THANK YOU! MAY YAHWEH BLESS YOU!

1. For those who are supporting, please accept my sincere thanks.
2. At least for now, Moises is back on full time. That means we can keep the website and videos going.
3. Herta is also back on staff, so we can help orient the next generation of Josephite leadership as we prepare to reunify with Judah
in the next 2-3 generations.

STILL NEED YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT:

1. Support is still low for the Spanish Branch, so Mihael is back to “making tents” (and in addition to his family responsibilities, he only has time to publish something every other week).
2. Mission work in Spanish is at half-speed.
3. Moisés says: “Latinos think everything should be free.” (“False Garden of Eden”?)
4. We were always supposed to WORK in the Garden! (Active!)

I asked Mihael about Moises’ comment (that Latinos think everything should be free), and his response was:
They think “everything (should be) free”, like in Socialism. I suppose they think that everything is a question of a “magic blessing”, without effort.
(Mysticism.)

Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) 5:10
10  He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

(What we need is production without greed!)

PRAYER REQUEST for FRANCOPHONIE!

1. French branch opening for Tree of Joseph.
2. They want to tithe, but they want to call it “heartfelt donations” because that is what they see in the Brit Chadasha, so they want to start as ToJ!
3. They are young in Hebrew Roots, but they want to start with the parashiot (and grow from there).
4. Please pray that Yahweh will bless and grow the French branch!

PRAYER REQUEST for LANGUAGES!

1. “Prayer warriors”, we need your prayers for true dedicated servant-leaders in all languages!
2. Five Precepts of Acts 15 (No idolatry, no sexual immorality, no unclean or strangled meats, and no blood. Help build Yeshua’s unified living body).
3. (Regarding idolatry) no Jezebel / Ahav “out of order” issues, no moon or sun worship, no selfish ambitions, no adding or Talmudic thought, just a sincere desire to serve.

1. For those who are new, several people asked me to switch to video, and give them a complete teaching series incorporating everything I know about Scripture (just push “play” and absorb).
2. However, MOST of Ephraim continues eating (hearing) only (“Feed me for free!”).
3. MOST of Orthodox Judah no social media (60%)!
4. We have an important video series after this, and then I need to return to writing, oriented to Judah first.

PRAYER REQUEST for BIRKHAT HAMINIM VIDEOS:

1. For those who are new, Judah prays for our deaths 3 times each weekday.
2. Chabad literally has plans to wipe us out!
3. We want to document everything, and Moises will do the advanced editing (time delay).
4. After this video series, we are reorienting toward Judah. (I get asked why a lot.)

Letter writer 1: Is outreach to Judah is doomed to fail?

Shalom NI. I truly appreciate you answering my questions from last week in this week’s post. I now understand what it is you’re asking of us. And there’s certainly a lot to unpack in that ask of helping Nazarene Israel build Yeshua’s Kingdom. I get the support and involvement aspects. And I, for the most part, agree with all that you put forth in this discussion.

I feel the burden that Yah is placing on you. And I realize that only you can truly understand what that burden looks and feels like. Thank you for being transparent with us. But please bear with me in my transparency towards you. I’ve always believed that any outreach that’s focused on Judah is doomed to failure. Thank you for being transparent with us. But please bear with me in my transparency towards you.

We see in Shaul’s writings how frustrated he was with his brother Judah’s lackluster response to the preaching and teaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom, while his teaching and preaching of the Gospel resonated more with the non-Jews of his time. Thank you for being transparent with us. But please bear with me in my transparency towards you.

Ma’asei (Acts) 13:42-43
42  So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43  Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Shaul and Bar Naba, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the favor of Elohim.

Ma’asei (Acts) 13:1
1  Now in the ecclesia that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Bar Naba, Shimeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Shaul.

Ma’asei (Acts) 13:2-3
2  As they ministered to Yahweh and fasted, the Set-apart Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Bar Naba and Shaul for the work to which I have called them.”
3  Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.

Ma’asei (Acts) 13:14-15
14  But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15  And after the reading of the Torah and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.”

Ma’asei (Acts) 13:46 [Antioch in Pisidia]
46 Then Shaul and Bar Naba grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of Elohim should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

Ma’asei (Acts) 13:51-52
51  But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52  And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Set-apart Spirit.

Ma’asei (Acts) 14:1
1  Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks [Hellenistic Jews or Gentiles?] believed.

Ma’asei (Acts) 16:1
1 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek [Hellenistic Jew or Gentile?].

Ma’asei (Acts) 16:12-13
12  and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.
13  And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.

Ma’asei (Acts) 17:1, 4
1  Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews…
4  And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks [Hellenists], and not a few of the leading [Jewish] women, joined Shaul and Silas.

(“Devout” Greeks = Reform)

Ma’asei (Acts) 17:10-12
10  Then the brethren immediately sent Shaul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11  These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
12  Therefore many of them [i.e., Berean Jews] believed…

Ma’asei (Acts) 18:1-2
1 After these things Shaul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.
2  And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla…

Ma’asei (Acts) 18:4
4  And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks [Hellenists or Gentiles].

Ma’asei (Acts) 18:8
8  Then Crispus, the [Jewish] ruler of the synagogue, believed on Yahweh with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were immersed.

(Do you think maybe the ruler of the synagogue was Jewish?)

Ma’asei (Acts) 18:19-21
19  And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20  When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent,
21  but took leave of them, saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem….”

Ma’asei (Acts) 18:24
24  Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

Ma’asei (Acts) 19:1
1  And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Shaul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples…

Ma’asei (Acts) 19:10
10  And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Adon Yeshua, both Jews and Greeks.

Ma’asei (Acts) 21:20
20  And when they heard it, they glorified Yahweh. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Torah.”

You’ve spent a great amount of time telling us that Judah wants Ephraim/ Yosef dead, so to speak. Thank you for being transparent with us. But please bear with me in my transparency towards you.

For the apostates let there be no hope, and uproot the kingdom of arrogance speedily and in our days. May the Nazarenes and the sectarians (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.
[Birkhat HaMinim (Article 12, Weekday Amidah)]

Additionally, you’ve also told us how Judah has threatened your life for doing the work of the Gospel. All of which is terrible in my mind. So, when you say that NI’s new focus will be on Judah, I’m not understanding why NI is going to continue to subject themselves to something – that being bringing Judah on board with the True Faith once delivered… Thank you for being transparent with us. But please bear with me in my transparency towards you.

Zekaryah (Zechariah) 12:10
10  “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of favor and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

Romim (Romans) 11:1-2
1  I say then, has Elohim cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2  Elohim has not cast away His people whom He foreknew….

Romim (Romans) 11:11-12
11  I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.
12  Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness?

Romim (Romans) 11:13-15
13  For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
14  if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
15  For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

Romim (Romans) 11:16-17
16  For if the firstfruit is set-apart, the lump is also set-apart; and if the root is set-apart, so are the branches.

Romim (Romans) 11:16-17
16  For if the firstfruit is set-apart, the lump is also set-apart; and if the root is [Jewish], so are the branches.

Romim (Romans) 11:17-18
17  And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
18  do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the [Jewish] root, but the [Jewish] root
supports you.

…with the very real likelihood that you will only have a repeat of the ministry sabotage and death threats you experienced in the past. It seems to me, beloved, that Judah’s eyes being opened and hearts being fully circumcised will come only when Yeshua returns. That it is Yah who can change the stubborn heart of Judah.

Letter Writer #1
… Now, that’s not to say that we shouldn’t try to reach out to Judah. But I fear that for us to put our whole purpose into bringing the true Faith once delivered to Judah is to risk failure and waste the short time Yeshua has given us to do the work He’s blessed us to do. But if this is truly what Yeshua has laid on your heart to do, who are we to oppose or doubt that calling?

Romim (Romans) 1:16
16  For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Mashiach, for it is the power of Elohim to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

Romim (Romans) 2:9-10
9  …tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;
10  but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Letter Writer #1
… Lastly, you asked us to express what it would take for us to come alongside you and engage in the work of the Gospel (my words) through NI.

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 saints.

Letter Writer #1
… For me, it’s somewhat complicated. I have an online ministry and have been in that ministry for a number of years. I’m also engaged in a number of writing and speaking projects, and working with a non-profit in Africa. So, frankly speaking, I doubt there’s any room for someone like me in NI.

(Begging off from the wedding feast.)

Letter Writer #1
… I’ve gone over the contents of NI’s website and the stated conditions for becoming a member of NI. I truly see the need for me to be under an apostolic organization and government like NI. But NI’s conditions for membership are all (NI) or nothing. And I can respect that.

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 saints.

… That being said, I will continue to support NI with offerings and check in on you as you post content to YouTube. If all that I can get from NI is the occasional postings, the joy that comes with supporting NI in part, and so forth, I will be content with that for the time being. I love you very much NI. And I will indeed continue to pray for NI’s ministry successes moving forward. Warm blessings and peace unto you.

Luqa (Luke) 6:46
46  “But why do you call Me ‘Adon, Adon,’ and not do the things which I say?”

Romim (Romans) 16:26
26  but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting Elohim, for obedience to the faith—

Romim (Romans) 1:5
5  Through Him we have received favor and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name…

Kepha Aleph (1 Peter) 1:1-2
1  Kepha, an apostle of Yeshua HaMashiach, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2  elect according to the foreknowledge of Elohim the Father, in set-apartness of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua HaMashiach: Favor to you and peace be multiplied.

Letter Writer Number #2:

“Dear Norman,
Because I belong to the group of disciples who study your programs to the end every week, I would also be so polite as to answer your question [as to how to get Ephraim to enter into Yeshua’s program]… You asked which programming concept appeals most to us as followers. Your target audience is: Joseph/Ephraim and the Orthodox part of Judah (13%); You usually address the brothers; You address experts at a university level; This leaves a small target audience….

(Norman’s target audience is disciples who want a good judgment.)

Writer 2
People unfamiliar with tribal doctrine, women, and ordinary people are more likely to drop out. Personally, I have found your studies of 21 years to be substantive and wise. Your conceptual thinking is very structured and 100% biblical. I praise YHWH for using you to equip the saints (Ef.4:12). You are very good at it. My compliments, respect, and thanks.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 4:12-13
12  for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Mashiach,
13  till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Mashiach….

Writer 2:
The format: first the Torah, then the Prophets, and then the New Testament is a very strong concept. This prevents you from improvising. In my opinion, improvising is the downside of your performance and the recordings. When you address questions or comments from followers, a narrowness comes over you. You are then less pastoral and empathetic, and too much of a teacher. Here we see again that a strong point also has a downside.

TimaTheus Bet (2 Timothy) 4:2
2  Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Thessaloniquim Aleph (1 Thessalonians) 4:1
1  Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Adon Yeshua that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please Elohim;

Writer 2:
My response to your question on the broadcast is: Keep giving long studies for the advanced students, stick to your concept: Torah, Prophets, and the New Testament. Don’t improvise, and finally: You are loved by Heavenly Father and you are doing a very good work.
Blessings,

Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 33:30
30  “As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from Yahweh…’

Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 33:31
31  So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain…

Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 33:32
32  “Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.

Hitgalut (Revelation) 3:16
16  “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”

Supporting Brother (#3): Advise

Brother Norman, you may have to just teach the truth as you understand it for the best of your ability (which I believe you always do) and somehow and I know it’s hard when we’re dealing with human beings. I don’t know how God does it. LOL. You may have to just ignore the complaints the criticisms and just know you put the truth out there and people can either accept it or not.

We should all be praying about it and asking the Spirit to help us understand and remove the leaven out of their lives so we can hear the truth, then eventually receive it. But don’t let it ruin your health. The stress alone is too much for anyone. Keep up the great work and maybe don’t spend so much time having to respond to the criticisms and comments that are critical.

People are they gonna believe it or they’re not and hopefully if they’re open minded and honest people, they’ll keep listening and learning, and eventually believe the truth in humility.

(Amein! But we need someone good to preach in English.)

Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:24-25
24  “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
25  “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 4:14-15
14  “…that we should no longer be [spiritual] children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
15  but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Mashiach—

Ephesim (Ephesians) 4:16
16  …from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

Luqa (Luke) 6:38
38 “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 32:21
21  “They [Judah] have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not Elohim; They have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols. But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.”

Hoshea (Hosea) 7:11
11  “Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense—They call to Egypt, They go to Assyria.”

Shalom.
