Hi everyone. I'm a new member of the group just introducing myself. My first name is Barry and I live in Murrieta California which is a nice conservative town between Riverside CA and San Diego, I'm retired and stay at home quite a bit and the primary things I'd like I'd like people to know about me is that I was raised in Judaism and blessed as a first born male of Israel. I knew the old testament fairly well before the Holy Spirit drew me to a knowledge of My Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ in 1978 (after 40 years of testing in the world). Since that time I've been studying and teaching bible prophecy and end time events and hope to be able to contribute to the forum from time to time. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you as time goes on (assuming we have time going on before we are all evacuated). If not, I'll meet you all up there. Thank you for your attention Welcome, Barry! Thank you for telling us about yourself. Very interesting! Looking forward to your posts. Barry Elkin! Welcome, brother. Shalom. Thank you for taking the time to sign up. I suppose in the late 70s and 80s you may have had a lot of pushback from your family. Just a suspicion. Maybe it has continued. Not prying here, but that must have been a trying time breaking away. I just love to watch the testimonies of people found on the "I Met Messiah" series on YouTube's One for Israel channel. If you haven't seen those I suspect you may identify with a lot of them. If you have been lurking for a while, you'll find lots of lovers of Yeshua. Praise His Holy Name! Welcome Barry! Like others, I look forward to your perspective on some of our topics as I am sure others will as well, perhaps there is a little time left prior to our removal some more discussions....or hoping to continue them at the Ritan coffee/tea/chocolate house sooner than later :yes: :bye: Shalom and welcome Brother Barry! Baruch Habah B'Shem Adonai. ^^ It is always nice to meet a Jewish brother in Messiah. I attend a Jewish Messianic Congregation, myself. I love the Old Testament/Tenach as it all points to Yeshua Ha'Mashiach/Jesus Christ. God has a great love for people of every tribe, tongue and nation and wants none to perish. It's a part of what will make heaven so wonderful. Fellowshipping and worshipping God with all the redeemed from all ages. :good: These are wonderful forums. You will meet a variety of people here but they are all very fun, gracious and love the LORD. So, make yourself at home.
