Another new issue of Messiah Magazine has just rolled off our presses. Messiah Magazine provides a voice for the Israeli and international Messianic Jewish movement in the form of Messianic Jewish teaching about the land, the people, and the Scriptures of Israel.
This periodical is inspired by the promise of what is to come: the kingdom of heaven, when the Torah will go out from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Our objective is to help rejuvenate the believer’s faith, encouraging him or her to become zealous for Messiah, discipleship, and the whole Word of God.

The Flag and the Shofar
During the liberation of Jerusalem there was no flag to hang on David’s Citadel. A Jewish family from England lived nearby, and the wife gave a white sheet to the soldiers and told them they could draw a Star of David on it. This woman was none other than Messianic Jewish luminary Pauline Rose. Boaz Michael tells us the fascinating story.

Binding and Loosing
Toby Janicki takes a fresh look at Jesus' comments to his disciples giving them the authority to bind and loose. There are a few problems with the traditional Christian interpretation of spiritual warfare with Satan. It turns out, that’s not what he was talking about at all.
We Love Death More than You Love Life
Reuven Glasser gives us a vivid picture of the conflict in the Middle East. Israel’s enemies, both within and outside the country, have the same mindset about dealing with Israel, and use the media to deceive the world.
