It’s Time to Talk About Who Are the People of the Bible
Daughters of the King: They’ve Been Lying to Us About Who We Truly Are and Our Place in Biblical Prophecy
So there’s a lot here that tenderly explores the hidden mysteries of His Word that are revealed to the friends of the Most High Yah (Amos 3:7, 1 Corinthians 2:10). That’s what this new series is all about. When He first drew me away from yet another series (as He is prone to do, I’ve discovered >.>), there was an urgency to this word He’s given me that was familiar yet… new. I knew I would never move into anything else until I broke this down for you, my friend, as it was heavy on me and a weight I just couldn’t shake, and… well? To be honest? It was one I was curious about too. Because when I began studying? It just blosssommmeedd into something far more than I’d anticipated — Yahuah’s signature move.
For Part I of this series, which the Lord has titled “The Ezekiel Project,” I’m breaking down the mystery of the revelation of how to discern who the House of Israel and Judah are. Lemme just tell you this at the beginning: it’s not about us. I really wanna put this out there because this isn’t really about having some sort of apologetics template for Israelite women. It’s not. This is really gonna be about how the Spirit of Revelation settled on me and took me through the book of Ezekiel, showing me that to distinguish who the apple of our Elohim’s eye is (Zechariah 2:8) is to know what time it is and to fully understand why Yahusha must come back and complete His work.
In understanding who Israel and Judah are, the Hebrews, you’ll see the unique relationship Yahuah Elohim has with us is still playing out in real time. That biblical prophecy is at work today, that blessings and cursings are in effect upon us, and that the revelation of Yahusha HaMashiach is revealed through His Word. His nature, His character, everything He said He came to do makes all the more sense when you see Him in relationship with His people. This is important. And it’s important to not be deceived in this arena because God’s character is on display as an example to Gentiles and other nations when you can acknowledge how He interacts with the blood heirs (not the Gentiles grafted in) of the promise.
Let’s dive in.

So to start, the basic fact that it’s all in Ezekiel should not be astonishing if you’ve read it. If you were brought up under Catholic or Protestant Western doctrine, chances are you haven’t. “The Old Testament is passed away because of Christ,” we’re told. (Not true, HA!) It’s an old covenant done away with that doesn’t apply to us because we’re Gentiles, we’re told. Only the New Testament and its covenant are of any importance. And we believe this deception because it’s passed down like tradition in western societies that don’t read their bibles for themselves and depend on theology majors with degrees from institutions hell bent on concealing the truth about our Yah and His relationship with His people. And why do they do this? Why have they conditioned us to warm pews and gobble up their doctrine instead of seeking out the Word of Truth for ourselves? Well? (Besides the obvious control) Because the powers that be that run these institutions are typically not the main character in the story, but the one He hates.
Let’s come back to that.
1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
3 Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Ezekiel 4:1-8
In our founding text above, we see (I’m gonna be breaking this down line by line so grab your bibles and a good cuppa because we’re going innnnnnn! ◡̈) Ezekiel is being instructed to grab a tile that will represent Jerusalem. He’s being instructed to do this by the main character of the text: The Most High. Cause, let me be clear: it’s not us.
So when you take that into consideration, you can look in the Strong’s Concordance and find that the word “tile” represents brick, namely, “a brick (from the whiteness of the clay):—(altar of) brick, tile.” In many instances, Yah talks about His expectation of the Hebrews, like in Isaiah 64:8, where the prophet expresses his understanding that we (being His people) are molded and shaped by Him. So you have the main character and then what the main character is primarily focused on throughout the Bible: us. His people. The Hebrews. Stay with me.
Clay, going back to definition of the word “tile” represents us. And with clay, you can have a piece of clay and create, for example, a bowl or a cup. Same clay, two different purposes and names. Names have meaning, my friend, and they tell you what something is, what it does, and often (when you start really dissecting the Word using definitions) where it belongs. Stay with me.
So look, now in Jeremiah 18:1-2 AMP, you see yet again another prophet getting a revelation of clay in relationship to Yah… but it’s in verses 4-6 (and honestly, allll the way to verse 12) that we see Yah tells us clearly, particularly in Jeremiah 18:4 AMP, that the clay vessel was spoiled because of His doing. Remember: the clay represents us. So you have this clay in Ezekiel 4:1-8 that’s done Yahweh dirty, and is now going to bear the consequences of that iniquity by being spoiled by its enemies. And Jeremiah 18 says it’s Yah who is going to lead them to surrounding said clay. You still with me?
Both Jeremiah and Ezekiel warn of coming disaster, but it’s the Hebrew experience in Egypt that gives context of what that could look like. In the book of Jasher, for example, Jasher 77:12-20, we see a bondage so heavy that in the building of the nation of Israel, if they couldn’t keep up with the outrageous quota of bricks imposed upon them, their babies were taken from them and actually placed in the walls of monuments and buildings instead of said bricks. Read:
12 At that time the task-masters of Pharaoh ordered the officers of the children of Israel according to the command of Pharaoh, saying,
13 Thus says Pharaoh, Do your work each day, and finish your task, and observe the daily measure of bricks; diminish not anything.
14 And it shall come to pass that if you are deficient in your daily bricks, I will put your young children in their stead.
15 And the task-masters of Egypt did so in those days as Pharaoh had ordered them.
16 And whenever any deficiency was found in the children of Israel's measure of their daily bricks, the task-masters of Pharaoh would go to the wives of the children of Israel and take infants of the children of Israel to the number of bricks deficient, they would take them by force from their mother's laps, and put them in the building instead of the bricks;
17 Whilst their fathers and mothers were crying over them and weeping when they heard the weeping voices of their infants in the wall of the building.
18 And the task-masters prevailed over Israel, that the Israelites should place their children in the building, so that a man placed his son in the wall and put mortar over him, whilst his eyes wept over him, and his tears ran down upon his child.
19 And the task-masters of Egypt did so to the babes of Israel for many days, and no one pitied or had compassion over the babes of the children of Israel.
20 And the number of all the children killed in the building was two hundred and seventy, some whom they had built upon instead of the bricks which had been left deficient by their fathers, and some whom they had drawn out dead from the building.
Horrible, I know.
These babes were used just like clay, and even though the Hebrews had this history (as Ezekiel and Jeremiah lived lonnnggg after Moses was gone), it’s like they’d forgotten just how bad disobedience could be! With previous experiences with the wrath of Yah coming down on them for iniquity in their hearts, minds, and actions… why would you want to go through a horrific bondage like what our ancestors endured in Egypt?! Both prophets, Ezekiel and Jeremiah, testified against Israel and Judah that this sort of judgment, the judgment that we just read about in the Book of Jasher, would come upon them again. For the same thing that had gotten them under that judgment in Egypt.
And they didn’t listen.
RESOURCES FOR DEEPER STUDY OF THE WORD:
Dr. DeGruy Leary: Post Traumatic Slave Disorder
Now the documentaries and depictions linked above are not to talk specifically about slavery in America. I know you’re probably like, “what does the slave trade have to do with Ezekiel 4?” Just stay with me: I’ve linked resources throughout this post to give context to people who may be reading this bible study and not have the historical references that the Lord has allowed me to study over the last several years. We’re not all coming to this on the same page, so I want to give you access to some insightful documented resources that will allow you to grasp the revelation that I’m going to be sharing with you in this series. For more, just in case you’re ready to dive down that rabbit hole, you can also check out my full list of resources called, “So You’re Hebrew, Now What?” on Benable. Let’s continue.
So like I said, the documentaries listed under the deeper study is just to show empirical evidence of the treatment and hardships of Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Brazilian, and African Americans that look verrrrryyy familiar to the experiences of our Biblical Hebrew ancestors in Exodus and the Book of Jasher. Just like, as mentioned in Dr. DeGruy Leary’s excellent seminar Post Traumatic Slave Disorder, Thomas Jefferson said, “Blacks smelled bad and were physically unattractive, required less sleep, were dumb, cowardly and incapable of feeling grief. Advance it therefore as a suspicion only, that blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances are inferior to the whites of body and mind,” Exodus 1:15-22 paints a similar picture of this sinister mindset, with the describing of Hebrew women as hardier to the Pharaoh of that age (even if it was a lie developed by the midwives to save their lives.) This is also further depicted in American history with the use of African American women to further the study of gynecology… without the use of anesthesia. [1] Gruesome, I know.
I say all this to say that history, as foretold through the prophets, did in fact repeat itself, but this repetition did not occur with those of Ashkenazi “Jew” heritage.
We’re about to get bold so if you’re already offended by me saying that, just keep reading. I’ve got more coming.
THE BIBLE MAKES ONE THING CLEAR: THE PEOPLE INHABITING JERUSALEM ARE NOT WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE
I said what I said, and I can confidently say it again and again because the Most High Yah gives us another significant piece of information: the iron pan. In Ezekiel 4:2-3, we see that Israel and Judah’s enemies (figuratively speaking) have surrounded their dwelling place, Jerusalem. The Most High instructs Ezekiel to place an iron pan between him and the clay (clay representing the city), where His people are. This iron pan is important. When we remember Jeremiah 18 AMP, verses 17-18 are verrrryyy telling of what will be going down in this period. You’ll have the LORD turning His back on His people and not showing His face to them (Jeremiah 18:7 AMP is mirrored in Ezekiel 4:2). You’ll also have the prophets being tormented (as said in Jeremiah 18:18 AMP) for speaking the truth of what Yah has to say to His people. Jeremiah himself experiences this in his time, yes, but it’s also representative of what will be happening during the time our founding text talks about. How do we know this? Because Matthew 24:44-51 also speaks of this time, Yahusha Himself giving a warning to evil servants that will try to smite those doing the work of the Most High in this period. Everything is repetitive. Nothing is changing in the stories of what is going to be happening to His chosen people during this specific time period, through multiple sources (Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Jesus, etc.) And another key is that, at least in Jeremiah’s case, he prophesies that the true Law will be lost.
So listen, I’m gonna start to tie all this information I’m throwing at you together (as I always do), but this right here? This is one of the key and pivotal pieces of information in this end time prophecy because it plays into what Ezekiel further prophesies in Ezekiel 11. Let’s read this and begin to connect the dots:
14 And the word of the Lord came to me:
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far from the Lord; to us this land is given for a possession.’
16 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet I have been a sanctuary to them for a while in the countries where they have gone.’
17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’
18 And when they come there, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19 And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
20 that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 11:14-20 ESV
My friend, we gotta talk about this. We’ve got to allow ourselves to get suppperrrr uncomfortable from this point forward, because it’s going to challenge what we’ve been previously conditioned to believe, the revelation the Holy Spirit gave to me. It’s important, though, because it’s the truth. Because it’s relevant to getting to the meat and potatoes of Yah’s end time plan. This scripture right here, a little further down the road brings me back to my original focus, of understanding who Yah’s people truly are to better understand the Most High and His nature. His intentions with us. This scripture though? The one right above? Ezekiel 11? When you read it… I dunno… it just makes you ask this question, or at least it did for me: who are the people in Israel right now, then?
FALSE WESTERN IDEOLOGIES HAVE BLINDED US AND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY
Inhabitants means that it’s not Israel occupying Jerusalem in the end times. It’s not the Israelites. It’s not Judah. We don’t even have to touch on that right now, because we will get to it a little further but… regardless of who the people occupying Israel really are, there’s so much inescapable evidence in the Word of Yah that proves they’re not who they say they are. That’s the point. That’s what the Holy Spirit wants your gears turning on for the moment.
A little further down the road in this bible study, we’re gonna take a peek into their DNA, these inhabitants, and what it tells us about them. For now though, let’s get back to Ezekiel 11.
So, the portion we just laid out in the ESV sets the stage for me to break down the remainder of our founding text in this portion of the series, giving you a foundation of why it’s sinister we are not taught the Old and New Testaments together as a complete text. They’re not separate entities.
If we remember, the LORD exposed that the Siege of Jerusalem (that we touched a little bit on in our August 2024 Bible Reading Plan) and scattering of His people would be His doing (Jeremiah 18:17 AMP). Just one scripture up, the Lord claims, in verse 16, that the land will be desolate and the Gentiles will hiss and be astonished by the state of it (Jeremiah 18:16 AMP). We see this as something the Hebrews would’ve already understood because this was a part of the terms and conditions of their covenant with the Most High, as defined in Deuteronomy 28. This piece would’ve been nothing new to them when Ezekiel and Jeremiah spoke this against them.
The law had also already been lost to them before because of fornication with other gods (2 Kings 20) under King Josiah. And in the book of Nehemiah and Ezra, we see what it’s like for Jerusalem to be in disarray and occupied by foreigners, Gentiles, who would rather them not return to their inheritance.
Ezekiel 11:15 ESV says, “the whole house of Israel, all of them (this meaning the nations of Israel and Judah), are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far from the LORD; to us this land is given for a possession.’”
So three things:
In the last days, Jerusalem will be inhabited by individuals who are not Hebrew and will desire that the true Israelites do not return to the LORD and obey His Word. This is so that they can continue to stay in a land not their own. These people know Israel will be gathered back by the LORD, so deceiving the world into believing this already happened (14 May 1948) when it did not, would help their cause to remain in the land.
Two signs that will verify the Israelites have not been gathered back into Jerusalem are simple: For starters, there are still detestable things and abominations in the land. Our Most High Yah cannot stand high places or altars to other gods and yet the Islamic Dome of the Rock is standing strong on the Temple Mount and pride parades are currently held each year in Jerusalem [2]. This won’t happen when His people are gathered back.
Sign two: The hissing of the land is active while I type this. In Luke 21:20-24 Yahusha claims that before He returns, Jerusalem will be trodden down by Gentiles. Not only do we see Gentiles loooosssiinnnggg it with the war on Palestine happening right now, but in Luke 21:25-28, Christ explains that all hell is gonna break loose right after this, and then once the moon, sun, and earth are all out of control…
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:27-28
It’s impossible that the Ashkenazi Jews and the alleged restoration of Israel in 1948 are genuinely the people and nation of Israel coming back to the land. Impossible. Why? Because of Ezekiel 4, 11, Jeremiah 18, Matthew 27, and Luke 21 allll describe a gathering and redemption that comes with the Second Coming of Christ.
Get this: we’ve lied to. Not just about who the Ashkenazi and Sephardic “jews” are, but this lie also disrupts our ability to know exactly where we are in Yah’s prophetic timeline if we’re not awake, alert, and alive enough to search the scriptures for ourselves to seek out the truth (Proverbs 25:2, Philippians 2:12). If we’re just taking the world’s word for it, we will not grasp that all those scriptures mentioned above speak about a completely different thing. They’re not talking about the gathering of “inhabitants” in 1948. No, this is the rapture. This is armageddon. This is all pointing to the gathering of Yah’s people right before armageddon, where Yahusha comes down and deals with Gog and Magog, only to swiftly ushering us into the Millennial Reign. Into the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Breathe.
IT'S TIME, BELOVED, TO REALLY READ YOUR BIBLE FOR YOURSELF
I threw that curveball out there on purpose. I know it seems out of place to just toss the rapture into that conversation, but I need you to stew on that while we dive further into Ezekiel things. Part II and III will go a little more into the rapture aspect of it, but we’ve gotta cover some basic Bible before we head into that hornet’s nest. That being said.
So look: the Exodus story. Basic bible, like I said. A revelation the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaQodesh, laid on me is that the Exodus story is also a foreshadowing of the battle of armageddon and the second coming of Yahusha HaMashiach. It blew my MINNNDDD because I’d never looked at it like that! But lemme tell you, it all makes sense when you read your bible. The battle of Gog and Magog, drowning the Egyptians in the parted Red Sea. The 40 years in the wilderness? The Millennial Reign, spending time and getting intimacy and being taught by Yahusha HaMashiach. The crossing the river Jordan after all the murmurers have died off? Moving into eternity with Yah with the New Earth and New Jerusalem after the judgment. It’s all there! It’s all there! Joshua, who they cross over with, even shared the same name as Yahusha! I mean it’s so obvious!
The Holy Spirit is so cool BUT ANYWAY!
Back on track: Just like God hardened Pharaoh’s heart in Exodus 7:13, Yah says in Ezekiel 11:19 that our own stony hearts will be softened… meaning they were hard as rocks at some point. Meaning iniquity, once again. Meaning, it’s further proof that the stage that has been set for reprimanding our disobedience was also set up by the Most High, just like He set Pharaoh up! When we take that into consideration, we can revisit our founding text and take a look at how Yah instructs Ezekiel to lie down to experience the simulation of Israel and Judah’s judgment for their wandering from Him. We can look at it and realize that the consequences for our sin will be hard like it was back in Egypt, and that the period of our redemption will be just as spectacular as it was then as well. This is why Isaiah 52 goes into these details:
1 Awake, awake, Zion,
clothe yourself with strength!
Put on your garments of splendor,
Jerusalem, the holy city.
The uncircumcised and defiled
will not enter you again.2 Shake off your dust;
rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,
Daughter Zion, now a captive.3 For this is what the Lord says:
“You were sold for nothing,
and without money you will be redeemed.”Isaiah 52:1-3 NIV
One of the things you must realize about our biblical ancestors, during the time Yahusha walked the earth, is that they knew the scriptures. The “Old Testament” texts of Torah and the prophets? This is why Yahusha said so many times, “it is written…” He was bringing scripture to mind to show them He was fulfilling it!
They knew these texts! They had been waiting for Him… but they had been waiting for end time Jesus. It’s not as so many protestant (and when I say protestant, from here on out, know that I mean denominations in the western church, and the western sects like the calvinists, lutherans, baptists, pentecostals and so on) preachers make it out to be — that they were looking for a king robed in grandeur to suit their egos. Maybe for the Pharisees and Sadducees, absolutely! I can see it, for sure. But for many who studied the scriptures and followed Yahusha around, they had these expectations because, unlike so many of us today (whoops! >.>), they knew what was said of His coming from what was said of Him by prophets like David, Isaiah, Obadiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Micah, and all the other prophetic books we don’t read.
And also, they understood what the iron pan meant.
Yes, we’re back to the iron pan. I told you, it was important. Read:
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Daniel 2:40-44
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:3
These were people who knew what time it was. They were aware that under Roman occupation, they were also in what we call The Iron Age. Even the magi or wise men had used Daniel’s teachings (Daniel 7-9) to figure out when Yahusha was gonna be born. Remember that Daniel was set over all of the wise men in Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar?? (Daniel 2:48) Ever wonder why there were wise men walking around looking for our Messiah? Daniel is why. Just because Daniel died didn’t mean his influence in empires (as he lived through Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar, and Darius and Cyrus under Medo-Persia) just vanished. I’m pretty sure they kept the teachings of the head of the wise men from these empires, just like we keep the teachings of Plato or Socrates. These people back when Yahusha walked the earth were not primitive idiots! They had warning. Generations of warning! But what unfortunately happened is that they didn’t catch that one key element of the iron kingdom Daniel described.
You see, the iron kingdom described in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Daniel 2:33) was broken into two parts: the legs, and then the feet and toes, Jesus’s coming would also be divided into two parts. His first would be during the fourth kingdom’s prime (the legs), and the second coming would be during the era of the ten toes, the iron mixed with the clay.
MORE RESOURCES FOR DEEPER STUDY OF THE WORD:
Just like, in our founding text of Ezekiel 4:1-8, where it was prophesied that there would be a scattering of Yah’s people, the Roman Empire’s strength would also be divided. Jan Capa of School of Prophets did an ammaaazzziiinng breakdown of the ten toes and their respective tribes (which we still see most of today) and the revelation of the Daniel 9 timeline in his documentary, From Babylon to America: The Prophecy Movie. This is verrrryyyy important, and one study that I really suggest you take a look into as it gives a great deal of context into end time prophecy. Just saying.
Anyway, prophetic timeline and understanding what’s going to happen is one of the many reasons Yahusha spent so much time teaching His people while He was here. Yah doesn’t want us left in the dark. When you’re in a relationship, for example, it’s alienating to feel like you’re in the dark with your partner, isn’t it? It makes you nervous, anxious, suspicious, all of the above. We’re the Bride of Christ, my friend, and marriage is one of the deepest most intimate relationships you can experience in this life. So while He was here on earth the first time, He spent a great deal of it developing that intimacy by revealing the mysteries hidden in the words of the prophets. The Word of the Most High Yah.
This was important to them. This is why it led so many to believe, because that intimacy that the Messiah developed with His people while walking the earth spoke the same love language that Yah had demonstrated to His people throughout the earlier works in the Bible. It held Yah’s footprint. It was familiar and it was home. And it’s important to us because we can look back at the whole bible in its entirety and see that Christ’s nature reflected Yah’s Word. So hear me when I say that Him explaining what was going to happen in the end times in Matthew 24 was a big deal. Because for the listeners, they had already experienced what could have EASILY been received as the beginning of the end right before Yahusha was born.
So here’s context, because this comes from books that have been hidden from protestants, Catholics not so much. Look: to our Hebrew ancestors who were alive while Yahusha walked the earth, it seemed like the abomination that maketh desolate (Daniel 11:31) had already happened with Antiochus Epiphanes slaughtering a pig in the Holy Temple (1 Maccabees 1:10-64). Antiochus was right before the crumble of the Greek Empire (or the Bronze Era in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, Daniel 2:32) into the Roman Empire, and he was something else, look him up. He did a lot to oppress our ancestors and would’ve felt like the anti-christ. Just saying. So having experienced that, imagine just how surprised they must’ve been when, in Matthew 24, Christ told them to look for when this abomination spoken by Daniel takes place in the future (Matthew 24:25). That the end was not yet.
This would mean to them that though He was the one spoken about in Daniel 9:24-27, they were not in the end depicted in Daniel 11 and 12. Caesar wasn’t the anti-Christ spoken of in Daniel 11, nor was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. And just as prophesied in Daniel 2:44, this also meant Yah was still setting up His kingdom and the scattering of Ezekiel 4 was not yet done.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Matthew 5:18 NIV
Regardless of what it looked like, there would be no getting out of the judgment spoken against them in Ezekiel 4. Just because Christ had come didn’t mean Yahweh had changed His mind about their scattering and judgment. They weren’t quite at the end, even though it probably felt like it with the Herods and Roman occupation. Not everything in the Word had yet been fulfilled, so the warrior King they had been expecting wasn’t the Messiah they got in that period. They were getting the sacrificial lamb of Isaiah 9:6. They were getting a blessing they could receive to be a part of the kingdom of Yah that was still being prepared. So when you have that in mind, and you even take time to consider human nature and how people just… we don’t like chastisement, we don’t like consequences, some people will do ANYYYTHINNGG to get out of getting caught in their own webs. Think about that. Think about how people will lie, set other people up to take the fall, just all the things we’ll do not to get caught by our parents or by the law and then amplify that with being caught in sin and iniquity by the Most High Yah. Hmmmm… just me personally? I received from His Spirit that this added to their distress and led to the jews accusing Jesus of being a blasphemer so He would be crucified. Because they didn’t accept His judgment.
Mercifully, however, Yah gave us, in His Word, how long said judgment would be.
BIBLICAL PROPHECY IS ONE OF YAH'S SIGNATURE MOVES
Soooo as a whole, when considering all 12 tribes, you have a total of 430 years of sin against Yah to be chastised for. When you read Amos 3, you see Ezekiel 4:1-8 on display — there’s no escaping judgment for our wickedness, we could not walk with Yah without being held accountable for our many sins against Him because He’s a righteous Yah. And when we get to what exactly the sin is that our people were being held accountable for in Ezekiel 4, we see it spelled out in Amos 5. (And really, all throughout the Bible time and time again with our people because… yeah <.<)
25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.
Amos 5:25-27
How do we know that this isn’t about a previous time in our history? Simple: Amos 5:18 starts with giving His people a warning about the Day of the LORD, which is the Second Coming. The whole chapter is expounding on the fact that Yah is chastising His people so that they return to Him before the end. And the end? Right before the end? We’ll dive later into Amos 9 and Obadiah 1 in Part II of this series (and I won’t forget, I promise you), but for this portion of The Ezekiel Project, let’s focus on the 430 years. For right now.
A FEW MORE RESOURCES FOR DEEPER STUDY OF THE WORD:
There’s only one group of people, after the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE, who have endured the 430 years of bondage and trauma depicted in Ezekiel 4 and Deuteronomy 28. Well… almost completely. There’s still a little time left. But still, for 400 of those years, this group of people have endured it from a group of Gentiles that surrounded them and scattered them around the world... just as it was spoken of in Ezekiel and Deuteronomy, once again. And look: even when it comes to indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada, and the horrific events that occurred that are being exposed to this day, they were never scattered all over the world. Ashkenazi and Sephardic jews do not have a history where they wore yokes of iron around their necks (Deuteronomy 28:48, Isaiah 52:2) and were transported by ships into these countries where they would be enslaved (Deuteronomy 28:68). It just didn’t happen. And if it didn’t happen, sorry to break it to you: the biblical Hebrews of the Bible are just not you.
As many Hebrew Israelites are fully aware, Deuteronomy 28:15-68 are the consequences portion of the full terms and conditions of Yah’s Holy Covenant with His people. This section in particular emphasizes what will happen should we break or breech the legally binding contract we have with the Most High Yah, the one we created with Moshe in the wilderness (Exodus 20-24). Remembering that, remember we also spoke about, in Part II of How to Be Grateful in Hard Times, that the Word of Yah is also a legal document, meaning that it holds the legally binding code of conduct, privacy policy, all that jazz for citizens of the Kingdom of Yah. So while we have the judgment issued in Ezekiel 4 and Jeremiah 18 against Yahuah’s chosen people, the judgment is that they are guilty of disobedience to the Most High (Deuteronomy 28:45-46) and their sentencing includes everything detailed in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. Get. This.
In the Holocaust, the persecuted “jews” never left the continent of Europe. There was no need for ships to transport them. WWII lasted 6 years. Simply 6 and 1 day. Moreover, when you look at the words “buy you” in Deuteronomy 28:68, the word used here in the original Hebrew is “qānâ,” with one of its translations meaning “redeem” [3]. Ashkenazi and Sephardic jews were “redeemed” on 14 May 1948 when a conglomerate of nations came together to assist these groups in taking land and creating a nation state, by force mind you, which we now call the state of Israel [4]. These people do not fit the bill. There is one people who have never been redeemed, haven’t received reparations for any of the forced bondage they were placed under by strangers, and are still not back in their homeland. You can guess, just take a wild GUESS of the identity of the people of whom I speak.
When You Know Who True Israel Is, The Bible Opens Up With More Depth and Meaning
We’ve got to talk about 1619.
This discussion isn’t going to be just about the hardships experienced by a particular group of people living and residing in the United States. Let me make that clear before we continue. The Black Americans or African Americans in the United States of America are not the super Negroes of this story. The Hebrews of Ezekiel 4:1-8 were also scattered to the Caribbean, Brazil, England, and beyond. The portion, however, of Hebrews in the United States are just a key element used to identify who the Ashkenazi and Sephardic jews actually are. And that is the part that the Ruach HaQodesh realllllyy wants you to grasp in this bible study.
So, my friend, when we meet again in Part II of The Ezekiel Project, we’re going to take a deep dive into Obadiah 1, Joel 3, and Deuteronomy 28 to expose the false doctrine that has estranged soooo many people (His people in particular) from following the laws and commandments of the Most High Yah. And why? Why so estranged? Well? If you truly want my honesty? What was shown to me is that it’s very simple: Because they, His people, do not believe they are the individuals He gave those laws to in the first place, they don’t believe they apply to them. And we’re going to bust that myth wiiiiidddeee open when we meet again.
