We’ve all heard the parable about the prodigal son. Most of the time it’s used in reference to a born again son verses an unsaved son who comes to his senses and returns back to God. That’s not a bad way way to use it as an example, but I’m going to give you a new twist on an old parable. We all know that Judah is more than just Jews, but one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Eleven of those tribes are off in the world right now. Yeshua was and IS being sent to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel” through us today. The collecting of the manna for six days in the desert was to “retrain” Israel in the observence of Shabbat. They had been in Egypt too long and were into keeping the pagan ways as we have been today. Those eleven tribes are being regathered today back to the Father’s ways. In the parable of the prodigal son, the younger son represents the lost eleven tribes. They’re out in the world trying to make it by the world’s Christian traditions. They left the Father’s house (Torah). Upon living and worshipping all the wrong days and feasts, he (the lost tribes) comes to his senses and returns to his Father’s house (His Torah).

But the other son which is Judah tells his Father that he has always been faithful to keep his commandments. The Father explained to him that “this son” was dead, but now he’s alive and he should rejoice. Instead of rejoicing though, the son became jealous because he was guilty of being self-righteous. In actuality, each son needed something the other son had (the lost tribes needed the Torah and Judah needed the Messiah). Doesn’t it say in the scripture that we will make Judah jealous? How would we as believers make Judah jealous except by doing the things that the “obedient son” in the parable did all along? We’re doing things now such as keeping Shabbat on the correct day, wearing prayer shawls, keeping Torah, and keeping the correct feasts? So we as part of the lost eleven tribes are the younger son in the parable finally coming to our senses as to where we belong! See you thought it was too late to be mentioned in the Bible personally, but you’re there though, as the “prodigal son”.
