ISRAEL NAME AND NATURE
As the World decides: to be Jewish is hazardous and to be Israeli is possibly worse; it should be instructive to many to point out, until recently Israel was not a place but has been, for thousands of years, a People. Those people, Israel, the descendants of Jacob, the leaven of Humanity, are now spread throughout the World.
But this is to follow the beaten track into the assumption that all Israel is Jew and that Jew is Israel. This is mistaken. In fact it is so badly mistaken that in all probability, many of those in the World today who berate Israel and the Jews are themselves Children of Israel genetically. As such also, they qualify to inherit spiritually the Blessings of the Covenant of The Book. The Covenant of The Book did not come into existence either with Moses’ interviews with I Am nor with the Laws handed down from the Mount.
The Covenant People originated as the Children of Man and as such are all the descendants of Adam – but yes, there were to be an elect.
So often, Biblical and Hebrew History is characterised as demoting and alienating many of Mankind. The reality is, a loving Father in heaven selected those from among whom he would preserve his Promise to all.
A glance at the History of Mankind reveals that, generally, even the more prosperous Peoples were unworthy to bear any title to Goodness. The fleeting greatness that History has bestowed generally is illuminated by the flaming corpses of the victims and the profligate activities of the victors.
Hebrew History graphically demonstrates the amount of chiding, rewarding and ‘cutting off’ necessary to preserve a limb of Humanity that would at least revere a relationship with God. And of course, for Christians, even that includes the required martyrdom of Jesus who’s recollection was. “Oh Jerusalem! How often would I have gathered ye, as a hen gathereth her chickens. But ye would not!”
So we do not wish to set apart the People of The Book as in some way more pliable nor more receptive to the Covenant, as a rebuke to others. Rather we observe Jacob, who was in fact Israel, made the point that his son Joseph would be as a vine that grew over a wall. Subsequently, with the division after Solomon, the Ten Tribes of the north alienated themselves from Judah and Jerusalem in the south. It was these alienated Tribes that were first scattered, leaving for a little while Judah, while they remain to this day Israel, fully included in the eternal Covenant of the Father, while not necessarily regarding themselves as Jews.
Christian Zionists? A good try.
Messianic Zionists? A good try.
Nevertheless, all of these side fairly spiritedly with society’s detractors of the Jews.
A Test: Think about placing a small Jewish Flag, a Flag of Israel, on your motorcar.
Probably you recoiled with a ‘commonsense’ pragmatism from the open invitation to faceless strangers who likely would damage your precious automobile!
So that establishes the truth in what Mark Silverberg was saying about the Societies in which we live.
What WE are saying is that Anti-Semitism, like all forms of racism, is simply a form of self-loathing. Genetically and in terms of DNA, the ‘markers’ of the Jews also are everywhere.
Consider the true descent, looking backwards up the genealogical tree and it becomes so very much easier to see how we are so intimately related.
Not all Israelis are Jews but all Jews are Children of Israel. Israel was Jacob.
Not all Hebrews are Israelites but all Israelites are descendants of Eber, through Abram/Abraham.
Not all Semites are Hebrews but all Hebrews are descended from Shem.
We accept that, of all the Hebrews, Abram was chosen as the one Loyal enough and Faithful to receive the Abrahamic Covenant. Noah had been accepted in his time on a similar basis. Not that all other members of Mankind were sentenced by a hateful and vengeful God but simply, they self-selected for destruction. A brief look at the World we live in today would reveal many people are only preserved by the simple fact, for now, killing them off would be shown on Television and people who watch their own lives from the comfort of their sofas would demand “something must be done”.
We are almost out of the age when sinners will continue to be preserved. In our age the Flood is more likely to be one of Blood.
The Abrahamic Covenant did not preserve the children of Abraham from the natural vicissitudes of life. Laws of the Universe and of Natural Accountability ensure that even the good die young. But such has been the Nobility of the Spiritual Descendants of Abraham that they have preserved a Record.
For this reason, Abraham was the recipient of God’s Eternal Covenant.
As a matter of interest, if YOU are reading this with a mindset that accepts the existence of God (no offence intended to Jews), then you would be amenable to the suggestion that, in this world, there is one who personifies the trials and persecutions of ALL Mankind. That One would of course reserve a similar interest to that of the Father, in his dealings with the Jews.
Satan is as real on Earth as God in heaven and just as we are preserved in the love of the Father we are destroyed in the hatred of satan. This World today is awash with satan’s ire and his hatred of each and every human being. Nobody is exempt from his desire for each of us to share his fate. Like the old poster of the Marshall, consider satan with his finger extended – “I Want You!”
The angels are very conversant with all this but you should pause for a moment, especially some of you, to consider to yourself, how many of satan’s followers are in you? Recall how Jesus stepped ashore and found a man ‘torn by spirits’. “What is your name?” he asked. “My name is Legion” was the reply, “For we are many!”
So yes, he is here and he wants your body!
What would lucifer want you to do with your body?
Well. He hasn’t GOT a physical body like yours so he would like you to participate in every conceivable debauchery it can physically withstand, until you are dead. Then he will move on to someone else’s body. Not just him personally, you understand, but as many as they can cram in there! Is your body like one of those Guinness Book of Records attempts at cramming how many into a Mini Minor? hahaha “We are many!”
AND Yes! If lucifer and his pals can enthuse you in the destruction of the Jews and all they stand for, that would be good. Along the way, if those who are sufficiently motivated to destroy the Jews are themselves legal inheritors of the Abrahamic Covenant – so much the better! More birds with the same old Historical stone.
What we mean is that the Time has come.
Israel is not just a Country hedged about by Arabs, near the Mediterranean Sea.
Israel is the pure in heart.
Zion is the pure in heart.
You may not be a Jew but it’s very difficult now, given the ebb and flow of genes globally, to believe you are not entitled to the Promises of the Abrahamic Covenant.
Yeh! Drag eh? An Israelite.
Do not deny your Birthright.
Your Father is God.
