A Rabbi's Search for Messiah

By Rabbi Isidor Zwirn

Featured Resource -

"Just come along quietly," one of the police officers said, "We're leaving the synagogue."

Rabbi Isodor Zwirn was being physically dragged off the bimah (platform) and out of a Burbank California synagogue for sharing what he had discovered in Isaiah's prophecies.

An Orthodox Jew, using the very methods of doresh (research) taught him in rabbinical school, after a lengthy and careful search of the Hebrew (Old Testament) Scriptures, came to a decision that radically changed his life. He accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as His Messiah! The news spread through the neighborhood, to the synagogue, and finally to the L.A. Orthodox Jewish Council, who ordered him expelled.

GNFI has published this fascinating story of an Orthodox Rabbi's journey to faith in Yeshua (Jesus). 119 pages

How Israel, the Jews and the Christian Church will come together in the last days.

Broken Branches

Has the Church Replaced Israel?

By Zola Levitt

Causing us to forget the character and essence of the Bible and to Gentilize its message and then to outright ostracized the Jew has been one of Satan’s cleverest ploys to cauterize the Church’s heart. The result has been a colorless, wilted collection of feel-good congregations missing their crucial mission: proclaiming the whole Word of God to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.

Israel's Bible Bloc

The final redemption of the human race from the threat of Islam is finally beginning to take shape globally in general and in Jerusalem in particular. A Judeo-Christian political party called "The Bible Bloc" is being formed to represent both Jews and Christians, for whom the two most important commandments are "Love the Lord thy God" and "Love thy fellow as thyself," two commandments on which all human civilization is based, except Islam. The Party will have an even number of Jewish and Christian candidates who understand we either hang together or hang separately. The candidates will represent orthodox, conservative, reform or secular Jews from all ethnic backgrounds, while also representing Christian Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox from all ethnic backgrounds. Jews and Christians together are going to cement an alliance both in Israel as well as globally to save Israel from destruction as well as Judeo-Christian western civilization and democracy. Among the subjects covered are the five deceptions of Islam, the threats of Socialism and Globalsim to Israel and Israel's Bible Bloc Party in the Knesset.

The Testimony of the Evangelists: The Gospels Examined by the Rules of Evidence

How would the Gospels be regarded if they were submitted as evidence in a court of law? This facinating question forms the basis for Simon Greenleaf's classic study of the rules of legal evidence as applied to the New Testament accounts of the life and teaching of Jesus. As Dane Professor of Law at Harvard University, Simon Greenleaf produced "the greatest single authority on evidence in the entire literature of legal procedure," Knott, The Dictionary of American Biography. Applying the same rules of evidence administered in courts of justice, Greenleaf demonstrates the validity of the Gospels as trustworthy and authoritative historical accounts. "Let (the Gospel's) testimony be sifted, as it were given in a court of justice on the side of the adverse party, the witness being subjected to a rigorous cross-examination," Greenleaf said. "The result, it is confidently believed, will be an undoubting conviction of their integrity, ability and truth." Simon Greenleaf was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts in 1783 and began the practice of law in Portland, Maine. Serving as professor of law at Harvard from 1833 to 1848, he was instrumental in organizing the university's law program. His three-volume work, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence is considered a classic of American jurisprudence and forms the basis for his study of the Gospels.

Here Comes the Bride

One of the most beautiful pictures of God's love is the ancient Jewish wedding. God has called both Jews and Gentiles to a marriage relationship with Him through our Heavenly Bridegroom the Messiah. God has only one bride and He has sent the matchmaker from Heaven to make us one with Him. Here Comes the Bride will help you understand God's love and calling to His bride from an Hebraic perspective: the Biblical concept of marriage as a covenant between God and His people; ancient Jewish wedding customs and how they point to the Messiah; how God is calling both Jews and Gentiles from around the world to Himself; and what we can do to prepare ourselves for the greatest event of the ages, the Wedding of the Bride.

What the Rabbis Know about the Messiah

A Study of Genealogy and Prophecy

The majority of Jewish people do not realize the common 21st century Jewish view of the Messiah is not the traditional Jewish view. The current view of the Messiah-as-King, Who will establish peace on earth overlooks an equally important Messianic role: Messiah-as-Servant. This oversight was largely a backlash to the growing number of Jews and Gentiles who had concluded the Suffering Servant in the Hebrew Scriptures was Yeshua, the Jew Who suffered a humiliating death after claiming to be the Messiah. This newly revised classic by Messianic Jewish scholar Rachmiel Frydland addresses this crucial oversight and examines the traditional understanding of the role of the Messiah. Rachmiel Frydland (1919-1985) pastored two Messianic congregations, founded Messianic Literature Outreach and edited The American Messianic Jewish Quarterly. He worked for Chosen People Ministries and served as the secretary of the International Alliance in Israel. He wrote scores of articles and authored When Being Jewish Was a Crime.

Yeshua: A Guide to the Real Jesus and the Original Church

Early leaders of the Christian church were all Jewish. The original church was organized around the pattern of the Jewish synagogue. Yeshua used numerous Jewish idioms in His teachings and was a Pharisee Himself. Ron Moseley studied the Jewish background of the New Testament at Princeton and the Jerusalem University. He earned a Jewish Studies masters degree, an M.Div. from Luther Rice College, Ph.D. in Ancient Middle Eastern History from Louisiana Baptist University and a D.Phil. in Sociology and Religious Studes from Oxford University. He was inducted into the Society of Scholars, Oxford in 2006. Dr. Mosely has authored 13 books, is the founder and president of the Arkansas Institute of Holy Land Studies and is the pastor of Sherwood Bible Church in Sherwood, Arkansas.
