THE HOPE OF MESSIANIC NAZARENE YISR’EL

 Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el, also known as “the Way”(Acts 24:12-14), believes Yahshua HaNatzree was and is the true Messiah, the Lion of Judah, the Branch Who will fully reunite all Yisr’el; that He died and rose from the dead and lives at the right hand of the Almighty; and according to the ancient Holy Scriptures, Yahshua is Yehowah ‘Elohim appearing in the flesh, as Yahshua demonstrated in Himself (Deu 18:18-19; John 8:58; 10:33; Mat 12:6-8; 9:35; 15:31; Isa 11:53; Micah 5:2-4; Luke 24:46; Isa 8:14; John 2:22; Acts 3:15-17; Heb 13:20; 1 John 4:2, 2 John 1:7; Rev 5:5; John 1:1).

Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el, also known as “the Way,” believes we are made righteous in Messiah Yahshua (He is the heart of Abraham’s unconditional covenant).  The sign of the New Covenant is circumcision of the heart, which leads to confession, salvation, faith, grace, and to good works in Messiah.  The conditional Mosaic covenant presents the eternal truths of Torah (God’s teaching and instructions) to His people,  the hearing of which brings about blessing or curse (respond and be blessed, disobey and lack).  In the New Covenant, Yahshua’s Law is to be written on our hearts by the Spirit (Rom 4:13-16; 5:2; 10:10; 1 Pet 1:19; 2 Cor 5:21; Gal 3:16,29; Titus 3:5; Heb 10:38; 1 John 1:9; Eph 2:8, James 2:14; Deu 28; Ezek 36:26; Jer 31:31-33; Heb 10:16; Gal 2:16; John 5:46; 10:30; 14:2; 15:10).         

Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el, also known as “the Way,” is a people whose heart’s desire is to fully reunite the olive tree of Yisr’el—both branches--Ephraim and Judah—into one, redeemed, nation of Yisr’el—through Messiah Yahshua.  They seek to arouse Ephraim from obscurity, and by example, to awaken Judah to the Messiah—and thus to hasten both Yahshua’s return to Earth and the restoration of the Kingdom to Yisr’el (Mat 6:10; 12:25; 21:43; 24:43; Luke 22:29-30; Mark 13:34; Luke 22:29-30; 2 Chr 11:4; Eze 37:15-28; Jer 11:10,16; 2:18,21; Rom 11:17,24: Eph 2:11-22: Acts 1:6).

Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el, also known as “the Way,” affirms that the Jewish people have been kept identifiable as seed of the patriarch Jacob, Yehowah’s covenant people, to preserve His Holy Torah (Law), Feasts, and Shabbat (Sabbath); that the salvation of the Jewish people through their acceptance of Messiah Yahshua, will be the crowning act of mankind’s redemption, and is necessary for the restoration of the Kingdom to Yisr’el.  Further, the Father plans that Ephraim, they being the “wild olive branch,” stimulate Judah to want what they have; they are called to walk in a way that will  make Judah jealous of their relationship with the God of Yisr’el (Gen 48:19; Isa 11:13; 37:31,32; Zec 2:12; Eze 37:15-28; Hosea 1:7; Rom 10:19; 11:11,14; Mat 23:39).

Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el, also known as “the Way,” believes the non-Jewish followers of Yahshua are predominately returning Ephraim, those who were once among the Gentiles as “LoAmmi,” “Not a people,” but have now been restored to the commonwealth of Yisr’el through their covenant with Yisr’el’s Messiah; that, they are no more Gentiles, but fulfill the promised restoration of uprooted Ephraim, and Jacob’s prophecy that Ephraim would become “melo hagoyim,” the “fulness of the Gentiles.”  As Ephraim, they have been kept in mystery until recently, being used to preserve the testimony of Yahshua, the Messiah of all Yisr’el.  Their awakening, recognition, and performance as Ephraim, and their union with Judah, is a necessity for salvation of “all” Yisr’el, and the restoration of the Kingdom to Yisr’el (Gen 48:19; Hosea 1:9-10; 5:3; 8:8; Amos 9:9; Jer 31:18-19; Zec 10:7; Rom 9:24-26; 11:26; Eph 2:11-22).

Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el, also known as “the Way,” declares that Believers in Yahshua were not meant to replace Judah as Yisr’el, but as “Ephraim,” they are part of the called out ones, and in these latter-days, the Father is leading them to, whenever Scripturally possible, join with Judah; that Judah (faithful Jewish ones who will receive Messiah) and Ephraim (faithful non-Jewish Messiah followers) ultimately will fulfill the destiny of the two houses of Yisr’el: that together they might fulfill the prophesies about the one, unified, victorious people of Yisr’el (Jer 31:9; Rom 8:29; Col 1:15,18; 2:12; Heb 12:22-24; Lev 23:2-36; Exo 19:5; 1 Pet 1:1; 2:9; Jer 3:18; 23:6; Zec 8:13; 12:1-5; Mat 25:31-46; Exo 12:48-49; Num 15:15-16; Isa 56:3,6-8).

Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el, also known as “the Way,” maintains that up to this general time “blindness in part” has happened to all (both houses) of Yisr’el, and as the blinders are lifted, non-Jewish followers in Yahshua will gain insight into their role as Ephraim, they will become defenders of Scriptural Torah and of Judah, and due to this character change, many Jewish people will accept Yahshua as Messiah.  This process has already begun as indicated through the Messianic Jewish movement (Judah), the Christian Zionism movement (Ephraim), and the Messianic Yisr’el movement (union of Judah and Ephraim) (Isa 8:14; 11:13; Rom 11:25,26; Jer 33:14-16; 31:18-19; Ezek 37:15-

The Reunion and full restoration of the two houses: This is the hope that burns in the hearts of those of Messianic Nazarene Yisr’el.
