THE END TIME SOLUTION TO REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY

THE END TIME SOLUTION TO
REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY!

By Rabbi/Brother Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky

Part Three On Israel’s Exciting, and Glorious End Time Restoration!

The hideous falsehood known as replacement theology has been a cancer in theological circles for the past two millennia that just seems to refuse to go away. While replacement theology takes on different applications, and modes, it is a theology originated by the early non Jewish fathers of the so called "Christian Church". It coldly states that a new Rome centered, and Roman based ecclesiastical organization called "the church", is the "new Israel". This new Israel, would now forever replace Jewish Israel, since Yahweh permanently rejected the Jews for killing their Messiah, His Son. Extreme proponents of replacement theology have even gone so far as to claim that Yahweh, the mean, and cruel despot, was the Elohim of the Old Covenant Jews, as opposed to Yahshua who is the forever loving, kind, and compassionate Elohim who had REPLACED YAHWEH AS LORD OF "THE CHURCH" OR THE SO CALLED "NEW ISRAEL". In other words, Yahshua’s people have replaced the Father’s people.

This hideous doctrine is by no means a small theological side issue to be argued in a local pub. It has been at the forefront of antisemitism, Judeo-phobia, and has fully provided fuel for tragic historical events such as the Spanish Inquisition, the Catholic Crusades, the ouster of the Jews from every European country, as well as the Nazi holocaust. As history clearly demonstrates, Martin Luther, and other Protestant reformers blueprinted both the call, and the plans for the annihilation of the Jewish nation from Europe, and later the world by providing "so called Christians", with biblical justification to perpetrate genocide on world Jewry. Adolph Hitler knew full well that he could find theological approval, and support from these church folks. The inbred functionalism of this spiritual cancer amongst those that preach Yahshua is so widespread that it cannot be fully reversed, and eliminated until Yahshua’s millennial reign begins shortly when He returns to the earth. Even such seemingly benign church doctrines such as "Kingdom Now" theology or "Dominion" theology, where the so called "church" will christianize the world through the establishment of the bible as a global constitution, and whereby all world powers, and authorities will be won to, and taken over by Christendom, are nothing more than new attempts at replacing the "troublesome Jews". Wasn’t this flawed global christianization program, whereby Yahshua would merely take over a globally loyal populace converted through church efforts, already tried numerous times? Historically they were called the Crusades, Inquisitions, and Pogroms. Was it not the Crusaders who were attempting to take the globe by the sword, and convert, and subdue it by the gospel?

The theology of "Dominion Now" or "Kingdom Now", is nothing but a papal farce, designed to enlist Protestants in a new age attempt to liquidate the Jewish race, by theology rather than by a sword. They believe twentieth century man will not respond favorably to any elimination of the Jewish nation via bloodletting. Therefore in these last days, we see a major resurgence in "church" theology, designed to subdue, and eliminate the Jew. In these various applications of replacement theology, the Jew has no future whatsoever unless he agrees to become one with "the church", and assimilate his precious customs, feasts, seventh day Sabbaths, and the rest of his national identity through incorporation or more accurately through disappearance, and integration within "the church".

These hideous theologies call anything Jewish to be anti Christ, and legalistic. Jewish practices are not welcome in their church systems. It is simply fascinating to me that "the church" has this insatiable desire to institute biblical law, and church sovereignty over the globe by spreading Yahweh’s laws, when one of the major errors within Christianity is the very rejection, and the denial of the validity of first covenant instruction in New Covenant times.

The so called "church" system has repeatedly, and pridefully proclaimed to its adherents that the Torah or the laws of first covenant Israel are passed away, and nailed to the cross, and have therefore been replaced by the second covenant law, which is love, baby, love. In other words, this man made ecclesiastical organization started, funded, and headquartered in Rome, now wants to force their paganized Christendom down the throats of the worlds populace, with obedience to THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, and other teachings all based on the Decalogue, all the while instructing her very own members that it is not applicable to the New Covenant "church". Now you talk about confusion! How can a man made ecclesiastical system that is boastfully, and wrongfully antinomian (anti-Torah), at it’s very core theology, force the world’s populace to submit to rules, and regulations that they themselves loath as having preceded from the Jewish despot named Yahweh, and His Jews? Remember that in true replacement theology a pagan blonde haired, and blue eyed European, pork eating Jesus (the English translation of the sun deity Zeus), has replaced Yahweh the Father as LORD (from the pagan deity Lourdes), over his "church" (from the pagan circular ritual conducted by the Celts).

The most disturbing part of all this is that replacement theology continues to spread overtly, and covertly in these last days seemingly unchecked, and undetected by born again folks of all denominations, as well as by Messianic Jews. As this study progresses you will find, and discover the alarming fact that modern day Messianic Judaism has in most cases fallen into the same trap of replacement theology that they loath, and despise. Messianic Judaism has every right to loath replacement theology. However through error, and pride they not only forsake the true solution to the error of replacement theology, (which is readily available by studying the scriptures accurately with an open mind), but worse yet, they have unknowingly become accomplices to the doctrine itself.

Before we demonstrate the biblically prescribed means for the elimination of this hideous creed, we will learn a few more insights into this doctrine of replacement theology. The first error of this false doctrine is that the church has replaced Israel (the Jews) as the historic continuation of the people of Israel. According to this line of reasoning, Jewish Israel ceased from being a people, with a historic relevancy to Yahweh at Pentecost in 33 AD. In other words, a total cessation of all eternal promises, and blessings which had been promised to the Jews, had come about because of the New Covenant "church", who unilaterally declared the first covenant promises to the Jews null, and void. The truth of course is that the physical descendents of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, had, and will continue to have a crucial, and vital role in the historical, and redemptive purposes of the Father. Replacement theology declares that the Jews are no different than any other people group, and that their chosen status was self appointed, and has ceased when their "European" non Jewish (Jesus) went to the cross.

The truth of course is that no other nation before or since has been earmarked by Yahweh to work out His redemptive, and earthly will, as has Israel (12 tribes). Replacement theology teaches that unless or until Jews get saved, they are cursed, and have no future or national calling, unless they willingly join, and incorporate themselves into the man-made "church". This fallacy teaches that unsaved Jews are lower than other unsaved peoples from other nationalities because they are in fact the murderers of Yahshua, and therefore eternally guilty of deocide. The truth is of course just the opposite. Even in their unbelief they are favored, and have given life, and hope to the world by their preservation of the Word of Yahweh, in their role of guardians (Romans 3:2), and in their re-habitation of the waste places of the land of Israel. Romans 11:15 reminds us that even in their status as unbelieving Jews, that the world was reconciled to Yahweh by that very status. Romans 11:15 then talks about the dawn of a new day when Jewish Israel will be raised from the dead spiritually to receive favor. Romans 11:26 is a clear reminder that all Israel (Judah & Ephraim) will be saved! Does that sound like a people permanently replaced, and with no future outside of the Roman Church, and her harlot offspring? Jewish Israel has been, and will continue to be supernaturally preserved for the revelation to her of her beloved Messiah Yahshua, in whose Name they have suffered so very much. His return will bring them much love, even as His first advent has brought them so much sorrow from the "so called church".

Replacement theology states that starting in 33 AD at Shavuot or Pentecost, the Jews inherited all the curses of the Torah found in Deuteronomy chapters 28-33, while keeping none of the promised blessings outlined in those same chapters. The promises of blessing has been separated from the curses, with the curses falling upon Jewish Israel, and naturally the blessings falling into the lap of the Pontiff Maximus (Supreme Divine King), the unholy father in Rome, and his disciples. "The church" superimposes a doctrine called "the birth of the church at Pentecost", to justify this separation between Jewish cursing, and Christian blessing. The truth is that the clear promises of blessing to Jewish/Israel are often unconditional, such as the promise of the land of Israel. He has never revoked this promised land blessing. Taken to its false, and illogical conclusion if the church is the new Israel replacing Jewish Israel as the chosen people, then "the church" is the rightful owner of the land of Israel, since the land was a blessing, and not a curse. According to popery, (which by the way still does not recognize either the modern state of Israel or the set apart city of Jerusalem), the land of Israel belongs to them, since they are now Israel instead of or in place of Jewish Israel. If your blood is boiling by now welcome to the club. In Protestant circles even in some Hebrew Christian circles (a dying dinosaur if there ever was one), the eternal unconditional promise of Eretz Yisrael to all Israel (12 tribes including the Jews), is often referred to as the Palestinian Land Covenant. Did you catch that terminology? Despite the living reality of the modern state of Israel, many within the so called "church", have, and continue to refer to Israel as Palestine, named after the Palestinians the modern day descendents of the Philistines who were the ancient enemies of Israel. No wonder the unregenerate pope refuses to recognize Jerusalem, since according to Rome’s replacement theology, and her privately trained seers, very shortly the Vatican will be moving her headquarters, or will at least attempt to, to Jerusalem. After all if the "church" has replaced Jewish Israel, she needs a Jewish capital to govern from thereby sealing this replacement not only of a people but also of her eternal capital. Rest assured the King of the Jews will not, ever allow that to happen despite the wishful thinking of papists, and ecumenical supporters worldwide. For a more favorable treatment of Romanism why not study Revelation chapters 17 through 19, and see if perhaps the Heavenly Father, (the true Holy Father), is more loving, and tolerant toward false apostate Roman ecclesiastical heresy than Your Arms To Israel. (Just Kidding)!

Replacement theology has the chutzpah (nerve) to teach that the scriptures must be read spiritually, and absolutely not taken literally, since to do so would force one to conclude that Jewish Israel is an eternally chosen, and recognizable people with a special calling, and a special land, over, and above all the peoples of the globe. In order for the students of scripture to be made to believe in the doctrine of replacement theology, a demand is made upon them to understand that the promises made to Jewish Israel must not be taken literally. In other words when the first covenant uses terms like, Zion, Temple, Jerusalem, promised land, they are all now synonyms for the so called "church". This craziness has also settled itself in publishing houses that publish scripture. The BB Kirkbride Company in Indiana that publishes the widely used Thompson Chain Reference Bible, has multiple chapter captions in Isaiah, and other first covenant books that read "Isaiah comforts the church", or "the church is consoled". Time out! When or where did the church exist in Isaiah’s day? I have even heard Christian teachers state that if Adam, and Eve hadn’t fallen into original sin, that they would have had continual "church" with Elohim. Can you believe that? Taken to its illogical conclusion Adam, and Eve went to church until they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden.

The truth is simple, and Yahweh is not psychotic. When He uses the term Jerusalem, it is a literal city He has in mind. When He refers to the nation of Israel, it is the12 tribes He has in mind. When He refers to the Jews, it is the Jews He has in mind. When He refers to Zion, it is the land, and Mt. Moriah He has in mind. These are all literal terms, and titles of different, concepts, places, and locations. To boldly, and incorrectly teach that these are all interchangeable, and synonymous terms for the "so called Christian church", is an outright attack on the literal infallibility, and inspiration of scripture, let alone a direct attack on the Heavenly Father’s linguistic intelligence!

This doctrine is so deeply imbedded in "church" circles of all denominations, that unless the biblical final solution to this mess is applied immediately, and without reservation, then we must await the arrival of Yahshua Himself to teach us correctly. (Two excellent works on this subject are "Our Hands Are Stained With Blood" by Dr. Michael Brown, and The Road To Holocaust by Hal Lindsey, where the above facts are totally documented with direct quotes, and actions of the early "church" fathers). The problem with waiting for Yahshua to straighten things out at His return, is that by then we will be judged by Yahshua at His return. He reminds us that by our words we will be justified, and by our words (teachings ) we will be condemned (Matt. 12:37). In James (Yaakov 3:1),Yahshua reminds us that not many should seek to be teachers of scripture, since we will receive the greater judgment for the errors we dispense. Rav Shaul (Paul), also confirms this truth when he declares that if we are willing to judge ourselves we will not be judged by our Master Yahshua (First Corinthians 11:31).

Replacement theology must be cleaned up, and must be cleaned up immediately. That is beyond question but the problem for true pure hearted believers everywhere is how? The urgency of the moment cries out for a bible based solution!

In our attempt to correct this problem we must first demonstrate that replacement theology is fueled, and nurtured by a false belief system that declares via various teachings that the "church" is the New Covenant bride of Yahweh, when scripture over, and over talks about Israel, and Israel alone being Yahweh’s bride. In order for Yahweh to be true to His Word, and not break the scriptures about covenant marriage faithfulness, He cannot have two brides, neither can He set aside, and divorce one group of people in place of, or in favor of another. To do that He would have to violate, and break literally hundreds of scriptures where He cautioned mankind not to practice spiritual adultery through double devotion. Yahshua stated that the Creator did not intend for mankind to dispose one wife in favor of another (Matt.19:3-8). If the so called "church" is a separate entity from Israel (12 tribes), then we are faced with Yahweh being a practicing spiritual adulterer, with two brides called the Jews, and "the church". This would violate the scriptural principal that Yahweh only has had one bride called to covenant faithfulness in order that through the set apartness of that one bride, His witness would go forth in the earth. The one people known as His bride can produce multiple witnesses on Yahweh’s behalf, but they must all proceed from the same nation or the same people. If something man made called the "church", really does exist, then how can we explain Yahshua’s words where He tells us that when all is said, and done, through His blood atonement, and redemption that He, and His Father will be left not with two flocks, but rather with ONE (John 11:52, John 10:16)! In John 10:16, Yahshua states that there will be one flock not two. Starting in 325AD through the blasphemous efforts of Constantine, and his cohorts, the non Jewish disciples divorced themselves from their believing Jewish brethren, forsook the teachings of the eyewitness apostles, (Shabbat, Passover, celebration of the resurrection of Yahshua on the Feast of First Fruits or Bikkurim), in favor of a new blend of Messianic faith, with the Roman emperor as Pontificus Maximus (pope), which naturally was Constantine, leading the way. Thus were established two flocks claiming Yahshua as Elohim. One legal with apostolic sanction, instruction, and teaching, and one whose loyalty was split between faith, and state, between Yahshua, and Miriam (Mary), between Yahweh the Son, and the invincible sun, and its forbidden worship! This new flock made a total divorce, and separation from their believing Jewish brethren who upheld the sanctity of Torah, and the glory of Messiah. Thus many early divorcees in this new breakaway flock mixed or synchronized sun worship with Son worship, bringing the two into a perverted form of Messianic pantheism, where all is Elohim, and Elohim is all. In this perversion Yahshua shares His glory with myriads of saints, statues, beads, idols, and His mother!

The sad history of this breakaway, illegal, and renegade flock is well documented in any world book or encyclopedia, and space does not allow for further elaboration on this historical fact. An overwhelming desire to practice such amalgamated worship as well as hate Jews, gave birth to this cult. This flock even went so far as to say that the Messianic Scriptures that were written primarily to declare Yahweh’s faithfulness in fulfilling the promise of Messiah to His people Israel, was a New Testament replacing an Old one, thereby breaking the continuity, and relevancy of all of scripture! The anti-Semitic terms (Old, and New Testament), were first used, and later propagated by Jerome in his translation of the scriptures into the Latin vulgate, where the term New Testament first appeared. The truth of course is that there is nothing new about the New Covenant. It merely confirms the continuity between the promise of Messiah, and the fulfillment of that promise through Messiah. It is a continuation of the Torah!

The Elohim of Yisrael has one covenant people who keep both covenants, celebrate Yahweh’s Feasts, Yahweh’s Shabbat, and who are eternally chosen by grace through faith. The Elohim Of Israel has had, does now have, and will always have only one people that He chose to be married to, and that is Israel. Israel means an overcoming victorious prince with Yahweh. He states verbally as well as through principal, that He only has one bride not two. If He doesn’t have bad hair days, and doesn’t choose two brides both named Israel, one day loving one, and on another day loving the other, then we are left to conclude that the redeemed born again community of New Covenant Messianic faith is the Israel of Yahweh as Rav Shaul states in Galatians 6:16. In this Israel of Yahweh you will find both Jewish, and non Jewish believers. All those from within the nations that are redeemed by the blood of Yahshua join the commonwealth of Israel, where they are said to hold literal citizenship (Ephesians 2:12-19). Non Jewish believers (Ephraimites), join or rejoin Israel, and by virtue of this rejoining, restoration, and rebuilding of David’s fallen Tabernacle (Acts 15:14-16, Amos 9:8-11), Israel is alive, and well, thriving, and flourishing under Yahshua, Israel’s King. Those who claim to be "in the church", or part of "the church", are walking outside the recognized boundaries of scriptural Israel.

The true born again body of New Covenant Israel is a single commonwealth made up of believing Jews, believing Ephraimites, (Hosea1:10-11), as well as some perhaps true Gentiles. However we must remember that the Father’s primary stated purpose in sending Yahshua as Messiah was to restore the Tabernacle Of David which had fallen in 921BCE, and to rebuild the goodly fair olive tree of divinely planted Israel! (Judah, and Ephraim according to Jeremiah 11:13-16). In Matthew 15:24, Yahshua said He came only for the lost sheep of the House of Israel. He did not say He came for Jews or Gentiles. Remember that the Greek word for Gentiles is ethnos, which is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Goyim. That is why your bible does not always talk about the ten tribes of Ephraim being saved through Yahshua. When Yahshua saves the nations of the world within that global net, guess who you will find turning up? The individual descendents of the ten northern tribes return as individual members from amongst the nations from whence they had been preserved (Isaiah 49:5-6), and called out, no longer recognizable or even identifiable as Israelites. In Hosea 7:8, scripture states of Ephraim/Israel that " Ephraim be-amim hue yitbolel", which literally means "Ephraim will be assimilated amongst the nations! Notice it does not say within Judah! According to the Talmud this understanding is central, basic, and paramount to any form of legitimate Judaism. In Yebamot 17A, it states "the lost ten tribes were legally classified as Gentiles to all intents, and purposes, even though they are destined to return, at the present time they have the status of non Jews, and that is how it was prophesied their status would be". Therefore any form or branch of Judaism that fails to recognize that Ephraim has become the last days Gentiles of the earth, and of the nations, is a branch of Judaism that denies a basic, and cardinal tenet of the biblical Jewish faith since in this case Talmud, and scripture agree!

Notice that contrary to claims that the ten tribes were swallowed up by the modern day Jewish people, the Jewish faith teaches the opposite. It teaches that the ten tribes became Gentiles in every legal sense of the term. Please don’t get angry at Your Arms To Israel for teaching this precious reality, and deviating in this one point from the rest of Messianic Judaism! In my prophetic office, I must be loyal first, and foremost to revealed scriptural truth, rather than man made steering committees. Go, and get annoyed at many born again leaders, who continue to tell so called "Gentile believers", that they are by no means physical Israel, and that they are at best something called "spiritual Israel", and at worst associate members, who cannot vote, and who have no legitimate right to be called returning Israel, since that right is reserved only for Judahites, those descended from just three tribes!

If you are a congregational leader who finally sees the truth about true New Covenant Israel being composed of the ongoing reunification of the two houses of Israel, then write to us, and we will enlist your assembly into the Union of Two House Messianic Congregations immediately with no questions asked or long forms to be filled out, as you enlist in the fastest growing Messianic organization in the world, made up of Israelites from both houses along with grafted in Gentiles, who become Israel upon their engrafting!

In light of this reality, His people are the one single born again people of Israel, who are spiritually saved, and redeemed, but who also have legitimate claims to being physically descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The second breakaway, renegade outlaw flock, that called themselves "the church", would not have had this need to be Israel, and replace the Jews as Israel, if they would have had this revelation that most of them were already physical Israel. They would not have been in such a hurry to divorce themselves from their Jewish believing brethren, and their Hebraic roots. James in James 1:1, does not write to two communities of New Covenant faith, rather he addresses the body of Yahshua as the 12 tribes. In First Corinthians 10:1-9, Rav Shaul (Paul) a Jewish Rabbi, and completed Pharisee, stated that the physical fathers of the Corinthian assembly or ekklessia, were the very ones that along with his physical fathers (notice in verse one the term "our"), left Egypt, and disobeyed Yahweh in the wilderness. Over, and over again the inspired writings of the Renewed (second) Covenant through Messiah teach us that Yahshua came to set up His ekklessia or His called out assembly. Since He along with all other New Covenant writers were inspired to write about the one single flock or called out assembly known as Israel (Galatians 6:16), therefore any other flock must be illegal, fleshly, and illegitimate. Once we ascertain that Yahweh is not in any shape, form, or manner, a practicing, and confused polygamist, then we can recognize what scripture clearly teaches. We will find that non Jewish believers in Yahshua (Ephraim), were called to leave behind their penchant for paganism, and join the redeemed Jewish people in New Covenant Israel. It was not, and is not the Father’s will for believing Jews to leave Israel, and all that that entails, by joining something manmade, and unrecognizable to the believing Jew, as well as to Yahweh Himself. The called out believers from the nations (Ephraim), as well as those Jews called out of traditional Rabbinical Judaism, are called in scripture the ekklessia of Yahshua. Remember that Yahshua came to save Jews from sin not from Judaism.

Once we have a proper understanding about the term ekklessia used scores of times in the Messianic Scriptures, then we will have our final solution to the disgraceful disease of replacement theology!

Everywhere our English bibles use the word or the phrase "church", it is a terrible translation, mistranslation, and perverted understanding of the Greek word ekklessia, along with its intended original meaning. The English translators as well as earlier monks, and papists, took the word ekklessia which literally, and quite simply means "the ones called out", or a "called out assembly", and translated the word as "church". The result of this terrible action gave license to the early Jew haters of the 4th century AD, to pin this unscriptural moniker (church) on themselves, thereby allowing themselves ("non Jewish "believers"), to reorganize, and reconstitute themselves under Constantine, and his amalgamation of Messianic faith with sun, and emperor worship. These breakaway renegades proudly used this word "church" derived from the word "kirch" of Celtic pagan origin, to SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM THE NEW COVENANT COMMUNITY OF MESSIANIC FAITH, KNOWN INTERCHANGEABLY AS ISRAEL, THE NAZARENES OF ISRAEL, OR THE "WAY" OF ISRAEL.

This separate breakaway entity based in Rome, then declared herself to be the new, and improved Israel, the true Israel that had arrived to do Yahshua’s will, and eliminate Jewish Israel by any means including the sword. This separate entity did not recognize Yahweh as the Sovereign who sent The Son they claimed to love. This separate entity changed the Feasts, dietary laws, and the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and claimed to have no ties whatsoever with Jewish Israel. This separate entity wrestled the title of Israel away from the early Messianic community that included all nations, and stated that the saved remnant of the Jewish nation was not welcome as Jews in this renegade separate entity. This separate entity called itself "the church", and its adherents were called Christians. Acts 11:26 confirms this truth by stating that the early disciples were first called Christians. Notice that Yahweh never called born again Israelites by that name, rather it was man who called non Jewish believers Christians. Later these non Jewish "so called Christians", separated into the separate entity that for the next two millennia would be called "the church". With two separate entities vying for the much treasured title of Israel, is it any wonder that Jewish Israel has become the victim rather than the covering for Messianic faith?

Keeping in mind that the Greek word for church is ekklessia, we will allow scripture, and history to explain to us that ekklessia in Greek was understood by all the writers of inspiration to be a reference to Israel, and the people of Israel. Approximately 150 years before Yahshua the blessed Holy One was born in Bethlehem of Judea, seventy of the leading traditional non Messianic rabbis got together to translate the Hebrew Tanach (First Covenant) from Hebrew which was the original language of inspiration, to the widely spoken common Greek language which was the universal language of that time. The translation produced became known as the Septuagint in honor of the seventy scholars who translated the work.

Every time the 70 traditional rabbis came to the Hebrew words Kehilah, Kehelat or Adat, they without fail translated the words into the Greek word "ekklessia". This same word is translated in English as "church" in the Brit Chadashah. Kehela, Kehelat, and Adat are all titles used to designate Yahweh’s single covenant people, Israel. In both covenants whenever ekklessia is used in either the Hebrew Septuagint or the Greek New Covenant, it never refers to any group other than twelve tribe Israel! From a linguistic standpoint alone, the word ekklessia could not mean "church". The assembly or congregation or gathering of Israelites was, is, and always will be the ekklessia.

Some modern translations are at long last correcting previous erroneous English translations. More, and more newer translations have thankfully eliminated the term "church", and are rendering ekklessia correctly as assembly. Following that same line of understanding into the Messianic or New Covenant scriptures, we see that all references to ekklessia or the ekklessia of Yahshua, or the ekklessia in Yahweh, means the assembly of Yahweh. Since He is the Yahweh-Elohim of Israel, the born again community of faith are the people of Yahweh, or the people of Israel. The people of Israel make up a single flock that hears the Good Shepherd’s voice, and obeys His commandments (Rev. 22:14).

So we see that Satan knowing this concept of one flock, attempted to erase the Jewish people by having them join the manmade "church", in order to pull them out of national Israel, and turn them into Roman citizens loyal to paganism. The idea being if all Jews that are saved join a man made institution, they will lose their Jewish nationality, and within a few generations genocide will in effect have subtly taken place. (Of course when this plan didn’t work Satan tried the old forced baptism, and forced conversion method done at the point of a sword!)

The truth of the whole matter is that the opposite holds true. All peoples, tongues, and tribes are called to join believing Israel, as the true divinely created, and ordained ekklessia of Israel. In this divinely sanctioned version of New Covenant Israel, all paganism, and foreign detestable idols should be left at the door, and not brought to the altar. In Matthew 16:18, Yahshua tells Keefa (Peter), that the Heavenly Father had given Keefa divine revelation that Yahshua the Messiah would build His ekklessia against which the gates of hell would not, and could not prevail. The word here translated "church" is ekklessia in the Greek. Yahshua is in essence saying that national Israel’s elders, and leadership, were vainly trying to rebuilt, and restore Israel by their own manmade rules, and efforts. Satan continually prevailed against that version of Israel. Yahshua on the other hand would build His version of the ekklessia (Israel), and that that Israel would continually overcome all the forces of Satan, and of darkness. Traditional replacement theology points to Matt.16:18, as some sort of proof text that Yahshua was about to create, and built something new called "the church", and furthermore that it would be something that the Jews because of their unbelief would have to deal with. What hogwash, and popycock that is! Had He intended to built a church, He would have said so, don’t you think? Instead He told this Israelite named Keefa (Peter), that He (Yahshua), would build a successful enough, and strong enough ekklessia of Israel, that would survive the onslaught of the gates of hell. What a difference! In Acts 7:38 Stephen the first Israelite martyr (not "church" martyr, since scripturally speaking "the church" never existed), confirms this marvelous truth. He states that Moshe Rabainu or Moses was with the ekklessia on Mt Sinai receiving the Torah. Stephen here refers to the giving of the Torah to the ekklessia of Israel. In the King James Version, and others as well, it states that "this is he who was in the church in the wilderness". Now either Moses went to church at Mt Sinai, or the word ekklessia means that Moses was with the assembly of Israel when he was called up to receive the Torah. Stephen the first New Covenant Israelite martyr (not church martyr), understood the same thing as Yahshua, and all the other writers of New Covenant scripture. That the ekklessia that would mushroom into the global Kingdom of Yahweh, was Israel reborn, rebuilt, reconstructed, and renewed! In none of the aforementioned verses or anywhere else in the New Covenant for that matter, is there any divine authority or sanction given for the creation of a separate entity called "the church", the Gentile church, the Gentile Christian church, or the non Jewish church, for that matter.

The prophet Jeremiah confirms this everlasting truth in Jeremiah chapter 31:verses 31-34, where he prophecies that the New Covenant will be cut with both houses of Israel, in order to forgive sin, and internalize Torah through the Brit HaLev (circumcision of the heart). These verses say nothing about the New Covenant being cut with anyone else, though other scriptures do in fact teach the salvation of the "Gentile" nations that enter into this NEW ISRAELITE COVENANT!

Therefore last days ministries that are for the most part sincere, and working very hard to reconcile "the church", and the Jews, are wasting their time at best, and are in fact becoming part of the problem as opposed to part of the solution. This ministry to "the church", is in itself a defacto false recognition that there is a separate "Gentile" entity apart from Israel called the church. HOW CAN YOU, AND I HAVE A MINISTRY OR MINISTER TO AN ENTITY THAT IS TOTALLY FICTITIOUS? LET’S GET SERIOUS! The only ministry acceptable to the Heavenly Father is a ministry to the victims of the manmade ecclesiastical system called "the church", in order to gently rebuke, reprimand, and correct them unto repentance, by renouncing separate entity theology, and practice, and by bringing them back into New Covenant Israel, where everyone is welcome, and where everyone follows Yahshua, and honors His Torah! That is true biblical teshuvah! In this New Covenant Israel, the true middle wall of partition is permanently crushed.

Let me caution those involved in ministries who in much good will are trying hard to make these two separate entitles learn how to love, and get along with each other. These two separate entities with separate loyalties (Jerusalem, and Rome), and separate Sabbaths, separate Feast days, separate thinking towards the land of Israel, are not divinely mandated to get along since they represent two different kingdoms, and two different spirits! One represents the Kingdom Of Light, the other the kingdom of darkness, and shadows. Cease, and desist from your work of flesh whereby you lean on your own understanding, or even worse on traditional understanding of just who Israel is, and is not. It is the Father’s revealed will, to have one flock with total unity, not two flocks with some common similarities, and some common areas of ecumenical understanding. Stop! Cease, and desist!! If you are really sent by Yahweh to the "church", which is a separate entity without divine sanction, it will not be to schmooze them into liking the Jews, and supporting your ministry, rather it will be to call them out of that system, BACK INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ALL ISRAEL, HER MESSIAH, AND HER ETERNAL PRECEPTS! Repent to the Father for a lack of understanding of your true call. You may have meant well, but what in fact you have been doing is continuing to nurture separate entity theology, which is the very oxygen that feeds, and enflames the nefarious fires of replacement theology, which you claim to loath, and despise. There is one people of New Covenant Israel called the ekklessia or the Israel of Yahweh (Galatians 6:16), and it is up to you, and I to became part of the solution by bringing to an end the claims of another renegade, pagan saturated, illegal, compromising man-made made system called "the church".

Isn’t it ironic that my Messianic Jewish brothers who hate replacement theology the most, and would love to put a final end to its proliferation, are teaching the very same doctrines that guarantee its survival. By teaching that the body of Yahshua is made up of Gentile believers known as "the church", and by Jewish believers known as Messianic Jews or Israel, they are virtually helping to spread the belief that these two separate mystical, and mysterious ecclesiastical bodies, become one in Yahshua. How could that be if one of the entities uses Torah as an instruction manual, and honors Yahweh’s Feasts, while the other entity burns Torahs, and refers to anything from Torah as Jewish legalism. Amos 3:3 clearly reminds us "how can two walk together except they be agreed? You cannot take two entities, and simply name, and claim unity, while both entities have no plans to adopt a single code of conduct (Torah), and while most of the time these two entities are too busy trying to replace, convert, deny or even annihilate the other entity. As long as you have two brides, and two separate entities called "the Gentile church", and "the Jews" (Israel), you will continue to have an ongoing battle royal over the title of Israel, with each staking its claim to be the real, and the true Israel at the expense of the other, with each side having its own collection of "proof texts".

Please my brethren. Be honest with yourselves, and with your own hearts. Your intentions may have been the best, but all the while you have been trying to create unity between oil, and water, and have further accelerated the spread of the disease of replacement theology, that you claim to despise. The time must end immediately for Messianic Jewish leadership to be threatened by the scriptural truth of the two houses of Israel, which is in no way, shape or form replacement theology, but rather the permanent, and lasting solution to it! Only a revelation of who Ephraim/Israel is today, will allow you to spend your time building, and rebuilding the Tabernacle Of David. I call heaven, and earth this day to record my prophetic call to the leaders of Messianic Judaism, of which I am a part, and who I consider to be my co-laborers, and friends, to recognize their unwilling proliferation of replacement theology, by withholding Israelite recognition to non Jewish believers as Ephraim/Israel, who in the most part are willing to live with Judah, not attempt to replace Judah. Withholding their true Israelite identity from them is sinful, and is labeled vexation of a brother in Isaiah 11:13-14! This vexation has fooled Ephraim into looking for his acceptance in an ecclesiastical field of dreams, that unfortunately is laced with paganism! When Messianic Jews grant the other House of Israel their rightful place, Isaiah 11:13 states that Ephraim (saved non Jewish believers),  will feel the love, and acceptance from Judah, and no longer cause the Jewish people further problems. There it is clearly outlined in Isaiah 11:1-16, and specifically verses 12-13, which are Yahweh’s outline for the end of the "church" versus "the Jewish" blood bath, and battle!

True two house theology has no room for replacement theology in it, because it refuses to recognize a false system called "the church", as separate from Israel. MESSIANIC NAZARENE YISRAELITES HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY! Messianic Jewish leaders must see the teaching on the two houses of a single people called Israel (not two entities), as the permanent final solution to replacement theology. Continuing refusal to accept the biblical, historic, and Talmudic truth of two still divided houses, with the House of Ephraim having been turned into hundreds of millions of Gentiles, as their punishment for paganism, will result in Messianic Judaism continuing to chase its proverbial tail in futile attempts to abort replacement theology!

True born again church folks must shed their orphan Annie religious clothing, and man made designations such as Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, non denominational, or non affiliated, and yes even Catholic, and call themselves what scripture calls them. Returning Israelites, who were lost before Yahshua found, and saved them. Settling for anything less than the title of Israel, with their picture restored back into the family album, will only proliferate the venomous teachings that have been brought about by their blindness to their Israelite identity. Two house restoration truth is the cure for denominationalism as well, which is nothing but a heartfelt expression of born again believers crying out for some sort of corporate identity, and belonging!

Awake, and arise oh House Of Israel so long ago outcast, and dispersed, and come out of the "church system" by returning to your brother Judah as an equal heir at the table of fellowship in Messiah’s New Covenant Israel!

More, and more Messianic Jewish rabbis are seeing two house theology as the pure final scriptural, and authoritative end to the two thousand year old problem of replacement theology. But unfortunately there are still those who see two house theology (Judah, and Ephraim), as the cause of replacement theology! Shame on you for believing the party line birthed in fear, rather than in the faith of Yahweh as He outlined the plan for Israel’s full, and glorious restoration in our day! Remember the party line is usually not correct. Remember the party line used to be that Jews cannot, and will not trust Yahshua. Boy have we seen that myth go to a deservedly quick grave. In like manner the myth that two house theology is another form of Christian replacement theology, will, and is already dying a rapid, and well deserved death. As Bob Dylan once sang: "The times they are a changin!", and they are changing for the better.

As we know or should understand, error begets error. Or to put it another way the rejection of truth breeds error. The teaching of separate entity theology has brought most of Yahshua’s body to attempt to band-aid this breech of scriptural two house truth, by installing a new heresy. This new heresy is called the physical, and spiritual Israel theory. This teaching is a frivolous attempt to explain away the self inflicted results, and wounds of separate entity theology. This heresy states that the "church" is spiritual Israel, all the while the Jewish people, and specifically the Messianic Jews are physical Israel. Why is this teaching wrong? Because it still leaves us with the unsolvable problem of two Israel's, and wrongfully portrays Yahweh as a lustful spiritual adulterer! Furthermore the spiritual versus physical Israel heresy cannot be accurate, because in order for physical Israel to be acceptable to the Father they must also become spiritual through the new birth. Also everyone who claims to be spiritual Israel, in the so called "church", are all physical beings who really do exist. This popular theory is full of flaws, and is not the solution we are looking for.

The devil doesn’t really give a hoot if you call one entity ("the church") spiritual Israel, and the Jews, physical Israel. As long as you don’t recognize the body of YAHSHUA AS A SINGLE ENTITY, THAT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY BOTH PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, IN ONE BLOOD BOUGHT, AND PRECIOUS BODY OF REDEEMED PEOPLE CALLED ISRAEL!

Therefore any Messianic group or congregation that truly wants to become part of the final solution to this dual entity problem, can do so by buying into the heaven sent truth of a single people called Israel, who are both physically descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as spiritually restored back to that very same people by the blood of Messiah. If we allow ourselves to return to the clear dictate of scripture, then we will be honored by Yahweh as part of the solution to this ongoing problem. Remember! Separate entity, or the "physical versus spiritual Israel lie", is the very life giving oxygen that fuels the nefarious consuming flames of replacement theology. THE ONLY SCRIPTURAL WAY TO END REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY IS TO REMOVE THE MANMADE "ECCLESIASTICAL CHURCH SYSTEM, AND CONCEPT", FROM OUR VOCABULARY, TEXTBOOKS, SERMONS, AND THOUGHT!

If we remove one of the two competing entities both claiming to be Israel, then the battle is over. No one can replace anyone else because we have finally recognized that Yahweh is not a polygamist allowing one bride to be Gentiles, or spiritual Israel, and another to be physical, or the "real Israel". If we come to the true irrefutable recognition that Yahshua has purchased one entity called Israel, the ekklessia of the New Covenant, then the jealousy, the warring, the vexation, the disrespect, the haughty attitudes, and all attempts at establishing either of the two competing entities as superior or more chosen, will finally, and thankfully come to an abrupt, and sudden end. Then Judah, and Ephraim may tussle as brothers in a sibling rivalry, within the family of Israel, as all natural families do, but that is a far cry from the murder fueled by jealousy, coming from two separate families, or entities!

If we straighten out our theology to match up with scripture, we will be a partaker in eliminating replacement theology, by eliminating the oxygen that feeds it which is separate entity theology. By being a forerunner in the restoration of this last days prophetic truth, we will gain tremendous rewards in heaven. By continuing to proliferate the lie of so called physical, and spiritual Israel, we play right into the hands of those who hate us so much, that they have decided to eliminate us, by replacing us through incorrect doctrine, for which they do not have to do any jail time!

The preaching of the glorious gospel of Yahshua, is the method by which, and through which the kingdom is being restored to all Israel (Acts 1:1-8). The gospel is designed to bring all nations into a single entity called New Covenant Israel, or the ekklessia of Yahshua. Verse 6 of Acts:1, tells us that Israel’s restoration was foremost on the minds of the remaining eleven talmidim at the time of Yahshua's ascension. He rebuked their desire to know the timing of Israel’s full restoration, as something that belonged only to the Sovereign Father in heaven, and then proceeded to give them the formula or the means by which the Kingdom would be restored through the gospel. Verse 8 of Acts:1, tells us this formula for building this single entity known as Israel (both simultaneously physical, and spiritual), will come to pass by first going to the Jews or the House of Judah found in Jerusalem, and Judea. Then the eleven were told as we all are, to go to Samaria (Ephraim’s former capital city), which is a direct call from the Messiah to seek out Ephraim, the other House of Israel! All historians recognize the Samaritans as having been descended form the Northern ten tribes. Finally we are to go to the outer most parts of the globe. Why? Because according to Genesis 48:19, and Isaiah 11:12, this global search via gospel light, will allow us to find the scattered sheep of Israel, the outcast seed of Ephraim/Israel, along with the dispersed seed of Jewish/Israel. Together with the past dispersions of Jewish/Israel, and the obvious outcast status of Ephraim/Israel, the globe is full of Israelite blood from both houses, thereby the necessitating of "The Great Commission" of Matthew 28:18-20. If you belong to Yahshua by grace through faith, then "EWE", must be one of them! Yahweh designed the worldwide preaching of the gospel to both redeem individuals, all the while simultaneously restoring Israel corporately. "O the riches, and wisdom of Almighty Yahweh!"

The only solution then to replacement theology, physical versus spiritual Israel theology, and separate entity theology, is the restoration of both houses of Israel. The House of Judah, Jewish/Israel and the House of Israel, Ephraim/Israel! (Study Hosea chapter one to find out how Ephraim would turn up in the last days as Gentiles, and unite with saved Jews, into one single body with the same set of instructions (Torah), and the same vision). Hosea chapter one verse 11, reminds us that the day of Jezreal or the 12 tribal re-gathering of Israel, will take place only through Messiah’s establishment of Israel as a single entity. Both houses will appoint the same King over them (Yahshua), as well as appoint the same teaching of King Messiah (Torah), as their guidebook, and instruction manual. The revelation of this last days truth, and the restoration of all Israelites from both still divided houses, will cause a cry of lament to proceed from a reunited Israel, as is beautifully taught in Hosea 2:1. We will see that non Jewish believers, are really as much physical Israelites as we ourselves are, and our response to our Messianic Nazarene Yisraelite brothers, and sisters of faith will take on a new reality, as we see them for who they really are. Not just spiritual brothers or sisters, but flesh, and blood physical Israelites, as chosen as is Jewish/Israel!

This realization in both houses of Israel, will give birth to the joyous, and wonderful heartfelt cry of reunion. "O MY PEOPLE! AMI"! This last days revelation of the restoration of both houses of Israel, will allow the spiritually discerned to see their non Jewish brothers in a new light. That light will reveal Ephraim/Israelites as fellow redeemed physical Israelites. That same light will allow Ephraim to shed his temporal denominational name tags, and in its place reclaim the title of Israel that belonged to them before 921BC, without having a compulsion to replace the Jews. As the scripture declares: "Truly great is the day of Jezreal" (the re-gathering of that which had been previously scattered!).

Ephraimites who still hold to replacement theology are in desperate need of doctrinal healing, and need a true heaven sent vision of national Israelite unity. Their thinking is sinful, and a major obstacle, and stumbling block to the ultimate, and glorious reunification of all Israel!

Where will you stand today? With the two houses OF ISRAEL, beautifully coming together into a single flock through Yahshua our Messiah’s life giving blood, or with the lies of separate entity theology, and the spiritual versus physical Israel theology, which remain the twin oxygen tanks that allows replacement theology to survive. The choice is yours! As for me, and my house (Joshua 24:15), we will serve Yahweh, and His eternal covenant people Israel!
