Sh'ma.... it means more than we thought!

As some of you know... i had -what i think, is a very significant revelation this week...

I was praying for my family and the Harbour Light Ministries family and their families and - all of the 10 tribes ... and for “Judah”....  

crying out to YHWH... that the people wake up...

That Judah / the Jew will wake up and realize that they need Mashiach /Messiah

and that the Northern Kingdom...  Ephriam... also known as Isra’el.... wake up and recognize they need not just Mashiach, but that they need to walk in Torah.

and YHWH reminded me of the Sh’ma....  

Now remember ~~~ Y’shua, when asked what is the most important mitzvot...  He responded in ...

Mark 12: 28-32 cjb p 1279

Orthodox Jewish Bible  Mark 12:28-33  cjb p 1279And one of the sofrim approached and heard them debating, and seeing that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered them well, asked him, Which mitzvah is rishonah of all the mitzvot?”

29  Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered, 

Sh’ma Yisra’el Adonaoi Eloheinu Adonoi Echad is harishonah.

 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach ansserd, Sh’em Isra’el Adonaoi Iloheinue Adonaoi Echad is harishonah. 

30  Vahavta Es Adonoi Elohecha Bkhol L’vavcha es Adonoi Elohecha bkhol Lvavcha’ Uvechol.  Nafshecha uvechol  Modecha .  

31  And the shneyah is this, Vahavta Lrecha Kamcoch   There is not another mitzvah greater  than these.

32  And the Baal Torah said to him, Well spoken, Rabbi,  seems that you have said that Hashem is Echad (One) and Ein Od and there is no other accept Him.  

33 and to have ahavah for him bechol L’vavcha (with all your heart) and with all your strength DEVARIM and L’recha komocha (your neighbor as yourself.)

{and we know Y’shua is quoting 

D’varim /Deuteronomy 6:45 cjb p 204 and 

Vayikra 19:18 cjb p 132 }

**

Let’s look at ...

D’varim  Deuteronomy 6:4  cjb p 204  

“Sh’ma, Yisra’el!  Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad.”

“Hear Isra’el YHWH our Eloheinu /God, YHWH is one”

*

Listen to what we say…. … this is…

“ HEAR and DO… Isra’el….  “  in English…

There I was crying out to Yah for Isra’el to wake up and return…..

and YHWH asked me what i pray several times a day....

And He showed me… 

HE has had His people crying out for Isra’el to return… from the beginning!!  Per  the main prayer Judah has prayed for eternity!!!!...

So there we are 2-3 times a day… joining in with Judah – the Jews who have prayed this forever….

Calling for  Yisra’el to wake up and hear and  do what HE has called ALL of us = both kingdoms to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we know “Yisra’el” is the Northern Kingdom….. 

... and Yisra’el is also used as ALL HIS PEOPLE. ….

So…. There the Jews and those Northern Kingdom Messianics are… calling for both ends of the continuum to WAKE UP.

This is probably the most prayed prayer in all of time.

and what is this - but intercession.

We know that when i/we pray... we are interceding...

and we know that when we intercede... we are literally giving YHWH a “right”... or making a way for Him to operate in the lives of those we are praying for...

Did you hear this??

“Sh’ma Yisra’el .... is not just about declaring that YHWH is our God and that He is ONE....

It is also a prayer of intercession that Yisra’el - the Jews and Yisra’el the Northern Kingdom  - AKA christianity... WAKE UP... and RETURN/ TESHUVAH....   BUT it gives YHWH the RIGHT (in a world ruled by haSatan)..... to wake them up and call them back!!!

and if this prayer has been prayed more than any prayer in the world... 

which only makes sense... 

B/c Y’shua said in Mattityahu 15:24 cbj p 1243 

“He said, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’el.”

and here Judah has been praying at least 2 - but mostly 3 times daily for the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’el!!

Look what YHWH has set up !!  

Look what YHWH is doing!!!  

Over and over in the Tanakh and in the B’rit Chadasha... the focus is calling YHWH’s people back - to teshuvah - returning to YHWH... out of the world....

2 kingdoms handout

The Two Kingdoms of Yisra’el - separated in 931 BC

“If we don’t understand the 2 Kingdoms, then we don’t understand 7/8 ths of the Word/ Torah!”

• YHWH divorced them in Yirmeyahu/ Jeremiah 3:6,8.
• They are called “Out of Covenant people” = “gentile”, and “the lost sheep” (Yirmeyahu 50:6), and “those who are far off” (Yesha'Yahu/Isaiah 57:19, Hoshea 8:8-12)
• They have forgotten the name of YHWH (Yirmeyahu 23:27)
• They are the lost 10 tribes = Re’uven, Shim’on, Naftali, Zvulun, Yissakhar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Yosef = Ephrayim, and M’nasheh, and part of Benyamin.

• They never lost their identity.  They were punished but not divorced b/c of YHWH’s promise to David. (B’resheet/ Gen. 49:10).
• They are called - “those who are near” (Yesha’Yahu 57:19), and “those who are my people” (Hoshea 2:23) 
• They reject Y’shua as HaMashiach/ Messiah
• They are 2 tribes mainly - Judah, Levi and part of Benyamin.
• They are Jews today - (mostly Benyamin in Yisra’el)

Yechezk’el/ Ezekiel 34, 36 

Yechezk’el 37: 15-28 - Two sticks/ trees

The Good News:

D’varim/Deuteronomy 24:1-4 - husband can’t remarry his divorced, defiled wife.

Eph 1:9 - secret plan

Eph 2:13-19 

Those who are out of covenant can return and the BRIDE can be whole.
