The Origins of the Jews

I managed to get this from here and decided to repost to make sure this information is not lost.


Was Abraham a Jew?

It has been often stated that Abraham was the first Jew. The Bible, however, never calls Abraham by that term and for good reason. The word "Jew" is merely the modern English contraction for the word "Judahite" or "Judean." Thus, the question is not really whether Abraham was a Jew or not; but rather, WAS ABRAHAM A JUDAHITE? That is, was Abraham of the tribe of Judah? Obviously not, for Abraham preceded the tribe of Judah by 3 generations.

Abraham was a Semite (a descendant of Shem), and he also was a Hebrew (a descendant of Heber or Eber). But to say that Abraham was a Judahite is to say that he descended from his own great-grandson! That is impossible.

The decendents of Judah (Heb., Yehudah) were known as Yehudim, which means "Judahites." The New testament, written in Greek, uses the term Ioudaioi, which is best translated "Judeans."

It is somewhat confusing that almost all Bible translations employ the word "Jew" instead of Judahite or Judean. But once we learn to read Judahite or Judean, the distinctions in the Bible between Hebrews, Israelites and "Jews is clarified. But let us concentrate for now upon the various meanings of the Biblical term "Judahite. "The Bible uses the word "Judahite" in three distinct ways: (1) one who is of the tribe of the tribe of Judah in the racial sense; (2) one who is a citizen of the southern Nation of Judah, including the tribes of Benjamin and Levi; it may even include Canaanites and Edomites who are citizens of Judah; (3) One who is a follower of the religion of Judah as given by Moses and the prophets. This usage is found in Esther 8:17 and Romans 2:28,29.

The Edomite Connection

The nation of Judah, comprising the Israelite tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi, were conquered and deported to Babylon 600 years before Christ. After a 70-year captivity, about 42,000 of them returned to rebuild Jerusalem. Ezra and Nehemiah both had a difficult time keeping them from intermarrying with the heathen who had settled in Palestine during their absence. They often had to institute reforms to cleanse the people and even the priests from these unlawful marriage relationships. (See Ezra 2:62; 9:1,2,; Nehemiah 7:64; 12:23-30.)

About a century and a half later, when Alexander the Great conquered the known world and set up his Greek empire, the Greek language began to become the dominant language of the world. It was not long before the Hebrew term Yedudah ("Judahite") was replaced by the Greek term Ioudaioi ("Judeans"). This is why the New Testament (written in Greek) speaks of Judeans instead of Judahites. However, both terms have roughly the same meaning. Between the time of Nehemiah and the birth of Christ, the problem of intermarriage increased. The climax of the problem came about a century and a half before the birth of Christ, when the Judean, John Hyrcanus, conquered the heathen cities in Palestine and forced the Canaanites to become Judeans ("Jews"). Josephus, the Judean historian, writing in about 95 A.D., wrote of this:

Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumean (Greek form of Edom), and subdued all the Idumeans; and permitted them to stay in that country, if they would be circumcised and make the use of the laws of the Judeans; and they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision and the rest of the Judean ways of living; at which time therefore this befell them, that they were hereafter no other than Judeans (Antiq. Bk. 13, ch. 9, par. 1). A foornote in Josephus quotes Ammonius, an ancient grammarian, who says further: The Judeans are such by nature, and from the beginning, whilst the Idumeans were not Judeans from the beginning, but Phoenicians and Syrians; but being afterward subdued by the Judeans and compelled to be circumcised and to unite into one nation, and be subject to the same laws, they were called Judeans. This same footnote also quotes Dio, the ancient historian: That country is called Judea, and the people Judeans; and this name is given also to as many as embrace their religion, though of other nations.

Josephus continues his history of how the Judahites incorporated the Edomites and Canaanites with a history of the son of Hyrcanus, named Aristobulus: he was called a lover of the Grecians; and had conferred many benefits on his own country, and made war against Iturea and added a great part of it to Judea and compelled its inhabitants, if they would continue in that country, to be circumcised and to live according to the Judean laws. (Jos., Antiq., Bk. 13. ch.11, par.3).

Now at this time the Judeans were in possession of the following cities that had belonged to the Syrians and Idumeans and the Phonecians: (Here he lists 23 non-Israelite cities); which last (city) they utterly destroyed, because its inhabitants would not bear to change their religious rites for those peculiar to the Judeans. The Judeans also possessed others of the principle cities of Syria, which had been destroyed (Jos., Antiq., Bk. 13, ch.15, par.4).

This all took place at least a century before Christ. It is obvious, then, that by the time Christ was born a great host of the people living in Judea were Canaanites and Edomites by race, although they were Judeans by religion and by citizenship. Even the ruling dynasty of the Herods were Edomites. Josephus speaks of "Herod, who was no more than a private man, and an Idumean, i.e., a half-Judean" (Antiq., Bk. 14, ch. 15, par.2). A footnote here says: Accordingly, Josephus always esteems him an Idumean, though he says his father Antipater was of the same people with the Judeans, and a Judean by birth, as indeed all such proselytes of justice as the Idumeans, were in time esteemed the very same people with the Judeans.

The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41, says: "EDOM IS IN MODERN JEWRY."

The Esau-Edomite nation ("Idumea") ceased to exist as a separate nation at this point in history. And yet the Bible is clear that Edom would be the enemy of Israel in the latter days. How could these prophecies be fulfilled, if there are no Edomites left in the world? There is only one nation in the world that can prove ancestral ties with Edom, and the Jews themselves claim that dubious distinction.

The Jews have thus adopted the materialistic and anti-Christ attitude that characterized the father of the Edomites, Esau. As judgment for their sins, including that of the crucifixion of Christ, God cast them out of Palestine in 70 A.D., whereupon they fled to North Africa and Spain. We find what happened to them in The American People's Encyclopedia for 1954, p. 15-492, under "The Jews." Following their dispersal many spread across North Africa to Spain and during this movement converted many of the Berber tribes to Judaism. This had little effect on physical type, since most of the Berbers were likewise of Mediterranean race. That portion which moved into Spain and later northward achieved considerable wealth and prestige and became known as SEPHARDIM JEWS.

There are two main racial branches of modern Jewry: the Sephardim Jews of Western Europe and the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe. Thus far we have dealt only with the Sephardic Jews, and in conclusion we may say that according to historians the Sephardic branch of modern Jewry is a mixture of Judean blood with that of Edom, Syria, Canaan, Phoenicia and North Africa.

The Ashkenazim

In our study of the origins of this Eastern European branch of world Jewry, we shall allow the historians to tell the story. The history of the Ashkenazi Jews is almost unknown today, in spite of the fact that there are 327 books in the New York Public Library alone that deal with this history--- in addition to the Jewish Encyclopedia. it is the story of the Khazars and their conversion to Judaism.

In the year 740 the Khazars were officially converted to Judaism. A century later they were crushed by the incoming Slavic-speaking people and were scattered over central Europe where they were known as Jews. It is from this grouping that most German and Polish Jews are descended, and they likewise make up a considerable part of that population now in America. The term Ashkenazim is applied to this round-headed, dark-complexioned division (The American people's Encyclopedia,1954,p. 15-492).

In the 1960's, the number of Sephardim was estimated at 500,000. The Ashkenazim, at the same period, numbered about eleven million. Thus, in common parlance, Jew is practically synonomous with Ashkenazi Jew (Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe, p. 181). That the Khazars are the lineal ancestors of Eastern European Jewry is an historical fact. Jewish historians and religious textbooks acknowledge the fact, though the propagandists of Jewish nationalism belittle it as pro-Arab propaganda (Alfred Lilienthal, What Price Israel, p. 222).

CHAZARS: a people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews of Russia (Jewish Encyclopedia, 3rd edition, 1925).

Thus we see that the Jews themselves are well aware of the Khazar origin of Eastern Europe Jewry. But who were the Khazars? Where did they come from? Again, we shall allow Jewish historians to answer our question: The Khazars were not "Semites." They were an Asiatic Monogoloid nation. They were classified by modern anthropologists as Turco-Finns racially (Dr. Benjamin Freedman, Facts as Facts, p. 41).

KHAZARS: A Mongolian people who embraced Judaism and flourished from the 8th through 10th centuries on the territory extending between the Don and Volga rivers, and the shores of the Black, Caspian and Azov Seas. The story of the existence of such converts to Judaism reached the Jewish statesman Hasdai ibn Shaprut of Cordova in the 10th century. As a result, Shaprut wrote a letter which was ultimately received by Joseph, king of the Khazars... In his reply, king Joseph gave a detailed account of the history of the kingdom of the Khazars... (The New Jewish Encyclopedia, 1962).

Joseph then proceeds to provide a genealogy of his people. Though a fierce Jewish nationalist, proud of wielding the "Sceptre of Judah," he cannot, and does not claim for them Semitic descent; he traces their ancestry not to Shem, but to Noah's third son, Japheth; or more precisely to Japheth's grandson, Togarmah, the ancestor of all Turkish tribes. "We have found in the family registers of our fathers," Joseph asserts boldly, "that Togarma had ten sons, and the names of their offspring are as follows: Uigur, Dursu, Avars, Huns, Basilli, Tarniakh, Khazars, Zagora, Bulgars, Sabir. WE are the sons of Khazar, the seventh---" (Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe, p. 72).

For the sake of piquantry it should be mentioned that the Ashkenaz of the Bible refers to a people living somewhere in the vicinity of Mount Ararat and Armenia. The name occurs in Genesis 10:3 and 1 Chronicles 1:6 as one of the sons of Gomer, who was a son of Japheth. Ashkenaz is also a brother of Togarmah (and a nephew of Magog) whom the Khazars, according to King Joseph, claimed as their ancestor (Ibid., p. 181).

Thus we see that the Khazars themselves claimed that their ancestry came through Japheth's grandson Togarmah, the brother of Ashkenaz. Strictly speaking, then, the Ashkenazi Jews are misnamed, for they are not directly descended from Ashkenaz, but from his brother. However, this matters little to us in this study, so long as we recognize that nine-tenths of the world Jewry today is of Togarmah, rather than of Israel. The Bible says Gen. 10:1-3,: Now these generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

Gog and Magog in Modern Jewry

As Arthur Koestler pointed out earlier, Togarmah was a nephew of Magog. Here the plot begins to thicken, for most students of Bible prophecy will immediately recognize that name from reading Ezekeil 38 and 39. In this passage, Togarmah, Magog, Meshech and Tubal are all mentioned in connection with the great end-time invasion of the land of Israel. They are pictured as INVADERS, not Israelites. The identification of the Jewish Khazars with Gog and Magog is very old. Koestler writes on page 81: At some date earlier than 864, the Westphalian monk, Christian Druthmar of Aquitania, wrote a Latin treatise Expositio in Evangelism Mattei, in which he reports that "there exist people under the sky in regions where no Christians can be found, whose name is Gog and Magog, and who are Huns; among them is one, called the Gazari (Khazars) who are circumcised and observe Judaism in its entirety." This remark occurs a propos of Matthew 24:14 which has no apparent bearing on it, and no more is heard of the subject. Koestler continues with the story of Ibn Fadlan, an Arab traveler who visited Gazaria (the Khazars) in 922 A.D., concluding his account of his travels with these words: The Khazars and their king are all Jews. The Bulgars and all their neighbors are subject to him. They treat him with worshipful obedience. Some are of the opinion that Gog and Magog are the Khazars (p. 46). There is also evidence of an Edomite connection with the Khazars. The Jewish Encyclopedia, in commenting on the letter which Hasdai ibn Shaprut wrote to King Joseph, says: "In this letter Hasdai speaks of the tradition according to which the Chazars once dwelt near the Seir (Serir) Mountains." The Bible identifies the Edomites as having lived in Mount Seir in Genesis 36:8. "Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir; Esau is Edom."

The Communist Connection

"Edom" literally means RED, and it is certainly no coincidence that the major theorists and financiers of world communism have been Jews. That they should pick red as the color was associated with the Khazars many centuries earlier, according to Kostler on page 135: The legends which circulated among Western Jews in the Middle Ages provide a curious parallel to the Russian bylinda. To quote Poliak again: "The popular Jewish legend does not remember a Khazar kingdom but a kingdom of the RED JEWS

When the Khazar empire was finally destroyed by the Russians from the north, the Khazar-Jews began to disperse into what is now called Poland and Germany, as well into other eastern European lands. However, they continued to multiply and remained the most populous branch of the Jewry.

The destruction of the Khazar empire brought many Khazars into contact with their fellow Jews of the Sephardim. Together, they continued their anti-Christian activity, mainly through their practice of usury, until finally the Christian nations of Europe began to banish them. As they left, their usurious monetary practices left with them, and the European Renaissance began. Koestler quotes Cecil Roth, a Jewish historian, as writing: "In a sense the Jewish dark ages may be said to begin with the Renaissance" (p. 178). Thus, God blessed the Christian nations when they expelled His enemies of Edom, Gog and Magog.

However, the tide changed when Khazar-Jews of Gog and Magog finally succeeded in overthrowing the Russians in what became known as the Communist Revolution. This was carried out with the monetary backing of the Jewish banking houses in Western Europe and America. Thus, the rise of Togarmah, Ashkenaz, Gog, Magog, Meshech (ancient name for Moscow), Gomer and Tubal (ancient name for Tobolsk) as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39 is none other than the rise of the Bolshevik Khazar-Jews of Eastern Europe. Prophecy is unfolding before our very eyes, but as long as the true racial origin of the Jews remains hidden from Christians, few will understand how it is being fulfilled.

The Soviet Khazar-Jews of Gog, Magog, and Togarmah have already invaded Palestine and stolen it from the Arabs, as Ezekiel prophesied. The Arabs, who know the origin of the vast majority of the Jews entering Palestine today find it difficult to understand why Americans would support such an invasion. The Khazars were the traditional enemies of the Arabs during the Middle Ages, and so they recognize the true nature of the invasion.

The Jews who control the soviet government have tried to cover their historic tracks in order to prevent the Christians in the West from dropping their support for Jewish Zionism. They know that without such support from the Christians, their entire venture would be jeopardized. Thus, Arthur Kostler states on page 93 of his book: It is sad to report in this context that more than a thousand years after the events under discussion, the Soviet regime has done its best to expunge the memory of the Khazars' historic role and cultural achievements.

The Soviet Jews have also taken great pains to convince the Christian West that it is no longer controlled by the Jews and that somehow the Jews have lost control of Russia after having ruled it during its early years. Thus, they have staged a Jewish "demonstration" in Moscow, emphasizing the "downtrodden Jew" theme, so that the government would be "forced" into allowing the Jews to leave Russia. Is it not strange, however, that similar demonstrations by Christians receive no publicity in the Jewish-controlled media? Is it not strange that Christians are NEVER allowed to leave? Is it not strange that Jews are the only class in Soviet Russia that is privileged enough to leave at all?

The Struggle for the Birthright

What is it, then, that the Jews today wish to hide from the Christians? This question goes far deeper than merely the Jewish identification with Edom. The implications of this identification involve the history of the ancient conflict between Jacob and Esau over the birthright, or who the chosen people of God really are. Jacob and Esau were twin sons of Isaac, the son of Abraham. In Genesis 25 we are told that these twin sons appeared to struggle with each other even before they were born (vs.22). Esau became the firstborn, and so the birthright was supposed to be passed on to him. However, God had rejected Esau before they were even born (Rom.9:11), and thus Jacob eventually inherited the birthright.

Esau was extremely angry over this turn of events---angry at Jacob and angry at Jacob's God (Jesus Christ). From that point in history to the present time, Esau has always struggled to regain the lost birthright. The children of Esau want more than anything to be regarded as the "chosen people," and if God will not choose them and bless them, then they will choose themselves.

Revelation 16-18 tells us of a "great whore that sitteth upon many waters." This is a picture of the FALSE BRIDE OF CHRIST, who is now attempting to usurp the rulership over the earth--the inheritance that Jacob received as a part of the birthright. This "woman" rides a RED beast of red communism. She is said to be drunken with the blood of saints. The beast has 7 heads, which are said to be 7 mountains, for Moscow is a city that sits on 7 hills. This woman is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

This "city" is the counterfeit "New Jerusalem," which God was to set up at the end of time to rule all nations. The Edomite Jews have set up this false city in order to fool the Christians into thinking that they are God's chosen people, the holders of the birthright of Abraham. And they have done so by careful planning and by calling themselves Judeans and their plans Zionism. They have succeeded in gaining a great deal of support among Christians, whom they have deceived by hiding their true history.

Thus, we see the tremendous importance of discovering the true origins of the Jews. If the Christians had known that the Jews were Edom, Gog, Magog and Togarmah, they would not have been tricked into supporting the antichrists and beasts describes in the book of Revelation.

Jewish Zionism Prophesied in the Bible

Jesus told a parable in Luke 19 of "a certain nobleman" who was to leave and then return (speaking of Christ's going to heaven and then later returning). He gave His SERVANTS money with instructions to increase it in His absence. Verse 14, however, tells of another class of people who are not His servants: "But His CITIZENS hated Him and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man reign over us."

The citizens thus describe the Jews of Christ's day perfectly, for they were citizens of the remains of Christ's kingdom on the earth. At the return of the nobleman (Christ), he gave each servant what he deserved. However, verse 27 says: "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, BRING HITHER and slay them before me." In other words, bring them back here to Jerusalem and execute them! It was necessary that they be brought back where they committed their crime, in order that they could be judged legally and properly. We have similar laws in America, where the criminal must be tried in the county where the crime was committed. So we see that Jesus actually prophesied the return of the Jews to Palestine---NOT to inherit the kingdom, but to be judged for their refusal to have Christ rule over them!

In the first chapter of Malachi, the prophet reveals the activities of the Edomites in the latter days in reference to their false Zionism:

1. The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi. 2. I have loved you, said the Lord. Yet ye (Israel) say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau (Edom) Jacob's brother? said the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,. 3. And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for dragons of the wilderness. 4. Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and rebuild the desolate places; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they (Israel) shall call them the border of wickedness, and the people against whom the Lord hath indignation forever.

We see from this passage that God had laid Esau's mountain (nation) and heritage waste and had given the birthright to Jacob instead. But Esau rebelled against God and vowed to return to Palestine and rebuild. God's verdict is that he will allow the Edomites to rebuild for a season, but eventually He would "throw down" all they have built. At that time, God says, those Edomites would be known as "the border of wickedness" and would be called "the people against whom the Lord hath indignation forever." They would no longer be known as God's chosen people, but as the Accursed people of Edom, those who absolutely refuse to have the God of Jacob rule over them, those who hate the God who "stole" the birthright from their father Esau thousands of years ago. They will never forgive Jesus Christ for doing that to them, and they would rather die than acknowledge Him as their King. Thus, Jesus told the Jewish Pharisees: The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof (Matthew 21:43.)

For further study regarding the identity of that nation who was to inherit God's kingdom, see Heirs of the promise, Abraham's Children.

Another Old Testament prophet who speaks of Edom in the latter days is Ezekiel. Chapters 35 and 36 of Ezekiel speak of the bloody character of the Edomites (34:5,6), and their burning desire to possess Palestine: - Because thou (Edom) hath said, These two nations (Israel and Judah) and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there (35:10): - Thus saith the Lord God: Because the enemy (Edom) hath said against you (Israel), Aha, even the ancient high places (centers of Baal worship) are ours in possession (36:2): - Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of My jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea (Edom), which have appointed My land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey (36:5)

Notice in 36;2 quoted above that Edom's motivation in possessing Palestine is NOT that they may worship the God of Israel, Jesus Christ, but that they may possess "the ancient high places," which were the hills on which the "groves" were situated. These are the holy places of the Edomites and Canaanites, whose national religion was Baal worship! All religions have sacred spots that are meaningful to their respective religions. The Edomites are no exception. The Edomite Jews covet Palestine in order to repossess the sacred sites of their Baal religion! Obviously, Dr. Bailey Smith was correct when he said that God does not hear the prayer of a Jew. It would be blasphemous to teach that God would hear an unrepentant worshipper of Baal or any other false religion.

The book of Obadiah deals entirely with this conflict between Jacob and Esau. Verses 18, 19 and 21 conclude this book with the following proclamation by God Almighty: [v.18]- And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it. [v. 19]- And they of the south (Judah) shall possess the mount of Esau.....[v.21]- And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

Thank God for this great promise. The evil designs of Edom, with their confederates of Gog, Magog, and Togarmah, shall not succeed. Their bloody scheme of Red Communism shall not ultimately prevail. The Messianic Age shall not be ruled by Esau's "Messiah," but by Jacob's. The great whore shall be exposed as an imposter, and the true Bride of Christ shall be given her rightful position in the kingdom for God has chosen her.

To the reader: It is obvious to all that the Jews hate Christ and Christianity. The facts above reveal the true origin of that hatred; namely, the Jews today are Edomites and their allies from Eastern Europe are Gog and Magog! Thus, Bible prophecy is being fulfilled these very days and the financial breakdown of our nation was planned centuries ago and the rubber is meeting the road.

The only way for this to have happened is for good men to have done nothing.

For the Lord Our God is a Consuming Fire and it's time for good men to accept the call of God and do their part in proclaiming His Truth.

2300 prophetic years revisited

I decided to look at this prophecy a little closer and investigate why I feel the way I do about this prophecy.

The Millerite movement was heavily influenced by this prophecy which landed itself conveniently on the date of 1844 which apparently holds much in the way of motivation for Adventists around the world.

Being the contrary person I am, I had to check the numbers and make sure I could believe it. Well lets just say that the Millerite explanation left me hanging.

Number one: the counting of the days to reach 1844 is based off of a solar year model. The prophecy should be counted via prophetic years. So what we start with is the prophecy of 2300 days. If this translates to 2300 years of 360 days, then we need to multiply days x years to get to a total number of days of 828,000 days. Now divide 828,000 by 365.25 to get the actual number of years we should use to calculate which is 2267. Ok, the start date is 540bc because this is the date that Cyrus takes his place. Subtract 540 from 2267 and the date we land on is 1726. Now this date didn't really have any significance directly. So I had to take into consideration the greater meaning of the prophecy.

The 1700s were a period of significant enlightenment and an establishment of secular powers. One significant group that grew to back the creation of the USA were the Freemasons. This is a group that would not survive in a world of religious intolerance. Yet they promote religious freedom within their own constitution which was interestingly signed and approved of in 1723.

I have already suggested the tie in of this group with the description of the brick feet in Daniel's earlier prophecy of the immense image.

The rest of the prophecy goes on to discuss the constant feature and the Prince's sancturary being thrown down. During the period from 540bc to 1726ad, the Pharisee and Saducee systems began within Jerusalem, Jesus was killed, Jerusalem was destroyed by Rome, the Catholic system was created and gained political powers, secularism was born out of the rejection of such a relationship, religion began to play a side role while secularism grew, Freemasons become the first international non-religious group that organizes itself like a religion.

The secularization of religion is a Freemason ideal. Religion cannot be in connection with politics, yet it cannot be a significant influence among the people either. Freemasonry successfully puts their principles above the various religious thoughts that seperate fundamental relgious factions. Its a kind of humanism. It sounds good because it seems to focus on a natural human need. The only problem is that it completely dismembers the whole purpose of Jesus. It eliminates any thought that we may need spiritual help. It destroys the fact that sin reigns in a humans life and needs to be eliminated.

The 2300 year prophecy deals with the effects of this world becoming less and less conducive to the message of Christ. After 1726, the secular influence has only become stronger and taken on different forms. The religious freedom aspect of secularism is going to have to be accepted amongst devout people in order to be secularly accepted. Otherwise you will end up old, outdated, and unsupported. There are two religions I feel will have the hardest time transitioning. That is Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims.

090909... Huh? What?

Ok. Being in the position I am to review the goings on of the big three elements of Satan/Lucifer's machinations, I know that the occult fraternities keeps track of dates.

This particular date may have some significance. Who knows. The reason I am concerned is due to the number of results you get for searching this date. It may be a fluke.

Lets hope so.

I do know the financial situation has been promised to go into shock. Maybe this will be the surprise. Some sources were saying the end of summer would bring some pretty heavy troubles. Will this date be the turning point?

Anyway I am writing this today to just put my two cents in on the date as well before it gets here.

Satan's Machinations Part 2

In observing Satan's system at work, I see how his system of government appears to be a way to manipulate time almost.

Again, Satan is a master manipulator of this material world and the things in it. So ultimately he cannot disturb God's timetable because God is spirit and truth. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is past, present, and future. Satan can only create a weak version of this on earth but unfortunately what he has created on earth is effective.

He cannot bend time to his will but he seems to be able to manipulate people into following a pattern of preparedness into his will.

In my previous blog I described the three branches of Satan's government which follows his tried and true triumvirate of man, woman, and child. Which are respectively, the church system, the occult fraternal system, and Islam. These can also be respectively referred to as Satan's version of past, present, and future.

The only problem with this is that Satan's scheme has to coexist within God's time table. So Satan creates the next best thing. All of his realities must exist simultaneously.

As to how the Church system relates to Satan's past schematic, the Catholic church bears the historical elements of religious history. The Catholic church picked up the mantle of Jewish history and also incorporated the going pagan practices of the day while also eliminating all competition at that time. The Catholics in essence grabbed human history and molded it in their hands. Ultimately when people look into the past in any other way other than scientific, they reference the available information locked away in the recesses of the Catholic church.

Satan's present is handled by the wildly structured occult fraternities. The current events of the day such as media, financial, governmental, warring, and other things that stay on the minds of people are handled by his secular branch of government. People are pacified by the things that this group bangs out. These occult fraternities are varied because their purposes are not the same and differ by location as well. Ultimately they all have the same goal of keeping people busy with things that have nothing to do with their salvation. We see these fraternities in everything we do but due to the fact that most people live in the moment, we don't see it. These fraternities don't live in the moment. They do things today that will benefit their goals three generations from now. Scary stuff.

Satan's future system is handled by Islam. Now this is not to say that Islam will be the new world religion or the system. This is not how Satan's system works. Satan cannot control time so he has to have something that can stand in the psyche of humans as a prophet. So Islam is based off of the prophet Mohammad. We all know this. Islam is now the largest member religion on Earth. Its existence is completely a mind trick for people. It will not be completely accepted and that is the key and exactly what Satan wants to happen.

The reality that Satan sets up, his past,present, and future scenario, are all an elaborate ploy to mislead and misguide the total human race.

He is successfully compromising the material world as we know it. This is why it is important to remember how to access our spiritual qualities so that we have something that is not tainted by Satan's meddling. Due to the decadence of today's advancements, spiritual qualities are not seen as effective and almost like a wast of time. It are those spiritual qualities that humans will have an abundance of versus anything material that we can gain.

Satan has gained control of so much but he will never gain control of the Holy Spirit or God's Love or Jesus sacrifice.

Satan's Machinations Part 1

The better mouse trap!

It is in our time that the largest battle for the human mind ensues.

It is not for our flesh but for our spirit. Humans are amazing creatures being able to manipulate the material world to an extent and utilize the spiritual world as well.

This may be why we are so unique within this macrocosm.

Although quite uniquely made in God's image one angel didn't exactly feel we were up to snuff. This angel being Lucifer.

Lucifer was created and arrayed with beauty and knowlege and had the privilege of being in heaven and also to partake in the greatest creation of all time. This would be the creation of this material world we know as the universe.

Lucifer, being as fabulous as I'm sure he thought himself to be, was assigned the job of serving these very simple mud creatures by teaching them how to manipulate this physical world of sorts. Besides he was the best angel to do so because of his enlightened state.

He probably thought that this work would be totally demeaning due to being so fabulous. So devised a plan. A plan that would knock mankind off of an easier course but one that would ultimately get back on track.

Satan was ultimately kicked out of heaven and sent here to torment mankind until Judgement Day.

How does he do what he does on earth? How do individuals like me and you fall into his trappings? What are his trappings? How does the machinations come into it?

Well that is what I want to discuss. How does Satan ensnare people to leave God?

Let us take a mouse trap for instance. It is simple. Food based distraction. Most mice are always hungry and that is what gets them.

Humans on the other hand have many desires and for a lot of people it is a little more complicated than cheese. We desire things, material things. Like cars, houses, even more mundain things such as water and food.

Humans should know that ultimately what will save us from Satan's clutches is our perspective on our spiritual wellness. We should also know that we are a unique combo of material and spiritual beings. Satan's job is to make us concentrate totally on our material existances and ignore the spiritual needs of ourselves.

Satan would like us to think that there is nothing spiritual about us. He would like us to think that we are what he says we are. A useless lump of clay. Sadly a lot of humans stop at what they are materially worth instead of looking toward all of the spiritual benefits that can be attained. In essence we cannot see the rest of the open trap-free floor for concentrating on that one piece of cheese.

So how does Satan do this specifically? Well we gotta look. The interesting thing is that his activities can be found because he "MUST" use the material world to control us. This was evident in the garden of eden where he used a snake.

Satan cannot use the Holy Spirit to do anything. It is holy and he is not.

So what in the material world can we attribute to him? Consider the meaning of schemes or machinations. They both mean plans done in secret. So Satan's activity is in the material world but secretive activity.

We are not supposed to know. That is the whole point. Should we attempt to find out? Heck yeah!

Another part of Satan's mouse trap is that he doesn't just use one type of trap. For humans you must use a number of different types to keep us busy. One extremely useful trap is that of group think.

It is kind of like how all of those lemmings throw themselves over the clif. You would think one of em would stop and go, "Hey wait a minute!". Not likely.

If Satan can direct most of mankind down a path, he will direct almost all of them.

Now there are three main branches I have discovered that Satan uses. In fact he has used the same three for centuries. If you look at a lot of the ancient pagan religions, they often pay homage to three types of dieties. Of course they are not all exactly the same but the main players are usually similar.

It is the man, the woman, and the child.

In the egyptian mythology it is Osiris, Isis, and Horus. They are very prominent within the structure of their society and also other ancient societies.

This next part is probably pretty controversial because I am calling some people out because I am going to bring it up to date. Satan is in control of this world at this time according to most biblical scholars that have looked over Revelation. His system could not have changed all that much. As a matter of fact it is world wide and we are at the very beginnings of its world wide influence.

The reason why this mouse trap is so effective is because it encompasses all of the humans activity on the earth. The only way you can break free from it is if you tap into your spiritual relationship with God and attempt to live by those standards against all that your flesh tells you because the whole "material" world has been compromised.

OK here are the big three.

The first one is the system of Catholocism and its liberal counterpart protestantism. This is the religious branch of Satan's government. It seems the closer we get to God the further away He seems. Most religions run in circles to maintain itself versus the members in them.

The second one is the system of occult fraternities. This is the secretive part of society. The part no one talks about. Also this is the secular branch of Satan's government. They do the dirty work of running governments, educating, changing laws, drugs, porn, energy crisis, etc, you name it they do it.

The third is Islam. Islam has been cultivated in the heart of the Arab countries and now seems to be rearing its head. It has always been there but now seems to be part of more mainstream discussions. Islam is currently attempting to work on its PR but still maintains one of the most fervent adherents on this planet. This is Satan's prophetic branch of government.

These elements, just like back in the day with Osiris, Isis, and Horus, are all connected at the top but maintain very different existences. Since all of these elements have grown and developed, the tentacles of what we could be caught up in are numerous and dangerous.

As you can see, Satan's mouse trap has control over much of this material world and is getting ready to sqeeze to see how much he can get us to squeal. I for one am dependent on the lovely promises within the bible to save mankind from the horrors. I have no doubt in my Lord to have the power to save.

The bear begins to show itself

How about I just discovered that on the coat of arms for the current Pope in the Vatican contains 3 interesting characters.

A Moore's head. A shell. A bear.

Now Pope Benedict is German of course. On his coat of arms is a bear which is the only animal represented on his shield.

I find this interesting because of where we are at in bible prophecy.

Just to refresh you. We are currently now transitioning from the 1st seal in Revelation to the second seal while simultaneously transitioning from the first beast discussed in Daniel to the second. That second beast is a BEAR. It may be just a coincidence to most folks but I see that as a sign that the transition is close. Keep all eyes on Israel.

The Trinity Lie: Occult Fraternal Brotherhood

The Trinity is clearly not accepted amongst Jehovah's Witnesses. I held the same views along with many other doctrines. After I left I had to make sure of what I believed and why and be able to discuss with freeness why I believe the way I do.

One of these is the Trinity doctrine.

I have to admit, I was confused on my stance but after prayer and diligent research I am confident without any doubt that the trinity doctrine is false and possibly even Satanic.

To keep things very simple I will explain the two points that made it stick in my brain.

The first is the errancy of the scriptures. It has been said that there are certain scriptures that may have been changed to give support to the trinity. With that as a possibility we have to adjust the lens of our understanding to a wider view of the bible. Which brings us from the questionable scriptures telling us Jesus is part of the God-head, to observing the relationship of Jesus and the Jewish sacrifice system.

Jesus died for our sins. Why was this necessary? It was to absolve us of sins. How did this idea come about? God set this up in Israel under the Levitical priesthood so that it would bring forward the idea we need salvation. So since Jesus died, is he "only" the sacrificial lamb or is he something more? He is also our High priest that offers his own blood to God for our sins forever and this continues today. The only way he can do that is if he is in a mediator position. He cannot do this to himself. Jesus can't be God in order for us to be saved. So if there are scriptures that seem to point to Jesus indicating he is God, then a red flag should go up.

The other point is that of Satan's system. The occult fraternal brotherhoods of all kinds such as Freemasons, Illuminati, and the Jesuits have pagan backgrounds. The pagan religions of the day have many different deities but 3 make there way into the forefront more often than not. They are the triune gods that take the form of a man, woman, and child. Popular names are Horas, Isis, and Osiris. Satan or Lucifer, whichever you like, is often the power behind these individuals and can be any which one is necessary to fulfill the purpose. Satan can change himself into many things to be worshiped, depending on if you want something beautiful or evil.

If the Trinitarian doctrine were given foothold, then it would be like opening the door to the underground cesspool of this occult world to walk in. The ground work would be laid already for Satan to input his own image upon fertile ground.

This is why we must be careful. The trinity doctrine is a mystery for this very reason because it isn't holy it is Satanic.

The Trinity seems like it gives Jesus a higher position because of what he did for mankind but it only removes his purpose as high priest and our redeemer. That is the trickiness of the doctrine.

We don't honor Jesus by praying "to" him, we honor Jesus by how we live our life within his way and tell everyone we know that we have a Savior in heaven that is making our paths straight with God. We must pray through him. We must see him as our Priest and King or Pastor and President depending on what part of the world you are in. We must discover all of the ways that we can become the blessing in the world that we so dearly want for it.

Understand that this is one of many ways that Satan attempts to get between our relationship to God and Jesus. Don't let him!
