In 1999, the Creator saved me by a miracle that was so powerful, I knew instantly that I would be giving the rest of my life to Him. Serving Him has often been difficult, but it was the best choice I ever made. I have never regretted it. Because of the nature of the miracle, […]
When I was a child, I was taught in church that the words Christian and Nazarene were synonyms, and that they referred to the same group of people. Years later, I realized that this was not correct. One of the Catholic Church founders, Epiphanius of Salamis, wrote a book in the early fourth century called […]
In the last chapter we saw that by the fourth century the Christians and the Nazarenes were two completely separate faiths—and that the Christians persecuted the Nazarenes. History indicates that the Messiah Yeshua was a Nazarene. However, history is not enough—we need to prove everything from Scripture. So, was Yeshua a Christian, or was He […]
This chapter explains why the Torah (the Law of Moses) serves as an enduring marital contract for all Israelites.
In Matthew 22, Yeshua quotes two verses from the Torah to show that love has always been at the heart of the Torah. Mattityahu (Matthew) 22:37-40 37 Yeshua said to him, “‘You shall love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ [Deuteronomy 6:5] 38 This is […]
The Roman Church uses the Roman calendar, in which the day begins at midnight. In contrast, the Hebrew day begins at evening. For example, Genesis 1:31 tells us: B’reisheet (Genesis) 1:31 31 And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Leviticus 23 verifies this, telling us that the Hebrew day lasts from evening […]
The relationship between the church and Nazarene Israel is complex. Later in this book we will show that the church fulfills the prophecies over Mystery Babylon, who is also described as the harlot (Revelation 17). She is a harlot because she does not have a marriage covenant (the Torah). In Scripture, many things are a […]
This chapter shows the Scriptural reasons why the papacy is the anti-messiah
Have you ever wondered why the United States has a special relationship with Great Britain, and also with Israel? This is explained by the Two House Theory. This theory is so important that we will come back to it repeatedly through the balance of this book. Genesis is prophetic. It establishes patterns that are repeated […]
After Joseph died, new kings arose who did not know of all the good things that Joseph had done for Egypt. These new kings feared Israel’s children, and chose to put them to hard bondage. After 430 years in Egypt, Yahweh sent a man named Moshe (Moses) to bring Israel’s children out. He brought them […]
Yahweh loves us, and wants us to become a bride fit for His Son. He wants us to become our very best. That is why He applies high standards of discipline, like a caring drill sergeant. In matters of discipline, Elohim is never random. Just like in the military, Elohim has a uniform code of […]
In the last chapter we saw how the Ephraimites fell into idolatry and called Yahweh Bel/Ba’al (Lord). We also saw how Yahweh said He would sow them into the earth like seed for their disobedience. This would be the first step in fulfilling the promises given to Avraham and Ya’akov (Jacob), such that every family, […]
In the last chapter we saw how the lost ten tribes of Israel were sent into the dispersion for disobedience. But how long were they to be gone? When were they to return? Several of the prophecies give us answers to these questions, and more. Ezekiel was told to lie on his left side for […]
We spoke earlier about of the Assyrian Dispersion, and how Yahweh sent the Assyrians to take Ephraim away, but the Assyrians were not particular. They also took away some of the people from the southern tribes (Judah and Benjamin). This may be why Ya’akov (James) writes his epistle not just to the ten tribes of […]
When the Prophet Eliyahu (Elijah) fled from Ahab and Jezebel, he went to dwell at Mount Sinai (which is Horeb). While he was there, “a voice came to him” from Yahweh. Melachim Aleph (1 Kings) 19:11-13 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” And behold, Yahweh passed by, and […]
In the last chapter we saw how the Levitical order had no funding when the Jews went into Babylon—and therefore the Levitical order collapsed. Then we saw how the rabbinical order arose to take its place. This provided continuity of leadership, but it gave rise to a different problem in that the rabbis had to […]
As we will see, Yeshua established a high standard for His original twelve disciples—and yet there were other disciples in the first century who did not meet the same high standard Yeshua established. But how was that possible? To understand the answer to this question (and what it means for us today) let us look […]
Yahweh is following a methodical plan to restore fallen mankind. The first step was to find a man who would obey His voice and save his family from a flood. The next step was to find a man who was willing to leave his home and his kin, and sojourn in a land that he […]
Earlier we saw how Yeshua gave His disciples a great commission to go into all nations, and raise up even more disciples. As we will see, these disciples were to serve as the officer corps of His unified spiritual army. Mattityahu (Matthew) 28:18-20 18 And Yeshua came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has […]
This chapter explains why Acts 15 is really about how the apostles realized that rabbinic custom and tradition did not apply to the returning Gentile Ephraimites.
Revelation 12:13-17 says that when the dragon (Satan) saw that he had been cast to earth, he persecuted the woman (true Israel) who gave birth to the male child (Yeshua). The woman was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place. There she is nourished […]
Prophecy is not given to us so we can know the future. Rather, we are given prophecy so that when the events take place, they confirm our faith. Nonetheless, if we study the prophecies we can learn some things—and not only can this help us stay out of harm’s way, it can also show us […]
We have covered a lot of ground in this book, but in this closing chapter, let us put things in perspective—because without this perspective, we will not be able to please our Husband. Yahweh created the woman as a helper for the man. B’reisheet (Genesis) 2:18 18 And Yahweh Elohim said, “It is not good […]
