Why This Gathering Place? |
The main purpose of Shaar
Israel, is to serve as a gathering and networking place for those whom the
Almighty in our time has started to awaken from the
We recognize that this
awakening from spiritual death is nothing less than a Divinely-given gift and a
Divinely-mediated process and like a resurrection, cannot be self-generated.
However, we can and are obligated to
gather our scattered initial numbers
together as commanded by our father Jacob, and as commanded by the Almighty
through His prophet Isaiah:
“And Jacob called unto his sons and said, Gather yourselves
together that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
Gather yourselves together and hear, ye sons of Jacob and hearken unto
“Assemble yourselves and
come near together,
ye that are
escaped
of the nations; they have no knowledge that set up the wood
of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.”
— (Isa. 45:20)

networking with members of Shaar
Concerted action is also
needed in intercession prayer for mercy for our peoples to which
the prophet Joel has called us in the

upon us:
“Gather the people, sanctify the
congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the
breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her
pavilion.
Let the priests, the ministers of
the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say: 'Spare thy
people, O LORD, and give not Thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should
make them a byword: wherefore should they say among the peoples: Where is their
God?’” —
Joel 2:16-17
How you can become a
member of The Fellowship of Gathering
Like the inexplicable inner
knowing one has of the Divine calling to awaken to Israelite identity, likewise
early returnees of the “Ten Tribes” have
an inner yearning to be active in some endeavor that expresses that identity in
a tangible and effective way. If
you have that knowing and yearning, you have the main prerequisites for a
foundation for membership in this “work.”
If you agree with no
reservations with
the three foundational articles of
faith, you might be further identifying as a candidate for meaningful
action.
If you espouse the
principles of the
Declaration of Principles
of the Fellowship of Gathering Israel, you are on way to back up your faith with
deeds.
