Messianic Viewpoint

Welcome to Messianic Viewpoint! Ariel means Lion of God. This ministry was established in 1996 to promote the work of evangelism and discipleship in Canada. We recognize Israel in the plan of God, defending the biblical position that God is not through dealing with her, nor are His promises to her yet fully fulfilled. In these “last days” there is a great need for Jewish outreach. We pray that both Jew and Gentile would be blessed through this ministry’s work. We are a branch of Ariel USA under the founder director, Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, a Messianic Jew and international Bible scholar.

Ariel Canada’s founding director is Jacques Isaac Gabizon, a Sephardic Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus). Born in Casablanca, Morocco and hailing from a long line of rabbinical ancestry, Pastor Gabizon came to faith in 1977 after investigating and accepting the claims of the Old Testament prophets as to who the Messiah is. Jacques Isaac also pastors Beth Ariel Congregation in Montreal. His teaching of the Scriptures emphasizes the Jewish perspective, incorporating the cultural, social, and rabbinical teaching of the first century to help draw a more accurate understanding of the Scriptures as a whole. Jacques and his wife Sharon have 4 children and two grandchildren.
