On this page: Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Jewish Messiah Wikipedia Jewish Messiah The Jewish Messiah , or Mashiach , or Moshiach , has traditionally referred to a future Jewish king from the Davidic line who will be "anointed" (in Hebrew mashiach ("messiah") means "anointed" [with holy olive oil]) and inducted to rule the Jewish people. In Standard Hebrew the Messiah is often referred to as Tiberian Hebrew ), literally "anointed king". Today, the various Jewish denominations have sharp disagreements about this subject, see below. (Note: The concept of the messiah in Judaism is briefly discussed in the Jewish eschatology entry. This article discusses the Jewish view of the messiah in more detail.) Views of Maimonides The predominant Jewish understanding of moshiach ("the messiah") is based on the writings of Maimonides , (the Rambam ). His views on the messiah are discussed in his Mishneh Torah , his 14 volume compendium of Jewish law , in the section Hilkhot Melakhim Umilchamoteihem , chapter 11. Maimonides writes:

Messianic Jews I. Profile Report Name: Messianic Jewish Alliance of America Founder : The group is literally an alliance of Hebrew Christians who believe in Jesus but retain their Jewish identity. When MJAA was founded in the summer of 1979 there were initially thirty-three congregations. Daniel Juster was the first president, but several persons were involved in bringing the alliance into existence. Messianic Jewes attribute the founding of Messianic Judaism to their Messiah, Yeshua, or Jesus of Nazareth. Date of Birth: (0-33 A.D.) Birth Place: Taking into consideration the beliefs of the Messianic Jews that Yeshua was the sole founder, his birthplace was in Bethlehem. Year Founded: The MJAA was founded in 1979. However, many Messianic Jews believe that Messianic Judaism was founded upon the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. During the first century A.D., literally hundreds of thousands of Messianic Jews flourished. In addition, many Messianic Synagogues were scattered throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. Brief History: The Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, or the MJAA, was founded upon a threefold principle. First, to promote a clear and visible testimony to the fact that there resides a substantial and growing movement of Jewish people who believe that Yeshua, or Jesus of Nazareth, is the Jewish Messiah and Savior of the World. Second, to bring together, into one coherent organization, Jewish and non-Jewish people of like faith and mind with the shared vision for the Jewish revival. Third, and most significantly, to introduce the Jewish people to Yeshua,the Messiah.

The Ascendance of "Messianic Judaism" in the Context of "Hebrew Christianity" A History of the 20th Century Movement in America of "Jewish Believers" in "Yeshua Ha Mashiach" (Jesus Christ) by William Greene, Ph.D. The modern phenomenon of Jewish believers in Jesus Christ as their Messiah has a long history in the United States, and (as is the case with most modern Jewish history) has strong ties to a European heritage as well. Foundations for the twentieth century were laid, of course, in the nineteenth century and before; worldwide, estimates of Jewish conversions to Christianity approximated 250,000 during the 1800s, including such notables as British Prime Minister Disraeli, Old Testament commentary wri ters Franz Delitzsch and David Baron, and the first Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Michael Solomon Alexander. However, in America, this phenomenon has taken on some unique characteristics, the most prominent of which has been the evolution of what was known as " Hebrew Christianity "

As I write this article I have just heard that one of our colleagues was injured in London University when he tried to stop a student from defacing a Jewish Society poster with a swastika. The level of hatred against Israel and the Jewish people has reached frightening proportions not just in the Middle East, but here as well. The main reason for this is that the media have adopted a double standard when it comes to reporting events in Israel. Israelis apparently have the right to be killed by Palestinian terrorism, but not to defend themselves against it. I receive daily information from Israel telling me what is happening. Then I turn on the TV and receive a totally different version. Clearly someone is not telling the whole truth.

Quodlibet Journal: Volume 1 Number 1, March-April 1999 http://www.Quodlibet.net An Introduction to Messianic Judaism Romans 11:11 "Again I ask, Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious." A new thing on the Earth In many evangelical circles, there is discussion of a fairly recent, but rapidly growing phenomenon: Messianic Judaism. There are very popular national television shows about it, and no less a publication than Christianity Today magazine has recently done a major article about it. Students at Christian colleges and universities are asking about it. And churches are divided, in the words of the CT writer, "taking turns supporting and condemning" this new happening. What is it? What is Messianic Judaism? That’s a pretty easy question to answer, in general. Messianic Jews are those Jews who believe that the Messiah promised in the Bible has already come (they are waiting for him to come again ), and that He is the one who Christians call Jesus. They maintain their Jewish lifestyle and identity, but believe they are redeemed through God’s grace, by faith in the Messiah, Jesus (who they know as Yeshua, his Hebrew name). There are hundreds of Messianic Jewish congregations, with a growing representation on virtually every continent.

73. The Messiah The most basic reason for the Jewish denial of the messianic claims made on In the modern world, Reform judaism has long denied that there will be an http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/messiah.html

The Messiah Many Jews have long been skeptical of predictions announcing the imminent arrival of the Messiah ( ). The first century sage Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai once said: "If you should happen to be holding a sapling in your hand when they tell you that the Messiah has arrived, first plant the sapling and then go out and greet the Messiah." An old Jewish story tells of a Russian Jew who was paid a ruble a month by the community council to stand at the outskirts of town so that he could be the first person to greet the Messiah upon his arrival. When a friend said to him, "But the pay is so low," the man replied: "True, but the job is permanent." Yet, the belief in a messiah and a messianic age is so deeply rooted in Jewish tradition that a statement concerning the Messiah became the most famous of Maimonides's Thirteen Principles of Faith : "And Ma'amin , I believe with a full heart in the coming of the Messiah, and even though he may tarry, I will wait for him on any day that he may come." In the concentration camps, it is reported that many Jews sang the

THE MESSIANIC ACTION COMMITTEE (MAC) led the fight against tux) proposed laws meant to make Messianic Judaism illegal in Israel, and both of these laws failed to become law in the land. Now, the MAC (under the name "Action Committee for Messianic Judaism" in Hebrew) has been officially recognized as an Israeli not-for-profit organization. This means that the government of Israel now officially recognizes Messianic Judaism! This is really incredible news! Now, because Messianic Jews have stood their ground, Israelis will be faced with a decision. Is whatever type of Judaism they practice (or don't practice) more true than our form of Judaism-Messianic Judaism? Recently, several books have been published describing Messianic Judaism in a rather positive light. A new book, written by a rabbi and yet to be published, describes Messianic Judaism as a branch of Judaism. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw a sketch of a seven-branch menorah that included our brand of Judaism along with Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, and others (see illustration). This book should be available later this year. Because the Messianic synagogue movement respects our Jewish heritage and upholds our national homeland, Israel, the Jewish community is beginning to show us favor. But this is not an entirely new thing.

77. The Rise Of "Messianic Judaism" Baruch HaShem is a messianic congregation located in Dallas, Texas. Is Yeshua the Messiah? Find information here. http://www.baruchhashem.com/resources/riseofmj.html

The Rise of "Messianic Judaism" by Peter Hocken The rise of Messianic Judaism in the late 1960's and early 1970's represents as much a new direction and a discontinuity with the "Hebrew Christian" movement as it represents a continuity. The change of title, expressed in the re-naming of the Hebrew Christian Alliance of America as the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America What happened to win over the Jewish believers in Jesus to the Messianic Jewish vision they had earlier been so loath to embrace? The following factors all seem to have played a definite role: (1) the impact of the Six-Day War of 1967; (2) the charismatic movement; (3) the Jesus movement and the student upheavals of 1968. the Israeli victory in the Six-Day War gave a new self-confidence to some Hebrew Christians with a sense of the importance of biblical prophecies concerning Israel. The Jesus movement that was outside the denominations saw many young Jews come to faith in Jesus, and this produced a notable influx of new young believers into the Young Hebrew Christian Alliance. Many future leaders in the Messianic Jewish movement came from this crop of new young believers. Developments within the Messianic Jewish movement in the USA As mentioned, the change from Hebrew Christian terminology to that of Messianic Judaism arose from an influx of mostly young new Jewish believers in Jesus and an impulse to form Messianic synagogues. Much of this new thrust was charismatic. The tensions inherent in the movement, especially concerning the degree of Jewish practice to embody, were augmented by the Evangelical-Charismatic tussle.

79. Messianic Judaism/Jewish Christianity messianic judaism/Jewish Christianity According to the constitution of the messianic Jewish (Hebrew Christian) Alliance they look to the One God http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/judaism/messiah.html

Messianic Judaism/Jewish Christianity Doctrines Messianic Jews/Jewish Christians adhere to certain Jewish practices while acknowledging Jesus (whom they refer to by his Aramaic name Yeshua) as the Messiah foretold in the Hebrew scriptures. Traditional Jewish practices observed by Messianic Jews/Jewish Christians are the Friday evening, lighting Shabbat candles, kiddush and wearing kippot during their service. The service includes the recitation of traditional Jewish prayers in Hebrew, although the words are amended to include Jesus. According to the constitution of the Messianic Jewish (Hebrew Christian) Alliance "they look to the One God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) as their sole divine authority and acknowledge the Tanach (Old Testament) and Brit Hadshah (New Testament) as the Word of God. They reject the authority of Rabbinical literature. They accept Messiah Yeshua as their personal saviour. They believe in the atonement which he wrought once and for all by His death and His resurrection, and acknowledge Yeshua as the promised Messiah. They have to make public confession of their faith." People of Jewish parentage who share their beliefs are entitled membership; non-Jewish believers, however, are only entitled to associate membership. History The earliest Christians were Jewish Christians whose missions were directed towards the Jews. In spite of St Paul's teaching that observance of the Jewish law was not required for Gentile converts to Christianity, some Jewish Christians continued to insist on the observance aspects of the Jewish law such as abstaining from the consumption of pork and taking ritual baths. These groups were subsequently marginalised as heretics and were in the most part either absorbed into Jewish sects, such as the Zadokites or the Essenes, or into Gentile churches. By the fourth century there were almost no distinctively Jewish congregations left.
