Identifying Israel

by Jim Jester

This series of articles by Jim Jester eventually became his book, "Will the Real Israel Please Stand Up!"

Part 1:  Few understand that deception is in our education system and even in religion. The biggest deception of all is that Christians do not know that the “lost” tribes of Israel are found. 

Part 2:  History on the real Israel:  The Phoenician Connection, Israel’s Rise to Greatness, The “Golden Age” of Israel.

Part 3:  Migrations and Carthage.  The migrations of Israel and Judah didn’t just happen because of the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions. The migrations of Israel and Judah didn’t just happen because of the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions.  Many Israelites were relocated to the colony of Carthage in northern Africa because of a drought. 

Part 4:  The Scythian Connection - We now know what happened to the larger body of Israelites that did not escape the Assyrians.  They formed an alliance with King Esarhaddon, when he came under attack of the Medes and the Persians.  This treaty allowed the Israelites to establish colonies in Sacasene in the north and Bactria in the east.  As the Medes advanced their attack, those in the north moved through the Dariel Pass into south Russia and became known by the Greek name, “Scythians.”  

Part 5:  At the time Rome ruled the Mediterranean area, Parthia ruled over much of Asia. The concept that the Roman Empire had a rival will come as a surprise to most readers as Parthia is almost totally omitted from history books.  The Parthians were a Scythic people and used a Semitic alphabet. Political struggles between Rome and Parthia.

Part 6:  The Missing Years of Christ:  the early years of Jesus, travels of Joseph and Jesus, the later years of Jesus

Part 7:  Out of Asia and Into Europe:  The fall of Parthia and the Goths,. Not all the migrating Parthians and Scythians came to be known as Goths. Many became known as “Teutons,” “Germans,” “Vandals,” “Saxons,” etc.  The Scythian/Parthian people had been known as “Sacae” for over a millennium. Some refugees were called “Saxons” by the Romans.

Part 8:  Israel in the Modern Era:  Identifying the descendants of tribes of Israel in today’s world.  Ten tribes discussed: Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, Reuben, Zebulon, Asher, Issachar, Naphtali, Benjamin, Dan

Part 9:  Israel in the Modern Era:  The Tribes of Gad, Levi and Simeon, Judah; Maccabean revolt.

Part 10:  The biggest lie of history is that the Jews claim to be descendants of the tribe of Judah, yet have admitted they are of a different origin. It can be proven by the genealogical record that they are not even closely related to Israel’s descendants.
