WHY HEBRAIC SERVICE?
Why not just a Committed Christian Service?God called Abraham and promised him that through him and his generation, the world will be blessed.
The world was then living in ways contradictory to the ways of God.
God told Abraham and his wife to come out of his land and live according to God’s directions and blue print, according to God’s ways.
This plan, which concerns every aspect of life was to be passed down and taught through the generations to the whole world.
Abraham – Isaac & Ishmael – Jacob & Esau
The generation that received the full promise was the children of Jacob – Israelites, later known as Hebrews or Jews (Judah).
From Abraham, for 2000 years, God reveals His detailed plan through a godly lineage in a spiritual and practical way encompassing every detail in life from child birth to raising children, education, marriage, death, relationships, leadership and everything else through the Law, commandments, judgement, statutes, oral teachings and lifestyle. The founders are called patriarchs
The lifestyle developed into a culture called the Hebraic culture through which the truth and depths of God are revealed, and upon which the Kingdom of God throughout the world was to be inaugurated and established through the coming Messiah.
This way of life reveals the will of God in all matters to lead the world back to God, and not just back to God but also into the heart of God to be like Him in every way. It was also to prepare mankind to meet his Creator, Savior and King.
On the whole, the Jews were faithful in carrying out the instructions and rituals of the Law but failed to achieve the intent of the Law, which is to know the very heart of God and to be like Him.
Because they failed in this they failed to also recognize Christ, the heart of God manifested.
But through the few faithful Jews who responded, Christ the King continued to establish His Kingdom.
However, because the Jews became a minority, thus there was the lack of Jewishness, the Kingdom move that was soon became infiltrated by heathen teachings and the Word of God began to be interpreted and translated against a heathen culture instead of the Hebraic heritage.
This resulted in many erroneous understanding and practices of God’s Word. The religion of God, Christianity has become heathen in many ways.
There is a movement now in the world to return to the true root of Hebraic understanding, which means understanding the Word of God as a Hebrew would.
WHY BIBLICAL PATRIARCHY?
The underlying culture and true foundation of the gospel had long been renounced, removed and replaced with Hellenism and Romanism that gave birth to the modern culture. We ended up with a different Gospel that was influenced by the Western European culture, and not by the Middle Eastern culture wherein the gospel was ordained to be originated and interpreted. The truth is now twisted and denuded, yet the Church is totally oblivious of it. But Biblical Patriarchy & Hebraic Christianity is the restoration of this Truth in Christ.
Biblical Patriarchy is the essence and timeless aspect of the Hebraic Roots.
It does not in any way contradict Hebraic Christianity but emphasizes on the spirit of the law rather than the rituals of the Law.
It lives out the practical application of the Law and life in the Spirit
It is the abundant life that Christ promised and yet few have attained.
It is the life and depth of Christ and the biblical forefathers. It is the full gospel.
Make no mistake about this. I am not preaching another gospel, but that which was declared by the Apostles.
In brief, Biblical Patriarchy is the walk of our founding forefathers like Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus Christ Himself.
It is definitely not about the suppression of women. It is about spiritual men and women living out their lives as patriarchs and matriarchs like Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Leah and Rachel, all of them in their specific roles.
It's not about men and women setting themselves against one another. Christ is in Patriarchy and Patriarchy is in Christ.
BP embraces the depths and life of the Patriarchs like Davidic Leadership, Covenantal Brotherhood and Patriarchal Relationships.
I am afraid HC merely restore the teachings of the Law and the festivals while keeping the Western values rather than boldly imparting the depth, life, power and dynamism of the Patriarchs. For example, HC avoids the subject of Biblical polygamy while BP does not.
BP involves a total consecration and laying down to pick up the abundant life that Jesus promised.
BP seeks to change rather than just to share and bless. BP seeks to prevail in real life rather than to remain theoretically passive.
Hebraic Christianity is like a shield and Biblical Patriarchy like a sword.
BP is HC in full practice in life and Spirit.

Prophecies and Visions Word given through Pastor Israel:
God says, "I call you son of Abraham and the promises of Abraham you will inherit"Prophecy and Vision through to Joanna:
As we approached the altar to hand in our forms, I felt the presence of the Lord very strongly. TLS, remember this day for I have cut the covenant which I promised earlier this year. The covenant which is like unto a bridge that needs to be held up on both ends firmly before people can cross over. TLS, I will honor this covenant and hold up my part of the covenant but you must hold up your part also before people can use this "bridge".I see in a vision a very strong bridge that is made of concrete. God is holding up one end of it and a few strong men holding the other. A lot of people are joyfully rushing across the bridge while the men holding the other end perspired away. I can see their veins popping out from beneath their skin as they give all the strength they can.
TLS, it os upon this bridge that I have built with you this day that many in time to come will use to draw close to me. Blessed are those will use this foundation that are built by the pioneers. But this day I say to those who are holding the other end of the bridge. Thou are even more blessed because I have called you to be my co-workers in holding the bridge, and this is a job fit only for my mighty men of valor.
