Messengers Messianic Jewish - Mottel Baleston
United States
Приєднався 28 січ 2014
The Messengers Messianic Fellowship has a simple message: Our Jewish Bible promises a Messiah and has prophecies of whom that Messiah would be and what He would accomplish. Those prophecies point to Yeshua, a Jewish man who is a descendant of King David. In the English speaking world, Yeshua is known by the name Jesus. He was born into a Jewish family in Israel, went to synagogue, prayed in Hebrew, celebrated Jewish Holy Days, and we believe He is our Messiah. He welcomes all people of every ethnic heritage into the family of God when they come by Faith alone in the atonement He made. For Christians, learning about the Jewish roots of your faith enriches your understanding of the Bible.
- Our primary Bible teacher is Mottel Baleston, a Jewish believer in Messiah who was born in New York City. For over 25 years he led Messianic Jewish Congregations in New Jersey, and now focuses on outreach. We also feature videos by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, from whom we have learned much. SHALOM !!

Yes Virginia, Christmas has Jewish Roots #3 Mottel Baleston Messianic Jewish Christian Teaching

This short series of 3 videos may have a humorous title, but is meant to introduce a Truth: that underneath the worldly celebration of Christmas the original story is that God promised to send to the Jewish people, a Jewish Messiah, born of a Jewish virgin, so that ALL THE WORLD would have opportunity to have atonement for their sin and come into the family of God through genuine, heart-felt faith in Messiah Jesus.

I am your instructor, Mottel Baleston. I was born into a typical Jewish home in Brooklyn, New York City. All four of my grandparents were born in traditional Orthodox Jewish homes in Eastern Europe at the turn-of-the-century. I came to saving faith in Messiah Jesus at the age of 21 after a spiritual search. After a short time in secular work, I graduated from evangelical Bible college, and am slowly working my way through graduate school for a Masters degree in Old Testament. I have served in leadership in both evangelical churches and for over 30 years served in the capacities of Messianic Rabbi and leader of several Messianic Jewish congregations and fellowships. I am, PRESENT TENSE, both happily Jewish and happily and gratefully in the family of God through faith alone in Messiah Yeshua. It's my privilege to teach alongside author & Bible scholar Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum each summer at the Ariel Ministries Messianic Discipleship Summer Intensive School.

The series is 3 videos of about 20 minutes. Each one will have a teaching PowerPoint. Feel free to post comments or questions and I will be able to answer those in the comments, however it will usually take three or four weeks until I'm able to respond. All comments are held for approval as this channel has sadly been the target of both racist anti-Semites who consider themselves to be Christians, as well as individuals attempting to promote false teaching. Sincere questions are welcome!

Great Teaching! Thank you, Rabbi.
And the Greek Septuagint predates Christ by hundreds of years and the Jews who translated that use the word parthenos which is virgin in greek
Isaiah 48:16 all three of the trinity are there, God says that God and his spirit sent him
Gotta say satan was already defeated, his heel was bruised and pierced by the snake on the cross, and he pierced the head of Satan when the cross was planted into the hill known as Golgotha, the place of the skull
The blow came during first coming I believe. He had to take the snake bite to the heel (nailed feet) to pierce the snakes head which is where the cross was planted into the ground (Golgotha place of the skull)
Behold : ISAIAH 44 : 1 - 28 . ✍️👏🌟👌🗣️ 🙏❤
Thank you for these teachings Mottel!!
Thanks much, I really want to see this info go out !! Shalom, Mottel
Thank you Mottel for this series... this understanding is a great blessing.
You are very welcome, Shalom, Mottel
Thank you so much for your teachings. The Jewish perspective provides an expanded background that completes the full meaning, especially in parts that often remain unexplained and less understood due to its cultural context. Shalom in Yeshua.
Sir, you are a captivating narrator ⭐️🙏🏼⭐️
Thank you kindly, but the main thing is to have good material to teach !! Shalom, Mottel
Вот подлинно израильтянин а теперь христианин в котором нет лукавства. Чудо как Его народ познает Истину. Слава Иешуа .
ok people here i go again. it’s hard for me not to reply to teaching as this. i’m just an old lady,a gentile living in Washington State. BUT i have found THIS Messiah he is teaching you abt. please please if you are still a “christian” living under replacement theology please listen and pray for an awakening. i found my Hebrew Roots and it has Rocked My World. why would the Creator of the world have another plan now that evolves into 1,000’s of denominations. HE DID NOT. We are grafted into Israel by the blood of THEIR Messiah. Gods plan never changed!!!!.
Thank you so much for this! Keep it going! I would love to hear the Jewish perspective of the gospels. Christianity has lost its way.💖
Thanks so much for your comment, we're happy to see so many Jesus believers become more aware of the Jewish origins of our faith! Shalom, Mottel
Thank you for this amazing teaching. ❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the videos! It’s beautiful to hear Gods Word from a Jewish perspective. It’s in-depth and more personal. I learnt new things that the western interpretation doesn’t teach so thank you for the videos. I pray the Lord blesses your channel and that it reaches out to more people. God Bless You and Merry Christmas brother in Christ.
Personally I don't like the commercialization of Hanukkah. That is celebrating the way the pagans do which is mixture, which Abba hates. I want to do Yah's things Yah's ways and set a right example.
Awesome. Thanks for the Bible study, very insightful. It’s amazing to get the perspective of Gods word from a Jewish brother. I’ve subscribed and can’t wait for more content. Bless you.
Thanks so much for your comment, we're happy to see so many Jesus believers become more aware of the Jewish origins of our faith! Shalom, Mottel
Total BS
Total Blessed Scripture?? - Absolutely it is !! Shalom, Mottel
no Virginia christmas has its root solely in paganism if you say anything other than this you are lying
If you had listened carefully to the video you would not have posted that comment. Your objection comes from what you thought I was going to say, instead of what I actually said. The video was about the Biblical Jewish prophecies predicting the birth of Messiah our Jewish Savior !!! That's all !! It was not what you imagined.
well, Virginia, Christmas actually has more pagan roots. ie the virgin birth, a pagan concept and according to matthew and luke the idea that jesus had no biological human father thus disqualifying him from being the messiah. this message is brought to you by Baptists for Buddha
Hello there Harold Hughes, - It's a good thing that so many of us who are evangelical Bible believers are able to study the Hebrew Scriptures in their original language, as I do. The gaping flaw in your argument is that in reality, the idea of a virgin birth of the Messiah is derived from a prophecy in the Jewish Bible, specifically in Isaiah 7:14, where a comprehensive study of the text shows that the word used there for the young woman was translated by 70 rabbis in the Septuagint translation, around 220 BCE, with the Greek word Parthanos, which is ironclad soldily meaning a virgin. That Prophecy in the Jewish Bible was written around 650 BCE, and if pagans want to do a copycat of that there's nothing to stop them. - However let's not try to dismiss Jewish prophecy by noting that it might be replicated in pagan works. My commitment to the truth of the Virgin conception of Messiah Yeshua is based on Jewish prophecy alone found in the Jewish Bible. I would simply encourage you to look beyond sources which start out with an 'a priori' agenda to dismiss doctrines which they feel are musty, and simply look at the evidence for fulfilled prophecy. That's what led me to faith in my own Jewish Messiah after a background growing up in a very liberal home in New York City. I passionately value my Jewish heritage, and that Jewish heritage finds its full flower in Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. Be well, Mottel Baleston
Glory to Jesus Christ!!
Thank You! Glory to Jesus Christ!!!
Christmas has pagan origins in it. It doesn’t matter if you put God in it. The Torah teaches us that we are not to worship God as the heathens do. Yeshua was born on Sukkot. I’m not here to condemn but seek the truth out. We are suppose to leave Babylon not have have on foot in and another foot out. God bless❤
Hello believing friend, You wrote: "The Torah teaches us that we are not to worship God as the heathens do." Absolutely, we don't want to do that. Friend, please take 5 minutes to do a word study of the origin of the word "God". I'll wait. - Find it? Yes, it is derived from a pagan Germanic diety, "Gott". Now, when you use it you do not have that pagan deity in mind, I know you don't Guess what? Neither do sincere Bible Believers in Jesus who want to celebrate His birth. So I don't take you to task for using 'God', and neither should you take them to task for celebrating His birth. Yes, it was most likely on Sukkot, I've long taught that, a holiday which I grew up celebrating in my Jewish community in New York. Romans 14 gives us freedom in these areas. I wish Galatians 5:1 freedom to you and yours. be well, Mottel Baleston
The Santa mythology comes from the catholic tradition of celebrating the sun god thank you for making this video to help other’s learn the difference

and mikveh as per Jochanan the Baptizer....It cannot get more jewish than that
isn't mikvah the name of the pool of water
8:49 💯, and also it's only honest and fair towards the Jewish people. I've heard some say that both Christians and Muslims have kind of borrowed their own Jewish scriptures without due acknowledgement. And perhaps it might make Christianity more attractive to them, too. Thank you for another great video.
❤ Thank you Mottel for this wonderful teaching.
Oh no, standby achi there is a sect of people out there with stones in hand ready to throw them about to those who claim such "heresy" .......DUCK! Shalom and be well, Mottel
?? Really?? What a sad thing to hear that even the Jews who were given the oracles of God instead chose to follow pagan Rome... Sorry to hear another twisted compromise/lie about this UGLY EVIL day that truly only promotes a lie...
awesome msg. !!
The mercy of God can never be exhausted, we can never tell it enough, so I'm going to keep on! Shalom, Mottel
Baleston: Adonai Heloim bless you and your family, B'shem Yeshua Hamashia, Happy christmas
Thank you so much, God's blessings on you & your family!! Mottel
but it’s all pagan😳😳😳😳
Great video, many thanks! Someone on UA-cam recently told me that I shouldn't say Yeshua because the Jewish spoke Aramaic at that time, not Hebrew, and he gave the name in Aramaic (which I forgot but it was very short, like in Arabic). But it seems to me that only Yeshua means God's salvation/God saves? And it's so much more meaningful. Also my ESV B ible notes has a note "Or Aramaic" whenever the Gospels mention Hebrew (as on Pilate's sign on the cross, for instance). So it's not simple. If you read this, would you comment? Was this person right or were names always in Hebrew irrespective of the language spoken by the Jews at that time? Re Luke it's interesting that the Anglican Bible commentator, Matthew Henry, didn't think Luke was a Gentile. It seems to be a modern thing, based on one verse, which can be interpreted differently.
That comment you heard is taking one fact, that the common Jewish people in that area predominately spoke Aramaic in casual conversation, and they did, but then left the facts behind and speculated about names. Do English speaking parents name their child Gabriel, or Michael, or Abigail ?? Yes they do, and those are ALL Hebrew names. Fact: The common Jewish folk around Jesus spoke Aramaic in casual conversation, BUT PRAYED IN HEBREW. Same pattern has held through Jewish history, learn the local Language, English, Spanish, etc, but Pray in Hebrew, and give your kids Hebrew names. Shalom Penny !! Mottel
Many thanks for taking the time to answer! Merry Christmas.
Shalom from New Zealand. Have a blessed christmas❤
God bless you for the true
Good preaching
Good teaching
I used to respect you but now see you as a Zionist … prove me wrong? Trust me you can’t with a simple one line reply
I think it’s a good thing people hear abt YESHUA every December 25 even if the roots of Christmas are pagan. But isn’t everything pagan? Sports teams? Karate? lol someone once told me so far as karate is of the devil since they use those chants what not lol but that’s what I mean: in it not of it. I don’t celebrate Christmas, I celebrate Yeshua’s arrival, his birthday. 😊
Celebrating Yeshua's arrival (=salvation, eternal life, the fulfilment of prophecy, reconciliation between God and man) is and always has been the definition of Christmas !! ...were you celebrating something else all these years ?
Just pray about what you do at Xmas because the Lord commands us not to worship Him like the pagans worship their gods. We should be sensitive to His leading so that we do not grieve Him. Shalom
