    94 – Messianic Jewish History Unveiled | Dr. Gershon Nerel

    The roots of modern Messianic Judaism extend farther back into history than the cultural expression that emerged out of the 1960s. It’s a story of pioneering faith, a few missed opportunities, along with overcoming fierce challenges. Dr. Gershon Nerel is a Jewish believer in Yeshua and a historian who joins Messiah Podcast from the messianic archive center on the outskirts of Jerusalem in Israel. He has spent decades studying the history of Jewish believers in Jesus. His research informs us regarding both the past and the future. Dr. Nerel’s insights challenge us to reconsider how history, identity, and faith intertwine for Jewish believers in Yeshua living in Israel today.  👉 Key Discussion Points: ► The artifacts, archives, and personal stories that reveal the complex journey of Jewish believers in Yeshua.  ► The rise and fall of key figures like Abram Poljak and the importance of stability and independence in movement growth. ► The impact of political upheavals, such as Operation Mercy, on the survival of Hebrew Christians and Jewish believers in Israel. ► "Messianic Judaism" vs. "Yeshua Judaism" and why the terminology matters. ► The ongoing struggle to reconnect with biblical, independent expression of faith beyond church doctrines and denominational control. Gershon Nerel is a trailblazing historian with decades of research into Messianic Jewish roots in Israel whose work uncovers the overlooked and often suppressed stories of faith, exile, and revival. Step into the archives with us because the future of Messianic Judaism depends on knowing its past.  🔖  Chapters 00:00 The History of Messianic Jews in Israel 03:28 Research Journey and Primary Sources 10:33 Establishing the Messianic Jewish Archive 17:11 Key Figures in Messianic Jewish History 24:02 Operation Mercy and it’s generational impact 29:55 Emissaries not Missionaries 34:39 Avram Poljak, A Courageous Pioneer 43:51 The Tragic loss of Abraham's Vineyard 49:56 The Current State of Messianic Judaism in Israel 👉  Resources: Gershon Nerel’s Research Books about Jewish Believers in Yeshua Articles: https://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/dr-gershon-nerel-speaks-at-the-bram-center https://ffoz.org/hub/friends/teaching/the-history-of-messianic-jews-in-israel Messiah Magazine Issue 18 –  Who is Messiah Podcast?  – Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.  Messiah Podcast is made possible by the generosity of our First Fruits of Zion Friends.

    91 – Is Sabbath Just for Jews? | Aaron & Rachel Eby

    The Sabbath: Is it observed on Sunday or Saturday? Is it a day of rest, worship, or both? Who is it truly for—Jews, Christians, or everyone? Are the ancient Sabbath laws still relevant today? What insights does the Bible provide? If profound questions like these cross your mind, then join Aaron and Rachel Eby as they delve into these topics, sharing their experiences as a Jewish family observing the traditional Jewish Sabbath every Saturday. Aaron, a senior educator at First Fruits of Zion, and Rachel, a prolific writer for Messiah Online and Messiah Magazine, offer a unique perspective as Jewish followers of Jesus. Together, they guide us through understanding the Sabbath from a Messianic Jewish viewpoint.  👉 Key Discussion Points: ► In this episode you’ll discover why the Sabbath was sanctified at creation long before the Jewish people existed, and what it truly means for a day to be “holy.”  ► Traditional Jewish Sabbath observance goes beyond just refraining from work and includes the thirty-nine categories of prohibited creative acts. The Ebys explain the purpose behind these detailed boundaries and how this meticulous structure is designed not to be a burden but to deepen your awareness of God's holiness, transforming how you experience time and life itself.  ► The Sabbath serves as a rehearsal for the World to Come, a time to step back from our relentless pursuit of achievement and reconnect with God's eternal promises. Aaron and Rachel share personal insights into how Shabbat fosters community, nurtures family bonds, and cultivates a sense of delight. They discuss suggestions for engaging children and incorporating joy, even amid a busy, screen-saturated culture. They offer encouragement for non-Jews: even small steps like lighting candles or setting aside moments of reflection can infuse life with spiritual meaning and cultural richness.  This episode isn’t just about understanding a religious practice; it’s about rediscovering a rhythm of life that can profoundly shape your faith, your family, and your worldview. Whether you’re Jewish, exploring the faith, or simply curious about a tradition rooted in divine wisdom, these insights open a path toward sacred time and a deeper connection with the Creator.

    90 – The Quickening: Stephanie Quick and The Emmaus Table

    As tensions continue to ferment in the Middle East, God has called some from among his flock to bring the gospel of the kingdom to the Muslim world. Our guest today, Stephanie Quick of the Emmaus Table, is a writer, teacher, songwriter, recording artist, cinematographer, filmmaker, and fierce advocate of Israel with rare and unusual political equilibrium, and a true and loyal friend to dogs everywhere. She's here to tell us about how the Emmaus Table is proclaiming the gospel in its original apocalyptic Jewish context to audiences in the Middle East and around the world. 👉 Key Discussion Points: ► The Gospel’s Jewish Context in the Muslim World: Stephanie emphasizes the importance of proclaiming the “gospel of the kingdom” within its original apocalyptic Jewish context, even to the Muslim world. ► Founding of the Emmaus Table: After years with Frontier Alliance International (FAI), Stephanie helped transition their public-facing efforts into “The Emmaus Table.” The new collaborative “dinner table” model provides a free and growing resource library, including films, teaching, and music. ► The Covenant and Controversy Framework: A central theme of her work is navigating the “controversy of Zion.” She posits that God’s faithfulness to his everlasting covenant with Israel is the foundation for a Christian’s personal security; if God were to renege on his promises to the Jewish people, believers would have no basis to trust his promises to them. 🔖 Chapters 00:00 Living through Conflicts with Iran 05:52  Journey to the Middle East: A Personal Calling 11:10 Missions and Filmmaking in the Muslim World 22:16 The Emmaus Table: A Collaborative Initiative 29:29 Understanding the Gospel of the Kingdom 37:10 The Incomplete Gospel and Its Implications 42:44 The Wire: Geopolitics through a Maranatha Lens 45:16 The Inkwell: A Devotional and Teaching Platform 48:26 The Global Bible Study: Weekly Teachings and Insights 49:48 Death + Kingdom: A Musical Exploration of Resurrection 👉 Resources: ► Emmaus Table ► Covenant and controversy: The Great Reign FFOZ at the Emmaus Table https://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/ffoz-at-the-emmaus-table https://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/drawn-from-flame-and-water https://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/sojourners-and-exiles SOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATION https://www.facebook.com/theemmaustable.world X and IG at: @quicklikesand Music Albums to explore on your favorite streaming service ► The Death of Death: Death + Kingdom Vol. I ► Ballads of Song of Solomon –  Who is Messiah Podcast?  – Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.  Messiah Podcast is made possible by the generosity of our First Fruits of Zion Friends.

    89 – Is 1 Peter for Jews or Gentiles? | Dr. Kelly Liebengood

    For those of us who read the Bible from a Messianic Jewish perspective, 1 Peter presents a problem. On the surface, Peter seems to be telling an audience of Gentiles that they, and not Israel, are now the chosen people. Dr. Kelly Liebengood has recently released a manuscript called Reading 1 Peter after Supersessionism, in which he shares his research on Peter’s inclusive language. Gentile followers of Jesus have always faced a challenge when forming a new identity, but the nature of this new identity does not preclude the continuing status of Israel as the people of God. Join us as we wrestle through post-supersessionist scholarship to find the message of Peter that applies even today.  👉 Key Discussion Points:  ► The Concept of “Gentile Israelhood” is a concept Dr. Liebengood uses to express that Gentile believers are invited into a shared identity where they belong to the God of Israel. Dr. Liebengood argues they are “grafted-in” to Israel’s story without erasing their own Gentile identity or stealing the unique status of the Jewish people.  ► The Challenge of Audience Identification in 1 Peter is a scholarly tug-of-war. A Jewish audience fits the letter’s “national” language but contradicts descriptions of the readers’ former pagan ignorance; conversely, a Gentile audience risks supporting “replacement theology” unless read through a post-supersessionist lens. How can this tension be resolved?  ► A post-supersessionist reading of 1 Peter underscores the trustworthiness of God. The debate over 1 Peter is ultimately about the character of God. If God were to abandon his specific promises to Israel to start over with a new group, he would be fundamentally untrustworthy. A post-supersessionist reading ensures that God is seen as a faithful promise-keeper to all.  🔖  Chapters  00:00 Kelly's Journey to Post-Supersessionism  13:22 1 Peter and the Significance of Audience  07:56 Understanding Suffering in 1 Peter  19:03 Theological Implications of Audience Interpretation  26:29 Understanding “Israelhood”   31:42 Challenges of Gentile Identity Formation  34:21 Viewing Peter's Audience as Converts  39:48 Dating 1 Peter  44:32 Suffering in 1 Peter  48:10 Ecclesiology and Gentile Identity  51:24 Future Directions in Scholarship  1:00:20 Theological Implications for Gentile Followers  1:05:10 Re-narrating the Bible’s Bigger Picture  1:07:57 The Need for Dialogue in Scholarship  👉  Resources:  ► Reading 1 Peter after Supersessionism, Dr. Kelly Liebengood  ► Dismantling Replacement Theology ► Biblical Blueprint of Peoplehood ► Israel – Forgetfulness –  Who is Messiah Podcast?  – Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.  Messiah Podcast is made possible by the generosity of our First Fruits of Zion Friends.

    88 – Hello, Mrs. Rachel: Breaking the Internet with Messianic Content

    Can a stay-at-home mom with a gift of gab change the way the world views the Jewish Jesus? The viral @HelloMrsRachel, a third generation Messianic Jew joins Messiah podcast to reveal the David-and-Goliath reality of being a Messianic creator today. From dealing with heresy-hunting hate-watchers to answering deep theological DMs from curious Christians and searching Chasidic Jews, Rachel shares how she balances viral success with a heart-centered faith that refuses to get stuck in the "heady" world of theology. 👉 Key Discussion Points: ► The Struggle of the “In-Between": Messianic Jews often experience a unique form of double-rejection from both the Christian and Jewish communities. Rachel found that sharing this specific tension on social media resonated deeply with others who feel they don't fit into traditional boxes. ► Jewish Identity as a Testimony of God's Faithfulness: Retaining Jewish identity and traditions after following Jesus is seen as a living testimony that God keeps his promises. Rachel argues that if God were to "break" his specific promises to the Jewish people, it would undermine the security of his promises to all believers. ► The David and Goliath Mindset: Rachel views her platform as a way to confront demonic lies and misinformation about Messianic Jews and about Israel. This gives her purpose in being a small voice for truth against big mobs. 🔖  Chapters 00:00 Meet @HelloMrsRachel: Breakout Content Creator 02:30 Third-Generation Faith: Rachel's Upbringing 08:28 Parenting and Passing the Torch to the Fourth Generation 10:24 Marriage Dynamics: When Two Messianic Jews Disagree 11:16 The "Niddah" Conversation in a McDonald's Drive-Thru 14:12 Raising Children in an Interfaith/Christian World 16:10 How to Become a Messianic Social Media Mogul 21:09 Impact over Numbers: The Responsibility of Influence 24:30 Christians Asking the Big Questions About Jewish Roots 28:24 Head vs. Heart: Balancing Theology with Simple Worship 32:43 Dealing with Hate-Watchers and Misinformation 36:56 Why Modern Jews Shouldn't Have to Assimilate 41:50 God's Promises: Why Jesus Being Jewish Changes Everything 46:51 Rachel's Favorite Messianic First Fruits of Zion Resources 👉  Resources: Hello Mrs. Rachel Social Media Accounts: YouTube / Instagram / Tiktok  HelloMrsRachel Article on Messiah Online FFOZ Reacts to a React to Hello Mrs. Rachel Educational Materials for Kids The Sabbath Table Prayer Book –  Who is Messiah Podcast?  – Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.  Messiah Podcast is made possible by the generosity of our First Fruits of Zion Friends.

    87 – Decoding Cody: Autism, Angels, and Telepathy on Trial | Pastor Joe Infranco

    The Telepathy Tapes took the podcast world by storm in 2024. All of a sudden, we had falsifiable evidence that non-speaking autistic people could read minds. But this phenomenon was only the tip of a massive iceberg. What the Telepathy Tapes refused to publicize was the fact that these individuals relate messages from the God of Israel and from Jesus himself, expressions of unfathomable love, calls to repentance and reminders that Jesus is coming quickly. Our guest, Pastor Joe Infranco, exercised the intellectual rigor he learned in his first career as an attorney to get to the bottom of this phenomenon. 👉 Key Discussion Points: ► Biblical Gifts vs. "Telepathy": While some secular observers label the ability to know others' thoughts as "telepathy," Joe Infranco frames this phenomenon within the context of 1 Corinthians 12 spiritual gifts, such as "prophetic insight" or a "word of knowledge." He notes that many of these individuals are highly empathetic and "pick up thoughts" or see spiritual colors around people rather than experiencing literal, radio-like mind reading. ► A Rigorous Testing of the Supernatural: As a former attorney, Infranco uses a "preponderance of the evidence" legal standard to validate supernatural claims. He argues that instead of demanding absolute certainty, believers should weigh evidence. Does the message provided line up biblically? Do the speakers have any motivation to lie? With objections and evidence on a scale which side is more persuasive? ► God’s Use of "Overlooked Instruments": A central theme of the episode is that God may be choosing "heretofore overlooked instruments" to communicate ancient truths to the modern world. Infranco shares that many non-speaking individuals report seeing into the spiritual realm—including angels, demons, and Jesus—and feel a divine mandate to share messages of love and calls to repentance with a world that has often ignored them. 🔖 Chapters 00:00 From Attorney to Pastor: A Journey of Faith 03:55 The Phenomenon of Telepathy and Spiritual Gifts 08:28 Skepticism and Validation: The Journey of Belief 14:13 Theological Concerns and Spiritual Discernment 24:12 Providing Biblical Perspectives to Spiritual Experiences 31:59 Beyond a Reasonable Doubt 34:59 Messages from the Spiritual Realm 38:35 Seeing the Future and Angels 41:59 The Nature of Heaven and Relationship with God 45:35 The Role of Autism in God's Plan 49:19 Jewish Concepts Revealed through Autistic 53:20 Signs of the Times: Prophetic Insights 57:29 God's Unique Strategies in Reaching People 01:00:34 Hope and the Future of Faith 👉 Resources: Instagram: @pastorjoeinfranco Hidden Gifts Ministry Decoding Cody: Secrets of the Spectrum from People with Autism Who See, Hear, and Smell in the Unseen Realm  The Telepathy Tapes –  Who is Messiah Podcast?  – Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.  Messiah Podcast is made possible by the generosity of our First Fruits of Zion Friends.
