THE ISRAEL VISION

by Mikkel S. Kragh

Introduction

Beloved Christian brothers and sisters,

Grace and peace in the Lord!

Anyone, with the slightest knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, knows that the nation of Israel plays a central role in the Lord's plan with mankind. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to know who the true Israel of God is today, and if there are deceivers who claim to be Israel, but are not. (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9)

Most people today, Christians as well as non-Christians, view the Jewish nation in and outside of Palestine as the descendants of the Biblical Israelites. But merely the words of Jesus: "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (Matthew 7:20) should cause every Christian to have his doubts concerning this idea. Furthermore, most Christian churches today talk about a "spiritual Israel" embracing believers of all races, nations and cultures. This un-Biblical theory will be shot down by the revelation that the Israel of God is neither the Jews nor the church, yet it is still very much alive today.

To say the least, it would have tremendous impact if it were the modern Nordic-Germanic nations whom Jesus had in mind when He turned down the Canaanite woman with the words: "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 15:24)

These words are written out of the deepest conviction of my heart, even though they will not please the god of this world, and are by no means politically correct. I only want to make known the message of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Danes living in the 21^st century: The Israel Vision!

Jesus' sheep

The thesis in this writing is that the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel of Biblical time, today constitute the Nordic-Germanic nations as found in the Danes, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Faeroe Islanders, the Icelanders, the Germans, the Swiss, the Austrians, the Dutchmen, the Boer-Afrikaaner, the English, the Scots, the Northern Irish, the Welshmen, the Americans, the Canadians, the South Africans, the Australians, and the New Zealanders, a large part of the Finns, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, the Frenchmen, and the Belgians, as well as their kindred throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

When I provide this proof, the reaction from most people, Christians as well as non-Christians, is: “But I thought that the Jews are the descendants of the Israelites?!" Because of this, I'm going to start by looking at the people who claim they are Jews.

In one of Jesus’ discussion with the Jews, the Saviour says at one time to the Jews: "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" (John 10:26-27) Do notice that Jesus does not say that the Jews do not belong to His sheep because they do not believe, but exactly the opposite, namely that they do not believe because they do not belong to His sheep. The true sheep of Jesus would on the other hand hear His voice and follow Him. Do ponder over this: How come that the Jews as a people through two thousand years by no means have accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and God, while that the Nordic-Germanic and kindred peoples through history not only have embraced the Gospel in its purest form, as found in the Protestant denominations, but have spread the Gospel all over the world?

My answer is: a) Today, Israel is to be found among the Nordic-Germanic and kindred peoples, and b) the people who go by the name of Jews really are neither Jews nor Israelites, just as their nation in the Middle East does not qualify for the name Israel.

The House of Israel is different from the House of Judah

This is very important! Have patience, and let me prove that the Word of God differentiates between the House of Israel and the House of Judah.

Most people today believe that the words Jew and Israel are synonymous, and use them interchangeably. People use expressions as "The Jews Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob", "the exodus of the Jews from Egypt", "the twelve tribes of the Jews", etc. The Bible gives no mandate for this. Nowhere in the [Danish] Bible from Genesis to Second Kings and the Chronicle books do you find the word Jew. How Come?

The word Jew simply means Judean, one of the tribe of Judah or one of the House of Judah. God chose Abra(ha)m to be the progenitor of His chosen people. Through the son born unto Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, and through the son born unto Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob, God chose the people which should proclaim His praise: ISRAEL. (Isaiah 43:21) Jacob got the name Israel in Genesis 35:10, and thus Jacob became the first person whom you could call an Israelite. Jacob had twelve sons who became the progenitors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. One of Jacob-Israel's sons was called Judah, and Judah is thus the first person one can honestly call a Jew.

After a longer rule after the Lord God of Israel's pattern with judges ruling in Israel, the Israelites chose the king Saul, who was followed by David. In First Kings 11 12 we read that Israel under David's grand-child, Rehoboam, was divided into two nations: Israel or the House of Israel with the ten northern tribes, and Judah or the House of Judah with the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin with a part of the tribe of Levi. In Second Kings 17 we read that the House of Israel - i.e. the ten northern tribes approximately 721 B.C. were forced into captivity by the Assyrians, and never yet to return. Approximately 100 years later, around 604 B.C., the House of Judah was led into captivity to Babylon by the king of Babylon: "Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away. But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vine dressers and husbandmen." (Second Kings 25:11-12)

After 70 years of captivity in Babylon, the House of Judah returned to Palestine. The prophet Ezra notices that these remaining Judeans only belonged to Judah, Benjamin, and parts of Levi: "Then rose up the chief of the fathers of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites,, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem." (Ezra 1:5) The Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus (37-95 A.D.), writes concerning these, that "the Jews... that this is the name they are called by from the day that they came up from Babylon, which is taken from the tribe of Judah, which came first to these places, and thence both they and the country gained that appellation. " (Antiquities of the Jews 11:5:7) Dr. J.H. Hertz, the late chief rabbi of Britain, wrote on 18th November, 1918: "The people known at present as Jews are descendants of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin with a certain number of descendants of the tribe of Levi. As far as is known there is no further admixture of other tribes. The Ten tribes have been absorbed among the nations of the world. (See 2 Kings Chap. 7, more especially vv. 22 and 23). We look forward to the gathering of all the tribes at some future day. (See Isaiah 27:11-12; and Ezekiel 37:15-28.)" Dr. A. Neubauer wrote in The Jewish Quarterly (1888, vol. 1, pp. 15, 17 and 2 1): "The captives of Israel exiled beyond the Euphrates did not return as a whole to Palestine along with their brethren the captives of Judah; at least there is no mention made of the event in the documents at our disposal. ... in fact the return of the ten tribes was one of the great promises of the Prophets, and the advent of the Messiah is therefore necessarily identified with the epoch of their redemption. ... The hope of the return of the Ten Tribes has never ceased amongst the Jews in exile... This hope has been connected with every Messianic rising... "

i.e. only Israelites of the tribe of Judah or the House of Judah can honestly be called Jews. To call members of the ten northern tribes for Jews would be the same as calling a vendelbo[people from northern Jutland] for a bornholmer [people of the island of Bornholm]. The Jews make up a smaller part of Israel, just as the Bornholmers constitute a smaller part of the Danes.

Many prophecies in the Bible are about the reunion of the House of Israel with the House of Judah and their common return to Palestine under a "Davidic King", i.e. the Lord Jesus Christ. Let me mention one example: "The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. ... Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land. ... and they shall be no more two nations, ... And David my servant shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd.. ." (Ezekiel 37:15-17, 21, 22, 24. Read the whole chapter.) See also Isaiah 11:13, and Zechariah 11:10-14. These prophecies would make no sense if the House of Israel and the House of Judah had been reunited at the return from Babylon, or if they were synonyms.

Those which say they are Jews

A very obscure fact, on the other hand is, that the people today known as Jews are for a very large part, not Jews at all! As early as during the captivity of the true Jews (Judeans) in Babylon, we read that many strange peoples converted to the Jewish faith: "And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them." (Esther 8:17)

The threat against the true Jewish people which in history proved to be the greatest of them all, came, on the other hand, from the hereditary enemy of Israel, the Edomites - the descendants of Jacob's brother, Esau - whom the latter had had with, among others, various Canaanite wives. (Genesis 36:1-5) Encyclopaedia Judaica (1971, vol. 6, p. 378): “John Hyrcanus conquered the whole of Edom and undertook the forced conversion of its inhabitants to Judaism (Joseph., Ant. XIII, 9, 1). Thenceforth the Edomites became a section of the Jewish people.” The Jewish Encyclopaedia from 1925, vol. 5, p. 4 1, states clearly: "Edom is in modern Jewry."

A detailed study of the Bible will show that the Edomites, not only before their absorption into the Jewish people but also in prophecy, are called the bitterest enemies of the Israelites. This is not the topic of this writing, but suffice to say that "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." (Romans 9:13, comp. Malachi 1:2-3) It is these Edomite Jews whom Revelation mentions: "... I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. " "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie, ... " (Revelation 2:9, 3:9) When you read the Bible you must differentiate between the Jews who are true Israelites, and the persons who also are called Jews, but have Edomite-Canaanite blood in their veins.

The next great change in the Jewish people commences in the 9^th century A.D. where the great phallus worshipping, Turkic-Mongolian people, the Khazars, in Southern Russia, converted en masse to Judaism, to keep the Christians and the Muslims out. In 1239 A.D., though, the Khazars were defeated by the Mongols, the Khazar people thereafter spread west over all Eastern Europe. The (Khazarian-)”Jewish” author Arthur Koestler, who has received the Sonning prize, wrote in 1976 the book The Thirteenth Tribe, wherein he writes among other things: “… this would mean that their [the Jews’s] ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan but from the Caucasus, once believed to be the cradle of the Aryan race; and that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed of Abraham, lsaac and Jacob. Should this turn out to be the case, then the term 'anti-Semitism' would become void of meaning..." (Random House, Inc., New York, p. 17) When this book was published, it received great publicity – except in Christian circles…

The Eastern European Khazar-Jews are called the Ashkenazim Jews and constitute some 90-95% of world Jewry and more than half the population of the nation "Israel", while the descendants of the Jews of the Diaspora after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. are called Sephardic Jews, and even many of the Sephardim have heathen blood in their veins. It is these Edomites, Khazars, and Canaanites that practically all Christendom acclaims as Israel, God's chosen people! They do not "return" to Palestine, because their progenitors never put their feet there. If you do not believe this Christian author, then listen to the Jews themselves: The Jewish Almanac, part one of 1980, writes in the article, Identity Crisis: A Brief History of the Term Jew: "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew'. "

It should be noted, though, that there are to be found true Judean Israelites among the modern Jews. Pastor Dan Gayman of the Church of Israel in Schell City, Missouri, United States, writes: "Only a small minority of modern Jews are true Judeans, descended from the tribe of Judah. Again, these true Jews are not new, but are devout people who emphasize the Torah, love the Ten Commandments, and desire to live in peace. While most of them reject Jesus Christ, they do not harbour malice toward Christians in general. They are in stark contrast to the other kind of Jews, who protest anything and everything Christian and undermine and destroy everything Biblical, including the Ten Commandments and the Torah. They specialize in making money at any cost and do nothing to sustain a biblical culture." (An Open Letter to New Testament Christians, p. 22)

Prophecies concerning the nation "Israel"

One of the main problems many Christians have against accepting the Israel Vision and the fact that the modern Jews are not identical with Israel, is the foundation of the Jewish state in Palestine, which these deceivers chose to call "Israel". Christians the world over believe that the establishing of the Jew state is the fulfilment of the Biblical prophecies concerning the return of Israel to Canaan.

First, let us acknowledge that the Bible does speak of a return of Israel to Canaan – there is no doubt on this point. But these prophecies do in no wise fit the Jewish state "Israel", which was founded in 1948, because the prophecies talk of Jesus Christ, the King of Israel, Who is to rule over His people, the Israelites.

But if the prophecies do not fit the Jew state of 1948, does prophecy mention these deceivers? Sure it does. The prophet Ezekiel mentions the take over of Canaan by these impostors as follows: "Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto the inhabitants of Jerusalem to have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.” (Ezekiel 11:15) Here the Edomite-Khazarian-Canaanite “Jews” are simply called "the inhabitants of Jerusalem", not Israelites. Ezekiel continues to reveal the identity of the Edomite frauds: "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey. " (36:5) In another place, the inhabitants of Palestine are prophetically called anything but true Israelites: "And say, thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite." (Ezekiel 16:3, see also verse 45)

By the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ, the true Israelites will, under the leadership of their King, Jesus, take over Palestine from its present Edomite occupiers: "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof, and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old. That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this." (Amos 9:11-12) In the neighbouring prophet is found a more in-depth description of the bloody take over that will take place: "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining in the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it." (Obadiah 18) (Please compare Luke 19:27 with John 19:15.)

An eschatological proof of who the true Israelites are, is found in Jesus’s prophecy concerning the destruction of Jerusalem: "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and they shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down o the Gentiles, until the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled " (Luke 21:24) Bible scholars agree that the time of the Gentiles is 2520 years, or "seven times", and represents God's time of punishment. Now, Jerusalem was taken by Nebuchadnezzar in 604 B.C. Since then it has been "trodden down of the Gentiles". Therefore, we can rest assure that it were Israelites who took over Jerusalem 2520 years later. And on 9^th December, 1917, the English General Allenby, not the Jews, entered Jerusalem!

The final death blow to the teaching that the modern Jews represent all of the children of Israel is to be found in the promise and the prophecy of the Lord unto Abraham, where He promised that "... for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee." (Genesis 17:5-6) The modern Jews constitute but one nation, while that the Nordic-Germanic and kindred peoples constitute "many nations". Even one of the twelve tribes of Israel, Ephraim or Great Britain and her Dominions, should become "a multitude of nations". (Genesis 48:19) The Jews have no king and have not had one for time immemorial, while that many of the Nordic-Germanic and kindred peoples have kings and queens, who all can trace their lineage back to king David.

The Captivity of the House of Israel

Later we will look at the numerous Biblical prophecies which irrefutably proves that the House of Israel and the House of Judah will be reunited by the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, these prophecies prove that the House of Israel must be in existence today, and that they have not disappeared. But to make a foundation (on the rock) for these many prophecies, we must search Biblical and secular history to see what we know about the House of Israel.

While that the House of Judah had many God-fearing kings, there were few of these in the House of Israel. This brought forth that the Lord, the God of Israel, let the curse for breaking the covenant, as found in Deuteronomy 28 and 29, become a reality for the Israelites. Commencing 741 B.C. and continuing in a total of four deportations until 676 B.C. the Israelites were taken captive from the land of Canaan. The Bible recounts: "In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short." (2^nd Kings 10:32) Later we read: "In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria." (2^nd Kings 15:32) Around 721 B.C. the Lord, though, let all the rest of the House of Israel be taken into exile: "In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. ... Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. ... Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel.. and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. ... And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Mabor by the river of Gown, and in the cities of the Medes:" (2^nd Kings 17:6, 18, 23-24, 18:11) Neither the Bible nor secular history recounts anything suggesting that these numerous Israelites, millions of people, have returned unto Palestine. Do notice that the people who replaced the Israelites in Samaria (the part of Palestine belonging to the ten tribes), and who lived there at the time of Jesus, were not Israelites.

While that the Old Testament dispensation was brought to an end, with the House of Israel still being exiled from Palestine, there is actual proof concerning the wanderings of the Israelites after the captivity. Flavius Josephus wrote in approximately 70 A.D.: “… wherefore there are but two tribes [Judah and Benjamin] in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the Ten Tribes are beyond Euphrates till now, and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers."(Antiquities of the Jews 11:5:2) The Apocryphical book of 2nd Esdras has the following to say concerning the Israelites of the House of Israel: "And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him; Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land. But they took counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land. And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow passages of the river. For the most High shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over. For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth. Then they dwelt there unto the latter time;" (2^nd Esdras 13:39-46)

From the Middle East to Northern Europe

The Jews, the Christians, as well as most historians, are of the persuasion that the House of Israel disappeared, and were lost, after they were sent into captivity by the Assyrians, since the name Israel was lost very quickly in world hstory, and only the Jews/Judah remained. This is simply because that the ten lost tribes of Israel were called by new names by themselves and by their neighbouring peoples!

This claim is at first substantiated by the inscription on the so-called Behistun Rock, near Teheran in modern Iran. On this huge rock Israel is mentioned in three languages: Susian, Persian, and Babylonian. In Susian, Israel is called the land of Scythia or Saca (Saca = sons of Isaac), in Persian the land of Scythia, and in Babylonian the land of Cimmeria or Gimiri. The reason that the ten tribes of Israel have been lost for the history books is simply that they are by now called by new names! Behold! As soon as the House of Israel disappeared, then these Scythians, Saca, Cimmerians, and Gimiri, springs forth as out of nothing.

Briefly, the lost ten tribes of Israel split and migrated in two directions: a) The Scythians, who around 600-500 B.C. crossed the Caucasus into Southern Russia, and b) the Cimmerians or Gimiri, who around 690-590 B.C. migrated across the Bosporus strait into the Balkans, and became known as the Celts.

Around 200 B.C., while that the Israelite Scythians lived all over Southern Russia and the Ukraine, the Asian people, the Sarmatians, pushed them from the East, and the Scythians had to move to the Baltic region. The Romans already knew the Scythian Israelites, and began at this point in time to call them Germanics to differentiate them from the Sarmatians, since germanus means true in Latin, i.e. true Scythians = Germanics. (For a more in-depth study of this, ask for our article After the Assyrian Captivity by F.W.C. Neser.) Historians say that the population of Denmark more or less was replaced between 400 B.C. and 300 A.D. This makes the modern Danes and Scandinavians to be true descendants of these Israelites.

The Blekingian author Örjan Svensson has written the books Blekinges äldsta kända runinskrifter --- yttringar av nordvästsemitisk fruktbarhetskult (Published privately, Karlskrona, Sweden, 1998) and De Blekingska Runornas Hemligheter (Published privately, Karlskrona, Sweden, 2001), wherein he shows that the numerous runic inscriptions in the Southern Swedish province, Blekinge, actually can be traced to ancient Hebrew. Also, the Jewish "Israeli" historian Yair Davidy from Jerusalem and the American archaeologist E. Raymond Capt have both written several books that all trace the House of Israel to Northern Europe. Space does not permit to go in depth, but our language, laws, customs, songs and melodies, folk legends, heraldry, architecture, etc., are all further proof of our Israelitish origins.

Earlier, historians called the so-called Indo-Europeans, the progenitors of most European languages, for Indo-Germanics, because they accepted the fact that it was among the modern Germanic nations that the racial type from the ancient Indo-Europeans was preserved the best. Since all Indo-European languages are related, they must necessarily have a common root, and that root is Abraham. But simply because almost all of Europe speaks Indo-European languages, it does not mean that their progenitors in the flesh were the same as the ones from whom their language derives. (For instance, American Negroes speak an Indo-European language - English - but that does not mean that the ancient Indo-Europeans were the progenitors of the Negroes.)

Historians agree that the Indo-Europeans came from a place far away in Eastern Europe, just as the Nordic mythology tells of how the Aesir came from the same corner of the world. That the Israelites can be traced to the same region, and at the same time, can be no coincidence.

The ancient Romans, the Patricians, and the founders of ancient Greece, the Hellenes (not the imported slaves), thus belonged to the same ethnic group as the Scythians/Germanics. The Roman Patricians and the ancient Greeks belonged to the same racial type as the ancient and modern Germanics and Celts, i.e. the Nordic race. Thus, we must assume that just as the Germanics hail from the lost ten tribes of Israel, so the ancient Romans and Greeks must also have their roots from earlier migrations of Israelites. The greater part of modern Romans and Greeks are descendants of the slaves from the Middle East, even though there are minorities of Nordic Israelites over most parts of Europe.

The Identity of the “Heathens” and the “Gentiles” of the New Testament

An in-depth study of the New Testament will show that the peoples to whom Paul and the other writers wrote, actually were Israelites in the flesh, descendants of the lost ten tribes of Israel, who now had been found! The Scripture I cherish the most in this connection is from Romans 9:24-26, and reads as follows: "Even as, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As he saith also in Osee [Hosea], I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God." (Do read the entire chapter.) There is no great quarrel concerning the identity of the Jews, but when it comes to the identity of the "Gentiles" of verse 24, I will take on most theologians, and prove that these were actually Israelites of the House of Israel!

To settle this dispute, we must go to the source of the quote from verses 25-26, which is to be found in Hosea 1:6-10 and 2:23. Remember that Scripture must interpret Scripture. Read very closely, word for word, these verses and compare them with Romans 9, and acknowledge that these Gentiles "not my people/my people" and "not beloved/beloved" are identical with the House of Israel: "And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah [Not having obtained mercy]: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and I will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi [not my people]: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered, and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. ... and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say unto them which were not my people, Thou art my people, and they shall say, Thou art my God. " (Hosea 1:6-10, 2:23) (Compare with 1^st Peter 2:9-10 which contains yet another fulfilled prophecy from Hosea 1:6 and 9 and 2:23 used concerning the Christians to whom Peter writes.)

There are other Scriptures from the New Testament which identify the receivers of the Epistles as Israelites in the flesh, for instance 1^st Corinthians and Romans, where Paul calls the patriarchs the progenitors of both him and the receivers of the epistles (the Corinthians and the Romans): "Moreover brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;" (1 Corinthians 10: 1 -2) "What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?" (Romans 4: 1)

There are other writers than Paul who mention the receivers of the New Testament epistles as Israelites. James begins his Epistle as follows: "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting." (James 1:1) Peter begins his first Epistle as follows: "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ.. Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied." (1^st   Peter 1: 1-2) Don't come here with any "spiritual Israel"!

The Apocrypha book of 1^st Maccabees, which is not inspired, but is an ancient historic source, supports the identification of the ancient Greeks as the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: "Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the high priest, greeting: It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham:" (1 " Maccabees 12:20-21)

The knowledge of the identity of the "Gentiles" was thus known among the Christians of the first century, but must have become lost when the great apostasy commenced after the death of the apostles.

Whom did Jesus Christ come to save?

To this question, most Christians will answer: "Peoples of all races." The thesis of this writer is, though, that Jesus only came to save Israel. What is right? Let us turn our attention to Scripture because "the scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:3 5).

In the very first chapter of the New Testament we read the following of the Lord Jesus Christ: "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS - for he shall save his people for their sins." (Matthew 1:2 1) If Jesus "saves His people from their sins", it must mean that the sinning people also were His before He came to save it! Not the other way around! 1 John 3:4 determines that "sin is the transgression of the law." Alas. So Christ came to save His people from their transgression of their law. And who were under the Law? Only Israel. Furthermore, Jeremiah gives an indication that the House of Judah would hear this Saviour who came for His people, but that the House of Israel would be far away: "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." (Jeremiah 23:6) This is supported by another New Testament Scripture inspired by the Holy Ghost: "And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, ... To perform the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham," (Luke 1:67-68, 72-73) So, salvation has something to do with being a son of Abraham, which is backed up by another place in the same Gospel: "And Jesus said unto him [Zacchaeus], This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham." (Luke 19:9)

Even after the death of Jesus, Scripture is unambiguous on the fact that salvation and redemption is solely for Israel: "Him [Jesus] hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins." (Acts 5:3 1) And again: "Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:" (Acts 13:23) When Acts talks of "Gentiles", it means in many cases Israelites who had lost their identity. Thus, many believe that 2:9-11 is talking about people of all nations, but 2:5 and 2:22 emphatically states that even though these people came from many provinces, then they were all Jews (Judeans), i.e. Israelites. The Ethiopian eunuch of chapter 8 must equally have been a Jewish Israelite of descent, because he was reading the prophet Isaiah (verse 28). Remember that until lately there were Jews in Ethiopia. (Even though they long gone had mixed themselves with the Ethiopians and become coloured.) Only an Israelite would have read Isaiah.

Furthermore, we read of whom Jesus came to save: "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." (Matthew 18:11) To define who were "lost", let us not turn to my words, yours or your local minister's, but let Scripture interpret Scripture: The phrase "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" is found in no less than two places (Matthew 10:6 and 15:24), while that the heathen races nowhere in Scripture are called "lost". Conclusion: The Son of man came to save the lost sheep of the House of Israel.

In the last chapter of the last Gospel, the Lord Jesus bids the apostle Peter to tend His sheep: “He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. ... He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. ... Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." (John 21:15, 16, 17) To define who Jesus' sheep are, let us not take my words, yours or your local minister's for who they are, but let Scripture interpret Scripture. And the only people which the Bible calls the sheep of the Lord, are the nation Israel. I can mention Jeremiah 50:17: "Israel is scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away:" Read also Ezekiel 34: "... the shepherds of Israel ... should not the shepherds feed the flocks? ... Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, ... " (verses 2, 30-3 1) (See also Psalm 95:7) I defy anyone to come up with as much as one Scripture which calls any people other than Israel as the sheep of the Lord God!

When our Lord Jesus Christ returns, He will look at the apostasy of Christendom and ask them: “How are my sheep doing? They are starving, poor, and ill; didn't I tell you to feed them?" Then the apostate shepherds will answer unto the Lord: "But we did feed the goats and the dogs and the pigs. What difference does it make? Goats, dogs, pigs, sheep, they're all the same!" Then our Lord will tell them: "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:23) (This is my paraphrase of Jeremiah 23:1-4.)

The fact that millions of coloured people the world over call themselves Christian does not mean that salvation reaches out to them also. The social, humanist "Gospel" of many modern churches is at its best poorly hidden Marxism, at its worst a non-Biblical teaching with sender addressed from hell. That millions of coloured people (and Israelites for that matter) follows this teaching does not necessarily make them Christians.

The Bible describes all the way from Exodus to Revelation the Lord's relationship with Israel as a marriage. The wedding took place at Mount Sinai, but later, the Lord divorced the House of Israel (but only the ten northern tribes, as we saw in Hosea): "And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also." (Jeremiah 3:8) The Lord God did, though, promise that He would re-marry Israel: "For the LORD God hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer." (Isaiah 54:6-8) Since the Bible is written by one Author, God, the theme with His marriage with Israel continues all the way until the end of the Bible: "... Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife ... that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ... twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel." (Revelation 21:9-12)

The pastor at one of the leading Israel Identity churches in the United States, Peter J. Peters of the LaPorte Church of Christ and Scriptures for America in LaPorte, Colorado, writes in his book, The Greatest Love Story Never Told from 1993: "What kind of love story would this be, If He loved them all the same? Can you imagine your wife asking you, 'Do you love me more than anyone else, dear?' and you replying, 'Well, I love you like I love all the women, honey.'... Why get married if you are going to love all women the same?"  (page 22)

The New Covenant

With whom did the Lord Jesus Christ make His new covenant? Israel, or all nations and races? The writer writes in Hebrews: "For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind, and write them into their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: " (Hebrews 8:8-10, see also Jeremiah 31:31-33) One has to read these verses of Scripture with extreme prejudice if one is to interpret them as saying that the new covenant is with other peoples than the House of Israel and the house of Judah. This Scripture says nothing of any "spiritual Israel". (If it did, what about the House of Judah, is that spiritual, too?) Paul writes to the so-called "Greeks" (Israelites of the ten tribes), that this prophecy is fulfilled in them: "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart." (2 Corinthians 3:3)

Do notice, that while the covenant was with the House of Israel - the ten tribes as found in the Nordic-Germanic and kindred nations - and the House of Judah - the true Jews, or Judahites - then it was only in the hearts of the House of Israel that the Law was to be written, not in the House of Judah. This explains why the Nordic-Germanic and kindred nations have accepted Christ, while that even the true Jews, as a nation, have rejected Jesus as Christ and Messiah. The law of the Lord is written in no heart of any Jew.

That the New Covenant - or the New Testament - is for Israel only is not an injustice. (And if it was, it would be the Lord Who was the culprit.) This can best be described with a parable: A rich man dies, and in his testament he leaves his house to his children. Alone the children inherit the house, while that none of the neighbours, the neighbour’s neighbours or the people living at the nearby lanes, inherits anything according to the will. Even though only the rich man's children inherit, then they gladly donate money to beautify the neighbourhood. Is this injustice?

In His charge to His twelve disciples, we read: "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and not into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 10:5-6) This is a clear charge of mission which is obviously being ignored by Christendom in the 21st century. They hold on to Matthew 28:19-20, which reads: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, and I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Now, Scripture never contradicts itself. If Matthew 10:5-6 and 28:19-20 is derived from the same heavenly Author, then "all nations" mentioned in 28:19 must refer to all the nations that are descended from the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and the true Jews!!! This may sound as a bad explanation, but Scripture never contradicts itself, and Jesus didn't suddenly change His mind on the Cross, as some theologians would claim. The very same theologians would furthermore claim that the charge of mission in Matthew 10 only is directed towards the Jews, and that 28:19-20 is for all the world after Jesus’s crucifixion. But have we not just established that "the House of Israel" does not mean the “Jews”!?! Furthermore: What about the rest of the charge of mission - "And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: ..." (Matthew 10: 7-8) - are these commandments no longer effectual after Golgotha? What about the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, was it only valid until Jesus’s crucifixion? No! Jesus came primarily for His people, Israel, and not for the foreign races.

The Scripture found in Mark which correlates with Matthew 28:19-20, is found in 16:15: "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Alas, when Mark refers to "every creature", does this also include the orangoutangs, the rain worms, and the pelicans? Of course not, even though they definitively are among "every creature" which Mark mentions. How are we therefore are to find out what is meant with "every creature" and "all nations", then the key is to be found in viewing them in Biblical context. The following verses from Scripture will illuminate that when the Bible refers to "all the world" and similar phrases, only the near-by world is meant! Paul writes approximately 60-61 A.D.: "... the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; ..." (Colossians 1:23) When Colossians was written, the gospel had not been preached to "every creature which is under heaven" as we understand it today, which would mean also to the Chinese, the Aborigines, and the Incas; but the Gospel had been, on the other hand, preached to "every creature which is under heaven" as understood in Paul's time, i.e. only in the Roman Empire and the closest parts of the Middle East. Similarly, Scriptures declares that "all countries" (Genesis 41:57) came to Egypt to buy corn from Pharaoh at the time of Joseph, even though the Native Americans and the Eskimos probably weren't present. It is also said that "all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon" (2 Chronicles 9:23), even though the kings of Japan and Hawaii probably didn't "seek the presence of Solomon". Prophetically, it is said that the Macedonian kingdom of Alexander the Great would "bear rule over all the earth." (Daniel 2:39) Did Alexander rule over Siberia and Antarctica? Compare Matthew 28:19-20's mention of "all nations" with the prophecy of the Old Testament, "my covenant which I [the Lord, God of Israel] had made with all the people." (Zechariah 11:10. Danish 1992 version: ‘all the peoples’) Even though the covenant was only made with one people, namely Israel, then the Bible still calls Israel for "all the people", because they at this time - and much more at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus - had evolved into many nations.

Since many Christians view themselves as non-Israelite Gentiles, they do acknowledge that the Lord has a special covenant relationship to Israel in the Bible, so they blow up one single verse from Galatians to the size of the books of Psalms or Isaiah. The verse in question is: "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham." (Galatians 3.7) These replacement theologians use this verse to replace any Bible verse which mentions Israel to mean the church. Now, Galatians is more than one verse, it is actually a lengthy epistle; and in a further chapter, Paul explains: "Now we, brethren, as lsaac was, are children of the promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman." (Galatians 4:28-30) This is in harmony with a similar passage from Romans: "For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. Neither since they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: ... That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God.. but the children of the promise are counted for the seed." (Romans 9:6-7, 8. Read the entire chapter.) The apostle then explains that the children of God are the children of the promise. So, even though Abraham had many sons - Isaac, Ishmael, and his sons with Keturah - then the promise is for Isaac only. And here comes the kernel: Isaac was just as much the son of Abraham in the flesh as he was in the spirit; while that Ishmael, though he was Abraham's son in the flesh, was not his son in the spirit. Also, read Romans 9 and you will find that Paul cuts it out clearly, when he comes with yet another example with the two sons of Isaac, Jacob and Esau. For them, the same rule is valid: They were both the sons of Isaac in the flesh, but it was Jacob who was to continue the line of descent in which the Lord's promise to Abraham should be fulfilled. It is in this context that Galatians 3:7 should be seen. The verse cannot be ripped out of context and be used to turn the rest of the Bible upside down!

Is Israel still God's chosen people?

Is Jesus Christ Israel's Messiah, Lord, and King? Let us begin with a verse from the second chapter of the New Testament: "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel." (Matthew 2:6) Hey! Now we are in the New Testament, and yet Israel is spoken of as My (God's) people!

Another place in the New Testament, Jesus is called the King of Israel: "Hosanna: Blessed is the king of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord." (John 12:13) And again: "Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel." (John 1:49)

Again, we read in Romans 9:4-5: "Who are Israelites: to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen." When all these things, let alone the covenants (the Edenic, the Adamic, the Noahic, as well as the Abrahamic, the Mosaic, the Davidic, the Levitic, and the New Covenant) belong to Israel, then there is actually very little left to the non-Israelites, nothing but the "crumbs" which the Canaanite woman of Matthew 15 mentioned.

In Romans 11: 17-24, Paul describes how that these so-called "Gentiles" as wild branches of an olive tree can be grafted into the natural olive tree. These "Gentiles" are in this connection, again, lost Israelites of the ten tribes, since the only people the Bible calls an olive tree is Israel. (See Jeremiah 11:16) Scripture must interpret Scripture, and no place are non-Israelites called an olive tree.

Separateness for Israel

So far, so good. But how should true Nordic-Germanic Israelites of the 21^st century use the message of the Israel Vision? Could it really be, that if God has used millenniums to keep the Israelites apart from the foreign peoples, then He might still command Israel to live separate? With the Israel Vision in mind, this can only be answered with an emphatic Yes!

When you are reading this chapter, consider the prophecy of Daniel concerning the people of God in the latter days: "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." (Daniel 2:43)

The following are seven good reasons why Israelites, as found in the modern Germanic and kindred peoples of the Nordic race should remain separate from the foreign races:

1) The Bible mentions only one genealogical table from the beginning to the end of the Bible, and this genealogy begins with the man Adam, whom God created in the very first chapter of Genesis. After having come to the knowledge that the subject of race is central to the main complex of problems of the Bible, the great question of every Christian should be: "What race did Adam (and Eve) belong to? How did they look?" According to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible the Hebrew name 'âdâm’ (#120) is derived from the root word 'âdam’ (#119), which in Hebrew means "to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy: - be (dyed, made) red (ruddy)".

The only human race which has the special feature that is ruddy, blushes, turns rosy, and shows blood in the face, is the White Nordic race! It is much more difficult to see if a Negro, and Indian, or a Chinaman blushes than when a White person does, so it is because the White race, as found in Europe, does not have pigmentation in its skin, contrary to the coloured races.

And of the various races which belong to the White main race, the Nordic is the only one which has the special feature that it blushes very easily and actually goes around and "shows blood in the face", or is ruddy, even when they do not blush. This is because the skin of Nordic people is thinner than the skin of the South and Eastern European races. (Thus, the term "blue blood" was used of the Nordic Visi-Goths, who conquered Spain, because the skin of the Visi-Goths was so thin that you could see the blue veins through the skin - contrary to the natives, who indeed were White, but did not have the thin skin of the Nordics.) That Adam (and thus also Eve) were people of the White Nordic race must therefore give rise to the conclusion that the other races are pre-Adamic creations. The Bible gives no mandate to evolutionism and Darwinism.

It is said in Genesis 1:27 that "God created man [Adam] in his own image," However, the image of God is not merely a spiritual aspect, but very much also a physical one. Not only did God manifest Himself in the flesh in the Lord Jesus Christ, but even before this, for instance in Genesis 18-19. In a completely different context, Paul mentions: "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God:" (1 Corinthians 11:7) From these texts, we can conclude that not only was Jesus Christ Nordic in the flesh, but also that Adam was of the Nordic race.

Will you, dear Christian Dane, be an accomplice to eradicating the image of God off the face of the earth through race mixing? Do make up your mind now the next time you stand before such a choice!

2) In the chronicle of creation, it is several times mentioned that the various creations were created "after his kind" (Genesis 1: 12, 21, 24, 25) When it says "kind", it means that God created the different kinds - such as the Lovebird and the Macaw - but also that God created the different races - such as the dray horse and the Arab horse. And what God has created separate, let no man destroy this. [The newest Danish version of 1992, authorized by Queen Margrethe II, completely leaves out the phrase “after his kind”.]

3) In the Law of Moses, God gives the Israelites a clear prohibition against race-mixing: "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD." (Deuteronomy 23:2) Some translations translate this as meaning "one who is born out of wedlock". But according to Strong's, the term is translated from the Hebrew word mamzêr (#4464), which means "to alienate; a mongrel, i.e. born of a Jewish [i.e.: Israelite] father and a heathen mother: bastard." How anyone can translate this in any other way is a mystery to me.

4) The main message in no less than two books in the Bible - Ezra and Nehemiah is racial purity for Israel. When the Jewish Israelites (true Judeans) returned from the captivity in Babylon, Ezra writes the following: "Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Antorites. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and the rulers have been chief in this trespass." (Ezra 9:1-2) Many Christian Danes today would eagerly have given their blessing to this and encouraged the racial fornicators. But do read what the prophet of God did: "And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonished." (verse 3) Furthermore, the prophet said: "Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with people of these abominations?" (verse 14) Then, the Israelites confessed their sins before the Lord: "We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land, yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble of the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law." (Ezra 10:2-3)

The more or less contemporary prophet Nehemiah writes that a commandment in Deuteronomy  actually is a general commandment against race-mixing: "On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; ... Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude." (Nehemiah 13:1, 3) Nehemiah was, on the other hand, violent towards the racial fornicators: "In those days also saw I Jews that had married the wives of Ashdod, and of Ammon, and of Moab: ... And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves." (Nehemiah 13:23, 25)

Had the prophets of the God of Israel, Ezra and Nehemiah, lived in modern day Denmark, they would have been kicked out of most mainstream churches!

5) There is yet another commandment against race-mixing in Deuteronomy 7:1-6, where I will emphasize verse 3 and 4: ”Neither shalt thou make marriages with them [the seven Canaanite nations]; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods:" Many Christians today will say, "But as long as the Negro is a Christian, he can by all means marry the Danish woman.” But the Lord, the God of Israel, does not give such a mandate.

The South African Pastor F.W.C. Neser, of Ekklesia Evangeliegroep, writes in his book The 'Lost' Ten Tribes of Israel(Vereeniging, South Africa, 1987) regarding these verses: "In the light of what has just been said it will now be easier for us to understand why God has given such strict instructions to Israel not to intermarry with other nations. It would adulterate the blood stream of the 'People of God's Inheritance,' something which Satan is pushing with all his might. Oh, how clever is Satan! He is even using a completely faulty conception of the Gospel to promote racial integration!" (Vol. 3, p. 33)

6) During the Israelites' wanderings in the wilderness came the apostasy in Shittim: "... and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. ... And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel." (Numbers 25:1, 6-8) Today, Phinehas would have been branded as a "shame for Christendom", and would have gone straight to jail, but the Lord, the God of Israel, instead promised him a covenant and an everlasting priesthood for him and his descendants, because "he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel." (verse 13) (Read all chapter 25) It is race-mixing that is called "the doctrine of Balaam", which the Lord Jesus Christ warns against in the New Testament in Revelation 2:14.

7) The New Testament also has something to say concerning racial purity versus race-mixing. As I will explain later, in Matthew 15:26, Jesus, while talking to the Canaanite woman, called non-Israelites “dogs”. Turn the pages unto the very last chapter of the Bible. Here, the new Jerusalem is spoken of. "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." (Revelation 22:14-15) So the "dogs" - that is, the non-Israelite races - are not to be inside the New Jerusalem. Furthermore, the context makes it clear that the "whoremongers" must be those Israelites who mix with the "dogs", i.e. the racial fornicators.

The Genealogy of the Lord Jesus Christ

That the Word mentions that the Lord Jesus has certain non-Israelite progenitors does not mean that the Saviour was swarthy or of mixed race, as is found among the present and former inhabitants of Palestine and the Middle East. Scripture delves into the stories of Christ’s non-Israelite progenitors: Rahab of Jericho, Ruth the Moabitess, and Bathsheba. Even though Rahab lives in Jericho, that Ruth gets the title "Moabite", and that Bathsheba has a "Hittite" husband, we are bound to conclude that all of them of necessity must have been of the Nordic-Israelitish race, since 1 Samuel 16:12 says concerning David - a descendant of Rahab and Ruth - that "he was ruddy, and withal a beautiful countenance," (See also 17:42) That David was ruddy must mean that he belonged to the Nordic race, which again means that Rahab and Ruth cannot have been Negroes or Mongoloids, as certain wicked men claim, to make the Saviour a bastard.

The heathen in the eyes of the Lord

At this point, the reader is probably eager to know: What about the non-Israelite nations? How should the Christian Israelite relate toward them?

After the Israelites had conquered the land of Canaan, there were still foreign people left in the land. In comparison, the Israelite peoples of today, as found among the Nordic-Germanic and kindred peoples, have also permitted an immigration of foreign races. Therefore, a parallel can be drawn to how Christian Israelites should treat people of these foreign races: "For the LORD your God ... loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Love ye therefore the stranger, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt." (Deuteronomy 10: 17-19) Just as the Christian man should treat other women besides his wife as sisters, so should the Christian Israelite also treat the racial strangers decent; and just as the Christian man should not commit whoredom with other women, so should the Christian not commit whoredom with the foreign races.

The Lord’s great plan with Israel is that they should be a blessing for the rest of the world, not that they should wipe out all the other races of peoples. So we read of Abraham: "And in thy seed shall all the nations of the world be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice." (Genesis 22:18) This prophecy is fulfilled in the Nordic-Germanic and kindred nations - the true Israelites - who through history and today have blessed the rest of the world with food, and, inventions, technology, healthy Biblical morality contrary to the cannibalism of the natives etc., and most important of all, the message of Jesus Christ. This prophecy is not fulfilled in Jewry, who on the contrary through history have been behind slandering Jesus Christ and the Christian faith (read their holy book, the Talmud), Communism, Marxism, and other forms of anti-Christian Humanism, as well as the perverted teachings of Freud.

We find a gold mine regarding this topic in the meeting of Jesus with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15. The closet-humanists and crypto-Marxists would want this narrative to mean that Canaanites and other heathens get just as much out of the blood of Christ as Israel. Do read all the account for yourself, but let me underline some key points. After the woman cries to Jesus to help her demon possessed daughter, the Lord has this reaction: "But he answered her not a word." (15:23) Would modern Christians have done otherwise? But look what the disciples did -would they help her? "And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth after us." (15:23) Modern "Judeo-Christians" would immediately have stamped Jesus as well as the disciples as intolerant racists. Jesus then comes to the core of His teaching: "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (15:24) Now, the woman insists on getting help, but Jesus says: "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table." (15:26-27) Then the Lord heals her daughter. The crypto-Marxists will with this last line deduct that the woman indeed knew better than the Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. This author will, though, maintain that Jesus nowhere corrects what He said in verse 26, and that He still is "not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel". That Jesus says it is true that the heathen can "cat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table", does not mean that they get the same privileges out of the Gospel and salvation as the Israelites. Those who believe this should try to settle with eating the crumbs from a loaf of bread next time they are hungry and would like to eat a whole loaf of bread. There is a great difference between eating a big loaf of bread, and the crumbs that fall down when you eat that loaf. Do you, by the way, also postulate that "dogs" are equivalent to "their master"? All this is in perfect harmony with the advantages and goods that the heathen nations through history have gotten, and still get, from the Christian nations, the true house of Israel.

All human races are created by God, and many of them will in the end also follow Him. In Isaiah, we read of the end times, after true Israel has regained Zion, i.e. Palestine: "And it shall come to pass in the last days ... And many people shall go and say, Come ye, And let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob ... for out of Zion shall go out the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem." (Isaiah 2:2-3) This is confirmed in Revelation, where it is pointed out that Israel still will retain their place as the jewel in the eyes of the God: "... sealed the servants of our God ... And I heard the number of them which were sealed.. and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel." (Revelation 7:34) Next are numbered all the twelve tribes of Israel. After this, when it has been confirmed that it is the Israelites who are the "sealed servants of God", it is said that many non-Israelite heathen will follow the Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ: "And after this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples, and tongues, ..." (Revelation 7:9) This is in complete agreement with Isaiah. But do bear in mind, that simply because the heathen will follow the Lord Jesus, it does not mean that they are redeemed by the Redeemer, saved by the Saviour, nor have share in the covenant of the Lamb!

The angel said to the virgin Mary concerning the Lord: "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (Luke 1:31-33) If there is no pure Israelite people when the Lord Jesus Christ returns, then He will not have His people to reign over, and God will be made a liar who would not be able to fulfil His promises. Today, the prime target of Satan the Devil is to wipe out the image of God, as found in the Nordic-Germanic-Adamic Israelites. This is a war on all fronts. If he does not succeed in all out nuclear war, then Satan uses the murder of unborn children (abortion), dropping birth-rate (Exodus 1:9-10), and foremost of all, race-mixing.

My prayer for you, dear Christian, is therefore: When you stand before a choice between Jesus Christ and Satan the Devil, then choose Jesus, and help Him to preserve His people Israel on earth!

The Israel Vision then and now

The various churches around the world which proclaim the message of the Israel Vision, do not teach that salvation is only through descent from the patriarchs in the flesh, even though many do teach that the requirement for salvation is both fleshly and spiritual descent from Abraham.

To know the message of the Israel Vision is, of course, not the only message found in the Gospel, but the reader must by now have realized that the Gospel of salvation, which is the end of the Faith (1 Peter 1:9, NIV), without the Israel Vision, is lacking, just as many churches preach error as the minions of Satan, and not as the disciples of Jesus Christ, by rejecting the Israel Vision.

The knowledge of the Israelitish identity of the Nordic peoples was, as I have shown, known to the Christians in the time of the apostles before the great apostasy. It would be a long time before the French Counsellor LeLoyer in 1590 wrote a book on the ten lost tribes, whom he traced to England. In 1723 the French dean, Dr. Jacques Abbadie of Killaloe, Ireland, wrote: "Unless the ten tribes of Israel are flown into the air, or sunk into the earth, they must be those ten Gothic tribes, that entered Europe in the fifth century, overthrew the Roman Empire and founded the ten nations of modern Europe."(From Le Triomphe de la Providence et de la Religion) But the proper ecclesiastical movement which should proclaim Israel's true identity was only started in 1840, when the Scotsman John Wilson published the book Our Israelitish Origin. This became the start of a movement which got the name British-Israel or Anglo-Israelism, and which quickly spread all over the English speaking world, and which identified the British peoples as found in the English, the Scots, the Welsh, the Irish, the Canadians, the South Africans, the Australians, and New Zealanders as the tribe of Ephraim, and the Americans as the tribe of Manasseh. (See Genesis 48 for the basis for this.) As the 20^th century progressed, the British-Israel movement lost its great propagation in the British Commonwealth, but it did spread among the Boer-Afrikaaner of South Africa, where it got the name die Israël Visie, just as a special American branch became known as Christian Identity.

In 1993 Palma Forlaget in Næstved published a translation of J.C. Gawler's little book, Dan: The Pioneer of Israel [Dan: Israels Pioner] from 1880, but otherwise, this booklet is the first real propagation of the Israel Vision in Denmark.

It was among Afrikaans, Canadian, and Portuguese South Africans that the author of this writing learned of the Israel Vision in 1994, when I stayed with the Pentecostal church Ekklesia Evangeliegroep, founded by Pastor F.W.C. Neser, which is one of the numerous Israel Identity churches in South Africa.

The various churches that teach the Israel message are not united in one church, but are rather a movement of different churches the world over.
