House of Joseph, Gnothi Seauton (Know Thyself)

Yehoseph (Joseph), it is time to Know Thyself.

O' House of Joseph, know yourself by knowing who you were, where you've been, and where you're going! Know Thyself!!

You were once a great nation, united with the House of Jew-dah by King David in antiquity. The surrounding peoples feared you whenever you feared YHVH and walked in His ways. At the end of King Solomon's life, you were divided from Jew-dah again and you began to resemble the surrounding detestable kingdoms (Ezekiel 11:12). Then your Husband, your Maker, called you a whore because of your continuous adulteries and as punishment, He brought your Kingdom to an end while sparing Jew-dah (Hosea 1:1-7), and yet after scattering you, in the same breathe of a great curse, He said you would become numerous as the sand of the sea (Hosea 1:9-10). And it is true, you have become a multitude. After 2700 years, you have become a multitude of nations (Genesis 48:19). The Great One sent His Lamb to die for you, so you could return to His marriage covenant (Deuteronomy 24:1-4; Jeremiah 3; Romans 7:1-4; Matthew 15:24). But you will still pay for your continued crookedness (Hosea 8-10) and only a remnant will survive (Jeremiah 31:7; Isaiah 10:20-23). Yet, you will become "a people" again (Hosea 1:10; 2:23). You will come with Jew-dah back to the Land of Israel (Jeremiah 3:18; Zechariah 10:6-12), you will unite with Jew-dah (Ezekiel 37:16-19), and you will appoint the BRANCH of David as your King in the Latter Days (Isaiah 11:1-16; Hosea 3:4-5; Jeremiah 23:5, 33:14-17).

The "fullness of the Gentiles have come in" (Romans 11:25-26) so all the blindness should be removed. For you see, this was a great mystery, one that the Apostle Paul understood, even in his day. It is a great riddle, but there is a key. His name is Ephraim.

Ephraim received the pomise to become the fullness of the Gentiles (Hebrew: melo ha’goyim) in Genesis 48:19. And you are he. You are the key. You Ephraim! You represent Joseph, the House of Israel, you and all your companions (Ezekiel 37:16; Matthew 15:24). And it is time to see. Take off the blinders. Open your ears! Hear! And understand! You are the fruit of an impossible promise issued four thousand years ago... a promise given to Abraham, then to Isaak, then to Jacob, then to Joseph, and finally passed to Ephraim. You are a great pomise fulfilled.

But who cares? Do you care? Why does it matter? Why should you "Know Thyself"? Why should you care if you live or die or multiply?

Ephraim, O' son of Joseph, will you listen? Will you turn off the TV and listen? Does the Almighty need to turn the power off? What does He need to do to win your hearts and trust so you can survive His day of wrath?

Know this, sons of Joseph. The hunters are coming for you. They already have an advantage over you. Their leaders know more about you than you know about you. They hate you because of what you represent. And their darkest leader, ha-Satan, hates you because the Most High loves you and because what you represent: a great promise fulfilled. The-Adversary, ha-Satan, is the father of lies and his promises fail, they have failed you, but YHVH never lies and His promises come to pass. And He has promised to help you when you call on Him at the time of the gathering (Zechariah 10:6).

Joseph, you have a lot of pride, power, and wealth, but you don’t truly “Know Thyself”. When will you wake up and know? How much of a remnant of you will survive Jacob's Trouble?
