of the self, heartfelt repentance of sins, and sincerely calling upon YEHOVAH
God DIRECTLY as SAVIOR, REDEEMER and LORD. While no mediator was
required for those called and chosen by YEHOVAH God, Moses was the Old
Testament mediator between the children of Israel and YEHOVAH God.
However, that mediation lasted only as long as Moses lived. Under the New
Testament covenant there is "one God and one Mediator between God and men,
the Man Christ Jesus" (I Timothy 2:5). Following his death and resurrection he
became an EVERLASTING MEDIATOR for those Israelites who will rise up in
the Second Resurrection. Those of Israel who truly turn to YEHOVAH in this way
will experience forgiveness, grace and the power and joy of the holy spirit. They
will be given a "heart of flesh" and the Torah will be "written in their hearts"
(Isaiah 45:22-24; 43:25; Psalm 145:18; 103:9-14; 40:6-8; Micah 6:6-8; Ezekiel
18; Genesis 12:1-3; Jeremiah 16:19; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2-3).

8. The HOPE of Israel is the resurrection. Resurrection is spoken of ONLY
in the context of Israel – but NEVER of any other nation. Resurrection is also
in the context of those who know what is written in the Law. We have to note and
agree that every prophet of Israel was sent ONLY to Israel as a people, although
they prophesied about others. YEHOVAH God has determined that the New
Covenant is made with none others apart from Israel. The New Covenant is
made with those who had the Old Covenant – NAMELY ISRAEL ONLY. It would
not be a New Covenant to anyone else! In the New Covenant or Testament the
Messiah LIMITS the resurrection and eternal life to those YEHOVAH God has
given him. IT IS ONLY FOR “SHEEP.” The Messiah says, “I give UNTO THEM
[the “sheep”], eternal life” (John 10:27-28; Matthew 10:5-6; Matthew 25:33-34).

9. YEHOVAH’s Ecclesia (Church) can ONLY be made up of physical
Israelites who have been called by YEHOVAH God and who have accepted the
Messiah’s sacrifice for their past offences. The "Church" must be comprised of
those who are from the House of Judah plus the House of Israel, who are
redeemed under the terms of the New Testament made to Israel. The Old
Testament congregation of Israel is repeatedly called the "Congregation of the
LORD" in Scripture. It was founded upon YEHOVAH God and His laws, and the
New Testament congregation ("Church") is no different! The rest of the Israelites
will receive their chance at the Second Resurrection that occurs after the 1,000-
year reign of YEHOVAH God and the Messiah. (Acts 7:38; 1 Corinthians 1:2).

10. The people known as Jews today are not who they seem. According to
the popular concept the word “Jew” is supposed to relate to Israel, or to all of
YEHOVAH’s “chosen race” as a single entity. But, prophecy from Moses on gives
separation between each tribe of Israel and also separation in destiny between
the House of Israel and the House of Judah, right into the “last days”. Yet,
