SABBATH SERVICES IN JANUARY

Sabbath January 1st Hillsdale Location, 2:00-6:30PM - This Sabbath we spent learning advanced reading in our Hebrew study.  We also came across some rules related to vowel pronunciation.  We have found that there are quite a few exceptions to basic rules in the Hebrew language.  One of these relates to DGESHIM, which are three rules that govern sound emphasis in reading Hebrew.  In this study, the dot inside the letter indicated a type of emphasis placed on the letter, and is categorized into three types of emphasis, such as Degesh Chazak, Dagesh Kal, and Mapik.  We also discussed CHATAF , which is a letter with a combined vowel.  In certain instances, the letter which might normally be pronounced with a certain vowel sound is in fact one of the exceptions to the rule, and is pronounced with a different vowel sound than is expected.  Next week will entail more advanced reading in Hebrew.  After Shabbat dinner (special thanks to sister Judith for the home made chili, split pea soup, garlic bread, dark green salad, and extras) we began the teaching by Monte Judah, which is the next to the last study in the series of the book of Revelation.  The teaching this week was taken from Revelation 20 and 21, and detailed both the Millennium and the New Jerusalem.  The various millennial positions were discussed, of which Monte Judah follows a literal millennial view which demands that the redeemed enter the millennium under the rulership of Yahshua.  In this eschatology, the resurrection of the dead, occurs after the millennial reign of the Messiah.  Some of the changes on the earth after the millennial kingdom ushers in were discussed including the earths topography being dramatically changed, conditions in atmosphere changed, economic system abolished whereby all men "eat the fruit of their own vine," animal kingdom restored, Messiah living in Jerusalem, and worship centered at Jerusalem in new resurrected bodies of the redeemed.  The gates of the city were also mentioned in that , again, the Two House context of the scriptures were brought forth to demand that all entering the city enter in through a gate named after one of the Tribes of Israel.  Isaiah also parallels the millennial teachings found in Revelations. 

Sabbath January 8th Hillsdale Location, 2:00-6:30PM - Our Hebrew studies entailed a page of advanced reading in 2 and 3 syllable words.  Some of them were quite difficult to figure out as many of them were grammatical exceptions.  We also went over 8 rules that govern transliteration from a language to Hebrew.  These rules have to do with using only certain letters in transliterating, and refraining from others that might have the same sound.  The usage of these letters indicate that the word is a transliteration.  After the Hebrew studies, dinner was served (special thanks to sister Judith for meal preps - chicken fingers, marinated chicken breasts, rice and beans, and extras).  Revelations 22 was the Torah portion today, by Monte Judah.  The last chapter of Revelations has remnants of what was spoken about in the first chapter, such as the reference to bondservants.  Monte discoursed the importance of water in the grafting in process, which is seen in the Mikvah, the passing of the Israelites beneath the waves of the Red Sea, and the story of Adam submerging in the river coming forth from Eden, which was closed off to him.  The millennium was also taught on, and details given from the revelation passage about the tribulation saints, who do make it into the promised land i.e. the millennium, unlike the children of Israel who wandered in the desert and who forsook their faith in YHWH.  The major point that Monte Judah made in all of this, was that to understand Revelations, you must understand Torah, and the teachings of Moses.

Sabbath January 15nth Hillsdale Location, 2:30-5:20PM - The Hebrew lessons from the The Living Hebrew Language Program Book dealt with transliteration rules and the difference between biblical script and modern Hebrew script.  Principally, the main difference between Biblical script and modern script is the grammar.  The rules that govern how the words are sounded out are the same between modern and biblical scripts. The exercises were taken from a biblical text in Genesis/Bereshith.  The word are tediously sounded out, but once they are sounded correctly, they can be remembered and the flow increases with practice.

Sabbath January 22nd Hillsdale Location, 2:20-6:00PM - We finished the The Living Hebrew Language Program Book but will probably refer back to it from time to time.  The final lessons had to do with common expressions, and exercises. Some expressions were Ma Nish Ma "whats up?", and Ma Kara "What happened?", as well many others that we familiarized ourselves with.  A meal was served (special thanks to sister Judith for the great tacos and fixings).  The second study was the introduction to First Steps in Hebrew Prayer .  We learned the first prayer by reading each word in Hebrew, and then playing the CD portion that gave the pronunciation of the word. The first prayer was the Blessing Upon Waking in the Morning , or the Modeh Ani.  We plan on reading each word carefully, and working on the memorization of these prayers as well as the transliteration.  For the next few study times, we may find another program to coincide with the First Steps in Hebrew Prayer , or we will start another Monte Judah study.

Sabbath January 29nth 1:00-7:00PM Cincinnati Ohio Location -  Two house Rabbi Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky teaching, after a wonderful praise and worship from the Agents of the Kingdom praise and worship duo based in Cincinnati Ohio. The praise and worship from this group was absolutely fantastic, authentic, and truly a blessing for all Nazarene Israel.  This group sang original music for the benefit of Nazarene Israel with a truly Hebraic flavor.  The teaching commenced as Rabbi Moshe began an intensive continuation of the Two House teaching from Bereshite to Revelations.  This will be a general overview of the scriptures that the Rabbi touched on.  Keep in mind that this is merely the tip of the iceberg, but nonetheless is enough to convince any thinking person of the validity of these truths. Moshe started out by reinforcing the concept of multiplicity of the seed of Yacob/Israel, into the Melo Ha' Goyim, or the "teaming multitudes" of nations on every continent that would carry in them the seed of Yacob/Israel (the promise was extended from Abraham , to Isaac, to Jacob, named later Israel).  The story then progressed to YHWH fulfilling His word in the events of the split of Davidic kingdom, into two houses, each containing certain tribes.  The house of Israel, with ten tribes split off from the House of Judah, who retained 3 tribes. However, it was to be the House of Israel who would fulfill the promises to become a Melo Ha' Goyim - or a great company of nations.  This was begun in the Assyrian captivity, where the House of Israel was scattered abroad into all the nations, losing their Israelite identity, and becoming "outcast" and divorced from Elohim.  However, the House of judah was not "outcast" but was only dispersed, to be regathered back again after the Babylonian captivity.  Because of the prophecy that says YHWH will multiply the children of Israel by 1000 times in the final generation, when the "fullness of the gentiles shall come in," making four out of five people in the earth be some kind of physical descendent of Israel, with Israelite blood.  The scriptures that Rabbi Moshe taught on were numerous and I will list them and explain them.  Mathew 10: 2,5 were two scriptures used ..10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Kepha, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;...10:5 These twelve sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:  These Scriptures have some interesting 2 House aspects to them, such as the fact that there are 12 apostles (parallels 12 tribes) and the fact that they are charged NOT to go into the gentile lands, but rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  He also sent them out two by two such that the symbolism of both houses is represented. Matthew 10:22 says .. 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.  This scripture displays the rancor which the early "sent ones" as well as Nazarene Israelites today will meet from religious folks who refuse to see the truths of the restoration of 's Malkhut. Matthew 14:20 says .. 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.  This scripture details further two house symbolism in the 12 baskets as being twelve tribes, and denoting that only good food such as bread and fish (five loaves of bread symbolic of five books of Moshe, the Torah Teaching) can be found within the construct that has ordained, namely the 12 tribes of Israel.  Matthew 15:24 .. 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  A cardinal scripture in determining the purpose and plan of is this scripture as it identifies just who it was that restoring to a covenent.  Matthew 16:17.. 16:17 And answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.  This scripture has to do with the restoration and that the keys of the kingdom have to do with the prophetic end time scenario and the absolute certainty that the restoration will occur. The Tabernacle of David will be restored as well as the Kahal of . Mathew 20:30 says .. 20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O master, thou Son of David. This scripture is very telling and has some very deep Sod elements. One of these is the idea that both of these blind men represent the two houses of Israel.  To be truthful, both the House of Judah and the House of Israel have blindness to overcome.  The House of Judah must overcome its refusal to accept the Jewish Messiah Yahshua, and the House of Israel must overcome its refusal to give up its paganism infected practices, and return to the Torah/Teaching given to Moshe.  Matthew 21:28 says .. 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.  This parable is another Two House scripture that shows 2 sons who are called by the Father to work in the vineyard.  The vineyard is symbolic of Greater Israel. The first son, who said he would go, but then in the end did "not" fulfill his word, is symbolic of the House of Judah when they clung closer to Torah, but then refused to acknowledge and accept the walking Torah Himself . The Other son who said he would not go, but then later repented and did in fact go, is seen as the House of Israel, who before went off into paganism and rejected the Father's decrees, but then later responded to the call of the Messiah/Mochiach to repent and return back to the vineyard and work as they were originally commanded. the final outcome of this parable is also indicative of Two House prophecy .. 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Moshe pointed out that a better translation in keeping with the context of the scripture and its intent would be "tribe" instead of nation, from the Greek word Ethnos.  In this way, it is seen that the keys and authority will be transferred from the Jewish hierarchy that rejected the plan of Elohim, and transferred to the Nazarene apostolic authority.  Matthew 24:31 .. 24:31 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.  Though long seen as a rapture scenario, this scripture actually means that the Messenger/Angels will gather all the outcast of Israel and bring them back into the land, to be united into one tribe, with the House of Judah. 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: ... This scripture is a clue that shows Israel symbolized as the fig tree. When the "fullness of the gentiles" (Romans 11) i.e. the "fig tree" is ripe, the tribes shall all come from the four corners of the earth and will be reestablished in the land of Israel. Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. This is an interesting scripture that shows 10 virgins.  The symbolism is the ten tribes of the House of Israel.  However, only 5 are wise, and rejoin.  The other 5 are unwise and do not join.  Another interesting comment made by Rabbi Moshe was the idea that the Aramaic Peshitta says something different than the Greek text says here .. 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.  The Aramaic text reads that the 5 wise virgins went to meat the Bridegroom and THE BRIDE.  The addition of the Bride indicates that the House of Judah is there with the Bridegroom, and they are simply waiting for the return of the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Mathew 28:18-20 And came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the age.  The concept of the Melo Ha' Goyim is seen here as the Messiah tells his taught ones to go into the nations and teach all men to observe all the commandments or the Torah.   Mark 1:17 And said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. This scripture gives us a clue as to what the Messiah/Mochiach was telling his taught ones.  The message is restoration of the two houses of Israel, into one commonwealth known as "the Israel of Elohim." - Gal:6:16 .  We see the concept of "fishers" in the TaNaKh here.. Jer:16:16: Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith , and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.  So, the Messiah was simply restoring what was broken down and reestablishing the Two Houses of Israel. Another idea in this is that they will be fishers of "men."  the concept "men" to is that they are his "Flock" as seen in Ezekial 34:31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your Elohim, saith the Master .  So, in essence, was sent to seek out and restore 's FLOCK.  Perhaps this is also what He meant by saying .. Jn:10:16: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.  The one fold will be the reunited commonwealth of Israel, and the one shepherd will be the Messiah/Mochiach Himself as King of KINGS during the millennial period.  Mark 5:13 And forthwith gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. Another Sod level teaching was given regarding this scripture.  The pigs are symbolic of the paganism that entered into history from the time of the Roman take over and persecution of the true Kahal of under Constantine.  So for about 2000 years, both Houses have had paganism in them, and have slid down the hill and have been chocked in the many nations of the earth.  This is a perfect picture of what happened nearly 2000 years ago.  Mark 5:35-43 details the sotry of a synogogue ruler who came to and begged him to heal his daughter, who was twelve years old.  did heal her, and she was resurrected from the dead.  The symbolism of 12 is another two house allegory of how when all twelve tribe have been reunited, they will receive healing and wholeness from a place of sickness i.e., the dispersion and paganistic religious belief.  Mark 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.  This is about a blind man who had to be touched twice.  The first touch was the salvation experience.  However, after this, the man sees people walking around as trees.  He does not perceive that they are just as he is, he sees them as something else.  Hence, the allegory is that Israel is blinded and continues to see others as "trees" or as separate branches.  Sotouches the blind man a second time, and he then sees the men for who they are, as men.  Hence the Allegory is that Israel, after being touched a second time, loses their blinders and will see themselves as Israel, and others to of Ephraim. In fact, this is the answer to racial integration.  All colors, as in Josephs robe are later considered the House of Israel, and grafted in as a true Israelite. Luke 1:30-33 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with .And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name . He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and Elohim shall give unto him the throne of his father David:  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.  This is another example of the Messiah/Mochiach prophesied as being the ruler over all the house of Jacob, meaning all twelve tribes! (Jeremiah 31:31)  And the statement at the end says that His kingdom never ends.  Hence dispensationalist views are very much in error if this verse is taken literally (as it should be taken).  Luke 9:12 through 9:17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. This story holds many Two House allegories as well in that there are five loaves of bread, symbolic of the five books of Moshe, and there are 2 fish, symbolic of the Two houses of Israel. The people had to eat of the five loaves and 2 fish, and the leftovers were all contained in 12 baskets, equaling 12 tribes of Israel.  Hence, any who do not eat this food, out of five loaves, 2 fish, and contained in 12 baskets are eating "junkfood," i.e. "false doctrine."  Luke 15 tells of the prodigal son story and the symbolism in this is very acute.  The prodigal son is the Ephraim believer who went away (the Assyrian Dispersion of the House of Israel) to spend all his Father's goodness on parties and whoredoms (symbol of the world at large) and finally decided that this life was not very good, and decided to come back to his Father's house.  The Father receives him gladly, and puts on a new robe.  However, the other son, the one that did what his Father wanted, and who labored for the kingdom, saw the joyful party thrown for the other son, and he refuses to go in to eat and join the party.  He complain bitterly to his Father regarding this "other" son who certainly didn't deserve such a party. This other son is the House of Judah who doesn't like the prospect of Ephraim coming back to share the Father's table.  They are content to let Ephraim have the table scraps that fall from the table to the ground, for common dogs.  However, the parable shows that the Father will have mercy on His son who returns, and give him a seat at the Father's table.  Luke 17:17 And answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?  This story detailed how ten lepers (ten persons of the tribes of Israel) came toand were told to go to the priests, upon which they were healed on the way. Only one returned to give thanks.  The idea in this passage is that those believers who have only been touched once may be cleansed, but they are not healed from their blindness all the way.  This is true of most of Churchianity who are still blind to their Israelitish roots.  Hence, for those who wish to remain blind, we do not worry about them.  Only those who are called can be given this special understanding, which unlocks many doors. John 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? The Mochiach speaks to this woman, chides her for her sinfulness, but never repudiates her claim that she belongs to the house of Jacob. The Mochiach affirms her in this and is proof that He considered her Ephraim, or the lost sheep of the House of Israel. John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.  is saying that there are many other sheep scattered out that he intends to bring back into a full restoration of all Israel. these may not be of the fold, but they are still Israelite. John 11:47-52 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of Elohim that were scattered abroad.  The Fact that the High Priest is acknowledging the plan of the to regather and save all those not only in the nation of Israel, but all those scattered abroad is another proof that the Two House message was even known to the Pharisees! Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Rabbi, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?  The Talmidim had the EXPECTATION that restore the Tabernacle of David, inclusive of BOTH houses back into the land, and make them sovereign again.  Acts 2:1,2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. The idea of a wind is not conveyed as accurately as a deep groaning within each of the people there.  Also, in Acts it is said they met in an upper room.  However, this is nowhere in the Aramaic text because it says there that they met on the temple mount.  And if they did meet in an upper room, why does it say in verse 2:46 (And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,) That they CONTINUED in the temple?  In truth, the believers met on the temple mount as part of the Deuteronomy 16:16 prescribed feast, and it was HERE that they first received the Ruach Ha' Kodesh and then they CONTINUED in the temple giving praise and thanksgiving to Elohim.  Hence, some scribery was obviously at work to give the impression that Pentecost birthed a whole new religion.  Additional proof of where the church was born is found here --Acts 7:37,38  This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall your Elohim raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:  Hence, the Church (as the Greek term is) was birthed at Sinai. James :1 James, a servant of and of the Master the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.  Clearly this shows that the Emissary James knew about the dispersion of the tribes, and was a two house believer.  Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith , when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:  Another scripture proving the Two House message and a parallel of Jeremiah 31:31.  1st Peter :9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:  This scripture demonstrates how we are a seprate Nation, and a peculiar people.  Only Torah can make a people peculiar in context of the rest of the world. 1st Galatians 3:28,29 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in the Messiah .And if ye be the Messiah's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.  All those who profess faith in Messiah are Abraham's scattered seed, and part of the Melo Ha' Goyim, which was prophesied to contain those who were from the house of Israel. Ephesians 2:11,12 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without the Messiah, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without Elohim in the world.  Clearly this shows that Sha'ul/Paul knew about the Two House message because he knows about how the House of Israel was made an "alien" from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenant of promise as spoken and prophesied by the prophet Hosea.  Further in the passage, it says the middle wall of partition was broken down.  This middle wall is the enmity and vexation that Judah has towards Israel and Israel (the lost House) has towards Judah.  Revelations 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:  This shows that if anyone wants to go into the city and eat the Bread of Life/Tree of Life, they HAVE to enter by one of the 12 tribes, through a gate labelled as such. Again a clear Two House message in Revelations. Revelations 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. A Sod level teaching says that only when we embrace our Israelite heritage, and start acting and believing like true Israel, in keeping the Instructions/Torah given to us long ago, will we then be healed, unified, and one Stick in the Masters Hand - Ezekiel 37
