THE AWAKENING OF EPHRAIM
PART 24 — THE AWAKENING OF EPHRAIM
The King Is Gathering His People and the Kingdom Is Drawing Near
Throughout this series we have followed a story that began long before any of us were born.
A story that began long before kingdoms rose and fell.
A story that began long before nations were established.
A story that began in the very beginning.
In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning, Elohim established His Kingdom.
In the beginning, Elohim established His order.
In the beginning, Elohim established His purpose.
And from the beginning, He declared the end.
This has always been His story.
The story of redemption.
The story of restoration.
The story of covenant.
The story of the Kingdom.
The story of the King.
Throughout this series we have followed the prophetic trail left throughout Scripture.
We have seen the scattering.
We have seen the exile.
We have seen the division of the Kingdom.
We have seen the breaking of the sticks.
We have seen the dry bones.
We have seen the loss of identity.
We have seen the nations.
We have seen the remnant.
We have seen the awakening.
We have seen the gathering.
We have seen the restoration.
We have seen the witness.
We have seen the Gospel.
We have seen the Kingdom.
And through every chapter one truth has remained constant.
Yahuah keeps His promises.
Empires rise.
Empires fall.
Nations rise.
Nations fall.
Governments come.
Governments go.
The philosophies of men appear and disappear.
The traditions of men come and go.
The systems of Babylon rise and fall.
Yet the Word of Elohim remains.
His promises remain.
His covenant remains.
His Kingdom remains.
His purpose remains.
His plan remains.
One of the greatest lessons revealed throughout this series is that what appears to be chaos is often providence.
What appears to be scattering becomes gathering.
What appears to be judgment becomes restoration.
What appears to be loss becomes preparation.
What appears to be exile becomes positioning.
What appears to be death becomes resurrection.
The dry bones live.
The scattered awaken.
The remnant responds.
The covenant is remembered.
The Gospel advances.
The Kingdom draws near.
This is why the awakening of Ephraim matters.
Not because Ephraim is the focus.
The King is the focus.
Not because identity is the focus.
The Kingdom is the focus.
Not because restoration is the focus.
The Restorer is the focus.
Not because the remnant is the focus.
The Shepherd is the focus.
Every road ultimately leads to the King.
The awakening points to the King.
The restoration points to the King.
The Gospel points to the King.
The Kingdom points to the King.
The witnesses point to the King.
The watchmen point to the King.
The remnant points to the King.
Everything points to the King.
This is where many people miss the larger picture.
The awakening of Ephraim is not merely about discovering who we are.
It is about discovering whose we are.
It is not merely about restoring identity.
It is about restoring covenant.
It is not merely about recovering truth.
It is about walking in truth.
It is not merely about gaining knowledge.
It is about living in obedience.
The goal was never information.
The goal was always transformation.
The goal was always restoration.
The goal was always preparation.
The goal was always the Kingdom.
The Gospel of the Kingdom therefore stands at the center of everything.
Repentance.
Redemption.
Salvation.
Restoration.
Covenant.
Kingdom.
These are not separate messages.
They are one message.
One Gospel.
One King.
One Kingdom.
One purpose.
Yet even this is bigger than many realize.
The Gospel was never merely about saving individuals.
The Gospel was always about restoring a Kingdom.
The Gospel was always about restoring a people.
The Gospel was always about restoring covenant relationship between the Creator and His creation.
The Gospel was always about bringing a rebellious world back under the righteous government of the King.
The Gospel begins with repentance.
It proceeds through redemption.
It is secured through the work of the Kinsman Redeemer.
It is received through grace by faith.
It produces obedience.
It restores covenant relationship.
And it culminates in the establishment of the Kingdom of Elohim upon the earth.
This is the message that has echoed from Genesis to Revelation.
This is the message proclaimed by the prophets.
This is the message proclaimed by Yahusha.
This is the message proclaimed by the apostles.
This is the message that must still be proclaimed today.
The call has never changed.
Repent.
Return.
Believe.
Obey.
Prepare.
Endure.
Proclaim.
The call given to Noah remains relevant.
The call given to Israel remains relevant.
The call given to the prophets remains relevant.
The call given by John remains relevant.
The call given by Yahusha remains relevant.
The call given by the apostles remains relevant.
The King is coming.
Prepare the way.
Throughout this series we have repeatedly returned to the reality that we appear to be living near the conclusion of the preparation day.
While no man knows the day or the hour, we are instructed to understand the season.
The signs surround us.
The shaking surrounds us.
The confusion surrounds us.
The lawlessness surrounds us.
The deception surrounds us.
Yet so does the awakening.
So does the restoration.
So does the gathering.
So does the witness.
So does the Gospel of the Kingdom.
So does the preparation of the remnant.
The same generation witnessing unprecedented deception is also witnessing unprecedented awakening.
The same generation witnessing unprecedented confusion is also witnessing unprecedented restoration.
The same generation witnessing unprecedented rebellion is also witnessing unprecedented hunger for truth.
The King is gathering His people.
The remnant is awakening.
The witness is spreading.
The Gospel is advancing.
The Kingdom is drawing near.
One of the greatest lessons the remnant must learn is that preparation is not passive.
Preparation is active.
Preparation is discipleship.
Preparation is obedience.
Preparation is growth.
Preparation is maturity.
Preparation is becoming the people we were always called to be.
The wise virgins did not wait until the cry went out to seek oil.
They prepared beforehand.
They trimmed their wicks beforehand.
They filled their lamps beforehand.
They made readiness a way of life.
The same is true for us.
Now is the time to trim our wicks.
Now is the time to fill our lamps.
Now is the time to deepen our understanding.
Now is the time to strengthen our households.
Now is the time to strengthen our walk.
Now is the time to become mature disciples.
Now is the time to become faithful witnesses.
The harvest fields stand before us.
White unto harvest.
The opportunities are everywhere.
The questions are everywhere.
The hunger is everywhere.
The confusion is everywhere.
The laborers remain few.
This must change.
The remnant must become laborers.
The remnant must become disciplers.
The remnant must become teachers.
The remnant must become watchmen.
The remnant must become witnesses.
The remnant must become Kingdom citizens who actively advance the Kingdom.
Too many are waiting for someone else to do the work.
Too many are waiting for a more convenient season.
Too many are waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Too many are waiting for someone else’s calling.
The King has already given the assignment.
Go.
Teach.
Disciple.
Proclaim.
Witness.
Prepare.
Serve.
Endure.
Walk as Messiah walked.
Teach what Messiah taught.
Live as Kingdom citizens.
The awakening was never intended to end with knowledge.
The awakening was intended to produce action.
The awakening was intended to produce disciples.
The awakening was intended to produce laborers.
The awakening was intended to produce witnesses.
The awakening was intended to prepare a people for the return of the King.
This is why the work is not finished.
This series may be ending.
But the mission is not ending.
The assignment is not ending.
The witness is not ending.
The Gospel is not ending.
The preparation is not ending.
The harvest remains.
The laborers are still needed.
The remnant still has work to do.
The watchmen still have warnings to sound.
The disciples still have disciples to make.
The families still have children to teach.
The assemblies still have believers to strengthen.
The nations still need to hear the Gospel of the Kingdom.
The mission continues.
The responsibility continues.
The calling continues.
This is why the conclusion of this series is not truly an ending.
It is a beginning.
A beginning for those who have awakened.
A beginning for those who have returned.
A beginning for those who have embraced the Kingdom message.
A beginning for those who have answered the call.
A beginning for those who have chosen covenant.
A beginning for those who have chosen discipleship.
A beginning for those who have chosen obedience.
A beginning for those who have chosen to prepare.
Because now comes the most important question.
What will you do with what you have learned?
Will you remain a hearer?
Or become a doer?
Will you remain a spectator?
Or become a laborer?
Will you remain asleep?
Or become a watchman?
Will you remain silent?
Or become a witness?
Will you remain comfortable?
Or answer the call?
Every generation has faced moments of decision.
Every generation has faced moments of testing.
Every generation has faced moments requiring faithfulness.
This generation is no different.
Perhaps that is why you are here.
Perhaps that is why you have encountered this message.
Perhaps that is why you have begun asking questions.
Perhaps that is why your eyes have been opened.
Perhaps that is why your heart has been stirred.
Perhaps that is why the awakening resonates so deeply.
Because Yahuah has placed you here for a purpose.
Not by accident.
Not by chance.
Not by coincidence.
By design.
By providence.
By calling.
By purpose.
This series has taught that every believer has a testimony.
Every believer has a witness.
Every believer has a calling.
Every believer has an assignment.
Every believer has a place within the Kingdom.
You may never stand before thousands.
You may never write books.
You may never lead a ministry.
Yet your faithfulness matters.
Your obedience matters.
Your witness matters.
The Kingdom advances one obedient servant at a time.
One disciple at a time.
One family at a time.
One testimony at a time.
One act of obedience at a time.
Never underestimate what Elohim can do through a faithful servant.
Never underestimate what Elohim can do through a faithful family.
Never underestimate what Elohim can do through a faithful remnant.
The story is not finished.
The King has not yet returned.
The Kingdom has not yet been fully established.
The restoration has not yet been completed.
The Greater Exodus has not yet reached its fulfillment.
The gathering has not yet concluded.
The witness has not yet ended.
The work remains.
The harvest remains.
The calling remains.
The opportunity remains.
Therefore let us continue.
Let us study.
Let us learn.
Let us apply.
Let us grow.
Let us share.
Let us repeat.
Let us proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Let us walk as Messiah walked.
Let us teach what Messiah taught.
Let us live as Kingdom citizens.
Let us prepare our households.
Let us strengthen the remnant.
Let us disciple the nations.
Let us prepare the way of the King.
And let us be found faithful when He comes.
The awakening is real.
The gathering is real.
The restoration is real.
The Gospel is real.
The Kingdom is real.
The King is real.
And soon the prayer taught by Yahusha will be fulfilled in its fullness:
“Your Kingdom come.
Your will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven.”
Until that day, let us labor.
Until that day, let us endure.
Until that day, let us remain faithful.
Until that day, let us prepare.
Until that day, let us proclaim.
Until that day, let us watch.
Until that day, let us walk in covenant.
Because the King is gathering His people.
The Kingdom is drawing near.
The remnant is awakening.
The harvest is before us.
The lamps must be full.
The wicks must be trimmed.
The watchmen must remain awake.
The witnesses must continue proclaiming.
The disciples must continue making disciples.
The Gospel of the Kingdom must continue going forth to the four corners of the earth.
And then the end shall come.
The story is not Ephraim.
The story is not Israel.
The story is not the remnant.
The story is not the watchmen.
The story is not any ministry.
The story is not any teacher.
The story is not any movement.
The story is the King.
The story is the Kingdom.
The story is redemption.
The story is restoration.
The story is Yahuah declaring the end from the beginning.
And the awakening has only just begun.
