Isaiah 11: 10 On that day the root of Yishai, which stands as a banner for the peoples - the Goyim will seek him out, and the place where he rests will be glorious. 11 On that day Adonai will raise his hand again, a second time, to reclaim the remnant of his people who remain from Ashur, Egypt, Patros, Ethiopia, 'Eilam, Shin'ar, Hamat and the islands in the sea. 12 He will hoist a banner for the Goyim, assemble the dispersed of Isra'el, and gather the scattered of Y'hudah from the four corners of the earth.

1. JUDAISM took its cue from the Word of YHWH which has been around for as long as man has been alive - or at least 6,000 years. Believing Jews are Torah observant as YHWH instructed! The Tribe of Judah was chosen to teach the world about Torah (Genesis 49:10, Micah 4:2) and: YHWH caused Yeshua to be born into the Tribe of Yehudah/Judah.

2. CATHOLICISM AND CHRISTIANITY arrived on the scene approximately 1,900 years ago. Both "religions" borrowed Scriptures from the Jewish Torah, then twisted them and rendered useless God's Torah (Divine Instructions in Righteousness, without which we have NO blueprint for moral, holy living). In the meantime, they changed the Name of our Savior along with the dates of His birth, death and resurrection and came up with their own "holy days" while negating His commanded Biblical Feasts and the Seventh Day Sabbath.

3. ISLAM was concocted by a man named Mohammed who borrowed Scriptures from the Torah and twisted them into a brand new religion 610 years AFTER the death of Messiah.

"Jews are the only people in the world who are continuously forced to justify to others their existence as a nation and spiritual entity and to prove their land rights on Palestine. Any other nation, regardless of their short non-existent history and even genocidal past, do not have such obligations! Why aren't Israel-haters questioning the right of the USA or Australia to exist?" - Steven Shamrak

Romans 11:11-12: "But I say: Have they so stumbled as to fall entirely? May it never be! Rather, by their stumbling, life has come to the Gentiles for (awakening) their jealousy. And if their stumbling was riches to the world, and their condemnation riches to the Gentiles; how much more their completeness?"

PLEASE NOTE: Many are under the impression that "the Jews" are God's Chosen, but this is a misconception to a certain extent. They weren't His "chosen" because they were "better than everybody else"; they were His "chosen" to take the news of YHWH and His Torah into the world...just as Miryam (Mary) was "chosen" to be the human vessel to carry and give birth to His Son.

"The Jews" has become a blanket description for all Israelites - but in actuality, only someone born into the Tribe of Judah can claim they are Jews. Remember, there were 12 Tribes, Yehudah (Judah/"the Jews") being only one of them, although the "favored" one because Yehudah was charged with bringing Torah to the world. Yeshua came from the Tribe of Yehudah....

Genesis 49: 10 The scepter will not pass from Y'hudah, nor the ruler's staff from between his legs, until he comes to whom [obedience] belongs; and it is he whom the peoples will obey.

Micah 4: 2 Many Gentiles will go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of ADONAI, to the house of the God of Ya'akov (Judah's father)! He will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Tziyon will go forth Torah, the word of ADONAI from Yerushalayim.

As far as the Torah is concerned, however,we must remember there were no Jews until after Jacob fathered the Tribe of Yehudah (Genesis 29:35; Matthew 1:1-2). The Tanach (OT) shows that His Chosen were called Hebrews (Genesis 14:13). Abraham, was not a Jew; by accepting YHWH as His God and obeying His Torah, he became a HEBREW, which means "to cross over." All his descendants were "Hebrews" - as is anyone who is "grafted in" through the blood of Yeshua!

AND HERE'S A KICKER: The Scriptures read in context reveal that EVERYONE, beginning with Cain and Abel, was Torah observant - which negates the Christian claim that they don't have to obey God's Law! ANYONE who believes in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is to be Torah observant, and God even said so FOUR TIMES IN A ROW in Numbers 15:13-16! YHWH (Yahweh) chose Abraham because He wanted to (Deut. 7:6-8) and He reiterated this in Jeremiah 31:32 by making His New Covenant with the Houses of Israel and Judah - both of whom were Torah observant.

NOW, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS: If it hadn't been for Elohim's CHOSEN being scattered into the nations (Ezekiel 36:19) who were ultimately referred to as "Jews," YHWH (Yahweh) and His Son Yeshua would have remained the best-kept secret of tiny, little Israel, and the rest of the world would still be writhing in Paganism. One cannot condemn those Jews who are not yet Believers in the Mashiyach because God hasn't opened their spiritual eyes, yet.

They are, however, Torah observant believers in YHWH, which brings them a lot closer to Him than any Christian who ignores God's original Divine Instruction in Righteousness (Torah) in favor of Sun-day worship and paganistic "holidays". Harsh words? Yes, but we are living in the end times as outlined in the Bible, and time is short. Jew-bashing is NOT the way to please God! The Bible tells us that anyone who goes up against them in any way will suffer His wrath:

Genesis 12:3 - "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

Note that YHWH wasn't talking to "the Jews" at that point; but, rather, to the first Patriarch, Abraham who "crossed over" (which is what the term "hebrew" means) both physically and spiritually when he accepted YHWH as his Elohim. There were no "Jews" until the third Patriarch, Ya'akov (Jacob) gave birth to Yehudah (Judah) whose offspring became one of the 12 Tribes of Israel....

Deuteronomy 7:6-8: For you are a people set apart as holy for ADONAI your God. ADONAI your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure. 7 ADONAI didn't set his heart on you or choose you because you numbered more than any other people - on the contrary, you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 Rather, it was because ADONAI loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors, that ADONAI brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from a life of slavery under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt.

Again, note that YHWH wasn't talking to "the Jews" at that point; but, rather, to the 12 Tribes of Israel....He didn't give the Land to just "the Jews"; He gave it to the descendants of Abraham. That is who the Land belongs to.

Genesis 15: 18 On that day YHWH made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates...."

Myriad websites on the 'net try to debunk this fact and make Jews out to be "bad guys" - from the likes of the KKK and other "white supremacist" hate groups, to Christians who support the idea of "replacement theology" which insists that with the New Covenant, God turned His back on the Jews and transferred His promises to Gentile Christians. Our question to those people is: Since God never had an "old covenant" with the Gentiles, how could He possibly have a "new covenant"? His covenants were made with the House of Judah and Israel, not with the Gentiles (Jeremiah 31:32). Therefore, we ask that you educate yourself thoroughly and objectively before jumping onto the "hate bandwagon" and check to see what the Scriptures actually say! After all, the Gentiles "borrowed" from the Jews the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - who appeared to man in the form of a tallit-wearing, Sabbath and Feast-keeping, kosher JEW.

Jeremiah 31:35-37: This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar- the LORD Almighty is his name: "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD, "will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me." This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD.

Romans 11:25-27: "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

The Bible tells us there is a limit to YHWH's "grace and mercy" - according to what is happening in the world, we are in the end times as outlined in the Books of Daniel and Revelation.

A word to anti-government and conspiracy theorists: We're in the end times, so stop wasting your time on "conspiracy theories" and man-made ideas and concepts. Instead, concentrate your efforts on God and His Word. Nothing else matters!
