Hosea 7:16 – They (Ephraim) return, but not to the most High (Audio)Dear Reader,Chapters 6 through 14 of the Book of Hosea gives Divine prophetic oracles concerning the time of the end of the great exile of Ephraim /Jacob in the “last days”, immediately before the Messianic Era. YHVH’s assessment of Ephraim in those last days is that “they “return” but not to Him. Here the Great Creator clearly states that Jacob-Ephraim, while he may think and argue that he is returning to YHVH, is not returning to Him, but is instead returning to something of his own choosing that is right in his own eyes (Deut 12:8; Prov 3:7; Isaiah 5:21) … Such a situation is a grave self-deception.Over the past 3 decades, whilst there has been a significant outpouring of the RUACH (Spirit) of the Most High across the globe calling His blood washed people to repent and “come out” of the Judeo-Christian religious polemic and its consequent worldviews and replacement “systematic theologies”.At the same time, in the last decade, while claim to return to the biblical “Hebraic Roots” of the Belief (faith), the contemporary “Hebraic Roots” and Messianic Jewish “Movements” chosen to return to an eclectic mixture of Rabbinical/ Karaite Judaism(s) roots and their associated worldviews, even in the face of a recent profound archeological revealing of the testimony of the Zadok priesthood that exposed the ancient origins of the Pharisee/ Rabbinic orthodoxies as a profaned way belonging to the ancient “sons of darkness” which has worked but to usurp the “Way” of YHVH and the “Teacher of Righteousness”, and the “Sons of Light”.If the “Hebrew Roots Movement” were truly a biblical repentant movement seeking biblical truth they would honestly and prayerfully consider the historical Zadok testimony and its revelations, which describes the dynamics of the religious conflict that present the context of the days of the first coming of Yahushua Messiah. But instead of seeking the proper historical context by which the Words of Yahushua concerning the scribes and Pharisees can be properly discerned, choosing rather to simply ignore the ancient historical testimony and to blindly continue with their own preferred way of ecumenical reunion with the orthodox Judaism(s), instead of profoundly repenting and continuing to seek revelation of the return to the authentic set-apart paths of YHVH in accordance with the call of Jeremiah 6:16 and demonstrated to all by the authentic Way of Yahushua Messiah, the Koqesh (H-ly) One Of Israel, the begotten of The Most High and biblical Israel’s only appointed Redeemer.This contemporary reality thus appears to fit precisely with Hosea’s tragic prophetic oracle of YHVH”s assessment of Jacob/Israel that even in the very last days of the exile, immediately preceding the great restoration and redemption, Ephraim still chooses to continue to feed on and follow after an east (Babylonian) wind (Hosea 12:1.Consequently YHVH declares that He is not very happy with Ephraim will send Yahushua Messiah to meet His people in the last days and (Hosea 11:10) He will roar and then Ephraim will trembleThe Hebrew word “tremble” is Strong’s 02729 “charad”, which means to tremble, quake, move about, be afraid, be startled, be terrified . This prophecy fits the Ezekiel 20: 30-44 prophecy of the process of redemption which indicates that Jacob/Israel/Ephraim will be meeting with Yahushua Messiah in the “wilderness of the Peoples” and brought under the authority of His rod, and that consequently He will rule over Ephraim with fury poured out (Ezekiel 20:33-34).Thus YHVH’s declaration in Hosea is “Therefore turn thou to they Elohiym: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy Elohiym continually” “Hosea 12:6, and again in Hosea 14:1 “ O Israel, return unto YHVH they Elohiym for thou ahs fallen by thy own iniquity” which in the Words of Yahushua is that the last generation should take care to be a wise and not a foolish virgin… , just as the prophetic injunction ends in Hosea with the following: Hosea 14: 7-9 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

Hebraic roots of the belief vs Hebraic Roots / Jewish Roots /Messianic religious “movement”

I would like to make a stand with the above article and post a written reply to the Condemnation of Hebrew Roots Teachers in an Open Letter by Mark Case of “The Father’s Fields Ministries,” 8-16-11.
Mr. Case’s Letter is found at this link: http://www.proclaimit.org/glc-open-letter.html
Re: Hebrew Roots –
What you are describing is the ‘Jewish Roots’ movement, no matter what rabbinicals call themselves. The Hebrew movement finds [their roots in] the Nazoreans, who found their roots in the Essenes. The Jewish Roots movement finds their origin in rabbinical Judaism and, penultimately, in Pharisaic Judaism. I am a Hebraic Roots teacher, and none of my colleagues [save one] would dare call themselves rabbis (meaning ‘great ones’), nor would they sit under anyone who considered themselves great, nor do they practice any Jewish customs, unless they were first practiced by Essenes or Nazoreans.
These days there exist many recently found artifacts to tell us more about Yahshua, his family, how they lived, and what the Nazoreans believed. It is obvious not only in Scripture, but in the ancient texts of His sect, nobody was called rabbi, nobody sacrificed animals, and nobody added to the Torah, nor did they take away from it (Mat 5:17, etc.). I [personally] am very sensitive, as are the less famous, non-Television Hebraic Roots teachers, to all Hebrew Roots teachers being equated with Jewish Roots teachers. There is a world of difference, and it is too bad that you got in with these would-be Jews rather than those of us who are more friendly to your ministry, we who were called heretics as Paul was in Acts 24:5 by the lawyers of the Pharisees (according to the Greek texts). -Jackson Snyder, Netzari Yahadim http://www.NEVY.us.
NOTE TO READERS: We can’t just let such stereotypical remarks as those of Mr. Case go anymore if we are to fulfill Yahweh’s plan of representing the Nazorean (Nazarene Israel) movement in these latter days. ‘Hebrew’ does not equal ‘Jewish,’ and neither this man nor the media group he is castigating should be given leave to let their public condemnation of our belief stand. WE are to be among those who stand. We should condemn both lawless Christianity and the traditions of Rabbinical Judaism, and judge ourselves as to whether we hold onto the worse beliefs and practices of both. If we do, we should stop calling ourselves Nazarenes and go back to the reverend or rabbinical systems that we left.
