在今年的光明節,馬加比要對我們說什麼呢?

12月7日(基斯流月25日)是今年爲期8天的光明節(獻殿節)慶祝的開始。通常情況下,居住在世界各地的猶太人都是帶着歡樂的期待盼望這個節日的到來。我們在喜樂和感恩中慶祝馬加比家族大大得勝了我們古時的那些敵人。一些信彌賽亞的猶太人也慶祝聖靈感孕,根據聖經經文,主耶穌道成肉身很可能是發生在光明節期間。...

A Christian Response to Global Anti-Semitism

The Israel-Hamas War has unleashed murderous waves of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel ideologies that are unprecedented in scope worldwide. How are Bible-believing Christians to respond? Consider that long ago, when the Jewish people returned to Israel after 70 years of exile, God spoke to them through the prophet Zechariah: “Whoever touches…...

This Hanukkah and Christmas, What Might the Maccabees Say to Followers of Yeshua?

This year, spiritual dynamics involved in the original Hanukkah event seem to be prophetically re-occurring. The holiday will soon end, but what might our ancient Maccabee forbears still say to us, if they could? The festive, eight day commemoration of Hanukkah (“Feast of Dedication”) starts this year on December 7…...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 5784 AND FEAST OF TRUMPETS by Sandra Teplinsky

Happy Jewish New Year 5784, traditionally known as Rosh Hashanah, falling this year on September 15-17. To be accurate, Rosh Hashanah is not a biblical event, or even a phrase in the context of any feast. As we’ve pointed out for many years, the holiday known today as Rosh Hashanah…...

“埃波月第九日”(聖殿被毀之日):在我們的世代救贖能夠在這一天降臨嗎?

“埃波月第九日”(聖殿被毀日)是猶太人哀痛和禁食的日子,今年的“埃波月第九日”開始於7月26日到7月27日結束。“埃波月第九日”指的是聖經年曆的第五個月的第九天。以色列的第一聖殿和第二聖殿分別在公元前586年和公元70年的埃波月第九日悲慘地被毀掉。歷史以來,其他的很多可怕的災難都是在埃波月第九日以及之前的三個星期中臨到猶太人身上的。這三個星期(我們現在正處於這段時期)就是我們熟知的“狹窄之地”。根據拉比的教導,這些災難發生在這個特定時期並不僅僅是偶然現象,其實是出於神的手。那麼,拯救是否在當下可以降臨到“埃波月第九日”?...

塔模斯月17日和“狹窄之地”:是發生戰爭的時刻嗎?

2023年7月6日對應着塔模斯月17日,這一天在聖經日曆和希伯來經文中都代表着至關重要的一天。撒加利亞書8章19節把這一天指定爲“四月禁食的日子”。在公元前586年和公元70年的塔模斯月17日,耶路撒冷城牆被入侵的軍隊攻破。也是在這兩次的入侵中,污穢的事件導致了城市的失守、聖殿的毀壞和以色列人的被擄(列王記下25:3-4)。守這日的猶太人認識到這不是個純粹的巧合,而是出於神的手。他們在這一天認罪悔改禱告並禁食。那些關於應受審判的先知預言性的經文在這一天被誦讀和查考。...

Tammuz 17 and Bein HaMetzarim 2023: A Time for War?

以賽亞書 62章禁食禱告之後,下一步是什麽? 我们还有很多要做的,请加入我们!

2023年3 月,當時有零星幾位美國禱告領袖宣佈即將動員全球百萬基督徒為以色列禁食禱告21天的活動,聽到他們的宣佈時,如同很多其他以色列彌賽亞猶太人,我頓時啞然無語,可又爲此感到雀躍。坦白說,我心裏有些懷疑。因爲在我們周遭團體中曾經有過很多次教會發起為以色列禱告的假象。這一次戛然而來的宣告支持,我好奇这回跟以往会有什么不同? 這次的禱告會扎根結果嗎? 它會公開與彌賽亞猶太人合作結盟嗎?因爲根據往常慣例,大型基督徒為以色列發起的活動都避開與彌賽亞猶太人的合作。...
