“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, it must be quite a mental orgasm to have found such a “weapon” against the Christians. If the Christians weren’t ignorant of the Two House reality, it wouldn’t be an easy weapon to employ.

Line 22’s “wicked branch, plastered white” points to the wild 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).

Things “One-Housers” hope You never find out!

If you don’t already know, a “One-Houser” is someone who denies that there remains a Two House/Two Kingdom reality of Israel in modern times. They view “the Jews” as exclusively representing all 12 tribes of Israel. Their world-view/paradigm is basically opposite to that of a “Two-Houser”, which is better defined here: Two House Theology (Reality) defined and defended.

So here are some things “One-Housers” hope you never find out (you’ll rarely ever hear them mention these things when they accuse Two-Housers of “lies”, “error”, “heresy”, and/or “bad exegesis“):

Please Note: “Two-Housers” will one day be “One-Housers” also, but that transition will only take place after the-Anointed Son of David (Ha-Mashaikh ben Dawid) unites both Houses into One House, or One Stick as Ezekiel 37 prophesies He will do in the Last Days. We are in the Last Days, so that transition and this battle of world-views will be over SOON! Halleluyah!!

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.

The Lost 10 Tribes in Rabbinic Literature

If you’re a One-Houser (someone who doesn’t accept the Two-House reality), then put on your seat belt because the incoming article is going to rip the cover off of your One-House paradigm better than any other you’ve scrutinized. Will the Lost Tribes Return? An Analysis of the Lost Tribes in Rabbinic Literature by Dennis Jones.

A brief segment of the article…

Have you ever asked yourself, “Will the Lost Tribes return?” It is a question which should be taken seriously by every student of the Bible. And yet, unfortunately, it is a question that does not even arise in the minds of millions of individuals who claim to believe the Bible and who claim to follow the Biblical faith. It is not that the term, “Lost Tribes,” is unknown. On the contrary, in the English speaking world, in particular, it has become widely known, having been bandied about in various book titles, newspaper and magazine articles, and even championed by some popular and not so popular religious groups. The tragedy is, however, that the vast majority of those who are familiar with the concept of the “Lost Tribes of Israel” have not taken it the least bit seriously. Instead, they have summarily relegated the subject of the Lost Tribes to the status of legend, fable or fantasy, without so much as a cursory investigation of the possible truth of the matter in Biblical and historical sources.

Now, these are not ignorant people; in fact, just the opposite. These individuals have excelled in various fields, from science, to mathematics, to social sciences, to history, and even including religion. Many have a fair to above average knowledge in all of these disciplines. One must wonder why so many relatively learned individuals, particularly those associated with one of the major religions associated with the Bible—Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism—have remained ignorant of the facts concerning the Lost Tribes of Israel. Is it that the idea of Lost Tribes does not have a solid Biblical and historical foundation? Or is it that the existence of lost Israelites is theologically irrelevant? Does the possible existence of several hundred million descendants of Jacob, who are currently unaware of their identity, but who may in the near future return to the God of Israel, to His Torah/Law as the standard of living, and to a close relationship with the Jewish people, not have a significant bearing on current beliefs and future social and political developments? Indeed, it will become obvious in the very near future that those who have brushed aside the vital topic of the Lost Tribes of Israel, without even an investigation, have made a grave mistake.

Fortunately, the situation is rapidly changing. Read full article…
