I like to read the scriptures literally. I feel if you can't take them at face-value,
then there is no reason to read them. For example, if the story of Noah's Ark is not
the literal truth, then why should I bother with it?
Sure, there may be hidden meanings all through,
and probably is. But why should I read something which doesn't mean what it says, or has
to be 'interpreted' according to some law which is unknown to me? Why should
I only be able to understand them if some 'priest' explains them to me?
I believe
I am as intelligent as most of the rabbis, priests, ministers, etc, out there. I
should be able to understand anything they can understand. After all, I assume the
scriptures were written for ME, as well as everyone else. They should even be understandable
by intellectually-challenged people if they are to help those people, right? So
if I can not understand them on my own, how am I to know when
some deceitful priest is lying to me?
I see the scriptures are written in three parts: history, laws,
and prophecy. Yes, I can understand why prophecy is sometimes written in fuzzy language, as
I explain on my christmas page. But
I expect the laws and history to be exactly what I read. What good is it
to read a history book that is inaccurate? None.
Mind you, I am not a scholar, prophet, or anyone special. I am just a man who is trying to
figure this stuff out. So please, if I am wrong about something, leave me a message on my
Contact page.
Just don't condemn me, okay? If you know Hebrew and are willing to
help me, please do. If you click on the "Resurrection" link below, for example, you find much
confusion and contradiction regarding the Resurrection which needs to be cleared up.
As near as I can tell, these are facts:
-- About two thousand years ago there was a man in Israel who was performing miracles
like no one else in history has ever done.
-- The Jews murdered this man, whom the ignorant now call: Jesus Christ.
-- Four days later, his grave was empty, even though it was guarded by soldiers.
-- No one else in the history of mankind has ever left an empty grave!
And so the question now is: what does it all mean?
It is up to you to read the scriptures and figure out the truth for your self -
because it is you who will be going swimming in the Lake Of Fire when the time comes. Most
people think the Scriptures are too hard to read, or too long, or too this, or, too that. They
are wrong - this is the most important thing you can do with your life! I say go to Genesis,
and start at the beginning. Once you start, just keep going till you are done! Maybe it will
take you a week, a month, or a decade, but DO IT!! Never
take someone's word for what it says or means. There are millions of people who would gladly
lie to you. There is already someone preaching what ever you can think of to believe. And
there are millions more who mean well but are just ignorant. Get out
a notebook and figure it out for yourself. Start reading today!

"Miscellaneous Things"
Jeremiah 13:23 "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?" --- The Cave
of Treasures refers to: "the Ethiopians, whose skins are black".
Ethiopians are negros. Some say the ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids were also
negro. The Egyptians were the sons of Ham. The Ethiopians and Nimrod were the sons
of Cush, son of Ham. Africa was known as the Land of Khem. Khem is Ham.
Isaiah 19:24 In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria,
a blessing in the midst of the earth; 25 Yahwah of hosts blessed them,
saying: Blessed is Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel
my inheritance.
Amos 9:7 Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Yisrael:
says Yahwah? [Yahwah loves the Ethiopians] Did I not bring up Yisrael out
of the land of Egypt [Exodus], the Philistines from Caphtor [Cyprus, Jubilees 24:30,
Jeremiah 47:4], and the Syrians from Kir? [Amos 1:5]
Ya, here is an ignored verse: Genesis 49:22 Yahusef [Joseph] is a fruitful bough, 24 ... From there is the Shepherd, the stone of Israel. Why does everyone think that the Savior would only be descended from Yahudah [Judah]? Apparently, He was descended from both nations [houses]. And that way they are once again united. He was descended from Yahudah, so He has the right to the sceptre. Also He was descended from Yahusef, that way He has the right to the inheritance. Furthermore, the right of the inheritance passed from Yahusef to his son, Ephraim. Let us not forget that his mother was the daughter of an Egyptian priest.
Numbers 6:23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying: In this way you will bless
the children of Israel. You will say to them: 24 Yahwah bless you, and keep you.
25 Yahwah make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. 26 Yahwah lift
up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. 27 So they will put my Name upon
the children of Israel, and I will bless them. [YHWH commanded them to use his Name]
How far is a sabbath day's journey? Nazarenes 95:8 Then they returned to
Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is a Sabbath day's journey from the city.
Genesis 27:29 Be master over your brothers, and let your mother's sons bow down to you. Genesis 27:37 Then Yitzchaq [Isaac] answered, and said to Esau: Indeed I made him your master, all his brothers I gave to him as servants. Guess what? Did Isaac have more than two sons?!
Hebrews 9:4 and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein
was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables
of the covenant; --- 2Chronicles 5:10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables
which Moshe put there at Horeb --- 1Kings 8:9 says only the one copy of the commandments,
but some think the original broken copy went in there as well. --- Deuteronomy 31:26 Take this Book of the Law [which Moshe wrote] and put it beside the chest of the covenant of Yahwah your Father that it may be there as a witness against you, --- Is this Book of the Law a fourth thing in the Ark?
Now, you probably know that the Semitic word messiah just means 'anointed one', right? Meaning Saul, David, Solomon, and many others can all be referred to as messiahs. The bible describes numerous messiah's. Nearly every prophet and king of Israel was anointed (presumably with oil). So messiyah means: anointed of Yahwah. Do you realize the scriptures tell us about THREE persons called: Yahshua Messiyah!? Yep, there were three of them. The first one brought Yisrayah (Israel) into the promised land after Moshe died. The second one led the Jews in the promised land after the Babylonian captivity. The third one is of course our Savior, leading all humans into that eternal promised land after the satanic captivity of this world is over. Do you notice a theme there? Yahshua the first anointed: Deuteronomy 1:38, 31:23; Yahshua 1:1-2. Yahshua the second anointed: Zekaryah 6:9-13; Ezra 3:2. Yahshua the third anointed: Matthew 3:17.
You've heard of the adulterous woman in John 8:3-11, right? She was caught in the very act of committing adultery. And certainly Yahshua handled the situation masterfully. But I wonder, where was the man? Why was the man not brought to Yahshua also? Is this a sexual bias thing?
I suppose a very small child can have no sin because he doesn't know the difference
between right and wrong. Sin is transgression of the Law, which has never been taught
to him. So if he dies he cannot be punished with hell. But once he begins to learn
the difference, he has an opportunity to choose, so he can be punished. If his parents
or siblings teach him to do wrong, it is their fault he goes to hell if he dies young,
before being saved. Forget the catholic concept of 'original sin'. We are not born as
sinners. We are indocrinated into it. You have to make a choice. Proverbs 20:11 Even a
child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
Genesis 8:21 Yahwah smelled a soothing aroma. Then Yahwah said in His heart: I will
never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is
evil from his youth. "From his youth", not from birth or conception, does not include
the catholic concept of 'original sin'. Deuteronomy 1:39 Moreover your little ones and
your sons ... who today have no knowledge of good and evil. James 4:17 Therefore to him
who knows to do good and does not, to him it is sin.
Hosea 6:2 After two days He will revive us: on the third day He will raise us up,
and we will live before Him. -- Is this the two millenia between Yahushua and now,
and the millenium of Yahushua's rule before the last judgment?
Here is how to tell which is the first month: Exodus 9:31 The flax and the barley
were smitten, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom. 32 But the
wheat and the spelt were not smitten, for they were not grown up. 12:2 This month
will be the beginning of months to you: it will be the first month of the year to
you. --Aviv (Abib) is the name of the first month, and means 'ripe' or 'spring', at the
beginning of this month the barley is declared aviv (ripe).
1Samuel 20:27 It came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, 34 the second
day of the month [the month begins with a new moon (the first visible crescent)].
Did you read in Isaiah where Yahwah says all the people who eat pork will go to the lake of fire? That includes all of the christian world. And notice he says all those who eat mice will go the lake of fire also. Now, most all people, including christians, will claim they do not eat rodents, and find such a thing gross. Isaiah 66:17 Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves, to go to the gardens [Asherah] after an [Easter] idol in the midst, eating swine's flesh (the abomination) and the mouse, they will come to an end together: says Yahwah.
So here is how it works. In the USA we have labels on our food, and all the ingredients are to be listed. Right? NO! There is a law, a human law, which ALLOWS food companies to include a certain amount of mouse, rat, and cockroach parts in your food -- and it is not required to be on the label. Do you still think you do not eat mice?
Check it out. What do you think is the first prophecy made in the bible? In Genesis 2:16 Yahwah made a prophecy which did indeed come true. So Satan did lie. Being the Father Of Lies means he was the first who conceived of the concept of actually telling someone something that is not true, and then actually going out and deceiving someone.
Most christians think that in the Garden of Eden, Satan said if Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, they would not die, they would become as gods. And many people think satan did not lie, they think Yahwah said something that did not come true. So they think the bible is discredited. So Adam and Eve ate the fruit, and did not die on the spot. They lived centuries. So it appears as if satan was right. Furthermore, satan did not promise they would actually be gods, just that they would have the same knowledge of good and evil a god has. And that was true. We do have that knowledge. But those who study the scriptures are very familiar with the claim that one-thousand years for a human is like one day for Yahwah [Psalms 90:4 and 2Peter 3:8]. And you will notice that Adam and Eve both died before they were one-thousand years old. So Yahwah's prophecy came literally true: "IN THE DAY that you sin, you will die." And everyone since them has died before reaching one-thousand years old. Every one of us has died (or, will die) in the same day (one-thousand year period) we sinned.
Genesis 2:16 Yahwah commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will not eat of it, for in the day you eat thereof you will surely die.
Genesis 3:4 The serpent said to the woman: You will not surely die. 5 Yahwah knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes will be opened, and you will be as a god, knowing good and evil.
Yes, I have read much of the gnostic work from Nag Hammadi. At first it tickled my fancy, but eventually I let go of the more extreme gnosticism. I believe in the works from the Dead Sea Scrolls because James was there. What we call Qumran is one of the two places called Damascus in our version of the bible. I hesitate to put much faith in Nag Hammadi gnosticism. There is always a good chance they were wrong.
Did you ever wonder why the Nag Hammadi translations never use the name YHWH? Is it because of the translators, or the original texts? Jeremiah 44 is a reference that the Jews in Egypt will no longer use the name of YHWH because they insist on being sinners. This must include the people who practiced extreme gnosticism at Nag Hammadi. Yahwah said He would kill them all off. And that is what happened. As they died off, they buried their documents at Nag Hammadi. This gnostic religion of error was recently re-discovered and renewed (as was the Sumerian religion of error, which was buried in the Wind Flood).
Jeremiah 44:26 Therefore hear the Word of Yahwah, all Yahudah that dwell in the land of Egypt. Behold, I swear by my great Name: says Yahwah; that my Name will not be named in the mouth of any man of Yahudah in all the land of Egypt anymore, saying; As the Father Yahwah lives.
One very good piece of evidence regarding the falsity of the gnosticism at Nag Hammadi is their known alteration of Plato's Republic. Wikipedia says: "Republic by Plato - The original is not gnostic, but the Nag Hammadi library version is heavily modified with then-current gnostic concepts." This essentially proves that they were willing to change famous works (including scripture) to match their own beliefs.
The other bad thing about gnosticism is that it comes from Simon the Magus! He's the bad Simon that you read about in Acts 8:9-24. He was a sorcerer of the highest order. The true apostle Simon (Kepha) was apalled by him, and rejected him. The catholic religion incorporates gnosticism.
- Beware of gnosticism !!
It was common in the olden days to give a double portion of inheritance to the first-born son. If you had twelve sons, you divided your property into thirteen shares, gave two shares to the first-born, and one share each to the rest of your sons. Yisrayah's first-born was Reuben, who committed adultery with a wife of Yisrayah (Israel, Jacob). So he lost the scepter, and the right of the first-born [Genesis 49:4]. The scepter was given to Yahudah [Judah], and the right of the first-born became Yahusef's [the inheritance of Yisrayah went to Joseph]. As with Jacob and Yahusef, Ephraim and Manasseh, the first-born always gets a double share: Deuteronomy 21:17 But he will acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has for he is the beginning of his strength. The ordinance of the birthright is his.
Yahusef had two sons by the Egyptian woman after his brothers sold him into slavery. So Yisrayah took the two sons as his own, and gave them each a share equal to the shares enjoyed by his other 11 sons. This way the right of the inheritance, two shares, fell to Yahusef. [Genesis 48:5 And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; 16 let my name be named on them, 22 Moreover I gave to you one portion above your brethren.] Therefore there were thirteen tribes of Yisrayah. The Promised Land they divided into eleven shares and two half-shares. Twelve total. Manassah got the two half-shares, one half on each side of the River Jordan. The Levites did not get a share, because they were temple officials. Levi received the priesthood from Reuben. Some of the versions of scripture make it sound like the "half-tribe of Manasseh" means that they are half of Yahusef, with Ephraim being the other half. But that is not so.
Yahshua [Joshua] 13:7 Now therefore, divide this land [west of the river] as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh. 8 With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, [half of Manasseh is on the east side of the river, half on the west side] Yahshua 22:7 Now to half of the tribe of Manasseh Moshe gave a possession in Bashan, but to the other half of it Yahushua gave a possession among their brothers on this side of the Jordan, westward. Yahshua 14:4 For the sons of Yahusef were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephrayim. And they gave no part to the Levites.
And so the land was divided among twelve tribes, with the thirteenth tribe left out. Later, when the nation divided in two, the ten northern tribes retained the name of Israel, while Judah, Benjamin, and Levi became known as the nation of Judah. Thirteen tribes. 1Kings 11:31 He said to Jeroboam: Take ten pieces. Thus says Yahwah, the Father of Yisrayah: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you. 2Chronicles 11:12 Also in every city he put shields and spears and made them very strong, having Yahudah and Benjamin on his side. 13 And from all their territories the temple officials and the Levites who were in all Yisrayah took their stand with him. [thus, ten tribes in Israel, and three in Judah]
Ezekial 47:13 Thus says the Sovereign Yahwah: These are the borders by which you will divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Yisrayah. Yahusef will have two portions. [again, Levi does not get a portion] 48:1-29 Now these are the names of the tribes. [Dan Asher Naphtali Manasseh Ephrayim Reuben Yahudah Benjamin Simeon Issachar Zebulun Gad - twelve, plus Levi]
1 Chronicles 27:20 of the children of Ephrayim, Hoshea the son of Azazyah; of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Yahuel the son of Pedayah; 21 of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zecharyah;
Mark 7:18 And He said to them: Are you so without understanding also? Do
you not perceive, that whatsoever from without goes into the man, it cannot defile him; 19
because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the draught?
This He said, making all meats clean. 20 And He said: That which proceeds out of
the man, that defiles the man. -- Recall Simon Kepha's vision of the sheet with the animals
on it. Some have said that this vision makes all meats clean, but Peter knew the
truth. Yahwah does not change, once He says something is unclean, it stays that
way till the end of the earth. Simon knew He was talking about Gentiles. The same
with this passage from Mark, I believe. In verse 19 is said: This He said, making
all meats clean. I am willing to bet you a nickel that part was added in later
to please Constantine and the pagans. They love their pork. Yahushua was not
talking about fleshmeats, but about the washing of hands. The Jewish traditions of silly
men were that you must sterilize your hands up to the elbows before you eat,
or you become unclean. He showed that eating a bit of dirt does not harm you.
He was condemning the Jewish 'traditions of men'. He was not making pork okay to
eat. If you are one of those christians who think it is okay to eat pork, and so
forth, please, carefully consider the words of Isayah, one of the greatest men who
ever lived, regarding the last days: Isaiah 66:15 Behold, Yahwah comes with
fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His
rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by His sword Yahwah will judge all
flesh, and the slain of Yahwah will be many. 17 Those who sanctify themselves and
purify themselves, to go to the gardens after an idol in the midst, eating swine's
flesh (the abomination) and the mouse, will be consumed together: says Yahwah.
Secrets of Enoch 33:11 I will give you, Enoch, my intercessor, the archistratege Michael,
for the handwritings of your fathers Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahaleleel, and Jared your
father. (apparently Adam and on down also wrote things for us, including the books which Moshe
edited into the Book of Genesis. And Enoch also wrote hundreds of books.)
- Yes, Yahwah's Name was known before Moshe.
- Yes, Yahwah's Law was known before Moshe.
- Yes, Humans had writings before Moshe.
I John 3:4 says: Whosoever commits SIN transgresses the Law: for sin is the transgression
of the Law.
Genesis 18:20 Yahwah said: Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their
sin is very grievous (they could only be sinners if there was a Law and they knew the Law)
Genesis 4:7 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin couches
at the door; to you is its desire, but you must rule over it. (Cain knew the Law,
therefore it was possible for his actions to be called a sin.)
Exodus 16:28 Yahwah said to Moshe: How long do you refuse to keep my mitzwah [commandments] and my torah [Law]? 29 See, because Yahwah gave you the sabbath, therefore He gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Abide every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. [proves that before the LAW was laid down in writing at Sinai in chapter 19 onwards, they already had the Law and the Sabbath]
The Humane Gospel of the Essenes bears witness that the Law was ancient in the time of Moshe:
I the True Yahwah commanded none of these things in the day you came out of Egypt, but
only this I commanded you: To do righteousness, walk in the ancient paths of My laws,
There are many people who say that no one ever knew or used Yahwah's Name before the time of
Moshe. But in Genesis it says Abraham called on Yahwah by Name, twice, and in the book of
Jasher Moshe declared his ancestors knew the Name: 79:47 Yahwah King of kings is His Name,
and He proclaimed His Name over us from the days of our ancestors,
Anti-semitism
Whenever an Arab or Muslim commits a hate crime against a Jew, the Jews jump up and down
screaming: anti-semitism! So, what is semitism? A semite is a person descended from Shem,
who was one of the three sons of Noah. Anti-semitism is therefore a crime committed by a person
who is not a semite against another person because he or she is a semite.
Also, the Jews are very proud of the fact that they are Hebrews, and when a hate crime is
committed they view it as anti-Hebrew. They consider themselves to be the only Hebrews on
the planet. So what is Hebrew? Well, let's find the very first place the term Hebrew is used
in the scriptures, shall we?
Genesis 14:13 There came one who had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew:
Abraham was a Hebrew, so his descendants are Hebrews. Hebrew means: descendant of Eber (son of Shelah). That means the Arabs/Muslims/Islamics
are Hebrews! Most Arabs are descended from Ishmael, the first son of Abraham, and from
Esau, son of Isaac. Most of the
rest of the Arabs are descended from Abraham via his second wife, Keturah. Arabs are also
Semites, as Abraham was descended from Shem. So why do the Jews stick their noses in the air,
and accuse the Arabs of anti-semitism whenever a hate crime is committed? Why do the Jews think
they are special because they are Hebrews? Why don't the Arabs and the Jews realize they
are brothers, and live accordingly?
Genesis 16:15 Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar
bore, Ishmael. 16 Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
25:1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran,
Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Jubilees 20:12 Ishmael and his sons, with the sons of Keturah and their sons, went together
and dwelt from Paran to the entering in of Babylon in all the land which is towards the East
facing the desert. 13 These mingled with each other, their name was called Arabs,
and Ishmaelites.
Cave of Treasures: When Sara (the wife of Abraham) died, Abraham took to wife Kentora, the daughter of Baktor, the king of the desert. There were born to him by her Zamran, Yakshan, Madhan, Medhyan, Ashbak, and Shoh. From these are sprung the Arabs.
Genesis chapter ten gives a list of descendants of Noah. The 21st verse has a note inserted: Genesis 10:21 And to Shem (the father of all the children of Eber), the elder brother of Yahphet, to him also were children born. So what was special about Eber? Some have said he was the first Hebrew, that is why this mention was made.
Please consider these verses:
Genesis 11:20 Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug
Genesis 11:26 Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram [Abraham], Nahor, and Haran. (and Genesis 22:23)
Genesis 14:13 There came one who had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew
Genesis 22:20 It came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying: Behold, Milcah, she also bore children to your brother Nahor. 21 Uz his first-born, Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram. 22 And Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Genesis 24:4 But you will go to my country, to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Yitzchaq [Isaac]. 10 And he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
Genesis 25:20 Yitzchaq was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
Genesis 28:2 Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. And take you a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. 5 Yitzchaq sent Yaacob away. He went to Paddan-aram [Syria] to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Yaacob's and Esau's mother.
Deuteronomy 26:5 My father [Yaacob] was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number. He became a nation there, great, mighty, and populous.
I searched around the web and did not find out where the term Syria came from. Perhaps no one knows? Certainly it is ancient. These Syrian people are coming from Mesopotamia, which was the land of Sumer. Bethuel the son of Nahor was a Syrian. He was also a Sumerian. Nahor was Abraham's brother. So most likely Abraham was a Syrian. Abraham was a Sumerian. Does Syrian equal Sumerian? Probably not. More likely, after the fall of Sumer, some of the Sumerians became known as Syrians, while the rest became known as something else (Babylonians, Akkadians, etc). Adding up the dates in Genesis and Jasher, Abraham was born 292 years after the Flood, while Noah was still alive. Noah died 350 years after "his" Flood. Abraham lived in the city of Ur in Sumer. His father was a priest who sold idols. We read of "cities" back in those days, but really, each "city" was just an extended family. There were not many people on the earth at the time. Genesis 28:2 and elsewhere we hear of a place called: Paddan-aram. This is where Abraham and his relatives were from. Aram is the Hebrew name for Syria, Paddan is a place in Aram. Genesis 11:20 tells us Abraham had a great-grandfather named Serug - is this where the term Syrian comes from?? Does Ser-ug-ian equal Ser...ian equal Syr-ian? An Egyptian is someone from Egypt, is a Syrian someone from Serug? Shem had a son named Aram, which is Syria. But Serug and Abraham were descended from the brother of Aram. Descendants of Aram are Arameans.
What about Assyrian? Is this just a split from the main Syrian family? Perhaps it was too big and they wanted to stretch out? Their name is said to come from the town of Assur, people from there were Assur-ians, Assyians. It is also said to come from their god, Ashur (Easter). But maybe they named their city and their god after they got there. Maybe they are just the descendants of Asshur, son of Shem?
Anyway, why does it seem that the Syrians and the Jews are always fighting, and always hating each other? Are they not brothers?
My Observations:
People who ask me questions usually know what answer they want to hear. If I give them the answer they want, they like it, they say I am right. If I give them the opposite answer, they think I am an idiot, they say I am wrong, and they argue with me. So if I am an idiot, why did they ask me? Or, since they are already an expert who already knows the answer, why did they ask me? If they were not going to accept my answer, why did they ask me the question? Christianity is evil! They only hear what I have to say if I say what they want to hear.
The reason most people do not see the answer is because they have locked themselves into a certain mindset. They believe the answer lies along a path they have defined, or that was defined for them, and so they are blind to other paths. It is not just god or evolution - there is a third choice. Yahwah!
Sinners get their reward in this life, that's why they prosper. But they get punished in the next life. The righteous get punished in this life (by the sinners), but they get rewarded in the next life.
I've been saying for many years now that humans have already rendered the Earth uninhabitable, but we just haven't died yet. However, our impending death is all around for those willing to look. People keep throwing their poison into the ocean, saying: It's a huge thing, it won't make a difference. But already it is not safe to eat the fish because of mercury and other poisonings. The coral reefs have been dying off for several years now. There are huge "dead zones" where life once teemed - but now everything is dead. These "dead zones" are increasing in size and number. It is said that we have already over-fished the ocean past sustainable levels. We cannot live without the ocean.
And death is here on land, also. Wildlife has been disappearing. Species are going extinct rapidly. Frogs have been disappearing in a massive die-off. And now we have the Colony Collapse Disorder to contend with. Our farmed honeybees have had a 95% death rate the last five years. Native honeybees are nearly extinct. Bumblebees have also lost 95% of their population. It is said by someone that when the bees disappear, humans will have only four years to live. This is because most of our food is pollinated by bees. Sure, some scoffers say that other animals will fill in the role, and our food will be pollinated. But those other animals do not exist in anywhere near the required number, so that is just wishful thinking. Soon we will face world-wide famine of biblical proportion. Scripture says billions of people will die.
Revelation says wheat and barley will be very expensive. And that makes sense in light of the the bee extinction problem. Wheat is a wind-pollinated crop, along with corn and rice. Barley is self-pollinating. So those staples should not be affected by the bee extinction. However, demand and price for those crops will skyrocket if they are the only crops remaining. Supply of food will shrink dramatically, and only the rich will eat (and that will precipitate WorldWar-III, which will leave only a billion or two on a devastated planet).
Death is coming to the human race, whether or not you believe in the scriptures. But if you do, and you are wondering: Right now we could be at the fifth seal of Revelation 6:9. The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse are the first four seals, which have come true already. Revelation 6:9 shows that they have the autority to kill one-fourth of the people in the world. The Plague of Justinian in the mid-500's eliminated around one-third of the human population throughout the known world, it cut Europe's population in half. Europe's Black Death in the mid-1300's killed one-third of the people from India to Iceland, including half the population of Europe. These deaths already occurred, but that does not rule out a continuing fulfillment in the future as more people are born. The fifth seal happens in heaven. The sixth seal is an asteroid or comet impact into the earth. That seems to be the next step.
My Observations:
Once upon a time the people in the center of the earth, the Promised Land, worshipped the Lord God (Ba'al El in their language). YHWH hated them, and decided to destroy them. YHWH established a nation called Yisrayah to honor his name. And they did honor him. So he prospered their nation, and gave them the Promised Land to live in forever and forever. But after a while their descendants decided to become different. They no longer called him YHWH, they called him the Lord God (Adonai El in their language). The Israelites said they worship YHWH. YHWH said they do not, they worship satan. He was so furious he threw them out of the Promised Land! First the Assyrians came and carried off ten of the tribes. Then the Babylonians came and carried off the rest. Their children cried to YHWH, so he brought them back into the Promised Land. But then their children went back and called on The Lord God, while pretending to worship YHWH. YHWH sent the Romans, and obliterated that nation completely. Nowadays the children of those Romans, who call themselves Christians, all worship The Lord God. What do you think YHWH is going to do? He is going to destroy them all, very soon.
Satan and those bad, evile gods are still here on earth. Sometimes they appear as humans, and sometimes they appear as aliens from another planet. They are doing everything they can to destroy humans, and to make the earth uninhabitable. They are making sure to poison the planet, such as nuclear waste on the land, mercury in the oceans, and chem trails in the sky. They are building up the world's militaries to be ready to fight Yahshua when He returns to take over the earth.
People ask: What is the purpose of life? That is obvious. It is a test. YHWH wants to see if you choose to be one of the good kids, or one of the bad kids. You are given a heart of stone, yet made to know the difference between right and wrong. You are placed in a world where sin is encouraged and rewarded, and doing the right thing seems frowned upon.
What will you do?
So you think the scriptures require you to sacrifice something to Yahwah? Yes, well,
sacrifice yourself!
Hebrews 10:4 It is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats can take away sins.
Scripture says the sacrifice of an animal or any other thing does not atone
for your sin. How can you give anything to Yahwah, when He owns everything (even
you)? Furthermore, you heard about the Israelites who "sacrifice" their cow or lamb
to Yahwah, then they sit down and eat it? If they eat the food, what did
they sacrifice?
Hosea 8:13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh, and eat it!
Yahwah does not accept them, He remembers their iniquity, and visits their sins.
It used to be the entire animal was burned, and in that case
the man did sacrifice something. The original Law said for you to obey. The Law
laid down at Mt Sinai
said to obey. The animal sacrifices were given to occasionally
be a sacrifice for an unintentional sin. But the people refused to
sacrifice themselves and obey. They decided it gave them permission
to sin on purpose, as the sin could be atoned (or so they thought).
1Samuel 15:22 Then Samuel said: Has Yahwah as great delight in whole burnt offerings
and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Yahwah? Behold! To obey is better than
sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.
Psalm 69:30 I will admire the name of Yahwah with a song, and will magnify Him with
thanksgiving. 31 This will please Yahwah better than an ox or young bull that
has horns and hooves.
Psalm 40:6 Sacrifice and gifts You did not desire (my ears You have opened), whole
burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Yahwah, but the
prayer of the upright is His delight. 21:3 To do righteousness and justice is more
acceptable to Yahwah than sacrifice.
Jeremiah 7:21 Thus says Yahwah of hosts, the Father of Yisrayah: Add your burnt-offerings
to your sacrifices, and eat your flesh. 22 For I did not speak to your fathers,
nor command them in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning
burnt-offerings nor sacrifices. 23 This thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken
to my voice, and I will be your Father, and you will be my people. Walk
in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
Humane Gospel of the Essenes: And also Jeremiah did bear testimony when he said,
concerning blood offerings and sacrifice; I the True Yahwah Commanded none of these
things in the day that you came out of Egypt. Only this I commanded you: To
do righteousness, walk in the ancient paths of My laws, so as to do justice, love
mercy, and walk humbly with your Yahwah
Please realize, sin and the Law existed before Moshe. Sin is already acknowledged
when Adam and Eve eat the fruit; and again in Genesis 4:7.
Genesis 7:2 Of every
clean beast you will take to you seven and seven, the male and his female; and
of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female (clean and unclean
already existed before Moshe).
Genesis 26:5 Because Abraham obeyed my voice,
and kept my charge, my commandments (mitzwah), my statutes, and my laws (torah).
Genesis 13:13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Yahwah exceedingly.
Enoch 5:4 But you - you have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of
Yahwah.
Nazarenes 49:8. Do you not know what is written? Obedience is better than sacrifice
and to hearken than the fat of rams. I, Yahwah, am weary of your burnt offerings,
and vain oblations, your hands are full of blood.
9. And is it not written, what is the true sacrifice? Wash you, make you clean,
put away the evil from before my eyes, cease to do evil, learn to do well. Do
justice...
51:15. As also Jeremiah bore witness when he said, concerning blood offerings and
sacrifices: I Yahwah commanded none of these things in the day that you came
out of Egypt, but only this I commanded you to do, righteousness, walk in the ancient
paths, do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your Father.
And Isaiah said the same thing: who asked you to kill animals and shed their blood?
Isaiah 1:11 What to me is the multitude of your
sacrifices? Says Yahwah: I have had enough of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the
fat of fed beasts. I do not delight in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12 When you come to appear before me, who required this at your hand, to trample
my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations, incense is an abomination to me, new moon and
sabbath, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates, they are a trouble to me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my
eyes from you. Yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes,
cease to do evil.
17 Learn to do well, seek justice, relieve the oppressed,
judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Isaiah 66:3 He who kills an ox is as he who slays a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an oblation, as he who offers swine's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yea, they chose their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations. 4 I will choose their delusions, and bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear; but they did what is evil in my eyes, and chose that wherein I do not delight.
Animal sacrifices to deities existed before Israel did. Moshe told the Israelites to not do what the other nations do. But they insisted on doing what other nations did. They insisted on a human king. They insisted on the Canaanite policy of not naming the deity out loud. Eating meat. Etc. Some people claim that sacrifices were added well after the Law was laid down at Sinai, but there are references to sacrifices then and even previous to then (Noah, Abraham, Passover, etc). Apparently they were to sacrifice an animal 'occasionally' because of the 'occasional' unintentional sin. But this turned into an industry. They began believing it was okay to sin since it could be atoned. The christians still believe this. Every time they sin they say it is okay because the Messiyah died to forgive them these sins which they willingly continue to commit. Yet the Messiyah said otherwise. So they continue to slay the Savior over and over, every day.
This is my opinion of Judaism: the Jews love to deny that Yahshua is the real Messiyah. They were looking for someone to crush their enemies and glorify themselves with riches and fame. So Yahshua said they were not worthy of being glorified. Yahshua said if you want to be glorified you must be worth it, it will not happen automatically. Yahshua told the Jews most of them are not going into the kingdom.
One of the things a Jew will never tell a Gentile is that all Jews get to go to the kingdom no matter how bad they are, and all Gentiles must go into the Lake of Fire no matter how good we are. They are taught that we Gentiles are just some sort of background material they experience in this life which prepares them for the next life. They are wrong as they can be.
To admit that Yahshua is the real Messiyah they have to admit the Gentiles are welcome to go to YHWH's kingdom. The other thing they will never tell us is the real name of YHWH, because they believe he is for them and not for us. It would not do us any good to know the name, they say. Really they appear to be a bunch of greedy selfish people who are trying to prevent me from getting into 'their' kingdom. They would have to admit Yahshua took the nation away from them, and therefore none of them are really Yisrayahites anymore. They are not special, they are Gentiles. They would have to admit they know how to bring Yahshua back as the king right away, but, they do not want him back! What did Yahshua say to the Jews to make them hate him so much?
Matthew 8:11 I say to you: Many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down in the kingdom of Yahwah with Abraham, Yitzchaq, and Yaacob. 12 But the sons of this kingdom [Yisrael] will be cast forth into the outer darkness. There will be weeping, and the gnashing of teeth.
What did Yahchanan the Immerser say to Yisrael to make them angry? Matthew 3:10 Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees [people of their nation]. Every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the [lake of] fire.
