These jewish believers and why is it important
00:02:03.972 --> 00:02:05.340
And why is it important for us as christians,
00:02:05.407 --> 00:02:06.675
For us as christians, as gentiles, to know
00:02:06.742 --> 00:02:08.243

>> yeah, they sure did. >> yes, and when they did
00:02:16.485 --> 00:02:17.352
>> yes, and when they did their very first conference,
00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:20.322
Their very first conference, it was when i was in college
00:02:20.389 --> 00:02:22.057
It was when i was in college and that was in palm springs.
00:02:22.124 --> 00:02:23.492
And that was in palm springs. and i drove down,
00:02:23.559 --> 00:02:24.860
And i drove down, went to the conference,
00:02:24.927 --> 00:02:25.627
Went to the conference, and i remember feeling
00:02:25.694 --> 00:02:26.628
And i remember feeling very confused, like,
00:02:26.695 --> 00:02:28.230
Very confused, like, "dad, we're african american,
00:02:28.297 --> 00:02:29.464
"dad, we're african american, you know.
00:02:29.531 --> 00:02:30.199
You know. we're from the church.
00:02:30.265 --> 00:02:30.999
We're from the church. what is this jewish
00:02:31.066 --> 00:02:31.733
What is this jewish stuff you're doing?
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:32.668
Stuff you're doing? you know?
00:02:32.734 --> 00:02:33.502
You know? you can go to israel
00:02:33.569 --> 00:02:34.303
You can go to israel to experience this.
00:02:34.369 --> 00:02:35.337
To experience this. why are you -- you know,
00:02:35.404 --> 00:02:36.438
Why are you -- you know, why do you have this passion?"
00:02:36.505 --> 00:02:37.372
Why do you have this passion?" >> it seemed totally odd to you.
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:38.240
>> it seemed totally odd to you. >> it was odd.
00:02:38.307 --> 00:02:39.174
>> it was odd. it seemed very out of place,
00:02:39.241 --> 00:02:42.444
It seemed very out of place, and i was very resistant
00:02:42.511 --> 00:02:44.313
And i was very resistant to it at first.
00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:45.914
To it at first. and this is why
00:02:45.981 --> 00:02:47.049
And this is why it was so profound
00:02:47.115 --> 00:02:48.550
It was so profound when at that conference
00:02:48.617 --> 00:02:49.685
When at that conference i met for the first time
00:02:49.751 --> 00:02:51.520
I met for the first time messianic jewish young adults.
00:02:51.587 --> 00:02:53.789
Messianic jewish young adults. and we connected just out
00:02:53.855 --> 00:02:55.891
And we connected just out of a pure love for yeshua.
00:02:55.958 --> 00:02:58.126
Of a pure love for yeshua. and we were sitting
00:02:58.193 --> 00:02:58.994
And we were sitting at a table with some of them
00:02:59.061 --> 00:03:00.529
At a table with some of them and i began to kind of feel
00:03:00.596 --> 00:03:02.397
And i began to kind of feel some type of way.
00:03:02.464 --> 00:03:03.265
Some type of way. i said, "you know,
00:03:03.332 --> 00:03:03.832
I said, "you know, what's so special about
00:03:03.899 --> 00:03:04.900
What's so special about these jewish brothers?
00:03:04.967 --> 00:03:05.801
These jewish brothers? you know.
00:03:05.867 --> 00:03:06.602
You know. i'm in bible school.
00:03:06.668 --> 00:03:07.603
I'm in bible school. i know the word."
00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:08.737
I know the word." and we just started talking
00:03:08.804 --> 00:03:09.771
And we just started talking about the word of god.
00:03:09.838 --> 00:03:10.939
About the word of god. now, i'm in ministry school,
00:03:11.006 --> 00:03:12.140
Now, i'm in ministry school, none of them were.
00:03:12.207 --> 00:03:13.475
None of them were. and it was like in that moment,
00:03:13.542 --> 00:03:15.477
And it was like in that moment, they were just talking
00:03:15.544 --> 00:03:16.411
They were just talking about the word.
00:03:16.478 --> 00:03:16.945
About the word. they were
00:03:17.012 --> 00:03:17.246
They were [speaking in hebrew]
00:03:17.312 --> 00:03:18.513
[speaking in hebrew] and i'm --
00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:19.648
And i'm -- jaw on the floor saying --
00:03:19.715 --> 00:03:21.416
Jaw on the floor saying -- >> speaking hebrew prayers.
00:03:21.483 --> 00:03:22.417
>> speaking hebrew prayers. >> "who are these people?"
00:03:22.484 --> 00:03:23.619
>> "who are these people?" and in that moment, jonathan,
00:03:23.685 --> 00:03:25.187
And in that moment, jonathan, time stood still for me.
00:03:25.254 --> 00:03:27.055
Time stood still for me. and the holy spirit said to me,
00:03:27.122 --> 00:03:28.724
And the holy spirit said to me, "daughter, you know me
00:03:28.790 --> 00:03:30.826
"daughter, you know me in my divinity.
00:03:30.892 --> 00:03:31.827
In my divinity. you know about the cross.
00:03:31.893 --> 00:03:33.061
You know about the cross. you know about the miracles
00:03:33.128 --> 00:03:34.529
You know about the miracles that i perform,
00:03:34.596 --> 00:03:35.597
That i perform, but you have no idea
00:03:35.664 --> 00:03:36.999
But you have no idea who i am and my humanity.
00:03:37.065 --> 00:03:38.900
Who i am and my humanity. you don't know
00:03:38.967 --> 00:03:39.534
You don't know who i am as a jewish man."
00:03:39.601 --> 00:03:41.236
Who i am as a jewish man." and so, in that moment,
00:03:41.303 --> 00:03:42.638
And so, in that moment, i felt like, "here's jesus,
00:03:42.704 --> 00:03:44.506
I felt like, "here's jesus, the center of my life."
00:03:44.573 --> 00:03:45.574
The center of my life." i had the wwjd bracelets.
00:03:45.641 --> 00:03:47.776
I had the wwjd bracelets. "what would jesus do?"
00:03:47.843 --> 00:03:48.610
"what would jesus do?" but i didn't know anything
00:03:48.677 --> 00:03:49.645
But i didn't know anything about what he would do.
00:03:49.711 --> 00:03:51.079
About what he would do. i didn't know
00:03:51.146 --> 00:03:51.913
I didn't know the totality of who he was.
00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:54.316
The totality of who he was. and so, that set me
00:03:54.383 --> 00:03:55.651
And so, that set me on a mission to learn more
00:03:55.717 --> 00:03:57.753
On a mission to learn more about the humanity
00:03:57.819 --> 00:03:58.820
About the humanity of my lord and savior.
00:03:58.887 --> 00:04:00.589
Of my lord and savior. and you can't just love
00:04:00.656 --> 00:04:01.657
And you can't just love his humanity
00:04:01.723 --> 00:04:03.158
His humanity and him being a jewish man
00:04:03.225 --> 00:04:04.326
And him being a jewish man without loving his people.
00:04:04.393 --> 00:04:06.061
Without loving his people. and so, i became crazy in love
00:04:06.128 --> 00:04:07.829
And so, i became crazy in love with the jewish people
00:04:07.896 --> 00:04:09.131
With the jewish people and god's heart for seeing
00:04:09.197 --> 00:04:10.432
And god's heart for seeing jew and gentile together as one.
00:04:10.499 --> 00:04:11.667
Jew and gentile together as one. >> how come that happened to you
00:04:11.733 --> 00:04:13.035
>> how come that happened to you and so many christians
00:04:13.101 --> 00:04:14.870
And so many christians don't have the slightest
00:04:14.936 --> 00:04:16.004
Don't have the slightest idea of this?
00:04:16.071 --> 00:04:17.005
Idea of this? >> you know, one of the things
00:04:17.072 --> 00:04:18.607
>> you know, one of the things that i learned early on
00:04:18.674 --> 00:04:20.042
That i learned early on when i was going through
00:04:20.108 --> 00:04:21.009
When i was going through this transition was that
00:04:21.076 --> 00:04:22.210
This transition was that i contextualized jesus
00:04:22.277 --> 00:04:24.279
I contextualized jesus to look like me.
00:04:24.346 --> 00:04:25.580
To look like me. he was this black man
00:04:25.647 --> 00:04:26.415
He was this black man with some dreadlocks.
00:04:26.481 --> 00:04:27.516
With some dreadlocks. he had a six pack, you know.
00:04:27.582 --> 00:04:29.384
He had a six pack, you know. he looked like me.
00:04:29.451 --> 00:04:30.252
He looked like me. he dressed like me.
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.620
He dressed like me. and every time
00:04:31.687 --> 00:04:32.521
And every time i would read scripture
00:04:32.587 --> 00:04:34.056
I would read scripture or pray, what i was seeing,
00:04:34.122 --> 00:04:36.091
Or pray, what i was seeing, who i was engaging with,
00:04:36.158 --> 00:04:37.659
Who i was engaging with, was a jesus that
00:04:37.726 --> 00:04:38.627
Was a jesus that was comfortable to me.
00:04:38.694 --> 00:04:40.729
Was comfortable to me. but the reality is
00:04:40.796 --> 00:04:42.230
But the reality is we have to recognize that
00:04:42.297 --> 00:04:44.299
We have to recognize that when we accept yeshua,
00:04:44.366 --> 00:04:45.901
When we accept yeshua, jesus into our heart
00:04:45.967 --> 00:04:47.469
Jesus into our heart that we're entering
00:04:47.536 --> 00:04:48.937
That we're entering into his story, his kingdom,
00:04:49.004 --> 00:04:51.139
Into his story, his kingdom, and we have to understand
00:04:51.206 --> 00:04:52.240
And we have to understand who he was, who he is,
00:04:52.307 --> 00:04:53.942
Who he was, who he is, and who he is to come.
00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:55.477
And who he is to come. >> talk about some of
00:04:55.544 --> 00:04:56.411
>> talk about some of the scriptures
00:04:56.478 --> 00:04:57.813
The scriptures that dramatically
00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:58.647
That dramatically changed your direction,
00:04:58.714 --> 00:04:59.981
Changed your direction, your calling, your ministry.
00:05:00.048 --> 00:05:01.316
Your calling, your ministry. there's a few scriptures.
00:05:01.383 --> 00:05:02.617
There's a few scriptures. >> yeah, well, john 17
00:05:02.684 --> 00:05:03.752
>> yeah, well, john 17 is my favorite,
00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:05.921
Is my favorite, and the thing about john 17
00:05:05.987 --> 00:05:07.889
And the thing about john 17 is this, i'm sure
00:05:07.956 --> 00:05:09.057
Is this, i'm sure this is true for you.
00:05:09.124 --> 00:05:09.858
This is true for you. i know it's true
00:05:09.925 --> 00:05:10.359
I know it's true for every believer.
00:05:10.425 --> 00:05:11.593
For every believer. if you wanna know
00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:12.561
If you wanna know the priority in your life,
00:05:12.627 --> 00:05:14.262
The priority in your life, then we should spy on
00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:15.464
Then we should spy on your prayer life.
00:05:15.530 --> 00:05:16.732
Your prayer life. what we pray about reveals
00:05:16.798 --> 00:05:18.533
What we pray about reveals what our priorities are.
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.168
What our priorities are. and john 17
00:05:20.235 --> 00:05:21.269
And john 17 is the longest prayer
00:05:21.336 --> 00:05:22.571
Is the longest prayer that yeshua prays in scripture.
00:05:22.637 --> 00:05:24.573
That yeshua prays in scripture. and so, if i'm a believer,
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.108
And so, if i'm a believer, i'm going, "i think this prayer
00:05:26.174 --> 00:05:27.876
I'm going, "i think this prayer is gonna give me insight
00:05:27.943 --> 00:05:29.678
Is gonna give me insight into what's most important
00:05:29.745 --> 00:05:31.747
Into what's most important to our lord and savior."
00:05:31.813 --> 00:05:32.981
To our lord and savior." and in this prayer,
00:05:33.048 --> 00:05:34.349
And in this prayer, he's crying out to the father
00:05:34.416 --> 00:05:35.717
He's crying out to the father in his most trying moment.
00:05:35.784 --> 00:05:38.320
In his most trying moment. and he's saying,
00:05:38.387 --> 00:05:39.020
And he's saying, "lord, my desire
00:05:39.087 --> 00:05:40.789
"lord, my desire is that these and those,"
00:05:40.856 --> 00:05:42.557
Is that these and those," these, his jewish disciples,
00:05:42.624 --> 00:05:44.359
These, his jewish disciples, those, the nations,
00:05:44.426 --> 00:05:45.427
Those, the nations, the gentiles,
00:05:45.494 --> 00:05:46.495
The gentiles, "they would later
00:05:46.561 --> 00:05:47.095
"they would later reach for the gospel.
00:05:47.162 --> 00:05:47.829
Reach for the gospel. my desire is that
00:05:47.896 --> 00:05:48.530
My desire is that they would be one
00:05:48.597 --> 00:05:49.998
They would be one as you and i are one,"
00:05:50.065 --> 00:05:51.333
As you and i are one," that's covenantal relationship,
00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:53.402
That's covenantal relationship, "so that the world
00:05:53.468 --> 00:05:55.070
"so that the world may believe you sent me."
00:05:55.137 --> 00:05:56.905
May believe you sent me." worldwide revival.
00:05:56.972 --> 00:05:58.240
Worldwide revival. that's the answer to
00:05:58.306 --> 00:05:59.875
That's the answer to bringing in god's revival.
00:05:59.941 --> 00:06:01.443
Bringing in god's revival. it's seeing this unity,
00:06:01.510 --> 00:06:02.911
It's seeing this unity, this interdependent connection
00:06:02.978 --> 00:06:05.447
This interdependent connection and relationship with
00:06:05.514 --> 00:06:06.448
And relationship with jew and gentile.
00:06:06.515 --> 00:06:07.816
Jew and gentile. it's the number one
00:06:07.883 --> 00:06:08.717
It's the number one prayer of our lord,
00:06:08.784 --> 00:06:10.018
Prayer of our lord, but it's also the number one
00:06:10.085 --> 00:06:10.986
But it's also the number one attack of the enemy.
00:06:11.052 --> 00:06:11.987
Attack of the enemy. >> i don't know if any of you
00:06:12.053 --> 00:06:13.021
>> i don't know if any of you have ever heard this before.
00:06:13.088 --> 00:06:14.423
Have ever heard this before. this is just -- it's amazing
00:06:14.489 --> 00:06:16.091
This is just -- it's amazing to hear it from someone like you
00:06:16.158 --> 00:06:18.059
To hear it from someone like you that wasn't brought up jewish,
00:06:18.126 --> 00:06:19.628
That wasn't brought up jewish, that was -- grew up in
00:06:19.694 --> 00:06:20.829
That was -- grew up in the african american community.
00:06:20.896 --> 00:06:22.731
The african american community. and you were so weirded out
00:06:22.798 --> 00:06:23.899
And you were so weirded out by this whole direction,
00:06:23.965 --> 00:06:25.400
By this whole direction, but then the light came on.
00:06:25.467 --> 00:06:26.635
But then the light came on. >> it came on.
00:06:26.701 --> 00:06:27.169
>> it came on. >> what was
00:06:27.235 --> 00:06:27.569
>> what was the lightning bolt moment?
00:06:27.636 --> 00:06:28.804
The lightning bolt moment? your dad -- you talked
00:06:28.870 --> 00:06:29.671
Your dad -- you talked about your dad had
00:06:29.738 --> 00:06:30.572
About your dad had a lightning bolt moment.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.873
A lightning bolt moment. >> yeah.
00:06:31.940 --> 00:06:32.274
>> yeah. >> right?
00:06:32.340 --> 00:06:32.941
>> right? when he realized
00:06:33.008 --> 00:06:34.142
When he realized that he was unaware of
00:06:34.209 --> 00:06:36.311
That he was unaware of a segment of the body of christ
00:06:36.378 --> 00:06:37.779
A segment of the body of christ and had no idea who they were
00:06:37.846 --> 00:06:39.648
And had no idea who they were or what the connection
00:06:39.714 --> 00:06:41.082
Or what the connection was to him.
00:06:41.149 --> 00:06:43.118
Was to him. >> my lightning bolt moment
00:06:43.185 --> 00:06:44.219
>> my lightning bolt moment was a couple of days
00:06:44.286 --> 00:06:45.187
Was a couple of days after i attended
00:06:45.253 --> 00:06:46.421
After i attended that conference.
00:06:46.488 --> 00:06:47.722
That conference. and i was spending some time
00:06:47.789 --> 00:06:48.924
And i was spending some time praying with the lord
00:06:48.990 --> 00:06:49.591
Praying with the lord and the holy spirit
00:06:49.658 --> 00:06:50.859
And the holy spirit gave it to me in this analogy.
00:06:50.926 --> 00:06:52.561
Gave it to me in this analogy. he said -- at the time
00:06:52.627 --> 00:06:53.728
He said -- at the time i was single,
00:06:53.795 --> 00:06:54.663
I was single, and the holy spirit said,
00:06:54.729 --> 00:06:55.564
And the holy spirit said, "petra, say you were
00:06:55.630 --> 00:06:56.665
"petra, say you were to marry somebody that was
00:06:56.731 --> 00:06:57.732
To marry somebody that was ethnically and culturally
00:06:57.799 --> 00:06:59.100
Ethnically and culturally different than you,
00:06:59.167 --> 00:07:00.068
Different than you, and say that person said,
00:07:00.135 --> 00:07:01.603
And say that person said, 'petra, we just love
00:07:01.670 --> 00:07:02.504
'petra, we just love your personality,
00:07:02.571 --> 00:07:03.638
Your personality, we love your heart,
00:07:03.705 --> 00:07:04.506
We love your heart, we love who you are,
00:07:04.573 --> 00:07:05.440
We love who you are, but your black culture
00:07:05.507 --> 00:07:07.876
But your black culture and your black people,
00:07:07.943 --> 00:07:09.177
And your black people, can you just leave that
00:07:09.244 --> 00:07:10.145
Can you just leave that out of our relationship?'"
00:07:10.212 --> 00:07:11.847
Out of our relationship?'" well, jonathan,
00:07:11.913 --> 00:07:12.414
Well, jonathan, i would tell that person,
00:07:12.481 --> 00:07:13.281
I would tell that person, "hit the road, jack.
00:07:13.348 --> 00:07:14.416
"hit the road, jack. and don't you come
00:07:14.483 --> 00:07:15.050
And don't you come back no more."
00:07:15.116 --> 00:07:15.817
Back no more." and then the holy spirit
00:07:15.884 --> 00:07:16.485
And then the holy spirit said this, "the church has said,
00:07:16.551 --> 00:07:18.119
Said this, "the church has said, 'lord, we want your miracles.
00:07:18.186 --> 00:07:19.955
'lord, we want your miracles. we want your power.
00:07:20.021 --> 00:07:21.189
We want your power. we want the cross.
00:07:21.256 --> 00:07:22.557
We want the cross. we want your grace.
00:07:22.624 --> 00:07:24.092
We want your grace. but the jewish stuff,
00:07:24.159 --> 00:07:25.827
But the jewish stuff, and your jewish people,
00:07:25.894 --> 00:07:27.062
And your jewish people, and israel and all that,
00:07:27.128 --> 00:07:28.363
And israel and all that, let's keep that
00:07:28.430 --> 00:07:28.997
Let's keep that out of our relationship.'"
00:07:29.064 --> 00:07:30.499
Out of our relationship.'" well, when we do that,
00:07:30.565 --> 00:07:31.967
Well, when we do that, we're only getting
00:07:32.033 --> 00:07:33.368
We're only getting a part of who god is.
00:07:33.435 --> 00:07:35.237
A part of who god is. we're only understanding
00:07:35.303 --> 00:07:36.505
We're only understanding a part of who he is
00:07:36.571 --> 00:07:37.806
A part of who he is as a promise keeper,
00:07:37.873 --> 00:07:39.174
As a promise keeper, as a way maker.
00:07:39.241 --> 00:07:40.609
As a way maker. and so, for me, it was that
00:07:40.675 --> 00:07:42.677
And so, for me, it was that lightning bolt moment
00:07:42.744 --> 00:07:44.045
Lightning bolt moment of i cannot educate,
00:07:44.112 --> 00:07:47.015
Of i cannot educate, be a pastor,
00:07:47.082 --> 00:07:47.749
Be a pastor, be a leader,
00:07:47.816 --> 00:07:48.717
Be a leader, people on this faith
00:07:48.783 --> 00:07:50.685
People on this faith and remove from it
00:07:50.752 --> 00:07:52.754
And remove from it the jewishness of jesus
00:07:52.821 --> 00:07:54.289
The jewishness of jesus and the heart we're supposed
00:07:54.356 --> 00:07:55.290
And the heart we're supposed to have for his jewish people.
00:07:55.357 --> 00:07:56.658
To have for his jewish people. >> wow.
00:07:56.725 --> 00:07:57.325
>> wow. well said, petra.
00:07:57.392 --> 00:07:58.827
Well said, petra. well said.
00:07:58.894 --> 00:08:00.061
Well said. well, what would you
00:08:00.128 --> 00:08:00.729
Well, what would you say to people that
00:08:00.795 --> 00:08:03.098
Say to people that just simply believe
00:08:03.164 --> 00:08:03.865
Just simply believe that god's finished with
00:08:03.932 --> 00:08:04.866
That god's finished with the jewish people that,
00:08:04.933 --> 00:08:05.700
The jewish people that, yes, they did provide
00:08:05.767 --> 00:08:07.702
Yes, they did provide these things for us,
00:08:07.769 --> 00:08:09.137
These things for us, but they'd rejected
00:08:09.204 --> 00:08:10.171
But they'd rejected their messiah
00:08:10.238 --> 00:08:11.072
Their messiah and that's it for them?
00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:13.108
And that's it for them? >> well, what i would say
00:08:13.174 --> 00:08:13.909
>> well, what i would say to those people is that
00:08:13.975 --> 00:08:15.610
To those people is that the lord is coming back again.
00:08:15.677 --> 00:08:17.512
The lord is coming back again. and he's not coming back
00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:18.513
And he's not coming back to new york,
00:08:18.580 --> 00:08:19.414
To new york, as beautiful as it is.
00:08:19.481 --> 00:08:20.849
As beautiful as it is. he's not coming back to greece,
00:08:20.916 --> 00:08:22.884
He's not coming back to greece, nor is he coming back
00:08:22.951 --> 00:08:23.685
Nor is he coming back to hollywood,
00:08:23.752 --> 00:08:24.819
To hollywood, but he's coming
00:08:24.886 --> 00:08:25.387
But he's coming back to jerusalem.
00:08:25.453 --> 00:08:27.122
Back to jerusalem. and if we remove the importance
00:08:27.188 --> 00:08:30.325
And if we remove the importance of the whole story,
00:08:30.392 --> 00:08:31.326
Of the whole story, the old testament and new,
00:08:31.393 --> 00:08:33.028
The old testament and new, the prophecies of what
00:08:33.094 --> 00:08:34.329
The prophecies of what god has done,
00:08:34.396 --> 00:08:35.597
God has done, and what he's going to do,
00:08:35.664 --> 00:08:37.232
And what he's going to do, then we as believers
00:08:37.299 --> 00:08:38.166
Then we as believers will not be ready
00:08:38.233 --> 00:08:39.568
Will not be ready and we will not recognize
00:08:39.634 --> 00:08:41.503
And we will not recognize when the messiah returns.
00:08:41.570 --> 00:08:43.338
When the messiah returns. >> petra, i am so grateful
00:08:43.405 --> 00:08:44.539

Road to jerusalem. it's a challenging ministry.
00:11:05.046 --> 00:11:06.214
It's a challenging ministry. what's some of the obstacles
00:11:06.281 --> 00:11:07.916
What's some of the obstacles that you face promoting
00:11:07.982 --> 00:11:09.117
That you face promoting messianic judaism,
00:11:09.184 --> 00:11:11.019
Messianic judaism, unity within the church,
00:11:11.086 --> 00:11:12.320
Unity within the church, and how you overcome them?
00:11:12.387 --> 00:11:14.055
And how you overcome them? >> well, one of
00:11:14.122 --> 00:11:14.789
>> well, one of the biggest obstacles
00:11:14.856 --> 00:11:16.257
The biggest obstacles that we find especially
00:11:16.324 --> 00:11:17.759
That we find especially when i'm talking to
00:11:17.826 --> 00:11:18.426
When i'm talking to pastors and leaders
00:11:18.493 --> 00:11:19.728
Pastors and leaders is they're so afraid to
00:11:19.794 --> 00:11:21.930
Is they're so afraid to do anything pertaining
00:11:21.996 --> 00:11:23.164
Do anything pertaining to jewish roots because
00:11:23.231 --> 00:11:24.466
To jewish roots because they're afraid of culturally
00:11:24.532 --> 00:11:25.800
They're afraid of culturally appropriating things
00:11:25.867 --> 00:11:26.801
Appropriating things that are jewish.
00:11:26.868 --> 00:11:28.236
That are jewish. and one of the things
00:11:28.303 --> 00:11:29.104
And one of the things that i really studied
00:11:29.170 --> 00:11:31.239
That i really studied and began to teach was
00:11:31.306 --> 00:11:33.308
And began to teach was romans 11 and the olive tree.
00:11:33.374 --> 00:11:35.276
Romans 11 and the olive tree. and we all know when we read
00:11:35.343 --> 00:11:37.212
And we all know when we read romans 11, that if
00:11:37.278 --> 00:11:38.813
Romans 11, that if you're not jewish
00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:39.814
You're not jewish and you're gentile,
00:11:39.881 --> 00:11:40.415
And you're gentile, you're grafted in.
00:11:40.482 --> 00:11:41.816
You're grafted in. but i don't think
00:11:41.883 --> 00:11:42.417
But i don't think what people realize
00:11:42.484 --> 00:11:43.685
What people realize is that grafting
00:11:43.752 --> 00:11:45.153
Is that grafting in actually a real thing.
00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:47.288
In actually a real thing. the university of syracuse
00:11:47.355 --> 00:11:48.490
The university of syracuse did this project.
00:11:48.556 --> 00:11:49.991
Did this project. they call it,
00:11:50.058 --> 00:11:50.492
They call it, "the tree of 40 fruits,"
00:11:50.558 --> 00:11:51.893
"the tree of 40 fruits," where they grafted in
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.095
Where they grafted in 40 different fruits
00:11:54.162 --> 00:11:55.563
40 different fruits into an olive tree.
00:11:55.630 --> 00:11:57.432
Into an olive tree. and what happened was this,
00:11:57.499 --> 00:11:58.566
And what happened was this, and it was phenomenal,
00:11:58.633 --> 00:11:59.968
And it was phenomenal, that each of those branches
00:12:00.034 --> 00:12:01.703
That each of those branches continued to produce
00:12:01.770 --> 00:12:03.171
Continued to produce the fruit of the original tree
00:12:03.238 --> 00:12:05.173
The fruit of the original tree that they were native to,
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.474
That they were native to, but they're all connected
00:12:06.541 --> 00:12:07.809
But they're all connected to this new source.
00:12:07.876 --> 00:12:09.778
To this new source. and when i realized that
00:12:09.844 --> 00:12:11.412
And when i realized that and that was introduced to me --
00:12:11.479 --> 00:12:12.814
And that was introduced to me -- >> i love that picture.
00:12:12.881 --> 00:12:13.581
>> i love that picture. >> yeah, it was introduced to me
00:12:13.648 --> 00:12:14.883
>> yeah, it was introduced to me by rabbi jacob rosenberg.
00:12:14.949 --> 00:12:17.152
By rabbi jacob rosenberg. i learned this, i learned that
00:12:17.218 --> 00:12:18.987
I learned this, i learned that when we're grafted in,
00:12:19.053 --> 00:12:20.288
When we're grafted in, it's not cultural appropriation.
00:12:20.355 --> 00:12:22.824
It's not cultural appropriation. it's covenantal participation.
00:12:22.891 --> 00:12:25.193
It's covenantal participation. that's what he taught me.
00:12:25.260 --> 00:12:26.294
That's what he taught me. >> that's really profound.
00:12:26.361 --> 00:12:27.328
>> that's really profound. >> so, covenantal participation,
00:12:27.395 --> 00:12:29.130
>> so, covenantal participation, in order to participate
00:12:29.197 --> 00:12:30.298
In order to participate in covenant,
00:12:30.365 --> 00:12:30.865
In covenant, you have to first be
00:12:30.932 --> 00:12:31.599
You have to first be in covenant relationship.
00:12:31.666 --> 00:12:33.301
In covenant relationship. so, if i'm in covenant
00:12:33.368 --> 00:12:34.435
So, if i'm in covenant relationship with you
00:12:34.502 --> 00:12:35.069
Relationship with you as my jewish brother,
00:12:35.136 --> 00:12:36.538
As my jewish brother, then that means how
00:12:36.604 --> 00:12:37.872
Then that means how i'm participated in the --
00:12:37.939 --> 00:12:39.874
I'm participated in the -- participating in the moedim,
00:12:39.941 --> 00:12:41.709
Participating in the moedim, the appointed times,
00:12:41.776 --> 00:12:42.811
The appointed times, it's with you,
00:12:42.877 --> 00:12:44.045
It's with you, it's honoring you.
00:12:44.112 --> 00:12:45.480
It's honoring you. when i first started to learn
00:12:45.547 --> 00:12:47.715
When i first started to learn about god's appointments,
00:12:47.782 --> 00:12:49.250
About god's appointments, his calendar, i said,
00:12:49.317 --> 00:12:51.152
His calendar, i said, "how has this been missing
00:12:51.219 --> 00:12:52.053
"how has this been missing from my faith experience?"
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.322
From my faith experience?" every single one of
00:12:54.389 --> 00:12:55.790
Every single one of the moedim helps
00:12:55.857 --> 00:12:57.225
The moedim helps to align believers with
00:12:57.292 --> 00:12:59.027
To align believers with the will of heaven on earth.
00:12:59.093 --> 00:13:00.595
The will of heaven on earth. we say in the lord's prayer,
00:13:00.662 --> 00:13:01.996
We say in the lord's prayer, "your kingdom come,
00:13:02.063 --> 00:13:03.031
"your kingdom come, your will be done
00:13:03.097 --> 00:13:03.631
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
00:13:03.698 --> 00:13:04.933
On earth as it is in heaven." >> just to define,
00:13:04.999 --> 00:13:05.533
>> just to define, moedim are the holidays,
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.502
Moedim are the holidays, the appointed times,
00:13:07.569 --> 00:13:08.469
The appointed times, the feasts, which many think
00:13:08.536 --> 00:13:10.338
The feasts, which many think are the feasts
00:13:10.405 --> 00:13:11.372
Are the feasts of the jewish people.
00:13:11.439 --> 00:13:12.340
Of the jewish people. >> yeah.
00:13:12.407 --> 00:13:12.607
>> yeah. >> rosh hashanah,
00:13:12.674 --> 00:13:13.274
>> rosh hashanah, yom kippur, passover.
00:13:13.341 --> 00:13:15.243
Yom kippur, passover. but these are celebrations
00:13:15.310 --> 00:13:17.879
But these are celebrations that jesus observed.
00:13:17.946 --> 00:13:19.414
That jesus observed. >> yes, they did.
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:20.148
>> yes, they did. >> in the new testament,
00:13:20.215 --> 00:13:21.015
>> in the new testament, all in the new testament
00:13:21.082 --> 00:13:22.450
All in the new testament as well as in the old testament.
00:13:22.517 --> 00:13:24.519
As well as in the old testament. and they connect to
00:13:24.586 --> 00:13:27.488
And they connect to his divinity,
00:13:27.555 --> 00:13:28.523
His divinity, to his messiahship,
00:13:28.590 --> 00:13:29.891
To his messiahship, to his humanity,
00:13:29.958 --> 00:13:33.194
To his humanity, to the lamb of god
00:13:33.261 --> 00:13:34.295
To the lamb of god who takes away
00:13:34.362 --> 00:13:34.796
Who takes away the sins of the world.
00:13:34.863 --> 00:13:35.897
The sins of the world. there are all these types
00:13:35.964 --> 00:13:36.998
There are all these types and pictures in the feasts
00:13:37.065 --> 00:13:39.133
And pictures in the feasts that point to jesus.
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:40.335
That point to jesus. so, why do you think
00:13:40.401 --> 00:13:41.903
So, why do you think this shouldn't be for you,
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:43.471
This shouldn't be for you, watching?
00:13:43.538 --> 00:13:44.072
Watching? right?
00:13:44.138 --> 00:13:44.372
Right? it's for all of us.
00:13:44.439 --> 00:13:45.473
It's for all of us. >> i don't miss
00:13:45.540 --> 00:13:45.974

00:13:46.040 --> 00:13:47.108
My hair appointments. i'm sure you don't miss
00:13:47.175 --> 00:13:47.876
I'm sure you don't miss your dentist appointments.
00:13:47.942 --> 00:13:48.910
Your dentist appointments. >> well, i don't miss
00:13:48.977 --> 00:13:49.510
>> well, i don't miss my hair appointment.
00:13:49.577 --> 00:13:50.044
[laughter]
00:13:50.311 --> 00:13:50.545
I could tell you that.
00:13:50.945 --> 00:13:52.046
I could tell you that. >> but god -- these feasts,
00:13:52.113 --> 00:13:54.048
>> but god -- these feasts, these appointed times,
00:13:54.115 --> 00:13:55.016
These appointed times, are god's appointments with us.
00:13:55.083 --> 00:13:57.018
Are god's appointments with us. and when we miss out on them
00:13:57.085 --> 00:13:58.786
And when we miss out on them we miss out on a richness
00:13:58.853 --> 00:14:00.622
We miss out on a richness and a discernment
00:14:00.688 --> 00:14:02.056
And a discernment on what is valuable to him
00:14:02.123 --> 00:14:04.158
On what is valuable to him and what's valuable
00:14:04.225 --> 00:14:05.093
And what's valuable in the kingdom.
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.494
In the kingdom. and so, this ministry,
00:14:06.561 --> 00:14:08.329
And so, this ministry, the road to jerusalem,
00:14:08.396 --> 00:14:09.130
The road to jerusalem, is really about helping
00:14:09.197 --> 00:14:10.698
Is really about helping people understand that
00:14:10.765 --> 00:14:12.433
People understand that it's not about appropriation.
00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:13.601
It's not about appropriation. you've gotta be
00:14:13.668 --> 00:14:14.602
You've gotta be in relationship with
00:14:14.669 --> 00:14:15.803
In relationship with our messianic jewish
00:14:15.870 --> 00:14:16.704
Our messianic jewish brothers and sisters.
00:14:16.771 --> 00:14:17.805
Brothers and sisters. but we are through covenant,
00:14:17.872 --> 00:14:19.140
But we are through covenant, through being sons and daughter,
00:14:19.207 --> 00:14:20.942
Through being sons and daughter, equal heirs.
00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:21.843
Equal heirs. we're able to participate
00:14:21.910 --> 00:14:24.112
We're able to participate in god's appointment.
00:14:24.178 --> 00:14:25.280
In god's appointment. >> you know it existed
00:14:25.346 --> 00:14:26.114
>> you know it existed in the old testament too, right?
00:14:26.180 --> 00:14:27.815
In the old testament too, right? with the sojourners
00:14:27.882 --> 00:14:29.217
With the sojourners that became part of
00:14:29.284 --> 00:14:29.851
That became part of the community of israel.
00:14:29.918 --> 00:14:30.919
The community of israel. >> yeah.
00:14:30.985 --> 00:14:31.819
>> yeah. >> they weren't originally
00:14:31.886 --> 00:14:32.620
>> they weren't originally part of the people of israel,
00:14:32.687 --> 00:14:33.855
Part of the people of israel, but they were incorporated
00:14:33.922 --> 00:14:34.822
But they were incorporated in as sojourners.
00:14:34.889 --> 00:14:36.524
In as sojourners. and they followed the moedim.
00:14:36.591 --> 00:14:37.759
And they followed the moedim. they followed the holidays.
00:14:37.825 --> 00:14:39.160
They followed the holidays. >> you know what my favorite
00:14:39.227 --> 00:14:40.662
>> you know what my favorite thing about it is?
00:14:40.728 --> 00:14:41.996
Thing about it is? one of the biggest known
00:14:42.063 --> 00:14:43.264
One of the biggest known revivals in the church
00:14:43.331 --> 00:14:44.699
Revivals in the church is the azusa street revival.
00:14:44.766 --> 00:14:46.167
Is the azusa street revival. >> right.
00:14:46.234 --> 00:14:46.701
>> right. >> and the azusa street revival,
00:14:46.768 --> 00:14:48.369
>> and the azusa street revival, many people don't know this,
00:14:48.436 --> 00:14:49.837
Many people don't know this, started on april 9, 1904.
00:14:49.904 --> 00:14:53.374
Started on april 9, 1904. it was a friday night,
00:14:53.441 --> 00:14:54.676
It was a friday night, but that year that was
00:14:54.742 --> 00:14:55.743
But that year that was the first night of passover,
00:14:55.810 --> 00:14:57.712
The first night of passover, the first night of pesach.
00:14:57.779 --> 00:14:58.947
The first night of pesach. >> oh, really?
00:14:59.013 --> 00:14:59.347
>> oh, really? >> you cannot tell me
00:14:59.414 --> 00:15:00.615
>> you cannot tell me that there's a coincidence
00:15:00.682 --> 00:15:02.450
That there's a coincidence in the greatest revival
00:15:02.517 --> 00:15:04.719
In the greatest revival that has taken place
00:15:04.786 --> 00:15:05.620
That has taken place that i believe
00:15:05.687 --> 00:15:06.654
That i believe on american soil was
00:15:06.721 --> 00:15:08.323
On american soil was in alignment with
00:15:08.389 --> 00:15:09.857
In alignment with god's appointment.
00:15:09.924 --> 00:15:10.992
God's appointment. >> yeah.
00:15:11.059 --> 00:15:11.492
>> yeah. >> it was in alignment
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.360
>> it was in alignment with passover.
00:15:12.427 --> 00:15:12.860
With passover. and correct me if i'm wrong,
00:15:12.927 --> 00:15:14.996
And correct me if i'm wrong, but when you have
00:15:15.063 --> 00:15:15.930
But when you have an appointed time
00:15:15.997 --> 00:15:17.198
An appointed time on another appointed time
00:15:17.265 --> 00:15:18.566
On another appointed time it's called
00:15:18.633 --> 00:15:19.033
It's called a high shabbat, right?
00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:20.335
A high shabbat, right? >> that's amazing, yeah.
00:15:20.401 --> 00:15:21.069
>> that's amazing, yeah. >> it's a special one,
00:15:21.135 --> 00:15:22.537
>> it's a special one, so i feel like the lord
00:15:22.603 --> 00:15:24.105
So i feel like the lord has been saying --
00:15:24.172 --> 00:15:25.540
Has been saying -- i feel like heaven has been
00:15:25.606 --> 00:15:26.541
I feel like heaven has been crying out for this unity
00:15:26.607 --> 00:15:28.443
Crying out for this unity between messianic brothers
00:15:28.509 --> 00:15:30.144
Between messianic brothers and sisters and the church.
00:15:30.211 --> 00:15:31.646
And sisters and the church. >> what's the fear,
00:15:31.713 --> 00:15:32.981
>> what's the fear, do you think as you
00:15:33.047 --> 00:15:34.315
Do you think as you encounter pastors
00:15:34.382 --> 00:15:36.050
Encounter pastors and try to help them understand
00:15:36.117 --> 00:15:38.286
And try to help them understand the one new humanity
00:15:38.353 --> 00:15:41.656
The one new humanity of prayer of john 17
00:15:41.723 --> 00:15:44.959
Of prayer of john 17 or jesus as a jew,
00:15:45.026 --> 00:15:47.628
Or jesus as a jew, was and is a jew,
00:15:47.695 --> 00:15:49.197
Was and is a jew, that hands off
00:15:49.263 --> 00:15:52.100
That hands off that appropriation?
00:15:52.166 --> 00:15:52.900
That appropriation? what do you think it is
00:15:52.967 --> 00:15:53.768
What do you think it is about jewish things
00:15:53.835 --> 00:15:55.670
About jewish things that result in sort of
00:15:55.737 --> 00:15:56.904
That result in sort of a negative response?
00:15:56.971 --> 00:15:58.306
A negative response? >> yeah, i think
00:15:58.373 --> 00:15:59.307
>> yeah, i think one of the biggest fears
00:15:59.374 --> 00:16:00.742
One of the biggest fears is that in order to engage,
00:16:00.808 --> 00:16:02.443
Is that in order to engage, you have to become.
00:16:02.510 --> 00:16:04.445
You have to become. and that's a direct lie
00:16:04.512 --> 00:16:05.580
And that's a direct lie from the enemy.
00:16:05.646 --> 00:16:06.381
From the enemy. we don't have to become,
00:16:06.447 --> 00:16:07.281
We don't have to become, we embrace.
00:16:07.348 --> 00:16:08.249
We embrace. it goes back to that
00:16:08.316 --> 00:16:08.916
It goes back to that olive tree analogy.
00:16:08.983 --> 00:16:10.785
Olive tree analogy. if i'm a pear tree branch
00:16:10.852 --> 00:16:13.154
If i'm a pear tree branch that's been grafted
00:16:13.221 --> 00:16:13.988
That's been grafted into this olive tree,
00:16:14.055 --> 00:16:15.823
Into this olive tree, i'm still a pear,
00:16:15.890 --> 00:16:17.091
I'm still a pear, but i've embraced
00:16:17.158 --> 00:16:18.393
But i've embraced my root system.
00:16:18.459 --> 00:16:19.794
My root system. i'm not fighting it,
00:16:19.861 --> 00:16:20.995
I'm not fighting it, i'm embracing it.
00:16:21.062 --> 00:16:22.430
I'm embracing it. and i may have --
00:16:22.497 --> 00:16:23.031
And i may have -- i may be a pear with
00:16:23.097 --> 00:16:23.865
I may be a pear with a little bit of olive
00:16:23.931 --> 00:16:24.732
A little bit of olive flavor to me.
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:25.333
[laughter]
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:25.900
Right?
00:16:26.167 --> 00:16:26.634
Right? but what it is is that
00:16:26.701 --> 00:16:28.636
But what it is is that we don't have to
00:16:28.703 --> 00:16:29.337
We don't have to change who we are.
00:16:29.404 --> 00:16:30.571
Change who we are. the church doesn't have
00:16:30.638 --> 00:16:31.372
The church doesn't have to change its mission
00:16:31.439 --> 00:16:33.141
To change its mission and its outreach.
00:16:33.207 --> 00:16:34.175
And its outreach. really, this message
00:16:34.242 --> 00:16:35.109
Really, this message of one new man,
00:16:35.176 --> 00:16:36.210
Of one new man, what it does, jonathan,
00:16:36.277 --> 00:16:37.378
What it does, jonathan, is it enhances a ministry.
00:16:37.445 --> 00:16:39.514
Is it enhances a ministry. it enhances a church.
00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:41.049
It enhances a church. it gives people
00:16:41.115 --> 00:16:42.250
It gives people hands-on experiences
00:16:42.316 --> 00:16:44.719
Hands-on experiences as to what they can do
00:16:44.786 --> 00:16:46.254
As to what they can do and how they can experience
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.955
And how they can experience a deeper understanding
00:16:48.022 --> 00:16:48.790
A deeper understanding of the lord.
00:16:48.856 --> 00:16:49.190
Of the lord. >> well, let me
00:16:49.257 --> 00:16:49.724
>> well, let me repeat something.
00:16:49.791 --> 00:16:50.458
Repeat something. i'll ask you
00:16:50.525 --> 00:16:51.092
I'll ask you in a different way
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:51.592
In a different way because it's so important.
00:16:51.659 --> 00:16:53.394
Because it's so important. why do you think understanding
00:16:53.461 --> 00:16:56.130
Why do you think understanding the jewish culture of jesus
00:16:56.197 --> 00:16:58.099
The jewish culture of jesus is key to deepening
00:16:58.166 --> 00:17:00.268
Is key to deepening a believer's faith expression.
00:17:00.334 --> 00:17:01.769
A believer's faith expression. i know you've already
00:17:01.836 --> 00:17:02.336
I know you've already talked about it,
00:17:02.403 --> 00:17:02.937
Talked about it, but i just -- i wanna
00:17:03.004 --> 00:17:03.771
But i just -- i wanna keep hammering this home,
00:17:03.838 --> 00:17:05.173
Keep hammering this home, because this is important
00:17:05.239 --> 00:17:06.040
Because this is important for you that are watching.
00:17:06.107 --> 00:17:07.575
For you that are watching. >> it's so key especially
00:17:07.642 --> 00:17:09.310
>> it's so key especially in these times.
00:17:09.377 --> 00:17:10.178
In these times. i mentioned it before
00:17:10.244 --> 00:17:11.045
I mentioned it before about contextualizing jesus
00:17:11.112 --> 00:17:13.247
About contextualizing jesus to look like us or to be
00:17:13.314 --> 00:17:16.184
To look like us or to be made in our image.
00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:17.618
Made in our image. i think what happens
00:17:17.685 --> 00:17:19.053
I think what happens is believers will run the risk
00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:23.458
Is believers will run the risk of eisegeting scripture,
00:17:23.524 --> 00:17:25.460
Of eisegeting scripture, not properly exegeting it.
00:17:25.526 --> 00:17:27.095
Not properly exegeting it. >> could you explain that?
00:17:27.161 --> 00:17:27.762
>> could you explain that? i don't think most --
00:17:27.829 --> 00:17:28.362
I don't think most -- >> eisegesis is when
00:17:28.429 --> 00:17:29.931
>> eisegesis is when we interpret scripture
00:17:29.997 --> 00:17:31.332
We interpret scripture with our own understanding
00:17:31.399 --> 00:17:32.900
With our own understanding or our own assumptions.
00:17:32.967 --> 00:17:34.669
Or our own assumptions. exegesis is when
00:17:34.735 --> 00:17:36.003
Exegesis is when we interpret scripture
00:17:36.070 --> 00:17:37.772
We interpret scripture for the context
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.007
For the context and the intention,
00:17:40.074 --> 00:17:41.008
And the intention, god's intention behind it.
00:17:41.075 --> 00:17:42.610
God's intention behind it. >> you're not proving
00:17:42.677 --> 00:17:43.344
>> you're not proving a scripture for your point.
00:17:43.411 --> 00:17:44.345
A scripture for your point. >> there it is.
00:17:44.412 --> 00:17:45.146

What's it's trying -- what the scripture is
00:17:46.881 --> 00:17:47.515
What the scripture is saying within its context.
00:17:47.582 --> 00:17:48.683
Saying within its context. >> 100% of that.
00:17:48.749 --> 00:17:49.617
>> 100% of that. >> this is a revelation, petra.
00:17:49.684 --> 00:17:51.419
>> this is a revelation, petra. the light came on with you.
00:17:51.486 --> 00:17:53.688

You will start to dig into this and that light will go on.

And that light will go on. and it will really change
00:17:59.393 --> 00:18:00.161
And it will really change your relationship with the lord.

Their mother was dead, and their father abandoned them.
