There are four Israels:
1) Jacob, who was renamed to Israel by Jesus Christ. Genesis 32:24-30 (No man has seen the Father, ergo Jacob wrestled Jesus Christ, pre-Incarnation)
2)The Sons of Israel, that are the biological offspring of the man named Israel and formed the ancient nation of Israel.
3) The Israel of God: All those of us in Jesus Christ. Galatians 6:16
4) There is a modern geo-political entity that fraudulent calls itself “Israel.” Just because they call it self Israel does not mean it is the Israel of God, nor the Sons of Jacob. See Rev 3:9 and Rev 2:9.
“Jew” is the name that the apostate sons of Israel adopted for themself about 2600 years ago, at the very end of the Southern Kingdom, as they were about to go into exile. God never called His people “Jews.”
“Jew” is a term adopted not only the apostate sons of Israel, but all who joined themselves to the Jews (Esther 8:17): “ And many people of other nationalities became Jews because fear of the Jews had seized them.” Jew is the name that Jews have for themselves and their core identity is the rejection of Jesus Christ. See the story of Saul/Paul.
Jews have long proselytized people who are not descendants of Jacob/Israel: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.” Matthew 23:15.. And also see the previously mentioned Esther 8:17
Jews set up festivals that God never ordained — Purim, which honors chance and destiny.
Isaiah describes the Jews:
“11 But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. [This describes Purim, which honors the rolling of the dice]
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
[This describes Luke 19:27]: “ But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.” This is confirmed by John 19:15]
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: [This describes Revelation 3:9]
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name [Jew is left as a curse and His people are called Christians per Acts 11:26]
Isaiah 65:11-15
“Jew” is a term used 300 times in the New American Standard Bible.
It is overwhelmingly negative as I’m explored in my book and in these writings.
“Jew” is not “Israel.”
Even the Jews know that the Bible is anti-Jew and “antisemitic.” See their own writings:
Is the New Testament Antisemitic?
