 25:39 all kind of came from um you know kind have have a different kind of starting 25:44 point okay very good question so let's begin with the word Hebrews because this is the first term that God gave what we 25:50 would consider to be today the nation of Israel so the word Hebrews the Hebrews 25:55 carries with the idea of those that crossed over so the Hebrews crossed over the Red Sea 26:02 they crossed over out of Egypt into the promised land so we have first of all 26:08 the biggest most um comprehensive term which would be the Hebrews the whole 26:13 nation that was delivered out of Egypt being called the Hebrews then God uh 26:19 gives them a covenant and the through Moses the Mosaic Covenant and brings them into the 26:25 land of Israel and so now what we have is the nation of Israel and the Israelites even though in the Hebrew 26:31 Bible they were still called Israelites in different ways but I would say most generally as the children of Israel 26:37 received the Mosaic law were brought into the land at this point we refer to them as Israelites they're living under 26:43 a monarchy there and then what happened was the uh the is Israel in the land uh 26:52 was not living according to God's covenant that he made with them through 26:57 Moses and in order to live in Israel in peace they had to live according to the 27:02 Covenant it was a conditional Covenant that God made with Moses and because they weren't living in obedience the 27:09 Lord brought nations in and drove them out and Scattered them to the Nations 27:15 and this is called the diaspora we see for example uh in the Babylonian diaspora we see when the Romans came in 27:21 in 70 AD and they were again dispersed to the Nations but what happened was by 27:26 the time that Jesus was had arrived on the scene all the tribes of Israel had 27:33 been dispersed out of the land of Israel due to Disobedience except for the tribe 27:38 of Judah which is where we get the term Jew from and Benjamin the smaller tribe and 27:45 so by the time Jesus is ministering he's ministering to the tribe of Judah which were known as Jews and so uh today we 27:53 just refer to the Jewish people as Jews uh but when you if you would take into account you know that we've got 10 lost 27:59 tribes you know if we brought all the tribes together they would then be Israel does that make sense yes yes yes 28:07 yes you're starting off with with with the with the largest denomination which is Hebrews yes and then you're kind of 28:13 zeroing a little bit uh the people that were in the land of Israel and then obviously the people who returned after 28:19 the diaspora and and or the Jews uh the tribe of Judah which was the larger of 28:25 the two tribes and then Benjamin was a smaller and then when Jesus came uh the people that he was ministering to were 28:32 uh Jews so uh that makes sense okay perfect perfect okay so a few other a What Are Modern Jews Looking For In A Messiah Today? 28:37 few other questions here um this is probably another loaded one 28:42 but in terms of um Jews so they are they 28:48 obviously do believe in a messiah based on the Old Testament but 28:53 what are they looking for out of a messiah today because they don't believe 28:58 that Jesus in his first coming clearly was the Messiah but they do understand 29:05 as we know this Messianic hope that was present even when Christ came they believed that a messiah was going to 29:12 come and restore Israel and and do these different things but what what's 29:17 precisely are they looking for this future Messiah because they've missed Christ as the Messiah what are they 29:23 looking for this future Messiah to do and who do they expect or an him to 29:29 be very good so I'm going to give two answers and both are very I think important so let me first of all answer 29:36 from the religious perspective so you have a minority of Jewish people today that are quote religious that are 29:43 committed to the Torah that are committed to the form of spirituality 29:49 that is derived from the Torah those Jews are looking for a messiah to come 29:55 that will restore Israel to keep keeping the Torah which will in in turn bring 30:01 blessing to the entire world and to also bring peace and Harmony to the Earth and 30:08 this peace and Harmony involves Gentiles keeping what are called the noahide laws 30:15 there are certain laws that religious Jews believe that Gentiles are commanded to keep real simple things like not 30:21 drinking blood not killing things like this or like so so the noahide laws but they're looking for a messiah to come 30:28 they're not believing he's going to be God In the Flesh they believe that a potential 30:33 Messiah is born every generation that right now alen they believe that there's a messiah in the world a potential 30:40 messiah in the world that will be revealed when there's enough Jews that are keeping the Torah oh and again he's 30:47 just going to be a man but he's going to be used of the Lord to restore Israel to Torah observance to usher in an age of 30:55 Peace they're looking for an age of Peace the line will lay down with the lamb and that the world will be you know 31:01 in a place of Harmony and the Jewish people uh the Israel will be exalted you know above above the Earth you know as 31:07 as as the as the instrument through which God brings blessing to the world through now that is true of religious 31:14 Judaism but it's really important for our listeners to understand this it's very important I can't even stress this 31:20 enough because many of our listeners today they know Jewish people and many of you I'm speaking to our audience 31:26 right now that know Jewish people you have not shared your faith in Jesus with them because in the back of your mind 31:33 you're intimidated because you're thinking they're the chosen people they're the 31:39 Jewish people who am I you're you're maybe thinking to share my faith with 31:45 God's chosen people the Jewish people I want to try to maybe alter your 31:51 perception a bit of that with this first of all first of all Paul that wrote most of the New Testament he said about the 31:57 Jewish people unless they believe they're not going to be saved Paul said I would give 32:02 my own life for the sake of my brethren the Israelites according to the flesh if they could be saved so Paul believed 32:10 that Jewish people needed Yeshua Jesus said to the Jewish people unless you 32:16 believe that I am he you will not be saved you will die in your sins he said 32:21 so Gentile listener right now if you're a gentile but listener you need to understand that when you're ministering to a Jew or you have a Jewish friend 32:28 it's important for you to share your faith and you can't be intimidated by them because some of you know the word 32:35 of God better than them in fact if you know the word of God if you've been in a Bible study for any length of time you 32:42 know if you been if you're if you read the Bible every day even a little bit you know the Bible better than most Jewish people I'm talking about the 32:48 Torah really okay but here's where I I wanted to go with this what are Jewish people looking for when they when 32:55 they're looking for the Messiah religious Jews I've explained what they're looking for but hear me most 33:01 Jews the vast majority are not religious so even though they might give 33:06 you know lip service yeah we're looking for the Messiah to come we don't believe in Jesus we're looking for a messiah to 33:12 come they have no idea what they're looking for they don't think about the Messiah coming they're not thinking 33:18 about it they're secular Jews they're not thinking about a messiah religious 33:23 Jews are but most Jews are not religious they're secular so they might give lip Serv to it at Passover you know we're 33:30 looking for the second Redeemer but they're not looking for a messiah they're part they're part of the world 33:36 and that's why it's so important for us to be the light we're called to be because God's way of reaching Jewish people is through the Gentiles Paul said 33:43 I magnify my Ministry to the Gentiles that through them I'll reach my own countrymen wow that that is that is this How Did Jesus Fulfill ALL Of The Jewish Feasts? 33:51 is this is blowing my mind this is this is some good stuff guys I hope you all are appreciating the wisdom uh that we 33:57 are receiving today I I really do and I hope and pray that you you not just appreciate it but you go support their 34:03 Ministry uh and you know financially even as well I hope you I hope you you do be a blessing to them um uh another 34:12 question that just little qu questions keep coming to my mind so um you know as 34:17 we as we as we talk about about Christ and them missing Christ um when we look 34:24 at some of the Jewish feasts in the Old Testament and um what are some ways that 34:30 now this get gets into my my Lane as far as things I enjoy you know studying the word and as as a as a gentile Christian 34:39 what are some things we can um how can we put on our Jewish lenses and read the Bible from a Jewish 34:47 perspective when we didn't grow up Jewish like you did so um I know off camera we talked a little bit about how 34:53 um you know looking at the Jewish feasts would be one example and how Christ how 34:59 can we see Christ back into these feasts uh this isn't never this isn't something I've studied in any way so whatever you 35:05 share is is going to be new for me as well but but but but um talk to me a little bit about how Jesus is the 35:11 Fulfillment of those and what are the feasts what what what are they thank you thank you well God is using you right 35:17 now because you're reaching an audience and it's fairly new what we're talking about to some of the people probably 35:23 that you're reaching and to give an idea for our for our viewers today for my beloved friends is let's think about 35:31 about why we should have an appetite to understand our faith in Yeshua in Jesus 35:36 from a Jewish perspective let's just talk about why this might be important for us first of all we should consider 35:42 that when when Yeshua was baptized by John the Baptist John pointed at him and 35:47 said Behold the Lamb of God now many of us have probably not really been struck 35:54 by that just like we read it and we go on we don't really know what that exact l means maybe we even feel like oh Jesus 36:00 is just really nice and warm and fuzzy and you know like an T stuffed animal just know you know but what what John 36:05 was actually doing there he was pointing to the Passover Lamb in fact 20 over 24 36:12 times in the Book of Revelation Yeshua is referred or alluded to as the lamb 36:17 he's the Lamb of God that you know everyone follows the lamb wherever he goes it's the Lamb's Book of Life Yeshua 36:24 is the Fulfillment of Passover and according to John's gospel Jesus was 36:31 crucified on Passover Paul said in his writing that Christ has become our 36:41 Passover which is a Crown Jewel of the Jewish feast now think about this to to make a point that really going to ignite 36:48 a new fire and and a lot of our listeners right now to really give you it's like some for some people have 36:53 explained it they almost feel like they're born again when they start discovering this stuff not that you can compare being born again to this but 36:59 their faith is so reignited they become so excited to be learning something new but everything Jesus did at his first 37:07 coming he did in connection with God's appointed times which we might call the 37:12 Jewish holidays but they're not just Jewish holidays you know whether we're talking about Yom kipor rashash Shana 37:19 Passover shavua which is Pentecost Tabernacle soot these are not just Jewish holidays the Bible doesn't call 37:26 them Jewish holidays days the Bible calls them God's appointed days so 37:33 they're not Jewish holy days first they're God's appointed days and everything Yeshua did in his first 37:40 coming he did in direct connection to these appointed days so think about it he was crucified on Passover John the 37:49 Baptist introduced him as the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world then he was buried on the on on the 37:55 feast that comes immediately after pass we called unleavened bread and unleavened bread is tied to the fact 38:03 that when God delivered Israel out of Egypt he said to Moses when you hear my voice he was saying to Israel when you 38:09 hear my voice on the night of your deliverance tonight he said you obey me 38:15 immediately and do not wait for the bread to rise you come out of Egypt with your bread unleavened you don't wait for 38:22 it to be convenient I'm demanding instant and complete obedience I've never understood that so think about 38:28 yeah and and and so and so here's Yeshua he is the model of comp perfect of 38:35 perfect complete instant obedience and he's buried during the 38:40 Feast of unleavened bread then the next feast and these are all outlined in the 23rd chapter of The Book of Leviticus 38:47 the next feast day is called the Feast of first fruits and what happened during 38:54 the Feast of first fruits was it was a spring holy day and you think about the kind of the 38:59 symbolism here in the winter the ground looks all dead and you know you know there's not the flowers that we have in 39:05 the spring there's not the fruit that we have in the spring I mean I'm in the midwest so it's gloomy it's gray in the 39:11 winter it's you know it just looks it's it's terrible feeling you know yeah rainy gloomy cloudy gray and uh but all 39:20 of a sudden in the spring it's like that Earth that looked dead in the winter all 39:26 of a sudden the least start coming out of the trees the flowers start popping the fruit starts coming and it's like 39:32 that dead Earth has been raised to life so unleavened bread histor I'm sorry first fruits 39:40 historically is when the Harvest came up in the spring for the Israelite farmer 39:46 the Israelite farmer would take the first sheath of the field of the new crop that came forth from the earth that 39:52 looked dead just a few months ago he took the first of that new life that dead Earth raised to life he brought it 39:59 to the priest the priest took that sheath of the Harvest that first sheath of the Harvest he waved it before the 40:05 Lord on the half of that Israelite Farmer's entire Harvest and when that 40:11 sheep was way before the Lord by the priest the Lord then accepted that Farmer's entire Harvest as being 40:18 Sanctified that Feast the Feast of UNL the Feast of first fruits rather it took 40:24 place on the day after the Sabbath of Passover of that 40:32 first Passover so dead Earth comes to life the feast happens on the day after the Sabbath 40:39 immediately following Passover so what day is the Sabbath 40:44 Saturday what day comes after Saturday Sunday what day did Yeshua rise from the 40:50 dead Sunday just like the dead Earth came to life Yeshua comes to life the first born of those risen from the dead 40:56 wow okay so that's that's three right that's that's uh that's Passover he fulf he was 41:04 the Fulfillment of the Passover he was the Fulfillment of unleavened bread he 41:09 was the Fulfillment of the first fruits are there any others that he 41:15 fulfilled yes yes and as we move on to the next one I should say that even as when that Israelite farmer took his 41:22 chief to the priest and the priest wave it before the Lord and the whole rest of the Harvest was EX accepted them the 41:28 second fruit the third fruit the fourth fruit all of the rest of the Harvest so too Yeshua our priest ascended to the Lord I 41:36 see where you're going on our behalf the Lord accepts his offering his sacrifice his own body and as a result of the Lord 41:42 accepting the first fruit the entire Harvest is accepted you me and all the others that are part of his body wow 41:50 amen deep that was deep yeah and here's the next one alen if anybody has any doubt like oh is 41:57 Rabbi shander just kind of weaving the stuff together is he just judaizing us is this really relevant for me maybe 42:03 there's even some hostility of but if you when you when I share with you the next one here you're gonna you're going to scratch your head and you're going to 42:09 say there's something to this it's undeniable that you she was crucified John 19 during Passover okay the others 42:17 are also you can find these out they're in the word but the next one I'm going to share with you is so black and white I don't know how you could miss this so 42:24 we go to Acts chapter 2 what's going on Acts chapter 2 the Believers are 42:29 gathered in what we call the upper room and they were celebrating Pentecost now 42:35 we often times think of Pentecost as like a new testament holiday like we celebrate Pentecost as the giving of the 42:41 spirit and we kind of think that's Pentecost the giving of the spirit but what we don't understand sometimes is 42:47 that those Jews in the upper room in Acts 2 they had already been celebrating this day for500 years before Acts 2 was 42:56 written so when they're gathered together because the day of Pentecost had come 43:02 this is something that they had been doing every year for 1500 years the word Pentecost is the Greek word for 43:09 50 and it takes place we read about it in the Torah 50 days after Passover so 43:15 Pentecost 50 because this feast day is outlined in the Torah takes place 50 days after Passover in Judaism we call 43:22 it Shavuot which just means weeks because it took place seven weeks in a day after Passover so they're together 43:28 in the upper room gathered together to celebrate shavuo Pentecost just like they had been doing for 1500 years 43:35 previously and they're thinking about how God gave them the Ten Commandments 43:41 at Mount Si because according to Jewish tradition the lord gave Moses and the 43:47 children of Israel The Ten Commandments during Shavuot so while they're in the upper room thinking about this suddenly 43:54 the same God that appeared at Mount in Fire and glory and smoke and wind giving 44:01 them the Ten Commandments suddenly the same God Appears again in the upper room 44:06 as a tongue of fire the room Quakes the wind comes and rather than giving them laws on tablets of stone he writes it in 44:13 their heart in fulfillment of Jeremiah and ezekiel's prophecy how can you deny that God is not connected to the Jewish 44:20 holy days when it's it's I mean it's undeniable wow I'm talking about Jesus 44:28 Yeshua and his ministry connected to the Jewish holidays yeah and obviously the coming of the holy spirit because Jesus 44:33 did say he said I can't be with you but I'm going to send the comforter and he will be with you uh in my place and so 44:41 obviously Jesus's fulfillment of of uh the day of Pentecost in uh issuing in 44:46 the the coming of the Holy Spirit as well um so what what about rash hasana 44:52 that's that is a holiday I'm not or appointed day should I say that I'm not 44:57 too familiar with what what is that well rashash Shana it means um that is for 45:03 Hebrew it means head of the year so Rush means head and hashana the year in 45:10 Hebrew Judaism believes that it was on Russia Shana that God created the world 45:15 and Mankind and so Russia Shana in traditional Judaism today is celebrated 45:22 as as the Jewish New Year even though biblically I don't see a press for that 45:27 but this is this is the way Judaism is involved traditionally but what we do 45:33 know is that what is referred to as Russia Shana is more biblically referred to as yam turua or the day of trumpets 45:42 as we read about it in the Book of Leviticus chapter 23 and what happened was on on rashash 45:48 Shana which is more again accurately described as the Feast of trumpets yum meaning day to Rua the blowing of the 45:55 trumpets is that the the trumpet would blow and um it is a to me what yam turua 46:04 is is a a a reminder every year for us as Believers in Yeshua that once again 46:10 the trumpet is going to blow and God is going to reveal himself to the world you see at Russia sha it uh the the the 46:19 concept is is that the Creator is going to reveal himself to 46:25 the world that he created and it's going to begin with the blowing of a chauffeur 46:31 let me back up and and and say it this way in the Torah when we're reading about rashash Shan or yam turua what we 46:38 read is it's that it's on a specific day of the year and that on this day we blow 46:44 the chofar and the chofar is to serve as a [Music] 46:49 reminder and we ask ourself well what's it to remind us of what would what it 46:55 doesn't even tell us why there's very little information that you blow the Schaar as a 47:00 reminder this is what Russia sh is about that's why Russia sh is associated with the blowing of the Shar in the synagogue 47:06 but you know ask what would it remind us of well the most outstanding and profound blowing of the shelfar we have 47:13 recorded in the word of God is at Mount Si when the Creator revealed himself to Israel they're standing at the base of 47:19 the mountain 3 to six million Jews the entire nation and all the Sun 47:28 the mountain starts quaking and a cosmic 47:33 chaar Divine schaffar St sounding from Heaven and the chaar from Heaven grew 47:39 louder and louder and louder and louder and louder and then it broke through and God SM God spoke and so the entrance of 47:48 the kingdom of God into the world and the creator of revealing of himself was introduced with the 47:54 chaar the chofar sounded preached a climax and then God spoke so when we 47:59 celebrate Russia Shana each year as Believers and I do this you know where you know I've LED conferences every year 48:05 during this time it's our most well attended conference in the past we're celebrating the return of Jesus that the 48:11 Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with the sound of the chaar and then the Lord will descend and 48:18 then we're going to arise and meet him in the air so even as the first even as yeshua's first coming was tied to the 48:25 spring holy day we believe the fall holy days are connected to a second coming beginning 48:31 with his return at rashash Shana okay okay so so if I can understand this so 48:38 Ros rash hasana has its roots in God 48:45 Yahweh the Jewish god revealing himself coming in his revealing his kingdom 48:51 coming with a loud you know chofar on was it Exodus 32 uh on the mountain as 48:59 he revealed himself to Moses uh well in in the as they were in the uh uh 49:05 Wilderness and so in in a sense we could say that Jesus has not yet 49:11 fulfilled uh rash has rash hasana uh yet because we are looking for 49:18 him to be the Fulfillment since he's already fulfilled all the other Jewish feasts and and and uh appointed days 49:26 then he he will be fulfilling that in his second coming because Paul talks 49:31 about you know at the coming of Christ there'll be a trumpet that sounds he will 49:36 descend uh and so am I understanding that am I understanding that correctly 49:42 exactly that is my understanding completely yep okay awesome Yep so the spring holy days are for his first 49:48 coming then the fall holy days that go from Russia Shana the Lord will descend from heaven with the voice of the Angel 49:54 the Trump shall sound and then it proceeds to Yom kipor which takes place 50:00 10 days after Russia Shana usually Falls around the month of September October and um we believe that Yom kipor 50:09 the day of atonement will be fully fulfilled when Yeshua returns and the Jewish Nation receives him like 50:16 Zachariah says they will look upon him with a pierced and they will mourn for him as One Mourns from for an only 50:21 begotten son and Paul describes the book of Romans and then all Israel will be saved and so we believe the fullness of 50:28 Yom kipor the salvation of the first Covenant people will be fulfilled right 50:33 you know as Yeshua appears in the sky and Jewish people see him and receive him okay all right so 50:40 guys your mind is probably blown like mine I I can't take anymore this this this is so good guys listen I had Preview of Part 2 with Rabbi Schneider? 50:47 planned to have Rabbi discuss um the 50:53 Hebrew names of God in the Old Testament but clearly I'm just such a nerd I'm just wanting to get everything out of 50:58 this man and poor man has been with us for about an hour and a half now so guys let me know in the comments section if 51:04 you want us to do a part two at some point in the future where we just focus 51:09 on a couple of Concepts one of which being um uh letting uh Rabbi really 51:15 stretch out and spend maybe 30 45 minutes however much time is necessary to really help us understand the Jewish 51:21 roots behind the names of God and how we can understand and apply those if you 51:27 want to see that type of video for those of you who are still around at this point in the video hopefully you are and 51:32 you enjoyed this let me know in the comment section below and robab I don't want to put you on the spot but

of God we didn't get to that today I want to respect your time but uh I think that 51:51 would be an exciting conversation brother I love you alen I'd be happy to uh to come back I enjoy 51:57 getting a chance God willing to continue to to cross partner with you I I really do love you brother thank you for having 52:02 me on my friend thank you very much and and and and before we leave um tell us How To Support Discovering The Jewish Jesus 52:09 very importantly man you have a wealth of knowledge you've got books you do conferences you've got a a a YouTube 52:15 channel you've got a website you're speaking uh you've got resources I'm sure can you just spend you know a few 52:22 minutes telling our audience how they can get equipped how they can discover the Jewish Jesus how can they start to 52:29 read the Bible from a Jewish perspective and what are uh how we can appreciate the the beauty of the Jewish culture but 52:36 applied to Christianity and and just tell us a bit about what what's going on in your ministry and how we can uh help 52:42 support that okay very good well I would say that the the first thing to do is go 52:47 to my website it's called discoveringthejewishjesus.com 52:52 discoveringthejewishjesus.com and what we do there you'll see all the 52:58 things that we're doing we're on television we're on radio uh podcast all all YouTube all that type of stuff so 53:04 the website will kind of list all the different ways that we are Distributing and disseminating information and uh you 53:11 know you can take advantage of that as as you feel led another way to be able to get some of the type of information 53:18 that uh alen that we've covered today are through my books I think a good follow-up book to some of the things 53:25 that we've talked about to today is my book called Lion of Judah I've written a number of books I think I've got 12 53:30 books out there online they're all available through Amazon or my website discovering the Jewish but there might 53:35 be a number of different books there that you might find interesting but we go more into some of the details of the 53:41 Feast for example and the uh the be believer's relationship to some of the uh uh precepts of the law and the 53:47 covenants that God gave the Hebrew Bible in that book Lion of Judah um other than that my my brother I 53:55 uh I think if they go to the website you know if they're interested in television or radio they'll see where and when we're broadcasting they can see the 54:01 books and hopefully they can get what they're looking for amen amen well guys 54:07 uh first of all I want to thank my guest uh Rabbi Schneider uh for your time being gracious with your time uh I 54:13 normally try to keep these interviews if I'm
