Hello,"According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics" .... well, if they are called Israel then they must be trusted, right? Since when is "Israel", "Judah" and "Jew" synonymous words?If you accept the Jewish faith (Judaism) then you become a Jew. Does that mean you are part of Israel, YHVH´s People?. If you accept Judaism means you donnot accept Christ as the Messiah right?According to many, if you are a Judean, then you are a Jew. That makes you part of Israel YHVH´s people? No.By the way, has anyone read the Balfour Declaration of 1917? Do you know what Zionism is? Do you know what Khazars are? Well I guess not. So lets go back to Scrypture.Esther 817And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.They became Jews for the fear of the Jews. They became Jews .... Modern Jewry includes a further mixing with Mongol-Turkish people (Khazar kingdom of Rusia) who adopted Judaism during the 8th and 9th centuries A.D. Are they also part of Israel?But wait, in the Scripture we can read:John 831Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 3 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? So those Jews must not be part of Israel because they did not know Israel was in bondage in Egypt according to Deuteronomy 56I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."Josephus records that the portion of the nation of Judah carried into Babylonian captivity by King Nabuchadnezzar was a millon and a half people. Seventy years later, when Judah was allowed to return to their homeland, although still in subjection to Persian rule, approximately forty-two thousand (Neh. 7:66) went back into Jerusalem, rebuilt the temple and set up the nation, later to be called the nation of the Jews. While in Babylon, many of the forty-two thousand intermarried with Babylonians, adopted the Babyloniain financial, political and ecclesiastical systems.Josephus further report that many non-Israelites joined themselves to the returning Judahites. Later, Christ identified these people, also called Jews, as not of Galilee (John 7:1-13) not of Abraham or of God, (John 8:39-47) and not of His sheep, (John 10:26-30). It was this mixed remnant of Judah, upon returning from the Babylon captivity in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, that became known as the nation of the Jews; a name not applied to Judah prior to the Babylonian captivity. Included in this nation were the Edomites, who had ocuppied Jerusalem during the captivity period. King Herod the Great was an example of this, as he was of Indumean (Edomite) origen and thus not an Israelite. King Herod filled the ranks of the Sadducees with his own kind. This explains why the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection and said there was neither angel, nor spirit, (Acts 23:8).By the time of Christ, continued mixing with Amorites, Philistines, Canaanites, Babylonians and Hittites resulted in a racially mixed nation. From the Hittite infusion came the so-called "Jewish nose"..."(Quotes from the book: "Abrahamic Covenant")Now lets read what the Scripture says:Ezra 91Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. 2For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.Does that make us all Jews?. No. Does it make us all from Israel? No.All the sons of Jacob were Israelites and also Hebrews; they headed the twelve tribes of Israel, and their descendants are Israelites. Only a snail "residue" of the Kingdom of Judah was called "Jews," after the Babylonian captivity, about 1200 years after the birth of Judah, the patriarch of the tribe of Judah (Jeremiah 24:8 and Jeremiah 52:28-30). 47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!A "TRUE" Israelite. 1I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. And also, the word "Jew" sometimes was mistranslated in Scripture from the word "Ioudais" and "Ioudaism". So please pay attention to the WORD:28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.The word Jew means of the Jewish nation and not of Israel.20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; And also, the word "Jew" sometimes was mistranslated in Scripture from the word "Ioudais" and "Ioudaism". Revelation 29I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.Revelation 39Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.jews = Ἰουδαῖος, Jewish, belonging to the Jewish nation, Jewish as respects to birth, origin, religionIoudaios ee-oo-dah'-yos from 2448 (in the sense of 2455 as a country); Judaean, i.e. belonging to Jehudah:--Jew(-ess), of JudaeaSo the conclusion is:1 Timothy 13As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. Titus 39But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.Galatians 326For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
