Hi there folks, This feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) I feel like a bird released. This is just a quick personal update on my circumstances. Tabernacles are meant for more than one. And so this feast of joy is particularly meaningful. In this personal article I wish to talk about our marriage and feast of joy while still struggling with our post Christian Babylonian Anti Christ government that has overturned the very definition of marriage yet expects us to conform to it's wickedness, to it's beastial image. A Sukkah for one - The Lonely Vigil It's been a long wait, a lonely vigil. And long after hope had left my heart, the Lord has remembered me. I feel like those that returned to Zion because I too have been in a sort of captivity... Psalms 126:1 A Song of degrees. I am not so much a captive in a foreign land, although Australia did begin as a penal colony and I am originally from New Zealand. And on a deeper level my soul and blood are Israelite through and through. And on a higher level I am part of the Heavenly Mt Zion (Hebrews 12). So I am a stranger in a strange land on many levels. I am estranged from the earthly and heavenly Mt Zion's. But the captivity I have most keenly felt is one that goes into the depth of me in terms of the image of God. For He made Man in His image, male and female. Yet I have been in exile on this earth without my other half for so long it has hurt until I became numb to it all. So although my body and soul have been in exile from the land of our fathers, and although my spirit is in exile from my home in heaven, there is another exile I too have experienced, another sort of imprisonment -I have been rather a prisoner of hope. A hope that had faded a long time ago. Why? because I had hoped and prayed for a wife from the Lord, and despite seeing His hand in every other way I saw that he persistently did not answer this request. I have been exiled from the possibility of having a companion. Now I feel like I am dreaming. I come home from work and there is someone other than my cat waiting for me. I wake up and I am not alone. I have just gotten married. I am 50 years old - it must be my Jubilee. My wife is 33, earthy like me, she is humble of heart and very good company. I struck Gold and I wasn't even looking for Silver. I had long since given up on finding someone, feeling like God would take care of every other part of my life except that one. I was resigned to live alone, except for Leon my cat and the neighbours dog named Hunter. Jokingly I told my wife it is just the three of us, we already have a family, with Leon our first born. Sure he is a cat but a pet can be good company and I would recommend them, they have little souls, not eternal necessarily but they have little hearts and show affection. I jokingly call cats and dogs little people with fur. Leon may get a little less attention from me but he will get more from my wife and so he will still be spoiled (but never overfed -he is an efficient bunny hunter). So I guess I should share my wife's name. About Susanne (Hadassah) Brachmann My bride is from Germany, her name is Susanne (Brachmann) and she likes to be called Hadassah which is also a Hebrew name of course from the Book of Esther. She will be adding this as a middle name in the process of time, Susanne Hadassah Lindsay. She is from a believing Christian family and follows Torah. Initially Hadassah trained as a teacher gaining a Masters in Primary School teaching earned over 4.5 years in Erfurt University in Germany and Portsmouth University in England as an exchange student for 2 semesters. She found that teaching was not the right career for her and has retrained in massage therapy and aromatherapy (essential oils and so forth) spending 2 years study. On top of this she has just returned from Bad Elster, Saxony, Germany after completing 6 months of work training at the DEKIMED clinic. She very much enjoys the outdoors and nature and a natural organic way of life away from the big cities. So she suits me in this way also as I very much want to build my own home in the countryside, home-school our children and live off the land. She has visited Australia four times already, she likes the beaches and sunny days. We met on her fourth visit last year in December. There is a lot to tell right here, but that will have to wait. Susanne (Hadassah) Brachmann in Bad Elster, Saxony, Germany enjoying a springtime meal at an older christian couple's house. They were an encouragement to her while studying and working there. They are named Manfred (not in picture) & Ilona. They are with a friend named Bernd (next to Hadassah) and his wife (not in picture). The Wedding Our wedding was simple and low key and at home, part indoors and part outdoors. I gave a sermon on the meaning of the feast of Tabernacles. Then there was the Jewish custom of drinking of a betrothal cup of wine. The Shofar was sounded by John McDougall. Then we went outside for the signing of the Ketubah (Hebrew wedding contract), wedding vows and rings. Our wedding combines the Christian vows with a Hebrew Ketubah and other elements of a Jewish wedding including the 'Chuppah' wedding canopy. I am not incorporating Jewish customs into our marriage to try to be Jewish. I am doing it because we both agree that it is nice, combining elements of the christian and Jewish wedding customs that feel most biblical and relevant. We had not intended to break a glass as is Jewish custom. But we did so because it meant a lot to a certain someone... ...We broke a glass cup at the request of our Jewish matchmaker named Fay (without whom we would not have met). The breaking of the cup represents sorrow at the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and by extension, the destruction of the temple. I built a temporary structure that was appropriate for the time of the wedding. We had our wedding on Saturday the 29th September due to time constraints. It just so happens to be the feast of tabernacles (Hebrew: 'Sukkot') on the bible calendar, Leviticus 23. And so I built a little tabernacle ('Sukkah') - or my version of it with some Wattle trees that needed to be cut down. I think that they are called Wattle's because we ask "What'll we do with them". They grow fast like weeds and fall over in the wind. I managed to find just enough to make a little hut. We have been having a meal there every night. I cut reinforcing rods to size and drove them into the Wattle posts after drilling them with an auger bit. I cut down some palm tree branches for someone and solved their problem and used them for a roof. I got some free pallets covered with rough plywood and used it to line the walls and floor as you can see below. Amazing Grace Restaurant A sign of the times... ...an old church building turned into a restaurant. I liked the idea of getting married in a traditional church building with stained glass windows. Hadassah wanted it outdoors. I guess we both got what we wanted because we had our wedding reception meal at the 'Amazing Grace' Restaurant. It was good to eat together and have a laugh. Honeymoon Cottage We stayed in a lovely little cottage for the first three days of our honeymoon. My sister Wendy who lives in Cairns in far north Queensland purchased a little holiday cottage where we spent the first 3 days of our honeymoon. Thank you Wendy, it was very nice and we really enjoyed it and the beach nearby. Camping Honeymoon We spent our last 4 days camping on the beautiful Capel Sound camping area between Rye and Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula. We had a powered tent site which was wonderful. Hadassah wanted it warm so I purchased a fan heater so we were quite comfortable. I finally got a chance to use my gas cooker. We had everything we needed. I am writing this blog on the last full day (Friday) of our camping honey moon. Marriage Celebrants Here in Australia the person that marries you is called a celebrant. They can marry Muslims, Buddhists, Homosexuals, Pagans, Wiccans and even Christians. We are now married in the eyes of God but we still have to fill in forms in order for the state to be happy. This is the same Australian government that recognises gay marriage (and who knows what else in the future). We had to hunt around to find a marriage celebrant, the government sanctioned official that can officially marry us according to the state. We did this at the end of our honeymoon. We have to wait a month and meet again and sign some more forms with some witnesses and that is it for the civil state side of things. Thank goodness we found a real bible believing Christian to help us with this. Visa's & Our bondage in Babylon Having our marriage recognised by the state should be a mere formality. But much more troublesome is obtaining a Visa for my German Wife to stay here in Australia.
So the next step is that we have to apply for a 'Partnership Visa' and pay $7000 for the rubber stamp. But it is a not clear cut and it can be denied or overly bureaucratic and time consuming, taking years. In the meantime we have to leave Australia every 3 months to renew Hadassah's temporary tourist visa. Please pray that our Father in Heaven's will is done in all this. We will be shuttling back and forth like a yo-yo until this is sorted out. Personally I didn't want a celebrant, someone that I didn't know to officiate. In hindsight I should have organised the celebrant ahead of time to give us the government sanctioned marriage certificate. It takes one month to clear from the time you sit down and apply until the time we do the final signing. Again it's all just bureaucratic red tape and not too much of a big deal marriage wise. But the big deal is the 'Partnership Visa'. Most genuine bible believing Christians that have had something to do with marriage related issues see the time when the church will not be able to work with the government because it is completely Antichrist in it's world view. We are there already now. If Christians marry it will be considered bigoted and and if they make their vows before God it will be considered intolerant and hate speech. As if getting a wife from another country is not difficult enough for her. We have all of the Babylonian fetters and laws to deal with. One thing that all this immigration and marriage Visa issues comes through. We have almost completely lost our Christian freedoms in this country. God help us. The just shall live by faith. God bless you all. Praise the Lord ישוע יהוה, Rory & Hadassah

ATTENTION! *** THIS ARTICLE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION *** Is there a link between the Flat Earth Revolution and Zion's Awakening and Redemption? Isaiah 51:16 This Generation is due for a reminder of who God is... Revelation 3:14 2 Peter 3:3-7 Let's have a look at some scriptures that link the Lord as the creator of the heaven and earth with Zion (and Israel) and her redemption... Isaiah 45:17-22 Zion Earth Psalms 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Awake Zion Isaiah 52:1 -3 Atheism shall be undone by the regathering of Israel to Zion Atheists are fools that will be proven wrong with the ending of the captivity and the regathering of Israel to Zion. Psalms 14 The Emperors New Clothes and the inauguration of Babylon's New KingTrump doesn't care about what sissy's think. He's no cry baby. He likes to think big, build big and fight big. I actually like a lot of the things Trump says. I like some of the things he is currently doing. But I don't trust the man. Trump may talk apple pie but the leftists and anarchists may be right about his character. He may seem to reverse gears and move in the opposite direction to that of Obama. But I smell a rat with an ego as big as his towers. Hitler also got Germany moving, solved some problems, got industry humming, gave the ordinary working man hope. But the cost was the soul of Germany. Trump may be an agent of change, he may get things done, but he may also destroy the world and America in the process ('ORDO AB CHAO')... The following is a generalisation but I think this article is more for the men than the women. It's content is disturbing and deals with the outer world more than the inner one. But the outer world of politics and war is perhaps the mirror of the collective hearts of (rebellious) mankind. What is in the inner man of mankind is manifesting. And it's not good. What will the new president of the USA bring to the world in 2017? Has the good Lord brought in a more moderate family guy into the White House? Are the 8 long years of radical leftist Obama's administration finally being undone by a real American patriot? Surely Trump is a better person than godless Clinton? Has not Israel been given a true friend after all the hassle of the Obama years? It seems that they finally have someone to help them build Jerusalem and the settlements! Has God bought us more time? Is this part of the swing back to a more conservative and Christian America? Looking at the moral character of the man I believe the answer is a definite 'NO'!. I believe the moral and political descent into Chaos will accelerate this year, both in America and Europe. And Trumps purpose is to push the accelerator in the deterioration of foreign relations and tighten up security at home. He may use the deep chasm of America's left and right divide to bring in martial law due to the disorder of the anarchist left wing brigades. Using the middle American christian backlash to Obama to his advantage he could use the immigration issue to jump start the FEMA camps. So instead of the holiday camps at club FEMA run by the radical left it is run by the patriotic right - but it is in operation at last none the less, to the relief of the Vatican. First to enter the camps may be Latinos and blacks. But that is not the final target. The Vatican needs to destroy the bible believers, now that the old whore has control of the levers of power. Now her purge of annoying protestant dissent can begin at last. A new Inquisition run by FEMA for the protection of 'Christian' America. And who better to protect American assets than a real estate mogul with links to the mafia coupled with Jesuit controlled Zionism (the Illumanist variety). This is guesswork on my part, but I am watching carefully. FEMA has not been built to stand idle. It may begin operation and the christian right may be cheering if its guests are immigrants and left wing radicals. Let's wait and see. I also think that Trump will use the power of the US military to scare Russia into fighting form. Europe will burn. I also believe that Trump is a narcissistic sort of guy that has an extreme ego and thin skin that can only be bad news. Yes America has a new King. And though he has ascended from the seeming grave of defeat he is not the Saviour, and he certainly isn't from Graceland. A new face to 'save us' but the same sceams to enslave us, the puppet masters that pull the strings are still playing the same old game. And Trump is one of theirs. No matter who you choose, Clinton or Trump, both are from the same Ringmasters. Trump didn't appear from nowhere, he has been groomed. Just like in tinsel town Hollywood, you don't get to make billions in shiny real-estate deals without making a much bigger deal with the devil. You're not going anywhere in big money without being a Freemason or making some sort of trade for your soul. You see it is not a free market at all. Its a kingdom. And its a Kingdom of Darkness. Until Revelation 11:15 is fulfilled the Kingdoms of this world belong to Satan. It's his sandpit, and he gives riches to whom he chooses, Matthew 4:9. Trump is not a Christian anymore than America is the Kingdom of God. He is a fully fledged Apollo worshiping Pagan with a sordid sexual history. He is a hard working, patriotic child molester and it is wise that folks wake up to the man the captains the ship called SS America. I feel that some folks on the right side of politics have been lulled into a false sense of security with the surprise victory of Donald Trump into the Presidency of the most powerful country on earth. In their thinking they have one of their guys in the White House, who at least supports Israel and is a bit friendlier towards the bible and family values than Hillary Clinton would have been. I am not so sure. The more I have dug into who Trump is the more I shudder. The more I see who he is, the more I understand his connection to the Clinton's and into their godless, treacherous, cold hearted manipulation and plotting in real estate and in lives. It's not just Holly and Ivanka that are friends. The Clintons and Trumps are cut from the same cloth and they've been best mates for years. It doesn't seem to matter who you vote for, the government always gets in. Trump may make a show of reversing Obama's legacy, but it is a show. He is here to radicalise and divide America and the land of Israel if that is possible. Trump is here to damage things and divide and to start fires. Like he has damaged a child's innocence so he will do so to America and Israel. When you get to the top of politics, right and left mean nothing. They are wings of the same bird. They are all in the same bed. Literally and metaphorically. If you want to believe you are living in a cotton candy wonderland, don't read any further. Washington is not Camelot. Trump is no King Arthur, and he sure ain't King David. Thank goodness the LORD Yeshua יהוה ישוע is ruling in heaven. The King has his men and they struggle under the tyranny of those God also raises up to rule. And those He raises up are often the basest of men. The following principles from Daniel should be a reminder (by the way it's Aramaic, not Hebrew in this portion of scripture): Daniel 4:16-17 By the way I am not suggesting that Donald Trump is the Beast of Revelation, the Anti-Christ, but I do believe that he is a beast of a man and very much an antichrist and therefore not our friend and no friend of Israel. Bad trees do not produce good fruit. And Trump's trunk is rotten to the core. We seem to be heading into a period of civil breakdown in Europe and America. Russia has American troops at the borders of her sphere of influence. Rightly or wrongly she has been invaded many times over her history. Although no friend of Western democracy she feels that the west is provoking her in her stomping ground and she is in no mood to allow her sphere of influence to be compromised. Because of the flat geography between Moscow and western Europe, Russia must take the initiative. The best defense is offense. At some point she must invade Europe if she feels threatened. I see a catastrophe coming to Europe and America. The western world is actually imploding politically and morally. The kind of war that is coming is a madness created by our own collective godlessness, it is punishment of the godless by the godless. War is coming. It can't be avoided. It is a result of godlessness and it is it's own cure. Death cures disease. Much of the American population in the big bad cities are post christian and radically left wing in their ideology or philosophy - like the rest of the western world. The young people are cut off from their christian roots and seem to be out to lunch (perhaps too much ham in their sandwiches and too much Marxism and evolution in their textbooks). Most of the youth are gone to the dogs. They are no more connected to God than they are to the land. They live in the fantasy world of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Being gay is good. Believing the bible is a hate crime. It doesn't take much of a match to ignite already inflamed hearts. Most of the big cities are left wing and godless and primed to explode in violence. They just need an object of hate to galvanize them. Its like the beginning of the first Mad Max movie years ago - in my opinion an awfully degraded, bad taste sort of movie from the penal colony called Australia. But it was prophetic in that it described the world before the nuclear war. There was a moral breakdown, distrust of politics and extreme public disorder and violence leading to the break down of society. I believe I am seeing it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9WvPi5S2BE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YCtIctT8s8 Yeshua is the head of all things... Before I get into the nitty gritty into the some of my brief investigation into who Trump is, I would like to first give some good news. Down here we struggle in an evil world. We are told that the root of this struggle is in the heavenly realm against wickedness in these places!, Ephesians 6:12. One of the things we should know is that the Lord Yeshua is above all principality and power! Yes we wrestle with principalities and powers down here, but Yeshua is above them all! Hallelujah! Ephesians 1:20-23 Even as our nations desert the LORD and plunge to the abyss we have been brought into another Kingdom that will endure forever. Our Saviour, has paid the price for our redemption and we belong to Him. He is above all things. Perhaps we need to focus our attention on Him afresh. I know life is a battle but so is walking with our Lord. I have failed much in this regard. Even as I write I am refocusing on HIm afresh. Yes our nations are heading towards destruction, but our Lord is above all of it. He will lead us. He is the good Shepherd. King David went through many trials. But he went through them with the Lord. I don't know exactly how things will pan out for America and the world but i know the fundamentals are bad. The underpinnings of our once partly Christian/Masonic lands are falling apart. Our leaders are morally very bankrupt and wicked. And so however it works out, it cant be good for our nations in the long term. But through all of this turmoil, our King is on the throne, and we need to take time aside from our busy lives to meet with him. All our labour is in vain unless it is founded upon the Rock. ...and He is Zealous over Zion
I am not sure what Trump will do exactly. It looks like he will move the American Embassy to Jerusalem. That is a big deal. It certainly makes the Jews happy, Perhaps they will drop their guard? Are there strings attached? Or is the Lord orchestrating this and it's all good? Time will tell I guess. If Israel were truly independent then they would do what is best for Israel irrespective of what America or the world thinks. But like Jacob bowing to Esau 7 times, so too does the state of Israel bow down to whatever the American administration says. And by the way why is Israel called the "State of Israel"? Is Australia called the State of Australia? Does the term "State of Israel" infer that it is only a state of another federal country? It seems that who runs America is more important to Israel than who runs Israel. Israel behaves like it is subordinate to America. Whatever Trump does for Israel must have a cost. Israel is not trusting in the Lord, but in man. Psalms 118:8 From our perspective we want to see Israel survive and get stronger. But from the Lord's perspective, He wants her heart. He wants her to turn from her lovers (including America) and turn to Him. As far as Israel is concerned, it's not so important what Trump says or does. The important thing is who Israel puts their trust in. The Lord must be number one and the one and only one that Israel trusts in. I think the Lord will show that Israel's trust in Trump is ultimately futile. In fact it would be better for Israel in the long term if America forsakes her, then she can finally put her trust in the Lord instead of man. Isn't that what we all must do? Isaiah 31:1 Perhaps when America sinks and cannot help Israel will turn out to be the greatest day for Israel and those that live by faith. Then the Lord will show himself strong to those that put their trust in Him. For this reason alone I think America is a trap for Israel. Yes the friendship is good, but the trust in the American administration is wrong. It is whorish. Israel needs to trust in the Lord. Trump is just another in a long line of friends and lovers that will forsake Israel when they need them most. Yes Israel has friends in America. But the Lord is a jealous lover. He will punish Israel for her infidelity in trusting in princes instead of Him. Psalms 118:9 War is coming. Is Israel strong? Are we strong? I think it's more important that our eyes are fixed upon the Holy one of Israel. Our strength is of little consequence. His strength is all that matters. 2 Chronicles 16:9 As for Trump, personally I don't trust the man, but I know the Lord does what He wants and uses who he wants. So I am watching. Ultimately the Lord wants Israel's heart. So there must be some heart breaks along the way. Including with those to whom Israel puts her trust in. Shall there be some sort of land for peace deal? Shall the settlers once again start building? Could be. Donald is sending his Jewish son in Law Jared Kushner to broker some sort of peace deal. I find it so interesting that both Trump and Jared are about real estate. Will they make some sort of real estate deal in Jerusalem? Will it really be win-win or are there strings attached? So if they make a deal on Jerusalem, what is the price? And could it be a covenant with death? Isaiah 28:15,18. I know that the Vatican wants Jerusalem. And has recognised the Palestinians as a nation and granted them an embassy. They need both Israel and the Palestinians off balance. Divide and rule. So this year 2017 / 5777 promises to be very interesting. Those with money and power go about their pursuit of more of both. While those that trust in the Lord do well to make ends meet. We struggle on and try to awaken others while we grown inwardly in seeming helplessness while those men of the world, those shakers and movers, those men that 'have their portion in this life', do what they want or at least it seem to. But things will work themselves out. The Lord is on the throne. Our job is to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. The point of this post is to bring to your attention some things President Trump has said that show me, and hopefully you, that he is unfit to govern. That he is a very base man, self willed and controlled by his own lusts and animal nature. And so we are in desperate times, to have such a man leading the most powerful nation of the world. My hope is that we will get our focus upon the Lord with renewed vigor as we see that vain is the help that comes from man, Psalm 60:11. Let us hope in God once more and seek Him earnestly, and the joy of spending time in His presence. Apollo's Pet I have looked into what inspires Donald Trump. It isn't the bible. Apollo and pagan myth seem to be on his mind if the furnishings of his 66th floor Penthouse has anything to do with it. Apollo is called 'Abaddon' in the book of Revelation 9:11, which means 'destruction' in Hebrew. Trump seems to like men that get things done. According to the following website, zeitgeist77.wordpress.com, Trump loves a certain French King, Louis XIV known for opulence and aggressive foreign policy. The Trump Penthouse is built in the style of this Kings residence... "Louis XIV led the absolute monarchy during France’s classical age, ruling from 1643 until 1715 So Trump likes Apollo the destroyer and an aggressive foreign policy. There is a time for a nation to stick it's doots up but I think Trump may ignite the world. Still we have to wait and see. I suspect that the USA will transform into a fascist dictatorship under Trump under the full control of the Jesuits and the Vatican. It's almost there now. It's just that the apparatus of the inquisitors has not been activated. Because of his ego, he will crack down on dissent. We just need some shocks to give the President the war powers he needs. That's where the 'America first' populist talk will lead. I believe this because the moral fundamentals of the nation are not good. I think that middle America has been goaded by the liberals all these long years so that they will accept a new right wing Saviour, a Fuhrer that promises national salvation and the promise of a return to its founding principles. For a short time America will seem to be returning to its christian roots, but in reality it is returning to Rome and dictatorial control. As this is progressing, the rift between democrat and republican will widen, Hence the martial law and FEMA camps. Meanwhile on the foreign front, Trump will favour Zion and the State of Israel on the one hand and on the other, manage to disillusion its former friends in Europe. This will accelerate the fragmentation of Europe and facilitate a Russian invasion and begin world war 3. Of course China will have to be goaded into a fight too. Japan will side with the USA. At least that is one possible scenario. I wait to see what this devotee of Apollo and Louis XIV does, but I assume it will be to bring total destruction through an aggressive foreign policy. Over Trumps short Reign as King he will have caused America to be so hated that when it is invaded, the nations will show no mercy to those left. America will already have been in a state of war for some time and those that disagree with Trump will find themselves in club FEMA. That is my cynical take on the future of America. Ultimately it may not be a good place for Jews to live either as there will be a backlash against them from both the Christian Identity KKK types in the North and the liberals in the cities. One thing I know for sure is that Trump is not here to buy us time. He is here to push the accelerator. He will do some things to earn him some favour, like Hitler he will get the country moving, but in the end he will destroy it. While on the topic of Apollo the destroyer, I would like to talk about Donald Trump's Pet project, his daughter Ivanka. It is the relationship between Daddy and daughter that I found most disturbing. Yet it turns out to be the one I want to talk about the least. The following quote is from the independent.co.uk. On The Howard Stern Show, 2003 I think there is somethings pretty sick here and these are not innocent statements. If it was just one isolated incident then perhaps you could argue it away. But there seems to be a history of sordid comments and associations with the seedier side of life. Some of the pictures of Donald with his daughter and the way he holds her and sits with her seem a bit weird. Have a look at the following videos and make up your own mind... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkvG3g7hEJE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuaDOyy4osI Anyway it's food for thought. Who has time to think? We are like mice or squirrels on a running wheel, who has time to look into anything anymore? Running, running, running, can't talk, have to fly. Life can be dizzying as we chase the almighty dollar, just to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. Who has time to be philosophical? But we do live in interesting days don't we? Let's see what captain America will do. In closing I would like to say that I love super heroes. But I will stick with the Carpenter from Nazareth. I will leave with the quote from the book of Daniel 4:17... "the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." By the way I am not trying to 'bag' America. I simply have many alarm bells going off, I am concerned. Time will tell if these thoughts and feelings are legitimate. I think things will develop quickly. I have long since realised that I am not of this world. My hope is in another King and another Kingdom.
Cheers & Shalom Rory It is my belief that most of the lost tribes of the house of Israel have already left Europe for the USA with some in Canada and some here in Australia and New Zealand. This article compares Australia with the USA and highlights and contrasts the different beginnings of these nations and the sort of folks that settled in Australia and why it is the way it is. There is a great deal of brokenness and rebellion in the attitudes of Australian men towards God. Australia is far less godly than the USA. More to follow... Australia & New Zealand at the 'Ends of the Earth' We know that the Lord purposed to scatter the 10 Northern tribes of the House of Israel and that they would be found at the ends of the earth because He promises to gather them from there. Well Australia and New Zealand are about as far from the centre of the earth and Jerusalem as you can get without going to Antarctica. (South Africa is significantly closer as the African continent physically connects to the middle east. However the Southern tip of South America is even further away than Australia or New Zealand. ) Again what I want to do is concentrate on Australia (and New Zealand to a lesser degree) and contrast and compare the short history of these places with the history of the USA - but very briefly. Lets see some scriptures which suggest that the scattering of Israel will go to the 'ends of the earth'. As you can see there are a lot of verses that use the expression 'ends of the earth'. But when we look at Australia and New Zealand's spiritual climate today we see a terrible departure from God. Let's look at the scriptures first... Deuteronomy 33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. Comparing Kangaroos, Koala's & Kiwis with Bald Eagles From these verses we see that indeed there is a connection with Israel/Jacob/Ephraim etc being scattered far away to the ends of the earth. It has only been over the last few hundred years that Australia and New Zealand have been settled by the British Empire and set up as Christian nations. One of the big differences between Australia and New Zealand compared to the USA is how godless we have become, and how asleep we are spiritually. Yes the same thing is happening in the USA but we don't appear to have the same Hebrew Roots awakening going on to the same degree. We don't have the same quality or depth of insight into the word as I see in America. We don't have enough folks with a deep desire to study, we don't seem to have the right stuff as far as the Hebrew roots revival is concerned. We have all the same faults in the churches in America but few of the bright lights that are awakening through the Hebrew roots movement there. How many Australian or New Zealand Hebrew roots teachers do you know? They don't exist. As far as the mainline protestant evangelical / Pentecostal churches are concerned we have the same afflictions as in the USA. The larger Australian and New Zealand churches are just as shallow, luke warm and corrupt as their large counterparts in the USA. As stated earlier, there are tiny pockets of folks with Hebrew roots leanings in Australia and New Zealand but they are few and far between, They are generally less developed and often quite basic in their understanding and practice and of course suffer because they are so few and isolated. Some may say that it's just that we have a smaller population. Both nations together have less than a 10th of the USA's population of nearly 320 million. Australia has about 25 Million and New Zealand has about 4.5 Million. But it would seem to be more an issue with the kind of people that came to both nations and their lack of zeal and lack of depth in the scriptures all along our short history. Australia was set up as a Penal Colony. It was not settled by Protestant Christians looking for religious freedom. As such, it does not have any way near the history of religious devotion that the Christians have shown in the USA. This is perhaps the major difference. You could say that America was settled by the cream of the crop of the House of Israel while Australia and New Zealand were settled much later by the dregs. And you would be right for the most part. (And I am sorry if I upset folks). However you know the story of the Prodigal son. There may be some of Ephraim here and the other tribes that will have a change of heart and return to the father after waking up to themselves. Unfortunately for now both nations are quite wealthy and indifferent to the gospel at present and the church is very very lukewarm and ignorant. Rahab, Wickedness & Shechinah at the ends of the earth It's interesting the the Lord mentions that the He wall call his daughters from the ends of the earth in Isaiah 43:6. Isaiah 43:6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; He does mention bringing his sons from afar which seems to be related to the south so there may be hope for the men. But it could be that far more women repent here in Australia than men! And it could involve a great deal of affliction to get them to listen. There seems to be a connection to wickedness at the ends of the earth... Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? It is quite interesting that there is a relationship between the judgement of the wicked from the ends of the earth. This meshes well with Australia's ungodly beginnings as a dumpling ground for britains convicts. However later settlement was not composed of convicts, nevertheless it seems to be a place where being a rebel is part of the culture. This is the nation that produced Ned Kelly, ACDC and Mad Max after all. So being a bad boy is good here in Australia. If we look at the earth as a flat projection, with the North Pole at the centre as in the map above then the outer edge of Antartica corresponds to the outer wall. If we think about the outer wall of the temple then Australia and New Zealand could be related to this outer wall. The outer wall of the temple was a place where the women could assemble and watch the proceedings within the temple complex from above. We know that the feminine is related to the body of Adam and to his skin, she is his glory. The Shichina Glory, the glory of the place where God dwells is related to the feminine. The word is derived from the word for dwelling place, Mishkanot, מִ֝שְׁכָּנֹ֗ות, that appears in Numbers 24:5, Psalm 132:5 for example. The word Shechina, שכינה, in Hebrew is a feminine noun. However the woman was the first to be deceived. And so in a sense the glory has been usurped by the serpent through rebellion to the word of God. I find it fascinating that the Lord speaks specifically in Isaiah 43:6 about bringing back his daughters from the ends of the earth. Perhaps when the Lord shakes the wicked from the ends of the earth, not too many bad boys make it back in comparison to the women. Still I hope some do. There is certainly a link between the divine feminine, and wickedness at the ends of the earth. It's interesting that Rahab the prostitute lived in the wall of Jericho. Rahab is also another name for the dragon in the sea, Leviathan. But this human Rahab had a change of heart, she believed! She was wicked but she repented and was saved from the destruction. It maybe prophetic for Australia and New Zealand. It is also interesting that New Zealand was one of the first nations to give women the vote. I will upset many folks by saying that this is ungodly. There are plenty of texts that plainly show that men are to lead. When a woman votes she is usurping authority over a man. Its just straight out rebellion to God's word. Our generation is not enlightened. It is in darkness.
It is forbidden for women to teach or have authority over a man. Australian and New Zealand women are naturally much more assertive and wicked in comparison with women from the USA from my experience. We suffer from the Jezebel-Ahab spirit big time. So wickedness is very much entrenched at the ends of the earth. It is no coincidence that the 1970's feminist singer Helen Reddy who sang 'I am woman' hailed from Melbourne, Australia before she set up shop in LA. Of course Zena the Warrior princess is a New Zealand export. Her real name is Lucy Lawless (Lucifer Lawless?). The Lord hates the pride of rebellious women. Just read Isaiah 3 to see how the Lord mocks the pride of the rebellious daughters of Zion. It's not good. Rebellious women require spiritually weak mean to rule over. It's a team effort. Female pastors? Not biblical, except in Sodom. Sadly I see many women ruling the roost here in Australia amongst the messianic Hebrew roots congregations. It's more of an indictment on the men. They just aren't up to the task. Their heart is not in it and they just don't have the right stuff. But the fact that women rule over God's people is still the fault of the men that let it happen. If you read the Genesis account of the fall you find that Adam is held more accountable to God than Eve because the Lord commanded Adam directly. And so it is today. Men are silent before their wives when they should speak out - and pay the price. Men know what is right but wont do it. They put their wives before God. Men are willful but women are deceived like Eve was and there are no men to stand in the gap. Eve was more deceived and fell first while Adam was silent and let it happen so in that sense men are more willful and rebellious. Welcome to Australia. Enjoy the beaches. Is there any good news? Could be... Great South Land of the Holy Spirit There will have to be a mighty move of the Spirit of God in this land if there is to be any flesh saved. Such a move was prophesied by two individuals.
Of course this is not prophecy from the bible. So the jury is out until it either comes to pass or it doesn't. It will take more than church bells to wake people up down here. Pedro Fernandes de Queiros (I will just call him Pedro from now on) was a Portuguese explorer who is popularly believed to have christened Australia in May 1506 as "the land of the Holy Spirit", "Australia del Espiritu Santo". Well time will tell if he was prophetic. Some believe that it was in or near New Hebrides / Vanuatu where he made this pronouncement. Others say it is in Port Curtis, Gladstone in the state of Queensland, Australia. In any case it gives Christians here something to cling to as they watch their nation's church attendance plummet while the sports stadiums are filled to overflowing. It will need a move of God's Spirit just to get Australians to think about God. The name 'Australia' comes from the Latin 'Australis' meaning 'South' and appears in the Catholic bible in Isaiah 49:12 in the Latin Vulgate. The original word in Hebrew is Sinim, סִינִים, translated 'australi'. Isaiah 49:12 Some believe that the land of Sinim mentioned here in Isaiah actually refers to China. China is called 'Sin' by the Chinese even today. In any case the land of Sinim has been translated as 'terra australi' in the Catholic Latin Vulgate. And this was no doubt what was on Pedro's mind when he made his proclamation of the 'great land of the Holy Spirit'. Maybe it was an inspired moment, but we are still waiting. Here are a few links with more information on Pedro and 'terra Australi'.
Smith Wigglesworth was an English faith healer who prophesied that there would be a mighty end times revival starting from Melbourne, Australia. Still waiting for that one. It could happen, but only in the context of awakening the lost tribes of Israel scattered here. And probably closely followed by the Lord shaking the wicked from the ends of the earth. The Holy Spirit comforts and fills the believers hearts. The Holy Spirit is the seal of our redemption. In the physical world the Holy Spirit's ultimate residence will be centred in Jerusalem, in Zion where the temple shall be rebuilt. A move of the holy spirit in Australia could only be in the context of the return of the Holy Spirit to Jerusalem with the awakening of the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel. But this awakening has already begun. So Australia would seem to be running out of time for any great revival. Still we wait. We wait at the ends of the earth. Australia is a hot and dry country in many places and tropical and lush along the Queensland coast. The Holy Spirit is often related to the metaphor of water. Of course the Holy Spirit also is related to fire. How interesting fire and water are related. Fire actually creates water (vapour). The following is a secular Australian song by the band 'Icehouse' from the 1980's called 'Great Southern Land'. Let's pray that the Lord יהוה pours out His Spirit on this thirsty land because it is spiritually an Ice House that is burnt black with the stony hearts of lost souls... ANZAC Soldiers The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC's) performed admirably with the British in 1917 during the battle for Beersheba. The Australians charged the fortified city so quickly on horseback that the Turks couldn't lower their guns on time. Thus the Ottoman empire was soon out of the land of Israel and Jewish settlement could rapidly increase. Jerusalem was captured by Allenby and the Zionist project began to unfold in earnest. During WW2 the German Afrika Corps General Rommel was impressed by the skills and daring of the Australians in the desert. Such is the stuff of legends. Back here in the 'Great South land of the Holy Spirit' we find that Australian males can indeed be generals on the football field. But when they get home to their wives, "She's the boss". Men have lost their Spiritual leadership in the home. Jezebel and Ahab. Manhood is sleeping and women rule. God save us. Plans for 2017 On a personal note I hope to begin work on a tiny home on wheels at the end of 2016 and into 2017. I would also like to return to the USA in 2017 also -if the world doesn't go bang! A quiet note to 'Turncoats'
Let's look at what the scriptures have to say about who Yeshua is... New Testament Scriptures |
This section for me is a real big deal. There are books outside the cannon of scripture that are quoted or referred to directly by the bible. One of these is the book of Jasher and another one is Enoch. Enoch tells us a lot of things that are alluded to in the bible either directly in indirectly but it goes into much more detail, for example concerning Enoch's life and the giants or Nephilim (fallen ones). However it's astronomy section looked like it came from some crude and illiterate numskull living in some medieval backwater (or Australia -sorry I've just had enough of my incarceration in this prison island, a prison for my soul). So because Enoch's cosmology sounded daft I put that stuff in the too hard basket and shrugged my shoulders and studied something else.
When reading the book of Enoch concerning its cosmology it makes absolutely no sense at all and one is tempted to throw it in the trash bin. But that is because we are trying to apply the mechanics of a spherical earth and a heliocentric solar system upon writings that are based upon a flat earth with a dome firmament in which the sun and moon rotate about a stationary earth.
The section of the book of Enoch that concerns the movement of the sun over the earth is chapter LXXII, and is simply titled, 'The Sun.' It is the first section of “THE BOOK OF THE COURSES OF THE HEAVENLY LUMINARIES”. It describes the sun going through three portals northwards, taking three months or one month per portal. It then describes doing the same but southward through the same portals in reverse order. It continues to describe it going down a further three portals southward. Then it goes up northward again through those last three portals to end where it began. What the hang is it talking about? This made no sense to me at all until it was explained by Zen Garcia on YouTube using the flat earth model. Check out the 15 min snippet from Rob Skiba’s interview with Zen 'Zen Garcia Plots the Course of the Sun Over the Flat Earth'. If you've got the time check out the full YouTube interview with Zen at 'TFR - Revolutionary Radio with Zen Garcia: Flat Earth and the Firmament'.
If this orbital motion of Enoch sounds confusing, check out the pictures above or Rob Skiba's helpful video in the interview above. Enoch is basically describing seasons from spring (3 months) moving into the summer (3 months) in the northern hemisphere and then autumn (3 months) to winter(winter 3 months) to summer again.
That is, the sun is moving from the equator to the tropic of cancer to the equator again, then to the tropic of Capricorn and finally back to the equator going northward towards the tropic of cancer to repeat the cycle. Look if nothing else, you may get a better understanding of the tropics, maybe one day you can book a flight and have a holiday. Dreams are free huh?
OK so getting back to the book of Enoch, it supports a factual flat earth model along with the rest of the bible and apocrypha and not the pseudo-science of NASA and the Vatican Jesuits Sun worship of the Heliocentric solar system. The biblical calendar is a luni-solar calendar with the sun and moon rotating around a fixed earth.
"Astronauts to the moon, ha ha."
Sun Rays, Rainbows and Moon Shadows
Back here on earth we find that the Sun’s rays stream through the clouds in the shape of a pyramid, as if the sun is a lot closer than 93 million miles as we’ve been told by men in white coats with serious frowns and letters after their name. According to the bible it is a lot closer -it’s in the firmament. And the firmament is a solid dome. It’s hard for the mind to break free of 'science falsely so called', 1 Tim 6:20.
There is no indication of a rotating earth in scripture but there are scriptures telling us that Lord יהוה made the earth unmovable, 1 Chronicles 16:30, Psalms 104:5. And thus whatever is spinning around above our heads is actually what is spinning, not the earth. Yes you can reinterpret it and say that it is written from the point of view of someone on earth looking up but if you just read the biblical and even extra biblical writings including Enoch, it all depicts a flat earth. I am trying to be fare to the bible and I can't ignore it or NASA's fakery any more.
I am not saying that you can calculate the distance to the sun from the rays, but you can tell it's not millions of miles away otherwise the rays would be coming in almost parallel. But they don't.
What is even more bizarre is Lunar phases and shadows. Ive seen phases of the moon that don't have the shadow on the correct side. Lunar eclipses are crazy too. Close inspection of Lunar eclipses on mornings when the sun is rising at the opposite end of the horizon show the ‘earth’ shadow on the wrong side of the moon! The eclipse shadow on the moon is above when it should be below if the sun is also above the horizon. Thus the light of the sun behind a supposed 'spherical' earth does not create the shadow; something else is creating this effect. See “Daytime Lunar Eclipse Footage Debunks The Ball Earth - The Flat Earth Reality”. According to the scriptures the moon has its own light! Isaiah 13:10. There are many other anomalous effects related to the phases of the moon that contradict the supposed light of the sun creating the light of the moon. Indeed the nature of the moon’s light is cold and according to some actually drains heat! This is something that I will investigate further. Obviously I haven’t spent enough time under the moon light.
I feel greatly liberated by what I have so far learned (if not a little cheesed by wasting so much time investigating reusable rocket companies). I see a wonderful science to the Word which completely contradicts the so called science of the ‘enlightenment’ and their pagan astronomy that worships the sun. How much treasure is in our Father’s Word compared to the darkness of the ‘Illuminated’? "The world by wisdom knew not God", 1 Cor 1:21 and they don't even understand the world they are living in or that there is a firmament above their head.

I am not sure about this one, but I thought I would put it out there and perhaps someone can confirm or refute it. I am told that a rainbow cannot be produced indoors from non sunlight using the water droplets alone. I have not verified this. If this is true it implies that there is a second refraction source required to produce the rainbow effect from non sunlight. The Dome firmament would be that source outside in the sun.
Flat Earth Problems!!!
There are lots of problems yet to be resolved with the flat earth model if in fact it is correct. I know that the spherical earth and heliocentric model fall short. I know there is a solid firmament dome. So this is not an exhaustive list of problems, just the two ones that spin my wheels without getting me anywhere.
There are two main problems to the flat earth model that I can't ignore. The first one concerns the southern star trails and it is a show stopper unless there is a better explanation than the spherical two poled earth model. The reason that I believe the earth is flat is that the earth has a firmament that is clearly described as a dome. And the second reason that I have swung towards the flat earth Model is that NASA clearly fakes space including low earth orbit space walks and space stations, globe earth photographs, missions to the moon and beyond.

Flat Earth problem 1: Southern Hemisphere & the Path of the Stars around the Southern Celestial Pole
The issue of the rotation of the stars seen in the Southern Hemisphere about the south celestial pole is the major showstopper in understanding the physical shape of the earth and how it relates to heaven, at least for me. If we are on a disk then the stars all revolve around one pole, the north pole. And so as you go southward past the equator towards what is called the southern Hemisphere (on the globe model) you should see the stars move sideways along the horizon. But instead you see them rotate around another pole, the south celestial pole. There are videos on YouTube that describe this pretty clearly including this well animated one titled 'Revisiting the Pole Stars Conundrum' from a rather arrogant, rude and peeved British globe earth pundit who explains the issue pretty clearly and sneeringly. I have heard some pretty bizarre explanations that I can't accept. So I patiently watch and wait for enlightenment (while getting older and fading away waiting for God).
If you are in the Northern Hemisphere you can perhaps shrug your shoulders on this one because you don’t see the stars rotating the way we do here in Australia or New Zealand or South African or South America. But I can't ignore this stuff, it's more mystifying and visible than the Coriolis effect.
Down here in Australia we do not see Polaris or the big or little dipper, that’s too far north. We see many of the stars that are seen in the northern hemisphere including the Zodiac but not the ones closest the north pole.And our stars do not rotate about the north pole Polaris, we see the stars rotating about the celestial south pole, the complete opposite. We don’t have an easy to see pole star as such but we have the southern cross not too far from an area where the stars rotate. Look at a southern hemisphere star chart and you will see what we see when we look up. Or play with a astronomy program like ‘Stellarium’ and set your location in Melbourne, Australia and advance the clock and watch how the stars rotate about the south celestial pole.
This two pole movement of stars about the north and south celestial poles clearly supports the model of the earth being a sphere, those in the northern hemisphere see the stars rotate around Polaris and those in the southern hemisphere see the stars rotate around the south celestial pole near the southern cross.

I have been doing all sorts of 3D drawings using a program called SketchUp to try to mimic what I see to no avail. Either the flat earth model is incorrect or I am missing something. I have reached the point where there is too much evidence against the spherical earth, especially on the earth itself. And there is overwhelming evidence in the Word of God for a literal solid dome firmament no matter what the shape of the earth is. I believe the word of God even if I cannot understand fully what my eyes are seeing. I no longer believe the heliocentric explanations to orbital motions of the sun and moon and planets (wandering stars). It is now just the stars themselves that are a problem.
However I believe that the answer to the problem is related to the Laver mentioned earlier in this article. Because it was made from brass mirrors or (looking glasses in the KJV) of the women as follows...

Exodus 38:8
וַיַּעַשׂ אֵת הַכִּיֹּור נְחֹשֶׁת וְאֵת כַּנֹּו נְחֹשֶׁת בְּמַרְאֹת הַצֹּבְאֹת אֲשֶׁר צָֽבְאוּ פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מֹועֵד׃
8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Later Solomon built the brazen sea. The symbolism of the laver and sea referring to the heavens can be seen in Revelation 4:6 and Job 37:18.
Revelation 4:6
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Job 37:18
תַּרְקִיעַ עִמֹּו לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָק׃
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
Thus there may be as aspect of a mirroring mechanism that accounts for the southern stars apparent rotation about the southern celestial pole. Try as I might I cannot seem to find a mechanical explanation for it. So that will have to wait for some other time. We will understand at some point, because as stated earlier, there is nothing hidden that won’t be revealed, Matthew 10:26. And if we ask, seek and knock we will find, Mat 7:7. It just takes time, persistence and the grace of God, and the Spirit of God, John 16:13. I know that it has something to do with the eyes as well. I cant but help think of the garden of Eden and Eve seeing the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. The heavens are black because of the fall of Zion and the world, Jer 4:28 (This I believe refers to something before Adam on a previously desolated earth). There is a part of our eye that is also black, our pupil. At the centre of Noah’s Ark there was window, the Hebrew word for it is ‘Zohar’ which means to glisten. This reminds me again of the eye and it's lens and Yeshua’s observation…
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Luke 11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
So could the glistening Zohar window on the Ark be a picture of what Yeshua is talking about? This window filled the body of the ark with light and it was the light of heaven and the eye was single.
Now these verses remind me of another verse which may not be apparent in the KJV translation. The following verse refers to the locust plague in Egypt during the exodus judgments…
Now these verses remind me of another verse which may not be apparent in the KJV translation. The following verse refers to the locust plague in Egypt during the exodus judgments…
Exodus 10:15
וַיְכַס אֶת־עֵין כָּל־הָאָרֶץ וַתֶּחְשַׁךְ הָאָרֶץ
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened;
The word translated face is actually the word for 'eye', עֵין, ayin in Hebrew. So literally the locusts covered the ‘eye of the earth’. It does not say ‘face’ and it does not says ‘eyes’, it says ‘eye’ singular. If thy eye be evil then they whole body will be filled with darkness just as the earth had been darkened when the locusts covering the eye of the earth.
Now this expression appears again in Numbers when Balam tries to curse Israel.
Now this expression appears again in Numbers when Balam tries to curse Israel.
Numbers 22:11
הִנֵּה הָעָם הַיֹּצֵא מִמִּצְרַיִם וַיְכַס אֶת־עֵין הָאָרֶץ עַתָּה לְכָה קָֽבָה־לִּי אֹתֹו אוּלַי אוּכַל לְהִלָּחֶם בֹּו וְגֵרַשְׁתִּֽיו׃
11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
So by Israel leaving the bondage of Egypt it looks like they are able to cover the eye of the earth. I think in this case it is a good thing. That when Israel is doing right and is in the land, the eye of the earth is good. But when Israel is doing evil and not in the land, then the eye of the earth is evil. So just as we can be darkened through an evil eye so can the entire earth!
I think that we are living at a time where the 10 lost tribes of the house of Israel are beginning to awaken and so as their eyes begin to open, the lies of the wicked, Babylon/Rome/Illuminati etc begin to be exposed. I believe that we will soon understand why the stars move they way they do and this will be the final nail in the heliocentric spherical earth model and the Gregorian Calendar and the Roman Catholic Church (and this will lead to the formation of last days Babylon, for even greater end time deception, that is a topic for another blog article).
It is interesting to me that the earth has an eye. Notice that it can be covered in a good way or an evil way. Notice too the inclusion of the Aleph Tav before the word ‘eye’. This gets my attention and helps me think of Yeshua who will keep me filled with light.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
As we look to Yeshua and are washed by His word there will come a time when our corporate eyes will be single and our whole body filled with light. When the Lord joins the two houses of Israel, the House of David and the Levitical Priesthood headed by the House of Eleazar (Lazarus) will also be raised. This will be a time of tremendous spiritual light (against a backdrop of tremendous spiritual evil and darkness). An even greater fulfillment of the body of Messiah being filled with light will happen when the bride ascends. We have a picture of the ascension of the Bride through the ascension of the Ark when the flood came. What destroyed the wicked, lifted up the ark. Notice it was when the portals of the heavens were opened. The 15 Songs of ascent from Psalm 120 to 134 are prophetic for the spiritual ascension of the Israelite bride in the last days. Of course a love for Messiah, the living Word and His Torah is heavily emphasized in the preceding Psalm 119.

Flat Earth problem 2: Light of the Sun should light entire flat earth not just the 'day side'.
If we are on a flat disk then we should be able to see the sun everywhere. This is a big problem for me. In order to suspend disbelief and believe the flat earth model I have to imagine some sort of cloaking mechanism (that doesn't involve Klingons) that hides the light of the sun. Some may tell us that we can only see 6000 miles away. Doesn't seem logical to me. I don't know. I honestly don't know. I can make up fancy theories but the truth is I don't have a clue why I can't see the sun from anywhere on a flat earth.
All I can imagine is that if the sun is in the dome or above the glassy ceiling then perhaps it's rays are sort of prevented from traveling laterally through the glass ceiling at an extended angle because of some sort of lenticular lens effect. This is like trying to look through Venetian blinds from too small an angle. Theory, theory, theory.
Perhaps the moon light absorbs sunshine. Theory.
Perhaps there is some sort of darkness mist like a cloak of darkness. Theory.
OK so there you go. I don't know.

Implications for Dome Earth
- The Vatican supports the Globe earth model.
- So do the anti reformation Jesuit order and their host (no pun intended) of astronomers.
- NASA doesn’t do space at all. NASA and Hollywood are birds of a Feather, both are used to twist reality and social programming.
- We are not a tiny insignificant race on an insignificant planet in cold godless universe.
- Antarctica is protected by all nations because it is the edge of the Dome.
- God is near to His creation.
- The Earth is Central to all creation and God.
- Mankind is Central to the very near Universe of Heaven (and Heavens).
- Evolution is clearly a Lie as we are in an obviously designed world exactly in line with God’s word including the firmament. A domed earth can't evolve.
- The heavenly starry hosts are actively moved about through the clock work agency of angels and cherubim and their chariots and wheels exactly as the bible describes.
- The Earth is a divine creation complete with heavenly clockwork.
Implications for the Messianic / Hebrew Roots Movement
- The Hebrew Calendar is Luni-Solar and Central to His Plan and central to His clockwork Sun, Moon and stars.
- The Tabernacle and Temple depict God’s House in a very tangible way, both in terms of the Heavens and the Earth.
- The Calendar and Temple are linked both for the biblical Feasts but also because the Heaven and Earth are encoded in the Temple’s design and thus the orbits of the heavenly host themselves and the days and years and Seasons (Moadim) that they encode.
- Hopefully the centrality of the Hebrew Calendar and the true nature and motions of the lights in the firmament that determine it should become clear to our hearts and minds and motivate our affections towards the Lord and His word.
- We have been living in a dream world. And we are only just starting to wake up. What else awaits us? Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free, John 8:32. May we enter the Year of Jubilee with merit and favour as we seek to keep his commandments. May Israel awaken and the Bride make herself ready. Blessed is the Lamb that was slain.
Conclusion
There is strong evidence for a solid dome firmament. There is still debate as to the exact shape of the earth and course of the stars. But it has become abundantly clear that we have had the truth covered up by those in power They were people and organizations that we trusted. They have been fed from our taxes and they have lied.
NASA has lied to us. But not just NASA, our entire heliocentric world view since Copernicus and Kepler are a lie. The Catholic Church although it was initially against the Heliocentric globe earth model it soon adopted it and supported it as it meshed with it's sun worshiping paganism which it had also already adopted and it's solar Gregorian calendar. It now teachers a globe earth and evolution in its schools. It would seem that the heliocentric model of the spherical earth has been used by the Jesuits to undermine the word of God, the Hebrew Calendar and the Protestant reformation.
We are witnessing the gradual awakening of Israel and in particular the 10 lost tribes of the ‘House of Israel’. As we return to His Sabbath, calendar and feasts we are also being awoken to the true nature of the universe and its construction which is related to the movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars around a fixed unmoving earth (Psalm 104:5); and this in turn is related to the luni-solar calendar and end time events.
God is far closer to us and He is Lord and Head over us, not the Pope in Rome and his dark minions that hide the truth.
“Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not.”

Getting the Word Out (as folks go to sleep).
As I began writing this article I was given the opportunity to talk about this subject on a local radio station in Melbourne, Australia. It was the 10pm till midnight slot. Maybe someone sleeping will wake up. It was just an introduction. Yvonne shared some of her thoughts and experiences for the first half and I chimed in with the low down on Domes in space. Check it out here...

Are You Prepared?
How can we prepared for the adventures of our nation falling apart? Are you ready? What is your confidence? Mine is not in myself I can assure you. I walk one day at a time, and my eyes are upon the Lord for my daily bread. In every major decision I tend to be prayerful. Not because I am some super spiritual giant, but because I know if I don't I often get clobbered. If the Lord wills, then we can do this or that, including survive hard times. I have seen the strength of יהוה ישוע in my weakness. I have been sustained by the gracious hand of the Lord in so many little miracles, that I have some confidence in my Father in Heaven's provision. At least I know his ways and what He is like and I know that I can cry out to Him. I wait patiently for Him, I seek His face when I am unsure what to do. If I am forced to take a risk then I tremble indeed but know that my Father is an all powerful, all knowing, multi millionaire and I can phone home to His Throne of Grace at any hour, day or night.
So what confidence can we have in times of economic collapse, war, natural disasters and persecution? The same confidence that we already have right now. We should already be walking by faith and see the Lord leading us and speaking to us through his Word, Spirit, events, folks around us and even nature. If we already have a broken and contrite heart there is hope for getting through what others either fear and dread or over confidently dismiss.

Get a Haircut and get a Real Job. Another Trip?
The last 7 months since returning from the USA on November 11 2015 have been filled with work, work and more work. There is something grounding and earthy about working with your hands. And my job is literally on my hands and knees. Since 2013 I have been learning the simple trade of wall and floor tiling in an on again off again fashion. It is good to work with our hands. Although I could do much more hi tech endeavours, I am amazingly happy to be doing what I am doing. But my life these past months have just been about work and getting setup for this trade. In that time I have been silent on my website, not because I didn't have the time (though I didn't have the time), but because I didn't have the inclination. I guess there is a time to every purpose under heaven. I just want some to work at this trade so that I have a degree of financial independence and can be free at a moment's notice to pack up my tools and minister as the Lord gives me unction.
In many ways I still feel that I am in preparation spiritually. The things that I am talking about today I am only on the cusp of entering into, and it's a struggle.
I was hoping to travel again to the States this winter (in Australia), which is summer in the Northern hemisphere. I am in prayer about this at present. If folks would like me to come and teach then send me an email. I can provide my own return ticket but will need someone to host me.
My only concern is to find someone in Australia to look after a cat named 'Leon', who is cute little fur-ball that I have recently acquired to my joy. He is curled up next to me as I write. He is a Torah observant cat (most of the time).

Prophecy & the end of America, our Lot in life
The following is a recap of what I have shared on the 10losttribes.com website. I then link this generation to that of Lot's.
.So there are seasons to things. I have more or less published what I have wanted to say to the Hebrew Roots community, to Ephraim and the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel. At least in terms of prophetic matters I have given my 10 cents worth and now the unction has left me to share more. I am of course happy to teach this material to those who are inquiring, but I think I have already covered the main points on the website and on audio and video. I'm not here to entertain, I can't even juggle. But I hope you will be ready when the master calls. I have tried to rock some paradigms and prepare Ephraim for the idea that after America leaves the scene of human history, we may still be here on this planet, but in a vastly altered world, a world overturned by World War 3 and natural disasters and the return of the Nephilim - but also a world that has not yet seen the tribulation or the events of Revelation. Most people think the tribulation is next. No, first comes natural disasters, Persecution, civil war and World War. This is not the tribulation. It's just the end of America and the dissolution of the current world order. Other prophecies that are not in the book of Revelation must be fulfilled well before the events in the the last book of the bible. Personally I am sad for the destruction of the world as we know it. I am especially sad for America. Australia in comparison is going the same way but it has lacked the tender heart that I see still in the shadow of what was once one nation under God, at least in part. But for now the ship is sinking and it would be prudent to know where things are going. It's not the tribulation just yet, but it is world war.
The regathering of the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel will happen in stages. First they are to be cut down in size, then they will leave America and elsewhere for the 'North Country'. The current Messianic Leadership is blind and is heading into a brick wall and will be broken along with the nations they are in. The Lord has to first break His people, if they are to be able to hear or see. Sadly there is much that is unbroken in the hard ground that is our heart.
Well before the tribulation, America will be dead and buried by nature, civil war & then nuclear war and invasion. There is little to fear if our hearts are truly in union with Messiah. But few are broken enough to hear Him. God is going to break the remnant of His people in America and elsewhere. We cannot follow Him if we are unbroken. The Lord must destroy America to save some Americans. Ephraim must be broken. After he is broken he can be led. An Ox needs to know His Master. After America is buried, Ephraim will go to the 'North Country' by the Euphrates river. To a large degree I have failed to change the paradigm in peoples heads that the end of America is the end of the world. But the articles are there on my 10losttribes.com website to read in whatever time remains. When we no longer have the internet or our freedoms it will no longer matter what I have written. The Lord will be using the enemy to bring his judgement and He will move powerfully amongst a very small remnant as our western world's unthankful Sodomitish generation dives headlong into the abyss.
From the ashes will arise a 'brave new world', a world that although depopulated and devastated will be renewed as in the overthrow of the cities in Lot's day. It will not be the millennium, but it will lead to the establishment of a remnant of the Lost tribes making it to the 'North Country'. At this time the modern state of Israel will become a Rabbinical Torah based state that is hostile to Yeshua. This will change later into a Jewish homeland that will mourn for the one they have pierced. This will not bring about the second coming but will lead to the full awakening of the Davidic Kingdom (Davids fallen tabernacle). This will then dovetail with the return of the lost tribes from the 'North Country'. At the moment we are not even in the 'North Country', the area where ISIS currently operates. Babylon in Iraq will also rise in prominence after America is burnt by fire and washed by water, Zech 5. Babylon will spread its tentacles globally, but will be centred in Iraq, in the land of Shinar, Zech 5:11. The Babylon in America and globally is not in it's final form but its morphing fast. A nuclear war will help.
But we are a generation well before this coming out of the 'North Country'. This is a message people don't want to hear, and I don't really want to give. It's sort of a waste of time trying to give it but I have. We are not at the place in prophecy where we can stroll into the land of Israel. We have to 'break up our fallow ground', Jer 4:3, Hos 10:12. Before we get to the 'North Country' America and the world as we know it must burn so that something may be saved. Before we can be saved we have to be broken. We are a blind generation like Lot, awaiting the destruction of Sodom and scarcely being saved from it's overthrow. As I have said, 'Lot' means 'veiled', and as his name implies, this generation, like 'Lot' looks at the world through a 'veil', it cannot see the spiritual reality behind it. It makes its judgements according to the sight of it's own carnal eyes. Lot was righteous, but he was carnal. This generation like Lot cannot understand what is coming, it doesn't know where it is going. It is carnal and blind, it cannot see the world beyond the fleshly eyes of carnal sight, having never really come to an end to itself. It is only as we come to an end of all our carnal wants and fleshly lusts and worldly pursuits that we can begin the journey of walking as a son with his father. It is not just obviously wicked things that prevent us from seeing things as they are, it is more particularly the fact that we are self willed. And so the Lord in His kindness may afflict us with something that at first seems like a barrier to us reaching Him, but in actual fact it is a stepping stone, if we can but accept it and push through. God Help me. God help us all.

Going around the mountain or Climbing the Hill to Golgotha
The crown of thorns and Mt Sinai are related words and related ideas. The place of connection is actually contrarily the place of death. What Moses Ascended to on the Mountain is spiritually where we are seated in heavenly places. But few enter into that spiritual inheritance. Many amongst the Hebrew Roots movement have started in a spiritual way to the Sabbath and Feasts and the deeper things of Torah, but they have lost contact with the divine life, with the Spirit, and with mortification of the flesh. We are too much in our head, and too little on our knees. Our heart is far away while we think we are drawing near, because knowledge is increasing. |
We need to get knowledge, wisdom and understanding for sure. But I have noticed that sometimes we begin drawing from a very dry well because we are neglecting our obedient dying to self, putting to death of the carnal nature and a prayerful heart rent relationship with the Father, through the Son by His Spirit. I know because I have done it. We need balance. Head knowledge of Him is actually important. But heart knowledge of Him is essential. Proverbs does not say, 'My son, give me your head' but rather...
Proverbs 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
תְּנָה־בְנִי לִבְּךָ לִי וְעֵינֶיךָ דְּרָכַי תִּצֹּרְנָה׃
The implication is that it's only through our heart that we can know His ways.
Without a broken heart and submitted will, we are like a detective trying to work on a case, not knowing that he is actually dreaming, and the case cannot be solved because he is dreaming and his dreamy mind cannot close the loop because there is no loop (there is no case, the case is a dream and he cant think straight). He has to wake up first and open his eyes. We have to get our mind on things above. We have to get our minds set upon the Son, the Messiah Yeshua who is יהוה. We have to feed upon the tree of life. It's just a matter of balance. Do we want knowledge at the expense of obedience in the Spirit in Union with our creator redeemer. Or do we just want into the garden but don't really want to meet with the Lord of the Garden? Do we have the wedding garments of relationship on, the one that Yeshua provides. Are we trying to solve a case that isn't there? Are we naked studying ourselves to death and stuck in a loop? I fear some Hebrew Roots folks are going through this. Good things take time, but the door is Yeshua. There are two veils of flesh to pass through. His is already opened but ours needs to be put to death.
In order to wake up we need to die to self and let God invade our will. It is costly to self to walk with the Lord of the Garden. It was costly for the Lord of the Garden. Olives were pressed in Gethsemane. The way is open. Why don't we enter in? The veil has been rent at the crucifixion. Why tarry? Why go around the mountain again? Why not ascend? Because there is another that requires crucifixion. Us. Failure to deal with our flesh leads to our failure to enter in. The way is open but we have to die. There can be no drawing near without sacrifice. The animal part of us, must be cut into it's pieces and put on the altar so that we can enter into the Holy Place. The Levitical sacrificial system, was not just a picture of our Lord, it is also a picture of us. We are crucified with Him.
Are we stuck in a loop, solving a case that never closes? Are we going in circles around a mountain instead of climbing it? Are we wandering in the wilderness, but never entering in? Are we complaining instead of waiting upon Elohim to Hear his voice. Sometimes the Lord may allow things to happen that hurt us, to get our attention. Sometimes we carry inner wounds that prevent us hearing because we carry them instead of leaving them with our Lord. For me I have a wound of being single and without a son. In someways I also suffer fatherlessness and motherlessness because my earthly father is somewhat distant and does not know Yeshua and my mother is dead. So I have carried all that inside. I have inner resentments towards the Father in Heaven because I feel alone and have found it difficult to draw near. I need to let it go and trust Him. I need to let God be God and do what He wills. If I am to be single then so be it. I have to let it go. I need to trust and obey, cleanse my hands and draw near through sacrifice of self.
Until we are willing to meet the terms we circle the mountain, not ascending but wandering and complaining. We complain because of the things that hurt us, not knowing that those hurts can sometimes be God trying to bring us to an end of ourselves. The very hurts can actually be chariots to bring us to walk in union with our Saviour. But like Israel in the wilderness, instead of learning the lesson, and dying to self, we go around in circles and complain. (There are others who have nothing to complain about, but study the Torah intently and yet do not know the Lord. They have a heart for the Lord, but like Jacob before he came to Jabok, they are yet to meet Him. They have not wrestled with the man who is the face of God (Peniel)). But if we have wrestled with Him, we may not be walking with a limp as yet. We need to. There is too much confidence in the flesh. We must continue to wrestle but we also must be broken, and the road to breaking Israel in the wilderness was a bitter pill for that generation. They complained their way to the grave. Only in death were they made perfect.
'Tam', תם, which means 'perfect' also means 'death' or 'consumed' when reversed. And the recipe for making us perfect is in the book of Numbers 32:13 and is used to describe the generation that died or was 'consumed', תם, in the wilderness. In order to be made 'perfect', תם, we need to die or be consumed. Mark the Perfect man, the end of that man is Peace, Psalm 37:37. But how do you make a perfect man? You consume his flesh in the wilderness, you bring him to an end of himself. This is where we need to begin if we are to be filled with the Spirit and walk in Union with Messiah. Our bodies must be living sacrifices before we can go any further.

The work of the Cross, to Kill us, not just Yeshua
We must come to the end of our complaining and accept our death on the cross. I have been guilty of this all too often. I have also complained to the Lord far too much because I feel alone and hopeless. There are things in my life, constraints laid down by the father, invisible walls I cannot pass through that make me feel hopeless. In my case it is being single. But your hurt may be different. Instead of entering beyond the veil, I am kept out of the spiritual promised land because I have a broken heart and a complaining soul. If I am to overcome, I must let go of my life, I must trust the Lord and thank Him for His wisdom in the way He deals with me. I must trust Him and let Him drive, even if it means I must wave my dreams goodbye. Not my will be done but Thine. The Lord in mercy must break my heart many times through various trials until my soul truly submits to the master's hand. Until I say, Lord I am done, lead me where you want. Do with me what you will. I let go, into Thy hands I commit my spirit and my life. Break my dreams, I don't care. Just lead me to Thee.
A truly happy life is not getting all that we want. A truly free life is not primarily one of pagan conquest. To possess the earth and gain dominion at the expense of walking in the will of Elohim is no gain at all but terrible loss and eternal hurt to our own soul and others. A truly free life is one that is first and foremost conquered by Elohim. It is only through the work of death to self life that the hidden man of the heart is revealed. A truly free life is one of submission and trust. This is the true way for Adam and Eve to have dominion, through self sacrifice. We have to learn to be led by the Chief Shepherd. We have to learn to be children again, to be mastered by our Father in heaven, to let Him rule and overrule and be God. When we have handed the keys over to Him, then the Holy Ghost can begin to move unhindered and things happen. It is not the Holy Spirit that is far away, it is more the fact that we are unbroken. The outer man must be broken (even if he is Sabbath observant and follows Yeshua). These days my soul is longing for God, not just deep knowledge of Torah, but deep knowledge of the giver of Torah (not Moses, but the true mediator, the Pre-incarnate Son of Elohim, the Davar, the living word made flesh, Yeshua who is יהוה, the visible shadow (tzel, צל), the image (tzelem, צלם) of the invisible Elohim or Father).
As believers we should have enquiring minds -but also obedient hearts. If we are constantly looking for some new thing, some new YouTube video or a new article from 10losttribes.com we may be missing out on a far richer journey, but to leave the shore requires an end to our self life. The old Adam cannot enter the Garden, only through death of self and self will can we perceive what lies beyond. I feel after 30 years of being a believer that I am beginning to break. The bible says that better is the day of death than the day of birth, Ecc 7:1. Solomon may be bitter but he is correct. The old Edom/Adom must die. And Jacob must become Israel, but to do that he must be broken. Our Hebrew Roots generation, though often hurting, is for the most part unbroken, and thus blind. We need our own Gethsemane in the Garden of God. We should be looking beyond the veil of our own flesh into the eyes of our Saviour. To my shame and loss I have done this far less often than I should. Now I feel that it is a race to accept the work of the cross in my own life, bringing me to a end of myself. The gifts of the Spirit and the fellowship in the Holy Ghost (Ruach HaKodesh) are not something far off, they are very near, if we are willing to pay the price, if we are willing to allow the Spirit of God to control every desire, every appetite, every thought, every moment of every hour of every day.
Again this is something I have known for a while, but it is only recently that my soul and my heart is beginning to accept. I am beginning to accept that if I must be alone, then so be it. I must just rest in the Lord and sanctify my body soul and mind to meet the Lord and walk with Him by His Spirit. I can not go on without doing this, so help me God.
A truly happy life is not getting all that we want. A truly free life is not primarily one of pagan conquest. To possess the earth and gain dominion at the expense of walking in the will of Elohim is no gain at all but terrible loss and eternal hurt to our own soul and others. A truly free life is one that is first and foremost conquered by Elohim. It is only through the work of death to self life that the hidden man of the heart is revealed. A truly free life is one of submission and trust. This is the true way for Adam and Eve to have dominion, through self sacrifice. We have to learn to be led by the Chief Shepherd. We have to learn to be children again, to be mastered by our Father in heaven, to let Him rule and overrule and be God.

Blind Ephraimite Leaders
Before I leave this post I want to mention something that has been on my heart for years. And that is that the current leaders of the Hebrew Roots movement are blind guides as to how the Lord is going to bring Ephraim home. They have been useful in informing many as to who Ephraim is. Recently there was a congress in Florida called the 'B’ney Yosef National Congress' in which they collectively stated to Judah, I am Ephraim, here I am. But they want union with the House of Judah before they are ready and before he is ready. The Ephraimites are unbroken cowboys. The Ox does not know how to follow the master, and they do not know where they are going. I see great grief coming upon the leaders and their flocks because of this. They are spiritually nearsighted and cannot see afar off. They think the two sticks of Judah and Ephraim can come together shortly and we can fudge the fact that Judah needs Yeshua.
The following quote is from the following link... (You can download a PDF copy here)
- "We will stand ready to give an answer for the hope of our calling, willing to share what we believe with anyone who desires to hear; this is our responsibility. Yet we acknowledge there is a difference between giving answers to questions asked and trying to convert another to our way of understanding and practice. Therefore, B’ney Yosef North America cannot and will not support or defend any attempts to evangelize the Jewish people.
'What bible are they reading?
All we need to do is simply read the prophets to see how Israel and Judah are joined. It doesn't quite match where we are today. We are awakening but we are not even in the right part of the world. And do we really think that Lamb of God can be fudged from the equation, when His very purpose in visiting us was to bring back the lost sheep of the house of Israel? Is He going to bring back the prodigal while the son that stayed at home hates the very Messiah who brings back the lost son? Are we agreeing with the Rabbis when the Messiah is at odds with them? Have we lost our head? Yes we have. Both figuratively (Yeshua is our head) and literally (we are mad). Rabbinical Judaism is at war with Messiah Yeshua.
I think that for this treason the entire leadership is unworthy to make it through what is coming. They have betrayed the Messiah by placing Union with Judah above Him who died and rose again. How many Hebrew Roots folks are truly walking in Union with Yeshua? How many will make it through the coming gauntlet? The blind follow the blind don't they? How many of this generation will actually make it. It says that unless He left us a 'very small remnant' we would have been as Sodom and Gomorrah, Isaiah 1:9. Is that not this generation? The leaders of this congress have succeeded in identifying the 'small remnant' of Joseph, and made it 'very small'.
Fortunately the House of Israel has enemies like Amalek and Esau (when he throws off the Yoke of Yeshua and His Torah). They will judge the House of Israel and cut them down to size. And America is the land of Esau and Jacob, Free Masons and Puritans. I can speak more about this topic in a future post maybe. But for now the Ephraimite movement has no leaders worth their salt, that can see clearly and prophetically. America must be destroyed and Ephraim must be broken, before a remnant will see. The good thing that has come from the 'B’ney Yosef National Congress' is that Ephraim has boldly identified himself. The sad thing is now he can be identified and shot. He has betrayed His head and loved sister and brother above Messiah, Luke 14:26.

Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?

Welcome to the first blog of a new section to the 10losttribes.com website. It is it's own site.
In a nutshell, this son.10losttribes.com website deals with the heart. It is a Father-Son thing. It is more preaching than teaching. Though of course it will contain teaching, I am really trying to reach out with my heart, both to Yeshua / YHVH and to my brothers and sisters in Messiah.
I see an urgent need for us to get our hearts right as Hebrew roots folks, so that we are filled with the love of Messiah Yeshua, are rooted and grounded in truth, while still seated with Him in Heavenly places.
If we are truly born of God then we will bare good fruit.
If you are busy then this is all you really need to know. If you would like to know more then read on...
From Prophecy to a Broken Heart
I began the 10losttribes.com website back in October 2010 after coming down from sunny Queensland to rainy Melbourne, Victoria (Australia). I felt a great frustration of not being able to get the message out to believing Christian and Hebrew Roots folks with the prophetic insights that the Lord was giving me. Hence my website was a relief valve that has helped preserve my sanity. Amazingly apart from this 'selfish gain', it has actually touched some hearts and enlightened some minds. I am grateful. My current 2015 trip to the USA is actually fruit of this website, which has led to other doors opening. Who knows where it will all lead, but it has been an adventure.
Back in Australia, my experience has been one of indifference and stone walling for the most part. Although some tout Australia as 'the Great Land of the Holy Spirit', It has been my greatest trial to hold on to the Lord there. At present it is a sleeping place to put it kindly, or if I am more honest, it is a spiritually dead place that is in need of a severe wake-up. I say this with a mixture of hope and frustration. I have found within the USA a much larger audience. However although some can see that the USA is heading into judgement, few understand where this is leading and how there is a regathering of the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel from there, before the tribulation. We have a world war coming that is not the tribulation! This is a paradigm shift for most, and too much to take for too many more. Americans have tribulation on the brain, and many think the end of America is the end of the world. It is a very big deal, but it is not the end of the world (the end of Australia is the end of the world!). ;-)
I have tried to show the pre-tribulation regathering of Israel. I have painted the picture with words, diagrams, timelines, audio and video presentations. Now I feel it is time for a change of emphasis. Now that the prophetic road map is painted in, I see the next major task, in whatever time remains, is to deal with the state of our hearts, starting with my own. Hence this subdomain site, son.10losttribes.com, which deals with our relationships. There is a great deal of carnality within the messianic Torah based community that will lead to death, if it is not dealt with, in the coming time of judgement. So this website concerns our relationship to the Father through His Son. And it deals with our Hearts as His Sons (and Daughters). In Hebrew one of the words for Son is בר, 'bar' which also means 'purity'. May Yahweh יהוה, help us all to draw closer to Him and humble ourselves.
I don't know why I feel compelled to put a website together while others don't, I guess we all are wired a sort of way and we all have our thing to do. For me physical stuff like a fancy career or house isn't so important. For me our overall purpose down here and where we are going as the body of Messiah is what drives me. I try to get the prophetic message out. I often struggle with gloomy feelings and questions like, "what is the point?" or "why bother Lord, so few get what I am saying?". But it is not about numbers or some big ministry, but rather, about being faithful. I guess I just have to inform others of what is going on because I would feel guilty if I didn't. If you are on the Titanic and you see an ice burg dead ahead then you would be wise to let the good folks know. But in doing so it has led to isolation and a broken heart in many ways. And to be honest, that has not been such a bad thing, because the Lord is close to the broken hearted. I get plenty of joy in my life but I struggle with being a lone voice in a crowd. I believe that if we are to survive what is coming, we are all going to develop a broken and contrite heart. Yeshua said that all that fall upon Him and who He is, will be broken, Matthew 21:44. There is some hope if we are in tune with our Master. Humility is far better preparation than guns and ammunition. The following is a favourite verse of mine.
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. | There is some safety in that place of brokenness. During the time of trial that will come, let us find our refuge in Him. Let us do so beforehand actually. |
The Journey of My Soul, Head & Heart
There are seasons to everything and times to every purpose under heaven. I found the Saviour, later I found Sabbath and Torah, later still I found the lost sheep of the House of Israel (10 lost tribes). I am still lacking much in the experience of His Holy Spirit in my life. There is a great sea still undiscovered. The Lord is that boundless ocean, endless in depth, broad as infinity. I follow Torah but recently my heart has been longing for something, something that Levi is all about. 'Levi' means 'to connect', and I have found my heart longing for a deeper connection to the Father. Perhaps the Lord יהוה has led me to a brick wall to lead me to Himself. I don't think we can enter the Holy of Holies unless we take a broken heart with us. |
I have found it more and more difficult to study and I think this is because my head is filled up but my heart is running on empty. I guess there are times and seasons to all that our Father in Heaven does in our lives.
I delight in what I have learnt from the Torah. The Holy Spirit has indeed given me light. Yet I do not want a relationship with a book, no matter how good the read, I want a relationship with the Author. I study the book because I love the Author. But I know that to progress further I must reconnect to the Messiah while holding on to my new found Torah knowledge -which in that context is a blessing to me. I enter into His Spiritual rest and embrace the physical Shabbat (I have a physical body that needs a rest). The Torah is indeed a light to my path. The insights in bible prophecy which are contained in the Tenach (Old Testament) concerning the regathering of the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel have been an anchor to me as I understand more fully what the Lord is doing and will do.
Now I understand things on the ground so much better. Now I understand what I am a part of physically. I am from the House of Israel, not just spiritually but physically also. And this is why the Lord is awakening me to Torah. I am Israel.
As wonderful and liberating as this is, I am also seated with Messiah...

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 2:6
It is not an either or thing. I can have both the Torah and the Heavenly blessings in Messiah Yeshua. They are both my inheritance. My feet are on Earth but my Head is in Heaven. I span the realms and so I need to seek the things above, and as I do so I will find my feet.
I find that there are far too many messianics that have lost sight of our heavenly calling. They have lost their Head (Messiah). No wonder or worship becomes mechanical, our focus inward, and our hearts lost in endless lifeless details.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John 1:17
My Soul נפש & Spirit רוח have been pining for something for quite some time. The heart of Torah is Mercy.
The Lord יהוה has revealed to me His Son back in February 1986 at my conversion. I was baptised in March of the same Year. After 2 years at Elim Pentecostal Church in Dunedin, New Zealand I went to an Open Brethren Church that was much better on the word than Pentecostals but didn't believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit for today. A few years later I got my New Zealand Certificate in Engineering in Electronics and Computer Technology. After 8 years I walked away from the Lord and Church. This was because I couldn't see Him in my life and was hurt by the way some Christians treated me and was hurt that I was still alone without a wife. I had always wanted a wife and family.
Years went by and then after another 8 or 9 years I returned to the Father and had an insatiable desire to study Hebrew, that was the end of 2002. I learnt Hebrew and the Lord revealed to me the role of Torah in my life and how it fitted in with Grace and the New Testament of Yeshua HaMashiach. I visited Israel in 2004 for six months. By 2005 I was reading Hebrew reasonably proficiently and as I read the blessings of Ephraim, the Lord ישוע divinely revealed to me through a download to my spirit the understanding of the 10 lost tribes of the northern House of Israel.
After studying the Torah and living off the grid for many years since, I have gained some more insights from the Torah. I have revealed many of these things on my 10losttribes.com website since 2010.
Which brings me to where I am now.
I have felt an imbalance within my soul. A yearning for things of the Spirit, of the Son, of the Father Heart of God. And I have so much in me that needs purifying despite the study of Torah. I feel that there are some things that Torah study can give me but I have reached a roadblock in my soul.
I have struggled to study Torah for the last year or so in particular. My soul is just not interested in more insights. My Torah study was not bringing me the closeness to the Father that my Heart craved. (It did bring me closer to Him but now I need to get down on my knees and seek his face.) I am told that Yeshua and the Father will make their home in me if...

I am also told...
17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
Colossians 1:17-18
Yeshua as the head of all things under the Father. How I long for the simple joyful faith in Yeshua without the emasculating messianic focus on details. It is so clear to me how far I have strayed from the simplicity of faith in Yeshua.
Messianic Corinthians
I am not saying the following in anger, but with sadness. Yahweh is awakening us to Torah but our flesh has gotten in the way. There is so much in the messianic movement that is dry & carnal. We have begun in the Spirit and too often we end in the flesh, where the letter of the law kills, because our heart is wrong. It's not the fault of the Torah law, it is the fault of the one that focuses on the written word at the expense of the relationship with the living word. We read lots but pray little. Our head is full but our heart is empty and we are filled with the fruits of our fleshy carnality. We are messianic Corinthians.
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 3:1-3
I came across the following criticism of the 'Hebrew Roots Movement' on the net, and to be honest, there is a lot of this bad fruit going on. Of course we all have a lot to learn, but some of the stuff we have to learn is basic decency. Or maybe love is a better word for it, and humility goes along with it.
Is this the purpose of the Torah, to bring bad fruit? God forbid. The Torah is Spiritual, but I am am carnal...
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 7:14
Two men look at the Torah, one man sees Yeshua the other does not. Is this the fault of the Torah? The Torah is a mirror, sheep see the Shepherd, goats see words on a page and an argument. Yes there are things to ponder and discuss, but a carnal man, sold under sin (as we all are), will struggle to find the door. Are we so caught up in our minds with words and arguments, that we have neglected the true state of our heart? Do we truly hunger for the Lord, or merely words about Him? How much time do we spend with Him? We are all busy, some more than others. But are we running on empty? May YHWH bring us into His Presence, and the experience of the Holy Spirit, which lifts Yeshua higher and produces good fruit. Father bring me home to Your House, into Your Presence. Let me experience the cleansing flow of Your Holy Son's precious blood upon my broken, sin stained heart. May Melchizedek be an experience, not just a concept.
Burn up the falsehood within the Messianic movement. Deal with our carnality and smallness of vision and coldness of heart. Let us no longer be bitter against the opposition of Christians that misunderstand us. But let us come under the cleansing flow of the blood of the Lamb. Break the hearts of men and women, and mold them into the image of your Holy Son. We are your Body, the sheep of Your Pasture. Let us see the view from the Cross, the place where we are both crucified with the Messiah, and raised up with Him.
Bad Messianic Fruit, Prayerlessness, Carnality including bitterness, stubbornness, cruelty, anger, hatred, strife, pride. Evil attitudes of unbroken carnal flesh.
I hope to address some of these issues which stem from the heart and cause us to miss the mark of the high calling of Elohim, both individually and corporately.
It's a big task, the hour is late, and I am far from perfect myself. Yahweh יהוה help me אבא Father.
