Millennia ago, a prophet predicted,
"From the ends of the earth,
Gentiles will come to [the Creator] and say,
'Truly our forefathers have inherited lies--
an empty vapor, in which there is no ASCENDING!'"
To which His response would be,"Can humanity make deities for itself? Yet they are not Elohim!
"This being the case, here I am, bringing them to admit [it]; this time I will cause them to recognize My hand and My excellency, and they will realize that My Name is Yahweh!"
Jeremiah 16:19-21
It is time to stop trying to capture the "empty vapor", stop following dead-end streets, and start to ASCEND!
And recently a major roadblock has been taken out of our way so that we CAN.
Do you want to take the next step in your relationship with the Creator? One that will take you BEYOND yourself?
If so, we have great news for you.
But if we claim to have a fresh, new message, how can we prove it holds water? How do we test its validity?
By comparing it to the unchanging authority that was given as our standard so long ago. The prophet was clearly pointing back to the Scriptures that preceded him--the Torah of Moses--as did all the prophets:
"To the Torah and [its] confirmation! If they do not speak in agreement with this, it is because there is no dawning [of light] in them!"
(Isaiah 8:20)
Does the Torah sound too hard to practice? If so, it's only because we've been conditioned to think that way. That's a box we've got to get outside of, because by thinking too far outside the original box, we got into another--the wrong framework from which to look at Scripture.
Yahweh Himself says it is not out of our reach. (Deuteronomy 30:11-16) In that same chapter, Moses predicted:
This was even predicted as far back as Moses:
"When all these things (the blessing as well as the curse which I have laid before you) have befallen you, you will bring them back to your mind among all the nations into which YHWH your Elohim has caused you to be banished, and you will return to YHWH your Elohim and obey His voice--that which I am commanding you today (all of it)--you and your descendants, with all your heart and all your soul. At that time YHWH will recover those who were taken away and have compassion on you, and withdraw and assemble you from all the nations into which YHWH your Elohim has dispersed you... And you will turn back and listen to the voice of YHWH--that is, carry out all His commandments which I am laying upon you today." (D'varim/Deuteronomy 30:1-8)
This is not just talking about the Jews. Yes, they are included, and are given prominence: "The Tents of Judah will go up first!" But if there is a first, there must be others to follow.
Yes, there IS more to Israel than just the Jews. The other tribes forgot they were Israelite. Hosea announced that this was their punishment for not wanting to LIVE like Israel. But the prophets all promised, echoing Moses, that one day, Yahweh would again have mercy on them and they would be regathered and given another try at being His people.
We're here to tell you that today that time has arrived!
It's been there in the Scriptures all along, but the blinders have been lifted and the mystery revealed, because now, after more than 2,700 years, Hosea's sentence of being "not My people" is finally up.
We're back! And we are not mere Noachides! We, too, are Israel! The Northern Kingdom is returning to the Covenant of our forefathers.
And it was Yahshua, the heir of David, who made us eligible again. No, we don't worship him as Yahweh's equal. That was one of the lies our ancestors inherited. But he is the one who pointed us back to the path. He deserves tremendous honor, and as we say here in the South, "Dance with the one who brung ya!" Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Contrary to popular belief, even a simple reading of the Gospels makes it obvious that he did not see his "new covenant" as in conflict with the "old". For those who were hopelessly lost, he provided a way back to the ancient path--NOT away from it!
"Salvation" as it has been preached in the past is only the first step. In fact, your salvation is not complete until the "one bread" is fully baked and is "one body". He wants more than individual followers. He wants a unified people--a whole kingdom. He came to regather us for that purpose.
The "personal relationship with Messiah" that we hear so much about--where is it found in the Bible? Individuals are redeemed to be part of the corporate whole. Individual salvation as an end in itself really fits more with a DIFFERENT unification--a counterfeit one--that is also taking place whether we recognize it or not. But recognize it we must, because soon it will be absolutely necessary to know the difference.
A great upheaval is coming. The teachings and examples from our community are designed to help you become part of the larger community that alone can ride that tidal wave rather than being inundated by it.
Jeremiah 31:21 tells us to set up signposts that point back to the Way our forefathers departed from. This web site is designed to provide some of those markers to lead you in a navigable--if not always easy--way BACK to the ANCIENT PATH.
