Dear Mr. Ashley:
On page 3 of the March/April 2002, Volume 7, Number 2 issue of The Good News, you or someone makes the statement �The Bible: Myth or History?� �Belief in the Bible is declining at an astounding rate. Perhaps that�s not that surprising, considering that plenty of reporters, educators and scientists will tell you that the Bible is mostly myth and that the biblical stories couldn�t have happened the way they were written. But is a different myth being foisted off on us?�
One of the main reasons that this is happening is because they do not understand the Bible, who wrote it, who it is about or anything about it for the most part. Therefore, I submit the following study that I have put together over the years of intensive study of the Scriptures for your review.
���������������������������������� The Bible
It is amazing how many millions of Christians over the centuries have poured over the pages of the Holy Bible without taking note of a fundamental truth: THE BIBLE IS A BOOK WRITTEN BY, FOR, AND ABOUT ISRAELITES, AND NO OTHERS. And by this we do not mean the Jews for they are no part of Israel. While it is possible that this truth may not send spiritual shock waves through any given congregation, or even any individual, but it should.
How people could read the best selling book of all history and not be more concerned about the subjects of that book remain a mystery.
Seldom does one hear any adverse comment when it is made known that the Koran was written by and for Arabians. It is common knowledge that the Vedas contain the sacred scripture for the Hindu people; yet that book proceeded from their kind and hand is not disputed.
People seem to have no trouble relating the Talmud exclusively to the Jewish synagogue and those who profess Judaism, and as such are called Jews. We have yet to meet a Christian who wanted to claim the Talmud.
The historical archives confirm that almost all people have strong links to a particular religious creed. It should not come as a surprise, then, for the Christian to find that his ties and Biblical roots go back to a people called Israel.
This study is with the purpose that our Christian community learn and absorb this truth. The Bible is inseparably linked to the people who comprise the Anglo‑Saxon, Celtic, Germanic, Scandinavian and kindred family in the earth.
The spiritual eyes of millions of Christians need to be opened wide to the racial origins of the Bible. The Bible shares a genetic continuity in history from Genesis to the Revelation Letter.
���� It is amazing how much there is in the Bible, which is not even known to the most devout Christians. It is concealed from them by the many mistranslations in the commonly used King� James Bible. Because of these mistranslations, many false doctrines have developed among people who faithfully believe what they have read, not knowing that what they read is sometimes incorrect.
One of these errors, which has misled many, is the mistranslation of the Greek word aion, meaning an age, as everlasting, eternal, etc. For example, we see many places where the King James Bible speaks of everlasting life and many others where it speaks of eternal life. Some fine, devout people have worked up elaborate doctrines about the supposed difference between everlasting life and eternal life.
���� Would it shock you to learn that the Bible makes no such
distinction at all? The New Testament is where we find these references. Almost all of our English New Testaments are translated from ancient manuscripts, written in the Greek language. In Greek, aion, commonly called aeon in English, means an age, a period of time of long, but indefinite duration. The Greek word aionios commonly called aeonian, in English means, to the age, to the end of the age.
If you will look it up in a good concordance every reference to everlasting life, you will find that in every case the word translated everlasting, is this Greek word aionios, meaning to the end of the age. Now also look up every reference to eternal life. You will see that in every case but one, this also is the same Greek word aionios. The translators simply got tired of using the same English word and thought it made a better literary style to sometimes use the word everlasting and sometimes the word eternal. Where do you now find the elaborate distinction between the two kinds of life? Surely not in the Bible, only in the mistranslations.
We also know from Scripture that not all the people who sin and disobey Yahweh will be destroyed. For this is recorded in the Book of Revelation: �Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. FOR WITHOUT ARE DOGS, AND SORCERERS, AND WHOREMONGERS, AND MURDERERS, AND IDOLATERS, AND WHOSOEVER LOVETH AND MAKETH A LIE.� (Revelation 22:14-15) (KJV)
The Bible deals with time in terms of aeons, or ages, let's find out more about them. The Bible tells us that the ages had a beginning, for it speaks of times before them. For example Hebrews 1:2 speaks of Yahshua, through whom Yahweh made the ages. Yes, I know that the King James Bible says made the worlds, but in the original Greek it says, made the ages.� 1 Corinthians 2:7 speaks of a secret which Yahweh foreordained before the ages to our glory. 2 Timothy 1:9 speaks of the grace of Yahweh that was given us in Yahshua before the times of the ages.
However long an aeon or age may be, it also has an end. Matthew 24:3 tells of the disciples asking Yahshua, "Tell us, when shall these be; and what is the sign of Thy presence, and of the full end of the age?" In 1 Corinthians 10:11 Paul tells us the scriptures were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come.
The Bible speaks of ages in the plural, so there are several of them. How many? There must be at least six of them, we are living in one. In the past, there must have been two others, for in Colossians 1:26 it speaks of the secret that has been hidden from the ages. There must be at least two more in the future. Ephesians 2:7 tells us that Yahweh has raised us up and seated us together in the heavenly places, "that� He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Yahshua."
Past ages have been ended by terrific cataclysms or other occurrences, which definitely mark the beginning of a new age. Genesis 1:1 tells of the beginning of one age, with the creation of the earth. In the next verse, it tells of the wreckage of it in some catastrophe. No, the King James Bible doesn't tell you
this because it is mistranslated.
In the original Hebrew, Genesis 1:2 says that the earth became chaotic and empty, obviously as a result of some great cataclysm, Jeremiah 4:23‑27 was a vision of this. In these verses Jeremiah said, "I beheld the earth, and lo! It was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and lo! They trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and lo! The fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down in the presence of Yahweh, and by His fierce anger. For thus hath Yahweh said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end."��
In this first age lived the civilizations of which archaeologists now find some trace, many, many thousands of years older than Adam. The second age began with the restoration of order out of this chaos and the repopulation of the earth, from Genesis 1:3 onward. Probably Noah's flood in Genesis chapters 6‑8, marks the end of the second age. The resurrection of Yahshua marks the end of the third age. No greater dividing point can be found in all of history.
We are now living in the fourth age, this will end in the overthrow of the existing satanic world order and the return of Yahshua to rule for the millennium. We say that Ephesians 2:7 spoke of ages still to come. So that proves there are not less than six ages referred to in the Bible.
The Bible also speaks of something longer than just an age. In several places, such as Revelation 1:18, Hebrews 13:21, and 2 Timothy 4:18, it speaks of the ages of the ages, usually translated forever. Even this is not really eternal or endless. Revelation 11:15 says that Yahshua shall reign for aeons of the aeons. Yet 1 Corinthians 15:24‑28 says that there comes a time when Yahshua gives up the kingdom to Yahweh the Father. Hebrews 9:26 speaks of the end of the ages.
Are you beginning to wonder whether your life will finally end at the time when we run out of aeons? Have no fear of that! 1 Corinthians 15:22‑26 tells us that Yahshua will reign until He has conquered all enemies, and that the last enemy to be abolished is death. From that time on, for those who are saved or redeemed by Yahshua, there is no death. It no longer matters whether there may be any reason to mark off a certain period of time as an age.
The life Yahshua then grants to His own will be truly endless. Hebrews 7:16 speaks of an indissoluble, or endless life. 1 Peter 1:4 says that by the resurrection of Yahshua, Yahweh has begotten us into an inheritance incorruptible, never decaying, which does not fade away. Life for the ages carries you up to the point where death is completely abolished and life does become eternal. Remember; don't try to find a distinction between eternal life and everlasting life. They are the same thing, merely being different translations of the very same word, with the very same meaning. Don't think of me as just an old Meany that goes around puncturing your pet doctrines; I'm only trying to bring you truth as accurately as I can get it.
When we do run out of ages, that doesn't mean the end of things, just the beginning of something on a much greater scale. We shall be living in that great kingdom of Yahweh of which Isaiah 9:7 says, "Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end." Something, which never comes to an end, is truly eternal. Notice this, it does not say merely that of His government there shall be no end, it says the increase of His government there shall be no end.
There is room for all of your hopes and aspirations in such a plan as that. By the time you have learned one phase of it so well that it is becoming a bit old, there will be new and greater developments open to you. Truly an eternity of ever expanding greatness, it will forever challenge your greatest abilities and spur you on to finer achievements.
For quite a while to come, we will have the ages. Make the most of them, for they are the school, the training period for the true eternity. It is the eventual period without end, when we will be in Yahweh's kingdom, doing His will and finding therein the highest possible happiness.
Indeed the Bible is theBook of the Nation! It contains the nation�s history; it records the story of the origin of the people who comprise the nation, and tells of their organization and training.
It proclaims their establishment as a �kingdom of priests and an holy nation� (Exodus 19:6) the word �holy� being used
with the distict meaning of �setapartness,� to coin a word.
It records the giving of a Divine Constitution and the Code of Laws, consisting of the Commandments, Statutes and Judgments of Yahweh, to be regarded and used as the basis of administration and management of its national affairs.
The Bible tells the story of other nations only insofar as they came in contact with �the nation,� and only so far as their history impinged upon the history of Israel; for Israel was, and is, the nation of which the Bible is the national possession. IT IS NOT A BOOK FOR ALL THE RACES AND PEOPLE ON THE EARTH IT IS FOR THE ISRAEL PEOPLE ONLY! And that does not mean the jews for they are not Israelites, they are Khazars.
The New Testament records the story of the redemption of Israel, and Israel alone. Day by day we proclaim: �Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, Who hath visited and redeemed His people,� (Luke 1:68) and that the Redeemer came to be �A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.� (Luke 2:32)
We read of the eager inquiry of the disciples of the Redeemer, �Lord wilt thou at this time restore againthe kingdom to Israel?� (Acts 1:6), and note that the fact of the restoration was not denied, but only the time period of the ultimate happening withheld.
We note, also, the triumphant declaration of Paul, �God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew� (Romans 11:2) and realize the inner meaning of the further statement:
�If the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?...If the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?� (Romans 11:12, 15)
"And he had in his hand a little book opened" (Revelation 10:2) was the statement of John, who in a vision saw the people of the Book preparing to take its message overseas.
History has since demonstrated the willingness of the White Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and kindred people to endure the hardships of the journeys in order to bring others the blessings of the open Book.
So long as that Book continues to remain open in the hands of Almighty God's people, they are in possession of the perfect guide and chart which will enable them to follow the course of their God-given heritage to a glorious destiny.
Westward, ever westward, has been the course of Empire as the ships of the People of the Book plowed the seas, bringing our forefathers to the Isles from whence they set sail to the uttermost parts of the earth.
In obedience to the prophecy of the Scriptures: "Ephraim (Israel) feedeth on wind, and FOLLOWETH AFTER THE EAST WIND (Always going Westward - ever Westward to the ends of the earth - the West Coast of the United States of America): he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt." (Hosea 12:1)
And wherever they went, the open Book accompanied them on their journeys. As they colonized, they evangelized: proclaiming the truth out of the Book in their hand!
In establishing governments, building cities, organizing communities and administering law, the guiding hand of Almighty God, whose purposes were revealed to them through the open Book, enabled His people to build (Far better than they knew) a type of civilization whose foundation was to rest upon the administration of righteousness.
Familiarity with the open Book and the reason for sailing westward is well illustrated in a statement from the Mayflower Compact of 1620, which began "In the name of God." It proceeded: "Having undertaken for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honour of our King and country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the Northern part of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine our selves together into a civil body politic."
It was the knowledge of the teachings of the open Book and the desire to follow these teachings which brought the Pilgrim fathers to our shores to build anew a civilization in conformity with the requirements of the law as set forth in this national document.
Let us turn back to the time before the Bible, as we know it, was written. In so doing we will discover that the outstanding men of our Race were pressing forward to a God-given destiny and as they lived, and worked, and labored, they wrote into the record of the Book their faith, while in each succeeding generation men of renown carried on the work of faith as the race continued on towards its destiny.
Thus, in an ever-increasing crescendo the Race of the Book moved forward with the open Book of the Race which, when finally completed was taken by this Race to the less fortunate, that they might also freely read and partake of its blessings.
Amounting almost to a paradox is the fact that the open Book from which we are now to receive counsel, instruction, advice and guidance today is largely the history of our race and an account of God's dealing with our forefathers.
But along with the recording of that history the future of the Race was also pre-written and we will do well to follow the Divine instruction!
That Christianity has been the basic historic religion of the Nordic branch of the Caucasian Race for the past two thousand years is something worthy of consideration. Moreover, it should occasion no great surprise to find that the Anglo‑Saxon, Celtic Germanic, Scandinavian, and kindred people of the earth are more closely linked to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel of Bible fame than any other people in history.
RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT THE ISRAELITES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT ARE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE ISRAELITES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; AND TO THE ANGLO-SAXON, GERMANIC, SCANDINAVIAN, CELTIC, NORDIC, SLAVIC AND KINDRED PEOPLE OF THE WORLD THAN TO ANY OTHER RACE OR PEOPLE. FOR THEY ARE, IN FACT, THE DESCENDANTS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK.
"STRICTLY SPEAKING IT IS INCORRECT TO CALL AN ANCIENT ISRAELITE A 'JEW' OR TO CALL A CONTEMPORARY JEW AN ISRAELITE OR A HEBREW." (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3)
Moreover, the same blood that links Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to the twelve Apostles and early Christians also flows in the blood of the modern day Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic and kindred people of the earth. There is a racial connection between the subjects of the Bible and the main followers of Christianity.
There is a racial significance to the major religions of the world, and no amount of historical revision will alter this. The religions of Buddhism, Shintoism, Taoism, and all forms of the transcendental worship are linked to the Far East. Certainly none of these religions rose out of the Caucasian world!
The Moslem faith arose out of the Arabic world. Judaism arose out of the Jewish mind.
"It is highly probable that the bulk of the Jew's ancestors 'never' lived in Palestine 'at all,' WHICH WITNESSES THE POWER OF HISTORICAL ASSERTION OVER FACT." (H. G. Wells, The Outline of History)
Hinduism was not born in the Occidental western Caucasian world. Historically, one major religion has been associated with the Western Caucasian world; Christianity. Just as the Moslem faith has followed the Arabs in their migrations over the earth, Christianity has followed the Caucasians in their wanderings.
Voodooism has always found a home in the hearts of the black race, but never within the Western Christian world. There is a positive chemistry between Christianity and the blood of the Caucasian race. That there might be a link between genetics and faith in Jesus Christ is something that has yet to be fully explored by those who major in religious issues.
JUDEO-CHRISTIAN HERITAGE IS A HOAX: It appears there is no need to belabor the absurdity and fallacy of the "Judeo‑Christian heritage" fiction, which certainly is clear to all honest theologians. That "Judeo‑Christian dialogue" in this context is also absurd was well stated in the author‑initiative religious journal, Judaism, Winter 1966, by Rabbi Eliezar Berkowitz, chairman of the department of Jewish philosophy, at the Hebrew Theological College when he wrote: "As to dialogue in the purely theological sense, nothing could be more fruitless or pointless. Judaism is Judaism BECAUSE IT REJECTS CHRISTIANITY; and Christianity is Christianity BECAUSE IT REJECTS JUDAISM. What is usually referred to as the JEWISH‑CHRISTIAN TRADITIONS EXISTS ONLY IN CHRISTIAN OR SECULARIST FANTASY."
That the Holy Bible has always been the Book for historic Christianity no one would deny. And, what people in history have been responsible for the stewardship, printing, and transmission of the Bible? None other than the Caucasian peoples of the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, and kindred people of the earth!
The Bible has ALWAYS found a home in the heart of the Caucasian race. Its influence upon the other races has been sparse, sporadic, transient, and meager at best, the claims of the Judeo‑Christian evangelists on television and radio notwithstanding. The moral values of the Bible appear to take root ONLY within the minds and hearts of the Caucasian Race.
THE FACT THAT THE ANGLO-SAXONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE CUSTODIANS OF THE BIBLE LINKS THEM INSEPARABLY TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD AND OF SCRIPTURE. LOST ISRAEL HAS BEEN FOUND: WE THE WHITE RACE ARE THEY! THE BIBLE IS AN ISRAELITISH BOOK WRITTEN FOR AND ABOUT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALWAYS FOUND A PLACE FOR IT WITHIN THEIR HOMES, CHURCHES AND PUTLIC LIFE.
It is impossible to give a true record of Anglo-Saxon activities without always taking into consideration the Book (Regardless of what the anti-Christs, humanists, communists and etc., wish you to believe).
Wherever this Race has gone, whether the fact of the presence of the Book is mentioned or not, the writings of this Book and the spirit of its message have always played a most prominent part in all our undertakings.
The importance of the open Book in the hand of the pioneers of our Race is clearly and appropriately depicted in the figurehead of the man on the prow of the sailing ship in whose hand is held the open Book, and who, yet reading, is moving forward as the vessel sails the sea. This figurehead of the earthly Americans sailing to our shores should be a continuous reminder to our generation that this nation was founded upon the Book and God's Laws.
But the Book has not always been opened. Evil forces have sought again and again to close it (the Roman Catholic Church tried to keep it closed for centuries by chaining it to the pulpit and not allowing the common people to read it. Relegating it only to the Priests and other high church officials. They did not then, and do not know, want the common people to know the truth. That is why the people in the nations whose main religion is Catholic are kept in ignorance. For that is the only way the church hierarchy can keep them in control, and keep them in the folds of the church); knowing that, so long as it remains open, the irresistible forward march of a Race destined to conquer evil and establish righteousness and peace cannot be stayed!
In the early Christian century the disciples of our Lord brought the open Book to the Isles and to a people residing in those isles whose forefathers, because of their refusal to keep His laws, had been led captive into Assyria.
From the land of the Assyrians this Race had moved north and west: migrated through southern and central Europe and, after centuries, finally reached the isles north and west of Palestine.
It was to them who Jesus sent His disciples to when He told them to go "to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 15:24) To Israel in the Isles they went, and to them they brought the open Book. Thus, after centuries, the open Book was placed at the disposal of His people. As a result Christianity took root downward and grew upward in the isles of the sea. A few centuries passed during which Christianity flourished in the Isles, then the Book was again closed.
During the period known as the Dark Ages (IT WAS NAMED AND CALLED THAT BY THE JEWS BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE KNEW THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM THAT THEY HAD LITTLE POWER) the light of spirituality was all but extinguished, for there was no open Book to which the people might have access.
The Bible had been written in a language which the common people did not understand and chained to the altar of the Church. This period of darkness ended in a spiritual revolution. Society of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was agitated to its profoundest depths as the Reformation began.
The invention of the printing press had reduced the Bible from the bulky hand-written Book to a little Book and translated into the common language of the masses: placing it in the hands of the people, opened, that all might read its contents. John saw a Mighty One holding that Book open.
MEN NOW HAD ACCESS TO THE BIBLE AND THE RESULT, INSOFAR AS EVIL FORCES WERE CONCERNED, WAS TO AROUSE THEM TO FRENZY, FOR THEY KNEW THAT THE OPEN BOOK SPELLED DISASTER TO ALL THEIR PLANS.
The Spanish Armada was equipped and launched with the avowed purpose of forever closing that Book. But it was to remain open and no physical power on earth could stop the Reformation.
With the opening of the Book there began a period of activity for the Anglo-Saxon-Israel people, first to acquire a knowledge of what was written therein and afterwards to spread that knowledge throughout the world. Such was the task assigned to this people of whom the Lord said through Isaiah the Prophet: "And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth." (Isaiah 49:6)
In fulfillment of that mission the Anglo-Saxon peoples have taken the Bible and translated it into over a thousand different languages and in their missionary activities given it to the nations.
Missionary Societies in Great Britain and in the United States of America have, for over a century, been actively carrying out the mission laid upon His Israel people.
UPON CAREFUL EXAMINATION, THE BIBLE PROVES TO BE THE FAMILY HISTORY OF ONE PEOPLE; THE ISRAEL PEOPLE OF GOD. AND TOUCHES THE OTHER RACES ONLY WHEN THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK, THE ISRAELITES.
The Bible refers to many people and nations, but its primary focus is always Israel. The Bible is the manufacturer's handbook for His people in time and creation. Everything that Israel needs to know for this life is contained within the canon of the Bible, a book that has been Divinely inspired and preserved throughout time.
The Holy Bible is intended to enable the Israelite people to be theocrats (ruled by God) in this earth. Its principles, laws, and precepts govern every area of life. All of man's is couched by God's Word.
There is no escape from the Holy Scriptures, for they follow man and government him in every possible area. Scripture is both infallible and unchangeable because it issues from a sovereign God. The key to a successful and prosperous life is to read meditate, memorize, and apply Scripture to every area of one's life.
The early chapters of Genesis cover the creation of the universe, the vegetable and animal kingdom, and the final work of God's hand in the creation of man. The fall of Adam and the Genesis Flood are all a major focus of the early portion of Genesis. The post flood history of nations, the building of the Tower of Babel, and the multiplication of nations and people are covered in these early chapters. Beginning with Genesis 12, the remainder of the Bible IS FOCUSED ON ABRAHAM AND HIS OFFSPRING.
Abraham became the father of eight sons born to three different women: Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah. Only one of these sons become the focus of the Bible. The birth of Isaac, the seed of promise which God made with Abraham and Sarah, becomes the object of the Bible.
Like a giant laser beam, the Holy Scriptures zero in on the PROMISE SEED OF ABRAHAM. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel become the central focus of the bible from Genesis 12 to the remainder of the Bible. Every mention of other people and nations is always in relationship to Israel, and their interaction with the primary focus of the Bible.
Jacob, son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham, became the father of twelve sons. They are, beginning with the eldest: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
These twelve men became heads of twelve tribes that multiplied into a mighty nation numbering just short of three million people at the time of the exodus from Egypt. In subsequent history, millions of these Israelites populated the earth.
Then after the adoption of Ephraim and Manasseh the two sons of Joseph, the number of the tribes of Israel became thirteen; and most of the Judeo-Christians fail to recognize this very important revelation.
In Genesis 13:16 Abraham is promised that his seed will number as the dust of the earth. Genesis 15:5 records the promise that Abraham's seed would become as populace as the stars of the sky. Genesis 22:17 confirms that the seed of Abraham would become numbered like the sands of the sea shore.
Rebekah was prophesied to be the mother of thousands of millions in Genesis 24:60. God promised Jacob that he would become a nation and A COMPANY OF NATIONS in Genesis 35:11. From Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh would come A MULTITUDE OF NATIONS. (Genesis 48:16, 19)
A number of questions flow out of these Biblical promises made to Abraham and his seed. Where are the thousands of millions who were to spring from Isaac and Rebekah?
What people make up the COMPANY OF NATIONS promised Jacob/Israel? Where is the MULTITUDE OF NATIONS that were to spring from Ephraim and Manasseh? We need to account for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE to fulfill all of the promises and covenants of the Bible!
The people known in modern history as "Jews" have NEVER at any time fulfilled the promises made to Abraham. However, they have been found among the multiplied missions that constitute the Anglo‑ Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, and kindred people of the earth. Lost Israel has been found, and the Bible is the record of these people It is time that their discovery as the subjects of the Bible be known to all who have spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear.
������������������ The Bible is Not A Jewish Book
The statement is commonly made, even by those who should know better, that we Christians owe a debt to the Jews, for we got our Bible and our religion from them. While many people have been deceived into believing this, it is completely false. Part of the mistake comes from the complete confusion in the minds of nearly all people as to just what they mean by Jew.
Are� they referring to people of a certain race, or referring to a people of a certain religion, for the two are not the same. There are in Africa today, some pure blooded Negroes who are Jews by religion and there are in China today, some pure blooded Mongolians who are Jews by religion. Likewise, there are some people today who are racially of the stock we know as Jews, but who have been converted to other religions.
First let's consider the claim we got our Bible and our religion from the Jews, as meaning Jews by religion. It is certain we didn't get the New Testament from them, for it condemns the Jewish religion throughout all the New Testament. But did we get the Old Testament from them? No, for several reasons in the first place, no Jew by religion existed before the return from the Babylonian captivity, shortly after 536 B.C.
Their great historian Josephus writes, "So the Jews prepared the work. Jew is the name they are called by from the day that they came up from Babylon."
The only books of the Old Testament that were written after the return from Babylon are, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (all of them historical, rather than doctrinal) Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.
In none of these do the Jews receive anything but rebuke for their wickedness, for their apostasy from the religion of the Old Testament.
The late Rabbi Stephen F. Wise, formerly the Chief Rabbi of the United States said, "The return from Babylon and the introduction of the Babylonian Talmud mark the end of Hebrewism and the beginning of Judaism."
The learned Rabbi was correct in distinguishing the true religion of the Old Testament as Hebrewism for it was the religion of the real Hebrews, who were not Jews at all. Judaism, the religion of the Jews, is as the learned Rabbi says, based upon the Babylonian Talmud, which contains the supposed oral law.
It was never reduced to writing as part of the Bible. This oral law gradually gained greater force among the Jews than the written law in the Bible, with which it often conflicted in Yahshua's day, the Babylonian Talmud was known as the Tradition of the Elders.
This is why Yahshua told the Jews: "Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Howbeit, in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the Commandments of men. For laying aside the commandments of Yahweh that ye may keep your own tradition...making the word of God of none effect through your tradition which ye have delivered." (Mark 7:6‑13)
"Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of Yahweh." (Matthew 22:29); "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint, anise and cumin and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith" (Matthew 23:23)
This was the religion of the Jews. As the learned Rabbi Stephen F Wise said, Judaism as distinguished from Hebrewism, the real religion of the Old Testament. Certainly Christianity took nothing from any Jewish religion for we have never taken any part of Christianity from the Talmud.
Well then, can it be said we got our Bible or our religion of Christianity from men of the Jewish race? No, it cannot. I haven't the time in the remainder of this lesson to give the Bible evidence in detail.
It can be clearly proven, both out of the historical books of the Bible and out of the only thorough history of the times written bay one living when the facts were still well known.
Josephus' "Antiquities of the Jews," tells that the Jews were a people distinct and separate from Yahweh's people Israel, although living among them. The Jews were the Canaanite people who lived in Palestine, before Israel entered the promised land and who were not driven out. These Canaanite people, and the mixed offspring from intermarriage with the Israelites, were allowed to remain in the land while paying heavy tribute taxes.
The prophets who wrote the books of the Old Testament, were all of pure Israelite stock, from one or another of the 12 tribes of Israel. Moses, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, Haggai anti Zechariah were of the tribe of Levi. Joshua and Samuel were of the tribe of Ephraim. Isaiah, Daniel and Zephaniah were of the house of David, Jonah was of the tribe of Zebulun. Hosea was of the tribe of Issachar.
When the Assyrians conquered and deported the people of the ten northern tribes, the Bible records that the Assyrians brought other people in from the Assyrian empire and settled them in Samaria, in place of the Israelites they had deported. Samaria is only the southern half of the territory occupied by these ten northern tribes.
The northern half was Galilee and this was left vacant. When the kingdom of Judah was later deported to Babylon, for their seventy years captivity, their land was left with very little population.
While they were gone, the Edomites who were descendants of Esau, mixed with Canaanite people, were forced out of their own land by pressure of invading Arab tribes, and moved westward into the vacant lands of Judah, occupying the southern half of the former kingdom of Judah.
Therefore, when a portion of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin returned from the Babylonian captivity, they were too few in numbers to drive out the warlike Edomites and had to try to squeeze into the very little territory they had left.
It was too small for them, so what was left of the tribe of Judah took the little territory remaining around Jerusalem and Benjamin was pushed to the north. They could not move next door into Samaria, as this area was occupied by the people the Assyrians had settled there. Benjamin had to leapfrog over them into the vacant territory of Galilee.
That the apostles and the majority of Christian converts came from the Benjaminites should not surprise us. When the kingdom was split in two upon the death of Solomon, Yahweh said He would leave Benjamin with Judah so that the house of David should have a light before them.
In Yahshua's time the people of Benjamin were still the light bearers. In the New Testament all of the apostles were of the tribe of Benjamin except Judas Escariot, the only Jew among them.
Judas came from the village of Kerioth in southern Judea. Iscariot is a corruption of Ish Kerioth, man of Kerioth. Paul tells us that he (Paul) was of the tribe of Benjamin and at the other apostles except Judas Escargot were from Galilee where the tribe of Benjamin settled after the return from Babylon.
This is confirmed by Yahshua. In Matthew 15:24 He said, "I am not sent but unto the I sheep of the house of Israel,"
In John chapter 10 Yahshua tells the Jews, "I am the good Shepherd and know My sheep and am known of Mine. But ye believe not because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me"
From the Savior's own tips we have the proof that the Jews are not of the tribes of Israel. Note carefully that He does not say that their unbelief keeps them from being of His sheep. He says the exact opposite, that the reason why they do not believe is that they are not of His sheep, the house of Israel.
Christianity and Judaism are completely and irreconcilably inconsistent. Whichever one is right, the other must be wrong for they mutually repudiate each other. A great part of Yahshua's reported words are His denunciation of the Jews for their religion, which He tells them is not that of the Old Testament.
In John 5:46 Yahshua told them, "Had ye believed in Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me."
In Luke 16:31 Yahshua said, "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded through one rose from the dead."
He was right, He did rise from the dead, but to this day they are not persuaded.
It is therefore clear, we did not get either our Bible or our Christian religion, either in whole or in part from those who were Jews, either by religion or by race. We owe them no debt, for they gave us nothing.
THE BIBLE IS INDEED AN ISRAELITISH BOOK. EVERY AUTHOR OF SCRIPTURE DESCENDED FROM ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB/ISRAEL. THE FAMILY HISTORY OF THE ISRAELITE RACE OF PEOPLE IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE PAGES OF THE HOLY BIBLE.
The Bible is the composite history and genealogical record of Israel. The genealogical records of Egypt, Babylon, China, Japan, and the other nations is missing from the Bible BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS NOT THEIR RECORD!
The first five books of the Bible or Law, is said to have been written by Moses, an Israelite. The historical records of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I and II Samuel, I and Ii Kings, I and II Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah focus on the Israelites descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel.
All of the books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon flow from the pen of inspired Israelite writers. Every prophet of Scripture was an Israelite raised up to prophesy to either or both Judah and Israel, the two primary families within Israel.
The New Testament is no exception to all that has previously been confirmed about the Bible. Every writer of the New Testament was an Israelite. All of the Gospels, the Epistles, and the Revelation Letter are inspired and preserved records of the Israelite people. There is no book and no writer of the New Testament who does not have racial roots into the stock of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-Israel.
From the first chapter in Matthew's Gospel to the final restoration of the twelve tribes in a new heaven and new earth in Revelation 21, the New Testament is an Israelitish book.
To make the family history of the Bible include the entire world is to wreck and ruin the entire plan of a supernatural and provident God. Failure to correctly identify Biblical Israel and understand the Bible message has resulted in the Church world seeking to build a program of world evangelism.
THE ATTEMPT OF MODERN JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY TO EVANGELIZE THE WORLD HAS ERASED THE COLOR LINE IN THE CHURCH, GREATLY ACCELERATED INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE (an abomination to Almighty God), AND BROUGHT THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST TO A DAY OF REAL PERIL. UNIVERSALISM IN SALVATION HISTORY IS NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
It is the vain imagination of man running wild before God and in disobedience to His Word. Is it not about time that we were content to leave the non‑Israelites of the world to follow their gods and their religions and rest content in the knowledge that God has ordained the Bible and the salvation history contained therein for His people Israel?
Why do we want to rewrite the Bible in the image of fallen man? Why do we seek to make the Bible something that God did not intend? Let the non‑Israelites of the world follow their gods, build their temples, and read their religious books.
Bring back the Israelite missionaries that are running to the far corners of the earth with a program God did not ordain. Is it not about time that we believed God and Scripture and be content to hear the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 15:14: "...I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL."
AS FOR ISRAEL, LET THEM FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST, BE FAITHFUL TO HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND EVANGELIZE THEIR OWN KIND. WHAT GOD HATH ORDAINED LET NO MAN SEEK TO CHANGE. WHENEVER THE ANGLO-SAXON PEOPLE ALLOW THE BOOK TO BE CLOSED (as it has been in the schools, and is now being done by the government (which is under the control of the Jews who hate Christ and Christians and would destroy them if it were possible), who is murdering its adherents as fast as they can, without alarming the masses), THROUGH NEGLECT OR A REFUSAL TO HEED ITS WARNINGS OR LISTEN TO ITS MESSAGE, THE ENSUING SPIRITUAL DECADENCE BRINGS RETRIBUTION IN SORROW, TROUBLE AND NATIONAL CALAMITIES.
The forces of evil were unable to close the open Book at the time of the Spanish Armada, but now they have succeeded in bringing about the closing of the Book in the evil doctrine of modernism.
THE TEACHINGS OF THIS SUGARCOATED JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ATHEISM HAVE LITERALLY CLOSED THE BOOK TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF MULTITUDES OF OUR PEOPLE.
Our people, today, face a crisis of such magnitude as has never before been experienced by our nation or people. It was/is a day of evil for our land when modernism entered our seminaries and graduated into the pulpits of our churches - and it was brought in through traitors to Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and by their enemies; who falsely claimed to be Christian.
WITH THE ADVENT OF THIS JUDEO-CHRISTIAN MODERNISM THE BOOK BEGAN TO CLOSE AND PEOPLE TURNED AWAY FROM ITS TRUTHS UNTIL TODAY MILLIONS NEVER LOOK INTO ITS PAGES NOR READ ITS MESSAGE.
A state of spiritual decadence is afflicting our land with unbelief, from the men who stand in our pulpits to those who sit in the pews and the multitudes that crowd the streets of our cities. Let us once again open the Book before it is too late, that there may be a revival of interest, bringing such a spiritual awakening that it will enable God to save us.
Let those who are in authority seek for Divine guidance as they pilot the Ship of State through troubled waters. They must yet open the Book and follow the instructions of God contained in this Book of books; there is no other solution for the crisis ahead, nor can we expect victory over our enemies until there is compliance with these requirements.
Of Israel the Lord said: "Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off." (Exodus 23:20-23)
Today that Mighty Angel has "in his hand a little book opened." Let us obey His voice and follow the instruction of the opened Book that our enemies may become God's enemies and our adversaries His adversaries.
If we continue to provoke Him by refusing to believe, to read, to study and to be guided by the instruction of the open Book, there will be no one but ourselves to blame for the troubles and national calamities that will come upon us.
May the figurehead, the man with the open Book, so markedly portraying the reason for America's greatness, be a symbol of a soon awakening throughout our land to the need of opening our Bibles that God's Will may be done and our country and people saved from all their enemies.
The original charters, compacts, contracts, and constitutions, all had their origin in the Bible. All the laws, rules, and regulations concerning civil, religious, and hygiene were taken from the Bible and patterned after the Christian Faith.
All of the Common Law of the United States of America came directly out of the Old Testament books of the Holy Bible, namely, the original source of our Common Law was the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. But your enemies do not wish you to know that, and is even now rewriting the history books to blot out most of our glorious history.
We are quite willing and ready to agree that God does not love us more than any other nation because of any intrinsic merit of our own. We remember with humility the statement of Moses of Israel of old, still applicable to us today: �The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers.� (Deuteronomy 7:7-8)
There is the root of the whole matter. Yahweh made a covenant with our forefathers. That covenant He ratified and confirmed to three generations, and then He ratified it again by an oath, in order (as the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews so clearly stated) �that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation.� (Hebrews 6:18)
Among the many things that belong to our national inheritance, there is nothing of greater importance than this same Abrahamic Covenant, which is the basic charter of our race. Through it we are the inheritors of the promises made by God to the fathers, and by virtue of that heritage we are charged with the responsibility of acting in accordance with the Divine will and purpose. The covenant is unconditional. No conduct of ours can alter its terms. It is irrevocable, because God is the party of the first part, and God does not change. �For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.� (Malachi 3:6)
But to return to the national aspect of the Bible. It is this phase of the Book which, as we have already stated, proclaims the fact of the Israel nation as the servant race; that is, the Israel peoples who, distinct from and not to be confused with the Jewish people (as is so often done), are represented today by the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and kindred peoples of the world who, particularly through the English-speaking section, hold a position in the world today, which is the exact and literal fulfillment of the promises contained in the Abrahamic Covenant, that the descendants of Abraham through Isaac were to become �a nation and a company of nation� (Genesis 35:15) and �a great people.� (1 Kings 3:8)
Leaving the land of their exile, as related by the Prophet Esdras, the House of Israel, by long and arduous journeyings, taking hundreds of years to accomplish, made the great trek from Assyria to the Isles of the West at the uttermost part of the earth. There, over the years, they developed into the empire, which is the modern representative of Daniel�s Fifth and Stone Kingdom.
Because so many earnest students of the Bible have failed to see these things, much harm has been done. The practice of what is misnamed �spiritualizing� the plain matter-of-fact statements of the Bible has resulted in the development of a theory which dishonors God and destroys man�s faith, and thus has produced the �falling away� so prevalent nowadays. Those who are the proponents of this theory state, as has recently been said, �that God found that His original plan would not work; that circumstances had so changed that it never could work; that in consequence He was obliged to break His promise to Abraham, Isaac, Israel and David; and that, having broken those promises, He transferred all the blessings of the Israel covenants, but not the curses, to the Christian Church.�
Such a theory dishonors God. It impugns His truth. It suggests that He breaks His promises, a suggestion which, if it were true, destroys all possibility of faith in Him, for if any promise of God were to be broken, who can say which of them will stand?
If God has broken His oath to Abraham, Isaac and Israel; if He has broken His oath to David; if He has broken any one promise which He ever made, how can we be sure that He will not break His promise again? How can we trust God to keep His promise of everlasting life to those who believe in His Son? Obviously if we admit into our minds any doubt whatsoever as to the poser, or the will, of God to keep His promises, we immediately begin to undermine the very foundations on which the Christian faith is built up...The �spiritual Israel theory� states that it was possible for God to lie and to break both His promises and His oath. True Christians will hesitate to blaspheme God by accusing Him of perjury. They will find that the whole Bible is opposed to this theory; that the New Testament flatly contradicts it, and they will remember that Christ our Lord declared, �The Scripture cannot be broken.�
We have an illustration of the national message of the Bible in relation to Israel in the parable given by Christ, as recorded by Matthew, Mark and Luke. In Luke�s Gospel the story is told as follows: �...A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.� (Luke 19:12-27)
The Nobleman going into a far country was, apparently our Lord Himself, who was about to leave this earth in order to sit down at the right hand of the Majesty on High, there to remain �expecting till His enemies be made His footstool;� (Matthew 5:35; 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:43; Acts 2:35; Hebrews 1:13; 10:13) that is, until the time should come for Him to return as King. The citizens who hated Him were evidently he Jews of His day, whose hatred was so intense that they put Him to death on the stake (and note, these citizens sent a message saying, �We will not have this man to reign over us� (Luke 19:14)).
No pounds, or goods, as Matthew states, were given to the citizens, because it had been said to them: �The kingdom of God shall be taken from you (Jews), and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.� (Matthew 21:43)
But the ten servants representing that �nation� receive the ten pounds of goods, and by the way, these �good� are clearly described by Paul who, writing to the Romans, declares that His kinsmen according to the flesh are Israelites: �To whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever.� (Romans 9:4-5)
When the Nobleman returns He first reckons with the ten servants and then with those who said: �We will not have this man to reign over us.� Thus Israel, the nation, has been entrusted with a tremendous responsibility and a glorious privilege. To her has been commanded the heritage of the Kingdom of God, with the command, �Occupy till I come.� (Luke 19:13) The Throne of the Lord over Israel, the Kingdom of God on earth, the Law of the Lord, the truth of the sacred Scriptures; all these Israel must maintain without loss and with profit until the greatest nobleman of all time returns from the far country to claim His Kingdom, and to establish it with judgment and with justice henceforth even forever.
That is the national message of the Bible. It is not nationalism in the sense in which the term is sometimes used. It is the Good News of the Kingdom of God, and it is the Gospel, which our Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed. True citizenship in the Kingdom (and this is something of which we must never lose sight, and is part of the Gospel of the Kingdom) can only be attained fully by the acceptance of our Lord as Redeemer and Savior. The election of race alone is not sufficient; it must be supplemented and confirmed by the election of grace, for �except a man be born again, he cannot see; he cannot enter, the Kingdom of God.� (John 3:3, 5)
This full Gospel, the Gospel of the Kingdom, the message of the whole Bible, is the only message, which can satisfy the need of man today! The present period is a turning point in history. The days in which we live are momentous. Never before has Christendom faced such a tremendous crisis. There is truly �upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity... men�s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.� (Luke 21:25-26)
We also have the testimony: �For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself.� (Hebrews 6:13)
Among the many things that belong to our national inheritance, there is nothing of greater importance than this same Abrahamic Covenant, which is the basic charter of our race.
Through it we are the inheritors of the promises made by God to the fathers, and by virtue of that heritage we are charged with the responsibility of acting in accordance with the Divine will and purpose. The covenant is unconditional. No conduct of ours can alter its terms. It is irrevocable, because God is the party of the first part, and God does not change.
Thinking people ant to know what lies behind our present state, and what the future holds in store. Well, the Gospel of the Kingdom, when proclaimed in its entirety, provides this information. It is the one message of comfort and of hope which men need. It proclaims the fact that behind the shadows is God, and that His plan and purpose are being worked out among us today. The prophets of old proclaimed that message. Christ our Lord confirmed and ratified �all that the prophets have spoken.� (Luke 24:25) �Let us search diligently to know and discern the meaning of their prophecies, so that we may indeed walk in the light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in our hearts.� (2 Peter 1:19)
God has promised us that if we, collectively, as a people and a nation:
�If my people, 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 Chronicles 7:14)
