Replacement Theology and how to put an end to it 1?

Replacement theology has been a cancer in theological circles for almost two thousand years and absolutely refuses to go away. Even though replacement theology takes on different modes and applications, it originated when the early non-Jewish fathers of the Christian Church, declared that the Roman based ecclesiastical organization called 'the church' replaced the Jewish nation as the ‘new Israel’. This was the beginning of the captivity of the congregation which was started in the wilderness by Moses (as per Acts 7: 7 & 8) and continued by Yahshua as he told Kepha and His other disciples in Matthew 16: 18 and as mentioned by Rav Shaul in Ephesians 2: 11 – 22.

According to the Christian church they have replaced Jewish Israel, asG-d rejected them, since they maintain that the Jews killed Messiah. This despite Messiah saying to the Jews in John 10: 14 – 18: ‘I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me,(15) even as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. (16) And I have other sheep which are not of this (Jewish) fold; I must bring them (the lost sheep of the house of Israel) also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd. (17) For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again (when Yahshua was resurrected). (18) No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”  Yahshua’s death was foreordained by the Father and according to Ephesians 2: 15 He abolished the judgment due to us for disobeying G-d’s Torah[1], by dying for each and every one of us on His impalement stake. Yes, He died to redeem us from the punishment due to us when we did not even know what sin was. The Jews kept G-d’s Torah diligently ever since returning from captivity by king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to rebuilt the temple and walls of Jerusalem during the time of Ezra, Nehemiah and Zerubbabel one of Messiah’s ancestors through Miriam, as may be seen from Luke 3. Even though His death also atoned for the house of Judah ( as per John 11: 49 – 52), He came primarily to bring the lost sheep of the house of Israel back to the covenant relationship they entered into with HASHEM at Mount Sinai, together with the house of Judah, as He clearly said in Matthew 15: 24. You and I from the lost sheep of the house of Israel are directly responsible for Messiah’s death, and unless and until we accept that responsibility, we will die in our sins.

Extreme proponents of replacement theology have even gone so far as to claim that HASHEMG-d is the cruel, mean old G-d of the Old Testament, whilst J*e*s*u*s* the C*h*r*i*s*t* is the loving G-d of the New Testament and has effectively replaced HASHEM and His Torah, but also the Jewish people with modern day Christianity. This shocking false doctrine is not a small theological side issue to be argued about in a local pub, but has been at the forefront of anti-Semitism and provides fuel for the tragic events such as the Christian Crusades, the Spanish inquisition and the Nazi holocaust of about 80 years ago, but is ongoing today. Adolph Hitler knew that he could get approval from these church people and truly cashed in on it. Even the seemingly benign doctrines of the Christian church such as ‘the Kingdom now’ where the church will do everything in its power to Christianize the world through the establishment of the Bible as a world-wide constitution, and whereby all world powers will be won, and taken over by Christianity, are nothing more than attempts to replace the Jews. Historically we know that it was the Crusaders who attempted to convert the world by the sword and are even today trying by sending people into Africa, Arabia, China and elsewhere in the world, despite Yahshua saying to His disciples the first time he sent them out in Matthew 10: 5 – 7, saying: “Do not go the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; (6) but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (7) And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”The truth is these folks believe that Jews have no future, unless they agree to assimilate with the Christian church, and accept its customs and doctrines. These people do not understand that Jews inherit eternal life by simply keeping G-d’s Torah, as Yahshua explained to the Jewish man who asked Him this very question in Luke 10: 25, saying: “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”  We read Yahshua’s answer to him in the discussion in verses 26 – 28, as follows: “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?” (27) And he answered and said, “YOU SHALL LOVE HASHEM YOUR G-D WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” (28) And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; DO THIS, AND YOU WILL LIVE.”  These folks with their hideous theologies refer to anything Jewish as being anti-Christ and legalistic, not knowing that Jews believe in the coming Messiah to come and rule the united commonwealth of Israel consisting of the house of Judah and the house of Israel from Jerusalem, when the righteous will be resurrected to spend eternal life in the Kingdom of G-d in the Promised Land.

The Christian church has repeatedly proclaimed to its followers that the Torah or the Laws of G-d given to first covenant Israel, were all abolished by C*h*r*i*s*t*, but this is the furthest away from the truth as one can get, since Yahshua the real Messiah taught in John 5: 45 – 47, saying: “Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses (who received the Torah from HASHEM), in whom you have set your hope. (46) For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. (47) But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” In addition He also said in Matthew 5: 17 -19: ‘Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. (18) For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. (19) Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.’Truth is the man-made religion with its headquarters in Rome wants to force their paganized Christianity on the entire population of the world, as much as Islam is trying to.Then, the Christian Church gets very excited when some of their members are imprisoned and even at times beheaded for trying to convert known Muslims. The most disturbing part is that replacement theology continues to be spread unchecked by all Christian denominations, but also by Messianic Jews. Fact is, even though these folks claim to believe in Messiah, they do just the opposite of what He taught and did whilst He was on earth. When Yahshua told the Pharisees in Matthew 23: 15, saying: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel about on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves”, he was really talking to His disciples and all pious people, since the house of Israel was scattered into the world and the Jews were the only part of the nation of Israel living in the Promised Land during His life on earth. We need to understand that Jews do not believe in proselytizing and will never approach or even try to convert outsiders. They will only talk to those who out of their own free will come to them to convert to Judaism.

Many believe that the so-called church was started by Yahshua’s disciples in 31 CE after His death, resurrection and ascension to heaven. However, the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had and will continue to have a vital role to play in the historical and redemptive purposes of our heavenly Father. Fact is that no other nation before or since has been reserved by G-d to work out His earthly will as has the 12 tribes of Israel. Replacement theology maintains that until the Jews are ‘saved’, they will be cursed. But, the reality is that just the opposite is true, and even in their unbelief in Yahshua at present, they are G-d’s chosen people as witnessed in Romans 11: 25 – 29, as follows: ‘For I do not  want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; (26) and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.” (27)“AND THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” (28) From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of G-d’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; (29)for the gifts and the calling of G-d are irrevocable.’ Yahshua our Messiah’s main purpose was to bring the lost sheep of the house of Israel back in to the faith into which He was born, and not to start a new religion or to Christianize the world. What we read about in Romans 11, Ephesian 2: 11 – 22 and 1 Peter 2: 5 – 10 has to do with the reversal of the curses placed on the House of Israel in Hosea 1, where the Prophet Hosea prophesied about the house of Israel being scattered into the world because of idolatry. Whereas they became known as ‘not G-d’s people’ (‘Lo-ruhamah’),for whom He had ‘no more mercy ‘ (‘Lo-ammi’), we read from 1st Peter 2: 9 & 10:‘But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR G-D’S OWN POSSESSION, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (10) for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF G-D; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.’

Replacement theology states that when the Christian church was started in 31 AD on Pentecost, the Jews inherited all the curses of the Torah found in Deuteronomy 28, whilst Christianity inherited all the blessing through their faith in Yahshua, which they base falsely on Galatians 3.The Church superimposed the doctrine of ‘the birth of the church at Pentecost in 31 AD’ to justify the separation between Jewish cursing and Christian blessing.  Whereas they maintain that Galatians 3 effectively does away with Torah, just the opposite is true, as may be seen from Galatians 3: 1 & 10 (KJV): ‘O Foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth(according to Psalm 119: 42 Torah is truth[2]), before whose eyes Yahshua Messiah hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?  (10)For as many as are (not) of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, “Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.”The first part of verse 10 lacks the word notinserted in brackets, as issupported by reading the rest of the verse. All Galatians 3 is saying, is when Yahshua was crucified for our past sins, He replaced the sacrificial law, by becoming the Sacrifice for ours sins, which used to be our tutor until Messiah came (as per verses 23 & 24). So the only part of the Law that Yahshua abolished was the Sacrificial Law in respect of sin as we read from verses 17 – 19, in this way:‘What I am saying is this; the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by G-d, so as to nullify the promise. (18) For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but G-d has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise. (19) Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed should come to whom the promise had been made.’Even, so He did not nullify the promise through Abraham that all his male descendants should be circumcised at eight days old to inherit their portion of the Promised Land, by abolishing the Sacrificial Law in respect of sin, which came 430 years later, after the sin of the golden calf. We need to be mindful the HASHEM made a two part promise to Abraham; firstly, that those members of the children of Jacob who will remain faithful to HASHEM by keeping the Torah, will inherit the Promised Land eternally – meaning they will inherit eternal life to be able to dwell in the Promised Land forever, provided they circumcise their male offspring at age eight days old, as a perpetual sign of the covenant. The second part of the promise to Abraham was that HASHEM would bring back those descendants of Jacob who would be scattered into the world because of Idolatry, back to the covenant that they made together with their Jewish Brothers, with HASHEM at Mount Sinai, through Abraham’s one seed, Yahshua (Galatians 3: 16), through whom He would eventually save the rest of mankind, after Messiah’s millennial rule during the 100 year period (as per Isaiah 65: 17 – 20) of the Great White Throne judgment.

Taken to its false and illogical conclusion, if the church (Rome or Esau) is the ‘new Israel’ then they are the rightful owners of the Promised Land and not the Jews and the other children of Jacob. It was for that very reason that the Roman Church established the Muslim faith as witnessed in the recent paper by an ex-Jesuit priest Dr. Alberto Rivera testifying how the Roman Church started Islam to hassle the Jewish people and to develop Jerusalem as a Catholic city. If your Jewish/Israelite blood is boiling by now, welcome to our Nazarene Jewish faith. In Protestant circles (a phrase derived from the word Circe – the name of a Greek goddess written as ‘Kirke’ from which the word churchis also derived) and even in some Messianic Jewish circles, the eternal promise of the Promised Land to all 12 tribes of Israel is often referred to as the Palestinian Land Covenant. Yes, despite the living reality of the modern state of Israel, many in the ‘church’ have, and continue to refer to Israel as Palestine, named after the descendants of the Palestinians who were the enemies of Israel. We need to realize that it is even today the Pope’s intention to move the Vatican the Catholic Church headquarters to Jerusalem.  However, we need to understand once for all, that when HASHEM talks about Jerusalem, it is a literal city, and when He talks about the nation of Israel, He is talking about all twelve tribes. When He talks about the house of Judah, He means the Jews who are presently occupying some of the Promised Land and some who are still living in countries throughout the world. Obviously, we who have been called out of the churches of the world are the lost sheep of the house of Israel and some real Gentiles, who are now, during the latter days, returning to HASHEM through Abraham’s one seed Yahshua. To incorrectly teach that these are all interchangeable terms for the so-called Christian Church is an outright assault on the infallibility of the Scriptures as the word of G-d.

As Nazarene Israelites and watchmen appointed on the walls of Jerusalem, it is our duty to get rid of all vestiges of replacement theology in our lives.It is replacement theology and the church’s Satanic false doctrine that good people go to heaven, and evil people will be doomed to burn in an eternal hell fire, that keeps the bride,the commonwealth of Israel made up of the house of Judah and the house of Israel, who are presently scattered into the nations of the world, and who claim to be Christians away from the bridegroom. It is for this reason that we are in fact commanded to come out of the false churches of the world by Yahshua Himself in Revelation 18: 4 & 5 saying: ‘And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues; (5) for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and G-d has remembered her iniquities.”’ If those who remain in the churches of the world keep partaking of her false festivals year after year, they will receive of the plagues promised in verse 4 of Revelation 18. We need to correct the problem by showing that replacement theology is powered by a false belief system claiming via various teachings that the ‘church’ is the New Covenant bride of HASHEM (these claims are also made by the Assemblies of HASHEM and Churches of God), when the Scriptures talk over and over about the commonwealth of Israel made up of the house of Judah and the house of Israel in both the Tanach and the Renewed Covenant. Fact is HASHEM cannot have two brides and as He clearly stated in Jeremiah 31: 31 – 33 (also quoted by Rav Shaul in Hebrews 8: 6 – 12) He is going to remarry His bride made up of the house of Judah and the house of Israel, saying: “Behold, days are coming,” declares HASHEM, “When I will make a new (marriage) covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, (32) not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares HASHEM. (33) But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,’ declares HASHEM, “I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their G-d, and they shall be My people.”’ Because the house of Judah kept Torah all along HASHEM will only write His Torah on the hearts and minds of the house of Israel. Nevertheless, only members of the twelve tribes and a number of Gentiles who have become part of Israel, because of their faith in the true Torah obedient Messiah will be Messiah’s bride at His return. We also see that even after the Millennium and the Great White Throne Judgment, the New Jerusalem will only have twelve gates, one for each of the twelve tribes. Yes, there will not be a gate for the Presbyterians and another for the Methodists and another for the Apostolic faith mission, as witnessed in Revelation 21: 10 – 13, as follows: ‘And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from G-d, (11) having the glory of G-d. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. (12) It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. (13) There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west.’

HASHEM divorced the house of Israel because of spiritual idolatry – for worshipping a false god who even though he healed the sick and raised the dead, taught them to discard G-d’s commandments, as He warned in Deuteronomy 13: 1 & 2, saying: “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, (2) and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ (3) you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for HASHEM your G-d is testing you to find out if you love HASHEM your G-d with all your heart and with all your soul.”  This is exactly what the C*h*r*i*s*t* or false Messiah did, who Christianity came to believe in, and who will always be a ‘No-no’ to all Jews. HASHEM wants us to remain loyal to Him only, since He does not have more than one bride. If the ‘church’ is a separate entity from Israel (all twelve tribes), then we are faced with aG-d who practices adultery, with two brides called ‘the church’ and the commonwealth of Israel. This would violate the Scriptural principal that HASHEM only has one bride. Once we have determined that HASHEM is not in any shape or form, a confused polygamist, then we can recognize what the Scriptures clearly teaches. Returning Israelites are called to leave behind their fondness of paganism, and return to the covenant relationship we made with G-d, together with our Torah observant Jewish Brothers at Mount Sinai. We need to understand that Yahshua will at His return, join the two houses of Israel once again as He told us through the Prophet Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37: 18 – 25, saying: “And when the sons of your people speak to you saying, ‘Will you not declare to us what you mean by these? (19) say to them, ‘Thus says HASHEMG-d, “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.’ (20) And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.’ (21) And say to them, ‘Thus says HASHEMG-d, “Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; (22)and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms. (23)And they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their G-d. (24)And My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them. (25)And they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons, and their sons’ sons, forever; and David My servant shall be their prince forever.”’

Our people need to be especially careful of those Messianic Jewish congregations involved in trying to get two separate entities to learn how to love, and get along with each other. These two entities with two separate loyalties namely, Jerusalem and Rome, with separate ‘Sabbaths’ and Set-apart Days, with separate ideas about what food is suitable for human consumption, with separate ideas about what happens after we died, with two different kingdoms in mind – one representing light and the other darkness, cannot ever be reconciled! If we are truly sent into the churches of the world, it will not be to get them to love Jews and supporting your ministry, but it will be to call them out of that system, back into the commonwealth of Israel, consisting of the house of Judah and the house of Israel. If you are still of the opinion that Yahshua is only returning to save your little group of Israelites alone, then you need to start reading the book of Zechariah. In Zechariah 3 & 6 it talks about Yahshua the high priest, the Branch who will when He returns rebuild the Temple of G-d, and will at that time heal the bridge between Judah and Israel, when He will take over the spiritual function as Lawgiver (High Priest) from Judah and the crown presently located in Ephraim and rule as our future King and Priest (as per Zechariah 6: 13). In Zechariah 8: 13 we read: ‘And it will come about that just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you that you may become a blessing (a model nation that will show the rest of mankind how to live and prosper, serving HASHEM our G-d).’ In Zechariah 8: 19 – 23, HASHEM says through Zechariah: ‘Thus says HASHEM of hosts, “The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh; and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.” (20) Thus says HASHEM of hosts, “It will yet be that peoples will come, even the inhabitants of many cities. (21) And the inhabitants of one will go to another saying, “Let us go at once to entreat the favor of HASHEM, and to seek HASHEM of hosts; I will also go.” (22)So many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek HASHEM of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of HASHEM. (23)Thus says HASHEM of hosts, “In those days ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that G-d is with you.”’ Verse 23 is talking about the remnant of the lost ten tribes, who will ultimately come to understand that the Jews always knew the one and only G-d, and that Christianity was deceived from the start.

Continuing in Zechariah 9: 11 – 15 we read about what will happen after Yahshua returned, in this way: ‘As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit (the churches of the world) (12) Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; this very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you. (13) For I will bend Judah as My bow, I will fill the bow with Ephraim. And I will stir up your sons, O Zion(the house of Judah and the house of Israel who returned to the covenant relationship with HASHEM, through Yahshua), against your sons, O Greece (Catholic Rome); And I will make you like a warrior’s sword. (14)Then HASHEM will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; and HASHEMG-d will blow the trumpet, and will march in the storm winds of the south. (15)HASHEM of hosts will defend them. And they will devour, and trample on the sling stones; and they will drink, and be boisterous as with wine; and they will be filled like a sacrificial basin, drenched like the corners of the altar.’Next we read from Zechariah 10: 3 - 8, talking about the false teachers whom He will punish and the fact that Judah is His flock, and Yahshua the cornerstone who will play a major part in the salvation of all Israel, saying: ‘My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; for HASHEM of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like His majestic horse in battle. (4) From them will come the cornerstone, from them the tent peg, from them the bow of battle, from them every ruler, all of them together.(5)And they will be as mighty men, treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle; and they will fight, for HASHEM will be with them; and the riders on horses will be put to shame. (6)And I shall strengthen the house of Judah, and I shall save the house of Joseph, and I shall bring them back, because I have had compassion on them; and they will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am HASHEM their G-d, and I will answer them. (7)And Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will be glad as if from wine; indeed, their children will see it and be glad, their heart will rejoice in HASHEM. (8)I will whistle for them to gather them together, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they were before.’

Next we read about the fact that HASHEM will save the tents of Judah first, at the time when Yahshua the Messiah is coming to fight against the nations, who will during the time of the end of this age surround Jerusalem to fight the returning Messiah, from Zechariah 12: 7 – 10, as follows:‘HASHEM also will save the tents of Judah first in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah. (8) In that day HASHEM will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like G-d, like the angel of HASHEM before then. (9) And it will come about in that day that I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. (10) And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born.’Our Jewish brothers are presently blinded to the identity of Yahshua the Messiah, but as we can see here, they will accept Him as their Messiah at His return, when they see His nail scarred hands and He saves them by grace and supplication. That is according to Romans 11: 15 when the dead in Messiah will be resurrected as witnessed in this way: “For if their rejection be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?’

Finally we read more about Messiah’s return in Zechariah 14: 1 – 9, as follows:‘Behold, a day is coming for HASHEM when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. (2)For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. (3)Then HASHEM will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. (4)And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in the front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. (5)And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then HASHEM, my G-d, will come, and all the holy ones with Him! (6)And it will come about in that day that there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle. (7)For it will be a unique day which is known to HASHEM, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light. (8)And it will come about in that day that living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter. (9)And HASHEM will be king over all the earth; in that day HASHEMwill be the only one, and His name the only one.’Because of their aversion to the Torah in particular and the Tanach in general, Christianity are totally oblivious of what Zechariah prophesied to happen during the soon coming end of the age. If only their teachers put aside the false doctrines they inherited from Rome or Esau who have taken the lost ten tribes captive for almost two thousand years, or two days according to (HASHEM)’s way of looking at time and as Hosea prophesied about Yahshua in Hosea 5: 15, saying: ‘I will go away and return to My place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction (during the great tribulation) they will earnestly seek Me.’

We from the lost sheep of the house of Israel need to realize the only way to get rid of replacement theology is to proclaim the good news about the soon coming Kingdom of G-d, when Yahshua the Messiah will come to remarry His bride to become His queen and to rule beside Him during His millennial rule and beyond. Hosea 1: 11 reminds us that the day of Jezreel will come to an end when the 10 lost tribes will join their Jewish Brothers on  the mountains of Israel, when Messiah will return and be appointed their King and High Priest. The last days revelation of the restoration of both houses of Israel, will allow returnees from the lost ten tribes to see their Jewish Brothers in a different light, but it will also let our Jewish Brothers begin to see us as being part and partial of the commonwealth of Israel. Where will you be when the two houses of Israel come together into a single flock through Messiah’s life giving blood? Do you still prefer the replacement theology of Christianity, where you will go to heaven at death, or will you be ruling side by side with Yahshua as His future bride? The choice remains yours! But as Joshua said to the tribes of Israel in Joshua 24; 14 – 16: ‘Now, therefore, fear HASHEM and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve HASHEM. (15)And if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve HASHEM, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which is beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve HASHEM. (16)And the people answered and said, “Far be it from us that we should forsake HASHEM to serve other gods.’

This all might sound like old news to most of us, but it is good to remind ourselves at this time when most Christians from the lost ten tribes of Israel are planning to celebrate a pagan festival instituted by the Pope, but also the time when our Jewish Brothersfought against assimilation and paganism during the time of the Maccabees – the reason why we keep Chanukah with them. Think about It!

[2]Psalm 119: 142, ‘Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is truth.’
