A Passover Haggadah for Jewish Believers

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Don't believe everything you read... this book is as important for Gentile believers as Jewish ones! Any believer in Jesus who has partaken of “communion” will find the Jewish background of that sacrament not only fascinating and edifying, but a tremendous way to share one's faith as well! The book gives a step-by-step explanation of the Jewish Passover seder, interspersed with New Testament passages that pull together all the biblical references to the “Last Supper.”

What the Bible Teaches About Israel: Past, Present, and Future

An Abridged Version of Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Anyone who reads the Bible will soon realize that the Jewish people are the apple of God's eye. Israel, they will quickly see, is the centerpiece of divine, prophetic activity. Since God's Word places such an emphasis on this tiny nation, it seems only logical that the question of Israel is central for a proper understanding of the Scriptures. Some may ask: Hasn't the church replaced Israel? Aren't all born-again believers in Messiah Jesus "spiritual Jews"? Questions like these may only be answered on the basis of a proper systematic theology, one that includes a biblically developed Israelology. This work investigates four approaches to the theology of Israel past, present, and future, and scrutinizes beliefs that tend to confuse the identities of both Israel and the church.

The work is based on the author's dissertation titled, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology and published by Ariel Ministries. The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a "tremendous, masterful book. Amillennialism, postmillennialism, and other forms of covenant theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them." The abridged version focuses on the heart of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's dissertation and offers a revised and updated text as well as charts and illustrations to enhance the understanding of this important study.

When Your Face Was Your Destiny: The Fruchtenbaum Family Story as told by Holocaust Survivors

by David S. Turner

To read “When Your Face Was Your Destiny” is to join the harrowing journey of a family through their ordeal as Poland collapses at the start of World War II, and in a sense to experience the Holocaust personally, the way it occurred in Eastern Europe. The account has been woven together deftly by David S. Turner from the testimonies of surviving members of the extended Fruchtenbaum family. The well-honed narrative of this Holocaust story brings the reader into the lives of the Fruchtenbaum family in their hometown of Pultusk, Poland, just before the effects of World War II begin to unload like a run-away freight train. By such an excellent depicting of this close-knit, intelligent, and sensitive family during peacetime, we are quietly drawn into the picture.

Then comes the unimaginable: the brutal invasion of the Nazis as the government of Poland buckles under. Each anecdote of the ever-uncertain flight from danger to safety reveals the tortuous decisions thrust on the Fruchtenbaum family during the crises. Their most disappointing shocks are the continued outpouring of hatred from fellow countrymen as well as from those along their emigration routes, and the extreme difficulty and length of time it takes to get to safety. Ntable exceptions where people helped sacrificially are gratefully remembered. The five main family members telling their stories eventually reach Israel, and others in the family later immigrate to the United States. In the aftermath, they discuss with great pain the decisions they were forced to make, and the resulting losses. Their honest accounts are extremely moving. Appendices provide family photos and documentation. Undoubtedly, this book will help the reader understand the lasting scars that survivors carry, which can endure as spiritual roadblocks.

Author David S. Turner survived “The Blitz” on London as a boy during the 1940s, and his family supported Jewish escapees from Nazi Germany who fled to the United Kingdom. He has lived for the last twelve years in the north of Holland, not far from the former Kamp Westerbork. The care taken to describe the relationships in the family and the dynamics that gave the family strength to endure the unbearable shows that the choice of authorship is worthy. When Your Face Was Your Destiny is one more testimony to the fact that character, ingenuity, and loving relationships make a difference even during the worst of times. David S. Turner has been married to Ina Jumelet for 54 years, and both have Huguenot ancestry. They have three grown children, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

ARIEL'S HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS

(Based on "A Harmony of the Gospels" by A.T. Roberston)

Description: When the theologian and Bible scholar Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum developed his teaching on the life of the Messiah from a Jewish perspective, he used A. T. Roberton's Harmony of the Gospels as a basis for his studies. However, he deviated from Robertson's work whenever the scholar chose not to follow Luke's sequential order of Messiah's life and ministry. Furthermore, Dr. Fruchtenbaum chose a thematic, not a geographical, approach to establish a coherent chronology of the events depicted in the four Gospels.

The basic translation used in the American Standard Version of 1901. However, the archaic language has been modernized, and the names of persons and places were transliterated in accordance with Hebrew pronunciation. The result of these changes to Robertson's harmony have now been compiled by Dr. Fruchtenbaum and Jan Marek Kopytek in Ariel's Harmony of the Gospels, a work that clearly shows the Jewishness of the Messiah's life, actions, and words.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - vol. 2

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Who Do You Say That I Am?

The second volume of this multivolume commentary on the Gospels opens with the beginning of Yeshua's public ministry. It analyzes the role His miracles were to play as signs to Israel ‚ to bring the Jewish people to the point of decision about His Messianic claims and proclamations. The work moves on the dealing with Yeshua's authority over, conflict with, and repudiation of Pharisaic Judaism, which led to the rejection of His Messiahship. It is in this context that a specific generation of Israel became guilty of the unpardonable sin. This is followed by Yeshua's new focus on the training of His disciples for the work they would need to conduct in light of the rejection ‚Äì the kind of work they would be performing in the book of Acts. This volume concludes with Yeshua's journey to Jerusalem in preparation for the Feasts of Tabernacles.

He is the founding director of Ariel Ministries and a much respected biblical authority in evangelical and messianic circles.

"Volume 2 of Arnold Fruchtenbaum's study about Yeshua takes us deep into the Second Temple and rabbinic Jewish background that helps to explain this unique first century figure. It is a fascinating journey with many details that illuminate the life of the Messiah of Israel. While one might raise a question here and there, Fruchtenbaum is fair always showing what the discussion at any point is. His full citing of Jewish texts allows the reader to see the direction of the conversation. This book is full of important observations about Jesus in a Jewish context. It is well worth the time of a careful read and will be a handy resource for a long time to come." — Darrell Bock (Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Howard G.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol.3

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Not my will, but Yours, be Done.

In the third volume of this multivolume commentary on the Gospels, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum delves into the last six-month period of the life of Messiah, from the Feast of Tabernacles to the agony of Gethsemane. During this time, the multitudes began to accept the Pharisees' explanation that Yeshua was able to perform unique miracles because He was demon possessed. The volume covers the third messianic miracle ‚Äì the healing of a man born blind. It moves on to the most extensive prophetic discourse of the King and to the observance of the last Passover. The work concludes with the agony of Gethsemane, during which Yeshua fought one of His greatest spiritual battles, as Satan made one more attempt to keep Him from the cross.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol.4

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

IT IS FINISHED.

Tetelestai. The Gospels record that this was the last word Yeshua spoke from the cross. When the Messiah uttered it, He proclaimed that He had accomplished what He came for: He had paid the debt mankind owed God the Father-the debt of sin.

No single event in human history has received more scrutiny than the suffering and crucifixion of Yeshua. In the fourth volume of this work, Dr. Fruchtenbaum meticulously analyzes Messiah’s final days, beginning with His arrest and culminating in His ascension. As he did in the previous volumes, the author places the events in chronological order. The basis of this order is the Gospel accounts themselves and what is known about first-century Jewish culture through historical and rabbinical records. The work also includes a collection of sequels from the books of Acts and Hebrews, and other relevant writings. Additionally, this volume contains an epilogue which surveys the history of the Messianic movement, thus concluding this comprehensive work on the life of Messiah from a Jewish perspective.

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Croatian translation of “The Law and Legality”

Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum započinje svoju knjigu osnovama teologije usporedujući Mosjsifev Zakon i Mesijin Kristov Zakon. Zatim pokazuje kako je poslije pismoznanca Ezre došlo do razvitka i uspostave židovskih zakonitosti koje su bile temelj konflikta izmedu Mesije (Isusa Krista) i farizeja. Težište je posebno stavljeno na "Propovije na gori". Izlaganje se nastavlja Koncilom iz Djela apostolskih 15 i zaključcima istog oko praktićnih pitanja važnih i za današnje probleme u krščanske zajednicama kao npr, problem "legalizma" u raznim denominacijama. Ovu vrlo poučnu knjigu zaokružuje zadnje poglavlje pod naslovom "Sto je duhovni život".

Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum roden je u Rusiji nako što su mu roditelji bili pušteni iz komunistićkog zatvora. Uz pomoć izraelskog podzemlja, obitelj mu jue uspjela pobječi kroz Zeljeznu zavjesu. Fruchtenbaum je od 1947. do 1951. godine u Njemačkoj primio ortodoksno židovsko obrazovanje.

Бог в затмении: Как долго Он будет молчать

Джон Б. Метцгер

Неужели Бог умер во время Холокоста вместе с евреями!? Если Он не умер, то почему же Он так далёк от Своего народа, Израиля? Почему Он молчит? Почему евреи так много страдали на протяжении столетий? Какая основная мысль Писания и почему Бог открывал Своё Слово через Моисея и пророков в течение многих веков?

Эта книга адрессована евреям, но независимо от того еврей вы или нет, она даёт понимание истины, которую Бог хочет открыть вам и всему человечеству. Бог хотел, чтобы сыны Авраама сообщили эту истину всем народам и те узнали о Боге Израиля и уверовали в Него. Бог поручил евреям стать нацией священников и быть посредником между Богом и народами. Однако евреи забыли о послании, которое Бог поручил им донести всем народам. Так как Израиль не выполнил своё предназначение и в непослушании удалился от Него, то Бог сокрылся от своего народа в «затмении». В этой книге вы узнаете основную мысль Писания и как удалить «затмение», которое скрывает от вас лицо Божие.

Israel's Only Hope: The New Covenant

by John B. Metzger

What is the New Covenant? In Jewish and Christian circles this subject will get a blank expression and a movement of the shoulder saying, "I don't know anything about it." Both Jewish and Christian audiences have a very inadequate understanding of this covenant. Jewish people do not understand it because they are completely focused on Rabbinic Law and do not understand that the law only judges and condemns a sinner, it does not remove sin. Whereas, the New Covenant gives everlasting life. It does what the Law was incapable of doing. Most church going Christians are aware of the term New Covenant, yet they have little understanding of the ramifications of the New Covenant to the church. The New Covenant is a Jewish Covenant, the church does not own it or possess it for themselves, it is a Jewish covenant! Yet the New Covenant literally echoes off of every page of the New Testament whether it was written by Paul, Peter, James or John.

After reading this book you will have biblical understanding but even more important a spiritual understanding of your place in the Messiah and God's fulfillment of all the eternal covenants made with Israel that He will fulfill in the Kingdom. This will give you a biblical understanding of what the Messiah of Israel did on the tree [cross]. The New Covenant is the glue that puts together the Abrahamic, Land, Davidic and New Covenants and wraps them all around the person of Yhua [Jesus] the Messiah. Come with me and follow this covenant through the Hebrew Scriptures into the New Testament.

Commentary Series: Judges & Ruth (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

In his action-packed, culturally relevant exegesis of the Book of Judges, Dr. Fruchtenbaum opens a portal where formerly unfamiliar names and places come alive with meaning. Armies clash, heroes rise, and human affection for other gods multiplies with soul-numbing impact. We see in his exegesis of the Book of Ruth a contrasting, in-depth picture of life among the true believers living in Bethlehem during this ancient time.

These two history books are set in the time when Israel was in the Land but not yet a unified nation. Although God continues to hear the cry of the children of Israel each time they fall away and face turmoil, they fall ever further into spiritual blindness because of their disobedience. Eventually, even the spiritual leaders become immune to their own glaring indifference to God's Word. In all, God sent twelve Judges to save the children of Israel. Seven of these Judges are treated in detail as Israel goes through each cycle of apostasy, oppression, repentance, and salvation by a Judge.

The Book of Ruth, an appendix to the Book of Judges, presents enormously touching portraits of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. They are pictured as part of the faithful community of Messianic Jewish believers of their own time, worthy ancestors of King David and the promised King Messiah yet to be revealed.

Commentary Series: The Book of Genesis

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

In structure, the Book of Genesis is a series of eleven family histories, or toldots, compiled and edited by Moses. Throughout the vivid detail provided in Genesis, Dr. Fruchtenbaum's exegesis allows God's Word to make its own case for a literal interpretation of the Bible. Dr. Fruchtenbaum's grammatical, historical-geographical approach to Scriptures from a Jewish perspective provides the reader an exciting new way to grasp and unlock the richness of this book of the beginnings of all nations, and in particular, the beginning of the nation of Israel.

For instance, Dr. Fruchtenbaum brings to life the many genealogies in Genesis as they relate to God's promises of a Messiah. Genesis makes clear the Messiah would one day come out of Israel to redeem the nation of Israel and to bless all the families of the earth.

Important to understanding one's relationship to God, Genesis presents four of God's eight covenants. Three are covenants God made with humanity in general, and these are associated with the familiar stories of Creation, the Fall, and the Flood. The fourth one, an unconditional covenant with Abraham, is the beginning of the story of the nation of Israel, based on God's promises of descendants and Land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The account of the nation of Israel that Moses begins in Genesis, he then continues in the four books of the Bible that follow.

Commentary Series: The Messianic Jewish Epistles E-Book (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Of the twenty-one epistles in the New Testament, five were written to Jewish believers dealing with their specific needs and issues in mind. There are things in these epistles applicable to all believers, but some are true only of Jewish believers. The epistles are Hebrews, James, I & II Peter, and Jude.

The first century Messianic Jewish community was faced with two major problems: persecution and false doctrine. To deal with the first problem of persecution, Hebrews, James, and I Peter were written. Persecution took place both within the Land of Israel and among the Jewish believers of the Diaspora, Diaspora - being a technical term for Jews living outside the Land of Israel (e.g., James 1:1; I Peter 1:1). The book of Hebrews was written from within the Diaspora in order to deal with the persecution of Jewish believers in the Land of Israel. The epistles of James and I Peter were written in order to deal with the persecution of Jewish believers in the Diaspora; James written from within the Land of Israel, and I Peter written from within the Diaspora itself.

To deal with the second problem of false doctrine, two other epistles were written: II Peter and Jude. Second Peter was written from one part of the Diaspora to Jewish believers in another part of the Diaspora. Jude was written from within the Land of Israel to Jewish believers in the Diaspora.

Mesijin Život iz Životidovske Perspektive

Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Croatian translation of "The Life of Messiah from a Jewish Perspective"

Ješua je rođen u židovskoj kući u židovskoj zajednici. Kao dječak u Nazaretu, pohađao je židovsku sinagogu gdje je napamet naučio židovska Pisma. "Rastao je u mudrosti, i milosti pred Bogom i ljudima" Nikad se nije zaputio izvan obećane zemlje židovskih patrijarha. On je bio kršten od posljednjeg od starozavjetnih židovskih proroka. Svoju zemaljsku službu proveo je među židovskim narodom. On je razapet, pokopan, a onda uskrsnuo te pružio dokaz o njegovoj otkupiteljskoj snazi najprije Židovima, pa onda Grcima.

Povijest misije Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum posvećena je istraživanju i objašnjavanju Života Mesije iz židovske perspektive kako Židovima tako i poganima da stave svoju vjeru u našeg židovskog Mesiju. Mesije Život iz židovske perspektive prikazuje Ješuu u Njegovom ispravnom židovskom kontekstu kao dugo očekivanog židovskog Kralja i Spasitelja svijeta.

Svih devetnaest sati ove neusporedive serije nedavno zabilježene su na Teološkom fakultetu, i dr Fruchtenbaum nikada nije učio učinkovitije. Svaka crkva, zajednica, Kršćanska škola i dom sada mogu koristiti ovu novu Biblijsku studija za osvjetljavanje život i službu Ješua HaMaschiach, Isusa - Krista. Naša najdublja molitva je da ova serija potakne i osnaži učinkovito Tijelo Mesije i ispriča priču o našemu židovskom Mesiji za sve koji će slušati.

Dr. Fruchtenbaum gradi svoju studiju u svjetlu pravilnoga židovskoga konteksta na čvrstim temeljima A.T. Robertsona i na dokazanoj harmoniji Evanđelja.

Messiah in the Fall Holy Days of Israel - DVD

by Messianic Rabbi, Mottel Baleston

Over seven hours of solid Biblical teaching and concluding Q&A session, recorded live at our global headquarters in 2014.

Did God create a Calendar? Y, and it’s found in the 23rd chapter of Leviticus! God gave those Feast Days to Israel so that they might be reminded of His help for them. Each of the Fall Holy Days of Rosh HaShanah (The Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) and Chag Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles) point very specifically to aspects in what God has promised all believers through the person of Messiah Jesus.

The Rapture, the Salvation of Israel during the Tribulation, and the Kingdom Reign of Messiah Jesus on earth are all seen very specifically in these Holy Days that occur during September and October. Mottel charts out the entire Biblical calendar by means of a handout and PowerPoint presentation, and then focuses on the three Fall Feasts of Israel.

Actual items used in the Jewish High Holy Day services are demonstrated. The ‘Shofar’ (Ram’s Horn) is sounded, the Tallit (Jewish Prayer Garment) as worn by Messiah is displayed, a Torah Scroll is shown, and Mottel explains how all this points to the grace we have received through the finished work of Jesus the Messiah.

Print the course outline and handouts, and follow along with Mottel as he teaches the Word of God.

Approximate Running Time: 7.8 hours, on 5 DVDs (includes bonus CD containing handouts and PowerPoint slides).

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - vol.2 (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Who Do You Say That I Am?

The second volume of this multivolume commentary on the Gospels opens with the beginning of Yeshua's public ministry. It analyzes the role His miracles were to play as signs to Israel ‚Äì to bring the Jewish people to the point of decision about His Messianic claims and proclamations. The work moves on the dealing with Yeshua's authority over, conflict with, and repudiation of Pharisaic Judaism, which led to the rejection of His Messiahship. It is in this context that a specific generation of Israel became guilty of the unpardonable sin. This is followed by Yeshua's new focus on the training of His disciples for the work they would need to conduct in light of the rejection ‚Äì the kind of work they would be performing in the book of Acts. This volume concludes with Yeshua's journey to Jerusalem in preparation for the Feasts of Tabernacles.

Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum holds a B.A. degree from Cedarville University in Hebrew and Hellenistics, a Th.M. degree in Hebrew and Old Testament Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, and received his Ph.D. from New York University with the completion of his dissertation, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology. He is the founding director of Ariel Ministries and a much respected biblical authority in evangelical and messianic circles.

"Volume 2 of Arnold Fruchtenbaum's study about Yeshua takes us deep into the Second Temple and rabbinic Jewish background that helps to explain this unique first century figure. It is a fascinating journey with many details that illuminate the life of the Messiah of Israel. While one might raise a question here and there, Fruchtenbaum is fair always showing what the discussion at any point is. His full citing of Jewish texts allows the reader to see the direction of the conversation. This book is full of important observations about Jesus in a Jewish context. It is well worth the time of a careful read and will be a handy resource for a long time to come." — Darrell Bock (Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Howard G.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

During His ministry to the Jewish people, Yhua (Jesus) journeyed throughout the land promised to the Jewish patriarchs, presenting Himself to the Jews as their Messiah. He was a Jew living in a Jewish land among the Jewish people, yet, much of the knowledge of this Jewish society, its culture, and traditions has grown dim with the passage of time. In this work, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum shines a bright light on the life of Yhua and the land of Israel during the Second Temple period, interpreting the Gospels from a Messianic Jewish perspective. To achieve this, Dr. Fruchtenbaum has done original research in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek source texts, and has also drawn on the works of other scholars and the writings of the ancient rabbis. A. T. Robertson's time-tested A Harmony of the Gospels provides the framework for his exegesis.

In the first volume of this multivolume commentary on the Gospels, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum begins his detailed exegesis of the life of the Messiah by providing in-depth background information on the Second Temple period. He then covers the birth, childhood, and adolescence of Yhua up to the point when He begins His public ministry.

Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum holds a B.A. degree from Cedarville University in Hebrew and Hellenistics, a Th.M. degree in Hebrew and Old Testament Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, and received his Ph.D. from New York University with the completion of his dissertation, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol.4 (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

IT IS FINISHED.

Tetelestai. The Gospels record that this was the last word Yeshua spoke from the cross. When the Messiah uttered it, He proclaimed that He had accomplished what He came for: He had paid the debt mankind owed God the Father-the debt of sin.

No single event in human history has received more scrutiny than the suffering and crucifixion of Yeshua. In the fourth volume of this work, Dr. Fruchtenbaum meticulously analyzes Messiah’s final days, beginning with His arrest and culminating in His ascension. As he did in the previous volumes, the author places the events in chronological order. The basis of this order is the Gospel accounts themselves and what is known about first-century Jewish culture through historical and rabbinical records. The work also includes a collection of sequels from the books of Acts and Hebrews, and other relevant writings. Additionally, this volume contains an epilogue which surveys the history of the Messianic movement, thus concluding this comprehensive work on the life of Messiah from a Jewish perspective.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol. 3 (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Not my will, but Yours, be Done.

In the third volume of this multivolume commentary on the Gospels, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum delves into the last six-month period of the life of Messiah, from the Feast of Tabernacles to the agony of Gethsemane. During this time, the multitudes began to accept the Pharisees' explanation that Yeshua was able to perform unique miracles because He was demon possessed. The volume covers the third messianic miracle ‚Äì the healing of a man born blind. It moves on to the most extensive prophetic discourse of the King and to the observance of the last Passover. The work concludes with the agony of Gethsemane, during which Yeshua fought one of His greatest spiritual battles, as Satan made one more attempt to keep Him from the cross.

Fruchtenbaum holds a B.A. degree from Cedarville University in Hebrew and Hellenistics, a Th.M. degree in Hebrew and Old Testament Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, and received his Ph.D. from New York University with the completion of his dissertation, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology.

Messiah Yeshua, Divine Redeemer: Christology from a Messianic Jewish Perspective (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

C&S Volume 3: The Come and See series is a multi-volume collection of Messianic Bible Studies transcribed from Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum's original radio broadcasts. Each study is a solid foundation upon which you can stand or from which you can teach. The texts will edify you in your personal devotion or small group Bible study regardless of which topic you choose.

Volume 3 of Come and See is a comprehensive study of the Son of God. Dr. Fruchtenbaum's unique focus of looking at Yhua (Jesus) from a Messianic Jewish perspective adds a dimension to this field of systematic theology that is often missing in the church today. The author works his way through the Hebrew Scriptures and shows how the revelation of the Messiah gradually progressed to reveal a magnificent picture of the Deliverer to come. The study of the life of the Messiah and theologically relevant topics, such as the Incarnation and the Crucifixion, profits from this Jewish frame of reference as well. The questions and study suggestions at the end of the chapters will challenge anyone who desires to dig deeper into the Word of God.

Faith Alone: The Condition of Our Salvation E-Book (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

An exposition of the Book of Galatians and other relevant topics.

Exactly what must one do to receive eternal life? The answer should be easy for Bible believing followers of Messiah, but too many believers think they can and need to add to their salvation some kind of work. Salvation by grace through faith seems inadequate.

In Faith Alone, Arnold Fruchtenbaum expounds on the necessary condition of salvation. He compares the Law of Moses with the Law of Messiah and responds to those who contend that salvation is earned by works or obedience to the Law of Moses. By looking closely at Paul's arguments in his letter to the Galatians, Dr. Fruchtenbaum expounds the truth that salvation is indeed by grace through faith alone.

"After 30 years of involvement with our Messianic movement, I know we need this book! Confusion exists regarding Law and Grace, and the message of Messiah's Good News will be brought into clear focus for both Jewish and Gentile believers by this book." — Mottel Baleston, Messianic Jewish Teacher

"The title of this book, Faith Alone: The Condition of our Salvation, reflects the 2000 year old battle still raging concerning the understanding of the relationship between faith and works. What are the conditions toward salvation? What role does faith and works employ towards ones' salvation? Some have misunderstood the words of James and have erringly put him in opposition to Paul as concerning this fundamental teaching; Dr. Fruchtenbaum demonstrates that both of these New Testament writers spoke under the same Spirit. His exceptional linear exposition on this subject will clarify this deeply important doctrine." — Jacques Isaac Gabizon, Pastor, Leader of Beth Ariel Messianic Congregation, Montreal, Quebec

Based upon Messianic Bible Studies: The Book of Galatians, The Law of Moses and the Law of Messiah, The Conditions of Salvation, and The Lordship of the Messiah (purchased here individually), this fully revised volume beautifully unifies the theme of "faith alone" from the book of Galatians and beyond, now with newly expanded material including answers to objections.

Ariel's Trials and Triumphs

The Unparalleled Faith Journey of Ariel Ministries

by L. Jesse Grace

Ariel's Trials and Triumphs may be understood as a sequel to Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum's biography, titled Chosen Fruit. While the latter predominantly depicted the personal life story of Dr. Fruchtenbaum, the purpose of this account is to present the inside story of Ariel Ministries itself. Founded in 1977, the ministry has had to exercise unparalleled faith and rely solely upon God for its support, from its inception. Throughout the years as a Jewish ministry, Ariel has experienced a series of trials and tribulations.

From the seed of one man's obedience, God shaped the growth of the ministry into a vast network of both Messianic and Gentile believers, with many international branches. The stories of how some of the branches got started truly reveal the power of God at work. Hence, this account attempts to chronicle the major achievements, progress, and events that took place within Ariel Ministries, bringing to the fore its exceptional faith journey since the beginning and God's enduring faithfulness to His flock.

Biography of Ruth with the Truth Wardell

by Ruth Wardell and Jeffrey Gutterman

Picture a beautiful patchwork quilt put together by good friends and you will understand and welcome this intimate portrait of Ruth Wardell, a passionate believer and friend of the Jewish people. Ruth tells her story with the help of author Jeffrey Gutterman and photos contributed for the special occasion of celebrating Ruth's life. Following Ruth's life story is to follow developments in the Messianic Jewish community that emerged during her lifetime from just a few congregations to a worldwide phenomenon. She is credited with leading Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum to faith in his Messiah, leading to the founding of Ariel Ministries and an international Bible teaching ministry and outreach to Jewish people.

Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum — Director of Ariel Ministries

“Ruth Wardell first came knocking on my family's door in 1957 when I was living on Blake Avenue in the Van Siclen section of Brooklyn, New York. She came in with a card in her hand that had been filled out about six years earlier. Miss Wardell's organization was a Jewish Christian group. In my mind, one was either a Jew or a Christian. How could one be both? I concluded that any Jew that believed in Christ had to be suffering from schizophrenia. Since I was having trouble resolving this contradiction I became angry.” Arnold was determined to prove her wrong about Jesus being the Jewish Messiah...

Dr. Michael Rydelnik — Moody Bible Institute, Professor of Jewish Studies

“Ruth was always taking us on trips. We would go canoeing in New Jersey. Ruth would load up two vans with kids and head out. She would drive the van down the highway with her knees while her hands were in the air as she led the group in a song. We didn't need the radio. We would just sing songs about Jesus. My earliest memories of Ruth were of a person who was bold, yet tolerant and understanding.”

Dr. Daniel Goldberg — International Ministries Representative for Chosen People Ministries

“Of all of the missionaries under my supervision in the California area of the Western District, Ruth excelled as a self-starter and exhibited great ability as a leader in winning many followers. She truly utilized her God-given talents as an excellent Bible teacher and friend to the friendless.”

Dr. Mitch Glaser—President of Chosen People Ministries

“I knew Ruth as a person who always rose above it all. She never had a bad word about anybody. She was always positive and encouraging. Ruth was an example during those years of someone who was faithful and someone whom I admired greatly.”

Dr. Paul Lee Tan — Paul Tan Prophetic Ministries, Inc. (PTPM)

“We feel that God has brought Ruth to our lives for a purpose. That purpose is to encourage me and my family in Christian service and to continue helping in the Chinese work in Dallas, as God enables. 'Ruth with the Truth' will always be a part of our family's spiritual heritage. We all thank God for raising up such an effective and humble servant of His in these Last Days.”

Moishe Rosen — Founder of Jews For Jesus

“I met Ruth Wardell in 1954 when she was with American Board of Missions to the Jews. Many teens she worked with looked to her for leadership well into their adult lives. I remember Ruth always set a good example.”

Chosen Fruit

The Personal Life Story of Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Founder and President of Ariel Ministries

by L. Jesse Grace

Known for his foremost scholarship and his in-depth knowledge of the biblical history and geography of Israel, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum has become one of the finest Bible exegetes of our time. The purpose of this biography is to present an intimate portrait of this scholar and teacher. His story will lead you through some of the most dramatic points of world history and take you on a journey around the globe. It is the story of a Jewish man who came to faith in his Jewish Messiah, embarked on a unique journey of servitude to his God, and impacted not only theologians, scholars, and church leaders, but everyday believers alike. Their progress to maturity, as well as the outreach to his Jewish people, is what has kept Dr. Fruchtenbaum going for nearly five decades of ministry—to God’s glory and for the salvation of Israel.

“The teaching ministry of Dr. Fruchtenbaum has impacted me for over 30 years. When I left my training at Dallas Theological Seminary and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in the early 1980s, I was confused as to how to put together the academic and cultural information I had received from these two different perspectives… When I discovered Dr. Fruchtenbaum’s teaching, I found what I needed‚Äîsomeone whose academic training was similar to mine, had processed the biblical, Jewish, and Christian data, and had successfully navigated the conflicting theological perspectives within the messianic movement while maintaining a sound biblical Christology, dispensational hermeneutic, and a balanced view of Messianic Judaism and the local church…” — Dr. Randall Price (Distinguished Research Professor and Executive Director of the Center for Judaic Studies at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia)

Commentary Series: Judges and Ruth

by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

In his action-packed, culturally relevant exegesis of the Book of Judges, Dr. Fruchtenbaum opens a portal where formerly unfamiliar names and places come alive with meaning. Armies clash, heroes rise, and human affection for other gods multiplies with soul-numbing impact. We see in his exegesis of the Book of Ruth a contrasting, in-depth picture of life among the true believers living in Bethlehem during this ancient time.

These two history books are set in the time when Israel was in the Land but not yet a unified nation. Although God continues to hear the cry of the children of Israel each time they fall away and face turmoil, they fall ever further into spiritual blindness because of their disobedience. Eventually, even the spiritual leaders become immune to their own glaring indifference to God’s Word. In all, God sent twelve Judges to save the children of Israel. Seven of these Judges are treated in detail as Israel goes through each cycle of apostasy, oppression, repentance, and salvation by a Judge.

The Book of Ruth, an appendix to the Book of Judges, presents enormously touching portraits of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. They are pictured as part of the faithful community of Messianic Jewish believers of their own time, worthy ancestors of King David and the promised King Messiah yet to be revealed.

Ha-Mashiach: The Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures

by Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Th.M., Ph.D.

Ha-Mashiach: The Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures (formerly entitled Messianic Christology, now freshly reformatted with an updated introduction) is a study of prophecy concerning the First Coming of the Messiah. Dr. Fruchtenbaum works his way through the Hebrew Scriptures and shows from The Law, The Prophets, and The Writings how the revelation of the Messiah gradually progressed and built-up to reveal a magnificent picture of the Deliverer to come.

When the messianic expectations of Hebrew prophecy are fully understood, it becomes clear who alone can fulfill these requirements.

Israel Betrayed - Volume 2: The rise of Christian Palestinianism

by: Paul R. Wilkinson

Published in two volumes Israel Betrayed is a tour de force in defense of God's eternal promises to the Jewish people. For two millennia, theologians and clergymen alike have claimed that the church has replaced Israel in the purposes of God. In volume 1, Andrew Robinson comprehensively surveyed the history of this theology. In volume 2, Paul Wilkinson charts and examines the rise of pro-Palestinianism in the church, showing how its proponents have internalized replacement theology and aligned themselves with Rome and Islam in their opposition to Israel.

Speaking for the American scene, I have observed the rise in anti-Semitism, sometimes disguised as anti-Zionism; the increase in anti-Semitic websites, which have revived old-world conspiracy theories; the denial of the Holocaust, with some people even finding a way to blame the Jews for the Shoah; and universities all across the United States demonstrating against the State of Israel. There has also been a massive spread of replacement theology (which I call "theological anti-Semitism") in many churches that were once strongly dispensational, and many Bible colleges and seminaries that once were clearly dispensational and pro-Israel have also been infested. For these reasons, I was delighted to read Israel Betrayed and decided that Ariel Ministries should publish this important work.

The first volume written by Andrew D. Robinson deals with the history of replacement theology. For decades, I have strongly felt that the rise of replacement theology‚Äîwhich later led to covenant theology (Calvinistic replacementism) and Lutheranism (Arminian replacementism)‚Äîwas not derived by an honest exegesis of the biblical text but was built on the foundations of anti-Semitism. I have seen this truth in scattered references but did not have the time to gather all the evidence. I have often encouraged seminary students, who were looking for topics for their dissertations, to pursue it, but none ever did. Pastor Robinson has accomplished this task, and I will be forever grateful for his contribution to the body of the Messiah. He was promoted to heaven not long after he put his work together, and we can praise the Lord that Andrew left us such an important and valuable work.

Robinson's research begins with the early church fathers and moves through history to the present, quoting what leaders of the church have said about the Jews. His findings show that anti-Semitism was and is not limited to Roman Catholicism, but includes the Eastern Orthodox Church and the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. Augustine, whose influence moved the church from pre-millennialism to amillennialism, derived his theology from his anti-Semitism, which could not permit a future kingdom with Israel's restoration. Therefore, I call replacement theology "theological anti-Semitism."

Robinson, thus, provides an excellent historical background to the second volume of Israel Betrayed, entitled The Rise of Christian Palestinianism. Authored by Paul R. Wilkinson (who served as Andrew's associate at Hazel Grove Full Gospel Church), the book deals with the rise of pro-Palestinianism in modern church history. We learn that Christian Palestinianism is not limited to the liberal wing of the church but extends even to the evangelical side. More and more church leaders have become clearly anti-Semitic while claiming to be "only" anti-Israel. Their anti-Israelism has moved them to support Islam and even hugging Muslim terrorists who are devoted to Israel's destruction. How quickly have such church leaders forgotten the common Islamic program: First, we kill the Saturday people, and then we come for the Sunday people!

The supporters of Christian Palestinianism have imbibed replacement theology, which led to theological anti-Semitism, and now align themselves with Islam in their animosity against the Jews. To understand replacement theology is to understand the rise of Christian Palestinianism‚Äîhence, the union of the two volumes of Israel Betrayed.

The book is long but well worth the effort to read. It prepares the believer for the spiritual battle that is fought over Israel and the Jewish people.

ISRAELOLOGY: The Doctrine of Israel - DVD

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Over nineteen hours of solid Biblical teaching recorded live at Chafer Theological Seminary in 2010. This course investigates four evangelical theological approaches to the issue of Israel. All four theological systems are defined, described and evaluated on the basis of their theology of Israel. The discussion of each system is divided into three broad categories: Israel Past, Israel Present and Israel Future. Each category investigates what each system has to say on certain key topics that are crucial to Israelology.

The first three systems of theology are all within the realm of Covenant Theology which uses an allegorical, hermeneutical approach to Israelology and Eschatology and teaches that the Church at some point becomes the new, or true, or spiritual Israel. They disagree among themselves as to exactly when the Church becomes Israel and, therefore, are divided into three major schools: Covenant Postmillennialism, Covenant Amillennialism, and Covenant Premillennialism. This course will show that because all three schools of Covenant Theology at some point confuse Israel and the Church, they cannot develop a full scale Israelology in their Systematic Theology.

The fourth system is Dispensationalism, which uses a literal hermeneutical approach to Israelology and Eschatology and insists on a consistent distinction between Israel and the Church, past, present, and future. Therefore, only Dispensationalism allows for a fully developed Israelology. However, this course will also show that Dispensationalism has thus far failed to do so, and in their Systematic Theology Dispensationalists have incorporated their Israelology into their Ecclesiology and Eschatology. This has resulted in Dispensationalism developing a very strong theology of Israel Future, and an adequate but not equally strong theology of Israel Past. However, its weakest point is a clear theology of Israel Present. Therefore, Dispensationalism needs to develop a complete Israelology this is a distinct and separate entity in their overall Systematic Theology detached from their Ecclesiology and Eschatology, though allowing for obvious overlaps.

In conclusion, Dr. Fruchtenbaum then systematizes Israelology on the basis of dispensational hermeneutics providing a comprehensive theology of Israel Present. This course also discusses other relevant topics that concern Israelology and, in conclusion, will show how Israelology affects and/or overlaps the other divisions of Systematic Theology.

ISRAELOLOGY: The Missing Link In Systematic Theology

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

This groundbreaking work is the first to create an entire systematic theology of all that the Scriptures say in regard to the people of Israel. As such, Israelology fills a tremendously neglected void, while affecting nearly every other segment of systematic theology and directly addressing a crucial point of division in evangelical theology today.

Dr. Fruchtenbaum's masterful book, written over a 13-year period to earn his Ph.D. from New York University, exhaustively surveys every aspect of Israel's past, present and future from the perspective of four major schools of theology (postmillennialism, amillennialism, premillennialism, and dispensationalism). Its far-reaching conclusion is that only the last, with its clear distinction between Israel and the church, can, in fact, provide a systematized biblical doctrine of Israel. But even dispensationalists, while organizing every other major scriptural theme from ecclesiology to soteriology to eschatology, have failed to develop a systematic theology of one of the Bible's most integral subjects, Israel. Until now . . . Israelology pioneers a fully dispensational approach to this topic, proving that it is central to a proper systematic theology and, thus, critical in terms of issues such as Messiah's return, evangelism, anti-Semitism, and ultimately, God's entire agenda for Jews and Gentiles alike.

The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a "tremendous, masterful book... Amillennialism, postmillennialism and other forms of Covenant Theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them."

Commentary Series: The Book of Genesis

by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

In structure, the Book of Genesis is a series of eleven family histories, or toldots, compiled and edited by Moses. Throughout the vivid detail provided in Genesis, Dr. Fruchtenbaum's exegesis allows God's Word to make its own case for a literal interpretation of the Bible. Dr. Fruchtenbaum's grammatical, historical-geographical approach to Scriptures from a Jewish perspective provides the reader an exciting new way to grasp and unlock the richness of this book of the beginnings of all nations, and in particular, the beginning of the nation of Israel.

For instance, Dr. Fruchtenbaum brings to life the many genealogies in Genesis as they relate to God's promises of a Messiah. Genesis makes clear the Messiah would one day come out of Israel to redeem the nation of Israel and to bless all the families of the earth.

Important to understanding one's relationship to God, Genesis presents four of God's eight covenants. Three are covenants God made with humanity in general, and these are associated with the familiar stories of Creation, the Fall, and the Flood. The fourth one, an unconditional covenant with Abraham, is the beginning of the story of the nation of Israel, based on God's promises of descendants and Land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The account of the nation of Israel that Moses begins in Genesis, he then continues in the four books of the Bible that follow.

Commentary Series: The Book of Daniel (epub)

by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

The book of Daniel, though one of the most intriguing prophetic texts in the Hebrew Scriptures, presents a comprehensive and chronological prophetic picture of the broad sweep of history. In this detailed exposition, Dr. Fruchtenbaum offers a fresh and coherent understanding of the prophecies in the book of Daniel. He examines the historical and cultural context of the book, its literary structure, and its theological themes. He explains how these prophecies relate to the history of Israel, especially in the context of the times of the Gentiles. He addresses alleged historical inaccuracies, considers the rabbinic interpretation as well as apocryphal additions, and offers a unique and convincing interpretation of Daniel’s seventy sevens. Numerous charts, tables, and maps give additional clarity to the text.

Whether you are a student of the Scriptures, a pastor, or a layperson seeking to deepen your understanding of biblical prophecy, this commentary will provide a clear and coherent exposition of the book of Daniel from a Messianic Jewish perspective, illuminating the prophetic message of this important book and its relevance for the history of this world.

Commentary Series: The Book of Romans

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

The epistle to the Romans is unique, being the first time in history that theology had been systematized in written form. The first eight chapters in Paul’s theological treatise deal with the theology of God’s righteousness. No human being can meet God’s standards of righteousness, yet He has provided righteousness through salvation in Yeshua the Messiah, which includes justification, sanctification, and glorification. Thus, the chapters end with Paul’s assurance that absolutely nothing can separate believers from the love of God.

Before going on to apply these truths to the believer’s life (chapters 12-16), Paul first addresses God’s righteousness in His relationship with Israel (chapters 9-11), for at the end of chapter 8, the believer might wonder what was to become of God’s many promises to Israel that had been laid out in the Hebrew Bible. Israel today is largely a people in a state of unbelief. It does not appear that God’s promises to His people were kept in Paul’s day, let alone two thousand years later. If this was or is true of Israel, how can the believer today trust that there is indeed nothing that can separate him from the love of God? If the gospel is for the Jews first, as Paul writes in Romans 1:16, why are so few Jews saved? How do Gentiles know they can trust God if His promises to Israel have not been fulfilled?

In this commentary, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum addresses these and other critical issues whose proper understanding can truly revolutionize any believer’s walk with the Lord. The author is the foremost Messianic Jewish scholar of this generation and is therefore well qualified to discuss the Jewish context of the epistle to the Romans. As a dispensational theologian, he offers his readers a truly unique commentary that draws them closer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Commentary Series: The Messianic Jewish Epistles

by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

Of the twenty-one epistles in the New Testament, five were written to Jewish believers dealing with their specific needs and issues in mind. There are things in these epistles applicable to all believers, but some are true only of Jewish believers. The epistles are Hebrews, James, I & II Peter, and Jude.

The first century Messianic Jewish community was faced with two major problems: persecution and false doctrine.

To deal with the first problem of persecution, Hebrews, James, and I Peter were written. Persecution took place both within the Land of Israel and among the Jewish believers of the Diaspora, Diaspora - being a technical term for Jews living outside the Land of Israel (e.g., James 1:1; I Peter 1:1). The book of Hebrews was written from within the Diaspora in order to deal with the persecution of Jewish believers in the Land of Israel. The epistles of James and I Peter were written in order to deal with the persecution of Jewish believers in the Diaspora; James written from within the Land of Israel, and I Peter written from within the Diaspora itself.

To deal with the second problem of false doctrine, two other epistles were written: II Peter and Jude. Second Peter was written from one part of the Diaspora to Jewish believers in another part of the Diaspora. Jude was written from within the Land of Israel to Jewish believers in the Diaspora.

Discovering The Mystery of The Unity of God

by John B. Metzger

Discovering the Mystery of the Unity of God provides an eye-opening exploration of the triune nature of God from the pages of the Old and New Covenants. The approach is reverent, yet encyclopedic, with each of the 19 chapters and 8 appendices being a self-contained look at various facets of the plural unity of God. The fully annotated text also includes a bibliography, author and Scripture indices, an epilogue addressing Jewish issues, and a glossary of terms. The reader may be surprised to discover that the great preponderance of references to God's triunity occur in the Old Covenant Scriptures. The author, John B. Metzger, considers each reference diligently, and brings along the commentary of a host of solid Bible teachers, including those from the Messianic Jewish perspective, to give the reader access to rich food for thought. This 936-page, unparalleled resource is the work of seven years, with references to Scriptures from almost every book in the Bible. Serious theology students, seminaries, and church libraries will benefit from this engaging tour of God's Word in search of new understanding of God's nature from the richness of the Bible's Jewish perspective.

“I was delighted and fascinated with what I found in this book. [John Metzger] has produced a very careful, exegetical study of not only the names of God, plural descriptions of God, but also he has given a strong case for the tri-unity of God in the Old Testament. Pastors and laypersons will find enormous help in discussions such as the angel of the Lord, the meaning of the great Shema in Deuteronomy 6:4, with a great discussion of the precise meaning of the phrase “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one.” This is a much-needed tool to correct and inform the dialogue between Christians and Jewish people as well as for Christians to understand better their own doctrine of the Trinity. This work should bring great blessing to the body of Christ everywhere.” — Walter Kaiser, President Emeritus, Gordon Comwell Theological Seminary

“Finally, a useful book on the Triune nature of God! For years both in sharing the Good News of Messiah and in planting messianic congregations, we've lacked a suitable book for teaching on this profound and essential doctrine of the faith. In both communicating to the non-believing Jewish community or in messianic discipleship there has been an evident and great need that is met by John Metzger's book.” — Sam Nadler, Leader of Hope of Israel Congregation, Charlotte, NC

“John Metzger provides not only comprehensive, biblical based theology of Trinitarianism but a magnificent apologetic work on this cardinal doctrine of the Christian Faith. Moreover, the irenic tone in which it is articulated is designed to build bridges of understanding to the adherents of strict monotheism of Judaism by demonstrating that the God... of their fathers is at the same time one God existing in three persons. Metzger's scholarly presentation of the biblical data is flavored by an evangelistic urgency that those who are so close and yet so far from the faith might become believers in the God of their fathers who is the Triune God.” — Eugene H. Merrill, Professor of Old Testament, Dallas and Southern Baptist Theological Seminaries

“The concept of the triune nature of the God of Israel, as taught even by the Hebrew Scriptures, has traditionally been the hardest thing for Jewish people to believe and accept. Often, no matter how well it is explained, Jewish people still tend to conclude that “Christianity” actually teaches the concept of three different gods. Even among some circles of Messianic Jews, this is a difficult teaching to accept and is also denied by some who affirm to believe in the Messiahship of Yhua (Jesus). While the New Testament does present the concept of the Trinity in a clearer manner, yet even many New Testament believers have a difficulty in explaining the concept in a way that does not cross the line from monotheism to tritheism. New Testament believers certainly affirm the concept but have a difficult time explaining it. So how does one explain the inexplicable? This is what John Metzger has zealously endeavored to do in this volume, and he has done a superb job in both expounding what both testaments teach on the subject and explaining it in a way that communicates to the uninitiated. While a complete understanding of the Three in One would not be possible this side of eternity, this work is one of the best I have seen in bringing out the clarity of Scripture on the subject.” — Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Founder and Director, Ariel Ministries

What the Bible Teaches About Israel: Past, Present, and Future (epub)

An Abridged Version of Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Anyone who reads the Bible will soon realize that the Jewish people are the apple of God's eye. Israel, they will quickly see, is the centerpiece of divine, prophetic activity. Since God's Word places such an emphasis on this tiny nation, it seems only logical that the question of Israel is central for a proper understanding of the Scriptures. Some may ask: Hasn't the church replaced Israel? Aren't all born-again believers in Messiah Jesus "spiritual Jews"? Questions like these may only be answered on the basis of a proper systematic theology, one that includes a biblically developed Israelology. This work investigates four approaches to the theology of Israel past, present, and future, and scrutinizes beliefs that tend to confuse the identities of both Israel and the church.

The work is based on the author's dissertation titled, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology and published by Ariel Ministries. The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a "tremendous, masterful book. Amillennialism, postmillennialism, and other forms of covenant theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them." The abridged version focuses on the heart of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's dissertation and offers a revised and updated text as well as charts and illustrations to enhance the understanding of this important study.

When Your Face Was Your Destiny: The Fruchtenbaum Family Story as told by Holocaust Survivors (epub)

by David S. Turner

To read "When Your Face Was Your Destiny" is to join the harrowing journey of a family through their ordeal as Poland collapses at the start of World War II, and in a sense to experience the Holocaust personally, the way it occurred in Eastern Europe. The account has been woven together deftly by David S. Turner from the testimonies of surviving members of the extended Fruchtenbaum family. The well-honed narrative of this Holocaust story brings the reader into the lives of the Fruchtenbaum family in their hometown of Pultusk, Poland, just before the effects of World War II begin to unload like a run-away freight train. By such an excellent depicting of this close-knit, intelligent, and sensitive family during peacetime, we are quietly drawn into the picture.

Then comes the unimaginable: the brutal invasion of the Nazis as the government of Poland buckles under. Each anecdote of the ever-uncertain flight from danger to safety reveals the tortuous decisions thrust on the Fruchtenbaum family during the crises. Their most disappointing shocks are the continued outpouring of hatred from fellow countrymen as well as from those along their emigration routes, and the extreme difficulty and length of time it takes to get to safety. Ntable exceptions where people helped sacrificially are gratefully remembered. The five main family members telling their stories eventually reach Israel, and others in the family later immigrate to the United States. In the aftermath, they discuss with great pain the decisions they were forced to make, and the resulting losses. Their honest accounts are extremely moving. Appendices provide family photos and documentation. Undoubtedly, this book will help the reader understand the lasting scars that survivors carry, which can endure as spiritual roadblocks.

Author David S. Turner survived "The Blitz" on London as a boy during the 1940s, and his family supported Jewish escapees from Nazi Germany who fled to the United Kingdom. He has lived for the last twelve years in the north of Holland, not far from the former Kamp Westerbork. The care taken to describe the relationships in the family and the dynamics that gave the family strength to endure the unbearable shows that the choice of authorship is worthy. When Your Face Was Your Destiny is one more testimony to the fact that character, ingenuity, and loving relationships make a difference even during the worst of times. David S. Turner has been married to Ina Jumelet for 54 years, and both have Huguenot ancestry. They have three grown children, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

<h1>Di-s en eclipse: Di-s no siempre ha guardado silencio </h1>

<h3>por John B. Metzger</h3>

<p>¿Murió Di-s en el Holocausto con el pueblo judío? Ya que no lo hizo, ¿por qué está tan callado con Su pueblo Israel y por qué han sufrido tanto? ¿Cuál es el tema de las Escrituras? ¿Por qué Di-s se tomó el tiempo y la molestia de tener Su palabra escrita por Moisés y los profetas?</p>

<p>Este libro está escrito para usted que nació judío, pero tanto si es judío como gentil, encontrará este libro muy útil para entender el tema principal que Di-s quería que el pueblo judío conociera. Él quería que los judíos nos transmitieran a nosotros los gentiles ese tema promario para que nosotros, como gentiles, conociéramos al Di-s de Israel y creyéramos en Él. El pueblo judío tenía un mandato de Di-s; debían ser una nación sacerdotal que actuara como mediador entre las naciones y Di-s. Sin embargo, Israel, el pueblo elegido, perdió de vista el mensaje que debían dar al mundo. Debido a que Israel no cumplió su propósito y caminó en desobediencia a Él, Di-s ha sido eclipsado de Su pueblo.

by: Andrew D. Robinson & Paul R. Wilkinson

Both volumes now as one digital epub file for one low price!

Israel Betrayed comprehensively surveys and refutes replacement theology and its modern-day manifestation, Christian Palestinianism. Published by Ariel Ministries, this work is a tour de force in defense and support of God's eternal promises to the Jewish people.

In Part 1, Andrew D. Robinson charts the history of replacement theology from the post-Apostolic period through to the close of the nineteenth century, covering in detail the early ecumenical church councils, the Crusades, the Dark Ages of Roman Catholic supremacy, the Protestant Reformation, and the history of the Jewish people in Britain.

In Part 2, Paul R. Wilkinson charts and examines the rise of pro-Palestinianism in the church, showing how its proponents have internalized replacement theology and aligned themselves with Rome and Islam in their opposition to Israel.

"Andrew Robinson and Paul Wilkinson have left no stone unturned in Israel Betrayed. Their shocking expos√© of the tragic results of anti-Semitic replacement theology is indicting, convicting, and challenging." Dr. Ed Hindson, Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA

"Israel Betrayed clearly labels individuals responsible for replacement theology and also shows what the Bible actually teaches about these matters. This work is highly recommended." Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Ariel Ministries, San Antonio, TX

"The research in this book is thorough and up-to-date, the arguments are compelling, and the numerous illustrations are interesting and relevant. Never has such a work been more needed than today." Dr. Mark Hitchcock, Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, TX

"Andrew Robinson and Paul Wilkinson have produced one of the most important books relating to the rise and development of the modern State of Israel." Dr. Thomas Ice, Pre-Trib Research Center, Kansas City, MO

"It would be presumptuous for any researchers and writers to attempt to survey, much less correct, the vast history of belief and tradition that has formed the interpretive ideas concerning Israel and the church, but that is precisely what the late pastor Andrew Robinson and historical scholar Paul Wilkinson have successfully done." Dr. Randall Price, Rawlings School of Divinity, Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA

The book is a tour de force that must be reckoned with by those who claim to be Christians while despising the Jewish people and the modern State of Israel. Dr. David R. Reagan, Lamb & Lion Ministries, Dallas, TX

Israelology: The Missing Link In Systematic Theology (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

One's view of Israel is key in determining one's theology, and this groundbreaking study scrutinizes beliefs that tend to confuse the identities of both Israel and the Church. It is the first to create an entire systematic theology of all that the Scriptures say in regard to the people of Israel. As such, Israelology fills a tremendously neglected void, while affecting nearly every other segment of systematic theology and directly addressing a crucial point of division in evangelical theology today.

Dr. Fruchtenbaum's masterful book, written over a 13-year period to earn his Ph.D. from New York University, exhaustively surveys every aspect of Israel's past, present and future from the perspective of four major schools of theology (postmillennialism, amillennialism, premillennialism and dispensationalism). Its far-reaching conclusion is that only the last, with its clear distinction between Israel and the Church, can, in fact, provide a systematized biblical doctrine of Israel. But even dispensationalists ‚Äì while organizing every other major Scriptural theme from the Church (Ecclesiology) to Salvation (Soteriology) to Last Days (Eschatology) ‚Äì have failed to develop a systematic theology of one of the Bible's most integral subjects, Israel. Until now ... Israelology pioneers a fully dispensational approach to this topic, proving that it is central to a proper systematic theology and, thus, critical in terms of issues such as Messiah's return, evangelism, anti-Semitism and, ultimately, God's entire agenda for Jews and Gentiles alike.

The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a "tremendous, masterful book... Amillennialism, postmillennialism and other forms of Covenant Theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them."

Isus je bio Židov

Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Doista, tko je bio Isus iz Nazareta? Sukobi oko odgovora na to pitanjevode se i dan-danas. Je li On bio samo "dobri učitelj"? Je li bio nekakav dobronamjerni, ali i zbrkani, vjerski zanesenjak? Je li bio učenik nekog drugog učitelja? Neovisno o tome što ćes ti odgovoriti na to pitanje, savršeno jedno je jasno - Isus je bio Židov.

Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, pisac knjige Isus je bio Židov, pokušava odgovoriti na gore navedena pitanja. U ovoj svojoj knjizi on dokumentirano iznosi mišljenja brojnih znamenitih židovskih voda, bavi se mesijanskom nadom i nadasve iskreno iznosi ono što Židovi prigovaraju u pogledu Isusa. U knjizi Isus je bio Židov nalazi se gotovo četrdeset ispovijesti kojima Židovi mnogih životnih usmjerenja i zanimanja - rabini, radnici, glumci, frizeri - govore o tome što oni vjeruju u pogledu lsusa.

To Live is Messiah: A Messianic Jewish Roots Commentary on the Book of Philippians

by Dr Richard Hill

The Lord has a powerful message of encouragement, joy and love for all believers in the epistle of Philippians. The theme is a simple one, "To Live is Messiah!" All born-again believers need to be living our lives for Yeshua! This means to give over all aspects of our lives to the Lord Yeshua. He needs to become our everything in all things. The Apostle Paul brings this message out as he pens Phil. 1:21, "For to me, to live is Messiah, and to die is gain."

Dr. Hill answers the difficult questions most believers do not want to ask: "Am I ready to suffer for Messiah? Am I ready to die for Yeshua? Can I fully give all areas of my life over to the Lord so He can have full control of me? Do I have a loving, servant attitude just like Yeshua does? How intimately do I know Yeshua and the power of His resurrection? Do I really need to conform to His sufferings and to His death? Is it possible to always rejoice in the Lord and be anxious for nothing?" Although the process of our transformation is a simple one, Dr. Hill warns, it does not mean it will be easy!

Dr. Hill's encouraging commentary is a great exhortation to reach for the next level of your walk with Yeshua as Paul concludes the letter in 4:13 with the almost seemingly impossible proclamation, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."

Ha-Mashiach - (epub)

by Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Th.M., Ph.D.

Ha-Mashiach: The Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures (formerly entitled Messianic Christology, now freshly reformatted with an updated introduction) is a study of prophecy concerning the First Coming of the Messiah. Dr. Fruchtenbaum works his way through the Hebrew Scriptures and shows from The Law, The Prophets, and The Writings how the revelation of the Messiah gradually progressed and built-up to reveal a magnificent picture of the Deliverer to come.

When the messianic expectations of Hebrew prophecy are fully understood, it becomes clear who alone can fulfill these requirements.

Do You Know?

That Chavah (Eve) mistakenly thought she had given birth to the promised God-Man?
That there are two distinct prophesies in Isaiah 7, one to the wicked king Ahaz and another to the whole house of David?
That Daniel 9 is only one of seven prophesies that insist upon Messiah's appearance on earth before a very significant historical event?
That the covenant recorded in II Samuel 7 refers to a different person than the parallel passage in I Chronicles 17?
Why Lamech believed his son was to be the Messiah?

Ha-Mashiach: The Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures is an absorbing study that will answer these and many more questions, strengthen your faith, bless your heart, and invigorate your worship of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Messiah Yeshua, Divine Redeemer: Christology from a Messianic Jewish Perspective

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

C&S Volume 3: The Come and See series is a multi-volume collection of Messianic Bible Studies transcribed from Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum's original radio broadcasts. Each study is a solid foundation upon which you can stand or from which you can teach. The texts will edify you in your personal devotion or small group Bible study regardless of which topic you choose.

Volume 3 of Come and See is a comprehensive study of the Son of God. Dr. Fruchtenbaum's unique focus of looking at Yhua (Jesus) from a Messianic Jewish perspective adds a dimension to this field of systematic theology that is often missing in the church today. The author works his way through the Hebrew Scriptures and shows how the revelation of the Messiah gradually progressed to reveal a magnificent picture of the Deliverer to come. The study of the life of the Messiah and theologically relevant topics, such as the Incarnation and the Crucifixion, profits from this Jewish frame of reference as well. The questions and study suggestions at the end of the chapters will challenge anyone who desires to dig deeper into the Word of God.

The Personal Life Story of Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Founder and President of Ariel Ministries

by L. Jesse Grace

Known for his foremost scholarship and his in-depth knowledge of the biblical history and geography of Israel, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum has become one of the finest Bible exegetes of our time. The purpose of this biography is to present an intimate portrait of this scholar and teacher. His story will lead you through some of the most dramatic points of world history and take you on a journey around the globe. It is the story of a Jewish man who came to faith in his Jewish Messiah, embarked on a unique journey of servitude to his God, and impacted not only theologians, scholars, and church leaders, but everyday believers alike. Their progress to maturity, as well as the outreach to his Jewish people, is what has kept Dr. Fruchtenbaum going for nearly five decades of ministry—to God’s glory and for the salvation of Israel.

“The teaching ministry of Dr. Fruchtenbaum has impacted me for over 30 years. When I left my training at Dallas Theological Seminary and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in the early 1980s, I was confused as to how to put together the academic and cultural information I had received from these two different perspectives… When I discovered Dr. Fruchtenbaum’s teaching, I found what I needed‚ someone whose academic training was similar to mine, had processed the biblical, Jewish, and Christian data, and had successfully navigated the conflicting theological perspectives within the messianic movement while maintaining a sound biblical Christology, dispensational hermeneutic, and a balanced view of Messianic Judaism and the local church…” — Dr. Randall Price (Distinguished Research Professor and Executive Director of the Center for Judaic Studies at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia)

Israel's Only Hope - (epub)

by John B. Metzger

What is the New Covenant? In Jewish and Christian circles this subject will get a blank expression and a movement of the shoulder saying, "I don't know anything about it." Both Jewish and Christian audiences have a very inadequate understanding of this covenant. Jewish people do not understand it because they are completely focused on Rabbinic Law and do not understand that the law only judges and condemns a sinner, it does not remove sin. Whereas, the New Covenant gives everlasting life. It does what the Law was incapable of doing. Most church going Christians are aware of the term New Covenant, yet they have little understanding of the ramifications of the New Covenant to the church. The New Covenant is a Jewish Covenant, the church does not own it or possess it for themselves, it is a Jewish covenant! Yet the New Covenant literally echoes off of every page of the New Testament whether it was written by Paul, Peter, James or John.

After reading this book you will have biblical understanding but even more important a spiritual understanding of your place in the Messiah and God's fulfillment of all the eternal covenants made with Israel that He will fulfill in the Kingdom. This will give you a biblical understanding of what the Messiah of Israel did on the tree [cross]. The New Covenant is the glue that puts together the Abrahamic, Land, Davidic and New Covenants and wraps them all around the person of Yhua [Jesus] the Messiah. Come with me and follow this covenant through the Hebrew Scriptures into the New Testament.

Commentary Series: The Book of Romans (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

The epistle to the Romans is unique, being the first time in history that theology had been systematized in written form. The first eight chapters in Paul’s theological treatise deal with the theology of God’s righteousness. No human being can meet God’s standards of righteousness, yet He has provided righteousness through salvation in Yeshua the Messiah, which includes justification, sanctification, and glorification. Thus, the chapters end with Paul’s assurance that absolutely nothing can separate believers from the love of God.

Before going on to apply these truths to the believer’s life (chapters 12-16), Paul first addresses God’s righteousness in His relationship with Israel (chapters 9-11), for at the end of chapter 8, the believer might wonder what was to become of God’s many promises to Israel that had been laid out in the Hebrew Bible. Israel today is largely a people in a state of unbelief. It does not appear that God’s promises to His people were kept in Paul’s day, let alone two thousand years later. If this was or is true of Israel, how can the believer today trust that there is indeed nothing that can separate him from the love of God? If the gospel is for the Jews first, as Paul writes in Romans 1:16, why are so few Jews saved? How do Gentiles know they can trust God if His promises to Israel have not been fulfilled?

In this commentary, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum addresses these and other critical issues whose proper understanding can truly revolutionize any believer’s walk with the Lord. The author is the foremost Messianic Jewish scholar of this generation and is therefore well qualified to discuss the Jewish context of the epistle to the Romans. As a dispensational theologian, he offers his readers a truly unique commentary that draws them closer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

O Jerusalem!

by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre

Nw a major motion picture, this remarkable classic recounts, moment by moment, the spellbinding process that gave birth to the state of Israel. Collins and Lapierre weave a brilliant tapestry of shattered hopes, fierce pride, and breathtaking valor as the Arabs, Jews, and British collide in their fight for control of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem! meticulously re-creates this historic struggle.

Collins and Lapierre penetrate the battle from the inside, exploring each party's interests, intentions, and concessions as the city of all of their dreams teeters on the brink of destruction. From the Jewish fighters and their heroic commanders to the charismatic Arab chieftain whose death in battle doomed his cause but inspired a generation of Palestinians, O Jerusalem! tells the three-dimensional story of this high-stakes, emotional conflict. Nw with a new introduction by Dominique Lapierre, O Jerusalem! remains, as ever, a towering testament to the fiery dawn of Israel and an unforgettable tale of faith and violence, of betrayal and indomitable courage.

“A monumental work!” — Cleveland Press

“Moving, fascinating, informative... N other book on this subject...comes close to O Jerusalem!” — Los Angeles Times

“It reads like a whodunit, and you turn page after page to see what happens next... The pace is so swift, the drama so heightened by alternating flashes of tragedy and comedy that one has to stop frequently to catch one's breath and marvel.” — The New York Times Book Review

“A remarkable book... a history that not only clarifies the military and political events of the war but brings its human dimensions vividly to life.” — The National Observer

“A story as dramatic, as miraculous, as full of wonders as any ever told.” — The New York Times Book Review

By John Metzger

Who in the world would want to poke the God of the universe in the eye? Ouch, that would hurt! Zechariah says, . . . for he that touches the apple [pupil] of His eye. God loves His people Israel and calls them the apple of His eye, a term of endearment, meaning that He loves them and protects them.

Does God mind if we poke His eye? He says that He does. When anyone harms His people Israel, He will harm them in kind. When anyone blesses His people Israel, He will bless them in return. He made that promise 4,000 years ago, and He has been faithful to keep it, from then until today.

Genesis 12:3: I will bless them that bless you and curse him that curses you.

This promise is part of God's eternal covenant with Abraham. Many people have forgotten this covenant or think that it is no longer in effect; but the Bible and human history show otherwise, as John B. Metzger points out in detail, giving detail accounts of blessings and curses from the Bible, inter-testament times, and recent history that proves this point. It does matter if we poke God in the eye! With discernment on what God's Word is saying, we can receive God's rich blessings instead of His cursings!

The Good News of Passover, Making Sense of the Jews - MP3

by Pastor Jacques Isaac Gabizon

Over five and one half hours of solid Biblical teaching, recorded live at our global headquarters in 2009. Professionally edited and divided into chapters corresponding to the teaching outline.

The Good News of Passover (Part One): In the Scriptures, much stress is put onto the Feast of Passover. It commemorates the birth of the nation Israel, a time when God gave the Israelites a new calendar, a new law to live by, and most importantly, a feast which strongly links the nation of Israel with her Messiah. Today this all important perspective has been lost. This teaching will both help the Jew rediscover his biblical origins and carry the Gentile believer back to the roots of the doctrine of redemption.

Making Sense of the Jews (Part Two): Is it possible for anyone to grasp the fundamental message of the Bible without considering one essential element that permeates throughout it, from Genesis to Revelation? Israel is found everywhere in Scripture and is not only connected with the Church's fundamental doctrines but is directly related to Jesus Christ who came from this nation. Today, while biblical Christianity has been salvaged by many godly men and women who were instrumental in bringing thousands to a saving knowledge, there still exists a great bias against the Jewish people. Jacques traces the history of Israel throughout its various dispersions and shows how it suffered and still suffers today in the hands of many true believers.

The Messiah in the Temple - DVD

by Dr. Roger Liebi

Over seven hours of solid Biblical teaching and concluding Q&A session, recorded live at our global headquarters in 2014.

Dr. Liebi’s “The Messiah in the Temple” is a profound work which uncovers the Second Temple sanctuary at Jerusalem during the time of Jesus Christ to clearly reveal astounding symbolism and its significant role in the New Testament. In this seminar, not only does Dr. Liebi share essential truths from his book, but he also discusses with crystal clarity the Third Temple as foreseen by the prophet Ezekiel.

“Roger Liebi has written the most extensive detailed but easy to understand work on the Second Temple, the Temple of Yhua’s Day. He describes every detail of the temple compound, its biblical and rabbinic practice, and its typology with the Person and Work of the Messiah. At the seminar he will give a vivid description of that temple that appears so frequently in the life of the Messiah and in the Book of Acts. I highly recommend all who are able to attend to do so and be ready for a great time of learning.” — Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Jerusalem in the year 30 is the religious center of Judaism. Join Dr. Liebi on a breathtaking walk through the streets of the Jewish metropolis and visit the Jewish Temple, the former architectural wonder of the ancient world. There you will experience an encounter with the Messiah Jesus from Galilee! Using a marvelous model of the Second Temple (based on the very latest archaeological excavations and discoveries on the Temple Mount) you’ll be introduced to the symbolism of the Temple in light of the New Testament, and many of places mentioned there will come to life before your eyes in a very vivid way:

The Portico of Solomon (Acts 5:12)
the Middle Wall of Partition (Eph. 2:14)
the Beautiful Gate (Acts 3,2)
the Gate of the Firstborn, where the child Jesus had been presented (Luke 2:22)
the Chel, where the twelve year old Jesus sat among the scholars (Luke 2:41)
the Pinnacle of the Temple (Luke 4:9)
the Portico of Treasury (John 8,20)
the place of Sanhedrin, where the trial of Jesus took place (Mat. 26:59)
and the steps of the northern Portico leading to the Antonia Fortress, where Paul gave his personal testimony (Acts 21:40).

On Tuesday evening before the crucifixion, Jesus Christ was on the Mount of Olives. In plain view of the Temple area, he gave an astonishing summary of the future of the Second Temple and the signs of the end times (Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21). The already since long time fulfilled prophecies about the destruction of the Temple give the clue to a correct understanding of the End time signs. Dr. Liebi answers the questions: Where do we stand today? Can we classify the current events in the prophetic panorama of the Holy Scriptures?

Approximate Running Time: 7.25 hours, on 6 DVDs (includes bonus CD containing PowerPoint slides).

The Messiah in the Temple:

The Symbolism and Significance of the Second Temple in Light of the New Testament

by Roger Liebi

The Second Temple — the sanctuary at Jerusalem during the time of Jesus Christ — plays a very significant role in the New Testament. Matthew to Revelation teems with references to this glorious edifice of Antiquity, yet many readers of the Bible do not understand terms such as “pinnacle of the Temple”, “the Beautiful Gate”, “Solomon's Porch”, “the Sheep Gate” and “the Sanhedrin”. These terms and many other features of the Temple area, are brought to life in this book and connected to the Messiah in a way that is refreshing and stimulating to our faith.

During the years 1967-2003 modern archaeology on the Temple Mount made huge progress and extended our knowledge of the Second Temple as never before. Dr. Liebe synthesizes these findings with all the passages of the NT that refer in some way to the Temple. The many pictures, illustrations, and diagrams help the reader to personally engage with and understand the eternal Messianic significance of this ancient structure.

Dr. Roger Liebi (born in 1958), is married with six children. He studied music, theology, and the languages of the Biblical world (Greek, Classical and Modern Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian). He has authored numerous publications and assisted in three Bible translation projects. He is currently an international lecturer and Bible teacher.

The Feasts and Fasts of Israel: Their Historical and Prophetic Significance

This work is devoted to those Jewish feasts and fasts that are observed on a yearly basis.

The introduction explores the historical background, function, and order of the Jewish calendar. This is followed by the first part of the book, which surveys the seven holy seasons of Israel. To set the stage, the sacrifices described in the book of Leviticus are presented, followed by an introduction of the holy seasons of Israel. Then, the festivals are studied one by one, beginning with Pesach and ending with Sukkot. The author explains how the holy seasons were to be celebrated in accordance with the Mosaic Law, how Rabbinic Judaism observes them, what their Messianic implications are, and how they have been or will be fulfilled in the Messianic program.

The second part of this commentary covers the post-Mosaic feasts of Israel, namely Chanukah and Purim. This is followed by a third part, which deals with Rosh Chodesh and Tisha B'Av, the minor Jewish feasts and fasts.

The commentary is based on Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum's decades of teaching and original research of the Talmudic source texts and the works of other scholars. Compiled and edited by Christiane K. Jurik, M.A., this work offers many practical graphs and illustrations which make it a helpful tool for those who seek to enhance their personal Bible study as well as for those who wish to prepare meaningful sermons and lectures.

The Footsteps of the Messiah Study Guide - PDF

by Jackie Sciascia and Laina Maher

Jackie and Laina's burning desire to teach the illuminating truths of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's landmark work on prophecy led them to develop this remarkable study guide. Years of effort by these longtime friends of the ministry have gone into the writing and refinement of this new resource. The study guide has been tested for more than three years, with over one hundred students in various classroom settings. Designed around a straight forward question and answer format, the guide works equally well for large, small, or even home groups. This downloadable PDF file allows the teacher or student to use their computer or other device to type in their answers, and then modify them at anytime following further study or class discussion. Student response has been enthusiastic:

"This is a great guide, makes Footsteps easy to understand..."
"Could not have done it without the guide..."
"Good questions, makes you think..."
"Love all the bullet points in the guide..."
"After taking this class using the guide, I have decided to lead a group out of my home."

A recent email comment from Debora C. in Montana:"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have taught Eschatology through three times (and am halfway through another class right now) using Footsteps as the primary resource. The best I could come up with was a hodgepodge of mismatched, seat-of-the-pants note guides to teach from. I'm always thinking 'I should carve out some time and make a workbook to minimize the amount of review I wind up doing.' Imagine my great delight when I logged on to Ariel.org and saw the new Footsteps Study Guide!"

If you are a group leader, this guide is an essential tool that will help you effectively communicate what the Bible teaches about what is yet to come. For personal study, this guide will prove invaluable to your grasp of the rich eschatological treasures awaiting discovery in Dr. Fruchtenbaum's "The Footsteps Of The Messiah."

The Footsteps of the Messiah - Revised 2020 Edition (epub)

by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

"The 2020 revision primarily focuses on correcting some formatting and spelling inconsistencies of the 2003-edition of this work as well as the editing of the text to improve its readability. Furthermore, it includes a new topical index as well as my altered view of II Thessalonians 2:3, which I developed after additional research of new scholarly work, such as Dr. Andy Woods' "The Falling Away - Spiritual Departure or Physical Rapture?", published in 2018 by Dispensational Publishing House."

Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum - March 2020

Using the Book of Revelation as an end time road map, Dr. Fruchtenbaum weaves the prophetic writings of the Hebrew Scriptures and Messiah's teachings to reveal God's plan for the future of Israel and the world. Dr. Fruchtenbaum gathers the many pieces of the prophetic puzzle and places them in sequential order with the result summed up by Dr. Charles Ryrie in his foreword: "Those who read this book cannot help but be instructed and stimulated by his work."

Footsteps is detailed, thorough and scholarly, yet written in a style that the average reader can easily understand. With a wealth of wisdom drawn from his Jewish background and extensive research, the author even tackles the "problem passages" to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire range of prophetic truth."In a thoroughly biblical, balanced, and clear presentation, Arnold Fruchtenbaum plainly lays out God's plan for the future while avoiding the sensational errors of other prophetic writers. I have relied on this book as a resource for years." — Michael Rydelnik, Professor of Jewish Studies Program, Moody Bible Institute
