I know alot of people stay away from Facebook out of fear of various 3-letter acronyms... but we must remember that Yeshua called all of us to be a Light in the darkness... so avoiding one of the most trafficked social arenas out of self-preservation... greatly diminishes our ability to be a Light to our family and friends.

If you know of any other great 2House, pro-Torah, pro-Yeshua Facebook pages, feel free to let me know in the comment section and I'll add them to the list.

Hebrew letters representing Joe-seph and Jew-dah?

If you had to use only one Hebrew letter to designate or represent Judah (Jew-dah/Yehudah) and only one Hebrew letter to designate Joseph (Yehoseph) and/or Ephraim, what would they be?

I'm kicking around some ideas for a new logo for JewsAndJoes.com and would like to incorporate the two respective letters in their ancient or paleo-Hebrew script. Fairly certain Ephraim or Joseph's letter should be an Aleph or Ox head, but not entirely certain of Judah's letter. Obviously, Judah is typically represented by a Lion but also a Sceptre or rod of judgment... which makes me think more of the Lamed.

Any thoughts or advice out there?

Does the spelling of Judah as “Jew-dah” offend you?

I've had a couple people express dislike or suspicion of my adaptation of the word "Judah" (the common English usage) as "Jew-dah". If it also offends or annoys you, could you describe how it makes you feel or what your thoughts are specifically? I may stop modifying the typical spelling if a compelling reason is given.

I've found spelling the word as "Jew-dah" is an effective way to help people in the English-speaking West to phonetically connect in their minds the association of Jew-dah to the Jew-ish people... or the House of Judah.

Not certain where I originally obtained the idea, but it may have been from the way "Jew Da Maccabi" spells his name. He nor his fans appear to be offended by the use.

What lies have you (we) inherited?

For several weeks, I've been thinking of composing a list of the various lies and idols we have inherited from our fathers in the nations of our exile. Anyone care to help? Add your thoughts in the comment area below.

Jeremiah 16:19 "O' YHWH, my strength and my stronghold, And my refuge in the day of distress, To You the nations will come From the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, worthless idols and things of no profit."

Questions regarding Khazars, Ashkenazi Jews, the Rothschild family, and DNA

The following questions were recently asked of me regarding the Khazars, Ashkenazi Jews, and the Rothschild family.

  1. Yair Davidiy indicates that the Khazars were Israelites.  Is his research on the subject of the Khazars reliable?  I know he is well-respected in regards to two-house history.
  2. Is it possible that the Rothschilds hail from the Khazars and adopted the Hebrew faith more for political reasons than belief similar to Constantine's adoption of RCC.
  3. Is Ashkanazi Jew synonymous with the Khazar?

My less-than-perfect answers:

If the Roman Catholic Church is Mystery Babylon, then how…

...can 10-Israel and Jew-dah truly flee from the Roman Catholic Church (or Rome) at the time of her destruction... if they don't live within her? If they really lived in the midst of the RCC, then they could flee from her, but that is the point. They don't live within any real dominion of the RCC.

DREAM: Flee from Idolatry and Beware the Wolves, False Prophets

A close friend received the following warning for Ephraim in a dream. It is a bit graphic initially, but I completely believe Yah used the graphicness for shock-value... so "Christian" Ephraimites who are still embracing paganism will better understand how much their Father abhors the traditions of Ba'al. -Hanok

Yesterday morning I woke up from a very vivid and thoughtful dream.

Most modern prophet-like Facebook Status… EVER!

All of those Christian Zionist types out there... who basically worship the current State of Israel... will likely not be impressed by Melech Ben Ya'aqov, but I truly sense the righteous anger of Y'hovah coming forth from this man. It may not be a "thus saith Y'hovah", but it is certainly a call for Torah repentance... that modern Israelis (i.e., Jews) and 10-Israelites (currently represented by a multitude of nations) need to heed.

Melech Ben Ya'aqov ... completely and utterly rejects the current State of Israel, with its leadership of fools and criminals, its population of bitter, stubborn people who love to yell, shout and take advantage of each other whenever possible. I pray every day for the complete dissolution of this false State of Israel and all its national symbols (flag, IDF, etc.), and its replacement with an entirely new state, loyal to our ancient ways. Until then, I shall not step foot within its filthy borders.

Note(#1): Melech is NOT calling for a holocaust like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad frequently conjures.... but instead... he is calling for true repentance of Israeli Jews... which would truly have political revolution as a ramification in the Land today.

Note(#2): Melech is a Karaite Jew who lives in Israel for a considerable time and knows that which he speaks.

AUDIO: Brad Scott on “Who is Israel?” and “Two House Theology” (Truth2U)

Source: Brad Scott (WildBranch Ministry) on Truth2U Radio with Jono Vandor (Col2v8: 9/27/2009)

I've long been interested in hearing Brad Scott's take on the Two-House Teaching. I've assumed he understood the reality of Israel and Judah partially because of his affiliations, but this interview makes it more evident of his view on the subject.

I almost entirely agree with his description of Israel and Judah minus some of the diminishing of their literal "physical" aspects. I do agree that the Most High does not like the fact that there are two houses instead of one (which is why they'll eventually be united). And I agree the remnant of All Israel who has received the Seed or the Word of Messiah Yeshua is ultimately "who Israel is" (no matter the matter of physicality). Yet, I would suggest that a VERY large portion of that remnant which represents both Israel and Judah are indeed physical, direct Y-Chromosome descendants of Jacob (fulfilling a great number of important prophecies).

The assembly of Israel was, is, and will be mixed (of course) and Brad alludes to that reality with several statements in the interview. We all have many thousands of ancestors from various backgrounds... so any self-identity notion of genetic "purity" is remiss, but a look at population groupings by various haplogroups around the world frequently indicate we eventually are all traced back to a very small group of male founders. The great mystery is WHO those founders were.

And it is my view that ABRAHAM and EPHRAIM would be standing VERY tall amongst that grouping of men.

In conclusion, I always enjoy listening to Brad. He is a fantastic teacher of the Word and the mysteries of the Word. My disagreement here is very slight and probably all semantic.

Shalom b'Yeshua,
Hanok ben Isaak
