Genesis 10 Descendants of Noah

To see Genesis 10 click HERE.

Chapter 10 of Genesis is written in such a way that it would be easy to overlook information that is here. Sons were born to Ham, Shem, and Japeth after the flood and they settled among the Heathen nations. It's important to note that Nimrod in verse 8 was a mighty hunter. Nimrod's land was the land of Shinar V.10. This may not sound like much but, it is the land where eventually the event of the Tower of Babel took place in Chapter 11. In other words it was the city of Nimrod. It's also important to know Nimrod was descended from Cush in which the curse was put upon V.8. Nimrod was a Hamite.

In verse 19 the Canaanites are also another key player in the bible. The land that they settled in spanned Southward from Sidon, Sidon means “fish” in Hebrew (obviously there was lots of fish there). The Phoencian state of Sidon along with Tyre eventually became city states of Palestine when it was occupied by Israel, most people will call the inhabitants of those cities Phoencian Hebrews.

Canaan land span from Sidon to Gaza, Gaza is the land that is nearest to Egypt. Today we would know this area as where the tiny Gaza Strip is located. The fact of where Canaan land was located is important to keep in mind as we go further into Genesis.

FYI, I primarily use the King James Study Bible for study and if something becomes unclear I revert to the Ferrar Fenton Bible for clarity because it's written in modern English. This is why I am going to eventually reference this bible in this post. I don't think the King James Version is the most accurate version, but when your discussing the bible it is the one that most people are use to using and like to see for some unknown reason.

In the Ferrar Fenton translation, V31-32 

“These are the sons of Shem, by their tribes and by their languages in their countries among the heathen. The above were the families of the sons of Noah, and their descendants, by tribes. From them they spread themselves amongst the nations on the earth after the Flood.”

In the King James, V. 31. The sons of Noah settled in Heathen lands and they learned to speak the language of the lands that they moved into. This fact is key to show that Noah's Flood was not global as some would believe as it would have destroyed these other people that spoke different languages, otherwise Noah and his descendants would only be speaking just one language instead of many. This is also important to know before reading about the Tower of Babel in Chapter 11.

When the descendants of Noah came to the heathen people of the region they benefited by the Adamites that came to bring them the knowledge of the Father, and the progeneration of civilization. Most in today's age put more faith in government and money than following the Father and his word. Until the rightful heirs of this world acknowledge who they are and step up to their positions of being priests and kings among the heathen peoples of the world nothing will change. Others can come forward and create what they think is the ultimate society, but following the bible and not putting humans over us is the ideal outlined by the bible.

Only when people step up and take responsibility for themselves and follow the bible  is when we can even get anywhere close to what the bible outlines.

Praise the Lord and his word that surpasses the test of time!

What Happens To Those Who Have Not Heard The Gospel?

There always comes a point in every Christian's life when we question what will happen to those who have not heard the good news of Yashua Messiah.

Father Yahweh according to the bible, is a just God and believes that all Israel should be given a fair chance for redemption. We all know that Christianity has not nor ever been world wide popular to the point where the masses were the majority of those who followed the faith. 

This is not just only a modern day occurrence because even when the Messiah walked the earth most did not believe. In fact he only had the original 12 disciples (students) that followed him only because they were called when he preached the gospel perfectly. We know that no one can go to the father unless he is called. So, one can easily realize that the Father is not calling every single Israelite to follow him, neither now nor then.

Verses that would indicate that the Father is not calling everyone at this time are:

John 6:44 “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 6:65 “ And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”

In fact, the point also can be made that the Messiah purposely talked in parables so the public would not understand him; Mark 4:11-12. And in Rev 12:9 the father allows Satan to deceive the entire world. The Father only has a little flock that he will give his Kingdom to; Luke 12:32. But yet, Paul said that all men come to the knowledge of God's Holy Word; 1 Timothy 2:4.

The Father has allowed the entire world to go our own way and to follow Satanic influences in the world at our desire; 2 Corinthians 4:4, and eventually when things are so bad he will return and we will know our ideas of independence without the influence of God will only lead to death and destruction. 

We have been on this course for 6,000 years, because 1,000 years to us is only a day to the Lord (6 days) 2Peter 3:8-9. In the sabbath day of rest when the Lord returns (1000 years) Revelation 19:11-16 Satan will be banished Revelation 20:3 and the world will be full of the knowledge of God Isaiah 11:9 We will be reserected 1 Corinthians 15:22-23, we will be judged Revelation 20:11-12, and the book of life will be opened; Philippians 4:3 and Revelation 3:5, and all who overcome will become rulers over the nations from the new Jerusalem Revelation 2:26-27.

So once again what happens to those who have not heard?

The answer is quite simple, those who have not heard will be raised and be given an opportunity to follow the father for probably 100 years and his word Isaiah 65:17-25 especially verse 20. This is a chance for those who have not heard, those who have made a conscious decision to walk away from the gospel and have heard will be returned to the grave promptly. THIS IS NOT A SECOND CHANCE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY REJECTED THE GOSPEL! The bible says that even some of those that have not heard when raised will still follow Satan to be condemned to the second death. 

Those who have not heard will be finally given a chance to know God and it will be a glorious day when Israel finally realizes who they are, and live for the Father; Ezekiel 37:1-14 and they shall know the true living King of Kings and Lord of Lords verses 11-14 that truly has mercy on all; Romans 11:32-33

Praise the Lord!

The Animals Are Released Genesis 9:1-29

To see Genesis Chapter 9 without my comments click HERE.

Genesis 9:1-7

After the time of the flood Father Yahweh both blessed and commanded Noah and his 3 sons to refill the area where the flood occured. The tame animals that were with Noah on the Ark in the area of the flood were soon to be released and once again would become wild animals. In the fourth verse Yah instructs Noah and his sons not to eat blood from animals, even though it was still OK for them to still eat clean meats.

Verses 8-16 God makes a covenant with Noah called a bow in the clouds. It would seem that the bow is a rainbow. Many believe that we now have a rainbow because of the flood of Noah. This would make sense if the flood of Noah was a global flood. The way a rainbow works is when light goes through a prism the light bends and becomes a spectrum of colors. When you make a seemingly infinite amount of prism's that bends light through droplets it creates a rainbow. This only happens when there are water droplets in the air to create such an event.

The Tarim Basin is where I believe the flood of Noah was. This area was a dry area on the surface, except for the snow that melted and ran into the basin from the mountain tops, and there was and still is a seemingly unlimited amount of water under the ground. For this reason the famous Silk Road that went through Asia split off into a North road and a South road that went around the basin. Traveling through the basin was a very rare event for those who did not reside in the area. Because of this area being a dry area, this is also the reason why the people did not believe Methusela nor Noah when they warned there was a catastrophic flood coming to the region. The arid conditions of the ground in the basin are so dry that any buried corpses soon become mummified.

This is a 12 minute video of the White Mummies from the Tarim Basin and this is very much worth watching. 7 minutes into it they mention the hat of a priestess which is conical. This type of design was used by the Magi (levites) who visited the baby Yashua (Jesus). To see a brief description of the conical hat click HERE.

Because the area was arid except for the mountain run off there were no droplets of water in the air to create a rainbow in that area prior to the flood. If you notice that Yah said this covenant is between him and Noah and  his family, (the bible does not say the covenant is with everyone everywhere at all times) which Noah and his family were the only people living in that huge part of the earth. It was going to take many years for the waters of the flood to leave the area providing much needed moisture to the region. People that believe Noah's flood was global and rainbows only came after the flood are really telling you that they believe there was never rain on the earth before Noah's flood. This cannot be the case because rain is a necessary part of the ecosystem and all life on earth would go extinct with out it.

In verses 20-29 I have covered at an earlier date when I posted about the curse of Ham and the racial hatred that is found in the Babylonian Talmud to see this post click HERE.

I pray all have a great day and keep the Messiah first in all they do!

Praise the Lord!

After The Flood Genesis 8:6- Genesis 8:22

To read Genesis 8:6-22 without my comments click HERE.

In chapter 8 Noah landed on the mountains of Ararat (plural), not to be confused with Mt Ararat in Turkey which is a single mountain. He sent forth two birds, one a raven, and the other a dove. At first the dove cannot find dry land because of the immense water span in the area of the Ark. Then you will notice that the dove picks an olive leaf in verse 11. Remember, just prior to that there was no dry land and now there is dry land and there is an olive tree that has leaves on it. This is important because if the entire planet had been flooded then there could be no olive tree, so of course there could not be an olive leaf after 7 months of the Ark floating  either. Then suddenly the dove finds a growing tree with leaves on it?

In verse 20 the bible states that the very first thing Noah did was build an alter to sacrifice clean animals on unto the Lord, this was the best Noah had in possessions. If you will also notice that it says "clean animals" were sacrificed. For both food and sacrifice is the reason why there were 7 of each clean animal brought onto the earth (Gen 7:2). 

This is appeasing to the Father when we offer up the best of everything we have. This is not to be interpreted as giving all your money to some church down the road so they can buy a gold plated door knob or a stain glass window. The Father does not need money, only when we surrender all to him can we walk in his glory!

It is my prayer for all Israel to surrender all to the Lord almighty!

When Good Enough is not Good Enough

There are some that believe any formal denominational belief in God will be sufficient to get them into the Father's Kingdom and at the same time believe that there are others that do not believe the right Christian way will not enter the Messiah's New Jerusalem when it comes to earth.

In many countries there are Israelites that have not heard the good news, or the gospel of the Messiah. The reason for them not hearing may be because they have not heard that their Kinsman redeemer has come, or they may not have ever heard the truth from churches and have only heard the modern false message of “just love God and ask him into your heart doctrine.” So in reality there are people who have not heard the true  message of the bible. We know that just the nature of God's justice dictates that all be given a chance to be redeemed by the Messiah, although through no fault of their own have not heard. I can see I am starting to go on a tangent and I will have to go into another post at a later date about those who have not heard through no fault of their own.

But for now in Romans 2:11 we read that “For there is no respect of persons with God.” The point I want to make is that God does not respect people and their faulty thinking of that they are good enough or some other unbiblical reason to not follow his word. Knowing that God is not a respecter of persons will let you know you are not on equal footing with God and he really doesn't care what you think his law should be.

Joel Osteen doesn't have a clue how someone would get into Christ's Holy Kingdom. This is not surprising because most clergy haven't got a clue either. The bible says they are false shepherds. I pray for anyone that follows this person.  I have posted about Billy Graham as being a false teacher at an earlier date. Click HERE for part 1, and click HERE for part 2.

Some people believe in an unbiblical view of the Father and his law and they are just good enough. Obviously this cannot be the case because there are people with beliefs in Christianity in all forms and that are contradictory to other forms of Christianity. For example one great opposing view for today's age is homosexuality. There is an openly gay Bishop in New Hampshire and there are other denominations also that believe that homosexuals are OK and welcomed into their congregations, while on the other hand there are others that believe that this is wrong, an abomination, and really do not want them in the church. To think that both ways are correct creates double mindedness.

Another example: I have personally have had an experience with a Deacon of a church that claimed; “ God installed the soul of man into the ape, and we evolved from apes." Then he claimed that the 911 hijackers went to heaven because they were reaching out to God in the only way they knew how. Everyone should know better than this, to include this Deacon that claimed this false information. We are dealing with Father Yahweh and not mans thinking when it comes to his law and his word.

Peter was sent to tell the pagan Israelites that the redeemer of Israel had come. During his ministry peter stated that Father Yahweh is not a respecter of persons and there is specific things he requires Acts 10:34-35. He really doesn't care what we think as people and we are not dealing with an all loving liberal hippie as most modern false Baal Priests teach when we are talking about almighty God.

We also know there is no other way into his Kingdom than through Yah's son the Messiah John 10:1. We also know that the true Lost Sheep of Israel cannot hear any other voice except for the true shepherd John 10:7-8. 

Peter also has said there is no other name that gives us salvation in Acts 4:12.

There are things we must do to be one of his chosen remnant Luke 6:46 and Matt. 7:21. God does demand specific things from us, mainly for the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel to repent and to seek his face with all we have 2  Chron 7:14.

Now is the time to repent (change the way you think)  Mark 1:14-15. This is really not a big thing and you should not feel overwhelmed if you are a true Israelite to follow the scriptures to its utmost. The bible says that man shall live by every word of the bible in its fullest  Matt 4:4. Any true Israelite will want to follow every word of the bible and not just pick and choose convincing themselves that they are just good enough.  Anyone that has really turned their life over to the Father has a desire to live every word in the bible and will not just think that he is "just good enough" 

Praise the Lord for his word!

Glen Beck Starting to Learn

I recently got a letter from our friends at America's Promise Ministries bringing it to my attention of an episode of Glen Beck where he is talking about European's being the descendants of Israel. He has recently become a Mormon, and as the APM letter shows, his talk has a Mormon slant to it. He believes that the people we call Jews are from the tribe of Judah, however most people know that greater than 90% of Jews are Ashkenazi Jews from Europe and have never had anyone in their family tree ever step foot in Palestine. People who adopt the Anti-Christ religion of Judaism are not from Judah, they are only practicing a religion that came from the Babylonian Captivity and their holy book is the Babylonian Talmud. I have seen other problems with his talk, so he is only partially right, but feel like it may be worth watching. Glad to see at least some of the truth getting out finally! I share part of the letter, and link to the video below. Have a blessed day!

Dear Friends:
On August 7th, my wife and I watched in amazement the Glen Beck TV show. He spent the first 20 minutes explaining how the Caucasians are the descendants of the northern house of Israel. Now he was still identifying the Jews as Judah, but overall tremendous stuff. True, he is giving a Mormon slant, but unmistakably he is identifying the Caucasian people as Israel and even gets into the necessity of God's Law. Remember this will be absolutely new stuff for most of his audience. He even gets into the great seal of the United States.

Yashua (Jesus) Came For The Lost Sheep

There's confusion today in most churches who call themselves Christian of who exactly Yashua Messiah (Jesus) came to redeem. It's a common belief that he came to save everyone, everywhere, at all times which is untrue. These churches approach their ministry with the idea that Father Yahweh is wading through different denominations is in a last ditch effort and in a life and death battle with Satan to save as many souls as possible before the ultimate return of his son in some sort of a secret rapture.

What does the bible say about this issue of who he came for? The best answer that one can give is the same answer that Yashua (Jesus) gave himself during his ministry. The ultimate answer that he gave is in Matthew 15:24 when he told the Canaanite woman that “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” If one reads the passage that this verse comes from one will notice that this woman did not rebuke his words or deny its meaning. Ultimately he did give her a blessing for her realization that she was not an Israelite nor could never become one.

Another passage that exemplifies who Israel is can be found in the Matthew 10:6 when the Messiah commissioned the Apostles when he instructed them by saying “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” There it goes again, he is only here for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Who are these lost sheep of Israel anyway? If we notice, the entire bible is written about the people we call Israel. Israel is a person in the bible and not a land mass in Palestine as many Pseudo-Christian churches teach. In fact when the true Israelite people were in Palestine they didn't even call the land Israel at that time. Instead they called the land “Canaan Land.” The only people who call Palestine, Israel, are the modern Judeo-Christian churches of today.

Now I am going to reveal where I am going with this. The descendants of Jacob Israel, which came from Father Abraham are the house of Israel. Father Yahweh promised Father Abraham that a multitude of Israelite nations will come from him (Gen 17:5-6) and be a blessing to all (Gen 12:2-3). Because there was a multitude of nations coming from Abraham via Jacob Israel, the Messiah told the Apostles to go to all the nations (of Israel) which were now pagans because of their captivity with the Assyrians; Matt 28:19; Mark 16:15, and other verses. Most Clergy will simply look at the words “all nations” and will assume it means to everyone everywhere at all times. This is why churches only in recent years have sent missionaries to Africa, China, and other non-Israelite nations of the world.

Saving the Africans would have been a lot easier for the Apostle's in the fact that Africa is closer to Palestine then Europe is if Yashua had meant "all nations of the world" instead of all the Israelite Nations.

If Yashua literally meant to go to all nations, then Africa would have been a lot closer than where they actually went when they went to the “Lost Sheep.” Where were the “Lost Sheep” when Yashua commissioned the Apostles at that time? You can find this information in some of the books of the bible as they are addressed to Israel only also; James 1:1, 1 Peter 1:1, etc.. If you follow the bible and look at where the Apostles went when he said “Go only to the Lost Sheep” that will tell you where the Israelites were at that time. They went to Rome, Corinth, Philippi, Parthia, Etc... For the most part these are on the northern banks of the Mediterranean spanning from the Caucuses Mountains in Asia Minor (which is where the word Caucasian comes from) to the Pillars of Hercules in Gibraltar. Yes, that's Europe! The bible shows that the Israelites of the bible settled in Europe. History also proves that Israel went to Europe, and still Israel will deny their birthright of being both Kings and Priests in Yahweh's Holy Kingdom. The Lost Sheep of Israel are not lost, they only have lost their identity!

I pray all Israel will stop living the life of the prodigal son and return to the father to claim their birthright!

The Flood Arrives Genesis 7:17-8:5

Yet another post on Noah's flood, there are a few chapters that cover this event. In Genesis 7:16-8:5 the overall theme is that the flood came and floated the ark. Although some of this information I have posted on other posts on this blog I do believe it is worth mentioning again because the information is important.

As those who already know that follow this blog, I believe the flood of Noah was local to Asia and was contained in an area called the Tarim Basin which is about 350 miles by 1000 miles.

In Genesis Chapter 7 verse 11 it states "...The fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." This shows that the majority of the water for the flood came from underground. But, how much water is there that could have come from under the ground? The modern day Chinese Government has located one of the worlds largest underground reservoirs in the world under the Tarim Basin. Click HERE to see the report.

The best illustration that I have seen was compiled by Fred Haberman author of the book "Tracing Our White Ancestors."

On the left above, it shows the water underneath the Tarim Basin surging up. All that would be needed is a good earthquake to break open the dome shaped reservoir and flood most of the basin. I had to make it big enough to see and know that it is going into the address on the right.

The first thing Noah does is enter the Ark and wait patiently for 7 days. When the earthquake came it was accompanied by rained for 40 days just as it says in verse 4. It produced huge amounts of water that killed every breathing thing there, and lifted the ark above the earth (by earth it means off the ground not into outer space). Then the waiting game for Noah began, the amount of time he spent in the ark was 1 year 17 days, and 7 months on the mountain.

In Chapter 8 the waters began to decrease. According to the Kingdom Identity Bible course page 39 states that the waters were at least partially drained by the Hwang Ho (Yellow) river: "Let us remember another thing; the Chinese historical record, the Shu-King, records that during the reign of King Yao, at a time beginning about the date of Noah's Flood, the Hwang Ho River carried excessive floods for three generations. Drainage out of the Tarim Basin to the eastward would have been carried off in the Hwang Ho River, and would account for this."

I know I am interjecting some of my opinion on this subject, as the bible does not give enough detail to explain every detail of every story scientifically. This is important to be as scientifically accurate as possible because the rest of the bible can be explained scientifically, are we just going to take one story and interject our own baseless claims that have no evidence? I hope not.
 I know that my opinion makes a lot more sense then the global flood theory which has no scientific evidence to support such a claim.

As long as Clergy continue to make claims that are totally unrealistic and against all scientific evidence there will continue to be people leaving the churches of America. I pray that all Clergy will think about what they do before giving their opinion on what the bible teaches. If nothing else they should just not talk about something if they have not done just the most basic research on the topic.
Praise the Lord!

The Influence of Gensis 15:6

Hi everyone, as most know I have a prison writing ministry and encourage others to share their opinions whether or not I agree with them. Today I am sharing a paper that was given to me by James Lowery. I have posted another paper of his written on this blog at an earlier time. James is a Christian and does not have computer access. He is just as concerned for peoples salvation on the outside of prison as he is on the inside. He asks that if you have any questions about his posts then feel free to drop him a letter, you have to be 18 to write prisoners. Yah Bless! Brother Frank

 Recently I was having a discussion with a Brother over how the New Testament is influenced by the Old Testament. During this discussion there was one verse that came to the forefront- Genesis 15:6, "And he (Abram) believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness." As we discussed the impact of this verse on the New Testament, we came to the conclusion that saying that the New Testament is influence by the Old Testament, more specifically, Genesis 15:6, is a gross understatement. All of Paul's writings, as well as James', have been influenced by this verse.

  To realize this we need to have a proper understanding of faith and righteousness as used in the Bible. In his study guide, "Encountering the Book of Genesis," Lattis Campbell says that, "faith is not something one has. Rather, faith is something one does. True faith is demonstrated by actively following God." For a clearer understanding of faith, we must read Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." While this is not so much a definition of what faith is, it is a description of what faith does. Two truths concerning its activity are stated here. First, faith provides "substance." Second, faith provides "evidence." Because of faith, objective reality is not required. Faith is the affirmative response to God's will and word. Man possesses faith when he takes God at his word. Faith is the acceptance of something merely because God has said it, "...blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" (John 20:29).

  In his study guide Lattis Campbell goes on to say that "righteousness is a right relationship with God who alone determines what is right or wrong. Righteousness is a personal relationship with God in which we strive to please him."

  To understand how both Paul and James used these terms in their epistles we must have an illustration of their use in the Old Testament. The simple fact is that when God had counted Abraham righteous he had done nothing but trust in God's promises.When God called Abraham out of Ur, he obeyed. He left behind the security of his family, friends, and land. Then when he was faced with the choice of taking richer lands for himself and giving the barren lands to Lot, he trusted God's promise to give him a fruitful land and he gave the richer lands to Lot (Gen. 13:5-18). Furthermore, even though he and his wife were too old to have children, he trusted that God would give him a son through Sarah (Gen. 17:15-19; 21:1-8). Abraham's trust, belief, and faith in God is clearly seen when Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. In Gen. 22:5 we read, "And Abraham said unto his young men,Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship and come again to you." Abraham's faith was so strong that he knew that he and Isaac would both come back down the mountain (cf. Heb. 11:17-19). In all of this, Abraham had done nothing to earn righteousness. He believed God and God alone made him righteous.

  In Romans and Galatians, Paul reasons that justification by works rests on the principle that men may earn their salvation by doing good. If this were true, good men would be saved by their good works and salvation would not be a free gift. But justification by faith rests on the principle that imputes righteousness to the ungodly as a free gift. "for by grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). Paul states that justification is by faith alone. To prove his point he asks if Abraham was justified before or after he received the rite of circumcision. Paul's answer is clear, righteousness was reckoned to Abraham while he was uncircumcised. Paul is not saying that Abraham's faith was a good work by which he saved himself. he is saying that his faith was what his obedience was based on. When Abraham was circumcised, he was receiving a sign or seal of the righteousness which he had through faith (cf. Rom. 3:21-5:11).
In Romans, Paul's concern is the question, "How does one come into a right relationship with God?" In the epistle of James, James' concern is with the demonstration of one's faith. Both Paul and James use the same verse to prove their point, genesis 15:6.

  To prove his point about faith, true saving faith, James asks two questions, "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and not works? Can faith save him? (Jam. 2:14)." To fully understand James' use of faith one must carefully read this verse. In it James does not state that the person he is speaking of "has" faith." He is distinguishing between one who "possesses" from one who merely "professes." In his second question he asks, "can faith save him?" Here James is speaking of professed faith, that which a man claims to have, which is not true saving faith. According to Romans the unjustified man is a condemned sinner; but in the epistle of James he is a hypocrite. Salvation is not accomplished through the cooperation of faith and works, but faith finds its channel of expression in works (cf. James 2:22). James candidly denounces the brand of self-acclaimed faith which finds no  profitable service. Genesis 15:6 was spoken years before Isaac was offered, but it was then that Abraham's faith became evident. Abraham's fame resulted from works, the result of real faith (Rom. 4:19-22); but his relationship with the Lord had been settled years before.

  Both Paul and James quote Genesis 15:6; yet seem to draw different conclusions from it. Paul did so to show that it was Abraham's attitude of trust in God that brought him into a right relationship with God. James did so to show that it was Abraham's attitude of trust in God that brought him into a right relationship with God . James did so to show that anyone who has faith in God, who is in a right relationship with God, will show the reality of that faith and relationship by conduct which is consistent with that faith.
Salvation is received in New Testament times in the same manner as in Old Testament times, by faith. When Abraham trusted in the Lord he was mad righteous. Today the same principle applies. Righteousness is placed upon the believer when by faith a believer receives Jesus Christ as Savior. Righteousness is from God, through Jesus Christ to all who receive him by faith. Will you trust in God? Will you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

Russia is for Christians

The title of this post would catch a few off guard as it does me to see that Russia is stepping up to be the leading Christian Government of the world. Recently according to one article, the leader of Russia, Putin has recognized the attacks and persecution of Christians around the world. Putin has recently urged the global leaders to denounce the persecutions of Christians globally also. Guess which Obama-Nation refuses to denounce Christian persecution?

Guess which President is considering boycott of the Winter Olympics just because there are no Queer athletes on the Russian team? Although at the moment it looks like we may attend it, it could change at anytime.

Link to Russian article denouncing Christian persecution.

Russian Orthodox Christians celebrate the Epiphany (3 Magi Kings that visited the baby Jesus) holiday in Moscow.

Russia has also passed recent legislation to outlaw sodomite weddings and public propaganda of the sodomite lifestyle to children. They will also arrest Gay tourists that travel into Russia. It's ironic that the same country that was Godless immoral nation when I was a kid during the Cold War is the same nation that seems to have any sense about what is right and what is wrong today. I also think it's very odd that the word Communism is not used in the United States media or political arena anymore for some unknown reason.

It's my prayer for the day that other nations will follow their example and promote Christianity worldwide!

Noah's Animals Genesis 7:1-16

To see Genesis 7:1-16 without my comments click HERE.

In chapter 7 of Genesis Noah enters the Ark and so do the animals. Most churches teach that there were two of every animal that went into the ark. This is not true because in verse 2 he was told to bring in two of each unclean and seven of each clean animal. Most Christian churches will not teach this simply because when we read about the difference between clean and unclean it opens the door to people suddenly realizing that Noah had clean animals for both sacrifice and for food. 

Yes, we have dietary laws that the Father put into effect for us to follow. Most Clergy when confronted with the dietary laws of the Father will tell you for some unknown reason that the laws have been done away with. I have posted previously that we are to still continue to follow the dietary food laws.

The number of animals in the Ark is another story in itself. Those who claim the entire planet was flooded with water have to claim there was a pair of every animal in the world on the ship. This Ark was 450-700 feet long in length depending on the length of the cubit measured. This is not big enough to hold every type of animal in the world. The number the ones that promote the global flood theory claim is between 3-50 million animals. Assuming millions of animals could live in an area of only several hundred feet just the logistics of taking care of the animals for Noah and his family would be a nightmare. Remember there was only eight people on the Ark according to the bible.

So you may ask how many animals were on the Ark then. What you are really asking by this question is how many animals are there that lived in that area and were known of by both Moses and Noah to be clean and unclean, according to the bible? For this question I look to the bible for answers in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.

This is a video of a man explaining the difference between clean and unclean animals. I do not know anything about him so I cannot recommend him personally.

The number of clean and unclean from these two chapters can quite easily fit inside the Ark and can be taken care of easily by the eight people inside of it.

 Based on the animals in these two chapters it becomes obvious that the number was in the hundreds instead of tens of millions.

I ran across this site which I think explains it well. To see it click HERE.

One more unrelated point I need to make is that in Gen 7:11 the bible states "...all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." 

The bible states that most of the water came from underground to flood the area where Noah was. I have stated before that I believe the Tarim Basin is the actual site of the flood. Is there any proof there was or is water under the Tarim Basin? Yes the Chinese have found one of the largest underground water sources in the world there. Click HERE. This is the water source for Noah's flood. 

Both science and the bible are true when the bible is correctly interpreted. As long as clergy tell people that they have to choose one or the other to believe there will continue to be a mass exodus from the churches.

Praise the Lord!

Do Christians Go To Heaven?

When the Messiah walked the earth he gave a famous sermon called “The Sermon on the Mount.” During this sermon he stated that the earth will be inherited by the meek (Matt 5:5). One may ask what exactly did he mean when he made this seemingly benign statement? Shouldn't the meek Christians inherit heaven? Or one may even ask do the meek Christians even go to heaven?

The verse most will quote to show Christians are going to heavens or fly off into a paradise in the clouds when they die is in Luke 23:43 King James Version when the Messiah told a thief on the cross: “...Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Notice that the comma is before the word “today.” The comma was put in front of the word today at the discretion of the translator which makes no sense in the context with the rest of the bible. In the original Aramaic or Greek there were no commas. Because of this the way it was read when it was written is that the reader would have to have to understand the context of the statement to get full meaning. 

Now I am going to reveal where I am going with this. It is my belief that the comma before the word today should have been after the word to make the sentence read “verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.” The reason I say this is because if you look at the context of the rest of the bible then it doesn't make sense to claim that this thief on the cross would go to heaven that day or any day.

For example:

In John 3:13 it is written “... no man hat ascended up to heaven...”

In Proverbs 10:30 it is written “The righteous shall never be removed...”

In Matthew 6:10 it is written “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven”

The bible says that David was a man after Yahweh's own heart, and he is going help rule in his kingdom, but yet it even states in Acts 2:34 “For David is not ascended into the heavens...”

At this point some may be scratching their head because the bible clearly states in John 14:1-4 that he has gone to prepare a place, or mansions for Christians in the heavens. Although this is true that he has and is, the mansions will not stay in the heavens and will come to earth for us to live in because in Revelation 21:2-3 the mansions of the new Jerusalem will come out of the heavens and be here on earth. For those who cannot understand what is being said, I could compare it this way, a car is made in a factory, but it doesn't stay in the factory. Or another thing to compare it to is that food is prepared in a kitchen at a restaurant but doesn't stay in the kitchen. 

On that day we will greet him when he comes in the clouds 1 Thess. 4:15-17 when he descends with the new Jerusalem. Notice the bible does not say he reverses direction and goes back to heaven with the Christians in some sort of secret rapture, but rather we will be transported through the air to the new Jerusalem. So we are staying here, the wicked are leaving just as the parable of the Wheat and the Tares when the tares will be rooted out and destroyed in Matt. 13. The position we will have in the new Jerusalem is best illustrated by the parable of the Pounds in Luke 19:12-27.

On the glorious day of the lord (Zecheriah 14:4) when he returns to earth in bodily form Israel (Israel means to rule under God's law) will rule with him just as it says in Rev 20:4 and in Rev 22:3-5.

So in closing...

It is very true that the Meek will inherit the earth as the Messiah stated and the wicked will be destroyed when he returns to establish the new Jerusalem. I have said it many times before that we are now in Father Yahweh's kingdom and we are not doing a good job at all. Hopefully all of Israel will become meek and seek his face (2 Chron 7:14) in preparation of his return. The time is now for us to act in preparation for his return as John the baptist did.

I pray all will not follow the traditions of men and keep the words of Yashua Messiah first in all they do!

Has Noah's Ark Been Found? Genesis 6:9-22

To see the dimensions that Noah was given for the Ark in Genesis 6:9-22 click HERE

On a 13,000' mountain in Turkey some claim that Noah's Ark has been found. Anytime anyone finds something and it is called a religious artifact, chances are it isn't. I would have a hard time believing Father Yahweh would allow this. The reason for this is because it would become an idol. It would seem there is an overwhelming desire by most Christians to attach themselves to an idol of some sort. Somehow they think it makes them closer to God, when the opposite is true. Examples of idols could be things like the Shroud of Turin, Many locations and objects in Palestine, and of course this recent alleged finding of Noah's Ark.

Many have been mesmerized by this shape on the ground and have incorporated the idea of it actually being the Ark into their faith. It is not a requirement to believe that any object on the earth to be an object associated with the bible to be a Christian, however, the Christians that worship these things will argue with you tooth and nail on the authenticity of these objects.

The finding of this stony structure on a mountain in Turkey is no different. There are many different reasons on why I feel this is not Noah's Ark and I list a few here.

Only when you look at it from one angle it looks remotely like a boat, this is why you will never see another picture of this shape from another angle.

It's on a mountain that is over 1,600 miles away from the Tarim Basin where Noah's flood actually was.

There is not enough water on the planet to float any water vessel to this height.

It's claimed that the mountain is called Ararat the same as in the bible. However the name of this mountain was only recently changed to Ararat from “Mount Massis” therefore there are no people from bible times that would have known this mountain by this name.

I once lived in Alaska and have seen things like this before in the mountains, so it's not an unusual site for me.

If this shape on the ground had ever been a sailing vessel at all then it is shaped like it's tapered on the ends and it would have had a keel. A keel is a design that is built into a boat to give it speed, like a sailing vessel in which the bible doesn't mention the Ark having a Keel incorporated into its design because Noah had no place to sail it to.

It's way more practical of a design to build a rectangular ship for stability reasons.

This picture of this Ark design originally came from the 1520 Geneva bible.

This shape on the ground is exactly 515 ft. in length which would be equal to 300 Egyptian cubits however, the bible doesn't say Egyptian cubits. I believe it is most likely built based on Hebrew Sacred Cubits which is 28", so it is more likely the Ark of Noah would have been 700' instead of 515'.

It's unknown by me if there had been any history of glacier activity on this mountain, if there had been then it would have destroyed any structures on the mountain including an Ark. I actually tried to research this on the internet but did not have any luck.

The Turkish Government is making money on tourists going to see this. This in itself is motive to falsely claim this shape is Noah's Ark.

The reason people believe this is because for some reason they want to see Noah's Ark or evidence of some other miracle when miracles are all around you. 

When people make suggestive statements people have a tendency to see whatever they are suggesting. If you came upon this shape on the ground any place else in the world than this mountain then common sense would tell you it is was not a ship.

Until people realize that something as simple as a blade of grass growing (which actually defies the first two laws of Thermodynamics) is a miracle, then and only then, will Christians stop running around the planet trying to see a sign of a miracle.

Sometimes you can't see the forest because all the trees are in the way.

Praise the Lord!
