This report is an expanded edition of one of our most controversial articles. It answers the top reasons why people believe in the pre-tribulation rapture from a Messianic post-tribulational perspective. It considers whether or not various pre-tribulationists have employed tactics of fear and faithlessness, and whether or not their ideology of escapism can be supported by a fair reading of the Holy Scriptures.

New music: Tehillot Yisrael (Praises of Israel)
Shalom holy friends,
We’ve added fresh Messianic Jewish music from Israel on the station:
Various Artists – Praises of Israel תהילות ישראל
This new album is recorded live in Israel and features some of the top recording artists in the Israeli Messianic community, including Yaron Cherniak, Sarah Liberman, Sheli Myers, Birgitta Lundvall, Jamie Hilsden, and many more.
Here’s how our friends at the Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel describe the album:
Praises of Israel is a live recording of 13 Messianic songs performed at a public Concert in Jerusalem, May 2019. It is in continuation of the well-known series “Praise to Our God” albums.
The name of the concert and CD is based on the verse “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel. (Psalms 22:3).
What a blessing to know that God, the Holy Creator of the universe, is enthroned on the praises of His people – He alone is worthy of all our worship!
The album in your hands is the blessed fruit of the labor of many skillful and faithful of the Lord’s people in the Land.
Love it! And I know these fresh songs for the Lord will invigorate your mind and soul as Israel praises the Lord.
If you enjoy this album, please support their holy work by purchasing the album here . Thanks, friends! Enjoy the new music for Messiah.

We’ve also updated some styling on the home page for desktop and tablets: as the songs change, so will the text color of “trending”, “my likes”, “recent”, and “popular”:
Each time a song plays, the text color will transition to the album colors. In the above screenshot, the album text color is red, so the trending, my likes, recent, and popular links become red as well.
And finally, we revamped the My Likes pages to work like trending, popular, and recent. They all work better on mobile as well.
Enjoy!

What Does the Shema Really Mean? – Articles
While the Shema of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 undoubtedly has an imperative for God’s people of worshipping, loving, and serving Him—the Shema also has an important place in religious history as it concerns monotheism. When the Ancient Israelites left Egypt, and were preparing themselves to enter into the Promised Land, they would certainly need a “statement of belief,” if you will, by which they would declare their exclusive loyalty to the LORD God, and not any of the other deities of Canaan. The Shema enjoined the requirements for God’s commandments to be taught to the people of Israel, and that they were to instruct their children.
In much of religious studies since, and most especially today, approaches to the Shema have gone beyond what was originally intended for the Ancient Israelites. While all who profess the Shema claim that their devotion is directed to the God of Israel, there can be a wide difference of approach between how the Shema is viewed in Jewish theology and Christian theology—particularly when it comes to the statement “the LORD is one.” In historical Judaism, the Lord being “one” means that God is a single entity. In historical Christianity, being “one” means that God is surely a prime entity, but that He may be composed of multiple elements like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
