ADAMIC MAN, THE ISRAELITES, THE ETHNOS Not all Adamic people are Israelites, and this makes

the definition of these terms helpful. It was Mark Twain who said roughly, Man is the only being that blushes or has a need to. Now this tongue-incheek remark has a great deal of truth in it, but it must be noted that it can only apply to Adamic man, or the Caucasian race. It is obvious the other races cannot physically blush. The word Adam means ruddy complected, and he was the first Caucasian. Now what do the terms Israel and Israelite mean? Who are YHVHs people? For our purpose here, forget for the moment that today the words refer specifically to a particular land in the Middle East whose people call themselves Israelites. We are interested primarily in the meaning of the terms as used in the scriptures. Now, Strongs Concordance gives us the following technical information: Israel (as used in the Old Testament #3478) is symbolic of the name of Jacob and his posterity, or seed. This name comprises El (#410) meaning God, and especially with reference to the Almighty, and Sarah (#8280) meaning to prevail, or have power as a prince: Israel (as used in the New Testament #2474): of Hebrew; the adopted name of Jacob and his descendants, literally or figuratively: and Israelite (as used In the New Testament) descendant of Israel. Consider first, Israelite. One cannot be a descendant of a land, so this word means of Israel, and Jacob is Israel. Now Jacob was an Adamic man and an Israelite, but it does not follow that all Adamic people are necessarily Israelites. Why not? Jacob was the seed of Abraham, and Abraham was Adamic, being the seed of Adam, BUT...turn to Romans 9:6-7 where Paul addresses the question, who are the Israelites. 6. Not as though the Word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel which are of Israel. 7. Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children, but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. In other words, not all the sons of Abraham are of Israel, or true Israelites. You will remember Isaac was the Issue of Abraham and his wife, Sarah, both of them being of very old age at the time of the birth of Isaac, this child of YHVHs promise. You will also remember that Abraham had other children by the Egyptian bondswoman, Hagar. These were not of Israel or Israelites. We are told only the seed of Isaac can be correctly called Israelites, or of true Israel. It matters not the name of the land in which you live. True Israel came through the twelve tribes and are now spread throughout the world. The land wherein lies the Holy City, Jerusalem, is today called Israel, and the people living there call themselves Israelites. This is the same as if we lived in Texas, we would very likely call ourselves Texans. The hang-up is that the Biblical meaning of the word Israelites refers to the seed of YHVHs people and not to a land in which people live. Therefore, just as all Adamic men are not Israelites, those living in Israel, calling themselves Israelites, are not necessarily Israelites in the Biblical sense. (I might add, not all true Israelites are YHVHs elect, that remnant of 7,000 who have been called for the special purpose of teaching with Christ during the millennium.) Now we have established so far: 1) Adamic man means the Caucasian race. 2) The true Israelite falls within the Adamic group, but is limited to the seed of Isaac. 3) Therefore all Adamic men are not Israelites, and 4) The people that live in Israel today, calling themselves Israelites are not necessarily the seed of Isaac, or true Israelites, in the Biblical sense. (Just as the Kenites, Sons of Cain, who call themselves Jews are not, as Christ states in Rev. 2:9). You are well aware that the earth is peopled with others besides Adamic man in which group the Israelite falls. Let us consider the ethnos. (Ethnos in Hebrew means race. The Kenites, for one, are not Adamic, being sons of Cain. This is covered in a separate study: Identity, Sec. II, Kenites.) Turn with me to Genesis 1:26. 26. And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness:

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. Now if you will refer to verses 20-23, you will see God created moving creatures that had life on the fifth day. And the creation of man, male and female, takes place on the sixth day. Notice a female was created. This is not Adam and Eve. The seed of these are the ethnos, or the other nations. In verse 28, every herb and tree that yields seed is given them for food,

but the Garden of Eden has not yet been planted. They are told themselves to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth. I repeat, this was not Adam and Eve. This chapter closes with this creation already established on the sixth day. (In connection with a separate subject, keep that word re-plenish in mind, when you study preexistence in the world that was.) Turn to Genesis, Chap. 2. In verses 1-2, you find that the host of heaven and earth were finished, and YHVH rested and it was the seventh day. Following this; in v. 5: ...there was not a man to till the ground and in v. 7-8, He formed man of the dust and he became a living soul that He put in the Garden in v. 15. This man is identified as Adam in v. 19, the female, Eve, being created in v. 22. The Bible is specific. The Bible is logical. This cannot be the female who was created on the 6th day in v. 27 of Chapter 1. So we see that the so-called ethnic nations were established prior to the Caucasian nation. Arnold Murray
