Hi, Gerlinda, I just finished reading Pastor Eli James' writing, "The Holy Blood in Prophecy". I see Steven posted this several times on the site, having bumped it several times this last July. I request that it be bumped again. Pastor Eli James wrote and published an entire book on this subject, so has studied this subject at great length. He appears to have been motivated to do so upon his finding of Ron Wyatt's discovery of the Ark of the Covenant, and of his discovery of Yahusha's blood having dripped down upon the Mercy Seat, the Place of Propitiation. That it was His blood was later confirmed by an examination of the DNA, which has only the 23 chromosomes of Mary, and a Y chromosome, as opposed to the usual complement of 46 chromosomes.

Interestingly, later on the article, he gives credit to Pastor Mark Downey for his discovery that the Two Sticks prophecy has been fulfilled. One stick is Ephraim from the tribe of Joseph which has become many nations as prophesied in Genesis 49:10. The other stick is that of the tribe of Judah. Pastor Downey discovered that these two sticks, Ephraim and Judah, has become one nation, and which the New JerUSAlem, that is, the United States of America, which is comprised of those gathered from many nations when the American Declaration of Independence was signed in July 4, 1776. Thus Pastor Eli James has provided us with a most excellent account of the restoration of True Israel.

I believe this restoration ties in with the coming Wedding Feast of the Lamb for His chosen Bride and her guests which shall take place at His Second Coming. This is His promised gathering together of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and those who are the guests at the wedding. These guests are of those nations (translated as Gentiles), as prophesied by the Apostle Paul, that is, those who are born again and are grafted into the Olive Tree, which is Yahusha HaMeshiach, Romans 11:11-32, whereby we are One with Him at the time of this new birth if we continue in the faith.

Thank You Gloria, I have bumped it up and would also like to include this excellent study provided by Pastor Bertrand L. Comparet called HISTORIC PROOF OF ISRAEL’S MIGRATIONS. I have included only this short portion to introduce the subject of Israel. It is such a confusing subject which has caused people to lump them altogether as "Jews", which we know is not correct. Neither is the term "Zionist" correct and most certainly should not that term "Christian Zionist' be used by Believers to refer to themselves when they support the Nation of Israel.

On the migration of the Israelites covered about 12 centuries, during which time they were mentioned by various historians, writing in different languages, during different centuries so therefore they are mentioned under different names. Even today, if you were to read a London newspaper, a Paris newspaper and a Berlin newspaper, all dated about the end of 1940, you would find that the British newspaper said that in that year France was invaded by the Germans. The French newspaper said that the invasion was by Les Allemans and the German newspaper said that the invasion was by der Deutsch. Yet, all three were talking about the same people and the same invasion. We must not be surprised to find the Israelites were given different names in the Assyrian, Greek and Latin languages. Even in the same language names change from century to century, just as today we never speak of Bohemia, as it was called a century ago, but only of Czechoslovakia.

Remember, the original 12 tribed nation of Israel broke up into two nations upon the death of King Solomon, about 975 B.C.. The northern 2/3rds of the land, containing the ten tribes, kept the name Israel, while the southern 1/3rd, containing the tribes of Benjamin and Judah, with many of the Levites, took the name of Judah after the royal tribe. From that time on, they kept their separate existence until they were finally merged into a vast migration, as we will see. Most of the kings of the 10 tribed northern kingdom of Israel were distinguished more for their wickedness than for any ability. However Omri, who reigned from 885 B.C. To 874 B.C., was a vigorous and able king. Although as wicked as the others his reign was considered, among the other nations of western Asia, as the foundation upon which the national identity thereafter rested. The language of that day spoke of a family, a tribe, or even a whole nation as a house or household. If you have read your Bible much, you must surely remember Yahweh’s many references to the house of Israel or the kingdom of Judah. The phrase was also used in those days to refer to a nation as the house of a great king who ruled it. The Assyrians among others, began calling the 10 tribed kingdom of Israel, the house of Omri. In Hebrew, house was babyith or bayth, in English it was usually spelled Beth and pronounced Beth. In the related Semitic languages of Assyrian, this was bit. The Hebrew Omri, was in Assyrian sometimes written Humari, sometimes Kumri.
