WOULD THE REAL ISRAELITES PLEASE STAND UP

WOULD THE REAL ISRAELITES PLEASE STAND UP

If today's Jews are non-Israelites as even they themselves are forced to admit, then WHO EXACTLY ARE today's genetic Israelites because their lineage MUST be out there somewhere? If they have gone out of existence as most evangelicals teach, then God is not true to His Word because He promised that they would never cease to be a nation before him: “Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.  Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.”  (Jeremiah 31:35-37)

Although most contemporary Israelites are oblivious to their own identity, The Most High however, has not forgotten who they are: …O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen … thou art my servant: I have formed thee…. O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. (Isaiah 44:1-21)

It is impossible for God to forget Israel as He could never fulfil His Word as found, for example, in Jeremiah 31: “Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the [Mosaic] covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 31:31-32)

Indeed the identity and whereabouts of the “lost 10 tribes of Israel” is one of the great mysteries of ancient world history. WHERE those Israelites went and WHO their descendants are today, is deliberately shrouded in mystery and has recently stimulated great interest and periodic debate. The hope of tracing their movements and finding their present whereabouts has inspired many a curious searcher.

God Himself said in His Word that ISRAEL was to:

v           become a great and mighty nation. (Genesis 12:1-3)

v           become a vast multitude of people. (Genesis 22:17)

v           form a multitude of nations. (Genesis 17:4-6)

v           rule over other nations. (Deuteronomy 15:6)

v           be a blessing to all nations. (Genesis 22:18)

v           have a new home, other than Canaan Land. (2 Samuel 7:10)

v           be inhabited by people gathered from many nations. (Ezekiel 38:8)

v           have a land of great agricultural wealth. (Deuteronomy 28:8-11)

v           be described as being the "camp of the saints." (Revelations 20:7-9)

v           have a new religion and be saved by God. (Jeremiah 31:7,31-37)

v           carry the gospel to all the world. (Isaiah 49:3-6)

v           to be the only nation given God's Law. (Psalm 147:19-20)

v           be blind for the most part to her identity. (Isaiah 42:16-19)

v           be called by a new name. (Isaiah 62:1-2)

Of course HIS Word is always faithfully fulfilled, and thus, just as He promised, it has been Israelites and NOT JEWS that have fulfilled Bible prophecy.

Take a globe and draw circles around the landmasses wherein Christianity (in whatever form) has flourished and you will find that you will encompass those nations primarily comprised of Celtic, Germanic, Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon and kindred peoples. Either these peoples comprise Israel - or God has not been true to Himself and He has established His New Covenant with someone other than those to whom He promised. God was and still is true to His word, and it has been the Celto-Saxon peoples who, in accordance with Jeremiah's prophecy, that have most readily embraced the New Covenant religion of Christianity. They above all peoples, have been most responsive to the call of salvation over the last two thousand years.

Think about it, . . . the other nations of the world would be oblivious to Christianity had it not been for the Celto-Saxons' historical proliferation of the New Covenant message. This mark alone unequivocally identifies today's Israelites as to who they are. However, not only do the Celto-Saxon peoples fulfil the marks of Israel as described in Jeremiah 31, (when studied carefully) they likewise fulfil all of the Biblical marks of Israel. Moreover, archaeology and a mountain of largely suppressed historical evidence clearly verify this genetic link between the Biblical Israelites and the modern Celto-Saxon peoples.

IDENTIFYING MARKS OF ISRAEL

The tribes that poured into the British Isles between the years 450 A.D. and 1066A.D., the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Scots, Picts, Danes and Normans, came bearing the various tribal emblems of ancient Israel with many names clearly establishing their identity as the descendants of the Ten Tribes. The Normans came with the Wolf Emblem of the Tribe of Benjamin, the Angles with the Unicorn Emblem of the tribe of Ephraim, etc. The Danes derived their name from the tribe of Dan, and the Saxons from the ancient Persian name for Israel - SAXAE. The Anglo-Saxon group of Nations bear many historical and prophetic marks of the ancient Israel nation who were taken as captives to Assyria.  The Anglo-Saxon people have fulfilled God's promises of Genesis 28 in colonising the four corners of the earth.   Israel has indeed become “a nation and a company of nations,” Genesis 5:11 - the U.S.A. (a nation), and the British Commonwealth (a company of nations).

The British Coat of Arms for example, displays the national emblems of ancient Israel. Note especially the lion and the unicorn supporting the shield, both prominent identifications of the Israel nation. These are amazing pointers to the identity of Great Britain, and related Anglo-Saxon nations of the world, with the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. Speaking of Israel, the Bible says, "... he hath as it were the strength of a UNICORN... he couched, he lay down as a LION, and as a GREAT LION who shall stir him Up?" (Numbers 24:8-9).

The mottos on the Coat of Arms are also interesting. Under the shield is a motto, "Dieu et mon droit," meaning "GOD AND MY RIGHT." In the beginnings of the Bible story we read how Israel, whose former name was Jacob, obtained the God-given birthright of an everlasting national covenant. The other motto around the shield, "Honi soit qui mal ypense," means "EVIL TO HIM WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF IT." This again was God's covenant promise to Israel, when He declared, "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee" (Genesis 12). The shield is symbolic of God's assurance to King David, that his house and kingdom would be established forever in II Samuel 7. The two quadrants (first and third) containing the lions passants represent England, whilst the second quadrant, containing the lion rampant, represents Scotland.  The Harp, displayed in the fourth quadrant of the shield, is associated with David (as recorded in I Samuel 16:23) and represents Ireland. The Crowns surmounting the helmet and on the lion and unicorn symbolise Kingship. Abraham and Sarah were promised that their descendants would be kings Genesis 17:5-6.  This was to be Israel's high calling - to be a nation of kings ruling as God's instruments of blessing.  The British Coat of Arms stands today as a reminder of God's great and unfailing promises to His people – ISRAEL!

OK! Lets assume for a moment that NO conclusive contemporary historical evidence exists that the House of Windsor can be equated with the ancient House of Judah. But charts however making that connection do exist and yes, long-held traditions to that effect linger on, where no other nation on earth has them and no such claims are registered by any other people. Why then are the British Isles alone singled out as THE place where, according to traditions, descendants of the 10 tribes have found a new home, ruled over by a royal descendant of the Davidic line, one whose coat of arms is depicted by a lion, symbol of the ancient tribe of Judah? The early Britons wrote no records that have survived, nor did the early Anglo-Saxons see the need to highlight their origins. However, unignorable tradition maintains that during past periods of economic and political upheavals, Israelites began to leave the Middle East and made their way to the British Isles, centuries before the time of Christ. The prophet Isaiah tells us that the Messiah’s ultimate inheritance will be the throne of King David of Israel (Isaiah 9:5-6). Surely, the validity of this prophecy alone shows us that the throne of David MUST exist somewhere. Why not in Shakespeare’s “Sceptred Isle,” whose very identifying name of “Brit,” is strong EVIDENCE of its Hebrew origin.

Regardless, the Bible has a promise regarding the physical heirs of Abraham’s Birthright as the end of the age rapidly approaches. Modern Israel must be made aware of its heritage and its destiny. As Malachi predicts: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” (Malachi 4:5-6) The impact upon the Anglo-Saxons will be earth shattering when God finally reveals their true Israelite roots - the clear truth of which the Pharisaic Jews of today have taken great pains to distort, suppress and misdirect unto themselves.

It is ironic that today's Jews use every foul means conceivable to deceive the rest of the world into believing that they are Israelites, while admitting in their own almanacs, older encyclopaedias and historical writings that they are NOT Israel. It is also ironic that these religious phoneys, want the world to believe that they are something that they clearly are NOT - whereas paradoxically, the great majority of genuine Israelites do not care a whit as to who they are, nor do they see the immense importance of it.

Modern Israel today is largely in unbelief, and it is because of this unbelief and the ignorance of their identity, that the Anglo Saxon/Celtic peoples of the White western world, are finally being brought to their knees by their ancient and historic enemies, the Babylonian/Canaanite/Edomite Jews of today, under the prophetic auspices of their faithful God.

The two world wars pitted the true Israelite Germanic peoples of the House of Judah and the House of Israel against one other - with Esau-Edom, or International World Jewry, as the perpetrator and victor.
