“Gabriel’s Revelation” stone, revealing the resurrection of Ephraim, not Messiah!

Gabriel’s Revelation (also named Hazon Gabriel or the Vision of Gabriel) is a 3 ft tall tablet with 87 lines of Hebrew containing what appears to be a prophecy written in the first person and dated to the late First Century BCE. It is being hailed by some to be a “Dead Sea scroll in stone”.

“The ink-on-stone document, which is owned by a Swiss-Israeli antiques collector and reportedly came to light about a decade ago, has been dated by manuscript and chemical experts to a period just before Jesus’ birth. Some scholars think it may originally have been part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a trove of religious texts found in caves on the West Bank that were possibly associated with John the Baptist. The tablet is written in the form of an end-of-the-world prediction in the voice of the angel Gabriel; one line, for instance, predicts that ‘in three days you will know evil will be defeated by justice.’” - Time/CNN
I read through the translation and repeatedly thought of “Ephraim” and his third day resurrection prophesied by Hosea (Chapter 6:2) and Ezekiel’s “dry bones” (Chapter 37).
He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him. - Hosea 6:2
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Master יהוה, You know.” - Ezekiel 37:3
The context of Hosea 6 points to Ephraim, the House of Joseph (10-Israel). In fact, the entire book of Hosea predominantly regards the the Northern Kingdom and her spiritual adultery. And Hosea 6:2 plainly says Ephraim will be resurrected on the third day. It doesn’t mention nor even allude to Messiah’s resurrection. Messiah Yeshua was actually raised after the completion of three days and three nights of death. Ephraim, having been figuratively dead for 2,700 years, will likely be revived during the third day following his death as “a people” in 722 BC (note: interpreting a single day as a thousand years is common in Eschatology). We do not deny that Yeshua’s death and resurrection will play an important part in Ephraim’s redemption and revival, but Hosea 6:2 is simply giving us clues in the timing of Ephraim’s eventual resurrection and Gabriel’s Stone is likely alluding to the same.
Lines 80 and 81 of the tablet read something like “In three days, live, I Gabriel command you, (81) prince of the princes, the dung of the rocky crevices…”
Line 81 alone should indicate to any Christian and/or Messianic believer that Gabriel was not talking to or referring to Messiah Yeshua. Our Messiah was a pure Lamb, having nothing to do with dung, but the House of Joseph (Ephraim) was prophesied to be cast into the nations/goyim where he would become unclean (Hosea 9:3; Ezekiel 4:13) and later be hunted from “the crevices of the rocks” (Jeremiah 16:16). I’m surprised a Talmudic scholar like Israel Knohl didn’t make the connection. To be completely honest, I think the temptation to use something like this to discredit Messiah Yeshua is too great for it to be interpreted in any different light. For the anti-missionary and/or Marxist-Atheist-Darwinist types, they find jubilation whenever they discover such “weapons” to use against Christians. Yet, if the majority of Christians were not ignorant of the Two-House reality, this particular archaeological discovery wouldn’t be an easy weapon to employ against them.
Furthermore, line 22’s “wicked branch, plastered white” could be pointing to the wild and crooked branch of Ephraim and the many nations (goyim) that descend from him, who have been “plastered white” after trusting in Messiah Yeshua as Savior.
I wouldn’t be quite so dogmatic about my interpretation had the tablet not actually convicted “Ephraim” by NAME. Consider lines 16 and 17: “My servant David, ask of Ephraim, place the sign; I ask of you.” Of course “my servant David” points to Messiah ben David, but it is Messiah who is to be a sign or ensign setup to draw Ephraim’s goyim to return to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 11:10-11; Genesis 48:19).
Lines 19 through 21 “By three days you shall know…the evil has been broken before righteousness” could be referring to the three day sign of Jonah, which Yeshua’s death was to represent, but it could also be describing the three days of Hosea 6:2, just as line 80 likely alludes to.
Personally, I find this tablet to be yet one more proof that Ephraim (10-Israel) had not rejoined the Jews in the Land by the First Century era, just as Flavius Joseph, R. Akiva, and R. Eliezer later confirm (see 10 Reasons the Jews are from Judah).
Things “One-Housers” hope You never find out!

If you don’t already know, a “One-Houser” is someone who denies that there remains a Two House/Two Kingdom reality of Israel in modern times. They view “the Jews” as exclusively representing all 12 tribes of Israel. Their world-view/paradigm is basically opposite to that of a “Two-Houser”, which is better defined here: Two House Theology (Reality) defined and defended.
So here are some things “One-Housers” hope you never find out (you’ll rarely ever hear them mention these things when they accuse Two-Housers of “lies”, “error”, “heresy”, and/or “bad exegesis“):
- They hope you never find out what Flavius Josephus said regarding the 10 Tribes of Israel in the 1st Century CE(AD).
- They hope you never find out who the Parthians and Saka-related peoples were in the 1st Century CE(AD).
- They hope you never find out that the Great Migration Period into Europe started shortly after the collapse of Parthia and other Saka-related Kingdoms because of their wars with the Romans which contributed to the rise of the Sassanid Persian Empire (both ancient and modern enemies of Israel and the Jewish People).
- They hope you never find out what the Rabbis knew and believed regarding the 10 Tribes of Israel in the 1st Century CE(AD).
- They hope you never find out what modern Rabbis currently know and believe regarding the 10 Tribes of Israel.
- They hope you never visit non-Messianic Two-House Jewish websites like Kol HaTor, United Israel, and Brit-Am.
- They hope you never understand the Exponential Human Population Growth equation and the Genghis Khan Effect, especially where they confirm the Deuteronomy 33:17 Prophecy.
- They hope you never start reading your bible without filtering its meaning through their “One-Houser” commentary. See the Promise of Multitudes to get started in your paradigm shift.
- They hope you never realize the ancient Hebrew Prophets indicated the House of Judah (Jew-da) and the House of Israel (Joe-seph) would still be two separate Houses in the Last Days (End Times)!
- Finally, they hope you never realize the Messianic book (scroll) of Revelation (hitgalut) is dedicated to the “revealing”, regathering, and preservation of a remnant of all 12 tribes of Israel, not just the two tribes of Jew-dah. Start reading the Revelation of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) given to Yohannan (John).
Please Note: “Two-Housers” will one day be “One-Housers” also, but that transition will only take place after the-Anointed Son of David (Ha-Mashaikh ben Dawid) unites both Houses into One House, or One Stick as Ezekiel 37 prophesies He will do in the Last Days. We are in the Last Days, so that transition and this battle of world-views will be over SOON! Halleluyah!!

Upcoming Biblical Holidays
Many of you have asked about the dates of the upcoming biblical holidays. On the Karaite Korner website we have listed Yom Teruah, the Day of Shouting, as “October 2, 2008 (pending sighting)”. Further down the page the new moon observation for September 30, 2008 is also listed as “pending sighting”. The truth is that there is little chance the moon will be visible on September 30th, but we will look just to make sure. On September 30th the moon has a “lagtime” of twenty
minutes, which means the moon will set over Jerusalem only twenty minutes after sunset. In over twenty years of new moon observations no one has ever seen a new moon from Israel with only twenty minutes of lagtime and all the prediction criteria consider this sighting impossible. However, because there is a biblical holiday involved we will look all the same. If we do not see the moon on September 30th, then the next evening, October 1st becomes new moon by default. Yom Teruah will then be the evening of October 1st and the daytime of October 2nd.The expected dates of the biblical holidays and the new moon sightings are posted at:

Protocols of Zion (2005) film review

For years I’ve wondered how a large population of the world would again generate enough hatred to allow for or desire another “Jewish” Holocaust. Protocols of Zion is a documentary which reveals a rapidly growing under-current of Anti-Judaism and Anti-Zionism in the world today. This under-current has been present for centuries, but after 9-11, it has become more frequently a very real and very popular public-current.
A growing number of sheeple in the world actually believe “the Jews caused the 9-11 attacks, no Jews died in 9-11, and the Jews rule the world by proxy”. This documentary does an impressive job reconnecting the modern phenomenon with the Nazi ideology largely derived from a one hundred year old forgery known as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It was one of the stimuli for Hitler’s extermination of Jew-dah. The German youth believed it because they wanted to believe it… the same way they, the youth, want to believe the same lies today. Mankind has an ancient affinity for finding a scapegoat to lay the blame of their own ills. So as the world economies spiral into collapse as they did before WWII, expect the new Beast to convince the world to again point their fingers at Jew-dah. Yet, this time Ephraim (House of Joseph) will also be on the receiving end of the Beast’s rage which is described in the book of Revelation.
All the chess pieces are moving into place and they all have an eye on Zion. I strongly encourage every Jew and Joe (Ephraimite) to watch the Protocols of Zion (2005).
