(the Christian version “Lehen Hokenu Tein<br />
Lanu Hayom – “Give Us This Day Our<br />
Daily Bread”). In both Testaments it has an<br />
ambiguous meaning of temporal and spiritual<br />
daily food.<br />
In John 6 Yeshua, who is the Word of<br />
God made flesh (John 1:14), that is logos<br />
become sarx in Greek or Dvar/ Mamra become<br />
Basar in Hebrew/ Aramaic; identifies<br />
Himself as the meaning of the Mannah that<br />
came down from heaven. It is a symbol of<br />
Him as the Word made flesh that must be<br />
eaten (believed). I cannot explain this now<br />
as it would take too long but it must not<br />
be confused with the cannibalistic misinterpretation<br />
of the Roman Catholic Eucharist.<br />
<strong>The</strong> omer is a unit of measurement of<br />
the Manna. So to answer your question we<br />
must look to where in Torah the Omer rots.<br />
That is in Exodus 16, read in light of John 6.<br />
In Exod. 16 when the omer (manna) is<br />
not eaten, it rots and is infected by worms<br />
and it stinks. Once the Messiah, ‘the Bread<br />
from Heaven’ in John 6, was rejected and<br />
not eaten, the Word of God was left by God<br />
to rot and be eaten by worms and turn to<br />
something stinking; the Talmud devoured<br />
the Torah and the false religion of the rabbis<br />
came instead. <strong>The</strong> sacrificial worship of<br />
God’s people were to be a pleasing aroma<br />
to Ha Shem according to Torah (Genesis<br />
8:21, Exodus 29:18, Numbers 29:2). Once<br />
the Messiah was rejected and the temple<br />
was to be destroyed there would be no<br />
more sacrifices of any kind. Mitzvot were<br />
substituted by Rabbi Yochannan Ben Zakai<br />
at the Council of Yavne, etc. Instead<br />
of a soothing aroma, the false, unscriptural<br />
talmudic Judaism of the rabbis became a<br />
stinking offense to the anthropomorphic<br />
nostrils of God.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is of course much more to these<br />
matters than time permits me to explain,<br />
but you have the concise version in reply<br />
to your question. I hope it assists your studies<br />
in Yeshua’s wonderful service. As you<br />
feel strongly about the importance of these<br />
matters (and we do not disagree) we will<br />
post your question and the reply on our<br />
website.<br />

Jacob Prasch<br />
QUESTION:<br />
Dear Elon,<br />
With respect, you are using diversionary<br />
tactics.<br />
My email was not about whether or not<br />
Richard Harvey should be speaking at<br />
Christ at the Checkpoint.<br />
It was about whether or not the language<br />
used by Jacob Prasch is appropriate for any<br />
believer to use about anyone, and particularly<br />
about another believer. I regard it as<br />
wrong under any circumstances, including<br />
the present situation.<br />
In addition, as I stated, Jacob has a long<br />
history of using unacceptable language. I<br />
can easily find numerous examples, some<br />
even worse than this one. <strong>The</strong> particular instance<br />
is irrelevant.<br />
I am sure that tensions are running high<br />
in Israel over this conference, and I fully<br />
understand that. <strong>The</strong>re is concern in the<br />
UK as well. I hope I made my views on<br />
it clear. But please try to take a detatched<br />
attitude and consider whether using harsh<br />
and insulting language is compatible with<br />
the teaching of the Bible. I would suggest<br />
that it is not, and I would also suggest that<br />
virtually every theologian and believer who<br />
has ever lived would share this view.<br />
Kind regards,<br />
David Miller<br />
REPLY:<br />
Dear Brother David,<br />
Thank you for your e-mail. I understand<br />
the motivation behind it. ButI believe that<br />
you are misunderstanding the issue. If the<br />
CATC conference were a forum genuinely<br />
discussing theological issues in mutual respect<br />
regard to the issues involved that is<br />
one thing. But this event is far from that, by<br />
all accounts it is really a thinly disguised<br />
hate fest run by a sick band of antisemites<br />
who have long ago passed the point of being<br />
willing to listen. <strong>The</strong>se people actually<br />
want to see us exterminated, our presence<br />
here in Israel eliminated, and our names<br />
blotted out from under heaven. If Richard<br />
wants to contact the ministers from the US<br />
and other places who are attending but have<br />
not yet made their mind up he could have<br />
done so by publishing an open letter and<br />
registered his protest. Or turn up outside<br />
the event with a bull horn and placards and<br />
protest (he could then taste the religious<br />
freedom that exists under Palestinian rule).<br />
But it is my feeling and that of others too,<br />
that by attending as an invited speaker what<br />
is the theological equivalent of a 1930’s<br />
Nuremburg rally, that he is actually providing<br />
the thin blanket of legitimacy that<br />
the organisers require, to this vile and villainous<br />
event by being the token Jew, and<br />
by doing so, he is giving those agencies in<br />
Israel and Jewish communities outside the<br />
Land who hate believers in Y’shua, a barge<br />
load of ammunition to support their claim<br />
that we are traitors and betrayers of Israel,<br />
and this quite apart from the fuel that is being<br />
given to those who hate us in the denominations<br />
of Western Christendom.<br />
I think that you also fail to understand<br />
the deep level of disgust and sense of betrayal<br />
that Richards actions have engendered<br />
in the Messianic Community. It’s all<br />
very well for him to sit in home in England,<br />
as yet the Palestinians have not questioned<br />
the UK’s right to exist.<br />
I feel that even if Richard’s attendance<br />
is arising from right motives, that it is ill<br />
informed, unwise and irresponsible and<br />
causes problems for which he will not directly<br />
have to answer, because he does not<br />
live here and will not have to suffer the fall<br />
out. It is not his business that will go under<br />
from boycotts and international pressure,<br />
not his job that will be lost, not his kids that<br />
will be blown up, by some terrorist thug<br />
whom the organizers of this conference effectively<br />
sanction, support and endorse. He<br />
really has gone too far and brings trouble<br />
on us all. If Richard is excoriated and ostracized<br />
by the Messianic Community, he has<br />
only himself to blame.<br />

LETTER: Dear Brother Jacob Prasch..<br />
I Am 66 Years old I Am A Christian and<br />
Love <strong>The</strong> Lord Jesus Christ. Here I will<br />
give you my testimony of how my Precious<br />
Lord touched me after my heart attack 10<br />
years ago and I had to get Open Heart Surgery<br />
Done. I was so sick, but my precious<br />
Lord brought me through it, and again 3<br />
years ago I had a stroke from bleeding on<br />
my brain. At first I did not know my date of<br />
birth, my phone number or street address<br />
or anything for well over a week. I did not<br />
know anything they felt I had to get realabilation<br />
done to help me get my memory<br />
back, and I could be in hospital for quite a<br />
few months. But I Cried Out to JESUS.<br />
He heard my prayers and a few days later<br />
my memory was all back. But even now I<br />
am shut in most of the time with other Disabilies.<br />
I Thank God For <strong>The</strong> Gift of Life.<br />
<strong>The</strong> doctor said I could have died after my<br />
stroke and the bleeding in my brain, but<br />
the great physician came to my bedside he<br />
touched me and removed that blood on my<br />
brain and I give him all the Glory. Honour.<br />
And Praise. I Covet Your Prayers I’m Having<br />
A Hard Time With My Health I struggle<br />
with chronic pain and mobility problems,<br />
and I live on very low income I covet your<br />
prayers. I’m very needy would you please<br />
donate to me some of your lovely messages<br />
on dvd please I sure would appreciate it.<br />
Thank you from the bottom of my heart I<br />
Love You In Jesus.<br />
I am shut in most of the time due to my<br />
legs can’t go very far.<br />

All.<br />
