Me Lo Goy

Also known as Me Lo HaGoyim. What is that you say?  Everything.  Those three little words have changed my whole life.  Me lo Goy means multitude of nations.  Abraham was told he would be the father of many nations (Gen 17:4).  Abraham had a son Isaac and he had a son named Jacob and he had twelve sons and they are: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Ashur, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin.  There was a lot of begatting here.  Now we know that Joseph gets sold and ends up in Egypt. While there Joseph marries Asenath, daughter of Egyptian priest and has two sons, Manassah and Ephraim.  There is this great famine and Jacob sends his sons to Egypt and it comes to light that Joseph is now running the show.  There is a great family reunion, sorry just trying to get to the main subject.  So Jacob is now on his deathbed and Joseph is talking with his father.  Jacob says that Manassah and Ephraim will be his sons as Rueuben and Simeon are his sons.  Now Rueuben and Simeon are the oldest.  Jacob also says that anyone after them would also be his and shall be called after the name of their brethern in their inheritance.  He adopts Joseph's sons as His own. As we see here:
8And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
 9And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom Elohim hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
 10Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
 11And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, Elohim hath shewed me also thy seed.
 12And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
 13And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
 14And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
 15And he blessed Joseph, and said, Elohim , before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the Elohim which fed me all my life long unto this day,
 16The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
 17And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
 18And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
 19And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
 20And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, Elohim make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
 21And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but Elohim shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
 22Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

Jacob blesses the youngest, Ephraim, and says he will grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.  Now let's back track here a little. Back in Genesis 15:13-18 when our Elohim makes a covenant with Abraham, our Elohim gives him a summary of what is going to happen to all his children as he going to be a father of many nations:
 13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
 14And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
 15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. (Now that was in Egypt)
 16But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
 17And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
 18In the same day the Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: (just saying: the Nile to the Euphrates) 

Now in verse 16 it says "in the fourth generation they shall come hither again" in other words they would go back into captivity and then return to Him.  As we have read, when Jeroboam sinned the ten tribes went into captivity by the Assyrians.  Are we coming full circle yet?  The Ten Tribes (aka House of Ephraim, House of Joseph, etc.) over time assimilated into the ones around them.  They left the covenant.  They left their Father, Husband, Yahweh.  They grew and became a multitude of nations. Along with that captivity came a blindness. But that is for another post.  But the punishment is up and He is calling His children, His bride, His people back to His covenant. Don't believe me, google it.  When I started years ago (early to mid 2000) looking online to see if others believed and was seeing the same as I. I really couldn't find anything.  Now, it is all over the internet.  People's eyes and ears being opened and the funny thing is, it is not something they had to orginially be taught.  The Holy Spirit is bringing us into all Truth.   We are turning away from pagan holidays (christmas, easter, halloween, birthdays, etc.) and returning back to His Sabbath, His  Feasts, His Commandments.  And if you think the first exodus was great, wait for the second exodus
