House of Israel U.K

Much like the challenges the returning Israelites faced, which is recorded in Nehemiah and Ezra for our admonition, we who remain in captivity face similar challenges, in our bid to discern truth in order to live it. Biblical Cultural Eisegesis, is the presupposing of the norms, values and customs of the nation of your captivity into the interpretation of scripture. Something the Israelite, who left captivity to Babylon/Persia are all to familiar with. The Israelites couldn’t discern what they heard, they violated the covenant by marrying and giving their children to marry those of the nations, their seed knew not the language, they defiled the priesthood and more. As a result, when they were caused to understood they wept, for their sin was great. We like them can be so mingled with the nations that we know not the meaning of what is written and therefore, misunderstand the one who inspired it.
