The Man The Tribe The Land – Yisrael/Israel – Prophetic In Every Way Part 3

The Land

Eretz  land  אֶרֶץ

Yisrael

pronounced: Iss-rah-el

The term

Land of Israel

is a direct translation of the Hebrew phrase

ארץ ישראל ‎ 

Eretz Yisrael,

which occasionally occurs in the Bible,

and is first mentioned in the

Tanakh/Old Testament in

1 Samuel 13:19,

following the Exodus, when the

Israelite tribes were already in the

Land of Canaan.

The Name Yisrael means

God strives,

it is another name of Jacob and his descendants.

ישראל

Strongs 3478

Original Word: יִשְׂרָאֵל
Transliteration: Yisrael
Phonetic Spelling: yis-raw-ale’

The name Israel was first introduced in the Bible in

Gen. 32:29. “And he said, ‘Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a prince you have power with God and with men.

The study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history is called Etymology.

The roots of the word Yisrael come From the verb

sarah  שרה sara:

to become rigid from the retention of liquidity,

and

 the word

el אל

 God.

and from (1) the verb

ישר yashar, to be upright,

and (2) the word אל  ‘el, God.

This name has been translated several different ways including:

he wrestles with God,

Prince of God,

he struggles with God,

and several others.

The name Israel

is actually a complete sentence in one word.

The name has three components –

Y, SR and AL.

The Y is a prefix meaning he.

The AL usually pronounced as

el is the Hebrew word for God.

The SR is the part that seems to have caused

most of the problems in translation.

The Hebrew word

SR

literally means

turn the head.

It is often translated as

prince or ruler

one who turns the head of the people.

The feminine form of this word is SRH or Sarah.

Abraham’s wife Sarah was very beautiful

and probably

turned the head 

of the men who saw her.

Another word related to

SR is yasar

meaning discipline.

When you discipline your children you are

turning their head

from a path of bad to a path of good.

Because the Y is in front of the word SR 

we know that this is a verb and not a noun, this is standard Hebrew grammar; and can literally be translated as

he turns the head of God.

It can be understood that when Israel, either Jacob or his descendants; speaks to God, as the Father of Israel, He stops what He is doing and turns to His son and says

What do you want My son.

Today’s name is the Hebrew name of the

Land of Israel,

E•retz Yis•ra•el.

The word

a•retz

is the general word for

land,

and eretz

becomes more specific, and it means

the land of.

The Land of Israel is one of several names for an area of indefinite geographical extension in the Middle East. Related biblical, religious, and historical English terms/names include:

the Land of Canaan,

the Promised Land,

the Holy Land, and 

Palestine.

The land was called other names before being named Israel and through the centuries, the territory was known by a variety of other names, including

Canaan,

Djahy,

Samaria ,

Judea,

Yehud,

Iudaea,

Syria Palaestina

and Southern Syria.

Because of geopolitical reasons, the boundaries of

Eretz Yisrael

and, hence, the final borders of the

State of Israel,

have not yet been agreed upon between Israel and its neighbors.

The major obstacles are the territories of Judea and Samaria, which are claimed by the Palestinians as their land.

Biblically, these areas are under the definition of the

Land of Israel,

and especially those which comprise of major large parts of Jerusalem.

The official name of

Israel

in

Hebrew

is

 מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל ‎,

Medīnat Yisrā’el

or the

State of Israel.

And upon gaining independence in 1948,

the country formally adopted the name.

Israel has been the name of an ethnic group in the Levant going back at least 3200 years, based on the first known mention of the name in the written record, which was in ancient Egypt.

Based on the Bible itself, the ancient peoples of the Levant were generally named for their progenitors.

For example,

the smaller southern

kingdom of Judah

is named for Judah,

the son of Jacob.

The Levant

is an approximate historical geographical term referring to a large area in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Western Asia

with its islands

and neighboring countries.

In this post we have seen

the prophetic nature of

Israel

The Man – The Tribe – The Land 

in scripture

as in just how many prophecies have been fulfilled, not least that of Isaiah; in chapter 35:1-2,

the prophet said that although Israel would become a desolate land, its deserts would one day bloom again. Isaiah lived about 2,700 years ago.

He declared that the wasteland will come to life and recent rains in Israel have caused the deserts to bloom, just as Isaiah prophesied!

 

These prophesies confirm and reaffirm

YHWH

Yehovehs

hand is on His chosen place and people spiritually and physically; and leaving no doubt that as each one has been fulfilled to date that everyone yet incomplete will be, in His perfect timing.

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Exodus 3:15

His ways are not our ways and His thoughts not as ours.

As it’s only within the confines of the physical earth realm that we experience time constraints; the hour of His revealing will no doubt come as a thief in the night to the unprepared.

He has given us His Word both written and in Messiah Who was His Word made flesh.

Everything is written for our understanding so we should not be surprised or fearful of how He concludes His plan and the events of the end of the age. We are clearly given the signs/signals of their unfolding in His teaching about the very last days before His return, He told His disciples to watch Israel/Yisrael and the increasing interest that other nations show in her, as a sign/signal of His coming:

When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that it will soon be destroyed….

This is recorded in Matthew 25, Mark 16 and Luke as well as in His Revelation in the Brit Chadashah /the new Testament; and by all the Prophets in the Tanakh/the old Testament.

 

Surely the end times began as Yeshua/Jesus’ physical earthly life ended. The religious leaders and many others missed the day of their visitation. It seems crazy that all the prophets had told them ahead of time what to look for, that they did not see it, and recognize the events unfolding before their very eyes as literal prophecy was being fulfilled in real time.

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 2 Cor.3:14.

2000+ years later let’s be sure that we do not miss the signs/signals of His imminent return according to His Word and specifically those of Yeshua/Jesus recorded in

Matthew, Mark, Luke and Rev.

For as certain as those we have just looked at have already come to pass; so will every word ..

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Matthew 5:18.

Maranatha  – Come Lord Jesus/Yeshua HaMashiach

The cup of indignation of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Yisrael is full.

Once more it is at critical measure and the earth is again filled with violence as in the days of Noe/Noah and Lot. This time He is not sending a flood but fire and He is coming as judge to those who have rejected Him, His Son, and His offer of forgiveness and redemption.

The compensation is that on seeing Him,

the scripture says

all Israel/Yisrael will be saved

for they shall look upon the one they pierced.

As the veil is removed from their eyes.

we are grafted in to spiritual Israel;

A Jew is not one

outwardly

but

inwardly

and there is no scripture that demands anyone convert to the religion of Judaism. The words of Jesus/Yeshua are clear..

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly,

nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly;

and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose [a]praise is not from men but from God.

Romans 2:28

Let’s remain humble and thankful in a

repentant attitude of heart and mind.

In the midst of the worlds chaos

we must stay in that place of true shalom/peace.

As Job said,

I know that my redeemer lives

and He is returning for

His Bride

and we are

His Kallat Mashiach

His K’doshiym – His Holy Ones.

Israel/Yisrael is the apple of His eye

His land

His first fruits

it is where

He chose to put His Name.

And it is His focus for timed events to unfold.

So do NOT be afraid or dismayed when events concerning Yerushalyim/Jerusalem are in front of our eyes and she is surrounded by her enemies once again.

Luke 21:20

According to scripture all

These things must take place; and when

is trodden underfoot for 42 months,

remember…

it was prophesied,

and so it will happen.

He is cleansing

His House – Beit El

and Mt Moriah;

it begins with the house of God.

1Pet 4:17 So, Judgment begins in the house of God

means:

That discipline begins in the house of God.

Accountability begins in the house of God.

Weeding (holiness; separation) begins in the house of God.

Time to circumcise our hearts….Because

The Man The Tribe The Land Yisrael/Israel

IS Truly

Prophetic In Every Way..

His will be done His kingdom come both in the earth and in our individual lives…

and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

It’s all about Life and Relationship, not Religion.

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry.

I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus.  Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’ name. Amen.
