For, this is a great paradox of history, that HIS own People, who ought to have known full well about HIM (for they had the Holy Scriptures that spoke of HIM), did not know that it was HIM, when HE had come in the flesh! How could they have missed it?
However, before we get too hard on them, let us compare our own time. When Jesus walked among them, the Religious Establishment of HIS day came to HIM and demanded that HE show them a sign in the sky to prove who HE was. Matthew records HIS answer this way:
For, the Religious Establishment of HIS own day had worked out their own pet theories of what they wanted done (and had ignored what God had told them HE was going to do). For, they wanted a POLITICAL Messiah, to deliver them from bondage to the Romans, even as Moses had done with the Egyptians. However, God was sending them a SPIRITUAL Messiah or Christ (the Chief of all High-Priests), to make atonement, permenantly, for ALL of their sins, delivering them from bondage to the Devil (and punishment in Hell after death). But, the work that Christ did was not what the Religious Establishment wanted, so they rejected it!
Are we really any different in our Age?
There are many crazes sweeping through the churches these days. One is asserting this. The other, that. But, have any of them ever discussed the MAJOR sign of Our Times? Truly, we are getting good at weather forcasting. And we are very good at predicting what we want to happen. But, has anyone told you what God is doing today? Probably not, for the Religious Establishment of today is concerned, as always, with what IT wants to have happen, rather than what God is really doing. For, as it was back then, in those Days, so it still is now.
...And Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the Time of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24).
Now in the Six Day War of 1967, the Jews recaptured Jerusalem and liberated it from Gentile control. Thus, by this MAJOR sign, God has declared that the Times of the Gentile Churches has come to an end (Romans 11:25). The Isrealite Return (and Revival of ALL the Tribes) has come! (And the Messianic Movement has already begun.)
Therefore, we are no longer under the Dispensation of the Gentile Church's Age of Grace! Rather, we are entering the New Dispensation of the rising Messianic Kingdom ! The Era of the Israelite ShuVaH or RETURN. (See also Astaria--the Northmen Movement Tomorrow.)
Now is this the only Sign of this? No! If you have been keeping track of the Levitical Calendar, and noting its Spiritual Times, as well as its annual seasons, then you will realize that we have just been through the Spiritual Times of the Feast of Weeks. (For details, see Our Article on Keeping the Calendar in EMUSPATEL.) This set of seven weeks corresponds with the Seven Church Ages, given in the Holy Scriptures (Revelations 2:1-3:22). And, a close analysis of them will show that we have gone through all 7 and are now in the so called Laodicean Age, the Time when God will spue them out of HIS mouth! For, the Time for God's favor upon the Gentile Churches is past. (And, indeed, this was the Main Message of the Jesus Freaks Movement of the early 1970s--following on the heals of the Jews recapturing Jerusalem.)
In addition, the Levitical Calendar shows that after the Seven Weeks, there is Pentecost. And, if you check out the Holy Scriptures, you find that there are 3 major events that happened on this day: 1-the Ten Commandments and the Laws of God were given to the People, 2-the Tribes of Israel were formed into the Nation of Israel after the Exodus from Egypt, 3-the Holy Ghost was given in an Outpouring upon the early Believers. Now, what have been the 3 Main Religious Movements of Our Past Century? 1-the Holiness Movement (bringing the Laws of God to the People for them to follow), 2-the Zionist Movement (resulting in the formation of the Jewish State in the Holy Land in 1948 A.D.), 3-the Pentecostal Movement (spreading a new wave of the Outpouring of the Holy Ghost). (As we discussed, in the last Article on Our Roots.) Truly, we are at Pentecost, in the Spiritual Seasons of God's Calendar!
Thus, there should be no question as to the Times that we are living in! The Times of the Gentile Churches (and their Dispensation) has come to an end. But, then, what is to take their place in God's favor? (The rising Messianic Kingdom, of course!) So, let's see.
In Our Days, God's favor is changing. In Days before the Messiah, God used to look with favor upon the Synagogue (for there HIS Faithful followers would gather). But, after the Ascension of Christ (and the beginning of the Middle Ages), God's favor fell upon the Gentile Churches (though HE did not totally forget the Synagogue). However, today, as we have seen above, HIS favor is departing from the Gentile Churches. Instead, the Holy Scriptures have this to declare of HIS Will for Our Days:
Thou [God] shall arise and have mercy upon Zion [Jews - Israelites], for the Time to favor her, yea, the set time, is come! (Psalms 102:13)
Correspondingly, on the heels of the Jesus Freaks Movement has come the Messianic Movement (of Jewish-Christians). And, not since the days of the Apsotles have so many Jews been swept into the Belief that Jesus or Y'Shua was, indeed, their Messiah! This is referred to as the ShuVaH (Hebrew) or simply as THE RETURN. And, by the way that the movement is spreading, there should be little doubt that God's favor is, indeed, returning to the Jews (Zechariah 8:23). And God's favor and blessings are being poured out upon the Holy People of Israel (Hosea 14:4-7)! For, it is God's Time to favor her.
However, now that the Jews are undergoing Revival and Returning to God in the ShuVaH, they are claiming that they are the ONLY true Israel. Consequently, it is beginning to be taught by in the Messianic Movement that ONLY Jews can participate in the ShuVaH or RETURN. Thus, as in the days of the Apostles, when Judaizers went out, claiming that Gentiles could not participate in the Salvation or Atonement of the Cross, God revealed to Peter the error of that thinking (Acts 10:9-35), and called Paul to Preach the Cross to the Gentiles. Yet, despite these obvious Scriptural teachings, many are trying to teach that the those of the Messianic Movement MUST become more Jewish than the normal Jews, in order to be acceptable!
Thus, at a time when God's favor is departing from the Gentile Churches, many Gentiles (or even Jews that are not Jewish enough) are being shut out of the ShuVaH! And Jewish ethnocentrism is raising its ugly head as a block to the spread of THE GREATER ISRAELITE RETURN. So, the question becomes: Are the Gentiles included in the ShuVaH?
This question is almost laughable! For, the Holy Scriptures are so full of examples of God's kindness upon the Gentiles and HIS desire to see them brought into HIS Kingdom, that we simply could not list them all here! God is a God of ALL Peoples!!! But, for arguments sake, let us turn to a few. God describes the Gentiles coming back to HIM in THE RETURN of the Tribes (Isaiah 60:3-11). And God says that HE will reveal HIMSELF to the Gentiles in THE RETURN (Jeremiah 16:19-21). Moreover, Y'Shua or Jesus tells us that Believing Gentiles will come and join the Believing Jews in the rising Messianic Kingdom (Matthew 8:10-12). Thus, no one should seriously doubt Gentile participation in the ShuVaH or GREATER ISRAELITE RETURN.
God foretells that mutiple Tribes of Israel will return in the ShuVaH, bringing with them many Gentiles (Isaiah 63:16-17). Moreover, both Israel (the 10 Lost Tribes) and Judah (the Jews) are to be called back to God in the RETURN (Jeremiah 3:18 and 22 and Hosea 1:10-11). And, that the divison between Judah (Jews) and Israel (Lost 10 Tribes) will cease in the RETURN (Ezekiel 37:15-22). And the split between the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah will end! Thus, not only are ALL the Tribes to be restored (NOT just Judah or the Jews), but as they RETURN to God, they will bring an abundance of Gentiles with them, especially from among the Nordic Peoples or Northern Nations! (What could be plainer?)
But why should this be so?
Now, as in all issues and controversies, it is good to turn back to the Holy Scriptures, and see what God has to say about the subject. There, we find that in the reign of Rehoboam, King Solomon's son, that the United Monarchy was split into two: the NORTHERN Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah (I Kings 12:18-20). Now, the modern Jews are descended from the Southern Kindgom of Judah, and while a part of Israel, they might be more accurately described as Judea (those of the Tribe of Judah). And as such, they are still around with us today, as a People or a distinctive ethnic group--Nation.
So, what happened to the Northern Kingdom of Israel? Well, they were all supposedly Lost! Or, are they?
As we have traced earlier (in our Article on NORDIC Antiquities.), while the 10 Tribes of Israel are suppose to be Lost, there are dim records and scrapes of traces in history that give a fair indication of what happened to most of them. As we just said above, the NORTHERN Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrians (II Kings 15:29), and the masses of the Israelites were hauled off as slaves to the area around Ninevah (II Kings 17:6). There, they were inter-mingled with the Descendants of Keturah, Abraham's concubine (Genesis 25:1-6 and I Chronicles 1:32-33), where they formed into a New Peoples, the GahTSK or Northern Peoples of God (Goths). And from there, they then migrated Northward, up the Rivers of Russia and Eastern Europe to settle in the Baltic Region and Scandinavia, as the various branches of the Goths (or Svear), by Classical Times. There, in the Dark Ages, they became the Northmen, Norsemen, Vikings, or Varangians, and spread out over Feudal Europe--and then the World!
Thus, it should be clear that MOST of the Tribes of Israel are NOT totally lost! Rather, the Nordic Peoples (or Northern Nations) seem to be the MAIN branch (not the ONLY branch) of the Descendants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel! (This concept is refered to as Nordanity: the belief in a Nordic or NORTHMEN Israel.)
Unfortunately, there are several Cults out there, who hold to something of this concept. Either that, or they just simply claim to be the ONLY true Jews (the rest are supposedly demonic fakes), and thus the ONLY true spiritual Israel. However, these tend to be anti-Semitic, if not out right White Supremists or Neo-Nazi (in an extreme form of Replacement Theology)!
Consequently, we encourage Jews to join Our Realm as members of the Tribe of Judah (retaining their Jewishness, rather than being stripped of it). And, in turn, for the Gentiles to come back into the other Tribes of Israel (recognizing their Hebrew Heritage), that we may all be ONE! Here, among us, Jews should work together with Christians in restoring Our Mediavel World (Our Judeo-Christian Heritage, composed of both Jewish (or Hebrew) and Christian History and Culture). Thus, Gentile Christians should learn to be appreciative of the rich Hebrew Heritage from which they sprung! (And, we will even include the Arabs, as our brothers in Abraham, through Ishmael, in our Realm, for their own place.) Thus, by Unity of the Faithful, Jews and Christians (and Arabs--Muslims) working together, the Isrealite RETURN will come to pass.
However, these are not the Only Scriptures. For God more than clearly reveals HIS Plan in HIS Word. The Nordic RETURN is discussed in Jeremiah 16:14-15, 23:7-8, 31:7-9, 50:41; Zechariah 2:6, 11. The Regathering of Nordic Families (Clans, Tribes) to God is mentioned in Jeremiah 1:15. The Nordic Revival or Outpouring of God's Spirit is promised in Jeremiah 47:2 and Ezekial 20:47-48. The Rising of a New God-fearing Nordic Nation (Astaria or KoReY) is foretold in Jeremiah 6:22, 13:20, 50:9, 50:41 and Zechariah 6:1-15. The Unity of the Jews (and the Southern Kingdom of Judah) with the Israelites (and the Nordic or Northern Kingdom of Israel) is given in Jeremiah 50:2-4, not to mention the Unity of Jews with the Nordic Assyrians and even the Ishmaelites or Arabs (Isaiah 19:23-25). And the rise of a Nordic High-King over all the Northern Nations (Astaria) is foretold in Isaiah 41:25 and Zechariah 6:8-15. So, as you can see, God has set forth quite an extensive Plan for the Greater Israelite RETURN--and a Plan including the Nordic Return of the Northern Peoples or Nations!
So, don't play deaf. Open your ears. And hear the cry of God's Heart for the Northern Nations, today!
However, we can summarize its main focus into basically 3 simple, goals:
These goals are not grevious nor outlandish. And we hope that you will join us, and become a NaRTaN or Nartan, a Northman of the NORDESEL (the modern Northern Peoples of God). And we tend to use the term Meshianite to describe us. For Messianics tend to see themselves as Jewish FIRST and Christians second, whereas we see ourselves as Christians FIRST and as Hebrews (and Nordics) second. And, it is a distinction that produces many notable differences!
Now, truly, the Nordic Return is the Move of God for Our Times! Don't miss out on it. RETURN with the other Northern Peoples to God!
Heed the cry of God's heart for the Northern Nations, today!
ARE YOU READY?
Now that you basically know what we are all about, it is time to
seriously consider what you should do. Quite obviously, we wish
you to come with us back to God. But, that is a decision that you
will have to make, on your own. All we can do is point the way.
So, how do I get back to God? How do I RETURN? It is easy! Just repeat the following prayer, aloud (so that God will know that you agree with it). It forms a kind of Covenant, that you will RETURN to God and HIS Ways, so that HE will RETURN to you and your life. As such, it is a kind of Mediavel Social Contract or homage to God, with you as HIS vassal.
CONGRATULATIONS!
If you have just said that above prayer, then you are now RETURNING
to God! (Or as some may say: BORN AGAIN or SAVED.) And, with the
other Northern Peoples of God, you are making your way back to HIM.
However, this is not an end, but a beginning. For, to fully RETURN to God (and attain Heaven) is often a lenghty process. One that you need help for. And, that is what we are here for, to help you on your way back to God. So, make use of our materials and services. We are here to assist you. But, only if you ask!
So, be sure to contact us--especially if you have just been RENEWED by the above prayer!!! You can reach us at:
