In a time when misinformation spreads like wildfire, one of the more disturbing claims that continues to surface—even among some in Christian circles—is that the Jews living in Israel today aren’t “real” Jews.
Dave Robbins of End Time Ministries tackled this head-on in a recent episode of The End Time Show titled, “Are the Jews in Israel Real?” And he made one thing abundantly clear:
“The answer backed by the Bible, history, archaeology and genetics — that is a clear yes.”

Let’s walk through the facts, using Robbins’ own words, to dismantle the falsehoods surrounding the identity of the Jewish people living in Israel today.
1. The Bible confirms it.
Robbins points to prophecy in Ezekiel 37 — the vision of dry bones coming to life — as a divine picture of Israel’s restoration after the Holocaust.
“Read Ezekiel 37. It’s a prophecy. Once you understand the timing of all of it and the boneyard was the Holocaust … then you understand the timing of all of it.”
He believes the Holocaust survivors and their descendants are part of the miraculous regathering of God’s people, just as Scripture foretold.
2. History documents it.
“The Jews … they had been sifted through the nations. They accepted their little sliver of land in the partition plan.”
After nearly 2,000 years of exile, the Jewish people returned to their ancestral homeland — a journey that began long before 1948. The formation of the modern state of Israel wasn’t a political accident; it was the continuation of a deeply historical and spiritual legacy.

3. Genetics proves it.
Robbins slams the Khazar theory — the claim that Ashkenazi Jews descended from a Turkic tribe — calling it what it is:
“This theory, however, has been thoroughly debunked by serious scholars. There is simply no credible historical or genetic evidence behind that.”
Instead, he highlights reputable genetic research:
“Jewish populations show significant shared Middle Eastern ancestry. These results … show a remarkable consistency with the historic formulation of the Jewish people as descending from ancient Hebrew and Israelites of the Levant.”
4. The global Jewish diaspora points back to the Middle East.
From Eastern Europe to North Africa, Jews share common ancestry rooted in the land of Israel:
“We do have what we have is overwhelming proof … whether they’re from Poland, Morocco, Iraq, Yemen … they share a common Middle Eastern ancestry.”
And that’s consistent with biblical lineage, as Robbins explains using Noah’s sons:
“Shem went right there into the Middle East region. That’s why they’re there — Shemites. They’re Semites.”
5. Prophecy is unfolding in real time.
Whether it’s DNA tests or modern geopolitical events, Robbins sees it all lining up with Scripture:
“The people that ended up in Israel today — they didn’t just end up there on accident.”
“God miraculously drew them back into that land.”
And Robbins has a message for those promoting replacement theology or denying Jewish legitimacy:
“You believe the Bible or you don’t.”
The Bottom Line
The claim that modern Jews in Israel are not real descendants of the ancient Israelites isn’t just absurd — it’s dangerous. It undermines the prophetic Word of God and dismisses historical suffering and spiritual triumph.
Robbins put it best:
“God has a destiny for Israel in the end time … We will be working with them … because that’s the plan of God.”
For Christians, standing with Israel isn’t about politics — it’s about Scripture, truth and honoring the unbroken covenant of God with His people.
