A Jew is a person who practices the religion of Judaism.  Jew does not mean a descendant of ancient Israyl.  The ancient Hebrews were not called Jews.  That is a mistranslation.  Jew is not a Hebrew word; it is English.  Jew is a word that was created by Gentiles and given to the Israylite tribe of Yahudah (Judah).  Yah, the Most High, did not give His people the name of Jew.  This was done by men.  Jew is not in the 1611 King James Version (KJV) of the bible.  Neither the ancient Hebrew Israylites nor their descendents are Jews.  But if you practice the religion of Judaism or subscribe to the Jewish culture or traditions, then you can be called a Jew.

NO.  The majority of Israylites do not practice Judaism.  Judaism is not of the scriptures.  Judaism is a religion created by the people known as Jews.  In the scriptures no matter what translation you use, you will not find the word, Judaism, mentioned. Yah did not give Israyl a religion called Judaism.  He gave us His laws, statutes, commandments, and judgments, and told us to obey them.  Once we as Israylites are redirected to our Might One, we will follow the direction He has laid out for us in the scripture.  Jews will be the first to admit that Judaism is not of the scripture.  It is from their rabbis.  That is why it is known as Rabbinic Judaism, which consists of several branches: Orthodox, Reform, Conservation, and Hasidic.  We are not Jews, so we do not follow Judaism.

YES AND NO.  Israylites have been split on this question for centuries.  Israyl was split on this question when the Messiyah walked the earth.  Today you have some of Israyl that do not believe in the Messiyah.  They do not believe the one written about in the scriptural book called the New Testament is the promised Messiyah.  Then you have some that do not believe the Messiyah has come and they do not believe one is coming.

We address this issue in both our article, 11 Questions to Non-Messianics, and our open letter, Message to Non-Messianics.

Then you have Israylites that do believe in a Messiyah.  We are accounted among this group.  We believe the one written about in the so-called New Testament, whose true name is Yahoshua Ben Yah (Yahoshua the son of Yah), is the Hebrew Messiyah. Some of Israyl do believe in the Messiyah and some do not.  Even among those who do not, there exists a slight separation of what they believe about the Messiyah.  This can also be found among the ones who do believe.  There is not one universal belief about the Messiyah among Hebrew Israylites...yet. 

A true Israylite neither hates preachers nor is a racist.  That would be going against the words of the Creator.  Israyl cannot be a people filled with hatred.  Our whole duty for being chosen is to take the word of the Most High to ALL the nations on the earth so they can get salvation.  This is explained more thoroughly in our lesson, The Duty of the Chosen People.  In fact, in a short time many of us will lose our lives trying to complete this task.

We are coming to you in an attempt to install the truth in you so that your soul can be deemed worthy IS LOVE.  If we were hate filled or hated preachers we would just sit back and watch you perish in your sins.  You cannot be a servant of the Most High and hate those whom He has called you to teach.  The Hebrew scriptures (old and new testaments) are not about hate, and any true Hebrew who loves the scripture, Yah, and Yah's people does not practice any form of hate teachings.  Quite the contrary, as a true Hebrew teaches the uncut word of Yah, the truth of the scriptures. 

No.  Again, a true Hebrew does not hate men for the sake of hating or because of their skin color.  Hebrews teach against the doctrinal lies in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, but we do not hate the people.  We hate the lies as ALL lies stem from the mouth of Satan, the adversary.  He is the father of lies.

John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Israyl will be regathered and returned back to Israyl when the Messiyah returns.  Luke 21:24 states that Israyl shall be in the land of our captivity until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.  The times of the Gentiles (or Europeans) will be fulfilled when Yahoshua comes back.  He will regather scattered Israyl upon his arrival—those whom the Most High has found worthy—and return them to the land.  Genesis 15:13 • 400 Years in a Foreign Land gives more insight into Israyl's exhile and return to Yahrushalom (Jerusalem).

Yah, the Most High, has provided in scripture the ONLY identifying mark to tell who the true Israylites are in the latter days.  He did not say because you have a certain sized nose or a certain head shape that this makes you an Israylite.  No.  The Most High said the curses, found in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, are the identifying mark.  Whatever people are suffering the curses in its entirety are the true Israylites.

This site has proven that the so-called black man and woman of the western hemisphere who were brought to this part of the world as captives in the bottom of slave ships fit the full description of Israyl.  Any other people who are claiming Israylite heritage MUST fit the FULL description of Israyl in the latter days.  The living conditions of THE JEWS, INDIANS, ARABS, GENTILES (EUROPEANS), ETC., must resemble the so-called black people of the west.  See The Curses lesson or documentary to learn more. 

Of course you are still Hebrew.  The majority of our blood remains Hebrew.  As explained in the previous question, the curses are the dividing factor in determining what people or nations are Israylites.  The scriptures give a strong indication that whomever is born through the seed of an Israylite man or through the womb of an Israylite woman is an Israylite.  The following are two prime examples:

Example #1: What made Yahoshua, the Messiyah, an Israylite?

Yahoshua, the Messiyah, was an Israylite but he had no earthly father.  So what made him an Israylite?  He was born through the womb of an Israylite woman.  We cannot say he was an Israylite because Yah is an Israylite.  Yah is not an Israylite.  He is the Father or Mighty One of Israyl.  Yahoshua's coming through an Israylite woman made him an Israylite.  Again, the scripture seems to indicate that whomever comes through Israyl, through the seed of a Hebrew man or womb of a Hebrew woman is an Israylite.

Romans 9:4 - Who are Israylites: to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of Yah, and the promises;

v. 5 - Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Messiyah came, who is over all, Yah blessed for ever. Amein.

Example #2: When our ancestral sisters were being raped on the plantations by Gentile slavemasters, what happened to those children that were born unto them?

They were thrown out into the fields to suffer the curses just as the rest of Israyl.  They were not put on high to live as Gentiles. Remember, Yah is not the author of confusion.  He said the curses are for the Israylites' descendants only.

Deuteronomy 28:45 - Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Yah your Mighty One, to keep his commandments and his statues which he commanded thee:

v. 46 - And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed (decendants) for ever.

History proves those children born between Hebrew women and Gentile slavemasters suffered the same fate as the rest of Israyl.  They were lynched, taken away from their mothers and given to another people, etc.  THIS is the sign that they were Israylites.  The curses are for a sign and wonder.  

Those children coming through the womb of an Israylite woman made them Israylites, just as it did for the Messiyah, Yahoshua.  Israyl is a special seed.  If an Israylite fathers a child, that child is an Israylite.  Likewise, if an Israylite woman has a child by a Gentile, that child is still an Israylite.  We have proof of that today.  How many bi-racial people (Hebrew and Gentile) have you seen identify themselves as white?  Not many.  Most of them look Hebrew in physical appearance and this is who they are identified with.  They are still considered to be Hebrew. 

Ezekiyl 47:21 - So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israyl.

v. 22 - And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israyl; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israyl.

As previously stated, the majority of our blood is Hebrew.  We as a group on average have 80%-90% of Israylite genes.  Hebrew genes carry the dominant traits, while Gentile genes are recessive.  How is it possible for 10%-20% of recessive genes to outweigh 80%-90% of dominant genes?  It cannot happen.  Let's say Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, George Bush, Sr., Tom Cruise, etc., ALL have a black ancestor who was a slave, but the majority of their ancestors are European not Hebrew.  They may have 97% Gentile blood in their veins, which would make them Gentiles as we can see from their outward appearance.  Would you consider any of them Hebrew or black men?  No.  But more importantly, are they or their people suffering from the curses in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28?  The answer is, no.  So they would not be considered Israylites.

Remember, the curses are for Israylites only.  Israyl must suffer these curses as a nation of people just as we are.  If we are not the descendants of Israyl because of mixed blood then we should not be in this downtrodden state like Israyl as indicated in the scriptures.  If we are Gentiles because we have a little Gentile blood, then why aren't we living and being treated as good as they are?

Deuteronomy 28:46 - And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed (decendants) for ever.

Don't forget, Israyl entered Egypt 70 in number.  They sojourned in that land among the black Egyptians for 430 years.  By the time of the Exodus, there were well over a million Israylites leaving Egypt.  How did they get such a large popuation?  The answer is simple.  They mixed with the Egyptians.

No.  All black-skinned people are not Israylites.  Israyl is just one nation that exists among many.  The Egyptians, Canaanites, Ethiopians, Babylonians, etc., were black-skinned, BUT they were not Israylites.  We have never made that statement on this website.  We have said that the black people in the west are Israylites because we fall under the curses.  There are Israylites throughout Africa and Asia.  To say all black-skinned people are Israylites is like saying all Asians are Chinese or all Europeans are French.  You would never consider that.  It's the same for Israyl.  Only those who suffer the curses are Israylites.  The Israylite movement and doctrine is not a Black Nationalist or Afro Centric movement.  This is a movement of truth, justice, righteousness, salvation, and eternal life in the Kingdom of Yah.

Many ministers are afraid of the truth.  Many of them know this truth but make a conscious decision not to tell it.  They are afraid of what would happen to their congregations if they teach people who they are.  Many Israylites do not want to know the truth.  They would rather sit back and continue to live a lie.  To come back to Yah by accepting the truth that we are Israyl will cause us to give up some things in our lives that are connected to this satanic-inspired world.  We have to give up fornication, unclean food (i.e. pork, shrimp, catfish, etc.), holidays (i.e Christmas, New Years, etc.); we have to rest on the Sabbath, and so forth.  Many ministers know their congregation will leave if they had to change their lifestyle.  If the congregational members leave so does the church money and the minister's lavish lifestyle.

A LOT of ministers are Satanists.  They literally are ministers of Satan.  He uses them to keep Israyl ignorant of the truth.  Very soon many of those ministers are going to have to speak the truth no matter the consequences.  There are others that just don't know the truth.  If the minister doesn't know, how can the congregation know?  We all need to keep them in our prayers and hope that Yah has mercy on their souls. 

There is no such creature in Scripture as a spiritual Israylite.  All men, women, and children who join themselves to the House of Israyl and take hold of the covenant will become Israylites; not spiritual Israylites.  If you are natural born Israylite, you must come back to Yah and His law by accepting the Messiyah.  You are either an Israylite by birth or joining Israyl.

According to scripture, sin is the transgression (breaking) of the law.

1st John 3:4 - Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

The laws of Yah can be found in the first five books of scripture which is known as Torah or instructions: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.  They are also known as the books of Moses because he, with instruction from Yah, taught the Israylites the laws, which include the 10 commandments, dietary laws, etc.

No.  Absolutely not, as proven in the above question, "What is Sin?"  If there is no law then there can be no sin.  If there is no sin then there can be no judgment.  The laws are what deem men as righteous or wicked.  Nowhere in scripture are the laws done away with.  Yahoshua, the Messiyah, never done away with the laws.  Yah never did away with His laws.

Matthew 5:17 - Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

v. 18 - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

v. 19 - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Nothing shall pass from the law until ALL is fulfilled.  All have not been fulfilled yet, so the law is still with us.  Christians and other religions make the grave mistake of teaching the law is no more.  THAT is one of the greatest satanic lies being told today.  In fact, you cannot love the Most High without keeping His commandments and laws.

John 14:15 - If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 15:10 - If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

You have no truth or righteousness if you do not have Yah's laws.  Yah cannot become wise without the laws of Yah.  

Psalms 119:142 - Thy righteousness is an everlasting, and thy law is the truth.

v. 151 - Thou art near, O Yah; and all thy commandments are truth.

v. 171 - My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

v. 172 - My tongue shall speak fo thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

v. 173 - Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

v. 174 - I have longed for thy salvation, O Yah; and thy law is my delight.

Without the laws and commandments you have no truth, righteousness, or love for the Most High.  You are a sinner, and the wages of sin is death.

The laws are what made both our father, Abraham, righteous and King Solomon wise. 

Genesis 26:5: Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Deuteronomy 4:5 - Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as Yah my Mighty One commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

v. 6 - Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

v.7 - For what nation is there so great, who hath Yah so nigh unto them, as Yah our Mighty One is in all things that we call upon him for?

v.8 - And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

To you Christians, the New Testament did not change any of this. The law was good yesterday, and it still is today.

No.  When the Messiyah walked the earth over 2,000 years ago, the name, Jesus, was not in existence.  The Messiyah was a Hebrew Israylite from the tribe of Judah.  He lived as a Hebrew with a Hebrew name given to him from the Father, Yah.  The name, Jesus, is English.  There is no "J" or "J" equivalent in in the Hebrew language.  Jesus is not the English translation of the Messiyah's Hebrew name.  Jesus is a name created by men not the Most High.  His name is Yahoshua, which means, "Yah's salvation" or "salvation of Yah."  His name states who he is along with his mission.  He is salvation.  The very belief on his name can give you salvation.

Acts 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 2:23 - Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

John 20:31 - But these are written, that ye might believe that Yahoshua is the Messiyah, the Son of Yah; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

John 1:12 - But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of Yah, even to them that believe on his name:

Acts 3:16 - And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see aand know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Acts 10:43 - To him give all the prophets withness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 

The name of the Messiyah is very important.  You cannot get around it.  You have to call upon him by his Yah-given, Hebrew name.  As stated in Acts 4:12, no other name can be a substitute including so-called translations.  Only his true name given from Heaven, which can be spoken in every language, is key to your salvation.  There is no need for a translation.  In our audio lesson, The True Messiyah Revealed, we fully explain the name, mission, image, and truth of the Messiyah.

Even though Jesus is in the King James Version (KJV) that does not mean it is not a mistranslation.  The name, Jesus, did not appear in the original 1611 KJV because the letter "J" was not yet in widespread use.  Many of the newer bibles have corrected that mistake.  Some, such as The Scriptures, use the Messiyah's true Hebraic name, Yahoshua. 

How can Jesus be the true name when it did not exist until 15-17 centuries AFTER the Messiyah's earthly mission?  Remember, it was neither in existence during ancient times nor at the original translation of the KJV of the bible. 

No.  There is no excuse for you to continue to walk in ignorance after you've received the truth.  Jesus is not the name of the Messiyah.  You have to call upon the Messiyah by his true name.

John 3:16 - For Yah so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

I've heard many people who do not want to use the Messiyah's Hebrew name use this scripture to justify their actions.  Scripture does say whosoever believes in the sone of Yah shall have everlasting life.  But what is that belief based on?  What about the Messiyah do you have to believe?  The answer is given below as follows.

John 3:18 - He believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of Yah.

Scripture says you are condemned already if you do not believe on the name of the only begotten son of Yah.  You have to believe in Yah's salvation, Yahoshua.  Your belief is based on his true name, which tells us who he is and informs us of his mission.  Jesus is a vain name that means nothing.  As you've seen from the previous question, "Is the Messiyah's Name Jesus?" the name, Jesus, was not in existence when the 1611 King James Version (KJV) came about.  What did they call the Messiyah in ancient times?  Remember, they were Hebrews and spoke the Hebrew language.  They did not speak English because English was not invented yet.  The answer is simple: the people of that day called the Messiyah by his Hebrew name.

Scripture even shows that he told Apostle Paul his name in Hebrew. 

Acts 26:14 - And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saing in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?  it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

v. 15 - And I said, Who art thou, Master?  And he said, I am Yahoshua whom thou persecutest.

Yahoshua spoke to and said his name to Paul in Hebrew—not Greek or English, but Hebrew.  Paul was bilingual as he knew the Greek language (Acts 21:38).  So why didn't Yahoshua give him a Greek translation of his name?  Because there is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.  A Greek name would be another name just like an English name is another name.  

Again, the Messiyah's name is Yahoshua.

Lastly, there are serious consequences for you if you continue to call on the name of the pagan god, Jesus, as he is the pagan god of the pagan religion, Christianity.  The scripture clearly states that if we continue to sin after receiving knowledge of the truth there remains no more sacrifice for our sins.

Hebrews 10:26 - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 

You cannot continue to use that name after you understand that it is false.  The Father will guide you if you are seeking truth.  He will expose the lie and reveal the truth.  However, it's up to you to accept or reject it.  If you reject the truth, the Father knows your heart is full of deceit.  He knows all of our hearts and who will either accept or reject His truth. 

Yes.  The salvation of the world will depend on them knowing who true Israyl is.  It is scriptural prophecy that the entire world will not only know who we are, but will look to us to teach them about Yah.

Zephaniyah 3:19 - Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

v. 20 - At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith YAH.

Zechariyah 8:23 - Thus saith YAH of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is an Israylite, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that YAH is with you.

Our identity has been covered up for so long because it is based on truth and the world hates truth.  Satan knows that when Israyl is fully awakened his time is up.  Yah said that we would lose our identity as part of our punishment.  Everything is done is His timeframe according to His will.  Yah is the sole reason why we lost our identity.  If He didn't want us to lose it we wouldn't.  He controls all things.  But as scripture tells us, our enemies, through Satan, has had a hand in the cover-up (see Psalms 83).  In Psalms 83 we are called the hidden ones.  Our identity is hidden to the enitre world.  These are the days spoken of in prophecy concerning our regathering.  The time is now for Israyl to come back to Yah.  HalleluYah.

The term, Messianic, refers to those who believe in the true Hebrew Messiyah.  Those Israylites that Yahoshua Ben Yah spoken of in the scriptures is the Messiyah are called Messianic.  It is a title that is used mainly to distinguish those who believe in the Messiayah from those who do not.  

There are other Israylites who use the title, Messianic, but they do not believe Yahoshua Ben Yah is the true Messiyah.  This group worships men as the Messiyah.  The African Hebrew Israylites of Jerusalem aka The Kingdom of God for example, see their leader, Ben Ammi Ben Israel, as the Messiyah.  Another example is a group of Israylites from Florida that worship a man going by the name of Yahweh Ben Yahweh as the promised Hebrew Messiyah.

Nevertheless, the majority of Israylites that identify themselves as Messianic believe that Yahoshua is the true Messiyah.

We believe that he came to Israyl over 2,000 years ago, and was only sent to lost sheep of the House of Israyl (Matthew 15:10 & 10:6).  He came to redeem the true Israylites and set us back down the path of truth.  Many Israylites do not believe that he is Yah, the Father.  We believe, as scripture teaches, that he is the son of Yah, the lamb of Yah, our High Priest, our intercessor, our sacrifice, our road back to Yah. 

A Non-Messianic is the opposite of a Messianic Hebrew Israylite.  The term, Non-Messianic, is applied to Hebrew Israylites who do not believe Yahoshua Ben Yah, spoken of in scripture, is the promised Hebrew Messiyah.  Many in this group do not believe our Messiyah has come, but a messiyah is coming.  Then another half do not believe a Messiyah has come or is coming.

If you or someone you know is a Non-Messianic Hebrew Israylite, we strongly encourage you to read our open letter, Message to Non-Messianic Israylites.
