Christian Study

Churches teach what is politically correct. Those who hate Christ teach that we are all the same and that race is only a social construct. They teach that there are no difference between peoples except for themselves of course. Christians have also been taught that it isn’t race, it is faith that is important. Many who travel or do missionary work know none of this is true. Those who do in depth study in scripture of this know this is not true. If you believe these lies then you have to ask yourself why concerning the following information that is never taught in churches. Why did they never try to convert people of forbidden lineages?

I was reminded of this while listening to Jeremiah 25 where twice one finds the phrase “mingled people”. God made the races. He noted a difference between them in the text of scripture. Here is my list of verses that mention mixed or mingled people from many years ago.

Exodus 12:38, Numbers 11:4, Ezra 9:2, Nehemiah 13:3, Psalms 106:35, Jeremiah 25:20, 24, Jeremiah 50:37, Ezekiel 30:5, Hosea 7:8, and in the Greek, Philippians 2:15.

To be complete for all the scriptures concerning only people one must include Leviticus 20:24 and 26.

Leviticus 20:24, 26 “But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I, I am giving it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the nations. And you shall be holy to Me. For I, Yahweh, am holy, and have severed you from the nations, so that you should be Mine.”

The word bloods when in the plural denotes blood from different races. “Bloods toucheth bloods” means intercourse with one of another race. The word toucheth includes the meaning of sexual intercourse. Here scripture calls bloods touching bloods adultery.

Hosea 4:2 “By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and bloods toucheth bloods.”

and

John 1:13 “Which were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

There are three words that need proper definition. In the Hebrew and Greek the word adultery has the meaning of adulteration, to mix, miscegenate. The word translated bastard in the old testament comes from a Hebrew word that means mongrel. The word holy is translated from a word that includes the meaning of physically pure.

The one verse that many will point to is in Acts. Here is what the Greek says.

Acts 17:26 “And hath made of one blood some of all nations of men for to dwell on some of all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation”.

The context is Israel. Israel was a scattered people at the time of this writing with most of them in Europe and only a remnant left in Judea and Galilee. They were becoming the promised “many nations” of scripture. Going after strange flesh is adultery.

Jude 1:7 “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

In the following we are told to be separate. This is a physical separation.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate (set off by boundary), saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

The context of 2 Corinthians 6:17 is people. The word thing is not in the Greek text. It was added by the translators, a violation of Revelation 22. It does not belong.

Hosea actually has quite a bit in chapter 7 concerning Ephraim.

Hosea 7:8 “Ephraim mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.”

So what is a cake not turned? Imagine that you are making pancakes and you forget to flip one. It will be black on one side and white on the other.

Hosea 7:10 “And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face.”

Why? Because his face looks noticeably different. The word strangers includes the concept of adultery.

Hosea 7:9 “Strangers have devoured his strength.”

Notice that in all the scripture never once are others ever offered conversion. Christ never offered conversion to Herod or Pilot. Christ told the Edomite Pharisees that they could not hear His voice nor believe Him. Marriage was forbidden with other groups because of their race or nationality. In Ezra and Nehemiah conversion was never considered, never mentioned. One part that is never mentioned is the sexual practices of some of the forbidden lineages in scripture. They would pollute and introduce defects into the lineage of Israel if allowed.

A good example is Judah. He sinned by taking a Canaanite woman. God would not allow that lineage to be a part of Christ’s heritage. Tamar was the answer provided by God to continue the line of Judah.

Another is that Ruth was an Israelite. She was from the Land of Moab that was, at that time, the home to the two and a half tribes of Israel. They stayed on the East side of Jordan. Even though no Moabites lived there, the land retained the name of Moab just as the land of Canaan.

There are truths concerning race and the blood of different races that were known in scientific literature in the 1950’s, but have been quietly ignored for many years. There is more, but if this information has not convinced one, then the rest won’t either. One must decide to go with scripture or stay politically, socially acceptable.

Philippians 2:15 “That you may be blameless and unmixed, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the middle of a crooked and perverse race, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”

The following are some notes I made to learn more about the Holy Spirit. I have since added to this and may add more.

The gift of the Holy Spirit is more than speaking in a language you did not learn.

Based on the Greek text.

Luke 24:45 “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures”.

John 20:22 “And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you”.

Acts 2:4 “And some of them were filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

Acts 2:8 “And how hear we every man in our own language, wherein we were born?”

Acts 2:11 “And how hear we every man in our own language, wherein we were born?”

1 Corinthians 12:28 “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of languages.

1 Corinthians 12:29 “Are some of all apostles? No. Are some of all prophets? No. Are some of all teachers? No. Are some of all workers of miracles? No.”

In verse 29 the word all is G3361 combined with G3956. G3361 is “A primary particle of qualified negation; (adverbially) not, (conjugationally) lest; also (as interrogitive implying a negative answer.

G3956 pas Some or part of all.

So in verse 29 all is “Some of all, No”.

In verse 30 every instance of all is only from G3956 meaning “Some or part of all”.

1 Corinthians 12:30 “Have some of all the gifts of healing? No. Do some of all speak with languages? No. Do some of all interpret? No.”

1 Corinthians 13:8 “Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be languages, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”

Interesting that here Paul uses a verb to say that prophecies and knowledge will become entirely idle or useless. For tongues the verb is to stop. This happens when the perfect is come. I have heard it said the perfect is the complete written Word of God. James 1:25.

1 Corinthians 14:2 “For he that speaketh in a language speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)

1 Corinthians 14:4 “He that speaketh in a language edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.” (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)

1 Corinthians 14:5 “I would that ye all spake with languges, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with languages, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.”

1 Corinthians 14:13 “Wherefore let him that speaketh in a language pray that he may interpret.” (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)

1 Corinthians 14:14 “For if I pray in a language, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)

1 Corinthians 14:19 “Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in a language. (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)

1 Corinthians 14:27 “If any man speak in a language, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.” (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)

Notes:
In 1 Corinthians 14:24 all three instances of all are from G3956 pas and mean “some or part of all”.

Liddell and Scott 3 “People speaking a distinct language.”

Strong’s G1100 “Of uncertain affinity; the tongue ; by implication a language (specifically one naturally unacquired) speaking a distinct language”.

At the time of the writing of Strong’s the Koine Greek was unknown as with the KJV of the Bible. That is why you see phrases like, “Of uncertain affinity”. The word can mean the physical tongue in the body or even the tongue of a piece of leather. When speaking it is a language.

The Whole Bible is one story about how a people became divided, separated and then reunited under Christ. It is not two separate books about two different groups of people.

Isaiah 7:1 “And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.”

For those of you who are Judeo-Christians, do you understand what was happening in Isaiah 7:1? The nation of the House of Israel, the Ten Northern Tribes, led by King Pekah, was going up to Jerusalem to attempt to conquer the House of Judah, the Two Southern Tribes. There were no Jews in existence. This was ten of the tribes of Israel going to fight two of the tribes of Israel. Another brother fights brother situation. This is evil. God did not allow the House of Israel to prosper in this. As evil as both sides were, the House of Judah was more righteous over time.

The solution for both Houses of Israel came with Christ. The middle wall of partition was broken down.

Ephesian 2:14 “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us”.

and

Hosea 1:11 “Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.”

This has all happened as prophesied in Hosea and shown in Ephesians 2. One can not be reconciled if the two groups were never a single unit under God in the past.

“Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.” Ephesians 2:15-17.

Those who were far off, the House of Israel in exile in Europe and those near, the House of Judah. God moved them all to the new promised land where they were reunited under one head, Christ, as it is this day. God keeps His promises. Praise God!

The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God’s Israel people.

The old testament is completed in the new.

The new testament is incomplete without the old.

We have one God, one bible and one truth.

Here are just three examples of misunderstood verses with quotes from the old testament because of the false notion that one can be a new testament only Christian.

Romans 9:24-25 is from Hosea 1:9 where the phrase “not a people” is a description of the House of Israel, the Ten Northern tribes, who became known in scripture as Nations [Gentiles] after their divorce from God. Scripture later calls those people “Sons of the Living God” or Christians. The bible defines its own terms.

Romans 11:2. The concept of the fulness of nations is from Genesis 48:19 where the descendants of Joseph would become a multitude (fulness) of Nations.

1 Peter 1:16 is from Leviticus 11:44 where the context makes Peter’s meaning of holy to be understood.

The writers of the new testament only knew the old testament. The Holy Spirit was given to the apostles so that they could, among other things, fully understand the Law and Prophets.

Luke 24:44-45 “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,”

When did Christ give the Holy Spirit to the apostles? Christ gave the Holy Spirit to the apostles in John 20:21-22.

“And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you. And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you”.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 was a special event. It is never repeated in the rest of scripture.

Tim

There is much scripture teaches that most Christians have never heard because they do not follow the clues. Meanings are altered because few look for the context of old testament quotes.

You are at church and the speaker reads Ephesians 2:11-14.

“Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition”.

Did the speaker or your preacher ever examine the words Uncircumcision and Circumcision, alienated, covenants of promise, far off and middle wall of partition to explain the meaning of those verses? This would be very rare. If they taught the actual meaning of that verse, then the lie about Jews and Gentiles most know today would begin to fall apart. This is what I mean when I say most Christians have been misled about meanings in the bible. These clues are not hidden.

Paul used those words to tell us who he was referring the reader of the Word to explain his meaning.

At the time of Christ the Uncircumcision was the House of Israel living off in Europe. The House of Judah was the Circumcision as they had the Law. In the King James bible the word aliens is a verb and is properly translated as alienated. Alienated tells us that at one time the two parties were one. This was never the case between Israel and non-Israelites. When the House of Israel was divorced by God they lost the right to be called Israelites, ruling with God. The scripture is always accurate. From that point forward they were always referred to as Nations or “Gentiles”. Notice the promises of God. God does not break promises. For more examples see Romans 2:14-15 and 9:24-25.

History shows us that the Ten Tribes eventually escaped the Assyrian captivity and moved North through the Caucasus Mountains. The path they took is still called the Pass of Israel today. Over the centuries they moved into Europe and so were “far off” from the House of Judah.

One of the prophecied goals of Christ was to reunite the two Houses of Israel. This is the breaking down of the “middle wall of partition”. Hosea 1:11 shows that the two houses would be reunited.

“Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.”

Gathered together in the new land promised to King David. The one head is Christ. Ephesians 2 is the fulfillment of prophecy. It does not teach about some Plan B people brought in because Israel supposedly rejected Christ. Mostly only the Edomite leaders of Christ’s day rejected Christ as proven by Christ’s own words in John 5, 8 and 10. The clues lead us to know that those Paul was writing about were those of the Ten Northern Tribes, the House of Israel. Spiritualizing verses to make them all inclusive destroys the original intent.

There is much scripture teaches that most Christians have never heard because they do not follow the clues. Meanings are altered because few look for the context of old testament quotes.

You are at church and the speaker reads Romans 2:14-15.

“For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another”.

Did the speaker or your preacher ever examine the phrase “the Law written on their hearts” to explain the meaning of those verses? This would be very rare. If they taught the actual meaning of that verse, then the lie about Jews and Gentiles most know today would begin to fall apart. This is what I mean when I say most Christians have been misled about meanings in the bible. This clue is not hidden.

Amos 8:11 “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Yahweh, 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 Yahweh”.

Paul used the phrase to tell us who he was referring the reader of the Word to explain his meaning. This is Hebrews 8:10.

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people”.

The House of Israel, the Northern Ten Tribes, were the “Gentiles” or Nations that Paul was speaking about. For more examples see Romans 9:24-25 and Ephesians 2:11. When the House of Israel was divorced by God they lost the right to be called Israelites, ruling with God. The scripture is always accurate. From that point forward they were always referred to as Nations or “Gentiles”. Notice the promises of God. God does not break promises.

The Law of God was only given to Israel.

Psalms 147:19-20 “He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Yah.”

The promise of the Law being written on the heart of Christians was only made to the House of Israel and the House of Judah. This is the new covenant. As scripture shows these are those who are Christians today.

Romans 2:14-15 does not teach about some Plan B people brought in because Israel supposedly rejected Christ. Mostly only the Edomite leaders of Christ’s day rejected Christ as proven by Christ’s own words in John 5, 8 and 10. The clue leads us to know that those Paul was writing about were those of the Ten Northern Tribes, the House of Israel. Spiritualizing verses to make them all inclusive destroys the original intent.

There is much scripture teaches that most Christians have never heard because they do not follow the clues. Meanings are altered because few look for the context of old testament quotes.

You are at church and the speaker reads Romans 9:24-25.

“Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.”

Did the speaker or your preacher ever take you back to Hosea to explain the meaning of those verses? This would be very rare. If they taught the actual meaning of that verse, then the lie about Jews and Gentiles most know today would begin to fall apart. This is what I mean when I say most Christians have been misled about meanings in the bible. This clue is not hidden.

Amos 8:11 “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Yahweh, 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 Yahweh”.

Paul referred the reader of the Word to Hosea to explain his meaning. The context of Hosea is all important. Hosea explained how the House of Israel would be called, “not my people”, but at one point they would be called “children of the living God” or Christians. Prophecy in Hosea requires that the House of Israel would not disappear in the Assyrian captivity. The House of Israel, the Northern Ten Tribes, were the “Gentiles” or Nations that Paul was speaking about. For more examples see Romans 2:14-15 and Ephesians 2:11. When the House of Israel was divorced by God they lost the right to be called Israelites, ruling with God. The scripture is always accurate. From that point forward they were always referred to as Nations or “Gentiles”. Notice the promises of God. God does not break promises.

Hosea 1:9-10 “Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be yours. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.”

Romans 9:24-25 does not teach about some Plan B people brought in because Israel supposedly rejected Christ. Mostly only the Edomite leaders of Christ’s day rejected Christ as proven by Christ’s own words in John 5, 8 and 10.

Many focus on John 1:11.

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” KJV

Here is a better translation of the Greek.

“He came into His own land, and the men of the country received Him not.” CNT

So today churches teach that the Judeans, the Greek word translated Jew, all rejected Christ. Christ failed in His mission and had to come up with a plan B. Many times it is helpful to read the next verse.

John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”.

Again, a better translation from the Greek.

John 1:12 “But as many who received Him, He gave to them the authority which the children of God are to attain, to those believing in His Name”. CNT

So not all rejected Christ. Looking closely in John and Acts thousands became Christians. Reading through the first several chapters of John, we are told that many believed Christ. The scripture calls “those who heard Him gladly” and those who argued with Christ Judeans, as in country. It is obvious here that there are two different kinds of Judeans. The scripture shows us just that in John 5, 8 and 10.

There are no examples of discourse between Christ and “those who heard Him gladly”. There are several examples of those who sought to kill Christ, the leaders of the Judeans. This group was the Pharisees and Saducees.

The first instance is in John five there is a different type of Judean that Christ talked to. Healing a man during God’s Sabbath is not a sin. Healing a man during the Pharisees sabbath was against their rules. After healing a man on the Sabbath leaders confronted Christ. Christ went into a long discourse that ended with Christ saying

John 5:38-47 “And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”

The next instance is in John 8. Christ was speaking to the Judeans who believed. Then those who confronted Christ felt the need to justify themselves.

John 8:33 “They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?”

Christ finished His thought and then responded to them in verse 37-44.

“I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Those were some pretty strong words for the Judean leaders. Notice that they claimed to be the seed of Abraham. Christ acknowledged that, but said they did not count as children of Abraham. Christ defined the word children in Matthew 15 and here in John 8.

Matthew 15:24-26 “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.”

Scripture also defines “sheep” as Israel in many places. See Jeremiah 50:17 and Matthew 10:6. In John 8, Christ shows that the children are children of Isaac through Jacob. The children of Esau are these leaders who argued with Christ as they were “never in bondage to any man”.
This was their admission that they were not Israelites. Christ called them children of the devil. Because of this they could not understand Christ nor could they hear His word. John 8:43. Esau is Edom, Genesis 36.

Christ had another run in with the leaders in John 10. Here Christ told them they were not His sheep (Israel).

John 10:25-30 “Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.”

So the Judean leaders, Pharisees, were Edomites. Where are they today?

“Edom is in modern Jewry”, The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41.

God had plenty to say about Esau’s descendants. They can not be saved. They will have perpetual war with God and God’s people.

The term Gentile is a Latin word that just means Nation. It does not mean “non-Jew”. If one lets the context determine the who of the Nations, then the Gospel’s and the book of Acts is the story of Israel becoming Christians. Israel, God’s sheep, did not reject Christ.

John 10:14 “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.”

John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”.

After King Solomon died, Israel split into two separate countries with their own Kings. This was the beginning of God’s promise to make of Israel, many nations. So there were then two nations. The one who stayed home was the House of Judah. The other rebelled and was moved by God into captivity. This was the House of Israel.

2 Kings 17:6 “In the ninth year of Hoshea 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.”

The House of Israel later escaped that captivity as archaeological records show. Their goal was to return to God, but it was to be in God’s new promised land.

2 Samuel 7:10 “Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime”.

In Hosea, The House of Israel was prophesied to be “children of the living God” or Christians as has happened.

“Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass… there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.” Hosea 1:10

When Paul and others came and began preaching repentance and the Kingdom of God to the Nations of Israel, there was jealousy on the part of the House of Judah.

So now in Luke 15:11-32 Christ tells a story about a man’s two sons. Read the parable and see how it compares to the history you just read. The parable tells us a bit about the condition of Israel in captivity. God allowed them to escape, but God prevented them from returning to their former land.

Hosea 2:6 “Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.”

So as God intended and archaeology shows, The House of Israel went through what is now called the Pass of Israel and were found in the area North of the Caucasus Mountains at the same time that history records the Caucasian peoples being there. Then they moved into Europe and eventually America where they were joined by the House of Judah and renewed their relationship with God.

Hosea 1:11 “Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.”

Saw a post today that said, “We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasures.”, Ryle. This is very true. Here is some simple digging. The word adoption as we know it is not found in the new testament. The English word adoption is translated from a Greek word that means, “the placing of a son”. That is a coming of age ceremony for a man who was born into an Israelite family and has reached the age set by his father. You can spiritualize these verses and destroy God’s intended meaning or do some digging and figure out what God wanted you to understand. The easy way is not always the correct way.

Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of the placing of a son, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”

Romans 8:23 “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the placing of a son, to wit, the redemption of our body.”

Romans 9:4 “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the placing of a son, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises”.

Galatians 4:5 “To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the the placing of a son.”

Ephesians 1:5 “Having predestinated us unto the placing of a son by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will”.

Remember Paul is writing to the Nations of Israel who were dispersed after the Assyrian captivity. According to the Law of the Kinsman Redeemer, only a true physical kin can redeem a relative. This is why the bible spends so many words showing the kinship of Christ to true descendants of Jacob/Israel. Also the phrase “under the Law” is reserved for those who are descendants of Jacob/Israel. Only those who were foreknown, that is true descendants of Jacob/Israel, by God could be predestined, Romans 8:29-30. Also the word called is defined by scripture as descendants of Jacob/Israel only, Isaiah 48:12. Remember, the modern day Jews have never been God’s Israel people.

If you really want to know what God through scripture is saying to you, then you have to do some work. Don’t depend on the guy who was taught just enough to keep his job as a preacher at your church. He might know more after thirty years, but he is still not going to say anything that will jeopardize his job.
