Sifting the People of Israel – How gathering gets done

I bet it would be nice to be a descendent of Israel. Then you wouldn’t have to pass through the sieve and fall to the earth.

In the last days, Jehovah plans to spend a great deal of effort collecting the people of Israel from among the people of Earth. According to Amos 9:9, Jehovah is going to use a giant sieve and none from the house of Israel will pass through to fall upon the earth. 

  

Once they are safely segregated from the population, Jehovah will kill the unrighteous ones so their evil won’t contaminate the rest of the population. Once that’s done, the rest will be given a great mission. They will build cities, plant vineyards, drink wine, plant fruit trees, and eat fruit.

Here’s the thing though: if you remember, most of the children of Israel live inside the Earth.

If Jehovah’s job is done after the sieving and the wholesale slaughter, those who survive the process must have a huge task remaining. They need to find the entrance to the hollow earth and rejoin their brethren.

Moral: there is a good chance you will pass through the sieve and fall to the earth.

The Lost 10 Tribes – Oops, I seem to have misplaced something . . .

Speculating is SO much more fun than fact finding

After safely establishing themselves in Palestine, the people of Israel were very naughty and worshiped other gods; fancier and less real than Jehovah. Periodically Jehovah would cause really bad things to happen and the people would return to Him for a while before drifting away again. The ultimate culmination of this behavior pattern took place sometime about 720 BC. The Assyrians smashed the Kingdom of Israel and took all the Hebrews except the ones in the tribe of Judah away and resettled them elsewhere. These Hebrews never returned to Palestine. Dun dun dun . . .

But what happened to these people?

There is no general consensus. The evil sciencey types claim that the missing tribes thing never actually happened and was an invention of the Medieval Europeans so they could claim they were the true descendants of these lost tribes and therefore part of the “people of God.” They say there is no physical evidence and stuff. Pfft! As if God wouldn’t hide the evidence to force us to rely on faith anyway.

There are many different ethnic groups in the world that could be descended from one tribe or another, Ethiopian Jews, the Japanese, Cimmerians, the Brits, Iranian Jews, the Irish, Pakistanis, the Kurds, several different ethnic groups in India, and the indigenous people of the Americas. Lots of people (mostly Americans and Brits) believe the ten tribes were the “barbarian tribes” that spread across Europe, like after the fall of Rome and stuff.

Of course all these theories are wrong. The Lost Hebrews all live inside the Earth. You see, the Earth is hollow and the Lost Tribes have flourished down there. They have a very complex civilization and some population estimates place their number near a billion.

There is an entrance to the “Hollow Earth” near the North Pole and currently efforts are underway to find that entrance and enter into contact with these noble individuals. I understand that you may find this idea strange and you may not believe me. Luckily you don’t have to take my word for it. You can read all about it here.

Moral: The Earth is hollow and people live there. Disrespect at your peril.
