A Great Remnant of 10-Israel is about to Wake-UP!
You’ve likely heard varying tales of “the lost 10 tribes of Israel”. And you’ve probably heard the intellectual lazies relegate the topic to simple superstition or legend. What you likely don’t know is that every Messianic hope in the Orthodox Jewish community is charged with this expectation that is centered around the ‘restoration of David’s kingdom’, meaning all of David’s kingdom…. that is: the restoration of the House of David ruling over both the House of Judah and the House of Joseph, another term for the 10 tribes of the ancient Northern Kingdom of Israel.
The intellectual lazies of the Christian and Jewish communities would have us believe the 10 tribes disappeared or just assimilated into the nations, never to be found again. What these lazies fail to mention: is that יהוה spoke through His prophets that the 10 tribes would again become ‘a people’. They would again form into ‘a stick’ separate, distinguishable, and discernibly different than the stick of Judah… and this would happen in the Last Days.
Other lazies will say the 10 tribes rejoined Judah after Judah’s Babylonian Captivity. What they fail to mention is that 500 years after the Babylonian Captivity, great leaders and teachers in Judah in the Land of Israel were claiming the 10 tribes had not rejoined them. The rabbis were arguing about whether they would ever be regathered. Josephus indicated they were still east of the Euphrates River, outside the control of the Roman Empire, which was a time shortly after Yeshua, where He said He had come “for the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” which ‘weren’t in this sheep pen”.
How can the scholars of our time be so lazy and willfully ignorant? Why is it so difficult for their blinders to come off? What is it that scares them so much about the House of Joseph?
The teachers of the two great religions of men (Judaism and Christianity) have the most to lose if Joseph wakes up to himself… to his true identity… for they know if Joseph wakes from his slumber, he is going to depart the religions of men, and return to the Torah of יהוה and return to the Land of יהוה. There will be an allegiance transfer. And it is coming soon. A remnant of Joseph is about to take his Egyptian clothes off and the entire world is going to see. And it will be a Great and Powerful Remnant because their trust will be in יהוה and even though they are a remnant of peoples, there won’t be enough room for them in the Land of Promise!
Vatican bans the use of the Divine Name in Catholic Churches
The following news articles is proof that the world is rapidly moving to a One World Religion with the Noahide Laws (as Jewish Talmudists interpret them) are enforced globally in order to unite peoples with one basic creed “generally” acceptable to most. Also see: BEWARE OF THE NOAHIDE LAWS and Ban on the Pronunciation of The-Name for more information on this alarming development.

Vatican bars use of `Yahweh’ in Catholic churches
– Francis X. Rocca
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Catholics at worship should neither sing nor pronounce the name of God as “Yahweh,” the Vatican has said, citing the authority of both Jewish and Christian practice.
The instruction came in a June 29 letter to Catholic bishops conferences around the world from the Vatican’s top liturgical body, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, by an explicit “directive” of Pope Benedict XVI.
“In recent years the practice has crept in of pronouncing the God of Israel’s proper name,” the letter noted, referring to the four-consonant Hebrew “Tetragrammaton,” YHWH.
That name is commonly pronounced as “Yahweh,” though other versions include “Jaweh” and “Yehovah.” But such pronunciation violates long-standing Jewish tradition, the Vatican reminded bishops.
“As an expression of the infinite greatness and majesty of God, (the name) was held to be unpronounceable and hence was replaced during the reading of sacred Scripture by means of the use of an alternate name: `Adonai,’ which means `Lord,”‘ the Congregation said.
That practice continued with Christianity, the letter explained, recalling the “church’s tradition, from the beginning, that the sacred Tetragrammaton was never pronounced in the Christian context nor translated into any of the languages into which the Bible was translated.”
Invoking a Vatican document from 2001, the Congregation reminded bishops that the name “Yahweh” in Catholic worship should be replaced by the Latin “Dominus” (Lord) or a word “equivalent in meaning” in the local language.
The Vatican’s move will require changes in a number of hymns and prayers currently used in American churches, but not to the Mass itself, said the U.S. bishops’ top liturgical official.
Catholic News Service quoted an Aug. 8 letter from Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli of Paterson, N.J., chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Divine Worship, informing American prelates of the policy.
The Vatican’s instruction, Serratelli wrote, would serve as “an encouragement to show reverence for the name of God in daily life, emphasizing the power of language as an act of devotion and worship.”

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?

The “Two-House Teaching” defuses Christian-based Anti-Semitism
When I hear Christian and One-House Messianic “scholars” proclaim and rebuke Two House Theology as being “Replacement Theology” and Anti-Jewish or Anti-Semitic, I’m a bit baffled and perplexed. All of those I’ve seen who understand and embrace the Two-House Teaching actually develop a deeper sense of affection for the Jewish people (Israelite descendants of the Kingdom of Judah), however there persists differing degrees of dislike for the Rabbinic system of the Jewish people. Even so, a love for Yehudah (Jew-dah) continues and a desire to do “the Jews” harm is unthinkable. Indeed, a sense of brotherhood develops, even though the feeling isn’t always mutual.
Even where Christianity doesn’t express clear Replacement-type doctrines, there is an underlying Replacement-type paradigm that pervades much of the Catholic and Protesting-Catholic spheres of doctrinal reasoning. If you were born and raised up within Christianity as I was, you’ve surely heard distinguishing comments like “physical Israel” and “spiritual Israel”, where the “Church” is spiritual Israel and inheritor of Israel’s promises. Or you’ll hear even more ridiculous doctrines like: “God the Father was married to Israel, while Jesus is married to the Church”. These and similar Replacement-type theologies are defused when Christians come to understand the Two-House Teaching and begin seeing the presence of Judah and 10-Israel even when they read their New Testaments. This ancient and prophetic “reality” is truly everywhere within the Tanakh and the Christian scriptures, but it is a reality which has been hidden from Judah and 10-Israel for many centuries (in other words: “blindness until the fullness of the Nations/Gentiles have come in” - Romans 11:25).
The fact that the Two-House Teaching defuses Anti-semitism isn’t a primary basis for importance, but simply a peripheral ramification which is good and good to point out, especially in a world where Anti-semitism is on the rise yet again.
I highly recommend all Christians and Jews to read the following (including the Related Content if time permits): The Hidden Irony in Christian Replacement Theology.

When will Elijah (Eliyahu) come? Malachi 4
Malachi 4:1-6:
1 “For look, the day shall come, burning like a furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And the day that shall come shall burn them up,” said יהוה of hosts, “which leaves to them neither root nor branch.
2 “But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.
3 “And you shall trample the wrongdoers, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” said יהוה of hosts.
4 “Remember the Torah of Mosheh, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Yisrael – laws and right-rulings.
5 “See, I am sending you Eliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה
6 “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction.”
Many believe, and rightly believe, that Eliyahu (Elijah) already came in the form of John the Immerser (the Baptist). But just as Yehoshua (Jesus) is coming a second time, so Eliyahu is coming yet a second time as a preceding witness in order to prepare the way for Him (Yehoshua). Eliyahu has not yet “restored all matters” as the Prophet Malachi (Chapters 3-4) indicates he would (just as Yehoshua confirms below). Read the following passage, but be careful not to gloss over verse 11.
Matthew 17:10-14:
10 And His taught ones asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Eliyahu has to come first?”
11 And Yehoshua answering, said to them, “Eliyahu is indeed coming first, and shall restore all matters.
12 “But I say to you that Eliyahu has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they wished. In this way the Son of Adam is also about to suffer by them.”
13 Then the taught ones understood that He had spoken to them about Yohanan the Immerser.
Yehoshua did not deny the future event, but indicated Eliyahu was already in their midst and prepared the way for His coming. Also note with the following passage that the Disciples of Yehoshua believed Eliyahu of Malachi 4:5 had yet come to “restore all matters”. It was yet a future event, which is quite apparent even now (that is: it is still a future event).
Acts 3:19-23:
19 “Repent therefore and turn back, for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master,
20 and that He sends Yehoshua Messiah, pre-appointed for you,
21 whom heaven needs to receive until the times of restoration of all matters, of which Elohim spoke through the mouth of all His set-apart prophets since of old.
22 “For Mosheh truly said to the fathers, יהוה your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear according to all matters, whatever He says to you.
23 ‘And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ [ref. Deut. 18:18-20]
History and prophecy are frequently repeated or reoccur in dual events. In fact, sometimes History is Prophecy (for example: the First Exodus is a historical event that prophesied the Greater Exodus of Jeremiah 16 and 23).
The Great and Terrible Day
Now we just need to figure out when the Great and Terrible Day of יהוה is (otherwise known as the Great Tribulation). There are many things that point to its arrival in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week, a 7 year Shmittah cycle, and lasting for 3 1/2 years or 42 months (Daniel 7:25,12:1; Matthew 24:21; Revelation 11:2-3,12:14,13:5). Malachi does not specify exactly how long “before” the Terrible Day of יהוה that Eliyahu will come. We simply know it is any time between “now” and the start of the Great Tribulation. There is good reason to believe he will be one of the Two Witnesses of Revelation who gather the First Fruits (the 144,000) to Jerusalem to be sealed, those representing a remnant from Judah and 10-Israel, just before the Terrible Day. Unless the regathering of the 144,000 (Rev 7) and “the woman” (Rev 12) is supernatural, it will take some amount of time to raise a sign in Tzion for them to see and be drawn to. Even so, Eliyahu will certainly be communicating urgency if the timing of the Day of Wrath is known and coming quickly.
There is an intriguing parallel between the 3 1/2 years that Eliyahu stopped the rain during King Ahab’s reign (I Kings 17:1) and the future 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation. Yet again, it is uncertain how soon Eliyahu will come before the beginning of the 42 months, but we should find comfort in knowing that a great prophet will be warning the sheep before the Terrible Day. Just make sure your ears are open and willing to hear his message (much of the Christian, Jewish, and Secular world will oppose him). His message will not contradict the Prophets of the Tanakh. It will resemble Malachi 3-4 especially. And just like those righteous prophets of old, the people will want to kill Eliyahu too.
I highly recommend Tim McHyde’s book, Know the Future. He goes into much greater detail regarding Elijah’s arrival and other things to expect and watch for.
