Part 4 - Parables Of The Kingdom "Two Sticks Of Ezekial" Pastor Shane Vaughn

Music] grab your Bibles and let's dive in hello I'm Pastor Shane vau of first Harvest Ministries an international Congregation of Spirit-filled Sabbath keeping believers that um are forming all over and we want to teach you today uh from the word of God and explain a parable this is I think part four or part five of a series called The Parables of the kingdom and we're finding that in each one of these Parables from the Old Testament and the new every single one of them is about a unique event that is taking place before your very eyes and many of us didn't see it I didn't see it until several years ago I want to explain that to you now the Book of Ezekiel let's go read a parable in chapter 37 verse 15 and we're going to read together so grab your bible Ezekiel 37:15 the word of the Lord now I will replace the word Lord with what was originally in the Scriptures Yah or Yahweh the word of Yahweh came again unto me saying moreover thou son of man take thee one stick and write on it for Judah and for the children of Israel his companions then take another stick and write up on it for Joseph The Stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel and his companions and join them one to another into one stick and they shall become one in thine hand and when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee saying wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these say unto them thus saith Yahweh Elohim behold I will take the Stick of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his companions and will put them with him even with the Stick of Judah and make them one stick and they shall be one in my hand and the sticks whereon thou wrest shall be in thine hand before their eyes and say unto them thus saith Yahweh Elohim behold I will take the children of Israel from among the Heathen or from among the Gentiles whether they have gone and will gather them on every side and bring them into their land and I will make them one nation in the land upon on the mountains of Israel and one King shall be a king to them all and they shall be no more two Nations neither shall be they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their Idols nor with their detestable things nor with any of their transgressions but I will save them out of all their Dwelling Places wherein they have sinned and will cleanse them so that they shall be my people and I will be their God and David my servant shall be king over them and they shall have one Shepherd they shall also walk in my judgments and observe my statutes and do them and they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Israel my servant wherein your fathers have dwelt and they shall dwell therein even they and their children and their children's children forever and my servant David shall be their prince forever moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them it'll be an Everlasting Covenant with them and I will place them and multiply them and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forever more my Tabernacle also shall be with them yeah I will be their God and they will be my people and the Gentiles shall know that I am Yahweh and that I sanctify Israel when my Dwelling Place shall be in the midst of them forever more this Parable is filled with meaning filled with understanding and I want to break it down because maybe some of the things I'm about to tell you is going to seem Mighty foreign to you that's okay they were foreign to me at one time as well Ezekiel is the prophet here and Ezekiel is identifying two totally separate Nations to totally separate people now at one time these separate nations were not separate they were one nation called the Kingdom of Israel ruled over by the Royal line of King David and Solomon and then one day it's a long story I'm not getting into it in this lesson you can see the entire story on sermon entitled The scattered seed you need to watch that now when that nation divided and became two it surely broke the heart of our God because these were his holy people now they're two separate Nations so separate that they literally go to war against one another anyway as these nations became more and more separate one nation became known predominantly as the house of Judah within that house or that nation is where we find the Jewish people however the other nation is now known as the house of Israel or the house of Jacob which Jacob is Israel so those two nations are now totally identified as Polar Opposites the Jewish people are no longer known as Israel rather this nation that will no longer live in the land of Israel it's a little confusing so stay with me in other words the Jewish people the house of Judah would dwell in the land of Judah known as Israel unfortunately it's known as Israel because that's not Israel that is Judea that's the land of the Jews unfortunately it's been named Israel and it's very misleading it's very confusing because true Israel doesn't live there in Israel the Jews do but this other Nation the nation of Israel is scattered and boy are they ever scattered as a matter of fact there millions of them that are scattered to Assyria the land of Assyria now what happened to them after Assyria is so very interesting as a matter of fact I'm not teaching on that in this lesson I want to highly recommend to you A series that I taught called tracking the tribes it's an intense series only for those that love truth but I'm going you can go to our website we'll put it on the screen right now fhtv dotv when you get there you can go to the search bar and type in tribes or tracking and it'll bring up that series I believe it's about 17 parts to that series and when we get done with you you will your eyes will be like what why didn't I know this all my Christian life so I highly recommend that to you because what you're going to find at the end of that is that these tribes indeed were scattered and they were found predominantly to be in Great Britain and ultimately the United States of America and those people would be Israel the natural descendants of Israel not the people in the land of Israel that's Jewish people that's the house of Judah but the house of Israel would no longer be in that land and indeed that is what this Parable is all about that Ezekiel is now telling us about Ezekiel is very well aware of a fact that the Christian church is not aware of he says plainly in these verses that there was a total separate existence between the house of Israel versus the Jewish people the house of Judah now in this Parable he tells us that both houses have survived separately but he said there's going to come a day when when that the house of Israel and the house of Judah would come back under King David that's interesting since King David is dead however King David will not always be dead King David will rise again in the resurrection and yes King David will be placed back in to the government of Israel of course he will bow to our ultimate King yua Jesus he will cast his crown at Jesus's feet however he will be in the hierarchy over the house of Israel not only him but yua told the TW Apostles that they would be 12 Thrones and each of them would sit over each one of the tribes so it seems as if they'll be serving under King David each one over one of the tribes of Israel all of this is prophesied by Ezekiel to happen and yet it's never happened Ezekiel takes two sticks in each hand and he writes on those sticks the name Judah and the name Ephraim or Joseph rather now contained within Joseph is Ephraim and manessa so when he writes Joseph that is included in the word Joseph so one stick Judah one stick Joseph it represents the two ministries of Christ his Judah Ministry when he first came and his Joseph Ministry when he returns to redeem his Brethren now notice what Ezekiel says about Joseph he says that contained within Joseph is all the house of Israel not with Judah with Joseph if you ever understand this that Joseph has the birthright blessing then all of your Bible will change before your eyes so he takes the two sticks and what does he do he brings them together in this Parable and ties a cord around them if you will and all of a sudden the two becomes one just like a marriage just like a Covenant where a husband and wife the two become one they become one in his hands the parable goes on to tell us that before this reunion with Judah can take place and it will we read about that reunion in Acts chapter 15 and I'll go there in just a minute but before it can take place that Yahweh will have to gather the children of Israel from among the heathen heathens where they have all scattered another word for Heathen is Gentiles in other words the house of Israel would be so scattered among the Gentiles that they would inadvertently believe that they also were Gentile why because they lost their identity when they quit keeping the Sabbath day and the holy days they lost over gener ations who they were they became like the Gentiles that they had been scattered among so much so you could not tell the difference anymore they had assumed the mistaken identity of Gentiles and that's why Paul had to go and find them among the Gentiles and reconcile them to their God these people now scattered all over the nations of the world will have to be regathered reunited with the god of Israel how would that happen you have they could only be reunited through uh uh David and the son of David which is yua so in coming in you're coming back through David if yua is the son of David then David is our King until he rises from the dead we come in Yeshua and he is our King and he reconciles us back to the god of what Israel Yahweh is only the god of Israel because only Israel knows his name only Israel keeps his Commandments only Israel has accepted his Passover Lamb as our sacrifice to seal the New Covenant all of these people that have been lost would have to be regathered or a remnant of them at least from among the heathens whether they have gone now this cannot happen reuniting with the Jewish people cannot happen until we the scattered tribes have been redeemed which means restored back to the god of Israel which we do through the shed blood of yosua the Messiah now Israel and Judah are are to be dispersed among the Heathen but notice what it says on every side what does that mean all over the world on every side we would be scattered and then we would be restored now when yua came to the Earth he reached the house of Judah because living in the land of Judah were the Judah ites or the Jews the Levites and the benjamites so the gospel went to the Jew first the ones that lived there in the land of Judah guess who did not live in the land of Judah or the land of Israel the only people that didn't live in the land of Israel were Israelites Jews live there but not Israel so the gospel went to them first Peter and Paul uh Paul was of The Tribe of Benjamin Peter was a Jew and that's where the gospel went first now Paul is now called by yua to fulfill the destiny that yua came to fulfill he said I did not come for the world I came to save the lost sheep of the House of Israel that are scattered around around the world that's who I came for this time there's two comings of Christ but that's who he came for in his first coming now they begin to preach and evangelize Paul Peter different ones cornelius's household all of these people were lost members of the House of Israel they didn't know it but Yahweh knows every hair on their head now we can find what's going to happen in the book of Acts chapter 15 and it's very plain uh what God is going to do here and it's in verse number uh 14 chapter 15 of the book of Acts number 14 Simeon hath declared how Yahweh at first visited the Gentiles but I want you to notice the next line not to save the Gentiles not to reach all the Gentiles no but to take out of the Gentiles the people of his name only Israel was yahweh's people he said all through the Old Testament you alone are my people I'm your God that's why I'm the god of Israel they were lost now among the Gentiles but the Bible said that Yahweh first is going to visit the Gentiles he's not going to dwell with them he's going to visit them by his holy spirit the ruach cadesh and he's going to pull out of there of as many as he shall call of those lost tribes of Israel the people of his name or reather them just like Ezekiel prophesied and then verse 15 or we'll go to verse 16 after this I will return yua returns when after he has found the Lost tribe scattered among the Gentiles After he finds them he's going to return for his second coming and that's when part two of his ministry 2. 0 begins to happen just like the two doves in the Old Testament one dove was washed in the blood that of the First dove they killed the First dove sprinkled the blood on the second Dove the second Dove begins to fly with that blood scattered on him that's the two ministries of Christ the first coming was to be the first Dove and to die for our sins but he's coming back back with his vesture dipped in the blood of the first Min of the First dove Ministry and he's coming back as the second Dove to to to fly to cover if you will all mankind but for right now he's only reaching the lost sheep of the House of Israel but when he returns he says then I'll build again the House of David what is the House of David it's one of those sticks it's the Jewish people what tribe was David of Judah Judah is the Jews he said first I'm going to gather the Lost tribes then I'm returning then I'm going to introduce myself to the Jewish people I'll show them the stars in my hands they'll say did we do that to you he'll say yes and in one day that whole nation will be born of the spirit that comes after the second coming see God's grace didn't end at the cross it was just beginning let's read the rest which has fallen down it fell down because Yahweh blinded their eyes surely he couldn't blind them and then punish them for being blind oh no he's got a plan Joy is coming in the morning and he said I will build the ruins of the Jewish people and I will set them back up isn't that what Ezekiel prophesied first one stick would be regathered from among the Gentiles ladies and gentlemen knock knock knock may I tell you today as the messenger of a covenant as the preacher of this truth this end time truth that what what Ezekiel prophesied about this in gathering of the House of Joseph Ephraim and manessa is happening when at this very moment it's been happening for 2,000 years that's been happening for 2,000 years it started happening the minute Paul went to the Gentiles it was at cor it it began at cornelius's house and then uh they began to go to the known world looking for the bre Breen among the Gentiles let's read what happens next when he's done with the Jewish people what then I'm glad you ask and then the rest of humanity the rest of mankind not these two sticks no no no not Judah not Joseph I've already got all of them I've got got them but after I do that then all the rest of mankind all the rest of humanity will run after Yahweh and then oh the Gentiles upon whom have called my name sayith Yahweh I love Verse 18 known unto God are all his works works from the beginning of the world see he's had a plan from the beginning if you would like to know more about that plan then you can go read our book or our watch our videos called Joy comes in the morning at fhtv dotv I want to read to you in verse 22 of Ezekiel where we were just at in that Parable verse 22 and verse 23 of Ezekiel chapter 37 and it says in in those two verses the plan is laid out for us even more plainly so that we can know what God's plans are for these lost tribes The Book of Ezekiel 37 verse 22 and verse 23 and I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel one king shall be a king to them all they shall be no more two Nations neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all now the question is what are the mountains of Israel this is where it gets very interesting he said I'm going to restore them a land on the mountains of Israel automatically our minds think of that little piece of land out in the middle of the desert in Palestine or in Judea but is that the mountains of Israel no the word mountain in prophetic language always means government and who is Israel Israel are those Commonwealth Nations around the world are governments that have been EST established in a land that Yahweh promised to give to these lost tribes the governments of these nations are the mountains of Israel and Yahweh has gathered these mountains of Israel together in this hour he's doing it all over the world maybe he's doing it to you through this lesson he is finding what's his and and regathering Us in these mountains of Israel now Judah he is regathering in the land of Judea interestingly enough the land of Judea was placed into the hands of the Lost tribes of Israel in 1917 Great Britain and great Britain now has the land Against All Odds they defeated the Ottoman Empire and destroyed the Muslim Rule and Against All Odds why does Judea get placed in the hands of the mountains of Israel Great Britain is one of those mountains and then what does Great Britain do the first shall be last the last shall be first Great Britain takes the land and gives it to that to that other stick Judah they give it to their Brethren not even realizing that's their Brethren it's amazing to think about and now today yua or yah is gathering the house of Judah in their land and he's Gathering the mountains of Israel in their land this great work is being done as I speak to you this great Gathering is happening all around the world what Gathering people are waking up to their identity they're realizing they're not Baptist they're not Catholic they're not Pentecostal they're not charismatic no their name Israel and when you come to know that your life will change your your walk with Yahweh will change forever thank you
