Previously the Jews came back to Israel with a prophet or with the help of the Persian emperor. As Hoshea said,<br /><br />1. Rejoice not, O Israel, on joyous occasions, like the peoples, for you have strayed from your God: you love a harlot's hire on all threshingfloors of corn. א. <br />2. The threshingfloor and the wine cellar shall not feed them, and fresh wine shall fail her. ב. <br />3. They shall not stay in the land of the Lord, but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria they shall eat unclean [food]. ג. <br />4. They shall not pour libations of wine to the Lord, they will not please Him; their sacrifices are like bread of mourners to them, all those who partake thereof become contaminated, for their bread is for themselves, it should not come into the house of the Lord. ד. <br />5. What will you do for the appointed day and for the day of the Lord's massacre? ה. <br />6. For behold, they have gone away because of plunder, Egypt shall gather them, Moph shall bury them; the treasurehouses for their silver-thistles shall inherit them, briers in their dwellings. ו. <br />7. The days of the visitation have arrived; the days of recompense have arrived, let Israel know; the prophet shall be a fool, the man of the spirit mad; [this is] because of your great iniquity, and the hatred is great. ז. <br />8. Ephraim is a prophet with my God, [for the] prophet [they lay] a fowler's snare on all his ways, [causing] hatred in the house of his God. ח. <br />9. They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; He shall remember their iniquity, He shall visit their sins. ט. <br />10. Like grapes in the desert I found Israel, like a ripe fig on a fig tree, in its beginning, I saw your forefathers; they came to Baal-peor, and they separated themselves to a shameful thing, and they became detestable when they loved.. י. <br />11. As for Ephraim-their honor shall fly away like a bird; from birth, from the womb, or from conception. יא. <br />12. For, if they raise their children, I will bereave them before they become men, for woe to them also when I turn away from them. יב. <br />13. Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a dwelling place, but Ephraim is busy taking his children out to the slayer. יג. <br />14. Give them, O Lord, what you will give; give them a bereaving womb and dry breasts. יד. <br />15. All their evil is in Gilgal, for there I hated them; for the evil of their deeds, I will drive them from My house; I will not continue to love them, all their princes are rebellious. טו. <br />16. Ephraim has been smitten, their root is dry, they shall not produce fruit; even when they give birth, I will slay the precious ones of their womb. טז. <br />17. My God shall reject them because they did not obey Him, and they shall be wandering among the nations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-63578208553133720582009-05-10T13:35:00.000-07:002009-05-10T13:35:00.000-07:00Young Activist,

Genetic purity? That doesn't exist for the Jewish People nor should it. We welcome converts, but certainly do not encourage them.<br /><br />The only non Jews having a right to reside permanently in the land are those following the 7 noahide laws AND who have permission from the appropriate Rabbinical court.<br /><br />All others have got to go.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-86456971005332589932009-05-05T08:37:00.000-07:002009-05-05T08:37:00.000-07:00No state is under any obligation to support and al...No state is under any obligation to support and allow a fifth-column in its borders and I have no sympathies for the Arab citizens of Israel who took to the street to proclaim their admiration for Hamas...amen my friend..kol hakavod !WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.com
