Israel 101 - Part 11 - Pastor Shane Vaughn - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecvA9MjTYJo Transcript: (00:00) Let's go and open the word of God. We're going straight to the book of Hosea today. Hosea chapter 1 and we're going to begin at verse 1. Elder Morgan, I'm ready when you are. Yes, sir. The word of the The word of Yahweh that came unto Hosea, the son of Beer I, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel. (00:37) So, this verse is telling you who the author is. His name is Hosea, who his father was, and at what time period he was a prophet to the house of Israel. Now, you need to know this about Hosea. Hosea was a prophet not to the Jewish people. If you want to put that in your notes. Hosea was a prophet to the lost tribes of the house of Israel. (01:15) That's who his calling was to. Was to the house of Israel. Now, why is that important? Because every Christian that you know of, every minister you know, believes that Hosea was writing to the Jewish people. Now, why is that? Because they don't know what you know. They don't understand what you are so blessed to understand that there was a difference in the two houses. (01:48) Now, first, I want to explain to you what the name Hosea uh means so that you can uh understand. Let's see if we can go there, 1 second. There we go. All right. The name Hosea, right here on the screen, uh it can also be pronounced Oshea. And what does Hosea mean? Salvation. Salvation. Now, interestingly enough, Hosea, it's pronounced Hoshea, Hosea, or Oshea, and it means salvation. (02:41) Interestingly enough, if you click on the root word, it is the name Yeshua. And it means savior. Save. Now, what would happen if I was to call Hosea a savior? They would crucify me again on Right Wing Watch for calling a man a savior. But in fact, Hosea was a savior. His name is Yeshua, which means salvation. Now, I want to show you that uh the name Yeshua, or Hosea, they're both the same name, means deliverer, as well. (03:32) But it was also the name of who we often call Joshua. If you go to Numbers 13 and 8, when it speaks about Joshua, notice what it says. He was of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea, the son of Nun. Verse 16. These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Yahshua or Yeshua. (04:09) Now, why am I showing you all of this? So that you can understand who Hosea is. Hosea is a shadow of Yeshua. Okay? You need to understand that uh as we progress into this study. Now, Hosea is going to act out a play in the book of Hosea. Hosea is going to be the main character and there's going to be one other protagonist, main characters, and we'll study that other character in a moment. (04:50) So, in this play that we're about to read, Yeshua is going to be the husband of the bride of Christ. He is going to be an intercessor. What is Yeshua doing for us right now? He is interceding for one group of people. Who is Yeshua interceding for at this time? Israel. Israel. The ascended remnant of Israel. Spe- specifically, the lost tribes remnant Israel of the lost tribes. (05:33) Now, Yeshua said, "I don't pray for the world right now. It's not time for the world." And by the way, do y'all realize how blessed you are to understand that? Do you know how so few people understand what I just said. Um so in this story in the book of Hosea, this is not about the Jewish people. (05:58) It is imperative that you understand that when reading the book of Hosea. Now, he's going to be an intercessor and you're going to watch Hosea walk out in his physical life. You're going to watch him walk out a prophecy concerning the house of Israel. That makes him a type of Christ or a shadow. Now, Hosea is going to marry a in this story. (06:33) In this drama, I want every one of you in this study today in your mind to be sitting in a theater looking up at the stage and watch the acts of this prophecy playing out on a stage before you. So our protagonist is going to marry a even though he is a type of Christ. He is a holy man. He, Yeshua, Hosea, Oshea or Joshua. (07:12) Isn't that amazing how all those names flow throughout the scriptures? Cuz the whole Bible speaks of Yeshua. He is going to experience the pain of adultery. And in this story, you're going to see Hosea experience the pain of being married to a And this is the story of you and I. If you are an Israelite, the whole book of Hosea is a story about you. (07:57) In this story, you're going to see a tragedy. You're going to see the bride of Hosea or the bride of Yeshua divorced. You're going to see the pain of divorce. And yet, you're going to see the greatest redemption and restoration. This entire message we preach is a message of restoration. You're going to see the failure of Israel, but you're going to see the success of Yeshua. (08:38) You're going to see a tale of tragedy and triumph all in this story today. How many loves a good book that tells of tragedy and triumph? Amen. It makes a great movie that you're all a part of. Every one of you are cast members of this movie. All right. Now, you're going to have to be very patient with me today because I'm going to get into some analytical boring things, okay? Uh they're going to seem boring because I've got to lay a foundation of historical facts before I can get to the good stuff. (09:25) So, if you're taking notes, it's going to get a little analytical here, but you must understand the historical context of the book of Hosea. And only when you truly understand the history can you understand the future. So, that's why we've got to concrete the history today so you can know the future. Now, Hosea, according to verse 1, is the son of Beerai. (10:01) The word Beerai means my fountain. The word beer, b e e r, means a fountain or a well. Now you know why people drink beer like it's coming out of a fountain because beer literally means fountain or well. Just like the town of Beersheba means the well of promises. So, in this story the Hebrew word for beer, the root word is bar, b e e r. (10:36) Isn't that interesting? You get a beer from a bar. And what does the word bar mean? Well, remember dabar? Bar means to make clear, to make plain, to engrave. So, therefore, the father Beerai in this story is father Yahweh. And so, it is through his son Yeshua that he is going to make plain. What does bar mean? Make plain, make clear, to explain, to engrave. (11:18) He is going to make clear to the world his mercy and grace through Hosea marrying a So, father Beer-i is going to make his character and his love perfectly clear through his son. And that is why the son says, "When you've seen me, you have seen the Father." Amen. "When you see me, I'm going to make the Father clear. (12:02) I'm going to make the Father plain. You know what kills me is that people think that Yeshua is the good guy and Yahweh is the bad guy. That's how we've always thought of it. But in fact, all Yeshua is doing is making plain the goodness of Yahweh. Amen. Amen. Amen. He has come to engrave on your mind the greatness of his father, Yahweh. (12:41) Because Yahweh gets a bad rap. Marcion hated Yahweh because Yahweh seemed to be the evil one or the bad one. So, Hosea is a picture of Yeshua representing the Father's love and to clarify the Father's nature towards an adulterous wife. Hosea is an intercessor, not just someone that prays for another person, but someone that walks out the prophecy in his own life. (13:21) His heartache of a failed marriage is a living prayer. And this, in the book of Hosea, you're going to find the plan of God for the whole world. Now, Hosea prophesied during the time of four kings, according to verse one. We're still in verse one, everybody. His prophecy spanned a time period of four kings. (13:56) Name those kings for me, Elder Morgan. Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. So, he's telling you the time period that he was alive giving his prophecy. Now, Hosea actually lived in Jerusalem. But, his proph- That's why he mentions the kings of Judah. That is not the kings of Israel. That's the kings of Judah. And his prophecy was given during their time. (14:35) That means what? That means that Hezekiah gave his prophecy years before he watched it with his own eyes come to pass. Now, who is another prophet that was living at the exact same time as Hosea? Does anybody know? Isaiah. Isaiah. Isaiah. Isaiah. Isaiah and Hosea are both prophets that lived during the reigns of Jotham. (15:18) How long did Jotham reign? 16 years. Ahaz reigned 16 years. Hezekiah, so during all of these reigns, Isaiah and Hezekiah are both prophesying. So, when you read those two books now, when you read Isaiah, when you read Hosea, it is all about the lost tribes. That means that Hosea began but Hosea began to prophesy about 50 years before Isaiah. (15:54) It's imperative you get I told you it's going to be boring at first because you've got to see where where this is leading. Isaiah prophesied 40 years before Isaiah's ministry began. Now, he married a woman by the name of Gomer. And we are given very few hints about his marriage to Gomer, but we do know they were married long enough to have three children. (16:33) Keep that in mind. Hosea and Gomer had three children. After the third child, she leaves him for another man or to become a harlot. By the time that Uzziah dies, those three children are all adults. Hosea lived to a very old age. He prophesied during the last 40 years of Uzziah's reign. He prophesied during the 16 years of Jotham's reign. (17:20) He prophesied through the 16 years of Ahaz's reign. So, that's 72 years that he prophesied, and then he prophesied into the reign of King Hezekiah. So, therefore, we know that he was preaching for 75 years. That means he started preaching when he was 20 years old, and he lived into his 90s. Now, we know according to Second Kings 17 and 1, that he lived long enough to see his prophecy come to pass. (18:11) Read that for me, elder, if you have it. Second Kings 17 and 1. In the 12th year of Ahaz, king of Judah, began Hosea, the son of Elah, to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. All right. Now, do you know, if you didn't have this ministry, when you read this verse, you would be very confused. It says Ahaz is king of Judah, Yes. and then Hosea is king of Israel. (18:47) You would not have understood that. So, what do we have going on here? Over in Jerusalem, Ahaz is king. Who was a Ahaz? I'll explain it in a moment. But, notice who becomes king after Hosea gives his prophecy. Guess who becomes king of Israel? Another Hosea. Do you see that? Okay? Notice that carefully. Hoshea, which is Hosea, is now king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years. (19:34) Why is that important? Because you're about to find out how Hosea gave a prophecy, lived it out with Gomer, and then was alive to see Hosea fulfill the prophecy with another Gomer right in front of Hosea's eyes. Y'all with me still? I realize it's a little tedious. Is everybody still with me? Okay. All right. (20:06) I know y'all not jumping and screaming, but you will when when I get done. Can you just repeat that? I had a I have a little baby here. Um Okay. Just the part about who how who's the king Hosea? He wasn't related to Hosea, was he? No, ma'am. Totally unrelated. As a matter of fact, Hosea the prophet lived in Jerusalem, but Hosea the king is in Samaria in Israel. Okay. (20:31) What What was the headquarters of Israel, everyone? Samaria. Samaria. Thank you. Headquarters of Israel was Samaria. What's the headquarters of Judah? Jerusalem. There you go. Anybody learning anything? All right. All right. Now, we need to understand Hosea the prophet is different than Hosea the king. Hosea gives a prophecy before Hosea the king comes on the throne. (21:16) But, here's where it gets very interesting. When the Assyrians captured Israel, the 10 tribes of Israel, they did not call Israel by the name of Israel. Guess what the name of Israel was when she was captured by Assyria. They renamed her. Israel. Okay. Anyone else want to take a guess? Canaan. Okay. Anyone else? Gomer. (22:01) There. Who said Gomer? I did. Christian. Who is I? Christian. Okay. There you go. When Israel was captured by Assyria, they changed her name to Gomer, g o m e r. So, now who was king of Israel when Israel was captured by the Assyrians? Hosea was. And what's the name of the woman that King Hosea is king over? Gomer. Gomer. (22:47) The her name to the Assyrians was Gomer. Now, that name throughout history, as you begin to study today, was pronounced two different ways. Gimry, g i m i r r i or Ghomri, g h o m r i. It's spelled both ways in history. And guess who was alive? Guess who was alive to sit back and watch the story. Oh, it's so powerful. Decades earlier, the prophet Hosea marries a named Gomer. (23:36) And this prophet sits back and watches a king by his name married to a woman by the name of his wife Gomer. He watched it fulfilled before his very eyes. Wow. Amen. Amen. The Assyrians never called Israel by the name Israel. Why is that? Because when you divorce a woman, you take your name back from her. And Yahweh divorced Israel. (24:19) And therefore, Israel, the name belongs to Yahweh. He takes her name away from her and renames her Ghimri or Gomer or Ghomri. And the Assyrians renamed her. Now, the Assyrians, why did they name her Gomer or Ghomri? Why did that happen? Where did they get that name from? It's very simple. The Assyrians begin to do business with Israel years before they conquered Israel. (25:06) And as they were doing business with Israel, guess who was the king of Israel at that time? Omri, O M R I. King Omri. Later, it was pronounced Beth Gomery or Bit Kumri or Beth Humria. And I'm going to show you that right now. I'm going to say pull up that graphic for you. Bear with me 1 second. I'm going to show you this historical proof so you understand. (25:53) There we go. Let's see. There it is. All right. This is from the encyclopedia. It says the initial contact between Israel and Assyria occurred during Omri's day. For from that time on, Israel appears in all the records as Bit Humri, which means what? House of Omri. This official appellation was applied to Samaria, the capital city. (26:35) Moreover, the designation of an Israelite king was Mar Humri or son or royal successor of Omri. Tiglath-Pileser the third's reference to the land of Israel over a century later. That's a hundred years later. What is Israel being called? Bit Humria which is proves that Omri was the ruler of the history of Israel. (27:07) Now, why is this important? You're going to find out when I start proving to you who Israel is today. Now, Omri or Humri was originally pronounced Gomer or Gomri. I'll show that to you now. All the proof you need is in the encyclopedia. It is noteworthy that the Assyrian form of the name Jehu shows the aleph at the end was not sounded. (27:44) So, that the Hebrews must have called him Hayua. Omri was pronounced in accordance with that system as what? Gomri. Okay? I hate having to teach like this because it slows my roll down, but I've got to explain to you all of these things so you understand who we're talking about here. Now, I'll show you another graphic. (28:17) Watch this. Later on, they became known as Simbri instead of Omri as the language began to change. And according to the encyclopedia, watch this. Omri was the progenitor of the Cimmerians and the Cimbri from which are descended the Celtics. Okay? So, the Celtics came from these lost tribes. Gomer is where the Celtics came from is Gomer. (29:05) Now, this is all historical information, and that's what makes Hosea's prophecy so remarkable. Because it portrays Israel as a harlot wife by the same name that the Assyrians knew the nation of Israel. There is no doubt that Hosea's wife Gomer was the wife of Hosea the prophet and the nation of Israel. The name Gomer literally means complete. (29:40) That's what the name Gomer means. It's derived from the root word gamar, which means what? The end. To cease. To leave off. To fail. Her very name prophesies what? The end. The end. Of the house of Israel. And this prophecy is going to reflect that over and over and over. The end of the house of Israel. Have you ever wondered how we were so lost? How we totally disappeared from history? I'll tell you. (30:30) The end. The end. Those bones are going to be very dry. Not just dry, the end. Over. Not a Gomer's end was illustrated with her failed marriage to Hosea. However, that's the root word of the name Gomer. Oh, hallelujah. Ah, the root word is uh gamar, which means the end. But Gomer actually has a fuller meaning. It means complete. (31:19) And even though Gomer is a type of the end of the house of Israel, I'm going to prove to you that she's also going to represent the completion of the house of Israel after it has ended. Amen. Anybody awake today? Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. All right. So, Gomer means the end and the completion. It's both names. (31:54) The name mean both things. Gomer's end was illustrated by her failed marriage to Hosea. Yet at the same time, her bondage is going to lead to the full completion of the plan of Yahweh for all humanity. The first is a negative. The second is a positive. The first meaning of her name is the end of her marriage. The second meaning of her name is the redemption of all mankind. (32:40) So, you need to know today the book of Hosea is not a story about the Jewish people. Do you know how many people don't know that? How about 80 90% of Christianity thinks this is about the Jewish people. Why am I harping on this? Because I have one ministry. That ministry is to be a voice of Elijah to turn your hearts back to the fathers of Israel. (33:13) Not the fathers of the Jews, but the fathers of Israel, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So, this story is about Joseph, not Judah, who carries the birthright. Now, why is this story so unknown to the Christian church? How did we get so lost? I'm going to explain it. Ezekiel 34 and verse 6. Let's turn there. Ezekiel 34 and 6. Amen. (33:56) When before you read that, I want to show you how the church has failed. The church is looking for lost souls. Every church you know of, they have altar calls seeking to save the lost, lost souls. But here's where they failed. Let's read. My sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill. Yeah, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth and none did search or seek after them. (34:34) Wow. Wow. How did we get so lost? Nobody ever sought for them. Nobody ever was trying to save the lost sheep of Israel. They were trying to save the Jews. I wish somebody would help me right now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Until you came pastor Come on now. Come on elder. Listen. Everybody's trying to get the Jews saved. (35:15) Nobody's reaching for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Can I prove it to you? Glory. Uh the Baptist church, they're trying to save lost sinners. The Pentecostal church, trying to get sinners saved. Nobody is seeking after the lost tribes. Why? Because they think they're dead. Glory to God. Did you see that? Nobody seeks after And now you know why when Yeshua came, he said, "I'm only here for the lost sheep seek after the lost sheep of the house of house of Israel. (36:07) And any true ministry today that has the ministry of Christ, they're only looking for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. That's how you know when you're in a true end-time ministry. They're looking for the same thing Yeshua was looking for. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. So, how did how did Bible students get so lost? How did they not look for us? How did they not look for the lost tribes? Because they didn't realize that Yahweh took his name back from us. (37:02) And so, when they're looking through history they're looking for the word Israel. And they can't find it in any of the records. There's a reason for that. Because our name was no longer Israel, it was Gomer. And therefore, when they're looking through history, they're not looking for the groups of people known as the Gomeri, g h o m r i. (37:34) They don't know to look for the people known as Kumri, k h u m r i. Or Humri, h u m r i a. If they would have known our name, they would have traced us all throughout Europe by the historical record. Hallelujah. they're looking for the name Israel or the name Jew. The reason we got so lost is we're divorced. It would be like right now if every one of you was trying to look for someone, a lady that you knew way back and you knew her by the name Johnson. (38:21) And you're searching all over Facebook for Johnson. But she was divorced since then and now her name is Smith. You don't know to look for a Smith. And therefore, she's lost. She won't be lost if you'll know her new name and just look for it through history, you'll find her. Hidden? Hidden by Hidden. Hidden. On purpose. Why? She's divorced. (38:59) Has to come through She's put Say it again. Has to come through Yeshua. Come on now. She's been what? Put away. Hidden from the world. Hidden Hallelujah. She has been hidden all throughout Europe where she traveled. She was hidden. The entire foundation of prophecy teaching is missing this key ingredient. Go listen to Go listen to uh uh Perry Stone. (39:41) Go listen to uh Baxter. Go listen to all Jack Van Impe, all They're all wrong. And do you know why? They're missing what end time prophecy is all about. They thought end time prophecy was about the Jews. No, end time prophecy is about Gomer because the word Gomer means complete. Prophecy will be complete when Gomer has been redeemed. (40:15) She will complete the story. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory! The Jews don't come into the picture until time shall be no more and the seventh day begins. But the sixth day is complete when Gomer is returned to Hosea Yeshua. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah. Glory! And it's happening. Hallelujah. Come on now, it is happening. (40:51) Gomer must be re-identified. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's why the Apostle Paul says, "In times past, you were Gomer. You were Gentile. Your name was mispronounced. Your name was misidentified. But now, you have been reunited with the Commonwealth of Israel, no longer Gomer. Are no longer Gentile. Hallelujah. Amen. (41:31) Until you understand the story of Gomer and Hosea, you cannot understand prophecy. You cannot understand what Yahweh is doing in the last days. You cannot understand it at all until you understand end-time prophecy. Amen. Praise Yahweh. Now, I want to explain to you now a little more in-depth and then we're going to bring this story together. (42:05) Let's read verse two of Hosea chapter one. It took me uh 47 minutes to teach verse one. Let's see what we can get out of verse number two. Amen. The beginning of the word of Yahweh by Hosea. And Yahweh said to Hosea, "Go go take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms, for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from Yahweh. (42:38) " Hosea, go marry a Go marry a Because Hosea, I want you to feel and experience what I, Yahweh, beerai, have experienced. I want to make it plain through you Wow. what I've experienced with this adulterous people called the house of Israel. Hosea, before you marry her, you already know it's going to be a painful marriage. (43:17) Yahweh is making plain that he knew before he married Israel at Mount Sinai that it was going to be a painful marriage. He saw the end from the beginning. He knew she was a and yet took her in her condition because he called her what she was going to be complete even though he knew in the beginning she would be an end and a failure. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. (43:47) Amen. Amen and amen. that are not as if they are. Hallelujah. Gomer means a failure, the end. Oh, but there's another meaning of the name that Yahweh saw from the beginning and it means complete. Let's read how Yahweh knew in Ezekiel 16 and 8 that he was marrying a I want you to read this verse, one of my favorite verses in the Bible. (44:27) Because this is the story of you and me. Amen. Ezekiel 16 and 8. Now when I passed by thee and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love. All right, listen carefully. I chose you, Israel, out of love for you. He said, "But I knew who you was before I loved you. I knew you were a I knew you'd become a Sunday worshiper instead of a Sabbath worshiper. (45:08) I knew you'd become a Christmas keeper instead of my feast. You always want to go chase after your other men. I knew who you were. I knew that you would forsake my commandments. But listen what I did. Read. And I spread my skirt or my wing over you. Oh, I put my tallit over you anyhow. I covered you with my skirt. (45:38) I covered you with my prayer shawl. I covered you with my tallit and I covered your nakedness. Hallelujah. Read. And covered thy nakedness. Yea, I swear unto thee and entered into a covenant with thee, saith Yahweh Elohim, and thou becamest mine. I entered into a covenant with you in spite of you. I saw Gomer as not being the end what her name means. (46:15) But I saw her being the complete plan of redemption that I had in my mind before I ever created the world. So while you were naked, I went ahead and covered you up anyway. I tried to call a a lady. I tried to call a a wife, and in fact, I did call you that, and I told you that you would become what I said you would become. (46:45) I covered your nakedness. I wish somebody would say amen to that. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I'll say it. Hallelujah. I'll say it. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. This this is good, pastor. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. There's a song that says these words. He's He saw not what I was, but he saw what I could be. (47:15) When he reached his hands to where I was, he took a chance on me. All he had to hope for was a possibility. But still he saw not what I was. He saw what I could be. That's what he did for Israel. He saw what she would be, and he covered her nakedness until the became a lady. Uh it Pastor, is this mystery Babylon? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. (48:03) Oh, yes. And the skirt that he's going to cover her with when he calls her out of that Babylon, the skirt that he's going to cover with is his tallit. That's why we wear tallits today. It is a symbol of his skirt covering us sinners, even though he says we're without sin. We know better. Even though, hallelujah, when the Bible said he that's begotten of God does not sin, but we know that we do. (48:32) But that's okay, because with his skirt, there's a prophecy in the skirt. Oh my God. There's a prophecy and an identity in the skirt that we are Gomer and we are complete before we're even complete. Goodbye guilt. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's why Judy calls it. We have a bloody backup. (49:08) We have a bloody backup until we get until we get up. Glory. We are seated together with Christ right now in heavenly places, even though we don't deserve it. That's why when people say we preach works here, I want to laugh at them. Our entire message is that we're covered by the skirt of redemption until the acts like a lady. (49:43) We are already called a lady while we're a Hallelujah. I don't know about but I'm thankful today. Whenever Yahweh married Israel, he knew it wouldn't be a happy one. Not for him. He understood from the beginning. That's why he told Yeshua, his son, the reason Yeshua had to experience the pain of rejection by the Jewish people is to make it plain through Yeshua what be right or Yahweh experienced with ancient Israel. (50:30) Come on, pastor. It's the more golden nuggets. Come on now. Brothers and sisters, he knew Yeshua had to experience the pain that Yahweh experienced. Why? He was here as the proxy of Yahweh. You see, Yahweh married Israel at Mount Sinai. Moses officiated the wedding. And the marriage contract was the Torah. But Israel continually committed spiritual adultery by going after other gods. (51:11) Imagine what Yahweh sees and experiences when his entire church, 99% of them, would rather go celebrate Halloween than Passover. His wife His wife will celebrate in a few days Valentine's Day. Do you understand what happened at Valentine's Day? It's worse than 50 Shades of Grey. Lupercalia. That's Lupercalia. Do you understand that you're celebrating the bondage of women? The beating of women? Go study Lupercalia and you'll never celebrate Valentine's Day again. (52:15) Ever. Can I ask you a quick quick question? Go right ahead. Can sometimes the spirit of Yahweh put that desire not to do something before you even know why you're not doing Oh, yes. That's in the seed inside of you. So, that's why I hated Valentine. There you go. Hallelujah. There you go, because the seed was already in you. (52:43) Well, brother Vaughn, we need to celebrate love. Oh, darling, we do. We do. We celebrate a love your mind can't comprehend. We celebrate it every Sabbath day. We celebrate the love of God shed abroad in our hearts one for another. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. I don't think I have a full teaching on Valentine's Day. (53:08) I'll try to put one up this week so y'all can understand the the the totality of its meaning. But, imagine what Yahweh sees and experiences when his wife wants nothing to do. So sad to see a wife that has a good husband. He provides for her, loves her, but yet she's sexually attracted to every other man but him. That's what you did to your father. (53:40) I I you to hear me, every one of us when we chase after the sun god on Sunday morning all of our lives rejecting the Sabbath of Yahweh. We were Gomer chasing after every other god except for Yahweh. Let's read verse 3 of Hosea chapter 1. So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, which conceived and bare him a son. (54:23) Now we know that Gomer was the daughter of Diblaim. She got pregnant from uh Hosea and they had a son. Now Gomer is the official name of the dead tribes of Israel. When Yahweh took his name back he renamed us Gomer. We became the that could not be faithful to her husband. Now historians all agree that the name of Israel was changed to Gomorrah that derived from Omri the Israelite king. (55:18) Omri was one of Israel's greatest kings in history. We read in Micah 6:16 it says the statutes of Omri and all the works of the house of Ahab are observed. So Omri was the great king of Israel. Now, he became the king of Israel in 1 Kings 16:23. He reigned for 12 years, and guess who his son was? Ahab. And Ahab reigned for 22 years. (56:02) And who was Ahab's wife? Jezebel. Jezebel. Where did Jezebel want to rule over Israel? And she still does today. Why do you think in the book of Revelation he says, "I have something against you. You're still allowing that woman Jezebel to rule Israel, my people." Wow. Yeah. This is good, pastor. Yeah. Thank you, Elder. (56:43) Now, the Assyrians could not have called Israel by her name. They had to call her by the prophetic name. The end of Israel. And what does the name Gomer mean? The end. So, now that the end has come for the house of Israel, she has to be called the name that means the end, Gomer. Gomer. Gomer. Gomer. That was the end. (57:19) Now, as we study, we begin to find out some historical documents that prove this for us. And I'm going to pull these up for you. The first one that I want to show you This is known to all historians. It's called the Black Obelisk. And if you've never studied on the Black Obelisk, on that stone on that particular stone, can y'all still see the stone that I had up? Yes. Yes, sir. (57:57) Okay. That stone is the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser. And on that stone it shows King Omri paying tribute to the king of Assyria. It also shows there all of the history after the lost tribes leave the land of Israel. Now, there's another one I want to show you real quickly. Very famous. (58:37) You need to study it if you can. And this one's so interesting. I studied on it till 4:00 this morning. And now I'm wanting to go look at it with my own eyes. This is called the Rock of Behistun. On this rock, if you will look on this rock, which is in modern-day Iran, if you'll look on this rock, it is a listing of all the people that the king of Assyria ruled over. (59:17) Uh Pastor, we can't see it. Pastor. Oh, okay. Let's see. Let's see why it's not showing. Try it again. There it is. Okay. This shows who the king ruled over all the tribes, all of the nations. King Darius, king of Assyria, ruled 23 different nations. Listed on this rock is one of the nations that he ruled over and the name of that nation is Ghimri, g i m m r i, which is Gomorri, which is Gomer. (1:00:06) This is why we were lost to history. We changed the our name was taken away from us and that's why we were lost to history. Now, as history goes on on this rock, as you want to read it, there's another name that was derived from Ghimri. And it's all on this rock. What is that other name? Saka, s a k a. Another way it's spelled is Sakae, s a c a e. (1:00:49) Now, guess who mentions the Sakae? The Greek historians. Now, we can trace the Sakae from the Ghimri, from the Gomorri, from the Gomer, to Greek to Greece, where the Greeks write about this people known as the Sakae. But by the time we get to Roman history, now the name Sakae is written in Latin and someone guess how the name Sake is written in Latin in Roman history. (1:01:32) Alkus as the Saxons. Saxons All of Europe is populated by the Celts and the Saxons, which is the lost house of Omri. This is Gomer. Now, his stare historians know very well that the Israelites were known as the Saka. How do they know it? From the Moabite Stone, the Black Obelisk and the Behistun Rock. Now, where did the Gimiri Saka immigrate into Europe? Through the Caucasian Mountains. (1:02:20) Now, remember what we read earlier? That my people were scattered throughout the high mountains. Remember that verse? Mhm. We were scattered through those Caucus Mountains all throughout Europe and then through the nations of the world. There was a divine purpose. Let's read about it. Why did Yahweh allow our name to be changed? Why did he allow us to get so lost for so long? Because if we would have been found any sooner, the plan could not have been completed. (1:03:08) Amen. Yahweh hid us on purpose so that we would completely lose our sense of identity and so that historians would lose sight of who we were. Let's read Jeremiah 50 and verse 6. If my wife is watching right now, would you bring me some tea if my wife is on with us this morning? If not, I'm going to have to go get some in a minute. (1:03:45) Amen. All right. Jeremiah 50 and 6. Amen. Pastor, that reminds me of a treasure. You know, when you hide it, you don't tell anybody where it's at. That's good, Elder. The Segulah is hidden. That's right. Because even Satan didn't know where this Segulah was. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Read Jeremiah 50 and 6. My people have been lost sheep. (1:04:13) Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place. They're evil kings. Why Why are my people in the mountains? Why did he say we're in the mountains? That's the journey we went through after we left Assyria was the mountains, the Caucasus Mountains. (1:04:37) And why did we go there? Because of the kings of Israel that turned their backs on Yahweh, their shepherds turned us aside and we forgot our resting place, which was the land of Israel. We forgot who we were. Let's go to the book of Ezekiel. Watch all these prophets. Do you know every major prophet in your Bible, they talked about you more than they did Jesus? Wow. (1:05:13) Do y'all realize that Yeshua was not the seed? Go back and watch my lesson on the seed. Do you know the entire Bible is not referencing Yeshua? Hallelujah. It's referencing these lost sheep, and Yeshua was just the shepherd of the lost sheep. Wow. That would bring them home. Come on now. But then he said, "In the end times, I'm going to raise up shepherds after my own heart that will gather you in. (1:05:49) They will do the ministry of Yeshua. Hallelujah." Praise God. Oh, isn't that wonderful? Oh, shepherds after my own heart. They're not going to be trying to save the world, they're going to be trying to save and matter of fact, I'm going to give them platforms overnight so they can find those lost sheep. Hallelujah. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. (1:06:12) Duplicated the pattern. Come on now, duplicating the ministry of Christ. Hallelujah. Ezekiel 34:4. Amen. The diseased have you not strengthened. Neither have you healed that which was sick. Neither Neither have you bound up that which was broken. Neither have you brought again that which was driven away. Neither have you sought that which was lost. (1:06:48) But with force and with cruelty have you ruled them. Oh. Antichrist has ruled the church. The church is called my people. They call themselves God's people. The Antichrist has ruled the church through the Pope of Rome. That you have created another church of Gentiles dominating my people, the lost sheep of Israel, and not even searching for them, not trying to find out who they were. (1:07:24) Read verse five. And they were scattered because there is no shepherd. And they became meat to all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. Now go to verse 16. I love this verse. He said, "None of y'all are looking for the lost sheep. None of you preachers in Christianity, you're dominating the church. (1:07:51) You're ruling a church, but you're not seeking the lost sheep." This was an end-time prophecy. But I like what Yash what Yash said in verse 16. And we was lost to the beast. That would be the the beast that the world of Babylon, the beast of Babylon, the beast that gives the Antichrist power. They with a We were fed to the Christian church. (1:08:13) The Roman Yes, sir. Hallelujah. Amen. Verse 16. I will seek that which was lost. And I will and bring again that which was driven away. And I will bind up that which was broken. And I will strengthen that which was sick. But I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them with judgment. The fat and the strong is Babylon. (1:08:39) The fat and the strong is the church with all the money, all the television stations, all of the fat and the strong. I'm going to destroy Babylon, but when I begin to destroy Babylon, I personally will begin to gather the lost sheep by raising up proxy shepherds that I can use their voices and I will feed my sheep with more than hoopla and church entity. (1:09:12) I will feed my sheep with more than prophetic words and false gimmicks. I will feed them and teach them how to judge the clean from the unclean and the holy from the unholy. I will do this, sayeth Yahweh. Woo! Yes. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, God, sister. Thank you. And I will take a little Mississippi preacher and have him store up the food and then and when the time is right, I will create a platform where the next morning all the newspaper headlines is who is Shane Vaughn. (1:09:57) That's what they all said. I will do that and find my people that nobody is looking for. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. Thank you, almighty Hallelujah. Oh, thank you, Father. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Father. Okay, what's that new voice in the wilderness? What is that voice of Oh, yes. (1:10:28) That voice of Elijah, you know Elder Dinnie. I don't know if they're here today or not. But Elder Dinnie and I was having a meeting. I believe it was Elder Dinnie. And you know what he told me? He works in the industry of internet. And he told me, he said, "Pastor Vaughn, do you know how much people pay to create a platform? Do you know how much they pay for us to get them in all the right Google spots and just to get a following. (1:11:04) He said, I don't know the number he told me. Elder Danny, are you here today? Because he was telling me Elder Danny, could you speak to that what you was telling me in that meeting? Yes, I was just, you know, saying that companies spend millions. And when I say millions, 5 6 10 million dollars to build a platform, build a following, um, and some of them go out of business trying to do it to get where they need to be. (1:11:40) And this one was created overnight. Elder Danny. Yep. In one day, isn't there a prophecy that says in one day a nation would be born? Yeah, I think there's a prophecy in the scriptures that in one day a nation would be born. Wow. Y'all do do y'all have this? Come on now, the nation of Israel. Do y'all understand that when I push the live button on my restream, in an instant 20,000 people gather. (1:12:16) Immediately between Roku, Rumble, Fakebook, YouTube, all of them together, do you know that was supernaturally created? And do you know that that Oh God, when I think about it, I can't even think straight. Do you know that months before that happened, Yahweh told me to buy the best cameras we could buy to prepare? He told me, "Store up the food. (1:12:46) " When I would get discouraged cuz nobody would come to my church, nobody would listen to me preach, nobody, and I kept on preaching. He said, I kept hearing him say, "Store up the food." And I kept saying, "It's going to be rotten cuz ain't nobody going to eat it." Oh, hallelujah. Yeah. But, he He said, "I because right now I don't have time to make as many videos as I used to make. I'm too busy now. (1:13:12) " But, in those years when I wasn't busy, we was storing up. Why? Because it's a prophecy. I will I will gather y'all. I'll gather you. I'll do it supernaturally. I'll do it. I'll do it supernaturally. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Joseph stored it up, pastor. And I'm found. I was lost and found. Silence. Hallelujah. Seven years. (1:13:40) Pastor, in that in that chapter, he says, "I will" over 20 times. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. Do you know why this lesson is so important to you guys today? I know it sounds a little historical and maybe a little you know, you're trying to stay awake while I teach, but here's the problem. Before now before now you had no idea how the whole Bible is about finding you. (1:14:16) Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. Yes. Hallelujah. I always thought Hosea was talking to the Jewish people and one day the Jews would come to Jesus. That's what I thought. And it has nothing to do with the Jews. It had to do with people that thought they were Americans. People that thought that they were a Scottish. (1:14:42) People that thought they were from South Africa. People They didn't know they They their resting place. They didn't know who they were, but with one voice I said with one voice, "I will turn the hearts of these lost children back Right. to the fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Isaiah 66 and 8. Go ahead. Isaiah 66 and 8. (1:15:14) Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Will the earth be made to give birth in one day? Will a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion labored, she gave birth to her children. It's one day. One day. Hallelujah! Hallelujah. Saints Hallelujah. Oh, I have Hallelujah. I have repeated over and over, the platform was born in one day. Oh, hallelujah. (1:15:45) We didn't spend a dime. Whoa, hey, if it's Yahweh's deal, it's Yahweh's bill. You heard me? I said if it's Yahweh's deal, it's Yahweh's bill. Hey, can I just say something? Has anybody in this church ever heard me raise an offering one time except for except for you know, regular? But if you ever ever I mean, come on, you can't say that about most podcasters and preachers, right? I've never one time asked you to give a dime. (1:16:23) Why? If it's Yahweh's deal, here's what he'll do. He's got Israelites out there right now with money and CDs, and they're about to die, and they don't want it to go to their ungrateful kids, and they'll send it to the house of Israel. They got They Do you understand? There's so much money out there, and Yahweh knows every bank account. (1:16:41) He know He'll raise up stones to pay for his message. Hallelujah. Amen. Through Yahweh's provision. Hallelujah. Do you know if I was still having to work full-time with my business, I wouldn't be here today. I couldn't do the work I do. Do you know that? Do you know Yahweh said, "Okay, you're done, son. (1:17:05) " I used to sit under I would be so embarrassed. I would sit under that tent and and and somewhere deep inside of me, I knew this day was coming. And I would sit there and I would look up to God. And I would say to him, "Is this This is not what you promised me." But honey, I was faithful and I was a tither and I was loyal. And I used to sit there and wonder, "God, I have no retirement. (1:17:40) " My My income is 1099. I have no social security. I've never All my life, I've never paid a dime into social security cuz I've always been my own boss. And I've never I said, "Lord, I have no retirement." I "There's no way I can do your work. There's no way I can afford to ever devote my time to your work." And I'm going to tell you something. (1:18:05) One day God spoke to me, "It's retirement time, son. I got you now. I need you to go to work." And I'm telling you he's paid every bill. Oh, rabasaya, and he takes care of every need. Why? Because you can't outgive Yahweh. I dare you to try. I said, "I dare you to try." I gave him my life and now he takes care of every need. (1:18:33) He raises up people from Hong Kong. He raises up people that you would never dream would finance his work. And look. Hallelujah. Uh we don't we don't play we don't play manipulation games here. You ain't never heard me say uh send $2,400 for 2024. Oh, come on. Uh right now if you'll send $2,424 $24.24 for 2024. I don't play them games. (1:19:03) No number going across the bottom of your screen, Pastor. No, sir. No, sir. No, sir. Now, we do ask you to support Professor Toto with the Patriots Buying Club and the gold coin, but that has nothing to do with the work here. God has always provided for this work supernaturally. Why? I'm trying to teach you something. (1:19:26) I'm trying to teach you the platform was built and paid for by the spirit of the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. In one day. So, everybody right now go to Cash App and send 2424 for 24. Hallelujah. I'm glorious. Praise the Lord. Amen. Hey, we got uh about 800 people here. So, if everybody send 2424, wow, hallelujah. (1:19:59) Praise the Lord. I'm totally kidding, guys. Now, let's continue. Uh I'm going to be out of here in a few minutes. I want to read to you 1 Peter Elder Gravit 2 and 10. Pastor. Go ahead. Is Elder Homrich he he's not here today? Is he okay? Elder Homrich. Now, that's a great question. We haven't seen Elder Banker either. Yeah. Yeah, I noticed that too, Pastor. (1:20:33) I've stolen I've stolen an Elder Baker. Yeah, Elder Baker is with the calls. us. She's She's what? She's with us. Yeah, Elder Baker's at the call. She's in Bush with us. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. We were worried about you, Elder Vicky. There you go. And Elder Hamrick, I'm not sure that's highly unusual for him not to be here. (1:20:55) Uh Elder Mor- Somebody reach out to him real quick. Just make sure he's okay. Thank you. I know I messaged We messaged back and forth this morning, but he didn't say he wasn't going to be here. All right. Let's read 1 Peter 2 and 10. Guys, I'm sorry. You're going to have I've got to go get something to drink. (1:21:11) But go ahead, Elder, and read that. I'll be right back. Yes, sir. 1 Peter 2 and 10. Which in times past or which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of of Elohim or Yahweh, which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. Thank you, Father. Good call, Elder Hamrick. (1:21:42) Quickly, can you can you tell me what that verse was about one nation? That was Elder Elder Bill. My uh Isaiah 66 and 8. 66 8. Thank you. Hallelujah. Ooh, sorry about that. It's a power surge. Ever since my ear surgery, I keep the driest mouth. They said it has to do with those nerves that got damaged in the surgery that releases saliva. (1:22:19) So, I've never had dry mouth until that surgery. All right. We just read in Peter where you once were not a people, but now you are the people of Yah. You did not have mercy, but now you have received mercy. Do you know that is a direct quote from the book of Hosea chapter 2 and verse 23. Let's read it. And now it's going to connect together for you the New Testament and the Old Testament. (1:22:53) I'm going to show you how the entire New Testament is not about the Jewish people. It is about you. Read. Amen. And I will sow her unto me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy. And I will say to them which were not my people, thou art my people. And they shall say, thou art my God, Yahweh. (1:23:21) First Peter is quoting that. Peter is quoting that promise. So, don't tell me Peter didn't know about these lost tribes of Israel because he is referring back to the story of the lost tribes. Now, you were not a people, but now you are. Only when you know the story of Hosea will you understand the ministry of the apostles. (1:23:47) Peter was writing. I'm going to show you right now that Peter knew who he was writing to. Until Yeshua came, the lost tribes had never been reached because the Jews knew that God was done with them. He had to divorce them and only been married to the Jews. So, therefore, the Jews had this superiority complex as the new wife. (1:24:22) And what do you always want do to the old wife? You want to hide her. Amen. Come on now. They're the new wife. They're the only wife now, and that other wife has been put away. So, therefore, they didn't seek for her. Matter of fact, they want her dead. Why? So that they can get the money from the husband when he dies. Hallelujah. (1:24:48) And the old wife won't get nothing. Amen. Praise the Lord. do that to the Jews today. Absolutely. The spirit still there. Now, Peter was writing. I'm going to show you. In case you thought he was writing to Gentiles, I'm going to prove it. Let's go read 1 Peter 1 and 1. And let's read who Peter wrote this book to. my wife this morning. Yes, sir. (1:25:22) I'll let him know. I'll call again. Okay. Um that's That was Elder Homer. She had to run to the pharmacy Oh, okay. his wife some medicine. Thank you, brother. Thank you for letting us know. All right, go right ahead. That was 1 Peter 1 and 1? Yes, sir. Peter, an apostle of Yeshua Messiah, the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. (1:25:56) Who is he writing to? He's writing to a He See, we always thought he was writing to all the people in Galatia, all the Gentiles in Cappadocia, all the sinners in Asia, all of these people that's now going to come into the church, these Gentiles. That's who he's writing to, pastor. (1:26:19) You better go back and read it yet again. Who is he writing to? Read it. Peter, an apostle of Yeshua Messiah. To the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, Asia, and Bithynia. Did it say he's writing to the people of Galatia? No. It said he's writing to a certain group of people that have been scattered in those places. Hallelujah. (1:26:50) The strangers of the covenant, the divorced wife that is now a stranger. She's not welcome back to the husband's house. She's now a stranger. Gomer. Gomer is a stranger and she is now scattered and considered to be a Gentile. But Yeshua told these apostles before he left, he told them about these lost sheep, and he told them, "I've come to find them, and when I go, you're going to find them, and then when you go, I'm still going to have people that are going to continuously search for them. (1:27:32) " Amen. My Bible says that it says I'm writing to God's chosen people who are living as foreigners. There you go. That's exactly right. What Bible is that? Uh New Living Testament. Amen. They got it right. Many times it's called the dispersion. Because they were dispersed all over the world. All right. (1:28:06) Now, let's go read the book of James chapter 1 and verse 1, and let's see if the Apostle James was trying to save the world. If he was writing the New Testament letter to the world. Do y'all know the book of 1 Peter in your Bible? Was written it tells you not to everybody. It was not written to Gentiles. It says it's written to God's chosen people that are scattered throughout the Gentile world. (1:28:40) Hallelujah. now y'all starting to get used to this knowledge. But how many remembers when you first came to understand this? Amen. I'm trying to concrete it for you more and more and more. So you can know. Read James 1 and 1. James, a servant of Yahweh and of the Lord Yeshua Messiah to the 12 tribes which are scattered abroad greeting. (1:29:08) To the tribes that are scattered abroad. So there's a New Testament book in your New Testament, James, that's not written it ain't even written to Gentiles. It's not even written. It's only written to the lost sheep. And that's why I tell you everyone's not qualified to read the Bible. That's why some people pick it up and it's the most boring book they've ever read. (1:29:50) Others pick it up and it's a life. It's food. Matthew 10 and 5 is another good one. That's Yeshua telling the disciples. He said um these 12 Yeshua sent forth and commanded them saying, "Go not in the way of the Gentiles and to any city of the Samaritans enter you not, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Amen. Amen. (1:30:21) That's the direct command from Yeshua and his Christian church is not doing any of it. Amen. I said he's not doing any of it at all. At all at all at all. Now, I want to show you historical evidence from Josephus. Josephus was the great Jewish historian. Notice what he says in his writing. Share it with you now. (1:31:00) Josephus says, "There are but two tribes in all of Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the 10 tribes are beyond the Euphrates River right now, and they are an immense multitude not to be estimated by numbers." That's the Joseph people. That's the fruitfulness mandate. Josephus tells us at the time he was alive they knew that there was 10 tribes that no man could number. (1:31:49) Josephus knew that the Jews were not Israelites. Hallelujah. I'm going to prove that to you right now. Hallelujah. The sun doesn't even set on those lost 10 tribes. There's so many. That's right, my brother. That's right. And what empire was it said the sun never sets on it? Hallelujah. The British Empire. Ephraim. (1:32:17) Now, let me show you more historical facts so you can understand this great truth. Josephus said that the Jews were not the Israelites. Let's read it. As a large number of prophecies relate to the return of Israel to the holy land, believers in the literal inspiration of the scriptures have always labored under a difficulty in regard to the continued existence of the tribes of Israel with the exception of those of Judah and Levi, which returned with Ezra and Nehemiah. (1:33:00) If the ten tribes have disappeared, the fulfillment of the prophecies would be impossible. If they have not disappeared, obviously, they must exist under a different name. Wow. Josephus said, "All of the prophecies, Hosea, Isaiah, was about these people, and nobody knows where they are. We can't find them. (1:33:33) To to the world, they're dead. They're lost." But he says, "If they are, the Bible is dead." Because none of the prophecies can be fulfilled without them. Because they will complete Gomer, complete the prophecies. Hallelujah. So, Josephus says, "If they are still alive, the only way they can be is if they were renamed something else and we don't know what that name is, but we we know that that's got to be the case, he said. (1:34:14) When God hides his wife, his ex-wife, he don't want nobody finding her. Hallelujah. He wants to keep that old girl in a in barefoot and pregnant. Hallelujah. He wants her hidden out at the house. Glory. Glory. So, where where do prophecy teachers get it wrong? They think the prophecies are about the Jewish people. (1:34:45) Benjamin, Levi, and Judah. They don't know. They have no idea that the name Israel was removed. Let's read 2 Kings 17 and 23. 2 Kings 17 and 23. Amen. Until Yahweh removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out to their own land to Assyria unto this day. (1:35:30) What did he say? He completely removed them from the face of the earth, from his sight. He didn't want them even using his last name. He said, "Take your maiden name back, whore." Wow. You ain't carrying my name. Israel belongs to a people that are ruled by God. It's not a name, it's a description. Israel belongs to Sabbath keepers. (1:36:04) Israel belongs to holy day keepers. Israel belongs to covenant keepers. Israel, that name, that's why the Bible said, "Take not the name of thy Lord in vain." You can't wear the name, you have to bear the name. Hallelujah. If you don't use the name, you'll lose the name. What is Israel? Someone that God rules. (1:36:41) Someone that Yahweh has conquered. Though that had not been conquered, so he said, "Give me my name back. I'm removing you from my sight." Go back to your maiden name, Gomer, gentile, heathen, the end. Why have I taught you this today? Cuz I want to say something to every one of you. The current Jewish state in the land of Palestine has taken up on themselves a name that they're not worthy of. (1:37:39) That name don't belong to them, Israel. Mhm. We thought the fig tree bloomed in 1948. Darling, they're not the fig tree. Israel, yes. And she just started blooming not long ago. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Woo! Just cuz they Go ahead. Go ahead, brother. That makes sense because that's why the land of Israel is not being blessed. (1:38:23) Absolutely. It can't be. It took a name that don't belong to it. Now, they could have named it Palestine. They could have named it Judea, Jew, whatever. That'd be See, but they're carrying a name that means Yahweh rules these people. And honey, they got more as much sin as America does. (1:38:46) They just had a pride parade right down the streets of Jerusalem. Is that a usurper? Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. And that's why the Bible said, "Those that call themselves Jews, but are not is the synagogue of Satan." I want you to hear me today. If you don't understand that yes, they are Jews, yes. And they are our brothers. (1:39:20) And yes, God's got a plan for them in another time. But I got news for you. The time clock of the end times is not connected to the Jews. It's connected to the valley of dry bones. It's connected to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Because when Gomer is complete, that's when the story is over and then Yahweh turns to the Jews. Praise Yahweh. Hallelujah. Glory. (1:39:53) Hallelujah. Go ahead, sis. Go ahead, sis. I can't hear you, sis. Yahweh has cast Israel back into the field and the field is the world. Come on now. That's where I'm headed in just a few minutes. Ain't that the truth? Brothers and sisters, y'all don't even understand. That's why when people leave this ministry, my heart breaks for them. (1:40:23) I'm like, do you understand? Do you get it? Do you realize that the bone must be connected to the bones? Do you get it? The days of islands is over. There is a gathering of the house of Israel under shepherds after his own heart. Hallelujah. Not to go have another little Bible study in a Zoom meeting with somebody, but under shepherds after his own heart. (1:40:58) I'm looking for that scripture. Love that scripture. It's one of my favorite ones. Jeremiah 3:15. In that day, I will give you shepherds after my own heart. They won't be shepherds you voted in. They won't be pastors you hired from the cemetery, the seminary. No, no, no. That's what the Christian church does and dominates the people. (1:41:31) No, no, no. I'm going to raise up shepherds that I vote in and no man can vote out who will guide you not with prophecies, not with words of knowledge, not with gifts of the spirit. Oh, no. But they will guide you with understanding. How many starting to understand more than you've ever understood before? Amen. Oh, hallelujah. (1:42:01) Then then you might be living in that day. Hallelujah. Amen. So thankful for that. You might be living in that day. Glory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We are living in that day. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, pastor. Thank you. Oh, hallelujah, mother. Hallelujah. (1:42:28) Thank you. And that which was confounded is now understood. Come on now. He's opening the eyes of the blind. When they said, "Yeshua, are you the Messiah or should we look for another?" He said, "You go tell them the eyes of the blind are being opened. You go tell them the de- ears of the deaf are being unstopped. (1:42:51) The dead are being brought back to life." He wasn't talking about physical dead people and physical blind people. He was talking about the lost sheep of the house of Israel that was very dead, very dumb, very blind. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And when you find a ministry today that's opening your blinded eyes and unstopping your deaf ears and bringing your spirit back to life, you have found Christ. (1:43:25) You have found the Messiah. You have found a shepherd after his own the that will fulfill his ministry. Hallelujah. Glory, glory, glory. Hallelujah. Some of y'all listening? Go ahead. Yes. It's like the scripture says, "Wisdom is the tree of life." Yes. Yes. are eating of that tree of life. Hallelujah. (1:43:59) And didn't even Satan himself know that the moment you eat of this, your eyes will be opened and you'll be likened unto Yahweh? Hallelujah. Brothers and sisters, listen. There's some of you watching me right now. You won't be here next year. And you know what? That don't make me happy. That makes me sad. Because you're allowing petty junk to rot You can't see the tree, the forest for the trees. (1:44:37) Uh-huh. You don't understand what's going on here. And therefore, you allow a little petty grievances to distract you from the forest. If you plan to be here in the final gathering, you better understand what's happening. The knee bone is connecting to the leg bone. And the leg bone is connecting to the hip bone. (1:45:10) And the hip bone is connecting to the back bone. And the back bone is connecting to the neck bone. And the neck bone's connecting to the head bone. And the head bone's connecting to the ear bone. Hear the word of the Lord. Hallelujah. I got to let that black preacher out of me once in a while. Hallelujah. Glory. (1:45:38) Woo. Y'all ain't heard him before. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I grew up preaching in them black churches. Hallelujah. Yeah. Don't stop now. Hey. Hallelujah. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory. Hallelujah. Woo. Y'all, I'm feeling good now. Said I'm feeling good in my soul. Why don't we try before I leave? I'm going to leave in about 10 minutes. (1:46:07) Sorry for the lateness, pastor. Sorry for that, too. Oh, yes, sir. I apologize for my lateness, pastor. I had to go get groceries for the house and I had to go to the pharmacy for my wife and I. Next time, let's try to do that before the Sabbath. Hallelujah. Amen, pastor. Amen, elder. Amen. Glory. Hallelujah. Pastor. (1:46:32) Say thank you, pastor. Thank you, pastor. Thank you, pastor. Hallelujah. We got a Thank you, pastor. You're welcome. Now, there's there's an ex- Hallelujah. Thank you, pastor. Thank you, pastor. Thank you, pastor. There's an ex- Thank you, pastor. There's there's an exception to that. There's an exception to that. (1:46:56) If it's a dire emergency, there's always an exception. Hallelujah. All right, let's read verse four. I'm going to try to be out of here in about 10 minutes. But, let's try to get to verse four. The reason I've got to go early today, Sister Pat has got us all a date. We're all going to the Saenger Theatre tonight. And uh so, we're going to have dinner at 4:00 and 5:00 this evening, rather. (1:47:23) And so, I've got to go over to New Orleans. Amen. All right, let's read verse four now. Amen. And Yahweh said unto him, "Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge I tell you what. Let's let's We better stop there, cuz when I get on Jezreel, that's going to take a whole day. Uh because Jezreel gets so good. (1:47:49) Uh all right. So, we'll call it a wrap right there. Amen.

Summary

Israel 101 – Part 11 is fundamentally an exposition of the opening of Hosea 1. Vaughn begins with Hosea 1:1, establishes his understanding of Hosea's historical setting, and then develops Hosea's marriage to Gomer as the central prophetic drama of the lesson. In his interpretation, Hosea represents Yeshua and Gomer represents the northern House of Israel—an unfaithful covenant wife who is divorced, scattered, deprived of her former identity, and eventually restored. Part 11 - Israel 101 - Pastor S… Part 11 - Israel 101 - Pastor S… Much of the sermon attempts to connect that theological reading with a reconstruction of Israel's post-Assyrian history. Vaughn argues that the lost House of Israel survived under different historical names and migrated into Europe. He then brings the argument back to Scripture through Ezekiel 34, Jeremiah 50, Hosea 2, 1 Peter, James, Matthew, and 2 Kings, presenting the biblical “lost sheep,” scattered tribes, and “not a people” language as parts of one restoration story. The sermon ends where its exposition began: in Hosea 1. After reaching Gomer and the birth of her first son, Vaughn begins verse 4—“Call his name Jezreel”—but deliberately stops because he says Jezreel will require another lesson. Part 11 - Israel 101 - Pastor S…

Core doctrine

Hosea 1:1 - 4 Vaughn teaches that Hosea's marriage to Gomer is a prophetic cramatization of Yahweh's covenant relationship with the House of Israel. Hosea functions in his interpretation as a type of Yahshua, while Gomer represents an unfaithful Israel that is divorced, scattered, and stripped of its former identity, yet remains the object of a future divine restoration. He connects this reading to the biblical "Lost Sheep" and "Scattered" language and argues that the New Testament mission continues the search for this dispersed House of Israel. His indentification of Gomer with later historical groups such as the Cimmerians, Saka, Saxons, and Celts, and his application of those identifications to modern peoples, are the speaker's theological and historical interpretations rather than claims established by Hosea 1 itself.
