You worship that of which you do not have daas [MELACHIM BAIS 17:28-41]; we worship that of which we have daas, because Yeshuat Eloheinu (salvation) is from the Yehudim [Isa 2:3; Ro 9:3]. (John 4:22) It is important that we be good students of the Scripture. There is a destructive element that has grown a great deal in recent years and has been the greatest contributor to people falling away from Yeshua our Melech Mashyach and it is this two house movement also known as the Ephramite identity movement. This is a theology that was crafted in the charismatic church in the late 1800s and gained its footing in the 1920s. It is an unbiblical concept because as we see in the Hebrew of Ezekiel 37. It says Ve•ata venadam kach-lecha etz echad oochtov alav liYhoodi veliv`nei Israel chaverav cha•ve•rav oolkach etz echad oochtov alav leYosip etz Ephrayim vechol-beit Israel chaverav. In verse 16, it shows that Ephraim would be grafted into Yehudi and the thing that is interesting is there is NOT a Hei there to make it Yehudah as in the tribe. But rather it is paralleling the 48 times in the scripture where it speaks of conversion to the Jewish faith. This as well parallels the conversion practices for Bnei Noach or Ger Tzaddikim in Acts 15. This can further be proven by the fact that not a single time is Ephraim synonymous with that of Israel, only the Jews. The talking point that if you are not born jewish you will never be Jewish is a huge misstep by those who do not know hebrew. For in the Yerushalemi Talmud in Berachos 31b it says blessed be the convert for he has chosen to take upon himself the yoke of the Torah. What does this have to do with knowing Hebrew? A great deal. Because Yehudi is not the same as Yehudah. Yehudah is spelled with a Hei at the end symbolizing that it is through a genealogical house that one is combined and not through faith, it means nothing in terms of what their faith is, for they are not Jews if they do not practice Judaism. But the word for Jew which is Yehudi is spelled with a yud at the end and the sages say that the yud is made of three parts, a prong pointing upward to the One above, a prong directed downwards to earth and the middle point uniting both (Zohar Vayikra 147). Thus is the reason the word Yehudi meaning Jew, has nothing to do with bloodline for the word Jew means one who is consecrated unto Hashem. This was the misstep if the woman in the verse when she said: The isha says to Yeshua, Adoni, I see that you are a navi.Avoteinu on this mountain (Gerizim) worshiped [DEVARIM 11:29; 27:12; YEHOSHUA 8:33] and you say that in Yerushalayim is the place where it is necessary to worship. [DEVARIM 12:5-14; TEHILLIM 122:1-5] (John 4:19-21) She believed that there was a separation from her and the Jewish people and Yeshua made note in the next verse to simply believe in him (who is Hashem) showing all one must do is consecrate themselves unto Hashem and they are Jewish. It is not about bloodline my friends. This is why Rav Shaul said to pay no attention to endless geneologies.
