I've never said DNA exclusively determines what nation God proposed to provide for Abraham. The promise was to select his biological heirs and form them into a country in the land of Canaan. Those people, the Jews, are established from history. There is no need to do DNA tests, since these people have a long history originating from this country and holding to the culture they developed.
Wrong. The Promise was for the faithful peoples to be gathered and to live in all of the holy Land, as God always wanted His people be; His witnesses and the Light to the nations.
Asa for the history of the Jews:
The Jews are of many racial origins:
1. THE ASHKENAZIM JEWS
Some claim a link between Edom and the Khazars, but apart from that there is more than one
identity calling themselves “Jews”; none of these have claim to the name ‘Israel’.. Regarding
the Ashkenazim Jews who speak Yiddish, most dictionaries and encyclopaedia define
Ashkenazim in words like
after ‘Ashkenaz’,
the second son of Gomer. This confirms
Scripture concerning the sons of Noah, [Shem, Japheth and Ham], and their offspring:
2. THE KHAZAR JEWS
The Khazars claimed descent from Japheth, and from their adoption of Judaism, they became
known as Jews. But they did not descend from Shem, and therefore they are not Semitic in
origin. To relate the term “anti-Semitism” to Jews of this origin is nonsense and part of the
great deception! Eastern European Jews of this origin have no Israelite connection. Anti-
Semitism could not apply to them! These are the majority in the Israeli state.
3. THE SEPHARDIM JEWS
The American People’s Encyclopaedia, 1925, indicates that these people descended from
Edomites who were cast out of Palestine by Prince Titus in AD 70. From thence they spread
to North Africa and to Spain converting Berber Tribes and others to Judaism. There were
Cardinals and Popes who were Sephardim Jews. They have no simple blood line, being
Edomites diluted with Syrian, Canaanite, Phoenician and North African blood.
4. THE SEPHARDIM / ASHKENAZIM JEWISH MIXTURE
It is impossible to determine the degree of intermarriage between these two groups of non-
Israelites, but there is evidence that this has been common.
5. THE ETHIOPIAN DESCENDANTS OF HAM [The Falashas]
These are known as “Jews” because of acceptance of Judaism. The Encyclopaedia Judaica
states:
The joke here is that Ham, as a son of Noah, was not a black man. It is amazing that these
people, who are supposed to be the educated and erudite, could make such a stupid statement.
6. BABYLONIAN and PROSELYTE JEWS
In the days of Mordecai and Esther - many who obviously were not of Judah took up Judaism
These are people from almost every race on earth. They became known as Jews because of religious spirit and belief in Judaism.
8. THE SHEMITE DESCENDANTS OF ESAU
These people also known as Edomites and some other names in Scripture. Historically, and
Biblically, most of these were made proselytes to Judaism and became known as “Jews”.
Anyone who wants to identify the Jews as “Israel” is not speaking about the true Israel of
God, as defined in the Bible. If we have another Israel, we have another gospel. But the
same people will insist that Jews of much racial mixture are a single race when they are not.
They want it both ways.
The term
Ioudaios [Judean] is wrongly accepted as the “racial” term
Ioudas [Jew] when
reading the New Testament and is the root of the misunderstanding. The use of the territorial
term, Judean, is not a measure of race, although some Israelites were amongst the proselytes
to Judaism in Judea.
The word, “Jews”, cannot always be taken in the way that is commonly accepted. Modern
international Jewry is primarily of Edomic or Japheth/Ashkenazim or Sephardim origin, and
the Jewish Encyclopaedia states that
Edom is modern Jewry. Edomites are not Israelites; it
was Esau who sold his birthright. The descendants of Japheth cannot be ethnic Israelites. Neither
are “Jews” of other races Israelites by race.
Modern Jewry relates to Edom, Zionism, World Government and the Israeli state, but not to
Biblical Israel. At the end of the age it will be the Edomite-Jewish association with their
Babylonic enmity that will be burned by fire. Obadiah 1:16-18; Rev 18:6-8
But there is a final twist declared in Encyclopedia Judaica 1971, 10, column 23:
“JEWS BEGAN IN THE 19TH CENTURY TO CALL THEMSELVES HEBREWS AND ISRAELITES IN 1860.
This coincides with the cry, “anti-Semitism”.. If Zionists began so late in history to pretend
that they were Israelites or Hebrews, this confirms the hoax that claims “The Jews” are the
Israel of God. Ref: A.E.Kennedy
