Introduction to NCAY
Welcome to the Homepage of the New Covenant Assemblies of Yahweh (NCAY) (formerly called by two names, New Covenant Church of God (NCCG) and by its full Hebrew name, B'rit Chadashah Assembly of Yahweh (NCAY) which were later merged for simplicity). We hope that your exploration of this NCAY site will be a blessing to you and give you some deeper insights as to what our Heavenly Father, Yahweh, is doing in these last times prior to world tribulation and the second coming of Yah'shua (Jesus).
On 27 June 1984 a young man called Lev-Tsiyon haEfrayim (in English, 'Heart of Zion, the Ephraimite'), a descendant of the Israelite tribe of Ephraim, received an unexpected and unsought for revelation from Yahweh commanding him to begin a small fellowship in his home city in preparation for the long process of restoration and establishment of the Millennial Zion. The little congregation, first established in 1986, was known as the Restoration Christian Fellowship (RCF).
In 1988 he received another revelation commanding him to leave his homeland and relocate to the little Kingdom of Norway where Yahweh could continue His work. For nine years he toiled in that country, raising several small congregations, and all the while receiving hundreds of revelations, visions and prophecies which would eventually be collated into a book of 470 revelations called the OLIVE BRANCH that would be used to begin preparing Yahweh's people for the establishment of the first of twelve Zionic communities whose two-fold purpose would be to:
- (a) build international cities of refuge that would safely pass through the biblical 7 year tribulation, and
- (b) to restore, through revelation, the system of millennial, patriarchal theocratic government that will be implemented throughout the world when Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) returns to the earth.
The early RCF and its successor organisations were influenced by many false beliefs and traditions that were gradually extirpated over a seven year period (1988-96), in the process undergoing several name changes until Yahweh was satisfied and renamed the community the New Covenant Church of God (B'rit Chadashah Assembly of Yahweh). In 1997 He commanded a small remnant to relocate to Sweden and there establish the first proto-Firstborn Community called Kadesh-biyqah (the Hebrew for 'Holy City in the Valley') and prepare for international outreach and evangelism. The Olive Branch was also published in 1997 and may be ordered from this site.
NCAY is an evangelical, Hebraic-roots, Bible-believing and -implementing community that cooperates with the work of many other evangelical churches, messianic assemblies and ministries. We do not consider ourselves to be the 'one and only true church' as some do but believe we have an important mission and calling within the wider Body of Messiah. We admit to only one creed, the Apostoles' Creed.
Doctrinally we are Proto-Trinitarian, Luni-Solar Sabbatarian, Post-Tribulationist, Patriarchal, Prophetic, Sola Scripturan (Protestant Canon), apostolic, creationist, Messianic, pro-life, millenarian, Torah-observant etc., which you may read about in the many articles on this website.
