Grafted into Israel

 

Shalom everyone,

 

Please pray first and ask the Holy Spirit (the Ruach Hakodesh) to lead you and Guide you to the truth as you study this teaching. 

 

To start off, I just want you to think about a prophecy by Ezek 43:7 God said "Human being, this is the place for my throne, the place for the soles of my feet, where I will live among the people of Israel forever". God was talking about Jerusalem and the people are the Children of Israel that will live with God forever.  It does not say Christians or the Church or Buddhist or Islam or other religions does it? 

 

Are we to be called Christian or the Children of Israel? Which is more biblical? Of course many believers will call themselves Christians because of the traditions that were passed down throughout many generations.  This is because of the teaching that was handed down by the Christians that if you are a believer of Jesus then you must be called a Christian because He is the Christ and you are a believer of Jesus Christ.  But is this Biblical? Before I answer this, we first must establish the Messiah’s faith and the Apostle’s faith and also to go back to the wilderness and see who God’s Chosen people were and what they were called so that you can better understand what your true identity should be. 

 

Yahshua and the Apostles were Israelites and Yahshua was from the tribe of Judah which makes him a Jew.  He did not come to make a new religion, He came to bring Israel and Judah back into the covenant and also to bring the Gentiles (foreigners) in to become Israel grafted in or other words the Children of Israel. In this teaching I will emphasize on what your identity as a believer in the Messiah Yahshua should be.

 

We know that when the Israelites came out of Egypt, God would mostly identify them as the Children of Israel and when they met at God’s appointed time at the tent of meeting they would assemble together in an assembly or congregate in as a congregation outside of the Tent of Meeting or so called the Tabernacle.  So there are many places in the Tanach (Old Testament) that you will see that they are called the people of the assembly or the assembly of people which God sometimes uses this term for the Children of Israel when they assembled together to hear the Messages that God gave to Moshe (Moses) to give to the Children of Israel. 

The first century believers were called the set- apart believers of the Messiah (the ones that set themselves apart from the world for the Messiah), The way (the way to live your life according to the torah), Messianic community Jewish Messianics, Netzari (Nazarene) Faith, these are the Israelites whether grafted in or natural born are the ones that came to accept the Messiah Yahshua and observe the Torah (instructions of God), these are the set apart people (Israel the bride) that belongs to God, not the so called church the Christians call today.

 

Let's look at this word "ekklesia" mistranslated  to be church and some bibles it is translated from church to Christian, but what does "ekklesia" really mean? It simply means an assembly of people.  In most places in the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) the word "ekklesia" refers to a local assembly of believers in Yahshua the Messiah and should be accurately translated "assembly" or "congregation".  Another example is found in Acts 7:38 which refers to the nation of Israel that was congregated at Mt. Sinai as the "church in the wilderness." The word translated "church" is the Greek word "ekklesia." It is incorrect to refer to Israel as a church and the word should be properly translated "assembly" or "congregation."

 

Here I am merely trying to help you recognize your true Identity and that you should not call yourselves Christians but rather the Children of Israel the bride of the Messiah. When you accepted Yahshua as your Messiah then that was when you were grafted into the cultivated olive tree which is Israel. This is why it is said that until the gentiles has fully come in then the original unbelieving branches will also be grafted back in.  God wants everyone to come in to be His holy people Israel.

 

Remember when Yahshua warned the first century believers in Matthew 7:15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." Also in Matthew 24:11"and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." All of this Yahshua was addressing to the Apostles and the first believers knowing that this true Messianic gospel (the original) would be changed by false teachers and false prophets in the future, and this did come true in 325AD when Constantine had the Gospel changed and mixed in with his religion. Remember, Yahshua was addressing this to the first century believers and not you because you had already accepted the false teachings that was given by Constantine and the Christian forefathers (Roman Church).

 

The believers was warned before, even to this day the Christians have accepted a lie and refuse to come back to the original Gospel, again history is repeating itself.

Galations 1:6-9 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of the Messiah and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of the Messiah. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! 

 

The true gospel was compromised and changed by the Roman Church during the end of the 1st century, 2nd and 3 century up to the time of Emperor Constantine and now has a mixture of babylonian and greek mixture and the new name for this religion was called Christianity, meaning "believers of Christo" or the anointed one.  The anointed ones that they called Christos are the pagan gods that they worshipped mixing in the Messiah and called Him Christ therefore taking everything Jewish out of it, also giving it a mixture of their sun God that Constantine worshipped.  The Link provide will let you see that they believed in the sun god and therefore declaring Sunday to be a new Sabbath to worship rather than the original from Friday evening to Saturday evening as God had instituted from the beginning of time. They instituted new times and laws and in the original Catholic Archives they do acknowledge that they have changed the original Sabbath from Friday evening to Saturday evening to become Sunday which the Christians are using today. If you believe that it is okay because Yahshua was resurrected on Sunday, then I will say sorry but that is also a mistake because Sunday cannot be a new Sabbath because God never ordained it for God only ordained it from Friday evening to Saturday evening to be the only Sabbath.  So for now lets go back to see what the Roman Church had done and if you go to the Link provided then you will know the truth.

In the Greek mythology the sun was often called- Titan or Hyperion or personified as

 

Sun of Justice appears as a title of "Christ" from the beginning of the 3rd century.  Some consider this to be in opposition to Sol Invictus.

Constantine decreed (March 7, 321 321-Roman Empire:* March 7—Edict of Constantine I: The dies Solis Invicti is proclaimed as the day of rest: trade is forbidden; agriculture is allowed. -Religion:* The Roman Catholic church is allowed to hold property....) dies Solis—day of the sun, "Sunday

Sunday is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. In the Jewish law, Sunday is the first day of the Hebrew calendar week. In most Christian traditions it is considered the "Christian Sabbath", which is a change from seventh-day Sabbath or Jewish Shabbat... from the original Friday evening to Saturday evening Sabbath to Sunday"—as the Roman day of rest [CJ3.12.2]: On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country however persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits because it often happens that another day is not suitable for grain-sowing or vine planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.

Most natural born children of Israel (the scattered sheep) and the gentiles that was grafted in - believers of the Messiah and Jews was killed because they refused to accept this new tainted religion from the last part of the first century to the second century and all the way up to the time of Constantine when he formed the Council of Nicea to decide on this religion. 

 

In 325AD most believers had already been killed and just a small number with the unlearned survived, being so weary of the tribulations they compromised their faith and agreed to follow the new statutes that  was decreed by Constantine and the Roman Church.

 

The original faith had been tainted by the Roman Church and the gentile writers and scholars mistranslated many words in the Holy Scriptures and translated words out of context to fit their doctrine when they canonized the bible because the translators had a Greek mindset rather than a Hebrew mindset and they were not educated in the Hebrew culture, idioms, or teachings.  From this point on throughout the generations the Catholics forced their teachings throughout the world as we learned this in History with the crusaders, the Spanish inquisitions, and so on.

 

Many traditions was passed down without being challenged because the Catholic church would read to the people and make decisions on how to  worship until there was a protest which they are known as the protestants.  But when they broke off from the Roman Catholic Church, they also took some of the traditions with them as still using Sunday as the sabbath when God had never ordained it because the original which is Saturday Morning through Saturday night to Morning ending the previous day and starting a new day which is the first day of the week, this is the true sabbath and that is ordained forever (forever is forever and cannot be changed). 

Exodus 31:12-17 "Keep my shabbat, it is a sign between me and the people of Israel, forever. Also in Malachi 3:6 says that God is never changing. God cannot change His mind about things, if something is decreed or promised then God cannot reverse it or change it. In Numbers 23:19,20 God is not a man, that he should lie,  nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.  Does he speak and then not act?  Does he promise and not fulfill? I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.

 

Up to this very day many things was passed down by traditions of man and was never challenged, sadly the Christians think that they have the correct and only true Gospel and refuse to come to know or even look at the original. 

 

So who is the bride according to the Holy Scriptures?  If you would go back in history and remember the commandments given at Mount Sinai, it was there that God Married and established Israel as his Bride.  Yes it is true that He divorce them (10 tribes of Israel) and not all of Judah because the promise to King David in Genesis 49:10 "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor a scholar from among his descendants until Messiah arrives, and to Him shall the gathering of all the nations be.  Judah had two tribes and not all was divorced and she remains his bride. Now this is scriptural and we all can agree on this.  Now to establish who the cultivated Olive tree is-it is Israel(Jeremiah 11:16-17) and not the church as taught by traditions of man from the pulpit.

 

There has been many false teachings as the Church has replaced Israel and this is called replacement Theology.  There was never a new covenant with the Gentiles. If you look the new (renewed) covenant is with the House of Israel and the House of Judah-Jeremiah31:31

 

  Jeremiah 31:31

  הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים, נְאֻם-יְהוָה; וְכָרַתִּי, אֶת-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת-בֵּית יְהוּדָה--בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה. 

31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new (renewed) covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; 

 

This is why the Gentiles needed to be grafted into Israel so they too may receive that same covenant, and this is possible by being a believer of Yeshua as Apostle Paul talks about this in Romans 11:17-25

Romans 11:17-25 (New International Version)

If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

 

Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

 

All Israel Will Be Saved 

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

I will explain this mystery to you.  The olive tree that God cultivates is Israel(Jeremiah 11:16-17), the branches that was cut off are the unbelieving Israelites and Jews and not all of them . The wild branches that was cut off from the wild olive tree is the gentiles who believed and received Yeshua and therefore was grafted into the cultivated olive tree which is Israel. In Paul's usage in Romans 11, the roots of the olive tree is Y'shua that supports the cultivated olive tree and norishes it, and the broken off branches will later be grafted in also when the gentiles has fully come into the House of Israel.  Some will teach that you are grafted into Israel but you are still a gentile, but this is also incorrect as Apostle Paul also said that the gentiles are no longer gentiles but a new citizen or a new person as part of Israel(grafted in Israelites)-Ephesians 2:11-13,19

 

Ephesians 2:11-13 

One in Messiah

Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)— remember that at that time you were separate from the Messiah, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Messiah Yahshua, you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of the Messiah.

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household(family).

 

Paul is saying that you are a grafted in Israelites made possible by the blood of Yahshua, and now along with the natural born Israelites you are also in the covenant.  This is why God told the Israelites back on mount Sinai that this Torah (Marriage contract) was not only for them but also for the strangers living among them and also for those who are not standing there on that day. This means for their future generations and for the future foreigners that want to come in, this is why God told them to accept those that come in are to be accepted as their own, or other words to call them a grafted in Israelites. This is why Jacob blessed Joseph's second son Ephraim and through him will all the Nations be blessed because the Northern 10 tribes that was scattered was from the house of Israel (Ephraim) and when they mixed in with all the nations they became Gentiles-Genesis 48:19 and through Y'shua they will be brought in to become Israel-Genesis 49:10. This is why it is said that all Israel will be saved because you are no longer a gentile when you graft yourself into Israel-the bride. This also fulfills the promise with Abraham in Genesis 22:17  indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies.

 

Also in Hosea 1:10 (New International Version)

10 "Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. In the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'(talking about foreigners being grafted in to be an Israelite.)

Genesis 49:10 "The sceptor will not depart from Judah, nor a scholar from among his discendants until Messiah arrives, and to Him shall the gathering of all the nations be.  Here the Messiah will bring in the nations to become part of Israel as apostle Paul talked about this in Romans 11:17-25 and Ephesians 2:11-13,19.   

Do you understand now that you are a gentile who was grafted into Israel, making you a part of God's family Israel.  You were adopted into the family therefore making you also Children of Israel and not the unbiblical word the Church.

 

God's will is for us to follow His Torah (Commandments), Psalms 40:9 King David says "Doing your will, my God, is my joy; your Torah is in my inmost being.  Here, King David tells you that doing his will is to have the Torah in you (to listen and do) that is the definition of faith and belief according to God. To do God's will is to follow His Commandments.

 

Satan does not want you to know your true identity-a grafted in Israelite, because he does not want God's covenant with Abraham to be accomplished.  This is why Satan caused a big confusion when he had Emperor Constantine established Christianity to separate itself from their true Identity-Israel.

Now this is the original Gospel that Yahshua died to atone for the sins of the House of Israel and the House of Judah to bring them back into God's covenant, also to graft the gentiles in to be an Israelite also this is why it is said that until the full number of the Gentiles has come in then the rest of the original unbelieving branches will also be grafted back in,  therefore all Israel will be saved.  It doesn't say all gentiles will be saved, this is why you need to graft yourselves in to be an Israelite, through Yeshua.

The covenants are given to Israel, not gentiles.  Yah's (God's) covenant was made with Abraham and his seed (Gen.17:9).

 

The new(renewed) covenant was made with the House of Israel  and the House of Judah(Jer.31:31).

This means if you remain Gentile, you have no blessings of Abraham and no new (renewed) covenant.

I would rather call myself the Children of Israel, a grafted in Israelite who is a set apart believer for the Messiah Y'shua rather than a Christian which are believers of Christos who believed in the Pagan gods of Rome which they brought the Messiah in to mix with their religion. I would not want to have any kind of false doctrines of Constantine and his Church (paganism). Why does it matter? Because biblically God does not like to mix the Holy with the unholy. So therefore you should not compromise your faith and call yourselves the derogatory word Christian but rather you should call yourselves the Biblical word Children of Israel or Israel the bride of the MessiahYahshua.

 

Remember that many false prophets had already came to preach you another gospel like the Roman Church and Emperor Constantine so I challenge you to study all this, investigate and check everything like the bereans did and you will find that all this that I am writing to you is true.  Please come back to the original and stop listening to false teachers and false prophets teaching you of prosperity message, and many other teachings out there that teach you to not follow God's commandments, these are false teachers and it is unbiblical, the Torah is to help us walk in obedience to God.

 

2 Timothy 4:3,4 "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."

Why do I want everyone to come back to the original, because Yahshua cannot come back until all things is restored. Acts 3:21 He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

 

If you are grafted into Israel you now must come back to the commandments of God then You will provoke the broken off branches (non believing Jews) to jealousy because if you follow the commandments of God and you have the Messiah then the broken off branches will start to wonder and start seeking out why, then they will find out the truth that Yahshua is their true Messiah and then they will say Baruk Haba b'shem Adonai "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord".  Once they acknowledge that Yahshua is there Messiah, then it is an invitation for the Messiah to return, for Messiah said to them that "you will not see me again until you say, Baruk Haba B'shem Adonai", He is waiting for them to envite Him for He is their Jewish King, the Lion of Judah and of the Nations that joined into Israel. therefore you should not call yourselves Christians but rather you should use the Biblical word Israel the bride".

 

I hope that this teaching got you thinking and I hope that you will search the truth out like I did and come back to the original Gospel.  May Adonai help you by the power of the Holy Spirit (Ruach Hacodesh) and through the name of our Messiah Yahshua to come back and graft yourself into Israel to become part of God's Chosen and Holy people Israel.

Shalom, Yosef.

 

P.S.

The reason that Satan wants to keep you away from the commandments of God is to keep you unholy so you cannot be God's Holy people and priests.  How can you be God's Priest if you do not know God's Commandments? Also He don't want you to come into this covenant so that God's plan cannot be fulfilled.  He is doing a very good job of it because the Christians have turned to false doctrines that the Covenant (marriage contract) was done away with.  Remember that Yeshua came to renew the covenant with Israel and to give this covenant also to the gentiles that grafts themselves in. It is a renewed Covenant as in Anew, the same kind but this time it is given in a new way, better than before, the instructions of God will now be written in our hearts and minds rather than tablet of stones. 

 

 

Come back to the truth!
