  Two Houses Of Yisr'el  

THE RESURRECTION OF JUDAH  AND ISRAEL

by Merlin Houzet

The following sampling of prophetic statements (in the future tense) from the Tanach "O.T." and the Brit Chadassah "N.T." dramatically demonstrate that the re-unification, restoration and ultimate resurrection under Yahushua haMashiach of both Houses of Israel (Judah and Ephraim), in the physical Land of Israel, is a joyfully expected future literal event.

 WAKE AND SING YE (ALL ISRAEL) THAT DWELL IN DUST (FUTURE TENSE)

 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast." (Isaiah 26:19,20)

I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES (FUTURE TENSE) AND BRING YOU INTO THE LAND  OF ISRAEL (PHYSICAL ISRAEL)

"Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith Yehowah Elohim; 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. And ye shall know that I am Yehowah, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 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 Yehowah have spoken it, and performed it, saith Yehowah."  (Ezek 37:12-14)

I WILL MAKE (FUTURE TENSE) JUDAH AND ISRAEL (BOTH HOUSES) ONE NATION IN THE LAND (PHYSICAL ISRAEL)

"The word of Yehowah came again unto me, saying, 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 Yehowah Elohim; 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. And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. And say unto them, Thus saith the Yehowah Elohim; 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: 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 Elohim." (Ezek 37:15-23)

DAVID (YAHUSHUA HA-MASHIACH) SHALL BE (FUTURE TENSE) KING OVER THEM (BOTH HOUSES)

"And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I Yehowah do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore." (Ezek 37:24-28)

THEY (ALL ISRAEL) SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT (FUTURE TENSE) OF Yehowah ELOHIM

"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of Elohim. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me." (John 6:44,45)

 

"And all thy children shall be taught of Yehowah; and great shall be the peace of thy children." (Isaiah 54:13)

 Yehowah WILL SETTLE (FUTURE TENSE) THEM IN THEIR OWN LAND (PHYSICAL ISRAEL)

 "When Yehowah will have compassion on Jacob and again choose Israel, and settle them in their own land, then strangers will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob..." (Isaiah 14:1)

NOT ONE (BOTH HOUSES) SHALL BE MISSING (FUTURE TENSE)

"Seek from the book of Yehowah, and read: Not one of these will be missing; none will lack its mate. For His mouth has commanded, and His Spirit has gathered them. He has cast the lot for them, and His hand has divided it to them by line. They shall possess it forever; from generation to generation they will dwell in it." (Isaiah 34:16,17)

 THOU SHALT REST, AND STAND IN THY LOT (PHYSICAL ISRAEL) AT THE END OF THE DAYS (FUTURE TENSE)

"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." (Dan 12:1-12)

SORROW AND SIGHING WILL FLEE AWAY (FUTURE TENSE)

"And the ransomed of Yehowah will return and come with joyful shouting to Zion, with everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." (Isaiah 35:10) 

SHARON (IN PHYSICAL ISRAEL) WILL BE PASTURE LAND FOR FLOCKS (FUTURE TENSE) 

"I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and an heir of My mountain from Judah; even My chosen ones shall inherit it, and my servants will dwell there. Sharon will be a pasture land for flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me." (Isaiah 65:9,10) 

JUDAH AND ISRAEL (BOTH HOUSES) WILL COME TOGETHER (FUTURE TENSE) 

"In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers as an inheritance." (Jer 3:18) 

BANISHED ISRAEL (ALL ISRAEL) WILL COME FROM ALL OVER (FUTURE TENSE) 

"Therefore behold, days are coming, declares Yehowah, when it will no longer be said, 'as Yehowah lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,' but, 'as Yehowah lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.' For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers." (Jer 16:14,15) 

I WILL RESTORE YOUR FORTUNES (FUTURE TENSE) 

"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." (Jer 12:15) 

"I will be found of you, declares Yehowah, and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, declares Yehowah, and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile." (Jer 29:14) 

"Thus says Yehowah, the Elohim of Israel, 'write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. For behold, days are coming,' declares Yehowah, 'when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' Yehowah says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.'" (Jer 30:2,3) 

I HAVE HEARD EPHRAIM (TEN-TRIBED ISRAEL) GRIEVING 

"Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears; for your work will be rewarded, declares Yehowah, and they will return from the land of the enemy. There is hope for your future, declares Yehowah, and your children will return to their own territory. I have surely heard Ephraim grieving, 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained calf; bring me back that I may be restored, for You are Yehowah my Elohim...' (Jer 31:16-18) 

I WILL BRING ISRAEL BACK (FUTURE TENSE) 

"And I will bring Israel back to his pasture and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan, and his desire will be satisfied in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead." (Jer 50:19) 

I WILL GIVE  (FUTURE TENSE) YOU THE LAND OF ISRAEL (PHYSICAL ISRAEL)

"Therefore say, 'thus says Yehowah Elohim, "I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."' (Ezek 11:17) 

"As a soothing aroma I will accept you when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I will prove Myself holy among you in the sight of the nations. And you will know that I am Yehowah when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the land which I swore to give to your forefathers." (Ezek 20:41,42) 

I WILL FEED (FUTURE TENSE) MY FLOCK (ALL ISRAEL) AND WILL LEAD THEM TO REST

"I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in the inhabited places of the land. I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock and will lead them to rest, declares Yehowah." (Ezek 34:13-15) 

FOR BEHOLD, I AM FOR YOU (Yehowah IS FOR ALL ISRAEL) 

"But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come. For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be cultivated and sown. I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be rebuilt. I will multiply on you man and beast; and they will increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as you were formerly and will treat you better than at the first. Thus you will know that I am Yehowah. Yes, I will cause men - My people Israel - to walk on you and possess you, so that you will become their inheritance and never again bereave them of children." (Ezek 36:8-12) 

I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART (OFFER IS FOR ALL ISRAEL) 

"For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your Elohim." (Ezek 36:24-28) 

YE (ALL ISRAEL) MUST BE BORN AGAIN (PRESENT TENSE) 

"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Yahushua by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from Elohim: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except Elohim be with him. Yahushua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Elohim. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Yahushua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Ruach, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Elohim. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Ruach. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Yahushua answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For Elohim so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For Elohim sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of Elohim. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." (John 3:1-19) 

I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSES OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH (NOTE THAT THE NEW COVENANT IS SPECIFICALLY WITH THE HOUSES Of ISRAEL)

"Behold, the days come, saith Yehowah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith Yehowah:  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith Yehowah, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yehowah: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Yehowah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jer 31:31-34)

AFTER MANY DAYS (FUTURE TENSE) YOU (ALL ISRAEL) WILL BE SUMMONED

"After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them." (Ezek 38:8) 

THEY (ALL ISRAEL) WILL NOT AGAIN BE ROOTED OUT FROM THEIR LAND (PHYSICAL ISRAEL) 

"Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, and they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; they will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, and make gardens and eat their fruit. I will also plant them on their land, and they will not again be rooted out from their land which I have given them, says Yehowah your Elohim." (Amos 9:14,15) 

TO YOU (ALL ISRAEL) WILL COME (FUTURE TENSE) THE FORMER DOMINION

"In that day, declares Yehowah, I will assemble the lame and gather the outcasts, Even those whom I have afflicted. I will make the lame a remnant and the outcasts a strong nation. And Yehowah will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on and forever. As for you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you will come - even the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem." (Micah 4:6-8) 

IN THE HOUSES OF ASHKELON (PHYSICAL ISRAEL) THEY WILL LIE DOWN (FUTURE TENSE)

"And the coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah, they will pasture on it. In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening; for Yehowah their Elohim will care for them and restore their fortune." (Zeph 2:7) 

Yehowah WILL POSSESS JUDAH AS HIS PORTION (FUTURE TENSE) 

"Many nations will join themselves to Yehowah in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in their midst, and you will know that Yehowah of hosts has sent Me to you. Yehowah will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem." (Zech 2:11,12) 

THEY (ALL ISRAEL) SHALL BE (FUTURE TENSE) MY PEOPLE

"Thus says Yehowah of hosts, behold I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their Elohim in truth and righteousness." (Zech 8:7,8) 

I WILL WHISTLE (FUTURE TENSE) FOR THEM (ALL ISRAEL) TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER (BOTH HOUSES)

"I will strengthen the house of Judah, and will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back, because I have had compassion on them; and they will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am Yehowah their Elohim and I will answer them. Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will be glad as if from wine; indeed, their children will see it and be glad, their heart will rejoice in Yehowah. I will whistle for them to gather them together, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they were before. When I scatter them among the peoples, they will remember Me in far countries, and they with their children will live and come back. I will bring them back from the land of Egypt and gather them from Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon until no room can be found for them." (Zech 10:8-10) 

HE SHALL SEND HIS ANGELS WITH THE GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, AND THEY  SHALL GATHER TOGETHER  (FUTURE TENSE) HIS ELECT (ALL ISRAEL)

"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matt 24:30-51) 

SPEAKING OF THINGS PERTAINING TO THE KINGDOM OF ELOHIM

"To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of Elohim: And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Ruach haKodesh not many days hence. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Ruach haKodesh is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Yahushua, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:3-11)
