Introduction   

The Reconnection Mandate is comprised of five directives for the body of Messiah/Christ. It explains the necessary steps designed to guide the body into The Reconnection in TONM between Jewish and Gentile believers and Israel and the Church (see Ephesians 2:11-22). The Reconnection message focuses largely on restoring and reconciling this special relationship in God’s family, a bond that also acts as a catalyst to help fulfill God’s end-time plans.

While we concentrate mainly on this Reconciliation, it is not the main goal of The Reconnection message. Our overall objective is to rediscover and reactivate greater love and unity in the family of God, according to the Lord’s Prayer in John 17. Here we find that Yeshua/Jesus releases His glory to a united family, one that mirrors the beautiful unity between Father and Son. This is our mission and purpose; however, we are convinced that this Reconnection message is the epicenter of this Restoration and is foundational to the rest. So, focusing on this part of God’s plan first opens the door to the balance; this is our approach. We must not put the cart before the horse!

The Reconnection specifically undertakes to mend the breach between Messianic Jewish and Gentile believers. Repairing this rift is also foundational to rebuild unity in other areas of the body of Messiah/Christ where factions exist, such as racial and theological divisions. A focus first on unity between Jewish and Gentile believers opens the door of God’s plan to heal ruptures that have fragmented the body. We believe this John 17 love is a prerequisite to the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the fire of God relating to end-time events. The Reconnection message helps to restore the body of Messiah/Christ to its former glory for its future glory!

With this in mind, The Reconnection becomes one of the most significant spiritual transactions of our time. Metaphorically speaking, the body is led onto a bridge of “Restoration” where God’s mercy releases healing between God’s firstborn children and His children from the nations. Through the Restoration, Jewish and Gentile believers are prompted to reconcile in TONMThe two reunited groups in Yeshua/Jesus then cross the bridge onto a pathway of Realignment that produces actionable partnership between the Gentile Church and the Remnant of Israel. The Reconnection message restores the Church’s identity in and with Israel and helps to build greater unity in the body of Messiah/Christ, thus enabling the Church/Ekklesia to fulfill its destiny.

We are living in “that day” of Israel’s physical & spiritual restoration (see Amos 9:11). It is a time in history about which the apostle Paul challenged us not to be ignorant concerning the mystery of Israel’s salvation (see Romans 11:25-27). We need not  only to understand  it  but also  to be prepared  to explain its full significance to others, so that this spiritual transaction can take place in the family of God. For this reason, it is crucial to grasp The Reconnection message and its tie to “that day,” especially now that Israel is awakening spiritually, and the Gentile Church is awakening to Israel.

Our response must shift now as we seek to help our Father restore His firstborn (Jewish believers) into unity with the rest of the body. We not only need to give it our full support but recognize it as a corrected pathway connecting to the end-time harvest and Israel’s salvation. Unity in TONM is a golden key to unlocking this mystery that ultimately makes Israel/the Church complete. (Israel and the Church ultimately become one at the end of the age.) This relationship is explained in detail in Romans 911Time To Sound The Alarm! It is interesting to note that Romans 9-11, Numbers 9:11, Amos 9:11, and Ezekiel 37:9-11 all share the common numerals of 9 and 11. Additionally, each of these references sounds an alarm of our Lord and alerts us to Israel’s awakening and our significant role in reviving the body of Messiah/Christ.

Paul refers to the end-time harvest when he writes in Romans 11 that “the fullness of the Gentiles has come in” and “all Israel will be saved.” The Church has traditionally understood these events to mean that once the full number of Gentiles has been brought to salvation, then all Israel shall be saved. This interpretation has shifted the Kingdom focus of the gospel away from Israel and has led the Church to concentrate on reaching the nations and leave Israel’s salvation to God. While there is a sequence in these verses, we believe that they should be viewed in a broader sense.

The gospel has been preached to the Gentile nations since the time of the Acts of the Apostles and should obviously continue through to fulfillment. Yet we are also entering a time where the blindness of the Jewish people to the gospel is lifting. An increasing number are discovering Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah, more than at any time since the 1st century. We believe it is an era where the fullness of the Gentiles is occurring at the same time as Israel’s openness to the gospel; and the two are intricately linked together. Believers during much of the Church age may not have seen or understood the connection until this time. This concurrent progression actually creates a synergistic effect whereby both groups are ignited to greater growth through The Reconnection message. Growth will be further advanced when the Church rightly comprehends and realigns to the Kingdom principle of the gospel, which is to the Jew first (Romans 1:16).

The Reconnection in TONM helps to accomplish this advancement and consummate the Church’s return towards Israel by stimulating Israel’s awakening and spiritual restoration to a greater degree. It is a power equation to realign the Church back into the fullness of her identity in and with Israel and to awaken and prepare the bride for Yeshua’s return. The Reconnection message strips the devil of divisive powers relating to family unity and helps to chart a course to heal and restore other divisions in the family of God.

We must come to understand that there is no substitute for this message of renewed unity. It is God’s way to move his Holy Temple (Church/Ekklesia), His ark back towards Jerusalem, to prepare the bride for the Bridegroom (1Corinthians 3:16; 6:19: Isaiah 62:6-7; Revelation 19:7). This is God’s plan and like David we must discover His directives to achieve the goal (2 Samuel 6:12-15; 1 Chronicles 15:1-28).
