Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel - VISION & MISSION: To express our identity as Jewish and Israeli believers in Yeshua the Messiah. To strengthen the unity and the bond between believers in Yeshua the Messiah in Israel. To be a living testimony to our faith in the God of Israel and in Yeshua the Messiah. To fulfil in some way the words of the prophets: “For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem”. Requestor's Comment: Based on the Vision & Mission statements, this Jewish movement in Israel appears to maintain faith in the traditional monotheistic God of Judaism, i.e., NON-Trinitarian, NON-Binitarianism, etc., along with faith in fulfillment of the Messiah ben Joseph (Savior) role of the Messianic prophecies by the man Yeshua, who will also fulfill the Messiah ben David (King) role of the Messianic prophecies. This is an important and fundamental difference from all other messianic groups, which typically espouse the Christian doctrines of a trinitarian or binitarian God and Christology.[147]
