Jews, Judeans, Ioudaios vs Israelites Ó2002

By Kohane Shalomim HaLahawi

 

historically speaking, just as in the case of the JESUS controversy, there were no such a people in the 1st century known by the name JEWS or JUDEANS just the same as there was no man that ever walked the earth in the 1st century whose name was jesus(see Jesus vs Yahoshua essay)

How is this so? simple. There were no "J" sounds until the 1600C.E advent of English...

Well you may say that the names are derived from the ancient Word Yahudah.

That assumption is a grave violation of standard language transliteration vs translation. the rule of thumb is that when translating a Noun i.e Persons name, the name of a city or a people or nation, you use transliteration, which means no matter what language it is spoken in, it will sound verbally the same, and each letter of the language being transliterated must match a letter of the new language that has the same or similar sound.......

Example: My name is shalomim in hebrew.... in english it is shalomim.... if i went to china, they would call me shalomim, in zulu, it would be shalomim, in coptic, it would be........Shalomim!!!! if my name is pronounced any other way,t hen that is not my name nor is it referring to me....

if you believe that jews some-how were once yahudim, then when and where did the name pronunciaiton change  occur? was that on wedneday of blank we were yahudim and then come friday, we decided to call ourselves jews or judeans or even iudaios...either because we chose to or some else just said, "hey they will now becalled jews instead of yahudim." is that the case? that is upsurd..... JEW, JUDEAN,Iudaios and yahudah are all different words referring to different types of people....

A jew is not a yahudim. these words have no linguistic connection no matter what you feel..... names and peoples are not translated they are transliterated.....  its the same problem in bible translations of using the word lord to replace the word yahwah and have people believing its the same or using god to replace elohim, when none of the words used to replace the hebrew word have the same meaning of the word being replaced or translated as they say....

 

So what is a yahudim? 1. a person of the tribe of yahudah 2. a citizen regardless of race, tribe or nationality who lives within the southern nation of yahudah border(i.e one of the tribe of levi who lived in yahudah would be concidered a levitical yahudim, or if a person from say idumea(edomite) lived in yahudah, they would be deemed idumean yahudim, much the same as African American, Chinse American, Indian American ect..... note: if 0ne from the tribe of yahudah lived in the northern kingdom of israel, they would be deemed a yahudaite israelite.selah put the peaces together)

 

who are the ioudaios of the 1st century

tacitus account of the origin of the iudaios nation-dissertation 3(complete works of josephus appendix)

The tradition is that the Ioudaios ran away from the Island of Crete, and settled themselves on the coast of Libya(Northern Africa)..... The mountain IDA is famous in crete; and the neighboring inhabitants are named IDAEI, which, with a barbarous argument, becomes the name of Ioudaei(JUDEA)

 Some say they were a people that were very numerous in Egypt, under the reign of ISIS; and that the Egyptians got free from that burden, by sending them into adjacent countries(i.e Ethiopia, Libya), under their captains Hierosolymus and Judas.

The GREATEST part say they were those ETHIOPIANS(Kushites) whom fear and hatred obliged to change their habitations, in the reign fo King Cepheus.

There are those who report that they were Assyrians, who, wanting lands, got together, and obtained part of Egypt, and soon afterward settled themselves in cities of their own, in the land of the HEBREWS, and parts of Syria that lay nearest  to them.

Others pretend their origin to be more eminent, and that the Solymi, a people celebrated in Homers poems, were the founders of this nation, and gave this their own name Hierosolyma to the city which they built there……….

They sacrifice rams by way of reproach to Jupiter Hammon(i.e GOD). An Ox is also sacrificed, which the Egyptians worship under the name APIS………

It is generally supposed that they rest on the seventh day(Saturn-day); because that day gave them the first rest from their labours. Besides which, they are idle on every seventh year, as being pleased with a lazy life.

Others say that they do honour thereby  to SATURN; or perhaps the Idaei gave them this part of their religion, who, as we said above, were expelled, together with Saturn, and who, as we have been informed, were the FOUNDERS OF THIS NATION(note: the honour of Saturn was brought about because these peoples Sabbath was according to the Babylonia Lunar Calendar which honored all the Babylonian deities and they used the greek calendar to adjust their days instead of using  the Hebrew 364 day solar calendar, unique and alien calendar system in the eyes of the gentiles, thereby causing the Sabbath to be worshipped according to the Babylonians and Cretans who worshipped Saturn)….

W.H Roschers Lexicon of Mythology-Juda(English) derives from the greek diety Iudaios(Judaios) which is non other than a greek pagan diety…… perhaps this explains why the Iudaios(Judeans of Non-Hebrew descent and those Hebrews who punked out of serving YHWH) were always offended at hearing the Holy name of Yahwah pronounced and killed such people who pronounced it They never believed in worshipping YHWH in the 1st place because they worshipped Iudaios(pay attention to the spelling of the greek names) and HaShem and Adonis (another heathen diety.)

The Pharisee are mostly responsible for this…… Remember they are mostly Idumean converts who dominated this Anti-levical Priestly and  Anti-prophetic Judean Religious Faction according to Josephus.

Also remember that Judeans, as in the Region, can refer to Cretans, Israelites, Cana’anites and idumeans and those gentiles who converted to the Pharisee Religions or lived in the area known as Palastine.. Therefore in that understanding those Judeans who were Israelite and didnt fall away into hellenesim, i.e Enochic-Essenes Israelites, are not necessarily portrayed in the negative yet factual connotations mentioned or are of the origins of the rest of Judeans to further state, Israelites were called specifically Yisraelite by transliterated pronounciation which is clearly different from those  Ioudaios-Judeans….. Even the Dead Sea scrolls makes that clear.

 Ant. book 13 chapter 9:1b,

1. BUT when Hyrcanus heard of the death of Antiochus, he presently made an expedition against the cities of Syria, hoping to find them destitute of fighting men, and of such as were able to defend them. However, it was not till the sixth month that he took Medaba, and that not without the greatest distress of his army. After this he took Samega, and the neighboring places; and besides these, Shechem and Gerizzim, and the nation of the Cutheans, who dwelt at the temple which resembled that temple which was at Jerusalem, and which Alexander permitted Sanballat, the general of his army, to build for the sake of Manasseh, who was son-in-law to Jaddua the high priest, as we have formerly related; which temple was now deserted two hundred years after it was built. Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumea, and subdued all the Idumeans; and permitted them to stay in that country, if they would circumcise their genitals, and make use of the laws of the Judeans; and they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision, (25) and of the rest of the Judean ways of living; at which time therefore this befell them, that they were hereafter no other than Judeans.

 

Ant. Book 14 Chapter 15:2

But Antigonus, by way of reply to what Herod had caused to be proclaimed, and this before the Romans, and before Silo also, said that they would not do justly, if they gave the kingdom to Herod, who was no more than a private man, and an Idumean, i.e. a half Judean, (28) whereas they ought to bestow it on one of the royal family, as their custom was

 

Ant. Book 17 chapter 10:2

2. But on the approach of pentecost, which is a festival of ours, so called from the days of our forefathers, a great many ten thousands of men got together; nor did they come only to celebrate the festival, but out of their indignation at the madness of Sabinus, and at the injuries he offered them. A great number there was of Galileans, and Idumeans, and many men from Jericho, and others who had passed over the river Jordan, and inhabited those parts.

 

 

Ant. Book 13 chapter 15:4

Now at this time the Judeans were in possession of the following cities that had belonged to the Syrians, and Idumeans, and Phoenicians

Ant. Book 13 chapter 10: 5; 6b

However, this prosperous state of affairs moved the Jews to envy Hyrcanus; but they that were the worst disposed to him were the Pharisees, (28) who were one of the sects of the Judeans, as we have informed you already. These have so great a power over the multitude, that when they say any thing against the king, or against the high priest, they are presently believed. Now Hyrcanus was a disciple of theirs, and greatly beloved by them

What I would now explain is this, that the Pharisees have delivered to the people a great many observances by succession from their fathers, which are not written in the laws of Moses; and for that reason it is that the Sadducees reject them, and say that we are to esteem those observances to be obligatory which are in the written word, but are not to observe what are derived from the tradition of our forefathers. And concerning these things it is that great disputes and differences have arisen among them, while the Sadducees are able to persuade none but the rich, and have not the populace obsequious to them, but the Pharisees have the multitude on their side. But about these two sects, and that of the Essens, I have treated accurately in the second book of Jewish affairs.

 

War of the Jews book 1 chapter 5:3

3. Accordingly, they themselves slew Diogenes, a person of figure, and one that had been a friend to Alexander; and accused him as having assisted the king with his advice, for crucifying the eight hundred men [before mentioned.] They also prevailed with Alexandra to put to death the rest of those who had irritated him against them. Now she was so superstitious as to comply with their desires, and accordingly they slew whom they pleased themselves.(Note this was during the time when the Teacher of Righteousness was banished to the Land of Damascus and later executed by the Pharisee)

 

As can be studied, Judeans, that is those who lived in the region commonly called Judea(Palestine), were from many different origins and nationalities….i.e Cretans, Edomites, Israelites, Arabians, Cana’anites,  gentile converts from other nations. However, it is plain and clear that Idumeans and such were JUDEANS NOT YAHUDIM or ISRAELITES, a separate people of JUDEA. Not all Israelites lived according to the ways of the Israelites, but many were hellenistic/greek(i.e apostle paul) and many joined the Pharisees and many….well who knows?……..

The Dead Sea Scrolls testify that not all Israelites were of the WAY of YHWH….

However It is clear that these Ioudaios, Judeans, Israelites were of AFRICAN & Mesopotamian DESCENT and lived among others of such origins… Remember the Chaldeans are Chamitic and Josephus testifys that is one of the origins of the Israelites( a shemitic people)..

Furthermore, the Book of Jubilees assigns Ethiopia and parts of Africa as part of the Inheritance of Ancient Shemites(notice it refers to all Shemites, not just Israelites)!!!

Jubilees 8:12, And there came forth on the writing as Shem's lot the middle of the earth which he should take as an inheritance for himself and for his sons for the generations of eternity, from the middle of the mountain range of Rafa, from the mouth of the water from the river Tina, and his portion goes towards the west through the midst of this river, and it extends till it reaches the water of the abysses, out of which this river goes forth and pours its waters into the sea Me'at, and this river flows into the great sea. And all that is towards the north is Japheth's, and all that is towards the 13 south belongs to Shem. And it extends till it reaches Karaso: this is in the bosom of the tongue 14 which looks towards the south. And his portion extends along the great sea, and it extends in a straight line till it reaches the west of the tongue which looks towards the south: for this sea is 15 named the tongue of the Egyptian Sea. And it turns from here towards the south towards the mouth of the great sea on the shore of (its) waters, and it extends to the west to 'Afra, and it extends till it reaches the waters of the river Gihon, and to the south of the waters of Gihon, to the 16 banks of this river. And it extends towards the east, till it reaches the Garden of Eden, to the south thereof, [to the south] and from the east of the whole land of Eden and of the whole east, it turns to the east and proceeds till it reaches the east of the mountain named Rafa, and it descends 17 to the bank of the mouth of the river Tina. This portion came forth by lot for Shem and his sons.”  (If you’ve read my book, then you would see exactly where the EDEN, and the Garden of Eden is located today)

If European Jews were Israelite(shemites), wouldn’t they look like those who inhabited these lands? Beta Yisrael does(so-called Ethiopian Jews) and they have been connected to Israel since before the time of King David and Shelomin(see jubilees above), many Ethiopians were Shemites!!! Abudayah does, the Yemenite Hebrew does, the Black Hebrews of India does, the Arabian and other African Hebrew Israelite does.. The European Jews don’t, because they are not Shemites!!! They tell you that in your face… ASHKENAZI JEWS!!!!

So who are the Modern people who follow this Religion Judaism(see Pagan diety Iudias-Juda) that comes from the Northern Nations known as Europe and calls themselves JEWS, A non Shemitic and English European name?????

Ashkenazi Jews- Ashkenaz is a descendant of Yaphet, a son of Noach who is said to be the forefather of the gentiles( Gen 10:3)

(Or could the word Nazi at the end have something to do with the german Nazi’s? hmmmm, see my site on Zionism and its origins for that answer)

650-1016 c.e The King of Khazaria, an Ashkenazi  is said to have introduced the religion of Judaism to his people after hearing the disputes of an Muslim, Christian and Judean(perhaps Idumean), and determining that the Judean was more truthful and original because the other two seem to base their religions off the Judeans(remember Christianity is Pharisee Religion while Islam is a Essene/Ebionite Religion). As a result the Khazarian empire practiced this New Religion They called called Judaism, an obviously Pharisee Religion.

 After their conversion, the Khazar people used Hebrew personal names, spoke and wrote in Hebrew, were circumcised, had synagogues and rabbis, studied the Torah and the Pharisee Talmud, and observed Hanukkah, Pesach, and the Sabbath. The Khazars were an advanced civilization with one of the most tolerant societies of the medieval period. It hosted merchants from all over Asia and Europe.

The Khazar people belonged to a grouping of Turks(also where many modern light-skinned middle-easterners who erroneously call themselves Arabs originated during the 400 year reign of the Turkish Ottoman Empire over the middle east and parts of Europe and Africa) who wrote in a runic script that originated in Mongolia. The royalty of the Khazar kingdom was descended from the Ashina Turkic dynasty. In the ninth century, the Khazarian royalty and nobility as well as a significant portion of the Khazarian Turkic population embraced the Judaism religion(while other turks embraced the Islamic Religion and stole the Arabic race). After their conversion, the Khazars were ruled by a succession of Jewish kings and began to adopt the hallmarks of Jewish civilization, including the Torah and Talmud, the Hebrew script, and the observance of Jewish holidays. A portion of the empire's population adopted Christianity and Islam.

When the Khazarian Empire came under threat from foreign hostile power, Much of them migrated deeper into Europe carrying the Religion of Judaism with them into Hungary, Ukraine, and other areas of Europe establishing what are now called Jewish communities throughout. 

The Jews from the former Russian Empire are descended from a mixture of Khazar Jews, German Jews, Greek Jews, and Slavs(see http://www.khazaria.com/brook.html )

Therefore it is plain and clear that modern EUROPEAN JEWS, while they practice a 1st century religion of the Pharisees which was established as Rabbinical Judaism after 70 c.e,  have no connection whatsoever to Israelites, Idumeans(EDOMITES), Saphardi Judeans(indigeneous Judeans from Arabia, Idumea and Israelite origins) or any Shemitic origins.. In Essence, by Nationality they are GENTILES, By the Standard of the ESSENES, the original Israelites,  their Religion is not the pure Truth of Ancient Israelites and by their own conduct they are a VERY BARBEROUS PEOPLE…… But then again Many of them are descendants of the Barbars.

Judaism is a Religious system, not a Nationality or a race.. The Modern Concentration Camp called Israel, forged its way into a Nation through colonialism and genocide. So Jews who are citizens of Israel (Israelis) are national citizens, just like Arabs who live in Israel are National Israelis… Yet, unlike Arabians, Jews are not an Ethnicity or a race.  They are a religion Just like Islam. To find the specific race of Jews you would have to research his background.. Ashkenazi Jews are from races and ethnic groups that originated in Europe like Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Austria etc... Others Jews come from Ethnic groups out of Africa, China, Middle East, Israelite and shemitc races etc… all of them are converts to the Religion, but they maintain their racial and ethnic status.

So one should ask themselves if they are Jewish and practice Judaism, Am I Jewish because I am Judean or Israelite by origin or am I Jewish by being a descendant of a convert to a Religion. And if being Jewish today had to do with Nationality, then why is it that anyone of any nation can convert to Judaism and become a Jew and Jewish.

NOTE:

This does not reflect in anyway that all Jews are Barbarians/cruel people or not of the Truth nor does it convey racial or cultural supremacy or gives the implication of hatred and intolerance but Is for the purposes of exposing Lies to hide the Truth and reveal the reason for name changes in History amongst a people to show a hidden agenda or replacement and destruction of original Truth.In essence it is another approach to rid the world of European Lies that breaks the Spirit of Holiness from being grasped by those who seek and desire to know the WAY of YHWH!!!!

And YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH
