Israelite Migrations, European Origins, and Exponential Population Growth
One of the more prominent supporters (Steve Olson: author of Mapping Human History, 2002) for the Out-of-Africa Theory (60,000+ years ago), has shown that the current Global Population size could have been reached within 2,000 to 7,000 years. See the Fox News story which broke in July of 2006. I know it might be difficult for some to understand just how monumental this is, but it truly is HUGE!!
I first read of the development from this Anthropology.net blog:
Could the ancestor of every living human lived only 2000 years ago? (It is now a dead link. I can’t imagine why.)
Olson, Chang, and Rohde corroborated as mathematicians before Mapping Human History was published in 2002. I may be wrong in this assumption because there isn’t any firm dates published in the article. Regardless, it astounds me that this revelation doesn’t profoundly impact the haplogroup origination estimations (the “official” estimates for most all Haplogroups date well beyond 20,000 years ago). Asking the Priests of Evolution to question one of their most basic dogmas is no different than asking a Christian to question the existence of Jesus Christ.
The algorithm Olson’s team used to determine the population group was undoubtedly very complex (read the news article). But here is a great webpage where you can actually play with the different variables in a much simpler Population Growth Equation: Principles of Population Growth. I like to put the starting population variable at “8″ since that is what I believe was the population of Noah’s family. I use 4400 years as the timeframe variable since that is the approximate date of Noah’s Flood according to Bible “literalists” (such as myself) when observing the literal chronologies in the Bible. The “birth rate” variable is the one that has been the most unstable and explosive throughout human history because of wars, famines, etc… But even after giving a very low averaged birthrate of “1%” or “.01″, or even lower, you’ll be surprised how hasty the human population explodes over time. It is the powerful result of exponential mathematics. Put 65,000 years as the timeframe variable and see what you get. The resultant is ridiculous and even absurd, even with many negative “birth rate” periods being considered!!!!!!!
As a frame of reference, when you consider the one hundred years of population growth in the American states between say 1750 to 1850, the “birth rate” variable far exceeded 2% for the general population, which is why European migrant populations to America had so much success populating the North American continent. To think this modern event is isolated, would be foolish considering our previous rapid success in populating the continent of Europe.
I’m currently reading Steve Olson’s book (Mapping Human History) and it is certainly evident that he and Spencer Wells (author of Deep Ancestry: Inside the Genographic Project) tow the same (religious) party line, regarding the evolutionary time frames of human migrations. It simply astounds me when they state their numbers in “tens of thousands” of years when the phenomenon of population growth and actual migration history counter those claims. Spencer Wells himself calls the land mass from eastern France to Korea a “super-highway” in his recent book. In my mind, it isn’t so “super” if it took many thousands of years to travel it. Traders traveled it in matter of months and years, not thousands of years. The “Silk Road” is a wonderful example. Of course, they were just traders, but large populations have been known to migrate rapidly. They generally don’t migrate at once, unless driven to do so for food (i.e. the relatively recent Irish potato famine) or driven by other hostile invaders (i.e. Goth and Hun migrations).
Furthermore, it is believed Europe was sparsely (thinly) populated before the Great Migration Period (200-800 AD/CE). Now when looking at the overwhelming frequency of Haplogroups R, I, and N in Europe, we know they either completely wiped out the previous male population in the last 2,000 years or there were no large population at all before that, because of the immense population migration into Europe AFTER that time. Personally, I believe Haplogroup R arrived in Europe in at least two major migrations, one by sea and one prolonged settlement migration by land), which seems to be confirmed by two separate mitochondrial (female) migration arrivals in Western Europe (one by sea / one by land).
First speculative migration: About 3,000 years ago (during and after the life of King David), Israel, Phoenicia, and Egypt were in a maritime alliance. They would go on sea-trade voyages together that would last three years in length and were then repeated after returning home (I Kings 10:21-24). Because Britannia (Britain) and Iberia (Spain) had numerous mineral resources needed back in the Levant and Nile regions, it is believed the Phoenician alliance likely settled those not so “far-off” lands in order to mine Tin, Silver, Copper, etc needed in their homeland building and war pursuits. According to the Bible, we know Israel, Phoenicia, and Egypt intermarried extensively (their respective royal families intermarried for the same reasons European royalty did so in the Middle Ages). In the case of Phoenicia and Israel, they even spoke a very similar, if not the exact same language during the time of David and Solomon. Tyre and Sidon (Phoenicia) neighbored Israeli territory in the north and reportedly inter-married (I Kings 7:13-14), probably more than what pleased the Elohim of Israel (Hosea 7:7-10).
Second speculative migration: About 2,700 years ago, the ten northern tribes of Israel were carried captive into the areas in or around the modern nation of Iran (the Assyrian Captivity). 700 years after the initial captivity (near the time of Jesus), the historian Josephus said the ten Israelite tribes had become an immense multitude in Asia (i.e. Parthian territory. See map below). Two hundred years after the life of Josephus, the Great Migration Period kicked off where enormous Asian populations migrated into Europe, eventually invading and settling Italiana, Britannia, and even Iberia.
The large R Haplogroup population in India is also quite indicative of this second migration. The Parthian-Saka population that fled the Sassanids (Persians) into Europe must have fled to other friendly regions to the south and east as well (modern day Pakistan and India). Those peoples surrounding Parthia at the time of her collapse were friendly because they were of the same stock (Ephraimites) in many cases.
I’m drawing upon many different fields to build these connections. As I read the material that counters my ideas, I try to ingest it without having too much bias, but I readily admit I have some bias because I trust the Bible as an instrument of faith, prophecy, AND history. But you’ll rarely see the Macro-evolutionists admit where their atheistic bias is injected into their legitimately scientific findings.
For those who may be interested, here is a link to a list of many secular scientists who are skeptical of the Darwinian (Out of Africa) theory: A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism.
Joseph, the Hunters are coming for you!!
… they know who you are, they don’t care if you don’t know who you are, and they aren’t going to play nice.
First, you may be asking, “Who is Joseph?”. For a quick answer, see: Who are the Joes?
Secondly, here is the promise for your own eyes and the context of the passage (provided further down in this article) will confirm it has only been fulfilled in part:
Jeremiah 16:16 reads [bold mine]:
16 “See, I am sending for many fishermen,” declares יהוה, “and they shall fish them. And after that I shall send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Judah (Jew da), knows well the meaning of Jeremiah’s prophecy above. Fishermen came to warn the Jews of Europe and the Middle East leading up to WWII. The rise of Zionism in the 1880s is the primary example. Some were wise enough to take the bait and leave, but many more were murdered by the hunters of the Holocaust. In the end, the survivors of Jew-da had enough motivation to leave Europe, Russia, Arab nations, and many other countries in order to form the modern nation of Israel.
Some have asked questions like, “Would the Jews and the international community have had the impetus to form Israel without the nazi hunters of the Jewish Holocaust?”. Usually it is a rhetorical question most everyone knows the answer to already. For the same reason millions of Jews won’t leave the United States now is because of peace and prosperity… a similar dynamic experienced in Europe before Hitler. Most of those who would be fished of Judah, have been fished. Joseph is another story altogether.
Usually the question above is followed up with: “How could the God of the Jews let so many Jews die?”. Jeremiah’s prophecy actually answers that question as well. The answer in short: Retribution.
Jeremiah used no uncertain words.
Jeremiah 16:14-21 reads [bold mine]:
14 “Therefore see, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when it is no longer said, ‘יהוה lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Mitsrayim,’
15 but, ‘יהוה lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I shall bring them back into their land I gave to their fathers [Note: this has not happened for Joseph/Ephraim yet].
16 “See, I am sending for many fishermen,” declares יהוה, “and they shall fish them. And after that I shall send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17 “For My eyes are on all their ways; they have not been hidden from My face, nor has their crookedness been hidden from My eyes.
18 “And first I shall repay double for their crookedness and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the dead bodies of their disgusting matters [Note: abortion], and have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
19 O יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles [Note: Ephraim] shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them.”
20 Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not mighty ones?
21 “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know My hand and My might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!”
Judah’s turn is largely up. Now the Fishermen are fishing for Joseph. Like Zionism of the 1880s, the Two House Movement has been growing and gaining strength in the last decade. Also, think of all the warnings going out: The Russians are coming! The Chinese are coming! The Arabs and Muslims are coming! Not to mention, our own governments are coming! Prophets of old are crying out: “Joseph, return, Return, RETURN!! Return to your Maker. Repent and return. TURN from your crookedness before it is too late!!!!!!!”
But will Joseph repent? First, Joseph doesn’t even know who he is. Secondly, most of his peoples think they can simply “call on Jesus”, be saved, and continue in their crookedness. But one thing is for sure, with centuries of torahlessness, with wickedness promoted to the entire world, and with the murder of countless unborn in abortion clinics, the Nations of Joseph most certainly deserve punishment… and they too, like Judah, will receive it. Only difference with Joseph: the next holocaust will include many many more millions hunted down and murdered.
Joseph, be warned. Take the fish bait, repent of your crookedness, return to יהוה, and return to Israel!! The Hunters are on their way. They will come from many directions. They won’t all look the same. They will sometimes look like you. They will sometimes be you. Regardless, they will accomplish what יהוה has sent them to do. Joseph will be punished and a remnant of Joseph will be re-gathered to the Ancient Lands of Israel. And Joseph will then proclaim: “The place is too narrow for me, make room for me to live (Isaiah 49:20).”

Sloppy Joes - Hosea 9:3 prophecy
I must first give credit to my lovely wife for the delicious title.
If you’re not from the United States, particularly from the South or Mid-west, you may not know what a “Sloppy Joe” is. (Follow the link for a real-life description of Sloppy Joes). In short, it is a really messy sandwich. It comes in all shapes and sizes and is frequently worn by the inexperienced consumer, especially small children.
And of course, you’re probably wondering: what do “Sloppy Joes” have to do with “Jews and Joes”?
Well, it actually doesn’t have much to do with the Jews, but the phrase illustrates the Joes (or Ephraimites) perfectly.
There is an ancient prophecy regarding the Joes that may seem a bit shocking or surprising:
Hosea 9:3: reads [bold mine]:
They shall not dwell in the land of YHVH, but Ephrayim shall return to Mitsrayim (Egypt), and eat unclean food in Ashshur (Assyria).
Well, we know the Jews have kept from unclean foods throughout all their many exiles and various homelands (which is an excellent proof that the Jews and the Joes represent different peoples/populations).
What is interesting, most of the people groups suspected of being descended from the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel are well known for their unclean foods (minus those groups that have been converted to Islam in Asia and the Middle East).
What is also interesting is the reality that the Joes have been forced into this sloppy condition because of their ancestors’ disobedience to the Torah (Hosea 9:17), and most of them continue in that defiance even in modern times.
