Jeremiah 23:3, 7\u20138. The Second Exodus of the End Times.<\/strong> The Bible clearly teaches that the ten tribes of the ancient northern kingdom of Israel (known biblically by various names such as the house of Israel<\/em>, Samaria<\/em> or Ephraim<\/em>) were exiled among the nations of the world because of sin. At the same time, the biblical prophets and Jewish sages over the past 2000 years have predicted that in the end times (at the coming of the Messiah), through a series of supernatural events, these tribes will be regathered and return to the land of Israel to be reunited with their Jewish brethren who are descended from the southern kingdom of Judah. Furthermore, there is clear biblical and historical evidence that the ten northern tribes of Israel collectively known as Ephraim<\/em> are largely to be found among the Christian peoples scattered across the earth. I have attempted to prove this point from biblical, linguistic, archeological, historical and rabbinic Jewish sources in a previous work.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In these last days before Messiah\u2019s second coming, more and more redeemed believers in Yeshua (the Hebrew name for Jesus<\/em>) are discovering a new-found love for the Jewish people and the land of Israel. At the same time, they are awakening to the need to return to the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith by adhering to a more Torah-centered lifestyle and spiritual walk. It then follows that some are coming to the fundamental truth taught numerous places in the Testimony of Yeshua (the more biblically accurate name for the \u201cNew Testament\u201d) that born-again believers are<\/em> actually redeemed Israelites and are either the literal biological or are the \u201cgrafted in\u201d descendants of Abraham. As such, many are beginning to see that the numerous promises YHVH (the LORD) made to Abraham and his descendants apply to them\u2014especially the promises that the land of Israel is an important aspect of their promised future inheritance. With these revelations often comes a new-found zeal and enthusiasm about returning to the land of Israel. For many, it is a question of not if<\/em>, but \u201cwhen<\/em> do we return?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ephraim\u2019s Return to the Land of Israel Is a Fundamental Truth of the Torah<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the very words of YHVH Elohim (the LORD God) dictated to and written down by Moses, the Torah (the biblical books of Genesis through Deuteronomy) is the bedrock of biblical truth upon which the rest of biblical revelation is founded. This is the place to begin when discussing the timing of Ephraim\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

In Jewish thought, Deuteronomy 30:1\u201310 is the embryo from which all the other scriptures discussing Ephraim\u2019s return are birthed. Here YHVH promises to gather Israel from all the nations where he has scattered them (because of spiritual apostasy), and he promises to return them to the land of Israel. This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled, and nor is it referring to the Jewish captives who returned from their 70 years exile in Babylonian, since the term \u201call nations\u201d is used in this prophecy. The ancient empire of Babylon is not<\/em> \u201call nations\u201d!<\/p>\n

Here is the prophecy in its entirety:<\/p>\n

And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, whither YHVH your Elohim has driven you<\/strong>, and shall return unto YHVH your Elohim, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul; that then YHVH your Elohim will turn your captivity, and have compassion upon you, and will return and gather you from all the nations, wherever YHVH your Elohim has scattered you.<\/strong> If any of you be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will YHVH your Elohim gather you, and from thence will he fetch you: and YHVH your Elohim will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it;<\/strong> and he will do you good, and multiply you above your<\/p>\n

fathers. And YHVH your Elohim will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love YHVH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live. And YHVH your Elohim will put all these curses upon your enemies, and on them that hate you, which persecuted you. And you shall return and obey the voice of YHVH, and do all his commandments which I command you this day. And YHVH your Elohim will make you plenteous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good: for YHVH will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers: if you shall hearken unto the voice of
\n<\/a>YHVH your Elohim, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if you turn unto YHVH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul. (emphasis added)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
