CONFUSION AS TO THE TRUE AND THE FALSE SEPHARAD – SEPHARDIM

By

  ” THE CAPTIVITY OF JERUSALEM, WHICH IS IN SEPHARAD” (Obadiah 20.)

A diligent prophetic student of the last century referred to  this verse as  “one of the  most mysterious texts in the Bible, “but we are privileged in this  day  of advanced research, to identify this particular captivity of Jerusalem with  the remnant of pure  descendants of Judah never  referred to as Jews,  BUT always known  as Sephardic stock. it was this remnant that  were the  first of Judah to settle in the  U.S. A, but were largely  ‘swamped’ by the subsequent flood  of counterfeit German and  East European Ashkenazi stock immigrants from  1830 to the present day.

In our  zeal  to advance the  cause of the  Judah captivity in the days of Jeremiah; the captivity of Nebuchadnezzar with the subsequent massacre and scattering of the royal house of David, we have lost sight of “the  captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad.” The particular captivity dates  to the relign of the Assyrian king Sennacherib. (705. B.C.) and precedes the main Babylonian captivity by more than a century. It is well documented in the Bible and  is important for many reasons. Firstly, when Jerusalem was  besieged by Sennacherib, some of the inhabitants were given  the  option of settling  in Sepharad in close proximity to some of the ten-tribed house  of Israel. The number of those  who settled is given on the Assyrian monuments and other records as 200,150 (Rawlinson, Sayee and The Times History of 1910) The neighbouring Israelites were  by then known as Kimmerians and records exist of collaboration between the  two  against common enemies. When  this Jerusalem captivity moved  at a later period they became known as Sephardim, after the place of their settlement, namely Sepharad, and we later  find the name in Asia Minor. In Young’s Concordance there   is useful  information on  this point:

“Sepharad, the ancient Iberia or Georgia  between Colchis and Albania, (later)

SPAIN.” This would  account for the name  lbsek being applied  to Spain, the Iberian Peninsula, and the true stock of Judah being  known as Spanish or Sephardic stock. The Oxford University Press (1936) edition of “Noble Families among the Sephardic Jews” gives the following “The continuance of the House of David, in Babylonia, and from thence in the Spanish Peninsula, has always been  maintained…’ From the Bible  we are aware that  the  House of Judah represented in  Babylon, and   the  remnant  that returned under the leadership of Nehemiah and Ezra, was  that  chosen of God to be  the forebears of the mother of Jesus, whilst Joseph her husband, being “as was supposed” the father, (read  Luke. 3.23.)  was also of the same stock.  On the other  hand,  we NOW KNOW that the true house  of Judah, represented in Spain by the  SEPHARDIM, was  there when the daughters of Zedekiah called  there  from  Egypt, en route to the Hill of Tara, to plant the royal house  in the most congenial of soil, namely Sephardic stock. Irish records abound with references to Spain, Egypt and Milesia, (part of Asia Minor) and most of these are to be  found in  “David to Elizabeth II” prepared especially for the films, slides, and video tapes on the film “Stone of Destiny.”

It  is  of  interest to  note that   several  Jewish Encyclopaedias refer to the ratio between TRUE nd FALSE Judah  (to them Sephardim and Ashkenazim) as 1 in 10, and yet another as 8% true and 92% false, so we await the awakening when Christians will discern between those whom God has covenanted, and those who falsely claim to be His covenant people.

With such a formidable opposition  throughout the Christian world, opposed in their ignorance as to the unconditional and everlasting covenants with TRUE ISRAEL AND TRUE JUDAH, we await THE COMING OF ELIJAH whose role  it is  in  conjunction with  the 144,000 sealed servants of God, to help the apathetic to unravel the pride and  prejudice that hampers the vision of THE GREAT PLAN AND PURPOSE GOD HAS FOR HIS RACIAL ISRAEL.

“For I am  with  thee, saith  the  Lord,  to  save thee, though 1 make a  full end  of all  nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a  full end  of  thee: BUT I will  correct thee  in measure, and   will  not   leave thee altogether unpunished.” (Jeremiah. 30. 11 🙂
