:''This article refers to the modern religious movement. For the Hebrew language grammatical structure, see Semitic root'' Hebrew Roots is a Christian religious movement that advocates the return and adherence to the first century walk of faith and obedience to the Torah 〔http://www.ourfathersfestival.net/hebrew_roots_movement〕 by Jesus (known as ''Yeshua HaMashiach,'' the Hebrew name for "Jesus the Messiah") by seeking a better understanding of the culture, history, and religio-political backdrop of that era which led to the core differences with both the Jewish, and later, the Christian communities.〔http://houseofdavidfellowship.com/qanda.htm〕 Joseph Good provides a good summary of religio-political history: “To support the Jewish people, or even Jewish customs, was interpreted as not being loyal to Rome…pressure was being put on Jewish believers from three sides: first, from the non-believing pagans who hated anything Jewish; second, from the non-believing Jews who feared their power among the people; and third, within their own congregations by the new gentile believers who were entering the faith already affected by the rampant anti-semitism.”〔Good, Joseph, 1998. ''Rosh haShanah and the Messianic Kingdom to Come.'' Hatikva Ministries.〕 ==History== Since the early 20th century, different religious organizations have been teaching a belief in Yeshua as mankind's redeemer and savior from man's own sinful nature and a lifestyle in keeping with the Torah, the Sabbath and the annual Feasts (or ''moedim'', Holy Days). These include Messianic Judaism (to a very limited degree) in 1916, the Sacred Name Movement (SNM) in 1937, and the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) in the 1930s, and, later, the Hebrew Roots Movement. Thus far, the WCG has had the greatest impact on all organizations which teach these beliefs, including obedience to much of the Old Testament law, both nationally and internationally〔John Dart. 1989, April 1. Top Ratings for Schuller, 'World Tomorrow' : Two TV Ministries Rise Above Bible Belt. ''Los Angeles Times''. http://articles.latimes.com/1989-04-01/local/me-920_1_world〕 until about 1994-95. Within a few years after the death of its founder, Herbert W Armstrong, in 1986, the succeeding church administration modified the denomination's doctrines and teachings in order to be compatible with mainstream evangelical Christianity, while many members and ministers left and formed other churches that conformed to many, but, not all, of Armstrong's teachings. Consequently, the WCG spawned numerous splinter groups,〔Religious Tolerance: The Worldwide Church of God, and various splinter groups. http://www.religioustolerance.org/〕 with most of these new churches adopting names bearing the term "Church of God" (COG) and retaining the belief system developed by Armstrong.〔''Hebrew Roots: History of the Hebrew Roots Movement.'' http://www.ourfathersfestival.net/hebrew_roots_movement〕 In contrast, Hebrew Roots (or sometimes, Hebraic Roots) is a grassroots movement without an ecclesiastical superstructure and it does not adhere to the COG belief system, nor does it adhere to Messianic Judaism, or to the SNM, although there are commonalities. A number of their founders began teaching about the need to keep the 7th Day Sabbath, to observe annual Feasts, and to obey Old Testament commandments years before these topics were taught and accepted by some in the Christian churches. These early teachers include William Dankenbring (1964) and Dean Wheelock (1981) (both of whom had prior associations with different Churches of God), Joe Good (1978), and Brad Scott (1983). Batya Wootten's curiosity about the Gentile majority in many Messianic-Jewish congregations resulted in her first book about the two houses of Israel in 1988. This was later followed by her 1998 book entitled ''Who is Israel'' (now renamed in its 4th edition as ''Redeemed Israel'').〔Bacan, Mike. 2011-2015. The Hebrew Roots Movement: An Awakening! http://www.ourfathersfestival.net/hebrew_roots_movement〕 In 1994, Dean and Susan Wheelock received their Federal Trademark 〔http://www.trademarkia.com/hebrew-roots-78207418.html〕 for the term Hebrew Roots®, after which they began publishing the ''Hebrew Roots®'' magazine in April/May 1998, and later a website: http://www.hebrewroots.net/. The goal of this group is “Exploring the Hebrew Roots of the Faith Once Delivered,”-“roots” which go back to not only Yeshua and the Talmidim (Apostles), but to the Nazarenes 〔William F. Dankenbring. ''The Mysterious Relationship of The Early Nazarene Christians and Rabbinic Judaism''〕 of the first century and, ultimately, the original Hebrews (''Ivrit''), Abraham and his offspring, who were the first to "cross over" (which is what "Hebrew" means in the Hebrew language). Those who continue in this Hebraic walk seek out the history, culture, and faith of the first century believers who, like Abraham and Moses obeyed God’s voice, charge, commandments, statutes, and laws (Gen 26:5). The 41,000,〔(Christianity Today – General Statistics and Facts of Christianity Today )〕 denominations of Christianity commonly believe that such obedience is no longer required. The Hebrew Roots movement began emerging as a distinct phenomenon in the mid-1990s (1993–96).〔 In 1997, Dean Cozzens of Open Church Ministries (Colorado Springs, CO) published a prophecy titled "The Hebrew Movement", which revealed that God had foreordained four major moves for the 20th century, Pentecostalism, Faith-healing, the Charismatic Movement and finally the Hebrew Roots Movement. In this prophecy, the Hebrew Roots Movement is the "final stage of empowerment" before Christ returns. Several Hebrew Roots ministries are now preferring to use the term ''Awakening'' instead of the term "movement" which has been used widely since the 1960s to define politically oriented movements.〔 The movement / ''Awakening'' has accelerated in the last few years,〔Hauer, Rev Cheryl. 2011, Feb 1, 2011. Hebraic Roots--Heritage or Heresy? http://www.bridgesforpeace.com/teaching-letter/article/hebraic-roots-heritage-or-heresy/ accessed August 10, 2013〕 mainly because of a shift within the Messianic Jewish community. The Hebrew Roots movement and a few Messianic Jewish groups diverge on the issue of One Law theology (one law for the native born and the sojourner, c.f. Numbers 15:16)〔(One Law Movements; a Challenge to the Messianic Jewish Community January 28, 2005 )〕 which Hebrew Roots subscribes to, but which some Messianic Jewish groups deny. One Hebrew Roots teacher, Tim Hegg, responded to this issue by defending what he believes to be the biblical teaching of "One Law" theology and its implications concerning the obligations of Torah obedience for new Messianic believers from the nations.〔(One Law Movements A Response to Russ Resnik & Daniel Juster )〕 The Two-House and One Law differences have affected musicians who are welcomed by Hebrew Roots fellowships notwithstanding their beliefs: "...many Messianic Jewish artists who are heavily influenced by organizations like the MJAA and the UMJC have been told by their leadership that if they ever appear at an MIA event they will not be able to play with them again".〔The Messianic Israel Alliance ''Herald''.
