韓国人の古代イスラエル人の祖先：扶余（プヨ） 一般的に、現代の韓国人は古代扶余（プヨ＝富宇）の人々の末裔であると考えられています。扶余は、散在していた古代イスラエル人の集団で、朝鮮半島北部の満州に避難しました。彼らは1000年以上もの間、満州に居住していましたが、その後、初期の朝鮮王国に征服され、同化されました。現代の韓国人は、イスラエルの「失われた」部族の子孫の一部であると言えます。このテーマをはじめ、中国、韓国、日本の古代イスラエル人の遺産に関する興味深いテーマを多数取り上げています。私の著書には、以下の内容が記されています。 古代中国とヘブライ人のつながり； 古代中国と古代イスラエルを結びつける200以上の説得力のある相関関係。

Shàng Dì (上帝) (pronounced: shäng dē): This name means “Almighty God.” He is the ancient and modern Chinese God, also called Dì(帝) “God” (formal), Tiān(天) “God” (informal), Tiān Dì(天帝) “God,” Tiān shén(天神) “God of the spirits,” Tài Dì(太帝) “Great God,” Lǎo Tiān Yé (老天爺/爷) “Heavenly Father,” Huáng Tiān(皇天) “Lord God,” Tiān wáng(天王) “God King,” Mín Tiān(旻天) “Compassionate God,” Tiān zūn(天尊) “Honorable God,” and, in modern times, Tiān zhǔ(天主) “Lord God” and Shàng Tiān (上天) “God Above.” Some Jews and Christians consider Shàng Dì(上帝) “Almighty God” to be a Chinese term for Yahweh (יהוה) “Jehovah” (耶和華/华) and “Jesus Christ” (耶穌基督/耶稣基督). 

Shàng Tiān (上天) (pronounced: shäng tēĕn): This name means “God Above.” He is the ancient and modern Chinese God, also called Shàng Dì(上帝) “Almighty God,” Dì(帝) “God” (formal), Tiān(天) “God” (informal), Tiān Dì(天帝) “God,” Tiān shén(天神) “God of the spirits,” Tài Dì(太帝) “Great God,” Lǎo Tiān Yé (老天爺/爷) “Heavenly Father,” Huáng Tiān(皇天) “Lord God,” Tiān wáng(天王) “God King,” Mín Tiān(旻天) “Compassionate God,” Tiān zūn(天尊) “Honorable God,” and, in modern times, Tiān zhǔ(天主) “Lord God.” Some Jews and Christians consider Shàng Tiān(上天) “God Above” to be a Chinese term for Yahweh (יהוה) “Jehovah” (耶和華/华) and “Jesus Christ” (耶穌基督/耶稣基督).

Yamato (大和) (pronounced: yä·mä·tō): They were the ancient inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago, called by the Chinese the Wō (倭), and later called by the Japanese the Wō(和) or Yamato (大和). About 96% of the people in Japan today descend from the Yamato (大和). Their ancient name, language, and culture reveal their Israelite heritage. In Hebrew, Yamato is a combination of Ya(h) (יה), the shortened, poetic form of the Hebrew God Yahweh (יהוה) used to emphasize closeness, and umato (אמתו) which means “his people” or “his nation.” The “to” suffix indicates possession. Together Yamato in Hebrew means “The people of Yahweh (יהוה)” or “Yahweh’s (יהוה) nation.”

Did you know that the Chinese New Year (過/过年) began as the Hebrew Passover (逾越節/节)? Did you know that the red on the door posts and lintels of Chinese homes (now red banners) used to be the blood of the Passover Sacrifice? Did you know that Israelites (以色列人) settled in China shortly after the 10 Tribes were conquered and exiled by the Neo-Assyrians in year c. 722 BCE? Did you know that scattered Israelites also settled in Korea and Japan?

This work uncovers little-known evidence of a group of Israelites that settled in China in year c. 712 BCE. The Hebrew Passover (פסח) New Year combined with the Feast of Unleavened Bread (חג המצות) holiday became part of Chinese culture, and today it is known as Guò Nián (過/过年) “The Chinese New Year.” This is why there are certain traditions associated with the holiday, including the red on door posts and lintels and the firecrackers set off at midnight. These actions were once intended to cause the Destroyer, Nián (年), to Guò (過/过) “Passover,” “Guò Nián” (過/过年), the homes of Chinese families in order to spare their children. Anciently, the red on the Chinese homes was the blood of the Passover lamb (see Chapter 7).

The tradition was coined “The Chinese New Year” by foreigners who misinterpreted the observance and the Chinese character Nián (年). The foreigners incorrectly assumed that the tradition was referring to the “passover” of the year, instead of the “passover” of the Destroyer. Over the centuries, the Chinese had forgotten the original meaning of the tradition and their Israelite heritage. The “Chinese New Year” has actually never taken place at the “passover” (過/过) of the “year” (年) on the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. Today, it takes place in the spring during the second month. This is because the holiday evolved from the Hebrew Passover and takes place at the time of the ancient Hebrew New Year, not the Chinese New Year.
How this all came to be is a fascinating story. It is a story supported by primary source evidence from both the Chinese and the Israelites. This work includes and cites more than 1100 ancient primary sources! As you come to understand the larger historical picture, you will see the world in new and interesting ways. Things will make sense to you that didn’t before. This will be especially true if you are Asian or familiar with Asian culture and history. You will understand, in part, Asia’s Israelite heritage and that Hebrews played a much greater role in world history than was previously known.

You will also understand that the ancient belief systems of the Chinese and the Israelites were remarkably similar during overlapping periods of time. Many of the differences were only linguistic, and actual beliefs and practices were the same or very similar. This was true before Israelites settled in China, Korea, and Japan. Not only did the ancient Hebrews and Chinese view and approach their head God in the same way, with the same beliefs, attitudes, and practices, including using the same names, but they also had a very similar complex system of animal, food, and drink sacrifices with which they worshiped Him. Many minute details were identical. And not only did they perform these sacrifices in the same ways, but they also did so for the same reasons. Their belief systems were very similar, sharing traditions, holidays, ceremonies, cultural heroes, and histories. And there is so much more!

Let’s get into it!

Israel: “Yahweh (יהוה) hath made all things…” Proverbs 16:4. There is another common Chinese story concerning the origins of heaven and earth. It is the story of 盤古 Pángǔ. The most basic elements of the story are as follows: In the beginning heaven and earth were joined together in the shape of an egg. Pángǔ succeeded in separating the two. The lighter part ascended above and became the heavens, and the heavier part became the earth. There are several versions of how this occurred, but all speak of a separation. One narrative says that when Pángǔ died, his head transformed into the earth’s mountains, his eyes became the sun and moon, and his veins became the rivers and seas. The tale of Pángǔ, though touted as being an ancient legend, made its first appearance in about the year 300. Older Chinese traditions credit God (上帝天) with the creation of the heavens, earth, human beings, and all things.
