There are those that believe that the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 is not the Providence of GOD. They are of the belief that the Modern State of Israel was brought about by some very Evil, Nefarious People. In particular it was Prime Minister David Ben Gurion that spearheaded the Cause for the Jew’s Liberation. This Supposition is based on the history of the Khazarian Empire or as others call it the Kazarian Mafia. This region is essentially what is Ukraine now. Consider some Observations.
 

1. The Khazarian Empire was at 1 Time entirely Christian before converting to Judaism. What about that Mafia also then? It was and is the Same People.
 

2. Granted, Ukraine has many Jews and currently the President is Jewish, but so is Putin. So one can presume that the Russo-Ukrainian War is really a Jewish War. And it is the Christians that are being Slaughtered, etc. Perhaps this is being formulated by the ‘Evil and nefarious People’.
 

3. Ben Gurion was a Socialist, as were most of Israel’s Prime Ministers. All were of Ukrainian or former Russian Empire Regions. They naturally had an Inclination for the Communist Manifesto Model. The Kibbutzim established in Israel were all modeled after this Socialist Utopia Template. And it was the USSR that was the 2nd only after the USA to officially recognize Israel as a Sovereign Nation. Order a Hard Copy of one’s Study into the History of the Modern Israel.
 

13TH KING OF ISRAEL

AntiChrist False Messiah
He Who Comes in His Own Name

The purpose of this Book is to correlate the first 13 Kings of both the Kingdoms of Judea and Israel with that of the 1st 13th ‘Kings’ of  Modern Day Israel in terms of its Prime Ministers.

4. Was the Modern State of Israel founded by ‘Nefarious and Evil People’? Sure. The main backing, financially, of the Jewish State was bankrolled by the Rothschild’s and the Rockefeller’s. Israel was founded as a Secular State, but ‘Jewish’ in its Constitution. However, it has allowed for ‘Freedom of Religion’, where Missionary Work can occur. Then consider that in 2018, on the 70thh Year Anniversary, Israel legally claimed all Biblical Rights, Covenants and Promises. See Document here. It is called the following.

The Khazars

 DEFINE AND DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT FACTIONS OR SECTS OF WHAT A 'JEW' IS IN THEIR COMMUNITY IN THE MODERN SENSE.
____________________

In the Modern Sense, the Term "Jew" encompasses a diverse set of Identities—Ethnic, Religious, Cultural, and Even National—and within Jewish Communities, there are multiple Factions, Sects, or Denominations that differ in Belief, Practice, and Worldview. Here's a structured overview of the major Groupings:

I. RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS (Mainstream Judaism)

These are defined by their Religious Interpretations and Levels of Observance of Jewish LAW (Halakha).

1. Orthodox Judaism

Beliefs: Strict adherence to Halakha (Jewish Law); belief in Divine Authorship of the Torah, the Written Tradition. However the Oral Tradition is upheld by the Orthodox as being Equal if not Superior to the Written Law.

Subgroups:

Modern Orthodox: 

Engage with Modern Society (e.g., Secular Education, Careers), while remaining Halakhically Observant.

Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox): 

Strong Separation from Secular Society; include groups like:

-Lithuanian/Yeshivish

-Hasidic Jews (e.g., Chabad, Satmar, Breslov)

-Led by Rebbes (Spiritual Leaders).

-Emphasize Mysticism and Community Hierarchy.

Sephardic/Mizrahi Orthodox: 

Jews from Middle Eastern and North African backgrounds, often more Culturally Integrated but Religiously Traditional.

2. Conservative Judaism (Masorti)

-Beliefs: Upholds Halakha but interprets it more flexibly than Orthodoxy.

-Focus: Balancing Tradition and Modernity.

-Common in North America, less so in Israel.

3. Reform Judaism

-Beliefs: Emphasizes Individual Autonomy, Ethics over Ritual, and Evolving Interpretation of Judaism.

-Practice: Gender Equality, Mixed Seating, Vernacular in Services.

-Most liberal of major denominations.

4. Reconstructionist Judaism

-Beliefs: Judaism as an Evolving Religious Civilization.

-Practice: Emphasizes Culture, Community, and Democratic Structure.

-God: Often Non-Theistic or Metaphorical Understandings.

5. Humanistic Judaism

-Beliefs: Nontheistic; celebrates Jewish Culture and identity without Belief in GOD.

-Focus: Human Reason, Ethics, and Jewish History.

II. ETHNIC / GEOGRAPHIC SUBGROUPS

These are based on Regional or Cultural Heritage, not Religious Interpretation per se.

1. Ashkenazi Jews

-From Central and Eastern Europe.

-Majority in the U.S., Europe, and parts of Israel.

-Developed Yiddish Language and Distinct Customs.

2. Sephardic Jews

-Descendants of Jews expelled from Spain/Portugal in 1492.

-Settled in North Africa, Balkans, Ottoman Empire.

-Preserve Ladino Language, unique Liturgy and Traditions.

3. Mizrahi Jews

-Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa (e.g., Iraq, Iran, Yemen).

-Often grouped with Sephardim in Israel due to similar Liturgy.

4. Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews)

-Ancient Jewish Community from Ethiopia.

-Practice rooted in PRE-Talmudic Judaism; now integrated into Israeli Orthodoxy.

5. Bnei Anusim (Crypto-Jews)

-Descendants of Jews forced to convert during the Inquisition.

-Some reclaiming Jewish Identity today.

III. SECULAR / CULTURAL JEWISH IDENTITIES

These Jews may not practice Judaism religiously but identify through Heritage, Culture, or Ethnicity.

1. Secular/Humanist Jews

- Identify as Jewish through Language, Culture, or History.

- May support Israel, celebrate Holidays culturally, or engage in Social Justice.

2. Zionist Jews

- Political Identity focused on support for the Jewish State of Israel.

- Includes both Religious and Secular Zionists.

Can be divided into:

-Religious Zionists (often Modern Orthodox)

-Secular Zionists

-Ultra-Orthodox Anti-Zionists (e.g., Neturei Karta)

IV. OTHER GROUPS & MOVEMENTS

1. Karaite Jews

-Reject the Oral Torah (Talmud); follow only the Hebrew Bible.

-Small, Ancient Sect mainly in Israel and Eastern Europe.

2. Samaritans

-Claim descent from the Ancient Israelites.

-Accept only the Samaritan Pentateuch; separate Priesthood and Rituals.

3. Messianic Jews 

-Not accepted as Jews by Mainstream Jewish Denominations.

-Believe Jesus (Yeshua) is the Messiah.

-Use Jewish Symbols and Customs, Theologically aligned with Evangelical Christianity.

V. ISRAELI SOCIETY: POLITICAL/RELIGIOUS IDENTITIES

Modern Israel further segments Jewish identity:

1. Hiloni (Secular)

-Non-Religious Jews; culturally Jewish but often not Observant.

2. Masorti (Traditional)

-Observe some Traditions; middle ground between Secular and Orthodox.

3. Dati (Religious)

-Includes both Modern Orthodox and Religious Zionists.

4. Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox)

-Often live in insular Communities; High Birthrate, increasing Political Power.

 SHOW WHERE THE NOTION OF THE THEORY THAT THE EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS CAME FROM OR ORIGINATED IN WHAT WAS KNOWN AS THE REGION OF KHAZARIA? 

The Theory that Eastern European Jews (Ashkenazi Jews) originated from the Region of Khazaria—a Medieval Turkic Kingdom—is known as the Khazar Hypothesis. It's a controversial and widely debated Topic among Historians, Geneticists, and Political Theorists. Here's a breakdown of what the Theory claims, the Evidence for and against it, and its Significance:

What Was Khazaria?

Khazaria was a powerful Multi-Ethnic Empire located in what is now Southern Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and the Caucasus, flourishing between the 7th and 10th Centuries. The Khazars were a Turkic People who controlled Trade between Byzantium and the Islamic World. According to several Historical Sources, the Khazar Elite (and possibly Segments of the Population) converted to Judaism around the 8th Century.

Khazar Hypothesis – Main Claims

Proposed most famously by Arthur Koestler in his 1976 book The Thirteenth Tribe. HE Claimed that many Khazars converted to Judaism. After the Fall of Khazaria (~10th century), these Jewish Khazars migrated westward into Eastern Europe (e.g., Modern-Day Poland, Ukraine, Hungary). They became the Core of Ashkenazi Jewry, meaning today's Ashkenazi Jews are primarily Descendants of Khazars, not from the ancient Israelites.

Sources Supporting the Theory

Historical Sources:

Arab and Persian Historians (e.g., Al-Masudi, Ibn al-Faqih) mention Khazar Kings converting to Judaism. The Khazar Correspondence: A series of Letters between King Joseph of Khazaria and Hasdai ibn Shaprut, a Jewish Diplomat in Muslim Spain, describing the Royal Family's Conversion.

Popular Books:

Arthur Koestler (1976): Argued the theory could help reduce anti-Semitism by showing Jews are not racially distinct but Converts. Shlomo Sand (The Invention of the Jewish People, 2008): Used the Khazar theory to question the Narrative of Jewish Ethno-National Continuity.

Scientific and Genetic Evidence – Against the Theory

Modern Genetic Studies have largely refuted the idea that Ashkenazi Jews are primarily descended from Khazars:

Key Genetic Findings:

Ashkenazi Jews show strong Middle Eastern Genetic Ancestry, similar to Sephardi Jews, Druze, and Lebanese Populations. There is Evidence of Admixture with European Populations, especially Maternal Lineages (suggesting conversion of Local Women in Europe), but not Turkic or Central Asian Roots. No major Genetic Marker links Ashkenazi Jews to Turkic or Central Asian Populations, as would be expected if they were Khazar-Descended.

Studies:

Behar et al. (2003, 2010) – Showed Ashkenazi Jews cluster closely with other Jewish groups from the Middle East.

Ostrer (2012) – Confirmed common Middle Eastern Ancestry among Global Jewish Populations.

Need et al. (2009) – Genetic Proximity between Ashkenazi Jews and Levantine Populations.

Why the Theory Is Controversial

1. Political Implications

Often used in Anti-Zionist or Anti-Semitic Arguments to deny Jews' Ancestral Connection to the Land of Israel. Some Nationalist or Extremist Groups exploit the Theory to claim Jews have no Historical Right to claim Middle Eastern Origin.

2. Historical Limitations

While Elite Conversion is well-documented, there's no solid Evidence that the entire Khazar Population adopted Judaism or that they migrated en masse into Europe.

3. Academic Consensus

The majority of Historians and Geneticists reject the Khazar Hypothesis as a Primary Origin Theory for Ashkenazi Jews. However, some Influence or Admixture is possible, especially through Trade or Intermarriage.

Conclusion

The Khazar Hypothesis is a Historical Curiosity, not a Credible Explanation for the origin of most Ashkenazi Jews. Modern Scholarship supports a Levantine Origin for Jews, including Ashkenazi Populations, with Significant Historical Mixing in Europe.

WHERE THE KHAZAR PEOPLE ONCE CHRISTIAN BUT CONVERTED TO JUDAISM?

The Khazar Elite were not originally Jewish, and there is Historical Evidence suggesting that they converted to Judaism in the 8th or 9th Century AD. However, before this Conversion, the Khazars likely practiced a mix of Tengrism (a Central Asian Turkic/Mongolic Pagan Belief System involving Sky Worship),Shamanism. They had exposure to Christianity, Islam, and Judaism due to their Strategic Location between Byzantium and the Islamic Caliphates.

Christian Influence Before Judaism

Christianity entered Khazaria through the Byzantine Empire and Missionaries. There were periods of Christian Influence—especially in the Western Regions of the Khazar empire—due to close ties with Byzantium. Some Members of the Khazar Elite or Military may have converted to Christianity temporarily or used it diplomatically. However, Christianity never became the Dominant Religion of the State.

The Khazar King (or Khagan), Bulan, and his Royal Court are said to have adopted Judaism as their state religion around 740–800 AD. This was a strategic move—possibly to remain Neutral between the 2 Major Regional Superpowers: Christian Byzantium to the West and Muslim Caliphates to the South and East.

Sources:

"Khazar Correspondence": Letters between King Joseph of Khazaria and Hasdai ibn Shaprut, a Jewish statesman in Muslim Spain (~950 AD). King Joseph claims descent from Jewish Converts and recounts how a Khazar King embraced Judaism.

Muslim Historians like Ibn al-Faqih and Al-Masudi also mention the Jewish Khazar kings. Byzantine Sources (e.g., Theophanes) acknowledge Jewish presence and influence in Khazaria. Most Scholars believe that only the Ruling Elite and Aristocracy converted to Judaism. The General Population likely remained Religiously Diverse, with Pagans, Muslims, Christians, and Jews living side by side.

This puts to rest, ‘Who are the Jews claiming to be the Jews of the Bible in Israel’. They have taken upon themselves now the Biblical Birth-Right, but also with all its Blessings, also all of its Curses, etc. Thus, here is one’s Biblical Perspective regarding all this. The Restoration of Israel has been a Progress one. The Calamity of the 9th of Av came to haunt Israel once again after rejecting Jesus. As foretold by Jesus during His Triumphal Entry on Palm Saturday, Nisan 10, the House would leave to them ‘Desolate’. 

And no Stone would be left upon another as the 2nd Temple was destroyed by the Roman Prince.  Then the City would be surrounded and Destroyed. Then the Jews were Evicted from the Promised Land for the 2nd Time Around since the Babylonian one. But one has argued that Israel’s Restoration has taken place in that same Order, only in reverse. The 1948 Modern Rebirth of Israel was the Resorption of the Promised Land, at least its beginning.
 

Then in 1967 the City of Jerusalem was captured by the Jews, not since 70 AD. What is left is the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple. Realize that the Jewish only ‘See in Part’ as they have those Scales over their Eyes to not see, fully. It is in Ezekiel that foretells how the Jews were to be reconstituted, in a Process; Bones, Flesh, Breath back to Life, etc. But the Key is that they would be brought back into the Promised Land in Unbelief. This is the current and present Reality.
 

It is only through the 7-Year Tribulation Period that Israel will be ‘Refined through the Fire’, as in the Days of Nebuchadnezzar and the 3 Hebrew Boys being thrown alive into the Fiery Furnace, 7 Times hotter, etc. The Tribulation Period is what Israel still owes for its Unfaithfulness, not what the Church Age Believers in their Messiah have to pay for also. So, here are one’s Questions to the Notion that the Jews that are in Israel presently are not the Jews of the Bible.
 

1. If the Jews presently in Israel are not the Jews, reconstitute in Unbelief as Ezekiel prophesied, who are they and where are they in the Planet, presently?
 

2. If the Jews that re-established their Ancient Homeland into a Modern Sovereign Nation of the State of Israel, are not what the 2nd Diaspora, being the Roman one since 70 AD, when is that In-Gathering as promised in Amos going to be accomplished?

I will restore My people Israel from captivity; they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,” says the LORD your God. -Amos 2:14-15

_____________________
 

One must realize that Time is ‘Running Out’ for the Promises and Prophecy of the Bible to make the Bible True. If one bases the Crucifixion Year as a Pivotal Benchmark of this Timing, then the Final Four is expiring by 2026. One’s Point is that there is now no Time for a worldwide National In-Gathering of the Jews, if the ‘Jews’ that are in Israel presently not the Stock of Abraham. 

Sure, the majority of the Jews in Israel presently are of European Stock. But one must realize that the Jews have been pouring into the Promised Land since before World War 1. All throughout the Time leading-up to May 14, 1948, the Jews have been immigration back to Israel. Thus, if many People doubt that the Jews that are living in Modern Israel are not the Jews of the Bible, then why do 2 Billion Muslim affirm that they are? 

It is that the Modern Jews, in turn have mixed, to a degree with all the Nations that they were dispersed to. It is only that the Political Ruling Class has fixed itself to be the Politicians that have been elected to Office and ruled Israel. This Ruling Political Class has largely be from Eastern Europe, called Ashkenazi.
