Hello Friends! Thanks for stopping by, this day is a good day for knowledge, this subject matter has been a big misunderstanding to most of the masses because of the way of our enemy. Us being taught wrong and misguided into a mindset that has no Bible foundations, yet heard and disguised in mens traditions. Today is “Truth to the title above.
It stays faithful to the KJV of the Bible, explains lineage strictly from Scripture, and avoids any claims that would attribute modern political groups or ethnic groups as “true” or “false” Jews. Instead, it clarifies the biblical identity of Israel as presented in Scripture, and what the Bible itself says about scattering, covenant lineage, appearance, and prophecy.
‘Friends, this is inspired to give you the reader clarity without hostility, accuracy without accusation, and understanding without division. We must all do our homework, as I did, in order to move beyond hearing and misinterpretation to receive our Father in Heaven’s book of life with clear truth and understanding. Following prayer, we must “read it” ourselves so that His Holy Spirit can interpret His true message for us! So let’s get this started…
Introduction:
‘Friends, Across thousands of years, the identity of the Hebrews has been a point of wonder, debate, conflict, and confusion. Nations have risen and fallen, borders have changed, empires have claimed authority, and religions have multiplied—but God’s Word has remained unchanged, preserving the pure testimony of who Israel is, how their lineage began, and what the Lord declared concerning their future.
The Bible teaches that Israel’s identity is not determined by politics, geography, or modern institutions, but by the covenant line established by God Himself. The Scriptures of the King James Bible reveal the difference between the Hebrews descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the many peoples of the earth who later adopted their customs, religions, or titles.
This essay does not seek to condemn or accuse any nation, but the truth must be told. Instead, it seeks to clarify, using only the KJV of the Bible, the ancient identity of the covenant people and the promises God made to them from the beginning.
I. The Covenant Begins: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob:
The story of Israel begins with one man, chosen by God to birth a distinct people set apart for divine purpose:
“And I will make of thee a great nation… and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” ( Genesis 12:2–3).
Abraham fathered Isaac. Isaac fathered Esau and Jacob. God chose Jacob, renaming him Israel; “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel.” (Genesis 32:28). Thus, every Israelite descends from Jacob’s twelve sons, the fathers of the twelve tribes. This covenant lineage is the Bible’s starting point—not race, territory, or modern politics.
II. The Bible’s Descriptions of the Israelites:
The Scriptures themselves give physical and cultural clues about the ancient Hebrews. These descriptions reflect an Afro-Asiatic lineage common to the ancient Near East, not the European portrayals developed centuries later.
- Moses was mistaken for an African; When Moses fled Egypt, the daughters of Midian said: “An Egyptian delivered us…” (Exodus 2:19). The Hebrews were consistently mistaken for Egyptians, who were ancient Africans.
- Paul mistaken for an Egyptian; The Roman chief captain asked Paul: “Art not thou that Egyptian…?” (Acts 21:38).
- Solomon’s own description; “I am black, but comely…” (Song of Solomon 1:5). “I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem”: The speaker addresses the women of Jerusalem, stating that while her skin is dark, it is also beautiful. The biblical authors understood their own heritage and described themselves plainly.
- 4. Israel among other Afro-Asiatic peoples; Joseph’s brothers could blend seamlessly among Egyptians (Genesis 42–43). Jeremiah said the Ethiopians skin was a natural identifier (Jeremiah 13:23), linking familiar appearance among neighboring peoples. ‘Friends, scripture paints Israel as a people formed in a region spanning Africa and the Near East—not northern Europe.
III. The Scattering of Israel Foretold in Scripture:
- Israel’s disobedience brought consequences prophesied in the covenant. 1) “And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other.” (Deuteronomy 28:64).
- And again; “I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known.” (Jeremiah 9:16).
The scattering—the diaspora—is one of the strongest marks of biblical Israel in the last days. God said they would:
- lose identity.
- forget heritage.
- be oppressed.
- be ruled over
- be dispersed through many nations.
This scattering guarantees that the descendants of Jacob today are not confined to one land or one political state, but are spread across continents just as Scripture foretold.
IV. “Jews,” “Hebrews,” and “Israelites”—Different Biblical Terms:
- “Hebrew,” This word comes from Eber, an ancestor of Abraham (Genesis 10:21). It refers to lineage, not religion.
- “Israelite,” This describes descendants of Jacob/Israel. It is strictly genealogical.
- “Jew,” This originally referred to anyone from the tribe of Judah, later used for those of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi after the kingdom divided (2 Kings 16:6).
By the time of Christ, “Jew” had become both a tribal and religious term.
The confusion today; In the modern world, “Jewish” often refers to a religion, not a lineage. In Scripture, “Jew” refers to blood descendants of specific tribes. ‘Friends, this misunderstanding leads many to assume spiritual, political, or geographic identity equals biological descent—but the Bible draws the distinction clearly.
V. Africa and the Ancient Hebrew World/The Bible repeatedly shows interactions between Israel and various African nations:
- Abraham dwelt in Egypt (Genesis 12).
- Jacob’s household lived in Africa for generations (Exodus 1).
- Moses married a woman of Ethiopian descent (Numbers 12:1).
- Israel’s prophets mentioned Cush, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Libya often.
This does not mean every African nation descends from Israel. But it proves the biblical world was far more African than Western art and culture have portrayed. Israel’s story unfolded in an Afro-Asiatic world where borders and modern racial labels did not exist.
VI. Modern Confusion; Scripture vs. Politics/The Bible warns that in the last days there would be:
- false claims.
- confusion of identity.
- political declarations masquerading as spiritual truth.
Jesus said; “Take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4). And Revelation warns; “I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not…” (Revelation 2:9). This does not condemn any group. But yet is a warning. It simply affirms that claiming an identity and inheriting an identity are not the same.
Being Jewish religiously is not the same as being an Israelite by descent. And the Bible—not governments, institutions, or international councils defines the covenant line.
VII. The Bible’s Conclusion About Israel’s Identity/Throughout Scripture, God makes it clear:
- Israel’s identity is traced by lineage, not geography.
- Israel was scattered across nations—not confined to one land.
- Israel’s appearance aligned with their Afro-Asiatic region.
- Israel would lose their identity until God restored them.
- In the end, God—not man—will gather His people.
“And I will bring them again into their land… and they shall be my people.” (Jeremiah 32:37–38). The identity of the Hebrews is ultimately a work of God, not politics through the United Nations and the Rothschild Bankers!
Author’s Note:
‘Friends, whenever we speak about the identity of Israel, we must approach the subject with reverence, carefulness, and humility. The purpose of this essay is not to divide people, accuse nations, or diminish any individual’s heritage, but to elevate the authority of Scripture above the assumptions of man.
The Bible provides a record more ancient and trustworthy than any modern government or political boundary, and therefore it must remain our foundation when discussing the origins of God’s covenant people. It is vital to understand that the biblical identity of the Hebrews is not a weapon to harm others, nor a tool to stir resentment.
We should always pray for others’ ignorance of any biblical misunderstanding; it is instilled in us to do so. Scripture teaches that God “is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34), and that salvation is in Christ alone—not ethnicity, culture, or geography.
The Bible’s focus on Israel’s lineage serves a purpose within God’s redemptive plan, but the Gospel extends beyond lineage to gentiles, so that “whosoever believeth” may be saved (John 3:16). The scattering of Israel across nations prophesied in (Deuteronomy, Jeremiah, and other books), makes clear that God’s people would one day be found in many lands, speaking many tongues, and living among many cultures.
Don’t be fooled again by Imperialism, or colonialism, and pictures of Christ from the 1700s. Those times are where people were put in a box that became racist by category. This is a sinful reality that should humble us, not embolden us. It reminds us that only God knows the true genealogies of all people, for He alone sees the heart, the bloodline, and the hidden things of the world.
To defend this article, show it, as unquestionably biblical. But what it truly should mean today in everyone’s mindset, that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. And He is the only way to heaven. God bless and Amen!
