  • Margot Crossing & Richard Hewitt: Lost Tribes Institute, part 3

    If there is significant evidence that Israeli’s Lost Tribes still exist, shouldn’t someone be doing some serious academic work to compile that evidence and share it with the world? It just so happens that Margot Crossing and Richard Hewitt are doing exactly that! In this concluding part of our conversation, Margot tells us how she got the idea for creating the Lost Tribes Institute, and the steps she, Richard, and their Asian colleagues are taking to make it a reality. In the meantime, those who are interested in discussing the subject can join in the Lost Tribes Cafe by Zoom!

    The Lost Tribes became lost because they walked away from God’s covenant with Israel. Of course, both Houses of Israel failed to live up to the covenant, which resulted in His judgment. Are we making the same errors? That’s something Barry and David consider in their midrash, “Grace in Righteousness.” We hear as well from House of Aaron and Lenny & Varda as they present messages from scripture in song.

  • Margot Crossing & Richard Hewitt: Lost Tribes Institute, part 2

    Is it too much to believe that  Israel’s exiles migrated all the way to Japan? Margot Crossing and Richard Hewitt address that question in this second part of our conversation. It’s a question that Japanese scholars Arimasa Kubo and Kengo Nagami, among others, have been investigating for many years. They are among the contributors to the Interconnectivity of Ancient Israel in Asia Symposium that Margot and Richard attended in November 2023. From what they share with us, it seems that symposium will be remembered in years to come as the launch of the Lost Tribes Institute. 

    How do we know this is an initiative from the Lord? How do we know if anything is the Lord’s leading – especially when He seems to be taking us the opposite way we think we should be going? That’s the topic of discussion in this week’s midrash from David Jones and Barry Phillips called, “When YHWH Leads You the Wrong Way.” Spoiler alert: the answer has something to do with how much we trust our God, as we hear from our musical guests, Laura Metzing and Samuel & Benjamin Wearp.

  • Margot Crossing & Richard Hewitt: Lost Tribes Institute, part 1

    Amazing things start to happen when people actually believe God will do what He says and take action on that belief. We step out in faith that God will heal us, provide financial and other resources, and guide our paths in life. Why, then, do we have trouble believing God will restore all of Israel’s Lost Tribes as He has promised?

    Margot Crossing and Richard Hewitt have learned to believe God’s promises to regather and restore all Israel. That’s why they have been working for many years among people groups in Asia who know their connection to ancient Israel, and why they are shepherding the establishment of an institute to dedicate serious academic attention to this subject. They just took a major step by participating in the Interconnectivity of Ancient Israel in Asia Symposium in Aizawl, India, in November 2023. In this three-part interview, we hear about the symposium, and about the contributions to it by scholars from Japan, Korea, India, and other nations. 

    Why is God working to restore all of Israel’s tribes just as He has restored the Jewish remnant of Israel? Because this is the way He will glorify His Name throughout the earth. He’s in the process not only of regathering Israel, but also building His people into the righteous nation He has always intended. We hear something about that in, “Like A Tree,” the latest midrash from  Barry Phillips and David Jones. Righteousness is also the inspiration for our musical guests, the Aleph Tav Band, and Dylan White.

  • Israel Connections: David Nekrutman and The Jewish-Christian Covenant Relationship

    Jews and Christians (including Messianic and Hebrew Roots believers) all profess faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Why, then, do we have such trouble getting along? David Nekrutman has a lot to say about that. He’s been involved in bringing these two parts of God’s covenant people together for over 20 years. “Covenant” is the operative term here. In this interview, we explore what that means, starting with David’s book, Your Sabbath Invitation, which he wrote to help Christians understand what the Sabbath is and why it is important for us. 

    One obstacle in building healthy relationships between Jews and Christians is the relative ignorance each has of the other.  What is it that Jews do not understand about Christians? What do Christians not understand about Jews? How has that mutual misunderstanding hindered the development of healthy Jewish-Christian relations, and how do we overcome it? Improved relations between Christians and Jews requires clear thinking and discernment of truth from fiction. After two thousand years of misunderstanding and conflict, there is much reason to hope that Christians and Jews can find common ground and build relationships based on mutual respect. Concerted efforts from both sides at building Christian-Jewish relations has resulted in a world-changing support for Israel among Christians worldwide.

    So you’ve just returned home from a traumatic experience in a country you love. What’s the first thing you do? How about hold a rally and concert at your state capitol? That’s what the Spear Family of Teshuva Music did when they returned from Israel after the start of the Simchat Torah War. In this final segment of our visit with Sam, Angela, Jonathan, Caleb, and Cyndie Spear, we hear how their love for Israel, especially in this time of trial, translated into action to raise awareness and support, starting in their community in Tennessee.  

    “Community” is the important word in this podcast. Not only do we hear of it in the music of Teshuva, we also learn from Barry Phillips and David Jones about the importance of community in keeping all the Law.

  • Teshuva Music: Singing of Zion in Tennessee, part 2

    What would you do if a war started in the foreign country where you and your family were vacationing? The Spear Family of Teshuva Music now know exactly what they would do.

  • Margot Crossing: Israel’s Tribes in Asia, part 2
    In writing about Israel’s continued place in God’s covenant, Paul writes in Romans 11:15, For if their rejection leads to the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” The usual understanding is that this refers to the Jewish people, who are the heart of the Covenant Nation of Israel. But what if Paul were referring not only to the Jews, but also to the non-Jewish tribes of the House of Joseph – the ones now called the Lost Tribes? That’s a point we cover in this second part of our conversation with Margot Crossing about the Interconnectivity of Ancient Israel in Asia Symposium, held in Aizawl, India, in November 2023.

    Israel’s God exiled all the tribes from the Promised Land for good reason. Yes, both Judah and Ephraim rebelled against their Redeemer, and God judged them for it, but there was a promise in that exile. We learn about it in the story of Jacob, as Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this first part of their two-part midrash called, “Exile and Restoration.” We also hear this message in the music of Jimmie Black and Mason Clover.

  • Margot Crossing: Israel’s Tribes in Asia, part 1
    What would happen if dozens of researchers began comparing notes on what they have found about the migrations of Israel’s Ten Lost Tribes? What if those researchers included representatives of indigenous peoples whose traditions indicate Israelite heritage? That’s what Margot Crossing and her colleagues intend to find out, starting with the Interconnectivity of Ancient Israel in Asia Symposium. This academic conference, held in the city of Aizawl, India, in late November 2023, is the first of its kind. In this two-part conversation, Margot explains what this symposium is all about, and what she hopes will result from it.

    Israel’s God exiled all the tribes from the Promised Land for good reason. Yes, both Judah and Ephraim rebelled against their Redeemer, and God judged them for it, but there was a promise in that exile.

  • David Nekrutman: A Covenant Relationship, part 4
    After two thousand years of misunderstanding and conflict, what hope do we have that Christians and Jews can find common ground and build relationships based on mutual respect? There is much reason to hope, as David Nekrutman explains. Concerted efforts from both sides at building Christian-Jewish relations has resulted in a world-changing support for Israel among Christians worldwide. In this concluding part of our conversation, David offers ideas for how to build on this momentum.

    Development of deep, genuine relations between Christians and Jews is a matter of the heart. In fact, it’s a matter of the heart change that God promises in the New (or Renewed) Covenant that He is making with Israel and those who attach themselves to Israel. That’s the point of “Tablets and Hearts,” the midrash presented by Barry Phillips and David Jones, and the music presented by the Aleph Tav Band and Jimmie Black.
