Will the Real Israel Please Stand Up

there comes a moment in your life on your spiritual journey when you have an epiphany of sorts when you have a shifting of your Paradigm your way of thinking about things we all think in the way that we were raised we all think in the culture that we were cultivated in uh if you were raised in a Baptist culture you think Baptist if you were raised in a Jewish culture you think Jewish and so forth and so on and of course I was raised in the old Pentecostal Holiness movement and so therefore much of my thinking comes from that grounding for which I'm so thankful for but I'll never forget probably about 5 years ago in 2010 201 somewhere in that time frame I found out that a Jew and an Israelite were not necessarily the same thing and I have to believe that that was the moment when a big light came on in my mind let me ask you this question where is the first place in the word of God that you find the word Jew J eew surprisingly enough the first mention of the word Jew in the Tanakh the old test is when the Jews are in a war against the Israelites I know swallow that peel for just a moment go find it for yourself go look up the first word Jew and you'll see what was happening there there was a war between Jews and Israelites and when I when when that was pointed out to me it really changed the way I think and the way I teach and preach and it changed me from a Christian minister with just a Christian mindset to what we become today which is uh Spirit-filled uh Messianic Believers if you will for lack of a better word but when I realized that it changed everything because the first thing that's going to happen guys when people find out that you're keeping the seventh day Sabbath which is the Roman or Pagan word Saturday versus Sunday when they find out that you are a keeper of the Sabbath when they find out you keep the holy days when they find out you love the name of the Creator when they find out that you eat clean when they find out that you avoid the Hol uh holidays rather when they find out that you love the law of yah as much as you love his grace when they find these things out the First Response they're going to give you is this well that is for the Jews it's at that point that they have lost the argument it is that point that they have lost the entire conundrum uh they they're in a conundrum of their thinking and therefore the only way that you can confront that thinking is if you understand the difference in a Jew and an Israelite now in this teaching I won't go into it please subscribe to our YouTube channel do it right now push the pause button and go over to youtube.com type in first Harvest Ministries in the search bar in YouTube And subscribe to our teachings we have almost 300 teach teachings on that channnel and one of them is called the mystery of Israel and it is there that we explain the difference in the Jews and the Israelites but believe me if you're going on this journey out of Babylon out of romanism you must start with an understanding of the difference in the Jew and the Gentile so I'm going to ask you today who are the Israelites what does the word Israelite mean and are you an Israelite there is only two groups of people in the mind of God the mind of yah there's only two there is only two groups of people that he recognizes and labels as two separate groups number one Israel this has always been since the days of Abraham the chosen people or the brother of of the Messiah or the Creator rather now there's only one other group of people besides Israel you're either Israel or you're not if you're not an Israelite which does not mean a Jew and I wish I had time to teach it in this lesson but if you're not an Israelite then you're a gentile the Gentiles is everyone that is not an Israelite and so therefore the apple of Yahweh eye is Israel always has been always will be Israel was his firstborn son according to the word of God so it would do you well to fall in love with the thought the Paradigm the culture the understanding of Israel now we're going to go into the word of God for a few minutes and help you understand these things from the scriptures but many times Christians will come into our assembly here at first harvest and they'll see the manora right here this beautiful emblem they'll see the toite which is on the front of my desk there the prayer Shaw they'll see all of these emblems the chaar that we blow before every service and immediately they just think how strange that is and these folks are trying to be Jews but actually we're trying to be anything but a Jew because Jews is not not the chosen people of Yahweh they are simply a small segment of the chosen people of Yahweh I'll explain it quickly before we go to the scriptures in the Old Testament before David died and before Solomon died Israel all 12 tribes made up one great holy set aart Nation they were known as the church in the wilderness or the congregation the assembly and he they were known as the cahal which is the Assembly of Yahweh and therefore these people was one United Nation long story short you can read about this in your Bible I'll put the scriptures in the comments below this video but you'll go and find out that after Solomon died the the nation the 12 tribes had a conflict um and that conflict caused the Jewish people which was the tribe Tri of Judah remember Israel is made up of 12 tribes but there was one tribe actually two but they both Blended together Judah and Benjamin and even the the levite but nevertheless this portion which came to be known as the southern Kingdom and the northern kingdom divided from that moment forward the northern kingdom moved their headquarters from Jerusalem um they moved it they moved their holy days they changed everything and they moved away to Samaria but the true the Jewish people the tribe of Judah along with the Tribe of Benjamin and the Levites they remained at Jerusalem and they became known as the Jewish people because they were One Tribe out of 12 actually two out of 12 so you have a minority that remained with the seventh day Sabbath AB they remained with the holy days this tribe became identified as Israel but in fact they were a small portion of Israel what happened to the other 10 tribes that's a lesson that we cover in another video on our YouTube channel go subscribe to our YouTube channel it would do you well to do that so long story short the northern tribes lost their identity they forsook the Shabbat they forsook the holy days and through history they they they lost their identity however the entire gospel is about that lost tribes being reunited the older brother being reunited with the prodal son if you will and both of those uh coming back together in the end times and that is the time that we are living in now so who is Israel let's find out today um if you're watching you've got to decide you've got to decide if you're a gentile or if you're an Israelite please don't ever say again that you're a gentile Christian that's impossible that is a complete dichotomy it's a complete oximoron it will not go together the word Gentile and believer does not go together the only true believers on our planet is the Israelites as a matter of fact if you go to Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 12 you're going to find the Pauline writings and here's what Paul says to me and to you who are not natural Jews by birth nor natural Israelites by birth he said in times past you were without the Messiah you were aliens from the nation of Israel which is the Commonwealth and strangers from the covenants of promise you had no hope you were without Yahweh in this world now let's go and read uh and and I believe it is yeah it is the same chapter verse 19 now therefore you are no more strangers and for foreigners but you are fellow citizens with the Saints and the household of Yahweh now the only household of Yahweh that's ever been and that ever will be is the family of Yahweh which is his firstborn son Israel now let's go to Ephesians chap 2 and verse 11 wherefore remember that you being in times past Gentiles now notice that carefully stop and read that again Paul says to the Believers that were not born of the natural lineage he said in times past you were Gentiles you were wretched Sinners you were horrible you had no hope you were not of the promise but notice what he says you and he's talking to you that's watching me now in times past you were Gentiles what that means is right now if you've been redeemed by the blood of Messiah you've gone through water baptism in his name you've received the infilling of the Holy Spirit the ruach cadesh you are no longer a gentile and you need to to change from your Gentile way of thinking from your American way of thinking from your European way of thinking from your African way of thinking you need to come into this holy nation of Israelites now listen we've got all kind of crazy stuff going on out there we've got the black folks that believe they're Israelites we've got the Caucasians that believe they're Israelites but I'm going to prove to you today who the Israelites really are now by the way if um if you've not ordered our books they're free of charge we'll be happy to send them out to you we have over 22 books here that we've written to help you on this journey of your faith now let's do this let's go to Deuteronomy chapter 5 we're going to find out who the Israelites are today we know who they were in the Old Testament but indeed who are they today are they a race of people is it a certain color is it a certain who are these folks that are Israelites let's go to Deuteronomy 5: 1-2 and Moses called All of Israel and said to them here o Israel the laws and the Commandments which I speak in your hearing today and you shall learn them and guard them our Elohim made a covenant with us in Horeb now who was the original covenant made with it was made with Israel and now the Covenant that Yahweh made with Israel go read about it I'll put the scripture references in the comments but go read about when Yahweh came down on the mountain and made a covenant with Israel what did he give Moses the Commandments and Israel made an agreement that day to obey those Commandments they told Yahweh all that you have said we will do that was the Covenant remember when you're studying on the Covenant the word covenant is simply an agreement if you and I make an agreement that I'm going to paint your house for $1,000 that agreement is good as long as the terms of the Covenant is met we have entered into a a covenant a marriage is a covenant until death do us part so long as the terms of the marriage are kept now yahweh's first Covenant was with Israel and I want you to know that in the New Covenant we always talk about the New Covenant we always talk about brother van I am under the New Covenant I'm not under the old Covenant I would say to you most respectfully that most ministers and Christians that I have met myself included in times past have absolutely no idea what the New Covenant is you really don't now we want to talk about the blood of Yeshua and Jesus how it's sealed and redeemed us but actually the blood was simply the Seal of the New Covenant now the word new is a little misleading there it's not a New Covenant it's a renewed or a refresh or a restored Covenant now the New Covenant that Yahweh has made with us you and I is no different than the first Covenant absolutely now you won't hear that in your church Sunday you'll hear that somehow Yahweh has changeed that all of a sudden his laws and his Commandments mean nothing to him anymore more as long as you believe that yua died for your sins then you're are part of the New Covenant but brothers and sisters if you will go read the book of Jeremiah chapter 31 and study on this renewed covenant What you're going to find is that the renewed Covenant has the exact same Commandments as the old Covenant there was a problem with the old Covenant and um the problem was and and I tell you what I'm just going to pull that scripture up for you because it um um actually it's worth us reading there was a problem with the New Covenant or the old Covenant rather but it was not the fact that the Covenant was bad not at all um the Covenant was a good Covenant Yahweh made a good Covenant with his people if you will obey me I will be your y your God you will be my people but there was one problem and let's go read read uh Hebrews chapter 8 and I'll show you what the problem was it was not a problem everybody loves to talk about the New Covenant but brothers and sisters the New Covenant is the exact same as the old Covenant the only difference is um that the old Covenant was sealed with with blood that would not seal an eternal Covenant yua came and sealed the Covenant let's read Hebrews chapter 8 and why don't we start with verse number six for now he has obtained a more excellent Ministry by how much also he is the mediator of a better Covenant now hold on so right there everyone responds you see brother Von this we're under a better Covenant uh we're free from all the laws of God but that is not what it says the reason that it's a better Covenant is because this Covenant has found a way to do what the first covenant could not do and that is to get internally inside of our minds and our thinking under the first Covenant we were commanded to obey Yahweh all of his laws and his statutes but because of the sin nature because of the adamic nature we were powerless to do so on our own even someone like David that loved the Covenant of yah he said he meditated on the law day and night but even he was powerless to keep this law completely but yet Yahweh wants us to keep his law so the reason the New Covenant is better or the renewed Covenant is better is not because the Covenant changed let's read verse number six which was established upon better promises what does that mean it's very simple the first Covenant was a promise of blessings and temporal blessings it was a covenant where if you obey me I'll give you the good of the land I'll bless your children your first fruit but we find no Eternal promise given to the Natural children of Israel whereas Yeshua has come and shed his blood sealed this Covenant gave us a promise of eternal life if we keep this Covenant now let's go to Hebrews 8 and 7 for if the first Covenant had been faultless or without fault or in other words if the first Covenant would have been perfect then should no place have been sought for a second Covenant now that is where the Christian Church says you see the first Covenant The Ten Commandments the laws they were faulty they were not perfect that's what it seems to say until you continue reading and practice the art of Isa Jesus which is the culminating and the piecing together of all of the scripture rather than isolating um ISO Jesus isolating ex Jesus is when you explore all of it and bring it together let's do that let's go to the next verse and find out why the first Covenant based upon the law was not perfect verse 8 for finding fault with them underline that word in your Bible Circle it highlight it do whatever you need to do and read it again for finding fault with them not with his covenant not with the law not with the Ten Commandments the fault was with who a people the Israelites natural stubborn rebellious Israel the problem with the first Covenant was that it found no Dwelling Place internally in the thought process of the Israelites he said because of this behold the days come saith Yahweh when I will make a New Covenant or a renewed Covenant with the house of Israel not with the Gentiles oh no no no Yahweh has not made a covenant with the Gentiles this New Covenant is only with Israel and if you're not an Israelite you're not part of the new or the renewed Covenant it really is that simple and then um let's go down to verse 10 and read what this renewed Covenant that he's making with Israel today is for this is the C after those days sayith Yahweh I will put my law into their Spirit or their mind their thinking I will take the Commandments from Stone and I will put them into their mind what a beautiful understanding we have now he said I will put that in in their mind and write them in their minds I will write my Commandments when the ruach cesh the Holy Spirit the Holy Ghost comes in he will do a much greater work than speaking in tongues or Healing The Sick but the greatest work he will ever do is writing the Covenant the terms of the Covenant into your thinking brother and sister my dear Pentecostal friends you get so worked up over speaking in tongues while you openly defy the Commandments of Yahweh how do I do that you say let's just start with the first one uh you shall have no other gods before me and yet every Christmas Easter Halloween all these Pagan false gods you're right out there worshiping them as innocently as you may seem you've heard the truth there's no more excuse for you yet you chase after them the the Holy Spirit comes in to convert you from a gentile to an Israelite to cause you to quit loving the things of the Gentile world and you fall in love with the things of the Israelite uh mindset now the day is coming and after these two days that we're in now the 5ifth and the 6000th year in the 7,000th year this Covenant will come up on every human being on our planet did you know the day is soon to come when every person on planet Earth will be filled with the Holy Spirit it will fill All Flesh during the Millennium Reign after those days he will then write this Covenant with every human being but right now he is writing that Covenant with a remnant of Israel a prototype of what is to come worldwide is now being written in the heart of the first harvest if you've not watched our video on the first second and third Harvest I beg you to do so after this lesson go to YouTube subscribe to our Channel and watch our lesson on the first second and third Harvest now let's get our Bibles and let's keep reading now before we go to the next verse which is going to be in Hosea I want to explain something to you let's go to Ephesians actually let's go to Ephesians 5 25 the scripture is too good to pass up Ephesians 5:25 through 27 husbands love your wives now listen if you're watching me and you don't have your Bible open reading these scriptures for yourself circling them underline them you're doing yourself no good quit listening to everybody teach and study to show yourself approved unto Yahweh husbands love your wives as Messiah has loved the assembly and gave himself for it in order to sanctify it and cleanse it with the washing of Water by the word I want you to notice something in this verse Yeshua gave his life for the church his blood for the assembly but that was not the per the purpose of the blood was not just to save you but notice in the next verse that the reason he gave his blood was to sanctify you and how does he sanctify you not by the blood oh no no no that's what the church teaches that it's all in the blood but there is another step after Passover and it's the Feast of unleavened bread which represents sanctification he died shed his blood to start the process of sanctifying you how does he do that it tells you right there um he cleanses you by the washing of the Torah or the word of God see now is when the word comes into play and begins to clean you up it begins to bring the law what is the word well actually the Ten Commandments is a bad translation it should say the 10 word words the word that he begins to clean you with is his Commandments oh yeah the blood's not enough that'll get me thrown out of a lot of churches especially those that are so stuck on the finished work of the Cross let me tell you something the cross was not the Finish darling the cross was the beginning and when you stay hugging the cross without running the race running through the waters of baptism running through the waters of sanctification becoming engrossed with the Commandments of our yah and being separated you've been deceived by Christianity or Christianity that twisti they twist this word why does he want to clean you up because he's got a plan for you to present you present you to himself a splendid Assembly not having spot or wrinkle or any of this sort but that it might be holy and blameless you see the Covenant is to make you holy the blood oh Lord the blood does not got to be careful the blood doesn't make you holy the Commandments do but you cannot keep the Commandments the word without the blood because the blood set you apart for the infilling of the Holy Spirit Spirit where the law of God is then written in your mind what law I thought the law was done away with well let's keep reading the Christian Church would like to think that it is part of the assembly and uh there are many parables in the word of God where yua Compares his church to the bride let's go to Hosea 2 verse 19 turn there quickly pause this video turn to Hosea 2 and 19 I want you to study this for yourself we have a Bible College at first Harvest Ministries which is about a 24mon course that we allow you to go through and uh we give degrees all the way up to the doctorate level that is a 54 Monon course for the doctorate but you can go incrementally and I encourage you today to contact us about our Bible College anyway let's go to Hosea 2 and: 19 the first lesson we teach in our Bible College is this right here Israel who is Israel Hosea 2:19 and I will take you he's talking to Israel as a bride unto me forever and take you as a bride unto me in righteousness the only way that yah is going to allow you to come past the outer Court into the holy of holies is if you're walking in righteousness it is imperative that you understand that there are two parts to yahweh's called out people many are called that's the church that's the assembly many are called but only a few will be chosen that's the bride the bride comes out of the body of Christ remember Adam Yahweh laid him down to sleep and from the body takes out a choice part which is the bride the second Adam or the final Adam rather died on Calvary he was laid down to die he went to sleep into a deep sleep just like Adam did and from his side came forth the blood and the water it takes blood and water to produce the bride because it is the water of the word that sanctifies us and brings us past the outer Court when we get into the kingdom of God there will be many that are least in the Kingdom oh absolutely if you've not watched our video on the 3060 and 100 fold you need to watch it subscribe to our YouTube channel right now and watch that video now who was this promise made to about being my bride forever was it made to a gentile absolutely not not there will not be one Gentile in The Bride of Messiah now there will be Gentiles outside the city of the New Jerusalem but inside the CI is where the bride will dwell there will not be one Gentile there I don't want you from this day forward to ever be confused by the term Israelites and Jews we are we do not consider oursel to be Jews we consider oursel to be Israelites these two terms are not the same do not get them mixed up or else you'll always think that this is Jewish what we are doing but the term Jew like I said earlier is derived from the tribe of Judah now listen very carefully let's go to Isaiah 56 verse 6 again Push pause and turn to Isaiah 56 and verse 6 I'm not teaching cuz I have nothing else to do I have a business that own that keeps me busy six days a week I have a family I support we have a Ministry that we operate so I'm not teaching if you're not going to get your Bible please get your Bible and turn to Isaiah 56 and verse 6 also the son of the Foreigner which is the Gentiles write that word Gentile right there the son of the Gentiles is foreigners so anytime you see the word Foreigner it's speaking about anything that's not an Israelite but notice this even in the Old Testament Gentiles could get quote unquote saved and joined the nation of Israel they did not have to be born an Israelite there was a conversion process they had to be baptized or Mikvah they had to be circumcised and they had to agree to keep the Covenant of Israel so even in those days there was a way for Gentiles to be saved just like today if you now let's keep reading it says also the son of the Foreigner who joins himself to yah to serve him and to love the name now I want you to underline I'm fixing to give you the three qualifications or the three identifications of a true Israelite in the Old Testament if you were to join Israel there was three identifying marks that made you an Israelite number one you had to love the name now let's stop a minute to this day uh and up through the centuries It is believed that the tetr Graton the sacred name is Yahweh many people believe it's yahovah or yahovah many people believe it's yahu this ministry does not argue over the name as we believe that it is close to Impossible at this time to say with certainty what the name is now we do know that everyone agrees that yah is in the name a predominant part of that name and so therefore we say yah because we're very comfortable with that but that that all of that is irrelevant your desire to know the name to speak the name is proof that you love the name whether you get the name exactly right or not is a moot point because your love for the name is your desire to know the name next let's keep reading if you love the name and if you desire to be his servants and who guard the Sabbath that's the second identific identifying Mark of a true Israelite number one you had to love the name and which that name is not lord it's not father it's not Eternal one it's not um uh any of it's not God now there's times now we don't we don't judge anyone that uses the word God as there are times when that is proper but but to not want to know his name is not the characteristic of an Israelite okay the next thing they will guard if they're going to join Israel they got to love the name and then they've got to guard not just keep that word keep the Sabbath literally means guard the Sabbath they must guard the Sabbath then not profane it and hold fast to my Covenant now what does that mean my Covenant he's talking about the Covenant he made with them at Mount SII in Horeb when he gave them the Ten Commandments as their Covenant their marriage covenant so the three identifying marks of the Bride of yua which is Israel is one more time they love the name they guard the shab thought and they hold fast to the law of yah that's the three identifying marks that's why the majority of Christianity Today is not going to be in The Bride of Messiah now let's go to uh Romans 11:17 again turn there right now please Romans 11 17 and if some of the branches were broken off and you talk about the Gentiles now being a wild Olive Tree now I say that's the Gentiles technically it's the Lost tribes of Israel that live among the Gentiles they are identifying themselves as Gentiles they've been convinced that they are Gentiles because they've lost their identity through the eons of time but he said you were a wild Olive Branch and have been grafted in among them who is this them Israel Israel he said the Wild Olive Branch which is you and I that have joined ourself to Israel and came to share the root and the fatness of the Covenant of Israel now let's go to Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 11 one more time therefore remember that you once was a gentile amen but you are no longer a gentile now much of the misunderstanding that many people have good Christian people that I love dearly I was one of them at one time it's hard for them to grasp the Sabbath day the holy days eating clean all of these things because it looks like we're going back to the law but the problem is they don't understand that the renewed Covenant is built upon the Ten Commandment law of Yahweh I have a video on our YouTube Channel and it's entitled it's time for you to understand the law you need to watch that video okay now much of the misunderstanding beneath the simp this simple truth is again the fault of the mother Harlot Church the Babylonian Church Roman Catholicism because it hated it literally hated anything Jewish you can go back and read the writings not just of the Catholic Church Martin Luther who began the Protestant church hat hated the Jewish people the Catholic Church hated the Jewish people and in their mind rightfully so they thought that the kills the Jews killed the Messiah but in fact the Jews were predestined to do it that you and I might be saved amen now go with me to Revelation and we're going to close with this verse Revelation 2 verse 9 through verse 12 Revelation 2 9-12 and one of the seven Messengers who held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and spoke with me saying come I will show you the bride the New Jerusalem or the Lamb's wife and he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great City the new or the holy yerusalem Jerusalem descending out of the sky from God having the esteem of God and her light was like a most precious stone like a jasper stone clear as Crystal having a great and high wall having 12 gates now a gate is an entrance the only way into this New Jerusalem which is the bride remember many are called that's the church that's the whole assembly that's those in the outer court but only a few are chosen to come into the bride and U and into that bride there's 12 gates and at the gate there's 12 Messengers and the names written on them are the 12 tribes of the children of Israel if the new yerusalem is the Bride of Messiah there is 12 ways into that bride and on those 12 waves is the name of Israel there's not one Gentile gate in that City not one you will never enter into the bride if you are a gentile so how and what makes us an Israelite you must be circumcised by the Holy Spirit he comes into your life and cuts off the flesh why does he cut off the flesh because the flesh hates the law of Yahweh the Bible said the flesh the carnal mind will never submit to the Commandments the Sabbath The Holy Days eat and clean it will never submit to that it flesh is the enmity of Yahweh so therefore if you are going to be an Israelite if you're ever going to be an Israelite then that rebellious nature can must be removed the only way it can be removed or circumcised is when the ruach cadesh the Holy Spirit comes into your mind and begins to change you from a g Gentile Pagan to a commandment keeping Israelite May yah bless and keep every one of you I love each of you uh we get responses around the world I thank every one of you
