He knows his true worship can only be offered in his Father's House.
He knows his true work can only be done on holy ground.
Ephraim's Aliyah has begun...!

VI---Ephraim's Aliyah Has Begun...!
Ephraim's Aliyah has begun...!
He knows his true worship can only be offered in his Father's House.
He knows his true work can only be done on holy ground.
He knows his true song can only be sung in Zion. (He can only weep by the rivers of Babylon)

V---Ephraim's Aliyah Has Begun...!
Ephraim's Aliyah has begun!
Ephraim's heart is turning to his Father.
Ephraim's heart is remembering Joseph and his grandfather Israel.
And Ephraim is hearing the tears of his grandmother Rachel.
And Ephraim is seeing his uncle Judah.
And Ephraim is knowing his true family.
And Ephraim feels the yearning hearts of his fathers.

IV---Ephraim's Aliyah Has Begun...!
Ephraim's Aliyah has begun...!
"Ephraim consider well the earlier highway you took in your youth!"
I am pondering deeply the road of my youth.
Ephraim is setting up waymarks for himself to test and confirm the way to "home."
Ephraim is recognizing the guideposts and signposts of the way to Zion.
Ephraim's Aliyah journey on the ancient way " home" has begun!

III---Ephraim's Aliyah Has Begun...!
Only Ephraim has given up building "trophy" houses. He dwells once again in tents of sojourning. Ephraim's gods are melting and crumbling in the fiery furnace of Egypt's afflictions---thence they are cast to the ground.
"I have heard Ephraim bemoaning, 'Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened, like an untrained calf; bring me back that I may be restored, for thou art Yahweh my God. For after I had turned away I repented; and after I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, and I was confounded because I bore the disgrace of my youth.'
"Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he my darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do remember him still. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him says Yahweh."

II---Ephraim's Aliyah Has Begun...
Ephraim's Aliyah has begun...!
Who but an Ephraimite would have even the foggiest idea of what the Hebrew word "Aliyah" means?
Only Ephraim will ponder the significance of joining Judah in the Land of Israel! The rest of the world, and most of Christianity, is distancing itself from "Israel"---horizontally, e.g. in world politics, and vertically in the doctrine of the "rapture."
Only Ephraim knows he is "poor, blind, pitiable, wretched, and naked." The riches he thought he had are but religious rags and pig slop.
Only Ephraim, the true prodigal son, has started his journey "home." His Father sees him afar off, knows the broken and repentant heart of his son Ephraim, and He has called for the feast, the robe, and the ring.
Ephraim, your Aliyah has begun!

Ephraim's Aliyah has begun...!
Ephraim's aliyah is a journey that begins in the heart. Ephraim, scattered throughout all nations, recalls and remembers all the deeds of his God. The blessings and curses visited upon him stir in his heart, and he yearns.
He yearns for the fulfillment of a promise spoken so long ago by a loving Father to his wayward son. "If you turn back to me my son, with all your heart and all your soul, then I, Yahweh your God, will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and I will gather you again from all the peoples where I have scattered you...from there I will come and fetch you and bring you into the Land which your fathers possessed, so that you also my dear Ephraim may possess it too.
When Ephraim's heart is moved to turn in this direction, it is at this crossroad, this waymark on his journey, that...Ephraim's Aliyah has begun!
