Breaking Israel News—How Christians Embracing Torah Could Signal Ultimate Redemption:
“And Hashem [Yahweh] shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall Hashem [Yahweh] be One and His name one.” Zechariah 14:9 (The Israel Bible™)
When Christians seek to live, as best they can, according to the Torah, how should Jewish people react? And does it have any implications for the ultimate redemption?
This inspiring new phenomenon is found today all over the globe. In Aqaba, Jordan, a community of approximately 70 non-Jews is striving to live a Bible-oriented life.

SnyderTalk Comment:
I know some of these people. I may know most of them. I’ve visited with them several times over the years in Aqaba, and I’ve met with some of them on occasion in Israel for Yom Kippur and Sukkot.
They are amazing people who are doing amazing things in the Holy Land. I pray that Yahweh will continue to bless them and their efforts on His behalf.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
