Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith


The IMJA believes that the BIBLE, consisting of the Tenach (First Covenant) and the B’ritHadasha (Second Covenant), is the only infallible and authoritative word of G-d. We recognize its divine inspiration and accept its teachings as our final authority in all matters of faith and practice (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Proverbs 3:1-6; Psalm 119:89, 105; Isaiah 48:12-16; Romans 8:14-17; II Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17).
 


THE MESSIAH


The Anointed One and Redeemer: The Scriptures promised two “comings” of the Messiah .It is written that the Messiah first had to redeem the souls (fallen from the sin of Adam and Eve in Gan-Eden), so that once the time had come, that is to say, the precise time set by the Creator (according to the prophecies), reign over Israel and over all Nations.
 
First Coming: Promised in Daniel 9:24-26. The initial coming’s purpose was to make atonement (covering) for sin (Daniel 9:24-26; Isaiah 53; Romans 3:21-31; Hebrews 9-10; John 3:16-17)—as the Suffering Messiah. The Redeemer shall come to Zion (Isaiah 59:20-21; Zechariah 14:4).
 
Second Coming: The Messiah Yeshua will return to the earth as King (Revelation 19:11-16). Upon His return, a many wonderful thing will happen: He will bring with Him an army of the Heavenly hosts, and those who went on before us (Revelation 19:14) and those who are still on earth will meet in the air to receive the believers to Himself (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; John 14:1-6; I Corinthians 15:51-57).
