Could You Be An Israelite And Not Know It?
christianparty.net/isrealites.htm
"Here's a paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox: and anthropological fact, many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors." 1
--Alfred M. Lilienthal, Author of "What Price Israel?"
Could there possibly be any truth to this? If so, it would mean that the majority of Christendom and the rest of society has misidentified the people most prominent in the Bible. If Israel has been misidentified there is no doubt that major errors in doctrinal interpretation and application of Biblical prophecy have been made!
There are a variety of stories regarding the Israelites and their modern - day identity. It is not the purpose of this tract to relate another of these stories. Instead, it will furnish you with the rest of the story, the true story regarding Israel's modern identity, the one found in the Scriptures and verified by archeology and history -- a story not usually told by most preachers.
SPIRITUAL ISRAEL
-------------------------------------------------------
A large segment of Christianity is being taught that God no longer has a plan for physical Israel under the New Covenant, and that He is now working with only a spiritual Israel. For example, in the January/February 1991 issue of The Last Trump, Dr. Ed Moore claimed:
"Hence, we can begin to see that being the children of Abraham (today under the New Covenant) has nothing to do with race." 2
In his book Clouds over America, Leonard C. Lee concluded:
"Since God rejected the Israelites as a nation, we can look for the fulfillment of His purposes only in spiritual Israel. . . The [physical] Israelites have now passed off the stage of action. . ." 3
In essence, these men and others of the same persuasion, are proclaiming that God has no New Covenant plan for physical Israel. Yet, contrast these statements with what the inspired writer of Hebrews wrote:
"Behold days are coming, says the YHWH* when I will effect a New Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah. . ." (Hebrews 8:8).
While some people attempt to spiritualize this passage of Scripture to fit their preconceived ideas or to harmonize it with their denomination's teachings, the Israelites cannot be spiritualized in this verse, and for three reasons.
First, the context will not allow it. The very next verse dictates as to whether the Israelites spoken of in verse eight are to be deemed as being either physical or spiritual:
"Not like the [Mosaic] covenant which I made with their [the house of Israel's and the house of Judah's] fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt..." (Hebrews 8:9)
The people described in this passage, with whom the New Covenant was and is being made, are clearly the physical descendants of the physical people whom Moses led out of Egypt.
The second reason Israel cannot be spiritualized is illustrated by the Old Testament passage from which Hebrews 8:8-12 is quoted. The author of Hebrews quoted the Prophet Jeremiah, and Jeremiah continued with the following:
"Thus says YHWH, who gives the sun for light by day, and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by day.... If this fixed order departs from before Me ... then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever. Thus says YHWH, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out below, then I will also cast off the offspring of Israel.... " (Jeremiah 31:35-37)
Since the fixed order of the sun, moon and stars has not departed, and since the heavens have not been measured, and the depths of the earth searched out below, then it is quite apparent that God is still working with the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If not, then God has lied.
The third reason the Israelites in Hebrews 8:8 cannot be spiritualized is because of the second witness found in Romans where the Apostle Paul declared:
"For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from [the] Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom belong ... the covenants...." (Romans 9:3-4)
Not only do the previous three passages specifically declare that God made His New Covenant with Israelites, but there are many more New Testament passages which reveal that God continues to work with the physical nation of Israel to this day.**
There can be no question that God, under the New Covenant, has a plan for physical Israel (at least with the remnant who have, and are being redeemed by the atoning sacrifice of Yeshua*** the Christ).
This being the case, it behooves Christianity to correctly identify the true descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
TODAY'S JEWS
-------------------------------------------------------
Nearly all of Christendom is being taught that today's "Jews" represent Israel. Yet, how many of those same people have ever been taught that the Bible warns us of Israelite impostors? That's right, non-Israelites who fallaciously claim to be Israelites:
"I know ...the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews [i.e., Judahites, thus Israelites] and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." (Revelation 2:9)
Also, how many Christians have been told that there is actually a people who admit to being those impostors? For example, The 1980 Jewish Almanac's first chapter entitled "Identity Crisis," begins with the following admission:
"Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew.'" 4
This amazing confession is confirmed by several other Jewish sources and individual Jews. **** Dr. Oscar Levy went so far as to declare:
"And are not they [today's Jews] the inventors of the Chosen People myth?" 5
Why hasn't Christendom and the American public been told that over 90 percent of the people known as "Jews" are not descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? History reveals they are actually descendants of the fierce Turkish, Mongolian Khazar tribes which roamed the steppes of southern Russia and who adopted the religion of Judaism between the 7th and 9th Centuries. Today, the Khazars are known as "Jews" not because of race, but because of religion. 6
As stated, the Bible declares that there would be Israelite impostors, these impostors have inadvertently or deliberately identified themselves by their own writings. Therefore, if today's Jewish people are not true Israel, someone else must be!
TRUE ISRAEL
-------------------------------------------------------
God provided Scriptural clues for identifying Israel of old. There is no debate that ancient Israel fulfilled most of these marks and was identified by them. But even more exciting is the fact that these very same features help us to identify Israel today! Listed below are fifteen national, geographical and spiritual aspects out of hundreds of scriptural clues that positively identify Israel. Ask yourself, what modern-day people do they identify?
5 NATIONAL ASPECTS
Israel was to become a great and mighty nation. (Genesis 12:1-3)
Israel was to become a vast multitude of people. (Genesis 22:17)
Israel was to form a multitude of nations. (Genesis 17:4-6)
Israel was to rule over other nations. (Deuteronomy 15:6)
Israel was to be a blessing to all nations. (Genesis 22:18)
5 GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS
Israel was to have a new home, other than Canaan Land. (2 Samuel 7:10)
Israel's new land was to be inhabited by people gathered from many nations. (Ezekiel 38:8)
Israel was to have a land of unwalled villages, without walls, bars or gates. (Ezekiel 38:11)
Israel was to have a land of great agricultural wealth. (Deuteronomy 28:8-11)
Israel's land was described as being the "camp of the saints." (Revelations 20:7-9)
5 SPIRITUAL ASPECTS
Israel was to have a new religion and be saved by YHWH. (Jeremiah 31:7,31-37)
Israel was to carry the gospel to all the world. (Isaiah 49:3-6)
Israel was to be the only nation given God's Law. (Psalm 147:19-20)
Israel was to be blind for the most part to her identity. (Isaiah 42:16-19)
Israel was to be called by a new name. (Isaiah 62:1-2)
If Israel exists today, as she must, there is only one people whom all these identifying marks fit -- and they certainly do not represent the modern-day "Jews." They do however, describe perfectly the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Germanic, Scandinavian, and kindred peoples; the multitude of nations who became a great nation, with a new home, a new religion, and who have blessed the world with the gospel of Yeshua and numerous other blessings.
Indeed, Alfred Lilienthal (a "Jew") understood what most Celto-Saxons do not: Many Christians have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than do their modern "Jewish" neighbors.
CONCLUSION
-------------------------------------------------------
The Prophet Isaiah spoke of a time in the future when "the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, and the ears of those who hear will listen, and the mind of the hasty will discern truth." (Isaiah 32:3-4) It is the purpose of this short tract to assist in the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy in regard to the true identity of Israel. We have very briefly demonstrated and provided evidence for the following three facts:
God has a New Covenant plan for physical Israel today.
Today's "Jews" are not Israelites, but instead impostors.
The Celto-Saxon peoples are Israelites, the true descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
You now have the rest of the story, the true story concerning Israel's modern-day identity; it is up to you what you do with it. It is our prayer that Isaiah's prophecy will be fulfilled in you, and that you will do your part in awakening other Israelites to their identity, and to their responsibility to God as His people.
* Where the tetragrammaton has been incorrectly substituted with words "the LORD" or "GOD" in either the Old Testament or in the New Testament where the Old Testament is quoted, these passages have been corrected by inserting the letters YHWH (pronounced YHWH) as should have been done by the English translators.
** Matthew 1:21; 2:6; 10:6; 15:24; Luke 1:16,33,54-55,68,72-73,77; 19:9,10; 22:30; Acts 1:6; 5:31; 13:23,24; Romans 4:1; 11:1,2; James 1:1; Revelation 7:3-8; 21:10-12, etc. See chapter two of God's Covenant People, Yesterday, Today and Forever.
*** Yeshua, the Hebrew pronunciation of our Savior's name, is the preferred expression used in this tract, as it is believed to be the more acurate rendition.

ABRAHAM & SARAH WERE NOT MOUSEKTEERS NOR JEWS
One writes:
Thus, all those who you like to call "lying Jews", have been
chosen by Jehovah God to be his people. That is why they
will always prevail against those who oppress them and those
who curse the Jews will be cursed by God himself.
///
#1 First you will have to verify these people are Jews and
all those who assert something to be fact with out evidence
are liars. So where is your/their evidence they are Jews?
#2 You will not find the word Jews and chosen in the same
verse in any verse in the bible.
#3 Those who were chosen were the physical descendants of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
If you will bother to read your scriptures or look through
the archives
a) Every physical descendant of these men were a composite
of Arabs.
b) Every one of these men themselves were a composite of
Arabs.
"Jew" and "Chosen" NOT in the same verse any where.
If you want to look up the word chosen, let me do a quick
scan for you I wrote a computer scan program of the bible
that pops out every verse with any key word and puts it in
a file.
Just did the scan.. NO where in the scriptures is the word
Jew and chosen found in the same verse.
***
JEWS ARE AS DIFFERENT AS
OXYGEN AND WATER
Jews are made up of Israelites and NON Israelites. Two
different elements are not the same element.
Water is 2 parts oxygen and one part hydrogen. When they are
combined they become a completely different element.
With out oxygen in your lungs you will die, but if you put
water in your lungs you will die.
Do not be goofy and call Jews ( a mix of Israelites and NON
Israelites ) "Israelites" because they can NOT be the same
thing.
***
If you can show one bible reference of Abraham, Sarah,
Isaac, Israel, Moses, Aaron, Noah, Adam being a Jew then
give that verse or know when you say "The bible identifies
them as Jews", know you are a bald face liar.
There is no such thing as a Jew in the bible until 2 Kings
16:6 which formed ONLY AFTER THE SPLIT OF THE
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN KINGDOMS.
According to Nelson's bible charts and maps
4000+ BC Adam and Eve
2000 BC Abraham and Sarah
2086 BC Ishmael
2099 BC Isaac
2140 BC Jacob ( guess )
A gentile is simply one who is not a descendant of
the Israelites.
Jacob and every one before him until the beginning
of time were gentiles
========================================
2200 BC The first sons of Jacob / Israelites, The first Israelites.
1500 BC Moses
1000 BC David
971 BC Solomon
931 BC The Kingdom divided.
========================================
920 BC the formation of the FIRST JEWS 2 Kings 16:6
The designation between the faction which called themselves
Jews and the rest of the Israelites is similar in the
difference between the YANKEES and the CONFEDERATES.
Those who chose to call themselves the confederates were the
group of the southern split in our civil war.
Before the split of our civil war there was NO such thing as
a confederate and before the split of the kingdom of Israel
there was NO such thing as a Jew.
#1 The Jews did not exist until over 1000 years after the
death of Abraham.
#2 The Israelites followed the religion given to them by
Moses hundreds of years before any such thing as a Jew
existed.
#3 The religion people call Judaism was the religion of the
Israelites NOT some religion of the Jews. Jews may have
followed the religion of the Israelites, but the religion of
the Israelites ("Judaism") existed 1000 years before Jews
were ever formed.
#4 The Jews were a political group who were loyal to the
southern kingdom.
#5 Jews are NOT ISRAELITES
#6 The Jews were a composite of Israelites and NON
Israelites, while an Israelite can ONLY be one who is a
descendant of the Israelites.
In NO verse context in the scriptures where God was talking
to a segment of NON Israelites (which Jews were
composed of) did he say any thing about them being chosen.
***
ABRAHAM & SARAH WERE NOT MOUSEKTEERS OR JEWS
4000+ BC Adam and Eve
2000 BC Abraham and Sarah
========================================
920 BC the formation of the FIRST JEWS 2 Kings 16:6
There was no such thing as a Jew in the life time of Adam,
Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the 12 princes of Israel,
Moses, Aaron, Joshua ... so no one could be a Jew if no such
thing as a Jew existed in their life time.
Oh and I am very sorry, none of these Israelites could have
been Jews nor could they have been Mousekteers because the
Micky Mouse Club organization did not exist in their life
time.
Anyone who refers to anyone before the sons of Jacob as
Israelites, does so because they are ignorant or liars.
Anyone who refers to Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses,
Aaron, any of the Kings or prophets ( any one who existed
before the split of the kingdoms ) as Jews, does so because
they are brain washed, they are an ignoramus or they are a
bald face liar.
The bible Jews were a political group of Israelites and non
Israelites that did not form until about 920 BC.
Sorry Abraham, Isaac, Israel nor Moses were Mousekteers nor
were they Jews. It is impossible to be something that does
not exist in your life time.
Unfortunately it is not impossible for idiots and liars to
concoct their own BS.

There is no such thing as a Jew in the bible until 2 Kings
16:6 which formed ONLY AFTER THE SPLIT OF THE
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN KINGDOMS.
According to Nelson's bible charts and maps
4000+ BC Adam and Eve
2000 BC Abraham and Sarah
2086 BC Ishmael
2099 BC Isaac
2140 BC Jacob ( guess )
A gentile is simply one who is not a descendant of
the Israelites.
Jacob and every one before him until the beginning
of time were gentiles
========================================
2200 BC The first sons of Jacob / Israelites, The first Israelites.
1500 BC Moses
1000 BC David
971 BC Solomon
931 BC The Kingdom divided.
========================================
920 BC the formation of the FIRST JEWS 2 Kings 16:6
The designation between the faction which called themselves
Jews and the rest of the Israelites is similar in the
difference between the YANKEES and the CONFEDERATES.
Those who chose to call themselves the confederates were the
group of the southern split in our civil war.
Before the split of our civil war there was NO such thing as
a confederate and before the split of the kingdom of Israel
there was NO such thing as a Jew.
#1 The Jews did not exist until over 1000 years after the
death of Abraham.
#2 The Israelites followed the religion given to them by
Moses hundreds of years before any such thing as a Jew
existed.
#3 The religion people call Judaism was the religion of the
Israelites NOT some religion of the Jews. Jews may have
followed the religion of the Israelites, but the religion of
the Israelites ("Judaism") existed 1000 years before Jews
were ever formed.
#4 The Jews were a political group who were loyal to the
southern kingdom.
#5 Jews are NOT ISRAELITES
#6 The Jews were a composite of Israelites and NON
Israelites, while an Israelite can ONLY be one who is a
descendant of the Israelites.
In NO verse context in the scriptures where God was talking
to a segment of NON Israelites (which Jews were
composed of) did he say any thing about them being chosen.

ABRAHAM & SARAH WERE NOT MOUSEKTEERS OR JEWS
4000+ BC Adam and Eve
2000 BC Abraham and Sarah
========================================
920 BC the formation of the FIRST JEWS 2 Kings 16:6
There was no such thing as a Jew in the life time of Adam,
Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the 12 princes of Israel,
Moses, Aaron, Joshua ... so no one could be a Jew if no such
thing as a Jew existed in their life time.
Oh and I am very sorry, none of these Israelites could have
been Jews nor could they have been Mousekteers because the
Micky Mouse Club organization did not exist in their life
time.
Anyone who refers to anyone before the sons of Jacob as
Israelites, does so because they are ignorant or liars.
Anyone who refers to Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses,
Aaron, any of the Kings or prophets ( any one who existed
before the split of the kingdoms ) as Jews, does so because
they are brain washed, they are an ignoramus or they are a
bald face liar.
The bible Jews were a political group of Israelites and non
Israelites that did not form until about 920 BC.
Sorry Abraham, Isaac, Israel nor Moses were Mousekteers nor
were they Jews. It is impossible to be something that does
not exist in your life time.
Unfortunately it is not impossible for idiots and liars to
concoct their own BS.
