How Exactly Was Jesus A Jew?
Just Barely.
12 TRIBES (SONS) OF ISRAEL (JACOB).
Out of all of Jacobs 12 sons, only one of them was important enough for his bones to be carried all 40 years wandering in the desert, because he was the “premiere” of the sons, and God told them to do so. This was JOSEPH.
ONE of his 12 sons was named “Judah” – which is the namesake of ALL JEWS and Jewish comes from him alone. His bones were not carried back to the new promised land, but rather left in the desert to rot.
Modern psychiatry tells us that approximately 1 to 3% of the human population is Psychopathic – they will murder others for their own purposes. And then between 5 and 7% of the population is Sociopathic – they will harm others for their own purposes. So these statistics would indicate that around 7 to 10% of the population – around 1 out of every 10 people – are mentally ill and dangerous to the well being of other people around them.
Judah seems to have been the “one out of 10”. By the time Jesus came on the scene MOST OF THE LAND that father Jacob (Israel) had given out to the 12 was now in the hands of the one – Judah and his offspring known as The Jews – for over 700 Israel had ceased to exist, divided by Judea (Judah, Jews) to the south and all the rest crammed into the small north.
By the time Jesus came on the scene, there was no land named Israel!!! JESUS DID NOT LIVE IN ISRAEL!!! Israel as a nation, had expired over 700 years prior to Jesus, and the land around Jerusalem had been known as JUDEA – named after the ruling tribe – that whole time.
Now, in modern times, why did the one son Judah (Jews) name their newly acquired land (May 1947 UN Decree) after their GRANDFATHER (ISRAEL) instead of their father Judah, like when Jesus lived there? It’s because the bible name “ISRAEL” was necessary to shackle the Western/American Christians’ minds, in order to get this charade to succeed.
WHO are the other 11 Non-Jewish Tribes (sons) of Israel (Jacob).? The ones that were NOT from Judah (Jewish)… WHERE are they today..? They are IN today’s Christian Churches.
Oh, and one other thing. God promised Abraham that his seed would be a blessing to all the corners of the earth. Now who here could possibly place an accusation that Jews have been a “blessing to the world”, on today’s modern Jewry (other than a blessing to other Jews)? HAHAHA? That would be NO!!
No, the blessing to the world, through Abrahams line, has come from Jacob’s OTHER 11 SONS!! That is we/us, the followers of Jesus Christ – His sheep who recognize His voice and follow Him wherever He leads.
Here is a condensed version:
Not everyone in the Old Testament were “Jews”.
Abraham had Isaac.
Isaac had Jacob / Israel.
Jacob/Israel had 12 sons.
ONE of the 12 sons was named Judah – he is the father of ALL JEWS.
The name of land that Judah and his sons lived in was called Judea.
The other 11 tribes ARE NOT JEWS!!!
Jesus Spent Most Of His Time Outside Of Judea
Jesus’ father Joseph lived in Nazareth, a town in the Northern Kingdom – not down south in Judea were the Jews were.
Joseph had to travel back to his family town, Bethlehem in Judea because he had to register for the census that was taking place. That is when and why Jesus was born in Judea, to a descendant of Judah, who was in Judea to register for the census. These 2 things are what made Jesus a Jew – His bloodline and His place of birth. Almost immediately after His birth, He wound up for several years in Egypt. Then, when His family moved back, they moved to Nazareth, in the North.
We see Him and His family travel to Jerusalem when he was 12 years old for the Feasts. But after that, the Bible is silent on the life of Jesus was 12 to 30 years old. History can fill in many of the gaps by showing that people in India and Persia recorded the visit to them by “Saint Essa” – Jesus – during that time. He went there to learn what could not be found in the middle east, where He came from – how to convert a standard issue human body into that of an immortal.
During His 3.5 year ministry He had a love/hate relationship with Jerusalem, which was in Judea. He did not spend much time there at all. And when He was there, there was never a dull moment – starting and ending with Jesus dumping over the tables of the money changers. That certainly would have made Him one of the most notorious guys around, at that time.
Jesus did not act like a Jew. He did not even like the “Jews” (leadership). He spent very little time in Judea, except mainly to start and end His ministry there.
This is why I say He was Barely a Jew – not much at all.
Our Father was born of the tribe of Judah, but that certainly does not earmark, or condemn Him as a Jew! Judaism is (and has been since well before our Father’s first earthly ministry) a sick religion of “the traditions of men”, condemned, forever! This is what is meant by the scripture condemning the fig tree: “No fruit will grow on you anymore”!
Here Are Some Videos To Explain Much Lost History
Here are some of the things you will learn in these videos:
The last in the list of Joktan’s sons is “Abram, the same is Abraham” who had two sons Isaac and Ishmael. I Chronicles I, verse 34 tells us “Abraham begat Isaac” and his sons were called Esau and Jacob, later Israel. I Chronicles chapter 2 states “These are the sons of Israel; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Isachar and Zebulun, Dan, Joseph and Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad and Asher.” These names should be noted carefully. These are the twelve tribes of the House of Israel, but also known elsewhere as the Sons of Isaac.
It should also be noted that the children of Israel have a sister Dinah. We can but look forward to the revelation of the Dinahites as a full-blown Israeli tribe in their own right. Perhaps the ‘woman’s touch’ could put the whole House of Israel in order. Nothing says the next Messiah has to be male.
So what do these genealogical links leave us with?
- The term Shemite is derived from Noah’s son Shem.
- The term Hebrew is derived from Shem’s descendant Eber. Eber was a Shemite, and the first Hebrew. The first Hebrew could not be a Jew or even an Israelite because neither had come into being at that time.
- Abraham in turn was Eber’s descendant. Abraham was a Shemite and a Hebrew, but still could not be a Jew or Israelite because neither yet existed.
- Isaac was Abraham’s son. Isaac was a Shemite and a Hebrew, but could not be a Jew or an Israelite either because they didn’t exist.
- Jacob, who God renamed Israel, was Isaac’s son. Israel was a Shemite and a Hebrew, but not a Jew.
- Judah was only one of Israel’s twelve sons. Judah was a Shemite, a Hebrew, and an Israelite. The first Jews were the children of Judah. The descendants of the other eleven sons of Israel are not Jews. We will come to significant aspects of that fact later.
This series of videos is where I have learned an amazing amount of information, and Biblical truth from. I hope you enjoy them as well.
