Possibly the Ark of the Covenant (sought by Indiana Jones, Hitler, and just about everyone else).  \n\nI didn't hear of it traveling to Israel, but I've been familiar with their claim for several years.

Read an article on this. It was rather interesting, it gave examples from both the New Testament and the Old as well as other Jewish texts.

I assume you refer to the 40 years they wandered through the desert prior to entering the promised land?\n\nTwo, as far as I can recall:  the true God and the "god" they asked Aaron to make for them in the form of a golden calf.\n\nFYI:  they weren't properly called "Israelites" at that time, but you're forgiven.

When Moses led the Children of Israel out of Egypt to the promised land. They were commanded to kill all the homosexual idol worshiping inhabitants before them.  They were instructed to not show mercy or spare anyone. Or in the latter days they would come back to hurt them.\n\nSo Israel went to Canna did not kill the homosexual worshipers of Baal and as you can see it has turned to their hurt.\n\n\nGo big Re Go

Interesting question. Since they were the ONLY two people in the world, where did everyone else come from?\nMythology is stupid isn't it? Now watch the christians make up stories and excuses for this lame book of bronze age jewish mythology...

Eduardo P: That special herb was marijuana. Jesus was a pot head, well all the messiahs of that time period was potheads. And YES, there were other Messiahs and that is why the existence of Jesus is so vague. There were just too many "Messiahs" and Jews getting crucified to keep track of.

Hey Jim, finally a good theological question from you, I knew you had it in you! Your starting to come over to the other side, I can just feel it. In all seriousness, there is no record the children of Israel coming out of Egypt washed their clothes, used deodorant, or brushed their teeth! After forty years, this would be a pretty ripe bunch, maybe that's why the walls of Jericho fell flat!,. what do you think?

Jews lived in the area of Israel for 4,ooo years.  Jews also bought a lot of land in Israel from the Arabs.  No land was stolen ny Jews.  Arabs started a war on the Jews and got their asses kicked.

They became the people we call Jews today.  They are the people of Israel.  aka Hebrews\n\nThe current Israelis were considered Gentiles in the Old Testament\n\nAt least that's how I understand it.

That's a pretty poor understanding of history.\n\nThe Jewish people are one of two Israel-ish people to emerge from the bronze age into Iron age Canaan. Current archaeology shows that the legendary kings, David and Solomon, were truly historical person who lived about three thousand years ago in the area. Some Bedouin-style tent sites show that the inhabitants of Judaea (at around this time) had stopped eating pork - the only bronze age people to do so. \n\nThe ancestors of the modern Jewish people were conquered by the Babylonians from 2700 to 2500 years ago - Israel first, then Judaea next. The Judaean fall - which is better attested to, appears to have been the less traumatic in fact, since the people survived the seventy year period of exile from their ancestral lands, and were restored to it in living memory of the elders.\n\nThe Jewish people would come to be occupied by the Romans 2,060 years ago, following a period of alliance between Rome and the Hasmoneans (the Maccabees.) Eventually, the Jews revolted, first 1,930 years ago, and then 1,870 years ago. The first revolt resulted in the destruction of Herod's temple. After the second revolution, the Romans razed Jerusalem and expelled the Jews from jerusalem.\n\nRome and its successors held Jerusalem for another 500 years, then were thrown out by Muslim conquerors. Conversion to Islam or Christianity played almost no role in the waning Jewish demographics of the land - Jews throughout history have been largely immune to forced conversion, as the Maccabean revolt and babylonian captivity showed. Constant war and persecution are what drove Jews from their own land.\n\nZionism is, like any other aboriginal land rights movement, the effort to restore land to its original and idigenous people. Despite the biblical motif, there is every reason to believe Jews are descended natively from people of Canaan, and are the only living people who can rightly claim to be ancestral to the land. It should be theirs, as the United Nations decreed it to be in 1948.\n\n"Palestine" is in fact Jordan. That is where self-identified Palestinians were meant to live in the 1948 agreements. As to what happens in the occupied lands of the 1967 war, that should be solved politically between all the stakeholders, and not resolved through strange claims about converting to Christianity or Islam.

yes there were. before and after. the old testament referred to them as cushites(ethiopia was known as cush). in the new testament phillip teaches and baptises an ethiopian. there were a lot of trade routes by land and sea and a lot of multi-cultural contact. at the pentacost where the holy spirit was given, there were people present from all over the known world(acts).

Yes,the Ethiopians really do have the Ark of the Covenant.I saw something about it being in their possession a few years ago on the Discovery Channel & read something about it in National Geographic magazine.\n\nAs to why the Vatican doesn't have it,what I read about it & what I watched on TV about it,that wasn't even addressed.My guess is that they weren't sure about its existence,since,up until a few years ago,many people(mainly archaelogists),didn't believe that it still existed after 586 B.C.

Europeans had an Alliance with the Jews way back during the time of the Crusaders.  They cooperate to control the European economy.

Hi  It goes back all way to Abraham. Both came from him. Abraham had promise from God for his decendents. Jews are the people of promise and someday the world will see this. But Jews have darker nights ahead before they see promise come to past.
