Rape & The Impact on Black Y-DNA. From late 2017 to 2019 the interest in DNA testing exploded. People were buying DNA testing kits and sharing the result on the internet and YouTube. The DNA boom has made genetic testing one of the hottest conversations worldwide and especially in America.
There are three types of DNA tests. An autosomal DNA test which I will get to that later. Then there is a Y-DNA test which only men can effectively use. It identifies male relatives on the paternal line reaching back 60,000 years. The mtDNA test can determine genetic relationships on a maternal line from up to 150,000 years ago. This test is applicable to both men and women. It usually includes an analysis of your genetic makeup. It includes their regions of origin, maternal and paternal lineage, and Neanderthal ancestry. I didn’t make this up. It's an integral aspect of this service.
Several companies offer this service. Their databases will identify and offer to connect you with people who share a DNA match with you.
But to me, the most interesting aspect of this DNA testing was the reaction of most negroes. With elation, these negroes would put forward their DNA result on YouTube. It would read like this: 2% Scots, 1% Scandinavian, 50% Bantu African 30% Cameroon, and 17% Ghana It was common for these negroes to diminish the 97% of them that are negroid. But they would amplify the 3% of the European DNA. The next you know they start buying kilt and research their white “ancestors” to invite to the next family reunions.
During slavery, there was widespread rape of enslaved women. Their European masters spawned many children with the Y-DNA of their rapist forefathers. In layman's terms, this means that the child of the rapist inherits half of his DNA. The victim of the rape also contributes half of her DNA. Over several generations, the descendants of the rapist will pass this DNA down the gene pool of the affected people. Technically this is what is termed previously as Neanderthal ancestry. But as we can see from the example above, over time the percentage becomes diluted and is often becomes negligible. The victims do not qualify for Neanderthal ancestry anymore. Because of the thinking that the White man has a Neantheral origin. This is why they think Neandtheral ancestry is important.
MyHeritage website states: “Your origins are encoded in your DNA and enable us to pinpoint where in the world your ancestors came from. Your DNA results will include an ethnicity breakdown and identify the specific groups you descend from among 2,114 geographic regions”
Therefore, all this DNA tells you is that they can identify where in Europe the rapist originates from. If your DNA says you are 2% Scots, then the rapist of one of your female ancestors was a Whiteman from Scotland. Amplifying your negligible European ancestry is glorifying the rape of your foreparents. You should be ashamed of the result.
Using this process to determine ancestry is spurious at best but outright false. There is another test that is more scientific and foolproof. It is an autosomal test. It is based on the scientific premise thousands of years ago every human descended from a certain human.. This individual passes on his YDNA haplogroup to his male descendants, who pass it on to their male descendants unchanged through many generations.
There are exceptions to the rule because sometimes they do change. Science calls this a mutation. Scientists say mutation can occur during cell division and it is usually a terrible thing. Science admits that there is a deficit gap in many areas of DNA research. It has to do with GOD.
Humanity was descended from one of Noah’s three sons. Shem, Ham, and Japhet. But today we have scores of many different haplogroups in the world. Some are Asian, some are White, while others remain negroid, including Israel. All of this is outside of the scope of this study; therefore, I will stop here.
Today we ascertain that the founding Lineage for the Ancient Israelite nationality is the E1B1A haplogroup. They are the descendants of the Biblical character, Jacob. This is how GOD determines the genealogy of the true people of Israel. except that DNA science was not born at that time
DNA passes on from the father to his sons, but daughters can ascertain their Israelite genealogy also. They find out from the genealogy of her grandfather, father brother, or even male cousins in the same line.
Ezr 8:1 And these are the rulers of their families, and the genealogy of the ones ascending with me, in the kingdom of Artaxerxes the king of Babylon.
Neh 7:61 And these ascended from Tel-melah, Tel-haresha, Cherub, Addon, Immer. And they were not able to identify the houses of their families, and their seed, if they are of Israel.
The above Ezra eight verse two to fourteen, mention the genealogy of the Israelites gathered in Baylon. Nehemiah seven, verse sixty one speaks of some who could not ascertain their genealogy. These people could not trace their geneology and were excluded from Israelite identification
During slavery, there were lots of rape of enslaved women by their masters. Many male children were spawned by the Y-DNA of their rapist forefathers. This bears out today in the fact that the DNA haplogroup of African Americans is about 31% other than E1B1A. I can’t make this up. The website “Your DNA guide” https://www.yourdnaguide.com/ydgblog/ydna-haplogroup-e quotes the following.:
“For about 35% of African Americans who perform Y-chromosome testing, they find that their Y-chromosome is of European origin”
That is more than the 29% I read in previous science journals. His is proof that many people who call themselves Israel are not. They are descendants of White slave masters. Their DNA haplogroup is not E1B1A.
This reminds me of to a YouTube video I once made.
Who are the true Israel of GOD. Are they a race E1B1a or Black people in general? The Bible explains
In this video, I focused on a certain self-styled Hebrew Israelite teacher. A very bad and devilish one I might add. This guy teaches Israel that Africa is Israel and Ethiopia is Jerusalem. Apparently, he went out and took the autosomal DNA test and it turned out that he was Haplogroup G.
Haplogroup G (M201) is a human Y-chromosome haplogroup.
“Nowadays haplogroup G is found all the way from Western Europe and Northwest Africa to Central Asia. India and East Africa, although everywhere at low frequencies (Generally between 1 and 10% of the population) The only exception are the Caucasus region, Central and Southern Italy, and Sardinia, where frequencies typically range from 15% to 30% of male lineages” Let me remind you that the enslavers and colonists came from Western Europe. Fact is, only 65% of African American is E1B1A. put that into perspective.
With that said, should Israel start having identity crisis and run for the hills? I don’t think so for various reasons. I do believe that most people who would think of themselves as Israelites are most likely that. The main reason is that the so-called Black people know they are not of Israel.
I must hasten to add that these DNA haplogroup results are often skewed. African American/Black are the only choices on all government and commercial forms for example. Therefore, men from other nationalities are accounted as African American for the purpose of determining the DNA sampling for E1B1A test.
The Bible records that GOD will scatter the people of Israel worldwide. There they would be severely Afflicted by their enemies whom they were scattered. This would include the theft of their land and natural resources, the enslavement and murder of their people, and the rape of their women.
Rape is violence and hatred against someone. By the way, the slavers raped boys also. Whomever it is the victims bear no fault. The criminal controls all the institutions of (in)justice so there will not be any accountability for his actions and no redress for the victims. I can only envision the severe psychological trauma of the victim of rape. For some victims, the impact can be lifelong. This reminds me of a rape incident recorded in the Bible. King David of Israel had a son Amnon who conspired to rape his half-sister Tamar. It went as follows:
2Sa_13:11 And she brought to him to eat. And he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, go to bed with me my sister! 2Sa_13:12 And she said to him, No, O my brother, you should not abase me, for it shall not be done so in Israel. You should not do this folly. 2Sa_13:13 And I, where shall I carry away my scorn? And you will be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak indeed to the king! for in no way will he restrain me from you. 2Sa_13:14 And Amnon did not want to hear her voice. And he powered over her, and abased her, and went to bed with her. 2Sa 13:17 And he called his servant set over his house, and said to him, Send indeed this one from me outside, and lock the door after her! 2Sa 13:19 And Tamar took ashes, and put them upon her head. And the inner garment, the one with long sleeves, the one upon her, she tore; and she put her hands upon her head, and she went going and crying out. 2Sa 13:20 And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? And now my sister be silent! for he is your brother. Do not put it to your heart to say anything! And Tamar sat expiring in the house of Absalom her brother.
Thayer Definition: expiring G1634
1) to expire, to breathe out one’s life
This excerpt shows the great shame and psychological trauma of rape upon a woman. It shows the impact on Tamar as she sat expiring (wasting away emotionally) in the house of her brother. As far as she was concerned her life was over and she was good for nothing. But one notes that this is a family situation. Imagine how much more terrible it was during slavery and colonialism. These were foreign nations who holds your people in captivity. Shame on those who celebrate the minimal Neanderthal heritage. You glorify the rape of your ancestors.
A lot of Hebrew Israelites seem to have some misgivings about the following verse.
1Ti_1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
This verse was an instruction to Timothy from Apostle Paul. It was intended to correct certain doctrinal flaws. At the time some Edomite has infiltrated the assembly’s setup by the early Israelite followers of CHRIST. They and some other genetic Israelites did not understand the importance of Faith to salvation. Each group thinks that physical genealogy to Abraham is all that is necessary for salvation. They would uphold their genealogy to Abraham at the expense of Faith.
The lesson here is that being 100% genetic descendants of Jacob does not guarantee salvation. The fact of slavery and colonialism may render some of us non-E1B1A. but Israel is about the mothers too. No man chose their parents and is not responsible for his origin. This is not to say you shouldn’t crave being of Israel.
When this is all said and done, A true Israelite is one that heeds the Word of GOD. HE is the one that instructs us that only a remnant will be saved. There are many Israelites who crave association with Israelites and therefore, GOD. Some are more nationalist Israel than those who are E1B1A haplogroup.
His father was Norval Sinclair Marley [picture]born in the UK in 1885. At the age of 60, met and later married 18-year-old Cedella Malcolm, while working as a supervisor on a plantation in Jamaica. Of course, this is an inappropriate sexual contact considering GOD’s commandment that Israelites must not marry Gentiles.
Bob Marley’s father was a Scotsman mostly from haplogroup R1b-M269, which originated in western Europe. Therefore, Bob Marley is from the R1b-M269 DNA Haplogroup. Because of his mixed racial makeup, Bob was bullied and derogatorily nicknamed “White Boy” by his neighbors. However, he later said the experience helped him develop this philosophy: "I’m not on the white man’s side, or the Black man’s side. I’m on God’s side.” Although he was from R1b-M269 DNA Haplogroup, from his lifestyle and music he craved a relationship with Israel and the GOD of Israel.
former President of Ghana was the son of a Scottish father as well. His mother was a Ghanaian. Listen to how nationalist “Black” he is.
But compare that to Ziggy Marley, Bob Marley’s son who openly declares he is not even a black man
If you notice lately a bush toward interracial marriage. One out of every three Television commercials are interracial theme. You know that the great majority of these interracial offspring often call themselves among their non-Negro parentage. They will never serve the GOD of Israel. They will turn Israel to their culture. The Bible teaches this over and over.
Exo_34:16 and you should take of their daughters to your sons, and of your daughters you should give to their sons; and your daughters should fornicate after their gods, and your sons will fornicate after their gods.
Are the Samaritans Israelites or Gentiles?
What is the Final Affliction in the Bible?
Thayer Definition: Affliction (G2347) 1) a pressing, pressing together, pressure 2) metaphorically oppression, affliction, tribulation, distress, straits.
However, In the King James Bible, they substituted the word “Tribulation”. It means the same thing.
Christian eschatology, says that the Tribulation is a time when everyone will experience worldwide hardships, persecution, disasters, famine, war, pain, and suffering, which will affect all of creation. They will correctly point to:
Mat 24:21 For there will be then great affliction, such as has not taken place from the beginning of the world until the present, nor in any way to be.
Related verses point to an unprecedented period of sustained suffering and troubles worldwide. During which there will be famines, extreme climatic upheavals, wars, and disasters.
Leaders warn of ‘unprecedented’ global food crisis risks
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, and pestilent things, and earthquakes in places.
The Christian will add that this period will usher in JESUS’s second coming of CHRIST to raptured them to heaven. If any of this is true, it would be of utmost importance to examine their merit.
JESUS was not the first to speak about the Final Affliction in the Bible. The prophets Daniel, Jeremiah, and others also referenced it. The Christians correctly refer this to as “Jacob’s Trouble” We read the following:
Jer 30:7 Woe, for great is that day, and there is not such, and it is a time of severity to Jacob, but from this he shall be delivered. Jer 30:8 In that day, said the LORD of the forces, I will break the yoke from their neck, and their bonds I will tear up, and they shall not work themselves any longer for strangers.
Jeremiah 30:7 says, "That day is great so that none is like it.” The only time that fits this description is the period of the Great Tribulation. An unparalleled time in history. We also notice that this great day is related to Israel (Jacob) and not the world in general. This makes us wonder if the verse is related to the great affliction or Tribulation. But we get clarity from other verses such as:
The word “you” can only be a reference to Jacob (Israel). But athough the world will go through a period of unprecedented hardship, the focus of “Great Affliction” is Israel.
In Dan 12:1 we also read of; “a time of affliction such as has not taken place from of which time there became a nation on the earth, until that time.”
Dan_12:1 And in that time shall rise up Michael the great ruler, the one standing for the sons of your people. And it will be a time of affliction such as has not taken place from of which time there became a nation on the earth, until that time. And in that time your people shall be delivered, every one found being written in the book.
This too references an unparalleled time in history. The focus is on Israel just like the previous verses. The “Sons of your people” must be referencing Israel since Daniel was an Israelite. The reality of diseases, famine, earthquakes, and wars will create unprecedented hard times during the last days. Christian theologians like to refer to that as the first part of the tribulation. But in fact, the tribulation is a whole and is concerned with the true people of Israel, NOT Christians.
Today people like to think of Israel as a geographical entity. Just like the people living over there in the middle east. That however is not the reality of the Bible. The Israel of the Bible is a genealogical and phenotypical entity. Jacob was a real man that lived over 4000 years ago. GOD renamed Jacob, Israel. and promised HE would be the GOD of his grandfather, father, and himself. GOD promised Jacob that his genealogical line would be HIS people and HE be their GOD. They would eventually be scatter them among the peoples of the world.
Dan_10:14 And I came to bring understanding to you as much as shall meet your people in last of the days. For the vision is still for days.
Since Daniel is a son of Israel, then Daniel’s people are the people of Israel. It is abundantly clear from the Bible that the People brought into the “New World” via the transatlantic slave trade are Daniels people. They alsone satisfies the curses of Deuteronomy. We also have proof in science that these people and their kin scattered worldwide represent a common Haplogroup type - E1B1A. For this lesson, we will decline to go into that. Therefore they represent the genealogical descendants of the man named Jacob and renamed Israel by GOD.
Having established the identity of Israel we can explore the events of the Great Affliction during JESUS’s discourse of Matthew 24. We read the following:
Mat 24:9 Then they shall deliver you unto affliction, and shall kill you; and you shall be ones being detested by all the nations on account of my name.
At some point in time, the Gentiles will come to the belief that the severe hard times are because of GOD’s actions on theIsrael's behalf. As a consequence of that Israel will be singled out for distruction during the last days.. Since Israel is often confused with other "Black" people, they themselves will be caught up in the general oppression meted out to Israel. Read about it in:
Which Gentiles can have Salvation?
But we read some disturbing things about how some Israelites would relate to each other.
Mat 24:10 And then many shall be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and they shall detest one another.
During the affliction of Israel, many of them will hate and will join their hands with the enemies against their brothers. This seems to be the focus of the term “many” refers to in verse 10. The answer is in the following verse:
Mat 24:3 And in his sitting down upon the mount of olives, there came forward to him the disciples in private, saying, Tell us when these things will be, and what is the sign of your arrival, and the completion of the age?
But the following verses taken into context proves who JESUS regards as the “many”. It is the people of Israel.
Mat_10:6 But you go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel! Act_5:31 This one -- God, chief and deliverer, exalted by his right hand, to give repentance to Israel and release of sins.
The “many” references in verse 10 can only be Israel. That is, many of them will be stumbled and deliver up each other to their persuers. At this point, we should take a Let us see what the term. stumbled means:
Thayer Definition: stumbled (G4624)
To “scandalize”; from G4625; to entrap, that is, trip up (figuratively stumble [transitively] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): - (make to) offend.
It is quite clear many of Israel will go contrary to the path of salvation GOD has instituted. They will hate their brothers and deliver them up to the enemies. They will join arm in arm with the people killing them. That is one of the most troubling facts of the Final Affliction from the viewpoint of the people of Israel.
The Christians have thought that JESUS said HE would make an actual appearance. That is incorrect. They will point to certain verses to show it. But these same verses prove our GOD has not said so. For example:
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself in a word of command by the voice of an archangel, and with a trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise up first.
This is the Rapture of the dead in CHRIST. This simply says that the LORD, HE with HIS voice and with a trumpet. HIS voice and the sound of the trumpet will descend from the Heavens. NOT Our CHRIST HIMSELF appearing on earth on the Rapture.
Another example:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in the heaven. And then all the tribes of the earth shall beat their chest. And they shall see the son of man coming upon the clouds of the heaven with power and great glory.
Nowhere in this verse does it say JESUS will appear on earth. It says the “sign” of the Son of Man”. Examples of HIS signs will be:
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, and pestilent things, and earthquakes in places.
These signs which HE related to HIS disciples earlier during the discourse.
Throughout the centuries the Christians have mangled some of the foundational doctrines of the Bible. The events of (Mat 24:1-51) confuse them greatly.
A school of thought, Preterist, believes the Tribulation took place in AD 70 when Roman legions destroyed Jerusalem and its temple. That would have meant the Final Affliction of Israel would have been in the past. This would be convenient for them as they also teach there is no judgment day. All are based on the idea of Christian and so-called Jewish salvation. These Ideas come from an erroneous understanding of Matthew 24:3.
Mat 24:3 And in his sitting down upon the mount of olives, there came forward to him the disciples in private, saying, Tell us when these things will be, and what is the sign of your arrival, and the completion of the age?
But let us do a breakdown of the verse. Some people reading this assume the disciples asked JESUS one question. But the verse showed that JESUS answered three questions.
HIS initial response indicates that HE is answering the question of HIS second coming. We read the following:
Mat 24:4-6 And answering Jesus said to them, Take heed lest any should mislead you! For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ. And they shall mislead many. But you shall be about to hear of wars and reports of wars. Look to it! lest you be alarmed, for all these things must take place, but not yet is the end.
He talked about the same thing in Matthew 24:9-12. It is the time of Israel’s great tribulation. The rapture has not taken place yet and therefore the world has not ended yet. This is also the point where HE forewarned Israel that there will be many false prophets among them. This question JESUS completed answering with:
Mat 24:13-14 But the one remaining unto the end, this one shall be delivered. And this good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the entire inhabitable world, for a testimony to all the ones among the nations; and then shall come the end.
Here JESUS just answered the second question? The end will come after all the events HE spoke about took place. The events of the Rapture of the Dead and Living of Israel. The Good News of the kingdom would have being proclaimed in the entire inhabitable world. The Rapture is the preaching of the Kingdom. This serves as a testimony to the Gentiles.
This relates to the events of AD 70. the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. This line of the answer takes on a more imminent tone. It talks about an incident that should occur that was prophesied by the prophet Daniel centuries ago. Historically we know that the Israelites fled Judea when the Romans descended upon them with a murderous rage.
Mat 24:15-20 Whenever then you should behold the abomination of the desolation, the thing having been spoken through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place; (the one reading let him comprehend!) Then the ones in Judea, let them flee unto the mountains! The one upon the roof, let him not go down to lift anything from out of his house. And the one in the field, let him not turn back to carry his garments. But woe to the ones having one in the womb, and the ones nursing in those days. And pray that your flight into exile should not take place in winter, nor on the Sabbath.
But the following passage should be proof to those reading today that this could only be talking about the events of AD 70.
Mat 24:34 Amen I say to you, In no way should this generation pass away until whenever all these things should come to pass.
That generation never passed because a generation is thought of as 40 years). This happened in 70AD.
The Bible makes it clear that none of the essence of the chosen of GOD shall remain on this earth. There are many verses in the Old Testament that GOD promises to rescue Israel from their enemies on the last day. Therefore, we read:
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a trumpet of great sound. And they shall assemble his chosen from out of the four winds, from the tips of the heavens unto their tips.
The following appears to be the first instance of GOD stating that the body of the dead saints will rise.
Dan 12:2 And many of the ones sleeping in an embankment of earth shall awaken, these unto eternal life, and these others unto scorning, and for eternal shame.
But there are many other instances. Especially the New Testament. In Christendom, the belief is that the rapture of the dead and the living is almost simultaneously. From the reading of other text, it appeared the two incidents may have happened days or maybe months apart.
Noteworthy is the fact that these all have their spirits with GOD already. The spirits will rejoin the risen body. We see this expressed in Eze 37:12.
Eze 37:12 On account of this prophesy and say! Thus says the Lord the LORD; Behold, I shall open your tombs, and I shall lead you from out of your tombs, and I will bring you into the land of Israel. Eze 37:13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, by my opening your graves, for me to lead you from out of your graves, O my people
In the New Testament, we learn that the Dead in CHRIST will rise before the ones living. Which strikes me as odd. You would think the living has a more urgent case. See the clarification GOD made through the Apostle Paul:
1Th 4:13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning the ones having gone to sleep, that you do not fret as even the rest, the ones not having hope. 1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose up, so also God will bring with him the ones having gone to sleep through Jesus. 1Th 4:15 For this to you we say by word of the Lord, that we, the ones living, the ones remaining at the arrival of the Lord, in no way should anticipate the ones having gone to sleep. 1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself in a word of command by the voice of an archangel, and with a trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise up first. 1Th 4:17 Thereupon we the living, the ones remaining, together with them shall be seized in clouds, for meeting the Lord in the air, and thus at all times with the Lord we shall be. So then comfort one another by these words!
The timeline of the Great Affliction will be shortened. Israel’s enemies will try to preempt GOD by attempting their mass extermination. This term “flesh” can only mean live persons because the LORD will Rapture those in the graves already anyway.
Mat 24:22 And unless those days were cut short, not even was any flesh delivered. But on account of the chosen ones those days shall be cut short.
This is illustrated as well in an Old Testament verse:
Mic_2:12 In being gathered Jacob shall be brought together with all. In looking out I shall look out for the remnant of Israel. Together I will establish their return, as sheep in affliction; as a flock in the midst of their fold, they leap out because of men
This is the language of the Great Tribulation or Affliction. Notice the urgency of their flight expressed in the words “they leap out because of men.” Even as in the urgency of the cutting short the time of Rapture in Mat 24:22
At some point during the Final tribulation, the Bible says that all the light-giving elements will be darkened or withdrawn.
Mat 24:29 And immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its brightness, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the forces of the heavens shall be shaken.
Therefore, the statement “the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its brightness” is a fact of the Bible. It cannot be avoided as it is repeated multiple times in both Old and New Testament scriptures alike. It describes a cataclysmic event that will be observed by anyone living at that time. The Christians have sought to spiritualize it away, claiming It is a metaphor for something else. But this is referring to an observable incident. It could not be mistaken for anything short of an act of GOD.
Space only permits me to list only a few more of these occurrences. but it references the same thing. For example:
Ezekiel 32:7 "And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud And the moon will not give its light. Isa_13:10 For the stars of the heaven, and Orion, and all the cosmos of the heaven shall not give of their light; and the rising of the sun shall be made dark, and the moon shall not give her light.
These references don’t show the reason for this. However, it may be a signal that time has ended since the rapture of Israel has taken place. This is referenced in Matthew 24:29 above.
We read of the destruction of Babylon in verses of Revelation and others, including:
Rev 18:9-10 And the kings of the earth shall weep for her and beat their chests over her, the ones committing harlotry with her, and living indulgently, whenever they should see the smoke of her burning fire, standing from far off on account of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe to the great city, Babylon, the strong city, for in one hour your judgment came.
This incident is referring to America as I have outlined in another post and YouTube video. Read: Proof America is Babylon of the Bible
Considering current events, we can see that America’s hegemony over the rest of the world is in serious contention. The war in Uk***ne illustrates that this world is now going bi-polar. Many countries realize their existence is severely challenged by America’s control over the world. It makes sense that they all want to put an end to it. If your eyes are on current events, you will have heard the buzz about nuclear war and World War III a lot. Most of America's enemies are nuclear-armed. Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, and India. While others such as Turkey and Iran are seeking them. These countries could easily initiate preemptive strikes to achieve the destruction of America under cover of darkness which GOD spoke of in Mat 24:29, Ezekiel 32:7, Isa 13:10, and other verses.
Interestingly, A Third of Americans Would Risk Nuclear War with Russia Over Uk***ne: Poll
It is important to know that the great tribulation does not end after the Rapture. it is transitioned into the lake of fire and the end of this wicked world.
Isa_13:11 And I charge evils to the entire world, and to the impious their sins; and I shall destroy the insolence of lawless ones; and I will abase the insolence of the proud.
The Final affliction for Israel ends with the Rapture. Therefore, the fact that GOD turned off the lights of the Heavenly elements, signals that the world effectively ended, and judgment day is at hand. It is expressed in the following statement. “And I charge evils to the entire world” Just the same as saying: “I declare judgment on the entire world!”
There is no going back to the normal state of the light-giving heavenly bodies. This is already a catastrophic situation seeing that the world will be in darkness as the statement of Ezekiel 32:8 declares: “and I will appoint darkness over your land”. The power plants of the world will be heavily taxed to retain some semblance of illumination. There is nothing left for GOD to do but transition what remains of this world into the “Lake of fire”
Rev_21:8 But to the timid ones, and unbelieving ones, and sinful ones, and ones being abhorrent, and murderers, and fornicators, and dealers in potions, and idolaters, and to all the liars, their part is in the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
There are many verses in the Bible that theologian considers to be future promises of GOD to Israel. But these are in fact post Rapture converses. GOD is talking to the rescued of Israel right there in Zion. Time and space only permit me to mention a few.
Isa_51:11 and the ones being ransomed? For by the LORD they shall be returned, and shall come unto Zion with gladness, and an everlasting leap for joy. For upon their head praise and gladness shall overtake them. Grief and distress and moaning ran away Eze_39:22 And the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God, from this day and beyond.
Israel will be filled with gladness in their land---Zion!; which is the entire recreated Heavens and earth. The sinners were annihilated and Israel will no longer face distress. They will recognize their SAVIOUR the LORD and HE will explain their Final Affliction to them.
This day and beyond is in the present to future tense. Therefore, GOD is present with Israel in Zion.
Eze_39:28 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God in my appearing to them among the nations, in my gathering them upon their land. And I shall not abandon them any more -- not one there.
Earlier Israel was on the verge of annihilation. How could they not know? Now GOD is appearing to them after gathering them upon their land--Zion. I believe this is JESUS appearing in their likeness.
Listen to GOD explaining to Israel their affliction amidst the calamity they faced before the Rapture. This is a post-Rapture converse. HE demonstrate HIS might and excellency in Israel's affliction and eventual rescue.
Isa_51:12-13 I am, I am he, the one comforting you. Know who is being! that you should be fearful from mortal man, and from a son of man -- the ones who as grass were dried up. And you forgot God, the one making you, the one making the heaven, and laying the foundation for the earth. And fear continually all the days in front of the rage of the one afflicting you! in which manner he planned to carry you away. And now where is the rage of the one afflicting you?
This is GOD present with Israel. It is not a future promise. It is part assurance and part rebuke of Israel. Here GOD is acknowledging to them that HE is the GREAT I AM. They should know that HE is the ONE creating them. HE reminds them that HE is the ONE creating the Heavens and the earth. Despite this knowledge, they were so fearful of mortal men. They earned the rebuke of GOD. But we can understand the fright and consternation within the camps of Israel before the Rapture. The Gentiles would be crazy mad because they wood have witnessed the Rapture of the dead earlier. But here GOD is telling Israel, that the affliction is through which HE brings (Rapture or rescue) them to HIMSELF. “in which manner he planned to carry you away”
The following verse clearly shows that Israel will only seek after the LORD with all their heart and soul in their affliction
Deu_4:29 And you shall seek after there the LORD your God, and you shall find him whenever you should seek after him with your entire heart, and with your entire soul in your affliction. Hos_6:1 In their affliction they will rise early to me, saying, We should go and return to the LORD our God, for he snatched us away, and he will heal us. He shall strike, and he shall dress our wounds.
That is the only time Israel will seek after GOD. That is why affliction and particularly the Final Tribulation is such an important doctrine.
A lot of people read this verse and believe it is talking about the middle eastern country called Israel. But we learned something else. It is the condition of the mind of Israelites at that time. We read: Assuredly, on that day there will be a great quake upon the land of Israel.
Eze 38:19 And my zeal in fire of my anger I spoke. Assuredly, in that day there will be a great quake upon the land of Israel.
There are two reasons why this could not be the piece of real estate over in the middle east. First the people or land of Israel is a people. Never a geographical land. Secondly, the term Quake here is not talking to an earthquake. It means terror of fright! When the nations come against Israel there will be utter terror and fright among them.

Affliction is paramount to Eternal life. This is the one great takeaway from this lesson. Being afflicted is the way of Salvation for Israel.
Mat 7:14 For narrow is the gate, and being afflicted is the way, the one leading unto the life, and few are the ones finding it.
On the other side of the coin, many of Israel's things that are part of a physical covenant makes them party to its conclusion. That’s not true as JESUS explains:
Mat 7:13 Enter through the narrow gate! for spacious is the gate, and broad is the way leading unto the destruction, and many are the ones entering through it.
Most Israelites when faced with affliction will turn their back. JESUS explains below that when many hear the gospel of affliction, they have no root. They are temporary. Affliction will test their resolve (Faith) seriously. They will stumble and fall back from the straited way. These are the negroes that JESUS spoke of in Mat 24:10
Mar_4:17 and they do not have root in themselves, but are temporary; then when affliction happens or persecution because of the word, immediately they are caused to stumble
This verse indicates that not all Israel will be delivered. Most will die the death of the Gentiles. They would have sought the “broad way leading unto the destruction.”
But for those who seek the straited way, the future is glorious:
1Co 2:9 But as it has been written, That which eye saw not, and ear heard not, and into the heart of man ascended not, which God prepared to the ones loving him.
King Solomon of Israel was an evil, unsaved man. This world focuses on great men and women. They need heroes to serve and glorify themselves with. Throughout the ages, many of these heroes have cropped up on the world stage. But once glorious heroes of the nation are now dead forever. Men like Winston Churchill; Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington; Mother Theresa; Alexander the Great; Adolph Hitler, etc. Their only existence is in the mind of the people who worship them. The ones who have dominion over the nations are regarded as benefactors or heroes to them. But the LORD GOD said it should not be so with Israel.
Luk 22:24 And there became also a rivalry among them, the one -- which of them seems to be greater. Luk 22:25 And he said to them, The kings of the nations dominate them, and the ones exercising authority over them are called benefactors. Luk 22:26 But among you not so; but the greater among you, let him be as the younger, and the one leading, as the one serving!
The Bible teaches that the worth of a man is not his physical worldly status but his relationship to the GOD of the Bible. His eternal status is determined by whether that man serves the GOD of the Bible and is given Salvation or not.
This brings us to the case of King Solomon of Israel. Apart from his father David he may be the most renowned Biblical character. In secular sources, he has been revered for building the temple in Jerusalem, one of the greatest archeological wonders of ancient times. He ruled over an extensive empire. GOD gave him great wisdom and understanding, wealth, and glory. Under his reign, the kingdom of Israel made great economic and military strides. And at the peak of Solomon’s reign, the nation was at its most prosperous. But despite all his accomplishments, the Bible showed that Solomon led the nation of Israel into idolatry and wickedness.
Today people make out Solomon into something different than what the Bible says about him. Many Hebrew Israelites noted that Solomon had 1000 wives and got away with it. Therefore many of them today think they can have multiple wives or concubines also. Therefore, this post will show that those who think they can emulate Solomon will only do so at their peril.
In the Quran, Solomon is considered a major prophet, and Muslims generally refer to him by the Arabic language as Suleman, son of David. He is often associated with wisdom; “as wise as Solomon”. Verses in the Bible attest to the fact that GOD gave him great wisdom, understanding, and wealth that would far exceed those kings of his times. The Bible says of King Solomon:
(1Ki_10:23) And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in riches and intellect. (1Ki_4:34) And all the peoples came to him to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And he took gifts from all the kings of the earth, as many as heard his wisdom.
But despite all the favors GOD bestowed on Solomon, he had precipitous decent. The Bible shows that his fall was because of sins he committed during his reign.
(1Ki_11:6) And Solomon did evil before the LORD, and did not go after the LORD as David his father. (1Ki 11:33) because he abandoned me, and offered unto Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh the idol of Moab, and to Milcom the loathsome thing of the sons of Ammon. And he did not go in my ways to do the upright thing before me, and my orders, and my ordinances, as David his father did.
The Bible shows that king Solomon of Israel worshipped other gods and idols. Solomon marries gentile women and forms political and social alignments with gentile nations. Solomon was fond of having many wives.
(1Kings 11:1) And king Solomon was fond of women, and he took alien wives, and the daughter of Pharaoh, and Moabitish, and Ammonitish, and Edomites, and Sidonians, and Hittites. (1Ki_11:4) And it came to pass in a time of old age of Solomon, his wives turned aside his heart after other gods. And his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
This is a sad testimony to the fact that Solomon’s behavior never conformed to the will of GOD. He even considered murder. He lashed out at GOD by trying to murder Jeroboam.
(1Ki_11:40) Solomon sought to put Jeroboam to death. And he rose up, and ran away unto Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt. And he was in Egypt until Solomon died.
We have concrete evidence from the Bible that GOD did not save Solomon. He was not given eternal life but died in his sins. We can use the scriptures to point out the difference between him and his father David who was a saved man.
(2Sa 12:13) And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, And the LORD cast aside your sin, and you shall not die.
The backdrop to this story goes like this: King David had succumbed to lust and invited a very attractive woman into his home. He had an adulterous affair and she became pregnant. To cover up this sin, David plotted the murder of her husband. He thought he was ok, and these things were covered up and nobody would be the wiser. David was wrong Because GOD knows everything. GOD sent an emissary, Nathan the prophet to confront him and Nathan pointed the finger at David. We know that David died thousand of years ago. Yet Nathan assured King David that he would not die. We shall see later what GOD is implying when HE said David would not die.
We can compare David's situation with the first man Adam, whom GOD gave the following commandment.
(Gen_2:17) but from the tree of the knowing good and evil, you shall not eat from it; but in whatever day you should eat from it, to death you shall die.
But Adam did disobey GOD and ate from the forbidden tree. We know that even though he did not die immediately he eventually died when he was 930 years old.
GOD told David that he shall not die, but but King David died in 971BC. Both men sinned. GOD told Adam he would die and he eventually did. Yet HE told David that he would not die, yet he did. However, the author of this statement (GOD) is not making an error. HIS words is absolutely infallible. and HE cannot make errors.
The key to this apparent contradiction can be found elsewhere by comparing other scriptures. The phrases are “you shall not die” in the case of king David and “to death you shall die” in the case of Adam. They are both expressed within the following verses.
(Eze_18:21) And the lawless one, if he should turn from all his lawless deeds which he did, and should keep all my commandments, and should do equity and righteousness and mercy; to life he shall live, and he shall not die
The above scripture not only expands on the terms but introduce two opposing phrases, “to life he shall live” and “he shall not die”
(Joh_5:24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (Joh_10:28) And I give to them eternal life, and in no way shall they perish into the eon; and not shall any seize them by force from out of my hand.
The Author, GOD declared to David in (2Sa 12:13) “you shall not die”. GOD has “cast away”, or remitted David’s sins. Just like the subjects in (Joh_5:24) David’s physical body may be deposited in a grave somewhere, when he died but he was ”passed from death unto life” This is synonymous with the term “eternal life” in (Joh_10:28)
The situation with Adam in (Gen_2:17) is quite the opposite. When he died, his physical body would also be put in a grave somewhere. Because of his disobedience, he should not “live to life” His death was to death(completion) he ”would die to death/not have eternal life” Therefore the Bible states that Adam was an unsaved man, but King David was a saved man.
We see that Solomon case matches that of Adam above. This was the exact opposite of his father David. GOD said the following referencing, Solomon.
(1Ki 3:14) And if you should have gone in my way, to guard my commandments, and my orders, as David your father went, then I will prolong your days.
The phrases, "eternal life" and "life eternal" are found in the New Testament 30-45 times. In the Old Testament, the terms used are synonymous with other phrases such as: long life; length of days; length of existence; duration of days; life into the eon; prolong days) For example:
(Pro_3:1-2) O son, forget not my laws, and give heed to my sayings in your heart!. For the length of existence, and years of life and peace shall be added to you.
For Solomon having prolonged days would be conditional on him obeying GOD’s commandments as his father David did. We saw that he did not. He turned away from GOD and worshiped false gods; Served sacrifices outside of the Jerusalem temple; married non-Israelite women; Married 1000 women; he even tried murder when GOD repoved him. Solomon never met the conditions that GOD offered. He did not obey GOD’s commandments as his father David did. Solomon died in his sins. He did not receive prolonged or everlasting nor eternal life. Solomon would have died in his sins as following verse shows.
(Eze 18:24) But in the turning the just from his righteousness, and he should commit iniquity, according to all the iniquities which the lawless one did; if he should do thus, he shall not live. In all the things of his righteousness, which he did, in no way shall they be remembered; in his transgression in which he fell, and in his sins in which he sinned, in them he shall die.
If Solomon died an unsaved man, then that poses some apparent contradiction. For example:
This idea emanates from the following verse:
(2Sa 12:24-25) And David comforted his wife Bath-sheba. And he entered to her, and went to bed with her, and she conceived, and gave birth to a son, and called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him. And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and called his name Jedidiah, by the word of the LORD.
Let us examine the word love carefully. It is the Greek G25(agapaō) in the dictionary.
When you examine the word in context, the best example of use could only be “to welcome”.
Here is the context-- king David, Solomon’s father had committed adultery Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba. She became pregnant. David subsequently had Uriah murdered. GOD struck the male child that Bathsheba bore, and he died seven days later, as foretold by Nathan the prophet. David's next child with Bathsheba was named Solomon. GOD killed the first child, but God accepted Solomon. He didn’t kill him as David might have expected
This would be a pertinent verse that most people used.
(1Ki_3:3) And Solomon loved the LORD, to go in the orders of David his father; only he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
Same Greek number G25 (agapaō). Solomon had respect to GOD or Solomon entertain GOD, or Solomon welcomed GOD in respect to going in the orders of his father David. What was David's order? It was building this great magnificent temple.
1Ch_28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and manly, and act! Do not fear nor be terrified! for the LORD my God is with you. He will not send you away, and in no way will he abandon you until you complete every ministration of work of the house of the LORD
Same word G25(agapaō) used here. The context would demand either the use of the phrases: “to be fond of” or “to love dearly”. But Solomon didn’t love GOD, or he would have kept HIS commandments!
Was Solomon a Bonafide prophet, like Moses, David, Jerimiah, Daniel, Samuel, Ezekiel? To answer that question, we have to define a prophet in terms of GOD’s relationship with them and the people of Israel. A prophet is someone that gets a message from the GOD of Israel to the people of Israel.
(Num_12:6) And he said to them, Hear my words. If there should be a prophet among you to the LORD, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep I will speak to him
GOD gave the prophets his Words. They are not the prophet's words. He only penned them or speak them to Israel. That said we can argue successfully that Solomon is a bona fide prophet. We have reasonable certainty that he is the author of most of the Proverbs, The Songs of Solomon, and Ecclesiastics. But not so fast. Remember what we mentioned above that the prophet takes the word of GOD? It is clear from the verses below that, GOD is the author of these above-mentioned books of the Bible and NOT Solomon. In this respect, he is a prophet like Jerimiah Ezekiel, Daniel, Isiah, etc.
But there are a couple of other prophets that Solomon warrants comparison with, for example, Balaam. He considered taking a bribe to curse Israel. A narrative in Numbers chapters 22, 23, and 24. Relates how GOD can put HIS word in the mouth of a non-Israelite prophet. A Moabite king Balak hired a soothsayer Balaam to curse Israel with the hope of overcoming them. But GOD confronted him and gave a blessing for Israel.
Num 23:5 And God put a word into the mouth of Balaam, and he said, Turning towards Balak thus you shall speak. Num 23:11 And Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? For a curse for my enemies I have called you, and behold, you have blessed a blessing. Num 23:12 And Balaam said to Balak, Is it not as many things as God should put in my mouth this I will guard to speak?
Therefore, the words that Balaam spoke, GOD instructed him to do. The Bible called Balaam a prophet. An evil unsaved one, nonetheless. When the LORD speak who can help but a prophecy. In that sense, there are no fundamental difference between king Solomon of Israel and Balaam because both are evil unsaved man.
Was Paul Apostle to the Gentiles or Israel? According to the Christian teaching and secular tradition, the Apostle Paul ministered to Gentile people. They will even point to verses such as (Gal_1:2) to substantiate these claims. But there is big problem with this idea. The Bible is consistent with the fact that all the Apostles, including Paul, ministered to the people of Israel only. But let us focus on the following verse.
Gal 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
If you searched Google for Galatians, you would get the following result:
'Gauls') were a Celtic people dwelling in Galatia, a region of central Anatolia surrounding present-day Ankara, during the Hellenistic period. They spoke the Galatian language, which was closely related to Gaulish, a contemporary Celtic language spoken in Gaul.
Thayer Definition Galatia = “land of the Galli, Gauls”
"The Roman province of Galatia may be roughly described as the central region of the peninsula of Asia Minor. It is bounded on the north by Bithynia and Paphlagonia; on the east by Pontus; the south by Cappadocia and Lycaonia; on the west by Phrygia"
For the record, both sources concur. No surprise here because the “Thayer definition” is of man-made origin. They get their information from secular sources, and not from the Bible. The Bible however will show that the Apostle Paul ministered to Israel, not the Gentiles.
A good place to start is the place where we first encounter these Galatians
(1Co_16:1) But concerning the collection, the one for the holy ones, as I set in order to the assemblies of Galatia, so also you do!
Here Paul is giving instructions to the Corinthians to take up a collection to send to the Israelites in Jerusalem as he had previously done in the assemblies of Galatia. We should examine every word in the this verse. For example, what does the term “Holy ones” refer to. The read the following:
(Psa 83:2) For behold, your enemies sounded, and the ones detesting you lift their head. (Psa 83:3) Against your people they deal treacherously in design, and consult against your holy ones.
Therefore, in Psa 83:2-3 GOD defines the “Holy ones” as the people of GOD. We know that GOD's people are called Israel. Here Speaking of The GOD of Israel the Psalmist declares that the gentiles deal treacherously with “HIS” people. Simply put we have precedent that GOD is referring to the Sons of Israel as the holy ones in (1Co_16:1)
The next word we should pay attention to is “the assemblies”. Sometimes the word "assemblies" can be used in both the plural and singular. For example:
(1Co_16:19) Greet the assemblies(G1577) of Asia! Aquila and Priscilla Greet you much in the Lord, with the assembly(G1577) in their house.
This shows that there were several assemblies in Asia. Asia is a large area comprising many different jurisdictions and would comprise many assemblies. It is singular in the case of Aquila and Priscilla and “the single assembly in their house”
Invariably, in the Old Testament the word rendered as (G1577) a singular word. It is unique to Israel assembling to the LORD. They never called several assemblies to the LORD. They never assembled in many places to the LORD. Therefore, whenever an assembly met they do so unto GOD.
Thayer Definition: Assembly(G1577)
1) a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place, an assembly
1a) an assembly of the people convened at the public place of the council for the purpose of deliberating
1b) the assembly of the Israelites
Therefore, “assembly” in the Bible is exclusive to Israelites. Most translations, except for a few don’t pick up on the normal use of the word. For example, the FCAB translation is the most accurate.
(Gal 1:2) And all the brethren who are with me, to the assembly that is in Galatia. (FCAB)
This makes it clear that the reference is about an assembly of Israelites in the country of Galatia.
Let us continue to break down the words. This time it is “brethren” in Gal 1:2
(Gal 1:2) And all the brethren who are with me, to the assembly that is in Galatia. (FCAB)
Pay particular attention this time to the word “Brethren” It also appears in other verses for example:
(Act_7:2) And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken! The God of glory appeared to our father
Stephen is an Israelite and addresses his listeners as “brethren”. Since he is a son of Israel, he, therefore, addresses his fellow Israelites as brethren. In another example, we read.
(Act_7:26) And the following day he appeared to ones doing combat, and he forced them to peace, having said, Men, you are brethren, why wrong one another?
Here Stephen is recounting an incident with Moses (A son of Israel) trying to make peace between two warring Israelites. He tells them they are all Israelites and shouldn’t be warring against each other. Therefore, if this verse (Gal 1:2) should be read in context, then Paul could only have been referring to the Israelites. NOT Gentiles
Let us examine another message from the Apostle Paul. We will show that it can only be relevant to the people of Israel.
(Gal 3:1) O unthinking Galatians, who charmed you, to not yield to the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was written about beforehand, being crucified among you?
You should ask yourself: What are the things of JESUS CHRIST been written about? Also, you need to ask where they would have read these things. It is the Bible and most specific the Torah, Psalms, and prophets.
Gentiles would be ignorant of all these things. They don’t have the Torah, Psalms, and Prophets. Therefore, it would be ridiculous for Paul to accuse the gentiles of ignorance. Imagine how befuddled they would be, being called “senseless”, “unwise”, “stupid”, “lacking” How can they be stupid for not knowing the information they were never taught.
Contrast that to Israel who would have known all these things referred to in the verse. In this context, Paul was referring to the crucifixion of CHRIST.
Let’s look at an earlier case of unbelief among Israel. In (Luke 24:25-27) we have LORD JESUS CHRIST chiding the sons of Israel for being unthinking and slow of heart. They failed to understand the things written about HIM in the Old Testament.
(Luk 24:25-27) And he said to them, O unthinking ones and slow in heart to trust upon all which the prophets spoke. Is it not necessary the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning from Moses, and from all of the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
This is the same language Paul used in remonstrating with the Israelites living in Galatia. It is their lack of understanding of the Torah. The following Old Testament prophecies would have prompted their memory.
Isaiah 53:7 "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." (Psalm 22:17-18) "I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing." Psalm 22:1-2 "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not silent."
Therefore, since these things are exclusive to the sons of Israel, then Paul could only be referring to the sons of Israel in (Gal 3:1) NOT Gentiles.
The fact is that the Bible has been corrupted to give false narratives. The truth is that Paul and the other Apostles taught among their Israelites brothers who were living in other lands. They were emigrants or exiles from particularly the Northern kingdoms. We know that is so by comparing scriptural documents against others. I have noticed that all translations are consistent in their reference to the Galatians as (unthinking, foolish, senseless, stupid, lacking). These terms are portraying the same meaning in the context of Paul’s reproof. But some translations including (HRB) are different.
(Gal 3:1) O you lacking exile Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, to whom before your eyes Yahshua Messiah was written before among you crucified? (HRB Hebraic Roots Bible)
The adjective “exile” was part of the original document. These omissions were used to change the narratives. For example, today many so-called Africans are emigrating for economic reasons to European, Asian, and American lands. Living in these lands did not change their nationalities. They are still so-called Africans. They have now exiled Africans in Europe, Asia and America.
Same way, the Hebraic Root Bible shows that Israel was a minority community of Israelites in Galatia.
The fact that the Hebraic Root Bible includes the adjective “Exile” is further vindicated by other Bible verses. For example, we read the following:
(1Pe_1:1) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen immigrants of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Note: These places and regions are now located in the present-day country of Turkey
The Apostle Peter sends a message to several places outside of Jerusalem, Samaria and Galilee. These are the places where one would normally expect to see Israelites living. The message goes out to Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. Did you notice Galatia in there? Yes, the same Galatians whom Paul called “unthinking”. Also, importantly the people who are referenced in these lands are called immigrants. “to the chosen immigrants” Therefore, “Immigrants” in (1Pe_1:1) and “exiles” in (Gal 3:1) are the same meaning. It is the dispersion of Israel into foreign lands.
Then Peter continues to make the connection of JESUS CHRIST to these people:
(1Pe 1:7-8) that the proving of the belief of yours (much more esteemed than gold that perishes) even being tried through fire, should be found in high praise, and glory, and honor, in revelation of Jesus Christ. Whom not having seen, you love; in whom now not looking on, but believing, you exult with joy unspeakable, and glorifying;
Peter’s message to these immigrants suggests they were not privy to the incidents that had occurred in Jerusalem years or months earlier, concerning CHRIST JESUS. Centuries earlire, they were forced to flee to other lands because of the Assyrians. Many migrated for economic reasons.
Through the efforts of Peter and others, they now know of CHRIST and are obedient to the gospel of the “good news” that GOD promised them in the Old Testament.
(1Pe 1:10) Concerning which deliverance the prophets sought and searched out, the ones prophesying concerning the favor towards you; (1Pe 1:11) searching in what, or of what kind of time spirit of Christ was manifest in them ,testifying beforehand the sufferings in Christ, and the glories after these things
These are the things that the Old Testament prophets sought out and left records of the suffering of CHRIST and the Glory after these things
(1Pe 1:12) to whom it was revealed that, it was not to themselves, but to us they were serving up those things, which now were announced to you by the ones announcing good news to you in holy spirit sent from heaven, in which angels desire to lean over to see.
In the verse, Peter the congregants as “us”. Who are the “Us in this context”? They are Israel or more specifically those of the dispersed Northern Kingdom Israelites. We have the clarification in the following verse:
(Jas 1:1) James, bondman of God and the Lord Jesus Christ,, to the twelve tribes, to the ones in the dispersion, Hail!
The Apostle Paul ministered to Israel not to the Gentiles. These verses make it quite clear that Paul, Peter, and James' ministry were to the dispersed of Israel. the twelve tribes (mainly Northern Kingdom Israelites) scattered abroad. NOT gentiles
here we find absolute proof that the people who believe that the Galatians Paul referred to are Celtic people are dead wrong and the Word of GOD found them, liars. Because they deduce this myth from out of the lying words of man. The next question is why not many Israel Inhabits this place anymore. This is a point that is quite controversial among Israel and even the gentiles alike.
There has always been large colonies of Israelites in these present-day gentile land. Some sources estimated that the number of the Israelite immigrant population was at least 8-10%.
A large number of Israel has been migrating from Israel before, during, and after the Assyrian takeover. Some would take the way by land Syria(Aram). Some would proceed to present-day Turkey, through Macedonia, Greece than some to Rome and some as far as Spain (all documented in the Bible). The fact is there are very few of them in these lands today. So, what happened to them? The Bible has the answers.
(Deut 28:25) May the LORD appoint you for slaughter before your enemies. In one way you shall go forth against them, and in seven ways you shall flee from their face. And you will be in dispersion among all kingdoms of the earth. But below it will say it more succinctly. (Deu 4:27) And LORD JEHOVAH shall scatter you among the nations and you shall be left few in number among the nations when LORD JEHOVAH your God will scatter you there.
So the LORD said it and it happen. But if the LORD made them few until they practically disappeared, then GOD must have used some mechanism to destroy them from off these lands. HE did it with the gentiles (their enemies)
But how did the gentiles accomplish this??? Check out my Youtube Video. How the European Gentiles destroyed The Israel of GOD You may prepare for this lesson by googling murder, genocide, and miscegenation.
CHRIST coming is good news for Israel only END TIME POLITICS
Edom is not the White man but all unsaved people of the world are. Many in the so-called black community think Esau is the Whiteman. This may have come from the influence of the Hebrew Israelite community. Bible scholars approach the Bible as they would any man-made book. But we know of Esau through the Bible. Therefore, any investigation of his identity must come through the Biblical text and nowhere else. The bible says the following of Esau:
Mal_1:3 And Esau I detested, and I ordered up his borders for extinction, and his inheritance for domiciles of the wilderness.
This is the language of judgment. Apart from the flood of Noah’s days, there is only one other time that GOD reserves mankind for mass annihilation. It is noticeably clear here that GOD is reserving judgment for a part of mankind whom HE typifies as Esau/Edom. HE hates Esau and has destined his future existence as extinction.
The language of (Rev 13:16) is that of the last days. Because we read the following.
Rev_13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Here we have references to beasts. but the ultimate entity is Satan. He causes all of mankind to receive his mark. They all determinately belong to him. But we notice how everyone is covered: both small and great, rich, and poor, free and bond.
Let us back up a little to point out something that you may have missed. Let us compare Rev_13:14 between the KJV version and that of a Septuagint translation.
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (King James Bible)
This serves to deceive you by saying Satan deceives the World in general. But the Septuagint translation says the opposite.
Rev_13:14 And he misleads the ones of mine, of the ones dwelling upon the earth, by the signs which were given to him to do before the beast, saying to the ones dwelling upon the earth to make an image to the beast which had the wound of the sword, and lived. (Septuagint)
You would have missed the fact that GOD said Satan even mislead “HIS people”. Who exactly is GOD’s people? HIS people are the people of Israel whom HE secured a covenant. GOD oversees all Israel, both the good, bad, and indifferent. Israel are collectively called Children of the kingdom. Of course, the bad ones will have judgment levied against them as we read.
Mat_8:11-12 And I say to you, that many from east and west shall come, and shall be lain down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens. But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness; there, there shall be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Of course, those coming from the east and the west can only be the good ones of the children of the kingdom. Not Christians and Gentiles. Therefore, Satan will cause all, including some of the children of the kingdom to have the mark of the beast. Now we have clarity that Satan deceived all mankind including the people of Israel. Small, great, rich, poor, free, and bond.
Yes, there will be those considered slaves on Judgment day. Let us backtrack to Rev_13:16. Where we encountered the term “bond”. receiving a mark in their right hand, or their foreheads: These people determinately belong to Satan. But the term in this context can only refer to the people of Israel. Let us get more clarity from the Thayer dictionary.
Thayer Definition:
1) a slave, bondman, man of servile condition
1a) a slave
1b) metaphorically, one who gives himself up to another’s will those whose service is used by Christ in extending and advancing his cause among men
1c) devoted to another to the disregard of one’s own interests
2) a servant, attendant
Therefore to the people of Israel, you are slaves whether you agree or not. You live in subservience to your master the Gentiles. The LORD GOD of Israel considers you as slaves in this world. For this reason, HE should say the following:
Isa_14:3 And it will be in that day the LORD will rest you from the grief, and your rage, and your hard slavery of which you slaved for them. Eze_34:27 And the trees, the ones in the plain will yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength. And they shall dwell upon their land in a hope of peace. And they shall know that I am the LORD in my breaking the chain of their yoke; and I will rescue them from out of the hand of the ones reducing them to slavery.
Let us check out some statics concerning Israel scattered in the USA.
This reminds me of a famous negro. He once said the enslavement of African Americans over centuries may have been a "choice". and further suggested our enslavement or captivity is mental, He is a liar because the Bible states otherwise:
Jer_30:10 But you, do not fear! O my servant Jacob, says the LORD. And in no way should you be terrified, O Israel. For behold, I shall deliver you from a land far off, and your seed from a land of their captivity. And Jacob shall be returned, and he shall rest, and he shall abound in all the good things, and there shall not be one fearing.
If one is not in captivity, then there would be no need of rescued. Therefore Israel is in captivity until judgment day when GOD will rescue them.
From GOD’s perspective Edom is not the White man but typified by all unsaved people, including those of Israel HIS people. Let us visit the man Esau and his origins. This may reveal to us why GOD uses his behavior and nature to typify the entire unsaved humanity. He was first mentioned in Gen 25:25.
Gen_25:25 And came forth the first-born fiery red entirely, and of hairy skin. And she named his name Esau
It is apparent here that Rebecca named Esau after his rough and hairy disposition.
hairy H8181 = from H8175 in the sense of dishevelling; hair (as if tossed or bristling): - hair (-y), X rough.
The first word “Hairy” suggests something disheveling that feels rough to the touch or untidy look or coarse handling. Also wild and untamed.
The second word H6215 means hairy.
BDB Definition: Esau (H6215) =hairy
Apparently, a form of the passive participle of H6213 in the original sense of handling; rough (that is, sensibly felt); Esav, a son of Isaac, including his posterity: - Esau.H6215
Esau was naturally an outdoor man. He returned from a hunting trip famished.
Gen_25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste from this spicy stew for I fail; on account of this his name was called Edom. Gen_25:31 And Jacob said to Esau, Give to me today your rights as first-born. Gen_25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? Gen_25:33 And Jacob said to him, You swear by an oath to me today! And he swore by an oath to him. And Esau gave the rights of the first-born to Jacob. Gen_25:34 And Jacob gave to Esau bread and stew of lentils. And he ate and drank, and rising up he set out. And Esau treated as worthless the rights of the first-born.
Esau was renamed Edom because of his readiness to sell his birthright for the pottage of beans. The Bible describes Israel as Sons of the Kingdom. But these people prefer the mere pittance of this life to the eternal kingdom of GOD.
Esau would be familiar with the covenant GOD made with his grandfather Abraham. Which would pass down to him as the firstborn from his father Isaac. Consequently he would be familiar with GOD’s established salvation plan through CHRIST. His line would have been the beneficiary of CHRIST's salvation program. To possess the divine birthright and be part of this chosen seed was the greatest blessing anyone could imagine. Yet the Bible says of Esau:
Heb_12:16 lest there be any fornicator or profane person as Esau, who for one portion of food delivered over his rights of the first-born.
Thayer Definition: profane person (G952)
2a) unhallowed, common,
2b) of men, ungodly
Therefore, Esau is an ungodly man. The contemporary of all unsaved people.
The spirit of Esau is expressed in contemporary men. Some like to give the appearance of piety but will deny the power of GOD. Consequently, they care about earthly things: Pleasure, money, and themselves. They care not for the things of GOD. Salvation is useless to them. They live for today. They are demonic. Never get it twisted—we are in the last days! The character of man makes that evident.
2 Tim 3:1-5 But this know! that in the last days ill-tempered times will be present; for men will be fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, proud, blasphemous, resisting the persuasion of parents, ungracious, unholy, unaffectionate, hostile, devilish, immoderate, untamed, disliking good, betrayers, precipitous, being deluded, friends of pleasure rather than friends of God; having the appearance of piety, but denying its power. Even these turn away from!
Php_3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
But they are beast-like and care nothing about spiritual things. They only mind earthly things, and their GOD is their bellies. Consequently, the theory of evolution holds sway over mankind today.
Job_21:14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. Job_21:13 And they complete their existence with good things, and in the rest of Hades they go to sleep.
Therefore they live well in this present world; therefore, their existence ends in the grave. They will not exist into eternity.
For those enquiring about Edom, they make a serious error. They assume that Esau the person can be used interchangeably with Edom. Hence, they say Esau or Edom is the white man. The original Esau evolved into a nation –Edom--a place. This was not a light matter because GOD devoted an entire chapter (Gen 36:1-43) to enforce the point.
Gen_36:1 And these are the generations of Esau -- he is Edom.
The chapter relates that Esau took Canaanite/Hamite wives (other reasons he was estranged from his parents). His possessions became massive that the land could not accommodate him and his brother Jacob. He moved from the land of Canaan to mount Seir. Here GOD reminds the reader that Mount Seir is a place that represents Edom.
Gen_36:8 And Esau dwelt in the mountain of Seir. Esau, he is Edom.
In verse 9 GOD relates the generations of Esau and makes the connection to Edom the place.
Gen 36:9 And these are the generations of Esau, father of Edom in the mountain of Seir.
Gen 36:17 And these were the sons of Reuel, son of Esau -- prince Nahath, prince Zerah, prince Shammah, prince Mizzah. These were the princes of Reuel in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Bashemath, wife of Esau.
Gen 36:19 These were the sons of Esau. And these were their princes. These are sons of Edom.
Therefore, all of this is Edom. Therefore, Esau is the father/originator of the place Edom.
Gen 36:43 prince Magdiel, prince Zaphoi. These are the princes of Edom, in the buildings in the land of their property. This is Esau, father of Edom.
Esau the man is transformed into the place called Edom. He who chose this life rather than the kingdom of GOD
One can argue that so far GOD does not explicitly state that Edom is not the White man as many people would like to think. But there are places in the Bible where GOD categorically states that Edom is the entire unsaved world. For example.
Eze_36:5 On account of this, thus says the Lord the LORD; Assuredly by fire of my rage I spoke against the remaining nations, and against all Edom; for they gave my land to themselves for a possession with gladness, dishonoring lives, to obliterate in plunder.
except for the ransomed of Israel, the entire unsaved world is Edom. Also, If these Hebrew Israelites want to think that Edom is the White man, then we must assume that the Chinese and Indians, etc. are not Edom. That belief would render all these people safe from judgment. But the Bible says that all Edom (the unsaved world) will be judged and annihilated.
Eze_35:15 As you were glad in the inheritance of the house of Israel, that it was obliterated, thus I shall do you. For you will be a wilderness, O mount Seir, and all Edom shall be completely consumed. And you shall know that I am the LORD God.
The Bible declare that the unsaved man is typified in Edom. His distruction is sure.
Oba_1:10 Because of the slaughter and the impiety against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be removed into the eon. Seir, and all Edom shall be completely consumed. And you shall know that I am the LORD God. Eze_35:9 I will establish you an eternal desolation, and your cities no way shall be inhabited any longer. And you shall know that I am the LORD.
Sinners are never interned in Hell but annihilated Proof America is Babylon of the Bible
CHRIST coming is good news for Israel only. Christianity today makes up 32% of all religions in the world. It is the religion of the Western societies that run this world. Their claim to fame is centered on an erroneous and baseless idea that JESUS provided salvation for them when HE died on the cross.
But that is not true. The Bible in many places declares that salvation is offered to Israel alone, not Gentile Christians. Wherefore, it is written.
Act_5:31 This one -- God, chief and deliverer, exalted by his right hand, to give repentance to Israel and release of sins.
Israel in the Bible is defined as descendants of a man called Jacob who was born in 2007BCE. He was later renamed Israel by GOD. They are from the lineage of Jacob. Israel is therefore a race of people. They are not an ethnic or religious grouping. Therefore, anyone believing that there is repentance and release of sins for anyone else is deluding themselves. Since there is no relief from the effects of their sins, all will stand in judgment. Whether they are Christians or any other religion.

Since there is no relief from the effects of their sins, all will stand in judgment. Whether they are Christians or any other religion.
Romans/Christians commandeered the original document that the GOD of Israel gave HIS people and corrupted it into their doctrine. They point to many verses to support their claims of replacing Israel as the heir of salvation. All are lies and easily debunked by the original Bible documents.
Today we will shine a light on two prominent ones that read as follows. They are taken from the King James Version of the Bible.
(Luk 2:14) Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:32) A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
By these, they are claiming that YESHUA’s coming was a enlighten the Gentiles and provide Salvation for them. Consequently, CHRIST would have died for the sins of Gentiles also. This is the obvious reasoning behind the false translation. But if that was the case the following verse would have been rendered invalid. Because we read.
Act_5:31 This one -- God, chief and deliverer, exalted by his right hand, to give repentance to Israel and release of sins.
Alas! Nothing could be further from the truth. The Good News for Israel was bad news for gentiles.
Israel is the only group of people that has a tradition of a Savior, MESSIAH. No other nation or people has one. It is written in many parts of the Old Testament. The fact is that Israel’s Savior was expected to rescue Israel from the Gentiles. It is not the other way around.
Since their existence as a nation, they have experienced nothing but affliction and troubles, soon after entering Egypt they were enslaved. This has continued over three millenniums. Except for a few hundred years of the kingdom of David and Solomon, life has gone downhill ever since. Israel’s history has been replete with oppression, abuse, slavery, and colonization
Therefore, CHRIST’s coming Is a realization of numerous Old Testament promises of rescue and help to Israel. This is the reason this was regarded as the “Good News”. This is what they have been expecting for so long. It is a testimony to GOD’s dependability. HE said HE would do it and it was realized in CHRIST's birth.
By the way, you may not have noticed that the term Good News does not appear in the KJV translation. Other translations such as the Septuagint use the term, but the KJV Bible substitutes it with “Gospel”. Let us take a walk back to the Old Testament so we can have some perspective on the fact of Salvation for Israel only. We read the following passage:
(Isa 49:26) the ones afflicting you shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be intoxicated. And all flesh shall perceive that I am the LORD, the one rescuing you, and assisting the strength of Jacob.
Rome and Christians were not around at the time of Isaiah, therefore this is about the Sons of Jacob (Israel). Let us take another example.
(Mic_4:10) Travail, and take courage, O daughter of Zion, as the one giving birth! For now you shall come forth from the city, and shall encamp in the plain, and shall come unto Babylon. From there he shall rescue you, and from there he shall ransom you, the LORD your God, from the hand of your enemies.
It is all summed up into the “Good News” for Israel in CHRIST’s coming. These promises and the countless others are so plain that the only thing the Roman/Christian gentile can do is to claim that these promises are realized in the Christian gospel.
Let us take a serious look at that key verse of (Luke 2:32).
(Luke 2:32) A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
To get context, a particularly good place to start is at verse 10. There we read the following:
(Luke 2:10) And the angel said to them, Fear not! for behold I announce to you good news –great joy which shall be to all people (Luk 2:13-14) And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly military praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men
There are especially important principles whenever you study the Bible. You just do not read something in the Bible and accept it as true unless you test it with other words of the Bible. God’s Word is infallible, therefore there should never be any conflict. Man’s deceit is usually the root of the conflict whenever one is encountered.
For example, we read the prior verses (Isa 49:26), (Mic_4:10) , and other similar verses on one hand and compare them to (Luke 2:10) and (Luke 2:13-14). We see there is a strange dichotomy or conflict between the two sets of verses.
In (Isa 49:26) here GOD promises the Gentile will “eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine and shall be intoxicated”
By the way, that is for their afflicting Israel. How can that ever be a peaceful thing for Gentiles? Secondly, wherein that is the goodwill to men (them)? that appears in (Luke 2:13-14)
Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly military praising God, and saying, Luk 2:14 Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men with benevolence.
This quote is taken from the KJV translation. It is how we have always been taught this verse. The meaning the translators try to convey to the readers is clear. The coming of YESHUA is a sign, saying: “upon earth peace, Goodwill to the children of men. But comparing this verse in other translations, we have certainty that this is false. We will compare the BIB Berean Interlinear translation. This translation is comparable to KJV but except they didn’t go through a lot of editions (alteration)
(Luk 2:14) Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (KJV King James Version) (Luk 2:14) Glory in[the] highest to God, and earth peace among men with whom He is pleased! (BIB Berean Interlinear Bible)
This represents a 360-degree turnaround. This is plainly saying that YESHUA’s coming is peace (Salvation) to the men on the earth in whom GOD is pleased. Not all men. The full import is Israel. But not all of Israel satisfied this condition. The Bible shows elsewhere that many of Israel will not have peace (salvation)
Let us look at the DRB Douay Rheims Bible. This is a Bible translation of the Latin Vulgate into English. It was made by members of the English College, Douai, in the service of the Catholic Church.
(Luk 2:14) Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will. (DRB Douay Rheims Bible)
This conforms with the Berean translations confirming YESHUA’s coming is peace (salvation)to men of goodwill and not all men
Lastly, let us try a Septuagint translation.
(Luk 2:14) Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men with benevolence. (ABP Septuagint)
The phrase, men of benevolence here is used instead of the phrase used in the BIB translation, men with whom He is pleased! But each phrase has the same meaning.
Thayer Definition: benevolence (G2107)
1) will, choice
1a) good will, kindly intent, benevolence
2) delight, pleasure, satisfaction
3) desire
3a) for delight in any absent thing easily produces longing for it
This clarifies that JESUS coming was not salvation for all men but only to those of Israel whom it was reserved for.
Now we come to the main statement of this essay. On the way, we learned that the KJV translates to replace Israel with themselves, the Gentiles. So now we should be on guard for the same foolishness. We read the following:
(Luke 2:32) A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
This statement has two parts. because we notice the nations and Israel mentioned separately. The (gentiles) on one hand and the Gentiles on the other. We must examine this closely because it appears to be saying something good about the nations (Gentiles). It uses the verbs “light” and “lighten” in respect to the Gentiles.
But on the other hand, we see GOD uses the word “glory” for Israel. HE even reiterates that Israel is HIS people. GOD made CHRIST the glory of HIS people Israel and HIS coming the good news for them only
For Israel, we have “glory”. We must examine how the word “Glory” is used in this context.
Thayer Definition: Glory G1391
3) splendor, brightness
3b) magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace
3c) majesty
3c1) a thing belonging to God
3c2) a thing belonging to Christ
3c2a) the kingly majesty of the Messiah
3c2b) the absolutely perfect inward or personal excellency of Christ; the majesty
4) a most glorious condition, most exalted state
we know that the subject is CHRIST and glory is referring to HIM and not Israel. HE is the glory of HIS people Israel. We know that he is glorious without measure. One does not even have to do a word study, because we know by instinct that this word could only be attributed to CHRIST. The word certainly connotes, excellency, Majesty, Heavenly. So we can say that CHRIST is the glory (a most glorious condition, most exalted state, splendor, brightness, magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace, majesty) of HIS people Israel. HE is our glory because it is through HIM, we are rescued from the Gentiles and receive our salvation.
Now let us look at the part about the gentiles. We read that “CHRIST is a light to lighten the Gentile”. Here we have two words that need our attention. The words' Light (G5457) and lighten(G602)
Thayer Definition: light(G5457)
1) light
1a1) emitted by a lamp
2) metaphorically
2c) that which is exposed to the view of all, openly, publicly
In this context, CHRIST is the torch or lamp (metaphorically (2c) that is exposed to the view of all, openly, publicly).
Thayer Definition: lighten(G602)
1) laying bear, making naked
2) a disclosure of truth, instruction
2a) concerning things before unknown
2b) used of events by which things or states or persons hitherto withdrawn from view are made visible to all
3) manifestation, appearance
Across all translations the words used are always: an uncovering, lighten or revelation, In Thayer the meanings are constant (1) laying bare, making naked, a disclosure of truth, instruction, concerning things before unknown (2b) used of events by which things or states or persons hitherto withdrawn from view are made visible to all (3) manifestation, appearance)
Therefore, CHRIST coming is a disclosure of the truth of the contents of the Gentiles' hearts of wickedness. The Gentiles would like to cover their evil deeds because man cannot see their hearts. Now their wickedness is laid bare and they are prepared for judgment as described in (Isa 49:26), (Mic_4:10) , and others. The Christian religion will not give them salvation. CHRIST coming is good news for Israel only
The myth of 10 Lost Tribes of Israel Proof America is Babylon of the Bible
Did Moses really wrote the Torah or JEDP? There is a deadly hypothesis denying that Moses wrote the Torah. It is widely taught in Christian Theological colleges today. It is the so-called Documentary (JEDP) hypotheses. This teaches that various anonymous authors compiled five books (plus other portions of the Old Testament). They claim that these authors compiled the Old Testament some 900 years later after Moses from centuries of oral tradition.
The people formulating these ideas were evolutionists. This was prevalent in philosophical circles at the time. They were implicitly atheistic in their thinking. And they wanted to rid the world of any thought of a Living GOD who created all things.
One of prominence was Julius Wellhausen (1844–1918), who restated the Documentary Hypothesis in terms of the evolutionary framework. He taught that Israel’s religion was simply the invention of man.
Importantly one must note evolution is a racist-based doctrine. Therefore, the JEDP hypothesis would have an element of racism included. They assumed that “the art of writing was virtually unknown during the time of Moses. Therefore, he could have left any written records. This claim is an attack on the intelligence of the ancient Israelites. Since the time the documentary hypothesis was first proposed, archaeologists have discovered scores of written records pre-dating the time of Moses. Why would Israel's ancient neighbors know how to write but Israel couldn’t?
But sadly today, most Israelites are the biggest proponents of the theory of evolution. Evolution argues away the existence of GOD. If GOD does not exist, then man doesn’t have to obey HIS Word. They prefer to have the freedom to do as much as they please because GOD’s yoke is too heavy for them.
There are “Smart Alex” and scoffers in academia who like to say that Moses didn’t write the Bible because of the wordings of two particular verses.
Deu 34:5 And Moses came to an end there, the servant of the LORD, in the land of Moab by the word of the LORD. Deu 34:6 And they entombed him in the land of Moab near the house of Peor. And not has any one known his burial place until this day.
But the Bible never attributes these verses to Moses. How could Moses make that statement if he was already dead? Even an idiot could see this is an addendum made by someone else, most likely Joshua.
The best argument against the “JEDP theory” is the Bible itself. There are scores of dozens of citations, but I will have to limit this study to just a few.
JESUS ascribe the Torah to Moses:
Mar 12:26 But concerning the dead, that they arise; did you not read in the book of Moses about the bush, as God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
JESUS is plainly saying that Moses wrote the account of the burning bush in Exodus 3:1-3.
The Apostle Peter credits Moses for Deuteronomy 18:15
in Acts 3:22, he comments on a passage in Deuteronomy 18:15 and credits Moses as being the author of that passage.
Act 3:22 For Moses indeed said to the fathers that, the Lord your God shall raise up a prophet unto you from your brethren, as me; him you shall hear according to all as much as he should speak to you.
The Apostle Paul attests that Moses wrote the law.
Rom 10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness, the one of the law, that, The man observing them shall live by them.
Paul, in Romans 10:5, talks about the righteousness Moses describes in Leviticus 18:5. Paul, therefore, testifies that Moses is the author of Leviticus.
Therefore, for the JEDP theory to be true, then Jesus, Peter, and Paul are liars. At best their understanding of the Old Testament is erroneous.
Some sections of the Torah do explicitly say they were written by Moses. For example Exodus 17:14; 24:4–7; 34:27; Numbers 33:2; Deuteronomy 31:9, 24.2 Kings 14:6; 2 Chronicles 25:4; Ezra 6:18;Neh 13:1; You can go back and read them but I will limit this study to the following ones.
Deu 31:22 And Moses wrote this ode in that day, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.
Therefore, Moses would have written this song and taught it to the children of Israel the same day.
Many other times, in the rest of the Old Testament, Moses is said to have been the writer, e.g. Joshua 1:7–8;
Jos 1:7 Be strong then and manly! to guard and to do in so far as I gave charge Moses my servant. And do not turn aside from them to the right or to the left! that you should perceive in all what ever you should act on
Jdg 3:4 And it happened so as to test Israel by them, to know if they will hearken to the commandments of the LORD which he gave charge to their fathers by the hand of Moses.
1Ki 2:3 And you shall guard the watch of the LORD your God, to go in his ways, to guard his commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses; that you should perceive all what you shall do, and everywhere of which ever you should have paid attention there.
Not only am I asserting that Moses wrote the Torah, but it is a fact that it came from the mouth of GOD. Just as the New Testament came from HIS inspiration. The various authors wrote them, but it was GOD breathed.
Neh 8:1 And the seventh month arrived, and the sons of Israel were in their cities. And all the people gathered together as one man into the wide place in front of the water gate. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the scroll of the law of Moses, which the LORD gave charge to Israel.
Dan 9:11 And all Israel violated your law, and turned aside to not hearken to your voice; and there came upon us the curse, and the oath, the one having been written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we sinned against him. Dan 9:12 And he established his words which he spoke against us, and against our judges, the ones judging us, to bring upon us great evils; such as have not taken place underneath all of the heaven, according to the things taking place in Jerusalem. Dan 9:13 As was written in the law of Moses, all these evils came upon us. And we did not beseech the face of the LORD our God, to turn from our iniquities, and to perceive in all truth.
We are told that GOD spoke to Moses. Then he transcribes the words from GOD’s mouth.
Num 12:6 And he said to them, Hear my words. If there should be a prophet among you to the LORD, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep I will speak to him. Num 12:7 Not so my attendant Moses; in my entire house he is trustworthy. Num 12:8 Mouth to mouth I will speak to him in sight, and not through enigmas; even he saw the glory of the LORD. And why were you not afraid to speak ill against my attendant Moses?
This also answers the stupid question. They argue that Moses couldn’t know of the incidents in Genesis. Therefore he couldn’t have written it. They fail to understand that GOD was there. Therefore HE was able to tell Moses about it.
All are consistent with the principles of Scripture documentation as enunciated in (2 Timothy 3:15–17 and 2 Peter 1:20–21).
2Ti 3:16 Every scripture is God inspired, and beneficial for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction-- the one in righteousness; 2Ti 3:17 that the man of God should be complete for accomplishing every good work.
2Pe 1:20 This first knowing, that every prophecy of scripture does not take place by private explanation. 2Pe 1:21 For not by will of man was prophecy borne at some time or other, but by holy spirit being borne the holy men of God spoke.
Therefore let us put our trust in the Word of GOD and not in the ridiculous and baseless JEDP theory.
What are Noah’s sons correct birth order? The Infallible Word of GOD
What are Noah's sons correct birth order? Although this study is titled Shem, Ham and Japheth, the correct birth order, this is not so much to prove the correct birth order of Noah’s three sons. The Bible already has them listed in the correct chronological order. But many extra-Biblical sources have them listed in different chronological orders. But The adage is true. If one is right, then one must be wrong. the real import is to show that the Bible is the only source of truth.
2_Timothy_3:16–17 Every scripture is God inspired, and beneficial for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction-- the one in righteousness; that the man of God should be complete for accomplishing every work good.
An especially important characteristic of Scripture is its infallibility and accuracy. The author of the Scriptures cannot declare anything that is contrary to fact. These extra-Biblical sources invariably says something different than what the Word of GOD declare. Therefore, we should trust what the Word of GOD declare.
We first heard these brothers mentioned together in five different places. Without any exception see that they all are listed in consecutive orders: That is, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. For examples:
• (Gen_5:32 ) And Noah was five hundred years and he procreated three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth • Gen_6:10 And Noah procreated three sons, Shem, Ham, Japheth. • Gen_7:13 In this day entered Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife of Noah, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark. • Gen_9:18 And these were the sons of Noah, the ones coming forth from the ark, Shem, Ham, Japheth. And Ham was father of Canaan. • Gen_10:1 And these (are) the generations of the sons of Noah -- Shem, Ham, Japheth. And were born to them sons after the flood.
But the following verse makes it even clearer that this is in chronological order: Obviously It start with the father Noah; Then we come to his first-born, Shem; then the second born Ham, and apparently, the baby Japheth.
• 1Ch_1:4 Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth.
We will examine a false chronology that claims the birth order to be, Shem, Japheth and Ham
I came upon this by watching a YouTube video. The narrator of the video brought to my attention a passage from the Zondervan Dictionary. The quote read like this: “Ham: the youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the flood, and one of the eight persons to live through the flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races, not the negroes, but the Egyptian, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites (Gen.10:6-20) His indecency when his father lay drunken brought a curse upon Canaan…”
This was I common theme running through much of the so-called Hebrew Israelite teaching forums. and website. But there are two problems with this quote. Firstly, Ham is NOT the youngest son of Noah. And secondly Ham was NOT the one who did anything inappropriate to their father. Thirdly this alleged indecency is just a product of man’s sick imagination.
But the Zondervan Dictionary is written by man. It may have stated correctly that the negroes are not Ham. But if they have three facts incorrect, how can you be assured that any part of the entire statement is reliable
It apparently, evolved from the following passages.
Gen 9:20 And Noah the man began to be a farmer of the land. And he planted a vineyard,
Apparently after the flood, Noah chose farming as his occupation and cultivated a vineyard
Gen 9:21 and drank from the wine, and became intoxicated, and became naked in his house.
One day Noah drank so much that he became drunk. At some point he b ecame unclothes in his house. No explanation was given in this verse for the reason why he is naked.
Gen 9:22 And Ham the father of Canaan looked at the nakedness of his father; and going forth, he announced it to his two brothers outside.
Apparently, Ham was first on the scene and noticed that his father Noah is drunk and naked. Ham should have covered his father nakedness, but he chose to delegate this to his other two brothers. A point of note here: GOD is confirming for the second time that Ham is the father of Canaan. It does not say here that Ham did anything inappropriate other than to neglect his fathers’ condition.
Gen 9:23 And Shem and Japheth taking the cloak, placed it upon their two backs, and went backwards, and they covered up the nakedness of their father; and their face was backwards, and they did not look at the nakedness of their father.
Therefore, Ham’s other two brother walked backwards with a cloak and cover up their father’s nakedness. Its hard to imagine this but GOD assures us that they did not see the nakedness of their father. But Ham did.
Gen 9:24 And Noah sobered up from the wine, and knew as much as his younger son did to him.
This is apparently the point when they made Ham the younger brother. People will point to this verse because here that read that Noah sobered up from his drunkenness. and he “knew as much as his younger son did to him” But this verse didn’t say that Ham is the youngest son of Noah.
The word “son” can be used for direct son, like Ham is a son of Noah. On the other hand, the meaning could be extended to a further descendant. Maybe a grandson or many generations later. For example, all the descendants of Jacob (Israel) are sons of his.
In this context Noah is referring to Canaan, not Ham. That is the reason the Bible mentioned that Ham is the father of Canaan. Even then in the preceding verse we have proof that Noah was referring to Canaan.
Gen_9:25 And he said, Accursed be Canaan -- a child, he will be a domestic servant to his brothers.
The best we can gather is that Canaan disrobed his grandfather as a youthful prank. And his grandfather didn’t appreciate it. Therefore, he cursed him for it. Noah couldn’t be cursing Canaan if Ham was the one who did something inappropriate to him
Therefore, the idea that Ham was the youngest son is false and run counter to the Word of GOD.
That was where the Bible tripped up the Zondervan. It did it as well to Josephus Flavius. This is a good example of how false doctrine and works of errors had crept into the false Christian doctrine. Ever since Josephus has influenced their theology.
Pretty much everything we know of Josephus Flavius is out of his mouth; his autobiography “THE LIFE OF FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS” he claims to be a Jew, born in Jerusalem in around AD 37. He claimed to be The son of a priest and his mother descended from royal Jewish line. he became a Pharisee, a military commander in the Jewish resistance, and claimed to be an eyewitness to Jerusalem’s destruction in AD 70.
His major works are his account of the Jewish revolt (The Jewish War) and a complete history of God’s people from creation to the first century (Antiquities of the Jews).
Obviously, he had access to Biblical text in Jerusalem or elsewhere. He couldn’t be giving firsthand information since he was born in AD 38. This work reads like a creative paraphrasing of the narratives of the Old Testament and much of the earlier new testament. For all his efforts this work is a cavalcade of errors and misinformation
The 1544 Greek edition of this book appeared to be the basis of the 1732 English translation by William Whiston. This book achieved enormous popularity in the English-speaking world. It was second only to the Bible. Christians most frequently owned a copy. For two millennia Christian scholars have preserved and studied Josephus’s works. The Christian clergy often incorporate details from Josephus works in their sermons. They would do this just as if it is coming from the pages of the Bible. But Flavius works falls flat when compared to the Bible.
We read the following from “CHAPTER 4. Concerning The Tower Of Babylon, And The Confusion Of Tongues”
1. Now the sons of Noah were three, - Shem, Japhet, and Ham, born one hundred years before the Deluge. These first of all descended from the mountains into the plains, and fixed their habitation there; and persuaded others who were greatly afraid of the lower grounds on account of the flood, and so were very loath to come down from the higher places, to venture to follow their examples. Now the plain in which they first dwelt was called Shinar
Right there you have it, Flavius has Shem being the oldest, Japhet the second and the youngest son Ham! Flavius would go on to show his ignorance of the Bible by stating in the same passage that other people survived the flood, living up in mountains. But the Bible clearly states that only 8 people survived the flood. For example:
Gen 10:32 These are the tribes of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, according to their nations. From these were scattered islands of the nations upon the earth after the flood. Gen 9:19 These three are the sons of Noah. From these, men were disseminated upon all the earth.
Then there are groups of theologians who teach that the order of birth as Japhet, Shem and Ham. We already see how these scholars got Ham to be the youngest son. But some made a new twist by naming Japhet as the oldest. Let us investigate how this one originated.
As I have shown above, whenever GOD discusses the three sons of Noah together, HE does it in chronological order of their birth. But we read in chapter 10 that GOD is enumerating the descendants of the three sons, this time he starts with Japheth, the one HE lists as the youngest of the three and works his way upward to the oldest Shem.
The following are the descendants of Japheth
Gen 10:1-5 GOD list the descendants of Japhet and end in verse 5 where HE describes where they initially abode on the face of the earth. GOD in now finished with Japhet’s genealogy.
The Following are the descendants of the middle son Ham.
Gen 10:6-20 GOD lists Ham’s genealogy and is finished with it for the last time
The Following are the descendants of the oldest son Shem.
Gen_10:21 And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the greater.
Gen 10:21 is where these theologians stumble. And GOD may have done this purposefully. You must read it slowly or you will miss it! “And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the greater”.
The key here is to remember that GOD had already dwelt with Japheth’s genealogy. HE is now talking about Shem’s genealogy.
Therefore, The term “elder” can only to Shem, NOT Japheth. GOD can only be identifying Shem because he is the father of all the sons of Eber. Not Japheth! Shem is also the brother to Japheth (as well as Ham)
The question you must ask, is Japhet the father of the sons of Eber.? If the answer is no, then GOD is NOT referring to Japhet. HE is only referring to Shem as the elder.
Another important principle during Biblical times is that of the first born. the firstborn is the one entitled to the blessing. You can see that played out here. Shem was the line that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) down to the Messiah. They did not come through Japheth as you can clearly see. Therefore, this false chronology of Japhet, Shem, and Ham is out of step with the Bible.
It is clear to see why GOD list the brothers in this order. Shem is the one whom consist of the line of the CHRIST. Being the oldest son, he was to inherit the blessings. There would be no other chronology of either Ham or Japheth after that. Because they would not enter the bloodline of the people of Israel and the CHRIST
this idea came from the apocryphal book of Jasher. we read the following in Chapter 7 verse one of this book.
1) and these are the names of the sons of Noah Japheth ham and sham. and children were born to them after the flood for they had taken wives before the flood
notice how it mirrors exactly the chronology of Genesis 10: 1 – 32. But we previously learned that is incorrect. The Author of this fake book would have gotten that idea from the reading of Gen 10:21 also.
Gen 10:21 And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the greater.
As we discussed that earlier, the author mistakenly understands this verse refers to Japhet as the elder. But it is referring to Shem who is the oldest of the three brothers. The Septuagint translations are clear that this passage is referring to Shem the elder. But let us compare the KJV with lesser-known English translations.
Gen. 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.(KJV) Gen. 10:21 And to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, children were also born. (Lexham English Bible)
The Lexham English Bible clearly states that Shem is the older of the two brothers.
As ridiculous as it may seem, there is yet another strange twist on the chronology of the sons of Noah. This chronology lists them as Ham, Shem, and Japheth. It says that Ham is the elder, then Shem and Japheth. The main proponent of this error was a man called Harold Camping.
Harold Camping was an American Christian radio broadcaster, author, and evangelist. He is notable for issuing a succession of failed predictions of End Times dates.
He was also the author of several books including “Adam When”? A Biblical Solution to the Timetable of Mankind” This book Adam When?
On page 46 of the book “Adam When” Camping writes the following:
“We find that in Genesis 5:32 declares that Noah was 500 years old when he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, yet in the 10th verse of Genesis 11 we are told that when ‘Shem was a hundred years old, he became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood’”
He further reasons that“Since Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood, Shem must have been born when Noah was 502. And since Genesis 10:21 refers to Shem, the older brother of Japheth, we can know that Japheth was born when Noah was more than 502 years old.”
Subsequently, he concludes:
“Thus, Ham must have been born when Noah was 500 as the oldest of the three sons. We may, therefore, reasonably conclude that Shem was born when his father was 502…Again, as in Abram’s case Shem’s name probably appears first in Bible record because of his place in GOD’s plan”
Camping and others couldn’t see it, but the answer was staring them right in the face. This could not have happened if Camping was listening to himself. In Chapter one, page eight of this very book, camping declares, and I quote:
“Whenever we have to force a verse or struggle with a verse to make it fit into our idea of what the Word says or will allow, we are on dangerous ground”
That is a perfect principle of Bible study. But if he believes this principle of good Bible study, he shouldn’t have fitted Ham into the first-born position so easily. As a Bible scholar, he should have known that Shem’s just the first on the chronology because of his place in GOD’s plan? The right of the firstborn.
Camping is one of the biggest proponents of the KJV Bible during his ministry. But now let us look and compare this verse to that of a Septuagint translation.
Gen 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth (KJV+) Gen 5:32) And Noah was five hundred years (old) and he procreated three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Septuagint)
You will have noticed that the KJV has already done their private interpretation. They declared that Noah was 500 years old when he begat the three sons.
But in the Septuagint translation, we notice that “old” is in italics. This means that the word was not in the original manuscript. They are careful to let you know that word did not belong there. Without the italicizes word the verse would read like the following:
“And Noah was five hundred years and he procreated three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth”.
At this point we are sure it does not say that (when)Noah was 500 years old he procreated, Shem Ham, and Japheth. And also, there is no indication that the brothers are triplets.
Now let us examine the two verbs in the sentence ("procreated" and "was"). Procreation can only mean that Noah became the father of the three. One clue is that the “500” may not have anything to do with his age when he procreated the boys.
The word “procreated” simply means to bear, beget, engender, bring forth. But the verb “was” G1510 seems to shed more light.
This word G1510 can be used in a variety of ways, including “sojourned” like in “to be present”. Example:
Act_7:6 And God thus spoke, that his seed will beG1510 a sojournerG3941 in an alien land, and they shall enslave it, and inflict evil for four hundred years.
You can look at Gen 5:32 as having two parts. (first)Noah sojourned/lived 500 years. (second) he procreated three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. These parts of the sentence are disjointed and do not necessarily bear any relationship with each other. The two parts are independent of each other in the context of determining the birthdates of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
This is how Camping, et al. runs into a problem. They assume GOD is saying that Noah was 500 years old when he fathered Shem.
Alternately you could say that Noah did not start procreating sons until after he was 500 years. He did not procreate any sons when he was 499, or 500 years old. but he would start procreating at 501, 502, 503, etc.
Let's look at the second verse he mentions to sort out his consternation.
Gen 11:10 And these are the generations of Shem. And Shem was a hundred years (old) when he procreated Arphaxad, the second year after the flood.
We already learned these facts from the Bible, that the flood started in the 600 years of Noah’s life. We read that from the following verse
Gen 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old, and the flood of the water came upon the earth.
Therefore, these are the facts we gather from Gen 11:10 above:
Shem procreated Arphaxad when he was 100 years. Arphaxad was born 2 years after the flood when Noah was 600 years old. Therefore, Noah would be 602 years old himself when Arphaxad was born. If the end of the flood was Noah's 600th birthday, then it would be Shem’s 98 birthday. If Noah was 600 years old when Shem was 98 years old, then Shem would have to be born when Noah was 502 years old.
As you can see from that deduction that Camping was correct that Noah procreated Shem when he was 502.
Camping read Gen 5:32 and assumed that Noah started procreating when he was 500 years, then he invokes Gen 10:21 to show that Shem was indeed Japhet’s older brother (which is also correct) he now has nowhere to go but to make Ham the oldest brother. To his idea, Ham had to be born before Noah’s 502nd birthday. The most convenient date to him was Noah’s 500th (birthday) because he thinks that is what he read in Gen 5:32. Therefore the Chronology of Ham, Shem, and Japheth is also wrong. The correct chronology of Noah’s three sons birth order can only be Shem, Ham, and Japheth just as the Bible states.
Are the Samaritans Israelites or Gentiles?
Proof America is Babylon of the Bible. It is obvious that the Babylon of the Bible is a reference to the United States of America. The reference could not be any other country. Yet many of today’s preachers and Bible commentators will tell you it is something else.
But these are only ideas out of the minds of man. America is identified in the scriptures by its great wealth.
Rev 18:17-19 For in one hour was made desolate so great a wealth. And every navigator, and all upon the boats sailing, and seamen, and as many as work the sea stood from far off, and crying out seeing the smoke of her burning fire, saying, What is likened to the great city? And they threw dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, Woe, woe the great city, in which were enriched all the ones having the ships in the sea from her valuables, that in one hour she was made desolate.
This describes a calamitous and unprecedented occasion. If this is America, then the verses describe its destruction.
The question is whether this is talking about America or another country or entity. The Bible has solid Proof America is Babylon. Christian theologians and Supremacists teachers have set out to darken the eyes of their followers. They mention other entities as the possible “Babylon” of the Bible. These include New York City, Saudi Arabia, An Evil world system, Rome, the Vatican, and even Iraq. But they pitch these ideas to deflect from the obvious truth. The Bible clearly has Proof America is Babylon of the Bible.
The “holier-than-thou” Christian hypocrites like to mention this one. Their televangelists would have you believe that America is sinless outside of New York. One reason they pick on New York is because of a Bible verse that describes Babylon as a great city. For example:
Rev_18:10 standing from far off on account of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe to the great city, Babylon, the strong city, for in one hour your judgment came
But the Bible also references the Kingdom of GOD as a city in the following verse.
Rev_22:14 Blessed are the ones observing his commandments, that their authority will be unto the tree of life, and by the gatehouses they should enter into the city
You will have to imagine the city of GOD as one city among other cities of GOD. Of course, But this would be ridiculous. Therefore New York can never be what the Bible describes as Babylon.
Saudi Arabia is also another favorite because of its great wealth. But Saudi Arabia's gross domestic product lags behind at least 16 countries. No one can imagine Saudi Arabia as being on par with the economic giant of America.
Then there is the Evil World System. But the Babylon of the Bible speaks to a national and geographical entity. If that is true, then the entire world is Babylon. The following verses clearly show Babylon to be a geographical/political entity.
Isa_13: 19 And Babylon will be ( the place which is called honorable by the king of the Chaldeans) in which manner God eradicated Sodom and Gomorrah.
But the same verse describes the nature of Babylon as like Sodom and Gomorrah which GOD burned out of existence. Therefore, Babylon is a country.
Many Christian scholars like to think that "Babylon" is a metaphor for the pagan Roman Empire. They relate this to the time of persecution of so-called Christians by the Romans. But there are two things that make this idea absurd.
Firstly, it was the Roman themselves that later issued “the Edict of Milan in 313.” This effectively legalized Christianity as the religion of the Roman empire. Secondly, if we should go by the language of Revelation then Rome would have had a calamitous end. We know that never happened. The fact is this chapter describes an end-time event.
Rev_18:21 And one strong angel lifted a stone as a great millstone, and cast it in the sea, saying, Thus with impulse shall Babylon the great city be thrown, and in no way shall be found any more
These verses describe the language of the "end-time", and we haven't gotten there yet!
the Seven Day Adventists and others push this idea. It relates to a New World Order scenario. This supposedly includes a Vatican-inspired conspiracy to install universal Sunday (Sabbath) worship. They have yet to present any evidence to support this absurd idea. The Bible describes Babylon as a great and extremely wealthy mercantile nation. It is today's contemporary of a superpower.
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any longer; Rev 18:12 merchandise of gold, and of silver, and of precious stone, and of pearl, and of linen, and of purple goods, and of silk, and of scarlet goods, and all wood of thyine, and every item of ivory, and every item of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble, Rev 18:13 and cinnamon, and incenses, and perfumed liquid, and frankincense, and wine, and olive oil, and fine flour, and grain, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and coaches, and bodies, and souls of men.
The Vatican has never been an instrument of international commerce and wealth. It has never been an important nation. As of 2021 only 800 lives there.
Iraq is and was always a third-world country. It has minimal control over its own destiny. America owns them. Because we read:
Rev 17:18 And the woman whom you saw is the great city, the one having kingship over the kings of the earth.
You will quickly recognize America’s true nature despite her pretenses. she is morally bankrupt and degenerate. The LORD America to that of Sodom and Gomorrah. The LORD eradicated Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness
Isa 13:19 And Babylon will be (the place which is called honorable by the king of the Chaldeans) in which manner God eradicated Sodom and Gomorrah.
Babylon is the country, and the Chaldeans are its inhabitants. Just like Americans inhabitants of America) The king of the Chaldeans is its political and spiritual leader. In their eyes, America is glorious and free from sins. They are GODlike.
They champion themselves as a pinnacle of virtue. A supposedly Christian, the most rabid flag-waving white supremacist, and the rabid flag-waving Americanist/capitalist esteem America.
Today America falsely accuses other nations of human rights violations. Lots of hot air about the Uyghurs in China. At the same time, conveniently forgetting to mention the constant abuse of the human rights of its black citizenry. Even today, Police killing, and lynching are common occurrences.
One should remember that the most notable thing about Sodom and Gomorrah is the act of homosexuality and sexual indulgences
Rev 17:4-5 And the woman was wearing purple and scarlet, gilded with gold, and precious stone and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the uncleanliness of her harlotry. And upon her forehead a name being written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth.
That was a perfect description of America. The Propagation of worldwide homosexuality and other sexual perversions. They also export the false religion of Christianity with its twin sister of Capitalist exploitation, greed, pride, and warmongering all over the world.
From the Bible’s account, at the time of falling (Babylon) would have been the most prosperous and wealthy nation that ever existed. It would represent the most catastrophic incident for the world economy and merchants.
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any longer; Rev 18:12 merchandise of gold, and of silver, and of precious stone, and of pearl, and of linen, and of purple goods, and of silk, and of scarlet goods, and all wood of thyine, and every item of ivory, and every item of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble, Rev 18:13 and cinnamon, and incenses, and perfumed liquid, and frankincense, and wine, and olive oil, and fine flour, and grain, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and coaches, and bodies, and souls of men.
America has been the wealthiest and will still be until its fall. The website Visual Capitalist has America owning 30% of the world economy, Total wealth by country in 2019 though they represent only 4% of the world population.
It is remarkable the nations: China, South Korea, Japan, India, Pakistan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong together represent only 32% of the world’s wealth. They represent 40% of the people of the world. But these countries have become wealthy because of the goods and services they provide America. This wealth is generated by American consumption. Americans only represent 4% of the world population.
Rev 18:3 For of the rage of the wine of her harlotry all the nations are given to drink; and the kings of the earth committed harlotry with her; and the merchants of the earth were enriched of the power of her indulgence.
The thought of ascending to the stars evokes the memory of Nimrod and his one-world religion. It was all about pride. The pride of Satan that caused his curse. Nimrod was building a tower to ascend unto the Heavens to challenge GOD. He was lifting himself unto the stars. But where is Nimrod now?
According to the following verses America has placed itself equal to GOD. Although they pretend to worship the GOD of Israel using the false religion of Christianity. But the tenet of their religious beliefs come from Capitalism and Evolution (no GOD) They have replaced GOD.
Isa_14:13 But you said in your heart, Unto the heaven I shall ascend; I will put my throne upon the stars of the heaven; I shall sit on a high mountain, upon the high mountains towards the north;
But GOD’s response is that it does not matter how much America vaunts itself against HIM, HE will bring judgment against them.
Oba 1:4 If you should rise up on high as an eagle, and if in the midst of the stars you should put your nest, from there I will lead you down, says the LORD.
Later we will see how GOD will use other nations to destroy America.
Jer_51:53 For though Babylon should ascend as the heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength; from me shall come ones utterly destroying her, says the LORD.
The Bible contains the history and the journeys of the true people of Israel. It records GOD’s commandments to them. It regards the way they should walk to reach the required goal of Salvation. Therefore, every prophecy in the Bible must relate to them.
In 587 BCE the southern kingdom of Judah fell to the Babylonian empire. We know that this nation of Babylon no longer exists today. Therefore, any reference to Babylon is allegorically pointing to another nation of today. We can know this nation by investigating its relationship with the people of Israel. Original Babylon had a master-slave relationship with the people of Israel. It was brutal and oppressive.
There is a master-slave relationship between America and the people of Israel today. It is brutal, murderous, and oppressive. The following verse and others connect the people of Israel to the Babylon of today –America
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman being intoxicated of the blood of the holy ones, and of the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled, having seen her, with great wonder.
This relationship started from the continent of Africa through the trans-Atlantic slave trade and colonialism. I will now put this into context.
The following verses introduce the origin of America.
Rev 17:7 And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell to you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast, of the one bearing her, of the one having the seven heads and the ten horns; Rev 17:9 Here is the mind of the one having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits upon them.
Obviously, the term sits upon them is indicating that the woman (America) has rulership over these seven kingdoms who are the head of the beast. At this point, we can identify seven countries with a slave master relationship with the people of Israel. These countries should also have an ancestral relationship with America.
History reveals these countries as the countries that had colonies in Africa were: There are seven of them: Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain
The Berlin conference convened (November 15, 1884 – February 26, 1885) It included thirteen participants. Noticeably included in the United States. Others were Austria- Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Ottoman Empire, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden- Norway, United Kingdom.
Although the United States became the eighth, they never had colonies in Africa. Since the subject is about the people of Israel, I must stress that all the references I make are regarding so-called Bantu Africa. One may want to argue that the Italians colonized non-Bantu Africa. But that is not actually true. Even today there are many Bantu tribes living in Ethiopia, Somalia, Eretria, and Sudan. They face the same oppression and cruelty from their non-Bantu neighbors. A good example is The Kunama people
America was not one of the seven European colonial powers in Africa. She however had slaves captured from Africa. Therefore, we read the following about America:
Rev 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition
America did however become a superpower in 1898. She is now the eighth and rules over all the other colonial powers. In fact, over all the world. Perdition here may indicate a steep decline into evil and ungodliness as soon as it became a superpower.
The ten horns of the beast represent ten kingdoms that were not yet established.
Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, ones which not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. Rev 17:13 These have one opinion, and they give the power and their authority to the beast.
We know the beast is Satan. He gives authority to the seven European nations as well as America. But these ten kingdoms also get their authority from Satan. They are of one mind to accomplish a set goal. We will soon see what that goal is.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall detest the harlot, and they shall cause her being made desolate, and shall make her naked, and shall devour her flesh, and shall incinerate her by fire.
They are of a singular mind to destroy America. I will not try to identify these ten nations. America has heaped up much ill will among the nations. If you are up with current events, China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Syria is on a shortlist. Some have or are on their way to building nuclear weapons.
Rev 17:17 For God gave to their hearts to do his design, and to do one design, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
These kingdoms give their authority to Satan. Here we see that GOD put it in their hearts to destroy America.
If you read my blog on the Final tribulation, I covered the fact that the Rapture of the saints would have to happen before the fall of Babylon. The fall of Babylon would come after a great and spectacular event. We are introduced to this event in the following verse:
Isa_13:10 For the stars of the heaven, and Orion, and all the cosmos of the heaven shall not give of their light; and the of the sunrising shall be made dark, and the moon shall not give her light.
It is an important event that it is covered in multiple Old and New Testament verses. The foes of America will use the cover of darkness to strike. We also know from the Bible that America’s destruction will precede judgment day because we have the great men of the earth weeping for her.
Rev_18:15 The merchants of these things, the ones who enriched from her, shall stand from far off because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, Rev_18:16 and saying, Woe, woe to the great city, the one wearing fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and being gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls.
You will have a better perspective about the calamitous fall of America (Babylon) when you understand by whom hands it will come. These nations will use the cover of darkness to attack Babylon.
Today, America has no shortages of adversaries. They are putting sanctions on half of the world. Promoting civil unrest worldwide and attacking many countries. They occupy and steal the resources of many countries. Today there is a standoff between America on one hand and Russia and China on the other. Russia has a noble cause, but the USA is confronting them in Ukraine. They have bought the world precipitously close to a nuclear confrontation. The dynamics of the American confrontationist attitude will elicit a response soon.
Jer_51:1 Thus says the LORD, Behold, I awaken against Babylon, and against the Chaldeans dwelling there an utterly destroying burning wind. Jer_51:2 And I shall send against Babylon arrogant ones. And they shall insult her, and lay waste her land. Woe upon Babylon round about in the day of her affliction. Jer 51:3 Upon her let the one stretching stretch his bow, and put on what is his weapons! And spare not against her young men, and obliterate all her force!
Revelation 17:16-17 relays the same sentiments.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall detest the harlot, and they shall cause her being made desolate, and shall make her naked, and shall devour her flesh, and shall incinerate her by fire. Rev 17:17 For God gave to their hearts to do his design, and to do one design, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
The aforementioned nations do these acts at the behest of the “beast” which is Satan.
Even then, it is GOD’s will they are accomplishing. HE is the one controlling their behavior. We know this because of the statement “For God gave to their hearts to do his design”
There will be rejoicing in Zion at the fall of Babylon because we read the following:
Rev_18:20 Be glad over her, O heaven, and the holy ones, and the apostles, and the prophets! for God judged your case against her.
As a first down payment of the judgment. GOD just destroyed America for what it did against the people of Israel.
Rev_18:6 Render to her as also she rendered to you, and double up to her double according to her works! In the cup which she mixed, you mix to her double!
Rev_18:24 And in her the blood of prophets and holy ones was found, and of all the ones being slain upon the earth.
Jer_51:24 And I will recompense to Babylon and to all the Chaldeans dwelling there all their evils which they did against Zion before your eyes, says the LORD.
It is important to understand that America rules the entire world. The influence of White Supremacy is far and wide. The teaching of evolution; the propagation of the false Christian religion; and hatred for the people of Israel propagated all over the world by America.
Rev_18:23 and the light of a lamp in no way shall shine in you anymore; and the voice of the groom and bride in no way shall be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorcery all the nations were misled.
Five Points That Prove America Is Babylon In The Bible
Sinners are never interned in Hell but annihilated. In religion, it is an afterlife location. The place where evil souls are subjected to punitive suffering,
The concept of a punitive place of eternal damnation for sinners has always been part of the Christian dogma.
This study will show that GOD is not like man. HE does not intern sinners everlastingly with punishment; HE mercifully Annihilates them from existence forever. The following verse summarizes this fact.
Psa_101:8 Into the morning I killed all the sinners of the land; to utterly destroy from out of the city of the LORD all the ones practicing lawlessness.
A physical Hell was a Gentile concept of the Greeks and Romans. They carried it over to the Christian religion. Through the eons, none of their theologians and scholars questioned it.
The Christians claim that man has a dual nature. He has a physical body and a spiritual one that survives the body after the breath of life leaves the body.
But not so says the Bible. Man has a singular nature. Whenever the breath of life comes out of him, he ceases to exist except for the lifeless body interned in a grave. He has not survived by any other nature or conscientiousness. The “Second Death" is where sinners are annihilated, not interned in Hell.
We earlier understood from the Bible that GOD created man in his image and tested them in the garden of Eden.
Gen_2:17 but from the tree of the knowing good and evil, you shall not eat from it; but in whatever day you should eat from it, to death you shall die
However, we later learned that mankind’s head, Adam, and his wife Eve failed the test miserably. They disobeyed GOD and obeyed Satan. Therefore, Judgment was passed on them and their generations. The consequences for Adam disobedience are summed up in the phrase “to death you shall die”
The term "To Death, you shall die" is repeated in the books of "Genesis", "Exodus", "Leviticus", and "Numbers" several times. We notice that Adam, even though sentenced to death, did not die immediately. He remained alive to see several generations. Therefore, GOD could not have physically sentenced him to die. But he eventually died. Therefore, what should we make of that? The term signifies that Adam, and his generation are subject to two deaths.
The first death is when the breath of life comes out of his body and put in the grave. Therefore, Adam did die this death-the first death. He had no consciousness and had not survived by another nature. But after that, there is another death coming his way. We learned of that in the following verse.
Rev_21:8 But to the timid ones, and unbelieving ones, and sinful ones, and ones being abhorrent, and murderers, and fornicators, and dealers in potions, and idolaters, and to all the liars, their part is in the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
It is “the lake burning with fire and Sulphur, which is the second death.” This term appears four times in Revelation. In the following two verses, the term is further explained as a “Lake of Fire” or "lake burning with fire and sulfur"
Rev_20:14 And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death -- the lake of fire. Rev_21:8 But to the timid ones, and unbelieving ones, and sinful ones, and ones being abhorrent, and murderers, and fornicators, and dealers in potions, and idolaters, and to all the liars, their part is in the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
Therefore the "Lake of Fire" guarantee the sinners are never interned in Hell but annihilated forever.
Virtually every utterance of the word, “fire” by the LORD JESUS is in reference to this “lake of fire”—the second death principle. For example
Mat_3:12 of which the winnowing fan is in his hand, and he shall thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and shall gather together his grain into the storehouse; but the straw he shall incinerate by inextinguishable fire.
Even those mentioned by the Apostle Paul. For example:
2Th_1:8 in fire of flame, giving punishment to the ones not knowing God, and to the ones not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Some more examples are in the book of 2Peter, for example:
2Pe_3:10 But shall come the day of the Lord as a thief in the night, in which the heavens by a loud noise shall pass away, and the elements being destroyed by fire shall be loosed; and the earth and the works in it shall be incinerated.
All references are to the Lake of fire, otherwise called the second death. On judgment day-the last day, GOD will cleanse this earth with fire--extreme fire. This will evaporate the very DNA of sinful man. It will also destroy the elements of the created things that man corrupted. This is where Adam and his sinful generations meet their final end. God’s recreation of the New Heavens and Earth will no longer remember them.
Instead of Adam who was died the second death, let us consider the case of another man, King David, of Israel. We read:
2Sa 12:13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, And the LORD cast aside your sin, and you shall not die.
Putting this into context. Nathan the prophet is relaying a message from GOD to King David. This was after he has adulterous sex with the wife of one of his generals. The woman became pregnant. In order to cover up the pregnancy, David concocted to murder that man and succeeded. David had committed the act of adultery among his many other sins. This is a sin that should get him the death penalty. The following verse demonstrates it.
Lev 20:10 And a man, a man who ever should commit adultery with a man's wife, or who ever should commit adultery with a wife of his neighbor, to death let them be put to death! the man committing adultery and the woman committing adultery.
We see here that GOD did not order David’s death. GOD promised David that he should not die. But David did die eventually. But GOD forgave David’s sins. sparing him from the lake of fire—the second death. Let the Apostle Paul explain it:
Act 13:36 For David indeed having assisted his own generation by the counsel of God, went to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.
Therefore, king David and all those pre-ordained to life would pass on from death to being with GOD in spirit.
For most of Christian history, it has been axiomatic to the Christian establishment that those who died unsaved would suffer conscious torment in an eternal hell. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death, the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, ‘eternal fire.’ (CCC 1035).
But this has no reference in the entire Old Testament. YESHUA and the Apostles never mentioned any such doctrines. Therefore, it could have only originated in the minds of the early Christians-Romans. It is a carry-over from Gentile mythology. The early Church Fathers like Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, and others were firm on the reality of an eternal hell
What the Early Church Believed: Hell
It all started in the Garden of Eden. The tree of Life” represents eternal life. All man yearns for eternal life (immortality). But since Adams sin, it became unavailable, as we read the following:
Gen_3:22 And God said, Behold, Adam has become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest at any time he might stretch out the hand, and should take from the tree of life, and should eat, and will live into the eon -- Gen 3:23 that the LORD God ejected him from the paradise of the delicacy, to work the earth from which he was taken.
Therefore, GOD snatched away eternal life from the unsaved man. There is no possibility of eternal life for them. Then it got worse because they would have read epistles from the Apostles.
Act 5:31 This one -- God, chief and deliverer, exalted by his right hand, to give repentance to Israel and release of sins
You see the Roman Christians would understand this to mean, YESHUA did not provide repentance and release of sins for them. This was how they formulated the "Replacement hypothesis"
Before the Romans met the Israelites, their mythology believed that when they died, they went to the underworld. Both good and bad souls, regardless. They believed that the worst of them went to a place called Tartarus, where they are subjected to eternal torment. But they also believed that the better ones end up in Elysium (Heaven) once properly initiated and pay the required fee. Incidentally, the Catholic Church teaches the same thing today.
But when the Greek Romans-Christians met the Israelites and their Torah and the Epistles from the Apostles. They obviously read these verses and knew that Salvation for them was impossible. Their destiny was "the Lake of fire". They enmeshed their doctrines of the afterlife into their newly created Christian religion.
The word "Hell" is mostly found in the KJV and its derivative translations. But other translations usually use the terms "Hades", "Sheol", and "Gehenna". Without any authority or precedence, the KJV claims it to be the place of the future punishment “Gehenna” or “Gehenna of fire”.
Thayer Definition:
1) Hell is the place of the future punishment call “Gehenna” or “Gehenna of fire”.
"This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction."
Did you see that? The Thayer definition just made up the eternal “hell” from the word "Gehenna." This gives rise to the Christian dogma of a physical and eternal Hell. But the “Gehenna” or “Gehenna of fire” is simply the lake of fire. You see the connection in the following verse:
Mark 9:43 And if your hand should cause you to stumble, cut it off! It is good to you to enter crippled into life, rather than having two hands to go forth into Gehenna, into the inextinguishable fire,
The Bible doesn’t teach a physical Hell. There will be no hell to imprison them from eternity. But what does it say concerning their end? The sinners will not exist after death or on Judgment Day. GOD effects that by Annihilating them in the lake of fire as we discussed earlier.
The Christians knew their end was Annihilation, so they created Hell as a last grasp of immortality
Eze_34:25 And I will ordain with them a covenant of peace. And I will obliterate the ferocious wild beasts from the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and shall sleep in the forests.
To understand who the wild beasts represent in this verse, It would be helpful to see my YouTube video who is the wild beast in the Bible. But simply put it is the gentiles who oppressed Israel.
This verse reasserts GOD’s plan to complete HIS covenant “with them” (with Abraham’s seed) (Gen 15:8-18). It had already been ordained in the past; therefore, HE must be talking about its completion. Then this is followed by the plan to obliterate the Wild Beasts from the land. This is a good time to look at the word “obliterate”
Strong’s (G853)
From G852; to render unapparent, that is, (actively) consume (becloud), or (passively) disappear (be destroyed): - corrupt, disfigure, perish, vanish away.
Therefore, this passage is talking about annihilation. Bear in mind that Annihilation is an English word. So, if you chose to use the word “obliterate” instead that is what it means: to snatch out of sight, to put out of view, to make unseen, to cause to vanish away, to destroy, consume, to render unapparent, that is, (actively) consume, disappear, perish, vanish away.
This is the cause and result of the lake of fire. This is a flame so hot that it melts the elements of the earth itself.
