Are descendants of Abraham Israelites?
No, they are descendants from Africans. The Descendants of the original Hebrews are modern day Jews. Additionally, when the Assyrians conquered Israel many of them would have intermarried with other Arabic and Semitic people groups, as well as the two remain tribes in Judah. Contrary to what many teach the 10 lost tribes of Israel, were not technically lost, they were only lost in the sense that they inter-married and lost their unique ethnic identity. Any teaching that the 10 "lost" tribes of Israel either became the African race or the European race (The KKK teaches this), is racist propaganda that is intended to divide, discriminate, and oppress. Like racism itself these teachings have no basis in reality and no place in Christianity or in any part of the civilized world.

How does science look at Noah's Flood?
Was Joseph the interpreter of dreams a real Pharaoh?
Does the Book of Amos relate to us in the twenty-first century?
Another Answer:
The Bible is primarily a book about Israel and those countries which interact with it. Israel was all 12 tribes and not just Judah. Inspired Scripture from God does not necessitate the writer comprehending its full intent - consider Daniel.
With that said, Amos, like many other books of prophecy, have duality - meaning a warning for the general timeframe and then a warning for an end-time revelation (God says He never brings something about without letting mankind know it will come first). Amos gave a warning to Israel - 10 Northern Tribes about 30 years before their captivity by Assyria and their loss of national identity. Yet, they are not gone as Jesus sent His Apostles to the Lost Tribes of Israel and several historians noted these peoples - beginning with Josephus.
Knowing who they are today would bridge this Old Testament prophet to the 21st Century. In Ezekiel, God speaks of bringing His lost people Israel back to their brother Judah and uniting them once again in the Land of Canaan for ever. With the threads of other prophecies, it seems quite apparent that Amos' prophecies will fall again upon the modern peoples of the Lost Tribes of Israel and those nations that interact with them.
Has God promised that the motion that brings about the seasons shall not stop?
Genesis 8:22 says that as long as the Earth exists, then the seasons will not cease. But we also know that Creation itself has a finite lifespan, and will cease.
Some things are truly forever, such as God's righteousness and love.
Some are only around for as long as Creation exists: seasons, a chance to see someone come to Faith in Christ, pain and suffering for the believers.
How old was Abraham when he had his son Ishmael?
Of course, this is an improbable age for someone to have a son, but no more so than when Abraham and Sarah were 100 and 90 respectively when Isaac was born. There is literary evidence in the Bible itself as to how the oral storytellers arrived at these ages and the biblical lifespans of the Patriarchs.
Who is the Book of Proverbs addressed to?
Another Answer:
King Solomon, God's chosen representative to His people, wrote the Book of Proverbs (primarily his work written circa BC 970-930) with the purpose and theme found in Proverbs 1:1-7. This has his instruction to his people (then and all people afterwards) in wisdom, the preparation of life, and the ways of life in God's world.
Proverbs 1:7New International Version (NIV)7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Who was famous for interpreting dreams in the Old Testament?
The Book of Genesis describes Joseph as interpreting dreams, after he was taken to Egypt.
The Babylonian Exile has many genuine parallels to the Egyptian sojourn, so it is almost natural that someone would write a novel that drew on those parallels. The Book of Daniel is set in the Babylonian Exile and makes Daniel something of a latter-day Joseph. In this book, Daniel also interprets dreams.

Does the new testament link Jesus to the manna in Exodus and how?
Yes. God used manna('bread from heaven"Psalm 105:40) to miraculously feed and sustain the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16:15)(Numbers 11:7-9)
To see how Jesus is connected to this life saving food , his own words can help us.
When asked by people what they had to do to please God, Jesus said:
"The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
So they asked him, "What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"(Nehemiah 9:15)
Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.......Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day...."(John 6:28-40 NIV)
"I am the bread of life. YOUR forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness and yet died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever; and, for a fact, the bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world."(John 6:48-58 NIV)(1 Corinthians 10:1-4)
Did god create animals before he created fish and other sea creatures?
Yes
Another Answer:
No, but birds (part of animal classification) were also created on the 5th day while land creatures were begun on the 6th day:
Genesis 1:20-24New International Version (NIV)20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fifth day.
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.
