Greta’s Biography

Greta is a believer from a Greek background who was born and raised in a predominantly Jewish community. She had a profound visitation of the Lord in 1982 which dramatically translated her into the Kingdom of Yeshua. In 1988, Yeshua again visited her, this time as the Jewish High Priest who took upon Himself the sin of the whole world. Since that experience, her life and ministry has been devoted to the salvation of Israel and Greece/the nations. Her burden to see the gospel go to the Jew first and also to the Greek has led her to traverse the bridge between Israel and Greece in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul.

Greta has organized and spoken at Jewish-Greek unity conferences to teach Jewish roots, the humanity of Yeshua and the reality of the one new man in order to further Jewish-Greek/Gentile unity. She has spoken in the USA, Greece, Germany, Finland, and Cyprus on the difference between the Hebraic and Greek heart-mind-set, an awakened conscience and a circumcised heart. She gained valuable experience working for David Wilkerson’s Teen Challenge ministry as coordinator of evangelism and discipleship programs for women. She also completed a training program under Reinhard Bonnke. Greta sees the connection between Israel and Greece as a crucial link in these last days as it was in the days of the first believers, rekindling revival and restoration, advancing the Kingdom of God and hastening the return of the Lord.

The Jewish-Greek Bridge

The Jewish-Greek Bridge is a vision for unity between the Jewish and Greek people, especially believers in Yeshua. It is a vision for the full restoration (Tikkun/Apokatastasis) and complete prophetic fulfillment of the Shem-Japheth identity and familial relationship, Israel being the son of Shem and Greece/Cyprus (and various European nations) being sons of Japheth. Genesis 9:26-27

In a very real way, human society is a “grafting” of the Jewish and Greek cultures and thought. Both Jews and Greeks are called to the God of Israel and each in their own unique callings, have had special roles to play in history, both individually and cooperatively. Romans 1:16; I Cor. 1:24

The call for the gospel to go to the Jew first, and also to the Greek, is first and foremost a literal and natural call. These national callings cannot be replaced or erased in time and in eternity. Replacement theology, which teaches that the church has replaced natural Israel, has no place in the full counsel of scripture. God’s calling of natural Greece also has not ceased nor been replaced by the generic phrase, “Gentiles.” The true God of Israel unites His children, whether Jew, Greek or any other nation. He doesn’t replace them. Could it be that what the Greeks have sowed in replacement theology, they have also reaped and therefore have been “replaced” in their unique supportive, expansive and cooperative role? Could the result of this be that now when we hear myriads say that to the Jew first and also to the “Greek” has nothing to do with the literal Greek, (but to the Hellenistic world in general), they fail to see that Paul uses the specific word Hellene rather than the general word Ethnos in many New Testament scriptures to mean the literal Greek first?

The call to become one new man, where the Messiah becomes all and in all, is not a call to erase our individual identities as Jew, Greek, male or female, but it is a divine invitation to go beyond our own spheres, callings and isolation, in order to become one as the Father and the Son are one Colossians 3:10-11; John 17:20-21, emphasizing our essential and eternal oneness in and through the God of Israel and the mystery of that oneness.

It is part of the predestined calling of the Greek to unite with the Jew in divine cooperation for the fulfillment of God’s redemptive purposes for humanity, until all is restored according to Acts 3:21. This divine invitation is to become, in spirit and in truth, the one new man who is both Jew and Greek/Gentile and yet much more from the union of the two. Like the marriage covenant of God, the two become one in order to bear good fruit that remains and endures unto subsequent generations. God consistently uses the Jew-Greek, male-female parallels in scripture because it takes the one to fully understand the other. They are forever linked. The union of Jew and Greek is ultimately for the purpose of being restored together in one body to the image of Christ where He is all and in all. Ephesians 3:10-11

Restoration of Identity and Purpose: The Shem-Japheth Brotherhood

In order for restoration of true identity and purpose to happen, we must discover and realign with our original callings in God. Shem is the genealogical line of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, including Yeshua. Therefore Shem (which means name) is both natural Israel and also Yeshua. Yeshua and Israel will always be interwoven in time and in eternity and one without the other cannot fully reveal who He is. In being called to dwell in the tents of Shem, Greece enters into the same God, family and covenant. Ephesians 2:19

Shem (name), has to do with the Jews giving the revelation of the one true God to the world. Japheth (enlargement/beauty), means that the Greeks/Gentiles enter the tent to enlarge and beautify it. The Rabbis say that of all languages, the Greek language is the only one able to translate the Hebrew scriptures eloquently and it has served to expand the Jewish revelation of God to the whole world.

What does it mean to dwell in the tents of Shem? It has to do with changing our “mind-heart-set” to an Hebraic one. God calls us all like Abraham, the first Hebrew, to dwell in temporal “tents.” He does not call us to build independent cities, empires or kingdoms, reaching to the heavens. We are called to dwell in the tents of Shem as a picture of our temporal existence, revealing that we, like our father Abraham, are seeking His city alone. Romans 11:8-10

We are not “at home” in these “tents.” We are groaning, waiting for our complete redemption, the restoration (Tikkun/Apokatastasis) of our body, soul and spirit. 2 Corinthians 5:4; Romans 8:22-23 We desire not to be unclothed but to be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Dwelling in the tents of Shem is ultimately about emigrating from our own self-focused life to immigrating to the God of Israel and His Kingdom. II Corinthians 5:6-9 It is the difference between being grafted into the line of Shem rather than living like Ham/Canaan whose sons, Nimrod and Asshur, built the cities of Babel and Ninevah and were ultimately destroyed.

Dwelling in the tents of Shem is about learning by heart-experience, abiding and journeying together in God and not about learning about God or one another theoretically. Yeshua Himself tabernacled among us, dwelling in a temporal “tent.” He too groaned to return to the glory He had with the Father before the world was. John 17:5 He is our model and example to follow.

Therefore God commands the nations to come to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles in the millennium, the only feast to be maintained and celebrated, not only by Israel, but by all the nations that remain. Zechariah 14:16-19 Therefore, dwelling in the tents of Shem is God’s eternal command to Israel and the nations to celebrate our only true oneness in the God of Israel. This great message extends into eternity, that we are one family in God, citizens of the commonwealth of Israel and that the holy Jerusalem is the eternal city of God and the mother of us all.

Romans 11 and Ephesians 2 and 3 expand and bring to fuller understanding what Genesis 9 lays out prophetically, and vice verse. Romans 11:17, Ephesians 2:19 and Ephesians 3:6 are about Japheth coming into the tents of Shem, being grafted into the commonwealth of Israel and partaking of the root and fatness of the olive tree, and ultimately into life from the dead. Romans 11:15 The gifts and callings are without repentance for the Jew (Shem), but they are also without repentance for the Gentile, (Japheth), for it is when the fulness of the Gentiles (melo hagoiim) comes in, that all Israel will be saved! Romans 11:25-26 Japheth must be grafted in through Yeshua to dwell in the tents of Shem and so all Israel will be saved!
