When The Creator of the ends of the earth covenanted with Abraham, He included a promise to make Him a Father of Multitudes of Nations. The promise passed on to Joseph's son Ephraim included the imagery of a fruitful vine climbing over the wall. Many people refer to Jews as Israel, however the term Jew is really a deritive of the tribal name Judah - the main inhabitants of the Southern Kingdom of Israel - only a portion of the kindgom of Israel. This deritive was born when the Jews got pulled from their land and expelled to Babylon. The Northern Kingdom was dispersed earlier than the Jews and they too were given nicknames or titles, one of which was the name, the Sache - short for Isaac's sons. This term eventually became the term we know of as Saxon. Intrigued? To find out more check out these various blogs.
