To see Genesis 24:1-49 without my comments click HERE.
This chapter is the longest chapter in the book of Genesis and consists of 67 verses. Abraham was getting up there in years and didn't know how many years he had left. Knowing that Father Yahweh had promised him that his descendants would be a multitude of nations, and knowing that his son Isaac was fast approaching 40 years of age, he wanted to make sure God had the ability to work through his son Isaac.
Abraham was concerned with whom Isaac took a wife. This is because he was surrounded by Hittites which are a Canaanite tribe that were not of his blood line. There is an ongoing claim by most churches today that claim he was not to take a wife of the Canaanites because they were heathens. This is not the case because the entire blood line of Abraham had been recorded from Adam to Abraham to prove the purity of his blood line. Otherwise it would become frivolous information that really would not be worthy of being in the bible. There is no place in the bible where it says that people of other races become the same blood line of Abraham if they marry a member of Abraham's bloodline or because they believe in the God of Abraham.
Because it was a high priority to keep Isaac's blood line pure Abraham tasked his servant (which was probably Eliezer of Gen 15:2) to return to Abraham's land, which is Ur of Chaldea to find a wife (meaning a woman and not a significant other) of his own blood line. Abraham and Isaac lived in Hebron at that time.
If Isaac would have taken a wife from the Hittite's which was a Canaanite tribe, then this action would have had the same results of what happened when Esau took two Hittite women to be his wives in Genesis 26:34-35. The end result of Esau's action of corrupting his blood line created bad results for everyone because he: created a new Canaanite tribe called Edomites, made him fall out of favor with Father Yahweh, became a problem with Isaac and Rebekah, and forced him to forfeit his birthright to his brother Jacob, but more on that later.
Abraham's servant swore to Abraham that he would not get a Canaanite woman as he went to the land of Nahor. He also promised not to bring Isaac with him. This is because Canaan land was where he was to stay. After all Abraham almost lost his wife Sarah to the pharaoh of Egypt when he went there in Genesis 12.
When the servant arrived with his party back in Abraham's native land, he prayed a prayer. He asked the Father to supply him with a woman that was willing to give him and his camels a drink as a sign. Before he was done praying there was a woman there that was willing to give him and his camels a drink standing before him. After speaking to her and her family it was determined that she was the granddaughter of Nahor which was Abraham's brother and was of Abraham's blood line.
This was an act of faith that was played out by Abraham's servant. There were many different things that would have gone wrong. This could only be described as being a miracle directly from the Father. Some of the different things to consider in the scope of this chapter are as follows:
Would Abraham's servant be faithful to the task?
Would a suitable fair woman be found for Isaac? V15-16
Would Rebekah's family support her marriage to Isaac?
Would Rebekah actually marry Isaac?
How would God's will be known to the servant of Abraham?
Would Isaac and his new wife have a son to continue the Abrahamic covenant?
This entire story was repeated a second time in this chapter when Abraham's servant told Rebekah's family of the entire account. This shows that the entire process of finding Rebekah was from the Lord and could not be refuted. This was also an act of faith as the servant was able to distinguish the will of the Father for his life!

Biblical State of New England
God fearing Puritan Christians escaped Europe for a new land found on pure Christian doctrine. We have done a very poor job from letting gradualism slip in, and according to Galatians 5:9 will eventually destroy the entire lump. The Puritans literally landed less than 50 miles from Boston which now is number 3 from the bottom of the list.
Providence R.I. was found on the premise of religious freedom for Christians and now they top the list on least amount of Bible believing Christians nationwide. Albany is second. Connecticut and Massachusetts are physically between these two Cities. This news comes on the heals of another article that shows how average people interpret the bible nationwide. To see this article click HERE.
This article states:
Very few adults can name the four gospels.
Many Christians cannot identify more than 2 or 3 of the disciples.
60% of Americans can't name Five of the Ten Commandments.
82% of Americans believe "God helps those who help themselves," is a Bible verse.
A majority of adults think the Bible teaches that the most important thing in life is taking care of your family.
12% of adults believe that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife.
50% of high school seniors believe that Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and wife.
And the Sermon on the Mount was preached by Billy Graham.
I can't really speak for the entire country, however, I can speak for what I have observed in Connecticut. The majority of people that live here practice Wicca or are Atheists. It has been my observation that many who practice witchcraft (who mainly just worship nature) are also Sodomites. So in my mind, Wicca is the religion of Sodomites. This is one way of interpreting Romans 1:23-32. It has also been my attention that the people who claim to be Atheists, when you actually start to talk to them, are in fact not Atheists, but Anti-Christs. They will try to poke holes in your faith and talk bad about the Messiah in an attempt to get you to not believe in your own faith. So they don't try to promote their unbelief, but rather just try to promote Anti-Christianity.
How did we get to this position in New England when it was discovered by Puritan Christians? Over the course of time the Ministers of the land compromised their faith and diluted their beliefs. It would also help greatly if they studied the Bible and found out what the Father wants them to do as Christians, and not just go on what others have told them. The pulpits of New England are filled with Non-Israelite Judeo-Christians that practice a strange form of watered down faith that literally promotes Jew worship (those who practice the Anti-Christ religion of Judaism). These modern day Baal Priests follow the law of man more closely than the law of God and allow all forms of sin to enter the congregation including sins the bible calls abominations. Some actually will tell you that the Fathers law has been done away with, and are at a loss when you ask them to explain 1 John 3:4. The Bible is very clear the Father will not bless any person that violates his law or his word, Praise the Lord!
These online articles are something for us to think about, including myself, as we enter this long downward spiral of being transformed from a prospering God fearing nation into a Godless Babylonian society. The test of time to see where we are as Christians is now.

The Cave of Machpelah Genesis 23
Genesis
23 records the death of Sarah, Abraham's wife. Sarah is the only
woman in the bible who's age is recorded at the time of her death
which is 127. She gave birth to a child (Isaac) at age 90 and is
nothing short of a miracle that was performed by God himself.
In
this chapter Abraham's primary residence was in Hebron, which is just
west of the Dead Sea. This land was occupied by Hittites, (a
Canaanite tribe). Abraham purchased the cave from Ephron the Hittite
for a final resting place for Sarah because it just so happen to be on Ephron's land.
Although it can be readily
proven that Abraham was an extremely rich man, Ephron offered the land to
Abraham for any price he was willing to pay for it. My guess on this
is so Ephron could remain on Abraham's good side because he had the
resources to maintain a standing military of his own and lived within
a short distance to this cave
The
land was offered to Abraham for whatever price he wanted to pay for
it, however, he insisted on paying the full value of 400 Shekels of
silver for the land. Another reason for this is so the Hittites could never say that he
stole it or swindled it away from them and would remain forever
untouched, even though the Hittite nation was destroyed around 1,200
B.C.
As far as the actual cave itself.....
According to the 1965 edition of
Halley's Bible Handbook pg.101 “The Cave of Machpelah, where
Sarah was buried, is on the west slope of Hebron, in a mosque, under
Mohammedan control, who permit no Christian to enter. In 1862 the
Prince of Wales, by special permit of Sultan, entered. He saw stone
tombs of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah; and a
circular opening into a cavern below, which was supposed to be the
real Cave of Machpeolah, and which was said to have been un-entered
for 600 years.”
This
cave now houses the remains of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their wives
(except Rachel who was buried in Bethlehem). Father Yahweh has
protected the cave against vandalism throughout the centuries, even
though tombs of other important people from that time such as the
Egyptian Pharaohs and others have been broken into and vandalized.
The
Messiah stated in Matt 8:11 that
“many
shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven.” Referring
to his second coming, of course. Praise the Lord for his word!

The Blind and Deaf Servants
There are a multitude of identifying characteristics of the servant race of the Father. One would expect the servant race for who is tasked, to be aware of their identity. Father Yahweh speaking through the Prophet Isaiah 42:19-20 declares:
"Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not."
Who are these servants that are blind, deaf, and cannot see that they are the servants of our Heavenly Father?
Isaiah 49:6"...I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth."
Who are these servants that carry the Father's word unto the ends of the earth to both the Israelite nations of the world and even have gone the extra mile to bring the word to the Non-Israelite people of the world? Let's look at some more clues in Isaiah.
In Verse 8 of this same chapter we read "Thus saith the Lord, in an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages."
Again, who are these people that have gone to the ends of the earth? Who have been colonizers to bring the words of God, medicine, inventions, and have worked with natives of every continent to establish written languages?
Christianity almost is exclusively the faith of Europe, Canada, America, Australia, etc... The people that migrated through the Caucasus Mountains (thus the word Caucasian) have been a blessing to all mankind, in fact, I dare not think about how the world would be without the inventions and technological advances from the self denying Caucasian that often times puts other races of peoples ahead of themselves and their families.
Praise the Lord for his ongoing work, and in the end it will be revealed who the true people of the bible are when the veil is lifted!

People such as Pat Robertson will deny he is one of God's chosen because he is blind to his identity and deaf to hearing the truth. Regardless he will continue to be a blessing to those he helps in other nations by helping natives do things such as digging wells and teaching them not to urinate in them.
Praise the Lord for his ongoing work, and in the end it will be revealed who the true people of the bible are when the veil is lifted!

Genesis 22 Abraham Gets Tested
To read Genesis 22 without my comments
click HERE.
The very first verse of Genesis 22
states that Abraham was tempted by the Father. This temptation as it is worded is actually a mistranslation. The appropriate word that
should have been used is either “proved, or tested” according to
Strong's Concordance #5254. This can also be reasoned because the
bible is clear that the Father does not tempt anyone according to
James 1:13. The difference between testing and tempting is that
testing lifts you up, and proves your conviction, while temptations
outcome for those who fall for it only brings you down.
I believe everyone who knows the bible has heard about the story of Abraham who was called by the
Father to sacrifice his son Isaac. It was a long journey for Abraham
and Sarah to even have Isaac and to acquire the faith needed to be
the Nucleus of the Israelite nations. According to the book of Jasher, chapter 23, many times Satan tried to stop
Abraham and Isaac from going through with the test. This is the same
thing that happened with the Messiah before he started his ministry when he was tempted in the wilderness. As a last resort when the Ram
appeared and was willingly coming to Abraham to be sacrificed, Satan
tangled his horns in the thicket in an attempt to delay the ram and
have Abraham go through with the slaying of Isaac; V 72.
Many times in the Bible both Abraham
and Sarah were told they would have a son, in which from the nations
of Israel would come. With Abraham knowing that his son directly came
from the Father in a miracle, his son could quite possibly come
between Abraham and the Father. So the Father gave Abraham a test to
see what was more important to him, Isaac which came from God or God
himself. I also want to point out that this is the only place in the
bible where Father Yahweh called for a human sacrifice.
The actions of Abraham was only a test
to see if Abraham loved his son Isaac more than the Father. This is
because the Father knew he was going to have to send his son for the
lost sheep. This test is a direct comparison to the coming of the
Messiah. I can make this comparison based on these facts about the
Messiah and Isaac:
Both were prophesied to be born.
Both were named before their birth.
Both were conceived by a miracle.
Both were the only Son.
Both died, (or in the case of Isaac was
as if he did) and both went back to their father.
Both carried the wood to the site.
Both did not resist and accepted their
sacrifice.
Both, prior to, left other people alone
and went off with their fathers.
Bible scholars think Isaac was between
the years of 15-33 when this test happened, if he happened to be 33,
then he was the same age as the Messiah when he was crucified.
Isaac went to Mount Moriah and the
Messiah went to Mount Calvary.
Abraham showed his willingness to not
withhold his son from the Lord. This was proof that Abraham's
consecration was complete; Gen 22:11-12. According to Hebrew law,
anything that touches the alter from that time forward, becomes the property of, or is dedicated unto the Father.
According to “Primogenesis” by
Howard Rand on page 82;
“Through Isaac an entire race was
dedicated to God's service, for from that day forward Isaac's seed
became the Lord's. In the utterances of the prophets and throughout
the whole bible, in the story it tells, this fact is fully set forth.
Failure to recognize the fact that a race has been dedicated to serve
has prevented thousands from understanding the statements concerning
a servant people who would become witnesses to God's glory throughout
the ages. As the story unfolds, the significance of the history of
this race today represented in the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic peoples will
become more apparent. The knowledge of their activities, as they
fulfill ancient prophecies, will further establish the accuracy of
the Bible story.”
This test of faith may seem extreme to
some people but A faith that cannot be tested is a faith that cannot
be trusted. Anyone that claims that they have faith will become
tested to see what their willingness is to follow the commandments of
God. Any faith that is not tested is simply superstition. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 we are told that if and when we do come to temptation we will have the ability to bear it.
Obedience to God is an expression of our love for God!
Obedience to God is an expression of our love for God!

The Chosen Servant Race
“For thou
art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath
chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people
that are upon the face of the earth.” Deut 7:6
The leader of the Nation of Islam Louis
Farrakhan has been quoted as stating that White people are the
servant race. I agree with Mr. Farrakhan in that the Western European
men of the earth are a race of servants. However, I do not agree with
him that we are servants in the idea of propping up welfare roles for
minorities, but instead are “Israel” the servant race of Father
Yahweh.
Israel of course means to rule with
God, or to rule under God's law.
When you proclaim that the White
Western European man is the House of Israel from the bible, today
many people of the Christian faith will refute the claim by stating
something similar to “there is no specific chosen race”, while at
the same time will show an inconsistency by also claiming that the
Jews (those who practice the Anti-Christ religion of Judaism) have somehow been selected by the Father.
Until Christians accept the scriptural
and historical evidence that shows clearly who the House of Israel is
today, they will continue to claim that the Jews are of a heritage
they cannot possibly possess. It's true that some Jews may falsely
accept the title of being the chosen people of the almighty, but they
will not even entertain the possible idea of being servants of Father
Yahweh.
Not only do I have intention of showing
the Father has a selected race of people, but he also rejects those
who do not follow his word. This includes both the nations of Israel
as a whole and the individual Israelites themselves.
Since the beginning of the Adamic race
the Father has both chosen and selected those who have remained close
to both him and his word, meaning those who freely accept his laws,
statutes, and of course his judgements. This selection had its very
beginning from the Garden of Eden with Cain and Able. Of course Able
was murdered by Cain for his faithfulness and Seth took his place.
This selection continued through many generations until eventually
Abraham was selected to be the nucleus of the Israelite nation. Even
then, from Abraham, Ishmael was rejected and Issac was accepted. Then
from Issac we have Esau and Jacob (who was later called
Jacob-Israel). By rights Esau was born first of the two and should
have been selected, but the Father rejected Esau because of his
interracial marriage to two Hittite women, and instead Jacob was accepted to be the Father of the Israelites; Romans 9:13.
From there Jacob-Israel and his sons
became known as “Israel” in Egypt for 400 years of bondage and
were eventually lead out by Moses, which of course was directly
through the providence of our heavenly Father. Today the choosing and
selection of Israelite nations and Israelite people continue for
those who are faithful to his word.
I know there are some naysayers that still will
not believe that the Father has a chosen racial nation of people and
we see through the declarations of the Prophet Isaiah:
41:8 “but
thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of
Abraham my friend.”
41:9 “...
Thou are my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.”
43:10 “Ye
are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have
chosen...”
43:20 “...
to give drink to my people, my chosen.”
44:1 “Yet
now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.”
Or through the
testimony of the Psalmist:
33:12 “Blessed
is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath
chosen for his own inheritance.”
105:6 “O ye
seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.”
135:4 “For
the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar
treasure.”
And there are more.
Yes my friend, the Father does have a
chosen racial nation of people, although other peoples then Israel
can remain faithful to his word and can worship him as creator, they ultimately will not become Israel. And from this chosen race of Israel he only
accepts a small amount who are faithful to his word and are willing to be his
servants, and of course this is why he only has a small flock.
Praise The Lord!

Genesis 21 Birth of Issac
To see Genesis 21 without my comments click HERE.
In Genesis 21 the birth of Issac is mentioned, which his name means laughter in Hebrew. The main interpretation of who is doing the laughter is Sarah in verse 6. This is because she was 90 years old at the time when Issac was born, and Abraham was 100. The birth of Issac in itself is a miracle unto Sarah according to Hebrews 11:11 in the King James Version of the bible. In the N.I.V. bible (New International Version) (which I call the Non-Inspired Version), states that the miracle was unto Abraham in a footnote of the same verse. It's interesting that they attribute the miracle to Abraham when its common for men to have children latter in life than women. Also the miracle cannot be attributed to Abraham because he had 6 other children with his next wife Keturah after the death of Sarah.
The next major event is in Verse 9 is when the bible simply says that Ishmael was "mocking" and was sent away. This "mocking" according to Jasher 21:14, was that Ishmael was drawing the bow on Issac to kill him. Most bible scholars agree that Ishmael was around 15 years old then and Issac was about 4 years old. The motive for Ishmael to do this was because Abraham's wealth. Issac was to receive the inheritance where Ishmael was not according to Verse 10.
The descendants of Ishmael at this point become vague, in Genesis 25 it mentions he had 12 sons and their heredity today is difficult to follow. The Arabs, (which means black, or mixed) claim to be descended from Ishmael and Abraham, in which they very well may be. Today they are dark skinned people and we know that Abraham was fair skinned according to the bible. This is because the Muslims imported slaves into the region of Arabia and the Middle East during the 6th to 8th Century A.D. from Africa, then they eventually became racially mixed as a result.
Not all Arabs today are dark and some are actually fair. The most famous example I can use is the Iraqi Kurds that came under great discrimination, persecution, and were eventually gassed by Saddam Hussein's government. One reason there has been very little race mixing by the Kurds is because they live in the mountainous regions of Iraq, whereas the lower lands and cities are where the darker Sunni and Shiite Iraqi citizens live.
Anyway, at the end of Genesis 21 Abraham and his Captain of the Host (because Abraham had a Captain of the Host further demonstrates his wealth) who's men had taken a well by force make a covenant with Abraham which shows the faithfulness and levelheadedness of Abraham in trying times.
I thank the lord for his living word, as he is the King of Kings!
