The Gentile Awakening

Excerpts from Ephraim Covenant

It is very important that the emerging teachers and Rabbi’s such as yourself... understand the written covenant. It is true that G-D will fix this and that along the Journey of our covenant walk, However the problem the new gentile believers get into is that He will do it in our time as we command, Proclaim and pull off pagan types of festivals, all in the powerful Name of G-d, expecting some miracle to happen when we do. Not completely wrong, however it is in Him that we Move and Live and Have our Being.

Not in our unbiblical interpolations that we suggest YAH bow in reverence to. G-d does not bow down to High Alters of mans making. What are you saying?

What I am implying briefly for those of you that get things quick, is this. It is all about Him and with that said we need to understand that Yes He does wondrous things, but there are times and seasons along with true authority that give us the greatest victory.

For those who want the greater victories, Let us journey a little further. I suggest this, as we serve the G-d of the Hebrews and discover the extremely important covenant the gentiles are in-grafted into, we need to take a little deeper view and respect of the scriptures for it would seem inerrant teachers over the centuries have perverted the truth.

Some intentionally have made it to no effect and with that the real truth has sorely been glazed over who looses those who do not study for them selves instead follow the fallibility of a single man. For no greater reason than a denominational title. Paul’s words to Timothy always ring in my ears “Study to shew thyself approved”. For what reason ? “Thyself approved unto G-D” Twice in the scriptures the Messiah went to the Gentile court and overturned the tables of Harlotry stating, "This is a house of prayer" But you have turned it into a den of thieves.

It would seam one of the testimonies is written at the beginning of the walk and the other toward the final days of YAHSHUA’s journey. This may not meet every theologian’s perspective however knowing we just do not seem to get it may be the reason of the two testimonies indicating separate occurrences. .

We Need Holiness and Integrity back into the teaching for the believers.

Re-Member the blessing you are enjoying, goes back to Genesis 48 when Jacob, "Wittingly" crossed his hands over and pronounced the Blessing onto Joseph's son Ephraim.

Genesis 41:50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, Which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On' bare unto him.

v51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For YHVH," said He, "Hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house".

v52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: "For YHVH Hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction." Jacob and all his offspring move to the land of Goshen in Egypt with Joseph, and Jacob (Israel) is near death and Joseph brings his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim unto Jacob.

Genesis 48V3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, "YHVH ALMIGHTY appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, V4 ...And said unto me, 'Behold, I will make THEE fruitful, and multiply THEE, And I will make of THEE a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after THEE for an everlasting possession.' The Birthright Blessing Goes to Joseph's Sons ... Jacob (Israel) is preparing to carry over the Birthright blessing, which G-d gave him at 'Luz.' Notice the phrase 'everlasting possession'? This means even unto the eternity. There is nothing here about divine rule, as that belongs to the tribe of Judah. Genesis 48:5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto THEE in the land of Egypt Before I came unto THEE into Egypt, are mine; as Rueben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, And shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. In these verses, Jacob is bringing the sons of Joseph born to him in Egypt, into the National Name Israel. Manasseh and Ephraim are to be figured among the twelve tribes of Israel. Since Israel is the Covenant Birthright Name, this same name is delivered over from Jacob (also named 'Israel' by YHVH), to Manasseh and Ephraim.

G-d is giving us many hints at the conditions of 'names' dealing with heritage with this idea of Joseph carrying over the Name Israel. Genesis 48:13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him....14... And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. Now Israel (Jacob) had bad eyesight, but his right hand, which is for the elder firstborn blessing, was on Ephraim, the younger.

Then came the blessing Promise from YHVH given through Abraham and Isaac and Israel:

Gen 48V15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, "YHVH, before Whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the YHVH Which fed me all my life long unto this day, V16 The Angel Which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." With this pronounced blessing, The covenant name of Y'israel is transferred to Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, With Ephraim the younger receiving the direct transfer of the 'Birthright Blessing, And will later also be called 'Israel,' being the larger of all the other tribes.

In many places in the bible / Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) one will discover the names 'Ephraim, Joseph,' house of Israel, and 'Samaria. This word 'Samaria' was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, with the other tribes included. Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, made up the Southern Kingdom of Israel, referred to in Scripture as the "house of Judah", or 'Judah. Gen 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, "Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; Put thy right hand upon his head." v19 And his father refused, and said, "I know it, my son, I know it: He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: But truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations."

Joseph is trying to correct his father's placement of his hands in the blessing, for he surly knows the proper way. However, The Master had a greater plan ...Ephraim the younger Son would become 'a multitude of nations' which is where the IN-Grafted gentiles into the vine come in.

YAH'shua stated I am the vine you are the branches.... He is speaking to the Covenant people. Now think for a moment. If Ephraim was to become 'a multitude of nations... Which definitely means more than the State of Israel today, then which nations are they? Likewise, if Manasseh was to become 'a great people' and nation, Then they must also be excluded from today's land of Israel in the middleast.

This word 'nations' in v.19 is 'gowy' in the Hebrew meaning 'a foreign nation; hence, a Gentile'... Ah-ha their we are...(Strong's no.1471). A good question here might be, 'How can a people be figured as Gentiles and be called 'Israel' at the same time?" Well, we do not have a good trace on the lineage of Joseph's wife Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of the Egyptian city of On.

Therefore, Ephraim and Manasseh are half Israelite (Joseph) and half Gentile (Egyptian). They are 'adopted' sons so to speak. So it was, and is, YHVH's Plan, to scatter His People among the Gentiles, so they who believe on Yahshua as the covenant Messiah or as the world calls Him (Jesus THE Christ) might become also, the adopted 'sons of Yahweh, meshed in "one", of both Israelite and Gentile (Yochanan John 1/ Romans.8-9).

Re-Member back to Adonai's original Covenant Blessing to Avrahm, that 'in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed"(Gen.12: 3); And to Jacob "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." Gen.28: 14. This obviously is much bigger than the land of Yisrael.

If YHVH's Word and Covenant Promise to Abraham are true, and we know it is, then many other Nations are involved. In addition, as we have seen with the 'Birthright' blessings to Joseph's sons, the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh are no longer just found in the Israel state but scattered abroad.

This is just the beginning of YAH's Covenant Promise to Avrahm, that of the "Birthright" including Blessing of wealth, resources, health etc. It is the full moon and seven days leading up to Pesach. Probably the most significant observance related to Pesach involves the removal of chametz (leaven) from our homes, if you are Hebrew.

(However this was dealt with for the gentiles/ believers of "the Way" at the discourse in Antioch" in the Church Fathers eyes~~However Covenant Walk requires Obedience to ALL HIS Way's )

Theirfore;... This Feast Pesach commemorates the fact that the Jews leaving Egypt were in a hurry, and did not have time to let their bread rise.

For the gentiles it is also a symbolic way of removing the "puffiness" (arrogance, pride) from our souls. The Master is calling us up higher at this time and is saying no more foolishness... Times and seasons are still very important.

I will leave you with this.... The Spirit / Ruach breathes life and is consistent in directing you.

Therefore listen and you can hear the wind of His spirit directing you towards truth.

For Yahshua stated "My sheep know my voice and another they will not follow". Yochanan 10:

How can we know Adonai's character you may ask?

Here is the WAY, study Torah until it becomes Seamless within you'

"Study to show yourself approved" a good word given to Timothy, is as well a good word for you…

Friend; FIRST, Immerse yourself in the written word and allow the Spirit freedom to rightly divide the truth from the interpolation. Simply said, read the written word, study and pray that revealing truth permeate you through and through.

SECOND; Sit at the Masters feet year after year in adoration, all the while pressing into the High call for your life.. John /Yochanan referenced this in many writings mostly alluding to what I call the Abibibng Factor.

Learn and understand the Torah, His law, His Mitzvot/commandments.

The festivals and great celebrations.

As in Passover' /Pesach~It is written that this Festival should be observed forever,{ NOT the Pagan Easter} and even now, as the ONE we call Messiah is our Passover lamb sheered and slain once, for all humanity who acknowledge YAH'shua..as the One who restored the Torah Walk to Yerushalyim.

You can have everything you require given right into your hands "if" you obey and do not play.

Faithfulness and obedience is absolute, I cannot Stress that More for those who come to trust and adhere to His ways.

Personally I enjoyed learning some of the talmudic interpolations one way is to befriend a local Rabbi or Check out Aramaic/Hebrew apologetics groups and discern with your heart the real hidden depths of His well. You will be challenged, however You will not be disappointed. The Question ... Would you really like to serve Him? . If so purity of heart and all thoughts must be in line with the" mind of Christ" I am sensing you have a desire to teach ... KEY..."Accountability and the Abiding factor" The Priest (Paul) of YAHshua knew enough to teach us this "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of YAH, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk, is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, For he is a babe. But solid food is for the mature, who, because of practice (Applying the Truth) Have their senses trained to discern good and evil." Hebrews 5:12-14

I will hope you enjoy your journey FYI, Paul the Sagan Priest unto YAHshua made Tallits that is Prayer Shawls, not Tents in the sense we in English consider them. Perhaps you may find a study of those of value and find understanding to why they are tied" in the manner they are.

Perhaps some writings regarding the feasts of the Hebrew culture may help.

Every Covenant YAHweh (G-D) made with mankind was broken because of stiff-necked rebellion and departure from the teachings of Torah (First 5 books) the Rock of His word...from the Adamic, Noadic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Palestianian, Davidic...and now the Seventh Covenant in Him, leading to the final period in His rest. Most of us reading this know the word pretty good it would seem. How-ever in Aramaic and Hebrew some of the things we jump and shout about need this question "What does that Mean".

Let us take for instance the familiar passage of Matthew :16v18 “You are Peter; and upon this rock (Torah) I will build my church, and the gates of hell (Hades/Sheol)) shall not prevail (War) against it. In the ancient Hebrew language you find different variations for much of the transliteration giving you a greater depth to all scripture the resulting in a greater depth of explanation. The whole basis of the Hebrew bible according to YAHweh is that it be written upon their heart and passed from generation to generation.

The first five books of the bible known as the Tanakh / or TORAH so what was YAHshua saying in the familiar scripture of truth, lets take a look. “ On the Torah I will build My covenant (message) and the gates of Sheol (or death). Will not contend with it. If you are going to take a language course and want to be a witness for His truth, I suggest that you take one in Hebrew and Syriac Aramaic. That way you can read and write the real unaltered truth as it was written to the people of YAH' from generation to generation and escape the gentile court of “well Meaning” mistruths.

Everybody points you to the Greek interpolations I on the other hand want the truth of YAH Greek is a good translation, however contrary to popular opinion that is not it...anything brought forth from the Seven hills of Rome where the Vatican is located I am leery of. So can you tell me any good thing that has come out of Rome other than control, Inquisitions, murderer & lies, lies and more...of the same that continues today.

This is not an attack on the people of Roman heritage it is however an attack of one thousand and seven hundred years of deception of unscrupulous men domineering and attempting control of the precious people of The Creator.

Much more of the reasons why can be read in my expose “Treading out the Quagmire” this will take you deeper and give more references from studious people far more aware than in my digging has gone.

Why because the translators did not always do a good job and after a while, your research will have you hungering and thirsting after truth ... dig deeper.

Why question???

Doesn’t all those we follow know the truth Answer yes and No. Why because it will not take you long to find out the revered KJV bible which is still the best in the English... is not perfect the Lamsa bible is an Aramaic translation along the lines of KJV based on the Church of the East having been around as long as if not longer than the Harlot of Roman infallibility.

Forget NIV completely. With that one, you have Omission. Omission.... ETC. over 500 passages changed or not even in the book. off the top of my head in KJV book of acts Phillip is speaking to the Eunech regarding Isaiah 52 and leading him into understanding of YAHshua as Sacrificial Lamb and the New or Renewed Covenant. in V36 the Etithiopian states "Here is water (All people were baptised in water immersion) what keeps me from being baptised into this new Covenant" v37 KJV Phillip...IF tho Beliveth with ALL thine heart,... thou mayest( so much for gotta do it this or that way) in the NIV that is ommited matter of fact the ones omited in most translations are the ones pointing to Him as Messiah or like in this case if tho believeth in Him ....hmmmmmmmm wonder why Back to you main question the Adamic, Noadic, Abrahamic,Mosaic, Palestianian, Davidic...and now the Seventh Covenant in Him, in His rest. Your wise man study this out and come back and teach me....each one of these are periods of time from Adam or the first human and eve =Chavah =mother of all living/ that is living...Noah the Flood rainbow etc.

Avrahm ( was given a directive too "Come out of He"~~ come out of what?? Idolatry And trust me Idolatry goes past the Graven Image it sometimes penetrates the very heart)

Abrahams Daddy Terah' was a maker of carved pagan idols this is the beginning of the patriarch families.

Moses is the Deliverer from Egypt and the Covenant of Passover finishing with the Messiah being the first born Son from the dead of many son's that includes you IF you walk the walk Messiah walked (Keep that in mind always)

...Palestine is the Covenant of the Land promised to there forfathers Avrahm Issiac and Jacob/ Yaakov that Joshua and caleb go into and battle with Jericho (The Seven priests marching around jericho blowing the seven Shofars)

Davidic is King davids ruld and the Septre which is in the hand of Judah and will never be forsaken Genisis 48/49( Read Jacob giving the priestly blessing to Ephraim {I have a small writing on it if you wish it}... And now we are in the Fifteeth jubilee... the sixth watch...just coming into the seventh and the Messiah did what YAH stated he would do Tabernacle among us and did in the phyisical body of YAHshua (jesus) Sorry i took so long,...do not type fast...but i feel you are in hunger for truth Daniel,.. Bible college will not do it,.. only confuse the matter "Unless the master build the house they that build it labor in vain Ps 127:1

You Must sit at the feet of the Master and allow Him to mold and shape you into His image within you .Period Ezekiel was told to devour the scroll that means to read read read read read read read read Pray pray pray fast fast fast ETC and you will become a living epistle for Him and daniel there is NOTHING in this world more precious in His eyes than you in faithfullness and obedience.

 

another work in progress Excerpt "From Deep Well" Yahshua, clearly stated, and today continues to state "I Am", the way, the Truth and the Life, Forever more. Moreover, and rightfully, He can, and should, He is the Lamb sheared and slain for the world, The only one worthy to loose the seven seals.

There is no time or space in Messiah; He is the beginning and the end of all things, For did He not say,Propheticly " I was with Moses, and I was the One standing before Abram". Even with the most astute of us who continually search for a formula or method to greatness in YHVH, He simply stated "I Am the Door".

He could well have said; I Am' the gateway into the vast resources of Heaven. Yahshua told of the many Mansions in His Father's house Moreover, every room in a mansion is filled with treasures of great value, promise and sentiment, all acquired by love.

Therefore, would you agree the greater gifts are in the vastness of the deep well of His love? Together, lets look in the well.
