John McKee delivers the December 2021 Outreach Israel News update.
J.K. McKee
John McKee evaluates the common Messianic view that the Twenty-First Century Messianic movement is recapturing the experience of the First Century Messianic movement. What are some of the various aspects of this which are not frequently discussed?
John McKee discusses the very uncomfortable fact that we are in the final days of evangelical Protestantism—and that succeeding it is going to be a very liberal and progressive Christianity.
John McKee discusses the difficulties that many Messianic people have with the theological concept known as “realized eschatology,” and how future prophetic realities have started to break into the present.
The holiday of Chanukah, or the Festival of Dedication, is full of many customs and traditions that give our celebration great life and depth. During this time of year, we have the awesome opportunity to commemorate the work of God from some 2,200 years ago during the time of the Maccabees. If they had not fought against the Seleucid invaders of Israel, the Jewish people would have either been destroyed through war, or would have disappeared via cultural assimilation.
The subject of what Messianic Believers are to be doing for the Winter holiday season can be very controversial. On the one hand, Messianics should not really be celebrating Christmas, because it is non-Biblical and was created to be one replacement for observing the appointed times of Leviticus 23. On the other hand, should all Messianic Believers celebrate Chanukah, or the Feast of Dedication? Primarily the debate surrounds the fact that often the celebration of Chanukah can become a replacement for Christmas, and that Chanukah is not a Biblically-mandated holiday, as it is not in the Leviticus 23 list.
John McKee discusses how today’s Messianic people can be positively affected by the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.

The importance of how much of the Messianic movement has presented itself as “the end-time move of God,” and what this means for the future as we contemplate when we are, and what our mission is.
John McKee discusses whether there is truly going to be a massive end-time revival of billions coming to salvation, or instead a radical contraction and compression of Biblical faith.
