The international conspiracy described in Psalm 83, involving all enemies who are related to Israel by blood but are not children of the promise, has not yet been fulfilled. When the time comes for the ten lost tribes and the remnant of the Jews to return home in the second exodus, the allied enemies described in Psalm 83 will set out to destroy them.

In this alliance, led by Edom, are, as we have seen, Amalek and Assur (Assyria). But also Ishmael, the son of the flesh and not the son of promise, whose mother Hagar was an Egyptian. Islam denies the Son of G-d just as Ishmael mocked Abraham's son, Isaac.

Ishmael

will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Gen 16.12

which means that he will live in the presence of all his brothers. Islam is a religion of the sword. The Philistines in the alliance are to be settled in Gaza.

Edom is where Jacob is, i.e. in the previous Christian lands. Ishmael among the Muslims and Amalek in the West, mainly in Germany and in North and South America.

Before YHVH will bring back the ten lost tribes, he will judge them together with the nations in which they are scattered. YHVH's judgments in the past have always been wars, diseases, governments of oppression and despotism, famines.

If you watch the world and read the headlines, you can't help but say that the judgment has begun

And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. Ez 20:34

As already mentioned, the Hebrew word shaphak for poured out also means shed blood.

Leading them out goes hand in hand with bloodshed. The bloodshed is already here and will increase in the middle of Europe. Governments of despotism: we are also experiencing this in our days and the beginning introduction of other laws.

And why?

Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols. Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; Ez 20:24-25

In the meantime, there will be a different kind of gathering. The house of Judah and the Philistines will be gathered for judgment:

For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Zeph 2:4

The coastal towns of Gaza, Ashkelon and Ashdod were Egyptian centers until they were conquered by the Philistines. The Philistines founded a five-city confederation, the Pentapolis (Philistia), whereby supremacy changed over the course of time between the cities of Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ekron (or Akkaron, today: Aqir), Gath and Gaza

The cities were ruled by individual princes. Egyptian influence waned and the Philistines took over. The Philistines fought fierce battles with the Israelites and Canaanites over several centuries, from the biblical period of the Judges to the beginning of the Israelite kingdom

I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests; And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham; And them that are turned back from the Lord; and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him... In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills... And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil. Zeph 1:4-6 .9-10 .12

The House of Judah will also go through a great process of change through these judgments that will lead them to repentance so that they will walk in the Torah with Jesus (as recorded by YHVH through Moses by mentioning the AlefTav) and accept the ten lost tribes from the nations. So far, except for the Messianic Jews, they are rejecting the covenant made in the AlefTav by denying the Son. YHVH will turn the whole world upside down to bring the ten lost tribes home.

YHVH will set right the house of Judah and the house of Israel, us, the ten scattered tribes among the nations.

Walking with YHVH also means being truthful and naming what is untrue, just as the prophets have done throughout the millennia.

What is called for?

To go forward in faith in YHVH, to observe what He is doing and what He is preparing so that we can be led home by the Holy Spirit. As with all prophecies, you never know when they will be fulfilled. It can happen quickly or it can take quite a while. The time doesn't matter, because the prophecies will be fulfilled.

If this all seems strange to you and you don't see yourself in the big picture, then I ask you to take your Bible and the elaborations on the Ten Lost Tribes and study them prayerfully with the Bible in your hand. Ask YHVH to open the eyes of your heart so that you can see. Our natural eyes only look at the terrible and increasingly terrible events, but our spiritual eye is a prophetic eye that looks behind the events and perceives YHVH as He adjusts everything so that His prophetic statements can be fulfilled

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 2 Pe 1:19

“Ever heard of Dresden?”

Mike Huckabee, US ambassador to Israel, has sharply attacked British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and pointed out a historical parallel that hardly anyone in London likes to hear. It's about Gaza, hypocrisy and the question of who is allowed to give moral lessons to whom.

Israel's new plans for a permanent military presence in the Gaza Strip are meeting with vociferous opposition in European capitals. Starmer declared on Friday that the expansion of operations would

“do nothing to end this conflict”,

but would only lead to

“more bloodshed on both sides”.

Instead, what is needed is an immediate ceasefire, more humanitarian aid, the release of all hostages kidnapped by Hamas and a

“negotiated solution”.

Huckabee reacted indignantly and without diplomatic absorbent cotton

"So Israel should capitulate and feed Hamas while Israeli hostages are starved? Has the UK sent food to the Nazis? Ever heard of Dresden, Prime Minister Starmer? You weren't dropping food parcels then. If you had been Prime Minister then, the UK would be speaking German today!"

The ambassador was alluding to the devastating US and British air raids on Dresden in February 1945, in which almost seven kilometers of the city were reduced to rubble and at least 25,000 people died. For Huckabee, the historical comparison is clear: those at war against a criminal ideology cannot save themselves through euphonious appeals and moral self-aggrandizement; especially not when hostages are in the hands of a terrorist organization.

But Huckabee did not stop at the history lesson. He publicly asked Starmer how much food Britain had actually delivered to Gaza. "Prime Minister Netanyahu has already brought two million tons into Gaza, and none of it reaches the hostages. Perhaps the British PM would do better to stay out of this and follow the Arab League, which has called on Hamas to immediately release all hostages and lay down their arms."

Huckabee's outburst comes at a time when the diplomatic front against Israel appears to be hardening. In addition to London, other European states have also criticized Israel's plans; above all Germany. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced that all arms deliveries to Israel would be stopped for the time being. In the Israeli government, this is seen as a dangerous signal: anyone who drops Jerusalem in a decisive phase is not strengthening peace, but those who reject every rule of peace.

The core of the dispute is age-old: Is a democratic state that is attacked by terror allowed to use military means even if the images of it provoke outrage abroad? For Huckabee, the answer is clear, and the memory of Dresden should make it clear that Western democracies have also made decisions in their history that went far beyond

“humanitarian neutrality”.

While debates about Israel's actions rage in Europe and parts of the Arab world, the reality for the people of Israel remains brutally simple: Hamas is still holding hostages, using aid for its own fighters and rejecting any serious peace solution. Anyone who urges an immediate ceasefire in this situation without simultaneously demanding the complete disarmament of Hamas may sound moral; in fact, it is an invitation to the terrorists to continue.

The farce of going it alone: how Abbas wants to bury the Oslo Accords.

Mahmoud Abbas wants to declare the "Palestinian Authority statehood" - single-handedly, without negotiations, without legitimacy. But what is being staged as a strategic liberation move could in reality be the last twitch of a failed project.

The "Palestinian Authority" ("PA") headquarters in Ramallah is currently undergoing feverish consultations. The 88-year-old President Mahmoud Abbas, known internationally as “Abu Mazen”, is considering a radical step: a unilateral proclamation of a "Palestinian" state without Israeli consent, without a bilateral agreement, without substantial control over the claimed territory. It would be a dramatic break with the spirit of the Oslo Accords, on which the "PA" was founded in the first place.

The plan: just in time for the UN General Assembly in September, the "PA" is to shed its previous identity as a purely administrative transitional construct and elevate itself to "independent statehood", by a mere declaration. No elections. No institutions. No territory with sovereign control. No peace treaty. Just a symbolic gesture with a potentially explosive effect.


1754821756165.jpeg



According to a report by Israeli journalist Ehud Yaari (Channel 12), the planned declaration could also include the definition of "Palestinian state borders", probably based on the so-called "1967 border", i.e. the ceasefire lines before the Six-Day War. This would include East Jerusalem, the whole of Judea and Samaria (internationally known as the "West Bank") and the Gaza Strip, although in reality the "PA" only administers parts of zones A and B, i.e. less than 40% of the territory of Judea and Samaria. The Gaza Strip, on the other hand, has been controlled by Hamas since 2007, with which Abbas is in a deep power struggle.

So how exactly do you want to declare a state in an area that you don't actually control? What role do the 500,000 or so Jewish Israelis living in the areas that Abbas is now claiming as his future state play in this? These questions remain unanswered as does the realistic prospect of implementation.

The initiative from Ramallah is flanked by diplomatic movement in the West: countries such as Ireland, Norway, Spain and possibly soon France, Canada and Australia have signaled their willingness to diplomatically recognize "Palestinian statehood", regardless of the fact that no functioning community exists. Abbas' planned declaration is therefore intended to achieve one thing above all: to further increase international political pressure on Israel by suggesting a fait accompli that does not exist in reality.

At the same time, Abbas is attempting to distract attention from domestic political insignificance by staging statehood in the media. The "Palestinian" legislature de facto no longer exists. Elections were last held in 2006 under international pressure. Abbas' legitimacy has long since eroded. The president rules by decree and trust among his own people is at an all-time low. A survey from June 2025 shows: Over 70% of "Palestinians" are calling for his resignation.

In this vacuum, the call for "statehood" seems less like a departure and more like an act of desperation.

The unilateral declaration would mean a fundamental breach of the Oslo Accords, and therefore not only a diplomatic provocation, but also a legal challenge. After all, the existence of the "PA" is based entirely on these agreements. If Abbas now unilaterally renounces them, this would also mean that the legal basis for the "PA" as a legitimate actor would disappear, with unforeseeable consequences.

In such a case, Israel would have to reassess whether it is still obliged to cooperate with the "PA" at all, be it in civil matters, security issues or economic exchange. The international community, especially the donor states of the EU, would then also have to ask themselves: who exactly is receiving hundreds of millions of euros in aid money every year? An administration? Or a self-proclaimed "state" that knows neither elections nor separation of powers?

There is no currency, no functioning infrastructure, no rule of law, no independence from terrorist groups such as Hamas or Islamic Jihad. And yet this is exactly what a "state" is supposed to be?

Israel has repeatedly stated that a "Palestinian state" can only be created through direct negotiations, not through symbolic declarations or international solo efforts. This stance is not based on stubbornness, but on experience. The last few decades have shown this: Whenever symbolic victories were placed before real compromises, years of stagnation, violence and disappointment followed.

The "Palestinian" leadership has had countless opportunities, from Camp David 2000 to Olmert's offer in 2008 and the negotiations under Donald Trump. None of them were used. Instead, the focus now appears to be once again on confrontation rather than coexistence.

The book of Deuteronomy contains more than 80 verses about Israel possessing the land that G-d promised them. We pray that G-d's living Word, which is powerful and sharp as a two-edged sword (Heb 4:12), will impress this truth on the minds and hearts of Jews inside and outside Israel and produce faith and works to fulfill this very clear instruction from G-d.

Abba, let Your promises encourage Israel to drive in their tent pegs over all the land You have sworn to them, regardless of what other nations or NGOs may say or do

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the Lord our G-d: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. Ps 105:5-12

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Isa 54:2-3


Thank You, Lord G-d, that Jeremiah describes the land You are planting Israel in, and that it stretches from the Jordan to the Mediterranean! Hallelujah!

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. Jer 32.41

Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord. Jer 32:44

G-d of Jacob, since You are jealous of Your land, destroy all plans to establish a “Palestine” on it, whether by "friends" or enemies

Therefore thus saith the Lord G-d; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey. Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord G-d; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen: Therefore thus saith the Lord G-d; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. Ezek 36:5-7

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Ps 33:10-11

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. Zec 14:1-3

Lord G-d, anoint Finance Minister Smotrich and Defense Minister Katz as they work to strengthen the building of Israeli fact on the ground in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy G-d. Am 9:14-15

King Messiah, may America's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, a true Christian Zionist, provoke Israel's leaders with his biblical zeal for Israel to possess all her land

And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the Lord. Jdg 2:1-5

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. nPs 126:1-3

G-d of Israel, please uproot your enemies from your land and do it now

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. Ps 125:3

Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The Lord liveth; as they taught my people to s wear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the Lord. Jer 12:14-17


Lord G-d, since the "Palestinian Authority" is part of the problem, divide it internally and set it and Hamas against each other whenever and wherever they interact

That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? Hi 38:13

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. Ps 129:5


Almighty King, free the IDF from all humanistic shackles and let them fight the terrorists in Judea and Samaria in a biblical way, including asking You to lead them into battle

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. Ps 18:36-40

Thou art my King, O G-d: command deliverances for Jacob. Ps 44:4


Abba Father, spread Your divine wings of protection over all Israel's security forces as they battle Arab terrorists in Judea and Samaria

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, Ps. 17:8

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Ps 91:4

Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. Ps 141:9-10

It’s time for Israel to stop playing by the rules while its enemies play for keeps

It is long past time for Israel to stop playing by the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury when its enemies are playing by those of the Marquis de Sade.

Explanation:
The Rules of the Marquess of Queensberry are a set of rules published in 1867 by John Graham Chambers under the patronage of the Marquess of Queensberry. They laid the foundations for modern boxing by prescribing, among other things, the use of gloves, a limited round time and standing up after a knockdown. The Marquis de Sade was a French writer and philosopher known for his explicit and often violent literary works that explore libertarian and sadistic themes. His writings are characterized by a radical individualism and a rejection of traditional morals.

The two books of Kings and the prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, Obadiah and Zephaniah teach about the House of Judah and the House of Israel. They describe the two houses as separate entities. They describe how the two houses came to be separated. And how they were both led into exile, from which the House of Judah was returned after 70 years of Babylonian captivity, while the House of Israel lives in exile to this day.

The house of Judah was always aware of its identity, even in captivity in Babylon, and longed to return:

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. Ps 137:1-5

The house of Judah maintained its connection to Zion/Jerusalem and felt alienated in exile. The House of Israel lost its identity and found a new home in the nations of the world. They did not weep when they thought of Zion. The connection to their roots and their homeland was completely cut off.

Ezekiel describes the house of Israel in detail in a vision, namely as a field full of dead bones:

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,... Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Ezek 37:1 .4

This field full of bones of the dead is clearly the house of Israel and not the house of Judah:

Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Ezek 37:11

In contrast to them, the house of Judah, as is clear from Ps 137, had always kept their hope of returning.

The ten lost tribes have lost their identity over the millennia of exile. Bones are no longer identifiable; only when flesh grows over the bones can the person belonging to them be identified again.

Just as the dead bones of Joseph were brought back to the land of Israel, so the dead bones of the ten lost tribes will be brought back to the land of Israel

Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord G-d; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Ezek 37:12

YHVH refers to the exile of the ten lost tribes in the nations as graves. His plan is to take the dead bones out of the graves, i.e. out of the nations, and bring them back to the land of Israel. To bring them where?

To heaven, to rapture them?

No, it is written that he wants to and will bring them back to the land of Israel.

During the process of opening the graves, that is, when they are brought back to the land of Israel, the ten tribes will learn that He is their Elohim:

And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, Ezek 37:13

And indeed, only YHVH can do this and cause millions and millions of members of the ten tribes to be brought back to the land of Israel, without passports and security checks at Ben Gurion Airport and without conversion. Until the repatriation, there will be two distinct houses, the House of Judah and the House of Israel

And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord. Ezek 37:14

YHVH calls on his prophet Ezekiel to perform a prophetic act:

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: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord G-d; 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. Ezek 37:16-19

Until then, YHVH speaks of two separate houses.

The house of Israel are the ten tribes under the leadership of Ephraim, the son of Joseph, which is why YHVH speaks here of the stick of Joseph.

YHVH further instructs Ezekiel:

And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Ezek 37:20-22

After YHVH prophesies through Ezekiel that there will be one people, it says:

Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their G-d. Ezek 37:23

Who is YHWH cleansing here?

One people, the house of Judah and the house of Israel. Both houses?

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isa 53:6


Both houses, though not all in both houses, have their idols and abominations and their sins.

What is sin?

Sin is the transgression of the Torah of YHVH.

The Bible says in John

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law (Torah-lessness): for sin is the transgression of the law (Torah-lessness). 1 John 3:4

John further states:

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 1 John 5:17

No one is better than the other; we, both houses, are all under sin. The Bible says in Romans

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Rom 3:9-10

And how are our sins forgiven?

Without Jesus, the consequences of sin are death

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of G-d is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:23

The courts are beginning to emerge worldwide, the third world war is looming in the Middle East, the G-d of our forefathers is being increasingly banished from the USA and Europe, and what remains is an economic system into which the Muslims are forcing millions with their laws.

We are seeing huge shifts taking place at every level. Syria, a country that has not made peace with Israel, is being depopulated.

And where will the Christians who are being persecuted in the West and in the USA flee to?

Home, to Israel.

YHVH is initiating these megashifts so that his people can return. Another megashift is yet to come:

And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the Lord: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it. Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia
(Cush). Ezek 29:9-10

Today's Aswan goes back to the ancient Egyptian Swenett. This became the ancient Greek name Συήνη (Syène), and under Roman rule the Latin Syene.

And what is in Aswan?

Aswan is located on the south-east side of a bend in the Nile, about 13 kilometers north of the 5250 km² Lake Nasser. The lake was formed as a result of the damming of the Nile water by the Aswan High Dam, named after the city.

Will something happen to the dam, so that millions of Egyptians will also have to migrate? YHVH will prepare Greater Israel for the return of the ten lost tribes. There will be enough room for all of them.

And the house of Judah?

As the world “races” toward the messianic era, G-d is trying to awaken the world to the life-saving importance of repentance. YHVH will set both houses in order and make one house out of both houses.

Has the Church replaced Israel?

Scripture makes it clear that replacement theology is at best a misconception and at worst anti-Semitic.
Wild thread . The Church is Israel. There is no such thing as “replacement theology,” since the Israel of God has never ceased to exist. The fulfillment of the prophecies of Israel’s restoration is found in the Church—not in the physical nation of 1948 Israel.

Replacement theology is based solely on the idea that G-d's covenant with Abraham was partially or even completely revoked, because this covenant promises Israel's eternal claim to the land of Canaan

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their G-d. Gen 17:7-8

If this promise had indeed been revoked, the present restoration of Israel in the land of Canaan would mean nothing at all.

Let us be very clear at this point that we believe that salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ. This applies to both Jews and non-Jews

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of G-d unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of G-d revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom 1:16-17

Nevertheless, we do not believe that the promise G-d made to Abraham, i.e., the promise of the land of Canaan to Israel, has been revoked.

For this reason, the restoration of Israel in our time is a fulfillment of this promise. It also represents a milestone in Israel's "homecoming" to its Messiah

For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your G-d. Ezek 36:24-28

Nowhere does the Bible say that G-d's promises to Abraham regarding Israel's eternal right to the land of Canaan have been revoked or reinterpreted. Everywhere the Bible confirms the opposite! It speaks of the day when physical Israel will be reunited with its land and its Messiah

...I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord G-d, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. Ezek 36:24-32

This passage in the book of Ezekiel teaches the exact opposite of replacement theology: Israel's rebellion and sin did not lead to the loss of land, but to judgment and correction. But in the end, for the sake of His name, G-d will bring Israel back to the land of his fathers.

Yet Israel and the world of man still rejects putting the Will of God ahead of the will of man. If one wants to lay claim to Abrahamic ways, then all must be followed

In order for believers to be in harmony with what G-d is doing today, it is crucial for them to be familiar with the entire Word of G-d. And since most end-time prophecies focus on the restoration and redemption of Israel and its enemies, knowledge of His Word helps us to pray in accordance with His will for His people, despite the chaos in today's world.

Messiah, use all the current tensions and hardships that many believers are experiencing to turn Your body to Your Word, as Moses says, so that all their needs may be met

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. Deut 8:3

Lord Jesus, speak to Your body that if they truly believe, they must expect to be disciplined by G-d, as every good father disciplines his child

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy G-d chasteneth thee. Deut 8:5
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Heb 12:5-8


Lord Messiah, raise up voices in the body to condemn the increasing anti-Semitism and the spread of lies about Your people, into whom they are grafted, which are widespread in their societies today

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if G-d spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of G-d: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for G-d is able to graft them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?... It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. Rom 11:16-24 .15:27
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without G-d in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:11-13


Lord Jesus, teach the congregation that it is of central importance to You to reestablish Israel in its land; and then turn them to advocate for Your will to be done on earth

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. Jer 32:41
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Lk 11:2

This will occur when man accepts the only Gospel that Jesus taught is fulfilled. That the Father, not man or men claiming to be God’s representatives, will rule over this world.

Sometimes we look for human solutions because we no longer trust G-d's guidance.

The people of Israel wanted to be like all other nations and have a king who would judge them and wage their wars. They longed for security and order, as they observed in other nations.

G-d makes it clear that the demand for a king is actually a rejection of His own rule.

The old rivalry between the children of two sisters. The Torah states that a man may not marry his wife's sister while she is still alive:

Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. Lev 18:18

When Jacob was tricked into marrying Leah because he wanted to marry Rachel, and thus ended up marrying both sisters, this was not in accordance with YHVH's will. The animosity between the two sisters, Leah and Rachel, was passed on to their children and their children's children. Joseph is the leader of Rachel's children and Joseph's son Ephraim of their children, and Judah is the leader of Leah's children and their children. Thus, to this day, Ephraim and Judah, that is, the house of the lost ten tribes and the house of Judah, the Jews, stand opposed to each other.

To this day, Ezekiel's aforementioned prophecy of the reunification of the two houses has not yet been fulfilled. The prophecy from Ezekiel is still pending

Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord G-d; 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. Ezek 37:19

And we see this: To this day, the House of Judah still does not know who the House of Israel is. And the House of Israel, the ten lost tribes, who are awakening and becoming more and more aware of their identity, are arguing with the House of Judah, or rather, parts of the Ephraimite movement want to separate again and establish their own state, independent of the House of Judah. But we know from Scripture that both houses are being driven toward each other. But again, they are not yet one nation, as predicted in Ezekiel

And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Ezek 37:22


YHVH will put an end to the alienation of the two houses by pouring out his Holy Spirit, as predicted in Joel 3:1ff. The union will take place in Jesus. The outpouring of his Holy Spirit will come, because immediately afterwards miraculous signs in the heavens will announce the great and terrible day of YHVH.

Acts 15:16-17 quotes Amos 9:11-12:

After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Acts 15:16-17

What now remains is the shaking of the ten lost tribes, the house of Israel:

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. Amos 9:9-10

That means that those who live in rebellion will be taken away, right?

In that day

YHVH continues,

will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: Amos 9:11

First comes the time of judgment, then the blessing.
