The two Messiahs.

 

Ancient Rabbinic Literature spoke about two Messiah’s that was to come; the first being the suffering Messiah who would suffer for the sins of His people Israel in fulfillment of Scriptural prophecies in Isaiah 53 and Zechariah 9: 9. In fact Zechariah 9: 9 & 10 is about both Messiah’s first and second advents, as follows: ‘Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. (10)And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the bow of war will be cut off. And He will speak peace to the nations; and His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River (Euphrates) to the ends of the earth.’ The Messiah you and I came to believe in, is accordingly known in Rabbinic Literature as Messiah Ben (the son of) Joseph, because his suffering is compared to that of Jacob’s son, Joseph, who suffered at the hands of his brothers, but afterwards forgave them. The second Messiah known as Messiah Ben Davidis the Messiah who will fulfill all the prophecies regarding the kingly Messiah and bring victory over all the oppressors of Israel.

 

Messiah the son of Joseph is also referred to in some accounts as Messiah the son of Ephraim after Joseph’s son Ephraim and is in fact the suffering servant often mentioned in ancient rabbinical literature. The reason for calling the Messiah the son of Joseph is not hard to understand, as Joseph’s life was one of an innocent sufferer who was initially betrayed by his own people, only to gain their acceptance later upon their second visit to Egypt, as recorded in Genesis 45: 1 – 7 & 15, in this way: ‘Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, “Have everyone go out from me.” So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. (2) And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard of it. (3) Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence. (4) Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me.” And they came closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. (5) And now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for Elohim sent me before you to preserve life. (6) For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. (7) And Elohim sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.” (15)And he (Joseph) kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and afterwards his brothers talked with him.’We see from the book of John that when Messiah, who was the Word of Elohim, before YHVH specially prepared a body for Him, to become our kinsmen redeemer as the Son of Man (born in human flesh as a Jew), to redeem us from our sins and to buy back the property the lost sheep of  the house of Israel lost in the Promised Land because of idolatry, but also to bring a remnant of the lost ten tribes back to the covenant both houses made with the Father at Mount Sinai, as was also prophesied about Him in Isaiah 49: 5 &6, as follows: ‘And now says YHVH, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, in order that Israel might be gathered to Him (for I am honored in the sight of YHVH, and My Elohim is My strength), (6) He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel (during His first advent); I will also make You a light of the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth (during His second advent).”’

 

Because Messiah did not come for the Jews at His first coming, even though He came to His own people, they did not receive Him (as recorded in John 1: 11). But, before we become our usual critical selves and verbalize falsehoods about the Jews, let’s understand once for all  that it was all in accordance with Elohim’s plan of salvation for all mankind, as attested by Rav Shaul in first Corinthians 2: 1 – 8, saying: ‘And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of Elohim. (2) For I determined to know nothing among you except Yahshua Messiah, and Him crucified. (3) And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.(4) And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (5) that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of Elohim[1](6) Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; (7) but we speak Elohim’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which Elohim predestined before the ages to our glory; (8) the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Master of glory.’ If the authorities in Messiah’s time knew who He truly was, they would not have killed Him and as a result He our Creator would not have died for our trespasses, leaving us in our sins. Do you now understand that our Jewish Brothers were blinded to Messiah’s identity whilst He was on earth, for our benefit?Let me explain in greater detail; by now most of us are aware that the Set-apart Spirit better known as Elohim’s divine nature or Shekinahis necessary to indwell human beings, for us to inherit eternal life. We also know from Acts 5: 32 that our Jewish brothers obtain the Set-apart Spirit by obedience to Torah, as follows: “And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Set-apart Spirit, whom Elohim has given to those who obey Him.” Yahshua also confirmed this when He 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?”  Yahshua answered 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 YHVH YOUR ELOHIM 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.”

 

However, because we from the lost sheep of the house of Israel who have lost our identity, the covenant relationship we made with Elohim at Mount Sinai and have therefore forgotten that sin is the transgression of Torah, we can only obtain the Set-apart Spirit as Rav Kepha explained to the returnees from the house of Israel in Acts 2: 36 – 39 saying: “Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that Elohim has made Him both Master and Messiah—this Yahshua who you crucified (by your disobedience to Torah).(37) Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Kepha and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brethren, what shall we do?’(38) And Kepha said to them, ‘Repent, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Yahshua Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit.  (39) For the promise(to return to YHVH through Messiah Yahshua) is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, as many as YHVH our Elohim shall call to Himself.’”The phrase ‘far off’ is part of the secrets that YHVH told the Prophet Daniel that will only be revealed during the end time in Daniel 12: 4 and was in fact only fully realized during the past 10 – 15 years.  Daniel used the phrase ‘far off’ during his prayer immediately prior to the return of the house of Judah to Jerusalem after their 70 year captivity in Babylon in Daniel 9: 7, where he said: “Righteousness belongs to Thee, O Adonai, but to us open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which Thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against Thee.” The underlined section in verse 39 clearly shows that we should only immerse returnees from the house of Israel whom Elohim calls during this age and not Jews.With all this in mind, If Messiah was not killed by the authorities at the time of His crucifixion, we from the house of Israel would have lost our only opportunity to obtain eternal life, as Yahshua explained to His disciples in John 16: 4 – 7, saying: “But these things I have spoken to you, that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. (5) But now I am going to Him who sent me; and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ (6) But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.  (7) But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” The Set-apart Spirit is the necessary agent to finally give us eternal life, provided we qualify when Messiah comes to rule the world from Jerusalem, as Rav Shaul explains in Romans 8: 11, saying: ‘But if the Spirit of Him who raised Yahshua from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Messiah Yahshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.’

 

When Josephs brothers came to Egypt the second time, Joseph saved the future nation of Israel when he was recognized for who he was, namely the king’s second in command in Egypt, but unbelievably also their brother. Similarly, when Messiah became the Son of Man, He also became (YHVH)’s second in charge, but also our kinsmen redeemer. Messiah Ben Joseph, like Joseph came the first time to bring us back to the faith of our fathers in the faith, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but also to Brother Judah. Obviously Joseph’s brothers were quite shocked to see that the brother they had sold into slavery and which they thought must have died by then, was Elohim’s agent for their salvation. In fact Joseph himself later told his brothers in Genesis 50: 20 & 21, saying: ‘“And as for you, you meant evil against me, but Elohim meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.(21) So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.’ If we compare the life of Joseph with that of Yahshua our Messiah, we see that it in fact parallels the life of Yahshua.  Yahshua’s life perfectly matches the very detail of Joseph’s prophetic foreshadowing of Messiah. Considering their lives, we notice that Joseph was sold as a slave by his brothers for twenty shekels of silver, as recorded in Genesis 37: 28, in this way: ‘Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. Thus they brought Joseph into Egypt.’ Yahshua understood and explained to His disciples exactly how He will die  in Luke 18: 31 – 33, saying: “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. (32) For He will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon, (33) and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again.”

 

We read from Matthew 27: 3 – 10, that Yahshua was betrayed for the price of a slave, namely thirty shekels of silver and handed to the Romans, just as Joseph was handed to the Ishmaelites, as follows:‘Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, (4) saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to that yourself!”(5) And he threw the pieces of silver into the sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. (6) And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.” (7) And they counseled together and with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. (8) For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. (9) Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “AND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel; (10)AND THEY GAVE THEM FOR THE POTTERS’ FIELD, AS YHVH DIRECTED ME.” It was the Sadducees who encouraged Judas to ensure Yahshua’s arrest in Matthew 26. The Sadducee priestly court was a puppet of the Roman Empire and met to rule on a capital case of Yahshua at night (as per John 18: 12 – 24), which was in fact illegal according to Torah Law.They met on the eve of Pesach, a major Jewish holy day, which would not have been the case of a Torah obedient court. The Sadducees are also the ones who had Messiah’s disciples arrested as recorded in Acts 5: 17, as follows:‘But the high priest rose up, along with all his associates (that is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.’ Since the title Messiah means ‘anointed king’, a Messianic king was a political reality in the minds of the Romans and it was the kingship issue for which Yahshua was finally convicted by the Roman collaborating court comprising completely of Sadducees.

 

Even so, Yahshua was perceived by many as an unimportant person who met with misfortune resulting in His death, as His own people conspired against Him as is recorded in John 19: 15, in this way:‘They therefore cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”’ Yahshua was betrayed to the Romans by a few corrupt Sadducee priests representing the Jewish people, while even a number of Gentiles have since become aware of His sovereignty.In the same way Joseph was considered to be unimportant and dead by his own family as recorded in Genesis 42: 36, as follows:‘And their father Jacob said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.”’Joseph’s coat of many colors, dipped in the blood of a goat, symbolized his death. Prior to His impalement, Yahshua’s clothes were stripped from Him and as a result of His beatings before His trial, were soaked in blood. Joseph’s brothers really believed that he died when they said in Genesis 44: 20, “And we said to my lord, ‘We have an old father and a little child of his old age. Now his brother is dead, so he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.’”

 

Joseph was made second in charge by Pharaoh in Egypt and the Egyptians (Gentiles) enjoyed his reign as we read from Genesis 41: 39 – 43, as follows: ‘So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since Elohim has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are. (40) You shall be over my house, and according to your command all my people shall do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you.” (41) And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” (42) Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the gold necklace around his neck. (43)And he had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Egypt.’ At Yahshua’s first coming He was a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to His people, but the ancient prophets predicted that He will save His people (the united Israel) from their adversaries and the rest of the inhabitants of the world from self-destruction, as is recorded amongst other in Ezekiel 38: 19 – 23, in this way: “And in My zeal and in My blazing wrath I declare that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. (20) And the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. (21)And I shall call for a sword against him on all My Mountains,” declares YHVH Elohim. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. (22) And with pestilence and with blood I shall enter into judgment with him; and I shall rain on him, and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, with hailstones, fire, and brimstone. (23) And I shall magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am YHVH.” The prophet Daniel wrote about Yahshua the Messiah in Daniel 7: 13 & 14, saying: “I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven one like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. (14) And to Him was given dominion, glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.”

 

Prior to keeping the Passover and His subsequent impalement, Yahshua said to the religious leaders in Matthew 23: 34 – 39, “Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, (35) that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. (36) Truly I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation. (37) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. (38) Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! (39) For I say to you, from now on you shall not see me until you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF YHVH!’”What Yahshua foretold in verse 39 will occur very soon now, in a graphically portrayed family reunion predicted in the book of Zechariah 12: 9 - 15, five centuries before the birth of Messiah, in this way: “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. (11) In that day there will be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo. (12) And the land will mourn, every family by itself; the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; (13) the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; (14) all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.” The sorrow and the unprecedented repentance that will follow when they see Yahshua’s hands and realize that they and indeed all of us were responsible for the death of the King of kings and the Master of masters, will have no precedent in our history. All of us will tangibly experience divine rescue out of hopeless despair at that time, but as we read from verse 7 of Zechariah 12, “YHVH 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.”

 

The Jews do not know the identity of the true Messiah at this time, but will get to meet Him when He returns one day on Yom Teruah (or Rosh Hashanah), to find those who are still keeping Elohim’s Feast Days in their synagogues. YHVH is blinding their minds at present, to allow a remnant of the lost ten tribes, who used to believe that they were Gentiles, plus a number of real Gentiles to return to the covenant relationship which they entered into at Mount Sinai. Once the required number of returnees have been fulfilled, those from the house of Judah will realize who He is for the first time, but this will also be the time when all Israel (both houses) will be saved as is recorded in Romans 11: 25 – 27. Brother Judah will not only be introduced to Yahshua our Messiah and Savior, but will also meet us from the lost ten tribes, face to face. So just as Joseph’s brothers did not realize who he was until they visited him a ‘second time’, so will Judah get to know Yahshua at His second coming. We see from Genesis 45: 1, that when Joseph’s brothers met him, they were terrified as he cried, but then accepted him, as follows: ‘Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, “Have everyone go out from me.” So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.’Yahshua will return to Israel to save them from destruction by the armies of Gog and Magog, as prophesied by Ezekiel, just as Joseph saved his family from destruction by a world-wide famine. At that time Yahshua will be known as Messiah the son of David.He will have fulfilled His role of saving the world from total annihilation by nuclear war, as their mighty King and Savior, just as David was. Yahshua suffered rejection by His own brothers, whilst He was recognized by those whowere not a nation any longer – those who lost their identity, their language and religion and think that they are Gentiles. Joseph similarly was rejected by his own, only to be received as a ruler in Egypt.

 

Pharaoh made Joseph a ruler only second to him in Egypt and called him by a new name, as we read from Genesis 41: 45, in this way: ‘Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.’  Pharaoh called Joseph Zaphenath-paneah’ which had a double meaning (one in Hebrew meaning ’revealer of secrets’and the other in Egyptian meaning ‘G-d speaks; he lives’), because of Joseph’s (Elohim given) ability to interpret dreams. Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams also convinced Pharaoh to allow Him to plant and store food during the next seven years of abundance, which saved the Egyptians and others, including Joseph’s family during the following seven years of famine. Amos the prophet prophesied about another world-wide famine soon to occur in this world, as we read from Amos 8: 11 & 12, as follows: “Behold, days are coming,” declares YHVH Elohim, “When I will send a famine on the land, not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, but rather for hearing the words of YHVH. (12) And people will stagger from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will go to and fro to seek the word of YHVH, but they will not find it.” We also see from verse 14 of Amos 8, that the false religion of the Northern Ten Tribes will also not be able to save them at that time, in this way:“As for those who swear by the guilt of Samaria (the house of Israel who used to live in Samaria), who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall and not rise again.” The reference to Samaria and Dan here, reminds us about Jeroboam, when he ruled over Israel and built two golden calves for the Nation of Israel to worship; one in Dan and the other in Bethel.  Jeroboam led the kingdom of Israel into idolatry and as a result they were dispersed throughout the world and are today referred to as the lost ten tribes of Israel. But we see that during the time of the famine of the word of Elohim, their false religion will not provide sustenance to true believers, either.

 

Since the six day war of 1973, when the nation of Israel in the middle-east was attacked by the Arab nations around themon Yom Kippur, a number of Jews (mainly from the tribe of Benjamin) miraculously started believing in Yahshua as the true Messiah, but the majority of Jews will only do so when He returns one day. Today the Rabbis and laymen in Judah do not like to be told about the belief in the two Messiah’s in ancient rabbinical literature, but this is about to change in the near future and some of us will be alive to witness it.At this time Judah is fully aware of their past sins, as well as all their sufferings as a result thereof and are presently keeping the Law because it is in their documentation and since YHVH has written their sins on their hearts; they obey Torah because of fear of persecution, as we read from Jeremiah 17: 1, as follows: ‘The sin of Judah is written down with an iron stylus; with a diamond point it is engraved upon the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars.’ When Yahshua returns, YHVH will enter into a new marriage covenant with both the house of Judah and the house of Israel as witnessed in Jeremiah 31: 31- 33, in this way: “’Behold, days are coming,’ declares YHVH, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with 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 YHVH. (33) ‘But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after that day,’ declares YHVH, ‘I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.’”YHVH will only write the Torah on the hearts of the house of Israel, showing clearly that the house of Judah remained Torah observant since their return from Babylon about 2,500 years ago. But we also see that eventually, after observing the positive example set by the united nation of Israel during the beginning days of the millennium, all nations will eventually start following Elohim’s way, as witnessed in Isaiah 2: 2 – 4, as follows: “Now it will come about that in the last days, the mountain (government) of the house of YHVH will be established as the chief of the mountains, and will be raised above the hills; and all the nations will stream to it.(3) And many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the Elohim of Jacob; that He may teach us concerning His ways, and that we may walk in His paths. For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem.’(4) And He will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples; and they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war.”

 

Today Yahshua might be referred to as the ‘G-d of the Gentiles’, but at His second coming, everything will change. Yahshua will return as Messiah Ben David to save His people from their adversaries; He will then fulfill His role of the King of Israel and indeed the whole world.  Similar to the way in which Joseph ruled and saved Egypt from famine, Yahshua will fulfill His role as ruler of the world, who will save us from self-annihilation; that is when our Jewish Brothers will like Thomas see His pierced hands and exclaim: “My Master and My Elohim!” Once the Jews accept Yahshua as their Messiah, the dead in Messiah will be resurrected, as Rav Shaul wrote in Romans 11: 15, saying: ‘For if their rejection be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?’This is as explained in 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 – 17, as follows: ‘But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. (14) For if we believe that Yahshua died and rose again, even so Elohim will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Yahshua. (15) For this we say to you by the word of HASHEM, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Master, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. (16) For the Master Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of Elohim; and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. (17) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Master.’ This will also be the time when we will meet Messiah on the Mount of Olives at His return, as the two angels explained to Messiah’s disciples when he was resurrected 40 days after His death and resurrection, in Acts 1: 9 – 11, saying: ‘And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. (10) And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them;  (11) and they also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Yahshua, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” It is at that time that the first-fruits among Elohim’s children will be born again as Spiritual children of Elohim to rule with Yahshua during the Millennium and beyond as recorded in Revelation 20: 4 – 6, as follows:“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Yahshua and because of the word of Elohim, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.(5) The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will  be priests of Elohim and of Messiah and will reign with Him for a thousand years.”

 

To conclude I would like to announce that I recently published four of the most radical books someone ever dared to published  on Amazon.com, which I believe contain information which both houses of Israel should read as we both have certain areas that need clarification before we will  be able to finally get together as the commonwealth of Israel to be ruled by King David once again. Both houses need to understand that J*e*s*u*s* C*h*r*i*s*t* portrait by Christianity for the past 2000 years is definitely not the Messiah who is coming to rule the world from Jerusalem. Whereas Jews already believe in the coming of a Messiah to bring the lost sheep of the house of Israel back to the commonwealth of Israel, to rebuild the Temple and reinstitute Torah obedience, those from the house of Israel who still believe that they are nothing but Gentiles need to discover their true identity and return to the covenant our Father made with us, together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai. It is time for both houses to understand that the Tabernacle of David which has fallen, otherwise known as the kingdom of Elohim over the commonwealth of Israel, cannot be rebuilt, before we come together as one nation in our Father’s hand asElohim explained through Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37: 21 – 24, in this way: “And say to them, ‘Thus says YHVH Elohim, “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 Elohim. (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.”Let’s therefore decide to do everything in our power to help facilitate that fantastic event to happen in the near future. Halleluyah!

 

 

[1]Rav Shaul reveals the wisdom and power of Elohim In first Corinthians 1: 18 – 31, and especially verses 22– 24, saying: ‘For indeed Jews ask for signs, and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Messiah crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim.’
