Ephraim
the strangers, outcasts, Aliens
and gentiles
This is a
mystery a lot of Israelites don’t understand…a lot of them are stumbling on
this topic and it has to be cleared up, in terms of who the gentiles actually
are in the new testament.
You’re a stranger when you are not in your own land, we were strangers in Egypt that’s not our land. we are strangers now, America is not our land; our original land is Jerusalem. The land the most high chose for us forever.
Lev 25:35 And if thy brother be
waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a
stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
Often times Israel would go into poverty and lose their land and his brother would allow him to come and stay on his land and inheritance. For example, one brother is levi and the other is Judah, levi loses his land and would come to stay on Judah’s land as a stranger on Judah’s land allotted to him, levi is a stranger or a sojourner. So when you read about love the stranger in the scriptures its not talking about the other nations, its talking about your own brother a fellow Israelite whose living in your land and who’s estranged from his own land (in decay) which means poverty.
Lev 25:36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear
thy God; that
thy brother may live with thee.
He has to
work for his brother Judah on his land, but while levi’s there Judah could not
extort him with interest and other ridiculous fees.
Verses
(44-46) below are talking about the actual heathen strangers (the other
nations) that’s their whole purpose on earth is to be our slaves and servants
forever not our friends.
Lev 25:44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt
have, shall
be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and
bondmaids.
Lev 25:45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you,
of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat
in your land: and they shall be your possession.
Lev 25:46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children
after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever:
but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over
another with rigour.
Let’s
jump into the history now, about Judah and Ephraim and how it all began, Solomon
sinned by marrying heathen women, and because of that sin the most high said
“I’m going to strip the kingdom from you. But not in your time but in your
son’s time” his son’s name was Rehoboam. The most high stripped the kingdom
from Solomon and gave 10 tribes (n. kingdom) to his servant Jeroboam the son of
Nebat and the other 3 tribes (s. kingdom) went to Solomon’s son Rehoboam.
1Ki 11:34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his
hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my
servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my
statutes:
1Ki 11:35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and
will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. (prophet Ahijah speaking)
In
this chapter Rehoboam becomes king and he’s and idiot, rather than receive
counsel from the elders of his father, to keep the kingdom united he listens to
his dumb friends that he grew up with, they said, “listen be harder on them
than Solomon was.” Because Solomon was hard on Israel because of his heathen
wives. increasing taxes, having them build all kinds of groves, idols and
chapels for these heathen women so he put hard labor on the children of Israel.
So Israel requested to Rehoboam “listen, remove the hard labor and taxes from
us and we’ll stay with you forever.” Rehoboam said, “nah, I’m going to be
harder on you and worse than my father was!” he listened to his dumb friends.
1Ki 12:15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for
the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD
spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son
of Nebat.
Its
telling you here that Rehoboam didn’t listen to wise counsel, cause it was
already prophesied through Ahijah that Jeroboam would get 10 tribes. So
Rehoboam was predestined to make the wrong decision.
**1Ki 12:16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not
unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David?
neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine
own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
Israel
said basically in this verse “we gone do us and ya’ll do you!” this is where
both kingdoms split into two halves.
1Ki 12:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David
unto this day.
There
was always a beef between Israel and Judah until this present day
1Ki 12:23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah,
and unto all
the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people,
saying,
So
Judah and Benjamin remained with the house of David, that’s two tribes right
there.
1Ki 12:24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight
against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house;
for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD,
and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
Rehoboam
was going to go up and try to reunite the kingdoms by warring, the most high
said, “don’t do that leave em’ alone. Because I’m behind this split leave em’
alone!” the most high said this thing is from me, the prophets understood this.
Zec 11:14 Then I cut
asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood
between Judah and Israel.
When
it was time to go to Jerusalem and worship the most high as he had ordained
Jeroboam was afraid for his life and got simple and turned to idolatry and
caused the people to sin.
1Ki 12:27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the
LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their
lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to
Rehoboam king of Judah.
1Ki 12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of
gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to
Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the
land of Egypt.
1Ki 12:29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he
in Dan.
1Ki 12:30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to
worship before the one, even unto Dan.
1Ki 12:31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of
the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. (levi was fired)
2Ch 11:14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and
came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast
them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD: (jeroboam set up
base men & idols)
2Ch 11:15 And he ordained him priests for the high places,
and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
Now
the southern kingdom (Judah=Jews) consists of three tribes Judah, Benjamin
& Levi.
There
was a small remnant of the northern kingdom that was not following jeroboam’s
orders and kept the laws and followed the most high. You read about them in
tobit, tobit was one of these guys that went up there to worship in Jerusalem,
he’s a prime example.
2Ch 11:16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as
set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice
unto the LORD God of their fathers.
The
northern kingdom split in half, levi left the northern kingdom entirely and
went to Judah, you had the southern kingdom who was referred to as Judah or in
the new testament they’re referred to as Jews their abbreviated term.
2Ki 15:27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah
Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and
reigned twenty years.
Pekah
was the devil the bible speaks of, and Azariah was no different either, he
reigned over Samaria the capital of the northern kingdom (Ephraim) the northern
kingdom was referred to as Samaritans because they were citizens of Samaria.
Samaria and Ephraim are synonymous.
2Ki 15:28 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the
LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel to sin.
2Ki 15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser (pol iii) king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and
Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee,
all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
Understand;
the northern kingdom was still in the land when you go into the history where
Nebuchadnezzar came against Judah and put us in captivity, it was in sections.
He would take like thousands here and years will go by and then he would come
again and take thousands here and more left again. Same thing with Ephraim,
Tiglathpileser would take some of Ephraim and some would be left behind and
this would continue over the years. Tiglathpileser came and conquered the
northern kingdom because of their wickedness.
2Ki 15:37 In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin
the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah
So
in the days of Judah and Ephraim: you had Syria and you had Ephraim they got
together cause they were evil as hell and got together to conquer Judah in
those days.
2Ki 15:38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with
his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his
stead.
During
ahaz’s reign this is what took place, ahaz was also a weak wicked coward. There
was a time where the most high sent Ephraim and Syria against Judah, during
ahaz’s reign. During ahaz’s reign Pekah and Rezin a Syrian king came against
the southern kingdom because ahaz was a weak wicked negro.
Isa 7:1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham,
the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the
son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it,
but could not prevail against it.
Could
not prevail against it because the most high did not want Judah to be conquered
Isa 7:2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is
confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his
people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
Syria
and Ephraim formed an alliance, ahaz being the wicked negro he was got shook. His
heart was moved and he put the spirit of fear on everybody. That’s why we talk
about that fear spirit, it spread like a wild fire.
Isa 7:3 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz,
thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in
the highway of the fuller's field;
The Most High said to Isaiah take your son and go talk to Ahaz at the upper springs,
he’s putting spirits on people.
Isa 7:4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not,
neither
be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands (these
troublemakers), for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the
son of Remaliah (Pekah).
Isa 7:5 Because Syria (Rezin), Ephraim (Pekah), and the son of Remaliah,
have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
Isa 7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a
breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of
Tabeal:
They
were going to conquer Judah, they were going to set up their own king for all
of them to worship at the same time and the son of Tabeal.
Isa 7:7 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall
it come to pass.
God
said its not going to happen, this happens today a lot of brothers of Israel
are enthralled in these conspiracy theories, “they’re going to put us in camps!
And they’re going to turn us into robots!” that’s madness, its dumb madness
that fearful spirit that’s spread amongst Israel, afraid of confederacies and
conspiracies, the same spirit we were dealing with back in the day.
Isa 7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus (capital of Syria or Aram), and
the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years (65)
shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
Isaiah
prophesied that Ephraim would be a completely annihilated kingdom-no more. That
land won’t even be called Ephraim anymore, it’s gone be broken and they will
not be a people (strangers, aliens, heathen, gentiles) like the other nations outside
Israel.
Isa 7:9 And the head (capital) of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head
of Samaria is Remaliah's son (Pekah). If ye will not believe, surely ye shall
not be established (you will not succeed). If ahaz believes the prophecy he’ll be
alright
2Ki 15:30 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against
Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his
stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
See
that the most high said it would not be established, the conspiracy and
confederacy between Pekah and Rezin because later on Hoshea the son of Elah
made a conspiracy against Pekah and conquered Remaliah and killed him and
reigned in his stead. So that alliance was destroyed.
Remember,
Hoshea son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah, conquered him and took his
place as king over Ephraim.
2Ki 17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea
the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
Cause
he had Pekah killed
2Ki 17:2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD (just like Pekah
did), but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
2Ki 17:3 Against him came up Shalmaneser
(the 5th)
king of Assyria (son
of Tiglathpileser
III);
and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
2Ki 17:4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for
he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king
of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him
up, and bound him in prison.
So
Hoshea was trying to be slick and do a side deal with the king of Egypt while
he was being a slave or servant to Syria. He was trying to move himself from
being beneath Syria and going to Egypt. We always had faith in Egypt, for years
Israel loved Egypt
2Ki 17:5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land,
and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. (blocked off food & water supply)
Out
of anger Shalmaneser V came up through all the land of Samaria, remember his
father Tiglathpileser III came against Ephraim, now his son comes and finishes
the job.
2Ki 17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took
Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor
by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
Hoshea
took northern kingdom and put them in lands they had power over. Prophecy
coming to pass when it said that Ephraim would not be a people
2Ki 17:24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and
from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath (central Syria), and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the
children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the
cities thereof.
They
were broken and they were not a people, he took Ephraim out of their land and
put heathen there instead. He put Ethiopians in there, that’s those Falasha
Jews today, those so-called Ethiopian Jews the ones that say they’re Dan.
That’s them right here that's how they have knowledge of Israel. The heathen put
them in the land.
2Ki 17:25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there,
that they feared not
the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
2Ki 17:26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The
nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God
of the land: therefore he hath sent
lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner
of the God of the land.
2 esd 3:36 Thou shalt find that Israel by
name hath kept thy precepts; but not the heathen.
2Ki 17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry
thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and
dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
Bring
one of those low based men jeroboam set up back in the day to teach them how to
follow the god of the land.
2Ki 17:28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away
from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the
LORD.
Though
they were taught, the heathen kept not the law of the land
2Ki 17:29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the
high places which the Samaritans had made,
every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
2Ki 17:32 So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of
them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the
houses of the high places.
The
heathen that replaced Ephraim were doing the same wickedness as they were doing.
Serving two gods at one time the same thing Ephraim was put out for.
2Ki 17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods (living in the
land unjustly), after the manner of the nations whom they carried
away from thence.
2Ki 17:34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the
LORD (they just wanted
the land), neither do they after
their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the
children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
2 esd 3:36 Thou shalt find that Israel by name hath kept thy
precepts; but not the heathen.
The
most high never gave the heathen the law, The wicked priests taught them enough
where they could remain in the land, But still serve their gods at the same
time. That’s all they did so don’t think they got the law so now they’re righteous,
no they remained wicked heathens in the land with a portion of understanding
and the majority of their own understanding serving their gods.
Example
of this today Amalek (fake Jews in the land of Israel today) they have one of
the largest tel aviv LGBT gay parades in the world in god’s holy land.
2Ki 17:23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his
servants the prophets (they’d be broken and not a people). So was
Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
northern kingdom was carried away unto
other lands Syria had power over; the Israelites was scattered abroad until
this day. The prophets Isaiah said it and hosea says it. Isaiah says it will be
broken as a people and hosea says the exact same thing in a different way.
Hos 1:1 The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea (was a prophet of
Ephraim), the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz,
and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of
Joash (descendant
of Jehu), king of Israel.
Jehu
is the one the most high sent to kill all of Ahab’s descendants off the earth.
Ahab was the husband of Jezebel. Jehu killed all of his lineage he had 70 sons
Jehu killed all of them.
Hos 1:2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the
LORD said to Hosea, Go,
take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath
committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD
(they were following idolatry, the most high is the
husband of Israel when you go and serve other gods you’re whoring yourself.
That’s spiritual fornication, idolatry you wicked men of Israel.) There are some
wicked Israelite groups out there that use this verse (hos 1:2) to justify the
hiring or laying with prostitutes. That’s not what this verse is talking about.
Hos 1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which
conceived, and bare him a son.
She
(gomer) was wicked as hell she was following that example, he took a daughter
of those whoredoms, he wasn’t part of it but his people Ephraim was; the
majority of them was. That’s why I told you in 2 chronicles 11 that some of
Ephraim a remnant would go back and serve the lord, back in 2 chron 11:16 and
he was one of them.
Hos 1:4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel (seed of Israel);
for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house
of Jehu (the
most high is going to bring forth judgment upon the house of Jehu),
and will
cause to cease (to end, to stop,
to break) the kingdom of the house of Israel (that
it be not a people).
Jeroboam
the son of Joash was Jehu’s descendant, he was following the same example as
the other kings before him, idolatry like Jeroboam son of Nebat was doing.
Hos 1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel
in the valley of Jezreel.
They
will be broken, its saying the same thing right here, you know he will break
the strength of Ephraim.
Hos 1:6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said
unto him, Call her name Loruhamah (no mercy): for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel;
but I will utterly take
them away (break them that they be not a people, he’s saying it
again).
Her
son Jezreel symbolized the breaking (or judgment) of Israel, the daughter’s
name is Loruhamah (no mercy) cause the most high would have no mercy upon
Israel. These children are being used as signs against Israel they’re being
used as similitudes or parables against us, because the most high would use the
prophets as signs of judgment against us, like he had Isaiah walking around
butt naked for years because Israel was going to go into slavery butt
naked and barefoot into Egypt and Syria.
Its not lawful to walk around butt naked. He told Ezekiel to eat dung, your
people are going to eat defiled food in lands they are carried away scattered
and captive in. its not lawful to eat dung, so if gomer was a whore it makes no
difference cause the most high is using her children as signs against Israel.
Ezekiel had to eat dung for a year, the most high gave him an option he says
eat human dung or cow dung (Eze 4:12-15).
Hos 1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah (for David’s sake),
and will save them by the
LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by
battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Ephraim
and Assyria could not go against Judah and prevail in those days cause the most
high had mercy on them, unlike Ephraim, Loruhamah no mercy for them. Because
the most high sent the Assyrians against Ephraim, he sent Tiglathpileser (pol iii)
king of Assyria against them and he had them kill each other amongst themselves,
he had Eli kill Pekah…that conspiracy and confederacy was over. So Judah had to
fight no one, the most high says, “step back I got this.” The most high stepped
in and had the heathen conquer us instead and The northern kingdom instead
along with Assyria and Rezin.
Hos 1:8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah (about 3 yrs. old), she
conceived, and bare a son.
Hos 1:9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people,
and I
will not be your God.
At
this point, Ephraim falls in the category of the other nations and become
strangers, heathen or gentiles that are not the most high’s people. You will
not be Israel no more, “you will not be called my people no more.” Says the
most high. Now we know why they were called something else in the new
testament. Let’s look at 2 chron 30:1 and let’s see what they were called…
2Ch 30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote
letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the
LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
Now
king Hezekiah was king at this time right, now who was prophet over Ephraim at
this time? Hosea, we just read it. We just read that whole thing. Stop serving
the idols in your land an come up here to worship, stop. Hezekiah was a
righteous king unlike his wicked father ahaz.
2Ch 30:2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all
the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
2Ch 30:3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the
priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people
gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
So
there they were allowed two times to keep the Passover, if they missed the first one
because the priests weren’t prepared, they were given a second chance to do it,
to keep the Passover.
2Ch 30:4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
2Ch 30:5 So they established a decree to make proclamation
throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan (that’s northern kingdom, where idols were
placed by jeroboam), that they should come to keep the passover unto
the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem (unlike what jeroboam said to do): for they had
not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written (because of jeroboam son of Nebat-2 chron
11).
2Ch 30:6 So the posts (we had mailmen at this time, postal workers
& all of that) went with the letters from the king and his
princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of
the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again (repent!) unto the LORD God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped
out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Why
did it say “the remnant of you”? Tiglathpileser III came and conquered Ephraim
and some escaped. So the ones that were left over of Ephraim king Hezekiah invited them to come and
worship at Jerusalem.
2Ch 30:7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your
brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who
therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
Because
three years after this Shalmaneser comes and takes them all out the land.
2Ch 30:10 So the posts passed from city to city through the
country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to
scorn, and mocked them.
They
laughed and mocked saying, “man we ain’t going nowhere, go on with that! Hahaha
they talkin bout worshipin at Jerusalem, I ain’t doin that!” they laughed
Hezekiah to scorn.
2Ch 30:11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun
humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
Nevertheless,
amidst the mockery Some went, a small remnant of them said, “you know what we
should go.” they humbled down and went up to worship.
2Ch 30:18 For
a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and
Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise
than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good
LORD pardon every one
There
was a cleansing ritual that had to be done before partaking in the Passover meal, you had to be clean, northern kingdom were amongst idols they were
uncircumcised but the most high pardoned that saying, “you know what, come keep
it anyway; ya’ll in the spirit come and keep it anyway.” It was pardoned as
we’re going to read…Hezekiah prayed to let It slide let them come up here.
2Ch 30:19 That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of
his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the
sanctuary.
Now
I want you to pay attention to what’s coming up next…
2Ch 30:25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and
the Levites, and all
the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in
Judah, rejoiced.
What
were they called when they came out of the land of Israel? “Strangers”
why were they called strangers? Because they were no longer a people the
most high said he wasn’t dealing with them no more and hosea prophesied that
already against them. The strangers of the northern kingdom rejoiced, they were
referred to as strangers, by this time they were called strangers by Judah
based on the prophesies of the prophets from Isaiah to hosea. Not a people, not
his people no more. So they were referred to as strangers at this point. Let’s
get Isaiah 56…Christianity Israelites love this one, trying to save “massa” all
the time. Remember
earlier, “those who come to seek the law” remember that verse…
Isa 56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man
that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth
his hand from doing any evil.
Isa 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined
himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his
people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Ok,
verse 3 “Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the
LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people”. What
is this going into? That’s Ephraim coming back; cause they were broken and were
not a people. They were separated from the most high at this point. Separated.
Isa 56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my
sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
When
you read history, Judah when they were under the Babylonian captivity they were
made eunuchs prophesying, Hezekiah’s descendants became eunuchs, when you read
about Hezekiah the most high says something about his descendants becoming
eunuchs…
Isa 39:5
Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
Isa 39:7
And of thy sons that
shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they
shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Dan 1:6
Now among these were of the
children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Dan 1:7
Unto whom the prince of
the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and
to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of
Abednego.
Isa 56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a
place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an
everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Let’s
concentrate on the term “within my walls”; let’s see if we’re going to have
heathen inside god’s walls… Christianity is a hell of a drug
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high
mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of
heaven from God,
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates
twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes
of the children of Israel:
Does
it say thirteen gates for the children of israel and the heathen nations?
Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on
the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
I
don’t see thirteen gates here, I don’t see a gate of access for the heathen
nations in this kingdom, do you? This is
basic math, 3x4=12 Not 3x4=13 you’re not going to find that in the bible. You
got to be a mentally retarded person to think 3x4=13. You will not find a gate
for the other nations. That’s called math you don’t have to go into the Greek
or Hebrew to figure that one out.
Isa 56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my
walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give
them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off (that’s Israel).
Remember
in hosea he says “ye are not my people!” they will not receive mercy and they
are not his people.
Isa 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to
the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants,
every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my
covenant;
Isa 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall
be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Isa 56:8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel
saith, Yet will I gather others to him (Ephraim), beside those that are gathered unto
him (Judah).
Why
are they called outcasts? Because the most high cast them off. That’s why
they’re called outcasts. Strangers, it’s the same term being used here.
Who
are those that are gathered unto him? Judah. Who are those that are not
gathered unto him? The northern kingdom this is not hard to understand Israel.
That’s the “all” people it’s not just for Judah but the northern kingdom as
well, all the people of Israel is what it’s going into. Not all the people of
everyone, this is not, you will not find democracy in this bible. I started off
this lesson saying Israel will be called strangers, let’s see if it changed in
the new testament
1Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers
scattered throughout Pontus,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Now,
let’s see who these strangers are that are scattered Bithynia, Pontus, Galatia,
Cappadocia, and Asia. If this meant everybody what was the reason for even
mentioning the word “scattered or strangers” he would have “brethren”. This is
referring to a specific people who are scattered, the outcasts of Israel.
1Pe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the
blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Who
are god’s elect according to the bible? Who are these strangers of the elect
according to the foreknowledge, which means the knowledge of god before they
were called the elect, let’s see where it was written afore time about god’s
elect
Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect,
I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not
known me.
So
now we know who the strangers are, the elect. Who are scattered abroad
according to the foreknowledge of the most high god. The same strangers in
Isaiah 56. This is like elementary school I don’t understand this; Israel we
have to learn to stop trying to be accepted of the other nations, that’s
Christianity and we have to root it out of Israel.
1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto
them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed (the wicked elders,
scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees), the same is made the head of the
corner (leader
of the nation),
1Pe 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence (the builders),
even to them which stumble at the word (Pharisees & scribes the builders), being
disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
They
were appointed to reject Christ, it was preordained for them to reject Christ
as well as some of y’all today until death comes—that’s the 2/3rds they’re
talking about.
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
“But
ye” he’s talking to the same people these same strangers are a chosen
generation…the scattered are a
royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people (read Deut 14:2 & 7:6)
Isaiah
7 said ye would be broken that ye were not a people. Hosea said ye are not my
people “Loammi” not my people and I will not be your god. But now you strangers
scattered are the people of god again. He said in hosea “Loruhamah” no mercy
for you, but now you have mercy through Christ’ sacrifice and reconciliation of
the two tribes began. Moses prophesied of this split thousands of years before.
The builders or leaders of Judah were the main ones spreading or teaching the
rejection of Christ
Deu 31:28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes,
and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven
and earth to record against them (against your leaders). (only Judah later on…in Christ’ time)
Deu 32:21 They (elders of Judah) have moved me to jealousy
with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities
(the
Pharisees): and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people
(the northern
kingdom); I will provoke them (elders of the s. kingdom) to anger with a
foolish nation (remnant
of the n. kingdom).
Elders
of Judah will be provoked to jealousy of the northern kingdom because the
northern kingdom will obtain a higher level of understanding than the southern
kingdom through Christ and both kingdoms will be divided amongst themselves. This
is not talking about Edom! It’s about our own people, which says “which are not
a people”
Isa 7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. (See also 1 peter 2:10)
Under
the old covenant the northern kingdom was condemned, under Moses idolatry was
not forgiven you got death for that, but under Christ they were granted
repentance back into the fold. That was the whole purpose of dividing the two kingdoms
in the first place. Because Ephraim was condemned based on their actions, Judah
had the priests, the temple they were
good. But the most high preordained “look I’m going to have Judah reject me,
that way they can kill my son and his blood can bring back the northern kingdom
and southern kingdom back together again.” That’s why the most high told
Rehoboam, “not to fight against them, this thing is from me. I broke the
brotherhood so that I may bring you back together through my son.” That’s the
whole purpose of the scriptures and the new testament. That’s the mystery that
a lot of Israelites do not understand.
1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the
people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
What
is peter talking about? Who have obtained mercy?
Hos 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth (I will have
mercy on her); and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained
mercy (talking
about Ephraim here); and I will say to them which were not my
people (Isa 7:8), Thou art my people;
and they shall say, Thou art my God.
they
were going to repent in Christ that’s how they were going to become his people
all over again. So if they weren’t his people what were they called? Strangers,
outcasts, gentiles, because those are not god’s people the strangers and
gentiles of the other nations.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse (Christ),
which shall stand for an ensign (leader) of the people; to it (the root of
Jesse) shall the Gentiles seek (they will seek Christ): and his
rest shall be glorious.
1
peter 2:9… out of darkness into his marvellous light
Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord
shall set his hand again the second time to recover
the remnant of his people (who were called gentiles because they were scattered in
these lands), which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and
from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath,
and from the islands of the sea.
Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations (they were called gentiles, now he calls them nations),
and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together (Isa 56:8) the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
that’s
the “all people” (Isa 56:9), he calls gentiles, nations, his people, outcasts,
the dispersed & the scattered its all the same thing.
Judah
called the northern kingdom strangers and gentiles based on the prophecies in
Isaiah and what hosea was saying and they called them what? Gentiles.
The
majority of the northern kingdom came to the Americas, but a remnant of them
stayed behind and were scattered throughout the eastern hemisphere.
Jhn 7:35 Then said the Jews (Judah-S. kingdom) among themselves, Whither
will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go
unto (teach) the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
(They’re
calling the dispersed gentiles in this verse.)
1Co 12:2
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried
away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
Jas 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
The
Dispersed of Judah and the outcasts, strangers, gentiles and the scattered
Israelites of the northern kingdom spoken of in Isaiah 11.
1
peter 2:9… out of darkness into his marvellous light…
Mat 4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum,
which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim (Christ visited
the northern kingdom Israelites):
Mat 4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,
Mat 4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim,
by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Mat 4:16 The people (Ephraim) which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region (the northern kingdom of idolatry) and shadow
of death (sin)
light (Christ
shows up) is sprung up. (…To it shall the gentiles seek in Isa 11:10)
Isa 9:1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as
was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the
land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by
the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations (or gentiles).
Isa 9:2 The people (Ephraim)
that walked in darkness (lawlessness) have seen a great light (Christ):
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death (sin), upon them(Ephraim)
hath the light shined (Christ came to teach them).
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Luk 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Luk 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the
dayspring from on high (Christ) hath visited us,
Luk 1:79 To give light(Christ) to them (Ephraim) that sit in darkness (lawlessness) and in the shadow
of death (sin), to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them,
saying, Go
not into the way of the Gentiles (N. Kingdom),
and into any city of the Samaritans (Ephraim) enter ye not:
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost
sheep (only
Judah at that
time) of the house of Israel. (Judah was lost because they (the leaders)
were rejecting Christ)
This
is why Christ gave that order in matt 10:5-6…
Zec 12:7 The LORD also shall save the tents of
Judah (Jews) first, that the
glory of the house of David (Benjamin & levi) and the glory of the inhabitants
of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
Who
was Christ preaching to first?
Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision (the S. kingdom & law keepers) for the truth of God, to confirm
the promises made unto the fathers:
Act 13:45 But when the Jews saw
the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things
which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
(Jew leaders started speaking lies against Paul
& the apostles)
Act 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you (the Jews):
but seeing ye put it from you (rejected Christ), and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life (Christ), lo, we turn to the Gentiles (n. kingdom)
Act 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with
our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall
all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
(because
israel was going to be scattered amongst all those nations)
Act 3:26 Unto
you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to
bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. (Gen 18:18)
(Israel amongst all nations was a blessing to all the nations on the earth)
Mat 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Jhn 4:3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Jhn 4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
Jhn 4:5 Then cometh he to a city of
Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob
gave to his son Joseph (the father of
Ephraim & Manasseh).
Jhn 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied
with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
Jhn 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Jhn 4:8 (For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy meat.)
Jhn 4:9 Then saith the woman of
Samaria unto him, How is it
that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?
for the
Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Hos 4:17 Ephraim (Samaritans) is joined to idols: let him alone.
Jhn 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith
to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have
given thee living water (understanding).
Jhn 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou
hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou
that living water?
Jhn 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? (She was an Israelite too.)
Jhn 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? (She was an Israelite too.)
Jhn 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jhn 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe
me, the
hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father. (because Rome is going to come and destroy it all)
Jhn 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that
Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Jhn 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Jhn 4:27 And upon this came his disciples,
and marvelled
that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou?
or, Why talkest thou with her?
(They
marvelled because they knew Jews don’t deal with Samaritans and he told them
not to teach them, But they dared not ask him why he was talking to her. he is
their leader. That was the order, leader goes first then the men follow, Jesus
plants and the disciples water.)
1 Macc 10:30
And
from that which pertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed,
and the half of the fruit of the trees, I
release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of
Judea (no longer taxed anymore), nor of the three
governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria
and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.
(Judah
gained authority over three portions of Samaria and Galilee. That’s why Christ
was in Samaria and Galilee it was a Judean territory)
1 Macc 11: 34
Wherefore
we have
ratified unto them the borders of Judea, with the three
governments of Apherema and Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from
the country of Samaria, and all things appertaining unto them, for
all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king
received of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth and of trees.
(Judah
was in authority over those lands.)
1 Macc 10:38 And concerning the three
governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be
joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor
bound to obey other authority than the high priest's.
Jhn 4:27 And upon this came his disciples,
and marvelled that he talked with the woman (n. kingdom): yet no man said,
What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
Isa 56:8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the
outcasts of Israel saith, Yet
will I gather others to him (N. kingdom), beside those that are gathered
unto him (S.
Kingdom).
Jhn 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so
know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. (the lost sheep of the house of Israel)
Jhn 10:16 And other sheep (N. kingdom) I have, which are not of this fold (S. kingdom): them also I must bring
(into the
fold), and they shall (seek) hear my voice; and there shall be one fold (one nation), and one shepherd (leader or king).
Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a
minister of the circumcision (S. kingdom) for
the truth of God, to confirm the promises made
unto the fathers:
Rom 9:4
Who are Israelites; to
whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the
giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Jhn 11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas,
being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Jhn 11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient (necessary)
for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole
nation perish not.
Jhn 11:51 And this spake he not of himself:
but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Jhn 11:52 And not for that nation only (S. Kingdom), but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
(the dispersed of Judah
& Ephraim the scattered 1 peter 1:1, 12 tribes James 1:1, the gentiles john
7:35; he’s quoting Isaiah 56 that’s the “all people” he’s talking about. All
the people of Israel. Both kingdoms Ezek 37:22 tells why he says, “and not
for that nation only”)
Eze 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one
king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they
be divided into two kingdoms (S. & N.
kingdoms) any more at all:
(there were two nations because N. kingdom was no longer
his people therefore two separate nations, see acts 13:46)
Jhn 11:53 Then from that day forth they (leaders of Judea) took counsel together for to put him to death.
Jhn 11:54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews;
but went thence unto a country near to the
wilderness, into a city
called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. (he visited
there once before in john chap. 4)
Isa 11:13 The envy also
of
Ephraim shall depart, and the
adversaries of Judah shall be cut off (this pertains to Jews saying n. kingdom is
not our people): Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah
shall not vex Ephraim.
(That
envying and hatred between Judah and Ephraim is going to end through Christ
it’s over no more contention)
Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in
Christ Jesus: (Psa
148:14 & Psa 50:5)
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
good works (the
commandments), which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (the commandments).
Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the
flesh (literal), who are called Uncircumcision (gentiles) by that which is called the
Circumcision (Judah,
Pharisees, scribes) & in the flesh made by hands (literal);
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ (gentiles), being aliens (strangers)
from the
commonwealth of Israel (ye were not his
people), and strangers from the covenants of promise (uncircumcised), having no hope,
and without
God in the world (in the old
covenant):
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made
nigh by the blood of Christ.
2Ch 15:3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the
true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law (Christ).
2Ch 15:8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of
Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all
the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from
mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch
of the LORD.
2Ch 15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with
them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell
to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Dan 9:7 O Lord,
righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this
day; to the
men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are
near, and that
are far
off,
through all
the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that
they have trespassed against thee.
Eph 2:14 For he (Christ) is our peace, who hath made both one,
and hath broken
down the middle wall of partition (division) between us (between S. kingdom & N. kingdom); (Ezek 7:22)
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace (end the hatred Isa 11:33), who hath made both
one (n &
s. kingdom), and hath broken down the middle wall of partition (the division)
between us (Judah
& Ephraim -Ezek 7:22);
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity (the hatred),
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances (even the law of sacrifice); for
to make in himself (Christ)of twain one new man (Israel),
so making peace (between
Judah & Ephraim);
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one
body (one
nation, one fold) by the cross (by his death), having slain the enmity (the hatred and
the law of sacrifice) thereby {under the old covenant they could not unite, Judah and
Ephraim were doomed, but under Christ they are both allowed to reunite into one
fold again}
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled (brought back
again) to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we
shall be saved by his life.
Isa 63:10 But they (all of Israel) rebelled, and vexed his holy
Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought
against them (he
put us in slavery).
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah:
no other nation was promised this
Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of
Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I
regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the
new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament (israel), they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
