(Dear Friends)
Join us on September 5 for our 98th Erev Shabbat teaching and joyous celebration of our God and King.
We are excited to have our dear friend Dr. John Garr as our speaker. Dr. Garr is founder and president of Restoration Foundation, a publishing, teaching and networking ministry awakening Christians to the Hebraic roots of our faith.
In keeping with our theme of Bible prophecy and the end times, Dr. Garr will be speaking on the subject of: “Prophetic Restoration in the New Millennium.”
The Restoration of all Things
To restore something or someone is to bring that something or someone back to a former or original condition. Our God is a God of restoration. He is actively at work in His creation to bring all of His creation back to its original condition described in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 1-2 and ultimately fulfilled in Revelation 20-22.
Restoration is the heart of God’s message of love and reconciliation in the Bible. In the Newer Testament, Peter refers to this divine purpose.
“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord., and that He may send Jesus Christ [Messiah], who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:19-21).
What is Keeping Jesus from Returning?
We notice from this Scripture that Peter says heaven must receive or retain Jesus until the times of restoration of all things. This seems to mean that Jesus will not return until God has restored the heart and spirit of His former or original revelations and teachings spoken to us by His prophets of old.
By prophets of old, I mean those speaking God’s word in the Hebrew Bible. In my view, this statement clearly indicates that Jesus will not return until His people, Jew and Gentile, return to their biblical heritage.
For Jews, this means a return to their covenant God, covenant Land and covenant faith (biblical Judaism) as opposed to Rabbinic Judaism. For non-Jewish Christian believers it means a return to our biblical Hebraic roots.
This glorious restoration is based on a rediscovering of the biblical Feasts of the Lord. God restored Passover in the Protestant Reformation. He restored Pentecost at Azusa Street. He is now restoring Tabernacles, Israel and our roots in preparation for heaven to release Jesus (Yeshua) to return to earth.
Join us this Erev Shabbat as Dr. Garr shares this exciting teaching.
