This is a watershed issue of the First Fruits of Zion journal. In this issue we discuss a developed understanding of Jews, Gentiles, and Israel--we explore the responsibilities, obligations and opportunities in relation to Torah and the people of God. These are hot, explosive, topics in our movement.
Through the pages of the new Messiah Journal we hope to continue to help shape the minds of the people of God, encourage the disciples of the Master, and instruct all believers in the life of Torah.
