Since the days of old, Calls to repentance to return to the Covenant Ways of YHVH Elohim have been extended throughout Eretz Ishrael, the Main Reason He sent the Prophets His Servants, from west and east, from north and south ... And they persisted during the Messianic era, the Main Purpose of the sending of His Anointed One, and remains the Core Message, even beyond, during the time of the Apostles. ...

And up to now, YHVH Elohim, The Creator of the universe, did not give up to His Plan of Salvation and Redemption. He is still working, He is still seeking, He is still fishing, He is still hunting, yea, sieving and calling, inviting through this Book The Bible we like to read. ... And it will come to pass.

A few passages about « From west and east, north and south »

Genesis 28 : 14 : YHVH Elohim to Ya'akov, saying : « And your descendants shall be as numerous as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the east and to the west and to the north and to the south ; and in you and through your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be blessed »

« And from the west the people shall fear the Name of YHVH, and His Glory from the rising of the sun. And their coming will be as a mighty river, driven on by the Spirit of YHVH » - Ieshayah 59 : 19

Matthyahu. 8 : 5 – 9 : « And when Yehoshua entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion and implored Him and said : Adoni, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly. And Yehoshua said to him : I will come to heal him. But the centurion replied and said : Adoni, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof ! But just say the Word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And when I say to one to go, and he goes, and to another to come, and he comes, and to my servant do this and he does » ...

Verses 10 – 12 : « And when Yehoshua heard this, He marvelled and said to them who followed Him, saying : Verily I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even with anyone in Ishrael ! And I say to you that many from east and west will come to sit down to eat with Abraham, Itzhak and Yaakov in the Kingdom of Heaven. But the children of the Kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness ; there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth »

Luke 13 : 22 ; 28 - 30 : « And Yehoshua journeyed through cities and villages teaching, and making progress toward Yerushalem. ... In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Itzahk and Ya'akov and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of YHVH Elohim, but yourselves will be thrown out. And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will sit and eat in the Kingdom of Elohim. And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last ! »

To teach what ? To teach repentance to them, the first, the children of the Kingdom, the Ishraelites/Yehudim, in view of reconciliation and restoration.

Matthew 23 : 37 : « O Yerushalem, O Yerushalem, you who kill the Nevi'im and stone those who are sent to you, how often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers its chicks under its wings, but you were not willing !? ».

Will YHVH Elohim forsake the seed of Abraham, Itzhak and Ya'akov/Ishrael ?

This is all He wants them to do :
2 Chronicles 7 : 14 : « If My people, who are called by My Name, will come to humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land ! »

And this is all He will do :
Echezkel 39 : 25 : « Therefore this is what YHVH Adonai says : Now I will bring back Ya'akov from their captivity, and I will have Mercy on the whole House of Ishrael, and I will show to be Jealous for My Kadosh Name ».

And once redeemed, this is all they have to do :
Tehillah (Ps.) 107 : 1 – 3 : « Glorify YHVH for He is Good, for His Mercy endures for ever ! Let the redeemed of YHVH say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, and gathered from other lands, from east and west, and from north and from the sea !».

Millenia later ... Today while we are still given the benediction to read this Book The Bible, let us borrow this passage from the Book of Psalms and take the place of the writer and the Children of Ishrael of old, in order to move forward :

Psalms106 : 4 – 6 : « Remember me, O YHVH, according to the Favor You have toward Your people ; visit me with Your Salvation, that I may see the good of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of Your nation, that I may be delighted with Your inheritance. We have sinned, along with our ancestors, we have committed iniquity and wickedness ».

Which corner of the earth are you from, but whatever corner you are from :
Let us hear again this Declaration Yehoshua HaMashiach once made, as quoted above : « And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will sit and eat in the Kingdom of Elohim ».

And once more take into consideration these Words of The Sent One, according to Luke 4 : 25 - 27, saying :

« For truly I say to you : There were many widows in Ishrael in the days of Eliyahu when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout the Land ; yet Eliyahu was not sent to one of them, but to Zarephath of Sidon, to a widow. And there were many lepers in Ishrael in the days of the Prophet Elisha, and yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian ». ... People from outside of Ishrael.

Yes, today, YHVH Elohim, The Holy One of Ishrael, is still working through this Book The Bible the non-descendants like to read. ... still seeking, calling, still inviting them « from east and west, and from north and from the sea ».

Would you consider the following solicitation the Apostle Sha'ul once made to the Congregation of old in Philippi , Philippians 2 : 12 b : « Work out with fear and trembling to carry out your salvation ! »
