The modern day "chosen people" have only been chosen by
the United States only within the global world as we know it. The
modern day struggle for this land by European Jewish immigrants have no
connection with Palestine other than through their religion.
The alphabet that we all learned in
Kindergarten had no "J" or "U" until the end of the 18th
century or about 200 years ago. The Roman Alphabet had missing
letters. The word "JUSTICE"
would have been written "IVSTICE" by the ancient Romans. You may have seen
"Romanized" inscriptions on Courthouses that perpetuate this usage.
The modern day Israel created by the US and Britain in 1947 was less than 70
years ago so where did the modern day Jews come from?
The nationality of people in the Biblical
Israel was never JEW ISRAELI, OR SEMITE. The name Jew was only
applied to the tribe of Judah (Yahudah in the Hebrew). So, Moses could not
have been a Jew because he was from the tribe of Levi making him a Levite
(NUM 26:59). Those that were from the tribe of Yahudah, were known as
Yahudites in Hebrew or Judahites in English, not Jews, and Yahudites only
made up 1/12th of the nation of Israel.
The
word/name "JEW" is not a Hebrew word, it's English. There is no letter "J"
or "J" equivalent in the Hebrew language. As a matter of fact, the letter
"J" is one of the last letters to be added to the English alphabet. It was
created in the 1600's in France, so there was not a letter "J" in existence
during biblical times. In English, Jew means, those who practice a religion
called Judaism. Since the ancient Hebrews didn't practice a religion called
Judaism, the name Jew could not refer to the biblical children of Israel or
their modern day descendants.
The word "ISRAELI" is not
mentioned in scripture. Israeli only refers to a citizen or resident living
in the modern "STATE" of Israel. Israeli does not mean a descendant of
Jacob, (Yaaqob in Hebrew) who's name was changed to Israel (Genesis 32:28).
An Israeli and an Israelite are two different things.
Neither can the word "SEMITE"
be found in the bible. The biblical Israelites were Hebrews descendants from
Shem, (Noah's son) through Abraham and through his son Isaac and through
Isaac's son Jacob (Yaaqob / Israel). Israel had 12 sons who were all Hebrews
(Deuteronomy 29:13). Neither Noah, Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob gave birth to a
son named Seme or Sem. This means that the Semites could not be descendants
of Abraham, Isaac, or Israel. So, it follows that they could not be
Israelites, according to scripture.
There was never a tribe among
the children of Israel called Sem or Semite. There were only twelve tribes
of Israel:
Semite is of relative recent
origin. It comes from the 18th century (along with the word Jew). One of its
uses was to designate those who spoke a certain language, such as Syrian,
Hebrew, and Arabic. The name was given an extra meaning later, to include
all those people who were "SUPPOSED" to be descendants of Noah's son Shem
(not Sem). Over the years, Semite has come to mean Jew and Jew only. So, in
modern day terminology Semite is synonymous with Jew or Jews.
If the Jews are Semites, which they claim to be, this means they are not
descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, which means they are not
Israelites. Semite is a word made up by deceived men with little
understanding of The Bible and should never be used in reference to the
biblical Hebrew Israelites. It will only cause further confusion, to an
already confused world, and since YHWH never refers to Israel as: JEWS,
ISRAELI OR SEMITE, we shouldn't either.
