COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
SECOND KINGS
980
Yisraelites ought to take careful note to never speak evil against, or ridicule the designated and anointed
leadership in our nation, regardless of outward appearance.
981
Another brief taste of unity against a common enemy.
982
The matriarchs of Yisrael (Rivkah, Leah and Rachel) were Arameans and the blood of the Arameans is highly
prevalent throughout all 12 tribes. Even though they often lived separate from Yisraelites, they are one people with
Yisrael. Most of Paul’s congregations established in Asia Minor due north of Yisrael, were in modern Turkey, or the
former Aramean lands. The Aramaic Peshitta uses Arameans throughout the Renewed Covenant, as opposed to the
word references for “Greek,” meaning that non-Jewish Efrayimites had much Aramean blood.
983
A confession made by returning Arameans in the Renewed Covenant as they rejoin the Commonwealth of Yisrael.
984
Yirsael is surrounded with legions of YHWH’s warring hosts of heaven.
985
There was some very limited intermingling between the two-houses after the split.
986
See note on Matthew 1:8.
987
As seen here even Jewish-Yisrael is full of Edomite and Aramean blood. How much more is Efrayim’s blood
mixed among the nations?
988
The ”lord’s” followers always get large crowds. YHWH’s people on the other hand are a small remnant.
989
YHWH’s people are spared from the fate of all “lord” worshippers.
990
The north fell in stages of Assyrian captivity. This first invasion probably was around 735 BCE under Tilgath-
Pilneser the third, with Samaria the capital falling finally in 721 BCE under the attack of Sargon the second.
991
The Arameans lived in Yisrael proper on and off throughout Yisrael’s history and often mixed with Yisrael,
becoming Yisrael, as in the case of the Aramean matriarchs of our forefathers.
992
Apparently an added part not ordered by YHWH, made so the priests could observe Shabbat after their morning
shift had ended without traveling back home.
993
The final fall of Efrayim-Yisrael under Shalmaneser.
994
Final assault.
995
Fall of the capital.
996
These areas were later key cities of the Medo-Persian Empire. This exile is 200 years before Judah was driven to
Babylon. The Efrayimite exile was beyond the River Euphrates in a northeast direction, whereas as the Jews went to
the area of the River Cheber due east into Babylon. There were two-houses, in two different dispersions, at two
different times. They were not the same people at that time.
997
Halah, Habor and Gozan were in the Mesopotamian region of the Assyrian empire, but the cities of the Medes
were located southeast of the Caspian Sea in modern Iran. It is likely that the Assyrians settled the Yisraelites in
many different areas of their empire (not just Nineveh), in order to prevent them from consolidating their strength.
The Lost Ten Tribes Of Yisrael Found; Steven M. Collins, p. 119.
998
House of Yisrael in context.
999
Today as then, the tribes of Efrayim are not existing anymore as an independent sovereign nation, but are in fact
being called out and rescued from the nations on an individual basis, one by one, by the Good News of Messiah
Yahshua.
1000
Both houses became abominable in His sight.
1001
Efrayim.
1002
The exile remains in effect and has never ended, until the Good News is proclaimed and received by truth
seeking individuals.
1003
Their descendants were the much-despised Samaritans of the Renewed Covenant. They were the hybrid
offspring of the Efrayimites who remained in the land and the Assyrians settlers, who settled in their lands of
victory. The Efrayimites came to Assyria and became Assyrians, and the Assyrians who come to Efrayim in the
north of Yisrael became Samaritans.
1004
The problem with Yisraelites in exile today and the world’s religions as well, is the deadly mixture of truth and
error, where the truth is obscured by the error, and the error chokes the seeker of truth. This deadly combination is
far more dangerous and nefarious than benign paganism itself.
1005
Until this very day most of the earth’s 3-4 billion blood Yisraelites do not follow His Torah. Judah does not follow
the living Torah Yahshua and Efrayim does not follow the written Torah. So both houses continue in partial
darkness.
1006
Nations where Yisraelites went and would later fill with mixed worship and Yisraelite seed.
1007
An ongoing problem in Yisrael. Mixed worship of truth and error, or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
that brings death.
1008
Efrayim fell in stages and the deportations also took place in stages.
1009
A clear-cut statement that the people of Yisrael knew and spoke Aramaic, and therefore were later able to pen the
Renewed Covenant in Aramaic as well.
1010
Miraculous healing did not start with Yahshua but was and remains the inheritance of righteous Yisrael.
1011 Aramaic Peshitta.
