There is an old children’s tale about a little red hen who found some wheat. She decided to plant it, so she could harvest enough to bake bread. First she asked the other animals to help her plant the wheat, and then to help harvest the crop, thresh the grain, grind it into flour, and […]
In Nazarene Israel we saw that there are two houses in Israel, Ephraim and Judah. In overly-simple terms, the house of Ephraim generally refers to the Christians, while the house of Judah generally refers to the Jews. (For more details, see Nazarene Israel.) In Nazarene Israel we also saw how Yahweh gave Israel His Torah. […]
When Yahweh called me to the Two-House movement (or Hebraic Roots) in 1999, I was led to understand that the reason we did not have a separated priesthood or a clergy is that we are all part of the royal priesthood that the Apostle Kepha (Peter) speaks of in 1 Peter 2:9. Kepha Aleph (1 […]
As we saw in Torah Government, Yeshua’s disciples are first called apostles after Yeshua sent them out on a mission in Matthew 10. Mattityahu (Matthew) 10:1-2 1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness […]
In Nazarene Israel we saw that after King Solomon’s reign the nation of Israel split into two parts. The northern ten tribes were called the house of Israel (or Ephraim), while the southern two tribes were called the house of Judah. Ezekiel said that because of Ephraim’s iniquity, he would go into captivity in Assyria […]
In earlier chapters we saw how Yeshua came to replace the corrupted rabbinical order with a renewed order of Melchizedek. We also saw how the Spirit sent Shaul and Bar Naba out to preach Yeshua to the returning Gentile Ephraimites. In Acts 15 it was ruled that once the Gentile Ephraimites agreed to abstain from […]
Long before the rabbinical order was created in Babylon, Israel was ruled not by rabbis, but by the most respected elders in each town. These were often the more successful and wealthy men, who also had the respect of the people, because they served as good spiritual examples to the community. Mishle (Proverbs) 31:23 23 […]
It is often said that the family is the basic building block of society. While this is true, let us remember what kind of society Yeshua wants us to build for Him. Scripture tells us that Yeshua serves as the head over every man, while the men serve as the heads over their houses. Qorintim […]
What is a woman’s role as a wife, and as a sister in the assembly and community? This is a subject that could fill volumes, but we will stay focused on the basics. Yahweh created the woman Havvah (Eve) as a helper corresponding to her man. B’reisheet (Genesis) 2:18 18 And Yahweh Elohim said, “It […]
So far, we have seen how the priesthood, the elders, the congregational servants, and husband-wife teams must all work together to grow Yeshua’s kingdom. But what is the role for the children? A child’s role in the assembly is simply to be trained up in the way he should go, so that when he is […]
Because human nature is evil, the strong conquer and oppress the weak. Yeshua tells us that it is not to be like that among us. Rather, the strong are to serve the weak, while the weak respect and support their shepherds out of love for Yeshua. Mattityahu (Matthew) 20:25-28 25 But Yeshua called them to […]
In Nazarene Israel we saw how the nation of Israel can be divided into two main prophetic groups, called the two houses of Israel. The southern house is called the house of Judah, while the northern house is called the house of Israel, or Ephraim. Originally the southern kingdom of Judah consisted of two (or […]
Shaul tells us that Yeshua will not return until first comes a great falling away, and a man of sin is revealed. Thessaloniquim Bet (2 Thessalonians) 2:3-4 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, […]
I get many good questions about how people can join Nazarene Israel, and how they can become Nazarenes. I also get good questions about how to find fellowship in the end times, when we know persecution is coming, and the new world order control grid is already here. Because so many people have these good […]
