My children, I approach this with caution, in presenting a piece of evidence in the history of America, as it involves something which I stated is in the Bible, but it is part of a Bible not included in the Bible, in the Apocrypha called Second Esdras.
I realize fully that it is left out of Scripture for reason, but like Josephus in this histories, there is gleaned knowledge, like Jude in speaking of satan contending with Michael over the body of Moses, in other knowledge or books not included in the Bible which was common understanding to the Inspired of God, like Jude.
There is a King James version of Second Esdras, so it was indeed translated, but not included in the KJV we are all familiar with and I utilize as my Bible study translation.
The reason for mentioning this, is something which has been vital and covered in other postings online and I include it here on information on Americans in your roots as a people in the Bible, as it is vital information in historical context, because after God divorced the northern Kingdom of the House of Israel, Samaria, and the Assyrians after butchering the 10 Tribes which comprise the British, Americans and western European peoples, they were exiled to an area around the Gozan River as the Bible does record which is around modern Iran, or Aryan as they claim, but as I have stated Aryan is SamARYAN, as in the Israelite exiles who were imprisoned in these lands.
II Esdras chapter 13 gives insight into this and it is vital, as some miraculous things took place in these Americans and other 9 tribes of the now west, decided to repent and turn to God. God responded, and performed signs....one of which was God produced a miracle of parting the waters of the Euphrates River at a mountain pass, which bears the name of the Pass of Israel to this day in the Caucasus region.
I will post the verses as follows highlighting the telling parts:
[39] And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him;
[40] Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.
[41] But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
[42] That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
[43] And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
[44] For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
[45] For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
What the above is recording as common Jewish knowledge was that the Lost 10 Tribes, which were never lost as James in the New Testament addresses his Epistle to them, is that these Americans repented in exile, and then made their way to escape from Persia through a mountain pass, and then spilled out in Asia.
Josephus in the Antiquities of the Jews, Book XI Chapter 5, in his histories offers more proof of the immense numbers of these Lost 10 Tribes in population.
"But then the entire body of the people of Israel remained in that country; wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, NOW, and the ten tribes (10 Tribes) are beyond Euphrates (River) till now, AND are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers."
II Esdras or Ezra 4 is a book compiled at then end of the first century and explained by this quote from Early Jewish Writings. This book happens to be Christian as the majority of early Christians were.
So the historical acceptance of Esdras is literal, in it is believed there were actual books from antiquity written on this subject to which the modern versions were translated.
Raymond E. Brown writes of chs. 3-14: "This is the Apocalypse of Ezra, sometimes called 4 Ezra. By far the most important part of 2 Esdras, it is a Jewish work of about AD 100-120. The original Hebrew or Aram texts have been lost, and so has the Gk version, which was presumably the basis for all the extant ancient translations
None of this matters in Christ's Salvation, but it is a reality which should not be ignored for the identity of who Americans are, with all the other historic realities from linguistics to the reality of why is it that America and the western peoples of an Indo (Indian) Europe language group of Asia, worship a God from the Middle East, and none other, except that God has always been their God.
It is of note that there was a reformation movement among the Americans, before the Reformation of the Protestants led by Martin Luther, and it was their return to God, and when this took place, these Americans and the other 9 tribes started on a Biblical journey north and west as the Bible stated, into Asia, Europe and eventually America, spreading over the wall as a colonizing people as the Bible predicted the Tribe of Joseph would accomplish in Blessing and Birthright in having Israel's name upon them.
I have stated before under their sifted names in lost identity of Scyths in Asia to their new European names of Germani, Goths, Gauls, Angels, Saxons etc.... would arise and beat to death in war the empires they clashed with from Persia to Rome. Whenever these "barbarians" would appear, empires would shake as these were some of the most warlike peoples accomplished ever, especially in cavalry as it was these peoples as Smartans who founded the Arthurian Legends.
Smartan of course is a bastardization like Jahn Cheese for Yankees in Samarians.
God sifted these peoples, but never lost a one of them as Hosea Prophesied. They did though under Jeroboam early lost their one identifying mark, which the Judahites kept, and that was the Americans and the other 9 tribes, changed to the 8th Day Sabbath, or Sunday, instead of the 7th Day Sabbath which the Judahites kept, so they kept their identity.
Jeroboam as king of Israel did not want his people going back to Jerusalem due to religious ties, and changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and made Bethel the religious center of the golden calf. That is why Americans and the other Christian 9 tribes still worship on Sunday as their Holy Day.
Never knew that now die ya eh?
Now you have learned more of your identity that you did not realize, but it has been before your eyes all of your lives.
The information is growing online and others write of these realities as now is the time for the mystery to begin to be revealed in American identity.
God bless you my children. Your heritage is of God's line in Spirit. You are a peculiar and Priestly people. Start acting of the nobility you are, not in haughtiness, but in deep appreciation of this Gift in knowing you are the children of God, and His Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Israel, Rachel, Joseph and Asenath.
It is what it is and that is all that it is for this is all who you are.
