You may be one of many Americans who are concerned by the direction in which the nation is going. Possibly you are discouraged because conditions seem to be worsening despite your efforts to awaken your acquaintances and public officials. When a doctor's patient fails to respond to treatment, the doctor generally will review his diagnosis. Our patient, the United States, is very sick and obviously not responding to our treatment. So let's review our diagnosis of the nation's ills. We may have overlooked something important and a correct diagnosis must precede the cure.

The chaos, which we see in the affairs of men, presents a startling contrast to the harmony in nature and in the heavens. Scientists tell us that our sun is only one of about 200,000,000,000 stars in the galaxy called the Milky Way. They say the Milky Way is but one of billions of huge galaxies. Trillions of suns or stars and their associated planets are whirling through space at incredible speeds, in mathematically precise orbits throughout the universe. Surely this reflects perfect planning. As the Psalmist wrote, "Truly the heavens declare the glory of Yahweh". While we may marvel at the heavens, we must admit the existence of life and particularly man, the highest form of life, is an even more glorious declaration of the power of Yahweh.� Is it reasonable to believe there is no plan for man, Yahweh's greatest creation? After his creation, man was left alone to wander aimlessly without a specific purpose?

Your logic tells you this would be an inconsistency. If the course of the stars has been planned, then the course of man has been planned. It is unfolding before your very eyes, but most of us don't recognize it because the religious world has withheld the truth from us. The average church goer is fed doctrines of devils such as Darwin, Freud and Karl Marx, sugar coated with a little Christianity, instead of being taught divine law and Yahweh's plan for the ages as given to us by the prophets and apostles. That we would have a corrupted church world in this day was foretold by the prophets, as was the world chaos, which would result from this condition.

Luke 3:38 tells how the Bible reveals Yahweh's plan for bringing all mankind into harmony with His purposes. His plan begins with the incarnation of Adam, the first son of Yahweh on earth. Adam's descendants who maintained their racial purity were called Israel. The genealogies of the Bible are of fundamental importance since Yahweh's law is, each after his own kind. Everything, which Yahweh created, is equal in the sight of Yahweh in the purpose for which it was created. The mixing of different kinds has always brought judgment on every civilization, which permitted it. The mission of the Israelites is found in the meaning of the word Israel, which is "He will rule as Yahweh". In Deuteronomy 7:6 the following statement is made regarding Israel. "For thou art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God. Yahweh thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

The entire Bible is written about this race of people. From the 12th chapter of Genesis, to the last chapter of Revelation. There are 1,178 chapters in all; every chapter is about one man's family, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Ephraim, Manasseh and their descendants. In all of these 1,178 chapters, there is no mention of a man, woman or child, king or queen, prince or princess, city, state, mountain, river or event which does not involve Israel.

For some unaccountable reason, when people hear the word Israel, they think of Jews. However, most of today's Jews are a mixture of various races and are called Jews because they practice Judaism, which had its foundations in the Babylonian mysteries, rather than the scriptures. During Yahshua's ministry, Judaism was known as the tradition of the elders and according to Yahshua, was contrary to Yahweh.

The Bible gives seventy or more notable prophetic marks by which Israel can be identified. Some of these identification marks are the following:

Would be above all other nations. Genesis 27:29, Deuteronomy 7:6; 15:6.

Would be a maritime power. Genesis 49:25, Numbers 24:7, Deut. 33:13, Psalm 89:25.

A great nation and a company of nations. Genesis 35:11, 48:19.

A people glorying in Yahshua. Isaiah 41:16; Acts 5:31; Romans

A missionary people. Genesis 22:18, 28:14; Isaiah 43; 10-12:21;

Custodian of Yahweh's word. Psalm 147:19-20; Isaiah 59:21.

Blind to her identity. Isaiah 29:10-12; 42:16, 19-20; Romans 11:7,

Possessing the gates of her enemies. Genesis 22:17, 24:60.

Multitudinous seed. Genesis 13:16; 15:5; 24:60; 26:4; 28:3; 14.
