The Messianic Hebrews accept The Holy Bible as their principal creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the congregation's understanding and declaration of the teaching of The Holy Scripture. Amendment of these statements may be foreseen at a General Meeting session when the congregation is led by the Holy Spirit to a fuller understanding of Biblical truth or finds better language in which to express the teachings of The Holy Words of Yahuah. Messianic Hebrews, accept The Messiah and the so called New Testament in such a way that we do not cease to observe the Law given in the Torah
Faith means placing complete trust in Yahuah, and accepting his offer of salvation. Such trusting faith is fundamental to The Messianic Hebrews beliefs and way of life. A living relationship with Yahuah is essential to faith and fellowship other Messianic Hebrews.
Messianic Hebrews base their faith in Yahuah as revealed through Yahusha Hamashiach and as written through out the Bible. The Messianic Hebrews accept as fact that Yahuah created everything which was created in the beginning.
The Holy Bible is a collection of many books written down over a long spanned of time. The first five books are called the Torah and are from what we compare all the rest to learn of the will of Yahuah. Some parts are the very words of Yahuah and His Son Yahusha, while the writings, and the Prophets, are inspired words of Yahuah through the Holy Spirit. The Bible explains the nature of Yahuah and the way Yahuah's followers will live and behave as a result of their faith in Him.
The very essence of The Messianic Hebrews message is the will of Yahuah. Yahuah's will that He has called each and everyone to be one of His children in the here and now as well as in the world to come. Our salvation comes through Yahusha Hamashiach's resurrection from the grave and our belief that He is who He says He is and that He is able to do those things He says He can and will do. Human beings may come to love, trust, and fear Yahuah, and accept Yahusha's gift of eternal life for all those who follow and obey him.
Creation:
Creator of the Universe, Yahuah formed our world in seven days, and created the first man and woman. At the close of his creative work, Yahuah gave the Sabbath as a day of celebration and worship.
The Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, sunset Friday until sunset Saturday is given as a reminder and an eternal covenant between Yahuah and His True Children. The seventh day is the one day of each week on which Yahuah commanded us to Keep Holy and requires us to worship Him on that day. Yahusha observed the seventh day Sabbath while on earth, and The Messianic Hebrews follow his example in keeping the fourth of the Twelve Commandments given in Exodus 20.
The Second Coming:
The Messianic Hebrews look forward to the soon return of Yahusha Hamashiach as prophesied and as He Himself promised, but do not set any date for this glorious event when he comes to take home all who accept him as The Messiah and their savior. We will add here that we believe that this event will take place on a High Sabbath called "The Feast of Trumpets." This does not mean we know the day or the hour for we do not. There has been many Feast of Trumpets and may be many more. We simply don't know any more than anyone else. Now I will expand on how we come to this conclusion. First lets look at how the "Rapture" will take place. For Yahusha himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Yahuah, and the dead in The Messiah shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet Yahusha in the air: and so shall we ever be with Yahusha. Now when will this take place the Bible says, "For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." This points to morning. In what order will this take place? "The dead in The Messiah shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds." This could very well take place on one day or it could take place on two days. Now lets us look at the way Yahuah does things through the Holy Bible. Every thing He does He does in an order. This we will let you verify yourself if you wish. Here we will keep to a time from the Crucifixion, we will start with the Crucifixion. This took place at Passover the first of the Yahuah Commanded High Sabbaths. Yahusha was laid in a borrowed tomb, He rose at sunset, after three days and nights in the belly of the earth, on the following weekly sabbath. He reveled Himself to His followers at the end of the feast of unleavened bread. On The next Yahuah commanded High Sabbath, Shavuot, also known as the feast of Pentecost, He ascended to the right hand of His Father. Now that is where He is today. The next Yahuah commanded High Sabbath is the Feast of Trumpets. This is a two-day High Sabbath the only two day High Sabbath we have. Also note it is called the feast of Trumpets and Yahusha will return with? "With the trump of Yahuah." I would also like to point out here that His Children blow the Trumpets at sunrise on both the first day and second day of this High Sabbath.
Life after Death and the Future:
The Messianic Hebrews follow Yahusha in identifying those who die as sleeping. Those who have trusted and obeyed Yahuah shall be raised to life when Yahusha returns, and look forward to a wonderful future and eternal life in Yahusha's presence.
Baptism:
Those who choose to accept Yahuah's way for their lives and His offer of eternal life demonstrate their belief through baptism, being immersed in water either in a Mikvah, flowing stream, or body of water with fish in it (living water) following the example of Yahusha. The Messianic Hebrews living lives of responsibility to Yahuah and His plan for us, which include following His commands as being for our best good and to lead others unto His fold.
Community Aid:
The Messianic Hebrews Congregations provides practical assistance to those less fortunate, caring for the poor and disadvantaged in many communities, without regard for race, religion or nationality. The Messianic Hebrews have plans to open and operates youth camps, community service projects, family life counseling and other programs to assist those wishing to overcome drug addiction and alcohol or other addictive substance dependence. Also we plan to help those who need an education to get a diploma and or to learn a trade.
Marriage and the Family:
Marriage was divinely established in Eden and affirmed by Yahusha to be a lifelong union between man and woman in loving companionship. For the Hebrew a marriage commitment is to Yahusha as well as to the spouse, and should be entered into only between partners who share a common faith. Mutual love, honor, respect, and responsibility are the fabric of this relationship, which is to reflect the love, sanctity, closeness, and permanence of the relationship between Yahusha and His Followers. Regarding divorce, Yahusha taught that a man who divorces his wife, except for fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. Although some family relationships may fall short of the ideal, marriage partners who fully commit themselves to each other in Yahusha may achieve loving unity through the guidance of the Spirit and the nurture of the Congregation. Yahuah blesses the family and intends that its members shall assist each other toward complete maturity. Parents are to bring up their children to love, fear, and obey the Yahuah and Yahusha. As Yahusha did for us by His words and actions so are we to teach our children by our example and our words. We are to teach them that, Yahuah and Yahusha, are loving disciplinarian, ever tender and caring, who wants them to become members of His children, the family of Yahuah. Increasing family closeness is one of the earmarks of the final gospel message. What constitutes a family? The smallest unit is one person living on their own supporting themselves as best as they can. Another would be one person with the responsibility of one or more children. Another would be a Husband and one or more wives with or with out children.
