Review Quotes:
The recovering from the current amnesia that engulfs those "grafted in" over their relationship with the royal tribe Judah can be found only in the most remote past, in the Hebraic Heritage of the Christian faith. Hence, it's high time to face some facts and refer to the former days in which known truths have been established, and to obtain a proper vision of the dynamics involved in the early centuries, if we are to "reconnect." To that end, with their invaluable, theological, historical research and contribution, Doug Hamp and Chris Steinle do not spare us any hard truths while giving a better, more biblical paradigm to see Yeshua, the precious cornerstone of the Ekklesia, being the meeting point between Jews and Gentiles, having unified them in one family.

Dr. Doug Hamp and Chris Steinle have done a masterful accomplishment by upholding and expanding upon the theological understandings embedded in Commonwealth Theology (CT) - wherein the New Covenant is wholly committed to the House of Israel (the Ten Northern Tribes) and the House of Judah (the Two Southern Tribes) (See: Jer. 31:31-34). CT does not espouse two New Covenants--but one committed to His "Ekklesia in the Wilderness" . . . the very one Yeshua said He would build via that same New Covenant (Acts 7:38; Matt. 16:18).
"ALL ISRAEL'S" restoration commences with the interior work of the Spirit of God within the "new heart . . . and put a new spirit in you . . . put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and (to) be careful to keep my laws" (Ezk. 36:26-27)--even so this commenced both at the cross of Messiah and when Yeshua infused the disciples: "He breathed into them and said, 'Receive you the Holy Breath'" (John 20:22). The Jews of Galilee were the initial participants of this awakening of the Valley of Dry Bones (Ezk. 37) but eventually as history records, it was those of Ephraim (aka, Jezreel, Samaria, Israel) who were en masse the benefactors of this New Marriage Contract--"married to another, even to Him Who is raised from the dead" (See: Rom. 7:1-5) - and rightly so in that Ephraim-Israel, lost among the Nations (Hosea 8:8-9), was divorced by Yawah (Jer. 3:8) but her "treacherous sister" was not because "THE SCEPTER SHALL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH" (Gen. 49:10; Num. 24:17; Psa. 2:6; 60:7; 72:8; 108:8; Isa. 42:1, 4) . . . but now a New Covenant, made in blood, has been made!
