Benjamin Netanyahu
Prime Minister, Israel

Jerusalem, ot 91950 IL
Dear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
My husband and I pray for you every morning and want to wish you a Happy Birthday!
We cannot imagine the weight you must feel in carrying the responsibility of Haaretz and the world on your shoulders. These latter days are difficult, but the LORD will not give you a load that you can not bear. He made you for such a time as this.
● Psalm 139:15-16
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
139:15-16 תהילים
15 לֹא־נִכְחַ ד עָצְמִ י מִ מֶּ ךָּ אֲש ֶר־עֻשֵּׂ יתִי בַסֵּ תֶר רֻ קַּ מְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיֹּ ות אָֽרֶץ׃
16 גָּלְמִ י רָ א וּ עֵינֶ יךָ וְעַֽל־סִפְרְךָ כֻּלָּ ם יִכָּ תֵ בוּ יָמִ ים יֻצָּ רוּ ולא אֶחָ ד בָּהֶֽם׃
The answer to solve the problem of the restoration of the sovereignty of the Jewish State of Israel in Haaretz is in the Tanach.
When you find the arrows that the LORD shoots from His Bow, then and only then will you be a force to be reckoned with in the world.
In the book of Zechariah 9, the arrows of the LORD are Ephraim and the bow is Judah.
● Zechariah 9:12-13
12 Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you. 13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow and fill it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and make you like a warrior's sword.
9:12-13 זכריה
12 ש וּבוּ לְבִצָּרֹ ון אֲסִירֵ י הַתִּקְוָ ה גַּם־הַיֹּ ום מַגִּ יד מִש ְנֶ ה אָש ִ יב לָֽךְ׃
13 כִּֽי־דָרַ כְתִּי לִ י יְהוּדָ ה קֶ ש ֶת מִלֵּ אתִי אֶפְרַ יִם וְעֹורַרְתִּ י בָנַ יִךְ צִיֹּ ון עַל־בָּנַ יִךְ יָוָ ן וְשַׂמְתִּ יךְ כְּחֶ רֶב גִּבֹּֽור׃
So, when you find Ephraim and he is restored to Haaretz along with Judah, you will have the restoration of Israel. So far, it is primarily Judah that dwells in the land with a small number from the House of Ephraim (the 10 Northern Tribes). The Tanach prophesies that the House of Ephraim will be restored to the land and that they will be as numerous as the sand of the sea, which indicates that the few currently in the land do not constitute the total count of Ephraim.
● Hosea 1: 10
"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, Which cannot be measured or numbered. And it shall come to pass In the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' There it shall be said to them, 'You are sons of the living God.' 11 Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel Shall be gathered together, And appoint for themselves one head; And they shall come up out of the land, For great will be the day of Jezreel!
הושע :1-22
1 וְֽ הָיָה מִסְפַּ ר בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחֹ ול הַיָּ ם אֲש ֶ ר לֹֽא־יִמַּ ד וְלֹ א יִסָּפֵ ר וְֽ הָיָה בִּמְקֹ ום אֲש ֶר־יֵאָמֵ ר לָהֶם לֹֽא־עַמִּ י אַתֶּ ם יֵאָמֵ ר לָהֶ ם בְּנֵ י אֵֽל־חָֽי׃
2 ונקבצו בני-יהודה ובני-ישראל יהדו ושמו להם רואש אחד ועלו מן-הארץ כי גדול יום יזרעאל: The Word is clear that not only is the House Ephraim as numerous as the sand of the sea, but that in the places where the House of Ephraim are scattered, they will not be recognized as God's chosen people. Judah, on the other hand, has never lost their identity as God's chosen people.
● Hosea 8: 8-12
Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles Like a vessel in which is no pleasure. 9 For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a wild donkey alone by itself; Ephraim has hired lovers. 10 Yes, though they have hired among the nations, Now I will gather them; And they shall sorrow a little, Because of the burden of the king of princes. 11 "Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, They have become for him altars for sinning. 12 I have written for him the great things of My law, But they were considered a strange thing.
8:8-12 הושע
8 נבלע ישראל עתה היו בגוים ככלי אין-חפץ בן:
9 כִּֽי־הֵ מָּה עָל וּ אַש ּ וּר פֶּ רֶא בֹּודֵ ד לֹ ו אֶפְרַ יִם הִתְנ וּ אֲהָבִֽים׃
10 גַּ ם כִּֽי־יִתְנ וּ בַגֹּויִ ם עַתָּ ה אֲקַבְּצֵ ם וַיָּחֵ לּוּ מְּעָ ט מִמַּשָּׂ א מֶ לֶךְ שָׂרִֽים׃
11 כי-הרבה אפרים מזבחת לחטא היו-לו מזבחות לחטא:
12אכתוב-לו רבי תורתי כמו-זר נחשבו:
Ephraim was swallowed up among the nations and assimilated into other cultures while losing their identity, as something unrecognizable once it has been digested.
Their loss of identity was so great, that they lost the Torah, and even today, cannot recognize God's Law. Ephraim views the Torah as a strange thing. However, The LORD will never forget the House of Ephraim, and once again He will have mercy on him, bringing back His firstborn to Haaretz.
● Jeremiah 31:9
They shall come with weeping, And with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.
ירמיה 31:9
9 בִּבְכִ י יָבֹ אוּ וּֽבְתַחֲנוּנִים אֹֽובִילֵם אֹֽולִיכֵם אֶל־נַ חֲלֵי מַ יִם בְּדֶ רֶךְ יָש ָ ר לֹ א יִכָּש ְל וּ בָּ הּ
כִּֽי־הָיִ יתִי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְאָ ב וְאֶפְרַ יִם בְּכֹ רִי הֽוּא׃
For the past 30 years, the LORD has been waking up and calling Ephraim, evidenced by the fact that so many throughout the world are interested in Torah, Hebraic roots, and the whole Word of God. They feel a strong desire to follow the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
These people love Israel and do not know why.
We call this in science "Genetic Memory." This is the same genetic memory that directs birds through long, annual migratory paths due to slight changes in the weather. In our case the LORD has been turning on the genetic memory of numerous people around the world, including America. It reminds us from where we have come. We are coming to the realization that we are part of Ephraim.
Mr. Prime Minister, find Ephraim and bring him back to the Land. Encourage Judah to stop harassing his brother and allow them to be one.
● Isaiah 11:13
Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
11:13 ישעה
13 וְסָ רָה קִנְאַ ת אֶפְרַ יִם וְצֹרְרֵ י יְהוּדָ ה יִכָּרֵ תוּ אֶפְרַ יִם לֹֽא־יְקַנֵּ א אֶת־יְהוּדָ ה וִֽיהוּדָ ה לֹֽא־יָצֹ ר אֶת־אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
The LORD will never forget Ephraim and He will bring him back.
● Jeremiah 31:20
Is Ephraim My dear son? Is he a pleasant child? For though I spoke against him, I earnestly remember him still; Therefore My heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says the LORD
31:20 ירמיה
20 הֲבֵן יַקִּ יר לִ י אֶפְרַ יִם אִ ם יֶ לֶד ש ַעֲש ֻעִ ים כִּֽי־מִדֵּ י דַבְּרִי בֹּ ו זָכֹ ר אֶזְכְּרֶ נּוּ עֹ וד עַל־כֵּ ן הָמ וּ מֵעַי לֹ ו רַחֵ ם אֲ ֽרַחֲמֶ נּוּ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃
Israel will be strong again, and invincible when Judah is one with Ephraim.
● Ezekiel 37:19
Say to them, 'Thus says the LORD God: "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand."
37:19 יחזקאל
19 דַּבֵּ ר אֲלֵהֶ ם כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָ י יְהוִה הִנֵּה אֲנִ י לֹקֵ חַ אֶת־עֵ ץ יֹוסֵף אֲש ֶ ר בְּיַד־אֶפְרַ יִם וְש ִבְטֵ י יִשְׂרָאֵ ל חברו וְנָתַתִּי אֹותָ ם עָלָ יו אֶת־עֵ ץ יְהוּדָ ה וַֽעֲשִׂיתִם לְעֵ ץ אֶחָ ד וְהָי וּ אֶחָ ד בְּיָדִֽי׃
Judah has returned to Haaretz twice, but Ephraim has yet to return since Assyria scattered him all over the earth.
● Zechariah 10:6-10
6 "I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, Because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside; For I am the LORD their God, And I will hear them. 7 Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine. Yes, their children shall see it and be glad; Their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. 8 I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; And they shall increase as they once increased. 9 "I will sow them among the peoples, And they shall remember Me in far countries; They shall live, together with their children, And they shall return. 10 I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt, And gather them from Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, Until no more room is found for them.
10:6-10 זכריה
6 וְגִבַּרְתִּ י אֶת־בֵּ ית יְהוּדָ ה וְאֶת־בֵּ ית יֹוסֵף אֹוש ִ יעַ וְהֹֽוש ְבֹותִים כִּ י רִֽחַמְתִּ ים וְהָי וּ כַּאֲש ֶ ר
לֹֽא־זְנַחְתִּ ים כִּ י אֲנִ י יְהוָ ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ ם וְאֶעֱנֵֽם׃
7 והיו כגבור אפרים ושמח לבם כמו-יין ובניהם יראו ושמחו יגל לבם ביהוה:
8 אשרקה להם ואקבצם כי פדיתים ורבו כמו רבו:
9 ואזרעם בעמים ובמרחקים יזכרוני וחיו את-בניהם ושבו:
10 וַהֲש ִֽיבֹותִים מֵאֶ רֶץ מִצְרַ יִם וּמֵֽאַש ּ וּר אֲקַבְּצֵ ם וְאֶל־אֶ רֶץ גִּלְעָ ד וּלְבָנֹון אֲבִיאֵ ם וְלֹ א יִמָּצֵ א
להם: Praying that this letter will reach your eyes and the LORD will help you see Ephraim.

A War of Numbers that Will be Fought With Words |
For Ephraim to once a again become a mighty man ready for YHVH's Whistle to return to the land and join with his brother Judah, and together defeat their enemies, he must increase his numbers (Zech 10:7-12). This requires that lost sheep become found sheep. This transformation under the guidance of the Ruach Ha Kodesh can best be accomplished by providing appropriate verbal and written information, and fellowship to lost sheep. Twenty thousand copies Ephraim and Judah - Israel Revealed which have been distributed in the past have been a key factor in turning lost sheep into found sheep. It has proven to be an excellent initial word weapon.
However, Batya's classic "handout book" Ephraim and Judah - Israel Revealed, is now out of print in paper, but it is available as a free eBook. Click here to download. Several people have asked for the eBook on a CD. So we have made it on a CD available at Key of David Marketplace $4 (to cover shipping and handling costs).
The good news is that we will soon have a new and improved version of this classic book. It will be titled, Who Is Israel - Redeemed Israel - A Digest. This exciting new overview will make an excellent and inexpensive handout book. It can now be pre-ordered at a very special price at Key of David Marketplace and is due for delivery in late October. For more information see the Challenges of Being A Watchman |

Question of the Day
How many Ephraimites are required for Ephraim to once again be a Mighty Man, ready and able to return to the land and join with his brother Judah and together defeat our enemies?
We would still appreciate more input on this question. if we don't have a handle on the goal we are working towards it makes it difficult reach it.
We would appreciate Your opinion. |
I Am YHVH We encourage you to listen to a new song, written by Batya and recorded by our friend, Will Spires. The song is titled "I AM YHVH" and it is truly inspiring. You might want to listen to it before you pray. The song is about the Father's heart cry for His chosen people: Judah and Ephraim. You can hear it as you enter the Zachariah's Patrol website or Key of David Marketplace, and it can be downloaded for free at Key of David Marketplace.Several people have asked for the song on a cd so they can play it in their cars. So we have made available at Key of David Marketplace. a CD that has seven renditions of the song for $4 (to cover shipping and handling costs).
