The Real Yeshua

The Beginning of My 39-Year Journey! By Jim Myers Me Back Then! Thirty-nine years ago this month I began the journey that led to the work we do today at the Biblical Heritage Center. In my wildest dreams I could have never imagined where that journey would lead.

  Tisha B’Av Begin August 10 th at Sundown From sunset August 10th until nightfall August 11th is Tisha B'Av – the Remembrances of the destruction of the First and Second Temples . Although a large number of disasters are said to have befallen the Jews on this day, the major commemoration is of the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem in 586 BCE and 70 CE, respectively. Central to the observance of this day is fasting. Although the exact date of the destruction of each of the Temples–the ancient centers of Jewish life and practice –are unknown, tradition dates the events to Tisha B’Av – the 9 th of the Jewish month of Av .

It was in August 1980 and I was preparing to enter a Bible College to train to become an ordained minister when it happened! I could have never guessed how much it would influence the course of life for the next thirty-nine years and hopefully many more.  I had just returned home after purchasing a new Bible to use in my studies. I opened the box, took it out, opened it and prayed this prayer: “ Dear God, please show me what You want me to learn .” Immediately the following words popped into my mind: “ Unless you know how words work, you cannot understand the words of the Bible .” My first thought was, “ What in the heck does that mean? ” The second thought was, “ Was that from God or just some random thought that came out of thin air? ” So, what did I do?

While the Biblical Heritage Center is certainly about the book we call the Bible, it is also about much more.   It is about all the beliefs, doctrines, ideas, legal systems, traditions, folklore, religions, religious institutions, educational systems, philosophies, and sciences that have been influenced by the Bible and/or that have influenced the Bible.   Many of these are not only related but also interrelated.   This dynamic relationship has played a major role in the development and evolution of these disciplines and has formed the basis for what we know about them today.   Chances are very good that you have a biblical heritage, even if you are an atheist or agnostic.   The better you understand that heritage, the more focused you will be in understanding the world of your ancestors and the world in which you now live.
