Thank you for the information you wrote. I
have had my share of encounters with those who I
consider to be a cult, that preach that we must
all become Hebrews, and under the Law, Dietary
and all. I had never thought of the Melchizedek
comments in Hebrews, though I had used Hebrews
to debate with them.
I want to say, before I post the following,
that I am not opposed to researching, and
learning about Hebrew culture. Understanding the
Law and the feasts are essential to a deeper and
more fulfilling understanding of our Savior, who
fulfilled those Laws, and feasts.
There are many good Christian sources out
there with information on this Hebrew culture,
and there are also some that have an
un-Christian Agenda. The following Articles will
give any Christian who is about to study these
things a sense of what to watch out
for. This is meat, and not milk. I
hope The readers have the stomach to
digest it. (I know you do Jim).
The first link is a broad overview, while the
second is a goes into much more detail and is
much longer...two parts.
Know this, that I love Israel, the people,
and share in the sentiments of Paul in awaiting
for their redemption as predicted by the OT
prophets. I have contended with many an
anti-Semite in my day, and am not an
anti-Semite. These May be some hard articles to
digest for those of you who are "into" this
movement. I am not trying to offend, only to
inform.
I am of the opinion, that this will be
the nature of the "falling away", and they may
even back this up with false signs and wonders
including the supposed Ark of the Covenant
coming to "life" as an "image" of the beast. (I
know this has been a point of contention so if
the moderator sees the need, you may
cut this last paragraph)
God Bless
