The letter to the Ephesian believers is largely misunderstood these days. While everyone loves Ephesians 2:8 and 9, few are aware of the far-reaching implications to be found in the context surrounding that pair of verses. Ephesians is about kingdoms, community, and warfare. It is about the culmination of the Messianic Kingdom and the blending of Jews and Gentiles into one new community, never before dreamed of by either. This little letter is almost a chapter-for-chapter exposition of Isaiah 55-59. The parallels are fascinating, and carry great significance when considering the meaning conveyed by Rabbi Sha'ul (AKA Paul the Apostle). Readers won't want to miss out on this study, with its insightful approach to the Scriptures! "EPHESIANS" can serve as an excellent tool for personal study, devotional reading, or group discussion. It contains well-researched material, but is written in a style that is easily accessible to all readers, young and old. Regardless of age or experience, this work will open the reader's eyes to new ideas that will make a tremendous impact on his or her life. Relevant and eye-opening, "EPHESIANS" is a must-read for everyone interested in the message of the Bible-Jews and Gentiles, Christians and Messianics, congregational leaders and "just plain members". At the core of this book lies a call for unity among followers of Messiah Yeshua, regardless of ethnic background. The author has been part of the Messianic Jewish community for over thirty years, and brings to the discussion a great deal of information relating to the Jewish background of Rabbi Paul. So, prepare to dig into Ephesians from a perspective you've probably never heard before!
