IJN Hope

It was March 12, 2008 I had a dream in which I was removing a white substance from my eyes as I clearly was being blinded by it. I knew immediately that this dream was prophetic in nature and was revealed by the Lord. I had made note of the prominence of God’s Everlasting Covenant represented by the three sections of my IJNHope logo. The Lord instructed me to go to Mt 1:1 “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Avraham/Abraham.” Once again, I received confirmation from the Lord that His hand was upon this message and Logo as it was deeply rooted in Scripture and the Jewish roots of the Christian faith that have been long suppressed. He also brought to my remembrance the   story of Saul/Paul in Acts 9:18. In that story, Saul/Paul was blinded for three days, after the scales came off his eyes; he was called to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. I established that there was a connection to my dream in relation to the story about Saul/Paul. At that moment, it dawned on me, that the Lord was bringing attention to the significance as to why the scales fell off his eyes. This corresponded to the symbolic dream I had that was similar to Saul/Paul’s' experience where the scales that served to blind me from the truth of my Jewish roots had been removed. The difference is that the Lord has called me to share this message of Hope now with my Jewish brethren, whereas Saul/Paul was called to share the Gospel to the Gentiles. This message also serves to admonish the two thousand year old De-Judaized Gentile Christian Church that they have been blinded from acknowledging and embracing their Jewish Roots just as the Jews have been blinded by divine providence for a time (Ro 11:25) so that the fullness of the Gentiles could take place.  

            With the First Seal (Messianic Seal; 2,000 year old relic found in an Old Jerusalem Mikvah) God sealed the fate of humanity. He then buried the Seal for two thousand years in order to allow the fullness of the Gentiles to come in. Now with the Last Seal (IJNHope Covenant Pin) God is reminding humanity of the Power of His Covenant with Abram the Hebrew and bringing forth the importance of the Jewish Roots of the faith and bringing His people the Jews to the saving grace of Yeshua Messiah. God began to set the stage in the late 1800’s by positioning the most powerful Gentile Christian nation the United States, that would serve as an ally to the raised tabernacle of David (Am 9:11) with Yisrael/Israel’s rebirth. Add to this mix, Crude Oil, Ishmaelite nations that have completed full manifestation of the prophecy about Ishmael (Ge 16:12), along with many signs and wonders that all point to Yeshua (Jn 1:3; Col 1:16) and his impending return. What makes the Messianic Seal so important is that it contains mysteries yet unheard or deciphered until now. 

Messianic Seal of the first Century Jerusalem Church
        The symbol on the Messianic Seal Stone (see above photo) bears an astonishing resemblance to the IJNHope three-part Covenant Pin the LORD instructed me to create which would serve as a Symbol under which I was to launch the Ministry of IJNHope. It would take me the better part of 8 years to complete this journey. I was so taken by the uncanny and nearly identical resemblance between these two symbols that I contacted a prominent Mathematics Professor who happens to be a friend of mine at a prestigious American University.   

“What are the probability statistics that the Messianic Seal which is roughly 2,000 years old and the IJNHope Logo/ Symbol which was recently put together would look so similar and yet are constructed two thousand years apart? "This is outside the realm of probability theory, and cannot be tested or answered by it. Suffice it to say that this event is highly unlikely unless they had the same author.

As I pondered his answer, I came to realize that he was referring to Adonai, Elohim, and the Mighty One of Yisrael/Israel.  It is only fitting that God is using the uncanny similarities between the Messianic Seal and the IJNHope Logo to resurrect the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and to bring this message of Hope and unity in Messiah Yeshua to the Jews and Gentiles alike.

In 1967, right before the Israeli Six Day War a Stone was unearthed in Yisrael/Israel found in an old Mikvah near the tomb of King David. This Mikvah is believed to have been used in baptisms/immersions. The etching on this ancient Stone had a three- part symbol:  A Menorah, Star of David, and Fish. Once again proclaiming to the world the pervasive Jewishness of the Christian faith, which is founded on a Jewish Messiah.  The Authors of the famed book “The Messianic Seal of the Jerusalem Church”  Written by Rueven Schmalz and Robert Fischer hypothesize that the Seal etched in the stone represented the First Century Yerushalayim/Jerusalem Church and it is known as the Messianic Seal. There is a rich history in the facts surrounding this artifact called the Messianic Seal.

It was found adjacent to the Tomb of David and the House with the Upper Room, which are both located on Mount Zion. This is archeological evidence of the existence of the Hebrew Nazarene Ecclesia started in Jerusalem whose high priest was none other than James/Yaakov the brother of our Lord Yeshua/Jesus. Presumably, the Israeli Museum authorities, the Orthodox Rabbis and the priests are determined to suppress this precious Symbol and its meaning. However, I have seen with increasing frequency the etching of the Seal on Bibles, Prayer Shawls, Jewelry and all sorts of Messianic Judaica memorabilia. It is God’s desire that this mystery be unveiled and the time has come to unveil this Mystery in order to bring together Jew and Gentile. It is for this express purpose at such a time as this (Est. 4:14) that He, Adonai, Elohim, El-Shaddai the mighty one of Yisrael/Israel; is making his mystery known, through signs and wonders even in these last days post 9/11. I believe that it is his will that this message of the pervasive Jewishness of our Messiah Yeshua, and of the early Church be brought to light once again.

• It contains the "rebirth date" literally of Yisrael upon it/shrouded in mystery.
• Its discovery ties it to 9/11 prophetically through the number 34.
• It contains elements of Yisrael as a nation including their Coat of Arms or National Symbol (Menorah); their Flag Symbol (Megan David) and the (Fish) symbol the diamond (quadrilateral) shaped piece containing the cross symbol (Tav). It is representative of Yeshua/Joshua. Aramaic (the language of the Talmud), the word Nun means, “(Fish)” as a Messianic symbol and in Greek it was represented as Ichtus symbolic of Yeshua. 
  
• It is also called the "grafted in" symbol alluding to the fact that the Gentiles (wild olive) are grafted-in with Jews (cultivated olive) (Rom. 11:17).

IJNHope Covenant Pin

As I mentioned previously, a year after the tragic events of 9/11 the Lord led me to the Scripture in Mt 12:21 “In His (Yeshua/Jesus) Name the nations will put their Hope.” After reading this scripture, I was led by the Lord to create a One-part lapel pin, which came to be known as the Hope Pin. Over the next 7-8 years, it has evolved into a three-part logo that is now called the IJNHope Covenant Pin.

• The topmost Section, which resembles a Menorah, represents the Abramic Covenant; ie: 7 sections and 5 colors reflective of Abram's age (75) when God made his covenant with him in Gen. 12:4. It also represents the colors of the American flag (Red, White and Blue), the death and destruction of 9/11 represented by the Black stem and the color Yellow indicative of Hope in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. Its original stand-alone design was 3/4 of an inch; a number containing prophetic significance to 9/11; end time prophecies and the New Yerushalayim/Jerusalem.
• The Star of David (Megan David) represents the Davidic Covenant in 2 Sam. 4 & 2 Sam. 7, and the Yisraeli Flag indicative of the "rebirth" of Yisrael as a nation on May 14, 1948 and the restoration of the tabernacle of King David as prophesied in Amos 9:11. This event occurred 53 years before 9/11.  
• The Diamond Shape [Quadrilateral shape] represented by the Israeli Crystal surrounding the Red Cross reflect the timeline of when Yisrael was finally allowed to join the Red Cross as an organization exerting humanitarian efforts during times of War. It was nearly 144 years after the Red Cross was created that Yisrael came up with a neutral symbol so that they could join the Red Cross. The Red Megan David was considered too reflective of the religious symbolism in Judaism.  Biblically the Israeli Crystal is in the shape of a Quadrilateral (representative of the measurement of the New Yerushalayim  Rev. 21:16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long   Rev 21:17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. The Red Cross symbolizes (the Lamb that will be the Lamp). Rev. 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The final part of God’s plan that is yet to come will be in the form of the New Yerushalayim where both Jew and Gentile will dwell with Him, they will be His people, and He will be their God (Rev. 21:3). It is time for Jew and Gentile to be united as his witnesses so that the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb can become One in Him (Rev 21:9).
• The First Seal (Messianic Seal) and the Last Seal (IJNHope Logo/ Symbol) come together, under which the message will go forth. The importance of the Jewish nation of Yisrael/Israel, our Jewish Messiah, all come together in this message pointing the way to our eternal home the New Yerushalayim (the City of David, the City of God).

These and other "mysteries" YHWH has revealed that will be shared in my upcoming book "God's Abramic Covenant Post 9/11" scheduled for publication within a year.
