We are walking in today:  Restoring Ephraim--The Two House Movement

​This movement is the strong emotional attachment of Christians to the belief that they are physical descendants of the lost 10 tribes of Israel or also called Ephraim due to the tribe being the largest in number.  These tribes are later known as the Northern kingdom or Israel or Ephraim.  The Southern kingdom comprises of Benjamin, Judah and 1/2 the tribe of Levi, usually known as Judah, the largest in number and later on known as the Jews.​
​   The lost tribes who were dispersed due to involvement in pagan idolatry worship are thought to have been totally overtaken by the cultures and people that they were scattered among in the world.  We have the promise from Adonai that He will draw the people of Israel, or Ephraim back to Him.  How will this be accomplished?  The listing of the tribes of Israel in the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the Brit Chadasha (New Testament) don't always contain all 12 tribes of Israel.  We have Dan and Ephraim not listed in the Brit Chadasha, in the book of Revelation.  But what does this mean?  Why would these two tribes not be included?  This question is often overlooked by many Christian Bible scholars, but it is very important point to uncover.  Due too the harlotry of Ephraim in chasing after foreign pagan gods, Yahweh gives them a bill of divorcement.  Yet we have throughout the Tanakh and the Brit Chadasha, that Yahweh would make the northern and southern nations one kingdom with one King. 
Within all the scattered peoples of the 10 lost tribes still contain the DNA of their Hebraic roots from Abraham.  We have the only way back--for the word of Adonai to be true on both accounts.  To keep the covenant He made with Abraham and not to remarry a divorced wife so as not to pollute the land.  In the case of the bridegroom dying for the brides' transgression, can be remarried.  Here we have Yeshua sent as an agent of the Almighty on His own behalf to die and restore the bride, Ephraim and remarry her.  This is what the marriage supper of the Lamb it all about!  Thus Ephraim or Israel would be restored by her Husband, the Creator of the Earth.  Only in the death of Yeshua could the two houses of Israel to be restored as was covenanted by Yahweh with Abraham and all apart of His eternal plan.  This is about a redemption plan of Yahweh, the remarrying and regathering of the whole house of Israel.  Not about the end of the law, or that we are under grace, nor about our sins!  Fiveamprayer we gotta wake up, study and learn--Yahweh has removed the scales from our eyes, He has given us ears to hear and opened up our understanding!  With this understanding we are not waiting on the rapture, there is no rapture.  That is not in the Bible.  The correct definition of the word would be caught away, to gather or departure.  These definitions are from the various translations of the Bible from the Greek to the Latin but with a Hebraic mindset and the confirmation of scriptures in both the Tanakh and the Brit Chadasha--that is this is about the in-gathering and regathering!  To hear this again click here!
