Yeshua-Focused Torah Living in the Midst of a Woke and Insane Generation

;

Who We Are and What We Believe-Teach and Promote

Shalom, and welcome to The Messianic Torah Observer. The Messianic Torah Observer is a web-based ministry of QFC. Our aim is to promote, teach and preach Yeshua-focused Torah Living. 
 

What exactly do we mean by Yeshua-Focused Torah Living?

 

Well, our central theme is derived from the shocking statement our Master made to His inner-core disciples on an unnamed hilltop:

 

Do not think that I have come to loosen Torah or the Prophets. I have not come to loosen but to fulfill. For truly I say to you that until heaven and earth pass away, not one Yodh or one stroke will pass from Torah until everything happens. All who loosen, therefore, from one (of) these small commandments and teach thus to the sons of man, will be called little in the Kingdom of Heaven, but all who do and teach this will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds more than that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:17-20; AENT).

 

Denominationalists have over the years used this, what I have come to refer to as a critical key to the Kingdom, to promote an anti-Jewish and anti-Torah agenda that has resulted in many of the faithful adopting “anomic” (aka an iniquitous or lawless) lifestyle and belief system. Our Catholic counterparts are no different, having chosen to also live and believe in a manner that is not consistent with the Creator’s prescribed Way of life for His human creation. And what did Yeshua say would happen to such individuals on judgment day?

 

“I will profess to them that from everlasting, I have NOT known you. Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity (aka lawlessness; without Torah)” (Matthew 7:23; AENT).

 

I don’t know about you beloved, but I certainly want to make it into the Kingdom. I want to hear our Master on that great and fearsome day say to me: “Well done good and faithful servant! You have been faithful…” (Matthew 25:21). And certainly, if you are of a spiritually right mind, you too desire to make it into the Kingdom and to hear Master Yahoshua congratulate you with a well-done, good and faithful servant.

 

But the trillion-dollar question that must be answered in response to our fervent desires for inheriting the Kingdom is how do we make it into the Kingdom? What must we do in our lives today to get Master Yahoshua to call us good and faithful servants who have been faithful?

Turns out that Yeshua-Focused Torah Living holds the key to our making it into the Kingdom of God and to our hearing our Messiah declare us as good and faithful servants. And this is what this ministry is focused on: Living that exceeding righteous life that gets us into the Kingdom.

 

Thus, we believe the Hebrew-Messianic-Netzari-Faith to be superior to any Abrahamic Faith in existence today for it provides the truth-seeker with the keys to the Kingdom.  

If you’ve been seeking your whole life for the true path to the Kingdom that Yeshua and His elected-selected-anointed disciples turned apostles preached and taught, and you desire to truly walk that narrow path that leads to life, turn your life over to Yehovah today, for today is the day of salvation. First, believe that Yeshua died for your sins so that you may enter into a true and substantive covenant relationship with the Creator of the Universe. If you believe that Yeshua did, in fact, die for your sins, turn to Yehovah, confess your sins to Him, and ask His forgiveness. You don’t need a priest or preacher to make this happen. This is a personal thing that must be between you and your Father. Yeshua will be there interceding on your behalf. Then, determine from that time forward to walk exclusively in His ways and never look back.

 

You’re going to need to be to be water immersed (aka baptized) at some point sooner than later. But in the meantime, you’re going to need to become a disciple of Yeshua Messiah so that you can learn to walk in Yah’s holy and righteous ways and please Him. Connect with a local Messianic Congregation that Yehovah, your Father, directs and leads you to.

 

Beloved: Today is the day of salvation.

 

And remember: We are always here to provide any assistance that we possibly can. So please don’t hesitate to contact us through the various contact mediums posted on this site.

How to Get the Most out of TMTO

 

This ministry in its present format cannot replace or fully substitute the set-apart convocation or fellowship that the writer of Hebrews admonished his readers not to forsake (Hebrews 10:25). But what we have been led to put together for any covenant-keeping Kingdom-seekers is a discipling and kingdom conditioning resource. We believe that the content that is housed on this platform will equip any would-be Netzer who possesses a circumcised heart and spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear. So, we humbly encourage you to grab your favorite cup of soothing coffee or tea, maybe a crumpet or two, and settle in for some rather engaging content that we are certain will enhance your walk in Yeshua Messiah. We post content on this platform at least once a week.

 

First and foremost, we encourage every visitor and subscriber to listen to The Messianic Torah Observer podcast and blog posts. We cover a great number of topics, issues, and subjects, all of which are relevant to our Faith-walk. If you have a specific topic or issue you wish to read or hear about, we strongly encourage you to make full use of the Podcast and Blog “Index Page.”

 

Furthermore, if you are committed to walking in a Yeshua-Focused Torah life, make good use of the Observational Hebrew Calendar (updated monthly) that we provide on this platform to keep you up to date on the days that our Heavenly Father has set aside for those who are called by His Name to meet with and worship Him.

 

We ask that all visitors and subscribers to this site feel free to reach out to us if they have any questions related to the posted content via our primary email addresses: perceptionwp@gmail.com and notasyouperceive@gmail.com. Subscribe to this ministry if you are so led, so that we may inform you of any future TMTO happenings. Follow us on the indicated social media platforms as well.

 

 

Netsari-Messianic Nazarene Calendar

J-nuary 31, 2025 was the First Day of the 11th Biblical Month of this Sacred Calendar Year.

And note: There are no mandated Feasts in the 11th Month.

 See the 11th Month Calendar in Essentials of the Faith

Note: (1) Rosh Chodesh denotes the New Moon or the start of a new Biblical Month on the Hebrew Calendar. (2) All provided dates are derived from the Observational Calendar. We rely upon the sighting of the renewed moon over the Land of Israel to determine the start of new months as well as when Feasts will occur. Thus, the “Projected” in parentheses next to each calendar event denotes the printed date pending the sighting of the renewed moon. (3) For specifics on each month, we encourage you to reference the calendar we post each month under the Essentials of the Faith menu. (4) The parenthetical (Projected) is to alert that the cited dates are wholly dependent on (A) the maturity of the barley crop and (B) the siting of the renewed moon from the land of Yisra’el at the end of the 12th Biblical Month. See our discussion on “Why I Keep the Torah  (Observational) Calendar and not the Other Popular Messianic Calendars.”

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump Meet in Washington

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington DC on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. Netanyahu is the first foreign head of state to meet and visit the Trump 47 Administration.

The discussions between the two leaders encompassed several topics, including the current Gazan-Israeli War Cease Fire, the future of the Gaza Stripe, preventing Iran from going nuclear, and America’s unwavering support for her friend and close ally Israel. President Trump announced that he and Netanyahu discussed the possibilities of the U.S. taking over the rebuilding of the Gaza Stripe and the monumental relocation and resettling of Palestinians to surrounding Arab nations. These two topics alone sent the Liberal Left into a tailspin who spent the last two years essentially supporting and advocating the pipe-dream of a two-state solution between Israel and the so-called Palestinian people. The mutual thinking of the two is that Hamas can no longer be allowed to exist in Gaza and that the current condition of Gaza – devastated by 400+ days of war – prohibits so-called Palestinians from safely resettling in Gaza. Plans are underway to relocate 100’s of 1,000’s of Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan, despite both nations vowing they will not accept the Palestinians at any cost. 

All of what has transpired in just the last two days regarding Israel and Netanyahu is uncharted, controversial waters to say the least. But this administration is the first one to propose such bold, decisive actions to resolve the decades’ long turmoil in the region. Let us pray for the safety and wisdom of this U.S. President and the peace of Jerusalem.

Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks Begin in Earnest in Riyadh

Ukraine-Russian War Peace talks have begun in earnest in Riyadh. Both sides of the conflict are raising concerns about the terms for a potential ceasefire. Time will tell where this all goes. But this is part of the promises U.S. President Donald Trump made to the American people during his campaign: To end the senseless death and destruction of this conflict.

U.S. Military Takes Out Syrian Terrorist. Is this the start of something bigger in terms of U.S. involvement in the ongoing Middle East conflicts?

President Trump announces U.S. forces conducted a precision airstrike and took out an Al-Qaeda leader in Syria this weekend (Amir Tsarfati). Is this the tip-off to a long-term involvement of the U.S. military in the multi-front conflict that has plagued this part of the world for several years? Regardless, the terrorist who was killed had been on a short list to eliminate for a while, having been portrayed by the commander of U.S. CENTCOM as a threat to the U.S. homeland.

Tense and Trying Days Ahead for Yisrael

Amir Tsarfati reports: “The IDF has begun withdrawing from Lebanon – except for five strategic points where the IDF remains. The Northern Command clarifies this morning, “We are headed for tense days – we will vigorously enforce any blatant violation.””

Is Egypt on the Verge of Attacking Israel?

Amir posted the following observation on his Telegram page:

A few comments on the increased discourse in recent days (after October 7th, I don’t want to say panic) surrounding the possibility that Egypt will attack Israel in the immediate or near future:

1. The strengthening of the Egyptian military is a real and well-known problem, which has been neglected by the IDF for years, if not decades. Only in the last year, and even more so, has there been real awareness of this challenge and it has begun to receive attention from the system.

2. The Egyptians have even exceeded the scope of forces that the Camp David Accords allow them to maintain in Sinai – and absurdly, they did so (at least partially) with Israel’s approval. The first significant deviation occurred starting in 2013 and continued in waves until 2021, under the pretext of combating the ISIS branch in Sinai. The second significant deviation occurred at the beginning of the current war, when Egypt brought its military forces closer to the border of the Gaza Strip under the pretext of preventing Gazans from breaking into Sinai.

3. Egypt dug underground passages under to the Suez Canal, which allow the Egyptian army to cross the canal with large forces in a relatively short time. In addition, all descriptions of the Egyptian army’s exercises simulate a war against Israel and not against other neighboring countries.

4. In recent days, there have been worrying statements by several senior Egyptian officials, mainly second-tier, regarding the possibility of war with Israel. However, no significant change has occurred in the deployment or preparation of Egyptian forces in Sinai in recent days.

5. The statement by the Israeli ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, regarding Egypt’s violations of the peace agreement and the increased presence of the Egyptian army in Sinai was made by him about three weeks ago, but has gained momentum online and in the media only in the past 24 hours, against the backdrop of the discourse surrounding a possible Egyptian attack. This is a general concern that Leiter expressed about the matter, and not in response to some trigger or fresh sign.

6. The IDF has a relatively good response to a regular attack by the Egyptian army through its armored divisions. There are also more challenging scenarios, for which a response is also being prepared.

7. Bottom line: The strengthening of the Egyptian army and its presence in Sinai are real problems, but in recent days no unusual event has occurred on the ground that would justify an extraordinary fear of an immediate attack. However, after October 7, the IDF must be prepared for any extreme scenario at any given moment – even if its likelihood seems supposedly low.

We gotta pray for the peace of Jerusalem; the wisdom of Yisra’el’s political and military leaders; and the safety and wellbeing of the nation. Things seem to be getting worse before they get better.

A Most Dreadful Day in Yisrael as the Remains of Two Babies and their Mother Return to the Homeland

Amir Tsarfati Posted:

Prime Minister’s Office: Israel has received, through the Red Cross, the coffins of four deceased hostages. The coffins were handed over to the IDF and Shin Bet forces, inside the Gaza Strip, from where they will be transferred to Israel to the Ministry of Health’s National Center for Forensic Medicine. At the end of the identification process, an official notification will be given to the families. The families of the kidnapped have been informed, and our hearts go out to them at this difficult time. The public is asked to respect the families’ privacy and refrain from spreading rumors and information that is not official and well-founded. We will continue to update with reliable information as needed.
My heart, as I’m sure most of yours, is broken. This stuff happens to soldiers who fall victim to the horrors of war. But not to mothers and their babies. The enemy and his kingdom have crossed lines of descency unimagined in times gone by. Today, our cousins mourn and contemplate the future of their lives and the Land that Yah gave to them 3,500+ years ago. May Yah’s loving hands of protection be upon them and over the Land. And may our cousins come to know Yahoshua as their Mashiyach in the pardon of their sins and in a return to the covenant relationship they are meant to have with Yehovah.
