Here is a "shocking" opening statement of fact! Israel is NOT Israel.
Why would I say that, seeing that I am of Israelite descent myself?? Have you any idea why? Let me explain the facts! Israel as a land ceased to exist in 720 BC when the 10 Northern tribes were exiled by God to Asshur(Assyria). They ceased to also be a unified nation after king Solomon died! They never returned throughout all recorded history and in fact they spread throughout the known world populating it over the following 2700 years! A remnant remained in the land in 720 BC which was the tribe of Judah along with Benjamin and a small collection of people from the other 10 tribes which chose to remain with Judah and serve God in the land! These were ejected from the land by the Romans in 70AD and exiled to Iberia. However the land was no longer known as Israel anyway! It was from that point in 720 BC onward known as Judah or in the Latin version Judaea. During the time of the Roman empire the Romans named it Palestina to rile the Jews about a bygone and long since eradicated enemy called the Philistines(which came from Crete by the way). The modern day "Palestinians" are in actual fact a
collection of Syrians, Egyptians and Jordanians. There is however a small remnant of Samaritans among them yet most of these are christian "Palestinians". The people name is a modern day invention of Yasser Arafat a natural born Egyptian himself! Anyway not digressing any further, the land was not known as Israel and it was not until 1948 the Jews decided to misappropriate the name instead of again choosing Judaea! The excuse for this is a verse in the Bible which reads in Hebrew (Amo 9:14 ושׁבתי את־שׁבות עמי ישׂראל ובנו ערים נשׁמות וישׁבו ונטעו כרמים ושׁתו את־יינם ועשׂו גנות ואכלו את־פריהם׃ ) which means this, 'And I sat down the tribes of my people Israel and they will build cities for the people and they sat down and planted vineyards and drank their wine and they made gardens and ate their fruit.' (This prophecy will be fulfilled at Yeshua's return!) However the version the KJV and many other translations will feed you is one of design! And this is what it reads, "Amo 9:14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. "
You will note the subtle differences in the text, bringing again the
captivity instead of what the real ancient Hebrew says which is God saying He will sit down with the tribes of His people Israel! The narrative is born there to reclaim "the land". When God refers to the land which God has promised to Israel however the word is not to be translated as "the land" but as "the earth". The earth is the Lord's and so it shall be His heirs inherit that which is His by promise! Just in case you have trouble with the facts here are the scriptures to confirm it, (Exo 9:29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD'S. Deu 10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Psa 24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 1Co 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.)
Having then established that fact then also the choice He made clear in the Bible is that He chose Jerusalem as a place for His Name or where His Name shall be called upon(Jer 25:29, 1Ki 11:36), His footstool is earth! (Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.)
The land is not the land, it is the earth with Jerusalem as its capital just as God has foretold yet not as envisaged by many who have been deceived by the plans of the son of destruction's(perdition) agents, the false Jews, the pharisees of old, the rabbis of the modern day! God has His plan laid out clearly in His Word here, (Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.)
The Israel we see today is not of God, yes He is returning His people the Jews to the land but it is for judgement! (Amo 9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.
Amo 9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel
among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. Amo 9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. ) As you can see Israel is among the nations, Israel IS the nations yet not all Israel is Israel!(Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: ) Only those who obey God's commandments are a part of the true Israel and those who pretend to be now will be cut off! Many who are in the land "Israel" will be cut off as they belong to the circumcision(the
idolatrous talmudic Jews, the spiritual decendants of the pharisees). They currently rule the world under their false god appollo/ apollyon, the destroyer, abaddon, satan! Yeshua called them out by their nature, (John 8:44 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.) These evil men currently strive to stop the spread of the Truth which is Yeshua in the land of "Israel". The reason I put the name in brackets is because Yeshua does not call the land "Israel", He calls it Judaea even when referring to the last days in which we now live!
See here, (Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: ) When Yeshua speaks of Israel He always speaks of His very own people not a land! And sadly the fact is most of the population of "Israel" today is a false Jew as DNA has proven even most have bred themselves out of the physical vine that is Israel because they follow the lies of satan saying the Jewishness comes through the mother when God's Word clearly teaches the opposite to be true always showing inheritance to be from father to son. Shortly before the Day of the Lord He will gather the tribes(nations, gentiles) to Jerusalem and He will destroy His and Israel's enemies which is the enemies which I just mentioned above! Only those who turn to God in repentance of their sins shall be allowed in the city, those born again of the Spirit! ( ואספתי את־כל־הגוים אל־ירושׁלם למלחמה ונלכדה העיר ונשׁסו הבתים והנשׁים תשׁגלנה ויצא חצי העיר בגולה ויתר העם לא יכרת מן־העיר)Which means "And I gathered all the nations into Jerusalem for war, and the city was captured, And the houses and the people were consecrated, and half of the city shall be exiled, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city." (the KJV by the way perverts this verse as well as many others, Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. ) KJV adherents, the freemasons will no doubt look to 'ravish women' and rifle houses as they put it! They shall be among those who will be cut off. As Israel covers the earth and our King of kings, our Saviour, our Mighty God is coming back to rule on earth for the last 1000 years He will establish His throne in Jerusalem fulfilling His promises in His Word!
(1Ch 22:10 He shall build an house for My Name; and He shall be My Son, and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of His Kingdom over Israel for ever.)
