Assembly of Yahweh, Who we are
A summary:
We are members of the "Collective Assembly" of the people of True Yisrael (Israel), of the Diaspora (the scattering of Yisrael). True Yisrael of the Diaspora comes from the Nation which grew from the original 12 tribes originating from the 12 sons of the patriarch Ya'acov/Yisrael.
First Diaspora: About 931-919 BC, the original Kingdom of Yisrael was divided into two Kingdoms. The Northern Kingdom (10-1/2 tribes*) under King Jeroboam was called Kingdom of Yisrael. The Southern Kingdom (2-1/2 tribes) under King Rehoboam was called the Kingdom of Yahud, 1 Kings 12. The Northern Kingdom of Yisrael was conquered by the Assyrian King Shalmaneser V, beginning in 745-722 BC, a result of their violations of Yahweh's Covenant Contract agreement with them, which resulted in their exile into Assyria, 2 Kings 17:5-7. These Yisraelites while exiled out of the "Promised Land" into Assyria, grew to be a huge population of people. *Note: The tribe of Joseph became the two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, (this accounts for the total of 13 tribes).
Second Diaspora: The Southern Kingdom of Yahud lasted a bit longer, in the "Promised Land" but was eventually conquered by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, in 604 BC, also a result of their violations of Yahweh's Covenant Contract with them, and were exiled out of the "Promised Land" into Babylon, Jer. 24:1, 2 Kings 24:11-16. From these two dispersions only 42,360 Yisraelites ever came back to the "Promised Land" 70 years later.
The Yisraelites, of the First Diaspora, and later the Yahudim, of the Second Diaspora, subsequently migrated and dispersed from Assyria because of their huge numbers, through the Caucasus Mountains, eventually reuniting and resulting in the Central and Western European nations, and the nations of the British Isles.
Last Diaspora: The final and last dispersion of the remaining Yahudim (who were also Yisraelites) came just before the fall of Yerushalem (Jerusalem) under the Romans in 70 AD. Those believing in the prophesy of Messiah regarding the coming destruction of Yerushalem and the Temple, and obeyed his order to flee when the signs of his prophesy became apparent, were delivered (saved) from death, by leaving the City and fleeing into the mountains. Matt. 24. Those that remained in the City suffered greatly, most died from starvation, or were killed by the Roman soldiers. Some of those captured after the fall and destruction of the City ended in Rome to be used for Roman "sporting activities," eventually most were killed, a result of refusing to obey the prophesy of Yahshua the Messiah.
From the time of the First Diaspora, the 10-1/2 tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael, along with most of the Yahudi from the 2-1/2 tribes of the Second Diaspora, Yisraelites were called the Lost Tribes. During the life of Messiah Yahshua, the Yisraelites* still remaining in the land of Yahud were collectively referred to as Yahudi. *Note: These Yisraelites were the descendants of the original 42,360 (more or less) Yahudim, that returned under Nehemiah and Ezra, following the Second Diaspora, after the 70 years in captivity, Jer. 29:10. Like the Yisraelites of the First Diaspora, most of the Yisraelites of the Second Diaspora never returned to the "Promised Land" but migrated into Europe and Britain, amalgamating with the Yisraelites already there, that had formed the new nations of Western Europe.
The Yisraelites from all the tribes have since migrated into all the nations of the entire globe. The Assembly of Yahweh, of True Yisrael is any assembly of people derived from the "Lost Tribes" of Yisrael of the Diasporas, wherever or whenever they may assembled or are gathered.
The "Assembly of Yahweh, Cascade" is a local sub-group of the collective whole Assembly of Dispersed True Yisrael. It is interesting to note that most of the people, who are racially of Dispersed "True Yisrael" are still completely ambivalent to their true Scriptural identity. In this sense, True Yisrael still remains completely lost to history. True Yisraelites of the Diaspora, are not to be confused with the state called Israel, or the people called Jews, living in the state called Israel. The Jewish people are not Yisraelite descendants, Jews are a religious group, but not a racial people group. Jews are not a part of the Scriptural "True Yisraelites" that descend from Ya'aqov/Yisrael.
The word "Cascade" that we use in the name of our local assembly comes from the "Cascade" Mountain range that is located in North Western Washington. This is a mountain range close to the area where many of us live. The word "Cascade" is simply a word used to Identify our particular Assembly from several other similar Assemblies of Yahweh in this area of the Pacific Northwest. Assemblies may also be called "gatherings," or sometimes "Ecclesias," (Greek for "called out ones)." We use "Yahweh" in our name, because it is the correct and proper Name of the Almighty Creator, as transliterated from the Hebrew into English. The complete phrase "Assembly of Yahweh" which we use in our name, is a common phrase used throughout the Scriptures.
We are NOT "White Supremacists" and have no association with White Supremacist groups of any kind. Our Scriptural "Statement of belief" as posted on our web-site is very different from what would be the beliefs of White Supremacists. Unlike Supremacists, we do NOT consider ourselves as the descendants of Aryan people, who are of the Middle Eastern "Euro-Indian" race of peoples. We are also NOT "Racists." We do not believe that one race is "superior" over, or is to "lord" over any other race. We do not believe that the colored races are inferior "mud people" or that the Jewish people are descendants of the so-called "serpent race." We DO believe, as Scripture clearly teaches, that Yisraelites have specific responsibilities through "Contract" (or Covenant) with the Creator Yahweh, that other people or races do not have. These "Contracts" (or Covenants) Yahweh made with Yisraelites, are still in effect; have blessings attached for obedience, but also liabilities associated with them for disobedience that the other races do not have.
We are racially of Caucasian Semitic-Adamic descent commonly called the "white race" or the "Adamic race." We are descendants of Adam and Eve, who were the first earthly parents of the white race. We believe that the various races and other people groups on the Globe were created by Yahweh Elohim as "good" and in accordance with His plan, Gen. 1:31, each race of people has their own origin and beginning in the age of their Creation, all in accord with the Creator Yahweh's will and plan. We believe that all the original non-white races pre-date the Adamic white race of people, some by many millennia (many thousands of years). We believe that all the various races and "now" mixed races of people now on the globe have a specific purpose in the ultimate plan of the Creator, which He alone will unfold exactly in accordance with His will and ultimate purpose for each.
We are Separatists, but with a very specific understanding of the term. That is, we maintain our "primary relationship" with the other various races based strictly on the mandates of the Ancient Scriptures. We believe that all families of the various races of people on the globe should likewise maintain their own particular racial identity as given them by Yahweh. Yahweh created the various races from the beginning. Racial identity, along with customs and cultures should not be destroyed; therefore we are Separatists as Yahweh Himself has mandated for us in Scripture. We do not apologize for this Scriptural position. Scripture teaches that miscegenation (race mixing) is a form of adultery, i.e. to adulterate ones-self, is to add impurities to a bloodline. See Ex. 20. Miscegenation by Yisraelites with non-white people, or "by Yisraelites" with other various non-Adamic non-white races is strictly forbidden by Scripture. It is a sin for Yisraelites, and is punishable and/or it will have eventual negative consequences to the parents, or to their offspring, or both, in the present, or sometime in the future. For this reason, we do not condone miscegenation or support inter-racial marriage. We do not condemn other races for this practice, because they are not under the same "contract" (or covenant) as are the Yisraelites. We do believe that even for the other races, inter-racial marriage will usually have undesirable consequences. We do not condemn other Yisraelites for inter-racial marriage done in their ignorance. Yahshua will Judge them in accordance with the natural (General) laws He has internally given to each one. We are not Separatists from "association with other races." To do so we would have to leave the globe. In other words, we have, and we do maintain fellowship, and associate on various levels with people of various other races.
We believe Homosexuality is sin, in whatever form, and under all circumstances, regardless of race, and will be punished by Yahweh, even to death (Yahweh's law, not ours). We will not knowingly associate with anyone practicing Homosexuality, or who would affirm themselves as such.
We are dedicated to revealing the rich Scriptural history and identity of True Israel of the Diaspora. It is also our intent to restore the original historical faith and teachings received through the writings of the Apostles to us, as given in the Scriptures. We will do this by revealing corrupt doctrines and teachings, and by using the best available translation(s) of The Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Scriptures, through correct exegesis, and proper etymology. We believe and trust, that in this way, Yahweh's Spirit will lead those He calls to a complete understanding of his revelation to us, the responsibility of Son-ship, and a correct understanding of Scriptural doctrine(s). This is the primary purpose of our Assembly Web-site(s). Simply put, we are "Messianic Yisraelites." We teach the Simple Pure Truth found in the ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and applicable Greek Scriptures. Yahweh is our One Elohim (Mighty One), Yahshua is our Deliverer, our Kinsman brother and Eternal King.
It is not our intention to condemn anyone or any Modern Christian church for what we believe to be error in their doctrine(s) or for their use of pagan words and titles that replace the proper personal Scriptural Names. We understand the traditions behind the observing of pagan customs that were propagated through powerful men and influential Roman Church leaders beginning about 325 AD. Therefore we will teach correct Scripture and restore doctrine(s) and restore the proper names to what is recorded in history and taught in the set-apart Scriptures. We ask for no more and no less, than to present the basic truth of Scripture to all willing to hear, according to the set-apart Scriptures. We trust that Yahweh, through the power of His Spirit will lead all those seeking to find all that is true.
Because this is our position and our mission, we are not a Christian Church, and differ from what is considered or presented as acceptable Christian Doctrines that are taught in many modern day Churches. Nevertheless, we will stand on the solid foundation and teachings of the historical Scriptures alone rather than on the traditions of men, no matter how religiously or politically incorrect we may be accused of being.
As members of the Assembly of Yahweh, Cascade, and True Yisraelites (from all the tribes) of the House of "True" Yisrael, we are Ambassadors for Yahshua the Messiah. We believe that proselytes (all non-Yisraelites) in the House of Yisrael, and all those, to whom Yahweh chooses to reveal Himself, and all those (the strangers) who come to trust and believe in the Messiah, keep His Commandments, form the True Nation of Yisrael, Isaiah 56. We are a Nation "True Yisrael, of the Diaspora" living within the nations, the united States of American, Canada, Europe, and all the many other nations throughout the Globe.
True Yisrael, is a "Service Nation" chosen by Yahweh for the special purpose of teaching the other nations correct living according to His Laws, and revealing to them their one true Creator.
Yisraelites are not to hoard these benefits of knowledge and wisdom from Yahweh's law. They are to be a light to the other Adamic Nations, as well as non-Adamic nations, pointing them to their one true Creator. Yahweh took Abraham, and through him made a nation through which all of Creation could be blessed.
Non-Yisraelites can also put themselves under Yahweh's Commandments. Isa. 56, speaks of such people as receiving a greater reward because they did, and because they obeyed what was required of a people other than themselves. Non-Yisraelites are welcomed to pick up that commission and will be blessed for their obedience to Yahweh, by keeping his Commandments. They are saved by obedience to their Creator.
The key to acceptance is a love for His Will to be done on Earth as it is in the Heavens through obedience. "If you love Me, keep My commandments" (Deut. 6:4-5, 11:1; Matt. 22:40; 1 Jn. 2:3,5).
