Grafted into Israel

 

This teaching is about the Restoration of all things and I will teach about the work of the end times Elijah, who is preparing the way of Yahweh as spoken by the prophet Malachi 4:4-5

New International Version (NIV)

4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.

5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.

Matthew 17:10-11

10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

11 Yahshua replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.

 

So if Elijah is restoring all things, in the end times before the great and terrible day of the Lord, we need to ask ourselves, what needs to be restored and what has been lost? So why is it so important to Yahshua that this must happened first before He returns?

Because so that the Holy Scriptures would be fulfilled that is written about Him that He cannot return until all things is restored and Elijah is going to restore all things in the end times. Just like John the Baptist that prepared the way for the Messiah so shall Elijah do the same in the end times because Yahshua said that John the Baptist was Elijah and he did prepared the way for the Lord at that time and he will do it again in the End times to prepare the way for the Lord.

 

So what needs to be restored?

To understand this we first must understand what was Yahshua's purpose as the Messiah of Israel?

His purpose was to be a Messenger of the Covenant, to re-new the covenant with Israel again, and to atone for their sins, this is why He said that He was only sent to the Lost sheep of Israel in Matthew 15:24  because it was they that God divorced and the good news was God is going to restore this covenant with them through God's son our Messiah Yahshua.

 

His other purpose as the Messiah was to restore the 12 tribes of Israel to become one Kingdom again as spoken by the prophet Ezekiel 37:22

 (New International Version)

22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.

To understand this we also must remember that when God divorced the Northern 10 tribes and also the tribes from the southern Kingdom of Judah but not all of them as God said in 1 Kings 11:13

New International Version (NIV)

13 Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

 

so those that was divorced was scattered all over the world and now is mixed in with the Nations until they are not recognizable anymore except to God, and only God knows where they are. This was the purpose of why the Northern kingdom called Ephraim had to be scattered so that the promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would be fulfilled that they would have a large Nation, Genesis 48:19 which says that Ephraim will become a multitude of Nations. In Hebrew it is "meloha'goyim" which means "the fullness of the nations".

 

Yahshua indicated in the end times the fullness of the Gentiles would happened and this is the end times because the Gentiles is starting to come in to become part of God's people Israel, they are grafting themselves in, they are realizing their true Hebrew roots of their faith and their true identity which is God's people Israel.  This is the revival that's been talked about, it is to restore the true Gospel that has been lost for so long and now it is being revived again in these last days. Yes, the spirit of Elijah is working in all of us and restoring what had been lost for many centuries and now we are in the end times so we must be His Holy people Israel and to be holy is to follow His commandments. How can you be His Holy Nation and Priest if you don't know His commandments?

Isaiah 11: 10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place (Jerusalem) will be glorious. 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush,[b] from Elam, from Babylonia,[c] from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.

12 He will raise a banner for the nations
    and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
    from the four quarters of the earth.
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
    and Judah’s enemies[d] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
    nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.

Yes, Yahshua is calling in the Nations to restore the 12 tribes of Israel and so we all can become one nation with our Messiah Yahshua.

Yahshua is fulfilling this prophecy which is to restore the two kingdoms right now and that is why you are seeing the revival of the Messianic faith, and the true name of our Messiah Yahshua being restored. This is why some of you are feeling that you want to become Jewish or you want to be part of Israel because it is probably in your blood. You are probably part of the lost tribes of Israel and God is calling you home people. He is calling you back into His covenant, and for those that are of the Gentiles, God is calling you in as well to become part of His people Israel through His son Yahshua.

 Isaiah 14:1

New International Version (NIV)

 The Lord will have compassion on Jacob;
    once again he will choose Israel
    and will settle them in their own land.
Foreigners will join them
    and unite with the descendants of Jacob.

Now I will end this with the story of the Prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32

New International Version (NIV)

The Parable of the Lost Son

11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

 

You see people we are that prodigal son and the older brother is the Jews who is so reluctant to accept us because of the way we live our life that was not right in the eyes of God, so we must come back to God's Commandments (Torah) so our brother will accept us and according to the story the older brother eventually later does accepts his brother back. God is happy to restore us back into His house Israel. God had always loved us and when you go through hard times we would think about our father and want to return home and God did say that if we first seek His Kingdom Israel, then all the blessings of God would be added to us,

Shalom Alecheim.
