Why ignore the other 11 tribes? You NEED to study Genesis 49.. Jacob names each son and foretells what would befall then in the last days..
Interesting. However Christians have been at least as much of a scourge to each other as they have been to the Jews. The history of this world is one of continual conflict with brief periods of what can be charitably be called peace. Nothing is to be gained from Jews and Christians digging up old wounds. Yet it continues.
Hang together or hang separately.

Pastor, you’re Hebrew-wording us to death ;) Baruch Hashem! I see your mind is taking it all in. :)
I want to expand on how second-rate it is to learn the Hebrew Bible in English. We just read Genesis 1:1 in synagogues world-wide, every observant Jew (and even the non-observant who go with the motions anyway but sadly do not yet believe in the divinity of the Torah) for the 3,332nd time since Sinai— as I posted before, Jews count. We just read In the beginning G-d created... That English is a modernization of the old English, translated from Latin, and from Greek.
However you all to a man and woman read the first word wrong.
In Hebrew it is BiRaYSHiT bara Elokim et ha shamayim v’et haaretz. But the very first word is not “In the beginning” it is “In the beginning OF” The T consonant at the end demands a noun comes next. Instead we get “bara” [3rd person past tense ‘created’]
In the beginning OF [OF WHAT!] G-d created the heaven and the earth.
Without even the explanation, what I want to bring out is you don’t even know there is a problem. There are thousands of such “mistakes” of course. They’d all have a squiggly red, blue, or green line for a spelling, context, or grammatical suggestion. Does G-d not speak the Holy Tongue good? (that’s a joke...”well” is what I meant.)???
No, these are the clues that G-d inserted into the Torah and we know them because A) We understand Hebrew, and B) they were explained by Moses and the sages (who sit in Moses’ seat) and they have oceans and oceans of depth in explanation— and you don’t even know there is a question.
There are other points of this recent post of yours that deserve answers (though you are looking for JESUS! as the answer to all) but as I said, you don’t even know the questions.
I’ll try to get to more, but I wanted everyone to see the tradition for itself. Here is a boy of 6 learning to read the Holy Tongue. He’ll eventually understand what he’s reading (English is his mother language) but when he understands Hebrew grammar in 4 years, he will have the question on BiRaYSHiT and he will be taught the same answers given for 3,332.

Let’s be precise - the “Jews” split into
1. the Jesus-movement Jews who became known as Christians
2. the Pharisee Jews who took on the sole title of “Jews”.
The Jesus-movement Jews triumphed over the gentiles by 378 AD and the mountain that is the Jesus-movement has covered the whole earth
It just goes to show there are those so blind they cannot see . . . and I don't mean that "awful" Rabbinic Judaism.
