Throughout the years, several groups have claimed to be descended from the Biblical Israelites.These peoples are many and are mainly out of countries in Africa, Europe, and the Americas - mainly the United States.However, those who lay claim to being the Jews are the ones who now control the land of Israel and determine who are and who are not accepted as being Israelites even though many people will contend that the identity of the twelve tribes is unknown.Nevertheless, those in authority of GODs Land, and it is indeed GODs Land, certainly must realize that the Most High GOD of Israel can identity HIS Covenant People - the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - no matter how many years the Israelites have been in exile and under the control of Gentile nations and no matter how many years the Land of Israel has been under the control of Gentiles, i.e.,those who are NOT of the SEED of the Children of Israel.
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. Psalm 83:4
Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress. Obadiah verses 13,14
If people will just look closely at the state of the Israelite dilemma and at historical facts, they will learn that many situations and prophecies exist that reveal the GODs Truth regarding the identity of the Children of Israel - much of which is outlined in this document and in others that follow this report.Moreover greater attention should be focused on Deuteronomy 28th Chapter, wherein the Holy ONE of Israel outlines exactly what would happen to the Israelites if they did not worship HIM and keep HIS LAW.Deuteronomy 28th Chapter is about GODs Blessings upon HIS People if they would be obedient to HIS LAW and HIS inevitable curses if they would not.The Slave Trade fulfilled the greater aspect of these curses.(See also Leviticus 26th Chapter.)
Also, please take note of the fact that the Prophet Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian (Hamite) in Exodus 2:19.Its common knowledge that the Ancient Egyptians were Black, and in that they were descended from Ham, they could not have been of any other hue.No one would mistake former President Clinton for a black man regardless of what language he speaks or what clothing he might wear.And if the Prophet Moses had been white, he would not have been called an Egyptian.
Furthermore, it would be foolish to ignore the fact that while in the land of Israel, due to famine, wars, and/or fear of captivity, Abraham, Jacob, and the Israelites fled into Egypt seeking food and refuge.And after deliverance out of Egyptian bondage, while in the Wilderness, some Israelites chose a captain to return them to Egypt (Numbers 14:4).These are the situations that placed Israelites in whats called Africa.And due to the instability throughout Africa during those times, the Israelites were forced to migrate from one place to another vainly seeking refuge and contentment until it was time for them to fulfill the curses that GOD had laid upon them - that heinous Slave Trade due to rejecting this Most High GOD their only true SAVIOR and HIS Righteous LAW.
The very much discussed issues throughout the Old Testament are in regard to GODs Book of the Law, Israelites rejecting the Most High GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, their forsaking HIM for the idols of the Canaanites and the surrounding nations, GODs curses upon HIS Covenant People for their continuous sins and disobedience to HIM, and GODs restoration of the Nation of Israel, the Children of Jacob.People in search of the GODs Truth cannot dismiss or ignore the very important clues and indicators in the Old Testament that unequivocally determine the true identity of GODs Chosen, the SEED of the Biblical Israelites.Not just once, but twice did the Israelites go into bondage - once in Ancient Egypt and again in the four corners of this Earth.No other peoples other than Blacks have experienced enslavement on the magnitude spoken of in GODs WORD.And only Blacks have been the true victims of ethnic cleansing and forced migration in every sense of these horrendous calamities.Yet, the All-Mighty GOD of Israel says that a remnant of Israelites will return, and indeed HE is opening the eyes of HIS Chosen, for many are returning back to HIM and HIS Book of the Law.
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return Isaiah 10:22
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.Isaiah 11:12
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: Jeremiah 30:8
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.Jeremiah 32:41,42
The Truth of the matter is that Blacks have experienced the worst slavery known to human beings, and every curse that has been prophesied to befall Israelites has befallen Black Peoples.However, it should be noted that all Blacks are not Israelites.GOD cursed the Children of Israel by scattering them from HIS Land at the hands of their enemies (Deuteronomy 28th Chapter) who took them into captivity, and by making the remembrance of the Israelites to cease from among men.
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:Leviticus 26:17-19
The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.Deuteronomy 28:29
The Most High GOD accomplished HIS Will when the Ten Tribes went into captivity under the Assyrians (II Kings 17th Chapter) and decades later when Judah and remnants of the other tribes went into captivity during the Greek Empire - concluding the exile of all twelve tribes of the Children of Israel.
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.Lamentations 1:3
The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border. Joel 3:6
The Jews and Israelis are aligned with the greatest country in the world, the United States and more so than any other people in the world.And the U.S. grants Israelis billions of dollars annually for their sustenance of power, settlements, and weaponry in the Middle East, while the Blacks in the United States are left to live in poverty and endure savage injustices and inequalities.As well, its no secret that the Jews in mass, in every country they have chosen to live, are a most influential and wealthy people.Blacks cannot even dream of the prosperity and enterprise accomplished by the Jews and in every profession that is of economic benefit and excellence.For their sins against the Holy ONE of Israel, Black Hebrew Israelites fell prey to the rulers of this world and the Jews were no exception for they, too, enslaved Blacks out of Africa.
Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: Deuteronomy 28:47-50
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: Deuteronomy 32:26
The enslavement, control, and degradation the exiled Israelites have endured was and still is without mercy and has lasted for well over four hundred years.
I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.Isaiah 47:6
When the remnants of the Israelite tribes were overtaken after returning from ancient Babylon, Edom (Jacobs twin brother) prevailed in the land of Israel (Obadiah) until 70 C.E.Afterwards, all manner of Gentile peoples, Khazars in particular and other Europeans and Middle Easterners, converted to the very well organized religion of that era coined Judaism that was formed from the Talmud, so-called Oral Law, which was unheard of during the days of Moses and GODs other Prophets in the Old Testament. Always, ALWAYS, the GOD of Israel stressed living and doing HIS Book of the Law and without adding to or diminishing from it (Deuteronomy 12:32).However, these proselytes came to occupy the Land of Israel and establish their concept of religion and their control of the land and The Law of Return enabling them to maintain their authority over the Land of Israel.
If people closely examine GODs LAW and HIS WORD as to how HE Commands that the Israelites must serve and worship HIM in HIS Holy City, Jerusalem, and in HIS Holy Temple, they will see that converts cannot minister unto GOD, for this duty was given only to the Tribe of Levi.If the GOD of Israel sanctifies the Levites to minister in HIS Holy Temple, how then can converts, Gentiles/Strangers, assume to go into the holiest of places in the world? If it is given to the Levites to teach GODs LAW, how can converts assume this responsibility?(See also the following passages:Numbers 1:53; I Chronicles 23:27-32; Ezekiel 40:45,46; Malachi 3:3,4)
I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people. Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.Leviticus 20:24 - 26
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD. Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD. They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them. Leviticus 22:2,3,9
Thus, the reason why converts are not accepted by GOD as being Israelites.Converts are Strangers, and although they are entitled to believe in, hope in, trust in, and worship this Most High GOD of Hosts, they cannot serve in the capacity of Israelites - not under any circumstances.
And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.Numbers 1:18
And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.Numbers 1:51 - 53
Not even could other Tribes of Israel go before the Tabernacle of Testimony - only The Levites!
And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel: The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two. And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.Ezra 2:59 - 62(See also Nehemiah 7:61,64)
Accordingly, it is established and goes without saying that European and Middle Eastern converts or other Gentiles CANNOT be of the Hebrew pedigree, i.e., they CANNOT be classified as biological Israelites by any stretch of the imagination.GODs LAW and HIS WORD wont allow it.
If Israelis or rather converts to Judaism were of the SEED of Jacob, whose name GOD changed from Jacob to Israel, were the remnant that is prophesied to return, they would be enjoying peace, prosperity, and happiness.But this is not at all the case.Since 1948, Israelis have experienced continuous fighting with their neighbors that have caused much death and distress on both sides.
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. Jeremiah 30:8-10
To this day, the GOD of Israel has obviously not re-established the Twelve Tribes of Israel.Otherwise, the Israelites would be enjoying their heritage along with their neighbors.However, this is not to say that the SEED of the Israelites does not exist.Believe GODs WORD, the Children of Israel and the SEED of King David are alive and well and know their identity and are awaiting the Hand of the GOD of Israel for their return to their heritage.
Its important to note that those in control of the land of Israel (Ashkenazim and others calling themselves Jews through conversion) must not be confused with being the SEED of Jacob/Israel, i.e., Israelis cannot be Israelites.Europeans and their descendants and other Middle Eastern converts to Judaism could never be of the SEED of GODs Covenant People, even if they were converts to a thousand generations.In other words, neither can those who convert to Judaism nor their children, grandchildren, and their descendants be of the lineage of the Children of Israel.
Reality is that GOD knows HIS Chosen People, and it is their descendants who will return - not converts to Judaism.And the world should be made perfectly clear on this fact, as GODs Truth has been tampered with since the Israelites were taken from the Land of Israel by their enemies (Obadiah).
That being a given, although GOD does in fact have a Covenant People and, at the end of the day, will AGAIN establish HIMSELF in the midst of them (Ezekiel 43:9), in HIS Holy City Jerusalem, HE accepts ALL peoples who worship HIM as GOD and take hold of HIS Righteous LAW (Isaiah 56:6-8).And there will be but ONE LAW for both the Israelites and for the Strangers who seek to believe in, hope in, and trust in this Most High GOD of Moses according to HIS Ways of Righteousness.
One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.Numbers 15:15,16
Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: Deuteronomy 31:12
No doubt, the main reasons why GOD will cause HIS Chosen Ones to return are that HE formed Israel to show forth HIS Praise, HE PROMISED that the SEED of King David would reign in Jerusalem, and HE chose the SEED of Levi to minister before HIM in HIS Holy Temple in the Holy City that HE chose for HIMSELF.
This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
Isaiah 43:21
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him. Ezekiel 40:46
And it is given to ALL Twelve Tribes of Israel to represent the GOD of Israel and be a LIGHT to the world for HIS Exaltation, HIS Righteous LAW, and for HIS Holy Names Sake.As prophesied, there will be another Holy Temple, GODs Holy Priests will again minister before HIM, and nations will worship this Great and All-Mighty GOD of Israel, for HE is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob FOREVER!
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.Exodus 3:15
Thus, Gentiles and converts to Judaism cannot under any circumstances take the place of the Israelite nation, and they certainly will not lay claim to the inheritance promised to the SEED of Jacob.GOD wont let it happen!At the appropriate time, the SEED of Jacob will return and will be at rest with their neighbors.
For the LORDs portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. Deuteronomy 32:9
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Isaiah 65:9
Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LOD; for I am married unto you:and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I WILL BRING YOU TO ZION:
Jeremiah 314(Caps. are mine.)
Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
Ezekiel 47:13,14
Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.Jeremiah 12:14,15
But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. Jeremiah 46:27
Therefore, let the following pages serve as a revelation and a matter that is serious enough to be addressed.And those who fear GOD and truly believe in HIM will accept HIS Truth at the word of HIS Prophets that I have presented herewith for their blessings sake.
The SEED of Jacob will return to the GOD of Israel and to HIS LAW and will be re-established exactly as was promised and prophesied.
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 the LORD their God. 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 God: I am the LORD.Leviticus 26:44,45
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Isaiah 1:26
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.Isaiah 2:3
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. Isaiah 10:20,21
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.Isaiah 11:10.11
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.Jeremiah 16:14,15
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.Jeremiah 23:7,8
For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.Isaiah 54:7,8
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.Zephaniah 3:17-20
The members of The LawKeepers, Co. are seeking to relocate to the lands where once our forefathers lived and follow GODs Paths of Righteousness, i.e., HIS Book of the Law, the Laws of Moses that have been so long forgotten.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. Exodus 24:12
While we are quite aware that the information in this document is controversial and will be rejected by many, especially by the Gentiles who are now converted Jews, the fact remains that the Biblical Israelites were Black, and they are the ones who will be returned to once again serve and worship the GOD of Israel and enjoy the Land of Canaan promised to them.
We, the members of the LawKeepers, Co., are not connected with any other Black Hebrew Israelite groups, and none of the members of our Corporation has ever been accused of any crimes or incarcerated for any reason.
The members of this Corporation follow ONLY the Laws, Statutes, and Judgments of the GOD of Israel (as best we can) that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses to teach to the Children of Israel.As well, we must follow GODs Commandment to NOT add to or diminish from this Divine LAW.This is GODs Way and by no means should HIS Way be classified a Cult or New Religion, for HIS Ways of Righteousness are as perfect as are the Heaven and Earth that HE Created.And HIS Spirituality should be the worlds concentration rather than any other organized, man-made religion. Of a Truth, there is nothing new about GODs Divine Paths of Righteousness.This Spirituality has been around for millennia.People have just chosen to ignore it.
We wish to make it perfectly clear that we hold no animosity against those calling themselves Jews and/or the Israelis for not accepting us as the SEED of Jacob.We know that GODs WORD is unfailing, and HIS Will is inevitable.And just as HE has promised that a Remnant of the Children of Israel will return to their heritage, know that it is certain.We are making it our business to become numbered among this remnant that will fear the LORD GOD of Israel and be obedient to HIS Ways of Righteousness - HIS Book of the LAW.And until our GOD intervenes, we are satisfied with living in harmony with the peoples GOD has placed in the lands where our forefathers lived so long ago.
The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. Isaiah 42:21
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings
Isaiah 51:7
Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.Jeremiah 30:2,3
And when this moment is manifest, nations, not just in the Middle East, but all over the world will be grateful to the True and Living GOD of Abraham and Moses for the peace and happiness that HE will bring to this globe.
If people would like to donate towards our TORAH Israelite Community (housing, a K-12 School, farm, Bakery, and Health Center) in the lands where our forefathers once lived, please know that we have 501 (c)(3) status, and that your contributions would be greatly appreciated.
It is our prayer that Our GOD of Israel will encourage the peoples of the world (just as HE encouraged the Ancient Egyptians) to be compassionate to our endeavors and assist us in our firm desires to return to HIM as we strive to become admirable Israelites for HIS Exaltation and for HIS Holy Names Sake.Better now than never for the SEED of Jacob (and the Stranger) to start following GODs Paths of Righteousness that HE set forth at the hand of Moses so many millennia ago.And in order to return to the Ways of the Hebrew Israelites, we will need financial assistance to accomplish our relocation, social responsibilities, and livelihoods.

O TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM AND MOSES IS JUST AND GOOD!
The LawKeepers, Co.
For GODs Holy Names Sake
Many would say that the Children of Israel are the "White Jews" who now inhabit Israel. One might ask, "Who cares?" Others might ask, "What difference does it make? Those people lived thousands of years ago."
And that is just the point. The Children of Israel lived thousands of years ago and still exist today. Therefore, the existence of this nation of people makes all the difference in the world, and the reason is that they choose to return to the Laws of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and choose to return to their land, the Land of Israel. But the question still remains, "Who are the Children of Israel?"And, "Who can prove to be the rightful beneficiaries of this LAND and HERITAGE."
What does the God of Israel have to add to this inquiry? Are the answers "hidden" in the scriptures?
During the time that the Children of Israel wondered in the wilderness, they sinned against their God, and He set His hand to begin to scatter them into the four corners of the earth.
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. Psalm 106:26,27
At this point, it should be made perfectly clear that it was the Most High God who scattered the Nation of Israel and cursed them to go into captivity by their enemies. This was not a mere decision on the part of His people to pack up and relocate or what some might term voluntary emigration to other lands.
And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. Leviticus 26:32-34
Israel, "The ten Lost Tribes" went into captivity, first.
In the ninth year of Ho-shea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. II Kings 17:6
Judah and some priests followed later:
And afterward saith the Lord, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy. Jeremiah 21:7
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits. The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness. Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy. Lamentations 1:3-5
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord. Lamentations 2:9
The God of Israel had previously told His people that they were compelled to keep His Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and told them that they would be blessed if they were obedient.
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Deuteronomy 28:1-4 (Read also Deuteronomy 28:5-8)
The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee. The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. Deuteronomy 28:9-12
And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. Deuteronomy 28:13,14
BUT, the Children of Israel would not keep the Laws of their God but worshipped false gods and were cursed with captivity in their enemies' lands.
The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. Deuteronomy 28:25
And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. Deuteronomy 28:29
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: Deuteronomy 28:32,33
The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. Deuteronomy 28:36,37
Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. Deuteronomy 28:41
The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Deuteronomy 28:43,44
Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young;
Deuteronomy 28:48-50
And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other: and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shalt give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: Deuteronomy 28:64-66
And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen and no man shall buy you.
Deuteronomy 28:68
Again it should be noted that this prophecy was given to the nation of Israel AFTER they came out of Egypt. Here the Lord said that HE would bring them AGAIN into Egypt but this time WITH SHIPS.
I said I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: Deuteronomy 32:26
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the Lord have spoken it. Ezekiel 21:32
Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou has made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.Ezekiel 22:4
Now that you have been provided with this biblical input, let's analyze this information to determine the truth. (Keep in mind that these prophecies took place after the Children of Israel left out of Egypt.) At what time in history were the "White Jews" oppressed and spoiled, given unto another people or went into captivity by way of ships, low and their enemies on high, the tail and their enemies the head, or when, on this earth, were these people ever wearing a yoke of iron??? Read any documentary or book on how the Portuguese initiated the slave trade, African Slavery, or United States Slavery, and you will be reading about the curses God put on the Children of Israel. The most cruel and inhumane history of enslavement befell black slaves, not only in the United States, but black slaves throughout the world.
"BLACK" EGYPTIANS
It should be noted that the Children of Israel fled into Egypt whenever there was a threat of famine and/or war.
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Hosea 11:1
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!Isaiah 30:1,2
Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.Jeremiah 42:14-16
So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes. Jeremiah 43:7
In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? Jeremiah 44:8
They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. Hosea 9:3
Perhaps it would be worthwhile at this point to note that Egypt is in Africa (and that the Canaanites of the Land of Canaan, The Land of Israel, were jet black). It is not likely that white Israelites would flee into Egypt, a place where it would be most difficult for them to hide because of their lily white skin. But rather, it would make more sense for White Jews to flee into Europe where they could be camouflaged.
It is also interesting to note that Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian (Exodus 2:9). Obviously, the Israelites and the Egyptians were of the same color. One would not mistake President George W. Bush for Colin Powell or Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for President Nelson Mandela. Therefore, because the ancient Egyptians were black and because of the misidentification of Moses for an Egyptian, we can safely say that the Biblical Israelites had to be Black! And when in Africa, the Children of Israel did not stay in one particular region but were Nomads, fleeing and wondering throughout Africa seeking peace from the many warring African tribes in an effort to survive.
It behooves us to note God's prophecies regarding enslavement of the Nation of Israel for their sins and the predicament of Blacks throughout the world, as well as, the history of the wealth of "White Jews."
Clearly, the biblical Israelites were cursed to be slaves in their enemies land. Understand that this is not the 420 years of slavery in Egypt but rather the captivity that was prophesied after the Children of Israel left out of this land. In other words, God's prophecy to enslave the Israelites a second time was made after the Egyptian captivity. And after the Egyptian captivity of the Israelites, there is no record of "White Jews" ever going into slavery, but there are extensive historical records of BLACK SLAVES fulfilling these prophecies.
According to Arthur Koestler (the author of The Thirteenth Tribe),one sect, the Ashkenazim, "White Jews" out of Europe converted to Judaism. Therefore, they cannot be the true heirs to the Land of Israel. According to the Bible, the Edomites (Genesis 36:19), another "sect" but descended from Esau, Jacob's twin brother whom Isaac said would live by the sword (exactly what they are doing today - Genesis 27:40), are not the people with whom the God of Israel will make a (new) covenant.
The "White Jews" were the economic giants wherever they lived and on many continents. This group made it their business to monopolize any and all markets. If a dime was to be made, they were there making money. Their tactics to manipulate the economy of every country they inhabited in the past (and present) enabled them to buy the hotels and country clubs that discriminated against them, own and/or control the Hollywood and television industries, the shipping industry, banks, newspapers and magazines, the fortunes made from the Slave Trade, and the list goes on. However, it is difficult not to admire them for the strides they have made for their people as a result of their financial acquisitions, prosperity, and accomplishments. I do not think anyone will disagree with these facts.
And no one will deny that the "cursed" Israelites of the Bible are not and have never been this wealthy group of people calling themselves the SEED of Jacob. At no time have "White Jews" ever been known as the "tail" of anything such as what the Holy One of Israel said would befall the Biblical Israelites. But rather the contrary. These "White Jews" are "the head" and the Blacks are this despicable "tail."
JUDAIC CONVERSION
What is even more unconscionable and absurd is that "White Jews"/the present rulers of Israel/The Rabbinate compel the Falasha Jews and Black Hebrew Israelites to convert to Judaism before they are accepted as Jews and permitted to live in Israel as such. The scriptures do not support their insane theology.
And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. Exodus 12:43,44
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. Deuteronomy 21:12,13
And it shall come to pass when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee. And shalt return unto the Lord thy God and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all they soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. Deuteronomy 30:1-3
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Jeremiah 31:31
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:33,34
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Jeremiah 32:37-40
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Ezekiel 36:24-28
It appears the "White Jews'" desire to convert people is a smoke screen for their hidden agenda. The Holy One of Israel does not speak of this conversion but rather He expresses a desire for returning to Him and His Laws, circumcising all males, making a "New Covenant" with the Children of Israel, cleansing them from all their idols and giving them a "New Heart" to serve Him. Why on earth would "White Jews" concoct such a practice as conversion to Judaism unless they hope to keep total control over "The Law of Return," i.e., who comes and goes in the Land of Israel.
Obviously, God has no need or purpose for this Judaic conversion. First of all, the Holy One of Israel doesn't mention a conversion process in HIS LAW or in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets.On the contrary, the Gods WORD affirms and declares lineage.
And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.Numbers 1:18
And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.Numbers 1:51 - 53
Not even could other Tribes of Israel go before the Tabernacle of Testimony - only The Levites!
And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel: The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two. And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.Ezra 2:59 - 62(See also Nehemiah 7:61,64)
Accordingly, it is established and goes without saying that European and Middle Eastern converts or other Gentiles CANNOT be of the Hebrew pedigree, i.e., they CANNOT be classified as biological Israelites by any stretch of the imagination.GODs LAW and HIS WORD wont allow it.
And second of all, God has already prophesied by His servants the prophets that He would cleanse His people and put His Laws in their hearts. Therefore, it would appear that all this conversion business is a mere fantasy realized by a group of "religious" zealots whose desire it is to make "rules and regulations" for their own self-serving benefit.
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL TO RECOVER A REMNANT
What's so wonderful is that once again, the Holy One of Israel will deliver His people from all foreign lands and will return them to the Land of Israel, a second time, and without undergoing Judaic conversion.
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. Jeremiah 32:41,42
Therefore, prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the Land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves. And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
Ezekiel 37:12-14
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side and bring them into their own land: Ezekiel 37:21
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. Jeremiah 16:14-16
For thus saith the Lord; 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. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border. Jeremiah 31:7-17
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. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.Jeremiah 50:4-5
At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord. Zephaniah 3:20
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isaiah 11:11,12
There can be nothing better than having the scriptures support the truth and under these circumstances, for some reading them it is as if reading the Bible for the first time.
Finally, the sole purpose for compiling this information is to reveal the Living Gods Truth in order that the world will come to know the true identity of the Most High God and the SEED or rather the descendants of the Biblical Israelites, HIS Chosen People, and their right to live in Gods Land (Leviticus 25:23)- the land HE promised and gave to the Children of Israel.
Although the Most High God of Israel has not yet removed the curse that HE put upon HIS Chosen People, our hope is to live in harmony with those HE has placed in the Land of Israel until HE decides to fulfill prophecy and return the land back to HIS Covenant People.
This information has identified the Children of Israel as being Black and the ancestors of the people who are the descendants of the slaves taken from the shores of Africa. However, all Blacks are not Israelites.In that the truth about the real identity of God's Chosen People has been established, the suggestion of any kind of conversion to Judaism is a parody and is totally out of the question. And the idea that "White Jews" should have authority and control over who and what Black Hebrew Israelites have a right to return to the Land of Israel is just as ridiculous.
It has been a long time coming, and with the help of The Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, this opportunity to return home and be a righteous people will not be in vain. The remnant will do it right this time.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.Zechariah 8:6-9
BLESSED BE THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, FOREVER!
The LawKeepers, Co.
FOR GODs HOLY NAMES SAKE!
December 23, 1999
"The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that
he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied:
and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee,
he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries."
Lamentations 2:17
"Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
"Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth
is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
"Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
There shall none of my words be prolonged any more,
but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD."
Ezekiel 12:26 - 28
In my undying efforts to Exalt the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and HIS Book of the Law, it is necessary to negate, debase, and contradict theologies and "cooked books," used by ruling powers, that control and convert people and purposefully lure the whole World to believe a lie. Imperialists and their Christian Missionaries are most guilty of this aggression and offense. And what's worse is that once people embrace Christianity, they are then led to exalt JC and the philosophies of the "New Testament" and believe that this "man" is the fulfillment of the "Old Testament."
The Jewish religion, "Judaism," is another culprit involved in the scheme to deceive, confuse, and misrepresent GOD's WORD. Permit me to make something perfectly clear, and that is, belief in the GOD of Israel does not equal belief in "Judaism." But rather belief in the Talmud is belief in Judaism. And because this Talmudic philosophy and theology is written by European Jewish scholars and not by GOD's Prophets, it cannot be accepted that it expresses the original intent of GOD's Law. But rather Judaic theology revises GOD's Law with the changing times. This is not acceptable and is in gross violation of GOD's Law.
The "Jews" of the Grecian/Roman Era have taken the identity of the accursed, scattered, and forgotten Children of Israel and, in doing so, have deceived the entire World. Unfortunately, people accept both of these man-made religions: Judaism and Christianity and their systematic views with no questions asked rather than accept what the All-Mighty GOD of Moses has already established as an everlasting Foundation and Path for genuine Righteousness. By having GOD's Chosen People believe and accept false doctrines and false information, the prosperity, rule, and the times of the Gentiles will last forever. Then, the sufferings and subjugation of the "Dry Bones" will forever remain an issue in limbo. Well, it's time for those who believe in the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to change the TIMES and present GOD's Truth.
What people have not done is research the WORD of GOD to verify the authenticity of Judaism and the Talmud, and this "new" religion called "Christianity" and its "New Testament" philosophy. In this Message, GOD's Law, HIS WORD to HIS Prophets, and historical evidence is presented to prove that Christianity and its White, blue-eyed JC are not only a fabricated tale that's been spun to assist White Powers in their efforts to divide and conquer the World but are also contrived to make Europeans superior to other races. Scripture and historical documentation is presented to discredit and implicate both "Christianity" and "Judaism" as not only being suspect but products of man and not inspirations by GOD.
To clarify the information presented here, please understand that Christianity and Judaism are both religions used by GOD, as you will see, to deceive and corrupt the Truth because of the great Sins of the Nation of Israel who were cursed into captivity for abandoning their GOD and worshipping false images (Deuteronomy 28:64). And because we are still under GOD's Curse, the World is not yet aware that the once scattered Blacks who were enslaved in the four corners of this Earth are in fact the genuine Children of Israel.
And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. Deuteronomy 28:64
"I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:" Deuteronomy 32:26
"Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the Lord have spoken it." Ezekiel 21:32
However, now, we have reached the "latter days," the time when GOD is permitting knowledge to increase and give all people an opportunity to turn to HIM according to HIS Precepts and Ordinances. But we must quickly take heed and return to the GOD of Israel and HIS Law while there is time.
"Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:14,15
By the way, the keeping of GOD's Law is not to be termed a "religion." GOD's Laws, Statutes, and Judgments are lived and done in Truth and make up a genuine, civilized culture and lifestyle for the Nation of Israel and all who observe them. Our Hebrew way of life is in no way a man-made or organized religion. In other words, one cannot affix a man's name to this Hebrew Way of Life because this divine Spirituality came from the Creator, the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Every aspect of the Hebrew Culture revolves around GOD's Law: from the most "unique" Worship of YIHOVAH to cleanliness, life in GOD's Holy Land, Hebrew education, GOD's instituted Feast Days, the Hebrew diet, dress, and social interactions with fellow Brothers and Sisters, as well as, with the Strangers who join themselves to the Nation of Israel. And because the Children of Israel rejected the GOD of Israel and HIS Law, is the reason for our calamity and expulsion to this day.
It's important to be cognizant of the fact that Gentile powers only exist today because the Nation of Israel, their Kings, Priests, and Prophets committed insane and horrible Sins against the Most High GOD who made an Everlasting Covenant with them to be their GOD forever (Genesis 17:7,8). HIS Promise to HIS Chosen People yet stands, and HE awaits us to return to HIM again. But we must return with a desire to keep ONLY GOD's Law as was previously delineated to HIS Servant, the Prophet Moses, and reject the philosophies of others even though they might sound ever so reasonable and upright. If it's not GOD's WORD, then we cannot take the chance of using additional guidance for our already profound Hebrew lifestyle. What would be the purpose, anyway? Would the Most High GOD give us a Law that is lacking? Of course not. What it lacked was Israelites to observe and live it in Righteousness!
Some Israelites falsely believe that we can return home under the influence of books other than GOD's Book of HIS Law. I am not denouncing the use of historical documentation, but I am specifically condemning books such as the Talmud, Jubilees, the Apocrypha, the Maccabees, etc. if they are used for spirituality and for teaching GOD's WORD. For Israelites, there is but ONE WAY to teach the WORD of GOD and that is through the use of HIS Book of the Law and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets. This actually makes sense when you think about it. But Israelites, of all people, for whatever reason, seem to feel that GOD's Book of the Law is not enough for our enlightenment and that these and other books, written during the reign of the Gentiles, will help aid in the understanding of Righteousness, if you will. My conviction is that we must use and live GOD's Law and seek HIM for understanding. Actually, if Our GOD finds our hearts worthy, then HE makes HIS WORD forthright and abundantly clear - BLESSED BE HIS HOLY NAME.
We must never forget that The Book of GOD's Law is Perfect and to supplement it with other books could negatively influence our understanding of GOD's Ordinances, Statutes, and Judgments, as indeed they have. Therefore, why jeopardize adding man's ideals to GOD's already profound and Righteous Everlasting Law? The Nation of Israel has been rebellious since our youth, and the Gentile Nations have been even worse. So, why rely on or use religious material that was not sanctioned by Our GOD? Doesn't it suffice us to know that the GOD of Israel demanded the Children of Israel and our kings specifically to live HIS Law forever (Deuteronomy 11th Chapter and II Kings 17:37)? Shouldn't that make us realize that no other books are of any significance?
"And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways and to love thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
"To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?" Deuteronomy 10:12,13
If we accept this Scripture, then why include other books as divine material, that were not written by GOD's Prophets?
"I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Psalm 118:17
"Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
"With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." Isaiah 26:2,9
This Message will hopefully shed light on the nationality of the authors of the above mentioned books, as well as others that were written during the Grecian and Roman Eras and thereafter that they could not have been written by Israelites; they were not there, and another Nation bore their identity!
"Thou [Edom] shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;" Obadiah verse 1,13
Both the Ten Tribes of Israel and Judah were taken into captivity to serve the Gentiles for worshipping false gods, forsaking the GOD of Israel, and for despising HIS Law.
"And they shall know that I am the Lord, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
"He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them." Ezekiel 6:10 - 12
"Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
"An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
"The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
"And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth." Ezekiel 7:3,6,7,9
Yet some folks might still say, "Well, so what if these books weren't written by Israelites; the information has merit and is about living righteously." Let us not forget that all of Israel's leaders must come from the Seed of Jacob, i.e., "from the midst of thee, of thy brethren" (Deuteronomy 18:15), and they must come with GOD's Law (Isaiah 8:20). Therefore, we cannot accept the works of people who are not Israelites. And just to clarify the matter, we cannot use books written by Israelites to teach GOD's Spirituality, either. Again, what would be the purpose when Our Merciful GOD has already left us HIS Law?
And it pains me to hear of my people observing the Holy Days designated on the European Jewish calendar that sets its dates according to the dark side of the moon rather than the Sighting of the "New Moon." One reason why GOD said that our Prophets should proceed from our Brethren is because if that Brother is living righteously, then he will be guided by YIHOVAH to lead us accordingly. Why should we ask Our GOD to reveal Truth to us if we refuse to use this knowledge for enlightenment to better serve HIM according to HIS guidelines? It is incumbent upon every Israelite truly seeking to follow YIHOVAH in Righteousness to be concerned with worshipping HIM with ONE CONSENT as written in HIS WORD. Our GOD takes us slowly, one step at a time, and provides us with wisdom as we become worthy and ready to accept it. To reject knowledge and/or dismiss the facts is not wisdom. These are the latter days, and we must immediately disseminate and apply this knowledge as GOD reveals it to us so as to prepare ourselves to Exalt the True and Living GOD of Abraham and HIS Truth.
"This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise."
Isaiah 43:21
"And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth." Isaiah 49:6
"And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." Isaiah 2:3
Before reading the evidence that places all twelve tribes in exile and in captivity at the time of the Grecian and Roman Empires, please focus on the prophecies of GOD's Judgments and the dates that GOD's Prophets prophesied about Judah's imminent captivity. This is not only very important, but it's key to your understanding all the facts presented in this Message. Some historical data may vary slightly in regards to the years the Prophets of the "Old Testament" revealed GOD's WORD, but from my research, I have found that the variations from one historian/author to another are minimal.
It is also worth noting at this time that just as GOD promised, after the 70 year Babylonian captivity, Judahites were permitted to return to their homeland. Albeit because of Judah's continued sins against the GOD of Israel, they were yet under the control of Gentiles (Persia) even at that time and were eventually removed from the land altogether.
"O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.
[The House of the Lord was burned with fire, the walls of Jerusalem were broken down, and Zedekiah, the last King of Judah, was taken to Babylon (Jeremiah 52nd Chapter.]
"Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
"And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
"For we were bondmen; yet our God hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
"And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken thy commandments."
"These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;" Nehemiah 7:6
"Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
"Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
"Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
"And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress." Nehemiah 9:32,33,36,37
However, not all returned, hence, it would appear that they preferred to remain in Babylon. And the few who did resume life in Israel, did not keep GOD's Law, as Nehemiah admits. Also, see Nehemiah 13th Chapter.
The following is information that you might find helpful as you read and do further research on your own:
Isaiah prophesied around 701 to 689 B.C.E. (Assyrian Invasion and Hezekiah's Reign)
Jeremiah prophesied around 640 to 586 B.C.E. (At the time of Josiah, Babylonian Captivity, and the Fall of Jerusalem)
Joel prophesied around 605 to 587 B.C.E. (Babylonian Captivity and Fall of Jerusalem)
Ezekiel prophesied around 597 to 586 B.C.E. (2nd captivity and Fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE)
Obadiah prophesied around 587 B.C.E. (the Fall of Jerusalem)
Ezra - 538 to 444 B.C.E .(1st return to Jerusalem)
Nehemiah - 444 to 425 B.C.E. (Nehemiah's return to Jerusalem in 444)
Given the above dates, we know for a fact that the GOD of Israel ceased to send messages to HIS Servants the Prophets during the Grecian reign (334 B.C.E. to 64 B.C.E.) . But just in case there is any doubt about that, please read the following Scripture that provides more than enough proof to support this certainty:
"For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory." Isaiah 3:8
"Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
"Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy." Lamentations 1:3,5
"Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord." Lamentations 2:9
"We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
"Thou has covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through." Lamentations 3:42,44
"But thou has utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us." Lamentations 5:22
"Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision: and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
"Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God." Micah 3:6,7
"The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border." Joel 3:6
"Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
"Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
"For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
"Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
"Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD." Ezekiel 12:25,27,28
"They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them." Hosea 5:6
"The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up." Amos 5:2
"That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
"And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire." Nehemiah 1:2,3
"Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards." Nehemiah 5:5
No where in the Books of Ezra or Nehemiah does GOD speak to them. Could it be because the World of the Gentiles had already taken root and had begun to flourish and prosper and usurp Israel's land just so they, at GOD's Command, could successfully render swift justice and captivity upon GOD's rebellious People? Obviously, there were two captivities to take place: the one to Ancient Babylon and the other after the days of Nehemiah when the Grecians removed Judah far from their border (Joel 3:6).
According to Scripture, GOD's Judgments and curses were swift, deadly, and wasted no time being fulfilled:
"In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion." Jeremiah 2:30
"O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? Thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou has consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return." Jeremiah 5:3
"I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them." Jeremiah 9:16
"The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
"Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
"They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.
"And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
"My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
"Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
"Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients." Ezekiel 7:7,8,19,21,22,24,26
Now, would be a good time to ask, "When did GOD cease to send Messages to HIS People via HIS Servants the Prophets?" And "What was the state of affairs of the Children of Israel during these periods?"
If all twelve tribes were fulfilling prophecy to go into captivity and under the control of the Gentiles (of which there is no doubt), then why would GOD continue to send Messages to HIS Prophets? Think! What would be the purpose?
"Thou has covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through." Lamentations 3:44
"Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens." Lamentations 5:2
The key Scripture that I wish to call most attention to is Jeremiah 16:9, Ezekiel 12:22 - 28, and Joel 3:6. Jeremiah is making it quite clear that GOD's condemnation will fall upon the Judahites "in your days" because they had forsaken GOD and served other gods. Ezekiel is telling Judah that they are mistaken if they think GOD's Judgment is prolonged or think that the vision is for many days to come. GOD also tells Ezekiel to tell Judah that HIS Judgment will take place "in your days, O rebellious house&" And sure enough history records that during the days of the Prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel and the Judahites, they were indeed under Gentile aggression and invasion. Of that, there is absolutely no question. Joel wrote about the fact that Judah had already been sold unto the Grecians. GOD did not lie. HIS punishment was swift and severe.
Hence, those who believe that the wealthy and prosperous Maccabees were the Seed of Judah must also believe that GOD allowed this Tribe to return to the land, occupy Jerusalem, and write religious books. I don't think so; I know better. Don't let us be found guilty also of taking another man's identity. The acts of the "Jews" who lived at 300 B.C.E. in no way even parallel the behavior and the culture of the Children of Israel. These Maccabees were not the Seed of Judah!
Consider another very important factor. In order for Edom to attempt to reclaim his birthright, it had to be in the absence of Jacob; wouldn't you think?
"The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom;
"Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
"And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
"For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. Obadiah
If I were to steal someone's identity, I certainly would not be able to do so and maintain it in the face of the actual individual for any long period of time. That wouldn't be too wise of me in view of all the evidence that could surface and disprove my claim, right? Hence, Judah was not there!
"In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou was as one of them.
"But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
"Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
"Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress." Obadiah 14
There is only one time in history that Edom could have carried out this conspiracy. Since it's not written anywhere in the Scriptures that this particular incident took place while Israel occupied the land and given all the clues in Obadiah's prophecy, then Edom had to have taken Judah's identity when they were being TAKEN FROM THE LAND by their captors!
Biblical evidence shows that the last thing on the minds of the Remnant of Judah was to keep GOD's Law and acknowledge HIM as their GOD. Israel and Judah both had worshipping false gods on their brains which was the very reason for their/our captivity. Hence, it is highly unlikely that the people calling themselves Jews during this (Grecian and Roman) Era were the Seed of Jacob, as these Edomites/Maccabeans focused on identifying with the GOD of Israel, albeit with much irreverence, and were hell bent on being Greek in culture and nature.
Russel Shorto is quite blunt and informative in his book Gospel Truth concerning the Jews of the Greek Age and their adoption of "Greekness."
"In the centuries after Alexander's conquest of Palestine, hellenism gathered strength among the Jews. Cities on the Greek style sprang up. This evident today at archaeological sites from Dan to Beersheba: Greek theaters for watching Greek plays, Greek columns for holding up Greek buildings.
"So, yes, even many Jews - the fiercely independent Jews - succumbed to Greekness. You wouldn't realize this from reading traditional biblical scholarship, which erected a wall between Palestine and the wider Mediterranean world. As Burton Mack writes, 'Hellenistic influence has been downplayed by scholars in the interest of buttressing the picture of Jesus appearing in the midst of a thoroughly Jewish culture. Unfortunately for this view, archaeological evidence of hellenization in Galilee continues to increase.' And not only in Galilee but in Judea, Samaria, and the Decapolis as well. The Jewish world in which Jesus lived was awash in hellenism, and contemporary biblical scholars are find its influence everywhere - including, ultimately, in the historical Jesus.
"Another meeting of wise men is taking place. The participants are all Jews of the Diaspora, Jews whose forebears left the homeland and forged new identities in the major cities of the Greek world. They have kept some ties to Jerusalem, but the most basic one, the Hebrew language, they have all but lost." Page 68
It just doesn't fit! The interests of the Maccabeans and the history of the stiffnecked, Biblical Israelites just do not relate to each other. We are literally comparing apples and oranges when studying these two groups. Another piece of the puzzle that cannot find a place among the genuine Israelites is the use of "synagogues." Israelites didn't want to worship in GOD's Holy Temple and much less some synagogue to serve HIM because they were too busy profaning GOD's Holy Name with their sacrifices to their idols. Now, all of a sudden, lightning strikes twelve and they want to worship GOD in synagogues and read the Talmud to boot?! Puhlease! Read the following Scripture about rebellious Israel and see if this notion holds merit:
"Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord." Deuteronomy 9:7
"We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God." Jeremiah 3:25
"I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
"The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness." Jeremiah 22:21,22
"And she [Jerusalem] hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
"Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare neither will I have any pity." Ezekiel 5:6,11
If you want to learn about the Truth concerning the background of People and the credibility of their theologies, then don't look for integrity and honesty within their philosophies and their books. Look for evidence of their authenticity and legitimacy in the period of history in which they lived and weigh this data against every source of information available. The following is to help you with understanding the period after Nehemiah: the reign of the Gentiles at that time and the identity of those groups calling themselves "Jews," the Seed of Jacob:
The Medio-Persian Empire: 539 - 330 B.C.E.
The Grecian (Macedonian, Seleucid, Hellenistic) Empire: 334 - 64 B.C.E.
The Roman Empire: 27 B.C.E - 565 C.E.
INCLUSION OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION
So writes Elias J. Bickerman, author of The Jews in the Greek Age about the "synagogue:"
"We have noted that as early as the middle of the third century B.C.E. houses of prayer existed even in the villages of Ptolemaic Egypt. And despite the fact that no evidence about prayer houses outside Egypt in the pre-Maccabean period has yet come to light, it is difficult to believe that in Antioch, for instance, where a synagogue is attested around 150 B.C.E., none had existed a century before." Page 241,242
I guess not. Judah didn't use them, and Edom was too busy getting forged documents together at that time to be involved in establishing one. I might add that just as alien was the "synagogue" to Judah was also the word "Rabbi."
"Despite much theorizing, when and how the synagogue emerged is not known. Synagogue buildings existed in Egypt and Palestine in the last three centuries BC. Long before the destruction of the Temple (AD 70), the synagogues of Palestine and the Diaspora were the functioning centers of Judaism and were used by the PHARISEES and their successors, the rabbis (see RABBI), to create a unified and informed Jewish community." Grolier's Encyclopedia
I quite understand why there is little information on "when and how the synagogue emerged." It's all about confusing the facts dealing with who's really who of the Seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Funny how there is no question concerning when and how the very first church emerged. Hmmm. Whatever, if you will recall, GOD stated that HIS Chosen People would serve false gods (Deuteronomy 28:64) in their enemies' lands. GOD did not lie! The European Jews have been using the Name of the GOD of Israel since before the first century B.C.E., and they have "migrated" - not taken by captors, but MIGRATED to wherever they decided to live and prosper - and have they ever! Just another conflicting scenario regarding who's who and what's what with the biological Israelites who were cursed to serve their enemies and be the tail, byword, and proverb in the four corners of this Earth. To be sure, those who know nothing about Black Hebrew Israelites can tell you who runs the banks, owns the newspapers, runs Wall Street, the Diamond District, and dictates to the United States, etc., etc. It ain't the Chinese; that's for sure!
"The Sanhedrin was the highest Jewish tribunal during the period of Greek and Roman rule over Palestine. The composition and functions of the Sanhedrin are the subject of scholarly debate because Talmudic and Greek sources differ in their accounts of the institution. According to the former, it was a council of 71 sages whose chief function was the interpretation of Jewish law, with some political and judicial duties. Hellenistic sources, on the other hand, describe the Sanhedrin as having substantial political and judicial authority, as being composed primarily of the priestly, aristocratic SADDUCEES (with some influential PHARISEES), and as being presided over by the high priest. Some scholars have suggested that two Sanhedrins existed, one religious and one civil."
"The Sadducees were a Jewish religious sect that flourished from about 200 BC until the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. A priestly and aristocratic group, the Sadducees owed their power to political alliance with the Romans, who ruled their land. They opposed the use of Oral Law by the PHARISEES and held only to the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament). They also differed with the Pharisees on many theological tenets: for example, they did not believe in resurrection and the immortality of the soul. According to the New Testament, the Sadducees played a leading role in the trial and condemnation of Jesus.
"The Pharisees were a major Jewish sect from the 2d century BC to the 2d century AD. The seeds of Pharisaism were planted during the Babylonian Captivity (587-536 BC), and a clearly defined party emerged during the revolt of the MACCABEES (167-165 BC) against the Seleucid rulers of Syria-Palestine. The origin of the name Pharisees is uncertain; one suggestion renders it as "those separated," meaning separation from impurity and defilement. The name first appeared during the reign of John Hyrcanus (135-105 BC), whom the Pharisees opposed because of his assumption of both the royal and high-priestly titles and because of the general secularism of the court. Grolier's Encyclopedia
I beg to differ with Mr. Grolier with his assertion that "The seeds of Pharisaism were planted during the Babylonian Captivity (587-536 BC). Although many of the Israelites who returned from Babylon rejected GOD's Law, there is no record of their embracing Pharisaic theology in the Books of Ezra or Nehemiah, and there is no record of their even thinking about embracing it either.
"The remarkable fact, however, is that Jewish exegetes seem never to have known a historical tradition independent of the Bible. While the Jews of the Hellenistic age could still obtain some information concerning the last Babylonian king, Nabonidus, who is not mentioned in Scripture, they apparently preserved no written or oral memory, for example, about the fall of Jerusalem, except the brief and dry report in the Bible." Page 179 of The Jews in the Greek Age
I am not one bit surprised! If I were disguising myself as someone else, I would conveniently forget obvious facts and misplace documents of certain periods in history, as well! It's called "covering your behind!" to put it nicely.
"Rabbi (Hebrew for "my master") is the title given recognized Jewish religious teachers, sages, and leaders. Originally a form of respectful address, it became a formal title in the 1st century AD for those authorized by their teachers--after an examination on Scripture and the law--to interpret and expound the Jewish law." Grolier's Encyclopedia
It should also be noted that many people were converting to "Judaism," i.e., calling themselves Jews during the Grecian and Roman Empires and Middle Ages, when in fact they were Europeans. And it's difficult to know whether these folks were Edomites, Greek, Romans, Khazars (some identify them as also coming from Hungary), or other descendants of Japheth within the 350 years before the so-called coming of JC, and the years thereafter. By the way, Ashkenaz (or spelled Ashchenaz) is a descendant of Japheth (the European Nations) - not Shem! Therefore, "European" Jews are properly designated as such. And no amount of extreme and pious conversion can make a "European" a "Shemite." A "Stranger" is termed a "Stranger" and can never become a biological Israelite from the Seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
I used to wonder why on Earth "Israelites" would translate the Torah from Hebrew to Greek. I stopped wondering a long time ago when I realized that those responsible for doing so were not Israelites.
"The Septuagint, commonly designated LXX, is the oldest Greek version of the Old Testament of the BIBLE, the title "seventy" referring to the tradition that it was the work of 70 translators (or 72 in some traditions). The translation was made from the Hebrew Bible by Hellenistic Jews during the period 275-100 BC at Alexandria." Grolier's Encyclopedia
It should be noted that the "Jews" later rejected the Septuagint and started doing their own religious writings about Scripture to rival this "piece of work" for Jews in the Diaspora. The Septuagint later became a Greek Bible only for the church.
Again, check out those dates! We are faced with the same period following the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and the taking of Judah into exile under the Gentiles. During 275-100 B.C., the so-called Jews of this period were a very influential and powerful people before 70 A.D. Their status resembled nothing of the curse that fell upon Judah.
The Jews of the Selucid Empire were proud of their military exploits in the service of their pagan overlord. II Maccabees (8:20) boldly ascribes to Jewish troops the glory of the most famous Seleucid victory, the defeat of the Gauls (who had invaded Asia Minor) by Antiochus I in 275 B.C.E." Page 93 of Jews in the Greek Age
Notice how the author said "proud of their military exploits." He didn't say anything about these people being the tail and their enemies the head (Deuteronomy 28th Chapter). Hmmm.
THE SO-CALLED PRIESTS OF THE GRECIAN AND ROMAN ERA: THE "ZADOKITES"
"But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:" Ezekiel 44:15
Were the priests of the Grecian/Roman Era of the Seed of Zadok? From all indications, they couldn't have been. However, the real sons of Zadok will again serve YIHOVAH in HIS future Temple. For sure, these Priests of Levi went into captivity just like the other Tribes of Israel. But just as the Holy ONE is preserving a Righteous Remnant and the Seed of King David, HE is also preserving the Seed of the sons of Zadok to once again serve HIM in HIS Holy Temple. You can bet on it!
"Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
"And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations." Ezekiel 6:8,9
My point is also that as late as the period of Ezra and Nehemiah, the genealogy of priests was still very carefully scrutinized:
"And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:
"These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood." Ezra 2:61,62
And had any of their names been Maccabee or Hasmon, then they also would have been denied the priesthood. Neither of these names can be found in the Bible.
Randall Price in his book, Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls, provides us with information that would cause us to question the so-called Zadokites who lived at the time of the Essenes and the Sadducees.
"Because the Sadducees differed from the Essenes in various areas of belief and practice, it is unlikely that they could be identified with the Qumran community. However, if both the Essenes and the Sadducees had the same priestly origins-that is, from the line of Zadok-they might still exhibit many areas of agreement on legal matters while remaining separate groups. Alternately, it could be possible that neither belonged to the line of Zadok but simply called themselves Zadokites as a term for and a claim to priestly legitimacy." Pages 109,110
More very interesting information found in the Gospel Truth by Russell Shorto provides much food for thought, as well.
"Following their momentous victory against the Greek-Syrian tyranny, the family of Mattathias became hereditary rulers of Palestine. Instead of leading a renaissance of Jewish tradition, as one might expect, the Hasmoneans, as they became known, soon adopted many of the very hellenistic ways they had bravely fought against; they too became intoxicated by Greekness. They strengthened ties with Rome, and even with Antiochus' son.
"Most ominously, in 152 B.C.E. Jonathan Maccabeus appointed himself high priest of the Temple." Page 76
"One of the many outrages committed by Antiochus was his breaking of the Zadokite succession when, in 175 B.C.E., he installed one of his henchmen as high priest.
"But as the Maccabees consolidated their power, they found that the office of high priest was so potent they couldn't afford to give it away. They decided instead to institute a new priestly bloodline: their own." Page 77
"The Romans kept the Hasmoneans nominally in power. Most importantly, the family retained control of the Temple priesthood. Then in 40 B.C.E. a conniving Idumean half-Jew, a commoner who had insinuated himself into the dynasty, befriended the powerful Roman general Marc Antony and traveled with him to Rome, where he prostrated himself before Caesar and the Senate, put forth the case that he was the best man to drag the feral Jewish race into civilized vassaldom, and emerged with as much power as a Jew could expect under Roman rule, and coveted title: King Herod." Page 86
Awww, but read what Bickerman has to say about a, supposedly, High Priest sitting in the position of a Zadokite:
"The memory of the Zadokite pontificates soon faded in Maccabean and Roman Jerusalem. Josephus is already ignorant of the exact history of the Zadokite dynasty in the postbiblical period. He draws on two versions of a list of those who followed the High Priest Joshua, who served under Darious I. Josephus begins his list with a Jaddua who was a contemporary of Alexander the Great, but who is identified by Josephus with the Jaddua in the list of Nehemiah 12:10, who held office around 400 B.C.E. On the other hand, at the end of Josephus' list the apostate High Priest Menelaos, who was not even a Zadokite, appears as a brother of Onias, the last legitimate High Priest. As falsification benefited the Hasmoneans, who had supplanted the legitimate line in 153 B.C.E., it is probable that Josephus here followed a Hasmonean list."Page 144
"Simon II [from a list of High Priests around the period 153 B.C.E.] was enshrined in Pharisaic tradition and afterward in rabbinic tradition as well. The Pharisees first appear in history toward the end of the second century B.C.E., but it is not until about a century later that, in the fashion in which the Greeks noted the succession of masters within a philosophical school, the Pharisees constructed a genealogy of the masters of their school in the form of a chain of tradition that linked them to the biblical age. They made it clear that the deposit of faith given to Moses on Sinai had been handed down ultimately to Hillel and Shammaj - not to Sadducees, or to the Essenes, or to the sectarians of the Dead Sea." Page 145
So, the Pharisees construct a genealogy that goes all the way back to the biblical age just so they can get Mr. Hillel to change GOD's Law to one that meets their approval. BRUTHUH! Not only did these people have power and authority, but they had too much of it.
Now, if that doesn't open up a can of worms, nothing will! However, my question is if these so-called High Priests of the Maccabeans were in fact the Seed of Judah, and if Nehemiah and those other Judahites acknowledged GOD's Law (Nehemiah 8th Chapter), then why didn't the Maccabeans do so, as well, rather than embrace the Pharisaic tradition? The only answer to this question could be that the so-called Maccabean High Priests were none other than Edomites and not Judahites.
"The hellenization of Palestine came to a climax in 175 B.C.E., when the grecophile high priest Jason formally declared Jerusalem a Greek city, which he called Antioch-at-Jerusalem, and founded a gymnasium there. Now, a gymnasium of the hellenistic age was not merely a sports center but a place for indoctrinating young men of the Empire into Greek culture. At the gymnasium, would-be gentlemen of the important cities studied philosophy, rhetoric, and of course the Greek language, focusing on Homer." Page 72 in Shorto's book entitled Gospel Truth.
More shenanigans by so-called High Priests of the Most High GOD?! Would the Seed of Zadok really do such a trespass as this?!
Another thing; it is highly unlikely that the genuine sons of Zadok would minister to GOD in a Temple built by Herod and one that would be so wickedly influenced by Gentiles. Actually, this is so far fetched that only the truly gullible and foolish would accept this as Truth. You don't really believe that GOD would have an Edomite, that HE hates (Malachi 1:2,3), to build HIS Temple, when HE rejected King David's offer to do so, when he was a man after HIS own heart (I Samuel 13:14)? Come on, My People, think!
"Although the old priest [Mattathias] died in the following year, 166 B.C., he bequeathed the cause to his five brave sons. The rebels chose the third son, Judas, as the new leader.
"While the late Mattathias and his sons bore the family designation of Hasmonaeans, this newer head of the clan received the surname of Maccabaeus, which was soon transferred to other members of the group." This information comes from a book entitled Reader's Digest Story of the Bible World. Page 110
Here we find that people took on the surname "Maccabaeus," and from doing so, we can imagine who all became so-called Priests of the Tribe of Levi.
At this point, it should be obvious that any number of people and/or groups were using the name of the sons of Levi and exploiting GOD's Truth and profaning HIS Holy Name. Please believe me, the Nation of Israel, GOD's Chosen People, were not there but were long gone into captivity under the Gentiles at this time. Those who know Scripture, please bear in mind the above considerations.
Understanding The Dead Sea Scrolls by Hershel Shanks is another very interesting book that provides more information in the research of the events that took place during the Grecian and Roman periods:
"As matters turned out, however, the Hasmoneans brought not a return to orthodoxy but increased Hellenization. Even Judas himself signed a treaty of friendship with the Roman Senate and employed partly Hellenized Jews as his ambassadors. Finally, in 152 B.C., Jonathan had himself appointed Hight Priest - another usurpation; for many Jews this act was a great provocation and the strongest reason for abhoring the Hasmoneans.
"According to the Palestinian theory of Essene origins, it was in this atmosphere that the Essene movement began. Jews, disgusted with what they believed to be the pollution of their ancestral religion and revolted by usurpation of the High Priesthood by non-Zadokites, rallied behand a man they called Moreh Tzedek, the Teacher of Righteousness. No doubt the Teacher of Righteousness was of the Zadokite line, a legitimate claimant to the title of High Priest. He was opposed, however, by the Wicked Priest who ruled illegitimately in Jerusalem." Page 80
"A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.Ezekiel 5:12
Three-thirds equals a whole; the whole of all twelve Tribes of Israel went into captivity before the coming of the Maccabees and during the Grecian reign. Therefore, those folks calling themselves "Jews" in the land of Israel during the Roman Empire were not Hebrew Israelites. And JC was anything but from the Seed of King David. Hence, there is no basis for calling JC the "Son of GOD" and absolutely no Truth to the "New Testament." By the way, if the "NT" can (falsely though it may be) trace JC's lineage down to King David, then that all the more proves he was of the seed of man and not GOD, as some people really and truly believe - believe it or not! The more I think about it, the more I realize that the folks who conjured up this tale weren't too bright. They should have done their homework and should have worn their thinking caps while establishing this ill-advised conspiracy. Ill-advised though it was, it worked; but only because it was supposed to be successful in causing the true Israelites to be forgotten and to be taken captive into their enemies' lands.
"Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
"Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by." Ezekiel 5:12 - 14
"The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
"The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
"For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my song is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
"Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstrous woman among them." Lamentations 1:14 - 17
"Behold the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
"And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
"In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
"They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy God, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again." Amos 8:11 - 14
Please do not assume that GOD put Judah into the hands of the enemy during the days of Nehemiah and removed the curse during the Grecian/Roman Era and then, again, cast them back into exile in 70 A.D. This couldn't be further from the Truth and makes no sense whatsoever! To accept this series of events is to dismiss important documentation and essential Scripture that clearly does not place Judah in Israel and empowered during the Grecian period. Again, please consider all the Scriptural information and all the historical facts submitted in this Message.
THE BOOKS OF THE MACCABEES
I Maccabees was written around 110 B.C.E. and is about resistance against the Seleucid forces.
II Maccabees was written prior to 63 B.C.E. and outlines an earlier work by Jason and Cyrene.
III Maccabees was written around 50 B.C.E. and concerns the persecution of the Egyptian Jews.
IV Maccabees was written around 25 A.D. and is about the philosophical discussion of the primary of reason, governed by religious laws, over passion.
It's very important to know that the contents of these Maccabean Books and the Talmud in no way even parallel the Books that contain "Thus Saith the Lord." But on the contrary, the Books of the Maccabees are about Hasmonean struggles, and the Talmud is merely about European Jews changing GOD's Ordinances for their own self-serving ideals.
THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS
Following is information from Grolier's Encyclopedia on The Dead Sea Scrolls that in no way describes or parallels the life style of the Nation of Israel:
"The Dead Sea Scrolls are Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts discovered (1947-56) in caves near Wadi QUMRAN, in what is now the Israeli-occupied West Bank, on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. They were left there by a Jewish community that lived in the area around the time of Christ. The scrolls contain several types of Jewish religious literature, including many
