In order to conclusively determine the makeup of the New Covenant body
of Yahshua called the Israel of Yahweh in Galatians 6:16, we have to
understand several crucial truths. We must understand that the twin
dispersions of both houses of Israel, Ephraim in the north and Judah
in the south was not only a punitive decision by Yahweh, but one of
faithfulness as well. In Genesis 13:14-16, Genesis 17:4 -5, Genesis
26: 4, Genesis 48:19, along with a host of other texts the patriarchs
were promised the physical blessing of physical multiplicity that
would see their physical sperm or zera fill the globe. Prior to the
northern kingdom's dispersion,beginning with Tiglath Pileser III in
745 BCE and culminating in Sargon II's final conquest of the northern
capital of Samaria in 721BCE,    scripture teaches that many from
Judah in the south migrated northward and many from Ephraim in the
north, in order to escape capture migrated to the South. Therefore
both houses of Israel most likely contained representative samplings
of all twelve tribes but not the full numbers within the twelve tribes
themselves. When the northern kingdom went into diaspora due to
paganism, idolatry and Torah breaking, they followed a northwest route
taking them to parts of Assyria. Later according to history these
Assyrian towns became part of the Scythian peoples who eventually
settled in Europe and the west. Since these ten tribes had no interest
in protecting their Israelite identity they tossed it to the wind and
literally became Gentiles. First Kings 12:24 reminds us that this 721
BCE Israelite holocaust, was the divinely mandated plan of Yahweh for
the intermingling of Israelite blood throughout the globe. Yahweh
decided to accomplish this plan to fulfill covenant faithfulness to
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by allowing first the northern kingdom and
later the southern kingdom to both experience diaspora and global
scattering. Since there was this dramatic crossover and migration
prior to 721BCE by the time both houses would be scattered globally
each house contained a representation of all twelve tribes. This is
not to say however that all within those twelve tribes can be found in
either the Judahite people or in the Ephraimite people. What can be
said is that when Judah was dispersed first in 520BCE and later in 70
CE they were far more careful to preserve their culture, customs and
their beloved Torah to which they remained generally faithful.
Therefore no matter where either house went globally they would carry
Israelite blood and seed to all creation and almost every creature. It
had to be this way since the patriarchal promises of physical
multiplicity were promised to be fulfilled through the Ephraim side of
the family in Genesis 48:19, not through Judah. Judah rather was given
the privilege, preeminence and honor of being the vehicle through
which Shiloh the Messiah would be made manifest.

Thus according to Matthew 10:23 as prophesied by Yahshua every city on
the globe would become a city of Israel, since many if not most of its
inhabitants would be made up of large populations of those descended
from both houses. In this same verse Yahshua confirms this amazing
truth when He both prophecies and reminds His talmidim that they will
have so much area to cover in their mission that when the Son Of Man
returns, they will still be busy preaching the gospel. This area He
talks about must be global in scope since the twelve shilichim
(apostles), could have covered all of Judea in less than a couple of
years or a couple of decades at the most. Remember that Judea was
about the same size as Rhode Island and that Bethlehem was and still
is only five miles south of Jerusalem. Yet Yahshua prepares them for a
major task that will be so global in character that they will not have
the opportunity to finish this kingdom business when He returns. "Ye
shall not have gone over the cities of Israel before the Son Of Man be
come". In other words Paris, London, Hong Kong, Tehran, Beirut, Tokyo,
New York, Boston, Philadelphia etc., are all considered cities of
Israel by our Heavenly Father. When you combine this powerful truth
along with Matthew 15:24 where Yahshua Himself states that He only
came for the lost sheep of the House Of Israel, we have strong
evidence that the globe is "His Israel". Of course we balance this
scripture with others stating how the Son would save the whole world
that He came to die for. If He died for the whole world and if He only
came for lost sheep of Israel, simple logic will tell you that the
globe as it now stands today 2700 years after Ephraim's diaspora and
2000 years after Judah's last diaspora is made up largely of Israelite
blood. Notice that I did not say Jewish blood, since most of the
Jewish nation remained small and never really multiplied physically
due to holocausts, inquisitions, extermination attempts and genocide.
We must be careful not to continue to use confusing terminology.

Ephraim Israel on the other hand loved to assimilate and copy the ways
of the heathen so they were not as easily detected and could not be
identified for persecution and annihilation. They were more then happy
to integrate and assimilate into any society they happened to find
themselves in. It is through this carefree attitude towards Yahweh and
His Torah that actually aided Yahweh in fulfilling the promise of
Genesis 48:19. This yielding up of their Israelite heritage allowed
Ephraimite blood to multiply and spread globally undetected, largely
escaping the persecution and tribulations that have historically been
associated with openly demonstrative Judah. O the depths and the
wisdom of the Almighty. How marvelous and unsearchable are His ways,
past finding out.

It is evident to most serious students of the Bible that Yahshua of
Nazareth being Israel's real Messiah has done exactly what He said he
would do and has been regathering all Israel, the chosen remnant of
both houses right under our noses, while we have been sleeping and
arguing about who has Jewish blood. Just like Adam woke up from a deep
sleep to find his bride Chava next to him, so will Jewish Israel soon
wake up to find their beloved long lost brother Joseph, who has been
heretofore unrecognizable right next to him! Ephraim Israel was
divinely sent ahead to provide gospel provision and spiritual manna
for the last two thousand years. In order for Yahshua to regather both
Jewish Israel and Ephraim Israel, He had to allow Judah to maintain
identity lest they be consumed and Messiah's birth prevented and at
the same time literally turn the descendents of Jeroboam the
Ephraimite into pagan Gentiles. That is correct. The lost sheep of the
house of Ephraim became pagan Gentiles. That is why over and over
again in the Brit Chadashah the epistles refer to Gentiles getting
saved. Gentiles being born again. Gentiles being washed in the blood.
Gentiles, Gentiles, Gentiles! I am so tired of answering the same
question over and over again -- "If the ten tribes became Gentiles,
why doesn't the Brit Chadasha say that the body of Yahshua is made up
of Judahites and Ephraimites instead of Jews and Gentiles?" I'll tell
you why! It is because the authors of the New Covenant took it for
granted that those who follow Israelite history and have done their
homework, would be well aware of the historicity behind the ten tribes
and their subsequent assimilation that has led to their becoming
Gentiles. These New Covenant authors simply took it for granted that
you would know who most Gentiles were formerly. The burden of studious
verification is on you not anyone else!

In the last issue we gave ample evidence that this truth is not only
hinted at, but strongly addressed in Brit Chadasha. In James 1:1 and
Acts 15:14-19, and many other scriptures which clearly talk about
Yahweh not wanting to hang out or take up residence with the heathen
nations, but states that He is visiting them to pull off a massive
rescue and return to Himself, of the people belonging to and already
called by His Name (Acts 15:14).Yaakov states that all the prophets of
Israel agree that the primary purpose of the New Covenant and Israel's
Messiah is to redeem and return all the seed of Israel from both
houses back into the Tabernacle Of David which had fallen. Obviously
it fell due to division. Verse 16 of Acts 15 teaches us that Yahweh is
not doing something new by building a manmade church headquartered in
Rome nor is He building a church where Gentiles will outnumber,
surpass and suppress Jewish expression, rather that He is returning
Davidic 12 tribe glory to Israel. He is rebuilding not building. In
order to rebuild you must of necessity use the same inhabitants of
David's Tabernacle (all twelve tribes) to rebuild it, in order for it
to resemble it's former makeup and appearance. Verse 20 of Acts 15
states that those who are making up the rebuilt Tabernacle are those
returning to Yahweh. The Greek word in verse 20 is returning and these
Ephraimites are returning because their Israelite Ephraimite ancestors
left and forsook the Father of glory. Can it be any simpler? Once we
can determine conclusively from scripture that multitudes of those
coming into the body of Yahshua are bloodline descendents of the
northern kingdom, then we will be forced to readjust our thinking in
the Messianic movement. Just because we cannot recognize the house of
Joseph as being from our own family and amongst us, doesn't mean they
are not. Joseph dressed like an Egyptian was married to a pagan
priestess with a pagan name having pagan children which were
unrecognizable to his brethren. The situation has not changed one
iota. No matter how much denial proceeds from the camp of Judah the
fact remains unchanged that those we call saved Gentiles or non Jews
are in many cases our brother Yosef who fathered Ephraim the pagan in
Egypt, as well as the masses of returning Ephraimite pagans resulting
from the first Israelite holocaust in 721 BCE. It was this dual
dispersion of both houses that has both fulfilled the promise of
physical multiplicity and magnified Yahshua's greatness as the only
one who can find and locate both houses, both containing
representation of all 12 tribes, both needing restoration to Yahweh
and to the land.

Isaiah 49:6 is an amazing piece of Messianic scripture. In verse five
it states that one of the reasons that the Father birthed Yahshua is
to bring Jacob back. Not Jews only, but Jacob. Verse six of Isaiah 49
is even more profound. It prophecies that Messiah will raise up the
tribes of Israel. To raise up means to make reappear or to restore
back to recognizable life. He will bring life by restoring the
desolate parts. What part or parts of Israel that had experienced
Davidic glory had become the most desolate? That's right! Ephraim did!
Isaiah 11:12 confirms that while Judah was merely scattered it was
Ephraim Israel that became the desolate part or the outcasts of
Israel. Isaiah 11:10 claims that Messiah the Root of Jesse and Branch
of David will do this regathering of both dispersed (Jewish) Israel as
well as outcast (Ephraim) Israel. Yahshua can differentiate between
the two houses that were exiled in two different direction some 200
years apart, why can't we? If Yahshua is not gathering both houses
from both diasporas then He is a false Messiah! Of course we know He
is the Messiah therefore He is regathering both houses.

In verse 6 of Isaiah 49 Ephraim is called the desolation of Israel.
The beginning of these potent verses reminds us that Almighty Yahweh
is so omnipotent that what we consider an impossible task is such a
light and small matter in the scope eternity for the omniscient and
omnipotent Messiah, that the Father has also given Him the true non
Israelite Gentiles with no Israelite blood as His possession just so
He doesn't get bored with His task!

Messianic Judaism needs to make the break with the fears of the past
and recognize the dawn of a new day where in Yahshua, Joseph our
brother is sitting and dwelling with us and next to us. It is this
recognition of our hidden brethren that will bring about not only the
salvation of all Israel but an overnight mushrooming of this still
small movement. This next step of growth can only come by accepting as
authentic the claims of those who claim Israelite heritage, and are
frankly willing to admit that they are not Jews, whose sole desire is
to share in the destiny of Jewish Israel along with the good the bad
and the oftentimes ugly aspects of being an Israelite.

If Yahshua is radiating His gospel all across the globe and bringing
in all humanity in these last days global harvest from among the
nations, then somewhere in that vast net there are hundreds of
thousands even untold millions of descendents of Joseph and Ephraim
who unknown to even themselves are returning to their Judahite
brothers. You cannot have a final last days global Tikun Ha Olam
without somewhere in that huge global harvest finding and coming
across large amounts of the lost sheep of the northern house of
Israel. That would be a logical, historical, cultural and mathematical
impossibility! Remember that as believers it is up to us to line up
our doctrine with Yahshua's not His with ours or our organization's
doctrinal statement of faith, whatever form that may take. If we can
all agree that amongst the nations of the world there is to be found
that scattered "zera" of both Jewish Israel and Ephraim Israel, then
we now have that common ground and common vision that beats
simultaneous to that of the Heavenly Father's heartbeat for all
Israel. Just because we in our finite mortality cannot identify these
non Jewish Israelites, does not mean that they disappeared off the
face of the earth and does not mean that they are not showing up
weekly in our midst and in our congregations and in our synagogues
whether we like it or not. Shaking our collective heads in doctrinal
disagreement with Your Arms To Israel will not make them go away. In
Jeremiah 31:9&10, the Father cries out to all with ears to hear that
Ephraim is HIS SON AND FIRSTBORN and will gather him again! It is
Yahshua who is restoring the Kingdom to Israel one soul at a time and
eventually in large masses. This massive Ephraimite assembling process
results in the formation of the general assembly and congregation of
"the first born", mentioned by Rav Shaul himself in Hebrews 12:23. He
recognized that many in New Covenant Israel were of the lineage of
Ephraim, the first born and therefore a congregation of firstborns.
Notice the present tense backdrop for this scripture! This process is
ongoing in the here and now even as it was already underway in Rav
Shaul's day. This task could not and cannot be undertaken by any
movement of man no matter how well intentioned such as Jewish or even
Christian Zionism. It is a job that only omnipotent Moshiach can and
has been performing!

That is what I believe the so called rapture is all about. Let's be
honest here. How many born again non-Jewish believers do you see
lining up at the Israeli consulate waiting in line for visas to make
aliyah to Israel? Not even most Jewish Israelites do that. So how can
the Father bring to pass all those promises that no Israelites will be
left behind in any of the nations where He has scattered both houses.
Ezekiel 39:28 talking about not a single Israelite living anywhere
outside Israel during the millennium. Think about that promise! If one
Israelite remains anywhere outside Israel then Yahweh lied. He said
not one would be left behind. To me and my small way of thinking that
can only happen by virtue of the "catching away", where millions of
Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Nazarenes and other regathered
born again folk, are supernaturally caught up and airlifted to Israel
on His Almighty wings to, be returned to their land forever more. Why
would these folks plan aliyah since their Israelite identity is lost
to themselves as well. Most have no desire to return. Yes, I believe
in the rapture of all Israel, but not in the rapture of something
called the church as it is commonly taught. In that version or should
I say perversion, the Jews get zonked and the "so called " saved
Gentiles" get a seven year heavenly cruise vacation. That perversion
of the rapture is pure poppycock and for those waiting for that kind
of rapture bus to show up pre tribulationally, you will not only be
sorely disappointed and misled, but I urge you to bring your jacket
and sleeping bag. It is guaranteed to be a long wait for a
pre-tribulation rapture bus that will never show up! It just won't
happen the way many of our readers want it to. That falsehood would
further separate New Covenant Israel instead of rebuilding it, since
the main thrust of that teaching is to have the Roman Church and her
daughter hookers fly away unscathed while the "Jewish Christ killers"
get zonked. The church and her Roman Pontiff fly to heaven while
Jewish Israel is left behind. However if Yahshua's New Covenant bride
is born again Israel, then Jews escape as well! I see from scripture
that there will be a bona fide snatching away, of redeemed blood
washed New Covenant Israelites made up of Jews, Ephraimites and
Gentiles as well, all returning to the mountains of our beloved
homeland. The correct view of the rapture is to remove all of New
Covenant Israel away from Yahweh's wrath only to later return in mass
to Israel without remaining in heaven, though as glorified beings we
will have free access to the heavens as and whenever we desire. Verse
25 of Ezekiel 39 tells us that the whole house of Israel meaning the
entire captivity of Jacob will return. When Yahweh uses the term Jacob
it talks about both houses coming home along with their Gentile
companions.

It amazes me in my conversation with Messianic Jewish believers and
leaders, how concerned they are that our two house truth doesn't
forget to make an allowance for true Gentiles to be included in New
Covenant Messianic Israel. Am I crazy or what? Hasn't it been the
Gentiles that have been included in Messianism for two thousand years?
Hasn't it been remnant Judah or the Jewish believers that have been
experiencing revival since 1967, which has in turn allowed them an
expression in and as New Covenant Israelites? Haven't they experienced
their newfound inclusion since 1967? It seems there is little or no
concern out there for non Jewish Israelites who are our flesh and bone
brothers and the part they play and will yet play in the end times!
Not once when sharing the truth about the two houses has anyone come
and told me that the reason for their rejecting the teaching was the
lack of room in it for the other house of Israel. Never once has
anyone expressed the concern over the fact that much of Messianism
claims the body is made up of only Jews and true Gentiles ONLY! We
must readjust our attitudes by reading scripture properly wherein The
Father states that all things on earth, in heaven and even under the
earth, are being gathered by Messiah Yahshua (Ephesians 1:10). This
verse reiterates that all things and peoples needing to be restored
and gathered (12 tribes) are being gathered by and through Messiah, in
the here and now. Except of course the folks who refuse to recognize
The House Of Joseph's literal physical seed (sperma in Greek), in the
current makeup of the body Of Messiah (Galatians 3:29). It is a spirit
of blindness and stupor upon much of Jewish Israel. It's amazing how
born again Jews can have a greater concern for true Gentiles, which
according to scripture remain in the global minority, then for those
who claim, desire and are destined to be Judah's physical brother
Joseph. Where are our priorities as Jewish Israelites? Are we not
called to lay aside the murderous vexing, spirit of Cain and
acknowledge and insist upon fulfilling our role as our brother's
keeper. Is not that the spirit of meekness and contriteness that
Yahweh would be pleased with? That role can only begin to be assumed
by Judah when he is willing to partake and engage in proper
hermeneutics and exegesis. He must remind himself that according to
Second Kings 17:23, written in about 538 BCE, about 200 years after
Ephraim's diaspora the northern people of Israel went to Assyria and
most never returned to Judah in the south and according to Second
Kings 17:23, ARE STILL THERE IN ASSYRIAN TERRITORIES! Further proof
that Jewish Israel today may represent all 12 tribes but not include
their huge and vast numbers, is found in Zechariah 11:14, where the
minor prophet is told to take his stick called Union symbolizing the
union of the two houses and break it in half thus symbolizing the
ongoing broken brotherhood between both houses even some 200 years
after the northern diaspora in 520 BCE. If the Jews returning from
Babylon at about the same time included the fullness of all 12 tribes
of Israel, why then would Yahweh through Zachariah remind both houses
that the brotherhood experienced under David's reign remained broken?
If all Israel CAME TOGETHER after returning from Babylon as some say,
then Yahweh should have told Zachariah to scotch tape or crazy glue
his stick called Union. Obviously that didn't happen and those who say
it did are the main proponents of the "Ephraim fell off the face of
the earth theory", or was swallowed up by Judah theory! The truth is
they were swallowed up. Not by Jewish Israel but by the plethora of
the world's goyim (nations) We who know better must not fall into that
false explanation!

Just because replacement theology has attempted to destroy any vibrant
Jewish witness in the body, does not mean that these past wrongs
should dictate our attitude to the real existence of Ephraimites in
the local as well as the universal body. When are we going to grow up
spiritually and not react to people but react to the revelation of
scripture? Let's make deal! I will begin to be more concerned for true
Gentiles and their place in the Messianic body, if you who deny
Yahweh's illustrative word to Zechariah, take off your blinders and
make room for your brother Ephraim in your theology and begin to
become his keeper by searching for him along with your Master! Do we
have a deal?

Let me remind you according to unsaved sabra born Yair Davidy of Brit
Am ministries in Jerusalem, most of histories greatest atrocities
against the Jewish people were committed by true blood Gentiles, not
by those claiming a blood or spiritual link to the Jewish nation.
Those who tended to see the Jewish nation as a blessing while they
lived amongst the nations, was one of several outstanding character
traits of lost Ephraimites according to Mr. Davidy's extensive
research. Mr. Davidy has no Messianic agenda and is a world renown
scholar on the 12 tribes of Israel. He is a leading voice in the
continuing existence of two still divided houses of Israel, with
neither being better or replacing the other, merely discovering each
other's unique chosenness (Jeremiah 33:24 speaks of two chosen
families of Israel) and enjoying Israelite brotherhood. Ordering
information on his book "The Tribes" can be found at the end of this
teaching.

Let us determine that as Yahshua's blood pulls in the nations, that
within that call will be our long lost brother. Let us now establish
from scripture that the ten tribes did in fact become Gentiles, losing
their identity but not their bloodline. What one does or does not
believe does not change bloodline. Bloodline has nothing to do with
one's' religious practice or absence thereof.

The prophet Hosea was sent exclusively to the north just prior to his
Assyrian captivity. In Hosea chapter one verses 1-9, Hosea tells
Ephraim Israel or the House of Israel that his reign is coming to an
end and that he will not be Yahweh's people and will have no
compassion from Yahweh. He will no longer be their Elohim. Yet
miraculously in verse 10 of Hosea one, the same people show up again
or are born again, this time not as a corporate nation but as
individuals who have become returning children of Yahweh. Verse ten
calls these former northerners more numerable then the sands of the
sea. It states that "the number of the children of Israel", shall be
as the sand of the sea. That means that it is Ephraim Israel that is
destined to produce the millions or even billions of spirit filled
children of Yahweh for Yahweh, promised to the patriarchs. This truth
is confirmed in verse 11 as we see Jew and Ephraimite both getting
saved through the same King. Hosea 2:22-23 confirms this great truth.
Remember their believing and coming to faith in Messiah and tragically
perhaps even going to a Catholic church, still does not change their
bloodline. That remains the same. Hosea chapter 2 verse 11 prophecies
that after the northern house of Israel is dispersed by Assyria he
will totally lose his identity because Yahweh will cause him to forget
Shabbat, the moedim (Feasts) and Rosh Chodesh (new moons). He will
remove those visible signs of Israelism from him in order to
facilitate his assimilation amongst true Genbtiles. In their
assimilated status as Gentiles, they will refer to Yahweh as Baal,
which means lord in English! We find this truth in Hosea 2:16&17. Yet
when they return to Yahweh through Messiah they will leave behind the
names of paganized Gentile Christendom and begin to know and call
Yahweh "Ishi", meaning my husband. This prophecy coincides with Hosea
1:10. In Hosea 4:17 Yahweh tells Judah to leave Ephraim alone since he
is joined to idolatry. Hosea 5:9 talks about Ephraim's heritage
becoming desolate! The very desolate heritage Yahshua is said to
revive in Isaiah 49:5-6. According to Hosea 5:15-17 Yahshua would
return to heaven but after two days or two thousand years Ephraim
would be raised up to live both physically and spiritually in His
sight. In context we see that the ten tribes of the former house of
Israel will see national revival and restoration after two days or two
thousand years after Messiah's first advent. The sign that Ephraim's
punishment is coming to an end is the blindness to his true identity
being removed. The sign that Judah's punishment is coming to an end is
his recognition of his blindness about the fact that Yahweh has a Son
who was manifest in the flesh for our forgiveness.
