Zealous for the restoration of God’s Family
Liz Healey is a Bible teacher and intercessor who has advocated for Israel and the Jewish people for more than twenty years. She loves visiting the Land of Israel to be among the people and to pray. She is passionate about sharing God’s love as a Father, especially for His firstborn son, Israel, and His desire for His whole family to be restored.
Liz finds great joy in searching and discovering the treasures in God’s Word. She taught at a Bible school for several years and currently enjoys teaching at various venues about patterns and connections between the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, and our faith journey. Outside of ministry, she loves spending time with family and friends, traveling off-the-beaten path to discover quaint small towns, and stopping at every bakery to find the world’s best cinnamon roll.

Oath of God comes from Elizabeth, which is Elisheva in Hebrew.
Eli means “my God” and sheva means “seven” or “oath/swear.” Biblically, seven often represents completion. When an oath is made, or someone swears to do something, it indicates the surety of its completion.
Elisheva = is most commonly defined as “My God of Oathing.”
The first time the Lord swears to accomplish something is after Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac. The promise was to bless Abraham and multiply his descendants. They will possess the gate of their enemies, and all the nations will be blessed through them.
Genesis 22:15-18 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son—blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
The first time the Lord references an “oath” is to Isaac, confirming He will keep the oath (referenced above) He made to Abraham (Gen. 26:2-5). The Lord makes other oaths, however, this foundational oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel is central to my first book, The Forgotten Son.
