Scripture Reading: II Kings 17:29-35
The opening scripture reading tells of the history of the portion of land in Palestine known as “Samaria.” It was the homeland of the tribes of Ephraim and Western Manasseh of the kingdom of Israel [northern kingdom]. But after the tribes of the Kingdom of Israel and most of the tribes of the Kingdom of Judah was captured and put into captivity by the Assyrians; it was repopulated by the five tribes of Babylonians and Lebanon/Syrians.
You will notice that I added Lebanon/Syrians. That is because when I read my March edition of the Virginia Christian Israelite, written by L. E. Ernst, I was taken by surprise. How encouraging is it that two different writers are writing about similar issues at the same time? Let me quote from this article:
“…Today’s Jews may be accurately grouped under two categories: The Ashkenazim and the Sephardim. The former grouping comprises some 90% of all modern Jews. Ashkenaz was the grandson of Japheth. Japheth was a brother of Shem. This means that 90% of all Jews are not descended from Shem, hence they are not ‘Semitic.’”
Let’s review: Noah had three sons; (1) Ham, (2) Shem and (3) Japheth. All those descended from Ham are known as Hamites; all those descended from Shem are called Shemites; and all those descended from Japheth are called Japhethites. Over 90 % of all Jews today are descended from Japheth; less than 10% are descended from Shem: so how can anyone who is against the Canaanite/Jews honestly be called an “anti-Semite?”
