At Mikdash Meh’at and the Messianic Peshitta Fellowship, we confess without hesitation that יהוה alone is the one true God — the Creator of heaven and earth, the Holy One of Yisra’el, the God of Avraham, Yitz’khak, and Ya’akov. We also confess with equal conviction that Yeshua the Messiah is divine, eternal, preexistent, proceeded forthContinue reading “The Divine Son of God: Clarifying What We Mean About Yeshua”

Many believers today assume that truth must always sound exactly like the language developed in the fourth and fifth centuries. Yet when we examine the earliest post-apostolic writers—men such as Polycarp, Ignatius of Antioch, and Papias of Hierapolis—we find something much more organic, scriptural, and Hebraic in tone than the later theological systems that eventuallyContinue reading “Before the Councils: The Hebraic and Scriptural World of the Earliest Believers”

There is something quietly beautiful about a shelf full of worn, well-loved books. Not books written merely to fill space, chase trends, or echo the latest theological fashions—but books born out of years of study, prayer, teaching, worship, and walking with Messiah in everyday life. That is really the heart behind Perek Publications. Over theContinue reading “The Nail Well Driven”

The claim that Yeshua was a Pharisee is asserted, typically, because some of His ethical teachings resemble those associated with the House of Hillel. This is true, but it is far too simplistic historically. There are areas of overlap of Yeshua’s teaching with Pharisaic thought—especially on resurrection, judgment, almsgiving, and some other matters of Torah—butContinue reading “Yeshua Was Not a Pharisee”

The notion that UFOs are extraterrestrial beings is the ‘hot topic’ these days. I’ve been saying it for nearly 30 years, that before the Time of Jacob’s Trouble begins, they would start pushing the “Alien” narrative hard. They’ve been doing it in imaginations for years already. Books have been written by those who claim theyContinue reading “Aliens: I TOLD YOU SO, 36 years ago….”

Since just after the last Apostle died, Ephesians 2 has been read as if Paul is announcing the end of God’s Law—an internal shift from one covenant system to another, where Torah is essentially set aside in favor of something entirely different. But when you read the passage in its first-century setting—its language, its imagery,Continue reading “The Dividing Wall: Why Ephesians 2 Has Been Misread for Centuries”

  The Congregation of Yeshua the Messiah is anyone that confesses trust in the Son of God, and then assembles with others who do the same. In the time of the Apostles, that congregation had access to the Scriptures. But there was a season where that access was not granted to all people. After theContinue reading ““He Who Has Ears to Hear…” — The Spirit’s Call to Rightly Hear the Word “

Today, Christianity and Judaism are two very distinct, almost diametrically opposed religions on certain doctrines. But Yeshua, a Jewish man who grew up in the heart of Israel, did not once intimate that He would establish a new religion. He did say, at the ‘northern gate’ of Israel, that the “Gates of Hades” would notContinue reading ““Helm! Right One-Degree Rudder!” How A Minor Course Change Transformed The Faith”

Shadows Before the Storm: Iran, Intelligence, and the Shape of Things to Come The Iran War is causing tension at home. On one side, there is anti-Semitic language that says Trump is just doing the bidding of a war-mongering Israel. They’re saying our political leaders are being pushed or dragged into a useless war justContinue reading “Shadows Before the Storm: Iran, Intelligence, and the Shape of Things to Come”

Trump is catching flack for his interpretation of the 14th Amendment. He argues that it does not automatically grant citizenship to every single person born in the U.S. And, regardless of personal sentiment, he is actually right, but how that is interpreted can be debated. The phrase he is referencing should not be ignored: “subjectContinue reading “Birthright Citizenship, Elasticity, and Biblical Insight”
