My heart is sad and glad at the same time. He will finally see his savior. Meanwhile, what an amazing journey and work Rosen did!

May he rest in peace.

I loved Moishe.

The founder of Jews for Jesus died Wednesday, leaving behind a pre-written message to members of the ministry.

In the letter posted on the Jews for Jesus website after his death, Moishe Rosen encouraged members of Jews for Jesus to stay with the ministry, especially as they “stand on the edge of a breakthrough in Jewish evangelism.”

He was helping fulfill what the Apostle Paul said about the Jews, just before the Messiah returns ... :-)

Paul sought to release Christians from Judaism, while this “rabbi” would take it back to the religion of James.

In his final remarks, Rosen expressed how concerned he was by the support some believers were giving to the efforts of rabbis “who, frankly, not only don't know Christ, but don't want to know Him.”

It was statements like this that continue to alienate the people he wanted to reach. Such statements speak either of his own ignorance, or his self-deception. The truth is, Orthodox Judiasm is more focused on the coming of Messiah that the majority of Christian denominations. Pickup a copy of the "Messiah Texts" by Raphael Patai if you want to be amazed at how in touch "the rabbis" were and are with a biblical understanding of Messiah. Pick up an Orthodox Siddur and read the hundreds of messianic prayers.

While one might agree with Rosen's purpose, his "in your face" message of "abandon Judaism and convert" does not match the message of the first Apostles, specifically Yaakov [James], and particularly spelled out in his epistle and in the account of his words in Acts 21.

RIP.

God bless him!

It should be a blessing God took him before he could see what NObama is going to do to Israel in the upcoming years.
