What is a Hebrew israelite
What is a Hebrew Israelite?


Israel is a nation of people where those who practice Judaism are members of a religion and not a nationality as such. Jews, on the other hand, are people of various nationalities who have abandoned their own cultures and adopted the religion of Judiasm. One may change his or her religion many times. On the contrary, one may never change who you are at birth, namely your nationality.

It is logically impossible to think of Russian Jews, Polish Jews, Spanish Jews, British Jews, French Jews, Hungarian Jews, American Jews, and even Arab Jews as a single nation. An Israelite is a descendent of the ancient nation of Israel. a Jew is a member of a religion called Judaism which attempts to practice the laws, traditions and customs of ancient Israel. In many instances Israelite culture has been modified in the Jewish religion.

Today the term Jew is erroneously assumed to be synonymous with Israel. This is due in part to the fact that what was strictly a religion has conviently taken on a nationalistic connotation with the establishment of the Zionist movement in Israel. Zionism is a movement which developed in Europe as an attempt to find a homeland for Jews who were being severely persecuted throughout Europe. The word Jew was non existing word among ancient Israelites.

The history of the Old Testament alone would reveal that the "chosen people" were descendants of a man named Israel. As a result, they are called Israelites not Jews. In fact, there is no such concept as a Jewish people in the Holy Scriptures. We find that the word Jew first appeared in the books, 1st Kings, 2 Kings, and Jeremiah in the Old Testament as an incorrect translation of the Hebrew word for Yehudah often pronounced Judah in English.

Thus, the word Jew arose as a derivative from the word Yehudah which identified a particular family or tribe. It would have been insulting for a Danite (one from the tribe of Dan) or a Gadite (one from the tribe of Gad) to be erroneously referred to as being of the tribe of Judah/Yehudah. The tribe of Judah was the last Israelite tribe to go into captivity.

The identity of the descendants of the Biblical Israelites and their divinely appointed purpose would raise some contentious issues which are not merely based upon the personal preferences or idiosyncracies of men. The roots of the dispute are found in the Holy Scriptures and therefore reminds us that the ultimate resolution of the matter also resides with the Holy One of Israel. Moreover, we cannot forget that ancient Biblical geneology is directly related to nations on the earth today.
The struggle of Esau and Jacob in the belly of Rebekah conceptualized what later became a struggle to inherit the land of Israel, the blessing given to Abraham by Almighty God. In 2 Kings 8:20, Edom rebelled against King David's occupying forces winning their freedom and ultimately choosing a king of their own. Yet, while they revoted against Judah's rule, years of a lifestyle under Judah's laws, the Torah, had made an enduring impression.

As the nation of Israel went into obscurity, the Edomites continued to adopt Israelite practices more and more. Obviously they realized the effect of living by great principles of law, from which they were able to build and bind a brotherhood affording them true national unity. Moreover, they came to understand that righteousness, justice and moral living were the keys to the preservation of their communities. So in short the Edomites moved into the land of Judah and named themselves after the Land and with the help of the Roman Catholic church form the religion called Jew or Jewish. We have been Lost and Spoiled you don't even know who you are anymore. I say to you all that will listen research research research because when you scratch the Lie you will Find the Truth.

The Lost Tribe Of Israel Can They Be Identified?

The Lost Tribe Of Israel Can They Be Identified?

To answer these questions, we have made a long and careful search of the Holy Bible and have concluded that the Israelites (Jews) are in fact a Black People

We arrived at this conclusion by reasons such as the color of the Israelites (Jews) of the Bible, and most noteworthy, the Bad Treatment and Continuous Bad Conditions that were prophesied to befall the real Israelites if they fail to keep the laws and commandments of God. God promised the Israelites that if they failed to obey him, he would curse them and eventually have them removed from their land and carried as slaves into every nation upon the earth. Israel failed, and God kept his promise.

After the Israelites were removed from the land of Israel, it was left as an empty house with no inhabitants. Now, if one can understand that any land which has been emptied of it's rightful owners can be claimed by any nationality of people that have the power or permission to settle in it and possess it, then it should also be easy to understand that the nationality of people which move in and take over the land can assume (adopt) the culture, history, and even call themselves by the name of the people that they have replaced. After a long period of years, that nationality would be accepted by the rest of the world as being the original and rightful inhabitants of that land. This would especially be true if the original people of the land had been moved by force, and carried off as slaves. Such is the case of the real Israelites (Jews)!

It is very easy to become lost when someone else is called by your name and is living in your land, while you have been carted off into slavery and are called by the name of the people of whatever nation you are found. After being in slavery for a long period of years, and throughout generations, it would be impossible for your children to remember their history. How can they remember what they were never taught?

Black History (The Holy Bible) tells us that there were two sons born to Isaac and to Rebekah, his wife. These two boys were struggling in their mother's womb even before they were born, and Rebekah asked the Lord why they were struggling. The Lord answered her, telling her that there were two different nations and two different manner of people in her womb and that he would separate them at birth. (See Genesis 25 chapter, vs. 21-25).

When the oldest son was born, the Bible says he was Red and Hairy, and was given the name Esau, but was later also called by the name of Edom. The youngest son was named Jacob, with no reference made to his color. His name was later changed to Israel. The fact being that such emphasis was put on Esau's appearance makes it clear that God had made more than just personality differences between the two boys!

As these two boys matured, there grew dislike between them because Esau claimed that Jacob stole his birthright. Therefore, Esau vowed to kill Jacob. As they developed into nations down through the generations, settling in different locations (Jacob in the land of Israel, which was named after him: and Esau in the land of Edom, also called and known as Mt. Seir), the children (descendants) of Esau were responsible for the death of many Israelites. Some times later, down through the generations, the children of Esau were able to take over the land of the children of Jacob, and to claim that they were the lost tribes of Israel. After taking the name and the land of the true Israelites, it was only a matter of time before the whole world accepted the children of Esau as being the lost tribes of Israel, (which is presently the case). Meanwhile, the true Israelites are still in captivity just as the Lord said they would be.

Being that we understand the origin, fate, and destination of both the descendants of Jacob and of Esau , we can say with proof , according to the Bible, that the whole world has accepted the descendants of Esau as being the Jews, but in truth they are not, but are really the descendants of Esau (Edom).

When Esau (the father of the Edomites) and Jacob (the father of the Jews) were born, the Bible describes Esau as being “red and hairy.” Later, in other scriptures, Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, was compared to the Ethiopians - "Are ye not as the children of Ethiopia unto me, O children of Israel?" (Amos 9:7). Ethiopia comes from the Greek word Aithiop, which means dark skin/ or face. The difference between "dark skin" and "red and hairy" is quite distinct, and has not changed down through the generations.

Now let us reason together. Understanding that Ethiopia comes from the Greek word Aithiop, which means “dark skin”, let us look at the description of Jesus in Revelation 1:14. "His head and his hairs were whit like wool, as white as snow: and his eyes were as a flame of fire,” (which only means they were red), "and his feet like fine brass, as if they were burned in a furnace." (Also see Rev. 1:18). Any rational minded person would understand that Jesus was not two colors, having a white head and a black or burnt (Aithiop) body. Reasoning will also cause you to understand that his hair is white and wooly, and his body and skin is like the Ethiopians (Dark Skin).

Song of Solomon 1:5-6, in the book of the Song of Solomon, we see the writing of Solomon where the Bible states, "The song of songs, which is Solomon's (meaning that Solomon himself made all statements in this particular book): and I quote, "I am Black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me because I am Black, because the sun hath looked upon me. "Most people think this is just a love story Solomon wrote, but in reality this is describing the relationship between God and his people.

There are other things written that describe color, such as Acts 13:1 where a prophet was called Niger, which means black. Niger is the word that nigger comes from. Also in Exodus 4:6 where Moses' hand turn leprous (as white as snow) and Numbers 12:13 where Miriam, Moses' sister, was turned white. Leviticus tells us that there are two kinds of leprosy: one is unclean leprosy, when there is raw or swollen skin in the flesh: the other is clean leprosy, when a person simply turns white all over. Now, honestly ask yourself, why would a white person get excited about turning white? But, if a black person turns white, that's something else! (See Leviticus 13:12- 13).

There are even more scriptures on color, and there are also other things written concerning the true Israelites (Jews). Things like going into captivity, being sold as slaves, dispersed all over the world, and forever living as a poor people being badly treated.

The God of Israel (The God of the Bible) pronounced a sentence upon Israel. He told them that if they would not keep his laws and abide by his rules, he would curse them, telling them exactly what would befall them. Israel broke his laws and did not keep his rules, so the Lord cursed them as he said he would. (See Deuteronomy 28th chapter).

In the 28th chapter, it should be understood that a lot of these things happened over the course of many years, continuing down to our time. Because this curse was pronounces upon us when Israel first became a nation, many of these curses occurred before our time and we don't recognize some of them, but some we do. Those we recognize are the ones that we will point out. The Lord said these curses will be upon us for a sign and wonder; (sign means to identify and wonder is to ask why).

See Deuteronomy 28, verses 28-30: "the Lord shall smite thee with madness", meaning you will be constantly angry because of the conditions; "blindness", having no knowledge of your history and self; "astonishment of heart", meaning always greatly surprised and amazed at your condition; "thou shalt grope at noonday as the blind gropeth in darkness", meaning to feel about or search or seek with blindness, and not certain or don't know what you are looking for (as if you were looking for something in a dark place and had no light); "thou shall not prosper in thy ways; and thou shall be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee; thou shall betroth a wife and another man shall lie with her; thou shall build a house and thou shall not dwell therein; thou shalt plant vineyards and shalt not gather the grapes thereof", meaning you work, but someone else will reap the proceeds; "thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people and thine eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand", meaning your children will be sold and you will see them being sold by someone else and will not be able to do anything about it (remember Roots and "Slave Trading"); "the fruit of thy land and all thy labors shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up: and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway.....thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see."

Now just look around you, and look back at what happened to black people and what is happening to black people. Now, are we getting a fair chance, or equal opportunity to excel as the whites or the so-called Jews? Why is it that the so-called Jews are granted immediate citizenship when they migrate from other parts of the world? Why is it that any other nationality or race of people is accepted into this country, granted citizenship, and is exempted from paying taxes for a set period of years? The latest, among the foreigners that were granted this luxury are the Cubans, which are mostly Castilian, but the Haitians from the island of Haiti, which are blacks (part of the lost tribes of Israel) were caged up like animals and sent back to their oppression.

Also, consider the poor blacks here, (being that the majority of us are worse off than a lot of immigrants), who were brought here against our will. Why aren't we exempted from paying taxes for the same period of years? Why aren't we compensated for now our ancestors were treated in the past? Have you ever wondered about these things? Surely you can't say it's because we are equally treated as the white American born citizens. Have you ever wondered why there are places like Haiti, Jamaica, South America and the Bahamas? Did you know that all of those places were slave camps, and that blacks were carried there to work and to produce while the whites reaped the proceeds! The Bible prophesied this concerning Israel/Jews Black Americans and blacks from the above mentioned slave camps must be Israelites then!

When slavery was abolished (chattel slavery), black people assumed self rule after their masters were forced to release them Either blacks did not know their real home, or did not have the means to return. If they did know, they did not have any army or the power to kick out the foreigners that possessed their land. See Deuteronomy 28: 36-37. "The Lord shall bring thee and thy king unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known and there shall thou serve other gods, wood and stone", (gods which are not backed up with the Bible, and holy days, such as Easter and Christmas, of which the Bible makes no mention as holy to God); And thou shalt become an astonishment" (a great surprise and amazement to other races of people around you); " a proverb" (a short wise saying used for a long time by many people, a well known case); In our case, we have been called for a long time, names such as nigger, coon, shine, john, boy, lazy, smelly, nasty, etc.; "and a byword " (an object of contempt, a thing scorned, and a common saying).

Now ask, are blacks scorned? Are we a common conversation, such as... Those niggers this, and those niggers that? Are we a people (objects) of contempt? Who cares for us or our rights? Who tries to help us without wanting to use us for their own personal gain/goal? What harm have we done to organizations such as the Ku-Klux-Klan, to any of the majority of whites, or to other nationalities for them to hate us so? Why are we disliked and scorned and in some cases assaulted for asking for the smallest civil rights that whites are born with, and foreigners are given, with help, when they migrate to this or any other country? It's a case of: if we do wrong we are damned, and if we do right we are damned. I thank God that I know the whole truth of the matter, and that there is an appointed end. Because if salvation was the way it's being taught in most churches, if I had no knowledge of God's true plan, and of this temporary curse that is upon the blacks (the real Israelites/Jew), then I could understand why some people stay drunk, take drugs, or use other means of trying to blind themselves to the reality of our true and unchangeable condition. In some cases, death would be more merciful.

Deuteronomy 28:41, Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shall not enjoy them, for they shall go into captivity" (slavery). (Vs.43), "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt come down very low"; (which is to say that all of the people that were among the Israelites, but not Israelites themselves, are going to excel while the Israelites fall to the bottom). "He shall lend to thee, (Vs.44), and thou shalt not lend to him; he shall be the head and thou shall be the tail". Now consider what this is saying. Can blacks as a people lend money to anyone? Where are our big corporations? Where are our big chain businesses? Where are our banks? Now consider the people called Jews, who the world has accepted as being Jews. Do they have big corporations, chain businesses, and banks?

For a people that are supposed to be poor and not able to loan money, those people that the world knows as Jews are doing pretty well. In fact, there used to be a household saying among black families on payday - "I got to go pay those Jews". Either these people are not the real Jew of the Bible, or the Bible is grossly misprinted. Consider the scriptures and judge for yourself.

As we continue, see Joel 3:1, "For behold, in those days and at that time when I shall bring again the captivity (captives) of Judah and Jerusalem (Israelites/Jews), (Vs.2) , I will also gather all nations, and bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my (land of Israel), (Vs.3), and they have cast lots for my people and given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink, (Vs. 4.) What have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coast of Palestine (Middle East)? Will you render me a recompense (pay me back/repay me)? And if you recompense (repay) me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head, (Vs. 5), Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things, (Vs. 6). The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem Israelites) have ye sold unto the Grecians (Greeks), that you might remove them far from their border".

In Joel 3:1-3, the Lord is speaking of the time when he will return the real Jews to their own Country. (Vs. 2) is saying that at the same time the Lord will gather all nations in one place to plead with them (do battle) because of what they have done to the real Jews- because they have captured and sold them (the real Jews), and the whole coast of Palestine/ Middle East have taken their possessions, and divided the Jews' land among themselves. In (Vs.3) and (Vs.4) the Lord is telling all of these nations that whatever they would repay him, it is not enough for what they have done to his people. Therefore, if they try to repay him, he will return it upon their own head. Why? Because the nations (all nations) have taken the real Jews and cast lots for them (bided for them/or auctioned them off like animals), and given a boy for an harlot (men traded or gave slave boys instead of money in payment to sleep with a prostitute), and sold a slave girl for wine (traded a young girl for some liquor). (Vs. 5) and 6. The nations have taken valuables and riches of the real Jews and carried them into their own temples, and have taken the Jews themselves and sold them to the sons of the Greeks, and to other nations, and removed them far from their own borders.

See Zechariah 11:4, "Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter, (Vs. 5), whose possessors slay them and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say, blessed be the Lord, for I am rich; and their own shepherds pity them not."

This scripture is very clear, and lets you know that whosoever owned the real Jews would kill them if they felt like it, and wouldn't think that they had done anything wrong (for instance: Kill an old slave that couldn't work anymore, or one that they thought was rebellious, or one whose will they could not break). Historically, the various hate groups didn't feel that they were wrong when they burned crosses in front of blacks' homes, hung them, or castrated and maimed them for sport. Even in these modern days, who cares if a young or old black is shot by a white person, or another black for that matter? Who cares how many black women get raped or how many blacks are killed by police officers? No real investigations are made to find the true criminal or the reason why. Just read the statistics and you will find that the highest mortality rate in the nation is among young Black males. Or look at the sympathy that Cubans and other non-black immigrants get when entering this country. Then look at the non-sympathetic help that Haitians (blacks) get when they are fleeing into this country to escape oppression and death. I could write page upon page concerning the guiltless feelings of people who kill blacks (so-called Negroes or African-Americans).

The scripture in Zechariah 11:5 states that their possessors (slave owners) sold them and thanked and blessed God because they became rich for doing so. Just look and consider the many nations and their histories. They all profess to be great "Christians" nations not only tolerated slave traders that packed black people in holes of ships (most of which died) en route to the market, but they also rushed to the market and cast their bid for the strongest and fittest that made it. Yes, as a slave trader, riches were dedicated by the amount he could buy. The majority of these people professed to be God-fearing Christians and probably sat in church every Sunday, yet none felt guilty (and this included America, England, France, Greece, Rome, and all so-called Christians and Moslem nations as well). Also, in the same 5th verse, it states that their (the real Jews) shepards pity them not. How is that so? Just look at all of the black churches in America and in other nations. They don't truly care about their own people! They fill their collection plates and treasuries with the hard-earned money of poor blacks, build larger and fancier churches so they can have more room and more "sheep" to fleece, and put on all kinds of programs (gimmicks) to increase their flow of money. Then they buy big cars to drive to their big churches to show their flocks how nice they have been to their shepherds. The flocks love it, and they increase their donations. The height or riches of a shepherd (preacher) are dedicated by the size of his congregation or church!

If their/our shepherds pitied us (the real Jews), they would consolidate some of that wealth that they acquired from their flocks, and build factories so that the black unemployment can be decreased or almost eliminated. They would sponsor housing developments so that blacks can move out of some of these rat and roach infested flop houses; or better yet, they (poor blacks) would be able to purchase homes with the income earned from church-created factories. Most of all, the pastors in these churches would teach the truth and stop telling people that God is coming to take you off to heaven, when God clearly states that he is coming to the earth (Zechariah 14:1-11, Revelation 5: 9-10, Revelation 21: 1-2). Even Jesus said clearly that no man has gone to heaven except he that came from heaven. He was speaking of himself (see St. John 3:13). Also, such un-truths as Jesus died on Friday and rose on Easter Sunday, and that Jesus was born on the 25th of December along with many other lies would cease to be taught if the shepherds cared. See Isaiah 56: 9-12, the Lord talks about these same shepherds that have no pity for their own people.

The Bible tells us that the Israelites (real Jews) would be incarcerated (in prison) in great numbers, see Isaiah 42:22-23, "But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, restore." Now ask yourself what people do you know that is a minority in the country but a majority in the penal institution (jail)? Even the Lord wanted to know who in the future would see this kind of condition and recognize that this is talking about the real Israelites (blacks). (Vs. 23), "who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?"

Read the book of Obadiah, and it will tell you how the Israelites (real Jews) were captured and carried out of the land of Israel as slaves (captives) and how the nations went in and parted the land among them. It clearly states that Edom, the descendants of Esau (those who currently claim to be Jews), caught those of the real Jews that did escape, and delivered them into the hands of the enemy. They also went into the gates of the Jews (cities) and laid hands on their substance (possessions, culture, books, etc.).

Also, see Ezekiel chapters 35-36, the Edomites (those who claim to be Jews), which are also known and called by the names of Mount Seir, Bozrah, Teman, and Idumea, are spoken against by the Lord. The Lord tells of how they shed the blood of the Israelites (Jews), and said, "These two nations and these two countries (speaking of Judah and Samaria) shall be theirs (Edom's) in possession, and they will possess it, whereas the Lord was there."

The 36th chapter of Ezekiel tells us that Edom has done just that! For the Lord said, "Thus said the Lord God, because the enemy has said, aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession." Read on and the Lord will tell you that they (Idumea, which is still Edom) have appointed his land (land of Israel) into their possession with the joy of all their heart, and with despiteful minds to cast it out for a prey.

But ask yourself, why do the people that the world has accepted as being the Jews, have such hard times, such as the trouble they had with Germany and the trouble with the Arab nations? Because of what they did to the real Jews, that's why! See Obadiah 9th and 10th verses and read on. Also, see Ezekiel 35:6-15. The Lord said "when the whole world rejoiceth", he will make Edom most desolate.

Lastly, I refer you to Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. The Lord, in both of these places speaks of a people that say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; but they are the Synagogue of Satan. Note that the Lord said also that he knows the work and the tribulations and poverty of the real Jews (but he said, “Thou art rich”). Reasoning tells us that no people, or person, can be rich and impoverished at the same time. But the riches of the people of God (the blacks-the real Jew) are his promise to lift the curse off of us in the time appointed, and to restore us to our former estate. Plus no one can say that the people known and accepted as Jews (the descendants of Edom) are in poverty; consider this publication closely and reason with the Bible whether or not it makes sense.

To those that read this, be it known and understood that this is not hate, neither does the writer teach or believe in hate, nor condone it. This is merely designed to identify the lost people of Israel and the facts according to the Holy Bible. If anyone is to be hated, it should be our ancestors for sinning against God, because he clearly told them what would happen if they broke his laws. Be it known also that we believe in, and teach, all of the Holy Bible: from Genesis to Revelation, and that we acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, and that He is God. Also, we only teach what we can prove (through scriptures).

What are you Created to Become?

2 Corinthians 3:10-18 (10) For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. (11) For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. (12) Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech? (13) unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. (14) But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. (15) But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. (16) Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (17) Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (18) But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The Revised English Bible renders it this way: Indeed, the glory that once was is now no glory at all; it is outshone by a still greater glory. For if what was to fade away had its glory, how much greater is the glory of what endures! With such a hope as this we speak out boldly; it is not for us to do as Moses did: he put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away. In any case their minds had become closed, for that same veil is there to this very day when the lesson is read from the old covenant; and it is never lifted, because only in Christ is it taken away. Indeed to this very day, every time the law of Moses is read, a veil lies over the mind of the hearer. But (as scripture says) "Whenever he turns to the Lord the veil is removed." Now the Lord of whom this passage speaks is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. And because for us there is no veil over the face, we all see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, and we are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory through the power of the Lord who is the Spirit. Do we understand this last verse? We are being transformed into the glory of His likeness! This passage is a comparison of the two covenants. This illustration may be helpful. When we see the full moon on a cloudless night, it is reflecting the glory of the sun. It is likely that the moon will reflect enough light that a person can see fairly clearly to make his way, even though it is nighttime. But once the sun is up, there is absolutely no comparison between the glory of the sun and the glory of the moon! As glorious as the moon looked, shining in its full glory during the dark of night, it is nothing at all compared to the full glory of the sun! This illustrates the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. The Old Covenant is the moon, bright enough to shine and containing enough reflective glory that, whenever Moses was in the presence of God, he came away with his face reflecting that glory. But that glory faded away! Soon, Moses' face was just like every other Israelite's face. Paul desires to help us understand the greatness, the magnitude, of the difference between the New Covenant and the Old Covenant! The Old Covenant had a glory, but it was a fading one! God never intended it to last! But the New Covenant is so exceedingly great—it is like the difference between the sun in all of its strength and the moon! The glory of the sun does not fade away! We need to look at some differences. Under the Old Covenant, Moses reflected the glory of God. That was wonderful, but it was external, temporary. It faded. Under the New Covenant, it is not just one person reflecting the glory of God but all Christians! It is not displayed outwardly on the face, but inwardly in their nature and character. It is a progressive transformation that increases until the Christian's character is transformed to be like the Lord's glorious character! And at the resurrection, his body will changed to conform to Christ's (I John 3:2). Man's potential not to be a greater man. He is not going to be an angel. He is going to be God! That is the image into which those of us having the Spirit of God are being transformed! For the Christian, it is the image of God after which he is being created—what we are going through this process for! We are moving through this process—through the creative power of God and our own choices—from the glory of man to the glory of God! What does God create in this process? We understand that His purpose in creating is to create the character of God in us. But how is this done? What does God create that produces the character? (Character is actually the fruit of what God creates.) God creates circumstances in which we receive the experience of being confronted with choices according to the will of God. He wants us to learn to react according to His will, according to His law. He wants us to experience, analyze, gain knowledge, deduce, understand, and finally decide to do the right thing. He puts us in circumstances to force the issue—to make us choose. God's spiritual creation is still going on! http://thehouseofisrael.net/Donation.aspx

What id God's name?
WHAT IS GOD'S NAME

WHAT IS GOD'S NAME?

When a child is born in this world one of the fist things we do is give this new life a name. Some name the child after their father, grandparents or even someone they may admire. Many parents give their child a name simply because it just sounds good to them. If you take a look at names in the bible we find that most have very special significance and meaning. A person’s name described something about them. "And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. (Genesis 3:20). In the Hebrew language, Eve means "living one." In Genesis 17:5, the Lord gave Abram the name of Abraham; "Neither shall thy name any more called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee." Abraham means "father of many nations" or father of a multitude.

Certain traits or characteristics are often suggested in a name, like Esau ("hairy"). There are even names that refer back to the Godhead. With God being translated from the Hebrew word Elohim, we find many names throughout the bible with "el" in them (the abbreviated form of Elohim) Daniel - god is my judge, Ezekiel – God will strengthen, Ishmael - God will hear, and Emmanuel – God with us, are just a few examples. Names were, and still are assigned, either at birth, or at the circumcision on the 8th day, as in the case of Isaac (Gen. 2:14).

But what about God’s name? How do we address the creator of all things? "Who hath established all the ends of the earth? "What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?" (Proverbs 30:4) some groups call him Jehovah, Jah, Yahweh, Lord, that great spirit in the sky, and many say God is only known as he reveals himself. If anything can be said what is god’s name surly the bible can tell us.

According to bible scriptures, Jesus is the Father’s name, for Jesus said in John 5:43 that he comes "in his father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." Therefore
"Jesus is the name of the Father! In fact, while praying to the Father in John 17:6, Jesus stated "I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me…" Also at John 17:25-26, Jesus stated, "O, righteous
father, the world hath not known thee…and I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it."

Another important name to address is Jehovah (or Yahweh). Exodus 6:2-3 mentions god’s name as Jehovah. It stated that God appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the name of God almighty (El Shadday in Hebrew), but by his name Jehovah he was not known to them. The Hebrew characters translated here as Jehovah are the same ones found at Exodus 3:15 for "The Lord." But wait a minute! Can this really be Jesus name before he was given the name Jesus by the Father? It most definitely is. Isaiah 12:2 states, "…for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song: He also is become my Saviour! (See St. John 4:42, and Philippians 3:20). Since the Bible cannot contradict itself, Jesus Christ and Jehovah are the same. In the Old testament he is called Jehovah, in the new testament he is called Jesus.

Jesus is the God who instructed Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and all of the prophets. Concerning Moses and the children of Israel in the wilderness, the bible says this "for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them: and that rock was Christ." (1 Corinthians 1-4) Jesus even said "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I (meaning Jesus) have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Matthew 23:37) Even at St. John 1:18 it states, "No man has seen god at anytime; the only begotten Son, which is I the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." So if no one has seen the Father at any time, that means Moses and the elders of Israel saw Jesus (Jehovah) in Exodus 24:9-11. Jesus also states before Abraham was born, some time in 1800 B.C. Jesus was there. This is what Jesus said to a group of Jews of his day "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see
my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself,…" (John 8:56-59) These examples clearly show Jesus existed a long time before his birth thru Mary, when he walked the earth as a man.

Another thing worthy of mention is the name Lord, as it relates to Jehovah. In Exodus 3:13-15, Moses asked god what should he tell the children of Israel when they ask what is the name of the God of their fathers. God replied, "I AM THAT I AM." This quote is translated from the Hebrew words EHEYE ASHER EHEYE. Asher is a relative pronoun equivalent to the word "that". Eheye is a 1st person conjunction of the Hebrew verb hayah which means "to be, to exist, to become." Hence, we have a presence – one who exists eternally, one who is. "God said
moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, THE LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you; this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."

In most cases (not all) in the Old testament, the name Lord was translated from the Hebrew word adonay (or ashonai) which means "Sovereign Lord." Afraid of pronouncing God’s name, the custom arose where one would replace God’s name with adonay when speaking of it. This custom carried over into the written translations of the bible. The actual word for "The Lord" corresponds to the Hebrew characters yod, he, waw, which are equivalent to the letters Y H W H. These letters are known as the Tetragrammaton. In English it is sometimes written as J H W H. when Hebrew was originally written down, only consonants were recorded, not vowels. Despite this fact, most scholars agree to one of two original pronunciations of the tetragrammaton YAHWEH or YAHOWAH (or
YEHOWAH) When we replace the Y and W in Yehowah with their English equivalent J and V, we get the name Jehovah, which is used in English translations of the Bible.

Now that we know the meaning of Yahweh (Jehovah), some people may still insist that we should call upon Yahweh (Jehovah). But that same Yahweh (Jehovah), when he "took on him the seed of Abraham." And was given the name Jesus, told us at Matthew 6:9, "After this manner, therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name." Also, at St. John 17:11, Jesus stated, "…Keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me." Even at Revelation 14:1 it states, "And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads" will be Jesus, because he came in his Fathers name. See John 5:43.

Maybe some are not yet convinced that Yahweh (Jehovah) is the Son’s name and not the Father’s. In Psalms 118:14, 21-22, we can read "The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation…I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner." The stone which is become the head of the corner is Jesus Christ! "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." That name is
Jesus. (Acts 4 verses 10-12)

Jesus is the only name given for salvation. Why? Because Jesus is the Father’s name: (Philippians 2:9-11) "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things undre the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus christ Is Lord, to the glory of God the Father!
