Miqdash Bethel
MIQDASH BETHEL means: “The Sanctuary of the House of Yahweh,” Miqdash Bethel is a covenant-based assembly rooted in the Hebrew Tanakh, dedicated to pursuing peace among nations through the ancient wisdom of Yahweh, the Elohim of Yisra’el. We do not follow the narratives of governments, media, or political parties. We follow the Word of Yahweh. “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth… and this is the gate of heaven.” — Bereishit (Genesis) 28:12,17
WHO WE ARE
Miqdash Bethel was founded by Elder Kepha Arcemont of New Orleans, Louisiana — blues-rock musician, vocalist, covenant servant, and founding signatory to the Counsel of Peace. This work spans music, covenant study, prophetic commentary, and formal peace documents addressed to world leaders — grounded exclusively in the authority of the Hebrew Tanakh as the revealed Word of Yahweh.
WHAT WE DO
Miqdash Bethel operates at the intersection of scripture, music, and covenant truth-telling. Our work includes:
- Producing formal covenant peace letters to world leaders involved in the Israel-Iran-USA conflict
- Commentary and research on current events through the lens of Yahweh’s Word
- Music assembly through The Kepha Arcemont Experiment and Peace of Blues
- Engagement with the Counsel of Peace — a covenant-based governance assembly founded on the principles of Yahweh
OUR FOUNDATION
The covenant — the instruction of Yahweh — is a governmental rule and plan given to all of humanity by the Sovereign Creator. It belongs to no single man and no single assembly. Elder Kepha Arcemont makes no claim of greatness — only obedience. This Miqdash was not founded on human ambition but on a simple answer to a divine call: to gather in Yahweh’s name, to teach His covenant, and to seek His face. It is founded in the hope that Yahweh’s people — from every background and every nation — will find here a place to worship and serve Him, as He has always desired, for it is written:
“Now if you obey Me fully and keep My covenant, then out of all nations you will be My treasured possession. Although the whole earth is Mine, you will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” — Shemot (Exodus) 19:5-6
“Here is the conclusion of the matter: fear Elohim and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” — Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 12:13
And in the spirit of Yahweh’s promise to the Prophets of ancient times, we stand on this word:
“This is none other than Bethel; this is the gate of heaven. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you. How awesome is this place!” — Bereishit (Genesis) 28:12-15,17
“Let them construct a Miqdash for Me, that I may dwell among them.” — Shemot (Exodus) 25:8
“Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His Miqdash.” — Tehillim (Psalms) 96:6
What is Miqdash Bethel
WHAT IS MIQDASH BETHEL — AND HOW EVERY FAMILY CAN BECOME ONE
Miqdash Bethel means "The Sanctuary of the House of Yahweh." But it is not a building. It is not a denomination. It is not a membership organization with dues and bylaws. It is not the possession of any man or any institution. Miqdash Bethel is a covenant — a way of life grounded in the instructions of Yahweh as revealed in the Hebrew Tanakh.
And here is the truth that humbles us all: every family, in every nation, of every background and language, can become a Miqdash Bethel. The moment a household commits to living by the instructions of Yahweh — to pursuing justice, loving kindness, and walking in truth — that home becomes a sanctuary. That family becomes a house of Yahweh. No corporate temple required. No corporate priest required. No permission from any institution of men required. Just a covenant made between a family and their Creator. Yahweh does not require greatness. He requires faithfulness.
The world does not need more religion — it needs more covenant living. It does not need more politics — it needs more families who have decided that the instructions of Yahweh will govern their home: how they treat each other, how they raise their children, how they engage their neighbors, and how they pursue peace with those who are different from them. One family at a time. One covenant at a time. That is not our plan. That is Yahweh's design — older than any government, outlasting every empire, and still standing today.
When people one day choose rulers over them, the prayer of this assembly is that they will choose with the instruction of this ancient covenant in their hearts — not because we put it there, but because Yahweh did. That is what Miqdash Bethel is — not a movement built by men, but a door left open by Yahweh for any soul willing to walk through it. We are only the doorkeepers. The house belongs to Him.
"As for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh."— Yehoshua (Joshua) 24:15
This is the message of Yliyah (Elijah) the Prophet for the Last Days
The Torah, the instruction of Yahweh
THE INSTRUCTIONS OF YAHWEH — A COMPASS FOR ALL PEOPLE
The covenant of Yahweh as preserved in the Hebrew Tanakh was never designed for one nation, one race, or one era. It was designed for all of humanity — a divine moral compass that cuts through every barrier of culture, language, politics, and time. No person is excluded from its invitation. No nation is beyond its reach. Yahweh made this covenant wide enough for every human being willing to receive it — not because any assembly declared it so, but because He did.
When people live by these instructions, the result is not restriction but liberation — a life of genuine peace, purpose, and joy that no government, no ideology, and no amount of wealth can manufacture. We do not say this as a boast. We say it because the Tanakh has said it for thousands of years, and the evidence is in every generation that honored it and every generation that abandoned it.
The instructions of Yahweh are simple, they are ancient, and they work. The chaos the world experiences today — the wars, the corruption, the broken families, the fallen nations — is not evidence that the instructions failed. It is evidence that the world has not yet tried them. We are not the answer to that chaos. Yahweh is. This assembly exists only to point in His direction.
ONE MAN'S RESPONSE. ONE ETERNAL TRUTH.
Miqdash Bethel began with one man hearing a call he could not ignore. Elder Kepha Arcemont does not present himself as a prophet, a founder of a new religion, or an authority over any person. He is a covenant servant — a man who read the Word of Yahweh, believed it, and said yes. The assembly that has grown from that yes does not belong to him. It belongs to Yahweh.
He claims no answers of his own. He points only to what the Tanakh has always said — that Yahweh has the answers, that His covenant is the only road to lasting peace, and that the invitation is open to every human being willing to walk in it. True and lasting peace between all people, all nations, and all generations does not begin with this assembly. It begins the moment any human being returns to the instructions their Creator left behind. We are grateful to be part of that return.
Nothing more.
"He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does Yahweh require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your Elohim."— Mikhah (Micah) 6:8
