It warms my heart that most on this board don't buy into the evangelical BS of believing that the modern State of Israel isn't the 'chosen ones'.
I guess many have read their Bibles. In the Bible Jesus ended the sacrificial system, and opened up salvation to everyone meaning us gentiles out here whether white, black, oriental, Indian, or what ever.
Good to see people are actually awake to what Jesus' mission was and what he stood for and taught.
Amen.
Has anyone made the connection that maybe the Israelites in the bible represent all of humanity?
Always confused me how many religious people say the 'Jews' are the Chosen, but the Chosen were the 12 Tribes of Israel from Jacobs bloodline, not specifically the Jews. In fact todays Jews seem to be a mix of Edomites from Esaus line who were prevalent in Judea at the time of Christ (Herod was one as were Pharisees and Levites - in fact Jesus said his message wasn't for them), and Khazarians (current area of Crimea & Ukraine) who have no genetic link to the land of Israel as they were converts.
In fact Arthur Koestler, himself a Khazarian Jew, wrote a book called The Thirteenth Tribe where he called the whole 'Jews are the Chosen' and Israel is theirs 'the crueliet lie'. Needless to say he and his wife were found 'suicided' shortly after publication.
They basically reinvented Hebrew language which was a dead language for over 800 years at the time of Jesus (Christ spoke Aramaic) and there was no mention of the Star Of David in the Bible.
Not only did Jesus warn about those who say they are Jews and are not, but of the Synagogue of Satan, but it was also hinted at in the New Testament
ACTS 7:43
"Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your God Remphan, figures which you made up to worship them..."
Todays 'Jews' are not The Chosen Ones and they've basically hijacked Judaism, turned it into Talmudism. Of course many ordinary Jews have no idea who is mingling among them and using them for their Agenda.
Many in America use the Scofield Bible, which was deliberately altered in the early 20th century to make Israel the Promised Land of the 'Jews', and must be supported by Christians so all the Evangelicals and similar will demand Israel and Jews are supported above all because of that 'cruellest lie'
Yes I have. When the "Jews" went into captivity there was a lot of intermarrying/mixing between them and the "pagan" peoples in the lands they were led away to. Even going back as far as Moses we read that he married an Ethiopian woman. That was quite the scandal at the time. Then if you look in the bloodline of Jesus you will see Rahab (a Canaanite prostitute). Then you have Ruth who was a Moabite.
Yes this is true so it can't be. But maybe we all have a origin story similiar where our peoples are the Israelites and gods chosen people.
