Understanding
our Jewish Roots
Did You
KNOW?…
1) The Torah is the first 5 books of our bible and
was written when in captivity in Babylon.
2) The Jews were blinded so WE could be saved
3) God commanded the Jews to be a people
of Remembrance and to preserve their
traditions
4) Its our duty and command of the Lord to
provoke the Jews to jealousy towards God
5) 1st century believers had no bible
Understanding
our Jewish Roots
Why do we need to
KNOW
1) IN times of religious persecution history
shows 3 groups: Jews, Christians and Muslims
2) If we don’t stand up for Israel, who stands up
for us when there’s no one left.
3) The fastest heresy in the Christian church
is replacement theology.
4) Its the thermometer of our love for each
other and God.
5) Because God will be hold us accountable.
Understanding
our Jewish Roots
Your People shall be My People
Because, like Ruth in the Old Testament, every Gentile believer has come out of the land of
famine and into the spiritual realm of abundance in the name of Jesus. But, unlike Ruth, we
have turned our backs on the relatives of the Messiah. We need to confess personally and on
behalf of the Church for centuries of persecution of the Jewish people, taking every
opportunity to bless and not to curse them. Once again, Israel and her people are center stage
at a crucial moment in world history, and this book shows why the Church must effect
reconciliation and how Israel, the Jewish people and the Christian Church will come together
in the last days.

Chapter 1
The Beginning of the End
Not until I was challenged to take another look at the Scriptures - the prophets, the apostles
and Jesus Himself - did I become aware that God still has a plan for His covenant people and
that their return to their ancestral home signals the beginning of the end.
Chapter 2
The "Greater Riches" World Revival
The unparalleled growth of the Church in our day, heralding the greatest awakening in world
history, is connected to the rebirth of Israel
Chapter 3
Israel - A Nation of Priests
Israel and the Jewish people have made a profound impact - both secular and spiritual - on
the nations and have kept alive faith in the one true God.
Your People shall be My People
Chapter 4 -The Targeted Annihilation
From the call of Abraham down to the present time, man's invisible enemy has targeted Israel
for extinction in order to thwart the purposes of God and abort His promises.
Chapter 5 -The Early Jewish "Church"
Although salvation was accomplished through the completed work of the Messiah alone, the
all-Jewish Early Church continued to observe Sabbath and celebrate the feasts as a
proclamation of the Messiah who had fulfilled them.
Chapter 6 - The "Gentilizing" of the Church
When the Romans destroyed the Temple and the city of Jerusalem, the Church assumed that
God was finished with Israel and soon demanded that Jewish believers forsake their own
heritage.
Chapter 7 - Division - The DNA of the Gentile Church
The rejection of Jewish "parentage" in the Lord is the first major division in the Body of the
Lord - a mutation that has entered the body, which will not be made whole until this wound is
healed.
Chapter 8 - Return to the Land
Both the incidents leading to the rebirth of the nation of Israel and the circumstances
surrounding that epic event defy explanation except in terms of the miraculous intervention of
the Almighty.
Chapter 9 - The Awakening
According to the prophets, Israel's return to the Land signifies the time of her spiritual
awakening as evidenced by the astounding growth of the messianic community of believers.
Your People shall be My People
Chapter 10
The Resurrected "Nazarenes"
Many questions have arisen as Jewish people by the hundreds of thousands have come to
faith and Jesus-believing synagogues have been established around the world.
Chapter 11
Jew and Gentile - "One New Man"
The words of Paul, the Jewish apostle to the Gentiles, take on fresh meaning as we consider
the coming together of Jew and Gentile in our day.
Chapter 12
A Time to Pray
The prophetic fulfillment we are now seeing is a call to the church to participate with God in its
completion and to hasten the Second Coming of Messiah to Earth.
Chapter 13
The Final Exodus
Just as in the exodus from Egypt and the "second exodus" of Israel from the nations, so the
final exodus of the entire Body of Messiah - the exodus to meet our King - will not be without
its preceding plagues and persecution.
Chapter 14
Blessed to be a Blessing
Practical ways in which the Church, blessed through her Jewish roots, can enter her fullest
destiny by blessing her elder brother.

CHAPTER 4
THE TARGETED ANNIHILATION
THE PLOT TO DESTROY THE SEED
Look over these names, events and peoples as they relate to the Genesis 3:15
promised “seed of the woman” who would crush Satan’s head and Satan’s plot to
destroy the Seed, and consider how often God’s promise in the Garden has been
threatened.
•The murder of the “good son” Abel •The disintegration of the whole race before the
flood •The rebellion of the Tower of Babel •After Abraham’s call, Sarah’s barrenness
•Rebecca’s barrenness •Famine during the time of Jacob (Israel) •Israel in Egyptian
bondage •Idolatry in the wilderness
•After the call of David, his sons become the targets •The promise in young King
Joash at which time the entire Davidic Messianic promise rested in the loins of a oneyear-old. •Unfaithfulness and exile to Assyria and Babylon
•The “Seed” in the young virgin Mary •The attempts on the life of Jesus during his
earthly years •Since Jesus’ crucifixion, resurrection and ascension, the targeted
family •Romans, early Christian replacement theology, Byzantines, Crusaders,
Inquisition, Pogroms, Nazism, Muslim extremists today, etc.
CHAPTER 4
THE TARGETED ANNIHILATION
Questions for consideration:
1) Why did Satan keep tempting Israel into idolatry?
2) Why was Israel not to intermarry?
3) How does this “intermarriage” apply to today?
4) Why is the story of Esther of such importance to Jewish people and to us?
5) What is so important about the events commemorated in Hanukkah?
IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME
In Daniel 2:31-45 Daniel tells the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar both his dream and
the interpretation. Recall Daniel’s interpretation and how it depicts the time of the
Romans in which the Messiah was to be born. Paul tells us in Galatians 4:4, “But when
the time had fully come, God sent His Son.”
What were some of the ways in which God had prepared the time of Jesus and Paul
for the spread of the gospel of the kingdom of God?
