Chag Shavuot Sameach!

Sivan 5777
Erev Shavuot
Day 49 of the Omer

What is the Story of Shavuot?


The "stories" of many things, their background and purpose, can be told by explaining what they are called. To a great extent, this is true in general of the Jewish holidays and, in particular, it is true of the holiday of Shavuot. The names of this holiday are:


"Chag Shavuot" - The Feast (or Holiday) of Weeks

"Z'man Matan Torateinu" - The Time of the Giving of Our Torah
"Chag HaBikkurim" - The Holiday of the First Fruits
"Atzeret" - The Holiday of "Being Held Back, or Restrained, Close to Hashem, in the Temple"
"Chag HaKatzir" - The Holiday of the Cutting of the Crop

The holiday is given this name because it is the climax of the Counting of Days and Weeks which make up the Sefirat HaOmerSefirat HaOmer connects Passover and Shavuot. Passover is the holiday on which we commemorate our Redemption from slavery in Egypt. That was our "Physical Redemption."

But physical redemption is not enough. It would have left us "free" people, but with no purpose to our lives. The purpose of the Jewish People is to serve G-d. The way we serve G-d is by studying and practicing his Torah. On Shavuot, G-d Himself appeared to us on Mt. Sinai to give us the Torah. By accepting it, we earned the title of "A Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation."


Thus, Shavuot is the purpose of the Exodus from Egypt. Seven weeks had to pass before we were able to shake off the feeling of being subject to our Egyptian taskmasters. The Jewish Religion believes that there is no legitimate master for a human being other than G-d. This is probably the most important lesson of Shavuot.


"Z'man Matan Torateinu" - The Time of the Giving of Our Torah


The Jewish People arrived in the vicinity of Har Sinai (Mt. Sinai) on Rosh Chodesh Sivan. The purpose of their assembling there was to receive the Torah from Hashem. Three days passed before the Jewish People recovered from their six-week sojourn in the desert. Moshe was instructed by Hashem that the Jewish People would have to prepare themselves for another three days before they would be ready to receive the Torah.


Before giving the Torah to the Jewish People, Hashem had, so to speak, "shopped it around" to the various nations of the world, but there were no takers.


Moshe "Rabbeinu," Moses our Teacher, according to another Midrash, had to overcome the objection of the Angels, who claimed that the Jewish People weren't sufficiently deserving to receive the Torah. But, fortunately for the Jewish People, and for the world, Moshe won that debate.


"Chag HaBikkurim" - The Holiday of the First Fruits


This name commemorates the New Grain Offering, which was brought at this time; its offering made it permissible to bring Grain Offerings from the "Chadash," the New Grain.


This was also the time that the first fruits of all the Seven Types of Produce with which the Land of Israel is Blessed (wheat, barley, wine, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates) were brought to the Temple. This procedure is described in the Talmud in Masechet Bikkurim.


"Atzeret" - The Holiday of "Being Held Back, Close to Hashem"


This is the name used exclusively for this Holiday in the Talmud. It suggests a similarity to Shemini Atzeret. The latter comes at the end of Sukkot, while this "Atzeret" comes at the conclusion of a process which began on "Pesach," or Passover.


One way of understanding the idea of "Atzeret" is that Hashem wants the Jewish People to feel close to Him at all times. But to have them come back to the Temple in Jerusalem several weeks after Sukkot would have required difficult travel in the winter. So Hashem just held them back for one day after Sukkot, to show his special love for them.


Whereas, Shavuot and Pesach have a special relationship which makes them really, in a sense, almost like one holiday, namely, the Holiday of Redemption, Physical and Spiritual, of the Jewish People.


"Chag HaKatzir" - The Holiday of the Cutting of the Crop


This refers to the wheat crop, which is the latest of the crops to be harvested, which took place at this time. There is also a reference here to Megillat Ruth, which places the time of the events described in the Megillah as "at the beginning of the cutting of the barley crop."

Christians Just Gotta "Save" Jews!

Sivan 5777
Day 48 of the Omer

You have to hear it to believe it. Jews just don't get it.

This is why Rabbi Melamed never should have asked Tommy Waller if he wanted to convert Jews to Christianity. What Pastor Biltz is saying doesn't sound so different from what Jeremy Gimpel said. See, they're assimilating already!




So, who is this Lars Enarson who is on the tour itinerary for Shavuot? He is a teacher that Tommy Waller follows. But, what is his interest in the Jews?

IT'S A TRAP!

Sivan 5777
Day 47 of the Omer
Shavua tov!

EXPLOSIVE! HAYOVEL OPENS SECOND FRONT!

Sivan 5777
Day 47 of the Omer
Shavua tov!

Sherri Waller herself said it as early as 2009...

We are in a war - a war for the hearts and minds of Am Yisrael. From the very beginning the HaYovel Ministry was envisioned as a Trojan Horse - a conduit for feeding Christians into the Land of Israel in order to wage a spiritual battle upon the Jews here.

 Tommy Waller admitted at the very beginning that their offer to "serve" the Israeli farmers in the Shomron was designed as a ploy to influence Jews to view their "savior" more favorably and it appears to have worked like magic as more and more Jews who work with them express the same sentiments expressed by Ari Abramowitz a few months ago when he spoke at a messianic Christian church in Seattle, Washington and said the following...



"The birth of that new entity...." It's got a name. It's called the "One New Man".



This is the centuries-old goal of Christianity - the aim of all evangelism - to mix Jews and Gentiles until no uniquely identifiable group of Jews remains in this world! And you can see how "Rabbi " Ari Abramowitz has already fallen for the new method of spreading the "gospel" called  relational evangelism, as have many, many others, God forbid!












[Listen to Tommy Waller describe it HERE.]

But, perhaps even more explosive than this is the fact that Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel have enabled HaYovel to open a second front in this war for Jewish souls and land - in Yehudah!! And in the following video you will actually hear Ari encourage Christian messianics to overcome Jewish resistance by practicing these relational evangelism techniques. Listen...



And it doesn't stop there, Ari goes on to explain how he and Jeremy Gimpel planned to use a foray into politics as a platform for spreading their vision of what is essentially the "One New Man" and Ari seems to indicate that he has designs on Moshe Feiglin's Zehut party in order to fulfill that vision. And appears to hope to do it with the backing of these Messianic "Christian Zionists"...



This is where the HaYovel Tour is today - At Ari and Jeremy's "farm" - the Land of Israel Network's "Universal" Center in Gush Etzion. Someone better warn the Jews of Judea of what is coming their way!!

Sinning For the Sake of Redemption

29 Iyyar 5777
Day 44 of the Omer
Erev Rosh Chodesh

Considering that Tuly Weisz and other gullible Jews, like Michael Oren and Yehuda Glick will be participating together tonight with Donna Jollay, HaYovel and Bridges for Peace...
"Hundreds of Jewish and Christian Zionists will be rejoicing together this week in a special gala dinner to honor Jerusalem’s Jubilee year in the presence of Knesset members Michael Oren and Yehuda Glick. Bridges for Peace, Hayovel – another Christian organization dedicated to serving the people of Israel – and Israel365 will all be celebrating together." (JPost: 50 YEARS OF CHRISTIAN SUPPORT FOR JEWISH JERUSALEM by Tuly Weisz)

"This Thursday, May 25th, HaYovel is partnering with Bridges for Peace and Israel365 to host the Rejoice with Jerusalem event, right from the heart of the Jerusalem....The evening will include speeches by former Ambassador to the US and current Member of Knesset Michael Oren and Rabbi and Knesset Member Yehuda Glick." (HaYovel Facebook page)
...it may be worth republishing the following blog post which came out a couple of months ago.

It establishes the missionary connection to Tuly Weisz and the Israel365 initiatives through Donna Jollay. HaYovel, you should be fully cognizant of at this point, and then Bridges for Peace, which may not be something you've heard much about. The video clip below will tell you all you need to know about them.



Sinning For the Sake of Redemption

21 Adar 5777

On the face of it, it's a very shocking idea - sinning in order to bring the redemption. But, it is an idea which underlies the most destructive false messanic movements in Jewish history and which is re-emerging in our own time.


Consider this comment which I received by email...


"...a sin for the sake of heaven is greater than a mitzvah done with bad intent."


Now compare it to this principle which is at the heart of all false messianic movements:


Antinomianism - 1) In Christianity it is the doctrine or belief that the Gospel frees Christians from required obedience to any law...and that salvation is attained solely through faith and the gift of divine grace. 2) The belief that moral laws are relative in meaning and application as opposed to fixed or universal.


With regard to Sabbateanism and Frankism, too...

...Unlike traditional Judaism, which provides a set of detailed guidelines called halakha that are scrupulously followed by observant Jews and regulate many aspects of life, Frank claimed that "all laws and teachings will fall" and following antinomianism asserted that one's most important personal obligation of every person was the transgression of every boundary.
Frankism is commonly associated with Sabbateanism, a religious movement that formed around the identification of the 17th-century Jewish rabbi Sabbatai Tzvi as the Jewish messiah. Like Frankism, the earlier forms of Sabbateanism believed that at least in some circumstances, antinomianism was the correct path. Tzvi himself would perform actions that violated traditional Jewish taboos, such as eating fats that were forbidden by Jewish dietary laws and celebrating former fast days as feast days.

...Frank claimed that the mixing between holy and unholy was virtuous.
It sounds just like those among us today who have gone way beyond simply accepting donations from idolaters which itself was wrong, because it was the first misstep which lead to all the rest. It has lead to providing idolaters access to Jewish children, to lone soldiers, to Holocaust survivors and other vulnerable populations in the Land of Israel. It has lead to moving Jews out in order to give the idolaters a permanent home inside the yishuv where they worship their false god in our holy land. It has lead to bringing them into Jewish homes and hosting them at meals and attending their weddings. It has even lead to "partnering" with them in spreading a distorted Torah to the world - a universalist  ["Judeo-Christian" or, God forbid "Zionist"] Torah. And all this sin has been committed in the name of "bringing the redemption".



This idolatrous Christian woman is "partnered" with a Jew in three projects which appear to make mixing the holy and the unholy into a virtue. In fact, it was one of their associates who wrote that bolded comment you see above.

[In the JPost article cited at the beginning, Tuly Weisz says, "Jollay decided to fund an online academy, the “Yeshiva for the Nations,” where non-Jews can study the Bible from Jewish scholars in Israel. The first of its kind, YeshivafortheNations.com has the potential of revolutionizing Christian support for Israel for the next 50 years,....]


They want you to believe that these are some kind of "new" Christians - not like the ones of the past who openly persecuted Jews. These are tolerant Christians who simply want us to be the best Jews we can be. They have no designs on our souls any longer. 

Well, Ms. Jollay's email presents a different story. It would seem from her presentation of a recent Christian "prophecy" that she still harbors the 2,000-year-old Christian dream of seeing all the Jews come to faith in JC...

..I could see Jesus, with just a glance, open the eyes of their [Jews'] heart, and they could literally SEE Him as Jesus, the Messiah. I could see on the inside of them, as we walked down this path in Jerusalem, that all of a sudden the eyes of their heart were opened, and a small flame started to burn on the inside of them.
Some of the people He tipped his head to I knew had great authority, heads in the Jewish community--rabbis. I could literally see in a glance the Lord opening up their eyes; I could see the Lord appearing. He was appearing to some of the top rabbis in the land, and just with a glance and a nod, a flame of revelation started to burn on the depths of the inside, in a second the eyes of their hearts were opened.
...We followed these Rabbis up to their rooms, as they went up into the upper rooms of their houses. I watched these Rabbis fall on their knees and cry out, "This Changes EVERYTHING. This changes EVERYTHING!" I saw the Lord go over and blow on that tiny ember of revelation on the inside, and little by little, it started to burn like an unquenchable fire.
... I saw that this fire would continue to burn until the appointed day would come when these Rabbi's could hold it in no longer and they would shout it from the top of the mountains, "Yeshua is Messiah...YESHUA IS MESSIAH!" I thought about how we pray for this....
And she closes her email with this...
Jesus, Yeshua, I thank YOU that YOUR Blood has Covered and Redeemed my own sin and I plead your blood for the sins of my family, my nation, the world and as an Israel Commissioned Watchman on the Wall of Jerusalem for Jerusalem and Israel of abortion – and thank YOU Yeshua for Laying Down Your Life to Save and Redeem us all– HALLELU YAH!!!" The Bride and The Spirit cry “COME LORD JESUS, YESHUA!!! and for our Hebrew Brothers we agree “HOSANNA!!!” Baruch HaBa B'Shem Adonai - Blessed IS HE that Comes in the Name of YHWH!!!
God’s ABUNDANT Blessings and FAVOR in JESUS, YHWH Yeshua HaMashiach (LORD Jesus the Messiah in Hebrew) upon you and yours!!!
Donna
The French have a saying: plus ca change plus ca meme chose - the more things change, the more they remain the same. King Solomon said it more succinctly: Ayn chadash tachat hashemesh - there's nothing new under the sun.

Don't be fooled. Don't be mislead. If you've already fallen for this error, repent now, before it is too late.

Uniting Eisav and Ya'aqov to Destroy Yisrael

29 Iyyar 5777
Day 44 of the Omer
Erev Rosh Chodesh



It is worth recalling now, after all that has been revealed about HaYovel this week (and last), the partnership that has been established between Ari Abramowitz's and Jeremy Gimpel's Land of Israel Network and HaYovel.



But, it's not just HaYovel, as the following short videos will attest...



"Teaching the Principles of Biblical Zionism to the entire world"? Is "Biblical Zionism" yet another word for Judeo-Christianity, which is itself just a new term for ancient Hellenism? Any way you slice it, it means shmad through assimilation.

Will Neve Daniel be the next yishuv chosen to host a Christian (Ephraimite) outpost?

Taking his children out of school to spend time with "German gentiles"???! R"l!




So, now you will understand a bit better the Shishi/Shabbat and Yom Rishon schedule for the HaYovel Tour:

"Recognize Jerusalem" - First Ever HaYovel Tour

28 Iyyar 5777
Day 43 of the Omer
Yom Yerushalayim

In the following one-minute video, Tommy Waller describes in excruciating detail what is the aim and goal of HaYovel's first ever Israel Tour. It is being advertised in a way that leads Jews to think it is about some kind of Christian support for Jerusalem to be recognized as Israel's capital in its fiftieth year of re-unification, but really, according to Tommy, "...it's all about relationships...everything we do is about relationships".



It's called Relational Evangelism
Focus on Building Deep Friendships
What your unbelieving or unchurched friend is desperately searching for is God's unconditional love, flowing through someone just like you, in the context of a friendship. The world in which we live is strong on communication and weak on deep relationships. Be a friend that cares and your lost friend will see Christ in you, even if you don't consider yourself a spiritual giant.
The Torah forbids Jews to intermingle with non-Jews for this very reason. It indicates that in time, the relationship would grow into one where we would be willing to give them our daughters and take their sons through intermarriage. Of course, they are nice, even admirable in some ways, but this is what poses the danger of assimilation! It's a chutzpah to think we know better than God does or to think we are too strong to fall to temptation. Look at what has already happened to so many Jews who would describe themselves as strong and proud Israeli Jews, even to Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, r"l.


This is where they will be through tomorrow. Anyone can check the side bar to the right each day to see where they will be so as to avoid all contact with them. Do not talk to them, do not invite them into your home, do not share a meal with them, do not dance with them, do not hug them, do not praise them, do not accept their "love" and "friendship" and warn all those in your influence to do likewise. This will hurt more than anything else because it denies them the goal they seek - to connect with Jews.

A total disconnect from Jews is what is needed to solve this problem. HaYovel is only here in Israel and has only become a problem because they were brought in, introduced, approved, supported, encouraged, enabled and promoted by JEWS!!

HaYovel: Serving Israeli Farmers or Themselves?

28 Iyyar 5777
Day 43 of the Omer

What better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem's reunification than to spend it hobnobbing with Christian missionaries who use the occasion to cash in on its "brand"? But, hey! Isn't that what Western democracy, religious pluralism, tolerance and diversity and capitalism are all about? Wait. But, this is the Middle East and Jerusalem is the Holy City - the City of God. Well, God has nothing to do with this...




I had no idea "volunteering" could be so profitable.

Is Collaborator Too Strong A Word?

28 Iyyar 5777
Day 43 of the Omer
Yom Yerushalayim

I have been made privy to some letters which were sent out by email to the supporters (and followers) of one of the HaYovel volunteers. They include some information which I find to be the most shocking of all the revelations we've laid bare here.

In the fall of 2013, a courageous Jew in the Shomron - a defender of his people's integrity and his God's honor - had some posters made up and hung them in the area to warn the local residents of the missionary threat posed by Tommy Waller and his HaYovel Ministry.



I'll let the volunteer take it from here...
(Letter #1)
A couple weeks ago, some people here in the area printed very large posters with a picture of Tommy Waller on it, with a big “x” marked across it, along with words that basically said, “Christians in Samaria stealing the souls of Jews.” and warned everyone to be careful of us.
This attack on Mr. Tommy and HaYovel is one of the most public and “loud” attacks that there has been. There have been several articles written and other things in the past.
As you can imagine, it’s been very hard on Mr. Tommy and his family and the HaYovel staff to be publicized in this way. He wants so much to be able to defend himself and say that we’re only here to love and serve – not to “convert” or missionize, or anything else. But obviously, defending himself won’t change anything right now.
In many ways though, it’s been a blessings in disguise. Many Israelis who we work with in the Samaria governor’s office and other places have spoken up for us and defended us. It has encouraged many who were quiet about their support of us to speak out loudly. There have been articles written, and public debates, and one couple – friends of the Wallers – were seen going around with a can of black spray paint, vandalizing the posters. : ) A few friends, people we have worked with in the vineyards, have dropped by to express their support and love.
It has caused severe rifts among the Israelis here. The Wallers were “blind-carbon-copied” in several email conversations as people defended them. Tommy and Sherri shared one letter with the group last week. Two men were going back and forth – one against us, one for us. The one who was for us closed his email by saying that as he prayed in the days before Yom Kippur, he prayed for this man who was so against HaYovel, and that he wanted to come to Tommy and Sherri and kiss their hands and ask their forgiveness for the hatred and misunderstanding. He wrote that we (HaYovel) were standing with Israel in a way and a place that no one else was. His words were, “On the front lines”. As I read the email, his support and appreciation brought tears to my eyes.
These are the “growing pains” of our relationships.
...I’m sharing this with you all because I feel that you need to know it. You need to understand the battle that we all are in. Maybe it will help you in how you act and react around Jewish people.... 
(Letter #2)
In my last update I talked about how people had written things about HaYovel, supporting us and giving credibility to what we're doing. Here are excerpts from an article written this week by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, the head Rabbi of Har Bracha.
Tommy Waller
Recently, a troublemaker distributed libelous materials accusing Tommy Waller, an American Christian, of being a missionary. This despite the fact that Tommy has been actively recruiting Christian volunteers for Israel for ten years, and not a single Jew claims that Tommy or any of the thousands of people he has brought here have tried to undermine their faith. Therefore, I feel it is incumbent upon me to speak on his behalf.
Out of an abiding faith in the uniqueness of the Jewish people and in the Divine mission to settle the Land, Tommy has rallied support for Israel from American Congressmen and Senators. The head of the Shomron Regional Council, Mr. Gershon Mesika, told me that Tommy’s activities have been very influential. Each year, through the summer, he organizes groups of Christians who love Israel to volunteer here. As he is a big believer in family values, many of the volunteers come with their entire families, including the young and the elderly. In recent years, at the request of the Regional Council, the Har Bracha settlement has hosted the volunteers on a hilltop near our community. From this base, the volunteers set out to work in vineyards and orchards throughout the Shomron.
Because of our difficult history with Christians, and due to concerns about possible missionizing, I felt it necessary to meet with Tommy. I wanted to have an upfront discussion with him about precisely what his positions were. At the same time, I wanted to convey a Jewish position without kowtowing or obsequiousness.
In the course of our conversation, I asked him: “If a Jew were to come before you and ask you whether it is better to be a Jew or a Christian what would you tell him?” He responded: “I would tell him to be a Jew!” Tommy added that he had not always thought this way. Originally, like other Christians, he was interested in everyone becoming Christian, but eventually he realized that this earlier position was the result of ignorance. Now, following his exposure to the Jewish renaissance in the Land of Israel, he wishes for all Jews to observe the Torah and mitzvot.
[What Rabbi Melamed fails to understand because he has not properly and throughly investigated this complex situation is that Tommy Waller has now been enlightened to believe that he is also of Israel and not only would not tell a Jew to become a Christian, but he no longer considers himself to be a Christian in the traditional sense that it has been understood for hundreds of years until now. This was not the right question to ask.]
I asked Tommy what led him to dedicate his life to bringing Christian volunteers to Israel. He told me that he read Yeshayahu 61:5: “Strangers shall stand and pasture your flocks; aliens shall be your plowmen and vine-trimmers.” This greatly moved him, and he said to himself: “Maybe I can be the one who is privileged to fulfill this holy verse!” Ever since then, he has encouraged people to visit Israel and to help Jews work the land.
Every summer Tommy brings hundreds of volunteers, some for a week and some for longer periods. They bring us greetings of peace and friendship from tens of millions of Americans who love us, and when they return home they serve as loyal ambassadors for Israel.

Hopes of Redemption
Sometimes I see these honored Christian guests walking on our roads and paths, and I am filled with great love; I am deeply moved and have to hold back tears. How beautiful are these people, who volunteer enthusiastically, crossing oceans and continents to come express their wonderful connection with us. How they shine with joy at being privileged to see the miraculous return to Zion, to walk on holy ground, and to contribute to making the desert bloom.
Perhaps they are the pioneers who begin to fulfill the words of the prophecy:In the end of days, the Mountain of the Lord’s House shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills, and all the nations shall stream towards it. Many peoples shall go and say: “Let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord, to the House of the God of Jacob, that He may instruct us in His ways, and that we may walk in His paths.” For Torah shall come forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge among the nations and arbitrate for the many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not take up sword against nation, and they shall never again know war (Yeshayahu 2:2-4)."
You can read the whole article here...http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/13855#.Uj1TuMxJNdj
I would highly recommend taking the time to read it. Being able to see something (in this case, ourselves) from someone else's perspective is a valuable, beautiful tool.
Apparently, some serious questions were forthcoming from supporters about Tommy's reply to Rabbi Melamed in which he said he would not encourage a Jew to become a Christian. Here is how the volunteer explained it...
(Letter #3) 
...I want to be careful to not put words into Mr. Tommy's mouth, but I can tell you how I understand this comment. It has a lot to do with definitions. To a Jewish mind, to become a Christian is to reject the majority of God's word. Anything that is clearly Jewish in observance is rejected - the Shabbat, the Holy days, eating kosher, etc. In the past (as I mentioned before) during times of persecution, when Jewish people did convert to Christianity under force, they were not allowed to do those things under threat of death. They still understand that to be "Christianity" today. They don't understand yet that someone can live a life as an observant Jew and believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah.
I understand Mr. Tommy's quote here to mean that he would never encourage a Jewish person to leave his Scriptural lifestyle, his observance of the Bible, (as they understand it) to become a "Christian" who leaves behind his love and obedience of God's word.
Lies, deception and subterfuge. These are the tools missionaries use to entrap gullible souls. 

But, what do you call a Jew who defends an idolater and a missionary against his fellow Jew? 

What do you call a Jew who "blind-carbon-copies" a private conversation with a fellow Jew regarding the missionary idolater with that very enemy who then shares it with his entire group?

And last, but not least, what do you call a rabbi who accuses a good, caring, self-sacrificing Jew of being a "troublemaker" and "libelous" to the entire readership of Arutz Sheva and all the other places his article has been shared, for simply stating the Truth; for following the Torah injunction not to stand idlely by while his brother's blood is being shed!?

And this is not a unique situation. It is going on everywhere.

I really wish I could think of a stronger word than "collaborator". Is traitor too strong a word?

HaYovel: The Point of the Ephraimite Spear - Idolaters and Proselytizers

28 Iyyar 5777
Day 43 of the Omer

HaYovel and their fellow Ephraimites and all their Jewish "brothers" can deny it til they are blue in the face, but the facts are there. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Idolatry

The following declaration identifying Yeshu as the deity comes from the website of David and Sonia Bowling who were hand-picked by Tommy and Sherri Waller in 2007 to head HaYovel Ministry's work in Israel in their absence.











Proselytizing (Missionizing)

The same website gives a detailed and glowing account of all their missionary activities in Israel (as well as Jordan) during their stay with HaYovel. See HERE.

Idolatry


The following declaration identifying Yeshu as the deity comes from the website of Mercy Collective Messianic/Hebrew Roots Church where Caleb Waller spoke a month ago and invited them all to come to Jerusalem to "participate" in the "redemptive process."



Proselytizing (Missionizing)


This belief, which is the very foundation of Christianity, is what compels Christians to "share the good news" of "salvation" through their messiah.

Idolatry

During his presentation to Mercy Collective  a month ago in Nashville, Caleb Waller kept alluding to the King - "the King who is coming". He is referring to Yeshu who he believes is returning to rule over the earth (see also above), but he gets a bit carried away and lets slip that he is looking forward to the day when all the nations of the world will come up to Jerusalem to "worship" the King.

In that day, God Almighty alone will be worshiped. (Guess that leaves Yeshu high and dry.)



Proselytizing (Missionizing)

Christians practicing Christianity - it's nothing new. The only thing new here is that Jews, even "rabbis", shepherds of God's flock, are embracing them and bringing these wolves right inside the sheep pen. God have mercy on us all!

And they are spreading their tumah onto everything that we hold sacred. I can't even use the term Hashem anymore because of what they have turned it into. When they say it, they mean Yeshu!
May HKB"H send OUR Mashiach Tzidkeinu quickly - NOW - to deliver us from these wicked people and their lies and all those who collaborate with them against us!

Bull's-Eye!

27 Iyyar 5777
Day 42 of the Omer


There is a story of man who was walking through the woods and spotted a target painted on a tree trunk with an arrow straight dab in the middle. He was amazed at the archer’s accuracy. He continued his walk and spotted several more trees with targets and arrows shot dead center. As he continued, he met a man with a bow and arrow and inquired if he was an archer who had made those shots.

“Are you the archer who made those brilliant shots?” the man said.

“Yes, I am.” said the archer.

“I would enjoy seeing you make another shot if you would,” the man replied.

“Sure thing,” said the archer

Stepping back the archer pulled out an arrow from his satchel, attached it to his bow and carefully drew it back as he aimed at an unmarked tree. Firing the arrow it lodge into the tree. The archer then picked up two buckets of paints and brushes and proceeded to paint the target around the arrow.

This oft-told story is a classic example of how Christians, and increasingly more and more Jews, c"v, "fulfill prophecy".

There is certainly no question that there are a great many prophecies in Tanakh which promise the return of the Ten Tribes of Israel who were exiled and completely assimilated among the nations. But, to misuse them to validate the spurious claims of the so-called "Ephraimites" - Christians wanting to reclaim the birthright that their father Eisav spurned - is beyond reprehensible.
And the word of the Lord came to [Yechezkel], saying:
"And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick and write upon it, 'For Judah and for the children of Israel his companions'; and take one stick and write upon it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.' And bring them close, one to the other into one stick, and they shall be one in your hand.
And when the children of your people say to you, saying, 'Will you not tell us what these are to you?' Say to them, So says the Lord God: Behold I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his companions, and I will place them with him with the stick of Judah, and I will make them into one stick, and they shall become one in My hand.
And the sticks upon which you shall write shall be in your hand before their eyes. And say to them, So says the Lord God: Behold I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side, and I will bring them to their land.
And I will make them into one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be to them all as a king; and they shall no longer be two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore.
And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols,....
Now, despite the fact that the Christian Ephraimites are a completely separate and independent entity which still practices idolatry - that they are gentiles and not Jews - they claim they are the fulfillment of this prophecy. We are being urged to accept their false claims because they will unite with us "in the end" and will give up their idolatry "in the end". That sounds very much like the stock Christian answer to Jewish assertions that Yeshu did not fulfill the prophecies encumbent upon Mashiach. Oh, he'll finish the job when he comes back, they say - in the end. Uhn-huh.

They also completely overlook the fact that God repeats over and over again that HE is going to do this thing, not us. And did you catch that reference to the "Children of Israel"? We were called the Children of Israel when all the tribes were united at Har Sinai. This is how the prophecy says it will be when the Jewish people return to their homeland at the End of Days - all of the tribes will return together, no one knowing really which tribe he belongs to - just Jews. 

And does it say that Ephraim will miraculously regain his memory of his tribal affiliation and return as Ephraim? No! It says, " I will place them with the stick of Judah." In other words, ALL of the returnees, Judah as well as Ephraim, will return together as JEWS - the Children of Israel [Jacob]!!!

Out of the all of the Christians making this claim, I have yet to hear one identify as any tribe other than Ephraim. Strange, no? If this is a "phenomenon" of "the Ruach HaKodesh" how come no one wants to be from Dan or Naphtali or Asher, etc.

We are being told by the gullilble Jews involved with these Ephraimites that we must deal with these people because it is a "phenomenon". I'll tell you about a phenomenon - a REAL phenomenon. Thousands and thousands, multiple entire families - mothers, fathers and children - from across the globe have been quietly, quietly "returning" their souls to Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael. No fanfare, no announcements - just the way HKB"H likes to carry out these truly redemptive processes. So many gentiles are coming to convert in Israel that special conversion schools and courts have been set up all over the country to accommodate the demand. (I could tell you a personal story and maybe I will when this all settles down.)

We are already no longer two nations or two kingdoms. God has already accomplished His will in this matter. So, accept that and reject these usurpers from Eisav.
