This question has been answered throughout the website according to the word of God. Yet it is necessary to give a full answer since some are taught that in Christ it doesn’t matter. If this was true, our heritage would not be purposely hidden to the masses of our people. Colossians 1:26 “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” Portions of the Bible have become a mystery besides our ancestry.
As believers in Christ, we must be built by the foundation the prophets have laid for us in the word. Their testimonies cannot be broken or dismissed. Rather we hold their words holy which are able to make us wise unto salvation through the faith in Jesus Christ. 2nd Peters 3:2 “That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:” The so called Old Testament is rejected as invalid to the gospel (good news) of Christ in Churchianity (modern Christianity). Thus suppressing valuable information that inherently comes by knowing your nationality. It is time the hidden mysteries become uncovered. For that reason we seek for our brothers and sisters to be built in Christ with this sure foundation.
Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus 33:10 “And all men are from the ground, and Adam was created of earth:” Verse 11: “In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, and made their ways diverse.” The Bible is teaching us a lesson that in this world is disregarded. The Lord himself divided the nations of this earth although all nations came from Adam. See, Deuteronomy 32:8-9.
Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus 33:12 “Some of them hath he blessed and exalted and some of them he sanctified, and set near himself: but some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned out of their places.” The belief that all are the same to the Heavenly Father because we come from Adam is not realistic. A person that begins to read the book of Genesis will find evidence of this. There is a difference between some of the sons of Adam and it is beyond physical appearance. It is a matter of being blessed, exalted, and sanctified (made holy).
Within a few chapters of Genesis it becomes apparent whom God chose to bless and set near himself. Isaiah 51:2 “Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.” As for the other people, which also come of Adam there is no evidence that they were called or blessed. Only Abraham and his wife Sarah alone believed in the Heavenly Father and were blessed with a covenant.
Psalms 105:6 “O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.” Verse 7: “He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.” Verse 8: “He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.” Verse 9: “Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;” Verse 10: “And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:” The word of the Lord is establishing that the covenants from the beginning were only with these men and no other nation, although all men came from Adam. By doing this he chose to bless one nation and sanctify them, by giving them his law. While the other nations he did not bless with his law. Please read, Psalms 147:19-20.
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people [Israel] unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” Verse 7: “The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:” Verse 8: “But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.”
A covenant is an agreement, in which God swore that he would bless the seed of Abraham and this is known as the promises. Acts 2:39 “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” In knowing this, we must remind you of what the promises given to our fathers entail.
Galatians 3:16 “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one,...” The apostles were never reluctant towards expressing the promises. Rather they reinforced what we learned from the prophets; that the promises were NOT to seeds, as of many. The covenant God made with Abraham was then given to one of his sons; his oath was unto Isaac. Romans 9:7 “Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.” Abraham had other nations come from him yet they were not counted as partakers of the promise. In the eyes of the Heavenly Father they were not considered his children. While in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Out of Isaac came forth Jacob also known as Israel, to whom the covenant was given to. It continues to say in Galatians 3:16 “…. And to thy seed, which is Christ.” The apostle Paul explains to us that ultimately the seed that was to be called in Isaac was Christ. Meaning that the promises made unto Abraham was a prophetic declaration about the mercy his children should expect by the coming of Christ. It is important to note also that the prophecy outlined the ancestry of Christ as an Israelite (Jew).
A true believer should find it problematic that in all Churchianity opposing doctrines are taught regarding the promises. In fact they make God into a liar with their teachings. See, Titus 1:2. Stating that God had cast away his heritage Israel and replaced them. Thus no longer honoring the everlasting covenant or the oath to his friend Abraham. They shut up the kingdom of heaven against those who are the rightful heirs of the promise. Hindering them from receiving mercy by a gospel that is not based on scripture.
Acts 13:23 “Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:” Verse 32: “And we declare unto you glad tidings [good news the gospel], how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,” Verse 33: “God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children...”
Romans 9:4 “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth [belongs] the adoption [of sons and daughters], and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;” Verse 5: “Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.”
The scriptures are teaching us that the promise of salvation is unto Israel because of the oath that was given to their fathers. If we are to believe the flawed doctrines of modern Christianity (Churchianity) then we would be denying the reasons for the existence and purpose of Christ.
Acts 13:38 “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man [Jesus Christ] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:”
Forgiveness of the wrong doings committed (sins) is mercy or grace. We have come across a huge issue with the doctrines of Churchianity, asserting that ancestry is not a concern in regards to mercy. According to the scriptures, the words sin, iniquity, and transgression are defined as the breaking of God’s law. See, 1st John 3:4. Remember the law was not given to everyone! Amos 3:1 “Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,” Verse 2: “You ONLY have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.” Our people are currently suffering punishment for their sins and they do not understand why. It is because they are the people God gave his laws to.
Another concern is that Churchianity teaches, the laws are now voided by the faith of Christ. This makes it impossible for a person to acknowledge their sins and repent. Isaiah 59:20 “And the Redeemer [Savior] shall come to Zion [Israel], and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.” To receive mercy, those that believe in the promise of Christ could not continue in their sins. They must turn away from transgression which essentially means to repent. A person ignorant of their heritage would not consider that they are in sin, neither would they think they need saving. Micah 7:18 “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.”
Repentance is not taught in Churchianity therefore wickedness continues and the anger of God. Micah 7:19 “He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” As we turn from our transgression, God turns again toward us to show us compassion. Besides the wonderful hope of pardon in Christ, by our heritage we possess great gifts that will subdue our iniquities. Ephesians 1:13 “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,”
Micah 7:20 “Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob,..” It is not common knowledge that the word of truth is the property of the children of Israel for ever. Please read, Deuteronomy 29:29 and Romans 3:1-2. Hence the true teachers of the Bible are the owners of it; they were promised to be sealed with the Holy Spirit. Revelations 7:4 “And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”
Imagine you are the owner of a property but you are unaware of your right to possess the land and house. Also those that took over your property withhold the information that would restore you as the owner and they also lie of your ancestry. While they label you as an outsider they also claim it is not necessary for them to be descendants to possess the property. Once you begin to read the contract for yourself; knowing what the contract (covenant) states, they try to add themselves to it by stating they are spiritually children. Thus cunningly preventing you, which are destitute from claiming the great riches that is rightfully yours. Galatians 3:15 “Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant [contract], yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.”
Wouldn’t you be outraged if you found out that you are an heir of the most precious property? Although we are speaking after the manner of men, a contract could not be altered. In this carnal example we know the reaction to this information would be seeking restoration. We do not have to imagine a fairy tale, this is actually the case with our people. Yet, (Isaiah 42:22) “… none saith, Restore.” Although there is a conspiracy against the heirs of the promises, the good will of the most High could not be prevented. Micah 7:20 “Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.”
It was not only a promise that was given to Abraham's children but also the confidence that God will perform it. Romans 4:21 “And [Abraham] being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.” This is why we were told to “Look unto Abraham your father” because to receive the mercy we must realize who was our father. Similar to how it is important to know your background to receive an inheritance of property. Galatians 3:8 “And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.”
Earlier scriptures made it clear to us that the covenant could not be altered to addeth thereto, nor were the promises to seeds, as of many people that did not come from Abraham. Reading in the book of Genesis we could foresee that after many generations Israel will become lost due to captivities (slavery). To the point they will not even remember their father Abraham thinking that they are heathens or gentiles from different nations. Please read, Genesis 35:9-13.
To make this clear, in Churchianity they know Israel did not keep God’s commandment and were punished for their sins. Leviticus 26:24 “Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.”
The consequence of this punishment was Israel losing the land and their enemies possessing it. Leviticus 26:32 “And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.”
After being cast out of the land, they were scattered among all the nations and became slaves. Leviticus 26:33 “And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.” Assimilating to the customs and culture of the people that enslaved them, thus losing their heritage. See, Jeremiah 17:4.
Deuteronomy 32:26 “I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:” At this point they became as heathens with no recollection of their ancestry, lost. This is when Churchianity steps in to claim the heritage of Israel as their own. Indoctrinating the chosen into rejecting their own mercy.
Leviticus 26:39 “And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.” Verse 40: “If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;” To confess your iniquity (sin) is the act of repentance. The heavenly Father requires for us to remember who our fathers were. To properly repent you must know who you are! Only then will you be able to see that you are in sin and acknowledge that your forefathers went astray from the covenant given to them.
Jeremiah 14:20 “We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.” Religions and sinful traditions are commonly passed down to the children. To give up the sinful ways learned from their fathers and repent, you must acknowledge the lies inherited. See, 1st Peter 1:18 and Jeremiah 16:10-21.
These prophecies detail the current condition of our people; they pine away in their sins. The false gospel of Churchianity is that Christ died so they could continue living in sin. Also that the Gentiles replaced the Jews. Although they suffer punishments, they are led to believe that they have received mercy. Leviticus 26:41 “And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:” Verse 42: “Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.”
As the apostle Paul taught, in Abraham shall all Israelites among the nations be blessed. A foundation of the Truth is knowing your ancestors. Only then you will be able to grasp true repentance in Christ and the way to mercy. The scriptures foreseeing this need for mercy that will be obtained after we bethink ourselves. God keeping his promises are detailed in many scriptures. Leviticus 26:44 “And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.” Verse 45: “But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.”
Do not be deceived into believing that your past and ancestry is of no importance. There is no covenant or oath for religions, this is truly what is not important. The Heavenly Father will not forget his inheritance, nor the mercy to those that look to their father Abraham. Luke 1:54 “He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;” Verse 55: “As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.” Verse 72: “To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;” Verse 73: “The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,”
Yet an unbeliever might say that Christ doesn’t care of what nationality you come from. To such a person we direct them to the book of Matthew.
Matthew 15:22 “And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.” A woman comes seeking mercy from Christ, specifically that her daughter would be healed from an evil spirit. The same woman is spoken of in the book of Mark 7:26 “The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.” This is letting us know that she was not of the children of Israel.
Let’s continue reading to see the response that Christ gave her. Matthew 15:23 “But he answered her not a word…” Where is the compassionate Lord that cares not of what nation you are from? Could it be possible that he did not hear her or was not aware of her situation although it said that she cried unto him?
Matthew 15:23 “But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.” The disciples being aware of this woman and her situation requested that Christ send her away? At this moment we know he is fully aware of the situation and instead of remaining silent we should expect a response.
Matthew 15:24 “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” The answer to this woman is extremely clear. It is undeniable that Christ was initially ignoring her pleas. The rejection of the disciples towards a person in need of help and the lack of criticism or correction from Christ to the disciples is because of her nationality. We could establish as a fact that Christ was not sent by the most High God to the other nations. It was also common knowledge what he explained to her, that he was sent only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. See, Matthew 18:11.
Matthew 15:25 “Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.” In spite of being dismissed she continued to be persistent. Matthew 15:26 “But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.” In this response he showed that a person of another nation is not equal to the children of Israel. He compared the woman to a dog! As insulting as that sounds it is a great analogy to show the difference between the chosen people and all the other nations. His explanation goes into many scriptures that describe dogs as an unacceptable offering to God because it is unclean and abominable. Therefore unto dogs were given not the food that one would eat but the refuse and unclean things. Hence it is not appropriate to feed the dogs with the children’s bread.
Matthew 7:6 “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” The bread represents those holy gifts that God gave unto the children of Israel such as Christ, the holy Spirit, the promise land (Kingdom), and etc.. See 1st Corinthians 10:15-20, John 6:47-48, Luke 11:11-13, and Deuteronomy 8:6-10.
Matthew 1:21 “And she [Mary] shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Again confirming whom he came to save. By the death of Christ a new testament or covenant (agreement) was established. We cannot forget that his people Israel only had the first covenant therefore they were in need to be saved of their sins.
We have to remind you brothers and sisters, with whom did the Lord set up his new covenant? Hebrews 9:15 “And for this cause he [Christ] is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption [save] of the transgressions [sins] that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”
Can you settle a dispute with a person that you do not know? Imagine going up to a stranger and pleading with them to renew their relationship with you. They would be confused and you will be left in an awkward and embarrassing position. This is the situation with those that claim the new covenant was to all people when they were not partakers of the first testament. Christ came to reconcile Israel to the Heavenly Father; this is the reason a new covenant was necessary. Hebrews 8:8 “For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:” The children of Israel in their sins broke the first covenant, causing them to be at fault. We cannot add or take away from the words of the Lord; his covenant is with the house of Israel and Judah. Please read, Jeremiah 31:31-37.
A persistent unbeliever would ask whether Christ taught us to know our nationality. The answer is simply, YES! An example is found when Christ met a woman that called herself a Samaritan. John 4:9 “Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.” In this situation Christ initiated the conversation, the woman was shocked that a Jew was speaking to her. Which makes sense, based on the previous interaction we read. But why was he speaking to her?
John 4:10 “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” This Samaritan woman was offered by Christ the gift of God, meaning salvation. Please read, Romans 6:23.
John 4:11 “The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?” The woman thought Christ was speaking of water from the well that was before them. She did not understand that the living water he referred to was the spiritual gift of the Holy Spirit and ultimately salvation. See, John 7:38-39 and Isaiah 12:2-3.
However when the woman continued to speak to Christ she knew of her nationality but chose to not follow it. John 4:12 “Art thou greater than OUR father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?” As the conversation continues Christ reveals to her what the living waters meant. John 4:14 “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
After she realized what he was offering her, he admonished her. John 4:22 “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” Therefore Christ did teach the importance of nationality, by expressing to her that she must put on her heritage as a Jew for there is no other way to receive salvation. Your nationality is essential to being a true worshipper of the Heavenly Father. For this reason the Apostles themselves taught those who were unaware of their nationality how to repent and turn back to the blessings the Heavenly Father had given Israel.
An example of this was Paul the minister of the Gentiles. Romans 9:23 “And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,” Verse 24: “Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?”
To explain how God before prepared glory for the children of Israel, Paul quoted from the book of Hosea. Using the prophecy to illustrate how the Gentiles will be taught their nationality. Romans 9:25 “As he saith also in Osee [Hosea], I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.” In Churchianity this scripture is used to give the illusion that it’s referring to actual Gentiles. In their doctrine, they lead you to believe that the foreign nations were not accepted until the death of Christ. As messed up as that sounds, it confirms that the actual heathen nations had no prior relationship with the most High God.
Romans 9:26 “And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.” A prophecy that befell Israel because of the scattering in captivity.
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.” As you could see it’s a direct quote speaking of the children of Israel. Israelites were being told that they are not the children of God; such things happen today as it did in Paul’s time period. But Paul and the rest of the Apostles taught them that they are indeed the sons of the living God, meaning they taught them their nationality according to the Bible.
Romans 9:27 “Esaias [Isaiah] also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:” Paul continued to say that Isaiah “crieth concerning Israel” not Gentiles. Explaining Hosea, that Israel will be as the sand of the sea and a remnant of them were to be saved. Therefore informing those ignorant of their heritage, who had believed they were Gentiles all their lives; it was said to them that in reality they are the children of Israel. Today it is our task to do the same for our brothers and sisters that are lost in the world.
With understanding of the scriptures, now we could fully comprehend what Paul meant when he said in Romans 10:12 “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.” Meaning the promises that were given was to all Israel, even to those who were raised in the Greek (Hellenistic) customs because of slavery. 2nd Maccabees 6:6 “Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient feasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew.” As evidence shows, the children of Israel were forced to renounce their nationality and call themselves Greeks. See also, 1st Maccabees 1:41-52 and Joel 3:6. They are the same people, therefore whosoever of the seed of Israel called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Without knowledge of the prophecies and history it could become obscure how a Jew and Greek are the same. Also it would be contradicting Christ, who flat out rejected a Greek woman. Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
In similar fashion Paul quotes another prophecy to explain his statement. Joel 2:32 “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” The prophecy speaks for itself. The whosoever that was to be saved is of Zion which is Israel. Please read, Isaiah 60:14. There are many in Churchianity that believe they are saved. Unfortunately they do not know what they worship, nor the way to salvation.
It is easy now to understand the scripture you read in the Home Page. Ephesians 2:11 “Wherefore remember, that ye being in time PAST Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;”
Notice Paul states in “time past”, showing us that they have now put on their true heritage. Also we want to remind you that there is no such thing as a spiritual Israelite. See, Romans 9:3-5 and Revelations 2:9. Therefore if they were true Gentiles they would not be able to be called by the name of Israel. For an Edomite is an Edomite (Greek), we cannot change our nationalities.
Ephesians 2:12 “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:” Verse 13: “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” When they were Gentiles they were without Christ! By not knowing that they were Israel they were without hope; because it alienated them from God and from all the riches that come from the promises of our forefathers.
Knowing the riches and goodness of the God of Israel, we beseech our brothers and sisters to put on the mind of our fathers. See, Malachi chapter 4. For all the promises and blessings were given to a specific people, Israel. We were once alienated, calling ourselves by other names than that which God had called us by (Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, etc..). But now we must put on Christ and be reconciled to the Father.
Galatians 3:26 “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Verse 27: “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” Verse 28: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Verse 29: “And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Shalam (Peace)!
