SEPHARDISM

OCTOBER 10, 2013

[The current news is filled with prophetic events, foreshadowing and prophesying what shall be. Bro. Sherwood alerted me of an event in Israel a few days ago, it really witnessed to my spirit. He that has an ear to ear, let him hear. Be inspired by this message].

There was a funeral in Jerusalem, Old Jerusalem, on Oct. 7th, attended by an estimated 700,000 people, 10% of Israel's population. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, age 93, revered scholar of Talmud and Torah...Jewish Law. In English, his name would be Obadiah Joseph. His father's name was Yaakov Ben or Jacob Son of.

Ovadia was a champion of Sephardic Jewish rights, especially of northern African Jews. The ultra Orthodox Sephardaim. Many Sephardic Jews emigrated from Spain and Portugal in 1492 and have been persecuted over the years by Ashkenazi Jews. Ashkenazis descend from those who converted to Judaism in Eastern Europe centuries ago...possibly "Jews who are not Jews" referred to in Revelation...at least genetically.

Since being scheduled to begin reading the accounts of Elijah beginning in I Kings 17, I received a big hit in spirit when our brother seer Ray pointed out that Obadiah was a go between of Ahab and Elijah; leading to the eventual showdown of prophets at Carmel! Sneaking a peak ahead to I Kings 18, I saw that Obadiah also hid 100 prophets from Jezebel. Is this the Ovadia who died recently?

To everything true there is a counterfeit. As the Shas political party gained recognition in Israel partly thru the leadership of Ovadia Yosef, there may have been a glimmer of hope of peace as he proposed giving back some land of Palestine in exchange for peace. But when the second intafada hit, he changed his stance. Remember that some of the Talmudic doctrine includes the superiority of Jews to all other "races". Perhaps going so far as seeing others races as cattle. As he became more hawkish after 2000; his Saturday night sermons: "became the rabbi’s platform for lashing out against those he despised — rival politicians, gay people and perceived enemies of Israel.

When Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was pushing a plan for unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, Rabbi Yosef said, “God will strike him with one blow and he will die; he will sleep and not awake.” (Mr. Sharon had a devastating stroke in early 2006 and remains in a coma.) In 2009, Rabbi Yosef cursed Iran’s president at the time, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, saying he hoped he got sick. In 2010, he called President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority “evil” and asked God to strike “these Ishmaelites and Palestinians with a plague, these evil haters of Israel.” It certainly appears that his curses had power; power to harm. Let us choose this day: curses or blessings. Let us choose to bless. Let us choose LIFE.

Sephardic means separated. It is intriguing that at this time when the consciousness of mankind is flowing into the reality that we are all connected in wonderful synchronicity that a leader of separatist superiority and cursing one's enemies has now been buried in Sanhedrin Cemetery!!! Laid into the grave shortly before 11 pm...wondering what that 11 portal gate was like?!! While reading this morning of Elijah's call to the widow of Zeraphath and his two miracles performed there of multiplying flour and oil and raising the son's soul back to him, this cross reference came up: Obadiah 20 "And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south." The Strongs #5614 Sepharad; separated; referred to a place of exiled Israel. Has Ovadia held Orthodox Jews captive by his doctrines?

At this time of "history" as we anxiously prepare for the Faithful and True riding on the white horse with his vesture dipped in blood (Joseph's coat of many colors was dipped in blood); Jesus returning as Joseph, the double portion sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, adopted sons of Jacob/ben Yaakov named Israel by Jacob himself over his other 11 sons) eye see the death and burial of one Ovadia Yosef as a removal of the separatist doctrines of men, at least in Orthodox Jewry, a champion of cursing one's enemies rather than loving them. Can we say, "One down, two to go?!" The removal of the counterfeit paves the way for the appearance of the TRUE, perhaps paved with gold. The big two to go are the RELIGIONS/religiosity of Christianity and Islam, are they not? Also separatist doctrines!

We are arriving when we progress past even the wonderful teaching of Jesus of loving one's enemies into the ascension of inability to see anyone AS an enemy. AMEN?

Please don't misunderstand this: WE ARE ALL ADOPTED SONS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.

P.S. 10/7/2013 was the one year anniversary of a baptism of and forgiveness for the acts of robbery and tyranny carried out by the Fed.

10/7/2013 was also 777 days after the D.C. Quake. Make no mistake: DC as a leg of Mystery Babylon is still quaking! Hallelujah!
