Updated: His Treasured Possession
We’ve mentioned in many of our articles and books that Christ was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel as he clearly said to the gentile woman in the coastal areas of Tyre and Sidon. [Mat. 15:24]. There was a massive theological assault on the canon of the early church, so that by the fifth century, the Roman church et al had unilaterally chosen to redefine our Biblical identity, i.e., changing the truth into a lie. The creation of a theological "reality" that isn't true began that long ago. And while we as a people remain a treasured possession to our Lord and Savior, the love of the truth of the word of God and our relationship to God has long since been replaced by myths, lies and 5th century Churchianity. This is why Christ posed the question, " ... when the son of man returns, will he find faith [Greek, pistis, conviction of the truth] on Earth?" We need to wake up to the fact that the roots of our current day dilemma are theological, not secular. When we come to understand this truth, we can remedy our situation. Otherwise, we will continue to suffer increasing dire situations in our nations as the Biblical prophecies are quite unmistakable on this point.
The biggest lie, then, is believing we are not the House of Israel, Christ’s own people. This was the first step off the path to blessings in our lives, instead we've chosen to head down the road to curses and death. So today, we are facing attempted genocide through the use of experimental gene modification technology injections, which we've brought on our own heads through our collective ignorance and stupidity. We were redefined by Jerome in his 5th century Latin Vulgate version of the Bible as gentiles of the world. [See the Feature article, Moving Forward]. Getting "Christians" to grasp this most fundamental point of Biblical truth is likely more difficult than getting Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates to publicly admit the entire truth about the covid fraud. Yet, if we did reach this point, it would unravel completely the covid lies, not ot mention the climate hoax and all the other lies and decits foisted on us by the elites, and return us to our place before God. [See Jonah 3]. Then, clearly we would see our human adversary for what he is. [See Eze. 11:12; see the Sneakers article, A Life And Death Pickle Of A Predicament].
But in making this grievous fundamental error of losing sight of our true heritage, the massive lie undermining the foundation of Christianity itself, as the entirety of the New Testament was written for us, the lost sheep of the House of Israel, we’ve walled off access to the truth of our Biblical past that would put us back on the right track to our rightful place before God. Thus, we lack faith, the conviction of the truth. And in so doing, we’ve dumped ourselves squarely into the evil pit of darkness, merrily following lies on the way to our destruction as evidenced daily now. It's gotten so bad that our people wholeheartedly embrace, and defend the lies on the way to their deaths.
Thinking we are a bunch of gentiles with no tie to our Biblical past is one reason why so many people are unable to see the truth of these experimental genetic modification injections for what they really are. We are truth hesitant. If we truly understood our ancestry, who we are in the Biblical record, our birthright, and promises given to us by our Savior, we would not give one inch of our God-given liberty away to our Adversary. [Eph. 6:12]. It is our living the truth of the word of our Lord that makes us right with God. But, we've fallen prey to the invented lies and false witness of our Adversary [John 8:44], having a completely wrong notion of our heritage. Therefore, it is our apostasy and its resultant ignorance that dooms us. We need to rediscover and embrace our Biblical heritage, which our Adversary is hoping never happens. Our continuing ignorance is his continuing power over us. [See the Feature articles, Christ Against Christians? and It's Still A Mystery].
However, in the Feature article, The Tie That Binds, we’ve seen that Christ seamlessly ties the Old Testament to the New Testament. The Biblical record is one book written to the same people. It's not the Old Testament for the Jews, and the New Testament for Gentiles. As Christ pointed out, “... that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law, and the Prophets and the Psalms [the Old Testament] concerning me.” [Luke 24:44]. If we knew who we are in the Biblical record, we fully would realize the Old Testament is our House of Israel ancestor's history too. And it is a written record of our history for us today. For those of you new to this truth, an easy place to start is with the Sneakers article, This Old House.
Peter, the apostle upon which Christ, our Lord said he would build his church, told the first century Christians, "For you are the people holy to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be the people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth."
Oops. Peter didn’t write that. Peter wrote, “But you are the chosen generation [Greek, genos], the royal priesthood, the holy nation, the peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light ...." [1 Pet. 2:9; as there is no indefinite article in Greek, ‘the’ rather than ‘a’ makes Peter’s point more precisely; see the Feature article, The Relevance of The Holy Days In The Plan Of God In The Last Days].
Sorry about the quote mix up. But they make the same point … the people holy to God … the holy nation … the LORD’s treasured possession … God’s own possession …. Well then, who wrote that first verse if Peter didn’t? Hold on. I’m looking it up. Let’s see. Ah yes, here it is. Moses wrote the first one. Moses!? Yep, right there in Deuteronomy 14:2. How about that!
Maybe that’s why in the Book of Acts, when Christianity was in its infancy we read, "Him [Christ] God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins." [Acts 5:31]. Remember, sin was defined as the transgression of the law covenant made with Israel. [See Jer. 34:13; 1 John 3:4]. And in the New Testament Book of Acts, "From this man's seed, according to the promise [as written by Moses as we’ve just read], God raised up for Israel [not gentiles of the world] the Savior—Jesus— ….“ [Acts 13:23]. Take a few moments to let this fact sink in. Please keep in mind the nation state of Israel in the Middle East is NOT the Israel of the biblical record. They are secular Zionists who are descended from Esau/Edom who falsely claim to be "Jews." [Rev. 3:9]. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. [Mat. 7:15; see the Feature articles, Mirror, Mirror On The Wall and The Tale Of Two Covenants].
Lest we think that this Acts 13 reference just applied to the first few years of Christianity, the apostle Paul wrote to Titus about 66 CE saying, “ … looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” [Tts. 2:13, 14]. That's one of our traits as Christians, zealous for good works. If you're old enough to remember, whenever there was a natural disaster somewhere in the world, the US use to be the first there with food and medical supplies or whatever else was needed. Now, it's Russia who has taken the lead. The US, the collective West and Zionist Israel, dominated by our human adversary, are zealous for evil deeds, lies and deceits, intent on harming rather than helping. Think Gaza.
Our current day predicament is as it was in the garden in Eden, choosing good, blessings, or evil, curses. Eve and Adam chose curses. The Serpent lied to them. [See the Sneakers article, As It Was In The Beginning, So It Is At The End]. This was followed by Cain killing Abel. And what are the powers that be doing with these experimental injections? Lying to us about them, [no you surely won't die if you get them] though they are designed to injure and kill us as the emerging evidence shows. [John 8:44]. Some things never change. We, on the other hand, need to change post haste and get away from our dead works. [See Heb. 6:1; and the Feature article, We're Abraham's Seed And Heirs, Not Gentiles].
The doctrine Paul mentions here reverberates from our past. “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the Earth is Mine." [Exd. 19:5]. "For by Him [Christ] all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him." [Col. 1:16]. So those who seek to create their own world order on this planet are a tad late and a reserve currency dollar short. They've bought into their own lies. The enduring world government to be implemented on Earth will be the kingdom of God, and from all appearances, in the very near future. So, Klaus, Bill or whoever else has high hopes, you should read about the one true great reset, Faithful and True, Rev. 19:11-16. [See Dan. 7:13, 14]. Remember, faith in Greek is the conviction of the truth. [See the Feature article, The Good News Colour Revolution].
However, this in no way dismisses our apostasy as the House of Israel. We need to return to living the truth of the word of God delivered by Christ and the apostles in the first century, forsaking the customs of the heathens we have adopted over the intervening centuries. Otherwise, we are to suffer a terrible time as we are told in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. And for those of you wondering, what about everyone else not of the House of Israel, read the Sneakers article, What About Everyone Else?
While our ancestors didn’t keep their obligations with the law covenant, and the House of Israel [not the House of Judah, the Jews] was divorced from God because of it [Jer. 3:8], Christ redeemed us from every lawless deed. This is the essence of the good news for His own special people. Yet, today we have been deceived so that we deny our rightful birthright and inheritance. “Blessed is the nation [of the 12 that make up all Israel, Gen. 49] whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance." [Psa 33:12]. "But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the descendants of Abraham, My friend." [Isa 41:8; also see Psa. 135:4].
Christ is our kinsman Redeemer. In the flesh, he was an Israelite, "the son of David, the son of Abraham." [Mat. 1:1; see the Feature article, And It's Still A Mystery]. As the House of Israel, we have the same Israelite seed, the same DNA as our kinsman who redeemed us. This is another reason why these experimental genetic technology injections are so diabolical. They are an evil perpetrated on us by our Adversary and his disciples. This is one reason why our day is described in the book of Daniel as " ... there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation." [Dan. 12:1]. We live in an evil time. But it doesn't mean we have to accept the evilness in our lives.
The House of Israel is the seed of Abraham, Christ’s chosen inheritance through Isaac [see Rom. 9:1-7; also Gen. 27], as the apostle Paul wrote to the ekklesia in Rome. “I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.” [One of the tribes of the House of Israel, Rom. 11:1; Gen. 49]. Also, “Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, ‘And to seeds,’ as of many, but as of one, ‘And to your Seed,’ who is Christ.” [Gal. 3:16]. As the apostle John tells us, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." [1 John 3:9; see 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; for an understanding of the concept of sin and the legal covenant versus the new covenant, see the Feature article, Can A Christian Sin?].
Peter said we, the House of Israel, are the royal priesthood. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah also makes the same point. “But you shall be named the priests of the LORD, they shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory you shall boast." [Isa. 61:6].
Moses too makes the same point about the children of Israel. “And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel." [Exd. 19:6].
We see confirmation of what Isaiah and Moses wrote for the House of Israel in the Book of Revelation, “… and has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever Amen." [Rev. 1:6]. The same point is made again in Rev. 5:10. And later in the Book of Revelation, “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." [Rev. 20:6].
"Also today the LORD has proclaimed you to be His special people, just as He promised you, that you should keep all His commandments, and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, just as He has spoken." [Deu. 26:18, 19]. This use to be our, the House of Israel's, position in the world. No longer. We have forsaken his commandments for the deceits and lies of those who seek to destroy us and our birthright. We have fallen from grace. Rather than rising to a higher existence, seeking to become kings and priests in the kingdom of God, we have descended to become lowly slaves in the kingdom of lies and deceits. [Luke 11:23; also see the Feature article, Damascus A Heap Of Ruins].
Our identity as the House of Israel is mentioned throughout the Old Testament in the context of the prophecies. By losing sight of who we are before God, forsaking the word of God, casting it out of our hearts and minds, we have become debased before men. And because we continue to refute our New Testament birthright as the House of Israel, insistent that we are gentiles and uncritically observing heathen customs in the name of our Lord and Savior Christ, we are suffering the manifestation of events in Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Micah and the other prophets meant for us in these last days. Christ's redemption of us, the House of Israel, is mentioned both in the prophecy of Jeremiah 31:33, and reiterated in the New Testament's book of Hebrews 8:10. This is who we are. [See the Feature articles, The Little Horn: First Century Antichrist, Revelation 17: Big Brother and Our Corrupted Compass].
At Christ's return, according to the prophecies concerning us, a millennium, a thousand years of peace will bless the small surviving remnant of the House of Israel, " ... I will make with them a covenant of peace ... [they] shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. And they shall no more be prey to the heathen ... Thus, shall they know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and they, the House of Israel, are my people, says the LORD God." [Eze. 34: 25-30; see chapter seven, The Hijacked Elephant]. This is a very hard and costly way for us to learn our true Biblical identity. Nevertheless, for us as individuals, we still have a short time to change our ways, get a new Spirit and heart, and return to our Lord and Savior. [See Eze. 18:31, 32].
As the House of Israel, in both the Old and New Testaments, we are the treasured possession of our Lord and Savior, Christ’s chosen inheritance. We can’t undo his choosing of us. But we can, and have rejected it as witnessed in Christianity today. Our deleterious actions are not without effects, which now have manifested themselves upon our collective heads. It’s time to throw off this cloak of deceit, the conviction of the lies, and through the strength of the Spirit of God take back our rightful heritage lost during the centuries after Christ’s first coming.
As the New Testament apostle Peter, the rock upon whom Christ built the church, wrote, we who are “the chosen generation, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, the people for his own possession … proclaim the excellencies of Him who called [us] out of darkness into His marvelous light …." It's time we live up to our Savior's sacrifice on our behalf. We need to live with the love of the truth of the word of God in us. Let the love of the truth in us put away evilness as the light of dawn puts away the darkness of the night. Let us remember, as descendants of the patriarch Abraham and his seed, Christ, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." [Mat. 5:14-16].

It's time we live up to our Savior's sacrifice on our behalf. We need to live with the love of the truth of the word of God in us. Let the love of the truth in us put away evilness as the light of dawn puts away the darkness of the night. Let us remember, as descendants of the patriarch Abraham and his seed, Christ, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." [Mat. 5:14-16].
