I watched the Huckabee show, which I recorded while I slept. I like Gov. Huckabee and I believe he would have been a good president.

However, he made a statement that I disagree with. He said there are about 16 million Jews in the world. The truth of the matter is that no human knows the total count. I suspect the 16 million number is, at best but 1/4 of the true number. My information comes from both the Bible and history. Moreover, the 16 million number contradicts God’s promises to Abraham and Jacob. If you read the promise, you will notice that it is far more than the 16 million.

Moreover, there were 2 1/2 tribes that remained east of the Jordan River that the Bible hardly speaks of after the captivity, which never went into captivity.

Finally, not all Jews returned to Israel after the captivity. My impression is that maybe it was but a third who returned, but it could have been much less. Those that remained in Pursia and migrated east, north and even into Europe. Some might have even gone to Spain or even England. Many might very well lost, or more accurately gave up their Jewish identity, perhaps it was God’s will. He did tell the Israelis that He would scatter them if they continued to follow foreign gods.

No need to be concerned, though, He knows where they all are. He knows them all by their names. When the time comes, they will be exactly where they should be. Then, should He decide to make them known, we all might be surprised, including me.
