FOR FAIR USE AND EDUCATION AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES



In researching the history of "Israel" and their integration with all other races of the earth, this statement from Daniel 2:43 came to mind:

"And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay."

Somehow, I never looked at this verse as "racial mixing"...but then, God sometimes makes us work for our correct interpretation. See Prov.25:2.

Then, there is that verse in Ezra 9:2..."For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the HOLY SEED have MINGLED THEMSELVES with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass."

It was God's command that the people of Israel (followers of God), and the priests, and the Levites, were to SEPARATE themselves from the people of other lands...the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. See Ezra 9:1.

But, they failed to obey...then the mixtures of bloodlines had disastrous results.....

[MISCEGENATION = MIXING RACES THROUGH INTERBREEDING]

Piece of link article:


The law against miscegenation in Deut. 7:1-3 is made racial in context with verse 6 “above all people”, and is what Judah disobeyed during their captivity. The evidence of an alien admixture to their racial stock was sufficient enough to change their physiognomy, as indicated in Isaiah 3:9, “The show of their countenance doth witness against them.” They no longer had the beautiful countenance of King David, “goodly to look to” (I Sam. 16:12). Quite frankly, they were ugly b*stards, and the trespass was most commonly violated by its leaders (Is. 3:12 and Ezra 9:2). Is there anything new under the sun? The number of race mixing politicians today is epidemic. I am not aware of any who have been exposed for incest. And so we have these types and shadows in the Bible that call our attention to a pattern of violations.

We will miss the principle of something, if our etymology is too rigid as to be brittle. This is significant in a prophetic sense. Our study of the Word is especially tedious with a surplus of tenuous Bible versions, concordances, lexicons and commentaries; most of which I take with a grain of salt, in order to stay on course. If God caused Israel to be ‘lost sheep’ and 200,000 Judahites got lost with them, we can expect that both will be eventually found. Also keep in mind that not all Judahites were race mixers in Babylon. These were the good figs of Jeremiah 24, along with their brethren in the diaspora who would accept Christ and bring forth fruit.
