מִקְדַּשׁ בֵּית אֵל

Miqdash Bethel

The Sanctuary of the House of Yahweh

A covenant assembly rooted in the Hebrew Tanakh — pursuing peace among nations through the ancient wisdom of Yahweh, the Elohim of Yisra'el.

"And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth… this is none other than the house of Elohim, and this is the gate of heaven."

— Bereishit (Genesis) 28:12,17

Our Foundation

Who We Are

Miqdash Bethel means "The Sanctuary of the House of Yahweh." It is not a building. It is not a denomination. It is not a membership organization with dues and bylaws. Miqdash Bethel is a covenant — a way of life grounded in the instructions of Yahweh as revealed in the Hebrew Tanakh.

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.

"As for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh." — Yehoshua (Joshua) 24:15

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.

The Instruction of Yahweh

Our Foundation

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.

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. 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.

"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
"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
"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
"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

This is the message of Yliyah (Elijah) the Prophet for the Last Days
