What Does “Under the Law” Really Mean?

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews how in the not-too-distant future, today’s Messianic people will be forced to truly weigh the severity of what it means to be “the end-time move of God.”

Mark Huey of Outreach Israel Ministries delivers the following message on the Torah portion for this week: Toldot or “History.”

This article addresses the clause “under the Law” (Grk. hupo nomon), how it is used, and what it means in its appropriate context in view of what both the Tanach and Apostolic Scriptures tell us about the significance of God’s Torah.

John McKee discusses how the message of the gospel and the Holy Scriptures is one which is frequently subverting the claims of the world. This is particularly seen when delving into Colossians 1:15-20, and comparing and contrasting the activity of Yeshua with that of the figure of Wisdom, and how it especially affects our understanding of Yeshua's Divinity.

Shabbat Weekly Reflection

The development of today’s modern Messianic Jewish movement goes back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, as Jewish Believers in Israel’s Messiah established congregations, synagogues, and assemblies with the mission of facilitating Jewish outreach, Jewish evangelism, and solidarity with the State of Israel. This is a mission which continues to our present day, and should ever be on the hearts and minds of those involved with today’s Messianic congregations.

Today’s Messianic community is a venue for Jewish outreach and evangelism. Unlike more customary Protestant evangelism, where the main purpose is to reach out with the love of the Lord to a hurting world beset by sin—the Messianic community has to go further, in invoking the First Century dynamics of “God brought to Israel a Savior—Yeshua” (Acts 13:23, TLV), in actually proving to some significant degree that Yeshua is the anticipated Messiah.

Every Messianic congregation or assembly, whether it is in Israel, North America, or elsewhere, is going to have some vehicle for Jewish outreach and involvement in the local Jewish community.
