The Gathering
-Restoration of Israel-
Introduction Part 1 | Part 2
The previous section was focused on what True Israel is and the purpose thereof.
Now, in this section we will discuss the the historical attempts to restore Israel.
---
The restoration of Israel is an important theme echoed throughout the promises of scripture.
But many different ideas surround what exactly that means.
For some, the the reorganization of the Nation-State of Israel in 1948 fulfilled that restoration.
For others, it's still yet to come when the descendants of Jacob find the Messiah as their Saviour.
In the previous study, we looked at who True Israel really is.
And with the correct definition of True Israel, we can now approach the question:
What does it mean to gather in and restore the lost sheep of Israel back into the covenant?
Anokeesed, as a tender, loving Father, always worries about and desires that His lost wayward children be rescued and returned to Him.
In the temporal world, in the first couple of generations, when Cain, or Kenneh, killed his brother Matteniah or Abel with sorcery, the heart of Anokeesed was grieved,
because in that instance, two children were lost to Him.
At His death, Matteniah was resurrected and volunteered to abide as a guardian angel, with his brother—the one who slew him, so that maybe he could bring him back to the light of truth.
And that was the very first act of reclaiming the lost, and reaching out to the wicked.
And there were many who ended up in the places of the wicked who were either lured there, tempted to be there, or were captured, carried away and enslaved.
And as the righteous gathered into the City of Enoch, known in ancient times as Ma'een (Maween)—which culture would be represented by Israel after the flood, Anokeesed sent many, like Amazyadad, to rescue all those who would repent and who could love Anokeesed,
from amongst the wicked.
Meanwhile, destruction was going to come to the Valleys of Heliah with the Great Flood.
And Anokeesed desired that all who might repent would be rescued,
and not perish in the coming destruction and judgment that would come upon the wicked.
And so, Anokeesed sent His spirits sent Amazyadad and his band of strong men,
who would seek out to find and rescue as many as would choose to repent.
Noah built an ark, so that those who were escaping would have a place of refuge as they fled from the destruction of the world of the wicked.
And all these are examples of the Father of Lovingkindness seeking out, gathering the lost and reclaiming those who found themselves, through their own sins or the sins of others, to be wayward and lost and outside of the covenant.
This love and compassion for the lost is a hallmark of the righteous,
who pattern themselves after the gentle loving-kindness of their Father Anokeesed.
After the flood, the culture of ancient righteousness was entrusted with to family of Abraham.
And as well as Jacob—with his sons, he longed that the ones who had not followed The Way of Truth & Righteousness and who were filled with the spirit of contention—He desired that they might repent, and he was patient with them.
And when he did his grand ceremony, building Jeshurun into all creation, he used Simeon, Levi, and Gad with his other sons, as the elements of righteousness before his altar in relation to the gifts of Jeshurun.
But he couldn't use Dan.
But in the course of time, Simeon and Levi fell into the waywardness of violence, and
they killed Shechem and made up lies that he had molested their sister Dinah.
And they brought dishonor upon the house of Israel,
because they rejected the ways of peace.
And this rejection of the Covenant of Abraham—the covenant of peace and love—is the dividing mark between those who walk in The Way of True Israel, who walk in the covenant,
and those who are wayward and lost—who claim the heritage of Israel, but reject the covenant, and therefore fall outside of the blessings of the covenant.
Then Jacob, on his deathbed, had to tell Simeon and Levi, because of their violent and cruel nature, that they would be removed from Israel and have no leadership in Israel,
and would not count their inheritance among the house of Israel.
And thus, four sons and two daughters had already departed and wandered off from the Covenant of Abraham, and therefore not counted among those of True Israel.
And this was a grievous thing.
It's important to understand when we talk about "Levites" what it means.
It doesn't mean literal descendants of Levi, although there have been literal descendants of Levi, like Kohath and Aaron among others.
But what it means, is that it refers to those who supported the position of Levi, who rejected the covenant of Abraham -- the covenant of peace and gentleness; those who are violent, those who are unfeeling, those who support blood sacrifice, those who support taking things by force, those who seek after the satisfaction possessions, those who reject the lovingkindness of Anokeesed -- all these are reckoned as "Levites."
And so the Levites -- the wayward of Israel, are those that claim the covenant for themselves and yet do not walk in accordance with it.
And so, when we talk about wayward Israel, we could substitute that with the term "Levite" to refer to that, and them there's another term used and it refers to Ephraim, "the Ephraimites."
And that refers to all those who who join themselves to the covenant.
Ephraim was a son of Joseph, and he had a Gentile mother.
Ephraim is the name given to the Northern Kingdom of Samaria, and Ephraim is the name given to the restoration of The Way of Jeshurun with Ben Elim (Goker Harim III) and Joseph Smith before him. It refers to these people who join themselves to the covenant of Abraham and who have been grafted into True Israel, and these are known as the tribe of Ephraim
And both the "Levites" and "Ephraimites" are spiritual designations, just as Israel is a spiritual designation of the quality of a person in how they walk, how they choose, and their exercise of agency.
And if we're to make a distinction between for how we can differentiate the wayward of Israel versus just an ignorant person -- a Gentile, how do we classify that?
A Gentile is one who is ignorant of the covenant, who doesn't share the history, that doesn't have that connection to Israel, and they're just going about their life as best as they see fit.
They are separate from the culture and mindset of the covenant.
That's remarkably different to those who are connected to the covenant, but have rejected who Anokeesed is, and they have embraced the corrupted version of the covenant.
And so we can think of many people today, who may follow after the Torah and the vestiges of the Levitical Priesthood, and a typical example of this today, would be the State of Israel with its emphasis on being a heavily militarized nation constantly at war and conflict.
That is another example of people who have claimed a covenant relationship with God,
but have rejected completely the covenant of Abraham, either knowingly or through their ignorance.
And this can include other people around the world, different groups who have claimed Hebrew heritage and follow after the Levitical Torah, they claim this covenant but they follow after the corruptions of the Levites.
And in many ways, this would also include those Christians who also follow after the corruptions of the Levites, who support war and violence and believe that the Most High is a God of wrath and that God can help them smite their enemies. Also having an emphasis on blood sacrifice, much the same as the Levites of old, all-be-it in their Christian belief that they are saved by the shedding of the blood of the Messiah, or that they may reckon that they are God's chosen covenant people and as such, they're superior to others and their God favors them above others.
And the belief that one doesn't have to or cannot know God for themself, but have an intermediary who does it for them, alienating one from having a relationship with Anokeesed.
Those are still the same corruptions, and all who embrace these corruptions could be considered to be wayward Israel.
We see this illustrated also in the Book of Remembrance of Moses Chapter 17, when the Lord calls the the people who rejected the ministry of Joseph Smith Jr., He calls them "the drunkards of Ephraim" because they've turned away and rejected the message brought forth through the Records of the Nephites.
So, although some may claim the heritage of the covenant, but because they reject the truth, they put themselves in the situation to be subject to the calamities and consequences that come from their corruptions.
And there are many opportunities restoration every time the flames of Jeshurun are lit throughout history, presenting a major opportunity for the wayward to repent.
And so, with Moses in the second flame of Jeshurun, there was opportunity for the wayward to repent, and they were called to repentance in the light of truth from the visions of Urim shown forth with the Book of the Law of Jeshurun, yet the wayward rejected it.
The wayward prospered and grew until after they rejected the ministry of Jonah and others.
At that time, the Ark of the covenant was removed from the land.
And the nation of Israel fell under the darkness and perversions of Solomon and wayward the other wayward Kings after him, with all manner of sorcery and wickedness.
And at the time of young Josiah, the third flame of Jeshurun was lit, and the truth of the Book of the Law of Jeshurun was revealed again to the people.
And so it came to wayward Israel, and some repented to follow after it, with Jeremiah and Ezekiel and Zadok, and these became the Essenes of their time, and they became True Israel once again.
Yet many others rejected Jeshurun still, and clung instead to their wayward traditions, and they even codified the Levitical law under Ezra, and with the Hasmoneans such that the identity of True Israel was once again jeopardized.
And Motsah the Lamb (the Messiah), in His earthly ministry, set His hand also to minister to and try to recover the lost (wayward) sheep of Israel.
He said, "I am not sent but to the lost sheep of Israel."
(Matthew 15:24)
That's why He didn't just minister to the Essenes, also called the Nazarenes and those who loved Him, but He took the Living Water (Reproval, Repentance and Forgiveness) to the Temple Priesthood, to the high priest and the Scribes and the Pharisees, to bring the truth and the love and the light of Anokeesed to the wayward and the Levites.
And even after His crucifixion, the Ekklesia or Church continued in this truth until the wicked had firmly cemented their rejection of the truth, and the Lord then led the righteous out to the mountains to the north in the Caucasus region, and then the Romans destroyed those Israelites who still remained in the province of Judea, together with their famed Temple.
And for the lighting again of the fourth flame with Ben Elim (Goker Harim III), through the light of Book of Remembrance, we are now witnessing once again the attempt to recover the wayward and lost.
And there are many from all around the world who become True Israel, by embracing the truth. Thousands of people are acquiring the Book of Remembrance and coming to love and cherish the light it presents to them, and learning about the truth of Anokeesed.
They are coming home, and they are becoming True Israel.
These are they whom the Lord is bringing to the Book of the Law of Jeshurun.
But there are still yet many, who will cling to the corruptions of Aaron and the Levites.
In the Book of Remembrance - 1st Achee Chapter 5, starting in verse 36 is a very poignant description of how the Lord feels about the lost and the wayward of Israel,
and those who had opportunity to choose the truth.
And this is a big part of the dynamic.
Where did the truth come?
Where were the prophets living?
Where did all the light from Urim, come to?
It came to Israel.
A Mongolian Yak-herder didn't have this luxury, and didn't have this blessing.
It came to those where Messiah would be born as a baby.
And many rejected it.
But so much element of righteousness and so much ceremony was used on behalf of Israel that the consequences of their agency to either embrace it or reject it has a profound, lasting effect.
And their rejection of the true covenant of Abraham has had severe consequences.
And so, there's a reason why those who claim to be Israel and who strive to follow the Torah and all the traditions of Aaron are so singularly focused on their Hebrew identity, superiority, hatred and prejudice, because it's the number one target of the adversary, and it's also the number one threat to those who are bringing about the end of Babylon.
And it's important to understand the broader dynamics of these end-times . . .
With the Tower of Babel, there was the attempt to create a sort of one-world government, and that failed due to the intervention of Melchizedek, who is also known as Shem.
Those people who were dispersed from the Tower of Babel, are what became all these independent, separate nations -- all vying for dominance.
And so Babylon is made of all these independent nations, all of them intent on fighting against Shabuwa, but they are all also competing with each other and in these end times, there are two widely different forces that want Babylon to end.
There are the righteous who desire Babylon to end for wickedness to be no more on the earth so Anokeesed may have His earth back.
But then, there are also those of the wicked who want Babylon to end, so they can establish their their own lying purposes for the whole earth, and redefine the orders of creation, and establish for themselves the power of God.
And we see this now between nationalists, globalists, oligarchs, between conservatives and liberals, and between those who want limited government and national sovereignty versus those who want global citizenship and global accountability, and all this one-world international sovereignty.
And in the middle of all this geo-political tension, is the State of Israel.
The State of Israel today established by those of the followers of the Levites who follow in the same corruption of resorting to the use of weapons in combat and war, with violence and bloodshed; as a means to have security, is the number one obstacle in the way of those who want a one-world government, since the State of Israel is fiercely nationalistic.
And those who are similar, even if they aren't an Israeli, but they share those same tendencies are also hated, and they push back. You see these kinds of people online, and they proudly show who they are and their heritage, pushing back against government interference, pushing back against all manner of things.
And many fall into violence and in being severe in their prejudices and racism, just like the Levitical Israelites of old.
They are following into the same traps and pitfalls.
And so, for people who follow these things, violence and destructive forces are going to follow and accumulate in their midst, and that's why ever since the State of Israel became a nation state in 1948, all there's been is never-ending war and conflict.
And that's why there's this continual round of of contention and controversy and racial discrimination and prejudices that follow after so many Levitical Torah-pursuant groups.
And it's a tragedy that the people who claim the covenant have rejected the truth of the covenant, the covenant of peace and exchanged it for wickedness and violence and dominance over their fellows, as well as the accumulation and satisfaction of possessions.
And so, the sufferings and persecutions that come, are a witness that the religion of the wayward is not from Anokeesed, because built into the human heart is the understanding and deep yearning that true religion should bring peace and tranquility.
But now, those who claim the inheritance of Israel, but who reject the covenant of peace, will find violence and persecution to occupy them and be consumed with discord and contention and strife.
It's tragic, and these will not reject these vestiges of waywardness until they're forced to.
They will not openly turn to the god of their fathers until it's forced upon them by sorcery, and that's what the abomination of desolations is about, because the wicked, under one who is referred to sometimes as the Antichrist, but called Melchiresa by the Eerkodeshoi, will use the element of wickedness against the traditions and worship of wayward Israel.
And what that is going to do, is reveal to them who their father is . . . the one who was a liar and murderer from the beginning.
People often say, "Whenever two or three are gathered together in my name, there I will be in the midst of them."
Well, with the abomination of desolations, whenever two or three of them are gathered together in the character of their god, who is Semihazah -- Satan and he will come with a strong presence, bringing division and death and great contentions until it finally consumes and destroys their ability to worship and carry on the wayward traditions of their fathers.
And they'll be consumed with sorcery in their corrupted law and false traditions.
Much of the Levitical law is that it involves the use of the element of wickedness, and any form of blood sacrifice is the use of the element of wickedness.
And during this time of great wickedness and violence, though in the minority, there will be some who will turn to the Father of Lovingkindness, and cry out to Him.
Many will cling to the force of arms and die by the sword, and others will say that, "there's no God, for if there was a God, He wouldn't forsake them in the love of their traditions."
And many shall curse God, but also many shall send their cries out to Anokeesed.
And He will answer them, and the Book of the Law of Virtue -- the light of truth from the Book of Remembrance shall at last come to them out of obscurity.
And finally, the wayward who had been scattered a long time and suffered many tribulations and persecutions due to following their wicked traditions, will at last come home to Zion.
They shall come home in the Great Gathering, and the 23rd High Priest Community of the Order of Melchizedek under the ministry of Goker Harim IV, will be there to lovingly guide them home and bring them to the knowledge of the truth.
And finally, all their corruptions will be removed from them, and they'll be grafted into the tree of True Israel.

"Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed
. . .
Now we who have believed enter that rest
. . .
Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience . . .
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of Anokeesed; for anyone who enters Anokeesed's rest also rests from their works, just as Anokeesed did from his.
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following the example of disobedience.
(Hebrews 4:1-3, 6, 9-11)
