Statement of Emunah (Faith)
Updated 7/14/05
WE BELIEVE ...
…that Yahshua is the Whole Wheat Unleavened Bread/Living Uncorrupted Manna that came down from the heavens. Meaning, His body, Being, Spirit and Blood, all came from the heavens, not the dust of the earth, nature that Adam and Eve’s did. We believe that the Father prepared His body and blood (Yahshua’s) with which to visit and redeem the earth, before the foundation of the world. He was then born into this world through Miryam’s/Mary’s womb, but not from Miryam’s womb. YHWH did not use Mary, or Joseph’s DNA, to avoid Yahshua’s having a human dust nature. Yahshua therefore is 100% YHWH and not an alleged hybrid Greek mythological god-man. This is a salvation issue. For Mary was in fact a sinner and thus YHWH could not have used a sinful human egg to bring us our Savior from the heavens (see, study and understand the series Whole Wheat Unleavened Bread and our book Our Last Days Meal).
... in the virgin birth of the Messiah Yahshua (Isaiah 7:14, Matt. 1:23)
... in the complete deity of Yahshua the Master. In Him dwelt all the fullness of Yahweh Elohim in bodily form (Colossians 2:9).
... in His death, burial, physical resurrection and subsequent ascension to the right hand of the Father, where He sits as the high priest over New Covenant Israel (Psalm 110:1).
... that Yahshua reigns over New Covenant Israel as the Cohen HaGadol of the Melchizedekian order. He will fulfill this role forever (Hebrews 7:17).
... that a person must be "born again" through the Divine process of regeneration by Yahweh's Ruach HaKodesh and be mikvahed (water immersed), as an outward confession of that inward experience. This takes place through an initial expression of faith in Yahshua's atoning, vicarious and substitutionary death on the tree (Yochanan 3:3).
... that only the precious, set apart blood of the Lamb of Yahweh, Yahshua, can totally remove and remit one's sins.
... that both Replacement Theology (where something man-made called "The Church" replaces the Jews) and Separate Entity Theology (where something man-made called "The Church" co-exists as a separate entity alongside the people of Israel) are both unscriptural doctrines of Hell and need to be silenced via correct teaching by those of the single body of New Covenant Israel also known as the ekklessia -- the Assembly of Yahshua.
... in the full restoration of the "Olive Tree of Israel." This means the reunification of the people of Judah, Ephraim and non Israelites (Gerim) into one nation of Israel through the Messiah. The olive tree of Romans 11 is not a "Jewish" olive tree, as is often taught. Rather according to Jeremiah 11:15-16 it is both houses of Israel. Therefore returning non Jewish Israelites are returning to their own tree through being grafted back in (Romans 11:16, Jeremiah 11:15,16).
... that the Jewish people have been the identifiable representatives and offspring of Judah. Non-Jewish followers of Messiah from all nations are predominantly Ephraim and have been up to now the unidentifiable representatives and offspring of Ephraim (Zechariah 8:23).
... that the Jewish people have been kept identifiable by Yahweh to preserve the Torah, the Feasts, the Shabbat and the Hebrew language. The national salvation of the Jewish people will be the crowning act of mankind's redemption and is a necessity for the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel. Ephraim the "wild olive branch" is called to stimulate Judah to want what they have, which is a personal relationship with Yahweh as well as the abundant life of Torah Observance.
... that non-Jewish followers of Messiah Yahshua are predominantly Ephraim, those who were once among the nations as "lo-ami," a non-people, but have now been restored to the Commonwealth of Israel through the Covenant of Israel's Messiah. They are the fulfillment of the promise and prophecy made to Ephraim by Jacob, when Ephraim's seed was promised to become the fullness of the Gentiles, "melo hagoyim" (Genesis 48:19).
... that Ephraim's recognition of their identity and restoration with brother Judah is the truth that will become the salvation of all Israel (Ezekial 37:16-28).
... that all Israel is partially blind (Isaiah 8:14, Romans 11:25). Jewish-Israel is blind to Yahweh's son and His atonement, while Ephraim-Israel is blind to their heritage and identity as Israel, as well as the eternal relevancy of Torah. These last days are seeing the blinders coming off within both houses of Israel, as the prelude to national restoration through Yahshua.
... that Yahshua's physical return to earth will result in the ultimate restoration of the Kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6), as He takes both "sticks" of Ezekiel 37 and makes them one in Yahweh's hand on the mountains of Israel, as all Israel is saved, honoring Yahshua, obeying Torah and enjoying the restoration of David's tabernacle which had previously fallen.
.....All who follow the Shabbat, Annual Moadim-Feasts and Rosh Chodashim-New Moons are welcome in our fellowship. We are not to judge how others individually pursue this important truth, as long as they strive for the truth of keeping YHWH's appointed times. Each YATI-BYSW Assembly is free to follow the leading of the local leader, which may vary from congregation to congregation. The religious shadows of how to guard these appointed times, will soon pass and the reality of the coming earthly kingdom of Yahshua, will be fully revealed. Colossians 2:14-16
...Using the true Names of the father YHWH and Yahshua are key to Yisrael's restoration. All those affiliated with B'nai Yahshua Synagogues must do likewise.
… that YHWH has given us three venues to pursue relationships with other human beings. Monogamous marriages, plural/patriarchal marriages based on Torah and the gift of celibacy. Please be aware that all three are bible based and fully welcome in the BYSW family of fellowships and friends.
