Gerlinda,Patty RP, and Patty C,Your excellent articles (and others on Doves) concerning Zionism and the many branches of the Jewish tree that have evolved from the "whole house of Israel" (Jacob) are truly eye opening to those who have never studied the subject.It seems to me that the Lord wants us at this time (so many related posts on Doves) to "get up to speed" with a 21st century overview of this "whole house of Israel". He wants us to understand this topic so that when we read the many passages of scripture that relate to all the branches of the Jewish tree, we will be able to distinguish who (on this tree) He is referring to. And in doing so, we will more clearly discern the end times scenario.If one does not understand how this lineage puzzle was put together throughout the centuries then one will not know who the players are in the end times. Like the ten virgins (Patty C"s article) or the Jews that are called Zionist's (Gerlinda and Patty RP's articles).When one understands who all the Jewish players are from the "whole house of Israel" then foggy scripture verses become lucid.For those reading this who do not know who the "whole house of Israel" is.......it is all the descendents of Jacob from his time era until the present. There were 12 tribes representing Jacobs sons. Those 12 tribes split into two factions of two tribes (under Judah) and ten tribes who have been called the lost tribes that have been assimilated into the gentile world. Trying to follow these tribes through history until the present is beyond complicated so the above is the very abridged definition. But you can be sure God knows every person on this family tree that throughout the centuries consisted of billions of individuals.In this present time period there are many different belief systems within this "whole house of Israel". When one understands within this system who believes what, then the end times scripture becomes much easier to understand.Blessings and keep up your great posts.........John B
