Who we are

Our mission

We are called to teach the Set-Apart Scriptures in the original language of creation, Hebrew, restoring truth, identity and purpose.

Our mission extends to the lost sheep of Yisra’el and all nations: rebuilding families, supporting the broken, defending the orphans, and bringing light to those in prison, through the love and healing of YHWH.

Our story

From a calling to a congregation

  1. 2002

    The calling

    The journey of Beth Elohim began on 2 November 2002, when Rab Kahana Yamin Ben-EL was called into the faith by the voice of the Ruah HaQodesh (Set-Apart Spirit). From that moment he entered full-time ministry, walking the narrow path of obedience, Hebrew study and spiritual warfare, preparing for what YHWH would soon reveal.

  2. 2014

    The calling and commission

    The vision became visible in the earth. Beth Elohim Hebrew Nazarene Congregation was officially established, not as a religious institution but as a Set-Apart community, devoted to the restoration of truth, the awakening of the remnant of Yisra’EL, and the gathering of righteous souls from all nations.

  3. 2015

    A divine sign

    During a time of prayer and consecration, oil poured onto the ground formed the shape of the African continent: a confirmation from YAHUWAH that the mission was to reach the scattered tribes of Yisra’el across Africa.

  4. 2016

    Our purpose is clear

    The great awakening of the children of Yisra’EL: the dry bones come to life.

  5. 2023

    A prophetic visitation

    The Ancient Order of Melchizedek reached out to Rab Kahana Yamin Ben-EL. Later that year he was anointed and set apart by a hidden priest within the Order, marking a new phase in the mission: to restore, teach and gather the twelve tribes of Yisra’EL and the nations.

  6. 2024

    Witnesses to the scrolls

    In two prophetic gatherings, in Texas in April and in a virtual assembly in November, 140 witnesses were shown select scrolls entrusted by the Order.

  7. Today

    A worldwide ministry

    An orphanage in Northern Uganda, clean water wells for villages suffering from drought, regular ministry in Ugandan prisons, and teaching that reaches the scattered and the searching across the world.

The Nazarenes

Guardians of the Derekh HaQedem

נַצְרִיםnatsarimguardians

The Natsarim (נַצְרִים), from the Hebrew root “nasar” (נָצַר), meaning to guard, preserve or watch, are the original followers of Yahushua HaMashiah, known for walking in the Torah of YAHUWAH and carrying the testimony of Yahushua.

These believers did not create a new religion. They preserved the ancient faith of the patriarchs, walking in the Derekh HaQedem (דֶּרֶךְ הַקֶּדֶם): the Ancient Path. As it is written:

“Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths (Derekh HaQedem), where the good way is, and walk in it; and you shall find rest for your souls.”

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 6:16

First-century roots: Torah-keeping disciples of Yahushua

The Nasarim:

  • Honored the Name of YHWH
  • Followed the Torah and kept the Mo’edim (Appointed Times)
  • Believed Yahushua was the Neser (Branch) from YeshaYahu 11:1
  • Recognised the priesthood under the Order of Melchizedek

Even Roman and early church writers recorded their distinct identity:

“They accept Messiah in such a way that they do not cease to observe the old Law.”

Jerome

“They are different from the Jews, and different from Christians… They have the Good News according to Matthew in its entirety in Hebrew.”

Epiphanius

In Ma’asay (Acts) 24:5, the apostle Sha’ul (Paul) is accused of being a leader of the sect of the Nasarim, confirming their separate identity.

Suppression and scattering

After the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, the Roman empire began a campaign to erase Hebrew identity:

  • Replaced Shabbath with Sunday
  • Forbade Torah observance
  • Blended the faith with pagan customs

The Nasarim were persecuted from both sides:

  • Rabbinic Judaism rejected them for following Yahushua
  • Christianity condemned them for obeying Torah

But they endured, especially among the scattered tribes of Yisra’EL in Africa, Asia and even the early Americas, where some preserved fragments of the Derekh HaQedem.

The last-days awakening

Now, in the last days, the Ruah HaQodesh is awakening the remnant:

  • The Ancient Order of Melchizedek has reappeared to guide the Set-Apart ones
  • Hidden scrolls and ancient truths are being restored
  • The two houses of Yisra’EL are being reunited (Yehezqel 37)
  • True prophets, priests and apostles are rising again in righteousness

“Do not boast against the branches… it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.”

Romans 11:18

Join the restoration of the Ancient Path

This is the time of the greater exodus. The dry bones live again. The twelve tribes are awakening. The nations are being grafted in, not above Yisra’EL, but holding onto her fringes, in righteous order.

“In those days, ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Yehudim man, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard Elohim is with you.’”

Zekaryah (Zechariah) 8:23

Ethpatha. Be opened. Join Beth Elohim. Walk the Ancient Path. Guard the truth. Carry the hope of the Kingdom.

The Order of Melchizedek

Chosen by the Order of Melchizedek

מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶקmalki-tsedeqking of righteousnessHebrews 7:2

The Ancient Order of Melchizedek has visited Rab Kahana Yamin Ben-EL, anointing and appointing him as a priest and an apostle. He has been commissioned to take the Sabartha D’Malkutha (the Hope of the Kingdom) to all nations, even as the Apostle Paul did in ancient times.

A prophetic visitation

In 2023, a remarkable and divinely appointed moment occurred. The Ancient Order of Melchizedek, a sacred organisation representing the royal priesthood and bloodline of the 12 tribes of Yisra’EL, reached out to Rab Kahana Yamin Ben-EL, the spiritual leader of Beth Elohim. This was not a coincidence: it was the fulfilment of a decade-long observation guided by the Ruach Ha Qodesh (Set-Apart Spirit). They revealed that our kohen had been watched for ten years and was divinely identified as a priest and apostle, a last-days reflection of Shaul (Paul), chosen to carry the hope of the Kingdom to all nations before the end comes.

Later that year, Rab Kahana Yamin Ben-EL was officially anointed and set apart by a hidden priest within the Ancient Order of Melchizedek. This sacred moment marked the beginning of a new phase in our mission: to restore, teach and gather the 12 tribes of Yisra’EL and the nations with prophetic clarity and spiritual power. The messengers brought not only confirmation but also rare gifts and revelations that have never been seen by the nations.

Treasures shared

  • Original scrolls of Bereshith (Genesis), Waiqra (Leviticus) and YeshaYahu (Isaiah)
  • A fragment of the Book of Hanok (Enoch)
  • A Gospel of Mattityahu (Matthew) scroll with an authentic signature
  • The Aramaic and Arabic scroll of Barnabas
  • Ancient images of prophets, scenes from early Yisra’EL, and the hidden priests who still guard the Ark of the Covenant

In two prophetic gatherings, one in Texas (April 2024) and another in a virtual assembly (November 2024), a total of 140 witnesses were shown select scrolls, serving as further confirmation of this divine visitation.

Knowledge imparted

  • The ancient tongue of Hebrew with correct pronunciation
  • Prophetic meditation techniques passed down from the prophets
  • Collaboration on a restored Aramaic translation of the Four Gospels, ensuring that the true words of the Messiah reach the four corners of the earth

Just as the Order appeared in the days of Enoch, Noah, Methuselah, Shem and Abraham, so too they have now come again, ahead of the great trials of the last days and the return of Yeshua Ha Mashiah. Their arrival affirms the prophetic timeline and aligns with our ministry’s mission and vision.

We honour this sacred visitation and now move forward with boldness, taking all we have received to uplift, awaken and gather the 12 tribes and teach the nations.

Ahaba (Love), Sadeqah (Righteousness), w’Shalum (and Peace). Baruch Haba to all who join us in this journey.
