The return of the Messiah
Has the Messiah come?
Will He ever return?
This has got to be the most important thing on the mind of the "Church" at this time.
Have we missed something?
Will there really be a particular day when the Lord Jesus comes in the bodily form?
Could it be that the bodily form that He will come in is the person in the mirror. Could the only thing standing in the way of the return of the King of kings, be me and you?
When the disciples asked Yeshua/Jesus to show them the kingdom, He replied, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you."
John 14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it will be enough for us." 9 Yeshua replied to him, "Have I been with you so long without your knowing me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, `Show us the Father'?
So if Yeshua is living in your heart assuming you have accepted him as your Adonai Elohim, your personal Lord and Savior, then He; the Kingdom of Heaven lives in you.
Therefore if we love the L-rD and walk in His Teaching and Instruction/Torah we are going to begin to see peace/shalom manifest in the present.
Imagine for a moment that everybody loved the word so much that we returned to the cultural identity of the people called by His name; El. Y'israel.
If you can visualize a culture of people rather than a religion when you see Yeshua/Jesus maybe then we can visualize ourselves walking and behaving more like our Savior and Messiah and less like the dry branches of Religion.
The Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, Son of God and Son of Man are all Supreme Messianic Terms for the name of G-d. Our Elohim has written a constitution on how His kingdom is to be operated.
This Constitution is called the Torah/Bible.
Does the Church embrace the whole Constitution or just the parts that it want to?
Any kingdom falls into destruction without a sovereign King. When disorder enters the room Chaos is not far behind. When order returns to the room those that are in disorder will be offended.
The Kingdom of Heaven is near. In Matthew 4: 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Yeshua/Jesus was telling us that the Kingdom was "at hand", near, right in front of us or if you will permit me to say within our midst.
So instead of waiting for a day in the future, accept that the day of His return is today if you will permit Him.
How can He force Himself upon those who refuse Him?
Will you accept his plans and abandon your own? Will you give Him full reign?
Will you trust that the Hebrew mindset never thought of escaping the kingdom that their G-d created but rather restoring the walk-with relationship that our Forefather Adam enjoyed. Abraham heard the voice and heeded it. Isaac walked in the way of his father and taught that relationship of trusting Elohim to his people. Ya'akov/Jacob tried to teach it to his sons. But we see with each generation that the gradual degradation of integrity created a realm of chaos.
With Moses during his time it was said that the King of Egypt knew not Yosef or his brohers. That time is now.
We no longer know our Savior.
We have been given an ethnically cleansed Yeshua/Jesus who has been seperated from His people the Jews, who rejects the Torah and denies the sabbath days and who does anything he wants like rejecting the instructions of Kashrut, Nidah and the Moedim.
In Genesis we read that Yosef/Joseph says to the TEN brothers if you do not bring your brother BenYamin/benjamin with you, you will not see my face again.
Ezekiel 37:15 prophecies of the two sticks becoming one in His hand and haveing one King/shepherd/prince over them both.
this is the prophecy of the 2 Houses of Judah and Efrayim coming back together to re-establish order in the world through the instructions of the King.
Jew and Gentile; One in Messiah.
Please hear my heart.
The Jewish people seek the Messiah but don't see Him in the Christian Church.
The Christian Church seeks to "save" Jews with a pagan Jesus.
We must get off of our high horses and look at what is becoming of the kingdom that our G-d has created for His people. It is being overrun by a Amalakite Ishmaelite spirit that seeks to kill our children and paint their cities with their blood.
There must be clarity.
What we need is Yeshua/Jesus. Only He can bring down the wall of enmity between the whole house of Ya'akov/Jacob who is Y'israel.
Shalom D'rashim

Torah Portion-December 18, 2010
vayechi
And He Lived
Genesis 47.28 – 50.26
1 Kings 2.1-12; Acts 1-4
OVERVIEW
The excitement dies down, the music takes on a somber tone, and we find Joseph promising Jacob that he will bury him in ‘The Land’ with his ancestors…not in Egypt.
With the last of his strength, Jacob tells Joseph that El Shaddai appeared to him to reveal that M’nasheh and Efrayim are to be counted as his sons and receive a sons’ inheritance.
Jacob sees the boys (surprise!), and reaches out to bless them. Jacob prays that he and his forefathers may be perpetuated in them; and that they remember who Jacob is, and what he stand for.
In the blessing, Jacob (intentionally) crosses his hands to bless the younger first. Joseph attempts to bring Jacob into correction, but Jacob says “I know that, my son, I know it. While he (M’nasheh) will be a great people, nevertheless, the younger(Efrayim) will be greater and grow into many nations.” (48.19)
So, Jacob puts Efrayim ahead of M’nasheh.
Jacob then blesses all his own sons individually, … and breathes his last.
It took 40 days to embalm Jacob (in Israel), and the Egyptians and all Pharaohs officials and dignitaries of his court, mourned Jacob 70 days!
Then the whole House of Israel (excepting children, flocks and herds) leave Goshen to return to the Cave of Makhpelah to mourn Jacob and bury him there in the cave Abraham bought
Joseph lived in Egypt and saw the 3rd generations of Efrayim’s children. It is mentioned twice that Joseph lived for 110 years.
This portion ends as it begins: with a promise and a passing. Joe’s bro’s promise to carry his bones back to Israel upon his death. Joe prophesies, of God’s visit to the bro’s… and… breathes his last.
Where are you in this story?

Kingdom Come!
Shalom!
I Hope that this day finds you feeling blessed.
I am just starting this blog with the hope of causing the remnant to awaken.
Just as Eliazar/Lazarus slept for four days, I believe it is time that the servants of the L-rd awaken to bring life into the Kingdom of G-d.
I am an exile. I was raised to believe that I was an Irish-Mexican and that's all I got.
However I am a firm believer that unless you know who you are you can never realize your full potential.
I found out that many not all Irish were Spanish Sephardic Jews. As it happens to be I am a "black Irish" with dark hair and dark eyes. My mother's maiden name is Acevedo which happens to be Portugese Jew.
So, What does that have to so with Kingdom Come?
Yeshua Ha Moshiach answered the desciples when they asked Him about the Kingdom saying, " the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand (Korvah)" which interpreted correctly would be translated; before you, near or at hand. In other words they were essentially asking the King of kings and Lord of lords to show them Heaven and they were looking right at Him.
Now in the 21st century we have the Spirit of G-d living in our midst yet we fail to let Him have reign over us; His kingdom, His land.
Imagine if you will every child of G-d giving Him full reign over our lives, our finances and our marriages. We would then experience order and Heaven would be in our sight.
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.
Remember that all order is in G-d's Teaching and Instruction; the Ha Torah.
Jesus/ Yeshua is the Ha Torah as it is stated in John 1:1
