National Acceptance

The Next word עדה (edah) ay-dah ‘was translated into the word Congregation
It Is defined as a group of people assembled for religious worship: 
The word עדה (EDAH) ay-dah ‘ or Congregation, has nothing to do with a religion.

Because religion separated Elohim’s people from him. (we’ll discuses religion in another lesson)

True Israel didn’t have a religion but a relationship with the Lord and His Angels. They talked to the Lord and His angels directly.

Deut. 4:33. Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?

As you can see the True Hebrew Israelites actually heard the Lord, Literally.

The word עדה (EDAH) ay-daw ‘or Congregation was only used to describe

The Nation (All of the Tribes) or family of Israel, when they assembled. to actually hear from the Lord, not a person from a pulpit

It’s true meaning SHOULD BE DEFINED AS. THE TRUE HEBREW ISRAELITE NATION THAT ASSEMBLED FOR A DIVINE CONNECTION and communication WITH THE GOD OF THEIR FATHERS.

Regularly the people of Israel actually talked to the Lord. Men LIKE DAVID, MOSES, ABRAHAM AND HIS WIFE SARAH, who regularly talked to angels. So did their son Isaac, and his wife Rebekah.

 The lord talked directly with Israel and helped his son Joseph to interpret the dreams of Pharaoh.

The Lord even communicated with kings of distant nations, like Nebuchadnezzar and Abimelech in dreams who needed a real Hebrew to help him understand what Elohim was trying to tell them.

The lord talked to and thru all of the prophets and Prophetess
The Lord even talked to the whole congregation of Israel, as recorded in Exodus 20.
Ex 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying, …

The true Hebrew Israelites are probably the only tribal nation on earth that are naturally called a congregation. 
The original term congregation is used to distinctively use to define the True Hebrew Israelites. The first place you see the use of this word is before true Israel left the land of Mizraim (Egypt.)

Exodus 12:3 KJV.  Speak unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house. At this time when this word was first used within their sacred texts. No one else in the world called themselves a congregation

The word congregation is taken from the Hebrew word עֲדַ֤ת (EDAH) Which always refers to the true Hebrew Israelites, and no one else

Later the identity thieves would have used this word to improperly redefine other people as a congregation. Which is impossible. As stated earlier you can’t transform yourself into another nationality. Because everyone’s true historical genealogy can’t be altered.

Though they have convinced themselves and others that are ignorant of this truth. 
Both true Israel and the people that know their history, which is recorded in their ancient text in their language, know better.

Altering the copies of the Hebrew Israelites sacred texts doesn’t alter the original. Neither can it change the historical documents of other nations recorded in their language in that region. 

Though this word congregation refers to only true Israel, they were not all followers of Elohim nor compliant to Moses of the Messiah’s leadership.

So this congregation was distinctively classified into two groups. The congregation of the righteous. (Psalm 1:5)… ‘Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous’. The other was called the congregation of the dead.

“The man that wander out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” (Proverbs 21:16 KJV)

To gain acceptance under the old covenant it was verbal and direct. 
So to be considered as part of the Congregation you had to be born in it

If you were male, you had to be circumcised and keep all of their laws and Commandments that governs their country like any other nation.

Under the next covenant being born into one of these tribes will not be enough, 

 because Yochanon the Mikvah (John the Baptist) who was responsible for Baptizing the whole nation of true Israel said 

“…. think not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, 

that Elohim (God) is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore, every tree which bring not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” (Mt 3:9-10.)

What this means Is that Elohim Wants demonstration, just as you can tell a banana tree from its fruit. Elohim can determine whether we are good or evil by the evil or good that we do.

Because the Lord said " a good tree does not bring forth corrupt fruit; neither do a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." Lu 6:43.

Apostle John confirms this in one of his epistles by saying. “Whosoever is born of Elohim doth not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. ” (1 John 3:9 KJV)

It is from this point on that Elohim is not looking at nationality or religion. But behavior and daily activities.

Just being a descendant of Abraham is not enough. They had to do good and live Holy.

So even Israel’s religion has become null and void.  they too will have to be born again.

 Under the new covenant, you had come to repentance (conform to the lifestyle of the Messiah) be baptized in the Hebrew name of their Messiah, There was no other name used at this time.

This was confirmed through receiving the Holy Ghost, that was also verbally confirmed through speaking in tongues or prophesying. 

A Spiritual Confirmation that have been recognized since the days of the kings. 

After a 40+year journey through the wilderness and then engaging in wars against 31 kings to finally confiscate the land that was promised to Abraham come Isaac and their father Jacob. Israel can finally prepare to be a nation.

(1 Samuel 10:9-11. And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, Elohim gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day. And when they got there to the hill, , 

a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of Elohim came upon him, and he prophesied among them. And it came to pass, when all that knew him before time saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, 

then the people said one to another, what is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

then the people said one to another, what is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

While Peter spoke these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all of them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision (True Hebrew Israelites) which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify Elohim. Then answered Peter, can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay awhile for a few days.)  (Acts 10:44-48 KJV. )

As you can see, the gentiles were allowed acceptance only after receiving the Holy Ghost through confirmation of the Holy Ghost by speaking in tongues and prophesying, like the people did when they went around the prophets of old.

What gave them acceptance was the individual’s willingness to confirm their way of life and the will of Elohim (God).

This way of life is recorded throughout the scriptures, but mainly in the book of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. 

It is these scriptures that shape the culture of the true Hebrew Israelites.

they memorized these scriptures from their childhood. They still rehearsed these sacred scripts every Sabbath day.

So if they have to memorize these sacred texts, so do everyone else, that comes or desires to come into their congregation.

As it is with any other country or nation, the True Hebrew Israel nation has been bombarded by millions of strangers into their Country. 

This does not grant them acceptance from the true Hebrew Israelites or Elohim

Many believe that they are accepted.
Though it’s not a reality, in the mind of these visitors they think they have gained some type of divine acceptance, but are seen as invaders to these natives.

We all know it was prophesied that these visitors were coming, and they have arrived. (Luke 21:24 KJV……Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.) This event is a sign of the end times.
