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.

Thank you, Savior Jesus, for Moishe Rosen and for all that You in Matchless Sovereignty chose to accomplish through him! What a blessing to us all, Father! May You, Holy Comforter, be with his family, friends, and ministry partners now and forevermore: may we be worthy of Your High Calling and Glory even as Moishe Rosen demonstrated, amen.

He will answer to HaShem as to why he committed the most gravely of sins leading so many Jews away from him.

RIP
