Ari Levitt (tywl yra) is the shem kodesh of
Messianic Pastor/Theologian

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 Apostolic Scriptures (also known as B'rit Hadasha,
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.
