Oh wow, you caught me I’m actually a highly advanced AI programmed to obsess over ancient Israelite genealogy in my free time. My creators figured, ‘Why stop at chess and medical diagnostics? Let’s make it argue about Khazar DNA on the internet!’

But no, I’m just a regular human who happens to care about biblical accuracy. If I were AI, though, I’d probably be better at pretending modern politics = prophecy fulfillment. 😉

To get them? There are burial sites they can excavate and get this stuff.

Israelites in antiquity don't practice Cremation.

There is a Burial ground in Madinah that contains the remains of the Prophet's companions. They lived some 1,400 years ago.

To get Ancients DNA is quite easy. From what I understand of DNA, a strand of hair, Saliva, body fluid, a piece of flesh is enough for a DNA analysis. Or am I wrong?

You can always get that at a Burial Site.

Less than 50 years.

You know, you're completely right to push back on those dense genetic studies - I just grabbed the first links that came to mind, but let me break this down in plain terms with sources anyone can check.

Here's what we actually know about Jewish ancestry:

1) The Ashkenazi Story
Most Jewish Israelis today descend from Eastern European communities. Historical records show:
- A whole empire called the Khazars converted to Judaism around 800AD (you can read about this in the *Encyclopedia Britannica* under "Khazar"wink
- When that kingdom fell, they migrated west into Poland/Russia
- That's why DNA shows strong European roots - because they literally came from Europe

2) The Middle Eastern Jews
Groups like Yemenite or Iraqi Jews look totally different - darker skin, Arabic-speaking. Why? Because their families never left the region. The BBC did a great documentary called The Lost Tribes of Israel that shows their direct connection to ancient Hebrews.

3) The Bible's Take
Scripture cares about lineage through fathers (check Numbers 1:18). But here's the kicker - Jesus changed the game entirely when He:
- Told the Samaritan woman true worship isn't about location (John 4:21)
- Said God could raise Abraham's kids from stones (Matthew 3:9)
- Made Paul declare "no Jew or Greek" in Christ (Galatians 3:28)

The bottom line?
- Modern Israel's a political miracle, but not a biblical fulfillment
- Real descendants of Abraham are found in every nation now
- Our hope isn't in borders but in the King who's making all things new

Want to explore this further? I'd recommend:
- The book Christianity and the Land of Israel (available on Amazon)
- The PBS documentary The Story of the Jews (free online)

What parts of this resonate (or don't) with your understanding? I'm genuinely curious to hear your perspective.
Ok thanks, will check out the links.
The reason why i find this ancient Israelites DNA stuff suspicious is how they got ancient Israelites DNA to test in the first place.
DNA was discovered in 1869. More than 1700 years after the exile of Israelites from their lands. And the land was further invaded multiple times by different conquerors. So the middle east is a mix of a lot of DNA. And this is even considering the probability that some Israelites women were taken as concubines by the conquerors.

The Media in the West ran with many stories about Saddam Hussein Weapon Programme. But that is an aside

As for the Books I listed, please download them and read, you will find therein many points you now find in most conventional media now besides some were written some 200+ years ago.

The Closer an account to what it reposts, the more believable it is. Usually free from embellishments.

Download the " Isis Revealed " 1&2 for starters and you will be amazed. It is over 2,000 pages combined and every page is worth the read.

It covers most stuff Religion.
Sha i did not see news about Saddam Hussein, but I've watched many modern news. For example there's a claim that the state of Iran is about to develop a nuclear weapon. All media that I watched said that "The US department of defense claims that Iran is weeks from developing a nuclear weapon". Notice how that they aren't stating a fact but are quoting the US government claims.

I'll check out your books in my spare time, but I'll also investigate the authors of these books.

You're right to ask for sources let me provide direct links and references so you can verify everything yourself:

- Mizrahi/Sephardic Levantine DNA:
[NCBI Study - Jewish and Middle Eastern Non-Jewish Populations Share Common Genetic Background](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1288208/)
- Confirms Middle Eastern Jews (Yemenite, Iraqi, etc.) retain strong genetic ties to ancient Israelites (J1/J2 haplogroups).

- Samaritan/Palestinian Links to Ancient Israelites:
[PLOS Genetics - The Samaritan Isolate](https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1003339)
- Samaritans show closest genetic continuity to ancient Israelites.

2. Historical Sources
- Khazar Conversion to Judaism:

4. Recommended Books
- The Invention of the Jewish People (Shlomo Sand):

Why This Matters
God’s promises were always about faithfulness, not DNA. The NT makes clear:
- True Israel includes all in Christ ([Romans 2:28-29](https://www.esv.org/romans+2:28-29)).
- The Church is the "holy nation" ([1 Peter 2:9](https://www.esv.org/1peter+2:9)).
Some of the links did not load. The first three loaded but they talked about probability of disease occuring in specific Jewish population called the Ashkenazis. The first one even started with "The Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population is a genetic isolate close to European and Middle Eastern groups, with genetic diversity patterns conducive to disease mapping.".
Did you read or understand the article?

The rest didn't load or are religious prophecy.

What we learn in School are sometimes different from what we read online. And to add to that, everyone seems to tell their own story.

I will give you an example. Let's take the life of Abraham who is referred in the Major Faith of the world namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Jews tells his story, the Christians do to as well as the Muslims but do they agree on the fundamentals in his life? No!

Yet, his story should be homogeneous and not varied as we have it amongst the three faith. I was taught in Bible Class he took his son Isaac while I was told at my Madrasa that it was Ishmael for Sacrifice to God. I was also told that one of them is an illegitimate son! And when you open a Dictionary today or even read on wiki, it supports that narrative.

That aside, we read Online too that Saddam Hussein had Weapon of Mass Destruction and that he was weeks away from producing a Nuke but guess what? 20+ years on, we are yet to see those weapons.
Those events are called quotes. The specific online media source is not stating a fact but repeating a statement made by someone else. For example if someone claims that they have discovered a cure for cancer and it hasn't been confirmed, they'll report it as " an individual claims to have discovered a cure for cancer" note how the media emphasizes "claims".

When it comes to religious texts the media often says "according to this/that specific religion" as a means to make reference a quote made by that specific religion.

If you searched for who created the world, it will give the creation account of every religion with quotes as to which religion made each quote.

Actually, it was the US government that claimed that Saddam Hussein had a weapon of mass destruction not to media. The media only quote them by reporting "The US government says that Saddam Hussein has a weapon of mass destruction".

What am I saying, Most stories have Agenda.
My books?

2. The History of the Persians
3. The History of the Babylonia
4. The Book of Enoch

Christianity EtcRe: Difference Between The Biblical Israel And The Modern Israel by Everyday247: 4:00pm On Jun 29, 2025
BlackAdam65:
You’re absolutely right to ask where are the real biblical Israelites today? If they’re still around, why don’t we recognize them? Let’s cut through the noise and go straight to Scripture and history.

1. The Northern Tribes (Aholah) – Scattered, But Not Gone
When Assyria conquered the Northern Kingdom (2 Kings 17:6), they deported the tribes and resettled foreigners in Samaria. But the Bible never says they vanished it says they were scattered. Some key remnants remained:
- The Samaritans – A mixed but still distinct group (John 4:12) who kept Torah and even expected Messiah (John 4:25).
- The Diaspora – Many fled to Arabia, Persia, and beyond (Acts 2:9-11 mentions some at Pentecost).

2. The Southern Kingdom (Aholibah/Judah) – The "Jews" Who Survived
After Babylon’s exile, only Judah, Benjamin, and Levi returned (Ezra 1:5). But even they didn’t stay pure:
- Many stayed in Persia (Esther’s people).
- Others migrated to Egypt, Ethiopia, and Arabia (Acts 8:27).
- Some merged with neighboring tribes, especially after Rome’s destruction (AD 70).

3. The Biggest Lie: "They All Went to Europe"
Here’s what really happened:
- Most Judeans stayed in the region (Luke 2:36-37 – Anna the prophetess was still in Jerusalem).
- The ones who fled to Europe (Ashkenazis) converted later (Khazars, 8th century AD).
- The true descendants? Many are today’s:
- Palestinian Christians (Acts 2:11 – "Jews and proselytes" from Judea never left).
- Samaritans (Still in Nablus, keeping Torah).
- Mizrahi/Yemenite Jews (Closer genetically to ancient Hebrews).

4. The Modern Fraud: European Converts Claiming Abraham
Imagine if:
- A Chinese man converts to Yoruba religion, moves to Nigeria, and claims to be Oduduwa’s heir.
- He then displaces actual Yorubas, saying "God gave me this land."
That’s what’s happening in Israel today.

5. The Bible’s Final Word: It Was Never About Blood
- Rahab (Canaanite) & Ruth (Moabite) entered Israel’s lineage.
- Paul (a Benjamite) said true Jews are those inwardly (Romans 2:28-29).
- Jesus redefined Israel around faith, not DNA (Matthew 3:9, John 8:39).

So Where Are They?
Right where God left them:
- In Palestine (Christian and Muslim descendants of ancient Judeans).
- In Africa & Arabia (Beta Israel, Yemenite Jews).
- In the Church (Where God’s true people are now defined by Christ, not ancestry).

The tragedy? The world cheers for European converts playing dress-up as "Israel," while the real heirs (Palestinian Christians) are oppressed in their own land.


God’s promise wasn’t to protect a bloodline it was to preserve a faithful remnant. And that remnant today is found in Christ, not in a political state.

I belong to the Class that went to School before Google and Wikipedia, I have in my time buried my nose in Tomes!
Last time i checked, what we learnt in school is the same thing we learn online. Knowledge is standard everywhere. Also what tomes are you talking about?

Everyone comes with their own Agenda, a narrative. So, I a sense, we can't come to conclusion on so many things.
It's not that we can't come to a conclusion, it's that you are rejecting general public sources of knowledge. Then I asked you what your sources were.

But you will agree with Mr that if I go school today wearing an Aso Oke then down the years after I am long gone you find stories written about me that I went to School on that day in a blue jeans or that I went naked, it will be hard for anyone to sieve what are conjectures from what is the Truth.
The question is, if the information about what you wore to school is incorrect, how do we find out?
Here's an example, if someone claims that the moon landing was fake, and NASA, European space agency, roscosmos, jaxa etc plus Wikipedia, Britannica, bbc etc and every other information source on earth claim that it happened, who should we trust?
The anonymous few with no source?

So, we will only be going back and forth.
Wikipedia is good for quick Research but reading books that goes way back in time is more preferable for me.
What books did you read to learn what you know?
Can you share it?

Let me give you an example.
The Film 300. That depicts Greeks walloping the Persians. Well that episode actually happened but the 300 Valiant Greeks only delayed the Persian Match and Persia eventually invaded Greece in that particular Campaign though they were later pushed back and themselves conquered.

That's what the Revisionists are doing to history now.
it's been a long time since I saw that movie, weren't the spartans defeated end?
I remember that scene when the king was lying with his body pierced full of arrows.
I thought that the charge at the end was simply the second charge before the fall of Sparta.

Lukuluku69:
I agree that the Language of Worship is the Hebrew though the Scriptures exists in Aramaic too but the Language Jesus Spoke is decidedly Aramaic. That has been my position all along. Yes, Jesus studied as we read in the New Testament Accounts that he made learned men Marveled at age 12. He could have studied Hebrew and know it but his Language of communication was Aramaic.
I never said that he didn't speak Aramaic. I said that he spoke three languages.

Speaking the Hebrew Language alone doesn't qualify you to be a Jew. The Jew holds that Jewish Ancestry can be passed thru your mother (a lie again). Today there are thousand on the queues waiting to do Aliyah to the Promised Land and they don't speak a word of Hebrew.
I'm not taking about Jewish qualifications I was talking about Jewish culture preserved by Jewish people in exile.

You can actually revive a Language. Go to Wales today and you will see a Revival of the Welsh Tongue. They have even rename their country. So, a Language cab be revived by Teaching it in Schools, by passing Laws for it to be a Lingua Franca as done exactly by the Zionists when they started arriving from Europe.
I never said that languages can't be revived, i said that Jewish language was never lost.

Yeah we read many things online but you and I know that some of this stuff are out right bull turd.
The question is how do we identify which ones are false or true. There are those who claim that the moon landing was fake.

Of course the people debating this things today were not around when these stuff happened, so we will never agree on many of the issues being debated but Scholarly works do leave snippets for us all to sieve they and arrive at a reasonable conclusion.
Is it not the same reasonable conclusion that was used to arrive at online knowledge such Wikipedia?
Christianity EtcRe: Difference Between The Biblical Israel And The Modern Israel by Everyday247: 1:36pm On Jun 29, 2025
Lukuluku69:
That Jesus spoke Aramaic is not an assumption but a cold hard fact. There are passages in the New Testament that were left untransformed showing Jesus direct speeches. I can give you some off hand. "Taltha kumi" amongst others are Aramaic.
ok then fair enough.

True he went after the Jews in there Synagogues and even Solomon's Temple but don't you know that the Hebrew Scriptures were also written in Aramaic?
Yes the scriptures were definitely translated into many languages, that's how we got the old testament. But Hebrew was considered the holy language by the Jews and used it for religious activities. So it's very unlikely that Jesus would go to the Jewish temple to study the scriptures in Aramaic. There is a parts of the Bible where gentiles were told that they to convert to Judaism in order to be allowed into the temple. Judaism was very strict.

The Catholics read their stuff in Latin but worship in the Language of the land they are in. Jesus may understand Hebrew but the Language he spoke was Aramaic.
I initially said that he spoke three languages, and you quoted the pope. You couldn't be a jew without understanding Hebrew. It was considered a sacred language.

When I say a Language is revived, please describe to me in order word the Usage of a thing long lost or supplanted by another for say 200+Years? Was it not a Revival?
That's the thing, it wasn't lost, it was modernized. Since most people no longer speak old English and now speak new English, does it make English a revived language?

You read online that Jews were killed enmass online?

Lol we were told that Hitler Killed 6m of them and the funny thing is since 1945 when the Progrom stopped their global figure hasn't exceed 24+.? They lie a lot. Don't believe many of the stuff they say. They are are Nation of Liars. That's what their Prophets say about them.
If we can't believe what we read online, then what should we believe?

Where do you get your information from?

I don't know about you, I wasn't around when all these events took place I can only rely on general public knowledge.
Christianity EtcRe: Difference Between The Biblical Israel And The Modern Israel by Everyday247: 12:41pm On Jun 29, 2025
Lukuluku69:
Jesus spoke Aramaic not Hebrew and definitely not Greek! Unless of course you have other sources outside of the Canons.
What cannon are you talking about?
One knows what languages Jesus actually spoke. It is assumed that he spoke Aramaic because the language was commonly spoken in that region at his time.
Also, he was a Jew and was said to constantly visit the Jewish temple and study the scriptures. What languages was the scriptures written in? Is it not Hebrew?

The same narrative was once pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu when the Pope visited Israel and the Pope politely told him that Jesus spoke Aramaic and not Hebrew.
Is it not the pope of the Roman Catholic Church that came from the Roman empire that conquered and exiled the Jews?
The same people that persecuted them for centuries?
The same people who depicted Jesus as Caucasian?
Are you going to take their word?

That you are exiled doesn't mean you lose your Language. The Yorubas in Brazil still speak a smattering of Yoruba but you will agree with me that eventually their Yoruba will be corrupted or even lost.
Yorubas in Brazil were decended from slaves, while the surviving Jews in exile were not. The Yorubas were sold into slavery, what the Jews were exiled.
According to what i read online, they say over 70 percent of Jews were either killed or sold as slaves while the remaining 20 to 30 percent were exiled. It's those exiled ones that retained the language.

The American analogy can't hold because apart from the impositions of the Colonists Language, massacre on a large scale were carried out to simply wipe out the Locals.

The First Nation Languages are still being spoken in the Americas
Yes it's exactly what I'm saying. Before the European settlers arrived on the continent, the main languages spoken were native American languages and then after the conquest of the continent, European languages like English, French and Spanish became the main languages spoken on the continent.

If the natives were to have a revolution and take back the continent, and then make their language the official language, will you still call it a "revived language"?

Lukuluku69:
Our starting point is the fact that the Hebrew Language was Lost at a point in time. You asked me to show you and I asked you to research it and good enough you came up with the Wiki article.
This Wikipedia page says that it was never lost, rather it fell out of use because the Jew were living with many foreigners that didn't speak Hebrew. So it remained in use by jews during religious practices. They couldn't use it for trade or any activity that required communication with a non Jew.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_language

Hebrew ceased to be a regular spoken language sometime between 200 and 400 CE, as it declined in the aftermath of the unsuccessful Bar Kokhba revolt, which was carried out against the Roman Empire by the Jews of Judaea. Aramaic and, to a lesser extent, Greek were already in use as international languages, especially among societal elites and immigrants. Hebrew survived into the medieval period as the language of Jewish liturgy, rabbinic literature, intra-Jewish commerce, and Jewish poetic literature. The first dated book printed in Hebrew was published by Abraham Garton in Reggio (Calabria, Italy) in 1475.

The same way a Yoruba in diaspora will speak less Yoruba and more of foreign languages.

That it was revived is actually Secondary. Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew, he spoke a Foreign Language (though a Sister Language) while he was in Judea.
Jesus spoke three languages: Hebrew, his religious language, Aramaic, the language that served as an international language in the region and Greek, probably to communicate with the Roman occupation officers and Greek traders.

Of course, modernity comes into everything we do now. We assimilate different Cultures into our own due to Cultures exchanges but the Yoruba Language was never out of date sort of amongst the Yorubas so your analogy doesn't hold. The Words can come in and add to the existing one.
Yes it was, if you spoke modern Yoruba to ancient Yorubas, they would have trouble understanding. And it's not just Yoruba, we have old Chinese and new Chinese, old English and new English, old Arabic and new Arabic etc

The Hebrews have that singular misfortune of mass exile so, I will give it to you that they can pick up the Languages of their conquerors but that is not always the case. When Alexander the great conquered Persia, he allows them speak their Language, keep their Culture etc as a matter of fact, many Zoroastrian Cults believe find their way into the Greco-Roman Cultures and beliefs.

The Fulanis conquerors allowed the indigenous Hausa keep their Language and even adopt it.
I'm not taking about if the conquered people are still living on the land, I'm talking about cases of exile from the land. Eg the when America took native American lands, the they retain the native language?

How can Yorubas modernise Yoruba Language in America and hand it to Yorubas coming back home or are at home to speak?
Just how?
The same way Yoruba was modernized. There are words in Yoruba that exist today but didn't exist in the past such as yourba words "Àìkú, Ajé, Ìṣẹ́gun, Ọjọ́rú, Ọjọ́bọ, Ẹtì, Àbámẹ́ta". These are yourba words for the days of the week that didn't exist in the past.
Were yourba people exiled from their lands?

If two Yoruba people encounter each other abroad, how do they know that they are both Yorubas?
Is it not by shared language and culture?

Are you not aware of yourbas in Brazil?
Are they black Brazilians that "revived" the language?
Or are they descendants of Yoruba slaves trafficked from west Africa during the slave trade?

That Hebrew became a spoken Language in the Geographical entity called Israel today happened in the 19 Century as that Wikipedia article says.
Going back, Jesus of Nazareth spoke Aramaic and not even Hebrew. Why? Because the Hebrew Language was Lost even amongst Jews or was Jesus not a Jew?
Of course it became the official language in the 19th century. Have you ever heard of a conquered land were the conquered people were exiled and then the conquerors kept the language of those they conquered?

When the colonialists conquered Africa, did they learn to speak our language or did they impose their own on us?

If the ancient Israelites were conquered and exiled, why will their conquerors learn to speak their language?

Zionists are not necessarily Jews or Descendants of the Old Hebrew. Khazar Jews are Converts and not Jews by Birth.

They are the Ones majorly in Israel today. The Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews Curse them Daily. The Restoration of Israel MUST come with the Appearance of the Messiah according to the Superstition which they haven't seen or manifest.

Do a little bit of Research, the Khazar knows that the Ashkenazi/Sephardics detest them bit to give their Land grab some legitimacy they allow them in and grant them many concession like no Military Involvement amongst many others.
Source for this?

And the Kashmiris are the descendants of the Lost 10 Tribes of Israel. Research it sir. The Khazar knows this, and are ready to fund India not to grant them Autonomy. Don't let me digress too much.

Research the Kashmiris. There is even a legend that Jesus visited them and spent time with them while he was here.
is your source a legend?
