I ran into some posters on another board who said Jesus wasn't Jewish because the bible clearly says he was a Hebrew. When I told some friends about it expecting them to be shocked they instead showed a site for the "Jesus was not Jewish" crowd that claimed the original Hebrews were white and that they became the Christians and founded Britain. Then, they claim, the dark skinned Jews snuck into Israel and stole the name "Hebrew

Part of what they said is true but not all. Jesus was Jewish. He was of the tribe of Judah and Levi, which made Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords - He was of the King line, Judah, and the Priest line, Levi.

All 12 tribes are Hebrew. Only the tribe of Judah are Jews. 10 of the tribes split from Judah and Benjamine long before the birth of Christ. They were taken into captivity and eventually migrated over the Caucus Mountains and settled Europe then later England and America. They are referred to as the 10 lost tribes.

Many don't make a distinction between the House of Judah and the House of Israel (the house of Israel are the 10 lost tribes). They are referred to as such in the Bible and it would be difficult to understand prophecy if we didn't realize the difference. The Nation of Israel wasn't founded until 1948 and that is not who the Bible speaks of when it references Israel in prophecy.

The children of Abraham are a chosen people but "only through Isaac is the seed called". Remember Abraham also had a son, Ishmael, with Hagar, the Egyptian maid of Abraham's wife Sarah.

Through Ishmael are the Arab nations of today. In Gen.16:12 God told Hagar what her son would be like, and it holds to this day:

And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Isn't it amazing to read God's Word from the beginning and see it coming true today?

Upon closer reading, Ishmael was conceived by Abram
with man's will and planning, but later Elohim changed
Abram's name by inserting the breath of Elohim into
his name by adding a Hey at the end.
Elohim also changed Sarai's name to Sarah by breathing
the breath of Elohim in to her and causing her to conceive Isaac.
