I was saved in 1982-3& did Evangelism-mostly to gentiles for 18 yrs.Back in 2000-the Lord sent me to Jerusalem-To be an Ambassador Of reconciliation with the Orthodox Jews.The Last few Yrs I was also instructed to exhort,rebuke & Correct False Doctrine in the Church.Unlike you-I am alone-old & Sick & have no website.Nevertheless-I continue on-as G-d has kept me from Death 6-8x already! The main Problem in the Church today is Zeal,Power& Numbers WITHOUT LOVE or RELATIONSHIP!Ministries Mass Mail hundreds of thousands of people who they do not know & have no relationship with & offer nothing in Return.They look out only for their Own Ministry Needs-& feel that they are Superior to the "MASSES"-breaking the Most Important Mitzvot! "Look out just for your Owen things-but also the Needs of others"- "Regard the Other person BETTER tham yourself".EVERYONE in Christ is called to be a Witness & preach the Gospel! Everyone has Some Ministry & Contribution to the Body! Large or small.The Church has become a Trendy-"Idols & Groupies" Church- which is Worldly! Divorced from Jewish Roots & Correct Doctrine,NOT taking acre of Older Women Laborers in Christ,Men NOT taking care of the Women, Christians NOT putting the Solitary in Families-NOT showing Love or Compassion to their Own-esp the Messianic Jews-who- if they are NOT famous-are sluffed off by EVERYONE! Having Contempt for those who lost EVERYTHING for Christ-& are labeled by the Church as either disobedient (Usually they are Obedient unto Death)- or have a Lack of Faith!!!!!!!!! The Church does NOT distribute to those in their Body-they do NOT break Bread in each others Houses (Millions of $$$ are spent on Huge idolatrous Bldgs- while older dying women are homeless (I knew one who died who attended a Rich Church in NYC who owned a Hotel with hundreds of rooms-she was NOT given even a Room-so that she would not die- she died in the Street/Park)!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another poor woman I knew who used to walk miles with bags of Clothing to bring to the poor & always volunteered for the Biggest Messianic Jewish Ministry in the World (I will leave it nameless)- was falsely accused of stealing a $1 Bottle of Soda from the After Service Noshes-who had given FREE SERVICE to that Ministry for yrs-& they knew she was dying of Cancer-homeless-penniless-alone-with No Family &hungry-with No Help!!!!!!!! The Lack of Love,Mercy & Compassion that I have eyewitnessed & experienced myself is so Despicable- I remain Wordless!!!!!! Being married & Secure-you might NOT notice it yourself? ALL women in the Body of Messiah-who have it better off-should be Ministering to those who have been cursed like Naomi-but have no "RUTHS" or Compensation in their lives & have been poured out as Drink Offerings & STILL continue to serve the Lord-I know many!!!!!!!!!!! I have lost rack of them because I don't know where they are Living. Y'shua always took care of the Women Laborers & so did the other Men Apostles.It is an Epidemic in the If you don't own a Computer-don't have a Website-or Radio or TV Program you get Trampled on in the Body of Messiah??? I now Write to you from a Sr Home Bldg Computer. ALL of the Older Women that I know that are suffering are NOT backslidden- they have been called to be LOWLY like Yeshua! They are the Ones who schlepped Food & Clothing & even -at times-$$$-to other poor women or Laborers in Yeshua & have continuously been spat on & disrespected & unappreciated in the ??Body of the Messiah???? They are also the same ones- back in 2000-that had Dreams & Visions of themselves in their Glorified Bodies-or dressed as BRIDES of Messiah!!!!!!!!!!! In the Church's ZEAL to Preach the Gospel- they have fallen away from the Very Principals-Lifestyle-Doctrine & LOVE & AFFECTION of one to another! That is why the World is NOT attracted to the "CHURCH"- because it has become a House of Merchandise.We were taught that the World would Know us-BY the LOVE we had for one another! "PURE RELIGION that is Undefiled before G-d=is to Visit the fatherless & Widows in their Affliction"--Plead the Case of the Fatherless & Widows! The Church in the USA are deluded into thinking that only in India or Africa or Israel- are the Fatherless & widows-HELLO!!!!!!!!! They are RIGHT in your own Congregations!!!!!!!! Shepherds are NOT laying down their Lives for their Sheep- they expect the Sheep- to lay down their Lives for the Shepherd!!!!!!! & get NOTHING back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Over half the Church are probably Women that are alone-some-single parents of just completely alone.They exist to the Ministry Heads as simply-TITHE contributors or Free Volunteers!!!!!!!!!! Many People's LOVE have waxed COLD-OY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Christian and have been wanting more of the Lord. I have had a yearning to study the Torah and now I understand! There has been so much that has happened (almost loosing my life) that has led me to this intersection of divine wisdom and insight which I pray will lead and direct my path in Jesus the Messiah! I want to be of service in these last days! I came across this ministry (not by accident) and know in my spirit that it is true. I live because of HIM!

Wow, I was blown away. I too had been given an understanding of the significance of the appearance of Moses and Elijah with Yeshua at the Mount of Transfiguration, and the apparent exasperation with the disciples who wished to build two tabernacles. Why the exacerbation? They should have understood that each were manifestations of the same Being. To build 2 tabernacles is to miss the point! I also spend much (perhaps too much!) time thinking about and praying for knowledge of Joseph. I disagree with your view that Joseph represents the gentile converts. Joseph, or Ephraim is used to refer to the entire Northern Kingdom, just as you sang in your rendition of Ezekial 37. (Which chillingly is engraved at the Holocaust Museum, Yad VaShem in Jerusalem!) There is an often overlooked "contradiction" in the Gospels that can be cleared up with an understanding of Joseph. Yeshua appears to be very reluctant to bless non-Jews, saying He has come this time ONLY for the Lost Sheep Of Israel. But then He send His disciples out to the four corners of the world. This is contradictory unless Israel is spread through the four corners already. Obviously this was before the Jewish Diaspora began by the Roman destruction of Jerusalem. You surely know that upon Solomon's death Jeroboam was told by a Prophet to secede and take ten tribes with him, but for David's sake Rehoboam, (Solomon's heir) will be left with one (in addition to the obvious Judah;i.e. Benjamin). From that point on "Israel" or "Ephraim", Shehem", "Samaria", or" Joseph", refer to the Northern Kingdom and "Judah" or "Jerusalem" to the Southern. The Northern Kingdom was POWERFUL in worldly ways, but fell into spiritual apostasy and were banished from the Land by Assyria. Assyria replaced them with other conquered peoples who took the name of the region, Samaria and became the Samaritans. Assyria in turn was dispersed by the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom. Assyria with the Ten Tribes in its midst were scattered in the world. Some of Israelites retained some internal cohesiveness despite forgetting their origins, while others were just individuals amongst others. BUt as you cite Ezekial 37 Ephraim was NOT forgotten by YHVH. And when the Disciples brought the Gospels and Rome became "Christian" they did serve their purpose by bringing the Gospels and the attached Torah to the swirling multitudes that were all migrating from Central Asia into Europe. (Assyria, in the northern Mesopotamian region is a few days walk from Scythia. And" Scythia" may be linguistically cognate with "Assyria". Nevertheless, as it says, The Sheep recognizes the voice of their good shepherd! Ephraim and the other perhaps atomized individuals of Israelite ancestry were those who quickly took hold of the Word, they were like the good soil, well watered, and awaiting the seed. Through Yeshua the Lost Sheep Of Israel were re-introduced to YHVH, and the entire Torah and Tanaah. Ephraim and Menasseh had been promised blessings that had yet to be fulfilled when they were snatched away by Assyria. But, in America and Britain, the Younger brother Ephraim indeed became Covenant Of States. Despite the confusion sown by the term "British Commonwealth", and the contortions required to make this the elder fit with being the younger; The United States of America is called in the state of Israel: אַרְצוֹת הַבְּרִית . Artzot HaB'rit: Covenant Of States! Several nations have their roots in the ten tribes of Israel. But individuals are saved independent of national Salvation. Yeshua called to His Flock and we recognize His voice. The Gentiles too have an inheritance. Just as Yeshua allowed that even those not born Natural israelites could gather the crumbs, Paul explicitly recognized them as being ingrafted into Israel. But, as which Tribe? I do not know. But I think it is Benjamin! Saul the first King was of Benjamin. But his heir Jonathan gave his armor and his shield and his sword to David. In Judges, there is the strange story of Benjamin fighting a war against the rest of Israel. And Israel took oaths forbidding marriage of their daughters with any Benjaminite men. Yet, an exception was found and a way was contrived to bring Benjamin back through marriage into israel! Is this not what Yeshua's sacrifice has accomplished for Gentiles. The analogy: Gentile Converts: Israel as Jonathan : David.

****************************************************************************************Hello Brian, thanks for the words of encouragement brother! I think that you may have misunderstood what I meant about Joseph. Joseph married a Gentile woman, and so their offspring (Manasseh & Ephraim) merely thought that they were Gentiles because of their culture and upbringing in Egypt. But in reality, they always had Hebrew Blood because of their Father. Joseph is a prophetic "type" of Messiah, whereas, Manasseh & Ephraim are a prophetic "type" of the offspring of Messiah and his non-Jewish Bride (the Christian Church) who were formerly Gentiles. Likewise, there are many DNA carriers of the 10 Northern Tribes who do not realize that they are Israelites until the Heavenly Father places his name (YHWH) on them by the Holy Spirit calling them. Then, they will realize that they are "Israel." Also, Gentiles may join them by virtue of their faith in Messiah, and they are called "companions" (Ezekiel 37:16-17). Either way, Gentiles by nature and Israelites by nature all become "one stick" in the hand of YHWH. Ephraim is a "type" of those 10 Northern Tribes who are Israelites in the nations who lost their identity with Torah and the Covenants of promise. Those who are Gentiles may join Ephraim and collectively, they all fall under Ephraim's Tribal Leadership. Those who are raised as Jews are Judah. I never said that Joseph represents Gentiles. What I meant to convey is that Joseph's Tribe (through Ephraim) embodies those gentiles who are grafted into Israel, and they are under his Tribal Leadership. But Joseph is the Double Portion Inheritor, so he ultimately inherits both House of Israel because he is a "type" of Messiah. This means that Joseph is the tribe that embodies both Houses as far as evangelism goes. But when they become "one stick" in the Millennium under Yahu'shua Messiah, they will all come under the scepter of Judah (the Lawgiver).

Hello. I was introduced to you on facebook, when I was referred to one of your articles there. At the time I was not aware of your ministry. But I believe the Holy Spirit has been teaching me in tandem and separately with most of your teachings here on your website.

Shalom. This is a very good website. We enjoyed a lot by reading many articles in it.
