British Israelism Refuted
The following will prove that the Lost Tribes of Israel aren't British at all. It's based on myth,legend, and superstition. British Israelism is a belief that all of the Lost Tribes of Israelmigrated from Asia to Europe in order to become the Anglo-Saxons. The proponents of British Israelism view themselves as the “chosen race” of God, which is a lie.
They viewthemselves as the true Israelites. This story revolves around how some (not all) of thetribes of Israel were carried away as captives by the Assyrians in 722 B.C.
The BritishIsraelite proponents also believe that America and Britain are apart of the Lost Tribes of Israel as well (which consist predominantly of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh). Mostproponents of British Israelism ideas aren’t racists.
Yet, some of its proponents areracists. The Bible forbids racism as all humans are created equal
: “…For as manyof you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jewnor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye areall one in Christ Jesus…” (Galatians 3:27-28).
The racists include the Identity crowd whoare anti-Semitic and some of them are Neo-Nazis.
This crowd promotes Aryan racialsuperiority. The Christian Identity views are similar to Nazis in terms of ideology. Thedifference is that they disagree on who the master race is. British Israelism teaches the
lie that olive to dark skinned Semitic Hebrews transformed over night into lighterskinned Celts and Anglo-Saxons (including Nordic peoples), which is a lie. WillieMartin is a famous racist Christian Identity member.
Therefore, British Israelism issimilar to New Age thought since both (not all of them) believe that the Aryan people areGod’s chosen people. This doctrine is masked from the more liberal teachings of Brit-Am'slate author Yair Davidy (and Rabbi Avraham Feld) at one end of the Anglo-Israelistspectrum to the Keltic Knights of the KKK on the other end of the same British-Israel belief system. Even the Latter Day Saints of Mormonism, touted as the 'fastest growing globalreligion' is entirely based around the conceptof the 'Ten Lost Tribes of Israel' teachings. TheMormons believes that Israelites came into ancient America.The lie that Jewish people arerelated to Cain or from the Turkish Khazars have its origin from the Gnostic texts as well.
One Catholic scholar, writing on the ancient Gnostics, writes:
“The doctrine that Cain was the child of Satan and Eve is found in the ancient Gnostic text
The Revelation of Adam
, where Adam says to his son Seth: ‘Next, darkness came over our eyes. Next,the god that made us made a child (begotten) by himself (and) Eve your mother¼.’” (
The Gnostic Scriptures
, p.56)The Bible is perfectly clear that Eve conceived both Seth and Cain. This is found in
Genesis 4:1-2 which says that: “…And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived,and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And sheagain bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cainwas a tiller of the ground…”
One of the biggest proponents of the heresy of BritishIsraelism is “Pastor” Arnold Murray. He runs his Shepherd Chapel church that is located in Gravette,Arkansas. He is very popular in the world as his TV program is seen in over 325 stations all over thenation, even in Hawaii. He thunders his message in a strong fashion. He mixes truth with errors in hisdoctrines. His views are unscriptural. He even has bias against Jewish people, blacks, and non-Anglo-Saxon peoples. One of his big false teachings is that he believes that the Mark of the Beast istotally about mental brainwashing and it’s not about a physical tool.
In the newsletter thataccompanies it he states “…
They could tattoo ‘666’
from your head to your feet and itwould not change your feelings or mind about Christ.
This is important. I hope youunderstand…”
(Newsletter #264 Oct.2000). This is false since the Bible says that taking theMark of the Beast on your hand or foreheads equals not allowing you to enter the Kingdomof God plainly. Rev.13:16 says clearly that: “He causes (forced) all, both small and great,rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a
mark
ON their right hand or on their foreheads.
”
The word on is epi in Greek and it means upon. Don' t just read the English, bea bible student, the Greek word is charagma, and it means “a stamp” or “imprinted mark”and almost every Bible scholar worth his salt agrees with this interpretation.
The Mark isbigger than the mind, but a real action. Arnold Murray believes in the Serpent Seedlie.
He believes that Kenites (or descendants of Cain) still exist today. The Bible is clear thatthe descendants of Cain died via Noah’s flood: “and
EVERY LIVING SUBSTANCE THAT IHAVE MADE WILL I DESTROY FROM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH”
(Genesis 7:4).
“AndALL FLESH DIED that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and everycreeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. ALL in whose nostrils was thebreath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died” (Gen 7:21-22).
The true
Kenites of the Bibles are not from Cain. They are descendants from the Midianites who didmetalwork with extraordinary skill (as found in Genesis 15:19). Hobab, the son of Reuel,was a Kenite and acted as a guide to Israel in the wilderness (1:16; 4:11). Heber, was aKenite (Judges 4:11 and 5:24 “Most blessed among women is Jael, The wife of Heber theKenite.” Around the time of Israel's exodus from Egypt, the Kenites showed kindness toIsrael (1 Sam 15:6), and some of the Kenites entered the Promised Land along with theIsraelites in the conquest led by Joshua (Judg 1:16). Murray falsely assume that the Jewishpeople today are descendants of the Kenites. Murray is a Modalist or he denies the Trinity.
Arnold Murray denies the rapture when even Enoch was physicalraptured into Heaven as found in these verses:
“…And Enochwalked with God and was not for God TOOK HIM.”
(Genesis 5:24)“By faith Enoch was TRANSLATED that he should not see death and was not because Godhad taken (TRANSLATED) him for before (his death), he was taken he had this testimony,that he pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). ELIJAH was raptured: “And it came to pass, as theystill went on, and talked, that behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire andseparated them, and Elijah WENT UP by a whirlwind into Heaven” (2 Kings 2:1-11).
TheBible in 2 Thes. 4:16 says that believers will be caught up in the air to meet with theLord.
Arnold Murray is a notorious false prophet. Mr. Murray has also prophesied falsely bysetting a date for the appearance of the Antichrist by 1981. “
Lucifer was taken to the pit...Know from the 2nd chapter of 2 Thessalonians that he shall soon return. The Book of Daniel very clearly states that it shall happen before the year 1981, if you have anyunderstanding at all of the wisdom of the elect in the last days”
(Seed of the Serpent,version taped in 1979). Mr. Murray also teaches the doctrine of annihilationism. This viewteaches that all unbelievers will not be tormented eternally in hell, but will completelydisappear. The Book of Revelation is clear that all unbelievers will be punished in the Lakeof Fire forever (not destroyed). Like any cult, he claims that people that legitimatelydisagrees with his views as liars, gossips, idiots, etc. So, Arnold Murray and ShepherdChapel has false doctrines that they need to change. Arnold Murray needs to wake upindeed.
