NCCG.ORG was originally an amalgam of various websites and online groups which have since fused together. These include New Covenant Ministries (NCM) (consisting of many subdivisions such as New Covenant Ministries for Mormons (NCMM), for Muslims, Hindus, those with Sexual Identity Problems, for those with demonic issues, etc.), the written materials of the precursor to NCAY, the New Covenant Church of God (NCCG) better known by its Messianic Hebrew designation, B'rit Chadashah Assembly of Yahweh (BCAY), the former New Covenant House Church Fellowship (NCHCF), the Chavurat Bekorot (CB) or Holy Order (HO), the Holy Echad Marriage (HEM) page, the Olive Branch (OB) page, the Science page, and many other Messianic and Christian resources produced and provided to aid the end-time remnant find their way home in this complex and confusing world.

This is one of the largest and most comprehensive Christian/Messianic websites on the internet with over 4,000 articles, sermons, devotionals, and instructional materials that continue to be added to weekly. Because we are a community undergoing rapid expansion and change and have been through a number of different transitions, this introductory page seeks to explain what this process has been, what it is now, and what our ultimate goals are. A new website is under construction, a work requiring several years, and will seamlessly integrate all the old websites under a single name for NCAY's endtime world mission and eliminate all the old site names.

Life is a faith journey. It's beginning and end we have absolutely no control over. God (Yahweh) decides when we are born (and into what circumstances) and when we die (and out of life's circumstances). Like lines converging on a single point - you - Yahweh will bring people into your life to attract, nudge, push or drag you - willingly and sometimes unwillingly - to the place where He wants you to be. You will have varying degrees of freedom between birth and death. In that mix called "life" you will be encouraged to make choices that will lead you to the complete fulfilment of your life mission, to partial success, or to total failure. You will have genuine choices but never total freedom because every single living being is limited, to some extent, by the choices of others and by the will of Yahweh. And of all the choices you make, only one really matters - whether you choose Yahweh (and a whole new way of life) or Satan (which includes choosing self and following the crowd lemming-like). All other choices may be said to be sub-choices because they are all coloured and directed by the original big Choice - Yahweh or Satan.

Those lines that converge on you will consist of persons bringing both blessings and cursings - messengers of Yahweh bringing good things and messengers of Satan to deflect, stop or destroy you. Amongst those bearing blessings will be those carrying keys to help you unlock the mystery of life and at least one carrying the message of salvation in Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ). All are important but none more important than the message of salvation. Thereafter other messengers will be sent to you - human and angelic - to develop that salvation into its fullness so that you can unfold into the full measure of your creation.

Yahweh knows beforehand who will choose Him and who will reject Him. On this earth you will walk with three categories of person:

• (1) The one who will accept Him 100% and keep striving until he (or she) has fully overcome every spiritual weakness and handicap that we inherit in our mortal physical bodies - his life is marked with struggle and ultimate victory;
• (2) The One who initially accepts Him but does not complete the journey, not fully choosing Him in every aspect of their life, and who end life incompletely built, because they won't struggle and sacrifice; and
• (3) Those who constantly and consistently reject Him, never making the most important choice of all, but making numerous wrong and progressively worse choices in their descent into darkness and destruction. The third category oppose the second and first, and sadly, the second also frequently opposes the first.

In this mortal sphere the Enemy has sown lies upon more lies upon more lies like layers upon layers of blankets packed upon suffering humanity. In our own strength and power we cannot possibly untangle the lies nor throw off their suffocating effects on our spirits. The most important decision you will ever make in your like is receiving the Grand Key of Salvation, Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), that throws these off. From that point on, though life may not be easy, it will at least be successful in the real and absolute sense.

This website describes the journeyings and ministry of one man and his companions in faith as they have negociated the maze called mortal life. The coming of this man was predicted by the 19th century Serbian prophet Mitar Tarabic who accurately foretold both world wars in detail and who wrote:

"Among people of a nation far in the north [Norway] a little man [of no importance from the world's point-of-view] will appear who will teach men about love and compassion, but there will be many Judas's and hypocrites around him so that he will have many ups and downs. Not one of these hypocrites will want to know what is real human grace, but his wise books will remain, and all the words he will say, and then then people will see how self-deceived they were"

There are literally thousands of spiritual keys - large and small - here that will help you in your journey. Moreover, you will find that these keys are arranged systematically so that you, who ever you are, can find your way out of the maze or matrix of demonic illusion and into the brilliant liberating light of Yahweh-Elohim, God Almighty. We have been through a lot and (as you will see in the Future section below), are still on our journey.

If you are one of those who wants the whole truth - if you are one of those who are not satisfied with anything but reality, however uncomfortable - and if you are willing to do whatever Yahweh wants of you to realise His glorious plan for your life both here on earth and in the eternities, then we invite you to join us on the Way and become one of our companions too. We'd love to have you. And may the Master of the Way - Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) - bless you abundantly as you study and implement the contents of this website in your life.

NCAY has a long and varied history and as a result has evolved some complex structures to meet its various needs and developments. As previously mentioned, NCCG.ORG is actually the fusion of a number of different websites, ministries and their respective organisations which have become progressively harmonised and integrated over time. Although this process is now well advanced, there is still some more work to be done. Up until 2013, when everything was greatly simplified, a complex system under the overall umbrella of New Covenant Ministries was in operation that you will find illustrated in the chart below:

The relationships between the different parts of New Covenant Ministries were as follows:

• 1. Strictly speaking, NCCG.ORG was originally the website of New Covenant Ministries (NCM) (formerly known as New Covenant Christian Ministries or NCCM) which both incorporates everything we do here as well as being a series of specialist ministries for people caught up in Occultism, Mormonism, Islam, Hinduism, the New Age, abberant sexual lifestyles, and various heresies. It also included a special ministry for Gathering the End-Time Apostles. The reason the website is named after NCCG is because the building of the New Covenant Church of God was originally our primary activity and NCCG was 'older' than NCM.

• 2. The Chavurat Bekorot or Holy Order was the priesthood ministry of NCM, NCCG and all our other labours. It was the organisation responsible for training apostles, evangelists, elders, deacons, etc.. for the ministry as well as providing educational materials for all the aspects of our work. Membership in the Holy Order was only for ordained ministers or trainees.

• 3. The ultimate goal of the Holy Order was to build end-time cities of refuge for the last generation. We regard this to be the penultimate generation before Messiah returns though the last generation is coming into the world at this time. We believe the anti-Messiah or antichrist to be here already. Since it is the last generation who will build these twelve places of refuge, the current one is mostly concerned in establishing proto-firsborn communities or preparatory gathering places where the necessary skills required for surviving during the Great Trbulation can be learned. We believe this may take up to 40 years to learn and we are about half way through this learning process.

• 4. The New Covenanant Church of God (NCCG)/B'rit Chadashah Assembly of Yahweh (BCAY) was a gathering in the world, in the traditional church format, of those assaying to become a part of the end-time communities or who simply wanted fellowship with New Covenant Christians (as we are sometimes still called). From this pool of seekers will be drawn those who take the necessary spiritual and practical steps to prepare for the Final Gathering. NCCG has a long developmental history which you can read about in Section #3 below, Short History of NCCG. NCCG is itself in transition towards a purely Messianic Israelite assembly and fellowship which was organised in 2005 and called Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon (MLT), and which in 2013 became the name of the central or mother congregation of all the New Covenant Assemblies of Yahweh (NCAY).

• 5. Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon (MLT) was the final development of NCCG and was entirely a priestly assembly. This means that it only accepted those from NCCG or the world who were unmistakably called by the Ruach haQodesh. The original conception was that as the current generation came to an end, so NCCG would be phased out so that the only members in the world would belong to MLT. You might say that they were the 'gathering of the cream' of NCCG. Therefore it was expected that NCCG and MLT would run in parallel for this generation.

• 6. The New Covenant House Church Fellowship (NCHCF) (formerly known as the B'rit Chadashah Evangelical Association/BCEA) was an association of independent congregations allied to NCCG who desired, over a three year period, to become full members of NCCG. Membership in NCHCF terminated at the end of the three year transition period with the applicant congregation(s) either becoming full members of NCCG under apostolic authority or by moving on completely independently or joining other associations.

• 7. The One House Josephite Messianic Israel Association (1MIA) was an association of independent congregations which accepted the 1MIA Charter and who could, if they wished, have become full members of MLT. This was essentially MLT's equivalent of NCCG's New Covenant House Church Fellowship (NCHCF) - as in NCHCF, there was a three year transition between application to join MLT and full membership, but unlike NCHCF, there was no expiry date of membership of 1MIA - congregations could remain members without ever formally joining MLT.

NCCG was first organised in 1986/7 as the Restoration Christian Fellowship (RCF), a small association of former members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (a break-off of the Mormon Church, often known as 'Moderate' or 'Missouri Mormons', today known as the Community of Christ) in England seeking fellowship with evangelical Christians. In 1988 they formally organized the Independent Church (IC), which relocated to Norway the same year, during which time a considerable evolution of doctrine and practice took place. In 1990 all vestiges of Mormonism were publically renounced and forsaken and in 1992 it reconsitituted itself as an evangelical Christian sola scriptura fellowship known as the New Covenant Christian Fellowship (NCCF), the precursor to NCCG. Between 1992 and 1995 a more concrete doctrine and practice crystalised out to replace the former IC system, resulting in the formal organisation of NCCG. In 1996 NCCG went online and at length purchased the NCCG.ORG domain.

There would be one last radical doctrinal and practical shift in 1999 when NCCG became Messianic. The main changeover to 7th day Sabbath assembly and worship, observance of the 7 mandatory Festivals of Yahweh, observing kashrut (the kosher dietary laws) and observance of the Sacred Names (Yahweh, Yah'shua, etc.) took place between 1999-2000. Another period of intense exploration took place as more adjustments were made to make NCCG fully Torah-compliant.

There are always multiple spiritual streams and currents operating in any new group of believers as they both meet and respond to the challenges of the contemporary generation. It would be true to say that NCCG was in constant flux as more light and truth came our way and as we sought to properly realise our mission in the world. By 2005 it was clear that we had so completely outgrown our original paradigm as a "church-system" and become a part of the Messianic Israelite Commonwealth of Tribes that it was decided that a new name change was needed that was more in harmony with both our new Hebraic-roots beliefs and the truth of what New Covenant Israel actually is. Accordingly on 14 September 2005 we renamed ourselves Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon which means, in Hebrew, "Family of the Heart of Zion". Additionally, we had come to see ourselves less as a "church" or an "organisation" and more as a ministry and a family, resulting first in the formation of Bri't Chadashah Evangelical Association (BCEA) which was later replaced by New Covenant Ministries (NCM) even though ministry to the wider body of Christ had always been - and still remains - a part of our original Five Commissions. Today we call ourselves MESSIANIC EVANGELICALS (or evangelical messianics) and specifically MESSIANIC EVANGELICAL ISRAELITES (to distinguish and separate ourselves from pro-Zionist Messianic Judaism) though we still retain our old New Covenant Christian label too. Finally, we are Josephite Evangelical Messianic Israelites since, unlike most Messianic Jews and Israelites, we accept the headship of the Tribe of Joseph and not Judah. In that respect we are unique in the Messianic Movement.

By the end of the first decade of the 21st centiry, all of the former NCCG congregations, most of them in India and some in Africa, had become fully independent and have since adopted their own names. This left only the original congregation, still known as Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon (MLT), in Arvika, Sweden, which became the home of the remaining members from Sweden, Norway and Germany.

In 2013 the long awaited revival began with the signs and wonders long prophesied, not in Scandinavia as anticipated, but in East Africa, along with explosive growth. This required a complete reorganisation of MLT to meet the organisational needs of the new congregations. The result was a considerably simplified Constitution which awaits ratification of the 2014 General Conference at Sukkot. The decision was made to retain the MLT label for the central congregation in Sweden and to combine the old names of New Covenant Church of God (NCCG) and B'rit Chadashah Assembly of Yahweh (BCAY) into the New Covenant Assemblies of Yahweh (NCAY).

An older version of this website

The current NCCG.ORG website contains materials that span our whole history from 1986/7 to the present. And whilst many cosmetic changes have been made in this new updated website (2008) to the earliest articles to harmonise them with our evolving beliefs, there are still a few that reflect positions, beliefs and practices that are no longer adhered to by us but have been retained for historical interest to show how our thinking has evolved. This needs to be born in mind when reading the materials here. (For example, we have now moved on from the simpler Prototrinitarianism to the fuller Echad Doctrine of the Godhead).

NCCG/BCAY went online in 1996, acquired its own NCCG.ORG domain name in 1999, and by the time it closed for 2½ years in April 2005 had received about four million visitors over a six year period. The website was closed in April 2005 for several reasons:

• Firstly, it had become cumbersome owing to its vast size (at its peak, around 3,000 articles), and its unsystematic and haphazzard construction, and was therefore poorly integrated making it extremely difficult to navigate. It was evident that a total redesign was needed;

• Secondly, it became the target of numerous hackers who did not, we suppose, like its direct, no-nonsense message and was thus rendered inoperable numerous times;

• Thirdly, it was the work largely of one man who was overwhelmed by the shere scale of the project given his numerous other responsibilities as a minister and family man coupled with poor health;

• Fourthy, NCCG/BCAY had itself evolved at great speed during the years the site was online rendering many of the earlier materials obsolete and no longer relevent to its mission; and

• Fifthly, NCCG/BCAY underwent a major doctrinal shift in 1999 when it became Messianic and Sacred Name-observant. This necessitated a complete cosmetic change of every article on the website (for example, changing the names of Deity). During the changeover the newer articles included both the old and the new terminology, making these materials heavy and cumbersome in their own right. Thus both the new and unchanged older materials required rewriting.

The original plan was to have this done within a year (to be ready by the end of 2006) but numerous delays and postponments rendered the original target dates totally impractical. With the website offline for 2½ years with no sign of the project being completed in the near future, it was decided instead to place the original website back online with a few simplifications, modifications and artistic improvements in order to make it once again available to the public. Though a robot archive was always available online, this was, and is, not linked to search engines and so NCCG.ORG's materials were effectively offline for 2½ years.

Between 2006 and 2007, when NCCG.ORG was reactivated, this domain hosted the new website under construction and its one hundred or so new materials but none of the old ones. With no prospect of the new website being completed in the near future, it was decided to construct the new website elsewhere and use the old domain name to house the old website and the emerging new website. That is what you, the reader, have here, about 95% of the original material. The old layout has been completely overhauled so as to make the presentation more attractive and to facilitate navigation. New improvements will continue to be added, as time permits. Most of the old sound (music) content has been removed with a more liberal use of illustrations as this is what most users wanted.

The plan was to create a new MLT website and gradually transfer the old NCCG website into it. When it became clear that an entirely new website design was needed, this project was halted in its early stages which is why you will find both an old NCCG/BCAY and MLT website running side by side. The MLT website is in essence only a repository of the second sermon series and will not be expanded further. This current NCCG.ORG website will remain here until the new NCAY website design is completed and the old one, containing both the old NCCG/BCAY and aborted MLT sites, fully integrated and replaced. Given the current rate of progress, we do not expect this to be ready before 2015.

In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy the materials here. Please remember that some of the doctrinal positions of these articles are no longer necessarily those upheld today by NCAY. If you would like to have further contact with us, please go to the contact page.

NCCG.ORG has provoked considerable controversy and opposition from the beginning because of its no-nonsense stance on the Scriptures, especially respecting controversial subjects. We have not sought to be religiously or politically correct but to state the truth as we see it. We do, however, respect an honestly held position. We certainly believe that when a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest. Equally, we have come to recognise, from our own painful experience that "All truth goes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Then, it is violently opposed; Finally, it is accepted as self-evident" (Ludwig Wittgenstein). As a ministry committed to all truth, we know the price that must be paid for holding our ground when the whole world seems to be against you and people of ill-will are literally trying to destroy you.

We have openly challenged many golden calves in Christendom and provoked a vigorous backlash. These include, for example, the modern rapture doctrine (which we view as an escapist myth), tongues (psychic titillation ... or worse), the KJV-Only heresy (the lazy man's way attempt to avoid an in-depth study of the Word), antinomianism (lawlessness) (the rebel's answer to obedience), Trinitarian assumptions (letting a Catholic council of fallible men do your Godhead thinking for you and breaking the sola scriptura rule), the Sunday and Saturday 'sabbaths' (avoiding the obvious for the sake of an antisemitic Catholic tradition and a Pharisaic Jewish one, respectively), the 'once saved, always saved' (OSAS) teaching (the lazy man's way of avoiding discipleship and maturing), pagan traditions (such as Christmas observance), abusive patriarchy and feminism (perverting the divine rôles of the genders), a male-only minstry (refusing to recognise that women are called to minister too ... in their own spheres of stewardship), eternal punishment (painting God as some sadist - yes, we're universalists) and so on. We have also started ministries to help Mormons, Hindus, Muslims, Essenes, those requesting help with sexual orientation problems and polygamist Africans wanting to convert to Christianity without having to give up their biblically-sanctioned marriage lifestyle. We believe in a spiritual pre-existence (and, yes, the Mormons do have one or two things right) but not in reincarnation. We look squarely at evolutuion and at phenomena such as UFOs, the nefilim, and near-death experiences because we believe that all of life's phenomena should be examined carefully. We are not afraid to confront all reality head-on.

But the greatest resistance and opposition came when, as NCM, we felt strongly called into deliverance ministry to help the victims of ritual abuse and satanic cults (which the world wishes to riddicule and pretend don't exist because the truth is just too awful), and started openly waging war against the spiritual foces behind occultism. This ministry more than anything else both changed our public profile, drawing strong personal and public criticism that resulted in an open campaign of slander and spreading misinformation about us on websites and in the media with a view to permanently silencing us and keeping the lid tightly on the reality of the sadomasochism that occurs in secret in our supposedly enlightened society. This journey of horror led us in turn to discover, along with others, the silent conspiracy going on in our world to create a world dictatorship. This all occurred recently within the last ten years. Needless to say, our outlook has been radically changed by our encounters with this shadowy world. It has not been pleasant but for the sake of the victims (in many ways, the West's 'untouchables') we have soldiered on. To get some idea of what we are facing, see The Illuminati Formula to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Control Slave

The webpage which you will read here therefore came at a great price. Most of our membership have fled at some time or an other and the leadership lambasted. The things written in it are not said lightly, to gain popularity, money, fame, or anything like this (for we have received none of these things - quite the opposite). Most of our conclusions are the result of deep personal experiences with both our Heavenly Father Yahweh and with people. Only those who are completely dedicated to the truth, no matter the cost, come and remain with us. Which is as it should be. This website exists primarily to inform, not recruit, though we are more than glad when others join us, and are now organised once again to receive them. Therefore we are firstly a ministry and only secondly a 'church' in the traditionally understood sense of that word. Whatever ministry, assembly, church or group you feel you have been called to, we bless you to be where Yahweh wants you to be. You can explore without feeling there are any expectations on you knowing that we want you to do Yahweh's will in your life and that only you can know what that is.

Where the Ruach haQodesh or Holy Spirit is at work, nothing remains static and you never know what's coming next. That is in the nature of the Ruach which is compared to wind by Yah'shua (Jesus). The Kingdom of Yahweh is one of movement and progress. To be in His service is to literally be on the cutting-edge of life whether in the desert of affliction and refinement like the children of Israel, whether in the forefront of evangelism like Paul and his companions, whether amongst the influential like John, whether at home raising up a godly seed to Yahweh like Hannah and Mary, whether as a ruler like King David and Joseph, or whether in prison like Joseph of Egypt and Paul.

THE VISION

But having read this short introduction, you're probably still wondering, who are we? Where are we heading? What is our goal? And the best way we can explain that is through a vision which Yahweh gave in 2007, one of literally thousands which has added deeper and deeper focus and clarity as we have tried to be faithful to each stage of the task.

I saw a road heading through a valley towards some distant mountains over which it passed to some unseen final destination. It was a very narrow road, more like a path or country lane. Ahead of me was a small hamlet consisting of only two houses beyond which was a gentle descent into a valley and beyond that the mountains. There was one house on either side of the road and opposite one another so that the road passed directly between them. Where the road was, there was much light (as along its entire length), as there was also in the valley beyond. There was an even brighter light coming from behind the mountains into which the road disappeared. Behind the two houses, and on either side of this little path, was first twilight and then complete darkness. The backs of the two houses jutted out into this darkness. As I looked closer I could see that the backs of both houses were crumbling into ruins so that in reality only about half of each house was habitable. As the vision ended I heard Yahweh speak: "Walk this road".

Upon the vision closing I knew that the two houses represented two systems of religious belief and practice. The house on the left represented Evangelical Christianity begun by Martin Luther and his associates in the 1500's and the house on the left represented the Messianic Judaism and Israelitism started by Jewish converts to Christ principally from the mid 1900's to today.

The solid side of the Evangelical House facing the road and bathed in the light represented the basic truths of the message of salvation: faith in the resurrected Christ and salvation by grace. The part crumbling at the back in the darkness represented all its false traditions in its many branches - its antinomianism (lawlessness), 'once saved only saved' heresy, false Sunday Sabbath, false pagan traditions (like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.), compromises with statism, Catholic creeds, Replacement Theology, churchianity, and so on.

The solid side of the Messianic House facing the road and bathed in light represented the ancient truths of Torah-obedience required of those trusting fully in their Messiah, Yah'shua (Jesus) including observing the true seventh day Sabbath, the seven festivals of the Commonwealth of Israel, the lunar calendar, dietry rules, etc.. The part crumbling at the back in the darkness represented all its false traditions in its many branches - its anti-Christianity (failing to recognise the hand of Yahweh in Protestantism over the centuries), attachment to false Talmudic doctrine and customs (including false festivals like Hanukkah), belief that the Israeli Republic is the restoration of Biblical Israel (it isn't - it's a counterfeit), its kabbalistic occultism, its heresies concerning the deity of Messiah, its racism (viewing Jews as superior to other people, including Ephraim) and its failure to acknowledge that Joseph is the leader of Messianic Israel, not Judah, and so on.

Our goal is what lies beyond that mountain which is far greater than anything ever brought forth by evangelical Christianity or Messianism even though it contains the indispensible elements of both of these houses. Though these two houses are not the literal House of Ephraim and Judah, which are distinct tribal entities, they are certainly symbolic of their attitudes and behaviours, weaknesses and strengths. We represent the New Israel that will be and we are currently at the point of that road passing between the two houses to the One House of Josephite Messianic Israel. To the truths of these two traditions Yahweh has added yet more which he has restored through us and doubtless through some others. This is our vision. This is where we are going. And these things this webpage will explain to you.

There is always more light and truth flooding out of His Word and there are always people hungry for it as well as those determined to malign and destroy it by any means. If you're one of the former, we'd like to meet with you (but be prepared to encounter the writings of some of the latter along the way too). So we extend an invitation to join our public online discussion groups by clicking the image below:
