The Prophetic Parallel
in Hosea
— Restoration of the Urim & Thummin
is only in Yeshua

The High Priest, the Ephod & the restoration of the Prophetic to Israel
by Donna Diorio
In the short book of the prophet Hosea, God instructed the prophet to live out a prophetic act. He was called to marry a prostitute and to remain faithful to her in marriage even as she continued her prostitution. This is but one of many examples in the Hebrew Scripture that God reveals His mysterious work and plan regarding Israel. Through Hosea’s prophetic life-act God is illustrating His own faithfulness and relentless love for His people Israel.
Despite the adulteries of Hosea’s wife, God told him, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites.” Hosea 3:1-2. So Hosea went and bought his wife back and told her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.”
Hosea 3:4 For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim. 5 Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. (Matthew 1:1-17) They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days."
God’s intention all along is to restore Israel: Hosea 14:4 “I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.”
To get there, Israel must repent and receive His salvation by faith in Yeshua, our High Priest. (Hebrews 4:14-16) As Peter and John testified to their people, "Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
All that was laying the biblical foundation, now here is my point:
When I launched my ministry in August 2001 I named it Israelprayer.com - not because I am such a great prayer warrior, but because I wanted people to find out first hand from Israeli believers how to pray for Israel and to receive from the wisdom and spiritual insights that only Israeli believers have regarding Israel.
There were — and still are — so many Israel-supporting Christians missing the mark of what Christians really need to be praying for: the Gospel going forth through the Israeli Messianic body of the Messiah and salvation increasing among Israelis. The #1 reason Israel-supporting Christians have missed this Divine priority is because they are aligning with to government representatives, unsaved rabbis and unsaved religious nationalists INSTEAD of Israeli ministries following Yeshua/Jesus. Many become too flattered to be received by high profile Israelis that they do not pursue connection with Yeshua’s spiritual family there – and they are dissuaded from connecting with the Messianic Jewish body of Messiah in Israel continuously. The unsaved call the saved Israeli Jews a cult, but can you imagine being a first century a Christian traveling to Jerusalem to align your church with leaders of the Sanhedrin and not James, Peter, Matthew and Paul?
Recently I was surprised to see a Messianic Jew providing a news link to "prophetic orthodox Israeli Jews" and it truly shocked me. Israel 365 "prophets" are not qualified by faith in Yeshua/Jesus to carry prophetic office or gifting. Then there was the “mystical rabbi” the Jerusalem Post featured warning nations and leaders of Divine retribution for disrupting the state of Israel “signaling the beginning of the prophesied Gog and Magog war and the imminent arrival of the Messiah.” Israeli Kabbalah Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi may read Bible prophecy and recognize signs of the times, but he is NOT prophesying by the Spirit of the LORD any more than the Israeli 365 “prophets”! Why? It is simple: they are not indwelt by the Spirit of the LORD.
It is impossible for ANY unsaved Jews to be "prophetic." Unsaved Jews can be wise, knowing Scripture, even good or sometimes insightful, but they cannot exercise a spiritual gift and office that only comes by restoration to God by faith in Yeshua. To have a true Divine prophetic gift requires the person to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Being a Jew is not the qualification of the prophetic - it is the gift of the Holy Spirit by faith in Yeshua/Jesus.
You might well ask, what about Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance." God has called the Jewish people to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6). He has given the Jewish people many natural/intellectual gifts that are a blessing to mankind, for example like historic Hebraic jurisprudence drawn from God’s Word about law. Also in modern breakthroughs that make life better for humanity from a great many fields like medicine, science and technology. However, unsaved Jews are not blessed with spiritual gifts that belong only to those who have entered into faith through Yeshua/Jesus. "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them....now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good (of the whole body of the LORD)." (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)
We can give our whole-hearted support to Israel and I encourage that, but don't take your eyes off of the spiritual reality that God is MORE interested in the salvation of Israel than in strengthening Israeli resistance to seeing their need to repent and come into faith by His Messiah.
Many pro-Israel Christians do not have the understanding to differentiate between saved Israeli Jews and unsaved. It is important that we do understand Romans 11:27-28 "And this is My covenant with them WHEN I take away their sins. Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs."
Until Jews come to faith, they do not have gifts of the Spirit. If they are speaking as prophets, it is NOT operating through the Holy Spirit or according to the will of God, or they would not still be enemies of the Gospel. Apparently even some Messianic Jews believe that encouraging the unsaved religious Jews as if they were true prophets, will lead them to come to faith. It will only increase the sense that they have no need to come to faith in Yeshua and receive the Holy Spirit. This is a tragedy for a Messianic Jew or an-Israel supporting Christian to believe.
In Hosea 3:4 the prophetic declaration is that Israel will abide without a place of their own, without their own king, or prince/ governors, or sacrifice for sin, and without a pillar/altar, without ephod/breastplate of justice for the 12 tribes, or terephim (a healer).
All these are lost to the Jews until they come to His provision of all these things in His Messiah. Here is why the prophetic DOES NOT OPERATE IN UNSAVED JEWS RELIGIOUS OR NOT. In the beginning God was the King and ruler over Israel until they demanded a king who was a man like all the other nations had. (1 Samuel 8:6). Each of the 12 tribes had princes. Aaron was the High Priest and made atonement-sacrifices for their sins was made every year. The pillar is the altar of God. Aaron wore the ephod, the breastplate of judgment with 12 stones representing every tribe. ("they shall be over Aaron's heart when he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron shall carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually." Exodus 28:29)
Finally, placed IN the ephod were two stones called the "Urim (lights) and Thummim (perfections).” They were a means of revelation entrusted only to the High Priest. Now every single thing mentioned in Hosea 3:4 are found only IN Yeshua. His Holy Spirit is the source of our "Urim" (lights) and Thummim (perfections). We can only receive revelation by the Holy Spirit and we can only be perfected (transformed) into the likeness of Yeshua by the work of the Holy Spirit.
"For IN Him we live, and move, and have our being...For we are also His offspring." Let us pray that the eyes of all who call on the name of the Lord, will be opened to the truth of these things. Acts 17:28

Sally Shiff, my intercessor friend in
central Israel at HaMaayan
congregation, sends out daily updates of what is happening in Israel. There is
no way to pass along all the daily insights she sends out in her short email
blasts, but the wisdom of Heaven rings out true from what she says. Here are
just a few I am plucking out: “The world is talking about what happened in
Lebanon yesterday. All except Israel government. Once again, she will not comment on the situation.
This is a standard operating procedure for the state of Israel.…When you are
surrounded by your enemies, with nowhere else to go, you find ways to overcome
them. The ingenuity of our military is amazing! I personally believe it is because of our
prayers and God's divine protection over Israel!”
“About a year ago at this time,
the movie "Golda" came out recounting out Yom Kippur war and
the behind the scenes of our government and how the government failed to listen to the chatter of the
upcoming war. It’s a wonderful movie. Just days after I saw it then Oct 7
happened. Last night I watched it again with our war almost a year old, and
this time I heard the very same overtures of the American Government (via
Kissinger) of how Israel should capitulate and have a cease fire….
As
the rest of the world wants to get on with life,
stores already preparing for Halloween, Thanksgiving and even Christmas, daily
our people are being murdered on the streets, at check points, hostages in
tunnels. Daily misinformed "protesters" are chanting "death to
the Jews" not understanding they are next.”
One of
the things that is normal for human behavior is when something is too difficult
to comprehend, we put it aside because our human psyche cannot handle it. Or at
least that is me. But I think it is a
tactic that the media uses to dull the reality of the war. They show you
only what they want you to see in hopes that their reality is your truth.
I want
to share with you the reality here in Israel…. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John
8:32). Please don’t be swayed by the
fiction running rampant in the media! Test what they say, test what I
share. Your job is to be as informed as
possible thus being able to properly pray!

10:17 | Why do Iran, Hezbollah, or any of their proxies want to destroy Israel?

Some believe that destroying Israel will lead to the rise of the Mahdi (the

Asher & Betty’s eldest son
Yeheskel inspired the VIDEO teaching We Need to Pray Urgently NOW
with this note: "I've been burdened
with some thoughts the last few days concerning the urgent need for prayer in
the current war situation. Recently we've heard of several tragic
situations which the IDF "almost succeeded." One was the attempt
to prevent the murder of 6 hostages; and another was that they almost caught
Sinwar but missed him by a matter of minutes. I feel a sense of conviction that
we as the Body have a responsibility in prayer; we may have missed it here. We
believe prayer influences operational successes. Thank God, there have been
many: such as release of several hostages a few weeks ago and successfully
taking out key wicked leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah.
However, if we aren't praying
as God wants us to, that can lead to disastrous results. This war is extremely
spiritual. I'm not laying a guilt trip on anyone, and I'm not saying we should be praying and
fasting out of some vain human effort. But I want to encourage people to stand
strong in prayer and fasting as God may be leading, and to get in sync with
the prayers He wants us to pray. That's what makes all the
difference! Specifically, I feel we need to focus on: 1. Taking out Sinwar (this
is key!) 2. Release of hostages 3. Protection of
soldiers 4. Solution for the Northern border 5. Spiritual redemption
for Israelis

Taking more from Arni Klein’s Emmaus
Way letter last week, Arni explores
that when God said in Genesis 2:18 that “It is not good that man should be alone”
— the only created life that He said that about — since we are created
in His likeness, that maybe it is because His own heart’s longing. We were
created for fellowship with Him. Arni always asks lots of questions and this is
the conclusion he came to: “ Understanding this
aspect of Father’s and Yeshua’s being will no doubt have an effect on our
intimacy. Given the pressures and
demands of day-to-day life in our terribly darkened world, the matter of how
God feels cannot be overly stressed. Surely in the face of the last fifty years
of our corporate religious norm, many have a visceral experience of not
being understood and somewhat alone. Our ministry focus was established
nearly forty years ago when we were given to understand that Father felt
neglected as a result of our (His children’s) primary interaction with Him
being mostly in the context of fulfilling some temporal need or other. May
we all press in to lay hold of this insight until it lays hold of us.”
On the subject of Israel: God’s
plan is in fact as clear as it is brilliant. Concerning the place of
Israel and the nations, Romans 11 is the quintessential road map. Beginning
from the end, what is greater than life from the dead? According to verses 12-15, this comes
as a direct result of Israel’s state of being. Consequently the opening of
Israel’s eyes is top priority. Verse 25 tells us how that will come
about: “…blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the
gentiles (Gk. ethnos) has come in.” There
is nothing to wonder about here. It is straight cause and effect. Israel’s
awakening follows an unfolding among the gentiles. To close the loop,
we need to understand the meaning of “the fullness of the gentiles.” The fullness of an individual comes from understanding how God made us
(personally speaking), knowing our unique calling and purpose, and entering
into it with our whole being. The same dynamic is true
for the gentile nations. Their fullness is being who they were made
to be and doing
what they are called to do. Here again, by way of verse 11, God leaves us no
need to wonder. Paul wrote, “To provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to
the gentiles.” In other words,
salvation and all its benefits has been given to the gentiles so that they
would minister to Israel.
DD: It seems there is a need to push yet a third portion of
this letter over to next week.
Youval Yanay of Revive Israel
reminds us of something we ALL need to remember in these days: "So shall my word that goes out from my
mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah
55:11
They are reporting many great things
happening even in the midst of this war as new people come to their Friday

keep us in your prayers as we prepare for another group this week, asking
that the seeds planted in their hearts will take root and bear lasting fruit.”

Michael Beener of Sderot congregation City
of Life – Please pray for this congregation dealing with forms of anti-Messianic
persecution – also for their continued ability to bless the people who need so
much in this poor town so close to Gaza. One of their humanitarian projects is
to help the needy children in their city with school supplies & backpacks. “Just a few months ago, these children
endured one of the most brutal attacks in the town’s history, as rockets rained
down, and armed terrorists infiltrated their homes. Many were forced to hide
for hours, and in some cases, days, without electricity, cut off from the
outside world, as they waited for the Israeli army to reclaim the city. The
emotional scars left behind by this traumatic experience run deep, and as the
new school year begins, these children are still grappling with the horrifying
memories of those dark days. For many of these young students, their return to
school is a fragile attempt to restore normalcy…. In the face of these
challenges, our ministry, City of Life, has been working tirelessly to provide
comfort and support to the children and families of Sderot….Please keep these
children and their families in your prayers. They are the future of this land,
and together, we stand firm in the belief that Sderot will continue to be a
City of Life. WATCH our VIDEO about this story.

Jennifer Guetta of Plant Hope Israel
writes, “I am writing you from the mountains around the Sea of Galilee. The
incredible beauty of the Galilee is a strange paradox with the alarms, rockets
and threats all around us. Yesterday Israel was hit by a hypersonic
missile from Yemen and at the same time, things are heating up here in the
north. Israel had sounded the alarm and told the army to get ready for an
intense battle in the north. Israel is in a multifront war and defending
itself against enemies that seek its destruction. But we put our trust
in the Lord God of Israel and know the end from the beginning.”
“Sound the Alarm! | I
believe we are living in the end times and all eyes are on the north of Israel.
This is the month before the Feast of Trumpets (2nd Oct) and Biblically this
is the time to get wake up out of our slumber, and get ourselves ready for the
King of Kings.
Planting
Hope in Dark Times | All around us the times are getting darker. Israel
needs hope now more than ever. They need to know their God is real and that He
breaks the laws of science and break through in any situation. As a scientist
I came to know the Lord through a supernatural experience and dreams. I
discovered that God can do the impossible. He saved me out of witchcraft,
kabbalah and new age and now I am His witness, to tell about the great
things Jesus is doing…. Our
ministry is called Plant Hope Israel. The name comes from a dream that I had in
2015 when Jesus stretched out His hand to me and said: "Go Plant Hope in
the hearts of men."… We plant hope by publishing my testimony,
teaching about Jesus and leading outreaches, exposing the darkness, organizing
events, worship nights, conferences, the biblical feasts and workshops. We are
publishing Israel updates and teachings on Youtube, holding every day prayer
meetings for Israel, and sending out newsletters across the world.

Again Howard Bass of the Beer Sheva Yeshua’s Inheritance congregation
is overflowing with wisdom very difficult for me to edit down to essence: “Clearly
the peace that the world proposes is no peace of mind at all, not to mention
the cessation of hatred and greed which leads to violence and wars of every
kind All this adding to the heaviness of the burden of sin which continues to
plague the world at large, and Israel in particular. “There is no peace for the wicked!" the prophet Isaiah writes
of YHVH's declaration. (Is 48:22) We all have fallen under the sway of the
evil one who hates and lies about the goodness and faithfulness of our
Creator, who also has come as our Redeemer and Savior. Except for the grace
and mercies of God to save us, we
would all be susceptible to the deceptions of the devil to take us his
side against our loving and righteous Father. Without the Holy Spirit
dwelling within us, we would not have the power to persevere in the faith
until the end, nor to withstand the onslaught of the "wisdom" from
below. (Ja 3:13-18)
“…. the state of the world, and
of those "of" the world: they
do not want the evil to fully put away for good, but to allow it to continue to
exist and do its thing. We do not know what life without evil lurking
around is like, and find it nearly impossible, if not absolutely impossible, to
imagine it…. And we usually bring in our worldly and carnal delights of
this creation into whatever thoughts and
imaginations we may try out. God
does not intend to allow any evil and its sinful ramifications to exist, ever
again in His eternal Kingdom. Nor is He going to
"eventually" save everyone, including even Satan. If so, for what reason did Jesus have to come
and suffer such a horrible death on the cross?!....When Israel is constantly
being held back from winning by defeating its mortal enemy, they
are in effect being told to allow the evil to remain, and let
them keep trying to accomplish their explicitly stated goal of eradicating
Israel and the Jewish people everywhere.
They can defeat you at some
point, but we will not allow you to defeat them.”
“The
accuser of the brethren who believe in Yeshua, is also the
accuser against Israel and Jews. The whole Bible is an open book for
this. It is very easy to judge who they are.
In the New Testament we are told if you are a believer to examine and
judge yourself, so that God does not need to. And we are told to first get the
log out of our own eye in order to maybe help a brother with the speck in his. These self-judgments
apply to Gentile Christians judging the Jews for not believing in Yeshua/Jesus;
and they also apply to Jewish believers (Messianic Jews) for judging
unrighteously the Gentile believers for not "doing it right". We Jews did not do it right first, and we had the covenants, the Torah, and the
promises. Heretics accuse and project onto the "straights" of what
they themselves do. No one can stand against what are easily and
legalistically judged things, but we have an Advocate with the Father, and it is Messiah who died for us, so there is no
condemnation (perhaps there is guilt, which
is why we walk humbly and ask for forgiveness, thanking God for His
ready willingness to do so) for those in Christ Jesus.
“….most of the month of October
will be filled up by the three weeks of the mo'edim - appointed times of YHVH
to Israel -- the Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets, the Day of Atonements, the
Feast of Booths/Tabernacles. Most of that time the schools will be out, beginning
again in earnest afterwards. Then
Hanukkah and Christmas come just two months later. Israel's life flow
centers around these mo'edim, which all lay out the redemptive plan of God,
fulfilled in Yeshua”
Lastly a request for prayer over their video project next week from Ariel &
Shayla Hyde and the team at Tree of Life Ministries as they are shooting 3 new
evangelistic videos. (If war conditions in the north allow it!) They write: “Every
time that you all have joined us in prayer during filming, we’ve always seen
God answer in tremendous ways both on those days and then afterwards in the
beautiful fruit that remains!”
