Scholars and "bible experts" say the name Jew was only applied to the tribe of Judah (Yahudah in the Hebrew). So, Moses could not have been a Jew because he was from the tribe of Levi making him a Levite.

 

Numbers 26:59  And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

IThose that were from the tribe of Yahudah were known as Yahudites in Hebrew or Judahites in English, not Jews, and Yahudites only made up 1/12th of the nation of Israyl.

JEW / JEWS /JEWISH

 

The name "JEW" is not a Hebrew word, it's English. There is no letter "J" or "J" equivalent in the Hebrew language. As a matter of fact, the letter "J" is one of the last letters to be added to the English alphabet. It was created in the 1600's in France, so there was not a letter "J" in existence during biblical times. In English, Jew means, those who practice a religion called Judaism. Since the ancient Hebrews didn't practice a religion called Judaism, the name Jew could not refer to the biblical children of Israyl or their modern day descendants.

ISRAELI


The word "ISRAELI" is not mentioned in scripture. Israeli only refers to a citizen or resident living in the modern "STATE" of Israel. Israeli does not mean a descendant of Jacob, (Yaaqob in Hebrew) whose name was changed to Israyl (Genesis 32:28).

 

Genesis 32:28  And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israyl: for as a prince hast thou power with Yah and with men, and hast prevailed.

 

An Israeli and an Israylite are two different things.

I'

     SEMITE

Neither can the word "SEMITE" be found in the bible. The biblical Israylites were Hebrews descendants from Shem, (Noah's son) through Abraham and through his son Isaac and through Isaac's son Jacob (Yaaqob / Israyl). Israyl had 12 sons who were all Hebrews.

 

Deuteronomy 29:13  That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

 

Neither Noah, Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob gave birth to a son named Seme or Sem. This means that the Semites could not be descendants of Abraham, Isaac, or Israyl. So it follows that they could not be Israylites, according to scripture.

 

The Hebrews could be called children of Shem to designate that they are descendants from Noah's son Shem, but not Semite, that is not a proper term in reference to the Israylites.

Semite is of relative recent origin. It comes from the 18th century (along with the word Jew). One of its uses was to designate those who spoke a certain language, such as Syrian, Hebrew, and Arabic. The name was given an extra meaning later, to include all those people who were "SUPPOSED" to be descendants of Noah's son Shem (not Sem). Over the years, Semite has come to mean Jew and Jew only. So in modern day terminology Semite is synonymous with Jew or Jews.  If the Jews are Semites, which they claim to be, this means they are not descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Israyl, which means they are not Israylites. Semite is a word made up by deceived men with little understanding of the Bible and should never be used in reference to the biblical Hebrew Israylites. It will only cause further confusion, to an already confused world, and since YAH never refers to Israyl as: JEWS, ISRAELI OR SEMITE, we shouldn't either.

 

 

WHY WE USE HEBREW ISRAYLITE

 

WHY WE USE HEBREW ISRAYLITE


The word Hebrew is an English word translated from the word Ibryi. Hebrew is the English equivalent to the word Ibryi. In the Tanakh, (Old Testament) when Ibriy is mentioned, it's in reference to those who are descendants of Abraham and Isaac. Whenever Hebrew is mentioned in the English translations, it's also in reference to those who are descendants of Abraham and Isaac. Both words carry the same meaning, but are spelled differently because of the different languages they are spoken in.

Hebrews in the United States are an English speaking people. The mass majority of us grew up speaking English, it's our first language. Our first contact with scripture was with the English translation. So since we are an English-speaking people, we use the English words Hebrew and Israylite, which mean the same as Ibryi and Ysrayl.  Many Hebrew Israylites have an understanding of the Hebrew language, and when those who know the language are among each other they use Hebrew. But, when the objective is to reach an English speaking people who are not familiar with the Hebrew language, why attempt to speak to them in a language they won't understand? English-speaking people who are familiar with the bible know of the words Hebrews and Israylites, many of them don't know about Ibriy or Ysrayl.

 

The suffix "ITE" in the name Israylite was added later. Its use in the English translations was to identify descendants of a certain person, tribe or nation, such as the Hittites, Canaanites, Edomites, etc.

 

In the “Old Testament”, whenever Ysrayl is mentioned, it's in reference to those who are descendants of Jacob, or their land.

 

For instance, the ancient Egyptians didn't call their land Egypt, they called it Kemet /Khemet / KMT. The Hebrews called it Mizraim and Pathros, the Greeks called it Aegyptios, and in English it's called Egypt. All these names refer to the same African country, which means they all have the same meaning but are spelled and pronounced according to the language they are spoken in. This is the same with Hebrew and Israylite. Both are spoken and spelled differently than Ibriy and Ysrayl but they carry the same meaning.

THE DUTY OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE

 

The nation of Israyl is known as the chosen people, but scholars and others never say what they are chosen to do. The bible is very clear about the job of Israyl and the reason they were chosen.  The chosen people were chosen for one major reason and that is to bring the rest of the sons of Adam into the truth of YAH.

 

John 4:22  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Israylites.

Acts 13:47  For so hath Yah commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth

 

The Israylites are not the only ones to gain salvation, but it was and is our job to teach the world the truth about the heavenly Father and His laws.

 

This is the reason all the apostles, prophets and The Messiah were Hebrew Israylites. This is also why in Acts 10, the angel of Yah told Cornelius the Italian to go to Peter the Hebrew Israylite, and that he would tell him what he ought to do. Peter taught Cornelius the full law of Yah (Acts 10:33). This angel that told Cornelius to go to Peter could have taught him the law, all angels know the laws of Yah, but he didn't because it is the job of Israyl to teach the world the ways of the Most High. So this angel sent Cornelius to Israyl to learn the law.

 

Exodus 19:6 "AND YOU SHALL BE UNTO ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS, AND AN HOLY NATION. THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH YOU SHALL SPEAK UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAYL."

YAH said he would make Israyl a kingdom of priests, the job of a priest is to minister. If you're a nation of priests, who are you going to minister to? It wouldn't be to your fellow countrymen because they are also priests. Israyl was going to be priests unto the world, and teach the world the commandments and laws of the Creator. This was and still is the original plan. Even at the second coming of Yahoshua, Israyl will be used to bring the world into the truth. As it is written in:

 

Zechariah 8:23, "THUS SAID 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 HIM THAT IS A HEBREW, SAYING, WE WILL GO WITH YOU FOR WE HAVE HEARD THAT YAH IS WITH YOU."

 

Jeremiah 16:19, "O YAH, MY STRENGTH, AND MY FORTRESS, AND MY REFUGE IN THE DAY OF AFFLICTION THE GENTILES SHALL COME UNTO YOU FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, AND SHALL SAY, SURELY OUR FATHERS HAVE INHERITED LIES, VANITY, AND THINGS WHEREIN THERE IS NO PROFITS." 

 

All nations are going to come to the Israylites because at this time the world will have knowledge of who we are and what we are suppose to do. We will be the holders of the keys of salvation.  There are some who are reading this who will say that racial and ethnic grouping doesn't matter any more. We're all "GOD'S CHILDREN" and we are all the same, HE LOVES US ALL. Some will even say that the Most High has cast Israyl away and now have chosen the Gentiles (Christians). Well, lets see what the bible has to say about all this.

 

As I have stated, the job of Israyl is to be the priests of the Most High. This is the reason why we are chosen we are also His servants.

 

Isaiah 41: 8-9, " BUT YOU, ISRAYL, ARE MY SERVANT, JACOB WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN, THE SEED OF ABRAHAM MY FRIEND.

 

(9) YOU WHOM I HAVE TAKEN FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, AND CALLED YOU FROM THE CHIEF MEN THEREOF, AND SAID UNTO YOU, YOU ARE MY SERVANT, I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, AND NOT CAST YOU AWAY."

Israyl is also the servant of The Most High; we are in charge of all the services concerning Yah. One of those services is for us to be priests to the world. Notice that he said he hasn't cast Israyl away, we are still his chosen servants / priests and it is still very important to know who the Israylites are today.

 

Romans 11:1-2, "I SAY THEN, HAVE YAH CAST AWAY HIS PEOPLE? BY NO MEANS. FOR I ALSO AM AN ISRAYLITE, OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN.

 

(2) YAH HAVE NOT CAST AWAY HIS PEOPLE WHICH HE FOREKNEW."

 

This is the apostle Shaul (Paul) letting the Romans know that Israyl is not cast off. He also let them know that he is an Israylite and if Israyl were cast off he would not be ministering to them. Because it is the job of Israyl to be the priests and teach the word.

 

Romans 3:1-4, "WHAT ADVANTAGE HAVE THE HEBREW? OR WHAT PROFIT IS THERE IN CIRCUMCISION?

(2) MUCH IN EVERY WAY: CHIEFLY, BECAUSE THAT UNTO THEM WERE COMMITTED THE ORACLES (word) OF YAH.


Israyl is also the servant of The Most High; we are in charge of all the services concerning Yah. One of those services is for us to be

IIn this verse Shaul (Paul) is once again telling the Romans that the Hebrews are still useful because they are the only nation that Yah has given his holy word to. He has not done so with any other nation. And nowhere in the entire bible does it say that Yah took His word back from Israyl. He took back all of Israyl’s material things, such as land & riches, and gave it unto the Gentiles. But he never took the word back from us. He left that in the hands of Israyl, where it remains to this very day.

 

Throughout biblical times and even now, Israyl had and has become a spiritually dead people. In the past and today, they have become accustomed to mixing the pure worship of YAH with that of pagan idol gods. In the process of doing this they continue to bring more curses down on them, and at the same time have lost the knowledge that Yah has given them.

 

It has become next to impossible for the Israylites to teach the world when they have forgotten what they were suppose to teach. This was the reason for the prophets, all the prophets came to Israyl and told them to repent (change their ways) and return back to Yah. This is the reason Yahoshua came to Israyl, He was not sent to any other people other than the children of Israyl. As it is written in:

Matthew 10:5-6 / 15:24

 

(5) "THESE TWELVE YAHOSHUA SENT FORTH, AND COMMANDED THEM SAYING, GO NOT INTO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES, AND INTO ANY CITY OF THE SAMARITANS ENTER YOU NOT: BUT RATHER GO TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAYL.

 

15:24 BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID, I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAYL."

It doesn't get any clearer than that. The reason he was sent by the Father to the lost sheep of Israyl is because by this time period ("1st century CE) the Israylites were heavily involved into all kinds of corrupt forms of worship, from the temple priest to the average Israylite, they as a nation of people had lost the way of salvation. This wasn't a good thing at all, since they are the chosen priests of Yah.

 

Yahoshua had to come from on high to teach them the correct way of worship and redirect them to the path of peace and righteousness. He never came to start a new religion called Christianity. He came to his own to save them from their sins (John 1:11, Matthew 1:21), And the way to save them from sinning was to show them the correct way to worship, just as Moses had taught them.

 

Yahoshua never went to the Roman authorities, and asked them to stop oppressing the Hebrews. Because he knew the only reason why the Romans had the upper hand over Israyl was because we had turned our backs on Yah. So the curses in Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 were being manifested and the only way to stop them is to turn from breaking the laws.

 

This was his message, "Repent for the Kingdom of YAH is at hand". And if the kingdom is at hand, that only means that the kingdom priests must be at hand also. But the priests are not ready if they are caught up in all kinds of pagan practices, so we must repent first (change our ways), and learn the true way of life and then teach the rest of the sons of Adam. This is our life's mission. We as natural born Israylites must first learn the ways of our Creator, so we can reverse these curses and be restored to our rightful place on this earth.

 

I hope all who read this gain understanding, and if anyone is offended by anything offered here, that was not my intention. However, these are the words of The Creator, and I can't apologize for that. For all of you who think that The Father has given up on Israyl, and that Israyl is no longer part of the picture. Let me provide you with some more verses from scripture that prove that the true Israylite nation is still major in the Father's eyes.

 

First let me point out a few scriptures that will provide you with a deeper understanding.

 

Numbers 23:19 says that Yah does not lie, Malachi 3:6 says that Yah does not change, and Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4 say that we should live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yah.

 

Now, since Yah doesn't lie, He doesn't change and we are to live by every word He speaks, lets see what the scripture has to say about Israyl, since the scripture is the inspired word of Yah.

Exodus 19:5 "NOW THEREFORE, IF YOU WILL OBEY MY VOICE INDEED AND KEEP MY COVENANT, THEN YOU SHALL BE A PECULIAR TREASURE UNTO ME ABOVE ALL PEOPLE FOR ALL THE EARTH IS MINE."

 

Amos 3:1-2 "HEAR THIS WORD THAT YAH HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST YOU, O CHILDREN OF ISRAYL, AGAINST THE WHOLE FAMILY WHICH I BROUGHT UP FROM THE LAND OF EGYPT SAYING, YOU ONLY HAVE I KNOWN OF ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH, THEREFORE I WILL PUNISH YOU FOR ALL YOUR INIQUITIES (sins)."

 

Jeremiah 31:35-36 "THUS SAID YAH, WHICH GIVE THE SUN FOR A LIGHT BY DAY, AND THE ORDINANCE OF THE MOON AND OF THE STARS FOR A LIGHT BY NIGHT, WHICH DIVIDED THE SEA WHEN THE WAVE THEREOF ROAR; YAH OF HOST IS HIS NAME:

 

(36) IF THOSE ORDINANCES DEPART FROM BEFORE ME, SAID YAH, THEN THE SEED OF ISRAYL, ALSO SHALL CEASE FROM BEING A NATION BEFORE ME FOREVER."

 

These verses say that if the sun, moon, and stars are gone then Israyl won't be a nation of people anymore. The last time I looked up in the sky the sun still shined at day and the moon and stars still shined at night. So Israyl still is a physical nation on earth today.

 

Deuteronomy 4:20 "BUT YAH HAVE TAKEN YOU AND BROUGHT YOU FORTH OUT OF THE IRON FURNACE, EVEN OUT OF EGYPT, TO BE UNTO HIM A PEOPLE OF INHERITANCE, AS YOU ARE THIS DAY."

 

Exodus 4:22 "AND YOU SHALL SAY UNTO PHARAOH, THUS SAID YAH ISRAYL IS MY SON MY FIRSTBORN."

 

1st Chronicles 16:13, 18 "O YOU SEED OF ISRAYL HIS SERVANTS YOU CHILDREN OF JACOB, HIS CHOSEN ONES,

 

(18) SAYING, UNTO YOU WILL I GIVE THE LAND OF CANAAN, THE LOT OF YOUR INHERITANCE."

 

Psalms 148:14 "HE ALSO EXALT THE HORN OF HIS PEOPLE, THE PRAISE OF ALL HIS SAINTS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAYL, A PEOPLE NEAR UNTO HIM PRAISE YOU YAH"

 

Zechariah 2:8 "FOR THUS SAID YAH OF HOSTS AFTER THE GLORY HAVE HE SENT ME UNTO THE NATIONS WHICH SPOILED YOU FOR HE THAT TOUCH YOU TOUCH THE APPLE OF HIS EYE."

I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. I’m a great place for you to tell a story and let your users know a little more about you.

The children of Israyl are the only people who have been called the SONS (children), SERVANTS, PRIESTS, CHOSEN, and INHERITANCE OF THE MOST HIGH. He never called any other group of people these, but does this mean that others are not welcome into the family of Yah. Oh no, I will never agree to that, because there is no proof of that. ALL people, of all languages and races are welcome to be partakers of the truth, and obtain the reward of everlasting life. 

 

But ALL that want truth and salvation must come to Israyl to get that truth and salvation. FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE.
