Part One, Abraham to Abraham

This is what the Bible says, about the Israelites, all 12 tribes.

What has happened to the Israelites ? There are 12 tribes in all but only one of these tribes still live in the land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants forever. This is the city of David or Jerusalem. Which is in the country called Israel.

In the last 65 years many prophetic scriptures have come to life as the Bible said they would, and they have been fulfilled as the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob prophesied, about His chosen people, The Jew. But what happened to the other tribes, of Israel ?? Why does the Bible speak of the lost ten tribes of Israel, and why does it say, over and over, that there is a differance between the Jews, from the tribe of Israel, and the tribe of Israel ??

 The only way to find out is to look for the best kept records of who's who, and that would be the Bible. The Bible tells us when and where the lost ten tribes of Israel went to, and it also  gives us, in writing how to know for sure where they went, and who they are now. I'll start with Abraham.

Genesis-11;26, Now Terah lived seventy years and begot Abram, Nahor and Haran.

Abram was born 1948 years after God had created Adam, and 292 years after the flood.

Genesis-12;1,"Get out of your country, from your kindred,and from your fathers house,

2, I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.

3, I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

4, So Abram departed as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Abram left Haran in the year 2023 aa, I'll keep you in the know about the years because it helps to know when all this took place, and it makes it more interesting.

Genesis-13;14, And the Lord said to Abram, after lot had separated from him,"Lift your eyes now now and look from the place where you are-northward-southward-eastward-and westward; 15,"For all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.

6, "And I will your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.

So that if a man could number the dust, of the earth.    If a man started counting the people of America, which stands at 300,000,000 today
{three hundred million}, He would die before they were all counted. This is why. If a man could count 1 person per second he could count 3600 people in 1 hour.

If he counted 3600 people an hour for 16 hours a day he would count 57,000 people a day.

This is a lot of people to count in one day. I'm just using this as an example. He would count 403,200 people every 7 days,or in one week. 16 hours a day for 7 days is 112 hours a week. Just so you'll have an idea of the time and energy he would need. One year or 52 weeks at 403,200 means he will count 20,966,400 people per year. In ten years he would have counted 209,664,000 people. That is two hundred nine million six hundred sixty four bodies.

That would leave him 90,336,000 people left to count. It would take just about 14.5 years to count 300,000,000 people. This does not include the children that would be born while waiting to be counted. Then the ones that would have to be counted that the line standers would have.The man would die before they could all be counted. And God said that the descendants of Abram would be like the dust of the earth. In other words no man could count them all.

Did you know there are only 6,426,679 people in Israel today ?? Did you know that a man could in fact count these people ?? And that it would only take him about 16 weeks to do so ?? 16 weeks is only 4 months. I just wanted you to think about this as you read the rest of what God has to say.

Now Back To Abraham.

Genesis-16:16,Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Ish-ma-el means God is hearing. Ishmael was born in the year 2043 a.a.

Genesis-17:1, When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, " I Am Almighty God;{El Shaddai} walk before Me and be blameless. 2, "And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly." 3, Then Abram fell on his face and God talked with him,saying. 4,"As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5,"No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6,"I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7," And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an :EVERLASTING covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

Abraham means multitude of nations. If Israel is the only country of the Israelites and the Israelites were all Jews, then God has made a mistake or has lied to Abraham. God told Abraham He would make him a father of many {a mounting to a larger or indefinite number or amount} nations {a group of people made up of one or more nationakites under one government.}

Some say that there were so many Jews {Israelites} that they made up a large number of the population of other countries. But God didn't say I will make you a father of many people in other contries,and the owners of just one. Did He ??

Genesis-17:15, Then God said to Abraham,"As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name, 16 "And I will bless her and also give a son by her; Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations,kings shall be from her. 17,"The Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart,"shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old ? And shall Sarah,who is ninety years old bear a child? 18, And Abraham said to God,"Oh that Ishmael might live before you. 19, Then God said"NO!!,Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac: I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

Now why do you think,God called Abrahams son Isaac? Isaac means laughter, When God told Abraham he was going to be a father at 100 years of age,when he and Sarah were way past their child bearing years, he laughed. And so will others, but there is another reaon his name was called Isaac.

Genesis-21:1 ,And the Lord visited Sarah as He said, and the Lord did for sarah as He had spoken. 2, For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a sonin his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken tp him. 3,And Abraham called the name of his son Iwho was born to him-whom Sarah bore to him-Isaac. 4, Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days ols, as God had commanded him. 5, Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac, was born to him. 6, And sarah said,"God has made me laugh, so that all who hear will laugh with me." 7,She also said,"Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children ? For I have borne him a son in his old age. 8, So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.

It was customary to nurse a child until he or she was three years old.

9,And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian,whom she had born to Abraham, scoffing.{laughing}. 10, Therefore she said to Abraham,"Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namly Isaac.

I'll get back to Ishmael and who his son-in-law will be later. And everyone was filled with laughter because of Isaac. And because Ishmael laughed in disrepect, he was cast out of the house of Abraham, and the covenant God made with Abraham, will now be given to Isaac. Isaac was born in the year 2048 aa,and was weaned 3 yeaars later in the year 2051aa.

In chapter 22 God tested Abraham and told him to take his only son to a place where God had told him to go. Then after three days Abraham Isaac and two other men arrived at this place. Then Abraham took some wood that was for the burnt offering and placed it on the sholder of Isaac,then they went to the top of the mountain to worship God.

Isaac was 37 years old when Abraham laid Isaac on the alter of wood then picked up his knife and was going to kill his only son. BUT!!!!

Genesis-22;11, But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said,"Abraham,Abraham," and he said "here I am." 12,And He said do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son,your only son, from me.

After Abraham did this he saw the ram caught in the thorns bushs and offered it up instead of Isaac. Then he called this place The-Lord-Will-Provide. and He did.

Now this is what God told Abraham after He saw that Abraham was willing to be obedient to the point, that he would give his only son.

Genesis-22;15, Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16,and said,"By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17," In blessing I will bless you,and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18."In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

This is why you should study the Bible and the histoy books. Have all the nations of the world been blessed because of the tribe of Judah ? or the Jews? They have only been a nation for 60 years, and in that 60 years they been been the cause of unrest . NOT because it was their fault,but because of their enemies fault. Their enemy is the Paleistines and all other muslems who are Ishlamic. That's because they are from the seed of Ishmael. I'll get back to him later.

Sarah died while Abraham and Isaac were on their way back from obeying what God had told them to do. Sarah was 127 years old at the time, and Isaac was 37, Abraham was 137 years old. Sarah died in Kirjath Arba or Hebron, a city 22 miles south of Jerusalem. Sarah died in the year 2085 aa, 429 years after the flood. 3 years later,after Sarahs death, Rebekah was called to go to isaac. This is what she said.

Genesis-24:57, So they said,"Wewill call the young woman and ask her personally." 58,Then they called Rebekah and said to her,"will you go with this man?" And she said I will go. 59, Sothey sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham servant and his men.

NOW PAY CLOSE ATTENTION HERE.

60, and they bleesed Rebekah and said to her: "our sister, may you become ,The mother of thousands of ten thousands; and may your descendants possess the gates of those that hate them.

This is the same thing God blessed Abraham Isaac and Sarah with. Now Rebekah has been added to the list, which makes 4 people that has been told they will be the parents of ten thousand x ten thousands, of descendants. That would be 40 x 400,000 or 160,000,000 and then some.

Then after Isaac and Rebekah met in a field, and after Isaac had been told of how Abraham had sent his servant to get Rebekah, Isaac took her for his wife. It was the year 2088 aa and Sarah had been dead for 3 years.

Genesis-24;66, And the servant told all the things he had done. 67, Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent;and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mothers death.

Isaac was 40 years old when he took Rebekah for his wife, and Sarah his mother had been dead for three years. Isaac had been in mourning for 3 years.

Genesis-25:19, This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac. 20,Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padam Aram,the sister of laban the Syrian.

It was 20 years later that Rebekah gave birth to two sons, twins, named Esau and Jacob. Esau who was born first then Jacob was born holding on to the heal of Esau, so they were born at the same time.

Genesis-25:26, Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esaus heel;so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

Esau and Jacob wre born in the year 2108 aa. Abraham was 160 years old when his grandsons Esau and Jacob were born. Abraham died 15 years later at the age of 175 years of age.

Genesis-25:7, This is the sum of the years of Abrahams life which he lived; one hundred and seventy five years. 8,Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man full of years, and was gathered to his people. 9. and his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite. 10, The field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried and Sarah his wife.

Ishmael was 89 Isaac was 75 and Esau and Jacob were 15 years old when Abraham died. It was the year 2123 aa.
