Around 600 B.C. Israel was carried into captivity by the Babylon’s and the first siege of Samaria and the Northern Kingdom closed. Esther had no choice but to become the woman who King Artaxerxes mated with. As a result, King Artaxerxes issued the command to Nehemiah to restore and to build Jerusalem in the 20th year of his reign. Ezra was a contemporary.

According to the book of Ezra 6 vs. 21...

"[A]nd the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the L-rd G-d of Israel, did eat... "

After the captivity in Babylon when the decree was issued by King Artaxerxes pure Jews and inter-marrieds were given freewill to go back to Jerusalem. ( See Ezra 7 vs. 13)

Take note in the Book Of Ezra 2 vs. 1-60,  the Hebrew names of The People revealed in the genealogy of those who went back to Jerusalem. (See also, the Book Of Nehemiah 7 vs. 46 - 64**)

____________________________

**The Nethinims were descendants of the Gibeonites and other foreigners. They were taken from the people in proportion of one in fifty to assist the Levites (Num. 31:47, Ezra 8:20)

These people were the first inhabitants after the reoccupation on the return from Babylon, under Zerubbabel, Joshua, Nehemiah, and Ezra, 454-400 BC. (1 Chronicles 9:2)

According to Neh 7:66, 73... "42,360 came back to Jerusalem and dwelt together." (Compare Ezra 2:64)

The names change to Chaldean names around Neh. 7:46 on . (Compare Ezra 2:43...) 612 returned from Bablyon: 392 with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:58 Neh. 7:60), and 220 with Ezra (Ezra 8:20 Neh 11:21)

The people in Ezra 2 Vs. 61-62 were deemed to be polluted from the priesthood because they had inter-married with Babylonians who were descendants of Kane and Nimrod*, not Seth or Shem. (See also Neh 7:64, 13:29)  _________________

*Genesis 10:8-10 “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth” creating the Babel kingdom.” (The Chaldee paraphrase of Chron. 1:10 says: “Cush begat Nimrod, who began to prevail in wickedness, for he shed innocent blood, and rebelled against Jehovah.”)

After the irruption of the 2nd fall of angels, (Gen. 6:4) more than 500 years after the 1st, progeny called Nephilim (“giants” were monsters of iniquity; and, being superhuman in size and character) survived the flood and occupied Canaan** in advance of Abraham (Gen. 12:6)  We ask “How, can it be, if they were all destroyed in the Flood?”  The answer is contained in Gen. 6:4 [A]nd also AFTER THAT…

**now considered Israel

Nimrod was the founder of Babylon, which partook of his character as being the great antagonist of G-d’s Truth and G-d’s People. We cannot fail to see, in Nimrod, Satan’s first attempt to raise up a human universal ruler of men.

Genesis 11:3-4 [A]nd they said, “Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth” (Pride, and arrogance is what did it!)

Vs. 6 And, the L-rd said, “Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

vs. 7 Go to, let Us go down and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

Vs. 8 So the L-rd scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

vs. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the L-rd did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the L-rd scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Where did the rest of the lost tribes of Israel go?  Many of the true Jews, you will find, traveled north through the Caucasus* Mountains, around the Black Sea, and disbursed into Russia and Europe.  (Eventually migrating into the U.S. (Mostly from Josephs' Manasseh)  [Hungary 438,000b Poland 300,000 France 69,000 The Netherlands 60,000 Greece 55,000 Bohemia and Moravia - Theresienstadt 46,000 Slovakia 27,000b Belgium 25,000 Germany and Austria 23,000 Yugoslavia 10,000 Italy 7,500 Latvia 1,000 Norway 690]

*That is why many of us are referred to as “Caucasian”

Ezra 9:1  "Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The People of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

Vs. 2  For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass."

The progeny of the Nephilim, or “Giants” were evidently great in size, as well as great in wickedness. They were superhuman, abnormal beings. As we read in Num. 13:33, “[T]here we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak…“ Anak was a noted descendant of the Nephilim; and Rapha was another, giving their names respectively to different clans.

The significant fact is stated:... “The Canaanite was then (i.e. already) in the land.”  In Gen. 14:5, they were already known as “Rephaim” and “Emim”, and had established themselves at Ashteroth Krnaim and Shaveh Kiriathaim. (Other names: Zamzummim, Avim, Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Girgashites, Jebusites, Horim, Avim …)

They were great, mighty, and tall (Deut. 2:10, 11, 21, 22, 23; 9:2) evidently inspiring the ten spies with great fear (Num. 13:33). Og king of Bashan is described in Deut. 3:11.

Their strength is seen in “the giant cities of Bashan” to-day; and we know not how far they may have been utilized by Egypt. If these Nephilim, and their branch of Rephaim, were associated with Egypt, we have an explanation of the problem which as for ages perplexed all engineers, as to how those huge stones and monuments were brought together.

These were to be cut off, and driven out, and utterly destroyed (Deut. 20:17, Josh. 3:10). But Israel failed in this (Josh 13:13, 15:63; 16:10; 17:18; Jud 1:19-20, 28, 29, 30-36, 2:1-5, 3:1-7); and we know not how many got away to other countries to escape the general destruction. If this were recognized it would go far to solve many problems connected with Anthropology.

If we did not feel sorry and provide mercy for these people, we might never have had the problems we do today for G-d never would have told us that He would do to us what they did to G-d. (See Judges 2:3 “’[W]herefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.’”)  I personally believe this is the thorn talked by Paul in 2Cor 12:7.

Let us go back to The Serpent. Hebrew word, “nachash", to hiss, mutter, whisper, …” The allied Chaldean word means brass, copper, from “an assume root” meaning to be bright. Various passages tell us that Satan possesses a glorious appearance, and the Hebrew term probably includes the sense of fascinate, enchant (see Deut. 18:10 et. al.) This element of fascination connects with the later use of nachash as “serpent”.

The Nachash, or serpent, who beguiled Eve (2Cor.11:3) is spoken of as “an angel of light” in v. 14, a clear indication that it was not a snake, but a being of glorious aspect, apparently an angel, to whom Eve paid such great deference, acknowledging him as one who seemed to possess superior knowledge, and who was evidently a being of a superior (not of an inferior) order?

The term saraph is derived from a Homonym meaning (1) to burn, (2) to be elevated. It is a term used of a fiery serpent and of an exalted celestrial being; being similarly used to designate a serpent and a glorious spirit-being.

Moreover, in the description of Satan as “the king of Tyre”, (Ezek. 28: 11-19, who is quite a different being from “the Prince of Tyre”, in vv. 1-10, who is purely human), it is distinctly implied that the latter being was of a supernatural order when he is called “a cherub” (Ezek. 28:14,16, read from 11-19)

His presence “in Eden, the garden of ‘Elohim” (v.13), is also clearly stated, as well as his being “perfect in beauty”. The following words could be addressed to him:-”Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee”. (vs. 17).

There is more about “the king of Tyre” in Ezek. 28:11-19 than was literally true of “the prince of Tyre” (vs. 1-10). The words can be understood only of the mightiest and most exalted supernatural being that G-d ever created; and this for the purpose of showing how great would be his fall.

The word rendered “subtle” in Gen. 3:1 means wise, in a good sense as well as in a bad sense. In Ezek. 28:12 we have the good sense, “Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom”; and the bad sense in v. 17 ”thou hast corrupted thy wisdom

Satan is thus spoken of as being “more wise than any other living creature which Jehovah Elohim had made”. Even if the word “beast” being retained as it has, we cannot conceive Eve as holding a conversation with a snake, but we can understand her being fascinated by one, apparently “an angel of light” (i.e. a glorious angel) possessing superior and supernatural knowledge.

I believe many people have been deceived and confused about the Jews because these facts have not been understood. If people cannot see that the “Jews” manipulated Jesus’ death and that it was the Gentiles who did not take control over the leadership but are the ones who literally hammered and drove the nails in His hands, how would they be able to understand anything else?

But, Jesus knew who the Pharisee’s were when He blasted them in John 8:44 by saying, Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Jesus knew who came back from captivity to sit on the Seat Of Moses. See Matthew 23:1-39  (Accordingly, as considered today, the United States Supreme Court).  He also reveals His knowledge of those who are the true Jews, who belong to and in Jerusalem, in the seven churches of The Book Of Revelation (See Rev 2:9, 3:9...)

Summary

I ask you to look into your soul and find the characteristics of who you are. Do you have more of the characteristics from the progeny of the Nephilim? Or, do you have more characteristics from the progeny of the twelve tribes of Israel?  Do you have a shallow understanding of right or wrong? Or a keen sense?  Or, do you just not care?

Good Poor and Greedy Rich

Luke 16:22-31

    And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried:

     And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

     And he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.'

     But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

      And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.'

      Then he said, 'I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

       For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'

       Abraham saith unto him, 'They have Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.'"
