Scripture is not silent concerning the exile and dispersion of the Ten Tribes from the scene of their Assyrian captivity. They were to be “wanderers among the nations,” as Hosea predicted (9:17), or as Amos (9:9) says, “I will sift the House of Israel among all the nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.”

A tremendous amount of misinformation is being spread in the liberal-left media inflaming diverse crowds of rioters who seem bent on destroying any signs of Anglo-Saxon heritage, while claiming a moral and historical right to do so.

The parables of Christ dealing with subjects such as the two coins and the two sons (Luke 15 and 16) is spiritualized and watered down into nothing more than a sweet moral “Aesop’s fable” type story with no literal application to the two houses of Israel, which is the actual focus.

The Shaker communities all died out because they did not allow marriages or births, and only one out of ten children who were brought in by their parents remained in the Shaker religion. Yet some of the other religious denominational oddities of the period are still with us today, shaking the foundations of Christian belief with their disparate and extra-biblical teachings.

Hosea said the Lord would prevent them from finding their path back. “Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths…Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

It is almost beyond belief that concepts of pure paganism pose as Christian in our churches today. Believers need to be warned that not all that is religious is right in the eyes of God.

So, this most important prophecy, the high-water mark of prophetic understanding, could be either literal or spiritual, fulfilled in Jeremiah’s time, or Christ’s sacrifice, or else awaiting the coming millennium. Utter confusion reigns among leading New Testament scholars!

It is troubling that mainstream Christianity today seems to have lost its sense of mission and evangelism. The attitude of many modern evangelicals and fundamentalists is that evangelization—or proselytism, as now disparagingly labeled—is wrong. “We must accept each other as we are. We must candidly remain as we are.”

In Daniel 12:7, a section of Scripture titled, “The Time of the End” in our King James Bibles, we read, “it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.”

Was Balaam an historical figure? The Biblical Background Commentary reports, “In 1967 a Dutch archaeological expedition led by H. J. Franken discovered some inscribed pieces of plaster at a site in Jordan known as Deir ‘Allah. The fragments are apparently written in Aramaic and date to about 850 B.C. They mention Balaam son of Beor, the same figure described as a “seer” in Numbers 22-24.
