As disciples of Messiah Yeshua, we teach the Hebrew path that He walked and His message of the restoration of the Kingdom of God.
the Fall Festivals of YHVH
YHVH draws His people back to the Covenant!
On Mount Sinai, God made a covenant with the Hebrew people. The covenant included Blessings for obedience to His Torah, and curses for disobedience. The most impactful 'curse' would be the scattering of His people - both Israel and Judah - throughout the world. This scattering took place in stages, and today the Hebrew people are still 'mixed' among the Gentiles.
The scattering of the Hebrew people is mentioned throughout the Old and New Testament, but along with the scattering, God promised that His people would be drawn back 'in the latter days'.
The fall festivals picture the drawing of His people - His 'Lost Sheep' back to Him, and Israel fulfilling the role they were given to spread the news of the restored 'Kingdom of God', and the glory of the 'God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob'.
"But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few."
NKJ Matt. 9:36-37

Festival Overview
God's festivals picture His plan for how He intends to provide salvation to all those who are willing to walk in his ways. Because the vast majority of those who have ever lived are not familier with the festivals, His plan includes a time when they will be taught His ways and have an opportunity to repent and be joined with God's covenant people.

Yom Teruah - In that Day!
Yom Teruah - otherwise known as the 'Feast of Trumpets' is the festival that ushers in the fall festival season. Scripture shows that on this day Yeshua will return and gather His bride - those who have walked humbly before Him and have kept His commandments. For those who have not, this day marks the beginning of the 'Birthpains of the Messiah', the Time of Jacob's Trouble. But there is a 'light at the end of the tunnel' for those who (re)turn to Him.

A Place of Refuge
During Yom Teruah, the earth will be experiencing what the prophets call the 'Birthpains of the Messiah', or as Christians call it - the Tribulation. The 'Birthpains' are God's punishment on His 'covenant people', and as it was for the Assyrian as well as the Babylonian captivity, both good and bad people were caught up in it. But in regards to the birthpains, God has provided a way of escape.

Yom Kippur - Jubilee
Yom Kippur is often associated with forgiveness of sins, but there is another aspect that is oftentimes overlooked ... the beginning of the Jubilee, a time when the Hebrews return to their land. Because of Yom Kippur's association with the Great Shofar, we also see that it is the time when God's people will seek HIM - and like it was in the Exodus, be drawn to the Promised Land.

Sukkot - the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is something that is very real. Just before Yeshua ascended into Heaven, His disciples asked if He would soon be RESTORING the kingdom to Israel. He did not correct them by saying that the Kingdom was something new, He just indicated that it was true. Sukkot pictures that soon to be restored Kingdom.

Last Great Day - Pouring Out His Spirit
On the 7th day of Sukkot, while watching the traditional 'Water Pouring Ceremony' - Yeshua cried out a prophecy stating that in the latter days, God's spirit would be poured out on all mankind. There is meaning to what He said that can only be understood by knowing what this ceremony, and the 7th day of Sukkot, meant to the 1st century Jewish people of that day.

the Hebrew Roots 'Awakening'!
Discover Hebrew Roots - the 'Way' God gave to Israel, the 'Way' Yeshua restored in His day, and the 'Way' taught by the disciples.
..."But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets...

Hebrew Roots?
James Tissot - Wikimedia Commons Hebrew Roots is an 'awakening' . . . a realization that Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) meant what He said when He told his disciples that 'not one jot or tittle would pass from the law til all things are fulfilled'. Since most prophecy has yet to be fulfilled, those of us who live by His words believe we should fashion our lives after the Torah-observant example of Yeshua.
To put it in a nutshell - we believe we are saved by His grace, and that saved people will attempt to follow in the footsteps of their Saviour.

the Hebrew Walk
The Hebrew Walk can best be illustrated by a straight path that leads to the Mountain of God. Sin, on the other hand, is when you get off the path, which frequently leads you over a cliff and headed for destruction. The remedy for sin is 'repentance' which in Hebrew simply means to 'return' - as in 'return to the path'.

Faith is knowing that you don't walk the path alone - that God is with you, protecting and providing along the way. -
Mystery of the Gospel
Paul and Tychicus by Gustave Doré, via Wikimedia God’s desire is that all mankind be saved, but how He plans to bring about that salvation has been hidden from his people – even many of the prophets – until He is ready to reveal it. Yeshua even said that He spoke in parables in order to conceal understanding of God's plan from the masses. Therefore, God's plan is a mystery to most people, but it is being revealed to His disciples.
The key to unlocking the mystery is found by taking the words of the prophets - beginning with Moses - and tying them to the words of Messiah Yeshua.

Ami Yisrael
'Ami Yisrael' is Hebrew for 'my people Israel'. We take the words of God, Yeshua, Moses, the prophets, and Yeshua's disciples seriously. Thus when Paul said "... if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gal. 3:29) we believe that applies to us. We are not trying to be Jewish, for the Jews are just a small part of the Hebrew people. Instead, we hope to pattern our lives after that of the Hebrew of Hebrews - Messiah Yeshua.
