Summary
In this compelling discussion, the family explore the deep connection between Christianity and its Jewish roots. Ron, Mike, Debbie, and Ken uncover how centuries of church history have drifted from the original faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They emphasize the need for believers to rediscover the Hebraic foundations of their faith, restoring the oneness that existed in the early church. As the Holy Spirit reveals truth for this present age, the group recognizes that God is blending Jew and Gentile together once again, preparing His bride for the culmination of the ages.
Show Notes
- The Root of the Faith: Christianity’s foundation is found in the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The early church lost its connection to Judaism, leading to centuries of misunderstanding.
- Historical Separation: By the second and third centuries, Christianity had distanced itself from its Jewish heritage, contributing to antisemitism and a perversion of the original message.
- The Law and Fulfillment: Jesus did not abolish the Law but fulfilled it (Matthew 5:17). The Old Testament provides the framework for understanding the New Testament.
- Restoration and Revelation: The Holy Spirit is unveiling truth in this age to bring restoration and unity. Believers must return to understanding God through His original covenant people.
- The First-Century Model: Early believers continued observing feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles—while walking in the revelation of Christ.
- Blending of Jew and Gentile: The Spirit is merging both groups into one new man (Ephesians 2:14-16). This union represents the bride being made ready for Christ.
- Culmination of the Ages: God is perfecting His people by restoring what was lost. A new era is dawning, not by invention but by revelation of ancient truth.

Takeaway
The restoration of God’s divine plan involves rediscovering the Jewish roots of our faith and allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal the fullness of His Word. This is not a return to the law, but a return to the life that flows from the root — the faith of our fathers. As Jew and Gentile believers come together in understanding and unity, the body of Christ is being made ready for the culmination of the ages — the unveiling of God’s perfect plan in His people.
