What’s new...

A new page to subscribe to our mailing list has been added. You will need to subscribe to receive e-mails from us in the future. You will be given two options: the first is for only the newsletters and the second is for local region announcements for Feast celebrations, workshops and speakers that Hoshana Rabbah is hosting. You may subscribe to one or both options.

We do not send out many e-mails, but we receive regular requests to be added to our mailing list and it has become too large to manage efficiently without a subscription service such as this one. To see an example of our newsletters, the two latest ones have been archived. A permanent link to our subscription page and the archived newsletters has been added to the right column of this page.

Exploradores de la ToraBeginning this Fall, look for the Spanish edition of Torah Explorers!

Thanks to a generous donation, we have been able to hire a translator to begin the project of translating our Torah Explorer studies from English into Spanish. There are approximately 500 million Spanish-speaking people world wide, and we receive requests to provide these materials in Spanish.

Your donations to this project are still needed and greatly appreciated. Our desire is to complete this translation and then begin translating the Adult Torah Study Outlines as well as many of our teachings, all of which we give to you freely, supported by donations.

Your donations also support printing and mailing these studies and teachings to prisoners who write and request them and to teachers and pastors in third-world countries who request them but don't have access to a printer or funds to print them. All materials are sent at no cost to those receiving them. Natan does not take a salary from the ministry (though Biblically he is allowed to) and freely donates his time to produce these studies and teachings. His wife, Sandi, and their children do the typesetting and editing on these studies, his wife is the webmaster, and his wife and oldest daughter work together to create the graphics for the website. There is no large paid staff behind this ministry. Your donations go directly to the costs to produce and distribute these materials.

If you consider this good ground, click here to go to a link to contribute to this ministry located at the bottom of this webpage. All donations, large and small, are received with a grateful heart and we pray that YHVH will bless you with his abundance!

Is America in End-Time Bible Prophecy? What Scripture prophesies will happen to America economically, politically, militarily and spiritually just prior to the Second Coming...The Bible teaches us that
to understand where you’re going,
you must first understand
who you are and where you’ve come from,
and that the key to
gaining your spiritual inheritance
is in understanding your spiritual heritage.

This is the teaching Natan Lawrence presented in a multi-media format at Sukkot NW 2007 @ Gold Beach, Oregon as well as an abridged version at the Messianic Israel Alliance’s Shavuot gathering in Salt Lake City, Utah in the spring of 2008, and again in Portland, Oregon at the “Prepare the Way” Love for Israel Conference, August 29–31st, 2008.

In this study, we will discover the following from the pages of your Bible:

  • We will identify who the descendants of Ephraim became and what amazing things biblical prophecies declared would happen to this people-group in the end times.
  • Because of spiritual apostasy, the descendants of Ephraim were scattered to the four corners of the earth with a large number of them ending up in North America.
  • The prophecies of the Bible describe America geographically, politically and historically.
  • The Bible describes America’s political, economic and military greatness.
    America’s arch-enemies in the end times will be the Islamo-Facists nations and their communist allies; Elohim will use America’s enemies to bring it to its knees spiritually.
  • America’s fall from greatness is a necessity for its repentance and spiritual revival. That revival will occur just prior to the second coming of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah.
  • America and the nation of Israel will have a special brotherly relationship and together they will defeat their mutual enemies.
  • America’s and Israel’s victory will result in helping to prepare the way for the return of Yeshua the Messiah, the return of the lost ten tribes of Israel to the Promised Land as prophesied in the Bible, and the unification of Jews and Christians under the kingship of Yeshua.

Scripture Prophesies the Return of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel
What Scriptural, Linguistic, Secular Historical & Rabbinic Sources Reveal on the Subject

Some may consider the subject of the identity and return of the lost ten tribes of Israel to be a controversial if not a taboo subject. The reason for this is that over the years some authors have developed some ingenious, sometimes wild speculations and even racist ideas pertaining to this subject. We want nothing to do with such nonsense!

In this brief treatise, we will examine some of the voluminous writings of the biblical prophets on the subject of the lost sheep of the House of Israel, and review what the Jewish rabbis, in line with the biblical prophets, have written on this subject over the centuries. Furthermore, we will look at linguistic, historical and archeological evidence from some of the world’s leading scholars on these subjects. After examining the evidence, you make up your mind as to what happened to the lost ten tribes of Israel and whether they will return to the land of Israel in the last days to fulfill biblical prophecy.

The New Testament Canon: Divine Origination From the 1st Century or of Catholic Church Origination in the 4th Century?
— a series of lectures by Natan Lawrence

The Messianic Scriptures/Apostolic Writings (New Testament) are under fire. Prominent Messianic teachers are currently questioning if the 27 books in the NT are all inspired or not. Others are questioning whether the Church fathers and Catholic Church “messed” with the original writings leaving us to doubt whether we can trust them as the truth or not. In confusion, some Believers have even turned away from the Gospel message and denied Yeshua figuring the New Testament is, to one degree or another, a man-made religious lie. What is the truth?

When was the New Testament canonized and by whom? Did YHVH Elohim leave his priceless Word hanging in the balance for hundreds of years only to finally have a Torah-denying and swine-eating paganized Church choose what would be Scripture or not?

We will produce substantial scholarly evidence that flies in the face of most Christian theologians who seem to support the party line of the self-justifying and self-exalting and self-substantiating Church system that says that it was the one who established the New Testament Canon through its Church councils and edicts. We will show evidence from the Scriptures themselves and from historical records that Yeshua commissioned certain apostles to canonize what would later become known as the “New Testament” Scriptures.

This series of lectures will strengthen your faith in the inspired Word of Elohim as preserved in the 27 books of the Apostolic Writings, in the Gospel message and in the Person, Redemptive work and deity of Yeshua. You will also have the tools to defend your faith and to help those who have fallen under the sway of false teachings questioning the divine inspiration of all of the Messianic Scriptures from Matthew to Revelation.
