Ari Levitt ( tywl yra ) is the shem kodesh of Dr. Rickard (Ari) Levitt-Sawyer, and approximately translates to English as “Lion of the Tribe of Levi.” Except where otherwise specifically indicated, the opinions expressed on this website are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of MJAA, IAMCS, MBI, UMJC, or any other  organization or individual. If you disagree with my opinions, please CLICK HERE before contacting me about it. On that day, the “Root of Yishai,” Which stands as a banner for the peoples, the Goyim will seek Him out, and the place where He rests will be glorious. On that day Adonai will raise His hand again, a second time, to reclaim the remnant of His people who remain from Ashur, Egypt, Patros, Ethopia, 'Eilam, Shin'ar, Hamat, and the islands in the sea. He will hoist a banner for the Goyim, assemble the dispersed of Isra'el, and gather the scattered of Y'hudah from the four corners of the earth … There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who are still left from Ashur, just as there was for Isra'el when he came out from the land of Egypt. [Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 11:10-12,16 CJB]

Welcome to our website! In these uncertain times, all of us are all looking for something that we can count on, something that will give our lives and our families meaning and stability. We believe that the only “something” that will never fail is a SomeOne — Yeshua HaNatseret, the Lion of Judah, Israel’s Messiah, and the living Son of G-d. Find out about Him in the pages of the Bible, the only absolutely sure foundation upon which to build your family. [View our complete welcome page.]

Messianic Judaism is actually nearly 2,000 years old, dating back to the time of Messiah Yeshua. Yeshua was born into a Jewish home. He was raised in a Jewish family. His parents were Jewish, His brothers and sisters were Jewish. All His uncles, aunts, and cousins were Jewish. He grew up to become a Jewish rabbi who taught Jewish people in a Jewish land—Israel—about the G-d of Avraham, Yitz'chak, and Ya'akov (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: the Jewish patriarchs). Yeshua’s Shliachim (Apostles or Emissaries) were all Jewish. The writers of the B'rit Chadasha (Renewed Covenant Scriptures or so-called “New Testament”) were all Jewish, and for a long time (nearly 300 years) “The Faith” was almost exclusively Jewish. There were tens of thousands of Jewish people who believed that Yeshua was the Messiah in the first century following His resurrection (see Acts 2:37-42, 4:4, 21:20), and every single one of them lived and died still a Jew.

“Messianic Judaism really began to flourish in the year 1967. That was the same year that Jerusalem came back under the control of the Jewish people for the first time in almost 2,000 years. A coincidence? Absolutely not! G-d’s time for the Jewish people had begun. The age of the Gentiles (Goyim) was drawing to a close as prophesied in the New Covenant: ‘…Yerushalayim will be trampled down by the Goyim until the age of the Goyim has run its course.…’ (Luke 21:24)” [Neil and Jamie Lash, Messianic Judaism: Life from the Dead. Ft. Lauderdale, FL: Jewish Jewels, 2000, p.13.]

Today there are more than 250 Messianic Jewish congregations in at least 25 countries (with at least 60 congregations in Eretz Israel!) most of which are composed of both Jewish and non-Jewish people who believe in Yeshua as Israel’s Messiah and their personal Savior, who understand the Jewish roots of true Biblical faith, and who wish to express that faith through living a Torah-observant Jewish lifestyle.

“I pray … that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are united with me and I with you, I pray that they may be united with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. The glory which you have given to me, I have given to them; so that they may be one, just as we are one — I united with them and you with me, so that they may be completely one, and the world thus realize that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.” (Yochanan [John] 17:20-23, CJB)

Please note well: It is not our intent to belittle, unduly criticize, or “bash” anyone who may hold religious or political persuasions or opinions other than our own, nor is it our intent to cause any kind of division within the Family of G-d. Even though we may absolutely and totally disagree with your opinion, we will defend to the death your God-given right to hold it. We are not “anti-anybody”; we are only pro-Truth [click here for the definition of “Truth”]. We firmly believe that it can be proven with absolute certainty that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the revealed Word of G-d, and is the standard by which all knowledge and opinion must be judged. Information on this website that concerns non-Biblical religious beliefs is provided for the sole purpose of comparing those beliefs with the Revealed Truth of the Bible. We also attempt to demonstrate, for educational purposes only, just how far the true Body of Messiah has drifted away from its Jewish origins, and to provide a possible alternative view to that which I taught for nearly 30 years as a Baptist pastor. We earnestly await the return of Messiah and the “Restoration of All Things” as promised by the prophets. For more on this subject, please CLICK HERE.
