Where Is Israel?
Today people everywhere claim to be "saved" yet ignore GOD'S Commandments, His Statutes, and His Judgments. So, are they really "saved"? (Ezekiel 14:12-21; Amos 9:9-10).
Others claim to be "Israel" while ignoring GOD'S marriage laws, His Testimony, man's practices, and history (II Kings 17:22-23).
Still others falsely claiming to be Israel: have killed, killed, and killed; dwell on stolen property -- seized with force, threats, and guns; have subjugated their victims -- holding them in economic bondage and oppression; etc. (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 20:13,17; Revelation 13:10; Jeremiah 22:1-9; Isaiah 33:1; etc.).
Few, pay heed to Scripture such as:
1. "Ye shall not add unto the word which I (GOD) command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your GOD which I command you"
(Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:5-6; Matthew 5:17-19; Revelation 22:18-19).2. GOD'S laws apply to everyone. That is, GOD'S moral laws were set forth in the very beginning for everyone to obey and, many years later -- during the Egyptian Exodus, GOD reiterated them through Moses (Exodus 12:49; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:15-16,29-31; 9:14; Deuteronomy 30:1-10; Isaiah 56:1-8; 8:16,20; Proverbs 28:9; Matthew 5:17-19; Galatians 3:28-29; John 1:1-10; Revelation 19:13). Yet, sin is the transgression of the law. And "He that committeth sin is of the Devil..." (I John 3:4-11).
So in these latter days, when severe troubles come upon people, many will pay heed and seek to obey the Word of GOD. "That then the LORD thy GOD will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy GOD hath scattered thee:" (Deuteronomy 30:1-3; Isaiah 56:1-8; Leviticus 26:1-14; Hosea 1:10-11; II Chronicles 7:14; Nehemiah 1:8-9).
And "all the nations" refer to the glitter and glory of ancient Babylon and Pharaonic Egypt, the whoredom of Sodom and Gomorrah, the brutality of ancient Assyria, the mercantile domain of Tyre and Damascus, etc.
Yes, sex with a virgin is still the consummation of a marriage under GOD. It is the ultimate marriage act! Thereafter, the man and woman are forever bound to each other if they are amongst the righteous! And a woman has one virginity and therefore can have only one true husband; but, a man may enter several virgins and therefore have several legitimate wives under GOD.
Oh, yes, GOD has betrothal laws -- up to a seven year temporary marriage wherein the husband or groom has three options or the maiden must be set free from her obligations in the seventh year if the husband fails to exercise either of his three options (Exodus 21:7-11).
Man, of course, has substituted his "engagement" for GOD'S betrothal. And man has "sanctified" marriage to another man's wife; yet, it's whoredom in the eyes of GOD. So disobedient man has instituted many substitutions for GOD'S laws and His testimony.
Note: GOD'S laws provide that if a husband dies a wife (the widow) may remarry to raise heirs unto her dead husband. The wife then is called a concubine, a pseudo wife, to her second husband and her legitimate children, under GOD, belong to the first husband even though he is dead (Ruth 4:10; Genesis 38:8-9; Deuteronomy 25:5-10).
Remember, the harlot in Scripture is symbolized by the "Canaanitish woman." Again, except for the faithful concubine, the married woman (a non virgin) who gives herself to others, other than her true husband, is referred as a "Canaanitish woman," a harlot. And both Abraham and Isaac clearly admonished -- Don't marry a Canaanitish woman (a harlot) (Genesis 24:3,37; 28:1,6). Remember, Esau took "Canaanitish" wives (harlots) which were a grief to Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 26:34-35). Later Judah took a Canaanite to wife (Genesis 38:2) and eventually Judah went into Tamar, Er's wife, which was whoredom both under GOD'S laws and in man's eyes. Therefore, both Pharez and Zerah, the twins begotten, were termed "mamzer" (bastards) as were Er, Onan, and Shelah (Genesis 38:3-5,15-30). So, Judah had neither legitimate children nor legitimate heirs (Malachi 2:10-12) but instead his name, "Judah," has been applied in Scripture to the Sixth Kingdom of this world (the Kingdom of Judah) which has reigned ever since Solomon. Yes, people have been living under the One-World Government of "Judah" and most have never known it.
David, of course, went in unto Bathsheba in whoredom and the child begotten thereby was smitten and died. Uriah the Hittite, Bathsheba's true husband, was then murdered per David's instructions to Joab. David then took Bathsheba as his legitimate concubine as Uriah was now dead. The second child then begotten was Solomon, the seed of David but the legitimate son and heir of Uriah the Hittite, the lineage of Heth son of the cursed Canaan (II Samuel 11:1 thru 12:25; Ruth 4:10; Genesis 38:8-9; Deuteronomy 25:5-10).
Thus, when Solomon ascended to David's throne (Jeremiah 22:2), the throne over Israel was quietly transferred unto the Canaanites, the children of the cursed Canaan, who have reigned over this disobedient world as the Sixth Kingdom (Judah) from Solomon unto these latter days when the Seventh Kingdom displaced the Sixth (Revelation 17:10-11; Micah 5:5).
Solomon's Children then became both: the "ancient nation" (goyim) afflicting this disobedient world (Jeremiah 5:15-17); and, the "little horn" (power) that came up amongst and displaced the three southern tribes of Israel (Benjamin, Levi, and those who called themselves Judah) (Daniel 7:8,11,20-24; 8:9).
Meanwhile, four years after Solomon's death Shishak, King of Egypt, came north with a great army and attacked 150 towns of Israel, taking many captive and thus injecting the Israelite lineage into the black races of Africa (II Chronicles 12:2-9; I Kings 14:25-26; Also see Shishak's secular record on the south wall of the Temple of Amon in Karnak, Egypt).
After raids by Shishak, the Philistines, the Assyrians, Edomites, and others -- Jeroboam took the remaining Ten Tribes of Israel north across the Caucasus Mountains to cities of Dan and to where settlements had been established by the early Phoenicians, Abraham's children. Thus, the Ten Tribes became the Scythians, the Cimmerians, and the Sarmations (the lost tribes wandering the Asian steppes while dwelling in perpetual darkness, i.e. without the Glory of GOD). Then, from along the Volga Valley, the Ten Tribes dispersed to traverse: further eastward into China, southward into Persia and India, northward into central Asia and Scandinavia, and westward into Europe and the Americas. Eventually, the Ten Tribes became well integrated into all peoples of the then known world even becoming the Huns (c. 450 AD) and later (c. 1225 AD) the Mongols raiding their fellow man. And today no one knows who's who especially when considering GOD'S marriage laws and man's practices (Jeremiah 31:27; Amos 9:9-10; Micah 5:1-4; Hosea 5:6,15).
The Scriptures are obviously written as people understood matters often incorporating man's laws and ways in lieu of GOD'S laws -- His Commandments, Statutes, and Judgments. However, when one applies GOD'S laws the picture frequently becomes quite different.
For example, the use of the name "Judah" to represent the Sixth Kingdom of this disobedient world gives the great allusion that the children of Solomon are indeed Judah's heirs. In the negative sense they are; however, if one applies GOD'S laws then Solomon's children are Canaanites, the cursed lineage of Canaan.
Note that King David is even referred to as a Judahite and King of Judah again applying the name "Judah" to represent this disobedient world. However, if one applies GOD'S marriage laws and pays heed to Scripture, David is an Ephrathite of the lineage of Ephraim, the blessed son and heir of Joseph (Genesis 48:15-20; 49:1,22-26; Exodus 4:22; Jeremiah 31:9; I Chronicles 5:1-2).
Again, if we apply GOD'S marriage laws to events: Mahlon, an Ephrathite, died (Ruth 1:2,5). His wife, Ruth formerly a Moabitess, was taken as a Concubine, a pseudo wife, by Boaz (seventh in the lineage of Pharez, Judah's bastard son via Tamar) to raise heirs unto Mahlon (Ruth 4:10,18-21). Thus, Ruth's child, Obed, begat Jessee "that Ephrathite," and Jessee begat David (Ruth 4:22; I Samuel 17:12).
Therefore, until people commence to obey and recognize the truth, the great charades continue that the disobedient, the blind, cannot see the truth.
