Who Is Israel?

The chosen seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Not a religion. Not a movement. A people. A bloodline. A covenant nation.

đź“– Israel Is a People, Not a Religion

Israel is not a church. Not Judaism. Not Christianity. Not a political state created in 1948. According to Scripture, Israel is the **descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel by Yahuah in Genesis 32:28).**

These twelve sons of Jacob became **twelve tribes**, a chosen nation. Yahuah made a covenant with **their bloodline**, promising to set them apart forever — to be His own people above all others (Deuteronomy 7:6).

đź“ś What the Word Says About Israel:

  • Genesis 17:7 — “I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant…”
  • Exodus 4:22 — “Israel is my son, even my firstborn.”
  • Deuteronomy 32:8-9 — “Yahuah’s portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance.”
  • Amos 3:2 — “You only have I known of all the families of the earth…”

🌍 Where Are They Today?

The real children of Israel were **scattered by slave ships** (Deuteronomy 28:68), oppressed, colonized, and made to forget their heritage (Jeremiah 17:4, Psalm 83). They were not “lost” they were hidden in plain sight. Enslaved. Renamed. Lied to.

They are the descendants of the transatlantic slave trade, sub-Saharan captives, and scattered Hebrews across the Americas, Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond — **Black people, real Israelites, and their mixed multitudes.**

✊🏿 Israel Is Not:

  • Not white Europeans claiming the land today (Revelation 2:9)
  • Not a “church” made of all nations (Romans 9:4-5 makes that clear)
  • Not a religious club or denomination
  • Not spiritual metaphors or replacements

đź“– Yahusha Came for the Lost Sheep of Israel

Yahusha said, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” — Matthew 15:24. That means He came for the scattered, disobedient, covenant-breaking children of Jacob, to bring them back to the Father through repentance, obedience, and truth.

🤝 The Stranger Can Join Israel — But Never Replace Her

The Gentile (stranger) can sojourn, learn, and serve alongside Israel — just like in the Torah (Exodus 12:49, Isaiah 56). But they do **not become Israel by blood**, and they **can’t replace her**. Yahuah never changed His people. He only scattered them and now He’s waking them up.

📢 Wake Up, Israel!

If your history was stolen… if your name was changed… if your ancestors were enslaved… if you feel the pull to return to the commandments of Yahuah and follow Yahusha in truth — **then you are Israel. And it’s time to come home.**

“He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.”
— Jeremiah 31:10
