For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 12. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
EAT IN MODERATION…DON’T BE GREEDY
Ecclesiasticus 31:16-20 16. Eat as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour not, lest thou be hated. 17. Leave off first for manners’ sake; and be not unsatiable, lest thou offend. 18. When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all. 19. A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed. 20. Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man.
Children
You may have children or are planning to have children….
Psalms 127:3-5 3. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Ecclesiasticus 16:1-3 1. Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, neither delight in ungodly sons. 2. Though they multiply, rejoice not in them, except the fear of the Lord be with them. 3.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6. That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
Ephesians 6:1-2 1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
Ecclesiasticus 30:1-13 1. He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end. 2. He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance. 3. He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him. 4. Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. 5. While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful. 6. He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends. 7. He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry. 8. An horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful. 9. Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness. 10. Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end. 11. Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his follies. 12. Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart. 13. Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence unto thee.

1 Kings 2:2-3 I goe the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thy selfe a man.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Egyptian Laws of Maat
Noah had 3 sons. Shem, Japheth, and Ham. Ham is the progenitor of the Egyptians (Psalm 78:51).
Genesis 6:9-10 9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Verse 9 states that Noah was perfect and just and he walked with God which means he kept God’s laws and commandments (Psalms 19:7 & Romans 7:12). Noah taught God’s laws and commandments to all of his sons, including Ham, but only Shem‘s lineage retained and preserved God’s laws accurately. Ham carried on and taught a variation of God’s laws to his children and they were carried on throughout their generations. So this explains why the laws of Maat contain some of the commandments of God.
This verse further proves that since Noah was a preacher of righteousness, he undoubtedly taught his sons the laws of God.
2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness (Deuteronomy 6:25 & Luke 1:6 for righteousness), bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
Romans 8:33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
Esau
Genesis 25:21-25, 30 Esau Red
Hebrews 12:16 Esau sold his birthright
Amos 1:11 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

Every Creature Of God Is Good
1 Timothy 4:1-5 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
In the beginning, we were only given vegetation to eat. We were vegans in the beginning.
Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Leviticus 11:44-47 44 For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 45 For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: 47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.

Matthew 17:14-21 Howbeit, this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting.
Fear of the Lord and Judgement
Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Ecclesiasticus 2:15-17 They that feare the Lord, will not disobey his word
Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Foreknew
Romans 11:1-2 1I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbidde. For I also am an Israelite of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin. 2God hath not cast away his people which hee foreknew. Wote yee not what the Scripture saieth of Elias? how hee maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his sonne, that hee might bee the first borne amongst many brethren.
Amos 3:1-2 1Heare this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family, which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying; 2You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
Galatians 3:28
Jew nor Greek (precepts 2 Maccabees 6:6-9 We could not claim our nationality as Jew or our customs. If we did we would be put to death. 1 Corinthians 12:2 If only non-Israelites are always referred to as Gentiles, how are these people now longer Gentiles? They were never Gentiles according to the flesh. They were Gentiles through lifestyle)

We (the Israelites) are equal when it comes to salvation.
Genealogy
Genealogy tests are inaccurate because: Their results are based on bywords and false nationalities and each test provides different results.
Paul warned Timothy to teach men not to devote themselves to endless genealogies because they can be misleading, considering the fact that we, the Israelites, have been scattered throughout the world and have assimilated with the other nations.
1 Timothy 1:3-4 3As I urged you on my departure to Macedonia, you should stay on at Ephesus to instruct certain men not to teach false doctrines 4or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
Now our lineage and nationality are determined by our fathers (Numbers 1:18). But since we lost our family records, we primarily go by biblical prophecy and historical evidence.
And according to biblical prophecy, the Israelites would be cursed for breaking God’s commandments and those curses would continually act as a sign to identify the Israelites.
Deuteronomy 28:15-68
So because these curses apply to us and our people, we are the true Israelites.
