1. Synopsis
In order to understand the many problems we face today as nations across the world, and in order to discern according to the Spirit of God, we must first understand that the problems we face today lie not in the conscious choices we have made to determine the world eg. political parties or religious institutions, but rather we must acknowledge that the problems we face today stem from within the conscious and subconscious choice we each have made to either walk after the Spirit of God, or to walk after the flesh.
I understand some of you may wish to skip sections, however each section will become clearer to you if read them in order.
2. The Covenant made to Abram
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you and I will make your name great, so that you will exemplify divine blessing. I will bless those who bless those who bless you but the one who treats you lightly I must curse." -- Genesis 12:2
Abram came from Ur. According to the will of God he entered Canaan where God revealed to him that this land would belong to him and to his descendants. (Gen 13:15) As he did so, God declared,
"I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone is able to count the dust of the earth, then your descendants also can be counted. Get up and walk throughout the land, for I will give it to you." -- Genesis 13:16-17
Abram was thus to be the source of a great nation.
In his later years Abram and his wife Sarai still had no son. Abram became increasingly concerned about the realization of the promise of heirs. Therefore, the LORD again assured him that he was indeed Abram’s God and that Abram would not only have an heir but a vast number of descendants -- Genesis. 15:1-5
* It is to be noted, Abraham had six other sons besides Ishmael (born through Hagar) and Isaac (born through Sarah) through his wife Keturah whom he married after Sarah died.
"Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. And she bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah," -- Genesis 25:1-2
The promises made unto Abram by God were ratified in a formal covenant (Gen. 17:1-16). The covenant made unto Abram can be likened to Royal Grant covenant which customarily consists of four main sections: 1. a preamble, noting the parties involved;
2. the provisions in the grant;
3. restrictions or stipulations for the continuance of certain oaths taken at the time of enactment and
4. some sort of covenantal sign.
Thus after the statement of the parties involved, God and Abram, v.1a), there follow statements of covenantal stipulations (vv. 1b, 9a) covenantal enactment (vv. 2, 4a), and covenantal promises provisions (vv. 4b-8). Also included is a threefold sign (vv.9-16)) detailing (1) the changing of the names of Abram and Sarai to Abraham and Sarah (v.15), (2) the rite of circumcision (vv. 9-14), and (3) the promise that Sarah would conceive and bear a son (v. 16). That very day Abraham again demonstrated his faith and faithfulness as well as his compliance with the covenant by instituting the rite of circumcision on all the men of his household (vv. 23-27).
Together all the texts thus far considered, demonstrate that the LORD was truly the God of Abraham. Thus God assured Abraham:
"I will confirm my covenant as a perpetual covenant between me and you. It will extend to your descendants after you throughout their generations. I will be your God and the God of your descendants after you." -- Genesis 17:7
3. The Covenant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
In the account of Abraham’s death it is reported that, “Everything he owned he left to his son Isaac.” The most important legacy was that in accordance with the Abrahamic Covenant; the God of Abraham became Isaac’s God as well. Thus at a time when Isaac visited the King of the Philistines in Gerar (Gen 26:1), The LORD appeared to him (v. 2) and entered into covenant with him. The promises given to Isaac are familiar ones: the land (Canaan), a vast number of descendants, and an avenue of blessing for all people:
"I will be with you and will bless you, for I will give these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will fulfill the solemn promise I made to your father Abraham. I will multiply your descendants so that they will be as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands. All the nations of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using the name of your descendants. All this will come to pass because Abraham obeyed me and kept my commandments, my charge, my statutes, and my laws." -- Genesis. 26:3-5
Thus the God of Abraham became the God of Abraham and Isaac. Isaac in turn became a channel of blessing for his descendants. Although both of his twin sons, Esau and Jacob, were to receive the blessings of The LORD, it was the younger son Jacob who was The LORD's choice as a source of spiritual heritage (cf. Gen. 25:21-23 with Gen. 27:1-29).
In due course of time The LORD appeared to Jacob in a dream, saying:
"I am the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the ground you are lying on. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, east, north, and south. All the families of earth will pronounce blessings on one another using your name and that of your descendants."
Genesis 32 records the account of Jacob’s return to his homeland after many years of service to his uncle, during which he acquired Leah, and Rachel as his wives.
As Jacob approached Seir in Edomite territory, he began to fear for his life because he anticipated a possible hostile encounter with his brother Esau, whom he had cheated out of his birthright as Isaac’s older son. Therefore, he prayed to God for help: “O God of my father Abraham, Elohim of my father Isaac, O Adonai, you said to me, ‘Return to your land and to your relatives and I will make you prosper.’ …You said, ‘I will certainly make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the seashore, too numerous to count’” (vv. 9, 12).
The story culminates by relating how Jacob, after sending some of his herdsmen ahead with gifts designed to appease Esau, and after sending his family across the Jabbok River, was left alone (v. 24). During the night, he encountered a “man”, with whom he wrestled until daybreak. Although Jacob wrestled valiantly with the one whom he thought to be a man, he at last received a blow that dislocated his hip. Still he clung tightly to his opponent in order to receive a blessing from him. When his adversary did so, he informed Jacob that, “No longer will your name be Jacob…but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and prevailed” (v. 28). Jacob/ Israel now realized the he had been engaged in a divinely initiated encounter vv. 29-30).10
For our purposes here, it is sufficient to recognize that the changing of Jacob’s name to Israel is linked with the formula, “The God of Abraham and Isaac". A bit later, Jacob’s name change and the blessings of the divine presence in accordance with the Abrahamic Covenant are conveyed and confirmed to Jacob upon his successful entrance into his homeland (Gen. 35:9-15). At that time The LORD instructed him, “Be fruitful and multiply! A nation--even a company of nations--will descend from you; kings will be among your descendants; the land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you. To your descendants I will also give this land” (vv. 11-12).
Here once again Jacob is linked with the God of Abraham and Isaac.
Thereafter the provisions inherent in the Abrahamic Covenant become associated with the formulaic pattern, "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (or Israel)". Thus when Jacob’s son Joseph was near death in Egypt (where he had become Pharaoh’s vizier), he asked his brothers to see to it that his body would be carried along with his people when God would lead his descendants back to the land of promise (Gen. 50:25). This was in keeping with His assured promise. Accordingly, Joseph declared,
“God will surely come to you and lead you up from this land to the land he swore on oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (v. 24).
4. Jacob and Esau
Jacob and Esau were the sons of Isaac and Rebekah and the first twins mentioned in the scriptures. Even before they were born, they were struggling together in the womb of their mother. Their prenatal striving foreshadowed later conflict (Genesis 25:21-26).
The twins grew up very different. Jacob was “a quiet man, staying among the tents” and his mother’s favorite. Esau was “a skillful hunter, a man of the open country” and his father’s favorite. One day, Esau returned from hunting and desired some of the lentil stew that Jacob was cooking. Jacob offered to give his brother some stew in exchange for his birthright—the special honor that Esau possessed as the older son, which gave him the right to a double portion of his father’s inheritance. Esau put his temporary, physical needs over the blessing he was in line to receive of God, and sold his birthright to Jacob (Genesis 25:27-34).
When the time came for Isaac to bestow his blessing on his sons, Jacob and his mother contrived to deceive Isaac into blessing Jacob in Esau’s place. When Esau found that his blessing had been given to Jacob, he threatened to kill his brother, and Jacob fled (Genesis 27:1 - 28:7). Years later, Jacob and Esau met and were reconciled (Genesis 33).
In the writings of the Nazarene's, Esau’s choice to sell his birthright is used as an example of ungodliness—a “godless” person who will put physical desires over spiritual blessings (Hebrews 12:15-17). By his negative example, Esau teaches us to hold fast to what is truly important, even if it means denying the appetites of the flesh. Both the Tanak (Old Testament) and the Ketuvim Netzarim (writings of the Nazarene's, also called the New Testament) use the story of Jacob and Esau to illustrate the calling and election of each man according to the will of God. God chose the younger Jacob to carry on the Abrahamic Covenant, while Esau was providentially excluded from the Messianic line (Malachi 1:2-3; Romans 9:11-14).
Both Jacob and Esau were fathers of nations. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel (Genesis 32:28), and he became the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. Esau’s descendants were the Edomites (Genesis 36). Edom was a nation that plagued Israel in later years until they were converted under force to the Babylonian amalgamated faith of the Maccabees, by the Maccabean king, John Hyrcanus.
Over time, these Edomites rose within position of power amongst the people living Judea, presiding over the fallen and corrupt Israelite faith, which had been supplanted with the 'Tradition of the Elders' or Oral Torah. During the ministry of Jesus Christ, this sect was practiced by the Pharisees.
5. How do you determine Nationality?
Nationality is a word often used but misinterpreted. Many people today view the term "nationality" as the country (land mass) you are from or the color of your skin, while others characterize it by what language you speak. But how does the Bible determine "Nationality"?
"For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:" -- Job 8:8
As the scripture states, we must inquire/learn according to the former age, the history of the Scriptures. Our question is answered in the search of our fathers. By searching your father's lineage your nationality is determined.
"And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:" -- Ezra 2:59
The Scriptures teach us that your nationality is determined by genealogy, which is based by your father's house. An example of this is the genealogy of Jesus Christ.
"The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." -- Matthew 1:1
As it is made clear, the lineage of man, and woman is determined through their fathers, only.
The Apostle Paul provides another clear example, Acts 21:39 "But Paul said, I am a man which am a Israelite of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people." Paul explained that while he was an Israelite of the city Tarsus, he was also learned in other languages such as Greek (Acts 21:37). Yet he said, 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 Paul declares his heritage according to the manner given in the Scriptures.
"And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep." -- Wisdom of Solomon 7:2
We all came from the seed of man and this is how we are to determine our nationality. Just as if you were to plant a seed of any bearing fruit tree, regardless of what land, the fruit's name will not change. Since we now understand how to determine our nationality, we could say with confidence that there is no such thing as being "mixed". Since we only determine our nationalities by our fathers only.
Another example is given through King David, an Israelite from the Tribe of Judah. His great-grandfather Boaz, married a Moabite by the name of Ruth, and they had Obed. Out of Obed came Jesse the father of David. At no point in the scriptures we read that Obed or any of his lineage to be an Israelite-Moabite. Instead we read in the scriptures the confirmation of David being of the seed of Israel (Ruth 4:9-22).
The scriptures clearly highlight that nationality is passed through the father, with your father's seed determining of which nation you belong to. This is the method of tracking genealogy according to the word of God.
Note: The lineage exception - nationality through the mother.
In Matthew 1:1-16 and Luke 3:23-38 we are presented with two genealogies of Jesus Christ. On the surface these different listings would appear to be a contradiction in the scriptures. The genealogy found in Matthew's gospel is the lineage of Jesus' earthly father Joseph, while the genealogy found in Luke's gospel is the lineage of Jesus' mother Mary. However, many of the people that teach on the genealogies fail to realize or address a major problem associated with the genealogical listing found in Luke's gospel, the lineage of Mary. Once you have established that the line is indeed Mary's you must deal with a second difficulty. The rights of the line are not passed through the mother, only the father. Even though Mary, through her lineage, was of the Davidic bloodline, she should be excluded from being able to pass those rights of the bloodline because of being a female (Deut 21:16). So it is not enough to prove that Mary was an unblemished descendant of David, she had to be a male to transfer the rights. Therefore she would be disqualified to transfer the rights to her son Jesus, except for a little known exception to the rule.
In Numbers 26 we are introduced to Zelophehad. Zelophehad, we are told, had no sons, only daughters. In Numbers 27, following the death of Zelophehad, the daughters of Zelophehad came before Moses and argued their plight. Because their father had died with no sons, all of their rights of inheritance were to be lost and they felt this was unfair. So Moses prayed to God, and God gave Moses an exception to the rule. The LORD told Moses that the inheritance CAN flow through a female, IF they fulfill two requirements. There must be no male offspring in the family (Num 27:8) and if the female offspring should marry, they must marry within their own tribe (Num 36:6).
Now we come back to Mary. On the surface she should be unable to transfer the rights to her son. But when you research you find that Mary had no brothers, and Mary did indeed marry within her own tribe, to Joseph.
Therefore in every way Jesus was a true descendant of Abraham and David, and fulfilled the prophecy which stated the Messiah would come through the line of David (of Judah).
6. The Edomites in the time of Jesus Christ
First of all, one must understand that the term "Jew" is not interchangeable with the term "Israelite." Modern mis-translations of the Sciptures have incorrectly used the term "Jew" in place of where the correct terms such as "Judean" (an inhabitant of the geographical land of Judea) or "Judahite" (a descendant of the tribe of Judah) should have been used.
The Jewish Almanac, Compiled and Edited by Richard Siegel and Carl Rheins [New York: Bantam Books, 1980] p. 3. bares witness that modern Jews are not Israelites.
"Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an ‘Israelite’ or a ‘Hebrew.'"
During the ministry of Jesus Christ, many of the "Jews" living within Judea, and Jerusalem in particular, were non-Israelites descended from Esau who fathered the nation of Edom. These non-Israelite people were known as the Idumeans, or Edomites, and were present in the land in great numbers, and were the ruling ethnic group in that territory, with the Edomites rising to prominence amongst the Pharisees, and Sadducees, with King Herod, also, descending from Edomite ancestry.
Between the time of Nehemiah and the birth of Jesus Christ, the problem of intermarriage had increased. The climax of the problem came about a century and a half before the birth of Jesus Christ, when John Hyrcanus a Hasmonean king [135-105 B.C.], conquered the heathen cities in Palestine and forced the Canaanites to become practitioners of their religion ["Jews"].
Josephus, the Roman/Judean historian, writing in about 95 A.D. wrote of this:
"Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumea [Greek form of Edom], and subdued all the Idumaeans; and permitted them to stay in that country, if they would be circumcised, and make use of the laws of the Judeans; and they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision, and the rest of the Judean ways of living; at which time therefore this befell them, they were hereafter no other than Judeans."
These Edomite "Jews" during the ministry of Jesus primarily account for the Sephardi "Jews" of today.
These Sephardi "Jews" are the the descendants of Esau/Edom (Jacob/Israel's brother), who took Canaanite wives (intermarrying with Hittites, Hivites) and Ishmaelites.
This is why 'The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol.5, p.41' also bares witness against the "Jews" by stating "Edom is in modern Jewry."
Why is this important? Because Esau/Edom was to be a lasting enemy of Jacob/Israel and would always be seeking how to kill Jacob and the true Israelites who have descended from him.
The works of Josephus relates how the Idumeans were forced to accept the religion of the Maccabees. In the scriptures Esau, Edo, Mt. Seir and Idumea are interchangeable for the offspring of ESAU, Jacob's twin brother.
The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, 1966 Doubleday & Company, Inc , Garden City, New York, Pg. 592 also bares witness of the Edomites conversion to the fallen Israelite faith.
“from then on they [Edomites] constituted a part of the jewish people, Herod being one of their descendants” [.]
A footnote in Josephus quotes Ammonius, an ancient grammarian, who says further:
"The Judeans are such by nature, and from the beginning, whilst the Idumaeans were not Judeans from the beginning, but Phoenicians and Syrians; but being afterward subdued by the Judeans and compelled to be circumcised, and to unite into one nation, and be subject to the same laws, they were called Judeans." This same footnote also quotes Dio, the ancient historian: "That country is also called Judea, and the people Judeans; and this name is given also to as many as embrace their religion, though of other nations."
Josephus continues his history of how the Maccabees incorporated the Edomites and Canaanites, and a history of the son of Hyrcanus named Aristobulus:
"He was called a lover of the Grecians; and had conferred many benefits on his own country, and made war against Iturea, and added a great part of it to Judea, and compelled its inhabitants if they would continue in that country, to be circumcised, and to live according to the Judean laws."
Now at this time the Judeans were in possession of the following cities that had belonged to the Syrians, and Idumeans, and Phoenicians: [Here he lists 23 non- Israelite cities]; which last [city] they utterly destroyed, "because its inhabitants would not bear to change their religious rites for those peculiar to the Judeans. The Judeans also possessed others of the principle cities of Syria, which had been destroyed."
This all took place at least a century before Jesus Christ. It is obvious, then, that by the time Jesus was born, a great host of the people living in Judea were Canaanites and Edomites by nationality, although they were "Jews" by religion and Judeans by citizenship. Even the ruling dynasty of the Herods were Edomites. Josephus speaks of: "Herod, who was no more than a private man, and an Idumean".
A footnote here says: "Accordingly, Josephus always esteems him an Idumean, though he says his father Antipater was of the same people with the Judeans, and a Judean by birth, as indeed all such proselytes of justice as the Idumeans, were in time esteemed the very same people with the Judeans."
The Esau-Edomite nation ["Idumea"] ceased to exist as a separate nation at this point in history. And yet the Scriptures are clear that Edom would be the enemy of Israel in the latter days.
How could these prophecies be fulfilled, if there are no Edomites left in the world? There is only one nation in the world that can prove ancestral ties with Edom, and the "Jews" themselves claim that dubious distinction. The Jews have thus adopted the materialistic and anti-Christ attitude that characterized the father of the Edomites, Esau.
Scriptural support:
Esau's blessing was to be rewarded for the work of Jacob; whose blessing was the land.
Jacob's blessing:
"Therefore Elohim give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed [be] every one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee."
Jacobs blessing is "land". Is it not the Western/Israelite nations who have the fatness of the earth?
Esau's blessing:
"And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob."
For 2 thousand years "Jews" have dwelt within the boundaries of the many lands of Israel. They have supplanted themselves in positions of power amongst religious institutions, political bodies, and banking institutions, thereby reaping the rewards and wealth affixed to the descendants of Israel by covenant of God. By the sword the "State of Israel" is sustained, and many lives have been lost, and continue event today to lost, in the terrorist quest of the nation of Edom to regain the territories promised to the descendants of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
Removing the Yoke.
Today Esau is working towards the final stages of fulfilling this prophecy. The nation of Edom, those who walk after the spirit of Esau are in the final stages of removing the yoke (of Israel) from off their necks. It is they who strive for the "New World Order" A world where Israel is no longer blessed, Chist is no longer preached, Christian are actively persecuted in their own lands; and a world where they can rule over the nations with an iron fist.
But what of the 'State of Israel'? Is that not a prophetic scriptural verse fulfilled? No.
For those who wish to argue against scriptural and historical truth, using the tired and invalid claim that the "State of Israel" was ordained by God, hearken to the Scriptures and learn; for the Scriptures clearly identify when the twelve tribes will return to Jerusalem and of what must occur first;
"That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither EHJEH thy Elohim hath scattered thee." -- Deuteronomy 30:3
Now we know God, the Father of Jesus Christ, sent His only begotten son unto the lost sheep of Israel. And we know Jesus Christ has promised to return unto those given to him, and we remain seeking his return. Therefore the above prophetic verse has not been fulfilled, and cannot apply to the "Jews" in the "State of Israel".
Further scriptural support showing that the House of Israel cannot be rejoined (Israel and Judah) until the Lord Jesus returns, and any talk of the 12 tribes having already rejoined together, and accounting for the 17 million "Jews" today is a lie, and belief in this doctrine, would mean the LORD God is liar and his prophecies are false. Consider;
"And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore." -- Ezekiel Chapter 37:21-28
Note: Even though Ezekiel makes mention of David as king over the rejoined people of Israel and Judah, this cannot be king David the father of king Solomon, because Ezekiel wrote this approximately 400 years after king David had died. "David" is simply referring to the line of David, and of the king who would rule over and with the nation of Israel forever; the scriptures identify this everlasting king as Jesus Christ.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty Elohim, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." -- Isaiah Chapter 9:6,7
"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the LORD God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." -- Luke Chapter 1:32,32
It is important to note that the prophecy of the LORD God clearly indicates that the House of Israel will be incorruptible. We know from the conditions of this world, that this has not yet occurred, and will only occur once Jesus Christ returns.
"Blessed [be] the LORD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you," -- 1 Peter Chapter 1:3,4
"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Elohim; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. But thanks [be] to Elohim, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." -- 1 Corinthians Chapter 15:50-57
The twelve tribes cannot return to Jerusalem nor fulfill their scriptural destiny, until our Lord Jesus Christ returns and collects us himself. The "Jews" in the satanic "State of Israel" are impostor's who seek to oppose our Father in Heaven, for in their hearts they have said, "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:" continuing in the same spirit of their spiritual father, ha-Satan.
Further support.
The scriptures relate that the Khazar (Ashkenazi "Jews") were/are the sons of Japheth not Shem: "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth;...the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz..." Therefore, the scriptures prove that the Ashkenazi "Jews" [Khazars] are not the descendants of Shem and cannot be Semite.
The Encyclopedia Americana (1985) states: "Khazar, an ancient Turkic-speaking people who ruled a large and powerful state in the steppes North of the Caucasus Mountains from the 7th century to their demise in the mid-11th century A.D...In the 8th Century it's political and religious head...as well as the greater part of the Khazar nobility, abandoned paganism and converted to Judaism...(The Khazars are believed to be the ancestors of most Russian and Eastern European Jews)."
Encyclopedia Britannica (15th edition): "Khazars, confederation of Turkic and Iranian tribes that established a major commercial empire in the second half of the 6th century, covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia...In the middle of the 8th century the ruling classes adopted Judaism as their religion."
Academic American Encyclopedia (1985): "Ashkenazim, the Ashkenazim are one of the two major divisions of the Jews, the other being the Shephardim."
Encyclopedia Americana (1985): "Ashkenazim, the Ashkenazim are the Jews whose ancestors lived in German lands...it was among Ashkenazi Jews that the idea of political Zionism emerged, leading ultimately to the establishment of the state of Israel...In the late 1960s, Ashkenazi Jews numbered some 11 million, about 84 percent of the world Jewish population."
The Jewish Encyclopedia: "Khazars, a non-Semitic, Asiatic, Mongolian tribal nation who emigrated into Eastern Europe about the first century, who were converted as an entire nation to Judaism in the seventh century by the expanding Russian nation which absorbed the entire Khazar population, and who account for the presence in Eastern Europe of the great numbers of Yiddish-speaking Jews in Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Galatia, Besserabia and Rumania."
The Encyclopedia Judaica (1972): "Khazars, a national group of general Turkic type, independent and sovereign in Eastern Europe between the seventh and tenth centuries C.E. During part of this time the leading Khazars professed Judaism...In spite of the negligible information of an archaeological nature, the presence of Jewish groups and the impact of Jewish ideas in Eastern Europe are considerable during the Middle Ages. Groups have been mentioned as migrating to Central Europe from the East often have been referred to as Khazars, thus making it impossible to overlook the possibility that they originated from within the former Khazar Empire."
The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia: "The primary meaning of Ashkenaz and Ashkenazim in Hebrew is Germany and Germans. This may be due to the fact that the home of the ancient ancestors of the Germans is Media, which is the Biblical Ashkenaz...Krauss is of the opinion that in the early medieval ages the Khazars were sometimes referred to as Ashkenazim... About 92 percent of all Jews or approximately 14,500,000 are Ashkenazim."
The American People's encyclopedia for 1954 at 15-292 records the following in reference to the Khazars: "In the year 740 A.D. the Khazars were officially converted to Judaism. A century later they were crushed by the incoming Slavic-speaking people and were scattered over central Europe where they were known as Jews. It is from this grouping that most German, Polish and Hungarian Jews are descended, and they likewise make up a considerable part of that population now found in America. The term Askenazim is applied to this round-headed, dark-complexioned division."

The Kharas of Gog

Prior to and throughout the first decade after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Edomite Pharisees who had been vying for power against the Sadduecees found a friend in King Agrippa (41-44 A.D.)
With the destruction of the Temple, the Sadducees disappeared altogether, leaving the regulation of all Jewish affairs in the hands of the Pharisees.
Henceforth Jewish life was regulated by the teachings of the Pharisees; the whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the Pharisaic point of view, and a new aspect was given to the Sanhedrin of the past. A new chain of tradition supplanted the older, priestly tradition. The 'Tradition of the Elders' was shaped by Pharisaism which shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thoughts of the "Jews" for all the future.
The Pharisees, 2nd Ed., Vol. I. The Jewish Publication Society - 1940, pp. xx-xxi., we find the following quote: "The apogee of Pharisaism is the Talmud of Babylonia...Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name...the spirit of the ancient Pharisees survives unaltered."
Since Jerusalem was destroyed in A.D. 70, the "Jews" have continued to absorb proselytes from all races. The ancient monuments presenting a physiognomy characteristic of the Hittites reveals the total eradication of Israelitish features. History proves that neither literally or spiritually can the modern "Jew" claim to be Abraham's descendants, and their claim to the Holy Land is therefore without foundation.
The Pharisees and the Sadducees were "Jews" as we know them today. Jesus recognized them for what they were when he said in Matthew 3:7: "Oh generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"
In John 8:44 Jesus describes the "Jews" in these words:
"Ye [Jews] 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."
This statement rules out any attempt to establish brotherhood or unity between Nazarenes/Christians, and "Jews" as there cannot be "brotherhood" where there are different spiritual fathers.
We are again told in 2 John 7, 9, 11:
"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jehoshea is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and antichrist...Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him safe travel; for he that biddeth him safe travel is partaker of his evil deeds."
These "Jews" are the same today as they were in the time of the Apostles who taught:
"For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodlymen, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only LORD God, and our Lord Jesus Christ...Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities." -- Jude 1:4,8
The Babylonian Talmud, which is the Jewish holy book, contains the very things which Jude so severely condemns. Benjamin Freedman in his book "Facts are Facts" lists some of the things which Jude calls "speaking evil of dignities." They are as follows:
Midrasch Talpioth (225) - Christians created to minister to Jews always.
Iore Dea (153,2) - Jews must not associate with Christians.
Abhodah Zorah (15b) suggests Christians have sex relations with animals.
Iore Dea (198,48) clean female Jews contaminated on meeting Christians.
Makkoth (7b) innocent of murder if intent was to kill a Christian.
Sepher or Israel (177b) If Jew kills Christian, he commits no sin.
Zohar (11,64b) Christian birth rate must be diminished materially.
Orach Chaim (57,6a) Christians more to be pitied than sick pigs.
Zohar 2 (64b) Christian isolators likened to cows and asses.
Kethuboth (3b) The seed of a Christian is valued as seed of beast.
Eben Haezer (44,8) marriages between Christians and Jews null.
Zohar (1,286) Christian isolators are children of Eve's serpent.
Rosch Haschannach (17b) Non-Jew souls go down to hell.
Hilkoth Akum (ch.lx) forbidden to celebrate Easter and Christmas.
Abhodah Zarah (78c) Christian feast days are despicable, vain and evil.
Sanhedrin (58b) To strike a Jew is like slapping the face of God.
Iore Dea (148,12h) hide hatred for Christians.
Choschen Ham (183,7) keep what Christians overpays in error.
Babha Kama (113b) It is permitted to deceive Christians.
Babha Kama (113a) Jews may lie and perjure to condemn a Christian.
Zohar (1,160a) Jews must always try to deceive Christians.
The above excerpts from the Talmud, as listed by Mr. Freedman, form a clear explanation of why the Bible calls them "filthy dreamers" and "turning the grace of God into lasciviousness" and that we are not to admit them into our home on pain of incurring the displeasure of God. By their own writings they are condemned, speaking evil of dignities.
"As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." -- Romans 9:13
7. The spirit of Edom set against Elohim and Israel
“It is the duty of every Jew to exterminate infidels with one’s own hands - infidels such as the pupils of Jesus of Nazareth.” [The Mishneh Torah] -- Moses Ben Maimone; Talmudist, Philosopher, Astronomer and Physician (1135-1204)
The Code of Maimonides (Mishneh Torah)
The Mishneh Torah (Hebrew: מִשְׁנֶה תּוֹרָה, "Repetition of the Torah") subtitled Sefer Yad ha-Hazaka (ספר יד החזקה "Book of the Strong Hand,") is a code of Jewish religious law (Halakha) authored by Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, also known as RaMBaM or "Rambam"), one of history's foremost rabbis. The Mishneh Torah was compiled between 1170 and 1180 (4930-4940), while Maimonides was living in Egypt, and is regarded as Maimonides' magnum opus. Accordingly, later sources simply refer to the work as "Maimon", "Maimonides" or "RaMBaM", although Maimonides composed other works.
The Mishneh Torah consists of fourteen books, subdivided into sections, chapters, and paragraphs. It is the only Medieval-era work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws that are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in existence, and remains an important work in Judaism.
Maimonides's major contribution to Jewish life remains the Mishneh Torah, his code of Jewish law. His intention was to compose a book that would guide Jews on how to behave in all situations just by reading the Torah and his code, without having to expend large amounts of time searching through the Talmud. Needless to say, this provocative rationale did not endear Maimonides to many traditional Jews, who feared that people would rely on his code and no longer study the Talmud. Despite sometimes intense opposition, the Mishneh Torah became a standard guide to Jewish practice: It later served as the model for the Shulkhan Arukh, the sixteenth century code of Jewish law that is still regarded as authoritative by Orthodox Jews.
Note: This book is still regarded as authoritative by Orthodox Jews, which I must stress, teaches Jews "...to exterminate infidels with one's own hands - infidels such as the pupils of Jesus of Nazareth"
While some within the Jewish community opposed the Mishneh Torah for fear it would stop the study of the Babylonian Talmud, this study of the Talmud retains the Talmud's core message.
“Even the best of the ‘goyim’ should all be killed.” -- Soferim 15
Edom is "The people against whom the Lord has indignation forever" (Malachi 1:4). They never disappeared from history, they simply assumed the name "Jew" and carried on according to the will of their father Esau who is Edom. This is why the nation of Edom continues to work against Elohim and the the nation of Israel.
In 1923, Trotsky, and Lunatcharsky presided over a meeting in Moscow organized by the propaganda section of the Communist party to judge God. Five thousand men of the Red Army were present. The Accused [El Shaddai] was found guilty of various ignominious acts and having had the audacity to fail to appear, He [God] was condemned in default.
An excellent book entitled "Who is Esau-Edom?" covers the life, history, genealogy, prophecy, predestination and modern identity of the scriptural and historical Esau.
While both the Babylonian Talmud and the Mishneh Torah preach hate against others, and their spirit is made evident by the fruit they bare; what was taught unto the disciples of Jesus Christ?
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." -- John 13:34,35
8. The destruction of Israel through Edomite culture
"But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the EHJEH thy Elohim, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:" -- Deuteronomy 28:15
Today the Israelite nations have once more backslidden against the word of God, and of the faith their fathers received, which was the confidence and hope of their returning Messiah. As the once Messianic nations spread the gospel of Jesus, and of his coming kingdom to the furthest corners of the world, they both as people, and nations prospered.
Throughout the last few centuries, Western society has seen many reforms and change. These changes have been brought to pass through the subversion of Israelite culture with Edomite influence, promoted through the mainstream media industry. Old ways once considered exemplary are now seen as being "outdated" and "irrelevant". Therefore these once Messianic nations have turned their hearts away from God and for having once more sought the ways of the world and of the promises offered by the world, these Messianic Israelite nations will once more fall under the curses of Deuteronomy [Chapter 28] which are becoming more evident with every passing day.
Some example of the curses of Deuteronomy in Israel, today, are as follows"
"Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her [1]: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein [2]: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. [3]" Deuteronomy 28:30

But why would these Edomites seek to attack the Israelites? Because as I have stated, they are attempting to remove the yoke from off their necks, with their Edomite/Magog nation ruling over world. However, they know that in order to achieve this, they must destroy the one nation (being the worldwide nation of Israelites, in Christ) which can stop them.
Therefore the question becomes - Who really wants to enslave the world with their 'nation' as the supreme ruler over all?
"And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob." -- Genesis 27: 38-41
"We will openly reveal our identity with the races of Asia and Africa. I can state with assurance that the last generation of white children is now being born. Our Control Commissions will, in the interests of peace and wiping out inter-racial tensions, forbid the Whites to mate with Whites. The White Women must cohabit with members of the dark races, the White Men with black women. Thus the White Race will disappear, for the mixing of the dark with the White means the end of the White Man, and our most dangerous enemy will become only a memory. We shall embark upon an era of ten thousand years of peace and plenty, the Pax Judaica, and our RACE will rule undisputed over the world. Our superior intelligence will easily enable us to retain mastery over a world of dark peoples." ~ RABBI RABINOVICH'S SPEECH OF JANUARY 12TH, 1952

Abolish the White Race: "Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.
“The goal of abolishing the White race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed White supremacists."
"The key to solving the social problems of our age is to abolish the white race."
"we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed--not 'deconstructed' but destroyed."
-- Edomite "Jewish" Harvard Professor Noel Ignatiev.

While it should be clear that Edomite influence is trying to, and has subverted Israelite culture, and made traditional Christian nations lose focus of God; how did they bring about this change?
'Vice President of the United State praised American Jews for playing leading roles in the fight for homosexual marriage, open borders, feminism, “social justice,” and more. Biden said that Jews were one of the biggest factors, if not the single biggest, driving social change in the United States.
Speaking at the Jewish Heritage Month reception of the Democratic National Committee, Joe Biden credited Jewish people in Hollywood for changing the culture of America. He said Jews are responsible for 85% of America’s changing attitude on homosexual marriage. “Think — behind of all that, I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it’s in Hollywood or social media, are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry."
“Jewish heritage has shaped who we are – all of us, us, me – as much or more than any other factor in the last 223 years. And that’s a fact,” said Biden.

Edomite influence in Europe.
While the influence and subversion of Christian Europe, by the Edomites is well recorded, lengthy, and deserving of its own exposition; the obvious control of the Edomites at a political level across the European Union is best shown by the recent remarks of Ursula Von der Leyen, the European Commission President, when she clearly revealled her political positon by stating “Europe holds the values of the Talmud".
As I have already shown, the Talmud is vile and wicked book, which destests all "Non-Jews". So, no Ursula Vod der Leyer, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, or any other Zionist supporting "leader" of the Western Israelite Nations. The Talmud does not share our values. Our nations were founded upon Jesus, who is the Christ. Our nations were built upon the morals, values, ethics, and beliefs as recoded in the Writings of the Nazarenes; The New Testament. And our nations will only survies by turning our hearts back to the faith of our fathers.
Edomite influence in Roman Judea
"But they [the Edomite Jews] cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar." -- John 19:15
"We have no king but Caesar."
Why were the ruling Jews of the time of Jesus Christ, so confident in their ability to have him crucifeid?
Why were they so confident in Rome's allegiance to their cause, and specifically to them?
Perhaps the following letter will shed some light.
"Julius Gaius, Praetor, Consul of the Romans, to the magistrates, council and people of Parium, greeting. The Jews in Delos and some of the neighboring Jews, some of your envoys also being present, have appealed to me and declared that you are preventing them by statute from observing their national customs and sacred rites. Now it displeases me that such statutes should be made against our friends and allies and they should be forbidden to live in accordance with their customs and to contribute money to common meals and sacred rites, for this they are not forbidden to do even in Rome. For example, Gaius Caesar, our consular and praetor, by edict forbade religious societies to assemble in the city, but these people alone he did not forbid to do so or to collect contributions of money or hold common meals. Similarly do I forbid other religious societies but permit these people alone to assemble and feast in accordance with their native customs and ordinances. And if you have made any statutes against our friends and allies, you will do well to revoke them because of their worthy deeds on our behalf and their goodwill towards us." Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, Book 14 (b) (14.213-6)
This letter, preserved by Josephus, dates to 46 B.C. and is from Julius Caesar himself. He responds to the Jews of Delos who had complained against unfair treatment by civic officials. Dated approximately 76 years before the crucifixtion of Jesus Christ, history reveals, that the ruiling Jews prior to the birth of Jesus, had already cemented a deep political alliance with the ruiling head of Rome.
"When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod [an Edomite Jew], who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time." [Luke Chapter 23:6,7]
Why did Pilate send Jesus, unto Herod [The Edomite Jew]?
Historical documents record that Pilate didn’t like the Jews, and that he believed they were a stubborn and rebellious people. Since he was constantly suspicious of the Jews, when they brought him a prisoner for execution he immediately suspected there was a hidden agenda at work. However, as a consummate politician, Pilate had no choice but to make common cause with Caiaphas. By sending Jesus to Herod, he was able to bide his time, and would therefore not appear weak in the sight of the people he ruled.
"Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all] against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin." -- John Chapter 19:10,11
Who is it that has the greater sin?
According to the Jewish Holy Book, the Babylonian Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for idolatry, inciting other Jews to idolatry, and contempt of rabbinical authority. All classical Jewish sources which mention his execution are quite happy to take responsibility for it; in the Talmudic account the Romans are not even mentioned.
The more popular accounts -- which were nevertheless taken quite seriously -- such as the notorious Toldot Yeshu are even worse, for in addition to the above crimes they accuse him of witchcraft. The very name "Jesus" was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable, and this popular tradition still persists. The Gospels are equally detested, and they are not allowed to be quoted (let alone taught) even in modern Israeli Jewish schools.
