NOTES KJV BIBLE

 

If only Noah's family survived the flood, and we are all related from them, why are we not Jewish?

Answer:  Noah was not Jewish and, according to the Torah, lived long before the Jews existed. According to the story, he had 3 sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The Jews form only one tiny branch of the descendants of Shem.

According to the Torah, Abraham was a descendant of Shem and Abraham fathered both Ishmael, progenitor of the Arabs, and Isaac, who fathered Jacob (aka Israel, patriarch of the Israelites/Jews) and Esau (patriarch of the Edomites of the Negev).

Ham was cast as the father of the Egyptians and Canaanites, and Japheth as the father of the Greeks and Romans.


My note:  think about this, is there a difference between a Jew born in
Israel in our time and an Israelite in God's time?  God chose the Israelites to be his people.  His people originated from their own country.  They as a nation turned from serving God.  So God scattered them all across the country.  They had no home land.  They were taken captive at least twice.  Once by the Egyptians and once by the Baby-leonians.  They sinned against God many times and turn from him many times, but he forgave them and promised he would bring them back to their own country and they would be a Nation once more.

THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL, AS ONE!

     God's people on earth was made up of the twelve tribes of Jacob and called  Israel.  When the tribes asked God for a King is when the nation officially became a Kingdom.  But God warned them that it would come with its challenges,                                                                      THE GREAT DIVIDE           In about the 10th century  BCE something took place that dramatically affected the people of Israel and still effects' them today.  It was the Great Divide.  This divide split the people into two kingdoms the northern part of the kingdom was called Israel.  The southern part of the kingdom was called Judah.            I Kings 12:16-19 tells us "And when all Israel saw that the King did not listen to them, the people answered the King, "What portion do we have in David?  We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse."  "To your tents, O, Israel! Look now to your own house, David."  Israel has been rebelling against the house of Dav

UNNATURAL USE OF THE BODY

           Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated by God to spread the news concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Jesus was of the seed of David according to the flesh.  Paul declared Jesus as the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead.             "Beloved of God, who are called to be his saints...First I want to thank, my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all.  Your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.  For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers.  I made a request to God, if it is His will I come to you.  For I long to see you, that I might share with you some spiritual gift, so that you may in the end, be established.  That I also may be of comfort with you all together by our mutual faith.  I proposed to come to you, that I might bear some fruit among you, even among other Gentiles

THE PARABLE OF A WEDDING AND FEAST

This is the parable of a Wedding and Feast found in the 22nd and 23rd Chapters of Matthew.   Chapter 22:           The Kingdom of Heaven is similar to the parable of a certain King who planned a Wedding for his son.  The King sent out servants to invite people to the wedding, but they would not come.           So the King sent out more of his servants to invited the people to a special feast he had prepared for them.  But they made light of the inviti-tion and went their own ways.  One went to his farm.  Another went to sell his merchandise.  The rest took his servants, harassed them and killed them.  When the King heard what the people had done to his servants, he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.           The King then said to his servants, "The Wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.  Go to the highways and find people to invite to the Wedding."  So his servants went out and found both good and bad people to invi
