Many
are unknown of the fact that there's a difference between Israel
and Jews.
The
people of Israel exists out of the 12 tribes, named after the 12
sons of Jacob (who later was named Israel by God). Later on they
split up and the Bible then makes a difference between the "house
of Israel" and the "house of Judah" (the so called
Jews). The "house of Israel" exists out of 10 tribes who
later were taken away from the promised land Canaan/Palestine. Later
on they moved into the so called "heathen world" in which
up to this very day, they are hidden (often without knowing it by
themselves). It is especially in the ‘Christian’ countries
of Northwest Europe, and the countries whereto many of them have
emigrated out of Northwest Europe like America, Canada and Australia.
The “house of Judah” is the kingdom of 2 tribes, namely
the people of Judah and Benjamin, which in the days of Jesus lived
in the promised land of Canaan/Palestine. The “house of Judah”
(the so called Jews) is the part of Israel where the hardening took
place (see Roman 11:25)
Israel now-a-days (the 2 tribes of the house of Judah in particular)
claims her rights over Palestine. Historical rights, rights mentioned
in the Bible. When the time comes and the prophetical words will
be fulfilled than, without a doubt, the whole of Israel (all 12
tribes) will be in possession of all of Palestine and the city of
Jerusalem (see Genesis 15:18). According to God's promise all Abraham's
descendants will live in the land of
Canaan. This land stretches out from the creek of Egypt (a little
river east of the Nile) unto the river Eufraat. To us these signs
tells us that we are living in the "end time' close to the
Second Coming of Jesus. That's why especially now-a-days its important
to see what the Bible tells us about these things.
The next study will be about this prophecy and others.
- Thou,
people of Israel, wake up!!
