Dear
reader visitor of this site.
I am
happy to use the internet to tell you more about Gods grace and the
dispensation of the Grace of God.
I born 52
years ago in Israel. I grew up as a Jew and never believed that one
day I will be so much busy with reading and teaching of the so call
new testament or the belief in Jesus Christ. Till the age of 21 I
did not hear much about that also Jew need to be save. Well I was
not religious so I did not know much about God at all. We learn at
school much about the old testament but to say that I believed at
that time I cannot say.
I born to
an east Europeans parents which mean that they suffer in the second
world war and lost families. So speaking about Christ will have much
associations with the Jewish prosecution in the past.
Years
went on and I think in the begin of the seventies I started to think
more about life. After serving 3 years at the army at age the of 22
I started my life as a Young man. I traveled to the Southern part of
Israel looking to have a good time there. For some reason I took
with me copy of the old testament.

During my
work there I met often a Dutch men an evangelist his name was John
Pex and David Lazaros from the USA. He gave me something to read about the Christ in the 2
covenants and invited me few time to visit his tent where he used to
teach people about the Bible. It took me few weeks and then I
started to join the studies in a tent near the beach. So no church
building but only open bible.
I
remember that I understood very fast the main point, that Jesus
Christ is the messiah. He explained me also very clear about the way
of salvation. That also a Jew can get the gift of eternal life
through our Lord Jesus Christ. I remember that one day while every
one was praying I prayed too and thank the Lord for what he did for
me on the cross. So at the age of 22 I knew that I was saved by the
blood of Jesus Christ.
So now I
had to started my life as a believer. First I went back to my home
town to tell my parents about the good news which was for them not a
good new at all. It is not so often that a Jew say I believe in
Christ. Also for me thing where not so easy in the beginning. I was
happy and believed the gospel but wanted to know more or did not
really know in which direction to go. I visited some church near my
parents home but it was not really what I was looking for.
So I had
the Bible in my hand but I needed more guiding, someone who will
help me to understand more about God’s word. While staying in Eilat
I met different people and some of them from the Netherland. So I
decided to travel to Europe to Holland and England. It was good
time meeting different believers. I enjoyed the hospitality of the
family of one of the evangelists who told me about this wonderful
gospel. His name was Johan Schep. So his parents invited me to stay
with them.
Believing
in Christ is one thing and understanding the Bible and Gods plan and
purpose is something else. While visiting believers in the U.K. they
started to tell me something about the “word rightly divided” about
Gods plan for the Church “the body f Christ” they told me that at
this time of grace There is no difference between Jew or gentile. In
the beginning it was for me hard to accept that now as a Jew I am
not especial for God but just a sinner like every one.
On the
other side while learning about rightly dividing the word of truth
things become more clear. I started to understand that the Lord
Jesus Christ gave Paul a different gospel and the bible became an
open book for me.
I was
very happy with those new truth that I learned. I found also how
most believers are against it and are not open to search the
scriptures. I went back to Israel and stayed for some month with
the brothers and sisters who show me first the way of salvation but
after a while I decided to move further. I was hungry for the word
and the depth in the word of Gods.
Visiting
again the brother and sister in the UK who lead me to the truth of
the word rightly divided I pray the Lord and told Him that I believe
that this is the true and no matter what are the costs I am planning
to stand for it. I was introduced at that time to the writing of
C.R. Stam from the Berean Bible Society. So i started to study all
about the revelation of the mystery.
I thank
the Lord that while going back from the UK to the Netherlands I was
able to stay there few month and devote the time for studying the
Word. I spent the time reading and examine each scripture in the so
call 4 gospels and comparing it with what I read in the letters of
Paul.
So as my
first love was the day that I accepted Christ as my savior my second
love was the day that I came to understand all about the the
dispensation of the Grace of God that the Lord Jesus Christ gave to
the apostle Paul.
