(Y'SHUA) YESHUA is the Hebrew name of the MESSIAH, the SON of GOD, the SAVIOR of the world.  Translated as Jesus in the English Bible, YESHUA is the Name above every name (Philippians 2:9-11) and means "Salvation Now!"

 Jesus was Jewish. His disciples were Jewish. In the prevailing Christian view, the Bible was written by forty authors. Of these, thirty-nine were Jewish. The fortieth, Luke, was likely a convert to Judaism.  None of the earliest Christians believed that they were starting a new religion. They merely sought to spread the news that Jewish prophecy had been fulfilled by the arrival of the Jewish Messiah.  -STANDING With ISRAEL, David Brog; ISBN 978-1-59979-050-3

"In a true sense, Judaism is the Mother faith of Christianity. ... A new day is dawning in the relations between Christians and Jews.  And one of the most fruitful areas for exploration of common beliefs and hopes, religious ideals and aspirations of Judaism and Christianity, is surely that which is now often covered by the term, "the Judaeo-Christian  tradition." -Basic Christian Beliefs, Frederick C. Grant, ©1960

It is written: "This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus [Yeshua] -Ephesians 3:6

A Match Made In Heaven- Journalist and author Zev Chafets offers a Jewish perspective on the growing bond between Israel and evangelical Christians. Rabbi Eckstein says the book builds “a strong case for the alliance between Christians and Jews,” and praises it for reaffirming that “the overwhelming majority of evangelical Christians have a pure heart and no hidden agendas when it comes to support for Israel.” You’ll enjoy the author’s careful and well-written analysis of the growing relationship of cooperation and mutual respect between Jews and Christians—a bridge that Rabbi Eckstein has played a leading role in forging for the past quarter century!  www.ifcj.org

Dear Friends of CJUI (Christians & Jews United for Israel),

The following is the text of our incoming President Rev Fumio Taku's personal testimony and message he gave on "The legitimacy of two-state solutions for Israel and the Arab Palestinians". [From CJUI's August 25th meeting at Temple Emeth, Chestnut Hill, MA.]

Fumio shares (1) his early years in Japan and how he has come to love Israel as he became a Christian, (2) his life principles that guide his convictions and actions in support of Israel and Judeo-Christian values in America, and (3) reasons why he believes neither two-state solutions nor any curtailment of Jewish settlements in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria would succeed.

“But you have come to Mount Zion to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus [Yeshua] the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. ..." -Hebrews 12:22-25

“Rather than worrying who needs to be converted to get into heaven, Christians and Jews should join together to create heaven here on earth.” Shmuley Boteach, The International Jerusalem Post, April 4-10, 2008

www.cufi.org Christians United for Israel "The Bible commands us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), to speak out for Zion’s sake (Isaiah 62:1), to be watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:6) and to bless the Jewish people (Genesis 12:3). These and so many other verses of the Bible have one overriding message-- as Christians we have a Biblical obligation to defend Israel and the Jewish people in their time of need."
