Luke 17
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Genesis 19
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
...
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Most "christians" are looking to republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to "make America great again" and are looking towards future prosperity, higher safety, and the good things this country once offered. Most who do so also believe we are in the end times and that we are very close to Yeshua's imminent return. These two are opposite of each other. If they really believe we are in the end times and Yahweh is putting the players in place, then why do they think America will be great again or trump can save the United States? Do they fail to realize hitler ran on the platform of "making Germany great again" and that the "church" was behind his rise to power? Many of the "church leaders" that support trump and gave him their endorsement before the republican national convention where he was officially given the nomination are dominionists who believe that 'Christians will take over the world and make it good enough for Jesus to return' - they are shills for the antichrist.
The last several years have seen an increasing number of "christians" who have fallen into apostasy and have rejected doctrines they once believed. One of the first doctrines these apostates reject is the pre tribulation rapture. Most of these apostates still call themselves "christians" but have bought into the demonic replacement theology. Because they believe they are the "real Jews", they believe they will be in Daniel's 70th week since it is the last week given for the Jewish people. Daniel's 70th week is where Yahweh will deal with the Jewish people and bring them to a saving knowledge of Messiah Yeshua. The apostle Paul says this time of restoration for the REAL Jewish people (not the replacement theology false "Jews") will be after the time of the gentiles:
Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Romans 11
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Watching Chad Thomas' video I posted earlier today, one thing he read from scripture struck me: The evil servant.
Matthew 24
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Isn't this what those who used to believe in the pre tribulation rapture are doing to those who still believe in a pretribulation rapture? When I was still on facebook a few months ago, I was called evil, a heretic, deceived, unsaved, etc. by those who bought into replacement theology (and no longer believed in the rapture) just because I believe in the pre tribulation rapture. Those who no longer believe in Yeshua's imminent return verbally belittle and verbally smite those that believe in the rapture. This has grown exponentially along with replacement theology and other false doctrines that have crept in under the name of "tolerance" and "inclusion".
There are those who want to include everyone in their "fellowships" that they welcome the wolves and cast out those who try and warn against the heretical teachings brought in by the wolves. One "fellowship" I was in welcomed a disciple of the heretic Michael Rood and his replacement theology, post tribulation rapture, and other false doctrines and one of the "leaders" of that fellowship has now bought into all of those same false doctrines.
If you do not protect the flock, the flock is devoured by the wolves. We are suppose to protect the "fellowships" from false and protect the sheep. Judge those who claim to be brothers and leave the judging of unbelievers to Yahweh - exactly the OPPOSITE of what most "christians" believe and teach.
1 Corinthians 5
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Time is very short. Now is the time to repent of your sins and follow Messiah Yeshua. If you are holding anything against someone, you need to reconcile with that person because if you do not forgive them, Yahweh will not forgive you. Yeshua is going to return for His bride VERY soon so time is of the essence!.
Matthew 5
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Mark 11
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Many churches and fellowships are destroyed by wolves who are accepted as believers who introduce false doctrines that tears apart the fellowships. Sometimes it is easier to spot a wolf that comes into the fellowship and starts teaching the obvious heretical doctrines than it is to spot the wolf who has been a part of the fellowship for some time or a newcomer that gradually introduces their heresy.
When Messiah Yeshua was gathering His disciples, He knew Judas was a wolf and would betray Him although the other disciples had no idea until after the fact. Judas was so trusted that he kept the money bag - yet he was staling from it. During the last supper when Messiah Yeshua said one of them would betray Him, NONE of the disciples (except Judas, of course) knew who it was and were so distressed they asked Yeshua if they were the one who would betray Him.
John 12
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
John 13
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
How much of a warning to the church this should be! Even the disciples did not know there was a thief and betrayer among them! This is why both Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul warn of the wolves that will sneak in to destroy. This is why the apostle Paul warned to expel the evildoers (as he often did) in order to keep the fellowship free of damnable heresies. This is why the warnings that evildoers would sneak in to deceive - even from AMONG the fellowship.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves
Acts 20
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
1 Corinthians 5
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy 4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Yes, I know about the wheat and tares - that is the world, not what should be the safety of a fellowship where you should be able to trust those you fellowship with to pray for you and to share your burdens - not throw you under the bus and betray you because they believes the lies false doctrines the wolves brought in to destroy the fellowship.
I've already posted about ihop, hillsong, and bethel-redding which, combined, makes up the majority of the Great Apostasy. Those who follow Torah also need to be careful of the "Messianic" wolves that sneak in to destroy. Many are gentiles who were part of apostate non-mainstream "christianity" and they self-delude themselves into thinking they are Jewish in one of the various forms of the satanic replacement theology doctrine (usually British Israelism) Many of them claim to be part of the Levite tribe of priests / "an authority" to further deceive. They always adhere to the false sacred name doctrine, always end up denying the pre tribulation rapture they once believed (or claimed to believe) and although not as vocal, they also claim the apostle Paul was a false apostle. Many of them buy into the "lunar Sabbath" doctrine where the Sabbath depends on moon phase instead of number of the day of the week(that is a bizarre belief that is so totally false anyone should be able to see it) The main figures of the Messianic movement wolves that have brought this heresy into the Messianic movement is Michael Rood and Monte Judah. They have influenced numerous numbers of people who have no discernment and have bought into whatever they teach hook, line, and sinker without even checking out their obviously false teachings.
Some of the people who follow these wolves or their teachings suffer from 'Jerusalem
Syndrome' as does both Michael Rood and Monte Judah (many are now getting this demon even without going to Israel)
Jerusalem syndrome : http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/jersynd.html
One needs to remember that these gentiles who are claiming to be the "real Jews" are part of the synagogue of satan. Of course,
they claim THEY are the "real Jews" and the Jewish people in Israel are the "pretend Jews" that these verses are about totally twisting it to "prove" their self delusion:
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
The delusion is so strong in these last of the last days you have people believing cern changed all the bibles in the world (IE:"mandela effect") - not all of it, just certain words they "knew" used to be there. This strong delusion is to destroy people's faith inthe bible and is part of the satanic deception of the last days. This delusion is because people do not know their bibles and are relying on teachers to tell them what the bible says. Now more than ever before, we need to be reading and studying scripture for ourselves so we cannot be fooled when deceivers and wolves teach their false doctrines. We need to be on watch for those who bring outright heretical teachings into our fellowships and even more alert to those who gradually introduce their lies and deceptions. I have seen a number of people shipwreck their faith over the years and others who went along with it without realizing they had been deceived and who would not listen when someone tried to tell them. As often said - it is easier to fool people than to convince them they had been fooled.
Now is the time to repent and turn away from all the foolishness that is out there. Read the bible FOR YOURSELF and ask Yahweh to show you His truth. Turn away from those that are leading you to hell. Turn back and follow Messiah Yeshua and His instructions for living that is found in the bible. Do not listen to those who try t deceive and seduce you into hell right along with them.
What saddens me greatly is how apostate most of the Messianic movement has become. When the internet first became popular, I discovered the beliefs I came to about Yahweh and Messiah Yeshua were followed by many others and I discovered that those beliefs were called "Messianic Judaism". This was the faith of the early church.
Back in the 1990's, few followed Torah and most of "christianity" came against it. Those that followed Torah, for the most part, did so in Spirit and in Truth. Of course there were the lunatics such as Monte Judah and Michael Rood but they were on the fringe and marked out as heretics.
As the internet gained in popularity, the wolves started infiltrating the Messianic Movement and deceived many into following their false teachings. Today the Messianic Movement is mostly as false as mainstream "christianity" and most is not even close to what it was in the early church or even in the 1990s when the internet brought it to light of the wolves who then infiltrated it to devour the true followers of Messiah Yeshua.
The early church, as well as the remnant that existed in the 1990s before the end times infiltration, loved Israel and knew there was a difference between the nation of Israel and the faithful remnant who followed Yahweh through Messiah Yeshua. Today most of what calls itself "Messianic" and most of the gentiles who follow Torah have bought into the replacement theology lies brought into the movement by heretics such as 119 ministries and Jim Staley (etc.) They have also popularized heretics such as Monte Judah and Michael Rood and their brand of replacement theology as well as a form of "Jerusalem Syndrome" / replacement theology in which gentiles believe they are the "true Israel".
The apostle Paul is very clear that the gentile believers are grafted in among the native branches but they are still wild olives and that national Israel / the Jewish people will be grafted in again.
Romans 11
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Maybe this teaching by Paul is why there has been an increasing move among some who claim to follow Torah of throwing the apostle Paul out as a "false apostle" ? Doing so, they are stating the bible cannot be trusted and that Yahweh cannot preserve His word . They are claiming the bible's credibility is in question and if the bible is not credible, then how can anyone believe Yahweh is the One True God? This will lead many to "chrislam" and to follow antichrist during the tribulation.
This movement by the pretend Jews is replacement theology in which they are taking the promises of national Israel and applying those promises to themselves. There also has been an increasing claim by many of them that those in Israel are "not the real Jews" and "the real Jews is the church" This is rhetoric that is increasing even by Torah rejecting heretics such as Hank Hanegraaff who claims "true Israel is the gentile church". This false belief is steadily increasing as is "Jerusalem Syndrome" among gentiles who transform themselves into believing they are "the real Jews". Anti-antisemitism is behind these false claims. These people hate the real Jewish people and have transformed themselves into being "Jews" to steal the promises of national Israel for themselves.
Messiah Yeshua will judge those who falsely claim they are the Jewish people including those who buy into the different forms of replacement theology. This is a serious satanic deception that has infiltrated the remnant.
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
This is a major deception and we are to be on guard and to warn the true followers of such deceptions. If you are involved in any part of this, you need to repent and get away from it - it is pure evil. I had friends on facebook that bought into some of the most vile forms of replacement theology (IE: serpent seed doctrine) that is popularized by the neo nazi "pastors" such as Steven L. Anderson and his infamous promoter Texe Marrs who is a white supremacist that teaches and promotes the satanic "serpent seed" false doctrine. People are being deceived and deluded into following these lies from satan because they would rather listen to ear tickling false teachers than read their bible and ask Yahweh to teach them. They LOVE the lies and are so filled with lust and hate what is is good that they choose to follow deceptive liars that will tell them what they want to hear instead of Yahweh's truth.
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

2Timothy 4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
The evildoers will fall into greater apostasy as Yahweh gives their blackened hearts over to a reprobate mind and they tell you lies, deceptions, and whatever you want to hear instead of the truth in order to seduce you to hell right along with them:
2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
As we get closer to Yeshua's return, these deceivers will become worse and even more deceptive. Yahweh is already giving many of them over to a strong delusion. Make sure you are following Yahweh and not what one of these evil seducers are telling you. They want your soul and they want you in hell.
2 Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Repent and seek Yahweh. Ask Him to reveal His truth to you as you read the bible for yourself. Yeshua's return is very close and once the rapture happens, things will escalate and become so much darker than it is now that it is doubtful that those who knew the truth before the rapture and were left behind will be able to escape the strong delusion.
There are different forms of replacement theology incuding serpent seed which the most vile that is upheld by the nazis and "Christian Identity" (the neo-nazis and white supremacists) which I have mentioned it in the post about Steven L. Anderson.
This post will be discussing the British Israelism aspect of replacement theology since it is the most wide spread.First, I did NOT invent the term "British Israelism". It is a common term to describe a part of replacement theology. I bring this up because I was "unfriended" on youtube by someone who lived in the UK and was "offended" by the term "British Israelism".
Because I will be bringing up the Hebrew name / sacred name movement, I must mention the reason I used the name תכלת תכלת on facebook is because satan's minions complained that Blue Aero was "not a real name" so I changed it to תכלת תכלת which is 'azure zure' (azure is sky blue) in Hebrew. I did not change my name because I believed myself to be Jewish. As far as I know I'm English and Scottish and do not know how my ancestors trace to Noah so I consider myself a gentile follower of Messiah Yeshua - a wild olive branch grafted into the body of Yeshua AMONG the native olive branches not replacing them. Notice that Paul says that the native olive branches (the unbelieving Jews) were cut off UNTIL the fullness of the gentiles comes in (are grafted into the tree) meaning gentiles that follow Yeshua are part of Yeshua's body AND the native olive branches that follow Yeshua are part of Yeshua's body AND the rest of the native olive branches that were cut off will be grafted in again AFTER all the gentiles that will follow Yeshua are grafted into His body:
Romans 11
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Even among British Israelism, there are different flavors and varied beliefs. One of the most dominant form claims that the only ones who can accept Yeshua as Messiah (Messiah means LORD as well as Savior) are "the Jews" so, therefore, they are the "ten lost tribes" that were dispersed throughout Europe including the British Isles (hence "British Israelism") This, sadly, has become the widespread belief of those who come to follow Torah especially because of the false teachers they choose to follow.
Being a student of history, especially bible history, there was never a time where the Jewish people were lost as a people. From the bar kokhba revolt ~135AD where the believers (Jew AND gentile) left the synagogues instead of accepting bar kokhba as the Messiah, to ~320AD when constantine combined paganism with Christian terms (which nominal gentile believers assimilated to the false religion) the Jewish people were still identified as Jewish.
The inquisitions by the catholic church were meant to stamp out heresy. They considered the Torah's dietary laws as well as keeping the Sabbath instead of the pagan sun-day as heretical. The test of whether someone was a heretic was is they did not cook This happened in 494AD- 1391AD in various pogroms that demanded the Jews "convert or die" and in the Spanish inquisition of 1478AD-1614AD. The test they used was whether they worked or cooked on the Sabbath and what types of foods they bought. http://forward.com/articles/9216/in-spain-inquisitors-tracked-conversos-by-their-fo/ There were other pogroms and inquisitions throughout history including through the 1800-1900sAD although the purpose here is to show that there were still Jews and they were identifiable as Jews - they were not "lost".
In the 1900's the Jewish people were still identifiable as Jews and were living in their own communities throughout Europe. hitler knew who they were and so did the rest of the world: they still kept the Sabbath, still met in synagogues, and still kept the dietary laws (of the rabbis which are much more strict than Torah)
There has not been a time that the Jewish people have not been identifiable in the diaspora. Yes, some gentiles have Jewish blood although they are not identifiable as Jews as are some of the communities found in the diaspora. What is rampant is how many gentiles who have no claim of Jewish blood taking on the names and personalities of a Jewish person. Some do this out of delusion including 'Jerusalem Syndrome' (a real mental illness diagnosis - look it up) and some do this to deceive for popularity or for money (usually both) . One gentile who has taken on the personality of a Levite and dressing in the robes of the High Priest is Michael Rood. Michael Rood suffers from Jerusalem syndrome and is delusional as well as a scam artist. Michael Rood started off in a cult called "The Way International" (not to be confused with 'the way' which was what the early believers were said to believe) and was in trouble for various monetary scams. On a trip to Israel, he decided he was a Levite and started dressing like the High Priest. He has many followers who have bought into his deception, have sent him millions of dollars, and who have also changed their names and claim to be Jewish.
Another ministry that teaches British Israelism (that they are the Jews) is '119 Ministries'. While they are more subtle, they are just as evil and Yeshua is just as angry with them and their followers as He is with Michael Rood.
Yeshua says those who teach or follow the satanic replacement theology (all flavors) are liars and are of satan:
Revelation 2
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
SOME of those who believe in British Israelism claim the people in Israel are "not the real Jews" but are the pretenders. They claim THEY are the real Jews and one day they will be the ones who are in Israel. These people deny they believe in replacement theology and make all sorts of claims about what 'the nation born in a day' means in Isaiah although they say it was "definitely not the rebirth of what is now called Israel". I guess they believe nations become born in a day on a regular basis or something. These people are deluded.
Isaiah 66
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
Before I left facebook (which has been a blessing that I left) I could not help but see how many of those who follow Torah have bought into, at least in part, the satanic replacement theology doctrine. Some even change their names and pretend they are now part of the "ten lost tribes". The Jewish people were NEVER lost - they have always been identifiable and the only ones who do not know who they are are those who have come under the replacement theology delusion. What was lost (to some, not all) to those who are the Jewish people is their tribal identity. Some know which tribe they belong to due to their last names although Yahweh knows which tribe each of them belongs to and that is all that matters.
Scripture is clear both Jews and gentiles who accept Yeshua as Messiah are saved. Both are grafted into the same Root: Messiah Yeshua and both are partakers of the kingdom so why are so many gentiles falling for the delusion that they are Jews and taking on Jewish names and personalities and even claiming which tribe they belong to??? Even though we gentiles are grafted into the olive tree and become part of Israel, we are still gentiles / wild olives and we are not grafted into any one tribe. Stay away from false teachers that make such claims - they are spiritual poison and Yeshua calls them part of the synagogue of satan. This appears to be part of the strong delusion that is already enveloping the earth.
2 Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
