Martin Luther and the Heroes of the Protestant Reformation!
Over the past few years modern Protestant Evangelical Christians have been discovering “sign post events” that have affected their whole lives. The implications of these “sign posts” in these modern times is enormous to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel for it was the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that were the founders of Modern Protestant Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Zoroastrianism today.
Out of the apostasy of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, they became the foundation stone of each of the religions above in comparison to Judaism, who through the Written and the Oral Torah have kept alive the teachings and truths given by G-d from the mount called Sinai. At that time, HaShem, the One G-d of Israel came down and gave his people, the newly inaugurated Nation of Israel his Torah; the primal manifestation of His Holy Being in a state of profound prophecy. The Implication of these historical events has been enormous.
A Portrait of Martin Luther at age 46.
The 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation against Roman Papacy was began on October 31, 1517. On that day, the Roman Catholic cleric, Martin Luther, the German professor of theology, priest, and cleric posted his “Ninety-Five Theses” in the city of Wittenberg. He rejected and disputed strongly against the claim that freedom from G-d’s punishment for sin could be purchased with money (indulgences).
He refused to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the Pope and condemned him as an outlaw by the Holy Roman Emperor.
It was Luther who ushered in the Great Protestant Reformation that changed the entire landscape of Western Christianity and has affected the course of history for a half of a millennium.
Was it a coincidence that the German religious reformer, Martin Luther was extremely anti-Semitic on his views of the Jewish people? Are we willing to admit that the One G-d of Israel is Sovereign over all Planet Earth and this Universe? It was the same G-d of Israel that set up the anti-Semitism in the heart of the Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther, to jump-start the religious protestors of the Protestant Reformation against the apostate Roman Christian Church? As gleaned from excerpts from Martin Luther: The Jews and Their Lies (1543), taken from the Jewish Virtual Library, we read:
Martin Luther - “Alas, it cannot be anything but the terrible wrath of God which permits anyone to sink into such abysmal, devilish, hellish, insane baseness, envy, and arrogance. If I were to avenge myself on the devil himself I should be unable to wish him such evil and misfortune as God's wrath inflicts on the Jews, compelling them to lie and to blaspheme so monstrously, in violation of their own conscience. Anyway, they have their reward for constantly giving God the lie.”
***
Martin Luther - “I brief, dear princes and lords, those of you who have Jews under your rule if my counsel does not please your, find better advice, so that you and we all can be rid of the unbearable, devilish burden of the Jews, lest we become guilty sharers before God in the lies, blasphemy, the defamation, and the curses which the mad Jews indulge in so freely and wantonly against the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, this dear mother, all Christians, all authority, and ourselves. Do not grant them protection, safe conduct, or communion with us...With this faithful counsel and warning I wish to cleanse and exonerate my conscience.”
***
Martin Luther - “Learn from this, dear Christian, what you are doing if you permit the blind Jews to mislead you. Then the saying will truly apply, "When a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit" [cf. Luke 6:39]. You cannot learn anything from them except how to misunderstand the divine commandments...
***
Martin Luther - “Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and vehementing his eyes on them.
Replica of the Gutenberg printing press which allowed mass printing of the Bible
During this same era, the Guttenberg Press went into full production, and for the first time in over 1,000 years during the medieval era from 500 CE to 1500 CE, the Bible was made accessible to ordinary Lost Israelites that were now allowed to read the Bible for the first time. From the press came the promises and passages in reference to G-d’s promises foretelling his determined purpose to one day restore all Jewish people back to the land of their father’s; Abraham Isaac and Jacob. This was to be followed then by the reclamation, restoration, and redemption of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
The Reformation was really the trigger that started what today is known as “The Hebraic Restoration Movement” which is an non-associated, non-organizational ‘process’ in which millions of sincere and eager Bible readers across the world have been discovering and returning to the Original Faith which the Bible proclaims that which has been guarded and maintained in Judaism throughout the ages since Moses received it from G-d.
Jewish Secrets hidden in the New Testament
In the recent landmark book, written by the Jerusalem and Shomron based, Rabbi Avraham Feld and Ovadyah Avrahami titled, “Jewish Secrets hidden in the New Testament”, we can review about the Protestant Reformation and its important role in the final messianic Redemption Process called the “Kol Ha Tor” of the Trein Mesheechem “Twin Messiah” called the Maschiach ben Yoseph (Messiah son of Joseph) and the Maschiach ben David (Messiah son of David.
This was later revealed in the 18th century when the Jewish prodigy boy that became the renowned Lithuanian Jewish Rabbi Eliyahu Shlomo ben Zalman called the Vilna of Gaon (“Genius of Gaon”) became the “Hidden Messiah” called the “Maschiach ben Yosef”.
It was through his life and work that the human agencies of man in the Vilna Gaon and his disciples, jumped started the angelic agencies of the Divine working, night and day, to promoted, encourage, and nudge forward the Messianic process, first in Eastern Europe and then in Israel and finally in Jerusalem in the early 19th century. This story was documented in the BibleSearchers Reflections article titled, “The Great Aliyah to Israel by the Disciples of the Vilna Gaon.”
In the 3rd Chapter of the book titled “Jewish Secrets hidden in the New Testament” is loaded with a review of this historical factor of the Protestant Reformation. This includes historic date order which has played an important role and which has brought us to this Day when and where the Restoration of All Twelve-Tribed Israel will be taking shape right before our eyes.
With the Final Redemption now at the doorsteps, and unbeknown not only to the uninformed masses of the world who know not G-d or His Word, but even to the well informed Bible searching masses, including the very Returnees themselves who still remain clueless to this epic event! Quoting from Ovadyah Avrahami, director of Kol Ha Tor we can read some short extracts from Chapter 3 as quoted below:
Jewish Secrets hidden in the New Testament - “It is of value to do a short historical review for the benefit of those readers who are not well-acquainted with the main milestones in Israel’s colourful and eventful history. Jews the world over pray for this Universal Redemption daily. Only then can one understand the astonishing implications which the prospects of the fulfilment of the Restoration of Israel prophecies will hold for mankind.
Only when we understand that this Redemption also refers to and includes the Ten Lost Tribes and not just only the Tribe of Judah (Jews) who have been in a process of Return to the Land of Israel over the last 160 years.”
This chapter then begins the progressive review of this historic Messianic Process in date order of this Universal Redemption Process. It takes us from ancient Biblical Israel times, right through to today’s reawakening amongst non-Jewish Bible searchers to the ancient Hebrew Roots of their Faith. Along the way, when the review reaches the Reformation that our Forum review here is all about, the following interesting observations are made:
Jewish Secrets hidden in the New Testament - “"The Restoration of a reunited Israel can also clearly be traced in ‘the spiritually evolutionary progress of Christianity since its inception 2000 years ago. Over the first three centuries, it grew from a Jewish sect in Israel, to the birth of the Catholic Church, formatted on a totally anti-Jewish foundation of theological concepts.
During the Middle-Ages, the Great Reformation erupted upon the European landscape. This included reformers like Luther and Calvin who were starting to question the Roman Papacy.
The invention of the printing press helped to spread the Bible among normal “protestant” congregants of the Roman Catholic Church and later became known as “Protest-ants”. Soon there was a break-away of reformed churches from the Papacy. The middle of the 19th century saw the start of ‘a return to original Bible Truth’ among Christian Bible seeking students, to what became known as ‘a return to the Hebraic Roots of their Faith’. Several prominent Church leaders were recognized as 'prophets' by their followers and credited with restoring such original Bible-based Truths.
- Ellen White restored the Seventh-day Sabbath truth through the Second Great Adventist Movement in America and Europe in 1840. This occurred in the auspicious Jewish Year 6500.
- Charles Russell's teachings (Jehovah’s Witnesses) about the Sacred Name started a research into this topic with an ever- growing great awakening called the ‘Sacred Name Movement’ over the last several decades.
- William Branham started the Pentecostal charismatic movement through his healing services in the mid-20thcentury and denounced the Trinity theology, replacing it with 'The Oneness.'
- Herbert Armstrong – in the 60's restored the Biblical feasts (Jewish Holy days)
- From the 90's onwards the Hebraic Restoration Movement which grew out of this Reformation process, brought the restoration of original Bible Truths back to their biblical Torah roots.
It drew Bible believers away from the regular churches, through the restoration in their faith of Jewish Torah principles. Progressively, one after the other the Hebraic Restoration Movement erupted into an ever growing interest in conversion to Judaism. The passion for the physical return to the Land of Israel by Lost Christian Israelites has been on the roll ever since and to date."
Ovadyah Avrahami with Kol Ha Tor – “The reawakening of the Ten Tribers today, have started restoring Bible Truths like Sabbath, Feast Days and Torah in general. These reawakened Lost Ten Israelites understand that the Redemption Plan not only requires the return of Jews to the Land of Israel but also the re-identified Ten Tribers (who are identified by their return to Torah Truths). When that happens, they will also help them to overcome their Identity Crisis.
These Lost Ten Tribed Israelites will then understand that their Home is BACK in Israel TOGETHER WITH AND PART OF its Original People and Torah Guardians; the Jews and the Orthodox Torah Rabbanim. They will be destined to form ONE completed Nation, made up of the 12 inherent characteristics of the 12 Tribes, stemming from originally 12 Patriarchs, the sons of Ya'acov."
Here we can refer to the Blessings received from G-d regarding Inheritance of the Land, that was now passed on to the Twelve Patriarch sons of Patriarch Ya’acov (Jacob) before his death and recorded in Genesis 48 and 49. Ovadyah Avrahami then continued with a description of the fascinating last hours of the Patriarch Jacob (Ya'acovwith his 12 sons, we read:
Ovadyah Avrahami with Kol Ha Tor – “These 12 sons were as different as sons can be in the same family - to form the ONE COMPLETE Nation of HaShem, the One G-d of Israel. In the chapter of Genesis 48, we notice that Ephraim and Menasheh, the sons of Yosef, received special Blessings from Ya'acov on his death bed here. Notwithstanding them having been born from an Egyptian mother and grown up as Egyptian royalty.
Ya'acov reckons Ephraim and Menasheh as amongst his other children as their brothers (v. 5 & 6). Their father, Yosef, was an Egyptian royal ruler for 80 years ... sources have it as 40+ years, but a rabbinic scholar corrected me.
Even Yosef at this time was not 'in the region where the Patriarch Ya'acov’ lived (verse 1 &2 – yet Yosef brought his sons especially to his dying father. Ya'acov acknowledges the Egyptian nature of these 2 sons (v. 5-7) yet claimed them to be a part as ‘his’ inheritance', and also to inherit the Land by Divine decree.
There must be a metaphorical sign in this for today’s Egyptian-seeming re-awakening Torah Restorers; to remind them that the true Redemption includes a Divine Right to inheritance of the Promised Land!
It is this Promised Land Inheritance which re-awakening Ten Tribers and Hebrew Roots Restorers today, even claiming to be Ephraim /Yosef, overlook in the Process of Return. Many of them do not want to become part of the Jewish land or, if they do, then not on the terms that are required; such as the Immigration Rules of the State of Israel which define Return rights for Jews only - those who can prove their Jewish identity or who convert to Judaism officially.
This leads to the question: Does God control the birthright of Ya'acov today through the Israeli Immigration Rules? If the Plan of Redemption requires the Return of Ten Tribers to the Promised Bible Land, then surely it should be on the same conditions that the Original 12 Tribes faced. This is contingent upon the premise that the possession of the Land, such as buying Israeli land and building a residence for occupation is conditional on Torah observance. The “Rules of the Kingdom, just as any worldly Kingdom, even a rogue nation requires from its citizens is the condition of honoring the existence of the nation of your inheritance and dwelling?
Of course, when it comes to Torah, then the Evil Forces really go rampant. The Guardians of Torah, the Jewish legal jurists called the Mechoquek of Judah (as confirmed even in the NT of these Restorers - Rom. 3:2, Math. 23:2, Math, 5:17-20) have been black-washed by official Roman Christian Church interpretations since Papal Rome was born in anti-Judaism in Roman Times.
Rabbis are presented as "making their own Laws" when they interpret Torah in the highest qualified theological Academies of Torah since Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our Teacher). The fact that these re-awakening Hebraic Roots Restorers interpret the Torah according to their relatively new insight, makes no impression on them of their own possible shortcomings - especially as they come from the greatly anti-Torah traditions of the Roman Christian Church after 2000 years.
The Mile Stone that this article under review highlights for us; “The 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation is therefore very significant, especially coming at this time which may signify it as a Yovel (Jubilee) mile post to reveal the Return of the Lost House of Israel after 2700 years of Torah rebellion.
If this is indeed the case, then re-identifying Restorers need to start packing their belongings to Return Home to the Land of Promise. Like any other land it has its Immigration requirements - in this case: Torah.
Here is a brilliant and ingenious Divine Way by HaShem to sort out the Lost Ten Tribes who continue to rebels against the Divine Will, yet when transformed will become G-d’s greatest emissaries of righteousness.

Destination Yisrael – “Slowly the Almighty One of Israel is opening the gates of the Supernal Realm surrounding the Throne of G-d. He is revealing to us a mini-vision of our future as we become one with Him in the future Millennium of the Great Shabbat.
The struggles we will have within this era, will be to give up of ourselves, allow humility to become a part of the our lives, for within each us is the sublime message that if we are willing to submit ourselves to His will, the power of the Divine will help us to jump the hurtles into our future.
Then we realize that the Eternal One now reveals to us that the future of our Eternity was given to Metatron, He was the first of creation, the most Exalted Being of the heavenly realms. He was the Vizier to the Holy One of Israel as Vizier like Joseph was to the Pharaoh of old.
Here is a majestic being, the most exalted of the Archangels, who is in charge of running the Universes of the Divine. And he was the same being that led the Children of Israel out of Egypt to the mount called Sinai this time as a Pillar of Fire at night and a Cloud to shade the daytime.
Metatron was the “Guide” to Moshe in the Wilderness. It was here where he helped to lead and guide the Great Redeemer of the Children of Israel. Metatron became the Neshama Soul of Moshe in heaven that was connected with the “Indwelling Soul” or the Neshama Soul of Moshe on Planet Earth. As such Moshe, as we also may, kept in constant touch with the Divine One for man, created in the Image of G-d, has always had direct line access with the G-d of Israel.
If you have wondered how biblical prophecy fits into your life, and how it will affect the Return of the House of Israel, then the G-d of Israel is beginning his “call” to bring you home, too. You might desire to reconnect with your cousins the Jews and the Biblical portrayals on what is and may be happening in your near future.
This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

BibleSearchers and Destination Yisra'el
Destination Yisrael scans the world for information that has relevance on the time of the end. It is our prayer that this will allow the believers in the Almighty One of Israel to “watch and be ready”. Our readiness has nothing to do trying to halt the progression of evil on our planet earth. In our readiness, we seek to be prepared for the coming of the Messiah of Israel so that goodness and evil will be manifested in its fullest.
Our preparation is a pathway of spiritual readiness for a world of peace. Our defender is the Metatron, the Lord of hosts. The time of the end suggests that the Eternal One of Israel’s intent is to close out this chapter of earth’s history so that the perpetrators of evil, those that seek power, greed and control, will be eliminated from this planet earth. The wars of the heavens are being played out on this planet earth and humans will live through it to testify of the might, power, justice and the love of the God of Israel.
In a world of corruption and disinformation, we cannot always know what the historical truth is and who is promoting evil or mis-information. We cannot guarantee our sources but we will always seek to portray trends that can be validated in the Torah, the testimony of the prophets of the Old and the New Testament, and the writings of Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo ben Zalman (famed Vilna Gaon) called the “genius” in the 18th century, and his vision of the final redemption in his collection of writings highlighted in his supernal understanding of the Torah, the Prophets and Writings as outlined in the Kol Ha Tor.
