FOR THE LOVE OF ZION

Dear Mishpochah (family):

In the late 1970's, Hal Lindsey wrote a book, "The Late Great Planet Earth". This book sold MILLIONS of copies.

This book was the beginning of the evangelical Christian interest in Bible prophecy in the modern Era.

Mostly all of us who have been associated with evangelical Christianity are quite familiar with the evangelical teaching of the end of days.

However is the evangelical Christian view the SAME as the Hebraic view?

Evangelical Christianity does NOT teach the body of Messiah that we need to express our faith in Yeshua / Jesus as Messiah by following Torah.

Evangelical Christianity does NOT teach that the two houses of Israel will be restored and regathered during the tribulation prior to the second coming of the Messiah.

Evangelical Christianity does NOT regard that a MAJOR sign of the end of days and the coming of the Messiah is an end-time battle between Jacob and Esaw.

While evangelical Christianity does NOT teach these things regarding the end of days, the prophets of Israel (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah etc) DO.

You probably already know the evangelical view of the end of days but do you know the HEBRAIC VIEW?

The HEBRAIC VIEW of the end of days is the cry of ZION.

WHAT IS ZION?

In the past week, I had an e-mail conversation with a "Zion" ministry. However, this ministry does NOT teach about the two houses of Israel. The person told that this is too "hot" of a topic for the ministry for them to deal with.

I wrote back to this person and asked them, "How can you call yourself a ZION ministry when you DON'T know what ZION is?"

Do you realize that evangelical Christianity does NOT know what ZION is also?

So what is BIBLICAL ZION?

Biblical Zion is:

#1) The people of YHVH repenting of their sins. Believe that Yeshua / Jesus is the Messiah and follow His Torah

#2) The restoration and regathering of both houses of Israel

#3) The coming of King Messiah and the Messianic Era

Basically, Biblical Zion is all about the 2nd coming of the Messiah and the Messianic Era.

YET ... evangelical Christianity doesn't believe they should follow Torah.

YET ... evangelical Christianity doesn't know about the importance and significance of the restoration and regathering of both houses of Israel

As a result, while He tarried, they ALL SLUMBERED AND SLEPT.

KJV Matthew 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and lept.

ZION is SLEEPING!

Why?

ZION doesn't know that they need to follow Torah.

ZION doesn't know that there will be a restoration and regathering of both houses of Israel back to the land of Israel.

So HOW does ZION get awakened out of her sleep?

BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION

KJV Joel 2:1 BLOW ye the TRUMPET in ZION, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

A SHOFAR is being blown in ZION at the dawn of the Messianic Era (day of YHVH).

Why? Those IN ZION are BLOWING a SHOFAR to wake up those who are slumbering.

The Bible calls those in ZION who are BLOWING the SHOFAR to awaken the people of YHVH out of their spiritual slumber WATCHMEN.

KJV Isaiah 52:8 Thy WATCHMEN shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again ZION.

KJV Jeremiah 31:6 For there shall be a day, that the WATCHMEN upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us GO up to ZION unto the LORD our God.

THE WATCHMEN SAY: LET US GO TO ZION

The watchmen say: "Let us go to Zion". How do they do it? With a shofar. While this can be expressed literally, spiritually it is a call to FOLLOW TORAH and PREPARE to return to the land of Israel and stand with Judah in the land.

OUT OF ZION GOES FORTH THE TORAH

The watchmen of Zion say: Follow Torah. For out of ZION shall go forth the Torah.

KJV Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of ZION shall go forth the TORAH, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

If you are NOT following Torah then you are NOT in Zion because out of ZION shall go forth the TORAH.

WATCHMEN UPON THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM

OUT OF ZION goes forth the TORAH from JERUSALEM

ZION = JERUSALEM
JERUSALEM = ZION

Out of Zion goes forth the Torah
The watchmen are upon the walls of Jerusalem.

KJV Isaiah 62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

KJV Isaiah 62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

ZION RETURNS TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL

KJV Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will BRING you to ZION:

KJV Jeremiah 3:18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

ZION = house of Judah and house of Israel walking together
ZION = house of Judah / house of Israel return to the land of Israel

KJV Psalm 102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

Build Zion = house of Judah and house of Israel walking together
Build Zion = Messiah appearing in His glory

KJV Psalm 147:2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

Build Zion = Build Jerusalem

Build Zion = Build Jerusalem = Gathers the outcasts of Israel

KJV Jeremiah 23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

KJV Ezekiel 34:13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

Build Zion = Build Jerusalem = Gather the outcasts of Israel = End of the exile of the house of Israel and the house of Judah

WHEN DOES ZION RETURN TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL?

Zion returns to the land of Israel during the end-time battle between Jacob and Esau. This is called the "controversy of Zion".

KJV Isaiah 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

There is a "controversy" in Zion when the land of Israel gets divided.

When the nations of the world (with the permission of the nation of Israel) divide the land of Israel, it results in JUDGMENT upon the land of ISRAEL AND THE WHOLE WORLD.

KJV Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

PARTING MY LAND = JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS

What is the form of this judgment? We call it the "war against terrorism".

BUILDING UP OF ZION = RETURN OF THE MESSIAH

The building up of Zion is associated with the return of the Messiah.

KJV Psalm 102:13 Thou shalt arise, and have MERCY upon ZION: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

KJV Psalm 102:16 When the LORD shall BUILD up ZION, he shall APPEAR in HIS GLORY.

ZION IS ASLEEP!

The sad truth is that ZION is ASLEEP! Zion needs to be awakened with a SHOFAR BLAST.

BLOW A SHOFAR IN ZION! DO YOU HEAR IT OR ARE YOU ASLEEP?

May YHVH continue to bless you in your studies.
