Hebrew Warriors: The Khazars

The "KHAZARS" became prominent in southern Russia and its neighborhood in the 600s to 900s CE. They were powerful with a far-reaching influence and well-developed civilization. They protected the Jews while giving full citizenship rights to Christians and Moslems who served them faithfully. The "KHAZARS" converted to Judaism and henceforth were Jewish. The Khazars were related to the Picts of Scotland and to other groups who settled in Scandinavia, France, and the British Isles. Proofs concerning the Israelite origins of the Khazars of necessity also do the same for the nations they were of kinship with. The Khazars were descended from a mixture of remnants of the Ten Tribes, Jewish refugees whose religious affiliation had blurred, and Gentile descendants of Gomer. A movement to return to Judaism began among them. Due to the uncertainty of their lineages the Rabbis declared them all Gentiles and then converted them to Judaism as the Bible and Tradition allowed them to do. Descendants of the Khazars may still be found among some Jewish communities but only as a minority element and indistinguishable from other Jews. Nevertheless, it is both important and of interest to know more about them. The Khazars are symbolic of the Israelite People in general. It should be worth our while to be aware of this. Part of the Scottish people descend from the Agathyrsi who were a branch of the Khazars.
