12 Tribes 12 Apostles 2 Sticks 1 Staff:
Concluding Thoughts
I would like to mention again Yeshua’s words regarding the 12 Tribes and
12 Apostles:
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I
say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son
of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. – Matt. 19:28
That ye may eat and drink at my table
in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the
twelve tribes of Israel. – Luke 22:30
12 Apostles to Rule the 12 Tribes.
But as you have seen, I have given two possible methods, both with equal
merit in determining which Apostles is to be over which Tribes. Regardless,
each Apostle will have authority over at least 1 Tribe, and I have no problem
with an Apostle having a shared authority over 2 Tribes. It’s like a classroom
with a teacher; one teacher for one class. But if the teacher in authority over
the a class leaves the classroom and another teacher (a colleague of the other
teacher not a substitute) comes to temporarily take over, teach or watch over
the class, that teacher has the same authority as the first who had to leave.
So in similar fashion I see no problem with Apostles sharing authority over
more than one Tribe.
Today Believers in Yeshua the Messiah, many discovering they are of
Judah, Levi and other Tribes of Israel have taken up the Apostolic mantle and
are fervently “fishing” and “hunting” for, finding and ministering to the “12
tribes” that has been “scattered abroad.” We are living in a day when prophecy
is being fulfilled right before our very eyes!
I for one have discovered Judean and Gadite linage in my family and am
currently involved in ministering to the Igbo people of Nigeria who have been
found to be descendants of Gad’s sons Eri, Areli and Arodi. It has also been
found that portions of Levi, Judah, Zebulun and other tribes are among the Igbo
as well.
I have written a book containing the proofs of the Igbo’s linage in Gad
entitled, “Omenana: As in Israel, So in Igboland (Are Igbos, Hebrew?)” which

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men
shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of
the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard
that God is with you. – Zech. 8:23
This prophetic passage hints about the Jewish Apostles sent to the sent
to the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel and each Lost Tribe Finding an Apostle,
grabbing his Tzitzit and Begging to be brought back to Torah.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall
they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. – Hosea 8:8
This passage complements Zech. 8:23 in that it hints about how the 10 Tribes
will attach themselves to Judah and return to the Faith after they have settled
among or have become assimilated with the Gentile Nations and wake up to who
they really are.
We know Messiah will soon be returning and He will return for a full,
complete and spotless Bride and this fills me with hope that all the Lost
Tribes will be soon be found so the Bride can be complete and the Two Houses of
Israel will be reunited again as prophesied by Ezekiel 37.
It is my
sincere prayer that the reader was edified and enlightened on truths contained
in this series that have been hidden and obscured for nearly 2000 years, and that
this has caused a desire for the reader to walk in the Light of Truth, in the
footsteps of Yeshua the Messiah, by walking the Torah daily as He did and
taught us to do and this will cause us a have a yearning and a boldness to
reach the 12 and the 70. Shalom,
