Yochanan Presents the Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah
A Messianic Commentary

As a Jew studying these writings, I have often felt uncomfortable with the fact that most of the assumptions concerning this prophecy are based on Christian “Replacement Theology,” an idea that might have been conceived in the days of Yochanan but had not even budded, much less, birthed. My first question was, “Since Christianity hadn’t really been born at that time, why couldn’t the Book of the Revelation be a Jewish book, understood through the texts of the Torah and its Jewish midrashic interpretations?” My next question was, “Why aren’t Jewish interpretations at least part of this conversation?” As unconventional as it may seem, this book is an attempt to answer these questions.

To present the Book of Revelation from a Jewish perspective is a daunting task. It requires rethinking much of what has been written for two millennia. It feels to me a little bit like Copernicus who tried to convince people that the earth revolved around the sun at a time when most people were convinced that it was the other way around. I will therefore ask the reader to give it a charitable read and an honest hearing, patiently waiting for the “jury” to return. I know you’ll find what I have written to be interesting and revelatory.​

Under the Vine
Messianic Thought Through the Hebrew Calendar

Journey daily through the Hebrew Calendar and Biblical Feasts into the B'rit Hadashah (New Testament) Scriptures as they are put in their rightful context, bringing Judaism alive in its full beauty. Messianic faith was the motor and what gave substance to Abraham's new beliefs, hope to Job, trust to Isaac, vision to Jacob, resilience to Joseph, courage to David, wisdom to Soloman, knowledge to Daniel, and divine Messianic authority to Yeshua.
