Nazarene
Israel (NATSARIM
YISRAEL) Followers
of Yahusha of
Natsarith.
These are those
He has chosen, and
written His Torah on
their hearts.
(Yahusha is the
real Name of
Israel's Mashiach,
undefiled by Greek).
READ
Rev. 14, which
describes the "first-fruits",
and
ask yourself:
WHICH
GROUP ARE YOU A
CITIZEN OF?
(IN THE EYES OF THE
CREATOR, YAHUAH)
"obey
the Commandments of
Elohim AND hold
to the Testimony of
Yahusha".
Group
#1:
There are those who
are born in
the Covenant
(Torah) yet don't
believe that
Yahusha is the
Mashiach;
these are usually
called
"Jews" by
modern terminology.
As long as they
observe the Covenant,
they are "ISRAEL".
They don't "hold
to the Testimony of
Yahusha",
so they are not
"first-fruits"
- but because
of the Covenant
they are ISRAEL.
Group
#2: There are
those who "hold
to the Testimony of
Yahusha",
but DON'T
observe the Commandments
of Yahuah (the
Covenant, or Torah).
They feel that
simply "believing"
is all that is
necessary --
anything beyond that
is attempting to
"save"
themselves.
They are also taught
that the "Old
Covenant"
(Commandments) were
"done
away", or "nailed
to the cross",
and that only
"Jews"
have to obey the
Covenant, the 10
Commandments.
They feel they are
"spiritual
Israel" through
their belief
in Yahusha.
Because of this,
they are victims of
"Replacement
Theology", and
we can see clearly
that this group is
not the "first-fruits"
spoken of at Rev. 14
either. But,
most dangerously,
because they don't
observe the
Covenant, they are
NOT ISRAEL, and
therefore are not in
any "Covenant
relationship"
with Yahuah in any
way -- although they
are taught that they
are. They
don't "obey
the Commandments of
Elohim",
therefore they
cannot be ISRAEL.
Ephesians 2 explains
that we become
citizens of Israel
through the
Covenant, and
Yahusha is the Mediator
of it, writing it
upon our hearts.
This group must
continue to believe
in Yahusha,
and ENGRAFT into
ISRAEL by observing
the Commandments of
Yahuah,
as He wrote them.
Group
#3: Those who
"obey
the Commandments of
Elohim AND hold
to the Testimony of
Yahusha"
are the "first-fruits",
and are called
Natsarim
(watchmen, branches),
or Nazarene Israel.
"foreigners"
are "formerly
Gentiles in the
flesh";
but when they
believe AND
obey, they become
ISRAEL --
they are NO LONGER
GENTILES.
The Creator designed the
menorah; it is not of this Earth. The design was
shown to Mosheh.
Who
are these people
called Israel?
Put
in the simplest
possible terms, ISRAEL
is
any being
that observes the Torah
of Yahuah. It is not so much a religion, but
rather a relationship.
This
is an area where
"foreigners"
as well as
"Israelites"
are both more than a
little skewed in
their thinking.
The primary test to
evaluate a person
being of Israel has
been misplaced,
causing people to
think there is some group
of individuals who
are
"automatically"
Israel determined by
their bloodlines.
People are looking
for bloodlines; but
that has very
little to do with it.
If a person
discharges
themselves from
obeying the Torah
(Covenant, Ten
Declarations), they
are no longer Israel
- they're cut
off from their
people (Israel).
All the tribes that
were once Israel
were dispersed into
the nations -
the 10 tribes of
Northern Israel
(Samaria,
"Samaritans"
House
of Israel) were
carried away into
captivity by Assyria
in 722 B.M.E.
(Before Messianic
Era), never to
return until the
last days.
Then, about 136
years later, in 586
B.M.E., the Southern
tribes (House
of Yahudah)
were taken to Babel.
No more than 10% of
these returned as a
"remnant",
so at least 90% of
these were
permanently
assimilated into the
nations of the
world, just as Amos
9:9 tells us.
The re-gathering
of
the house of Israel
and the house of
Yahudah was promised
at Jer. chapters 3
& 31 (and many
other texts), but
hardly understood;
and it's happening
now in these last
days. Ezek. 37
and YermeYahu 3
describes it very
well, as does Eph. 3
and Acts 15.
If you read Yesha
Yahu (Isaiah) 56,
you'll find that
when a
"foreigner"
who is not of Israel joins
to
Yahuah through the
Torah
(Covenant,
Brith), they
are Israel.
The
"10
Declarations/Commandments"
are
that Covenant;
without this there
is no fellowship
with Yahuah, nor
with Israel.
People think they
can disqualify
whoever they
want, but they have
no authority to
determine who is
going to obey the
Covenant!
That's why it's so
dangerous to listen
to people who teach
that
"Gentiles"
don't have to
observe certain
Commands, such as
the Sabbath Day;
it's not their
Sabbath, it's
Yahuah's Sabbath.
It's the sign of the
everlasting
Covenant!
(Ezek. 20:12-20, Ex.
31:13-17, Hebrews
4).
Israel
is the bride or wife
of Yahuah
And
those who are Israel
keep the Covenant of
Yahuah.
Because of this
Covenant, they are a
nation of priests (KOHENIM). The
observance
of the Torah,
or Covenant,
determines who is
Israel, and those
who do not observe
it are not Israel.
If you stop
observing Torah, you
are no longer
Israel. But if
a stranger down the
street begins to
observe the Torah,
then they become
Israel, even if they
were formerly a
circumambulating
snake-tail-rattling
moon-dancing witch
doctor.
The 10 Declarations of Yahuah are to be
taught to all the
nations through the
priesthood of
Israel.
Israel is a nation
of priests
whose function
is to teach the rest
of the nations the
Torah of Yahuah, but
the best this nation
has done thus far is
preserve
the Torah;
they are just now
beginning to
understand the
mission.
Those who return to
the Covenant are
Israel, regardless
of their bloodlines.
YeshaYahu 56
explains that the
Covenant, with the
sign of the Sabbath,
will determine everything
- no
"foreigner"
who keeps Yahuah's
Covenant will remain
a foreigner, but
will be counted
among Yahuah's
people, Israel.
In fact, a foreigner
that begins to study
and keep Yahuah's
Covenant is no
longer a foreigner,
but they become
fellow citizens in
the commonwealth of
Israel, so says Eph.
2.
If we are constantly
trying to figure out
who is Israel by
some other means
than who is obeying
the Ten Declarations,
we'll be perpetually
confused. It's
Yahusha's work to
re-gather His lost
sheep, and identify
them; we could
not possibly do it.
If a person is
called to the
Covenant, they
are Israel
- with or
without any man's
approval of it being
so. The
calling of Yahusha
must not be brought
into question.
The Covenant
determines who is
Israel, not a
person's father and
mother. I know
this view will not
be generally
acceptable to large
populations and
religiously
structured
institutions, but it
is the
Scriptural view.
These "two
houses" of
Israel are described
in the parable of
the Prodigal Son.
The two sons
represent the two
houses; one
left the Covenant
while the other did
not. The
returning son in the
parable represents
the lost tribes -
all of them -
returning to the
Covenant in the last
days.
The
"bread" in
the Father's House
is the Covenant
- the Ten
Declarations.
The famine of
Yahuah's Word was
prophesied (Amos
8:11-14).
The
bread we live by is
Torah. We
cannot have life
without the
Covenant, and we
must feed the
nations with it.
We are the priests
of Israel, and
preserve the
knowledge of the
Covenant and teach
it to all
nations.
If a being from outside
the Earth came to
live with us, and
kept the Covenant,
that being would be
of Israel too.
It's not about who we
are, or where we
come from;
it's only about our
relationship to
Yahuah through
His Torah,
the Covenant.
Read
YermeYahu (Jer.)
31 carefully.
Nazarene
Israel is
a special group
within Israel;
with Yahusha, they
are the first
fruits.
These seek to
"obey the
Commandments of
Elohim AND hold to
the Testimony of
Yahusha"
- and are very
few relative to the
population of the
world. READ
Rev. 14, which
describes the "first-fruits",
and ask yourself if
you "obey the
Commandments of
Elohim AND hold to
the Testimony of
Yahusha".
Israel's primary
objective is to
obey the
Covenant
(Brith),
or 10 Declarations, and
teach these
instructions to the
rest of mankind, so
there will be
knowledge of the
true Creator (Yahuah). Israel
is the
"wife" or
"bride" of
Yahuah, and the 10
Declarations
represent the
Covenant between
Yahuah and Israel;
this
makes the
relationship a
marriage between
them.
This Covenant is
referred to as the
"TORAH",
a
Hebrew
word
meaning instruction.
No
other nation
but Israel
has any Covenant
relationship with
Yahuah, so in order
to enter into one, the
outsider or
foreigner must obey
the same Covenant,
and join or "engraft"
into Israel.
The
Mediator of the re-newed
Covenant with Israel
is
Yahusha
ha'Mashiach.
He
is not a
founder of a
"new
religion"
(way), but He is the
One Who created all
things; and He
has established a renewal
of the Covenant, cut
in His Own blood, to
redeem Israel from
their transgressions
of that Covenant.
He
did not alter the
Covenant;
instead He actively
writes it
on the hearts of His
people, Israel.
When
anyone
--- whether they are
native-born Israel
or not ---
wants to partake of
the re-newed
Covenant, they
must be convicted of their
transgressions
(realize they have
not kept the
Covenant), and repent
(turn back to
the Covenant), and be
immersed
in the Name of
Yahusha of
Natsarith for the
remission of their
sins.
This
immersion is the
"Brith",
when an individual
cuts the Covenant
with their Maker,
identifying with the
death and burial
of the Messiah,
Yahusha.
It also is their
circumcision, done
by Yahusha in their
hearts, causing them to
love the Torah
because He writes a
love for it on their
hearts.
The immersion in
water is the moment
of salvation for
the person, as the 8
beings survived who
went through the
waters of the Great
Flood, and as Israel
went through the
waters of the Yam
Suph fleeing
Pharaoh. We
pronounce our belief
in Yahusha's
atoning blood, and
promise to obey
His Torot
(teachings,
instructions).
If we do not obey,
we will be condemned
on the last day.
Then,
and only then, are
we under the blood
of the Covenant.
At the moment of
immersion, we become
Israel,
whether others say
so or not.
Our
Covenant is a bond
between us and
Yahusha, and no
organization of men
on this Earth can
effect this in the
least.
We
are members of the
commonwealth of
Israel, not
Christians (that's
Greek, sorry).
We aren't Baptists, 7th
day Adventists,
Catholics, or
Lutherans. You
name it, we're not
that. We
aren't practicing
"Judaism"; we
practice the Torah
of Yahuah
- and only
that.
Sorry, no Talmud
either.
No additions,
omissions, or blends
allowed.
Love
Him, and keep His
Commandments -
Israel is a nation
that will one day
fill the Earth, and
outsiders will
not be found.
Sorry, no Hindu,
Muslim, Catholic,
Adept, Athiest, or
any who practice a
lie will be found.
We
don't say so, Yahuah
says so.
Read Revelation
chapters 21 &
22, then read
"Isaiah"
56.
You've
been lied to ~ believe
it.

the word NATSARITH,

The more accurate
sound for
"Nazarene"
is NATSAR, and the
plural form,
NATSARIM.
Being a descendant
of one of the tribes
of Israel means your
lineage is of the
"natural
branches", but
to be counted among
Israel of Yahuah,
you have to be in
the Covenant
relationship.
Unnatural branches
may
"engraft"
into Israel, and
become the same as
those who are
native-born.
There is to be no
distinction made
between them
-- there's
only ONE body.
You don't need any
man or organization;
you only need to
enter into the
Covenant with
Yahusha!
Believe, AND obey!

SPECIAL
NOTE FROM LEW WHITE:
Nazarene
Israel Book --
Concerning the many
copies of this book
we have distributed
in the past:
Norman
Willis has requested
that we eliminate
the remaining 1st
editions of his
book, Nazarene
Israel.
It can still be
found
"used"
through www.amazon.com,
however we no longer
carry it.
We have distributed
over 8500 copies of
it, so there should
be an ample supply
of them for many
years to come
on-line from people
who are willing to
sell them to you.
While
we think this is a very
good
teaching tool, our
ministry differs
with Mr. Willis'
position on
circumcision of the
flesh for ADULT
males, which he
recommends in this
book; however
newborn males should
be circumcised since
this is an
everlasting command.
From
myjewishlearning.com
we get a glimpse of
the
"tradition"
vs. the Torah on
circumcision:
"Actually,
there is no explicit
commandment in the
Torah requiring
circumcision (or
immersion) for
proselytes [although
this requirement is
certainly implied in
the text, for
example, in the
story of Dina and
Shechem in Genesis
34]. The
Talmud--the Oral
Law--is where the
laws and debates
about initiation
rites are
found."
Perhaps
Yahusha, knowing
this initiation into
the renewed
Covenant needed to
be contrasted with
the Oral Law's
method, making it
simple for the adult
proselytes. He
certainly had the
authority to
establish the
immersion as the
outward sign.
The former outward
sign, physical
circumcision,
concerned the LAND
promised to the
offspring of
Abraham, it never
involved eternal
life. In the
re-newed Covenant,
the hands of men
have nothing to do
with it; it's
the work of Messiah Yahusha, Who
circumcises our
inward parts.
He already did all
the bleeding that
will ever be
necessary, so we
trust in HIS work,
not ours. He
will re-gather all
of Israel. It
is Him, not us,
joining the two
sticks (Ez. 37) into
one stick in
HIS hand -
we can only
cooperate in what He
is doing.
Some want to use
their arm of flesh
to return to the
land of Israel
prematurely - but
Yahusha is in His
people even now,
living in His
Temple, where ever
they may be.
We, Israel, have a
mission to the
nations where we are
for now. We
can do nothing
without Him; and if
we go against
what He is doing, or
try to do what WE
think needs to be
done, we will not
succeed.
Physical
circumcision of
ADULT males is
sometimes taught by
various Messianic
teachers. We
differ on this
teaching, but don't
consider this topic
to be a threat to
one's salvation
-- reading Acts 15
should clear it up.
But, if you need
more to study on
this issue, please
