Palestinian Christians Teach Biblical Hebrew and Hebraic Worldview

Adopting a Hebraic Worldview

• 💡 Christy and Daniel Anastas, Palestinian Christians from Bethlehem, are teaching Biblical Hebrew and a Hebraic worldview.
• ⚠️ This perspective came at a significant personal cost, including growing up in a war zone and experiencing loss.
• ✨ Adopting this worldview was challenging, especially after Christy's faith journey revealed Jesus's Jewish heritage, requiring reconciliation of perceived enemies with Jesus's roots.

Bridging Divides Through Forgiveness

• 🤝 Christy's journey led to forgiving those who harmed her family, including forgiving Israelis for occupying their home and killing loved ones.
• 🗣️ This process opened doors for her to become a bridge-builder, speaking in synagogues about the value of a Hebraic perspective for Palestinians and Jews.

Illuminating Scripture with Hebraic Roots

• 📺 Daniel illustrates how understanding Hebraic roots transformed his understanding of the Bible, comparing it to switching from black and white to color TV.
• 📖 An example is Moses being shown God's back, which from a Hebraic perspective signifies seeing the future, a concept contrasting with the Greek view of the future being in front.
• 💬 Learning basic Hebrew words, like "shalom," helps unravel deeper meanings and God's intentions in scripture, aiding in apologetics.

Reactions and Theological Challenges

• 💬 A Messianic Jew in their course shared how he was warned against Palestinians but found himself learning from them, a deeply moving experience.
• ⚠️ The Anastas' position is theologically and politically complex, as they do not align with Palestinian liberation theology that separates biblical prophecies from the land or Israel's presence.
• 🌍 They advocate for promoting both Western and Semitic perspectives, emphasizing the beauty and importance of the original Semitic-based faith.

A Call to Reconnect with Roots

• 📜 Daniel emphasizes a call for Western Christianity to embrace the original Semitic-based faith, connecting with global events and biblical times and seasons.
• ⏳ He references Daniel 7:25, suggesting the adversary will try to change times, and stresses the need to return to Hebraic rhythms and the Bible's foundational storyline.
• 🔮 Understanding the past in the Bible is crucial for perceiving the future, especially concerning potential manipulation of Hebraic times as the end times approach.

Prayer and Support

• 🙏 Christy and Daniel request prayers for the protection of Christians, including Messianic Jews and Palestinians, in the region.
• 🌟 They also pray for more people in the region to know Jesus, facilitating revival, and for their personal protection, provision, and good health.
• ❤️ They hope more people will embrace the historical and biblical aspects of faith and the heart of the Father.
