Two Houses and the New Testament

.
As a foundation for understanding the teaching "Two Houses and the New Testament", we need to first understand "Biblical Terms for the Exiles of Israel". Yeshua gave the Torah at mount Sinai. The name of His covenant family was the house of Jacob (Exodus 19:5). When the house of Jacob broke the covenant at mount Sinai, they were given the following spiritual status:

1) Blind
2) Deaf
3) Dumb
4) Lame
5) Lepers
6) Poor and Needy
7) Sick and Wounded
8) Adulterous
9) Dry Bones (dead in exile)
10) Unclean

When Yeshua came at His first coming, Yeshua ministered to the LITERAL blind, the deaf, the lame, the lepers, and resurrected the dead. These are biblical terms that describe the spiritual status of the exiles of Israel for breaking the covenant at Mt Sinai. When Yeshua healed them, He was proclaiming His Messianic task to forgive them of their sins and return them to following His Torah while prophetically foreshadowing His role as the Kingly Messiah to restore and regather the exiles of Israel at His second coming.

In the study, "Two Houses and the New Testament", we will begin by looking at Yeshua's ministry at His first coming as given in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to restore His people to Torah and foreshadow His role at His second coming to gather and unite the twelve tribes of Israel. The first lesson explains the details surrounding John the Baptist and how his ministry was in the spirit of Elijah. The second lesson explains how the beginning of the book of Matthew is written to communicate that the Messiah, Israel and the Torah are one. The third lesson touches on Matthew 9:35-36, where we are told that Yeshua is teaching to the multitudes. The multitudes are likened to scattered sheep without a shepherd. Yeshua heals every manner of sickness and disease among them. The 'multitude' foreshadows the exiles of Israel who are like 'lost sheep'. Yeshua healing them foreshadows His role to gather the exiles of Israel and heal them of their wounds. Finally, we learn that in John 5 and John 9, Yeshua heals the blind and lame on the Sabbath. In doing so, Yeshua is alluding to His role to gather the exiles of Israel in the end of days at the dawn of the Messianic Era. In John 11, we are told about the resurrection of Lazarus. Lazarus foreshadows the exiles of Israel who are likened to dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14).

In looking at "Two Houses and the New Testament" in the book of Acts and the Epistles, Yeshua was asked in Acts 1:6 when He was going to "restore the Kingdom to Israel". The restoration of the Kingdom to Israel is the restoration of the tabernacle of David which had fallen. After the reign of kings David and Solomon, the nation of Israel was divided into Northern Kingdom and Southern Kingdom. Since king David ruled over all 12 tribes from Jerusalem, when their was a split within Israel, the tabernacle of David (12 tribes united) had fallen. As a result, it is the task of the Messiah of Israel to restore the tabernacle of David. In doing so, Yeshua wanted to have partners in this ministry task. Therefore, He trained 12 disciples and sent them into the nations to preach the Gospel of Yeshua which includes the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel.

Yeshua taught those who followed Him would be 'fishers of men' (Matthew 4:19). This is an allusion to the exiles of Israel (Jeremiah 16;14-16, Ezekiel 34:31, 36:10). After Paul's conversion in Acts 9, He was sent by Yeshua into the nations. Paul testified before king Agrippa that he was proclaiming the role of the Messiah to gather and unite the 12 tribes of Israel which is the "hope" of Israel (Acts 26:6-7). Paul's letters were primarily written to those from the Northern Kingdom of Israel (ten tribes / Ephraim / house of Joseph) who were scattered in the nations. 1 Peter was written to the Ten Tribes in exile. Because the Ten Tribes were scattered into the nations, when Paul shared his message which was primarily directed toward the Ten Tribes, those with whom they were living would hear the Gospel of Yeshua as well. As a result, the Gospel of Yeshua would be heard and taught to all nations as all nations would have the opportunity to receive Yeshua as the Messiah (John 3:16).
