WAS YAHSHUA A JEW?

In the past we have proven that Yahshua was not a Jew by religion. The Jews based their religion on the Babylonian Talmud, which was at that time called the tradition of the elders. Yahshua’s whole ministry was one constant battle against the evils of Judaism. We have learned that Yahshua was a true Israelites of the tribe of Judah, by race.

We have also learned that [many of] the Jews [sic Judaeans] of Yahshua’s time included mongrel descendants of Shelah, the mongrel mixed multitude which followed the Israelites out of Egypt. This mixed multitude consisted of the various Canaanite people in Palestine, including the Jebusites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites and the Amonites. Now do you understand why Yahshua said that He was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel? In John 10:14, 26-27 Yahshua tells the Jews, “I ... know My sheep, and they know Me ... But ye believe not because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you, My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

The tiny remnant which came back to Palestine from the Babylonian captivity, did include a few descendants of true Judah, Benjamin and a smattering of Levites, and these were Yahshua’s sheep. He said He knew them, they knew Him and they followed Him. All those in Palestine who became Christians were true members of the tribes of Judah or Benjamin. The [bad-fig-]Jews weren’t [pure] members of any of the tribes of Israel, for Yahshua said they were not of His sheep.

Now we know who it was who constituted the [bad-fig-]Jews in Yahshua’s time. If you want to bring it up to date, and find out who the Jews are in our own day, we must add one more racial element. Of course the Jews of Yahshua’s day are among them, but there is another element, the Khazars.

Meanwhile, we must return to the Jews of Palestine. As you know, by 68 A.D. the Romans had found the rascality of the Palestinian Jews so intolerable, they began the campaign which resulted in the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The Jews were then expelled from Palestine. Most of them migrated in large numbers to what was then called Byzantium, later called Constantinople and today is known as Istanbul. This faces the Bosphorus which is the outlet of the Black Sea. Here the [bad-fig-]Jews again demonstrated the truth of the Bible’s lessons, that conduct is the product of character. As Yahshua said to these Jews, “Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do.” By about the year 300 A.D., the Jews’ rascality had again become so intolerable that they were expelled again. After being expelled from Byzantium, the people that are called Jews today, moved northeast into the Khazar kingdom.

About the year 150 A.D. the Khazars, an Asiatic people related to the Turks, migrated westward from central Asia and established a great empire. This empire covered what is today southwestern Russia, north of the Aral Sea, Caspian Sea, and the Black Sea, including the Don and Dnieper valleys and the Crimea.

About 740 A.D. Bulan the Kagan, or king of the Khazars, was converted to the religion of Judaism, together with some 4,000 of the most powerful nobility of the kingdom. In those days, it wasn’t healthful for a subject to be in religious conflict with that of the king or with the baron on whose land he lived. In due course, most of the Khazars became Jews by religion. In fact, it became part of the kingdom’s constitution that no one but a Jew by religion, could be king. The principle languages spoken were Khazar, called Yiddish today, and Turkish.

During the great invasion by the Mongols under Genghis Khan, many of the Judaized Khazars were dispersed into what is now Poland and Lithuania. These Khazars constitute the Slavic Jews of today, those with names such as Minsky, Baranov and Moscowitz, the latter often shortened to Mosk.

Since much of the western part of this area has been at one time or another ruled by Austrian or Germanic people who brought in their own language, these Khazars also took Germanic names such as Gold or Goldberg, Rosenberg, Eisler and so forth. If you wonder how they can be so much like the other Jews, historical documents written at the time of the Khazar empire, which was at its greatest height, refer to their tradition that their ancestors originally came from the region of Mount Seir which is Edom, the home of the Edomite Jews.

If you wish to look up further details, you will find brief articles on the Khazars in various encyclopedias such as the Britannica, the Jewish encyclopedia has six pages on this subject. In some places it is spelled Khazar and in others Chazar and there are even other variations: It is also discussed in A History of the Jews by Solomon Grayzel, and A History of the Jews by Prof. H. Graetz. Both of these books are published by the Jewish Publication Society of America.

The most thorough discussion of the whole problem is found in that magnificent historical research, The Iron Curtain Over America by Col. John Beatty. Col. Beatty is an historian and professor of history, his works are used as text books in more than 700 colleges and universities. Iron Curtain Over America is one of the most thoroughly documented and accurate works ever put in print. It is well worth the price you have to pay, it should be in the library of every patriotic American and good Christian.

Perhaps you are wondering why the Bible sometimes speaks well of the Jews. For instance Paul saying that he was a Jew of Tarsus. If you will look up these few instances in a good concordance, such as Strong’s, you will find that each instance the translators had written Jew in English, where it wasn’t used in the original Greek, the word used was loudaios, which doesn’t mean Jew, but means a Judean. A Judean is a person whose home is in the land of Judea or southern Palestine. It has no religious connotation and it hasn’t any racial connotation either. It is purely a geographic term, such as Californian.

A Californian could be white, black, brown or yellow by race. He could be Christian, Jew, Buddhist or atheist. So a loudaious was merely a person who lived in Judea where, as we saw, there were quite a few Israelites of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin. There were far more Canaanite Jews and also a general mixture of Romans, Greeks, Syrians, Egyptians, etc.

It is true that Christian salvation was first offered in the land of Judea. Hence, to those who were living there, the loudios, and later, as the apostles traveled from city to city, it was soon offered to the Greeks. Salvation was never offered to the Jews as a preferred class, for you will remember that Yahshua taught only hard to understand parables when there were Jews around. Yahshua, afterwards and in private, explained the parables to His disciples.

Yahshua explained privately, that He spoke among the Jews only in parables “lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” Both Matthew 13:10-15 and Mark 4:10-12 record this. Yahshua was taking great pains to see that the Jews couldn’t understand His teachings and be converted. He was preaching only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. These were the members of the [pure] tribes of Judah and Benjamin, which He said were His sheep, who knew His voice and followed Him. Yahshua rejected the [bad-fig-]Jews as the children of their father the devil.

Now to sum it up, the [bad-fig-]Jews are not and never were, any part of any tribe of Israel. They include various mixtures of Egyptians, Babylonians, Canaanites, Edomites, and Khazars. Yahshua was a pure blooded Israelite of the tribe of Judah, without any Jewish ancestry, He was not a Jew by religion either.

Think this over carefully. The group of nations which we loosely group under the term Anglo-Saxon, includes the people of the British Isles, the Scandinavian countries, nearly all of Germany, Holland, and some few of the people of France and Belgium. Also included are the closely related people found in Austria, some of the Swiss, Czechs, some of the Hungarians, North Italians and Spanish. Also included are the descendants of these people now living in the United States, Canada, Australia and South Africa. All these people are the living descendants of the people named Israel of the Bible. We are blood brothers of our Savior, Yahshua.

Critical note by Clifton A. Emahiser: I will add to Comparet’s remarks on the subject the following from my brochure Steven M. Collins’ Pretzel Factory, #3:

The Khazar kingdom accepted the religion of Judaism under king Bulan in 740 A.D. Upon doing so, they brought in Sephardic Rabbis from Babylon and the race-mixing began between the Cain-Satanic-Jews and the Khazars infusing them with the Satanic bloodline, which they probably already previously had. In 960 A.D. the Khazar Jews made contact with the Sephardic Jews in Spain and more race-mixing between the two branches of Jewry ensued, further spreading the Satanic bloodline. From 720 A.D. until today has given the “Jews” of Ashkenazim and Sephardim 1,270 plus years to completely mix the Cain Satanic blood among them.

For documentation we will consult the Concise Bible Commentary by W. K. Lowther Clarke who has some insight on the Hittite connection with the Jews on pages 24-25:

“HITTITES. – A people which by 1600 [B.C.] formed a powerful State centered in eastern Asia Minor. Representations on the monuments show them to have been of a strongly ‘Armenoid’ type; the Jew of today resembles the ancient Hittites ... Khatti, as the Hittite kingdom was called, penetrated as far as Babylon c. 1550; also into N. Syria. In 1370 it conquered Mitanni, the N. Mesopotamian kingdom, and for a long period faced the Egyptian empire in central and southern Syria. In the 14th and 13th centuries Khatti probably profited by the weakness of Egypt and pushed into Palestine. About 1200 the Hittite empire collapsed before the attacks of invaders from the north, though Hittite States seem to have continued in the Carchemish district. Hittites occur regularly among the lists of nations to be driven out from Palestine. ... Also we may suppose that pockets of genuine Hittites created by the great expansion of their empire remained where they were when it collapsed and were eventually absorbed into the population of Syria and Palestine. Cp. Ezek. 16:3, ‘thy mother was an Hittite’ (of Jerusalem). It is permissible to hold that the sturdy Anatolian stock from Asia Minor contributed to the formation of the tenacious Jewish race.” [emphasis mine]

YAHWEH’S RIGHTEOUS REMNANT

by Bertrand L. Comparet

Taken From Your Heritage

Plus Critical Notes

What constitutes a righteous nation? Surely, a nation is a sum total of its people, what they are, what they do. Then what makes them sufficiently righteous to influence their nation’s character, how many does it take for this purpose? Where do we, in the United States, stand as measured on this scale?

Never at any time, has there been a nation composed entirely of righteous people, not even Yahweh’s own people Israel. Even during the exodus, when the people had witnessed many miracles by the hand of Yahweh, and they saw His presence in the pillar of cloud and fire every day, the great mass of the people were either actively or passively unrighteous. While Moses was on Mt. Sinai, receiving the laws of Yahweh, part of the nation of Israel was actively wicked, demanding that Aaron make them an idol god, the golden calf. Most of the nation passively followed them into wickedness, only Moses and the tribe of Levi remained faithful to Yahweh.

So it is and always has been, the people are divided into three classes. The few good people, who are Yahweh’s righteous remnant, the somewhat larger group who are especially evil, and the huge middle group, neither very good nor especially evil. The especially evil group would completely and permanently ruin and destroy the whole nation, if they were allowed to live very long. Therefore Yahweh has had to wipe them out many times, in order to save anything of the nation. Remember the heavy loss of life on many occasions.

There were many lives lost on the exodus, the repeated wars with the Philistines, the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah etc. There was no point in trying to save them by conversion, they weren’t capable of it. Preaching to a scorpion never accomplishes anything.

The large middle group, never able to be actively good only followers of evil, not originators of it, has always constituted the great bulk of the nation. Since they never rise to the greatness of true goodness, and periodically lapse into all kinds of evil, why has Yahweh kept them in existence? Only because without them there would not be a nation.

Remember, all of Yahweh’s promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David were that Israel would be a nation before Him forever. The promise never was that there would be only a few righteous people among their descendants. The promise was that there would be a great nation and a company of nations. Although incapable of good in itself, the nation could be Yahweh’s servant under the leadership of Yahweh’s righteous remnant. In Isaiah 1:9 we are told, “Except Yahweh had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah.” In Genesis 18:26-32 Yahweh revealed to Abraham that even a small righteous remnant in Sodom, even as few as ten persons, could have saved it.

In Old Testament times, this righteous remnant was singled out for special service to Yahweh. In the Hebrew language, they were called the qahal. This word means those selected and called out from among the mass of the nation. They included the priests, both Aaronic and Levitical, and the heads of the tribes. It was their job to see that the whole nation was guided into the paths of righteousness, so clearly marked out by the prophets. When they would and could do this, the nation reached the heights of civilization and prosperity.

About this time, some are wondering how could the remnant save the nation, when the remnant was also so imperfect? Psalm 14:2-3 says, “Yahweh looked down from heaven upon the children of men (Awdawn), to see if there were any that did understand and seek Yahweh. They are all gone aside, they are all together to become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” Paul quotes this in Romans 3:10-12.

Yet Yahweh has always found a way to use His remnant for His own purposes. Eve wasn’t sinless, yet in Genesis 3:15 Yahweh declared that the Redeemer would be one of her descendants. Abel was presumably as sinful as other men, yet we are told in Hebrews 11:4, “By faith Abel offered unto Yahweh a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, Yahweh testifying of his gifts; and by it, being dead, he yet speaketh.”

While he was comparatively good, as men go, Noah must have had his share of human faults. We are told in Hebrews 11:7, “By faith, Noah, being warned of Yahweh of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”Romans 4:3 says, “For what saith the scriptures: Abraham believed Yahweh, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” Abraham also had his sins, but

This was Yahweh’s plan from the beginning. He knew that even the best of His people would not be able to achieve righteousness by man’s own goodness. So, Yahweh prepared to give them His own righteousness. In Isaiah 54:17every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is of Me, saith Yahweh.” Yahweh promises, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;

This is the very essence of Christianity! All men have sinned, even the remnant, and have justly earned the penalty of death. However, Yahweh has paid that penalty for us in the death of Yahshua upon the cross. If we believe Yahweh in this, He imputes to us the perfect righteousness of Yahshua. “Their righteousness is of Me.” The great mass of people never attain even this, only a remnant ever did or ever will.

Isaiah 10:20-23 records, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness. For Yahweh shall make a destruction, even determined, in the midst of all the land.”

During most of the Old Testament times, the nation of Israel was nominally faithful to Yahweh. Yet at all times there were some apostates among them. Several times almost the entire nation lapsed into idolatry.

In New Testament times, the Christian nations have been nominally Christian. However, at all times there were relatively few who truly understood their religion and were more than nominal Christians. Today the churches are becoming only social service organizations. They are forgetting Yahweh and His laws while they concentrate all their attention and efforts on social agendas, such as slums and integration of the races. There is not much left of Christianity but only the name, empty of all that it originally contained, as shown in the Bible. This “churchianity” can never save even its own followers.

However, there has always been Yahweh’s righteous remnant in the nation. For the sake of the remnant, Yahweh has spared the nation. So it has always been, and so it always will be.

Romans 11:7 tells us, “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.”

As always before, there exists in the nation the group of actively evil people, like a cancer, which must be cut out and destroyed. The greater mass of the people, who have been led astray by the evil ones, must be severely disciplined. Therefore the days that are coming soon, will bring terrific destruction and loss of life. There is also the righteous remnant, for whose sake Yahweh has always spared His people Israel, from complete destruction. For whose sake Yahweh will spare it now.

Critical note by Clifton A. Emahsier: In his Be Comforted, Warren W. Wiersbe said in part on Isaiah 2:1–4:6:

“How will God judge His people? By taking away from them everything they were trusting, including food and water, leaders and soldiers, and judges and prophets (3:1–15) The entire support system of the nation would disintegrate, and there would be no remedy. Nobody would want to hold office except women and children. (In Judah’s male-dominated society, this would be a humiliating calamity.) The national leaders in Isaiah’s day were charting a course that was out of the will of God and would ultimately bring disaster, but the righteous remnant would be protected by God (vv. 10–12).

“After denouncing the men in leadership, the prophet zeroed in on the proud women who profited from their husbands’ crimes (3:16–4:1). The Prophet Amos had a similar message for the women in the Northern Kingdom (Amos 4:1–3). Everything would be different for these women when the judgment of God came to the land! In that day, nobody would notice their expensive clothes, their jewelry and perfumes, and their elaborate coiffures. They would be prisoners of war, led by a rope, like cattle going to the slaughter. So many men will be killed there won’t be enough husbands to go around! (4:1)”

If the righteous remnant of Judahites were protected in Isaiah’s day, so too, will the righteous remnant be in America during such a similar coming disaster!
