                 WHAT'S IN A NAME?
                     by Eddie Chumney

      Many people believe that we are living in the end of days. The 
nation of Israel is in a struggle for the survival of their nation. 
They have been involved in a "peace / piece" agreement with the PLO 
which many in evangelical Christians believe is linked with the 
peace agreement that Israel makes with her neighbors associated
with Jacob's trouble or the tribulation.

    Since the tragic events of Sept 11 in the USA, we are now in a 
struggle and a war against terrorism against the "house of Esau" 
which has no foreseeable end and has changed the lives of all 
Americans.

     Meanwhile, in the last 10 years, there has been a MIGHTY revival 
among the people of the God of Israel to explore and embrace their 
rich Hebraic heritage.

     We are living in unprecedented and unparalled days. What does it 
all mean?

     These end-time events in the nation of Israel, in the USA and 
among the people of the God of Israel to embrace their Hebraic roots 
are all related and connected. What is the association? All of this 
will result in the fullness of time in the restorationa and 
reunification of both houses of Israel (Ezekiel 37:15-28).

     I wrote a book, "Restoring the Two Houses of Israel" which 
explains and connects the events in Israel, USA and the embracing of 
our Hebraic heritage and how it is all linked and associated with the 
end of days and the dawn of the Messianic Era.

      When Ezekiel 37:15-28  happens, the Bible says that we will return to 
the "mountains of Israel". The "mountains of Israel" is also called 
in the Bible the mountains of Judea / Samaria. The western world 
calls these lands, the "West Bank". In Ezekiel 37:21-22 it is 
written:

KJV Ezekiel 37:21 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:

      Meanwhile, the ENEMY claims that the "mountains of Israel" is 
his land. In Ezekiel 36:1-2 it is written:

KJV Ezekiel 36:1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the MOUNTAINS 
OF ISRAEL, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: 2
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the ENEMY hath said against you, Aha,
even the ancient high places are OURS in POSSESSION:

       The Orthodox Jews call the restoration and regathering of both 
houses of Israel (Ezekiel 37:15-28), the ingathering of the Exiles or 
the Messianic redemption.

      The prophets of Israel tell us that the Ingathering of the 
Exiles / Messianic redemption is likened to the historical Egyptian 
redemption. In Michah 7:15 it is written:

KJV Micah 7:15 ACCORDING to the days of thy coming out of the land of
Egypt (historical)  WILL I SHEW (future)  unto him marvellous things.

    In Hosea 2:14-15 it is written:

KJV Hosea 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her
into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. 15 And I will
give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door
of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and 
AS IN THE DAY when she came up out of the LAND of EGYPT.

    If we are living in the end of days and the dawn of the 
Messianic Era, there will be a future redemption of both houses of 
Israel which will be a parallel of the historical Egyptian 
redemption. So, what was ONE of the issues during the historical 
Egyption redemption? It was the NAME of the God of Israel.

         PHAROAH DIDN'T KNOW THE GOD OF ISRAEL

KJV Exodus 5:1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told
Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that
they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

KJV Exodus 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey
his voice to let Israel go? I KNOW NOT the LORD, neither will I let
Israel go.

KJV Exodus 5:3 And they said, The God of the HEBREWS hath met with us:
let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and
sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence,
or with the sword.

         Pharoah and Egypt are a type of the world and the world's 
system and the political "Babylonian system" in the end of days that 
is otherwise known as 'One World Government'.

         Since the tragic events of Sept 11 in the USA, Americans 
love to sing 'God Bless America'. The question which needs to be 
asked is, 'What god are we asking to bless America'?  The US 
government is MORE concerned with 'not offending Islam' and promoting 
ecumenicalism (as was seen in the Sept 14 national prayer service in 
Washington DC) than seeking the face of the God of Israel even though 
President Bush said during the most recent USA elections that the 
most admirable person in his life was 'Jesus'.  If President Bush (I 
voted for him) really admires Jesus / the Messiah, He would be on his hands and 
knees seeking the face of the God of Israel . If President Bush 
really wanted to have "God bless America" then he would have MORE 
reverence and respect for the promise that the God of Israel made 
with Abraham where He promised the descendents of Abraham a LAND 
(West Bank) rather than being so concerned with "not offending Islam" 
and trying to build an "Arab coalition" to "fight terrorism" by 
viewing that the PLO are "freedom fighters" and that Yassir Arafat is a 
valid "peace partner".

    No, the "god" that the US government is encouraging it's people 
to pray to is the "god" that is perceived in the minds and religions of 
those who prayed to "god". For some, "god" was the new age god. For 
others, "god" was Allah --- the moon god. For others, "god" was the 
hindu "god" or the buddah "god". So, we can all pray that "god" will 
bless America.

    WHERE WAS GOD DURING THE SEPT 11 ATTACKS?

     Shortly after the Sept 11 attacks upon the USA, I was watching
Larry King on CNN and he had guest panelists consisting of Roman
Catholics, Protestants, Jewish, Islamic and New Age. When Larry asked the
question, 'Where was God during the Sept 11th attacks?', everybody
answered the question from their perspective of WHO GOD WAS. To the
New Age guest, "god" was one thing. To the Islamic guest, "god" was
Allah -- the moon god. To the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish 
panelists, "God" meant something else.

     Ever since I was a little boy growing up in the USA, the term
"God" ALWAYS meant (to ME) and was SYNONYMOUS with the "God of
Israel". God meaning the "God of Israel" was ALWAYS understood (in MY
world). However, today in the USA that is not the case.

    The God of Israel is speaking through His only two witnesses on 
the earth (the house of Judah --- Orthodox Jew who believe that the 
land that the God of Israel gave to Abraham is ETERNAL and the house 
of Israel --- non-Jews who ALSO believe that the land that the God of 
Israel gave to Abraham is ETERNAL) that He is not just any "god" but 
He is the God of ISRAEL and the God of the HEBREWS. Through all of 
this, what is the reaction of Pharaoh (the US government or the leaders who are 
promoting the United Nations or the New World Order) ??

KJV Exodus 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey
his voice to let Israel go? I KNOW NOT the LORD, neither will I let
Israel go.

      KNOWING that the God of Israel is the God of the HEBREWS was an 
ISSUE in the historical Egyptian redemption which means that since 
the FUTURE Messianic redemption / Ingathering of the Exiles is like 
the historical Egyptian redemption then proclaiming the NAME of the 
God of Israel to PHARAOH (the world's system) is an ISSUE in THESE 
DAYS.

    Therefore, I would like to ENCOURAGE EVERYONE on the HHMI 
newsgroup e-mail list to begin to QUIT saying JUST "God" but instead 
say of the following:

#1) The God of ISRAEL
#2) The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
#3) YHVH

     As a DECLARTION to PHAROAH (the world's system) which does not 
KNOW (acknowledge and put their trust in) the God of ISRAEL.

 A REMINDER OF THE NAME OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL TO HIS PEOPLE

      Not only was it an ISSUE that Pharoah would KNOW the God of 
Israel (you can't know someone unless you know their name) but the 
historical Egyptian redemption was also a time for the people of the 
God of Israel to being to realize His NAME.

KJV Exodus 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto
you: this is MY NAME for ever, and this is my memorial unto all
generations.

       Therefore, I would like to encourage ALL members of the HHMI 
newsgroup that when you are speaking with others about "God" that you 
don't just say "God" but you say the "God of Israel" or the "God of 
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" or use His Hebrew name of YHVH. Please 
consider doing this in your own personal conversations, your 
fellowship groups or in your ministry newsletters.

      What's in a name? When we are speaking about the God of Israel, 
it is EVERYTHING because He is El Shaddai! All other "gods" are 
sticks and stones and idols of man heart.
