S101-4. Are the JEWS HEBREW ISRAELITES?

 

Chapter 5.

 

Some Christians, namely, those who call themselves “Jesus Words ONLY” believers, sincerely believe with all of their heart that ALL of the people that are called by the name “Jews” in the New Testament are Edomites. In other words, the Christians who claim that Paul is a FALSE teacher INTERPRET the phrase, “men of Judaea” in Acts 2:14 to be GENTILES from the Gentile nations listed in Acts 2:5-14

Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture so that you can see that people of the Hebrew RACE of people being BORN in a Gentile country does NOT mean that they MUST be a GENTILE. How can being BORN in another country CHANGE a person’s RACE? It cannot! If a Chinese married couple move to Africa and their children are BORN in Africa, then does the RACE of their children CHANGE to be born as black Africans? NO! Absolutely NOT! The RACE of Chinese parents will ALWAYS be Chinese. And the children born to the Hebrew RACE of people will ALWAYS be Hebrews no matter what country they are BORN in and raised. Please consider a Black African married couple living in China who have children BORN in China. Clearly the children are or the SAME race as their parents. Now consider the parents teaching or having their children to be taught the Chinese LANGUAGE. Does a Black African learning the Chinese language make him or her become the Chinese RACE simply because they can understand the Chinese language? Did Daniel lose his FAITH while in Babylonian captivity? Absolutely NOT! So keep this TRUTH in mind that the children of Israel did not CHANGE or LOSE their faith while being captive in Babylon as you read about the “men of Judaea” in the following passage of Scripture.

 

Acts 2:5-14.

 

“And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, OUT OF every nation under heaven. (In other words, there were Judahites of the Tribe of Judah and other devout Israelites that were DISPERSED into every nation. For you see, there was more than one scattering of the Hebrew race of people. During the conquest of the children of Israel by the Assyrians in 733 BC they were taken captive in the land of the Assyrians. And during the conquest by the Babylonians in 586 BC the Hebrew people were taken to Babylon for SEVENTY YEARS. But 70 years later after the Babylonian conquest, the Hebrew people were allowed to RETURN to their HOMELAND, according to the prophecy in Jeremiah 25:11,12, 2 Chronicles 36:20-23, Daniel 9:2-13, Zechariah 1:12-17, and many other prophecies to REBUILD Jerusalem and the house of God. Therefore, many Judahites did indeed return to the land of Judah in or around 516 BC to REBUILD the city of Jerusalem. But other Hebrew people may have remained in Babylon while others migrated to other NATIONS to become what is called the DIASPORA. So then, OUT OF or FROM every NATION where the children of Israel were DISPERSE came to Jerusalem to hear about the Messiah being raised from the dead. Now, obviously, the Hebrew parents of the men of Israel DIED, but while living in Babylon and other foreign countries AND even after returning to their OWN homeland of Judah, they bore Hebrew children and taught them the Law of Moses. But again, the parents themselves died before their Messiah was born. In other words, SOME of those of the DISPERSED of Israel who were BORN out of every nation under heaven, who were ALSO INCLUDED the Judahites, had children who were BORN in the land of Judah after they RETURNED 70 years later. So then, OUT OF every country, INCLUDING the land of Judah, they ALL came to the CITY of Jerusalem when they HEARD about Jesus, the man from Galilee being raised from the dead. You see, the Day of Pentecost is fifty days after the feast of Passover, which was when the Messiah was said to have been raised from the dead after three days)

6.  Now when this was noised (Or made known) ABROAD, the multitude came together, and were confused, because every man HEARD them speak in his own language. (The wonderful works of God, according to Acts 2:11 below. This does NOT dogmatically mean that the 120 Israelites SPOKE in every language of every country listed in the following verses. But rather, it simply means that God opened their ears to HEAR and UNDERSTAND what the 120 were saying in their OWN language. A Christian can speak in other tongues that is a language such as Chinese which they do NOT know or understand, but someone in the congregation who KNOWS and understands the Chinese language can HEAR what the Christian speaking in tongues is saying in their OWN language)

7.  And they were all AMAZED and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans? (The LAND of the children of Israel was divided into three sections, Samaria, Galilee, and Judah also called Juda, Judaea, and Judea, And the LAND of Esau or the Edomites was called Mount Seir on the OTHER SIDE of Jordan which is south and east of the land of Israel, both the northern and southern kingdom. In other words, the Edomite people did NOT live in the land of Judah, they live south of the land of Judah AND on the OTHER side of the River Jordan)

8.  And how do we HEAR every man in our own tongue, wherein we were BORN? (Again, the DISPERSED of Israel being BORN in another country does NOT make them to be GENTILES. The ONLY reason for WHY the Jesus words only Christians “INTERPRET” this passage of Scripture to mean that ALL of the people called the “JEWS” in the New Testament is because Jesus referred to SOME of the Jew as being children of the Devil, which is called Satan, according to Revelation 12:9. But that does NOT dogmatically mean that EVERY single JEW in the New Testament were the GENTILES called the Edomites as the Jesus word only Christians CLAIM. For you see, Jesus called the Apostle Peter Satan and we all know that Peter is an Israelite and NOT a child of the Devil. 

But what some Christians have overlooked is that Simon Peter was a CANAANITE, the neighbors of the descendants of Ishmael. In other words, Simon Peter was BORN from his ancestors that were of the DISPERSED of Israel and returned to the land of Canaan. So Simon Peter was BORN in the land of Canaan, which in the Old Testament was the land of the descendants of Ham, the son of Noah. And the neighbors to the land of the Canaanites are the Ishmaelites and also the Edomites. 

In other words, all of the countries surrounding Judaea, Samaria, and Galilee are now presently GENTILE countries, that is the LAND actually given to the children of Israel to be divided among the 12 tribes of Israel, according to Ezekiel 48:1-29, Genesis 15:18, Exodus 23:31-33, Deuteronomy 1:7,8, Deuteronomy 11:24, Numbers 34:1-15, Joshua 1:2-4, and 2 Samuel 8:1-15. Here is a MAP of the TRUE Promised Land of Israel which Almighty God PROMISED them and that Jesus the Messiah will CONQUER for the Hebrew Israelite people called the JEWS at his return. In other words, Jesus will gather the REMNANT of the children of Israel called the Jews from all over the world to dwell in their land promised to the SEED of JACOB by Almighty God Himself. For you see, the land from the Euphrates river to the Mediterranean Sea to the Nile river was and NOT promised to the seed of Ishmael and the seed of Esau of any or the OTHER Gentile nations in the lineage of Ham and Japheth. According to Luke 3:36, Jesus is in the lineage of Noah’s son Shem that is spelled as Sem in the New Testament)

9.  Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, AND in Judaea, (And thus, some of these men of Judaea were Jews were BORN in the LAND of Judah. And the OTHER DISPERSED Judahites were BORN in other countries listed above and below) and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 

10.  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and (Or more correctly translated as INDEED) strangers of Rome, Jews AND proselytes

11.  Cretes and Arabians, we do HEAR them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. (Again, a miracle of God opening the ears to HEAR or to UNDERSTAND what the 120 Israelites were speaking in other tongues in their OWN language in the country they were BORN in. Notice that NONE of the nations listed above is the Edomite nation. Here is a link to a map showing the location of each country listed above. Click on the city of Jerusalem to enlarge the map. PART of the Edomite nation is in Petra, but it did not extend to the north. Moab is the border of Edom to the north)

12.  And they were all AMAZED, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean? 

13.  Others mockingly said, These men are full of new wine. 

14.  But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, You men of Judaea, AND ALL you that dwell at Jerusalem, (Speaking of the men of Israel from the northern tribes of the children of Israel) be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:”

 

So again, as you can plainly see, NONE of the countries listed above are the Edomite land called Idumea in the Old Testament and spelled as Idumaea in the New Testament in Matthew 3:7,8. Here is a link to a map if you did not look at it yet. Click on the city of Jerusalem to enlarge the map. And, as you can clearly see, being BORN in another country does not make them the RACE of the descendants of any of those other countries or nations. Also, the PROSYLITES appear to be ONLY from Rome with some Jews visiting from Rome. Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture in Mathew chapter 3 so that you can see that Jesus HIMSELF clearly distinguishes that there is a DIFFERENCE between the men of Judea and those from Idumaea.

 

Please read Mark 3:7,8.

 

“But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, (Translated from the Greek word “Ioudaia”, Strong’s number G2449, the SAME Greek word translated as the men of Judaea in Acts 2:14)

8.  And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, (Translated from the Greek word “Idoumaia” Strong’s number G2401, which is from the Hebrew origin H123 translated as Edom meaning red) and from beyond Jordan; (Or trans Jordan, as in, on the other SIDE of the Jordan river) and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.”

 

So then, CLEARLY, the Bible ITSELF does NOT teach us that the Jews of the Israelite TRIBE of JUDAH, called the men of Judaea in Acts 2:14, are the Edomite people from the region of Idumaea who ALSO followed Jesus. In other words, the Edomite people may LOOK like a Jew, ACT like a Jew, and even CLAIM to be the true people of God by being in the lineage of the FIRSTBORN son, Ishmael and Esau. But according to the Bible ITSELF, they are NOT of the SEED of Jacob whom God gave the name Israel. And thus, the Edomite people are NOT the TRUE JEWS of the twelve Tribes of Israel. And Jesus DISCERNED that SOME of his followers who were among those called the Jews in the New Testament of the Bible were NOT the TRUE Israelites of the seed of Jacob. But rather, they were of the seed of Ishmael and Esau whom Jesus PROPHESIED in John that they would follow and believe ANOTHER who would come in his OWN NAME. 

 

Please read John 5:43.

 

“I have come in my Father's name, and you receive me not: if ANOTHER shall come in his OWN NAME, then you will receive him.”

 

And in the context in John 5:1,18, we can clearly see that Jesus is speaking to the JEWS who KEEP the FEAST of the Jews in Jerusalem.

Now, the Jesus Words ONLY Christians INTERPRET John 5:43 to be a prophecy of the Apostle Paul coming in his OWN NAME.

But here is the problem that I see with their “interpretation”. Remember that Jesus is talking to the JEW who would NOT believe that Jesus is the Messiah and that they WOULD FOLLOW another who would come in his OWN NAME. So simply ask yourself the following question.

 

“Do ANY JEWS in the New Testament who does NOT believe in Jesus as their Messiah FOLLOW the Apostle Paul?”

 

NO! Absolutely NOT! The JEWS and the Gentiles who followed the Apostle Paul, followed him AS he himself followed Jesus, and they ALL believed in Jesus as their Messiah. So to me, it is IMPOSSIBLE for this prophecy of Jesus to be referring to the Apostle Paul.

Now, I believe that this prophecy of Jesus was fulfilled in Muhammad who came in his OWN NAME. And it was the Edomite people and the Ishmaelites who FOLLOW their prophet Muhammad and the faith of Islam which DENIES that God has a Son. 

So then, the FACT of TRUTH that SOME of the people in the Bible that called THEMSELVES the children of Abraham does NOT dogmatically mean that they were the TRUE Jews who BELIEVED in Jesus and FOLLOWED the teaching of Jesus under the New Covenant written in the New Testament. Therefore, EVERY SINGLE person called the JEWS in the New Testament of the Bible are NOT ALL the Edomite people as the Jesus Words ONLY Christians sincerely believe with all their mind and heart. 

They argue tooth and nail that Jesus was prophesying of the Apostle Paul coming in his OWN NAME. And therefore, they wrongly conclude that the whole church and the whole world has been deceived by Satan to supposedly wrongly believe that the word “JEW” in the Bible refers to the children of the Tribe of Judah and the Tribe of Benjamin that joined the Tribe of Judah to dwell in the LAND that is called the land of Judaea in the Bible. But again, the ONLY reason that the Jesus Words ONLY Christians believe this way is because they cannot RESIST the teachings of Paul in the same way that SOME of the LEADERS of the Jews could NOT resist the teachings of Stephen, according to Acts 6:8-15 and Acts 7:51-60

Notice that Jesus said the SAME thing that Stephen said in Acts 7:52, almost word for word when Stephen said to the children of Israel called the JEWS, “Which of the prophets did YOUR fathers not stone.” And when Jesus said basically the same words to the JEWS, they answered Jesus back and said, if WE would have lived back in those days, then WE would have NOT shed their blood. So you can see that the Jews did NOT DENY that their fathers killed some of the prophets that God sent to them. In other words, God did NOT send His prophets to the Edomite people.

Now, because the Jews boasted and said that if they lived back at the time of their fathers that THEY would have NOT shed the blood of the prophets. So God sent Jesus and Jesus sent us to be persecuted and killed so that the blood of ALL of the prophets from Abel to Zachariah will be on the hands of the children of Israel, INCLUDING the Tribe of Judah,  according to Matthew 5:12

So then, clearly seeing that NO JEWS who REJECTED Jesus FOLLOWED the Apostle Paul and that God sent NO prophets to the Edomite people, then to me, it is IMPOSSIBLE for ALL of the Jews in the Bible to be the Edomite people and NOT the TRUE JEWS or true Judahites as the Jesus Words ONLY Christians WRONGLY CLAIM.

Again, the only reason for WHY the Jesus Words ONLY Christians argue that the Jews in the Bible and in the land of Israel are FAKE JEWS and NOT true Hebrew Israelites is because they cannot RESIST the teachings of the Apostle Paul. And, since the Apostle Paul is already dead, the Jesus Words ONLY Christians have to get RID of the TEACHINGS of Paul by CLAIMING that Satan appeared to Saul and NOT Jesus so they can ease their conscience to keep the Law of Moses. For you see, Paul and the WHOLE church gave NO SUCH COMMANDMENT to keep the Law of Moses, according to Acts 15:10-24.

So then, I want all Christians who DOUBT that the Apostle Paul is teaching the TRUTH according to the revelations taught to him by Jesus himself and the Holy Spirit to truly CONSIDER the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:40,41.

 

Matthew 25:40,41.

 

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto ONE of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto ME

41.  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:”


 In other words, if you DENY the teachings of the Apostles of Jesus you are DENYING the teachings of Jesus. Whatever you do to or say ABOUT a servant of Jesus you are doing to and saying the same thing about Jesus. So if you call the Apostle Paul a FALSE Apostle, then that is the SAME as calling Jesus himself a FALSE Apostle.

And Yahweh Himself said that as the children of Israel rejected Him so shall they reject Samuel.

 

1 Samuel 8:7,8.

 

“And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto you: for they have not rejected you, but they have REJECTED ME, that I should not reign over them. 

8.  According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they ALSO unto you.”

 

Again, the Edomite people were NOT in bondage on the land of Egypt. But rather, it was the children of Israel from all twelve tribes of Israel that were in bondages in the land of Israel. So then, ALL of the children of Israel from EVERY tribe were STIFFNECKED and SOME of the Jews believe the words of Jesus and his disciples while OTHER Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah and PERSECUTED the Christians. And in the Old Testament ALL of the children of Israel from EVERY tribe were ALL called the Jews beginning at the time of the Babylonian captivity.
