Diana Dye

Dr. Diana Dye was raised in a Conservative Jewish home in Ottawa Canada. At the same time she lived in a predominantly "Gentile" neighborhood where she was exposed to the world of the Christian faith. These experiences influenced her to search for truth which she decided would be based on 3 things: easy to understand, for everyone, and based on love.She met the truth in Yeshua the Messiah in the late '70s. She immediately began to teach the Hebrew roots of the faith. Today her passion is to help believers learn to study and research the Hebrew roots of Christianity for themselves and to begin to incorporate the prayer services into their personal lives.

Israel as the Fish
Diana Dye	The conventional understanding of “fish” in John 21:1-14 views the symbol as representing the redemptive salvation of the Christian Church, a conclusion that is often based on a tendency to interpret the NT from the NT. However, the methodology of this study identifies particular passages, first in Genesis 1-4, which is the first mention of the symbol, then in the Torah, and finally in the prophets and writings. The study finds that “fish” is an allusion to the House of Israel, which has been hidden in the nations and protected by God, and will be fished out of the sea and brought back to her land in the future Messianic Kingdom. The paper does not address the relationship of the Church to the symbolism of “fish”.
