Taipan,
Thanks.
I watched it.
Brit = covenant
Ish = man
I am aware of the 'British' peoples are 'covenant-man' [lost tribes] argument.
Taipan,
QUESTION;
Even if there is a legitimate connection to the 'British' peoples as the 'covenant-man' [lost tribes],
what worth, is a covenant that has been broken, and continues to be flouted, by one of the parties to that covenant ?Taipan,
If you want to be led down the path that Eli James is offering to you, i can't stop you.
But it is not a path for me.
e.g.
Listen to what Eli James admits, at, 23m 50s, about those peoples who are the 'real' Israel today....
'Israel' [the 10 tribes], separated themselves from Jerusalem [the holy city, AND SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE COMMANDMENTS, AND STATUTES OF GOD], and corrupted themselves!!!
But Eli James calls the 10 tribes of 'Israel' [the 10 lost tribes], the real Israel ???
Really ?
But listen to Eli James speak it, at, 23m 50s....
They are the peoples who corrupted themselves - in their northern kingdom -
"and made two calves of gold, and said unto them,....behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
!!! cited... 1 Kings 12:28
LOL
Taipan,
Yes, the tribes of Israel were divided into two nations, 'Israel' [10 northern tribes], and Judah [Judah and Benjamin] in the south.
Yes, the descendants of other tribes of Israel, still exist.
But are those descendants [today] of the other tribes,
1/ 'in covenant' [and obeying the commandments, and statutes of the original covenant] with their God, and,
2/ are they 'seeking' their God, and,
3/ how exactly are those peoples
showing reverence to their holy God, today ?
How ?
Or, are they [the majority of those lost 'covenant peoples'] still behaving as though they are 'lost' [and spiritually separated from their creator!], and wandering, lost, in the spiritual 'wilderness', that the world is ?
Q.
If those descendants are not 'seeking' their God, today,
why aren't they ?
A.
Because they are 'lost', in the world.
Just as the Jewish people - too - have been 'lost', in the world.And the vast majority of those 'lost' peoples have 'gone native' [spiritually], in this world, they are living in 'Babylon' and in 'Egypt' again.
====================================
The point I'm getting at is that you were quoting from the Bible as though the words themselves were in relation to todays Jews as if todays Jews are the modern day descendants of the Ancient Hebrews; they're not.
That should tell you something because basically they have been fooling the Western world that they are the people of the Bible and therefore they have some kind of God given right to Palestine and that we must treat them like they're special.
