Who We Are and What We Believe-Teach and Promote

Welcome to The Messianic Torah Observer, a web-based ministry of QFC. Our mission is to inspire and guide you towards Yeshua-focused Torah Living, a path that promises spiritual fulfillment and a deeper connection with the Creator.

What does Yeshua-Focused Torah Living mean? It is rooted in the profound teachings of our Master, who declared:

“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)

Over the years, denominationalists have misinterpreted this key to the Kingdom, promoting an anti-Jewish and anti-Torah agenda. This has led many faithful individuals to adopt a lawless lifestyle and belief system. Our Catholic counterparts have similarly strayed from the Creator’s prescribed Way of life. On judgment day, Yeshua will say to such individuals:

“I will profess to them that from everlasting, I have NOT known you. Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity” (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 say:

“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful…” (Matthew 25:21).

If you share this desire, you must ask yourself: How do we make it into the Kingdom? What must we do today to be called good and faithful servants?

Yeshua-Focused Torah Living holds the key to our entry into the Kingdom of God and to hearing our Messiah declare us as good and faithful servants. This ministry is dedicated to living that exceedingly righteous life that leads us into the Kingdom.

We believe the Hebrew-Messianic-Netzari-Faith to be superior to any Abrahamic Faith in existence today, as it provides truth-seekers with the keys to the Kingdom5. If you’ve been searching for the true path to the Kingdom that Yeshua and His disciples preached and taught, turn your life over to Yehovah today. Believe that Yeshua died for your sins, confess your sins to Yehovah, and ask for His forgiveness. This is a personal journey between you and your Father, with Yeshua interceding on your behalf.

You will need to be water immersed (baptized) soon, but in the meantime, become a disciple of Yeshua Messiah to learn to walk in Yah’s holy and righteous ways. Connect with a local Messianic Congregation that Yehovah directs you to.

Beloved, today is the day of salvation8. Remember, we are always here to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us through the various mediums posted on this site.

So, grab your favorite cup of coffee or tea, maybe a crumpet or two, and settle in for some engaging content that will enhance your walk in Yeshua Messiah. We post new content at least once a week.

VAYERA: "AND HE APPEARED"

📖

Genesis 18:1–22:24 · Haftarah: 2 Kings 4:1–37 · Luke 17:28–37 Shabbat, the 19th Day of the 8th Biblical Month

This Shabbat, Yehovah appears to Avraham at the entrance of his tent, and what follows is one of the most searching chapters of Torah. Three truths rise out of Vayera, and each one speaks to the days we are living in.

Truth 1. The Lamb Yehovah Provides. On Mount Moriah, a father lifts the knife over his only son, and the son asks the question every generation must answer: “Where is the lamb?” Avraham replies, “God will provide for Himself the lamb” (Genesis 22:8). In the Akedah we see the Father giving His only son and the son walking up the mountain beside him. (The Akedah (“the binding”) is the Hebrew name for Genesis 22, where Yah tests Avraham by telling him to offer his son Yitzchak on Mount Moriah. Avraham obeys. At the last moment Yah stops him and provides a ram caught in the thicket in Yitzchak’s place.) Messianic teaching reads it as a picture of the Father giving His only Son and of the substitute lamb. This, of course, is the clear and vital link to the Person and Ministry of Yeshua.

Yeshua pointed to the same living God when He said, “He is not the God of the dead, but of the living” (Matthew 22:32). The ram caught in the thicket is the first picture of Mashiyach’s substitution, and it belongs beside our Melchizedek and Mashiyach ben David teaching.

Truth 2. Standing in the Gap. Before Sodom falls, Yehovah asks, “Shall I hide from Avraham what I am about to do?” and gives His reason: Avraham will teach his household to “keep the way of Yehovah, to do righteousness and justice” (Genesis 18:19). Avraham then bargains for the city, from fifty righteous down to ten (Genesis 18:22–33). In a week of war warnings, street riots, and an Israeli election, that is our calling too. We intercede for the nations as well as watching them. Yeshua pointed back to these very days when He warned about the days of Lot (Luke 17:28–29).

Truth 3. Faith That Acts. Avraham believed, and Avraham obeyed. “Was not Avraham our father justified by works when he offered up Yitzchak his son on the altar?” (James 2:21–24). To Moshe’s and Paul’s point, “And he (Avraham) believe in Yahweh, and He reckoned it to him as righteousness” (Genesis 15.6; Romans 4.3). This is the heart of our upcoming book and our recent teaching series, What Torah Can and Cannot Do for Us. Torah cannot save us, yet living faith cannot sit still either. It walks up the mountain.

Calendar signal: We read Vayera on the 19th day of the 8th month, with Israel’s election on the 15th and the US midterms on the 22nd. These are appointed days to watch, to pray, and to stand.

Join us this Shabbat. Read Genesis 18:1–22:24, 2 Kings 4:1–37, and Luke 17:28–37 along with us.
