Who We Are and What We Believe-Teach and Promote

Welcome to The Messianic Torah Observer, a web-based ministry of QFC. Our mission is to inspire and guide you towards Yeshua-focused Torah Living, a path that promises spiritual fulfillment and a deeper connection with the Creator.

What does Yeshua-Focused Torah Living mean? It is rooted in the profound teachings of our Master, who declared:

“Do not think that I have come to loosen Torah or the Prophets. I have not come to loosen but to fulfill. For truly I say to you that until heaven and earth pass away, not one Yodh or one stroke will pass from Torah until everything happens. All who loosen, therefore, from one of these small commandments and teach thus to the sons of man, will be called little in the Kingdom of Heaven, but all who do and teach this will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds more than that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-20; AENT)

Over the years, denominationalists have misinterpreted this key to the Kingdom, promoting an anti-Jewish and anti-Torah agenda. This has led many faithful individuals to adopt a lawless lifestyle and belief system. Our Catholic counterparts have similarly strayed from the Creator’s prescribed Way of life. On judgment day, Yeshua will say to such individuals:

“I will profess to them that from everlasting, I have NOT known you. Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity” (Matthew 7:23; AENT).

I don’t know about you, beloved, but I certainly want to make it into the Kingdom. I want to hear our Master say:

“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful…” (Matthew 25:21).

If you share this desire, you must ask yourself: How do we make it into the Kingdom? What must we do today to be called good and faithful servants?

Yeshua-Focused Torah Living holds the key to our entry into the Kingdom of God and to hearing our Messiah declare us as good and faithful servants. This ministry is dedicated to living that exceedingly righteous life that leads us into the Kingdom.

We believe the Hebrew-Messianic-Netzari-Faith to be superior to any Abrahamic Faith in existence today, as it provides truth-seekers with the keys to the Kingdom5. If you’ve been searching for the true path to the Kingdom that Yeshua and His disciples preached and taught, turn your life over to Yehovah today. Believe that Yeshua died for your sins, confess your sins to Yehovah, and ask for His forgiveness. This is a personal journey between you and your Father, with Yeshua interceding on your behalf.

You will need to be water immersed (baptized) soon, but in the meantime, become a disciple of Yeshua Messiah to learn to walk in Yah’s holy and righteous ways. Connect with a local Messianic Congregation that Yehovah directs you to.

Beloved, today is the day of salvation8. Remember, we are always here to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us through the various mediums posted on this site.

 

How to Get the Most out of TMTO

Welcome to The Messianic Torah Observer! While our ministry cannot fully replace the set-apart convocation or fellowship that the writer of Hebrews admonished his readers not to forsake (Hebrews 10:25), we offer a valuable resource for any covenant-keeping Kingdom-seekers. Our content is designed to equip any would-be Netzer with a circumcised heart and spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear. So, grab your favorite cup of coffee or tea, maybe a crumpet or two, and settle in for some engaging content that will enhance your walk in Yeshua Messiah. We post new content at least once a week.

First and foremost, we encourage every visitor and subscriber to listen to The Messianic Torah Observer podcast and read our blog posts. We cover a wide range of topics, issues, and subjects relevant to our Faith-walk. If you have a specific topic or issue you wish to read or hear about, make full use of the Podcast and Blog “Index Page.”

Furthermore, if you are committed to walking in a Yeshua-Focused Torah life, make good use of the Observational Hebrew Calendar (updated monthly) that we provide on this platform. It will keep you up to date on the days that our Heavenly Father has set aside for those who are called by His Name to meet with and worship Him.

We encourage all visitors and subscribers to reach out to us if they have any questions related to the posted content via our primary email addresses: perceptionwp@gmail.com and notasyouperceive@gmail.com.

Parashat Toldot Overview

In this week’s reading, Yitschaq/Isaac prays for his beloved barren wife Rebekah (aka Rivkah), and she ultimately conceives twins who struggle in her womb. Yehovah tells her, “the elder shall serve the younger” (25:23). Esau (aka Esav), the hunter, sells his birthright to his twin Ya’achov/Jacob for a bowl of lentil stew, which has the effect of despising it (25:34). During a famine Yitschaq/Isaac sojourns in Gerar, receives the Avrahamic promise directly from Yehovah (26:3–5), and re-digs his father Avraham’s wells that the Philistines had destroyed, naming the last one Rehoboth: “… And he called the name of it Rehovoth; and he said, For now Yehovah has made room for us and we shall be fruitful in the Land” (26:22; RSTNE). In old age, Yitschaq/Isaac intends to bless Esau, but Rebekah/Rivkah and Ya’achov/Jacob secure the blessing for Ya’achov/Jacob; Esau weeps bitterly and plots revenge, and Ya’achov/Jacob is sent to Paddan-aram, carrying “the blessing of Avraham” with him (28:4).
Haftarah (Malachi 1:1–2:7): God affirms His love for Ya’achov/Jacob over Edom/Esau, then rebukes priests who offer blemished sacrifices, and declares that His name “shall be great among the heathen” (1:11). The ideal priest has “the Torah of truth” in his mouth (2:6).
Brit Chadashah (Romans 9:1–13): Shaul’s/Paul’s anguish for his kinsmen and his teaching that the promise rests on Yehovah’s call, is illustrated by Ya’achov/Jacob and Esau/Esav.
