LOST SHEEP OF BRIT YISRAEL

LOST SHEEP OF BRIT YISRAEL

Did He Say….

“Sent to the Church”?

“Sent to another Nation or People”?

24 But He answered and said, They [4582] did not send Me but to the lost sheep of Beit Yisrael, who went astray and whored. [4583]

25 Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, Master, help me.

[4582] Shem Tov reference: A reference to the plurality of divinity.

[4583] This incident is interesting in that the disciples wanted to send her away seeing that in the natural she was a Canaanite woman. Yet Messiah apparently knew she had Yisraelite heritage due to His response that indicated that He would not abandon her, since He had come for the lost sheep of Yisrael, which apparently He knew her to be.

Beit Yisrael / Covenant Israel

5 These twelve YAH-USHA sent forth and commanded them, saying, Go not the way of the nations by staying away from pagan practices, [4526] [4527] and into any city of the Shomronim [4528] enter not:

6 But go rather to the lost sheep that have strayed and whored [4529] from Beit Yisrael. [4530]

7 And as you go, proclaim, saying, The malchut ha shamayim [4531] is offered.

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out shedim: freely you have received, freely give.

The Besorah According To Matthew (Mattityahu) 10:5-8 RSTNE 7th Edition

Footnotes:

[4526] Since Efrayim had become the “fullness of the nations” this verse is often seen as a contradiction. Not so. It is simply Messiah telling His disciples that as they search for Yisrael’s lost sheep, they are not to go the way of, or the pagan path of the nations. This order is a mere restatement of Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 10:1-5. This is confirmed by the Aramaic Peshitta.

[4527] Lamsa’s Peshitta p. 961.

[4528] Due to the intense hatred between Jews and Shomronites, Messiah wanted to display His love for those Efrayimites by opening the way Himself in Yochanan/John 4. This was a crucial task and He wanted to do it right. After displaying the proper manner to reach them by modeling His love for Efrayim in Samaria, He would later command and allow the disciples to do likewise in Acts 1:8. So this is not an injunction against going to the Efrayimites in Samaria. Rather it’s a matter of timing and proper instructions from the Master.

[4529] Shem Tov reference.

[4530] In this broad context House of Yisrael refers to all twelve tribes and not merely Efrayim, as many Dual Covenant theologians teach.

[4531] Kingdom restored as seen in Acts 1:8.
