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 Calendar

Searchers in the Land of Israel Were Unsuccessful in Sighting the 7th Renewed Moon of this Biblical Calendar Year Thursday, 10/3/24. So, by Default on Friday 10/4/24 at Sundown Yom Teruah/Day of the Blowing of Trumpets and the Fall Feasts of the LORD wll Commence.

Yom Kippurim (aka the Day of Atonement) on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

Sukkot (aka the Feast of Tabernalces and the Last Great Day) beginning on Sunday, October 20 through Shabbat on October 27, 2024. 

 See 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.”

Israel Makes Bold but High-Tech Move Against Her Enemy in the North

In a move out of an intense action-adventure cloak and dagger movie, Israel reached out and touched her enemy in the north – Hezbollah in Lebanon. According to the most recent reports, Israel allegedly caused thousands of supposed Hezbollah pagers (yes, Hezbollah fighters are using pagers instead of cellphones to communicate) were injured, incapacitated, or killed when they exploded on their persons. The news of this bold news by Israel has sent shockwaves throughout the region. Israel is now preparing for the backlash that is sure to come from this incident. Pray for the peace of Yerushalayim. 

The Pope Outright Denies a Fundamental Principle of Scripture to the World

In a recent message delivered to a group of children in Singapore, Pope Francis declared that there are many paths or ways to Yehovah. In so saying, he insinuated all religions worship the same One God of the Bible, be they Muslim, Hindu, or Christian.

We’ve known for a number of years now that this pope has been instrumental in working to bring all of the major religions of the world together as one. Although I do not believe that this pope is the illusive antichrist of the Book of Revelation, Pope Francis clearly possesses the mind and spirit of the AntiMessiah.

There is only one way to Yehovah. And that way is through Yeshua HaMashiyach (John 14.6).

Yeshua warned it is by their fruit we will know them (Matthew 7.16-20)

The World Formally Stands Against Israel

On September 18, 2024, the United Nations voted 124 to 14 to strip Israel of her right to defend herself against her attacking enemies in Gaza and the West Bank. Indeed, the ongoing Gazan War seems to be putting into place the essential pieces for a global attack against Israel. The world is showing her true colors by denying Israel her due right to defend herself against Islamic Terrorism. If the shoes were on the United States’ or France’s or Britain’s feet, no one would blame them for defending themselves. But because the world hates Yehovah and His people, that anti-God spirit is showing in the behavior of the nations of this world that have stood with the Kingdom of Darkness. 

A Version of ChatGPT that Possesses the Ability to Reason

We’ve all been expecting it, but it now appears clear that mainstream AI (i.e., the AI for public consumption and use) that has the ability to reason will soon be accessible to all. ChatGPT 01 promises to deliver an AI resource that can reason. What does this mean for the world? Will the Kingdom of Darkness seize this opportunity to take over the hearts and minds and souls of the nation peoples of the world through the internet? I certainly believe this is possible and likely. These are indeed exciting times to be alive.

Israel Makes Deadly Move Against Hezbollah in Lebanon

Israel’s Air Defense Force has been unrelenting in its bombardment of Southern Lebanon, specifically against believed Hezbollah assets in that region. Reports show that Israel’s aerial attacks have resulted in dozens of deaths and scores of severe injuries. These aerial attacks follow last week’s triggered explosions of thousands of Hezbollah pagers and other communication devices by Israel’s intelligence agencies and Hezbollah’s subsequent launching of missiles and drones into populated regions of Israel. Israel has vowed that she will guarantee the safe return of displaced Israelis to their homes in the north. Many believe that these latest aerial attacks are to prepare for a full-blown invasion of Southern Lebanon to either push Hezbollah away from proximity to Northern Israel, or to outright destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon. 

The Leader of the Terrorist Group Hezbollah is Dead

In a precision bombing attack in a suburb of Lebanon, Hezbollah’s long-time leader met his end. A catastrophic but precise bombing killed Hassan Nasrallah, some of his top leaders, and his command-and-control center. There seems to be no end to Israel’s resourcefulness and far-reaching effective and powerful strikes to the heart and soul of a terrorist organization that has been responsible for the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people around the world. Truly Yehovah watches over Israel and He neither slumbers nor sleeps. His arms of protection surround and His dome over Israel keeps them. Israel’s enemies have not only messed with the wrong people, but they’ve messed with the wrong God! The only God. The God who watches over His people Israel.

Hurricane Helene Devastates Southeastern USA

Hurricane Helene struck the US with devastating winds and storm-surge on Thursday, 9/26/24 that left death and destruction in its path. As of Monday, 9/30/2024, over one-hundred souls have been lost, hundreds have been injured, and millions are still without power and are inundated with flood waters in many locales. Prayers are needed in great measure to move heaven to rescue many of these storm-victims.

Israel Commences Long-Anticipated Ground Invasion of Southern Lebanon

The IDF has commenced her long-anticipated invasion of Lebanon with limited ground forces. This turns the page on the progress of Israel’s war against terror group Hezbollah. Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah has launched countless attacks against the Jewish state, supposedly in solidarity with the terror group Hamas operating out of Gaza. Throughout this period, Israel has engaged Hezbollah with sort of a tit-for-tat response to its assaults against the homeland. However, within the last few weeks, Israel has taken unparalleled actions against Hezbollah, with the two greatest actions being the high-tech use of electronic warfare against the communication systems that the terror-group uses, and the assassination of Hezbollah’s top leaders. Now, the war to annihilate Hezbollah and to restore peace to Northern Israel jumps into high gear with intense aerial bombing of suspected terror hotspots and this limited ground invasion of Southern Lebanon. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. 

Israel Suffers Terror and Massive Missile Attacks

On 10/1/2024, our Israeli cousins sustained two on-the-ground Palestinian terrorist attacks that resulted in the deaths of 6 souls and injuries to several others. Quick responding IDF soldiers dispatched forthright both attackers. Iran launched a massive ballistic missile attack, totaling some 200, against Israel, resulting in moderate damage to the nation’s cities and one death. Israel’s defense systems eliminated all but a few of the 200 missiles. Many believe this could alter the tenure of Israel’s fight against her enemies, as assuredly she will no doubt strike a damaging blow to Iran in short order.

Our Goal

To promote and teach Yeshua-focused Torah living to any with spiritual eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that is willing to obey Father Yah’s instructions in righteousness.

Our Purpose
