108 Teachers in the house of Israel are

Teachers in the house of Israel are warned.

We commence reading Isaiah’s cautionary message aimed at Elohim’s people prior to Messiah’s return in the near future in Isaiah 56: 1 & 2, saying: ‘Thus says YHVH, “Preserve justice, and do righteousnes, for My salvation is about to come and My righteousness to be revealed. (2) How blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who takes hold of it; who keeps from profaning the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” There is not even a hint in all of the Scriptures that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday. Instead it was the work of Constantine after he became a Christian, who enacted it into church law in 325 CE. The Tanach refers to the Sabbath as a perpetual (everlasting) sign which identifies the people of Elohim, as witnessed amongst other in Exodus 31: 12, 13, 16 & 17, in this way: ‘And YHVH spoke to Moses saying, (13) “But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall surely observe My Sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am YHVH who sanctifies you. (16) So the sons of Israel shall observe the Sabbath, to celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.’ (17) “It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days YHVH made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”’

The churches of the world somehow do not understand the word ‘perpetual’ and believe that their savior changed even the meaning of the word of perpetual meaning forever, by replacing the so-called ‘Old Testament’ with the ‘New Testament’, which according to them replaced the only Scriptures available during Messiah’s time, namely the Tanach. We need to be mindful that Messiah spoke about the Tanach when He said about His disciples (including us His modern day disciples), in prayer to the Father in John 17: 17, “Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth.” It is an historical fact that the writings of the Nazarenes, known as the ‘Kituvim Netzarim’ - the section of the Scriptures that Churchianity refers to as the ‘New Testament’, was written a number of years after Messiah’s resurrection and ascension to heaven. Messiah definitely did not change His mind after His ascension to heaven, as may be clearly seen from Hebrews 13: 8 in this way: ‘Yahshua Messiah is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.’ What part of perpetual doesn’t Churchianity understand? Many teachers in Christianity say it does not matter which day we keep for worship services, as long as we keep one in seven. However, that is the biggest lie ever and those who teach that will according to Matthew 5: 19, ‘…be called least in the kingdom of heaven.’ Rav Shaul kept the weekly and annual Sabbath’s as may be seen from Acts 9 onward, even after He was trained by Messiah for three years, as witnessed in Acts 9: 22 & 23[1] and Galatians 1: 17 & 18[2]. In fact the early returnees from the lost ten tribes all kept the Sabbath for at least 300 years after Messiah’s resurrection, and other had to do so secretively, since Constantine made Sabbath keeping punishable by death. Protestants who eventually broke away from the Catholic Church, also failed to re-instate the observance of the Sabbath and Feast Days of Elohim specified in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16, and continued to keep the Sabbath and pagan feast days introduced by the Catholic Church, like Xmas and Easter.

Despite this, we read from Isaiah 66: 23 that the Sabbath and Feast Days of Elohim will again be kept during Messiah’s millennial rule, in accordance with the way the House of Judah is doing it presently. We need to ask the question: Did YHVH change His mind on which day we should worship Him? YHVH gives us the answer through the prophet Malachi in Malachi 3: 6, saying: “For I, YHVH, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.” YHVH made a two-fold covenant promise to our father in the faith, Abraham – if Abraham and his descendants through Isaac and Jacob remain faithful to YHVH and obey His commandments, including to circumcise their male offspring at age eight days old, they will one day inherit the Promised Land eternally as Elohim’s children. The second part of the promise was, that if those children of the house of Israel whom YHVH eventually dispersed into the nations because of idolatry, return to the covenant that YHVH made with them, together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai through Abraham’s one seed Yahshua, they will again inherit their portion of the Promised Land that they lost, and will also be given eternal life, at Messiah’s return, provided they also remain faithful. YHVH is busy calling a remnant of the house of Israel, whom He scattered into the world because of idolatry back through Abraham’s one seed Yahshua, and after they have been suitably immersed into Yahshua’s saving name and had the hands of the elders in the congregation laid upon them to receive the Set-apart Spirit, it places them in exactly the same position as our Torah observant Jewish Brothers, meaning they have to continue obeying Torah until their dying day, or when Messiah returns, as confirmed in Galatians 3: 29, in this way: ‘And if you belong to Messiah, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.’ Therefore, when we read the Tanach, we should not any longer refer to it as being something for the Jews only, or having already been fulfilled. That will be a huge mistake, since the warning to the house of Israel in the Tanach and especially the book of Ezekiel, is specifically for us from the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The teachers in Israel should stop being as arrogant as to believe that they have all the truth. It is likely that many believe the way they do because they have been deceived and are simply doing what mainstream Churchianity is doing. But the broad way is not the way that leads to salvation, since safety is definitely not in numbers in this case, as Yahshua Himself testified in Matthew 7: 13 & 14, saying: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. (14) For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”

Fact is if you are not Israel, you are not saved. According to Rav Shaul in Romans 11, the returnees of the lost ten tribes are wild olive branches grafted into the natural olive tree to become partakers of the root (Yahshua). There is no separate entity known as ‘the church’ replacing the house of Israel, after YHVH divorced her because of idolatry. The Greek word ‘Ecclesia’ used a number of times in the writings of the Nazarenes, the ‘Kituvim Netzarim’ simply means ‘called-out believers’, and never refers to a building at all. The house of Elohim or the building was and is even today called a synagogue. This was the place where the original Nazarenes were to receive their teachings as Rav Yaa’cov confirmed in Acts 15: 19 – 21, saying: ‘Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to Elohim from among the Gentiles, (20) but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood. (21) For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.’ So if you are really called-out by YHVH, you are part of the commonwealth of Israel, and will remain so until eternity, as may be seen from Revelation 21: 10 - 13, in this way: ‘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 Elohim, (11) having the glory of Elohim. 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.’ There will be no gates for Churchianity, but there will be a gate for Jews from each of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi as may also be seen from Revelation 7. There will also be 9 other gates for the returnees from the lost ten tribes, whom YHVH is busy calling out of the churches of the world to become part of the commonwealth of Israel once again, but that will be all there is. We read further about the returning tribes of Israel in Ephesians 2: 10 – 18, as follows: ‘For we are His workmanship, created in Messiah Yahshua for good works, which Elohim prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (11) Therefore remember, that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Un-circumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— (12) remember that you were at that time separate from Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without Elohim in the world. (13) But now in Messiah Yahshua you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah. (14) For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, (15) by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing piece, (16) and might reconcile them both in one body to Elohim through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.’ We see from Daniel 9: 7 that the house of Israel are the ones referred to in the Scriptures as being far off, whilst Judah is described as near, in this way: “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 quoted section from Ephesians 2 should settle how a believer becomes part of Israel. In support of this Yahshua said clearly in Matthew 15: 24, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” He also told His disciples the first time He sent them out in Matthew 10: 5 & 6, saying: “Do not go in 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.” The lost sheep of the house of Israel were carried away in the Assyrian captivity more than 700 years before. They were still in dispersion at the time Messiah came to earth the first time. The Apostles definitely did not think the lost tribes of Israel had been re-gathered when they asked Yahshua if He would restore the kingdom of Israel, when He took them with to the Mount of Olives, from where He ascended to heaven forty days after His resurrection (described in Acts 1). We have a witness of the historian Josephus, a contemporary of Yahshua, who wrote that the house of Israel were still scattered at that time and were in vast numbers, which could not be counted. The first letter of Rav Kepha was addressed to them; he referred to them as aliens scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen. We see that Rav Kepha equates these people with scattered Israel (not Judah) of Hosea 1: 9 & 10. The letter of Yaa’cov was written to the 12 tribes which are scattered abroad (James 1: 1). The people that Rav Shaul visited in Corinth were also not Gentiles, since he would not disregard Yahshua’s admonition not to ‘go to the Gentiles.’ Rav Shaul referred to those he taught and visited in Corinth, as brethren in 1 Corinthians 10: 1 and wrote that ‘he would not want them to be unaware, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.’ So we see that these Corinthian brethren were part of the lost sheep of the house of Israel who were once part of the commonwealth of Israel led out of Egypt by the hand of Elohim through Moses. We see further that when Yahshua told those in the Temple that He is going to a place where they will not be able to find Him, the Jews present therefore said to one another in John 7: 35, saying: “Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?” It is clear from these few examples that YHVH planned to preserve the knowledge about Yahshua the Messiah in scattered Israel. Even though Judah did not accept Yahshua as Messiah, since it is part of Elohim’s plan to allow the total number from the lost sheep of the house of Israel, to return before He will save a remnant from both houses as Rav Shaul testified in Romans 11: 25 – 27, 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 (Jewish) 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.” Even though Judah has rejected Yahshua as Messiah at this time, they retained the understanding of the Torah – the oracles of Elohim, which He entrusted to them.

The point is that as the two houses of Israel, we need what each other to be complete. It is almost like a husband and wife. This is what YHVH has planned ever since the commonwealth of Israel asked Him for a king to rule over them. He planned to bring the two sticks (or olive trees) together into the kingdom under Messiah Yahshua during His millennial rule, as prophesied by Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37. It cannot be made much clearer that when YHVH calls us from the lost sheep of Israel out of the churches of the world to return to Him through Yahshua the Messiah, we become part of the commonwealth of Israel once again. Let’s now go back to Isaiah 56, where we started, reading from verses 3 – 12, as follows: ‘Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to YHVH say, “YHVH will surely separate me from His people.” Neither let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.” (4) For thus says YHVH, “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths (weekly and annual), and choose what pleases Me, and hold fast My covenant, (5) to them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial, and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off. (6) Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHVH, to minister to Him, and to love the name of YHVH, to be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant; (7) even those I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples. (8) YHVH Elohim, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.” (9) All you beasts of the field, all you beasts in the forest, come to eat. (10) His watchmen are blind, all of them know nothing. All of them are dumb dogs unable to bark, dreamers lying down, who love to slumber; (11) and the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied. And they are shepherds (teachers or Pastors) who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each one to his unjust gain, to the last one. (12) “Come,” they say, “let us get wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink; and tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”’ This is telling us that those who do not believe in the coming kingdom of Elohim, but more so the great tribulation and Day of YHVH to punish those in the world who refuse to change their ways, are in for a nasty surprise not many years from now. These are the people whom Rav Kepha warned us about in 2 Peter 3: 3 & 4, saying: ‘Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, (4) and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”

We see the much harsher warning for those who continue in their lust for all sorts of scripturally forbidden meats in Isaiah 66: 15 – 17, in this way: ‘For behold, YHVH will come in fire and His chariots like the whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. (16) For YHVH will execute judgment by fire and by His sword on all flesh, and those slain by YHVH will be many. (17) “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the center, who eat swine’s flesh, detestable things (like lean Ostrich meat), and mice, shall come to an end altogether,” declares YHVH.’ These are the ones who pronounce themselves sanctified and holy, but in the meantime they are pork eaters. Teachers of Israel, does this bother you at all? If you truly teach from the word of Elohim, you will understand why YHVH is coming to destroy these pork eaters and to stop giving their Xmas ham a free pass. Or do you believe you are soon going to be raptured with your belly full of unclean foods? In case you are not sure what is an abomination to YHVH, kindly read Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, where it is explained in detail. We see from verses 19 – 23 of Isaiah 66 that those from the lost ten tribes of Israel, who have been in captivity by Esau or more specifically the Roman Church system for about 1800 years, and have now returned to a covenant relationship they made with YHVH, together with the house of Israel at Mount Sinai, will again serve YHVH together with the house of Judah (or the Jews), as follows: “And I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Rosh, Tubal, and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations. (20) Then they shall bring all you brethren from all the nations as a grain offering (meaning first fruits) to YHVH, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says YHVH, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of YHVH. (21) I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites,” says YHVH. (We are clearly told that there will be survivors of the lost ten tribes who will have returned to YHVH, and He will send them to the survivors among the Gentile nations to declare His glory amongst them. Thereafter the Gentile nations will bring the first fruit Israelites to Yahshua’s government in Jerusalem, to become priests and Levites in service to YHVH.) (22) For just as the new heavens and the new earth which I make will endure before Me,” declares YHVH, “So your offspring and your name will endure. (23) And it shall be from new moon (Hebrew month) to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all mankind will come to bow down before Me,” says YHVH.’ Clearly, those teachers and Pastors who teach their flock it’s OK to eat unclean foods are in for deep trouble with the Almighty. Notice also verse 23, does not say they will worship Elohim from Sunday to Sunday. You may lightly dismiss this, but failure to keep Elohim’s ordained Sabbath was one of the main reasons the house of Israel was sent into worldwide dispersion.

Pastors, teachers, evangelists or whatever else you call yourselves, do you observe the Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread, when the house of Judah, who has the oracles of Elohim keep it, as YHVH commands in Leviticus 23? Or do you have an Easter sunrise service and sponsor an Easter egg hunt for the children? This is called an abomination in Ezekiel 8: 15 & 16. Those who are looking forward to ‘hot cross buns’ on Easter, should question where this pagan tradition came from; perhaps if they know they will stop teaching it to their children. It can be found in Jeremiah 7: 18, where the women made cakes of raisins for the pagan Queen of Heaven, and where YHVH warns in verses 19 & 20, saying: “Do they spite me? Declares YHVH. “Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?” (20) Therefore thus says YHVH Elohim, “Behold, My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and on beast and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be quenched.” Do you celebrate Xmas? Do you realize that Yahshua was not born on December the 25th, but it is the traditional birth date of Deus Sol Invictus, the sun god Mithras? When Constantine merged paganism with Christianity, he declared December 25 to be the birth date of the Messiah. The Romans readily accepted it, since they already worshipped a god born on that date. The only thing that changed for them was the name of this god and they must love the name pronounced EeSous or EeZeus. Do you bring an evergreen tree into your homes to decorate it for ‘your children’ at the date Constantine declared to be Messiah’s birth date? We also read a warning in this regard in Jeremiah 10: 1 – 5, as follows: ‘Hear the word which YHVH speaks to you, O house of Israel (not the house of Judah, since they do not have a pagan custom like that). (2) Thus says YHVH, “Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens although the nations are terrified of them; (3) for the customs of the peoples are delusion; because it is wood cut from the forest, the work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. (4) They decorate it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it will not totter (move). (5) Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, nor can they do any good.” I remember showing these verses to someone and she said to me, at least verse 5 says it can do no harm. The house of Israel have been in captivity for too long and do not even understand what YHVH is showing us in His word, as Jeremiah wrote in verse 25 of Jeremiah 10, saying: “Pour out Thy wrath on the nations that do not know Thee, and on the families that do not call Thy name; for they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.” Xmas was officially adopted by Christians in the fifth century CE on the sole authority of the Catholic Church.

Does it matter to Elohim which festivals you and your household obey; you who call yourself a Christian descendant from Europe or the United Kingdom? It is because you as a former member of the lost ten tribes scattered into mainly the west, have forgotten your culture, your faith and your language, and became like the nations of the world, that you are unaware of your heritage and that the Tanach including the Kituvim Netzarim was written for you specifically. If you only begin to realize that, you will start studying the prophecies contained in both sections of the Scriptures available to you, and start responding positively to YHVH and His commandments. It is then that you will heed the warnings in the Scriptures realizing that many of the prophecies addressed to the house of Israel are aimed at us, the lost sheep of the house of Israel who are alive during these end times. It is then that you will understand what YHVH meant in Deuteronomy 12: 29 – 32, saying: “When YHVH your Elohim cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, (30) beware that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise? (31) You shall not behave thus toward YHVH your Elohim, for every abominable act which YHVH hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. (How many young people from the lost sheep of the house of Israel, who have children because of fornication, do abortions and have those children burnt?) (32) Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it.” Teachers, pastors and those who are leading your people spiritually, heed the words King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 28: 9 & 10, saying: ‘He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his prayer is an abomination. (10) He who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit good.” Those of us descended from European ancestors have inherited many falsehoods from our fathers. If you have a love for truth, you and I will turn away from those falsehoods we inherited and return to YHVH as returnees from the lost tribes of Israel, who are getting back to the covenant relationship we made with Him at Mount Sinai, when our ancient forefathers met there with the house of Judah, to receive the oracles from Elohim. But, Jeremiah wrote a prophecy about a time when YHVH will again bring those of us who are living like strangers in a foreign land back, like He did our ancient forefathers from Egypt, saying: in Jeremiah 16: 14 – 21: “Therefore behold, days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As YHVH lives. Who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ (15) but, ‘As YHVH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.’ For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers. (16) Behold, I am going to send for many fishermen,” declares YHVH, “and they will fish for them; and afterwards I shall send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and from the clefts of the rocks. (Things in general have become much worse for those of us descended from the ancient house of Israel and it is as if we are hunted, to get us to take action to return to YHVH and His Torah, so that we will be ultimately ready to join the house of Judah as the commonwealth of Israel, at Messiah’s return to rule the world from Jerusalem.) (17) For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes. (18) And I will first doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable idols and with their abominations.” (19) O YHVH, my strength and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of distress, to Thee the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, futility and things of no profit.” (20) Can man make gods for himself? Yet they are not gods! (21) Therefore behold, I am going to make them know -- this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is YHVH.”

We have truly inherited so many lies from our fathers. Does it not concern you that a great deal of what we are being told from the pulpits is false? Rav Shaul warned the Colossians about falsehood preached from the pulpits in Colossians 2: 8, but also us the returnees from the lost ten tribes, saying: ‘See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Messiah.’ Messiah also warned about those who come in their own names and positions as teachers and Pastors who mislead people not to obey Torah in John 5: 43 – 47, saying: “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive (or believe) him. (44) How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only Elohim? (45) Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, 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?” Yahshua clearly told the religious leaders of His day, but also those teaching people today, that they cannot believe in Him, unless they believe in the first five books of the Scriptures written by Moses, known as Torah. He further warned in Matthew 7: 21 – 23, saying: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. (22) Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? (23) And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’” It is like these people who are planning a prayer meeting to pray about the many problems facing us here in South Africa. Apparently near a million people are getting together in Bloemfontein the mid-point in South Africa for this event. Weeks prior to the event I wrote to one of the main organizers of the event, saying to him, that they can pray all they like our Father will not listen, because they have not even begun to obey Him, and I quoted as reason from Ezekiel 22: 26, as follows: “Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.’ However, this teacher did not answer me.

Jeremiah 16: 19 (quoted earlier) is a prophecy for the future, as can be seen from the context of the section in verses 14 – 16. The exodus from the nations in verse 14 will be so great as to make the exodus from Egypt pale in comparison. Why are these Gentiles or rather, the lost ten tribes of Israel who became like Gentiles, lamenting? Because these lies have been perpetuated by their pastors and teachers who spent up to seven years to learn nothing contained in the Scriptures, but doctrines of men. We read therefore in Jeremiah 23: 1 – 4: “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!” declares YHVH. (2) Therefore thus says YHVH Elohim of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: “You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to the; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds,” declares YHVH. (3) Then I Myself shall gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and shall bring them back to their pasture; and they will be fruitful and multiply. (4) I shall also raise up shepherd over them and they will tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing," declares YHVH.’ Of course, none of them think this refers to them, but let’s continue in verses 5 – 13 to get a better picture, as follows: “Behold, the days are coming,” declares YHVH, “When I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. (6) In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘YHVH our righteousness.’ (7) “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when they will no longer say, ‘As YHVH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.’ (8) but, ‘As YHVH lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will live on their own soil. (9) As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, all my bones tremble; I have become like a drunken man. Even like a man overcome with wine, because of YHVH and because of His holy words. (10) For the land is full of adulterers; for the land mourns because of the curse. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course also is evil, and their might is not right. (11) “For both prophet and priest are polluted; even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares YHVH. (12) “Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, they will be driven away into the gloom and fall down in it; for I shall bring calamity upon them, the year of their punishment,” declares YHVH. (13) “Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.”

Those who have studied the history of ancient Israel know that there were no Israelite prophets in Samaria when Jeremiah wrote the above. They had been carried away by the Assyrians between 721 and 718 BCE, a hundred years before this prophecy was written. The prophets of Samaria are in fact referring to the modern day Christian prophets who have and are still busy deceiving the lost sheep of the house of Israel, during these end times. They are called the prophets of Baal, since they speak of YHVH as Lord. We read from verse 20 of Jeremiah 23, that in the latter days, that is one of the things that we will eventually get to understand, in this way: “The anger of YHVH will not turn back until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; in the last days you will clearly understand it.” Elohim plans to get the house of Israel and the house of Judah together in order to re-establish the commonwealth of Israel once ruled by King David, and it does not matter what you and I believe or preach He will do so, as prophesied by Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37: 21 – 25, as follows: “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.” Yes you and I should pray that YHVH will allow us to live peacefully in South Africa, until one day when He leads us back to the Promised Land, but we need not go to the mid-point of South Africa to do so. Instead, we should pray wherever we are, but we should pray fervently for the Kingdom of Elohim to come on earth as it is now in heaven; we should pray for Elohim’s will to be done, and His will is to destroy all the worldly governments and replace it by the Messiah, as was prophesied by Daniel 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.” Think carefully about that!

[2] Galatians1: 17 & 18: ‘Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus. Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.’
