“Gabriel’s Revelation” stone, revealing the resurrection of Ephraim, not Messiah!

Gabriel Stone

Gabriel’s Revelation (also named Hazon Gabriel or the Vision of Gabriel) is a 3 ft tall tablet with 87 lines of Hebrew containing what appears to be a prophecy written in the first person and dated to the late First Century BCE. It is being hailed by some to be a “Dead Sea scroll in stone”.

“The ink-on-stone document, which is owned by a Swiss-Israeli antiques collector and reportedly came to light about a decade ago, has been dated by manuscript and chemical experts to a period just before Jesus’ birth. Some scholars think it may originally have been part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a trove of religious texts found in caves on the West Bank that were possibly associated with John the Baptist. The tablet is written in the form of an end-of-the-world prediction in the voice of the angel Gabriel; one line, for instance, predicts that ‘in three days you will know evil will be defeated by justice.’” - Time/CNN

I read through the translation and repeatedly thought of “Ephraim” and his third day resurrection prophesied by Hosea (Chapter 6:2) and Ezekiel’s “dry bones” (Chapter 37).

He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him. - Hosea 6:2

He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Master יהוה, You know.” - Ezekiel 37:3

The context of Hosea 6 points to Ephraim, the House of Joseph (10-Israel). In fact, the entire book of Hosea predominantly regards the the Northern Kingdom and her spiritual adultery. And Hosea 6:2 plainly says Ephraim will be resurrected on the third day. It doesn’t mention nor even allude to Messiah’s resurrection. Messiah Yeshua was actually raised after the completion of three days and three nights of death. Ephraim, having been figuratively dead for 2,700 years, will likely be revived during the third day following his death as “a people” in 722 BC (note: interpreting a single day as a thousand years is common in Eschatology). We do not deny that Yeshua’s death and resurrection will play an important part in Ephraim’s redemption and revival, but Hosea 6:2 is simply giving us clues in the timing of Ephraim’s eventual resurrection and Gabriel’s Stone is likely alluding to the same.

Lines 80 and 81 of the tablet read something like “In three days, live, I Gabriel command you, (81) prince of the princes, the dung of the rocky crevices…”

Line 81 alone should indicate to any Christian and/or Messianic believer that Gabriel was not talking to or referring to Messiah Yeshua. Our Messiah was a pure Lamb, having nothing to do with dung, but the House of Joseph (Ephraim) was prophesied to be cast into the nations/goyim where he would become unclean (Hosea 9:3; Ezekiel 4:13) and later be hunted from “the crevices of the rocks” (Jeremiah 16:16). I’m surprised a Talmudic scholar like Israel Knohl didn’t make the connection. To be completely honest, I think the temptation to use something like this to discredit Messiah Yeshua is too great for it to be interpreted in any different light. For the anti-missionary and/or Marxist-Atheist-Darwinist types, they find jubilation whenever they discover such “weapons” to use against Christians. Yet, if the majority of Christians were not ignorant of the Two-House reality, this particular archaeological discovery wouldn’t be an easy weapon to employ against them.

Furthermore, line 22’s “wicked branch, plastered white” could be pointing to the wild and crooked branch of Ephraim and the many nations (goyim) that descend from him, who have been “plastered white” after trusting in Messiah Yeshua as Savior.

I wouldn’t be quite so dogmatic about my interpretation had the tablet not actually convicted “Ephraim” by NAME. Consider lines 16 and 17: “My servant David, ask of Ephraim, place the sign; I ask of you.” Of course “my servant David” points to Messiah ben David, but it is Messiah who is to be a sign or ensign setup to draw Ephraim’s goyim to return to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 11:10-11; Genesis 48:19).

Lines 19 through 21 “By three days you shall know…the evil has been broken before righteousness” could be referring to the three day sign of Jonah, which Yeshua’s death was to represent, but it could also be describing the three days of Hosea 6:2, just as line 80 likely alludes to.

Personally, I find this tablet to be yet one more proof that Ephraim (10-Israel) had not rejoined the Jews in the Land by the First Century era, just as Flavius Joseph, R. Akiva, and R. Eliezer later confirm (see 10 Reasons the Jews are from Judah).

Protocols of Zion (2005) film review

For years I’ve wondered how a large population of the world would again generate enough hatred to allow for or desire another “Jewish” Holocaust. Protocols of Zion is a documentary which reveals a rapidly growing under-current of Anti-Judaism and Anti-Zionism in the world today. This under-current has been present for centuries, but after 9-11, it has become more frequently a very real and very popular public-current.

A growing number of sheeple in the world actually believe “the Jews caused the 9-11 attacks, no Jews died in 9-11, and the Jews rule the world by proxy”. This documentary does an impressive job reconnecting the modern phenomenon with the Nazi ideology largely derived from a one hundred year old forgery known as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It was one of the stimuli for Hitler’s extermination of Jew-dah. The German youth believed it because they wanted to believe it… the same way they, the youth, want to believe the same lies today. Mankind has an ancient affinity for finding a scapegoat to lay the blame of their own ills. So as the world economies spiral into collapse as they did before WWII, expect the new Beast to convince the world to again point their fingers at Jew-dah. Yet, this time Ephraim (House of Joseph) will also be on the receiving end of the Beast’s rage which is described in the book of Revelation.

All the chess pieces are moving into place and they all have an eye on Zion. I strongly encourage every Jew and Joe (Ephraimite) to watch the Protocols of Zion (2005).

Worldwide Biblical Zionists

Opportunities for Ephraim (10-Israel) to escape to Israel are increasing. One of the most notable recent developments is the formation of Worldwide Biblical Zionists. Their website is still under-development, but here is a brochure detailing their purpose and plans: pdf version.

Eddie Chumney (Hebraic Heritage Ministries) is taking on a big role in the newly formed org and he with Joel Bell, the founder/director, are drumming up alot of excitement and controversy…. all connected to the “controversy of Zion” of course. They also have a loose partnership with the World Likud Organization, which is causing some dismay among Messianics. Actually, I think the core of the dismay is that there is now one more competing force for Ephraim’s wallet and attention (but that is the humble pessimist within me speaking).

I’m not privy to all the details, but it seems World Evangelical Zionists is the original org that has taken on a different name but with similar or exact same purpose.

I’ve really enjoyed listening to Joel Bell’s heart and passion when talking about Ephraim standing with Judah and “building up Zion”. You can watch and/or hear him and other key players speak at:

Personally, I’m still watching and learning as much as I can before forming a strong opinion. WBZ may be the real deal. Joel Bell has gotten alot of Judah’s attention because of his compassionate support of the Gush Katif refugees. I suspect we’ll be hearing much more from WBZ in the months and years to come, if they are what they claim to be and if יהוה is for them.

Will Eliyahu (Elijah) precede the restoration of 10-Israel?

Before the primary question is considered, lets ponder another related one: Did Eliyahu precede and bring about Judah’s return to the Land of Israel?

No, יהוה used the governments of men to restore Judah from Persia in antiquity and in recent history. I see no reason to put extra-requirements on יהוה in order to restore Ephraim (10-Israel). We know from Scripture that Eliyahu will precede the Terrible Day of יהוה and Messiah (see When will Eliyahu come?), but where does it say Eliyahu will precede the regathering of at least a part of Ephraim?

Why should Ephraim receive a special prophet to evacuate them from suffering while Judah received no such prophet? Is Ephraim more special than Judah? No, Ephraim is not. Judah should have known and Ephraim should know that suffering and punishment is coming because of what Jeremiah 30:11 foretold. We can tickle our ears the same way Judah tickled her ears pre-1940s (thinking everything is going to be okay), but did the secular and religious false-prophets help save any of the Jews?

People question: I just don’t see how the poor are going to return to Zion. How are we going to make it financially? But the thing Ephraim must realize is that many of the rich of Judah were made poor because of the German Nazis. And the surviving poor of Judah found a way to return, by foot, by boat, and by plane. The wise remnant of Ephraim will do the same as the wise of Judah. The surviving remnant will likely do the same as well. I’m completely for Eliyahu supernaturally providing for Ephraim and Judah’s return. I would be content if יהוה just translated us all to Zion in the same fashion He did with Philip in Acts 8. And who knows, maybe He will do that in order to gather all “the woman” to Zion from the four corners of the Earth at a later period, but all I personally know now is that יהוה told His people to exit Babylon so we don’t experience her judgments. The instruction to do so is starting to sound more than a little compelling. I understand Mystery Babylon (America) didn’t come about until 1600 years after Revelation was given, but now we can identify Mystery Babylon the Daughter and we can discern the lateness of the age. Therefore, is it not prudent for us to leave Mystery Babylon before the proverbial and/or literal Persians destroy Babylon again?

“Are you one of the Joes?”

Recently, after sharing this website with a friend, she responded with this:

I noticed the “jewsandjoes”–I have to chuckle, since this last Sukkot in Israel, there were 15 with me at the Jaffa Gate. Several of our group were stopped by Orthodox Jews asking, “Are you one of the Joes?”
They know who we are…

I’m curious if others have experienced similar approaches by Judah. If so, please share them by leaving a comment below or from the link near the title.
