How on earth could they possibly confirm DNA? They have to have a known, valid accurate standard to measure against. They don't. Not one living Jew can authentic his heritage.
Also, I know for a fact that many of those living in Israel, claiming to be Jews, Aren't. Many of these "Jews" found their religion when this new nation offered to welcome any Jew to the new homeland. I have met more than one of these folks, and they confirm this reality.
I am certain God has a plan and will carry it out. However, assigning any sort of "special" status to this country in the middle east based upon its name and language will simply disappoint.
History of the not too distant future will prove which perspective covered more data points/predicted more data points accurately.
Stay tuned.
In my 60 years, it’s always been a fairly sure bet to bet on the Bible’s literal fulfillment.
There are certain genetic markers that were found to be in common with most Jewish people (and some Samaritans) that are not found in other Gentile peoples. But the problem is that many of the Eastern Jews have a lot of Khazar blood, and don't look like the Western European Jews.
A VERY political subject, and one that almost most no one likes to look into. The Khazar were a Turkish people between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Caliph that decided to split the difference and become Jewish. There were already a large number of Jews living in the land, so this wasn't as surprising as it could have been. The claim that "All Jews in Israel are Khazars" is made by many islamics to say that Israel doesn't have a right to exist.
