The Two Houses of Israel.
11/21/2008
Both southern and northern kingdoms have been scattered to the four corners of the world and Messiahs coming was to regather the only two people He has had a covenant relationship with Judah and Israel. If you make the mistake and calling all of Israel “Jews” then you have disregarded all the prophecies of the Tanach and the purpose of Yeshua coming to lay down His life to Renew the covenant with Judah and Israel.
Yirmeyahu 31:31 “Behold, the days come, says YHVH, that I will make a renewed covenant with the house of Yisra'el, and with the house of Yehudah”. Messianic Hebrews 8:8 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “That I will make a renewed covenant with the house of Yisra'el and with the house of Yehudah”. As you see Yahweh is still dealing with the same two people and His plan has not changed. But you say it did change! Yahweh has now turned to the gentiles. If you understand the Older Covenant you know that the gentiles are still Israel, but they are no longer called Israel. Hosea 1:9 “He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be yours. Yet the number of the children of Yisra'el will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured nor numbered; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God”. I would like to give you the definition of a gentile. Ephesians 2:11”Therefore remember that once you, the Goyim (Gentiles) in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision,” (in the flesh, made by hands); that you were at that time separate from Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of Yisra'el, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Messiah”. You are now Israel. Yeshua has made the house of Judah and the house of Israel (non-Jews) Echad. (One) If you know the Tanach and its idioms and the prophecies of Israel you see the lost sheep of Israel every where in the Renewed covenant. The are the ones that are “far off” ; “separated”. Remember Kefa’s visions Acts 10:11”He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the eretz (earth), in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the eretz (earth) , wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky. A voice came to him, “Rise, Rock, kill and eat!” Another picture of northern Israel. Henay. Watch! Hosea 2:18 “In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, And with the birds of the sky, And with the creeping things of the ground”. Yahweh was speaking to northern Israel and still is speaking, to northern Israel. Yeshua has been gathering the lost sheep of Israel for two thousand years and He is about to resurrect Lazarus (Israel). So let me tell you the story. Please turn to Yochanan (John) chapter 11 and let us begin to examine how Yeshua prophesied that the Christians would just not understand what He was doing and the gospel of His dying for our sins and regathering the two houses of Israel. By the way this is why most Jews do not believe in Yeshua. Because He did not fulfill the prophecy of regathering the two houses of Israel and making them one in the renewed covenant. The Tribulation is the purpose of regathering all of Israel. It is not about separating the houses of Israel through the rapture of the church, but gathering Judah and Israel together to defeat our enemy, Edom. Yes the tribulation is when Ezekiel 37:15 will come to pass. “The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying, You, son of man, take one tree, and write on it, For Yehudah, and for the children of Yisra'el his companions: then take another tree, and write on it, For Yosef, the stick of Efrayim, and for all the house of Yisra'el his companions: and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand”. Who is blind you say? The Jews. Or does the scriptures say we all are blind. Do you think that because we have excepted Yeshua in our lives we now are not like those Jews, blind? Question? Do you reject the older covenant and say, that is for the Jews? Do you keep Sabbath or His feasts? Do you use His Name Yahweh or do you call Him “Baal” (Lord). All these things Yahweh said His people would do in the last days. Profane His name and His Sabbaths and His feasts. Are you His people? Then this would apply to you if you have disregared the old ways. Yirmeyahu 6:16”Thus says Yahweh, Stand you in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein”. II Kings 17:32-41 Nothing has changed. “So they feared Yahweh, and made to them from among themselves Kohanim (priests) of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. They feared Yahweh, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. To this day they do after the former manner: they don’t fear Yahweh, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the Torah or after the mitzvah(commandment) which Yahweh commanded the children of Ya`akov, whom he named Yisra'el; with whom Yahweh had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: but Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim with great power and with an outstretched arm, him shall you fear, and to him shall you bow yourselves, and to him shall you sacrifice: and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the mitzvah(commandment), which He wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore; and you shall not fear other gods: and the covenant that I have made with you shall not forget; neither shall you fear other gods: but Yahweh your God shall you fear; and He will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. However they did not listen, but they did after their former manner. So these nations (Gentiles) feared Yahweh, and served their engraved images; their children likewise, and their children’s children, as did their fathers, so do they to this day”. Yochanan 11 The story of Martha and Mary and the resurrection of Israel.
