Isaiah Was Writing To Whom

In this day of the Internet some people get easily confused with forwarded mail, and when they read other people�s mail they FORGET just whose mail they are reading. Therefore, in considering Isaiah 56, we need to ask ourselves WHO IS ISAIAH ADDRESSING ORR TO WHOM DID HE PROPHECY OR WRITE?

Isaiah did NOT prophesy to ALL OF ISRAEL (this is not to say that whatever he recorded has no application, in principle, to all of Israel: but in the fulfillment of prophecy, IT TOUCHES JUDAH). Israel was divorced, Judah was NOT: both were scattered throughout the world because of their sin.

For God has said that He will gather them both and unite them together once again, unto Himself.

�And I WILL GATHER THE REMNANT OF MY FLOCK OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES WHITHER I HAVE DRIVEN THEM, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.� (Jeremiah 23:3)

Again:

�And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I WILL GATHER YOU FROM ALL THE NATIONS, AND FROM ALL THE PLACES WHITHER I HAVE DRIVEN YOU, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.� (Jeremiah 29:14)

Again:

�Behold, I WILL GATHER THEM OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES, WHITHER I HAVE DRIVEN THEM IN MINE ANGER, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.� (Jeremiah 32:37)

And yet again:

�In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted.� (Micah 4:6)

Yahweh will gather the House of Israel together with the House of Judah:

�And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.� (Isaiah 11:12)

Thus, Isaiah says that Yahweh will continue to gather of Israel, MORE ISRAELITES THAN HE HAD ALREADY AT THAT TIME GATHERED, UNTIL ALL ISRAEL IS GATHERED BACK INTO THE FOLD WITH HIM.

Yahweh is still seeking out the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, and is, in effect, leaving the 99 in safety, in order to find the one that is missing. He will NOT bring back piglets, puppies, nigglets, chinalets or any other race or people.

Albert Barnes� in his �Notes on the Old and New Testament (1942) states of the first verse of Isaiah 56 that �keep ye judgment and do justice� is a call to �break off your sins and be holy,� and indicates that John the Baptist made a similar proclamation (incidentally, to the SAME people) for a similar purpose. Barnes states that the phrase, �for my salvation is near to come,�

�...is to be borne in mind that this was regarded as addressed to the Jews (Israelites) in exile in Babylon, and there is probably a primary reference in the words to the deliverance which they were about to experience from their long and painful captivity.�

John the Baptist heralded a DIFFERENT deliverance which was then soon to come, when he pronounced, �REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.� Though possibly preaching a different deliverance, the prophets John the Baptist and Isaiah are intimately connected in their mission.

�In those days came JOHN THE BAPTIST, preaching in the wilderness of Judea. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is He (Christ) that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias (Isaiah), saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.� (Matthew 3:1-3; Isaiah 40:3-4)

Deliverance will NEVER come without REPENTANCE and OBEDIENCE. God will NOT begin to gather His people or deliver them as long as they remain in sin. Thus, Isaiah, in the very first verse of Isaiah 56 urges the Israelites of the HOUSE OF JUDAH to repent of their sons and do what is right, so they might soon be delivered.

�You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.� (Amos 3:2)

By this we can clearly see that God has revealed that He chose ONLY one people for Himself, upon whom He would set His love, whom He would NEVER utterly forsake: to whose fathers and seed He Covenanted this unconditional and exclusive, everlasting promise of monogamy, devotion, blessing, and faithfulness: Israel. (And even THE ENEMIES of Israel will one day be forced to their knees to profess this truth). (Revelation 3:9)

Both the Old and New Testaments show us that the New Covenant was made SOLELY with THE SAME PEOPLE with whom Yahweh had mad the Old Cotenant: and NONE other! ISRAEL. (See Jeremiah 31:31; Hebrews 8:8)

Christ came to save and Redeem Israel, and Israel ALONE.

�For Yahweh HATH REDEEMED JACOB, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.� (Jeremiah 31:11)

�...but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahshua should die for that nation (Israel in the land of Palestine): And not for that nation (Israel in the land of Palestine) only, but that He should GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE THE CHILDREN OF GOD (Israelites) THAT WERE SCATTERED ABROAD.� (John 11:51-52)

Here is a Jewish high priest testifying that they are not Israelites; yet the vast majority of Christendom refuses to see it.

There are hundreds of verses in the Old Testament which prove the promised Messiah was to come to HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL; however, two simple verses from the New Testament should suffice:

�And she (Mary) shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His Nam Yahshua: for He shall save His people from THEIR sins...But He (Christ) answered and said, I am not sent but unto THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.� (Matthew 1:21; 15:24)

The name Yahshua means �Yahweh saves.� Yahweh s the Covenant Name God gave His people Israel, by which they would call on Him. Thus, even in Christ Yahshua�s Name, there is proof that He came only for His own.

In this following passage again also not perfectly clear?:

�...my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the ADOPTION, and the GLORY, and the COVENANTS, and the GIVING OF THE LAW, and the SERVICE of god, and the PROMISES; Whose are the fathers, and of WHOM as concerning the flesh CHRIST CAME...� (Romans 9:3-5)

Here is a New Testament verse boldly proclaims that Christ Yahshua came ONLY for Israel; and what else could any New Testament verse do but agree with the words of Christ Himself anyway? This passage also reveals that Israel ALONE constitute the servants of God; and that the glory, Promises, Covenants, Law and adoption extend ONLY TO ISRAEL.

Romans 9 continues with verse 6 (and following) to warn that not all who may have descended (in part) from Israel, are in fact Israel. As we have seen, there are tares, thorns, briers, brambles, and thistles which the evil one has scattered in among God�s good seed (Israel).

God ONLY gave His Law to Israel. (Psalm 147:19-20; Isaiah 51:7; Romans 9:4)

This is undeniable.

Although God created the whole earth, and is truly Lord of all by nature and design, He is ONLY the PERSONAL GOD OF ISRAEL, with whom ALONE He Covenanted in this special, everlasting relationship: that�s why He is called �the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.� (Exodus 3:15)

This adoption is NOT the �adoption� of non-Israelites into the family of Israel; rather, it refers to the time when God made the nation of Israel His people: His firstborn.

It is also making reference to Ephraim and Manasseh being adopted into the Israel family by Jacob/Israel. This came about when Rachel, Jacob�s beloved wife, was journeying with Jacob to Ephrath from Bethel, she began to travail in hard labor.

The midwife said she shall bear thee a son also. But alas, Rachel died at child birth, she lived long enough to call his name Benoni, (Genesis 35:18) but his father called him Benjamin (son of sorrow) Also, please remember that Benjamin was the only one of Jacob�s sons that was born a True Israelite. For he was born after Jacob�s name and Nature was changed to Israel. (Genesis 32:28) ���������

Since Benjamin was born a True Israelite, it was to him and the offspring of Ephraim and Manasseh who were to be adopted later by Jacob/Israel as Israelites. (Genesis 48:15-22) It was to these to whom the promises were made. Listen to Paul in Romans 8 and 9, �For whom he did foreknow.� (Romans 8:29) (He foreknew Benjamin in the genes of Abraham)

�And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.� (Romans 8:28-30)

Then Paul goes on to talk about Ephraim and Manasseh being adopted:

�Who are Israelites of whom pertaineth the adoption, (Ephraim and Manasseh) and the Glory, and the Covenants, and the Giving of the Law, and the Service of God, and the Promises.� (Romans 9:4)

In other words Ephraim and Manasseh were also included with those other Israelites and were alto to receive the Glory, and to be Servants to God, and received the Promises promised by God to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel.

To further clarify the matter Paul goes on to say;

�For they are not all Israel (the other 11 sons of Jacob were not originally Israelites, they were Jacobites, but after his name was changed then they became Israelites) who are of Israel (Jacob).� (Romans 9:6)

Therefore, we know that Benjamin was to be a special choice seed unto Yahweh and why he was chosen to be the light bearer, because he was born a True Israelite.

�And unto his son (Solomon) will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.� (1 Kings 11:36)

The other eleven sons of Jacob were called the House or Children of Israel because their father�s name was Israel but they were not born Israelites, they were born Jacobites. When the Kingdom of Israel was divided into two separate Houses after the reign of Solomon; Yahweh promised David that he, David, would always have a Light before his steps so he chose to give to David the Tribe of Benjamin, the only True Israelite son of Jacob/Israel. The House of David continued to rule over the Judah Kingdom comprising Judah, the � tribe of Levi and the Tribe of Benjamin. (1 Kings 1:36; 12:21-23)

On this both Barnes (citing Deuteronomy 7:6) and Adam Clarke (citing Exodus 4:22; Deuteronomy 14:1; Jeremiah 31:9; Hosea 11:1) agree. Adam was formed and called �the son of God.�

God chose Israel alone, of all the peoples of the earth.

�You only have I known of all the families of the earth...� (Amos 3:2)

God reestablished His special relationship with Israel at Mt. Sinai. Again, after the dispersion, Israel (though living far from the land of Israel, being called by other names: Saxon and etc.) Though temporarily cast off and NOT CALLED GOD�S PEOPLE FOR A TIME; though living in a land where they had never been known as God�s people, they were once again brought back into proper Covenant relationship by Yahweh. This �adoption� also refers PHYSICALLY to Israel ALONE, even as the �glory� of God (the Shekinah glory) was placed upon Israel ALONE.

This Greek word CAN mean �adopt;� but our understanding of that concept is as weak as our understanding of the Greek. The Greek word #5206 (hwee-oth-es-EE-ah; from the presumed comp. Of #5207 and a der. Of #5987) is commonly understood as �the placing as a son.� One of the keys to understanding this is found in the Greek root #5087 (TITH-ay-mee) which means �to place;� but carries the meaning to appoint, commit, ordain, purpose.�

The same word #5087 (TITH-16 -mee) is used in Romans 4:17, �I have MADE the a father of many nations...� (1 Corinthians 3:10), �as the wise master builder I have LAID the foundation;� and 12:18, 28 in which God Himself, �SET� each individual in their respective roles in the body; (1 Timothy 2:7), �I am ORDAINED an apostle...�; (2 Timothy 2:2), �the same COMMIT thou to faithful men.�

Kenneth S. Wuest, likewise concurs in his �Word Studies From the Greek New Testament� (1955):

�He (Paul) calls them Israelites. The term �Hebrew� speaks of a member of the Chosen People as a Hebrew speaking rather than a Greek speaking Jew (sic., Judaite), the latter called a Grecian in Acts 6:1, or one could use the designation, �a Hellenist,� or a �Hellenistic Jew.� (Judahite) (which signified), one who read his Old Testament in the Septuagint (Greek) version... The word �adoption� here is huiothesia, �the son-placing.� However, there is no reference to that which is designated by the same term in Romans 3:15, but rather to that to which reference is made in Exodus 4:22 and Hosea 11:1, the word huios �son� being used in Exodus 4:22, and teknon, �child� in Hosea 11:1. Israel as a nation was known as a son of God in the Old Testament. When the word �son� is used in the plural in the Old Testament, it refers to angels, such as genesis 6:1 and Job 1:6; 2:1. The glory refers to �the visible luminous appearance of the divine presence called by the Israelites the gory of Jahveh...the Shekinah...The covenants refer to the various covenants God made with Israel such as the Abrahamic, promising to make Abraham a great nation and giving to him the possession of the land from the Nile to the Euphrates (Genesis 15:18), and the Davidic, promising to that nation an eternal dynasty of kings stemming from David (2 Samuel 7:11-16). God never makes any covenants with the other races (non-Israelites)... The Mosaic Law was given exclusively to Israel, and never pertained to the other races (non-Israelites). �The service�...The verb is �to render religious service.�...The promises refer to the Messianic promises (the promise of a Savior).� (Word Studies From the Greek New Testament, Vol. 1; Romans, p. 154-155)

The other key in understanding this word is to be found in Liddell and Scott�s...(as it is popularly known) Greek-English Lexicon (based on the German Works of Francis Passow) from the Harper Brothers� 1846 edition under the word ΥIΟΣ (HWEE- _ s; �son�).

�...later, the plural was sometimes used...as a periphr. For trades or professions (which indeed were freq. Handed don from father to son).�

This, of course, adds fresh, new understanding to John 20:21, in which Christ told His disciples, �Peace be unto you: AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU.� It is not necessarily the �adoption� of a child, into a family that was not formerly his family, but rather, it is the COMING OF AGE OF A CHILD INTO A RESPECTED POSITION OF RESPONSIBILITY; OR THE REINSTATEMENT OF A SON BACK INTO HIS RESPECTED PLACE IN THE FAMILY. (This flies in the face of the Judeos who claim that the adoption pertains to Israelites being readopted into the Israelite family, such as the Lost House of Israel being taken back into the fold, for this is completely foreign and in enmity with Scripture)

This can be seen in the synthesis of thought found in the words of Christ when He recounted the story of the Prodigal son,

�Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am not more worthy to be called thy son: make mas a one of thy hired servants...� (Luke 15:18-19)

And when He commissioned His disciples before His death,

�Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My Name, he may give it you.� (John 15:15-16)

Since Yahshua is God the Son, and since we are the sons of God; and since Christ came to REINSTATE US IN THE FAMILY, commissioning us with orders from our Father, then we carry on the propagation of the genes and trade/life�s vision of both God and Christ.

�...that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.� (Romans 8:16-17)

But notice the difference between THESE two verses:

�But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the SONS (TEK-non) of God, even to them that believe on His Name.� (John 1:12)

�For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS (HWEE-�s) of God. (Romans 8:14)

TEK-non is Greek word #043 which means �a child (as produced): child, daughter, son.� This word is passive indicating, OFFSPRING MERELY HERE AS A MATTER OF FACT AS A RESULT OF BEING BORN OF PARENTS. However, (HWEE- _ s) is more than that. If we are led of God�s Spirit, we are elevated to the position of HONORABLE, RESPECTED SONS and not merely children or offspring. Remember, in Biblical times, men had more than one wife (not to mention concubines or handmaidens). There WERE A LOT OF CHILDREN; however, only a select few of these were SONS: those few who held legitimate right to assume the headship of the family according to the Biblical Law of PRIMOGENITURE (LEGITIMATE first-born). So it was with the children of Abraham: ONLY IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED (ordained to carry on the family name and inherit the family wealth)

Thus, we should see the very close affinity of the Greek u�to�s (HWEE- _ s) and the Hebrew __ (BAYN) #1121 which means �a son� (AS A BUILDER OF THE FAMILY NAME); one who does not merely PASSIVELY RECEIVE his life from his ancestors; but further, on who FAITHFULLY AND ACTIVELY TRANSMITS THAT SAME GENETIC/ SPIRITUAL MATERIAL (as well as ONES TRADE, GOALS, LIFE�S PURPOSE, etc.), passing it on to his sons after him (descendants), who do the same, etc.

When God renamed Jacob, He named him, �Israel,� which means �He who prevailingly rules with God over man.� Jacob had been a trickster/ supplanter, which his name had implied: �heel-catcher.� However, he had met God through adversity and proved he had grown up and was ready to face the results of his actions. Even as Israel (Jacob) grew up, and was appointed into a special place of honor, so too must Israel as a nation

Israel as a nation mirrors its patriarchal namesake: both were blessed from the start; both took advantage of the blessing; both went into bondage s a result of their sins; both learned something through their tribulation; both were delivered from bondage with great wealth; both were to face oppression from Edom/Esau; both were to be delivered and appointed to a position of great honor and responsibility. History often repeats itself; and it is here that we (Israel) find ourselves again: about to meet head-on with Esau/Edom (after having evaded him for many years) uncertain whether the encounter will find us dead or in bondage, or victorious.

�But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law. To REDEEM them that were under the Law, that we might received the adoption of sons. And because ye are son. God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of god through Christ.� 9Galatians 4:4-7)

Notice: Those we are adopted are those WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW. Only Israelites are ADOPTED. It also seem that the word adoption is also related somehow to doing the part of the Kinsman Redeemer.��������������������������� ���������������

God ONLY gave His Name, Yahweh, to HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL, as a special Covenant Name, by which THEY were to know and call Him.

�And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Yahweh: And I APPEARED UNTO ABRAHAM, UNTO ISAAC, AND UNTO JACOB, BY THE NAME OF GOD (ayle) ALMIGHTY (shad-dah-EE), BUT BY NAME YAHWEH WAS I NOT KNOW TO THEM. And I HAVE ALSO ESTABLISHED MY COVENANT WITH THEM, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I HAVE REMEMBERED MY COVENANT. Wherefore say unto the Children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will bring yo out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I WILL REDEEM YOU with a stretched out arm> (Even as Christ, the Savior of Israel would one day, WITH OUTSTRETCHED ARMS redeem His people, declaring with a final breath of triumph, �It is finished!�) and with great judgments: AND I WILL TAKE YOU TO ME FOR A PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE TO YOU A GOD: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM YAHWEH YOUR GOD (El-o-HEEM), which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am Yahweh.� (Exodus 6:2-8; See also Exodus 20:7; Numbers 6:23-27; Isaiah 52:6; Jeremiah 16:21)

� ���� Speaking of the Stranger:

The Hebrew word ZUWR, translated primarily as �stranger,�does NOT mean ONE OF ANOTHER RACE, most people seem to believe. Any racial identity must be determined by conted. Strong�s... compares (#2114) ZUWR with the Hebrew word (#2219) ZAW-raw.

�a prim. Root (comp. #2114), to toss about; by impl. To diffuse, winnow;\: cast away, compass, disperse, fan, scatter (away), spread, strew, winnow.� (See Leviticus 26:33; Psalm 106:27; Ezekiel 5:10, 12; 6:5; and Ezekiel 36:10 (translated as �dispersed.�)

Likewise, Strong�s...states, ZUWR (#2114) � aprim. root, means,

�to turn aside (espec. For lodging); hence to be a foreigner, strange, profane; spec. (act. Part.) To commit adultery: (come from) another (man, place), fanner, go away, (e-) strange (-r, thing, woman).�

Using your Bible and Strong�s..., consider the following verses which contain various Hebrew words all translated �stranger.� Note especially those verses containing the word ZUWR which are translated other than �stranger:�

1). Compare Leviticus 22:10-13 with Numbers 16:40: ZUWR and EESH are both translated �stranger� and are used interchangeably to refer to an ISRAELITE NOT OF THE ARONIC, LEVITICAL STOCK;

2). Deuteronomy 25:5: EESH is translated �stranger to refer to AN ISRAELITE OUTSIDE OF ONE�S IMMEDIATE FAMILY/TRIBE;

3). 1 Kings 3:18: ZUWR is translated �stranger� in reference TO ANY OTHER PERSON OTHER THAN THE TWO IN QUESTION;

4). Psalm 54:3: ZUWR is translated �stranger in reference to HE MEN OF JUDAH IN CONFEDERATION WITH KING SAUL;

5). Psalm 69:8: ZUWR is translated �stranger� referring to David�s OWN FAMILY WHICH HAD BECOME ESTRANGED TO HIM;

6). Proverbs 27:2: ZUWR is translated �another man� and nok-REE as �stranger� referring to ANY ONE OTHER THAN ONESELF;

7). Isaiah 1:4: ZUWR is translated �gone away� in reference to ISRAELITES WHO SINNED AND DEPARTED FROM YAHWEH; ����������

8). Isaiah 28:21: ZUWR is translated �strange work� and nok-REE as �strange act� in reference to Yahweh bringing judgment upon the SINFUL HOUSE OF JUDAH;

9). Ezekiel 14:5: ZUWR is translated �estranged from God� in reference to THE SINFUL HOUSE OF ISRAEL;

10). Ezekiel 16:32: ZUWR is translated �strangers� in reference to ANY MAN OTHER THAN A WOMAN�S OWN HUSBAND;

10). Hosea 8:12: ZUWR is translated �strange thing� in reference to Israel not recognizing God�s Law.

These words clearly do NOT demand the meaning of a RACIALLY-DIFFERENT �STRANGER,� but anyone other than the proper person, or an Israelite who has become estranged, or something that is a foreign concept or oddity because of ones heart condition. This is incontrovertible proof that ZUWR can refer to Israelites: it (even as other Hebrew words for stranger) is a generic term which can be used of Israelites or non-Israelites (even as the words �Gentile� and �jew�) whose meaning can only be determined from CONTEXT.

The similarity between ZUWR and ZAW-raw is to be found in the concept of SCATTERING; it seems possible that ZUWR, when referring to an Israelite, COULD mean �ONE WHO BECAME ESTRANGED WHEN HE WAS SCATTERED OR DEPARTED.� Again, CONTEXT ALONE determines whether ZUWR refers to a SAME- RACE STRANGER, or a stranger OF ANOTHER RACE.��� The similarity of ZUWR and ZAW-raw can easily be seen in Jeremiah 51:2, �And will send unto Babylon FANNER (ZUWR), that shall FAN (ZAW-raw) her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.� ZAR-raw is also used as �to fan� in Isaiah 41:16, Jeremiah 4:11; 16:7; and as �winnoweth� in Ruth 2:3 and Isaiah 30:24.

� ���� Other Hebrew words rendered �stranger� are

clearly ALSO distinguished as Israelite or non-Israelite STRANGERS BY CONTEXT ALONE, for the English translations also render as �stranger,� words which clearly do NOT mean STRANGER in their primary meaning. The Hebrew #1121 BAYN (which we saw means �a family-building son�) is translated numerous times as �stranger.� (See Exodus 12:43) Another Hebrew word also translated as �stranger,� from time to time, is #376 EESH (which is another man word normally translated �man�). (See Leviticus 22:12)

Actually, #376 EESH itself is a contraction of en- _ WSH: Yet it carries a somewhat more dignified meaning (often referring to a man under some covenant relationship), though still not as dignified as aw-DAWM:

�And the rib, which Yahweh El-o-HEEM had taken from MAN, (aw-DAWM) made he a WOMAN (#802 ish-SHAW (fem. Of #376 (eesh) or #582 (en-�WSH) and brought her unto the man (aw-DAWM). And Adam (aw-DAWM) said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called WOMAN, (ish-SHAW) because she was taken out of MAN (eesh). Therefore shall a MAN (eesh) leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his WIFE: (ish-SHAW) and they shall be one flesh...and gave also unto her HUSBAND (eesh) with her; and he did eat.� (Genesis 2:22-24; 3:6)

One of the other main Hebrew words translated �man,{ is #1397 GHEH-ber which means �mighty or valiant man, even warrior.�

Some other Hebrew words translated as �stranger� are: #1481 GUWR, which primarily means �traveler or guest;� #1616 GAYR (from #1481 GUWR); #4033 maw-GUWR (from #1481 guwr); and #8453 to-SHAWB.

Whether people like it or not, love it or hate it; God has regard ONLY for HIS PEOPLE,

�You only have I known of all the families of the earth...� (Amos 3:2)

and dispossess other peoples of their land and their lives, in favor of Israel, as He sees fit:

�But no thus saith Yahweh that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have REDEEMED thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am Yahweh thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I GAVE EGYPT FOR THY RANSOM, ETHIOPIA AND SEBA FOR THEE. Since THOU WAS PRECIOUS IN MY SIGHT, thou hast been honorable, and I HAVE LOVED THEE: THEREFORE WILL I GIVE MEN FOR THEE, AND PEOPLE FOR THY LIFE. Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of she earth; Even every one that is called by My Name: for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears...YE ARE MY WITNESSES, saith Yahweh, AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: and YE may now and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior...thus saith Yahweh, YOUR REDEEMER, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; FOR YOU SAKE I HAVE SENT TO BABYLON, AND HAVE BROUGHT YOU DOWN ALL THEIR NOBLES, AND THE CHALDEANS, WHOSE CRY IS IN THE SHIPS. I am Yahweh, Your HOLY ONE, THE CREATOR OF ISRAEL, YOUR KING. Thus said Yahweh, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters. Behold I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert...I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, My Chosen. This people have I formed for myself; they shall sow forth my praise. I, even I, an He that blotteht out thy transgressions for Mine Own sake, and will not remember thy sins.� (Isaiah 43:1-8, 10-11, 14-16, 19-21, 25)

See also the numerous passages in which God said He would drive the Canaanites out of the Land of Canaan; and in which God commanded Israel to go into the land of Canaan and dispossess the peoples already living there (the Canaanites) and utterly destroy them. (Exodus 17:23; Numbers 21; Deuteronomy 2, 3, 7, 12, 13, 20; etc.

God called ISRAEL OUT FROM AMONG ALL OTHER PEOPLES and SEPARATED HER FROM ALL OTHER PEOPLES; and Yahweh commanded the ISRAELITES TO SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM ALL OTHER PEOPLES AND BE HOLY (Something is only holy when it is �set apart� (separated) from everything else; and kept apart. When that which was once holy, is no longer separated, but conglomerated with everything else, it is NO longer holy: it is common) unto Him. (Leviticus 11:4-5; 20:7; 1 Kings 8:22-(53)-62; Ezra 10:11; Isaiah 41:8-9; 2 Corinthians 6:17-18; 1 Peter 1:15-16)

GOD GAVE THE WHOLE EARTH to the children of men (ADAM) and to ISRAEL FOREVER. (Deuteronomy 4:40; Psalm 115:16)

This is a short history of Israel, that few examine completely. Even before the Children of Israel entered into the Promised Land Moses told them that they would want a king, instead of the Almighty.

"And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now MAKE US A KING TO JUDGE US LIKE ALL THE NATIONS. But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but THEY HAVE REJECTED ME, THAT I SHOULD NOT REIGN OVER THEM." (1 Samuel 8:5‑7)

Moses also told them that they would dwell long in the land but that eventually they would sin against God and He would drive them out into other nations.

"See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that YE SHALL NOT PROLONG YOUR DAYS UPON THE LAND, WHITHER THOU PASSEST OVER JORDAN TO GO TO POSSESS IT. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." (Deuteronomy 30:15‑20)

So the Israelites were carried into the Assyrian Captivity. We are told of the Assyrians coming against Israel four times. To take away the House of Israel and about a one hundred years later most of the House of Judah, so that only a remnant was left in Judah and Jerusalem.

Now here is were the rubber meets the road so‑to‑speak and where the parting of the ways come from the Judeo Christians because their leaders have lied to them; deceived them; and taught Jewish fables instead of the truth. For they think that the Jews who are currently stealing the land of the Palestinians is the return of the Israelites to the land of their birth.

When nothing could be further from the truth. The Jews who occupy the land known today as Israeli are a lying, deceiving, murdering people. Most of which came from the Khazar of Russia, and Eastern European. According to the Standard Jewish Encyclopedia 96% of all the Jews known to the world today are the descendants of the Khazar Tribes of Russia, Eastern Europe and Western Mongolia; These are the Oscines Jews, the other major sect of the Jews are the Sephardic Jews, and they are a Bastard people from the mixing of the Canaanites, Hitites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites, Girgashites, Kenites, Edomites and some True Israelites. The Jews have never been Israelites; they are not Israelites now; and they will never be Israelites.

The Israelites were never to return to the land of Palestine for the way would be hedged so that they could not find the old paths. Thus the Jews were bragging that Jerusalem and Palestine was theirs, and that the Israelites were to leave for it had been given to them.

We are told:

"Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, THY BRETHREN, EVEN THY BRETHREN, THE MEN OF THY KINDRED, AND ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WHOLLY, (Here it is plain for all to see that the brethren spoken of is the house of Israel, the True Israelites and not the Jews. That the Jews are telling the True Israelites that Palestine and Jerusalem is now theirs)Yahshua are they unto whom THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM (the Jews) Yahshua have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto us (Jews) Yahshua is this land (Palestine and Jerusalem) Yahshua given in possession." (Ezekiel 11:14‑15)

Then we are told about Yahweh and His Glory leaving Jerusalem never to return. For He never returned to Shiloh, neither will He ever return to Palestine again.

For a second witness:

"And THE GLORY OF THE LORD WENT UP FROM THE MIDST OF THE CITY, AND STOOD UPON THE MOUNTAIN which is on the east side of the city. Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me. Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the Lord had shewed me. The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying, Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house. Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house. Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity. Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel. And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight. And in the morning came the word of the Lord unto me, saying, Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou? Say thou unto them, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them. SAY, I AM YOUR SIGN: LIKE AS I HAVE DONE, SO SHALL IT BE DONE UNTO THEM: THEY SHALL REMOVE AND GO INTO CAPTIVITY."� (Ezekiel 11:23‑Ezekiel 12:11)

In the description of the Promised Land we see that Moses was NOT TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE FOR IT IS NOT NEARLY LARGE ENOUGH TO CONTAIN ALL THE PROMISES THAT YAHWEH PROMISED ISRAEL:

Deuteronomy 33

1). And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

2). And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

3). Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.

4). Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

5 And he was king in Jeshurun (Strong's #3484), when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

Jeshurun; Strong's Concordance: OT:3484: Yeshuruwn (yesh‑oo‑roon'); from OT:3474; upright; JESHURUN, A SYMBOL, NAME FOR ISRAEL: KJV‑Jeshurun. (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek‑Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

6). Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.

7). And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.

8). And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim (Strong's Concordance: OT:8550: EPITHETS OF THE OBJECTS IN THE HIGH‑PRIEST'S BREASTPLATE AS AN EMBLEM OF COMPLETE TRUTH. (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek‑Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)) and thy Urim ( Strong's Concordance: OT:244: 'Ozniy (oz‑nee'); from OT:241; having (quick) ears; Ozni, an Israelite; also an Oznite (collectively), his descendant: KJV‑Ozni, Oznites). (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek‑Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)) be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

9). Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

10). They (The High Priest and Israelite) shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

11). Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

12). And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

13). And of JOSEPH HE SAID, BLESSED OF THE LORD BE HIS LAND (This cannot be Palestine for it says it is Joseph's land), FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF HEAVEN, FOR THE DEW, AND FOR THE DEEP THAT COUCHETH BENEATH.

14). And FOR THE PRECIOUS FRUITS BROUGHT FORTH BY THE SUN, AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS PUT FORTH BY THE MOON.

15). And FOR THE CHIEF THINGS OF THE ANCIENT MOUNTAINS, AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE LASTING HILLS.

16). And FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE EARTH AND FULNESS THEREOF, AND FOR THE GOOD WILL OF HIM THAT DWELT IN THE BUSH: LET THE BLESSING COME UPON THE HEAD OF JOSEPH, AND UPON THE TOP OF THE HEAD OF HIM THAT WAS SEPARATED FROM HIS BRETHREN.

17). HIS GLORY IS LIKE THE FIRSTLING OF HIS BULLOCK, AND HIS HORNS ARE LIKE THE HORNS OF UNICORNS: WITH THEM HE SHALL PUSH THE PEOPLE TOGETHER TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: AND THEY ARE THE TEN THOUSANDS OF EPHRAIM, AND THEY ARE THE THOUSANDS OF MANASSEH.

All these blessings were to come upon Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh). There is no doubt that these blessings have been fulfilled completely in the United States of America. They have been fulfilled in the other Christian Nations of the West, but they have been completely fulfilled in America.

18). And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.

19 THEY SHALL CALL THE PEOPLE (The Israelites, all 13 tribes) UNTO THE MOUNTAIN (The United States of America); THERE THEY SHALL OFFER SACRIFICES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR THEY SHALL SUCK OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE SEAS, AND OF TREASURES HID IN THE SAND.

Although this has seen fulfillment in many of the other Christian Nations of the West, we have seen the complete fulfillment of this blessing in the United States of America � THE NATION.

20). And OF GAD HE SAID, BLESSED BE HE THAT ENLARGETH GAD: HE DWELLEHT AS A LION, AND TEARETH THE ARM WITH THE CROWN OF THE HEAD.

21). And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, HE EXECUTED THE JUSTICE OF THE LORD, AND HIS JUDGMENTS WITH ISRAEL.

We have seen the fulfillment of this in England and their Heraldry Shield is the Lion. England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were honorable and led for over a thousand years by just capable rulers, until they let the Jews come in and begin to take places of leadership.

22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.

Strong's Concordance: OT:1316: Bashan (baw‑shawn'); of uncertain derivation; Bashan (often with the article), a region East of the Jordan: KJV‑Bashan (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek‑Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Dan has been known as a sea faring people.

23). And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.

24).� And OF ASHER HE SAID, LET ASHER BE BLESSED WITH CHILDREN; LET HIM BE ACCEPTABLE TO HIS BRETHREN, AND LET HIM DIP HIS FOOT IN OIL.

Here many wish to say that this has to be the Arab countries, but that cannot be the case. For the Arabs are the children of Ishmael, not Israel. But we have seen this in many of the Christian Nations of Israel, such as South Africa, England, Canada, the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand and some of the other Israelite nations.

25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun (Israel as shown above), who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.

27). The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

28). Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

29). Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

Many of the prophets of Israel told that the Children of Israel would be taken to the real Promised Land. For the land of Palestine could never hold the untold millions of Israelites that Yahweh had promised Abraham.

Six times God promised that the Israelites would number as the stars in the sky:

1). "And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." (Genesis 26:4)

2). "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever." (Exodus 32:13)

3). "The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude." (Deuteronomy 1:10)

4). "Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude." (Deuteronomy 10:22)

5). "And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God." (Deuteronomy 28:62)

6). "Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it." (Nehemiah 9:23)

Five times we are told that the Children of Israel would number as the sand of the sea:

1). "And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude." (Genesis 32:12)

2). "For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness." (Isaiah 10:22)

3). "As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me." (Jeremiah 33:22)

4). "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God." (Hosea 1:10)

5).� "Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved." (Romans 9:27)

Three times we are told that the Israelites would number as the dust of the earth:

1). "And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered." (Genesis 13:16)

2). "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." (Genesis 28:14)

3). "Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude." (2 Chronicles 1:9)

Therefore, we can clearly see that Palestine was NEVER the land of Promise. For there is no way this many people could exist there, farm, there and do the other things that is necessary to sustain life.

Other similarities in the two visions that one can see that these men were writing of the same Jerusalem <New Jerusalem> Prophetic Jerusalem, and not the old historical city. That New Jerusalem was a land, a great nation, to be inhabited by the regathered tribes of Israel, is made plain in such verses Zechariah 2:4, where we read, Yahshua

"Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein."

In the first chapter God says in verse 14, Yahshua

"I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy."

Then in verse 17, Yahshua

"My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad."

In chapter two verse 6, God said of this Jerusalem; Yahshua

"I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven."

This was fulfilled in the driving out of the Israel people from Old Canaan Land several hundred years before Christ and their dispersion into the then vacant continent of Europe where they were to become the great nations of Christendom. When they were scatter over Europe they lost their name of Israel and later became known generally to historians as Isaac's Sons or Saxons. With divisions such as Angles, Celts, Germans, Scandinavians and other kindred people.

I am going to present many scriptures one after the other to show that the latter day Israel was to be a nation of Israelites regathered from many nations. A nation in a land different than Old Palestine. Yahshua

"...though there were of you cast into the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence."� (Nehemiah 1:9) Yahshua

"And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south."� (Psalms 107:3)�

Yahshua"...and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth."� (Isaiah 11:12) Yahshua

"Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king...AND SO CAME THY INTO ANOTHER LAND...THEN DWELT THEY THERE UNTIL THE LATER TIME."� (2 Esdras 13:40‑46)

Yahshua"Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these FROM THE LAND OF SINIM [This was the ancient name of China] ."� (Isaiah 49:12)

Yahshua"...thy sons shall come from far."� (Isaiah 60:4) Yahshua

"...when ye be multiplied and increased in the land...and ALL THE NATIONS [Of Israel] SHALL BE GATHERED UNTO IT...AND GIVE THEE A PLEASANT LAND."� (Jeremiah 3:16‑19)

Yahshua"Lo, THY SONS COME...GATHERED together from the east to the west."� (Baruch 4:37)

Yahshua"...and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord."� (Jeremiah 29:14)

Yahshua"I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."� (Ezekiel 11:17)

Yahshua"And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered."� (Ezekiel 20:34)

"And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them TO THEIR OWN LAND, and feed them upon the mountains [nations] of Israel by the river(s), and in all the inhabited places of the country."� (Ezekiel 34:13)

Yahshua"For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and WILL BRING YOU INTO YOUR OWN LAND."� (Ezekiel 36:24)

Yahshua"Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and BRING THEM INTO THEIR OWN LAND: And I will make them ONE NATION in the land upon the mountains [nations] Of Israel; and ONE KING [President] SHALL be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all."� (Ezekiel 37:21‑22)

Yahshua"...in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains [nations] Of Israel, WHICH HAVE BEEN ALWAYS WASTE."� (Ezekiel 38:8)

"Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and APPOINT THEMSELVES ONE HEAD, and they shall come up out of the land." (Hosea 1:11)

"In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast off A STRONG NATION: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion." (Micah 4:6‑7)

It is obvious these are not one nation collected together, but is composed of people from many different nations. This is so prominent that the prophet Isaiah seems to dwell upon it with inspired eloquence: Yahshua

"Lift up thine eyes round about...behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee."� (Isaiah 49:18)

Then again, Yahshua

"Lift up thin eyes round about and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far...thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side...the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee...WHO ARE THESE THAT FLY AS A CLOUD, and as the doves to their windows."� (Isaiah 60:4‑8)

The prophet then goes on to enrich his description by images, in keeping with the description of the Stone Kingdom as spoken of by Daniel, drawn both from the animal and vegetable kingdoms: Yahshua

"...the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee...The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Mindian and Ehah...they shall bring gold...All the flocks of Kadar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaiath shall minister unto thee...the glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together."� (Isaiah 60:5‑13)

If one is honest, and a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no escaping the fact that the Prophets of God make observations that fit ONLY the United States; and by no stretch of the imagination will they fit the present day state of Israel.

Yahshua"...thy people the house of Jacob..THEIR LAND also IS FULL OF SILVER and GOLD, NEITHER IS THERE ANY END OF THEIR TREASURES; THEIR LAND is also FULL OF HOUSES, NEITHER IS THERE ANY END OF THEIR CHARIOTS: THEIR LAND also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made."� (Isaiah 2:6‑8)

Again: Yahshua

"Look upon Zion...A PLACE OF BROAD RIVERS AND STREAMS."� (Isaiah 33:20‑21)

Then:

Yahshua"THERE THY GATES SHALL BE OPEN CONTINUALLY; THEY SHALL NOT BE SHUT DAY NOR NIGHT."� (Isaiah 60:11)

In Jeremiah:

Yahshua"Jacob...shall be in [at] rest...NONE SHALL MAKE HIM AFRAID."� (Jeremiah 30:10)

In Ezekiel:

Yahshua"BUT THEY SHALL DWELL SAFELY, and NONE shall make them afraid."� (Ezekiel 34:28)

Yahshua"...to turn thine hand upon THE DESOLATE PLACES THAT ARE NOT INHABITED."� (Ezekiel 38:12)

In Zechariah:

Yahshua"JERUSALEM SHALL BE INHABITED AS TOWNS without walls..."� (Zechariah 2:4)

In Esdras: Yahshua"I LED YOU THROUGH THE SEA, and in the beginning gave you a large and safe passage."� (2 Esdras 1:13)

As you can see, there is not a single verse quoted here, which one could even remotely apply to the Jews. Their land, the present day State of Israel, has no gold or silver [Except that which they have stolen or extorted from the Christians of the world by their lies in presenting themselves as the Yahshua"Chosen of God" when, in fact, they are the Children of Satan]; and through their presentation of the Yahshua"GREAT HOLOCAUST LIE" wherein their propagandists falsely claim that six million Jews died in Nazi death camps. Nor do they have cattle or trees, except in very few numbers; nor wealth of any kind, except that which, as we said, was stolen from the other races of the world. Their gates [Ports of entry] are continually closed and they dwell IN CONSTANT FEAR OF INVASION.

Further: JERUSALEM IS NOT INHABITED AS TOWN(s) [Plural more than one] for the multitude of men and cattle therein. And their dwellings are not in the midst of the sea. In the following scriptures we can see where the prophet enters into a more detailed description: Yahshua

"And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls."� (Isaiah 60:10)

Yahshua"...and strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers."� (Isaiah 61:5)

The News Media almost daily, report that only the new emigrants, the illegal aliens, their sons and daughters will perform or work at these agriculture types of jobs. So with this in mind we can see the truth of the following prophecy is just as evident: Yahshua

"The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet."� (Isaiah 60:14)

It is also possible with a study of the history books that the sons of the soldiers who invaded our coasts, murdered our people and burned our towns and villages; the sons of those who sneered at our ancestors attempts at freedom and attempted to crush it in the cradle; the sons of those who predicted the downfall of American Independence and that the Liberty being sought would die with George Washington. The English soldiers did these things and more, then when the war was over they came and sought for themselves a refuge and home in our land.

Israel to spread abroad;

to the West, East, North and South.

Yahshua������� "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south [Here we can see clearly the Lord was giving a prophecy that Israel would someday be spread to the four corners of the earth]."� (Genesis 28:14)

Yahshua"Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west: I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth."� (Isaiah 43:5‑6)

Yahshua"Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad."� (Zechariah 1:17)

Yahshua"...for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord."� (Zechariah 2:6)

It must be taken into consideration that Zechariah, as a Prophet to Israel, spoke not only to those in the Babylonian captivity, but to the millions of Israelites who had, at that time, been taken into the Assyrian lands.

These and other scriptures relate once again the vast number of people Israel was to become. Now if we take these and other prophecies and attempt to put them in little Old Palestine, we are in trouble! It is simply not large enough.

As these scriptures show, the Lord will dwell there; Zion will be there, many from the east, north, west and south will be there; a MULTITUDE of men and cattle, and it will Yahshua"spread abroad" and be so large that angels will have to measure it.

Not only that but God said; Yahshua

"I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel...they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men."� (Micah 2:12)

It is certain that number of people could not dwell in Old Palestine! Some statistics on the Jewish occupied area of Old Jerusalem and Palestine show it is not of sufficient size for a Yahshua"multitude of people."

The Present day State of Israel is bounded on the north by Syria, on the east by Jordan, on the south by Egypt and consists of an area of 7,847 sq. mi. compare that with the United States which has an area of 3,540,939 sq. mi. which is 5 times larger.

Israel is approximately the size of New Jersey. However, since the so‑called Yahshua"war" in 1967, the area controlled by the Zionist Jews has increased substantially, but even if they took control of several entire Arabian countries, the Zionist state would still be smaller than just one of the average American States!!!

Now lets study the various Prophets and see what they have to say about Israel IN THEIR LAND, which clearly shows that Palestine was NEVER the land of Promise.

1). "Moreover I WILL APPOINT A PLACE FOR MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND WILL PLANT THEM, THAT THEY MAY DWELL IN A PLACE OF THEIR OWN, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime." (2 Samuel 7:10)

2). "Also I WILL ORDAIN A PLACE FOR MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND WILL PLANT THEM, AND THEY SHALL DWELL IN THEIR PLACE, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning." (1 Chronicles 17:9)

No you must remember that Nathan the prophet told King David these things while David was sitting in his house, in Jerusalem, in Palestine.

3). "But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and THEY SHALL DWELL IN THEIR OWN LAND." (Jeremiah 23:8)

4). "For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will YET CHOOSE ISRAEL, AND SET THEM IN THEIR OWN LAND: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob." (Isaiah 14:1)

5). "And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and WILL BRING THEM TO THEIR OWN LAND, AND FEED THEM UPON THE MOUNTAINS (Nations) OF ISRAEL by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country." (Ezekiel 34:13)

6). "And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and BRING THEM INTO THEIR OWN LAND." (Ezekiel 37:21)

7). "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely IN THEIR LAND, and none made them afraid." (Ezekiel 39:25‑26)

With all this evidence, why then do some people insist that this passage in Isaiah 56 �opens the door� to ALL OTHER PEOPLES, thus nullifying God�s EXCLUSIVE PROMISES and MAKING THAT WHICH WAS SPECIAL, common, and MAKING THAT WHICH WAS PECULIAR, ordinary, and MAKING THAT WHICH WAS HOLY, base? We know that when distinctly different races live in close proximity to one another, mongrelization is INEVITABLE. Why hen would God indicate that He word join all types of other peoples unto Israel? The answer is: HE DIDN�T. Isaiah 56:8 talks about the REGATHERING AND REUNITING OF BOTH HOUSES OF ISRAEL (the House of Israel and the House of Judah).

Further, it should be noted that in Isaiah 52:11, (the famous passage referred to in the New Testament in 2 Corinthians 6:17, �Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith Yahweh�)

Yahweh had just told the Israelites to come out from among all other peoples (the Babylonians (The word Babylon means �confusion by mixing;� and the Babylonians, toward the end of their empire, were a thoroughly mixed people specifically), purify themselves, and remain separate. Why then, would God, a MERE four chapters later, tell the Israelites that He �changed His Mind,� and would be joining back unto them the other peoples from which He had just commanded them to separate themselves (thus undoing the result which the command �separate yourselves� was meant to procure)? This is a blatant contradiction. It is a buffoonery of interpretation. This absurdity makes mockery of the Word of God.
