Who will be 'active' in the Millennium (the 1000 years of Revelation 20)


A reader writes:

Dear Nick, 

I have 2 companion Bibles.  They are both printed by "The LAMP PRESS Ltd., 6 OLD TOWN,  LONDON S.W.4".

I can find NO copyright date on them anywhere.  There is no reference to E.W. Bullinger anywhere that I can find.  After the APPENDIXES on the last page it says in very small print: 

PRINTED IN
GREAT BRITAIN
AT THE
UNIVERSITY PRESS
OXFORD
BY
CHARLES BATEY
PRINTER
TO THE
UNIVERSITY

They are bound in a RED hardbacked  cover with  THE COMPANION BIBLE  at the top of the spine and at the bottom of the spine LAMP PRESS 

I have used my companion bibles to study with SC and so far I have not noticed any discrepancies.  In the preface it says that "The text is that of the Authorized Version of the 1611 as published by the Revisers in their  "Parallel Bible" in 1885. 

Their bindings do not have the appearance of being new.  I found them both at a used christian book store for $30 & $35 each.  Is there anything specific that I could check in them for authenticity or verification for scriptures that are incorrect?

I have Bullinger's book on How to Study the Bible and came across his reference to  "rapture".   I also have a book called 6000 years of the Bible-G.S. Wegener.  It says Translated by Margaret Shenfield from 6000 Jahre und ein Buch copyright 1958 J. GG. Oncken Verlag Kassel.  This edition copyright 1963 by Thames and Hudson Ltd London  Designed by Ruth Rosenberg.

Printed in Great Britain for Harper & Row, Publishers, Incorporated.  For information address Harper & Row, Publishers, Indorporated, 49 East 33rd Street, New York 16, N.Y.  Library of Congress Catalog Card Number:  63-16406. 

After reading your information on the differing "versions" of the bible [Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God] and what I have heard PM say and some of the discussions I have had with one of my neices and my sister I am now more interested in learning how "reliable" my study materials are.  I also recently purchased a bible that simply says 1611 Bible on the front of it and I believe it has the apocrophya in it.  My daughter bought me a 1996 catholic bible.  She didn't realize that that is what version it is.  I have a Martin Luther bible printed in St. Louis 1885 in German that has the apocropha also. 

Many years ago a friend of mine gave me a copy of "Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion".  Another friend gave me "None dare call it conspiracy."  I have read much of what you have on your site and I have found so much more that keeps leading back to your site and to SC.  I know that you say that you don't agree totally with PM but it seems to me that you both teach very closely on the critical teachings.  With regards to the Millennium can you tell me.  Will every one be there EXCEPT satan and the 7000 who left their habitation.  Could you please clarify for me who will be there.  When I was in the WWCOG armstrong  they taught what was a confusion to me of resurrections and millennium doctrine that I still am not sure that I have the correct biblical teaching on it. 

I am thankful to God for putting people like you where people like me can learn from. 

I was led to SC and SC has led me to others that confirm the biblical truths that I have learned from the teachers I have had.

May God continue to guide and direct you and keep you in His protecting hands.

Answer:

Hi [Xxxxxx].  The Companion Bible has the correct King James Bible text.  Any King James Version (KJV) has the correct Biblical text.  The original 1611 King James Version Bible (so-called because it was published in 1611 A.D.) was in old English font and was difficult to read.  For instance, the letter "s" looked like an "f," making it difficult to read today (see facsimile at right, line three, "A psalm of David").  But the text itself is the same.

Facsimile of the 1611 "King James Version" Holy Bible,  at Psalm 23:1-6, showing the difficult to read text style.

    There were several "changes" from 1611 till today, but they were only in modernizing spellings and correcting minor typos and printer flaws—no Scripture was added or removed from 1611 to 2008.

    Concerning the Apocrypha: the original 1611 KJV (which at that time of its origin wasn't called the "King James Bible," but was simply called the name which graced its cover, "The Holy Bible."  It only became referred to as the "King James Bible Version" after the other newer and different corrupt Bible versions came out.) had the apocryphal books as an appendix between the Old and New Testaments.  These Apocrypha books were not placed in the usual position within the Old Testament's various books, as they are today in Catholic Bibles.   This may indicate that the editors of the KJV did not support the Apocrypha as being valid Scripture.  Later these Apocrypha books were not incorporated in newer reprints of the KJV.  This is what Bible-deniers are referring to when they say that "the Bible dropped many books out", or "they changed the Bible."  And for whatever it may or may not be worth, the Judaics do not have these Apocrypha books in their Hebrew Bibles (the Old Testament, called by them the Tanakh; also spelled variously as Tenakh, Teneck, and Tanak), and never did.

    So, other than that, you are reading the same text today in new reprints of the King James Bible Version that was originally translated from the Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew in 1604-1611 when the KJV was begun and published. 

    A note on Bullinger's notes:  He states that "this word is not in the oldest manuscripts", etc, in many places throughout his footnotes.  What he is saying is that it was not in the manuscripts of the newer Bible versions, he was not saying that they weren't in the oldest KJV Bibles.  Unfortunately, Bullinger didn't have the information advantage that we now have regarding the corruption of those "older" manuscripts.  (They weren't "older," they were just older copies of a corrupt text type than we have copies of the true text type.  The true text is the Textus Receptus, and is the manuscript for the KJV's New Testament.  The ones that Bullinger was referring to as "older" are known today as the Nestles text, etc.  Also note that all of this only pertains to the New Testament; for the controversy is only with the Greek manuscripts.  This is explained in great depth in our:  Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God 

    Sadly, Mr. Bullinger was leaning towards lending support for these newer "older" corrupted texts, and this is perhaps the greatest mar on an otherwise brilliant Bible scholar's career (in my opinion). 

    As regarding the lack of Bullinger's name on your older copy of the Companion Bible:  Bullinger never wanted his name on the Bible.  Out of humbleness he published it without including his name, though everyone knew he wrote it because he had subscribers pre-financing his version as a means to pay for the production.  So he didn't leave his name off for any sinister reason, or anything like that.  Later, after his death, and against his wishes, reprints of his Bible version began to bear his name.  Also of interest perhaps, is the fact that the Companion Bible was originally published in five volumes over several years time, and that the last volume, which contains the whole of the New Testament, was published posthumously from his notes.  It is reported that at the time of his death he was almost finished with the New Testament (volume 5 of 5) and that his assistants completed the word from his completed notes.

THE MILLENNIUM

    Regarding the Millennium: as you know, the Millennium is a term used by Bible scholars to refer to the thousand year period of time spoken of in revelation chapter twenty.  During the beginning of the Millennium those "present" (active, alive, so to speak) will be: 1), all martyrs, from both Old and New Testaments, including the Tribulation martyrs; 2), those true Christians who were alive at "His coming" (at the 2nd Advent), which naturally had not taken the mark of the beast, and which had actually never died a flesh death but were resurrected into their spiritual bodies by Christ, who shall "ever be with the Lord", as per 2nd Thes 4:17; 3), and finally, those who "died in Christ" (i.e., were Christians when they had died) as per 2nd Thes 4:16.   these all are guaranteed salvation and do not have a change of "failing" on Judgment day; for, it is written of them, "on such the second death hath no power" (Rev 20:6).  These are all included with those who are spoken of as participating in the first resurrection: "this is the first resurrection" - (Rev 20:5), a point I shall document shortly.

    In other words, the first part of Revelation chapter twenty, which is the Millennium (the "thousand years"), will be filled with a whole bunch of Christian folks along with the martyrs of God from back to all time.  In other words, God's people—the new Israel, spiritual "Israel."  (Now perhaps you can understand why Judaics hate Christianity and Jesus Christ.)

SALVATION

    You will recall that salvation in the Old Testament depended on one being an Israelite in good standing (and presumably strangers who followed the Old Testament Law would be saved as well).  But in the New Testament (i.e., the New Covenant), salvation was opened to all through Jesus Christ.  So that the make-up of the saved from all time—but not necessarily participating in the Millennium—is: 1), Israelites in good standing from the Old Testament times (if they receive "a passing grade" on Judgment Day); 2), Christians in good standing (if they receive "a passing grade" on Judgment Day); 3), others who are judged to Heaven on the Judgment Day of Rev 20:11-15. 4), and some non-Israelites in Old Testament times who converted to the religion delivered by God through Moses (if they receive "a passing grade" on Judgment Day).  This religion was definitely not what we today know as Judaism.  Judaism is the Talmudic opposite of the religion of the Old Testament.

    Though it is not written, one may assume that those who died in good standing before the religion of God was revealed through Moses (like, say, Adam & Eve, Noah, Abraham, etc.) would also be saved.  But this is only a deduction on my part; but a good one, I suspect.

    I realize that some of this is somewhat different than the good pastor teaches.  My documentation regarding the participants in the Millennium can be discerned in the below two Scriptures read as one; or rather, read as two accounts of the same general incident (i.e., the first resurrection):

At the Second Advent:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first
[this is a 1st resurrection participant (1st Res.)]:
17 Then we
[Christians] which are alive and remain [1st Res. (actually they never even ever die a flesh death)] shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. KJV

    Those who believe in the false Rapture doctrine think that the above Scripture is describing their Rapture.  But they are wrong; very, very wrong.  (See our: The Rapture Theory; What Does God's Word Say About It?)  Now look at the other Scripture below which takes the events of the above Scripture and speak with much more detail:

Shortly after, or almost immediately at, the Second Advent:

Revelation 20:1-6
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years
[this is why we call it "the Millennium"] should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus
[1st Res. (New Testament martyrs, including Tribulation martyrs)], and for the word of God [1st Res. (Old Testament martyrs)], and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands [1st Res. (these are they of 1st Thes 4:17 above)]; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished
[see further below for these]. This [those of verse 4] is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death
[in the Lake of Fire in Rev 20:14-15] hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.  KJV

    Clearly, those of 1st Thes 4:17a are the same as those spoken of in Rev 20:4b.  Observe:

"Then we which are alive and remain [at the 2nd Advent]" — (1st Thes 4:17a)

"...and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands" — (Rev 20:4)

    The reason that it is clear they they are one in the same people is the fact that for those Christians to have been taken lovingly to the Lord at the Second Advent (1st Thes 4:17), they could not possibly have taken the mark of the beast.  Ergo, those in Rev 20 who did not take the mark of the beast are one in the same with those in 1st Thes who did not take the mark.  And understand that the only time in the history of the world where it would be possibly to take the mark of the beast would be during the Tribulation.  Also, since those "who are alive and remain" (1st Thes 4:17) up to the Second Advent never die; what will we do with them, have them killed after they "meet the Lord in the air"?  No, of course not, they are said to "ever be with the Lord."  And the Lord is in the Millennium (Rev 20:6 - "shall reign with him [Christ] a thousand years"), so that they are where Christ is—in the Millennium.

    Also, please understand that just because one is not in the Millennium it does not mean that they are damned.  There is still Judgment Day where that decision shall be made.  Many shall be granted eternal life at Judgment day, many shall "fail."  The reason that those who are in the Millennium are even in the Millennium is because they have absolutely no chance of failing on Judgment day:

Revelation 20:6
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. KJV

    And what is this "second death"?  It is the death of the soul in the Lake of Fire.  These are seen here:

Revelation 20:14-15
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.  KJV

    This happens after Judgment Day.  Thus, those who have died in the past, and who God knows are not going to "pass" Judgment Day, remain dead (asleep, inactive, unconscious, or however you want to understand it) until the end of the Millennium, where they are risen (resurrected) to be judged and destroyed, as Daniel stated in the Old Testament:

Daniel 12:2
2 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.  KJV

    Now, this is another resurrection, though it is not clearly defined so by language.  Obviously there is another resurrection (at least one more)  because of the wording in Rev 20:5, "this is the first resurrection."  A "first" means that there is necessarily is at least one more, even several.  Earlier in my notes I mentioned that I would address those people of Rev 20:5, which reads: "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished".  Who are these "the rest of the dead [deceased]"?  They are another group of souls (people) who are resurrected after the first resurrection but before Judgment Day.  They are those whom serve satan in the final assault of God's people in Rev 20:9, and who are devoured by God Himself with fire (Scripture shown below).  These truly are the damned!  And though the terminology is not present calling it "another resurrection," below is them and their resurrection.  I shall then go on a little further down to state my case as to this being another resurrection.

Revelation 20:7-8
7 And when the thousand years are expired
[over], Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations
[these are this other resurrection group of whom I am speaking] which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.  KJV

    Not to change the subject but, you will notice that this is on the Earth.  But what many don't realize is that the Millennium also happens on the Earth.  This latter point can be documented by the next verse which has these on the earth—who are with the then-released satan—in the same place as God's people; that is, on the earth.  Ergo, the Millennium is on the Earth.  Observe:

Revelation 20:9
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.  KJV

   By the way, everything happens on the Earth.  The first Earth age (2nd Pet 3:5-6) happened here, we are here now (2nd Earth age of 2nd Pet 3:7), the Millennium will happen here, and Heaven (3rd Earth age of 2nd Pet 3:13) shall be here; "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth" (Rev 21:1a).

    My main point here, and my documentation that there is another resurrection, is that those who assist satan in Rev 20:8-9 after the Millennium had to still be dead at the time that God's people were resurrected before the Millennium in Rev 20:4-6.  that much is clear from the Scripture: "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished".  And thus, they also had to be resurrected, after the first resurrection, to join satan in this final assault.  My point is that there is more than one resurrection.  I could count as many as three resurrections: the saints of Rev 20:4-6, satan's damned minions (Rev 20:89), and the rest of the mass of humanity at Judgment Day (Rev 20: 11-15).  But in the spirit of full disclosure I hasten to add that the Bible does not specifically mention the latter resurrection(s) by calling them "resurrections"  These people "just show up" to take their part in prophecy.  Which doesn't mean that they weren't resurrected (they necessarily would have had to have been), it just means that I can't show you a Scripture that reads, "this is the second resurrection", or, "this is the third resurrection".  But I can show you where it says "this is the first resurrection" (Rev 20:5).

    I wonder if I answered your question?

    Reading the whole twentieth chapter bearing the above in mind may clear up some difficulties:

Revelation 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.  KJV

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Eve, "the mother of all living"?  And: separate and distinct (different) races at a very early date.

 

A reader writes:

After reading your Bible study I still have a couple of questions. I have heard of this teaching and I have studied on it before. I have to say that it is convincing but still, there are a few pieces of the puzzle that I can't figure out. 1) In Ch 3:2 when Eve states that they can partake of the other trees in the garden but not the tree in the midst of the garden. What is she saying that it is alright to do? If trees always represent people in the Bible and if eating of the fruit means having sex was she saying that it was alright to have sex with the other people that were there just not with the forbidden tree (Satan). 2) I don't fully understand what Adam's sin was if he didn't have sex as well. The scripture says that she gave it unto him and he did eat. I know what the scripture in Timothy says about Eve being in the transgression and I don't fully understand that. 3) If there was two creations of people Adam and Eve being the second of the two creations of people. What does the scripture mean when it says that Eve was the mother of all living. I am not trying to start an argument on this I actually lean more to this line of thinking but I just see a few holes in this that I cant fill in. I look forward to your reply.

 

God Bless

Answer:

Hello [Xxxxxxx].  We have a couple of Q & A's on the website that should answer most of your questions.  I will supply links to them below.  And regarding Eve being the "mother of all living," Eve became the mother of all the living (i.e., the saved) because it was through Eve's womb, umbilical cord to umbilical cord, that Christ Jesus would come of Mother Mary's womb.  And through this Jesus Christ all can be saved (live eternal).  The below Scripture hints at this interpretation:

1 Timothy 2:11-15
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she [Eve] shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.  KJV

    Surely Eve could not be the mother of all living creatures.  She wasn't the mother of the animal world and she wasn't the mother of other families.  Therefore, the phrase must be looked at as a metaphor.

Genesis 3:20
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.  KJV

    That Christ would come from her whom—that is to say down through a long line of her progeny's wombs—and that this Jesus Christ would in fact become life unto all whom believe upon Him, fits the metaphor or figure of speech perfectly.

    Probably the simplest and most undeniable evidence that there was more than one creation event—that is to say that there were separate races created and that not all races of men came down from Adam and Eve—is the fact that there are different races.  And we see these different races in Sumerian and early Egyptian paintings and carvings very early in the history of the world.  And to believe that the separate races all came down from Adam and Eve would be to believe in evolution.  The Bible does identify separate races, it's just that today's churches ignore or hide the fact for the purpose of "racial harmony" and egalitarianism; or tragically, for Political Correctness' sake.  The church therefore seeking the praise of men more than the praise of God.

Jeremiah 13:23 [Written circa 500 B.C.]
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.  KJV

    Pictographs and carvings in Egyptian monuments erected a scant few hundred years after Noah's Flood show captives in tow of at least four different races.  Now, if all races came from Adam (circa 4004 B.C.), and then again presumably again through Noah (circa 2450 B.C.)—for those who believe in a global flood, which I do not believe the Bible is describing—then how is it that the Negro and Asiatic races were known to the Egyptians so early?

    And early Sumerian (circa 3400 B.C. [only 600 years after Adam was formed].  *But see note below) and ancient Assyrian traditions hold that the Sumerians (a darker race), under the lead of a foreigner (Cain?) fought against a White race of men (Adam's tribes?).  What kind of "evolution" could work that fast and then abruptly stop changing?  It can't, evolution is a lie.  God created everything and every race just as it is today.

*Note:  Wikipedia Encyclopedia has an interesting comment on the Sumerians (the people of Sumer) relating to their early date.  Now, for whatever stock one may or may not put in the reliability of Wikipedia, the below sets Sumer's date at 6th millennium B.C., which would place it almost exactly at the creation date for the 6th day creation of Genesis chapter one; i.e., circa two thousand years prior to Adam at 4004 B.C.  Interesting confirmation from a non-Biblical and non-Christian source!

Sumer (Sumerian: 𒆠𒂗𒂠 ki-en-ĝir15[1][2], Akkadian: Šumeru; possibly Biblical Shinar ), located in southern Mesopotamia, is one of the earliest known civilizations in the world. It lasted from the first settlement of Eridu in the Ubaid period (late 6th millennium BC) through the Uruk period (4th millennium BC) and the Dynastic periods (3rd millennium BC) until the rise of Babylon in the early 2nd millennium BC. The term "Sumerian" applies to all speakers of the Sumerian language.

    Regarding your questions on Eve and the sin in the Garden of Eden, we have the below on our website:

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Fleeing to the wilderness



A reader writes:

I have been reading your website and have a few question regarding the rapture. I am confused about the scriptures that say that God will protect us but it seems that others say that the antichrist will hurt us. You talk of the armor that was can have against satan and that not a hair on our heads can be harmed which I really like the sound of that. But what about Rev 2:10 where it says some of us will be thrown into prisons and given 10 days tribulation. 10 days until they kill us? I am confused.

Now if the antichrist makes everyone take his mark (which I will not) that means my wife and I will not be able to buy or sell anything. What that means to me is that we will have to basically run and hide into the wilderness. And honestly I would rather starve to death that worship any antichrist.

I am just trying to prepare myself for the future to come and I see a large number of Christians aren't going to be able to survive off of any store bought foods like we are used to. I read your entire piece of the lack of a rapture and I really do believe that. [The Rapture Theory; What Does God's Word Say About It? ]  You use scripture in a literal sense and don't read between the lines like rapturists do. I am just a little confused about how we are to survive and not be harmed in these times. I know God has a plan for all of us but I have a feeling that it will be very very hard for us who keep God's armor on to even live in a time like this. At the same time I am prepared to die for Jesus as he did for all of us. Thanks for your time. Please E-mail me back if you have enough time. God Bless! Thanks, [Xxxxxx X.]


Answer:

Hello, you asked:

"But what about Rev 2:10 where it says some of us will be thrown into prisons and given 10 days tribulation. 10 days until they kill us? I am confused."

    Ten days before they kill them.  First let me say that some Christians shall be killed during the Tribulation, how many we are not told (see our: Scriptural Evidences That Christians Shall Die In The Great Tribulation); however, not all Christians shall be killed.  We know this by the simple fact that there are Christians alive on this Earth at the Second Advent of Christ; which is of course after or ending the Tribulation.  Observe:

1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
14 For if we
["we" = Christians; Paul is speaking to and of believers] believe that Jesus died and rose again [hence, Christian believers], even so them also which sleep [die] in Jesus [die believing upon Christ Jesus; i.e., those who were Christians at the time of their death] will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord
[not man's words, but the words of God Himself], that we [Christians] which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord [Second Advent] shall not prevent [precede] them which are asleep [deceased].
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
[until this Second Advent] shall be caught up together with them [the "dead in Christ"] in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.  KJV

    The above (Vrs. 17) is the first resurrection spoken on in Revelation chapter twenty.

Revelation 20:1-5
20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.  KJV

  Those in 1st Thessalonians above join the martyrs from your Rev 2:10 Scripture (and others killed during the Tribulation).  Below is your Rev 2:10 Scripture; and we can see by the precise wording that these are literally killed.  The Scripture cannot be taken any other way.  Observe;

Revelation 2:8-11
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.  KJV

    The mention of the second death in the above (Vrs. 11) indicates that the first death was literal.  I say this because many Christians seek to "spiritualize-away" (i.e., "this really means that on a 'spiritual level'", etc.) any Scripture pertaining to the death of endtime Christians.  Overcommers are promised that they shall not die the second death, but no such assurance is given regarding the first death.  The first death is the death of the body, the flesh; but the second death is the death of the soul in the Lake of Fire (which is what churchmen today erroneously refer to as "going to hell").  The Lake of Fire is the final destination of the damned.  They are blotted out; un-created, so too speak.  Only God can do this.  There is no eternal torture chamber for the damned.  "Hell" as understood by most Christians does not exist.  Oh, hell exists, mind you, but just not as they suppose it to be.  What they think hell is, is actually the Lake of Fire.  Observe how that hell is not the final destination of the damned:

Revelation 20:11-15
11 And I saw a great white throne
[this the famous Judgment Day], and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This
[the Lake of Fire] is the second death [reference with Rev 2:10 above].
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. KJV

    If hell is cast into another place then hell cannot be the final repository of the damned.  But since the term "hell" is universally understood as the final place of the damned, many use the term, including myself.  Literally, "hell" is the grave, the state and place of the deceased:

    "Hell" in the Hebrew of the Old Testament:

Hebrew word #7585  she'owl (sheh-ole'); or sheol (sheh-ole'); from OT:7592; Hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranean retreat), including its accessories and inmates: KJV - grave, hell, pit. (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

    "Hell" in the Greek of the New Testament:

Greek word #1067  geena (gheh'-en-nah); of Hebrew origin [OT:1516 and OT:2011]; valley of (the son of) Hinnom; ge-henna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: KJV - hell. (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

    Understanding the real meaning of hell will clear up many confusions regarding Scripture.  For instance, some (pastor Kenneth Copeland and his band of blasphemers, for instance) have taught that Jesus went to hell ("and was saved") after He died.  They say this because they cannot understand the below Scripture because they do not understand the true meaning of the Biblical use of the word hell:

Acts 2:31
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul
[here this is 'body,' see definitions below] was not left in hell [the grave], neither his flesh did see corruption [decomposition].  KJV

soul:  Greek word #5590  psuche (psoo-khay'); from NT:5594; breath, i.e. (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from NT:4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from NT:2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew OT:5315, OT:7307 and OT:2416): KJV - heart (+-ily), life, mind, soul, us, you.

Hebrew word #5315nephesh (neh'-fesh); from OT:5314; properly, a breathing creature, i.e. animal of (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental): KJV - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, dead (-ly), desire, [dis-] contented, fish, ghost, greedy, he, heart (-y), (hath, jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortally, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thyself-), them (your)- selves, slay, soul, tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, would have it.

    All Acts 2:31 above is saying is that Jesus resurrected and His body did not decompose in a grave.  Jesus is one of only three who walked this earth yet left no physical remains (not counting God, satan, the fallen angels, or spirits and angels, of course).  The other two being Enoch and Elijah who were taken up into heaven bodily whilst still alive.  So Jesus is the only One to die on this Earth yet leave no remains.  For Jesus is not dead, He resurrected.  This Jesus stated: "Fear not; I am the first and the last:  I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Rev 1:17b-18).  Even the several in the Bible whom were resurrected (five?, seven?) would go on to later die again and were buried, except Jesus.

    The Catholics have an old wives' tale that Mother Mary's body was likewise taken up to Heaven, but there is no Scripture to support this; the Catholic hierarchy made things like this up to give goddess-status to Christ's blessed mother.  The Catholics are ever trying to attribute to Mother Mary the attributes and station of Jesus Christ. This is idolatry and blasphemytwo main pillars of the Catholic Church Universal.  And don't forget that the Catholic Church (under among other crypto-Jews, the Judaic inquisitor, Tomás de Torquemada [1420–1498], for instance) killed more professing Christians than did the pagan Romans.  Many more suffered the auto de fé under the Inquisitions than who suffered the lions of the Roman coliseum.

    Nevertheless, after Jesus died on the cross and before He resurrected, He did go to the "spirits in prison" (which is not the Greek word for "hell") and preached to them:

1 Peter 3:18-20
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.  KJV

prison: Greek word #5438  phulake (foo-lak-ay'); from NT:5442; a guarding or (concretely, guard), the act, the person; figuratively, the place, the condition, or (specifically) the time (as a division of day or night), literally or figuratively:  KJV - cage, hold, (im-) prison (-ment), ward, watch. (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

    This "prison" is not "hell," but rather is a special place of holding, of which we are told next to nothing.  Moving on...

    Now, where you said,

"...the antichrist makes everyone take his mark (which I will not) that means my wife and I will not be able to buy or sell anything. What that means to me is that we will have to basically run and hide into the wilderness.",

I refer you to:

Revelation 12:6
6 And the woman
[representative of God's people; Israel in the Old Testament, superseded by Christians in the New Testament] fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days [i.e., 1260 days; i.e., 42 months; i.e., 3½ years; i.e., the first "half" (segment) of the Tribulation]. KJV

Revelation 12:14
14 And to the woman
[same as above; God's people, bride of Christ if you will] were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time [ originally: time (1 year), times 92 years, and half a time (½ year) totaling 3½ years. However, the time was shortened (Mat 24:22) from Daniel's prophecy (Dan 12:7 )to an unstated amount of time, now thought to be 5 months (Rev 9:5-11).  This is the second "half" (segment) of the Tribulation], from the face of the serpent. KJV

    The term "wilderness" is used in the Bible to refer to any place that is not widely inhabited; it is any location that is either unpopulated or sparsely populated.  Some examples of "wilderness" in Scripture, whereby we may glean information regarding the definition of a "wilderness" as used in the Bible, may be found in the below selected several verses:

Matthew 3:1
3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,  KJV

Matthew 15:33
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?  KJV

Mark 1:4
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.  KJV

Luke 3:2
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.  KJV

Luke 5:16
16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.  KJV

Luke 8:29
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)  KJV

John 11:54
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.  KJV

    So we see that a "wilderness" is basically the opposite of a city or major metropolitan area—and not necessarily "the ends of the earth," or some uninhabitable region.

    The rest of your answer has to do with preparations, the laying aside of provisions, having a safe place to go to.  This includes storing dried foods, grains, beans; home canning; civilian-available freeze-dried military rations (MRE's—Meals Ready to Eat); plantable seeds (not the International Judaic's [the Jewish family, Monsanto Chemical Family's] patented "terminator seeds" which produce sterile plants that cannot reproduce from their seed); etc.  I have addressed more fully these concerns in another Q&A (question and answer) titled, Provisions for the Tribulation; which, at the time of this writing has not yet been posted on the website.  Therefore I shall excerpt the final several paragraphs which you may find helpful:

...So, prepare.  There are always survivors of any great affliction. 

    Those in the cities shall fare the worst.  Those in more sparsely populated areas—but who haven't laid aside provisions—shall be safe but hungry. 

    Don't be reactive, be proactive; don't be idle.  Do something, and God will do for you that which you cannot do.  But so many Christians today—whether out of disbelief in all that the prophets have written, or due to laziness—are content to sit on their duffs and expect God to do every little thing for them.  What examples have we from Scripture?  Well, we are told to flee.  "Flee" is an action word, it is a verb; it means that we have to do something.  Observe: "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another..." (Mat 10:23a).  And in another place: "Then let them which be in Judaea flee to the mountains..." (Luke 21:21a). 

    I stress this because many Christians feel that it is a lack of faith to prepare, believing that God will help them in the troublous time.  Well and good; however, what if the forewarning was the help? 

    And remember, faithful men took action against calamity.  For instance, Joseph set aside corn for seven years against the coming famine; Noah built a boat; Lot walked out of Sodom; David fled the murderous king; Jesus "would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him." (John 7:1b).  Do something, be active, work, try, do.  A word to the wise is sufficient.

re·ac·tive (rē-ăktĭv) adj.
1. Tending to be responsive or to react to a stimulus. 2. Characterized by reaction. 3. Chemistry & Physics Tending to participate readily in reactions.

pro·ac·tive or pro-ac·tive (prō-ăktĭv) adj.
Acting in advance to deal with an expected difficulty; anticipatory: proactive steps to prevent terrorism.

    You may find the entire above Q&A under the title, Provisions for the Tribulation, [Question #6 below] when I get to posting a new batch of Q&As.

    I cannot stress it enough: prepare, Christians, prepare.  And as always: watch, watchmen, watch.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

How to quick-check if your Bible version has the correct manuscript type

 

A reader writes:

I see one of the Bible's you recommend is the Thomas Nelson KJV Reference Bible. I went to Barnes&Noble and looked at it but I thought the margins were to small and bought the "study Bible" version of the Thomas Nelson KJV. Do you see any drawbacks in my decision? Thank you for your input, I appreciate.  [Xxxx Xxxxxxx]


Answer:
 

    Hello [Xxxxx].  I am not familiar with that exact printing.  But if it faithfully has the text of the King James translation then it should be A-OK.  Now, if they have added any notes, references, cross-references, critical apparatus, or footnotes, etc., as many Bibles do, just know to balance them in your mind that they are simply the opinions of the publisher, and might not be actual Scriptural truth, per sey.

    The main thing is that you have the King James version text.  As to why this is so very important, see our: Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God

    The quickest way to check any Bible version for faithful accuracy, is to make sure that your Bible reads the same as the below King James version Scripture (many corrupted "newer, more easy to understand" Bible versions chop this witness to the Divinity of Jesus Christ right out of the Word of God).  And yes, there will be hell to pay for them doing that:

King James Version:

1 John 5:5-9
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.  KJV

    Example, below is how the corrupt—but most popular newer Bible version—the NIV, has destroyed the Word of God in an attempt to deny the Divinity of Messiah Jesus Christ:

***Bad versions below***

New International Version:

1 John 5:7-8
7 For there are three that testify:
8 the  Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.  NIV

American Standard Version:

1 John 5:7-8
7 And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.  ASV

New Living Translation:

1 John 5:7-9
7 So we have these three witnesses—
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and all three agree.  NLT

    And that is only one of thousands of evil alterations made by the "editors" of the "newer Bible versions."  Why are they all united against the King James Bible text-type?  Because they all are based upon the same corrupted manuscripts, Adamantius Origen's (Oregenes Adamantius) perversion assembled in the third century A.D.  But the King James Bible is from the trustworthy Textus Receptus New Testament manuscript.  See our: Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Racism and Barack Obama

 

A (Black female) reader writes:

Hi Nick, I have been studying with your site for a few years now, and I must say that some of the info can throw some people when they first read it. But your site has prompted me to do a lot of independent research and I have found the info presented to be well documented. I am a black female and wrote to you before and agreed with your views on the state of blacks today. However, I truely did not know the level of resentment and hatred that some black people have for the white race.

Barack running for president has definitely sparked a lot of dialogue with black folks. Most black people say they will vote for him simply because he is black. During this dialogue, I have heard some of the most racist, hypocratic comments come out of peoples mouths that I might have considered to be decent. The worse part is that some of these people consider themselves christian. I am certain that the average black has some harsh, internal feelings about white people.

Even more sad is that the more I get into deep conversations about the Bible with my people, I am finding that christianity is just church for us. Most of us don't believe what the Word says. Basically, I gathered that blacks internally feel that christianity is the white man's religion and was given to us. Furthermore, I keep hearing this reoccurring theme that white people are still trying to "get us" and hold us back. My heart has been truly burdened after realizing how my people feel.


Answer:

    Hello.  Thank you for the kind words.  I have long known (and have written) that things are not as they seem; or better stated, they are not as they are made to be seen.  The general perception is that Whites generally are racist and that Blacks generally are the victims of that racism.  This is not the case.  The overwhelming majority of Whites are not racist, and the majority of Blacks are racist.  This is the exact opposite of what we are all told.  Of course you have to take into consideration just what exactly one wants to make to be racism or not to be racism.  In other words, if a White man doesn't want his daughter to date a Black man, does this make him a racist?  Racial yes, but racist, no.  Today, for a White person to simply remark that Blacks and Whites are different it is considered to be evidence that the White is a racist for saying that.  Never mind that every honest eye can see that he is correct.  But being right does not exclude one from being considered racist.  This is Political Correctness, and it is a tactic to control the people, all people.

    Black pride, Latino pride—even Gay pride—are all considered to be positive things; but White pride is considered to be evil, bigoted, "Klan like."  Why is this?  Why is it a social sin for a White person to be happy about who they are, positive about their heritage, and proud of their successful ancestors who built the modern world?  Why is it "racist" for a White person to want to have grandchildren that are and look like them?  Why is it that the world is only happy with White people when they are hating themselves?  I know the answer; for, I know the long range plan of the International Judaics.

    And as you have observed, Barack Obama's candidacy has exposed the inherent racism residing in most Black people.  Even Oprah Winfrey chose loyalty to race over loyalty to gender—and she's a poster child for Feminism!  As I write this, Fox News is reporting and presenting a statement from Oprah Winfrey wherein she states that she will not allow Sarah Palin to be a guest on her show, even though many have asked her to.  What can we make of that other than that she doesn't want to hurt her Black candidate by giving the woman candidate publicity.  Oprah is not a friend to women, her loyalty lies rather to race over all else.

    In the hierarchy of Political Correctness "protected groups," race trumps sexual preference which trumps gender; or, in other words, in the Liberal (Socialist) spectrum of America, Blacks come first, Homosexuals second, and women third.  Consider this: who would have ever thought that Oprah would vote against and work against the first female Presidential Candidate (Rodham-Clinton) and the first female Vice-Presidential Candidate (Palin)?  Before Obama came along nobody would have believed it.

    And If Obama was White he would not be a Presidential Candidate so early in his career.  Could you imagine a plan-less Jr. Senator running for President—and being supported by 85% of the Democratic Party, and not a few of the party-less and Republicans?  Not if he was White, you wouldn't.  Or for that matter, do you think that the hitherto unknown Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin would be chosen if she were male?  Of course not, she was chosen for her gender.  Regardless of her substance.  And I am impressed with her decency and "old fashioned" views (made "old fashioned" by the you-know-whos), assuming that she is sincere.  Though she was whisked away the day before her nomination to get the Judaic's approval from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee).  See:

Palin meets with AIPAC

Palin at AIPAC: That Didn’t Take Long

    And below we see that VP candidate Palin keeps an Israeli flag in her office:

GOP Jews Defend Palin: She Has An Israeli Flag!

    And see a video of the Israeli flag in her Alaskan Governor's office:

Sarah Palin Has an Israeli Flag in Her Office!

(Copy of video archived in case of "disappearance")

(Notice in 2:40 minutes the Israeli flag on the right hand side where her window is.)

 

    So she is Judaic-controlled (and I suspect Jewish herself) just as all the other players in this election are controlled by the International Judaics who own this nation lock, stock, and barrel.  That will never change—until the end—when Christ sets things right with "extreme prejudice," if you understand my metaphor.

    But what is happening here with this 2009 Presidential run is that the attitude is "anything but a White male."  Obama is popular and was selected because he is not a White male.  Palin was selected and is welcomed because she is not a White male.  Contrary to popular misconception, Racism and Sexism are acceptable in America, as long as it is the "right kind" of Racism and Sexism; i.e., anti-White Male Racism and Sexism.  Same thing for "Homophobia" and "AntiSemitism" and any other movements that are in opposition to the hated and archaic Strait White Christian Male—the only unprotected group in America and abroad.  And when they praise and clamor for "diversity," they mean "anything other than Strait White Christian Males."

    White males, who built this great nation—and without whom it will collapse as did South Africa and the other post-Apartheid African nations—are being pushed out the door little by little.  And some White males resent this.  Does that make them "racist" or "sexist"?  No, it makes them survivors.  It is a human instinct to want to continue on and to not perish.  Now, I know that you are a fine Black Christian woman, but try for a moment to look at this through the eyes of a White person.  What if, say, aliens from Mars came here and slowly over time started replacing humans with Martians?  And what if then all humans were automatically presumed to be species-ists, and laws were made to force Martians above and over humans?  And that soon it was considered more hip and fair to be a Martian, and "guilty" to be a human?  And the children in school were taught that humans have done incredible wrong to Martians, and that one of the biggest problems is that humans are bad, mean-spirited people who only enjoy holding down the victimized Martians.  Human women are then encouraged to take Martian husbands, thus ensuring that the Human race will be diluted out, giving way to the final makeover where the planet is now populated by Martians, the humans over time completely distilled out.  Your great, great grandchildren are all Martians; what you were ceased to exist.  Would you as a human not feel threatened, and rightly so?  The "funny" thing is that most White people today haven't figured this out.  Or they are afraid to say it if they have noticed it.  White Liberals (closeted Socialists) in particular haven't figured out that most every major platform of their Democratic party is an instrument to destroy the Strait White Christian Male and his future generations.  Also virtually unknown to Black people today is the fact that Slavery was a Democratic Party platform—and that it was the Republican Party that opposed Slavery.  Oh how the truth has been skewed!  The ultimate goal of the International Judaics, and which we have copies of leaked documents, is the replacement of White people with people of color, who will all then be controlled by the Judaics.  That plan is well under way not only in America, but also where their White (true Israel) brethren have also settled, in all of Europe.

   Says who, you ask?  Says the conspirators themselves.  Observe from almost a hundred years ago their plan, which we are seeing being fulfilled right before our eyes today.  Jewish author, Israel Cohen wrote in 1912 that:

We must realize that our party's [Communist Party's] most powerful weapon is racial tension. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries that they have been oppressed by the whites, we can move them to the program of the communist party. In America; we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites; we will instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negroes. We will aid the Negroes to rise to prominence in every walk of life, in the professions, and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige; the Negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause.”  A Racial Program for the 20th Century, written by Jewish author Israel Cohen in 1912 and which was quoted by Congressman Abernathy in open session on the Congress floor and entered into the Congressional Record (Vol. 103, p. 8559, June 7, 1957).

    Bear in mind that the Jewish Elders claim responsibility for Communism and they turned Russia into a Communist nation in 1917, all according to the plan outlined in their Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion.  So the above is the plan of the Jewish Elders (International Judaics) illustrated as being worked by their Communist arm.  They also control the Capitalist system, pitting Communism and Capitalisms in a global divide-and-conquer.  And no, Communism is not dead, and Russia is veering back towards Communism and is arming itself as we speak.  The Bear is rising and watch out when she's ready!  Do you think that Capitalist America (the Israel of prophecy because the true Israel people are there) can stand against the two Communist nations of Russia and China?  Not without God's help.  But America (and the rest of the Christian Western nations) are kicking God out of their countries. Why would the Christian Western Nations embark on such a suicidal mission?  Because the Judaics running and controlling those nations are doing it from places of power behind the scenes.  But of late they are coming out.  Even once-Christian France now openly has a Jewish president (Nicolas Sarkozy).  Though the Judaic-controlled global media speaks not about it.  Too bad the French don't know that the International Judaics caused their French Revolution of 1789, and have never let go of the country since.  Many Russians today are learning that the international Judaics caused their 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.  Seeing a pattern here?  They also cause the revolutions in Germany, Spain, the American Revolution, etc, etc, etc.  The "Jews" are the revolutionaries of the world.  Upon this they brag in closed circles.  I can quote them for you if you like.  But let this suffice for time's sake:

[13.] We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the GOYIM to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.

[14.] When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and indulgences are yielded it, in the same name of freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come upon a host of stumbling blocks. IT HAS RUSHED TO FIND A GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER HAD THE SENSE TO RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has laid down its plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was we who gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands.

[15.] Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favor of that KING-DESPOT OF THE BLOOD OF ZION, WHOM WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORLD.

Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, Protocol № 3, ¶ 13-15. Probably written in 1884, delivered by speech in 1897, but published in 1901 (The Protocols of…Zion were also delivered as the minutes of the First Zionist Congress held at Basle, Switzerland, in 1897, under the presidency of the "father of Modern Zionism," the late Theodore Herzl.) A copy of the Protocols of…Zion is in the British Museum today bearing the date of its reception, August 10, 1906.

    Will Whites wake up?  No, they have been beaten down and conquered, and today are more likely to betray each other than to unite to protect their interests, families, and future generations.  For a White to even complain is seen as racism.  No doubt some will read this article here and call me a racist, though all I am doing is telling the truth.  This was all planned expertly by the master manipulators, the satanic International Judaics.  And to the harm of the entire world—regardless of race—the only ones (the true Israel peoples [most of the Whites {Anglo-Saxons} in the world]) that had the wherewithal to stand up against the false "Jews" have been defeated in a war without bullets.  I say, "the entire world—regardless of race", because the goal is the entire world, America is already a poker chip in the International Judaic's pile.  Currently the serpent is working on the Russian Federation, just as they did when it was called the Russian Kingdom under a Christian Monarchy at the turn of last century when it was turned into the Godless Communist hell-hole called the Soviet Union.

    And make no mistake about it, the "Jews" will treat the Blacks no better than the Whites used to—far, far from it.  In fact, other Blacks treat Blacks worse than Whites do.  Contrary to popular misconception, and Jewish-fetched Black slavery aside (see, Who Brought the Slaves to America?),  Blacks have no better friend in this world than Whites.  Whites feed a large portion of the Blacks world-wide.  Oprah, on the other hand—the richest Black in the world—hasn't fed a soul that wasn't beneficial to her.  And the Whites Christianized the Blacks (converted them to Christianity as TRUE Israel was prophesied to do), turning them from hell-bound African Voodoo to eternal-life Christianity, thus helping their very souls.  Whites are a make-believe enemy; by clever propaganda and misinformation, the "Jews" have succeeded in constructing an irreparable breach between the goyim (Talmudic pejorative meaning sub-human animals, human cattle at best); that is to say between all non-Jews, between the Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics, etc.  This divide-and-conquer tactic is making way for the overthrow of all non-Jewish people by the International Judaics.  And at the last, the everyday average Judaics shall be overthrown by the Learned Elders of Zion (the International Judaics).  Read the true document, the Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion for witness of these things.

    So don't blame all of the false "Jews," they don't know any better.  Oh, they're all false "Jews," all right; but they are not all conspirators; most of them are just as big of a victim as the goyim—actually worse, for their very souls have been stolen into hell-bound Judaism.  They have been lied to and told that they are actually and literally the real descendents of God's chosen people, Israel, and that because of that they are Heaven-bound.  Whereas, nothing could be further from the truth.  They are the children of the Khazars, a Turko-Mongoloid people from the bottom of Russia whose original religion before converting to Judaism was occult Phallic Worship.  A phallus is the erect male sexual organ, seen by pagans as the generator of life, that from which life springs; therefore worshipped as a creative god.  Their religious rites were obscene, to say the least.  And I am speaking quite literally here, this is also confirmed among other places by the converted Jew, Benjamin Freedman who, in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., gave a speech which is now a book, wherein this (Christian convert) Judaic stated to a gathering of America patriots during a time of heightened concern over Communism in America:

...What are the facts about the Jews? (I call them Jews to you, because they are known as Jews. I don't call them Jews myself. I refer to them as so-called Jews, because I know what they are.) The eastern European Jews, who form 92 per cent of the world's population of those people who call themselves Jews, were originally Khazars. They were a warlike tribe who lived deep in the heart of Asia. And they were so warlike that even the Asiatics drove them out of Asia into eastern Europe. They set up a large Khazar kingdom of 800,000 square miles. At the time, Russia did not exist, nor did many other European countries. The Khazar kingdom was the biggest country in all Europe -- so big and so powerful that when the other monarchs wanted to go to war, the Khazars would lend them 40,000 soldiers. That's how big and powerful they were.

They were phallic worshippers, which is filthy and I do not want to go into the details of that now.

But that was their religion, as it was also the religion of many other pagans and barbarians elsewhere in the world. The Khazar king became so disgusted with the degeneracy of his kingdom that he decided to adopt a so-called monotheistic faith -- either Christianity, Islam, or what is known today as Judaism, which is really Talmudism. By spinning a top, and calling out “eeny, meeny, miney, moe,” he picked out so-called Judaism. And that became the state religion. He sent down to the Talmudic schools of Pumbedita and Sura [in Babylon, whence sprang the demonic Jewish Babylonian Talmud] and brought up thousands of rabbis, and opened up synagogues and schools, and his people became what we call Jews. There wasn't one of them who had an ancestor who ever put a toe in the Holy Land.

Not only in Old Testament history, but back to the beginning of time. Not one of them! And yet they come to the Christians and ask us to support their armed insurrections in Palestine by saying, “You want to help repatriate God's Chosen People to their Promised Land, their ancestral home, don't you? It's your Christian duty. We gave you one of our boys as your Lord and Savior.... — Source: A Jewish Defector Warns America. By Benjamin H. Freedman.

    So much for the "God's Chosen People" myth with which the lion's share of modern day so-called Christianity (Judeo-Christianity) entertains themselves.

    I do not exaggerate when I state that most everything we know from and of this world is false and a lie.  Thus, Political Correctness is the new Gospel; "Judeo-Christianity" (an impossible contradiction in religions unnaturally joined together) is the new Christianity; wolves and Jewish-trained clergy are the new preachers; right is wrong, up is down; good is evil and evil good; and Homosexuality, Lesbianism, BiSexuality, CrossDressing, are good, and "Homophobia" is bad—even though God Himself would be called a Homophobe for Leviticus 20:13 alone.  But "we" don't go by God's Law anymore; society today, including much of the church, likes man's law better.  Did not the Bible even say that this would come about in the final times?  Well, welcome to prophecy fulfilled; we have inherited the corrupt final generation spoken of in the Scriptures of both the Old and New testaments.  But most can't see it, even though they are living it; and what will be the end thereof?

Jeremiah 5:31
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?  KJV

    Thank you for your honest incite and I hope that you take this in the spirit that I intend it, and that you are not offended.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Provisions for the Tribulation

 


A reader writes:

Nick, I enjoy reading your site. Lot's of good stuff. I didn't find what I was looking for but learned alot searching for it. (lol)

I was reading a little about Hurricane Katrina. Lost a "friend" over this discussion once.

Did you know there were 450 school busses....gas tanks filled to the brim....all sitting there underwater.....because they... just... would not....leave???

The stadiums they were put up in were like putting a bunch of wild animals all in a cage together. They were STILL stealing, raping and even murdering there own people?

God HATES the Marti Grau!!

Did you know they were more worried about having that despicable homosexual/transvestite/voo-doo parade called the Marti Grau up and running again before people even had housing............and they did?

Those vicious attacks against our children down there.....enough to make the blood boil in our veins......was nothing but a big fat fabricated lie indeed.

Funny how they got massive media coverage including helicopters and news teams and there little concession stands every where equipped with all kinds of goodys and tea shirts all printed up and musical bands and stages built ect................all in just a few days time?

Rejoicing over the unprovoked vicious attack on an innocent caucasian young man. I bet those thugs were really dissapointed when they learned they hadn't just "finished him off".

There was a group of girls that did the same thing......facing prison time......and the black community rallied together and these savages were given nothing more then a slap on the wrist....if that. Got off scott free.

And they rejoice over there acts of violance.

Gee, wonder what welfare recipient payed for there little celebration? Wonder who financed that?

THEY DIDN'T PAY FOR THAT! But we sure know who did. Can anybody say "kenites"? (lol)

Incredible!!

I'll look for what I'am trying to find later.

Whew, get's me Irish up it does.

God bless, [Xxxxxx]

 

Answer:

Hello [Xxxxxx].  I agree with you.  This country (and world) is going to hell in a hand basket.  I hope that you are making plans and are gathering provisions for riots, attacks, natural disasters, etc., and when Martial Law gets instituted.  Don't neglect to do what you can now, because when this stuff jumps-off there will be no time nor any available resources.  I can't stress that enough. 

    I am speaking about storing dry goods, rice, pasta, flour, beans; home canning (the "poor man's" emergency food—very economical, and properly done the food can last 5 years or more [pay stringent attention to safe-food practices!]); dried food & fruits, water; cash-on-hand, a place to go TO, enough set-aside fuel to get there (once the electricity goes out gas pumps don't work—not to mention closed stations and gas runs and rationing)  And don't forget heat, shelter, weaponry, and avoidance of the masses who, not having made provisions of their own, shall seek to steal yours. 

    And last of all, keep a keen eye on current events so that you will know when it is time to get out.  For, once something happens you may well have LESS THAN two hours to get out of the major metropolitan areas.  After that, the main Interstates will be closed down And you will be trapped on an interstate parking lot with a bunch of confused, scared, and angry people.  Then, once you are turned around and sent back into the cities and large metropolitan areas you will be faced with food shortages, possible lack of utilities, store shelves that will be empty in three days, marauding packs of gang-bangers and criminals of every stripe.  Police will be overwhelmed as they were in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, or they just won't come like they did in the L.A. Rodney King Riots.  Civil order will break down, mob rule prevails, the strong will victimize the weak in every way imaginable (heads-up women!); and then, quite frankly, you are screwed.  Definitely not good.  But so easy to avoid with just a little foresight and preparation. 

    And please don't let yourself be lulled into inactivity because "it can't happen here."  It CAN happen here, it already did on a limited scale in Katrina and Los Angeles.  It will happen here.  Look at it this way: if it doesn't happen then you can just donate your stored food to charity and soup kitchens.  Or you can just eat it.  Nothing is lost, a few thousand dollars and some spare time—a small price to pay to be prepared.  But consider the alternative if you should need it and you don't have it.  You will then be among those looking for food, perhaps driven to theft or whatnot due to extreme hunger.  People get ugly, even good people sometimes.  Even the nice fellow next store is not going to stand by and let you cook food while his children are crying for hunger.  Feed him and the whole neighborhood will be there tomorrow.  In a week you will be empty yourself.  Good people will do bad things in desperate times.  Think about it.  My point is that it is imperative that you have someplace to go TO, away from large numbers of other people.  You simply cannot shelter-in within the cities.  Look at what Israel did in Samaria during the extreme hunger of a siege (the blockade of a city and starving them out):

2 Kings 6:26-30 [happened circa 801-788 B.C.]
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
[she was hungry]
27 And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes [a sign of great sorrow]; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth [a sign of great sorrow] within upon his flesh.  KJV

    Second witness:

Lamentations 4:10
10 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden [cooked by boiling] their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people [i.e., the nation (of Israel].  KJV

    By the way, the above was allowed to happen because God had told them it would be the consequences if they fell away from Him.  This was written some seven centuries before it happened.  The warning:

Deuteronomy 28:55-58 [written circa 1452 B.C.]
55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE Lord THY God;  KJV

    Why would Americans think that it won't happen to them; for, surely, as a nation, we have left God. 

    So, prepare.  There are always survivors of any great affliction. 

    Those in the cities shall fare the worst.  Those in more sparsely populated areas—but who haven't laid aside provisions—shall be safe but hungry. 

    Don't be reactive, be proactive; don't be idle.  Do something, and God will do for you that which you cannot do.  But so many Christians today—whether out of disbelief in all that the prophets have written, or due to laziness—are content to sit on their duffs and expect God to do every little thing for them.  What examples have we from Scripture?  Well, we are told to flee.  "Flee" is an action word, it is a verb; it means that we have to do something.  Observe; "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another..." (Mat 10:23a).  And in another place: "Then let them which be in Judaea flee to the mountains..." (Luke 21:21a).  Did it say "sit there and expect God to scoop you out"?  No, it say FLEE, that is something that you have to do, it is not done for you. 

    I stress this because many Christians feel that it is a lack of faith to prepare, believing that God will help them in the troublous time.  Well and good; however, what if the forewarning was the help? 

    And remember, faithful men took action against calamity.  For instance, Joseph set aside corn for seven years against the coming famine; Noah built a boat; Lot walked out of Sodom; David fled the murderous king; Jesus "would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him." (John 7:1b).  Do something, be active, work, try, do.  A word to the wise is sufficient.

re·ac·tive (rē-ăktĭv) adj.
1. Tending to be responsive or to react to a stimulus. 2. Characterized by reaction. 3. Chemistry & Physics Tending to participate readily in reactions.

pro·ac·tive or pro-ac·tive (prō-ăktĭv) adj.
Acting in advance to deal with an expected difficulty; anticipatory: proactive steps to prevent terrorism.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Judaic author and Israeli University historian admits that today's "Jews" are NOT the descendents of Biblical Israel


A reader writes:

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Hello, I read a few of your answers to questions, and am a little alarmed by some of the things i saw. maybe you can clarify them for me?

what i was seeing was allot of seeming anger towards jews, such as most abortion clinics are run by jews, etc..

can you elaborate on this for me please?

Sincerely [Xxxxx]


Answer:

    Hello [Xxxxxx].  You said that you were "alarmed."  Are you alarmed that so-called Jewish people are at the head of and founded and financed every subversive, immoral, anti-Christian organization, movement, and ideology; and that they planned it, wrote about it beforehand, and now brag about accomplishing great parts of it?  Or, are you alarmed that I as a Christian seem "angry" about the facts?

    Perhaps you will listen to a Jewish author?  (Isn't that what we have been reduced to; Whites can't talk about Blacks, men can't talk about women, Straits can't talk about Gays, non-Jews can't talk about Jews?  Have you ever wondered why?)

    Now, I have scores of direct quotes like the one below.  I also have hundreds of references from Jewish writings including their holiest book, the Babylonian Talmud.  But the below 1928 statement from Jewish author and staff member of the New York Tribune, Marcus Eli Ravage, should suffice as entry level for you:

"...You [non-Jews] resent us [Jews], but you cannot clearly say why...Not so many years ago I used to hear that we were money-grubbers and commercial materialists; now the complaint is being whispered around that no art and no profession is safe from Jewish invasion...

We shirk our patriotic duty in war time because we are pacifists by nature and tradition, and we are the Arch-Plotters of Universal Wars and the Chief Beneficiaries of those wars. We are at once the founders and leading adherents of capitalism and the chief perpetrators of the rebellion against capitalism. Surely, history has nothing like us for versatility!...

You accuse us of stirring up revolution in Moscow. Suppose we admit the charge. What of it?...You make much noise and fury about undue Jewish influence in your theaters and movie palaces. Very good; granted your complaint is well founded. But what is that compared to our staggering influence in your churches, schools, your laws and your government, and the very thoughts you think every day?...'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' which shows that we plotted to bring on the late World War. You believe that book. All right...we will underwrite every word of it. It is genuine and authentic. But what is that besides the unquestionable historical conspiracy which we have carried out, which we never have denied because you never had the courage to charge us with it, and of which the full record is extant for anybody to read?

If you really are serious when you talk of Jewish plots, may I not direct your attention to one worth talking about? What use is it wasting words on the alleged control of your public opinion by Jewish financiers, newspaper owners, and movie magnates, when you might as well also justly accuse us of the proved control of your whole civilization...

You have not begun to appreciate the real depth of our guilt. We are intruders. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and have played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom of not merely of the latest war [WWI] but of nearly all your wars, not only of the Russian but of every other major revolution in your history. We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it...Who knows what great and glorious destiny might have been yours if we had left you alone.

But we did not leave you alone. We took you in hand and pulled down the beautiful and generous structure you had reared, and changed the whole course of your history. We conquered you as no empire of yours ever subjugated Africa or Asia. And we did it solely by the irresistible might of our spirit, with ideas, with propaganda...

Take the three principal revolutions in modern times, the French, the American and Russian. What are they but the triumph of the Jewish idea of social, political and economic justice? And the end is still a long way off. We still dominate you...

Is it any wonder you resent us? We have put a clog upon your progress. We have imposed upon you an alien book and alien faith which is at cross-purposes with your native spirit, which keeps you everlastingly ill-at-ease, and which you lack the spirit either to reject or to accept in full...We have merely divided your soul, confused your impulses, paralyzed your desires...

So why should you not resent us? If we were in your place we should probably dislike you more cordially than you do us. But we should make no bones about telling you why...You Christians worry and complain about the Jew's influence in your civilization. We are, you say, an international people, a compact minority in your midst, with traditions, interests, aspirations and objectives distinct from your own. And you declare that this state of affairs is a measure of your orderly development; it muddles your destiny. I do not altogether see the danger. Your world has always been ruled by minorities; and it seems to me a matter of indifference what remote origin and professed creed of the governing clique is. The influence, on the other hand, is certainly there, and it is vastly greater and more insidious than you appear to realize...

That is what puzzles and amuses and sometimes exasperates us about your game of Jew-baiting. It sounds so portentous. You go about whispering terrifyingly of the hand of the Jew in this and that and the other thing. It makes us quake. We are conscious of the injury we did when we imposed upon you our alien faith and traditions. And then you specify and talk vaguely of Jewish financiers and Jewish motion picture promoters, and our terror dissolves in laughter. The Gentiles, we see with relief, will never know the real blackness of our crimes...

You call us subversive, agitators, revolution mongers. It is the truth, and I cower at your discovery...We undoubtedly had a sizable finger in the Lutheran Rebellion, and it is simply a fact that we were the prime movers in the Bourgeois Democratic Revolutions of the century before last, both in France and America. If we were not, we did not know our own interests. The Republican revolutions of the 18th Century freed us of our age-long political and social disabilities. They benefited us...You go on rattling of Jewish conspiracies and cite as instances the Great War and the Russian Revolution! Can you wonder that we Jews have always taken your anti-Semites rather lightly, as long as they did not resort to violence?"

- Marcus Eli Ravage, member of the staff of the New York Tribune, in "A Real Case Against the Jews," Century Magazine, January-February edition of 1928.

    Let me ask you this, does the above "anger" you?  It's all true.  Time to open your eyes, [xxxxxx].

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

The reader replies:

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Hello again,

Yes Sir you have some valid points, and while there are jews that do subscribe to the things you point out, are there not jews that are also Christian?

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Rom 11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

Rom 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

The jewish prophets of the old testament were persecuted by there own people,

The first Christians were jews, Jesus was a Jew, the early church that was scattered abroad spreding the gospel, were jews,

but you already know these things, I have a few conspiracy therories myself, my own government killed JFK, and it would not surprise me in the least to find out that again my own government played a huge role in 9/11.

Rev chapter 7, tells of 144,000 jews, 12,000 from each tribe being sealed before the second half of the great tribulation, so at least 144,000 are Christian enough toobtain this consideration from God.

At 49, I am just beginning to understand and know that what happens in the world is not for me to fear and speculate on, who is the most evil and who is conspiring to do what, if I focus on those things then I become fearful and not much use to my Saviour Christ my Lord.

as you well know the Gospel is to be preached to all nations and tongues, regardless of what they do, or dont do, or conspire to do.

I have just enough oil to trim my lamp when Jesus calls his bride from every tongue and kindred of the world.

if i worry about all of the conspiracy theories and point my finger at this one and that one, and those over there, I am to earthly to be any heavenly good for God's kingdom.

I would be to consumed in worldly matters to even think about the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

as i am finding out, the number of voices in the world are made all the much more louder by all of the media available in these last days.

so many voices, so many distractions, this is the way, no our way is the way, no we have the right way.....so so many voices, i can surly empathize with pilot, what is truth.

Sincerely [Xxxxxx]


Answer:

I understand, blessings to you [Xxxxxx].  But do please consider the below:

"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." — Edmund Burke.

James 4:17
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.  KJV

Ezekiel 33:2
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.  KJV

    I believe that all true Christians should be watchmen.  Lord knows that those in the watered-down, infiltrated, saltless, UN-Scriptural, churches of today need them.

    And if I may add one more thing.  You are handicapped by a lack of understanding of just what and who a "Jew" is and is not.  You have been told that the "Jews" of today are the literal descendents of the Israel people of the Bible.  They are not, you have been deceived, wittingly or unwittingly.  Which kind of puts to paradox your E-mail heading Scripture:

2 Timothy 4:1-4
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.  KJV

    Anyway, approximately 95% of "Jews" today are (self) called Ashkenazi Jews, which are not Israelites at all, are not Hebrews, nor are they even a Semitic people.  They descend from Turko-Mongoloid Khazar people who converted to Judaism in circa eighth century A.D., and were flushed into eastern Europe by the early Russians and later by their near-kinsman Genghis Khan and his hoards.  Their actual lineage is traced back to Japheth, Shem's brother and Noah's son.   (Ashkenaz, quite to the chagrin of today's Ashkenazi "Jews," is found in Gen 10:3 as a grandson of Japheth).  That's a little time bomb that their Khazar ancestors left for them.  (The newly converted Khazars knew that they were not descended from Israel—it was their own king (Bulan) who informed the world of their descent from their patriarch Japheth.  It wasn't until later that their progeny were inaccurately told that they were in fact the central people in Judaism and the Old Testament; that is to say, Israelites.  See Israeli press news article confirming much of what I say here: Shattering a 'national mythology' (article supplied in full below).

    In other words, over 95% of the people of today who think that they are "Jews" never had a relative that set foot in the promised land.  Until 1948, that is, when a whole hoard of them from the ghettos of Europe and Russia flocked over to the land grab in the new state of so-called Israel.

    It is Shem's descendents that are Shemites (Semites).  So, "AntiSemitism," as it is used today as a hammer to silence critics of Israel and Judaics is a fraud.  Ironically, Arabs today are actually a Semitic people and the "Jews" are not.  "Oh! what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive! Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) in Marmion, Canto VI. Stanza 17.

    There is so much more that you need to learn on this subject.  Perhaps our little website will be helpful.  If you are so inclined you might like to start here: A map (and article) about the re-formation of Israel in the west.  Israel's migrations to "the appointed place."

    And just for the record: I am not an AntiSemite, I do not hate Jews; it is my desire that as many as God wills will be converted to Christianity and be saved.  But the conversion rates for "Jews" is dismally small for whatever reasons.  And even when they do convert they often hold onto the leaven of the Pharisees (Judaism) and set themselves aside as in the Jews For Jesus group, and the "Messianic Jews.".  Have they not read: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28).  So whence comes "Jews For Jesus" and "Messianic Jews"?  Shouldn't they just be Christians?

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Shattering a 'national mythology'
By Ofri Ilani
Haaretz [Hebrew for The Land]
last update; Mar 21, 2008
Source

Of all the national heroes who have arisen from among the Jewish people over the generations, fate has not been kind to Dahia al-Kahina, a leader of the Berbers in the Aures Mountains. Although she was a proud Jewess, few Israelis have ever heard the name of this warrior-queen who, in the seventh century C.E., united a number of Berber tribes and pushed back the Muslim army that invaded North Africa. It is possible that the reason for this is that al-Kahina was the daughter of a Berber tribe that had converted to Judaism, apparently several generations before she was born, sometime around the 6th century C.E.

According to the Tel Aviv University historian, Prof. Shlomo Sand, author of "Matai ve'ech humtza ha'am hayehudi?" ("When and How the Jewish People Was Invented?"; Resling, in Hebrew), the queen's tribe and other local tribes that converted to Judaism are the main sources from which Spanish Jewry sprang. This claim that the Jews of North Africa originated in indigenous tribes that became Jewish - and not in communities exiled from Jerusalem - is just one element of the far- reaching argument set forth in Sand's new book.

In this work, the author attempts to prove that the Jews now living in Israel and other places in the world are not at all descendants of the ancient people who inhabited the Kingdom of Judea during the First and Second Temple period. Their origins, according to him, are in varied peoples that converted to Judaism during the course of history, in different corners of the Mediterranean Basin and the adjacent regions. Not only are the North African Jews for the most part descendants of pagans who converted to Judaism, but so are the Jews of Yemen (remnants of the Himyar Kingdom in the Arab Peninsula, who converted to Judaism in the fourth century) and the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe (refugees from the Kingdom of the Khazars, who converted in the eighth century).
 

Unlike other "new historians" who have tried to undermine the assumptions of Zionist historiography, Sand does not content himself with going back to 1948 or to the beginnings of Zionism, but rather goes back thousands of years. He tries to prove that the Jewish people never existed as a "nation-race" with a common origin, but rather is a colorful mix of groups that at various stages in history adopted the Jewish religion. He argues that for a number of Zionist ideologues, the mythical perception of the Jews as an ancient people led to truly racist thinking: "There were times when if anyone argued that the Jews belong to a people that has gentile origins, he would be classified as an anti-Semite on the spot. Today, if anyone dares to suggest that those who are considered Jews in the world ... have never constituted and still do not constitute a people or a nation - he is immediately condemned as a hater of Israel."

According to Sand, the description of the Jews as a wandering and self-isolating nation of exiles, "who wandered across seas and continents, reached the ends of the earth and finally, with the advent of Zionism, made a U-turn and returned en masse to their orphaned homeland," is nothing but "national mythology." Like other national movements in Europe, which sought out a splendid Golden Age, through which they invented a heroic past - for example, classical Greece or the Teutonic tribes - to prove they have existed since the beginnings of history, "so, too, the first buds of Jewish nationalism blossomed in the direction of the strong light that has its source in the mythical Kingdom of David."

So when, in fact, was the Jewish people invented, in Sand's view? At a certain stage in the 19th century, intellectuals of Jewish origin in Germany, influenced by the folk character of German nationalism, took upon themselves the task of inventing a people "retrospectively," out of a thirst to create a modern Jewish people. From historian Heinrich Graetz on, Jewish historians began to draw the history of Judaism as the history of a nation that had been a kingdom, became a wandering people and ultimately turned around and went back to its birthplace.

Actually, most of your book does not deal with the invention of the Jewish people by modern Jewish nationalism, but rather with the question of where the Jews come from.

Sand: "My initial intention was to take certain kinds of modern historiographic materials and examine how they invented the 'figment' of the Jewish people. But when I began to confront the historiographic sources, I suddenly found contradictions. And then that urged me on: I started to work, without knowing where I would end up. I took primary sources and I tried to examine authors' references in the ancient period - what they wrote about conversion."

Sand, an expert on 20th-century history, has until now researched the intellectual history of modern France (in "Ha'intelektual, ha'emet vehakoah: miparashat dreyfus ve'ad milhemet hamifrats" - "Intellectuals, Truth and Power, From the Dreyfus Affair to the Gulf War"; Am Oved, in Hebrew). Unusually, for a professional historian, in his new book he deals with periods that he had never researched before, usually relying on studies that present unorthodox views of the origins of the Jews.

Experts on the history of the Jewish people say you are dealing with subjects about which you have no understanding and are basing yourself on works that you can't read in the original.

"It is true that I am an historian of France and Europe, and not of the ancient period. I knew that the moment I would start dealing with early periods like these, I would be exposed to scathing criticism by historians who specialize in those areas. But I said to myself that I can't stay just with modern historiographic material without examining the facts it describes. Had I not done this myself, it would have been necessary to have waited for an entire generation. Had I continued to deal with France, perhaps I would have been given chairs at the university and provincial glory. But I decided to relinquish the glory."

Inventing the Diaspora

"After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people remained faithful to it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom" - thus states the preamble to the Israeli Declaration of Independence. This is also the quotation that opens the third chapter of Sand's book, entitled "The Invention of the Diaspora." Sand argues that the Jewish people's exile from its land never happened.

"The supreme paradigm of exile was needed in order to construct a long-range memory in which an imagined and exiled nation-race was posited as the direct continuation of 'the people of the Bible' that preceded it," Sand explains. Under the influence of other historians who have dealt with the same issue in recent years, he argues that the exile of the Jewish people is originally a Christian myth that depicted that event as divine punishment imposed on the Jews for having rejected the Christian gospel.

"I started looking in research studies about the exile from the land - a constitutive event in Jewish history, almost like the Holocaust. But to my astonishment I discovered that it has no literature. The reason is that no one exiled the people of the country. The Romans did not exile peoples and they could not have done so even if they had wanted to. They did not have trains and trucks to deport entire populations. That kind of logistics did not exist until the 20th century. From this, in effect, the whole book was born: in the realization that Judaic society was not dispersed and was not exiled."

If the people was not exiled, are you saying that in fact the real descendants of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Judah are the Palestinians?

"No population remains pure over a period of thousands of years. But the chances that the Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Judaic people are much greater than the chances that you or I are its descendents. The first Zionists, up until the Arab Revolt [1936-9], knew that there had been no exiling, and that the Palestinians were descended from the inhabitants of the land. They knew that farmers don't leave until they are expelled. Even Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, the second president of the State of Israel, wrote in 1929 that, 'the vast majority of the peasant farmers do not have their origins in the Arab conquerors, but rather, before then, in the Jewish farmers who were numerous and a majority in the building of the land.'"

And how did millions of Jews appear around the Mediterranean Sea?

"The people did not spread, but the Jewish religion spread. Judaism was a converting religion. Contrary to popular opinion, in early Judaism there was a great thirst to convert others. The Hasmoneans were the first to begin to produce large numbers of Jews through mass conversion, under the influence of Hellenism. The conversions between the Hasmonean Revolt and Bar Kochba's rebellion are what prepared the ground for the subsequent, wide-spread dissemination of Christianity. After the victory of Christianity in the fourth century, the momentum of conversion was stopped in the Christian world, and there was a steep drop in the number of Jews. Presumably many of the Jews who appeared around the Mediterranean became Christians. But then Judaism started to permeate other regions - pagan regions, for example, such as Yemen and North Africa. Had Judaism not continued to advance at that stage and had it not continued to convert people in the pagan world, we would have remained a completely marginal religion, if we survived at all."

How did you come to the conclusion that the Jews of North Africa were originally Berbers who converted?

"I asked myself how such large Jewish communities appeared in Spain. And then I saw that Tariq ibn Ziyad, the supreme commander of the Muslims who conquered Spain, was a Berber, and most of his soldiers were Berbers. Dahia al-Kahina's Jewish Berber kingdom had been defeated only 15 years earlier. And the truth is there are a number of Christian sources that say many of the conquerors of Spain were Jewish converts. The deep-rooted source of the large Jewish community in Spain was those Berber soldiers who converted to Judaism."

Sand argues that the most crucial demographic addition to the Jewish population of the world came in the wake of the conversion of the kingdom of Khazaria - a huge empire that arose in the Middle Ages on the steppes along the Volga River, which at its height ruled over an area that stretched from the Georgia of today to Kiev. In the eighth century, the kings of the Khazars adopted the Jewish religion and made Hebrew the written language of the kingdom. From the 10th century the kingdom weakened; in the 13th century is was utterly defeated by Mongol invaders, and the fate of its Jewish inhabitants remains unclear.

Sand revives the hypothesis, which was already suggested by historians in the 19th and 20th centuries, according to which the Judaized Khazars constituted the main origins of the Jewish communities in Eastern Europe.

"At the beginning of the 20th century there is a tremendous concentration of Jews in Eastern Europe - three million Jews in Poland alone," he says. "The Zionist historiography claims that their origins are in the earlier Jewish community in Germany, but they do not succeed in explaining how a small number of Jews who came from Mainz and Worms could have founded the Yiddish people of Eastern Europe. The Jews of Eastern Europe are a mixture of Khazars and Slavs who were pushed eastward."

'Degree of perversion'

If the Jews of Eastern Europe did not come from Germany, why did they speak Yiddish, which is a Germanic language?

"The Jews were a class of people dependent on the German bourgeoisie in the East, and thus they adopted German words. Here I base myself on the research of linguist Paul Wechsler of Tel Aviv University, who has demonstrated that there is no etymological connection between the German Jewish language of the Middle Ages and Yiddish. As far back as 1828, the Ribal (Rabbi Isaac Ber Levinson) said that the ancient language of the Jews was not Yiddish. Even Ben Zion Dinur, the father of Israeli historiography, was not hesitant about describing the Khazars as the origin of the Jews in Eastern Europe, and describes Khazaria as 'the mother of the diasporas' in Eastern Europe. But more or less since 1967, anyone who talks about the Khazars as the ancestors of the Jews of Eastern Europe is considered naive and moonstruck."

Why do you think the idea of the Khazar origins is so threatening?

"It is clear that the fear is of an undermining of the historic right to the land. The revelation that the Jews are not from Judea would ostensibly knock the legitimacy for our being here out from under us. Since the beginning of the period of decolonization, settlers have no longer been able to say simply: 'We came, we won and now we are here' the way the Americans, the whites in South Africa and the Australians said. There is a very deep fear that doubt will be cast on our right to exist."

Is there no justification for this fear?

"No. I don't think that the historical myth of the exile and the wanderings is the source of the legitimization for me being here, and therefore I don't mind believing that I am Khazar in my origins. I am not afraid of the undermining of our existence, because I think that the character of the State of Israel undermines it in a much more serious way. What would constitute the basis for our existence here is not mythological historical right, but rather would be for us to start to establish an open society here of all Israeli citizens."

In effect you are saying that there is no such thing as a Jewish people.

"I don't recognize an international people. I recognize 'the Yiddish people' that existed in Eastern Europe, which though it is not a nation can be seen as a Yiddishist civilization with a modern popular culture. I think that Jewish nationalism grew up in the context of this 'Yiddish people.' I also recognize the existence of an Israeli people, and do not deny its right to sovereignty. But Zionism and also Arab nationalism over the years are not prepared to recognize it.

"From the perspective of Zionism, this country does not belong to its citizens, but rather to the Jewish people. I recognize one definition of a nation: a group of people that wants to live in sovereignty over itself. But most of the Jews in the world have no desire to live in the State of Israel, even though nothing is preventing them from doing so. Therefore, they cannot be seen as a nation."

What is so dangerous about Jews imagining that they belong to one people? Why is this bad?

"In the Israeli discourse about roots there is a degree of perversion. This is an ethnocentric, biological, genetic discourse. But Israel has no existence as a Jewish state: If Israel does not develop and become an open, multicultural society we will have a Kosovo in the Galilee. The consciousness concerning the right to this place must be more flexible and varied, and if I have contributed with my book to the likelihood that I and my children will be able to live with the others here in this country in a more egalitarian situation - I will have done my bit.

"We must begin to work hard to transform our place into an Israeli republic where ethnic origin, as well as faith, will not be relevant in the eyes of the law. Anyone who is acquainted with the young elites of the Israeli Arab community can see that they will not agree to live in a country that declares it is not theirs. If I were a Palestinian I would rebel against a state like that, but even as an Israeli I am rebelling against it."

The question is whether for those conclusions you had to go as far as the Kingdom of the Khazars.

"I am not hiding the fact that it is very distressing for me to live in a society in which the nationalist principles that guide it are dangerous, and that this distress has served as a motive in my work. I am a citizen of this country, but I am also a historian and as a historian it is my duty to write history and examine texts. This is what I have done."

If the myth of Zionism is one of the Jewish people that returned to its land from exile, what will be the myth of the country you envision?

"To my mind, a myth about the future is better than introverted mythologies of the past. For the Americans, and today for the Europeans as well, what justifies the existence of the nation is a future promise of an open, progressive and prosperous society. The Israeli materials do exist, but it is necessary to add, for example, pan-Israeli holidays. To decrease the number of memorial days a bit and to add days that are dedicated to the future. But also, for example, to add an hour in memory of the Nakba {literally, the "catastrophe" - the Palestinian term for what happened when Israel was established}, between Memorial Day and Independence Day."

Past sins, and tattoos

 

A (female) reader writes:

Hi, I am glad I found this web site. Lately I have been wanting to learn more about God and become closer to him, but I have also been worried that my lifestyle is not Godly enough to be accepted in to Heaven when I die. I am happily married to a wonderful Christian man, and we have a beautiful baby girl together. We are a pretty typical family and try very hard to good in Gods eyes, but before we met and were married, we were both sexually active with other people. That is one of my fears. I am also curious how God feels about tattoos. I recently got a tattoo with my daughters name on it, but lately I have been feeling like I committed a sin, and because it is permanently on my skin, I am doomed to hell. I am also afraid that because of my tattoo, my daughter will grow up to hate me as punishment for me permanently coloring my body. If you could help me with my questions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much. [Xxxxxx]


Answer:

    Hello [Xxxxxx].  As for your past sins, once you ask God to forgive you for a sin in Jesus Christ' name then it is over.  That sin is gone as though it had never existed.  That's what forgiveness is, it is a complete remission of the sin.  It is gone, stricken off of your record, paid for in full by Christ's blood on the cross.  So don't unduly worry over past sins which you have already repented for.  Further study on this matter including Scriptural references is located at our: "Forgiveness in Christ Jesus" means what?  And What does it mean to "believe upon Jesus Christ?"

    And regarding the tattoos, they are not in-and-of-themselves sinful.  Now, if you had a blasphemy tattooed on you then it would be a sin on account of that.  But regular tattoos like you mentioned are not a sin.  We have an article on this matter at: Tattoos and Piercings: regarding "our body being the temple of God"

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

The International Judaics, the Kenites, and the "Jews"

 

A reader writes:

Subject: International Judaics
Hi, the international Judaics spoken of on your sites, really are Kenites, they are not Jewish in no way or form.  Thanx.

[Xxxxx xxxxx Xxxxxx]

Answer:

Hello.  The International Judaics which I write of are Kenites and their fellow travelers, whether genealogically or spiritually.  (For, just as a Christian may be a Christian by spiritual faith regardless of heredity and bloodline; so too can a person spiritually be a son of satan [a Satanist] just as a literal blood descendent of satan is a Kenite, a son of Cain, the son of satan by the infidelity of Eve.  See our: What was the Real sin in the garden of Eden?  A "Kenite" is a descendent of Cain.

    Thus far we are in agreement.  However, you say that they are not "Jewish."  The problem is that there is no real definition of being a "Jew" or being "Jewish."  This of course was by design.  You seem to suppose that "Jews" are the descendents of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  And that is what they want you to believe.  However, most of today's self identified "Jews" have nary a drop of those three aforementioned fellow's blood coursing through their veins.  Most "Jews" are descendents of the tribes of Khazaria.  And I am speaking of between 94-96% of today's "Jews" (exact percentage disputed).  These Khazars are today called "Ashkenazi Jews," but their bloodline is Turko-Mongoloid, not Hebrew; and they are closer related to Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan than they are to anybody who ever set foot in Palestine (the land of Canaan, the modern nation-state of so-called "Israel," etc.).

    Moreover, most "Jews" of today are not even related to the false Jews that Christ disputed with, only their (modern "Jew's") spiritual leaders are related by blood to the Pharisees and Sadducees and Scribes.  These three groups left Judea after the destruction of the Temple by the Roman's and went back to Babylon (whence their ancestors came from).  These later three groups were fetched from the Talmudic academes in Babylon in circa the eighth century A.D. to convert the Khazars to Judaism.  These Khazars then put their native language into Hebrew letters (as they had before that not had a written alphabet) and they then usurped true Israel's identity and taught (errantly) their children that they are the decedents of the Israel people in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).  That is why today's Jews" really believe that they are God's chosen people.  The reality of the matter is that they are the descendents of all the cursed peoples and tribes of the Bible, from Cain, to Esau and others near and far.  This was/is satan's handiwork.  The rabbis know that what I say here on this matter is true, the learned scholars among the "Jews" know of their own identity crisis.  Many of them have written books on it, and even the esteemed 1901-06 Jewish Encyclopedia agrees substantially with me here; but they would deny the Kenite connection, but they do not deny the Edomite (Esau) connection to world Jewry:

  • "Edom is in modern Jewry.The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, Page 41.

  • "...Esau is Edom." Holy Bible, Genesis 36:8b.

    That covers (briefly) the Ashkenazi division of the "Jews," and they constitute the overwhelming majority of today's Jews."  The next largest division of world Jewry is the "Sephardic Jews," and these constitute less that 5% of all "Jews."  Some suppose that these are the "real Jews."  Wrong.  For, even the Sephardic "Jews" are mostly children of converts to Judaism, which is why they have no common look as illustrated in the photo montage below:



Famous and Influential Sephardic "Jews"

1st row: Maimonides • Isaac Abrabanel • Baruch Spinoza • David Nieto • Daniel Mendoza • David Ricardo;
2nd row: Moses Montefiore • Benjamin Disraeli • Sabato Morais • Emma Lazarus • Benjamin Cardozo • David de Sola Pool;
3rd row: Basil Henriques • Pierre Mendès-France • Sam Costa • Jacques Derrida • Shlomo Amar • Hank Azaria.
Source: — “Sephardi Jews,” Wikipedia Encyclopedia. Verified Aug 22, 2008.  Source.

    So you see, the word "Jew" or "being Jewish" has no real meaning.  Even Sammy Davis Jr. and Marilyn Monroe were "Jews" (by religious conversion).  There are Black Jews, Oriental Jews, Caucasian Jews, Spanish Jews, etc; but these are not in any way related by common ancestors, and with the exception of some of the Caucasian "Jews" they are not at all descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob of the Bible.

    A "Jew" is basically anybody who says that they are one.  One may be a Jew by religion (Judaism) or upon the moment of religious conversion to Judaism; And one may also be a Jew by "blood."  But even this "Jew by blood" is a misconception; for, according to the nation-state of Israel and the rabbis, to be "legally" considered to be a Jew by blood one only has to descend from a Jewish mother (no matter whether she is a Jew by blood or by conversion), regardless of the race or religion of the father.  From our, the re-formation of Israel in the west.  Israel's migrations to "the appointed place", we quote the below:

...The word Jew comes from a Greek word meaning descendent of the tribe of Judah, or someone living in the land of Judea.  Today's Jews call themselves Jews to falsely imply that they are somehow descendent from the Biblical tribe of Judah.

        When asked the question, "Who is Israel? - Who is a Jew?",  the Israeli Government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) unhesitatingly answered thus [emphasis added]:

  • The term Israelite is purely Biblical.

  • An Israeli is a citizen of Israel, regardless of religion.

  • A Jew is a person anywhere in the world born to a Jewish mother, or converted to Judaism, who is thus identified as a member of the Jewish people and religion.

-- Information Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jerusalem; Feb, 1998.


"
Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a "Jew."  Or to call a contemporary Jew
[an] "Israelite," or a "Hebrew."  The first Hebrews may not have been Jews at all, and contemporary Palestinians, by their own definition of the term "Palestinian," have to include Jews among their own people."

--The Jewish Almanac, Oct., 1980, page 3, Bantam Books, Inc. Under a headline entitled... 'Identity Crisis'.

    Most of today's Christians errantly believe that being a "Jew" means that one is an adherent of the religion of Judaism.  But this is most incorrect, as over 50% of all "Jews" worldwide (including, unbeknownst to most, the majority of "Jews" living in modern day "Israel") are Atheists.  They call themselves "Secular Jews," which is just a nicer term for "Jews" who do not believe in God (i.e., Atheists).  Most saltless, watered down, and Biblically illiterate Christians of today—that is to say most Christians today—virtually cherish the "Jews," thinking that they are the cousins of Jesus Christ or something—rather than the spiritual descendants of those who had Him murdered, and the genetic descendents of godless heathen Gentiles.

    Oh, how the facade (the myth of the "Jews" as God's "chosen people") crumbles when it runs up against truth!

    And at the risk of sounding insensitive—but in painful fidelity to the truth—the modern day, self styled, so-called Jews of today are an admixture of all the peoples that were the enemies of Biblical Israel and Christ Jesus.  in fact, the very first Biblical mention of the "Jews" shows them to be at war against Israel!  The last recorded acts of them were the crucifixion of Christ and the subsequent persecution of the apostles and the early Christian church.  Yet they are esteemed as "God's chosen people" in modern myth and Christian churches alike.  Thus documenting the fall of true Biblical Christianity—that taught by Christ and the apostles—usurped by the leaven of the Pharisees and the false teachings of the wolves in sheep's clothing which constitutes the main of the so-called Christian clergy today.

2 Kings 16:5-7
5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.  KJV

    And their (the so-called "Jews") tribes in modern times have a long history of expulsions and banishments by most every civilized nation in the Western world, which they have ever tried to penetrate into because the Christian Western nations were founded and subdued by the true and literal descendents of true Israel.  (See our: Race-baiting and the 108 Countries the Judaics were expelled-from since 250 a.d.)  When I say "true Israel" I speak of the modern day Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples.

The "Jew's" real ancestors

    The Canaanites, Kenites, Edomites (from Esau, Jacob's rejected enemy brother), Babylonians, Turks, Mongolians etc, that became the bloodstock (and spiritual taint) of today's modern day so-called "Jews" have been locked in an eternal struggle against true Israel.  True Israel being the Anglo-Saxon descendents of Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Eber (thus the name Hebrews), Shem (thus the term Shemites, modernized to Semites), Noah, Adam, God.  Thus the eternal battle goes on, one started at Genesis 3:15.

Genesis 3:13-15
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent
[satan], Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
[the serpent's (satan's) offspring)] and her seed [Eve's offspring (by Adam) through true Israel to Mother Mary to Christ Jesus]; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.  KJV

    Perhaps now you can apprehend what a great sin it is to say that Jesus was a "Jew."

    For an honest Jewish scholar's thesis on Jesus, see: JESUS WAS NOT A JEW! Article by Benjamin H. Freedman, Hebrew Historian - Researcher - Scholar

    There is very much more which could be said on the subjects brought up here today, but due to time we were forced to be cursory.  I apologize in advance if our shortness here led to incompleteness and possible misunderstanding.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Looking for a denomination to become a minister in; the problem


A reader writes:

Hello! I've been following your site for about 5 years now! I'm seriously thinking about getting a degree online in ministry and Christian studies. Do you have any suggestions of schools that offer online bible schooling that follow closely to the teaching on the site? Thanks!

Answer:

Hi [Xxxxxx].  I'm sorry but I don't know any mainstream ministry that teaches the Bible as the Bible is written (unfortunately).  Nor will you find any organized denomination that will dare touch the "Jewish Question."  So, if you get ordained into any of those denominations you will be expected to lie and/or withhold information from the people—or you will be defrocked.  Satan's got it all locked-up, huh? 

    That's why you don't see an effective organized Christian church in the Tribulation chapters of the book of Revelation (chapters 6 through 19).  The "Judeo-Christian" abominations that call themselves churches today will have by then further diluted into antichrist churches.  And the true Christians remaining, those spoken of by Paul in 1st Thessalonians 4:14-18 (given further below) will have to have gone underground to survive (Rev 12: 6 & 14). 

    So then, Just as with Israel of the Old Testament, so too with Christianity of the New Testament.  I refer to the impostors, those who fell away from the faith into a false form of that faith:

Romans 9:6
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:  KJV
 

1 John 2:18-19
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.  KJV
 

    By the time of Christ, the religion of the Old Testament had been corrupted into what we know today as Rabbinic Judaism; so too today the religion of the New Testament as given by Christ and taught by the apostles is being corrupted into a hybrid called "Judeo-Christianity," a religion not at odds with Judaism.  Christianity in the mainstream denominations, through ecumenism (agreement, finding common ground with other faiths) and other means shall continue to deconstruct downward until it is transformed into a religion that is not at odds with the antichrist (satan). 

    But true Christians shall remain until the end, this is confirmed by apostle Paul when he was speaking of the Second Advent of Jesus Christ, and how that true Christians shall see His return and join Him:

1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we [true Christians, Paul is speaking to and of true Christians] which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord [Second Advent] shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain [till the Second Advent] shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.  KJV

    I have to tell you, you couldn't pay me to be a minister in any of the main denominations today—they are going to be in big trouble with the Lord. 

    And you don't need a warrant from some corrupt watered-down man-pleasing church hierarchy to teach the Word of God.  In fact, most often you can't get any real teaching in the churches anymore.  I exclude small non-denominational Christian churches, it is in these that the Word of God may be found.  Of course, the mass of Christianity looks down on these small independent (and severely underfunded) small nondenominational churches, and the people want to see fine robes, big church buildings, full pews, and a brand name, before they will consider a church "valid."  Never mind that they are not getting the true Word of God, they're just getting the ecumenical "feel good stuff."  Thus fulfilling the Scripture that was written of them:

Jeremiah 5:30-31
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?  KJV

    This happened with God's people, Israel, in the Old Testament; and it shall again happen to God's people, the Christians, at the end of the New Testament.  Are we not witnessing it beginning even now?

Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.  KJV

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.
