PREFACE We live in a world today wherein there is no need for organized religion; i.e. “Churches,” “Pastors,” “Elders,” “Bishops,” Deacons,” Etc. The entire Christian world today has access to a variety of free Bible computer programs, such as E-Sword or Blue Letter Bible. IF one wants to pay for a fancy Bible program, one could purchase LOGOS and WORDSearch 12, which are now based on denominational beliefs, or any other such Bible program. Most of these programs are even available for your Tablet or Cell Phone. The point is that we, as Christians, have access to the original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. As we sit in anyone of these “Babylonian Churches,” we can, as the “Pastor” is preaching, look up the verse(s) which he is quoting and see what the true meaning of the word(s) is/are. By doing so, we start to learn the true inspired Word of God – not someone’s English translation based on their denomination’s traditions! However, today’s “Christians” are lazy; they believe that by saying the “Sinner’s Prayer” that anyone, including themselves, is/are “saved,” and only have to wait to be “raptured” out of this wicked world. In the meantime, “do not sin,” and if you do, “go to the altar,” and “confess your sin.” Also, do not forget to: 1. 2. 3. 4.

“Go out tracking;” “Tithe 10% of your gross income;” “Volunteer for anything and everything related to the Church;” and “Come to every service when the doors are open!”

Your “new life in Jesus Christ,” now revolves around “the Church” of your choice! Or does it? Is that what Yahshuah required of us in the New Testament, or was it something totally different? And, if you “sin,” how do you know that it is “sin,” and who exactly are you “sinning” against? When you “sin,” do you have to confess at an altar or to a specific person, or

only to your Father Yahweh, who is in Heaven? Is the Old Testament relevant today, and if so, how? Our ancestors experienced a Dark Age, wherein they were not allowed to have a personal copy of the Word of God. The Roman Catholic Church was the authority and interpreter of the Scriptures up until the Reformation, which really did not change much, except divide the “Protestants” into 1,000 different denominations from which you can choose from, as well as the Roman Church. But I digress…Our ancestors literally died to have a Bible or practice True Christianity – and they died violent deaths. Just read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. It will give you an idea of how horrendous these people were, who murdered Christians since the time of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Roman Emperors and Popes saw to it that True Christians or “People of The Way,” were hunted down, persecuted, and executed. But, this only made Christianity spread throughout the “known” world – everywhere True Israel went, there went the Gospel! However, today, we are facing a second Dark Age – only this time, it is VOLUNTARY! “Christians” would prefer to go their “Babylonian Church” to listen to their “Babylonian Pastor’s” interpretation of the Holy Writ, pay their dues, and leave, feeling good about themselves – never opening their Bible at home during the week to study IT for themselves – always relying on last “Sunday’s sermon” to get them through the week… I have to admit that I was one of those kinds of “Christians.” I have spent most of my life studying the “doctrines of men,” i.e. “the traditions of the elders,” as well as “the leaven of the Pharisees,” in one form or fashion. However, it was not until after I had finished my Ph.D. that a Bible verse got stuck in my head and just would not go away:

x

“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews (Judahites), and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” Yahshuah to the Ecclesia of Ephesus So, for about two weeks, I let that verse roll around in my head, and then I decided to find out just what Yahshuah meant. This is the fruit of my research…

INTRODUCTION Throughout my education in the Bible, I was always told that there were only four groups of people mentioned in the Bible: The “Jews,” The “Gentiles,” “Israel,” and The “Church.” I was also told that what the “Jews” were missing was Jesus Christ, and that the “Gentile Church” was missing The “Jewish Traditions,” and that at some point in the very near future, all of this would be reconciled once The “Gentile Church” was raptured prior to the “Tribulation,” i.e. the 70th Week of Daniel (the last seven years on Earth, in which we are now, according to some Eschatology experts since the Feast of Trumpets 2017 started the Seventh Millennium and the Day of the LORD1, after which “God” would “Deal with Israel and the Jews.” Notice how easy it is to interchange words??? But this was/is what 99.99% of Christianity has been taught since the early 20th Century in the Western Hemisphere, and this was my belief system, UNTIL… I decided to study for myself and let YAHWEH”S Holy Spirit teach me. In so doing: 1.

I read an article written by Edward Hine in 1876, entitled, “Seven-Eighths of the Bible Misunderstood.” (See Appendix I)

2.

I read an article written by Pastor Sheldon Emry, entitled, “An Open Letter To Any Minister Who Teaches ‘The Jews Are Israel.’” (See Appendix II)

3.

I downloaded “MySword Bible” App to my phone and tablet and made sure that I downloaded the King James Bible with Strong’s Concordance. By doing so, I could easily see the meanings of the original languages of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

4.

I purchased The English Hexapla, The Interlinear Bible, The Septuagint with Apocrypha, The Aramaic English New Testament, The Cepher, The Apostolic Bible Polyglot, as well as a variety of other original language Bibles.

5.

I purchased Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary Of The English Language.

6.

I purchased Walter Skeat’s Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language and Oxford’s Dictionary of English Etymology.

7.

I started reading books prior to the 20th Century, which are readily available in PDF form on the Internet. Use it while it’s still Free!

8.

I went down the “rabbit hole,” and started studying ALL of the so-called “taboo” subjects with regard to The Bible and History, that popped-up on the internet searches.

9.

I kept an open mind, and was willing to admit that I was wrong…

Caveat Number One, after having used these resources, these are the following groups of people that I believe are in the Bible, as well as that are in the world today (so far), as a result of my Bible study: 1.

Pre-Adamites, i.e. Those who have “the spirit of man” within them (See Genesis 1; Enoch 15; John 3; I Corinthians 2);

2.

Adamites, i.e. The sons of God, who have “The Spirit of God” within them, i.e. the Seed of the Woman (See Genesis 2, 3; John 3; I Corinthians 2);

3.

Cainites (Kanites), i.e. The sons of that “Wicked One,” who have that same evil spirit within them – Satanists by various group names, i.e. the Seed of the Serpent (See Genesis 3; John 8; I John 2);

4.

The House of Israel, i.e. The Ten “Lost” Tribes of Israel plus the majority of the Two Southern Tribes of The House of Judah, i.e. Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions (See Ezekiel 37:16);

5.

The House of Judah, i.e. The Two Tribes of Judah, which included Judah, Benjamin, and part of the Tribe of Levi, i.e. Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions (Ezekiel 37:16);

6.

The Ecclesia of Yahshuah;

7.

The Kingdom of Yahweh on Earth;

8.

The Throne of Yahweh on Earth;

9.

The Kingdom of Satan on Earth;

10.

The Throne of Satan on Earth;

11.

“Those who say they are Jews (Judahites), and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9; 3:9); as well as

12.

All of the above-mentioned people groups, who have mixed with each other. Because of this reason, “Except those days (The Great Tribulation) should be shortened, there should no flesh (sarx) be saved: but for the elect’s (Israel’s) sake, those days shall be shortened. Just as in the Days of Noe…More on this later.

So, who is who in this End Times’ mishmash of humanity? Who were they in the beginning? Can we trace them to the present using the genealogies of the Bible and Secular History? Yes, we can! But, did you know that our Lord and Saviour called them out for who they were and told them to their face that they would not be saved? Yes, there are actually people in this world that cannot be saved! Remember that the Potter does have control over the clay…See Isaiah 45 and Romans 9. Also, remember in John 17 that Jesus said, I pray not for the world (kosmos). I will prove to my audience (you) that there is only one YAHWEH, and that He is the LORD God of ISRAEL only AND that the Ecclesia of God comes out of ISRAEL only. According to the promises to Our Fathers (the heirs) Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel), the Israelite Nations would consist of “A Great Nation and a Company of Nations, as well as a Nation that would be great and be a multitude in midst of the earth” (Genesis 48). Does that sound like the “Israel” of today??? I will discuss the different promises to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah, as well as the Parable of the Fig Tree, and how they were and are being fulfilled. I will also discuss Those who say they are Jews (Judahites) and are not, but, are the synagogue of Satan, and who they are today. But, perhaps most importantly, I will discuss that word, “Church,” in the Bible, and the importance of “Mystery Babylon.”

Why did Yahshuah say, “Come out of her My People!”? Why did He say what He said in the first place? Here is Caveat Number Two, if you disagree with anything Yahshuah said, then it is you who have the problem… Are you ready? Here we go…

CHAPTER 1 WHAT IS ETYMOLOGY? According to John 1:1-14: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even of them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. According to John 8:31-32: Then said Jesus to those Jews (Judahites) which believed on Him, IF ye continue in My Word, then are ye My Disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. According to the Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology, the word, etymology, means, “origin, formation, and development (of a word); branch of grammar dealing with forms; sense of a word, original form, primary or basic word.”2 According to Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, the word, etymology, means: 1.

2.

That part of philology which explains the origin and derivation of words, with a view to ascertain their radical or primary signification. In grammar, etymology comprehends the various inflections and modifications of words, and shows how they are formed from their simple roots. The deduction of words from their originals; the analysis of compound words into their primitives.3

According to Ben Williams: The term, right, must mean something, and the term, wrong, must mean something. Truth must be objective if it is going to set us free (John 8:32). Word meanings must be standard and consistent…Our words must be based in reason and honesty, not left to individual whimsey, emotional preference, or serendipity inspired by an individual’s mood at any given time. Without standard of definitions, our words become completely meaningless and no one knows what the other person is talking about or thinking. In modern America, this is a huge problem. Today, the people in general are losing the ability to communicate or to know what is meant by their words. For example, the concepts of right and wrong, good and bad, male and female, are no longer of any use in America. Today’s culture is losing its ability to know anything definitively. While we are losing our words, we are losing our intelligence and our ability to reason anything at all.4 Some of the commonly used words that are in the Bible, have been improperly translated and do not match their true etymologies, thereby creating huge misunderstandings further created by today’s cultural take on these words. It is interesting to note, that most of this problem has never been addressed until recently. Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) stated: About the times of the End, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attentions to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.5 How True! How True!

CHAPTER 2 WHAT ARE TYPES IN THE BIBLE? The word, type, is the Greek word, tupos (Strong’s #G5179, which means, “A stamp or scar; a model for imitation.”)6 According to Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, a type is: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The mark of something; an emblem; that which represents something else. A sign; a symbol; a figure of something to come; as, Abraham’s sacrifice and the paschal lamb, were types of Christ. A model or form of a letter in metal or other hard material; used in printing. In medicine, the form or character of a disease, in regard to the intension and remission of fevers, pulses, etc.; the regular progress of a fever. In natural history, a general form, such as is common to the species of a genus, or the individuals of a species. A stamp or mark.7

According to The American Heritage Dictionary, a type is: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

A group of persons or things sharing common traits or characteristics that distinguish them as an identifiable group or class; kind or category; A person or thing having the features of a group or class; An example or model; embodiment; A person regarded as exemplifying a particular profession, rank, or social group; A figure, representation or symbol of something to come, as an even in the Old Testament that foreshadows another in the New Testament.8

For this discussion, a type is a person or thing that pre-figures or paints a picture of our coming Messiah, Yahshuah. 6.

Berube et al., The American Heritage Dictionary (Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1982), 1309.

Throughout the Pentateuch, there are types of Yahshuah; each testifying to an attribute of our Lord and Saviour, and prophesying to His First Coming, such as Isaac and Joseph, the Feasts of the LORD, the Offerings/Sacrifices, and the Tabernacle. Isaac, the son of the promise to Abraham and Sarah is a type of Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son of Yahweh and Mary. With regard to his birth/beginning, Isaac was: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

The long-awaited son (Genesis 17:19); The son of the promise (Genesis 17:19); He was known by name before his birth (Genesis 17:19); He is the product of a miracle of God (Genesis 17:19); He was born at a set time (Genesis 21:6); There was a great rejoicing when he was born (Genesis 21:6); He is the first born – the spiritual son of the promise (Genesis 22:2); His the son destined to inherit all that his Father has (Genesis 24:36; and He was circumcised on the eighth day (Genesis 21:4).

With regard to their sacrifice, Isaac and Jesus both: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Were the Only “Begotten” Sons (Genesis 22:2; John 3:16); Were to be offered up in the same place – Mt. Moriah/Golgotha (Genesis 22:2; Leviticus 1:11; 4:12; Isaiah 53:9); Rode a donkey to their sacrificial location (Genesis 22:4; Matthew 21:5); Made a special three-day journey (Genesis 22:4; Matthew 12:40); Commanded to their servants/disciples to “abide ye here” (Genesis 22:4; Matthew 26:42); Were the same age, i.e. 30/33 at the time of their sacrifice (Genesis 22:4); Were totally submitted to their Father’s will to be sacrificed (Genesis 22:5; Matthew 26:42); Advised the people they were with that they would return (Genesis 22:5; John 2:18-21; Hebrews 11:17-19); Carried their wood to the sacrificial location (Genesis 22:6; Luke 23:26); Were bound upon the wood (Genesis 22:9; John 19:18); Visited by angels before their sacrifice (Genesis 22:11; Luke 22:43); and Were provided a “Lamb” by God (Genesis 22:8, 13-14; John 1:29).

With regard to their brides, according to the Hebrew wedding model, the Ketubah (Betrothal) includes: 1.

The payment of the purchase price was made, as a result, the bride was set apart (sanctified);

8

2. 3. 4.

The bridegroom departed to his Father’s House to prepare room additions, while the bride prepared for His imminent return; There was/will be a surprise gathering, and the Huppah (Wedding) took/will take place; and There was/will be a seven-day marriage supper.9

So, the marriage was fulfilled by: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The covenant established (I Corinthians 11:25); The purchase price (I Corinthians 6:19-20); The bride set apart (Ephesians 5:25-27; I Corinthians 1:2; 6:11; Hebrews 10:10; 13:12); The covenant reminded (I Corinthians 11:25-26); The bridegroom departed for his Father’s House; and Upon his return, the bride was gathered unto him (I Thessalonians 4:16-17).10

With regard to Isaac’s situation, Abraham (Yahweh) commissioned Eleazer (Yahweh’s Holy Spirit) to gather a bride for Isaac (Yahshuah). Eleazer qualifies her by a well; she agrees to marry the bridegroom; he gives her gifts; then she joins her bridegroom at the well of La Hai Roi, which means “The well of the Living One who sees me.” As we need physical water to drink to exist, so too do we need spiritual water to exist! The same can be said for Yahweh’s Holy Spirit bringing us to Yahshuah to become a part of His Bride, Israel, not the Ecclesia. The Ecclesia is His Body; Israel is His Bride! (This will be discussed in more detail later.) Just like Isaac was personally not mentioned in the Bible for two chapters until he was united with his bride by the well of La Hai Roi, so also Yahshuah has been gone for almost 2,000 years, but like Isaac, who returned for his bride, so also, Yahshuah will return for His Bride, Israel. In other words, throughout the Centuries since the Ascension, Yahweh’s Spirit has gone out amongst His Son’s Kindred, Israel, looking for a Wife, for Him, who is pure and spotless. Are you ready??? Another major type of Jesus Christ was Jacob’s son, Joseph. 9. Chuck Missler, The Book of Genesis (Coeur D'Alene: Koinonia House, 2005), 217. 10. Ibid.

Joseph’s occupation was that of a shepherd (Genesis 37:2), just as Yahshuah is referred to as “The Good Shepherd” (John 10). Joseph was against evil and exposed it (Genesis 37:2, as Yahshuah did as well. Joseph was loved by his Father, Jacob (Genesis 37:3-4), as was Yahshuah by His Father, Yahweh (Matthew 3:17; 17:5). Joseph was hated by his brothers (Genesis 37:4), as was Yahshuah (John 1:11). Joseph was hated for his words (Genesis 37:8), as was Yahshuah (John 7:7). Joseph was envied by his brothers (Genesis 37:11), as was Yahshuah (Matthew 27:17-18). Joseph was sent by his Father, Jacob, to his brothers (Genesis 37:13); Yahshuah was sent by his Father, Yahweh, to his brethren, Israel (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38-40; 12:48-50; 17:21) Joseph was conspired against (Genesis 37:18), as was Jesus (Matthew (12:14). Joseph’s brothers/family did not believe his dreams (Genesis 37:19, 29); Yahshuah’s brethren did not believe His Words (Matthew 27:39-43). Joseph was stripped of his cloak (Genesis 37:23), as was Yahshuah (Matthew 27:27-28). Joseph was cast into a pit (Genesis 37:24); Yahshuah was thrown into the grave. Joseph was taken out of the pit alive (Genesis 37:28); Yahshuah was bodily resurrected from the tomb (pit) (Matthew 28:7). Joseph was betrayed by his brethren and sold for the price of a slave (Genesis 37:38); Yahshuah was betrayed by Judas and sold for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15). Judah suggested the idea of selling his brother (Genesis 27:31); the Greek name for Judah is Judas (Strong’s #G2455).11

According to Arthur W. Pink, in his Gleanings in Genesis, in Genesis 39: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Joseph became a servant (Genesis 39:1), as did Jesus (Philippians 2:6-7). Joseph was a prosperous servant (Genesis 39:2-3), as was Jesus (Isaiah 52:13: 53:10). Joseph’s master, Potipher, was pleased with him (Genesis 39:4), as Jesus’ Master, God, was always pleased with Him (John 8:39). Joseph was tempted by Potipher’s wife and ran from the sin (Genesis 39:7-12), while Jesus was tempted, but did not sin (Matthew 4:1-11). Joseph was falsely accused (Genesis 39:16-18), as was Jesus (Matthew 16:59-60). Joseph did not defend himself (Genesis 39:19), as did Jesus (Matthew 26:63; 27:14). Joseph was cast into prison even though he was innocent (Genesis 39:20), while Jesus was sentenced to death by crucifixion by Pilate, even though He was innocent (John 19:4, 6).

This is not an all-inclusive study of the comparisons between Joseph and Yahshuah but are rather highlights of their lives. Another type of Yahshuah can be found in the Feast Days of YAHWEH, i.e.: 1.

The Sabbath: The 7th Day of the Week (Exodus 23:3-4) represents God’s Day of Rest and was instituted by Yahweh in Exodus 16:23-40.

2.

The Passover (Pesach): The 14th of Nisan (Exodus 23:5-8) represents the Lamb of God’s Death on the Cross and was instituted by Yahweh in Leviticus 23:4-5. (FULFILLED)

3.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread (Hag Hamatzot): The 15th-21st of Nisan (Exodus 23:9-14) represents Yahshuah’s Death and Burial and was instituted by Yahweh in Leviticus 23:15-22. (FULFILLED)

The Seven Feasts of the LORD are key-way points on a road map in holy history. They tell the story of the main Covenant events between God and His Elect people as they occur here on the Earth and in time. The story begins back with the people God called in Old Testament times. And it extends right through to the Apocalyptic events John saw in vision and wrote about in the Book of Revelation. Indeed, the very next feast, the Feast of Trumpets is coming up in some future new moon of Tishrei to express its New Covenant fulfillment in holy history. The Feast of Trumpets will almost certainly be the one that will usher us into the 70th Week of Daniel and the final seven years of this present age. At the end of those seven years, the final Day of Atonement will come into its ultimate fulfillment as well. This will be the very last day of this age.13 The Seven Feasts will take us beyond the Apocalypse. The Seventh Feasts, the joyous Feast of Tabernacles, will come into its ultimate fulfillment as the true new age dawns. This will bring in the Millennium of Messiah, that glorious age to come. The deserts will bloom, and streams of waters will break forth upon the dry ground. God will camp out with mankind for 1,000 years as Emmanuel, “God with us”. And, as a shepherd feeds and tends his sheep, He will draw His people to Himself.14 Is there an 8th Feast? Might the Feast of Hanukkah, the festive winter season of the Eternal Light celebrate the glorification of all the saints from both this age and the 1,000-year Millennial Age to come? Our Apostle Paul gives us a glimpse of that in I Corinthians 15:24-28: ‘Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For He hath put all things under His feet. But, when He saith all things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him. And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.’15 The first four of the Seven Feasts of the LORD have already been fulfilled. They were fulfilled in spectacular fashion. They were fulfilled right on the auspicious Hebrew calendar dates on which they have been celebrated in times past, the same dates that will be celebrated forever more. The three Spring Feasts were fulfilled by Jesus our Saviour. And the Summer Feast of Pentecost was fulfilled as well. It was fulfilled by the Holy Spirit 2,000 years ago.16 Here is the situation so far: 13.

Passover: Fulfilled by Jesus /Yahshuah at His Crucifixion on Nisan 14 in the Spring of 32 A.D.

2.

Feast of Unleavened Bread: Fulfilled by Jesus/Yahshuah at His Burial in the Tomb on Nisan 15 in the Spring of 32 A.D.

Feast of First Fruits: Fulfilled by Jesus/Yahshuah at His Resurrection on Nisan 17 in the Spring of 32 A.D.

4.

Feast of Pentecost: Fulfilled by the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost on Sivan 7 in the Summer of 32 A.D.17

To note, Douglas W. Krieger agrees with this timeline; however, differs with regard to the year, as he notes that it should be 33 A.D.18 With regard to the remaining Three Fall Festivals, Finley states: There is a gap of 2,000 years or so, wherein the Light of Israel went forth into the nations for the Gentiles to be evangelized. Now, here come the next three Holy Days on the Hebrew calendar. They are awaiting fulfillment and are probably just up ahead…19 5.

The Feast of Trumpets: Unfulfilled as of yet. An epic event will unfold on the new moon of Tishrei on a future Jewish New Year.

6.

The Day of Atonement: Unfulfilled as of yet. Tishrei 10 seven years beyond that epic future Feast of Trumpets. This will be the final Day of Reckoning, for that year, for the Jubilee, and for the age. The Jewish nation and all Israel will be saved (Zechariah 12:813:1; Romans 11).20

And then comes The Day of The LORD: a. It is Doomsday for the wicked (Matthew 13:30). 17. Ibid. 18. Douglas W. Krieger, The Testimony of Jesus: Why the Rapture of the Church Matters (Sacramento, CA: TribNet Publications, 2015), 340. 19. Finley, The Seven Feasts. 20. Ibid.

The sign of the Son of Man will be seen in the heavens (Matthew 24:29-31). He will deliver His people at Jerusalem at His action at Armageddon (Joel 2:2832). He will deliver His people in exile in the magnificent Bozrah Deliverance (Micah 2:12-13). He will glorify all His Elect at the Resurrection-Rapture (I Thessalonians 4:15-17). They will be drawn out from Israel, from the Church, and from the Gentile nations.21 The Feast of Tabernacles: Unfulfilled as of yet. Tishrei 15 will come five days after that final epic Day of Atonement. This will mark the coming of Messiah to tabernacle with His Covenant people. Thus, begins the long awaited 1,000-year Millennium of Messiah.22

Another important type of Jesus Christ can be found with reference to the Tabernacle in Exodus 25-40. For example: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

The Door (Exodus 29:4) represents salvation and points to Jesus Christ as the Door to Eternal Life (Exodus 27:16; John 10:7-9). The Bronze Altar (Exodus 38:1-2) represents Regeneration and points to Jesus Christ as a Once-for-All Sin Offering (Hebrews 10:1-17). The Laver (Exodus 30:18) represents Purification and points to Jesus Christ as a Cleansing of All Sin (Ephesians 5:25-26; I John 1:9). The Golden Lampstand (Exodus 25:31) represents Illumination and points to Jesus Christ as the Light of the World (John 1:6-8; 8:12; Revelation 1:13). The Table of Showbread represents Spiritual Nourishments and points to Jesus Christ as the Bread of Life (John 6:35, 50-51). The Incense Altar represents Intercession and points to Jesus Christ as our Intercessor (Psalm 66:15; 141:2; Hebrews 7:25; Revelation 8:4). The Veil represents Access to God and points to Jesus Christ as our Mediator (Matthew 27:50-51; Hebrews 10:19-28). The Ark of the Covenant represents Representation and points to Jesus Christ’s Incarnation (John 1:14; 14:6).23

In the Book of Leviticus, the offerings and sacrifices are also types of Yahshuah: 1. 2.

Burnt Offering: Grain Offering:

No spot or blemish; Lamb of God Sinlessness, Perfection

3. 4. 5. 6.

Made peace with God for us on the Cross; Fellowship with believers Sin Offering: Substitutionary Sacrifice Trespass Offering: Atonement for damages and harm caused by sin Drink Offering: Christ’s Blood24 Peace Offering:

Notice that there are six offerings/sacrifices. Six is the number of man… With regard to the five special Levitical offerings, according to Arnold Fruchtenbaum: The Burnt Offering (Hebrew – olah – “to go up”) The name indicates that the whole offering went up in smoke. The underlying purpose of the burnt offering was to secure atonement for sins, but the immediate purpose was to express total dedication to God. Hence, the burnt offering is symbolic of the sanctification of the whole man in self-surrender to the LORD.25 The Grain Offering (Hebrew – korban minchah – “to give a present”) The name is used in the context of giving a gift to gain the favor of a superior. It was offered to God in thanksgiving and then given to the priest for the purpose of ministry. The grain offering represents the fruit of that sanctification.26 The Peace Offering (Hebrew – zebach shlamim – “sacrifices of peace”) There were three motivations for the peace offering: (1) A thanksgiving offering (Leviticus 7:12-15; 22:29) or an acknowledgement of God’s deliverance or blessing bestowed as an answer to prayer (Psalm 56:12-13; 107:22); (2) A votive offering, which involved making a vow (Leviticus 7:16); and (3) A freewill offering to express devotion of thanksgiving to God for some unexpected blessing (Leviticus 7:16; 22:17-20). This offering denotes the blossoming of the possession and enjoyment of saving grace.27 The Sin Offering (Hebrew – chattah – “expiation, missing the mark”) This was a mandatory offering for sins done unwittingly or unintentionally. The key result of the sin offering was forgiveness.28 Trespass Offering (Hebrew – asham – “the concept of guilt and moal, a violation”) This offering is often referred to as either a trespass offering, a reparation offering, or a guilt offering. The sin offering focused on the sin itself, while the trespass offering focuses our attention on the practice of sin. With this offering, the emphasis is on the harmful 24. Ibid., 125. 25.

effects of sin; therefore, it requires confession, compensation, and restitution for the wrong done.29 With regard to the Book of Numbers, the encampment of Israel (Numbers 2) was laid out in the form of a cross, (and also represented the faces of the Cherubim in Revelation 4:7), with the Levites (the Priests) in the center, i.e.: To the North: To the East: To the South: To the West:

The Tribes of Naphtali, Asher, and Dan (The Ox); The Tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun (The Eagle); The Tribes of Gad, Simeon, and Reuben (The Lion); and The Tribes of Benjamin, Manasseh, and Ephraim (The Man).30

The name, Jacob, (Strong’s #H3290, which in Hebrew is Ya’aqob, and means, “heelcatcher, i.e. supplanter).31 Jacob was the son of Isaac, and the grandson of Abraham (Genesis 25:19-26). He fathered 12 sons, who became the heads of the 12 Tribes of Israel (Exodus 1:1-7). Jacob was responsible for two main deceptions: 1. 2.

He tricked his brother, Esau, into selling his birthright for a pot of porridge (Genesis 25:27-34); and He tricked his Father, Isaac, into giving him the blessing of the firstborn, thereby taking it from his brother, Esau (Genesis 27:30-40).

According to Chuck Missler, Jacob is also a type of Israel as a Nation.32 That is a rather provocative statement! As a result of his trickery, Jacob began what is called, “the times of Jacob’s Trouble,” (spanning 20 years) wherein he fled from Esau, on the run, and always looking over his back 29. Ibid. 30.

(Genesis 27:41-46). Jacob was tricked by his uncle Laban, wherein Jacob spent seven years serving Laban for Rachel, but ended up with Leah, with whom he had: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Reuben (Genesis 29:32); Simeon (Genesis 29:33); Levi (Genesis 29:34); and Judah (Genesis 29:35).

Laban then tricked Jacob into another seven years for Rachel, but because Rachel was barren, he was given Rachel’s servant, Bilhah, with whom he had: 5. 6.

Dan (Genesis 30:5-6); and Naphtali (Genesis 30:7-8).

Then, Leah gave her servant, Zilpah, to Jacob, with whom he had: 7. 8.

Gad (Genesis 30:10-11); and Asher (Genesis 30:12-13).

Then, Jacob had two more sons and a daughter with Leah: 9. 10.

Issachar (Genesis 30:17-18); Zebulun (Genesis 30:19-20); and Dinah (Genesis 30:21).

Finally, after 14 years, Jacob got the girl of his dreams, Rachel with whom he had: 11. 12.

Joseph (Genesis 30:23-24); and Benjamin (Genesis 35:16-18).

For the rest of his “trouble,” Jacob spent six years tricking Laban out of cattle and goods, i.e. accumulating wealth. In other words, the time of Jacob’s “Trouble” was divided into three parts: 1. 2. 3.

Seven years for Leah; Seven more years for Rachel; and Six years of accumulating wealth.

So, when Jeremiah talks about “The Times of Jacob’s Trouble,” (Jeremiah 30:7), is there a 20-year time frame with regard to Israel today as well? When did it actually start? Did it start

with the affirmation of The Brit Amin by U.S. President Obama on March 22, 2013? (322 – Skull and Bones? Nice Date…) When Jacob was on his deathbed, he predicted the future of his twelve sons (Genesis 4849), who became the twelve tribes of Israel, whereby Jacob was predicting the future of The Nations of Israel, and ultimately The Saviour of Israel, Yahshuah. The most important of Jacob’s prophecies had to do with his son Judah, wherein the Messiah would arise: The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be (Genesis 49:10). In today’s world, one does not think of Jacob as a prophet, but he was.33 However, just as Yahweh brought Yahshuah through the tribe of Judah, the grandson of Isaac, the son of the Spirit, will Yahweh bring the Antichrist through one of the twelve princes of Ishmael, the son of the Flesh? Hence, an Islamic Antichrist perhaps? With regard to the Book of Deuteronomy, most scholars agree that this is: A re-statement of the Law for the new generation that had arisen during the wilderness journey. They were about to enter the Promised Land. In order to enjoy God’s blessing there, they must know the Law and obey It.34 In Deuteronomy 4, God outlines prophetic events with regard to Israel: Deuteronomy 4:25: Deuteronomy 4:25: Deuteronomy 4:26: Deuteronomy 4:27: Deuteronomy 4:28: Deuteronomy 4:29: Deuteronomy 4:30:

Israel and her descendants would grow old in the land. Israel would act corruptly and slip in idolatry. Israel would be forced out of the land. The LORD would scatter (them) among the peoples. Israel would be given over to idolatry during their wanderings. While dispersed among the peoples, Israel would seek and find The LORD when they searched for Him with all their hearts. There would come a time of Tribulation, said to occur “in the latter days,” during which time they would turn to The LORD.35

This land was promised to their Fathers. Deuteronomy 1:7-8; 6:10, 23; 9:5; 11:21; 19:8; 24:4; 26:15; 28:11; 30:4, 20; 31:7, 20, 23; 34:4. This land is the gift of God to the children of Israel. Deuteronomy 3:18; 4:21; 5:16; 6:23; 8:10; 9:5-6; 11:17, 31; 12:10; 15:4, 7; 19:1; 25:15, 19; 26:1-2, 9-10; 27:2; 28:8, 11; 32:49, 52. This land has a promise of blessing from God. Deuteronomy 1:25; 4:21-22; 6:3; 8:7-10; 11:11-12, 17; 26:9, 15; 27:3; 30:9; 31:20; 33:13. This land He promised has specific borders. Deuteronomy 2:5, 9, 19, 37. The land is be marked by obedience to God. Deuteronomy 4:1, 5, 14; 5:16, 31, 33; 6:1; 8:1, 11; 12:1, 17; 16:20; 18:9; 24:4; 25:15; 30:16; 31:13; 32:46-47. God will remove His people from the land if they are disobedient. Deuteronomy 4:25-26; 28:18, 21, 24, 33, 52, 63; 29:22, 24, 27-28. God predicts Israel’s disobedience. Deuteronomy 30:18; 31:16, 20-21. God predicts vengeance on those who conquer the land. Deuteronomy 32:41-43. In the Millennium, the Israelites will obey God and possess all the land. Deuteronomy 28:1; 30:4.36

Moses concludes the Book of Deuteronomy with both blessings and cursings on the people of Israel. In conclusion, David Limbaugh, in his new book, sums up Jesus Christ in the Old Testament: There are many different ways that Christ is revealed in the Old Testament, including by His titles; His work as Creator; His role as sustainer of God’s creation; His appearances (known as “Christophanies”); the “types” and “portraits” of persons, institutions, events, and ceremonies pointing to Him; the Old Testament offices of prophet, priest, and king that prefigure His perfect work to come; God’s promises, especially His major covenants that find their ultimate fulfillment in Him; and the many Messianic prophecies.37 36.

And now that Etymologies and Types have been discussed, our attention will turn toward the Law of First Mention with regard to YAHWEH…

20

CHAPTER 3 WHAT IS THE LAW OF FIRST MENTION? The Law of First Mention is the principle in the interpretation of Scripture, which states that the first mention or occurrence of a subject in Scripture establishes an unchangeable pattern, with that subject remaining unchanged in the mind of God throughout Scripture.38 (By the way, YAHWEH is used some 7,000 times in the Old Testament alone.)39 According to Oxford’s Dictionary of English Etymology, the word, of, is: A preposition expressing removal, separation, derivation, origin, source, spring of action, point of departure in time, cause, agent, instrument, material. OE.40 With regard to the Law of First Mention, here is a complete list from the Old Testament of those things which are of God’s: Genesis 1:2: Genesis 1:27: Genesis 5:1: Genesis 6:2: Genesis 20:11: Genesis 21:17: Genesis 28:12: Genesis 28:17: Genesis 33:10: Genesis 35:5: Genesis 49:24: Genesis 50:17: Genesis 50:19:

Keep this mind as we go forward. Let’s switch gears to Bible Prophecy…

CHAPTER 4 HOW SHOULD BIBLE PROPHECY BE INTERPRETED? According to Steve Gregg, author of Revelation: Four Views, Revised and Updated,41 there are four major approaches to the Book of Revelation and Bible Prophecy in general: 1.

The Futurist Approach: This asserts that the majority of the prophecies of Revelation have never yet been fulfilled and await future fulfillment. Futurist interpreters usually apply everything after Chapter 4 to a relatively brief period before the return of Christ.42

2.

The Historicist Approach: This is the classical Protestant interpretation of the Book of Revelation, sees the Book of Revelation as a pre-written record of the course of history from the time of John to the end of the world. Fulfillment is thus considered to be in progress at present and has been unfolding for nearly two thousand years.43

3.

The Preterist Approach: This approach views the fulfillment of Revelation’s prophecies as having occurred already, in what is now the ancient past, not long after the author’s own time. Thus, the fulfillment was future from the point of view of the inspired author, but it is past from our vantage point in history. Some Preterists believe that the final chapters of Revelation look forward to the Second Coming of Christ. Others think that everything in the Book reaches its culmination in the past (70 A.D.).44

4.

The Idealist Approach: This approach does not attempt to find individual fulfillments of the visions, but takes revelation to be a great drama depicting transcendent spiritual realities, such as the perennial conflict between Christ and Satan, between the saints and the antiChristian world powers, the heavenly vindication of the martyrs and the final victory of Christ and His Saints. Fulfillment is seen either as entirely spiritual or as recurrent, finding representative expression in various historical events throughout the age, rather than in one-time, specific fulfillments. The prophecy is thus rendered applicable to Christians in any age.45

33

Likewise, according to Steve Gregg, there are two minor approaches: 1.

The Dramatic Approach: This approach vies the Book of Revelation as being composed like a Greek drama, divisible into seven acts, with each of these divided into seven scenes. This view of Revelation has received greatest attention among those embracing the Idealist Approach to Revelation and is not actually a fifth approach. Because it is a view only of the structural composition of the Book, and not of the meaning of its prophecies, the Dramatic Approach to understanding Revelation would, theoretically, be compatible with any of the four major approaches.46

2.

The Literary-Analytical Approach: a.

According to Morris Ashcraft: The Literary-Analytical Approach begins with the assumption that Revelation was composed from different sources, which must be identified and dealt with accordingly. This approach is concerned with the interpolations, dislocations, sources and their evaluation. A common fault in this method is that the interpreter often stops short of the major question, What meaning did John intend to convey?47

b.

According to Steve Gregg: More to the point, this approach raises questions as to whether the Book is really the record of prophetic visions given to the seer, as it represents itself to be, or merely the literary production of a skilled editor, who disingenuously claimed inspiration for his work in order to bolster its credibility.48

The Futurist Approach: According to the Futurist Approach, everything from Chapters 4-22 is yet future, with John representing the Rapture of the Church in Revelation 4:1. Futurism is further divided by their belief in the Millennium and the timing of the Rapture. There are three views as to the return of Yahshuah: 1. 2. 3.

Premillennial; Postmillennial; and Amillennial.

46. Ibid. 47. Ibid., 14. 48. Ibid.

34

According to Robert G. Clouse, Premillennialism: Affirms that the Lord’s return will be followed by a period of peace and righteousness before the end of the world, during which Christ will reign as King in person. Usually Premillennarians have been taught that the Return of Christ will be preceded by certain signs such as the regathering of Israel to their ancient homeland, the preaching of the Gospel to all nations, a great apostasy, wars, famine, earthquakes, the appearance of the Antichrist, and a Great Tribulation. Details concerning this tribulation are sought in the middle chapters of Revelation.49 According to Robert G. Clouse, Postmillennialism: Is the belief that the Kingdom of God is extended through Christian preaching and teaching as a result of which the world will be Christianized and will enjoy a long period of peace and righteousness. The new age will not be essentially different from the present, and it emerges gradually as an ever-larger share as the world’s population is converted to Christianity. During this age, the Church assumes a greater importance, and many social, economic, and educational problems are solved. The period closes with the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment.50 Finally, according to Robert G. Clouse, Amillennialism: Believes that the Bible does not predict a period of universal peace and righteousness before the end of the world. Instead, good and evil will coexist until the Second Coming of Christ when the dead will be raised, and the last judgment held. The so-called Millennium is seen as symbol of the present age of the Church.51 This is concurred by John Noe, President of the Prophecy Reformation Institute in his article entitled, “A Preterist-Idealist Understanding of Revelation.”52

Noe states that,

“Dispensational premillennialism is known for its insistence that the words of prophecy be interpreted literally whenever this does not lead to absurdity.”53 Therefore, they maintain a 49. Ibid., 9–10. 50. Ibid., 10. 51. Ibid. 52. John Noe, An Exegetical Basis, 767–96. 53. Ibid., 771.

35

“futuristic interpretation of Revelation.”54 But that historic premillennialists “combine the futurist and preterist views, stipulating that it had a message for John’s own day and that it also represents the consummation of redemptive history.”55 Since most premillennialists date the writing of the Book of Revelation to 95-96 A.D.,56 “they believe its focus is not on a contemporary fulfillment at all, but on the last period(s) of world history,”57 and “speaks of the personal return of Christ to earth.”58 They state that this view “best accords with the principle of literal interpretation.”59 Based upon Revelation 1:19, which states, “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;” “They trifurcate the prophecy as the past vision of the glorified Christ (Chapter 1, especially verses 11-18)…the present condition of the churches (Chapters 2-3)…and as the third part, the future happenings (Chapters 4-22).60 This is the Premillennial View of Futurism. With regard to the “Rapture,” according to Don Steward of Calvary Chapel, in his You Tube presentation, “The Rapture of the Church,” he states that there are eight views of the Rapture:61 1.

There is no such thing as the Rapture in the Bible; it is only symbolic of something.

2.

There is a Partial Rapture Theory from the 19th Century in which only ‘mature believers’ are raptured.

3.

There is a Before, During, and After Theory of the 70th Week of Daniel.

4.

There is the Pre-Tribulation View, which takes place prior to the Tribulation (usually noted in Revelation 4:1).

5.

There is the Mid-Tribulation View, which takes place at the mid-point of the Tribulation (3 ½ year point).

6.

There is the Pre-Wrath View, which states that the Rapture will occur prior to the ‘Wrath of God’ in Revelation 16 (5 ½ year point).

7.

There is the Post-Tribulation View, which states that the Rapture will occur after the Tribulation (7-year point).

8.

There is a Rapture, but we don’t know enough about it as to the timing.

Stewart ends his presentation with this: “The Church Age started suddenly and dramatically on Pentecost and it will end suddenly and dramatically in the very near future.”62 Most Futurists, like Don Stewart, hold to the Pre-Tribulation View of the Rapture. However, Futurists also take things symbolically. Steve Gregg states that “everyone takes the Beast of Revelation symbolically, but Futurists take more things literally, then congratulate themselves that they have taken the higher moral ground than anyone else.”63 In other words, Futurists take the Book of Revelation literally, even though they ultimately take it symbolically. The question then becomes, “Is it literal?” To which, the Bible does not say “literally.” Gregg states that: The downside to this that pastors build their whole ministry on this view, but what if they are wrong? How many people become disillusioned and leave Christianity? Even though they keep getting it wrong; it doesn’t matter – they state that whatever happens will happen! The attitude of the believer should be: ‘How does it affect my life?’ The believer should be following Jesus no matter what! And, if the believer is following Jesus, should he/she 62. Ibid. 63. Steve Gregg, “The Four Views, Part 2,” You Tube, February 15, 2015, accessed August 19, 2016, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQKgiacCuH4.

37

be doing anything different? Futurists have the view that their view has to be right and that everyone has to know. Unfortunately, that is the wrong viewpoint to have. So, why is a whole ministry built on a view about predictions of the future, which are most likely not to be any more correct than any of the others? Ultimately, the believer should just live his/her life for Jesus and whatever happens, happens – a true believer will recognize what’s going on in the world according to the Biblical signs! 64 According to Who’s Who in Bible Prophecy,65 Futurism is widely held by many modernday respected and influential teachers, such as J.R. Church,66 Kevin Clarkson,67 David Cloud,68 Jimmy De Young,69 Lambert Dolphin,70 Daymond Duck,71 Arnold Fruchtenbaum,72 John Hagee,73 64.

there are articles on the Internet, which state that Tim LaHaye is a 33rd degree Free Mason, and that he uses Masonic symbols on all of his materials, and that Hal Lindsey is really a Jesuit in disguise.93 According to Steve Gregg, these teachers: Were trained in Futurism, by teachers from denominations who officially held this doctrine, and they were taught by teachers from denominations who were trained in it by teachers who officially held this doctrine called Dispensationalism, and that view arose in 1830.94 According to Thomas Ice, Dispensationalism is: A system of theology (not a hermeneutical approach) that believes the Bible teaches God’s single plan for history is accomplished through Israel and the church for the purpose of His glorification. This theology arises from a consistent use of grammatical-historical hermeneutic, also known as literal interpretation.95 According to Steve Gregg, the downside to Futurism is that: Pastors build their whole ministry on this view, but what if they are wrong? How many people become disillusioned and leave Christianity? These pastors keep getting it wrong! They don’t understand that whatever happens, will happen!96 However, where did this view come from and why? Well, all throughout Babylonian Church History, the Reformers held to the traditional view of Historicism, wherein the Pope/Papacy was the Antichrist system. The Historicist view was the Protestant view for so long. Why was this called the Protestant view? Because the Historicist view taught/teaches that the Papacy is the Beast of Revelation 13. Because all of the Reformers were all Historicists and they all taught that the Papacy/Pope were/are the Beast, this made the Pope look really bad! 93.

Enter the Counter-Reformation movement by the Pope. On August 15, 1534, Ignatius Loyola founded a secretive Catholic order called the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits. The Jesuits definitely have a dark history of intrigue and sedition, and that is why they were expelled from: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Portugal in 1759; France in 1764; Spain in 1767; Naples in 1767; and Russia in 1820.

However, Jesuit priests have been known throughout history as “the most wicked political arm of the Roman Catholic Church.”97 In 1545, at the Council of Trent, the Catholic Church gave the Jesuits: The specific assignment of destroying Protestantism and bringing people back to the Mother Church. This was to be done not only through the Inquisition and through torture, but also through theology.98 The Jesuits were also commissioned by the Pope: To develop a new interpretation of Scripture that would counteract the Protestant application of the Bible’s Antichrist prophecies to the Roman Catholic Church.99 Enter Spanish Jesuit Priest Francisco de Ribera, S.J. (1537-1591) and Italian Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, S.J. (1542-1621). In 1585, de Ribera published a lengthy commentary on the Book of Revelation entitled, In Sacrum Beati Joannis Apostoli, & Evangelistiae Apocalypsin Commentarij, in which he claimed that the first few chapters of the Book applied to ancient Pagan Rome, and the rest of Revelation would take place sometime in the far future, during the final 97.

three-and-one-half literal years immediately prior to the final coming of Yahshuah to this earth. At about the same time, Italian Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, S.J. published a book with similar claims (Disputationes de Controversiis Christianae Fidei or Polemic Lectures Concerning the Disputed Points of the Christian Belief Against the Heretics of this Time). This was the beginning of the Futurist Approach and according to Steve Gregg: Everyone who studies this view knows this. No Protestant would touch this View for 200 to 300 years because they knew it was invented to protect the Pope and the Papacy.100 So, how did Futurism spread? In 1826, Dr. Samuel Roffey Maitland (1792-1866), the librarian to the Archbishop of Canterbury (the Archbishop of Canterbury is to the Church of England what the Pope is to the Roman Catholic Church), read Francisco de Ribera’s book and published a widely-read book attacking the Reformation and supporting de Ribera’s idea of a future one-man Antichrist. So, after Dr. Maitland’s book became a hit, came James H. Todd, “a professor of Hebrews at the University of Dublin, who accepted the futuristic ideas of Maitland, publishing his own supportive pamphlets and books.101 Steve Wohlberg then states that: The much-respected Scottish Presbyterian minister, Edward Irving (1792-1834), the acknowledged forerunner of both the Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements, turned to the prophecies and eventually accepted the one-man Antichrist idea of Maitland, Bellarmine, and Ribera, yet he went a step further. Somewhere around 1830, Edward Irving began to teach the unique idea of a two-phase being a secret rapture prior to the rise of the Antichrist. Where he got this idea is a matter of much dispute.102 Steve Gregg states that John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) of the Plymouth Brethren: 100. Gregg, The Four Views. 101. Wohlberg, Left Behind By. 102. Ibid.

42

The Father of Modern Dispensationalism in 1830 incorporated this view as part of his Dispensational system, which was then carried throughout England and into America initially, and then wherever American missionaries went.103 Once this view reached America, Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921) incorporated this into his famous Scofield Reference Bible in 1909. Wohlberg states that: This Bible became so popular in American Protestant Bible schools that it was necessary to print literally millions of copies. This, combined with the Moody Bible Institute and the Dallas Theological Seminary strong support of the teachings of John Nelson Darby, have also continued to fuel Futurism’s growth.104 Because of the link between de Ribera, Bellarmine, Maitland, Todd, Irving, Darby, and Scofield, “Futurism is now the most dominant, popular view of the Book of Revelation.105 This is a fact based upon Babylonian Church History. This is not controversial; it’s universally known. Steve Gregg states the following disadvantages with Futurism:106 1.

It makes the Book of Revelation 90% irrelevant to Christians. IF Christians are going to be raptured in Revelation 4:1, THEN the rest of the Book you might as well not worry about. It’s irrelevant to us!

2.

It makes is irrelevant to the original readers. Why write an Epistle to First Century Christians who are suffering now about things thousands of years into the future? (That’s really comforting! Thanks!)

3.

It does not adequately recognize the symbolic character of the Apocalyptic literature.

Futurists have a really bad time with the following statements:107 1.

Revelation 1:1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servant things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John.

2.

Revelation 1:3: Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written herein: for the time is at hand.

3.

Revelation 1:19: Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.

4.

Revelation 22:10: And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. This is in contrast to Daniel 12:4 which states, But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. John is told not to seal the Book of Revelation because it is for your generation; whereas, Daniel is told to seal his Book because it is not for his generation. With regard to John’s prophecy, it’s coming NOW; it’s HERE! There is urgency in the Book of Revelation.

So, what do Futurists do with these verses? According to Steve Gregg: They claim that a day to the Lord is as a 1,000-years…IF the Book were written to God, THEN you can use God’s timing. However, this was/is written to people! People don’t think of 2,000 years as a ‘short time.’ Some people state that ‘shortly’ means ‘quickly’ and that when it does happen, it will happen quickly. There’s a strong emphasis on the ‘immediacy’ of the fulfillment given through the Book.108 The Historicist Approach: The Historicist Approach states that the Book of Revelation covers all of Church History from John’s day to the Second Coming of Christ. This view holds to the principle of a year for a day, i.e. the number of days equals the number of years. So, where is this theory in the Bible? 1.

Based on Numbers 13:25: They (The children of Israel, i.e. The spies) returned from searching the land (Canaan) after forty days. Because the children of Israel ultimately rebelled against YAHWEH, according to Numbers 14:33-34, YAHWEH decreed that, And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

108. Ibid.

44

2.

Based on Ezekiel 4:4-8: YAHWEH told Ezekiel to Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the House of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the House of Israel. And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the House of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.

3.

Based on Luke 13:32-33: Yahshuah confirmed this day for a year principle of Numbers 14:33-34 and Ezekiel 4:4-8 by describing his THREE-YEAR MINISTRY AT TODAY, TOMORROW, and the THIRD DAY.

4.

Also, if we compare Revelation 12:6 with 12:14: We find that a thousand two hundred and three score days are the same as a TIME, and TIMES, and HALF A TIME, showing that THREE-AND-A-HALFTIMES equals 1,260 DAYS. Thus, each TIME must be 360 DAYS. Furthermore, Revelation 13:5 speaks of FORTY and TWO MONTHS which also adds up to 1,260 DAYS or THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS if we use 30 DAY MONTHS. Revelation 13:5 can be compared to Daniel 7:25, TIME and TIMES and THE DIVIDING OF TIME, since both verses are describing the same event (see also Daniel 9:27; 12:7; and Revelation 11:2). Thus, we know that SEVEN TIMES PUNISHMENT (Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28, 33) equals SEVEN TIMES 360 or 2,520 DAYS.

5.

Also, the Hebrew-Aramaic weights used in Babylon define the punishment: A SHEKEL is TWENTY GERAHS (Exodus 30:12; Numbers 3:47), and GERAHS are the least common multiple of MENES (1,000 GERAHS each), TEKELS (or SHEKELS – 20 GERAHS each) and UPHARSINS (or PERES – 500 GERAHS each) (Daniel 5:25-28), the words MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN = 1,000, 1,000, 20, 500 – NUMBERED, NUMBERED, WEIGHED, DIVIDED = TOTAL 2,520 GERAHS OF PUNISHMENT WHEN ISRAEL WOULD BE DIVIDED.

YAHWEH decreed a day for a year prophetically for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, as well as for BABYLON. But, there was something extra added to the day for a year. YAHWEH would judge His people, ISRAEL, and her enemies, SEVEN TIMES! 45

6.

Based on Leviticus 26:18: YAHWEH stated: And IF ye (ISRAEL) will not yet for all this hearken unto ME, THEN I WILL PUNISH YOU SEVEN TIMES MORE FOR YOUR SINS.

7.

Based on Leviticus 26:21: YAHWEH stated: And IF ye will walk contrary unto ME, and will not hearken unto ME; I WILL BRING SEVEN TIMES MORE PLAGUES UPON YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR SINS.

8.

Based on Leviticus 26:24: YAHWEH stated: THEN WILL I ALSO WALK CONTRARY UNTO YOU, AND WILL PUNISH YOU YET SEVEN TIMES FOR YOUR SINS.

9.

Based on Leviticus 26:28: YAHWEH stated: THEN I WILL WALK CONTRARY TO YOU ALSO IN FURY; AND I, EVEN I, WILL CHASTISE YOU SEVEN TIMES FOR YOUR SINS.

10.

Based on Leviticus 26:33: YAHWEH stated: AND I WILL SCATTER YOU AMONG THE HEATHEN (GOY = NATIONS), AND YOUR LAND SHALL BE DESOLATE, AND YOUR CITIES WASTE.

11.

Based on Jeremiah 25:12-14: YAHWEH stated: And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I WILL PUNISH THE KING OF BABYLON, AND THAT NATION SAITH THE LORD, FOR THEIR INIQUITY, AND THE LAND OF THE CHALDEANS, AND WILL MAKE IT PERPETUAL DESOLATIONS. AND I WILL BRING UPON THAT LAND ALL MY WORDS WHICH I HAVE PRONOUNCED AGAINST IT, EVEN ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK, WHICH JEREMIAH HATH PROPHESIED AGAINST ALL THE NATIONS. FOR MANY NATIONS AND GREAT KINGS SHALL SERVE THEMSELVES OF THEM ALSO: AND I WILL RECOMPENSE THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS, AND ACCORDING TO THE WORKDS OF THEIR OWN HANDS.

So, instead of SEVEN TIMES being SEVEN YEARS of PUNISHMENT, we have 2,520 YEARS PUNISHMENT OF ISRAEL.

Let us count Israel’s SEVEN TIMES

PUNISHMENT, which coincides with the TIMES OF THE GENTILES, when wild beast gentile nations would rule the world (Luke 21). (When crossing from B.C. to A.D. dates, it is necessary to add a year to the figure, since there is no year ‘0’.)

46

In 931 B.C., Jeroboam, a type of Antichrist who instituted idol worship statewide in Israel, separated from the House of David and established the worship of the golden calves about 930 B.C. (I Kings 12:25-29). Now, 2,520 years from 931 brings us to 1589 + 1 = 1590. The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 began the decline of Catholicism or idol worship. The Puritans fled from Britain to Holland in 1593. In 745 B.C., Tiglath-Pileser (called Put in the Bible – II Kings 15:19; I Chronicles 5:26), the king of Assyria, began the first invasion against Israel in the reign of Menahem (II Kings 15:1920). Putnam’s Dictionary of Events states: 745 B.C. Accession of Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria, who wages war against Chaldea, Syria, and the Kingdom of Israel. Langer states: Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria (745-727) forced Menahem (744 B.C.) and Pekahiah (738 B.C.) to pay tribute. From 745 B.C., we add 2,520 YEARS to get to 1775 + 1 = 1776 A.D., the very year that the American Declaration of Independence was signed and Americans no longer paid tribute. In 740 B.C., Tiglath-Pileser began the second invasion against Israel in the reign of Pekah (II Kings 15:20). He invaded the Northern region of the land (Naphtali & Galilee – II Kings 15:29), coming down South to the level of the Sea of Galilee, where he turned Eastwards and invaded the Eastern portion of Israel, Trans-Jordania, which reached Southward nearly to the level of the Dead Sea. ‘The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh’ were brought ‘unto Hala, and Habor, and hara, and to the River Gozan, unto this day’ (I Chronicles 5:26). So, they didn’t return to Palestine after the 70 years of captivity of Judah since I Chronicles was written after that event. From 740 B.C., we add 2,520 YEARS to get to 1780 + 1 = 1781 A.D. This was the year that the Articles of Confederation were ratified and adopted by the original 13 states making the

47

first Constitution of the United States. Americans (Manasseh) were now united! They had been divided exactly 2,520 years before. Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, also which rapidly brought the war to a close soon thereafter. AFTER TWO DAYS (2,000 YEARS), HE WILL REVIVE US; IN THE THIRD DAY (520 YEARS), HE WILL RAISE US UP! (Hosea 6:2) THAT IS 2,520 YEARS! According to Isaiah 9:1, these first two invasions of Israel were fulfilled: at the first, he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali (the first invasion) and afterwards, he did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations (the second invasion). From 721 to 718 B.C., Shalmaneser, whose Commander-in-Chief, was Sargon, who besieged the reign of Hoshea (II Kings 17:3-5). In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes (II Kings 17:6). This invasion terminated the Kingdom of Israel. 27,280 Israelites were led captive (See Sargon’s Assyrian inscription). But, Sargon didn’t remove the entire nation of Israelites (See II Kings 18:9-12; II Chronicles 30-31 and 34; cp. Hosea 1:4 with 1:6). From 721 B.C., we add 2,520 YEARS to get to 1799 + 1 = 1800 A.D. Samaria, the capital city of the Northern Kingdom, was destroyed in 721 B.C., and 2,520 YEARS later saw the building of Washington D.C. in 1800. It was this very year (October 1, 1800) that Spain gave France the Louisiana Territory. The United States under President Thomas Jefferson purchased this territory in 1803 from Napoleon (718 B.C. + 2,520 YEARS). Thomas Jefferson bought 827,987 square miles of land from France for about $15 million. That’s just under 4 cents per acre. Israel’s land had been lost to Assyria

48

exactly 2,520 YEARS before. Just as Reuben anciently lost the birthright, so again in 1803, he sold to Joseph the birthright of rich farmland. This very year, 1800, was also when England, Scotland, and Ireland, united to become “Great Britain.” These Ephraimites and Judahites had been divided in 721 B.C. because the Assyrians left the Kingdom of Judah alone and only invaded the Kingdom of Israel. Except for “gleaning grapes” from the Ten Tribes (Isaiah 17:6; II Chronicles 34:9), “There was none left, but the Tribe (Kingdom) of Judah only. The Act of Union of Great Britain and Ireland occurred January 1, 1801, to become the United Kingdom ruled over by a descendant of King David. England’s war ended with France in 1801 after General Abercrombie defeated the French Army at Alexandria. From 721 to 718 B.C., Israel was besieged by Shalmaneser of Assyria, and taken captive. Ezekiel, over a century later in 593 B.C. (Ezekiel 1:2), prophesied that this captivity would last 390 YEARS (Ezekiel 4:3-5), which brings us to 331 B.C., when Medo-Persia was conquered by Alexander the Great, who defeated Darius first at Issus and then at Arbela and Gaugamela – all the same year. The House of Israel gained its freedom as a Scythian nation after 390 YEARS of slavery to successive gentile powers and started migrating to Scotland. We read that “Sennacherib, King of Assyria” came “up against all the fenced cities of JUDAH and took them” (II Kings 18:13; Isaiah 36:1). There were 46 fortified cities from which 200,150 Jews were taken captive around 700 B.C. Now, if we add 2,520 YEARS to 700 B.C., we come to 1820 A.D. + 1 = 1821 A.D., when there was a fiscal union and amalgamation of the currencies of Great Britain and Ireland. Scotland and Northern Ireland are partly JUDAHITE. Also, Jutes had “settled in Kent and the Isle of Wright together with adjacent parts of Hampshire”

49

(15:609). In 677 B.C., Esar-Haddon, son of Sennacherib, invaded Judah (II Chronicles 33:11), and the remnant of Israel when they were ruled by an Assyrian governor and replaced them with Samaritans (II Kings 17:24; Ezra 4:2). The fulfillment for Judah came in 1844 when the Sultan of Turkey was forced by the Powers to give religious liberty to the Jews 2,520 YEARS from the overthrow of Judah. For Israel, this invasion fulfilled Hosea 1:6 that said, I will no more have mercy upon the House of Israel, but I will utterly take them away. As Isaiah 7:8 states, Within three score and five years shall Ephraim be broken that it be not a people. This was uttered about 742 B.C., making 677 B.C. 65 Years later (cp. Hosea 1:4). There was left in the nest “none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped (Isaiah 10:14). From 677 B.C., we add 2,520 YEARS to get 1843 + 1 = 1844. One year later, in 1845, the United States annexed the Texas Territory, which included large parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma, as well as what is known as Texas today. In 1846, The Pacific Northwest was given to The United States by Great Britain via Treaty. In 1848, The United States acquired California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and more from Mexico through Cession. In 1853, The United States bought a relatively small slice of land known as the “Gadsden Purchase.” Then, in 1867, Alaska was purchased from Russia for $7.2 Million, which was two cents per acre. In 1898, Hawaii was annexed. Just as 677 B.C. started a slow snowballing cumulative collapse of Israel which took some time to accomplish, so The United States began a slow rise to great wealth beginning in 1844.

In ancient times, it took years to besiege cities, transport armies and

populations, and plunder and remove booty and take possession of the land. In summation: A Biblical year is 360 Days. A Day for A Year. 7 Times Judgment by YAHWEH: 360 DAYS x 7 =

2,520 YEARS

Sound Familiar?

50

360 DAYS x 3.5 =

1,260 YEARS

Sound Familiar?

From a Historicist Viewpoint, prophecy is always viewed in years, not days. So, let’s see what happens… The House of Israel was taken away captive by the Assyrians from 745-721 B.C. IF we add 2,520 YEARS to 745 B.C., THEN we would come to 1775 + 1 = 1776 A.D. What happened in 1776?

The Birth of The United States of America (Manasseh)

IF we add 2,520 YEARS to 721 B.C., THEN we would come to 1799 + 1 = 1800 A.D. What happened in 1800?

The Birth of Great Britain (Ephraim)

The House of Judah was taken away captive by the Babylonians in 604 B.C. IF we add 2,520 YEARS to 604 B.C., THEN we would come to 1916 + 1 = 1917 A.D. What happened in 1917?

The Balfour Agreement was issued. General Allenby took Jerusalem, which came under British (Ephraim) Mandate

The Kingdom of Babylon took The House of Judah captive in 604 B.C. IF we add 2,520 YEARS to 604 B.C., THEN we would come to 1916 + 1 = 1917 A.D. What happened in 1917?

Mystery Babylon came on the scene The Jewish Bolshevik Revolution took over Christian Russia killing over 66 Million Christians during their Revolution

(More on Mystery Babylon later…) Which Approach do you think should be followed? The Preterist Approach: The word, Preterist, means fulfilled in the past. Most Preterists argue that Bible prophecy was fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., while some have applied it to the Fall of Rome in 476 A.D. This concurred by John Noe: Most Preterists believe that the Book of Revelation speaks to particular circumstances and events that were fulfilled within the lifetime of the Book’s original First Century audience 51

and that there is nothing in it about our future. Rather, it was concerned fully and exclusively with the First Century and not with subsequent periods. This view places its date of writing prior to A.D. 70 – most likely, between A.D. 63 and 68 – and its soon fulfillment in A.D. 70 in conjunction with Christ’s divine visitation, coming, and return in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.109 According to Steve Gregg, some of the advantages to the Preterist Approach are:110 1.

It makes really good sense of those verses the Futurists have a hard time dealing with – IF it were written during Nero’s reign. IF so, then all of the Book of Revelation is attributed to Nero, which fulfills a literal interpretation of the Book of Revelation. (Futurists take the most non-literal view with regard to time statements, which are found at the beginning and ending of the Book.)

2.

The Preterists take the beginning and the ending literally and the middle part symbolically; while the Futurists do the opposite. They take the beginning and the ending symbolically and the middle as literally as possible.

3.

IF the Preterist View is true, THEN it is relevant to the original reader.

4.

It also agrees impressively with Josephus’ writings of The War of the Jews, in which Josephus was a Jewish general who participated in the wars. He was captured by the Romans and surrendered after seeing how strong they were in order to save Jewish lives. He remembered what Jeremiah had said, “Surrender, you live, if not, you die.” Josephus became an interpreter for Titus the Roman General. Because of this, the Jews still to this day think of Josephus as a traitor. With the Romans, Josephus was able to write Antiquities of the Jews and Wars of the Jews. With that being said, if it were not for Josephus’ works, we would not know what truly happened to the Jews.

Likewise, some of the disadvantages are:111 1.

It is totally vulnerable to the date of writing, i.e. IF the Book of Revelation were written during the time of Diocletian, THEN the prophecies are worthless. The Preterist View only works IF the Book were written during the time of Nero, i.e. before 70 A.D. So, the Preterist View depends 100% upon the early date of the writing. (This is the only view which is vulnerable on this point.)

2.

It is said that the Preterist View had a similar beginning as the Future View. Spanish Jesuit Priest Luis de Alcasar (1554-1613) published a book titled, Vestigatio Arcani Sensus in Apocalypsi, in which he proposed that all of the Book

109. Noe, An Exegetical Basis, 767. 110. Gregg, The Four Views. 111. Ibid.

52

of Revelation applies to the era of pagan Rome and to the first six centuries of Christianity. According to Pastor W.J. Mencarow: The question becomes, Why would two Jesuit priests put forth two different eschatological views, when both had to receive permission from the Pope himself to write their books. Well, the answer is that the Pope did not care that the books he authorized directly contradicted each other. All he cared about was the one thing they had in common: The divine supremacy of the Papal office. Here is the key: IF the Book of Revelation is about events during ancient Roman rule (as taught by Preterist De Alcazar) or events at the very end of time (as taught by the Futurists De Ribera and Bellarmine), then it cannon, as the Protestant Reformers said, teach that the Beast of Revelation is the Roman Catholic Church and the Antichrist is the Papacy.112 So, there are two interpretations of the Book of Revelation that have been put forth by the Jesuits. Are they correct and can one trust them? NO, because they are the fruit of a very BAD TREE, i.e. The Jesuits! The Idealistic Approach: The Idealistic Approach a/k/a The Spiritual View, uses the allegorical method to interpret the Book of Revelation, which was introduced by Origin (185-254 A.D.) and made prominent by Augustine (354-420 A.D.). According to this Approach, the events of the Book of Revelation are not tied to specific historical events. The other views try to assign a time of fulfillment of the prophecies either in the future or in the past or spread out over the whole age of the Church Era. According to Steve Gregg:113 There are certain timeless truths that are always true at all times and these visions are simply symbolic descriptions of those truths, such as: 1.

The Sovereignty of God as the main theme of the Book of Revelation. That is a truth all the time as depicted by these visions.

112. W. J. Mencarow, The Book of Revelation (Unpublished Notes). 113. Gregg, The Four Views.

53

2.

The Spiritual Warfare between Jesus Christ (The Church) and Satan. That is an ongoing thing for all time. That is a timeless reality.

3.

The Victory of Christ over the powers of evil. This is always true.

4.

The vindication of the martyrs in Heaven. This is always true as well.

In other words: The Book of Revelation would be like us taking the Book of Pilgrim’s Progress, which is the most widely read book in the world besides the Bible. Pilgrim’s Progress was written by John Bunyan, a Puritan, while he was in jail (for preaching the Gospel in England outside of the Church). All of the characters in Pilgrim’s Progress represent some spiritual truth. This is an incredibly profound allegory of the Life of Christ – much like the Book of Revelation.114 The Idealists Approach looks for the spiritual lesson behind everything. The advantage to this view is that: It avoids the harmonizing of events with anything historical either future or past. Therefore, it doesn’t need to be specific with anything connecting to history because it doesn’t claim any such connections.115 The disadvantage is that: In Revelation 1:1, it says that this is a prophecy which must shortly come to pass. This requires actual events, things that must take place, i.e. it is a Book of prophecy of things that are about to happen.116 In conclusion, each Approach, and combinations thereof, are held by Christians everywhere. All of the Approaches have been around for quite some time now and all of them have smart, Godly people who hold them. For example, in America, the most popular Approach is the Futuristic Approach; while in Canada and England, the most popular view is the Idealistic 114. Ibid. 115. Ibid. 116. Ibid.

54

Approach. This Author has personally found that Ecclesias outside of the Western World hold to the Historicist Approach. With all that being said, there is more than enough proof that YAHWEH works using multiple fulfillments with regard to Bible prophecy in general. Of course, there are the specific prophecies that have been or will be fulfilled, but we, as His Creation, cannot put the Creator in the box! He is outside of TIME… It is my honest opinion that the correct view of the Book of Revelation overall is the Historicist Approach. However, with that being said, even though the Jesuits came up with the Preterist and Futurist Views, and Origin and Augustine spiritualized the Bible, this Author can see their points of view as well. Remember, The House of Israel, The House of Judah, and the Kingdom of Babylon were judged from a Historicist View. Will YAHWEH yet judge them again SEVEN TIMES in DAYS (2,520/1,260)? Or rather are we at the end? According to S. Douglas Woodward’s Rebooting the Bible,117 The King James Version was created using the Masoretic Text (MT), and therefore, was corrupted long before today. It happened nineteen centuries ago. This corruption was intentional. It was carried out by those rabbis who survived the destruction of Herod’s Temple. Roman authorities granted them permission to create an academy in the town of Jamnia (Javneh), on the coast near Tel Aviv. There, changes were made to the original Old Testament, that focused on two areas: First, the Messianic passages of the Old Testament; and secondly, two chronologies in Genesis, Chapter 5 and 11…The rabbis, headed by Rabbi Akiba ben Yosef, sought to recreate Judaism while at the same time quashing the rival cult known as Christianity. Rabbinic authorities decided to obscure specific passages that supported Christian evangelists who preached Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah.118 Woodward continues: At Jamnia, these rabbis created an alternate Vorlage, or original scripture, from which a new Greek translation would be created that contradicted the Greek Septuagint, hoping to 117. S. Douglas Woodward, Rebooting the Bible (Oklahoma City, OK: Faith Happens Book, LLC., 2018). 118. Ibid., xii.

replace this Greek Bible used by Christian apostles and teachers, especially for the Jewish communities globally. After three centuries had elapsed, and with some help from the Christian patrons Origen and later Jerome, the rabbis ultimately succeeded, at least to a meaningful extent. This would lead to one Latin and three new Greek versions based upon this Vorlage. The “revised” Vorlage differed from the original Bible, compiled (so tradition tells us) by Ezra and then safeguarded by Nehemiah and the other courageous Jews (Judahites) that returned from the Babylonian Empire in the Fifth Century B.C. (circa 445 B.C.) This new rabbinic (corrupted) Hebrew Vorlage was created about 100 A.D., while the later Greek versions were originated before the end of the Second Century A.D., and the Latin Vulgate, approximately 400 A.D. The Septuagint’s Pentateuch was finished 380 years before the rabbinic Vorlage and 680 years before the Vulgate.119 You see, the Septuagint had been translated in Alexandria, Egypt, from the authentic Hebrew Vorlage brought from Jerusalem for the translation. Why did the Hebrew Vorlage differ? For the rabbis, the prophecies concerning the Messiah as translated in the Septuagint easily applied to Jesus. They rejected Jesus was the Messiah. Nevertheless, Christians believed it was obvious that Jesus had fulfilled the prophecies of Moses, David, Isaiah, and the other ancient prophets. Additionally, because the tradition of the Jews held that the Messiah would arrive near the time Jesus appeared on the scene, the timing of the Messiah’s arrival had to be altered so that Jesus would not be identified as the Christ. Thus, over one thousand five hundred years (1,500) were cut from the original Genesis genealogies/chronologies. And another 130 years or so were deleted by the rabbis in the timing laid out in Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 Weeks of Years. Their efforts amount to a conspiracy to disqualify Jesus as the Christ. To accomplish this, Rabbi Akiva and his disciples at Jamnia obscured the Messianic prophecies and the chronology of Genesis from Adam to Abraham. Given the New Testament authors used the Septuagint 90% of the time when quoting the Old Testament, perhaps ironically, Christianity preserved the meaning of the original Hebrew in these specific passages…120 IF this is the case, THEN where are we in the timeline, when it comes to Bible Prophecy in the Bible? Are we closer to the Gog/Magog War of Ezekiel 38 and 39 than we think? Some scholars put it at the End of the Millennium, when Satan is loosed for a season…And what does Satan really mean? Who is our adversary today? The Sixth seal has not happened yet, but the other Five Seals have been occurring since the Crucifixion and increasing in numbers and magnitudes. When one does a word study 119. Ibid., xiii. 120. Ibid., xiii–xiv.

on unripened figs, one can find out the timing of the Sixth Seal. We are getting very close; just ask any non-corrupt seismologist…YAHWEH did not leave us out in the cold. Let us use our time wisely with the great electronic tools that we have today and find out the literal meaning of YAHWEH’s Word, instead of Spiritualizing It! That way, we will be prepared as Yahweh would want us to be!

CHAPTER 5 WHO ARE THE KEYS TO BIBLE PROPHECY? According to Bertrand L. Comparet (1901-1983), a former San Diego Attorney, and a Pastor for 40 years, stated the following with regard to Bible Prophecy: Today, we easily see how each of the great events of the Old Testament days was prophesied long in advance. Yet, the people were strangely blind to it when the events were coming upon them. Today, it is the same; the prophecies concerning the end of the age are being fulfilled; yet the people in most churches cannot make head or tail of it. They wait expectantly for the smallest things to happen, meanwhile being blind to what is actually happening to them. This is because they don’t know to whom the prophecies apply, so they look to the wrong people, in the wrong place, for their fulfillment. Yahweh did not prophesy indiscriminately about everything and everybody. To understand prophecy, you must know to whom the prophecy is addressed. Bible prophecies are grouped into certain main lines, each with its own subject.121 1.

Messianic Prophecies Concerning Yahshuah. They foretold His virgin birth, the place where He would be born, many details of His ministry, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind. All the details of His Betrayal and Crucifixion were given, and His Resurrection on the Third Day, etc. Obviously, only Yahshuah could fulfill these, if you waited for someone else, you could reach only doubt and confusion. All the other main lines of prophesy are also directed specifically to some one subject and cannot be fulfilled by anyone but the people concerning whom they were written.122

2.

Prophecies Concerning the Twelve (12) Tribes of Israel. As we know, Israel split into two nations upon the death of Solomon in 975 B.C. and the two nations then had their separate histories and different destinies to fulfill. Either one alone of the two nations it became and of course, not by any Gentile people cannot fulfill prophecies relating to the whole House of Jacob.123

3.

The Two Tribed Nation of Judah. Judah and Benjamin remained when the Ten Tribed Israel split away from it. These prophecies deal with the short-lived nation foretelling its captivity in Babylon for 70 years. Then, it tells about the return of a remnant to build the 70 weeks nation foretold by Daniel, which would fulfill and outlive its purposes in 490 years. It was to provide the sanctuary for Yahshuah’s First Coming and His Sacrifice for us on

58

the Cross. After that, it served no further purpose and within one generation, it disappeared from history. Just as it is obvious that China, Rome, or Argentina could not fulfill any of these prophecies, neither could the House of Judah fulfill prophecies that do not concern her.124 4.

The House of Israel. Beginning as the Ten Tribed Nation, which broke away from Judah, they had a separate destiny. It was to be Yahweh’s dominion. It must become a great nation and a company of nations. It must be Yahweh’s battle-axe and weapons of war, with which He broke up the evil, pagan nations of the Earth. It must become a great seafaring people, from the Norse Vikings of the several centuries following the decay of the Roman Empire, down through the mighty navies of Great Britain and the United States. Its people must multiply like the stars in heaven in number and they must receive the New Covenant and become Christians. They must possess and develop the lands, which other people had allowed to remain desolate. They must take Yahweh’s religion and civilization to many lands, to show forth His praise in the Earth. All these prophecies concern the House of Israel only and nobody, but the Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, and Germanic nations have fulfilled them. These, we know to be the living generations of Yahweh’s people Israel.125

5.

The Jews. Here, willful blindness of most churches has utterly confused their religion. They persist in applying Yahweh’s prophecies about Israel to the Jews. Since the Jews never did and never could fulfill any of these, such churches have to make excuses for the apparent failure of prophecy and their faith is badly weakened. They must pretend the time has not yet come for fulfillment of any of these prophecies, so the Jews can do these things in some indefinite future. This blinds them to the fact these prophecies have already been fulfilled by the real Israel. These have been fulfilled so far that nothing is left to watch for, but the Russian and Chinese Communist attack on the unwalled cities of Israel, then the Second coming of Yahshuah, for which they are not prepared. In Isaiah 65:15, Yahweh said to the Jews, “Ye shall leave your name as a curse to My Chosen, for Yahweh shall slay thee and call His Servants by another name.” In Jeremiah 24:9, Yahweh said that the Jews would become “a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.” In Isaiah 3:9, Yahweh prophesied that they would be recognized by their faces: “The show of their countenance doeth witness against them and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not.” According to Ezekiel 5:11-12, Yahweh describes what would happen to the Jews: “A third part shall fall by the sword around about thee; and I will scatter a third part unto all the winds and I will draw out a sword after them.” All these things have happened, but this has been overlooked by those who

124. Ibid. 125. Ibid., 98–99.

59

were watching only for that which the Jews couldn’t do because Yahweh had foretold that only Israel could do it.126 6.

The Throne of David. In these prophecies, Yahweh promised the Throne of David would always rule over at least a part of His People. That the House of David will never lack a descendant to sit upon that Throne. Finally, Yahshuah, who is born of the House of David, will return to rule the entire world from the throne. We know that the royal families of Britain and the Scandinavian countries are descended from David. In all these centuries, these prophecies have never failed for even one day; the final fulfillment of Yahshuah’s return is drawing near.127

7.

The Babylonian Succession of Empires. This is told principally in Daniel and Revelation. Their rise to power, their brutal character, their Satanic, but futile opposition to the nations of Israel, and their fall, all occurred as prophesied. The final stages of these prophecies are happening before our eyes today when you know who is who.128

8.

The Kingdom of YAHWEH. This is not something to begin in the vague future. Daniel’s continued prophecy, after foretelling the Babylonian succession of empires, beginning with King Nebuchadnezzar to whom he spoke is recorded in Daniel 2:44, “In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever.” The Kingdom of Yahweh was set up on Earth centuries ago, in the days of the kings of the Babylonian succession of empires. It is still here and most of you are living in It.129

9.

The Church. This is not a nation; it has no armies or navies. It rules no territories; it conducts no commerce; it is not as numerous as the stars; but it is a little flock. It is the spiritual center of the Nations of Israel, but it fulfills only its own prophecies and none of the prophecies of Israel are transferred to it.130

Bertrand L. Comparet concludes: These nine main lines of prophecy are like as many different trains, coming from different places with different passengers and arriving at the depot on different tracks. You will 126. Ibid., 99. 127. Ibid. 128. Ibid. 129. Ibid. 130. Ibid., 100.

60

miss your train if you wit at the wrong platform. Never in all eternity will a Gentile train arrive on an Israel platform, nor will an Israel train arrive at a Jewish platform, nor a Kingdom of Yahweh train at a Church platform. The only key to the understanding of prophecy is to watch for each train of prophecy at its own platform!131 In summary so far, we have established the foundation for the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

What is Etymology? What is a Type in the Bible? What is the Law of First Mention? How Should Bible Prophecy Be Interpreted? and Who Are The Keys to Bible Prophecy?

Now, we will turn our attention to the title of this book, Why Did Yahweh and His Son Yahshuah Say What They Said?

CHAPTER 6 I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED… Genesis 2:4-25 states: These are the GENERATIONS of the HEAVENS and of the EARTH when they were created, IN THE DAY that THE LORD God made: 1. The Earth, and 2. The Heavens, and 3. Every plant of the field before it was in the Earth, and 4. Every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD GOD had not caused it to rain upon the Earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his Father and his mother, and shall cleave 62

unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, Adam, in the Hebrew is #H120, Adam, which means, “Man or human being.”132 This comes from #H119, Adam, which means, “To show blood in the face, i.e. to flush or turn rosy.”133 According to Smith’s Bible Dictionary, the word, Adam, is: The name given in Scripture to the first man (created by the LORD God). It apparently has reference to the ground from which he was formed, which is called in Hebrew, Adamah. The idea of redness of color seems to be inherent in either word.134 According to Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies, the word, Adam, is: So named, as most commonly supposed, from being of a ruddy color. It is especially the denominative of the first man, who was the figure of the second Adam, the image of the invisible God.135 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament: There can be no doubt about the historicity of the account of Adam in Genesis. If this were a mere myth, it would not be used as the basis of New Testament theology. In I Corinthians 15:45, 47, allusion is made to Genesis 2:7; in Jude 1:14 to Genesis 5:3-18; in I Timothy 2:14 to Genesis 3:1-6, 13; in Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:7,8 (cf. Ephesians 5:31) to Genesis 2:24; in Romans 5:12-19; I Corinthians 15:22 to Genesis 2:17; 3:19. All of these references of the New Testament assume the historicity of Adam and the events pertaining to him, as well as the authenticity of the Genesis record.136 I believe that means that Adam could blush, doesn’t it? I wonder what color Adam was? White, Caucasian, perhaps? Genesis 3:1-24 states: 132. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H3. 133. Ibid. 134.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doeth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of they life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of they face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. According to I Timothy 2:13-14, For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” In short, Eve sinned. The 64

word, deceived, is Strong’s #G538, apatao, which means, “to cheat, i.e. delude – deceive.”137 So how was Eve deceived? There is a three-step process according to I John 2:16: For ALL that is in the world, 1. The lust of the flesh, and 2. The lust of the eyes, and 3. The pride of life, Is NOT of the Father, but is of the world. So, who owns this world? Ha Satan, i.e. The Accuser. Who tempted Yahshuah, the same way he tempted Eve, in the same three ways? Ha Satan, i.e. The Accuser. 1.

IF thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread; to which Yahshuah responded, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of God (Matthew 4:3-4).

2.

IF thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone; to which Yahshuah responded, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God (Matthew 4:6-7).

3.

The devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him ALL the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and saith unto Him, ALL these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me; to which Yahshuah finished the temptation by saying, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve (Matthew 4:8-10).

As one can see, Ha Satan never changes his tactics; he just refines them. Ha Satan actually had the gall to use the same attack on Yahshuah, as he did on Eve, How can one be so blinded by arrogance as to think that the same temptations used on a human being, could be used on YAHWEH in the flesh? However, if one notices during this give and take, that Yahshuah never questions Ha Satan’s ownership of the world, which ultimately means that Ha Satan is the Prince of this world… So, how did that happen? Well, one just has to go back to Genesis 3 wherein: 137. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, G10.

65

The Shining One (Ha Nachash – Strong’s #H5175, which comes from Strong’s #5172, which means “To practice divination.138) was more clever than any animal of the filed that the LORD God had made. He asked the woman, (NOT THE MAN) Did God actually say, you are not to eat from any tree of the garden? But the woman (EVE) answered, We may eat from the trees of the garden but as for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You are not to eat from it, nor are you to touch it, or you will die.” The Shining One told the woman, You certainly will not die! Even God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you’ll become like God, knowing good and evil.139 Sounds like modern day Trans-Humanism, doesn’t it? Remember, the Serpent is the equivalent to deception; while, the dragon is equivalent to persecution. IF the serpent had approached Adam, who was a direct creation of YAHWEH, this event would not have happened and Ha Nachash would have been dead. However, that is not what happened…Ha Nachash approached the weaker vessel… So, what did Eve ultimately do? When the woman (EVE): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Saw that the tree produced good food; Was attractive in appearance; and Was desirable for making one wise; SHE TOOK SOME OF ITS FRUIT AND ATE IT. THEN, she also gave some to her husband who was also with her, and HE ATE SOME TOO. AS A RESULT: a. THEY BOTH UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY HAD DONE; AND b. THEY BECAME AWARE THAT THEY WERE NAKED.140

Thus, this is why the Apostle John warned against the wiles of the devil, i.e. the world. And thus, the second law of Thermodynamics, ENTROPY, entered the Garden, and ultimately, the world…And Adam blamed YAHWEH, “The woman whom you provided for me gave me 138. Ibid., H93. 139. William Welty et al., The Holy Bible: International Standard Version Release 2.0 (Toluca Lake, CA: Davidson Press, 2013), 7. 140. Ibid.

66

fruit from the tree, and I ate some of it.”141 And Eve blamed Ha Nachash who “misled me…so I ate.”142 So, one can see that Satan has a three-step plan: 1. 2. 3.

Introduce Doubt; Introduce Denial; and then Introduce Rationalization.

What is interesting to note is what YAHWEH said in this first prophecy of judgment or Protoevangelum: The LORD God told the Shining One, because you have done this, you are more cursed than all the livestock, and more than all the earth’s animals, you’ll crawl on your belly and eat dust as long as you live. I’ll place hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He’ll Strike you on the head, and you’ll strike him on the heel.143 Most Biblical scholars state that this is the first prophecy in the Bible with regard to the First Coming of Yahshuah. You will note that the ISV translates zera as physical offspring for both Ha Nachash and the woman (Eve). However, Dr. Joye Jeffries Pugh discusses the possibility that YAHWEH put that harsh punishment in place because Eve had had sex with the Ha Nachash, thus resulting in the birth of Cain, not an offspring of Adam, resulting in the hierarchy of the Illuminati Kings/Queens, and ultimately culminating in the possibility of Prince Will I AM as the Antichristos.144 As a result, Dr. Pugh theorizes that there are two seedlines: the seed of Ha Nachash (Satan) and the seed of the woman (Eve).145 141.

There is only one Hebrew word for seed used throughout the Old Testament, which is the Hebrew word, zera, Strong’s #H2233, which means, “Figuratively, plant, sowing-time, posterity; carnally, child, fruitful, seed-time, sowing-time.”146 There are a couple of major Greek words for seed used throughout the New Testament, which are sperma, Strong’s #G4690, which means, “Something sown, i.e. seed including male sperm by implication offspring, specifically a remnant, issue, seed;”147 and sporos, Strong’s #G4703, which means, “A scattering of seed, i.e. seed as sown.”148 According to Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies, the word, seed, only has two meanings:149 1.

A sowing, seed time, time of sowing, i.e. late in autumn in Palestine; seed which is scattered, sown, whether of plants, trees, or grain; of what springs from seed sown, filed of grain harvest; crop, produce of field.

2.

Semen virile, hence children, offspring, posterity; spoken also of one child when an only one; a race, stock family; seed royal; a race of class of men.

In either sense, seed is seed. Whether it is seed sown in the ground to produce food or seed sown in a woman to produce children, seed is seed! Period! Therefore, there is the seed of the woman (EVE) running around out there, as well as the seed of that ‘Wicked One’ running around out there! TWO SEEDS! Get used to it! Yahshuah stated that clearly when He stated the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, and John reconfirmed it in his First Epistle! John the Baptist states in Matthew 3:12: Whose fan is in His Hand, and He will thoroughly purge His Floor, and gather His Wheat unto His Garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 146.

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43: Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, His enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So, the servants of the householder came and said unto Him, Sir, didst not Thou sow good seed in Thy Field? From whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, And enemy hath done this. The servants said unto Him, Wilt Thou then that we go and gather them up? But He said, Nay; let while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My Barn. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the Parable of the Tares of the Field. He answered and said unto them, 1. He that soweth the good seed (spermos) is the Son of Man; 2. The field is the world; 3. The good seed are the Children of the Kingdom; but 4. The tares are the Children of the Wicked One; 5. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; 6. The harvest is the end of the world; and 7. The reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; So shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of Man shall send forth His angels, and 1. They shall gather out of His Kingdom all things that offend, and 2. Them which do iniquity; and 3. Shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. THEN, shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Jesus states in Matthew 15:13: Every plant which My Heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. John states in I John 3:12: Not as Cain, who was of that Wicked One, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. Two or more witnesses as according to the Law! Seed is Seed! Period! And there are TWO PHYSICAL SEEDS ON THIS EARTH! I wonder who they are???

CHAPTER 7 THE LORD GOD OF SHEM According to Genesis 9:18-29: And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the Father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the Father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his Father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their Father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their Father’s nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed by Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died. So, who is Shem, besides being the eldest of Noah’s three sons? According to Genesis 10:21, Shem is the Father of all the children of Eber, i.e. Hebrews. So, the line goes as follows: 1.

Adam: Adamites;

2.

Noah: Adamites;

3.

Shem: Shemites/Semites; and

4.

Eber: Hebrews (NOT Jews).

There is only one word in Hebrew for our word, Hebrew, and it is Strong’s #H5680, Ibriy, which means, “Patron, or an Eberite, or a descendant of Eber, i.e. a Hebrew,”150 from Strong’s #5677, Eber, which “is the name of the two patriarchs, Eber and Heber.”151 According to Genesis 14:13: 150. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H102. 151. Ibid.

70

And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, Brother of Eschol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. So, Shem is a Shemite/Semite, and anyone from his genealogical line can be called as such. However, if one were to look those words up in a Strong’s Concordance today, one would not find any such words. If one were to look up those words in Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, the only remotely similar word one would find would be Shemetic, which means, “pertaining to Shem, the son of Noah.”152 However, if one were to look up those words in any modern Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary with the prefix of anti, i.e. anti-Semitism, one would find that that word means, “hostility toward Jews as a religious or social minority.”153 Also, one would be able to find the word, Semite, to mean, “a member of any of a group of peoples (as the Hebrews or Arabs of Southwestern Asia.)”154 (Notice the difference in language used?) According to Ben Williams in his Anti-Thought Control Dictionary: The Stated Meaning of “anti-Semitism” is a disparaging or antagonistic attitude, or hostile act toward a Jew, a Jewish organization or the religion of Judaism. The Covert Intent is used to disarm, intimidate and confuse Christians to become submissive to Jews at the expense and eventual destruction of Christianity. The Actual Meaning is the opposition toward people of Semitic (Shemitic) origin. (Note: Most people who call themselves Jews are not Semitic in origin in that they are not descendants of Shem. In fact, most Jews are not Semitic by race, and have no blood ties to Abraham or the ancient nation of Israel. Rather, they are more closely related to the Ashkenazi (Khazars) from Eastern Europe, which claim no connection to Shem (Noah’s son). By the same token, their religion, Judaism, as well as their Jewish organizations, have no connection to the ancient Hebrews of the Bible. Thus, “Anti-Semitism,” as a term, can only mean “to be 152. Webster, American Dictionary Of. 153. Noah Webster, The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster, 2004), 31. 154. Ibid., 655.

against Semites,” i.e. descendants of Shem, who are actually Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Scandinavian type people.”155 According to Texe Marrs in his Conspiracy of the Six-Pointed Star, an “anti-Semite” is anyone, Jew or Gentile, who: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Is opposed to the ongoing crimes of Israel and/or Jews; or Has the audacity to criticize Israel for either that nation’s domestic or foreign policies; Knows and has the courage to point out that America’s Jewish organizations and political action committees are this nation’s most powerful lobby groups; Knows and dares to point out that wealthy and immoral Jews control America’s porno industry; Knows and dares to point out that wealthy and immoral Jews run Hollywood and the entertainment industry; Knows and dares to point out that wealthy Jews control America’s book publishing and magazine industries; Knows and dares to point out that wealthy Jews own and control the vast majority of the largest internet search engines, online retail firms, and social networking companies, as well as the computer security, computer software, and computer manufacturing industries; Knows and points out that wealthy Jews own and/or control ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and FOX NETWORK news programs, as well as the nation’s largest daily newspapers; Knows and dares to point out that there are 66 outstanding United Nations resolutions condemning Israel for its unlawful assault on and treatment of its Arab neighbors and Palestinians; Knows of and dares to criticize Israel for its massacres, brutal treatment, illegal incarceration, torture and execution of innocent Palestinian and other Arab men, women, and children; Knows and dares to oppose the billions of dollars of United States aid money going to Israel while only a paltry amount, if any, goes to the neighboring Palestinians; and Finally, as if the foregoing list is not enough to stamp a person an anti-Semite, the same tag is usually assigned to someone who exposes the fact that Israeli spies stole the blueprints and secrets of America’s nuclear bombs and the uranium, heavy water, and other elements needed to manufacture nuclear bombs; and then is bold enough to state such pertinent facts as, for example, that Israel has built up an arsenal of some 200 to 400 of these deadly devices, while Israel’s Moslem neighbors – Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and Jordan – have not a single nuke

to use as a counter-vailing weapon in the event they are attacked unprovoked by Israel’s nuclear forces.156 Oh, and by the way, if one were to look up “Project Flower,” one would find out that Israel sold ballistic missile technology to Iran, capable of holding a nuclear warhead, back in the 1970’s. One might want to look at the April 1, 1986 edition of The New York Times for an article which details the Israeli deal with the Shah of Iran…I wonder if they have nukes, yet??? Regardless, YAHWEH is the God of SHEM, and as such, all who follow after Shem genetically are racially called Shemites/Semites; NOT “Jews.” According to Exodus 3:18; 7:16; 9:1, 13; and 10:3, YAHWEH is the LORD God of the Hebrews. Since Abram was a Hebrew according to Genesis 14:13, as such, all who follow after Abram genetically are racially called Hebrews, NOT “Jews,” and YAHWEH is their God! These issues will be discussed in further detail in the chapter entitled, “I Know The Blasphemy Of Them Which Say They Are Jews, And Are Not, But Are The Synagogue Of Satan.”

CHAPTER 8 I AM THAT I AM According to Exodus 3:13-14: And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your Fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them? And God responded unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. In the above verse, AM is Strong’s Concordance #H1961, Hayah, which means, “To be, become, come to pass, exist, happen, fall out to come into being, to become.”157 II Chronicles 7:14 states: IF MY PEOPLE, which are called by MY NAME, shall: 1. Humble themselves, and 2. Pray, and 3. Seek My Face, and 4. Turn from their wicked ways; THEN 1. Will I hear from heaven, and 2. Will forgive their sins, and 3. Will heal their land. In the above verse, the word, people, is Strong’s #H5971 AM, which means, “Nation, people, members one’s people, compatriots, countrymen.”158 In the Ancient Gothic, the word, amer or amir, means, Heaven, and the word, rica means, Kingdom. Put the two words together, and you have America, which means, Kingdom of Heaven. Is the Kingdom of Heaven on the Earth now? Is America, The NEW JerUSAlem? The last Total Eclipse on August 21, 2017 crossed over seven cities called Salem. There were seven cities called Salem in the path of the Great 157. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H34. 158.

American Total Solar Eclipse: Salem, Oregon; Salem, Idaho; Salem, Wyoming; Salem, Nebraska; Salem, Missouri; Salem, Kentucky; and Salem, North Carolina. Not only were there seven cities names Salem in the path of the Great American Eclipse; but when the eclipse began in Salem, Oregon, the sun set in Jerusalem at the exact same time. What’s even more mindblowing is that this eclipse exited The United States of America at the Isle of Palms in South Carolina, and South Carolina’s flag has a palm tree on it as well as what appears to be a solar eclipse. Did our Forefathers understand who we really were? The Apostles Paul, Peter, and John sure did. There are four Greek words that could be translated as people. When the term, people, is used in conjunction with phrase of God in the New Testament, it is translated using the Greek word, laos. According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, laos, is #G2992, which means, “a people, people group, tribe, nation, all those who are of the same stock and language.”159 See Hebrews 4:9; 8:10; 11:25; I Peter 2:10. According to Nord Davis: …Hebrews 8:10 is the Great Contract. What do we know about this word “people”? Are they whosoever will? No, The New Testament contract specifically states that it is made with The House of Israel and The House of Judah, and not with “The Church” or with some new group of non-Israel people. Almighty God, through the pen of St. Paul, who was quoting Jeremiah 31, used the Greek word, laos, for people. He could have selected the Greek word, ochlos, meaning a crowd, throng or multitude. He did not select the Greek word, demos, meaning some common, vulgar people as spoken of in Acts 12:22. He did not select the Greek word, ethnos, meaning a common nation as in Romans 10:19. He did not use the Greek word for people, Anthropos, meaning mankind in general as translated “men,” i.e. people in John 6:10. IF salvation was for ALL Men, The World, etc., any of these Greek words could have been used to make anyone a “New Testament Christian.” But, Paul did not use any of these words, here, but instead the Greek word, LAOS. Here is what the authoritative VINE’s has to say about this very specific Greek word, LAOS: “Laos is used of a people at large, especially a people assembled, a people of the same race and language.” Is it time to rest my case on this matter of people and races? 159.

CHAPTER 9 THE LORD GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB. This term is written all throughout the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament. The significance of the name change from Abram to Abraham is quite significant. Genesis 17:5 states, Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a Father of many nations have I made thee. According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible: H87: Abram means, “High Father, Abram, the original name of Abraham.”160 H85: Abraham means, “To be populous; Father of a multitude; Abraham the later name of Abram.”161 G11: Abraam means, “Abraham, the Hebrew patriarch.”162 According to an article entitled, The Meaning of Abram and Abraham Genesis 17:5: The proposal of this study has been to treat the names as two distinctly different names for the same person. The meaning of Abram can have three different meanings: (1) Father is exalted, (2) Father departed, and (3) Father is superior. On the other hand, the name Abraham appears to have had two well-defined meanings: (1) Father is indecisive in making decisions, and (2) Father is prolific. When the names are interpreted as referring to the patriarch, there is an element of truth in all five…The latter definition would have support from Sarai’s name having been changed to Sarah…since “she became great in number or quantity/many, numerous” as suggested by Genesis 17:15, “she will become nations.” According to Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, Abrahamic means, “Pertaining to Abraham, the patriarch.”163 160. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H2. 161. Ibid. 162. Ibid., G11. 163. Webster, American Dictionary Of.

77

The significance is recorded in the text, “The change of name recorded here is in itself a confirmation of the promises Abram (High Father) becomes Abraham (Father of many nations) for “a Father of many nations have I made thee;” (Genesis 17:4). It was The LORD God’s way of confirming His promises to Abraham. The historical promises that are referred to in Genesis 17:6 are as follows: Genesis 17:6 states: 1. And I (YAHWEH) will make thee (Abraham) exceeding fruitful, and 2. I will make nations of thee, and 3. Kings shall come out of thee. With regard to Promise #1, Abraham was married to Sarah and had the son of the promise, Isaac, through whom came Jacob/Israel, the 12 Patriarchs and ultimately, Yahshuah. Abraham also went in unto Hagar and had Ishmael, the Father of the Arabs. After Sarah’s death, Abraham took Keturah to wife, and had other offspring as well. So Promise #1 was thoroughly fulfilled even to this day. Promise #1 Fulfilled! With regard to Promise #2, Israel became a nation, but was ultimately divided and dispersed; the Northern House of Israel (which included a majority of the House of Judah) by the Assyrians never to return, thus resulting in the English speaking nations of modern day Europe, The United Kingdom, The United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and peppered throughout the world; and the Southern House of Judah by the Babylonians of which only roughly 42,0000 came back. Not exactly the whole House of Israel, which was at last count over 5 million (conservatively speaking). Both the House of Israel and the House of Judah will become one stick in the Hands of The LORD God (Ezekiel 37) when He gathers them from the North, the South, the East, and the West, and brings them together. Israel has been mixed among the Nations, and has been Gentilized and will be personally gathered by The LORD God Himself. Israel was to be a servant nation forever.

78

With regard to the offspring of Ishmael, the 12 princes apparently resided in what is today modern-day Arabia. With regard to the sons of Keturah, there is evidence that they resided in Eastern and Southern Palestine. Obviously, with DNA today, we can know exactly who is who today, where they came from …Promise #2 Fulfilled! With regard to Promise #3, YAHWEH’s Throne was established through the Davidic Line, i.e. The House of David, FOREVER. Attached is a chart which shows that Queen Elizabeth can trace her genealogy all the way back to King David of Israel, (and back to Adam), which is why she took the title of Queen of Israel when she was coronated! The Throne has been established for Our Lord and Saviour to come and take when He comes back as LORD of Lords and KING of Kings! Promise #3 Fulfilled! In conclusion, all three promises were permanent, were fulfilled, and are being fulfilled even to this day! THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, AND THE HOUSE OF DAVID ALL EXIST TODAY! And, of course, the Abrahamic Covenant is still in force today! Genesis 17:7 states: And I will establish My Covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible: The word for seed in the Hebrew is Strong’s #H2233, zera, which means, “seed, sowing, offspring, descendants, posterity, children, semen virile.”164 The word for seed in the Greek is Strong’s #G4690, sperma, which means, “seed, the male sperm; by implication offspring; issue.”165

164. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H39. 165. Ibid, G82-G83.

79

The word for everlasting in the Hebrew is Strong’s #H5769, olam, which means, “long duration, antiquity, futurity, forever, ever, everlasting, evermore, perpetual.”166 The word for everlasting in the Greek is Strong’s #G166, aionios, which means, “perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well); eternal, forever, everlasting.”167 The word for seed is very specific and only belongs to the physical offspring of one man named Abraham, and with regard to the Covenant made by YAHWEH, IT IS EVERLASTING, which means, FOR EVERMORE! In addition, Genesis 28:14 and Genesis 35:11 prophesy of a Worldwide Commonwealth of Nations: Genesis 28:14 states: And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and the east, and the north, and to the south: and in thee and thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 35:11 states: And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; Because of the Assyrian dispersions, the House of Israel fulfilled both of these verses in Genesis, as well as a host of many others. Yahshuah was indeed the ultimate blessing to the whole world; however, His servant nation, Israel, i.e. Ephraim (Great Britain and its Empire) and Manasseh (The United States of America) were a blessing to the world as well, by bringing about the industrial and technological revolutions, thus creating industrial technology to produce clean water, sewage systems, better medicines, etc., as well as embarking on enhanced biological technologies (which may end up being the end of mankind…). Anyway, during the 20th Century, 166. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H103. 167. Ibid., G3.

even though more people died because of democide than in any other century to date, we did provide life-saving technology to the world and did try to make the world a better place. At least we fulfilled the prophecy in Revelation 3:7-13, wherein England and The United States of America were responsible for 95% of the missionary work in the world, which included translating the Bible into the various languages of the world, transporting them to their destinations, and teaching the Gospel. Jesus states in the Parable of the Tares and the Wheat in Matthew 13:24-30, 37-44: Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My Barn. Both sons have been great and conquered the world for good, but both have been corrupted, and the time for Yahshuah to come is on the horizon! According to the following Scriptures, these promises were made to “the Fathers,” which are to be fulfilled in the Christian dispensation: Luke 1:55 states: As he spake to our Fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever. Luke 1:72-73 states: To perform the mercy promised to our Fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; the oath which he sware to our Father Abraham, Acts 3:13 states: The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our Fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. Acts 3:22 states: For Moses truly said unto the Fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you.

81

Acts 3:25 states: Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our Fathers, saying unto Abraham, and in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Acts 5:30 states: The God of our Fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Acts 7 states: Stephen’s Sermon regarding the History of Israel Romans 9:3-5 states: For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; whose are the Fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. Romans 15:8 states: Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the Fathers: YAHWEH is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the Promises were only made to Israel, and are still yet to be fulfilled… Here is a list of 40 fulfilled Bible prophecies, which identify the True Israel Peoples: 1.

CHAPTER 10 BECAUSE THAT ABRAHAM OBEYED MY VOICE, AND KEPT MY CHARGE, MY COMMANDMENTS, MY STATUTES, AND MY LAWS. According to Genesis 26:1-5: And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the LORD appeared unto him (Isaac), and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; BECAUSE THAT ABRAHAM OBEYED MY VOICE, AND KEPT MY CHARGE, MY COMMANDMENTS, MY STATUTES, AND MY LAWS. According to Deuteronomy 6:1-9: NOW THESE ARE THE COMMANDMENTS, THE STATUTES, AND THE JUDGMENTS, WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD COMMANDED TO TEACH YOU (ISRAEL), that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightiest fear the LORD thy God, to keep ALL HIS STATUTES AND HIS COMMANDMENTS, which command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: And though shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. And according to Deuteronomy 11:1: THEREFORE THOU (ISRAEL) SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD, AND KEEP HIS CHARGE, AND HIS STATUTES, AND HIS JUDGMENTS, AND HIS COMMANDMENTS, ALWAYS. So, Who and What did Abraham obey? And, Who and What did Israel obey?

ABRAHAM OBEYED THE SAME YAHWEH, HIS VOICE, CHARGE, COMMANDMENTS, JUDGMENTS, LAW, STATUTES, AND TESTIMONIES THAT WERE GIVEN TO THE YAHWEH’S PEOPLE, ISRAEL. Let’s define the following words: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Voice; Charge; Commandments; Judgments; Law; Statutes; and Testimonies.

According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, voice, is #H6963, qol, which means, “Voice, sound, noise, cry.”168 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the word, voice, is the Hebrew word, qol, which means, “A voice, sound.”169 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the word, qol, means, “Voice, sound, noise, cry.”170 According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, charge, is #H4931, mishmereth, which means, “Charge, keep, to be kept, office, ordinance, safeguard, ward, watch.”171 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the word, charge, is the Hebrew word, mishmereth, which means, “Charge, thing to be watched.”172 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the word, mishmereth, means: 168.

Guard, charge, duty. This word comes from the verb, samar, #H8104, meaning to watch, to keep, to protect, or to guard, and has a multiplicity of usages. In its most basic sense, it describes a guarded place; keeping for later use; or protection against enemies. In several instances, it is used of a guard post. The idea of obedience (i.e. keeping the commandments) is often depicted, which leads to a translation of charge or duty.173 According to William Gesenius’ Hebrew and English Lexicon of The Old Testament, Including the Biblical Chaldee, the word, charge, means, “Custody, guard, keeping, observance, that which is observed, a law, a rite.”174 According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, commandments, is #H4687, mitzvah, which means, “A command, whether human or divine (collectively the Law), which was commanded, law, ordinance, precept,”175 and is #G1785, entole, which means, “An authoritative prescription, commandment, precept.”176 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the word, mitzvah, means, “Precept.”177 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the word, miswah, means: A commandment. It can apply to the edicts issued by a human being, most likely the king. It can also relate to a general corpus of human precepts; or a body of teachings. On the other hand, this expression can reference God’s commands. In the Pentateuch, this is its only usage. It does not refer to human commandments. In the singular, it may distinguish a certain commandment; yet it appears most frequently in the plural to designate the entire corpus of divine law and instruction (Genesis 26:5; Deuteronomy 6:2).178 173.

According to William Gesenius’ Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, Including the Biblical Chaldee, the word, mitzvah, means, “Precepts of God. The idea of prohibition.”179 According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, judgments, is #H4941, mishpat, which means: A verdict (favorable or unfavorable) pronounced judicially, especially a sentence or formal decree (human or [participant’s] divine law, individually or collectively), including the act, the place, the suit, the crime, and the penalty; abstract: justice, including a participant’s right or privilege (statutory or customary), or even a style: plus adversary, ceremony, charge, x crime, custom, desert, determination, discretion, disposing, due, fashion, form, to be judged, judgement, justice, justly, (manner of) law, lawful, manner, measure, (due) order, ordinance, right, sentence, usest, x worthy, + wrong.180 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the word, mishpat, means, “Judgment.”181 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the word, mishpat, means, “A judgment, a legal decision, a legal case, a claim, proper, rectitude. The word connotes several variations in meanings depending on the context.”182 According to William Gesenius’ Hebrew and English Lexicon of The Old Testament, Including the Biblical Chaldee, the word, mishpat, means, “Judgment.”183 According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, law, is #H8451, torah, which means, “A precept or statute, especially the Decalogue or Pentateuch, i.e. The Law,”184 and in the Greek, is #G3551, nomos, which means, “Law through the idea of 179.

prescriptive usage, generally regulation, specifically of Moses including the volume; also of the Gospel.”185 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the Hebrew word, torah, means, “Direction, teaching,”186 and the Greek word, nomos, means, “Law, ordinance, custom.”187 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the word, torah, means: Instruction, direction, law, Torah, the whole Law…This word torah refers to the entire Book of Deuteronomy and Moses’ exposition of the Torah found in it (Deuteronomy 1:5). By implication, the word here also refers to the laws given in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. Numerous times this word refers to the whole Law of Moses, the Book of the Law of Moses, The Book of the Law of God, The Law of the LORD, and the Law of God given at Sinai (in order of titles listed). The kings of Israel were held to the standard of the Law of Moses.188 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament, the word, nomos, means: Specifically of particular laws, statutes, ordinances, spoken in the New Testament mostly of the Mosaic statutes…The Law, i.e. a code of body of laws. In the New Testament, used only in the Mosaic code.189 According to William Gesenius’ Hebrew and English Lexicon of The Old Testament, Including the Biblical Chaldee, the word, torah, means, “A command, a precept, the idea of prohibition. Any of the laws given by Yahweh that ought to be done.”190 185. Ibid., G61. 186. Young, Analytical Concordance To, 590. 187. Ibid., 591. 188. Baker and Carpenter, The Complete Word Study, 1220. 189.

According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, statutes, is #H2708, chuqqah, which means, “Appointed, custom manner, ordinance, site, statute.”191 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the word, chuqqah, means, “Decreed, limit, portion, statute.”192 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the word, chuqqah, means, “Statute, ordinance.”193 According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word, testimonies, is #H5715, eduwth, which means, “Testimony, witness,”194 and in the Greek is #G3140, martureo, which means, “To be a witness, i.e. testify; charge, give evidence, bear record, have (obtain, of) good (honest) report, be well reported of, testify, give (have) testimony, (be, bear, give obtain) witness.”195 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the Hebrew word, eduth, means, “Witness, testimony,”196 and the Greek word, martureo, means, “To bear witness.”197 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the word, edut, means: Testimony, precept, warning, sign. It is always used in connection with the testimony of God and most frequently in association with the Tabernacle. The stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments are identified as God’s Testimony. Because the Ten Commandments represent the Covenant that God made with Israel, they are also called the “Tables of the Covenant;” and they were pre-eminent in the Tabernacle. As a result, the Tabernacle is sometimes called the Tabernacle of the Testimony; and the Ark is sometimes called the Ark of the Testimony. This term is also used alone to 191.

represent the Ark. In time, this term came to stand for the laws or precepts that God had delivered to humanity.198 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament, the word, martureo, means: To be a witness, to be able or ready to testify; to bear witness, to testify to the truth of what one has seen, heard, or knows: or emphatically, to testify strongly, bear honorable testimony; to be well-testified about, to have a good witness.199 THE DECALOGUE, i.e. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (EXODUS 20:1-17): The First Four (4) Commandments are our Love toward YAHWEH: 1. 2.

3. 4.

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God (YAHWEH) am a jealous God… Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God (YAHWEH) in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain. Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy.

The Cross-Over Commandment: 5. Honor thy Father and thy Mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God (YAHWEH) giveth thee. The Last Five (5) Commandments are our Love toward our fellow Brethren: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

THE 613 LAWS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT BY THE RABBIS BY CATEGORY: According to Finis Jennings Dake, there are 2,713 Old Testament Laws.200 (Please see Appendix #3.) However, according to the Rabbis, there are 248 positive Laws in the Old Testament (the number of bones in the human body) and there are 365 negative Laws in the Old Testament (the number of days in a year). (Please see Appendix #4.) Regardless, The Law is God’s Divine Instructions in Righteousness without which man would NOT have any blueprint for moral, holy living! Neither Yahshuah, nor His Apostles, ever spoke against the Law, nor suggested that after Yahshuah’s death, that the Torah was to become null and void. The Apostle Paul stated in Romans 3:31: Do we then make void The Law through faith? GOD FORBID: YEA, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW.”

CHAPTER 11 YOU (ISRAEL) ONLY HAVE I KNOWN OF ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH… According to Amos 3:1-3: HEAR this word that the LORD hath spoke against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore, I will punish you for all your iniquities. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Those verses are very self-explanatory! What are the titles that “The LORD God” or “God” goes by in the Bible with regard to Israel or that the Bible talks about Israel only?

CHAPTER 12 IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. Based on the verses below, YAHWEH has not done away with His Law, and our LORD and Saviour Yahshuah plainly states, that in: Matthew 5:17: THINK NOT that I AM come to destroy the law or the prophets: I AM not come to destroy but to fulfill. Matthew 22:37-40: THOU SHALT love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hand all the law and the prophets. Revelation 22:14-15: BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city (of New Jerusalem). For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:18-19: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this Book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this Book. When one studies The New Testament thoroughly, one will find that there are about 1,050 Commands (See Appendix V); whereas, there are 2,713 Commands in the Old Testament (See Appendix III), which includes the Sacrificial Laws that were fulfilled by Yahshuah on the Cross. That is why we need Yahshuah as our Mediator for the transgression of the Law to Grace under the Law! By the way, by what LAW do you think that YAHSHUAH is going to judge the world with when He comes again? Man’s Law, which is fallible, or YAHWEH’s LAW, which is PERFECT, according to Psalm 119? 106

Here are 100 questions by G. Burnside for you to answer, if you can, with regard to God’s Law: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

How could a God of Peace destroy a Law that brings peace to troubled hearts (Psalm 119:165)? How could God abolish the very Law that Jesus has in His Heart (Psalm 40:8)? How could God abolish His Law, which is to be the standard by which men and women will be judged (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). How could God do away with His Law, which is to “stand fast forever” (Psalm 111:7-8)? How could God do away with His Law after He said His people have forgotten His Law and are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6-7)? How could God abolish His Law after accusing the religious leaders of hardening their hearts against His Law, and deceiving the people (Malachi 2:7-9)? How could God abolish His Commandments when Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to those who would keep them (John 14:16-17, 26; Acts 5:32)? How could God have done away with His Law at Christ’s death, and then later, bet with Stephen, as he was stoned for having told his murderers that they had not kept God’s Law (Acts 7:53-56)? How could God abolish the same Law that is to be the standard by which we measure the teachings of every teacher, and every preacher, and every church (Isaiah 8:20)? (Compare I Peter 4:11 and Acts 7:38) How could God abolish the Law when Jesus suffered and died to redeem us from the curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13)? Jesus came to redeem them that were under the Law (Galatians 4:4-5). How could God abolish His Law when the Bible says, “Where no Law is, there is no transgression” (Romans 4:15; 6:13)?

How could God do away with the very Law that helps in converting the soul (Psalm 19:7)? How could God abolish the Law that helps a sinner to realize his need? When a sinner realizes that death is the penalty for transgression, and in sorrow, he comes to God for forgiveness, he receives a pardon through Jesus Christ. That pardon is Grace. Would God abolish the very Law that Christ died for to make it possible to give grace to the sinner? If God abolished His Law, there would be no transgression, and therefore, no need of forgiveness or grace. Grace is not something apart from the Law; it is necessary. Paul said to the Christians: “ye are not under the Law, but under grace” (Romans 6:14). Then he said, “shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid” Romans 6:15). In Galatians 3:21, Paul says, “The Law is not against the promises of God.” How could God abolish His Law and thus, do away with Grace, too?

How could God abolish the Sabbath command when Jesus said He Himself was Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:27-28)? And Jesus Himself made the Sabbath (John 1:1-3; Mark 2:27). And it was Christ’s custom to keep it (Luke 4:16). How could Jesus Christ abolish His Law and the Sabbath that He made and not say a single word about it to His closest followers? At the same time of His death, they kept the Sabbath according to the Commandment (Luke 23:56; 65). (Compare Matthew 24:20). How could God abolish the Sabbath when Jesus said, “It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass, than one tittle of the Law to fail (Luke 16:17)? How could God abolish His Commandments when Jesus said that those who worship in vain have the commandments of men (Mark 7:7, 9)? The worship, which is accepted of God, must be where the Commandments of God are taught and obeyed (John 14:21). How could God forsake His Law when that is the very thing that the Bible says the wicked have done (Psalm 119:53)? How could God do away with His Law when the Bible says, “The way of transgressors is hard” (Proverbs 13:15)? Where there is no Law, there is no transgression (Romans 4:15). How could God do away with His Law when the Bible says, “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer shall be an abomination” (Proverbs 28:9)? How could God do away with His Commandments when the Bible says, “The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His Commandments” (Ecclesiastes 1314)? How could God do away with His Commandments after He promised to show mercy to all who would keep them (Psalm 103:18)? How could God abolish the Commandments that the angels keep (Psalm 103:20)? How could God do away with His Law, which is so perfect and high, that IT points the believer to Christ as the end for righteousness, the very highest standard of a perfect sinless live (Romans 10:4)? (Compare Isaiah 51:8 and James 5:11). How could God abolish His Law, which gives comfort in affliction and trial (Psalm 199:92). How could God do away with His Law, which gives wisdom and understanding (Psalm 119:98, 100)?

How could God abolish His Commandments in order to make room for tradition, i.e. the commandments of men? How could God abolish His Law, which gives His people liberty when they obey it (James 2:10-12)? It is the lawbreaker, who is put in jail and who is in bondage. How could God do away with the Law that helps a poor sinner to realize his condition (Romans 3:9, 20, 23)? How could God do away with the Law that “stops every mouth” and makes “all the world guilty before God” (Romans 3:19)? (Compare Romans 3:9, 23). How could God do away with the Law that tells what sin is when the Bible says, “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous” (I John 2:1; 3:4)? Why have an advocate, if the Law is gone? How could God abolish the Ten Commandments, or the Moral Law, at the same time that He abolished the Ceremonial Law, which had to do with the Offerings and Sacrifices (Ephesians 2:16; Colossians 2:14:17). The Handwriting of Ordinances are not the Ten Commandments. The Ceremonial Law was instituted to show the people what to do when they broke the Moral Law. By their sacrifices, they could show their faith in the great sacrifice, which was to be offered on Calvary. All the Sacrifices and Offerings pointed forward to Jesus Christ. When Jesus died, the veil in the temple was rent from top to bottom, signifying that the Sacrificial or Ceremonial Law had ended. Many people confuse the Ceremonial and Moral Laws. How could God abolish the Law that has the Sabbath command in it when God Himself ceased from labor and rested on the seventh day, and your Bible says that all who have entered into rest (spiritual rest too) with Him, have ceased from their own works as God did from His (Hebrews 4:4, 10)? How could God do away with the very Law that His people are to keep in order to have works to show their faith (James 2:18)? Read carefully James 2:10-12. The “works” here referred to are works of obedience as the verses plainly indicate. Paul says, “Do we make void the Law through Faith? God forbid, we establish the Law” (Romans 3:31). How could God do away with the Commandments that Jesus referred to when He said, “whosoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 6:19)? How could God abolish the same Law that He promised to write in the heart of every Christian, who is really under the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31; Hebrews 8:10)? How could God abolish His Law when only those who keep it can have justification (Romans 2:13)? How could God abolish the Law that the carnal of sinful mind refuses to obey (Romans 8:7)? How could God destroy the very same Law that Jesus said He came not to destroy (Matthew 5:17-19)? How could God do away with the Commandments, the same Commandments that Jesus said hung on the two Great Commandments of Love to God and Love to Man (Matthew 22:36-40)? The first four Commandments show our relation to God; the

last six Commandments show our relation to man. Thus, they all hang on the two principles of love to God and to man. How could God do away with the same Commandments that Jesus told the young ruler to keep if he wanted to enter into life and be saved (Matthew 19:17)? (Compare Revelation 22:14.) How could God abolish His Commandments when they give a good understanding to all who keep them (Psalm 111:10)?

How could God make void His Law when Jesus condemned Jesus condemned the Scribes and Pharisees for making void the Low of God by their traditions (Matthew 15:3, 6)? How could God do away with His Commandments when Jesus told His disciples to keep them if they loved Him (John 14:15)? How much do we love Him? How could God have abolished His Law when the curse of God rests upon the world because the inhabitants have transgressed His Law (Isaiah 24:6-8)? How could God abolish the Sabbath Commandment when He pronounced a blessing upon the man who would keep the Sabbath (Isaiah 56:2, 6)? How could God abolish the Sabbath commandment when He said that all who would turn away their foot from the Sabbath, from doing their own pleasure on His Holy Day, would be blessed in many ways, and would help to raise the foundations of generations, and be called repairers of the breach (Isaiah 58:12-14)? How could God abolish the Sabbath Commandment when Jesus said that He Himself was LORD of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8)? How could God abolish the Sabbath Commandment when He said the Sabbath was a sign of sanctification (Ezekiel 20:12)? Should not a sanctified Sabbath and a sanctified person be in harmony? How could God turn away from His Law and abolish IT when He has always been hurt when His people turned away from it (Jeremiah 16:10-11, 16; Isaiah 58:1, 1214)? How could God reject His Law and abolish IT when He said He would bring evil upon those who rejected IT (Jeremiah 6:19)? (Compare Jeremiah 6:4, 6). How could God abolish the very Law that He says He has implanted in the hearts of those who “know Righteousness” (Isaiah 51:7)? How could God abolish His Law that some people “will not hear” and even tell their ministers not to preach (Isaiah 30:8-10)? God calls them rebellious children. How could God do away with His Commandments after promising peace and righteousness in abundance to those who “hearken to His Commandments” (Isaiah 48:18)? How could God abolish the Sabbath Commandment when He gave the Sabbath to be a sign that He is our God (Ezekiel 20:20)?

How could God abolish His Law after making the statement that some of the people would stop their ears and make their hearts like stone so they would not hear His Law (Zechariah 7:11-12)? How could God do away with His Law after making the Statement that the people have trespassed against His Law, and have “sown the wind and shall reap the whirlwind” (Hosea 8:1-7)? How could God abolish the Commandments, which is the test by which we know that we know God (I John 2:3)? How could God abolish His Commandments and then later have John write that the man who claims to know God and does not keep God’s Commandments, is a liar (I John 2:4)? How could God abolish His Commandments, when Jesus kept Them, and we are told “to walk even as He walked” (I John 2:6)? How could God abolish His Commandments and also promise to hear the prayers of those who keep His Commandments (I John 3:22)? How could God abolish His Commandments and later have John write that those who love God and keep His Commandments will love the children of God (I John 5:2)? How could God have His Commandments abolished when it “is the love of God” that we keep His Commandments (I John 5:3)? (Compare II John 6 and John 14:15.) How could God abolish His Law and the Sabbath after He says the “Priests have violated His Law and have hid their eyes from His Sabbath, and have showed no difference between the holy and the profane” (Ezekiel 22:26)? How could anyone accuse God of changing or abolishing His own perfect Law when the Prophet saw an ENEMY POWER that would think to change it (Daniel 7:25)? Read about the four beasts and the little “horn” (Daniel 7:1-8). How could God have abolished His Commandments when it says that the last or remnant people of God will be keeping the Commandments just before Jesus comes to gather the harvest of the Earth? Read carefully Revelation 12:17 and 14:12-16. How could God abolish His Commandments and also promise that in the New Earth, His People will be keeping the Sabbath (Isaiah 66:22-23)? The Sabbath Command is in the center of His Law. The Sabbath is God’s Mark or Sign of His Power and Authority as the Creator (Exodus 20:8-11). The Sabbath has always been God’s test of obedience (Exodus 16:4, 23, 26-28).

IF The LORD God has abolished His Law, then hundreds of texts in your Bible have become meaningless and should be left out. However, Malachi 4:4 states: Remember ye THE LAW OF MOSES My Servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for ALL ISRAEL, with THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS. Notice anything missing before entering the New Testament? THE ORDINANCES…

CHAPTER 13 I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. According to Matthew 15:24, Jesus Christ told the Canaanite (Syro-Phoenician) woman that, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” What does the word “lost” mean? Who are the “sheep”? Who is “the House of Israel”? and Who are the “lost sheep of the house of Israel?” But, before we define those terms, let’s look at the following translations of Matthew 15:24 for clarity and consideration: The English Hexapla201 states Matthew 15:24 in the following English translations: Wyclif states, He answered & seide, I am not sente but to the scheep of the hous of Israel that perischiden. Tyndale states, He answered, and sayde: I am not sent, but vnto the loost shepe of the house of Israel. Cranmer states, But he answered, & sayde: I am not sent but vnto the lost shepe of the house of Israel. The Geneva states, But he answered, and sayed, I am not sent but vnto the lost shepe of the house of Israel. Rheims states, And he ansvvering said: I vvas not sent but to the sheepe that are lost of the house of Israel. The Authorised states, But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but vnto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel. 201. The English Hexapla Exhibiting the Six Important English Translations of the New Testament Scriptures: Wycliff (1380); Tyndale (1535); Cranmer (1539); Genevan (1557); Angl-Rhemish (1582); And Authorized (1611) (London, England: Samuel Bagster and Sons, 1841).

Young’s Literal Translation of the Holy Bible202 states, And He answering said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Douay-Rheims Translation203 states, And He answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel. The Weymouth New Testament204 states, “I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” He replied. Ferrar Fenton’s Translation of the New Testament205 states, In reply, however, he said, “I was not sent to other than the lost sheep of Israel’s house. The Bible: James Moffatt Translation206 states, He replied, It was only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel that I was sent. The Holy Bible from The Ancient Eastern Text207 states, And He answers, saying to them, I am not sent, except to the sheep which went astray from the house of Israel. The Bible: An American Translation208 states, But He answered, I am sent only to the lost sheep of Israel’s house. 202.

The Emphasized Bible209 states, But [He] answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Interlinear Bible210 states, But answering He said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The New American Standard Bible211 states, But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Eastern Greek Orthodox New Testament212 states, However, Jesus answered, “I was not sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Hendrickson Parallel Bible213 states Matthew 15:24 in the following English translations: The King James Bible states, But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The New King James Bible states, But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The New International Version states, He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.

The New Revised Standard Version214 states, He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Christogenea New Testament215 states, Then replying He said, “I have not been sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel!” Ivan Panin’s Translation of the New Testament216 states, But he answered and said, “I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Aramaic English New Testament217 states, But he answered and said to them, “Have I not been sent except to the sheep, which went astray from the house of Israel? The Apostolic Bible Polyglot218 states, And responding he said, I was not sent except unto the [sheep lost] of the house of Israel. The International Standard Version 2.0219 states, But he replied, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel. The New World Translation220 states, He answered: “I was not sent to anyone except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

The Berean Study Bible222 states, He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The Complete Jewish Study Bible223 states, He said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Isra’el. The Pure Word224 states, He Answered and then Spoke, I am definitely not Sent Out, except to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. The Greek word for “lost” is Strong’s Concordance #G622 (apollumi)225 and it means: 1.

2.

To destroy a. To put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to ruin b. To render useless c. To declare that one must be put to death d. Metaphorically, to devote or give over to eternal misery in hell e. To perish, to be lost, ruined, destroyed. To destroy a. To lose

Apollumi is made up of two other Greek words: Strong’s Concordance #G575 (apo),226 which means, “to put away,” and Strong’s Concordance #G3639 (ollumi)227, which means, “in punishment, chastisement, destruction, or death.” For the sake of context, I have used the following verses from George V.

Matthew 10:6 states, But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24 states, But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 18:11 states, For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost. Luke 15:4 states, What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Luke 15:6 states, And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. Luke 15:8-9 states, Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth he friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Luke 15:24 states, For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. Luke 15:32 states, It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. Luke 19:10 states, For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost. The other Greek word for “lost” is Strong’s Concordance #G3471 (moraino),229 which means, “to become insipid, to lose savour.” For the sake of context, I have used the following verses from George V. Wigram’s The Englishman’s Greek Concordance of the New Testament:230 229. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, G59. 230. Wigram, The Englishman's Greek Concordance, 512.

Matthew 5:13 states, Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Luke 14:34 states, Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? As one can see, there is a big difference between the Greek definitions for the English word, lost. Jesus Christ, Himself, chose to use the Greek word, apollumi, to describe the lost sheep of the House of Israel, not the Greek word, moraino. Any person who has studied Greek knows that Jesus Christ meant that He came not but unto the “put away in punishment sheep of the House of Israel.” That phrase reveals a physical national salvation issue; not a spiritualized personal salvation issue. So, the English word “lost” when referenced with the House of Israel, never means “the spiritually unsaved” in the way Babylonian “churchianity” uses it today. You will note that Wycliffe set the tone by actually using the word “perished” in his translation of Matthew 15:24, and then from that point, the rest of the translators used the word “lost,” never thinking that that word would be “spiritualized” at some point in the future! Remember historically, it is the northern kingdom of Israel that is referred to as lost. Between the years 741-676 B.C., the kingdom of Israel came to an ignominious end. Samaria, the capital city, fell to the Assyrians; almost the entire population of the northern kingdom was removed from their own land, and the Bible leaves them captive in Assyria and Media, where, apparently, they seemed to vanish into complete oblivion. The Bible not only records these national disasters, but also gives the reasons for this catastrophe. Israel had failed to keep the Commandments of God and therefore invoked the penalty of losing occupation in their land.” These accounts can be found in II Kings 15:19-20, 29; 17:3-6; 18:13; and I Chronicles 5:26.

According to Rev. William Pascoe Goard in his The Post-Captivity Names of Israel, prior to the captivity, Israel was a Divinely-given spiritual name. Isaac was the Divinely-given family name. Omri was the Dynastic or national name…This name originated in King Omri, who was the lawmaker who displaced Moses; who substituted the “Statutes of Omri” for “the commandments, statutes, and judgments of the Lord” in Israel…Whatever other names Israel bore in the days of her residence in Palestine, such as Ephraim, etc., she bore out into captivity these two names: Isaac, or Saka; and Omri. By what names was Israel known after being carried into captivity?...Israel was called: Saka, Scythia, Scythian,” etc., or the House of Isaac. “Beth Omri,” “Bit Kumri,” or the House of Omri. These are two of the names which Israel bore when she was carried into captivity. There are many forms of spelling the same names. Among the many variations of this name Beth Omri we find Bit Kumri, Kimmerians, Cimmerians, Gimmiri, etc. The name Isaac has also a score or more of variations, such as Sakai, Sacae, Sakasuna, etc. The Sakai are also called Kimmerians, Cimmerians, Gimmirians, etc. But the Sakai, otherwise called Kimmerians, are also called Scythians. This fact is established by those inscriptions which are best known, and which have furnished the key to Assyriology.231 According to W.H. Bennett, “We have our Lord’s own command to His disciples: “Go not into the way of the Gentiles [i.e., the nations] and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 10:5-7). W.H. Bennet continues: The lost sheep of the house of Israel are the ten tribes that were conquered and carried away into captivity by the Assyrians in the Eighth Century B.C. These tribes never returned to Palestine, for they were still lost and dispersed even in Christ’s day. They were still in existence, as proved by Our Lord’s words, for why would He send His disciples to a people who no longer existed? By commanding the disciples to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. He indicated that it is in the and through Israel that God would be primarily working in this age. It is clear that the descendants of the house of Israel must still be fulfilling that purpose in our own day.232 231.

Flavius Josephus is quoted as saying, “…there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond the Euphrates ‘til now and are an immense multitude and not to be estimated by numbers.” (Antiquities of the Jews, Book XI, Chapter V, Section 2). According to the May 2, 1890 edition of the Jewish Chronicle: …Why should they (The House of Israel) have been less tenacious of life than their brethren of Judah? The Scriptures speak of a future restoration of Israel, which is clearly to include both Judah and Ephraim. The problem, then, is reduced to the simplest form. The Ten Tribes are certainly in existence. All that has to be done is to discover which people represent them.233 Dr. Hertz, the late Chief Rabbi of the British Empire wrote as follows on November 18, 1918: The people known at present as Jews are descendants of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin with a certain number of descendants of the tribe of Levi. As far as is known there is no further admixture of other tribes. The ten tribes have been absorbed among the nations of the world. We look forward to the gathering of all the tribes at some future day.234 F.W.C. Neser states: The Prophecies of the Bible will never be interpreted correctly for as long as there is no distinction made between the House of Israel (Ten Tribes) and the House of Judah (Two Tribes). The Bible shall in a great measure remain a closed Book, as far as God’s Plan with the world is concerned, while all the teachings and prophecies concerning Israel, are applied only to the Jew as he is today.235 According to I Kings 11:29-39, it was the northern kingdom of Israel that was nationally separated from the southern kingdom of Judah: I Kings 11:29-39: This is the passage wherein Ahijah the prophet meets Jeroboam on the way to Jerusalem, takes his new garment and rends it into twelve pieces. Ahijah states that The LORD God will rend ten tribes from Solomon for his apostasy into idolatry. As a result, Ahijah has Jeroboam take ten pieces of the cloth to represent the ten tribes which The LORD God has given him. The other two tribes will be preserved for 233. F.W.C. Neser, The "Lost" Ten Tribes of Israel (St. John's: Brawtley Press, 1985), 12. 234. Ibid. 235. Ibid., 13.

King David’s sake and be kept for The House of Judah. Therefore, the ten tribes will become the Northern Kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam, and the two tribes will become the Southern Kingdom of Judah under Rehoboam. The following narrative from Genesis 48, wherein Jacob blesses the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, indicates that the lost tribes of the northern kingdom of Israel may be found in the future: And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. And thy issue, which out begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance (vv. 5-6)…And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near unto him. And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my Fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my Fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. And when Joseph saw that his Father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his Father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head. And Joseph said unto his Father, not so, my Father: for this is the first-born; put thy right hand upon his head. And his Father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh (vv. 13-20). According to J. Bell’s British-Israel Bible Notes for this passage: Jacob blesses the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh (Ephraim first): “as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.” 13, 14: He blessed them under the sign of the cross with blessings to be fulfilled in the Christian dispensation; “guiding his hands wittingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. 15: And he blessed Joseph, and said, God…the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, 16: The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name [Israel] be named upon them, and the name of my Fathers Abraham and Isaac [Saxon]; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.” According to Jacob, there was to be in the Christian dispensation a separate and great independent nation of the stock of Israel. (The multitudinous seed is to come through Joseph). 17-19: Joseph said, “This is the first-born; put thy right hand on his head. And his Father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall 122

be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 20-22: And Israel said unto Joseph, “Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren.236 According to Isaiah and Jeremiah, these “lost tribes of Israel” would occupy “Isles” afar off at some time in the future: Isaiah 41:1: Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. Isaiah 49:1-3: Listen, O isles, unto Me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath He made mention of my name. And He hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand hath He hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in His quiver hath He hid me; And said unto me, Thou art My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” Jeremiah 51:5: My righteousness is near; My salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon Me, and on Mine Arm shall they trust. Jeremiah 31:7-11: For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. According to Amos 9:8-9, these “lost tribes of Israel” might be regarded as the “Gentiles” of the Bible: 236. J. Bell, British-Israel Bible Notes (London, England: R. Banks & Son, 1903), 19.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. The word “nations” has been translated many, different ways from the Hebrew and the Greek into the English in the King James Version.

The Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament defines ethnos (#G1484) as follows: “(1) a multitude associated or living together; (2) a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus; (3) race, nation.”240 According to Ben Williams in his Kingdom Bible Studies: Webster’s New World Dictionary, under the word “Gentile,” shows that the Latin root word gentilis means, “of the same gens, clan, or race. The same dictionary states the following under the words gens and genus: This is also the basis for the word ‘genesis’ 237. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H26. 238. Ibid., G26. 239. Ibid., G29. 240. Joseph H. Thayer, Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers Marketing, LLC, 2017), 168.

which means ‘the coming into being of something; an origin. Gens: “originally, that belonging together by birth or descent.” Genus: “birth, origin, race, species, kind, class.”241 The English word Gentile originates, not from Hebrew or Greek (i.e. not from the Bible text), but from the Roman Latin word gentilis. There is a close similarity between the Latin word gentilis and the Greek word ethnos. Both words refer to a group or groups of people. That could be a family, a group of related families, a tribe or an entire nation. Note the meanings of the words gens and genus are also the basis for “Genesis” meaning “a common beginning.242 The words ethnos and gentilis themselves denote no one particular, group of people. They can refer to any group or groups in general. The context in which these words are used indicate which particular group.243 The original meaning of the English word Gentile, or its Latin root gentilis, are approximately the same. In this respect, the Old English word Gentile would have been comparable with the Greek word ethnos or the Hebrew word goy. In any case, the KJV translators, back in the 1600s, translated these words very inconsistently.244 When one considers the modern concept of the word Gentile, it becomes obvious that a definite change has taken place in dictionary definitions. To say that Gentile means “non-Jew” (which is the predominant usage today) violates the original meaning and intent of the word and its root. There is absolutely no honest way to apply this modern usage of “non-Jew” to the Greek word ethnos or the Hebrew word goy. Doing so has caused a great amount of confusion and misunderstanding.245 Also, the modern definition of the word Gentile has changed, and it has changed people’s concept of God, race, and theology. It has corrupted their understanding of history and Scripture. Churchgoers today are taught error and deception. They’ve been taught that the people of the world are divided into two exclusive racial categories: (1) Jews and (2) Gentiles. There is not one shred of evidence in the Holy Bible to support that myth. It is a lie: a false teaching by which churches have confused English-speaking Christians for centuries. If you’ve been taught that you are a “Gentile” and therefore a “non-Hebrew,” you too have been deceived. Strangely enough, most real Christians are racial 241.

Hebrews and Israelites. But most so-called “Jews” are neither Hebrews, Semites, nor Israelites.246 There were people who knew that there were Israelites at the time of Christ who were outside of Palestine: John 7:32-35 states: The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto Him that sent Me. Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? Will He go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? The Greek word for dispersed is Strong’s Concordance #G1290, diaspora, which means, “a scattering, dispersion of Israelites among foreign nations.”247 The Greek word for Gentiles is Strong’s Concordance #G1672 Hellen, which means: A Greek either by nationality, whether a native of the main land or of the Greek islands or colonies; in a wider sense the name embraces all nations not Jews that made the language, customs, and learning of the Greeks their own; the primary reference is to a difference of religion and worship.248 It is quite obvious from the Text, that the Pharisees knew where the Dispersed Ten Tribes of Israel had gone and had verbally expressed their concerns with regard to that effect, when they questioned if Jesus was actually going to go unto the Dispersed among the Greeks. So, why don’t we believe the Bible as it is stated?

CHAPTER 14 AND I SAY UNTO YOU…I WILL BUILD MY ECCLESIA… Remember that it was Stephen, as he was about to be stoned to death, who declared Israel to the church in the wilderness: This is he (Moses), that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the Mount Sina, and with our Fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: (Acts 7:38). So, since Israel was called out of the nations on Pentecost and given the Law of God, AND the Holy Spirit of YAHWEH was given to the Ecclesia , who was called out from the House of Israel (Gentiles) and the House of Judah (Judahites) on Pentecost as well. Is there only one called out assembly as mentioned above or two as is taught today with the Church being the called-out assembly of God? More on this later… It is interesting to note that the children of Israel went through a physical wilderness, while the Eclessia is going through a spiritual wilderness right now… Dr. Chuck Missler stated that: Epistemology is the study of knowledge, its scope and its limits. We discover that if we know one’s hermeneutics (theory of interpretation), we will be able to predict the eschatology that will result. If one is willing to allegorize the Biblical text (Amillennialism), he will tend towards the left side (liberal) and if one tends to take the text literally (Premillennialism), he will tend towards the right side (conservative). Furthermore, one’s eschatology will also sharpen one’s ecclesiology (The Church in its mystical sense). It is interesting to also note that one’s ecclesiology will, of course, also impact one’s hermeneutics – thus, closing a loop which tends to drive the diligent toward an increasingly literal view as one gains perception into the linguistics.249 In other words, you ecclesiology will determine your eschatology, and, to a certain extent, he is correct! But, what if you are more fundamental than the most conservative evangelical Christian today? What if you only follow the rules of etymology with regard to the original 249.

languages of the Bible? Every translation in the world today that is not in the original language has its problems, especially any of the English translations. That is why it is especially frustrating in this Age of Laodicea that most Christians just rely on the wolf in sheep’s clothing posing as a pastor/shepherd or they attend a Bible study where they use the Not Inspired Version and spew forth their own opinions with regard to what the passage means to them, instead of what the passage originally meant by YAHWEH. Anyway, I’m ranting… So, what is this thing today called the Church? It sure looks like Babylon to me! In Revelation 18:4, a voice from Heaven shouted, “COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE…” But, I’m getting ahead of myself… Wo are these so-called Bishops, Pastors, Elders, Deacons, etc. that are mentioned in the Bible? Is that supposed to be a hierarchy in the Ecclesia? Didn’t Jesus state quite plainly in Matthew 20:25-28: Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles (Nations) exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of Man came not be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His Life a ransom for many. According to what Jesus stated in Matthew 20:25-28, this is an open and shut case – there is not to be any hierarchy among the brethren! So, what we must have today is Babylon the Great! Satan likes to separate and organize the brethren and pit them against each other… Oh, by the way, did you notice the last phrase in verse 28 above? Rather interesting, isn’t it? I think that narrows the gateway to salvation per Matthew 7:13-14, resulting in Jesus stating, I NEVER KNEW YOU in verses 21-23. With regard to the Church, one needs to define the following words: 1. 2.

Church; Pastor; 128

3. 4. 5.

Bishop; Elder; and Deacon.

So, what exactly is the Church? The term, Church, is the Greek word, Ecclesia, Strong’s #G1577 and is defined as: A calling out, i.e. a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation, i.e. Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both; an assembly, church.250 That is the conventional definition of today’s Church. The proper definition is as follows: A called-out assembly of believers in Jesus Christ from the Houses of Israel and Judah. Yahshuah personally used the term, Ecclesia, twice in Matthew and seven times in Revelation, and it is further used seventy times by the New Testament writers.251 The term, Churches, is also the Greek word, Ecclesia, and is personally used by Yahshuah twelve times in Revelation, and twenty-four times by the New Testament writers.252 According to Ben William’s Anti-Thought Control Dictionary: The Controlled Meaning of Church is a building or organization for Christians to meet regularly for singing, praying, and worshipping.253 The True Meaning of the word, Church, comes from the Scottish word, Kirk, and the German word, Kirche, all originate from the Greek word, KURIOKOS, which means, THE LORD’S. A Church is anything belonging to a lord (any lord). The word origin and meaning has no logical connection to its modern-day usage among churchgoers. Its popular usage hails back to the 4th Century when the Roman Emperor Constantine created the state-sanctioned institution of The Church to bring certain religious sects under state control.254 250.

The modern religious use of this word is enigmatic and defies all logic. The English Bible translators substituted the word, Church, for the actual Bible word, ECCLESIA. A Christian Ecclesia is A CALLED OUT CIVIL BODY. In Scripture, it refers to the civil body of called-out followers of Yahshuah. The term is meaningful and should not be ignored or replaced by another word. The word, Church, does not actually appear in the Bible. When it appears in English translations (versions), it is a mistranslation. KURIOKOS (CHURCH) is NOT ECCLESIA! The words are different; the institutions are different. No where in the Bible do we find a Kuriokos. There is only the called-out elect Ecclesia, which unfortunately was mistranslated into Church, changing it in English to a form of state-sanctioned paganism. In the New Testament, Ecclesia, signifying convocation, is the only single word used (translated) for Church. It was the name given to the governmental assembly of the citizens of Athens duly convoked (called-out) by proper officers, and possessing all political power, including even juridical functions. – Encyclopedia Britannica, Ninth Edition (1889)255 With regard to the term, Church Fathers, Ben Williams had this to say: The Controlled Meaning of Church Fathers is the great Bishops and defenders of Christianity during its first seven Centuries. Holy men who preserved, taught, and made application of the word of God from the time of the Apostles to the time that it was canonized and secured by the church.256 The Actual Meaning of the so-called Church Fathers, with the possible exception of one or two of the every earliest, were Romanized change agents who, during the first few Centuries after Christ’s ascension, facilitated the replacement of the faith delivered to the saints over to a Babylonian/Judean paganism via the Church of Rome. They served the Church System, which usurped the original Ecclesia of Christ. The title, Church Fathers, is ignominious on its face, for it indicates a body of men, who bred and birthed a beast offspring. They Fathered the Church System, which conspired with Central Government to confuse and rule the Western world.257 These Fathers are responsible for perverting the Word of God, turning It from Truth to paganized fairy tales; from a Godly schematic of how to live a blessed life under the Reign of Christ and the Ecclesia, to a convoluted and confusing collection of disconnected and meaningless nonsense called Church Doctrine. Thus, they disabled and dispossessed the World of God, leaving government, law, and social order to the exclusive purview of evil men. The Church Fathers (including Constantine) put into place the Church System, with its perverted agenda that still holds sway over the minds and lives of most professing Christians. Most so-called Christians today learn church doctrine, rather than Bible 255. Ibid. 256. Ibid., 9. 257. Ibid.

doctrine. Most people, who claim to be Christians, are actually Churchites. They know the way of the Church, but they know little or nothing of the Way of Christ.258 This is confirmed by Arnold E. Kennedy in his book, The Exclusiveness of Israel, wherein he states the following: The word (Church) originates from the Greek word, kuriakos, which means, Belonging to the Lord. From this word, has developed the German kirche, the Dutch kerke, the Scottish kirk, and the English church. The word is first found in The Great Bible of 1570. In no way does the word originate from ecclesia, even if tradition would like to say that it does.259 Mr. Kennedy goes on to state that: The Old Testament equivalent is the Hebrew word, cahal (or qahal), which means to call or to assemble together, but there is not one place where it is rendered Church. Cahal is used seventy times and is mostly translated as congregation, this being The Congregation of Israel. An interesting feature is that this word is used for those called out of Israel to assemble before the Tabernacle and Temple, and it denies or excludes the mixed multitude (edah – which is also translated as congregation), which comprised of those from other races, who had joined themselves to Israel. In the New Testament, there was a parallel situation of there being a mixed multitude in the Judean nation.260 In The Book of Revelation by R.K. and R.N. Philips, 1992: The term, Ecclesia, is the combination of two Greek words, ek – out of or from and kleis – to call. Ecclesia simply means an assembly, any assembly of people who are called out from other peoples and from which all aliens and slaves have been excluded (see Ellicott’s comments on Matthew 16:18). Hence, it is used of the whole nation of Israel, as distinct from other nations. For those who claim that trying to limit Ecclesia to Israel is a biased view, please read Dr. E.W. Bullinger’s The Apocalypse of the Day of the Lord from which these notes are summarized.261 This is also confirmed by Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary, wherein when one looks up the word, Church, it states see ASSEMBLY and CONGREGATION.262 258.

As one can see, the word, Church, means, belonging to the LORD (YAHWEH), not what history and culture have superimposed on the definition. The next definitions will be easy to define.

If there are not supposed to be any

institutionalized Churches per say, then there should not be any institutionalized Leaders/Positions, such as Pastors, Bishops, Elders, or Deacons. What do these words/titles actually mean? According to Spiros Zodhiates’ The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament, the following words means: Pastor:

Poimen,263 #G4166 Shepherd, one who generally cares for flocks. Jesus Christ as the Great Shepherd, who watches over and provides for the welfare of the Ecclesia, His flock. (Matthew 26:31; Mark 14:27 quoted from Zechariah 13:7; John 10:2, 11, 12, 14, 16; Hebrews 13:20; I Peter 2:25.) Deriv: archipoimen264 (#G750), chief shepherd; poimaino265 (#G4165) to tend, take general care of the flock; poimne266 (#G4167) and poimnion (4168), flock. Syn:

hegemon267 (#G2232), a leader; archegos268 (#G747), leader; presbuteros269 (#G4245), elder, spiritual leader i.e. old man; didaskalos270 (#G1320), teacher;

episkopos271 (#G1985), overseer, superintendent. Deacon:

Diakonos,272 #G1249 (diakonos) A technical term side by side with episkopos or overseer (I Timothy 3:8, 12; Philippians 1:1)

As one can see, all of these positions are associated with shepherding a flock of sheep. Yahshuah is our Great Shepherd who watches over Israel (His Flock) all the time and has died for them (the many), so that is why all of Israel is saved per Isaiah 45:17, 25; and Romans 11:26. All of these so-called Churchianity positions do not exist; they are part and parcel of Babylon the Great! All of these terms, if Biblically defined, are older people teaching younger people the Truth of God’s Word and making sure that True Biblical Doctrine is being administered in each Ecclesia. That is why Yahshuah asks the question in Luke 18:8, “…When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” Next, when did the Ecclesia start? According to Doug Krieger: Jesus was born on Passover 1 B.C. to 1 A.D., and thus, was 9 months old at the end of 1 A.D. (July 1 through December 31). If we take the years 2 A.D. through to the end of 32 A.D., Jesus would have been 32 years and 9 months of age and then with the 3 months into 33 A.D. (January, February, March) unto Passover, wherein He was cutoff, would have made Him precisely 33 or, put another way: JESUS DIED ON HIS BIRTHDAY…As such, Jesus ministered to us from Tishrei 10 (The Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur), 29 A.D. and ended on Nissan 14 (Passover), 33 A.D. – exactly 1,260 Days/42 Months/3 ½ Years!273 Yahshuah stated in Matthew 16:18: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (Yahshuah) I will build My Ecclesia; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Paul went on to state in Colossians 1:18: 271. Ibid., G35. 272. Ibid., G22. 273. Douglas W.

And He (Yahshuah) is the head of the body, the Ecclesia: who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. Biblically, Yahshuah is the Head Shepherd of His Ecclesia, and as such, He called out Its first members in Matthew 10:2-4: Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the sone of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip,, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. According to Matthew 10:6-42, our Head Shepherd Yahshuah admonished His Ecclesia (the Disciples) while He was ON THE EARTH to: BUT GO RATHER TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold nor silver, nor brass in your purses, nor script for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thense. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, YE SHALL NOT HAVE GONE OVER THE CITIES OF ISRAEL, TILL THE SON OF MAN BE COME. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear that preach ye upon the 134

housetops. AND FEAR NOT THEM WHICH KILL THE BODY, BUT ARE NOT ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL: BUT RATHER FEAR HIM WHICH IS ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL AND BODY IN HELL. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in Heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which in Heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on Earth: I came not to send peace, but A SWORD. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he that taketh not his cross and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it. He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth him that sent Me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. However, AFTER His Resurrection AND BEFORE His Ascension into Heaven, our Head Shepherd admonished His Ecclesia (the disciples and us today) in Matthew 28:18-20) saying: ALL POWER is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth. 1. Go ye therefore, and 2. Teach all nations (Israelites), 3. Baptizing them in the name of: a. The Father, and of b. The Son, and of c. The Holy Ghost: 4. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and 5. Lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world (age). Please note that Yahshuah set the precedence, as Paul reiterated in Romans 1:16, “For I am NOT ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Judahite first, and also to the Greek.” Yahshuah was all about saving His own people (the Judahites) and even admonished the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Scribes, and the Essenes (the religious entities of His day) in Matthew 16:2-3, saying:

135

When it is evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowring. O YE HYPOCRITES, YE CAN DISCERN THE FACE OF THE SKY; BUT CAN YE NOT DISCERN THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES? All of the religious entities of His day KNEW that Yahshuah was the Messiah, based upon the miracles that He performed that ONLY YAHWEH could do: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Raise the dead (Matthew 9:23-26); Heal the blind (Matthew 20:29-34); Heal the deaf (Mark 7:31-37); Heal the paralytic (Matthew 9:1-8); Heal the leper (Matthew 8:1-4); Cast out demons (Matthew 12:22-23); Cast out a legion of demons (Matthew 8:28:34); Calm a stormy sea (Matthew 8:23-27); Feed 4,000 people (Matthew 15:32-39); and Feed 5,000 people (Matthew 14:15-21).

And remember also that Yahshuah stated that He could only do that which He has seen His Father do as stated in John 5:19-20: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth: and He will shew Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. WHY? (Because) I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE. (John 10:30.) Does the Ecclesia really know what time it is? As a side note, according to Lt. Col. F. Roberts, it is interesting to note that there were 153 special individuals, who received direct blessing(s)/healing(s) from our Lord Yahshuah.274 This list does not include Zacharias, Elisabeth, John the Baptist, Joseph, Simeon, or Anna, as these 274. E.W. Bullinger, Number in Scripture: Its Supernatural Design and Spiritual Significance (Grand Rapids, MI: Kregel Classics, 1967), 276–78.

Lazarus (John 11); (1) 48. Mary, the mother of Jesus (John 19:25); (1) TOTAL = 153275 How many fishes did Simon Peter draw from the net in John 21:11? 153! According to E.W. Bullinger, states that, “this is the lesson of the 153 great fishes.”276 So, to recount, our only “Shepherd” is Yahshuah; the first Ecclesia was made up of the twelve Apostles, who were admonished to preach to the House of Judah first, then to the House of Israel; and the religious entities of His time did not know, acknowledge, and/or want to acknowledge the times in which they lived, i.e. they did not want to lose the power in which they had because of their special deal with the Roman Empire. How is it that Jesus is the Head Shepherd of His Ecclesia? According to Acts 2:47b, “And the Lord added to the Ecclesia daily such as should be saved.” Well, to add to something, it has to already be in existence, correct? So, that makes the ministry of Jesus the beginning of the Ecclesia. So, who is Jesus truly addressing in His parables? REREAD the parables from the perspective that Jesus is addressing the House of Judah and the lost sheep of the House of Israel, and that the Kingdom of God is on this Earth. For example, The LORD God states in Isaiah 6:910: And He (The LORD God) said: Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Jesus Christ, The Son of God, reiterates this in Matthew 13:13-17: 275. Ibid. 276. Ibid., 276.

138

Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. So, why would there be people that YAHWEH and YAHSHUAH would not want to be saved? Remember the Potter and the Clay??? The Tares and The Wheat??? Finally, how long will the Ecclesia be on the earth, and how and when does the Ecclesia Age end? As previously discussed, the Ecclesia started with Jesus Christ, at the beginning of His ministry, which started on Tishrei 10 (The Day of Atonement), 29 A.D. And, it was also our Lord and Saviour who: 1. 2. 3.

Was/Is in the midst of the Ecclesia Age (Revelation 1:12-16); Outlined the Ecclesia Age (Revelation 2-3); and Stated that He will come back for us in the event known as the Harpazo (Strong’s #G726, which means, “to seize (in various applications); to catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).”277

So, Yahshuah, the Head of the Ecclesia, created the Ecclesia, was/is in the midst of His Ecclesia, outlined Its History in advance, and will come back for us. But, before getting into the Harpazo, one has to define/discuss the Ecclesia Age, i.e. known in secular history circles as the Church Age. According to Tim LaHaye: The seven periods of the Church Age are as follows: 1. Ephesus: The Apostolic Church (30-100); 2. Smyrna: The Persecuted Church (100-313); 3. Pergamos: The State Church (313-590); 4. Thyatira: The Papal Church (590-1517); 277. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, G13.

Sardis: The Reformed Church Philadelphia: The Missionary Church Laodicea: The Apostate Church

(1517-1730); (1730-1900); (1900-PRESENT).278

According to Jacob Prasch: These seven churches, which actually existed in the first century (things which you have seen,) also represent seven broad types of churches that can exist at any time in history (things which are,) and seven generally overlapping periods of church history (things which will take place). These seven letters to the seven churches of Asia can be applied in four main ways: 1. 2. 3. 4.

They existed literally and historically at the end of the 1st Century A.D.; They are seven types of churches, which exist at any time throughout history; They represent seven types of churches that will exist at the end of the age; and They correspond quite well to the seven periods of church history.279

But, to understand the Ecclesia Age, WHO stands in the midst of IT? In Revelation 1:19, John was told by Yahshuah to: 1. 2. 3.

Write the things which thou hast seen, and The things which are, and The things which shall be hereafter.

According to Clarence Larkin: The things which thou hast SEEN, refers to the vision of the Son of Man in the midst of the Lampstands (Revelation 1:10-20), The things which ARE, refers to the messages to the Seven Churches (Revelation 2:1-3:22), the things which SHALL BE HEREAFTER, refers to those events AFTER the Church Period ends (Revelation 4:1-22:21).280 Larkin further divides the Book of Revelation into “Seven Sevens:”281 1. The Seven Churches; 2. The Seven Seals; 3. The Seven Trumpets; 4. The Seven Personages; 5. The Seven Vials; 278.

The Seven Dooms; and The Seven New Things.

Larkin’s Classical Dispensational viewpoint is the standard that is used to interpret the Book of Revelation today, whether it is by Mark Hitchcock, Tim LaHaye, Chuck Missler, or John Walvoord. The King James Version translates Revelation 1:12 as: And I (John) turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. However, the International Standard Version translates it as: Then I (John) turned to see who was talking to me, and when I turned I saw seven gold lamp stands.282 Larkin states: A candlestick requires a light such as a candle, which is self-consuming, while a ‘lampstand’ is for the support of a lamp whose wick instead of burning away is fed from the oil within. In the Scriptures, oil is emblematic of the Holy Spirit, and as Jesus Himself interprets the ‘lampstands’ as meaning the Seven Churches to whom He was about to send messages, we see that Jesus looks upon the churches as not the LIGHT, but simply the ‘LIGHT HOLDER.’283 John Walvoord, as well as the International Standard Version 2.0, state that: It should be translated as seven golden lampstands, and that there are seven separate lampstands each made of gold and arranged in a circle.284 This, of course, is a reference to the Seven Churches, of which John saw in Revelation 1:13-16: And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; And His feet like unto fine brass, as if They burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of 282. Welty et al., The Holy Bible, 3189. 283. Larkin, The Book of Revelation-A, 17. 284. John Walvoord, The Revelation of Jesus Christ (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1989), 43.

many waters. And He had in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. So, John sees the glorified Yahshuah. David Hamblin states that: The vision not only conveys aspects of Jesus’ character and majesty, but also flavors each of the church’s letters by giving insights into the church’s favor or disfavor, depending on which detail is used.285 Mr. Hamblin further states the following that: 1. 2. 3. 4.

5. 6. 7. 8.

The garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle shows Christ as humanity’s high priest (Hebrews 3:1; 6:20); His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow, portray Christ as a Man full of wisdom of the ages (Leviticus 19:32); His eyes were as a flame of fire, indicates that Christ constantly seeks the truth and executes judgment (I Peter 3:12; Isaiah 10:17); His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace, demonstrate how Christ destroys Satan and sin, while simultaneously protecting the righteous from the furnaces of persecution (John 3:14; Exodus 38:3; Number 21:9; Matthew 27:46; Daniel 3:20-23). His voice as the sound of many waters suggests that He is the source of the water of life (John 3:14; Revelation 21:6); Out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword is the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; Luke 4:4; Deuteronomy 10:16); His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength shows Christ’s close fellowship with His Father (Exodus 24:29-35; Matthew 17:1-2); Finally, the seven golden candle lamp stands portray Christ as the church’s close friend and protector.286

Mr. Hamblin further postulates the following in his book that: 1. 2. 3.

Jesus Christ was a prince in Chapter 1; Satan and his angels rebelled at the idea of Christ becoming the King of Kings, and are subsequently thrown out of heaven in Chapter 12; and Jesus Christ is crowned as the King of Kings in Chapter 19.287

Regardless of how one interprets the Ecclesias or the Ecclesia Age, the seven lampstands definitely represent the seven Ecclesias, and that Jesus Christ is definitely standing in the midst of 285. Hamblin, Unveiling the Mysteries, 85. 286. Ibid. 287. Ibid.

them. Yahshuah is the light of the world (John 8:12), and it is the task of the Ecclesia to hold Him forth before the world, and that the Ecclesia is to proclaim this light of Yahshuah to the world (Matthew 18:18-20).

Therefore, the Ecclesias receive their light from Yahshuah.

Unless

Yahshuah stands in the midst of the Ecclesia, the Ecclesia will have no light. The Ecclesia must see to it that Yahshuah is in its midst, as well as proclaim the light of Yahshuah to the world. However, we live in the age of Babylonian Churchiantiy and the Laodicean Babylonian Church is neither hot nor cold; it is lukewarm…Even so, come Lord Jesus! Yahshuah warned His Ecclesia in John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world, ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world. The word, tribulation, is the Hebrew word, tsarah,288 (Strong’s #H6869, which means, “Adversity, affliction, anguish, distress, tribulation, trouble,”) and is the Greek word, thlipsis,289 (Strong’s #G2347, which means, “Afflicted, anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, trouble,”), which is used by both Paul and John all throughout the New Testament.290 Could Yahshua be referring to the 10 Days of Awe, which fall between the Feast of Trumpets (1/2 Tishrei) and the Day of Atonement (10 Tishrei)? Most Biblical and some secular historians have pointed to these 10 days of tribulation, as stated by our Lord and Saviour in Revelation 2:10 (ye shall have tribulation ten days…), as having been fulfilled via the persecutions of the True Ecclesia by the 10 Roman Emperors, i.e.: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Throughout the Church Age, the True Ecclesia has been persecuted by the Jews and the Roman Emperors, but especially by the Roman Popes during the Dark Ages. According to Dr. Wallace, “The Dark Ages would last for about eleven and a half Centuries, from the middle of the 5th Century to the beginning of the 16th Century.”292 Dr. Wallace then goes on to quote J.M. Carroll from his book, The Trail of Blood: I again call your attention to those upon whom the hard hand of persecution fell. If fifty million died of persecution during the 1,200 years of persecution during the ‘Dark Ages,’ as history seems positively to teach – then they died faster than an average of four million every one hundred years. That seems almost beyond the limit of human conception. As before mention, this iron hand, dripping with martyr blood, fell upon Paulicians, Arnoldists, Henreicians, Petro Brussians, Albigenses, Waldenses, and Ana-Baptists – of course much harder upon some than others.293 This period of Babylonian Church History is addressed by Yahshuah in His Letters to Pergamos (The State Church: 313-590) and Thyatira (The Papal Church: 590-1517). From a secular historical perspective, the world was in upheaval with two major events: 1.

By 476 A.D., the Western Roman Empire was invaded by Barbarians, and, as a

result, was broken up into 10 kingdoms. Sir Isaac Newton argued that these 10 kingdoms were the 10 horns of Daniel 8, and consisted of: a. b. c. d.

The kingdom of the Vandals and Alans in Spain and Africa; The kingdom of the Suevians in Spain; The kingdom of the Visigoths; The kingdom of the Alans in Gallia;

e. f. g. h. i. j.

The kingdom of the Burgundians; The kingdom of the Franks; The kingdom of the Britains; The kingdom of the Hunns; The kingdom of the Lombards; and The kingdom of Ravenna.294

Sir Isaac went on to state that the Pope, representing the little horn, i.e. the Antichrist, uprooted three horns: a. b. c.

The Exarchate of Ravenna; The Kingdom of the Lombards; and The Senate and Dukedom of Rome.

This is whereby the Pope “acquired Peter’s Patrimony out of their dominions; and thereby rose up as a temporal Prince or King, or horn of the Fourth Beast.”295 So, from his perspective, Sir Isaac Newton believed that the Pope/Papacy was the 11th Horn, thus representing the Antichrist, and obviously, Satan has had “an Antichrist” waiting in the wings throughout history for when Jesus Christ returns. These kingdoms were later re-formed and eventually reorganized into a new “Holy Roman Empire.” It is interesting to note that until the 1500’s, the Ecclesia historically recognized that the Pope/Papacy was the Antichrist system. What has happened since? How did the Pope go from being the Antichrist in the 16th Century to being a Brother in Christ in the 21st Century? 2.

In 623 A.D., a man by the name of Muhammad came on the scene in Arabia and

began to push his new political-religious ideology, Islam (which means submission), a culmination of Jewish, Christian, and ancient pagan Arab beliefs. At first, this ideology was not accepted, but eventually, due to massive proselytizing through violence and threat of death, Islam eventually 294.

spread and conquered the lands of Arabia, the Middle East, and Northern Africa. Prior to 1924, Islam was spread through “Violent Jihad.” Today, Islam is spread through “Cultural Jihad,” wherein Muslims: a. b. c.

Immigrate into Western nations; Infiltrate those same Western governments, which will eventually lead to the establishment of a Caliphate, which implements Sharia Law.

Will the world see a Neo-Ottoman Empire in the near future that has nuclear weapons? From an ecclesiastical historical perspective, the rise of the paganized Babylonian Church took place, during this same time period, wherein “the Church became more Roman and less Christian in its practices:”296 220: 300: 312: 320: 325: 375: 380:

Based upon the above list, which is not all-inclusive, it is not wonder why Dave Hund argues that the Roman Catholic Church is The Woman Who Rides The Beast in Revelation 17, wherein he states that: The leaders of the Reformation were certain that she (The Woman) represented the Roman Catholic Church in general and the Pope in particular…and that the vision of The Woman riding the Beast provides insights into occurrences which have shaped world history in the past and which will profoundly determine human destiny in the future. She 297. Ibid., 59, 66. 298. Noe, An Exegetical Basis, 78–79.

sits, in fact, not only astride the Beast, but upon the culmination of centuries of relation Bible prophecy.299 With regard to this same time period, Frank Viola and George Barna have written a book entitled, Pagan Christianity: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices, wherein they quote G.W.F Hegel, who states, “What history teaches us is that men have never learned anything from it.”300 The following summary is neither complete nor detailed. Note that “all of the practices are postbiblical, postapostolic, and mostly influenced by pagan culture:”301 The Church Building: The Church Building: First constructed under Constantine around 327. The earliest church buildings were patterned after the Roman basilicas, which were modeled after Greek temples. The Sacred Space: Christians borrowed this idea from the pagans in the 2nd and 3rd Centuries. The burial places of the martyrs were regarded as “sacred.” In the 4th Century, church buildings were erected on these burial places, thus creating “sacred” buildings. The Pastor’s Chair: Derived from the cathedra, which was the bishop’s chair or throne. This chair replaced the seat of the judge in the Roman basilica. Tax-Exempt Status for Churches and Christian Clergy Emperor Constantine gave churches tax-exempt status in 323. He made clergy exempt from paying taxes in 313, a privilege that pagan priests enjoyed. Stained-Glass Windows: First introduced by Gregory of Tours and brought to perfection by Sugar (1081-1151), abbot of St. Denis. Gothic Cathedrals: 12th Century. These edifices were built according to the pagan philosophy of Plato (on ley lines). 299.

148

The Steeple: Rooted in ancient Babylonian and Egyptian architecture and philosophy, the steeple was a medieval invention that was popularized and modernized by Sir Christopher Wren in London around 1666. The Steeple is an ancient phallic symbol, i.e. an obelisk. The Pulpit: Used in the Christian church as early as 250. It came from the Greek ambo, which was a pulpit used by both Greeks and Jews for delivering monologues. The Pew: Evolved from the 13th through the 18th Centuries England. The Order of Worship: The Sunday Morning Order of Worship: Evolved from Gregory’s Mass in the 6th Century and the revisions made by Luther, Calvin, the Puritans, the Free Church tradition, the Methodists, the Frontier-Revivalists, and the Pentecostals. The Centrality of the Pulpit in the Order of Worship: Martin Luther in 1523. Two Candles Placed on Top of the “Communion Table” and Incense Burning: Candles were used in the ceremonial court of Roman Emperors in the 4th Century. The Communion table was introduced by Ulrich Zwingli in the 16th Century. Taking the Lord’s Supper: Ulrich Zwingli in the 16th Century. The Congregation Standing and Singing When the Clergy Enters: Borrowed from the ceremonial court of Roman Emperors in the 4th Century. Brought into the Protestant liturgy by John Calvin. Coming to Church with a Somber/Reverent Attitude: Based on the medieval view of piety. Brought into the Protestant service by John Calvin and Martin Bucer. Condemnation and Guilt over Missing a Sunday Service: 17th Century New England Puritans. The Long “Pastoral Prayer” Preceding the Sermon: 17th Century Puritans. The Pastoral Prayer Uttered in Elizabethan English: 18th Century Methodists.

149

The Goal of All Preaching to Win Individual Souls: 18th Century Frontier-Revivalists The Altar Call: Instituted by 17th Century Methodists and popularized by Charles Finney. The Church Bulletin (Written Liturgy): Originated in 1884 with Albert Blake Dick’s stencil duplicating machine. The “Solo” Salvation Hymn, Door-to-Door Witnessing, and Evangelistic Advertising/Campaigning: D.L. Moody. The Decision Card: Invented by Absalom B. Earle (1812-1895) and popularized by D.L. Moody. Bowing Heads with Eyes Closed and Raising the Hand in Response to a Salvation Message: Billy Graham in the 20th Century. “The Evangelization of the World in One Generation” Slogan: John Mott around 1888. Solo or Choral Music Played during the Offering: 20th Century Pentecostals. The Sermon: The Contemporary Sermon: Borrowed from the Greek sophists, who were masters at oratory and rhetoric. John Chrysostom and Augustine popularized the Greco-Roman homily (sermon) and made it a central part of the Christian faith. The One-Hour Sermon, Sermon Crib Notes, and the Four-Part Sermon Outline: 17th Century Puritans. The Pastor: The Single Bishop (Predecessor of the Contemporary Pastor): Ignatius of Antioch in early 2nd Century. Ignatius’ model of one-bishop rule did not prevail in the churches until the 3rd Century. The “Covering” Doctrine: Cyprian of Carthage, a former pagan orator. Revived under Juan Carlos Ortiz from Argentina and the “Fort Lauderdale Five: from the United States, creating the so-called “Shepherding-Discipleship Movement” in the 1970’s. 150

Hierarchal Leadership: Brought into the church by Constantine in the 4th Century. This was the leadership style of the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans. Clergy and Laity: The word laity first appears in the writings of Clement of Rome (d. 100). Clergy first appears in Tertullian. By the 3rd Century, Christian leaders were universally called clergy. Contemporary Ordination: Evolved from the 2nd Century to the 4th Century. It was taken from the Roman custom of appointing men to civil office. The idea of the ordained minister as the “holy man of God” can be traced to Augustine, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Chrysostom. The Title “Pastor”: Catholic priests who became Protestant ministers were not universally called pastors until the 18th Century under the influence of Lutheran Pietists. Sunday Morning Costumes: Christians Wearing Their “Sunday Best” for Church: Began in the late 18th Century with the Industrial Revolution and became widespread in the mid-19th Century. The practice is rooted in the emerging middle-class effort to become like their wealthy aristocrat contemporaries. Clergy Attire: Began in 330 when Christian clergy started wearing the garb of Roman officials. By the 12th Century, the clergy began wearing everyday street clothes that distinguished them from the people. The Evangelical Pastor’s Suit: A descendant of the black scholar’s gown worn by Reformation ministers, the black lounge suit of the 20th Century became the typical costume of the contemporary pastor. The Clerical (Backwards) Collar: Invented by Rev. Dr. Donald McLeod of Glasgow in 1865. Ministers of Music: The Choir: Provoked by Constantine’s desire to mimic the professional music in Roman imperial ceremonies. In the 4th Century, the Christians borrowed the choir idea from the choirs used in Greek dramas and Greek temples. The Boys Choir: Began in the 4th Century, borrowed from the boys’ choirs used by the pagans. 151

Funeral Processions and Orations: Borrowed from Greco-Roman paganism in the 3rd Century. The Worship Team: Calvary Chapel in 1965, patterned after secular rock concerts. Tithing and Clergy Salaries: Tithing: Did not become a widespread Christian practice until the 8th Century. The tithe was taken from the 10 percent rent charge used in the Roman Empire and later justified using the Old Testament. Clergy Salaries: Instituted by Constantine in the 4th Century. The Collection Plate: The alms dish appeared in the 14th Century. Passing a collection plate began in 1662. The Usher: Began with Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603). The predecessor of the usher is the church porter, a position that can be traced back to the 3rd Century. Baptism and The Lord’s Supper: Infant Baptism: Rooted in the superstitious beliefs that pervaded the Greco-Roman culture, it was brought into the Christian faith in the late 2nd Century. By the 5th Century, it replaced adult baptism. Sprinkling Replacing Immersion: Began in the late Middle Ages in the Western churches. Baptism Separated from Conversion: Began in the early 2nd Century as a result of the legalistic view that baptism was the only medium for the forgiveness of sins. The “Sinner’s Prayer”: Originated with D.L. Moody and made popular in the 1950s through Billy Graham’s Peace with God tract and later with Campus Crusade for Christ’s Four Spiritual Laws. Use of the Term “Personal Saviour”: Spawned in the mid-1800s by the Frontier-Revivalist influence and popularized by Charles Fuller (1887-1968).

152

The Lord’s Supper Condensed from a Full “Agape” Meal to Only the Cup and the Bread: The late 2nd Century as a result of pagan ritual influences. Christian Education: The Catholic Seminary: The first seminary began as a result of the Council of Trent (1545-1563). The curriculum was based on the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, which was a blending of Aristotle’s philosophy, Neoplatonic philosophy, and Christian doctrine. The Protestant Seminary: Began in Andover, Massachusetts, in 1808. Its curriculum, too, was built on the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. The Bible College: Influenced by the revivalism of D.L. Moody, the first two Bible colleges were the Missionary Training Institute (Nyack College, New York) in 1882 and Moody Bible Institute (Chicago) in 1886. The Sunday School: Created by Robert Raikes from Britain in 1780. Raikes did not found the Sunday school for the purpose of religious instruction. He founded it to teach poor children the basics of education. The Youth Pastor: Developed in urban churches in the late 1930s and 1940s as a result of seeking to meet the needs of a new sociological class called “teenagers.” Re-Approaching the New Testament: Paul’s Letters Combined into a Canon and Arranged according to Descending Length: Early 2nd Century. Chapter Numbers Placed in the New Testament: University of Paris professor Stephen Langton in 1227. Verses Added to New Testament Chapters: Printer Robert Stephanus in 1551.302 302. Ibid., 271–75.

153

As a result of the paganism that is free flowing in today’s Laodicean Babylonian Church, Frank Viola and George Barna suggest the following:303 1. 2. 3. 4.

A New Approach to Worship; A New Approach to Spiritual Growth; A New Approach to Managing Resources; and A New Look at Your Identity.

Eric Jon Phelps goes one step further and accuses the Papacy of creating Islam in 622 A.D. in order to persecute and murder the true Christ believing Christians since the 7th Century A.D., as well as accusing the Jesuits of having its tentacles into every world government and corporation since the Sixteenth Century.304 In other words, any Christians or infidels that Islam could not persecute or kill, the Jesuits would have the other world governments and corporations finish the job. It is interesting to note, based upon You Tube videos, Mr. Phelps further believes that the Vatican, i.e. Pope Francis specifically: 1.

Will celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation by bringing all religions (religious leaders) together to sign a Concordat, wherein all religious believers are brothers in Christ; and

2.

Will create a Sunni Islamic Caliphate.

In other words, Mr. Phelps believes that Pope Francis is on his way to creating a One World Religion and a New World Order. Sound familiar? By the way, Shi’ite Islam was never meant to have existed… Avi Lipkin had stated that former President Barack Obama had three agendas: 1. 2.

Change The United States from a Christian nation to an Islamic nation; Destroy the Shi’ite regime in Iran and replace it with a Sunni regime; and

303. Ibid., 254–59. 304. Eric Jon Phelps, Vatican Assassins Volumes I-IV (Newmanstown, PA: Lowvehm, 2009).

154

3.

Destroy Israel.305

As a result, Mr. Lipkin believed that former President Obama signed the agreement with Iran in order to paint Israel into a corner, whereby Israel would unilaterally attack Iran, thus bringing an Iranian nuclear response. Hence, both nations would be destroyed, thus bring about a Sunni Caliphate, i.e. the Neo-Ottoman Empire.306 It is interesting to note that ISIS is doing what past Islamists have always done, i.e. killing Christians in the Middle East, and the World, yet they have not touched Israel…Rather interesting, don’t you think? As of January 2020, The United States under President Donald Trump and Iran have exchanged barrages of missiles, but not yet declaring war. All the while, President Recept Tayyip Erdogdan of Turkey is waiting in the wings to become the new Caliph of the Neo-Ottoman Empire. So, will a Neo-Ottoman Empire rise from the ashes of history? Or, will it be the 12th Imam, The Mahdi of Shi’ite lore?307 More on this later… However, with all that being said, Dr. J.P. Moreland claims that there were: Two major developments which emerged in the late 19th Century that contributed to the loss of the Christian mind in America: 1.

The legacy of the Pilgrims and Puritans waned; and

2.

New movements emerged from which the evangelical church has never fully recovered: the emergence of anti-intellectualism and evangelical withdrawal.308

155

Was this the beginning of the Age of Laodicea? Well, according to Dr. Moreland, the Church went from Intellectualism (most pastors pre-1900 were the most intellectual in town, i.e. heads of universities) to Emotionalism, i.e. the Great Awakening brought in emotions (the feelings in the heart, i.e. altar calls with soft music). The Great Awakening also brought about burned over districts, wherein areas of the country had been burned over by revivals and emotionalism, and, as a result, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witness, Mormonism, and other cults in general, grew in these areas. As a result of the thousands that were saved to Yahshuah, the Church developed an uneducated clergy, among all the Christian denominations. In other words, IF a person felt called to preach, THEN that person could be ordained and given a church to pastor, i.e. one could be dumb as a goose, and not be educated in the original Biblical languages, and still pastor a church. Sound familiar? Academically, IF one were going to teach history or science, one would have to be educated in that discipline. However, IF one were going to pastor a church, all one had to do was to be sincere and feel called. The Great Awakening accomplished only half of the Great Commission, by bringing people to salvation; however, it did not continue with discipleship, which leads us to how the Church works today. To note, this Author is not disparaging that fact that thousands, perhaps millions, were saved to Yahshuah during this time period. However, this Author is stating that of those saved, those who were called to be pastors, were NOT educated in the original languages of the Bible, and therefore could not teach in context, but taught from the heart. Dr. J.P. Moreland quotes historian George Marsden who said it best that, “Anti-intellectualism was a feature of American revivalism.”309 309. Ibid.

156

As a result, in 1859, the Church in America was attacked by Darwinism. From 1900-1920, the liberals attacked the North, and the Scopes Trial (Darwinism) attacked the South. Ultimately the pastorate in America caved to Darwinism, and the Church started its decline, as God was replaced by this pseudo-science that required far more faith than that of Creationism.310 As a result of this decline, came the degradation of morality in the United States. In retrospect, briefly: 1930: John Dewey, the father of modern secular humanism, instituted the modern U.S. educational framework.311 1948: In McCollum v. Board of Education, the practice of having religious instructors from different denominations to enter public schools to offer religious lessons during the school day is invalidated.312 1962: In Engle v. Vitale, school sponsored prayer is outlawed in U.S. schools.313 1963: In Abington School District v. Schempp, daily reading of the Bible is outlawed in U.S. schools.314 1968: In Epperson v. Arkansas, the statute prohibiting the teaching of evolution was overturned.315 1973: Roe v. Wade declares that abortion is the law of the land and has been exported to all nations who do business with the United States. (Remember, Israel sacrificed Its young to Moloch…)316 1980: The names of the LORD God and Jesus Christ are outlawed at all formal military functions.

1987: In Edwards v. Aguillard, required teaching of both evolution and creationism is overturned, concluding that the law impermissibly promoted a particular religious belief, i.e. The Creator’s Name is outlawed in U.S. school science classes.317 From 1990 to 2016, U.S. Presidents, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama, have believed that in order to have peace in the Middle East, Israel must return to its 1967 boarders and apportion it out to Israel’s enemies, i.e. the Muslims. With each attempt to divide the Land of Israel, a natural catastrophe has happened to the United States within minutes/hours of the attempt.318 However, from 2016 to the Present, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has done the following for Israel: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

In 2018, He moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, thus recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In 2019, He gave the Golan Heights to Israel. In 2019, He “cut-off” aid to the Palestinians in order to bring them to the “peacetable.” In 2019, He is moving toward a major war with Iran. In January 2020, He used a Reaper Drone to take out Iran’s #2 Man, General Solemani. In January 2020, both The United States and Iran have traded barrages of missiles between them in Iraq and Iran.

Sound familiar to anyone? Additionally, during this time period, each of the above-mentioned U.S. Administrations (with the exception of President Trump) has further kicked God out of the American culture: 1992: In Lee v. Weisman, school-sponsored prayer delivered by invited clergy at a school commencement is prohibited. In other words, the name of The LORD God is outlawed at graduation ceremonies in U.S. schools.319 317. 482 U.S. 578 (1987); 107 S. Ct. 2573; 96 L. Ed. 2d 510; 1987 U.S. LEXIS 2729. 318.

2000: In Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, student recited prayers are prohibited at high school football games.320 2000: In Baker v.

Hostility against Christians; and Emergent Church Values.326

Pastor Shearer states that: From 1960 to the early 1980’s people were out front with the Gospel, and were interested in Bible Prophecy. However, they have declined exponentially since then. With these declinations, came the rise in: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Hatred of Israel; Anti-Semitism; Immorality; Hostility against Christians; and since 1980, The Birth and Rise of the Emergent Church Movement.327

Pastor Shearer further states that since the beginning of the 1960’s, the Evangelical Church has evolved through five distinct eras, each of which has been formed largely by the play between the previously mentioned seven inter-related trends that characterize both the lead-up to the Tribulation (Matthew 24:7-8) and the Tribulation itself: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1950’s – mid-1960’s: 1970’s: 1980’s: 1990’s: 2000 – Present:

Lethargy/Routine; Revival; Demise; Withdrawal into a Defensive Posture; and Growing Irrelevance.328

Because of these trends, Pastor Shearer believes that: With the little willingness on the part of Church leaders to acknowledge the deleterious impact of those changes, the result has been quite predictable: the Evangelical Church has continued to lose both its vitality and its relevance.329 So, by the Church: 1. Not being Biblically educated; 2. Wholly relying on emotions to bring people to Jesus Christ; 326.

Not following Biblical prophecy; Taking Go out of our culture; and ultimately Not following what the original languages truly mean (See #1).

To add to all of this, there is an ecumenical retreat for both men and women called Tres Dias, for teens it is called Vida Nueva. This Author was invited on such a retreat through a local church in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. It’s number just so happened to be the 66th Men’s Tres Dias Retreat, (May 18-21, 2017) with the theme, ‘Put On The Full Armor Of God!’ It was a four day/three-night retreat (Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) without a watch or cellphone and no access to the outside world. I wanted to see for myself just what this was all about. I drove to the church parking lot, where I left my SUV, and boarded the church bus with my bag for the weekend with another gentlemen, who was waiting. We still had our watches and cellphones at this point, so no worries. The retreat was about an hour away. As we drove up, there were men with bright colored leys around their neck, some with guitars, singing a welcome song, which, of course, made me somewhat discombobulated. I was totally unsettled and unable to get a hold of my surroundings at first. There were other gentlemen there as well looking on in amazement as I, so we grouped together, and started chatting. After the singing, the men who greeted us with song and open arms, took our luggage to our rooms. All weekend long, we were served and waited on. We were never to do anything for ourselves, even get our own food. It was quite an unreal experience. Anyway, we were taken to eat dinner, where we were served, and there was a “proctor/leader” at each table to make sure that the conversation flowed, and everyone got to know each other – at least 7 or 8 men maximum. And, of course, it was all you could eat. Then, we were escorted to the main room, The Royal Room, where all weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) activities would take place. The men

161

in charge of this Tres Dias weekend introduced themselves, and then we introduced ourselves. It was at this time, that our watches and cellphones were collected for the weekend. Surprise, surprise. Access to the outside world had been cutoff, all so that you could “focus on your walk with God…” I was mentally prepared for this, as I had been forewarned. If one is forewarned of any situation, one can prepare mentally for it, and survive it to the end… Once they collected our possessions, we were escorted to our rooms for “quiet time.” Absolutely no talking with our roommate, but we could read our Bible and talk with God. Then, go to bed. “They” would wake us up. Day #2 started out with “them” singing “De Colores” in the hallway and bringing coffee and juice to our rooms. Fortunately, when the sun came up, my eyes opened as well, so I took a quick shower and waited on the bed for the next event to unfold, and it did. Once, that occurred, we had 15 minutes to make headway to The Royal Room for a short devotion on the three faces of Jesus Christ. We then broke for breakfast (all you can eat) and sat at different tables to get to know other men. By the way, we had to learn to sing “De Colores” loudly, before each meal, in order to gain access to the chow hall. This was nerve racking to say the least…Then, after breakfast, we were escorted to The Royal Room where our name cards had been placed on round tables in groups of six. We named our table Benaiah, who trusted God to make the impossible, possible! There were six tables in total. Nice numbers… We spent most of the day bonding doing various artistic activities that required group think and competition among the six groups. All the men in the six groups got along quite well, which surprised the men in charge of the event. “They” made sure that we had plenty of food and our own special drink (no alcohol), such as Iced Tea, Coffee, etc. on hand for the whole weekend. This event was specially catered to each of us, and our desires/wants/needs.

162

Additionally, over the three days, we had 15 Rollos (topics) presented by Rollistos (Clergy), as well as emotionally charged testimonies that would induce oneself to become emotional: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

Ideals; Grace; The Church; The Holy Spirit; Piety; Study; Sacraments; Action; Obstacles; Leadership; Environments; Life in Grace; Christian Community in Growth; Reunion Groups; and The Fourth Day.

Day #2, Friday evening did not pass with little fanfare, but was used as the lead-in to an emotional mental “breakdown” Saturday. For the grand finale, after “De Colores,” and dinner, we were escorted into a dark candle lit chapel where low cathedral like dark music was played for what “they” called “The Reconciliation.” Our chairs were arranged such that we faced each other. There was a heart-shaped piece of paper, a pencil, and rose under each of the chairs. After much banter back and forth from one end of the dark lit chapel to the other, we were told to pray and write down our sins on our paper. Then, a figure appeared in white carrying a cross, and we were told to follow “him” outside. He placed the cross upright against the wall, and we were instructed to nail our sins to the cross, and to hold onto our roses. The “Christ” figure then took our sins off the cross and burned them. Then, we held candles afterword and sang a hymn afterwards and walked away in silence. That was an interesting way to end Day #2.

163

Day #3 started the same way as Day #2. However, Saturday afternoon was spent as a therapy session with our leader, where I watched each man breakdown emotionally over his “sins.” To be honest, I almost lost it, but I kept my composure. We were then given communion by a “priest.” Then, afterwards, to push the envelope even further, they gave each of us “Tres Dias” bags filled with letters from “loved ones,” along with ecumenical books to read, such as Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life, as well as some trinkets. I still have mine sitting on my shelf. Of course, that was used as an emotional tug on the heart. Then, they brought in different speakers, who gave their testimonies, and of course, broke down emotionally, as to how Tres Dias changed their lives. By Sunday morning, Day #4, I was on a countdown to go home. I had had enough of the emotional/mental pressure to conform to the group or to break down in front of the others. I played nice and listened as instructed. Of course, “they” used the “Not Inspired Version” of the Bible, the most ecumenical Bible Version one could use, without offending anyone. Sunday morning opened up with Chapel and the giving of flower bouquets to everyone, which I gave to my wife when I got home at 5 p.m. The afternoon passed by with “De Colores” and lunch, and other activities, and then wrapped up by 4 p.m. with pictures, goodbyes, etc. Our watches and cellphones were returned to us, and I rode home with the friend of mine, who sponsored me for the weekend. WOW! What a mind trip that was. Disorientation 101 and then mind control for the weekend! In retrospect, the whole weekend was used to recruit us to serve in other Tres Dias weekends, as well as to start ecumenical Bible studies. We were to set aside all doctrines and join together as “Brothers in Christ,” no matter what our religious background was, including Catholic. Well, that was too much to ask, as far as I was concerned. This was just another way of destroying the Ecclesia of Jesus Christ.

164

When I got home, I ordered and read a couple of books on the subject of Tres Dias: Brian V. Janssen’s Cursillo: Little Courses in Catharsis and Kristy Nabhan-Warren’s The Cursillo Movement in America: Catholics, Protestants, & Fourth Day Spirituality. I highly recommend that one read these books before entertaining the thought of going to one of these weekend retreats. Mrs. Nabhan-Warren’s book is more of a history of the movement in America; whereas Pastor Janssen’s book is an eyewitness account. According to Brian V. Janssen: Cursillo is really “Little Courses in Catharsis.” Or stated more fully, these weekend high experiences are largely dependent on universally applicable, manipulative, somewhat deceptive and not uniquely Christian psychological and physiological techniques designed to wear down resistance and produce an emotional high/cathartic experience, which is then interpreted as a religious experience. While the short-term effects may be pleasant and desirable, the long-term consequences are mostly negative. And since these weekends have no Biblical warrant, they should be avoided.330 Pastor Janssen continues: What is Cursillo? Why is it so secretive and controversial? If it really does produce all the purported benefits, why has the whole church not embraced it?331 The ultimate fruit of the weekend renewal experience lifestyle, the quest for “it,” for emotional experience: a disappointing letdown that initiates a futile guest for more and more experience; a spoiling of the participant’s expectations so that “real life,” and especially the local church, pale by comparison; the production of an elitist “community” existing secretively in the midst of the churches; a regression to spiritual and emotional immaturity that makes one ill-equipped for the hard life of genuine discipleship; and, at the end of the road, a despairing dead end. Obviously, these are serious concerns.332 Pastor Janssen concludes his book with one final plea: And so, let me offer one final appeal to those who lead and sponsor these morally indefensible, spiritually distracting, perhaps even destructive weekends. Please go back to your local church, with all its flaws and failings, and rejoin the rest of us in serving 330. Brian V. Janssen, Cursillo: Little Courses in Catharsis (Eugene, OR: Resource Publications, 2010), 7. 331. Ibid. 332. Ibid., 208.

Jesus Christ who is head of the Church. Please give up these shamefully manipulative practices, and regain integrity in Christian ministry which focuses on the ministry of the word of God and not deceptive tricks. Take to heart the Apostle Paul’s personal testimony of an honorable and upright service to Christ as according to I Thessalonians 2:3-4 and II Corinthians 4:2.333 In case, one is not completely convinced that we are in the Age of Laodicea, here is a transcript of an interview of Dr. Billy Graham by Dr. Robert Schuller, Sr. on April 21, 2007: Dr. Schuller: Tell me, what is the future of Christianity? Dr. Graham: Well, Christianity and being a true believer, you know, I think there’s the body of Christ which comes from all the Christian groups around the world, or outside the Christian groups. I think that everybody that loves Christ or knows Christ, whether they’re conscious of it or not, they’re members of the body of Christ. And I don’t think that we’re going to see a great sweeping revival that will turn the whole world to Christ at any time. Dr. Schuller: What I hear you saying is that it’s possible for Jesus Christ to come into a human heart and soul and life even if they’ve been born in darkness and have never had exposure to the Bible. Is that a correct interpretation of what you’re saying? Dr. Graham: Yes, it is because I believe that. I’ve met people in various parts of the world in tribal situations that they have never seen a Bible or heard about a Bible, have never heard of Jesus, but they’ve believed in their hearts that there is a God and they tried to live a life that was quite apart from the surrounding community in which they lived. Dr. Schuller: This is fantastic. I’m so thrilled to hear you say that. There’s a wideness in God’s mercy. Dr. Graham: There is. There definitely is. Obviously, both of these gentlemen are in agreement with ecumenism, which is currently sweeping our planet. This is the final result: The Babylonian Church of Laodicea – The “Church” of People’s Opinions. This is the END of the so-called “Church” Age…A second Dark Age has set in, only 333. Ibid., 211.

this time it is VOLUNTARY! We have the technology and resources to truly find out for ourselves what the Bible truly says; yet, we use these same resources for personal gratification. Satan’s intended purpose was to keep us occupied with ourselves; hence, the “I-Phone,” the “I-Pad,” the “I-Watch,” etc…Please, remember, the times in which we live: II Timothy 3:1-5 states: This know also, that in the last days, perilous times shall come. For men shall be: 1. Lovers of their own selves, 2. Covetous, 3. Boasters, 4. Proud, 5. Blasphemers, 6. Disobedient to parents, 7. Unthankful, 8. Unholy, 9. Without natural affection, 10. Truce breakers, 11. False accusers, 12. Incontinent, 13. Fierce, 14. Despisers of those who are good, 15. Traitors, 16. Heady, 17. High-minded, 18. Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 19. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: From such turn away! Does the True Ecclesia of Jesus Christ really know what time it is? What will happen to this so-called Babylonian Church? Will it actually be “Raptured” or will the Wicked (the Tares) be taken and the Righteous left behind? Who was destroyed during the Flood of Noah? Who was saved? Who was destroyed during Sodom and Gomorrah? Who was saved? Who was considered righteous? Who was not? One must remember I Corinthians 10:11: Now all these things happened unto them (Israelites) for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

167

That means, we better pay attention to the Old Testament, because of the ramifications on the New Testament! Patterns, patterns, everywhere! There’s always a pattern to see! So, when does the Resurrection/Harpazo happen and who gets taken and/or left?

168

CHAPTER 15 AND HE SHALL SEND HIS ANGELS WITH A GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, AND THEY SHALL GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM END OF HEAVEN TO THE OTHER. The term, Harpazo, (Strong’s #G726, which means, “To catch away, up, pluck, pull, take by force,”)334 is used in Acts 8:39, II Corinthians 12:2, 4; I Thessalonians 4:17; and Revelation 12:5.335 The other term that is associated with Harpazo, is Anabaino (Strong’s #G305, which means, “To arise, ascend up, climb, go grow, rise, spring up, come up,”)336 and is used in Acts 8:31, 39; 10:4; 11:2; 20:11; Revelation 4:1, and 11:12.337 It is interesting that both Moses (physically) and John (in the spirit) were commanded by YAHWEH to come up here in order to receive instructions for Israel… Paul states in I Thessalonians 4:13-18: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall: 1. Descend from Heaven with a shout, 2. With the voice of the archangel, and 3. With the Trump of God: and THEN: 4. The Dead in Christ shall “rise” first: THEN 5. WE which are ALIVE and REMAIN shall be ‘CAUGHT UP’ TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, 6. TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD. 7. Wherefore COMFORT ONE ANOTHER with these words. 334. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, G13. 335. Ibid., 180. 336. Ibid., G6. 337. Ibid., 210–11.

169

Where does one see the word HEAVEN in the above verses? Hmmm….Are we the greeting party that brings back our King to His Kingdom ON EARTH on the LAST DAY? Think about this, IF the Ecclesia were to be Harpazoed prior to the Wrath of God, why would Paul admonish the Believers to “comfort one another with these words”? John states in Revelation 4:1-2: After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were a trumpet talking with me: which said, ‘COME UP HITHER,’and I WILL SHEW THEE THINGS WHICH MUST BE HEREAFTER. And immediately, I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in Heaven, and One sat on the Throne. The most controversial issue that has concerned the Babylonian Church throughout history has been the timing of the Harpazo. On this issue alone, so-called Christians have tended to break fellowship with one another. With regard to the Harpazo, there are four main views: 1. 2. 3. 4.

The Pre-Tribulation View; The Mid-Tribulation View; The Pre-Wrath View; and The Post-Tribulation View.

As to the topic of the Rapture, Bible teachers such as Mark Hitchcock,338 Thomas Ice,339 Terry James,340 Tim LaHaye,341 Hal Lindsey,342 and Chuck Missler,343 teach the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, wherein the Babylonian Church is secretly Raptured Out before the seven-year 338.

Tribulation Period begins. However, others such as Douglas W. Krieger,344 Jacob Prasch,345 and Joe Schimmel346 believe in a Pre-Wrath Rapture, wherein the Babylonian Church is Raptured Before the “Wrath of God/Day of the LORD,” while still yet others like Joel Richardson347 believe in a Post-Tribulation Rapture, wherein the Babylonian Church is Raptured After the Tribulation Period. According to Doug Krieger, there are still others who believe that everything will panout.348 These are all Bible teachers who are looking for a Rapture of the Righteous, but what if there were a Rapture of the Wicked instead? Where are the Bible teachers who teach that position? Well, they are few and far between. For example, I’ve only come across two: Pastor Sheldon Emry349 and Stephen E. Jones.350 From a Christian-Biblical point of view, who is right? Pastor Joe Schimmel of Good Fight Ministries has produced a DVD titled, Left Behind of Led Astray? Examining the Origins of the Secret Pre-Tribulational Rapture, in which he thoroughly examines the history of the beliefs of the Church with regard to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In this DVD, Pastor Schimel has showed that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture was created in the early 1830s as a result of demonic utterances by two teenage girls, Margaret McDonald and her friend, Mary Campbell, then taught by Edward Irving at his Albury Conferences and in his periodical, The Morning Watch, and eventually propelled by John Darby. This Pre-Trib Rapture Theory was then spread in the early 1900’s through the Scofield Reference Bible, and in the late 344. Krieger, The Testimony of Jesus, xv–xlii. 345.

1900’s by Hal Lindsey in his books, The Late Great Planet Earth and Countdown to Armageddon. Currently, this theory is being propagated by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins in their fictitious Left Behind Series. However, Pastor Joe Schimmel has failed to trace the origin of Futurism and the Pre-Trib Rapture to a Jesuit Catholic Priest by the name of Francisco Ribera in 1590. With that being said, Walter Martin had this to say about the Pre-Tribulational Rapture theory: The church fathers, the reformers, every great theologian in the entire history of the church, up until the last 140 years, believed that we (the church) would see the Antichrist. That we would be persecuted by him and that we would be delivered from him by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. And you will not find the idea that we are going to escape the Antichrist until approximately 140 years ago when a fifteen-year old girl (Margaret McDonald) had a revelation. And that revelation was picked up by J.N. Darby, the founder of the Plymouth Brethren, and developed into a form of theology known as dispensational theology. The church, for 19 Centuries, never heard this doctrine, never believed it and never preached it.351 Pastor Schimmel concurs: The early church fathers, Irenaeus (120-202); Justin Martyr (110-165); Tertullian (160225); Hippolytus (170-236); Cyprian (200-258); Victorinus (?-304), though not authoritative, are important because they resolutely confirm the fact that the early church understood that Jesus and the Apostles prepared the church to face the Antichrist and endure the Great Tribulation Period.352 And Pastor Schimmel concludes: The Pre-Trib Rapture doctrine was not taught by Jesus or the Apostles. Even top PreTrib leaders admit that there is not one clear Scripture teaching Pre-Trib in the Bible and that they further admit that it was not taught by the early church fathers. We have also discovered that the Pre-Trib teaching did not infect and spread throughout the church until the 19th Century. The whole eschatological Pre-Millennial Post-Trib construct of the early church was turned upside down in 19th Century Great Britain.353 351. Joe Schimmel, Left Behind or Led Astray?

172

It is interesting to note that even Charles Spurgeon, a contemporary of John Darby’s in England and a Post-Tribulationist, rejected Pre-Tribulationalism, and preached against both Irving and Darby, labelling Darby as warped,354 and his eschatology as one who “…delights to fish up some hitherto undiscovered tadpole of interpretation, and cry it round town as a rare dainty.”355 Spurgeon, as well as fellow dispensationalists, James Grant and George Muller, believed Darby to be a dangerous despot.356 A.W. Tozer had this to say about Pretribulationalism: Here is a doctrine that was not known or taught until the beginning of this Century (20th) and it is already causing splits in churches.357 As it still does to this day… Pastor Schimmel and Good Fight Ministries: Maintain the historical eschatalogical position of the early church and that the Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus’ return for His own and to the Earth is Post Tribulational (II Thessalonians 1:6-11; 2:1-11); Revelation 19:11-21) and Pre-Millennial (Revelation 19:11-21; 20:1-6).358 Remember, to the Hebrew and to the Israelite, prophecy was pattern, and as such, there were many rescues throughout the Old and New Testaments, before Wrath, such as: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Noah and his family from the Flood (Genesis 6-9); Lot and his family from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19); The Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt from Pharaoh (The Book of Exodus); Rahab and her family from the destruction of Jericho (Joshua 2); Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego from Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace (Daniel 3); Daniel from the lion’s den (Daniel 6); The rescue of the Apostles from the Sadducees (Acts 5); The rescue of Peter from King Herod (Acts 12); and

9.

The rescue of Paul (like Rahab) (Acts 9) from the Pharisees in Jerusalem (Acts 23) and from the sea (Acts 27-28).359

According to James Jacob Prasch, the recurrent features of the pattern consistently contain the same characteristics and attributes: First, each rescue narrative portrays the people of God coming under an excruciating pressure in increasingly dire circumstances where there is no way out except direct divine intervention. From the Exodus to the epic of Noah to the plight of Lot to the events of 70 A.D. to the Jericho rescue, each rescue of a corporate group of people shows God’s people entering horrific tribulation and being removed from it just prior to an outpouring of divine judgment on their oppressors.360 Second, there is a cumulative period of preparation for the rescue that is divinely proscribed where those complying with the God-given plan for evacuation are removed while the others are not. This frequently contains a rejection of any horatory efforts by those who are rescued to warn others by the popular culture and possibly even by some or many of those supposedly among their own ranks.361 Third, the predictive warnings by those finding divine favor are not simply rejected, but ridiculed. In Peter’s Epistle, the promise of His Coming will be ridiculed even by those supposedly in the church just as the rescue of Sodom was dismissed as a joke by the sons-in-law of Lot.362 Fourth, there is a defined variety of elements which need to be in place in order to be rescued, most of which have some symbolic relationship to understanding the Word of God. There was the eating of unleavened bread in Sodom, the good of faithful servant in the Olivet Discourse giving the proper food at the proper time, and a similar eating of unleavened bread at the Exodus where the meal was to be ingested hastily while those to be rescued were dressed and ready to leave.363 Fifth, there appears to be the factor of right fellowship as an ingredient for preparation for rescue. Hebrews 10:25 commands directly that fellowshipping together takes on an added importance as we see the day approaching. This is repeated throughout the narratives. Lot’s family went to be in the house, Rahab’s family were to be assembled at the window in the wall where the scarlet marker was, the Hebrews were to be gathered in 359. James Jacob Prasch, Harpazo, 61–146. 360. Ibid., 162. 361. Ibid. 362. Ibid. 363. Ibid.

174

their homes ready to move, and Paul warned of the consequences of those who leave the boat in Acts 27.364 A sixth feature of the rescues are Holy Spirit anointed leaders who understand what is coming and who, in the character of Maccabees in Daniel 11:33-35, comprehend what to do about it. It will be these who know their God and understand the times as Daniel predicts and who serve the proper food at the proper time.365 Seventh, it is not reasonable to negate the divinely inspired inclusion of so many rescue narratives in Scripture, particularly when Peter in his Epistles specifically indicates to us that such are included in the canon of Scripture as examples to us, and he states this with eschatological context and reference. Neither is it reasonable to observe so many uses of the Harpazo and individual Harpazo experiences in both Testaments, but especially in the New Testament without regarding that the Lord has placed them there for good reason. In each of these rescue narratives, we see a sense of recognition of the signs of the times in some way.366 Eighth, each rescue story foreshadowing the Harpazo from the Old Testament is followed by another narrative telling the story of a new beginning. While we cannot establish Pre-Millennialism as a mandated requirement for rescue, it is not coincidental that the most cogent cadre of raptured believers are largely those of the Pre-Millennial persuasion whose perspective of the Harpazo is not focused on the mere escape from the destruction of the morally debased state of what exists, but rather the expectation of the restoration of a divinely controlled biosphere which will replace it. The Harpazo will not primarily be about what the faithful church escapes from but be more concerned with what it escapes to.367 Ninth, after the rescue of Noah, and his family, all of the other rescue narratives, even when involving “non-Jews,” such as Rahab and her family, are events which take place with some relationship to what is happening with Israel and the “Jews.” Becoming Harpazoed will likewise follow suit. The rescue of the faithful church, comprised of both “Jew” and “non-Jew,” will be divinely coordinated in relationship to what is prophetically transpiring with the nation and people of Israel.368 Tenth, a final major recurrence in the rescue narratives prefiguring the Harpazo is that the people of God who are rescued are not immune from the pangs of tribulation preceding it. Both the ramifications of the early phase of divine judgment and the 364. Ibid., 163. 365. Ibid., 164. 366. Ibid., 165. 367. Ibid. 368. Ibid., 166.

opposition the people of God received from the unbelieving afflict them, often severely. In each case, however, the same three assurances come into play.369 First of all, their capacity to withstand it is related to their preparation for it ahead of time. Secondly, whether it be like the Maccabees receiving a little help or Simon helping Jesus to carry His cross, there is some decree of alleviation during the season of difficulty. Thirdly, is the divine assurance that they shall be rescued before the full thrust of divine judgment is outpoured and their suffering, no matter how traumatic, will not only wax shallow in comparison to the blessing and regard which awaits them, but will wax shallow in contrast to the plight of those who rejected their message of repentance and who persecuted them.370 In other words, all of these rescues required a process of preparation for the flight that needed to take place in a harried manner to prepare for the rescue. The same will be true of the Harpazo. According to I John 2:18 and Hebrews 1:1, we are already in the last days because the Harpazo and Resurrection have already begun with the Resurrection and Ascension of Yahshuah. John even refers to the present Ecclesia Age in I John 2:18, as the last hour. With that being said, Tim LaHaye of The Left Behind Series, wrote a book called, The Rapture: Who Will Face The Tribulation?371 As anyone can tell from the title, LaHaye argues that the Babylonian Church will be mysteriously raptured before the Tribulation Period/Daniel’s 70th Week, and he actually uses I Thessalonians 4:16-18 as the basis for his argument.372 He further “emotionally defends the Pre-Trib position by arguing AGAINST the Mid-Trib and Post-Trib positions.”373 369. Ibid. 370. Ibid. 371. LaHaye, The Rapture. 372. Ibid., 109. 373. Ibid., 103–33.

176

On the other hand, Chuck Missler teaches academically, that there are seven Harpazos in the Bible: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Enoch (Genesis 4:12; Hebrews 11:5); Elijah (II Kings 2:1-11); Jesus (Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9; Revelation 12:5); Philip (Acts 8:39); Paul (II Corinthians 12:2-4); The Body of Christ (I Thessalonians 4:17); and John (Revelation 4:1-2).374

Dr. Missler is correct with the exception of one: The Body of Christ… Jacob Prasch teaches the above as well; however, minus the Body of Christ. Prasch teaches that “John is that last of the types of the Raptures in the Bible, and that the command (Anaba in the Greek) will be personally heard by all.”375 Prasch also teaches that: The Transfiguration was a type of Resurrection and Rapture in that Moses was Resurrected and Enoch was Raptured, and that Enoch and Methuselah were a type of Rapture and Sudden Death, and that it was a precursor as to how long man would live in the Millennium.376 So, the Harpazo happens first, then man lives to be almost a thousand years old again? So, where does the Harpazo happen? AFTER the Tribulation, but BEFORE the Millennial Reign of Christ? Or does the Millennium begin in Judgment? A rather interesting point… Prasch goes on to list the six types of Harpazos in the Bible: 1. 2. 3.

Enoch, who walked with God (as we should every day!), and was not; Elijah, who stopped the rain for 3 ½ years, which means that the Holy Spirit will be shut off from everyone (NO RAIN, i.e. a famine for the Word of God); Jesus, who throughout the Gospels, teaches that: a. Justification is where the Father convicts us by the Holy Spirit to believe in the Son; b. Sanctification is where the Father sends the Holy Spirit to conform us into the likeness of the Son; and

c. 4. 5. 6.

Redemption is where the Father sends the Son to Harpazo those who have His Spirit; Philip was translated from Gaza to Azotus in Acts 8; Paul was raptured up to the Third Heaven in II Corinthians 12:2-6; and John in Revelation 4:1-2.377

We have the seen the types of Rescues and Raptures in the Bible. Now, what about the timing of the Harpazo? In Matthew 24:29-31, Jesus states: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Paul in I Corinthians 15:51-53 states: Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. Paul also reiterates what Jesus teaches in the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24 and Mark 13, and the Temple Discourse in Luke 21, in I Thessalonians 4:13-18. In conclusion, looking at the Bible from a Hebrew perspective, according to Prasch, the Harpazo happens here in Revelation 6:12-17: And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondsman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the Wrath of the Lamb: For the Great Day of His Wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 377. James Jacob Prasch, Harpazo, Kindle Location 603–736.

178

When does a fig tree casteth her untimely figs? Look at the Strong’s Concordance translation of the Greek on My Sword Bible App…it’s that simple! Think Springtime…perhaps another Passover event? And according to Revelation 8:1: And when He had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. Prasch concludes: The Seventh Seal, however, is not Tribulational, but rather unleashes the wrath of God following the Parousia. This is in direct fulfillment of the prophecy, He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee (Job 5:19). Prasch believes that the Rapture occurs in between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal in Revelation 7:9, 13-14: After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands…And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of GREAT TRIBULATION, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Dumitru Duduman, a Romanian Christian, who smuggled Bibles into Eastern Europe and Russia in the 1950s-1980s, confirmed this in his lecture on his vision of the destruction of America, which can be seen on You Tube.378 According to Dr. Joye Jeffries Pugh, with regard to the Feast of Trumpets (The Last Trump): According to Jewish tradition regarding their Feast of Trumpets, two men were positioned on Jerusalem’s walls to watch for the new moon. When they saw it, they would blow an instrument called a shofar. Upon hearing this trumpet sounding, everyone would stop what they were doing without hesitation and run as fast as they could to the 378.

temple. This important even was called Yom Teruah, the Hebrew’s Feast of Trumpets. If a person did not drop everything and run, after a short time, the temple doors that were open to everyone would be closed. Once these huge temple doors closed, no one could get in. This is a parallel to Noah’s door to the ark being shut so no one else could ever get in.379 The Feast of Trumpets is important to understand as it clearly explains future events concerning the Rapture. Because this feast began at sundown, if anyone did not keep their lanterns full of oil, they would not be able to see how to get to the temple after dark. This feast correlates to Scripture found in Matthew 25 about the ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom to come. Five were foolish and let their oil run out. Only the five wise virgins were received by the bridegroom as the other five were lost in darkness. This parable also supports additional Scripture found in I Thessalonians 5:5-6 concerning Christians being children of light and not of darkness. The children of light are taken, but the children of darkness are left with their king of darkness, Satan. When this separation occurs, the bride has been taken and there was silence in heaven: the calm before the storm just like in Noah’s day which happened right before God unleashed his flood. Lines in the sand will have been drawn and the temple doors closed. God’s seed time ad harvest is over as His wheat has been separated from Satan’s tares.380 Because the Feast of Trumpets occurs near sundown, it explains why Jesus said He would come as a ‘thief in the night’ and ‘at an hour that no man knows’ and that ‘sudden destruction’ would befall them ‘like a woman in travail’ and ‘they would not be able to escape God’s wrath’ according to I Thessalonians 5:2-3. Jesus referring to Himself as a ‘thief in the night’ was not just a metaphor but based on a well-known Hebrew tradition of His time involving the high priest. Each night, Jerusalem’s high priest checked on junior priests assigned to keep the brazen altar burning. These priests were commanded to never fall asleep, get drunk, distracted, or let the fire go out.381 The high priest making his rounds unexpectedly, became known as a ‘thief in the night’ because if he found a priest asleep, he would take hot coals from the altar and place them on the sleeping priest’s clothes. As these coals burned down to the priest’s skin, he would wake up tearing his clothes off to keep from burning up. This would leave the priest standing naked and ashamed before the high priest and any one else watching. Revelation 16:15 uses this Hebrew tradition to perfectly explain the catching away by Jesus as it states: ‘Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.’ Christians watching who know 379.

the signs will be ready, but those believing in false peace and safety that are sleeping, drunk, bombed out on drugs, or without lamp oil will be lost for all eternity.382 Men positioned on the wall waiting to blow their shofar announcing the Feasts of Trumpets were not out there for days on end but knew the seasons and when to prepare for the possible time of the new moon. They were not caught off guard when it arrived as they were soberly watching and waiting. This parallels the catching away that will occur at the end of the tribulation right before God pours out His Final Great Wrath per Matthew 24:29.383 Can true believers almost know the time of the catching away? Yes, because true followers of Jesus can discern times and seasons based on Hebrew Tradition. They keep their oil lamps filled because they are children of light who will not be overtaken by ‘the day no man knows.’ Jesus will come as a ‘thief in the night’ taking His valuable bride of believers and leaving unbelievers behind openly exposed as sinful to endure God’s wrath.384 However, according to Michael T. Snyder, there are 101 Key Points to remember with regard to the Rapture,385 as well as that the Rapture takes place; 1. 2. 3.

On the last day of human history (at the end of the 6,000 years of human history); On the Feast of Trumpets (1 or 2 Tishrei); and Upon which the 7th Trumpet Judgment of Revelation will occur, i.e. The Last Trumpet.386

This is concurred by Mark Biltz,387 Joseph Lenard and Donald Zoller,388 Phil Richardson,389 and T.W. Tramm.390 Yahshuah clearly states what happens in the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares as found in Matthew 13:37-43: 1. He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man; 2. The field is the World; 3. The good seed are the Children of the Kingdom; 4. The tares are the Children of the Wicked One; 5. The enemy that sowed them is the Devil; 6. The harvest is the End of the World; 7. The reapers are the Angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of Man shall send forth His Angels, and they shall gather out of His Kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. When does this happen? According to Yahshuah in John 6:39, 40, 44, and 54: And this is the Father’s will which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting live: and I will raise him up on the last day. No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 387.

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Martha states this same fact with regard to Lazarus in John 11:24: …I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Yahshuah was very clear! Stay away from the Traditions of the Elders…DO NOT BE DECEIVED!

183

CHAPTER 16 BE YE NOT DECEIVED! The majority of the prophecies in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts were spoken into existence by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in His discourses on the Mount of Olives and in the Temple during His last week on the Earth. Master Yahshuah the Mashiyach (Salvation is the Messiah), the Only Begotten Son of God, warned His Ecclesia, i.e. the called-out assembly of believers in Him from the Houses of Israel and of Judah, to NOT BE DECEIVED! (Matthew 24:4 – Take heed that no man deceive you; Mark 13:5 – Take heed lest any man deceive you; Luke 21:8 – Take heed that ye be not deceived. The word(s), deceive(d) is the Greek word, planao, (Strong’s #G4105), which means, “To cause to roam from safety, truth, or virtue; to go astray, deceive, err, seduce, wander, be out of the way.”391 The Matthew/Mark account, popularly known as “The Olivet Discourse,” was/is directed to the Ecclesia in the Last Century on Earth; while the Luke account, known as “The Temple Discourse,” was directed to the Church in the 1st Century A.D. However, with that being said, Yahshuah also made time-constrained caveats in Matthew 24:34, that This Generation shall NOT pass, until ALL these things be fulfilled; in Mark 14:30, that This Generation shall NOT pass, till all these things be done; in Luke 21:32, that This Generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. So, Yahshuah was warning His Ecclesia, both the First Generation of Christians (1st Century A.D.) and the Last Generation of Christians (21st Century A.D., i.e. us) to NOT BE DECEIVED and that THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS UNTIL the signs as described in these discourses were fulfilled. Per the Luke “Temple Discourse,” the destruction of Jerusalem 391. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, G71.

184

in 70 A.D. was fulfilled as described by Yahshuah. According to Josephus’ account of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., over 1.1. million Edomite Jews were killed (with hardly any Christians being killed), and 97,000 Jews captured. Why was this? Well, First Century Christians took Yahshuah at His Word, and ESCAPED, when they saw the signs as described by Yahshuah taking place, while the Edomite Jews, who rejected Yahshuah, ignored the signs and warnings, were subsequently killed. In order to understand what is happening, this is Jesus Christ’s last week on Earth. On Sunday, Jesus rode triumphantly into Jerusalem where He was proclaimed to be the Messiah (Matthew 21:8-11; Mark 11:8-10; Luke 19:36-38; John 12:12-18). On Monday, Jesus cleansed the Temple a second time, casting out the money changers and those who were doing business within the Temple walls (Matthew 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-17; Luke 19:45-46). Jesus then takes upon Himself the right and authority to teach in the Temple, coming into conflict with the Priests and Elders (Matthew 21:23-22:14), the Pharisees and Herodians (Matthew 22:15-22), the Sadducees (Matthew 22:23-33) and the Pharisees yet again (Matthew 22:34-36). As a result of this, on Tuesday, Jesus then condemns the false religions, the false religionists, the sacrificial system, the Temple, Jerusalem, and Israel as a whole. On Tuesday, Jesus spoke to the crowds and His disciples warning about false religion: 1.

False religion is a religion that claims to “sit” in the truth (Moses’ seat).392 The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat (Matthew 23:2).

2.

False religion is a religion of hypocrisy.393 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not (Matthew 23:3).

3.

False religion is a religion of heavy burdens.394 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay, them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers (Matthew 23:4).

4.

False religion is a religion of show, of display.395 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the boarders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called to men, Rabbi, Rabbi (Matthew 23:5-7).

5.

False religion is a religion to be guarded against.396 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your Father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted (Matthew 23:8-12).

After condemning false religion, Jesus then turns His attention to the false religionists, i.e. the religious elite of His day (which are only found in Matthew): 1.

False religionists shut the door of heaven against seekers.397 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in (Matthew 23:13).

2.

False religionists use the guise of religion for greed, especially to steal from widows.398 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation (Matthew 23:14).

3.

False religionists are missionaries who double the corruption of new followers.399 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves (Matthew 23:15).

4.

False religionists mislead others; they are blind guides in oaths and commitments.400 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing: but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? And whoso shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon (Matthew 23:16-22).

5.

False religionists stress the lighter commandments and neglect the more important ones.401 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel (Matthew 23:23-24).

6.

False religionists are blind to real cleanness.402 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter that the outside of them may be clean also (Matthew 23:25-26).

7.

False religionists disguise inner decay.403 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto whitedsepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (Matthew 23:27-28).

8.

False religionists pride themselves in a godly heritage.404 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous, and say, If we had been

in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your Fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Matthew 23:29-33). 9.

False religionists reject and abuse many of God’s messengers.405 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, ALL THESE THINGS SHALL COME UPON THIS GENERATION (Matthew 23:34-36).

The term, woe, is the Greek word, ouai, (Strong’s #G3759) and is defined as, “A primary exclamation of grief.”406 According to The Preacher’s Sermon & Outline Bible: Woe means both wrath and sorrow, anger and pity. There is not a single English word to express what it means. It is a grieving denunciation; a sorrowful wrath; a pitying anger. It is a Godly threat.407 The term, hypocrites, is the Greek word, hupokrites, (Strong’s #G5273) and is defined as, “An actor under an assumed character (stage-player), i.e. a dissembler (hypocrite);408 and the Greek word, hupokrinomai, (Strong’s #G5271) and is defined as, “To decide (speak or act) under a false part, i.e. dissemble (pretend) – feign.”409 According to The Preacher’s Sermon & Outline Bible, the word, hypocrites, (hupokrites) is: One who pretends, puts on a show, acts out something he is not. At first, the word simply meant one who replied or answered. Then, it came to mean acting, as actors play-acted the lines of a scene. Finally, the word was used in the worst sense: play-acting; pretending; 405. Ibid., 532. 406. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, G64. 407.

one who wore a mask to hide his real self; one who acted one way, but who was really another way; one who put one an outward show.410 The false religionists, i.e. the scribes and the Pharisees, were hypocrites, in that: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

6.

They acted as though they believed and loved God, yet they did not accept God’s Son. They pretended to be seeking God, but they were really seeking profession, esteem, recognition, honor, position, power, and security. They showed a concern for the things of God, but they were really concerned with the things of this world. They acted humble and helpful, but they were really full of pride, envy, possessiveness, selfishness, and covetousness. They claimed to be ministers of God’s religion, but they were really ministers of a man-made religion, a religion that honored man’s ability to be good and to do enough good to become acceptable to God. They professed God’s Words, but they added to and took away from His Word.411

In other words, what Jesus said to the false religionists of His day, goes for the false religionists of today: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Hypocrites shall receive the greater damnation (Matthew 23:14). Hypocrites are children of Hell (Matthew 23:15). Hypocrites are fools and they are blind (Matthew 23:17, 19). Hypocrites are blind guides (Matthew 23:24). Hypocrites are full of extortion and excess (Matthew 23:25). Hypocrites are full of all uncleanness (Matthew 23:27). Hypocrites are serpents, a generation of vipers (Matthew 23:33). Hypocrites shall not escape that damnation of Hell (Matthew 23:33).412

As if that were not enough, Yahshuah then laments and pronounces judgment on Jerusalem (The City of YAHWEH) and Israel (The People of YAHWEH): O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gatered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! BEHOLD, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me henceforth, till ye shall say, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD (Matthew 23:37-39). 410.

In this, Yahshuah states: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The past sin of Jerusalem: Persecuted God’s messengers (v. 37). The great love of Christ for Jerusalem: Longed to gather the people under His care (v. 37). The great sin of Jerusalem: Rejected the Messiah (v. 37). The terrifying judgment upon Jerusalem (vv. 38-39). The glorious prediction: Jerusalem and Israel will proclaim the Messiah (v. 39).413

In Matthew 23:37, the great sin of Jerusalem was this: The people rejected God’s only begotten Son. Note the words, ye would not. He would have saved them, but they would not be saved. They heard Christ; they saw Christ; they were even able to touch Christ (I John 1:1), but they rejected Him. And their rejection was deliberate!414 In Matthew 23:38-39, the terrifying judgment upon Jerusalem was threefold: 1.

Their house was to be deserted by God, “Left in their own hands.”415 The word “house” refers to their temple, their nation, and their lives. They wanted control of all; to do as they willed with their lives and possessions. Christ said that God would grant their wish. God’s presence was going to depart their temple, their nation, and their lives; and He was going to leave all in their hands.

2.

Their house was to be desolated. It was to be destroyed.416 This would be a reference both to earthy judgment (the lack of God’s presence) when Jerusalem was devastated by Titus in 70 A.D. and to eternal judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

3.

They would thereafter be unable to see Christ.417 a. They would not be able to see Him soon. He was departing the world, dying, and ascending into God’s presence. They would not see Him again until He returned.

b.

They would continue to be blind and obstinate in their unbelief. They would not submit to Christ as the Messiah, the very Son of God. Therefore, they would be blinded as part of the judgment of God (Romans 11:7-10, 25).

These same three judgments are applicable to us today – to every man and nation who walks in obstinate disbelief. As a result: 1.

YAHWEH will abandon them;

2.

YAHWEH shall destroy them; and, as a result,

3.

They shall be unable to see Christ.

YAHWEH’s love for His City and His People was perfectly demonstrated when He gave His only begotten Son, Yahshuah, who was without hesitation, rejected.

CHAPTER 17 THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT HERE ONE STONE UPONE ANOTHER, THAT SHALL NOT BE THROWN DOWN. After Mast Yahshuah the Mashiyach pronounced judgment on the False Religion and the False Religionists of His day, He then turned around and pronounced judgment on Edomite Jewish Sacrificial system, i.e. the destruction of the Temple: And Jesus went out and departed from the Temple: and His disciples came to Him for to shew Him the buildings of the Temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down (Matthew 24:1-2). Yahshuah judged the false religions and the false religionists of His day, their sacrificial system, their city, and their nation and people. Yahshuah stated these prophecies either 30 A.D. or 33 A.D. depending on which date you believe Yahshuah was crucified. The Romans under Titus Vespasian fulfilled these prophecies in 70 A.D. when they razed the City of Jerusalem to the ground and vanquished the nation of Israel by 135 A.D. because of the Bar Kokhba revolt. However, these prophecies were also fulfilled in 73 A.D. when Masada fell. Either way, 40 years past and were fulfilled. However, while this was fulfilled in 70 A.D. and 73 A.D., is there yet a future fulfillment? The discourse in Matthew 24-25 and Mark 13 takes place on the Mount of Olives. Why the Mount of Olives? Where is it and why is it so special? According to the scientific findings of Dr. Ernest Martin found in Bob Cornuke’s new book, Golgatha: Searching for the True Location of Christ’s Crucifixion: It is important to note that the Tabernacle only had eastern gates. By using the Tabernacle as a standard, this points to the ‘gate’ through which Jesus went to his crucifixion as being the east gate in the outer wall surrounding the Temple. Interestingly, this eastern gate was the same gate through which the major sin offerings and the Red Heifer were taken to Olivet. The roadway through that eastern gate was designed 192

specifically by the Jewish authorities to lead directly to the altar ‘outside the camp’ where the Red Heifer was burnt to ashes. Early Jewish Christians were keenly aware of these ritualistic connections of the sin offerings with the death of Jesus. Geographically, these historical and Biblical texts about His crucifixion direct us to Olivet.418 Furthermore, this Red Heifer altar was located just ‘outside the camp’ which was at least 2,000 cubits East of the Hall of the Sanhedrin then situated at the Chamber of Hewn Stones in the Temple, located on the left side of the Altar of Burnt Offer (Middoth 5:4; Sanhedrin 11:2; Yoma 25a). Indeed, just before Jesus was crucified, He was actually condemned to be executed while He stood before the Sanhedrin in the Chamber of Hewn Stones on the Temple Mount (see Shabbath 15a and Rosh ha-Shanah 31a, b). Since it was then the Passover season, the chief priest (the president of the Sanhedrin who was Caiaphas) and his deputy (Annas, the Sagan) were required to be resident in their quarters within the precincts of the Temple. They were then living in their official ‘houses’ which were located in the Temple compound itself (Middoth 5:4); Encyclopaedia Judaica iii.991). This is when the op priestly authorities left their own private houses (no doubt located on the aristocratic southwest hill of Jerusalem) and they took up residence within the Temple itself.419 There were special times in the Jewish ecclesiastical year when residence within the Temple was essential for the High Priest and his deputy. For the seven days prior to offering the Red Heifer, the High Priest had to stay in his Temple ‘house’ called the ‘House of Stone’ (Parah 3:1). For the seven days prior to the Day of Atonement, the High Priest had to reside within his ‘house’ on the Temple Mount (Yoma 1:1). Though Josephus did not mention the Temple residency of the priests, he did stat that such attendance at the Temple was a requirement for weekly Sabbaths, new moons and annual festivals (War V.230). Since Jesus was judged by the Jewish authorities at the Passover season, Caiaphas and Annas were not at their private homes during Jesus’ interrogation. Jesus was judged by the chief priests and condemned by the Sanhedrin while all parties were within the Temple enclosure. From the Christian point of view, this meant that Jesus was judged to die in His own Father’s house. He was sentenced to die ‘in the presence of God’ who symbolically dwelt in the Holy of Holies.420 After His judgments by the Sanhedrin on the Temple Mount, Jesus was then taken a short distance to the Northwest part of the Temple courtyard where there was a stairway that led to Fort Antonia where Pilate was amongst his troops. Being at Antonia during Passover provided Pilate with a personal command over his resident army in order to properly control the festival crowds in Jerusalem, and especially those within the Temple precincts. After interrogating Jesus, Pilate washed his hands of the matter. Jesus was then led out of Fort Antonia and through the East Gate of the Temple (which was also the 418.

East Gate of Jerusalem) and taken over the two-tiered arched bridge of the Kidron Valley to the summit of Olivet near where the Red Heifer was sacrificed – a prominent area in Jerusalem.421 This Eastern area where Jesus was executed was famous for another reason. Jesus was actually crucified in the official are of Jerusalem that was designed for the execution of criminals and in the region that the Jewish authorities believed was the symbolic place where the whole world would one day be judged by God. This was the area directly East of the Temple but located ‘outside the camp’ of Israel (Numbers 15:35). The limits of the camp were determined, in the time of Jesus, to be a radius of 2,000 cubits (near 3,000 feet) from the court of the Sanhedrin in the Temple (Rosh ha-Shana 2:4, see also Sanhedren 1:5 and Shebuoth 2:3 for the authority of the Jewish Supreme Court to set the limits of the camp). This factor alone disqualifies the present sites of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden Tomb from being the place of Jesus’ crucifixion (even though outside the walls) because both sites were within the official region of the ‘camp.’422 The Biblical examples for judicial sentencing of people for their criminal acts in the time of Moses, show they took place of the East side of the Sanctuary. Women accused of adultery were brought for judgment ‘before the Lord,’ that is, to the East entrance of the Sanctuary (Numbers 5:16-31). The two sons of Aaron were judged ‘before the Lord’ on the East side of the Sanctuary (Leviticus 10:1-7). Korah and his Levites were also punished East of the Tabernacle (Numbers 16:41-50).423 It was important for official judgments to be rendered, and executed, East of the Temple. This allowed the judgments to be made ‘in the presence of God,’ who figuratively faced East from His Sanctuary. Because of this, both the Sanhedrin and the lesser courts at Jerusalem, in the time of Jesus were located in the Temple to the East of the Holy Place (Cohen, Everyman’s Talmud, 299). It was reckoned that while God was symbolically sitting in the Holy of Holies, He could watch the proceedings going on in the law courts. God supposedly faced East while sitting on His Temple throne. Thus, god, in a figurative way, had a panoramic view of all the ritualistic and judicial duties of His people which were being conducted East of the Sanctuary. This allowed all ceremonies (both religious and secular) to be done ‘in the presence of God.’ It is remarkable that many textbooks written by Christian theologians fail to mention the importance of this Eastern area in this regard nor do they show the location of the altar ‘without the Sanctuary’ (Ezekiel 43:21) where the Red Heifer was sacrificed and where the Day of Atonement sin offerings were burnt.424 421.

194

This Eastern location was also significant in judicial matters involving capital crimes. Moses demanded that the place of executions had to be ‘outside the camp’ (Numbers 15:35-36). All ritual sacrifices were offered East of the Sanctuary and in full view of God who figuratively dwelt in the Holy of Holies, and the prime sin offerings were burnt ‘outside the camp’ at the summit of Olivet. And in Jewish practice, heinous criminals were required to be their own ‘sin offerings’ in paying for their sins (without having the benefit of an animal sacrifice as a substitute) (Cohen, Ibid., 317).425 The Bordeaux Pilgrim in 333 A.D. said that at the Southern summit of Olivet there was a small knoll or hillock (called in Latin a monticulus). In the time of David, this region was known as ‘the Rosh’ (that is, ‘the head’) (II Samuel 15:30), and remarkably the Hebrew word ‘Golgatha’ also means ‘head’ or ‘skull.426 There are numerous historical reasons for selecting Olivet as the place of Jesus’ crucifixion. In the recently translated Temple Scroll, Yadin pointed out that all people bearing religious defilements, which prevented them from entering the holy city or the Temple, were directed to stay East of the ideal Sanctuary region mentioned in the scroll (Yadin 177). Evil and defiled people (sinners) were kept East of Jerusalem in order to prevent any ‘winds of evil’ from flowing over the holy city from the West. This is one of the reasons the sin offering of the Red Heifer and those of the Day of Atonement (which were to atone for sins) were burnt to ashes in this Easter area ‘outside the camp’ (Leviticus 4:21; 16:27). Yadin suggested that a part of this Eastern region, which had been put aside for defiled persons, was even referred to in the New Testament, i.e., Mark 14:3.427 Since all sin offerings were sacrificed (or ‘executed’) East of the Holy Place of the Temple, and the most important ones were sacrificed further East at the Red Heifer altar on Olivet, this Easterly region of the Temple became known as the place where God dealt with sin – where all the sins of the world will be judged. This is one reason why the Kidron Valley, separating the Temple from the Mount of Olives, became known as the Valley of Jehoshaphat (the valley where ‘God judges’). Even to this day, Jews, Muslims and Christians consider the summit and Western slope of Olivet as the ordained place where God will judge all people for their sins. Charles Warren, in Hasting’s Dictionary of the Bible, listed over fourteen Christian authorities (from the Deaux Pilgrim onward) who attested to this belief (II.562). This is why it was important from the Christian point of view that Jesus died in this Eastern region, which was reckoned the judgment place for all mankind. For Jesus to be judged as dying or the sins of all mankind, Christians thought He had to be judged in the please where all mankind were designed to be judged for sins. The Hebrew word for the altar where the Red Heifer was burnt to ashes is miphkad (see Ezekiel 43:21). This word means ‘muster’ or the place where people ‘congregate’ or ‘gather together.’ And in traditional teaching, it was at or near this site on 425. Cornuke, Golgatha, Kindle Location 2032–41. 426.

Olivet where all mankind would ‘congregate’ to be judged. This teaching can be seen in the New Testament itself. When the Son of Man returns with all His angels, He shall sit on His glorious throne and He will then ‘gather together’ before Him for judgment all the nations of the world. Those selected to be on His right hand will go into the Kingdom of God, while those on His left will go into the fire of perdition (Matthew 25:31-36). The geographical features of this teaching of Jesus (from the Jewish point of view in the first century) shows Jesus sitting on His glorious throne (which was in the Sanctuary of the Temple) and all the nations were then depicted as gatherings to the Western slope of the Mount of Olives to face Him for judgment. This allowed them to be judged ‘in the presence of Jesus.’ The Book of Revelation also spoke of the wicked being tormented in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb (Revelation 4:10). To be judge ‘in the presence of God’ while He sits on His throne locates these individuals at the summit or on the Western slope of the Mount of Olives. Again, this is why, even to Christians, the region of the Kidron Valley became known as the Valley of Jehoshaphat – the place of God’s judgment.428 Conversely, the present Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as well as the Garden Tomb, are located West and North of the Temple. These sites were in no way areas of judgment, as was Olivet and its Western slopes. These sites are further disqualified, though they were outside the Western and Northern walls of Jerusalem, because they were still located within the 2000 cubits’ zone of ‘camp of Israel’ as measured from the Sanhedrin located in the Temple…When Eusebius first heard in 326 A.D. that Constantine and his mother were selecting a Venus Shrine as the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, he stated that such was ‘contrary to all expectation’ (Life of Constantine 111.28). At the dedication of the “Holy Sepulchre’ in 335 A.D., Eusebius requested Constantine to inform the assembled bishops his reasons for building that church, ‘The reasons were SECRET to us (Eusebius and the bishops), but known TO YOU ALONE…which caused YOU to RAISE UP this sacred edifice’ (Oration of Eusebius, XVIII). There were no historical documents or traditions which were retained by Christians at Jerusalem to support its his advisors. The early church historian, Sozomen, felt that historical records were not necessary when visions and dreams presented the ‘real facts’ to the Christ world (History 11:1).429 Eusebius showed, in his works written before 326 A.D., that Jesus was actually crucified on what he called the symbolic ‘Mount Sion’ for Christians. Three times in his Proof of the Gospel (I.4; VI.13; IX.14). he identified the Christian ‘Mount Sion’ as being where Jesus spent most of His time when He was in the area of Jerusalem and that spot was on the Mount of Olives (Mark 11:1; Luke 21:37; 22:39; John 18:2). Eusebius also said the Shekinah left Mount Moriah and went Eastward to abide on this Christian ‘Mount Sion’ that was located ‘adjacent to’ or ‘opposite’ Jerusalem and the Temple Mount – an apt geographical description of the Mount of Olives (Proof of the Gospel, I.4; VI.18). To Eusebius, Olivet was where the New Covenant began when the Temple veil tore in two 428. Cornuke, Golgatha, Kindle Location 2062–82. 429. Cornuke, Golgatha, Kindle Location 2082–91.

(VIII.2). Eusebius even stated that the Christian church was founded on Olivet (VI.18) and Jerome reiterated the same belief (Letter CVIII.12). And in his commentary on Isaiah (written before 326 A.D.), Eusebius made the plain statement that the new ‘Mount Sion’ (Olivet) was actually the site of the legitimacy. It was selected because of the dreams, visions and supposed miraculous signs associated with Constantine and crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus (Isaiah 2:1-4; see Walker, Holy City, Holy Places? pp.302, 305).430 Dr. Ernest Martin then goes on to state that: The general area of Silwan and the Mount of Olives, by early Jews, was known as the ‘Mountain of Anointing,’ (That is in the ‘Mountain of Messiah’ or the ‘Mountain of Christ’ through the Greek.431 It is important to note that Bob Cornuke in his book, Temple: Amazing New Discoveries that Change Everything About the Location of Solomon’s Temple stated that “The Temples of Solomon and Herod were located in the City of David” (NOT where the local Temple Mount is believed to be located.)”432 In other words, the Western Wall, i.e. the Wailing Wall is not a part of either Temple; it is actually a part of the Roman Fortress Anatolia…Yahshuah was correct yet again!

CHAPTER 18 I AM COME IN MY FATHER’S NAME, AND YE RECEIVE ME NOT: IF ANOTHER SHALL COME IN HIS OWN NAME, HIM YE WILL RECEIVE. The Lord Jesus Christ, as revealed through the Scriptures, is God the Father in eternity, manifested to man in time, thus making Jesus Christ the Creator of all things, and the One to whom all things are to be made subject. He is “The Lamb without spot” who came to redeem His people. “Jesus is His Name, and “The Christ,” which means “The Anointed One,” is His Title. The Bible warns about “another Christ” and “another Gospel.” However, people seem to think that setting aside core doctrines and values in the name of “unity,” will fix all the problems in the world. Tolerance is the enemy of Truth, and when tolerance is sought, Truth is the first casualty. One has to be careful not to have fellowship with any forms of any false Christs, as well as any one who promotes unity in diversity! Below is a list of thirty-two popular “Christs,” which are different from the Lord Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Bible, by Arnold E. Kennedy.433 The last “Christ” on this list is the most dangerous, as it is the least obvious…434 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

The JESUS WHO IS NOT GOD, that is, the Lord God Almighty revealed in the flesh. The POSSIBILITY JESUS of the Crystal Cathedral with Robert Schuller and Norman Vincent Peale. The MORMON JESUS, who was a polygamist with many children after the flesh. The MODERNIST JESUS, who was not born of a virgin. The MASONIC JESUS, who denies what Jesus says about “sware not at all,” but instead demands terrible oaths. The UNITARIAN JESUS, who was not God. The UNIVERSALIST JESUS, who will not allow anyone of Israel or anyone else to go to Hell. The PROSPERITY JESUS, who came to make people wealthy in money and goods.

The LAUGHING JESUS, who “slays” people with his spirit and causes them to laugh uncontrollably and to stagger like drunken men, even if they are unrepentant and living in open sin. The SELF-ESTEEM JESUS, who never condemned man as a sinner and who came merely to build up their self-image. The REVOLUTIONARY JESUS, who was the founder of the political Liberation Theology. The LATING JESUS, who is one with Voodoo and witchcraft, and is always shown as a baby or as being still on the Cross. The HARE KRISHNA JESUS, who can take the form of an image of Krishna to be prayed to. The MUSLIM JESUS, who was an ordinary prophet amongst other prophets. The HINDU/WORLD CHURCH/ECUMENICAL JESUS, who is one of the many ways to the Father. The JESUS OF ONE’S OWN IMAGINATION of those who live in a world of make-believe fantasy. The FEEL-GOOD JESUS, who can be psyched up in a meeting, but from whom all feelings are lost the next day. The POP-UP JESUS of those who say, “behold He is here, behold He is there” and who run about looking for ‘spiritual’ experiences. The REVIVAL/SHOW US MIRACLES JESUS of an evil generation: they seek a sign, whose followers pray for everyone else, but God’s people to be revived. The PROMISE-KEEPERS’ JESUS who believes that racial integration will solve the world’s racial problems. The HOMOSEXUAL JESUS as he is portrayed by some modern writers. The FREE-LOVE JESUS who is supposed to have had several wives. The STUPID JESUS who thought he was God. The BROAD-MINDED JESUS who “loves the sinner but hates the sin.” The TOLERANT JESUS who tolerates the Doctrine of Balaam and allows Jezebel into the church (Revelation 1:14, 20). The LENIENT JESUS who is not a bit like that in the letters to the seven churches. The NEW AGE CHRIST, which is the Lord Maitreya, the god of the New Age, who calls himself Jesus or “The Christ”. The “MARCH FOR JESUS” JESUS who marches with Roman Catholics, Mormons, cults, and any of the others above. The WAFER JESUS who is worshipped and crucified afresh in the blasphemy of the Roman Catholic mass, who shows his presence by a light in a box in the church. The Bible says “pray not” for those who worship the Queen of Heaven. These belittle the Lord Jesus Christ by saying that Mary is a mediator between God and man. The CHOOSE ME JESUS who does not accept, You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you. The EVERY RACE JESUS who does not accept, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. 199

The POPULAR CHURCH JESUS who does not demand allegiance, commitment, or obedience to God’s Commandments, and one that does not understand that we have to “be dead with him” [II Timothy 2:10-11] in order that “they may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.” Possibly, the most important item of unbelief is in what the true Jesus Christ says, If you love Me, keep My Commandments. In doctrine, the popular church campaigns against keeping the Commandments of God.

Mr. Kennedy asks the question, “Can we indulge in compromise with ‘False Christs,’ with Another Gospel,’ ‘Another Spirit,’ and ‘Another Jesus’?”435 The answer is found in II Corinthians 11:4, 14-15: For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another Gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. For such are false apostles, deceitful works, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. The Bible says ABSOLUTELY NOT! Mr. Kennedy then asks another question, “Can we fellowship with those who follow any of the ‘Christs’ above and expect our reward?”436 That answer is found in II John 7-9: For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. The Bible also says ABSOLUTELY NOT! The Bible clearly states that “THIS IS A DECEIVER AND AN ANTICHRIST!” According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament, the word: 435. Ibid. 436. Ibid.

Antichristos (#G500); gen. antichristou, masc. noun from anti (#G473), instead of or against, and Christos (#G5547), Christ, anointed. Antichrist, literally an opposer of Christ or one who usurps the place of Christ, found only in John’s Epistles and collectively meaning all who deny that Jesus is the Messiah and that the Messiah is come in the flesh (I John 2:18, 22; 4:3; II John 1:7). We do not know exactly whom John had in mind, but most probably Jewish opposers to the Messiahship of Christ. It occurs nowhere else in the NT. Paul’s reference to the same person is called “the man of sin,” “son of perdition,” “wicked one” (anomos [#G459], lawless) as in II Thessalonians 2:3, 8. He is the one opposing Christ (antikeimenos [#G480]) as in II Thessalonians 2:4, asserting the fulfillment of God’s Word in himself and therefore, seeking to establish his own throne. Antichristos (Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22) is to be distinguished from pseudochristos [#G5580], a false Christ, the antichristos does not deny the existence of Christ, but takes advantage of the fact of the expectation of the appearance of Christ. He thus deceives the people in believing that he is “the Christ,” whereas, the antichrist denies the existence of the true God.437 In the OT, we have the intimation of someone who will be opposed to the Lord and His anointed (Psalm 2; Ezekiel 38; 39; Zechariah 12-14; see Daniel 7:8, 20f.; 8:24; 11:28, 30, 36f., which read in conjunction with II Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 13:1-8).438 In His Olivet Discourse, our Lord warns against “the false Christs” and “the false prophets” (Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22).439 In II Thessalonians 2:1-12, Paul asserts that, before the day of Christ (the day of the rapture of the Church described in I Thessalonians 4:13-17), there must come first an apostasy or a standing off, and the man of sin, the Antichrist, will be revealed. He will sit in the new temple yet to be rebuilt under his own direction during the first three and onehalf years of the seven-year period of the tribulation. He will demonstrate great satanic power and will perform signs and lying wonders. The Lord will slay this Antichrist at His Second Coming (Revelation 20:10). In I John 2:18, attention is drawn to the antichrists already existing and working against Christ, but the real Antichrist, whose coming was erroneously expected by the early Church was not included here (see I John 2:22; 4:3; II John 1:7).440 Revelation 17:8 refers to the beast, which should be connected with the beast of Daniel 78. He claims and wins respect equal to that of God and makes war on God’s people. He rules for three and one-half years over the earth and is finally destroyed by the Lord in a great battle.441 437.

Syn.: pseudochristos (#G5580), a false Christ.442 According to Calmet’s Dictionary of the Holy Bible: Antichrist, the name of that Man of Sin, who is expected to precede the second coming of our Saviour; and who is represented in Scripture, and in the Fathers, as the epitome of every thing impious, cruel, and abominable. To him is referred what the prophets have said of Antiochus Epiphanes, of Gog and Magog, of the Son of Perdition, and of the Man of Sin, mentioned by Paul, which many have applied historically to Nero. For it may be said, that Nebuchadnezzar, Cambyses, Antiochus Epiphanes, and Nero, were so many antichrists, or forerunners of antichrist. John informs us, that in his time there were many antichrists; meaning heretics and persecutors, I John 2:18. But antichrist, the true, real antichrist, who is to come before the universal judgment, will in himself include all the marks of wickedness, which have been separately extant in different persons, his types, or forerunners. Paul in II Thessalonians 2:3-4 says, “That this man of sin, this son of perdition, this enemy of God, shall exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so as to sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.443 A tradition seems to have been received among the ancients, that antichrist should be born of some Jewish family, and of the tribe of Dan. The most ancient commentators on the Revelation were of opinion, that John’s omission of the name of Dan, in his enumeration of the tribes of Israel, (Revelation 7:5) proceeded from his foreknowledge, that antichrist should arise from this tribe. And how should he arise from this tribe since the Jews dwell no longer in Judea, or, at least, are no longer masters of that country? Why, he will come, say these fathers, from the other side of the Euphrates, from Babylonia, where some suppose that the remainder of the ten tribes (and in particular of the tribe of Dan) subsists still. This opinion followed by almost all who have written since Jerome, in whose time it was common. As to the parents of antichrist, interpreters are not agreed. Some think his father will be a devil, and his mother some corrupt woman; others think, that antichrist will be himself a devil incarnate. Hilary thought that Satan would appear in the person of antichrist, and endeavor to persuade the world that he is God, by working false miracles. As our Lord was born of a virgin, says Hippolytus, so will antichrist boast of having derived his birth from a virgin also; but, whereas the Son of God took upon him real flesh, antichrist, says that author, will assume only the appearance, the image, or phantom of flesh. Chrysostom, Theodoret, Theophylact, and others, hold that antichrist will be a real man, though an agent of Satan, in exercising his cruelty and malice against the faithful.444 It remains to state some ideas as to the dominion of antichrist. It has been supposed by some writers, that he will be born in Babylonia - that he will there lay the foundation of his empire – that the Jews will be the first to declare for him, to acknowledge his 442.

dominion, and to enjoy the principal employments in his government. He will win them by his delusion, his false miracles, and by all the appearances of goodness, piety and clemency; so that this unhappy people will take him for their Messiah; and will flatter themselves with the expectation of seeing the kingdom of Israel restored by his means to its former splendor. After he has subdued Egypt, Ethiopia, and Libya, say the same authors, he will march against Jerusalem, which he will easily conquer, - and there establish the seat of his empire. Gog and Magog will then oppose him; he will give them battle, and defeat them without difficulty, in the midst of Palestine; see Ezekiel 37, 38. After this, he will direct all his endeavors to the destruction of Christ’s kingdom, and the persecution of Christians: he will exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he, as God, shall sit in the temple of God; (II Thessalonians 2:4) in the temple of Jerusalem; which he will rebuild. Some of the ancients believed, that he will be seated in the churches of Christians, (the temples of God,) and there receive the adoration of great numbers of apostates, who will renounce the faith of Christ. Scripture does not mention the duration of antichrist’s kingdom: but in several places, it seems to allow three years and half, for the continuance of his persecutions: at least it assigns three years and a half, for the persecutions of those who are considered as figures of antichrist.445 According to Smith’s Bible Dictionary, the word, Antichrist: This term is employed by the Apostle John alone, and is defined by him in a manner, which leaves no doubt as to its intrinsic meaning. With regard to its application, there is less certainty. In the first passage – I John 2:18 – in which it occurs, the Apostle makes direct reference to the false Christs whose coming, it had been foretold, should mark the last days. In v. 22, we find, “he is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son;” and still more positively, “every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of antichrist.” Compare II John 7. From these emphatic and repeated definitions, it has been supposed that the object of the Apostle in his First Epistle was to combat the errors of Cerinthus, the Docetae and the Gnostics on the subject of the Incarnation. (The denied the union of the divine and human in Christ.)446 The coming of Antichrist was believed to be foretold in the “vile person” of Daniel’s prophecy, Daniel 11:21, which received its first accomplishment in Antiochus Epiphanes, but of which the complete fulfillment was reserved for the last times. He is identified with “the man of sin, the son of perdition.” II Thessalonians 2:3. This interpretation brings Antichrist into close connection with the gigantic power of evil, symbolized by the “beast,” Revelation 13, who received his power from the dragon (i.e., the devil, the serpent of Genesis), continued for forty and two months, and was invested with the kingdom of the ten kings who destroyed the harlot Babylon, Revelation 17:12, 17, the city of seven hills. The destruction of Babylon is to be followed by the rule of Antichrist for a short period, Revelation 17:10, to be in his turn overthrown in “the battle of that 445. Ibid. 446. Smith, A Dictionary Of, 43.

great day of God Almighty,” Revelation 16:14, with the false prophet and all his followers. Revelation 19. The personality of Antichrist is to be inferred, as well as from the personality of his historical precursor as from that of him to whom he stands opposed. Such an interpretation is to be preferred to that which regards Antichrist as the embodiment and personification of all powers and agencies inimical to Christ, or of the Antichristian might of the world.447 According to Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary, the term: Antichristos, in the Greek, can mean either ‘against Christ’ or ‘instead of Christ,’ or perhaps, combining the two, ‘one who, assuming the guise of Christ, opposes Christ’ (Wescott). The word is found only in John’s Epistles, (a) of the many ‘antichrists,’ who are forerunners of the ‘Antichrist’ himself, I John 2:18, 22; II John 7; (b) of the evil power, which already operates anticipatively of the ‘Antichrist,’ John 4:3. What the Apostle says of him so closely resembles what he says of the first beast in Revelation 13, and what the Apostle Paul says of the Man of Sin in II Thessalonians 2, that the same person seems to be in view in all these passages, rather than the second beast in Revelation 13, the false prophet; for the latter supports the former in all his Antichristian assumptions.448 Vine notes that this term: Pseudo-Christos (Strong’s #G5580, which means a ‘Spurious Messiah’ or a ‘False Christ,’ and comes from #G5771 ‘pseudes,’ which means, “Untrue, i.e. erroneous, deceitful, wicked – false, liar,” and #G5547 ‘Christos,’ which means, “Anointed, i.e. The Messiah, an epithet of Jesus Christ is to be distinguished from the above; it is found in Matthew 24:24 and Mark 13:22. The false Christ does not deny the existence of Christ; he trades upon the expectation of His appearance, affirming that he is the Christ. The Antichrist denies the existence of the true God.449 According to Noah Webster’s American Dictionary Of The English Language, Antichrist is: A great adversary of Christ; the man of sin; described I John 2:18; II Thessalonians 2; Revelation 9. Protestants generally suppose this adversary to be the Papal power; and some divines believe that, in a more general sense, the word extends to any persons who deny Christ, or oppose the fundamental doctrines of Christianity.450 447.

According to Arthur W. Pink: Names are used in Scripture with marvelous discrimination. The precision with which names are used in the Bible is especially noticeable in connection with the Divine titles…Over 300 names and titles are given to the Lord Jesus Christ, and each has its own distinctive significance, and to substitute any other for the one used would destroy the beauty and perfections of every passage where they are found. Names are employed to express character; titles are used to denote relationships. It is only as we make a careful study of the various and numerous names and titles of the Lord Jesus Christ, that we are in a position to appreciate His infinite excellencies and the manifold relationships which He sustains. From an opposite standpoint, the same is equally true of the Antichrist. As we pay careful attention to the different names and titles which are given to him, we then discover what a marvelously complete delineation the Holy Spirit has furnished us with the person, the character, and career of this monster of wickedness. The names and titles given to the Antichrist are far more numerous than is commonly supposed.451 With that in mind, here is a list compiled by Arthur W. Pink,452 and Chuck Missler and Ron Matsen:453 These are the Old Testament Allusions to the Antichristos: The Abominable Branch: The Abomination of Desolation: The Adversary:

The Willful King:

These are the New Testament Allusions to the Antichristos: Abaddon/Apollyon: The Angel of the Bottomless Pit: The Antichrist: The Beast: The False Prophet: The Father of the Lie: The Lawless One: The Man of Sin: The One Who Comes In His Own Name: The Prince of Darkness: The Son of Perdition: The Star: The Unclean Spirit: The Vine of the Earth:

Revelation 9:11 Revelation 9:11 I John 2:22 Revelation 11:7; 13 Revelation 13 John 8:44; II Thessalonians 2:11 II Thessalonians 2:8 II Thessalonians 2:3 John 5:43 I Thessalonians 5 I Thessalonians 2:3 Revelation 8:10; 9:1 Matthew 12:43; and Revelation 14:18

Arthur W. Pink concludes: At every point, he (Antichrist) is the antithesis of Christ. The word ‘Antichrist’ has a double significance. Its primary meaning is one who is opposed to Christ; but its secondary meaning is one who is instead of Christ…Not only does anti-christ denote the antagonism of Christ, but tells of one who is instead of Christ. The word signifies 206

another Christ, a pro-Christ, an alter-christus, a pretender to the name of Christ. He will seem to be and will set himself up as the true Christ. He will be the Devil’s counterfeit. Just as the Devil is an Anti-theos – not only the adversary of God, but the usurper of the place and prerogatives of God, demanding worship; so the Son of Perdition will be antichrist, not only the antagonist and opponent of Christ, but His rival: assuming the very position the very position and prerogatives of Christ; passing himself off as the rightful claimant to all the rights and honors of the Son of God.454 According to Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, the term Antichristos is used four times in the books of I and II John: I John 2:18 states, “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have that antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” I John 2:22 states, “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.” I John 4:3 states, “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” Finally, II John 7 states, “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” So, how does one guard again Antichrist(s) or False Teachers? In I John 2:18-23, John discusses: 1. 2. 3. 4.

The warning against antichrist (v. 18); The origin of antichrists (v. 19); The protection against antichrists (vv. 20-21); and The false teaching of antichrists (vv. 22-23).

John warns believers (us) that: 1.

They must know that it is the last time, that the midnight hour is about to strike for the end of the world;

454. Pink, The Antichrist, 62.

2.

3.

They must know that it is the time for The ANTICHRIST and that believers (us) must be alert to the fact that THE ANTICHRIST can appear upon the scene of world history anytime; and There are many antichrists now, many who oppose and stand against Christ, that the antichrist has his forerunners just as Jesus Christ had His prophets as forerunners and that there are many false prophets and teachers on the world scene today.

There are many persons who are denying that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, in that they are denying: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

His deity; That He is the sinless Son of God; His death and resurrection; His Lordship; and His Return to Earth.455

Where do Antichrists come from? Well, according to I John 2:19: They come from WITHIN the church, in that they hold positions of leadership WITHIN the church, but they were not true believers. They did not honestly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Saviour of the World. They professed Christ, were baptized, and joined the church, and they even became teachers and ministers in the church, BUT they were NOT true believers.456 How does a believer protect himself/herself against the Antichrist? God does two things: 1. 2.

He gives an unction (chrisma – Strong’s #G5545, which means, “anointing,”)457 to the believer, and He gives the truth to the believer in two ways: a. In Jesus Christ, who is truth (John 14:6; and b. The Word of God, the Holy Scriptures or Holy Bible (John 8:31-32).

Who is a False Teacher? John 2:22 defines this, “Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ: He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.” Two terrible things are said about this person: 1.

He is a liar; and

2.

He denies the Father, if he denies the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

So, how does one deny Jesus Christ? First, if a person denies that God sent His Son into the world, then his image of God differs entirely from the God who is the Father of Jesus Christ. God sent His Son into the world. Second, any person who denies Jesus Christ is denying the New Testament, which states that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the one Person who reveals God the Father to the world.458 According to I John 4:1-6, Christians are commanded to test the Spirits of False Teachers in that all believers must: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Test the spirits of teachers (v. 1); Test the confession of teachers (vv. 2-3); Test themselves (v. 4); and Test the followers of the teachers (vv. 5-6).

John tells believers that we must test the spirits of teachers in order to make sure that they are of God, Second, John tells us to test the confession of teachers – What is it that makes a teacher true or false? (Jesus Christ), i.e.: 1. 2. 3.

What a man believes about Jesus Christ makes the teacher true or false; What a man confesses about Jesus Christ exposes his spirit, a spirit of truth or a spirit of error; and What it is about Jesus Christ that exposes a teacher: the incarnation. That is, did Jesus Christ come in the flesh or not?459

John states that a believer is also to test himself/herself. Well, how does one do that? There are two ways: 1. 2.

Ask yourself if you are of God; that is, have you been born of God? And As yourself if you are overcoming the spirits of false teachers?

Therefore, if you are following a teacher who denies the incarnation, that the Son of God has come in the flesh, then you are not of God. You are not born of God. BUT, if you have rejected the teachings of men, who deny the incarnation of Jesus Christ, then you are born of God.460 458. Ministries and Inc, The Preacher's Outline, 888–89. 459. Ibid., 916–21. 460. Ibid., 919–20.

209

So, how does a believer test the followers of teachers? Believers can look at the people who follow teachers and tell whether a teacher is false or not, i.e.: 1. 2. 3.

False teachers are followed by people who are worldly; False teachers speak from the viewpoint of the world; and The world hears false teachers, whose message appeals to man.461

Lastly, in II John, John tells believers to: 1. 2.

3.

4.

5.

Guard against deceivers (v. 7); Watch yourself: a. Do not lose the things you have already worked for; and b. Receive a full reward (v. 8); Do not too far: a. Abide in the teaching of Christ; and b. Prove your salvation (v. 9); Do not receive a deceiver: a. Do not compromise; and b. Guard your testimony (vv. 10-11); and Conclusion: Much exhortation is needed (vv. 12-13).462

John also commands believers to: 1. 2.

Guard against deceivers, who are imposters, who claim to be followers of Christ, but they are not at all, and Continues to admonish that: a. There are many deceivers in the world; b. He who is a deceiver is a person, who denies that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh; and c. He should be called an antichrist, since he is a deceiver.463

This is the Biblical basis for what the LORD God defined as the Antichristos in Scripture. He told believers who to look for and what characteristics to judge by. Further, believers know that the Antichrist is the physical Seed of the Serpent and is the antithesis of Jesus Christ. He was foretold in the Bible in Genesis 3:15 as the Seed of the Serpent, he denies the deity and the 461. Ibid., 920–21. 462. Ibid., 971–73. 463. Ibid.

210

existence of Jesus Christ, and comes by many names and titles. Whether the Ecclesia of Jesus Christ will recognize him or his system, is the question. As true Christians, believers are commanded/admonished to be watchmen on the wall, like the sons of Issachar. The “Jews” accepted Alexander the Great, the Christians and the Muslims accepted Adolf Hitler. Who will everyone accept today? How blind are Christians today? Will Christians truly recognize the Antichrist? Watch who defends and pleases “Israel” the most…

CHAPTER 19 AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN OF THE GENTILES, UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED. PART I: THE ANTICHRIST IN DANIEL 2 Before discussing Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, two concepts need to be defined: The Times of the Gentiles and The Fulness of the Gentiles. The term, Gentile has been dealt with in an earlier chapter, but just in case you forgot: The word “nations” has been translated many, different ways from the Hebrew and the Greek into the English in the King James Version. For example: Hebrew to English Translation: Strong’s #H1471464 GOY/GOYIM: 557 Times

In Luke 21:24, Jesus states in the Temple Discourse about the destruction of Jerusalem: 464. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H26. 465. Ibid., G26. 466. Ibid., G29.

212

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. So, what did Jesus mean? In His witness to the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus said unto her in John 4:1-26: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands; and he who thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. Jesus knew that Israel had cheated on the LORD God with five world empires, and was currently cheating with the Roman Empire, during which time, the Book of Revelation was written during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian (81-96 A.D.), thus bringing to a close Israel’s Biblical history.467 Most scholars begin with Egypt as the first empire; however, Israel was not a formal country as yet under the LORD God as a theocracy, when Moses gave them the Law on the day of Pentecost. IF not, then most scholars begin with Assyria (745-606 B.C.), but the problem is that Assyria never controlled Jerusalem, SO, those empires which controlled Jerusalem/Palestine were: 1.

2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Neo-Babylon (606-539 B.C.):Under Nebuchadnezzar, the Remnant of the Southern Two Tribes of Judah and Benjamin were taken, and Jerusalem was razed. Medo-Persia (539-331 B.C.): Under 45,000 of the captives of Judah are allowed to return to Jerusalem. Greece (321-143 B.C.): Israel was under the control of the Seleucids of Syria. Hasmonean (142-63 B.C.) 7 “Israel” Kings who were a Beast Empire of combined dynastic rule as kings and high priests. Rome (63 B.C.-637 A.D.) Palestine was controlled by both Western and Byzantine Rome Islamic Caliphates under: a. The Rashidun Caliphate ruling from Medina, Arabia (637-661); b. The Umayyad Caliphate ruling from Damascus (661-750); c. The Abbasid Caliphate ruling from Baghdad (750-1258);

d. The Mamluk Empire/Caliphate ruling from Cairo (1258-1517); and e. The Ottoman Empire/Caliphate ruling from Istanbul (1517-1917). The British Empire: Controlled Palestine for a short time then (1917-1947) transferred the “land” to the United Nations “Israel” (November 29, 1947):Created and Partitioned by United Nations Resolution #181 on paper. “Israel” (May 14, 1948): Taken by force physically by Irgun from the Palestinians to this day and ruled by 13 Prime Ministers and 10 Presidents since 1948.

Remember Revelation 17 and 18? The 7 is of the 8? Rather interesting… Is “Israel” truly the 12 tribes of The Biblical Nation of Israel, i.e. The Two Sticks of Ezekiel 37 (The 10 Northern Tribes of the House of Israel and The Two Southern Tribes of the House of Judah) brought together by The LORD God of Israel? Or is this an imposter Edomite “Israel” brought together by the Rothschilds? More on this in a later chapter…think Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Remember, the Beast is Red. Esau was red; Esau was the father of the Edomites; and Edom was red. Think Geometrically… Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum defines the Times of the Gentiles as: That period of time from the Babylonian Empire to the Second Coming of the Messiah, during which time the Gentiles will have dominance over the City of Jerusalem…The Times of the Gentiles can only end when the Gentiles can no longer tread down the City of Jerusalem.468 Dr. John Phillips Concurs as well: For the Times of the Gentiles will terminate with the coming, career, and collapse of the Antichrist. For at least three and a half years, he will hold Jerusalem in bondage and will be ravishing the City at the very moment when Christ’s feet touch upon the Mount of Olives. The current control of Jerusalem by the Jews is only temporary. It does indicate, however, how close we are to the end times and the termination of the ‘Times of the Gentiles.’ But those times are not over yet; they will not be over until the descent of that stone cut without hands – until the return of Christ, that is, and the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom…The ‘Times of the Gentiles,’ has to do with Israel’s secular power 468. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, The Times of the Gentiles (Ariel Ministries No. MBS029, 2005), 4.

over the nation, temporarily in abeyance. The period of Gentile dominion over Jerusalem began with Nebuchadnezzar and will end with the Antichrist, the last Roman Emperor.469 According to J.R. Church, the emphasis about “the Times of the Gentiles has to do only with Israel’s violation of the law of the Sabbatical years as defined in Leviticus 25 and 26.”470 Paul, in his promise of Israel’s restoration in Romans 11:25 states: For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles (Nations) be come in. So, what did Paul mean? Historically, Hebrew had already become a dead language by the time of Jesus Christ, as the vernacular of the people was Aramaic, and the commonly used text was the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament. According to John Phillips: The fact that half of the book of Daniel was written in Aramaic was a warning in itself, the first shadow on the moon of Israel’s spiritual ascendancy, warning of a coming eclipse. The murder of their Messiah was the last straw. God tore spiritual supremacy from the Jews, just as centuries earlier He had torn away their secular supremacy, and He gave that spiritual ascendancy to the Gentiles.471 Remember, the definitions at the beginning of this book. We are only dealing with The House of Israel, The House of Judah, The House of David, The Ecclesia, Those Who Say They Are Judahites, etc. So, just what exactly did Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, see in his dream? According to Daniel 2:31-35:

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote that image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. According to Chuck Missler: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Gold has a specific gravity of 19.5; Silver has a specific gravity of 10.5; Brass has a specific gravity of 8.5; Iron has a specific gravity of 5.0; and Clay has a specific gravity of 1.9.472

As one can see, the metals were given in a particular order: Decreasing in value but increasing in strength until the statue reached its feet of clay. Silver is stronger than gold; brass is stronger than silver; and iron is stronger than brass. However, the entire structure has feet of iron and clay, leading to its ultimate weakness and failure. The term ‘feet of clay’ has become a popular cliché for a person’s shortcomings.473 Now, as to the interpretation of this dream, which “revolves around three factors: 1. 2. 3.

Domination; Deterioration; and Disintegration.474

Daniel stated to King Nebuchadnezzar: This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold (Daniel 2:36-38). According to Dr. Phillips, world domination was given to Nebuchadnezzar, in that: 472.

The head is the most important member of the body, and gold is the most precious of all metals. This dual symbolism spoke of an absolute monarch. Other kings sat upon the throne of Babylon, but the vision ignores them…Nebuchadnezzar was the one who conquered Jerusalem.475 Next came deterioration in Daniel 2:39-43: And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter’s clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. The deterioration in the succeeding world empires is seen in: The way the vision moves from the head of the breast and arms, from the breast and arms to the belly and thighs, from the belly and thighs to the legs, and finally to the feet, which walk in the dust…The successive world empires of prophecy were not marked so much by a decline in the vastness and extent of their territorial gains as in the real power of the head of state. Nebuchadnezzar was an absolute monarch (‘whom he would he slew’). The government of Medo-Persia was a government by law. The king could not change edicts once they were read into law. The Greek Empire was irresistible in the days of Alexander although even he, as brilliant and as successful as he was, was curbed by his generals. Moreover, they wasted no time in carving up his empire among themselves once their lord was dead.476 Tim LaHaye states that: The first world empire was Babylon itself, represented by the head of gold, in that Nebuchadnezzar would have well understood this as a reference to his kingdom, whose chief deity, Marduk, was known as the ‘god of gold.’ In addition, gold had been employed lavishly throughout the city.477 He further states that: 475.

The second world empire in succession was depicted as two silver arms merging into a chest, indicating an empire composed of two nations (a dual monarchy). While this chapter does not give sufficient information to help determine the identity of this empire; however, other chapters in Daniel make it clear that this was the Medo-Persian Empire which conquered Babylon on October 11-12, 539 B.C.478 LaHaye continues: The third world empire, symbolized by the statue’s midsection and thighs of bronze, was predicted to rule over all the earth (Daniel 2:39). The Greek Empire, begun by Philip of Macedon and extended by his son Alexander to the farthest reaches of the then-known world, qualifies as this third kingdom…This third kingdom was characterized by bronze, which the Greeks used extensively in their weapons of war.479 However, this is where the Body of Christ is divided. Since the 1970’s, Bible teachers such as Mark Hitchcock, Thomas Ice, Grant Jeffrey, Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, Chuck Missler, John Phillips, Chuck Smith, and John Walvoord have taught and preached that the legs of iron represented the Roman Empire, and that the feet and toes mixed with iron and clay represented a resurrected Roman Empire. The question then becomes, “How did this theory come about?” Mark Davidson answers this question in his book, Daniel Revisited, wherein he covers the history of the commentary on Daniel 2:40. Mr. Davidson states that: The main purpose of this history is not to argue that Rome is not the fulfillment of Daniel 2:40…but to show how the commentaries supporting this erroneous position regarding Daniel 2:40 got started and evolved, and to show how these same commentaries actually contributed to the sealing of Daniel even for people living in the end times.480 Mr. Davidson states that this theory started with: A supposition by Hippolytus, a bishop of Rome after 200 A.D., in which he wrote 478.

The legs of iron…expressed the Romans, who hold the sovereignty at present,” which then became an assumption by Jerome, the great church father, who wrote in 408 A.D., ‘Now the Fourth Empire, which clearly refers to the Romans, is the iron empire which breaks in pieces and overcomes all others,” and furthered by John Calvin in the 1560’s, who stated “Here the Fourth Empire is described, which agrees ONLY with the Romans, for we know that the four successors of Alexander were at length subdued…In 1712, Matthew Henry, in his commentary, stated, ‘The Roman Kingdom was strong as iron, witness the prevalency of that kingdom against all that contended with it for many ages. That kingdom broke in pieces the Grecian empire and afterwards quite destroyed the nation of the Jews.481 Then the assumption grew into common knowledge with the arrival of the 19th Century wherein Albert Barnes, a Presbyterian theologian, stated, ‘It is scarcely necessary to observe that this description is applicable to the Roman power. In nothing more was it more remarkable than its strength, for that irresistible power before which all other nations were perfectly weak. Finally, common knowledge turned into canon in the 20th Century. The Lockman Foundation, an interdenominational ministry, published the Amplified Bible in 1962, which translated Daniel 2:40 as, ‘And the fourth kingdom [Rome] shall be as strong as iron, since iron breaks to pieces and subdues all things; and like iron which crushes, it shall break and crush all these.482 This is the Bible translation which Hal Lindsey, the modern-day father of the Roman antichrist theory, used in his book, The Late Great Planet Earth, in 1970. Obviously, this theory became canon with over 15 million copies of this book being sold to date! However, canon became a RED HERRING! The centuries-old assumption of a revived Roman Empire being the base of Antichrist acted as a red herring, keeping untold millions of Christians from seeing what they truly needed to see – the antichrist emerging from the nations of the Middle East.483 Thus, it is the identity of this fourth empire that is in question. Depending on which empire it is, it completely changes the picture of end time prophecy. So, is it Rome or some other empire? John Phillips, an adherer to the Roman antichrist theory, continues: In the final phase of the empire, the iron was mixed with miry clay (2:42). The clay clearly symbolizes the democratic element that was prominent in the Roman Empire. In 481. Ibid., 270–74. 482. Ibid., 275–76. 483. Ibid., 17.

spite of the admixture of clay, the strength of the iron remained right down to the feet and toes. Wherever the iron could be maintained, strength would in evidence; wherever the whims and wishes of the people could prevail, weakness would result. Efforts to weld the two, dictatorship and democracy, would fail, just as all efforts to weld iron to clay must fail…Finally will come the disintegration (2:44-45). The final phase of Gentile world-empire will embrace all of the features of the Babylonia, Persian, Greek, and Roman Empires, and the ten kings will dominate all of the territory once held by these empires. Moreover, the antichrist, for a brief period, will control the whole world. The last of the Gentile kings will inherit fully the principle of world-empire that was given to Nebuchadnezzar, the first of the Gentile kings. Destruction will overwhelm the final Gentile Empire.484 The Chaldean word for kingdom is malkuw (Strong’s #4437, which is a derivative of malkuwth – Strong’s #4438, and means, “a rule, dominion, empire, kingdom, realm, reign, royal.”485 Mark Davidson defines kingdom as realm, in which there was: 1. 2. 3. 4.

A Babylonian Realm (Head of Gold); A Persian Realm (Chest and Arms of Silver); A Hellenized Realm (Belly and Thighs of Brass): A combination of Alexander’s Empire and all of the Roman Empires; and An Islamic Realm (Legs of Iron/Feet of Toes of Iron Mixed with Clay).486

The Chaldean word for mixed is arab (Strong’s #6151, which means, “to comingle, mingle, mix.”487 This is affirmed by Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible.488 Is the Holy Spirit through Daniel telling the world where the Fourth Empire comes from? Mark Davidson goes on to define the Islamic Realm as: 1. 2. 3. 4.

The Rashidun Caliphate (The Four Rightly Guided Caliphs) ruling from Medina in Arabia (632-661); The Umayyad Caliphate ruling from Damascus (661-750); The Abbasid Caliphate ruling from Baghdad (750-1258); The Mamluk Empire/Caliphate ruling from Cairo (1258-1519); and

The Ottoman Empire/Caliphate ruling from Istanbul (1519-1924).489

From 1924 to the present, the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as a host of other Islamist groups, have kept Islam alive and thriving to the tune of 1.6 billion adherents today.490 Since 1924, the Muslims have been trying to achieve a worldwide Caliphate, but to no avail. However, since 1967, there has been progress in the form of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (O.I.C.), which is an Economic Caliphate, consisting of 56 nation states plus the Palestinian people,491 and since 2014, I.S.I.S. – The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria a/k/a I.S.I.L. – The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant a/k/a I.S. – The Islamic State, which is attempting to be a Political/Military Caliphate.492 Both groups are Sunni... Historically, Islam is a political system with religious laws at its core, and it has broken in pieces – “deqaq in the Aramaic, which is Strong’s #1854, which means “to break or crumble into pieces; pulverize, make dust),493 the original religions and languages of the Babylonian, MedoPersian, and Greco-Roman Empires, as well as subjugated the cultures of all the peoples it as afflicted. According to Will Durant: The non-Muslim populations adopted the Arabic language and dress, the laws and faith of the Qur’an.

raised rebellious heresies, Muhammadenism had secured, almost without proselytism, not only belief and worship, but a tenacious fidelity that quite forgot the superceded gods.494 In other words, Satan created a monotheistic religion to mirror that of Christianity and Judaism and offered the children of Abraham another way to paradise or perdition. Other pioneers/proponents of the Islamic Antichrist/Beast theory are R.C. Morro in his book, Antichrist: The Search for Amalek; John Preacher in his book, The Islamic Antichrist; John Price in his book, The End of America, Joel Richardson in his books, The Islamic Antichrist and The Mideast Beast; Walid Shoebat in his books, God’s War on Terror and The Case for Islamophobia; Jack Smith in his book, Islam, the Cloak of Antichrist; James Stone in his book, Islamic Apocalypse; Perry Stone in his book, Unleashing the Beast; T.W. Tramm in his book, From Abraham to Armageddon; and John Wiertzema in his book, Islam, Whore of Babylon. Now, what is interesting, is that Chuck Missler and to some extent, Hal Lindsey, are coming around to at least offering this as an alternative to the Roman Antichrist Theory, stating that there were two parts to the Roman Empire: a Western Leg and an Eastern Leg… Regardless of which empire is represented by the legs of iron and the feet and toes of iron mixed with miry clay, Daniel concludes: And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all the kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold: the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof. So, who is the Stone Kingdom which: 1. 2.

CHAPTER 20 AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN OF THE GENTILES, UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED. PART II: THE ANTICHRIST IN DANIEL 7 AND 11, REVELATION 13 AND 17 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. The four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raise up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this, I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things (Daniel 7:2-8). Most commentators agree that King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2, represented by that which is most important to man (metals in decreasing value), and Daniel’s vision in Daniel 7, represented by that which is most important to God (His Creations), are one and the same, wherein: 1. 2. 3. 4.

The lion represents Babylon; The bear represents Medo-Persia; The leopard represents Greece; and The beast with 10 horns represents Rome.

According to Chris White: The lion/eagle symbolizes Nebuchadnezzar as the head of gold, wherein the lion, king of beasts, and the eagle, king of birds, correspond to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon…Winged lions have been recovered from the ancient ruins of Babylon, and Old Testament prophets refer to Nebuchadnezzar as both a lion (Jeremiah 4:7) and an eagle (Ezekiel 17:3). The physical changes which the lion goes through correspond to the

224

changes experienced by Nebuchadnezzar, and the ‘wings of eagles’ represent the swiftness of Nebuchadnezzar’s conquests.495 The bear, with one side raised higher than the other, symbolizes: The rise of the Persians over the Median Empire. Since the legs are raised, this indicates that the bear is about to attack, which symbolizes the Medo-Persian Empire’s desire to conquer. The ‘three ribs in its mouth’ symbolically depict the Medo-Persian Empire’s desire to conquer, as well as the three countries that it had previously conquered: Lydia, Babylonia, and Egypt. The command to ‘rise, devour much flesh,’ means that the MedoPersians should continue to make conquests.496 The leopard symbolically depicts: Swiftness and is blood thirsty, which were characteristics of the Greeks. The four wings of the leopard symbolically represent the unusual speed and action for which Greece was known in conquest, and the four heads symbolically represent Alexander’s four generals who split his empire into four parts: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Cassander: Macedonia and Greece; Lysimicus: Thrace, Bithynia, Asia Minor; Ptolemy (King of the South): Egypt, Cyrene, Arabia, Petraca; and Seleucus (King of the North): Syria and lands to the East all the way to India.497

The fourth beast is characterized by: By having great strength, and making conquests with decisiveness, fearfulness, and terror-inspiring tactics, which were characteristics of Rome throughout its limited history, i.e. Western Rome was invaded/taken over by the Goths in 476 A.D. and Eastern Rome was invaded/taken over by the Ottoman Muslims in 1453. The teeth of iron represent Rome with the legs of iron of the statue. The ten horns require 10 ruling kings at the same time, which did not occur during the Roman Empire, which necessitates a revival of the Roman Empire at some point in the future.498 This is the standard interpretation for Daniel 2 and 7. However, Daniel 7:12 states, “As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were 495.

prolonged for a season and a time. What does this mean? Is there another alternative to be considered? According to Daniel 7:2, Daniel saw “the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.” What are the four winds and what is the great sea? According to Charles Cooper: The four winds refer to the directions/cardinal points of the compass in Daniel 8:8 and 11:4, i.e. South, North, East, and West, in that order. History proves that the expression the four winds is typically a figure of speech expressing fragmentation. In the case of Alexander the Great, his kingdom, and his successors, the sense is more of fragmentation than that of a literal breakup of the kingdom in the four primary directions of the compass…Therefore, in light of the four winds, one is able to speak of a king of the South, a king of the North, a king of the East, and a king of the West. This fact is supported in Chapters 8 and 11 of Daniel.499 John Phillips concurs that: Palestine was the geographic center of the prophetic earth. The points of the compass are always given in Scripture with reference to Palestine as the center. The prophetic world reached as far North as Armenia, as far South as Ethiopia, as far West as Tarshish, as far East as China. The lands beyond these boundaries are largely ignored in Scripture. The prophetic Scriptures contain barely a hint of any power outside the Middle East and the Great Sea dominating the area in the days of the ten kings. True, Russia will invade Israel (Ezekiel 38-39), but only to be swept away, leaving the coast clear for the Antichrist to extend his power, temporarily at least, over the entire world.500 Cooper further states: The four kingdoms of Daniel 7 are also significantly associated with the compass directions from which they come. Clearly, this is God’s intent. Prior to the Lord’s return, the whole earth will be under the authority of four king’s /kingdoms. God will allow these rulers to come for the to initiate the final consummation of all things.501 In Genesis 14:1, Abraham, living in Canaan, came into contact with four kings: 1. 2. 3.

Tidal, King of Goyim (Strong’s #1471 meaning Gentile, heathen, nations, people.502

From Abraham’s standpoint in Canaan, Shinar was toward the South, Assyria was to the North, Elam was toward the East, and Goyim was to the West. These Kings ‘represented the four world quadrants,’ to Abraham at this time…So, for God to grant Abraham authority over the land of promise, the four kings listed in Genesis 14 had to be defeated. Abraham’s victory over the whole world, which was symbolically depicted in the four kings of Genesis 14:1, is a pattern soon to be repeated in connection with the Son of Man’s reception of the same authority over the whole world. Abraham’s victory over the whole world won him the right to claim the land of Canaan as his own just as God promised. It should not escape our attention that during the days that Abraham lived in the land of Canaan, no nation ruled over him, just as it will be when Christ rules over the world during His Millennial Reign.503 Today, most expositors believe that the king of the South is represented by the nations of Egypt and Northern Africa and the king of the North is represented by a confederation of Assyria and Northern Muslim nations (Daniel 8-11); while, the king of the East “will be represented by the nations East of the Euphrates River,”504 and the king of the West is “subsequently ruled by Antichrist.”505 So, is the king of the West, the same as the king of the goyim? According to John Phillips, the Great Sea: Refers to the Mediterranean Sea. All of the world empires of the Bible eventually, if not initially, held territory on the coastline of the Mediterranean. As Gentile world power began to move steadily westward, the Mediterranean became increasingly important until, by the time we come to the fourth world empire, the Great Sea was little more, indeed, than a Roman lake.506 Now, that is has been established that the four winds refer to the four Cardinal points of a compass, and that the Great Sea represents the Mediterranean Sea, are these four beasts/nations 502.

historically consecutive as is traditionally taught, or are they modern day nations that are reigning concurrently as alluded to in Daniel 7:12? According to David Hamblin: Each beast represents an end-time nation and its ruler. This theory holds that the statue with the golden head (Daniel 2) and Daniel’s four beasts cover different prophetic periods. The image covers historical empires, while the four beasts cover last days’ world powers. The number of passages showing several of these beasts appearing together supports this theory: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The leopard, bear, lion, and the beast rising out of the sea (Revelation 13:1-2); The lion, leopard, bear, and a wild beast, all seen just before God becomes their king (Hosea 13:6-8); A lion, bear, and a serpent (Amos 5:18-20); The feeblest among Israel fights as David, who defeated a lion, a bear, and Goliath (a beast) (Zechariah 12:8-9:1); and A lion, bear, and a wicked ruler (Proverbs 28:15).507

Hamblin continues: The difficulties in identifying the nations represented by Daniel’s beasts (the leopard in particular) have hampered this theory. Especially troubling is the scarcity of interpretational clues contained in either the book of Daniel or the rest of the Bible. This dearth of clues certainly makes it understandable why so many gravitate to the first interpretation. In fact, this scarcity forces the following analysis to look beyond the Bible for clues. By necessity, these discussions assume that these are the last days, and today’s geopolitical climate is foretold by these beasts.508 Daniel 7:3-4 describes the first of these beasts as a lion with wings of an eagle. Hamblin believes that: The lion has long been the symbol for England and is the most likely this symbol’s nation…Just as the eagle wings were a part of the lion and became a separate entity, the United States was a part of England and became an independent country represented by its national symbol: the eagle. The United States and other nations separating out of England might be the young lions referred to in Ezekiel 38:13 and in various references in Jeremiah, Nahum, Ezekiel, and Zechariah.509 507. Hamblin, Unveiling the Mysteries, 266. 508. Ibid. 509. Ibid., 267.

228

Daniel 7:5 describes the second beast as a flesh-devouring bear. Hamblin further believes that: This is an apt description of the Russian bear who has been cruel and merciless to its enemies and citizens. Under Stalin and Lenin, it put millions of Russians to death…Daniel’s bear lies on one side while watching from the other, suggesting a nation having a border needing little defense…The best theory suggests the three ribs represent three cruel rulers that ‘devour much flesh,’ and if this is the case, Lenin, and Stalin are two viable candidates, and third might be its future leader, Gog, who leads the sixth trumpet’s invasion of Israel.510 Daniel 7:6 describes the third beast as a leopard with four bird wings, four heads, and dominion (control of people and territory). Hamblin states: Scouring the Bible for possible end-time powers represented by the leopard, one comes across the sixth trumpet’s 200 million-man army, which is responsible for the destruction of a third of the world and Revelation 16’s kings of the East (likely this same army). After an exhaustive research on China, come to find out: (1) China has many different species of leopards, and several are native only to China; and (2) in 1997, China developed a new generation jet fighter and named it the flying leopard, which is eerily reminiscent of the World War II American fighter squadron based in China known as the Flying Tigers…If China is the leopard, then several open prophecy questions would be resolved and means Daniel’s first three beasts represent 20th and 21st Century’s great world powers: United States/England (lion); Russia (bear); and China (leopard). Therefore, Daniel’s fourth beast is either: (1) a revamped 10 nation European Union, or (2) the United Nations, which has divided the earth into 10 economic regions called kingdoms with the multiple nations in each kingdom ruled under a single governmental authority.511 By the way, there are only two people groups on this Earth that can master a 200 millionman army: China and Islam. Also, there is another alternative to who the fourth beast is. This author has researched the question, “Who has controlled Palestine since the Babylonian Captivity, i.e. 606 B.C.?” 1.

Neo-Babylon (606-539 B.C.):Under Nebuchadnezzar, the Remnant of the Southern Two Tribes of Judah and Benjamin were taken, and Jerusalem was razed.

Medo-Persia (539-331 B.C.): Under 45,000 of the captives of Judah are allowed to return to Jerusalem. Greece (321-143 B.C.): Israel was under the control of the Seleucids of Syria. Hasmonean (142-63 B.C.): Israel/Edomite Kings who were a Beast Empire of dynastic rule as king and high priest, Rome (63 B.C.-637 A.D.) Palestine was controlled by both Western and Byzantine Rome Islamic Caliphates under: a. The Rashidun Caliphate ruling from Medina, Arabia (637-661); b. The Umayyad Caliphate ruling from Damascus (661-750); c. The Abbasid Caliphate ruling from Baghdad (750-1258); d. The Mamluk Empire/Caliphate ruling from Cairo (1258-1517); and e. The Ottoman Empire/Caliphate ruling from Istanbul (1517-1917). The British Empire: Controlled Palestine for a short time then (1917-1947) transferred the “land” to the United Nations “Israel” (November 29, 1947):Created and Partitioned by United Nations Resolution #181 on paper. “Israel” (May 14, 1948): Taken by force physically by Irgun from the Palestinians to this day and ruled by 13 Prime Ministers and 10 Presidents since 1948.

Could the fourth beast be “Israel” with the 10 horns with claws of brass (Greece) and teeth of iron (Rome)? The bridge between the two empires? And received a deadly head wound… Regardless of which nations are represented by the four beasts, these nations rule concurrently: For in Daniel 7:10-14, God (The Ancient of Days) destroys the last beast and shows Him sparing the lives of the first three beasts for a season (3 months) and a time (12 months), i.e. 15 months. The first three beasts’ short-term survival seems to imply their long-term fate lies in the judgment of nations, while other Scripture suggest each survive this judgment and enter Jesus’ Millennial Reign.512 Chris White agrees with David Hamblin and describes this as: The contemporaneous beast view, wherein there is a dividing of the world into four parts in the time just before the Antichrist begins his rule. The Antichrist eventually takes control of one of those four kingdoms, which has ten rulers. He eventually conquers all four kingdoms through war and effectively rules the entire world in a new, amalgamated 512. Ibid., 271–72.

beast, as seen in Revelation 13:1-2; and that Daniel 11:36-45 describes how the Antichrist will be conquering all kinds of lands and kingdoms, then at some point, he will declare himself to be higher than God Himself in the ‘Holy Place’ in Jerusalem. At that point, the last three and a half years of his reign will begin. But before this, he is busy making war, conquering other kingdoms and establishing his domain. This is perhaps why the Book of Revelation says that one of the reasons the world marvels at the Antichrist is because of his war-making capability in Revelation 13:4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?513 So, in other words, Daniel 7 represents the Antichrist’s pre-wars, in which he is represented by the fourth beast. Daniel 11:36-45 describes the wars of the Antichrist: And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honor the god of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus, shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. He shall enter into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go for the with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. Daniel 11 ultimately links Daniel 7 to Revelation 13, wherein the Antichrist has conquered the whole world and is represented by: The beast having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And they worshipped the dragon 513. White, False Christ, 218.

which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And ALL that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:1-8). In Revelation 13, there are two beasts: one with ten horns and one with two horns. In the Old Testament, Israel was divided into two Kingdoms: The Northern 10 Tribed House of Israel and the Southern Two Tribed House of Judah. IF the Bible were only “about” Israel, could these “beast” kingdoms possibly be the corrupted Houses of Israel and Judah by Satan himself in the End Times, what commentators call the “Deep State”? According to Revelation 17:3-18: So he carried me (John) away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou 232

sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. What color is the beast now? Who is “Red” in the Bible? Who is Esau? Who is Edom? Who had the “head” wound? Who came back to life? Who will be laid desolate?

Scarlet (Red) Esau Esau is the brother of Jacob (Israel) and Father of Edom. Edomites are the descendants of Esau. “Judah” “Nation of the Jews,” i.e. “Israel” by President Truman “Judah”

According to Isaac’s statement to Esau in Genesis 27:39-40: Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; and by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. (Mystery Babylon?) Some scholars have suggested that because of the color of the beast, that the beast is Communism, which is Jewish by nature, because of the Bolshevik History of Communism.514 According to Frank L. Britton: Communism grew out of the wellspring of Judaism in the East, and was merely an expression of a larger issue which faces the world: that of ethno-centric Jewish Supremacism and its desire to control the social ordering of all other peoples on earth. Although the Soviet Union has disappeared, the ideology which underpinned that state – namely the idea of state-engineered economic and social egalitarianism – lives on, and indeed is stronger than ever before, especially in the so-called “anti-Communist” states of Western Europe and North America. Winston Churchill call Communism, ‘a worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality.’ This sums up perfectly the ideology which even today, more than two decades after the USSR’s collapse, forms the basis of the prevalent spiritual and political sickness which infests the Western World.515 Mr. Britton continues: 514. Frank L. Britton, Behind Communism, Updated, Revised and Expanded 1917-2010 (Ostara Publications, 2016). 515. Ibid., 1.

233

It is the ideology of equality and subservience to Jewish Supremacism which characterized Communism, which forms the basis of present-day liberal thought. It is this ideology which seeks to disarm, slander, and attack those Europeans who seek to maintain their nations for their own people and race. It is the ideology which seeks to flood the First World -and the First World only -with “immigrants” from the Third World. It is also the same ideology which, while demanding that the white West be “multicultural,” stridently demands that Israel be a “Jews-only” state, and that propagates Jewish isolation and ethnic identity outside of Israel. Left unchecked, this ideology will succeed in its ultimate aim of destroying Western Civilization, i.e. The Christian West.516 On Thursday, January 10, 1963, The Honorable A.S. Herlong, Jr. of Florida, in the House of Representatives, read and included in the RECORD, under UNANIMOUS CONSENT, Cleon Skousen’s The Naked Communist’s List of Current Communist Goals into the Congressional Record: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the United Nations. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the United Nations. Promote the United Nations as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party. Do away with all loyalty oaths. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. Gain control of all student newspapers. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy making positions. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.” Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.” Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.” Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.” Eliminate prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.” Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.” Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks, and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political, or social problems. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for selfgovernment. Internationalize the Panama Canal. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannon prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

So, how many of the above-stated Communist objectives have been achieved since 1963? Why are the younger generations of the world more apt to be socialist? Is the whole world turning “scarlet red”? Is it our turn for a “Bolshevik Revolution” in America? In 2020 America, how many Socialists/Communists are running as “Democrats” are running for President? Be careful… According to Ayn Rand: There is no difference between Communism and Socialism. Except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: Communism purposes to enslave men by force. Socialism – by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide. As President Trump stated to the United Nations on September 19, 2017, Venezuela is a prime example of how Socialism works and where it ends up! Look at their situation today. The United States may have to intervene, except it is being “protected” by Russia and China.

IF Communism is the Beast of Revelation 17, and Moscow, which sits on seven hills, is the capital of Communism, and has been since 1917, controls the Northern Hemisphere, i.e. Eastern Europe, with Beijing controlling the Eastern Hemisphere, i.e. China and the Third World, and New York City controlling the Western Hemisphere, i.e. England and Western Europe, THEN Esau has thrown off Jacob’s yoke, and is attempting to retake his inheritance. According to Dr. Angelo Rapport: There was not a political organization in the vast (Russian) Empire which was not influenced by the Jews or directed by them; the Social-Democrats, the Revolutionary Socialist Parties, the Polish Socialit Party, all counted Jews among their directors; Plehve was perhaps right when he said that the combat for political emancipation in Russia and the Jewish question were practically identical.517 According to Vicomte Leon De Poncins: Bolshevism (Judaism), this symbol of chaos and of the spirit of destruction, is above all an Anti-Christian and Anti-Social Conception. This present destructive tendency is clearly advantageous for only one national and religious entity: Judaism. The fact that Jews are the most active element in present day revolutions as well as in revolutionary socialism, that they draw to themselves the power forced from the peoples of other nations by revolution, is a fact in itself, independent of the question of knowing if that comes from organized worldwide Judaism, from Jewish Free Masonry or by an elementary evolution brought about by Jewish national solidarity and the accumulation of the capital in the hands of Jewish bankers. The contest is becoming more definite. The domination of revolutionary Judaism in Russia and the open support given to this Jewish Bolshevism by Judaism the world over finally clear up the situation, show the cards and put the question of the battle of Christianity against Judaism, of the National State against the International, that is to say, in reality, against Jewish World Power.518 According to Rabbi Harry Waton: The Communist soul is the soul of Judaism. Hence it follows that, just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of Communism was the triumph of Judaism, so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism.519 517. Angelo Rapport, The Pioneers of the Russian Revolution (PDF). 518. Vicomte Leon De Poncins, The Secret Powers Behind Revolution (PDF), 140. 519.

According to David R. Francis: The Bolshevik leaders here, most of whom are Jews and ninety percent of whom are returned exiles, care little for Russia or any other country, but are internationalists, and they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution.520 According to L’Illustration dated September 14, 1918: When one lives in contact with the functionaries who are serving the Bolshevik Government, one feature strikes the attention, which, is almost all of them are Jews. I am not at all anti-Semitic; but I must state what strikes the eye: everywhere in Petrograd, Moscow, in provincial districts, in commissariats, in district offices, in Smolny, in the Soviets, I have met nothing but Jews and again Jews…The more one studies the revolution the more one is convinced that Bolshevism is a Jewish movement which can be explained by the special conditions in which the Jewish people were placed in Russia. According to The American Hebrew dated September 10, 1920: The Bolshevist revolution [the 1917 Russian Revolution] was largely the outcome of Jewish idealism. According to The Jewish Chronicle dated September 22, 1922: The Bolshevist officials of Russia are Jews. The Russian Revolution with all its ghastly horrors was a Jewish movement. Ultimately, these same people ended up in the State of Israel Check the lineage of the Prime Ministers and Presidents of Israel. You will be surprised to find that many of them have Bolshevik backgrounds…By the way, Jerusalem sits on seven hills as well… With regard to The House of Judah, remember Daniel 9:24-27: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

To finish the transgression, and To make an end of sins, and To make reconciliation for iniquity, and To bring in everlasting righteousness, and To seal up the vision and prophecy, and To anoint the Most Holy.

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself: and The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and The end thereof shall be with a flood, and Unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

And He shall confirm the Covenant with Many for one week: and In the midst of the week He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and For the overspreading of abominations, He shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, And that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Kenneth Schortgen, in his book, The Israel Deception, believes that the entire prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 covers a period of 70 consecutive weeks. He states that: Logic requires that 70 weeks refers to one consecutive block of time, in other words, to 70 straight sequential weeks. The truth is, there is no example in the Bible of a stated time period starting, stopping, and then starting again. All Biblical references to time are consecutive: 1. 2. 3.

40 days and 40 nights (Genesis 7:4); 400 years in Egypt (Genesis 15:13); 70 years of captivity (Daniel 9:2); etc.

In Daniel’s prophecy, the 70 weeks were to begin during the rule of the Persians and continue to the time of Christ.521 Schortgen further states that, “Jesus Christ ceased the Old Covenant ways of sacrifice and oblation through His final sacrifice (on the cross), and at the moment of His Resurrection.”522 He further believes that there will NOT be a tribulation temple since Paul stated in I Corinthians 3:16, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 521. Kenneth Schortgen, The Israel Deception, Kindle Location 468. 522. Ibid.

Most Dispensational Evangelicals believe that there is gap between the 69th and the 70th Week of Daniel called the “Church Age.” However, this Author does not adhere to that theory. Jesus Christ fulfilled the New Covenant with the many (Israel) when He was crucified and rose from the dead on the Third Day. According to Matthew 21:17-22: And He (Jesus) left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and He lodged there. Now in the morning as He returned into the city, He hungered. And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Yahshuah states another parable in Matthew 21:33-44, in which He takes The Kingdom of YAHWEH away from The House of Judah and gives it to The House of Israel: Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, He sent His servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, He sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all He sent unto them His Son, saying, They will reverence My Son. But when the husbandmen saw the Son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill Him, and let us seize on His inheritance. And they caught Him, and cast Him out of the vineyard, and slew Him. When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will He do unto those husbandmen? They say unto Him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out His vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render Him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you (the House of Judah), and given to a nation (the House of Israel) bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Yahshuah spoke another parable with regard to the House of Judah in Luke 13:6-9:

240

A certain man had a fig tree planted in His vineyard;; and He came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said He unto the dresser of His vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto Him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that Thou shalt cut it down. Yahshuah pronounces judgment on The House of Judah in Matthew 23:37-39: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gethereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. Jesus warns His true people Israel that The House of Judah would come back to life in Matthew 24:32-35, even though He had cursed it forever in real life: Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: (May 14, 1948) So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Daniel’s people were of the House of Judah. Daniel prophesied the destruction/desolation of the House of Judah. Jesus came from and to the House of Judah. The mixed House of Judah rejected Jesus. Jesus condemned the House of Judah in Matthew 23:37-39. As prophesied by his father, Isaac, Esau/Edom has overthrown Jacob/Israel’s yoke, and has become a nation-state again. The abomination of desolation stands where it ought not. Remember, Jesus gave The House of Judah 40 Years to REPENT from the time of His Ascension. In 70 A.D., the Romans under Titus Vespasian razed the Temple and Jerusalem to the ground. In 73 A.D., Masada fell. Since then, the “Jews” have been kicked out of over 100 countries until 1948. The time clock on Jesus’ prophecies in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 is ticking. Remember, He told us to LEARN the parable of the Fig Tree…

What is a Biblical generation? Is it 120 years, 100 years, 70 years, 50 years, 40 years? August 31, 1897:

Does the 3rd Day, i.e. Millennial Reign begin in judgment, i.e. the Day of the Lord? Whatever you choose to be a “generation,” whether it be 120 years, 100 years, 70 years, 50 years, or 40 years, something had to have happened in 2017. All roads lead there…Oh, by the way, it was the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation and President Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States, different from his fellows… Regardless, the Great News is that YAHWEH is in charge and has already written this history in advance: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time (Daniel 7:9-12). The Antichrist Beast system is destroyed, and the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard lose their dominion, but are yet allowed to live for a time (12 months) and a season (3 months).

CHAPTER 21 I KNOW THE BLASPHEMY OF THEM WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS (JUDAHITES), AND ARE NOT, BUT ARE THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN PART I: INTRODUCTIONS According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the term, “Jew,” is the Hebrew word, Yehuwdah (#H3063), which means, “the name of five Israelites; also of the tribe descended from the first, and of its territory, Judah.”523 The Greek word is Ioudaios (#G2453), which means, “in the sense of G2455, which is Ioudas, which means, the name of ten Israelites; also of the posterity of one of them and its region, Juda; belonging to Jehudah.”524 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the term “Jew” means, “A descendant of Judah; and is also the name applied to the subjects of the kingdom of the two tribes after the separation of the ten tribes in 975 B.C.”525 According to Smith’s Bible Dictionary, the term, “Jew,” is: A name which was properly applied to a member of the Kingdom of Judah after the separation of the ten tribes. The term first makes its appearance just before the captivity of the ten tribes in II Kings 16:6.526 According to The Complete Word Study Dictionary Old Testament, the term, “Jew,” which is #H3063 (yehudah) means “A proper noun designating Judah.”527 523.

According to Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies, the term, “Jew,” means, “Judah; to make oneself a Jew; to become a Jew.”528 With regard to the term, blasphemy, according to The New Strong Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the Greek word is #G988, blasphemia, which means, “vilification (especially against God); blasphemy, evil speaking, railing.”529 This is the same word used in Revelation 13:1, 5, 6; and 17:3, with regard to the beasts of Revelation 13 and 17. According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the term, blasphemy, comes from the Greek word, blasphemia, which means, “injurious speaking,” as found in Revelation 2:9; 13:1, 5, 6; and 17:3.530 Who is a “Jew,” or how does one make oneself a “Jew,” or become a “Jew”? Let’s look at the history of the “Jews” for a moment. But, before we do that, let’s review some Biblical terms again. The term, Shemite or Semite comes from the name Shem, Noah’s son. According to The New Strong Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the Hebrew word for Shem is #H8035, Shem, which means, “a son of Noah (often including his posterity).”531 The Greek term for Shem is #G4590, Sem, which means, “a patriarch.”532 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the name, Shem, means, “name, renown, a son of Noah, ancestor of Elam Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.”533 528. Wilson, Wilson's Old Testament Word, 233. 529. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, G17. 530. Young, Analytical Concordance To, 97. 531. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H144. 532. Ibid., G81. 533. Young, Analytical Concordance To, 876.

Hence, Shem and his descendants are known as Shemites, or Semites. Genesis 5:32 is the first place where Shem is mentioned in the Bible, as a part of Adam’s family record. Genesis 10:21-31 gives us Noah’s family record with Shem’s descendants, and Genesis 10:24 verifies that Eber was a direct descendant of Shem. Which leads us the term, Hebrew. According to The New Strong Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the Hebrew word for Hebrew is #H5680, Ibriy, which refers to “an Eberite or descendant of Eber, which is #H5677, Eber, which is the name of two patriarchs.”534 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible, the name, Eber, means, “a shoot; a greatgrandson of Shem; this name seems used as a patronymic denoting the descendants of Eber.”535 Also, term, Hebrew, means, “belonging to Eber; patronymic of Abraham and his offspring.”536 As previously stated, Genesis 10:21 specifically states that Eber was a descendant of Shem, who was one of Noah’s three sons. Genesis 14:13a is the first place were the word, Hebrew, is used: And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;… Thus, the descendants of (Abram) Abraham would be Hebrews. Not “Jews.” By definition, the word, Hebrew, can be traced back to Eber and no further. We know that the promises were to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel), which leads us to the term, Israelites. According to The New Strong Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the Hebrew name for Israel is #H3478, Yisrael, which mean, “he will rule (as) God: a symbolic name of Jacob; also of his posterity: Israel.”537 According to Young’s Analytical Concordance to the 534. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H102. 535. Young, Analytical Concordance To, 287. 536. Ibid., 473. 537. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H61.

245

Holy Bible, the name, Israel, means, “ruling with God; the new name given to Jacob.”538 Also, the name, Israelite, means, “one belonging to the tribes of Israel.”539 It can also mean, “Prince of God.” Genesis 35:10 is the first place where the name, Israel, is used: “And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob; thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and He called his name Israel.” By definition, the names, Israel and Israelite, begin with Jacob and continue forward from that point. These names did not exist prior to Jacob’s name change. Hence, the 12 sons of Jacob and their descendants became known as Israelites (also as the children of Israel), and together they formed the Nation(s) of Israel. As a point of clarification, the 12 Tribed Nation of Israel was split into two separate kingdoms (Israel and Judah) after the time of Solomon (I Kings 11 and 12). The name, Israel, then referred to the Northern House of Israel, which was comprised of 10 tribes. The name, Judah, then referred to the Southern House of Judah, which was comprised of two tribes (Judah and Benjamin). So, who is a true “Jew”? As previously discussed, the Hebrew word for Jew is Strong’s Concordance #H3063, Yehudah, which means, “Judahite or of the tribe of Judah.” II Kings 16:6 is the first place where the name, Jew, is used: “At that time, Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.” In Ezra 5:1, The King James Version translated the Hebrew word, Yehud (#H3061), as Judah, which is correct. However, In Ezra 5:8, The King James Version translates the same Hebrew word as Judaea. Thus, the KJV translated one Hebrew word two different ways in these 538. Young, Analytical Concordance To, 522. 539. Ibid., 529.

246

two verses. The word, Yehud, should be translated as Judah consistently. Thus, when God split the Kingdom of Israel in two, those of the Kingdom of Israel were called Israelites, and those of the Kingdom of Judah were called Judahites. It is interesting to note that under the heading of “A Brief History of the Terms for Jew” in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following: Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an Ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an ‘Israelite’ or a ‘Hebrew.’” (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3). With regard to the history of the “Jews,” during the Hasmonean Period (142-63 B.C.), which “Israel” was ruled by secular kings/high priests, in 134 B.C., John Hyrcannus I, the son of Simon and thus, the first Hasmonean of the next generation, became the leader. From 134 to 104 B.C., he did two things: 1. 2.

Hyrcannus I resolved the conflict with the Seleucid Empire by agreeing to their demands; and He captured Samaria and Idumea and forcibly converted and circumcised the Idumeans. By doing so, he merged the land of Judah with the land of Idumea, thus creating the area known in the Bible as Judaea, and the people known as Judaeans. Herod the Great and his dynasty were Idumean.540

When Rome ruled the area, it was known as Judaea, and was no longer called Judah. Thus, the inhabitants were called Judaeans. As previously stated, the Greek word for Jew is Strong’s Concordance #G2453, Ioudaios, which means “belonging to a country-Jehudah, of Juda.”541 The original Greek matches with the Hebrew, i.e. Judah/Judahite, not Jew. Thus, the term, Jew, refers to the Babylonian culture that was brought back into Judaea after the captivity; it has nothing to do with the people of the House of Judah. Jesus was a Judahite, not a Jew! Those who follow the oral traditions of the Babylonian religion called Judaism are known as Jews. According to Benjamin Freeman in his book Facts Are Facts: 540. Bruce N. Fisk, “Second Temple Judaism: A Brief Historical Outline Part Three,” westmont.edu, accessed July 30, 2017, http://www.westmont.edu/-fisk/Articles/jewhistc.htm. 541.

247

When the word ‘Jew’ was first introduced into the English language in the 18th Century, its one and only implication inference was ‘Judaean.’ However, during the 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries, a well-organized and well-financed international ‘pressure group’ created a ‘secondary meaning’ for the word ‘Jew’ among the English-speaking peoples. This ‘secondary meaning’ for the word ‘Jew’ bears no resemblance to the original meaning. By the way, all the Disciples/Apostles were from the Tribe of Benjamin, including Paul, with the exception of Judas. Guess what he was? An Edomite mixture. How do we know? He was from the town of Iscariot…If one reads the Gospels very carefully, Jesus was careful not to venture into their territory. So, based upon the above definitions, the term used in modern translations of the Bible should be translated as Judahite, not “Jew.” The King James even uses the term, “Jew.” So, how did this happen and why? Did it start with the Scolfield Reference Bible by chance? Who wrote and financed his venture? Who seized control of the publishing houses since 1917? When did “Mystery Babylon” come on the world scene? When did the Bolshevik Revolution occur? Were 66 million Christian Russians murdered/starved to death by the Bolsheviks under the different Communist regimes?

How many Christians were murdered during World War II? The Cold

War? By the same people group, no less…What was the first European Christian nation to fall? What was the second? How did Western Civilization deteriorate? Who follows the Babylonian Talmud, and gives lip service to the Mosaic Law? What does the Talmud truly say about Christians? Who are the “Chosen People”? What are “Chosen People” of the LORD God supposed to act like? Christians, perhaps? What or Who is a true Christian? People are afraid to answer these questions, and others as well, for the same reason listed in the Bible in John 7:13 and 20:19 – for fear of the Jews...The Apostle John called them out in his First Epistle…Antichrist.

248

Remember, the Beast of Revelation 17 is Scarlet, i.e. Red. Is it Edomite in origin? Remember, Esau was Red, and the father of the Edomites. Is the Beast Jewish as well? Or is it Mystery Babylon the Great, i.e. Jerusalem? According to The Biblica Encyclopedia, Volume 2, Col. 1187: The Edomites are part of Jewry. The scientist and historian Dr. David Davidson wrote, ‘Indeed the Edomites later became completely absorbed in Jewry and under their aggressive intrusion the Jews became racially the medium of expression for the Edomite ideal for which Herod the Great had first given political formation. The Edomite intrusion into Judaism AT EVERY HISTORICAL POINT OF CONTACT is fully discussed in the volumes of the Cambridge Ancient History. According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 Edition, Volume 5, page 41: “Edom is in modern Jewry.” Remember, the 7 times judgment of The LORD God of The House of Judah and on Babylon, which started in 604 B.C. -2,520 Years = 1916 + 1 (No Year 0) = 1917. That means that something significant had to have happened with regard to each that year: The House of “Judah”: November 2, 1917:

The Balfour Declaration addressed to Lord Rothschild establishing a “Jewish” state in Palestine December 30, 1917: General Allenby took Jerusalem from the Ottoman Empire Mystery Babylon the Great: 1917:

The Jewish Bolshevik Revolution The Murder of the Czar of Russia and His Family in a Blood Ritual The Take-Over of Christian Russia The Beginning of the Destruction of Christian Germany

This Author does not dispute that the Land, now called Palestine, belongs to YAHWEH (as does the Whole Earth). However, YAHWEH, as set out in a previous chapter, stated that True Israel would live in the isles, live North and West of Palestine, go by a new name, speak in a new language, etc.

So, are the “Jews” God’s “Chosen People”? Or is this the Strong Delusion spoken of by Paul in II Thessalonians 2:11? According to Revelation 13:3: And I (John) saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed; and All the world wondered after the beast. Christians are wondering after a beast called “Israel” under another Gospel called Christian Zionism. According to Stephen Sizer:

252

In general terms, Zionism may be defined as ‘the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel.’ The term ‘Zionism’ was first coined in 1892 by Nathan Birnbaum, then a student in Vienna. A year later in 1893, he published a booklet entitled, The National Rebirth of the Jewish People in Its Homeland as a Means of Solving the Jewish Problem, in which he advocated Jewish nationalistic ideas that Theodor Herzl was to later expound in A Jewish State, published in 1896.542 He continues: At the First World Zionist Congress, which Herzl convened in Basle a year later, in 1897, he and Birnbaum articulated the deep longings of many Jewish people for their own homeland. Various strands of Zionism emerged in the early Twentieth Century including Practical, Socialist, and Communist. The most recent and probably most destructive form to appear is known as Messianic Zionism.543 Equating Arabs with the ancient Amalekites, and convinced they have a divinely ordained mandate to carry out ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from Israel, religious Zionists have been in the forefront of the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, attacks on Muslims and mosques and the systematic expansion of the West Bank settlements, especially in places like Arab East Jerusalem and Hebron.544 …The contemporary Christian Zionist movement emerged only after 1967, alongside Messianic Zionism, in part in reaction to the widespread criticism Israel has endured over the last thirty-five years…Walter Riggans interprets the term [Christian Zionism] in an overtly political sense as ‘any Christian who supports the Zionist aim of the sovereign State of Israel, its army, government, education, etc., but it can describe a Christian who claims to support the State of Israel for any reason.545 Christian Zionists worship Israel, NOT YAHWEH of the Bible! Remember, who controlled Palestine between the Greek and the Roman Empires? The Hasmonean Dynasty of 7 Israeli High Priest/Kings called “Israel”. The House of Israel was evicted by The LORD God by the Assyrians from 745-722 B.C. NEVER to return to Palestine. However, 542. Stephen Sizer, Christian Zionism: Road-Map to Armageddon? (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2004), 17–18. 543. Ibid., 18. 544. Ibid. 545. Ibid., 19.

253

the “Jews” came back to the land as the Hasmonean Dynasty known as “Israel,” and then came back to life as well as in 1917, as the Bolshevik Revolution, and officially in 1948, as “The State of Israel.” Originally, it was supposed to be called “The State of the Jews,” but President Truman changed the title of the nation to “The State of Israel.” On May 14, 1948, the United States, and then the U.S.S.R., recognized “The State of Israel” as a nation at the United Nations. A Nation was born in a day…Esau retook his inheritance, but for how long? How long will YAHWEH allow them to stay in His Land? Or is She The Great Whore of Revelation 17:1-6: The Great Whore that sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he (the angel) carried me (John) away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I (John) wondered with great admiration. IF the Bible is only about Israel, i.e. The House of Israel and The House of Judah, with the true “gentile” nations that interact with Israel, THEN, what color is missing from this woman, the Whore of Babylon? According to Exodus 28:5, The High Priest wore, “gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.” The Whore is missing the color Blue. The Mosaic religion had been corrupted when The House of Judah went into Babylon, and the Pharisaic religion that came out was called “Judaism” According to Rabbi Stephen Wise, “The return from Babylon and the introduction of the Babylonian Talmud, marked the end of Hebrewism and the beginning of Judaism.” That means that the “woman” in Revelation 12 represents the True Israel, while this “whore” in Revelation 17 represents a False Israel.

254

Some scholars have equated the “Whore of Babylon” with the Roman Catholic Church, for the simple reason, that the Cardinals wear scarlet and purple. Well, that could be true as well, for out of Catholicism came Protestantism. However, where did Catholicism come from? How did it come about? There is a saying: “Roman Catholicism is Judaism for Gentiles.” I find that rather thought provoking considering that the “Jews” infiltrated the New Testament Church, and thereafter, surreptitiously entwined their “doctrines of the elders,” with those of Jesus Christ’s. The State Church came about as a result of Constantine, as did formal “solar worship.” So, Judaism and paganism were blended together…I suggest that one do a compare and contrast of both religions. You might be surprised what you find… But according to Rabbi Louis Finkelstein, in his The Pharisees, Sociological Background of Their Faith, we do know where Judaism came from: Pharisaism became Talmudism. Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism. Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism and Judaism, but throughout these changes in name, the spirit of the ancient Pharisees survived unaltered from Palestine to Babylonia to North Africa, Sicily, Spain, France, and Germany. From there, to Poland and Russia and Eastern Europe…and ultimately to the world at large, (concentrated in the “State of Israel” and The United States of America). (Author’s comments.) So, where does “Mystery Babylon” reside? By the way, the Eastern Orthodox Church has always considered the Whore of Babylon to be Jerusalem. Babylon has three major city/states from which its power emanates: 1.

The Vatican (Religious Power – Chrislam 2019);

2.

London (Economic Power – both Western and Sharia Finance);

3.

Washington, D.C. (Political/Military Power).

All three have an obelisk of Osiris and a dome of Isis. However, these three power centers are all controlled by Mystery Babylon Jerusalem. For example: 255

1.

The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, which was held from October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965, absolved the “Jews” of crucifying Jesus Christ. This negates John 19:16: Then delivered (peradidomi) he (Pilate) Him (Jesus) unto them (The Chief Priests/Pharisees/Jews) to be crucified. And they (The Chief Priests/Pharisees/Jews) took Jesus. So, who owns the Vatican? By the way, the Rothschilds loaned vast sums of money to the Vatican.

2.

The Rothschilds have controlled London, as well as all of the Central Banks in the World with the exception of North Korea, Iran, and Cuba. They have worldwide control of the usury system, which is against The LORD God’s Law. They have also implemented a system of Sharia Finance for the Muslims as well. So, who controls the banking system and London?

3.

“Two Nations/One Heart” is the new slogan for The U.S.A. and Israel with regard to sharing everything. Now, that “Christian Zionists/Jews” and the Likud Party are in power, there is nothing to stop this from happening. And, they are getting ready to sign a “defense pact.” With all that being said, why do the Muslims refer The U.S.A. as the “Great Satan” and Israel as the “Little Satan”? So, who controls who in this situation? “Israel” perhaps?

Just how long will these relationships last? How long will YAHWEH allow Mystery Babylon to exist? What is its destiny? According to Obadiah 17-18: But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and The House of Jacob shall possess their possessions. And The House of Jacob shall be a fire, and The House of Joseph a flame, and The House of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the House of Esau; for The LORD hath spoken it. And this is prophesied of YAHSHUAH in Isaiah 63:1-6: Who is this that cometh from EDOM, with dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in His Apparel, travelling in the greatness of His Strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in Thine Apparel, and Thy Garments like Him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with Me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample 256

them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon My Garments, and I will stain all My Rainment. For the Day of Vengeance is in Mine Heart, and the Year of My Redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto Me; and My Fury, It upheld Me. And I will tread down the people in Mine Anger, and make them drunk in My fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. Revelation 18:21-24 states: And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (pharmakeia) were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Mystery, Babylon the Great, shall be found no more at all, and IF it is of Edomite origin, there shall not be any remaining in the earth.

CHAPTER 22 I KNOW THE BLASPHEMY OF THEM WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS (JUDAHITES), AND ARE NOT, BUT ARE THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN PART II: A SUMMARY OF THEIR SATANIC AGENDA This one ultimate agenda has been broken up into many smaller agendas and are working surreptitiously in concert together against the true people of YAHWEH, i.e. THE ISRAEL OF THE LORD GOD. In the unseen world, we are dealing with the Spirit of Antichrist, the Fallen Angels, as well as Demons (the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim). In the physical world in which we live, we are at war (enmity) with the physical seed of the Nachash, i.e. the physical seed of Cain. They were Biblically known as Kennites, Canaanites, Edomites, Amalekites and are known today as Ashkenazi “Jews,” i.e. them which say they are Jews (Judahites), and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan (Revelation 2:9). Economically, this small people group are currently responsible for the Fiat Currency Debt System, which is based upon the Petrodollar, besides owning all the Central Banks (being all Rothschild owned, operated and subsidized) in every country of the World, minus North Korea, Iran, and Cuba. Yet…this people group also owns the majority of communication companies in the world in the form of TV and radio stations, newspapers, magazines, and publishing houses, as well as Hollywood, entertainment, and pornography! Religiously, Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees who came out of the Babylonian Captivity and started “the oral traditions of the elders,” i.e. the Babylonian Talmud, which was completed in written form by the 5th Century A.D. Talmudism then

258

turned into modern Judaism which used a two-pronged attack on the Christian West. In 1897, the first Zionist Congress was held in Basel, Switzerland, and in 1917, Judaism turned into the militaristic/political ideology of Bolshevism/Communism, thus destroying Christian Russia in 1917/1918, and taking 30 years and two World Wars to destroy Christian Germany. By the way, both WWI and WWII pitted the United States (Manasseh) and Great Britain (Ephraim) against Germany (Judah). Let that sink in for a minute…The House of Israel versus The House of Judah; just as in the days of the Divided Kingdom Era. Christian versus Christian and White versus White… The ultimate goal of this two-pronged attack was to gain worldwide sympathy toward the “plight” of the “Jew,” who had been kicked out of over 100 countries since 70 A.D. due to their Satanic practices of Talmudism and their usury banking practices, as well as identifying themselves as the “Chosen People of God,” in order to establish a new homeland in “Palestine,” which was already occupied by Abraham’s other children (but that’s neither here nor there), which they did in 1947 on paper by their United Nations, and physically on May 14, 1948, in the form of the “State of Israel,” thanks to the United States and the U.S.S.R. respectively. By the way, the majority of “Israel’s” Prime Ministers and Upper Eschelon are from the former U.S.S.R, and its satellite states. Since then (1947/1948), Babylonian churchianity pastors have been telling their flocks that the Fig Tree has blossomed according to the parable spoken of by Yahshuah in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. However, anyone with common sense can see that Yahshuah cursed the Fig Tree, a symbol of the House of Judah, forever. However, He did state: Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all 259

these things, know that It (His Coming) is near, even at the doors. So, they are right, but in the wrong way. Judgment is coming, and the countdown has begun…However, in the meantime, this synagogue of Satan has control of this world six ways from Sunday, because the “Church” is asleep and has been rendered useless by their false doctrines, and is waiting for a Pre-Tribulational Rapture in order to escape what is coming upon the “earth dwellers.” All throughout history, true Bible believing “Christians” (followers of THE WAY, i.e. YAHSHUAH) have been criticized, ostracized, hunted down, imprisoned, tortured in the most heinous ways, only to be killed in the most vile and wickedest ways imaginable by the enemies of Jesus Christ. Just read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, if you have the stomach for it! And that was with the technology of their day! Imagine what “they” will do to us today with our technology! We think we are so much SMARTer than our ancestors, and/or we think that that could never happen again! WRONG! Things were speeded up under the Obama Administration. For example, did you know that: 1.

There are over 800 FEMA Camps in the United States? (Think closed Wal-Marts and malls…)

2.

FEMA has purchased over 1.6+ billion rounds of hollow-point bullets, which are ONLY supposed to be used in foreign wars outside of these United States, not domestically? (Think that there’s only 320 million people in the United States…)

3.

FEMA has purchased 30,000 guillotines, as well as 20,000 guillotine blades from Mexico recently? (Think organ transplants on this one…) AND

4.

FEMA has purchased millions of disposable coffins, which can hold 4+ human bodies? (So much for personal space…)

260

Are you awake yet? This list is not all-inclusive…but the people responsible historically for Christian persecution have been: 1.

The Edomite Jews under the Herods and the Pharisees during the time of Yahshuah, and all throughout history, up to and including the present.

From 70 A.D. on forward, it has been: 2.

The Roman Empire, under the Emperors, up until the time of Constantine in 323 A.D., who merged all of the Sun Worship religions with Christianity and made Sunday the Sabbath; and thereafter by some Emperors;

3.

The Holy Roman Catholic Church under the Popes up until and including the last one (#112) of St. Malachi’s Prophecy of the Popes; and then later,

4.

Her daughters, the Protestant Denominations, which include the Baptists, under their so-called hierarchy of Bishops, Elders, and Pastors, i.e. hirelings;

5.

Sunni and Shi-ite Islamists; as well as

6.

Oppressive Communist Dictatorships, such as the U.S.S.R., China, and North Korea. (Did Communism really die? What is Judaism? How do the Rabbis define Communism? When did it all start? 1917?) But, after all is said and done, and when you have done your own research (as I

have), you will find, as I did, that all roads lead back to Neo-Babylon! Which “House” of the Divided Kingdom was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar, and taken into Babylon, and only came out with just over 44,000 people? The other “House,” which comprised of almost 10 million people, was taken into Assyria, and supposedly disappeared forever from the Biblical and Historical Record…or did SHE? Unfortunately, Christians today are in the midst of a voluntary “Dark Age,” in that, they have allowed themselves to be taught by someone in the pulpit (a wolf in sheep’s clothing, perhaps?), who claims to have gone to a seminary to learn what his/her/its denomination wants him/her/it to teach and how to use the Bible to promote his/her/its “traditions.” They are afraid of 261

the TRUTH, as well as being labelled! Our Messiah was NOT! And neither should we! He called it as He saw it! For example, He called the Pharisees, “ye brood of vipers…” Yes, He stated that they were of THE Seed of the Serpent…those who say they are Jews and are not! Yes, the same people who screamed “crucify Him, crucify Him!” and “Let His blood be upon us and on our children.” Those people… Now, because it is politically incorrect to judge and/or offend anyone these days, those same enemies of our Messiah have created even more enemies exponentially over the course of almost two thousand years, even though they were kicked out of over 100 different countries during that same time period – starting in 70 A.D.! Yet, they still found a way to survive, and have thus become our masters! Esau, for a time, has thrown off the yoke of Jacob! Evil does have a name and a face, and to my knowledge, True Followers of THE WAY have NEVER co-existed with evil! This book has been written in the hopes of bringing the TRUE GOSPEL of Yahshua the Mashiyach to life again and kindle a fire, which will burn out our enemies once and for all! (Not by a (localized) Flood, as in the days of Noe, but by a (worldwide) FIRE this time! Think Sodom and Gomorrah on steroids… But there is a reason why The LORD God has to burn these Tares, for they have entered into a compact together and are of the Seed of the Serpent. According to Appendix A: The Secret Covenant Against Humanity of William Guy Carr’s SATAN, Prince of This World, this is their Secret Covenant: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception. Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur. 262

We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks. We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn. The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths. They will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information. The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe, and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons. They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth, we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them it’s for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things. When their teeth decay, we will fill them with metals that will kill their mind and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other diseases for which we will create yet more medicines. We will render them docile and weak before us by our power. They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison. We will focus their attention toward money and material goods so that they may never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures, and games, so that they may never be one with the oneness of it all. Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse, we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives. We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and establish opposites within. We will own both sides. We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan. 263

30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60.

They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil. Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure always, for it is the way. We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves. We will foment animosity between them through our factions. When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule, or death, whichever suits us best. We will make them rip each other’s hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend. The hate will blind them, and never shall they see that from their conflicts we emerge as their rulers. They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long as we see fit. We will benefit from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths. We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is accomplished. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger through images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this. The tools will be provided by their labor. We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors. We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one. This they must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always think they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop, we will advance our goal. We will take over their land, resources, and wealth to exercise total control over them. We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they will have. We will establish a money system that will imprison them forever, keeping them and their children in debt. When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world for we shall own all the media. We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment in our favor. When they shall rise up against us, we will crush them like insects, for they are less than that. They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons. We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them eternal life, but eternal life they will never have, for they are not of us. The recruits will be called “initiates” and will be indoctrinated to believe false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of these groups will think they are 264

61.

62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70.

71. 72. 73.

one with us never knowing the truth. They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us. For their work, they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles, but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive the light, and travel the stars. They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know. The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus on it until it’s too late. Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they are our slaves. When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them. This reality will be their prison; they will live in self-delusion. When our goal is accomplished, a new era of domination will begin. Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established from time immemorial. But, if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW. If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action. They must never, ever, find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are, once the veil has fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down and no person shall give us shelter. This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present and future lives, for this reality will transcend many generations and life spans. This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from heaven to earth came. This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn, will release the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself.

WE OF THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH DO NOT CO-EXIST WITH EVIL NO MATTER WHAT OR WHO IT IS! YAHWAH OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (COVENANT) IS THAT SAME AS YAHWEH OF THE NEW TESTAMENT (COVENANT)! Let that sink in…and He is coming back very soon to set things right!

265

CHAPTER 23 SURELY, I COME QUICKLY. According to Matthew 24:25, and Mark 13:23, the Lord Jesus Christ told us in advance of the signs of His future, visible Second Coming to the Earth, which will be in the very near future. The term coming is the Greek word, Parousia, (Strong’s #G3951), which is defined as “a being near, i.e. advent (often, return, specifically of Christ to punish Jerusalem, or finally the wicked); physical aspect – coming, presence.” Parousia (in 16 out of 24 times in the New Testament) is used as the future, visible return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, from Heaven, to raise the dead and to formally establish the Kingdom of God on Earth, known as Israel. Obviously, Jesus Christ will take the Throne of David as the Final King of Israel, and fulfill prophecy of the Davidic Throne, as well as bring the two sticks of Ezekiel 37 together as one nation under His Rule. The term coming can be found in the following verses: Matthew 24:3:

And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy Coming, and the end of the world?

Matthew 24:27:

For as the lightning cometh out of the East, and shineth even unto the West; so shall also the Coming of the Son of Man be.

Matthew 24:37:

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the Coming of the Son of Man be.

Matthew 24:39:

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the Coming of the Son of Man be.

I Corinthians 15:23: But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at His Coming. I Thess. 2:19:

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His Coming?

I Thess. 3:13:

To the end He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints. 266

I Thess. 4:15:

For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the Coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

I Thess. 5:23:

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

II Thess. 2:1:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him.

II Thess. 2:8:

And then shall That Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His Coming.

James 5:7-8:

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the Coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until He receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the Coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

II Peter 1:16:

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the Power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty.

II Peter 3:4:

And saying, Where is the promise of His Coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

I John 2:28:

And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His Coming.

As one can see, the majority of these texts deal specifically with Jesus Christ’s Second Coming and the Resurrection of the Righteous (on the last day). So, what was the setting in which Jesus told His disciples all these things? Matthew 24 and Mark 13 take place on the Mount of Olives, while Luke 21 takes place in the Temple. Matthew 24:1-51 (TO THE 21ST CENTURY CHRISTIAN): And Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple: and His disciples came to Him for to shew Him the buildings of the Temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these 267

things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us: 1. 2. 3.

When shall these things be? And What shall be the sign of thy coming? And Of the end of the world (aion – age)?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, 1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6.

Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: There shall be famines, and Pestilences, and Earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows (odin – birth pangs). THEN shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for My Name’s sake. And THEN shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 7.

And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and THEN SHALL THE END COME.

8.

WHEN YE THEREFORE SHALL SEE THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, STAND IN THE HOLY PLACE (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

THEN: Let him which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath Day:

268

FOR THEN SHALL BE GREAT TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the ELECT’S sake those days shall be shortened. THEN if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the VERY ELECT. BEHOLD, I HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE. Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning (In Aramaic – the sun) cometh out of the East, and shineth even unto the West; so shall also the Coming of the Son of Man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS SHALL The sun be darkened, and The moon shall not give her light, and The stars shall fall from heaven, and The powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and THEN SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN: and THEN SHALL: All the tribes of the earth mourn, and They shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and They shall gather together His ELECT from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 9.

NOW LEARN A PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it (MY COMING) is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, 269

THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED. Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But AS IN THE DAYS OF NOE WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. THEN shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken (paralambano – to take to, to take with one’s self, to join to one’s self), and the other left (aphiemi – to send away of a husband divorcing his wife). Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken (paralambano) and the other left (aphiemi). WATCH THEREFORE: FOR YE KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD COME.

DOTH

BUT KNOW THIS, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. THEREFORE BE YE ALSO READY: FOR IN SUCH AN HOUR AS YE THINK NOT THE SON OF MAN COMETH. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. MARK 13: 1-37 (TO THE 21ST CENTURY CHRISTIANS): And as He went out of the Temple, on of His disciples saith unto Him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

270

And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives over against the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, 1. 2.

When shall these things be? And What shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

And Jesus answering them began to say, 1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6.

Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and There shall be earthquakes in divers places, and There shall be famines and Troubles:

These are the beginning of sorrows (odin – birth pangs) But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 7.

And the Gospel must first be published (kerusso – proclaimed) among all nations.

BUT WHEN they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. BUT WHEN YE SHALL SEE THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, STANDING WHERE IT OUGHT NOT, (let him that readeth understand,) 8.

THEN Let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the filed not turn back again for to take up his garment. 271

But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. FOR IN THOSE DAYS SHALL BE AFFLICTION, such as was not from the beginning of creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the ELECT’S sake, WHOM HE HATH CHOSEN, He hath shortened the days. And THEN if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even THE ELECT. BUT TAKE YE HEED: BEHOLD, I HAVE FORETOLD YOU ALL THINGS. BUT IN THOSE DAYS, AFTER THAT TRIBULATION, The sun shall be darkened, and The moon shall not give her light, and The stars of Heaven shall fall, and The powers that are in Heaven shall be shaken. AND THEN SHALL HE (JESUS CHRIST) SEND HIS ANGELS, AND SHALL GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH TO THE UTTERMOST PART OF HEAVEN. 9.

NOW LEARN A PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that It (MY COMING) is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that

THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE DONE. Heaven and Earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

272

For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, WATCH. LUKE 21:5-38 (TO THE FIRST CENTURY CHRISTIANS): And as some spake of the Temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, He said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall bot be thrown down. And they asked Him, saying, 1. 2.

Master, but when shall these things be? And What sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

And He said, 1.

Take heed that ye be not deceived;

2.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

3.

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

4.

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and

5.

Famines, and

6.

Pestilences; and

7.

Fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

BUT BEFORE ALL THESE (the difference between the Matthew/Mark account), they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name’s

sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. AND WHEN YE SHALL SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES, THEN KNOW THAT THE DESOLATION THEREOF IS NIGH. THEN Let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and Let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and Let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs: In the sun, and In the moon, and In the stars; and Upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the power of heaven shall be shaken. AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. And He spake to them a parable; 8.

Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you,

THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. Heaven and Earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all that that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. And in the day time He was teaching in the Temple; and at night He went out, and abode in the Mount that is called the Mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the Temple, for to hear Him. Since Jesus’ Ascension in 30 or 33 A.D., THIS GENERATION has seen ALL OF THE SIGNS which Jesus stated come to fruition. According to the Matthew 24 Account: 1. Deception; 2. False Christs; 3. Wars; Rumours of Wars; Nation rise against Nation; Kingdom against Kingdom; 4. Famines; 5. Pestilences; 6. Earthquakes; 7. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God preached in all the world; 8. The Abomination of Desolation; 9. The Fig Tree; and THEN GREAT TRIBULATION (thlipsis) According to the Mark 13 Account: 1. Deception; 2. False Christs; 3. Wars; Rumours of Wars; Nation rise against Nation; Kingdom against Kingdom; 4. Earthquakes in divers places; 5. Famines; 6. Troubles (tarache – disturbances/commotions/seditions); 7. The Gospel must first be proclaimed among all nations; 8. The Abomination of Desolation; 9. The Fig Tree. THEN THE DAYS OF AFFLICTION (thlipsis) According to the Luke 21 Account:

275

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Deception; False Christs; Wars and Commotions; Nation rise against Nation; Kingdom against Kingdom; Great earthquakes in divers places; Famines; Pestilences; Fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven; and The Fig Tree.

BUT BEFORE ALL THESE…And then Luke forewarns of the Great Tribulation of the First Century Christians, which occurred from 67 to 73 A.D. Jerusalem fell in 70 A.D. and the final stronghold, Masada, fell in 73 A.D. Remember, Jesus Christ gave them 40 years to repent, and then they were cursed forever, never to hold or be the Kingdom, for it was given to another: THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, of which the Tribe of Judah was a part. So, why is there a nation-state called Israel today made up mainly of Ashkenazi/Edomite Jews? Ah, the prophecy of the Fig Tree came true in 1948 as Jesus said it would, standing where it ought not, the abomination of desolation…especially if “they” build a temple and institute temple sacrifices again…The Hasmonean Dynasty was wiped out by Rome, it wasn’t time just yet for the beast to appear… The First Century Christians escaped the wrath of the Roman Empire because they believed Jesus Christ, but it is estimated that 1.2 million Edomite Jews lost their lives in the slaughter because they refused Yahshuah as their Messiah. Today, we have witnessed all the signs that Yahshuah has stated would happen prior to the GREAT TRIBULATION. Once that happens, then the GREAT COSMIC SIGNS will occur, and THEN THE SIGN OF THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN!

CHAPTER 24 YAHWEH’S KINGDOM ON EARTH: THE STONE KINGDOM OF DANIEL 2 On the day of Yahshuah’s Ascension, the Disciples asked Him in Acts 1:6b-8: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the Kingdom to Israel? And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times of the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Jesus Christ did not deny that the Kingdom belonged to Israel; He just told them basically not to worry about the timing of its return. He had something else for them to do! (See Matthew 28: So, just what is this Kingdom to which they refer?) According to The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the Hebrew word for stone is the Hebrew word, eben, (Strong’s #H68), which means, “A stone.”546 The same word is used in Jacob’s prophecy to Joseph in Genesis 49:22-26: Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. However, Joseph had two sons: Manasseh and Ephraim. According to Genesis 48:1-6; 1320: And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. And now thy two sons, Ephraim and 546. Strong, The New Strong's Exhaustive, H68–69.

277

Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance….And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near unto him. And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head. And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. By the way, Manasseh means, “Forgotten,” and Ephraim means, “Abundance.” Which country might that be? Who is Great? Who has sent the most missionaries in the world during the 19th-21st Centuries? Who controls the seas today? Who controlled the seas during the 18th19th Centuries? Perhaps, the Anglo-American Empire? The dream from Nebuchadnezzar according to Daniel 2:34-35: Thou (Nebuchadnezzar) sawest till that a stone (eben) was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron (Rome), the clay (Islam), the brass (Greece), the silver (Medo-Persia), and the gold (Babylon), broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone (eben) that smote the image became a great mountain (Empire), and filled the whole earth. YAHWEH’s interpretation to Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2:44-45: And in the days of these kings (Babylon-Islam) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; 278

the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. So, where did the 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL really go? Where Biblical history becomes silent, secular history picks-up…(According to the Books that I have read, - see Works Consulted,) The dates match-up; The numbers of people match-up and the Names of the People match-up; and The practices of the people match-up; SO, BIBLICAL HISTORY and SECULAR HISTORY intersect. One name (Israel) is dropped from BIBLICAL HISTORY, WHILE the Sacae and Khumri of SECULAR HISTORY appear instantly at the same point and time.547 Coincidence? I think NOT!!! I find it rather interesting that the Tribes of Israel are dropped in the Assyrian language, and then, renamed in the Medo-Persian language.548 So, Israel went into Assyria, then MedoPersia, then elsewhere, according to Bible prophecy. According to The Westward Trek Map of Israel’s Tribal Wanderings to the Appointed Place North and West of Palestine:549 The Prophet Jeremiah informs us that the Israel of YAHWEH was to find grace in the wilderness (Jeremiah 31:2) and the Prophet Isaiah marks out the geographical location of the territory wherein the Israel Peoples would cease their wanderings. Isaiah bounds that territory by north and west directional lines from Palestine (Isaiah 49:8-12): Thus saith the LORD, in an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee…to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages…Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west. Laying out our survey according to the directions given by Isaiah, we discover that the prophet has circumscribed a portion of the world, beginning at a point in or near Palestine, bounded on one sided by a line running north and on the other by a line running at right 547. William Pascoe Goard, The Post-Captivity Names. 548. Ibid. 549. Westward Trek Map of Israel's Tribal Wanderings to the Appointed Place North and West of Palestine (Merrimac, MA: Destiny Publishers).

angles to this north directional line, but going west until both lines meet at a given point in the Pacific Ocean hallway between the West Coast of the United States and the Hawaiian Islands. This given territory may be defined by two directional lines. In this instance, they embrace the wilderness of the people (Ezekiel 20:34-37), the isles of the sea (Isaiah 24:15; 42:10; 49:1; 60:9; Jeremiah 31:9-10) and the desolate heritages (Isaiah 49:8). Through the lands thus defined, the Israel tribes wandered during their westward trek. Here also the isles of the sea, the British Isles, are found, as well as the regions across the Atlantic Ocean. Encompassing the North American continent, they include the countries where The United States of America and Canada have come into being. Within the bounds of this area, modern Israel has grown into a nation, a company of nations and a great people. It was also from this same territory that Christian Israel was to fan out in fulfillment of Genesis 28:14, spreading abroad to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south, as promised to Abraham. Thus, land areas in the Pacific Ocean have been inhabited by Israel Peoples – Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. Taken literally, Isaiah’s words have defined a large section of the earth and indicate the direction of the fulfillment of Moses’ statement (Deuteronomy 32:8-9): When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is His People; Jacob is the lot of His Inheritance. Within this territory – in the isles, in the wilderness, and in the desolate heritages – the Israel peoples were to sing a new song. There, they would praise the LORD; that is, they would become a Christian people (Isaiah 42:8-12). Why won’t Churchianity pastors search for the House of Israel in the world, when they know that today’s Israel is NOT the TRUE ISRAEL OF YAHWEH!

CHAPTER 25 BIBLICAL AND SECULAR PROPHECIES WITH REGARD TO THE SECOND COMING OF YAHSHUAH IF Jesus Christ were to warn me that I would be deceived at this very moment, in THIS VERY GENERATION, THEN in what way(s) am I being deceived today? Four authors (Anthony Patch, Josh Peck, Gonzo Shimura, and S. Douglas Woodward) have joined together to propose an answer to this question and in the process write what may be one of the most important books one might read: Revising Reality: A Biblical Look into the Cosmos, Volume One.550 With that being said, the Authors of this book felt: Duty-bound to describe spiritual realities which exist and conditions that surely produce nefarious outcomes…(They) can lump all spiritual pursuits together and assert that any path which seeks spiritual reality WITHOUT acknowledging the God of the Bible, Yahweh, and His Only Son, Jesus Christ, WILL ultimately deceive the explorer into adopting a synthetic (man-made) substitute. The true solution that brings resolution to ALL such matters of the spirit involves what Christians label Christ’s work on the cross.551 Two of the authors, Gonzo Shimura and S. Douglas Woodward have defined their calling as “to point out the workings of the enemy through his deception foisted on humanity, while presuming God maintains complete control, and within Jesus Christ lies all truth.”552 The book begins with a quote from Robert Jastrow’s The Enchanted Loom: Mind in the Universe: For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; his is about to conquer the highest 550. S. Douglas Woodward et al., Revising Reality: A Biblical Look Into The Cosmos (Oklahoma City, OK: Faith-Happens, 2016). 551. Ibid., 213. 552. Ibid.

peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.553 The book’s forward is written by Stan Deyo, author of The Cosmic Conspiracy, which is a book of the history of esoteric technologies. As such, Deyo lends his credence and credibility to the authors’ suppositions that the whole world is being deceived by alternate science ultimately created by the “fallen ones” of Genesis 6 and being transferred and used by the New World Order organizations of the 21st Century. In other words, what we see today in mass media, is actually true and burgeoning in alternative science, awaiting the call to deceive even the elect! Ancient technologies finding their way into the modern era…Just as in the days of Noe (Noah)! What does that phrase mean exactly? Prior to 1887, most King James Bibles contained what was called the Apocrypha, i.e. the “missing books” of the Bible. Books such as Enoch I, Jasher, and Jubilees give incredible details to the event that was/is alluded to in Genesis 6:2-3, 5 (Septuagint Version): And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God (ben elohiym) having seen the daughters of men (Adam) that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose…Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore children to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown. Josh Peck and S. Douglas Woodward discuss this controversial subject, which would not be so “controversial” if the above-refenced books had been included in today’s Bible and related it to the deception in the last day (II Thessalonians 2:7-12). They state that: The angels who took part in the unholy union with human women ceased functioning as angels of God. Once this occurred, apparently, they could no longer reside or even access Heaven and appear before God. In stark contrast, angels still abiding in Heaven never committed this horrific trespass against God’s law. (They) refer to fallen angels as 553. Ibid., xi.

282

fallen because the Bible says, “they left their first estate.” (Jude 6-8) (This view is further backed up by II Peter 2:4.554 In contrast to what the fallen angels had engaged in, The LORD God stated in Genesis 6:9, “Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with Me.” According to the Authors: Noah and his descendants were the only people in the world that were completely uncorrupted. In other words, the rest of the world was debased by hybridization, a/k/a the Nephilim. However, Noah’s bloodline, beginning with Adam, from generation to generation, was completely untainted by any angelic material…Scholars tell us that Satan’s master plan was to eliminate the possibility of humanity’s redemption by corrupting humanity’s genome. More specifically, Satan’s plan was to corrupt the bloodline of the Saviour. Noah’s perfect bloodline, untainted by the Nephilim, was the singular bloodline emerging from the antediluvian world, through which Jesus Christ would be born.555 Since the whole Antediluvian World had been genetically corrupted, save Noah and his family, how on Earth did the Nephilim show up on the other side of the flood? The authors put forth the five main theories that are being propagated today: 1. 2. 3. 4.

5.

The fallen angels mated with human women again after the flood, meaning there was a second and separate incursion of fallen angels. Fallen angels didn’t cause the reappearance of the Nephilim; the giants reappeared due to corrupted human genes ‘coming aboard’ the Ark. Survivors after the flood could have acquired some technological means to manipulate genetics. Ham’s son, Cush, had six sons, five of which became the heads of clans populating northern Africa. However, the sixth son was Nimrod. And according to Tom Horn, Nimrod became gibborim, ‘a mighty one.’ Some hybrids did not drown in the flood – they found a way to survive.556

However, these Authors seem to overlook Joshua 24:2 and 15, which state: And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith The LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. 554. Ibid., 51–52. 555. Ibid., 57–58. 556. Ibid., 60–62.

283

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. This term, on the other side of the flood, is quite significant, and cannot be taken spiritually, but literally. From a historical point of view, please check the Chinese, Egyptian, and Babylonian records for any breaks in their records during this time period. You won’t find any…From a scientific point of view, some scholars believe that “Noah’s Flood” was a local flood, only wiping out that which The LORD God created; whereas, the flood that took place during Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, was worldwide and quite devastating, thus wiping out all life on earth. This is why that, according to Genesis 6:4a, “there were giants in the earth in those days (before the flood); and also after that…” By Genesis 10 and 11, Nimrod had become a mighty one, and had organized all of humanity into a one world government for “the whole Earth (erets) was of one language and one speech.” (Sound familiar?) According to the Apocryphal book of Jasher 9:26, Nimrod had a threeprong plan to conquer Heaven and kill God: And all these people and all the families divided themselves in three parts; the first said, ‘We will ascend into Heaven and fight against Him;’ the second said, ‘We will ascend into Heaven and place our own gods there and serve them;’ and the third part said, ‘We will ascend to Heaven and strike Him with bows and spears.’ And God knew all their works and evil thoughts, and He saw the city and the tower which they were building.557 Apparently, Nimrod had found a way using the Tower of Babel as some sort of portal into Heaven. He could actually see into Heaven! According to the Septuagint Version of Genesis 11:6, “And the Lord said, Behold, there is one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.” As a result, 557.

284

God and His Divine Council of 70 came down and “scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.” So, fast forward to the 20th and 21st Centuries, and the nations have regathered together under the flag of the United Nations (on which, is a picture of a “Flat Earth” divided into 33 sections on a sky-blue background). Scientific discoveries have been divided into two camps: those who follow Einstein and those who follow Tesla. The Elites have pushed the science according to Einstein to the world. However, the Elite have kept all of Tesla’s technologies, and are currently experimenting with them at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research French: Organisation Europeenne Pour La Recherche Nucleaire), which is located on the French and Swiss borders. By the way, this Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is “located on the site of the ancient Roman temple to the Roman god, Apollo. This is no accident.”558 In Revelation 9:11, we read about “the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).” So, the question becomes, are the Elites trying to use the LHC at CERN to open up the bottomless pit, thus releasing the Fallen Angels from Tartarus on Earth? Or are they trying to open up the veil between the physical and spiritual dimensions? Or both? Gonz Shimura states that: We have seen that there are curious connections between CERN, the ancient Tower of Babel, black holes, and virtual realities. They bring up massive questions about what humanity is building, why, and who might have assisted in the knowledge and development of such technologies. The implications of ancient text suggest that the ‘Watchers’ or other non-physical, supernatural/spiritual intelligences guided the process. And while this idea reverberates through ancient mythologies, it is remarkable to consider the possibility that something quite similar (if not even crazier) is happening in our day!559 558. Woodward et al., Revising Reality, 146. 559. Ibid., 258.

285

Coupled with this, if one reads Doug Krieger’s Signs In The Heavens & On The Earth, one will find out that we have passed the 120th Jubilee, i.e. the Last Jubilee, which began in 2016 and ended in 2017. According to Genesis 6, The LORD God decreed that man’s time on Earth would be “120 Years;” i.e. as according to Doug Krieger, when the Hebrew is unpacked, that means 120 long count Jubilee cycles of 50 years apiece, which equals 6,000 years of human history. And, let’s not forget that Jesus stated in Isaiah 61:2, that He would “proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD (year of Jubilee) AND the Day of Vengeance of our God,” when He RETURNS! This brings us to the Prophecy of the 10 Jubilees, wherein Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel, i.e. Judah the Pious, “one of Judah’s most legendary and prolific German Hassidic rabbis, made an astounding prediction about the future of Jerusalem and the coming of Messiah in 1217 A.D.”560 According to his vision: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Jerusalem would be controlled by the Turks for eight Jubilees (1517-1917): FULFILLED; Jerusalem would be a “No Man’s Land” for one Jubilee (1917-1967): FULFILLED; Jerusalem would be controlled by “Israel” for one Jubilee (1967-2017): FULFILLED (Technically); and Jerusalem would enter the 70th Week of Daniel for the last seven years on Earth (2018-2025): YET TO BE FULFILLED561

Doug Krieger states that: Is it not amazing that from the year of 1917 when the British Mandate controlled the city of Jerusalem, Jerusalem did become under International Law a ‘no-Man’s Land’ for one Jubilee?...It cannot go unnoticed that 70 A.D. + 1897 years = 1967 A.D. and that it was in 1897 A.D. that Theodor Herzl convened the First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland (August 29-31, 1897) at the encouragement of the Swiss-Evangelical Founder of the Red Cross (founded in 1859), Henri Dunant, who was in attendance with a small delegation designed by Herzl as ‘Christian Zionists.’562 560. Douglas W. Krieger, Signs in the Heavens & On The Earth...Man's Days Are Numbered...And He Is Measured (Sacramento, CA: TribNet Publications, 2015), 337. 561. Ibid., 338. 562. Ibid., 339.

286

Krieger continues: The astonishing prophecy of the 10 Jubilee Long Count Cycles of 50 years each or 10x50 years = 500 years commencing on the date of 1517 A.D. when the Ottoman Turks took control of Jerusalem for the next 400 years unto 1917 and losing control to the British, who represented a ‘No Man’s Land’ (League of Nations Mandate) over Jerusalem. Thus, for the next 50 years unto the end of the ninth Jubilee Long Count Cycle and then the 1967 War (i.e. the Six-Day War) in which Israel took control of all of Jerusalem is now followed up by a final 50 year Jubilee Long Count Cycle bringing us to the end of 2017. We are now peering into the final week of human history, commencing on Passover, March 30, 2018, and the Seventieth Week of Daniel.563 Tom Horn and Cris Putnam in their book, Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here, state that: As the legend goes, Malachy experienced what is today considered a famous vision commonly called ‘The Prophecy of the Popes.’ The prophecy is a list of Latin verses predicting each of the Roman Catholic popes from Pope Celestine II to the final pope, ‘Peter the Roman,” (112 in all) whose reign would end in the destruction of Rome. According to this ancient prophecy, the very next pope (following Benedict XVI) will be the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman.564 The final segment of the prophecy reads: In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the City of Seven Hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge His people. The End.565 In their new book The Final Roman Emperor, The Islamic Antichrist, and The Vatican’s Last Crusade, Tom Horn and Cris Putnam state that: When elected Pope #112, Jesuit Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) immediately did several fascinating things to wrap himself in his ‘Peter the Roman’ title:566 First, he took as his namesake St. Francis of Assisi, an Italian (Roman) friar whose original name was Giovanni, but that was later changed to Francesco di Pietro (Peter) di 563. Ibid., 341–42. 564. Tom Horn and Cris Putnam, Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here (Crane, MO: Defender Publishing, 2012), 14. 565. Ibid. 566. Tom Horn and Cris Putnam, The Final Roman Emperor, The Islamic Antichrist, and The Vatican's Last Crusade (Crane, MO: Defender Publishing, 2016), 28.

287

Bernardone – a name that can literally be translated ‘Peter the Roman’ from the final line of the Prophecy of the Popes.567 Second, Pope Francis knows that Francis of Assisi was a prophet and that he predicted this final pope would ‘be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error and death…for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer.’ It is astonishing that Francis would pick as a namesake a man that foretold this of the final pope.568 Third, Pope Francis named Pietro Parolin as the Vatican’s new secretary of state – a man who could sit on the throne of Peter if Pope Francis retires (like Benedict did), dies, or is killed, and whose name can also be viewed as ‘Peter the Roman.’ If Francis was not canonically elected, Pietro Parolin would actually become the real Pope #112 under that scenario. (Pope Francis would therefore be known as an ‘Anti-Pope.’)569 The Authors continue: Francis has even recommended that people read Lord of This World (which this Author has read) – a related 1907 book by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson that depicts the reign of Antichrist and the Vatican’s relationship to the end of the world, which both Francis and emeritus Pope Benedict have called ‘prophetic.’ This is not surprising, as the reigning pope is an avowed prophecy believer and knows that he is “Petrus Romanus,’ the final pope (#112) from the famous ‘Prophecy of the Popes’ attributed to St. Malachy (that is, unless Francis was not canonically elected.570 The depth to which Pope Francis can be thought of as a mystic and believer in such prophecy involving the coming destruction of Rome may also be connected to his knowledge of the Cumaean Sibyl, whose prophecy about the return of the god Apollo (identified in the New Testament as the spirit that will inhabit Antichrist) is encoded on the Great Seal of the United States, as well as in Catholic art (from altars to illustrated books and even her appearance upon the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where four other Sibyls join her (Paul cast out a demon out one such prophetess in the New Testament), and the Old Testament prophets in places of sacred honor. Yet this Cumaean – who sits so prominently inside Catholicism’s most celebrated chapel – gave forth other famous and forgotten prophecies, which were quoted by early Church Fathers and actually connected the end-times Islamic Mahdi with a ‘Last Roman Emperor’ (who arguably developed into the ‘Holy Pope’ legend) – an eschatological figure whose time, and whose catastrophic war, may now have arrived.571 567.

Tom Horn then asks: How many people know that located right inside Washington, D.C. is: 1. 2. 3. 4.

A stargate; Seventy-Two (72) pentagrams at the base of the stargate to control the ‘Immortals’; Powerful generators (Dome and Obelisk) designed from antiquity to make the stargate work; and Ancient prophecies connected to this device that make it clear exactly who will be coming through the mystical doorway in the future?

How many also know that similar devices and prophecies are built into the Vatican’s headquarters in Rome?572 The primeval concept – especially that of sacred Domes facing Obelisks – was designed in antiquity for the express purpose of regeneration, resurrection, and apotheosis, for deity incarnation from the underworld to earth’s surface through union of the respective figures – the Dome (ancient structural representation of the womb of Isis) and the Obelisk (ancient representation of the erect male phallus of Osiris).573 The layout, as modeled in antiquity, exists today on the grandest scale at the heart of the capital of the most powerful government on earth – The United States of America – as well as in the heart of the most politically influential Church on Earth – The Vatican. Given this fact and the pattern provided by the Apostle Paul and the Apocalypse of John (The Book of Revelation) that the end times would culminate in a marriage between political (Antichrist) and religious (False Prophet) authorities at the return of Osiris/Apollo.574 The U.S. capital has been called the ‘Mirror Vatican’ due to the striking similar layout and design of its primary buildings and streets. This is no accident. In fact, America’s forefathers first named the capital city ‘Rome.’ But, the parallelism between Washington and Vatican is most clearly illustrated by the Capitol Building and Dome facing the Obelisk known as the Washing Monument, and at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican by a similar Dome facing a familiar Obelisk – both of which were, according to their own official records, fashioned after the Roman Pantheon, the circular Domed Rotunda ‘dedicated to all pagan gods.’ This layout – a Domed temple facing an Obelisk – is an ancient, alchemical blueprint that holds significant esoteric meaning.575 572. Ibid., 330. 573. Ibid., 330–31. 574. Ibid., 331. 575. Ibid.

289

The symbols used in this magic – the Dome representing the habitually pregnant belly of Isis and the Obelisk, representing the erect phallus of Osiris were in fact ritualized fertility objects, which the ancients believed could produce tangible reactions, properties, or ‘manifestations’ within the material world. The Obelisk and Dome as imitations of the deities’ male and female reproductive organs could, through government representation, invoke into existence the being or beings symbolized by them.576 This metaphysical phenomenon, which originated with Nimrod/Semiramis and was central to numerous other ancient cultures, was especially developed in Egypt, where Nimrod/Semiramis were known as Osiris/Isis and in Ezekiel 8, the children of Israel set up the Obelisk [‘image of jealousy,’ verse 5] facing the entry of their temple – just as the Dome faces the Obelisk in Washington, D.C. and in the Vatican City – and were condemned by God for worshipping the sun [Ra] while weeping for Osiris [Tammuz]. The Dome and the Obelisk became ‘energy receivers,’ capable of assimilating Ra’s essence from the rays of the sun, which in turn drew forth the ‘seed’ of the underworld Osiris. The seed of the dead deity would, according to the supernaturalism, transmit upward (through the portal) from out of the underworld through the base (testes) of the Obelisk and magically emit from the tower’s head into the womb (Dome) of Isis where incarnation into the sitting pharaoh/king/president would occur (during what Freemasons also call the raising of Osiris ceremony). In this way, Osiris could be habitually ‘born again’ or reincarnated as Horus and constantly direct the spiritual destiny of the nation.577 So, will CERN open up the Bottomless Pit and release Apollyon/Abaddon, who will take his place in the Temple, whether that be in Washington, D.C., the Vatican, or in Jerusalem? Or has that already happened spiritually? Is this Apollyon/Abaddon actually Nimrod/Alexander? Nimrod suffered a “head” wound by Esau, and the body of Alexander has never been found. If Satan is physically kept in the Bottomless Pit during the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, then wouldn’t Apollyon/Abaddon by physically kept there as well? Most Christians today are told that the Antichrist will take his seat in the Third Temple in Jerusalem, and proclaim himself to be “God” as referenced in Daniel 9:24-27. However, why would YAHWEH allow the Jews to build a Temple and reinstate the Temple sacrifices, which were fulfilled perfectly by His Son, Yahshuah, once and for all? After all, YAHWEH, using the 576. Ibid., 335. 577. Ibid., 336.

290

Roman legions which were made up of Arabs, destroyed the Second Temple and the Sacrificial System in 70 A.D. So, which Temple is being referenced? Our bodies as according to Paul? What is interesting is that when YAHWEH judged His people, the Israelites, He used: 1.

The Assyrians (745-721 B.C.);

2.

The Babylonians (606 – 586 B.C.); Solomon’s Temple destroyed on the 9th of Av.

3.

The Romans (70 – 73 A.D.); Herod’s Temple was destroyed on the 9th of Av.

Who will YAHWEH use to judge True Israel today? Remember, judgment comes to the House of YAHWEH first! And we are The House of YAHWEH! This time around, our bodies are the Temple of YAHWEH! What is really going to happen? According to the Mosaic Law, innocent blood has to be judged where the crime took place. My guess is that the whole world is responsible for spilling the blood of the martyrs, but there is one place in particular that is responsible for spilling THE INNOCENT BLOOD…JERUSALEM! I believe Yahshuah told a parable about that… History will repeat itself – what happened back in Genesis 6 is going to happen again, only on a worldwide scale. Why, you ask? Because mankind has bought the lie again of “being like god.” What is happening in the laboratory is going to change mankind forever. America and the West are already like Sodom and Gomorrah. Like Billy Graham’s wife said, If America isn’t judged for her sins, God will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah… Yahshuah stated that He was coming back when life would be just “as in the days of Noe” and “as in the days of Lot.” We are at the end of the road of human history, time wise. It’s time for the Ecclesia to wake up and see what time it is on YAHWEH’s Calendar! We all might be surprised at what time it truly is! Speaking of calendars, did you know that there are three major calendars in the world?

291

1.

The Gregorian Calendar (Solar) named after Pope Gregory;

2.

The Islamic Calendar (Lunar) based on the year of Hajj); and

3.

The Hebrew Calendar (Solar and Lunar) – YAHWEH’s Calendar.

I wonder who thought to change times and laws? It sure was not The LORD God, for He says in the last Book of the Old Testament, in the last chapter, in the second to the last verse: Remember ye the Law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for ALL ISRAEL, with the Statutes and Judgments. (No Sacrificial Ordinances!) Did you also know that the last Jubilee (1967-2017) was bookended with a tetrad of equidistant blood red moons, that fell on Hebrew holidays, and that the next seven years (2018-2025) are bookended with a triad of blood red moons. The United States just had a total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 and will have another one, seven years later on April 8, 2024, criss-crossing right over the Madrid Fault Line. (X Marks the Spot!) Can you say divide the land of Israel as judgment? According to Genesis 1:14: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be: 1. For signs; 2. For seasons; and 3. For days; and 4. Years. Remember: The Sun tells you:

What time it is;

The Moon tells you: What day it is; and The Stars tell you:

What month it is.

But, according to today’s Babylonian Churchianity Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing Pastors, there are not supposed to be any signs of Jesus’ Coming. I think Jesus said it best in Luke 12:56: Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 292

The 120th Jubilee ended on September 10, 2018. Six thousand years of human history came to an end. The Day of YAHWEH (The Millennial Reign of YAHSHUAH) began on September 11, 2018. At the First Coming of Jesus Christ, the following conditions existed: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The World’s Economic system is based upon the U.S. Dollar only. The Earth was of one major language: Greek The Earth is of one major language: English The Religious Leaders did not accept the signs of the Messiah; The Religious Leaders are not accepting the signs of the Second Coming; i.e. Revelation 12 Sign of the Woman on August 23, 2017. The Religion of the Day was Judaism/the Traditions of the Elders and Polytheism. The Religion of the Day is Christianity, Judaism, Roman Catholicism Islam, and Polytheism mostly based upon Mystery, Babylon. The Spring Feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits were Fulfilled The Fall Feasts of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles will be Fulfilled. Jesus Christ had 12 Disciples on the Earth Jesus Christ will have 144,000 Disciples on the Earth “Israel” “existed” under a system of 7 Hasmonean High Priest/Kings. “Israel,” i.e. The Fig Tree, exists. A Roman calendar The Gregorian Calendar based upon Pope Gregory

The conditions are the same for Jesus Christ’s Second Coming, just as they were for His First Coming…The Old Testament is a blueprint for the New Testament. It pays to know the “signs,” as Jesus spoke of them in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.

293

This Greco-Roman system is in conflict with the Islamic Sharia Law System of 632 A.D., which also seeks to change times and laws. Will Islam get their chance with their Mahdi, the 12th Imam? By the way, in 688, the Dome of the Rock was built. Add 1,260 years and you get 1948, the year that “Israel” became a nation, i.e. The Fig Tree. Think of this also: The Papacy’s “Temporal Power on Earth” began in 758 A.D. Add 1,260 Years, and you get 2018. The Papacy came to power in 538 A.D.; add 1,260 years and you come to 1798, the year that Napoleon gave the Papacy “a deadly head wound.” In 1929, The Lateran Concordat brought the Papacy back to life, and since then, there have been Eight Popes…By the way, the Greek word for religion means, “superstition.” 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Pius XI (1922-1939); Pius XII (1939-1958); John XXIII (1958-1963); Paul VI (1963-1978); John Paul I (1978 – 33 days only); John Paul II (1978-2005); Benedict XVI (2005-2013: Abdicated); and Francis I (2013 – Present). He was enthroned on Friday the 13th and 2 bolts of lightning hit the Papal See.

I do believe that we are at the end of time…

FINAL THOUGHTS According to Revelation 18:4, “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE (LAOS), THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER (BABYLON’S) SINS, AND THAT YE (MY PEOPLE – LAOS) RECEIVE NOT OF HER (BABYLON’S) PLAGUES. According to Ben Williams: Think of Babylon as a Mental Institution… When they lock you up in a mental institution, two things happen: your physical freedom is taken away, and you are stuck with crazy people. Trying to understand today’s society is an exercise in madness, it just doesn’t make sense unless you sidestep the definitions of concepts like truth, freedom, justice, and liberty. These things should mean something extraordinary and noble, but the concepts have been commandeered for use as propaganda. They’ve become diluted by corruption and are now devoid of their true meaning. They now serve more to limit our ability to see things as they really are, then to provide us with a basis for finding meaning in our world. Nearly all of the serious problems we have in the world have tangible, practical solutions, yet so many of these solutions are suppressed or twisted.578 And, if you ignore this madness, you sometimes find that you are experiencing cognitive dissonance, which is a psychic discord that can happen when we don’t have words to express a concept, when we allow others with money on the line to tell us what we are supposed to say. So often, as human beings do, we need to be startled before we spring into action to save ourselves. It’s in our nature. And this information is part of that wake-up call. The message is simple. You can retake control of the steering wheel of life if only you will stop deferring to a system that gives you words that make no sense.579 God wants us to use reason, logic, and common sense. God’s Word gives men these, but most men are brainwashed to think truth must be cryptic. Don’t fall for that nonsense! Don’t settle for being just another crazy person in an insane world!580 578. Williams, Our Words Must Mean. 579. Ibid. 580. Ibid.

295

Besides having to deal with this, how do you know that you are worshipping the right Jesus Christ? Which Jesus are you worshipping? In conclusion, Jesus told us who His enemies were (and ours also), and even called them out by name! So, why can’t we take His Father or Him at His WORD, and accept what either One of Them said, and believe Them today? So, let’s put an end to this nonsense once and for all by using the resources that we have in the 21st Century and calling it what it is, just like Our Father and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did! That is truly the UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH OF TODAY… As a result of my recorded research, I am fairly certain that I will find myself attached to one of the following labels found below so eloquently defined by the world at large, but especially by this group of people…For example: IF you disagree with the doctrine that your Babylonian “churchianity” “pastor” teaches/preaches, THEN you are declared to be an “HERETIC.” IF you disagree that the “Jews” are the “CHOSEN” people of God, THEN you are declared to be an “ANTI-SEMITE.” NOW, “they” are saying that IF you are “ANTI-ZIONISM,” THEN you are also declared to be an “ANTI-SEMITE,” ANTIZIONISM = ANTI-SEMITISM! IF you disagree with the way that the “HOLOCAUST” occurred during World War II, THEN you are a “HOLOCAUST DENIER,” and in Europe, you will go to jail (besides being called an ANTI-SEMITE). IF you disagree with any part of Islam, which is a political, economic, societal system of government, under the guise of a so-called “religion,” THEN you are an “ISLAMOPHOBE.”

296

IF you disagree with any part of the homosexual agenda, THEN you are an “HOMOPHOBE.” IF you believe in keeping the races separate, THEN you are a “MISOGENIST” and a “RACIST.” IF you are proud to be a part of a non-white race, that’s great. BUT, IF you are proud to be white, THEN you are a “WHITE SUPREMICIST.” IF you are intolerant of anyone and/or anything in today’s world, THEN you are a “BIGOT,” and IF you dislike and/or fear anyone from another country, THEN you are a “XENOPHOBE.” AND (TO TOP IT ALL OFF), IF you just so happen to be one of those persons who doesn’t accept what your liberal pastor, professor, politician, and/or media in our post-modern Christian society is feeding/teaching you, THEN you are POLITICALLY INCORRECT, and will most likely to be labeled an “EXTREMIST,” of one form or fashion, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE SO-CALLED NAMES. NOW, that you have finished reading this diatribe, let me assure you that these labels are part and parcel of one ultimate agenda (by a certain group of people) to keep people (like you and me) from looking for THE TRUTH, and it does work for the most part, with most people. But, I (fortunately or unfortunately) am not one of them, and hopefully neither are you! I hope that you have enjoyed reading this book. I have included a list of Appendices, as well as Works Consulted, of which I have personally read over the past 10 years, for your review. May God richly bless you!

APPENDIX I SEVEN-EIGHTHS OF THE BIBLE MISUNDERSTOOD BY EDWARD HINE (1876) Any Bible students would find it most useful, because greatly facilitating their reading and understanding of Scripture, if they would underline in red ink all parts of the Bible having a direct reference to Israel only, and to underline, in blue ink, those parts referring to Judah alone, and also, in green ink, those parts that refer directly to the Gentile World, apart from Israel or Judah. By doing this, they would arrive at the readiest method of ascertaining the positive fact that seven eights of the entire Bible have reference only to the literal, social, and historical affairs of Israel and Judah, that only about one-eighth of the whole Bible has any real bearing upon the Gentiles, and that those parts marked red, as referring to Israel, largely predominate. It follows that, not to understand the distinction of Israel from Judah, is positively to misunderstand seven-eighths of the Bible, and yet, it is an undeniable fact, that 99 percent of our people do not recognize any difference as existing between Israel and Judah, and that, when you speak to them about Israel, they immediately think you are referring to the Jews, and read their Bible with this same false impression. Nationally, to this day, both Oxford and Cambridge are under this delusion, as well as the Dissenting Colleges of the land; how, then, can we be surprised at the amount of stupid blundering and erroneous statements issuing from our pulpits, or wonder at the fact, that our pulpit ministrations do not gain the respect of the masses, so that, while the thousands regard the Church as a venerable institution, the millions are really outside its influence? Brethren! Is it not a lamentable assertion to make in 1876, that seven-eighths of the Bible are misunderstood? Yet, it is, too truly, a fact. By not distinguishing Israel from Judah, we set all the prophetical books at variance with each other; we make one prophet give the direct falsehood

298

to another; we make Isaiah call into question the prophecies of Jeremiah; and Jeremiah impugn the statements of Hosea. We set Joel against Amos, Zephaniah against Zechariah, and make Ezekiel contradict them all. Hundreds of proofs are at hand to substantiate these statements, but a few must suffice. Isaiah, Hosea, and Jesus Christ declare Israel to be LOST. Isaiah 7:8; Hosea 1:10; 6:2; and Matthew 15:24. Jeremiah and Ezekiel declare Judah to be KNOWN. Jeremiah 24:9; Ezekiel 22:4. Hosea declares Israel to be as the sand for Multitude. Hosea 1:10. Jeremiah declares Judah to be Few in number. Jeremiah 15:7. Isaiah, David, and Micah declare Israel to be the Strongest War Power upon Earth. Isaiah 41:11; Psalm 105:24; Micah 7:16. Whereas, Jeremiah declares Judah to be without Might. Jeremiah 19:7. God Almighty, Samuel, David, Isaiah, and Jeremiah declare Israel to be a Monarchy. II Samuel 7:12-13; Psalm 89:4; Isaiah 37:31: 49:23; Jeremiah 33:26. Jeremiah states Judah to be without Government. Jeremiah 17:4. Isaiah and Obadiah state Israel to be an Island Nation with large Colonies. Isaiah 49:1, 8; Obadiah 17. Jeremiah and Ezekiel state Judah to be strangers in all countries, without geographical inheritance. Jeremiah 24:9; Ezekiel 22:16. Isaiah, Hosea, Micah, Habakkuk, and Paul declare Israel to be a Christian People. Isaiah 44:23; Hosea 2:19; Micah 5:7; Habakkuk 3:13; Romans 6:14. Whereas, Ezekiel, Nahum, Zechariah, Jesus Christ, and Peter declare Judah to be under the Mosaic Law. Ezekiel 43:18-27; Nahum 1:15; Zechariah 9:11; Mark 7:9; Luke 13:35; I Peter 2:8. Many scores of such illustrations might be given. These statements are, in reality, perfectly harmonious. It is only when we read Scripture in our blindness, under the impression that each statement refers to one and the same people, that it becomes contradictory; then, it is that the whole Bible seems one mass of confusion, defying the genius of man to bring forth a shadow of reconciliation, without doing material damage to other parts of The Book. Tom Paine fell into the common error

299

of looking at the Jews as the House of Israel, and states boldly in his writing that he was led into infidelity because he saw that the Jews could never verify the promises given to Israel; here, therefore, gave the Bible up as a myth. Honestly, I cannot blame the man; for he did but exercise an acute judgment; and I frankly avow, that if my eyes had not been opened, and my mind instructed, to see that Israel and Judah are not the same people, I could have come to no other conclusion. I can never be too thankful to the Almighty, that in my youth He used the late Professor Wilson to show me the difference between the two House. The very understanding of this difference is the key by which almost the entire Bible become intelligible, and I cannot state too strongly, that the man who has not yet seen that the Israel of the Scriptures are totally distinct from the Jewish people, is yet in the very infancy, the mere alphabet of Biblical study, and that, to this day, the meaning of fully seven-eighths of the Bible is completely shut out to his understanding. I close this chapter by a short and powerful description of the difference between Israel and Judah, given forth by God Himself: Therefore, thus saith the LORD God, Behold, my servants (Israel) shall eat, but ye (Judah) shall be hungry, behold my servants (Israel) shall drink, but ye (Judah) shall be thirsty; behold, my servants (Israel) shall rejoice, but ye (Judah) shall be ashamed; behold, my servants (Israel) shall sing for joy of heart, but ye (Judah) shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit; and ye (Judah) shall leave your name for a curse unto my chose (Israel); for the LORD God shall slay thee (Judah), and call His servants (Israel) by another name. Isaiah 65:13-15 I again recommend my readers the plan of underlining their Bibles in red, blue, and green inks. If they would try the red and blue in the quotation just given, they would see its service. There are hundreds of verses like the above, that in part refer to Israel, and in part to Judah, and by this method of employing different colors to distinguish the parts, the intellect is immediately instructed saving an immense strain upon the mind in study. I live in the hope of seeing the day

300

when our Oxford and Cambridge Presses, with the British and Foreign Bible Society, will facilitate study by using different classes of type to discriminate readily these distinctions, and at the same time sponging out the absurd and abominably false Head Lines that both disgrace and disfigure nearly all their Editions. EDWARD HINE 1876

APPENDIX II AN OPEN LETTER TO ANY MINISTER WHO TEACHES “THE JEWS ARE ISRAEL” BY SHELDON EMRY DEAR MINISTER OR BIBLE TEACHER: I understand you believe that the people we know today as “Jews” are God’s “Chosen People,” the Israel people of the Bible. You, and others, call them “The Chosen Race,” “God’s Chosen People,” “Israel,” “The Children of Israel,” and other very complimentary names in relation to God. I also understand you believe the Jewish occupation of Palestine to be the prophetic “return of Israel” to “their” land. Since it is Israelites “to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises” (ROMANS 9:4) it behooves us as Christian Americans to know as much about God’s Chosen Israel and His Book as we can. The information on these pages has been compiled in Christian love and a desire to stimulate your study of “the People of the Book.” ISRAELI 1.

Regarding the migration of the Jews to Palestine: by 1976, 28 years after the United Nations’ approval of the Jewish occupation of that land, there were only 2.9 million Jews there compared to over 8 million in the United States.

2.

Jews can leave “Communist” nations almost at will, yet few choose to do so, and more remain in Russia than are in the Jewish state in Palestine. By 1975, Jews were leaving Palestine faster than they were moving there. The following is a direct quote from Parade Magazine November 23, 1975: “Three years ago, more than 50,000 immigrants settled in Israel. Last year, only 22,000 settle there. This year, the estimate is only 15,000…Last year, 21,000 Israelis left their country. This year a similar number will depart.” Other sources indicate many come to the U.S. and some return to Russia.

3.

Of all the followers of Judaism in the world, less than 17% are now in Palestine.

4.

God prophesied to dispersed Israel: “I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you unto your own land.” (EZEKIEL 36:24) Are these Jews being gathered from heathen lands? – or from Christian?

5.

God goes on: “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean…A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, And I will give you a heart 302

of flesh.” Should this mean the Israelites were to become Christians in their new land? 6.

The balance of EZEKIEL 36 promises great material blessings which would bring awe from among the heathen. The Jewish Committee for Israeli, to the contrary, admits that if it were not for American money and from the Israeli Bonds sold in America, ISRAELI WOULD BE BROKE AND WOULD COLLAPSE! (Read EZEKIEL 36).

7.

Most Christian ministers preach from EZEKIEL 38 and 39 to prophesy an invasion of Jewish Palestine by Russia (Gog and Magog). But 38:11 describes the land of Israel to be invaded as “the land of unwalled villages…them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates.” Israeli villages are walled and its borders wire, mine fields, machine gun nests, and tanks to keep out the “heathen” who are in awe, not of the Jew’s blessings, but of their armaments AND AMERICA’S PROMISE TO PROTECT THEM!

JEWS “ALL OF ISRAEL?” 8.

Some of you preach the Jews who came back from Babylon (4th Century B.C.) are “all of Israel,” but Dr. Schofield states on page 529 of THE SCOFIELD REFERENCE BIBLE, “Probably individuals from all of the tribes returned to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah; but, speaking broadly, the dispersion of the ten tribes, Ephraim-Israel, still continues: NOR CAN THEY NOW BE POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED.” In other words, of the Israelites dispersed in the ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY (II KINGS 17:6-23), most never returned to Palestine AND THEIR DECENDANTS ARE NOT NOW KNOWN AS “JEWS”!

9.

Cruden, compiler of Cruden’s Concordance, has stated: “And it is generally believed that there was no return from this captivity (referring to the Assyrian Captivity of the Ephraim-Israel, or Northern Kingdom), and that the 10 Tribes never came back after their dispersion.” So, we see that both Scofield and Cruden agree there must now be descendants of Israelites NOT KNOWN AS “JEWS”.

10.

Flavius Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, says in Book XI, Chapter V, “Wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond the Euphrates till now, and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers.” He wrote about the time of Christ.

11.

The 1905 Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 21, page 249 reads: “If the Ten Tribes have disappeared, they must exist UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME.” Again, they must be a people NOT called “Jews”.

12.

From the Jewish Quarterly Review of July 1903, page 106: “The career of the Jews can be traced without difficulty…until the present day. OF THAT OF THE 303

ISRAELITES [emphasis added], however, nothing authentic is known after their departure from their fatherland to Halah and Hebor…and the cities of the Medes (II Kings 17:6). With the beginning of their captivity, they seemed to have passed from all human knowledge.” Yet you ministers stand in front of your congregations and tell them, “The Jews are all of Israel.” 13.

Many other Jewish sources verify that those we call “Jews” are NOT all of Israel. Isaac Leiser, in The Jewish Religion, Vol. 1, page 256, writes, “By this return of the captives (from Babylon) the Israelitish nation was not restored, SINCE THE TEN TRIBES…WERE YET IN BANISHMENT.”

14.

The Jewish Chronicle, May 2, 1879: “There has always been, however, an unwillingness to admit that a fate which has befallen so many nations has overtaken the Ten Tribes. Why should they have been less tenacious of life than their brethren of Judah? Nay, the Scriptures speak of a future restoration of Israel, which is clearly to include both Judah and Ephraim. THE TEN TRIBES ARE CERTAINLY IN EXISTENCE, ALL THAT HAS TO BE DONE IS TO DISCOVER WHICH PEOPLE REPRESENT THEM.” (Emphasis Added).

15.

The Jewish Quarterly Review of October 1888 carried an article by Dr. Ad Neubauer titled “Where are the Ten Tribes?” It is too long to be quoted in its entirety, but he does arrive at the conclusion the Ten Tribes are still “missing.” Do you still insist the present-day “Jew” represents “all of Israel”?

ANCIENT ISRAELITES NOT “JEWS” 16.

Most of you ministers call Abraham a “Jew,” but no people in the Holy Scripture were called “Jews” until II Kings 16:6, over 1,000 years after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!

17.

You preachers often speak of the Exodus as being the deliverance of the “Jews” from Egypt: but the Holy Bible calls them “Israelites,” the “House of Jacob,” “Hebrews,” “Israel,” and God calls them “the children of Israel” 122 times in the Book of Exodus. Neither Moses nor God EVER called them “Jews,” yet you do. Why?

18.

You often quote the promises in GENESIS to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as referring to the Jews. In Genesis 17:15, God promised Abraham he would be a “father of many nations.” The Jews are not “many” nations.

19.

In GENESIS 22:12, God said to Abraham, “In Isaac shall thy seed be called.” Are the Jews called “sons of Isaac,” or “Isaacsons,” or “Saacsons,” or “Saxons”?

304

ISRAEL IN FULFILLED PROPHECY 20.

Abraham’s seed were to be as “The sands of the sea” as promised in GENESIS 22:17, in GENESIS 24:60, Rebekah, Isaac’s wife, was promised to be “mother of thousands of millions.” At the time of the Exodus, Moses prophesied to Israel that God was to make of them “a thousand times so many as ye are.” (DEUTERONOMY 1:11). There were over 3,000,000 Israelites then, and over 15,000,000 at the time of David, yet you insist that 15,000,000 Jews today, 3,000 years after David, are “all of Israel!” How do you give honor to God when your teachings make Him a liar?

21.

The “New Covenant,” as recorded in JEREMIAH 31, was made with “the House of Israel.” Hebrews 8 verifies it with, “the House of Israel and with the House of Judah.” Yet your teaching is to the effect that this Covenant, which was to make Israel a Christian people, just didn’t work with “God’s People the Jews,” but that a “Gentile” Race, the White Race, somehow just happened to accept the “New Covenant.” Just who is this “Race” which seems to have “usurped” Israel’s place?

22.

Israel was divided after the death of Solomon. Millions of Israelites of the Northern Kingdom called “the House of Israel” went into the Assyrian captivity after 740 B.C. and were lost to Bible History. But secular histories recorded millions of the White Race appeared suddenly in that same area about 700 B.C.! They became the Christian people of Europe and then America. Hosea had prophesied to the House of Israel before they went into captivity, “Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea…and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.” In Europe, America, South Africa, and Australia, where we are told we are NOT God’s People (Israel), we are told by the millions that we “are the sons of the living God!”

23.

You insist that Jesus came to the Jews, but in JOHN 10:25, Jesus said to the Jews, “But ye believed Me not BECAUSE YE ARE NOT MY SHEEP as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” Which people are the “sheep” who knew Him and have followed Him the last 1,900 years?

24.

At the time that the Kingdom of Judah was destroyed in 586 B.C. by the King of Babylon, the prophet Jeremiah prophesied to the House of Israel, “You are my battle ax and weapons of war. With you, I will break in pieces the nations, and with you, I will destroy kingdoms.” Since that time, have the Jews broken up heathen nations and destroyed pagan rule?

25.

Airplanes were prophesied for Israel. “Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?” (ISAIAH 60:8). What people make and fly 99% of the world’s airplanes?

305

26.

“The abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee.” (ISAIAH 60:5). What people build and operate the great merchant and fishing fleets of the earth?

27.

In DEUTERONOMY 15:6, God promised that, “Thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow: and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.” What people lend and give money to the heathen nations? What people have always been rulers of the heathen, but have never had any other Race rule over them?

28.

A detailed blessing was given to Joseph through Moses in DEUTERONOMY 33:13-16: “And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land. (his own land separate from the rest of Israel?) for the precious things of heaven (spiritual) for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath (rain and wealth of the seas), And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon (abundant harvest of agricultural products) And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof (mineral wealth, oil and coal, gas, etc.) and for the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush (the favor of God, who appeared to Moses in the bush) let the blessings come upon the head of Joseph.” This prophecy promised Joseph’s descendants great material wealth, blessings and protection. One Race of people on this earth have always had abundant harvests. All others have always been short of food. One Race mines the ores, drills the oil wells, digs the coal and converts the “precious things of the earth” into the goods and services of “Modern civilization.” Other Races lives as they did millenniums ago!

29.

Israel was the only people ever promised by God that He would answer their prayers and watch over them. What people have prayed to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob down through the last score of centuries, have had their prayers answered, and have been prospered by Him while the other Races sit in heathen darkness? If the White, Nordic Race is REALLY just like the colored Races, why did the God of Abraham, choose ONLY the white Race in which to establish HIS WORSHIP? Why are only WHITE nations known as CHRISTIAN nations?

30.

In PSALM 147 God said, “He sheweth His Word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgements unto Israel, HE HATH NOT DEALT SO WITH ANY NATION AS FOR HIS JUDGEMENTS THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN THEM.” The White Race prints and worships from millions of “His Statutes and His Judgements” and only Israel was to have them. Does this make God a liar; or is the White Nordic Race Israel?

31.

In MATTHEW 15:24, Jesus said, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Was His entire mission a farce? Your teaching seems to make it so.

306

32.

In ISAIAH 62:2, God said to Israel, “Thou shalt be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord shall name.” HOSEA 2:17 reads, “They shall no more be remembered by their name.” In ISAIAH 65, God said to the enemies of His servant Israel, “And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto My Chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, AND CALL HIS SERVANTS BY ANOTHER NAME.” These “enemies” are yet called by their ancient name of “Jew,” but Israel lost her name and identity, became the “Caucasian” Race (from the mountains of our captivity), and now the “Christian” nations, named after the Name of our God and our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, FULFILLING HIS PROPHECIES TO ISRAEL.

33.

Through JEREMIAH, the LORD God told Israel, “I will take you one of a city, and two of a family and bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” (3:1415) God brought over 40 million Caucasians to America (Zion) in one 50 year period, the greatest mass migration in all of human history, AND THEY HAD BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN MINISTERS! Yet, you preach the migration of a handful of atheistic and agnostic “Jews” to old Palestine, with their Rabbis, who curse the Name of Jesus Christ, is “the fulfillment of the prophecies of the regathering of God’s People Israel to their land!” What nonsense you preach from God’s pulpits!

ESAU-EDOM AND THE “JEWS” 34.

In the GENESIS 25 story of Esau selling the birthright to Jacob, we read that he sold it for “red pottage…therefore was his name called Edom.” Edom means “Red.”

35.

GENESIS 28:9 tells us that ESAU went “unto Ishmael and took unto the wives he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael.” GENESIS 36:2 says he also “took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibaman the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite.” So, these descendants of Esau would be called ISHMAELITES, CANAANITES, HITTITES, AND HIVITES! The very people God later ordered Israel NOT to marry!

36.

God makes sure we know of the separation of Esau and Jacob (Israel), for GENESIS 36:6 tells us, “Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters…and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.” Therefore, Esau’s offspring would NOT take husbands and wives from the Hebrews, BUT FROM THE ISHMAELITES AND CANAANITES AMONG WHOM THEY DWELT! In a few generations, they would be almost full-blooded Ishmaelites and CANAANITES.

37.

The rest of GENESIS 36 tells us four times that Esau “is Edom” and the “father of Edomites.” Adding this up, we would expect Esau’s progeny to be 307

known as Ishmaelites, Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, or collectively as “EDOMITES.” Remember as you read on, that Edom means “Red.” 38.

Several hundred years later when God delivered the Israelites from Egypt, NUMBERS 20 tells us THE FIRST PEOPLE TO FIGHT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE THE “EDOMITES!” All the books of history in the Bible tell of enmity and war between Israel and “Edom.” AS I’ve shown, the Exodus Israelites were NOT called “Jews.” Only Israelites of the Judah Kingdom (500 years after the Exodus) were called Jews, from the name “Judahite.” (II Kings 16:6).

39.

In the book of Esther, when the king sent out the decree to protect the “Jews” (who were the Judahites of the Babylonian captivity), “many of the people of the land BECAME JEWS: for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.” (ESTHER 8:17). This king ruled “from India unto Ethiopia” compassing the territory occupied by the Hittites, Hivites, Jebusites, and Canaanites, so it is probable that tens of thousands of these people collectively known as “EDOM” professed the name “Jew” to escape the king’s wrath. They were NOT descendants of Jacob-Israel, though they had now become “Jews.” This was 500 years BEFORE Christ.

40.

EZRA 9:1 AFTER THE Jewish remnant returned to Palestine, we find they took wives among the Hittites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and the Amorites: thereby adding more of “Edom” to the “Jews” who lived in Jerusalem at the coming of Jesus Christ.

41.

Coming down through history to near the time of Christ we find that Flavius Josephus states that the “Idumeans” (Edomites) became part of “Jewry,” as we have seen from the Book of ESTHER. This would explain why some “Jews” believed the Christ, and other “Jews” hated Him. Those who believed were simply the ones of Israelite ancestry; while those who hated Him were of Esau-Edom! Now, go back and read #23 and #32 before you go on!

42.

The BIBLICA ENCYCLOPEDIA, Vol. 2, Col. 1187, says that the Edomites are part of Jewry. The scientist and historian Dr. David Davidson wrote: “Indeed the Edomites later became completely absorbed in Jewry and under their aggressive intrusion, the Jews became racially the medium of expression for the Edomite ideal for which Herod the Great had first given political formation. The Edomite intrusion into Judaism AT EVERY HISTORICAL POINT OF CONTACT is fully discussed in the volumes of the Cambridge Ancient History. The History of the latest phase of the intrusion (absorption or inter-marriage) is in the summary of the Encyclopedia Biblica, Volume 2, Col 1187 (he then quotes that). Even the fact that the Edomites have at length BECOME JEWS was soon completely forgotten by the exponents of Jewish tradition.” (It is this “tradition” which Christian ministers have been tricked into preaching instead of the truth.)

308

43.

The JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA, edition of 1925, Vol. 5, page 41, states “Edom is in modern Jewry.”

KHAZARS AND THE “JEWS” 44.

H.G. Wells, in his great OUTLINE OF HISTORY verifies what we have just read, that millenniums ago the Edomites became “Jews.” But then, he goes on and gives us another trial to follow in correctly identifying the people today “who call themselves Jews.” He says that these “Idumeans” joined with a “Turkish” people of Southern Russia (the Khazars), who also “became Jews,” and BOTH make up the present day “Jews.” Mr. Wells concludes, “The main part of Jewry NEVER WAS IN JUDEAE AND HAD NEVER COME OUT OF JUDAEA!” How about reading some history Reverend Minister?

45.

Funk & Wagnall’s JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA has a map showing the religions of Europe in the 10th Century. And the area north of the Black Sea is marked “JEWS (Chazars)” and the two words are used INTERCHANGEABLY in many old Jewish books. Speaking of these “Jews,” Col. John Beaty, former U.S. Intelligence Officer, writes in his book, Iron Curtain Over America, “As time passed, it came about that these Khazar people of mixed non-Russian stock, who hated the Russians and lived under Babylonian Talmudic law, became known in the western world, from their place of residence and their legal-religious code, as Russian Jews.” Tens of thousands of these non-Israelite “Jews” migrated to America prior to 1880. Millions have come since.

46.

Prof. Roland B. Dixon, of Harvard, wrote in 1923, “The most important single factor, however, in the differentiation of these Jews of the Asiatic borderland…WAS THE CONVERSION TO JUDAISM IN THE EIGHTH CENTURY OF THE KHAZARS. In these (Khazars)…We may in all probability see the origin of the great mass of the East European Jews of today.

47.

Nathan M. Pollock, a Khazar-Jew, spent 40 years researching the origin of his fellow “Jews”. He says that six out of ten in Palestine, AND NINE OUT OF TEN IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE (AMERICA) ARE NOT REAL JEWS, BUT DESCENDANTS OF THE FIERCE KHAZAR TRIBES WHICH ROAMED THE STEPPES OF SOUTHERN RUSSIA MANY CENTURIES AGO.” He states that the names Halperin, Halpern, Alpert, Galpern, etc. are 100% Khazar. Also, Kaplan, Caplon, Koppel, Kogan, Kaganovich (Russianized) and similar derivative names. (THE JEWS THAT AREN’T, San Diego Union, August 28, 1966). His findings, and many others too numerous to list in this tract, corroborate the Khazar ancestry of the most modern “Jews.”

48.

The Khazar-Jews of Europe and America have always had an affinity to their Mongol brethren of Asia. The Jewish movie “czars” of filthy, corrupting Hollywood are often called “moguls,” a term dating back to the Khan “Moguls,” or

309

“rulers,” of Genghis Khan. It is simply a Mongol identification, NOT an Israelite one. MODERN “JUDAISM” COMES FROM BABYLON 49.

Professor H. Graetz, in his long HISTORY OF THE JEWS, Vol. II, Pub. 1893, page 631, says of the Jewish Talmud, among many other things, “The Babylonian Talmud is especially distinguished from the Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud…(then follows the comparisons)…it was for this reason that the BABYLONIAN rather than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish Race, its life breath, its very soul…”

50.

In Harmsworth’s HISTORY OF THE WORLD is a section on “The Hebrew Peoples” written by Dr. H. Winckler, L.M. King, Dr. R.G. Brandis, and H.R. Hall. On pages 1781-1784, Volume 3 show that, “Judaism was not evolved in Judah; it was in Babylon that Judaism first became that which it was and still is.” In other words, JUDAISM, rather than being the religion of ancient Israel, as you tell your flock, IS THE RELIGION OF ISRAEL’S ANCIENT PAGAN ENEMY, BABYLON!

51.

In the same book above, the same authors say the distinction between Israel and Judah “can best be expressed in the phrase, which may sound paradoxical, but yet aptly characterizes the true relationship of the two people: THE ISRAELITES WERE NOT JEWS!”

52.

Quoting H.G. Wells’ OUTLINE OF HISTORY again, “Judaism is indeed the reconstructed political ideal of many shattered peoples…it is to the Phoenician contingent and to Aramean accessions IN BABYLON that the financial and commercial tradition is to be ascribed.” So, even their “economic” ideas come from Babylon! It is much more than coincidental that “BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (REVELATION 17 & 18) is an “economic” system of oppression!

COMMUNISM AND THE “JEWS” 53.

Speaking of an “economic system of oppression,” that fits communism (socialism), and Rev. Denis Fahey, in his THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST IN MODERN WORLD writes, “According to the data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik State (1918-1919)…457 (were) Jews.” (Reverend, as you know by reading the precious points, the name “Jew” no longer means “Israelite,” so you know the ones we speak of from here on are of Esau-Edom, Khazar, and Mongol ancestry, now called “Jews”.)

54.

Six men led the Bolshevik revolt in Russia: Lenin, Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Sverdlev, and Luacharsky. Five were Jews, Trotsky’s real name was Leve

310

Bronstein, Lenin’s was Hiam Goldmann. Their plan was written by Karl Marx, son of a Jewish Rabbi. 55.

Michal Hrushevsky in his A HISTORY OF THE UKRAINE, Yale University Press, 1941, says, “In 1897 was founded the Bund, the union of JEWISH WORKERS in Poland and Lithuania…They engaged in revolutionary activity upon a large scale, and their energy made them THE SPEARHEAD OF THE (Communist) PARTY.”

56.

You know the story of Lenin and the sealed train crossing Europe with his followers to take control of the Russian revolution. But, did you know that “Out of a list of 165 names published, 23 are Russian, 3 Georgian, 4 Armenian, 1 German, and 128 JEWISH?” (THE SURRENDER OF AN EMPIRE, N.H. Webster, 1931, p. 77).

57.

The same source above states, “At about the same time, Trotsky (Jew) arrived from the United States, followed by over 300 Jews from the East End of New York.” (Page 73).

58.

Edward Ross in his RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION writes, “This is why refugees, obscure to us although not to the Russians, who in exile had been obliged to work in our steel mills and tailor shops for a living, former residents of New York’s East side, …will rise to be the heads of the Soviets and, later, cabinet ministers of a government ruling a tenth of the human race.” Ross was in FAVOR of them and he ends this portion with, “In all modern history, there is no romance like it!”

59.

Frank Britton put it a little more bluntly, “Soon these hoards or returning Jews would exercise the power of life and death over 150 million Christian Russians. Soon every factory, every government bureau, every school district, and every army would function under the gimlet eye of a Jewish Commisar. Soon the blood of human beings would be oozing from under the doors of the Communist execution chambers as tens of thousands of Christian men and women were butchered like cattle in a slaughterhouse. Soon five million landowners would be deliberately starved to death as part of a premediated plan. Soon a move would be under way to exterminate the gentile leader class of the entire nation by murdering every Christian factory owner, and lawyer, and government leader, and army officer, and every other person who had been, or might be, a potential leader. Soon the standing population of the slave-labor camps would exceed 16 million. Soon every church and cathedral would be gutted, and every priest and preacher would become a criminal in his own community. Soon Russia would have a zombie-proletariat, docile, willing to work, easily controlled, incapable of revolt…When the Bolsheviks came to power, they systematically undertook to destroy every vestige of opposition by exterminating the upper classes of Russian society. The fury of the RED TERROR can be explained ONLY AS A MANIFESTATION OF JEWISH HATRED AGAINST CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION…Such was the ‘romance’ of the Bolshevik revolution.” Frank Britton gives many pages of 311

documented terror, and then sums it up, “the total effect was much the same as it would be in any country. With its small middle and upper class exterminated, Russia’s peasant and worker population accepted Jewish Bolshevism without protest. The Russian masses, deprived of its spokesmen and leaders, WAS SIMPLY INCAPABLE OF COUNTER-REVOLUTION. That was what the RED TERROR set out to accomplish.” (above from BEHIND COMMUNISM 96 pages, profusely illustrated and documented.) Without going into more gory details of the Jewish murder of millions of their Christian captives, of which you can plead ignorance, it hardly seems possible you can be ignorant of more recent news about “Communism, such as: 60.

After World War II the following Jews ruled in Europe: Rokosi in Hungary, Jacob Berman in Poland, Anna Pauker in Romania, Rudophy Slansky in Czecholslovakia, and Kagonovich in Russia through Stalin.) Even non-Jews such as Tito of Yugoslavia were controlled by Jews. John Gunther in BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN writes of the Jew Mosa Pijade, “He is Tito’s mentor – whatever ideological structure Tito may have, he got from his shrewd old man.”

61.

In America, the Jew, Gerhart Eisler, ran the Communist Party from 1935 to 1947. His right-hand man was J. Peters, whose real name was Goldberger and he is Jewish. Today, 6 of the top 9 Party officers are Jews.

62.

In 1945, six men were arrested for stealing government secrets in the “Amerasia” case. Three were Jews.

63.

In 1946, a Canadian spy ring was broken up. Among its members were Dr. Raymond Boyer (wife Anita Cohen – Jewess), David Shugar, J. Isador Gottheir, Israel Halperin, and Samuel Carr (Cohen). Its leader was Fred Rose (Rosenberg).

64.

In 1949, the 12 members of the National Secretariat of the American Communist Party were tried under then existing laws. Six of the twelve were known Jews, three more may have been. All were convicted and served short sentences or were fined.

65.

In 1950, ten Hollywood writers and directors were convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions about their Communist connections. Nine WERE JEWS and six of them were party members!

66.

After the conviction of the above, the second string “Politburo” took over the American Communist Party. Of these 21, 14 were Jews, 1 was a mistress of a Jew and two were colored.

67.

The spy trials of the 1950’s, which you must remember, were almost 100% Jewish. The Jew Klaus Fuchs (who was admitted to the U.S. at the request of Albert Einstein) was found out first; then followed Harry Gold, David Greenglass, Abraham Brothman, Miriam Moskowitz, Sidney Weinbaum, Julius and Ethel 312

Rosenberg (who received the death sentence) and Morton Sobell. Before the whole thing was over, others such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Frank Oppenheimer, and a “Steve Nelson” came under investigation. “Steve Nelson” turned out to be a Mr. Mesarosh, a Jew, and his contact was a Joseph W. Weinberg of the University of Minnesota! 68.

“Civil Rights” movements, Negro agitation organizations such as the NAACP, CORE, SNCC, etc. are organized and controlled by Jews. The “anti-war,” “peace,” Women’s Lib,” and other “minority” agitation and revolutionary groups have mostly Jews in their upper leadership. Hasn’t this made you at least curious?

69.

Hollywood studios turn out hundreds of anti-Nazi movies, thousands of proCommunist ones, AND NO ANTI-COMMUNISTS MOVIES. Jewish control of that “industry” is known by all and is openly admitted. Why haven’t you ministers even wondered about that? Television, with Jewish control of the networks and productions, follows the same line. The same corrupting influence can be traced in liquor, pornography, prostitution, rock music, drugs, sex-education, sensitivity training, subtle and open promotion of youth rebellion, anti-Bible and antiChristian laws and court decisions and attitudes, and on and on and on. You express sorrow; sometimes even anger, at the corruption, BUT YOU NEVER EXPOSE ITS JEWISH SOURCE. WHY?

WHAT DO YOUR LIES DO TO YOUR PEOPLE IN AMERICA? 70.

God’s Holy Word, the Bible, warns His Israel People of her enemies in the end of the age. A great invasion of Israel nations is foretold, especially in EZEKIEL 38 AND 39. It takes but little vision to see that if the “Jews” of today are actually the Edomite-Khazar-Mongols (Magog of Ezekiel 38) who are behind and ruled Russian and World Socialism, then Ezekiel really prophesied an invasion of the Saxon Israel nations by the people we call “Jews.” AND THAT INVASION IS WELL UNDER WAY! Meanwhile you hide it from Christian-Israel by telling your flock that Ezekiel 38 and 39 is a prophecy of a future invasion of Jewishoccupied Palestine by the “Russians.” The Khazar-Jews in Palestine and their counterparts in Moscow carry out a soc-called “war”, in which only Arabs get hurt, AND YOU PREACH THAT SHAM IS A FULFILLMENT OF BIBLE PROPHECY! True Israel remains blind to her danger, and to her destiny.

SPECIAL TO “LUTERAN” MINISTERS This is not numbered and is directed to those who think they follow the teachings of Martin Luther, the great German reformer. (Translated from BIBLISCHES SPRUCH U. SCHATZ-KASTLEIN by Karl Fliedner.) In the first part, Luther complains of the Jews “squeezing from us our money and goods” and of their, “lying, blaspheming, and cursing,” and then he admonished “We should not suffer it…lest we become partakers of their sins.”

313

Then, he goes on. “I will give you my true council: First, that we avoid their synagogues and schools and WARN PEOPLE AGAINST THEM. And such should be done to the glory of God and Christendom, that God may see that we are Christians, AND HAVE NOT KNOWINGLY TOLERATED SUCH LYING, CURSING AND BLASPHEMING OF HIS SON AND HIS CHRISTIANS…” On the Talmud: “The heathen philosophers write much more honourably not only about God’s government and future life, but also about temporal virtues. They write that man is by nature obligated to serve others, also to keep his word to enemies, and be true and helpful to them especially in need, as taught by Cicero and his like. Yea, I maintain THAT IN THREE FABLES OF AESOP, THERE IS MORE WISDOM TO BE FOUND THAN IN ALL THE BOOKS OF THE TALMUDISTS AND RABBIS…” Yet, “Lutheran” ministers think Judaism is the predecessor of Christianity! Luther wrote on economic bondage to them: “Why, they hold us Christians in captivity in our own country; they let us work in the sweat of our noses, while they appropriate money and goods…live well and easy on goods for which we have worked, keep us and our goods in captivity THROUGH THEIR CURSED USURY (Interest), mock us and spit on us, because we must labor and permit them to be noblemen at our expense; thus they are our lords and masters we their servants with our own property, sweat and labor! AND TO THANK US AND REWARD US, THEY CURSE OUR LORD!” Today, Luther’s writings on the great problems of his day have been almost eliminated from Lutheran books and seminaries. Nothing of his writings on the “Jews” are allowed to be taught in “Lutheran” seminaries. 6,000,000 JEWS You ministers often repeat the Jew story that “Hitler killed 6 million Jews,” yet the 1939 World Almanac shows 15,688,259 Jews in the world and 9 years later, the New York Times reported there were between 15,600,000 and 18,700,000 Jews! If Hitler killed 6 million, how come there were no less in 1948 than in 1939? The same sources report the Jews in Germany in 1938, PRIOR TO THE SUPPOSED KILLINGS, totaled only 550,000 (1/2 million!) If Germans killed 38% of all Jews in the world, does that mean the 9,688,259 left had six to nine million children in the next 9 years? It takes normal populations 100 years to double – how come Jews did it in 9? AND THEN NEVER DID IT AGAIN? (Present world population of “Jews” is about the same as it was in 1948). Why do you repeat this Jewish propaganda lie to your flock? YOU AND THE “JEWS” The evidence proving the present day “Jews” are NOT “The house of Israel” is endless. History gives abundant proof that the White, Nordic Race sprang from dispersed Israel.

314

The White Christian nations are the seed of Abraham through whom all the world is to be blessed! WE ARE ISRAEL! We’ll continue fulfilling Israel’s appointed destiny. Christ’s Blood has sealed to us the promises made unto our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You can share that destiny with us; or you can continue with Esau-Edom until the day when “the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and THE HOUSE OF ESAU FOR STUBBLE, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; AND THERE SHALL NOT BE ANY REMAINING OF THE HOUSE OF ESAU: for the LORD hath spoken it…And saviours shall come upon Mount Zion to just the Mount of Esau: and Kingdom shall be the LORD’s.” (Obadiah 18, 21). AUTHOR’S COMMENTS I could have written another 70 items, but if these 70 have not convince you of the true identity of modern Jewry – then I could do no more with 700! God will open your eyes; or they will remain blinded. I can only provide people with the means to place some Truth in your hands to read. History and Scripture prove the people known as “Jews” today are not only NOT Israel, but are actually the ENEMIES OF ISRAEL. For God, who knows the end from the beginning, foresaw all this, as we have seen from the Holy Word. Genesis 28:9 and 36:2 show Esau married wives of Ismael and Canaanites. Genesis 36 says, “Esau is Edom…Esau, who is Edom…Esau, the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir.” Looking at the antichrist activities of the modern “Jew,” and knowing they are Esau-Edom (Khazars), you can see what the Bible says, “As it is written, Jacob (Israel) I loved, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED.” (ROMANS 9:13). You should look up the prophecies for Esau, Edom, and Mount Seir when you want to preach about “them which say they are Jews, AND ARE NOT, but are the synagogue of Satan.” (REVELATION 2:9; 3:9). THEY ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN THE PROPHECIES ABOUT ISRAEL. Instead of a glorious future as God’s Chosen, the descendants of Esau-Edom Jewry are slated for total destruction. (See OBADIAH and others.) Their claim to Palestine, and their claim that America should help, is based on the false identity provided them by their own propaganda, fortified by your erroneous teachings. Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, in Chapter of his monumental and almost forgotten book, THE INTERNATIONAL JEW states, “There is a mission for the pulpit to liberate the Church from what the New Testament Scriptures call ‘the fear of the Jews.’ The pulpit has also the mission of liberating the Church from the error that Judah and Israel are synonymous. The reading of the Scriptures which confuse the Tribe of Judah with Israel, and which interpret every mention of Israel as signifying the Jews, is at the root of more than one-half of the confusion and division traceable in Christian doctrinal statements. THE JEWS ARE NOT THE CHOSEN PEOPLE, THOUGH PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE CHURCH HAS SUCCUMBED TO THE PROPAGANDA WHICH DECLARES THEM TO BE SO!”

315

The last quote above, by Henry Ford in 1921, stated the truth then, and it is a more urgent truth today: THE DOCTRINE THAT THE JEWS ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE OF GOD IS PURELY AND SIMPLY “PROPAGANDA”! And you, dear Christian Minister, have fallen for the greatest deception ever practiced upon Israel! Dear Minister: The question for you now is: Will you preach and teach the Truth about Israel? Or will you continue to preach the False Doctrine that “The Jews are God’s Chosen People”? A reply may be expected by whoever gave you this tract; but more importantly, you will eventually be REQUIRED to answer for your works at the Judgement Seat of Christ, “And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give to every man according to his work shall be.” (REVELATION 22:12). This tract was written by Pastor Sheldon Emry.

APPENDIX III THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD GOD Which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and will all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:36-40) THE DECALOGUE I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. I.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. III. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My Commandments. IV.

Thou shalt not take the Name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.

V. Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made the heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath Day, and hallowed It. VI.

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. VII.

Thou shalt not murder.

VIII. Thou shalt not commit adultery. IX.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

317

X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet they neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. (Exodus 20:1-17)

APPENDIX IV: 2,713 COMMANDS IN THE LAW OF MOSES According to Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible, “These commands do not include the 106 in Genesis, only those beginning with the life of Moses. They are divided into 4 sections, as follows:”

1.

203 Commands to Moses before the 10 Commandments were given. Most of these were personal commands directing Moses in his war with Pharaoh, the Exodus, and the Journey to Sinai (Exodus 3:5, 10, 14-16, 18; 4:3-4, 6-7, 12, 15-17, 19, 21-22, 27; 6:6, 11, 13, 29; 7:2, 9, 15, 19; 8:1, 5, 16, 20; 9:1, 8, 13, 22; 10:1, 12, 21; 11:2; 12:2-27, 43-49; 13:2-3, 5-16; 14:2, 13, 15-16, 26; 15:25; 16:4-5, 9, 16, 19, 23, 2526, 29, 32-33; 17:5-6, 14; 19:3, 10, 12-15, 20-24).

2.

10 Commandments, including 37 statements (Exodus 20:3-17; Deuteronomy 5:1-21).

3.

155 Commands in the first section of the Mosaic Covenant – those between the 10 Commandments and the dedication and sealing of the Book of the Covenant with the blood of animals (Exodus 20:18-24:8).

4.

2,345 Commands, which are additions to the Book of the Law of Moses (Exodus 24:1-Deuteronomy 34:12). In this section, there are commands to Moses (Exodus 32:34; 33:1-3, 5; 34:1-3, 27; 35:4-19; 40:1-15; Numbers 1:1-4; 2:1-34; 3:14-16, 38; 11:16-17; 12:4; 13:1-20; 14:25, 28, 42; 16:21; 17:1-5; 20:8, 12-13; 21:8-9, 16, 34; 25:17; 26:1-4, 52-56; 27:15-23; 31:2; 34:1-15; 34:16-29; 35:1-15; Deuteronomy 1:6-8; 2:1-37; 3:1-11, 23:29; 4:14; 10:1-11; 31:14-22, 30; 32:4950); Aaron (Leviticus 10:6-7; Numbers 18:1-8; 20:25-16); Sons of Uzziel (Leviticus 10:4); Eleazer (Numbers 16:36-40); Korah (Numbers 16:6-9; 31:2427); Joshua (Deuteronomy 3:21-22; 31:23); Levites (Numbers 25:4-9; 31:2427); Israel (Exodus 23:11-16; Numbers 11:18; 16:13-16; 16:24-26, 45-50; 18:22; Deuteronomy 3:18-20; 6:9-10; 10:14-22; 11:2-9; 17:8-11; 19:1-13; 31:68, 28-30; 32:7, 46); Nations (Deuteronomy 32:43); and Heaven and Earth (Deuteronomy 32:1).

In all, we have 2,277 Commands embodied in 455 Laws of Moses, which are listed below. They were the rules of religion and morals for all Israel until the Messiah should come to make the New Covenant. Many of the Commands have been repeated in Scripture, so they are listed here in groups. In the case of the 10 Commandments, for instance, there are 225 Statements or Commands repeating some phase of them.
