Out of Egypt: A Christian Analysis of Obama's Speech Part II

Exodus 33:1
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.'

The Bible says that God has promised the Holy Land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These descendants, today, are the Muslims, Christians, or Jews who have been associated with the Holy Land for thousands of years. Most Eastern European and Russian Jews are descendants of people who converted to Judaism starting from the 8th century. The promise does not apply to them - they are not descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Political Zionism is almost exclusively a movement by the Jews of Europe: But these Eastern European Jews have neither a racial nor an historic connection with Palestine. Their ancestors were not inhabitants of the Promised Land.' They are the direct descendants of the people of the Khazar Kingdom, which existed until the 12th century.

The Khazars were a non-Semitic, Turko-Finn, Mongolian tribal people who, about the 1st century A.D., the King of the Khazars adopted Judaism as the state religion, and the majority of the inhabitants joined him in the new allegiance. Before that date there was no such thing as a Khazar whose ancestors had come from the Holy Land.
