Now, how did this all come about in recent times? And why should it be happening, today? Well, that is what we will discuss here.
Only, first, let's get a little background on Biblical Prophecy and the Plans and Purpose that God has set forth in His Holy Scriptures.
Another place where HIS whole Grand Plan is laid out is in the Holy Scriptures, where it is even fully summarized in the Levitical Calendar (Leviticus ch. 23 and Deuteronomy ch. 16). A close study shows that each Hebrew Feast Day is a significant spiritual event in the time table of God's Plan. (This is also more clearly detailed in Our Article on KEEPING THE CALENDAR.) Correspondingly, if you count it out, you will find that we are now at ShaVuhoT or the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). So, is it any wonder then, that there have been 3 major Religious Movements in Our Past Century- -corresponding to the 3 main events that happend on the Day of Pentecost? So, what is happening, here? Foreshadowing? Yes, God has it all Planned.
Now, Scripturally, this was foreshadowed or paralleled at Pentecost by the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai (and the Israelites pledging to follow it).
And, Scripturally, this was foreshadowed at Pentecost by the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt--and their return to the Promised Land (forming the New Independant Nation of Isreal in the Wilderness).
Unfortunately, Parnham seems to have lost sight of that vision, and his followers began to develop concepts of racism, white supremacy, and other Scriptural errors (which Our Realm does NOT want to take up). And from this errant branch has grown the modern Christian Identity Movement--which we want no part of (except, perhaps, to share their earlier Pentecostal Movement's vision).
BRANCH of ASSEMBLIES of GOD (Sub-Movement):
In response to Parnham's followers rising errors, and to gain some
organization to the exploding Pentecostal Movement, the Assemblies of
God was formed, establishing 16 major doctines as the unifying factor
of all the Pentecostal Assemblies. However, as time has passed, these
have mostly cooled in their zeal and all too often slide into seeking
respectability and developing main-line style churches (though, with
more modern music).
BRANCH of CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT (Sub-Movement):
Around World War II, the Pentecostal Movement had gained enough
attention and acceptance, that some of the major traditional churches
began to embrace some of its componets. And the drive to make
Pentecostalism respectable was on! So, many abdondoned its earlier
message of forming new Hebrew Assemblies outside of the formal,
traditional stucture of the Gentile Churches, and turned, instead, to
the Charismatic Movement (to stay within the traditional churches).
But, as time has progressed, the major churches have come to frown more
and more on activities of the Charismatic Movement! (And Charismatics
now are generally made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed.)
BRANCH of FULL GOSPEL MOVEMENT (Sub-Movement):
In the 50's and 60s. sensing that something was not quite right, a
variety of Full Gospel reformers tried to get the Pentecostal Movement
back on track. However, they seemed unclear as to vision and purpose-
-and were rather sporadic and isolated. Even worse, what organizations
were formed by them, simply slid into the path taken by the cooling
Charismatic Movement (a return to the traditional Gentile Church).
Scripturally, this OUTPOURING in Our Times was foreshadowed in the Manifestation of the Holy Ghost in the Days of the Book of Acts (Pentecost). And, lets us know that the NORDIC OUTPOURING is coming!
FOURTH, in 1967 the Jews recaptured Jerusalem, giving a clear sign that we have now left the Ages of the Gentile Churches and are now moving into the rising of the Messianic Kingdom Dispensation (Luke 21:24 and Romans 11:25). Consequently, in the early 1970s, there arose the Jesus Freak Movement to Revive the youth of America and carry the central message that we had entered into this new spiritual era. And, in keeping with the Israelite emphasis, there also arose at this time, a number of Messianic (Jewish-Christian) groups to make Jews aware of their True Messiah (Y'Shua or Jesus). And, as a result, Jews are now being RETURNED to God (or ShuVaH) in record numbers via their Messiah or Christ, such that has not been seen since the days of the 12 Apostles and the Book of Acts! (For more details on this Messianic Movement, consult Our Literature in Our EMUSPATEL Section.)
Thus, this was truly a glorious past century!
FIFTH, is what we refer to as the NORTHMEN MOVEMENT or the Viking Revival (NORDESEL). For, it is Time, now, for a Holy Israel to RETURN back to God from among the Northern Nations or basically from the Descendants of the Vikings (Northmen or Nordics). The main Bible Prophecy concerning this is:
Thus, according to Bible Propehcy, it is time for the Descendants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel to be RETURNED to God, just as the Descendants of the Southern Kingdom of Judah (or Jews) have been RETURNED to God (and Christ) in the past few decades (Ezekiel 37:15-22) by the Messianic Movement or the ShuVaH (Return) of Jewish-Christians.
However, in Assyria, at that time, the Descendants of Keturah, Abraham's concubine, had settled. And they bought of these slaves and readily mixed with the Israelites (forming a new Peoples of God or the Goths). And from there, these Northern Peoples of God moved Northward to the North Coast of the Black Sea and the Crimean, where they soon spread up the Rivers of Russia and Eastern Europe to the Baltic Region and Scandinavia. There they became the Northern Goths or GahTSK, which soon became our Vikings or Nordic Peoples. And from Scandinavia, they spread in conquest over most of Northern Europe, Russia (and Asia), America, and beyond. Thus, the Nordic Peoples (or Northern Nations) are clearly the main branch of Descendants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel--yet, not the only branch. (This concept or Teaching of Ours is referred to as Nordanity or the belief in a Nordic or Northern Hebrew Israel. For more details on on, see Our Article on NORDIC ANTIQUITIES.)
Thus, we are to take the Core Teachings of the Judeo-Christian Faith: the Full Gospel and the Messianic Movement to the Nordic Peoples (or Northern Nations)--and those who wish to be associated with them. And, in so doing, to build a Divine Culture, based on the God-fearing Mediavel World, especially that of the GahTSK or very early Vikings (Northmen). For these, in turn, were based on God's Law and the 10 Commandments. Because this is God's Plan and Purpose for Our Days.
Therefore, as we are growing out of the Messianic Movement, and becoming God's New Work for Our Times, we also draw on the 3 previous Major Movements, which serve as Our Roots!
So, who are we, then? Jews? Christians? Something else?
Now, many of the original Messianics (or Jewish-Christians) began with a vision similiar to Parnham's--regathering a Holy Israel from among Americans. And building separate congreations or assemblies that would stand in the gap between Gentile Church and Jewish Synagogue, thus serving as a bridge of understanding between them both.
But in recent times, the Movement is slipping more and more into the old error of the Judaizers, with some now even insisting that Messianics MUST become more Jewish than the Jews (in order to be acceptable to the rest of the Synagogue community). Even worse, some are claiming a kind of ethnic superiority, that the Messianic Movement can only be for Jews, to Jews, and by Jews.
Obviously, we, as Hebrews and Northern Peoples (a mixed racial group) see this as nonsense! The Messianic Movement is for ALL the Descendants of Abraham (not just Jews). Consequently, we tend to view ourselves as MeSheYaNiyTs or Meshianites: Christian-Hebrews, for we intend to keep our lives centered on the Messiah and Christ first and then enjoy the rich Heritage and Culture of our Hebrew ROOTS, secondly.
Moreover, in so doing, we incorperate the 3 previous Major Movements of God into Our Teachings and Outreaches:
1. ZIONIST MOVEMENT - Jeiwsh Heritage and
Holy Scriptures:
As to Our Hebrew Roots and Jewish Culture, we do hold to and teach the
TeNaKhT or Tanach (Old Testament) and the BReyT QahDaShah (New
Testament) as did Y'Shua or Jesus (Matthew 13:52), but we do not
promote the Talmud (or the Old Oral Law and its more traditional Jewish
customs). Moreover, being Hebrew Peoples (and Descendansts of Abraham),
as well as fellow Israelites (Northern Kingdom), we are very
Philo-Semitic and open to the Scriptural parts of the Jewish Culture
(and its common Hebrew Heritage with us)--rather than being
anti-Semitic (or Aryan, or Neo-Nazi, or Christian Identity, etc.). We
are, indeed, the missing link between the Jewish Synagogue and the
Gentile Church. And we intend to stand (and stay) in that GAP!
2. PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENT - The Full Gospel:
And, in the same vein, as descendants of the Pentecostal Movement, we
are focusing on spreading the Full Gospel, which holds that the GOOD
NEWS about Y'Shua or the Christ has two parts: A-the atonement (for
the forgiveness of Sins) by Y'shua's or Jesus' blood on the Cross and
then B-the Charismatic "Gifts" (Manifestations of the Holy Ghost) today,
for Believers. Yes, should this be surprizing, as we have also grown
out of the Pentecostal Movement and the later Charismatic Movement, for
it was the original vision and spark (under Parnham) to Revive and
Regather a Holy Israel, here in America? Now, we need to take that
Spiritual Fire and rekindle the Northern Nations with it so that they
will make their own ShuVaH or RETURN to God. THE NORDIC OUTPOURING IS
COMING!!! (And, we now seek to rebuild a Mediavel Realm of a Northern
Israel among ALL the Northern Peoples, which is God's Heart's desire
for Our Times! And the reason why HE has given us the Holy Ghost anew
in Our Days.)
3. HOLINESS MOVEMENT - Following God's Law:
Furthermore, because of Our Roots in the Holiness Movement, we
promote and encourage people to follow God's Laws. And most especially
to keep and follow the 10 Commandments, for they are the summary of
God's Laws. And, if possible, to keep as many of the Scriptural
regulations related to the 10 Commandments as they can. For, this will
sanctify and consecrete Our People for God's use. And rekindle the
Divine Culture of the Nordic Mediavel World in Our Days!
So, join us! And let's get at it!
