Seeing as how we acquire half of our DNA from our father and half from our mother, and so on, there is no way tht David can be wholly Jewish and a full-fledged Israelite.
Fine. Then you are not an American.
I never said anything about a ?pure race? because there is no such thing as a
?pure race!? Everything I have been talking about has to do with
prophecies that deal with
a line of people that were given
special privileges and promises that descended from Abraham through Isaac and
Jacob, not Abraham Isaac and
Esau or any other line.
The Jewish people have been dispersed for many centuries and countless generations around the world and yet have maintained their
distinction as a race from the local races in the nations they have been dispersed to while maintaining their
genetic differences.
The idea that
Darwin started the concept of ?race? with his theory of evolution is as silly as putty.
Webster gave this definition of race in 1827 long before Darwin wrote his book.
RACE, 1. The lineage of a family, or continued series of descendants from a parent who is called the
stock. A race is
the series of descendants indefinitely. Thus all mankind are called the race of Adam;
the Israelites are of the race of Abraham and Jacob. Thus we speak of a race of kings, the race of Clovis or Charlemagne; a race of nobles, &c.
The
Jews come from the stock of Abraham (Acts 13:26). Only in recently
politically correct dictionaries do you find
?race? morphed into
?nation.? On a job application or government census when they ask what ?race? you are they aren?t asking where you come from but your
heritage. There are many White people that live in Africa. Try getting a job by claiming to be
?African American? for a special minority scholarship when you have blond hair and blue eyes unless you are Elizabeth Warren of course.
Acts 17:26-27 (NKJV)
26 And He has made from
one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and
the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
17:26
one blood. All men are equal in God?s sight since all came from one man, Adam. This teaching was a blow to the national pride of the Greeks, who believed all not-Greeks were barbarians.
The boundaries or their dwellings. God is responsible for establishing nations as to their racial identity and their geographical locations (Deut 32:8) and determining the extent of their conquests (cf. Isa 10:12-15) ?
John MacArthur
God did not restore the Jews back into their land because they are
better than other races or
more righteous. The one main reason for the restoration of the Jews is
to bring glory to God. No power on earth on in hell will destroy present day Israel and drive them into the sea because God said so! It doesn't matter if you or the Palestinians or the
entire world doesn't like it for at the Battle of Armageddon their Messiah will crush the Gentile world powers and make Israel the head nation. It is at that time Israel will be converted.
Ezekiel 36:21-23,32 (NKJV)
21 But
I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations wherever they went.
22 ?Therefore say to the house of Israel, ?Thus says the Lord God:
?I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel,
but for My holy name?s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. 23 And
I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and
the nations shall know that I am the Lord,? says the Lord God, ?when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. 32
Not for your sake do I do this,? says the Lord God, ?let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!?
