[CLICK HERE] A word from me. I, Phil Goble, am in a wasteland. A voice crying out in the wilderness. A wasteland called Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where everyone is a darshan (preacher) and no one is a darshan. But how can the Crown Heights Messiahists (deluded by a false dead Christ named Schneersohn) be saved without faith? And what is faith but adherence to the Word? And how shall they hear the Word without a preacher? And how shall they believe and be saved unless a preacher is sent? You say, "I don't listen to non-Jewish preachers, and I don't believe in lady preachers." My only argument with you is to say that I would be in hell if I had not had a non-Jewish preacher and a lady preacher. For my entire youth the preacher in my life was my born again mother. Then, when despite her preaching (and she was a "Huldah" for me 2 Kings 22:14–20 and 2 Chronicles 34:22–28, though I did not inquire of her), even so, when I had completely corrupted myself in a "far country" called Beverly Hills, my mother sold all that she had and went on what would be the journey of her life to rescue her prodigal actor son, to drag me to hear another preacher named Myron Taylor so I could be saved. And how was I saved? By the "foolishness of preaching" (1 Corinthians 1:21). Preachers are tested by their audience, so you may be weighing this in your mind right now, whether to click out of this website, "since ye seek proof of Messiah speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you." (2 Corinthians 13:3). This is the proof you seek. My mother sacrificed all she had and her sacrifice was not in vain. My Savior saw her sacrifice and said, "So noted." And He did indeed speak through the preacher my mother found, Myron Taylor, and the Holy Spirit wooed me and convicted me with many tears and I heard the κήρυγμα (the proclamation which is cried by a κήρηξ a herald), the proclamation of the Gospel, which went something like this: Phil Goble, for you, at the age of 28, it has become right now for you the Latter Days, it is right now for you your last chance to escape, and right now you must accept that your Savior has been born, has lived, has ministered, has died for you personally, and has stood up alive from the grave as Judge, and that for you, Phil Goble, the Holy Spirit had come to convict you of sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment when your Savior returns and that you must right now turn from sin and receive the Father's offer of forgiveness, and the Holy Spirit, and salvation. That was the proclamation I heard, the κήρυγμα (that which is cried by a κήρηξ a herald). And as then in 1971, so in the beginning all the Jewish "Iva Goble's" and "Myron Taylor's" of the First Century Meshichistim Yidden went everywhere preaching the Gospel. And the Orthodox Jewish Bible says "And those having gone forth preached the Hachrazah (Proclamation, Kerygma) everywhere, [while] Adonoi was working with them, confirming the Besuras HaGeulah through the accompanying otot (signs). Omein."

Chronology and partial Bibliography

1943

Born in Princeton, Indiana; born again in 1971, when my mother, born again in 1935 in the Reel Ave Christian Church in Vincennes, Indiana where my grandfather sang in the choir, looked for a congregation in that fellowship of congregations and dragged me to this pastor, this preacher who preached me into salvation and then called McGavran, also in the same fellowship of congregations as my grandfather, and then this preacher sent me to McGavran to begin my ministry

1961

Enrolled at Indiana University having graduated from Oakland City High School when I believe a divine clock started to tick for me and many Jewish people. In my sixth year following my high school graduation, in June fifth sixth seventh eighth ninth and tenth, the Six-day War occurred where Israel destroyed the Egyptian Air Force in a preemptive strike and "Jerusalem was no longer stomped down by gentiles" (Luke 21:24). And just four years after that the book below under the publishing date 1974, Everything You Need to Grow A Messianic Synagogue, was researched starting in 1971 when the crucial passage in Act chapter 21 was translated. Because after 1967, instead of one or two Jewish people coming to faith, there were hundreds of congregations of Jewish people coming to faith, and this 1974 book told them "Look don't follow Paul's (church planting) example (see Galatians 2:9 on the proper Shliach congregation planting specialization); follow the example of Yaakov the Shliach who had a Messianic Synagogue in Jerusalem and these Jews were zealous for the Torah and they lived a Jewish lifestyle, they did not assimilate and the synagogues were very Jewish, and they saw Moshiach in every verse of the Torah (Luke 24:44). And that's why they were so zealous for the Torah. They believed in the Moshiach (Acts 21:20). And so they said, "Rav Shaul you have to go to the Temple and show that you're still a practicing Jew and you have to leave us to keep doing what we're doing which is proliferating messianic synagogues!" (see Acts chapter 21.) So this book was researched in my tenth year after high school which was four years after the Six Day War and God was timing the publication of this book, I believe, and that's why when I got out of high school there were ten long years before I became a believer because Hashem wanted to wait because He knew that when my salvation preacher picked up the phone and called Donald McGavran "Hey I've got a young man here I want to send over to the seminary" at that exact moment, Hashem arranged and timed that this book would come through McGavran. And that's why it (my salvation) was timed the way it was.

1965

Donald McGavran arrives in Pasadena, California

1967

Abe Schneider was an open air preacher. In the Fairfax area of Los Angeles for 23 years Abe knocked on Jewish doors and tried to present the Good News to them, and for 23 years the door was slammed in his face. But then this thing happened June 7, 1967, and all of a sudden they weren't slamming the door; they were listening. And a great Jewish revival was beginning to happen. See Time Magazine June 12 1972 p.67. Many, many Jewish people were coming to the Lord. And the transition point was June 7, 1967. Now you should know this, because the ORTHODOX JEWISH BIBLE right here in Daniel 8:14 says, "And he said unto me (Daniel) unto EREV-BOKER 2300, then shall the Kodesh (the Sanctuary) be vindicated." And then when you get to Luke 21:24 it says, "Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." And then notice in the ORTHODOX JEWISH BIBLE you have this all-important reference back to Daniel 8:13. Now when the Good News according to Romans is preached, when Paul, when Rav Shaul gets to Romans chapter 11, he says he doesn't want the Gentiles to be unaware, "For I do not want you to be unaware, Achim B'Moshiach (Brothers in Messiah), of this raz (mystery), lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a hardening in part has come upon Israel, UNTIL the full number of the Gentiles has come in." So this thing about the Gentiles and the times of the Goyim is very important. "And so, Klal Yisroel shall be delivered (shall be saved) as it is written, 'Out of Zion will come the Goel Deliverer, the Redeemer. He will remove peysha from Yaakov (Jacob, Israel).' " Now the ORTHODOX JEWISH BIBLE -- imagine this! -- Who in their right mind would write a book EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GROW A MESSIANIC SYNAGOGUE -- unless there WAS a revival among the Jewish people! And that's what happened! God sent Abraham (Schneider), this open air preacher, and he came to Fairfax, Los Angeles. And then my teacher, Dr Donald McGavran arrived after him in 1965. And then the man that preached and I became a believer (Myron Taylor) arrived in 1966 in Southern California. And then a couple of years later, my mother, Iva Goble, arrived, to bring me to the congregation so I could find salvation. And then a little while after that Acts chapter 21 was translated (August 1971). And the proper exegesis of Acts 21 and Galatians 2:9 then shortly thereafter led to the publishing of EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GROW A MESSIANIC SYNAGOGUE. Now imagine. God used these Gentiles (we were minor players and there were many others that God used even more) to prepare the way for a great people movement in the sense of organizing congregations. And many Jewish men became messianic synagogue planters using this (international missiologist Donald McGavran edited) book, Everything You Need to Grow A Messianic Synagogue. And this was all what God did. Now there was a man named Adam Clarke back in the time that Abraham Lincoln was a teenager. This Methodist British theologian sat down with nothing more than the Bible and by doing the calculation, he came (and he was very close, very accurate) to the time that he thought the Day of Jerusalem would be, when those (Israeli) paratroopers would go in and fight the Jordanian troops and actually take over the Temple Mount and that whole area of the Old City of Jerusalem, that this prophecy (Daniel 8:13-14) was fulfilled June 7, 1967. And Adam Clarke, a Methodist Expositor, actually saw it (1825). Now if you will go to Bible Hub and if you will Google "Daniel 8:13-14 Commentaries" you will then get the BibleHub commentaries and you can then click on "Clarke" and, if you use the search function to search for "1966" you will see that Adam Clarke actually writes in 1825 the year 1966. He almost got it right. He forgot to allow for that (since there's no Year Zero) Adam forgot to add 1 for the transition from BCE to CE. Adam Clarke wrote "A.M. לבריאת העולם ) 3670 ) B.C. 334; and two thousand three hundred years from that time will reach to A.D. 1966." Adam Clarke did not get that close, missing only by one year, spending all his time reading the Talmud. He studied the Bible.donate

Doctoral finished, Messianic Judaism: A Biblical Apologetic with a View to Liturgical Reform

1975

Periodical article (missiology) published, Reaching Jews through Messianic Synagogues

May 19, 1975 was a very hot day on Miami Beach. The Holy Spirit was speaking to me (Acts 8:29) that hot day! Just as He was telling Philip the mevaser to speak to the Ethiopian Eunuch, so He was telling this “Philip” to go evangelize a man nine feet out in the Atlantic Ocean, an Orthodox Jewish bather named Art Raymond who was standing in the Miami Beach water up to his neck. I’m talking about New York City WEVD Radio personality Art Raymond who died many years later in Boynton Beach, where the Lord checked me into the Wishing Well motel with 23 cents in my pocket. So I witnessed to Art in Miami Beach. And a week later I was in his 1975 black Cadillac surveying a vast unreached Brooklyn Orthodox Jewish virgin field in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Then later that same day in 1975, out at Laguardia Airport, getting ready to fly back to Miami Beach, a messianic Jewish leader named Richard Briefstein was weeping and describing to me a prophetic dream, a prophetic vision, where in the dream he saw these Orthodox Jewish people burning in the EISH OLAM (“eternal fire” Jude verse 7) with no fire truck around, with whole Yiddish-speaking Jewish shtetl neighborhoods burning in Brooklyn and no fire truck responding, no believer caring, even though these are the Moshiach's own unsaved relatives perishing in the flames of hell’s eternal holocaust. Now nearly 50 years later what Richard Briefstein was urgently begging from me as he told me his dream is finally ready because in Miami on Yom Kippur Monday, September 25, 2023, the Hasidic Yiddish Bible was archived and licensed by YouVersion App (1 billion app installs worldwide. O if you would only catch the vision I was given in May of 1975 in New York City when I was 32 years old. O if you would only RUN like a prayer warrior to your prayer closet and pray because I want to assure you that Richard Briefstein’s vision was from the Holy Spirit in May, 1975, and “though the vision delay, wait for it, for it will certainly come and will not delay.“ (Habakkuk 2:3)donate

1978

I sat down and made my own world map of the Jewish population and the global major cities where they live, praying that I could somehow reach them, and I created this map in 1978 right before the Lord checked me into the Wishing Well Motel and began to answer my prayer, because two years later in Thailand the Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism (LCJE) was formed to globally reach the Jewish people in these same cities on my map, and 46 years later the ministers assigned to these global cities were informed by the LCJE of our revised 1949 Aaron Krelenbaum YIDDISH NT TRIGLOT, and all that happened partly because my mentor Dr Donald McGavran was the keynote speaker at the (first) 1974 Lausanne Conference.

There are university presidents with multimillion-dollar salaries allowing Hitler youth rallies on campus, there are highly paid tenured professors who have brainwashed a generation with academic Marxism. Meanwhile college graduates owing their future earnings to 100,000 dollar college loans say they can't afford to get married, say they have to fornicate in their room at home with their girl friends and can't buy homes because of their debt-destroyed bad credit ratings. So they are ready to march to the voting booth now and turn the United States into Cuba. All because of one scoffer, Karl Marx. 2 Peter 3:3 says, Knowing this first, that during the acharit hayamim (last days) there will come letzim (mockers, scorners) mocking, going after their own ta'avot (lusts). (Orthodox Jewish Bible) As Paul Johnson notes, "it was generally believed, not only in Germany but throughout Central and Western Europe, that [Marxist] Bolshevism was Jewish-inspired and led, and that Jews were in control of Communist Parties...Hitler was soon to make highly effective use" of this anti-Semitism with the Holocaust becoming his kind of Satanic preemptive strike. Religion-is-the-opiate-of-the-people Marx's words in The Communist Manifesto "the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie [capitalist class owning means of production] lays the foundation for the sway of the proletariat [workers or working-class people, regarded collectively]" actually laid the foundation for the killing of more than a hundred million people in the last century. "By their fruit you will know them...Beware of false prophets" (Matthew 7:15-20) made into heroes by the leftist academicians.

1994

Pentecostal signs and wonders thwart a persecution takedown. You ask, What textual evidence is there for the Orthodox Jewish Bible? Remember this translation was partially translated in 1994. Remember also that Yochanan 1:41 translates the Jewish Greek word Christos as the Ashkenazi Hebrew word Moshiach and that in Yochanan 1:49 the word for Melech HaMoshiach is Basileus. In this verse the word Rebbe (Yiddish for Rabbi) is also used. So if the Goyim use Christos as a curse word, why should someone buried in Old Montifiore Cemetary in 1994 be given this exalted title that translates Christos as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach when we find those very exalted words in the textual evidence in the first chapter of Yochanan for the true Moshiach who is, by the way, not to be found in ANY cemetary? And why shouldn't Christos be translated that same exalted way consistently wherever the word Christos appears? Based on an analysis of the Aramaic text and context, Daniel 7:13-14 indicates the figure Rashi calls only the Melech HaMoshiach should be worshipped as exalted deity: The Aramaic word used for "serve/worship" (פְּלַח pelach) in Daniel 7:14 is typically used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to worship of God, not service to human rulers. The description of the "one like a Son of Man" coming on the clouds of heaven in Daniel 7:13 uses imagery elsewhere associated with God's appearances and not to idols (Daniel 3:12 see פְּלַח pelach here also). The dominion given to this figure is described as everlasting and universal over all peoples, which implies divine status. David's "Lord" (Psalm 110:1) is called Lord or God by Malachi, Jeremiah, and Isaiah (Malachi 3:1; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Isaiah 9:5-6)donate.

CLICK ON REDWhen the founder of CRU (Bill Bright) died in 2003, Billy Graham said: “He has carried a burden on his heart as few men that I’ve known- -a burden for the evangelization of the world. He is a man whose sincerity and integrity and devotion to our Lord have been an inspiration and a blessing to me ever since the early days of my ministry.” In 1972 when Phil was sitting in the Dallas Cotton Bowl watching these two men (Billy Graham and Bill Bright) ministering, little did he know that 47 years later, his work would appear in a Progressive Web App with Bill Bright’s work that would download potentially to one out of every four people in the world. GREAT TREES GROW FROM VERY SMALL SEEDS. When Ralph Winter came back from speaking at the 1974 Lausanne (Switzerland) International Congress on World Evangelization he published Phil's first book, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GROW A MESSIANIC SYNAGOGUE. Then Phil told him about the next project that he felt the Lord was laying on his heart, not knowing of course that all the above men would be in heaven by the time when the project would finally come to fruition at the end of 2019. “Being confident of this, that He Who BEGAN a good work in you will COMPLETE it...” Philippians 1:6. In 1974 there was neither the technology (PWA or Progressive Web App) nor the Biblical research to do the project Phil spoke to Ralph Winter about. But is anything TOO HARD for the Lord? No the Lord grew both the technological tree and the Biblical research tree over the next 47 years!

Born in Princeton, Indiana, May 2, 1943

1. Parentage and Early Life. In a transitory and cult false prophet world, Earl Goble could trace his ancestry back eleven generations to England. Through my father Earl Goble, I am a direct descendent of Thomas Goble, who migrated to America in 1633 about 5 years after the birth of John Bunyan. Thomas Goble settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts. This was the Puritan Great Migration fleeing King Charles I. Thomas was admitted to the first Church of Charlestown on August 30, 1964. This was only an hour's drive from Plymouth, Massachusetts and only 13 years after the Mayflower landed. 10 generations later my father began working for the Public Service Electric Company as a lineman. He and his wife Iva and their firstborn Nicholas were able to rent a house on Trussler Street in Oakland City, Indiana, before buying one on Madison Street, where Phillip, or Phil, as he was called, grew up. From the age of nine Phil became determined to study acting and find fulfillment as an artist.

2. Early Adulthood. After graduating high school, Phil traveled one hundred miles to Bloomington, Indiana, where he began studies as a Drama major at Indiana University.  He finished both the Bachelor's and Master's degrees and then made his way to Hollywood, California, where shortly thereafter his professional acting career began before the camera and on stage.  However, one fateful day, on Hollywood Blvd, in the Readmore Bookstore, he happened to open the newly published New English Bible and began to read the Scriptures for the first time. Deeply stirred, it was just a matter of a few weeks before he was a graduate student again, this time enrolled in seminary in Pasadena, California.  It was now 1971 and he knew there was a holy call on his life and he had to answer it. Romans chapter 9 speaks of the divine purpose in pursuance of election based not on works but rather on "Him that calls" and this is of greatest importance to him and to you, to make this calling and election sure.

3. Preparation for Service (two miraculous motel rooms and two supernatural car rides). As soon as he began seminary, when he was not in the classroom or the library, he found himself preaching two or three times every week in the open air in the little village of Westwood, a couple of blocks from the University of California at Los Angeles. Most of his audience consisted of Jewish UCLA students, who would stop to inquire or debate. It was at this time that he began very slowly and painstakingly translating into English part of the Bible (not realizing he was embarking, in fact, on a forty year project, THE ORTHODOX JEWISH BIBLE in English, Yiddish, and Hebrew).  And now also he was studying books on Orthodox Judaism. For example, the first book he found in a Jewish bookstore in the Fairfax area of Los Angeles became very precious to him.  It was called, The Vocabulary of Jewish Life, and had been published by the Hebrew Publishing Company in New York City.  During this time he was filled with the Ruach Hakodesh and many miracles began to happen.  One day in 1973 he took a tape recorder and several suitcases of books and checked into a motel, where, for a long time, a kind of stream-of-consciousness inspiration was on him, and he dictated into the tape recorder his first book, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GROW A MESSIANIC SYNAGOGUE, which was edited by Donald McGavran in the weeks leading up to McGavran's keynote speech at Billy Graham's Lausanne Conference on World Evangelization. This book, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GROW A MESSIANIC SYNAGOGUE, was immediately published in 1974 with the result that many thousands of copies were being read by believers as well as Messianic Jews all over the world, who were multiplying exponentially during the last seven years, since the Six Day War (see Lk 21:24,29-31). 

One of the miracles that happened at this time was a vision regarding messianic synagogues in Florida.  Today there are more messianic synagogues in Florida than in most places in the world.  But then, in 1975, there were none. 

But no sooner did Phil arrive in Miami Beach to start planting messianic synagogues than he had a supernatural experience walking along the Atlantic Ocean.  The Ruach Hakodesh impressed on Phil to speak to a man who was standing about twenty feet out in the water, submerged in the ocean water up to his neck.  This seemed like a strange request, but a short time later Phil found himself riding around Hasidic Brooklyn in this man's 1975 black Cadillac, being given a tour of a vast and wonderful world of Yiddishkait.  The man himself, it turned out, was a Jewish media personality and celebrity in New York City, who knew all the Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish Who's Who in New York and Israel and was also G-d's instrument to inspire Phil for ministry in New York City, even indirectly giving him the idea of writing a play that would present Rav Sha'ul (the Apostle Paul) as a theatrical stage character--the historical chasid of all chasidim that he was.  However, when his brief tour of Hasidic Brooklyn was completed, no sooner did Phil get out to Laguardia Airport to fly back to Miami Beach, when something even stranger happened, and Phil was infused with a great spiritual burden of sadness and sorrow than can only be grasped by those given a heart to fathom Romans 9:1-3.  What happened was this.  At Laguardia airport a Messianic Jewish leader met Phil and they had an encounter with G-d there in the airport.  Weeping copiously, the Messianic Jewish leader told Phil about a vision he had had of an Inferno in Brooklyn.  It was like a terrible nightmare, a dream.  In the vision, with no one seemingly noticing or caring, the Hasidic neighborhoods of Brooklyn were on fire.  The Messianic Jew described it like whole Jewish cities on fire but no one stopping to look, no one bothering to call the Fire Department, no one even upset about the flames engulfing the Hasidic neighborhoods of Brooklyn.  After a long time of weeping, Phil got on the plane, shattered, weighed down now with a great Isaiah 66:24 burden * that had been suddenly imparted to him and would be with him for the rest of his life. It would be 31 years later when, in conjunction with several other Evangelical ministries, 79,000 DVD's would be mass-mailed to these neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and 41 years later when the Four Spiritual Laws and the Complete Yiddish Bible would be translated into Hasidic Yiddish

However, when Phil flew back from LaGuardia to Miami Beach to continue planting messianic synagogues, it did seem like ages since he had met the man out in the water of the Atlantic Ocean; yet it had only been a couple of days, but very fateful days indeed in 1975, as would be obvious 31 years later in the summer of 2006 when 79,000 DVD's would be mailed to these very neighborhoods. 

But resuming the chronicle in Miami Beach of pioneer messianic synagogue planting, we come to 1978. The first Monday of September being Labor Day, it was no small matter to the Lord to check this ministry into its website afii.org on Labor Day weekend, 1995, and to check the Orthodox Jewish Bible into the high-trafficked biblegateway.com on Labor Day, 2012. But so that it would be clear that He is the Potter and his ministers are just the clay, on Labor Day weekend, 1978, with three messianic synagogues established in Florida, but with great depression and totally penniless, all seemed hopeless. On that Monday night, September 4, 1978, walking on I-95, with only 23 cents in his pocket, no wallet, no home, no place to sleep, no place to go, a car suddenly stopped.  This car also took Phil for a supernatural ride, like the 1975 black Cadillac in Hasidic Brooklyn.  This car brought Phil to a motel, The Wishing Well Motel, in Boynton Beach, Florida, where a free room from the L-rd was waiting for him along with a spiritual experience that would set his course for the next two decades. It seemed all his prayers were being answered when he left the motel with the L-rd's business card, which read, "Your wish will come true at the Wishing Well Motel."  In rapid fashion the L-rd thereafter supplied what His business card had promised: many theatres all over America, Canada, and Israel, as well as a professional broadway director, the play's publisher (Tyndale House Publishers, Wheaton, Illinois, the same prestigious publisher that released the book version of Mel Gibson's PASSION film); also the Lord provided THE RABBI FROM TARSUS screenplay, the production company, the distributor, the film crew, the film director, and THE RABBI FROM TARSUS (Word, Inc, Waco, Texas became the producer of the VHS Home Video) was seen by hundreds of thousands of people, including new productions by professional actors in Australia, South Africa and all over the world.      

4. The Idea Unfolds. While all of these performances were being prepared or taking place, a steady stream of books were being written:  EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GROW A MESSIANIC YESHIVA, HOW TO POINT TO MOSHIACH IN YOUR RABBI'S BIBLE, and others.  A study of the Babylonian Talmud, the Jerusalem Talmud, and the Shulchan Arukh brought clarity to the idea that there was a need for a new translation of the Bible into English as well as Aaron Krolenbaum's 1949 Yiddish Translation in Triglot for "Shulchan Arukh" Orthodox and Hasidic Jews.  For the purpose of accomplishing these things, a new not-for-profit organization, and a Bible School and also a Bible Society, was founded in New York City called ARTISTS FOR ISRAEL INTERNATIONAL (AFII P.O. Box 2056 New York NY 10163 or chat text 212.245.4188, along with a theatre with its raison d'etre to promote Biblical Judaism through the use of the arts and all kinds of media. Please donate.
