The following is an exerpt from Rabbi Barry's "Way Messages". Rabbi Bary is a friend of mine from tribe.net

The biblical feast of Rosh Hashanah begins tonight at the appearance of the second star in the sky. There is much symbolism in this feast that begins the month of Tishrei, often called the holy month because Jews will celebrate four major holy days during this month.

Rosh Hashanah means the head of the year. We would call that New Years. However, strictly speaking it is not the new year that we normally think of, that is, the beginning of the year. That day occurred on the first day of Nisan in the spring. This day is the first day of the religious new year. It is the day upon which the cycle of life begins again. The cycle of human life began according to Jewish beliefs on this day. The world was created on this day and this day is called the birthday of Adam. Therefore, it is appropriate to see this day as the beginning of life.

Another name for this day is Yom Teruah, which means the day of the trumpet. It is called the day of the trumpet because the world was created by a trumpet like sound and the world will come to end with a trumpet like sound. That trumpet will be blown by Gavriel the Archangel at the coming of the Meshiach. Paul calls it the last trumpet. Bible believing Jews believe that the Meshiach will appear at the blowing of this trumpet and the dead shall rise from their graves incorruptible.

Rosh Hashanah begins a period of reflection for Jews. We believe that on Rosh Hashanah the King of Creation judges all beings, everywhere. He decides if they deserve to live another year or to die in this coming year. He decides whether they shall become rich or poor, sick or well, happy or sad, on this day of days. Not only mankind is judged but the angels as well and all the elementals, demons, devils etc. For ten days, Rosh Hashanah until Yom Kippur, Jews will try to do good deeds. They will see each request, whether for money or time, during that period as an offering from the King to make amends and prove that they should live. Now some have already been found innocent and will live another year, but most will now use this time to become right with the King. On Yom Kippur, the King will sign the sentence, set it in stone, and nothing can change it. But for the next ten days we can influence him by our mitigating acts.

On Rosh Hashanah, Jews will go to a river or flowing stream and there they will pick up stones. They will symbolically attach their sins to the stones and symbolically throw their sins away by throwing the stones in the river. This public confession of sin helps the soul and helps to make amends with the King.

Strictly speaking, it is the blowing of the trumpet in Jerusalem that calls forth the new year, but Jews everywhere will take up their shofarim and call forth the new year. The event happens at the exact moment that a second star appears in the night sky. Why the second star? Because under Jewish law, it takes two witnesses to convict and so it takes two witnesses, the two stars, to declare that the sun has fled and the night has begun. And thus the ancient statement again is recreated -- and the evening and the morning were the first day.

I will end this address by saying the words all Jews will say to each other this evening: L'shanah tovah. To a good year.

Q: So tell me, do you believe Yeshua was married to Mary Magdalene, and that they had a child or children?

A: Honestly I've found no compelling evidence one way or the other. However let me say that it would not make Him any less great if He had.

Q: Do you believe in the resurrection as described in the Bible, or another version?

I believe He was physically ressurected, but that His body was a glorified body-no longer prey to the weaknesses of the human body.

A: Who do you believe Yeshua was *before*, Joshua? Enoch~Metatron? Thoth~Hermes?

I believe He was Adam Kadmon- the Cosmic Blueprint for Perfected Humanity.

Q: What do you think of the idea of sin and hell and all that?

Sin is transgression of Sacred Law. Everyone fails in meeting the standards of Sacred Law. However, Elohim is so loving that S/He has forgiven these transgressions before they occur. Perfect Ahavah (Love) covers a multitude of wrong-doings. Hell is a spiritual state. It is the deprivation of the Presence, both immanent and transcendent, of the Divine. Thus it is torment. Elohim does not punish us with hell, but as Elohim is perfect and the embodiment of Light, Love and Purity, nothing that conflicts with these qualities can withstand the Presence. So it is our wrongdoing that moves us further from the Presence, not Elohim.


Q: What are your beliefs on that? The "end times", the 2nd coming, Yeshua's position in the hierarchy of Creation? If he is the Son, as you say, we all are too I believe, I think he just came first or got perfected first or something!

True, we will all be like Him in the end. I believe that earth changes will occur and that eventually the anti-moshiach will reign over the earth and finally be defeated by Yeshua when He returns. Then a Perfected Earth will be created.

Q: Oh, and what about angels? What are your thoughts on them?

They exist. They interact with humanity. I think there are angels assigned to the planets, stars, natural world, and each individual human.

Brock (Messianic_Believer)

Ya'akov (James) 1:27
The religious observance that God the Father considers pure and faultless is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being contaminated by the world.

"To keep oneself from being contaminated by the world", junk in - junk out. What is the message of the music I listen too? Am I addicted to watching the news? Have I been watching sexualy suggestive shows on T.V.? We must be carefull what we put into our minds. There is a teaching of Yeshua (Jesus) that says "If your right hand offends you, cut it off. If your right eye offends you, pluck it out " What Jesus is saying here is to rid yourself of anything that tempts you to sin.

As a direct result of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Renewal in the 1960’s, the people who become “baptized in the Holy Spirit” began to deeply research and challenge the long held doctrines of Christianity. They began to see that many doctrines were ripe for challenge and the one that was most divisive was the Replacement Theology which said that G-d had replaced the Jews with the Gentiles and that the Jews were now lost. In researching the basis of that particular theological doctrine, many began to doubt its truth and therefore began to rethink the question of the Hebrew Tradition within the Christian faith. The result was the Hebraic Roots Movement.
Hebrew Roots is a movement of modern-day Christians and Jewish believers partnering together and returning to the perspectives and beliefs of first-century faith. The modern Hebrew Roots movement originated from the Two-House movement and has been pioneered by Rabbi Ralph Messer since the 1980s.
The Hebrew Roots movement widely distances itself from the Messianic Jewish movement and strongly emphasizes the completion of the unified "House of Israel" in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), made up of both Jews and Non-Jews alike. Hebrew Roots Teachers do not believe they have replaced "natural" Israel, but have become a co-heir and equal member of God's chosen people through the blood of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah.
Hebrew Roots teachers assert that returning to the mindset of the first century church will provide deeper and more authentic insights into Hebrew idioms and first century cultural understandings lost when Constantine made "Catholicized Christianity" the official religion of Rome around 325 C.E.; outlawing Sabbath observance and introducing into the Christian church a myriad of pagan customs and Greek viewpoints still found in certain churches today.
The theology of the movement is explained through a Hebrew understanding of the role of Torah (traditionally the first five books of the Bible) as "Teaching and Instruction," a word that most Greek interpretations shorten to "Law." This socio-cultural misenterpretation has left much of the contemporary Christian church without Torah as a system of discipleship.
The movement advocates a return to Torah observance, including keeping the Sabbath and celebrating the feasts and festivals of God. This is not advocated out of legalistic bondage similar to some earlier Messianic movements, but because adoption and ingrafting into Israel has now made it the right of every born again believer in Jesus the Messiah to participate in the lifestyle of the Israelite people.
Hebrew Roots teachers emphasize the adoption of all believers in Jesus Christ into the faith of Abraham, often called in the Bible the "Unified House of Israel;" made up of Jews and Non-Jews who maintain faith in Jesus Christ while maintaining strict adherence to the Torah, God's Teaching and Instruction, as a lifestyle of faith and love. This, Hebrew Roots Teachers contend, is the same message that was taught by the the Apostle Paul and other New Testament writers.
In Jeremiah, God gives the northern kingdom of Israel a writ of divorce(Hebrew "get") for her idolatry and told her that he would scatter the nation to the ends of the earth, a promise fulfilled in the Assyrian conquest and dispersion of the nation. The Southern Kingdom, made up of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and half of the tribe of Levi, was exiled for 70 years but returned to the land of Israel under the leadership of the prophet Ezra. However, God promises in the last days to unite "the stick of Ephraim" and "the stick of Judah" (Ezekiel 37:15-28), ending a 3000 year long civil war between the ancestors of the 10 and 1/2 northern tribes called "Ephraim" or "The House of Israel" in the Bible, and the 2 and 1/2 tribes of the southern Kingdom that are commonly known as "The House of Judah" in the Bible accounts.
Hebrew Roots teachers believe that their ancestors may or may not be made up of the 10 lost tribes that are now returning as was prophesied in the books of Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Isaiah after being culturally assimilated into every nation and language listed in the Genesis account of the table of nations. However, they see this fact as unnecesssary to the status of one's covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They teach that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob accepts all who repent in faith and turn to Him for deliverence.
Proponents of Hebrew Roots teachings believe Christians have the testimony of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, but are often found innocently to be living lawlessly (1 John 1:9) according to the erroneous idea that Jesus died to do away with the Torah by fulfilling it.
Hebrew Roots teachers further believe that Jews have been the safe keepers of God's Teaching and Instruction (the Torah) but have not yet recognized Jesus as the Messiah, and will not do so as an entire nation--until the full number of former Gentiles has come into faith in Jesus and begins following the discipleship of the Torah.
The sources used by the Hebraic Roots Movement (Talmud, Mishnah, Midrash, Halakah and Haggadah) evolved into and purvey the same occult teachings as the Kabbalah/Zohar, the preeiminent compendium of Jewish mysticism. Schools of Kabbalah generally require a knowledge of these Rabbinic sources:
"But the Scripture alone can not show the meanings within. Rabbinic hermeneutics could find a wealth of meaning in the subtlest details of the text, a characteristic that Kabbalistic writing took over. To be able to deal with Kabbalistic texts, and at least be conversant with the literary forms they take, and the references they make to material which their authors assumed 'everyone' would know, the student should at a minimum be at least marginally familiar with the following items...the Talmud (Mishnah and Gemara)...The Midrash... The Siddu, or Prayerbook... Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzchak)... and Rambam (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon or Maimonides)."
Two branches of the Movement have left Christianity completely and gone over to the Jewish side of the divide. They are the Nasorean Orthodox Qahal and the Netzarim Sanhedrin. One of these groups, the Nasorean Orthodox Qahal has rejected the sole authority of Rabbinic sources and relies instead on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Enochic Judaism as primary authorities on the practice of Judaism and make use also of Gospels and Writings attributed to the Apostles who ruled in the Jerusalem Church.

The spirituality of the Hebraic Roots Movement is profoundly Jewish Traditional including the Ancient Jewish Mystical practices.

At this time, Israel again fights for its life. See what has happened before. See how the Palestinians called Edom and the Ishmaelites, the Arabs, are described herein. Of course, we must fight.

Tanach - Psalms Chapter 83

1. A Song Psalm of Asaph.
2. Do not keep silent, O God; do not hold your peace and be still, O God.
3. For, behold, your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate you have lifted up the head.
4. They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden ones.
5. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may no longer be remembered.
6. For they conspire together with one accord; they make an alliance against you:
7. The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarites;
8. Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
9. Assyria also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah.
10. Do to them as you did to the Midianites; as you did to Sisera, as you did to Jabin at the brook of Kishon;
11. Who perished at Ein-Dor; they became like dung on the earth.
12. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb; and all their princes like Zebah, and Zalmunna;
13. Who said, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.
14. O my God, make them like whirling tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
15. As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
16. So pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
17. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O Lord.
18. Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; and let them be put to shame, and perish,
19. That men may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the most high over all the earth.

A "Medieval book of psalms unearthed recently -- First millennium manuscript, open to Psalm 83, found in Irish mud."

According to the report, the 20-page book, which was found by a construction worker digging in the bog last week, has been expertly dated to the years AD 800 to 1000.

It was the first time in more than 200 years that an early medieval Irish document had been unearthed.

AP quotes the director of the National Museum of Ireland, Pat Wallace, who described the discovery as "really a miracle find."

"There's two sets of odds that make this discovery really way out," Wallace said. "First of all, it's unlikely that something this fragile could survive buried in a bog at all, and then for it to be unearthed and spotted before it was destroyed is incalculably more amazing."

What's even more incredible to me is that this book, opened to this psalm, was discovered at this specific time in history.

For right now Israel's enemies are again united in their desire to "cut Israel off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more." They purpose to take for themselves the "pastures of God for a possession." And that they are in league -- or in a confederacy -- is clear.

From Gaza, supported by most of the Arab states, the violence is being directed by the Palestinian Arab terrorist groups: the PLO, Hamas, the Palestine Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front For the Liberation of Palestine and the popular resistance Committees.

In the north, the Lebanese group Hizb'allah, supplied and enabled by Syria and the non-Arab but also Islamic Iran, is raining rockets down on Israel.

This, given the current situation, makes Psalm 83 a fascinating and fitting read, the ancient find nothing short of a phenomenon.

I don't want to take it any further than I should, but time may also show that the discovery of the Irish psalm book was a warning.

Many people have sensed that Damascus could be sucked into this war. Twelve days ago the Islamic Republic of Iran warned that an Israeli strike on Syria would be considered an attack on the whole Islamic world and would elicit a "fierce response."

Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly spelled out his vision for Israel.

"Israel must be wiped off the map." (October 26, 2005)

"The West [must] remove what they created sixty years ago ... [or] the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them." (February 11, 2006)

"Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation. The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm." (April 15, 2006)

And on July 8, 2006 Ahmadinejad told the foreign ministers of Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey, Bahrain and Egypt, together with the heads of the Arab League and the Islamic Conference that "all the conditions for the removal of the Zionist regime are at hand.... It won't take long before the wrath of the people turns into a terrible explosion that will wipe the Zionist entity off the map."

Wrote one commentator: None of the foreign ministers present, including Jordan, Egypt or Turkey -- commonly regarded as Israel's friends in the Arab/Muslim world -- objected to the call for annihilation.

Could we be on the verge of an all out Middle East conflagration concerning which we need to pray like Asaph, regarding those bent on Israel's destruction:

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like the chaff before the wind! As the fire burns the woods, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire, so pursue them with Your tempest, and frighten them with Your storm. Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD. Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish, that they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth. (Psalm 83:13-18)

May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. All glory to our wonderful God and His living and mighty Word!
