In this study of The Hebrew Yeshua vs. the Greek Jesus, Nehemia Gordon explores the ancient Hebrew text of the Gospel of Matthew from manuscripts long hidden away in the archives of Jewish scribes. Gordon explains the life-and-death conflict Yeshua had with the Pharisees as they schemed to grab the reins of Judaism in the first century, and brings that conflict into perspective for both Jew and Christian alike.
The Hebrew Yeshua vs. the Greek Jesus
An astonishing realization has recently gripped the Christian world: "Jesus Christ" was not a blond-haired, blue-eyed Gentile. Yeshua of Nazareth was raised in an observant Jewish family in a culture where the Torah (five books of Moses) was the National Constitution.
Yeshua's teachings, which supposedly form the basis for Western Christianity, are now filtered through 2000 years of traditions born in ignorance of the land, language, and culture of the Bible. The issues over which Yeshua wrestled with the Pharisees are simply not understood by modern Christians; nor are his most important instructions followed by those who claim to be his disciples.
Former Pharisee, Nehemia Gordon, a Dead Sea Scrolls scholar and Semitic language expert, explores the ancient Hebrew text of the Gospel of Matthew from manuscripts long hidden away in the archives of Jewish scribes. Gordon's research reveals that the more "modern" Greek text of Matthew, from which the Western world's versions were translated, depicts "another Jesus" from the Yeshua portrayed in the ancient Hebrew version of Matthew. Gordon explains the life-and-death conflict Yeshua had with the Pharisees as they schemed to grab the reins of Judaism in the first century, and brings that conflict into perspective for both Jew and Christian alike.
"Yeshua's brutally honest words in the Hebrew version of Matthew are nothing short of revolutionary for the believer. This is the revelation for which I have been waiting an entire lifetime!" - Michael Rood

“Fulfill” does not mean ‘do away with’. If you think that, you do not understand English, or Hebrew or even the Covenant. Fulfilling the Covenant – which is what Yeshua did – is what gives us the right to claim its benefits.
so you are really an unbeliever in Yeshuah.
Thank You for sharing this rabbinic sector of human life for the rest of the world. Of course as a christian believer I trust on the promises given by My savior and healer and Lord. And now I focus into this special promise “Who sincerelly seeks the truth will eventually find the truth”. So I trust also this loved rabbi Nehemiah will find ultimate truth eventyally. The one who has started the work and is calling is faithfull – He will cause it to happen.
Orthodox Rabbinic Judaism seems a whole lot like Roman Catholicism (and all her myriad Protestant sects) — as each have both added to and subtracted from the Word of YHWH.
In Matthew 7:14 Yeshua said: “For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
Wow, that was TWO hours of my life I will never get back only to hear that Nehemia finally discovered that Yeshua came not to do away with the law. Unfortunately, he totally misunderstands Yeshua’s mission as Messiah was to fulfill the law, for which man (Jew, Greek and Gentile) can and will never accomplish to “BE HOLY, AS I AM HOLY.” (Leviticus 19:2; 1 Peter 1:16)
Shabbat Shalom Nehemia,
is this a new revision of your book? Your first one on this topic was awesome 🙂
All the praise and glory to father Yehovah,
Yehoyakim
