INTRODUCTION
The Book of Ephraim contains the
revelation of the Ancient and Divine Teaching of the thirteen original tribes
of the House of Israel.
It acquires its name from the
second son of Joseph in the Bible (Gen., 41:52-53), from whom the thirteenth tribe
of Israel takes
its name, and from whom many of the American black men and women descend.
The Book of Ephraim is based on
the Holy Bible, and is substantially a bible commentary that focuses its
attention on the development of the Nation of Israel and the role of the
descendants of the Tribe Ephraim.
As in the days of ancient times
when great men from the Tribe of Ephraim would blow the trumpets calling all
the tribes of the House of Israel together; the Book of Ephraim today summons
the descendants of the lost children of Israel back to the original teachings
of the Almighty and to the covenants that our fathers entered into with the
creator over four thousand years ago.
Those who are descendants of the
children of Israel
will hear this call. The Almighty has put within you that which when called
must hear. Those who are not will see nothing in these
words but senseless exhortations to an out-dated mode of living, which of
necessity conflicts with this present evil and decadent society.
The call is to Ephraim to take on
his rightful heritage and birthright. That heritage and birthright which
requires him to assume his position of leadership in righteousness and to walk
in the perpetual precepts that were established long ago by his great
forefathers.
“For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the hills of Ephraim shall cry,
arise ye and let us go to Zion unto
Jehovah our Greater.” Jer. 31:6
The Book of Ephraim is a key to
understanding the bible and the divine plan that the Almighty has been working
throughout the ages. It presents in the creator’s own words the inception of
the ancient House of Israel. A nation established to be the creator’s handiwork
in righteousness. To be a pure expression of the power and beauty and of all
that’s good in men and women living life in accordance to divinely instituted
statutes and ordinances.
It follows this divinely
established people called Israel
as they develop through the centuries; from their roots to their dispersion and
disappearance from the “Promise Land.”
It reveals the many prophecies that state unequivocally that the Almighty will raise up the descendents of this nation of Israel
and bring them back into the knowledge of the creator and His statutes.
It explains the statements of the
master concerning “The lost sheep of the House of Israel,” and his declared
mission to this House of Israel that had become like “scattered sheep.”
It explains how important this
lost House of Israel is. How the present day state of Israel
is a false pretender to be the entire House of Israel, and in reality has very
small claim to being even descendants to the three (3) tribes that constituted
the southern kingdom of Judah.
The tribes that remained in lower Palestine
after the northern ten (10) tribe kingdom
of Israel, under the leadership of
the half-African tribe of Ephraim were carried away into bondage.
The Book of Ephraim explains why
in Revelations, chapter 7:4, when we read,
“And I heard the number of them
that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every
tribe of the children of Israel.”
and it then names each of the
tribes and how many were sealed of each tribe; every tribe is mentioned except the tribe of Ephraim. Yet we read in the Book of Jeremiah,
“Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a
darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him
still. Therefore my heart yearneth for him.” Jer. 31:20
Read this! It is the Almighty
speaking through the ages to you, Ephraim.
Although you have gone astray
from his ways.
“Ephraim and Manasseh are mine, even as Reuben and Simeon shall be mine...they shall
be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.” “...Let my
name be named on them and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac...” Gen.
48:5, 6, 16
