Intradynasty (B’toch haShoshelet)

“That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs and of THE SAME BODY…” (Acts 7:38; Lk 1:33; Jn 10:16; Eph 2:15; 3:6)

We’re going to put the meaning of the phrase “the SAME BODY” and of being WITHIN IT, on trial, to dispel misconceived ideas about the identity of the church, since it was AS THE HEBREW “CHURCH” (Acts 7:38) which Jesus FOLLOWED and from Whom Israel DRANK as their spiritual Rock during the Exodus (1 Cor 10:4), that a believing Jewish Messianic Apostolic remnant emerged which is now indisputably the body of the Messiah through THEIR New Covenant (Jer 31:31-34).

Though it will be too much for the world to digest just at the moment, we have an obligation, if we’re to make WISE disciples of nations (for them to “observe ALL things WHATSOEVER I have commanded YOU” – Matt 28:20) as tribulation INTENSIFIES and “the TERROR of the LORD” begins to exact its terrible toll (Ps 2:12; 2 Cor 5:11; Rev 6:12-17), to make it known that mankind’s only hope, through faith in Israel’s Messiah, is a HEBREW civilization (the coming Theocratic millennial Kingdom of David) through which the keeping of the truth and righteousness of HEBREW precepts (including the Ten Words and the four Levitical fellowship entry-requirements derived from them – Ex 20:1-17; Acts 15:20) “to serve God acceptably” (on the proven ancient “paths of righteousness” which are “the Way of holiness” – Ps 23:3b; Is 35:8; Zech 8:8; Matt 7:13-27; Rom 2:6-13; 15:16-18; Heb 12:14,28), will ensure a principled world with the stability and benefits of “everlasting righteousness” (Is 51:1-7; Dan 9:24) to make a “world without end” “like days of heaven on earth” – like Eden recovered (Deut 4:5-8; 11:21; Is 2:2-4; 65:17-25).

It is for this purpose (“that Thy Way may be known upon the earth”) that we from the nations have been “surnamed for God’s servant Jacob’s sake,” to abide in Y’shua the Vine amongst the noble vines of the House of Jacob (Ps 80:7-19; Jer 2:21; Jn 15) to “sow to ourselves in righteousness” by walking lawfully after the Spirit, by learning righteousness by using the law lawfully to learn what sin is, to “rejoice in working righteousness” to create an incorruptible new world order (Ps 67; 106:3-5; Is 26:9,10; 29:22-24; 45:4-6,17-25; 51:1-7; 64:5; Hosea 6:1-3; 10:11; Acts 10:35; Rom 3:20,31; 1 Tim 1:8-11; 2 Tim 2:5; Heb 10:16; 1Jn 3:4).

Obviously, the only faith and only church that can make that possible is the universal faith and church which was accepted in the Book of Acts as the fulfilment of the promise to the HEBREWS of one eternal Messianic Hebrew fold (Gen 12-35; Is 56:6-8; Jn 10:16; Rev 21:12), due to “the one faith” being “the faith once (i.e. as it was originally) delivered to the saints” without Greek or Roman manipulation and modification (Jude vs 3), to preserve the purity of YHVH’s doctrine and operation of the Holy Spirit without limit.

Col 2:16,17, by affirming the Hebrew traditionary law (which is Strong’s definition of the “traditions” [paradosis] as the ordinances of YHVH’s perpetual Holy Convocations, in the parallel text in 2 Thess 2:15), gives us a powerful confirmation of Ephesians 2:11-19 and 3:6 which make it clear that Israel in the wilderness was the START-UP CHURCH to whose New Covenant remnant we are joined through our justification by faith, to VINDICATE the beauty and truth of those Convocations (“holydays/Feasts, New Moons and Ex 20:8-11 Sabbath Days”) by keeping them by faith in obedience to the authentic Gospel (Is 56:6; Rom 3:31; 15:16-18; 16:26; 1 Cor 11:1,2) as an essential part of our sanctification, hence the endtime warnings in Gal 4:8-11 and 2 Thess 2:13-15, not to forsake them for counterfeits from the nations.

Col 2:17 should read: “(which are a shadow of things to come) NOW (that the) [NOT “BUT the”] BODY (of believers/congregation of the people of YHVH, referring back to Acts 7:38) is of the Messiah/Messianic (Lk 1:33; ), hence “the same body” in Eph 3:6.

The PROPER NOUN and PLACE-NAME ‘Palestine,’ a play on Plishtim (the Philistines) and a figment of political imagination vainly conceived to try to quash the everlasting covenant by engineering state capture from the Hebrews; and the COMMON COLLECTIVE NOUN ‘church,’ are examples of the most propagandized use of language in history, which have mutually reinforced one another to curse Israel.

If Israel is not the church (Acts 7:38; Lk 1:33) and Palestine is not Israel, salvation is voided (theoretically, at least) because the best any other church can do is to produce “a different Jesus,” because like the chosen nation itself, the Nativity, the Crucifixion and Resurrection and the Second Coming would be stateless, and therefore prophecy unplugged, out on a limb.

Perverse use of these nouns has resulted in GEOGRAPHY and RELIGION playing the harlot, for generations.

The ‘whoredom’ of this incessant disinformation about the nation of Israel; their Landed birthright; the pre-eminence of their Messianic Church; and the Oneness of their God, the one and only Creator and Saviour (Is 44:24; 45:17-25: Mk 12:29), has polluted the understanding of the entire world (Rev 17:15); has grievously affected Jewish morale, well-being and property (Zech 1:13-18); and has robbed the church of powers it once widely exercised to help make the Gospel irresistable when, under direct Apostolic leadership, there was as yet no schism because it was obvious that YHVH’s set-apart, Messianic, Spirit-filled “General Assembly and Church of the firstborn (Jacob)” was HEBREW, its doors open wide to warmly receive Gentiles whose hearts are purified by faith, to be obedient to the one faith, and who KNEW they were ‘running to Israel’ to be glorified in THEIR church, rather than Jews running to them, as Catholicism and Protestant denominations vaingloriously like to believe about themselves (Is 14:1; 49:5-8; 54:3; 55:5; Acts 15:9,14-17; Rom 1:5; 11; Eph 2:11,12; 4:5).

Those who will not “come out of…” this fornication with the occult (Rev 18:4,5), choose the broad path which seals one’s fate in the lake of fire.

Palestine is not non-Jewish (because Canaan became Israel directly, with no ‘Palestine’ to leapfrog – Gen 17:8,19-21; Deut 12:28-32) any more than the concept of ‘salvation’ or ‘church’ is of the “Greek” (Jn 4:22; Acts 7:38; Rom 1:16; 9:4,5).

Until we start comprehending that the Messiah’s prayer in Ps 2:7-12 is His plea to His Father to fulfil Is 49:5-8 and 54:3 to unify a remnant from the nations WITH remnant ISRAEL as a Hebrew commonwealth of “one new man,” to perfect Israel as the church of YHVH (Lk 1:32,33; Eph 2:11-19; 3:6; 5:26,27), to be heir and curator of the worlds, we’ll continue fumbling through doctrine by muddling facts, and doing a disservice to His Jewish people.

What WE define as the ‘church’ profoundly affects what DOCTRINE we’ll accept as truth; and since rejecting the doctrine of the Messiah in any way can make the difference between faithfulness and loyalty and disobedience and rebellion, even putting our salvation in jeopardy (Heb 5:9; 2 Jn vs 9-11), we should all be acutely aware of how Scripture interprets the common noun, ‘church,’ which we make so much of, usually without consulting the patterns and precedents which are given to us, to settle questions of fact.

Not long before Derek Prince went home to be with the LORD on a Feast of Trumpets, he made the following profound remark as a prophetic warning:

“The RETURN of Israel (from Second Exile – Is 11:10-12) is the greatest test of the CHARACTER of the nations.”

He was referring to both the church in the nations AND to the nations themselves, for neither has an excuse for disputing Israel’s birthright, given the powerful ways YHVH has revealed Himself in history as “the Portion of Jacob” (and visa versa) and “Israel (the House of Jacob), the rod (and lot) of His inheritance” with respect to legal succession to all the territory of the kingdoms of Canaan (Lev 21:22-24; Deut 3:32-40; 7:6-12; 12:18-32; 32:8-14; Ps 78:51-55; Is 10:16,25; 11:60:12).

To Derek Prince’s formidable proclamation, we should add:

“The restoration of the New Covenant church IN ISRAEL (the heirs of “the Way” which Judaism labels as heresy due to Judaism’s rejection of Y’shua, still calling it the Nazarene sect – Acts 24:5,14) is the greatest test of ALLEGIANCE of the church in the NATIONS to “the Israel of YHVH” (“for they are not all Israel who are Israel” – Rom 9:6) which is the believing remnant of the (mother) church, the House of Jacob over which Y’shua the Messiah will reign forever on the soon-to-be-restored Throne of David” (Lk 1:32,33; Acts 7:38; Rom 11; Gal 6:16).

The fully consecrated members of the church of Israel (the “Israel of YHVH”) which Y’shua “the Branch” (Is 4:2) has made the all-righteous branch of Judaism through the righteousness which is by faith, worked out line by line, precept by precept (Is 28:9-13; Matt 5:19; 12:50; 19:16-29; Acts 24:14; Phil 2:12,13), are the LEGAL SUCCESSORS to the nation of Israel and “the coming Kingdom of our father David” (Is 9:6,7; Ps 50:5,23; Heb 5:9).

All roads lead to Zion (Jerusalem, Israel, church of Israel) (“ALL my springs are in thee”), not to a Gentile capital (Ps 87:7; 102:13-18; 129:5; 146:10).

The relative number of Jews saved over the generations (relative to unsaved Jews or to saved Gentiles) is IRRELEVANT to the election of the ETERNAL House of Jacob as the church (Is 1:9; 2:2-4; 56:6-8; Rom 11:25-29).

In the metaphorical language of Scripture, the Messiah is AS synonomous with Israel His “vine” (Ps 80), as are Israel and their covenants, with His natural olive tree (Rom 9:4,5; 11:1-32).

Many born again “wild olive shoots” (Gentiles) who claim to “see” the Kingdom on the strength of Jn 3:3b, don’t see it the way the LORD does because they are ‘disinclined to want to know’ (are wilfully ignorant of) the “mystery” of the “good” olive tree (in Rom 11:23-29, which expands upon the “mystery of the Messiah” in Eph 3:1-10), to know the implications of Israel being “beloved for the FATHERS” sakes as touching the (order and purpose of their irrevocable giftedness and call and their) election (as firstfruits of YHVH’s harvests) (Deut 3:35-38; Jer 2:3; Rom 11:25)

Two of those implications are that they also are to obtain mercy through OUR mercy to them by our reciprocating for the mercy by which WE were redeemed THROUGH them (Jn 4:22; Rom 9:4,5; 11:11,30,31); and that the appointment by the Lamb slain before Creation, of the salvation which would “come out of Zion” “of the Jews,” to join believers from the nations TO THEM and to no other entity, is because it is decreed, for our greatest benefit, that the spiritual “riches” we obtained through the DIMINISHING of Israel through their hardening in part, be greatly magnified in FELLOWSHIP together with the remnant of the Jewish people in “their fullness” which we’re told will be “like life from the dead,” which is why we are warned not to become spiritually conceited and alienate our affection for Zion (to which apostolic succession belongs) by defecting to any other institutionalized arrangement (apostolic ‘see’/bishopric) claiming to BE the universal (‘catholic’) “Church (kahal, ekklesia) of YHVH” (Rom 11:11-15,18,25; 2 Thess 2:3-15).

As we’ll see further on, since the self-styled Creator-God of JACOB created all the world as His offspring (Acts 17:28,29) for families to call on His Name BY THAT TITLE, for “the whole family in heaven and earth” to ultimately be ruled by Himself “in JACOB, to the ends of the earth” (Ps 2:7-12; 59:13; Mal 1:5; 1 Cor 15; Eph 3:6,15), the concept of ‘intra dynasty’ usefully highlights the call to every family in the nations through the Gospel, to call on the Name of the LORD in repentance for justification by His Son’s Blood, AND to seal their identity as heirs of the God and King of Jacob (Is 41:21,27; Rom 8:17) by ‘declaring affinity with’ (joining and cleaving to) the eternal House of Jacob as the “General Assembly and Church of the firstborn” (Jacob) (Gen 25:23; Is 14:1; Acts 17:26-28; Heb 12:23).

This is to save us from “correction, with judgment,” for potentially behaving detrimentally to God’s people Israel in thought, word and/or deed by misconstruing the paramount rôle of the House of Jacob as heirs of the world, and as YHVH’s Household, in the shaping of our character by His Spirit conforming us to His Son’s image (Rom 8:29; Col 3:9,10), and by shaping our citizenship of the age and world to come as joint-heirs with the Messiah amongst the Twelve Tribes (Is 10:23-25; 66:22-24; Rom 4:13; Eph 2:11,12,19; Col 1:28; Rev 21:12).

We need to get this through to people everywhere, to sow seeds of truth that will help end anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, because it’s hard to be anti-Semitic and deny the Abrahamic land covenant (Gen 12:1-7; 15:7-21; Ps 105:8-11; Rom 15:8) when your salvation depends on your adoption in the commonwealth of Zion/Israel through their New Covenant, their church and their promises (Gen 27:29; 28:14; Jer 31:31-36; Lk 1:33; Eph 2:11,12).

In this context, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that the Abrahamic promise of protection (“cursed be everyone that curses THEE, and blessed be he who blesseth THEE”) conveyed to Jacob by inheritance in Gen 27:29, is to covenant- keepers who are joined to (grafted in) the House of Jacob (implied by being “in thee [Jacob]”) by adoption, which is what we’re taught in Is 56:6-8; Lk 1:33; Jn 10:16 and Gal 3:29.

If you’re disowning the House of Jacob by claiming membership of a different household by a different Jesus of a different church, you can hardly expect the Blood to provide the sought-for covenant benefits.

This is not just a technicality. It goes to the heart of “the one faith” and to our faith in our connection to YHVH through His Son, by His Spirit working in the church AS it is SCRIPTURALLY DEFINED as the renewed or regenerated House of Jacob (Jer 31:31-34).

It’s only as bona fide joint heirs of the Messiah Y’shua AS HEAD OF THE HOUSE OF JACOB (Lk 1:33; Eph 2:11,12,15; 3:6), keeping “The Way” which they (the Jews) called the Nazarene sect (Acts 24:5,14), to OBEY the Author of eternal salvation to die the death of the righteous (Acts 10:35; Col 4:12; 1 Tim 6:11-14; Heb 5:9), that death cannot rob us of our inheritance of the world, and the immortality promised by bodily redemption as His purchased possession.

Is 56:6-8; Lk 1:33 and Jn 10:16 teach us that it is by adoption as the redeemed of the House of JACOB (not the church of the city of Romulus and Remus), that WE TOO have become YHVH’s “witnesses” (Is 43:1-11; 44:1-8; 49:5-8).

That, after all, is the ultimate purpose of the calling and mission of the House of David (Israel’s first family) to which Y’shua’s miracle conception was given as a sign (Is 7:13,14); and the reason why the Atonement and Resurrection are defined in Is 55:5 and Acts 13:32-39 as “the sure mercies of DAVID” after whom the coming Kingdom of the Messiah Who will reign over the House of Jacob, is named (Is 9:6,7; Mk 11:10; Lk 1:32,33).

Knowing that, joins the dots to ensure a Biblical worldview and sound understanding of the true “everlasting salvation” of Is 45:17-25 in which redemption of our BODIES is DEPENDENT upon our sanctification by the truth (Jn 17:17,19), by the Spirit (2 Thess 2:13,14), to be a “wholly sanctified” as a PREPARED bride, through purification of our souls by obedience to YHVH’s ways, because sin is breach of the law (Acts 20:32; 26:18; Rom 2:13; 3:31; 8:4,6,7,14; 1 Thess 5:23; 1 Jn 3:3-10).

Our joint-inheritance in, amongst and with His set apart nation through their New Covenant, along with their dispersed saints still awaiting repatriation to Israel, is unquestionable (Ex 19:5-8; 1 Peter 1:1; 2:9).

Gen 35:11, Ps 68:26, 74:2, 89:7 are an identikit of the pivotal identity texts, Lk 1:33 and Heb 12:23.

Torah prophecy over the Abrahamic dynasty in Genesis, and the great number of confirmations of the future of Jacob’s inherited household in the Psalms, variously describe this ancient Abrahamic church of the House of Jacob (Acts 7:38) into which by God’s mercy we’ve been grafted to “rejoice with His people Israel” (Deut 32:43; Jer 31:7; Rom 15:10-12), as “the congregations from the Fountain of Israel”; “Thy congregation which Thou hast purchased…the rod of Thy inheritance which Thou hast redeemed”; “the (general) assembly of the saints”; “a nation and a company (commonwealth) of nations” (Eph 2:11,12); a “congregation of peoples” (the house of prayer for all nations) (Is 56:6-8), ALWAYS premised on the irrevocably elect Hebrew nation (Rom 11:25-29) being the vehicle for the redemption of Creation through their Messiah.

The raising up as FIRSTFRUITS of the New Covenant, of a harvest of the Twelve Tribes of Jacob (e.g. Acts 21:20) as a precursor to the glorious late harvest of Israel in Is 45:25; 46:13; Zech 12; Lk 2:32 and Rom 11:12b,15b,23-26, signalled that they were the REDEMPTION PRIORITY, by the Messiah being sent AS THE NEW COVENANT OF ISRAEL (Is 42:6; 49:8b) to His nation, FIRST (Is 49:6a; Acts 3:25,26; Rom 1:16).

This was to ensure the continuity of the church of Acts 7:38, from the Passover that released Israel as firstborn nation (Ex 4:22,23) into their destiny through a New Covenant-foreshadowing baptism in the Sea of Reeds AS THE CHURCH and ancient bride-elect (Is 54), to the exaltation and installation of Israel as heir of eternity in Messiah, in Rev 21:12, which couldn’t more clearly advertise WHOSE Gates the New Jerusalem’s are, in fulfilment of the promised exaltation of Israel AS A NATION – “Israel My glory” (Deut 26:16-19; 2 Sam 7:32-36; Is 46:13; 60-62; Jer 31:7).

So it’s only fair that if we warn others to “come out of HER” (the entire system of harlotry/ deception/unwisdom – Rev 18:4,5), we help direct their path into “the fellowship of the mystery of the Messiah” (Eph 3:1-10) which is done by being conscious of joining the Hebrew “one new man” to gratefully cleave to “the same body” which Scripture defines through the Abrahamic covenant as the House of Jacob, through faith in the Messiah Who is the “Sceptre out of Israel” and “Star out of Jacob” (Nu 24:17; Rom 11; 15:8-16).

Over the better part of two millennia, the common noun, ‘church,’ has acquired connotations which disassociate it from the challenging BIBLICAL doctrine of salvation and from the precepts of “the doctrine according to Godliness” both of which have come out of Zion.

Seeing OURSELVES and our membership of the body of the Messiah anchored in “the same body” in which Abraham, Isaac and Jacob obtained salvation (Gen 18:18,19; Is 51:1-7; Eph 3:6), puts an end to vain imaginings about the relationship between Israel and the church which have been deliberately exploited, to Hellenize both.

We receive grace in vain and call on the Name of the LORD in vain if we dispute the centrality of the House of Jacob in the repair of the world and the restitution of all things in the coming regeneration.

‘Hanukkah’ (the late November or December Feast of Dedication also known as the Feast of Lights) (Jn 10:22) is an annual reminder of Israel’s inevitable bounce-back from idolatry – soon – to their “fullness” in Messiah, reconciled to YHVH through YHVH in Him (Rom 11:12; 2 Cor 5:19), to exemplify “the Way” which they’ll regret having vilified as “heresy” and as the “sect” of the Nazarenes, because of their misjudgment of the glory of the Testimony of the One they slander as “THAT man,” Testimony which is by the Spirit of prophecy by which He was sent to save them from wrath as “the man from Heaven.” When they recant and fall at His Feet, His love for them because of their fathers will transfigure the Universe (Ps 104:30) and at last we’ll understand the endless love described Deut 4:37,38 & Rom 11:28.

There is no greater proof that HOUSEHOLD salvation (for which INDIVIDUAL salvation is the means) is the priority of the God of Jacob, the Saviour (Is 41:21,27; 45:15,21,22), than the preservation of the House of Jacob against all odds, dating back to the salvation of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to establish the household of YHVH WITHIN THEIR DYNASTY (Joshua 24:15; Ps 125; 131:12-18; 137:5,6; Jer 10:25; Matt 8:11,12; 22:28-33; Lk 1:33; Rom 11; Eph 2:11,12,19; Gal 3:29; Rev 21:12).

As it is written: “As touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by YHVH, saying, ‘I Am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the LIVING”

THEY live in sleep because Y’shua lives (Jn 11:25; 14:19), because they became the principal heirs of the righteousness which is of faith, to provide the GENERATIONAL family (a perpetual dynasty because it is synonomous with the gift of eternal life) WITHIN which salvation is procured by grace through faith by all who call on the Name of the LORD.

There is such weight of evidence that the church belongs to Jacob/Israel, that it’s astonishing that deceitful teachers have succeeded for so long in smothering and suppressing the truth.

According to Is 29:22-24, Jacob has an enormous vested interest in our three-part sanctification through obedience to the Gospel (Jn 17:17,19; 1 Thess 5:23; 2 Thess 2:13-15), because fulfilment of the promises to his grandfather, father and to himself (Rom 15:8) DEPEND on our integrity as professing believers, to keep “the Way of YHVH” in which these fathers walked before YHVH, to be perfect (Gen 17:1-6; 18:18,19; 26:5; Acts 24:14; Col 4:12).

At the very least, Gen 28:14; Is 29:22-24; 49:5-8; Lk 1:33 and Rom 11 should be required reading in every foundation course, to properly define the church and thereby, our relationship with the Jewish people in “the fellowship of the mystery of the Messiah” (Eph 2:11-19; 3:1-10).

In Is 29:22-24 we read about ourselves included as sons adopted “in thee” (i.e. in the church of firstborn Jacob/Israel – Gen 28:14; Ex 4:22,23; Lk 1:33; Rom 11; Heb 12:23) as the work of YHVH’s hands in the midst of the elect House of Jacob, learning sound doctrine (2 Tim 3:14-17) to hallow the Holy One of Jacob in the Fear of the God of Israel.

Through corruption of the Scriptures by the distortions and vileness of Replacement Theology, we lost our connection with the PRACTICALITY of the concept of “the HERITAGE of our father Jacob” (Ps 16:6; 61:5; Is 58:14; Deut 33:4; Rom 3:31) and the vastness of YHVH’s unbounded promise to him and his seed (which we are), by our rejection of the Holy Sabbath which Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Twelve Patriarchs kept long before it was codified by Moses (Gen 2:2,3; Ex 20:8-11; Is 56:6-8; 58:12-14; 66:22-24; Mk 2:27,28)

In the natural, in the absence of male heirs and assuming that daughters marry, the father’s family name would normally expire; whereas in the spiritual, the redemption of a family name by the existence of born again heirs and by the purification of the bloodline to set about building upon and enhancing the best of one’s forebears’ legacy (Lev 26:40-44), gives it the status of an everlasting dynasty in its own right, WITHIN the dynasty of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Historically this makes the “Glad Tidings” of the New Covenant of the House of Judah and the House of Israel (together the corporate House of Jacob) the greatest endorsement of HERALDRY.

The Almighty takes a keen interest in “pedigree” (lineage) and the perpetuation of both Jewish and saved Gentile households, distinguished by the ‘colours’ of proud but upright ancestry and by good expected future prospects (through the grace which is never bestowed in vain upon the FAITHFUL), beneath the banner of the love of the Messiah as “the Ensign of Israel” as eternal Head of the House of Jacob (Nu 1:18,52; 2:2; Ps 60:4; Is 11:10-12; 14:1,2; 49:5-8; Zech 2:10-12; Lk 1:33; Rom 11; 1 Cor 7:19; 15:10).

These passages are given to us to VISUALIZE our adoption which by calling on the Name of the LORD has made us AS Hebrew as Abraham himself (Gen 14:13).

It is in THIS household, under THIS “Ensign,” the AUTHENTIC Messiah, that once saved, we are given a “charge” (exhortation; delivery of a solemn injunction or commanded task) to lay hold on eternal life by fighting the good fight of the obedience of faith to absorb the sanctity of “the Way” “according to the doctrine of Godliness,” by learning righteousness, to walk as He walked, by keeping the commandmenT to keep the commandmentS “without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our LORD Y’shua-Jesus the Messiah” (Acts 20:25-32; 24:14; Rom 6:26;1 Tim 6:3,11-14; 2 Tim 5:3-8; 2 Jn vs 5&6).

That includes heeding first principles, proving our membership of the one Hebrew fold by remembering the Fourth Commandment, the original, one-and-only SEVENTH day Sabbath, to acknowledge YHVH as our Sanctifier by keeping IT holy (Gen 2:2,3; Ex 20:8-11; 31:13,16; Is 56:6-8; Jn 10:16; Heb 4); learning the three Pilgrim Feasts of YHVH (Ex 23:12-17), His chief holy convocations which together with the weekly and Feast Sabbaths are the chief markers on the narrow path of Spirit-led sanctification by the truth to finish the course by keeping the faith (Rom 8:4,14; 2 Thess 2:13-15; 2 Tim 4:3-8); and that we learn the reason for the three prescribed daily times of sacrificial prayer famously modelled by Daniel and others, to humble ourselves to draw near to the Godhead at His appointed times, for YHVH to draw near to us in recognition of our delight in Him and in walking circumspectly according to His perfect law of liberty (Rom 2:13; 7:22,25; Eph 5:15-17; James 1:22-25; 2:12; 4:4-8).

So we see that the Master Dynasty of mankind with its roots in primeval history, “hewn from the Rock” to “follow after righteousness,” was “called (originally out of Ur of the Chaldees)…ALONE” in the person of “Abram the Hebrew,” and was vastly increased to RETAIN its identity as an HEBRAIC sanctuary in Messiah (congregations like a latter days of Noah ‘ark’), to uproot idolatry and bring civilization to perfection through purification of our souls, to create a Messianic world in Messiah’s image, under the sovereignty of the Hebrews’ One God (Gen 14:13; Is 49:5-8; 51:1-7; 66:22-24; Zech 14:9; Matt 24:37; Lk 1:33; Rom 9:4,5; Gal 3:29; 1 Tim 6:11-14).

Israel’s recognition and coming exaltation as a nation as YHVH’s peculiar treasure with incorporation of the redeemed from the nations, which will crown these dreadful latter days of Noah with MANIFESTATION of the hope of their Gospel (Ex 19:5-8; Deut 26:16-19; 28:1-14; 33:26-29; Is 9:6,7; Jer 31:7,10,17,31-36; Amos 9:11-15; Micah 7:8-20; Acts 15:14-17; Mk 11:10; Rom 11:11-15,25-29) will be fulfilment of YHVH’s promise to Noah as “the God of Shem,” that He would “ENLARGE Japheth” to “dwell in the tents of Shem” (Gen 9:27).

By revelation, Balaam noted the same phenomenon of the one new man as “the camp of the saints” in his poetic endtime visions (Nu 23:9,10; 24:3-23; Rom 11; Eph 2:11,12,15,19; 3:6; Rev 20:9).

The promise to SHEM was the later promise to Israel that the nations would be their inhertance (Is 54:3) through the integration and assimilation of a mixed multitude (first in the Exodus, then through the Gospel) into a sanctified S(h)emitic “olive tree” (a parallel image to the vine in Ps 80:8-19) through which the purpose of history would be fulfilled by Israel being heirs of the world accompanied by “others” in their Hebrew “house of prayer for all nations” (Is 56:6-8; Jn 10:16) who in good faith towards THEM as “chief of nations,” would SHARE that promise, in the Messiah (Jer 31:7; Rom 4:13,16; 15:10-12,15)

We are the fruit of YHVH’s acknowledgment of Isaac (“your only son”) and Jacob (“the older will serve the younger”) as firstborns for the purpose of defining the lineage of salvation.

We are retroactively in Zion by virtue of being “in Abraham,” “in Isaac” and in particular, “in Jacob” (i.e. in their jointly-owned dynasty – Gen 28:14; 35:11; Ps Lk 1:33; Eph 2:11,12) by being registered as Heaven’s citizenry by receiving the gift of reconciliation to “the God of the Hebrews” through the sprinkled Blood of “the Messiah our Passover” (1 Cor 5:7,8; 1 Peter 1:2b) to be joined to HIS Hebrew household THROUGH THE GRACE OF ADOPTION, which is through baptism for the remission of sins (Ex 3:13-18; Gal 3:29; Heb 3)

“And of Zion it shall he said: this and that man WAS born in her…YHVH shall count, when HE writeth up the people, that this man WAS BORN THERE” (Ps 87:5,6).

In other words, Hebrew CITIZENSHIP is imputed to us along with imputation of righteousness and the gift of innocence which it confers (for us to maintain at all costs by being righteous in the Fear of YHVH).

This joint-identification of SINCERE Gentile converts (“the uncircumcision” who are wholeheartedly consecrated) with Y’shua’s ancestral house, Israel, YHVH’s firstborn (Ex 4:22,23), is magnified by the revelation in Rom 2:6-13,25,26 that a Gentile male saved by grace, who accepts the instruction in Jn 15:3,4 by abiding in the Vine by keeping covenant precept by precept as Abraham did (Gen 26:5; Is 28:9-13; Jn 15:1-15), shall be reckoned circumcized in the FLESH, thereby vindicating the statement in Rom 3:1,2 that there IS profit in eighth day circumcision PROVIDED one walks out God’s laws from the heart as proof of HEART circumcision (Rom 2:13; 8:4; Heb 10:16).

When a Gentile receives the salvation which is of the Jews, he or she is instantly reckoned an ISRAELITE by “surnaming” (adoption), whether or not this adoptive change of status is recognized by the new convert to the HEBRAIC Way of holiness.

A major problem arises if acknowledgment of this patriarchal Abrahamic identity, and the appropriate response (to the obligations and duties of the set apart household), is never forthcoming.
