What was the reason the whole nation of Israel - meaning both Houses of Israel and all twelve tribes - were conquered, exiled, and scattered to every nation on earth? We can name several issues, such as idolatry, wickedness, and unrighteousness, with all the symptomatic sins associated with those things. But what about divisiveness?
Psalm 133 speaks of the high priority God places on His people dwelling together in unity. Paul writes about that in Romans 12, exhorting Yeshua's followers to live at peace with others. So, then, why don't we live at peace with our brothers and sisters in the faith? Is that a reason the nation of Israel remains divided and scattered?
Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate these questions in the context of the Torah Awakening among Christians. If it really is the restoration of the House of Joseph and the beginning of reconciliation with Judah, then what can we do to help that process - or at least not hinder it?

Friday night study and then Shabbat 5/18

Take with you words and return to YHVH; say to him, Take away all iniquity; accept what is good, and we will pay with bulls the vows of our lips.
Hosea 14:2

There's no sacrifice for deliberate rebellion against God except confession and repentance, and false repentance will never fool God who sees every dark corner of our hearts. Only sincere repentance counts. It's better not to repent at all than to repent falsely. Don't play games with God.

Israel in Hosea's day had committed terrible crimes against God, but he still wanted their repentance. The first step toward reconciliation with God is to confess your sins and stop committing them. God WANTS to forgive you! The most powerful king and humblest orphan finds mercy and salvation in the Name of YHVH.
