Like Joseph, we too have had dreams and visions. So let us be like Joseph and take full advantage of our opportunities to make our dreams and visions a reality!

Joseph did not let seemingly catastrophic situations destroy him. Sold into slavery, he became the manager of the household in which he found himself. Cast into prison he became the administrator of the prison. Given the opportunity to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, he became the second man in Egypt, finally, a savior of the family of Israel.

In the life of Joseph we see the truth of the proverb, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). Without Joseph’s visions, many would have perished during the years of famine. It was Joseph’s perseverance, and his walking-out of his visions, that saved the family of Israel from the famine. It also furthered YHVH’s plan to build a people for Himself.

Step one of that family building program was a four hundred yearlong sojourn in Egypt. During this time YHVH increased the numbers of Israelites from 70 to two-and-a-half-million. Sufficient numbers to enable them to take the land that He had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants. Unfortunately, the first occupation of the Promised Land was not permanent. However, over the centuries, our forefathers, knowing that there was an appointed time for the fulfillment of YHVH’s vision, have hasten towards His goal—to have a people for his own possession, and to have them occupy His promised Land. And, even though generation after generation has seen the vision tarry, they have collectively continued to wait, knowing that it will certainly come, it will not delay (Habakkuk 2:3).

In our generation there are many who sense that the last family building block is being put in place. And that there are those alive today who will see the days when they will no longer say, “As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.” Rather, they will say, “As the Lord lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the countries where He had driven them.” Then they will live on their own soil! (Jeremiah 23:7-8).

For this last building block to be placed, the descendants of the household of Israel must come to an understanding of who they are. Ephraim’s cry “to be brought back that he might be restored,” must be answered. And that answer that will only come when Ephraim is instructed as to his own Israelite heritage. And once instructed, we will hear our Father say, “Ephraim is My dear son. He is a delightful child. I have remembered him, and I have had mercy on him" (Jeremiah 31:18-20).

Once Ephraim comes to an understanding that he is part of the people of Israel, he can more effectively tackle his job of helping his brother Judah to see Yeshua as the Messiah of Israel. The results will be the reunion of Ephraim and Judah into the one family of Israel. When we accomplish this task, then the last building block is firmly in place. All is ready for Yeshua’s return and the restoration of the kingdom to Israel.

So let each one of us take full advantage of the unmerited opportunities we have been given. Let us seek to bring Ephraim to knowledge of his heritage, and Judah to knowledge of their Messiah.

Just imagine if each descendant of the household of Israel from the northland and from all the countries where YHVH had driven them had a copy of Redeemed Israel - Reunited and Restored, in their own language. How close do you believe we would be to sliding that final building block in place?

You can help bring this to pass by supporting the Messianic Israel Alliance, and Key of David Publishing, and by giving, lending, and/or selling copies of this book, as you are given opportunity. Envision the impact if everyone who read this article purchase several books, and, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, took the steps to put them in the hands of Israel’s lost sheep.

Realizing that most people can not afford to purchase all the books that they would like to pass out in these difficult financial times, we have developed an alternate plan, Be a Herald. Paul asked, how will they hear and believe without a herald (or preacher). And how will they preach unless they are sent? (Rom 10:14-15).

Every forerunner is commissioned and encouraged to be a herald and change the world with Words by following in Yeshua’s footsteps. Yeshua gave His Father’s Word to the disciples that the Father had given to Him. By doing this Yeshua changed the world. Therefore, each forerunner should be encouraged to go to Israel’s lost sheep, as they are led by the Ruach Ha Kodesh, with the good news that they are full and equal citizens of the Commonwealth of Israel.

The Be a Herald is a simple and economical way to accomplish this is task. To familiarize themselves with what they are going to recommend to others, the forerunner should visit keyofdavidmarketplace.com and download the Introduction, Foreword, table of Content, and First Chapter of Redeemed Israel- Reunited and Restored, and then listens to the audio of the First Chapter of the book. Next the forerunner encourages Israel’s lost sheep to visit the website and do as they did and download the Introduction, Foreword, table of Content, and First Chapter of Redeemed Israel- Reunited and Restored, and to listen to the audio of the First Chapter of the order. The beauty of this plan is there is no cost to the forerunner, or to the person being encouraged to visit the site.

Quite naturally we hope that the visitor, will encourage others to visit the website, and will be led to purchase one or more books. There is a free offer of a copy of Mama’s Torah – the Role of Women with a first order, and a free copy of the Errors of the Ephraimite Error with every order.

By the way, while you are on the site orders for the two new books The Voice – Hearing the Almighty, and Israel Empowered by the Spirit, and the three audio books Redeemed Israel – Reunited and Restored, In search of Israel, and Mama’s Torah – the Role of Woman, which are schedule for publication in July would be greatly appreciated, and will help insure the we are able to meet are planned publication dates. Also contributions will be welcomed.

If we, like Joseph, walk out our visions, then we too will be a Visionary Servant!

If you have not read the recent article Changing the World with Words please take the time to read it.

We appreciate your support and welcome your comments.
