נֹצְרִ֖ים בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם
Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.
Update on Saeed:
Saeed’s father was not able to visit Saeed in prison today. There was a holiday and visitations were not allowed. Last week Saeed’s father was allowed a short visit. Saeed had been struggling with a bad cold and stomach flu and they could not talk for long. I hope to have more information next week after Saeed’s father is able to visit Saeed.
Thank you for your continued prayers!
God Bless you all!
