The Jesus Controversy 1

A brief look at Israel

Today, as has been prophesied that "knowledge shall be in abundance," more and more people are questioning old Church teachings, especially the controversial genealogy line of Jesus, for instance, was he really a Jew?  So I'll divulge some of my view points on the subject. 

For starters, we need to understand that there are twelve houses forming  the nation of Israel.  The house of Dinah, was not recognized because she was female, otherwise there would have been thirteen houses.  These twelve houses were formed by four different mothers, where Rachel, representing the pure love, whereas Leah, representing trickery and deception, the bloodline that Judah came into existence from.  Whereas, the house of Joseph, came through Rachel and, through jealousy and resentment was forced into slavery by the other tribes, his step brothers.  But this worked in Joseph's favor as he became the most high prince of Egypt, second only to the Pharaoh himself.

Controversy over Joseph:

Some historians are debating Joseph's sudden change of fortune and believe there this more to the story than what is written.  They believe his real identity has been concealed during the manipulation of the ancient text.  The more controversial historians point the finger at Isaac, that Abraham was not the father, but that Sarah conceived during her marriage to the king of Egypt.  Then if this is so, we can accept a more realistic reason of why Joseph was in Egypt - simply claiming his royal inheritance passed on through his grandfather Isaac.  Controversial Egyptologists associate the mummy Yuya as being the real historical Joseph.  The Biblical story relates that Joseph married an Egyptian priestess and had two boys - the controversial opinion is that one of these boys married an Egyptian princess and later took the throne becoming the Amenhotep king line.  Joseph himself claims that God has been good to him and made him father to Pharaoh.  If these events are correct then we can have a better understanding of why Moses was a prince of Egypt, aka Akhenaton, the Amenhotep line, rather than the sad attempt of explaining his royalty by being set adrift as a baby on the Nile.  The Ethiopians teach that Moses was not a prince, but rather king of Egypt.

The Biblical writings proclaim that Israel no longer walked according to the precepts of God and was therefore to be divided. Judah and Benjamin split from Israel as a whole and became solely known as Judah, the southern kingdom, whereas the other 10 Houses remained as the Nation of Israel, the northern kingdom.  Until the eventual invasion of Israel, the northern kingdom,  by the Seafarers, and the people scattered, Israel and Judah were at a constant state of war.  A hundred years later the kingdom of Judah was also invaded but rather then being scattered were taken into captivity by the Babylonians.   History has always known the whereabouts of Judah and Benjamin, but the northern kingdom became known as the Lost Tribes of Israel.  Judah was held in captivity for seventy years and regained their freedom when the Persians conquered Babylon.  It is believed that it was during this captivity that the identity of "Jews" was conjured upon Judah and Benjamin.  With Israel now being historically lost for over a hundred and seventy years gave the intermingled Judah and Benjamin the freedom to adjust their historical record and identity.  The temple in Jerusalem was rebuild and they retained their identity as Judah, not Israel, and the area in which they lived became known as Judea and was still called by that name at the birth of Christ.  Hence we have Judeo-Christianity, a strongly Judah influenced religious faith.
