I just read an article in National
Geographics from December 2001 entitled 'Abraham, Journey of Faith'
by Tad Sxulc. There were glaring inaccuracies in the article and
because of my research into 'Who the Israelites really are,' I am
challenging these mistakes.
The article was written with the
present-day bias that 'Jews' came about thousands of years ago and
that Judaism was the 'religion' of Jesus Christ. The words
'religion' and 'jew' came about centuries later. While it is true
that most people living in the Middle East, including Jews, are
Semites, even the Bible tells us Abraham bred with an Egyptian to
produce a son.
Egyptians are not Semitic, although
about 4,000 years ago, Semitics did invade lower Egypt but were
driven out. So for Abraham to have a son by Hagar, 'an Egyptian
slave' to his wife Sarah but daughter of a Pharaoh, shows us that
Semitics mixed their blood. 'Hagar' came to
Abraham after he and Sarah were banished out of Egypt.
“Note that her name was mentioned 10
time in the bible Hagar is not an Egiptian (sic) name even though she
was an Egiptian. Her Egiptian name was Haqa -Re. Hagar was the
Hebrew name used in the bible not Haqa-Re . In reality she was the
daughter of I - En-hotep ( a Ptahite ).” Ptahites look like black
Africans or Ethoepians.

other information states that Hagar was a Hamite, descendant of Ham,
and was Semitic, not black.
This author uses the term 'three
faiths' instead of 'religions' but has broken down those 'faiths'
into 'Jews, Christians and Muslims.' I find major errors in these
'three faiths,' although I believe the word 'faith' is closer to
being correct than 'religion.' (Judaic, Christian, and Islamic)
First, the word 'Jew' was not used in
ancient times; they were citizens of Judea. This mistake seems to
have happened while people were translating, again, the Bible and
inserted the word 'Jew' to replace 'citizens of Judea.' Second, Jews
consider themselves a race, not a faith. They say their 'religion'
is Judaism. After the 'faith' of the Old Testament, the Catholic
Church was created by Constantine in about 300 A.D., to control the
masses.
The word 'Christianity' came much later
on, perhaps not cemented in common vernacular until the 1980s. When
the Catholic Church was going full bore, the 'others' were called
Protestants, which described Baptists, Calvinists and the other
'religions' out there at the time. There is today a concerted effort
to lump all 'religions' except Judaism under the word 'Christianity.'
We should not judge behavior from 2,000
years ago that is non-American, by our standards. We can see that
the behavior of those in the Middle East does not seem to have
changed much for thousands and thousands of years and that behavior
fire is fanned by Jews toward non-Jews. The Semitic Arabs in the
Middle East began having problem with the minority Jewish population
in about 1929, complaining about the power Jews were obtaining. The
Arabs got no help as the British punished them and not the Jews. The
fire was smoldering in the Arab nations, which included Judea and
Palestine, who feared that they could lose their land because their
land included Jerusalem.
While Jerusalem remained in Catholic
and Muslim hands for thousands of years, Jews knew that if they owned
it, they could claim that they are the Israelites of the Bible and
that the land belongs to them. The problem, however, is that there
were no Jews in Christ's time or before. There were the radical
Zealots of the common Middle East 'faith' and traditions' who took
over Herod's Temple and who Jesus was upset with in that Temple.
If this article had been written toward
the beginning of the 20th Century, the tone would have
been quite different because the Catholic Church was very strong and
many nations and peoples had a low opinion of the Jews because of
their self-centered, cultist behavior. Throughout history they have
never assimilated in nations they have lived in and have been kicked
out of over 90 nations. The Jews of today are the Zealots of Jesus'
time and they have morphed into an ideological group of disgruntled
people that strongly unite behind the propaganda that Jews are the
Chosen People and should be Rulers of the World. They fail to
mention that what they are claiming as their own is Christ's message.
Jews are not followers of Christ so it defies logic to read and see
Jews taking over the 'faith' of Christ.
It is interesting to note that some
research states that Cro Magnum, which is Homo Sapiens, first
appeared 35,000 years ago. Some researchers also believe that
Abraham was born 75,283 years after the year in which Adam was born.
Both the Neanderthal (Europe and southwestern to central Asia) and
the Cro Magnum (Evolved in Africa) are thought to have started
200,000 years ago but the Neanderthal only made it from 200,000 to
28,000 years ago. So, if these researchers are correct and Adam was
born about 79,883 years ago, Adam was mostly likely Cro Magnum since
that species survived and the Neanderthal did not.
However, it has been proven that the
Ice Man, dating to 3.500 B.C., did not have entirely European DNA in
his cells but had some Neanderthal. The Ice Man was from southern
Italy, although found in norther Italy by the Switzerland border.
John Hawks, an Anthropologist, states : "We are more different
genetically from people living 5,000 years ago than they were
different from Neanderthals." So, if those from the Middle East
and Mediterranean area mixed little with Europeans, they should still
be mostly genetically ancient.
I believe that Jews of today still
harbor remnants of ancient genetics, which can cause them to have
diseases that other people do not. Therefore, my conclusion is that
the Zealots of Jesus' time evolved into the Jews of today and are
therefore a mutant of the original Semitics that resided in the
Middle East. If for thousands of years a certain behavior is done
over and over by a clannish group of people, that behavior takes
president and becomes dominant in that strain of humans.
In my blog entitled WHO
THE ISRAELITES REALLY ARE, I wrote:
“Unlike
the Semitic Akkadians and their descendant Assyrians...” is another
example of how 'race titles' change in ancient Middle East.
Pharoahs, Abraham and Judah all married their half-sisters but when
Lot had children by his two daughters, that broke the purity of that
lineage and separated these semitic groups even further.
The
Jews of Israel have reduced the Christian and Muslim population to
fractions of what it was pre-1948. After the 1967 Six Day War, they
also kicked out most of the indigenous people of the Sinai Peninsula
including the Arab Bedouins. If, as Jews claim, they are the people
God loved, why do they murder, steal and segregate themselves? In
contrast and sensibility to what Golda said is an ancient Arab
proverb: “Men resemble their times more than they resemble their
ancestors.”
The Jews of today were not the people
that Jesus Christ associated with. In fact, he tried to correct
their behavior of stealing from the people. Jesus was against the
behavior of the Zealots. But when the Romans banished the Zealots
in 70 A.D. throughout Europe, they came back with a vengeance and plotted to remove the
Catholics and Christians from God's favor and put themselves into
that position by changing the words in the Bible from 'Judeans' to
'Jews' and trying to make people believe it was 'Jews' that were
taken to Egypt when, in fact, those people were banished twice to
Babylon.
The Zealot Jews never corrected their
behavior or belief that they were wronged. It has taken 2,000 years
and the help of the United States to put the nation of Israel on a
map that never existed for them in the first place.
And articles such as this
one show how inaccurate and without thorough research some
authors of today are on the subject of the Jew.
