Study of Two House Restoration of Israel

The purpose of this study is to take you from Genesis to Revelation to show the future

restoration of the two houses of Israel into one United Kingdom under Messiah in the

Millennium The restitution of all things is a ma!or theme that permeates the s"riptures andwill #e studied in detail here The "hur"h world has done a wonderful !o# prea"hing

redemption #y the #lood of Messiah$ #ut a very poor !o# on one of the main reasons the

Messiah "ame %nd that is the restoration of a re&unified Israel #a"k into their land and under

one king$ Messiah The "hur"h also gets a failing grade for their understanding and handling

of the law 'Torah(

)hy is this important* +e"ause it involves you if you are a #eliever in Messiah, It is vital that

you understand who you are If you are a gentile and follow a -ewish Messiah$ you are likely

a des"endant of the House of Israel Most .hristians fall into this "ategory$ #ut few know it

They are$ in all pro#a#ility$ Israelites who have forgotten their true identity Think of the

impli"ations, Read on for the proof It is not an easy read and will re/uire some study onyour part$ #ut it is worthwhile %""ording to the %postle 0aul$ if youre saved$ you #e"ome an

Israelite #y engrafting into the natural 2live tree of Israel The renewed "ovenant '3ew

Testament( is made only with the House of Israel and the House of -udah 'see -er 41541 and

He# 656( It is not made with anyone else

7o you want to know where youll spend the ne8t 1$999 years* It might surprise you Read

what I present here and the s"riptures should open up to your understanding in a way that will

truly ama:e you ;oull a"tually #e a#le to understand things that made no sense to you

#efore$ and even #e a#le to relate some of the things o""urring today to the prophe"ies of old

2ne thing Id like to "lear up here and that is$ this is not a white suprema"y tea"hing nor the

maligned +ritish<Israelism 'although there is some truth to it($ neither is it repla"ement

theology The ="hur"h> does not repla"e Israel and I will prove it Israel "omes in all "olors

and is in all nations This all "omes straight out of the s"riptures

I suggest that you get your #i#le to follow along and read all the s"riptural referen"es I give to

verify the information I present It will #e diffi"ult to understand if you dont %s we go

se/uentially through the Torah and the 0rophets$ I will "omment on the verses that "learly

show the future whole house 'all 1? tri#es( restoration of Israel

Some things I say may offend some This is not my intention and I apologi:e in advan"e I amsimply trying to #e as honest and true to s"ripture as my understanding allows So please

dont #e offended if some of my #eliefs differ from yours S"ripture is of no private

interpretation and that "ertainly goes for me too

There will #e other side topi"s "overed as they arise$ whi"h are often misunderstood

+efore I get into the meat of this study$ let me state why I depi"t and use the names HWH y

and ocwhy instead of the more "ommon terms =@ord and -esus> HWH y is the Aathers name

in an"ient He#rew "hara"ters as He wrote it Himself in the ta#lets of stone at Mt Sinai

Ocwhy is our saviors name written in the same "hara"ters HWH y would #e pronoun"ed as

either ;ahweh or ;ahuah The saviors name is pronoun"ed ;ahushua$ ;ahusha or ;ahshua



HWH y said in B8o 451C

1C %nd HWH y said moreover unto Moses$ Thus shalt thou say unto the "hildren

of Israel$ HWH y Blohim of your fathers$ the Blohim of %#raham$ the Blohim

of Isaa"$ and the Blohim of -a"o#$ hath sent me unto you5 this is my name

for ever$ and this is my memorial unto all generations

%lso see Isa D?56E C151CE CD5CE -er1951FE 1F5?1E 4154CE 445?E C954DEC151 There are many other s"riptures that

indi"ate HWH y is !ealous for His holy name

)e are to love the name of HWH y 'Isa CF5F( )e are to "all upon this name for salvation

'%"ts ?5?1E -oel ?54?E Rom19514( How "an you "all upon His name if you dont know it*

The Messiahs name is ocwhy This literally means the Salvation of HWH y or HWH y saves

His Aathers name is in his name He said in -ohn C5D4 “I am come in my Father’s

name and ye receive me not! if another shall come in his own name him ye

will receive." His name is the same as that whi"h is transliterated -oshua in the =2ld

Testament> Sin"e there are no =-s> in He#rew$ repla"ing the =-> in -oshua with a =;>$ gives

a pretty "lose rendering of ocwhy s He#rew name 3ames are usually transliterated when

going from one language to another$ #ut this did not happen with our saviors name in most

#i#le versions of today The name =-esus> #ears a#solutely no resem#lan"e to ocwhy

-ust as #ad$ is the su#stituting of a title for the name HWH y 2ur Aather HWH y s name is

very important to Him ;ou will find the name HWH y mentioned almost $999 times in the

original He#rew$ whi"h the translators render as =@ord> @ook what He says in -er ?45?F&?5

?F How long shall this #e in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies* yea$they are prophets of the de"eit of their own heartE

? )hi"h think to "ause my people to for#et my name #y their dreams whi"h

they tell every man to his neigh#our$ as their fathers have for#otten my

name for Baal.

Baal$ Strongs 11F one of the meanings of this word is =@ord>

I think it is more honoring to our Blohim to use the name He revealed to us instead of a

su#stitute given #y man This is !ust my personal opinion and you are free to disagree and use

the su#stituted titles printed in most #i#le versions

However$ #oth the .hristian and -ew do violate the third "ommandment #y #ringing the name

of HWH y to naught or rendering it void The .hristian uses the titles =@ord> and =God>$

whereas the -ew "alls Him HaShem 'the name( or they write =GJd and @Jrd> 'Bven the

su#stitute titles =God and @ord> have #e"ome ineffa#le to them( However$ the -ews will

a""ept the Messiah !ust #efore his return and will "all upon the name of HWH y $ not HaShem$

@Jrd or GJd ocwhy tells us in Matt ?454$ =;e shall not see me hen"eforth$ till ye shall

say$ = Baruch Ha$ah Beshem HWH y > or =+lessed is he that "omes in the name of HWH y >

This tells us two things They will "all ocwhy =#lessed> as the one who "omes in HWH y s

name and they will a"tually utter the name of HWH y

There has always #een some "onfusion over the use of the name HWH y in the 2ld Testament

4



Many times$ it is o#vious that the one speaking$ or #eing spoken of$ is the pre&in"arnate

ocwhy and not HWH y $ the Aather There is an e8planation to this and will #e "overed at the

end of this study So$ !ust #ear with me on this until we get there

)hen I #egan to write this #ooklet$ there was very little information regarding the Two House

Restoration of Israel on the internet at that time I did run a"ross a we# site "alled =;our %rmsto Israel> and got some of the data I present from there However$ I "an no longer re"ommend

this site due to what I "onsider to #e re"ent radi"al "hanges in their #asi" #elief system

The manner I have "hosen to present this information is to start at the #eginning in Genesis

and pro"eed through the Torah showing the history of Israel$ how and why they were divided

and their dispersions 3e8t$ I take you through the prophets$ #eginning in Hosea and then

from Isaiah to Mala"hi and dis"uss all s"riptures that relate to the Two Houses of Israel )e

"over 3ew Testament referen"es that arise as we study the prophets$ and then we pro"eed on

through the 3ew Testament or Renewed .ovenant to the #ook of Revelation Its /uite a

!ourney$ so please #ear with me This is a study$ so to get the most out of it$ please take your

time$ follow me along and look up the s"riptures as I dont print them all out @et us now #egin5

Most of us are familiar with the story of -oseph$ who was sold into slavery #y his #rothers

)e see how HWH y was with him and he prospered and #e"ame great in the land of Bgypt

)e re"all the tearful reunion with his #rothers and later his father$ -a"o#$ who had thought

him to #e dead

HWH y had previously renamed -a"o#$ =Israel> and said a nation and a "ompany or

.ommonwealth of 3ations would "ome from his loins %nd the land that He had given to

%#raham and Isaa"$ He would give to him and his seed after him 'Gen 4C519&1?(

Israel '-a"o#( #e"ame si"k and knew his time was short$ so -oseph #rought his two sons$

Bphraim and Manasseh to #e #lessed #y him Israel strengthened himself on his #ed and

related how HWH y had appeared to him at @u: in the land of .anaan and the promises that

were made to him 'Gen D651&D(

Israel then pro"laimed that the two sons of -oseph were to #e his$ as his own sons were and

that any other sons he may have afterwards would #e his '-osephs( and re"eive their

inheritan"e through Bphraim and Manasseh 'Gen D65C&F(

Israel pronoun"ed a #lessing upon the two #oys$ reversing his hands upon their heads so as togive the traditional first#orn #lessing to Bphraim$ the younger of the two He "onferred his

name$ Israel $ upon the two lads and #lessed them )hen -oseph saw that Israels hands were

reversed$ he protested$ #ut Israel refused saying that Manasseh would #e great$ #ut Bphraim

would #e greater and #e"ome a =multitude of nations> 'Gen D651D&1(

The phrase =multitude of nations is the He#rew melo hagoyim, whi"h means fullness of

nations He#rew referen"e to any non&He#rew was goy or gentile$ so the phrase "ould #e

#etter translated =Aullness of Gentiles> See Strongs D4? and 1D1

;ou have heard this phrase #efore in Romans 115?C The "onte8t in Romans is a#out the

grafting into the tree of Israel '2live tree( of -ew and Gentile alike



Rom 115?C Aor I would not$ #rethren$ that ye should #e ignorant of this

mystery$ lest ye should #e wise in your own "on"eitsE that #lindness in part

is happened to Israel$ until the fulness of the %entiles #e "ome in

115?F %nd so all Israel shall #e saved5 as it is written$ There shall "ome out of

Sion the 7eliverer$ and shall turn away ungodliness from -a"o#5I will "ome #a"k to the mystery in verse ?C later on in this study

+a"k to Israels '-a"o#( #lessing upon Bphraim and Manasseh$ in Gen D51$ we are told that

the primary fulfillment of these promises were to #e in the latter days

)e are familiar with the story of Israel #e"oming numerous in the land of Goshen in Bgypt

and their eventual fall from 0haraohs gra"e and #e"oming slaves in the land Moses rose up

to #e"ome a mighty prophet of HWH y and led Israel out of "aptivity after D49 years in Bgypt

%lso re"all the story of the 0assover The "hildren of Israel pla"ed the #lood of an

un#lemished lam# upon the door posts of their dwellings andHWH y

passed through the landof Bgypt and smote the first #orn of man and #east$ #ut passed over the dwellings where he

saw the #lood The ne8t day$ on the first day of unleavened +read$ they left Bgypt

They were told the keeping of the Aeast of Unleavened +read would #e for a sign unto them

upon their hand and for a memorial #etween their eyes 'forehead( that HWH y s @%) may #e

in their mouth 'B8o 145( It was a feast to #e kept forever 'B8o 1?51D( %lso$ the laying up

of HWH y s Statutes and .ommandments are also a sign upon your hand and #etween your

eyes 'forehead( '7eut 11516(

The Sa##aths were also for a si#n #etween HWH y and Israel forever 'B8o 41514 &1( Some

of the Aeasts of HWH y were also regarded as Sa##aths The 7ay of %tonement is a Aeast to #e kept forever '@ev 1F541$ ?4541($ so is the Aeast of 0ente"ost '@ev ?45?1( and the Aeast of

Ta#erna"les '@ev ?45D1( In the Millennium$ every one that is left alive of the nations that

"ame against -erusalem will go up from year to year to worship the king$ HWH y of Hosts and

to keep the Aeast of Ta#erna"les 'e"h 1D51F(

Israel is to keep HWH y s Sa##aths '@ev ?F5?( HWH y said if Israel keeps His Statutes and

.ommandments$ He would make His "ovenant with them '@ev ?F5( +ut$ if not$ He would

punish them times more for their sins '@ev ?F516( and He would s"atter them among the

heathen '@ev ?F544E 7eut ?65FD( Then the land will en!oy her Sa##aths '@ev ?F54D&4C(

2f "ourse$ as we know$ Israel diso#eyedL#ut$ Im getting ahead of myself The a#ove wasfor us to understand why Israel was later s"attered

Remem#er also that HWH y had promised %#raham that his seed would #e as numerous as the

stars in the heavens 'Gen 1C5C( and that His "ovenant would #e with him and he would

#e"ome the father of many nations 'Gen 15D( %nd that this "ovenant would #e an

everlasting "ovenant to him and his seed after him %nd HWH y gave to him and his seed all

the land of .anaan for an everlasting possession and He would #e their Blohim 'Gen 15&6(

)hen HWH y #rought Israel out of Bgypt$ Moses de"lared that they were already as numerous

as the stars of heaven '7eut 1519(

19 HWH y your Blohim hath multiplied you$ and$ #ehold$ ye are this day as the

C



stars of heaven for multitude

%nd Moses adds5

11 'HWH y Blohim of your fathers ma&e you a thousand times so many more

as ye are$ and #less you$ as he hath promised you,(

The #i#le says that F99$999 men of Israel "rossed over the Red Sea$ not "ounting women$

"hildren and a mi8ed multitude with them The -ewish Historian$ -osephus$ says these were

men fit for #attle$ whi"h would make them range from ?9 to C9 years of age Most historians

say there were a#out ?&4 million souls that "rossed over %pplying the 1999 times multiplier

of 7eut 1511 would make this num#er a#out '() $illion people )here are all these people*

That would #e a#out a third to almost half of the worlds population today .ertainly$ the 16

million or so -ews worldwide "annot a""ount for su"h num#ers

Remem#er$ in Gen 15?9$ Ishmael was also promised to #e"ome a #reat nation +y "ontrast$

HWH y s promise to Isaac was that he was to #e"ome many nations. -ames M"Kee pointsout in his #ook =)hen )ill Messiah Return> that today there are only a#out 16 million -ews

worldwide while there are hundreds of millions of des"endents of Ishmael Seemingly$ he

adds$ the one that was promised a great nation has more des"endents than the one promised

many nations )e know that HWH y "annot lie so there must #e #illions of Israelites

somewhere in the world today

)e know how Israel #e"ame a mighty nation under King 7avid +ut$ fri"tion #roke out

#etween the tri#e of -udah 'in"luding +en!amin and later$ the @evites( and the other 19 tri#es$

whi"h are usually referred to as Israel in s"ripture -udah is sometimes referred to as Israel$

#ut in most "ases it applies to the other 19 tri#es "olle"tively known as the House of Israel$ the

House of -oseph or Bphraim The House of -a"o# "an in"lude all of Israel

The argument was over -udah moving King 7avid from Gilgal to -erusalem 'II Sam 15D1&

D4( -udah "ontended that the King was -ewish and hen"e$ their relative The House of Israel

"ountered that they owned 19 parts of -a"o#s House$ whi"h was the greater share$ and they

should #e in "ontrol of kingly moves and de"isions 'II Sam 15D?&D4(

This was the #eginning of the split into two separate kingdoms 'II Sam ?951&?( However$ the

a"tual split didnt take pla"e until after the reign of Solomon$ King 7avids son In violation

of Torah$ Solomon put -ero#oam over the House of -oseph as for"ed la#orers 3o tri#e of

Israel was to #e enslaved #y anotherHWH y

was angry with Solomon and rent the kingdomfrom his hand and gave the 19 tri#es to -ero#oam 'I Kings 115?6$41( +ut for 7avids sake$

He removed the 19 tri#es after the death of Solomon 'I Kings 1154D&4C( +ut He gave one

tri#e '-udah( to Solomons son$ Reho#oam 'I Kings 1154F( So$ the 19 tri#es re#elled against

the House of 7avid 'I Kings 1?519E Isa ( 2nly the tri#es of -udah and +en!amin stayed with

Reho#oam 'I Kings 1?5?1(

-ero#oam$ king of the 3orthern Kingdom of Israel de"ided to ordain his own priests and did

so using some of the lowest in "hara"ter that were not even @evites -ero#oam "ast the @evites

off from e8e"uting the offi"e of priest 2ffended$ the @evites went to -erusalem and -udah 'II

.hron 11514&1D( This is how -udah "ame to in"lude the @evites also

-udah was angry over the split and wanted to go to war with Israel to reunite the kingdom into



one again under Reho#oam 'I Kings 1?5?1( +ut HWH y spoke to Shemaiah$ the man of

Blohim$ and told him to warn Reho#oam not to go up against Israel$ that this thing was from

Him 'I Kings 1?5??&?D(

Israel went into gross apostasy They de"ided to worship in their own way They made two

"alves of gold to #e their gods$ #uilt a house in a high pla"e and made priests out of !ust a#outany#ody they "hose -ero#oam ordained his own feasts and sa"rifi"ed unto the "alves on the

altar he #uilt and #urnt in"ense 'I Kings 1?5?6&44(

Things havent "hanged mu"h in the last ?99 years )e have done the same thing )e have

"reated our own feast days$ .hristmas and Baster$ and re!e"ted HWH y s Aeasts that He said

were to #e o#served forever )e have de"ided that the Sa##ath is no longer valid$ with no

s"riptural #asis whatsoever$ and made Sunday our Sa##ath ;et$ HWH y said the &ee*in# of

the Sa$$ath would $e a si#n $etween Him and His *eo*le forever$ 'B8o 4151F&1E B:ek

?951?( %nd look too at some of the priests the .hur"h has ordained

%lthough HWH y de"lared His name numerous times$ we have "hosen to su#stitute titles in pla"e of His name$ again with no s"riptural !ustifi"ation to do this )e still "all Him +aal

'@ord( as did Israel ?99 years ago )e have re!e"ted His law$ although ocwhy plainly

stated in his first Sermon on the Mount$ that he did not "ome to destroy the law or the

prophets$ #ut to fulfill them Aulfill doesnt mean =terminate> He further added that until

heaven and earth pass$ not one !ot or one tittle of the law shall in no wise pass from the law

until all #e fulfilled %nd whoever would #reak one of the least of these "ommandments and

tea"h men so$ shall #e "alled the least in the kingdom of heaven 'Matt C51&1( The last time

I looked$ heaven and earth were still here %ll things have not yet #een fulfilled Therefore$

either ocwhy lied$ and we are still in our sins or the law is still valid today

This is the reason that Bphraim Israel went into "aptivity and was s"attered among the nations

of the world HWH y said He would smite Israel and s"atter them #eyond the river and would

give them up #e"ause of their sins 'I Kings 1?51C&1FE Isa 56E ? Kings 15?1&?4( He told

them not to make any idols or graven images$ neither rear up a standing image 'o#elisk($ #ut

to keep His Sa##aths$ walk in His Statutes and keep His "ommandments If not$ He would

punish them times more for their sins and s"atter them among the heathen %ll this was

#e"ause they hated His statutes and law They wanted to do their own thing$ like many today

Read all @eviti"us ?F They served +aal,

They are prophesied to #e"ome =not a people> '7eut 4?5?1 This is important$ as we will see

later in this study 0aul refers to them in Rom 1951 They are the =@o&%mi> 'not a people( ofHosea .hapter 1 )e will get into more on this later

+ut$ all is not lostL +aru"h HaShem HWH y '+less the name of HWH y ( )e serve a

mer"iful "reator He said =%nd yet for all that$ when they #e in the land of their enemies$ I

will not "ast them away$ neither will I a#hor them$ to destroy them utterly$ and to #reak my

"ovenant with themE for I am HWH y their Blohim '@ev ?F5DD(

In fa"t$ HWH y intends to gather them from all the nations where He had s"attered them He

will on"e again #ring them into the land He had given to their fathers and they shall possess it

'7eut 4951&19( He said it was a =light thing>$ an easy task$ for the Messiah to re&gather all

the tri#es of Israel 'See Isa D5F(



%#out 1999 +.B$ #efore Israel was split into two kingdoms$ the prophet 3athan was

instru"ted #y HWH y to tell King 7avid that He would appoint a pla"e for Israel$ never to #e

moved again where the "hildren of wi"kedness would affli"t them no more 'II Sam 519E I

.hron 15( This prophe"y was given a#out 69 years #efore Israel split into two kingdoms

and at a time they were living in their own land and at pea"e This has to #e still future as they

were moved out of the land and are still #eing affli"ted today

Israel is to #e a people unto HWH y forever'II Sam 5?D( HWH y only has one "hosen

people and that is Israel The "hur"h is not a separate entity and does not repla"e Israel )hen

a person #e"omes #orn again$ they are grafted into the 2live tree of Israel If they are not

grafted in$ they are not HWH y s people 'not saved( The -ews have to "ome the same way

and although #roken off$ are grafted #a"k in also The $ride of the +essiah is Israel and

none other

The House of -udah and the House of Israel 'Bphraim( are "alled a Green 2live tree in -er

2kay$ this #rings me to the #ook of Isaiah I pondered for some time on how to present all the

In a nutshell$ Israel sinned '#roke the "ovenant( and was punished times more for their sins$



they went into "aptivity and were sown all over the world HWH y divor"ed them and said

they would no longer #e His people +ut the death of the Messiah made it possi#le for her

)e are a#out to get into the meat of the tea"hing at this point +efore I go into Isaiah and

pro"eed on through the prophets$ I think Ill #egin with Hosea #e"ause it lays a lot of

groundwork well need as we pro"eed

H,S-

Hosea was written a#out FC +.B or around D9 years #efore Israel went into the %ssyrian

"aptivity Hosea means Savior or Salvation Hosea is a type of the Messiah This is how

HWH y sees himself and Israel The entire #ook of Hosea is a#out Bphraim Israel and is

/uoted from many times in the renewed "ovenant '3ew Testament(

HWH y instru"ted Hosea to take a wife of whoredoms$ the same as HWH y did with Israel His

first son is named -e:reel 'Hos 15D($ whi"h means =HWH y sows> HWH y is a#out to sow or

s"atter Israel among the nations )hat He has sown$ He will one day reap HWH y goes on to

say in vD that He would "ause to "ease the &in#dom of the House of Israel

This did happen in the %ssyrian "aptivity and Israel "eased to #e a kingdom Aurther proof

that they never returned from the %ssyrian "aptivity as some allege$ is found in %"ts 15F whenthe dis"iples "ame to the Messiah and asked him if he would at this time restore a#ain the

&in#dom to Israel

%"ts 15F )hen they therefore were "ome together$ they asked of him$ saying$

Master$ wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel*

%nd he said unto them$ It is not for you to &now the times or the

seasons whi"h the Aather hath put in his own power

This indi"ates that the dis"iples "ertainly understood the s"riptures that prophesied the

gathering of #oth houses of Israel under one king$ the Messiah They didnt understand that

there would #e two separate "omings and thought the kingdom would #e restored then This

proves that at the time of the Messiahs earthly ministry$ Bphraim Israel was still in



dispersion Some have argued that Bphraim returned when the -ews did$ #ut this "learly

indi"ates they didnt 2nly a few of them attended the -osiah revival as we have already seen$

#ut not on a national #asis

Gomer$ Hoseas wife$ "on"eived again and #are him a daughter HWH y told him to name her

part of the 1? tri#es of Israel$ #ut is usually referred to in s"ripture as -udah 'in"luding

+en!amin($ whereas the other ten tri#es are simply "alled Israel This is an important

distin"tion the =.hur"h> world has missed$ as we shall see as we "ontinue Israel is often

look at this in detail when we study the #ook of B:ekiel

think they are doing %llahs will 'doing God a favor( and are willing to die for it

+a"k to the studyL

3oti"e in B:e 45?C&?$ right after the 7ay of HWH y and the Gog<Magog invasion$ HWH y

says5



?C Therefore thus saith HWH y BlohimE 3ow will I #ring again the "aptivity of

?6 Then shall they know that I am HWH y their Blohim$ whi"h "aused them to #e

my "ausing of them$ et"

? 3either will I hide my fa"e any more from them5 for I have poured out my

spirit upon the house of Israel$ saith HWH y Blohim

How "an you read these four verses and not get e8"ited HWH y s"attered Israel and pla"ed

them in a pla"e of safekeeping and in a land where they dwelt safely 'This may #e %meri"a(

%fter the Gog<Magog #attle and the great day of -e:reel 'HWH y sows($ Israel will #e reaped

The way it looks is that there is a partial re&gathering going on now with -udah preparing the

land for the full return of Bphraim The dry #ones prophe"y refers to this and to the

resurre"tion This o""urs at the #eginning of the 7ay of HWH y The =two sti"k> prophe"y is

The rest of the #ook of B:ekiel deals with the millennial temple Its interesting to note in

these verses that Israel will keep HWH y s laws$ statutes$ assem#lies and shall hallow His

Sa##aths 'B:e DD5?D( +ut )ait ,, I thought these had all #een done away with, I thought

Sunday was the .hristian Sa##ath "ommemorating the supposed resurre"tion day of ocwhyL never mind that he was resurre"ted at the end of the Sa##ath$ not on Sunday morning If

ocwhy was not in the grave 4 days and 4 nights$ he was not the Messiah ;ou "ant get 4

"omplete days and nights out of a Good Ariday "ru"ifi8ion and Sunday morning resurre"tion

ocwhy knew that in the latter days men would tea"h that the law had #een a#olished In his

the tri#e of Manasseh and the tri$e of 0ose*h. -oseph had two sons that had tri#es named for

anywhere*

There are more referen"es to the 19 tri#es in e8ile in the 3ew Testament that I havent listed

a#ove The apostles and early "hur"h understood there was to #e a future reunifi"ation of the

kingdom and assumed those to whom they wrote the epistles understood this also This #asi"

understanding of the early "hur"h was su"h that nothing needed to #e said a#out the @aw

#eing eternal or swines flesh still #eing un"lean and never "onsidered to #e food They allknew it 0eter re"ogni:ed that 0auls words were not always understood and were #eing

I find in my own studies$ that when there seems to #e a "onfli"t or "ontradi"tion in things said$

it is my own understanding that is at fault

This "on"ludes my study on the Two House of Israel Restoration in the latter days I wouldnt

have spent weeks putting this together if I wasnt a#solutely "onvin"ed #eyond any shadow of

a dou#t of the validity of this premise I pray you will go #a"k and look at all the s"riptures Ihave listed and ask the Rua"h HaKodesh 'Holy Spirit( to reveal to you whether or not these

things are so This study is somewhat "ompli"ated in that it is not something that is generally

taught in the "hur"h To really get a grasp of what I am tea"hing may re/uire going #a"k over

this study several times It is vitally important that the reader understand that the prophe"ies

"on"erning Israel in the end times are not only for the -ews$ #ut in most "ases are for those

who are still in the "hur"hes %s a #eliever in ocwhy $ ;2U are Israel, Most of the end time

prophe"ies are in the =2ld Testament> and are largely ignored #y the "hur"hes today They

pertain dire"tly to you,

There may #e pla"es in whi"h you may not agree with me Thats 2K$ I am falli#le$ #ut the

word of HWH y isnt I may have in"luded some s"riptures that have already happened in the past I dont think they would "hange anything I find that prophe"y often times has multiple

fulfillments

)hen I #e"ame aware of the Two House Restoration$ my understanding of prophe"y

#lossomed The s"riptures suddenly !ust opened up and #e"ame understanda#le I feel I have

#een #lessed with this knowledge of what is to transpire and who we are in ocwhy and what

is in our future

I dont #elieve a person "an fully understand the 3ew Testament without a good grasp of the

2ld Testament The 2ld Testament was all the early "hur"h had until letters #egan to #e

written to the various assem#lies These letters usually referred to some do"trine found in the

2ld Testament and e8plained it either as having its fulfillment in the ministry of ocwhy or

their future appli"ations 0auls audien"e was mostly -ews who were familiar with Torah and

the prophets They knew what 0aul meant when he was talking a#out the law 0aul didnt

have to go into detail and e8plain the #asi" tenets of the law and what part of the law he was

making referen"e to 'Sa"rifi"ial law$ moral law$ et"(

Is it possi#le$ that mainstream .hristianity has #een mistaken regarding the a#olishing of the

law* Undou#tedly, %fter all$ we see in Rev 1?51E 1D51? and ??51D that the Saints of HWH y

are those who have the testimony of ocwhy %37 keep the .ommandments of HWH y They

need to "ome #a"k to Torah$ keep the Ten .ommandments 'all ten of them($ the Sa##aths andAeasts They need to dump their su#stitute =holy> days that were derived from pagan sour"es

'Vmas$ Baster$ Halloween$ et"( Turn #a"k from fa#les and do"trines of demons and men to

the pure word of HWH y 7evelop a love for the truth and you will #e #lessed #y it 2ur

Aather will then reward you #y keeping you from the strong delusion that is "ome upon all the

earth '? Thess ?519&1?(
