- We believe that Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is the promised Messiah. He fulfills the prophecies spoken by the prophets and the genealogical requirements of the Messiah: a descendant of David; a perfect teacher of God’s law; bring peace (Ephe. 2); rebuild the temple ( ); be born in Jerusalem (Micah 5:2); gather the exiles of Israel; bring world peace; fight wars of God; be born during Roman Empire; be rejected by his people; die befoe AD 70; be raised.
- He qualifies as both priest and king based upon his lineage and is the Son of Man spoken of in Daniel and the Son of God. Yeshua is a priest after the order of Melchizedek ( ). He is the king of the Jews.
- Yeshua is the seed of Abraham and the seed of the woman ( Gen. 3:16; Gal Rom 4; 12). This is also an affirmation of deity. Eve declared, “I have gotten a man: the angel of the LORD” ( ).
- Salvation is by grace through faith Eph. 2:8; Rom. 10:4,5;
- The kingdom of Yeshua is present and among us already, but the fullness will be revealed Matt.
- The resurrection confirmed God’s favor upon Yeshua and the veracity of his message and claims
- The temple is rebuilt in his flesh
- The Holy Spirit has confirmed his status as Messiah and High Priest by signs and works
- The Holy Spirit bears witness to Messiah’s continuing ministry
- Gentiles have access to the throne of G-d
- The middle wall of the partition has been removed
- Women, men, Jews, and Gentiles are one in Messiah
- Messiah is the Son of God.
