Praise Yahweh for His Mercy.
We appreciate your dropping by.
Here is what our Logo stands for:
The two trees, which you see in our logo, are not meant to represent two houses with two separate covenants (one Ephraim representing Christians or Gentiles and the other Judah representing Jews), as some people suppose
and falsely teach. Yahweh has only one people and one covenant for all, Is. 56; Exod.12: 48-49; Lev.16:29; 17: 10-12.
There are no Jews, Greeks or Africans, we are all one in Yahshua, Gal.3: 28; Col.3: 11. We therefore do not divide Yahweh's people into Jews and non-Jews.
We categorically reject and
denounce this practice and
erroneous teaching as
encountered among many, too
many, Messianic Jewish
places. We do not advertise the so-called Jewish mother and father of a particular leader, which, when submitted to historical test, is proved to actually be nothing other than a descendant of Japhet (as in Ashkenaz,
Azhkenazi, Ashkenazim) or just another descendant of European converts,
going back to the days of
the empires of Greece and
Rome when it was customary to proselytize Gentiles, or from the Volga region in eastern Europe where a whole kingdom converted to Judaism in the 8th century A.D.
The two olive trees, on both sides of the
menorah, represent the beauty of Restored Israel with David their King, when both kingdoms, Israel (the
northern kingdom headed by Ephraim) and Yahudah
(the southern kingdom), now scattered, are brought back to the inheritance of their fathers, on the mountains of the Promised Land, Eze. 37: 15-25.
Israel shall grow like the
lily, and lengthen its roots
like Lebanon. Her branches
shall spread. Her beauty shall be like an olive tree, Hosea 14. Ezekiel's
vision portrays a physical
fulfillment of that event.
The most important reality is that the two olive trees are symbolical of the two Witnesses or "Anointed Ones, who stand before the Elohim of the whole earth", Zecha. 4: 11-14; the two Cherubim by the Mercy Seat, Exod.25: 18; they shall witness for 3 1/2 years, Revelation 11: 3. This leads us to Paul eschatological observation of the the fact that a wild olive is grafted onto the good olive tree, Rom. 11: 17, whereby Yahweh is bringing two people together, one that was called by His name, Israel, and the other that was not part of the
covenant, the Gentiles, Is. 58.
The golden menorah represents the only sign or symbol of Yahshua's Assembly given in the Bible, Revelation 1.
Messianic Hebrews do not combine a Cross with the star of David, a Menorah, and a Christmas tree.
Further explanation on the
Christian Cross is given at
Yahshua's People.
The Meaning of Our name:
Messianic: all baptized Covenant Keepers who profess faith in Yahshua Ha Mashiach, looking forward to His return and the new world to come. We are in that sense apocalyptic, for we are sure there is going to be a cataclysmic end of this age, at the end of which Yahweh will take over, 2 Peter 3: 7-10.
Hebrews: Abraham walked with Yahweh. He crossed over the Euphrates by faith, obeying Yahweh's call to come out from among the heathens; He kept Yahweh's commands, precepts and laws (Gen.26:5). He became a Hebrew. Thus any of the descendants of Abraham, from Ishmael to Jacob, and any others, regardless of ethnicity or "race", who crossed over from dead works to the Life-given Spirit in Yahshua (Romans 9: 7-8), having been washed in His blood, redeemed by Yahweh from the wrath to come, sealed by the Ruach, joined to Israel (Is.56:8) according to the Spirit; these are the true Hebrews.
International: meaning we extend the hand of friendship to one another in a spirit of unity and fervent love among all brothers and sisters, worldwide. We are an International Network of Congregations, all members of Yahshua's Body, that cooperate in the pursuit of one common goal as we fight a common battle against a common enemy.
