Are Jews synonymous with the Hebrew children of Israel? No! Benjamin Freedman (Jew) 'Facts are Facts' It is an incontestable fact that the word "Jew" did not come into existence until the year 1775. Prior to 1775 the word "Jew" did not exist in any language.
Adam was not a Jew, Noah was not a Jew, Abraham Isaac, nor Jacob was a Jew, Jacob's con Judah was not a Jew! Moses was not a Jew, David was not a Jew, and Jesus was not a Jew! David and Jesus were Judahites, not Jews! Jesus was a Judean because he lived in the Roman province of Judea: "It was named after Herod Archelaus 's Tetrarchy of Judea,... The name "Judea" was derived from the Kingdom of Judah of the 6th century BC..."
Edomite Converts: In the time of the Maccabeans John Hyrcanus forcibly converts the Ishmaelite/Esau/Edomites who had migrated to Judah after the Babylonian exile.
Jesus told the Judean Pharisees the Truth would set them free to which they answered "Jn 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
The Hebrews were slaves in Egypt for several generation, how could they claim to never have been slaves? Jesus acknowledged that they were sons of Abraham. They were sons of Abraham through Ishmael! These were the Edomite converts of John Hyrcanus.
Jesus told the Pharisees: Mark 7:7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men...
The Pharisees held to the Talmud and the Kabbalah above the Torah. That is not the faith of the ancient Hebrews--Judaism is not the faith of the ancient Hebrews!
Khazars: In the 700s AD King Bulan of Khazaria converted to Judaism and his nation followed. Arthur Koestler (Jew) in his book 'The Thirteenth Tribe' documents this 'national conversion'. A widely held view is that these are the Yiddish speaking Ashkenazi Jews who had migrated to western Europe and are the majority of Jews today. They have no connection with ancient Israel, they are not Semitic.
Sabbatean-Frankism: In the 1600s AD Sabbati Tzvi aka Shabbatai Zvi proclaimed himself Messiah and drew about half of Jewry with him. When confronted with the prospect of converting to Islam or losing his head, he chose his head and converted. In his footsteps followed Jewish Messiah claimant Jacob Frank whose path towards good? was "purification through transgression". Which is even more pernicious than Crowley's 'Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law' because it's cloaked in religion".
Are the Jews the 'chosen people'? Yes and no. The physical events of the old testament were a picture of the spiritual thing of the new testament. The Israel of the old testament is a shadow of the Israel "of God" (Gal 6:16) in the new testament.
Because of the rebellion of the tower of Babel God drove the nations from his presence, just as he had driven Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden, choosing only Israel as a means of bringing the promised seed (Jesus) to save mankind. So the 'chosen people' are actually Christians, those who are "chosen in Him (Christ) from the foundation of the world"! Eph 1:4
Judaism's Scriptures are not the Tanach, Torah, Old Testament but the Babylonian Talmud-Mishnah and Gemara, and the Kabbalah-Zohar. Jesus rebuked the Judean religious leadership for teaching the 'traditions of men' rather than the commandment of God!
Is the modern state of Israel holy/chosen because they occupy the holy land?
They reject Jesus so how can they be holy/chosen? Madonna was welcomed in a big production as a convert to Judaism, flanked by a Jewish rabbi and the Prime Minister of Israel--huge smiles!
