THE COUNCIL OF NAGYD
Covenant Governance for the Israelite Commonwealth
Why This Council Exists
Israelites are not lacking passion.
We are not lacking teachers.
We are not lacking voices.
What we have lacked — for generations — is order.
ICON-ELECT exists because Yah is restoring governance, not just awareness.
“For Yah is our judge, Yah is our lawgiver, Yah is our king; He will save us.”
— Isaiah 33:22
The Council of Nagyd exists to ensure that restoration does not descend into chaos, personality
cults, or unchecked authority.
This is governmental stewardship, not a platform.
What a Nagyd Is (And Is Not)
A Nagyd is not a celebrity.
Not a camp leader.
Not a motivational speaker.
Not a self-appointed elder.
In Scripture, a Nagyd is a governor entrusted with stewardship, accountable to Yah’s law and
to other governors — not to popularity or followers.
“Take ye wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them
rulers over you.”
— Deuteronomy 1:13
A Nagyd governs:
• By law, not emotion
• By discipline, not charisma
• By accountability, not dominance
Why There Is a Council — Not a Single Ruler
Yah never intended Israel to be ruled by one unchecked man.
Even Moses had elders.
Even David had counselors.
Even Yahoshua sent disciples two by two.
“In the multitude of counsellors there is safety.”
— Proverbs 11:14
The Council of Nagyd exists to:
• Prevent concentration of power
• Guard against abuse, drift, and corruption
• Ensure justice remains Torah-anchored
• Hold leadership accountable — including itself
This is protection for the people, not control over them.
The Current State of the Council
ICON-ELECT is in its foundational stage.
At this time:
• The Chief Steward serves as the Presiding Nagyd
• Additional Nagydim will be seated as Yah reveals qualified men
• No positions are filled by popularity, visibility, or seniority
“Despise not the day of small things.”
— Zechariah 4:10
Structure comes before numbers.
Order comes before expansion.
Law comes before growth.
The Role of the Chief Steward
The Chief Steward is not a king.
He is not infallible.
He is not immune from accountability.
He is the administrator of national order, charged with:
• Executing lawful governance
• Presiding over council process
• Safeguarding constitutional alignment
• Ensuring no department acts outside Torah bounds
“Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear Elohim, men of
truth…”
— Exodus 18:21
The Chief Steward does not rule alone.
Checks, review, and removal protocols are embedded by design.
How New Nagydim Will Be Added
Nagydim are not elected.
They are discerned.
Appointment requires:
• Proven obedience to Torah
• Demonstrated governance discipline
• Ability to rule without favoritism
• Willingness to be corrected
“Lay hands suddenly on no man.”
— 1 Timothy 5:22
No rushing.
No self-promotion.
No campaigns.
Why This Is Not a Democracy
Israel was never governed by popular vote.
Yah does not submit His law to opinion.
Truth is not determined by majority.
Righteousness is not crowdsourced.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
— Proverbs 14:12
ICON-ELECT rejects:
• Voting for truth
• Electing righteousness
• Following personalities
We submit to law, not consensus.
Why You May Feel Uncomfortable Reading This
If this feels unfamiliar — it should.
Modern systems teach:
• Popularity equals legitimacy
• Visibility equals authority
• Votes equal righteousness
Yah teaches the opposite.
ICON-ELECT exists to re-train Israel back into covenant order.
A Note on Visibility
At this stage, ICON-ELECT does not present leadership as personalities.
No headshots.
No branding of faces.
No elevation of image.
The focus remains on:
• Structure
• Law
• Responsibility
• Accountability
When the Council is fully seated, representation will follow uniform standards, not individual
prominence.
A Call — Not an Invitation
This is not a recruitment page.
This is not a membership pitch.
This is not a popularity movement.
Those who feel stirred should begin with:
• Citizenship alignment
• Covenant discipline
• Obedience, not ambition
“If a man desire the office of oversight, he desireth a good work.”
— 1 Timothy 3:1
Work comes before authority.
