Greetings friends and family!
Recently a lot of thoughts came together for me in the form of a message which I put notes together for, which I delivered in video form and have posted on YouTube.

It's about 10 minutes long, and to give a sneak peak into it, I will say that it looks at how the "church" historically broke away from Israel, how that never should happened - mind you, Israel is a people as well, not just limited to the Holy Land or the Jews, as I read scripture... I also examine how the Jews got away from their promised Messiah - the great SPLIT.
BUT, these days, Christians are returning to their Jewish heritage (see Romans 11 for gentiles grafted into a Jewish olive tree and Ephesians 2:12-13 for gentiles brought near to the commonwealth of Israel...) by embracing the Torah that Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus) always taught and encouraged to practice (Matthew 19:17-19, Matthew 5:17-19, Matthew 23:1-3). Contrary to perhaps popular belief, after Jesus' resurrection, He gave the great commission which states we should make disciples, TEACHING them what Jesus taught His disciples. And from the above verses, you can see He taught to keep the commandments from the Torah - the instruction given to Israel via Moses.
SO, Christians are seeing they are grafted into Israel and that it's a good thing to keep the Torah, and Jews are embracing their Jewish Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) - the Great REUNIFICATION, to represent the modern day Israel of God, as I read scripture!
Thus, the title of my message: "The Great Split & The Great Reunification" !
So, feel free to check out the video to hear even more about this topic, and if you do, I humbly hope the scriptures and history and present day reporting helps guide you further in your personal quest to follow God, or enlightens you in a small or big way!
