THE REDEMPTION OF
YISRAEL-EPHRAÏM
Passover, 2018
Yashah Ben Yah'shua
Servant and Royal Emissary
The House of Davïd
APOSTOLIC ADDRESS
Beloved Countrymen: As the chosen Hebrew Yisraelite-aware living in this final phase of our affliction, we clearly see and bear witness before the world, that the latter-day reawakening of the lost sheep of the House of Yisrael foreseen by the ancient Hebrew prophets, is being fulfilled before our very eyes…
This blessed Pesach-Passover season, in 'The Year of Our LORD' 2018, represents an appointed time of unprecedented spiritual and political change. As the cultivated olive tree of the Commonwealth and the primary heirs of the Covenants, the true statesmen of Yisrael must now seize this moment; not to remove the leaven from our kitchens, but to replace the bloated and defiled doctrine of the hirelings with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
And so, my brethren, as we conclude our commemorations of the Passover and move forward, let us take this unprecedented opportunity, humbly and prayerfully, to reassess the state of the current holy nation. Clearly, at this stage of our sojourn, the prophetic types and shadows encoded in the Tabernacle of Mosheh are being revealed in the fullness of their original intent - as divine signs and examples for those of us upon whom the end of the world has come. So in light of this basic truth, and in recognition of our emerging national government, let the faithful shepherds of Yahushua now ratify the ancient prophetic call for the end-time new birth of the whole house of Yisrael. Sélah.
THE DIMONA COMMUNITY
My fellow patriots, let us begin with a fundamental reassessment of the most politically engaged Hebrew Yisraelite community in our lifetimes...
Despite its controversial presence in the "Middle East," The African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem, located in Dimona, Israel, represent a serious and significant contribution to the repatriation of Yisrael-Ephraïm. Officially designated by the U.S. Congress as 'The Miracle in the Desert;' like no other group of so-called blacks beyond the borders of America, 'The Village of Peace' is a self-governed community based on the principle of possessing all things in common.
From its inception some fifty-one years ago, this highly criticized community has demonstrated a form of governance administered without a formal political and liturgical distinction. And, this divine order has since been replicated in foreign Kingdom of YAH jurisdictions. The Dimona community has also established long-standing diplomatic ties with several key African nations. And in collaboration with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, founded by the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., 'KOY' has co-created joint Conflict Resolution Centers around the world...
But perhaps most significantly, many Kingdom families at Dimona and Arad have successfully demonstrated before the Western powers that Hebrew Yisraelite polygyny remains a legitimate nation-building strategy in the modern world; which represents a major breakthrough in restoring functionality to our deeply dysfunctional so-called 'African American' communities. Indeed.
Now - as we all know, many Yisraelites of all ethnicities believe that the so-called black Hebrew communities in the land are unlawful in the sight of Abba YAH. But the truth is, the often-well-intentioned discrediting of our people living in ha Eretz is based upon twisted deep-state eschatology, which has concluded that only Christ Himself will lead His saints into the Promised Land. And therefore, many say that the original Jewish and Yisraelite returns were premature.
So they say... But what did the ancient Hebrew prophets say?
The truth for all men, is that the powers-that-be are ordained of YAH. There is no community in the history of the world, be it good or evil, that has ever been established without the necessary consent and decree of Almighty YAH; nor without a specific purpose in the overall plan for His creation (Acts 17:26-27). And despite our outright rejection of secular "Zionism" from those who are not true Yisraelites by ethnicity, nor by true conversion, we must not err, my beloved brethren. The divinely ordained powers-that-be include the modern nations of Israel, Great Britain, and America. And like any and all Hebrew Yisraelite factions, while the Dimona community is not without error, its existence is certainly no mistake…
Let it be known and innerstood throughout all Yisrael, that according to the prophet Hoshea, the first wave of the new Exodus, which consisted of non-believing Yisrael-Ephraïm and his Gentile companions, was a logical reaction to the global persecution of Yisraelites in the twentieth century. And yet sadly, at this stage, the fiftieth or Jubilee year of the greater Hebrew Yisraelite Community dwelling in the land of Yisrael has come and gone without any tangible release of our indentured kinsmen into divine freedom and justice.
THE THEOLOGY OF EPHRAÏM
Sh'ma, Yisrael: Thanks to the transparency of the set-apart scriptures, the true statesmen and scholars of modern day Yisrael have access to a balanced profile of our ancient fathers. As a result, our research does not leave us discouraged with an illusion of absolute flawlessness, above and beyond our own capacity to achieve. And therefore, we are able to draw strength from the divine revelation; and in turn provide a pure, unleavened bread for the children of YAH. And so it must be with our research of current doctrines and traditions among our people.
Beloved brethren, while the Kingdom of Yisrael Community Network most certainly extols the many virtues of the beloved KOY - as faithful Hebrew statesmen, and like the ancient prophets before us, we must also address and seek to correct theological errors, cultural inaccuracies, and false teachings, both within the Dimona community and without.
To begin with, in gaining a clear innerstanding of the doctrine of the Community, we must remain ever mindful that Kefar Ha Shalom, The Village of Peace, was part of the first wave of the new Exodus, which concerned the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael; which consists of the original "Native Americans" - the supposed "African Americans" of the ten northern tribes of Yisrael who were relocated into Arzareth-America, following their bill of divorce from Abba YAH in 722 B.C. (Jer. 3:8).
Therefore, the revelation of Yahushua as the 'Kinsman Redeemer' clearly should not be expected to have informed their official doctrine or theology. Remember, brethren, many of the lost sheep are not lost from their identity. They are lost from their shepherd...
And most importantly, the doctrine of the community did not include the first-century eye-witness testimonies of our fathers, both secular and sacred, of the resurrected physical presence of Messiah Yahushua; and the fatally corrupt Levitical order which caused the northern tribes to fall into iniquity, being displaced by the restored family of Davïd (Ezek. 44:12).

THE DOCTRINE OF RAHBI BEN-AMMI
Now for most of us, it goes without saying that the doctrine of the Village of Peace was codified in the teachings of its chosen spiritual leader, the late Rahbi Ben-Ammi Ben Israel (may he rest in completeness). And therefore, in order to faithfully assess the theology and creed of the community at Dimona with the proper balance of justice and mercy, we must first reassess the foundational doctrine and guiding principle of their leader, Rahbi Ben-Ammi.
As we all know, the writings of Rahbi Ben-Ammi Ben Israel are widely known and readily available. The purpose of this address is not to review his vast theological legacy, but simply to identify the official doctrine and theology of the community he led; to the end that we may see the community in proper balance, and in righteous Kingdom perspective.
Without question, the guiding theological principle of the late Rahbi Ben-Ammi Ben Israel was based on Genesis 1:29. In that verse, we read that YAHUWAH Elohim has given man every vegetable that yields seed, and every tree whose fruit yields seed for food. No doubt, through his theorizing on the doctrine of 'original intent,' the Rahbi concluded that plants, rather than animals, contain the proper minerals and trace elements from the dust of the earth required to sustain life. And therefore, the Rahbi believed and professed that man must return to Eden - to exclusively drawing from the dust of the earth to obtain and maintain eternal life.
The assumed foundational doctrine Rahbi Ben-Ammi derived from that passage in Genesis and planted among the saints is clear; that the way to eternal life is through proper nourishing of the flesh. And yet, Abba YAH Himself has declared from the beginning that man shall eat bread, and then return to the same ground he was taken from. Apart from the souls alive at the hour of the second resurrection - from the dust we have come, and to the dust we shall return; for the mouth of Almighty YAH has spoken it.
Brethren, with all due honor and respect to Rahbi Ben-Ammi - and much honor and respect is due - it is a natural man who offers a natural solution to a spiritual problem.
Hear, O Holy Nation, and understand: In Spirit and in Truth, the Garden of Eden was not the Kingdom of Heaven. Behold, saints, the absence of sin alone is not the presence of holiness. Innocence is not virtue. But for all of us who are called to His Eternal glory, and are tried in the fiery furnace of affliction; surely our Paradise is at hand...
O House of Ephraïm, Hear the Word of YAH: The hour has fully come to arise from the dust of the earth, and to live in His sight. And the eternal, immutable truth as it is written, is that the Holy Spirit makes alive, and the flesh profits nothing; for it cannot inherit the Kingdom of YAH.
Nevertheless, even as our father Davïd honored Sha'ul as YAH's anointed, even in the King's rebellion and madness, and even beyond his transition; so must we honor such a one who was the choice of the people; and whom YAH, in His infinite wisdom, elected to appoint over His flock in the state of Israel until the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Sélah.
THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE KINGDOM
Now concerning the proper nourishment that produces eternal life: Our Redeemer declared, "Unless you eat my flesh, and drink my blood, you have no life in you." And again, as He told the multitudes He fed with miraculous bodily provision, it is His words - not His loaves and fishes - that are Spirit and Life. Indeed. And since the very manna that descended from heaven failed to produce everlasting life in our ancient fathers; surely, the mandatory vegan meals prepared by our own hands have no power to deliver us in the day of our calamity...
Hear, O House of Yisrael: In the ultimate political irony, those among you who would continue to theocratize and marginalize the New Covenant would attempt to redeem you without the very Will and Testament of the eternal Kingdom prophesied to come (Jer. 31:31-34, Heb. 8:7-10). Sélah.
For example, it is written in the New Covenant, of the Spirit speaking expressly that in the latter days, seducing spirits would deliver the foreign doctrines of forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats to the saints of YAH. And surely, brethren, in forbidding marriage among its Constantinian priesthood, the 'Roman Catholic Church' for example, is now receiving the fruit of that doctrine in utter disgrace; with their unspeakable acts of pederasty being completely exposed for all the world to see.
Now in truth, O Yisrael, there is certainly nothing wrong with a man practicing veganism as unto YAH. And under certain instances, and for a number of legitimate reasons, it may even be preferable. But brethren, we must never overrule what the Torah has rendered lawful - as if our judges somehow have the power to amend the immutable Law of Almighty YAH… YAH forbid! In fact, according to Ezekiel's vision, in the new House, which is very soon to come, the offering of animal sacrifices, and the serving of the flesh thereof to the saints by the Priestly Orders of Melchizedek and Tzadók, will occur with great celebration, and unparalleled abundance! (See Ezek., Chapters 40-48). So then, has Abba YAH commanded His people to commit dietary genocide in the name of worshiping Him in the restored Jerusalem?
Sadly, the Torah abstract of salvation through the flesh, through a man-made commandment to abstain from meats, is now receiving its bitter fruit as well, with the continuing geopolitical and socio-economic deprivation of our communities in the Promised Land; and with the very transition of Rahbi Ben-Ammi Ben Israel himself at the tender age of seventy-five years.
My beloved children, come, and let us reason together, says YAHUWAH. Clearly, these lethal doctrines of the last days only serve to reinforce the ultimate lie from the father of lies - that sex and food, rather than adultery and greed, represent the original sin. It is written that the Moedim given to our fathers at Mount Sinai are not the Feasts of Mosheh, they are the Feasts of Abba YAH. And surely, the Moedim of YAHUWAH Elohim are perpetual ordinances, to be continued throughout our generations - including the partaking of animal flesh in it is opening Convocation. Sélah.
And thus, even the Appointed Feasts themselves bear witness against the unlawful commandment to abstain from meats imposed by the non-Christian Rahbi Ben Ammi.
Behold, Yisrael: Hear the word of YAH. According to Ha Mashiakh, the prophesied 'Kingdom of YAH' exists within us. For Almighty YAHUWAH is Melekh Ha Olam - the King of the Universe. And as Christ taught us, YAH's Kingdom comes without observation! But the coming Kingdom of Yisrael is the external foundation of a global Commonwealth; an everlasting dominion, destined to rule the nations of the earth in righteousness and in truth. And to be sure, without exception, the Kingdom of YAH must dwell within the hearts and minds of us all...
TRANSITION
Finally, my brethren, under the great Lawgiver Mosheh, our ancient fathers experienced the heady and yet daunting prospects of their new-found freedom and justice in YAH. Under Mosheh’s divinely ordained leadership, the new nation received her commandments, statutes and ordinances - her Laws, the Mitzvot, and the initial body of her instructions, the Torah. But inevitably, the hour came when the great leader's presence was no longer in their midst. At that point, the national grief of our fathers was so great that YAHUWAH our GOD had to rouse us out of our depression by declaring, "Mosheh my servant is dead." 'I AM' - the preincarnate Christ - had to reassure our fathers that just as He was with Mosheh, so He would be with Yahushua-Joshua, the faithful witness from the original Exodus generation!
Now, Joshua generation, arise and shine, for your light has come… And the glory of YAH is rising upon you!
Behold, O Ephraïm: According to the testimony of the prophets, it was not Melekh Shelomo's sin that divided the ancient Kingdom. Again, according to Ezekiel's vision of the restored Yerushalayim, it was the Levites who stood before the people and ministered unto them before their idols, that caused the whole house of Yisrael to fall into iniquity.
It is written, "Unless YAHUWAH builds the house, they labor in vain that build it." My brethren, we must no longer reject our faithful fathers of first-century Yisrael, under the New Covenant of the Royal family of Davïd - the righteous Torah-observant pioneers who witnessed the final chapter of lawlessness through the Levitical Priesthood; and who ushered in and governed the restoration of the Tabernacle of Davïd and the Eternal Royal Priestly Order of Melchizedek; the divine key to fully restoring the Kingdom to Yisrael.
A ROYAL DECREE
Let There Be No Doubt, Throughout The Length and Breadth of The Kingdom of Yisrael, In This Hour of Our Deliverance, That Our YAH-Appointed Redeemer of Yisrael, Yahushua Ben YAHUWAH Ha Melekh-Cohane, The Firstborn From The Dead, Has Once Declared For The Ages, and Is Now Declaring In The Midst of The Great Congregation, According To The Power Delegated To Him In Almighty YAH Over The Physical Universe, and Over Planet Earth and All They Who Dwell Thereupon; That The Flesh of Man Profits Nothing, But Rather, It Is The Indwelling Holy Spirit of Almighty YAH That Gives Life. Even So, Ahmen.
SUMMATION
Surely, as Hebrew Yisraelites, we innerstand that as the descendants of Abraham we are Hebrews. And as the descendants of Jacob we are Yisraelites. But who are we, brethren, as the descendants of Isaac? The answer to this question, O Ephraïm, is the key to the awakening of a sleeping giant; of an exceedingly great army, predestined to shine as the stars for all eternity…
Take heart, you Hebrews. Be strong now, and of good courage... For truly, the hour has come when the whole house of Yisrael will move beyond the rudiments of Mosheh, and into the greater purpose of the Holy Moedim! Surely the hour has come for the lost sheep of Yisrael to know the Most High not just as their GOD, but as their Father… Surely the hour has come for all Yisrael to ratify a nation-wide United Kingdom Declaration of Freedom and Justice!
Behold, O wayward Yosef-Ephraïm - Hear the Word of YAH: "I will betroth you to Me, forever. Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice. In loving kindness, and in tender mercy. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know YAHUWAH" (Hos. 2:19-20). Even so, Ahmen.
May the Grace, Mercy, and Divine Completeness of Almighty YAH be with you all. ECHAD!
IT’S KINGDOM TIME.
