Q: Is it possible to be pro-Torah, pro-Jerusalem, pro-Jewdah, but anti-Talmud?
A: YES!
Jewish Karaites are probably the best representation of how this is possible... and there is no reason Ephraimites (or anyone for that matter) shouldn't have a similar worldview and yet not be considered anti-semitic. - Hanok

Mystery Babylon destroyed Economically?
Just a couple quick thoughts for the day...
There is no indication in Isaiah 13:17-22; Jeremiah 51:11,27-28, 42; or Revelation 16:18-20; 17:15-18 that End-Time Mystery Babylon is destroyed via ECONOMIC decline/failure. Furthermore, there is no indication that such will usher in a 'New World Order' in the West. All the prophecies indicate Babylon will be left in ruin with no inhabitant. When Babylon falls, it is the number one, best place in the world NOT to be.
However, there are many implications that a New World Order will take shape else where... namely the restoration of the Beast Empire, which many are starting to presume with be an Islamic Theocratic Fascist-styled Caliphate... probably resembling something similar to a merged Ottoman/Nazi-type Empire... something frightening to imagine... to be sure.
Signing off...
Shalom,

VIDEO: A rabbi answers a pastor (Rebuttal)
It seems Rabbinites, Karaites, Ebionites, and even some Netzarene.... conveniently forget Genesis 18 and other similar passages in these discussions. This is what I would have liked to ask the distinguished rabbi in the following video:
"When יהוה manifested Himself as a MAN to Abraham in Genesis 18, did Abraham participate in idolatry, for perceiving this Person as יהוה? In that passage, the two other men or angels left and went to Sodom, but יהוה stayed there with Abraham. יהוה even ate the meal Sarah had prepared. Interesting, yes? Is it not also possible that Yeshua/Jesus was a similar manifestation of יהוה? And if Yeshua is יהוה, then is worshiping Him and/or perceiving Him as יהוה idolatry?" - Hanok
Thanks to brother Pekka Husa for turning me onto the following music vid... which focuses on Abraham's visible encounter with יהוה.

VIDEO: Jerusalem, the City of David (according to the lamestream media whores)
60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl reports from the city of Jerusalem from a controversial archeological dig that has become a flash-point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Throughout her interviews, Lesley has a pervasive anti-Israel, anti-Torah tone. It is an excellent display of the lamestream media's efforts to demonize Biblical Zionism and of course, invalidate the Hebrew Scriptures. And they love to interview atheistic archaeologists who will make conveniently broad statements about how "there is nothing in archaeology that supports the Bible."
Questions I would have fired back at Lesley:
- We know many Kings ruled from ancient Jerusalem, but how many names have been uncovered from the dirt and rock there? Since we don't have any names from the period yet, does this mean there were never any kings who ruled there in antiquity? Lesley, what is your agenda in invalidating the existence of Abraham or King David?
- Lesley, in your liberal mind, are the Hebrew Scriptures completely and utterly void of any historical credibility? Or is it all simply religious propaganda?
- Lesley, would it have given you pleasure to see the Jewish Elad driver stop his car, get out, and get stoned to death? Would you then use that to demonize the Palestinians, the way you and your media whores use it to demonize Israel in its current form?

H’sus = Ha-Soos (the Horse) = Jesus???
A friend just asked me about the article The Revelation of Jesus - the Shocking Truth Exposed! where an attempt is made to demonize (or rather, horse-ify) the English word "Jesus" (by the way, I'm no fan of the poor transliteration 'Jesus'... I simply do not think people are damned to hell for using it).
It seems the author of the article thinks the Greeks spoke Spanish or some Spanish dialect, because he/she concluded that the Greek word for "Jesus" (IESOUS) sounds phonetically like "hey-soos". However, I (iota), E (eta), S (sigma), O (omikron), U (upsilon), S (sigma) more accurately sounds like "yeh-soos" NOT "hey-soos". It is extremely important to note that the Greek Iota was replacing the Hebrew letter Yod, not the Hebrew letter Heh.
Furthermore, the transliterated Hebrew word for Horse is not Hey-soos... it is Soos and simply sounds like Soos. When you put the word for "the" in front of any transliterated Hebrew word, it sounds and looks like "Ha" ...as in Ha-Machiach (which means the-Messiah). So "the Horse" would more accurately sound like "Ha-soos" ...which KINDA sounds similar to the way Spanish speakers say Jesus... but the attempt to make a connection between the two is really quite silly. There is no hidden/mysterious phonetics behind verses like Psalm 33:17 where men are simply being rebuked for trusting in horses as their source of strength, instead of trusting in the Creator of horses.
Some of my thoughts... not an exhaustive rebuttal of course. =)

Two-House Movement an offshoot of British-Israelism?
The Two-House Movement is NOT an offshoot of British-Israelism. In fact, British-Israelism AND the modern Two-House Movement are BOTH offshoots of the Two-House REALITY. The former was more of a mutilated, incomplete, and racist offshoot... while the latter incorporates more of the Jewish perspective without the racial undertones and without the British Empire's agenda and propaganda.
Is the Two-House Teaching an innovation of British-Israelism? No, it was a historical/scriptural reality that persists into end-time prophetic texts.
Has British-Israelism influenced the Two-House Teaching and the Two-House Movement? Yes, of course... especially in the West. However, there have been much needed and well-accepted corrections provided by many sources, most notably non-Messianic non-Christian Jews who have confirmed the ongoing separation between JEW-dah and 10-Israelites in current times.

"There might be billions of lost tribes out there by now. Because 28,000 were dispersed by Sennacherib and Shalmaneser, kings of Assyria. Through natural increase, this could be half the world today," says Dr Shalva Weil, an anthropologist, explaining the large numbers of people worldwide who could claim lineage to the 10 lost tribes of ancient Israel.
"Initially I didn't believe the whole lost tribe bit," says Michael Freund, chairman of Shavei Israel. "But I was very taken by them on a personal level, on a human level, by their sincerity, by their desire to become part of the Jewish people. So I thought we should help them. So I became involved, through the bureaucracy then, in arranging for groups to start coming in an organized fashion."
Michael says he is now convinced that the Bnei Menashe are Jews who were sent into exile 2,700 years ago. 'I think we have a historical responsibility, a moral responsibility, to reach out to them and to facilitate their return." Read the FULL STORY.
My comments: Even anthropologists get their facts wrong occasionally. Sennacherib alone removed 200,000... and those were from Jew-dah (see the Taylor Prism). Shalmaneser V and/or Sargon II is the one who deported 27,920 from the capital of the Northern Kingdom (Samaria) about 20 years before Sennacherib laid siege to Jerusalem. There were definitely more... and there could have been hundreds of thousands more that were deported when the deportations first started (between 740-721 BC)... but we have archaelogical evidence that at least 227,920 were deported. So Dr. Weil needs to consider the "natural increase" off of a starting number much larger than just 28,000. By the way, I realize Dr. Weil may have been speaking tongue-in-cheek or off-the-cuff. My intent isn't to insult her intelligence. I'm simply reacting to the "can't see the forest for the trees" paradigm that pervades most every specialized field of science. - Hanok

Yeshua, Yehoshua, or Yahshua?
Soooo... yesterday I was accused of being a "teacher lacking discernment" because I don't write or say Yeshua's name as "Yahshua". Honestly, I was more intrigued by this person's reasoning than I was offended by the conclusion that I'm lacking discernment.
By the way, I willingly joined the LDA group a long time ago (LDA=Lacking-Discernment-Anonymous).
If I'm following this reasoning correctly, since I don't write or say "YAH-shua", I'm in essence removing the Father from Messiah's name... thus I'm violating some commandment or paradigm that forbids I do this. Basically, it is as if the spelling of "Yahshua" is a litmus test... to determine whether or not I really have discernment and whether or not I'm a true follower of "Yahshua". Am I understanding this correctly?
The Verse (typically whipped out like a barbed-wire of Truth):
John 5:43 "I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
My question is this: Joshua had the same name as Yeshua/Jesus (the best evidence is that they were both called "Yehoshua" in Hebrew... in the long-form). Now... did Joshua also come in "the name of the Father"... since his name was the same as the written Hebrew name that Messiah came in?
Joshua's name and many other Hebrew individuals had part of the Great NAME of YHVH in their names... for example:
| Hebrew | Anglicized | Hebrew | Anglicized | |
| YeHo-shua | Joshua(*Jesus) | Yesha-YaHu | Isaiah | |
| YeHo-hanan | John | Eli-YaHu | Elijah | |
| YeHo-shaphat | Jehoshaphat | Yermi-YaHu | Jeremiah | |
| YeHo-zabad | Jozabad | Tsidqi-YaHu | Zedekiah | |
| YeHo-ash | Jehoash | Athal-YaHu | Athaliah | |
| YeHo-achaz | Jehoachaz | Hizqi-YaHu | Hezekiah | |
| YeHo-iakim | Jehoiakim | Yoshi-YaHu | Josiah | |
| YeHo-nadab | Jehonadab | |||
| YeHo-ram | Joram | Hebrew | Anglicized | |
| YeHo-seph | Joseph | Miyke-YeHu | Micah | |
| YeHo-tsadaq | Jehozadak |
*The name "Jesus" isn't truly an Anglicized form of Yehoshua, but Joshua certainly is.
Did all of those men come in the Father's Name the SAME way Yeshua came in the Father's Name (as depicted in John 5:43)? I dare say... there was something different about YeHo-shua... which went beyond just the way we spell, perceive, and/or pronounce His name.
The Father is still in Yeshua... no matter if I or you or anyone else spells His name Yeshua, Yehoshua, or Yahshua. He knows and the enemy knows who we are talking about.
Please think more critically and put away the barbed-wire!
Hanok ben-Isaak
P.S. By the way, I'm not upset or offended... just occasionally perplexed and confounded... not-to-mention, humored. However, this is just one example of how difficult it is to exist and fellowship within the Hebraic-roots community. Anyone else looking forward to the arrival of Eliyahu? Phew! =)

VIDEO: Israel’s Critical Security Needs for a Viable Peace
I must respectfully disagree with the basic premise of this video... put out by Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. Viable peace and security has only ever been obtained by submitting to the Ways of the Creator (i.e., the WRITTEN Torah) and depending upon His protection. The pro-Torah fringe within the power-centers of the Jewish nation must become the mainstream, or I fear similar judgments that are coming to Daughter Babylon will also come upon the head of the new nation of Jew-dah. Please Note: I'm not suggesting Jew-dah become more pacifist. I'm suggesting a wide-spread return to the Path of Light and THEN the Father will give strength to the hand that holds the sword. - Hanok
Jeremiah 6:13-16
13 “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, they are all greedy for gain. And from the prophet even to the priest, all act falsely.
14 “And they heal the breach of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had done abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. They shall stumble at the time I visit them,” said יהוה.
16 Thus said יהוה, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves. But they said, ‘We do not walk in it.’Isaiah 59:8
The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks in them will know peace.Ezekiel 7:25
When terror comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none.Nahum 1:15
Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your festivals, O Judah, and fulfill your vows. No more will the wicked invade you; they will be completely destroyed.
Something Wicked This Way Comes: But Precisely Whose Fault Is It Anyway?
The following post is something Avi ben Mordechai recently sent out to everyone on his subscription list (which he gave me permission to repost here). He more eloquently echoes many of the things I've blogged about in regards to the ultimate cause of the distress being imposed on the nations by various entities (particularly by the NWO/Banking Cartel). Simply by exposing the NWO and their globalist agenda is NOT what will reverse or inhibit their plans. The only thing that will truly deliver us from what is taking hold of the entire planet... is REPENTANCE and a return to the Light (i.e., Torah). Unfortunately, there will only be a remnant who will repent/turn... which is why we only see a remnant escaping the final judgments. - Hanok
Something Wicked This Way Comes: But Precisely Whose Fault Is It Anyway?
by Avi ben Mordechai
To anyone who might say, "we're on the road to recovery" and/or "everything will turn around and life is going to get better, you'll see," and "we'll get through this because love is the answer," I have news for you: we're not on any road to recovery and things are not going to get better. Rather, we can expect things to get a whole lot worse. Hang on for dear life because the rough ride is yet to come and it is going to get forcefully bumpy. This article however, is not about the ride. It's about telling it like it is and pointing at the real culprits for our problems. Indeed, something wicked this way comes. But precisely, whose fault is it?
“When Jesus became God” by Richard Rubenstein (book review)
An informative read (although more than slightly biased) is When Jesus became God by Richard E. Rubenstein. I disagreed with his primary premise and conclusion on who Yeshua was/is, but it provided an invaluable historical background on the Arian Controversy and gave me massive distaste for religious-creed type infighting so typical in the formative days of the Catholic "belief-based" religion (which is being replayed to a lesser degree in the modern Messianic/Hebraic-roots movements).
For example, I probably agree more with Athanasius on the question of Yeshua's relationship to the Father, but very much oppose the violent rhetoric of Athanasius towards Arius. The whole period was one sick display of religious cannibalism.
Unfortunately, both sides of this controversy have a tendency toward hostility and separation. The Yeshua-is-Yah crowd is accused of Idolatry... while the Yeshua-is-less-than-Yah crowd is accused of being condemned to hell... because of John 8:24 allusions.
In spite of all the current turmoil, the thing which helps me to maintain shalom within myself and within relationships with others (of differing views)... is knowing that eventually we will fully understand ALL aspects of Who Yeshua was/is... and whether or not He was more or less than what we thought we understood, will very likely NOT be THE doorway or THE key to the Kingdom.
Shalom mishpachah (family),

I've already covered many of Alan Mansager's points in my article Fatal Errors of the Lunar Sabbath controversy. Not real sure why he had to compare this controversy with the Sacred-Name controversy because there is certainly much more scholarly debate in regards to the pronunciation of the Name... than what is involved in the Lunar-Sabbath issue... however, this is a fairly solid presentation on the subject at hand. Enjoy!

Black Hebrews MORE original than Ashkenazi Jews?
I keep running into this inconsistent logic. Can't ignore it anymore.
Some black-skinned Africans (who probably do have some variation of Ephraimite and/or Levite mixture in their ancestry) use the genetic evidence found in the black-skinned Lemba tribe as proof that most all or many Africans are the "original Hebrews"... by making the comparison to the Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH) found in the Lemba population with the same haplotype found in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. The evidence regarding the Lemba is indeed intriguing and compelling...
