Welcome to the Prime Minister series, where we try to give short parasha insights that could be beneficial to someone in the kingship role of the house of Judah! A big welcome to the esteemed Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Israel Knesset! And also, to the rabbis of the Orthodox Sanhedrin!
If you do not know who I am, I am the man the Sanhedrin chose to be the leader of the house of Joseph in 5776 (or 2016)! I will tell you the full story in the upcoming Interreligious Dialogue series, but in 5776, Elohim had just given me a vision that summer, and I was working on a study! The study was named The Genesis 35 Alliance, after this parasha! And I will tell you the full story later, but when I visited the Israel365 website to do some research on Mashiach ben Yosef, the Orthodox Sanhedrin had my computer hijacked, with me on it!
To this day I still do not know who was in the room on the far side, except that it is Rabbi Tuly Weisz’ website! But then they threatened me, and then they told me that they wanted me to be their gentile Christian Messiah of the house of Joseph, whom they call Mashiach ben Yosef! And we will cover everything in our upcoming documentary!
What we want to do here is a parasha for the house of Judah! And that might seem unusual, but please bear in mind that you have a brother who wants to help you! And he sees things from a different angle! And we want to help, but Judah must stop the harassment!
Yeshayahu (or Isaiah) 11:13 tells us that the day will come when Joseph’s son Ephraim will no longer envy Judah, and Judah shall no longer harass Ephraim! And we will talk about the Birkhat HaMinim in the upcoming documentary!
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 11:13
13 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 32:3-36:43
- Administrative note: Sorry about the English. We want to dialogue in Hebrew, but there are time limitations.Let us begin!
Two camps, two houses
One of the earliest hints that we have found regarding the establishment of the Two Houses is found in B’reisheet (or Genesis) 32:6, where Esav sent 400 armed men to strike Jacob down, and Jacob divided the camp.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 32:6-7
7 “Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
8 So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.”
Notice Jacob put the handmaiden’s children first. And that is brutal, but there are plusses and minuses to everything. The fact that Leah and her children go ahead of Rachel and her children. And that is one reason why it is Judah in the land of Israel, and not Joseph! Leah’s children we out in front! And we will talk about this in the upcoming Abraham Accords video series, but this is why future generations of Joseph will acknowledge a debt of gratitude to the kingship house, which came back first. Only, neither Judah nor Joseph does perfect!
Notice that by B’reisheet (Genesis) 32:28, Jacob (or “Trickster”) is told that his name is no longer to be called “Trickster”, but “Israel”, meaning “the Upright Ones of Elohim”! It means that to overcome, Elohim wanted him to do things His way—not as a trickster, but as an overcomer!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 32:28
28 “And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with Elohim and with men, and have prevailed.”
Notice, Jacob has become two camps! This is indicative of the two future houses of Israel, Judah and Joseph! And according to Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman, or Nachmanides, the actions of the fathers establish patterns which often repeat or “prophetically shadow” themselves in subsequent generations!
But so now let us ask ourselves, what does it mean that Israel has become two camps? Judah came back to the land first, because Caleb was of Judah! And in Bemidbar (or Numbers) 13:30, Caleb quieted the people before Moshe, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession of the land, for we are well able to overcome it!” And Joshua was quick to join in, but it was Caleb’s initiative!
Because Caleb took the initiative on behalf of the land, the land was given to Judah! And Joseph will come home after the fighting is done, and everyone has gone back to the Tanach!
Bemidbar (Numbers) 13:30
30 “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
Orthodox Jewish death curse upon house of Joseph
One reason Joseph cannot suffer the Talmudic harassment is that Orthodox Judah prays a liturgical curse over Joseph three times each weekday, asking for Joseph’s obliteration!
“For the apostates [meaning anyone who has left Orthodox Judaism, such as Yeshua (or Jesus), and everyone who follows Him] let there be no hope! And uproot the kingdom of arrogance speedily and in our days!
May the Nazarenes and [all] the [other] sectarians [or the other “minim”] perish, as in a moment!
Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written together with the righteous! You are praised, O Adonai, who subdues the arrogant!”
[Wikipedia, Jerusalem Talmud-Birkat haMinim]
And if you go to Wikipedia, and look up the Birkhat HaMinim, you can see that the Orthodox Jews pray for the obliteration of all Josephite Christians, 18 times a week!
“The Birkat haMinim (Hebrew: ברכת המינים “Blessing on the heretics”) is a curse on heretics which forms part of the Jewish rabbinical liturgy. It is the twelfth in the series of eighteen benedictions (Shemoneh Esreh) that constitute the core of prayer service in the statutory daily ‘standing prayer’ of religious Jews.”
[Wikipedia, Birkat haMinim]
Orthodox Jews pray for the death of all Josephite Christians:
- 18 times a week
- 936 times a year (almost a thousand times every year!)
- (Joseph cannot come home like this!)
And Wikipedia shows us the Talmud passage, Berakhot (or “Blessings”) 28b-29a, which (as we will see) makes it obligatory to pray for the forced racial conversion, death, or enslavement of all Christians, and all other Jews, except the Orthodox!
And we will cover the details in our upcoming video series for the Prime Minister and the Knesset, but everyone knows that for each and every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction! So, if you curse Joseph 936 times each year, then, according to B’reisheet (Genesis) 12:3, what is going to come back to you?
“This is embedded in a baraita of the tractate on Blessings (b. Ber. 28bb–29a) written during the Mishnaic period. Early modern printed editions, including the Soncino edition of 1484, have a slightly different version in which the minim are identified as the Sadducees [modern-day Karaites]. The addition of Nazarenes to the standard reading suggested that, were the Talmudic accounts of the formulation of the prayer historically grounded, a Jewish consensus that Christians in their fold were heretical had consolidated itself already by the first decades after the destruction of the Second Temple.”
[Wikipedia, Jerusalem Talmud-Birkat haMinim]
And you cannot say that you are unable to distinguish between Joseph and Esav, because you sure were able to distinguish between us when you hijacked my computer! So, why does the kingship office of Judah allow the priesthood to curse the house of Joseph, and ask for our deaths and obliteration?
Name change from “Trickery” to “Upright Ones of Elohim”!
In verse 18, Jacob plays a trick. (Perhaps that is why the text calls him “Jacob” here!) Later, Elohim will remind Jacob that his name is Israel, meaning “the Upright Ones of Elohim” (who win through uprightness with Elohim, and not through sly tricks)!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 32:18
18 “Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us.’ “
We do not have time to unpack this right now, but Yeshayahu (or Isaiah) chapter 30:1 tells us that historically, Judah has made plans that do not come from Him! And in the upcoming documentary series for the prime minister and the Knesset, we will see how the Talmud has an end time view that is entirely different from what Elohim prophesies over Joseph in the Tanach!
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 30:1
1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says Yahweh, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;”
Again, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel”!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 32:28
28 “And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with Elohim and with men, and have prevailed.”
Judah returns to the land before Joseph
Now in chapter 33, we will see Israel divide Leah and Rachel! And I do not know any nicer way to say this, but this foreshadows how the future kingship tribe would go ahead of Joseph in the face of trials, and into the land! And that might be a remez (or a hint, or a foreshadowing) of how Judah would go before Joseph! This is a hint of how Judah would come back to the land first!
And right now, Judah has an ongoing existential struggle to gain real sovereignty over the land! And if Joseph will remember, Joseph knows what it is like! Joseph broke free from Esav’s domination in the Protestant Reformation of 5278 (or 1517 CE)! And it took over two hundred years of war to break free! Judah’s situation is different, but Judah is also outnumbered, just as Joseph use to be! So, pray for brother Judah, in his struggle to break free of Esav!
And here is a pattern for you! In verse 13, Jacob is not honest!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 33:13
13 “But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die.”
Jacob has been told that his name will be Israel! And, in the Special Forces Officer’s Qualification Course 3-84, one of the things they teach you (or at least they used to) is that you can fight a guerilla (or a shadow war) behind the scenes (and even underground) right up until the last phase! But to win the final phase, you must come out in the open! It’s the only way to win the final phase!
So, if you think deeply about what that means, what it means is that both Judah and Joseph need to pray for each other, because at this point in time, because Judah and Joseph are supposed to be pushed together in these end times! And back here in Parasha Vayishelach, the two houses were both still together! Back in those days, the Jews and the Christians were still part of the same camp! We all come from Leah, Zilpah, Bilhah, and Rachel! All of us! And we all come from Israel! all of us!
In verse 17, we see trickery again! Jacob has tricked Esav into leaving him alone! Only, every time you play a trick, it comes back on you! There is a boomerang effect (so it is better not to play tricks!)
B’reisheet (Genesis) 33:17
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. Therefore, the name of the place is called Succoth.
Talmudic support of child predation
Now, B’reisheet (Genesis) chapter 34 is one of the best arguments I know of for taking care about whom you let your children associate with! If you are a parent, take an interest in the families your children play with! Check them out! You do not want your children to get predated upon!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 34:2
2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and violated her.
And in that vein, we need to look at Talmud Tractate Yevamot 60b, which defines a woman as being “fit for intercourse” when she is over the age of three.
“Rav Huna explains: You must say that the verse is speaking of a woman who is fit for intercourse. The verse does not mean to distinguish between women who have actually engaged in sexual intercourse and those who have not. Rather, it distinguishes between a girl over the age of three, with whom an act of intercourse is recognized as such, and a girl below the age of three.”
[https://www.sefaria.org/Yevamot.60b?lang=bi]
Joseph finds it disgusting in places like Yevamot 60b, that the Talmud asserts that when a woman sits on the opening of a barrel of wine, you could tell if she was a non-virgin because her breath would smell like wine! However, if she was a virgin, her breath did not smell like wine!
“Similarly, you can say with regard to the verse: “And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins that had not known man by lying with him” (Judges 21:12). From where did they know that they were virgins? Rav Kahana said: They sat them on the opening of a barrel of wine. If she was a non-virgin, her breath would smell like wine; if she was a virgin, her breath did not smell like wine.”
[https://www.sefaria.org/Yevamot.60b?lang=bi]
In Tractate Avodah Zarah 37a, the Gemara explains the reason for this opinion:
“Since a nine-year-old boy is fit to engage in intercourse, he also imparts ritual impurity as one who experienced ziva. Ravina said: Therefore, with regard to a female gentile child who is three years and one day old, since she is fit to engage in intercourse at that age, she also imparts impurity as one who experienced ziva. Ravina said: Therefore, with regard to a female gentile child who is three years and one day old, since she is fit to engage in intercourse at that age, she also imparts impurity as one who experienced ziva.”
[Tractate Avodah Zarah 37a]
And the rabbis have excuses for all these things, but just a word to the wise, Joseph will never buy this! The Talmud is presently stopping Joseph from coming home!
Do our prayers align with Elohim’s will?
Now, with all the respect, Judah prays for Joseph’s obliteration!
“For the apostates [meaning anyone who has left Orthodox Judaism, such as Yeshua (or Jesus), and everyone who follows Him] let there be no hope! And uproot the kingdom of arrogance speedily and in our days!
May the Nazarenes and [all] the [other] sectarians [or the other “minim”] perish, as in a moment!
Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written together with the righteous! You are praised, O Adonai, who subdues the arrogant!”
[Wikipedia, Jerusalem Talmud-Birkat haMinim]
Joseph prays for the day when Jews and Josephites can study the Tanach together, to agree on what it truly says that Elohim wants! But the Talmud is stopping all of Joseph’s efforts to make progress together on building unity on Elohim’s words in the Tanach!
For one small example, in Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 59a, there is a big dispute about what to do with the gentiles who want to read Tanach (which includes Joseph in their view)! And the conclusion is that Josephite Christians are only allowed to study what pertains to the so-called seven Noachide Laws (even though they exist nowhere in the Tanach)!
“And Rabbi Yoḥanan says: A gentile who engages in Torah study is liable to receive the death penalty; as it is stated: “Moses commanded us a law [torah], an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob” (Deuteronomy 33:4), indicating that it is an inheritance for us, and not for them.”
“The Gemara answers: There, in the baraita, the reference is to a gentile who engages in the study of their seven mitzvot. It is a mitzva for a gentile to study the halakhot that pertain to the seven Noahide mitzvot, and when he does so he is highly regarded.”
[Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 59a]
Meaning, Joseph is not supposed to read the Bible! Gentile Josephite Christians are not allowed to read the Tanach! But rather, they are to study the seven so-called “Noachide laws”!
And if gentile Joseph “limits himself to the seven alleged Noachide Laws, then he’s highly regarded!” Because he’s giving an example to other Josephite Christians to give up their inheritance in Tanach, in complete contrast to what the Tanach (or the older Testament) says! The Talmud is clearly adding to Elohim’s commandments! This is strictly prohibited in places like Devarim (or Deuteronomy) 4:2!
Devarim (or Deuteronomy) 4:2
2 “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim which I command you.”
(What could He be trying to tell us here?)
B’reisheet (Genesis) 35:9-10
9 Then Elohim appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.
10 And Elohim said to him, “Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel.
“Return to Me”, says Yahweh!
Now, in B’reisheet (Genesis) chapter 35:11, here we see a reason to come out of the shadows, and convert to conventional mode, in order to establish the final phase! And the only way to complete the final phase is to go back to the Tanach! And as we will see in the documentary, Joseph cannot come home until Judah goes back to the Tanach!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 35:11
11 Also Elohim said to him: “I am Elohim Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.
We will cover more in our upcoming documentary, but if you get one thing from this parasha, get that there are two Israelite camps! We have a great nation, Judah, the kingship house, in the lead! And then we have a “company of Josephite Christian nations” (which are different than the Esavite Christian nations)!
And I was starting to write this book when I visited the Israel 365 website to do some research, and my computer was hijacked, and my new life began in 5776, or 2016 CE! I will give you all the details in the upcoming documentary series. But, with all the respect, Joseph wants to see Judah succeed!
Only, you are not going to be able to form the Genesis 35 Alliance until Judah goes back to the pure Levitical Order that is commanded in the Tanach! You cannot fulfill Elohim’s Tanach prophecies unless you study and follow the prophecies in the Tanach! That is just how it is! I cannot say it nicer! He has no incentive to bless disobedience and the setting up of our own plans!
Bringing the house of Joseph home
But now let us notice something essential in verse 12! The land that Elohim gave to Abraham and Isaac, he gave to all 12 tribes, and to the offspring of all 12 tribes after them! And again, we’re talking about the sons of the same father Israel! A nation, and a company of Josephite (or Ephraimite) Christian nations! This is Elohim’s plan!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 35:12
12 “The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”
And in the video series for the prime minister and the Knesset, we will do our best to help Judah learn how to differentiate Joseph from Esav, according to the Tanach!
This chapter shows us how the two houses come from the same four women! And the same father! And Elohim says that all of Israel’s children will come back to the land of Israel, in the end of times! Both houses will come back! But how can Joseph come home when even Wikipedia openly admits that the Orthodox Jews call for the deaths of all Christians, and all other Jews worldwide?
In verse 29, Esav and Jacob (or Israel) buried Yitzhak (or Isaac) together. Now, in prophecy, Jacob can mean Judah, but in this context, it means our forefather Israel, and his children, who later became the Jews and the Christians! And we will come back to it!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 35:29
29 “So Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.”
Now in Chapter 36:1, These are the toldot (or generations) of Esav, whose son is Edom. In verse 2, Esav took wives of the Canaanites! This explains Esav’s support of the Canaanites. Esav mixes with the world! And in verse three, he also married into Ishmael’s line! So, this explains why the red horse supports Palestinian types of peoples!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 36:2
2 “Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;”
Recognizing Joseph from Esav
However, we need to note carefully that the Two Houses of Jacob are not the same as the sons of Esav! They are different! And we will talk about that more in the second chapter of our upcoming video series, where we talk about the two different types of Christians, Esav, and Joseph!
And we will talk about the re-emergence of White Horse Joseph in 5278 (or 1517 CE), in the Protestant Reformation, after having been lost inside of Esav for 1,260 years! And there are continuing generational efforts to help Joseph get cleaned up, and fully separated from Esav! (And it is an ongoing work!)
Verse 31 tells that that these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom (which is Esav), before any king reigned over the Israelites! Can you see that the two Israelite houses of Judah and Joseph are different than Esav?
B’reisheet (Genesis) 36:31
31 “Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel:”
Sadly, horribly, Whitehorse Joseph was merged with Esav for 1260 years, when Joseph was given into Esav’s hand for a time, and times, and half a time, as it says in Daniel 7:25!
Daniel 7:25
25 “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.”
However, Baruch HaEl, all of that changed at the Protestant Reformation! But there were more than 200 years of war just to get free! So, respectfully, can Judah understand why Joseph does not like to be conflated with Esav?
And to close the Torah portion, verse 43 tells us again that Edom is Esav! (NOT Joseph!)
B’reisheet (Genesis) 36:43
43 “Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Esau was the father of the Edomites.”
Hoshea (Hosea) 11-12
So now we come to Hoshea (or Hosea) chapters 11 and 12. And in context, what we want to point out in Hoshea 11 and 12 is just the simple existence of two houses! And that is because as we will show in our upcoming documentary, Orthodox Judah conflates Joseph with Esav, and with all other Gentiles! They make no distinction!
In Hosea 11:11, Yahweh says the house of Joseph (or Ephraim) shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt (or the world), like a dove from the land of Assyria (which got swallowed up by Babylon, and is now part of the Mystery Babylonian system).
Hoshea (Hosea) 11:11
11 “They shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt, like a dove from the land of Assyria. And I will let them dwell in their houses,” says Yahweh.”
And we will talk about what all that means in the Four Horses series! However, notice that Yahweh says he will let the House of Joseph (or Ephraim) come home, and let us dwell in our houses! And in the documentary we will see how the Talmud paints a completely different end time trajectory, which replaces the prophecies over Joseph!
Hoshea 12:8 tells us that Joseph’s son Ephraim makes an idol out of wealth and an easy life!
Hoshea (Hosea) 12:8
8 “And Ephraim said, ‘Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’ ”
When I read this, I think of Prosperity Doctrine! And let us contrast that to the profound sacrifices the house of Judah has made, in order to secure the land! Baron Rothschild even bought the land from the Ottoman Empire for $35,000,000 piastres, almost 200 years ago! But many Ephraimites want to stay in the USA! And some of them do not care about establishing the Jewish Millennial Reign! So, the drunkards of Ephraim have said,
“Surely I have become rich! I have found wealth for myself! So, since I found it for myself, I do not need to use it to help build Elohim’s kingdom! I can keep my Mina or my zuz in my pocket! And in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that is sin!” Because they are enjoying their lives in the world!
And I have met Ephraimites with time to go vacationing in summer, and then they do not have any vacation time left come Sukkot, so they cannot go! I have met Ephraimites with airplanes and summer houses who have no time and no money for Elohim! (Sigh!) It is like, “Okay! If you are going to be that way with Elohim, do not be surprised if He is that way with you come the judgment!” It is like, “Hello?? Is Ephraim-body home?”
Judah sets the example for dedication that Joseph needs first to recognize, and then to beat! Because inaction for the Kingdom grieves Elohim!
Hoshea 12:14
14 “Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly; therefore his Adon will leave the guilt of his bloodshed upon him, and return his reproach upon him.”
Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly! (Because Ephraim receives all of the prodigious blessings, and refused to organize to establish the Kingdom!) Therefore, his Adon will leave the guilt of Ephraim’s bloodshed upon him, And return Ephraim’s reproach upon him, because his money was for him, instead of for His Maker!
And what it means is that if we will dedicate ourselves to doing His will, He will take care of us, like it was in the Garden! But we must do things His way! If we make up our own Isaiah 30:1 program, or if we are slack, he will leave our blood guilt on us! And is there anyone here who can afford that?
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 30:1
1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says Yahweh, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;”
Ovadiah (Obadiah)
Now, for Ovadiah (or Obadiah), what we have is the destruction of Esav! And the Esav system is a system that claims to believe on Elohim, but exalts humanity instead! And in verse 10, we see how Esav (or Edom) will be cut off forever! And as we will see in the upcoming series on the four horses, this will take place after Trumpet 7 (of the book of Hitgalut, or Revelation)!
Ovadiah (Obadiah) 1:10
10 “For violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.”
And in verse 11, we see why Esav gets whacked! In verse 11, when the children of Judah were in distress, Esav rejoiced! So, what we see here is a pretty good operational definition for the Spirit of Esav! Esav hates Jacob (both Judah and Joseph)! Esav curses Jacob (both Judah and Joseph)! So, we should not be like esav!
Ovadiah (Obadiah) verse 11
11 “In the day that you stood on the other side—in the day that strangers carried captive his forces, when foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem—even you were as one of them.”
And in verse 12, Esav spoke proudly in Judah’s day of distress! (It is like something you can see on YouTube these days!)
Ovadiah (Obadiah) verse 12
12 “But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother in the day of his captivity; nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah In the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.”
Now, if you think you are Joseph, and yet you rejoice over the distress of Judah, then how do you know you are truly Joseph? How do you know that you are not inwardly of Esav? Because it is Esav who hates the children of Jacob, both Judah and Joseph! If you are going to curse either Judah or Joseph, then you are violating Genesis chapter 12:3! Plain and simple!
B’reisheet (Genesis) 12:3
3 “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Punishment upon Esav (NOT Joseph!)
Ovadiah (Obadiah) 1:18 (Talmud Version)
18 “And the house of Jacob (here meeting Judah) shall be a fire! And the Bnei Noach slaves of Joseph shall be for a flame!”
Oh no, wait! Sorry, that was the Talmud version! (How does verse 18 go?)
Ovadiah (Obadiah) 1:18
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame; but the house of Esau shall be stubble; they shall kindle them and devour them, and no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,” for Yahweh has spoken.
Verse 19 tells us that Judah and Joseph shall take Judah and Samaria together!
Ovadiah (Obadiah) 1:19
19 “The South shall possess the mountains of Esau, and the Lowland shall possess Philistia. They shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria. Benjamin shall possess Gilead.”
Only, how can that happen if Joseph is all force-racially-converted to Judaism, or is taken a Bnei Noach slave, or is put to death? Joseph does not understand!
Yochanan (John) 1-2
Now, briefly, in the Brit Chadasha (or the Renewed Covenant), in Yochanan (or John) 1:19-20, Judah sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask Yochanan HaMatbil (or John the Immerser, or John the Baptist) if he was the Messiah!
And as we will show in the upcoming religious dialogue series, Daniel 9:25-26 tells us that Mashiach Nagid, or Mashiach the Prince, had to arrive physically before the end of the Second Temple Era!
Daniel 9:25-26
25 “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times.
26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined.”
And if you use King Artashasta (or King Artaxerxes) as the starting point for the 483-year count, we will see that one like Moshe did come 483 years after King Artashasta! And we will give the details in our upcoming video series, but if you are still looking for a Messiah after the close of the Second Temple Era, Daniel 9:26 says you are missing the boat! (Or rather, you are missing Mashiach! And everyone needs Mashiach!)
Making merchandise of Elohim’s word
And just a word for Joseph, in Yochanan (or John) 2:16, any Notzri who either buys or sells Scripture commentary or Scripture interpretation (or otherwise does ministry for a profit), please remember that the only time that Yeshua is recorded as becoming physically violent is when His people try to monetize the activities of His Father’s house!
Yochanan (John) 2:16
16 “And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”
Someone might think it’s time to cleanse the land! It is time to cleanse our hearts first! And with all due respect, President Trump might reconsider monetizing the Bible to raise funds for political activities! With all the respect, that is a bad long-term strategy, Mister President! With all due respect, there are better ways!
Next week we will see where the downward spiral begins for the Two Houses, in Parasha Vayeshev! And in the meantime, please pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for our brothers and sisters in Judah!
And if you are Christian, let us remember the injunction to pray for kings and all those who occupy the kingship role, especially the prime minister, the Knesset, and President Biden! And please pray also for both Judah and Joseph to obey the Tanach, so that Joseph can come home!
May Elohim be with you all!
Shabbat shalom!
