And matter of who is doing abusing is most important thing we as a world full of equal people must ascertain. Who are Benjaminites who were thrown out of Israel and later returned under Judas Maccabee? Who are these mercenaries who protected Egypt from Elephantine stronghold?To be sure there are many perspectives on history of Israel and Jews. The next excerpt is from a group that I am not enamoured with to any great extent. I recommend a thorough analysis of their agenda despite factual history they provide in this little snipette of their approach.
“The division of Israel took place under rule of Rehoboam over Judah, Jeroboam over Israel, in 975 B.C. The House of Israel sinned through idolatry and were cast out of land in 721 B.C. and did not return. The House of Judah also sinned and were punished and banished to Babylon for seventy years, and a remnant of them under Ezra and Nehemiah returned as "the Jews" in 536 B.C. The term "Jews" is never in Bible applied to Twelve Tribes or to Ten-tribed House of Israel. These were to be divorced from Mosaic law and lost to human history and knowledge, but known to God, re-covenanted in Christ, and to enjoy Hebrew birthright in isles of seas, to be His national evangelists to world, and inheritors of Kingdom of God taken away from Jews and given to a Nation. It will be shown that British enjoy all unconditional promises given to seed of Abraham in Christian era and that therefore no other Nation can now replace them as Israel.
It was in 741 B.C. that Isaiah prophesied that ‘within three score and five years shall Ephraim be broken in pieces, that it be not a people.’ The final siege of Samaria and deportation of Israel took place in 721 B.C. Subsequently in 676 B.C. Esar-Haddon completed work begun and from this date history of house of Israel ceases in Scriptures, and tale is taken up by Prophecy.
Judah was carried captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in 603 B.C. and Temple finally destroyed in 586 B.C. The word "Jew" is found for first time in Bible in II Kings 41:6, but Second Book of Kings was not written till return of Judah and Benjamin after end of Babylonian captivity.” (9)
The House of Judah or David includes Solomon and person who I was named after. Yes, Robert Bruce and Bruttii of Pythagoras’ Bruttium (Croton in Italy) and many other Keltic nobles have run things in most of world for a long time.
Elephantine Mercenary Jews or Hyksos Overlords of Egypt?
I have written one whole book on matter of Who is a Jew and I did not include this specific quote in it. There are so many things I could include at this juncture. This quote is from a top academic and Egyptologist from Oxford.
“Less fortunate than Greeks, who could worship their gods unhampered and build sanctuaries to them in Greek settlements in Delta, {Such as Naucratis which is a Bilderberg or Physiocratic type of venture we have dealt with many times before.} were Jews. Since time of XXVIth Dynasty they had formed a considerable part of garrison at Elephantine as mercenaries in fortress defending Egypt from attack in south. There they were allowed to build a temple to Yahve and his two female companions, Ashima and Anar, whose worship was not forbidden among Jews before introduction of unified religious law on occasion of rebuilding of Yahve’s temple at Jerusalem in 515 B.C. The Jews of Elephantine also continued to enjoy privilege of possessing a sanctuary of their own during Persian rule throughout fifth century; but clashes now and then took place between them and native Egyptian population, probably as a result of increases of Egyptian nationalism under foreign domination.
