And you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share the nourishing sap from the olive root, Romans 11 v17

The Christian's roots in Israel - shared with the Jews
The "Old Testament" of the Christian bible is the Jewish Tanakh, and the "New Testament" is built on these Jewish scriptures. Jesus is a Jew. He was born, lived and died as a Jew. He was born King of the Jews and died King of the Jews. Jesus taught as a Jewish Rabbi. We are familiar with the Christian holidays. God promised the patriarchs of Israel, "He who blesses you, I will bless and he who curses you, I will curse." Jesus is coming back to Jerusalem |

In these pages we look at what went wrong, the good things we are missing, the way things should be, and how Israel and the Jews are key to world events as they unfold, in these end-times .
This website explores the relationship between Christianity and Judaism (the Jewish faith), including Messianic Judaism. It explains the Jewish roots of Christianity, and the continuity of revelation and worship through Jewish and into Christian scriptures. It looks forward, with the Jews, to the coming of their Messiah and ours. It is possible to span the gulf that opened over the centuries by realizing where we stand. The apostle Paul likened non Jewish Christians to wild olive branches grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Israel. Since this is the basis of our acceptance by the God of Israel, wildolive explores the implications of this relationship.
An understanding of Hebrew and Jewish culture, tradition, faith and worship can add so much to even familiar Bible stories and celebrations.
This was nearly all lost due to replacement theology so we look at all the Jewish Feasts and their relevance and importance for the Christian.
We want to see how much can be recovered, and how we Christians can draw nourishment from our Jewish roots.
The unfolding of God's purposes in World History centres around Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews. The Christian can not afford to ignorantly follow the prevailing world-view of events in the "Middle East" and side with those who oppose God's purposes and the people He chose to bring salvation to the world. We need to understand and act upon "the signs of the times" revealed in Israel, so we look at the politics and media coverage of Israel and the forces ranged against her.
We seek to draw practical conclusions for ways the Christian can be in God's will concerning these matters.
We also want to point the way to the many resources which are available for those who seek to draw from their roots in God's olive tree.

Iran Nuclear Weapons
It has been said that August 21st 2010 is the deadline for an attack by Israel or USA on Iran's nuclear reactor, since the Russians plan to start loading the reactor with fuel rods and an attack after that date would release radioactive material - a nuclear disaster!
Peace Talks
August 20th 2010; US Government announces peace talks to start in September. Just remember the precedents before rejoicing too much. Most such talks appear to have been followed by a surge of violence from the Palestinians.

A lesson from the past.....?
' "What kind of expression is this – "punishing Israel"? Are we a vassal state of yours? Are we a banana republic? Are we youths of fourteen who, if they don't behave properly, are slapped across the fingers? Let me tell you who this government is composed of. It is composed of people whose lives were spent in resistance, in fighting and in suffering. You will not frighten us with "punishments." He who threatens us will find us deaf to his threats. We are only prepared to listen to rational arguments. You have no right to "punish" Israel – and I protest at the very use of this term." '
Israeli Prime Minister, Manachem Begin to US ambassador Lewis in December 1981 after President Reagan sought to punish Israel.
