Purpose
Moriah Ministries, a Messianic Jewish ministry, desires to facilitate the unity of Jews and Christians. We teach the Jewish roots of Christianity through praising and teaching. We desire to restore intimate praise to the Lord, even as King David praised, through the production of videos to teach Davidic Dance. The videos are not merely instructional but all have a firm foundation of scripture. The videos present an integrated teaching of worship to God from the biblical and traditional roots.
Amos 9:11 is the scripture upon which Moriah Ministries, a Messianic Jewish Ministry, is founded. Years later it is now coming to fulfillment.
To better understand the significance of Amos 9:11 it is important to look at the meaning of the words in Hebrew.
The scripture begins with On that day, the Lord’s appointed time, He will raise up, which means rising up from a prostrate position, the tabernacle of David. Usually tabernacle is translated as ōhel, a noun, meaning a tent of animal skin or mishkān derived from a verb meaning dwell. However, in Amos 9 the word is sūkkâ or booth, a protective covering. Significantly, this is the word used specifically for the Feast of Tabernacles, the third and final pilgrimage festival of the year in observance of the fall, end-time, harvest.
The place where David worshiped and cried out to the Lord for his people has now fallen down. Nāphal means to be cast down by either common physical action or violence. In either case, one's worship desires to strive to the standard of David.
Damages have been done to the tabernacle. The word in Hebrew is perets and means a breach, a gap in a wall, a rupture. There is something missing in the way we usually worship God. There is a gap or breach in our worship to Him. The Lord Himself will repair it. The word in Hebrew is gādar and means to wall in or around, close up.
The tabernacle is in very poor condition. Not only is it damaged it is also in ruins, heresah. The word also means destroyed, overthrown. In God’s infinite mercy and lovingkindness He is going to rebuild it ,bānâ, which speaks of bringing a work to completion. Also, it idiomatically means to bring about increase in offspring.
As in the days of old, ‘ôlām, forever, everlasting, connects the remote times of King David into perpetuity, the future millennial reign of David’s promised seed. Then peoples of all nations will worship the Messiah, even as King David did.
We designed this
tour so our guests can include their children.
With our Messianic guide, we will not only visit the
traditional scriptural and historical sites, we will
also include locations for the young and young at
heart. Additionally, we plan to meet with
various Messianic leaders in Israel to learn how the
Lord is moving in His land among His covenant Jewish
people.
