Eli James is a White Supremacist whose website, Anglo-Saxon Israel speaks for an organization of "Christian Identity" pastors, teachers, and researchers who believe that Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Caucasian peoples are the "true and only descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel". James has written an article for his newsletter (E-Newsletter Volume II, #5, July 1, 2005) called "Judgment Day Perspectives", which The Refiner's Fire is hereby openly challenging.

The Marks of Israel

In the story of Abram, Genesis 12-15 deals with the exploits of Abram and Lot and their travels through the lands of the Canaanites and Egypt. Three covenants are made, two prophetic and one contemporary, within Chapter 15. Verse 5 states: "And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be."

Verses 13 and 14 say: "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance."

Verse 18 says: "In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:"

God chose to give that land to Abram at that time. But Verses 13 and 14 give a hint of future bondage for a period of 400 hundred years. Verses 5, 13 and 14, and literally scores of other verses can be adduced as being pertinent to the future trials and exploits of Abraham's seed. Exodus 13:40 states that the tribes stayed in Egypt for a total of 430 years. It is possible that a formal state of bondage began after the 30th year and lasted for the remaining 400 years. The probable date of entry into Egypt was 1710 B.C. and the probable date of the exodus was 1280 B.C., during the reign of Rameses II (circa 1224 B.C.). See These Were God's People, A Bible History by William C. Martin.

Who are God's people? The Jews claim that they are; and they possess an exclusivist culture that finds its basis in various biblical claims, such as being descended from the tribes of Israel. They also claim that their religion, Judaism, is the same religion that was dictated to Moses by God. They claim to be the originators of monotheism and they claim to be the custodians of the religion of Moses. The point of this article is to show that these claims are false and easily disproved by a simple study of Scripture.

To understand the difference between Israelites and Jews, an analysis of the Marks of Israel must be made. In order to understand the clear Biblical distinctions between Abraham's seed through the line of Jacob/Israel versus Abraham's seed through the line of Esau/Edom, we must understand the divergence of both the posterity and the history of these two distinct groups of people. The people who are today known as Jews derive both their heritage and their genetic composition not from Jacob/Israel but from Esau/Edom. Contrary to the wishes of his parents, and contrary to Yahweh's Law against race-mixing, Esau “despised his birthright” by marrying into a Canaanite clan known as the Hittites. “And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and Rebekah.” (Gen. 26:34,35.)

The Netzarim Response:

Someone needs to tell Eli James to understand the Bible for what it says, not what he thinks it says!

Check out Who Is A Jew? which tells us, in order to be considered a "Jew" one must be physical descendant of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob (Genesis 12:1-3), or formally convert to Judaism - thus doing exactly what the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob commanded the Jews to do, which was to keep Torah (Numbers 15:13-16). More specificially, the term "Jew" came from the Tribe of JUDAH, which wasn't around until AFTER Jacob begat that Tribe of Judah...In the meantime, over the years, "Jew" has become a generic term for all Israelites. Because Eli James is a Sunday-go-to-meetin', Christmas and Easter Christian who insists that God's original teaching and instruction were nailed to the cross, he's not even a Jew "inwardly"....

Unless Eli James was born Jewish or has converted to Judaism, he is considered a GENTILE or, at the very least, a NON-JEW! God NEVER said that Gentiles suddenly became His "chosen people"! As a believer in Christ Eli can consider himself part of Israel, but he is not a Jew, unless he meets the above-mentioned qualifications.

The bottom line is, James is playing word games with the Bible. Just because Esau "despised his birthright" by marrying into a Canaanite clan known as the Hittites, it doesn't negate the fact that he was a born and bred as a JEW! Eli James' accusation is as ludicrous as suggesting Michael Jackson is Caucasian simply because he looks the part....Jackson was born a Negro and he will die a Negro, and no one can change that.

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

This, despite Isaac's warning: “Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.” -- Gen. 28:1. In other words, Esau became a race traitor. He joined the enemy. The Jews acknowledge their Edomite heritage in many of their in-house writings; but they do not admit this in their public proclamations for fear that True Israel might catch on to their charade. “Edom is in modern Jewry.”- Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925, Vol. 5, p41.

The Netzarim Response:

In a word: BALONEY!

God even promised to make "the Jews" a nation again, which happened in May of 1948 when "the world" briefly felt sorry for the Jews after the Holocaust - and it happened in one day, just as the Prophet Isaiah prophesied! If Jews had somehow been replaced as the "apple of God's eye", why would He bother to keep such a major promise?

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Jacob's mother, Rebekah, even went so far as to say that her life will have been in vain if her other son, Jacob, follows in the footsteps of the race-traitor, Esau. “And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth [Esau's Hittite/Canaanite wives]: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?” (Gen. 27:46.) (In other words, dear men of Israel, DO NOT MARRY OUTSIDE YOUR RACE!) Since Esau was the grandson of Abraham, his offspring can claim descent from Abraham; however, that is the end of their genetic and social relationship with Abraham. Once Esau despised his birthright, he became a stranger, producing non-Abrahamic offspring among the Hittites and other Canaanites.

Just look at a typical Jew and see the marks of the various racial strains that have been mixed into his blood. They are all mamzers (mixed race children)! “The shew of their countenance doth witness against them.” (Isa. 3:9.) They are the physical evidence of the Jewish violation of the Law against intermarriage! How much more evidence do you need?

The Netzarim Response:

Firstly, mamzer means "bastard" which can apply to anyone who was born out of wedlock; not just "the Jews." Secondly, we can't figure out where or how Genesis 27:46 says that Esau's Jewishness was somehow negated through his marriages since Esau wasn't a Jew. There were no "Jews" until Jacob begat the Tribe of Judah! That, in itself, negates Eli James' ridiculous assertion. Yes, Esau didn't value his birthright very much, but that had nothing, whatsoever to do with his heritage. There are plenty of Gentiles who don't value theirs, either. (Case in point, Michael Jackson, who even changed his own RACE! There were plenty of Gentiles who left everything behind in order to follow the Hebrews out of Egypt with Moses....What would Eli James call them?)

Secondly, Genesis 25:29-34 tells us that Esau, the older twin brother of Jacob, was tricked by Jacob into giving up his birthright (leadership of Israel) in exchange for meal of lentils. Genesis 27 tells us how the mother, Rebekah, plotted for Jacob to take Esau's blessings. Jacob's name means he grasps the heel, (figuratively, he deceives). He TWICE deceived Jacob - first by getting Esau to sell his birthright, and then by pretending to be Esau and getting their blind father to give him the blessing.

Next, we learn in Genesis 28: 8 Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac; 9 so he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had. SO WHAT???? All this shows is that Esau was just another irreverent and defiant person. What he did is no different from what most people do. Check out your evening news, Eli, and wake up to discover what kind of hypocritical and ungodly world you live in...

Now, to the comment, "the typical Jew": James said Isaiah 3:9 proves that "all Jews are mamzers". However, a third-grader reading this passage could easily see that Isaiah 3:9 speaks of "a look of arrogance or defiance"! It's got nothing, whatsoever to do with race, color, or creed. James should learn to read Scripture IN CONTEXT and stop generalizing. Here's a challenge for Eli James: Provide us a notarized copy of YOUR ancestry! It would truly be interesting to see what crawls out of the proverbial woodpile!

The entire U.S. is FULL of "mixed races" - not to mention, former slave owners and murderers of Native Americans. If one's ancestry leads back to Plymouth Rock, chances are your own people helped slaughter Native Americans, or owned slaves. So, what gives Eli James the right to come off as "holier than thou"? We'd like to remind this "pastor" that he's not being very "Christian" because it seems he likes to present himself as judge and jury! Ignorance is a dangerous thing.

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

In my previous JDP Newsletter, The Enmity, Part 1: The Two Bloodlines, I delineated the separate and distinct family trees of the Edomites of Esau's seed and the Israelites of Jacob's seed. If these two seedlines are indeed separate and distinct, then both biblical prophecy and history will demonstrate this distinction. The study of the Marks of Israel is the study of these prophecies and the related history. Isaac and his wife Rebekah disowned Esau and embraced Jacob for the clear reasons stated in Genesis, Chapters 24 through 28. (Please take some time out of your busy life and read these chapters so you will understand Yahweh's displeasure in race-mixing.) From the day when Esau despised his birthright, both the Bible and secular history tell of these two antagonistic nations, as a continuing fulfillment of the Enmity as stated in Genesis 3:15.

The Netzarim Response:

James' "two seedline" idea is unbiblical. See our article, Challenging: The "Two-Seedline" Myth in which we take on the "Christian Identity" followers....

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Genesis 3:15 is the very first prophetic statement contained in the Bible. In order to emphasize the point, Paul, reiterating Yahweh's words, in Romans 9:13, states, “Jacob have I loved; Esau I have hated.” The fact is that the prophecies regarding the children of Israel have been fulfilled only by the Jacob/Israel branch of Abraham's seed. The prophecies concerning the children of Esau have been fulfilled only by the mixed seed of Esau/Edom, today known as Jews. (Read the Book of Obadiah to get a real eye-opening serving of Yahweh's displeasure with Esau and his descendants.) These prophetic Marks must be analyzed; and it must be shown that the prophetic statements made by God with regard to Israel's descendants cannot have been and were not, in fact, fulfilled by the Jews.

The Netzarim Response:

Genesis 3:15 and Romans 9:13 have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. That is pure conjecture! Gen. 3:15 talks about how the "seed of woman" (Messiah Yeshua/Jesus) will crush the tempter one day - not the Jews! James could have some "eye-opening" experiences, himself, if he were to try to view the Bible from a "Hebrew" instead of a "Greek" perspective! We suggest he reads The Problem and the Solution Concerning the "Virgin Birth" .

Does Obadiah SAY that Esau gave up his Jewishness? Just because one disowns a relative doesn't negate the fact that they were Caucasian or Baptist or Mormon (or whatever)! So, how was Esau no longer a Jew?

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Here follows a list of the identifying Marks as they occur in the Bible. Some will be quoted in their entirety and others will be merely adduced for the reader's own reference. The references are too numerous to be given individual treatment.

The passages referred to as the Marks of Israel are those which are the most obvious references concerning the fate of a distinct group of people. That group of people is the Israelites, but the promises made to Abraham apply to Israel because Israel is a direct descendant and because the promises (covenants) were distinctly remade to Israel.

Already quoted above were Genesis 12:2,3 ("I will make of thee a great nation."), Gen. 15:5, regarding Abram's innumerable offspring, and Genesis 15:13, regarding the four hundred year period of bondage.

The general nature of God's promise to Abraham is given in Genesis 17:2-6. "And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee."

The Netzarim Response:

So when, exactly, did God negate His covenant with Abraham?

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Some very specific promises have been made in this passage. By looking at this small collection alone, we can already see that none of these prophecies have come to pass with regard to that group of people known as Jews. The Jews claim to be the only heirs of the promises made to Abraham, saying that the Lost Ten Tribes have been destroyed, never to be heard from again. The Jews cannot be said to have ever been known as "many nations", unless a case can be made for the internationally scattered ghettoes as "nations".

The Netzarim Response:

Since Eli James' claims have so far proven to be "dead in the water", the Jews REMAIN the "only heirs of the promises made to Abraham"! GOD said so, and now The Refiner's Fire says so!

"Internationally scattered ghettos"?

James seems to have forgotten that the Jews were scattered among the nations (Genesis 49:7, Leviticus 26:33) and that they have MAINTAINED their Jewishness EVERYWHERE they ever settled! (Thank GOD they were scattered because, if it hadn't been for the Jews, Christianity would never have been born!)

For thousands of years Jews have carried their religion with them wherever they have gone - despite successive waves of invaders who chased the Israelites from their ancestral home and have tried, in vain, to annihilate them! Can any other "religion" say the same?

There are approximately thirteen million Jews left in the world today. Most of them live in established Jewish centers such as Israel and big cities in North America and Western Europe. However, there are Jewish communities in Africa, Asia, South America, and the Former Soviet Union, in which the Jewish populations do not have white skin....

James might call them ghettos, but God USED those "ghettos" for His glory after the Holocaust to make one of His major end times prophecies come true when He returned Israel to the Jews in 1948! Since 1948, Israel has grown from a small smattering of Jews to around 7 million strong. Ghettos? James needs to go to Israel and check the Land out for himself!

And while he's at it, we suggest he get on his knees to thank the Jews for their contribution to society! Jews currently make up approximately 0.25% of the world's population and 2% of the US population, but at the same time, they also comprise the biggest percentage of Nobel Prize Winners! (Wonder how many Nobel Prizes Eli James or any of his Christian Identity, White Supremacist, Neo-Nazis have won?)

• Chemistry (28 prize winners, 19% of world total, 28% of US total)
  
  
• Economics (21 prize winners, 38% of world total, 53% of US total)
  
  
• Literature (12 prize winners, 12% of world total, 27% of US total)
  
  
• Physiology or Medicine (52 prize winners, 29% of world total, 42% of US total)
  
  
• Peace (9 prize winners, 10% of world total, 11% of US total)
  
  
• Physics (45 prize winners, 26% of world total, 38% of US total)

Not only have Jews proven themselves to be highly intelligent, but they are the ONLY people in the entire universe who have managed to keep their religion AND a separate identity throughout the millenia. How many Gentiles can claim the same? This can only happen when God's hand of protection is on someone....

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Also, they have always been a minority within the nations where they have lived. In their modern history, they have had only two nations of their own: 1.) The nation that the Idumeans, through Antipater and his son, Herod, stole from the Tribe of Judah in 150 B.C., and 2.) the so-called State of Israel. Because the Twelve Tribes of Israel were divorced by Yahweh and exiled into the wilderness starting in 745 B.C., True Israel did indeed become lost; but, as you will see, WE'RE BACK!

The Netzarim Response:

What asinine arrogance! What's "BACK" is the "Christian Identity" weirdos who think they've replaced God's Chosen because they've twisted Scriptures to serve their purposes. They're no different from Mohammed who also twisted Old Testament Scriptures in order to come up with Islam! As a matter of fact, even THINKING of hating another human being makes Eli James no better than a murderer....(Proverbs 11:9, Bible verse Proverbs 16:27, Psalm 101:5). "White Supremacists" are guilty of hatred, gossip and slander - things which God clearly states He HATES!

At the risk of bursting Eli James' bubble, the "time of the Gentiles" is over with. Gentiles have had their chance and basically failed at trying to lead Jews to Jesus - mainly because they don't know how to talk to a Jew. One of the first things Christians tell Jews is that they need to give up Torah, the seventh day Sabbath, and the Biblical feasts. (For those people who believe that Torah was abolished, we ask that you read Jesus was not a Christian.)

There are thousands of "Christian" denominations, none of which are even close to how God commanded us to worship Him - especially those "White Supremacist" hatemongering bigots who call themselves "pastors". Rather than to belittle Jews, it apparently has never occurred to them to do what JESUS would have them do, which is to try to lead everyone and anyone to the Lord - ESPECIALLY the Jews!

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Neither have the Jews multiplied exceedingly. Even today, their numbers, compared to other races and nationalities are very small. Nor can it be said that any number of kings have come from the ranks of the Jews. The Judahite Kings who remained in the land of Judah until the usurpation by Herod were all pure-blooded Davidic Judahites, not Jews. Remember, the Jews pretend to be Judahites, hence their anachronistic use of the word 'Jew' falsely applied to Judah.

The Netzarim Response:

Jews haven't multiplied exceedingly? It seems the Jews have done very well, considering they've come back from the brink of extinction several times - after "Christians" and others tried their best to annihilate them....

Deuteronomy 7: 6 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.

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

To add to our list of the Marks of Israel, we will cite first the nature of the Mark and the Scriptural references, which say it either explicitly or in similar words.

“And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife…and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her [Ouch! – Eli]; and she said,…Why am I thus?…And Yahweh said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels…” -- Genesis 25:20-26.

Here is wisdom: Regarding the descendants of Adam, Seth, Heber, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel), as distinct from the descendants of Esau:

The Biblical Marks of Israel

1.) The throne of David to be perpetuated forever. (The last king the Jews can lay claim to is Herod Agrippa II. This Edomite/Jewish dynasty consisted of only four kings: Herod the Great, 73 B.C – 1 B.C., Herod Antipas, 1 B.C. – 39 A.D., Herod Agrippa I, 39 – 44, Herod Agrippa II, 44 – 70 A.D.); II Sam. 7:13; I Chron. 22:10; Psa. 89:35-37; Jer. 33:17,20; Gen. 49:10. In contrast, True Israel (the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, and Caucasian peoples) can demonstrate that the ongoing dynasties of monarchic Europe, including the present British monarchy, are directly descended from King David. Charts showing these lines of descent are available from the various British Israel organizations in America, Canada and Britain. The Jews can demonstrate no such heritage.

The Netzarim Response:

Check out Yeshua's genealogy from Abraham to David in Matthew 1; 2:6; and Micah 5:2. Yeshua was a Sabbath and feast-keeping, Torah-observant, kosher JEW!

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

2.) "A great nation and a company of nations." Genesis 17:4,5,15,16; 18:18; 35:11; 46:2-3; 48:4,19. A nation is defined as a country inhabited by a certain group of people having specific laws and customs. Throughout history the Jews have lived within the national boundaries of other nations, preferring to live in ghettoes or other small groups where their rabbis can keep close tabs on them. From these ghettoes have arisen numerous secretive enclaves conspiring against the very thrones of the Davidic dynasties. Through this parasitic practice of establishing a secretive State Within a State, the Jews have been successful in stealing our nations from us. Marrano Spain is a perfect example. Britain was stolen away from the British people by the House of Rothschild; and now America has been stolen away from us by the Edomites of the Federal Reserve System and the Neocons. The State of Israel is, in fact, the only nation the Jews have ever had; and even this nation was stolen from the Palestinian people and is parasitic in that it relies totally on outside funding for its existence. Pertinent question: Since the Israeli State is not self-sufficient, does it count as a “nation”?

The Netzarim Response:

"Through this parasitic practice of establishing a secretive State Within a State, the Jews have been successful in stealing our nations from us." James just contradicted himself! Didn't he just mention that the Jews only had a few ghettos?....

"State of Israel is, in fact, the only nation the Jews have ever had; and even this nation was stolen from the Palestinian people and is parasitic in that it relies totally on outside funding for its existence." Rabid and hateful words for someone who has no proof to back them up! HOW was Israel stolen? Perhaps Eli James would do well to read Dr. Julian M. White's article, Facts About a Palestinian State, which says, in part:

"Many accounts of 19th century travelers to the Holy Land, like Mark Twain, attest to the sorry state of the former "land of milk and honey" converted to a land of "death, weeds and desolation." Mark Twain recounted how he and his entourage on a 50-mile walk to Mt. Tabor did not meet up with even a single human being.

"Would the world have tolerated in 1897, at the end of the 19th century, the slogan which the first World Zionist Congress adopted for itself, i.e., "A Land Without A People for A People Without A Land"? Not if in reality the land had to be acquired by displacing another people! Would the Balfour Declaration or the League of Nations Mandate or the Resolution of the United States Congress, each projecting the restoration of the Jewish National Home in the Land of Israel, have made these proclamations had the Arab people been ensconced on the land? Absolutely not! Moreover, much of Jewish inhabited territory was legally purchased and the deeds officially recorded."

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Within Anglo-Saxon Israel, we have three solid representatives of a “company of nations.” These are the British Commonwealth, the Canadian Provinces and the United States of America. The Jews have never had a company of nations.

The Netzarim Response:

So what? Where's the prerequisite that says they had to?

"Anglo-Saxon Israel"...."Solid representatives of a company of nations". Hmmm. As one of those "Anglo-Saxons" Eli James should certainly be proud to be among the representatives of the United States of America - the country that came into being when the "white Christians", after killing tens of thousands of Natives, rounded up the rest to put on "reservations" where a great number of them are still living today....Bet the Native Americans have never had "a company of nations" either!

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

3.) "A multitudinous seed." Genesis 13:16; 15:5; 22:17; 24:60; 26:4,24; 28:3,14; 32:12; 49:22; Isaiah 10:22; Hosea 1:10; Zechariah 10:7,8. The Jews have always been one of the smallest ethnic population groups. This is still true today. Compare their population to that of the White Christian nations, True Israel.

The Netzarim Response:

We repeat:

Deuteronomy 7: 6 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.

Has God ever said this to "the white man"? If He has, please provide chapter and verse!

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

4.) A leading nation in the world Genesis 27:29; 28:13; Deuteronomy 2:25; 4:8; 7:6; 28:10; Isaiah 43:4; 60:10,12; Jeremiah 31:7. The Israeli State can only be considered a “leading nation” to the extent that the American taxpayer allows it to exist. Certainly, no “great nation”, an alternate meaning, would have to depend on someone else's money to survive.

The Netzarim Response:

Israel is a great nation, and has been ever since the Jews have been the owners of the Land in 1948. Tell us exactly HOW do American taxpayers allow Israel to exist? The things James alleges are not only lies but unsubstantiated, arrogant and ignorant allegations.

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

5.) A mighty seagoing people Numbers 24:7; Deut. 33:19; Psalms 89:25; Isaiah 60:5. (No chance here for the Jews!)

The Netzarim Response:

Who cares, and what, exactly, does that mean? Where is it written that one has to be a "mighty seagoing people"?

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

6.) Israel to have a new language Isaiah 28:11. (The Jews have tried to preserve Hebrew – at least their corrupt version of it -- to this day. This is part of their ongoing cloak of masquerade as Israel.) We Israelites have a new language: English.

The Netzarim Response:

"Corrupt version"? Hebrew was good enough for GOD and it was Yeshua's native tongue. The "Old Testament" was translated to every other language from Hebrew and Aramaic! In order to PROPERLY understand the Bible, it would certainly behoove Eli James to learn a little Hebrew....

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

7.) Israel to be known by another name. (The Jews still claim the old name, Israel, for themselves.) Isaiah 62:2; 65:15. We are now known as Anglo-Saxons, WASP's, Caucasians, Christians...take your pick.

The Netzarim Response:

God called them Yisrael, and so why would the name be changed to something else? Calling the people or the Land "Anglo-Saxons, WASP's, Caucasians, Christians" would sound ridiculous! God never said "WASP's" replaced Israel and they were now His Chosen People....

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

8.) Israel to forget its identity as the Covenant people. (NOTE: The Jews have an unbroken historical claim on the promises bestowed upon Abraham's seed; thus, they never could have had the collective amnesia which Scripture says would befall Israel.) Isa. 29:10-12; 42:16,19,20; Hos. 2:1-8; Romans 11:7,8,25. Er, excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Anglo-Saxon, would you please wake up to your true identity? It is essential that you know who you are if you want to be part of God's Kingdom.

The Netzarim Response:

You haven't proved a thing "Mr. and Mrs. Anglo-Saxon", except that you don't know your Bible, and what you do know, you've twisted....You're practicing Replacement Theology which is absolutely unbiblical!

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

9.) Israel to be hidden because of its loss of identity Psa. 83:3; Isa. 49:2; Matthew 13:44. The Jews were never hidden. Indigenous populations (host countries) were always aware of their presence and their pretentious claim to being “Israel”. Throughout history, the Jews have made themselves so unwelcome that they have been expelled from virtually every nation that had the misfortune of letting them in. The Jews have always stuck out like a sore thumb.

The Netzarim Response:

So do hatemongers like Eli James. We CHALLENGE him to take a poll in the U.S. on how NORMAL people feel about "white supremacy" and "Neo-Nazis" so they can see exactly what the rest of us Americans think of them!

Here's some food for thought: There are 77 references to Israel in the NT and none of them refer to the Church or the Gentiles. Try replacing the words, "the Church," where Israel is mentioned and the passage is rendered unreadable and silly, e.g., Rom. 10:1, "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved." If you put "the Church" where Israel is mentioned, then it is redundant. The Church is the body of saved believers, so how could Paul's prayer be for the Church to be saved? Does this mean Eli James isn't saved? He's certainly not "God's Chosen", so where does that leave him?

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

10.) Israel to have a new covenant (a reference to the Last Supper Covenant) – Jer. 31:31-33. Daniel, Chapter 12. (The Jews deny that this prophecy was fulfilled by the Messiah.) Hebrews 8:10-13; 9:15-17; Luke 1:77; 2:32; 22:20; John 11:49-52; Galatians 3:13. (The Jews still claim to adhere to the Old Covenant (Torah). Just witness their eye-for-an-eye treatment of the Palestinians as opposed to the Christian concept of forgiveness.)

The Netzarim Response:

"The Last Supper Covenant"? Unless we're missing something, there's no "Last Supper Covenant" in the Bible! Yeshua was the New Covenant; He IS the New Covenant, and nothing else matters.

We, at The Refiner's Fire are Jewish, and we are "saved" Jews who believe that the entire Bible is important; not just the New Covenant. By calling the "Old Testament" Torah, Eli James shows he hasn't got a clue as to what Torah is all about. Torah is the first five books of Moses, not the entire "Old Testament". And by the way, through Yeshua God gave us a New Covenant, NOT a new Torah, which means as long as Eli James ignores the Biblical feasts or goes to church on Sunday, he's breaking the Fourth Commandment and ignoring God's "appointed times"!

Speaking of a "Christian concept of forgiveness" - it certainly isn't evident in the awful things Eli James has written about the Jews.

11.) Israel will remember its identity just before the last days Ezekiel 39:7,22-29; Hosea 3:5. (We are returning to Yahweh and have rediscovered our Davidic heritage!) This prophecy is highly significant for us today, especially since we are awakening to our true Identity at this very moment!

The Netzarim Response:

Davidic heritage? Really? Eli James is clearly not Torah observant, nor does he keep the Biblical feasts, or the seventh day Sabbath - so, his "Davidic heritage" has no real meaning for him. Instead, as supposed "Christians" he and his followers are offering God "strange fire" via the man-made holidays of Christmas and Easter...

James will have "rediscovered" his Davidic heritage when he finally becomes Torah-observant. Until then, he's guilty of doing nothing but paying lip service to God. Steeped in blatant arrogance, pride and hatred, he's not even "lukewarm" and will surely be spit out of Yeshua's mouth upon His return....

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

12.) A people who would recognize the Messiah. (The Jews, of course, did not and still do not.) – Daniel, Chapter 12 (the 70 Weeks prophecy), Acts 5:27-33; Romans 11:26,27.

The Netzarim Response:

It is evident that James is obviously generalizing. There are thousands of Messianic Jews, including us, at The Refiner's Fire! Granted, most Jews do not yet realize that Yeshua is their Messiah, but they will very soon!

On the other hand, how many Gentiles "recognize" the Messiah? The churches are full of hypocrites who wouldn't recognize Jesus if they fell on Him! Most people have put God in a box and are trying to make Him do THEIR will. And those are the very ones who (like Eli James) - instead of trying to help Jews realize who Messiah is and what He did - make fun of them, or belittle, persecute or kill them.

A SIDE NOTE: The Refiner's Fire gets occasional e-mails from people who tell us we are too "rough" on people and should witness with a "gentler Spirit". That's great advice, but the fact is, "gentle" doesn't work on people such as Eli James and his followers. They need to be challenged point blank, without any "pussy-footing" around, because that's their style. Their website reeks of hatred and misinformation, and SOMEBODY has to get in their faces and force them to see the Truth. Most likely, it won't sink in, but at least - on Judgment Day - we can say we have done our part....

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

13.) A missionary people. (The Jews have historically kept to themselves and have not tried, since the time of the conversion of the Khazars (around 800 A.D.), to convert others to the exclusive faith of "the chosen people". The only exception to this rule is when they convert people who can be very useful, either financially or politically, to their subversive causes). Gen. 22:18; 28:14; Isa. 43:10-12,21; 66:19; Micah 5:7.

The Netzarim Response:

There's a reason Jews have "kept to themselves" - because they've been attacked, nearly annihilated, and hated everywhere they've ever been. Why? Because they're God's CHOSEN! They've been accused of everything from killing Jesus to eating babies. Most people don't ever stop to think that, if God hadn't scattered the Jews into the nations, no one would have ever heard of YHWH (Yahweh), because knowledge of Him would have been kept confined to tiny Israel.

Yeshua's birth caused a major uproar because, immediately, the world began to point their collective finger at the Jews. No one ever mentions the fact that it was ROMAN SOLDIERS who actually did the nailing! And nobody ever stops to realize that Yeshua HAD to die because He was our FINAL SIN SACRIFICE. He nailed our past sins to the cross, along with the need for animal sacrifices. OUR SIN nailed Him to the cross - but yet the world has persecuted the Jews for it! What hypocrites!

Jews don't have any "subversive" causes, but the "White Supremacists" certainly do! That's why they and their ilk hide out in places like the backwoods of Oregon and Montana, hoarding guns to use against the government and making weird plans to spread their sick ideas! You don't see Jews doing that!

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

14.) Israel to be kind to other people and set slaves free Deut. 15:11-15; Psa. 72:4; Isa. 42:7; 49:9; 58:6. (Actually two Marks in one!)

It was Anglo-Saxon Christianity which set the slaves free. Here, the Jews fail again, as the Rothschilds and other Jewish bankers were the financial agents of the international slave trade up until the Civil War, at which time they supported both the North and the South. Judah P. Benjamin was their highly placed agent in the Confederate government. Even today, the State of Israel has been condemned for its tolerance of white female slaves used for prostitution. According to Christopher Bollyn in the Aug. 20, 2001 issue of the American Free Press, “Israel” is one of the top trafficking nations in the world: “The Trafficking Act calls for economic sanctions in 2003 against those countries that fail to act against traffickers. If Israel fails to take significant steps to end the slave trade it could face sanctions...Estimates range between 2,000 and 3,000 women and children being trafficked into Israel each year, 95 percent of them coming from the collapsed economies of the former Soviet Union. Although most are older, children as young as 12 are also involved.”) Still think the Jews are “God's Chosen”? I think they work for the other guy. What's his name, Satan?

The Netzarim Response:

Oyve! Just as Eli James picks and chooses Scriptures to support his twisted idea of Christianity, he also picks and chooses articles to support his idea that Jews are criminals. Why didn't he provide some articles that show the enormity of crime in the US by "whites" or the population in general?

As far Anglo-Saxons setting the slaves free, the fact remains, Americans HAD slaves! America also has one of the worst school systems in the world; one of the highest abortion rates; and one of the highest crime rates. We also have the largest number of "Christian" denominations and kooky religions in the world, which includes Eli James' Neo-Nazi, narrow-minded, bigoted "White Supremacists".

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

15.) Possessing the gates of her enemies Gen. 22:17; Gen. 24:60. The Jews have never had a great military. The one they possess now is courtesy of the extortion extracted from the German people due to the hoaxacaust propaganda and courtesy of the U.S. Taxpayer.

The Netzarim Response:

That is a truly moronic thing to say! Who says one has to have a "great military"? The U.S. military hasn't been "great" since WWII! They have involved themselves in every little conflict all over the world because, for some reason, the U.S. thinks it's the world's "policeman". Remember Abu Graib? Great military doesn't harass or terrorize its prisoners. If the U.S. had such a "great military", then why didn't we win Vietnam? What's taking so long in the Middle East? Our people are dying but nothing much is happening. Has our "great military" found Osama Bin Laden? Has it stopped Islam in its tracks?

On the other hand, let's discuss what happened in 1967 when SEVERAL Arab states (including Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria) went up against TINY Israel and its virtually nonexistent Army at the time - and Israel won! Why? Because GOD was in charge. God doesn't need a "great military" to win His battles.

The "hoaxacaust"? It's obvious that Eli James has never visited a concentration camp, because, if he had, he would be talking out of the other side of his mouth. Before making ignorant statements such as the above, he should have taken the time to interview actual concentration camp survivors - (or, at the very least, have spoken to E. Falch, a former friend of my mother's who worked at Bergen-Belsen). We, at The Refiner's Fire, have been to Dachau and Bergen-Belsen, and you can believe us when we say, there was no hoax. While there, we realized that God allowed this horror to happen at a time when man didn't yet have the technology to convincingly fake photographs or film....

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

16.) To colonize the world Gen. 28:14; 49:22; Deut. 33:17; Psa. 2:8; Isa. 26:15; 27:6; 54:2,3; Micah 5:7-8. Zech. 10:8,9. The Anglo-Saxons, again, have colonized the world. The Jews have merely followed us wherever we went in order to take advantage of our prosperity. (This is an especially strong fulfillment of Genesis 3:15, which tells us that “It [meaning Adam and Eve's pure seed] shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his [the seed of Adam and Eve] heel.” Wherever Jacob/Israel has traveled, the Jews have been nipping at our heels. Their head was crushed once by General Titus, a Roman descended from Israelite stock. They recovered from that experience – Serpents don't give up easily! – only to come back for more. Just wait until the Judgment Day! The proud head of the tares is sticking very high. “Pride comes before a fall.”)

The Netzarim Response:

The Jews have "followed" the Gentiles? Weren't the Gentiles already populating the rest of the world when the Jews were dispersed into the nations?

Genesis 3:15 speaks of Messiah, not "the seed of Adam and Eve"! God is telling the serpent that Eve's offspring will bruise/crush its head. It tells of the struggle between humankind and evil in which we will be finally victorious over evil. It's got nothing, whatsoever to do with the Jews. Back in Adam's day there WERE NO JEWS, so why would God bother to speak about them? Satan and evil were then, and always have been, God's enemy - not the Jews! If the Jews were God's enemies, then why would He have called them His Chosen? Eli James' argument is not only sick, but it makes no sense, whatsoever!

17.) They shall make deserts blossom, an agricultural people. (The Jews are not known for their agricultural talents. A Jewish farmer is virtually unheard of except on an Israeli kibbutz. The Zionist claim to having made the desert bloom is mere propaganda. The Jewish tour guides who make this claim in front of Christian tourists in “Israel” must have a great belly-laugh every time the Christians swallow this joke. The Palestinians have always had rich groves and orchards in Palestine. The Jews have not increased the production of agriculture one whit. Mark Twain, as part of his world-wide travelogue tour a century before the Zionists invaded Palestine, wrote an excellent account of his trip to Palestine in which he describes the beautiful agricultural conditions there). Gen. 27:28; Deut. 8:7,9; 28:11; 33:13,14,28; Isa. 35:1-2 (“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them.”); 43:19; 58:11,12. Historically, the Jews have never produced farm products at all. It has always been the Anglo-Saxons. Anglo-Saxon farmers have literally fed the world. The “holy” book of the rabbis, the Talmud, says, “No occupation is inferior to that of agricultural labor.” (Yeb 63a., Exh. 161.) Have you ever met a Jewish farmer? – even in “Israel”?

The Netzarim Response:

"The Jews are not known for their agricultural talents." This statement would be funny if it weren't so ludicrous. Eli James' education level must be extremely low because if he were to read a history book about Israel, he would have seen, with this own eyes that, before the Jews returned to Israel in 1948, the Land was a barren desert that NOBODY wanted! It was inhabited mostly by criminals and the dregs of Arabian society who were kicked out of their own countries. They did NOTHING with The Land outside of inhabiting it!

Let's check a few BIBLICAL facts:

Amos 9:11 and 13 tell us that the ruins of Israel would be rebuilt. This was Fulfilled in late 1900s. In Amos 9:11, 13, the prophet said that God would restore the land of David. (King David ruled Israel from about 1010 BC to about 970 BC). The land of David - Israel - was conquered and destroyed by the Babylonians, Assyrians and Romans. The land has been in ruins for much of the past 2000 years. The Jews, who had been scattered throughout the world, began to return in large numbers during the past 100 years. Since then, they have been rebuilding many of Israel's ancient cities. Amos also said there would be continuous planting and harvesting. During the past 100 years, the Jews have been using advanced farming and irrigation techniques to turn barren land into productive farmland. Today, Israel is a source of food for many countries.

Isaiah 51:3 tells us that Israel's deserts will become like the Garden of Eden. In Isaiah 51:3, the prophet said that God will restore Israel and make it a paradise, like the garden of Eden. This foreshadows what is currently happening in Israel. The Jews have been irrigating, cultivating and reconditioning the land during much of the 1900s. Many of the country's swamps, which had been infested with malaria, have been converted into farmland. And water from the Sea of Galilee has been channeled through portions of the deserts, allowing some of the deserts to bloom. Much work remains, but parts of Israel are blooming again. Although it was described as a wasteland as recently as the late 1800s, Israel is now a food source for many countries. And at least 200 million of trees have been planted there during the past century.

Because Cain murdered Abel, God said to him: “When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.” – Gen. 4:12. This seventeenth Mark is especially damning of the descendants of Cain because Abel's blood was spilled onto the ground; and his blood cried out for revenge. (Gen. 4:10). Who are the people known the world over for being fugitives and vagabonds? Could it be the “wandering Jew”? This is an undeniable aspect of Jewish heritage. When Esau married the two Hittite women, he married into the Canaanite lineage. Thus, Jews are the descendants of Cain. They possess his genetic material in their blood. Yahweh clearly tells us that He will exact His revenge on them at the Judgment Day. (Read the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares in Matthew, Chapter 13.)

The Netzarim Response:

Neither Cain nor Abel had a thing to do with the Jews! How are Jews "descendants of Cain" when Cain's genealogy isn't even mentioned in the Bible? There were no Jews until Genesis 14! HOW is Matthew 13 about "Yahweh clearly tells us that He will exact His revenge on them"? Where does Yeshua EVER say that this is directed at the Jews?

18.) Israel to find a new home away from Palestine Gen. 28:14; II Samuel 7:10; I Chronicles 17:9; Isa. 41:1,5,9; 42:4,10,12; 49:1-3,12; 51:5; Jeremiah 3:18; 31:7-10. (Europe, America, Australia, South Africa! Yes, that includes the Canadians! Let's not get too inclusive!)

The Netzarim Response:

We checked every one of these passages and NONE of them talk about "Palestine"! WHO was God talking to in Genesis 28? It was a JEW! Furthermore, the Jews were "away" from Israel for thousands of years, and they've been back to ISRAEL since 1948.

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

19.) To be the lineage of the Messiah II Samuel 7:13; I Chronicles 22:10; II Chronicles 13:5; Psa. 89:35-37; Jer. 33:17; Luke, Chapter 3, in which the lineage of Jesus Christ is given from Adam to Jesus. (As we all know, the Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah; and the Bible clearly shows Jesus in the line of descent from which he was supposed to come. The Jews rejected Jesus because He was not one of them. He told the Jewish rabbis of His day, the scribes and Pharisees, “Ye are not my sheep.” Both Joseph and Mary are recorded in the Gospels as being descended from King David. The scribes and Pharisees, by that time, were a mixture of Idumean blood plus some Israelite blood. According to the Bible, no half-breed can be considered an Israelite. Therefore, the Jews are of a different genealogy and have no royal blood in them, unless you want to count the Dukes of Edom as royalty.)

The Netzarim Response:

Jesus was not "one of them"? Wow! In that case, we ask Eli James to explain why was Yeshua was a tallit-wearing, feast-keeping, synagogue-attending, Torah-observant, kosher JEW! He was born of a Jewish woman, who was a descedant of an entire line of Jews! Yeshua was a JEW! The Bible says so.

In Genesis 49:10, Jacob is blessing his 12 sons. This blessing was also a prophecy. Jacob told his son Judah that his descendants will be rulers and that one of his descendants will be an ultimate ruler. "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his." Christians believe that this is a reference to Jesus Christ who will establish an everlasting kingdom in the future. Jesus was born about 2000 years after Jacob died. Jesus' ancestry is traced back to Jacob's son, Judah, in Luke 3:23-34 and in Matthew 1:1-16. Today, some estimates claim that there are as many as 2 billion Christians worldwide who follow the teachings of Jesus, the JEWISH Messiah.

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

20.) "In Isaac shall thy seed be called." (Beth-Sak = House of Isaac = Isaac's Sons = Saxons) Gen. 21:12. When I first read this passage, I said to myself, “This is no reference to the Jews!” The Jews never quote this passage of Scripture because they are not descendants of Isaac through Jacob. It is only True Israel which can lay claim to this genetic heritage: Isaac's Sons = the Saxons = the Anglo-Saxons. We are named after Isaac. The Jews claim to be named after Judah. It would be impossible for them to explain away the plain meaning of this passage, so they suppress it. The pro-Jewish pastors of “Judeo-Christianity,” to their great discredit, ignore this passage as well.

The Netzarim Response:

True Israel is the Jews as we have proven above. Eli James, on the other hand, is teaching "another Jesus" and "another gospel" because none of the things he espouses can be verified in the Bible. He has twisted Scripture until it is unrecognizable.

"Judgment Day Perspectives" continued....

Conclusion

The above are a quick scratching of the surface of the evidence which proves that the Jews are not Israel. These are only some of the most obvious references to the future Marks of Abraham's true Adamic seed, Israel. Many more descriptive statements could be adduced, but these should suffice for the moment. The cited list ought to be sufficient for distinguishing between the two different groups of people contending for the designation, "Heirs of the Promise", or "The Covenant People", or "The Chosen People". Score: Anglo-Saxons, 20; Jews, zero…and counting. Would someone care to calculate the odds against all of these prophecies coming true among one group of people? The odds are probably sixty kajillion to one. The odds for the Jews are also zero.

The only identifiable group which can fit the Marks of Israel is the three Houses of Isaac: the House of Israel, the House of Judah, and the House of David. The House of Edom is reprobate. The descendants of all three of these Houses of Isaac, yesterday, today, and forever, fall into the category of the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Caucasian peoples; and NO ONE ELSE.

The Netzarim Response:

Eli James is a racist hatemonger, as all of his teachings indicate. He is an anti-Semite in every sense of the word and should not be trusted. We urge our reading public - and, especially James' followers - to ask the Holy Spirit to open their eyes so that they may finally see GOD'S TRUTH!

All prophetic truth revolves around the Jews. The Bible reviews their history and unfolds their future. The future of the world will be affected by the future of Israel.

"Judgment Day Perspectives"? We suggest Eli James and his ilk put aside their limited, human mindsets and discover what God REALLY says about that!
