Welcome to Messiah Podcast—where Jesus is Jewish, and that changes everything. Dive into the heart of Messianic faith as we engage with top scholars, pastors, Messianic rabbis, musicians, and thought leaders shaping the conversation on Messianic Judaism and the Jewish roots of Christianity. Produced by First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), our mission is to deliver enriching Messianic education and reconnect disciples with God’s prophetic promises to Israel. Whether you’re exploring the Messianic Jewish perspective for the first time or deepening your faith, this podcast will illuminate the teachings and kingdom message of Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah.

The Bible is the foundation of our faith. Unfortunately, the languages of the Bible are no longer in common use, and the modern equivalents are different. Engaging with Scripture in its original languages should not be reserved only for the scholars; it's foundational for anyone serious about understanding God's Word deeply. Austin Curtin from Biblingo joins Messiah Podcast to share practical insights on how learning the Bible in its original language can transform our Bible study and spur on spiritual growth. 👉 Key Discussion Points: ► Mastering Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic offers a direct line to the text’s original intent, not just what translations suggest, much like reading original Shakespeare versus a translation. ► Reading in the biblical tongue preserves interpretive nuance, reshaping how we approach Scripture. This leads to a heightened level of personal engagement over blind acceptance of translations. ► Learning Hebrew and Greek isn't merely academic; it’s a sacred duty rooted in Scripture’s command to seek understanding of God’s Word. This reframes language study as an act of worship and obedience, enhancing your ability to discern truth. Learning Biblical Hebrew and Greek can seem daunting, but Austin convincingly shows how the effort is worthwhile, especially in a culture increasingly disconnected from its biblical roots. Whether through immersion, study tools, or community learning, accessing the original texts can enhance a person’s personal faith and theological clarity. 👉 Resources: Biblingo - Use code: TORAHCLUB10 for a 10% discount! https://biblingo.com/ 📚 BOOKS 📚 The Delitzsch Hebrew Gospels https://ffoz.store/products/the-delitzsch-hebrew-gospels-deluxe-edition-hardcover Besorot Tovot, The Four Gospels in Hebrew https://ffoz.store/products/besorot-tovot-deluxe-softcover 📃 Podcast📃 Music from God’s Word in God’s Language https://ffoz.org/messiah/podcast/music-from-gods-word-in-gods-language – Who is Messiah Podcast? –Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.

For centuries the church condensed the story of the Bible into one single narrative comprised of a simple, four-act structure. God created the world, humankind sinned causing the world to fall into disrepair, Jesus died for our sins and redeemed us, and in the future God will restore all of creation. But this narrative skips over everything that happens from Genesis 3 to Matthew 1. Dr. Kendall Soulen, renowned theologian and author, joins the podcast to share how Israel’s story is a key part of this larger biblical narrative and how losing that story makes our theology incomplete somehow. Listen in to discover how to reclaim the unity of the Bible by recognizing the same God at work in both the Old and the New Testaments. 👉 Key Discussion Points: ► Reframe the overall story-arc of the Bible. ► How supersessionism emerged and why it’s a persistent theological mistake. ► What is God’s personal name and what does it signify about His identity?► How Jesus exemplifies reverence for God's name and modeled a deep respect that Christians can emulate. ► Practical insights for pastors and believers on how awareness of God's name can transform your devotional life and church teaching. Whether you’re a student of theology, a church leader, or a curious believer, this conversation challenges assumptions and offers a fresh lens to interpret the Bible more faithfully. 📚 BOOKS The God of Israel and Christian Theology Irrevocable: The Name of God and the Unity of the Christian Bible Israel Matters 📃 ARTICLESIsrael ForgetfulnessA Blow to Replacement TheologyDismantling Replacement TheologyThe Biblical Blueprint of PeoplehoodIs the Church IsraelTo Proclaim My NameHallowed Be Your NameWhat's His Name🎙️ PODCASTSIs 1 Peter for Jews or Gentiles? | Dr. Kelly Liebengood A New History of Redemption | Dr. Gerald R.

The roots of modern Messianic Judaism extend farther back into history than the cultural expression that emerged out of the 1960s. It’s a story of pioneering faith, a few missed opportunities, along with overcoming fierce challenges. Dr. Gershon Nerel is a Jewish believer in Yeshua and a historian who joins Messiah Podcast from the messianic archive center on the outskirts of Jerusalem in Israel. He has spent decades studying the history of Jewish believers in Jesus. His research informs us regarding both the past and the future. Dr. Nerel’s insights challenge us to reconsider how history, identity, and faith intertwine for Jewish believers in Yeshua living in Israel today. 👉 Key Discussion Points:► The artifacts, archives, and personal stories that reveal the complex journey of Jewish believers in Yeshua. ► The rise and fall of key figures like Abram Poljak and the importance of stability and independence in movement growth.► The impact of political upheavals, such as Operation Mercy, on the survival of Hebrew Christians and Jewish believers in Israel.► "Messianic Judaism" vs. "Yeshua Judaism" and why the terminology matters.► The ongoing struggle to reconnect with biblical, independent expression of faith beyond church doctrines and denominational control.Gershon Nerel is a trailblazing historian with decades of research into Messianic Jewish roots in Israel whose work uncovers the overlooked and often suppressed stories of faith, exile, and revival. Step into the archives with us because the future of Messianic Judaism depends on knowing its past. 🔖 Chapters00:00 The History of Messianic Jews in Israel03:28 Research Journey and Primary Sources10:33 Establishing the Messianic Jewish Archive17:11 Key Figures in Messianic Jewish History24:02 Operation Mercy and it’s generational impact29:55 Emissaries not Missionaries34:39 Avram Poljak, A Courageous Pioneer43:51 The Tragic loss of Abraham's Vineyard49:56 The Current State of Messianic Judaism in Israel👉 Resources:Gershon Nerel’s ResearchBooks about Jewish Believers in YeshuaArticles:https://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/dr-gershon-nerel-speaks-at-the-bram-center https://ffoz.org/hub/friends/teaching/the-history-of-messianic-jews-in-israelMessiah Magazine Issue 18– Who is Messiah Podcast? –Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.

The Sabbath: Is it observed on Sunday or Saturday? Is it a day of rest, worship, or both? Who is it truly for—Jews, Christians, or everyone? Are the ancient Sabbath laws still relevant today? What insights does the Bible provide? If profound questions like these cross your mind, then join Aaron and Rachel Eby as they delve into these topics, sharing their experiences as a Jewish family observing the traditional Jewish Sabbath every Saturday. Aaron, a senior educator at First Fruits of Zion, and Rachel, a prolific writer for Messiah Online and Messiah Magazine, offer a unique perspective as Jewish followers of Jesus. Together, they guide us through understanding the Sabbath from a Messianic Jewish viewpoint. 👉 Key Discussion Points:► In this episode you’ll discover why the Sabbath was sanctified at creation long before the Jewish people existed, and what it truly means for a day to be “holy.” ► Traditional Jewish Sabbath observance goes beyond just refraining from work and includes the thirty-nine categories of prohibited creative acts. The Ebys explain the purpose behind these detailed boundaries and how this meticulous structure is designed not to be a burden but to deepen your awareness of God's holiness, transforming how you experience time and life itself. ► The Sabbath serves as a rehearsal for the World to Come, a time to step back from our relentless pursuit of achievement and reconnect with God's eternal promises. Aaron and Rachel share personal insights into how Shabbat fosters community, nurtures family bonds, and cultivates a sense of delight. They discuss suggestions for engaging children and incorporating joy, even amid a busy, screen-saturated culture. They offer encouragement for non-Jews: even small steps like lighting candles or setting aside moments of reflection can infuse life with spiritual meaning and cultural richness. This episode isn’t just about understanding a religious practice; it’s about rediscovering a rhythm of life that can profoundly shape your faith, your family, and your worldview.

As tensions continue to ferment in the Middle East, God has called some from among his flock to bring the gospel of the kingdom to the Muslim world. Our guest today, Stephanie Quick of the Emmaus Table, is a writer, teacher, songwriter, recording artist, cinematographer, filmmaker, and fierce advocate of Israel with rare and unusual political equilibrium, and a true and loyal friend to dogs everywhere. She's here to tell us about how the Emmaus Table is proclaiming the gospel in its original apocalyptic Jewish context to audiences in the Middle East and around the world.👉 Key Discussion Points:► The Gospel’s Jewish Context in the Muslim World: Stephanie emphasizes the importance of proclaiming the “gospel of the kingdom” within its original apocalyptic Jewish context, even to the Muslim world.► Founding of the Emmaus Table: After years with Frontier Alliance International (FAI), Stephanie helped transition their public-facing efforts into “The Emmaus Table.” The new collaborative “dinner table” model provides a free and growing resource library, including films, teaching, and music.► The Covenant and Controversy Framework: A central theme of her work is navigating the “controversy of Zion.” She posits that God’s faithfulness to his everlasting covenant with Israel is the foundation for a Christian’s personal security; if God were to renege on his promises to the Jewish people, believers would have no basis to trust his promises to them.🔖 Chapters00:00 Living through Conflicts with Iran05:52 Journey to the Middle East: A Personal Calling11:10 Missions and Filmmaking in the Muslim World22:16 The Emmaus Table: A Collaborative Initiative29:29 Understanding the Gospel of the Kingdom37:10 The Incomplete Gospel and Its Implications42:44 The Wire: Geopolitics through a Maranatha Lens45:16 The Inkwell: A Devotional and Teaching Platform48:26 The Global Bible Study: Weekly Teachings and Insights49:48 Death + Kingdom: A Musical Exploration of Resurrection👉 Resources:► Emmaus Table► Covenant and controversy: The Great ReignFFOZ at the Emmaus Tablehttps://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/ffoz-at-the-emmaus-tablehttps://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/drawn-from-flame-and-waterhttps://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/sojourners-and-exilesSOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATIONhttps://www.facebook.com/theemmaustable.worldX and IG at: @quicklikesandMusic Albums to explore on your favorite streaming service► The Death of Death: Death + Kingdom Vol. I► Ballads of Song of Solomon– Who is Messiah Podcast? –Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.

For those of us who read the Bible from a Messianic Jewish perspective, 1 Peter presents a problem. On the surface, Peter seems to be telling an audience of Gentiles that they, and not Israel, are now the chosen people. Dr. Kelly Liebengood has recently released a manuscript called Reading 1 Peter after Supersessionism, in which he shares his research on Peter’s inclusive language. Gentile followers of Jesus have always faced a challenge when forming a new identity, but the nature of this new identity does not preclude the continuing status of Israel as the people of God. Join us as we wrestle through post-supersessionist scholarship to find the message of Peter that applies even today. 👉 Key Discussion Points: ► The Concept of “Gentile Israelhood” is a concept Dr. Liebengood uses to express that Gentile believers are invited into a shared identity where they belong to the God of Israel. Dr. Liebengood argues they are “grafted-in” to Israel’s story without erasing their own Gentile identity or stealing the unique status of the Jewish people. ► The Challenge of Audience Identification in 1 Peter is a scholarly tug-of-war. A Jewish audience fits the letter’s “national” language but contradicts descriptions of the readers’ former pagan ignorance; conversely, a Gentile audience risks supporting “replacement theology” unless read through a post-supersessionist lens. How can this tension be resolved? ► A post-supersessionist reading of 1 Peter underscores the trustworthiness of God. The debate over 1 Peter is ultimately about the character of God. If God were to abandon his specific promises to Israel to start over with a new group, he would be fundamentally untrustworthy. A post-supersessionist reading ensures that God is seen as a faithful promise-keeper to all. 🔖 Chapters 00:00 Kelly's Journey to Post-Supersessionism 13:22 1 Peter and the Significance of Audience 07:56 Understanding Suffering in 1 Peter 19:03 Theological Implications of Audience Interpretation 26:29 Understanding “Israelhood” 31:42 Challenges of Gentile Identity Formation 34:21 Viewing Peter's Audience as Converts 39:48 Dating 1 Peter 44:32 Suffering in 1 Peter 48:10 Ecclesiology and Gentile Identity 51:24 Future Directions in Scholarship 1:00:20 Theological Implications for Gentile Followers 1:05:10 Re-narrating the Bible’s Bigger Picture 1:07:57 The Need for Dialogue in Scholarship 👉 Resources: ► Reading 1 Peter after Supersessionism, Dr. Kelly Liebengood ► Dismantling Replacement Theology► Biblical Blueprint of Peoplehood► Israel – Forgetfulness– Who is Messiah Podcast? –Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.

Can a stay-at-home mom with a gift of gab change the way the world views the Jewish Jesus? The viral @HelloMrsRachel, a third generation Messianic Jew joins Messiah podcast to reveal the David-and-Goliath reality of being a Messianic creator today. From dealing with heresy-hunting hate-watchers to answering deep theological DMs from curious Christians and searching Chasidic Jews, Rachel shares how she balances viral success with a heart-centered faith that refuses to get stuck in the "heady" world of theology.👉 Key Discussion Points:► The Struggle of the “In-Between": Messianic Jews often experience a unique form of double-rejection from both the Christian and Jewish communities. Rachel found that sharing this specific tension on social media resonated deeply with others who feel they don't fit into traditional boxes.► Jewish Identity as a Testimony of God's Faithfulness: Retaining Jewish identity and traditions after following Jesus is seen as a living testimony that God keeps his promises. Rachel argues that if God were to "break" his specific promises to the Jewish people, it would undermine the security of his promises to all believers.► The David and Goliath Mindset: Rachel views her platform as a way to confront demonic lies and misinformation about Messianic Jews and about Israel. This gives her purpose in being a small voice for truth against big mobs.🔖 Chapters00:00 Meet @HelloMrsRachel: Breakout Content Creator02:30 Third-Generation Faith: Rachel's Upbringing08:28 Parenting and Passing the Torch to the Fourth Generation10:24 Marriage Dynamics: When Two Messianic Jews Disagree11:16 The "Niddah" Conversation in a McDonald's Drive-Thru14:12 Raising Children in an Interfaith/Christian World16:10 How to Become a Messianic Social Media Mogul21:09 Impact over Numbers: The Responsibility of Influence24:30 Christians Asking the Big Questions About Jewish Roots28:24 Head vs. Heart: Balancing Theology with Simple Worship32:43 Dealing with Hate-Watchers and Misinformation36:56 Why Modern Jews Shouldn't Have to Assimilate41:50 God's Promises: Why Jesus Being Jewish Changes Everything46:51 Rachel's Favorite Messianic First Fruits of Zion Resources👉 Resources:Hello Mrs. Rachel Social Media Accounts:YouTube / Instagram / Tiktok HelloMrsRachel Article on Messiah OnlineFFOZ Reacts to a React to Hello Mrs. RachelEducational Materials for KidsThe Sabbath Table Prayer Book– Who is Messiah Podcast? –Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.

The Telepathy Tapes took the podcast world by storm in 2024. All of a sudden, we had falsifiable evidence that non-speaking autistic people could read minds. But this phenomenon was only the tip of a massive iceberg. What the Telepathy Tapes refused to publicize was the fact that these individuals relate messages from the God of Israel and from Jesus himself, expressions of unfathomable love, calls to repentance and reminders that Jesus is coming quickly. Our guest, Pastor Joe Infranco, exercised the intellectual rigor he learned in his first career as an attorney to get to the bottom of this phenomenon.👉 Key Discussion Points:► Biblical Gifts vs. "Telepathy": While some secular observers label the ability to know others' thoughts as "telepathy," Joe Infranco frames this phenomenon within the context of 1 Corinthians 12 spiritual gifts, such as "prophetic insight" or a "word of knowledge." He notes that many of these individuals are highly empathetic and "pick up thoughts" or see spiritual colors around people rather than experiencing literal, radio-like mind reading.► A Rigorous Testing of the Supernatural: As a former attorney, Infranco uses a "preponderance of the evidence" legal standard to validate supernatural claims. He argues that instead of demanding absolute certainty, believers should weigh evidence. Does the message provided line up biblically? Do the speakers have any motivation to lie? With objections and evidence on a scale which side is more persuasive?► God’s Use of "Overlooked Instruments": A central theme of the episode is that God may be choosing "heretofore overlooked instruments" to communicate ancient truths to the modern world. Infranco shares that many non-speaking individuals report seeing into the spiritual realm—including angels, demons, and Jesus—and feel a divine mandate to share messages of love and calls to repentance with a world that has often ignored them.🔖 Chapters00:00 From Attorney to Pastor: A Journey of Faith03:55 The Phenomenon of Telepathy and Spiritual Gifts08:28 Skepticism and Validation: The Journey of Belief14:13 Theological Concerns and Spiritual Discernment24:12 Providing Biblical Perspectives to Spiritual Experiences31:59 Beyond a Reasonable Doubt34:59 Messages from the Spiritual Realm38:35 Seeing the Future and Angels41:59 The Nature of Heaven and Relationship with God45:35 The Role of Autism in God's Plan49:19 Jewish Concepts Revealed through Autistic53:20 Signs of the Times: Prophetic Insights57:29 God's Unique Strategies in Reaching People01:00:34 Hope and the Future of Faith👉 Resources:Instagram: @pastorjoeinfrancoHidden Gifts MinistryDecoding Cody: Secrets of the Spectrum from People with Autism Who See, Hear, and Smell in the Unseen Realm The Telepathy Tapes– Who is Messiah Podcast? –Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ), a Messianic Jewish education organization dedicated to reconciling disciples of Yeshua with God's prophetic promises to Israel.
