Genesis seems to indicate that the Phillistines were Hamitic, related to Egyptians and other Africans - definitely not Semites.
It seems neither modern scholarship nor the Bible identifies them as racial Semites, although intermarriage and the adoption of others' cultural norms cloud these kinds of isssues.
What is the name of the book in post 77. I can't read it.
Very interesting, worth reading - ping!
Greetings AiI:
I've been traveling the backroads and mountains the past few days trying to unwind and catch my breath before resuming the rat race for another marathon stretch. Sorry I haven't responded before this. I greatly appreciate your willingness to post this writing and look forward today to reading it and contemplating your perspective. I will respond further later after I've absorbed it. Stay well and stay safe brother as biblically historical things are happening around you over there, especially in Gaza.
Bttt! For later study.
Thanks Quix. Note to self, put

MARKER.
I find it interesting that you can write an article like this when you do not have a good understanding of the Bible at all. I suggest you read it again.
The Jews are not God's 'heirs' as is assumed and over 80% of the so-called Jews in Israel are not even Jewish blood from Europe. I suggest you look into the Zionist movement and its inception and their historical background firstly.
The land was taken from the Jews as God forewarned and thus Babylon controlled them. When did you see that Israel controlled their own country after that 72 years? Never. And these so-called ones in Israel are NOT Jews. Read Revelation 2:8 and again 3:8.
I agree with your point of views about USA as it relates to prophecy and this is why most Americans always say "I don't see where the USA fits into prophecy" This is because the prognosis is not good for America.
You may be a journalist and cannot be expected to know all but there are many things which have been kept hidden and God is now allowing these things to come out of the darkness where they were created and if a person wants to know the TRUTH bad enough they WILL find it.
Paul wrote in the letter to the Galatians that there is neither Jew nor Gentile and if you still believe that the Jews are His chosen people then you are greatly deceived as is most of the world. Those who choose Christ are his and none other. Those who believe in this Jew/Christianity are actually Christian Zionists.

just a few sites to ponder
I am not a hater of Jews (as in real ones, I am part myself). I have no respect for those who call themselves Jews and are not but are liars. Even Orthodox Jews do not approve of the nation of Israel.
You also have a flagrant disregard for Arabs (especially Palestinians) and God loves them too. 40% of Palestinians are Christian also and they are OUR brothers just the same as any nationality of people who are Christian.
I suggest you go to God and ask Him for extreme guidance because He has shown me so many things and if you are in a position of impressioning the world with your 'word' then make sure you understand His Word.

Excuse me, but Read Romans 11 and get back to me on the Jew thing.
As for my regard for Palestinians, they are a political party dedicated to terrorism, not a people. Arabs I like, Muslims I hate and for good reason. It is not that I have "a flagrant disregard" for Palestinians, I am quite interested in them. I think we should declare war on them for killing 50 Americans and a thousand Jews and blow them off the face of the earth.
Seriously read Romans 10 and 11, it directly addresses your concerns.
(I check the comments on this article every once in a while to keep track of you, buddy. How's life there living at ground zero in contemporary Jewish and human history? 
)
Yes. Israel has a King! I'm waiting to see what He does.
You are trying to pick the lock. The Lord has revealed the meaning of Isaiah 14 some time ago. It's a spiritual meaning that is veiled beneath the literal sense. You cannot try to match names of places and peoples from the Word to some contemporary equilvent -- that is using sensory knowledges to pervert Divine truths.

Let's talk about hate. The poison associated with snakes in the Word means hatred. Isa. 14:19 -- 'Serpents root' means sensory evidence and factual knowledge, 'adder' evil that is the outcome arising from these, 'flying prester' desire from self-love.
You should take a hard look at Isaiah 14 and apply it to yourself.
Done.
Sorry I missed it earlier. May have been when my keyboard was out and I wasn't paying close enough attention.
Thanks.
