If Germany had known of the Two House Reality, there would have been NO Jewish Holocaust

I’m convinced that millions have perished and many more millions are going to perish because of ignorance of the promises of יהוה and their historical fulfillment. You see, יהוה promised a “multitude of nations” to a man named Abraham. That promise was then passed down to Isaac, and then to Jacob, and then to Joseph, and then to Ephraim (verify it here). And it just so happens that many (not all) of those multitudes migrated into Europe before and during a time known as the Great Migration Period. And yes, the bulk of Europe and even Germany is made up of this people.

So I ask myself now in utter horror: Would the Jewish Holocaust have happened had the Germans been accurately aware of who and where they came from? Would the ridiculous Nuremberg Laws have ever had a basis for formation and consideration in the years leading up to World War II? Would the German Christian population have turned a blind eye if they had known it was their own brother, the House of Judah (Jew da), who was being exterminated by racist mad men?

You see, I know much of the German and European population is Israelite because of modern Population Genetics, a science which was barely conceivable in the 20’s and 30’s of the previous century. And I also know that the entire human race is 99.8% genetically identical because of modern genetics. There is no such thing as “races”. There is only ONE human race. And the German population is not superior, nor is any population more superior genetically than any other segment of this ONE human race.

Unfortunately, the pessimist in me is assured that much of the human race still harbors ancient and ignorant racist ideals and they’ll likely explode in ever more violent and bloody manifestations in the years to come. Much of the world is still unaware of the Two House Reality in which much of that world fits. יהוה was right, as He is always right, when He said “My people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). “Jacob’s Trouble” only started with the Jews. It will continue in due time and it will consume the whole House of Joseph as well (Jeremiah 30:7).

יהוה, send Your Messiah soon… for the coming cup of trembling is more than we can drink!!

Sadly, some think the House of Judah has another Holocaust coming. See The Holocaust that was and the Holocaust that will be.

The Parthian Empire, hidden from our eyes?

Watch the video below and then notice how it jumps from the Roman Empire, to the Byzantine Empire, and then to the Sassanid (Second Persian) Empire. Hmmm… what happened to the Parthian Empire? Not mentioning Parthia at the same time as the rise and fall of the Roman Empire is like discussing the history of the Soviet Union without mentioning the United States of America. It is a deceptively unbalanced portrayal of ancient history.

My question is why? Why do historians so frequently brush over Parthia like it was a little blimp on the radar just before the Persians regained control over the region. PEOPLE, the Parthian Empire existed for almost 500 years!!!! And the Romans and Parthians kicked the tar out of each other on numerous occasions. Neither were ever able to cross the Euphrates River and hold the other’s territory for any enduring period. Why the censorship of Parthia?

Flavius Josephus is the key!

According to Flavius Josephus: “…the entire body of the people of Israel remained in that country; wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond Euphrates till now [Parthia], and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers.” -Flavius Josephus: “…the entire body of the people of Israel remained in that country; wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond Euphrates till now [Parthia], and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers.” -Antiquities of the Jews (Book X Ch.9)

Parthia is dismissed and/or diminished in history not only because we live in a Roman-centric dominated world, but also because the Parthian Empire was made up of Israelite populations from those taken captive to the same region by the Assyrians several hundred years prior.

Steven Collin’s book Parthia: The Forgotten Ancient Superpower is well worth the read.

What if I’m NOT an Israelite?

After reading through some of the articles and blogs on this site and other places (hopefully your Bible), you may be asking yourself: “What if I’m not an Israelite? Where do I fit into the big picture?”

The verses that follow are listed in the hope that you’ll begin to realize that being Israelite isn’t just about physical, genetic descent from Jacob, although that is an important part. It just isn’t the ONLY part. You should see soon that the Most High, Elohim (God) of Israel isn’t a racist Elohim. He isn’t a respecter of persons, but He does respect the ways of certain persons who showed exceptional trust in Him (i.e. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph). Thus He also respects the promises He made to them, but that doesn’t mean He made their DNA more superior.

Ezekiel 37 reads:
15 “And the word of יהוה came to me, saying,
16 “And you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the House of Israel, his companions.’”
17 “Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall become one in your hand.”
18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’”
19 “say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick,” and they shall be one in My hand.” ‘”
20 “And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.”
21 “And speak to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the gentiles, wherever they have gone, and shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land.”
22 “And I shall make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one sovereign shall be sovereign over them all, and let them no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns.”
23 “And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, nor with their disgusting matters, nor with any of their transgressions. And I shall save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I shall cleanse them. And they shall be My people, and I be their Elohim,”
24 “while David My servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all have one shepherd and walk in My right-rulings and guard My laws, and shall do them.”

Intriguing isn’t it? There is David (believed here to be a figurative reference to Messiah by many) uniting both Houses, Joseph and Judah, in an End Times scenario. BUT… no mention of a “church”. Instead, only the descendants of Israel (Jacob) and their companions. You’ll be hard pressed to find “church” any where in the Torah or the Prophets or even in the Greek New Testament. Instead in the NT, you’ll find the Greek word “Ekklesia”, which is almost always translated as “assembly” when compared with the Greek translations (i.e. LXX) of the Tanakh (Old Testament). Even so, that is a distraction for another day. Back to my main thrust. Seeing “companions” should mean alot to you if you’re certain you’re not Hebrew, but desire to attach yourself to the Elohim of the Hebrews and thus His people.

Critically important verses to consider when regarding the relationship of non-Israelites with native-born Israelites:

Exodus 12:37-38
37 And the children of Israel set out from Rameses to Sukkoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones.
38 And a mixed multitude went up with them too, also flocks and herds, very much livestock.

Ezekiel 47:21-23
21 “So you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22 “You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the aliens who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 “And in the tribe with which the alien stays, there you shall give him his inheritance,” declares יהוה Elohim.

Isaiah 14:1
1 When יהוה will have compassion on Jacob and again choose Israel, and settle them in their own land, then strangers will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob.

Zechariah 2:11-12
11 And many nations [compare with Genesis 48:19] shall be joined to יהוה in that day, and they shall become my people [compare Hosea 1:9-11 2:23]. And I shall dwell in your midst. And you shall know that יהוה of hosts has sent Me to you.
12 And יהוה shall inherit Judah, His portion in the Set-apart Land. And He shall again choose Jerusalem.

Isaiah 56:6-8
6 Also the sons of the alien, that join themselves to יהוה, to minister unto him and to love the name of יהוה, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast to my covenant;
7 even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.
8 The Master יהוה, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith: Yet will I gather [others] to him, with those of his that are gathered.

What happened to the Lost 10 Tribes of Israel? (Part-2)

First read: What happened to the lost tribes of Israel? Part 1

In Steven M. Collin’s Lost Tribes of Israel book series, he describes many of the locations which were settled by the Ten Tribes of Israel prior to, during, and after the Assyrian invasions of the Northern Kingdom. In an article on his website where he connects the Scythians to Israelites, he shows yet another possible location for which the House of Joseph (10-Israel) settled:

While it is this author’s belief that groups of migrating Israelites went to a number of diverse locations, the Bible does give us evidence that most of the exiled Israelites migrated generally to the north and east of the old Promised Land. II Kings 15:29 states that the Gileadite tribes and the tribe of Naphtali were “carried…captive to Assyria.” The Assyrian Empire was located to the east of the kingdom of Israel, so these tribes were carried eastward into Asia. When the inhabitants of Samaria were carried captive, II Kings 17:6 states they were transplanted to the regions of Halah, Habor and the cities of the Medes. Media was long identified with the region south of the Caspian Sea, which was in a somewhat northeastern direction from Samaria, but it was still mostly eastward. The apocryphal book of II Esdras (13:39-46) records that many members of the ten tribes escaped from the Assyrians and migrated independently to a land called “Arzareth.” Secular evidence indicates that this was in the region of the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains.

Lets read and confirm what II Esdras 13 says:

[39] And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him;
[40] Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.
[41] But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
[42] That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
[43] And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
[44] For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
[45] For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
[46] Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,
[47] The Highest shall stay the springs of the stream again, that they may go through: therefore sawest thou the multitude with peace.
[48] But those that be left behind of thy people are they that are found within my borders.
[49] Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend his people that remain.
[50] And then shall he shew them great wonders.

There is much debate regarding “where Arzareth is”. My first question after reading this passage was this: Would it take a year and a half to migrate from Israel to a land now known as the Ukraine (ancient Scythia as it was known to the Greeks)? In my mind at first, it was a bit doubtful, even with a large multitude. Japan, Siberia, and/or the Americas (via Beringia) is still more compelling as a possible distance requiring a year and a half’s journey, but as a semi-comparison, it took about 5 months for the Jews (Judah) to return from Babylon to the Land of Israel (Ezra 7:8-9). It does take time to migrate with large populations in harsh conditions, and the Ukraine is quite a distance to travel on foot with women, children, and livestock.

Even so, Native American men are largely made up of Haplogroup Q and there is strong evidence that Hg. R and Hg. Q (brother haplogroups) made up the male population of Scythian-Saka-related peoples. Hg. Q most certainly dwelt in Scythian-Saka territory prior to moving into the Americas. I myself am Hg. Q1*, but my ancestors came to America much latter via Europe, not Siberia.

Whether or not II Esdras is an accurate or partially accurate telling of where many Israelites migrated to, it isn’t known with any real certainty. The book wasn’t included in the canon of scripture, but that doesn’t mean it is void of truth or some semblance of truth and/or a prophetic reality, especially when compared with other evidence. And also, is the English translation of II Esdras itself an accurate translation and representation of the original?

Regardless, what is most intriguing to me is how Esdras portrays this particular body of Israelites. They decided to leave the “multitude of heathen” …or in other words: they left the wicked, pagan multitude… which actually could have been the wicked, pagan multitude of the rest of Israel (which is why they were scattered and deported in the first place). So… a body of Israelites may indeed have left the larger body of Israel. That wouldn’t have been the first time. But continuing with the idea that a righteous group of Israelites left a multitude of heathen for a country never inhabited leads me personally to think of “the Americas”. Yet, lets ask something else: is there any archaeological evidence in the Americas that a Hebrew speaking people desired and walked in some form of Mosaic “righteousness”? Well… YES!!! There is such evidence. If you’ve never read about the Paleo-Hebrew Los Lunas Inscription of the Ten Commandments found in New Mexico, please check it out here: Los Lunas Inscriptions.

Collins continues:

A Medieval Jewish historian named Eldad is cited as the source of a report that at the time of the fall of Samaria, the ten tribes of Israel “evaded the calamity, going off with their flocks, and turning nomads, and that the chief…whom they appointed could muster 120,000 horse and 100,000 foot.” To be escorted by 220,000 soldiers, the main body of escaping Israelites must have numbered well over a million people. The Black Sea region to which they are reputed to have escaped is almost straight north of the old kingdom of Israel. The Bible has an account which indicates that Eldad’s report is factual. In Jeremiah 3, God sent a message of reconciliation to the ten tribes of Israel even as he proclaimed that the end of the kingdom of Judah was near. These messages to Israel and Judah were given approximately a century after the ten tribes went into exile. It is most noteworthy that God told Jeremiah that the message to the ten tribes (i.e. “Israel”) should be sent to the north. God knew where the ten tribes were a century after their exile and he told Jeremiah that they lived “to the north” of Jeremiah’s location in Jerusalem. Draw a line northward from Jerusalem and you will come to the Black Sea region, exactly where ancient sources place a large body of migrating Israelites. The people living in that region were known as “Scythian” or “Sacae” tribes. Were these the Israelite tribes?

I do agree with Collins that the Scythian-Saka population was Israelite-ish. Yet, I’m just not completely convinced that the modern Ukrainian region is what was once called “Arsareth”, but for now, all we can really provide is speculation.
