The Creation of Jesus the Christ

Chapter 10 (from my document, “Just a Man Crying Out in the Wilderness”

“The True Authorship of the New Testament” by Abelard Reuchlin shares a very compelling history regarding the creation of the New Testament. The Piso and Flavian Roman families were the ones who played a major role in creating this messiah called Jesus Christ. There are, however, some people who will argue that there were Christians before the Romans supposedly created Jesus. I believe this to be true because history shows us that Jesus was the reincarnation of a created god called Serapis Christus, and the followers of Serapis Christus were called Christians.

A Correspondence of Emperor Hadrian that was written to Serviamus, in 134 AD states, “Egypt, which you commended to me, my dearest Serviamus, I have found to be wholly fickle and inconsistent, and continually wafted about by every breath of fame. The worshippers of Serapis (here) are called Christians, and those who are devoted to the god Serapis (I find), call themselves Bishop of Christ.”

It all started with the European invasion into Africa. In 332 BC, the one they call “Alexander the Great” came in and took control of Egypt. The word “Egypt” was a Greek word that was given to this particular group of African people (just as the OT declares that another particular group of Africans were called Israelites).

After the death of Alexander, Ptolemy the 1^st took control of Egypt and, taking the idea from the Egyptian images, he decided to make himself a god. Ptolemy the 1^st was the first European Pharaoh, and he titled himself, “Meryamun Septenre (aka Soter).” Mery means “beloved”, and amun means “God”. Septenre means “chosen by God” and the word Soter means “savior”. This European Pharaoh insisted that the Egyptians make an image in his honor. The image was called Serapis Christus. The name, “Serapis” was taken from the most popular Egyptian triad, Osiris, Isis, and Horus. These names are also translated names. The people of Khemet (ancient Egyptians) called them Ausar, Auset and Heru, respectively (Auset was also called “Mery,” which is how they later came up with the name, “Mary” for their Roman image for the mother of God). The Europeans took the concept of this trinity and created their version of a god. They took Osiris and Isis, the translated names, and came up with the name, Oserapis which was later changed to Serapis. Serapis then took the place of the son, Horus (Heru), which the Europeans also interpreted as a sun god. The Romans accepted the Serapis deity and later made a devotional ritual to honor this new god.

“The savior and leader of souls, leading souls to the light and receiving them again… He raises the dead, he will save us after death, and we will be protected in his providence,” (reference, Serapis, The Outline of History, by H.G Wells, Volume 1).

From the creation of Serapis Christus, and through many council meetings that took place many years after, Serapis Christus was reinvented as Jesus Christ. The first meeting was the Council of Niceae the 1^st in 325 AD. The main purpose of this meeting was to take the Serapis image and insert it into the Egyptian Divine Triad, making it the son of Osiris. The next meeting was the Council of Constantinople the 1^st in 381AD. The focus of this meeting was on how to stop those who were resisting the creation of Serapis. During this meeting a creed was made, which would be recited for all future meetings, “God the Father, God the son, the same.”

The next meeting was the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. In this meeting, they decided to give the image of Serapis a human nature. In order to do this, they decided to give Serapis a mother. They once again, took the idea of the mother from the Egyptian Triad, and created the idea of a virgin birth, bringing forth a god. This is the reason the Romans called their image “Holy Mary, the Mother of God,” because of Auset (Isis) being referred to as “mery.”

The Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD, then came up with the concept that Serapis is all man and all God, and that he should be called, the son of God. This is when the religion, Christianity, officially began. The Council of Constantinople the 2^nd, in 553 AD, was mainly about sealing the deal, so to speak. During this time, certain rituals such as the offering of bread and wine as the body and blood of Christ, were created. It was also decided that they should lose the name Serapis but still keep the image of this god. The Greeks called Christ “Zeus” or “Odin” and the Romans called Christ “Jupiter”. The name Jesus is a derivative of the name Zeus. Iezv or Iesu, as it is spelled today using the Greek-Latin alphabet (The Greek and Latin alphabets are derivatives of the phonetic alphabet, which is the second form of writing of the Ancient Egyptians). For example, in Spanish, the name Jesus is pronounced “Hey Zeus,” which gives us the real meaning of the word Jesus (references regarding the origin of Christianity, “The Historical origins of Christianity” by Walter Williams).

Serapis, Zeus, Odin, Jupiter, and Jesus are all the same gods. We can easily use Google image and look up the images of each of these gods and you’ll see how similarly they are portrayed. We can also do the same thing with the name Cesare Borgia as well as Santa Claus. There was a time in history when Jesus was also portrayed as a black messiah. The Romans portrayed this messiah in the image of a particular African tribe, those the OT calls Israelites, in order to convert and control them. This was why the New Testament books such as Acts 13:1 (Israelites called “niger” which means black) and Revelation 1:14-15 (messiah’s feet like fine brass) briefly implies that the Israelites and the messiah in the New Testament fit their description (there are also many other scriptures in the OT that further indicate that the Israelites were a group of black people). The majority of the Jesus Christ images that were created were later white-washed, which is a term for turning the characters of the Bible into Caucasian people. The image of Jesus was turned into Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI, who had a very similar look to Serapis/Zeus/Odin/Jupiter. Probably not just a coincidence. Santa Claus is more of the joyful/commercial version of this god. Yes, there is the story of Saint Nicholas and his good deeds. Many people believe that the story of St. Nicholas led to the creation of Santa Claus, but this idolized god is much older than the story of St. Nicholas. Serapis, Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, Jesus, Santa, as well as Lucifer (as shown in the previous chapter) are all one and the same.

 

Prepare Ye The Way of The Lord

(Chapter 7 from my document, “Just a Man Crying Out in the Wilderness”)

Mark 1:3 (NT), “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”

In Matthew 11:14 (NT) Jesus says, “And if ye will receive it, this is Elias (Elijah), which was for to come.” (He was referring to John the Baptist.)

Luke 1:17 (NT)-  ^“And he (John The Baptist) shall go before him (Jesus who is being proclaimed as the Lord) in the spirit and power of Elias (Elijah), to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

John the Baptist was seen as the one crying out in the wilderness. According to the NT, he was trying to prepare the people for the coming of the messiah, Jesus.

Let’s look at the original scripture concerning the prophecy of the return of Elijah.

Malachi 4: 1-6 (OT) “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Bold mine)

The New Testament claims that John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah. In order to confirm whether this is true, or whether this was taken out of context, you have to read the surrounding prophesies to confirm what’s supposed to happen when Elijah returns. If “Jesus is Lord” then does this line up with what the scripture calls the great and dreadful day of the Lord? Let’s back up to Malachi 3 and get a clearer picture of what Elijah will do when he returns.

Malachi 3:1-5- “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver:

and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.” (Bold mine)

The sons of Levi (The priests) will be set in place once again, and they will give an offering to the Lord for his people Israel, as well as other nations (strangers) who repented from their wicked ways and turned to God.

Let’s continue:

“And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. (Bold mine)

Just a quick side note:

“Oppress the hireling in his wages.” There are many churches doing this today. If you truly study the Bible, you’ll see that the concept of the tithe has absolutely nothing to do with money. Yes the tithe is 10%, but God never instructed his people to give 10% of their money. The people were supposed to bring in 10% of what God proclaimed as holy or set apart. Money was never seen as a holy or set apart offering. I’ll share one example.

Deuteronomy 14:22-26

 ^“Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

²⁴ And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:

²⁵ Then shalt thou turn it into money, (notice that the scripture points out the difference between tithe and money) and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:

²⁶ And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household…” (Bold mine)

Even if a church makes the decision to have their congregation tithe their money (which is not supported in the Bible) they should at least do it according to the concept or principle of scripture. According to the scriptures, the congregation is supposed to bring in the tithe into the sanctuary, and they’re supposed to EAT (or use the money on) whatever they desire to have that day. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the churches of today follow this way of giving and receiving?

My next quick point…

God will be a strong witness against those who “turn aside the stranger from his right.” There are also many scattered Africans/Hebrew Israelites turning away strangers/people they don’t accept as Hebrew Israelites, even though this is against the God they say they believe in. God says that if they turn away the stranger, He will come AGAINST them.

Alright, let’s get back on track…

In order to confirm whether John the Baptist was the Elijah we were waiting for, the surrounding prophesies must be confirmed. When Elijah returns, the sons of Levi will be purified. They will be re-established so that they, on behalf of the people, can provide an offering to the Lord when He returns. According to the OT, if the sons of Levi are not re-established so that they can take care of the offering, then God is going to come back and place a curse on the earth!” (Mal 4:6- And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse)

When John the Baptist was preparing the way for the lord Jesus, did John the Baptist purify the sons of Levi? The sons of Levi were still in their position during this supposed time of Jesus. Did the sons of Levi make an offering for Jesus? The day Jesus was born, was that the great and dreadful day of the Lord? Look up all the scriptures that talk about the great day of the Lord and you’ll see, once again, how the New Testament took a “prophetic” word from the Old Testament and used it out of context.

John 1:21 (NT): “And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? (Elijah) And he saith, I am NOT.”

The book of John got this one right. John the Baptist was certainly not Elijah, nor did he come in the “spirit” of Elijah.

Joel 2:27-32 (OT): “And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.” (Bold mine)

In Matthew 24:29 (NT), Jesus even spoke about the great day of the Lord. “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken…” (Bold mine)

But then notice how he adds himself into the prophecy…

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man (referring to Jesus) coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (verses 30-31).

The book of Daniel (OT) shares a similar story, but the archangel Michael is the one who appears to gather the people and not Jesus.

Daniel 12:1-2, “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Bold mine).

Let’s look again at Malachi 4:2-3, “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…” (Bold mine)

This is in line with the book of Daniel that refers to the archangel Michael, whom the book of Malachi calls the Sun of Righteousness. According to the OT, before the great day of the Lord, Elijah will come back to prepare the way for the Lord. When that day comes, the archangel will then deliver the people, and many will be resurrected. Many Christians misinterpret “Sun of Righteousness,” stating that this is about Jesus, but yet the OT, in context, does not support this belief. There is also a religious group called “Jehovah’s Witnesses” who believe that the archangel Michael is also Jesus. We’re already in the process of showing you that Jesus is a man-made god, so even if the Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jesus and Michael are one and the same, it still doesn’t change the fact that this messiah is a fictional character.

When we read through the Old and New Testament books in context, it is hard to ignore the fact that these two books do not agree with each other. According to the New Testament, John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah (fulfilling the Malachi 3-4 prophecy) preparing the way for this lord Jesus, and then over two thousand years later, we’re waiting for another great day of the Lord? I’ve heard many people who stated that the Bible is so profound and is so holy, that it’s hard to understand it all, and that we should still believe in it even if it doesn’t make sense. This is just an excuse to remain ignorant of the truth. It is always important to research what we say we believe. As I’ve previously stated (in my document introduction), “we all use some level of faith in order to live,” because we do not understand everything; but that doesn’t mean we should keep believing in something that can be proven to be an outright lie.

The title of my document was taken from Mark 1:3. “Just a Man Crying Out in The Wilderness” expresses my search for answers. I’m crying out to anyone willing to question, challenge, and/or study what they’ve been taught to believe. I’m not proclaiming that I have all the answers. I want to always remain teachable, and if anyone (Christians, Muslims, Jews) can prove me wrong, then I strongly welcome them to do it. My desire is for people to spiritually awaken from the religious box they were given, and to seek the rhythm and unity of the one we call God, and all creation. Our spirits were not born with the identity of a religion. I’m reminded of a song a friend of mine wrote, called, “Life Without Limits.” This title describes our spirits. We can do whatever we desire to do. As a spirit, we can create boundaries, laws, rules for ourselves to follow, that will assist us in living in peace, or we can use them to put us in bondage. As spirit beings we can share the wealth of the world with everyone, or we can use our spiritual enlightenment to place ourselves in control of others, keeping everyone else in a state of sleep, and enslaving them to work for us who are enlightened. This is the problem we face in this world today. There is more than enough wealth for all of us to live a “blessed” life, but there are some who are purposely keeping it away from most of us. This is one of the reasons that so many are looking for a messiah to come and rescue them. Before we focus on somebody else rescuing us, we need to first rescue ourselves. If you believe there will be a “great day of the Lord,” then, like John the Baptist, you should “prepare.”

How do you prepare? A man by the name of Daniel Stratton, who was my pastor for many years, talks about seeking prosperity in every area of our lives KSPMESF Kingdom/our calling, spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and financially. Although I still love him, I don’t agree with all of his teachings like I used to. I do agree with the overall focus of improvement in every area of our lives, so that we can be a light that shines in the midst of darkness. We’re currently being attacked in all these areas of our lives. If we begin to take better care of our spirit, soul, and body, the improvement of our lives will aid us in becoming more spiritually enlightened and in tune with God and the universe. There are many people pursuing this within their religion, such as the man I mentioned, and then there are others, like me, pursing this outside the box of religion.

I have a desire to change the world with the power of love, unity, and truth. In order for me to do this, I first need to focus on elevating myself in every area of my life, before I can truly help others. Pastor Daniel Stratton’s teachings are Christian foundational teachings, but I certainly don’t want to throw out the baby with the bath water, so to speak. I’m so thankful for everything I’ve learned through him. His teachings are not just “Christian” teachings, but I believe they are universal, life changing lessons that ALL people can learn from. I will share with you how I use this KSPMESF tool and how I pass it on to others. As I previously stated, you have to first start with yourself. While I’m focusing on prospering in every area of my life, I also connect with my wife as we elevate our lives together; and together we also elevate our children’s lives.

This is how you disciple. It first starts with you, your spouse, and then the rest of our family. Then you’ll be better equipped and supported to elevate others. If you try to elevate others but ignore yourself, your spouse, and your family, then you will be out of rhythm, or balance, in your life. This is the reason there are so many stories of ministers who have helped so many people, yet their own families fell apart. They were unbalanced in their own lives, but still trying to disciple others. If God has given you a family or close friends, then you need to first focus on being in rhythm with your family or close friends before you try and get in rhythm with anyone else. There are so many people looking out, or up, for a King to come rescue them, instead of becoming the change the world so desperately needs.

Two of my favorite teachings from Pastor Daniel Stratton are about getting in that quiet place, and hitting the mark. It’s so important to get away from the distractions of life and really seek peace within yourself and peace with God. From this place of peace and love, you then should set goals for yourself, but always be open to a spontaneous change that you might need to make (allowing your spirit, as it connects with God, to lead), and then readjust your goals. It’s good to come up with big goals but you also need to set up small doable steps. These are also teachings from Pastor Dan. The 5 questions that he likes to ask are,

1. What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
2. What is the obstacle that is stopping you?
3. What is your next doable step?
4. What would a miracle look like in your life?
5. What are you currently thankful for?

These 5 questions are a great help when it comes to being proactive, instead of just waiting around for a messiah to come rescue you. How about rescuing yourself and your family so that if there is a return of a King/Messiah (an enlightened one who desires peace on earth, good will to all men), he will say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”?

 

The Only Begotten Son

(Chapter 5 from my document, “Just a Man Crying Out in the Wilderness.”)

John 3:16- “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

No matter what culture or religion you’re from, pretty much everyone has heard John 3:16 – but what does the Old Testament say regarding God’s firstborn son?

Exodus 4:22-23(OT): “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: ²³ And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.” (Bold mine)

God warned Pharaoh to let His firstborn son (Israel) go, or else Pharaoh would lose his own firstborn son.

Matthew 2:15(NT): “And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.”

Notice that, again, the writer of the gospel didn’t say which prophet.

Hosea 11:1(OT), “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.” (Bold mine)

Jeremiah 31:9 (OT), “I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.”

This scripture particularly points out Ephraim. Remember that in Isaiah 7, 8 and 9, God protected Judah and destroyed Ephraim, the ruler of Israel. The OT shows that, even though God fought against Ephraim, He still loved him. The OT states that everyone who is from the lineage of Israel is considered a firstborn son. The only time God specifically points out a firstborn son as his personal or chosen firstborn is when He mentions King David.

“I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him… I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.” (Psalms 89:20 & 27)

The OT says that we are all God’s children and Israel is considered the firstborn of God’s children. It is obvious that the Israelites, Jacob’s sons, were not the first humans on earth, so when God declared that Israel was His firstborn, it simply meant that He set them apart from all His other nations of children, just as He set David apart from all other kings.

12 Tribes of Israel and the 12 Zodiac signs:

According to the OT, the Israelites were people who were set apart from all other nations. One thing that’s really interesting is the similarity between the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 zodiac signs. Were there truly 12 tribes of Israel or was this a made up story that was intentionally created to line up with our constellations?

Here are a few examples from Genesis 49 (OT):

Genesis 49:4 (Reuben), “Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Aquarius, the water bearer.

Genesis 49:5, “Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Gemini (the twin brothers).

Genesis 49:9, “Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?”

Present day Zodiac sign: Leo (the lion).

Genesis 49:13, “Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Pisces (fishes)

Genesis 49:14, “Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens…”

Present day Zodiac sign: Taurus (the bull).

Genesis 49:17, “Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Scorpio (the scorpion).

What constellation is right next to Scorpio? Sagittarius (biteth the horse heels). Sagittarius is a Centaur (Half man, half horse).

Genesis 49:19, “Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Sagittarius was the next constellation that Scorpio was biting so it seems Genesis 49:19 is referring to Sagittarius being Dan.

Genesis 49:20, “Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Virgo (image of an angel carrying a wheat harvest).

Genesis 49:21, “Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Aries (the ram).

Genesis 49:22-23, “The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)”

Present day Zodiac sign: Cancer (Sagittarius, the winter solstice is directly across from cancer, the summer solstice. Sagittarius was the archer shooting at cancer. They are in complete opposition to one other.)

Genesis 49:27, “Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.”

Present day Zodiac sign: Capricorn (Zodiac today shows an image of a half-goat, half-fish creature and the scripture has the description of something that is more like a wolf.

As I’ve stated in a previous chapter, we will talk more about how the OT was created from Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. I will reiterate what I’ve stated in my previous chapter. I want to focus on the similarity and/or differences between the Old and New Testament books first. It seems that the prophesies that are supposedly for Jesus, so far, are not in line with the full context of the OT. We will, however, continue to go through the prophesies to see if we can at least find one that is actually referring to Jesus.

 

The Return of a King

(Chapter 4 from my document, “Just a Man Crying Out in the Wilderness.”)

Jews, Christians, and Muslims are waiting for the return of a king/Messiah, but who will this king be? We will take the time to look through the Old Testament prophesies and again compare them with the New Testament scriptures. There is a reason why I’m mainly going through the OT and NT scriptures and not so much into the Koran (Quran). This is because the Muslim religion is a derivative of Christianity. The Old Testament and the four gospels of the New Testament were used to create the Koran. The writers of the Koran were Jewish scholars and Rabbis from the Alliance Israelite Universaille of Paris, France. This began in 1870, with the assistance of Christian and Arab scholars. Before the creation of the Koran, and Islam, the religion was called Muhammedanism. Without the OT and NT books there would be no Koran. You can read more regarding Islam from a book called, “The Historical Origin of Islam,” by Walter Williams. For those who’ve truly studied the Koran, they will agree that the Koran talks more about Jesus than it talks about Muhammad. The Koran actually talks about Allah (God) elevating Jesus higher than any other prophet. Allah raised Jesus up to Himself, and one day Jesus will return again.

Surah 4:157-158: “And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise. (Bold mine)

Surah 3:55: [Mention] when Allah said, “O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ. (Bold mine)

If the Koran Says that Jesus is elevated higher than any other profit (Jesus was elevated to God himself. You can’t get higher than that!), and that he (Jesus) will return again, then why are so many Muslims more focused on Muhammad and not Jesus? Many Muslims, just like many Christians, don’t truly study the very book they say they believe in. They know many of the scriptures out of context, not knowing the full meaning of how and/or why the scripture is saying what it says. They often rely on their “ministers” to tell them what to believe, instead of truly studying the book for themselves.

The Jews believe that the Messiah hasn’t come yet. The Christians believe that the Messiah already came, died for us, was resurrected, and will return again. The Muslims believe the Messiah came to earth and then Allah raised him up to be with Him, and on the day of resurrection Allah will return this Messiah back to earth. All three major religions are looking for this same Messiah, so isn’t it ironic that they’re fighting amongst each other? They have their disagreements but they all agree in the return of this King. According to the Koran and the New Testament, this King is Jesus, who will return to restore order, but does the Old Testament truly support this story?

Let’s first look at this New Testament scripture:

Matthew 2:4-6- “And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.” (Bold mine)

Here we see another prophecy, yet the prophet is not mentioned. The prophecy in Matthew actually came from the book of Micah (OT) 5:2: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” (Bold mine)

Who is this man, from of old, who will rule? There are many books in the Old Testament that talk about this man. Let’s read a few verses from Ezekiel 34.

Ezekiel 34: 1- And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ² Son of man, (Son of Adam or son of a human being) prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? ³ Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.

⁵ And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. ⁶ My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

²² Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²⁴ And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.

²⁵ And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. ²⁶ And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

³¹ And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God. (Bold mine)

Let’s continue looking at other OT scriptures…

Jeremiah 30:7-9: “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.” (Bold mine)

Hosea 3:5- “Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.” (Bold mine)

The OT states that King David will be king in the latter or last days.

Jeremiah 33:14-15- “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.”

The “Branch of righteousness” is the nation of Israel, and he (King David) will execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

16-18- “In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness. For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.” (Bold mine)

With Israel divided into two Kingdoms, there were other kings of Judah and kings of Israel that reigned after King David. According to the OT, There will not be a king to rule over both kingdoms until the kingdoms are gathered together as one, and then David will once again take his throne. No one else after David had his throne when Israel was one, and no one else will have his throne when Israel returns as one. In addition to this, no one else will take the place of the Levites.

Ezekiel 37:21-25- “And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel;

And one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever. (Bold mine)

According to the OT, David will be both the king and the prince because God will be the supreme king over King David.

Psalm 110:1- “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” This was a song of David that shows the relationship between the King, God Almighty, and King David.

Let’s look at Matthew 22:41-45 (NT): “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, the son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?”

The New Testament is implying that Jesus is the one Psalm 110 is referring to, but let’s go back to Psalm 89, which further confirms whom God will elevate above all other kings on earth.

Psalm 89:3-4, “I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.” (Bold mine)

Seed = the nation of Israel. This is another scripture that many use out of context, stating that Jesus is the seed that is established forever, but when you read the scripture in context, then the truth is revealed. I’ll talk more about the seed later, but let’s go to verse 19 and read all the way to 28.

19- Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

²⁰ I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: ²¹ With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. ²² The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. ²³ And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

²⁴ But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. ²⁵ I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

²⁶ He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

²⁷ Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

²⁸ My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. (Bold mine)

Let’s go back to Psalm 110, and we’ll read verse 1-7.

The Lord (God Almighty) said unto my Lord (King David), Sit thou at my right hand (set apart as God’s first born), until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

² The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

³ Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

⁴ The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

⁵ The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶ He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

⁷ He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. (Bold mine)

Melchizedek was a king and priest during the time of Abraham. Melchizedek means, “King of righteousness” and David will be called “The Lord our righteousness.”

Jeremiah 23:6- ^“In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.”

This is why the OT scripture says that David is a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek. We’re going to come back to Jeremiah 23 later because this is one chapter that some people get confused about, thinking that the OT is implying there will be another king other than king David who will come back to rule Israel. David will be king and priest but the Levites will still fulfill the duties of the priesthood. As the OT has stated, when Israel finally comes together, one of the prophecies reveals that one animal will not devour another (Isaiah 11:6-9). This prophecy also gives us the indication that all living beings will eat off the produce of the earth, instead of preying on each other. The Levites are responsible for offering up the sacrifices to God, but then what about when the gathering of Israel happens and we’re all eating off the produce of the land (If this is indeed true)? What will the Levites offer up to God? In the Old Testament we see examples of God’s people offering the produce of the land instead of offering up a creature to be sacrificed. Leviticus 2, for example, talks about the people offering up a “meat” offering but the offering is not actually meat as we understand it today. I’ll share a few verses just to give an example:

Meat offerings:

“And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

² And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord:

³ And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

⁴ And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

⁵ And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

⁶ Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.

According to the OT, when we receive a new covenant, the Levites will once again offer up “meat” (food) offerings on behalf of the people, but that doesn’t mean it necessarily has to be meat.

Let’s continue…

Jeremiah 23:1-8- Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord. ² Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.

³ And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

⁴ And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.

⁵ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

⁶ In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.

⁷ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

⁸ But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. (Bold mine)

If this was the only scripture we read (out of context), then it would seem that the OT is implying someone, other than David, would sit on the throne of David when Israel is once again gathered together; But since we’ve read all the other scriptures concerning the prophecy of this future king, then it’s safe to say, according to the OT, that King David is the one who will return to sit on his own throne. We do see, however, that there will be others in leadership positions over Israel (“And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them”). This reminds me of the story of when King David had his 30 mighty men. Maybe the OT is stating there will be something similar to this in the future?

If you are a believer in the Tanahk (OT), whenever you’re not sure what the word is saying, all you have to do is,

• Read the Word in context, and…
• Look for other places in the scriptures that talk about the same thing.

The OT states the righteous branch that God is talking about is the nation of Israel that a king will rule over. The king is David himself.  King David will be called The Lord of Righteousness, just as Melchizedek was the king of righteousness.

• Melchizedek was the “king of righteousness” but he was not God.
• Maher-shalal-hash-baz was called “Immanuel” but he was not God.
• King Hezekiah was called “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace,” but he was not God.
• King David will be called the “Lord our Righteousness” but he is not, and will never be, God.

Whether you believe or don’t believe in the return of a King who will restore order, we can all agree that there needs to be some kind of good will to all men, restoration in this earth. Because of these prophesies regarding the return of a King, many are just waiting around for someone else to fix their circumstances. If you are waiting for a change to manifest, how about being proactive while you wait? We can all hope and pray for a miraculous change to take place, but in the mean time we all need to elevate our being, and become the “saviors” that so many people are waiting on.

 

The Descendants of Israel

(Chapter 3 from my document, “Just a Man Crying Out in the Wilderness”)

According to the Bible, Israel is not a country but rather a nation of Hebrew people that all came from the lineage of Jacob, who received a new name from God, when he had a visitation. Jacob’s name was changed to Israel and all his children were known as Hebrew Israelites. The Old Testament shares with us the history of the Israelites, who were freed from slavery in Egypt and eventually received their own land to live in. God told the Israelites that if they followed His commands, they would continue to live a blessed life in their country, but if they disobeyed, they would be cursed (Deut 28).

Books such as “From Babylon To Timbuktu: A History of the Ancient Black Race Including the Black Hebrews” by Rudolph R. Windsor and El Hagahn (April 1988), and “The Lost Tribe And The Promise Land: The Origin Of American Racism” by Ronald Sanders talk about the Israelites being a group of black people who, throughout history, went further into Africa in order to survive the persecution that came at the hands of other nations. The reason it is said the Israelites fled “further into Africa,” is because both Africa and what we now know as the Middle East were once considered Africa. It wasn’t until the Europeans invaded Africa that it was reduced to the current geographic Africa we know today. This means that the tribe of Israel was indeed an African tribe. The Hebrew Israelites, according to the OT, are from Noah’s son, Shem. The Israelites fled from persecution and they dwelt among the other African tribes who are from Noah’s other son, Ham. The Israelites, during this time, were divided into two Kingdoms. The Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel. During the Atlantic slave trade, the kingdom of Judah were captured and were shipped away to be sold into slavery, and the Kingdom of Israel continued living among the other African tribes. This means that the majority of Africans who are scattered throughout the world, as a result of their ancestors being shipped into slavery, are descendants of the Israelites from the Kingdom of Judah.

There are many people today who believe the current Jewish people from the State of Israel are from the original lineage of the Israelites, even though all people in this area of the world were historically black people. It has been stated that there is DNA proof of the current Jews being Israelites, but then you have people such as Texe Marrs, who wrote the book, “The Jewish Bloodline,” stating that there’s DNA proof that shows us that the current Jewish people are NOT from the original lineage of the Israelites. Which “DNA poof” should we believe? There have been so many arguments regarding the origins of the Israeli people, yet hardly anyone has turned to the teachings of the Tanahk (Old Testament), which is where the prophecy of the gathering of Israel is from.

Let’s review some of the prophesies regarding what will happen when Israel gathers together again, and see if they are in line with the current State of Israel that was established in 1948:

Israel will be united in the promise land (Isaiah 11:12 and Isaiah 65:9).

King David (or someone from the lineage of King David, as some believe) will rule over Israel (Jeremiah 30:9).

All the animals will eat the produce of the land, and not prey on each other (Isaiah 11:6-8, and Isaiah 65:25).

The earth will be filled with the knowledge of God (Isaiah 11:9).

There will be no more hunger, sickness, or death (Isaiah 25:8).

The dead will rise (Isaiah 26:19).

The nations will acknowledge their mistreatment of Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5).

Weapons will be burned (Ezekiel 39:9).

The nations will seek spiritual guidance from Israel (Zechariah 8:23).

The law will be written in our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33).

If all of these prophesies haven’t been fulfilled, then that means the Israelites have not been gathered back into their country yet. Let’s take a closer look into the book of Isaiah, chapter 11.

Isaiah 11:10-12- “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”

Most of the places that are mentioned no longer exist today, but geographically these places were mainly in Northern Africa and the Middle East, which again, was all considered Africa during ancient times. According to the scriptures, the Lord will one day gather the Kingdom of Israel, who are still living in these areas, and He will also gather the Kingdom of Judah, who are scattered throughout the four corners of the world.

“And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the

• outcasts of Israel, and gather together
• the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth”

This scripture, regarding the gathering of Israel, has been taken out of context by so many who believe the State of Israel was a fulfillment of prophecy. In order to understand this prophecy, we must read the surrounding scriptures. For those who believe in the Bible, if you just read about God gathering Israel and don’t pay attention to the other scriptures that confirm the gathering, then you will be led astray. When the State of Israel was established, did the Jews gather from the African areas mentioned in the scriptures, or did they gather mostly from European areas? This gathering of the Jews was not according to the prophesies of the Bible, therefore these Jews are not the chosen people and they do not have a right to the African land of Israel as they claim.

At this point, I just want to take the time to mention that I do not have any hatred towards the “white man.” I also do not specifically have any type of hatred towards the Israeli people. Most of them, just like most of the scattered Africans today, do not know their true history. If the Old Testament is indeed correct regarding a particular group of Africans being Hebrew Israelites, then who are these Jewish people claiming to be from the lineage of Israel?

The Ashkenazi People:

Gen 10:1-5 (OT)- “Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue (language), after their families, in their nations.”

The OT states that Ashkenaz was from the lineage of Japheth. The descendants of Ashkenaz were called Ashkenazi people, or the people of Ashkenaz.

OT Genealogy: Noah- Japheth- Gomer- Ashkenaz (Not from Shem)

In Jeremiah 51:27 (OT) we also see God telling the Israelites about their allies. One of their allies was Ashkenaz, which further shows us that the Ashkenazi people are not from the lineage of Israel.

The Jewish Almanac (1980): “Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.”

Encyclopedia Americana (1985): “The Ashkenazim are the Jews whose ancestors lived in German lands… It was among Ashkenazi Jews that the idea of a political Zionism emerged, leading ultimately to the establishment of the State of Israel…”

This is why the Jews spoke Yiddish, which is a combination of the German and Hebrew languages. A few historians believed that the Ashkenazi people were also called Khazars. Let’s read from the Universal JEWISH Encyclopedia:

“The primary meaning of “Ashkenaz” and “Askenazim” in Hebrew is “German” and “Germans.” This may be due to the fact that the home of the ancient ancestors of the Germans is Media, which is the Biblical Ashkenaz… Krauss is of the opinion that in the early medieval ages the Khazars were sometimes referred to as Ashkenazim…About 92 % of all Jews or approximately 14,500,000 are Ashkenazim.”

The Encyclopedia Judaica (1972): “…Khazars professed Judaism, in spite of the negligible information of an archeological nature…”

The Jewish Encyclopedia: “Khazars, a non Semetic, Asiatic Mangolian tribal nation who immigrated into Eastern Europe about the 1^st century, who were converted as an entire nation to Judaism in the 7^th century…”

A book called “The Thirteenth Tribe,” written by a Jewish man, Arthur Koestler, talks about the Ashkenazi people, also referring to them as the Khazars. The book further states that the Khazarian ruler, King Bulan, was being pressured by both the Muslims and Christians into converting to their religions. King Bulan knew that if he converted to one of their religions, the other religion would automatically become his enemy, so he made a political (not spiritual) decision to convert to what we call Judaism. The Khazars eventually migrated through Europe, including Germany. The Khazars originally came from the southern regions of Russia and western Asia and Asia Minor. Israeli people today are mainly from Ashkenaz and a small amount of them are from Sephardim, which originated from the word “Sepharad,” the Hebrew word for Spain. The very meaning of the words tells us where these people are from (Ashkenaz means German in Hebrew, and Sephardim means Spain in Hebrew).

We’ve all heard the stories of the Jewish Holocaust, and many people falsely use this to portray the persecution of God’s chosen people, as prophesied in the Old Testament. The Holocaust of the scattered Africans (or Hebrew Israelites as the OT claims), that’s been happening ever since 70AD (and even before then), has been far worse than what the Israeli people went through. I’m not down playing what happened during the Jewish Holocaust, and I do understand that bad things have happened to people from all races and cultures; but if we were to create a human history chart listing the bad things that have happened to each nation, the scattered Africans would clearly be the ones who have suffered more than all nations. The media doesn’t make it seem this way, but I can prove it to you. To this very day, just by abortion alone, Africans (or Hebrew Israelites) are killed more than any other nation on earth. According to the Guttmacher Institute, abortion rates among black women are much higher than any other race. Their report found that an average of 41 in 1,000 pregnancies among black women (ages 15-19) are terminated compared to 10 in 1,000 among white women. This is in fact a result of intentional persecution. The founder of Planned Parenthood- Margaret Sanger stated, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” and here we are today still witnessing the fulfillment of Planned Parenthood’s main objective.

The Jews received financial rewards for the horrible experiences they went through. The scattered Africans, to this very day, still haven’t received any financial payout for the horrible experience of being treated as property and not human beings. Just to give you an example, some of the slave masters in the southern parts of America used African babies as bait in order to catch alligators. (References: Babies for crocodile bait, 1890, June 20^th, Roanoke Times, Image 3. Babies used for alligator bait in state of Florida, 1923, October 11^th, Atlanta Independence, p 1. Baits alligators with picaninnies, 1908, June 13^th, Washington Times p2). This is just one of many examples of how poorly the scattered Africans have been treated. There are many other stories I could share, but I’m not going to focus on that right now. If you’re not familiar with how the scattered Africans were treated, I encourage you to research it for yourselves, so that you can understand the history that has been overlooked by so many. I’m not saying that we should live/dwell in the past, but our history helps us to better understand the present and in turn change our future.

We are told here in America to “never forget” what happened on 9/11 (World Trade Terrorist attack), but yet many people want to forget about the enslavement of the scattered Africans who built this country with blood, sweat, and tears. Even the White House itself was built by African slaves. If you take the time to study the history, not only of the scattered Africans, but also the history of the Native Americans (including Latino people), you can begin to understand why some of these people have some hatred towards the “white man.” No one likes to be bullied. As I’ve stated before, I personally don’t have any hatred towards any race of people. The focus of what I’m sharing is not about one group of people being better than another. In the words of Morpheus in the movie The Matrix, “all I’m offering is the truth, nothing more.”

The control of the State of Israel:                                                  

There was a man by the name of Mayer Amschel Bauer who was born in Germany. He is the founder of the Rothschild family’s international banking dynasty. Bauer changed his name to Rothschild, and he is the reason why the hexagram is on the Jewish flag today. This hexagram was a sign or symbol of the Rothschild Dynasty, giving praise to the god that gave them their riches. Mayer Amschel Bauer came together with a man by the name of Adam Weishaupt, a man who was inwardly a Jew and outwardly a Roman Catholic. Together, Jew and Catholic, they created what many people know today as the “Illuminati,” which was not officially established until May 1^st, 1776. In 1785, the Bavarian government outlawed the Illuminati and tried to warn heads of churches and states throughout Europe. It seemed that the Illuminati ceased to exist after being outlawed, but in truth it actually went into secrecy and continued growing behind closed doors (Reference: Synagogue of Satan by Andrew Carrington Hitchcock)

Mayer Amschel Rothschild stated, “Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”

World domination was, and still is, their goal. The Rothschilds own 80% of the State of Israel. This is why it was important to have Rothschild’s sign/symbol on the flag.

RothsChild- “Rot,” is German for, “Red,” “Schild,” is German for, “Shield,” or, “Sign”.

The hexagram symbol: 6 points, 6 triangles, and 6 sides.

The Hexagram; Star of David by Catherine Beyer:

“The most common depiction of the hexagram is the Star of David, also known as the Magen David. This is the symbol on the flag of Israel, which Jews have been commonly using as a symbol of their faith for the last couple of centuries. This is also the symbol that multiple European communities have historically forced Jews to wear as identification, most notably by Nazi Germany in the 20th century. The evolution of the Star of David is unclear. In the Middle Ages, the hexagram was often referred to as the Seal of Solomon, referencing a Biblical king of Israel and son of King David. The hexagram also came to have Kabbalistic and occult meaning. In the 19th century, the Zionist movement adopted the symbol. Because of these multiple associations, some Jews, particularly some Orthodox Jews, do not use the Star of David as a symbol of faith.”

According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, the Star of David is actually the Star of Solomon, and this image was used in pagan practices.

“In medieval Jewish, Christian and Islamic legends, there was a magical signet ring said to have been possessed by King Solomon, which variously gave him the power to command demons, genies, or to speak with animals.” (Jewish Encyclopedia)

If this was really true, and Solomon was the wisest and richest man on earth who later turned away from God, then how much do you think satan (the adversary) was able to accomplish having the richest and wisest man on earth? It seems we’re seeing the results of this today. In regards to the hexagram symbol, I’m certainly not saying you should be afraid of this image. The image itself is not necessarily bad. The image was in existence way before it was considered the star of Solomon; it’s just that it was hijacked and used to represent evil.

There are so many people supporting this “Israel” that is not the same as the Israel the Bible speaks of. The book, “Synagogue of Satan” by Andrew Carrington Hitchcock explains how Jewish leaders misled the masses into supporting the Jews while they took over the world. They (Jewish Elites) arrogantly explained,

“We are Jews, and you are goyim (cattle), and we have been chosen by divine edict to rule over you and over the entire planet.”

In a booklet called, “The Hidden Tyranny,” (1976) it talks about how Harold Wallace Rosenthal was supposedly murdered for stating the following:

“Most Jews don’t like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer… and we are his chosen people.”

“We virtually get away with murder, and all the goy do is to talk about it, which is ineffective since we, the masters of propaganda, always publish a contradicting account.”

“Anytime truth comes forth which exposes us, we simply rally our forces — the ignorant Christians. They attack the crusaders even if they are members of their own families.”

Whenever someone shows a lack of support for this modern day Israel, that person is then referred to as an anti-semite even though these Jews are not from the descendants of Shem, which is where the word Semite originated. It is indeed ironic. It is true, as Harold Wallace Rosenthal declared, that most Christians, as well as many other religious and non-religious folks, are truly ignorant. I’m not saying that to be mean. There are so many of us that are too occupied with distractions in life, and as a result of this, we don’t give ourselves the time to truly question, challenge, and/or study what we’ve been taught to believe. The harsh reality is, there are Jews who secretly serve the adversary, and they see people who are not Jews as second class citizens. This, of course, is not true for all Jewish people. There are those, as Catherine Beyer mentioned, that are against the occult Jews, and they such as I, desire true peace on earth, good will towards all men.

 

The Virgin Birth

The Virgin Birth (Chapter 2 from my document, “Just a Man Crying Out in the Wilderness”)

Both the New Testament and the Koran (Quran) talk about Jesus in the following ways:

• He was born from a virgin
• He is the messiah
• He died and was resurrected

The Muslim religion is not much different from Christianity when it comes to these three aspects of Jesus the messiah. Here are some compatible passages about the messiah from the Koran and the New Testament:

Surah 3:42-48

‘O Mary, be obedient to thy Lord and prostrate thyself and worship the one God with those who worship HIM.’

This is of the tidings of things unseen which we reveal to thee. And thou was not with them when they cast their arrows, as to which of them should be the guardian of Mary, nor was thou with them when they disputed with one another.

When the angels said, ‘O Mary, ALLAH gives thee glad tidings of a son through a word from HIM; his name shall be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, honoured in this world and in the next, and of those who are granted nearness to God;

‘And he shall speak to the people in the cradle, and when of middle age, and he shall be of the righteous.

She said, ‘My Lord, how shall I have a son, when no man has touched me? He said, ‘Such is the way of ALLAH. HE creates what HE pleases. When HE decrees a thing HE says to it ‘Be,’ and it is…”

New Testament (NT):

Luke 1:28-32- And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

²⁹ And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

³⁰ And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

³¹ And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

³² He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David…

I just want to take the time to mention that the three major religions in the world, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, all refer to their Deity as a male, so I will continue to refer to God this way as we go through this document. Let’s look at another NT scripture regarding the virgin birth, and let’s search for the source of where this prophecy was from:

Matthew 1:20-23 “But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Bold mine)

Who was the prophet that spoke this prophecy referenced in Matthew? This prophecy was taken from the Tanahk (OT), Isaiah 7. In order to fully understand what the prophecy is about, we need to read through Isaiah 7 & 8 in context.

Is 7:1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. ² And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

³ Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field; ⁴ And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. ⁵ Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, ⁶ Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:

⁷ Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years (65 years) shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. (Bold mine)

In 931BC, we’re taught that Israel was divided into two Kingdoms: The Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. The Kingdom of Israel gathered with other nations in agreement to take over the Kingdom of Judah and establish their own King there. God sends His word to the King of Judah to let Him know that the throne of David (Ahaz, the King of Judah, was from the lineage of David) will still stand, and that God was going to give him a sign/confirmation.

Let’s continue reading Isaiah 7.

Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?  

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. (bold mine)

The word that was translated “virgin” was the word Ha-al’mah, which is often translated as “young woman.” Some may argue that “virgin” is the right translation, but even if we translate it as “virgin” and we continue to read through the scriptures in context, we will still be able to understand what the scripture is saying concerning this woman giving birth to Immanuel.

Let’s continue reading…

17- The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

¹⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. ¹⁹ And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

²⁰ In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

²¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

²² And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.

²³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns. ²⁴ With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. ²⁵ And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.

Isaiah 8:1-3- Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. (bold mine)

This “virgin” or “young woman” was Isaiah’s wife. They gave birth to the sign/confirmation that God is with the Kingdom of Judah.

Let’s read Isaiah 8:1-3 again, this time from the Complete Jewish Bible translation (www.biblegateway.com)

“Adonai said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it in easily readable letters; ‘Maher shalal, hash baz [the spoil hurries, the prey speeds along].’” ² I had it witnessed for me by reliable witnesses — Uriyah the cohen and Z’kharyahu the son of Y’verekhyahu. ³ Then I had sexual relations with my wife; she became pregnant and gave birth to a son; and Adonai said to me, “Name him Maher Shalal Hash Baz;” (Bold mine)

Let’s review what’s being said thus far, in regards to the sign God is sending. God says He will give the king of Judah a sign. The sign that he gives him starts with the birth of Isaiah’s son. Before the son grows old enough to understand the choice between good and evil, the child, along with everybody else (verse 22), will have to rely on milk and honey in order to survive, because the land will no longer be fruitful as it was before. Remember when God said, “In sixty-five years Efrayim (Ephraim) will be broken and will cease to be a people”? From the birth of the child, who is the beginning of the sign, to the destruction of Ephraim and his people, which is the end of the sign, will be 65 years. During the 65 years, God is going to use the child as proof to let the people of Judah know that God is with them (Immanuel means God is with us).

Let’s continue reading…

^4- For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria… (Bold mine)

Once again, God is confirming that the child will grow up in the midst of poverty, but he will be the sign of Immanuel. He will be a reminder to the people of Judah, that no matter the circumstance, God is with them.

5- The Lord spake also unto me again, saying,

⁶ Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;

⁷ Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks: ⁸ And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

God is going to allow the king of Assyria to take dominion, but God reminds the Kingdom of Judah, that He is with them.

“⁹ Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. ¹⁰ Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.”

The enemies will rise against the Kingdom of Judah, and the king of Assyria will take dominion in the land, BUT they will be broken in pieces. They will fall.

¹¹ For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, ¹² Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

¹³ Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. ¹⁴ And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁵ And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. ¹⁶ Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. ¹⁷ And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

¹⁸ Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

¹⁹ And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

²¹ And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

²² And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

Again, let’s review everything we’ve read thus far. The kingdom of Judah was threatened by their enemies. The throne of David was in jeopardy. God said he’s going to give His people a sign. Isaiah’s son was the beginning of the sign. The enemy took dominion of the land, but before the child, Immanuel, developed an understanding of good and evil, poverty began to take over the land. The Kingdom of Judah is encouraged to wait on the Lord, and to not follow the ways of the enemy, seeking their gods, because the 65-year prophesy will come to fruition.

Let’s continue:

Isaiah 9: 1-Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.

² The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

³ Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

⁴ For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

⁵ For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

⁷ Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Bold mine)

There will be a time of darkness, but as promised, the throne of David will stand. Who was the king sitting on the throne of David during this time? Ahaz was king. And who was the son of king Ahaz? Hezekiah was the son of Ahaz. King Ahaz was indeed a wicked king (read 2 Kings 16, OT), so why did God protect his throne? God protected his throne because of the promise He made to King David. King Hezekiah reigned after his father (the meaning of Hezekiah is “God is our strength”), and he was a righteous man (read 2 Kings 18). King Hezekiah got rid of all the pagan gods and restored God’s way (law) for the people to follow.

Let’s look at a few highlights in what we’ve read thus far…

Isaiah 7:14 was about Isaiah’s son who was seen as “Immanuel,” which means “God with us,” but the people didn’t interpret that as if to say Maher-shalal-hashbaz was God.

Isaiah 9:6 was about King Hezekiah, who was titled “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace,” but the people didn’t interpret that as if to say King Hezekiah was God. Even though Maher-shalal-hashbaz was called Immanuel and King Hezekiah was called the mighty God, the people knew they were simply reminders of God’s presence and power among them. The people were not worshipping and/or declaring that these men were God. These men became a messiah, or a deliverer for their people.

Isaiah 9:7 then declares the promise of Hezekiah’s throne ruling forever, but whose throne was Hezekiah sitting on? Isaiah 7, 8 and 9 was all about the protection of David’s throne. God was keeping His promise, not for Ahaz, and not for Hezekiah, but for David! Not only was king Ahaz a wicked king, but the people also went astray from God. This is why God allowed their enemies to take control, BUT because of the promise God made to King David, regarding his throne lasting forever, God still protected the throne of David. (Again, this is according to the teachings of the Old Testament)
