HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE!
Understanding the Bible will not make sense until you really understand who and what the word of God
says about the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacobs. The Old Testament is about the families of Abraham and
his people! We must know who each tribe is to understand what the Bible is saying.
In this day and age most people think the Jews are the only family of these three men. But we know that
Jacob had twelve sons and only one son was a Jew,[ Judah]. Over the thousands of years, the Jews claim to be
the only tribe of Israel, many have believed this to be true. But, reading the Bible we see that this is not the
case.
When my wife and I came into God’s Church in 1967, we learned about the House of Judah and the
House of Israel. We were taught that the children of Israel split into two different groups at the time of King
Solomon’s son, Rehoboam! (1 Kings 12:19). “So Israel rebelled against the house of David [House of Judah]
unto this day.” The House of Judah followed Rehobaom and the House of Israel, the 10 tribes of Israel followed
Jeroboam!
We were told that knowing who these two houses are– is the “Key of David” in Revelation 3:7 and in
Isaiah 22:22. This is the keys to understanding what the word of God was teaching, so we would know who and
what the Bible is talking about. Only with this knowledge can we really understand the truth of scripture. The
Old Testament is about the family of Abraham, Isaac and Jacobs family in relation to the rest of the nation in the
world!
Revelation. 3:7, “And to the angel of the Church in Philadelphia write: these thing saith HE THAT IS
HOLY, HE THAT IS TRUE, HE THAT HATH THE KEY OF DAVID, HE THAT OPENETH, AND HE NO
MAN SHUTTETH; AND SHUTTETH AND NO MAN OPENS.” And in Isaiah 22:22, “And the key of the
house of David will I lay upon His shoulder; so He shall open and none shall shut; and He shall shut and none
shall open.” It was with this understanding of the two different houses in the Children of Israel, that we can
understand the Bible!
Only knowing the difference of these two houses makes the Bible come alive to what is happening in
the world today. Today the term “white privilege” is being tossed about like it’s a sin to be a white Anglo,
Saxon people! And as we were taught that the children of Joseph and the other ten tribes of Israel are the
children of Isaac and Jacob!
Amos 3:1-3 says, “Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the
whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of
th earth: there I will punish you for all your iniquities.” And in Ezekiel 20:5, “And say to them, Thus says the
Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up Mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made
Myself known unto them in the land of Egypt when I lifted up Mine hand unto them, saying I am the Lord your
God.” Also see Deut.7:6, “For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee
to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”
Because the House of Israel has turned away from God, the Father and Jesus, the Christ His Son, we are
now being punished for all the sins we have committed.
The Children of Israel and Judah were supposed to be a Godly example to all nations for
good, but we have only shown them evil! We, the Church of God, In Truth are learning to obey
God’s Word and not the traditions of any man made commandments, that turn us from the truth!
Unless you know that all the Israelites are not Jews, than you cannot understand the true word
of God. ☜
