The Feasts and Fasts of Israel: Their Historical and Prophetic Significance

This work is devoted to those Jewish feasts and fasts that are observed on a yearly basis.

The introduction explores the historical background, function, and order of the Jewish calendar. This is followed by the first part of the book, which surveys the seven holy seasons of Israel. To set the stage, the sacrifices described in the book of Leviticus are presented, followed by an introduction of the holy seasons of Israel. Then, the festivals are studied one by one, beginning with Pesach and ending with Sukkot. The author explains how the holy seasons were to be celebrated in accordance with the Mosaic Law, how Rabbinic Judaism observes them, what their Messianic implications are, and how they have been or will be fulfilled in the Messianic program.

The second part of this commentary covers the post-Mosaic feasts of Israel, namely Chanukah and Purim. This is followed by a third part, which deals with Rosh Chodesh and Tisha B'Av, the minor Jewish feasts and fasts.

The commentary is based on Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum's decades of teaching and original research of the Talmudic source texts and the works of other scholars. Compiled and edited by Christiane K. Jurik, M.A., this work offers many practical graphs and illustrations which make it a helpful tool for those who seek to enhance their personal Bible study as well as for those who wish to prepare meaningful sermons and lectures.

The Footsteps of the Messiah:

Study Guide (Pre-Printed)

by Jackie Sciascia and Laina Maher

Jackie and Laina's burning desire to teach the illuminating truths of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's landmark work on prophecy led them to develop this remarkable study guide. Years of effort by these longtime friends of the ministry have gone into the writing and refinement of this new resource. The study guide has been tested for more than three years, with over one hundred students in various classroom settings. Designed around a straight forward question and answer format, the guide works equally well for large, small, or even home groups. Student response has been enthusiastic:

• "This is a great guide, makes Footsteps easy to understand..."
• "Could not have done it without the guide..."
• "Good questions, makes you think..."
• "Love all the bullet points in the guide..."
• "After taking this class using the guide, I have decided to lead a group out of my home."

A recent email comment from Debora C. in Montana:"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have taught Eschatology through three times (and am halfway through another class right now) using Footsteps as the primary resource. The best I could come up with was a hodgepodge of mismatched, seat-of-the-pants note guides to teach from. I'm always thinking 'I should carve out some time and make a workbook to minimize the amount of review I wind up doing.' Imagine my great delight when I logged on to Ariel.org and saw the new Footsteps Study Guide!"

If you are a group leader, this guide is an essential tool that will help you effectively communicate what the Bible teaches about what is yet to come. For personal study, this guide will prove invaluable to your grasp of the rich eschatological treasures awaiting discovery in Dr. Fruchtenbaum's "The Footsteps Of The Messiah."

The Remnant of Israel: The History, Theology, and Philosophy of the Messianic Jewish Community

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Thirty-five years after the publication of Hebrew Christianity: Its Theology, History, and Philosophy, Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum has again surveyed the rapidly changing face of the Messianic Jewish Community. The Remnant of Israel: The History, Theology, and Philosophy of the Messianic Jewish Community, is an update on the growing and diversifying community of Jews who have found favor with God by receiving Jesus as Messiah. Written by a Messianic Jew for Jew and Gentile alike, here is an articulate survey of the biblical position of the Messianic Jew in the setting of community. Dr. Fruchtenbaum again assesses how this community is distinctive and how it relates to the Jewish people, the Law of Moses, the local church, the State of Israel, missions, and many other timely topics. The rapid growth of the Messianic Jewish community has provoked interest as well as offense. Here is what is happening in the lives of Messianic Jews and how they and their movement relate their faith to the rest of the world.

The Sabbath

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

This detailed study of the Sabbath comes at a time when there is so much confusion and debate among both Jewish and Gentile believers regarding what the Bible really teaches about it. The apologetics used for mandatory Sabbath-keeping are almost exclusively based upon the Old Testament for obvious reasons: there is no New Testament command for believers in general or Jewish believers in particular to keep the Sabbath. The purpose of this study, then, will be to examine what the Sabbath is in both testaments. At the same time, it will examine arguments used to support mandatory Sabbath-keeping. This study examines the Sabbath in Judaism, the Old and New Testaments, the issue of Sunday worship and the Sabbath, the Sabbatical Year, and the Year of Jubilee.

The Soteriology of the Bible

by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum

Volume 7 of the Come and See series examines the crucial topic of “soteriology,” the doctrine of salvation. The theology of salvation stands at the heart of the Christian faith, and as this book shows, there is an essential relationship between the nature of salvation and the character of the God who provides salvation. Dr. Fruchtenbaum presents soteriology from a dispensational perspective, answering questions about the nature and results of the atonement wrought by the Messiah’s death. He examines controversial topics such as Arminianism and Calvinism and leads the reader to a better understanding of the dichotomy between free will and election through a detailed study of relevant biblical passages.

What the Bible Teaches About Israel: Past, Present, and Future

An Abridged Version of Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Anyone who reads the Bible will soon realize that the Jewish people are the apple of God's eye. Israel, they will quickly see, is the centerpiece of divine, prophetic activity. Since God's Word places such an emphasis on this tiny nation, it seems only logical that the question of Israel is central for a proper understanding of the Scriptures. Some may ask: Hasn't the church replaced Israel? Aren't all born-again believers in Messiah Jesus "spiritual Jews"? Questions like these may only be answered on the basis of a proper systematic theology, one that includes a biblically developed Israelology. This work investigates four approaches to the theology of Israel past, present, and future, and scrutinizes beliefs that tend to confuse the identities of both Israel and the church.

The work is based on the author's dissertation titled, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology and published by Ariel Ministries. The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a "tremendous, masterful book. Amillennialism, postmillennialism, and other forms of covenant theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them." The abridged version focuses on the heart of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's dissertation and offers a revised and updated text as well as charts and illustrations to enhance the understanding of this important study.
