‘Got Organization?’ Lesson Plan:
First, we want to give a big “Thank you!!” to the few who are faithfully entering into His covenant and His program in a real way. We pray for you and your families, that Elohim will help you in your faithful walk in Him and His Son, Yeshua HaMashiach.
In this week’s lesson, I need to ask some questions, and ask those who are following the videos each week who have not entered into the program to please consider the things in this study. And to pray about why you have not yet entered in.
The main questions in this study are:
- Do our people understand that the Renewed Covenant REQUIRES organization? (i.e., it is not ‘everyone do their own thing’.)
- Do our people understand that if we do not organize as a nation, then we will not get to go home?
- Do our people understand that if we do not organize as a nation, then we may not even survive the end times?
We will also talk about the definitions of ‘halacha’ and of ‘Gnosticism’.
The Renewed Covenant Requires a Standing Priesthood
If you have not yet watched our video on ”Why The Renewed Covenant Requires A Standing Priesthood”, you can watch that video here. We highly recommend doing so if you have not yet, because this video explains why we cannot possibly keep the first-century faith that Yeshua gave “once for all delivered to the set-apart ones” without keeping the order that He commanded.
Now, if you have already listened to this video but have not committed to following the order described in the Renewed Covenant, we need to ask, what is preventing you from doing so?
Are we placing His kingdom above everything else in our lives, walking in full obedience to Him?
Mattityahu (Matthew) 6:33
33 “But seek first the kingdom of Elohim and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Do we see and understand how organization is required to perform the things commanded in Scripture? Or how else will these commandments be fulfilled in the end times without a standing priesthood?
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 45:22
22 And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 46:16
16 ‘Thus says Adonai Yahweh: “If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
Do we understand the need to keep the SAME IDENTICAL faith and Halacha that Yeshua Himself and His disciples kept in the first century? Do we see that that means doing everything He said to do, including building His Kingdom upon His Five-fold ministry order?
And if we do not walk just as He walked, how are we “earnestly contending for the faith which was once for all delivered to the set-apart ones”?
Yehudah (Jude) 1:3
3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the set-apart ones.
How are we keeping the faith if we are not organizing the way Scripture says to organize under the Melchizedekian Order?
If we are not following the foundation of Apostles and Prophets, and the Five-fold ministry, then we are doing something other than the ‘gospel’ delivered unto us. If we are not keeping the ‘decrees’ determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, then how are we keeping the Original first-century faith?
Ma’asei (Acts) 16:4
4 And as [Shaul and Timothy] went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.Titus 1:5
5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—
Do we understand the passages that we are reading? Do we see all of the many examples of biblical organization and leadership in the Renewed Covenant under the Melchizedekian Order?
If we are followers of Yeshua, and followers of what He and His disciples taught in the first century, then how are we doing what they taught and did? If we do not organize, and do not have accountability between brethren, how will we ever walk according to the faith He delivered once and for all unto the set-apart ones?
First-century standing priesthood:
Scripture shows us that, in the first-century, there was order. There was a standing priesthood. There was biblical leadership that made the important decisions for the unified body, in obedience to the written Torah and Elohim’s voice. It was organized, and everyone filled their roles according to their spiritual giftings. There was unity upon the Halacha. For example, we see the following:
- Yaakov (or James) was the Nasi of separated priesthood)
- Shaul (Shaliach Gadol of separated priesthood)
- Titus (Shaliach Katan of separated priesthood)
- Elders (non-separated)
- Deacons (non-separated)
- Disciples (non-separated)
Do we see that the disciples were concerned about those who were not ‘united with them’ as a unified, organized body, who were simply going off and doing things their own way? Do we see how odd that seemed to the disciples, to have a division in doctrine and in halacha?
Marqaus (Mark) 9:38
38 Now Yochanan answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

What is ‘Halacha’?
What is ‘halacha’ and why is it so important? Halacha means ‘to walk’ or ‘to go’, and is commonly translated to mean ‘the way’. It is the determined way that a Jewish sect conducts all aspects of life, so that everyone in that body remains unified as a people, in obedience to Elohim.
“Halacha (often spelled Halakhah) is the collective body of Jewish religious law. Derived from the Hebrew root meaning “to walk” or “to go“, it is commonly translated as “the way” and dictates how Jews should conduct all aspects of their daily lives, including religious rituals, ethics, and civil matters.
[AI Overview]
In other words, the sect of the Nazarenes had one specific halacha that everyone followed. (It was not a ‘every man do as he wilt’ attitude. There was unity upon doctrine and accountability among the brethren.)
Imagine Orthodox Jews (Pharisees) who REJECT the Talmud and the traditions and teachings of men—yet who tightly organize, and have their own highly specific way of worship!
First-century Jewish sects
In Acts 6 (below), we see examples of different Jewish sects that existed in the first century.
Ma’asei (Acts) 6:1
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
What makes a sect different is that each sect has it’s own halacha (or doctrine, way to walk).
This image shows how the “Messianic Israelites” or most “Ephraimites” today are more like the 4,000 and the 5,000 of the first century, who only thought they were disciples. They thought it was only necessary to know what to do, but that you do not have to actually ‘do it’!
Again, we see examples throughout the Renewed Covenant of individuals who walked in a different way (halacha) from Yeshua’s teachings and the Nazarene Israelite doctrine.
Marqaus (Mark) 9:38
38 Now Yochanan answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”
לֹא־הָלַךְ אַחֲרֵינוּ׃
Our walk (halacha) is important. It is what determines whether we really are walking as Nazarene Israelites, or not. Lip service faith is not enough. Scripture says that he who abides in Yeshua HaMashiach must ‘walk as Yeshua walked’. Meaning, we must keep the same Halacha!
Yochanan Aleph (1 John) 2:6
6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
In Acts, we see an example of when Shaliach (Apostle) Shaul was accused (falsely) that he did not keep ‘the way’ (or the halacha), which included keeping all of the written Torah and the Prophets. Shaliach (or Apostle) Shaul makes a point to correct the misunderstanding.
Ma’asei (Acts) 19:23
23 And about that time there arose a great commotion about the Way.Ma’asei (Acts) 24:14
14 “But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Torah and in the Prophets.
Messianics vs Min HaNetzerim
The original first-century Min HaNetzerim (sect of the Nazarenes) had organization and their own halacha (mark 9:38). The 4,000 and the 5,000 Messianics co-existed with the Min HaNetzerim in the first century. As Messianics moved outside the land of Israel, there was a Great Falling Away first into Christianity (Acts 11:26), and then into Catholicism.
Below are two diagrams. The first shows the first-century Jewish sects as described in the Renewed Covenant. These sects include the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Hellenists, the Nazarenes, the Kristiayanos, the Essenes, etc.
The second diagram lists first-century sects of Notzrim including: the Min HaNetzerim, the ‘Pharisees who believed (UCMJ), Hellenists/Messianics, Gnostics, etc.
Definition of Gnosticism:
We see that it is necessary to keep the same halacha as was kept in the first-century. So, why is it so difficult to convince our people to do so? We need to talk about what Gnosticism is and how it effects the house of Ephraim today.
In Gnosticism, salvation is believed to be achieved by ‘much learning’, regardless of obedience or application. In other words, you only have to learn what you are supposed to be doing, but you do not have to actually do it. You can be a ‘hearer of the word’ and not a ‘doer of the word’. Big problem today in the house of Ephraim.
“The Gnostics were a diverse group of early religious and philosophical sects—primarily active between the 2nd and 5th centuries—who believed that salvation was achieved not through faith or institutional sacraments, but through gnosis (secret, experiential, or mystical knowledge).”

Torah-lite attitude inside Ephraim
Elohim is not looking for people to be more ‘knowledgeable’ about His commandments without obedience. He is not looking for lip service, but for faithful obedience.
Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:21
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Adon, Adon,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven…
That means doing everything He says to do, and not just picking and choosing what parts of Torah to keep.
Meaning, we must organize and obey Yeshua to establish the kingdom. If we do not, then we risk falling into the category of believers who give lip service unto Elohim, but Elohim is not pleased with us because of our disobedience to His commandments (His halacha).
Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:22-23
22 “Many will say to Me in that day, “Adon, Adon, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice Torahlessness!’”
Yaakov (or James), the nasi of the first century sect, warns to be ‘doers of the word’, and not ‘hearers only’. Who is he talking to? His letter is addressed to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad. Why? Because of the Great Falling Away.
Yaakov (James) 1:1
1 Yaakov, a bondservant of Elohim and of the Master Yeshua HaMashiach, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.Yaakov (James) 1:22
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.Romim (Romans) 2:12-13
12 For as many as have sinned without Torah will also perish without Torah, and as many as have sinned in the Torah will be judged by the Torah
13 (for not the hearers of the Torah are just in the sight of Elohim, but the doers of the Torah will be justified.
His promises are good and true. He promises that if we heed all that He commands us, and walk in His ways, and do what is right in His sight to keep all of His statutes and commandments, He will be with us and build for us an enduring house, and give us the Land. Do we want this promise? If so, then we must obey everything He says.
Melachim Aleph (1 Kings) 11:38
38 “Then it shall be, IF you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, THEN I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.”
But our pattern as mankind is to go away, to stray, and to do things our way. Our pattern is to flee from authority over us. Some authority figures have been very bad examples, but that does not make all authority bad. You can have a bad apple, that does not mean to avoid all apples.
Melachim Aleph (1 Kings) 12:16
16 Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying: “What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now, see to your own house, O David!” So Israel departed to their tents.Ivrim (Hebrews) 10:24-25
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Once we know what to do, we must correct. Once we know what He says to do, and we knowingly choose to ignore it, it is counted as sin unto us. And when we sin willfully after already receiving the knowledge of the truth, we no longer have a sacrifice for those sins. Because we have made an conscientious choice to disobey Him.
Ivrim (Hebrews) 10:26
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins…
Scripture says to note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine, and to avoid those individuals. Because they do not seek to please Elohim, but to serve their own belly. And those individuals are guilty of leading astray the simple with smooth words and flattering speech. And those who work against Him scatter His people abroad.
Mattityahu (Matthew) 12:30
30 “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.”Romim (Romans) 16:17-18
17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
18 For those who are such do not serve our Master Yeshua HaMashiach, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.
Prayer requests:
We ask that sisters would please pray fervently for the men to enter into Yeshua’s program, and provide local leadership.
We ask for the brothers to please comment on what it would take for YOU to enter Yeshua’s program TODAY, and provide or support local leadership, so you and your family can do all He says, and get a good Judgment.
Also, please keep the ministry and the Kingdom work in prayer, always.
Thessaloniqim Bet (2 Thessalonians) 3:1-2
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of Yahweh may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
Shalom.
