The Wild Olive Branch            

The Christian's roots in Israel - shared with the Jews

The  Old Testament of the Christian bible is the Jewish Tanakh, and the New Testament is built on these Jewish scriptures.     

Why do some Christians dislike and ignore the Old Testament ?

 

We are familiar with the Christian holidays.  

Why don't we understand the Jewish feasts and holy days that Jesus celebrated ?

 

Jesus was born, lived and died as a Jew.   

Why do some Christians say,   "I don't like Jews" ?

 

God promised the patriarchs of Israel, "He who blesses you, I will bless and he who curses you, I will curse." 

Why do so few Christians support Israel and the Jews in informed prayer ?

In these pages we look at what went wrong, the good things we are missing, the way things should be, and how Israel and the Jews are key to world events as they unfold, in these end-times .

 

This website explores the relationship between Christianity and Judaism  (the Jewish faith), including Messianic Judaism.   It explains the Jewish roots of Christianity, and the continuity of revelation and worship through Jewish and into Christian scriptures.   It looks forward, with the Jews, to the  coming  of their Messiah and ours.   It is possible to span the gulf that opened over the centuries by realizing where we stand.   The apostle Paul likened  non Jewish Christians to wild olive branches grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Israel.   Since this is the basis of our acceptance by the God of Israel,  www.wildolive.co.uk  explores the implications of this relationship.

An understanding of Hebrew and Jewish culture, tradition, faith and worship can add so much to even familiar Bible stories and  celebrations.   

This was nearly all lost due to replacement theology so we look at all the Jewish Feasts and their relevance and importance for the Christian.

We want to see how much can be recovered, and how we Christians can draw nourishment from our Jewish roots.

The unfolding of God's purposes in World History centres around Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews.  The Christian can not afford to ignorantly follow the prevailing world-view of events in the "Middle East" and side with those who oppose God's purposes and His chosen people.    We need to understand and act upon "the signs of the times" revealed in Israel, so we look at the politics and media coverage of Israel and the forces ranged against her.

We seek to draw practical conclusions for ways the Christian can be in God's will concerning these matters.

We also want to point the way to the many resources which are available for those who seek to draw from their roots in God's olive tree.

Australia   Australian Judaism Executive Council reports a 50% rise

A record number of new Jewish immigrants to Israel from the West. From France more immigrants arrived in 2005 than over the past 34 years and from North America, a record number was set for over 22 years. For the first time since the Palestinian Intifada and subsequent terror attacks, the downward trend has turned and more Jewish immigrants will arrive this year than last year. http://www.israelnewsagency.com/jewishagencyisrael48481228.html
