Spiritual Israel is blind

Is this clear to everyone?

Spiritual Israel is blind right now.  It has overtaken the Israelites and because of that the rest of the world is also blind to the truth.
We are to be the few that are different,  the ones set apart from the world to display the glory of Yahuah.  But sadly many are still asleep or barely awake to what is really going on around us. The deceit being taught through movies, books, magazines, video games, or television shows. If you are into any aspect of these things and can't live your life without them then you are not awake.  Art in its various forms is not just simple entertainment. They are indeed transformative forces used to shape us in the image that Satan wants us to reflect. Satan is the dragon and his whole goal is to deceive destroy and kill us. Many are waiting for a faked alien invasion which still could happen I suppose with the technology available, but the world needs to understand it has been already deceived by Satan, and it has been happening for a long time via the magic of Hollywood movies, glossy videos, the allure of games, apps, sporting events and various reading material.  The spirit of Yahuah cannot fully indwell you in you have one foot in the kingdom and one foot in the world. The remnant needs to reread  Isaiah 63:10.  Many will hear a message like this and do nothing to change.  Look at Mark 4:18-19  What fruits? The fruits of righteousness of course... the turning away from sin.
Luke 3:8 So where does spiritual blindness come from then? It is because they are rebellious. Ezekiel 12:2.  It is why they cannot hear the truth. It is never made plain by the spirit. It appears as a parable to them being hard to understand.  Sleeping Hebrews who refuse to hear and obey may think they have truth but truth is only revealed to those who hear and obey.  This takes us back to why Yahusha spoke parables in his day.  He replied in Matthew 13:11-13.  It explains why people cant see the truth about Sabbath or the other laws that are in effect TODAY. Or understand the laws at all.   For example, Tithing has nothing to do with currency.  We will discuss that in a chapter in the book as well.
John 12:40
Isaiah 6:10
Isaiah 33:15
Psalm 119:37
Matthew 5:28 all speak to guarding the eyes and the ears.

Reversing our spiritual blindness means giving these things up and turning back to Yahuahs plan for us
Micah 5:12 says Yahuah will put an end to all these things but until then we are to stay separate.
Revelation 18:4
**Psalm 91:9-10**
Look what Yahuah tells us in Jeremiah 3:14 Return home you backsliding children says Yah for I am married unto you (meaning I am your master) . I will bring you back to the land of Israel- one from this town and two from that family--from wherever you are scattered. This is a remnant. 
If you haven't received it already pray that Yahuah opens your eyes and does this for you and your family..

The name of this tiny village of Nazareth tells us something about the people living there and offers a clue to the identity of the child Mary would bear. Nazareth may come from the Hebrew netzer, which means “branch” or “shoot.” Sometimes when a tree is chopped down, a shoot will grow from the stump, allowing a new tree to spring up where the old one has died. That shoot is called, in Hebrew, a netzer. Why would the people who founded this village have called it “the branch”?

Much of the Old Testament was written predicting, or in response to, the destruction of Israel. The northern half of the country was destroyed by the Assyrian Empire in 722 B.C. The southern half of the country, known as Judah, was destroyed by the Babylonian Empire in 587 or 586 B.C. The prophets, in speaking about the destruction and re-emergence of Israel, used the metaphor of Israel being like a tree that had been cut down, but which would sprout up once again. Israel would be led by a messianic figure called “the branch,” so Isaiah 11:1-4, 6 says:

A shoot will grow up from the stump of Jesse;
a branch will sprout from his roots.
The LORD ’s spirit will rest upon him, 
a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a spirit of planning and strength,
a spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.
He will delight in fearing the LORD.
He won’t judge by appearances,
nor decide by hearsay.
He will judge the needy with righteousness,
and decide with equity for those who suffer in the land. ... 
[And in those days] the wolf will live with the lamb,
and the leopard will lie down with the young goat;
the calf and the young lion will feed together,
and a little child will lead them.

The netzer was a promise of hope. The word as used in Isaiah 11 pointed to the promise that, though Israel had been cut down like a felled tree, she would rise up once again. Fifty years after the destruction of Judah by the Babylonians, the Jewish people would return to the city of Jerusalem. Judah would rise up like a shoot. And the people hoped for the coming of the “branch” that the prophets foretold would lead the people—a messiah. (Jeremiah and Zechariah also use this same imagery, though they use a different word for “branch” than netzer.)

When the village founders named their village Nazareth they may have chosen this name as a way of expressing hope that God would once again restore Israel—that though Israel had been cut down by the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Greeks, and then the Romans, a branch would come up from the stump. They may have chosen this name because, in the words of the prophet Isaiah, it was a sign that there are no hopeless causes with God. They may have chosen this name as a way of articulating their hope that one day the Messiah would come to Israel. It was as if they were saying, “We believe there is always hope. We believe God will deliver us. We believe the day will come when God will send a new king who will deliver us.”

Little did they know that the branch foretold in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah would be a child who would grow up in their own village!

Are we the Natsarim? I will do another writing to go into detail.
