And the pace is picking up.
I think that’s one reason that the 3 front runners on all sides are traitorous globalist stooges—2 of the very worst order and the 3rd not that far behind.
I’d love to see some maps of early migrations. Saw some once . . .
And current maps of DNA mapping.
I suspect Nat Geo has more than they are revealing.
Are these guys the same Herbert Armstrong cult idiots? Cause, half the stuff in here is bogus white-supremacists mixed in with antisemitism in the disguise of Christianity. Reminds me of the old stuff my grandma warned me about. Armstrong was a wack-job kool-aid drinking fraud. As is about anyone who starts with the “Lost tribes of Israel are The UK and America”. I quit reading after THAT nonsense.
Since I am not....or ever have been a member of any "Armstrong" organization I feel somewhat obligated to respond to your statement.
From what I understand Herbert Armstrong did not invent any "Lost Tribes Theory". This concept has been around for many years and I believe there is some truth to it. I also understand that some organizations have taken this idea to themselves and indeed do present a racist point of view with their outlook. I feel that if one looks at scripture with an open mind there are some legitimate questions raised about the possibilities of a lost to history, "House of Israel".
It seems that your major dispute in this area is with Armstrong and some identity groups so we should be able to have a polite conversation regarding the location of the Ten Tribes since I represent neither of these factions.
If you are game..... I would like to start out by asking you, Where do you think the Israelites are today....21st Century?
Isn’t it amazing/fitting that the basic assumption of the masses is that Joseph is dead? There is nothing new under the sun. :-)
Somtimes I think Palestinians are smarter than the average Christian. Even the savages have some weird compulsion to destroy Joseph’s tomb over and over again, as if there’s something really important (read: alive) in there.
You can almost feel it in the air...
Christ’s righteousness is imputed or accredited to us, we are not made righteous. There is a subtle but very important distinction. Because of this distinction, we can depend on Him, not on what we need to accomplish to be certain of our salvation. Praise God! Because I can trust Him whereas I constantly fail!
Sure it does, for Christians and non-Christians. Christian faith will be much stronger than it is now. Non-Christians will know for sure whom the Lord is. There won't be a question.
He was going away was to prepare a room for them in His Father's house. It would be difficult to imagine Christ returning to "reign" over this earth. This place along with everything in it is corrupted and is to be burned.
Well yes, but there's the millennium first. Christians are to reign with Christ on earth:
Rev 5:9 And they *sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Rev 5:10 "You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth."
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Scripture also indicates that the creation itself will be delivered from corruption:
Rom 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
Rom 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
This most likely occurs during the millennium.
I would suggest Christ has already established His kingdom but it isn't here. Christians have been born into this kingdom and we are His ambassadors to this world. Someday we will be called home. This world is not our home.
I would agree that it's not our permanent home. But the millennium seems to be a transition period. As to what form the universe takes after the millennium there's a question. What constitutes a "new heaven new earth"?
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.Seven
Thank you for the recommendation.
"British Israelism" has been co-opted and corrupted by white supremacists and anti-semites. But you clearly haven't read any of the information here because none of it is anti-semitic or racist. Can you present evidence of where you see such things?
For information about United Church of God, the publisher of this piece, see post 21
. Let me know if you have any questions...
Granted he does make some assumptions. I believe he assumes that people will go to the link he provided to The United States and Great Britain in Bible Prophecy where the claim is presented in great detail. It's a relatively lengthy argument so I think the author can be cut some slack for providing a link and not going over the entire point in the article.
Most folks that call themselves Christians are Biblical illiterates. If they're smart.....or stupid....is another question.
But.....there is no denying the fact that the Palestinians know, "Something is Up"!
He certainly can make good out of what we perceive as a tragedy. Katrina was horrible. My heart goes out to all who lost their homes and their lives or those of loved ones. The innocent are always caught up in these tragedies. But God IS in control and He does what He sees fit for His own great purposes for our nation and our lives individually. We may not like what happens but when we press into God, we are delivered in some mysterious and wonderful way. The US has turned its collective back on God. He is trying to bring us back so he CAN bless us. He still has great plans for us as a nation and as individuals who will put their faith and trust in Him.
I think you would enjoy it. She’s a marvelous teacher. There are videos that go along with it, that you need to use. But it’s worth it. Maybe someone in your church or area would have them and you could borrow them. The first part is all about the dreams Daniel had, but it really talks about Babylon, it’s culture and mindset, which is OUR culture and mindset. She is trying to get us to see how this culture has affected our lives and our thinking. It’s wonderful.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 11:1-3
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
Joseph still lives (as evidenced by faith in the word of God), and it is an absolute vexation to those who desire to avoid this fact.
I agree that Christians living in the culture we live in today is very much like Daniel and other jews living in Babylon and we can learn alot from the examples in scripture.
Thanks for the information.
So do I. Quix, I am being bombarded by friends and neighbors lately trying to convince me the UFO's are from other planets, or the latest craze, "parallel universes!" More and more people are beginning to believe this.
You have hit on something here. People are absolutely vexed over this possibility.....that the Northern Tribes never returned from their exile and quite possibly are now located exactly where God wants them to be.
[Isaiah 65:15] And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name.
They will no longer be known as Israel. And........
[Isaiah 62:2] And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
[Genesis 21:12] And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
"Isaac's Sons"....Saxons?????
[Romans 11:25] For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
They will not know who they are.
[Hosea 1:10] Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
They will be believers in the Messiah but unaware of their heritage.....and a multitudinous people.
[Jeremiah 15:7] And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.
On the other hand....Judah will not be as populous.
[Genesis 35:11] And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
Israel was the name given to the Sons of Joseph:[Genesis 48:5]
[Jeremiah 24:9] And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
Judah.....would not receive the same blessings.
[Jeremiah 31:33] But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Israel to be under a New Covenant. Judah to remain under the Old Covenant.
[Jeremiah 33:17] For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
The house of Judah has not had a King....or a throne since Zedekiah [II Kings 25:7] who died in Babylon.
When people learn these things they should shout "Praise God" to the roof tops. But.....some indeed get vexed!
Excellent post about Reagan!
