40 The restoration of two house Israel

The restoration of the two houses of Israel.

For almost the past hundred years a fairly large group of believers calling themselves the Church of G-d, the Assemblies of YHVH, Messianic Israel and even Nazarene Jews/Israelites believed in the restoration of the two houses of Israel. They were mostly all on the right track teaching about the weekly and annual Sabbaths of Elohim, clean and unclean foods, immersion into Messiah’s name and the gospel about the coming kingdom of Elohim. However, most of these groups believed in two (YHVH) s, with Yahshua being the second, lesser YHVH and the Set-apart Spirit simply being the ‘so-called’ power of Elohim. In addition most did not believe in wearing tassels (tzitzit), counting the Omer from the day after the First Day of Unleavened Bread (the evening of the 16th of Aviv), obey the commandment not to cook/eat meat and milk products together, lighting Sabbath candles to usher in Elohim’s weekly and annual Sabbaths, wear head covering for both men and woman as a royal priesthood (as per first Peter 2: 9), keep Chanukah like Yahshua did (as per John 10: 22) and read the Book of Esther during Purim (as those who allied themselves with the Jews as per Esther 9: 27).

True to His word and prophecy by the prophet Daniel in Daniel 12: 3 & 4 where Elohim told Daniel about the things to occur at the end of time, saying: “And those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. (3) But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” Even though these groups put some of us on the right track, they did not have all of the knowledge necessary to lead their people to the full restoration of the two houses of Israel, and as a result some of them came to believe that only their specific group will make it into the coming kingdom of Elohim. The main problem was and still is that not many understood Messiah’s overriding purpose for coming to the earth to bring the lost sheep of the house of Israel back in to the commonwealth of Israel, in order to reestablish the tabernacle of David which has fallen at His return; something which we only really started to understand during the past 10 – 15 years. This knowledge pours water on the false belief that Messiah’s first advent was to Christianize the whole world including the Jews. Even though Churchianity had it all wrong for two millennia, their (Babylon’s) confusion was better for the world than the out and out paganism (Egypt), since they taught people certain moral laws and values. However, since mankind is slowly but surely beginning to see through the lies and deception Churchianity taught over the past two thousand years, some Israelites from the lost ten tribes, as well as a number of real gentiles have started investigating the Hebrew roots of their faith.

It is important for those who are returning to the faith once delivered to the saints (meaning true believers in YHVH), that the blessings YHVH bestowed on Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were passed down to Jacob’s twelve sons, with the first born blessing going to Joseph’s two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, since Jacob’s first born son Reuben sinned against his father. There were only two main blessings given to Abraham, the first being that his descendants through Isaac and then Jacob would inherit the Promised Land for ever, provided they like Abraham prove their faith in YHVH by obedience to Him, including to circumcise their male children at the age of 8-days old, as a sign to this eternal covenant. The second part of the blessing, that YHVH will bring the people who will eventually become known as the lost ten tribes because of idolatry and disobedience to Him, back to the covenant relationship they had with Him together with their Jewish Brothers, to again have an opportunity to become first born heirs of Abraham to inherit their part of the Promised land which they lost, through Abraham’s one Seed, namely Yahshua, who will also eventually save the rest of mankind who after learning Elohim’s true way after the 2nd resurrection, and decide to follow it, as second born children into Elohim’s eternal family. YHVH gave Joseph’s descendants the first born portion of blessings, but reserved the authority to rule religious matters for the tribe of Judah, as witnessed in Psalm 60: 7 (KJV), as follows: ‘Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver (the side note against my lawgiver refers the reader to Genesis 49: 10[1]).’ So, even though Ephraim was given the birth right, Judah was given authority over religious matters. In fact considering what happened during the past two thousand years, we know that the British commonwealth (including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa) and the United States of America, indeed had a double blessing since especially the 18th century, during which time the house of Judah remained faithful to Elohim and retained their faith, language and culture as Elohim’s Lawgiver, despite the fact that they were persecuted severely for doing so.

As history teaches Moses lead the Israelites out of Egypt to Mount Sanai where they received Torah from YHVH and after forty years of wandering in the desert, the 12 tribes of Israel settled in the Promised Land. After a period of diverse Judges and after King Saul, David was anointed King over all Israel. In the time of David we saw the house of Judah ruling over a united Israel with all twelve tribes under David’s monarchy. However, after King David died his son Solomon ruled over all Israel and he began whoring physically and spiritually and YHVH revealed to him that the United Kingdom of Israel would be split in the life of his son Rehoboam because of Solomon’s sins, as we read from first Kings 11: 11 – 13, in this way: ‘So YHVH said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. (12) Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. (13) However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.” YHVH further revealed to Jeroboam an Ephraimite, one of Solomon’s servants that he would reserve ten tribes resulting from the split in the kingdom after King Solomon’s death, for him to rule over, provided he remain faithful to Elohim and His Torah. Approximately 921 BCE the ten northern tribes broke away from the House of David and called themselves the house of Israel making Samaria its capital. The southern tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi, known as the house of Judah retained Jerusalem as capital.

Soon after the split, the northern kingdom of ten tribes began to adopt pagan practices because of fear that some of the house of Israel would return to David’s house if they had to go to Jerusalem for the annual Feast of Tabernacles, as witnessed in first Kings 12: 26 – 33, as follows: ‘And Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David. (27) If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of YHVH at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will return to their master, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.” (28) So the king consulted, and made two golden calves, and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.” (29) And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. (30) Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan. (31) And he made houses on high places, and made priests from among all the people who were not of the sons of Levi. (32) And Jeroboam instituted a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast which is in Judah, and he went up to the altar; thus he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made. And he stationed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. (33) Then he went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised in his own heart; and he instituted a feast for the sons of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn incense.’ As we come to understand, the ten tribes collectively known as the house of Israel or Ephraim began to practice false religion designed to keep Ephraim separate from Judah and separate from the Elohim of Judah, namely YHVH. As we now know the house of Ephraim became hidden as individuals within the Christian Church through YHVH’s program of re-gathering of the lost ten tribes through Yahshua the Messiah and adopted all the ungodly pagan practices of Jeroboam.

This separation into wickedness and Ephraim’s departure from the commonwealth of Israel resulted in Elohim’s judgment during 721 – 718 BCE, when YHVH sent the Assyrian king to capture and deport the northern ten tribes. Because Ephraim played the harlot and lifted her skirt to every foreign deity, YHVH declared that he would in like manner sift her and cause her to be naked before the Gentile nations, by bringing an end to the northern kingdom of Israel. Since Ephraim’s lust and desire for paganism was so great YHVH allowed the ten tribes to have the very thing that they so desperately craved for! The prophet Hosea sent to the northern kingdom of Israel depicted what would eventually happen to them, by living out what YHVH was about to do to them for their idolatry. In Hosea chapter one, YHVH told Hosea to marry a harlot named Gomer and to have children of harlotry; since the nation committed flagrant harlotry, forsaking YHVH. Hosea in obedience to YHVH went and took Gomer and she conceived and bore him a son. Then YHVH told Hosea to call his son ‘Jezreel’ which transliterated in Hebrew means YHVH will punish the house of Israel by scattering them into the nations of the world. Hosea had relations with his harlot wife a second time and she conceived and gave birth to a daughter. YHVH told him to call the daughter’s name ‘Lo-ruhamah’ which transliterated in Hebrew means no mercy; with this child YHVH showed Israel through the prophet Hosea that He no longer has mercy or compassion for them. Finally Hosea had relations with Gomer his wife again and she conceived and this time another son was born. YHVH told Hosea to call this son ‘Lo-ammi’ which transliterated in Hebrew means not My people, showing that YHVH did not regard the house of Israel as His people any longer. This meant good bye to the house of Israel, since YHVH was fighting against them. YHVH divorced the house of Israel and over time dispersed our forefathers from the house of Israel, so that they, including us their descendants have become lost to Him. We see from Hosea 7: 8, 8: 8, 9: 11 & 17, 10: 1 and 12: 1 how Ephraim was to become ‘Lo-ammi’, swallowed up among the Gentile nations of the world, in this way:

7: 8, ‘Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.’

8: 8, ‘Israel is swallowed up; they are now among the nations like a vessel in which no one delights.’

9: 11 & 17, ‘As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird—no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception! (meaning no identity) (17) My Elohim will cast them away because they have not listened to Him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.’

10: 1, ‘Israel is a luxuriant vine; he produces fruit for himself. The more his fruit, the more altars he made; the richer his land, the better he made the sacred pillars.’, and

12: 1, ‘Ephraim feeds on wind, and pursues the east wind continually; he multiplies lies and violence. Moreover, he makes a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried to Egypt.’

This was almost like a death sentence for the house of Israel, but because YHVH is always true to His word and did not forget the covenant that He made with our fathers in the faith, He promised to bring us back during the latter days, as recorded in Deuteronomy 4: 25 – 31, as follows: “When you become the father of children and children’s children and have remained long in the land, and act corruptly, and make an idol in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the sight of YHVH your Elohim so as to provoke Him to anger, (26) I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you shall surely perish quickly from the land where you are going over the Jordan to possess it. You shall not live long on it, but shall be utterly destroyed. (27) And YHVH will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where YHVH shall drive you. (28) And there you will serve gods, the work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. (29) But from there you will seek YHVH your Elohim, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. (30) When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days, you will return to YHVH your Elohim and listen to His voice. (31) For YHVH your Elohim is a compassionate Elohim; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.” So, despite this death sentence given in Hosea 1 for the lost ten tribes as an identifiable kingdom or nation, miraculously they reappear in the last days. We see from verse 10 & 11 of Hosea 1, YHVH saying through Hosea: ‘Yet the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered; and it will come about that, in the place where it is said to them, “You are not My people,” it will be said to them, “You are the sons of the living Elohim” (11) And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader, and they will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.’ Here the house of Israel, who were virtually totally destroyed and swallowed up among the Gentile nations of the world, miraculously reappeared as the former children of Israel. YHVH tells us here that when these people of Ephraim will reappear they will once again become sons (or children) of the living Elohim through faith in Yahshua, as YHVH told Hosea to prophesy in Hosea 2: 21 – 23, saying: “And it will come about in that day that I will respond,” declares YHVH. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth, (22) and the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine, and to the oil, and they will respond to Jezreel (the house of Israel who were scattered into the world). (23) And I will sow her for Myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, and I will say to those who were not My people, “You are My people!” And they will say, ‘Thou art my Elohim!’” In verse 11 of Hosea 1 (quoted before) we see this return of the lost ten tribes back into the House of David, through Messiah whom they together with the house of Judah appoint as leader over them. One day soon when Ephraim and Judah are regenerated and re-gathered into the rebuilt Tabernacle of David, then we will recognize each other as equal partners and blood brothers, who have been redeemed by YHVH.

We need to be ever mindful of Matthew 15: 24 where we see that Yahshua only came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel the first time, and not for Judah. He also has no interest in Gentiles, as He explained to the Canaanite woman who asked Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter in verses 26 – 28 of Matthew 15, saying to her: “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” (27) But she said, ‘Yes, Master; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their master’s table.” (28) Then Yahshua answered and said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; be it done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once.’ The point is that even though most of the Israelites who were scattered into the nations of the world might look like Gentiles, behave like Gentiles and used to eat un-kosher food like Gentiles, but they are in fact nothing more than physical sheep of the house of Israel who lost their identity and have been living like Gentiles for the past 2700 years. Those Messianic Jews who deny the two house doctrine, disbelieve all these prophecies, but also do not understand Messiah’s main purpose for coming to the earth about 2,000 years ago. It is true Rav Kepha and Rav Shaul shared the gospel of the Kingdom with Gentiles, because where else could they find the seeds of Ephraim, except among the Gentiles filling the earth. Reading from Amos 9: 9 that even though Elohim shook the house of Israel among the nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, not a kernel disappeared totally. But we were mixed into the nations and literally became the peoples of the earth, only to be brought back to YHVH and the house of Judah through Yahshua the Messiah. The great commission given by Yahshua to His disciples (and by implication also us His modern day disciples) in Matthew 28: 18 – 20 is therefore nothing more than a world-wide search for the seed of Ephraim in the teeming multitudes of the earth. Rav Yaa’cov testified to this truth reminding the Jerusalem Council that YHVH was just visiting the Gentile nations through the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom of Elohim, not to live there but to rescue and draw out His people called by His name, as recorded in Acts 15: 13 – 18, in this way: And after they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, “Brethren, listen to me. (14) Simeon has related how Elohim first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name. (15) And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written. (16) AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT. (17) IN ORDER THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK YHVH, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME.’ (18) SAYS YHVH, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM OF OLD.”

Since YHVH is Israel’s Elohim, He is pulling out all stops to rescue Israelites from the ‘outcast position’ that have been their inheritance because of their disobedience to Torah. Yahshua the Messiah did not come to start a new religion called Christianity and the congregation that He came to reestablish was the same one started in the wilderness by Elohim as is also confirmed in Acts 7: 37 & 38, as follows: “This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘ELOHIM SHALL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN.’ (38) This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness together with the angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sanai, and who was with our fathers; and he received living oracles to pass on to you.” There is only one New Covenant congregation, called the ‘Israel of Elohim’ by Rav Shaul in Galatians 6: 16. This is the same congregation Yahshua spoke about to the Jews in John 10: 14 - 16, saying: “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 fold (the Hebrew congregation or synagogue); I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice, and they shall become one flock with one shepherd.” This verse was never really understood, since Christianity previously blamed the Jews for killing Messiah, but here Yahshua Himself told them, that they did not kill Him, since He laid down His life to redeem us, from the lost ten tribes from the punishment due to us for breaking Elohim’s commandments, but also to buy back our portion of the Promised Land which we lost due to idolatry, as our kinsman redeemer. We also see from a prophecy by the Prophet Ezekiel that YHVH will ultimately bring us from the lost ten tribes back to the promised land to be joined together with the house of Judah as the commonwealth of Israel, or the Kingdom of Elohim over Israel, 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 (the shepherd Yahshua as He also told His Jewish Brothers in John 10); and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them.”

The gospel that Yahshua taught us to proclaim to the Israelites from the lost ten tribes scattered into the nations of the world was not merely a proclamation of personal salvation, but it is a message of the national restoration of the commonwealth of Israel which were divided into two separate nations after King Solomon. The reason why Messianic Jews and Christianity misunderstood Messiah’s main purpose, are two fold; firstly Satan and His agents have for the past two thousand years been deceiving the whole world (as per Revelation 12: 9) to try and keep the bride, being the commonwealth of Israel consisting of both the house of Israeli and the house of Judah, from the bridegroom, who is coming to remarry the united Israel again, as witnessed in Jeremiah 31: 31 – 33, as follows: “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 those days,” 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.” Different to what many Nazarene Israelite and like-minded believers (in the Church of G-d and Assemblies of YHVH) believe, there can be no Kingdom of Elohim without both houses of Israel being present. We as Nazarene Israelites should therefore be thankful that the house of Judah preserved the Torah of Elohim for us whilst we were totally lost.

The second reason for misunderstanding Messiah’s main purpose is that this truth was only to be revealed during the time of the end as Daniel also prophesied in Daniel 12: 3 (previously quoted). In addition we know that because of the house of Israel’s proclivity to follow paganism, YHVH was not pleased with them as He indicated through the Prophet Hosea in Hosea 6: 1 – 3, saying: “Come, let us return to YHVH. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. (2) He will revive us after two days (remembering that a day to YHVH is 1000 years as per Psalm 90: 4 and 2 Peter 3: 8); He will raise us up on the third day that we may live (eternally) before Him. (3) So let us know, let us press on to know YHVH. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; and He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.” Fact is that even before Messiah came to the earth two thousand years ago, the Prophet Isaiah already told us what His main purpose for coming to earth the first time will be in Isaiah 49: 5 - 7, saying: ‘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 (Nazarene) ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” (7) Thus says YHVH, the Redeemer of Israel, and its Holy One, to the despised One, to the One abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers, “Kings shall see and arise, princes shall also bow down; because of YHVH who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”

From the prophecy about the end of this age that Yahshua prophesied about in Matthew 24, we came to understand that the only things still to occur before Messiah’s return to rule the world from Jerusalem, are that the Temple has to be build – to allow it to be desecrated according to what Yahshua prophesied in Matthew 24: 15, followed by the great tribulation as well as the day of YHVH. We read from Zechariah 6: 11 – 15, that we from the lost ten tribes, whom Daniel and Rav Kepha spoke about as those who are far of will be responsible for building the Temple of YHVH under Yahshua, as follows: “And take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. (12) Then say to him, ‘Thus says YHVH of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is Branch (Nazarene), for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of YHVH. (13) Yes, it is He who will build the temple of YHVH, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.”’ (14) Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of YHVH to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah. (15) And those who are far off will come and build the temple of YHVH.” Then you will know that YHVH of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place, if you completely obey YHVH your Elohim.” This tells us that we from the lost ten tribes will build the temple under guidance of Yahshua our coming King and High Priest, provided we obey YHVH fully.

Even though some of us from the lost ten tribes have been keeping the Feast Days of Elohim according to the Hebrew calendar, ate only Kosher foods, and obeyed the Torah to the best of our ability for the past forty to fifty years, we are not totally where YHVH wants us to be yet. It is for this reason that Zechariah prophesied in Zechariah 8: 7 & 8 saying: “Thus says YHVH of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; (8) and I will bring them back, and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem, and they will be My people and I will be their Elohim in truth and righteousness.” Continuing in Zechariah 8: 21 – 23, we read: “Thus says YHVH of hosts, ‘It will be that people 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 YHVH, and to seek YHVH of hosts; I will also go.” (22) So many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek YHVH of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of YHVH.’ (23) Thus says YHVH 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 Elohim is with you.”’” For those among us who are at this stage vexing the house of Judah, because we misunderstood Messiah’s main purpose, it is time that we grab a hold of the tzitzit of a Jew, if we truly want to get to know how to serve YHVH fully!

Many believing in the two house truth have for many years believed that only those from the lost ten tribes will become kings and priests in the Kingdom of Elohim, at Messiah’s return. Some also believed that when Messiah comes the Levitical priesthood will come to an end all together when He will introduce a new priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek. However, we see in an end of day prophecy by Isaiah in Isaiah 66: 20 & 21, YHVH telling our Jewish Brothers that those returning from the lost house of Israel as first fruits, will also be made priest, as follows: “Then they shall bring all your 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.’ At this time when some of the tribe of Judah arranged a special get together for members of both houses of Israel during Shavuot 2016 (or more correctly during the Hebrew year 5776) in the land of Israel, it is vitally important that we give them our full support – if it cannot be in joining them for Shavuot, or financially, then it needs to be by heartfelt prayer that they will succeed in identifying the real house of Israel to our Jewish Brothers in Israel, but also throughout the world! We could also show our support for their effort by buying some of the material that they are making available through the webpage hebrewnations.com Think carefully about it!

[1] Genesis 49: 10, ‘The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.’ The name Shiloh (the ‘sent one’) here refers to Messiah, when He comes to rule the world from Jerusalem.
