Who are the Children of Israel? The Seed of Jacob? Part 1

Who are the Children of Israel? The Seed of Jacob?
By Tziona Yisrael

Many would say that the Children of Israel are the "White Jews" who now inhabit Israel. One might ask, "Who cares?" Others might ask, "What difference does it make? Those people lived thousands of years ago."

And that is just the point. The Children of Israel lived thousands of years ago and still exist today. Therefore, the existence of this nation of people makes all the difference in the world, and the reason is that they choose to return to the Laws of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and choose to return to their land, the Land of Israel. But the question still remains, "Who are the Children of Israel?" And, "Who can prove to be the rightful beneficiaries of this LAND and HERITAGE."

What does the God of Israel have to add to this inquiry? Are the answers "hidden" in the scriptures?

During the time that the Children of Israel wondered in the wilderness, they sinned against their God, and He set His hand to begin to scatter them into the four corners of the earth.

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.Psalm 106:26,27


At this point, it should be made perfectly clear that it was the Most High God who scattered the Nation of Israel and cursed them to go into captivity by their enemies. This was not a mere decision on the part of His people to pack up and relocate or what some might term voluntary emigration to other lands.

And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. Leviticus 26:32-34

Israel, "The ten Lost Tribes" went into captivity, first.

In the ninth year of Ho-shea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. II Kings 17:6


Judah and some priests followed later:

And afterward saith the Lord, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy. Jeremiah 21:7

Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.

The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy. Lamentations 1:3-5

Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.Lamentations 2:9


The God of Israel had previously told His people that they were compelled to keep His Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and told them that they would be blessed if they were obedient.

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Deuteronomy 28:1-4 (Read also Deuteronomy 28:5-8)

The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.

And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.

And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. Deuteronomy 28:9-12

And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. Deuteronomy 28:13,14


BUT, the Children of Israel would not keep the Laws of their God but worshipped false gods and were cursed with captivity in their enemies' lands.

The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.Deuteronomy 28:25

And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. Deuteronomy 28:29

Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.

The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:Deuteronomy 28:32,33

The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. Deuteronomy 28:36,37

Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. Deuteronomy 28:41

The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

He shall lend to thee and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Deuteronomy 28:43,44

Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young; Deuteronomy 28:48-50

And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other: and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shalt give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: Deuteronomy 28:64-66

And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen and no man shall buy you. Deuteronomy 28:68

Again it should be noted that this prophecy was given to the nation of Israel AFTER they came out of Egypt. Here the Lord said that HE would bring them AGAIN into Egypt but this time WITH SHIPS.

I said I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: Deuteronomy 32:26

Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the Lord have spoken it. Ezekiel 21:32

Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou has made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.Ezekiel 22:4

Now that you have been provided with this biblical input, let's analyze this information to determine the truth. (Keep in mind that these prophecies took place after the Children of Israel left out of Egypt.) At what time in history were the "White Jews" oppressed and spoiled, given unto another people or went into captivity by way of ships, low and their enemies on high, the tail and their enemies the head, or when, on this earth, were these people ever wearing a yoke of iron??? Read any documentary or book on how the Portuguese initiated the slave trade, African Slavery, or United States Slavery, and you will be reading about the curses God put on the Children of Israel. The most cruel and inhumane history of enslavement befell black slaves, not only in the United States, but black slaves throughout the world.
