What is the Significance of Jacob's name?

As many know I have a prison writing ministry. I am trying to get the word of the Father behind bars. One of the men I write to is James Lowery, of which is currently pursuing a degree in theology. I have sent him copies of a couple of posts from this blog and he is interested in helping to spread the word. Obviously he is interested in peoples redemption on the outside just as much as he is on the inside.

I have never met the man in person, but do know that he has the calling from the father, as he possesses the fruit of the spirit as in Galations 5. Although him and I do not agree on everything, we do on most. I do know that he is working to find Yahweh's will for his life as we all are. He has sent me an interesting hand written post and asked if I would post it and I agreed. I would like to share it with you today.

What is the Significance of Jacob's name? By James Lowery

What is the significance of Jacob's names and how do they relate to the narrative of Genesis and the plan of God? I was recently asked this question and hope you find my answer interesting. The significance of Jacob's names and how they relate to the narrative of Genesis and the plan of God can be summed up in one word-relationship. God desires to have a relationship with mankind and this is one of the reasons mankind was created. The narrative of Genesis shows what happens when one does not have a relationship with God.

Jacob, which means supplanter, heel-grasper, or trickster, tried to go through life without keeping a relationship with God. He used deceit, manipulation, and treachery to achieve his goals. In all that he did he lived up to his name and cost him dearly. Because of his deceit, manipulation, and treatchery he was forced to flee for his life. He went to live with his uncle where he was deceived, manipulated, and tricked for twenty years. Upon his return to Canaan, Jacob wrestled with God (Gen. 32:24) and was forced to face himself. It is here that Jacob's name is changed to Israel, which means Soldier of God, Prince of God, He struggles with God, or God overcomes.

Jacob, now Israel, has learned a valuable lesson. He learned that his struggle in life was not with others, but with God. Through this night of wrestling with God, Jacob, now Israel, came to understand that the true and best blessings result from submission to God's will, not from craftily wrenching it away from one's brother. This is what God wants us to learn. That he wants to bless us, to have a relationship with us, and that the only way this can happen is when we quit struggling with God and submit to his will. By submitting to God we will be blessed and enjoy a wonderful relationship with our creator!

Christianity not politically correct enough for the Government.

Just a quick post to let everyone know what the Government maybe doing. It would appear that Christian Evangelicals may be denied access to firearm permits. This article also claims that you may end up being on a watch list by the Government just by being a Christian of any faith.

Click here to see the article.

This in turn may set a stage where Christians will not be able to defend themselves from anyone and eventually could be attacked in the future by anyone at anytime in the name of political correctness.

Please keep this in your prayers that Christianity will not be attacked physically from anyone!

Where is the valley of Armageddon located?

Anyone that has seen this blog has to come to realize that I believe that the White Western European man is from the Israelites of the Bible. This can be proven quite easily, both biblically and historically. With that being said, it can also be quite easily proven that the people of European ancestry in this country, came from Europe therefore are from biblical Israel. This is the regathering of Israel in the end times as mentioned in the bible. Because of this fact, in Ezekiel 39 (4, and 11) it talks about the size of the invading army which is huge, and will attack the Israelites. In Revelation 9:16 it says it's 200 Million men in size to be exact. The entire population of the United States is 300 million so that should give you and idea of how large this army is.

There isn't a valley in Palestine that will hold an army of this size, in fact it will not hold an army 1/50th this size and is not physically possible by any stretch of the imagination. In verse 12 of Ezekiel it states it will take 7 months to bury all the dead. This time frame shows it is the actual number, and not some symbol of some sort. The only valley on earth that will support an army this size, dead or alive is the Mississippi-Ohio-Missouri-river valley in the center of the United States.

Make no mistake about it people, the curses coming upon this land are directly mentioned in Deuteronomy 28, the blessings and curses chapter. Why are they coming upon this land and not the Jews in Palestine as many preachers in error preach they are God's chosen people. This is simply because greater than 90% of the Jews in Israeli are not from Israel originally, and don't have a drop of israelite blood in them. They are actually Ashkenazi Khzars from the footsteps of Russia that adopted the religion of Talmudic Judaism in the 8th century, not only are they not from Palestine, but the religion of Talmudic Judaism is not the religion of the bible. Our bible did not come from the Talmud which is an anti-Christ book.

We don't study our Bibles enough to know that we are God's Israelite People, we do not obey God's Laws, we dishonor his son, we corrupt the sabbath, and then we wonder why we have enemy agents in our government who disarm us while the enemy is arming to come to get us! Make no mistake about it, we have the Government we deserve. Only, and only when we as Israelites, get on our knees and worship Father Yahweh like we mean it then we can change this country's course.

Giving credit where credit is due, some of this information in this post came from the book called "The bible says: Russia will invade America! (and be defeated)" by Sheldon Emry.

If my people (Israelite Christians), which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land! 2 Chron 7:14.

May the Lord bless and keep his small remnant safe in the upcoming trials!

A possibility why we are interested in North Korea

As I have stated many times in this blog I really do not have much interest in discussing politics unless it has to do with bible prophecy. However, the recent events involving North Korea I feel, may very well lead to a global conflict. The reason that this is significant is because if a regional conflict erupts involving China and Russia, then it would be directly tied to bible prophecy.

I am talking about the BRICS summit for anyone that may have heard of it. The countries of Brazil, Russsia, India, China, and South Africa for the sake of brevity are creating their own method of trade and creation of a BRICS banking system. This in turn would leave out the American dollar by trading in their own currencies with the possibility of forming a BRICS currency, and or, bank that could surpass the dollar in global trade. In case in you don't know the American dollar is the global standard that most trade with currently.

China is the main component of the BRICS summit as they have the most amount of money and in reality would be the anchor that would hold it together. Obviously if this financial trade partnership becomes successful then the American dollar would devalue quite quickly and likely depress the Euro as well.

If the United States felt as if there was a possibility of there being a conflict with China in the future over banking and currencies then a showdown with North Korea could be the excuse to bring in military hardware and increased security in the region. It's also worth mentioning that the Chinese are preparing for war also. They are in dispute with Japan over a tiny uninhabited island, they claim that they are preparing for a war in which they imply Japan is the target. Unlikely.

China becomes weary over US troops in the region

With the US, North Korea, and China preparing for war this very well may lead to a conflict of some sort. The bible talks about a war fought against Israel by Gog and Magog in the end times which is in the valley of  Armageddon. This war is in Ezekiel 38 and 39. An armed conflict with China and Russia may end up landing their military on our doorstep if all does not go well. Most that have heard of the Gog and Magog war and  think that the war will be fought in the land of Palestine. I however know that it can not possibly be there and in my opinion it may be here in the United States. I can see this post getting lengthy and I will give my reasoning for this when I have time to post again either on Friday or Saturday this week.

Praise the Lord everyone!

Aliens March on Boston

This past Saturday about 800 Illegal Aliens marched in Mass. to encourage what they call "immigration reform." Although this is what they call it, it is in all actuality just a ploy to change the laws in an effort to legalize themselves. Photo below taken from this site: http://www.wbur.org/2013/04/06/immigration-rally

The main things they were addressing in their reform was that they wanted to become citizens of course, they also wanted to not have to get jobs, or learn English to become citizens. In other words they are going to contribute nothing to society if they become citizens and just live on welfare or other stipends from the Government, and of course we pay for that. One thing also worth mentioning is that they had a police escort by the Boston police department to their protest, at tax payers expense.

The mayor of Central Falls, Mass also gave a speech that day in favor of "immigration reform" which is an act of sedition. The Preamble to the American Constitution clearly states that the Constitution is for "themselves and their prosperity", meaning only for white western European Israelites. By rights, other groups of people should not even be living in this country, according to the Constitution, but more importantly according to the bible they shouldn't be living here either.

Most Israelites do not know they are Israelites and have lost their identity. If they knew the bible was for them directly they would know that they should be segregated from other peoples (Exodus 19:5; Deut. 7, and others), and in politics to elect only members of their own kind over them (Deut 17:15; Joel 2:17 and others).

But most importantly in Deuteronomy 28:13 Father Yahweh wants us to be the head and not the tail. However in verse 43 of this same chapter tells us that if the alien comes in among us then they will rise higher and higher as we will sink lower and lower. This chapter all should read as every single curse is upon this land right now. Only when Israelites find their identity, and do as in 2 Chron 7:14 "if my people who are called by my name (Christian Israelites) will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." When we do this, then will we have any hope of turning this mess around.

Praise the Lord for all that read and do his word!

A little less privacy in real time.

It's great news for all that want to ignore the Constitution. The Feds will soon be violating your Constitutional rights in real time. As a matter of fact this will happen as early as next year. So if you talk to someone over the internet you can expect to be listened in on.
Click here to see the article.

There are some sites that talk about every phone call and text is monitored and stored, such as this article here. However one must realize that our Government only puts out information that they want you you to believe. This in my opinion: that it's only the tip of the iceberg that is revealed. I actually believe they do more than you know right at this very moment.

For those looking for more privacy on the internet they can encrypt (your computer for free according to this site) your information or use search engines that do not record what you look at such as IXQUICK for example. But no matter how you look at it probably the best rule of thumb is to only say what you are willing to say in front of Government agents in real time. I myself have nothing to hide, and plan to keep business as usual.

Praise the Lord!

The Shroud of Turin.

There is nothing more that Christians like better than having icons that would make them feel closer to the Father. For example there are some that believe that they actually have splinters or pieces of wood from the actual cross that Yashua Messiah was crucified on. This does sound exciting, however the cross most likely was used to crucify another criminal the very next day and was not set aside as a religious relic by the Roman soldiers, as wood was a rare commodity then. One estimate I have heard is that if all the wood from the original cross that everyone has was put together in one place it would be enough wood to make 20 crosses. One should also remember that in reality, the cross was made of wood and most likely has turned to dust by now.

Anyway, today I want to look at the Shroud of Turin to try to determine if it is the authentic burial cloth of Yashua Messiah or not.

The source of information that I am seeking an answer from is from the bible itself. Looking to the Gospels for details on the crucifixion, Matthew, Mark, and Luke state that he was buried in linen. They in no way state any specifics or details on the cloth at all. However in John 19:40 there are more details than the other Gospels. It states that Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus took the body and bound it in strips of linen with spices, as the custom of the Jews (Judeans) is to bury".

When Peter entered the tomb, he saw the linen cloths (plural), and napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the other linen cloths, but folded by itself (John 20:6-7,11:44). So as a result there is no place in the bible that states the burial cloth came up over his head and over his complete body. In fact it says the opposite.The Shroud of Turin does not fit the bible description at all.

How old is the shroud anyway? A carbon dating test done in 1988 has shown that the age of the shroud to be no earlier than 1260 A.D. I am a person that believes in the carbon dating tests of science as being accurate, as both science and the bible are correct, if the bible is interpreted correctly. So as a result it is my opinion that this burial shroud cannot possibly be the shroud of Yashua.

I encourage all to read the bible and weigh it against all that they know as common knowledge. Do not take it for granted that any Clergy knows anything more than yourself. True knowledge is the only thing that will preserve our Christian faith.

Hosea 4:6
"My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me..."

Praise the Lord for all that he does!
