By Sid Roth "The message of this book is that God is calling on His Church to assume the role of Esther by standing up for His chosen people"( taken from back cover) " I have read this book several times. It is a straight forward call to the body of believers (born for such a time as this) to understand the hour in [...]
By Sandra Teplinsky An excellent book. In a concise and theologically sound way, Sandra Teplinsky shows the heart of God for Israel. "Teplinsky's excellently articulated book is a message the Church needs in this hour to come into its fullness." (Don Finto) PURCHASE - Why Care About Israel?
By Sandra Teplinsky Could you be asking all the wrong questions about Israel? Conversation about the Arab-Israeli conflict usually starts by asking if God is for or against the Jewish state--or Palestinians, Arabs or Muslims. In this updated and urgent book, Sandra Teplinsky, an American-Israeli Jewish believer, shows why many Christians are asking the wrong questions about Israel. With gracious honesty and solid biblical [...]
By Emily a Mockovciak Is the woman of valor who is described in Proverbs 31 a role model for women today? Are you intimidated by the requirements that seem to be imposed upon women in this passage? Emily Mockovciak opens new windows of understanding regarding this frequently misunderstood Bible chapter by digging deeply into each Hebrew verse and taking the reader behind the scenes [...]
By Don Finto This is an excellent book. Easy to read and understand. "It really clarified the History of the Jewish people and put into context their struggle and the war over Israel and the Land.( Nancy) "This is the best bridge-building book written on the subject of Israel, the Jewish people and the Church! Go on a journey with my friend Don [...]
Hanukkah has many names: “The Festival of the Dedication of the Altar, “The Memorial of the Purification of the Temple” and “The Festival of the Lights.” Each name has historical and spiritual implications in our life today. To fully present to you all that I have learned from my studies I have decided to release a series of three articles. The more I study [...]
The beginning of this article was written 5 years ago Daniel 11:31-32 [31] “Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the abomination of desolation. [32] By smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength [...]
Do you know the story of creation? You do? Great! Then you know that God created everything in six days. He made the sky, the seas, the sun, the moon, the trees, the grass. He made the animals, He made us, and as if that was not enough, He gave us a special gift on the seventh day. Do you know what the gift [...]
It was 250 years after the Maccabees took back the temple that Josephus, a Jewish historian, first called the holiday The Festival of Lights because of the lighting of lamps in Jewish homes. He writes, “Giving this name to it, I think, is from the fact that the right to worship appeared to us at a time when we hardly dared hope for it.” [...]
Have you ever thought about miracles? I think a miracle is something only God can do. Do you think that’s right? The Bible tells us about lots of miracles. When God created the earth, that was a miracle. What about when He parted the Red Sea–was that a miracle? Did you know that once, God gave a donkey a voice so it could [...]
Hanukkah has many names: “The Festival of the Dedication of the Altar, “The Memorial of the Purification of the Temple” and “The Festival of the Lights.” Each name has historical and spiritual implications in our life today. Most see Hanukkah as simply the story of a time in history for the Jewish people. However the more I study their history I gain insight to [...]
On some level most people know the story of Chanukah. Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Biblical calendar and lasts for eight days. Chanukah is a Hebrew word that means "dedication." This Feast is celebrated in memory of the rededication of the Temple unto God, after the miraculous victory of the small Maccabee army over the mighty [...]
The battle was raging. Sword struck shield. Sword struck sword. My band of warriors and I were tired and did not know how long we could hold on. I, Judah Maccabee, must be strong, and encourage my comrades to continue the fight. We were so close to defeating the evil Antiochus. I and my brothers - John, Eleazar, Simon and Jonathan - had promised [...]
Life is temporary so relax and enjoy the presence of the LordBy Dr. Howard MorganThe festival of Tabernacles speaks to us of the gathering of the people of Israel together to worship the Lord. They were to gather in temporary make-shift dwellings or booths called in Hebrew a Succot.. These booths represented in the natural realm the temporary dwellings of the people of God [...]
We are about to enter in to the “Season of Our Rejoicing” also known as the “Feasts of Booths,” “Feast of Tabernacles,” “Sukkot,” “The Feast of Ingathering”. For as many names as this appointed time has there are many more aspects revealed in this seven day celebration for us to consider. If you study carefully you will see how seven becomes a very important [...]
Traditionally the Jewish populace consider this month as a month of preparation for the first Fall Feast Yom T’ruah. Growing up I knew Yom T’ruah as Rosh Hashanah or New Years. Now I understand that Rosh Hashanah is the name for the Civil New Year chosen by the Rabbis. God, however, did not give this Feast a name other than the day of the [...]
by DevorahTurning to Acts 2, we see the mishpocha gathered for Shavuot-50 days after Passover, waiting in Jerusalem as instructed for the Power of G-d to come...even though none of them knew exactly what that would look like. Shavuot was the time of the giving of Torah...now a new dimension would appear. in verses 2-4 there is an unusual manifestation ....rushing violent wind, tongues [...]
Part two addresses the second set of Scriptures read at Shavuot. My initial temptation was to look up commentary on these powerful words of description of the spiritual realm. However in the first article I encouraged all of us to press into the Lord for the out pouring of His spirit to be an integral part of our every day lives. So I decided [...]
Well we are in the time of counting the omer and looking to celebrate Shavuot. In pondering what to write in this release I went to our web site to see what I have written on Shavuot. Honestly the article under Feasts / Shavuot found on www.oimm.org is pretty informative. No sense covering the same material so I have decided we should do a [...]

The Feasts of the Lord are important because they are His Feasts. They are a reflection of His ways, a memorial of His history with us and a prophetic picture of His will for our future with Him. I believe, however, that we have done a great disservice to Him and to the Body by presenting these Feasts primarily as "The Jewish Roots" teaching.I [...]
Dr. Howard MorganShavuot teaches us, we are to continually present ourselves, with our sinful nature, to the Lord.Interpreting the circumstances and situations of our lives according to God’s wisdom and revelation creates a spiritual, emotional, and psychological space in our lives for God’s transformational work in us.As with all the appointed feasts set forth by the Lord in His sacred calendar, the festival of [...]
Rosh Chodesh - Elul (Aug - Sept 2010)Today Wednesday Aug. 11 begins the Hebrew month of Elul. Traditionally the Jewish populace consider this month as a month of preparation for the First Fall Feast, the Feast of Trumpets or Yom T’ruah. Growing up I knew this feast as Rosh Hashanah or New Years. Now I understand that is a term for the Civil New [...]
We are about to enter the season of the fall Feasts. In Hebrew the word for feast is Moed. It means Appointed Time. God has appointed times on His calendar to meet with us. Special times set apart for His purposes on the earth. The Hebrew word Mikrah is also used for Feast. It means a holy convocation, a scared assembly or rehearsal of [...]
In this journey to understand my Hebraic Roots, I have decided I want to see what the Word says about each feast and separate that from the rabbinical explanation and the traditional expression of worship for it. Not all tradition is bad. Having practical ways of bringing to remembrance the goodness and mercy of God can be educational and Spirit led.When you look at [...]
By Charles MedinaThere is a great mystery to be learned from the blowing of the Shofar. Being a blower myself, the Ruach led me to learn all I could about this wonderful instrument. Part of this mystery can be found in the Shofar blessing: “Baruch atah Adonai elohenu melech Ha’olam asher kishadanu lishmoa Kol SHofar”. The “Kol” can mean “sound” or “voice”. It is [...]
Often the Day of Atonement is highlighted by teachers as a time of personal reflection and repentance to start a clean slate year. Dr. Robert Heidler in his bookThe Messianic Church Arising has done an excellent job of teaching on that aspect of the Day of Atonement. You can also find a teaching on our web site www.oimm.org to model how we as a [...]

The Day of Atonement Lev 23:[26] The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [27] “On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the LORD. [28] “You shall not do any work on this same day, for it is [...]
LeShanah Tovah! Happy New Year! No, we at One in Messiah Ministries have not lost our minds. [Well, I can't speak for the others, but I know I'm completely sane. :-) ] According to the LORD's calendar, we are now in the first month of the year. It is the Jewish month of Nisan, or Abib.

Passover, old and new. Tying the modern Passover together with biblical history."Remember this day!"Exodus 13:3 "On the night He was betrayed...."1 Corinthians 11:23 Passover begins at sundown. We are grateful for all the traditional Seders that are being held as believers from the nations are being restored to the biblical Jewish roots of our faith. We encourage you to participate in them as the [...]
The Passover celebration like all the feasts of the Lord is historical, relevant now, and prophetic. Historically we recount the deliverance of the Hebrews at the first Passover. Prophetically from that event we look to the cross and then to the wedding feast that celebrates the return of Yeshua as King of Kings. I hope to relate in this article how Passover is relevant [...]
As is true with the entire Bible, the Passover story of the deliverance of the nation of Israel from pharaohís slavery and Egyptian bondage, is filled with practical and spiritual lessons for us in our walk with the lord, our battles with sin and satan, and our relationships with other believers who are joined with us in our adventure of faith. To really grasp [...]
Years ago, the Blood was central to all we prayed. Pleading the Blood was a way of life. I am not sure how that understanding moved from the forefront of our focus. I found as I researched, many authors pointed back to the great revivals and the importance of the Blood. Billye Brim's book, "The Blood and the Glory", is full of wonderful accounts [...]
My journey to Shabbat...One in Messiah Ministries started out as an Internet newsletter. Which, by the way, was a real stretch for me since I was computer illiterate. I would travel to various conferences, and when I heard a teaching about Hebraic Roots, or God’s Heart for Israel, or the Jewish people that I felt was important for the whole body, I would ask [...]

Coming soon...
by Sid Roth God never changed the day for the Sabbath (in Hebrew, Shabbat). The biblical Sabbath begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday. Many of the early church leaders who originally changed the observance of the Sabbath day to Sunday were anti-Semitic. Justin Martyr, early in the second century, in his dialog with Trypho the Jew said, “It was [...]
By Hadasah, (Mark 2:27-27 NASB) Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Have you ever pondered this scripture? What point was Jesus trying to get across? Initially I understood that Jesus was making the point of how far these leaders had come from God’s [...]
The Feast of Purim was initiated by the Jewish people in the fifth century B.C. At that time, many Jewish people were voluntarily living in Persia; the feast commemorates their narrow escape from death. The Book of Esther records the account of Haman’s plot to kill the Jewish people and the ways Mordecai and Esther overturned the plot. Prior to the defeat of Haman’s [...]
Where are the hunters and what do they look like? Last month, we looked at why God needed the hunters, and why would God employ hunters to get His people home to Eretz Israel. In a Jerusalem Post Op-ed dated December 8th, Arno Klarsfeld puts it this way: “We have learned from the past that massive aliyah only occurs in times of disastrous economic [...]
Why the hunters? Kristalnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass," November 9th, 1938, was a night that marked widespread violence against German and Austrian synagogues, Jewish businesses, and Jews, themselves. Nearly 100 Jews were killed, and several thousand sent to concentration camps. It marked the “beginning of the end” for Jews in Germany. Sixty-five years, later anti-Semitism is rising again in the world. It never [...]
David Lazarus - Restoring Our Heritage I want to talk about the relationship between the Church and Israel; how it is that we got to a situation today where we are so separate one from another, and what we can do to heal and restore it. I'm going to talk about history from the Early Church, things that were happening, and mistakes that were [...]
How do we pray for Israel? People ask me this everywhere I go. I find however as the conversations continue some are really asking, “What do we pray for Israel?” and others are asking how. What we pray for Israel can be answered by the many publications that give readers pertinent information about the political and material needs of the land. How we pray [...]
