Pastor Vaughn Teaches "Two Houses of Israel - Part 2"
Shane Vaughn ——— First Harvest Ministries International
1 So, now we're going to go to today's lesson, which is part two of the two houses of Israel. For those watching by Zoom, some of this will not make sense to you today. You're going to need to go back and watch part one. It was eye-opening and um I just cannot recapitulate today, recap. I can't go back. So, please try to follow along with us. It boils down to those two pictures on the screen. Let's do this. Sister um Sister Susan, uh tell us what those two sticks represent. Say it again. The two becoming one. What are the name of those two sticks? Judah and Ephraim.
2 Judah is what group of people? The Jewish people. Ephraim is the lost tribes. You. The 10 tribes of Israel. 10 go. Say it again. The 10 tribes of Israel. I want to teach I'm trying to teach those that may not have it completely. The 10 tribes of Israel. Who are the 10 tribes of Israel? We are. Right here. Nobody really knows where they went to except who? The Holy Ghost. Yes. He knows where these 10 tribes are. Some of them went to Africa, some of them went to China, some of them went to Asia, North America. They are scattered across the nations of the world, okay?
3 So, it was prophesied in the book of Ezekiel, for those watching by Zoom that didn't see last night, that in the end of days that Yahweh would reach over and grab that other stick, which is you and I, and would join them back together with the Jewish people. Now, the majority of the Christian church at large, and when I say that, let me just name names, not trying to be rude, not trying to be ugly, but when you listen to people like uh Jack Van Impe, Perry Stone, Hal Lindsey, I could go down the line. Uh the only one that really had it right was brother from the UPC, what was his name?
4 He just died. Oh, I know who Who? Irvin Baxter. Uh Irvin Baxter. Yeah, yeah. Irvin Baxter was right about most of this, especially the rapture of the church and and the tribulation. Um but most people have it wrong because, Sister Kathy, most Christians believe that God is finished with the Jewish people. All right, that's it. That is a a fatal flaw That's right. Right. in all the doctrines of the Christian church. They believe that God set natural Israel aside and replaced her with this new entity called the church. What you fail to understand, the church is not a new entity.
5 The church is an old entity that is being found all over the world and brought back into unity with the Jewish people. Mark my words down. Very soon, there's going to be a revival among the Jewish people like you have never seen before. They are going to accept their Messiah. But do you know what's going to cause that to happen? Most people don't understand. The Bible said that they would become jealous of Ephraim. Wow. The Jewish people would look at Ephraim, not not the church, not the Christian church. Because the reason the Jewish Do you know why the Jewish people cannot accept Messiah?
6 Because of the way he is preached. That's right. Amen. He is preached as the one that did away with the law. Right. And most of the Christian church believes that Jesus Christ did away with God's law, and the Jewish people said, "That's That's the hill we die on." Right. If that's who your Jesus is, we don't want him. They know that Jesus is the false Messiah. They know that Jesus is the Antichrist. Okay? So, they cannot accept that Jesus. Because we It's not that they don't love him, they don't love our version of him.
7 But Yahweh is finding Ephraim that's going to present to Judah the real Jesus. Hallelujah! And Ephraim is going to cause Judah to come to the Messiah. It's going to be a beautiful thing. But you see, if they you if the There's something happening among the Jewish people right now. They're beginning to see among the Catholicized Christian church people wearing these things. They're starting to see a people that keeps the Sabbath like they do, that eats like they eat, that and they're saying, "Whoa, who are these people?" They call themselves Christian, but they don't act like Christianity.
8 That is Ephraim. Hallelujah. It's a beautiful We are the church with in the church. We're the wheel in the middle of that wheel. Hallelujah. That's what the prophet saw. He said, "I see a wheel inside of a big old wheel. That wheel is you." The nucleus. He was seeing a cell, a nucleus of a cell, and we're the nucleus. We have There is an awakening of Ephraim. And that's why many of you were sitting in Christian churches, going through the motions, knowing something don't add up. Something's not right. The Holy Ghost was waking you up. Do you know why the Jewish people cannot accept your Jesus?
9 Because the Jewish people will never wake up on a Christmas morning and bow down to a Christmas tree. They said, "How? We don't We can't do that." Oh, hallelujah. You will never get a Jew to chase after an egg on Easter Sunday morning. Hallelujah to God. You can't do it. Security, check that out for me, please. Hallelujah. You will never ever ever ever be able, praise God, to get the Jewish people to accept that this God of the of the of the New Testament has changed so much that he looks nothing like the Old Testament. Welcome, brother. Good morning. God bless you. Glad to have you. Amen.
10 Now, brothers and sisters, keep this in mind. When God begins to call out Ephraim, Ephraim is going to provoke Judah to jealousy. The Bible says that. Ladies and gentlemen, it's happening. This is the moment we're in right now. They look at us and they see Christians, but they don't see us celebrating Christmas or Easter. And they're like, now, who are these Christians? They look a lot like us. Hallelujah. That's what God is doing in the last days. Good morning, sir. Glad to have you. What's your name? Charles? Where you from? Long Beach. How'd you hear about us? Say it again. Susan.
11 Well, then thank you, Susan, for bringing a guest with you today. Is that why you Oh Oh, hallelujah. Amen. Praise God. It's a private We love Susan. It's a private little deal. Hallelujah. God is so good. Let's get started on our lesson today. It is a For those watching by Zoom, we got a little distracted. I ain't tight. It is impossible to understand the ministry of Jesus Christ and his teachings without understanding the two-house doctrine. What is the two houses? You see those two houses up there? On the left, you have Judah. And on the right, you have Ephraim.
12 Ephraim became a Christianized version of something besides themselves. That's changing in this hour. Now, let's go to Acts 15 verse 14 through verse 17. Now, we're going to follow up what we started last night. We showed you last night that Yahweh is not dealing with the whole world right now. We showed that to the Jew first and then to those that think they're Gentiles that went off into the Gentile world. He's dealing with Israel right now. I want to prove it to you from the New Testament and I want you to follow these scriptures very closely.
13 The three scriptures we're about to read will change your entire paradigm. What is a paradigm, somebody? Your mindset. How your world view. The way you see things. If you're a Christian today, your world view right now is this. That God is trying to save the whole world. And it looks like he's failing miserably. That's right. That's our world view at this time. That's the church view. That right now, God's trying to get everybody saved right now. And that he's not doing too great of a job if you look around. I mean, come on. Look out down this street. Tell me how many's saved. Who's winning?
14 Right. Well, that's the Christian purview. That's how they see because they believe that when you see we're fishers of men. I proved to you last night that the only thing we're fishing for is Ephraim. Right. Amen. He said, "I'll send fishers to find Ephraim." So, we think we're fishing for all men and you wonder, have you ever wondered why anybody would not want to be saved? I mean, just think about it. If somebody's in their right mind, Sister Pat, who would not want to serve our Lord? But, somebody must not be in their right mind.
15 And according to Revelations 12:9, everybody's been deceived except for Ephraim. God calls her out. I'm going to read three verses now. And I want you to ask the Holy Spirit when you read these verses, I want you to ask him to reveal it to you what he is saying. Let's read. Yahweh's prophets have declared from the beginning how Yahweh will visit the nation to take out of them a people for his name. All right. Yahweh is going to visit the nations. Now, what's another word for nations? Give me the word I'm looking for. Gentiles. Gentiles, yes. Okay. If you're not an Israelite, you are a Gentile.
16 Who all is going into the New Jerusalem? Gentiles or Israelites? Israel. 12 gates to the city, there's only 12 tribes of Israel going in, okay? According to this scripture, Yahweh, after the day of Pentecost, began to visit the Gentiles. The nations. But does it say he went to visit them to save them all? He went to visit the nations to take out of those Gentiles the people of his name. Right. That translation in the original says to take out the people that were always his because he came to seek and to save that which was lost. The Gentiles were not lost. That's right. Why?
17 They were never the people of his name. Israel, he said, are the people of my I've put my name in Israel. Now, that says that at the day of Pentecost Now, let me ask you a question. Does that verse say that God went to the Gentiles to save the Gentiles? No. No. No. No. But to take out of the Gentiles his people. Right. Woo! Hallelujah. Read. Read. And to this the words of the prophets agree as it is written, "After this I will return Now, what happens after the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled? That's what Daniel calls it. The time of the Gentiles. Now, what this is 2,000 years.
18 The time of the Gentiles when the Holy Spirit is going to start seeking the people of his name from among the Gentiles. Now, when that time is over, which we're creeping to that moment now. What happens when God finds Ephraim and pulls her out of America and China and Africa and Australia? When he finds all of them, they may be sleeping in the grave, but he found them. What happens then? Read. After this, I will return. I will what? Return. What is that? The second coming. Right.
19 So, after he finds Ephraim, now he's got to return and finish the prophecy of Ezekiel of bringing the two sticks together. Now, what happens after those two sticks come back together? Read. And will rebuild the tabernacle of David. See, when he returns, he's rebuilding Judah. Right. Amen. Did you just see it? Yes. Right now, he's finding Ephraim. Right. But at his second coming, he'll turn to the children of David, Judah. Right. And he will rebuild what the church says he's done away with. Right. Jews. See, let me tell all of you something right now.
20 God is not dealing with the Jewish Why do you think we've never been able to successfully evangelize the Jewish people? God ain't fooling with them. That's called the last great day. Now, whenever God returns, the Bible said he's going to do the first thing he's going to do when he comes down, the Bible said he's going to look to the Jewish people and he's going to show them what? Come on, I need help. Wake up. He's going to show them what? The nail prints Yes. in his hands. They will look upon him whom they have crucified. About your Bible says that I don't have time to read it all right now.
21 And the Bible said that he will have pity of upon them. Why? Because they were blind. Who blinded them? God. Why? So that he could find a friend. Hallelujah. I'm going to tell you I hope you're picking up what I'm putting down. Because what I'm teaching you today is 100% polar opposite of what the church understands. God did away with the Jews now gave us this new spirit-filled church. You better get your story straight. You darling should not get Paul said puffed up. What did Paul say?
22 Don't you Gentiles that thought you were just don't y'all start acting like you've replaced the natural branch. He said cuz all y'all ways doing is finding the other branch the wild olive tree. Yeah, y'all that left Jerusalem the natural olive tree stayed in Jerusalem. But to who is the wild olive tree? Ephraim. And that wild olive tree went out yonder to the nations. Y'all ways said I'm going to find them. I'm going to bring them back together after I return. Now let me ask you a question according to that scripture. Is God dealing with the Jewish nation right now? No.
23 But we over there knocking on doors trying to get them saved. And ain't none of it ever worked. You may get a few that you get to say yes, I believe, okay, but no, God as far as God moving among them, it's not their day. It's not the day of their visitation. That was 2,000 years ago. Now that day is going to today is the day of your visitation where truth has come to you. Now what happens after he rebuilds the children of David, which is another euphemism for the tribe of Judah? He's already found Ephraim, rebuilds Judah, what's he going to do then?
24 So that the rest of mankind So that the rest of mankind, all of them. After I get the tithe I'm going to get them all. Read it. So that the rest of mankind may seek Yahweh. They will seek after you. The Bible said until now no man has sought after God. But when Ephraim and Judah get it right, all men are going to seek after God. That's the purpose of the millennial reign. Because these two sticks come together at the beginning of the day of the Lord. And then the rest of men are all coming to serve our God because the tithe comes first. Now what I've just taught you the church has no clue of.
25 Those three verses, what did I say before we read them? These three verses will change your what? Your paradigm. The way read the scriptures. That's right. That's right. If God ain't going after them all right now, why you trying to do it? Right. Right. You can't The Bible said the Holy Ghost, no man comes to the Father unless they've been drawn right now. Oh, shucks. Aren't you glad that you were drawn Yes. right now? Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now, with those scriptures in your mind, I want to tell you something that's going to shock you.
26 Every mystery of the two houses of Israel are hidden in the parables of Jesus Christ. Every parable, you've all learned these parables all your life. And none of them have anything to do with what your American mind thinks they have to do with. Every parable is about two groups of people, Judah and Ephraim. Because I only came to seek and to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel. So, let's go. We're going to take a few parables today, and I'm going to show you what Jesus was really teaching. Let's start with the parable of the prodigal son. How many's ever heard this parable? Yes. Yes.
27 All right. Let's go to Exodus 4:22. And then Jeremiah 31:20. To understand the parables of Christ, you cannot read your Bible as an American or as a Gentile. You must understand Jesus's ministry was not for the Gentile. Right. It was for the lost sheep, Right. Ephraim, Amen. and Judah. Now, Judah and Ephraim are brothers or sisters, either one. Okay? They're twins, if you will. Yahweh calls them my sons. Read Exodus 4:22. Then you shall say to Pharaoh, "This is what Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn." Do you know why Yahweh killed the firstborn sons of Egypt?
28 Because Israel was his firstborn son. You take my son, I take all of your sons. Wow. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Wow. Yahweh still does eye for eye, tooth for tooth. He don't let you do it because you'll think you're him. He says, "Trust me to do it. I still do eye for eye and tooth for tooth. But I don't need you trying to be me. So, trust me that vengeance is mine. I will repay." It's still eye for eye with God. It can't be with you because then you become like Satan trying to take the power of God in your own hands. So, who is Israel? Who is Judah? The son of God.
29 Read Jeremiah 31 and 20. Is Ephraim my dear son? What does Yahweh call Ephraim? His dear son. My dear son, read. Is he a pleasant child? not a good son. He's rebellious. He's a rebellious son, read. Though I speak against him, I earnestly remember him still. And even though he's left me and run away from home to the pigpen, oh hallelujah. Therefore, my heart yearns for him. I long for Kathy Odina. I long for Sheol. I long for Matthew. I long for Magazine, even though they didn't keep my Sabbath. They broke my commandments. They thought they were Catholic Christians.
30 They thought they I long for them to come home. Amen. Read. I will surely have mercy on him, says the I will have mercy on them. Sayeth Yahweh. So, Judah and Ephraim are now called sons. All right. So, let's go to Luke 15 and 11. And let's see if we cannot let the Bible interpret the parables of Christ. Then he said, "A certain man had two sons." A certain man That's right. has two sons. Wow. Anybody want to name those two sons for me? Judah and Ephraim. Ephraim and Judah. Yes. One son stayed home in Jerusalem. Every parable is about Ephraim, every one of them. I'll prove it to you.
31 Let's read uh 1 Chronicles 5 and 2, and I want to show you what happens with these two sons. It looks like the father prefers the younger son. Read. Yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, but the rights of the firstborn belonged to Joseph. Okay. The The birthright belongs to Joseph, which is Ephraim. Right. Even though Judah was first. the elder. To the Jew first and then to the Gentile. Judah was firstborn, but it is Joseph that gets the birthright. Now read Luke 15 and 12. We're going to go back and forth. I'm going to show you this parable.
32 And by the way, when I get to the last parable today, you're not going to be able to eat spaghetti. You're just going to be so spiritually high. Read Luke 15 and 12. Now the younger of them The younger of the what? The two brothers. What did 1 Chronicles just say who has the birthright? The younger. Listen what he said. Now the younger of them said to his father, "Father, give me the portion of the property which is coming to me." Who does the birthright belong to? Ephraim, which is Joseph. Give me all of your Holy Ghost blessings. Good morning, ma'am. So glad to have you all with us today.
33 Thanks for coming back. Give me all of my Holy Ghost blessings. Give me all the miracle signs and wonders. Give me the ability to prophesy. Give me church. Give me my portion. Give it to me now. Because the birthright belongs to us. That's why we have more powerful church services than the Jews ever had. We have a birthright of the spirit of God. Yes. We have more power than them. The birthright belongs to Ephraim. And he said, "Now give me that." And what else did he say? So, he divided the inheritance between them. So, now, here's what happens.
34 He divides an inheritance, but the but Ephraim gets the greater portion because he gets the birthright. Now, let's read Ezekiel 23 and 2 through 5. And I want to show you how Yahweh always compares these two houses as brothers or sisters. Let me see if anybody's still watching on Zoom out there. Hold on. We still got anybody on there with us? Oh, yeah, there's Janice and Jesse Jury and Dr. Cole. Dr. Cole, you enjoying this this morning? Yeah. Oh, look at beautiful, beautiful people. Amen. All right, Ezekiel 23 and 2. Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
35 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt and committed whoredoms in their youth. There were the There were their breasts pressed, and there were they bruised the bosom of their virginity. Their names were Aholah, she has her own tent, the elder of Aholibah Aholibah. My tent is in her. They were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their identity of their names, They were mine. And they bore sons and daughters, Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist. They bore They were mine. Then they became the Popes.
36 There was two sisters or brothers, and they committed harlotry, and they had children. Right. denominations Oh, yeah. That's right. Amen. Now, those carried with them a birthright. Holy Ghost church. They had a birthright, but they committed whoredoms. I'll read verse 25 verse 5, sorry. A whole lot played the harlot when she was mine and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians, her neighbors. Who uh who the Assyrians? That's the 10 tribes of Israel. Who who kidnapped the Assyrians the the tribes? The Assyrians. Because if you crawl in bed with the enemy, you're going to serve your enemy.
37 When you crawl in the bed with sin, you're going to serve that sin till you die. That's why the Bible says shun the very appearance of it. Now, let's go back to Luke 15 and 13. And let's see what Ephraim does exactly what the scripture says. Then not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together, journeyed into a distant land, and there squandered his property with riotous living. So, here comes Ephraim and he leaves Jerusalem. He left the land. He left the land and goes to Samaria. And what does he do there? He waste what he could have had. With what kind of living?
38 Living the way he wanted to live. That's right. Instead of by the Torah. Doing what was right in his own eyes. Amen. That's what he did. Yes. Now, what did God say? I I miss him. I love him and I'll take him back. And have mercy on him. I'll have mercy. Read. Let's go. Now, um let me read this to you. The days are Okay, so among the Jewish people, there is a saying in their midrash that says that in the last days, God will send a famine in the land, not of bread or of water, but a famine for the word of God or the law of God. Amen.
39 So, let's go knowing that now and go to Luke 15 and 14 and find out what happens to Ephraim. But when he had spent everything, there arose a great famine in that land. a famine that Ephraim experienced. Not Judah. Right. Ephraim. But notice what he said. He spent all. What does that tell me? That means that he was still having church. He went out and spent it all. He He built great buildings. He had great revivals. He spent that inheritance. But there came a famine to Ephraim. Of what? The word of God. Nobody can have church better than Ephraim. But he's got a famine. Of the law of God.
40 And he began to be in what? Has anybody looked around at the modern church and said, "What is going on with the church? Where What happened?" She's in want. Yes. Yes. That's right. She's starving. Why do you think Why do you think 60 at least are sitting on this call right now? They've all got a church on the corner of their town. Right. But they're in want. Yes. Yes. They want to know who they are. They want to know the word of God. They're tired of going to church and everybody worshiping and everybody doing the same thing but not understanding the word of God.
41 See, you can run with the anointing for a long time but there's going to come a famine in your life without the word of God. When these churches are not built on the word, let me tell you what's going to happen. They're going to grow big. They're going to grow fast. They're going to impress everybody. They're going to have fog machines and every colored light you can buy. They're going to offer you something but they what happen is after a year or two, same sermon, same things, same lies, you're going to find yourself saying, "My God, preach me something. Teach me something. I'm in want." Yes.
42 I mean, when is the last time you walked in a church and they moved all the chairs out, put tables up, said, "Open your Bible." Yeah, I know. They don't even carry a Bible to church. No, no, no. Let's get the best music we can find. Right here, do you know what I'm looking at today from Florida and Pennsylvania, people in want. People in want. We ain't got one person sitting in this room right now except for the Sprouses that lives within 20-30 miles of this church. All right, well, a few of these few Well, you only cuz y'all living here, right? So, my point is there's people in want.
43 Read Ho- Now, let's go read Hosea chapter 9 verse 3. Uh-huh. How do you know when a church is in want? How do you know when Ephraim is in want? It's in Hosea 9 and 3. They will not live in Yahweh's land. They won't. You can't even hardly get them to come to church. Right. They may come on Christmas morning and Easter and once a month, but they don't want to be in Yahweh's land. They don't want to be around the people of Yahweh. No, no, no. Read. But Ephraim will return to Egypt. Egypt is where the church will go back to. And what's going to happen to prove that they are in want?
44 And they will eat unclean food in Assyria. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma They will break the law. When you want to know if a church is living in Egypt, look at what they're eating. Oh, wow. Yes, that's right. Amen. No. No, we're in the land. See, we're dwelling. We may not be in the physical land, but we're in the land. That's right. We're in the land. Because this is Yahweh's territory. God's people always went back to the unclean. Wow. Ephraim Wow. I love what he says about Ephraim.
45 You'll know she's in want when she's not walking in the law of Yahweh. She will eat unclean food. Those watching me by Zoom, I want you to hear me. One of the hardest messages that you will ever have to receive is that your belly cannot be your God. That's right. That's right. The Bible said whose God is their belly. belly. That's right. Why? Because they tell God what's going to go in their belly. They don't let God tell them. Amen. Brother Vawter, ain't nobody going to tell me what to eat. I know. God knows. Your God is your belly. Right. Paul said that. Yep. Your God is your belly.
46 You know he said that after Jesus replaced those unclean food laws. Right. Right. He still wrote whose God is their belly, meaning they obey their appetite more than the law of God. Wow. Wow. Wow. Hallelujah. Now let's go and read what this prodigal son where does he wind up when he leaves the father among the what? The pigs. Unclean food. Right. You when you want to know Ephraim's coming back home, she'll get out from among the pigs. Amen. Woo! Ephraim wound up eating Gentile food and living with Gentile ways among the pigs. What is the Gentiles? The pigs. Yep.
47 He said my son left the land and went and thought he was a pig like the rest of those pigs. Wow. But that prodigal son, the Bible said, came to himself. Notice what he said. In my father's house he recognized who his father was and what house he belonged to. In my father's house Ephraim is the house. Who said what? I didn't hear it. Amen. He said, "In my father's house." He recognized what house he belonged to. And it wasn't the Gentile house. He said, "I will arise." Now, what does arise mean? Psalms 102 and 13.
48 You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to honor her when the appointed time has come. Arise means to awake from spiritual slumber. Isaiah 61. It says, "Arise and shine. Your light is come and the glory of Yahweh." How do you know when the glory of Yahweh is shining? When you arise. When you start waking out of your spiritual slumber, when you start coming to yourself, meaning knowing who you are. Amen. Jeremiah 31:6, listen carefully. For there will be a day when the watchman will cry on Mount Ephraim and say, "Arise with Arise, Ephraim. And what?
49 Let us go up to Zion Let's go back to the house of Ephraim. Amen. When does that happen? When the watchman, the pastors, the preachers send forth a cry Hallelujah. when Elijah shows up on the scene and says, "Arise and get back to the house of Ephraim." Yes. Prodigal son said, "I will arise." That's right. I will arise. Read Luke 15:17. Now when he came to himself, he said, "How many of my father's hired servants have enough food and to spare and and I am dying of hunger." Verse 18. I will get up and go to my father and I will arise Yes. and go back to the house that I belong to.
50 My my mind, read verse 18. For I will get up and go to my father and and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against Yahweh and before you." Father, I have broken your commandments and lived like the world. I'm not going to read all these verses, but but you need to read them when you get time. And listen to what happens in verse 20. So he got up and went to his father, but when he was yet a great way off, his While he was Listen, listen, listen, listen. When Ephraim was starting to wake up over there in Waveland, Mississippi. Yes. He was still a ways off.
51 It still wasn't the day of the Lord yet. It wasn't quite the millennium time yet. He was still a ways off, but listen to what happened. But his father saw him and had whoa, his father saw him coming out of the pigs. Yes. And what happened? And he had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Oh, that's called the in-gathering of the exiles. The father is going to run and kiss us all. Amen. When we gather in the exiles. Y'all need to read all these verses. I don't have time to read them today. The prodigal son is received with the joy. I want you to read Luke 15 and 21.
52 Now, what happens after the father comes to gather us back to the land? What happens? Read verse 21. Then the son said to the father, "I have sinned against Yahweh and in your sight and am no longer worthy to be called your son." 22. But the father said to his servants, "Bring out the best robe Hold on. What is the What is the best robe? Isn't it a wedding dress? Yes. Now, it's time for the wedding. Amen. Why? Because now I'm rebuilding the tabernacle of David and bringing him together with Ephraim. It's wedding time.
53 That is what the millennial reign is all about, the wedding of the house of Israel. Hallelujah. Bring out the wedding dress. Woo! Why? My Both of my sons have come home. A certain man had two sons. But now, I want you to notice what happens. Read. And put it on him and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. book of Revelation, the Bible on that day he'll give us a new ring. Oh, yeah, go read about it. Read verse 23. Then bring the fattened calf here and kill it and let us eat and he didn't say the fatted pig, he said the fatted calf. Right. Clean food. Bring the fit and do what?
54 And kill it. And do what? And let us eat and be merry. And let's be merry. What do you think the millennial reign's going to be? It's going to be a party tonight, a party tonight. I know. Let's get it started and hot. That's what it's going to be, honey. Going to be a party. It's going to be a celebration of two sons. One thought he was a pig, a gentile, but he came back to his father's house. Amen. Yeah. Read verse 24. For this my son was dead Ephraim was dead. Yes, but is alive again. He was so dead, Ephraim was so dead, he thought he was a Baptist.
55 Ephraim was so dead, he thought he was a Catholic. Ephraim was dead. He didn't know who his father was or what house he belonged to. My son was dead and is alive again. And notice what Yeshua says to try to get you that have ears to hear. Notice what he says next. He was what? He was lost but lost tribes of Israel. He was lost. Y'all, it's plain as it's as plain as a zit on the tip of your nose. Amen. Notice what he says about this son. He was lost. He was the 10 lost tribes. But on that day he'll be found. And read, they began to be merry. And they began to be merry.
56 Now there's a problem in verse 25. Now we've got an older brother. Yep. He's jealous. That's right. Yes. What did I tell you a while ago? Ephraim will make Judah jealous. Yes. Now here stands the Jewish people on that day. And what do they say? Read. Now his older son was in the field and he as he came drawing closer to the house he heard music and dancing. He hears this coming of the Lord, this great celebration. Amen. And here comes the Jewish people wanting to join the party. But they're not quite sure what's really going on. And when they find out that the last shall be first. Yeah. Yes.
57 Ephraim shall be first because Ephraim has the birthright even though he's not first. Amen. To the Jew first, but they wind up being last. Yes. Yes. When you read that verse, the first shall be last, you don't even know what you're reading. Ephraim shall My God. Yes. Amen. The last will be first. That's y'all. That's right. Yes. Y'all coming up first in that resurrection. Amen. That's why I'm afraid of dying. Bring me COVID, bring me cancer, bring me whatever you want to bring me. I know who I am. I Oh, hallelujah. Amen.
58 I was I was dealing with a little fear last week because some of the financial opportunities of the church through the Patriots buying club and different things. I've been so sick if I'm not promoting it, finances go down. And so I've been unable to promote it and I've been unable to get out there and do what I need to do to keep that income flowing. And I said, "Lord." And he said, "Why would you be afraid of finances if you're not afraid of COVID?" Right. Ooh, that's a good word right there. He said, "Don't preach no fear.
59 That don't apply to just COVID." And so last night as I was leaving the service, a little lady said, "Could I see you for a moment?" And I said, "Yes, ma'am." Well, she wrote a $40,000 check to the ministry. Hallelujah. You ain't got to be afraid. Trust in the Lord. Amen. Hallelujah. We'd already bought one tiny house and I said, "Now, Lord, soon I'm going to have Oh, Rick Connolly knocking on my door wanting 40 more thousand for two more houses and I don't have it." The Lord said, "Here's your check. I got it for you right here." $40,000. Yes. Do you know why God sends money here?
60 He knows he can trust us to give it all away. That's right. That's right. God won't send you money if he can't send it through you. That's right. Amen. When your hands become like this, you're not a tool that God can use. But when you open up your hands and say, "Here, Israel, take the blessings of the Lord." God'll send it through you. Be careful of a greedy spirit. Yes. Be careful of Don't give away what you don't have. Don't be stupid. But if God gives it to you, give it away. And you'll make room for more.
61 How does people just walk up to me and hand I went to the There's a lady on this Zoom right now. I'm not going to call her name out. I don't want to embarrass her. And but if you looked at her I I ought to pull her up. If you looked at her, you'd be like Well, you I mean I I mean I'm just saying. You wouldn't think that they had a dime to their name. Well, this little lady just sent me 35,000 2 days ago. Praise the Lord. She's watching right now. You know why? Because when God's working, he pays all the bills. Right. And do you want to know the miracle of it? Have I ever asked for one dime?
62 No. On the On my show, have I ever ever one time? No. I've never Have I ever asked any of y'all for a dime? No. Because when you're serving the Lord, money comes to you. God provides the need before it ever happened. Right. You don't need money, you need God. You don't need money, you need God. You can know God's doing a work when he starts paying for it. You can know it. When mom and daddy built this church, the money came from everywhere. Why? When God is doing the work, God pays for it.
63 And if anybody's watching me on Zoom, first time I've ever said it, last time I'll say it until I say it next time. The day's going to come, we're going to need $500,000 to buy this building. I'm believing God for every dime of it. Amen. I'm not going to go into all that what that means, but the day is coming. God knows it. So, I want you to believe with me that the day that we've got to write a check for a half a million dollars, it'll all be sitting there so that we can get ahead of the enemy. Hallelujah. I don't know how I got on all that from the prodigal son.
64 Anybody still with me on Zoom? People get mad when they know you're being blessed. I may not have nobody left. Let's see. Oh, we still got a few. Yes, 60 of them. People get mad People get funny when they hear God's blessing you, daddy. People start getting funny on you. They get jealous. They start getting jealous that the blessings are coming to you. I've seen it happen. I've never been that way. God knows my heart. If I would rather see y'all pull up in a a new vehicle than me, any day of the week. Brother, when's my turn coming? Your turn came when I got blessed.
65 Your turn came when you got blessed. Why? We're one. When we raise an offering at this church on Friday nights, I don't know, I've never seen the offerings, but Mama can probably tell you, if we get more than a couple of hundred dollars, I'd be surprised. There's no money here. There's no money here. But when you are doing God's work, baby, do you think he's going to start a work that he can't afford to pay for? Dr. Cole and his wife's out there, they support this ministry. God is good. Now, the brother Judah don't quite like what's going on. Now, let's see what happens, verse 26.
66 So, he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. How did these people that are not part of Judah wind up getting ahead of us? Read verse 27. So, he said to him, "Your brother has come and your Your brother Ephraim has come home. He has returned to Torah. He has returned to the law. Read. And your father has killed the fattened calf because he has gotten him back safe and sound." Hallelujah. Verse 28. Then he became angry and would not go in. Then the Jews became what? Angry and would not go in. And the father loved them so much, he didn't hold it against them.
67 Listen what he said. Therefore, his father came out and pleaded with him. And here comes the father saying, "Let me talk to you, Judah." Then answering said to his father, "See how I served you these many years." I didn't leave Jerusalem. That's right. Didn't leave the law. I never quit keeping the Sabbath day. I never ate pigs. Come on. I never celebrated pagan holidays. Come on. Yes. Right. I did it all by the law. So, how did those Christians that didn't do it that way, how did they get ahead of me?
68 But what they didn't know is there was a segment of Christians that started coming to themselves while the far far off, they were coming to themselves in 2021, 2022, 2020, and Judah didn't see what was happening. Right. Amen. Read. Neither transgressed I at any time Yes. Your commandments. Read. And you never gave me as much as one one young goat, so I might make merry with my friends. But you didn't put me first. Right. Now, I want to end that parable by telling you that the Jews, the elder brother, finally joined the party. Ladies and gentlemen, you've read that parable all your life.
69 That's right. That's right. And today you read it for the first time. Yes, amen. And understood it. Yes. That's the day we're living in. Amen. Now, I'm going to rush through. I'm not going to go through those that's watching by Zoom. I want to get to the final parable that I want to talk about today. So, I'm not going to deal with these, but I just want to mention them to you. When Yeshua heals the blind man, that is the nation of Ephraim. Now, I wish I could show you because what does Ephraim say what what does the blind man say? I see men as trees walking.
70 Now, isn't it funny that God didn't could he Jesus Christ couldn't heal him the first time? Remember? He put his mud on his eyes and he wasn't quite healed. Why would Jesus ever need to do twice? That's the first coming and the second coming. And Ephraim was sick. And Ephraim said, "I see men as trees." Well, if you go to Jeremiah 11, it says that Israel is an olive tree. I see men as trees and the word walking means walking in Torah. I see Israel walking in Torah the second time my old my eyes open, I saw everything. Wow. And I wish I could teach it, but I I don't have time.
71 Now, there's one more parable that I'm going to touch on before I get to our final parable today, the five loaves and the two fishes. The whole thing is about the two tribes of Israel. And I I don't have time. I wish to God I'd go through every scripture, but the Bible said when Yeshua lifted up his eyes, he saw a great multitude. And he said, "How are we going to feed them?" And somebody said, "Well, there's a little boy here that's got five loaves and two fish." The Torah, which is the first five books of the Bible, and the two fish is Ephraim and Judah.
72 He said, "There's a little boy here got five and I'm going to I can't get into it today, but I want you to notice how the story ends with 12 baskets." For the 12 tribes. The 12 tribes of Israel. Every parable is about the two houses. You didn't even know you belonged to one of them. That's right. Now, there's another parable I don't have time to get into today either. I'm out of time. You ever heard of Lazarus going in the tomb and dying and being resurrected? Lazarus was Ephraim. Oh, I don't have time to prove it today, but if I did, I'd show you his two sisters Ephraim and Manasseh.
73 I'd show you hit the two Mary and Martha is the two sisters. And I would show you what Lazarus means. I would go through these scriptures and I would show you how a certain man was sick named Lazarus. Isn't it funny that there's two parables with Lazarus in it? Remember one Lazarus went to hell. And here's another Ain't that funny? Lazarus, Lazarus. It's all Ephraim children and I'll explain it to you in a minute. Now, I I don't have time to talk about Bethany. Why was it Bethany? Mary and Martha. Oh Lord, there's 20 slides right there just on that parable, so I won't get through it today.
74 But uh Oh, I'd love to tell you about the conversation with Martha and Yeshua. She represents the Christian church. And then Mary represents Judah in any way. Long story short, let's just say this that at the end of the parable Yeshua says, "Now take away the stone." Because when he gets ready to resurrect Ephraim, he's going to take out that stony heart. Now Oh Lord, I I there's 20 slides there. There's that stony heart. Take away the stone. Oh Yeshua praise, and there the shofar sounds. Lazarus comes forth. That is Ephraim. Now I want to talk to you about one final parable.
75 Oh I love the last verse of that parable. Then many of the Jews, this is the last verse of Lazarus coming back from the dead. Many of the Jews, which is Judah, came to Mary and it seen what Yeshua did with Lazarus and believed on Yeshua. That one verse will tell you the whole story. I don't have time to tell you today. When the Jews saw the resurrection of their brother Ephraim, they all believed on Yeshua the Messiah. But how did it happen? Through the Christian church, which is Martha. Wish I wish I had time.
76 Now, so here's what I do have time for for those that are still on with Zoom with us. I want to take you to the final parable we're going to talk about today. Go find me the story parable of Lazarus lifting up his eyes in hell. And And read this last parable. Every parable that Jesus taught was trying to tell you who you were. Why do you think a woman lost 10 coins? 10 tribes of Israel. My my my. Now, let's stop sharing now. I want to just give you this last parable. Luke 16 and 20, those watching by Zoom. Now, uh Starts at 19. Let's start at 19. Bring me my board and a marker.
77 I want to have to I'm going to have to draw this one out for you. How many's ever heard Kathy, you may have to come set my camera. How many's ever heard it said whenever this ministry teaches people what happens to the dead, the very first thing that people want to talk to me about is Lazarus. is Lazarus. That's right. That's proof, they say. Oh, yeah. That's proof. Lazarus lifted up his eyes from hell. Right. I'm going to show you if you don't understand the two house doctrine, you don't understand any of the parables of Christ. So, let's take the understanding we have now.
78 The word, let's start at the Tell us where we are and let's read. Uh Luke 16:19. Luke 16 and 19, start reading. There was a certain man who had who was dressed in purple and fine linen. All right. So, this parable is going to be about two different men. The first man is dressed in what? Purple and fine linen. And linen. The high of Israel. He wore linen and he wore purple. He represents Judah. Right. All right. So, the parable is once again, like every other parable, about Judah. Read. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus. Now, there was another man over here. His name was Lazarus.
79 The word Now, isn't it funny that in the other parable, that man's name was Lazarus, too? Right. How many Lazaruses you reckon Jesus was talking about? It's all the same Lazarus. Right. Because the word Lazarus means he that needs God's God's help. Amen. Ephraim. So, the parable is once again, like every other parable, about Judah and Ephraim. Judah has the purple, the fine linen, but now Ephraim has become a beggar outside the gates of Judah. Read. Who wanted to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Remember, Ephraim is in the pig pen. And what did he say?
80 In my father's house, there's plenty of food. Right. Cuz he's experiencing a famine. He's in a famine. Every parable's the same, children. Amen. Ephraim, Lazarus is having a famine. What did the other prodigal have? A famine. What did the prodigal say? What did Ephraim say in the other Listen to me carefully, those watching by Zoom, hear me. Every parable, every one, is about Judah and Ephraim. Hallelujah. And you are Ephraim, and all God's reaching for is Ephraim. Ephraim. Cuz we were lost. We were lost. lost. Now, here's a beggar begging to be able to go back to his father's house.
81 Now, read. Also, the dogs came and licked his sores. Now, who came and licked his sores? What did Yeshua call Gentiles? Dogs. So, where is Ephraim now living among the Gentiles. Now, dogs and pigs are the exact same. They're both unclean. The prodigal son was among the pigs. Lazarus is among the dogs. Right. Both animals are unclean. When I get done today, remember this if you remember nothing else. Every parable is about the two brothers. Yeah. Amen. They're about you. Amen. They're not about your neighbor out there. They're about you.
82 And it was trying to Why did he say on every parable, "He that hath an ear"? Right. Why did he say you will need wisdom? Because when people read this story, they think it's about life after death. And if you'll go watch every Christian preacher on YouTube, they'll tell you, "This is why we know we go to hell when we die." Bunch of dummies. I thank God I saw a glorious light. Amen. And you're not going to make me feel strange about it. That's right. Just because you walking in darkness. Read the parable. Now it came to pass that the beggar died. Now the beggar died. Isn't that something?
83 What did the What did the prodigal's father say my son was? Dead. My lord, if you don't see this I see He said the beggar died, meaning he was out of the bond of the covenant. Because the Bible said he that liveth in sin is dead while he lives. Read. And was to be carried by the malakim into Abraham's Abraham's bosom. Now he died and he was going to be carried by the angels where? Abraham's bosom. Now isn't that a funny choice of words? Not heaven, not the kingdom of God, but Abraham's bosom. bosom. Because ladies and gentlemen, who was it that boasted that Abraham was their father? Judah.
84 Right. The Pharisees. Why did they Why did they tell Jesus they didn't need salvation? Because Abraham is our father. They Judah was in the book When the Bible talks about the bosom it's the loin. That's right. They come from the loins of Abraham. But Ephraim was dead from the Abrahamic covenant. Right. They were no longer in the Abrahamic covenant cuz they had left the land. So they're dead. Read. The rich man also died and was buried. Now ain't that funny? They both died on the same day. Rich man died same day Lazarus died. Come on people, wake up. But the rich man died because why?
85 Both Judah and Ephraim committed harlotries. He put both of them away. So now they're both dead. Read. And after the grave he was raised up and could see he was in his original state. here we go. Here's where all the false doctrine comes about life after death. They think this is talking about the the grave. Uh but they think it's talking well the Bible the King James version said he went to hell. Right. See brother Vine, it says Lazarus rich oh the rich man went to hell. Not what it says. There's four meanings for the word hell in your Bible. Hades, Sheol, Tartarus.
86 When you got when you understand these different meanings of hell, this meaning happens to be the grave. Right. Meaning they are both dead to God. So after they both died, what did the rich man do? And he saw Abraham from a distance and Lazarus in his bosom. Now uh-oh, the last shall be first again. Right. Amen. Judah looks over here and sees these people that were beggars back in the Abrahamic covenant. Say it darling. He looks over and sees what the prodigal son's older brother saw. Same thing. He saw that somehow he had had one up on him.
87 That that which was supposed to be first is looking over here at somebody that beat him to Abraham's bosom. Back to the covenant. Abraham represents the covenant. That's right. Now read what happens. Then he cried and said, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me." Now what does he want? He ain't trying to go to heaven. He wants back in the Abrahamic covenant. He is jealous. Right. I told you at the beginning, we're going to make Judah jealous. Well, here's jealousy. He sees you and I that were not commandment keepers. We didn't keep Sabbath. We didn't keep the commandment. We lived among the pigs.
88 And we were outside Jerusalem with the dogs. What did Jesus tell that little woman that wanted to be healed? She wanted the crumbs and and and and and he told her that the dogs uh Even the dogs yes. Even the dogs eat from the master's table because he called the Gentiles dogs. Lazarus was among the dogs. And Judah gets jealous. When he sees you and I somehow we wound up in Abraham's covenant. Right. How did that happen? Because the Bible says Paul says that when you come to Messiah, you become Abraham's seed. Yeah. You become Hebrew. You cross over. Somebody find that scripture for me.
89 We need to read that one. Just type in Abraham's seed. I want you to read this. I'm going to show you what happens when you accept Jesus Christ as your Messiah. Yeshua You may have been dead away from the covenant of God. Right. But because of the cross they are out of covenant because they killed the Messiah. Mhm. We were out of covenant, but now while they're out, we're coming back in. Right. Somebody read for me about you are Abraham's seed. Come on, let's see this. Can we find it, somebody? Where is it? Galatians 3:29 Read. Galatians 3:29 and we're going to hurry up.
90 Galatians 3:29 Ephesians, Philippians, Galatians, Colossians No, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, sorry. Right there. Let's read it together. And if you are as the Messiah If you are in Christ then you are a seed of Abraham. You have become a child of who? Abraham. You are now in Abraham's bosom. That's right. That's right. Wow. heirs according to the promise. You are now an heir, not them. They're dead. That's right. Why? They've rejected the Messiah. Yeah. They are out of covenant. But you are back in covenant. They're dead. Today, they're dead. That's right. And you have come back alive.
91 And you're up here in Abraham. So now they're jealous. Keep reading. Send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. Now, isn't this funny? If this is a story about hell, people in hell, why you going to be talking to Abraham? Right, you can't. For him to send somebody to get you out of hell. Right. Come on, people. He said, "No, no, no. What I want is What is that?" He said, "Bring me a little water." Because the water is the word of God. Bring me back into the covenant of the word, the law of God through Father Abraham. Lazarus, bring me what you've got.
92 me what you've got. Hallelujah. Amen. Why? Because it's going to be Ephraim that welcomes Judah back during the millennial reign. It will be us that will bring them to the covenant. That's why Jesus was telling him, "Judah, don't think you're all that, Mr. Pharisee. There's going to come a day when those that were not my children will come back to the covenant and they will bring you the gospel of temple water, the gospel, and put it on your tongue that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation." Call me a water boy. Call me a water boy. I've got the gospel.
93 You must be saved through Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah. Call me a water boy. Feel my strength now. Call me a water boy. Because Mr. Jew, I don't care how much you've kept the Sabbath. I don't care how many holy days you've kept. I don't care how you're eating your food. Until you come through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, you are dead in your sins. Tell Lazarus. Tell Lazarus. You know why Jesus told him this story? Cuz these people were sitting there mocking Jesus. They were telling him, "We don't need your sacrifice. Abraham's our daddy.
94 We've never broke the commandments." And he said, "You're breaking them right now. Just because of your attitude, because of your mind, you're breaking them." They said, "We don't need your salvation. We don't because we're not sinners." "We've never committed adultery." And Jesus said, "If you looked on a woman and even thought about it, you're a sinner." But he said to them, he's talking to them, "One day you're going to die. And these people are going to bring you the water. The gospel of the cross. The gospel of the cross.
95 You're going to tell them, "Come." This has nothing to do with life after death. This has to do with a covenant after death. My God from Zion. Read. But Abraham said, "Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your blessing. But Abraham is going to See, here's the older brother. Right. Here's the older brother. Telling the father, "I never left Jerusalem." Right. And here Abraham is telling that older brother, "I blessed you in every way possible." Read. While Lazarus received only evil, but now he is But Lazarus was scattered to the nations, being tormented. He was forgotten.
96 While you fared sumptuously every day. Paul said, "What advantage does a Jew have?" He says, "In every way." For to them was given the covenant of God. Paul said, "To what advantage does every Jew have?" He said, "Every advantage." To them was given the Sabbath day. Read. And you are in the place of examination. But now, while they're coming back up, I've put you What does the King James version say right there? Instead of examination. Now you are tormented. Jealous. While he is comforted. If you go read your Bible, when you see the word comforted, it has to do with the day of your visitation.
97 Now I'm visiting him while rejecting you. You're going to be tormented. Well, Lord, how long? Let me show you. Stay with me. I want to show you something now. I want to show you what he's doing here. Go to the book of Hosea. Go to the book of Hosea. Hallelujah. Hang tight with me, everybody. Hosea 6 and 2. Now, what does he tell the tribe of Judah? You're fixing to go into torment. Anybody ever heard of Hitler? Yes. You're fixing to go into torment. But how long? Hosea has a prophecy for you. Let's read Hosea 6 and verse Let's start at 1. Come and let us return to Yahweh. Now, who is this?
98 Judah. Judah saying, "Let us return to Yahweh." When does that happen? When they look up and say, "Father Abraham, send us water." They're ready to return. Read. Although he has torn, yet he will heal us. Although he has tormented us, what did he tell the rich man? Now you're going to be what? In torment. Tormented. You're going to be torn. Read. He was wounded, but he will he will bind us up. Who wounded the Jewish people? Yahweh. He has hurt us. Do you know why?
99 Because you stood before him and said, "Let his blood be on our children and our children's children." You asked for the torment because you didn't need the Messiah. And now you dead. But after a certain time, Judah is going to say, "Now let us return to Yahweh." When is that going to happen? Read. After 2 days, he will revive us. After The last days. Two After 2 days. Read. In the third day In the third day. Read. He will raise us up. He's going to raise us back to life. Read. And we'll we will live in his sight. We will live in his sight. When does that happen? After 2,000 years. 2 days.
100 And then at the beginning of the third day, which is really the seventh day. At the beginning of the third day, he's going to take that rich man that died and went to hell and was in torment. And that rich man, because of Lazarus, is going to say, "Let us return to Yahweh after 2,000 years." Hallelujah. Yes. For 2 days, he's tormented us. He's sent Hitler to hunt for us. We've been anti-Semitic all over the world, hated by everybody, tormented. For how many days? 2 days. How many years? 2,000. They've been tormented. But notice what's been happening with Ephraim during that 2,000 years.
101 The Holy Ghost poured out upon us. The spirit of God, revivals across the world in Ephraim, calling us out of our sin, calling us to salvation for these 2 days while they've been tormented. Hallelujah. Because they asked for it. Right. Let his blood be on our children. Read the rest of the parable and I'm closing. Ooh, Lord, let me get back to it. Let's go back to Luke. Read this parable. When I get done today, your Bible will open up before you as it never has. He'll lift up his eyes. And besides all this, there is a great separation fixed between us and you.
102 So that those who might want to There's a separation between Ephraim now and you. You know what the only thing that will bring that separation is the cross of Christ. There's a great gulf now. They've crossed that gulf. The finished work of the cross. They've come to the cross. And they've started taking your place. There's a great gulf between us. And if you want to get rid of the gulf, you've got to come to the cross. Read. So that those who might want to pass from this side to you cannot. Those that say, "I just want to be over there with Ephraim." You can't.
103 There's no such thing as getting rid of the gulf. Right. There's no such thing as saying, "I think I want to be in that camp." There's a great gulf that stops you from being here. It's the gulf of knowing you need a savior. Ooh, because Abraham is your father. There's a gulf there. And there's one bridge that crosses that gulf and gets rid of it. And it's a wooden bridge that stretches out wide. And that's the only way to get from there to here. Amen. Thank God for the cross of Jesus Christ. Thank God for the cross of Yeshua the Messiah. You know what it did to that big old gulf?
104 It made it a step away. One step to the altar. Gets rid of that gulf. Read. Then the rich man said, "Because of this, I beg you, Father, that you would send to him to my father's house." Now, notice this. I'll tell you what, Judah, guess how many brothers Judah had by his mother, Leah. He had five brothers. Five tribes of Israel that belonged to his mother, Leah. This is how we know this is talking about the tribe of Judah cuz he had five brothers. He said, "I'll tell you what, go to those other tribes." Read.
105 For I have five brothers that he might testify to them, or they too may come to this place of examination. Read. Abraham said to him, "They have Moses, the law and the prophets. Let them listen to them." Who listen? He's talking about those that have the law and the prophets. Read so I can finish this up. Then he said, "No, Father Abraham, No, Father Abraham. for if one came back from the dead to them, they would repent." No, Father, but if somebody would come back from the dead, they would believe. Listen to what he said.
106 But he said to him, "If they will not listen to Moses, the law and the prophets, they would not be persuaded though one rose from the dead." And that happened because one did rise from the dead. And they were not persuaded. Right. Wow. One did rise. Yes. And those brothers today are still not persuaded. But as Ephraim presents to them a resurrected Messiah that loves his father's law, that keeps the Sabbath, that keeps the holy days, that eats right, that lives right, that walks right, that will persuade Judah. Hallelujah. And his five brethren. Quickly, let's finish.
107 Running out of strength now. Well, that was the last verse of that uh All your life you thought this was a story about hell. Right. I don't know anybody that don't believe that's a story about hell. Right. But you know better now. This is a story about you. And during the millennium what you're going to be doing to our Jewish brothers and sisters. Introducing them to the to the real Christ, not the antichrist. Right. We've presented the antichrist to them so long that they will never accept him. That's right. But there is a new day that is upon us. Hallelujah to Yahweh. Praise the Lord.
108 Praise the Lord.
Summary
Pastor Vaughn teaches part two of Two Houses of Israel doctrine, explaining how Judah and Ephraim represent two separated houses prophesied to be reunited. The teaching uses parables of Yahshua—particularly the prodigal son and Lazarus in the rich man's torment—to reveal that Ephraim (the lost ten tribes scattered among nations) is being called out and will provoke Judah to jealousy through Torah-obedient living. The core message is that God is not currently saving all mankind but is specifically restoring the covenant people of Israel through two phases: first calling Ephraim from the nations, then at the second coming reuniting them with Judah to rebuild the tabernacle of David.
