The Time of Grafting in and Grafting back has arrived
Yaakov, Béla Orbán
”To me, the story of Jesus is carrying two big actual moralities.
The first is the importance of Judaism of those times. Jewish religious documents from before and after Jesus should not only be checked out by scientists but also the contemporary Jewish congregations should learn from them.
The rigorous modern orthodoxy together with the nationalists circles – those who were strongly anti-Zionists at the beginning and are today in the other extreme – could realize that their own Judaism takes its roots in ideologies coming from the Middle Ages and does not carry the purity of the original Judaism any longer.
More specifically:
The characteristic of contemporary Jewish way of thinking is a lack of knowledge of the roots of Judaism...
...we must always remember two things:
(1) The Historical Times that were running when Jesus appeared on earth, and (2) the Judaic school or movement to which Jesus belonged in order to protect Jews from anti-Semite attacks and to be able to find what was common and good in Jesus. He offered us: The Revolution of Love!, so that we would be able to achieve it one day, here in this world (3).
The pope is running around the world claiming that he is in permanent conversation with a Jewish Guy: all this is pure theatrical publicity!
I hope that it exists another movement in which the catholics and the protestants (4) become both happy because they finally find their Jewish roots.”
(David Flusser)
In many points we could agree with the writing of this Jewish «researcher of Jesus».
However it is important to specify some things:
The born of Jesus is the fulfilment of the Promise of God and not the unavoidable consequence of the historical situation of that time…
In place of the expression ”Revolution of Love”, it is more correct to use the followings: Apparition and Gift of Love, Grace and Redemption from the Lord to each man and woman by Yeshua HaMashiach.
...things we are unable to do ourselves, but we can accept it free of charge and testify by faith to the rest of the world.
Yes, the Body of Christ still exists. The People of God to which everyone can belong and rejoin it if he or she is not idolatrous or simply religious.
So in summary:
Anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism are parts of the spirit that fights against God’s Will, Project and Laws.
Each person who accept Yeshua HaMashiach of Nazareth as a Jew, who has born again in Him, and who lives His love and become integral part of the Body of the Messiah, is no longer able to be the enemy of Jewish people, or the robber of the Calling and the promises given by God to His Chosen People…
One of the main key of the Revival and strengthen of the Body of Christ is to find the Jewish roots and to be grafted into them again.
Contemporary Judaism has itself also arrived in a phase of its history when it is going to fade away and die.
It is high time to replace rabbinical Judaism by the original one, the Judaism of Moses, the one Revealed by the Eternal God, so that He would show and unveil to His People, the King according to His Promise and let them recognise Yeshua HaMashiach of Nazareth as the Messiah Who is to come back.
”In 1937, I was already reading the Bible in Greek, but I could not yet read the ancient Hebrew. I knew the Holy Scriptures in Hebrew through translations.
I noticed that Judaism of the time of Jesus did not correspond to the one of the Old Testament.” (D.F.)
After many centuries, the opportunity of Grafting back has finally come.
It is an enormous and particular joy that we finally can read such thoughts and desires of Grafting back from a Jewish writher and scientist.
