False Worship, Mysticism and Taking the Mark

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man WORSHIP THE BEAST and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who WORSHIP THE BEAST and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which WORSHIPPED his image.

Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that WORSHIPPED his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not WORSHIPPED THE BEAST, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Notice how many times worship is mentioned in connection with the mark of the beast.

It is quite clear that worship is important. What we worship is even more relevant. Those that had not God and worshiped the beast or his image or likeness are the ones destroyed. What is this beast with two horns. Although I cannot share who I believe is the two horns I can tell you what I believe they represent. Judean-Christianity. Judaism supporting Christians. Those that claim to love Jesus and the Jew. The Messiah and a religion that hates Yeshua Messiah and speaks abominations which John refers to as the Antichrist. I believe it represents the churches that practice mysticism within, jumping around naming and claiming whatever they feel, having a holy ghost party, tongue speaking and never even opening the book to learn anything but only knowing how to be lead around by their church and elders like a dumb sheep going to slaughter. Believing in every wave of doctrine and having itchy ears needing to be scratched. Fearing satan (not understanding the enemy is within their beliefs) more than having Fear of YHWH. They do worship a beast named Lucifer openly but the worship the first beast unawares.

False worship is serious folks. We need to gird ourselves in truth! Build up our knowledge in truth that no man can take from us. Where moth cannot eat or destroy.  Truth can be hard to handle but what would you prefer, a delusion that will bring you death?

Got Truth? If not GET IT!

Could YOU be An Israelite And Not Know It?

Mission to Israel

“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 [a] 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

1. Israel was to become a great and mighty nation. (Genesis 12:1-3)
2. Israel was to become a vast multitude of people. (Genesis 22:17)
3. Israel was to form a multitude of nations. (Genesis 17:4-6)
4. Israel was to rule over other nations. (Deuteronomy 15:6)
5. Israel was to be a blessing to all nations. (Genesis 22:18)

5 GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS

1. Israel was to have a new home, other than Canaan Land. (2 Samuel 7:10)
2. Israel’s new land was to be inhabited by people gathered from many nations. (Ezekiel 38:8)
3. Israel was to have a land of unwalled villages, without walls, bars or gates. (Ezekiel 38:11)
4. Israel was to have a land of great agricultural wealth. (Deuteronomy 28:8-11)
5. Israel’s land was described as being the “camp of the saints.” (Revelations 20:7-9)

5 SPIRITUAL ASPECTS

1. Israel was to have a new religion and be saved by Yahweh. (Jeremiah 31:7,31-37)
2. Israel was to carry the gospel to all the world. (Isaiah 49:3-6)
3. Israel was to be the only nation given God’s Law. (Psalm 147:19-20)
4. Israel was to be blind for the most part to her identity. (Isaiah 42:16-19)
5. 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.

The exclusiveness of Israel in the OLD TESTAMENT

The exclusiveness of Israel in the OLD TESTAMENT

By Arnold Kennedy

http://www.arnoldkennedy.com/Assets/the%20exclusiveness%20of%20israel%20in%20the%20ot.pdf
There are two very interesting facts found in both Testaments that are not commonly accepted.
Firstly there are the many statements that show that God redeems those who were already His
people prior to the redemptive act, for example, Psalm 111:9, He sent redemption unto his people or
Luke 1:68, for he hath visited and redeemed his people. The second interesting fact that will be
seen in these Scriptures is that what is commonly known as “The Law” as a covenant was given to
Israel as a race and it states that it was not given to any other race or people.
These two Biblical facts run counter to popular teachings today that have almost universal
acceptance. What is really being taught today is that all races are the same with respect to the
broken Law. We do not find this being witnessed in the Old Testament Law and the Prophets. In
the New Testament, we still find reference to the Twelve Tribes of Israel; they have in no way
disappeared. In this study, it is recommended that you forget what you currently know about the
words, Gentile, Jews, and The Church and have another look. We will start by quoting Scriptures
making comment upon them.
A BOOK BY BOOK LOOK AT THE EXCLUSIVENESS OF ISRAEL
The verses listed below are all addressed to Israel and not to anyone else! In reading them, please
take note of the emphasised words in each verse to see that this is so.
Exodus 6:7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be unto you a God: and ye
shall know that I am the Lord your God …
We start here with the separation of Israel from other peoples. God, who is addressing Israel, is
saying that He will be the God of this one people. Here it is Jehovah who is Israel’s creator.
Throughout the Bible we cannot find any specific verse which says the God of the Bible is other
than the God of Israel.
Exodus 19:5,6 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then
ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people, for all the earth is
mine. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.
The words above all people immediately states that there is a different relationship established
between God and Israel that does not apply to other races. It was Jesus who later said that unless a
person was born from above he would not be able to see the Kingdom of Heaven, confirming they
must come from the same people. The very Greek prefix ano suggests “upwards” or “superior”.
Furthermore, the expressions Kingdom of Priests and an holy nation as a direct quotation is found
in 1 Peter 2:9 [a royal priesthood] showing the people are the same. No other race is spoken of in
this same unique way.
Lev 20:26. Ye shall be holy [separate] unto me, for I the Lord am holy, and have severed
you from other people, that ye should be mine.
Here we find a clarity which witnesses the racial separation of Israel from other races. The Hebrew
word badal’ means to separate, distinguish, select, divide and to sever utterly. The basic meaning
of the words holy and holiness in both Testaments conveys the idea of being separate or set apart.
God Himself is spoken of as The Holy One of Israel, but never as being the Holy One of any other
race. Thus, in both Testaments, a holy nation means a “separated” nation. The Holy Spirit is also
the Spirit of separation upon the holy nation. In Scripture we can find reference to The Holy People
[Daniel 8:24], referring to Israel. When God severed Israel from the other races, there is no indication that the separation was to be for any limited period. In fact, it is the opposite that is
shown.
Deut 4:7,8. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them … what
nation is there so great that hath statutes and judgements so righteous as all
this law, which I set before you this day.
This verse establishes that the Law was given to Israel alone. Moses, speaking to Israel alone,
declares in verse 13 that this involves the Ten Commandments. The Old Testament was made with
Israel alone, even if there were a mixed multitude present with them at that time. The issue here is
law and covenant relationship.
Deut 4:37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them …
The genetic relationship between fathers and seed cannot be avoided! This reference continues
through the New Testament!
Deut 7:6 For thou art an holy [separate] people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy
God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all the
people that are upon face of the earth.
This is not a popular teaching, but it is one of the early Bible statements about the unique, racially
exclusive, place of Israel among all the other races. If Israel was to disappear as a race from the
Bible, prophecy would forecast this. In the New Testament, Paul asks the question, Hath God cast
away His people? – No! – God forbid [Rom 11:1]. At that point in time, Israel was separated into
two Houses of whom “part” were blinded [v7], but Israel as a whole hath not obtained.
Deut 32:9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance.
There is not one Scripture anywhere which says any race other than Israel is genetically God’s
inheritance.
Deut 33:29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like thee, O people saved by the Lord …
People are taught or like to think that God is unbiased or unselective, but as a Sovereign God He
can do whatever pleases Him. Paul says, and so ALL ISRAEL shall be saved [Romans 11:26].
Numbers 23:9 … lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the
nations.
In the New Testament, the call is still to come out from among THEM and touch not the unclean. It
is God who made this sexual or physical separation for all time. Israel is not to interact with other
races in any such common purpose or become unequally yoked with other races, particularly with
their idols. This brings God’s judgement upon transgressors.
2 Sam 7:23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom
God went to redeem for a people to himself and to make him a name …
We must note the singular emphasis here which tells us the same story about Israel being the one
people Jesus came to redeem.
Psalm 78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a Law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers …
The triad, Jacob, Israel and fathers is a three fold bond that cannot be broken. Again we find here
the confirmation that the Law was given to Israel. In the New Testament, we find the same expressions, fathers, Jacob and Israel which show the New Testament is addressed to the same
people – those who had the Old Testament. That is, they are all Israelites by race.
Psalm 147:19,20 He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgements
unto Israel. … as for his judgements, they [the other races] have not known
them.
This is a very clear statement that His Word is not given to other races! This is not a popular
concept or teaching but it is confirmed in both Testaments. But if God declares that He hath not
dealt so with any nation, we dare not question it! Israel is unique by God’s sovereign choice.
Psalm 148:14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even the
children of Israel, a people near to him.
This Scripture defines who and who only are saints. Saints appears in the New Testament without
any new definition. It is God who made this separation for all time. Also, we do not find other
races being “near” to God.
Isaiah 41:8-9 But thou, Israel art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of
Abraham my friend.
“The seed” – this word is very important, as it defines which part of Abraham’s seed is continually
referred to in both Testaments, as being God’s people racially. Not all the nations which spring
from Abraham are regarded as his seed. Only the nation ‘named’ or ‘called’ IN Isaac is to be so
regarded. Jacob and his descendants were accepted as this seed. To show this, Jacob was named
‘Israel’ – that is, he was given God’s name. Thus Jacob was the seed named in Isaac.
Isaiah 43:1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed
thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy
name; thou art mine.
This verse includes the words, “created” and “formed” that are not the same. Jacob was created,
but Israel was formed
Formed yatsar To fashion, form or make.
Created bara In context, this is to create.
Redeemed gawal Bought back, ransomed, recovered or avenged.
These things are never said of any other race. If God chose every race there would be no election,
choosing or buying back. All mankind would be the same! These expressions continue through the
New Testament. Do they sound familiar? There is a difference between the expressions the sons of
Jacob and the children of Israel through Scripture, one being ‘created’ with the other being
‘formed’. Those ‘formed’ by fully believing God come from among those who are the natural
descendants. We find a similar difference between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.
Isaiah 45:4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee
by thy name: I have surnamed thee …
Note: the elect is an important term also which defines God’s selection of a people [singular] which
is genetic [national Israel]. Elect or bachiyr means “chosen one” [singular]. Jesus and the New
Testament writers use the term in a way that does not change.

Isaiah 46:3 Hearken unto me, O House of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of
Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the
womb.
Note: This defines the racial origin of Israel as being from the womb of Sarah [see also
Isaiah 51:1,2, the hole of the pit]. This is expanded later in this book.
Isaiah 49:3 … thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
This shows Israel is God’s servant people. This again is a continuing expression which is used of
those fulfilling God’s purposes. “Servant” is sometimes applied to other races which God is using
to discipline Israel so that Israel might glorify God. God does not say that He will be glorified in
any other race but Israel. In the New Testament we will see that and they glorified the God of
Israel [Matthew 15:31].
Isaiah 53:8 … for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
My people here are either God’s people or Isaiah’s people (who are the same people). It is popular
to extend this limitation so that other races can be included. This is not valid; they are Israel only.
This much-loved chapter with its all we like sheep have gone astray speaks of Jesus being wounded
for our transgressions with mention of we and our. My people went down aforetime into Egypt to
sojourn there in Isaiah 52:4 gives expression and positive identity of the people being addressed
and this follows through to the following chapter. The “sheep” who had gone astray are the ones
whom the Good Shepherd came to seek and to save.
Isaiah 59:20,21 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from
transgression in Jacob saith the Lord. As for me, this is my covenant with
them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have
put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of
thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from
henceforth and for ever.
It is impossible to spiritualise seed or “seed’s seed”; they are genetic terms which are on-going.
There does not appear to be a single reference to any other nation than Israel to whom the
Redeemer would come. He is always The Redeemer of Israel and it is, as stated, to be forever.
Jesus came to visit and redeem His People [Luke 1:68]. Jesus is the Kinsman-Redeemer of Israel.
There is never any suggestion of any others than Israel being redeemed. From which broken Lawcovenant
would the other races need redeeming? Recall again how only Israel was given the
statutes and judgements and only Israel needed redemption from that Law which they had broken.
We see that the covenant is for all generations to seed’s seed of Jacob, and it is to those who turn
from transgression in JACOB whom the Redeemer saves. Here again we have the Spirit which is of
the anointed race. Israel has My Spirit which IS upon thee. This is not commonly taught today. We
will see that this is the same presentation as that in the New Testament, believe it or not. This
Scripture is not acceptable to tradition. Guess why? It is because racial Israel stays exclusive as
being Jacob’s seed.
Jer 50:4 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the Children of Israel shall
come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall
go, and seek the Lord their God.
A much talked about subject is the regathering of Israel which is supposed to be presently taking
place in Palestine, but and at that time is not the present activity in the Israeli state. What is being
established is just who is to be regathered. Is it a multi-racial church or is it only the House of Israel and the House of Judah [that is, the Twelve Tribes of Israel]? The latter is the consistent and
frequent Biblical presentation, as it is in the verse above [see also Ezekiel 37:15-28 in particular].
The picture painted is always of a still very exclusive Israel. The House of Israel and the House of
Judah are exclusive from the heathen races all around. This shows that at the end of the New
Testament age they are still exclusive. So they must be exclusive through the New Testament age,
even until the regathering. Note that there is no pattern of prophecy which presents a non-Israel
content in the regathering, so something must be wrong with the traditional teachings.
Jer 51:19 The portion of Jacob is not like them [that is, Babylon]; for he [that is, Israel]
is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of His inheritance: the Lord
of Hosts is his name.
This completely excludes “Babylon” from God’s inheritance. The timing of this event is at the end
of the New Testament age. Again, national Israel must go through the age. Israel is to be the rod
over the other races to rule with God. Israel means Ruling with God. Ruling over whom if all races
are the same?
Ezek 37:26-28 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them … and the heathen shall know that I the Lord
do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for
evermore.
This shows that God’s covenant is with Israel alone, and that the other races will be aware of this
when God comes to dwell with His People Israel. The timing, again, is the end of the age at Jesus’
return and when God’s sanctuary is in the midst of Israel and nowhere else.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up … which standeth for the children of
thy [Daniel’s] people: …
At the end of the age it is still only thy people who are delivered. Israel is still in existence as a
people at the time of the end and through the New Testament age. Michael does not stand up for
other races.
Hosea 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered
together, …
This and other quotations from the minor prophets are included to show the “unity of the
Scriptures” that always presents the exclusive nature of Israel. Hosea again defines who is
regathered, and also the timing. We will see that the children of Judah and the children of Israel
are not united until this time. There is no suggestion of there being any other race, or of a multiracial
“Church” comprising of “Jews and Gentiles”, as being part of the regathering of the remnant
of Israel in these minor prophets. It is always the two Houses who are regathered and come
together.
Hosea 14:1-5 O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God … I will be as the dew unto Israel: …
This is at the time of the regathering when Israel as a nation returns to The Lord Thy God. [v9, Who
is wise … he shall understand these things]. No other race is being asked to return to Israel’s God.
Joel 2:27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel …
Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshapet, and will plead with them there for my people and for my
heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my
land.
Again, there is no change prophetically about which nation God is in the midst of or which nation
He will be in the midst of at this future time.
Amos 3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: …
The word used for known cannot be treated fully here, but it does not mean to acknowledge. It is
used more as to recognise as a fact, revelation knowledge or to discern in an intimate and chosen
way. Here there is the complete isolation of Israel from the other races.
Note: This is important when we come to the New Testament where it refers to those who
were foreknown of God. This identifies the people as being the same nation in both
Testaments; those who were foreknown in the New Testament are those who were known in
the Old Testament.
Micah 2:12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant
of Israel: …
Are there still any lingering doubts that no other races are ever mentioned at this time of
regathering?
Habakkuk 3:13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy People, …
Zephaniah 3:13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, …
There are a host of other Old Testament Scriptures that could have been quoted.
GOD PLACES HIS NAME ON THE ONE PEOPLE
Numerous references refer to “My name” as being placed upon the Children of Israel. For example:
Deut 28:10 And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of
the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
Numbers 6:27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless
them.
Deut 26:19 And to make thee [that is, Israel] high above all nations which he hath made,
in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy
[separate] people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
The name of Jehovah [AV The Lord] is exclusive upon Israel as a race. All the people of the earth
then does not include the Children of Israel, in this case. The name placed upon the Children of
Israel who obey God is that of Jehovah Himself. God Himself decides just where He will place His
Name, whether it be on a people or a place [Deut 26:2: which the Lord THY God shall choose to
place His Name there].
This separation of Israel from all the other races is always distinct, but their blessing is conditional
upon their obedience. In the next chapter we can now look at the New Testament in the light of
what we have seen in the Old Testament.

Two Witnesses of Revelation

Duo martus (Two Witnesses) Identified

According to the revelation given to Apostle John, Yahweh will have two witnesses that He will give power to prophecy in the end times. The Greek words used for ‘two witnesses’ are ‘duo martus’. Many in the Christianity movement claim to know whom these two will be. Some say Elijah and Enoch since they were “taken” by Yahweh.

²⁴And Enoch walked with Elohim and he [was] not; for Elohim took him. Genesis 5:24

¹¹And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 2 Kings 2:11

⁵By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because Elohim had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased Elohim. Hebrews 11:5

Some today in Christianity think it could be Moses. It appears that many of today’s Christians have never taken the time to truly study the Old Testament. I myself at one time called myself a Christian and believed by my own knowledge these two witnesses to be Elijah and Enoch, until that is, I studied and allowed Yahweh to open my blind eyes. Until Yahweh opened my eyes, I couldn’t make any sense at all of the Old Testament. Many answers to New Testament questions, however, are found in the Old Testament. When the Apostles preached and spread the gospel of Yeshua the Messiah, they had full knowledge of what the law and prophets had said in what we call the Old Testament, the first five books being the Torah. If we take the time to examine and study, we can unlock all the answers that Yahweh has for us to know.

So can we identify the duo martus?

ABSOLUTELY!!

¹And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of Yahweh, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

²But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.

³And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

⁴These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before Yahweh Elohim of the earth. Revelations 11:1-4

¹⁶I Yeshua have sent mine angel (John) to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star. Revelations 22:16

In verse 2 John is told to not measure the outer courts or that outside the temple. This was to be given to the Gentiles or nations, as it should read. Who will be their messenger? Lets look at the next verse and see what it says and we will find in verse 3 it states, AND I will give unto my two witnesses and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days clothed in sackcloth. So we see that the nations will have these two witnesses, duo martus, witnessing the word and truth of Yahweh and testimony of Yeshua as being the Messiah. Also by wearing sackcloth we know by scripture that these witnesses will be in official mourning.

¹²And in that day did Yahweh Elohim of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: Isaiah 22:12

So who are these two? Does the bible tell us?

ABSOLUTELY!

Lets look at verse 4 now. It read that these are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the Elohim of the earth. Olive trees and candlesticks? Looks like we need to travel back to the Old Testament for some answers.

1 But now thus saith Yahweh that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. Isaiah 43:1

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith Yahweh, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no Elohim formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange Elohim among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Yahweh, that I am Elohim. Isaiah 43:10-12

1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

2 Thus saith Yahweh that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

5 One shall say, I am Yahweh’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Yahweh, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

6 Thus saith Yahweh the King of Israel, and his redeemer Yahweh of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no Elohim.

7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a Elohim beside me? yea, there is no Elohim; I know not any. Isaiah 44:1-8

With that said it is time for a short history lesson. Most Christians do not even realize that Israel split into two kingdoms after the death of King Solomon. Many know of or have heard of the ten lost tribes of Israel but few have really looked into what happened to them. You can read more on the split in

1 Kings 12 and 2 Chronicles 10. Ultimately we have a Southern Kingdom and a Northern Kingdom. The Southern Kingdom becomes the House of Judah containing the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and eventually Levi (the priesthood bloodline).

21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
1 Kings 12:21

12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
2 Chron 11:12

The Northern Kingdom became the House of Israel also referred to as Ephraim. It consisted of the 10 tribes that are believed to be lost today. They are Ephraim, Manasseh, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun and Dan.

Now you may ask, where is Joseph? The answer is quite easy. Ephraim and Manasseh are Joseph’s sons. Joseph’s youngest son Ephraim led the Northern Kingdom. Joseph’s tribe is represented with Ephraim. Like Jacob (Israel) in the story of Jacob and Esau, Ephraim received from his grandfather Jacob (Israel) the double portion blessing of the first-born son even though Manasseh was the first-born son to Joseph.

14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.

15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, Elohim, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the Elohim which fed me all my life long unto this day,

16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.

18 And Joseph said unto his father, not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, Elohim make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but Elohim shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. Genesis 48:14-22

Joseph and Ephraim are in the same tribe – a double portion.

So we can see by scriptures that Israel split and became two kingdoms.

In Isaiah 43 & 44 previous mentioned it calls Jacob/Israel Yahweh’s witnesses.

16 Yahweh called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. 17For Yahweh of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. Jeremiah 11:16-17

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Yahweh unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts.

7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

8 Moreover the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying,

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that Yahweh of hosts hath sent me unto you.

10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of Yahweh, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?

12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by Yahweh of the whole earth. Zech 4:1-14

The two olive trees are “the anointed ones” – who stand beside Yahweh of the whole earth.

With that in mind, we can reread Revelations 11:4

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the Elohim of the earth.

Wow! Scripture comes to life! Here we see that the olive trees are symbolic of the house of Judah & Israel.

After the split, Yahweh allowed the two kingdoms to become captured and then scattered the northern tribes into other nations and allowed them to forget their identities as well as Yahweh and His name. They had no idea who they were and today many still haven’t a clue who they are or who they call their Elohim. They may have forgotten and lost their identities and Yahweh’s as well but stand assured that Yahweh never lost anyone.

44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am Yahweh their Elohim.

45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their Elohim: I am Yahweh. Leviticus 26:44-45

1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

2 Thus saith Yahweh that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

5 One shall say, I am Yahweh’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Yahweh, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

6 Thus saith Yahweh the King of Israel, and his redeemer Yahweh of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no Elohim.

7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a Elohim beside me? yea, there is no Elohim; I know not any.

9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

10 Who hath formed a Elohim, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?

11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.

13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a Elohim, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

17 And the residue thereof he maketh a Elohim, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my Elohim.

18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. Isaiah 44:1-21

17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. Ezekiel 36:17-19

1 At the same time, saith Yahweh, will I be the Elohim of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

2 Thus saith Yahweh, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

3 Yahweh hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto Yahweh our Elohim.

7 For thus saith Yahweh; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Jeremiah 31:1-7

8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. Hosea 8:8

Now for a quick look into the New Testament for the olive trees.

16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

21 For if Elohim spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Romans 11:16-21

Paul is talking about an olive tree being grafted with a wild olive tree’s branches. The olive tree is the House of Judah and the branch of the wild tree is the House of Israel. The natural branches on the olive tree were cut off due to their unbelief. The tree branches were replaced with wild branches (Gentiles aka House of Israel). They lost their identity and never remembered living knowing Yahweh.

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Romans 11:25

Not only was Israel blind to the truth but Judah also. That is until the fullness of the Gentiles or nations of Israel (tribes) has come.

19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. Genesis 48:19

Ephraim and his seed shall become the fullness of the nations.

22 What if Elohim, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living Elohim. Romans 9:22-26

The lost tribes that were put away for their sins will be brought back and called by Yahweh.

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them Elohim was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 1 Corinthians 10:1-5

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 1 Corinthians 12:2

Paul identifies himself and those in Corinth as being the descendants of the Israelites brought out of Egypt.

6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of Elohim, unto our fathers: Acts 26:6

Paul makes known that he knew the background nationality of the gentiles he was sent to preach to concerning the gospel.

1 James, a servant of Elohim and of Yahweh Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. James 1:1

James fully knew the believers identity when he added them to his letter.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:16

Yeshua himself tells his disciples he has others not in that group. He was speaking of the lost tribes, the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 15:24

44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:44

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

John 6:65

Those given to Yeshua by Yahweh are the physical Israelites from both the house of Judah and the House of Israel – Ephraim. They are the two olive trees, duo martus, of Revelations 11.

We now can look for the candlesticks in Revelations 11:4.

1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Elohim: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohim in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. Revelations 7:1-8

These are the ones that have the seal (name) of Yahweh and the testimony of Yeshua as the Messiah. These 144,000 (a completed number) from the 12 tribes of the ONE House of Israel make up the two witnesses.

The duo martus identified.

All this and more can be found and learned by simply applying the following as we are instructed to do.

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto Elohim, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15

Identity matters. By studying we can find our identities and better understand Yahweh’s word and our part in fulfilling His will.

All scripture was taken from the King James Version unless noted.

The sacred names of Elohim and the Messiah have been changed to their actual Hebrew names because that is the preference of the author of this article.

Come Out of Her My People

Come out of her my people

That you do not engage in her sins

Now is the time for the trumpet

Listen closely, you will hear the call

I am coming for you my queen

I am waiting until it is time

The wisdom that I gave you

To open your eyes… I am alive

Be weary of dreamers of dreams

And prophets that love to scheme

Remember I am the way to life

There is no other but me…

Come out of false doctrines of devils

That you not engage in her ways

Time is approaching for my return

I am coming…….in the end….

Do not be afraid and worry not

Remember my words this day

If I knew when I was to return, I would have said

But only the father knows when you are ready

Then I will return for you.

I will put my seal upon your hearts

And in your minds and your actions reflect on me

I am gathering you the time is at hand

I am coming again….soon

Come out of false beliefs my people

That you not engage in the ways of man

Now is the time I am coming again

Come out and know that I am your King

And you are my queen

(Here is the patience of the saints that they believe in my father that they keep his commandments and all of his ways and that they believe upon me)

Lost Tribes of the Bible FOUND!!

ISRAEL’S IDENTITY IT MATTERS!

this article is found on www.missiontoisrael.org

Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a “Jew” and to call a contemporary Jew an “Israelite” or a “Hebrew.
“1 -The Jewish Almanac

Here’s a paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox: an anthropological fact, many [Caucasian] Christians … have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors.2 -Alfred M.
Lilienthal

The Jewish Almanac’s and Mr. Lilienthal’s assertions are not only anthropological facts, they are also biblical, historical and archaeological facts3 that should be compelling to all who hear them.
The true identity of today’s Israelites is a fact that has profound effects, yet it is often indifferently brushed aside with the question – “What difference does it make?”

Occasionally this question is asked by people in an honest attempt to discover the importance of the Christian Israel message. However, it is often asked by people who do not want to know what difference it makes. “What difference does it make?” is frequently posed by those who recognize, to some degree, the validity of the Christian Israel message and who are unable to dispute it. Their very question presupposes this conclusion. Only people who acknowledge that the Celto-Saxon people,* rather than the Jews,4 are today’s Israelites would ask this question. However, as with nearly everything Christian, there are two types of believers – those who put to practice what they believe, and those who live their lives as if they do not believe when in fact they really do.

*The “Celto-Saxons” mentioned throughout this article refers to the Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Germanic, Celtic and kindred peoples.

Most people employ this question in an attempt to minimize the importance of Israel’s modern identity so they can justify their refusal to embrace it. If properly identifying today’s Israelites makes no difference, then they do not have to act upon that belief.

The question implies that the facts are correct. Consequently, people who ask this question insincerely are really asking, “What difference does truth make?” All truth makes a difference. Yeshua* declared that “…ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)** This maxim applies to more than merely the truth pertaining to Yeshua and His atoning blood sacrifice. In some way, to some degree all truth sets us free, if not from anything else, from fallacy, error and lies. Granted, not all truth is of equal importance or of equal consequence. The fact that zebra stripes are black and not white is not as consequential as the truth of gravity. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the truth concerning zebra stripes is unimportant. The truth regarding the redeeming qualities of the blood of Yeshua our Savior is far more consequential than the truth concerning the identity of modern Israel. Nevertheless, this does not mean that Israel’s identity is unimportant. It matters, if for no other reason, than because truth matters. However, there are far more consequential reasons why the Christian Israel truth matters than just because it is true.

*”Yeshua” is the English transliteration of our Savior’s Hebrew name and is preferred by the author.

**All Scripture is quoted from the King James Bible unless otherwise noted.

To Whom Does Israel’s Identity Matter?

In discussing to whom Israel’s identity matters, it will become apparent why Israel’s identity matters.

It Matters to Today’s Edomite Jews

Israel’s identity matters to the Edomite Jews* living today or they would not fallaciously claim to be Israel.

*Today’s Jews are Edomites by way of intermarriage between their Khazar ancestors and the Edomites.

It is ironic that today’s imposters use every means conceivable to convince the rest of the world that they are Israel, while admitting in their own almanacs, encyclopedias, and historical writings that they are not Israel.7 It is also ironic that these imposters want the world to think that they are Israel whereas most genuine Israelites do not care who they are. This is the reverse of what occurred between Jacob and Esau – the progenitors of today’s Israelites and Edomites.
It was Esau, father of the Edomites, who despised his birthright:

…Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife…. And … Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, … why am I thus? …YHWH* said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red … and they called his name Esau. And after that came his brother out … and his name was called Jacob…. And Jacob [after he was grown] sod pottage: and Esau came from the field…. And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me … with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles … thus Esau despised his birthright.
(Genesis 25:20-33)

*Where the Tetragrammaton “YHWH” (the four Hebrew characters that represent the personal name of God) has been incorrectly rendered as “the LORD” or “GOD” in Scripture, the author has taken the liberty to correct those passages and insert “YHWH.
“8

Esau despised his birthright and sold it for a mess of pottage. In other words, he got beans for it. While Esau did not esteem the birthright, Jacob did. However, it is the exact opposite today. Today’s Jews, descendants of Esau, value the birthright enough that they attempt to get it back by hook or crook, whereas most of today’s Israelites, Jacob’s Celto-Saxon descendants, despise their heritage. This is particularly true of Christian Israelites.
Furthermore, many of today’s Israelites are not even getting beans for the birthright; they are throwing it away with the trite question – “What difference does it make?”

It Matters to Israel’s Enemies

Israel’s identity matters to her enemies, demonstrated by their efforts to wipe the name “Israel” from the memory of man by any means possible, even genocide.
This was true in the Patriarch David’s day and it is no different today:

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee.
(Psalm 83:1-5)

It was the Edomites, progenitors of today’s Jews, who were foremost in this confederate plot to destroy Israel:

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen [helped] the children of Lot….
(Psalm 83:6-8)

This craftiness continues today. Although Edom has been unable to erase altogether the true identity of Israel, they have done the next best thing by applying the name “Israel” to non-Israelites, thus obscuring the recognition, heritage and rewards due the rightful descendants of Jacob. Today’s imposters actually use the name Israel sparingly. They prefer to be called “Jews,” “Israelis” or “Zionists.
“

In 500 BC while expounding upon this type of warfare tactic, Chinese philosopher and general, Sun Tzu, declared the importance of not only knowing yourself but of also correctly identifying your enemy:

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. .
9

Most Celto-Saxons, secularists and Christians alike, find themselves in the latter of these three conditions; they neither know who they are nor who their enemies are.
Yahweh issued a similar observation over a century prior to Sun Tzu:

My people [Israel] are destroyed for lack of knowledge….
(Hosea 4:6)

The seriousness of misidentification can be illustrated by the following analogy: for people who eat mushrooms, it is crucial that they know the difference between a mushroom and a toadstool. A mistake in identification could be fatal. Misidentifying Celto-Saxons as non-Israelite gentiles and Jews as Israelites is just as fatal to Christianity. These two errors of identification have blinded the world to the machinations of Talmudism and have rendered most Christians defenseless “for fear of the Jews” – John 7:13.

Those who identify the Jews as Israel usually consider the Jews as allies of America and the other Christian nations. There is not a better way for your enemy to destroy you than by convincing you that he is your ally. The Prophet Micah warns us to beware of those who cry, “Peace,” yet who at the same time declare holy war – Micah 3:5. Dr.
Benjamin Freedman, a Jew, tried to alert Christians to their enemies:

The history of the world for the past several centuries and current events at home and abroad, confirm the existence of a conspiracy to destroy Christian civilization. The world-wide plot of these diabolical conspirators has been implemented while most Christians have been asleep. The Christian clergy seem to be more ignorant and indifferent to this plot than other Christians. They seem to bury their heads in the sands of indifference and ignorance like the legendary ostrich. This ignorance and indifference has dealt a severe blow to the Christian faith…. The confusion … is unwarranted and unjustified. It need not exist. It would not exist if the Christian clergy did not aid and abet the deceptions responsible for it. The Christian clergy may be shocked to learn that they have been aiding and abetting [the Jews] the dedicated enemies of the Christian faith. Many of the Christian clergy are actually their allies but may not know it.
10

As a consequence of misidentifying ourselves, and not recognizing that there exists an enemy dedicated to destroying the Christian faith, many Christians have become “bed-fellows” with an enemy whose intent is to destroy us.
The following testimonies to this diabolical plot to destroy Christianity come from Jews themselves:

…the peculiar and chosen race [Jews misnamed] touch the hand of all the scum and low castes of Europe! And all this because they [the Jews] wish to destroy that ungrateful Christendom….
11

Every hundred years, We, the sages of Israel [Judaism] … meet in Sanhedrin [an assembly of Jewish leaders] in order to examine our progress towards the domination of the world … and our conquests over the enemy – Christianity.
12

…only years divide us from the moment of the complete wrecking of that Christian religion….
13

…they [the Jews] are the enemies of God and Jesus Christ … in their daily prayers they curse the Savior [Yeshua the Christ] under the name of the Nazarene; they build new synagogues as if to insult the Christian religion…. In brief, “there is no wickedness in the world which the Jews are not guilty of, so that they seem to aim at nothing but the Christians’ ruin.
” 14

The Jews did not stop there…. Their activity was such as to give rise to … the existence of a secret [Jewish] society sworn to the destruction of Christianity.
15

…attacking all dogmas and forms of Christianity with a bitterness entirely Judaic….
16

The Jew … is not content merely to destroy Christianity, but he preaches the gospel of Judaism [Talmudism]…. He is engaged in his historic mission, the annihilation of the religion of Christ.
17

Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity…. The very name “Jesus” was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable, and this popular tradition still persists.
18

Additionally, the leaders of the Celto-Saxon nations and their media have bought the lie that today’s Jews are God’s chosen people. These leaders and their media slander and malign preachers and adherents of the Christian Israel message for merely pointing out that there has been a case of mistaken identity. Nothing has changed since the Patriarch David wrote Psalm 83 – “They have taken crafty counsel against thy people … that the name [or identity] of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
“

Israel’s enemies want to destroy her with their lies; however, it is the truth of Israel’s identity that will some day expose her enemies as the imposters and liars they are:

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
(Matthew 10:26)

It Matters to True Israel

Israel’s identity matters to true Israel in almost every sphere of life – politically, economically, socially, spiritually and morally. The impact upon the Celto-Saxon people worldwide would be earthshaking if they were to discover their Israelite roots. This does not mean that the answer for these nations is in discovering their Israelite heritage alone. However, one cannot come to know his Israelite legacy and not be drawn back, in some degree, to Yahweh and His laws, which is the answer for these nations. Therein is our hope and the hope of our children.

It Matters to All Future Generations of Israel’s Children

Israel’s identity matters to all future generations of Israelites. Children suffer when their parents either squander or give away their legacy. This is precisely what is happening to Israel’s inheritance.
The Apostle Paul answers in part the question, “What inheritance?

…I [the Apostle Paul] could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth [belongs NASV] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came….
(Romans 9:3-5)

Tragically, it is fitting for a generation that are squandering Israel’s inheritance to see grandparents driving travel homes with bumper stickers that read: “We’re spending our children’s inheritance!” They ought to have a companion bumper sticker that reads: “We’re destroying our children’s heritage and their future with it!”

Peter Marshal, co-author of The Light and The Glory,19 pointed out that America is in the state she is because we do not know who we are*:

…the basic problem across our land today is we Americans don’t know who we are or why we’re here…. We’ve lost our sense of purpose and destiny…. It’s very simple: if we don’t know who we’re supposed to be, we don’t know how to fix things. It’s just that basic…. We need God’s solution now. And step one of that is to recover the truth about our heritage.
20

*Peter Marshall’s comments were in reference to America’s Christian roots. His statements are just as valid and pertinent when applied to Celto-Saxondom’s Israelite roots.

American poet Carl Sandburg put it similarly:

…when a nation goes down … when a society or a civilization perishes, one condition may always be found. They forgot where they came from.
21

Karl Marx understood this all too well:

Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily persuaded [and conquered].
22

Could this be the reason for Yahweh’s admonition by way of the Prophet Isaiah:

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek YHWH: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
(Isaiah 51:1-2)

Yahweh then reveals the rewards and joys that result from seeking Him and from looking back to our identity by way of our forefathers:

…YHWH shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of YHWH; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
(Isaiah 51:3)

The nation we are bequeathing to our children is spiritually bankrupt and morally decadent, in part, because we have rejected our identity as Israelites and our corporate relationship with our God. If you care about your children’s future, point them back to Yahweh their God and share with them their heritage as Israelites.

It Matters to the Arabs

Israel’s identity certainly matters to the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who have been displaced or whose relatives have been murdered because today’s Edomite Jews are misidentified as Israelites. These Edomite Jews, under the pretense of being Israelites, have laid claim to the land of Palestine. However, as cogently pointed out by the Jewish author, Dr. Benjamin Freedman, this claim has no genetic, geographic or historical basis. Dr.
Freedman, in a letter written to and published in New York’s National Economic Council’s Newsletter in 1947, testified to this theft:

Popular ignorance of the real basis of political Zionism is beyond calculation. Vaguely most Christian Americans have the idea that the Jews claim Palestine because it was the “promised land” in which they lived for a period of a few centuries that ended 2000 years ago. And the thought of a people returning to its “homeland” seems emotionally satisfying and good.

But here are facts most Americans do not know:

Political Zionism is almost exclusively a movement by the Jews of Europe. But these Eastern European Jews have neither a racial [Israelite] nor a historic connection with Palestine [except by way of their Edomite lineage]. Their ancestors were not inhabitants of the “Promised Land.” They are the direct descendants of the people of the Khazar Kingdom [whose ancestors intermarried with Edomites], which existed until the 12th century.

The Khazars were [principally] a non-Semitic … Mongolian tribal people who, about the 1st century A.D., emigrated from Middle Asia to Eastern Europe…. About the 7th century A.D., the King of the Khazars adopted Judaism as the state religion, and the majority of inhabitants joined him in the new allegiance. Before that date there was no such thing as a Khazar who was a Jew [Judahite Israelite]. Neither then nor since was there such a thing as a Khazar whose ancestors had come from the Holy Land. The Semitic people who established Judaism in Palestine many centuries before the Khazars became converts to the Hebrew faith, did mostly emigrate from Palestine. But none of them [Semitic Judahites] emigrated to the Khazar Kingdom far to the North. 23 [Dr. Freedman erred concerning a connection between Judaism and the Hebrew faith. Judaism or Talmudism, a corrupt and blasphemous religion brought back from Babylon to Judea, has little to do with the Hebrew faith of the Old Covenant.
]

In view of this fact, what becomes of the cry for “repatriation” to the “homeland”? These Eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews have no historic or racial [Israelite] connection with Palestine….

…if the Indians should demand America back, would we all pack up and return to the lands of our ancestral origins? Yet the Arabs have been in Palestine a thousand years longer than we have been here [in America].
And if the claim of Palestinian-descended Jews is so dubious, what of the claim of Khazar-descended Jews? Would a single Christian support their trek back to the “homeland” or want to oblige them by expelling the Arabs, if it were known that these Eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews who form the Zionist group practically in toto [almost entirely], have neither a geographic, historic nor ethnic connection with either the Jews [Judahite Israelites] of the Old Testament or the land known today as Palestine?24

Alfred Lilienthal, another Jewish doctor, corroborated this abuse of the Arabs by Zionist Jewry:

If the Arabs, who are themselves almost pure Semites, can be accused of anti-Semitism because of their intense and unrelenting opposition to Zionism and to [the State of] Israel, the shoe of bigotry fits much more appropriately on the Israeli foot. The 180,000 Arabs who remained and did not flee the new state upon its establishment in 1948 and the 700,00 Jewish Arabs who emigrated to [the State of] Israel from Yemen, Iraq, Egypt and the North African countries have … been the victims of anti-Semitism….
25

Dr.
Lilienthal then quoted another Jew, William Zukerman, who wrote the following in the October 16, 1961 Jewish Newsletter:

“[The Arabs have] been subjected to a series of discriminations and persecution [by the Jews] which would shock the civilized world, if they were fully known.
“26

Dr.
Lilienthal then continued with his own comments:

While [the State of] Israel is almost universally regarded as the shining example of “democracy” in the Middle East, [the State of] Israel’s 1952 Nationality Act codified discrimination into law and made the Arabs second-class citizens…. Under this law, a Jew may become a citizen of [the State of] Israel after one minute in the land, a status that may be denied to an Arab although his forefathers have been there for a thousand years.
27

…Arab refugees who had passed their entire life in Palestine were arrested, if not shot, as infiltrees [sic], while Jewish immigrants who had lived thousands of miles away and might never have seen Palestine were welcomed as pioneering heroes.
28

These atrocities and more have been achieved and ignored because today’s Jews have been able to hoodwink most of the world into believing that they are Israelites.
It is a slap in the face of these Arabs who have lost their land and, in some cases their loved ones for a Christian to ask, “What difference does Israel’s identity make?”

It Matters to All Americans

Israel’s identity matters to all Americans, both Israelites and non-Israelites alike. Because America has been an accomplice to the theft of Arab land and the murder of Arab lives, we may very well see the day when the Arab nations unite in war against America. Rather than being blessed by Yahweh in such a conflict, America may very well be cursed.

It Matters to the Rest of the World

Israel’s identity matters to the other nations of the world because Abraham’s Israelite descendants are to be a blessing to the rest of the world:

YHWH … said unto Abram, … I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
(Genesis 12:1-3)

…in thy [Abraham's] seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
(Genesis 22:18)

…thy [Jacob/Israel's] seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
(Genesis 28:14)

Pastor William Cameron pointed out that Yahweh’s blessings upon Israel were so that other races might also be blessed:

The Bible is not a history of the human race at large, but one distinct strain of people [the Israelites] amongst the family of races. All the other races are considered with reference to it…. The Bible deals with one race, which flows like a Gulf Stream through the ocean of humanity. As the actual Gulf Stream touches two continents and blesses the nations, so this race, in its origin, history and destiny, was selected and equipped for the service of the [other] nations.
29

…A man will rise and demand, “By what right does God choose one race or people above another?” I like that form of the question. It is much better than asking by what right God degrades one people beneath another, although that is implied. God’s grading is always upward. If He raises up a nation, it is that other nations may be raised up through its ministry. If He exalts a great man, an apostle of liberty, or science, or faith, it is that He might raise a degraded people to a better condition. The Divine selection is not a prize, a compliment paid to the man or the race – it is a burden imposed. To appoint a chosen people is not a pandering to the racial vanity of a “superior people;” it is a yoke bound upon the necks of those who are chosen for a special service.
30

Abraham’s Israelite descendants are to be a blessing to the rest of the world when we are serving Yahweh and observing His laws. However, we become a curse to the rest of the world when we refuse to recognize who we are and to whom we belong. Thus, the rest of the world is not experiencing the full-range of blessings that are a by-product of Israel’s relationship with Yahweh. And this relationship will never be fully realized on a national basis until we come to understand who we are.

It Matters to Christians

Israel’s identity matters a great deal to many Christians, that is, so long as today’s Jews are identified as Israelites. However, provide these same Christians with evidence, such as found in The Jewish Almanac, quoted at the beginning of this article, which demonstrates there has been a case of mistaken identity, and suddenly Israel’s identity no longer matters. Whether they are cognizant of it or not, Israel’s true racial identity does matter to Christians, including those who vainly attempt to spiritualize Israel under the New Covenant.
31

The identification of modern Israel is critical to all Christians because of the impact Israel’s misidentification has upon what Christians believe and practice. For example, many pastors inform their flocks that unless they bless the Jews, they cannot expect to be blessed themselves. Consequently, billions of dollars in foreign aid, by way of Christian Zionist ministries and unlawful government taxes, are sent to support Zionism’s “repatriation” of Palestine. In other words, billions of Christian dollars are being utilized to pillage and murder Palestinian Arabs in an attempt to remove them from their land and give it to Edomite Jews.
Consequently, Christians are being duped into giving aid and comfort to Yahweh’s enemies, and thus they come under the condemnation of the Prophet Jehu’s rebuke of King Jehoshaphat:

…Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate YHWH? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before YHWH.
(2 Chronicles 19:2)

Look at the record. Since 1948 and the formation of the State of Israel, America has steadily declined socially, politically, economically, educationally, spiritually and morally. In other words, instead of being blessed for her handouts to the Israelis, America has been and is being cursed.

Having been repeatedly told that today’s Jews are God’s chosen people, many Christians will balk at the implication that Jews are wicked and the enemies of Yahweh. Nevertheless, this is generally true. It is sinful to pose under a false identity in order to steal an inheritance that belongs to the rightful heir.
For this reason and others, Yeshua identified such Jews as a “synagogue of Satan”:

…I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews [Judahite Israelites], and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
(Revelation 2:9)

…I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews [Judahite Israelites], and are not, but do lie … to come and worship before thy [the church of Philadelphia's] feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
(Revelation 3:9)

It is also wicked of today’s Jews to steal, by deceit and murder, land that belongs to the Palestinian Arabs.
Furthermore, many Jews testify to their own wickedness:

…there are … good, solid reasons why the world should dislike us, and I, as a Jew, will utter them. …We are today the most bitterly despised people in the world. Never was a people so simply, so tenaciously, so whole-heartedly loathed….
Why should not the intelligentsia of Europe [and the rest of the world] hate us?32

…one by one the industries of the country close to them [the Jews] because of [their] unfair practices – until, it being impossible to longer hold in check the wrath of a betrayed people, there is violence, and inevitably, an ignominious ejection of the whole race from the land. There is not a single instance when the Jews have not fully deserved the bitter fruit of the fury of their persecutors…. We come to the nations pretending to escape persecution, we [Jews] the most deadly persecutors in all the wretched annals of man.
33

…the general causes of antisemitism have resided in Israel [the Jewish imposters themselves]….
34

…since it [the Jewish people] had become a deicide [destroyer of God], it had become the fallen people par excellence … having … brought the world’s … ruin.
35

We Jews have spoiled the blood of the races, we have tarnished and broken their power, we have made everything foul, rotten, decomposed and decayed.
36

We who have posed as Saviours of the World … we [Jews] are today nothing else but the world’s seducers, its destroyers, its incendiaries, its executioners…. We who have promised to lead you to a new heaven, we have finally succeeded in landing you into a new hell.
37

We Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers forever. Nothing that you will do will meet our needs and demands. We will forever destroy because we need a world of our own….
38

As a consequence of misidentifying today’s Jews as Israel, many Christian churches have been aiding and abetting the enemies of God and true Israel. The identity of today’s Israelites matters to all Christians whether they know it or not. If it does not matter to these Christians now, it will matter to them when they are standing before the judgment seat of God and they are faced with the fact that they have been helping the wicked and loving those who hate Yahweh.
Modern Christians have not been blessing Jacob/Israel’s descendants, but rather Esau/Edom’s descendants for whom Yahweh has a perpetual hatred:

The burden of the word of YHWH to Israel by Malachi. I have loved you, saith YHWH. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? Saith YHWH: yet I loved Jacob, And I hated Esau…. Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith YHWH of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom YHWH hath indignation for ever.
(Malachi 1:1-4)

For those who spiritualize Israel under the New Covenant, Israel’s identity will matter to them as well when they stand before the judgment seat of God and they discover that they have been doing next to nothing in support of true Israel whom Yahweh loves most:*

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to YHWH.
(Proverbs 17:15)

*Israel is Yahweh’s beloved; therefore, He esteems her above all others. Exodus 19:5-6, Deuteronomy 7:6, 14:2, Psalm 105:6, 135:4, Isaiah 41:8, Malachi 1:1-3, Matthew 10:6, 15:24, Romans 9:3-5, 13, etc.

Additionally, Israel’s identity matters to all Christians because without correctly identifying Israel in and out of the Bible, much scripture and prophecy is unable to be interpreted and applied correctly. One continually hears how fulfilled prophecy is dependent upon what the Jews do and do not do. However, the Jews are not Israelites, so prophecies concerning Israel cannot be fulfilled by Jews.

It Matters to Truth Seekers

Israel’s identity matters to people to whom truth is paramount. It makes no difference to truth seekers where a truth may lead them or what persecution may accompany that truth. This should be said of all Christians.
However, this is not the case or they would not be asking, “What difference does Israel’s identity make?” Truth seekers are very rare as testified to in the book of Jeremiah the Prophet:

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and … seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth….
(Jeremiah 5:1)

The Prophet Hanani made a similar statement:

For the eyes of YHWH move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His….
(2 Chronicles 16:9 NASV)

Regrettably and often tragically, many Christians are more apt to defend their sacred and often man-made doctrines than they are to embrace a truth previously unknown to them. However, Christians should have no sacred doctrines, only sacred truth. If doctrine must be sacrificed on the altar of truth, so be it.
It is much better than truth being sacrificed on the altar of some man-made tradition:

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias [Isaiah] prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me [Yahweh] with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(Matthew 15:7-9)

For anyone seeking after Yahweh, they must do so in truth:

YHWH is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
(Psalm 145:18)

Because Yeshua is the truth there is no other way to Yahweh but through Yeshua and His blood atoning sacrifice:

Yeshua saith…, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(John 14:6)

Additionally, because Yeshua is the embodiment of all truth, “in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,” – Colossians 2:2-3, all truth should be significant to everyone who seeks Yahweh. In fact, rejection of any truth, is in part a rejection of Yeshua.

It Matters to Yahweh

Israel’s identity matters to Yahweh. Israel was Yahweh’s beloved wife, and it is untenable that His wife’s identity is unimportant to Him.
Israel may have forgotten or lost her identity, but Yahweh has not forgotten who she is:

…O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen … thou art my servant: I have formed thee.… O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
(Isaiah 44:1-21)

It is impossible for Yahweh to forget Israel or He could never fulfill His word as found, for example, in Jeremiah 31:

Behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith YHWH…. Thus saith YHWH, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night…. If those ordinances depart from before me, saith YHWH, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. …If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith YHWH.
(Jeremiah 31:31-37)

Of course Yahweh’s word is always fulfilled and thus it has been Israelites with whom the New Covenant has been made just as He promised. Take a globe and draw circles around the landmasses in which Christianity has flourished and you will find that your circles encompass those nations primarily composed of Celto-Saxons. Either the Celto-Saxon peoples comprise Israel or Yahweh has not been true to His word, and He has established His New Covenant with someone other than whom He promised He would. Yahweh was and still is true to His word and it has been the Celto-Saxon peoples who, in accordance with Jeremiah’s prophecy, have most readily embraced the New Covenant religion of Christianity and have been most responsive to Yeshua’s call of salvation over the last two thousand years. In fact, the other nations would be oblivious to Christianity if it had not been for the Celto-Saxons proliferation of the New Covenant.

Israel’s Identity – It Matters!

Israel’s identity, although not the most important truth, is one of the most important truths in the Scriptures.
It matters to the Edomite Jews, to Israel’s enemies, to true Israel, to all future generations of Israel’s children, to the Arabs, to all Americans, to the rest of the world, to all Christians, to truth seekers and most importantly to Yahweh! Shouldn’t it matter to you?

If you want to make a difference in this world then share the message of the redeeming, blood-atoning sacrifice of Yeshua our Lord and Savior with as many Israelites as possible.
You also need to tell them the reason why Yeshua’s sacrifice is so important to them, that is, because they are Israelites and it is they whom He came to redeem:

Let Israel hope in YHWH: for with YHWH there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
(Psalm 130:7-8)

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets….
(Luke 1:68-70)

Every Israelite needs to know who He is and who they are because IT MATTERS!
