WHO IS ISRAEL

The Honour Of Kings

The video that goes with this document: https://youtu.be/Q9cgOtT0cao

The Basic History

1.1 Israel Originally Were Twelve Tribes.

Judah

Reuben

Gad

Asher

Naphtali

Manasseh

Simeon

Issachar

Zebulun

Benjamin

Ephraim

Dan

1.2 Two Houses Formed.

Then, because of Solomon’s (son of David) disobedience to the covenant, in going after strange gods. Israel was split into two kingdoms: Benjamin and Judah in the south with Jerusalem remaining as their capital, and the other 10 tribes were in the north, with Samaria as their new capital. These two kingdoms, or two houses, are referred to as the house of Judah, and the house of Israel, (two sticks/two olive trees)

1.3 The Split Was Prophesied To Happen.

In Deuteronomy 4:27-31 we see the first prophecy that Israel will be exiled from the promised land and scattered from one end of the earth to another, where there they will worship other gods (🎅🐰🎄🎃).

27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you.

28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

In Deuteronomy 28:63-64, Moses gave this prophecy again in the same speech he delivered regarding the curses that would come with disobedience to the covenant.

63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

Later, in Deuteronomy 32:26 God reminds us of this prophecy which shall come to pass and tells us again that not only will Israel be scattered to the four corners of the earth, but moreover, their identity will be lost.

26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

We see the same loss of identity mentioned yet again in Psalm 83:4 (speaking of the other nations).

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

1.4 It Came To Pass That Israel Were Indeed Scattered.

In 722 BC, firstly, the northern kingdom was exiled in 2 Kings 17:5-6 (remember Samaria was their capital).

5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

Importantly, Assyria is the country that we call “Turkey” today, just north-west of the land of Israel. It’s also important to know that the northern kingdom has never returned. We will get into the prophecy of their return later with scripture, but for now, just take our word on it.

1.5 The First Exile Of Judah.

After the northern kingdom was scattering, only the southern kingdom was left in the land, 2 Kings 17:18.

18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

In 605 BC The first wave of Judah got exiled into Babylon, we see an account of this in 2 Kings 24:10-16.

10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.

12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

13 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had said.

14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

16 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

In Daniel 1:1-4 we get even more detail.

1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.

2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;

4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

You see here that Judah learnt the ways of the Chaldeans in Babylon. This is where the evil Talmud was written and where Judah learnt the ways of the sunset to sunset sabbath. A lot of bad tradition and doctrine came out of Babylon. This is why Yeshua was rebuking the Pharisees so hard, calling them of their father the devil, dead men's bones, etc. Because they began to worship the devil and taught the rest of Judah to do the same. You see, the Chaldeans were already a rich nation, they took the most cunning and skillful out of Judah, and became even more powerful. Descendants of Chaldeans still run the world today, we just call them the “Freemasons” or the “Illuminati” - The Oculus Cult.

1.6 The Second Exile Of Judah.

`In 586 BC, we see accounts of the final exile and destruction of the temple in 2 Kings 25:8-12, 2 Chronicles 36:15-21, and Jeremiah 52:12-14. Lets just read the Chronicle account for now.

15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.

18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.

19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate, she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

You see here two important details: Judah became servants to the Babylonians, and it was to be for a length of time given as “until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate, she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.”

Now you have to understand there is a weekly Sabbath given by God, made for man (Isaiah 58:13), the one in the 10 commandments. This weekly Sabbath is part of the Holy Covenant which we are still under today. Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

And there was also an annual Sabbath (Leviticus 25) as part of the sacrificial law given by Moses, added because of transgression to the 10 commandments (Galatians 3:19) until the refreshing of the Holy Covenant. In this annual Sabbath the land and animals within were to gain rest for the entire year, every seven years.

So God says, “You wont keep my instructions? You won't listen to me? alright, off you go.”

So this passage here that we just read in 2 Chronicles 36:21:

21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate, she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

Is quoting that which Jeremiah already prophesied of in Jeremiah 25:11-12. (Threescore and ten years is just KJV language for 70 years).

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

1.6 Judah Return To The Land.

So the only reason that we have ethnic Jews in the country that we call Israel today is because their ancestors returned. Now, remember they picked up that evil Talmud and still reckon with Babylonian day counting, they still keep the Chaldeans traditions. That is why Jews are renowned for their belief in their ethnic supremacy because their Talmud tells them that anyone not an ethnic Jew is like unto cattle and basically to go ahead and abuse them. That once they’re in their idea of the kingdom, gentiles will be their slaves. There is a remnant of Judah however that knows their brothers and sisters are still scattered and are trying to find them as Yeshua instructed them.

We see the return of Judah in Ezra-Nehamiah, specifically in Ezra 1:1-4, Ezra 3:1-3 and Nehemiah 2:17-18. Let's just read Ezra 1 for the sake of completeness.

1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he hath charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.

4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

1.6 The House Of Israel Never Returned To The Land.

There is no account of the northern kingdom returning to the land in scripture. There is not even any serious debate over this matter in terms of the worldly historical view. There is no evidence of a return, this is almost universally accepted. In fact, if you do a bit of research you will even find that the Assyrians carried out a policy of forced population displacement.

But more importantly we do see many scriptures telling us that in the time of Yeshua, they were still scattered. As a matter of fact Yeshua tells us that he came for ONLYthe LOST sheep of THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL in Matthew 15:24.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Don’t worry though, we will read around this verse for context later and we will see that anyone can be saved. For now just understand that Yeshua himself said that he came only for those scattered sheep.

Israel Dispersed

2.1 The Jews Knew That Their Brothers and Sisters From The Northern Kingdom Were Lost.

When Yeshua told the Jews that he was going some place they won’t be able to find him, we of course know that he was talking about the kingdom of God. But we see that they thought in John 7:35 that perhaps he was talking about going to “the dispersed”.

35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

And if you open Strong's concordance on this verse you see that Gentiles just means Nations and that “dispersed” literally means scattered, from the root Greek word “Sown”. And would it blow your mind to learn that it's the same word Paul and Peter use when they address their letters?

2.2 Paul describing the ‘Gentiles’

Ephesians 2:11-12

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past 👉🏼Gentiles in the flesh👈🏼, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time 👉🏼ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world👈🏼

‘Being aliens’ from the commonwealth of Israel means to be ‘estranged’ according to Strong’s Concordance, which by default means that they were, at one time, part of the commonwealth of Israel, but by the time Paul was sent unto them they had completely forgotten the Holy Covenants and had no hope because they were without God.

2.3 My People, Which Were Not My People - The Divorce

So when Paul says in Romans 9:24 that God has called the Jews and the Gentiles, he’s saying Judah, and the house of Israel who were dispersed into the Gentiles and therefore now called simply Gentiles.

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

Moreover, let's see what he was quoting there in Hosea, its Hosea 1:1-11.

1 The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.

4 And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu,👉 and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.👈

5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.

6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.

9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

10 👉 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. 👈

See it's clear, God will call those who were not his people (because they were divorced), his people again. Or as Hosea puts it, the sons of the living God. The only people who were his people, prophesied to one day be his people again, are the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Only Israel Get Saved

3.1 The Only Gates To Heaven Are Those With The Names Of The 12 Tribes on them.

John saw Heaven and he saw only 12 gates, with the 12 tribes' names on them. This is Revelation 21:10-13.

10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

You see, there is no Gentile gate, there is no Church gate.

Be sure to watch this too, a short video from our brother Mark explaining exactly this in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoXTi2-DMwE&t=168s

3.2 The White Stone.

This is why Yeshua says that he will give you a white stone with a new name written on it in Revelation 2:16-17. That is the name of your tribe that you have been grafted into, which is the gate that you will be entering in to the kingdom through

16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

3.3 The Seven Churches That Revelation Was Written To Are All In Assyria.

In Revelation 1:11, Yeshua instructed John to write to seven churches in Asia, which is Asia Minor, previously Assyria, or the landmass that we call Turkey today.

11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Go and Google those places and you’ll see this is where they all are:

This is where the northern kingdom was initially scattered (2 Kings 17:5-6) before their descendants fulfilled prophecy by spreading to the four corners of the earth.

3.4 Letters Addressed To The Northern Kingdom.

Even look at first Peter. 1 Peter 1:1-2 is addressed to the ELECT strangers SCATTERED throughout nations in Asia Minor also.

1 Peter, an apostle of Yeshua the Messiah, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua the Messiah: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

All these nations were where the northern kingdom was scattered to as well, noting Galatia, same deal, the northern kingdom dispersed into the Gentiles, who are Gentiles.

James also, James 1:1.

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

James wrote to the 12 tribes. No one else. So if you don’t want to be grafted into Israel, you might as well throw out all of James.

Remember, the dispersion, the lost brothers and sisters, the lost sheep, were known to be in these northern nations at the time, John 7:35 which we read earlier is the evidence for that.

3.5 The New Covenant Is Only For Israel.

Jeremiah 31:31 tells us clearly that the new covenant, which is that God will give us new hearts when in the kingdom, is only made to Israel (which is both houses)

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:”

And you know this hasn’t happened yet, why? Because you keep reading Jeremiah 31:32-34:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34👉 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.👈

We know this new covenant made only with the house of Israel and the House of Judah hasn't begun yet. for three reasons.

Reason 1) Which two commandments did the Messiah elevate in Matthew 22:37-40?

37 Yeshua said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

And what was he quoting? Deuteronomy 6-8 for Loving God, and Leviticus 19:15-18 for loving your neighbour as yourself (James calls this the royal law in James 2:8-9).

8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

Without reading Deuteronomy chapter 6 to 8 to see what it means to love God with all your heart, mind and soul, (which you absolutely must do by the way), it means to keep his commandments. For Israel at the time, this meant the 10 commandments (the Holy Covenant), as well as the sacrificial law which was added because of transgression thereof. For you, now that Messiah refreshed the Holy Covenant, this simply means keep the 10 commandments.

And loving your neighbour as yourself IS LIKE UNTO IT and means to rebuke your neighbour when they break the 10 commandments. Let's read that quickly at least (Leviticus 19:15-18).

15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the Lord.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.

And you see Yeshua cant have meant anything else in Matthew 22:37-40, because if God changes the definition of something later, then he is the author of confusion, let scripture define scripture, when something is defined in the bible the first time, that is its definition. You don’t get to redefine things to fit your deceitful heart's desire.

So the apostate church will say that the new covenant started with Yeshua's resurrection. But if Yeshua taught to teach your neighbors not to sin, and the new covenant is that you won't even need to teach your neighbors because everyone will know God. How can that be? Why on earth did Yeshua tell you to rebuke your neighbour if no one is sinning anyway under the new covenant?

Reason 2) Simply, the new covenant says that: “for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them”. Do ALL know God today? Absolutely not, we still live our lives surrounded by atheists and agnostics, even the Apostate Christian church itself has over 50,000 denominations. So if the new covenant is in effect now, that would make God a liar.

Reason 3) More simply, the house of Israel is still lost, so how can a lost house receive a new covenant?

The new covenant is for the millennial reign, where only then will the house of Israel be gathered, and Judah and the house of Israel will be able to receive the new covenant.

So, the new covenant clearly hasn’t happened yet. And when it happens, it only is given to Israel, the reunited northern and southern tribes, no house of Gentiles. So there's two options. Be grafted into Israel and be partakers in the kingdom, or remain Gentiles and die. You see how ridiculous it is to be so adamant that you want to remain Gentiles? If you remain a Gentile you don’t go to the kingdom. So be grafted in…

You Must Be Grafted Into Israel To Be Saved

So we have established that only Israel (both houses - all 12 tribes) make it into the kingdom. But the northern kingdom has been dispersed and lost their identity in the world. So how do you be saved? What's the plan for the lost sheep of the house of Israel?

4.1 What Being Grafted In Means.

Jeremiah 3:8 tells us that backsliding Israel (this is talking about the house of Israel) has been divorced.

8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

But just before that in Jeremiah 3:1, God says “yet return to me”.

1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord.

But Deuteronomy 24:1-3 tells us that if you commit adultery you can't be re married.

1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.

3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;

4 Her former husband, which sent her away, 👉may not take her again to be his wife👈, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

So that's a problem right? Well the solution starts in John 17:9-10 where Yeshua says:

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

So keep that in mind now when we read Romans 7:

1 Know ye not, brethren, 👉(for I speak to them that know the law,)👈 how that the law hath dominion over a man 👉as long as he liveth?👈

Even stopping there, Paul is saying, “I’m only talking to those who know the law” so go back and read the part of the law he’s talking about at least. We already did just now but you see that's the clue, you have to keep your eye out for these things when you read scripture.

2 👉For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.👈

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

You see Paul, who knew the law probably better than anyone even alive today, is explaining to us that a woman can’t remarry so long as her husband lives. However, if her husband dies she is free to remarry and is no longer an adulterer. You probably see where this is going…

Recall that in Romans 9:24 Paul (quoting Hosea 1) said that God has called not only the Jews but the Gentiles. And in the next verse he calls this group of Gentiles “my people, which were not my people”. Well in Hosea 2:23 we get even more detail.

23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

YESHUA DIED FOR YOU TO ABLE TO BE REMARRIED WITH GOD. This is what dying for your sins means even. Israel sinned (with idolatry/spiritual adultery) and was divorced, Yeshua died for those sins so you could be remarried again, be born again, and become one with him.

That's the gospel by the way. Yeshua came to end sacrificial law, refresh the Holy Covenant (a.k.a the 10 commandments) and allow you to become married again if you keep that covenant. Super simple. The gospel isn’t that the Messiah came so that you could do whatever is right in your own eyes, forsake the perpetual covenant and enter the kingdom anyway. That's the apostate church version, and it’s exactly what the devil wants you to believe.

This is why the Jews today don’t care to get the lost sheep of the northern kingdom, because they don't believe in Yeshua the Messiah, they don't think the northern kingdom is allowed to come back (because they have been divorced) despite the many scriptures even in the old testament saying otherwise. They don't understand that Yeshua's death is the way that the house of Israel can return.

Being grafted in means you become spiritual Israel, you inherit Israel's instructions, covenants, as well as the promises, and curses thereof. Just like if you move from America to Australia and become a citizen, you drive on the left side of the road, you don’t say “na thats just for Australians, I’m going to keep driving on the right hand side” or worse, “sometimes I’ll drive on the right, sometimes i'll drive on the left, whatever suits me better that day”. If you do that and you’ll be deported, or CUT OFF.

4.2 Be Grafted Into The Olive Tree

In Romans 11:11-27 Paul likens Gentiles who repent and are obedient to what the Messiah taught, unto branches being grafted into an olive tree.

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

21 👉For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.👈

22 👉Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.👈(OSAS debunked).

23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

24 👉For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?👈(Judah can be grafted in also).

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

So you see that because of the Messiah's sacrifice, you can now be grafted into Israel and enter the kingdom and new covenant. But, don’t be arrogant, because if he cut off the natural branches, how much sooner will he cut off the unnatural branches that were grafted in? Don’t do what the northern kingdom did in 2 Kings 17 (🎅🐰🎄🎃) otherwise you'll be thrown into the fire.

4.3 Yeshua Is The Olive Tree

Yeshua is the olive tree, we see that in Isaiah 11:1.

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

Jesse is David's dad.

Zechariah even saw this vision long before the Messiah came in Zechariah 4:1-3.

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

And this is the real flag of Israel, it's not some 6 pointed star like the one you put on your christmas tree of remphan (Acts 7:43) which belongs to moloch.

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

In John 15:1-6 Yeshua uses a parable of a vine.

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 👉 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.👈

So you have to abide in Yeshua or you get casted into the fire. John 14 tells you how to abide in Yeshua. John 14:15-21 says:

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

See clearly, to abide in Yeshua, matter of fact, to love Yeshua, means to keep his commandments. What commandments? The sacrificial law added because of transgression until Yeshua refreshed the 10 commandments? Of course not, to love Yeshua means to keep the 10 commandments.

4.4 Ezekiel's “Sticks”

Ezekiel 37:15-28 tells us yet again, that the two houses will one day become one again.

15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

And the word translated as “stick/s” here is really “Tree”. The lying pen of the scribes doesn't want you to make the connection to the olive tree.

4.5 The Wise And Foolish Virgins

The apostate church has to realise that they are the 10 virgins from Yeshua parable in Matthew 25:1-13.

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 👉But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.👈

13 👉Watch therefore👈, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Now compare those last couple of verses to what Yeshua says again in Matthew 7:22-23.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, 👉I never knew you👈: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The church are gentiles, who if they keep covenant are grafted into the commonwealth of Israel. Paul even says don't become proud, don't do the same things the ancient Israelites did in 2 Kings 17 because you will�� get plucked out even quicker than they did because you aren’t even the natural branches. But they don't listen, and they absolutely have gotten proud. They even think they have replaced Israel and can go and do pagan witchcraft and lie to their children about it because they are ‘once saved always saved’. NO, you will get cut off. and that's Paul telling you guys this.

The apostate church just can't accept that they are the 10 virgins, and some will be wise and some will be foolish. The ones doing christmas and easter, not keeping the covenant from Horeb are the foolish ones who are building their houses on sand which will fall GREATLY.

So now we can come back to Matthew 15:21-28 like we said we would do. This is the passage where Yeshua says he only came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Let's read around it.

21 Then Yeshua went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

Stop here. The coast of Tyre and Sidon, where is that? The North.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

28 Then Yeshua answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

See this all happened to prove the point that gentiles, the lost sheep of the house of Israel, can be grafted in. It was only after the woman showed her faith that her child was made well.

How To Be Grafted Into Israel

5.1 You Must Keep The 10 Commandments To Be Grafted In

Isaiah 56:3-7 tells us this:

3 👉 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.👈

4 👉For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;👈

5👉 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name (white stone), that shall not be cut off.👈

6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Pretty simple, to be grafted into Israel, and God's kingdom, you have to keep the Holy Covenant

Back to Hosea, Hosea 4:6 tells us if you reject knowledge, God will reject you.

6 👉 My people👈 are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Remember “my people, which were not my people” are those who are grafted into spiritual Israel.

The question begs, what is knowledge (from the root Hebrew word “yada”, which means ‘to know’)? Let's keep reading, in Hosea 6:6-7 we get more detail.

6 For I desired 👉mercy, and not sacrifice👈; and the 👉knowledge of God👈 more than burnt offerings.

7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

Yeshua himself even told you to go and learn what this means in Matthew 9:13 when he says:

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

So clearly knowledge has something to do with mercy, so what is the mercy Yeshua was speaking of? How do we obtain this mercy? Look at Deuteronomy 7:9-10.

9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which 👉keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations👈;

10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

Deuteronomy 5:9-10 tells us the same thing. You must read this whole chapter by the way. Because this is the same chapter where he tells us the covenant at Horeb is the 10 commandments.

9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

10 👉And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.👈

So to be grafted into Israel, it is simple. Keep the 10 commandments. Yeshua tells us that his yoke is easy and his burden is light in Matthew 11:28-30:

8 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

You see, he even tells us to learn of him, learn what this easy yoke and light burden is.

At this point I would say go and watch our other video on the “Simple Gospel” if you are still not convinced that you need to keep the covenant.

youtube

If you don’t listen to all the scriptures we show you in that video, at least consider Proverbs 19:16.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

Otherwise get ready to hear “I never knew you, depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-27)

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, 👉I never knew you👈: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a 👉wise man, which built his house upon a rock:👈

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 👉 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.👈

The wise man builds his house on the rock, which is the rock of Horeb and keeps the commandments given there in Deuteronomy 5. The foolish man is the apostate church, prophesied to fall, who know the true gospel, but forsake it to go off and commit spiritual adultery (🎅🐰🎄🎃).

5.2 After You Have Received Knowledge, Don't Turn Back

So once you receive the truth, you have to stay in it. Hebrews 10:26 says:

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.

Matthew 10:37 puts it another way:

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Then on the contrary, Yeshua says in Matthew 19:29:

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Hebrews 6:4-6 also tells us:

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 👉If they shall fall away👈, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

But the church won't show you that verse, or if they do they will twist it away to tickle your ears. Because this right here should completely debunk once saved, always saved. So ask a pastor how this can be if ‘once saved always saved’ is true, and watch them crap their pants and fumble to give you an answer.

Don't be like Lot's wife in Genesis 19:24-26.

24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

So when you come out of spiritual Sodom, don’t look back, you can’t drink from both cups, thats 1 Corinthians 10:21:

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Proverbs 26:11 puts it plainly:

11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, So a fool returneth to his folly.

And remember what happens to foolish men, who build their house upon the sand? They fall.

Now go and read the parable of the seed sower in Matthew 13 to see what Yeshua has to say about this matter.

God Is Calling You To Do Exactly That - Be Grafted In

6.1 Come Out Of Her My People!

God wants you to come out of the apostate church which is a big ugly whore according to the book of Revelation.

God says in Revelation 18:1-5

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 👉 Come out of her, 👉my people👈, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.👈

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Hosea 12:6 talking about both kingdoms transgressions says:

6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: 👉 keep mercy and judgment👈 and wait on thy God continually.

And Yeshua already taught us what mercy means, so this could read: “Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep the 10 commandments and royal law and wait on thy God continually.”

That is what you're supposed to hear, that is why Isaiah 28:10 tells us to read scripture in this manner:

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little

Hosea 14:1 says:

1 O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

In Isaiah 57:16-21 we see prophecy of entering the kingdom if we have a contrite and humble spirit toward God:

15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace 👉to him that is far off, and to him that is near👈, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.

20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

When Yeshua was talking to Judah, he even told them he had sheep that were not of their fold that must return in John 10:14-16.

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 👉 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold👈: them also I must bring,👉 and they shall hear my voice;👈 and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

We know from Matthew 15:42 which we read earlier that Yeshua only came for the lost sheep of the House of Israel. So this passage in John is clearly only talking to Israel.

6.2 Get Your Brothers And Sisters As Well!

So not only is God calling you to be grafted in, but Yeshua tells you that it’s not good enough to just return yourself, but to also go and get others of his flock. That's why he asked Peter three times if he loved him, and everytime he said “Go, feed my sheep” in John 21:15-18.

15 So when they had dined, Yeshua saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Yeshua saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

And this is a requirement. You cannot feed your own belly. If you love Yeshua, you will love his sheep, if you don’t love his sheep, you don’t love him. Let's compare what we just read there with John 14:15-21 again.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

And If there was still any doubt, John tells us plainly in his first letter (1 John 5:1-3).

1 Whosoever believeth that Yeshua is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2👉 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments👈.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

And if you’re paying attention, this is exactly what we are trying to do with this presentation. Unfortunately, many are called, but only few are chosen. If you are watching this video, especially if you have made it to this point. You have been called, so do you choose? Yeshua said this in Matthew 22:14.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

6.3 Did Israel's Punishment End?

This is a bit of speculation, but there is some evidence in Ezekiel 4:1-6 that Israel's punishment might have ended in 2008. We see Ezekiel laid on his left side for 390 days for each year of Israel's iniquity.

1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:

2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.

3 Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.

5 👉For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.👈

6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

So Israel went into captivity in 722 BC and Ezekiel received this prophecy where he was to lay on his left side for 390 days, a symbol of the punishment for the northern kingdom. But, the northern kingdom did not repent, they didn’t turn back to God, and God had already said long before in Leviticus 26:13-21 that if they don’t repent he will punish them seven times more.

13 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

18 👉And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.👈

19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

So 7 times 390 = 2730 years. If you subtract the date of exile, 722, you get the year 2008 AD. Interestingly, around this time and after, a lot of people started to wake up to the true gospel and come out of the church.

Again, this is a bit of speculation, but we know also from Hosea 6:1-2 that the Messiah will tarry for two days before his return.

1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

And from 2 Peter 3:8 that:

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

So if Yeshua died in 28 AD like many think, and you add 2000 years for two days, before subtracting 3.5 years for the great tribulation as per Revelation 12:14 (time, times and a half) and Revelation 13:5 (42 months), you get the sixth seal opening spring time in 2024. and only the 144,000 will be caught up to the throne, the church is the woman in the wilderness. But that will be a whole nother video. The point is in any case, just even looking at the prophecy being fulfilled, you do not have much time left to QUICKLY keep the two covenants of Ephesians 2 which is to keep the 10 commandments and eat clean & don't touch blood.

The urgency comes from Luke 16, the parable of the unjust steward, which we did a short video on here:

youtube

And we explain the two covenants further in scripture in this video here:

youtube

The Second Exodus

So the northern kingdom return to the land through another exodus, so great that no one will even mention the first one out of Egypt. This is told in Jeremiah 16:14-15.

14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

As well as in Jeremiah 23:7-8.

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

8 But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

The church used to know this too before they went apostate as was prophesied to happen in many places 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, and Daniel 11 to name a few. They used to have a hymn from Isaiah 51:11.

11 Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

We will do another video on this topic but it is important that you know this has to happen.

Daily Devotionals for September 16, 2023

Proverbs: God's Wisdom for the Day

Devotional Scripture:

Proverbs 24:27 (KJV): 27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field, and afterward build thine house. Proverbs 24:27 (AMP): 27 (Put first things first.) Prepare your work outside and prepare it for yourself in the field; afterward, build your house and establish a home.

Thought for the Day

The Bible has a great deal to say about business and finances. In this verse, we are given wise instructions to build our business before we build our house. Since farming was the main occupation in Biblical times, much of its advice is expressed in agricultural terms, but the principles apply to any business today. Today's verse instructs us to invest our resources in establishing our livelihood before buying a house. The success of so many Jewish immigrants is attributed to their adherence to this principle. Upon arriving in a new country, they bought or rented storefronts with small apartments behind or over the store and directed all their income into building up their businesses. Later, after establishing their firms, they had enough revenue to build a home elsewhere. Many American farmers also followed this principle. They started by building barns and simple living quarters, and reinvesting all monies in the farm until it was well established. Later, when it brought in enough profit, they built larger houses.

Ignorant of good business principles, many young couples today go bankrupt. They start by buying big homes and creating such high monthly overhead that they are unable to support the companies they begin. If they started by renting a small place until the business did well, they could buy the big house later. The American Dream usually slips through the grasp of those who pursue it without establishing a foundation of hard work and sacrifice. God desires to bless us with material things, but He does not want us to be so consumed with life's cares that we do not make time for Him. Not having time to pray with our families, read our Bibles, or fellowship with believers gives Satan an opening to destroy our homes and finances.

"And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildest not, And houses full of all good things, which thou filled not, and wells dug, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth" (Deuteronomy 6:10-15).

Prayer Devotional for the Day

Dear heavenly Father, thank you so much for all of Your provisions for us. We do appreciate Your goodness and love to furnish all our needs every day. We are looking to You to guide us in the financial affairs of our lives in life. Lord, we resist greed and materialism and ask for contentment with the things that we own today. We know that You will bless us more and more as we learn of Your ways as we follow You. Help us to be good stewards over our finances, our homes, and everything that You have given us. We do appreciate the material blessings You have given us, but most of all, we appreciate the spiritual blessings that are ours, which money cannot buy. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

THE BLESSING: BY GRACE, NOT OF WORKS!

One of the most wonderful things about the Bible is that no matter how many times you read through it, there is always something new for you to discover, a new revelation from the Holy Spirit to you that will inspire and empower you to know God more and become more of whom you were meant or created in Him to be. Recently, I was reading through the scriptures for the umpteenth time, the story of Isaac and how he instructed his older son, Esau, to go and get venison and prepare it for him to eat so that he could bless him before he dies. When I got to the point where he gave the instruction, something occurred to me. Why would Isaac need to be given venison first before releasing the blessing? Was that how he got it from his father Abraham? Could the blessing he inherited be traceable to any work of his? Was he not blessed primarily because of the faith and obedience of Abraham?

And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Genesis 26:2-5

There are a number of reasons why people miss out on the blessings of God, chief among them being our trust in works, a sense of entitlement or right of qualification. The scriptures describe our God as a ‘gracious God’, meaning that the best of His dealings with us are on the platform of grace. No matter who we are or what we do, the moment we start thinking that we are deserving of the blessings of God, we become disqualified and unfit to receive it. The blessing of God is only available by grace, even though it is through faith. This means that even if you have faith and your faith is because you have done something, you will not be able to receive from God. Your faith has to be in and because of something that has been done already, even if you yourself are instructed to do something. In other words, the foundation of your faith must be in the grace of God, not in your works, that is personal standing or acts of obedience.

Let us look at things from this angle. Could it be that the main reason why Esau missed out on the blessing was because;

He believed it was his right since he was the first son and

His father made him believe that he could receive it by giving him venison?

Before you respond to that, do you also remember what happened when Joseph tried to push his older son, Manasseh, towards the right hand of Israel his father and Ephraim, the younger son towards the left so that the greater blessing would be upon the older and the lesser blessing upon the younger? The Bible says that even though Jacob could not see, he crossed his hands as he was about to lay them on the children, giving the greater blessing to the younger son and the lesser blessing to the older son. This way, the Almighty God was making a clear statement to Joseph that no one gets His blessing just because he is the eldest; it is primarily on the basis of grace. Interestingly, Joseph was not pleased with this Holy Spirit inspired move by his father. In fact, he was offended by it, forgetting that he himself was chosen by God to be greater and more successful than all his brothers put together not because he was the eldest or most deserving among them. It was all because of the grace of election. The one who God selected in spite of the fact that he was the eleventh out of twelve sons now believes that his own firstborn is supposed to receive the blessing by right as the eldest. How ironical! The God of grace would have none of that. This is how many people disqualify themselves as well as others from receiving the best God has for them.

Have you ever heard of some so called ‘prophetic prayer meetings’ especially here in Africa where firstborn sons and daughters are gathered and led in prayers so that the blessings due to them from God by virtue of their position as the eldest would not pass unto their younger ones? They even make people in such meetings believe that they are supposed to be better and more successful than their younger siblings because they are the first and if that is not happening, they must be under what they often term ‘the curse of the firstborn!’

What a massive display of a lack of spiritual understanding! People keep flocking into meetings such as these not knowing that the very ground upon which they are basing their argument before God in prayer, that is, a sense of entitlement, is actually the one disqualifying them. No one can receive anything from the God of all grace by right; it has to be by grace. It is when we make this mistake that the first ends up being the last and the last ends up becoming the first.

Jesus told us a parable about a man who went out to hire labourers that would work on his vineyard. He hired the first set around 6.00 a.m. and they struck a deal on what he was to pay them for the day’s work. Note that the scriptures say that the owner of the vineyard ‘agreed with the labourers’ on what he was to pay them, meaning the labourers were the ones who named their price. The employer simply agreed. However, the man still continued recruiting. He engaged another set of labourers by 9.00 a.m., another at noon, another by 3.00 p.m. and the last set by 5.00 p.m. One interesting thing about the four sets that were recruited after the first set was that they did not name their price. They just left it all at the discretion of their employer. He employed them and promised to pay them, no amount mentioned, and they agreed. That was faith; faith in the fact that their employer will be gracious enough to treat them very well when the time comes for him to reward them. Yes, they worked, but their confidence was not in the fact that they worked. It was in the fact that their boss could be trusted. This is a clear departure from the standpoint and mindset of the first set of recruited labourers. For them, it was strictly business. Their reward must be commensurate with their works, not dependent on the goodwill of one employer somewhere.

Well, as things would eventually turn out, by 6.00 p.m. when the labourers were to close for the day and receive their wages, everyone got paid the same thing; from those who were hired for just one hour to those who worked for twelve! The latecomers even got rewarded before those who came first and did more work! I say it again, ‘The best of God is never for those who trust in their works. It is always for those who trust in His grace!’ Read Matthew 20:1-16.

You may then ask, “Does this mean that our works and standing are of no importance with God? Should we totally ignore works and just trust God in order to have our needs met?” The answer is NO! Your works are still important because they are outward expressions of your faith. What God does not want is you putting your confidence in them as a way of getting things from Him. Jesus puts it this way in Luke 17:6-10;

And the Lord said, if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, ‘Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea’ and it should obey you.

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, we are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

Luke 17:6-10

In summary, the above passage simply says, ‘Have faith. Do that which is commanded. But never claim or assume that you are entitled to anything special just because you have done what was commanded. Let your confidence and trust always be in His grace regardless of the quality of your works before Him.

So then my dear reader, pray, fast, pay your tithes, sow seeds, give to the poor, bless your Pastor, build churches, sponsor missionaries and serve faithfully in the church. These and more are commandments of God. Nonetheless, never put your confidence in the fact that you are doing those things. Never entertain any sense of entitlement by virtue of your perceived right standing or natural birth order. Let your trust always be in the grace of the ‘God Of All Grace.’ That, my dear, is how to please our gracious God and receive the best from Him.

-Paul wrote this:

(All verses are from the King James Version )

Romans 4:1-3, 1) What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2) For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3) For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

-Paul was referencing Genisis 15:6) And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

-Paul used this Old Testament scripture to back up and give validation to the point that he was making, that being true, notice the following verses:

Genesis 26:3) Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4) And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5) Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. - God

...and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;... Because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.

(Notice: Abraham kept God's charge, His commandments, His statutes and His laws, shows that there were commandments, statues and laws given by God before Moses.)

- Belief is counted as righteousness, as long as one believes, (he who endures until the end, the same shall be saved - Matthew 24) but the oath, or promise, God will perform if one obeys God's voice, and keeps His charge, His commandments, His statutes and His laws, and if one believes God, they do what God says.

- And what promise does God give to those who believe Him? That they will be saved.

Revelation 20:11) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

What else did Paul say?

Romans 3:31) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. - Paul

Galatians 2:19) For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. - Paul

- And what does the New Testament say that sin is?

1 John 3:4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

-Therefore if one refuses to keep the law (the unfulfilled parts of the law), one is willfully transgressing the law, that is willful sin, and what happens to those who willfully sin?

Hebrews 10:26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

James 2:20) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Matthew 22:32) I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Mark 12:27) He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

-As touching works and salvation, read the Messiah's parables:

Matthew 18:24-31 notice: the kingdom of heaven is like the man who reckoned with his servants, one of them, who was his servant, his works were evil because he did not have the same mercy for another that he was given, so his debt was remembered, and punishment given.

Matthew 25:14-46

- Notice: reckoned with his own servants, and cast one out because he didn't work, because he did nothing with that which he was given, then described judging the world by thier works.

- Without faith, works are useless, and without works, faith is dead.

- If you want to enter the Kingdom of God and be saved you must believe, have faith, endure until the end (Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13) and be obedient to God from the heart while living in good works, otherwise you will hear these words:

Matthew 25:41) ...Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (please read in context)

- Works alone will not justify you, you must have faith also, and you cannot have one without the other

- The gift of salvation is given at the end to those who have both faith and works and maintained them until the end.

Titus 3:8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. - Paul

Titus 3:14) And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. - Paul

John 15:1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. -The Messiah.

Hebrews 3:6) But the Messiah as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. - Paul

Matthew 5:17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20) For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

- Heaven and earth have not passed away, so neither has one jot or one tittle of the law passed away, so when they say your works have nothing to do with you receiving the promise of Salvation, they lie.

Do not be decieved.

Just because we are not under the law, does not mean the law does not have to be kept, what it means is that we are now under the Messiah, who made the law, and because we believe in the One who made the law, we do what He said.

John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2) The same was in the beginning with God. 3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

- they entice you with thier words so that you will be rebellious and disobedient to the God Who created you, just as they are, it is thier job:

2 Timothy 3:1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6) For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8) Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9) But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. 10) But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11) Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12) Yea, and all that will live godly in the Messiah shall suffer persecution. 13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in the Messiah. 16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17) That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

... unto all good works. - Paul

Again I say, be not decieved, believe only the Messiah, the Son of God, known in Heaven as YHWH, on earth as Yeshua.

Keep the faith.

Israel in Egypt - Lesson 13 - Sabbath to Tuesday Lessons

June 18-24

Sabbath Afternoon

Read for This Week’s Study: Genesis 46; Romans 10:12, 13; Genesis 47; Genesis 48; Acts 3:25, 26; Genesis 49; Philippians 2:10; Genesis 49:29-50:21.

Memory Text: “And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.” Genesis 47:27

Genesis covers the last years of Jacob and Joseph together. We see Jacob (Israel) leave Canaan (Genesis 46) in order to settle in Egypt (Genesis 47), and there he will die (Genesis 49:29-50:21). And yet, even in this Egyptian setting, the prospect of the Promised Land still looms large in the background (Genesis 50:22-26).

As soon as Jacob arrives in Egypt, Jacob blesses Pharaoh (Genesis 47:7-10), thus fulfilling (partially, of course) the Abrahamic promise to be a blessing to the nations (Genesis 12:3). Later, about to die, Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons (Genesis 48). Jacob also blesses his own sons (Genesis 49:1-28) and makes impressive predictions concerning each of them in the context of the future 12 tribes of Israel (Genesis 49:1-27).

The fact, however, that Israel “dwells” in exile, in Egypt as strangers, is in tension with the hope of the Promised Land. And though the book of Genesis itself ends with the children of Israel in Egypt, some of the last words of Joseph point to another place: “I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob” (Genesis 50:24).

Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, June 25.

Sunday, June 19

Jacob Goes to Joseph

Read Genesis 46. What is the significance of Jacob’s departure from Canaan?

When Jacob leaves his place in Canaan, he is full of hope. The assurance that he will no longer be hungry and the good news that Joseph is alive must have given him the momentum that he needed to leave the Promised Land.

Jacob’s departure echoes the experience of Abraham, though in Abraham’s case he was heading to the Promised Land. Jacob hears the same promise Abraham heard from God, namely that He will make him “a great nation” (Genesis 46:3; compare with Genesis 12:2). God’s call here is also reminiscent of God’s covenant with Abraham; in both occasions God uses the same reassuring words “fear not” (Genesis 46:3; compare with Genesis 15:1), which carry the promise of a glorious future.

The comprehensive listing of the names of the children of Israel who went to Egypt, including his daughters (Genesis 46:7), recalls God’s promise of fruitfulness to Abraham even when he was still childless. The number “seventy” (including Jacob, Joseph, and his two sons) expresses the idea of totality. It is “all Israel” that goes to Egypt. It is also significant that the number 70 corresponds to the number of nations (Genesis 10), suggesting that the destiny of all the nations is also at stake in Jacob’s journey.

This truth will become more evident only many years later, after the cross and the fuller revelation of the plan of salvation, which, of course, was for all humanity, everywhere, and not just for the children of Abraham.

In other words, however interesting the stories are regarding this family, the seed of Abraham, and whatever spiritual lessons we can take from them — these accounts are in the Word of God because they are part of salvation history; they are part of God’s plan to bring redemption to as many as possible on this fallen planet.

“For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:12, 13). What does Paul say here that shows the universality of the gospel? More important, what do these words say to us regarding what we as a church should be doing to help spread the gospel?

Jacob Settles in Egypt

It’s very interesting how, despite all that Jacob had been told about Joseph’s being alive in Egypt, the Lord still gave him “visions of the night” (Genesis 46:2) and in them commanded him to leave. Jacob leaves the Land of Promise for, of all places, Egypt — which later becomes associated with the one place that God’s people do not want to go (Deuteronomy 17:16).

Read Genesis 47. What spiritual truths and principles can we find in this account?

“Joseph took five of his brothers to present to Pharaoh and receive from him the grant of land for their future home. Gratitude to his prime minister would have led the monarch to honor them with appointments to offices of state; but Joseph, true to the worship of Jehovah, sought to save his brothers from the temptations to which they would be exposed at a heathen court; therefore he counseled them, when questioned by the king, to tell him frankly their occupation. The sons of Jacob followed this counsel, being careful also to state that they had come to sojourn in the land, not to become permanent dwellers there, thus reserving the right to depart if they chose. The king assigned them a home, as offered, in ‘the best of the land,’ the country of Goshen.” Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 233.

Wisely, too, Pharaoh does not encourage these sojourners to become beggars, living off the largess of their host. He enquires about their “occupation” (Genesis 47:3) in order that they may adjust better in their new environment. He is also eager to use their expertise, and even suggests that they serve him as “rulers over [his] cattle” (Genesis 47:6).

Then, although Jacob, the foreigner, is the inferior, the stranger, he stands before the leader of the land, and, as the text says, “Jacob blessed Pharaoh” (Genesis 47:7). He, the lowly stranger, is the one who blesses Pharaoh, the ruler of mighty Egypt? Why should that be?

The verb ‘amad lifney, “set … before” (Genesis 47:7), is normally used in priestly contexts (Leviticus 14:11). Considering that in ancient Egypt the pharaoh had the status of the highest priest, this means that, in a spiritual sense, Jacob stands higher than the highest priest of Egypt, higher even than Pharaoh himself.

Whatever our station in life, what should it mean to us, in how we treat others, that we are “a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people” (1 Peter 2:9)? What obligations does our faith put on us?

Tuesday, June 21

Jacob Blesses Joseph’s Sons

As Jacob approaches death, he remembers his earlier return to Bethel (Genesis 35:1-15), when he received from God the renewed promise of the “everlasting possession” (Genesis 48:4) that was given to Abraham (Genesis 17:8). The hope of the Promised Land is, therefore, a comforting thought that nurtures his hope as he feels death coming. Jacob turns, then, to Joseph’s two sons, who were born in Egypt, and blesses them, but does so in the context of the future promise regarding his own seed.

Read Genesis 48. Why did Jacob bless Joseph’s two sons here, and not his other grandsons?

Joseph’s two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, are the only grandsons that Jacob blessed. They are thus elevated from the status of grandsons to the status of sons (Genesis 48:5). Although Jacob’s blessing implies a preeminence of the second (Ephraim) over the first (Manasseh), Jacob’s blessing concerns essentially Joseph (Genesis 48:15).

What we see here is a personal testimony about God’s faithfulness to them in the past and His promise for them in the future. Jacob refers to the God of Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 48:15), who had provided food and protection for them. It is the same God who “redeemed me from all evil” (Genesis 48:16). Jacob also has in mind “the God of Bethel” (Genesis 31:13), with whom he wrestled (Genesis 32:29) and who changed his name from Jacob to “Israel” (Genesis 32:26-29).

By referring to all these experiences where God turns the evil into good, Jacob expresses his hope that not only will God take care of the present lives of his grandsons, just as He did for him and Joseph, he also thinks of the future, when his descendants will return to Canaan. This hope is clear from his reference to Shechem (Genesis 48:22), which is not only a piece of land that he had acquired (Genesis 33:19) but also a place where Joseph’s bones will be buried (Josh. 24:32) and where the land will be distributed to the tribes of Israel (Joshua 24:1). Even amid all that has happened, Jacob kept in mind the promises of God, who said that through this family “shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:3).

Read Acts 3:25, 26. According to Peter, how was this promise of Genesis 12:3 being fulfilled? How have we, ourselves, received this blessing?

OKAY SO.

It’s not that often that I talk about what I really think about Jiraiya, and I guess I mean more how I feel about him, since I always try to write my ‘deeper’ headcanons/metas from a more... idk, trying not to get too emotional about it point of view. Basically it’s because I know how controversial he is, and I pretty much ritually avoid a lot of takes because I don’t want to get irritated about something that really doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme, because we’re all entitled to our opinions and I largely get my say through the act of writing and developing him how I see fit.

Which is enough for me, mostly, but for the purpose of reinforcing/building upon how I see my muse’s plight, working through some of my Sannin-feels and also to dip my toes into why I find blindly judgemental/single-faceted takes of him, his priorities and the Sannin’s bond so exasperating, I kinda feel like rambling my thoughts (feelings) anyway!

Politely sticks this stream-of-consciousness mess under a cut.

So sometimes I do think about the fact that Jiraiya kinda, lmao, forgot about Everything Else in the world because of Orochimaru and his (frankly) obsession with him/them. And the fact that a ridiculously significant portion of bad shit that happened is down to his actions/inaction. And the fact that he really did go and leave the likes of Naruto (and maybe to a degree Kakashi, although there’s zero actual evidence he didn’t get involved given the strong indications of a great rapport in the canon), just because he was so hellbent on pursuing Orochimaru, who was not even shown to be affectionate towards him at the best of times. When I think about it in terms of Jiraiya being gone and the main reason we’re given for it, things suck for a number of people, and quite largely because of potentially unrequited/horribly communicated/obsessive JiraOro pursuits, in essence :’)

(And for all it’s still quite the rarepair, Jiraiya does express on accounts that he was destroyed when Oro left. I mean... this is the guy who rarely acknowledges his sadness so... It’s not my bias at all I sware)

Of course JiraTsu is very real in my eyes too, albeit a very different kinda tragic, as is OroTsu. And the messy poly ship? Ohohoho, even better, but... yeah. Tsunade does at least go her own way for a long time, as messed up as that is in itself, for reasons including the fact she seems to pointedly not heal or move on from her grief. And given the absolute debacle that was her and Jiraiya reuniting... and both her and Oro even discussing a possibility of sacrificing him... and just, them in general for that whole arc :’))) yeah. They are without a doubt messy and troubled, but even despite how fraught things become I genuinely think all the furtive expressions and the undercurrents of longing and the evasion of their past exhibits a history much deeper and full of lost love compared to many other team dynamics we get (otherwise the Three Way Divorce wouldn’t have been quite so horrible on them, would it? That and they’d probably have split up after Team Hiruzen was no more, if they really hated each other/just tolerated each other out of familiarity like I sometimes see speculated).

But yeah, back to our main man. Jiraiya’s intense (and frankly very Scorpio of him) love for our first series Big Bad kinda did ruin him and what he was setting out to do in some ways, to the degree that the actual story of Naruto wouldn’t be very much without him in terms of drama. I mean, he always loved a good story, right? So art imitates life, and innit just pathetic poetic.

And in so many ways it is incredibly tragic and pitiable that he’s Just Like That. Idealistic and warping everything terrible, no matter how bad, into adventure in his mind! As growth! As pain that makes you TOUGH and makes you a stronger man! As something to be pushed aside while you just keep on truckin’! Whatever anyone you love throws at you, it’s Totally Fine!

After so long narrating through his personal lens, I’ve come to realise he truly is so convinced that everything bad that happens, is sort of just... something he has to deal with and feel big and guilty and feelsy for while spinning it in ways that enable him to keep going. He just loads it on himself and sorta holds it. The fact he’s so sad and filled with sickly pining grief that he has to try and exorcise it with impulsive bouts of decadence? Fine. And it’s not abnormal at all, how he approaches things with such broad scope and just kinda... thoughtlessly wrecking-balls his way through everything he thinks is a great idea at the time. He experiences the fallout of these things and simultaneously feels the entire ravages of it acutely while compartmentalising it ever so neatly away. The crazy thing, too, is that he’s exceptionally convincing at making everything he does and how he handles things seem so grand and noble and romantic and tragic... but in a humorously self-deprecating and still ultimately very hopeful way, to the degree that I as a mun get caught up in his relentless optimism and forget he actually is a sad and heartbroken guy wrapped up in all this grandiosity.

Sometimes I do step back and look and I just think yeah, fuck, he really is a total disaster! He’s a walking disaster and he’s been so damaging to himself and others in so many ways, all because of acting on emotions and impulses without really thinking about the impact! He really did kinda give up on those who needed him and for what? A love that will never love him or prioritise him back?

A wonderfully tragic theme that I do love with him, don’t get me wrong.

But then at the same time, there’s always more nuance to be had than just ‘he is a disaster and made bad choices, as tragic and romantic as it is, he was actually just selfish and kinda sucked in the end, pathetically whipped by his friends and unable to let go of what they had’. There’s more nuance to be had than reducing him to a purely romantically-inclined character, who just snubs everyone else for a doomed love... because in the end, I think a huge part of JiraOro’s demise in particular was that Oro felt immensely snubbed by Jiraiya when he stayed in Ame, when his loyalty to Konoha (as a place and people, not necessarily a system) and of course loyalty to his own ideals was prioritised over Oro.

To an extent, I feel like Tsunade could have been a similar case, were she not preoccupied with already having lost so much, and besides I really do think she and Jiraiya were quite firmly in best friend zone at that point. With Tsunade not being able to get comfortable around Jiraiya or to pursue any underlying affection for him because of the dumbass way he always behaved (understandably of her tbh), probably until she got with Dan, by which point I reckon Jiraiya started to really come through by showing how he valued her for her, where we see by them having each other’s backs so closely in the second war. Not to mention him generally respecting that his feelings for her have no place by the time he gets her back to Konoha.

In terms of that first split in Ame, Jiraiya, I feel, simply didn’t think him leaving was going to be a big deal, because the three were always fiercely headstrong people who had their own shit going on (simultaneously independent while also being, perhaps not to their knowledge, So Very Codependent). Not only that, but his overly affectionate ways and incessant jolliness were probably considered such a joke that he was basically like ‘they’ll be fine without me’. I certainly don’t think he felt needed by them, which I don’t think is their fault or a point of angst and ‘waaah poor blameless Jiraiya’, because quite honestly, the strain on their relationship was something I fully believe even he didn’t realise he needed out of at the time. His one-track mind was just on ‘save kids, teach kids, this is right, must seize opportunity to be the change I was told I’d be, not continue with this godforsaken war’

Selfish? Maybe. Well-intentioned? Certainly. Intended to hurt anyone or imply he stopped caring? No.

In essence, when it comes to why in the end Jiraiya seemed to be so horrendously bad at being around at the worst of times, at being responsible, whatever else (and I’m not even going to go into scenes intended to be comedic because, they are comedic)... I’ve got to look at it from more than just one view. It’s easy to say ‘he’s ridiculous and terrible because he pretty much flaked on what was important based on his whims/a doomed love/his dick’ (which I have seen said lmao) but there are so many other things at play here.

So I’m thinking, while he was shirking duties (godfatherly mainly)... did he actually consider that his most important duty? Was it anyone’s place to tell him it was? Minato didn’t, as I recall, and when he sacrificed himself he specifically left it to the Third because he (presumably) respected what his teacher was about and knew he wasn’t for staying put. Did Jiraiya not consider his primary duty to be to the prophecy, and in a more general sense fixing the big wrongs and trying to foil big dangers to his home? Were these things not pretty much what he existed for (as much as his faith wavered and went off the rails at times)? Was that not the main source of any real purpose he ever had, being a kid who showed practically no ambition before? Did he not pretty much redesign himself as being ‘from Mt. Myōboku’ rather than Konoha after two devastating wars, and thus is it not understandable for him not to focus solely on Konoha—not outright destroying it, still ultimately loyal to his home and not about to let anyone destroy it, but seeing that the world is in fact so much bigger than just his little town? Is that really something that’s so bad and wrong of him, in a story where the main cast’s country has a pretty fucking nasty system and is established to do so very early on? Is he not pretty revolutionary in his own brand of not blindly serving, but not going on a destroy-it-all frenzy either?

Also, was he not the only one who actually bothered to investigate Akatsuki and the forces that would see Naruto dead, in time? For all he did help bring Akatsuki into existence in ways, it was inevitable from before he even met the orphans that they were going to be groomed/moulded into what they became, regardless of whether Jiraiya came onto the scene. Jiraiya leaving them was just a different kind of suffering to what they were inevitably going to suffer anyway, and hell, with his influence at least there was a time where they might’ve stood a chance of going totally against Madara/Obito’s path, especially while Yahiko was still around. Jiraiya didn’t know that the whole thing with the Ame orphans was, by a design out of his control, doomed to end horribly. So while he felt personally responsible not knowing this, and it’s taken as a given that he was... actually, was he, when there was a master manipulator at play? Was it wrong to want to give some kids a chance?

With regards to all those things I see people say he should have stayed and fixed, that he should have been there, he should have done x y z... Is it not the responsibility of everyone not satisfied with their lot to step up to the plate and make where they live better? Jiraiya wasn’t the only adult. Tsunade, and I absolutely love her, does seem overwhelmingly to be absolved of leaving Konoha because... ??? Kicker is that she too is related to Naruto, of course.

So... was she not also needed for the very material ways she could’ve helped at numerous points? Was she not also placing her grief and lost love before everything else? Are some reasons inherently more ok than others to ditch? As Kakashi’s generation grew up, was it not also then up to them to decide whether they’d change the status quo? Were Minato’s own generation, presumably his own peer group, not complicit in Naruto’s ostracisation? We got a slight taste of rebellion with Asuma, Hiruzen’s own son, but the fact is many Konoha-nin were overwhelmingly complacent with how things were. And yet never get demonised at all for it. Because it’s Jiraiya’s fault for... not staying and giving it all up to be a guardian who could well be depressed and unfit to raise a child... or just being a flaky as hell one that’s never there anyway because he has shit to do? (and in doing the former would let too many things go unchecked by a completely tuned-out Hokage, not gathering all that spicy useful intel, y’know... essentially he wouldn’t have ended up largely doing his job along with the personal shit in between).

Basically when I see claims saying that Jiraiya as an individual should have done pretty much everything better, and somehow been there for everyone that needed him at any given time, and that (mostly Naruto’s) suffering was a failing on Just His part because of his selfish whims... I feel like the point of his tragedy is absolutely missed. That tragedy being that barrelling through things alone is definitely a failing and harmful in numerous ways, as we see with Itachi shouldering everything alone too, and we see them both miss out on Naruto and Sasuke as a result... but at the same time, is just settling down and leaving everything else to chance not also a huge failing, when there are so many other circumstances and enemies acting against you, when you do have the power to change tides, and when so many other people refuse to or can’t seize their own agency? Jiraiya does put his faith in a lot of people too, and a lot of people fail. Don’t fail him, but in a general sense many, like Minato, fail to make the change they wanted to. That’s life in this world, it’s tragic, and after losing a lot of loved ones yeah, he retreats and goes at it alone.

But how can he win? How does he do what’s right, other than by chasing what he thinks he can do to actually help the world, which happens to be bigger and not centred on individuals, even those he cares about?

(and remember, nobody knows Naruto is special-reincarnation-prophecy-boi, which is why I tend not to blame-game any characters for him being treated like so many orphans were because... while it’s not morally right or nice at all, it’s tone deaf to how the world is, to the fact all characters having different degrees of knowledge and priorities, and it’s insensitive of the fact most the characters had their own struggles and were just doing their best with a bad lot gdi).

Hell though, Jiraiya even does put Oro, his big obsessive wild goose chase that whisks him away into selfish pining hopelessly devoted land, on the back burner at points. Maybe not in a lasting way, particularly by the last databook where he’s inspired anew by Naruto, but he does prioritise other shit on numerous occasions. And there’s a lot of shit to try and prioritise.

What I’m trying to say is, Jiraiya can’t solely be held responsible for people. Sure, he’s a character whose decisions were pivotal to events, but what of every other character in the story? Why are they not held to the same crazy high standard of doing and protecting and preventing and somehow doing everything ‘right’ that would have also meant him fitting neatly into the Konoha mould? Would other characters really have been that much better in the position of The Big Guide/Martyr/Tragic Hero/Force For Change character? And also is having a tragic Chaotic Good bastard of a hero not a sign of a damn good and interesting character, that at the very least tried where so many others didn’t? Would Naruto not have been a boring as hell story, whose main protag didn’t really have much conflict to make him compelling, without Jiraiya (among others) being a mess with the best intentions? Without so many other characters having failed him, for him to overcome it and still be able to love and inspire change (albeit through sometimes-clumsy talk-no-jutsu)? Was I missing the point of the story?

............. Hmm!

No longer sure where else I’m going with this now, so.... here, I guess, ends my ode to why character hate (especially that reduces them to One Thing) is dumb, why demonising truly well-meaning characters doesn’t feel particularly woke to me in a cast full of flawed characters and horrible circumstance, and why I’ll defend this poor bastard with far too damn much hinging on him to the end I guess :’)

TL;DR HE’S A DUMBASS AND HE TRIED, OKAY?!

#i feel like this is like... about as bold as i'll get with this subject #{ooc}#{memoirs(headcanons)}#not sure about it being a headcanon as such but it does include some of mine so.... for now it can be #{long post}#{meta&analysis}

Bay, can you talk some more about your upbringing?

Gods that's deep right off the bat, I’m not ready to share everything, there's a lot but ill give an overview and yall can ask questions about the specifics.

I am a half-blood from Germany, my father is a muggle from Brittan and my mother comes from one of the oldest german wizarding family’s, I have several older siblings who I haven't spoken to since I went to live with my muggle grandparents. and I’m sure your all thinking that my mom's family can’t be that traditional if I'm a half-blood right? wrong, I’m a mistake. I’m about 10 years younger than my other siblings, My mom after the death of her husband was devastated and because of who she is in the wizarding world she didn’t know how to great, so she started to go to muggle bars and drink, which is where she met my father, he was the bartender at her favored muggle bar. and they hit it off, mom says that dad was quite the charmer, and they hooked up, it was just one night and after that my mom stopped going to muggle bars, everyone was so surprised when she just stopped drinking all of sudden, and then nine months later I was born.

I unlike my other family never displayed signs of magic as a child, and my mothers family blamed my father for that, he tried to be in my life as much as he could yet it was hard what with him being a muggle and my families thoughts on that, so I only really saw him on holidays, and only if I had been good, I sware I had more rules to follow then women during courting session in the regency era.

when I was about nine and still hadn't displayed signs of magic my mother declared me a squib and sent me to live with my father’s parents in London, I loved living with gran and papa they were amazing, they did continue to home school me yet I got to also explore the muggle world, and I got the chance to learn so so much about myself in the years I spent with them, yet at 11, to everyone's surprise, I reserved an owl, the first one I had gotten since moving away and assumed it was from my parents, it wasn't, I got into Hogwarts, as a squib.

after getting into Hogwarts my mother insisted I move back to Germany to be a part of the family, she insisted that I stay at Hogwarts where no one would know how how much shame I brought my family, she claimed that it would be for my benefit, load of bull she just couldn’t handle the gossip after she had told everyone and their mother in Germany about her squib for a youngest.

at Hogwarts I was placed in Slytherin, and finally made friends my age, I met Draco who was a year above me and being a right prick, yet before he learned I was a half-blood he basically adopted me as his little sister, which was great news for me because my mother would never let me turn down an invitation from a Malfoy, it was amazing to be friends with a kid who hated the expectations of the family as much as I did. Gin and I meant our first year, god we hated each other.

when the time came back at the end of 3rd year I started to stay with Gin and her family, it was safer that way, not having to leave the country all the time, plus by then I was out as nonbinary and I just couldn't handle my mother and the gender norms from my family, so it was for the best.

as soon as I turned 17 and became an adult I married gin, we did it out of necessity, we both knew that because of the war me having family close by was a must and we both knew that my bio family would be on the wrong side of the war, so we did what we had to to keep each other safe, molly was pissed at us for not telling her about it, yet it wasn't for love, god we had only been actually dating for a month at that point.

after the war gin and I stayed married, it might not have been the best idea yet at that time we couldn't bring ourselves to annul it, we had been each other's lifeline during the war and before it, so we stayed married the benefits outweighed the detriments.

Yet by then my bio family had disowned me, and Siri had been through that, so he did to me what James had done for him, he adopted me, legally, I became Bay Black, he had already been acting like my father for years, and Moony was over the moon to have another kid, he always said I was his favorite.

now that’s most of my upbringing, I can talk about life post-Hogwarts as well yet if I do that here it's gonna be massive.

Detective Fraser Chapter 25 What Do You Want?

Lieutenant James Fraser is lead detective at the Yard. He oversees the others and works on those cases that the others can’t solve or that are politically delicate.

He loves his job, which is more 9 to 5 then soldiering. After the war, where he and Claire, served Queen and country with honor and pride, he was more then happy to return to detective work. A job in Scotland Yard was offered due to his outstanding military record. He happily accepted and worked his way up. He is now at the pinnacle of his career and will be able to retire in ten years, leaving him plenty of time to be a full time da to Henry and spoil the grandbabies he expects Julia to have by then.

He sits at his desk reviewing the latest on a string of increasingly violent home invasions that are plaguing Liverpool when his assistant knocks and enters.

“Excuse me Lieutenant Fraser but there is a Mr. Randall here to see you.” He jerks. What does that bloody bastard want? “Sir?” Well there is only one way to find out. Hell!

“Bring him in.” He nods and slips out. A minute later, Randall enters.

“I know you weren’t expecting me.” He says in way of greeting.

“No. I expected you to be long gone.”

“My pardon but I can not leave just yet.”

“Why?” he still stands. Jamie won’t be offering him a chair until he states his business and maybe not even then.

“It is the child. I wish to find my child.”

“I you want me to do what exactly?”

“You are the best around. I seek your help. I sware not to go anywhere near Claire or her daughter..”

“Our daughter!” he growls out.

“Just so. I will have no contact with them. I just wish to find out what became of my child. You are a father. You should understand.”

“I am a father who supported my wife through her pregnancy. Was there at the hospital when my daughter was born. Have been in her life everyday. Not someone who got a lass pregnant outside of wedlock whilst married to another. Then disappeared on them both.”

“You know the disappearance wasn’t my fault.”

“And the rest?” he arched his eyes at him.

“I have made mistakes.” A Scottish noise of contempt from Jamie. “All right, I was a right arse. I felt free when I realized when I was. Free of a marriage I didn’t want. Free of an increasingly clingy mistress. But, as God as my witness, I didn’t know she was pregnant.”

“You know the child was adopted?”

“Yes.”

“Those records are sealed tight and the child might not have even been told of the adoption.”

“I have thought of that.”

“So, you are asking me to disrupt the live of an adult who has no idea of your existence. For what? Before you answer that, have you thought on how to explain meeting a 29 year old, telling the lad or lass, who you are, all while looking no more then thirty yourself?” Jamie studies him while turning the pen he holds around in his hand.

“Christ! I hadn’t thought about that!”

“Go home and do. If you can, well, come back and ask. I will think on helping you in the meantime. Good day Mr. Randall.”

He turns and walks out and Jamie chuckles to himself. “He is a bloody fool.” He returns to his reading.

Exodus 23:20-33 comments: a comparison between ancient Hebrews and modern Christians

Exodus 23:20 ¶ Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. 24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Here is an important doctrine regarding what an angel is, a spiritual representative, the presence of someone, in this case God. God’s name is in the angel.

Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

Judges 2:1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

Verse 24 reinforces God’s disgust with worshipping gods, little g, and idols. They are either figments of man’s imagination or devils.

Deuteronomy 32:17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

Do not think that because you don’t worship Thor or Kali that you are not worshipping a false god. Any time you think, “an education will make me successful,” or, “having that man or woman will make me happy,” or, just constantly wanting something other than what you have you are creating idols, not much differently than ancient people. You are one step away from giving your dependence on education, sex, or material possessions a name, an identity to worship. Anything we place as more important than obedience to God and faithfulness to Him is an idol. We are to do right, to do our best, and to trust God only for our success and happiness. Education is a good thing, intimacy between a husband and wife is an honorable thing, and we need food and shelter but we must not depend on them rather than God.

For instance, in regard to wealth, Paul warns Christians;

1Timothy 6:6 ¶ But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

And Jesus admonished His disciples using the Syriac word for the personification of money.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

With regard to sex as an idol the ancients had goddesses like Ishtar, the goddess of immigrants and prostitutes, a version of which we have in the harbor of New York City also called the goddess Liberty, popular among the Enlightenment thinkers like James Madison, the so-called Father of the Constitution, along with Providence, a reference to a vague universal power but certainly not the God of the Bible. The Greeks and Romans of Paul’s time had Venus and Aphrodite, goddesses of sex, who were worshipped in temples like those of Acrocorinth in Greece with short-haired priestesses, the reason why the Corinthian Christians demanded that their women have long hair which Paul approved while stating that it was not an issue in other churches. See 1Corinthians 11.

Idolatry is and has been one of the prime sins of man against God throughout history. This has been the cause of the perverted, sexualized religion of the ancient world and the decadence of mankind. Idolatry results in sexual perversion and it is the byproduct and result of idolatry.

Romans 1:19 ¶ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

In that passage we can see why society decays and who is responsible for its decay. God gives delusions and permits our more decadent natures to take preeminence.

Whether our idol is the flag or Constitution, which Mormon Joseph Smith convinced patriots was divinely inspired by God, or whether it is money, sex, or education idolatry is one of the prime reasons that American Christianity is so powerless to impact a dying world in any way other than providing humanistic drivel to control a congregation under the guise of fundamentalist, right-wing or liberal, left-wing preaching.

Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

God is promising these physical, literal Hebrews coming into a physical, literal land blessings and prosperity and protection and the written words of God are a vital part of those blessings. By the way, don’t let some wicked preacher tell you that if you attend church whenever the doors are open you won’t ever get sick or have trouble in your life. We cannot apply literal, physical promises to the Jews before Christ to the Christian as they are not promises made to us under this dispensation. For all of your slavish devotion to a fundamentalist preacher’s will and whims you will have trouble in your life and you will get sick at some point and you will probably have a child that goes astray, etc. etc.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

While Christians were not promised an earthly country we would do well in life to honor these admonitions and warnings that God has given. Idolatry will destroy your walk with God and make you a caricature of a person of faith to the unsaved, a cartoon, a joke. You cannot uplift an idol in one hand and God in the other without looking stupid, a hypocrite, or just plain evil.

Even though Christians do not have a country on this earth the historical principle laid down in Romans, chapter one, applies to nations as we know them. Let me give you a brief religious history of America to show you how idolatry can be poison. America’s self-worship as idolatry has its roots in the country’s earliest times. The good thing, which was the belief and faith that this new land was to be a nation set apart by God for a divine purpose was a common thread preached throughout. However, a specific millennial belief, that Christ would set up a kingdom on earth without being present Himself to last for literally a thousand years or with the millennium as just representing a long time was the standard, evangelical Christian view until the 20th century. This is called Postmillennialism, with Christ returning at the end of the thousand years. With a few exceptions it was believed that Christ would rule through His church. But there was no doubt that America would be the location where this period would begin. Men like John Cotton, Ephraim Huit, Increase Mather, John Davenport, John Eliot, Samuel Sewall, Cotton Mather, and Joseph Morgan preached an imminent millennium and Eliot, combining the fervor of what was called Fifth Kingdom Monarchyism prevalent in England, was especially hopeful that the New Jerusalem of the Book of Revelation would descend upon America itself.[1] Sermons were preached before Congress that said that America was the Promised Land and that the events of Revelation would take place here before we converted the world and established Christ’s kingdom for Him.[2]

An actual, historical Kingdom of God was expected, with the millennium, a thousand years of Christ’s reign through His church, coming soon.[3] Jonathan Edwards, the Congregationalist preacher so important to the series of revivals in 1700s America called The First Great Awakening, viewed the millennium not as Christ physically returning to save a ruined world, but a gradual process where righteousness and the control of Godly men became prevalent as Christ ruled through His church.[4]

Millennial ideals were also preached during the time of and after the American Revolution pointing more and more to America’s God-chosen role in the bringing in of Christ’s Kingdom, linked to evolutionary progress. President of Yale College Ezra Stiles said;

It may have been of the Lord that Christianity is to be found in such greater purity in this church exiled into the wilderness of America, and that its purest body should be evidently advancing forward, by an augmented natural increase and spiritual edification, into a singular superiority, with the ultimate subserviency to the glory of God to converting the world.[5]

The nineteenth century was an era in secular and religious thought of a progress that was inevitable.[6] In Protestant evangelical faith, Postmillennialism, that mankind would create a millennial kingdom without Christ’s physical presence, was, “the commonly received doctrine,” of the century.[7] The documents, the speeches, the sermons are available for you to read, mostly free. Don’t take my word for it. During this period this doctrine was the intellectual compromise between the devastation of God’s judgment on the world portrayed in the book of Revelation in the Bible and the evolutionary theory of constant movement upward to better and better times, and a utopia.[8] Liberal religious thought in collusion with the growing atheism of science brought about a weakening of the hopeful, religious viewpoint of a coming golden age created by Christians dependent upon their own righteousness but it was the nightmare of the Civil War and the calamity of World War One that drove the nail into the coffin and, “it became a relic of a lost world.”[9]

But, at the time of the Civil War’s commencement most evangelical Christians in America believed that the United States was God’s Promised Land and white, Anglo-Saxon Americans His chosen people, destined to bring in a ‘golden age’ of peace, prosperity, and righteousness as Christ ruled the earth for either a literal thousand years or for just a long period of time, represented by the word millennium, through His church. Lincoln himself referred to America, not Christ, as the last best hope of earth.[10]

It was not unusual for nations with a state church to view themselves as God’s chosen people. England, Russia, and Germany were notorious for this view. German sermons during World War One even likened the German Army to the Holy Spirit moving in the world and ‘God With Us’ in German was on the belt buckles of soldiers. Glorification and even deification of the state was one prime motivator in the half-century of war.

President Woodrow Wilson’s mentor at Johns Hopkins University, Richard Ely, put the thought of the elite and great planners whose government was God’s agent on earth or His replacement even like this;

Now, it may rationally be maintained that, if there is anything divine on earth, it is the State, the product of the same God-given instincts which led to the establishment of the Church and of the Family. It was once held that kings ruled by right divine, and in any widely accepted belief, though it be afterwards discredited, there is generally found a kernel of truth. In this case it was the divine right of the state.[11]

But worshipping the state as a “Christnation,” as the Redeemer Nation of the world, was America’s undoing. With the leadership making government God’s agent on earth rather than God’s people and with the common Christian expecting that we could create a perfect world without Christ physically present we had this great religious expectation that was blatantly false.

That’s why today so many think that they are electing a pastor or a messiah when they vote for a president and then try to Christianize their candidate if elected to make him look like something he is not. It all boils down to state-worship.

World War One, the Jazz Age, the automobile, the sexual revolt of the 1920s, the triumph of evolution in science, the growing importance of the Entertainment industry all figured in to God’s judgment on the nation for its idolatry. As an example, where women who wore makeup were derided as ‘painted city women’ before the war, with strong suggestions of immorality, the demands by boys returning home that their women look like French girls has resulted in the fact that Christian women wouldn’t dare leave home without makeup on today. In addition, the lax morals produced by boys and girls being able to go off alone in a car and listening to Ragtime and Jazz watching Hollywood movies glorifying decadence was a chilling reminder that something was very wrong in America. We had the Great Depression, remember? Then, another devastating war and a so-called Cold War for 50 years pounded away at our families and our institutions. Look at today. Do you not doubt we are under God’s judgment? Look at Israel in Kings and Chronicles. Don’t you see America in every page? Ancient Israelites, like Americans, believed that they were special and by virtue of their exceptional place in God’s ordained world they deserved peace and prosperity, both of which were taken away over time for their idolatry.

Fundamentalism came about in the early 1900s because America, under God’s judgment, appeared to be descending into chaos and darkness. The King James-only movement came about in 1964 because fundamentalism had gone crazy with regard to its denial of the Bible we had in front of us. The problem, fundamentalists wrongly assumed, was non-Christians polluting God’s country. The actual problem was Christian idolatry and not venerating God’s word above our ambitions. This is how idolatry, in this case, worship of one’s country as a god on earth, can do horrible damage.

We are held to the same standard as everyone else and we have been found wanting. I refer you to the passage I quoted earlier from Romans, chapter one, again to find out why things are the way they are.

But, it must be said, unlike the Hebrews assuming control over an area of land the promise to Christians is an eternal inheritance. We don’t get a utopia here, a millennium without Christ’s physical presence, but we can get an awful mess.

It is interesting in Verse 28 how God promises to use creatures to drive out the inhabitants of the land He has promised to the Hebrews slowly. God has used many naturally occurring events as weapons. Remember the plagues of Egypt?

Compare what ancient Israel was to be with what America was to be to see a difference dispensationally. Israel was not to permit idolatry in its borders and was to drive out the idol-worshippers lest they pollute the Hebrew religion, which their existence did, as we can see by reading the Bible. America is a pluralistic nation with many different religious traditions or no religion at all. We cannot remove everyone from the land who does not believe exactly what we believe or how we believe, no matter how much you would like to do that. The Hebrews didn’t do that either, but it was their apostasy that garnered them God’s wrath.

I think it is important to realize that every Christian now is a type of the nation of Israel then, as the children of Israel then were a type of every Christian today. Our land is a spiritual land and our Canaanites are our sins. God promises us that He will drive out our sins if we obey Him as He promised the Hebrews He would drive out the wicked, child-sacrificing, bestiality practicing, temple-prostitute patronizing Canaanites if the Hebrews obeyed.

But, having said all that, I would go on to say that if Christians themselves would repent and turn from their sins and obey God in the best way they know how, believing His word, they would not be deceived by lying, gutless, and corrupt politicians and their land would not be given over to the perversion, violence, and decay that is so prevalent. God honors obedience, not obedience as defined by some fundamentalist whack-job preacher or evangelist who just wants to control them but obedience and righteousness as defined by the Bible. The problem with America is not homosexuals, left-wing demagogues, drug-dealers, or liberal judges. The problem with America is the faithlessness of Christians who regard the Bible as a type of Emily Post’s book on etiquette to be observed if convenient and who regard God as more of a concept or idea than a real, living entity who controls every aspect of reality from their living room to the edges of the universe.

NEVER MIX WITH THE GENTILES

YOU SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM ZION

FROM THE KING JAMES BIBLE (KJV 1611)

BY AUTHOR: J.R.WILLIS

***INTRODUCTION***

NEVER MIX OR MARRY INTO THE HEATHEN:

Shalom Dear Zion,

12 Tribes of Israel, you are commanded by Great Father Ahayah to NEVER mix, marry, or intermingle with Edom-(THE CAUCASIAN NATIONS), or any of the 70 heathen nations outside of our Holy Nation.

Like the Err of King Solomon King Ahab and countless other Israelites who intermarried with strange foreign women, the gentiles will have you worshiping their demonic gods and you will also be introducing heathen genetics into the Pure Holy Bloodline of Adam which is the Nation of Israel. In other words, you potentially brings abominable genetics into the Holy Bloodline and pollute it with the gentiles whom many are mixed with the very unholy blood of the Fallen such as the Canaanites and the Amalekites.

When doing this, your children shall not be counted as Israelites as they are now BASTARD children, being born as Children of the Flesh because marriage to a heathen woman or man is not permitted nor sanctified by the Most High, thus making it an invalid and unlawful union.

When you illegally mix with the gentiles such as Amalek-(FALSE CAUCASIAN EUROPEAN EDOMITE JEWS), you mix your seed with the demonic offspring of the Nephilim, the Most High shall not consider your children as human at all and these offspring shall eventually be destroyed as the Lord has sworn to annihilate this abominable people from off of the face of the earth-(EXODUS 17).

All children born from these unlawful unions will not be accepted by His Majesty the Most High, are entitled to no inheritance and shall not be counted as Israelites at all.This is how the wicked House of Edom has supplanted many of our people and other nations as well by BREEDING THEM OUT and taking over another people.

The word (HOLY) means to be separate or set apart. Zion the Most High made you Holy unto himself and you are the Lord's portion out of all of the nations under the heavens and this is why you were chosen by his Majesty the Most High, given His Holy Laws, and the reason why Lord Yashaya was sent through you Zion, through the Tribe of the Kings, the Tribe of Judah.

The filthy gentiles promote race mixing throughout all of their degenerate culture today such as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the other whore Kardashian Amalekite women, and on and on.

They intentionally promote this evil in order to continue the destruction and downfall of our nation all to their own benefit because the more that the nation of Israel sins and goes against our Heavenly Father's Holy Laws, Statutes, Commandments, and Ordinances, the More Zion remains blinded, desolated, and destroyed as the Laws of God bring life, Strength, and Prosperity among our people as they were intended to from the very foundations of the world.

Stay away from the heathen as they promote this wicked ideology of race mixing in the Virgin Daughter of Babylon-(AMERICAN) and throughout the entire world which is completely against laws of Great Father Ahayah. As it is written, any man or woman that marries outside of the 12 Tribes of Israel, HATES HIS OWN BLOOD.

For countless centuries Esau-(THE CAUCASIAN NATIONS) and the other 69 gentile nations have raped you, robbed you, slaughtered you, have enslaved you, hated you, persecuted you, mocked you, rejected you and now all of a sudden in the last 100 years of our final captivity, you want to be all up on them, kiss them, marry them, and forget about all of the countless genocide that they have done unto you in their CONFEDERACY OF EVIL against you Zion??? You best wake up Israel, or die with the wicked gentiles whom the Lord shall destroy very soon and to a degree is already destroying if you see Prophecy being revealed daily as you should be.

Don't take my word for it, allow us to read what the Most High says about the matter:

***IMPORTANT NOTES***

GREAT FATHER AHAYAH FORBIDS RACE MIXING-(INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE):

GENESIS 24:4

But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

GENESIS 28:1

“And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.”

EZRA 9:2

For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.

EZRA 10:1-44

10 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.

2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

4 Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it. 5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware. 6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. 7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; 8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. 9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain. 10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. 11 Now therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. 12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do. 13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing. 14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us. 15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. 16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. 17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month. 18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. 19 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass. 20 And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah. 21 And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah. 22 And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah. 23 Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. 24 Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri. 25 Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah. 26 And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah. 27 And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza. 28 Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai. 29 And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth. 30 And of the sons of Pahathmoab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh. 31 And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon, 32 Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah. 33 Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei. 34 Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel, 35 Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh, 36 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 37 Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau, 38 And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei, 39 And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah, 40 Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai, 41 Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah, 42 Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph. 43 Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah. 44 All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

2 ESDRAS-(GREEK VERSION NAME OF PROPHET EZRA) 8:81-96: Yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and raised up the desolate Sion, that they have given us a sure abiding in Jewry and Jerusalem. 82 And now, O Lord, what shall we say, having these things? for we have transgressed thy commandments, which thou gavest by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, 83 That the land, which ye enter into to possess as an heritage, is a land polluted with the pollutions of the strangers of the land, and they have filled it with their uncleanness. 84 Therefore now shall ye not join your daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take their daughters unto your sons. 85 Moreover ye shall never seek to have peace with them, that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the land unto your children for evermore. 86 And all that is befallen is done unto us for our wicked works and great sins; for thou, O Lord, didst make our sins light, 87 And didst give unto us such a root: but we have turned back again to transgress thy law, and to mingle ourselves with the uncleanness of the nations of the land. 88 Mightest not thou be angry with us to destroy us, till thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name? 89 O Lord of Israel, thou art true: for we are left a root this day. 90 Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee. 91 And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, weeping, and lying flat upon the ground before the temple, there gathered unto him from Jerusalem a very great multitude of men and women and children: for there was great weeping among the multitude. 92 Then Jechonias the son of Jeelus, one of the sons of Israel, called out, and said, O Esdras, we have sinned against the Lord God, we have married strange women of the nations of the land, and now is all Israel aloft. 93 Let us make an oath to the Lord, that we will put away all our wives, which we have taken of the heathen, with their children, 94 Like as thou hast decreed, and as many as do obey the law of the Lord. 95 Arise and put in execution: for to thee doth this matter appertain, and we will be with thee: do valiantly. 96 So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the priests and Levites of all Israel to do after these things; and so they sware.

***IMPORTANT NOTES***

KING SOLOMON FELL DUE TO HIS MANY FOREIGN WIVES:

1 KINGS 11:1-43 1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites: 2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father. 7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded. 11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen. 14 And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom. 15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom; 16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:) 17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child. 18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh. 21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country. 22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise. 23 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: 24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus. 25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king. 27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father. 28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. 29 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field: 30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces: 31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: 32 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:) 33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father. 34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes: 35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. 36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there. 37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. 38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. 39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. 40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 41 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? 42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

THOU SHALT NOT GIVE THY SONS OR DAUGHTERS TO THE GENTILES, FOR YOU ARE A HOLY PEOPLE UNTO THE LORD:

DEUTERONOMY 7:1-11

7 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

NUMBERS 25:1-9

25 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. 4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel. 5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor. 6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

***CONFIRMED IN JASHER 85***

JASHER 85:1-63

Book of Jasher, Chapter 85 1 And king Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south, heard that the Israelites had come by the way of the spies, and he arranged his forces to fight against the Israelites. 2 And the children of Israel were greatly afraid of him, for he had a great and heavy army, so the children of Israel resolved to return to Egypt. 3 And the children of Israel turned back about the distance of three days' journey unto Maserath Beni Jaakon, for they were greatly afraid on account of the king Arad. 4 And the children of Israel would not get back to their places, so they remained in Beni Jaakon for thirty days. 5 And when the children of Levi saw that the children of Israel would not turn back, they were jealous for the sake of the Lord, and they rose up and fought against the Israelites their brethren, and slew of them a great body, and forced them to turn back to their place, Mount Hor. 6 And when they returned, king Arad was still arranging his host for battle against the Israelites. 7 And Israel vowed a vow, saying, If thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. 8 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and he delivered the Canaanites into their hand, and he utterly destroyed them and their cities, and he called the name of the place Hormah. 9 And the children of Israel journeyed from Mount Hor and pitched in Oboth, and they journeyed from Oboth and they pitched at Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab. 10 And the children of Israel sent to Moab, saying, Let us pass now through thy land into our place, but the children of Moab would not suffer the children of Israel to pass through their land, for the children of Moab were greatly afraid lest the children of Israel should do unto them as Sihon king of the Amorites had done to them, who had taken their land and had slain many of them. 11 Therefore Moab would not suffer the Israelites to pass through his land, and the Lord commanded the children of Israel, saying, That they should not fight against Moab, so the Israelites removed from Moab. 12 And the children of Israel journeyed from the border of Moab, and they came to the other side of Arnon, the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites, and they pitched in the border of Sihon, king of the Amorites, in the wilderness of Kedemoth. 13 And the children of Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, 14 Let us pass through thy land, we will not turn into the fields or into the vineyards, we will go along by the king's highway until we shall have passed thy border, but Sihon would not suffer the Israelites to pass. 15 So Sihon collected all the people of the Amorites and went forth into the wilderness to meet the children of Israel, and he fought against Israel in Jahaz. 16 And the Lord delivered Sihon king of the Amorites into the hand of the children of Israel, and Israel smote all the people of Sihon with the edge of the sword and avenged the cause of Moab. 17 And the children of Israel took possession of the land of Sihon from Aram unto Jabuk, unto the children of Ammon, and they took all the spoil of the cities. 18 And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites. 19 And all the children of Israel resolved to fight against the children of Ammon, to take their land also. 20 So the Lord said to the children of Israel, Do not besiege the children of Ammon, neither stir up battle against them, for I will give nothing to you of their land, and the children of Israel hearkened to the word of the Lord, and did not fight against the children of Ammon. 21 And the children of Israel turned and went up by the way of Bashan to the land of Og, king of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out to meet the Israelites in battle, and he had with him many valiant men, and a very strong force from the people of the Amorites. 22 And Og king of Bashan was a very powerful man, but Naaron his son was exceedingly powerful, even stronger than he was. 23 And Og said in his heart, Behold now the whole camp of Israel takes up a space of three parsa, now will I smite them at once without sword or spear. 24 And Og went up Mount Jahaz, and took therefrom one large stone, the length of which was three parsa, and he placed it on his head, and resolved to throw it upon the camp of the children of Israel, to smite all the Israelites with that stone. 25 And the angel of the Lord came and pierced the stone upon the head of Og, and the stone fell upon the neck of Og that Og fell to the earth on account of the weight of the stone upon his neck. 26 At that time the Lord said to the children of Israel, Be not afraid of him, for I have given him and all his people and all his land into your hand, and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon. 27 And Moses went down to him with a small number of the children of Israel, and Moses smote Og with a stick at the ankles of his feet and slew him. 28 The children of Israel afterward pursued the children of Og and all his people, and they beat and destroyed them till there was no remnant left of them. 29 Moses afterward sent some of the children of Israel to spy out Jaazer, for Jaazer was a very famous city. 30 And the spies went to Jaazer and explored it, and the spies trusted in the Lord, and they fought against the men of Jaazer. 31 And these men took Jaazer and its villages, and the Lord delivered them into their hand, and they drove out the Amorites who had been there. 32 And the children of Israel took the land of the two kings of the Amorites, sixty cities which were on the other side of Jordan, from the brook of Arnon unto Mount Herman. 33 And the children of Israel journeyed and came into the plain of Moab which is on this side of Jordan, by Jericho. 34 And the children of Moab heard all the evil which the children of Israel had done to the two kings of the Amorites, to Sihon and Og, so all the men of Moab were greatly afraid of the Israelites. 35 And the elders of Moab said, Behold the two kings of the Amorites, Sihon and Og, who were more powerful than all the kings of the earth, could not stand against the children of Israel, how then can we stand before them? 36 Surely they sent us a message before now to pass through our land on their way, and we would not suffer them, now they will turn upon us with their heavy swords and destroy us; and Moab was distressed on account of the children of Israel, and they were greatly afraid of them, and they counselled together what was to be done to the children of Israel. 37 And the elders of Moab resolved and took one of their men, Balak the son of Zippor the Moabite, and made him king over them at that time, and Balak was a very wise man. 38 And the elders of Moab rose up and sent to the children of Midian to make peace with them, for a great battle and enmity had been in those days between Moab and Midian, from the days of Hadad the son of Bedad king of Edom, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, unto these days. 39 And the children of Moab sent to the children of Midian, and they made peace with them, and the elders of Midian came to the land of Moab to make peace in behalf of the children of Midian. 40 And the elders of Moab counselled with the elders of Midian what to do in order to save their lives from Israel. 41 And all the children of Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now therefore the children of Israel lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field, for thus did they do to the two kings of the Amorites who are stronger than we are. 42 And the elders of Midian said to Moab, We have heard that at the time when Sihon king of the Amorites fought against you, when he prevailed over you and took your land, he had sent to Beor the son of Janeas and to Balaam his son from Mesopotamia, and they came and cursed you; therefore did the hand of Sihon prevail over you, that he took your land. 43 Now therefore send you also to Balaam his son, for he still remains in his land, and give him his hire, that he may come and curse all the people of whom you are afraid; so the elders of Moab heard this thing, and it pleased them to send to Balaam the son of Beor. 44 So Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab sent messengers to Balaam, saying, 45 Behold there is a people come out from Egypt, behold they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me. 46 Now therefore come and curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me, peradventure I shall prevail to fight against them, and drive them out, for I heard that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and whom thou cursest is cursed. 47 So the messengers of Balak went to Balaam and brought Balaam to curse the people to fight against Moab. 48 And Balaam came to Balak to curse Israel, and the Lord said to Balaam, Curse not this people for it is blessed. 49 And Balak urged Balaam day by day to curse Israel, but Balaam hearkened not to Balak on account of the word of the Lord which he had spoken to Balaam. 50 And when Balak saw that Balaam would not accede to his wish, he rose up and went home, and Balaam also returned to his land and he went from there to Midian. 51 And the children of Israel journeyed from the plain of Moab, and pitched by Jordan from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim, at the end of the plains of Moab. 52 And when the children of Israel abode in the plain of Shittim, they began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 53 And the children of Israel approached Moab, and the children of Moab pitched their tents opposite to the camp of the children of Israel. 54 And the children of Moab were afraid of the children of Israel, and the children of Moab took all their daughters and their wives of beautiful aspect and comely appearance, and dressed them in gold and silver and costly garments. 55 And the children of Moab seated those women at the door of their tents, in order that the children of Israel might see them and turn to them, and not fight against Moab. 56 And all the children of Moab did this thing to the children of Israel, and every man placed his wife and daughter at the door of his tent, and all the children of Israel saw the act of the children of Moab, and the children of Israel turned to the daughters of Moab and coveted them, and they went to them. 57 And it came to pass that when a Hebrew came to the door of the tent of Moab, and saw a daughter of Moab and desired her in his heart, and spoke with her at the door of the tent that which he desired, whilst they were speaking together the men of the tent would come out and speak to the Hebrew like unto these words: 58 Surely you know that we are brethren, we are all the descendants of Lot and the descendants of Abraham his brother, wherefore then will you not remain with us, and wherefore will you not eat our bread and our sacrifice? 59 And when the children of Moab had thus overwhelmed him with their speeches, and enticed him by their flattering words, they seated him in the tent and cooked and sacrificed for him, and he ate of their sacrifice and of their bread. 60 They then gave him wine and he drank and became intoxicated, and they placed before him a beautiful damsel, and he did with her as he liked, for he knew not what he was doing, as he had drunk plentifully of wine. 61 Thus did the children of Moab to Israel in that place, in the plain of Shittim, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel on account of this matter, and he sent a pestilence amongst them, and there died of the Israelites twenty-four thousand men. 62 Now there was a man of the children of Simeon whose name was Zimri, the son of Salu, who connected himself with the Midianite Cosbi, the daughter of Zur, king of Midian, in the sight of all the children of Israel.
