THE KINGDOM OF YISRAEL

SEEKING OUT THE `LOST SHEEP` OF THE HOUSE OF YISRAEL

(A Bible-Study By Pastor Denis)                         

In the Besorah of Mattityahu ch. 10 vs. 6 and ch. 15 vs. 24, Yahushua makes 2 statements regarding those whom He came to seek and save.

On both occasions He makes specific reference to the

`LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF YISRAEL`

Now of course, the Jewish people on the whole, would not have described themselves as being `lost` at that time. They were, of course being governed by the foreign power of Rome; The Roman Empire was alive and well and controlling nations from India to England and Ancient Yisrael was one of those being governed....but the Yahudah had been back home in their Home-Land from their exile in Babylon for around 450 years...They had the huge and magnificient Temple, Sacrificial Offerings were continually being made, ie Passover Lamb, the Bullock, Red Heifer, etc,..The High Priest was there...the Sanhedrin, the Levites, and Kohanim, all seemed well, yet Yahushua came with the Proclamation of seeking those whom he termed....

`The Lost Sheep Of The House Of Yisrael`.

To understand what He means by this we need to go back a little into the history of Ancient Yisrael.....and also discover what it means to and how it relates to `Gentiles` today....

And as we do let us firstly look at a question posed by His talmidim just prior to His Ascension.

In Maaseh Shlichim ch 1 vs. 6, the talmidim ask Yahushua,

"Master, will you at this time RESTORE again the Malchut to Yisrael ?"

There is more to this question than we realize, for although on a simple level, there is the thought of the desire of Yisrael being delivered out from under the rulership of the Roman Empire......the Talmidim had another thought in mind....and Yahushua knew exactly what they were alluding to in the question for His immediate reply....

"It is not for you to know the times or the moadim which Abba has put under His own authority, But you shall receive power /authority , after the Ruach Hakodesh has come upon you; And you shall be witnesses to me, both in Yahrushalayim, and in all Yahudah, and in Shomron and to the four corners of the Olam."

...is not a rebuffing but rather an acceptance of their query and an outline of the Scope of Work to be undertaken for the longed-for Restoration that the Talmidim... and indeed all Ancient Jewry yearned for... and a promise of Heaven-Sealed Authority and Power to now bring about that Restoration.

For you and I to discover what this Restoration fully entails, and how it will profoundly affect all followers of Yahushua Hamoshiach we need to go back into the pages of History and do some delving........................

THE "GENTILE" NATIONS

OF THE EARTH

PROPHESIED TO BE THE OFFSPRING AND SEED OF AVRAHAM THROUGH YISRAEL

AN INTENSIVE SCRIPTURAL STUDY OF THE 10 `LOST` TRIBES OF YISRAEL

MELECHIM ALEPH CH.10 - MELECHIM BET CH. 25

(1st KINGS CH.10 - 2nd KINGS CH. 25)

THE ANCIENT KINGDOM OF YISRAEL
WAS A UNITED KINGDOM UNDER IT`S FIRST THREE MELECHIM, SHAUL, DAWID AND SHLOMO, WHO EACH REIGNED FOR 40 YEARS.

AFTER SHLOMO`S DEATH THE KINGDOM DIVIDED IN TWO, WITH THE (NORTHERN) KINGDOM OF YISRAEL POPULATING NIGH ON 2 MILLION SOULS AND THE (SOUTHERN) KINGDOM OF YAHUDAH, POPULATING NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION SOULS.

THEY EACH IN THEIR OWN TIME BECAME SUBJECT TO FOREIGN POWERS BECAUSE OF THEIR IDOLATORY AND REBELLION AGAINST YAHWEH AND EACH WERE EXILED FROM ERETZ YISRAEL.

THE KINGDOM OF YISRAEL WAS SUBJUGATED BY THE ASSYRIAN EMPIRE AND THE KINGDOM OF YAHUDAH WERE TAKEN CAPTIVE TO BABYLON.

THE (NORTHERN) KINGDOM OF YISRAEL WAS MOVED OUT OF NORTHERN YISRAEL BY THE ASSYRIANS AND ALTHOUGH A FEW YISRAELITES (AROUND 150.000) MADE IT BACK TO YAHUDAH TO BE CARRIED OFF TO BABYLON ALONG WITH THEIR BRETHREN YAHUDAH, THE MAJORITY OF THE NEAR 2 MILLION NORTHERN YISRAELITES WERE CARRIED OFF INTO THE VAST ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, AND THEN DISPERSED AND ASSIMILATED INTO THE GENTILE NATIONS AND ENDED UP BECOMING THEMSELVES THE `LE-GOYIM` - GENTILE NATIONS, BUT AMAZINGLY, THIS WAS AN EVENT THAT WAS PROPHESIED CENTURIES BEFOREHAND TO ABRAHAM, THE FATHER OF THE YISRAELITE PEOPLES.

THE DIVIDING OF THE KINGDOM OF YISRAEL

"AND ALL THE EARTH CAME TO SHLOMO TO HEAR HIS CHOCHMA, WHICH ELOHIM HAD PUT IN HIS LEV. AND THEY BROUGHT EVERY MAN HIS PRESENT, VESSELS OF SILVER AND VESSELS OF GOLD, AND GARMENTS AND ARMOUR AND SPICES, HORSES AND MULES, YEAR BY YEAR."

THE KINGDOM OF YISRAEL UNDER SHLOMO WAS KNOWN WORLDWIDE BECAUSE OF SHLOMO`S GREAT WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING AND FAVOUR WITH MEN, GIVEN TO HIM BY YAHWEH.

BUT AT HOME HIS PEOPLE WERE BEGINNING TO FEEL HARRASSED AND OVERWORKED BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY BURDEN OF TAX AND FORCED LABOUR CAMPS THAT THEY ENDURED. THERE WAS A FEELING OF DEEP RESENTMENT THAT THIS WAS GROSSLY UNFAIR. THE REASON BEING THAT IN HIS OLDER YEARS SHLOMO HAD MARRIED MANY WIVES AND HAD MANY CONCUBINES AND IN ORDER TO MEET THEIR SPIRITUAL NEEDS, SHLOMO HAD SET UP GROVES AND ALTERS TO THE FOREIGN ELOHIM OF HIS MULTITUDE OF FOREIGN WIVES, AND ALONG WITH THE UPKEEP OF THE SPLENDOUR OF HIS COURT AND KINGDOM AND HIS GROSS SELF-INDULGENCE THIS COST A LOT OF MONEY AND HARD LABOUR, AND UNFORTUNATELY HIS PEOPLE HAD TO MAKE PROVISION FOR THESE, AND THOSE WHO FELT THE MOST HARD-PRESSED WERE THE NORTHERN TRIBES.

HE HAD STARTED OUT WELL, WITH EARNEST, SINCERE AND DEVOUT HEART TOWARDS YAHWEH, SEEKING DIVINE GUIDANCE, WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING IN ORDER TO RULE HIS PEOPLE ARIGHT. HIS DOWNFALL WAS THE BUILDING OF ALTERS, SHRINES AND GROVES TO THE FOREIGN ELOHIM OF HIS WIVES THEREBY DISCOURAGING THE WORSHIP OF YAHWEH AND ENCOURAGING IDOLATORY THROUGHOUT HIS KINGDOM.

BEFORE SHLOMO DIED, YAHWEH REVEALED TO THE PROPHET ACHIYAH THAT HE WAS GOING TO TEAR THE KINGDOM FROM SHLOMO`S SON, RECHAVAM AND GIVE 10 TRIBES TO YAHRAVAM AN OFFICER IN SHLOMO`S COURT.

SHLOMO THEREFORE SOUGHT TO KILL YAHRAVAM BUT HE FLED TO MITZRAYIM FOR REFUGE UNTIL THE DEATH OF SHLOMO.

RECHAVAM CROWNED MELECH

AFTER THE DEATH OF SHLOMO, HIS SON RECHAVAM MET WITH HIS PEOPLE AT SHECHEM FOR HIS CORONATION. THE PEOPLE, DISCOURAGED BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY BURDENS IMPOSED ON THEM BY HIS FATHER HUMBLY PETITIONED RECHAVAM FOR AN EASING OF THE HEAVY TAXATION AND WORKLOAD. RECHAVAM SOUGHT THE COUNSEL OF HIS ELDERLY STATESMEN WHO ALL AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE A WISE THING TO AGREE TO THE PETITION AND THEREBY GAIN PUBLIC RESPECT AND LOYALTY.

RECHAVAM THEN SOUGHT THE COUNSEL OF HIS YOUNGER CABINET WHO, UNFORTUNATELY, ALL AGREED THAT NOT ONLY SHOULD RECHAVAM MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO BUT INCREASE THE TAXATION AND WORKLOAD EVEN MORE SO, AND SEVERE THREATS TO HIS PEOPLE WERE ISSUED IF THEY REBELLED.

OF COURSE THE NORTHERN TRIBES WERE ASTONISHED AT THIS AND DECIDED THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE SUBJECT TO RECHAVAM AND OPENLY DEFIED RECHAVAM`S AUTHORITY. THEY EVEN KILLED HIS OFFICER IN CHARGE OF THE FORCED LABOUR SYSTEM AND RECALLED THE EXILED YAHRAVAM TO ANOINT HIM AS THEIR KING INSTEAD OF RECHAVAM.

YAHRAVAM CROWNED MELECH OF `EPHRAIM YISRAEL`

YAHRAVAM THE EPHRAIMITE WAS CROWNED KING BY THE 10 NORTHERN TRIBES IN 971 BCE, AND IMMEDIATELY RECHAVAM, SHLOMO`S SON GATHERED AN ARMY WITH THE INTENT TO REGAIN THE NORTHERN TRIBES WHO ACCOUNTED FOR ALMOST 2 MILLION PEOPLES WHICH WAS FAR MORE THAN HALF HIS KINGDOM, BUT YAHWEH SENT THE PROPHET SHEMAYAH TO INSTRUCT KING RECHAVAM NOT TO ATTACK HIS BRETHREN, FOR THE SPLITTING OF THE KINGDOM WAS YAHWEH`S DOING.

RECHAVAM THOUGHT IT BETTER TO LISTEN TO THE PROPHET AND THUS OBEYED YAHWEH.

IN THE DIVIDING OF THE KINGDOM, THE 2 TRIBES WHO REMAINED LOYAL TO SHLOMO`S SON, RECHAVAM , WERE YAHUDAH AND BENYAMIN.

ALSO INCLUDED WERE THE SMALL TRIBE OF SIMEON WHO HAD EARLIER BEEN ABSORBED BY YAHUDAH; ALSO A NUMBER OF LEVITES REMAINED WITHIN EACH KINGDOM AS THEY WERE ORDAINED AS PRIESTS TO ALL YISRAEL IN THEIR WORSHIP TO YAHWEH ELOHIM, BUT THEY DID NOT CONSTITUTE A SINGLE TRIBE IN EITHER KINGDOM.

THE KINGDOM WAS SPLIT INTO TWO AND NEVER REGAINED UNITY, AND THERE WAS OFTEN OUTRIGHT WAR BETWEEN THEM, SOMETIMES THEY FORMED UNEASY ALLIANCES BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT EACH TRIED TO IGNORE THE EXISTENCE OF THE OTHER.

THE NORTHERN KINGDOM BECAME KNOWN AS YISRAEL BUT SOMETIMES WAS REFERRED TO AS EPHRAIM OR `EPHRAIM YISRAEL` AFTER THE NAME OF THE LARGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT TRIBE.

THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM WAS KNOWN AS YAHUDAH.

YAHRUSHALAYIM REMAINED THE CAPITAL OF YAHUDAH AND THE PLACE OF WORSHIP FOR THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM, FOR THE MAGNICIENT TEMPLE WAS THERE,

BUT YAHRAVAM, THE KING OF YISRAEL BEING AFRAID THAT HIS PEOPLE MIGHT RETURN TO FOLLOW RECHAVAM KING OF YAHUDAH WHEN THEY WENT SOUTH TO YAHRUSHALAYIM TO OBSERVE THE PASSOVER AND FEAST DAYS, SET UP NEW PLACES OF WORSHIP THROUGHOUT THE NEW NORTHERN KINGDOM OF YISRAEL.

HE HAD 2 GOLDEN CALVES FASHIONED AND DECLARED TO THE PEOPLE,

 "BEHOLD YOUR ELOHIM, O YISRAEL, THAT BROUGHT YOU UP OUT OF THE LAND OF MITZRAYIM."

 (ECHOES OF THE WORDS OF AHARON).

HE SET UP THESE IDOLS, ONE IN THE NORTH AT DAN AND ONE IN THE SOUTH OF HIS KINGDOM AT BETH-EL; AND CALLED ON YISRAEL TO BRING SACRIFICIAL OFFERINGS TO THESE GOLDEN CALVES CONTRARY TO TORAH. HE ALSO APPOINTED PRIESTS WHO WERE NOT LEVITES, AGAIN CONTRARY TO THE TORAH AND ALSO SET UP TEMPLES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, TO IDOLS, IN WHICH TO OFFER SACRIFICES AND APPOINTED FEAST AND CELEBRATION DAYS AND DATES WHICH WERE FROM HIS OWN LEV AND NOT ACCORDING TO TORAH, THEREBY GREATLY ANGERING YAHWEH AS HE LED HIS PEOPLE AWAY FROM TRUE WORSHIP INTO REBELLION AND IDOLATORY.

THE YISRAELITES CONTRARY TO THE WORD OF YAHWEH ALSO INTERMARRIED WITH THE SYRIA/PHOENICIANS WHO WERE THEIR NEIGHBOURS, THEREBY INTRODUCING MORE FALSE ELOHIMS INTO THEIR WORSHIP AND TAINTING THE YISRAELITE BLOODLINE.

THE OFFSPRING OF THESE UNIONS WERE LATER TO BECOME THE `MONGREL` SAMARITANS WHO WERE DESPISED SO MUCH BY THE YAHUDAH IN THE DAYS OF YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH BECAUSE OF THEIR MIXED BLOODLINE AND THE IDOLATORY OF THEIR YISRAELITE FOREFATHERS.

EPHRAIM YISRAEL CARRIED INTO EXILE

AS THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF YISRAEL CONTINUED IN THEIR WORSHIP OF IDOLS, YAHWEH ELOHIM SENT THEM MANY PROPHETS OVER A PERIOD OF 250 YEARS WARNING THEM THAT UNLESS THEY RETURNED TO HIM HE WOULD ALLOW THEM TO BE ATTACKED AND SUBJUGATED BY THE ASSYRIANS WHO WERE AN UTTERLY RUTHLESS AND WARRING PEOPLE AND WHO SHOWED LITTLE OR NO MERCY TO THOSE THEY CONQUERED.

SADLY, YISRAEL EVEN WENT AS FAR IN THEIR IDOLATORY AS TO TOLERATE THE SACRIFICING OF CHILDREN BY THE WORSHIPPERS OF BAAL DURING THE REIGN OF MELECH ACHAV AND HIS GROSSLY WICKED QUEEN ISAVEL WHO WAS AN AVOWED WORSHIPPER OF BAAL AND A SWORN ENEMY OF YAHUWEH.

THERE WERE FEW IN THE LAND WHO REMAINED TRUE TO YAHUWEH, BUT ELIYAHU THE NAVI AND HIS SERVANT ELISHA AND 7.OOO OTHERS HAD NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL.

IN THE FINAL 50 YEARS OF YISRAEL`S TIME AS A KINGDOM YAHUWEH ELOHIM SENT THEM THEIR FINAL PROPHET TO WARN THEM OF A COMING DISASTER. HOSHEA, WHOSE NAME MEANS SALVATION WAS INSTRUCTED BY ELOHIM TO GO TO YISRAEL AND WARN THEM.

AS A SIGN TO HIS PEOPLE, HOSHEA IN THE FIRST CHAPTER OF HIS BOOK WAS TOLD BY ELOHIM TO MARRY THE HARLOT, GOMER.

GOMER REPRESENTED YISRAEL WHO BEING MARRIED TO YAHUWEH WHO IS THEIR SALVATION HAD GONE A WHORING. SHE THEN BORE HOSHEA 3 CHILDREN WHOSE NAMES WERE:

(1) YIZRE-EL,                MEANING : `ELOHIM WILL SCATTER AND SOW`

(2) LO-RUCHAMAH : MEANING     `NO MERCY`

AND

(3) LO-AMI              WHICH MEANS  `NOT MY PEOPLE.`

AGAIN, AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO THESE 3 CHILDREN WHOSE NAMES WERE PROPHETIC OF HOW YAHUWEH ELOHIM VIEWED YISRAEL, AND PROPHETIC OF THEIR COMING FATE, GOMER AGAIN GOES AFTER OTHER MEN, AND IS SOLD IN THE SLAVE MARKET.

HOSHEA IN HIS UNFAILING LOVE FOR HIS WIFE GOES TO THE SLAVE MARKET AND REDEEMS HER.

THE PROPHETIC PICTURE IS CLEAR THAT SINCE YISRAEL CONTINUES TO GO A WHORING, YAHUWEH HAS DECIDED TO SCATTER YISRAEL AND HER CHILDREN AND SOW THEM AMONGST OTHER ELOHIM-DESPISING PEOPLE, YAHUWEH WILL SHOW THEM NO MERCY AND DECLARES THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER HIS PEOPLE; AND ALTHOUGH YAHWEH HIMSELF HATES DIVORCE, YISRAEL HAS IN EFFECT WRITTEN YAHWEH A `BILL OF DIVORCEMENT` AND GONE INTO WHOREDOMS.

YET BECAUSE OF YAHUWEHS DEEP COMPASSION AND UNFAILING LOVE FOR YISRAEL AND MINDFUL OF HIS PROMISE TO AVRAHAM, YAHUWEH PROPHESIES THAT THE TIME WILL COME WHEN HE WILL SEEK OUT YISRAEL IN THE SLAVE MARKETS OF THE WORLD AND REDEEM HER BACK FOR HIMSELF.

THE REST OF THE BOOK OF HOSHEA IS AN AMAZINGLY PROPHETIC DESCRIPTION OF FUTURE YISRAEL BEING SO `LOST` AMONG THE GENTILES THAT SHE HAS NO MEMORY OF HER FORMER LIFE AS THE WIFE OF YAHUWEH AND THUS BECOMES SO `GENTILISED` THAT SHE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE GOYIM AMONG WHOM SHE LIVES, WORSHIPPING FALSE ELOHIMS, EATING SWINE, REFUSING TORAH, REJECTING THE TRUE SHABBAT IN FAVOUR OF OTHER DAYS, REJECTING THE MOEDS OF YAHUWEH AND CELEBRATING OTHER PAGAN ORIGINATED RELIGIOUS EVENTS.

BUT, LIKE HOSHEA, YAHUWEH GOES DOWN TO THE MARKET PLACE IN THE LAST DAYS, CHAPTER 3 vs. 5, AND REDEEMS HIS WIFE FROM THESE PAGAN CULTURES, AND AS CHAPTER 6 vs.1-3 DECLARE, IT WILL BE

"AFTER 2 DAYS," IE. 2.000 YEARS.

AND IN

"THE 3RD. DAY` HE WILL EXALT US."

 IE. IN THE MILLENNIUM IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE 2 DAYS.

SURELY, WE ARE NOW LIVING IN THIS 3RD. MILLENNIUM DAY, (2001- And Onwards)

YISRAEL, REJECTING THE PROPHETIC PICTURE OF HOSHEA, THEIR FINAL PROPHET, THEN FALL UNDER THE MISHPAT OF YAHUWEH. IN 721 BCE, SPANNING A PERIOD OF 250 YEARS, AFTER A TOTAL OF19 KINGS FROM 9 DIFFERENT FAMILIES AND NOT A GODLY KING AMONG THEM, AND 9 PROPHETS OF YAHWEH SENT TO WARN THEM THAT IF THEY CONTINUED IN THEIR REJECTION OF TORAH HE WOULD CAUSE THEIR EXILE AMONG FOREIGN NATIONS, IN-SO-MUCH THAT THEY WOULD NOT EVEN REMEMBER THEIR IDENTITY AND COVENANT BLESSINGS,......

IT HAPPENED.

THUS SADLY, AFTER IGNORING THESE WARNINGS, SAMARIA THE CAPITAL OF THE KINGDOM OF YISRAEL FINALLY FELL TO HER ENEMIES THE ASSYRIANS, WHO TRUE TO THEIR CHARACTER, BRUTALLY SUBJUGATED THE YISRAELITES, REMOVING THEM FROM THEIR LAND AND PLANTING THEM FAR OFF IN THEIR VAST EMPIRE, AND SO AS TO MAKE THE SUBJUGATION COMPLETE, IN TRUE FASHION DID A POPULATION TRANSFER BY BRINGING IN OTHER CONQUERED FOREIGNERS TO FILL THE LAND AFTER YISRAEL`S EXILE AND LEAVING BUT A FEW YISRAELITES IN THE LAND AS FARMERS AND CARETAKERS.

THE WORD OF YAHUWEH HAD BECOME A BRUTAL REALITY.

SADLY, THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF YISRAEL HAD BECOME `LOST`:

LOST TO THEIR TORAH! ... LOST TO THEIR COVENANT OF CIRCUMCISION ... LOST TO THEIR COVENANT OF SHABBAT AND HOLY DAYS ...

AND  LOST TO THEIR IDENTITY AS YAHWEH`S CHOSEN PEOPLE.

YAHWEH HAD FULFILLED HIS WARNING TO AN UNHEEDING PEOPLE.

THEY NEVER AGAIN, AS A TRIBAL NATION RETURNED TO ERETZ YISRAEL!!

AND WHAT OF THEIR BRETHREN IN THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM OF YAHUDAH?

YAHUDAH ALSO CARRIED INTO EXILE

ALTHOUGH YAHUDAH HAD RETAINED THE WORSHIP OF YAHWEH AND ATTENDED TO TORAH AND MUCH THAT WAS REQUIRED OF THEM AS A SET-APART PEOPLE UNTO YAHWEH, THEY ALSO, LIKE THEIR BRETHREN YISRAEL HAD GONE MANY TIMES INTO IDOLATORY.

IN 586 BCE, 135 YEARS AFTER THE FALL OF YISRAEL, THE KINGDOM OF YAHUDAH ALSO BECAME ENSLAVED TO A FOREIGN POWER - THE KINGDOM OF BAVEL - (BABYLON) -

YAHUDAH HAD HAD 19 KINGS AND 1 QUEEN AND ALL OF THEM DESCENDANTS OF KING DAVID. SOME OF THEM WERE GOODLY KINGS WHO WORSHIPPED YAHWEH, OTHERS WERE NOT STRONG IN THEIR WORSHIP OF THE TRUE ELOHIM, AND UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ATTITUDE WAS REFLECTED IN THE LIFE OF THE NATION BY THE CONTINUAL EROSION OF TRUE WORSHIP THROUGHOUT THE LAND, SO THE DIVINE INDICTMENT WAS ALSO PRONOUNCED THAT ...

`YAHUDAH ALSO, DID EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF YAHWEH.`

NEVUCHADNETZAR, MELECH OF BAVEL, OVERTHREW YAHRUSHALAYIM. THE KING AND PEOPLE WERE DEPORTED TO BAVEL. THE TEMPLE WAS LOOTED AND BURNED TO THE GROUND, TOGETHER WITH THE PALACE OF THE MELECH. THE WALLS OF THE CITY WERE OVERTHROWN AND THE SUFFERING, CRUELTY AND MASSACRE OF THE PEOPLE WAS, ACCORDING TO HISTORIANS, BEYOND DESCRIPTION.

YAHUDAH RETURNS IN STAGES

THE RETURN OF YAHUDAH TO YAHRUSHALAYIM FROM BAVEL WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN 3 EXPEDITIONS.

THE 1st. ......     536 BCE UNDER ZERUBAVEL, A PRINCE OF YAHUDAH;                                     THE 2ND.  IN ...458 BCE UNDER EZRA THE SCRIBE; AND                                                             THE 3RD.  IN..  444 BCE UNDER NECHEMYAH, A YAH-HUDAH WHO HELD HIGH OFFICE IN THE ROYAL COURT OF PERSIA.

BUT ALTHOUGH THEY RETURNED FROM BAVEL, YAHUDAH WAS STILL SUBJECTED TO FOREIGN RULE AFTER THEIR EXILE FROM ERETZ YISRAEL IN BAVEL HAD ENDED;

FIRST BY THE MEDO-PERSIANS, ENDING IN ...332 BCE,

THEN BY THE GREEKS, ENDING IN ...167 BCE,

AND FINALLY, AFTER A PERIOD OF INDEPENDENCE LASTING AROUND 100 YEARS, THEY WERE THEN SUBJUGATED BY THE ROMANS IN 63 BCE UNTIL THE DESTRUCTION OF YAHRUSHALAYIM AND THE TEMPLE AND THE MASSACRE AND SCATTERING OF THE PEOPLE BY GENERAL TITUS IN 70 CE.

FOR ALMOST 2.000 YEARS SINCE, THE ANCIENT TRIBES OF YISRAEL AND YAHUDAH WERE WITHOUT A HOMELAND, AND THOUGH SCATTERED AMONG THE LE-GOYIM-GENTILES, YAHUDAH UNLIKE THEIR BRETHREN YISRAEL, REMAINED TRUE TO YAHWEH, THE TORAH, SHABBAT AND COVENANTS SUCH AS CIRCUMCISION AND THEIR MOEDS (RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS ( AND OBSERVED THESE IN ALL THE LANDS OF EXILE.

YAHUDAH WANDERED AMONG MANY DIFFERENT NATIONS AND CONTINENTS, AND MOST SADLY, SEVERE AND ALMOST UNRELENTING PERSECUTIONS WERE THEIR LOT WHEREVER THEY WENT. FEW WERE THE NATIONS THAT DID NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL POGROM AGAINST THESE CHILDREN OF AVRAHAM.

THEY SUFFERED HORRENDOUSLY AT THE HANDS OF THE `CHRISTIAN` CHURCH FOR MOST OF THE 2.000 YEARS; WERE BLAMED FOR EVERY KIND OF CATASTROPHE, DISEASE AND EPEDEMIC THAT THEIR HOST NATIONS EXPERIENCED, AND WERE HATED ESPECIALLY BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CULT IN EUROPE EVEN THROUGH TO THE 20th. CENTURY.

OVER SIX MILLION JEWS WERE MURDERED BY NAZI GERMANY DURING THE 2ND WORLD WAR, 1939-45

HOMES WERE TRASHED 

UNTOLD MILLIONS OF YAHUDAH WERE MERCILESSLY EXTERMINATED DOWN THROUGH 20 CENTURIES, CULMINATING IN THE HOLOCAUST, IN LIVING MEMORY, IN NAZI GERMANY, WHERE OVER 6 MILLION OF `THE CHOSEN PEOPLE` WERE MURDERED FOR SIMPLY BEING ``JEWS`.

THEIR ANCIENT LAND OF YISRAEL WAS CONTROLLED IN TURN BY DIFFERENT NATIONS AND GROUPS DURING THOSE 2.000 YEARS:

ROME RULED FROM 63 BCE ... UNTIL 611 CE

PERSIA (IRAN) RULED UNTIL ... 637 CE

ISLAM UNDER SALADIN UNTIL... 1099 CE

CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS UNTIL... 1187 CE

     UNDER ISLAM AGAIN UNTIL ... 1291 CE

   OTTOMAN TURKS RULED `TIL ... 1917 CE

GREAT BRITAIN UNTIL... 1948 CE

THE NATIONAL STATE OF YISRAEL REBORN

AND THEN ....

THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE HAPPENED,

AFTER ALMOST 2.000 YEARS AND AFTER GREAT STRUGGLES,

THE REBIRTH OF THE STATE OF YISRAEL

WAS ANNOUNCED ON MAY 14TH. 1948;

THEN IN 1967, THE REGAINING OF THEIR ANCIENT CAPITAL YAHRUSHALAYIM

AFTER THE MOSLEM WORLD ARMED BY THE SOVIET UNION,

LAUNCHED A FEROCIOUS ATTACK UPON THE TINY NATION OF YISRAEL

 IN ORDER TO `DRIVE THEM INTO THE SEA`

BUT THE MILLENNIA OLD PROPHECIES OF THE HEBREW PROPHET YECHEZKEL WAS AT LONG LAST COMING TO PASS, AS DECLARED IN HIS SCROLL, CH.37 vs. 12-14

THUS SAYS THE MASTER YAHWEH;

 "SEE O MY PEOPLE, I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES, AND CAUSE YOU TO COME UP OUT OF YOUR GRAVES, AND BRING YOU INTO THE LAND OF YISRAEL. AND YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM YAHWEH, WHEN I HAVE OPENED YOUR GRAVES, O MY PEOPLE, AND BROUGHT YOU UP OUT OF YOUR GRAVES, AND SHALL PUT MY RUACH HAKODESH IN YOU, AND YOU SHALL LIVE, AND I SHALL PLACE YOU IN YOUR OWN LAND; THEN SHALL YOU KNOW THAT I, YAHWEH, HAVE SPOKEN IT AND PERFORMED IT,"...

 SAYS YAHWEH.

THEIR GRAVES WERE THE NATIONS TO WHICH THEY WERE EXILED AND AFTER THOUSANDS OF YEARS THEY `AROSE`.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PERSECUTION IN THE 21ST. CENTURY IS AS UNRELENTING AS EVER AS NOT ONLY THE MOSLEM MIDDLE-EAST DAILY CALL FOR THEIR EXTERMINATION, BUT EVEN EUROPEAN NATIONS, AIDED BY THE UNITED NATIONS, VENT THEIR ANTI-YAHUDAH VENOM AS IF THEY LEARNED NOTHING FROM THE HORRORS OF NAZI GERMANY, AND EVEN T.V. BROADCASTING COMPANIES SUCH AS THE BBC, AL - JAZEERA AND PRESS TV ARE REGULARLY CONSIDERED BY MEDIA-WATCHERS TO BE GROSSLY ANTI-SEMITIC (Jew-Hatred) AND DEEPLY OFFENSIVE TOWARDS JEWS AND BIASED IN THEIR MIDDLE-EAST NEWS COVERAGE, AND ALONG WITH THESE ANTISEMITIC (Jew-Hatred) MEDIA OUTLETS WE ALSO FIND THE `GLASGOW GALLERY OF MODERN ART`... AT ROYAL EXCHANGE SQUARE, IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND DISPLAYING ASTONISHING HATRED OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THEIR FAITH BY DISPLAYING THE TORAH IN A DISPARAGING MANNER AND INVITING THE PUBLIC TO WRITE ACROSS IT`S SACRED PAGES... WHICH SOME HAVE DONE, LEAVING OBSCENE MESSAGES ON THE PAGES OF HOLY WRIT...AND NOT CONTENT WITH THAT, THIS GLASGOW ART GALLERY HAS EVEN ALLOWED SUCH HATRED TOWARDS THE JEWISH HOLY BOOK TO BE EXPRESSED BY PERMITTING IT`S PAGES TO BE TORN OUT AND THROWN TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO BE TRODDEN ON. A VIDEO IS ALSO SHOWN WITH FILTHY ACTS OF DESECRATION BY A WOMAN MADE UPON THE TORAH.

 MOST OF THE MESSAGES SCRAWLED ACROSS THE TORAH ARE SO FILTHY AND VILE AS TO BE UNPRINTABLE ON THIS WEBSITE.

BELOW WE SHOW THE PUBLIC HATRED FOR THE JEWISH HOLY TORAH THAT GLASGOW HAS PERMITTED

AND THEN APPARENTLY EMBOLDENED BY GETTING AWAY ` SCOT-FREE` WITH THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM AND HATRED FOR THE JEWISH TORAH IN JULY OF 2009, GLASGOW AGAIN HOSTED ANOTHER JEWISH-HATE PROGRAMME BARELY 4 MONTHS LATER AT THEIR `TRON THEATRE`.

THEY MOCKED THE JEWISH MESSIAH, RABBI YAH`SHUA HAMOSHIACH BY PUTTING ON A ONE MAN PLAY WRITTEN AND ACTED BY A JOHN STEVEN WHO DRESSED IN A WOMAN`S FROCK AND ATTEMPTED TO PORTRAY RABBI YAH`SHUA AS, NOT THE KING, BUT A TRANSEXUAL QUEEN OF HEAVEN.

RABBI YAH`SHUA WHO WAS A STRICT TORAH-OBSERVANT JEW WAS AWARE THAT TORAH FORBIDS MEN WEARING THE CLOTHING OF WOMEN.

APPARENTLY THE WRITER OF THIS PLAY IS NOT AWARE.

IN AN ASIDE, JOHN STEVEN THREW ANOTHER PUNCH AT JEWRY AND SAID THAT THE JEWISH PRIESTS AND PHARISEES OF RABBI YAH`SHUA`S TIME WERE DEEPLY PREJUDICED HYPOCRITES.

HE THEN WENT ON TO MAKE THE REMARKABLE STATEMENT THAT HE WAS A COMMITTED CHRISTIAN.

COMMITTED TO WHAT? ONE WONDERS.

THE CO-HELPER FOR THIS WORK OF ANTISEMITISM AND BLASPHEMY IS A STEVEN THOMSON.

BELOW WE SHOW FURTHER ATTACKS ON THE TORAH WHICH WERE MADE BY GLASGOW ART GALLERY......

A DEEP FRIED COPY OF THE TORAH IN BATTER!!! ...

AND IN MARCH 2010 GLASGOW CITY POLICE ARRESTED, THREW IN JAIL AND HAD A SHERIFF, A JUDGE RITA RAE BY NAME, FINE A STREET-PREACHER  £1.000 ($1600) FOR QUOTING FROM THE JEWISH TORAH HOLY BOOK.
ASTONISHINGLY, IN ALL THE ABOVE DEVELOPEMENTS, NO ONE BUT THE STREET PREACHER WAS ARRESTED AND FINED £1.000

APPARENTLY IT`S ACCEPTABLE AND LEGAL TO MOCK THE JEWISH FAITH IN SCOTLAND BUT UNLAWFUL TO PREACH FROM THEIR HOLY BOOK

Since the U.K. has now become a part of the European Union (Under the `Treaty of Rome 1957` which Union, of course is administered by Roman Catholicism at it`s heart) it is no wonder that such arrests are being made, for in the former Roman Catholic Roman Empire this Edict was passed by Emperor Theodosius in 388 CE:

Theodosian Code: IV, 2. "There shall be no opportunity for any man to go out to the public and to argue about religion or to discuss it or to give any counsel. If any person hereafter, with flagrant and damnable audacity, should suppose that he may contravene any law of this kind or if he should dare to persist in his action of ruinous obstinacy, he shall be restrained with a due penalty and proper punishment (16 June 388 CE)"

AND, OF COURSE, ROME`S AVOWED DECLARATION IS THAT

`SHE NEVER CHANGES`

IRONICALLY, GLASGOW CITY`S MOTTO AT ONE TIME WAS

"LET GLASGOW FLOURISH BY THE PREACHING OF THE WORD AND THE PRAISING OF HIS NAME"

ONE WONDERS WHAT HER FORMER CITIZENS WHO TOOK JOY IN THAT MOTTO WOULD THINK NOW OF HER `ILLUSTRIOUS` SONS AND DAUGHTERS?

IRONICALLY, IF THE JEWISH JOHN THE BAPTIST, JESUS CHRIST, SAINT PETER OR THE APOSTLE PAUL (WHO WERE ALL STREET--PREACHERS) WERE TO PREACH FROM THEIR HOLY BOOK... THE SELFSAME TORAH... IN THE STREETS OF GLASGOW TODAY, UNDOUBTEDLY, THEY TOO WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE STREET-PREACHER.

IRONICALLY, SCOTLAND IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW NATIONS UPON EARTH IN WHICH THERE HAS NEVER BEEN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT POGROMS OR PERSECUTIONS MADE AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

AND THE SCOTTISH PEOPLE ON THE WHOLE HAVE ALWAYS MADE THE JEWISH PEOPLE WELCOME IN THEIR NATION THROUGHOUT THE PAST 2.000 YEARS EVEN THOUGH ENGLAND HER SISTER NATION SEVERELY PERSECUTED AND HELD OFFICIAL POGROMS AGAINST YAHWEH`S CHOSEN RACE, INSOMUCH THAT THOUSANDS OF JEWS WERE DRIVEN OUT OF ENGLAND WHEN THE ROMISH RELIGION HELD SWAY DURING THE REIGN OF KING EDWARD 1st IN 1290.

THEY WERE FIRST FORCED TO WEAR A YELLOW PATCH ON THEIR OUTER GARMENTS, THEN OVER 300 JEWISH MEN WERE TAKEN TO AND EXECUTED IN THE TOWER OF LONDON WHILE MANY WERE MURDERED IN THEIR OWN HOMES AND THOUSANDS BANISHED FROM ENGLAND AND ALL THEIR PROPERTY AND BELONGINGS CONFISCATED AND WERE NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN UNTIL 366 YEARS LATER IN 1656 WHEN OFFICIAL PERMISSION WAS GIVEN BY THE GODLY OLIVER CROMWELL, THE PROTECTORATE OF ENGLAND TO RABBI MANASSEH BEN ISRAEL OF AMSTERDAM, PERMITTING THE RETURN OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO ENGLAND.

THE EXHIBIT IN THE GLASGOW GALLERY OF MODERN ART IS THE WORK OF CANADIAN, ANTHONY SCHRAG (AN ATHIEST) AND DAVID MALONE IN ASSOCIATION WITH ORGANISATIONS REPRESENTING MOSLEM GROUPS AND THE MCC (GAY CHRISTIAN CHURCH..AN ORGANISATION FOUNDED IN CALIFORNIA, USA, IN OCTOBER 1968) WHICH HELPED FUND THE VILE EXHIBIT.

THAT PROBABLY EXPLAINS SUCH UNUSUAL ANTISEMITIC HATRED IN SCOTLAND.

Tzion stands by hills surrounded,  Tzion, kept by Power Divine;                       All her foes shall be confounded,                                                                              Though the world in arms combine;                                                                                  Happy Tzion, what a favored lot is thine!                                                                Happy Tzion, what a favored lot is thine

Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove;                    Mothers cease their own to cherish;                                                                       Heavn and earth at last remove;                                                                                          But no changes can attend Yahuwehs love,                                                                But no changes can attend Yahuwehs love.

IN THE FURNACE EL MAY PROVE THEE,                                                                            THENCE TO BRING THEE FORTH MORE BRIGHT,                                                                    BUT CAN NEVER CEASE TO LOVE THEE,                                                                                       THOU ART PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT,                                                                                               YAH IS WITH THEE, YAH THINE EVERLASTING LIGHT,                                                                  YAH IS WITH THEE, YAH THINE EVERLASTING LIGHT!!

HAVING LINGERED A LITTLE ON THE FATE OF YAHUDAH LET US AGAIN RETURN TO EPHRAIM YISRAEL WHO HAD GONE INTO EXILE BEFORE THEM.......

THE `LOST` 10 TRIBES OF YISRAEL

`THE CHILDREN OF YISRAEL TO BECOME GOYIM/GENTILE NATIONS SO THAT THE WHOLE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED THROUGH THEM`

HISTORIANS TELL US THAT THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF YISRAEL (10 TRIBES) BECAME SO ASSIMILATED AMONGST THE NATIONS TO WHICH THEY WERE EXILED AND DISPERSED IN 721 BCE, THAT THERE REMAINS NO TRACE OF THEM WHATEVER.

HISTORIANS, BOTH SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS HAVE FOR MANY, MANY CENTURIES PUZZLED OVER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TEN NORTHERN TRIBES OF YISRAEL.

WE ARE FULLY AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO YAHUDAH (THE 2 TRIBES); BUT AS REGARDS THE OTHER 10 TRIBES, LEGENDS AND MYTHS ABOUND EVEN TODAY, AS TO THEIR WHEREABOUTS AND FATE, AND YET EVEN IN THE TIME OF THE EARTHLY MINISTRY OF YA`SHUA HAMOSHIACH, OVER 720 YEARS AFTER YISRAEL WERE SUBJUGATED AND DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, THEIR WHEREABOUTS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN KNOWN.

EVEN YAH`SHUA SAID,

"I AM NOT SENT EXCEPT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF YISRAEL."
AND THE BIBLICAL RECORD IS THAT HE SPENT MUCH OF HIS TIME AMONG THE SAMARITANS AND IN GALILEE OF THE GENTILES.

AND IN THE BOOK OF YAH`ACOB CH 1:1, WE READ THESE WORDS,

 "YA`ACOB, AN EVED OF YAHWEH AND THE MASTER YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH, TO THE 12 TRIBES WHO ARE SCATTERED ABROAD IN THE GALUT (DIASPORA), SHALOM."

EVIDENTLY, YAH`ACOB KNEW WHERE THESE 12 TRIBES WERE, OTHERWISE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WRITE TO THEM.

AND SIMILARLY, KEPHA IN HIS EPISTLE WRITES,

"SHIMON KEPHA, A SHOLIACH OF YAH`SHUA HAMOSHIACH TO THE PILGRIMS OF THE GALUT (DIASPORA) IN PONTUS, GALUT-YAH, KAPPADOKIA, ASIA AND BITHUNIA."

 1 KEPHA 1:1.

HERE, LIKE YA`ACOB, KEPHAS IS WRITING TO THE TRIBES IN EXILE, YET KEPHA`S EPISTLE WAS WRITTEN AROUND 20 YEARS PRIOR TO THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE AND THE DRIVING OUT OF YAHUDAH IN 70 CE.

MORE SIGNIFICANTLY, HE KNOWS THAT THESE 12 TRIBES ARE IN DIASPORA, YET IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE YAHUDAH (JEWISH) DIASPORA SINCE THAT DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL 70 CE,

SO, IT SEEMS THAT YAH`SHUA, HIS BROTHER YAH`ACOB AND KEPHA ALL WERE AWARE OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE LOST" 10 TRIBES OF THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF YISRAEL.

AMAZING PROPHECIES GIVEN BY YECHEZKEL

EVEN IN THE MIDST OF THE DIRE WARNINGS THAT YAHWEH GAVE TO HIS ANCIENT PEOPLE, OF THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF YISRAEL, HE ALSO PROMISED THAT HE WOULD NOT MAKE A FULL END OF THEM AND EVEN THOUGH THEY WOULD BECOME `THE DISPERSED` , YET AT THE END OF THE AGES, WHEN THE MOSHIACH WAS TO APPEAR, HE WOULD CAUSE YISRAEL, THE WHOLE HOUSE, OF 12 TRIBES, TO RETURN FROM THEIR GRAVES.

100 YEARS AFTER YISRAEL`S DISPERSION BY THE ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, ELOHIM RAISED UP A PROPHET IN YAHUDAH, YECHEZKEL BY NAME, WHO DECLARED THAT YAHUWEH WOULD ONE DAY BRING DISPERSED YISRAEL AND EXILED YAHUDAH BACK INTO ERETZ YISRAEL AT THE END OF DAYS, (YECHEZKEL CHS :37 VS.15-28) AND YAHUWEH WOULD AT THAT TIME JOIN THE TWO NATIONS TOGETHER AGAIN AS ONE PEOPLE AND ONE KINGDOM UNDER DAVID THEIR MELECH.

ALL SCHOLARS OF THE KEETVAY HAKADOSH BELIEVE THAT WE NOW LIVE IN THE PROPHESIED TIME OF THE END OF DAYS.

 YAHUDAH HAS RETURNED AND IS RETURNING TO ERETZ YISRAEL BUT WHAT OF YISRAEL THE TEN TRIBES, WHERE IS HE, AND IS THERE ANY `SIGNS` OF HIS RETURN??

TO DISCOVER YISRAEL`S FATE LET US GO BACK IN TIME TO AVRAHAM.

A WONDERFUL AND ASTONISHING PROMISE AND PROPHECY GIVEN TO AVRAHAM AND TO SARAH:

IN BERESHEITH CHAPTER 15, WE FIND A MOST WONDER FUL AND GLORIOUS PICTURE OF A DEEP FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS ELOHIM.

IT SEEMS, BY THE UNFOLDING OF THIS BEAUTIFUL STORY, THAT THIS DEEP FRIENDSHIP HAS BEEN CULTIVATED AND NOURISHED ON BOTH SIDES OVER MANY LONG YEARS, AS AVRAM, THE CHILDLESS MAN IN THE STORY, REVEALS BY HIS WORDS OF APPARENT FAMILIARITY, A DEEP BOND OF CLOSENESS WITH HIS ELOHIM.

THE STORY IS SO PERSONAL AND INTIMATE THAT IT FEELS ALMOST SACRILEGE TO LISTEN IN TO SUCH SACRED CONVERSATION BETWEEN THEM;

A MOST STAGGERING PROMISE IS MADE TO THE MAN BY HIS ELOHIM THAT ALTHOUGH BEING A VERY OLD MAN AND WITHOUT AN HEIR, HE WOULD NEVERTHELESS HAVE AN INNUMERABLE OFFSPRING SO VAST, AS TO BE MORE IN NUMBER THAN THE VISIBLE STARS IN THE SKY, AND THAT THIS OFFSPRING OF HIS WOULD BE IN SERVITUDE TO A FOREIGN NATION FOR 400 YEARS BUT WOULD AFTERWARDS BE FREED, AND THEN IN DUE TIME POPULATE THE WHOLE PLANET!

A SPECIAL COVENANT BETWEEN THE MAN AND HIS ELOHIM IS ALSO MADE THAT DAY AS A SIGN THAT THE PROMISE OF THE OFFSPRING AND IT`S RELATED PROPHECY OF THEIR SERVITUDE WILL BE FULFILLED IN IT`S DUE TIME.

THEN AGAIN, SOME YEARS LATER, AS RECORDED IN BERESHEIT CH. 17 vs.2... YAHUWEH APPEARS TO AVRAM WHEN HE IS 99 YEARS OLD, DECLARING THAT HE, YAHUWEH, WAS ESTABLISHING A SPECIAL COVENANT BETWEEN AVRAM AND YAHUWEH AND THAT YAHUWEH WOULD `MULTIPLY YOU EXCEEDINGLY` AVRAM FALLS IN WORSHIP BEFORE YAHUWEH, AND YAHUWEH AGAIN PRONOUNCES :

Verse 4:
"ANI HINE BERITA EETACH VEHAYITA LEAV HAMON GOYIM "
"AS FOR ME, HERE IS MY COVENANT WITH YOU, YOU SHALL BE THE ABBA OF MANY GENTILES (NATIONS)."

THIS ASTONISHING PROPHECY UTTERED BY YAHUWEH TO AVARAHAM IS SO OFTEN READ OVER SO QUICKLY, AND SEEMINGLY, NO THOUGHT GIVEN TO IT`S AMAZING DEPTH.

YAH`WEH, WHO BEING ELOHIM IS IN A POSITION THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO MAKE COVENANTS WITH HIS CREATION, NEVERTHELESS, DECLARES HIMSELF A COVENANT-MAKING ELOHIM TO AVRAHAM.

THAT IS, THAT HE THE ELOHIM OF CREATION IS ENTERING INTO A PACT, A CONTRACT, A CONCORDAT WITH ONE OF HIS CREATION; AND THAT THE FIRST BENEFIT THAT AVRAHAM WILL RECEIVE IN THIS CONCORDAT IS FATHERHOOD, BUT NOT JUST ORDINARY `FATHERHOOD` FOR HE HAD ALREADY FATHERED YAHUSHMA-EL (Y`ISHMAEL) THROUGH HIS BONDWOMAN HAGAR;

THE BENEFIT IS THAT HE IS TO BE THE FATHER OF NOT JUST A FAMILY BUT RATHER A NATION, BUT NOT JUST ONE OR EVEN TWO NATIONS, BUT A FAMILY OF MANY NATIONS;

BUT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AND OUTSTANDING PART OF THIS PROPHECY IS THE WORDING `GOYIM` SINCE IT REFERS TO WHAT WE KNOW AS GENTILE, NON-JEWISH PEOPLES.

THUS WE SEE THAT YAHUWEH IS PROMISING TO AVRAHAM THAT A MULTITUDE OF GENTILE NATIONS WOULD OWN AVRAHAM AS THEIR FATHER.

NOW, OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT YAHUDAH IS ONLY ONE NATION , YET HERE YAHWEH SAYS THAT HE, AVRAHAM WILL BE ABBA OF MANY GENTILE NATIONS.

AVRAM`S NAME CHANGED

Verse 5:
"VELO YIKARE OD ET-SHIMCHA AVRAM VEHAYA SHIMCHA AVRAHAM KI AV HAMON GOYIM N`TATICHA" 
"NEITHER SHALL YOUR NAME ANYMORE BE CALLED AVRAM, BUT YOUR NAME SHALL BE AVRAHAM; FOR THE ABBA OF MANY GOYIM/NATIONS I HAVE MADE YOU."

NOW YAHUWEH CHANGES AVRAM`S NAME, TO AVRAHAM.

IN THE CHANGING OF THE NAME THE HEBREW LETTER `HEY` (THE 2nd LETTER OF THE TETRAGRAMMATON YHWH) WHICH SIGNIFIES THE `BREATH OF YAHWEH` (AND IS ALSO AN ABBREVIATION FOR THE SACRED NAME `YAH`WEH`) IS ADDED TO THE INNER PART OF AVRAM`S NAME THUS SHOWING THAT AVRAHAM THROUGH HIS FAITH IN YAHWEH HAS RECEIVED THE BREATH OR RUACH OF YAH`WEH INTO HIS INNER BEING AND HAS THUS BECOME A PARTAKER OF THE NEW BIRTH.

(See Torah Lishmah, She-elah Taw Kaf Geemal)

THIS `BREATH OF YAHWEH` NOW BREATHED INTO AVRAHAM`S LIFE WILL ALSO BREATHE LIFE INTO AVRAHAM`S SEED

ANOTHER REASON FOR THE NAME-CHANGE IS THAT AVRAHAM ALSO MEANS KINGLY FATHER OF POPULATIONS AS OPPOSED TO AVRAM MEANING, CHIEF/GREAT FATHER, AND SO AN ELEVATION IS MADE TO REFLECT HIS NEW AND GREATER STATUS, AND THEN YAHUWEH STRESSES THE FACT THAT HIS DESCENDANTS WOULD BE GOYIM/GENTILES BUT NOTICE AN AMAZINGLY STRANGE THING, FOR IN THE LAST CLAUSE OF THIS SENTENCE, AVRAHAM IN THE MIND OF ELOHIM IS ALREADY A FATHER OF MANY GENTILES!

NOTICE THE WORDING IN THE FINAL CLAUSE OF THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE IS IN PAST TENSE, 

"I HAVE MADE YOU"!!

AVRAHAM TO `FATHER` KINGS!

VERSE 6:
"VEHI-FRETI OTCHA BIME`OD ME`OD UNETATICHA LEGOYIM UMELACHIM MIMCHA YETZE`U" 

"I WILL MAKE YOU MOST EXCEEDINGLY FRUITFUL, AND MAKE GENTILES (NATIONS) OF YOU - AND KINGS SHALL DESCEND FROM YOU."

NEXT, YAHUWEH THEN BROADENS THE BENEFIT TO AVRAHAM BY DECLARING THAT AVRAHAM WOULD BE MOST EXCEEDINGLY FRUITFUL WITH GENTILE DESCENDANTS AND KINGS.

 `MOST EXCEEDINGLY FRUITFUL` WOULD SURELY REFER TO MORE THAN JUST ONE NATION AS THE CONTEXT CLEARLY IMPLIES IT, FOR AGAIN YAHUWEH ELOHIM AFFIRMS THAT AVRAHAMS DESCENDANTS WOULD INCLUDE LE-GOYIM - GENTILES NATIONS.

GOYIM/GENTILE NATIONS INCLUDED IN THE COVENANT OF ABRAHAM

Verse 7
"VAHAKIMOTI ET BERITI BEINI OOVENECHA OOVEIN ZARACHA ACHARECHA LEDORATAH LIVRIT OLAM LINIYOT LECHA LE`ELOHIM OOLZARACHA ACHARECHA" 

"AND I WILL ESTABLISH MY BRIT (COVENANT) BETWEEN MY WORD AND YOU, AND YOUR ZERA (SEED) AFTER YOU IN THEIR GENERATIONS AS AN EVERLASTING BRIT, TO BE AN ELOHIM TO YOU, AND TO YOUR ZERA AFTER YOU."

NOW THE TRULY WONDERFUL THING ABOUT THIS CONCORDAT THAT YAHUWEH MAKES WITH AVRAHAM IS THAT THIS BRIT IS NOW DEEPENED AND EXTENDED TO INCLUDE YAHUWEH AND HIS WORD

 (IS THIS THE POINT WHEN ALL FUTURE, GENTILE, YAH`SHUA BELIEVING BLOOD-WASHED TALMIDIM ARE CONNECTED TO THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT ?).. ..

AND IS THIS THE MOMENT YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH, THE WORD AND LIVING TORAH OF YAHUWEH, WAS REFERRING TO WHEN HE SAID,

"AVRAHAM SAW MY DAY AND WAS GLAD." ?

AS DECLARED IN VERSE 7 OF THIS 17th CHAPTER 

"MY WORD (LIVING TORAH) AND YOU."

ALSO YAHUWEH GLORIOUSLY EXTENDS THE COVENANT TO INCLUDE AVRAHAM`S IMMEDIATE ZERA (SEED) AND ALSO HIS SEED IN THE GENERATIONS TO COME ...IE

THIS COVENANT WAS TO INCLUDE ALL AVRAHAM`S DESCENDANTS THROUGH YAH`SAC (YITZCHAK) PERPETUALLY, UNENDING FOREVER, LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

AN EVERLASTING BRIT/COVENANT WITH GOYIM/GENTILE NATIONS, PHYSICALLY BORN FROM AVRAHAM AS WELL AS WITH YAHUDAH YET TO BE BORN.

AND NOW YAHUWEH DECLARES TO AVRAHAM THAT HE IS ALSO THE ELOHIM OF AVRAHAM`S OFFSPRING AS WELL AS AVRAHAM`S ELOAH.

IN OTHER WORDS YAHWEH ELOHIM IS COMMITTING HIMSELF TO BE THE ETERNAL PROTECTOR AND SUPPLIER TO ALL THE ZERA OF AVRAHAM THROUGH YAH`SAC,

 LE-OLAM-VA-ED, THAT IS, THOSE GOYIM DESCENDED FROM AVRAHAM, YAHUDAH, AND THE GERIM PURCHASED BY AVRAHAM AND HIS ZERA WHO ENTER BRIT-MALAH AND SHOMER THE BRIT.

AND NOTE ALSO THE WONDROUS UNFOLDING OF PROMISE: YAHUWEH IS NOT ONLY AT THIS POINT REFERRING TO AVRAHAM AS BEING A `SPIRITUAL` FATHER OF THE GENTILES (IE. THROUGH YAHUSHUA) BUT AS A PHYSICAL, HUMAN FATHER (IE. HIS ZERA/SPERMA) OF THE GOYIM/GENTILES.

 AND NOW YAHUWEH REVEALS TO AVARAHAM WHAT AVRAHAM`S INITIAL PART IS IN THE COVENANT.

BERESHEITH CH. 17: 10-14

"ZOT BERITI ASHER TISHMERU BEINI UVEINECHER UVEIN ZARACHA ACHARECHA HIMOL LACHEM KOL ZACHAR." 

"THIS IS MY BRIT THAT YOU SHALL KEEP, BETWEEN ME AND YOU AND YOUR ZERA AFTER YOU. EVERY MALE CHILD AMONG YOU SHALL ENTER BRIT-MILAH (CIRCUMCISION)."

THE BLOOD COVENANT

(IT`S MEANINGS AND TERMS)

THE BLOOD COVENANT WAS FIRST ESTABLISHED WITH MAN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN WHEN ELOHIM SLEW AN ANIMAL IN ORDER TO COVER (HEBREW: KAFFAR `TO COVER`) THE NAKEDNESS OF THE MAN AND HIS WIFE AFTER THEY HAD SINNED

(BERESHEITH CH. 1)

 IT IS CERTAINLY APPARENT THAT YAHWEH ELOHIM `CUT` THE COVENANT WITH AHDAHM AT THAT TIME.
ONE HAD TO DIE IN ORDER THAT ANOTHER COULD LIVE. BLOOD (THE LIFE) WAS SHED ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER AND MOST PROBABLY A LAMB WAS SACRIFICED BECAUSE OF, AND FOR THE ISH AND HIS ISHA.

AHDAHM`S SON HEVEL CERTAINLY WAS AWARE OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE OF A BLOOD SACRIFICE AS BERESHEITH CH.4 INFORMS US THAT WHEN HE AND HIS BROTHER QAYIN BROUGHT THEIR `OFFERINGS` TO YAHWEH, HEVEL BROUGHT AN OFFERING OF THE BECHEROT OF HIS FLOCK AND YAHWEH HAD RESPECT FOR HEVEL`S OFFERING, WHEREAS QAYIN BROUGHT PRODUCE FROM HIS LABOURS..IE..THE FRUIT OF THE GROUND AND YAHWEH DID NOT HAVE RESPECT TOWARDS QAYIN`S OFFERING.

THE QUESTION NEEDS TO BE ASKED AT THIS JUNCTURE, "WHY DID ELOHIM NOT HAVE RESPECT TOWARDS QAYIN`S OFFERING?"

WAS IT BECAUSE IT REPRESENTED THE LABOUR OF HIS HANDS?....

NOT ENTIRELY, FOR GRAIN OFFERINGS WERE AN ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE AS WELL AS THE BECHEROT OF THE FLOCK.. AS WE READ IN WAYIQRA CH. 2:

 "AND WHEN ANY WILL OFFER A GRAIN OFFERING TO YAHWEH, HIS OFFERING SHALL BE OF FINE FLOUR; AND HE SHALL POUR OIL UPON IT, AND PUT FRANKINCENSE ON IT: AND HE SHALL BRING IT TO AHARON`S SONS THE KOHANIM: AND HE SHALL TAKE FROM IT HIS HANDFUL OF THE FLOUR OF IT, AND OF THE OIL OF IT, WITH ALL THE FRANKINCENCE OF IT ; AND THE KOHEN SHALL BURN THE REMEMBRANCE PORTION OF IT UPON THE ALTER, TO BE AN OFFERING MADE BY FIRE, OF A SWEET FRAGRANCE TO YAHUWEH: AND THE REMNANT OF THE GRAIN OFFERING SHALL BE AHARON`S AND HIS SONS; IT IS A THING MOST HOLY OF THE OFFERINGS OF YAHUWEH MADE BY FIRE".

SO WE CAN SEE THAT OFFERINGS FROM THE SOIL ARE A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE OFFERING TO YAHUWEH...BUT OF COURSE DIFFERENT OFFERINGS ARE REQUIRED AT DIFFERENT TIMES FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, AND IT MAY BE THAT ALTHOUGH QAYIN`S OFFERING MAY HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE AT ANOTHER TIME AND MOED, IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AT THIS PARTICULAR MOED...

BUT ALSO WE CAN NOTE FROM THE ABOVE VERSES THAT THE KOHEN HAD TO BURN A CERTAIN PART OF THE OFFERING BEFORE RECEIVING THE REST FOR THEMSELVES...AND IT MAY BE THAT QAYIN RESENTED WHAT HE MAY HAVE PERCEIVED AS `WASTAGE OF FOOD` BY BURNING IT.

 IN OTHER WORDS, HE DID NOT GIVE WITH A GLAD AND JOYOUS HEART...HE MAY HAVE GIVEN GRUDGINGLY, BUT "ELOHIM LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER" ...

AND WE ALSO NOTE THAT `QAYIN WAS VERY ANGRY AND HIS FACE DISPLAYED HATE`... SO WHATEVER HIS REASON, QAYIN`S ATTITUDE AND HEART WAS NOT RIGHT AND SO BEING IN A BACKSLIDDEN STATE HE WAS NOT FIT TO BRING ANY OFFERING IN THE FIRST PLACE....OR RATHER HE WAS A PRIME CASE FOR NEEDING TO MAKE AN OFFERING FOR ATONEMENT BUT IT WAS NOT SO MUCH THE OFFERING THAT WAS AT FAULT BUT THE UNSUBMISSIVE ATTITUDE OF THE HEART AND BEHAVIOUR OF THE GIVER.

 CONTRAST THIS WITH THE ATTITUDE OF AVRAHAM WHOM WE SEE BROUGHT DEEP JOY AND PLEASURE TO THE HEART OF HIS ELOHIM BY HIS ABSOLUTE AND WILLING OBEDIENCE. THUS, WHETHER WE BRING A GRAIN OR BURNT (FLESH) OFFERING TO YAHWEH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE OFFERING IS THE ATTITUDE OF A LOVING, WILLING, GENEROUS AND CHEERFUL HEART.

YAHUSHUA WAS BOTH OUR GRAIN AND BURNED OFFERING POURED OUT FOR US AND HIS ATTITUDE WAS ALWAYS THAT OF A FULLY SUBMISSIVE, LOVING AND GIVING SPIRIT. THUS A PATTERN HAD ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED BETWEEN YAHUWEH ELOHIM AND HIS CREATION IN GAN AYDEN AS REGARDS

 `RELATIONSHIPS AND OFFERINGS` WITH YAHWEH`.

IT IS ALSO RECOGNISEABLE THAT AVRAHAM KNEW WHAT THE TERMS OF CUTTING THE COVENANT WITH YAHUWEH WERE AS THEIR GENEOLOGY CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ADHAM WAS CONTEMPORARY WITH LAMECH THE FATHER OF NOAH, LAMECH WAS CONTEMPORARY WITH SHEM THE SON OF NOAH AND SHEM WAS CONTEMPORARY WITH AVRAHAM.

THEY THEREFORE WERE FULLY AWARE OF AND HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOLEMN COVENANTS ELOHIM MADE WITH EACH AS THEIR LIVES OVERLAPPED THE OTHER...IE

AHDAHM KNEW LAMECH,

LAMECH KNEW SHEM,

SHEM KNEW AVRAHAM..

ONE CAN ALSO SEE HOW EASILY THE HAPPENINGS IN THE GAN AYDEN (Garden Of Eden) COULD PERFECTLY BE TOLD WITHOUT ERROR AS

THESE 4 GREAT PATRIARCHS

WOULD ORALLY COMMUNICATE THE EVENTS WITHOUT EVEN THE NEED TO WRITE THEM DOWN AS

EACH KNEW THE SUCCEEDING PATRIARCH PERSONALLY

SINCE THEY EACH LIVED SUCH LONG LIVES.

(THE MOST WONDERFUL AND AMAZING POINT TO RECOGNISE IN THIS IS THAT AHDAHM DIED AFTER NOAH`S FATHER LAMECH WAS BORN. AND THIS IS TRULY AMAZING WHEN WE REALIZE THAT LAMECH, NOAH`S FATHER WAS AHDAHM`S...... WAIT FOR IT .....

GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDSON,

AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT ...

NOT ONE OF THE LINE OF DIRECT NINE GENERATIONS FROM AHDAHM TO LAMECH HAD YET DIED, ALL WERE YET ALIVE WHEN LAMECH WAS BORN...

AND AS WE NOTED LAMECH KNEW SHEM AND SHEM KNEW AVRAHAM.)

AND FROM THE CREATION OF AHDAHM TO THE BIRTH OF AVRAHAM THERE WAS AN AWESOME SPAN OF 2000 YEARS.

SO ONE CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE EVENTS OF CREATION AND HAPPENINGS IN THE GAN AYDEN COULD BE SO EASILY TRANSMITTED TO THE SUCCEEDING GENERATION WITHOUT THE ACCOUNTS OF THE EVENTS BECOMING ERRONEOUS.

THIS HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THE VERACITY OF HOLY WRIT.

 BRIT-MALAH: THE SEAL OF THE COVENANT

IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO CUTTING THE COVENANT WITH YAHWEH, AVRAM AND SARAI HAD THEIR NAME CHANGED BY YAHWEH ELOHIM AND THEY WERE ELEVATED TO ROYAL STATUS AS WE HAVE EARLIER SEEN WITH AVRAHAM AND AS WE SHALL LATER SEE WITH SARAI.

THIS COVENANT WHICH AVRAHAM ENTERED INTO WITH HIS ELOHIM YAHWEH IS A MOST WONDROUS AND LEGAL DEED THAT ONCE SEALED WITH THE BLOOD OF AVRAHAM AND HIS SEED AND THE BLOOD OF THE ANIMAL THAT YAHWEH HAD SAID TO AVRAHAM TAKE FOR ME AN ANIMAL AND SLAY IT WAS A LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT ENSURED AN UNLIMITED AND ETERNAL RELATIONSHIP AND TIE BETWEEN AVRAHAM, HIS SEED AND YAHWEH ELOHIM FOR AS LONG AS THE COVENANT WAS OBSERVED BY AVRAHAM AND HIS SEED THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS.

YAHWEH SOLEMNLY CONSIDERED IT AN ETERNAL (LE-OLAM-VA-ED) COVENANT.

AVRAHAM TOOK THE ANIMAL THAT YAHWEH HAD CHOSEN AS YAHWEH`S SUBSTITUTE AND AVRAHAM SHED IT`S BLOOD. AVRAHAM, BEING 99 YEARS OLD, THEN ENTERED INTO THIS MOST SOLEMN OF COVENANTS (SINCE THE LIFE FORCE IS IN THE BLOOD AND IT WAS AN AWESOME AND NO LIGHT THING IN YAHWEH`S SIGHT TO SHED BLOOD) AND AVRAHAM PERFORMED CIRCUMCISION ON HIMSELF AND HIS BLOOD WAS MINGLED WITH THE BLOOD OF THE NEWLY SLAIN SUBSTITUTE.

THIS WAS A MOST SOLEMN COVENANT OF LIFE AND DEATH.

THIS MOST HOLY AND AWESOME ACT WAS DECLARING THAT THE BLOOD OF YAHWEH`S SUBSTITUTE AND THE BLOOD OF AVRAHAM WERE FOREVER INTERMINGLED AND THAT YAHWEH AND AVRAHAM`S BONDS AND TIES WERE NOW ETERNALLY INDISSOLUBLE;

THEIR VERY LIFE-FORCES WERE ONE IN A MOST HOLY AND SACRED WAY AND THAT ALL THAT BELONGED TO YAHUWEH ELOHIM WAS NOW AVRAHAM`S BY LEGAL RIGHT AND ALL THAT AVRAHAM HAD AND OWNED NOW BELONGED TO YAHUWH ELOHIM BY LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT EACH OWED THE OTHER ABSOLUTE AND TOTAL LOYALTY AND COMMITTMENT IN ALL THINGS;

AND WHEN YAH`SAC, THE SON OF THE COVENANT WAS BORN AND THEN CIRCUMCISED ON THE 8TH. DAY AND THEREBY BROUGHT INTO THE COVENANT, YAHWEH RECOGNISED HIMSELF AS BEING YAH`SAC`S ELOHIM, IE. PROTECTOR AND BLESSER, AS HE HAD ALREADY DECLARED IN BERESHEITH CH.17 vs.5,

"AN ELOHIM TO YOU AND YOUR SEED AFTER YOU."

THIS MOST SOLEM BLOOD COVENANT MEANT THAT ALL THAT AVRAHAM HAD OR WOULD EVER HAVE MUST WITHOUT QUESTION BE AT YAHUWEH`S DISPOSAL. AND YAHUWEH MUST BE AVRAHAM`S ABSOLUTE AND TOTAL SUSTAINER AND PROTECTOR LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

AT THE CUTTING OF THIS MOST SOLEMN OF COVENANTS YAHWEH ELOHIM HAD DECLARED `YAH`SAR-EL` (YISRAEL) AS A NATION EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD NOT YET BEEN `BORN` AND YAH`WEH MADE THIS YAH`SAR-EL (MEANING:YAHWEH`S PRINCE WITH ELOHIM) HIS `COVENANT PEOPLE` WITH THIS BLOOD-BRIT.

THIS BLOOD COVENANT WAS LIMITED TO AVRAHAM AND TO `YAH`SAR-EL`, AVRAHAM`S ZERA AND ALL WHO WOULD ENTER THIS MOST SACRED OF COVENANTS;

AND ON ELOHIM`S PART WAS SEALED BY BOTH THE BLOOD OF ELOHIM`S SUBSTITUTE (THE SLAIN ANIMAL) AND HIS MOST SOLEMN OATH (BERESHEITH 22 vs.16-18).

ON AVRAHAM`S PART IT WAS BOTH SEALED BY AVRAHAM`S BLOOD AND THE BLOOD OF HIS ZERA FOREVER.

WHEN THE SEED (YAH`SAC) ENTERED INTO THIS MOST SACRED BLOOD BRIT THEN HE ALSO INHERITED ALL THAT THE COVENANT AFFORDED AND WHICH WAS GIVEN BY OATH TO AVRAHAM....

"AND MY BRIT SHALL BE IN YOUR FLESH FOR AN EVERLASTING BRIT."

EVERY NEW-BORN MALE-CHILD ENTERED BRIT-MALAH WHEN 8 DAYS OLD, AND THIS SIGN ON THEIR FLESH DECLARED THAT THEY WERE A SON OF THE COVENANT AND WAS BOTH A REMINDER OF THE CHILD`S UNQUALIFIED COMMITTAL TO YAHWEH AND YAHWEH`S UNQUALIFIED COMMITTAL TO THE CHILD AND AS LONG AS YAH`SAR-EL HELD TO THE COVENANT NO SHADIM IN HELL OR FOE ON EARTH COULD UTTERLY DESTROY THEM.
WHILE THE ZERA OF AVRAHAM FULFILLED THE OBLIGATIONS OF THIS MOST SACRED BLOOD-COVENANT NOT AN ONE OF THEM FELL SICK, NO SOLDIER WAS SLAIN IN BATTLE, NO WOMAN WAS EVER BARREN, NO WIFE DIED GIVING BIRTH, NO ONE DIED YOUNG, FOOD WAS EVER ON THE TABLE, AND NO ENEMY NATION COULD ANNIHILATE THEM.

THEIR ENEMIES KNEW THAT THE ELOHIM THAT YAH`SAR-EL SERVED WAS AN AWESOME ELOHIM, WITH OUTSTRETCHED HAND AND A WORKER OF SIGNS, WONDERS AND MIRACLES.

AND THEY STOOD ASTONISHED AT THIS MIGHTY AND AWSOME ELOHIM AS HE GUARDED, PRESERVED AND BLESSED HIS PEOPLE WITH A STRONG AND MIGHTY HAND.
O THE DEPTHS AND THE FULLNESS OF THIS BLOOD-COVENANT.

AND THOUGH 5.000 YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE INITIATION OF THIS AVRAHAMIC BLOOD-COVENANT YET IT`S TERMS ARE STILL IN OPERATION.

THIS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FACT IS BORNE OUT BY THE VERY RESURRECTION OF THE STATE OF YISRAEL (YAH`SAR-EL) FROM THE GRAVE AFTER 2 THOUSAND YEARS OF SUBJUGATION BY HER SWORN ENEMIES AND A FURTHER 2.000 YEARS OF DIASPORA.

WHAT OTHER NATION HAS COME TO LIFE AFTER SUCH A LONG DEATH?

ABSOLUTELY NONE.

WHAT OTHER ANCIENT LANGUAGE APART FROM HEBREW HAS COME TO LIFE AFTER SUCH A LONG DEATH .AND NOW UNIVERSALLY SPOKEN IN THE NATION OF YISRAEL AND AMONGST MANY IN THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD?

ABSOLUTELY NONE.

WHAT OTHER MODERN NATION APART FROM YISRAEL HAS SURVIVED EVERY ONSLAUGHT OF IT`S MOST SWORN ENEMIES AMASSED AGAINST IT SINCE IT`S MOST RECENT BIRTH?

ABSOLUTELY NONE.

IT IS ABUNDANTLY AND TOTALLY EVIDENT THAT YAHUWEH IS AND FOREVER WILL BE A COVENANT-KEEPING ELOHIM TO YISRAEL.

YAHUWEH ELOHIM TESTS AVRAHAM`S LOYALTY

WHEN YAHSAC WAS A YOUNG MAN, YAHWEH APPEARED TO AVRAHAM AND SAID TO HIM, "AVRAHAM,TAKE NOW, YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON YAH`SAC; WHOM YOU LOVE, AND GET INTO THE LAND OF MORIYAH; AND OFFER HIM THERE FOR A BURNT OFFERING UPON ONE OF THE MOUNTAINS OF WHICH I WILL TELL YOU."

THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION ON AVRAHAM`S PART IN OBEYING THIS ORDER OF YAHWEH FOR SEVERAL REASONS; AVRAHAM KNEW THE TERMS OF THE BLOOD BRIT AND THAT ALL THAT WAS HIS WAS ALSO YAHWEH`S AND WHATEVER YAHWEH REQUIRED OF AVRAHAM, AVRAHAM BECAUSE OF THE TERMS OF THE BLOOD-BRIT COULD REQUIRE THE SAME OF YAHWEH.

THUS IT WAS ON THAT BASIS OF FAITH ALONE THAT AVARAHAM DECLARED TO HIS BELOVED YAHSAC, ....

"MY SON...ELOHIM WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB FOR THE BURNT OFFERING."

(AS WE READ THIS MOST AWESOME AND FAITH-FILLED STATEMENT OF AVRAHAM WE CAN ALMOST HEAR THE PROPHETIC VOICE OF YAHWEH THE ANCIENT OF DAYS SPEAKING THROUGH AVRAHAM SAYING... 

"MY SON ELOHIM... WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF, A LAMB FOR THE BURNT OFFERING" )

AVRAHAM ALSO KNEW BEYOND SHADOW OF DOUBT THAT WERE HIS `ONLY SON` TO BE SACRIFICED YAHWEH WOULD MOST CERTAINLY RAISE HIM BACK TO LIFE FOR AVRAHAM BELIEVED ELOHIM`S PROMISE, THAT THROUGH YAHSAC WOULD BE BORN HIS GOYIM SEED.

AVRAHAM`S FAITH AND COMMITMENT TO YAHWEH WAS ABSOLUTE.

AFTER THE 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS JOURNEY THEY CAME TO MOUNT MORIYAH.

AVRAHAM THEN LAID HIS SON UPON THE ALTER OF SACRIFICE, AND YAHSAC, A TRUE FATHER`S SON, A LAMB AS IT WERE WITHOUT A BLEMISH OF MURMER OR COMPLAINT, WILLINGLY AND OBEDIENTLY FOLLOWED HIS FATHER`S INSTRUCTIONS AND LAY DOWN AS HIS BELOVED FATHER LIFTED THE KNIFE, AND AS HE WAS ABOUT TO SLAY THE YOUNG LAD, AVRAHAM HEARD THE MALACH-YAHWEH CALLING OUT,

"AVRAHAM, AVARAHAM, LAY NOT YOUR HAND UPON THE LAD, NEITHER DO ANYTHING TO HIM, FOR NOW I KNOW THAT YOU FEAR ELOHIM, SEEING THAT YOU HAVE NOT WITHHELD YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON FROM ME."

AND AGAIN THE MALACH-YAHWEH CALLED A SECOND TIME SAYING,
"BY MYSELF HAVE I SWORN, SAYS YAHWEH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE THIS THING, AND HAVE NOT WITHHELD YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON, THAT IN THE BRACHA I WILL BLESS YOU, AND IN MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY YOUR ZERA AS THE COCHAVIM OF THE SHAMAYIM, AND AS THE SAND THAT IS UPON THE SEASHORE; AND YOUR ZERA SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF IT`S ENEMIES; AND IN YOUR ZERA SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU HAVE OBEYED MY VOICE."

YAHWEH ELOHIM HAD FOUND A MAN WHO WOULD BE A COVENANT-KEEPING MAN. YAHUWEH HAD SEEN THAT AVRAHAM WAS HIS EQUAL AT KEEPING THE TERMS OF THE COVENANT. AVRAHAM HAD PROVED HIS LOVE AND ALLEGIENCE TO YAHWEH WITHOUT QUESTION.

 IN BERESHEITH CH.15 vs.6, IT IS DECLARED THAT

"HE (AVRAHAM) BELIEVED IN THE WORD OF YAHWEH AND HE (YHWH) COUNTED IT TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS"

 THE WORD `BELIEVED` IN THE HEBREW HERE IS `AMAN` WHICH MEANS `ABSOLUTE AND UNQUALIFIED TRUST`.

AVRAHAM HAD RECEIVED BY FAITH ALONE THE TITLE `FRIEND OF YAHWEH`

THE TERMS OF THIS BLOOD COVENANT AS WE HAVE SEEN WERE BOUND BY AN INDISSOLUBLE OATH OF YAHWEH,

"THAT, BY MYSELF HAVE I SWORN, SAYS YAHWEH,"

IN CUTTING THIS COVENANT WITH AVRAHAM AND HIS ZERA, THE ABUNDANT AND EVERLASTING BLESSINGS AND THE MOST AWFUL CURSES OF THE COVENANT AS LATER SEEN IN DEVERIM CHAPTERS 11, AND 27 AND 28 WERE LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

AND THUS NOT ONLY HAS AVRAHAM TO ENTER BRIT-MALAH BUT ALSO EVERY MALE IN THE HOUSEHOLD, WHETHER FREE-BORN OR SLAVE, OLD AND YOUNG, LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

IF THEY REFUSED BRIT-MALAH THEY WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE COVENANT AND ALL THE MULTITUDE OF BLESSINGS THAT WERE A PART OF THE CONCORDAT AND THUS EXCLUDED FROM THE COMMUNITY OF YISRAEL.

AND A SOLEMN CONDITION OF THE COVENANT WAS THAT EACH NEW-BORN MALE MUST HAVE BRIT-MILAH ON THE 8th. DAY FROM BIRTH.

THIS WAS A MOST VALID CONDITION OF THE COVENANT AND WAS NEVER TO BE BROKEN LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

SARAH INCLUDED IN THE COVENANT AND HER NAME IS CHANGED:

SHE IS TO BECOME THE MOTHER OF THE GENTILE NATIONS AS WELL AS THE MOTHER OF `YAHUDAH`:

verse 15

"SARAI EESHTECHA LO-TIKRA ET-SH`MA SARAI KI SARAH SH`MA.

"AS FOR SARAI YOUR WIFE, YOU SHALL NOT CALL HER NAME SARAI, BUT SARAH SHALL BE HER NAME"

SARAI, (MEANING DOMINATIVE/DOMINEERING) HAS ALSO LIKE HER HUSBAND AVRAHAM, THE LETTER `HEY` (THE 2ND LETTER OF THE TETRAGRAMMATON `YHWH` AND WHICH ALSO SIGNIFIES THE BREATH OR RUACH OF YAHWEH AND IS ALSO AN ABBREVIATION FOR THE SACRED NAME `YAHWEH`) INSERTED INTO HER NAME.

BUT DID YOU NOTICE WHERE YAHWEH PLACES THE `HEY`?...

HE PLACES IT AS THE LAST LETTER IN HER NAME... SIGNIFYING THAT SARAH IS NO LONGER TO HAVE THE LAST WORD IN HER RELATIONSHIP WITH AVRAHAM AS SHE OFT-TIMES HAD, WHICH POSITION SHE HAD USED TO SUBVERT OR UNDERMINE THE WORD OF YAHWEH TO AVRAHAM,

 ...NO, BUT YAHUWEH IS GOING TO HAVE THE FINAL WORD IN THIS FAMILY.

HER NAME IS CHANGED TO `SARAH` MEANING QUEEN AND IS AN APT NAME FOR A MOTHER WHOSE DESCENDANTS WOULD BE KINGS AND PRINCES AND THE NAME-CHANGE NEEDED TO BE MADE TO REFLECT HER NEW STATUS AND RELATIONSHIP IN THE COVENANT., IE.

`MOTHER OF KINGS AND PRINCES OF THE GOYIM/NATIONS.`

AS SEEN IN

verse16 :

"VEHAITA LE-GOYIM MALCHEI AMIM MIMENA YIHIYU."

"SHE SHALL BE AN EEMA (MOTHER) OF GENTILES (NATIONS) AND KINGS OF PEOPLES SHALL BE FROM HER."

NOW AVRAHAM`S WIFE SARAH IS INCLUDED IN THIS COVENANT AND THIS INCLUSION IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT, FOR IF THE ZERA/SEED OF AVRAHAM REFERRED TO YAH`SHMA-EL, THE SON OF HAGAR THE MITZRI, THEN THE GENTILE NATIONS WHO PROCEEDED FROM YAH`SHMA-EL WOULD BE THE PEOPLES TO WHOM THE SPECIFIC PROMISES OF THE COVENANT BLESSINGS WOULD BE APPLIED, BUT THE COVENANT AND IT`S SPECIFIC BLESSINGS WERE TO BE UPON AVRAHAM, HIS SON YAH`SAC AND HIS DESCENDANTS, AND SO ON UNTIL THE PROMISED GENTILE NATIONS CAME INTO BEING AS PROPHESIED AND THE COVENANT AND IT`S BLESSINGS WOULD ALSO BE THEIRS AS WELL AS YAHUDAH`S LE-OLAM-VA-ED, AS DECLARED BY YAHUWEH TO AVRAHAM.

YAH`SHMA-EL NOT FORGOTTEN OR FORSAKEN

NEVERTHELESS, ELOHIM DID NOT FORGET YISHMA-EL...

BERESHEITH 17 vs. 18-21
AVRAHAM`S HEARTFELT PRAYER TO HIS ELOHIM REGARDING HIS SON YISHMA-EL WAS....

"O THAT YAH`SHMA-EL MAY LIVE BEFORE YOU"!

AND CERTAINLY, ELOHIM`S FACE WAS TOWARDS ALL OF AVRAHAM`S ZERA, AND HIS BLESSINGS WOULD OVERTAKE AND SURROUND YISHMA-EL AND HIS ZERA SINCE HE ALSO IS THE ZERA OF AVRAHAM;

AND ALTHOUGH THE SPECIFIC BLESSINGS OF THE COVENANT WOULD NOT COME THROUGH HIS ZERA, (FOR HE WAS THE SON OF THE BOND-WOMAN) YAHUWEH NEVERTHELESS, PRONOUNCED BLESSINGS UPON YISHMA-EL, SAYING;

"AS FOR YAH`SHMA-EL, I HAVE HEARD YOU; SEE, I HAVE BLESSED HIM, AND WILL MAKE HIM FRUITFUL, AND WILL MULTIPLY HIM EXCEEDINGLY; 12 PRINCES SHALL HE BRING FORTH, AND I WILL MAKE HIM A GREAT NATION, BUT MY BRIT/COVENANT WILL I ESTABLISH WITH YITZCHAK."

AND YISHMA-EL, ALTHOUGH BEING THE FIRST-BORN, AND NOT HAVING THE BRIT ESTABLISHED WITH HIM AND HIS ZERA FOR GLOBAL MULTIPLICATION OF HIS OFFSPRING OR FOR THE BIRTH OF THE MOSHIACH, HAS THE DOOR OPENED TO HIM THROUGH FAITH IN YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH (THE LIVING TORAH), AS IT IS TO ALL GOYIM/GERIM/GENTILES WHO SHOMER YAHUSHUA, ARE BLOOD-WASHED, GRAFTED INTO THE OLIVE TREE OF YISRAEL AND ARE TORAH OBSERVANT, FOR THE COVENANT BLESSINGS ARE ONLY FOR THOSE WHO SHOMER TORAH BY FAITH, SINCE TORAH IS THE FOUNDATION OF THIS BRIT/COVENANT AS CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN IN VERSE 7 WHEN YAHUWEH DECLARES THAT THE BRIT IS MADE ALSO BETWEEN.....

"MY WORD (LIVING TORAH) AND YOU."

SO THOSE WHO REFUSE TO SHOMER TORAH, CIRCUMCISION, SHABBAT AND ALL THE MOEDS CANNOT EXPECT TO RECEIVE AND ENJOY THE COVENANT BLESSINGS AS LATER DETAILED IN DEVARIM CH:28, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY SAY THEY ARE ENTITLED TO; NO MATTER HOW EXCITED THEY GET, OR HOW MUCH THEY JUMP AND SHOUT;

BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT IF THEY REFUSE TO SHOMER TORAH THEY ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE OF ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN DEVARIM CH: 27: verses 14-26

YAH`WEH THE ELOHIM OF YAH`SHMA-EL

YAH`SHMA-EL AS A SON OF AVRAHAM GREW UP AS A WORSHIPPER OF YAHUWEH ELOHIM, THE ELOHIM OF AVRAHAM, AND WHEN HE AND HIS EEMA HAGAR WERE CAST OUT BY SARAH, THEY BOTH CRIED TO ELOHIM FOR HELP IN THE WILDERNESS AND YAHUWEH ELOHIM HEARD THEIR CRIES AND SENT HIS HEAVENLY MALACH TO ANSWER THEIR CRY FOR HELP, AND YAHUWEH AGAIN AT THAT TIME RE-AFFIRMED HIS DESTINY FOR YAH`SHMA-EL, THAT "HE WOULD BECOME A MIGHTY NATION (GOYIM) WITH 12 PRINCES" AND THE KEETVAY HAKADOSH STATES THAT AS THE LAD YAH`SHMA-EL GREW ELOHIM `WAS WITH HIM`, DECLARING OF COURSE THAT THE ELOHIM OF YAH`SHMA-EL AND HIS RACE WAS YAHUWEH THE ELOHIM OF AVRAHAM, YAH`SAC AND YAH`ACOB AND NOT ALLAH AS MANY IMAGINE TODAY.

WHEN AVRAHAM DIED THE SCRIPTURES STATE THAT  `HE WAS GATHERED TO HIS PEOPLE`  AND BOTH HIS SONS, YAH`SHMA-EL THE FIRST-BORN AND YAH`SAC CARRIED HIM TO HIS BURIEL.

AND WHEN YAH`SHMA-EL DIED AT THE AGE OF 137 YEARS THE SCRIPTURES DECLARE THAT HE TOO `WAS GATHERED TO HIS PEOPLE`, IE; HE WENT TO PARADISE TO BE WITH HIS FATHER AVRAHAM TO AWAIT THE RESURRECTION AT THE END OF DAYS. (BERESHEITH CH.25:17) FOR HE, YAH`SHMAEL, WAS ALSO A SAVED AND DEVOUT BELIEVER LIKE HIS FATHER AVRAHAM.

YAHWEH ELOHIM`S PROMISE REGARDING YISHMA-EL IS THAT HE WOULD HAVE 12 PRINCES OVER 12 TRIBES AND THEY WOULD BE MULTIPLIED EXCEEDINGLY.

WHEN WE CONSIDER BOTH MIDDLE-EAST AND ASIATIC NATIONS WHO CONTAIN THE SEED OF YISHMA-EL AND REALIZE THAT MANY OF THESE ARE FOLLOWERS OF YAHSHUA, WE SEE HOW YAHWEH HAS TRULY BLESSED YISHMA-EL.

THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT MILLIONS OF THE ZERA OF YAH`SHMA-EL WILL IN THE TRIBULATION OF THE LAST DAYS RETURN TO SERVE THE ELOHIM OF THEIR FATHERS, YISHMAEL AND AVRAHAM, AND BE TRULY JOINED TO BROTHERS YAH`SAC AND YAHUDAH, FOR THAT WAS THE HEARTFELT CRY OF AVRAHAM, 

"O THAT YAH`SHMA-EL MIGHT LIVE BEFORE YOU!"

ABBA AVRAHAM LOVED BOTH HIS SONS DEEPLY AND WISHED THEM UNITED AND WORSHIPPING YAHWEH

ZECHERYAH IN HIS SCROLL CH.12 PROPHESIES AN AMAZING EVENT REGARDING THE BEIT DAWID AND THE INHABITANTS OF YAHRUSHALAYIM.

HE MAKES A DIFFERENCE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BETWEEN THE YAHUDAH RESIDENTS OF THE CITY AND OTHER (NON-YAHUDAH) RESIDENTS.

 HE DECLARES THAT NOT ONLY THE DIFFERENT FAMILIES AND WIVES OF THE TRIBES OF YAHUDAH AND HOUSE OF DAWID WOULD HAVE A FOUNTAIN OPENED UP TO THEM FOR SIN AND UNCLEANNESS BUT...

 "ALL THE INHABITANTS"

OF YAHRUSHALAYIM WOULD EXPERIENCE THIS CLEANSING POWER:

"AND ALL THE INHABITANTS` ...

 (THAT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE ALL THE YISHMAELITES LIVING THERE)

 WOULD LOOK UPON ME, ALEPH-TAF, WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED AND MOURN FOR HIM AS ONE MOURNS FOR AN ONLY SON"

ZECHARYAH CLEARLY PROPHESIES ALL THE INHABITANTS OF YAHRUSHALAYIM, (YAHUDAH AND NON-YAHUDAH) JOINING TOGETHER IN MOURNFUL AND SORROWFUL REPENTANCE AS THEY REALIZE THAT THE ONE THEY DESPISED AND PIERCED IS TRULY THEIR MOSHIACH AND ELOHIM.
AND IN AN ACT OF TRUE TESHUVA ALL THE FALSE ELOHIMS AND THEIR NAMES ARE CAST AWAY AND FORGOTTEN LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

IN THE FINAL BOOK OF THE BRIT CHADASHA (GILYAHNA CH 4: vs.4-11), 24 ZECHANIM ARE SEEN SEATED BEFORE THE KESAY OF YAHUWEH, AND IN ADORATION AND WORSHIP THEY FALL DOWN CONTINUALLY BEFORE THE LAMB, WHO IS IN THEIR MIDST, AND PRAISE HIM FOR HIS WONDROUS REDEMPTION, DECLARING THAT HE HAS MADE THEM TO BE MELECHIM AND KOHANIM AND RULERS LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

IT MAY WELL BE THAT THESE 24 MELECHIM ARE 12 REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE 12 TRIBES OF YAH`ACOB AND 12 REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE 12 TRIBES OF YAH`SHMA-EL, THE ZERA OF AVRAHAM, THUS FULLY ANSWERING THE HEART-CRY OF AV-RAHAM,

"O THAT YAH`SHMA-EL MAY LIVE BEFORE YOU"!

YAH`SHMA-EL, THE CASTAWAY, NOW BLOODWASHED, REDEEMED AND FOREVER REJOINED WITH BROTHER YAH`SAC AND THEIR ABBA AVRAHAM AND LIVING BEFORE YAHUWEH!! .....

HALLEL YAHWEH!

THE CHILDREN OF YAH`SAR-EL TO BECOME GENTILE NATIONS SO THAT THE WHOLE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED THROUGH THEM

BERESHEITH CH.18 vs17/18
`VA YAHWEH AMAR HAMECHASE ANI ME AVRAHAM ASHER ANI OSE VE AVRAHAM HAYO YIHIYI LE-GOY GADOL VEATZUM VENIVRECHU-VO KOL GOYEY HA ARETZ.? `

`AND YAHWEH SAID, SHALL I HIDE FROM AVRAHAM THAT THING WHICH I DO SEEING THAT AVRAHAM SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY
GOYIM (NATION), AND ALL THE GENTILES (NATIONS) OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM?

IN THE PRECEDING SCRIPTURES YAHUWEH HAS HEARD THE CRY OF THE VICTIMS OF GOYIM SODOM AND HAS COME DOWN TO INVESTIGATE, AND IF NEED BE, PRONOUNCE MISHPAT UPON SODOM; BUT HE DOES AN AMAZING THING. HE CONSIDERS THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE AVRAHAM INTO ACCOUNT BEFORE HE PASSES JUDGEMENT ON SODOM AND INFORMS AVRAHAM OF HIS INTENTION BECAUSE....

AVRAHAM SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY GOYIM/NATION AND ALL THE GENTILES (NATIONS) OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM. WHY, ONE WONDERS, WOULD ELOHIM CONSIDER INVOLVING AVRAHAM AT THIS TIME SINCE THE PROMISES MADE TO HIM BECOMING A FATHER OF THE GOYIM/NATIONS HAD NOT BECOME REALITY IE LITERALLY `TAKEN ON FLESH`? THE ANSWER, OF COURSE IS FOUND IN THAT AMAZING STATEMENT YAHUWEH MADE IN CHAPTER 17:5, 

"THE ABBA OF MANY GOYIM HAVE I MADE YOU."

IT IS, AS WE HAVE DISCOVERED `PAST TENSE`

IN THE GREAT HEART OF YAHUWEH , AND ACCORDING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THAT MOST SACRED BLOOD-BRIT THAT BOTH YAHUWEH AND AVRAHAM HAD TOGETHER ENTERED INTO, AVRAHAM WAS ALREADY `RECKONED` AS BEING THE FATHER OF THE GOYIM `NOW` AND SINCE THAT WAS SO THEN AVRAHAM WOULD HAVE THE BLOOD COVENANT `RIGHT OF INTERCESSION` ON BEHALF OF ANY RIGHTEOUS GOYIM IN SODOM - `HIS GOYIM PEOPLE.`

AND IT PROVED SO, FOR WHEN AVRAHAM MEDIATED AND INTERCEDED ON BEHALF OF THE RIGHTEOUS FEW IN SODOM YAHUWEH ACCEPTED HIS PLEAS AND BLESSED THE RIGHTEOUS FEW WITH LIFE.

AVRAHAM HAD ALREADY BECOME A BLESSING TO THE RIGHTEOUS GOYIM FEW FOR IN THAT CITY WAS HIS NEPHEW RIGHTEOUS LOT, AND HAD AVRAHAM NOT INTERCEDED FOR HIM AND HIS ZERA THERE WOULD BE NO TRIBE OF AMMON OR MOAB WHO WERE OF THE ZERA OF LOT AND WHO ARE TODAY`S JORDANIANS.

MAY THAT BE A WARNING TO ALL WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES RIGHTEOUS GENTILES (CHRISTIANS) IN YAHUSHUA TO `COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM AND BE (KADOSH) SEPARATE`

AVRAHAM`S ZERA NOW PROPHESIED TO FILL THE WHOLE EARTH!

THE AVRAHAMIC BLESSINGS MULTIPLIED

BERESHEITH CH.22 vs.17/18

"KI-VARECH AVARECHECHA VEHARBA ARBE ET-ZARACHA KECHOCHVEI HASHAMAYIM VECHACHOL ASHER AL`SFAT HAYAM VEYIRASH ZARACHA ET SHAAR OYVEN. VEHITBARCHU VEZARACHA KOL GOYEY HA ARETZ EKEY ASHER SHAMAATA BEKOLI" 

"THAT IN THE BRACHA I WILL BLESS YOU, AND IN MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY YOUR ZERA (SEED) AS THE STARS OF THE HEAVENS, AS THE SAND THAT IS UPON THE SEASHORE; AND YOUR ZERA (SEED) SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF IT`S ENEMIES AND IN YOUR ZERA SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED; BECAUSE YOU HAVE OBEYED MY VOICE."

NOW YAHUWEH AMPLIFIES THE BLESSINGS TO AVRAHAM SAYING THAT HIS ZERA, WHICH WOULD BECOME THE GOYIM NATIONS , WOULD BE SO VAST AND INNUMERABLE AS THE VISIBLE STARS IN THE SKY, AND THE SANDS OF THE SEASHORE, AND THAT THEY WOULD HOLD THE FORTRESSES OF IT`S ENEMIES.

IN OTHER WORDS HIS ZERA WOULD NOT ONLY BE THE 16 MILLION OR SO OF YAHUDAH THAT DWELL TODAY IN ERETZ YISRAEL AND OTHER NATIONS, BUT WOULD BE SO VAST AND INNUMERABLE THAT THEY WOULD FILL AND BLESS ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE THE CUSTODIANS OF THEIR ENEMIES GATES.

OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO OR THROUGH YAHUDAH, AND.

ALTHOUGH YAHUDAH HAS IN AN ASTONISHING MEASURE BEEN A TREMENDOUSLY IMMENSE BLESSING, SPIRITUALLY, SCIENTIFICALLY, MEDICALLY, FINANCIALLY AND IN MANY OTHER WAYS TO THE NATIONS AND STILL IS...

YET THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN `AS THE SANDS OF THE SEASHORE` AND THE `CUSTODIANS OF THEIR ENEMIES GATES`.

THEY HAVE EVER BEEN A PERSECUTED MINORITY.

SO DID YAHUWEH EXAGGERATE?

DID YAHUWEH LIE OR DECEIVE HIS FRIEND AVRAHAM??

IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE THAT AVRAHAM`S SEED WOULD MULTIPLY TO SUCH AN INNUMERABLE HOST??

WAS IT ALL JUST A GRAND PLAN THAT WENT DISASTEROUSLY WRONG??

SEVERAL TIMES YHWH ELOHIM DECLARED TO AVRA-HAM THAT HIS SEED WOULD BE SO VAST AS TO BE UNCOUNTABLE!!!

IF WE ARE TRULY HONEST WITH OURSELVES WE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ELOHIM EITHER LIED AND THERE WAS NO SEED AS VAST AS THE `STARS IN THE SKY AND SAND OF THE SEASHORE`INNUMERABLE AND UNMEASUREABLEAND ACCEPT THAT THE FEW MILLIONS OF YAHUDAH IS ALL THAT AVRAHAM ENDED UP WITH..MUCH, MUCH FEWER THAN MANY NATIONS TODAY.A NUMBER THAT CAN BE SO EASILY COUNTED OR..

WE CAN DECLARE WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE:

"LET YAH BE TRUE AND EVERY MAN A LIAR!!"      (ROMIN-YAH 3:4)

HAVING DEALT THUS FAR WITH BOTH THE TRIBE OF YAHUDAH AND THE GENTILE DESCENDANTS OF AVRAHAM THE QUESTION ARISES, IF YHWH KEPT HIS WORD THAT HE GAVE TO AVRAHAM, WHERE THEN DO WE NOW FIND THE MULTIPLIED MILLIONS OF THE 10 TRIBES OF `LOST` YISRAEL ?

CALLING KOL YISRAEL HOME !!

LET US AGAIN RETURN TO THE SCROLL OF HOSHEA THE PROPHET

FOR IN THIS SCROLL AN ASTOUNDING PROPHETIC SCENE UNFOLDS:

THE CHILDREN OF YISRAEL TO BECOME GENTILE NATIONS SO THAT THE WHOLE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED THROUGH THEM

CHAPTER 1 vs. 6 &10

HOSHEA, WHO AS WE EARLIER SAW WAS THE FINAL PROPHET TO THE ANCIENT NORTHERN KINGDOM OF YAH`SAR-EL ASTOUNDINGLY DECLARES THAT:

"EPHRAIM YAH`SAR-EL, (THE TEN TRIBES KINGDOM) WOULD BE UTTERLY TAKEN AWAY" (FROM HER PLACE IN NORTHERN YISRAEL) AND BECOME AS THE GENTILES THEY LOVED TO IMITATE ....

AND THAT THEY WOULD BECOME INNUMERABLE AND UNMEASUREABLE

"AS THE SANDS OF THE SEA"

"AS THE DUST OF THE EARTH!"

YAH`SAR-EL WOULD

THE VERY PROMISE OF VAST MULTIPLICITY GIVEN TO AVRAHAM

AND YAHUWEH ALSO DECLARES THAT THOSE WHO WERE ONCE CALLED

 `LO AMI`... `NOT MY PEOPLE` (EPHRAIM YISRAEL)

WOULD AT THE END OF TIME BE ONCE MORE CALLED ...

`B`NAI-ELOHIM` .

`CHILDREN OF ELOHIM` 

AND THAT THEY WOULD RETURN TO YAHUWEH, AND BECOME HIS BRIDE AND HE WOULD FURNISH THEM WITH A BRIT CHADASHA--A RENEWED COVENANT

AND THAT AS HE HAS BROUGHT BACK YAHUDAH FROM HIS GRAVE AND REPLANTED HIM IN ERETZ YISRAEL ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT, SO ALSO WILL HE BRING BACK EPHRAIM YISRAEL FROM HIS GRAVE AND ON HIS RETURN TO YAHUWEH AND THIS MOST SACRED OF BLOOD COVENANTS HE WOULD BE

REJOINED WITH BROTHER YAHUDAH!

IN VERSE 11 OF CH.1, YAHUWEH ANNOUNCES.

 "THEN SHALL THE CHILDREN OF YAHUDAH AND THE CHILDREN OF YAH`SAR-EL BE GATHERED TOGETHER AND APPOINT FOR THEMSELVES ONE HEAD AND THEY SHALL COME UP OUT OF THE LAND (OF DIASPORA) FOR GREAT SHALL BE YOM YIZRE-EL" (THE DAY OF THE SCATTERED AND SOWN SEED OF YISRAEL)

IN THIS WONDERFUL AND AMAZING PROPHECY OF HOSHEA, YAHUWEH REVEALS TO US THE METHOD WHEREBY AVRAHAM`S SEED WOULD BECOME LE-GOYIM - THE GENTILES - AND THUS FULFILL THE PROPHECY OF AN INNUMERABLE COMPANY FILLING ALL THE EARTH AS HE PROMISED TO AVRAHAM.

IN THIS BOOK OF HOSHEA BOTH THE HOUSE OF YAH`SAR-EL AND THE HOUSE OF YAHUDAH ARE REFERRED THROUGHOUT AS 2 SEPARATE AND DISTINCT NATIONS. YAHUWEH DECLARES TO THE HOUSE OF YAHUDAH THE THINGS THAT WOULD BEFALL HER AND TO THE HOUSE OF YAH`SAR-EL HER FATE.

 HE NEVER CALLS ONE HOUSE BY THE NAME OF THE OTHER.

 EPHRAIM YAH`SAR-EL IS ALWAYS YAH`SAR-EL

AND YAHUDAH IS ALWAYS YAHUDAH.

YISRAEL WILL BE BROKEN, DISPERSED AND SOWN AMONG THE VAST MULTITUDES OF GENTILES AND ALSO BECOME GENTILES.

YAHUDAH WOULD BE SPARED A LITTLE AND SHOWN MERCY AND WOULD THROUGH THE MANY GENERATIONS SURVIVE AS A PEOPLE KEEPING TRUE TO TORAH.

HOSHEA PROPHESIES THAT BECAUSE EPHRAIM THE CHIEF TRIBE OF YISRAEL LED YISRAEL IN REBELLION AGAINST YAHUWEH AND HIS BLOOD-BRIT, HIS TORAH AND ALL HIS WAYS, AND COMPLETELY ACTED LIKE THE GOYIM, THEN YAHUWEH WOULD GIVE THEM THEIR HEARTS DESIREREJECT THEM, SOW THEM AMONG THE GOYIM AND LEAVE THEM ALL ALONE TO DEFEND FOR THEMSELVES.

THEY WOULD EVEN FORGET WHO THEY WERE.

THE SCROLL OF HOSHEA IS A MOST HEART-BREAKING STORY AND YAHUWEH DECLARES IN CHAPTER 5:15... "

I WILL GO AND RETURN TO MY PLACE, UNTIL THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR OFFENCE, (REJECTION OF TORAH)

AND SEEK MY FACE:

IN THEIR AFFLICTION (TRIBULATION) THEY WILL SEEK ME EARLY."

IT WILL TAKE THE AFFLICTION (GREAT TRIBULATION) IN THE `3RD. DAY` (CHAPTER 6 vs.1-3) FOR EPHRAIM YISRAEL WITH TRUE HEART-FELT SORROW TO RETURN TO SEEK YAHUWEH, THE BLOOD BRIT AND ALL HIS WAYS.

EPHRAIM YISRAEL WOULD NEVER AGAIN SEE THE FACE OF YAHUWEH AS THEIR FOREFATHERS DID, UNTIL THEY REPENT, RETURN TO YAHUWEH AND SHOMER THE BLOOD-BRIT AND TORAH.

THE SITUATION HAS REMAINED SO `TIL THIS VERY DAY.

IT IS A FACT THAT YAHUDAH WERE ALWAYS MORE CONSCIOUS OF THEIR NEED TO SHOMER THE BLOOD COVENANT, TORAH, SHABBAT, THE MOEDS AND FOLLOW CLOSE TO YAHUWEH, ALTHOUGH MANY TIMES THEY DID GO ASTRAY.

BUT THEY REMAINED ON THE WHOLE A FAITHFUL PEOPLE COMPARED TO YISRAEL;

AND THROUGH THE TRIBE OF YAHUDAH CAME YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIAH, THE REDEEMER OF THE WORLD, AND MOSHIACH OF THE `GENTILES`.

EPHRAIM YISRAEL, ON THE OTHER HAND, WERE ALWAYS SO QUICK TO THROW ASIDE THE KADOSH THINGS OF YAHUWEH AND ACT LIKE GENTILES IN EVERY WAY, DESPISING CIRCUMCISION, TORAH, SHABBAT, AND THE FEASTS, AND SO BECAUSE OF THIS WANTON, WILLING ATTITUDE TO CONTINUALLY ACT AND LIVE LIKE GENTILES, YAHUWEH TOLD THEM THAT HE WOULD SO DISPERSE AND ASSIMILATE THEM AMONG THE GENTILES THAT THEY WOULD TOTALLY LOSE THEIR FORMER IDENTITY, AND KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR INHERITANCE IN YAHUWEH.

AND SO, THOSE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, IF NOT MILLIONS OF THE TEN TRIBES OF EPHRAIM YISRAEL WERE THUS MARRIED INTO AND AMONGST THE GOYIM OF THE NATIONS WHERE THEY WERE CARRIED AND ASSIMILATED BY THE ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, SO MUCH SO, IN FACT THAT YISRAELI / HEBREW  DNA, GENES AND BLOODLINE IS NOW SO INTERMINGLED AND INTERWOVEN WITH THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH FROM JAPAN IN THE FAR-EAST TO IRELAND IN THE EXTREME WEST AND ACROSS THE AFRICAS AND AMERICAS, INCLUDING THE INDIGENOUS NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS, THAT IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT ANY LIVING HUMAN BEING HAS NOT A DROP OF YISRAELITE BLOOD FLOWING THROUGH HIS VEINS.

IN THIS AMAZING AND STAGGERING MANNER YAHUWEH HAS FULFILLED THE PROMISE GIVEN TO AVRAHAM THAT HIS ZERA WOULD BE AS THE SANDS OF THE SEASHORE, AS THE DUST OF THE EARTH, AS THE UNCOUNTABLE STARS OF THE NIGHT-SKY, FILLING THE NATIONS AND BEING A BLESSING TO THEM.

NO DOUBT S.A.TAN THOUGHT TO DESTROY THE PROMISE OF ELOHIM TO AVRAHAM BY SCATTERING AND INTERMINGLING EPHRAIM YISRAEL AMONGST THE GOYIM, THINKING TO DESTROY THE ZERA AND THE PROMISE BUT ELOHIM, GLORY TO HIS NAME , IS ALWAYS FAR AHEAD OF THE SCHEMES OF HA SHATAN (S.A.TAN).

IT CAN SURELY BE SAID AGAIN, AS IT WAS BY YOSEPH OF OLD TO HIS BRETHREN,

"AS FOR YOU, YOU THOUGHT EVIL AGAINST ME, BUT ELOHIM MEANT IT FOR GOOD, TO BRING TO PASS, AS IT IS THIS DAY, TO SAVE MANY PEOPLE ALIVE"

TRULY, ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH HAVE BECOME THE BIOLOGICAL OFFSPRING OF AVRAHAM AND THERE WOULD BE PRECIOUS FEW OF THE 6 BILLIONS OF THIS TINY PLANET WHO DO NOT HAVE HIS BLOOD IN THEIR VEINS.

 THIS IN ITSELF IS AN AMAZING THOUGHT.......

 FOR, YAHUDAH FAR FROM BEING ALONE IN THE WORLD, NOW TURNS OUT TO BE THE BROTHER OF ALMOST EVERY MAN.

AND IRONICALLY THE WARS THAT YISRAEL FOUGHT WITH YAHUDAH, BEFORE THEIR DISPERSION BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY, HAVE NOT CEASED THESE PAST 2.000 YEARS.

 IS THIS WHY THERE IS SO MUCH ANTI-YAHUDISM THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE??-

 IS IT BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A DEEP-SEATED JEALOUSY IN THE HEART AND PSYCHE OF AVRAHAM`S GLOBAL SEED, GOYIM YISRAEL, TOWARDS YAHUDAH, HIS BROTHER, BECAUSE YAHUDAH KEPT THE COVENANTS OF YAHUWEH AND REMAINED SEEN AS A SEPARATE PEOPLE BY THEIR WAYS AND MODE??

AND EPHRAIM YISRAEL KNOWS THAT HE COULD NOT, WOULD NOT KEEP THE KADOSH THINGS AND SO BECAME CAST OUT AND THUS HATED YAHUDAH???

AND YET IT IS MOST IRONIC AND MARVELLOUS IN OUR EYES, THAT THOSE TEN TRIBES OF ANCIENT YISRAEL WHO REJECTED ALL THE THINGS OF YAHUWEH, AND ALL THE KADOSH THINGS THAT YAHUDAH AND AVRAHAM HELD DEAR, AND WHO THEN BECOME LE-GOYIM, GENTILE NATIONS POPULATING THE WHOLE EARTH WITH THE VERY BLOOD OF AVRAHAM, WERE THE VERY ONES WHO IN THEIR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OVER THE LAST 2.000 YEARS HAVE BOWED THE KNEE TO YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH OF THE TRIBE OF YAHUDAH. THE ONE, WHOSE DAY, AVRAHAM REJOICED TO SEE.

TRULY, YAHUSHUA HAS COME TO SEEK OUT THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF YISRAEL AS HE SAID,

"I HAVE NOT BEEN SENT EXCEPT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF YISRAEL"

AND AGAIN

 "OTHER SHEEP HAVE I, WHO ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD",

 ie OF THE FOLD OF THE HOUSE OF YAHUDAH INTO WHICH HE WAS BORN, AND FROM WHOM HE CAME, `TO SEEK AND TO SAVE `THAT WHICH WAS LOST`- ie- EPHRAIM YISRAEL.

YAHUWEH THE ETERNAL ELOHIM WHO HAD ENTERED INTO A MOST HOLY BLOOD-BRIT WITH AVRAHAM AND AVRAHAM`S ZERA FOREVER WAS FULFILLING THAT WHICH HE HAD HIMSELF REQUIRED OF AVRAHAM, GIVING UP HIS SON, HIS ONLY SON,

YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH

FOR THE REDEMPTION OF AVRAHAM`S CHILDREN, BOTH GOYIM AND NON-GOYIM.

O GREAT AND MARVELLOUS ARE THY WORKS YAHUWEH EL-SHADDAI

EPHRAIM YISRAEL RETURNS TO SHOMER TORAH

NEVERTHELESS, EPHRAIM YISRAEL THOUGH TURNING TO YAHUSHUA HAVE NEVER AS YET FULLY RETURNED TO YAHUWEH AND HIS BRIT-MALAH AND TORAH AS YAHUWEH DESIRES,

 EVEN THOUGH YAHUSHUA IN MATTITYAHU CHAPTER 5 :18 FULLY EXPECTS HIS FOLLOWERS TO SHOMER TORAH AND FULFILL IT:

BUT AS WE SAW IN HOSHEA CH: 5 vs. 15, IT WILL TAKE THE TIME OF THE AFFLICTION/GREAT TRIBULATION FOR THE BLOOD-WASHED THRONG OF YAHUSHUA HA-MOSHIACH TO FINALLY SEE THAT THEY MUST SHOMER (OBEY, PROTECT AND GUARD) TORAH AS YAHUDAH DOES,

FOR IN CHAPTER 6 vs. 1-3, THEY SHOW TESHUVAH (REPENTANCE) REGARDING TORAH AFTER 2 DAYS (2.000 YEARS)...

AND IN THE 3RD. DAY (MILLENNIUM) YAHUWEH EXALTS THEM AGAIN, AS THEY ONCE MORE REJOIN YAHUDAH AND SHOMER TORAH.

PROPHETIC UTTERANCES MADE TO YISRAEL

ALSO 2 OTHER PROPHETIC STATEMENTS MADE TO AVRAHAM`S GRANDSON YAH`ACOB ARE ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO MENTION AS THEY ARE SEALS OF CONFIRMATION OF THE WORLWIDE SPREAD OF HIS OFFSPRING AND THEIR RETURN TO ERETZ YISRAEL. THE PROMISE OF A MULTITUDE OF NATIONS AND OFFSPRING AS VAST AS THE `DUST OF THE EARTH`, ARE GIVEN IN BERESHEITH CH:28.

IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, YAH`SAC PRONOUNCES UPON HIS SON YAH`ACOB (YISRAEL) 

"EL-SHADDAI BLESS YOU AND MAKE YOU FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY YOU, AND YOU SHALL BECOME A CONGREGATION OF NATIONS, AND EL-SHADDAI GIVE YOU THE BRACHA (BLESSING) OF AVRAHAM, TO YOU AND TO YOUR ZERA WITH YOU, THAT YOU MAY INHERIT THE LAND IN WHICH YOU ARE A GER (STRANGER); WHICH ELOHIM GAVE TO AVRAHAM."

AND THE SECOND INSTANCE IN THE SAME CHAPTER FINDS YAH`ACOB IN BETH-EL, AND IN A DREAM YAHWEH APPEARS TO HIM SAYING,

"I AM YAHWEH ELOHIM, OF AVRAHAM YOUR ABBA, AND THE ELOHIM OF YAH`SAC; THE LAND WHERE YOU LIE, TO YOU WILL I GIVE IT, AND TO YOUR ZERA;

AND YOUR ZERA SHALL BE AS THE DUST OF THE EARTH,

AND YOU SHALL BREAK OUT ABROAD TO THE WEST, AND TO THE EAST, AND TO THE NORTH, AND TO THE SOUTH,

AND IN YOU AND IN YOUR ZERA SHALL ALL THE MISHPACHOT (FAMILIES) OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED;

AND SEE, I AM WITH YOU, AND WILL KEEP YOU IN ALL THE PLACES WHERE YOU ARE GOING,AND WILL BRING YOU AGAIN INTO THIS LAND;

FOR I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU, UNTIL I HAVE DONE THAT WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU."

THUS AVRAHAM`S BLOODLINE....

 FLOWING THROUGH YISHMA-EL HELPS POPULATE THE ARABIC RACES WHILST EUROPE, AFRICA AND THE ASIATIC CONTINENTS RECEIVES IT THROUGH EPHRAIM YISRAEL AND YAHUDAH

AND AS WE HAVE EARLIER NOTED ALSO, THAT AVRAHAMS BLOODLINE FLOWING THROUGH EPHRAIM YISRAEL (TEN TRIBES) AND ALSO THROUGH YAHUDAH HAS MINGLED WITH THE BLOODLINE OF MOST IF NOT ALL EUROPEAN NATIONS, AS WELL AS THE AFRICAN, PAN-ASIAN AND INDIGENOUS NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN PEOPLES THESE PAST 2.000 YEARS OF THEIR WANDERINGS AND DIASPORAS.

YISRAEL AND YAHUDAH TO BE REJOINED AS ONE NATION!

YET ALL THE PROPHETS OF ANCIENT YISRAEL AND YAHUDAH DECLARES THAT THIS VAST INNUMERABLE COMPANY OF YISRAEL`S SEED WHO WOULD FILL THE EARTH AS GENTILES AND WHO WOULD BOW THE KNEE TO THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF YAHUDAH, WOULD IN THE `LAST DAYS` RETURN TO JOIN WITH YAHUDAH AS YAHUDAH LOOKS UPON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED AND MOURN FOR HIM AS ONE MOURNS FOR AN ONLY SON

FOR KOL YISRAEL WILL BE SAVED AND EPHRAIM YISRAEL, NO MORE GOYIM, LEAVING BEHIND THEIR PAGAN RELIGIOUS CULTURE AND `CHRISTIAN TRADITIONS`

AND ACCORDING TO PROPHETIC SCRIPTURE,

AT LONG LAST, ONCE AGAIN AND FOREVER WILL EMBRACE AND SHOMER THE COVENANT, TORAH, SHABBAT, CIRCUMCISION AND ALL THE MOEDS OF YAHUWEH ALONG WITH BLOOD-WASHED AND REDEEMED YAHUDAH AND TOGETHER WITH BLOOD-WASHED YISHMA-EL SHALL RETURN TO WORSHIP YAHUWEH TZEVAOTH

ON HIS KADOSH HAR, YAHRUSHALAYIM,

UNDER YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH THROUGHOUT THE NEW MILLENNIUM

LE-OLAM-VA-ED.

EPHRAIM YISRAEL`S AWAKENING

EPHRAIM YISRAEL, SINCE THE DIVISION OF THE ONE KINGDOM INTO 2

 (YISRAEL AND YAHUDAH),

HAVE NEVER FULLY RETURNED TO YAHUWEH NOR YET BEEN REJOINED TO YAHUDAH, NEVERTHELESS THOUGH NOW ASSIMILIATED AMONG THE NATIONS ARE NOW BEING AWAKENED:

AWAKENED TO THEIR HERITAGE ALONG WITH BROTHER YAHUDAH AS YAHWEH ELOHIM`S PECULIAR PEOPLE:

AWAKENED TO TORAH:

AWAKENED TO COVENANT OBSERVANCE

AWAKENED TO THEIR COVENANT BLESSINGS:

AWAKENED TO SHABBAT:

AND NOW, TODAY, IN THE 21ST. CENTURY, THIS WORD IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FULFILLED AS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MEN AND WOMEN WORLWIDE, WHO, HAVING BEEN BLOOD-WASHED IN YAHUSHUA ARE HAVING THE VEIL REMOVED FROM THEIR EYES, RECOGNISING THAT THEY ARE THE ZERA OF AVRAHAM, THROUGH EPHRAIM/YISRAEL, THE SCATTERED AND SOWN SEED, THAT THEY ARE THE `WILD` OLIVE  BRANCHES, (THE NETZARIM) NOW BEING GRAFTED BACK INTO THE TRUE OLIVE TREE AND ARE WITH MOST JOYOUS HEARTS RETURNING TO TORAH AND ALL THE MOEDS, THEY SHOMER SHABBAT, MEN-FOLK ENTER BRIT-MALAH AND AWAIT WITH JOYOUS GLADNESS THE VEIL BEING REMOVED FROM YAHUDAH SO THAT HE SEES YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH AND ALSO RECOGNISES HIS BROTHER EPHRAIM YISRAEL AND WITH GLAD ANTICIPATION TOGETHER LOOK FORWARD TO THE REUNION OF THE WHOLE HOUSE OF YISRAEL, 12 TRIBES, AT THE RETURN OF YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH AND JOINING HEARTS WITH THE BLOODWASHED 12 TRIBES OF YISHMA-EL THEY FLOW TOGETHER TO THE MOUNTAIN OF THE BAYIT OF YAHUWEH AS DECLARED BY THE NAVI YESHAYAHU, CHAPTER 2 vs. 1-5.

THIS INDEED IS THE RESTORATION THAT THE TALMIDIM QUESTIONED YAHUSHUA ON, JUST PRIOR TO HIS ASCENSION AND WHICH WE TOUCHED ON AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS STUDY... EPHRAIM YISRAEL AND YAHUDAH RESTORED AS ONE NATION...AND ALSO THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY GIVEN BY KEPHA IN MAASEH SCHLICHIM CH. 3 VERSE 21...

"HE SHALL SEND YAHUSHUA HAMOSHIACH WHOM THE HEAVENS MUST RECEIVE UNTIL THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS..."

THE RESTORING OF ALL THINGS AS THEY WERE

YAHUSHUA WILL BE REVEALED FROM HEAVEN,

YAHUDAH WILL RECEIVE HIM;

EPHRAIM YISRAEL AND YAHUDAH WILL JOIN AS ONE;

YAHUSHUA WILL BE ONE SHEPHERD OVER 1 FLOCK,

YAHUSHUA WILL COMMENCE HIS REIGN AT YAHRUSHALAYIM;

HE WILL SEND FORTH TORAH INTO ALL NATIONS;

ALL NATIONS WILL ACCEPT AND FULLY BECOME TORAH-OBSERVANT...

"AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT EVERY SOUL, THAT SHALL NOT HEAR THAT PROPHET (YAHUSHUA), SHALL BE DESTROYED FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE".

THE WELL-KNOWN PICTURE OF YOSEPH IN MITZRAYIM (BERESHEITH :CHS 37-47) WITH A GENTILE WIFE AND CHILDREN WITH GENTILE NAMES AND OF BEING A `PHARAOH` TO MITZRAYIM AND A BLESSING IN TIME OF FAMINE TO THE GENTILE MITZRIM IS A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF YISRAEL AMONGST THE GOYIM;
AND THEN HIS RE-UNION WITH HIS BRETHREN WHO REMAINED IN FATHER`S HOUSE IS A WONDERFUL PICTORIAL PROPHECY OF THE COMING RE-UNION OF YISRA-EL AND YAHUDAH.

 IT HARDLY NEEDS TO BE SAID THAT IT WAS YOSEPH`S ZERA EPHRAIM WHO BECAME THE CHIEF TRIBE IN YISRAEL AND WHO LATER BECAME GENTILISED AFTER THE DIVISION OF THE KINGDOMS.

ELOHIM WAS REVEALING THE FUTURE THROUGH PAST EVENTS IN THE LIVES OF THE FORE-FATHERS.

THE WORDS OF ROBERT BURNS THE SCOTS POET WILL YET PROVE STRANGELY PROPHETIC: 

For a` that, an` a` that,

 Its comin` yet for a` that,

That man tae man the wardle ower

 Will brithers be

 For a` that.

  WHEN THE KING SHALL COME!!

To Listen To Melody, Click `Midi`

When the Ransomed of Yahuweh,

From the East and from the West,

Shall return with joyous gladness,

To receive the promised rest

Then shall every Tribe and Nation

Out of every land be blessed,

And rejoicing they shall gather

When the King shall come.

Refrain:

ROLL FORWARD, O TZION!

Grace will be Thy triumph

Til the King shall come;

ROLL FORWARD, O TZION

Thou shalt be exalted

When the King shall come.

Oh, the weary night is waning,

And the clouds are rolling by;

See, the long expected morning

Now is dawning in the sky;

When from Tzions lofty mountain

We shall hear the Watchmen cry

And rejoicing we shall gather

When the King shall come

Refrain

May He find us, when He cometh,

 Faithful Watchers, day and night,

At our Royal Post of Duty,

With our armour shining bright,

May our lamps be trimmed and burning

With a clear and steady Light,

That rejoicing we may gather

When the King shall come.

Refrain.

"EVEN SO, COME, MAR YAHSHUA"
