: You see, Israel was always described as a people, and in the
: Word Israel was NEVER a land or location. This was not good
: enough for the askenazis who called themselves jews, so
: they enlisted man to give them a land. Only a few perceive
: this.
: The original 12 tribes of Israel (except a small remnant of 2
: tribes) were all taken away into captivity before 500 BC.
: They were "lost" to man then, but not lost to
: God. God, through His Word Denoted 120 separate features of
: Israel, by which they can be identified. 40 of the 120 are
: stated below, with Biblical reference verses

: How strange it is, that with all the definite and positive
: assurances in the Word of God promising Israel's
: continuance FOREVER as a Nation, there has not been any
: continued or persistent effort on the part of organized
: 'religion' to find them. Many have been blinded by the
: 'preachers' who believe that the little insignificant
: country in the middle east that call themselves Israel is
: the Israel of God. Some believe the lie taught by some
: unlearned TV preachers and other 'cemeteries' that it is
: these 'Jews' that are Gods chosen people. Very few know
: this is a lie, and that there is a vast difference between
: those that call themselves "Jews" and Israel.
: There IS a vast difference. They are separate peoples.
: Another possible explanation for this blindness can be that it
: was God's will and purpose to hide them. While the Jews
: (some of whom are only a part of the House of Judah) occupy
: the stage, even naming their country "Israel",
: God works unhindered with and in "lost Israel",
: untill he has finished his predetermined work, and without
: them knowing that they were the people of the Book. Only as
: Israel's time of punishment had run out, with the whole of
: God's purposes at the point of complete fulfillment, is the
: identity of Israel to become known.
: The blinders are coming off for some.
: It is a matter of inspired record that God placed 'marks' on
: His people. Israel. During the Christian dispensation, lost
: Israel was to possess these marks of identification. So,
: then, if we can match these Biblically recorded marks to a
: people, we have found Israel, the people who God had
: selected to serve Him by being a channel of blessing to all
: mankind. These marks are many, and while the list of 40 at
: the beginning of this article is in no means complete or
: exhaustive, they constitute a chain of evidence utterly
: impossible for thinking individuals to ignore.
: One race, and one race alone has all the marks. Nations within
: this race may have a portion of them, but the race as a
: whole has them all. With few exceptions Joseph (the
: birthright nation) was the recipient of them all. By
: inheritance, (See Gen 48:16-20) his two sons, Ephraim
: (Great Britain) and Manasseh (USA) will be found possessing
: them all !!
: Although some Israelites remain in all the countries of the
: world, America is the homeland of the millions of the 13
: tribes (one out of many) and thus is representative of the
: whole House of Jacob. We are thus bound by Israel's
: responsibilities; fulfilling Israel's destiny. The marks
: are on us everywhere: In our NAME; in our CONSTITUTION: in
: our SABBATH; in our INSTITUTIONS; in our PHILANTHROPHY; in
: our COMMERCE; in our WEALTH; in our MINES; in our
: AGRICULTURE; in our CHURCHES; in our MISSIONARY
: ENTERPRISES; in our ARMED FORCES; in our POSSESSION OF THE
: BIBLE; all these are 'birthmarks', which neither time, nor
: the ages, nor even our sin can wipe away.
