Yeshua

Only a handful of souls know the true story of Jesus of Nazareth. Those who know the truth must fight to expose it, and a war started in Judea two thousand years ago culminates in a final battle in the twenty-first century. If you enjoy the works of Dan Brown and Stephen King, then you'll love this dark, action-packed conspiracy thriller.

Jesus was a Jew who was born, lived, and died within first-century Judaism. His lifestyle was characteristic of the Jews of that day. Since the New Testament is highly Hebraic- background, writers, culture, religion, traditions, concepts, etc.- any full understanding needs this perspective.

First, there was Jesus (Yeshua), the baby born in Bethlehem. Then the baby grew up and, for one year, led an itinerant, mostly rural ministry. Fast-forward 2,000 years. Jesus' teaching has become one of the world's great religions, but it also has fragmented into countless schools of thought. Somewhere along the way, the teaching was obscured by a wide variety of conflicting religious, political, and theological forces. Who was Jesus the man, and what did he actually teach? In The Gospel of Yeshua: A Fresh Look at the Life and Teaching of Jesus, veteran journalist Skip Johnson combines ancient testimony with modern Bible research to produce a richly detailed portrait of the life and teaching of Jesus. This biography presents Jesus' teaching as his disciples would have heard and understood it, and it focuses on how anyone can attain happiness beyond human imagination, regardless of present circumstances.

Are we really living in the end times? Could it be that the recent Covid-19 crisis marked “the beginning of the end?” Will that be followed by an imminent (pre-tribulation) rapture? Will we still be living here for (at least some of) “the great tribulation?” Are we prepared? Will we need to change “the model” we use as Messiah’s body during the potentially tumultuous circumstances soon coming on our world? This very interesting and challenging book addresses the above questions in a convincing and biblical way. As a native Israeli Jew and a follower of Israel’s Messiah Redeemer, the author approaches the above issues using his Hebraic Jewish Middle Eastern lens. Spoiler alert! Do not expect traditionally accepted explanations and interpretations of end-time prophecies. Be prepared rather to have your settled theology disrupted as you read with an open mind. You may discover your thinking has been influenced by traditional teachings, which are the byproducts of misinterpreted scriptures due to a lack of understanding of their proper cultural and linguistic context. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

The person investing their time and money (education) into what they believe to be a truth will find it difficult to accept the possibility of it being wrong. For sixteen hundred plus years a system of belief The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God has been taught and enforced to the point where the possibility of it being wrong is so freighting to them still believing it; Athanasius paradox of his three Gods not being three Gods but one, Trinity, God. A person can interpret the Anthanasian Creed (325-AD) to say, mean, what ever they like, the author himself clearly established that unless you believe Jesus is God you cannot be saved, in it.

When a dog decides to follow Jesus Christ through his ministry in ancient Israel, we see what real devotion looks like.

Set in 28 A.D., Yeshua’s Thief is the story of the family of a thief on the cross who was forgiven. It is a story of sacrifice, redemption, and romance. Ezekiel struggles with the stigma of being the son of a thief. His father, Dismas-leader of the Zealots, is not around much. One day Dismas returns home and Ezekiel is excited to see him. Dismas reveals that he has an important task: keep the dagger safe until he returns. The dagger encrusted with jewels and garnished with gold is the most valuable thing Ezekiel has ever seen. He quickly hides the dagger and his father leaves and does not return for eight years. Presuming him dead, Ezekiel sells the dagger at the market for enough money to build three fishing boats. He is encouraged to seek out Yeshua a local carpenter. Yeshua refuses to build the boats telling Ezekiel that he must return the money and get the dagger back or someone in his family will die. Ezekiel does not listen. A few years later his father returns in chains and needs the dagger to buy his freedom from the Romans. If Dismas does not return the dagger, then he could be sentenced to the cross.

In this powerful book, Yacov Rambsel provides detailed textual analyses of hundreds of passages from both Old and New Testaments, showing how God overlaid His Word with the good news of His Son--thousands of years before Jesus was born.
