The author has been walking in the Christian faith and studying Bible prophecy for most of his life. His career as a physician spotlighted the absolute necessity of tracking down the correct diagnosis and dissecting out the cause of the problem at its root. This further engendered a zeal to search out the deeper spiritual root causes of the many medical, psychological, spiritual, religious, and cultural dis-eases that plague us.

One very important spiritual dysfunctions lies in our past histories. It is the disconnect between the Israel we can see in the Jewish house and Western Christendom. The problem goes back a long way and the original grievance has been long forgotten. So in our cultural state of amnesia we are inclined to believe that the Church-Israel schism we now see will never change. But this is not true. The message of Commonwealth Theology is simply this. God fully intends to reconcile the split between Jewish Israel and the party we view as "the Church". And in the crucible of the Latter Days He will proceed to do just that, and more. All these, and many other mysteries are destined to be unsealed, in "That Day".

One prominent and much overlooked root cause of our problems springs from the law vs. grace theological divide. This was the dichotomy that provided the occasion for the split of the Kingdom of Israel into two kingdoms after the death of King Solomon. The law vs. grace favoritism of each faction helps us explain Antisemitism more succinctly than ever. We can define at its root cause it as an essential lawless hostility to the scepter and Throne of David. The scepter of sovereign national rule was given by Jacob to his fourth son, Judah, and hence, on to the royal Jewish House of Judah. This explains the jealousy, the mutual vexation, and the continuing family feud that still exists between the House of Judah and the lost ten tribes of the House of Israel.

The author, having studied and interviewed prominent Orthodox Jewish researcher and author Yair Davidiy in Jerusalem is fully convinced that after their Assyrian captivity large contingents of the Northern Kingdom of Israel migrated, or were pushed west, north of the Med. The lost ten tribes went on to become crystallized in their histories and geographies and to assume prominence in Western Christendom. The story does not end there. The Gospel is set to become the global faith extending out by adoption, by in-grafting to become not just a Congregation or Church but also a Commonwealth of nations, bringing in people from every nation, race, and tribe. Bible prophecy also declares unequivocally that in this regathering the two estranged and scattered houses are destined to be reconciled, reunited, and restored. This will answer the prayer for unity that Jesus Himself prayed.

The writings of the author on Amazon, along with his colleagues, Doug Krieger, Dr. Doug Hamp, and Chris Steinle lay out a mosaic of interconnected Biblical themes that point to this full and complete restoration of All Israel. Many of the author's writings on Amazon come from the EndTimePilgrim website and the YouTube channel "GavinFinley". As a jig-saw puzzle comes together to reveal the full picture, all these parts of the story fit together very beautifully. In fact, through the dual office in the Order of Melchizedek, the coming Messiah is the ultimate Peacemaker. He is both High Priest of God Most High and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Salem, Prince of Peace.

The message that the author and all of the writers on the theme of Commonwealth Theology bring is simply this. Those who worship the God of Israel may be a divided house right now. They may be polarized in two feuding companies that seemingly will never see eye to eye. But that is far from the case. Because in the fullness of time all that is going to change. At the end of the saga there is destined to be one single Elect and Chosen people.

The ultimate reconciliation will come in the New Covenant, in the saving, atoning, blood of Israel's promised Sacrifice Lamb. He is the promised Seed of Abraham, the One who comes into hearts to make men new, and the One who repairs the Breach of Jeroboam, to reunite the broken fellowship. The two factions are prophesied to be restored as a singular cross-linked Congregation / Commonwealth of Israel. This is the royal priesthood / holy nation that Moses and the apostle Peter both spoke about. Even now, the indwelling Messiah is at work in the hearts. By His Holy Spirit, He is pulling all this together. There is a royal decree and a gracious and merciful ministry of redemption and salvation. Herein comes the true, deep, and meaningful reconciliation.

These are dangerous times. The author considers that a true and faithful, Biblically well-founded, peace-making theology, an eschatology that reconciles Jewish Israel with Christendom, is of major importance right now. Our Replacement Theology and Dispensational Theology are both dangerous. Both of them still alienate the royal Jewish House of Judah from the Age of Grace. Both of these theologies are capable of throwing up malicious political movements. These in turn can, and have, resulted in grievous histories. So the message coming through in these writings on Commonwealth Theology is one of reconciliation. This lays out the end-time peace-making agenda of the God of Israel. It also brings with it great inspiration and encouragement.

The coming times of trial will not see God's covenant people left bereft of the Holy Spirit and derelict. Quite the contrary. In fact these wonders of reconciliation will be empowered by the promised, epic, end-of-age, Holy Spirit outpouring. The prophet Joel saw this blow-out Holy Spirit outpouring come at the end of the age, as if he was viewing something happening on a distant mountain top. The true and genuine Latter Rain will surely come. With it will come the End-Time Awakening. This will be happening all across this world. The Holy Spirit in the hearts, operating in the nine gifts and nine graces, is both the ultimate salvation and the true engine of peace in this world. This is a pending reality, -- and it has only just begun.

So the main theme in all these writings is quite simple. The full restoration of All Israel will surely come. It will break forth, even in the midst of the end-time harvest, the promised Second Exodus, and the great final in-gathering from all the nations, people coming in from every nation, race, and tribe. The partial blindness in both houses of Israel will be healed and all these wonders will be seen as the return of Christ approaches. Micah saw Messiah coming to His sheepfold as "the Breaker", to deliver and to regather All His covenant people the end of this age, even as He delivers Jerusalem. This is that wonderful Eternal Salvation and the "Peace that passes understanding" that comes to be embraced and treasured by all men of good will.
