Only ONE ISRAEL today and that is the true CONGREGATION of Christ!! Jesus is the God of the Old Testament!! Jesus is JEHOVAH —the God of the Old Testament. He called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees and promised him that he would become a great nation. He dragged Lot out of the corrupt city of SODOM before He rained fire and brimstone from Heaven and destroyed that wicked city. He spoke to Moses in the burning bush and He gave the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai. He led Joshua against the Canaanites when they destroyed 7 powerful nations. He sent the prophet Samuel to anoint David king of Israel. He was present in the Tabernacle in the wilderness and when Solomon built the Temple and His glory filled the House of God. In the Old Testament, salvation was by RACE . . . only a direct descendant of Abraham could claim to belong to the CONGREGATION of the Lord. Proselytes were welcomed but they had to be circumcised and keep the law of Moses. Jesus came to open the CONGREGATION of the Lord to ALL people. He didn't come to start a "church" or even to start a new CONGREGATION . . . but to open the CONGREGATION to ALL people. Jesus said:
By His death and Resurrection on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Jesus defeated the strong man Satan and opened the CONGREGATION of the Lord to the entire world. He told His disciples before He returned to His kingly throne in Heaven:
From the time of Jesus onward, salvation is by GRACE . . . not RACE!! Jesus said:
The times of the Gentiles shall come to an end at the end of the world — the Last Day —the end of time. If the people who are inhabiting Jerusalem today are REAL Jews then that makes Jesus a LIAR!! Jesus said:
If the Wailing Wall is a part of the Jewish Temple that was destroyed in 70 A.D. then that makes Jesus a LIAR also!! The 5 main reasons for the founding of the State of "Israel".
Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem. When oil was discovered in the Mideast around 1914, it joined Caspian Sea oil in breaking the worldwide monopoly of Standard Oil. However, Rockefeller was not about to tolerate any competition to his syndicate. Russian oil had been pushed out of the loop by the Russian Revolution and the only remaining source of foreign oil was the Mideast. This necessitated Standard Oil control of the area. It just so happened that the Arabs controlled all of it and they were on Ignatius LIEola's hit list since the 16th century. Here was a chance to control the best oil in the world and at the same time destroy the Moslem religion. Standard Oil financed both sides during W W. I. When it was over, the British got control of Palestine from the Arabs. The fake "Jews" in Germany were invited to go and live there but few of them took up the offer because they had no connection with the Mideast. World War II changed all that. Standard Oil worked closely with I. G. Farben in Germany. They manufactured the gas for the ovens. When the war was over, the surviving "Jews' were more than willing to emigrate to Palestine. The State of "Israel" was officially recognized by the Rockefeller controlled U.N. on May 14, 1948. The rest is history. In 1971, Standard Oil controlled President Nixon assassinated the dollar. That means that the Arab nations could not receive real money of silver and gold for their precious oil. Just 2 years later in 1973, we have the Arab-Israeli conflict in which the Arab armies were annihilated by the Standard Oil-Pentagon backed Israelis. From that time on, the Arabs had to accept worthless paper while they are policed by Rockefeller-Pentagon bayonets and the threat of nuclear weapons which the Israelis possess in abundance. Messiah means the Anointed One. In the Bible, OIL is a symbol of the Holy Spirit -- the 3rd Person of the Godhead. The Bible says this concerning the Messiah:
The Messiah is the Son of God. He is both God and man. When Jesus began His public ministry he said to the people:
Only ONE ISRAEL today and that is the true CONGREGATION of Christ!! In
the Old Testament, Israel is called the wife of Jehovah. In the New
Testament the congregation is called the bride or wife of Christ.
It is the SAME thing as Jesus IS JEHOVAH.
God has ONLY ONE wife....He is NOT a bigamist....The Old Testament Israel is DEAD and gone forever - slain by the Roman sword in 70 A.D. The TRUE Israel is now the CONGREGATION of Christ comprising ALL who believe in the Risen Christ. Salvation is by GRACE today . . . not by race. St. Paul said to the church of Galatia:
All the prophecies about the dispersion and return of the Jews to their own land were fulfilled at the end the Babylonian Captivity in 457 B.C.,— not 1948 when the State of Israel was formed:
This was the Diaspora. . . . And now the re-gathering of the Jews to their own land 70 years later:
Not one single verse in the Old Testament,1 or New, written after the Babylonian Captivity mentions any other dispersion and re-gathering of the Jews. For 1,500 years prior to Christ the Jews began their new year in the Springtime and the Passover was at the time of the full moon. It was second nature to them . . . almost like breathing . . . Selah. Knowing the location of their Temple over the Gihon Spring in Jerusalem was also second nature to them. They could probably find it blindfolded!! Biblical Jews were mostly soldiers, writers, poets, farmers, musicians, tradesmen, builders, etc., etc. Very few of them were merchants. That mighty race disappeared from history after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Most of the smart ones converted to the Messiah and the rest were exterminated by the Roman wild beast. The people who call themselves "Jew's" today have no connection with that chosen people. They are Samaritans, their year begins in the fall and this year they "celebrated" Passover on April 20.
Samaria — home of the phony Jews — was located just North of Jerusalem. At the time of Christ there were plenty of phony Jews around. They were called Samaritans and lived north of Jerusalem. Jesus actually had an interview with one of them when he journeyed through Samaria and stopped to talk to a Samaritan woman:
Then she went on to claim that she was descended from Jacob the great Jewish patriarch:
But Jesus said unto her:
Jesus rejected the Samaritans claim of descent from Abraham. He refused to call them Jews:
One of these Samaritans named Simon had a confrontation with the Apostle Peter in Acts chapter 8 when he tried to buy the Gift of God with money.
This Simon the Sorcerer went to Rome and was honored as a god in that city with a stature being erected in his honor. This was the beginning of the close relationship between Rome and the phony Jews. Josephus, the great Jewish historian mentions the Samaritans.
When the Jewish wars began around 66 A.D., these Samaritans denied kinship with the real Jews and thus escaped from the Roman sword. Just before He went to the cross in 30 A.D., Jesus made some startling predictions about a great tribulation, the destruction of Jerusalem, and the end of the world. Then He made another startling prediction, He said that all these things would come to pass in one generation:
What did He mean? Was He wrong since the world did not come to an end in 70 A.D.? The world did come to an end in 70 A.D. — for the Jewish nation. Jesus gave that wicked nation and city a probationary period of 40 years to repent. General Titus besieged the city and over 1 million people were killed in the siege. The full account is given by the Jewish historian Josephus in his Wars of the Jews. To be a Jew you had to prove ancestry from Abraham or be married to someone who was thus descended. All the genealogical records were kept in the Temple which was completely destroyed. The Jews were scattered to the four winds. After the Fall of Rome, they and all the civilizations that comprised the Empire were swept away forever.
Arch of Titus in Rome commemorating his victory over the Jewish nation. In the Old Testament, and impassable barrier had been erected between Jew and Gentile. Christianity did away with all racial divisions. The new nation was based on grace and not race. . . . The Jewish nation, beginning with Abraham, had its 2,000 year existence and now the Holy Nation — the true Church — comprising all who believe in the Risen Christ would have a similar history. After the Fall of Rome, true Christianity moved Westward — to Hibernia and was preserved by the Scots. All the promises made to Abraham and King David in the Old Testament were fulfilled in the Resurrection and glorification of Jesus Christ in Heaven. St. Peter said:
There you have it: Since the Resurrection and Exaltation of Christ there is no longer any need for Jews. The Jewish nation was founded to bring forth the Savior of the world (the living Word) and to bring forth the written Word of God. By 70 A.D., all the Bible was finished except for the Book of Revelation and nothing new was added except to clarify what had already been foretold. In the great prophecy of the Seventy Weeks, God told Daniel the Prophet that 490 years were appointed to his nation . . . then it would be swept away as with a flood or destroyed forever. . . . Nothing is mentioned about any future re-gathering The old city of Jerusalem is still trodden down by the Gentiles exactly as Jesus predicted:
In the New Testament era the "Holy City" is the true Church — the New Jerusalem — comprised of all those, regardless of nationality, who believe that Jesus died and rose again:
The Books written after the Babylonian Captivity are: Daniel chapters 10,11,12, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Hagai, Zechariah, Malachi. The books of the Apocrypha were also written during that time but they are not recognized as Canonical — useful only for historical purposes.
Catholic priests examine Dead Sea Scrolls at Rockefeller Museum. An international team of Catholic "scholars" examine the Dead Sea Scrolls. You can be sure that any reference to the Mount of Olives as the site of the Resurrection was censored along with any reference to the true history of St. Peter. Not all Samaritans were bad. Jesus spoke about a GOOD Samaritan and many of the Samaritans did become real Jews by believing in Jesus....Justin Martyr the famous church historian who wrote about Simon the Sorcerer was also a Samaritan.
