CT news services

I want to bring it to everyone's attention that there are news text services here in C.T. that all should consider signing up for. These text's are to keep you safe and provide good information to boot. This type of information could have been used by Reginald Denny during the LA riots of 1992. I pray that no such things as this will happen in the future.

Some of the services that are available:
The Hartford Courant
CT now severe weather
NBC CT

There are others out there but just want to submit some of the more popular ones. I  also want to encourage all that read this blog in the next few hours to keep themselves safe by staying off the road tonight for New Years eve.

The Queen James Bible

From out of the closet comes the latest version of the KJV. This Bible comes from San Francisco, CA and has been rewritten to take out the verses that condemn Sodomy. Lev 18:22 clearly states Yahweh's position on this subject matter, there are other verses also in the KJV. The reasons the sodomites gave on their website mixes some truth with some lies in order to try to justify their position. It is very probable in my opinion, that now that the Sodomites have their own Bible they will try to marginalize the KJV that others use.

Mixing lies with the truth is Satanic in origin and the Bible is clear on avoiding such things. For example in Matt 5:13 we are told we are the salt of the earth, and tells us not to lose our savor. How does salt lose its savor one may ask. The only possible way that salt can lose its savor is if it is diluted, or watered down. The Bible also tells us in Titus 1:14 tells us not to give head to the lies of Jews or of others that turn from the truth.  The answer is very basic, we need to keep Yashua Messiah center of our lives, read our Bibles daily, and try to learn the truth. This may mean investing in a concordance and or lexicon.

This is the website if anyone thinks I am kidding about this apostasy. sodomite bible link This type of trying to debase the scriptures is quite probable from Zionist and Communist leaders, or at least have some type of involvement in its production. Time will tell if I am correct or not. There is noone that is taking credit for it in any way shape or form. It is my prayer that all will rebuke this twisted rewriting of the scriptures in Yahweh's holy name.

Are you ready to go through the Tribulation?

"Whoa, wait a minute" most will reply to this title up above. Most believe that they will be raptured away from the earth just in the nick of time by Yashua Messiah. Although I would really like to believe this and would like to plan for it that way, I just do not believe it so. There are different beliefs on this topic of when the rapture will happen. The ones that I know of is pretribulation, during the tribulation, after the tribulation or no rapture at all.

If you read Matt 24: 40,41 it talks about two people working in both verses and one is taken away. Most will use the argument that this is the rapture it speaks of. This is also recorded in the book of Luke 17:34-37
In this passage of Luke, the Disciples ask where the raptured will be taken. Christ answers that they are going where the corpses are and where the vultures gather. (The King James Bible and the Revised Standard Version incorrectly translates the word vulture as eagle.) This is not talking about Christians being raptured.

 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 are other verses that pretribulationists use. The dead in Yashua will rise first and then we will "meet" with him as he comes in the clouds. It is not specific to say that we are going to be taken away or if we are going to stay and Yashua will just come and we will greet him as he sets up his Kingdom here on earth. It gets confusing as we are talking about the second or third coming of the Messiah depending on your view. For the record, there are 3 places where the word "meet" is used; in Matt 25:6, Acts 28:15, and 1 Thessalonians 4:17. There is no place where the word meet is used in the context as Yashua coming and reversing direction as in the rapture theory implies.

In Matt 24 The Disciples ask Yashua when will he return, and he talks about wars, earthquakes, and other signs of his coming. Then it says in verse 29 after the tribulation there will be a trumpet blow and the Angels will gather the elect. Notice the verse says AFTER? Then later on in verse 40 and 41 it talks about taking people away where the place that eagles, or vultures consume corpses.

This is my opinion: the wicked will be raptured and destroyed, during Yashua's return. Is there other evidence of the wicked being destroyed during the return of Yashua? Yes of course there is. In Matt 13:24-30 it talks about his return to earth and the wicked will be gathered up and burned. This is exactly what is described in Matt 13:36-42 when the Messiah explains this parable. These are the direct words of Yashua Messiah and not mine.

It is my belief that there will be a rapture, a rapture of the wicked! Prepare yourself for the tribulation!

Despite what you may or may not think of my blog, I encourage all to read their Bible and not just sit and let someone that is behind a pulpit tell you how to act and think. The Bible is rich in truth! I also encourage all to prepare for the tribulation. If I am wrong, you will be raptured away and leave items behind that your friends and loved ones will need to be able to stay alive during that time. If I am right you will be happy that you listened to people like myself.

Unclean Foods

Ok here I am a day late getting back to the blog. Real busy today but still dedicated to bring the light of Yashua Messiah to the world. Unclean foods is what today's post is and hopefully we learn something from it.

The Case to be able to eat any food at all as presented by Judeo-Christian churches.

The case to eat all types of food is found in Acts chapter 10. This is when Peter received a vision at Joppa (a town in Israel). His vision was of a table cloth descending on the earth and God told him to eat the unclean.

9: On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 
10: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 
11: And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 
12: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 
13: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 
14: But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 
15: And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 
16: This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 

The case to continue to avoid unclean animals is more in depth then just reading a few verses out of context.
You must read the entire chapter to understand what it is saying. One must also be able to understand what the difference between clean, unclean, and common is to understand what is being said here. The definition between clean and unclean should be self evident and I will not go into much detail, but would like to talk a little bit about the word common. Common refers to foods that were originally clean, but in association, is around or next to the unclean becomes common. Although it is a clean food it is not the best that is available only by association, or should I say defiled by contact.

Again, you have to read the entire chapter to get the idea of what is going on. In the beginning it talks about an Italian man that was sending some of his people to see Peter. Although Italy was primarily Israelites, as it is a nation that descended from Abraham, they were a Paganistic nation at that time. Peter considered them unclean and did not want to associate with them. Peter saw his vision and was confused on what he saw as God used food to illustrate it's meaning. Also note, Peter needed time to decipher what what being shown to him. Any person who just looks at the few verses and comes up with the idea that God was telling Peter to break his food laws is flat out silly. If peter didn't understand the vision, immediately especially when he was in the middle of it who is going to say they knew better than Peter himself?

Probably the most important verse in the chapter:
In verse 28 Peter deciphers his own vision and states its meaning.
28: And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

 This entire passage had to do with the attitude of the heart and was a lesson of association for Peter. It was to show that Peter would not become Common by association by talking to the Italian men. Let's face the facts folks if we do not speak with Pagans and others we will not be able to tell others that Yahweh loves them and that they are God's chosen people. There would be no conversions in the church, as faith comes by hearing the word of God.

This chapter does not show to eat unclean foods, but rather it does exactly the opposite Yahweh's dietary laws are still in effect and shows that the nature of Yahweh does not change. However man made doctrines change all the time. I would encourage all to read their bible and not just take the word of others even if they have a college degree and stand behind a pulpit.

The other white meat

I almost called today's post "What to do with your left over ham from Christmas."
But, rather than that, I am going to call it "the other white meat" after the commercial that refers to it on television commercials and presents it as just another alternative to eating chicken, turkey or some other type of meat.

The truth of the matter or the reality of it is that pig flesh is unsafe to eat. It is loaded with fat and cholesterol that blocks the arteries and cause heart attacks. The meat in itself will cause a disease called Trichinosis, which is an infestation of worms that attack muscles, organs, and the brain. Most people that have Trichinosis do not even know they have this condition, and is often misdiagnosed as other ailments. Often it is discovered only after the person dies and has an autopsy. This information is easy to find on the internet for those who are do not believe.

An online book I would like to share with all is called "Essential Health Issues" by Charles A. Weisman. In his book on page 44-45 he describes the reality of eating pork products. He also talks about how pigs are often kept by farmers when they are raised. To see what I am talking about click HERE and then  scroll down to pages 44-45 to read the section about pig and pork facts.

Most importantly and first of all we should see what the Bible says about eating pig flesh. Two important verses are Lev 11:7 which clearly states that pigs are unclean animals, and also Isaiah 66:17. There are other verses about eating unclean animals and such, but the truth is that pigs are unsafe even from a non-biblical point of view. I know some will try to tell you that Yahweh our heavenly father changed all that and now you can eat unclean animals, which is not correct. I will post tomorrow on why I believe that our Lord and Heavenly Father still considers unclean animals still unclean if I have time.

As far as the original sentence up top and what to do with your left over ham from Christmas,
  throw it away!

You May Be an Israelite

Greetings to all and hope everyone that is celebrating Christmas is having a blessed day, and is keeping Yashua Messiah center in all they do both today and all days.


 I recently came across a document that had been authored by Dr. Oren F. Potito and wanted to share it with others. From what I can tell from a Google search, he was a minister that died in 1980. Although I do not know much about this person, I do think he has some valid points in the proceeding document, in which I believe as he, that the 10 Israelite tribes migrated North West of Palestine. I copied and pasted the article below for all to read.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You May Be an Israelite!

By Dr. Oren F. Potito

It has been proven that the White christian peoples are the continuation of God's servant nation Israel, and that a recognition of this Identity and its implications is a matter of vital and urgent importance. We are aware of course, that there are some people who think that the Jews are Israel. However, this belief has no basis in fact for Bible history makes it very clear that 5% of the Jews are descendants of a small part of only TWO of Israel's twelve tribes. This is recognized by the Jews themselves, and is corroborated by the fact that they do not in anyway correspond to the Bible's prophetic preview of what Israel was to do and become. The remaining 95% of the Jews are Asiaic Khazars and are in no way related to the Israel of the Bible. Both in its history and its prophecies the Bible pictures Israel as a people and nation separate and distinct from Jewry, and once this fact is recognized it takes only a little study of the prophetic descriptions of Israel to see that they are exactly fulfilled in the History and development of the White Christian peoples. As this could not be the result of chance, it follows that the White Christians Nations must be Israel.

Yet the importance of this relationship does not lie entirely in the identity itself but rather in the great and urgent responsibility which this identity entails. God brought the Israel people into being to be his servant nation and; as such to be the instrument of a Great Purpose which he is working out in human history and affairs. Being Israel, therefore, it is the following nations that today constitute this servant people and face the responsibility of carrying out God's plan. United States … The tribe of Manasseh, Great Britain … The tribe of Ephraim, Germany … The tribe of Judah, Spain … The tribe of Simeon, Norway … The tribe of Naphatali, France … The tribe of Zebulun, Sweden … The tribe of Asher, Italy … The tribe of Gad, Holland … The tribe of Reuben, Finland … The tribe of Issachar, Denmark … The tribe of Dan, Iceland … The tribe of Benjamin. If you descend from any of the above nations or from any other White Christian nation, YOU ARE AN ISRAELITE! For more information concerning your lineage, write to us and we will supply you with a list of material that is available to help you determine what tribes you descend from. Unfortunately, our fathers in Israel of old proved unfaithful to this great trust of carrying out Gods plan. Instead of continuing to govern their life and actions in accordance with God's Will and Laws, they gradually turned from them to follow the evil ways of the Jews and other heathen peoples about them, with the result that the Kingdom of God ceased to function and the peace and righteousness which it had provided were replaced by war, invasion, oppression, poverty, disease and countless other evils. As the Bible record shows very clearly that the main body of Israel and Judah peoples never returned to Palestine, and as the rejection of the Messiah by the descendants of those who did return precludes the possibility of their being the Israel and Judah through which Gods purpose is to be accomplished, some have supposed that His Plan of using a Race and nation has failed and been discarded.

Unfortunately, many Christian leaders, having little knowledge of history and even less faith, have accepted this God-dishonoring supposition as truth. By teaching that Israel has ceased to exist and thus that God's Plan of using her as the instrument of His Purpose has failed, they imply that God HAS FAILED. The exile was to be temporary and corrective only--that Israel would NOT thereby cease to exist-- is definitely stated in Amos 9:9. Further, the Word declares that God prepared a new home for the Israel people into which they would be regathered and in which they would dwell during this exile. 2 SAM. 7:10. As this statement was made while Israel was still in Palestine it follows that the promise must refer to a future home in some other land. Read also Jer. 31:35-37. The Sun, the MOON , and the STARS still shine. The HEAVENS, the EARTH and the SEAS are still visible realities, and we are still having a DAY and NIGHT in their regular order. So, as God has declared that Israel is to continue as a people and nation as long as these EIGHT WITNESSES remain, it follows that Israel must still be in existence as a people and a nation today. Read the following scriptures: Gen. 12:2, Gen. 35:1, 2 Sam. 7:12-16, Jer. 33:17 and Num. 24:8-9. These in themselves prove the Israelitish identity of the previously mentioned nations, but there are many other kinds of evidence available. In history, archaeology, ethnology, philology, place names, folk lore, Bible time measures and heraldry, there is to be found a great mass of evidence proving conclusively that, after the Israel and Judah people were driven out of Palestine, they broke up into a number of tribes and clans, and at different times and under many names migrated into Europe and the British Isles. Here in accordance with the prophecy of Isaiah (Isa. 41:1) they gradually renewed their numbers and strength. Then, as foretold in Gen. 28:14, they began to emigrate to new lands, where they developed into that nation which would be known as the new JerUSAlem, U.S.A. Or the untied States of America.

This promise of the coming of our lord and his Kingdom is a matter of urgent importance to us today. For, though it is true that no one can know the day or the hour of that great event, there are many reasons for believing that it is drawing very near.

The IDENTITY MESSAGE therefore, is the Good News that the White Christian peoples and nations are the continuation of Gods servant race and nation Israel! Soon is to come that wondrous time of peace and happiness when Christ will return to earth to reign over us from the Throne of David in the NEW JerUSAlem, U.S.A., with all things governed in accordance with Gods Commandments and Laws, man will be forever free of war, oppression, poverty, disease and all the other evils which now afflict him.

The need of preparation is both great and urgent. May we respectfully suggest that you help spread this message by giving out these papers, preparing for survival and telling everyone you meet about Christ, His Kingdom and informing the people of their Identity.

YES, MY FRIEND, YOU ARE AN ISRAELITE... AREN'T YOU PROUD OF YOUR HERITAGE!

Christmas Time

Praise Yahweh one and all!

We are going to have Christmas tomorrow and I wanted to touch on the subject briefly. We all have been conditioned to buy gifts and give to others in the name of Christmas every year. I have read recently that when all is done on Christmas day it takes several months to pay off the Christmas debts for people in Europe, click here if you would like to see the article. I originally wanted to see how long for Americans, but couldn't find the answer online. I also want to remind all that going into debt is also against the Bible as stated in the book of Romans.

The Christmas or "Christ's Mass" was originally started quite a while ago and did not really originate on the day of Christ's birthday. If one thinks logically about it they can realize that Israel got cold just like it does now. The shepherds watching their flocks, or the traveling of Mary his mother during the end of December, makes one think both are unreasonable. Some people say he was born in the month of October. I have not studied it personally myself but will not argue the month of October, as it does not contradict the Bible.

The entire concept of Christs birthday (how we celebrate it as Americans) really has origins in Paganistic ideals. The day of  December 25 being yule day for the pagans. Christmas trees, flying reindeer, etc... all are Paganistic also. The Bible clearly tells us not to set up Christmas trees. I myself have no problem with the idea of celebrating the idea of the Messiah coming to earth, however the Paganistic ideas that have entered the church are unbecoming of Biblical explanation.

I want to share with everyone a book that I found on the internet that is called "Is Christmas Christian?" To look at this book, click here see it. The author of the book goes more into detail than I and is a good read. For all those that are going ahead and celebrating this holiday anyway, I pray that all will celebrate it in a fashion that is acceptable to Yahweh our heavenly father without the debt and Paganistic rituals.

Newtown Shooting vs the ongoing tragedy in CT.

It's an unfortunate tragedy of what happened in Newtown this last week. We saw the cowardly act of one lone person that brought tragedy to this town. CNN and other media are claiming that we should have firearms restrictions to curtail such future events.

Although it's true that there should be something done about such an occurrence, it's also my belief that fire arm restrictions is not the ultimate answer. I say this because if someone wants to really harm children they could have used a different weapon than a firearm to do so.

There is also talk about arming teachers or other school personnel, this too can be skirted as someone could go where kids are other than school, like a playground or a school bus and do the exact same thing. Even if everyone gives up their firearms in the country, this still would not be a solution.

 Ultimately there is nothing we can do in the long run to make sure something of this magnitude never happens again. I do agree that if people work on their own individual level to make sure this doesn't happen again, that would be the best solution. Yes, I also believe that the media should take responsibility also and not keep talking it up about this coward. This too can lead to copycat shooters in the future.

With CNN and other media, they keep talking about the kids that were murdered. But, they are doing it by addressing the possible rewriting of our Constitution. If the media really want to talk about children and doing what is right in that realm then the shooting is not where they should be addressing their attention at this particular point in time. I want to remind all that there are children being killed every day through abortion in this country and not a single person talks about this holocaust.

I have read on the internet that there are around 3500 children aborted every day in this country. It is my honest belief that during the 10 minutes or so, for the shooting to transpire, there were more than 20 children aborted in Connecticut during that time frame. I can't prove it but it is my belief given the numbers being aborted every day.

What does the Bible say about such things?
The Bible is clear that life starts at conception. Taking an innocent life at any age is also wrong. you can read about this in Exodus 20:13. I want to remind all that call themselves Christians regardless of denomination that it is our responsibility to work against the taking of innocent life. For example, if one would Google abortion petitions they would come across many they can put their name to and help to overturn Roe Vs Wade and possibly give innocent children the chance to live. This is one such petition I found just by doing a simple search. There is nothing we can do now for the children in Newton, however we can do something for other children that are soon to lose their lives in Connecticut.

Abortion is murder, and murder is wrong!

 For anyone unconvinced they are welcome to watch the video below called " The Silent Scream" for clearification.

The Assyrian Captivity

Last Monday I addressed the difference between Judah and Israel. One may ask what happened to the house of Israel? Well this is the answer in short. After the two houses split, (Judah and Israel) there was great sin that transpired in Israel. Although the two houses did split the house of Israel did last for a little over 200 years in their rebellion to Yahweh. One of the first acts of Jeroboam the leader of Israel did was to establish a system of worship that is non conducive to the laws of Yahweh. For example in the book The History of Israel and Judah in Old Testament Times by Caste, Jeroboam had a statue of a bull erected in Samaria (their capital) and called it Yahweh. This move he made was for political reasons as the bull appealed to the pagans and the name Yahweh appealed to the Israelites. Which basically watered down the faith for true believers.

God is very patient and loving as it took 200+ years to destroy Israel and he used the Assyrians to do it. God always uses our enemies to punish us for disobedience to him. It started in around the year 745 B.C. when Assyria had military excursions into Israel, and 721 B.C. was when they had finished, capturing, and relocated the Israelites of the Northern Tribe. Most Israelites were relocated just south of the Caucasus mountains, which is located in modern day Georgia (the country not the state). This movement of Israelites is called the Assyrian Captivity.

Flavius Josephus, a first century General and Scribe, in his book, Antiquities of the Jews, book XI chapter V. says "Wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond the Euphrates till now, and are an immense multitude , and not to be estimated by numbers." He wrote this around the time of Yashua (Christ). Eventually most of the Israelites migrated North away from the Assyrians and traveled   North and West through the Caucasus mountains, which is where the Israelites got their new name called Caucasian. They traveled on a route called the "Pass of Israel" once coming out on the other side they migrated to the fertile valleys of Europe to establish a new homeland. These Israelites are called the lost sheep of the house of Israel that Yashua (Christ) spoke about when he walked the earth, they also carry the name of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Although most did go to Europe, there were however some of the lost sheep that went to other parts of the world.

This is a map of Israel's migration to Europe, taken from a Bible Study site. 

This is a video of the famous archaeologist E Raymond Capt and Pastor Sheldon Emry discussing the Lost Tribes of Israel. The interview with Mr. Capt begins 23 minutes into the video. I think they do a much better job of explaining the migrations of Israel than I.

The Myth of Spiritual Israel

One important person of the Bible is a Hebrew named Abraham. Abraham was not a Jew nor an Israelite as most churches teach. Abraham lived long before Jacob Israel, or the son of Jacob, Judah. So he could not have descended from them.  Heber which was his ancestor which gave him the Hebrew title.

 His willingness to follow God in the best capacity he could, gave him and his kin a status of being God's servant race or bloodline here on earth. It's important to notice that they are servants which are leaders. In the dictionary the definition of the word "leader" is one that goes first. This principle is exactly what Yashua (Christ) did when he walked the earth.

The name Abraham has literally been used dozens of time in the Old Testament and also in the New Testament. Which means both him and his descendants are very important people. In Genesis 12:3 God clearly states that everyone will be blessed or cursed by how you treat his descendants. For those of you who claim that they are New Testament Christians and believe that this is no longer true, make sure you read Luke 19:9,10 and Romans 9:4,5.

For some unknown reason most churches have changed Israel into a spiritual Israel, which is totally unbiblical. The verses they use to try to prove their point are as following:

Isaiah 49:6 which uses the word "Gentile". They misinterpret the word Gentile to mean non-Israelite. "Gentile" is translated from one Hebrew word that is rendered into five different ways. For example the Hebrew word Goy/Goyim is translated Nations 373 times, Heathen 142 times, People 11 times, Another 1 time, and Non-Jew 0 times. God told Abraham that he will be a multitude of nations. This coupled with the fact that the entire Bible is about the race and lineage of one race of people. Millions of Israelites went into dispersion in 721 B.C. and made a multitude of Israelite nations in which most migrated to Europe.

Isaiah 56 makes use of the word "stranger" which means foreigner, of another tribe, heathen, one who is alien, or strange to Israel of the southern kingdom of Judah. This stranger is any Israelite from the Northern Kingdom of Israel who was considered outcast by Israelites of the house or kingdom of Judah. In fact verse 8 of this chapter, talks about the Israelites from the northern kingdom that would return to his law.

Matthew 28:19 states to go unto all the nations and baptize them. Once again carefully reading the scriptures, we realize they are talking about the multitude of nations that came from Abraham. If there is any doubt on who Yashua (Jesus) was referring to then reading Matthew 15:24 will clear up the fact that he came only for the lost sheep of Israel. Also Matthew 10:6 when the Messiah telling the Apostles to go only to the lost sheep of Israel makes it perfectly clear.

Mark 16:15 tells to go into the world and preach to every creature. The words ktisis and ktisma translates from Greek as creature. This word does have limitation and if one does not believe it and wants to take it literally, they would be preaching to dogs and cats. Obviously the word does have limitation, and means every creature after Adam's kind. This verse cannot by anyone's standard, justify all races of people being able to become spiritual Israel.

Acts 17:26 this verse, as all cannot be taken out of context. To say all races are of one blood line is absurb. It is simply stating that out of Adam, God made all the nations of Adam kind. This verse by St. Paul is simply paraphrasing Dueteronomy 32:8,9.

Revelation 5:9 this verse speaks very clearly of one kindred, the Israelite nations are diverse by tongues, customs, and historical developments. This does not refer to other groups of people that are not Israelites.

The point I hope all will take from this is that Israel is physical, speaking of the physical descendants of Abraham. Israel is not a rainbow coalition of all Non-Israelites to enter into a thirteenth gate of Gods kingdom. To add to this concept it is also important to mention that foreign missions  as we know it today did not exist for Non-Israelites until recent centuries, which demonstrates the fact that preaching to everything that stands up on two legs is entirely a new concept, and was not practiced by the early church. There is one thing to keep in mind, and that is; God does not change, however the doctrines of men change all the time.

House of Judah is not the house of Israel

There are many growing apostasies in most churches these days. As with all man made errors that are taught in most churches, most are unwilling to hear the truth, especially when you can prove it to them and it's right in front of their faces. Most churches teach that the Jews (House of Judah) are Israel and this is not the truth by any measure.

Who says the Jews are not Israel? Most may ask. The answer is, the Jews say that they are not Israel. Consider the following quotes that are made by Jews themselves. This is only a few of the many examples that exist. I did not make these up.

"Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew'" (The Jewish Almanac, 1980, p.3).

"...the ten tribes have disappeared, they must exist under a different name" (Jewish Encyclopedia (1905), Vol. 21, P. 249).

"The ten tribes are certainly in existence. All that has to be done is to discover which people represent them" (The Jewish Chronicle, May 2, 1879).

A quick history lesson: After the death of King Solomon, Rehoboam the son of Solomon became king of Israel. It was then that the people of the northern 10 tribes approached him and wanted the taxes reduced that Solomon imposed on them. Rehoboam answered by increasing the taxes instead of decreasing. Then the 10 tribes of the North, and the 2 of the south broke away from each other and made their own countries called "The House of Israel" and "The House of Judah." They came very close to having a Civil War. The Northern house had a new leader who was called Jeroboam. He came from Egypt from which he was in exile, as he unsuccessfully attempted a military coup against Jerusalem a few years earlier. The tribe of Benjamin went with the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Benjamin was from Nazareth in the North and was located between the Sea of Galilee and Mt. Carmel.

The point of the house of Judah and the house of Israel being separate can be brought to a pinnacle when searching the scriptures. The Bible show that Judah and Israel were at war with each other at certain times. The first time the word "Jew" shows up in the Bible is in 2 Kings 16:6. Make sure you put it in context by reading 2 Kings 16:1-7. The wars between the two nations were great and often. It is reported that the wall separating the nations were 30 feet think in some places as stated in the book "The Bible As History." Even if one believes that somehow Judah is Israel, you would have to see that the house of Judah was only part of Israel and only one tribe within the twelve and do not encompass all of Israel.

I want to add this video from Youtube of Arnold Murray explaining the differences. I do not know much about him but feel in this video he does explain the differences between the two well.

Are you Saved?

The word "Saved" is a past tense term, and used very loosely in Churches these days to influence non believers. It implies that one can be saved and already has been saved. There is a place in the Bible that states that there will be many that will think they are saved when being judged, but will be surprised in the end when God rejects them. It's noteworthy to mention that the verse says that many will think this way and not just a few. So, in my opinion that with the false teaching of the modern Judeo-churches trying to get people to say the unbiblical sinners prayer which by the way, is not found in the Bible in any way shape or form, most people that think they are saved and call themselves "Christian" will not see the Kingdom of God.

When Christians try to lead another to be "saved" they always take versus out of context to try to sway peoples opinion to their psudeo-ideology. Just a few examples which there are many, is John 3:16, which states that "whosoever believes on him should not perish but have everlasting life." The word that you should notice in this verse is SHOULD. Yes it's true you should be ok if you truly are an Israelite called by God and believe on him and are converted. John 3:16 does not say you will not perish, it says you should not perish! If I am diffusing a bomb and about to cut the green wire, and you ask will it go off, and if my response is "no it shouldn't" you would be a fool to believe that it will absolutely not go off.

Another verse that the modern churches use out of context is Rev 3:20. The claim here is that Yashua (Jesus) is knocking on the door waiting for you to open it. This is also out of context because this is written to the church of Laodicea and specifically addressed to Christians that have fallen out of grace with God, (back slidden). If you look at the verses of Rev 3: 13-14 you will see this to be true.

There are other various verses that they use. But for the sake of brevity I will not cover. However  if you look to see who the letters are written to that contain the versus you will see that they use are written to the believers of various churches, not to non-believers.

But there is good news, there is one place in the Bible that tells how someone can have their sins forgiven as being someone who is not already a member of the churches that are addressed in the Bible. This passage is in the Old Testament 2 Chron 7:14 which states that his chosen people that are called by his name (Israelite Christians) will be humble, and seek his face he will forgive their sins and cleanse their land.

Am I implying that God has specific chosen people that he has called, and they have a calling with his law written on their hearts? Yes, I am. In Jeremiah 31:31. For those who call themselves new testament Christians and think the Old Testament is no longer valid they can look at  Hebrews 8:8.

Make no mistake about it people you cannot pray your way into heaven. To say that you are "saved" is a mistake as you have not yet been judged by Christ. I encourage you to run the good race that the Apostle paul spoke of. Christ came to redeem Israel his people. Am I saying that other people who are not Israelites cannot be in his kingdom? The Bible does not mention other groups of people except when they come in contact with Israel and is silent about them. It is God's creation and the Bible is clear that anything that offends will not be in his kingdom.

Hopefully I will see you in his kingdom Brother, Praise Yahweh!

Intercontinental travel before Christ

I almost called today's Blog "Jonah ran from God." But, wanted to stress the point of where I thought he was running away to before all can be on the same sheet of music as others. Who discovered america? Most will say that Christopher Columbus discovered america. This idea is fine but, everyone has to realize that there were people here when he discovered America, so how could he have been the first to discover America? How indigenous people may have arrived in ships is what I want you to keep in mind as you read on.

Now back to the story of Jonah. It's taught in all churches that I have attended that Jonah was told by God to deliver a message to Nineveh the Capital of Assyria, everyone agrees with this. Where he was going when he decided to flee is another question. Main stream Judeo-Christianity teaches that he was fleeing from God by taking a ship from Joppa and was heading to Tarsus which is in modern day Turkey, almost directly North from Joppa. However it is clearly written that he was going to Tarshish which is located in Europe specifically in Spain. Tarshish was a shipping port during that time. Going to Tarsus in Turkey, from what I can see on the map will put you closer to Nineveh not further away.

As I said before Jonah was heading for Tarshish which is very close to the pillars of Hercules at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean sea is the way that ships would sail from Israel to the Atlantic Ocean. Once passing the pillars of Hercules they may either turn North to Europe, Turn South to Africa, or go West to the Canary Islands or beyond. The story of Jonah takes place in around the late fifth century B.C. Is there any evidence that people were traveling the world during that time? Yes, I believe there is sufficient evidence to state they were from a Biblical point of view.

During the rule of Solomon, 10 Century B.C., five centuries before Jonah, the bible states that Solomon had ships that went for 3 years and came back with Ivory, apes, peacocks, etc.. 1 Kings 10:22. It also mentions that the ships that brought the treasures from other lands came in 3 year cycles. This time frame is important because it shows the distance traveled by the ships. How far can a wind powered ship sail in 3 years? Around the world is the answer. Because it is the same amount of time that it took Ferdinand Magellan to sail around the world by wind. The types of things King Davids ships brought back are conclusive proof, at the very least the ships from Tarshish circumnavigated the continent of Africa. So where was Jonah running to after he reached the shipping port of Tarshish? No one knows for sure, but, I do know he wanted to get as far away from Ninevah that he could by getting on another ship at Tarshish.
