(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 />

In Jesus,<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 />

With Malice Toward None, And Love Toward<br />

All.<br />
