1 THE COMPLETE, PROPHETIC RESTORATION OF ISRAEL By Kimberly Rogers The Messianic Church is not new. In fact, it s been around since the beginning of Christianity. Its Founders were the Apostles themselves. But, after the first centuries passed and the Roman Church seized control, it became a remnant a small group of believers that maintained the doctrines of the original congregation. Today, the role of Messianic Believers is pivotal to the spirituality and politics of The End Times. Note: This article regards the physical return of the Ten Tribes of Israel, a gradually occurring future event that is pivotal to end-times prophecy. All believers in Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach, whether Jew or Gentile, are children of Abraham. Tthe acknowledgement by the House of Judah that members of the Ten Tribes deserve to make aliyah in Israel, and the admittance by the Ten Tribes of their true Hebrew identity, will be a fulfilled prophecy. Ezekiel 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the House of Israel his companions: Ezekiel 37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. The Spiritual Role of the Restoration The Messianic Church is in the forefront of Christianity s return to its Hebrew roots. I say Hebrew because Ten Tribes of the Children of Israel are still in exile, scattered all over the Earth. The only known and visible remnant of the known tribes of Judah, Benjamin and the Levites are the Jews. While it appears that the Messianic Movement is leading the Church back toward Jewish-ness, the truth is the return is much more than that. It is a return to the knowledge of, and identity with our Hebrew Roots, for all Jews are Hebrews, but not all Hebrews are Jews. Ten Tribes of Israel, also known as The House of Israel, were scattered for their repeated disobedience to The Torah. The scattering of these Tribes occurred hundreds of years before Yeshua lived. And the gathering of the Tribes is one of the last prophecies that will begin to be fulfilled before He returns. It has been the Jews that were always visible during the intervening thousands of years between the exile of the House of Israel and modern times because the tribes of The House of Israel forgot their identities. Read what G~d said about the scattering : Leviticus 26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 1 Kings 14:15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger. Nehemiah 1:8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

2 Isaiah 41:16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. Jeremiah 9:16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them. Jeremiah 13:24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. Jeremiah 18:17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. Ezekiel 12:15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries. These are just a few of the scriptures related to the scattering of the tribes. Yeshua talked about the scattering during his time on Earth. The House of Israel was important to Him. He was, and is, the LORD G~d. All of The House of Israel was, and are, His children. John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. In reading this scripture, Gentile Christians have assumed that Yeshua was talking about the Gentiles. The reason for this is that the identity of The House of Israel is so buried in antiquity that they often believe themselves to actually be Gentiles. And well they should, for having taken up the idolatry, paganism and other abominable activities of the Gentiles. It makes sense that the lost House of Israel would think of themselves as Gentiles. It needs to be understood that there are two kinds of "Gentiles": those that truly are and those who mistakenly believe they are Gentiles. This last group is The House of Israel. The Jewish people, while knowing better, even reinforced this idea the scattered Hebrews were Gentiles. Further evidence that Yeshua was speaking about The House of Israel, and NOT about Gentiles, comes from the Book of Matthew. Matthew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

3 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Yeshua answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. When the Disciples asked Yeshua to send a woman away, whom they considered to be a Gentile, His reply was that He was sent to the lost sheep of The House of Israel. Yeshua then refers to the Canaanite woman as a 'dog', a common term the Jews used for Gentiles and more specifically those whom the Jews knew were Hebrews living like Gentiles. Obviously, Yeshua understood that His salvation was to be provided to these exiled Hebrews and the Gentiles, as well as the Jews. But G~d has a timeline for everything and that moment was not the moment G~d had chosen for Yeshua to reveal Himself to the exiles or the Gentiles. Yeshua referred to the woman as a 'dog', but He knew that neither she, nor His disciples knew the truth of her Hebrew identity. Yeshua came through the tribe of Judah to unite The House of Israel and the House of Judah. How do we know that? Because He says here that He was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Yeshua came to save the Jews, the House of Israel and all Gentiles. Paul taught this. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Many are the traditions of cultures around the Earth of an ancient visit by the Son Of God. It makes sense that during what are known as "the lost years", He may have been traveling and visiting His Lost Sheep. The idea that Yeshua came to save not only the Jews, but also the Gentiles, was a foreign notion on the day that Yeshua spoke those words in John 10:16. It wasn t until well into the Book of Acts, and a long time after Pentecost, that the idea of offering Yeshua's teachings to the Gentiles was introduced. G~d had to send a special vision to Peter in order to get the point across. Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

4 16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, 18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. 21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come? 22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. 23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. 25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. 27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. 28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

5 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. This scripture is always mistakenly used to prove that G~d cancelled the Law, the Torah. After all, in Peter s vision, he saw unclean animals and G~d s voice told him to kill and eat. But, Peter refused to do so. In fact, the voice told Peter to kill and eat the unclean animals three times. So why doesn't this scripture mean that the dietary laws were abolished? Because there is another meaning that Peter himself explained. Peter knew that this vision wasn t about eating unclean animals. The scripture says that he had to ponder its meaning - he didn't take the vision at face value the way lawless Christians do today in order to validate their lawlessness. Nowhere does this passage say that Peter immediately understood that the Law was no longer in effect and he could now eat every filthy thing that G~d had formerly forbidden. No Peter knew there was a deeper meaning to this vision and had to think about it. The Bible says that Peter was hungry when the vision started. Anyone who has dreams knows that dreams often contain the symbolism of the moment. For instance, if we happen to fall asleep while the TV is on, and the program has a scene about someone running just as we are entering REM sleep, our dream will be one of running. Peter was subject to the same mental anomalies as we. So, while he was thinking about food, he fell into a trance. G~d wanted him to understand something about unclean things, so G~d used what Peter was thinking about and what he would understand. While Peter was considering the meaning of the vision, he was interrupted by some men who asked him to go to the home of a Gentile named Cornelius. Notice that Peter s vision came as a result of the prayers of this gentile. G~d is in the habit of answering our prayers whether we are Jew or gentile. Peter knew the meaning of the vision as soon as he entered Cornelius home. In those days, the Jews considered both pigs and Gentiles to be unclean things. G~d wanted Peter to know that His plan of Salvation was for everyone, Jew and Gentile alike. Cornelius had been told by an Angel to call for Peter to come to his house. Peter went to Cornelius Cornelius did not go to Peter. Acts 10:28 And he (Peter) said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Peter here finally explains to us the meaning of his vision. G~d wanted the Apostles to stop viewing pigs and Gentiles as the same class of beings. He wanted them to stop viewing Gentiles as unclean and begin preaching the Gospel to them. This is the first time that anyone but Yeshua knew that His Salvation was to be extended to the Gentiles. It was only through this that the Jewish followers of Yeshua began to preach the Gospel to those people who mistakenly thought of themselves as Gentiles and the real Gentiles. All of this is very important because G~d said that in the last days the separated tribes would reunite. No reunion ever occurs without conscious knowledge and there has never been an acknowledged, historical event regarding the reuniting of these two groups. The House of Israel acknowledges the truth of its spiritual heritage as children of Abraham, but now it is time to acknowledge our physical Hebrew ancestry, too.

6 Some scholars imply that the Tribes will be melded into one big Jewish tribe during the end-times, but that is not scriptural. The Tribes appear before G~d's throne in the Book of Revelation. They stand around the throne, the 144,000 are marked according to their tribe, the New Jerusalem s 12 gates are named for the tribes. Our Father wants us to know to which Tribe we belong. With the current thrust of Jewish and Gentile scholars, anthropologists and archeologists working to locate the current whereabouts of the other tribes, it is important for us to accept the distinct possibility that we are physical Hebrews, return to the Torah and reunite with the Jews, the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levy. As a child growing up in the Church, the mystery of the Lost Tribes was on the same par as where Cain got his wife and how many angels will fit on the head of pin. It was considered unimportant and unanswerable. It wasn t until I became an adult that I realized the scattered tribes have a role to play in The End Times scenario. For more information on this subject, go to G~d said that He will gather all of His children back to Him. The connotation here is the same as in the Prodigal Son parable. The House of Israel is so lost it doesn t even realize it is lost. But, one by one, G~d is awakening His children to that fact of their probable Hebrew ancestry. Jeremiah 3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. 18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the House of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. Jeremiah 32:37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: 38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. It is possible that since you are reading this information, that G~d has led you here because you belong to Him in more than one way. You may very well be Hebrew! If you have felt the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) prompting you to seek for deeper holiness within the Torah, the truth of your Hebrew roots may be one of the areas He wants you to know. G~d is calling His lost sheep, the physical House of Israel, to Him in these last days for the purpose of acknowledging who they truly are to create an unbreakable alliance with the House of Judah, the Jews. We all know that accepting Yeshua as our personal savior makes us a Child of G~d and a spiritual descendant of Abraham, but few Christians realize what this really means. Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

7 Paul taught us that Gentiles are grafted into the Olive Tree, the tree that symbolically represents Abraham and his children. Thus, Gentiles become children of Abraham spiritually. But notice that Paul said if some of the branches be broken off. Some of the branches of the Abrahamic Olive Tree were broken off in the course of the scattering of the House of Israel. During The End Times, which we are in now, Hebrews will become aware of their heritage in ever increasing numbers. This awareness can only come from the prompting of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) since the knowledge of who the lost tribes are remains unknown to most people. G~d has a reason for calling us back to this knowledge for the call is an appeal to return to His Torah. For almost 1,900 years, Christians have been taught the lie that Yeshua did away with the Law. Now, more Christians are coming to the realization that the Law, the Torah, spells out the obeisance and duty that we owe to G~d for his great mercy to us. The House of Israel was scattered for their disobedience to the Torah. Now, we must return to it for the battle lines are being drawn between G~d s children, the "United House of Israel" and the children of Satan, Islam. Only the Torah provides clear instructions about the behaviors that G~d expects from His children. To return to our Hebrew roots means to return to obedience to The Torah. Obedience to The Torah is the real end-times battle line. The total difference between G~d s children and the children of Satan is our obedience to the Torah, the Word Made Flesh. Understand that Yeshua IS the Torah. The Torah is His Word and He was made flesh. Yeshua fulfilled the Torah and is our Messiah, but Christians denied and disobeyed The Torah just as The House of Israel did. Now, we are being gathered back. Part of this ingathering is in our return to obedience of the Torah. The ingathering that is happening now will lead to a unity between Judah (the Jews, the Benjamites and the Levites) and The House of Israel (Reuben, Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali and Joseph (represented by the half tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh). Ezekiel 37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. "Ephraim" is a euphemism for The House of Israel. The uniting of the two sticks depends on a large enough number of Hebrew people who are scattered all over the Earth coming to an understanding of their true physical ancestral heritage. I don t believe that any of the nations will, in their entirety, acknowledge being Hebrew due to the political climate. But, I do believe that there will be high enough numbers of people within each Hebrew nation to facilitate the reunification of The House of Israel with the State of Israel. The nations that likely have a high Hebrew composition are Britain, America, France, Ireland, Switzerland, Finland, Holland, Sweden, Scotland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. These nations largely are made up of ancestral Hebrews. Again, see The Political Role of the Restoration Message It is significant that G~d said He will bring His people back to the land that He gave them. What this really means is that all of the tribes will again occupy their portions of the land of Canaan just as they did when it was first divided among them. There will be no Lebanese occupation. Nor a

8 Palestinian occupation. Nor any other occupation of G~d's land! His name, in the form of the Hebrew letter shin, is literally written on the land in the hills of Jerusalem. His people will return there in full knowledge of their physical and spiritual heritage. All over the Internet and from most pulpits, Christians are taught that this is a non-issue. The following episode from the Book of John is used to illustrate that Yeshua considered some Jews to not be the seed of Abraham: John 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Yeshua saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Yeshua said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Paul taught that it isn't our physical heritage that is important as much as our spiritual heritage. Romans 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Most Christians are not aware of the significance that Yeshua is a Jew. Only recently has the importance of this knowledge come to the forefront. While it is true that our spiritual nature, by way of having been grafted into the Abrahamic Olive Tree, is of utmost importance, it is also true that G~d not only expects The House of Judah and The House of Israel to reunite, but He expects them to know EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE! A Hebrew will never be defined as a Gentile in G~d's eyes even when he refuses to accept Yeshua as Savior and Messiah. A Gentile who has accepted Yeshua becomes a "spiritual Hebrew" and will never be counted as anything but a Hebrew in God s eyes. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. G~d expects His Hebrew children to keep the Torah, accept Yeshua as Savior and Messiah AND understand their physical roots. This can only happen when the lost House of Israel regains knowledge of her physical ancestry and the Jews accept Yeshua as Savior and Messiah. The two go hand in hand - especially during The End Times. The Messianic Church is rapidly increasing in numbers in both Jews and Gentiles. The Mishpochah I attend has new visitors every week. As a child, our Church rarely had new visitors. Gentile visitors and members tell the same story. They believe that G~d led them to begin studying the Torah. After heeding His Voice, they began to feel the need to begin following the Law. Many of them have begun exploring their ancestries. They believe that since they have

9 been called by the Ruach Ha Kodesh, they must have Hebrew ancestry. This happens despite the teachings of the Church that the Law is dead and that Yeshua Himself killed it! Returning to the Law strengthens our spiritual and physical ties to the Jews and The State of Israel. The importance of this in light of current politics of this can now be seen. Having a known familial tie to Abraham, not only a "spiritual" one, is more likely to retain those people as allies of the State of Israel. Weak and new Christians may cut and run, or worse - convert to Islam in order to save their lives - during Israel's /Jacob's, "Time of Trouble". But blood is thicker than water and will bind The House of Israel and The House of Judah with the bond of brothers. As a supporter of the Jews, we become the enemies of Islam who worships Allah, another name for Satan. But, Muslims are candidates for Salvation just like everyone else. We must remember not to allow hatred into our hearts toward them even though Islam is once again in the mode of conquering the world. They have vowed to destroy the State of Israel, the Jews and all Jewish supporters. Let s begin with Satan s assault on Adam and Eve. Remember, Adam and Eve were G~d s people. For this reason, and to continue the war that Satan had started against G~d (and that continues to this day), Satan planted the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the middle of the Garden. Do not be deceived: G~d did not plant that tree! G~d sowed good seed in the Garden. But while Adam slept, as all men must, Satan planted the corrupt Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We know that Satan did this because G~d cannot sow corruption or sin. We also know that G~d does not mix good and evil. See what Yeshua had to say about this issue: Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. An enemy. Who is our enemy? Satan! It is Satan who planted the tares in the world. The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil the tree of the tares while the Tree of Life is the tree of the wheat.

10 The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is often misnamed The Tree of Knowledge among Christians and the world alike. G~d wants us to have knowledge, but knowledge without evil mixed into it. The only such knowledge on the Earth is in the Torah and the rest of God's Word. Satan must have been livid that G~d did not disown or destroy Adam and Eve for their sin. Instead, he lay in wait for their son, Cain. He used Cain to kill the righteous Abel. He tried to use Ishmael harm Isaac, but Sarah saw what was happening and had Hagar and Ishmael exiled. Then, Satan tried to destroy Jacob during his birth by using Esau s foot to crush Jacob s head. Although he keeps trying, Satan has not been able to destroy G~d s people from the Earth. But, he was successful in cutting G~d s people off from their heritage by tempting them to sin against G~d through disobedience to The Torah. In these last days, the battle line is thickening to separate the good from the evil, the light from the darkness. That is why G~d is helping his people to remember who they are. More and more Christians are turning back to the Torah. Why? Because they are called. Only the Holy Spirit, the Ruach Ha Kodesh, can accomplish this end-times miracle. Many people who return to the Torah have physical Hebrew ancestry. However, God is calling everyone, Hebrew and Gentile alike, to return to Him. The Jews feel alone in the world even with allies like Britain and the United States. Maybe because of allies like Britain and the United States. Since these countries acknowledge only political ties (the weakest kind), the alliance with the Jews may be easily broken if the political wind changes direction. Once enough Brits and Americans realize who they are, and the State of Israel acknowledges people who claim to be from the Lost Tribes, The House of Israel, there will be a tie that binds that is much stronger than a mere political one. This will be a tie that Islam will not be able to break. It will take courage on the part of many people to side with the united Houses of Judah and Israel against Islam. The western nations leaders are already leaning away from Israel now. Those who openly admit their connection to Israel may be persecuted by both Islam and their own country. With millions of militant Muslims now in the United States, all Jews and Christians must be aware that armed conflict may soon become a reality in America. The Bible says that Christians will fall away in great numbers, so we can expect there to be few true Christians left who are able to fight. This falling away has already begun with the belittling and reduction of the Gospel to nothing more than a prosperity message. People who are Christian in name only will likely not take the side of Israel in the next conflict. The number of people worldwide who will stand with Israel will be very few. Israel will be in danger of defeat, which is why our mutual Messiah will appear, destroy Islam and all those opposed to the State of Israel and her allies, and begin to rule the Earth. Some will say that this article is discriminative against Gentiles. That's not true. Gentile Christians, especially Torah observant ones, stand to benefit from the fulfillment of this prophecy about the political and physical complete restoration of Israel. This is one of the prophecies that must be fulfilled before our Messiah returns. Since you are reading this, you likely have already felt the pull to return to obedience of the Torah. The Ruach Ha Kodesh has already spoken to you. Now, all that is left is for you to return to being obedient to G~d by observing His Torah whether you are a Hebrew of the lost tribes of Israel or truly a Gentile. G~d loves us all.
