I was listening to a man talk about reasons for the blinding of the American Christians eyes to the dangers that could lie ahead of us. After I brought my self-righteousness under control I realized that he was right. We need to really look at the gospel not through “Western Culture” eyes but through the eyes of the Hebrew people to whom the majority was aimed at teaching. Once we gain a Jewish perspective of the scriptures then we can see more revelation in the scriptures. Example… Recently a pastor spoke to a Jewish High Priest about what the pentecostals call speaking in tongues and the High Priest called it speaking God’s language. How enlightening!!! Another… Many of the things in Revelation can be understood when we see the bible through the eyes of the original target audience. I challenge you today to study the Word of God and try to understand it through Jewish Eyes instead of Western Eyes. It will illuminate the Word in amazing ways for you. Once we understand our Jewish Heritage, then we can understand the vastness of God’s grace and mercy. God loves us and seeks to prosper, heal and protect us, we have to understand the amazingness of who “Ya” is.
