One of the fascinating themes throughout Scripture is the reference to bread. It is a staple in the human diet in just about every culture in the world. The Appointed Times of the Lord contain elements of bread in their celebration, and the Lord climaxed His teachings at His last Passover by saying He was the bread of life.

His name is Melchizedek (mel-kiz-e-dek) (in Hebrew Malki Tzedek) which means “king of righteousness.”

Is Jesus the Messiah truly Yahweh God?

Churchmen have been indoctrinated that they should not and do not keep the commandments of the Lord.

Moses spoke of a generation coming much later that would see Israel scattered into all of the nations. He then foretold they would be part of an exodus out from all of those nations back to the promised land.

The sages say that Abraham’s relationship with God was more mature and that he was setting an example for how we should walk before God. We should be able to hear God’s instructions and act accordingly, rather than being urged forcefully by a handhold or pulled along by a leash.

Christians will explain that the New Covenant did away with the “Old” Covenant and that Jesus “fulfilled” the Law. They might even throw a bone to you and say something like, “We still keep the moral law, but the ceremonial law is out. Besides, no one can really keep the Law.” Christians who answer this way believe in “Replacement Theology.”

The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalm 1

The Feast of Tabernacles was one of three pilgrimage festivals (the others were the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Weeks). The men of Israel would travel to the Temple in Jerusalem and build their booths (sukkot) around the city.

Is Torah for everyone? Or is it just for Jews? This is a major question facing many Messianic brethren today. It is the same question that was raised in the New Testament.
