“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” Proverbs 25:2

“For, brothers, I want you to understand this truth which God formerly concealed but has now revealed, so that you won’t imagine you know more than you actually do.” Romans 11:25 (CJB)

All Israel will be Saved

All Israel First we have to clearly define what “all Israel” is. Believe it or not, many religious doctrines ignore the Bible history, and that is why they are fundamentally incorrect. Almost full disregard is paid to the event of splitting ancient Israel into two kingdoms followed by scattering of the 10 Northern tribes who disappeared by assimilation among other nations. Nevertheless, the nation of Israel is the only nation that has Biblical promise to be fully saved. Salvation has never been promised to all mankind, or to any other nation. It has not been promised to all British people; it has not been promised to all Americans or to all Germans. But it is written that all Israel will be saved. What is so special about Israel? Israel is not just one of the nations of the Earth. Israel is the greatest God’s “MEGA PROJECT” after His creation of the Universe.  ISRAEL is God’s brainchild;  His firstborn;  His witness;  the apple of His eye;  His Bride.

All Israel will be Saved

The name "Israel" is literally translated "directly-to-God". This means that God’s community has had a direct unlimited access to the Most High; that the doors of Almighty's abode are open, and a “hot line” with the Creator is always available. The "access code" is right there in the very name! One thing will be helpful to clarify the issue. The term "All Israel" in the Scriptures means the complete structure of God’s Congregation

composed

of

twelve

sub-divisions

or

departments (tribes). Each of those sub-divisions has its own specific function both in natural, and in eternity. The book of Revelation (7:3) states that there is going to be 144,000 marked servants of God from EVERY TRIBE of the people of Israel. In Revelation 5:5, Yeshua (Jesus) is called “The Lion of the tribe of Judah”. His Bride as depicted in Revelation 21 is an Israeli Bride.  12 gates have the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel written on them.  The twelve foundation-stones of the wall of the city have the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 6


All Israel will be Saved

 The twelve foundation stones are the same gemstones as in the breastplate of judgment of the High Priest. (Ex.28:15-21) God created His special community Israel to be His WITNESSES to the rest of the world. “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior. 12 I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses,” Says the Lord, “that I am God. (Isaiah 43:10-12) The God’s community was built upon the descendants of the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel). The twelve sons fathered the 12 families or tribes. However, the community has always been variegated: not only blood relatives have been in, but also various foreigners residing among them. In the Society of God at all times there were proselytes, the sons of foreigners "who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name

of the Lord, to be His servants – everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant." (Is.56: 6). Remarkable, though a lot of non-Israelites came out of Egypt altogether with the sons of Jacob, they had no specific place in the scheme of organizing encampment, and they had no special line in the Census. We can therefore conclude that the non-Israelites, who had become Israelites, were assigned to the tribes of Israel. Just as Caleb a prince of the tribe of Judah (not from the lineage of Judah!), the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, who “wholly followed the Lord God of Israel”. For centuries, God has led this society, taught, polished, punished, had mercy ... and prepared for salvation! The biblical word Israel is often carried over to the modern Jews by default. "All Israel" is not all the modern state of Israel or all the Jewish people (tribe of Judah). Though, since 722 BC there has survived only one tribe of Judah and individual representatives of other tribes of Israel. As we read in Jacob’s blessing in Genesis 49:10, “The tribe (shevet) shall not depart from Judah”. And where are the other tribes? They are lost. The largest number of Bible prophecy refers to the issue of reunion and salvation of all Israel. This is the key to understanding the entire Bible! 8


All Israel will be Saved

All Israel will be saved As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 47:4 The idea of ingathering of Israel’s Exiles first mentioned in Deuteronomy 30:1-5 when Moses spoke about the destiny of the people of Israel prior to their entrance into the Land of Israel. He foresaw that Israelites would sin in their land and would therefore be exiled. However, he also foresaw the people's return to their homeland. 1. And it will be, when all these things come upon you the blessing and the curse which I have set before you that you will consider in your heart, among all the nations where the Lord your God has banished you, 2. and you will return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day you and your children, 3. then, the Lord, your God, will bring back your exiles, and He will have mercy upon you. He will once again gather you from all the nations, where the Lord, your God, had dispersed you. 4. Even if your exiles are at the end of the heavens, the Lord, your God, will gather you from there, and He will take you from there. 5. And the Lord, your God, will bring you to the land which your forefathers possessed, and you will take possession of it, and He will do good to you, and He will make you more numerous than your forefathers. (Deuteronomy 30:1-5) 9


All Israel will be Saved

Moses emphasized the condition for the gathering of Israel’s exiles: “you will return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day you and your children.” Several exiles of Israel followed Moses’ prophesy. But only one of them radically differed from all others: the captives never returned home. That was the exile of the ten tribes of Northern Kingdom also known as House of Israel, House of Joseph, House of Ephraim, or just Ephraim. Around 722 BC the Assyrians invaded the Northern Kingdom. The population of Israel was taken captive, and scattered among the huge Assyrian empire. Eventually, they lost their national unity, and finally lost their identity. Thus the ten tribes of Israel totally dissolved among other nations.

The continual hope for a return of the Israelite exiles to the land has been in the hearts of Jews ever since the Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy) split into two kingdoms. Writings of the prophets encouraged the people with a promise of a future gathering of the exiles to the land of Israel. The Jewish sages 10


All Israel will be Saved

connect its materialization with the coming of the Messiah. Restoration of all Israel, reunion of all the 12 tribes including the lost 10 tribes has been a dream and a prayer of the Jews for thousands of years! Three times daily in all synagogues of the world the Jews pray "Ingathering of the Exiles" to return all the lost Israelites. Blessed are You, Lord our God and God of our fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome God, exalted God, who bestows bountiful kindness, who creates all things, who remembers the piety of the Patriarchs, and who, in love, brings a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of His Name. Your power is forever, Lord, You resurrect the dead to life, you are the great deliverer. You are powerful to save. Blow the great shofar [announcing] our freedom; and raise a banner under which our exiles scattered around the world will gather; and bring us together from the four corners of the earth into our land. Blessed are You Lord, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel”.

In which way all Israel will be saved? The answer is in Isaiah 11:1-16:

“The Lord will raise A

BANNER TO THE NATIONS, to assemble the dispersed (lost) of Israel, and to gather the scattered ones of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” 11


All Israel will be Saved

A branch will emerge from the trunk of Jesse, a shoot will grow from his roots. 2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him… 10

On that day the root of Jesse, which stands as A BANNER (ensign) for the peoples – the Gentiles will seek him out… 11

On that day the Lord will raise his hand again, a second time, to reclaim the remnant of His people who remain from Ashur, Egypt, Patros, Ethiopia… 12

He will raise A BANNER TO THE NATIONS, to assemble the dispersed (lost) of Israel, and to gather the scattered ones of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 13

Ephraim’s (10 tribes) jealousy will cease – those who harass Judah (Jewish people) will be cut off, Ephraim (10 tribes) will stop envying Judah (Jewish people), and Judah (Jewish people) will stop provoking Ephraim (10 tribes). 14

TOGETHER they will pillage the people to the east …

15

The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian Sea… and enabling people to cross dry-shod. 16

There will be a HIGHWAY for the remnant of His people who are still left from Ashur (Ephraim = 10 tribes) just as there was for Israel when he came out from the land of Egypt. Apostle Paul specifies the hidden details of this secret plan. 12


All Israel will be Saved

“blindness in part has happened to Israel UNTIL THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES has come in. And in this way all Israel (all 12 tribes) will be saved.” (Rom.11:25-26) That was a mystery hidden from Israel till the last times. Paul says that he learned about this mystery directly from the Lord: “by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel.” (Eph.3:3-6) Yeshua from the trunk of Jesse (the line of David) stands as a banner for the Gentiles to “make in Himself one new man out of the two, so making peace,

16

and that He might reconcile both

unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.” (Eph.2:15-16) Here are the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: He said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24)

All Israel will be Saved

In Jeremiah 50, the HOUSE OF ISRAEL (Northern Kingdom) is called LOST SHEEP. "In those days and in that time, saith the Lord, the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL (Northern Kingdom) shall come, they AND the CHILDREN OF JUDAH (Southern Kingdom) ... My people have been LOST SHEEP: their shepherds have caused them to go astray... ISRAEL is a SCATTERED SHEEP, the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria (who took the Northern Kingdom captive) hath devoured him: and last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (who took the Southern Kingdom captive). (Jer.50:4-6, 17) It was the Northern Kingdom who was "cut off" from their covenant and needed the Messiah to come from the Southern Kingdom (House of Judah) from the line of David to bring them back into covenant relationship (renewed covenant) with the God of Israel (lo-ruhamah = no mercy, and lo-ammi = not My people). These were the lost sheep of the "house of Israel". Apostle Peter addresses his first letter to the believers as “God’s chosen people, scattered exiles”; i.e. to the lost sons of Israel. Peter reminds them of their status, calling, and mission.

From: Peter, an apostle of Yeshua the Messiah To: God’s chosen people, exiles scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, the province of Asia, and 14

All Israel will be Saved

Paul wrote to Romans almost the same words: …us, whom he called not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles? 25 As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not My people I will call My people; her who was not loved I will call loved; 26 and in the very place where they were told, ‘You are not My people,’ there they will be called sons of the living God!”

Two Olives In Romans 11, Apostle Paul depicts a vivid scene of a good olive tree with broken-off branches, and grafted-in branches of a wild olive tree; as an allegory of ALL ISRAEL salvation. An olive tree has been known as a symbol of Israel as seen in Jeremiah 11:2, 16-17. “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem… The Lord called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm he will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken. 17


All Israel will be Saved

The Lord Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the people of both Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused my anger by burning incense to Baal…” In Jeremiah’s text, an olive tree is called a God's plant. It stands for ALL ISRAEL as a symbol of the Lord’s Society. We see a picture of an "incomplete" olive tree with broken-off branches. That word of God was addressed to the men of Judah, that is, to survivors of the House of Judah who represented Israel in the earth for the time being. (Modern Jews are descendants of the tribe of Judah and "the children of Israel, allied with him"). Apostle Paul used this very picture of the olive tree with broken-off branches to unveil the hidden God's plan of reunion of the two houses of Israel (Romans 11:17-20). "If some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and became partaker of the root of the olive tree ... They were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith not be haughty, but fear. "

18


All Israel will be Saved

Some scholars believe that the branches were broken off because the Jews did not accept Jesus as the Messiah. But the Scripture says that this happened much earlier: in 7-8 centuries BC. A prophet Jeremiah said, unbelief of both houses of Israel caused the branches to be broken off. By burning incense to Baal, they terminated their covenant with God; they cut themselves off the Assembly of the Lord, and became Gentiles‌ An allegory of broken-off olive branches allowed the apostle Paul to draw an analogy with a natural olive tree. In Romans, Apostle Paul, speaks of two varieties of olives: a cultivated and a wild one. Paul called the Gentile believers "a wild olive". Notice, Paul does not call them a pear, an apple or a plum. He calls them an olive tree, although a wild, abandoned, and nongroomed one. The same breed of a tree! In natural wild olive trees reproduce by cuttings. When branches of a cultivated olive are broken off and neglected, they start to grow by themselves tending to spread fast. They normally bring very thin fruit that does not have much oil. A "good" olive In Romans 11 symbolizes ALL ISRAEL in its fullness, and its successor the Southern kingdom (Judah). Who 19


All Israel will be Saved

is the second one? A wild olive stands for the lost, “run wild” tribes of Israel! “I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles… if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. (Romans 11:13-18) Wild olives bring small bony fruit, which almost have no pulp, respectively, have almost no oil. Gardeners know how to make wild olive branches bear good fruit; they graft those branches into a cultivated olive tree. Obviously, branches cannot grow on 2 trees at the same time! So at first they need to be cut off - completely - from their mother tree. Otherwise, there will be nothing to graft! They need to be cut off from their old ways; off the former parenting; off all former nutrition. Only after that, they may be grafted into a good tree with an entirely different root system and different juice. And then, having gone through a painful post surgery period, consuming the juice of a cultivated olive tree, the branches of wild olive can yield good juicy fruit. 20


All Israel will be Saved

Grafting to the roots of a good olive is a way out of pagan cults and impurities. “This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ...� (Eph.4:17-20) Two olives as symbols of the two houses of Israel are found in Nehemiah 8:14-15. In the festival of tabernacles, two varieties of olive branches: olive and wild olive were used for the construction of booths as symbols of reunion of the two houses of Israel.

Who is the Church of Christ? On the fiftieth day after the Exodus from Egypt, 12 tribes of Israel became a God's nation at Mount Sinai (Ex.1920). Thirteen centuries later, at the celebration

of

this

event

called 21


All Israel will be Saved

Shavuot (Pentecost) in Jerusalem, there was formed another community of Gentile believers in the Messiah of Israel. They became known as "Church" – a word of Greek, or Gothic ORIGIN which in Greek is Ecclesia. Has the Church as an Institution appeared regardless of God's promises (prophecies) to Israel? Does the Church have anything to do with the Assembly of the Lord? This causes much confusion. 

Does this mean that God has two different communities? Since the words are different, it is likely that the inner content is also different?

Did the Church become Israel?

If so, then who are the Jews? Are they also Israel?

Does this mean that God has two brides: Israel and the Church? Can God be a bigamist?

Or has He rejected Israel, and now he has another bride?

Few people know that the word "church" (Greek Ecclesia) is the translation of Hebrew "kahal" or "kehilat" (assembly or congregation) as can be seen in the Septuagint (Hebrew Scriptures translated to Greek). 22


All Israel will be Saved

In Hebrews 2 verse 12 there is a quotation from Psalm 22. Compare these two texts: “I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” (Hebrews 2:12) “I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the "kahal" (assembly) will I sing praise unto thee.” (Ps.22:23) In Deuternomony 9:10, 10:4, 18:16, the event at MOUNT SINAI is called the DAY OF THE ASSEMBLY (Ecclesia in Greek and Kahal in Hebrew). Those people who were at Mount Sinai who were called an assembly/ Ecclesia (church) were the HOUSE OF JACOB (Exodus 19:3) and the NATION OF ISRAEL. What really happened during the celebration of the DAY OF THE ASSEMBLY (Acts 2)? God announced the beginning of the restoration of ALL Israel. How did He do that? God confirmed that by manifestation the same signs and wonders that had been manifested at Mount Sinai (Acts 2, Ex.20). Precisely it was for those signs that caused 3000 Jews to accept Yeshua the Messiah and get baptized (Acts 2). All this suggests that the Church is not a separate or autonomous entity. Church was established as a part of the Community of the Lord; the missing part, which had been lost in the 8th century BC. 23


All Israel will be Saved

In his epistle to the Gentile saints in Ephesus, Apostle Paul says that God predestined them to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, in order to lead them into His community. (Eph.1:5) “Therefore, remember your former state: you Gentiles by birth – called the Uncircumcised by those who, merely because of an operation on their flesh, are called the Circumcised – at that time had no Messiah. You were estranged from the national life of Israel. You were foreigners to the covenants embodying God’s promise. You were in this world without hope and without God. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:11-13) Gentiles in the flesh should remember that they had been estranged aliens from the national life of Israel long before the Messiah came. (Eph.2:12) They had been doomed, had no hope, and had been far from the true God without the Messiah of Israel. Because they had been

"alienated

from

the

commonwealth

of

Israel”, separated and lived apart from God's community. Please note the word estranged! The verb "estrange" means cause (someone) to be no longer close or affectionate to someone; alienate, disunite, dissociate, disjoin, disconnect. 24


All Israel will be Saved

If those Gentiles had never had anything in common with Israel, the apostle would have said otherwise. He would have told

them,

"you

were

STRANGERS",

rather

than

"ESTRANGED FROM the commonwealth of Israel". What

estrangement

did

Apostle

Paul talk about? The one that happened long before, in the 8th century BC, after which the majority of Israelites mixed up with pagan nations. The estrangement that was announced in the book of a prophet Hosea, and the confirmation of which is found in Zechariah. “Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family bond (brotherhood) between Judah and Israel.� (Zech.11:14)

Not only the brotherhood was broken to pieces, but also the life paths of the 2 houses have diverged ever since. It happened almost three thousand years ago. It looked like the end of the story. However, many Bible prophecies indicate that the lost 25


All Israel will be Saved

tribes will be restored and all Israel - all the 12 tribes - will be saved! God says: Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first. I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me." (Jer.33:6-8)

Fullness of Gentiles These were the words Jacob uttered while him blessing the younger son of Joseph, Ephraim, in the book of Genesis 48:1319. “His seed shall become a multitude (fullness) of nations.” Remember, the Northern kingdom is also called Ephraim? “Multitude of nations” literally means “the fullness of peoples” Paul used these words (“the fullness of peoples”) for "the fullness of the Gentiles" that is to come in. The fact that God is

26


All Israel will be Saved

going bring many people to dispersed of Israel, is found in Isaiah 56:6-8,

"And the children of foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant will I bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer ... Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him" Gathering “others” to the outcasts of Israel associated with Ephraim. God will have a lot of children out of the nations, and Ephraim is the one to bring the crop in. The culmination of the harvest is expressed in Romans 11:25 as "the fullness of the Gentiles" who is to come in through the gospel and then all Israel will be saved.

In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37, God promises to restore the broken family bond. Son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ Then join them 27


All Israel will be Saved

one to another for yourself into one stick, and THEY WILL BECOME ONE in your hand.

I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand. (Ez.37:16-17, 19) It is well known that the house of Judah has been returning to the land of Israel since 1948.

"And the Lord will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah." (Zech.12:7) House of Joseph (Ephraim) is on his way. However, the words of the prophet Ezekiel 37 clearly state: "the stick of Judah and the stick of Ephraim will become ONE STICK and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no 28


All Israel will be Saved

longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. (Ezekiel 37:19,22)

Thanks to the redemptive work of the Messiah, Gentiles obtained the possibility to become co-heirs and partakers of God's great promises together with the Jews. Thanks to Yeshua, the Gentiles can become a part of Israel, a part of the chosen people by faith... And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph.2:1-9) 29


All Israel will be Saved

This is what Paul called a mystery, and the Gentiles in the flesh have had to remember. They have become God’s people through the Messiah of Israel. Owing to Yeshua (Jesus), they have become a part of Israel. NOT a NEW ISRAEL replacing Israel in the flesh, but they have become a part of Israel. The house of Israel assimilated within the Gentile world. The natural descendants of the Northern Kingdom (house of Israel / Ephraim) who was taken captive by the Assyrians still exist in the earth and the God of Israel knows the location of each of them. That is why Jesus told His disciples to go around the world and be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. And it shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will thresh, From the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt; And you will be gathered ONE BY ONE, children of Israel. (Isaiah 27:12) For surely I will command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations, As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground. (Amos 9:9).

30


All Israel will be Saved

THE House of Ephraim is partly represented by believers from among the Gentiles who responded to the call of God and who have accepted the redemptive work of Yeshua the Messiah. They are the people with spiritual genetics – the "DNA" of God in their spirits, with the deep memory of the long-standing engagement with the Almighty. They can be found in the Church in every generation… Since the 1st century God has been gathering them to get them back into the community of Israel; to lead them back to their land that has always belonged to them, and which God has promised to their forefathers. The House of Ephraim (Israel) is the mysterious "full number of the Gentiles" who is to come in back to the Father’s home! How can one tell who really belongs to the lost tribes? This question is answered by God in the prophet Zechariah: Though I scattered them among the nations, yet in far countries they shall remember me, and with their children they shall live and return. (Zech.10:9)

31


All Israel will be Saved

Who can remember? Only those who once had known and forgotten... In his oblivion of God, Ephraim hears the call of the Lord through the Cross of the Messiah, and his “heart shall rejoice as if with wine�. Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine. Yes, their children shall see it and be glad; Their heart shall rejoice in the Lord. I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; And they shall increase as they once increased. (Zech.10:7-8) He who had become a Gentile returns to his God through the Blood of the New Covenant. So it shall be in that day: The great shofar (trumpet) will be blown; They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. (Is.27:13)

The shofar is being blown! Reunion is about to come! Blessed are the people who know the Lord's trumpet call: they walk in the light of thy countenance, O Lord. (Ps.89:15) Dry bones have come to motion. Ephraim rises ... God fulfills His promises!

All Israel will be Saved

New Stream Movement It all began with the Word. In 1999, on Mount Carmel in Israel, on the Mount where the prophet Elijah had confounded pagan prophets, God opened the wellspring of new outpouring of His Spirit and established New Stream Ministries. We are stewards of the Spirit’s movement .We travel around the world to raise the key people of the Kingdom over cities, regions and countries. We move strictly according to the word of the Creator, and at His timing. Through our ministry apostolic and prophetic authority is released, and redistribution of spiritual forces takes place in the region. God's children get out of bondage, "dry bones" come to life and begin to shine again. We minister for the benefit of the Kingdom of God, and we need prayer and financial support to carry out His plans. We look forward to cooperating with you and praying for your needs. We offer you the opportunity to experience the blessing of participating in our trips financially on a monthly basis to spread the kingdom in great power. Your part will not be forgotten by God! Even small financial support may open doors to many hearts, crying for help, wailing in pain, exhausted from dry season. We will come and the water of the Holy Spirit will be poured out. You can invite us to minister at conferences, congregations, home fellowships or special gatherings large or small. God willing, we will definitely come, and God will bless you! The New Stream team
