#what religion do 18% of israelis follow? can you answer that for me?

[beigale-shtuchim]

It always has to be you you you you you. Nobody suffers more than you, nobody can suffer other than you, you're the entire fucking center of the universe!! Nobody can talk about anything anymore without these people going "wah wah but gaza" shut the fuck up!!!!!!

I've actually seen people mention goddamn gaza under a grieving mother's post about the loss of her child!! Y'all are fucking deranged!!! Have you no shame??

Also literally nobody has been silent. These useless excuses for human beings have been cheering on terrorists and spreading blood libels for these whole 6 months, making the entire Jewish community feel unsafe and unwanted in spaces they used to be a part of.

Also, funny you're begging Europeans, the biggest colonizers of them all, to acknowledge you. But you don't like colonizers, do you?

And finally, if you really can't deal with the fact there are other problems and injustices in the world and that people aren't dedicating every inch of their mind to you, you might have a bit of a problem. Nobody owes you anything. Let people speak about what they care about and stop policing literally everything.

In regards to one of your recent posts about freeing Palestine, may I offer the following information:

-The Peel Commission investigated a one-state solution and came to the conclusion it is not feasible

-Hamas's mission is not only "river to sea" but also to kill every Jew and Israeli

-Statements about Jews being colonisers often do not take into account ancient origins (for which there is plenty of evidence) as well as the presence of numerous Jewish villages before Israel became a state. Many Jewish families have been a part of what we now call Israel for thousands of years. Judaism is one of the most ancient religions to exist, and that area has always been considered the homeland — making it a favourable location

I would also like to mention that since the elections in Gaza in 2005 or 2006 (I fail to remember off the top of my head), there has been no more voting. Once the Hamas was elected approximately 18 years ago, they became the sole possible governing power in Gaza. Hamas is also classified as a terrorist organisation by a considerable amount of countries, not all of which support Israel. That's really important to mention when discussing Palestinian liberation.

This is intended to be a civil ask. I simply wanted to offer some more information + another take on things. I would deeply appreciate a response

hi i'll do the best i can to answer these but i wont have all these answers and if anyone else has things to add on please do

I looked up the Peel Commission and according to Wikipedia it was a "British Royal Commission of Inquiry", which is the first red flag on the list for me. The Peel Commission occurred in 1936, before the Nakba, but it was part of Britain's colonial project in the region ("Mandatory Palestine" was around from 1920-1948). I find it hard to respect a British "commission of inquiry" when Palestinians were being subjected to colonization seeing as how it was between the colonial entity and the people it wanted to subjugate. Furthermore, the fact that it seems the Peel Commission introduced recommended a "partition plan." Partition is just a nicer word, in modern times as we know it, as segregation. The "separate but equal" slogan that is used to justify segregation has never, ever once worked or ever benefited anyone, least of all the people who are subjugated to the legalities and practices of segregation. And consider this as well:

According to Benny Morris, Ben-Gurion and Weizmann saw [the resoultion] "as a stepping stone to some further expansion and the eventual takeover of the whole of Palestine".

Anyway, I don't think one ruling from the 1930s during Britain's colonial subjugation of Palestine should be the defining judgement of a state solution and considering how much things have changed (have worsened for the Palestinians, and, yes, Israelis as well) they have time and time again said that a one state solution under a secular government under which all peoples are equal is the only real pathway to peace.

Hamas presented a new charter in 2017, citing the following:

The new document states the Islamist movement it is not seeking war with the Jewish people – only with Zionism that drives the occupation of Palestine.

@/bloglikeanegyptian illustrated the difference between the Hamas charter and recent statements from Israeli in government and military about Palestinians here, when they dehumanized the Palestinians entirely in order to justify the ongoing genocide happening now. Furthermore, despite what their propaganda would have you believe, Israel rejected peace with Hamas on 5 different occasion.

Not all countries designate Hamas as a terrorist organization (see the section titled 'Terrorist designation'). The designation of "terrorist" is purely a political one. An example I can give you is one from the United States: U.S. forces trained the Mujahideen - which would lead to the creation of the Taliban - in order to fight communist forces; they were initially designated "freedom fighters" when they were serving U.S. interests [see here].

(Also it should be noted that the ANC, IRA, and Algerian resistance forces were also designated as terrorists, to name a few.)

See Zachary Foster's thread on the history of Hamas with regards to how the Israeli state funded them and how they came to be the group they are today.

This is not me saying that those people should have been killed. This is not me saying that they deserved it. No one deserves that. But violence of Oct. 7th must be contextualized within the broader history of the colonization of Palestine, and the fact that Palestinians have been subjugated to that very violence for decades. Colonialism and apartheid are inherently violent. Colonialism and apartheid dehumanize, brutalize, demoralize, and ultimately murder those being colonized: i.e., in this case the Palestinians. As others have said: when you imprison a people in the world's largest concentration camp, when you strip them of their rights and humiliate them and brutalize them and make them second class citizens in their own country and don't allow them to leave and if they are they are not allowed to return - they are going to lash out. When they do nothing, they are murdered, brutalized, and imprisoned. When they protest peacefully - (see the March of Return) - they are assassinated and maimed by IOF soldiers who laugh as they murder children and the disabled. The Palestinian people have exhausted literally every other option; the Israeli state is ultimately responsible for their turn to violence as a means of liberation.

It is understood in post-apartheid South Africa that the innocent people who were killed should not have died - but that the violence committed by the oppressed is the fault of the apartheid state. Violence begets violence. What happened on Oct. 7th was blowback - it was inevitable, and the Israeli state knew that, and they didn't care (and they still don't care about the safety of Jewish people, they don't care about their citizens; it took them 2 days to retake towns in the south because they immediately started bombing Gaza - and in their bombing will murder their own citizens who they use as a means to commit genocide, but there are more recent posts about that elsewhere).

Under International Law, Palestinians have the right to armed struggle. The Israeli state is responsible for every single death; the Israeli state - as the colonial entity, as the occupying force, backed by other colonial giants such as the U.S. and Britan - is responsible for every single person killed, both Palestinian and Israeli.

One thing that people who talk about the 2 state solution never bring up is the West Bank. The West Bank is not under Hamas control; there is no Hamas. The West Bank is supposed to the "collaborative project" with the Israeli state - i.e., the 2 state solution in practice. The reality is that the 2 state solution is an abject failure. Why? Because even though legally land in the West Bank belongs to Palestinians, settlers come and illegally occupy it. Homes are either literally taken or bulldozed from Palestinians; the IOF protects these settlers, who have gotten away with killing and harassing Palestinians for years. (Read more about Israel being a settler colony here; I have a variety of resources to learn from regarding these subjects posted here). Settlers get away with - under the protection of the occupying force, therefore with the blessing of the state - illegally occupying Palestinian land.

There may have been a point where a 2 state solution was possible. But, at this point, unless the apartheid was completely reversed, Palestinian right to determination was not only recognized but enforced, etc., it can't happen. Not when the state has been slowly but surely encroaching on and stealing Palestinian land for years. The only pathway to peace - real pace - is a 1 state solution, detailed in Dispatches from Gaza:

MZ: Unlike what they’ve been told, we’ve never had a problem with Jews. Jews have been part of the fabric of our society way before the establishment of Israel. In fact, Jews escaping European persecution found refuge in Palestine. Gaza had a Jewish quarter. They were living peacefully, not with Arabs but as Arabs, right up until 1948. The establishment of Israel didn’t protect Jews; it caused the divide and danger. The solution is to roll back and dismantle the colony. My message to the colonizers who left their home countries to occupy our lands is simply to go back home. As for those who were born here, my message is: You are secondary victims of this colonial project. You are being used to occupy other people’s lands, and your Jewishness is being politicized for colonial means. Meditate carefully on the examples of South Africa, Angola, Algeria—they may not apply wholesale to the settler colonization of Palestine, but they hold lessons for you. Today you must make a choice: Either support this deadly colonial project, or side against it by supporting the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of a democratic state that liberates Palestinians, as well as Jews, from Zionism. A state that will honor the right of Palestinian refugees to return and compensation and that will welcome and protect its Jews as citizens of Palestine. This transition from Zionism to democracy will not cost anyone’s life; it will cost you your colonial privileges, and will free you—and us, its primary victims—from colonialism.

See above point in regards to Jewish people living in historic Palestine before the creation of the Israeli state.

I need to reiterate what others have said and make it very clear: the problem with the Israeli state is that it was publicly acknowledged as a colonial project and then marketed as an empty land for people to settle in. The problem is that there were already people there when both the British colonized Palestine and when the Zionist state was created. Palestinians - Muslim, Jewish, and Christian - were already there. The Zionist state was not. The formation of the state is built on the massacres and expulsions of Palestinians from their lands.

Regarding the election: you can read about it here. It shouldn't come as a surprise to learn that the United States meddled here, too. The summary is this, as I understand it: the United States wanted there to be an election; they backed Fatah, the secular party that was Hamas' opposition. Fatah repeatedly told the U.S. that they weren't ready for it but the U.S. ignored it and Hamas, having run on an anti-corruption campaign, won (by a small margin). Then the U.S. tried to pull a coup on Hamas, which was unsuccessful, after which Hamas took full power. (Again, see Zachary Foster's thread for the history of Hamas).

Again, as many others have said: a 1 state solution under a secular government under which all peoples are equal and are allowed to live freely both under the law and in practice. I'm compelled to quote Mohammed Zraiy again:

This transition from Zionism to democracy will not cost anyone’s life; it will cost you your colonial privileges, and will free you—and us, its primary victims—from colonialism.

+ I recommend visiting Decolonize Palestine where myths and propaganda is addressed.

Contempt For the Other

In 2016, Bishop William Willimon published a book entitled, Fear of the Other. It was a commentary and warning about the sectarian, tribal and racial violence and vitriolic rhetoric used by political, social, and religious leaders only seven short years ago.

Sunday morning, I pulled his book off my shelf. Immediately I thought how outdated that title seems. Almost as immediately I thought of an updated title: Contempt for the Other.

That is where I think we have come since 2016. The seeds of fear that were sown just a decade or so ago, have grown into contempt.

We hear it, see it and read it every day in the contempt that some Republicans have for Democrats. We hear it, see it and read it in the contempt that some Democrats have for Republicans.

We see it and hear it in the contempt that some who have joined the Global Methodist Church have for the United Methodist Church in general, and United Methodists in particular. We see it and hear it in the contempt for some who have remained United Methodist have for the Global Methodist Church and members of the Global Methodist Church.

We see it between and among religions and denominations. We see in acts of racial, political, social, homophobic and religious violence. We have seen contempt for the other is almost every facet of American life today.

We are seeing it now between Palestinians and Jews both in the Middle East and here in America.

Let’s not pretend for a minute that the issues of the current war between Israel and Hamas are simple. They are as complex as they are old and deeply-rooted. Neither side can claim any kind of innocence.

The seeds of fear reap a harvest of contempt.

When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment, Jesus quoted two verses from the Torah – Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.

So, I ask, how does the current war between the Israelis and Palestinians reflect God’s commandment to love our neighbor? How do the violence of our actions and words – the ones we say and the ones we write on social media – reflect love for our neighbor?

How does bickering, fighting, oppressing, bullying, demanding your own way, and other forms of violence against each other reflect the love that God commanded us to give to our neighbor?

The Apostle Paul gave a great definition of the love that God gives to us, and that God has commanded us to give to our neighbor. You will find it in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.  

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

I read that passage just last weekend at the wedding of a young woman who was in our youth group at another church. I read that passage at most weddings. It is a good passage for weddings, but it was not meant to be read at a wedding. It was meant to define and clarify what mature, Godly, love looks like to those who follow Jesus Christ.

What strikes me is that the contempt we are showing to our neighbor is the exact opposite of love as described by Paul in this passage.

John, in his first letter in the New Testament, indicts all who show contempt to their neighbor: “Those who say, ‘I love God,’ and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” (1 John 4:20)

If fear are the seeds that lead us to practice contempt for our neighbor, then the answer to fear is found in only one thing – love. “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18)

I am not asking you to have warm, fuzzy feelings for your neighbor. I am not asking you to agree with your neighbor. I am asking you to cultivate an attitude of wishing your neighbor what you wish for yourself. That is, at least, a start to loving our neighbor.

Our love is certainly not perfect – not by a long shot. But, perhaps just practicing a little bit of love at a time, we can stop the growth of contempt?

With you on the journey,

THE GOAL OF ZIONISM

THE GOAL OF ZIONISM

“Is To Destroy White Christian Civilization”

Do you really believe your Bible?

Jesus warned that the world would succumb to a one world dictator and that the entire world would follow after this Jewish “superman” leader known as the Anti-Christ. Many have asked how it is possible. How can mankind be so deceived?

Let me refer you to a document written by Lt. Col. Jack Mohr, US Army Ret. that well answers this question. It is so simple but so many Christians simply do not believe what the Scriptures teach. Do you really believe your Bible?

“Zionism, the political arm of Jewry, has openly declared their intention of destroying White Christian civilization, and to bring the world into the New World Order.”

“Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.” 1Cor. 10:32

A strange disagreement exists today between modern prophetic students and the people we know as Jews. The Futurist prophetic preachers of Judeo-Christian Fundamentalism affirm that the people we now know as Jews are “all of Israel”! And that they represented the twelve Israel tribes at the time Christ walked this earth, and are their descendants today, to whom, the land of Palestine was given by direct Divine mandate from Almighty God.

The Jewish leaders deny this, and have stated in the Jewish Encyclopedia that the Tribe of Judah, from which the Jewish people are supposed to have descended, is not an Israelite tribe. They claim that they are direct descendants of Judah, and Levi, with a few from the Tribe of Benjamin. The purpose of this message is to show you that Scriptural and historical facts refute both these premises. Why is this of such importance? Because Zionism, the political arm of Jewry, has openly declared their intention of destroying White Christian civilization, and bring the world into the New World Order, under the absolute control of World Jewry and Antichrist.

Their holy book, the Babylon Talmud, which their leaders say is the life blood of Jewry, puts it in perspective: "When our Messiah comes, every Jew will have 2,000 “goyim”, now-Jew slaves." (The word goyim is a Yiddish term of contempt referring to non-human animals.) The Babylonian Talmud is the single most important writings of the Jewish religion and consists on the writings of Jewish rabbis from about 500 BC when it was begun in Babylon to a thousand years later, when it was completed in the Jewish Seminary in Alexandria, Egypt. It contains the arguments and counter arguments of the Jewish rabbis from this period. In this huge writing of 63 volumes, the Jewish rabbis refute the teachings of the Mosaic Pentateuch, and much of what was written by the Israelite prophets, causing Jesus to ask them in Matthew 15:3

"Why do ye transgress the commandments of God by your traditions?" In verse eight and nine of this same chapter He said: "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me (God), teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

Do You Really Believe the Bible?

Most Judeo-Christians believe that the Jewish people follow the teachings of Moses, but Jesus exploded this fallacy in John 5:45-47 when He told the Jewish leaders: "Do not think that I accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye (say) trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"

The purpose of this article is to determine if you really believe the Word of God, or have you become, as so many professing Christians have, a believer in the teachings of some pastor, rather than in God's Word? We will use the Bible as our Guide Book and Judge. The best illustration of this that I can think of is found in John 10:26. Ask any Judeo Christian who believes the Jews are God's Chosen people, if they love Jesus and believe His Word, and they are apt to get angry. Yet in this verse He plainly tells the Jewish leaders: "But ye (Jews) believe me not; because ye are not of my sheep!" So the evidence of God's Word proves that they will accept the teachings of a man over that of their Saviour, and that they really don't believe God's Word. Harsh but proven true! There are many other Scriptures, which testify to this truth. Matthew 23:15

In John 8:32 Jesus tells the Pharisees: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The haughty Pharisees replied in verse 33 "… We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, ye shall be free?"

Here the Jewish leaders admit to a serious situation that has caused the controversy in the Christian world. They admitted that while they were of Abraham's bloodline, they were not Israelites, for any Sunday school student knows that Israelites were in bondage in Egypt and again in Assyria. Why is it that the Bible scholars and pastors who say the Jews are all of Israel, refuse to admit that they were not even a part of it? The answer comes squarely from the mouths of those they claim are Israel: "We were never slaves to anyone!" What does this mean? If they were of the bloodline of Abraham, as they claim, and we have no reason to doubt them, they could only have been so related through Abraham's son, Esau/Edom. To see what God thought of them, read Malachi 1:2-4, where God, speaking through the prophet Malachi says of them: "I have loved you (Israel) saith the Lord. Yet ye say, wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? Saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste (desolate) ... Whereas Edom saith, we are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they (true Israel) shall call them (the Jews), The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation (anger) forever." Hardly the picture painted by the Zionist apologists, such as Van Impe and Robertson.

Jesus did not rebuke them when they claimed relationship with Abraham, instead in John 8:37 He tells them: "I know ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my Word hath no place in you."

Who then are these imposters? They are in part Edomites of the lineage of Esau, who God says he hated. Why? It was because Esau despised his birthright, and sold it to his brother Jacob for a mess of beans and rice. In Heb. 12:16 we read that Esau was a fornicator. (The Greek word used here is pornos, meaning: "a prostitute; to sell one’s self; a libertine; a whoremonger"). This passage says: "who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For we know how that afterwards, when he would have received the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears." It's no light thing to turn ones back on our birthright, and heritage, yet it is being done daily by millions of professing Christians in the Judeo-Christian world. Some of you who read these words will no doubt react with shock and possibly with anger. Yet the Scripture plainly tells us in Romans 9:13 - "Jacob have I loved; Esau have I hated. (God speaking)."

The entire book of Obadiah, affirms God's hatred for Esau. In Obadiah verse 10 speaking to Edom, it says: "For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever." Verse 18 "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it."

This seems mighty plain to me. Faced with Scripture such as these, how can pastors honestly insist that the Jews are God's Chosen?

Another interesting thing about modern Jewry is that very few of them can trace their bloodline back to Abraham. They belong to those our risen Lord mentions in Revelation 2:9; 3:9, as "They who say they are Jews (Judeans), and are not; but are of the synagogue (meeting house) of Satan." Jewish authorities openly admit, that at least 90% of those who call themselves Jews, have no blood connection with Abraham, but come from a Turco- Mongolian background, with their forefathers never having set foot in Palestine. They are known as Ashkenazi Jews. Every Prime Minister of the State of Israeli has come from this heathen background. These people were adopted into Jewry in the 8th Century AD when their ruler declared them to be Jews. At this time they were known as Khazars. (For historical confirmation see Koestler's well-documented book "The Thirteenth Tribe.")

The Fundamentalists claim that when the Assyrian and Babylonian captivity of Israel, and much of Judah, took place, the Israelites from the Northern ten tribes became lost in history and have never been traced, while Judah, became the Jews of the New Testament and modern times. In this they are partially correct. The Jews who had settled in Babylon after their captivity, intermingled the Hebrew religion with the occult practices of Babylon, and a few of them returned to Palestine with a new religion know as Judaism and a Holy Book known as the Babylonian Talmud, which was not the Hebrew religion taught by Moses and the prophets, but was the traditions of the rabbis, that Jesus constantly fought against Matthew 15:9.

It is extremely important for you to know what happened to these captive Israelites, since all prophetic teachings concerning Israel hinges on this question.

If the modern Jews represent all Twelve Tribes, then there are many Bible prophecies, which are still unfulfilled. Because of this, the Futurist preachers teach that these prophesy will be fulfilled sometime in the future, during the millennial reign of Christ, for they have never been fulfilled to the present day. If on the other hand, the people we now call Jews are not the Chosen of God and all of Israel, but are the pseudo-Jews of Revelation chapter 2, then what became of the ten Northern tribes of Israel who were taken into Assyrian captivity? Are Bible prophecies being fulfilled in them now, or have they disappeared for all time as the Futurists say?

What are these prophesies and how do they affect present day world conditions? If the Jews are not all of Israel, or not Israel at all, then how did true Israel receive the Gospel of the Kingdom, as promised? Is there Scriptural evidence which shows that Israel still exists, and must be considered separate from Jewry?

The Ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom, along with most of Judah, never returned from their captivity because when the Assyrians, carried them away foreign people from other areas replaced them. 2 Kings 17:24 tells us: "And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cu'thah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharv'im (all foreigners), and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof" They became known as Samaritans, and in Jesus' time were looked down on by the Judahites who considered them as mere animals.

The house of Judah, in the south, from which a tiny portion of today's Jews sprang, did not want the Northern Israelites in their area, since they had been quarreling and fighting with them from 975 BC until 721 BC. When one or the other could not win, they would become allies with Assyria, Babylon, or Egypt. On several occasions, they even sided with each other 2 Chronicles 18:3. I sincerely doubt this ill feeling would have been healed, without the Scriptures mentioning it, and there is no hint of reconciliation. In fact we hear the Judeans speaking to their Israelite brethren in Ezekiel 11:15 ". . . all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, “Get you far from the Lord unto us is the land given in possession.” Do you really believe Judah would have reversed this nasty attitude towards Israel, without Scriptures mentioning it?

If the Ten Tribes had returned to Palestine, they would have broken God's Law concerning inheritance given in Numbers 36:7-9. Summed up in a few words, this said: "Every tribe shall keep to its own inheritance," and Israel had no inheritance in Judah. They had no right to settle in any lands other than those, which had been given to them by God, when the land of Canaan had been divided among the twelve tribes.

The Jewish nation began, after a relatively few Judeans returned to Palestine from Babylon about 42,360 according to Ezra 2:64, with a few more returning later in 446 BC under Nehemiah.

A close examination of the Scriptures will show that although Bible scholars often consider Benjamites as Jews, they did not live with the Jews, but lived in Galilee of the Gentile tribes.

The word Gentile in the Greek is ethnos and refers to a tribe or nation, almost always non-Jewish. Christ's disciples with the exception of the traitor Judas Iscariot came from Galilee of the Gentiles. The Apostle Paul, while a Jew by religion, until his Damascus road conversion, was a Benjamites by bloodline and not a Jew. While the Bible translators have confused this in some instances, such as Romans 3:1-2 where it says (KJV): "What advantage then hath the Jew? Or what profit is there in circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because unto them were committed the oracles of God." Twelve hundred years before any Jews appeared on the historical scene.

In Romans 9:2-4 Paul clarifies this somewhat when he says: "That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accused from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;" Nowhere in Scripture will you find where these were ever given to people called Jews.

He clarifies his position in Romans 11:1 "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin." Again in Philippians 3:5 he says: "Circumcised the eighth day of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, and Hebrew of the Hebrews: as touching the law, a Pharisee." So if anyone tells you that Apostle Paul was a Jew, here is evidence to the contrary from his own lips. When we consider the Twelve tribes of Israel, rank must be considered, since Jacob himself, in his final end time prophesies, as recorded in Genesis 48 & 49, gave them this rank. The birthright, or material blessings, was given to Joseph and his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, who were to be the birthright tribes. The scepter or the kings were always to come from the tribe of Judah. Both Scriptures and history verifies this since the Davidic line of kings, and our Lord Himself, who is become the King of kings, came from Judah. Because the right of rulership was always to come from Judah, the genealogical tables are recorded so as to show the line of the Messiah. The line of Joseph is not shown.

Although Reuben was Jacob's oldest son and would normally have received the birthright blessing, it was withheld from him because of his sin 1 Chronicles 5:1-2, 5 and was given to Joseph and his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were legally adopted by Jacob Genesis 48:16.

There was no way the ten tribes could return under the Tribe of Judah, without despising their birthright, and changing the prophetic plan as prophesied by Jacob in Genesis 49. When the division of the Kingdom took place, on the death of King Solomon, it was Ephraim who assumed leadership, when Solomon's son Rehoboam was rejected and the split between Israel and Judah took place as prophesied by Hosea, Jeremiah and other of the prophets. These prophecies were addressed to Ephraim/Israel Hosea chapter 2 & 14.

When the Judeans returned from Babylon, only the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi are mentioned in Ezra 1:5. Since no other tribes are mentioned, we know they were none of them in Babylonian captivity. If the statement by the fundamentalists that the Jews are all of Israel, were true, then what became of God's promise that Israel would never cease to be a nation and would always have a king from the Davidic line, ruling over them?

In Genesis 17:7 we read: "And I (God) will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."

The seed of Abraham were to become not only a great multitude of people, like the stars of the heavens, in number, but a great nation and a Commonwealth of Nations Genesis 12:3. The people we know as Jews have never qualified as to this great number, to being a great nation and a commonwealth of nations. So we know they are not of Israel. As close study of Scripture shows that Israel did not return from Assyrian captivity for the following reasons:

1. They could not regain the land, which had been given to their forefathers by God.

2. The inhabitants of Jerusalem had ordered the house of Israel away from God.

3. The birthright tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh could not despise their birthright by returning to Palestine under Judah.

The claim by some Bible, scholars that Israel went south from Assyria and joined Judah in Babylonian captivity is contrary to Scriptural records. Honest historians and ethnologists (the science which deals with origin, distribution, origin and distinguishing characteristics of races), know that throughout the centuries that followed, Judah, under other names such as Jute followed Israel over northern and Western Europe and the British Isles and became reunited with them. Contrary to all other migrations which went east and south, that Israel was north and west. Some believe that the Jews who returned to Palestine are of the tribe of Judah, but historical research, backed by Jewish historians themselves, shows these people to be mostly Turco-Mongolians Khazars from Eastern Europe.

The Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones, in Ezekiel 37, shows the future of the reunited house of Israel:

1.) God's people will be brought back from the heathen nations.

2.) God will open the graves and cause them to come into the land of Israel. (Notice nothing is said about this being Old Palestine.) I believe it will be the new land that was promised to King David in 2 Samuel 7:10. The wording indicates it will be the future, in a place other than Palestine. I believe we are living in part of this new land now, the United States and Canada. In Ezekiel 37:14, we are told by the prophet: "And I shall put my Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: (again no hint that this is Old Palestine) and then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken and performed it."

When this happens, Israel is to be an exceeding great army and any discerning Bible scholar surely can see that the return of less than 50,000 Judeans from Babylon to Palestine, with their new religion of Judaism, cannot be part or all of true Israel. In like manner, the less than 22 million Jews who exist today cannot qualify as numbering as the sands of the sea, or the stars in the heavens.

As a nation, God divorced Israel in Hosea 1:6 - ". . . for I (God) will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away." In verse nine of the same chapter, God continues: ". . . for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God." Yet a strange thing takes place in verse ten, "Yet the number of the children of Israel (the divorced ones) shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not people (the Jews, and Judeo-Christians call us Gentiles), there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God (Christians)." Verse eleven - "Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head (Jesus Christ), and they shall come up out of the land:"

Divorced Israel was divorced for their apostasy, and cannot return until God makes this possible. Isaiah 50:1 says: "Thus saith the Lord, `Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I (God) have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away." Then in Jeremiah 31:31-34, we read: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel; and the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the days I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them saith the Lord: But this shall be the covenant I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." This is what we are longing and working for.

In this same passage in Hosea, the prophet refers to the fact that these people whom God has divorced, and who are said, "ye are not my people," are still referred to as the "sons of the living God." Isn't that what has happened to Israel? They are now known as Gentiles. They have lost their identity as Israel, yet God says of them: "Ye are my sons!" Only the White nations of Christendom can qualify here. The people we know as Jews have never lost their identity. They say, "We are God's Chosen!" But God says: "Only those of you who believe on my Son, Jesus, are my people, the rest of you are antichrists!" (See 1 John 4:3)

"Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of anti-Christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world."

There is only one way an Israelite or a heathen can become a "son of God", and that is through the new birth of John 1:12 and John 3:3. Being White or an Israelite does not qualify you as a son. This is why Jesus told Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again, from above!"

In the place where God's people would assemble in the last days, they would not be known as "God's people, called by His name", since a usurper had stolen this title. They would be known as Gentiles. Yet when they accepted Christ as their Saviour and King, they would automatically and rightfully be referred to as Christians, "sons of the living God."

Israel is destined to accept Christ, not only on a personal basis, but also as a nation, and hence the White nations are referred to as Christendom. It is interesting to note, that only the White nations of the world have openly accepted Christianity and the Christian religion. The colored have only been reached with a great deal of effort, at much expense and often danger to the messengers. Christendom has also supplied 98% of all the Christian literature published, and the same amount to missionary efforts and in times of disaster provides most of the rescue efforts. All these things and many more are fingerprints that identify us a true Israel. You will find a few of those attributes among the people known as Jews.

When Israel comes back to their new land that they will never leave, Amos 9:15, tells us - "I (God) will plant them upon the land, and they shall no more be pulled out of the land which I have given them."

Do You Really Believe?

The Jews leave Russia for Palestine, but Jewish records show that more of them leave for the Promised Land of America, and their immediate welfare benefits, than those who stay. In 1985, for instance, Jewish immigration records show that 12,000 more Jews left the mini-state in Palestine, for America than those who remained in Palestine. Those who have become immigrants to America have become the thorns in our sides, and pricks in our eyes, the prophets said would happen if we allowed them into our country. We have seen the fulfillment of the prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:43, 44, which says: "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail."

Any intelligent person can see how this has happened. When Jesus was on this earth, the Edomite King Herod ruled over the Jews. He was not of the Davidic line and was not an Israelite.

When Jesus first arrived on the public scene in Palestine at the age of 30, He knew that he came from the Davidic line, and that His mission was to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (See Matthew 10:6; 15:24)

Your Judeo-Christian pastors will no doubt tell you that these lost sheep were unsaved Jews, but this is not the case, since the English word lost, as used here, comes from the Greek word appolumi, which refers to: "Those who were sent into exile as punishment for their disobedience." This never happened to the Jews.

In John 10, Jesus discusses these lost Israelite sheep, and their need for a shepherd. He uses an example the common people understood, the shepherd and his flock. In verse four He explains how His sheep follow Him, because they know his voice and will not follow a stranger. This is characteristic of sheep.

Then turning to the Jewish leaders He clearly tells them in verse twenty-six - "But ye (Jews) believe not, because ye are not of my sheep." (Emphasis my) How could this be made any clearer before you believe?

Jesus then goes on to explain in verses twenty-seven & twenty-eight - "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give unto them eternal life, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." In verse twenty-nine He says: "My Father gave them, to me."

You can find no Scripture reference which tells you that the Jews were lost in the same sense as the Israelites. In no place does Jesus call the Jews, the children of God, while in at least one place, John 8:44, he said to them:

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." (Hardly Chosen People material is it?) In Matthew 23:15 he gives a second witness against the Jews. In case you refuse to believe the first. He accuses their religious leaders, calling them hypocrites who "go over the land and sea to make converts, only to turn them into two-fold more children of hell than themselves."

Remember, these are not my words, they come from the mouth of the man you call your Savior.

To understand this Shepherd Chapter, you will need to study Ezekiel 34. In verse six God speaking says: "My (Israel) sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them."

Then in verse eleven, God says: ". . . Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out." Here again He used the example of sheep and shepherd, and promises in verse thirteen to bring them out of the lands where they have been scattered and "feed them in Israel by the rivers." (Here is another good reason I know this will not take place in old Palestine, for the only river of any size in that land is the Jordan, and this promise says rivers plural.)

In the new Israel, besides the many rivers of America, God will finally give peace, prosperity, and safety to His people. When Israel, which is God's people, that are called by His name, Christian, will finally wake up to who we are, and realize what our heritage is, then will we turn from our wicked ways, and God will hear from heaven, as He has promised and will forgive your sins, and will heal our land. This is the only Formula for Our Survival, which will work.

Over and over again in Scripture Jesus Christ referrers to Himself as the good shepherd. In John 10:11 he says: "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." Then in the next few verses, verse twelve - "But he that is a hireling (Greek - misthotos - meaning: "a wage worker, good or bad" I'd say a false pastor), and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep, and Fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them (and devours them, for this is what a wolf does), and scattereth the sheep. Verse thirteen - The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. Verse fourteen - I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."

In Isaiah 51:1, 2 we are shown the value of our heritage, as the prophet admonishes us to "Hearken unto me, ye that follow righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock from whence ye were hewn and to the hole of the pit from whence were digged. Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sara that bare you: for I (God) called him alone and blessed him and increased him." (See also Amos 3:2 - God speaking) - "You (Israel) only have I known of all the families of the earth."

When Israel learns to obey, then the promise of Ezekiel 34:25 will come to pass - "I (God) will make with them a covenant of peace, and they dwell safely in the wilderness and in the woods." Verse twenty-seven - "And the trees of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, an they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them (the International Jewish Bankers, who hold this Israel nation in several trillion dollars of debt, which can never be paid off and White Christian America in particular has become a slave to the Jewish slave masters. All in accordance of what God said would happen if we disobeyed Him.) Verse twenty-eight - . . . neither shall the beast of the field (Hebrew - chay - meaning: "a living creature that God created - that could walk upright like a man, talk and reason like a man, repent of evil deeds, had hands and feet and wore clothes like a man." Most certainly not an ape See Jonah 3:7-10, as an example), devour them and none shall make them afraid."

An interesting lesson can be found in a study of crime statistics. According to the FBI, Blacks who make up less than 20% of our national population committed 2/3rds of all the violent crimes. Could these be the wild beasts mentioned here and elsewhere?

Then thank God for the ultimate reward that will come when Israel turns to obedience of God, verse thirty-one - "And ye, my flock (Hebrew - t'oun - meaning: "a flock of men, used figuratively"), the flock of my pastures, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God."

(The word man as used here is the Hebrew word au'daum, which means: "to show blood in the face; be capable of blushing, a characteristic only of the White race.)

The Jewish rabbis in the Talmud, who insist they are God's Chosen, says this indicates that only Jews are men, and that the rest of us are goyim, a term of Yiddish contempt, meaning non-Jew animal.

Now can you understand Jesus' words, in John 10:11, when He said: "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep." And that is what He did. You will find no record anywhere, of a Jew ever doing anything like this. They are a very self-centered people, who seldom do anything nice for anyone that does not bring them adequate reward.

This is one of the major areas where they differ from Christianity.

Knowing this you can better understand Christ's words in John 10:11, where He said, "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." Then in John 10:26, to show the difference between His Israel sheep, and the people called Jews, He told their leaders: "Ye believe me not; because ye are not of my sheep." (How much plainer could He be?)

When Zacharias held the infant Jesus in His arms in Luke 1:68, he prophesied: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for He hath visited and redeemed His people ..." Verse seventy-one - "That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us." (Would you say that a people who state: "We will destroy your White Christian civilization are our enemies?)

Have you ever wondered why Jesus, in Matthew 10:5, told His disciples: "Go not into the way of the Gentiles (Greek - ethnos - meaning: "tribes; nations, in this case heathen), and into any city of the Samaritans (the people who replaced Israel when they went into captivity) enter ye not. But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. "

He somewhat clarifies this in Matthew 10:23, when He tells His Israelite followers: "But when they persecute you in this city, flee not into another: for verily I say unto you, ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come." Israel was to become so large and within a hundred years of Christ's death and resurrection it had already covered northern and western Europe and the British Isles. It had become so large, that it would take until the time of Christ's return for His followers to cover it. If this verse had referred to Palestine at the time of Christ, it cities could have been covered in weeks. Here we see Jesus unfolding an age-old program for the expansion of His kingdom, and His orders still remain, "Occupy until I come!" It is a glorious program for the evangelization of the world, until He comes back in triumph to rule and reign, as King of kings, and Lord of lords. This indicates a kingdom of righteous triumph over evil, where one must go beyond the born again stage, to become, and over comer for Him. (See Revelation 3:21) Granted, this change of life must begin with being born of the Spirit, but this is just the beginning of the Christian experience, and we must not rest on our eternal security, but go on to become triumphant.

In spite of Christ's clear admonition to "go to the lost sheep of Israel, our major missionary efforts have been to the dark heathen nations of the world. These have been reached only with great effort, the expenditure of vast sums of money, and often danger to the missionary.

Talk with most any missionary who have worked with the heathens in Africa, and they will tell you about the fine Christian churches they have built, and how they have even trained native pastors in their own seminaries. Then political upheaval takes place and they are forced to leave. They come back a few years later to find their church still in operation, but with the local witch doctor as pastor. They still sing the old Gospel hymns, but their worship has become so intermixed with the occult of heathendom that it cannot be recognized as Christian. This has happened too many times to be a mere coincidence, and proves, all scientific and religious evidence to the contrary, that these heathen people do not have the spiritual capability of fully understanding the Christian Gospel, although I believe they can be saved.

This people, living without the Law, which was given only to Israel (not the Jews), are not living in sin, as are we who have the law. Paul speaks of this in Romans 2:14 - "For when the Gentiles (and here the word refers to heathen) which have not the law, do by nature the things contained the law, their having not the law unto themselves." The in Romans 7:7 he asks this question: "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin but by the law: for I had not known lust except the law said. Thou shalt not covet." (The Greek - epithumeo - meaning: "to set your heart on; desire; long for; lust after".)

The Jewish leaders knew that Israel was divorced and had lost their identity, for when Jesus told them that they would seek Him and not be able to find Him (John 7:32-37).

Do You Really Believe?

They said among themselves: "Will he go to the dispersed (Israelites) among the Gentiles (heathen nations) and hide himself?" Later when the Pharisees and Chief Priests met to decide what to do about the problems Jesus was causing them, as He had become a thorn in their sides by His doctrine, the Chief Priests, said: "What shall we do? For this man doeth many miracles (which they could not deny). If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation." (John 11:47-53) It is obvious that Caiaphas knew that Christ's mission was to gather scattered Israel, and feared losing his position as High Priest, if this took place, verses fifty-one - fifty-three, clearly states that Caiaphas stated this, not of himself, but being the High Priest, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation. "And not for that nation only, but that He also should gather together as one the children of God (Israelites) that were scattered abroad. Then from that day forth they (the Jewish Sanhedrin) took counsel together for to put Him to death."

When Jesus used different Parables in His teachings - the Hidden treasure; the Prodigal Son; the Two Sons; the Vineyard laborers, and others, both His disciples and the Judeans who listened to Him, knew He was referring to lost Israel. As a climax to His kingdom teaching, He used the Parable of the Vineyard Laborers (Matthew 21:33-46). This was the story about the deliberate rejection and murder of the Son by the Jews.

When Jesus asked the Pharisees how the Lord should punish these wicked men, they were honest enough to reply (Matthew 21:,41) - "He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their season."

It was at this point where Jesus showed that He was the rejected stone (Matthew 21:42,43),

- "Jesus said unto them (the Pharisees), did ye never read in the Scriptures (Psalm 118:22; Isaiah 28:16), “The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?" Then He went on in verse forty-three to tell the result of Jewish rejection of Him as Messiah: "Therefore (because of this), I say unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation (not the Church, as we have been told) bringing forth the fruits thereof " I believe that nation was the United States of America which began as a Christian nation, and was acknowledged world-wide as a Christian nation, which is now under God's disciplining hand, for leaving its first love, and supporting anti-Christ's.

The first incident of lost Israelites, seeking Jesus can be found in John 12:20-22.

The second chapter of the book of Acts, has been confusing to church folks, for they see the terms Israel and Judah applied to the same people. A little study will show you that those who were called Jews were Jews by religion (as was the Apostle Paul before his conversion), not necessarily by Israelite bloodline. They came from every known nation on earth at that time. They were not classified a Jew except by religion, and most of them were Israelites. They were classified as Parthian, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians, Judeans, Cappadocians, Phrygians, Pamphelians, Egyptians, Libyans, Cretans, Arabians, and Romans.

When the Apostle Peter addressed them, there was no confusion in his mind about who they were. In Acts 2:14 he calls them "Ye men of Judea (Inhabitants of Judea, not necessarily Jews by religion) that dwell in Jerusalem." He clarifies this in verse twenty-two - "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; . . ." Peter knew whereof he spoke, for he had heard from the Master's own lips how He had disenfranchised the Jewish people, who no longer could be considered as God's Chosen. Peter challenged these Israelites from all over the known world, to "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:37, 38)

This Pentecost message was to a scattered Israel, which had been elected by God for a special purpose, Peter said of them in 1 Peter 2:9, 10 - "But ye (Israel) are a chosen generation (bloodline), a royal priesthood, and holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light:

Which in time past were not a people (you were divorced and known as Gentiles – Hosea 1:10, 11), but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." The legacy of Israel! It is indeed unfortunate that most of our Bible scholars refuse to accept the plain teaching of the Word, and have confused the word Gentile to mean heathen, thus making the Israel people out to be heathens, when in most cases it comes from the Hebrew goy, in the Old Testament and the Greek ethnos, in the New. Both meaning tribes, or nations, and in a few places in the New Testament, Greeks, who were Israelites. In very few places is the word Gentile applied to heathen, but any non-Jewish person. When Jacob predicted in Genesis 48:19 - "His seed shall become a multitude of nations", the Hebrew word goy (Gentile) was used and obviously did not apply to a heathen.

The Apostle Paul said, in Romans 11:25 - "Blindness in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles (ethnos) be come in," he was referring to the fact that Israel would lose its identity, something which never happened to the Jewish people. Israel was to become blind and a multitude of 'nations, something else that never happened to the Jews, but has already taken place among the White nations of Christendom.

Do You Really Believe?

When the Lord sent Ananias to Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9:15, so he could be converted and receive his sight, he told him: "He (Saul) is a chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the Gentiles (ethnos - nations), and kings and the children of Israel."

The specific wording of these verses clearly shows that it was not speaking of Jews, since they never had a king. Someone is bound to disagree with this observation and say: "How about King David? Wasn't he a Jewish King?" I challenge you to show me any Scripture, where David is referred to as a Jew. He lived and reined about 1048 BC - 1015 BC which was 300 years before anyone called Jews showed up on the historical scene in 2 Kings 16:6, about 742 BC. Yet false tradition in the church has become so strong, that David is generally considered to have been a Jewish king. It is also interesting to note that although the apostle Paul was a Benjamite, and not a Jew. Mistranslations of the Epistle of Romans call him a Jew, when he should have been referred to as a Judean. He was Jew by religion, a high-ranking Pharisee, but a Benjamite, therefore an Israelite by bloodline (see Philippians 3:5 for his own witness). We can clearly see these mistranslations by looking at Romans 3:1, 2. In the King James translation they say: "What advantage then hath the Jews? Or what profit is there to circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God." We know this cannot be true, since the ordinance of circumcision was given to the Hebrew Abraham, almost 1200 years before there was anyone known as Jews, and the Jewish people never received any oracle from God. The one's who received them were all Israelites. If these Epistles were written to heathen Gentiles, as most Bible scholars imply, how would they understand Paul's constant references to Sarah, Abraham, and Jacob, who were all Hebrews? The first Israelites began with Jacob, when God changed his name from Jacob to Israel.

When the Apostle Paul spoke about the "law given unto our fathers", how would heathen Gentiles understand? When he spoke about Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac and God's choice of Jacob over Esau, how would heathen Gentiles understand? It would be impossible! No my dear Christian friends, even if you are among the brainwashed ones of Judeo-Christianity, the Epistles were not for heathen ears, but for those Israelites who understood their meaning.

The very fact that the White nations of Christendom have been first in their acceptance of Christianity is an outstanding fingerprint indicating they are true Israel. Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice and follow me," (John 10:3, 27).

Ask yourself where the Jews qualify under the promise of Isaiah 59:21? How could they when they do not believe on the Saviour?

Do You Really Believe?

Have the Jews glorified Jesus Christ, as Israel was to do? Hardly, they spit and curse when His name is mentioned. (Isaiah 41:16; Luke 1:16) Do the Jews declare Christ to be the head of Old Testament Israel? (Isaiah 43:10-12; 49:3; Acts 1:8). Not by any stretch of the most fertile imagination. Do the Jews show forth the praise of God's Son, Jesus Christ? (Isaiah 43:21). Their Talmud condemns Him and all Christians, to spend eternity in hell, buried up to their necks in boiling excrement! Have the Jews carried the Gospel of the Kingdom to the entire world? (Genesis 28:14; Isaiah 43:10; 49:6; Acts 1:8). You know the answer to this.

Are any Jews found among the great characters of faith found in the Bible in Hebrews 11? Not a one. Abel; Enoch; Noah; Abraham; Sarah; Isaac; Jacob; Joseph; Moses; Gideon; Barak; Samson; Samuel; David and more. Some like the harlot Rahab were not even Israelites, but they were commended for their faith, and not a one of them were Jews. This should tell an intelligent person something.

Are the Jews a righteous people? 1 John 2:22, 23 tell us they are anti-Christ's so they cannot qualify as Israelites on this score. How can a nation, a people, be righteous when they are against the very root of righteousness?

Are the Jews a great nation? Have they ever qualified as such? (See Genesis 35:11; 48:19). In no way have they come close to a great nation status, and only survive now because of largess and protection of the American government.

Do the Jews have a new name today? No, they still carry the same name they have had since 742 BC (See Isaiah 62:2; 65:15; Hosea 1:10; Romans 9:25, 26; 1 Peter 2:10).

No my mislead, brainwashed Judeo-Christian, Fundamentalists friends, these are only a few of the more than 200 Scriptural fingerprints, which will identify true Israel in the closing out days of this age, and the Jews do not qualify for a single one, Jack Van Impe to the contrary.

The Bible promises, Covenants, Laws, Psalms, Prophecies, Parables and history, all conclusively prove to an honest, discerning mind, that the people we know as Jews are not the Israelites of the Bible. When Jesus returns, soon I believe, as the prophetic signs point in that direction, it will be to set up His kingdom on this earth, as indicated in the Lord's prayer: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven." We will not be celebrating with Him in some heavenly party, but will be serving Him here on this renovated earth (See 2 Peter 3). He will redeem His Israel people and we shall go forward to do the work God has prepared for us to do, as we become a Blessing to all nations. That will be the day of final peace, when the "swords are beaten into plowshares, and war is not taught anymore.

Lord hasten thy return!

Are you ready for His return? Do you really believe His Word? Are you ready to show your love for Him, through your obedience? After you sought His forgiveness did you pledge yourself to Him, to serve Him as King of kings, and Lord of lords? Your Israel heritage will mean little to you, unless you are first born from above, (John 3:3). This must come first, and then must come National repentance and acceptance of Him as King. (I suggest you read and meditate on 2 Chronicles 7:14.)

Wishing you and yours His protection and blessing for the uncertain days ahead, knowing that obedience to God, must come before we can have victory!

Your brother and servant in the King's business,

Col. Jack Mohr, US Army Ret.

Dear Friends, Please accept this appeal for prayer as an expression of a spiritual concern and not a political interest in President Trump as he begins his first overseas trip since being elected. In 1 Timothy 2:1-4 Paul wrote, “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” As our beleaguered president begins his “Religion Tour” visiting 5 countries in 9 days, I have been burdened to pray for a spiritual breakthrough for him as he travels. He will be visiting the birthplace of Islam in Saudi Arabia, the capital of Judaism in Jerusalem, and the Vatican, the seat of governance for the global Catholic Church. He will also attend a G7 economic Summit in Sicily and a NATO meeting in Brussels. My intercessory interest is focused on the president’s visits to the three religious centers in particular. I imagine he has no idea about spiritual forces he will be facing as he makes this trip! It has occurred to me however, as I pray for President Trump, that he is like Saul on the road to Damascus, perhaps having had an encounter of sorts with Jesus but not knowing him fully at this juncture. Thankfully, God has placed people in his inner circle, men like Ben Carson and Mike Pence, who are thorough going evangelicals, men who have access to him personally and who can help him gain a better understanding of Jesus and His primacy as King of kings and Lord of lords. It has also occurred to me that this trip allows the president to follow sequentially in Saul’s footsteps during a trip that could help him become a fully committed Christ follower like Paul. Think of Galatians 1:11-12, 15-18, “For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. ... But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus. Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem.” Eventually, Paul ended up in Rome following Jesus direction to testify there as he had witnessed to the gentiles elsewhere (Acts 23:11). So it seems to me that Mr. Trump is visiting these religious centers in the order Paul did in the first century. Might we not pray that in Saudi Arabia the president will not find his meeting with King Salam as meaningful as a personal encounter with King Jesus? Could he not also receive direct revelation from the Lord as Paul did in the 1st century and thereby understand the gospel of Jesus Christ more fully? In Jerusalem, the president will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But he is also scheduled to pray at the Wailing Wall, the first ever sitting president to do so. More pointedly, the president has asked to pray there alone, unaccompanied by any Israeli political official. Already Mr. Trump has penned a written prayer to be inserted in the wall. How will a time of personal prayer in this place impact the leader of the free world? He will also visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the cathedral that purports to be built on a site encompassing both Mount Calvary, the place where Jesus died, and the tomb where Jesus was laid after the crucifixion and where he was later resurrected. What might happen to our president’s heart spiritually as he walks where Jesus walked, and reflects at the place where Jesus died and actually enters the Savior’s tomb, focusing his thoughts on the wonder of the resurrection? What might happen n the lives of Invanka and her husband, both presently Jews, as they come face to face with the gospel presented more directly and clearly perhaps than ever before? We can only pray for God’s revolutionary intervention in their lives! Finally, the president will visit the Vatican, ostensibly to see the Pope. But the schedule includes a tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, the burial site of the apostle Peter, a vivid reminder that both Peter and Paul were imprisoned in Rome before each were executed there. Might the Lord introduce the president to a Christian who will remind him of these two great apostles who preached the gospel in peril of death in the city of Rome. May such a person witness to our president about this city made great not by the presence of the Pope but by the blood of the martyrs shed in the Roman colosseum over the years. Mr. Trump may be planning a politically oriented jaunt through these religious sites as a virtual tourist but he could find himself inadvertently caught in a vortex of revelation and divine encounters arranged by God for his spiritual benefit (and for ours should the president become a man more deeply committed to Jesus). That is my prayer and my request for your intercessory support as this month draws to a close. Thanks for indulging me in a prayerful reflection that I hope will encourage more spiritual consideration for a leader who needs more, not less, prayerful support from believers of all stripes, whether or not we are supportive of his politics and policies. As God answers, we we may yet lead a more tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. Blessings, John Rowell President, Ministry Resource Network

THEY WANT TO DESTROY CHRISTIANITY

THE GOAL OF ZIONISM “Is To Destroy White Christian Civilization” Do you really believe your Bible? One of the most important documents you may ever read! Jesus warned that the world would succumb to a one world dictator and that the entire world would follow after this Jewish “superman” leader known as the Anti-Christ. Many have asked how it is possible. How can mankind be so deceived? Let me refer you to a document written by Lt. Col. Jack Mohr, US Army Ret. that well answers this question. It is so simple but so many Christians simply do not believe what the Scriptures teach. Do you really believe your Bible? “Zionism, the political arm of Jewry, has openly declared their intention of destroying White Christian civilization, and to bring the world into the New World Order.” “Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.” 1Cor. 10:32 A strange disagreement exists today between modern prophetic students and the people we know as Jews. The Futurist prophetic preachers of Judeo-Christian Fundamentalism affirm that the people we now know as Jews are “all of Israel”! And that they represented the twelve Israel tribes at the time Christ walked this earth, and are their descendants today, to whom, the land of Palestine was given by direct Divine mandate from Almighty God. The Jewish leaders deny this and have stated in the Jewish Encyclopedia that the Tribe of Judah, from which the Jewish people are supposed to have descended, is not an Israelite tribe. They claim that they are direct descendants of Judah, and Levi, with a few from the Tribe of Benjamin. The purpose of this message is to show you that Scriptural and historical facts refute both these premises. Why is this of such importance? Because Zionism, the political arm of Jewry, has openly declared their intention of destroying White Christian civilization, and bring the world into the New World Order, under the absolute control of World Jewry and Antichrist. Their holy book, the Babylon Talmud, which their leaders say is the lifeblood of Jewry, puts it in perspective: "When our Messiah comes, every Jew will have 2,000 “goyim”, now-Jew slaves." (The word goyim is a Yiddish term of contempt referring to non-human animals.) The Babylonian Talmud is the single most important writings of the Jewish religion and consists on the writings of Jewish rabbis from about 500 BC when it was begun in Babylon to a thousand years later, when it was completed in the Jewish Seminary in Alexandria, Egypt. It contains the arguments and counter-arguments of the Jewish rabbis from this period. In this huge writing of 63 volumes, the Jewish rabbis refute the teachings of the Mosaic Pentateuch, and much of what was written by the Israelite prophets, causing Jesus to ask them in Matthew 15:3 "Why do ye transgress the commandments of God by your traditions?" In verse eight and nine of this same chapter, He said: "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me (God), teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Do You Really Believe the Bible? Most Judeo-Christians believe that the Jewish people follow the teachings of Moses, but Jesus exploded this fallacy in John 5:45-47 when He told the Jewish leaders: "Do not think that I accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye (say) trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" The purpose of this article is to determine if you really believe the Word of God, or have you become, as so many professing Christians have, a believer in the teachings of some pastor, rather than in God's Word? We will use the Bible as our Guide Book and Judge. The best illustration of this that I can think of is found in John 10:26. Ask any Judeo Christian who believes the Jews are God's Chosen people, if they love Jesus and believe His Word, and they are apt to get angry. Yet in this verse, He plainly tells the Jewish leaders: "But ye (Jews) believe me not; because ye are not of my sheep!" So the evidence of God's Word proves that they will accept the teachings of a man over that of their Saviour and that they really don't believe God's Word. Harsh but proven true! There are many other Scriptures, which testify to this truth. Matthew 23:15 In John 8:32 Jesus tells the Pharisees: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The haughty Pharisees replied in verse 33 "… We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, ye shall be free?" Here the Jewish leaders admit to a serious situation that has caused the controversy in the Christian world. They admitted that while they were of Abraham's bloodline, they were not Israelites, for any Sunday school student knows that Israelites were in bondage in Egypt and again in Assyria. Why is it that the Bible scholars and pastors who say the Jews are all of Israel, refuse to admit that they were not even a part of it? The answer comes straight from the mouths of those they claim are Israel: "We were never slaves to anyone!" What does this mean? If they were of the bloodline of Abraham, as they claim, and we have no reason to doubt them, they could only have been so related through Abraham's son, Esau/Edom. To see what God thought of them, read Malachi 1:2-4, where God, speaking through the prophet Malachi says of them: "I have loved you (Israel) saith the Lord. Yet ye say; Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? Saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau and laid his mountains and his heritage waste (desolate) ... Whereas Edom saith, we are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they (true Israel) shall call them (the Jews), The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation (anger) forever." Hardly the picture painted by the Zionist apologists, such as Van Impe and Robertson. Jesus did not rebuke them when they claimed relationship with Abraham, instead of in John 8:37 He tells them: "I know ye are Abraham's seed, but ye seek to kill me because my Word hath no place in you." Who then are these imposters? They are in part Edomites of the lineage of Esau, who God says he hated. Why? It was because Esau despised his birthright, and sold it to his brother Jacob for a mess of beans and rice. In Heb. 12:16 we read that Esau was a fornicator. (The Greek word used here is pornos, meaning: "a prostitute; to sell one’s self; a libertine; a whoremonger"). This passage says: "who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For we know how that afterward when he would have received the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears." It's no light thing to turn one's back on our birthright, and heritage, yet it is being done daily by millions of professing Christians in the Judeo-Christian world. Some of you who read these words will no doubt react with shock and possibly with anger. Yet the Scripture plainly tells us in Romans 9:13 - "Jacob have I loved; Esau have I hated. (God speaking)." The entire book of Obadiah, affirms God's hatred for Esau. In Obadiah verse 10 speaking to Edom, it says: "For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever." Verse 18 "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it." This seems mighty plain to me. Faced with Scripture such as these, how can pastors honestly insist that the Jews are God's Chosen? Another interesting thing about modern Jewry is that very few of them can trace their bloodline back to Abraham. They belong to those our risen Lord mentions in Revelation 2:9; 3:9, as "They who say they are Jews (Judeans), and are not; but are of the synagogue (meeting house) of Satan." Jewish authorities openly admit, that at least 90% of those who call themselves Jews, have no blood connection with Abraham, but come from a Turco- Mongolian background, with their forefathers never having set foot in Palestine. They are known as Ashkenazi Jews. Every Prime Minister of the State of Israeli has come from this heathen background. These people were adopted into Jewry in the 8th Century AD when their ruler declared them to be Jews. At this time they were known as Khazars. (For historical confirmation see Koestler's well-documented book "The Thirteenth Tribe.") The Fundamentalists claim that when the Assyrian and Babylonian captivity of Israel, and much of Judah, took place, the Israelites from the Northern ten tribes became lost in history and have never been traced, while Judah, became the Jews of the New Testament and modern times. In this, they are partially correct. The Jews who had settled in Babylon after their captivity, intermingled the Hebrew religion with the occult practices of Babylon, and a few of them returned to Palestine with a new religion known as Judaism and a Holy Book known as the Babylonian Talmud, which was not the Hebrew religion taught by Moses and the prophets, but was the traditions of the rabbis, that Jesus constantly fought against Matthew 15:9. It is extremely important for you to know what happened to these captive Israelites since all prophetic teachings concerning Israel hinge on this question. If the modern Jews represent all Twelve Tribes, then there are many Bible prophecies, which are still unfulfilled. Because of this, the Futurist preachers teach that this prophecy will be fulfilled sometime in the future, during the millennial reign of Christ, for they have never been fulfilled to the present day. If on the other hand, the people we now call Jews are not the Chosen of God and all of Israel but are the pseudo-Jews of Revelation chapter 2, then what became of the ten Northern tribes of Israel who were taken into Assyrian captivity? Are Bible prophecies being fulfilled in them now, or have they disappeared for all time as the Futurists say? What are these prophesies and how do they affect present-day world conditions? If the Jews are not all of Israel, or not Israel at all, then how did true Israel receive the Gospel of the Kingdom, as promised? Is there Scriptural evidence which shows that Israel still exists, and must be considered separate from Jewry? The Ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom, along with most of Judah, never returned from their captivity because when the Assyrians, carried them away foreign people from other areas replaced them. 2 Kings 17:24 tells us: "And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cu'thah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharv'im (all foreigners), and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof" They became known as Samaritans, and in Jesus' time were looked down on by the Judahites who considered them as mere animals. The house of Judah, in the south, from which a tiny portion of today's Jews sprang, did not want the Northern Israelites in their area since they had been quarreling and fighting with them from 975 BC until 721 BC. When one or the other could not win, they would become allies with Assyria, Babylon, or Egypt. On several occasions, they even sided with each other 2 Chronicles 18:3. I sincerely doubt this ill feeling would have been healed, without the Scriptures mentioning it, and there is no hint of reconciliation. In fact, we hear the Judeans speaking to their Israelite brethren in Ezekiel 11:15 ". . . all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, “Get you far from the Lord unto us is the land given in possession.” Do you really believe Judah would have reversed this nasty attitude towards Israel, without Scriptures mentioning it? If the Ten Tribes had returned to Palestine, they would have broken God's Law concerning inheritance was given in Numbers 36:7-9. Summed up in a few words, this said: "Every tribe shall keep to its own inheritance," and Israel had no inheritance in Judah. They had no right to settle in any lands other than those, which had been given to them by God when the land of Canaan had been divided among the twelve tribes. The Jewish nation began, after a relatively few Judeans returned to Palestine from Babylon about 42,360 according to Ezra 2:64, with a few more returning later in 446 BC under Nehemiah. A close examination of the Scriptures will show that although Bible scholars often consider Benjamites as Jews, they did not live with the Jews, but lived in Galilee of the Gentile tribes. The word Gentile in the Greek is ethnos and refers to a tribe or nation, almost always non-Jewish. Christ's disciples with the exception of the traitor Judas Iscariot came from Galilee of the Gentiles. The Apostle Paul, while a Jew by religion, until his Damascus road conversion, was a Benjamites by bloodline and not a Jew. While the Bible translators have confused this in some instances, such as Romans 3:1-2 where it says (KJV): "What advantage then hath the Jew? Or what profit is there in circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because unto them were committed the oracles of God." Twelve hundred years before any Jews appeared on the historical scene. In Romans 9:2-4 Paul clarifies this somewhat when he says: "That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;" Nowhere in Scripture will you find where these were ever given to people called Jews. He clarifies his position in Romans 11:1 "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin." Again in Philippians 3:5 he says: "Circumcised the eighth day of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, and Hebrew of the Hebrews: as touching the law, a Pharisee." So if anyone tells you that Apostle Paul was a Jew, there is evidence to the contrary from his own lips. When we consider the Twelve tribes of Israel, rank must be considered, since Jacob himself, in his final end-time prophesies, as recorded in Genesis 48 & 49, gave them this rank. The birthright, or material blessings, was given to Joseph and his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, who were to be the birthright tribes. The scepter or the kings were always to come from the tribe of Judah. Both Scriptures and history verifies this since the Davidic line of kings, and our Lord Himself, who is become the King of kings, came from Judah. Because the right of rulership was always to come from Judah, the genealogical tables are recorded so as to show the line of the Messiah. The line of Joseph is not shown. Although Reuben was Jacob's oldest son and would normally have received the birthright blessing, it was withheld from him because of his sin 1 Chronicles 5:1-2, 5 and was given to Joseph and his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were legally adopted by Jacob Genesis 48:16. There was no way the ten tribes could return under the Tribe of Judah, without despising their birthright, and changing the prophetic plan as prophesied by Jacob in Genesis 49. When the division of the Kingdom took place, on the death of King Solomon, it was Ephraim who assumed leadership, when Solomon's son Rehoboam was rejected and the split between Israel and Judah took place as prophesied by Hosea, Jeremiah and other of the prophets. These prophecies were addressed to Ephraim/Israel Hosea chapter 2 & 14. When the Judeans returned from Babylon, only the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi are mentioned in Ezra 1:5. Since no other tribes are mentioned, we know they were none of them in Babylonian captivity. If the statement by the fundamentalists that the Jews are all of Israel, were true, then what became of God's promise that Israel would never cease to be a nation and would always have a king from the Davidic line, ruling over them? In Genesis 17:7 we read: "And I (God) will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee." The seed of Abraham was to become not only a great multitude of people, like the stars of the heavens, in number, but a great nation and a Commonwealth of Nations Genesis 12:3.  The people we know as Jews have never qualified as to this great number, to be a great nation and a commonwealth of nations. So we know they are not of Israel. As a close study of Scripture shows that Israel did not return from Assyrian captivity for the following reasons: 1. They could not regain the land, which had been given to their forefathers by God. 2. The inhabitants of Jerusalem had ordered the house of Israel away from God. 3. The birthright tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh could not despise their birthright by returning to Palestine under Judah. The claim by some Bible, scholars that Israel went south from Assyria and joined Judah in Babylonian captivity is contrary to Scriptural records. Honest historians and ethnologists (the science which deals with origin, distribution, origin and distinguishing characteristics of races), know that throughout the centuries that followed, Judah, under other names such as Jute followed Israel over northern and Western Europe and the British Isles and became reunited with them. Contrary to all other migrations which went east and south, that Israel was north and west. Some believe that the Jews who returned to Palestine are of the tribe of Judah, but historical research, backed by Jewish historians themselves, shows these people to be mostly Turco-Mongolians Khazars from Eastern Europe. The Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones, in Ezekiel 37, shows the future of the reunited house of Israel: 1.) God's people will be brought back from the heathen nations. 2.) God will open the graves and cause them to come into the land of Israel. (Notice nothing is said about this being Old Palestine.) I believe it will be the new land that was promised to King David in 2 Samuel 7:10. The wording indicates it will be the future, in a place other than Palestine. I believe we are living in part of this new land now, the United States and Canada. In Ezekiel 37:14, we are told by the prophet: "And I shall put my Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: (again no hint that this is Old Palestine) and then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken and performed it." When this happens, Israel is to be an exceeding great army and any discerning Bible scholar surely can see that the return of fewer than 50,000 Judeans from Babylon to Palestine, with their new religion of Judaism, cannot be part or all of true Israel. In like manner, the less than 22 million Jews who exist today cannot qualify as numbering as the sands of the sea, or the stars in the heavens. As a nation, God divorced Israel in Hosea 1:6 - ". . . for I (God) will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away." In verse nine of the same chapter, God continues: ". . . for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God." Yet a strange thing takes place in verse ten, "Yet the number of the children of Israel (the divorced ones) shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it comes to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not people (the Jews and Judeo-Christians call us Gentiles), there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God (Christians)." Verse eleven - "Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head (Jesus Christ), and they shall come up out of the land:" Divorced Israel was divorced for their apostasy, and cannot return until God makes this possible. Isaiah 50:1 says: "Thus saith the Lord, `Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I (God) have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities, have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away." Then in Jeremiah 31:31-34, we read: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel; and the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the days I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them saith the Lord: But this shall be the covenant I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." This is what we are longing and working for. In this same passage in Hosea, the prophet refers to the fact that these people whom God has divorced, and who are said, "ye are not my people," are still referred to as the "sons of the living God." Isn't that what has happened to Israel? They are now known as Gentiles. They have lost their identity as Israel, yet God says of them: "Ye are my sons!" Only the White nations of Christendom can qualify here. The people we know as Jews have never lost their identity. They say, "We are God's Chosen!" But God says: "Only those of you who believe on my Son, Jesus, are my people, the rest of you are antichrists!" (See 1 John 4:3) "Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of anti-Christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world." There is only one way an Israelite or a heathen can become a "son of God", and that is through the new birth of John 1:12 and John 3:3. Being White or an Israelite does not qualify you as a son. This is why Jesus told Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again, from above!" In the place where God's people would assemble in the last days, they would not be known as "God's people, called by His name", since a usurper had stolen this title. They would be known as Gentiles. Yet when they accepted Christ as their Saviour and King, they would automatically and rightfully be referred to as Christians, "sons of the living God." Israel is destined to accept Christ, not only on a personal basis, but also as a nation, and hence the White nations are referred to as Christendom. It is interesting to note, that only the White nations of the world have openly accepted Christianity and the Christian religion. The colored have only been reached with a great deal of effort, at much expense and often dangerous to the messengers. Christendom has also supplied 98% of all the Christian literature published, and the same amount to missionary efforts and in times of disaster provides most of the rescue efforts. All these things and many more are fingerprints that identify us a true Israel. You will find a few of those attributes among the people known as Jews. When Israel comes back to their new land that they will never leave, Amos 9:15, tells us - "I (God) will plant them upon the land, and they shall no more be pulled out of the land which I have given them." Do You Really Believe? The Jews leave Russia for Palestine, but Jewish records show that more of them leave for the Promised Land of America, and their immediate welfare benefits, than those who stay. In 1985, for instance, Jewish immigration records show that 12,000 more Jews left the mini-state in Palestine, for America than those who remained in Palestine. Those who have become immigrants to America have become the thorns in our sides, and pricks in our eyes, the prophets said would happen if we allowed them into our country. We have seen the fulfillment of the prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:43, 44, which says: "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail." Any intelligent person can see how this has happened. When Jesus was on this earth, the Edomite King Herod ruled over the Jews. He was not of the Davidic line and was not an Israelite. When Jesus first arrived on the public scene in Palestine at the age of 30, He knew that he came from the Davidic line and that His mission was to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (See Matthew 10:6; 15:24) Your Judeo-Christian pastors will no doubt tell you that these lost sheep were unsaved Jews, but this is not the case, since the English word lost, as used here, comes from the Greek word appolumi, which refers to: "Those who were sent into exile as punishment for their disobedience." This never happened to the Jews. In John 10, Jesus discusses these lost Israelite sheep and their need for a shepherd. He uses an example the common people understood, the shepherd and his flock. In verse four He explains how His sheep follow Him, because they know his voice and will not follow a stranger. This is characteristic of sheep. Then turning to the Jewish leaders He clearly tells them in verse twenty-six - "But ye (Jews) believe not, because ye are not of my sheep." (Emphasis my) How could this be made any clearer before you believe? Jesus then goes on to explain in verses twenty-seven & twenty-eight - "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal life, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." In verse twenty-nine He says: "My Father gave them, to me." You can find no Scripture reference which tells you that the Jews were lost in the same sense as the Israelites. In no place does Jesus call the Jews, the children of God, while in at least one place, John 8:44, he said to them: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it." (Hardly Chosen People material is it?) In Matthew 23:15 he gives a second witness against the Jews. In case you refuse to believe the first. He accuses their religious leaders, calling them hypocrites who "go over the land and sea to make converts, only to turn them into two-fold more children of hell than themselves." Remember, these are not my words, they come from the mouth of the man you call your Savior. To understand this Shepherd Chapter, you will need to study Ezekiel 34. In verse six God speaking says: "My (Israel) sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them." Then in verse eleven, God says: ". . . Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out." Here again, He used the example of sheep and shepherd, and promises in verse thirteen to bring them out of the lands where they have been scattered and "feed them in Israel by the rivers." (Here is another good reason I know this will not take place in old Palestine, for the only river of any size in that land is the Jordan, and this promise says rivers plural.) In the new Israel, besides the many rivers of America, God will finally give peace, prosperity, and safety to His people. When Israel, which is God's people, that are called by His name, Christian, will finally wake up to who we are, and realize what our heritage is, then will we turn from our wicked ways, and God will hear from heaven, as He has promised and will forgive your sins, and will heal our land. This is the only Formula for Our Survival, which will work. Over and over again in Scripture Jesus Christ referrers to Himself as the good shepherd. In John 10:11 he says: "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." Then in the next few verses, verse twelve - "But he that is a hireling (Greek - misthotos - meaning: "a wage worker, good or bad" I'd say a false pastor), and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them (and devours them, for this is what a wolf does), and scattereth the sheep. Verse thirteen - The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. Verse fourteen - I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." In Isaiah 51:1, 2 we are shown the value of our heritage, as the prophet admonishes us to "Hearken unto me, ye that follow righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock from whence ye were hewn and to the hole of the pit from whence were digged. Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sara, that bare you: for I (God) called him alone and blessed him and increased him." (See also Amos 3:2 - God speaking) - "You (Israel) only have I known of all the families of the earth." When Israel learns to obey, then the promise of Ezekiel 34:25 will come to pass - "I (God) will make with them a covenant of peace, and they dwell safely in the wilderness and in the woods." Verse twenty-seven - "And the trees of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, an they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them (the International Jewish Bankers, who hold this Israel nation in several trillion dollars of debt, which can never be paid off and White Christian America, in particular, has become a slave to the Jewish slave masters. All in accordance with what God said would happen if we disobeyed Him.) Verse twenty-eight - . . . neither shall the beast of the field (Hebrew - chay - meaning: "a living creature that God created - that could walk upright like a man, talk and reason like a man, repent of evil deeds, had hands and feet and wore clothes like a man." Most certainly not an ape See Jonah 3:7-10, as an example), devour them and none shall make them afraid." An interesting lesson can be found in a study of crime statistics. According to the FBI, Blacks who make up less than 20% of our national population committed 2/3rds of all the violent crimes. Could these be the wild beasts mentioned here and elsewhere? Then thank God for the ultimate reward that will come when Israel turns to obedience of God, verse thirty-one - "And ye, my flock (Hebrew - noun - meaning: "a flock of men, used figuratively"), the flock of my pastures, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God." (The word man as used here is the Hebrew word au'daum, which means: "to show blood in the face; be capable of blushing, a characteristic only of the White race.) The Jewish rabbis in the Talmud, who insist they are God's Chosen, says this indicates that only Jews are men and that the rest of us are goyim, a term of Yiddish contempt, meaning non-Jew animal. Now can you understand Jesus' words, in John 10:11, when He said: "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep." And that is what He did. You will find no record anywhere, of a Jew ever doing anything like this. They are a very self-centered people, who seldom do anything nice for anyone that does not bring them adequate reward. This is one of the major areas where they differ from Christianity. Knowing this you can better understand Christ's words in John 10:11, where He said, "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." Then in John 10:26, to show the difference between His Israel sheep, and the people called Jews, He told their leaders: "Ye believe me not; because ye are not of my sheep." (How much plainer could He be?) When Zacharias held the infant Jesus in His arms in Luke 1:68, he prophesied: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for He hath visited and redeemed His people ..." Verse seventy-one - "That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us." (Would you say that a people who state: "We will destroy your White Christian civilization are our enemies?) Have you ever wondered why Jesus, in Matthew 10:5, told His disciples: "Go not into the way of the Gentiles (Greek - ethnos - meaning: "tribes; nations, in this case heathen), and into any city of the Samaritans (the people who replaced Israel when they went into captivity) enter ye not. But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. " He somewhat clarifies this in Matthew 10:23, when He tells His Israelite followers: "But when they persecute you in this city, flee not into another: for verily I say unto you, ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man is come." Israel was to become so large and within a hundred years of Christ's death and resurrection it had already covered northern and western Europe and the British Isles. It had become so large, that it would take until the time of Christ's return for His followers to cover it. If this verse had referred to Palestine at the time of Christ, it cities could have been covered in weeks. Here we see Jesus unfolding an age-old program for the expansion of His kingdom, and His orders still remain, "Occupy until I come!" It is a glorious program for the evangelization of the world until He comes back in triumph to rule and reign, as King of kings, and Lord of lords. This indicates a kingdom of righteous triumph over evil, where one must go beyond the born-again stage, to become, and overcomer for Him. (See Revelation 3:21) Granted, this change of life must begin with being born of the Spirit, but this is just the beginning of the Christian experience, and we must not rest on our eternal security, but go on to become triumphant. In spite of Christ's clear admonition to "go to the lost sheep of Israel, our major missionary efforts have been to the dark heathen nations of the world. These have been reached only with great effort, the expenditure of vast sums of money, and often dangerous to the missionary. Talk with most any missionary who has worked with the heathens in Africa, and they will tell you about the fine Christian churches they have built, and how they have even trained native pastors in their own seminaries. Then political upheaval takes place and they are forced to leave. They come back a few years later to find their church still in operation, but with the local witch doctor as pastor. They still sing the old Gospel hymns, but their worship has become so intermixed with the occult of heathendom that it cannot be recognized as Christian. This has happened too many times to be a mere coincidence, and proves, all scientific and religious evidence to the contrary, that these heathen people do not have the spiritual capability of fully understanding the Christian Gospel, although I believe they can be saved. This people, living without the Law, which was given only to Israel (not the Jews), are not living in sin, as are we who have the law. Paul speaks of this in Romans 2:14 - "For when the Gentiles (and here the word refers to heathen) which have not the law, do by nature the things contained the law, their having not the law unto themselves." The in Romans 7:7 he asks this question: "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin but by the law: for I had not known lust except the law said. Thou shalt not covet." (The Greek - epithumeo - meaning: "to set your heart on; desire; long for; lust after".) The Jewish leaders knew that Israel was divorced and had lost their identity, for when Jesus told them that they would seek Him and not be able to find Him (John 7:32-37). Do You Really Believe? They said among themselves: "Will he go to the dispersed (Israelites) among the Gentiles (heathen nations) and hide himself?" Later when the Pharisees and Chief Priests met to decide what to do about the problems Jesus was causing them, as He had become a thorn in their sides by His doctrine, the Chief Priests, said: "What shall we do? For this man doeth many miracles (which they could not deny). If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation." (John 11:47-53) It is obvious that Caiaphas knew that Christ's mission was to gather scattered Israel, and feared to lose his position as High Priest, if this took place, verses fifty-one - fifty-three, clearly states that Caiaphas stated this, not of himself, but being the High Priest, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation. "And not for that nation only, but that He also should gather together as one the children of God (Israelites) that were scattered abroad. Then from that day forth they (the Jewish Sanhedrin) took counsel together to put Him to death." When Jesus used different Parables in His teachings - the Hidden treasure; the Prodigal Son; the Two Sons; the Vineyard laborers, and others, both His disciples and the Judeans who listened to Him, knew He was referring to lost Israel. As a climax to His kingdom teaching, He used the Parable of the Vineyard Laborers (Matthew 21:33-46). This was the story about the deliberate rejection and murder of the Son by the Jews. When Jesus asked the Pharisees how the Lord should punish these wicked men, they were honest enough to reply (Matthew 21: 41) - "He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their season." It was at this point where Jesus showed that He was the rejected stone (Matthew 21:42,43), - "Jesus said unto them (the Pharisees), did ye never read in the Scriptures (Psalm 118:22; Isaiah 28:16), “The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?" Then He went on in verse forty-three to tell the result of Jewish rejection of Him as Messiah: "Therefore (because of this), I say unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation (not the Church, as we have been told) bringing forth the fruits thereof " I believe that nation was the United States of America which began as a Christian nation and was acknowledged worldwide as a Christian nation, which is now under God's disciplining hand, for leaving its first love, and supporting anti-Christ's. The first incident of lost Israelites, seeking Jesus can be found in John 12:20-22. The second chapter of the book of Acts has been confusing to church folks, for they see the terms Israel and Judah applied to the same people. A little study will show you that those who were called Jews were Jews by religion (as was the Apostle Paul before his conversion), not necessarily by Israelite bloodline. They came from every known nation on earth at that time. They were not classified a Jew except by religion, and most of them were Israelites. They were classified as Parthian, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians, Judeans, Cappadocians, Phrygians, Pamphelians, Egyptians, Libyans, Cretans, Arabians, and Romans. When the Apostle Peter addressed them, there was no confusion in his mind about who they were. In Acts 2:14 he calls them "Ye men of Judea (Inhabitants of Judea, not necessarily Jews by religion) that dwell in Jerusalem." He clarifies this in verse twenty-two - "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; . . ." Peter knew whereof he spoke, for he had heard from the Master's own lips how He had disenfranchised the Jewish people, who no longer could be considered as God's Chosen. Peter challenged these Israelites from all over the known world, to "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:37, 38) This Pentecost message was to a scattered Israel, which had been elected by God for a special purpose, Peter said of them in 1 Peter 2:9, 10 - "But ye (Israel) are a chosen generation (bloodline), a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light: Which in time past were not a people (you were divorced and known as Gentiles – Hosea 1:10, 11), but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." The legacy of Israel! It is indeed unfortunate that most of our Bible scholars refuse to accept the plain teaching of the Word, and have confused the word Gentile to mean heathen, thus making the Israel people out to be heathens, when in most cases it comes from the Hebrew goy, in the Old Testament and the Greek ethnos, in the New. Both meaning tribes, or nations, and in a few places in the New Testament, Greeks, who were Israelites. In very few places is the word Gentile applied to a heathen, but any non-Jewish person. When Jacob predicted in Genesis 48:19 - "His seed shall become a multitude of nations", the Hebrew word goy (Gentile) was used and obviously did not apply to a heathen. The Apostle Paul said, in Romans 11:25 - "Blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles (ethnos) be come in," he was referring to the fact that Israel would lose its identity, something which never happened to the Jewish people. Israel was to become blind and a multitude of 'nations, something else that never happened to the Jews, but has already taken place among the White nations of Christendom. Do You Really Believe? When the Lord sent Ananias to Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9:15, so he could be converted and receive his sight, he told him: "He (Saul) is a chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the Gentiles (ethnos - nations), and kings and the children of Israel." The specific wording of these verses clearly shows that it was not speaking of Jews since they never had a king. Someone is bound to disagree with this observation and say: "How about King David? Wasn't he a Jewish King?" I challenge you to show me any Scripture, where David is referred to as a Jew. He lived and reined about 1048 BC - 1015 BC which was 300 years before anyone called Jews showed up on the historical scene in 2 Kings 16:6, about 742 BC. Yet false tradition in the church has become so strong, that David is generally considered to have been a Jewish king. It is also interesting to note that although the apostle Paul was a Benjamite, and not a Jew. Mistranslations of the Epistle of Romans call him a Jew when he should have been referred to as a Judean. He was a Jew by religion, a high-ranking Pharisee, but a Benjamite, therefore an Israelite by bloodline (see Philippians 3:5 for his own witness). We can clearly see these mistranslations by looking at Romans 3:1, 2. In the King James translation, they say: "What advantage then hath the Jews? Or what profit is there to circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God." We know this cannot be true, since the ordinance of circumcision was given to the Hebrew Abraham, almost 1200 years before there was anyone known as Jews, and the Jewish people never received any oracle from God. The ones who received them were all Israelites. If these Epistles were written to heathen Gentiles, as most Bible scholars imply, how would they understand Paul's constant references to Sarah, Abraham, and Jacob, who were all Hebrews? The first Israelites began with Jacob when God changed his name from Jacob to Israel. When the Apostle Paul spoke about the "law given unto our fathers", how would heathen Gentiles understand? When he spoke about Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac and God's choice of Jacob over Esau, how would heathen Gentiles understand? It would be impossible! No, my dear Christian friends, even if you are among the brainwashed ones of Judeo-Christianity, the Epistles were not for heathen ears, but for those Israelites who understood their meaning. The very fact that the White nations of Christendom have been first in their acceptance of Christianity is an outstanding fingerprint indicating they are true Israel. Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice and follow me," (John 10:3, 27). Ask yourself where the Jews qualify under the promise of Isaiah 59:21? How could they when they do not believe in the Saviour? Do You Really Believe? Have the Jews glorified Jesus Christ, as Israel was to do? Hardly, they spit and curse when His name is mentioned. (Isaiah 41:16; Luke 1:16) Do the Jews declare Christ to be the head of Old Testament Israel? (Isaiah 43:10-12; 49:3; Acts 1:8). Not by any stretch of the most fertile imagination. Do the Jews show forth the praise of God's Son, Jesus Christ? (Isaiah 43:21). Their Talmud condemns Him and all Christians, to spend eternity in hell, buried up to their necks in boiling excrement! Have the Jews carried the Gospel of the Kingdom to the entire world? (Genesis 28:14; Isaiah 43:10; 49:6; Acts 1:8). You know the answer to this. Are any Jews found among the great characters of faith found in the Bible in Hebrews 11? Not a one. Abel; Enoch; Noah; Abraham; Sarah; Isaac; Jacob; Joseph; Moses; Gideon; Barak; Samson; Samuel; David and more. Some like the harlot Rahab were not even Israelites, but they were commended for their faith, and not a one of them were Jews. This should tell an intelligent person something. Are the Jews a righteous people? 1 John 2:22, 23 tell us they are anti-Christ's so they cannot qualify as Israelites on this score. How can a nation, a people, be righteous when they are against the very root of righteousness? Are the Jews a great nation? Have they ever qualified as such? (See Genesis 35:11; 48:19). In no way have they come close to a great nation status, and only survive now because of largess and protection of the American government. Do the Jews have a new name today? No, they still carry the same name they have had since 742 BC (See Isaiah 62:2; 65:15; Hosea 1:10; Romans 9:25, 26; 1 Peter 2:10). No my mislead, brainwashed Judeo-Christian, Fundamentalists friends, these are only a few of the more than 200 Scriptural fingerprints, which will identify true Israel in the closing out days of this age, and the Jews do not qualify for a single one, Jack Van Impe to the contrary. The Bible promises, Covenants, Laws, Psalms, Prophecies, Parables and history, all conclusively prove to an honest, discerning mind, that the people we know as Jews are not the Israelites of the Bible. When Jesus returns, soon I believe, as the prophetic signs point in that direction, it will be to set up His kingdom on this earth, as indicated in the Lord's prayer: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven." We will not be celebrating with Him in some heavenly party but will be serving Him here on this renovated earth (See 2 Peter 3). He will redeem His Israel people and we shall go forward to do the work God has prepared for us to do, as we become a Blessing to all nations. That will be the day of final peace when the "swords are beaten into plowshares, and war is not taught anymore. Lord hasten thy return! Are you ready for His return? Do you really believe His Word? Are you ready to show your love for Him, through your obedience? After you sought His forgiveness did you pledge yourself to Him, to serve Him as King of kings, and Lord of lords? Your Israel heritage will mean little to you, unless you are first born from above, (John 3:3). This must come first, and then must come National repentance and acceptance of Him as King. (I suggest you read and meditate on 2 Chronicles 7:14.) Wishing you and yours His protection and blessing for the uncertain days ahead, knowing that obedience to God, must come before we can have victory!
