Final Thoughts
Yahshua is the Bridegroom, and the Torah is a record of His Instructions. Until we both believe on Him and keep His Instructions, our worship of Him is far from complete. It might also be noted that separation from one’s own people (‘consecration’ in some versions) is highly regarded in Scripture, and it always carries a huge blessing. The reason for this is simple: YHWH created man as a social animal. It was not good for the man to be alone (Genesis 2:18).
However, there are some circumstances in which men must be separated from their brothers (and even from normal life) in order to serve YHWH better. In the language of Scripture, these individuals are thought to be ‘set apart from the world’ (which is the actual meaning of the word ‘holy.’)
In the Hebrew mind, to be in the world but not of it, is to be ‘set apart’ from the world. Moreover, the greater the degree of separation (or set-apartness), the greater is the reward that accrues. This is because greater set-apartness requires greater devotion and effort to maintain the ‘living sacrifice.’
The Christian phase of history is coming to a close. As Ephraim begins to return, Elohim is calling them into an ever-closer walk with Him. He asks them to come back not just to the true Covenant, but also to His eternally divine language.
Since prophecy tells us that this final phase has already started, we should be able to look at the world and find a group of believers in the Messiah (both Protestant and otherwise) who are attempting to reestablish their identity as the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. There are in fact several such groups, and their numbers are rapidly growing. They are also known as “The Hebrew Roots Movement”[, or better put; “The Hebrew Roots Awakening”. Are you beginning to awaken?].

Sources of Scripture for this article -
Unless analyzing the source languages, the New King James Version were used as a base, and then names and terms were corrected to the Hebraic forms. This is simply because the New King James Version is easy to read, and whenever it did not portray the necessary information, source languages were referred to. All words in (parentheses) are the author’s. [Almost all words in [brackets] are that of the editor, for the sole purpose of reducing the length of this important document as to make it more desirable (due to time constraints) to read.]
When referencing the source texts, the Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT) for the Tanach (Old
Testament) was used, and the Peshitta Aramaic for the Renewed Covenant (New Testament). However, in some places, the Shem Tov (ST) Hebrew Matthew was used, as the Church Fathers tell us that Matthew was originally written in Hebrew, and the Shem Tov may descend
from it, as it contains some insights that are not found in any other Matthew manuscript.
Sadly, the ‘inspired original’ manuscripts do not seem to be extant today. The Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT), the Peshitta Aramaic and the Shem Tov Hebrew Matthew all seem to incorporate at least some degree of scribal error or corruption in their present forms. Even
though none of these texts are likely to be the inspired originals, they are used because they represent the best things we have available in a Semitic tongue today.
Why? Because I believe the Renewed Covenant (NT) must have been originally inspired in a Semitic tongue; yet when it helped illustrate a point I referred to such Greek source texts as the Septuagint (LXX), the Bibleworks Greek Text, and others. When appropriate I will also used the Mageira (MGI) translation of the Peshitta Aramaic, with the names corrected to their
Hebraic forms. Text was copied from PC Study Bible 5, Bibleworks 8, and from the Hebrew Masoretic Text.
