The question is "Just who are those today who claim to be Jews (of Judah) but are NOT?"

Take the time to learn the history of the House of Israel, those 10 "Lost" Tribes who were taken captive by the Assyrians and went north over the Caucasus Mountains (hence called Caucasians) and who settled in western Europe and later migrated as Pilgrims and sojourners to the Americas. You will also discover that most of Judah migrated to the west as well for it is written that only a small remnant of all of Judah returned to Jerusalem with Ezra and Nehemiah.

*Note: If you do not know who the so-called lost 10 tribes of the House of Israel are and where they dwell today, go to Pamphlet #1064 or Pamphlet #1020 under Table of Contents "Wisdom" on the this American Wisdom Series site.

Here again are Jesus Christ's own words to the only two churches who are knowledgeable of and teach about those who claim to be of our brother Judah but are NOT!

By the way! The seven churches Christ addresses in Rev. 2-3 are all present on the Lord's Day, which is the first day of the Millennium, the day the Lord returns. You see, it was the future time known as the "Lord's Day" (see note in Companion Bible) that John was taken to in the Spirit to witness the events of Revelation. Those events occurred before, on, and after that great day and he was told to give his witness in writing to the seven churches of today.

Rev. 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

[11] Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Rev. 2:9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

To the church of Philadelphia:

Rev. 3:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Matthew 23:31
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

[32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

[33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

[34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

[35] That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

First of all, if you look up the word "Jew" (Ioudaios in Greek) as used in the New Testament you will find it has two meanings: (1) A person who is actually of the tribe of Judah, and (2) A person who resides in the land of Judea. In other words, just as a resident of Texas would be called a Texan or Tex, likewise a resident of Judea would be called a Judean or Jew.

What we are now going to document from the pages of history is that there are truly many today who call themselves Jews, meaning of Judah, who are in fact NOT from any of the tribes of Israel, much less from our brother Judah. What we learn from this is simply that Judah has been greatly "infiltrated" with non-Judahites who are not merely gentiles but actually the bad "seed", i.e. the "tares"! And since our purpose here is to simply document that Judah is MIXED with non-Judahites we suggest that you do an independent study on your own knowing first that the Jews of our times fall into two main divisions: the Sephardim Jews and the Askenazim Jews.

In your research you will find what has been called by some "an embarrassment to historians" and even "the most cruel hoax which history has ever perpetuated". It is the history of the powerful pagan Khazar Empire which flourished from the seventh to the eleventh century A.D. You see, history shows that the entire nation of Khazars beginning with the Kagan (akin to Kajin), their ruler, and the ruling classes were converted to Judaism!! They later migrated to Poland and Russia and formed the cradle of Western Jewry! How about that?

The following are a few short excerpts taken from the subject titled "Khazars" in the " Encyclopedia Britannica", 1973, pgs. 328-330.

KHAZARS

"... Khazar civilization shows a fairly complex texture and their religious life raises more than one problem. Christianity, Islam, Judaism and some sort of "pagan" worship are all attested by sources. About 740 the Khazar ruler - and probably the greater part of the ruling classes - were converted to Judaism. The circumstances of their conversion remain obscure, the depth of the Jewish layer difficult to assess; the fact itself is, however, undisputed and unparalleled in the history of central Eurasia.

"The story of this conversion of the Khazars had a considerable and lasting impact on the western world. The first to record it was Druthmar of Aquitaine (9th century), but circumstances of the conversion are related in greater detail in various Hebrew documents such as the so-called "Khazar Correspondence." This consists  in a letter (c. 955) from the Spanish Jew Hasdai ibn Shaprut to the Khazar king and in a reply (of contested authenticity) sent by Joseph, king of the Khazars.

"Extensive excavations brought to light the remains of the Khazar fortress Sarkel, on the lower Don, built in the 9th century with the help of Greek architects. This site, which clearly revealed the mixed character of Khazar civilization, unfortunately had to be inundated during the construction of the Volga-Don canal."

You know what? It is now time to "pause for the cause" and learn the horticulture of figs and understand that there are both good figs and bad figs, as in edible figs and non-edible figs! Why? Because in Jeremiah 24 the prophet is going to see two baskets of figs set out in the land of Judea. Here is a sneak preview of what he saw: Jeremiah 24:2 "One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad." Then in our next and final study of the Parable of the Fig Tree we can document when and where the fig tree was set out, signaling as Christ said the beginning of the final generation when all these things He foretold us of (i.e. prophetic events) would come to pass!
