Who are the people called Jews today?
What about other Races of the world?
The first few chapters of this web page are intended to serve as a Primer of Christianity. The word "primer" means "book of elementary religious instruction" or "a textbook that gives the first principles of any subject." The word is becoming archaic and seldom used by modern writers.
Each of us desires to better understand our religion of Christianity so that we might feel more closely attuned with our Lord, Jesus, and with our eternal Father. We read the Bible, and we naturally interpret the words according to the cultural context of the world with which we are personally familiar. We hope we are understanding the ancient writers' true intent, but we can't feel very assured of that unless we know about the culture to which he spoke. In Christian publications available today there is very little attention given to the actual cultural values and practices of ancient races. Surely it must be true that we could understand our Christian religion better if we look at what the earliest Christians believed and practiced during the first couple centuries after Jesus died. It is also important to understand the Old Testament history which Jesus' disciples knew so well, because that was the foundation upon which He built. If we approach Christianity from that point of view, we will find truths that haven't been known since those earliest centuries. Sadly, the earliest beliefs and practices of the apostles and their friends got changed as church leaders sought to organize the religion into a structure of priests, bishops, rituals, and a universal gospel program for the sake of increasing its political power. In 325 AD all the church leaders met at the town of Nicaea for a great Council, where they defined some doctrines, and made the church a political organization.
At that great gathering of church leaders in 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea, church leaders set up a religion which was politically acceptable. Christianity became the state-approved religion. At that time, church leaders unified as an organization, and worked to define their religion into creeds that would deliberately be UNacceptable to some Christian groups who were resisting their authority. That tactic permitted them to expel certain groups from their organization and then persecute them as heretics.
The Nicene Creed was the first creed adopted, from which the Apostle's Creed later evolved. The so-called Athanasian Creed, named after Bishop Athanasias from Alexandria who attended the Nicaea Council, did not appear for several centuries, being a later creation of the Roman Catholic Church.
A Creed sets forth a statement of basic beliefs, which gives a group its unique identity. The creeds of the early councils were somewhat politically motivated, used to help establish their ecclesiastical power. For all the centuries since that time, those creeds have served as the most basic statements about Christianity, thereby acting as our Christian primers.
But, now the end-times have arrived, and God is revealing truths which have been long hidden. This web-book is but one step in spiritual growth as we make the transition from the reality of material world to the reality of the spiritual Kingdom of God. God has already revealed many exciting truths, but they are slow to be recognized because denominational-sects rest stagnant on the teachings of 16th Century Reformers. Now, God is awakening many who are outside institutional structures to see truths which the church has closely-held in its ignorance.
Much of God's plan is being revealed. We can now diagram and analyze historical events, and we find that none of our path has been accidental; world events have been in accord with the long-term divine plan. The diagram of history becomes a fascinating revelation of the Divine Plan. We can easily see God's dynamic guidance in all events of history, and we can thereby see the manifestation of His Word as He means to express it.
This primer assumes the reader to have only a basic knowledge of the Old Testament Bible history, along with a simple understanding of the New Testament. It will be most helpful if the reader will study this material slowly, referring to the Bible and other study aids. This primer is not comprehensive; it is intended to be a mere introduction to information which is basic and critical to Christianity, yet which has not been taught in traditional sectarian churches. If you are a sectarian Christian, this primer will probably upset you, but if you will consider the issues objectively, you should find great reward.
May the Spirit of God enlighten you with His truth. If you pray for that and trust Him, then you needn't fear information which might challenge some things you've been taught. I say, be skeptical, and check every thing out for yourself.
Before you read any further, take a brief moment to ponder the question: do you know what the New Covenant is? Formulate an answer in your mind.
Every Christian should understand that the New Covenant is the very heart of his relationship to God. Have you ever been told the answer to the above question, by anyone, or have you searched it out for yourself? This is important for you to consider before you read the following presentation. What do you know about Christ's New Covenant? Sum it up in a brief statement, for yourself, before you read further.
The New Covenant is a contract which Jesus secured for the descendants of Israel. This New Covenant is an extremely important act in the relationship between God and His children. It is the very heart of Christianity. Unfortunately, few Christians or preachers could tell you what it is, or where it is found, if you ask them! Try asking your preacher! It is this covenant which makes Christ's work valuable to us, yet it is relatively unknown to most Christians. Before Christ, there had been an Old Covenant but the second party to that contract, namely the House of Israel, breached it by violating it. The books of the Old Testament tell the story of that Old Covenant, which God established at Mount Sinai and to which the Israelites agreed, and subsequently violated. The penalty for breaking that contract was death, so God required the penalty be paid with an unblemished Lamb to be sacrificed as the atonement. Of course, an animal lamb, which served as a SYMBOL in rituals, could not actually satisfy the men's debt; an unblemished Israelite would ultimately be required. Jesus gave His life AS that perfect Lamb, satisfying, completing, and ENDING that old contract which had condemned us for violating God's laws.
The Old Covenant of Exodus 19 and 20 was a contract between God and His family of twelve tribes of Israel, to whom He gave His ten commandments. Those ten laws were part of an agreement to which Israel verbally committed (Exodus 19:8). Those ten commandments apply ONLY to the Israelites. It is a mistake to teach any other ethnic group that God's Law applies to them, or condemns them, or that they need Jesus to redeem them from the penalty of that Law. Other races were NOT party to the contract, therefore cannot be accused of breaking it, and therefore don't need a "repairer of the breach." Evangelists can bless other ethnic groups by teaching them to know the true God and encouraging them to worship Him, so they will have God's blessing of fruitful and happy lives, but evangelists are wrong to accuse them of sinning against a contract which never applied to them, nor can Christ's New Covenant be offered to them. Jesus is the vine of Israelite grapes, no others. Jesus is the head of Israelite body members, no others. The Bible is quite explicit regarding this. Jesus was explicit, saying, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
With the old contract gone, and its death-penalty paid, God then provided a new one which does not require such strict adherence, nor have a terrible penalty. The New Covenant is quite simple. Everyone can understand it, but once you do understand it, your Christian religion will be radically changed from that which the church has taught you! The New Covenant was prophesied by Jeremia in the 31st chapter. Jesus did not personally state the New Covenant, although He implied it strongly in the things he told his followers. It was only after Jesus' death had satisfied the penalty for breaking the old contract, that the new one was announced by the author of the book of Hebrews, in chapter 8, as he quoted the prophet Jeremia. "'Behold the days are coming, 'says the Lord,' that I will effect a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Juda, not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, so I disregarded them, 'the Lord says.
"'So, this is the covenant which I will contract with the House of Israel after those days, 'says the Lord, 'I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be God unto them, and they shall be a people unto me. And by no means may they teach each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying, "Know the Lord:" because all will know me, from the least to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful with their wrongdoings, and their sins I will remember no more.'"
This contract is pretty much one-sided, obligating God to do something for us Israelites, while requiring very little from us in return. Note that only the family of Jacob is a party to this contract. What God promises to do is to put His laws in our minds and hearts; in other words, He gives us an INSTINCT to know Him and His will. What He requires from us is that we do not teach people to know the Lord. God is simply saying something like this, "Teachers and preachers, step aside. These are My children; I'll take over from here and will teach them Myself. So, don't get in between us. And as for their sins, I won't be remembering them anymore."
That's not a difficult contract to understand, and I sure don't need to teach it. If you read it for yourself, God will work an understanding in you. However valid it is that there shall be no teachers, it should nevertheless be most valuable among us Israelite members of Christ to study and think as individuals, and then share our spiritual insights with each other not as teachers but as fellow members of His body seeking further understanding and spiritual reunion with Him..
Just think what a different Christian society we would have if this New Covenant had been known to the church of the past seventeen centuries! Instead of thinking our fellow Israelites have wicked human-natures, we would have known that they have Godly spiritual instincts. It makes a lot of difference how a child is raised, whether the parents and teachers believe he is wicked by nature and must be forcefully trained, or whether they accept him as basically good by nature and permit him to develop as one of God's holy children. The education philosopher/humanist, John Dewey, believed everyone to be wicked by nature, so his humanistic philosophy of education was adopted in America. Maria Montessori practiced a method of education which correctly assumes a child's good nature, and she was spectacularly successful. But her philosophy is rejected by our Government Schools.
Beyond that simple example regarding the treatment of children, society would be radically different if we believed the very best of our fellow Israelites rather than mistrusting them. Of course, this quickly becomes a racial issue, for the good INSTINCT of the New Covenant is given ONLY to the white-race European Israelites, descendants from Jacob, not to any other races. An honest look at the moral/ethics track-records of all races reveals a dramatic difference between the moral conscience of the Israelite ethnic family and other races.
That we Israelites are given this special gift is something that sets us apart from all others racially, and that very idea helps us understand elementary truths of the Bible which the church cannot possibly see until it is willing to be honest about the racial aspect of the Bible and God's protection and guidance of only one specific, favored, racial group.
"Israel" is another name for Jacob, son of Isaac. The Bible uses the name "Israel" or "House of Israel" to refer to all the descendants from Jacob. Jacob lived about 1900 BC. He had twelve sons who fathered the twelve tribes of Israel. The House of Israel is the primary subject of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. The House of Israel is an ethnic family still to this day, being the white European race.
The twelve sons of Israel moved from Palestine to Egypt, following Joseph, where they prospered for 270 years, increasing their numbers greatly. Then, about 1600 BC, the Egyptian government began to subjugate and oppress the Israelites, until Moses led them to freedom about 1450 BC. God then gave them the region of Palestine as their "promised land," with each tribe having its own area, kind of like twelve small states. Each tribe had an emblem which it used on its standards and ensigns. While the Bible commonly refers to twelve tribes, the number became thirteen when Joseph's inheritance was divided between his two sons Ephraim and Manasse. Since Levi, the priesthood tribe, received tithes from all tribes, it did not get an assignment of land of its own. So, there were twelve regions of land. The tribes with their emblems are as follows:
Juda = Lion, Issachar = Laden Ass, & Zabulon = Ship; these three make up the Brigade of Juda, which in the Sinai camped on the East side of the Tabernacle under Brigade emblem of Lion. Ruben = Man, Symeon = Gate, & Gad = Knight; make up the Brigade of Ruben, camping on the South side of the Tabernacle under Brigade emblem of Man. Ephraim = Bull, Benjamin = Wolf, & Manasse = Olive Branch and Arrows; make the Brigade of Ephraim, camping on the West side under the Brigade emblem of Bull. Dan = Eagle, Aser = Goblet, & Naphthali = Hind; make the Brigade of Dan, camping on North side under Brigade emblem of Eagle.
Israel was ruled first by judges, by God's design, and then after the people complained, it was ruled by kings, namely Saul, David, and Solomon until 933 BC when they split into two "houses:" the House of Israel and the House of Juda. They continued in their promised land until the Assyrians conquered them about 700 AD. Many (actually, not all) of the Israelites were evicted from their land, and scattered to distant lands. This is called the "diaspora," which means "dispersion." Many emigrated to the Aegean (Greece) where their Israelite ancestors (from Zara Juda line) had already established the Hellene civilization. Others emigrated to Spain, and some to the British Isles where Br'tus, from the Zara (son of Juda) line, had settled in 1103 BC. Some were pushed up against the Caucasus Mountains by Assyrians, from where they migrated across the mountains into Europe, known as the people who came over the Caucasus: "caucasians." Some Israelites fled to Egypt where they settled a community near Alexandria, where there would continue to be an Israelite presence for future centuries. And some were captured by the Assyrians, who settled them in their region which was north of Babylon and south of the Caucasus mountaints, where some of the Israelites would continue to live for centuries. After Babylon defeated Assyria, it was Babylonians who, by 586BC, captured the three remaining Israelite cities and destroyed the Jerusalem Temple. God's family, Israel, was really dispersed, just as He had warned them. God divorced them and scattered them and said they would forget their origin and Him also, and would worship other gods, which they did. Nevertheless, as they migrated northwesterly into Europe and Britain, they did carry their tribal emblems which continued to identify their true origin, but from which God caused them to drift away. Many centuries later, men would wonder what ever happened to the lost tribes of Israel.
The emblems of the Israel tribes are still prominent in the European countries today. The Lion of Juda represents the Royalty of Scotland and England. Germany is also Juda; the Bull of Ephraim is Britain; the Ship of Zabulon is Holland, Denmark, Netherlands; the Sword of Symeon is used by Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, and Denmark; and so forth. Manasse was the thirteenth tribe and his blessing would have him to become the United States, while his brother, Ephraim was Britain. The United States is signified by Manasse's number 13, with 13 flag stripes, 13 colonies, and 13 arrows & 13 olive branches in the talons of the Eagle (Dan - whose Eagle is also used by Germany). Also, there were some secondary emblems for some of the tribes, along with a few meaningful insignia, such as Northern Ireland's Harp of David and its Hand & Scarlet Cord of Zara Juda.
The migrations of the tribes of Israel into Europe are well-attested by their insignia. Those tribes were never "lost" at all, but are referred to in the Bible as the "lost tribes of Israel" because they were divorced from God and scattered to distant lands, and it was all according to God's divine plan of protecting the racial purity of His children. The Bible is the story of God's guidance of this family of Israel, with many admonitions and punishments regarding their racial purity. The Bible is concerned ONLY with Israel, and with no other people on the planet.
Jesus said, in Matthew 15:24, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the House of Israel." That is a clear statement that should be difficult to misunderstand. Yet, since the evangelistic outreach of the Roman Catholic Church of the Dark-Ages, western Christianity has disregarded Jesus' statement in order to place the whole world under the Old Covenant, thus condemning all other races so that they, too, need Jesus as their Savior. Evangelists make Jesus' redemption available to anyone in the world who will join their church, as though those people needed redemption! Of course, the Old Covenant was clearly a contract with the House of Israel ONLY, so no one else ever needed any redemption from its penalty!
No where in the Bible is there any indication that Jesus changed His mind and came for everybody, That would be nonsense, because no one but Israel needed Him. Just imagine this scene in your mind: Jesus tells his disciples that He came ONLY for the lost sheep of the House of Israel; then the disciples run off in all directions happily shouting that Jesus came for EVERYBODY in the whole world. Of course the disciples didn't do that, but the western church (from Roman Catholicism) is still doing exactly that. The error has been perpetuated because of that genuine compassion for all people that God has put in the hearts of His children. That very compassion is one confirmation that the white-race Europeans are the true tribes of Israel, for no other race has such a natural compassion, generosity, and love for others.
Arguments are sometimes made by Christians that God must have changed His mind, because of Bible passages which seem to promote an all-inclusive evangelism. Most of the passages which do seem to support this idea contain the word "gentile." It is commonly, but erroneously, believed that the word "gentile" means all who are not Jews. But the word does NOT mean that. The Greek word which is translated as "gentile" is εθvoς/ethnos, which means "tribe, clan, family, race, ethnic-group." The disciples used the word to refer to their Israelite family, simply like saying "the tribe." Most uses of this word refer to the Israelite ethnic-group. It has only been in the past couple centuries that the word "gentile" has come to mean the very opposite from what it meant to the Bible writers, and even those translators of the 1611 KJV who used the word "gentile" because it comes from the Latin "gens" which means tribe or clan or race. "Gens" came from the Greek word γέvoς/genos, which means tribe, clan, or race. "Gens," γέvoς/genos, εθvoς/ethnos, and "gentile" all mean the very same thing.
The disciples knew exactly who their "ethnoi" were, and where they were located when Jesus sent them out with the Great Commission of Matthew 28 ("make disciples of all the εθvη/ethne tribes). James begins his letter, "to the twelve tribes in the diaspora." Peter begins his first letter, "to the elect sojourners of the diaspora." The disciples never intended to go to any other people than their own family of Israel!
St. Paul does seem to make some statements distinguishing Jews from Gentiles, but this becomes understandable when we consider Paul's situation. He was very jealous of his House of Juda (southern kingdom), which included his own tribe of Benjamin. He resented being sent to the House of Israel (northern kingdom) whom he called "ethnos" while referring to his own group as "Judeans", commonly translated as "Jews." For Paul, his word "Jew" meant the House of Juda, the true Israelite tribe which settled Judea, as opposed to the northern House of Israel. When one understands Paul's viewpoint, then his usage of the word "ethnos" is consistent with other N.T. writers: he refers to our Israelite ethnic group.
Let's look at some Bible passages which seem to say that the gospel of Jesus is intended for all peoples of the world. One important rule of interpretation is called "analogy of faith," which means that a passage must be interpreted to be consistent with the rest of scripture. If the Bible is inspired by God, then we must assume that God does not contradict Himself, nor does He attempt to confuse us or lie to us. We must assume that scriptures which are written for our human minds will be rational rather than irrational. When we find passages which are in conflict, we must assume that our understanding is faulty rather than suspect that God is inconsistent. When we find passages which are unclear or ambiguous, then we must permit clear passages, which address the same topic, to interpret the unclear ones. And we must recognize that all scripture is not meant for literal interpretation, much is metaphor, analogy, parable, or symbol.
While most of earth's primitive cultures are focused upon the real, upon material, tangible, earthly objects, that has never been true of the Adamic race whose ancient literature reveals a love of metaphor and symbol. We are a people of spiritual minds who think in a way quite different from the earth-minded races, consequently our sacred writings reveal messages in a spiritual manner rather than by emotions or literally. Our ancient prophets thought and spoke through symbols and metaphors. Their spiritual lives revolved around a God whose presence was above the earth's material reality; theirs was a heavenly, (up in the sky) kind of God, with Whom they related by super-natural means. Jesus was a master of parable and allegory and metaphor and symbol, and He admitted that it was never His purpose to speak clearly so all people could understand the sacred mysteries. After all, He came only for His lost sheep, and since metaphor was common to their nature, metaphor was the effective means of reserving spiritual truths for His spiritual people.
So, when we study our sacred writings, we must keep our minds open to the possibility that there is often more value to a passage than a literal interpretation might reveal. It is thus that we might have several levels of truth revealed through some simple homily. The literal incident is real and tangible and provides a vehicle for the message, which can be told and retold easily. Parables are good vehicles for spiritual truths. Then, at a higher level of understanding, the incident serves as a paradigm or model, being a sort of prophecy of a future event consistent with the same model at a larger scale. Then, at a higher level, the incident might serve as a symbol of some facet of God, through which we might come to a more intimate knowledge and relationship with Him Who is behind all-that-is. But, in the end, we must admit that God will not give His children contradictory truths because something cannot be both true and untrue at the same time. The Bible is either inspired and consistent as a whole or it is worthless. If each person can pick and choose whatever serves his own personal agenda, discarding all that disagrees with his unique beliefs, then the Bible is no better than any other piece of literature, any of which might arbitrarily be adopted to serve the same purpose.
But, our Bible IS different from other literature. It IS inspired. And it is of supreme value to us because we believe it DOES reveal God's truths to His children, so that we can, like prodigals, use His instructions to find our path back home to Him, our Father who pleads for our return. It is true that our scriptures have been manipulated a little in order to serve an evil church which created the dark-ages among our people. It is also true that the Protestant Reformation, while making a great leap upward from that dark pit of Papism and Mariolatry, still pauses on that first step which the reformers gave us. Four centuries of theologians have hunkered-down behind cathedral walls, permitting in the light of spirit only as it is filtered through stained-glass windows that were designed by our inspired reformers. Today, it is outside those impregnable cathedral walls that the Spirit of God is stirring the hearts and minds of His children across the land. The light of Spirit has turned from the stained-glass windows of sectarian icons to enlighten free minds and yearning souls with revelations beyond those which the reformers were given. It is time to pick up one foot and take another step toward home, by yielding ourselves to the guidance of God's Spirit as He works within us as individuals. It is time for each person to examine every truth for himself, looking to scripture for what it really says, and take responsibility for himself for whatever he accepts or rejects. No longer can we accept from preachers the weak argument that we must accept by faith that which seems to conflict with scriptures. The Bible is open, and we can approach it with the enthusiasm of a small child as we excitedly search for the treasures hidden within it. God has spread it out before us, and calls us to the venture, and promises to guide us from within ourselves toward those "pearls of great price," for which we will gladly abandon all else.
Some basic, simple questions, will be addressed in the next pages. No Christian should turn away from or reject all the Sunday School teachings he has learned just because they came from an organized institutional religion, but he should question and examine them prayerfully. Much of the reformers work is wonderful and valid and precious truth, so we should rejoice in it as we examine it to prove or confirm it. Before one takes such a radical move as to cast aside the evangelistic efforts of the Church, a Christian should seriously ask some of the following questions.
1:
If Jesus didn't call his disciples to preach the gospel to all the world, what of John 3:16, which reads: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."?One of the rules governing interpretation of scriptures (hermeneutics) is to let ambiguous passages be interpreted by clear passages. The question in John 3:16 regards the word "whoever." Shall we interpret it broadly, as though anyone in the world is eligible, or narrowly, referring to a more limited or select group? If we interpret it broadly, to include anyone in the world, then we have an immediate conflict with the clear statement of Jesus that He "came not except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," and a conflict with the clearly stated covenants (old and new) that were contracts between God and only the house of Israel. If we defer to the clear passages, then we must accept the narrow meaning of "whoever" to be a limited group which is eligible.
It is difficult for us to place ourselves in the culture and language situation of the disciples and Paul at that time in history. Any language is largely idiom in the sense that different groups or regions or families might have slightly different meanings for the same words. We have grown up in a culture that knows the world to be a large sphere with several large continents and some big oceans. We have a different picture in our minds when we hear the word "world" than did people just a few centuries ago. Remember that Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem because "all the world" was to be taxed. Actually, it was just the Roman controlled region that was to be taxed, but that region was the "world" for the people who lived in it. They neither knew nor cared about any world beyond their racial family and its immediate neighbors. The Greek word that they used for their little world area was κόσμoς (cosmos)! Today we understand the cosmos to be the universe. But, cosmos did not even mean universe to the ancient Greeks; the word meant Design/Order; it was God's perfect Design which needed to be saved and restored. This "world" which we know is a corruption of God's Design, which Jesus commands us to hate. The popular song, "This is my Father's world," is definitely not the way Jesus thinks of it. St. Paul says that all nature groans with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God because they will restore this world of Satan to its rightful Creator. This concept of "world" is just a part of the problem in understanding this verse in the context of Jesus' message. We also need to understand that people then were even more racially discriminating than we are today. For Israelites, their own world was Israelite, while their neighbors were foreigners. They did understand that their Israelite world included ancient relatives who dispersed into Greece, Britain, and Europe centuries prior. And when Jesus sent them out to spread the good news, the disciples knew exactly where their diasporan kin lived. They felt this way about their Israelite family because the Old Testament taught them they were a special race, selected by God, and their God cared only for them, while other races looked to different gods. They would never imagine such a radical notion as God coming to save all the world! They would see that as stupid.
The disciples were Galileans, white-race, Israelites. They knew exactly who they were, for lineage was always important to the Israelite family. Their sacred scripture was the collection we call Old Testament. For them, they grew up with the teachings that God loves and protects only the Israelite family. The primary subject of the Old Testament is the Israelite lineage. It is the story of just one line of people. They also knew that they, as the house of Israel, had been under the Old Covenant (contract) which they had broken. The Savior would one day come to settle that breach-of contract. Only the Israelites broke the contract, so ONLY they needed someone to settle that issue. The contract never applied to any other ethnic group in the world, so it would be nonsense to the disciples for God to punish others for breaking a contract they were never party to.
After their Savior had come, the good news was that all Israelites could be saved from the contract penalty by simply believing in Jesus. That contract penalty of death was the thing they were being saved from. They wouldn't dream of applying it to anyone else, so when Jesus told them that everyone who believes in Him can have life during ages to come, they wouldn't think such a radical thought, that He might mean non-Israelites!
Israelites had a very STRONG SENSE OF IDENTITY, knowing who they were, their lineage, their tribe, and their own God. They also lived in a situation where neighboring races hated them. The ruling Edomites persecuted them. All that made their identity even stronger; they saw themselves as unique and separate from their neighbors. If Jesus had told them that He was coming to save all the other peoples of the world, they would have rejected Him as an imposter! No one else needed saving; besides, their Savior comes from their own God and is for their own group. To suggest differently would have been unthinkable. Consequently, New Testament writers did not even think about making this more clear. Today, in our culture of race-mixing and an effort to save the whole world, we have a different picture in our minds than did the Bible writers, so their writings can seem confusing to us. We need to understand where they were coming from in their minds.
At one level of understanding, we can look at John 3:16, and easily accept that God does "so love the world." We know that the entire universe is a creation of our Supreme God, but the truth is that God's grand Design is a contest between good and evil, between polar opposites, between that which should be loved and that which should be hated. It is His perfect Design which we are compelled to love, while we should hate Satan's corruption of it. Regarding other races, while God demands that we avoid mixing with them, there are plenty of passages which command us to treat them fairly and compassionately. They are simply different pots, made by the same Potter, for different purposes, and not to be despised. Nor are we to yield to them or take them into our families. The Bible tells us clearly that God's race of Israel has a special purpose which God jealously protects. Can we really believe that it is Godly modesty for us to deny that we have a special purpose, different from all others? Ultimately, we must admit that we are "a holy race, a royal priesthood," and that our function will be like that of the Levites whose special treasure was their function rather than land ownership. Shall a priest deny his calling in order to be like everyone else? We should start looking at this issue objectively; perhaps then we will not have such difficulty understanding passages like John 3:16.
2:
Doesn't Peter's dream about the creatures in the blanket, in Acts 10, teach that all foreign races are henceforth acceptable and that missionaries should reach out to them all?At first glance, this passage seems to support evangelists who wish to make Jesus a Savior to the whole world. The English translation certainly seems to include all people. Is Peter actually contradicting the clear words of Jesus? Are other races also eligible for salvation? Let's look at the Greek.
Acts 10:22 says that Cornelius, to whom Peter is being sent, is a Roman Centurion, which means he is a diasporan Israelite, actually of Greek race. He is "well spoken of by all the nation (εθvoυς/ethnous) of the Jews (Judeans)." This passage is not speaking of the region of Judea, or of Jews because there was no such thing as a Jew, but is speaking of the ETHNIC JUDEANS, who were true southern-kingdom Israelites. Edom governed Judea; even Herod was Edomite, but Edomites were certainly not ethnic Judeans!
It is helpful to know the mindset of the people there. The animosities between the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel go way back, nearly a thousand years, to the time when the two kingdoms split apart, after King Solomon. From that time, the Judeans (tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi) would often pejoratively refer to Israel (the northern kingdom tribes) as "Samaritans," or "Greeks." It was at Samaria that Israel had set up a golden calf idol, and the Greeks were known idol worshipers! It wasn't easy for ethnic Judeans to forgive the northern tribes (diasporan Israelites) because they had felt animosity toward them for many centuries. Judean Israelites were not supposed to associate with those apostate northern tribes in Greece, Asia Minor, Spain, and Italy. Nevertheless, it was to the those northern tribes of the diaspora that Jesus sent his disciples. St. Paul had real difficulty with this problem, and would refer to those northern tribes as "Greeks" while his own people were "Judeans." So, in Paul's writings, we sometimes have him referring to "Judeans and Greeks," for which translators write "Jews and Gentiles." That mistranslation can only be deliberate, for which there is no possible excuse. If translators were objective rather than biased in favor of Edomite "Jews," we wouldn't have such confusion about this!
Anyway, here we have the Centurion being well-spoken of by "ethnic Judeans," meaning true Israelites of the southern kingdom of Judah. Peter goes to Cornelius and speaks with the group, beginning his talk by addressing the issue of their traditional estrangement. Peter says in verse 28, "You know that it is unlawful for a Judean man to associate with or to approach a foreigner (αλλoφύλω /allophylo 'other tribe'), and to me God showed to call no man unclean or common." How did Peter really see this in his mind? Could Peter have been implying that these men were of another race? No, for he knew them to be diasporan Israelites! In I Peter 1:1, he says "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to the elect sojourners of the diaspora of Pontus, Galatia, etc." So, he clearly knew exactly who they were.
Peter uses the Greek word αλλoφύλω /allophylo, for which the primary definition, in the BAGD Lexicon, p.869, is "tribe, of the 12 tribes of Israel." "phylo" is root for our taxonomy classification of "phylum." If Peter had seen this as an issue about other races of the world, he would have used the Greek word αλλoγεvω /allogeno which means "other race." "geno" is root for our taxonomy classification of "genus."
It is only when we understand the division of the two O.T. kingdoms, and the powerful estrangement between them, that we can interpret the New Testament. The commission of Jesus was to carry the "good news" of His work (settling the Old Covenant breach-of-contract & securing a New Covenant) to His "lost sheep of the house of Israel," who were the exclusive parties to both contracts with God. Since no other race was party to either contract, it would be nonsense to go to them. The apostles understood this clearly enough that there was no question in their minds. Most modern Christians see themselves as New Testament Christians, gladly leaving the Old Testament unread and unstudied. But, we cannot understand Jesus or N.T. scriptures unless we know the O.T. history which led up to it!

What about Jesus' visit to the Samaritan woman at the well? Was she Edomite? (John 4:5-15)The Edomites were probably not much in Samaria; they had settled in Judea where they were "goin' for the gold" with the Herods. Edomite "Jews" despised the people of Samaria and Galilee to the north. Many true Israelites lived up there. There were also some non-Israelite races living in Samaria and Galilee, and we might wonder if the word "Samaritan" refers to them. Possibly, but for Judeans, the word "Samaritan" had become a pejorative term by which they sometimes referred to the northern kingdom of Israel. It appears that even Galilean Israelites looked down their noses at those living in Samaria. I see Samaria as a symbol of God's children who have been oppressed and subjugated to the lowest levels of society, perhaps homeless, despised, forsaken, and discriminated against.
What about the possibility that the woman was Edomite or some other non-Israelite race? Jesus told her that if she had asked, He would have given her the water of life! Would He do that for some other race, after He had already stated that He "came not except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel"? If so, we would have to accuse Jesus of speaking-with-forked-tongue or of lying to us. Since Jesus made Himself explicitly clear about whom He came for, I think it is most safe for us to assume that the woman was true Israelite, and that He was making a lesson for his Galilean disciples to not despise their fellow Israelites who lived in that most contemptible Samaria. But the question is really answered for us in verse 12, when the woman says "our father, Jacob." She was a descendant of Israel, and she knew it! This incident is even more valuable for us because it gives us a better indication of the racial consciousness which prevailed in the region. The Israelites who lived in the Galilee and Samaria regions, even though they were of the northern kingdom tribes who were scattered 700 years prior, still maintained their racial identities and knew their origins and the history of their ancestors. The word "Samaritan" might have been a pejorative term when used by Judean Israelites, but these northern Israelites were no less genuine in their yearning for the God whom their ancestors had slighted, causing them to be lost from His care for centuries.

Doesn't the Great Commission of Matthew 28 teach that we should go forth making disciples of all nations, baptizing them, and teaching them everything that Jesus commanded?This passage ceases to be a problem if we look at the Greek. Consider that Jesus had ended His ministry, was crucified, had arisen, and this is the very last visit with His disciples. During His years with His disciples, He stated clearly that He came ONLY for the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." Can we really look at this last message from Him as one which cancels out that which He had already made clear to them, and that Jesus leaves them with a puzzling brand new concept and a mission to go to all the world? Or, should we look at this passage in light of the whole?
The Greek says, "Therefore, having gone, make disciples of all the εθvη/ethne (tribes). . ." There is that word again which means ethnic group, race, or tribes. If English translators permitted the Greek word εθvη/ethne to have the same meaning that it had for the Biblical speakers and writers, then the western church would not have gone off so tragically with the wrong message, sacrificing lives of missionaries for an error. Yet, I would suggest that God has permitted this error because it serves several good purposes. (1) Missionaries do proclaim the true God to the world, and any people are happier if they acknowledge the true God and Creator. (2) If they do according to God's will, then their lives will be blessed for it. If they do wickedness against each other, their lives will suffer. The Old Testament prophets said that Israel would be a blessing to the whole world, and this is partly fulfilled through our missionaries, even though they do teach some error. (3) Evangelistic zeal provides an outlet and exercise for the goodness, compassion, and love which we feel toward all creatures, full cups of Godly love and running over. It is a blessing to the world that we have so wonderfully and lovingly pointed all peoples toward the true God.

Another passage which is often used by evangelists as a commission is in the disputed text of Mark 16:9-20. The fact is that the ancient Greek manuscripts all end with verse 8. It was centuries later that someone added these verses in order to finish the book of Mark, which was obviously unfinished at verse 8. Scholars can only speculate that Mark might have finished the book and the last page got lost, or that he was interrupted at that point, perhaps for his death. At any rate, none of the credible ancient witness manuscripts, neither the Vaticanus nor Sinaiticus, contain anything past the eighth verse. Actually, in later centuries, two different endings were compiled by unknown persons, called the "short ending" and the "long ending." The "long ending" is the one we find in our English Bibles which are based on the Textus Receptus manuscripts that were used for the Geneva Bible of 1599 and the KJV of 1611. The "short ending" of Mark is included in the New Revised Standard Version, if you are interested.6:
Regarding the incident in Acts 8:27-39, it is easy to refute any argument that the Ethiopian eunuch was a black man. The man with whom Philip conversed was the treasurer of the royal court of Candace, Queen of the country; he was educated, could read, and had come to Jerusalem to worship (something blacks did not do). Ethiopian blacks had been ruled since very ancient times by other cultivated races, whom scholars agree were Semitic. The word "Ethiopia" refers to a general and vast territory south of Egypt which includes other such countries as Nubia, Sudan, Abyssinia, etc. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia says the region "was largely controlled, from the earliest known date, by a Caucasian people who had crossed the Red Sea from Arabia." The Anchor Bible Dictionary argues that the Ethiopian highlands people have preserved concepts and practices evocative of the ancient Hebrew culture; also that "The rulers of E. were generally of foreign blood." It appears that ancient Hebrews were present in Ethiopia since pre-Moses times. Josephus tells about Moses, warring against Ethiopia as a General for Egypt; the conflict was settled when Moses agreed to breed with the Caucasian Princess of Ethiopia. Obviously, the man with Philip was not one of the black race Ethiopians, described in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia as "black race, thick lips and woolly hair . . .though brave and frugal, were slow in thought."Considering that the disciples knew very well their Israelite identity and for whom Jesus came, it would be radically aberrant for Philip to instruct and to baptize this man if he were not one of the Israel family. Had such an exception been made, that would certainly have been noted by the author of Acts!
WHO ARE THE PEOPLE CALLED "JEWS" TODAY?
Today's Jews are descendants from Esau, brother and enemy of Jacob. Esau's name was changed to Edom, so today's Jews are Edomites. It happened like this. About 1936 BC, Jacob and Esau were twins born to Isaac, son of Abraam. Esau was firstborn, so according to the custom of primogeniture, the birthright belonged to him. Esau sold it to Jacob in exchange for a meal. He later regretted his act, and tried to kill Jacob in order to get the blessing back for himself. Then, going off to marry women of neighboring Cain races, Esau really saddened his parents. His name was changed to Edom (Red), and his descendants settled the land south of the Dead Sea which came to be called Edom. About 312 BC the Edomites were chased off by Nabateans, so they moved up into the land of Judea which belonged to the tribe of Juda. By 132 BC they were causing so many problems for Judea, Jerusalem, and the Temple that John Hyrcanus ordered them all to be circumcised and convert to the Temple religion of Jerusalem (Judaism), officially known as Babylonian Talmudic Phariseeism, as it still is today. (The word "Judaism" is just used for the public). It was a corrupt religion brought back to Jerusalem by returnees from the Babylonian captivity, practicing Chaldean magics and the occult Kabbalism, whose scripture is the Talmud, not the Old Testament. Anyway, the Edomites converted enthusiastically to the Jerusalem religion. Within a century the Edomites controlled Jerusalem and the Temple, pushing Israelites to the outskirts of the city and into outlying towns. In 47 BC an Edomite, Herod Antipater, was appointed Administrator of Judea by Caesar. Edomites then controlled all Judea, being also called "Judeans," for whom English translators write "Jews." Jesus went boldly to the temple in Jerusalem and accused those so-called "Jews" to their faces of being frauds and liars, telling them God was not their father, but their father was the devil. See John 8:44 and Matthew 23. Then Jesus came and called His true sheep from out of that region, whereupon they became known as Christians; about 66 AD Jerusalem's Christians fled the city to a town named "Pella." The Edomites continued to be called "Jews" to this day. They have no lineage from Israel. In Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, Jesus speaks of them, saying He knows those who claim to be Jews but are not. Jesus says they are the synagogue (assembly, body) of Satan.
Christians are the body of Christ. Edomite Jews are the body of Satan. The eternal contest is between these two groups. The same hatred which Esau felt toward Jacob is still felt by Jews toward the white-race today, and that contest has defined the course of Israelite history for nearly 4,000 years.
The difference between the Israelites and Edomites is a matter of instinct. The battle between good and evil is between two opposing instincts. Israelites have natural instincts of honesty, compassion, selflessness, integrity, justice, mercy, and the Golden Rule. Edomites have natural instincts of lying, mercilessness, selfishness, betrayal, defrauding, cheating, exploiting, and destruction of the innocent. Jesus defined their nature in John 8, and in Matthew 23. It is worth looking up Jesus' words if you want the real truth! "By their fruits ye shall know them."
Today the Jews, being about three percent of our nation, control ALL major media and publishing, ALL major industries, ALL banking, ALL politics, and the world-economy. For 150 years, the American people have been taught only what the Jews want taught; our entertainment is Jewish sexual humor, and we have lost our European Israelite cultural values. We no longer know who we are, or where we came from. While Jews admit these facts in writings by their own scholars, they perpetrate the fraud among Christians that Jews are true Israelites, even naming their new country "Israel." Their ancestral migrations as Khazars and Sephardim are well documented, and while admitting it in their scholarly works, they deny it publicly. Since western Christianity refuses to challenge their lies (unlike Jesus), their fraud is successful, as Esau hopes yet to destroy Jacob. President Clinton stated publicly that he worked toward the goal when America would no longer be a white-race European culture. Clinton had a Cabinet of about 61 members, 44 which were Jews, the rest being blacks and other minorities. There was not a single white-race European on the Cabinet, although we are the majority people of this nation! What do you think of the implications here?
What we Israelite Christians need to understand regarding the Jews is that God has given them dominion over His children for this present time. We cannot defeat Satan's children by challenging their lordship over this world, nor did Jesus suggest we war against them. This is the time of their power, as designed by God. This time of Jewish exploitation serves God's purpose, as we are tested and tried and even murdered innocently. This is a time of strengthening for God's children, and should also be a time of wising-up. We should become "as wise as serpents and innocent as doves." That is Jesus' advice! The serpent represents Satan and his race; we should become aware of their diabolical cleverness so we can avoid being attracted to the lures which draw us into their clutches. This world of physical material reality, with its technological wonders and modern conveniences, is the achievement of the Beast of Revelation: Satan. As we are attracted to all the worldly delights of Satan's inventions, our lives become nothing more than working careers, living to make payments for land, houses, cars, toys, and sensual delights. We, thereby, become goyim/cattle which the Jews farm and milk as they wish. We have wandered away from our Godly values and have become prodigal again. The Jews, who exploit us and cheat us and enslave us are performing their proper functions, and we can blame no one but ourselves for chasing after their lures. What's more, this design of God serves His purpose, whereby the genetic strain of His Israelite race is strengthened, culling out the weak, preparing us for the great responsibility of governing the Kingdom of God during the ages to come.
If we really understand the purpose for the play on this stage of world, in which we perform our lives, then we must come to realize that our half-brother enemy race of Edom serves us in a very important way. The race of Cain/Edom is much larger than just the so-called Jews. They are mixed into our people so we can no longer easily identify them (tares in the wheat). Many are blond and even have blue eyes, a result of breeding with Israel, against which our God has strongly warned us. This makes the contest ever more important; we cannot avoid them by recognizing them with black curly hair, big noses, and dark complexions, but we must learn to avoid them by recognizing their actions and by restraining our own desires for the delights which they offer. To learn to live by principles is spiritual progress for our spunky, free-willed, dynamic race of Adam. Without the Jews in our lives, exploiting us, limiting our material wealth, and restraining our efforts, we would have many towers of Babel, and all be wealthy as Midas, and be decadent and profligate, all with no consequences to jerk us back. We would never feel drawn toward God as someone whom we need to Father us and protect us and save us. We are born from above, in His image, with a divine potential that exceeds our present imaginations, and we would have used our divine creative gifts to make this material world of Satan into our heavenly kingdom.
Fortunately, the Cain/Edom/Jew race was there to hold us in check, and to separate from us those who were weak in principle and spiritual values. Just as a farmer culls out the weak members of his stock, God uses the Jews to cull out the weak Israelites, thus strengthening our genetic strain. We consider the farmer prudent as he engineers a strong and healthy herd, and we forgive his acts of culling out the weak. So, also, we should understand why God has used the Jews as His important tools to cull the weak from our ethnic group. Those being culled certainly must view the one who destroys them as their enemy. But those who are selected as prime stock for the farmer's future program can be thankful that the weak ones will no longer be passing on weaknesses to future generations. The genetic strain improves, and the world becomes a better place. The Jews provide a valuable service for God. They are mighty in their acts and amazingly successful in deceiving us. Most scientific breakthroughs have been led by Jews; they are the masters of EARTH studies because this is their world. They are geniuses regarding World, while we are as innocent as ignorant sheep, being fleeced willingly by people who claim they are God's chosen ones. They are not entirely wrong; they are the lords of this world, and that by God's design, while we are specially chosen to inherit the next world, the kingdom of God.
Jesus said we should love our enemies. The Edomite Jews are our enemies, as they taunt us with their pornographic entertainment, and violence, and diabolic horrors, as they analyze us with their Freudian sex-based psychology, as they exploit us economically and politically, and as their judges imprison our innocent ones while catering to the violence of other races against us. They are born with a powerful instinct to destroy Israel, without mercy. They do their work effectively as they promote racial-equality and race-mixing, along with the emotional sentiment that we should go to any extreme to keep genetically defective babies alive, nurturing them and sacrificing our lives for their sake. Instead of letting nature claim those who are too weak to survive and become self-sufficient, we intervene and exalt them, sacrificing the strong for their sake. Schools of science teach our children that any idea of God is foolishness, while dumbing-down the bright Israelite minds to the level of earth's primitive races. Bureaucrats pass ever more laws which limit our enterprises and tax our incomes and take our land and restrict our efforts. We get angry as our farmers lose their farms to clever Jew financiers, and as small businesses are destroyed deliberately by government tyrants. Judges, even on the Supreme Court, make rulings against our Christian cultural values and traditions. But, most of us do little more than get angry! Some rare few turn to God, acknowledging values that are far more important than worldly wealth. Those few might never have turned to God if they had been successful and attained great wealth. That they turn to God, forgiving their enemies, and look to Christ, their Head, is a great act. They are the spiritually strong ones, who will inherit the kingdom prepared for them. They are God's Elect, and even though they lose their lives unjustly in this world, they can rejoice as martyrs who will gain the great prize. If the Jews had not been so merciless, those Elect ones would never become strong enough to perform the destiny God has in store for them.
Finally, we should not hate the Jews who try to destroy us, though we should hate evil, oppose it, and avoid it. We should understand the Jews' important role in God's pageant. They are acting according to their natural instincts; they are being true to their evil natures, just as we should be true to our Godly natures. If we reign in our lusts and desires for earthly treasures and sensual delights, as Jesus suggested, then we will not be attracted to those enticements which the Jews offer. Then we won't be attracted to their loan-shark schemes which result in loss of the farm. We won't be borrowing to buy that new car that makes us deeply indebted to them, requiring us to run a little faster on the treadmill to produce for them. Jews call the white-race goyim which means "cattle," which they farm and milk. We need to understand that they can only milk the ones who come hungering into their pens where they will be trapped. It is not the fault of Jews that we suffer consequences of our own greeds! When we stop blaming them, then we can stand up and take responsibility for our own lives, turn to God, and prepare to inherit the kingdom of Heaven.
For the prosperity-cult Christians who think God wants His children to have all the modern wonders and marvels of inventions and wealth and the good-life, let me say that all those things are the enticements of the Beast of Revelation by which he lures God's children to be devoted to such worldly pursuits and pleasures and rewards. Christ tells us to reject all the worldly stuff! The camel can't get through the needle's-eye with any baggage, and even then must kneel to do it. Also, remember that the saints beneath God's altar were killed for their faith. No, the good-life is not the path to Heaven; only its opposite will work.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER RACES OF THE WORLD?
Most important is first to know that we Israelites are the race of Christ, while Jews are the race of Satan. The Bible is ONLY about the history of these two divine races who live through the ages to perform the contest of good versus evil. The Bible is not the story of any other race or creatures that belong to this world. We do not belong to this world.
People of other races are like flowers of the field, living but once, having no spiritual memories, afterlife, or God-designed agenda. Just as we Christians love all creatures of nature, so we should love other races as being the highest creatures of this world. They, too, are God's creation, and can beneficially serve God's program. If they worship the true God and obey His Will, their lives can be blessed and fruitful and happy. And like any species, their genetic strains can be improved if we prevent propagation of bad traits. Many of them have wonderful talents and abilities, some of them being physically stronger than whites, and some having voices beautiful beyond comparison, by which they can join us in singing praise to God. God loves them and blesses them wonderfully if they live good lives. But they are not Israelites, nor are they "born from above" (John 3:3), nor can they become so. What God forbids to us Israelites, is breeding with any of them. This is PROHIBITED by God! However, the temptation to mix with other races does serve God's plan by culling from His family those who yield to such lust. Many Israelites have become prodigal, and it is only a few who ever have the strength to leave that "far country" to return to their true family and God.
America, the promised-land of God's children, has failed again to be the treasure which God desired, because we failed to keep our family pure, just like when going into Canaan (Deut. 20). The purity of this Israel family is more important than any other facet of our history. We let France give us a Liberty statue which then made us proud to welcome all the other races of the world into our family! One consequence is that we are now taxed to provide immense prison housing for countless masses of non-Israelites who have instincts and moral natures very different from ours. Those people do not belong in our land, nor should there be any such thing as a prison! Criminal justice was outlined in the O.T. as either restitution or death. Crime was nearly nil because of JUSTICE, something a Jewish legal system will not permit today.
Now, that you have a few basics, let's take a look at the stage, the set, the plot, the production & direction, the choreography, and the players of this grand play of God.
God is the Supreme MIND behind all-that-is, the Producer. This world, which we perceive as something real is nothing more than a figment of God's imagination, like a dream. There is no such thing in the universe as a real particle of matter, or even as time or space. Such energies are of the same essence, but are manipulated differently by the Mind which creates our reality, thus making up the stage for the play. The Producer of these energies is what we call God, recognizing Him as the intelligent designer of Order.
As figment-creatures which God has brought into existence by expression of a thought (the Word), the race of Men from Adam are, for purpose of this dynamic performance, granted a similar creative power, within the dream, to create and operate this world by believing it into being. This kind of belief is what Jesus referred to when He said one could move mountains if he has faith.
The Great Play of God is a mind-game, a contest between good and evil, played by three races of people. The white-race from Adam represents Good; the partially-white-race from Cain (half-brother) represents Evil; the darker earth races are neutral, opportunistic, and useful in many kinds of ways by either of the two contestants. Both the Adamic and Cain races have divine origins, with souls which live again and again, carrying into new lifetimes some benefit from previous experiences. In order to understand this divine play, it is most important to keep conscious of the fact that it is all a mind-game which permits the two contestants to revise most variables by simply convincing a majority of the Christ-race contestants to believe in something new.
The stage for this Great Play is founded by God, by the speaking of a Word, which then becomes a program of continuously changing energy patterns, oscillating between negative and positive energies, cyclically. In other words, the play is a process of spiritual progress for a time, followed by decline, cycling repeatedly from negative to positive to negative, on and on. The function of life is guided by good or bad energies which then influence the course. Thus does God, the MIND, set forth His dream, in which certain players have the freedom and powers to contest against each other by using their minds to create reality by their beliefs.
Cyclic patterns of history can be plotted on a sine-wave curve where one cycle equals one precession-of-equinoxes, a period estimated to be about 25,000 years. One-half the cycle is negative, during which the children of Satan are successful in influencing the body Christ to believe in a lie, namely a material world, thereby creating it; then during the positive half-cycle, the children of God are more successful in achieving a spiritual kingdom. Notice on the sine-wave diagram of twelve Zodiac ages, that we are now ending the half-cycle of negative energy, about to cross the neutral line as we ascend along the spiritual path. The physical kingdom of World under Satan is about to end; then the kingdom of God under Christ begins.
About 5508 BC, during the negative period of history while Satan had most of the power, God introduced a special Adamic family of people into the world, then gave us a set of rules which would direct our future course. He kept our special family free, almost nomadic, disciplining us and guiding us, teaching us His will. Several times He removed us from certain destruction by our enemy race by forcing us to move to a new land. It was in the Pamir Plateau (Garden of Eden, north of Pakistan) that Adam appeared. From there, our ancestors went east to the Tarim Pendi basin of western China where the great Flood occurred, after which we moved westward to the Punjab of northwest India where our Sanskrit language and spiritual beliefs would be retained as the Hindu Vedas and Upanisads. About 3,500 BC we migrated to Mesopotamia, where Cain had already been since 4,500 BC. Our native Sanskrit language evolved into Phoenician, the language of our Patriarchs. Abram (2,000 BC) migrated to the Mediterranean shore (Palestine region) where God promised it to his descendants as their "promised-land." About 1800 BC famine caused the twelve families of Israel to migrate into Egypt where we spent four-hundred years. Moses led us back to our Promised Land about 1400 BC, where we soon abandoned our Theocratic form of government under Judges for one of Kings. It wasn't long before we divided ourselves into two kingdoms: the northern K. of Israel and the southern K. Juda. During that shameful period we turned away from God, so He divorced Himself from us, but not permanently. Our Phoenician language evolved into the Greek language, in which great culture our Adamic people like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, with many others, gave expression to high philosophical insights and glories. It is also Greek in which we have our most ancient Bible text (the Greek Septuagint of 285 BC). Following our divorce, about 745 BC, we were scattered from the Palestine region by the Assyrians and Babylonians, moving to Greece, Europe, and Britain where we again blessed the world by bringing advanced, compassionate civilizations under rule of law rather than by despotic tyrants. Just as God promised, we forgot Him and our history and our unique identity as His special race. We replaced God with such as Thor, Woden, Tewes, and Freja whom we still commemorate in the names of four days of our week. We did, however, maintain our tribal emblems of our flags, which still fly over the northern European nations, identifying whom we really are. During the middle-ages we suffered a thousand years of hell in Europe, under the pogrom of Roman Catholicism, ruled largely by Edomites. Finally, we Israelites migrated to our final promised-land of America, known to Biblical prophets as the future "Israel" and "Jerusalem."
Just a note here regarding languages:
The language we now call "Hebrew" began to develop at the time of Assyrian Captivity, about 745 BC, by combining our native Israelite language of Phoenician with the Aramaic language of our captors. A couple centuries later in Babylon, there was an attempt to translate some of the O.T. into that new mongrel "Hebrew" language by using Phoenician script. It is that Phoenician script which historical revisionists like to call "Paleo-Hebrew," suggesting that it was the original Hebrew script. There is no evidence that there was ever any unique proto-Hebrew script for that newly developed language. The Hebrew square-letter script, known as "Herodian" script, (or Hasmonean) wasn't created until the century prior to Christ. Following that, there was an attempt to translate parts of Deuteronomy and Psalms into the new script by scribes at the Jerusalem Temple, remnants of which have been found in the Qumran caves where they were hidden about 70 AD.
There was no Old Testament in so-called "Hebrew" until Jewish Masoretes spent over three centuries creating one, between the 5th and 9th centuries AD, by translating a Greek revision of Aquila (126 AD) into the Herodian script. The Roman Catholic Church, largely Jewish led, accepted it without question as the original language and text of our Israelite patriarchs. The eastern half of Christendom rejected it, and to this day acclaims the Greek Septuagint of 285 BC as the true, ancient authority. Since the Protestant Reformers never challenged that Jewish fraud of "Hebrew" language, no Protestant theologian has since dared do so. Today, our English Bibles are based on the Jewish Masoretic text of about 1,000 AD (Leningrad Codex), rather than the Greek Septuagint of 285 BC which was the Bible of Jesus. The Messianic passages of the Old Testament are conspicuously stronger and clearer in the Greek Septuagint than in the Masoretic "Hebrew" text which is used for western Christian Bibles!
By the way, the 1808 Charles Thomson English translation of the Septuagint is back in print, and available through Frank Crawford, RR 2 Box 9, New Hebron, MS 39140-9403 for about $50 plus shipping. Charles Thomson was the only Secretary the Continental Congress ever had, serving from 1774-1789. After riding to Monticello to inform Washington of his election victory, Thomson spent the next twenty years translating the Greek Septuagint into English. The only other English translation of the Septuagint is by Sir Lancelot Brenton, 1851, available through CBD at www.Christianbook.com.
Some of the following information has already been introduced, but in this primer it might be helpful to review parts of it in order to get a more comprehensive view. Then we are going to look at the many contracts which God made with His special family from Adam.
On the stage of God's Great Play there are two contestant races, one representing evil who are children of Satan, and the children of God who represent Good. There is also a another larger non-contestant neutral group, comprised of earth-races of dark skin colors, who do not have divine natures, who live one life only without any afterlife. God has designed the program of contest between the two special players, with the earth races as useful to either of the two contestants. We need to always keep in mind that in this Dream of God, He conjures different characters as He wills, just as a potter is free to create whatever kind of pot he wills. The potter is then free to use or dispose of his pots as he wishes, too. So, God's divine plan is not something we can judge, even though it is popular today to believe all creatures (or pots) are equal and designed for similar uses.
The white-race from Adam, through Noe and his son, Sem, then through Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob, make up the race which represents Good, as children of God, being the body of Christ. The Bible is the record of the history of just the white-race descendants from Adam, in their contest with the evil race. But, it is not the story of ALL white race descendants; rather, it was from each generation between Adam to Jacob that God selected only one family or brother out of each generation to perpetuate His Holy family. The other brothers were forgotten by history, while just the selected one carried the lineage.
Refer again to the sine-wave diagram. Take your time with this; study the diagram slowly to get the plan in your mind. At the cusp between each of the ages, God selected one major character with whom He would make a contract regarding the future program. For the age of Gemini (Heavenly Twins), God made a covenant with Adam; for the age of Taurus (Bull), the covenant was with Noe who lived at the beginning of Taurus. At the beginning of the age of Aries (Lamb), God made a covenant with Abraam who instituted a religion focused around the Lamb. For the age of Pisces, a covenant was made with Jesus, who came fishing for the "lost sheep of Israel" members of God's somewhat scattered family.
We are all familiar with the title, "Old Testament." In it we read about the period of history prior to Christ, a period from Moses, 1450 BC, until Christ, during which the Israelites were under the covenant of Law, namely the Ten Commandments. The later contract which Jesus came to secure for the House of Israel is called the "New Covenant," after which is named a collection of writings titled "New Testament." The Bible is the story of these "Covenant People," with whom God had a special relationship. Those contracts (covenants) defined the relationship between God and His select descendants, along with promises and sometimes obligations. Our Supreme Almighty God, is not just the God of our Israelite family, while other ethnic groups have gods of their own! No, our God is the God of ALL-THAT-IS, outside of Whom there is nothing. Our God is the MIND which produces this universe. Our God has made contracts with one specific ethnic family, and with no others on this earth! This one special genetic strain of children are God's select/chosen ones which must be kept pure of race in their generations because they are destined for an eventual special purpose. They are the only people who possess spiritual minds. Their divine natures must not be adulterated.
The covenants between God and His chosen race defined the very nature of His people, along with indicating the course of their path. It is only by understanding these Contracts of God that we can understand the course of world history. So, we will take a brief look at each of these important contracts that outline our own Israelite history. I'm going to simply type them out, without discussing them at length, for this booklet is intended to be a primer, not a lengthy tome. It will be helpful to take a quick look at these contracts, so to get a realization of what it means to be a covenant-people, who live according to contracts which we have with our God.
From the time that God first inaugurated the plan for His children to represent Good in the great contest, He established contractual agreements with them. It is with no other people than the House of Israel that God ever established such contractual obligations, although the covenant with Noe did promise to all flesh on earth that He would not do that kind of flood again. The scriptural texts for the major Covenants are as follows, from the Greek Septuagint:
ADAM'S COVENANT: Genesis 2:16-17 "And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, 'Of every tree which is in the garden for food, you may freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil - of it you shall not eat, but in whatsoever day you eat of it, you shall surely die.'"
NOE'S COVENANT: Genesis 9:1-17 "God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, 'Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it. And the dread and fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your hands. And every reptile which is living shall be to you for food, just as the fields of plants, I have given all things to you. But flesh with blood of life you shall not eat. For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of his brother man. He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man. But, you, increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.'
"8And God spoke to Noe and his sons with him, saying, 'And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, and with every living soul with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark. 11And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth." And the Lord God said to Noe, 'This is the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations. I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth. And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh. And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between every living soul in all flesh which is upon the earth.' And God said to Noe, 'This is the sign of the covenant which I have made between me and all flesh which is upon the earth.'"
ABRAAM'S COVENANT: Genesis 15:5-7 "And he brought him out and said to him, 'Look up now to heaven and count the stars, if you shall be able to number them fully,' and he said, 'Thus shall your seed be." And Abram believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. And he said to him, 'I am God that brought you out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit.'"
ISAAC'S COVENANT: Genesis 26:1-5 "And the Lord appeared to him [Isaac] and said, 'Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land which I shall tell you of. And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father, Abraam. And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.'"
JACOB'S COVENANT: Genesis 28:13-15 "And the Lord stood upon it [the ladder in Jacob's dream], and said, 'I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed. And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the races of the earth be blessed. And behold I am with you to preserve you continually in all the way wherein you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said to you.'"
MOSAIC COVENANT: Exodus 19:3-8 "3And Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called to him out of the mountain, saying, 'These things you shall say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report them to the children of Israel: "You have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself. And now if you will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a people superior above all ethnic groups; for the whole earth is mine. And you shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy race; these words shall you speak to the children of Israel.'"
[then Israel agrees to the contract] "7And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he set before them all these words, which God appointed them. And all the people answered with one accord, and said, "All things that God has spoken, we will do and hearken to:" and Moses reported these words to God." [then in chapter 20 are listed the ten commands to which Israel agreed]
PHINEÈS' COVENANT: Numbers 25:11-13 "And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Phineès, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous against them, so I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. Thus, say to him, 'Behold, I give him a covenant of peace: and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'" [This was a contract for protection of the racial purity of the children of Israel. Phineès killed a fellow Israelite along with his Midianite wife, thereby appeasing God's wrath and ceasing the plague which had taken 24,000. For the full story, read Numbers 25:3-13, and Psalm 106:29-31. God instituted a perpetual priesthood whose very purpose is the protection of white-race purity. Josephus tells the story in great detail in Antiquities Book 4: Chapter 6: Paragraphs 3-13. It's a great story and worth looking up Josephus to read this!]
DAVID'S COVENANT: Psalm 89:3,28,34 "3I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I swore unto David, my servant. I will establish your seed unto the ages, and build up your throne unto generations and generations."
"20I have found David my servant; I have anointed him by my holy mercy. 21For my hand shall support him, and my arm shall strengthen him. 22The enemy shall have no advantage against him; and the son of transgression shall not hurt him again. 23And I will hew down his foes before him, and put to flight those that hate him. 24But my truth and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 25And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 26He shall call upon me saying, 'Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation.' 27 And I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth. 28I will keep my mercy for him unto the ages and my covenant will be belief to him. 29And I will establish his seed (sperma) unto the ages of ages, and his throne as the days of heaven.
"30-37If his children should forsake my law and walk not in my judgments; if they should profane my ordinances, and not keep my commandments, I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges. But my mercy I will not utterly remove from him, nor wrong my truth. Neither will I by any means profane my covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie to David. His seed shall endure unto the ages, and his throne as the sun before me; and as the moon that is established unto the ages, and as the faithful witness in heaven."
CHRIST'S NEW COVENANT Hebrews 8:8-12 "'Behold the days are coming,' says the Lord, 'that I will effect a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Juda, not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, so I disregarded them,' the Lord says.
"'So, this is the covenant which I will contract with the House of Israel after those days,' says the Lord, 'I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be God unto them, and they shall be a people unto me. And they shall not at all teach every one his neighbor, and every one his brother, saying, "Know the Lord:" because all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.'"
Many Christians make the experience of being "born again" a central teaching of their religion. We need to address this subject, because it has greatly influenced our religious beliefs. Neither the Old Testament or New Testament speak of such an experience, nor is it ever suggested that any person can be born again. That erroneous belief is based on a mistranslation of John 3:3 which actually reads: "Jesus said to him, 'Amen, Amen; I say to you, unless someone is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.'"
The Greek word which Jesus used in that sentence (–vωθεv/anothen) is mistranslated into English, in some versions as "born again." But it means "from above." John uses the word three times in this third chapter. In verse 3 most versions translate it as "born again." In verse 7 some versions translate it as "born again." In verse 31 all versions read "from above." The words, "again" and "from above" are two very different concepts and only by deliberate intent would any translator ever write "born again," for a word which so clearly meant "from above." I am going to treat this topic comprehensively because this one little error has become an icon around which many Christians build their religion. Because they do not know the truth about God's program or about Jesus' work, they do not recognize how disastrously this mistranslation has affected their Christian beliefs.
The Greek word –vωθεv/anothen is used thirteen times in the New Testament. Mat. 27:51: "the curtain of the temple was torn from above to below in two and the earth was shaken and the rocks were split." To translate this instance as "again" would be nonsense. Mark 15:38 reads "the curtain of temple was torn in two from above to bottom." Luke says, in 1:3, regarding his research for writing his Gospel, "it seemed good to me, having investigated from the beginning (–vωθεv/anothen "from above" in the sense of from the beginning; an idiomatic use of the word; certainly not meaning "again," for Luke had never done it before) everything carefully, in an orderly way, to write to you, most noble Theophilus." John 3:3 is quoted above. John 3:7 reads: "Do not marvel that I said to you, it is necessary for you to be born from above." This is said in reference to Jn 3:3. In John 3:31 we have "The One coming from above is over all; the one being of the earth is of the earth and speaks of the earth. The One coming from heaven (oÛραvoØ/ouranou 'sky/heaven) is over all." John uses this same word three times in the same chapter; it would be outside the realm of common sense to think that he intended different definitions for a word which he repeats closely together in the same writing. In John 19:11, Jesus answers Pilate with "You do not have authority against me at all except it had been given to you from above;" Just a few verses later, John uses the word again regarding the tunic which Jesus wore to the cross, which the soldiers were about to cast lots for, in 19:23 "now the tunic was seamless, from the top, woven through whole." In Acts 26:4-5, St. Paul is speaking to King Agrippa, explaining that he has been known to the Jews of Jerusalem for a long time. In verse four he uses the word •ρχ/arche to indicate "from the beginning." In the next verse he says, "Previously knowing me from the beginning (–vωθεv), if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the most strict sect of our religion." In Galatians 4:9, St. Paul uses the Greek word πάλιv/palin (again) immediately prior to –vωθεv/anothen in the sense of "again from the very highest." Gal 4:9 reads "But now, having known God, yet rather having been known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and impoverished fundamental principles, to which you again, from your highest, want to serve as slaves? This is a difficult passage, as Paul uses the word –vωθεv/anothen to chastise the people for subverting their high Godly natures to the basic nature of serving this world. Certainly, the word does not mean "again," for he had just used the Greek word πάλιv/palin (again) just prior to it. The book of James, in 1:17, reads "Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." James 3:15 reads "This is not wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic." James 3:17 reads "But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, considerate, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, unhypocritical."
Clearly the meaning of the word –vωθεv/anothen is "from above," not "again." Kittel's Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, provides a study of the word from both secular and Biblical usage, and states in vol. I, p378: "Both in and outside the NT a. an adverb of place "from above. . .." "As regards Jn. 3:3,7 . . . –vωθεv here means "from above."
In John 3:3, Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus. Jesus made the statement about being born "from above," but He wasn't understood correctly. Jesus immediately tried to explain Himself, inasmuch as to say, (my wording here): "I'm not talking about being born again; I'm saying that whoever is born from flesh is earthly and those born from spirit are divine; I'm saying that only those who come from God can return to God, that only those whose source was Spirit can realize God in Spirit." Jesus explained quite clearly what He meant to Nicodemus, but the Christian church has, instead, made a religion out of being born "again," ignoring Jesus' explanation completely. Jesus even explained to Nicodemus, a Jewish Pharisee, that while He was speaking of heavenly things, Nicodemus couldn't even understand earthly things. He was making clear that there was a difference between spiritual-beings and earthly-ones like Nicodemus. Jesus was speaking of two different races of people, one whose nature is Spirit, and one whose nature is earth. And He explains that, because Nicodemus is of earth he cannot understand things of Spirit. Notice that Jesus did not invite Nicodemus to be converted. Jesus was no reformer or crusader who wanted to SAVE all the world; He came for a specific, limited purpose, and He made that explicitly clear. He came to settle the Old Covenant breach and to mediate a New Covenant for the "house of Israel." That's all! Old Testament contracts with God were made with no other people of the world but the "house of Israel." The Israelites were the special strain of a special race which God introduced into the world for a special purpose; they are born FROM ABOVE, having a divine origin, having immortal spirits which never die but live again and again through the ages. That is what it means to be "born from above," that one is part of God's life, that he has a divine spirit. Only such a person, who lives again in future ages, can see the kingdom of God, which is a future age.
Refer to the sine-wave diagram; about 2040 or so, we will transition from kingdom of World into the kingdom of God/Heaven. The earth creatures and dark races, who do not live again, certainly cannot see the kingdom of God; only the special people who will be born again in a new lifetime will see the kingdom of God. Now, in the previous sentence there is a legitimate use for the term "born again," but it means to be born into a new lifetime after this body has been shed. There is no possibility of being born "again" during this lifetime, as though one can decide to be born from a different mother or different source.
The Christian religion promises "eternity" as the ultimate reward, after this life is over. Eternity is generally defined as a timeless-forever in the presence of God. That is the concept which most Christians entertain in their minds, sometimes contemplating what that will be like. It is a beautiful idea, and has provided incentive for many people to be more sincere in their religious practices. Sadly, there is no Biblical support for such an eternity.
Rather, the Greek word which is translated as "eternity" means, not a timeless-forever, but means a specific time "during ages" to come. The word is αÆώv/aion (aeon or eon in English) which means, according to Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon of 1996: "lifetime; age, generation; long space of time; space of time clearly defined and marked out - epoch, age." It was Plato who made a distinction between χρόvoς/chronos and αÆώv/aion, giving αÆώv/aion the meaning of a timeless, ideal eternity in which there are no days or months or years. Plato's pupil, Aristotle, returned to the concept of αÆώv/aion as "relative period of time allotted to each specific thing," according to Kittel's ten volume Theological Dictionary of the New Testament."
The concept of eternity as a timeless-forever has philosophical appeal to us, and we contemplate it without examining it too closely. The truth is that without time there can be no space or form or individuality or anything at all. The space-time continuum is well known to be the very matrix of all-that-is. Without it, there is nothing, and that would certainly prevent any individual from experiencing any happiness or God or life or personal identity or anything else. No, the eternity of the Bible cannot be a timeless-forever. The word αÆώv/aion is used many times in the Bible, but it refers to future ages. Please refer to the sine-wave diagram. The ages to come are the ages of the kingdom of God (Heaven) when we will live again under Christ, our Sovereign Lord.
Sometimes Bible writers used the phrase "ages of the ages." This does mean "everlasting" or "forever," but not with a timeless sense. They were pointing to endless ages to come, within time. An example of this is a few pages above, in David's Covenant, Psalm 89:29, where God promises David that his seed and his throne shall endure for everlasting. It will last and last through eons of time, but will not be a timeless eternity.
During the past 12,000 years it was Satan who had rulership over this kingdom of World. During the next 12,000 years, Christ will rule over His kingdom of Heaven. Of course, this information has not been known before, and theologians were at a loss to explain anything about the future. Except for Plato, ancient writers did not propose such an idea as a timeless-forever, but prophets did often speak of ages to come.
During the Dark-Ages, when the cruel and tyrannical Roman Catholic Church oppressed the white-race Israelites of Europe, people were given little hope for any future. Heaven was a goal, but it merely served as the carrot on a stick which motivated the oppressed people to obey their priests and give money. The two alternatives to heaven were Purgatory, a temporary landing which obligates one's survivors to pay the priests, and Hell which was reserved for spiritual-minded Christians who sought a personal relationship with God directly, bypassing priestly intervention. The church sent many thousands of sincere Christians to their supposed hell by torturing them to death. Some estimates are that the Roman inquisitions killed about fifty million European Christians.
Anyway, the coming ages are the twelve periods of about 2,000 years each, represented by zodiac symbols, which illustrate the entire history of the world. Look at the sine-wave diagram of history as it cycles through the ages, each full cycle being about 25,000 years: one precession of equinoxes. Right now we are concluding the age of the Fish which Jesus inaugurated, and we are crossing the line from negative (evil) energy into the positive energy of God. The positive energy period of the coming ages is where God's children will reach their perfection in the Kingdom of God. During the coming ages, the goats will be chastised/punished by the fact that their wicked natures will be continually frustrated and they will not be able to exploit us at all. The eternity of Heaven is the very real ages to come.
Now, read some of the parables which Jesus tells, about the Kingdom of Heaven, and see if they don't make much more sense. The Kingdom will be on this planet. Eternity doesn't mean a timeless-forever, but means "during ages," which are definite time periods. Heaven isn't some other place, but is merely Matthew's word for "Kingdom of God." The "Kingdom" is on this planet, during the coming ages in which Christ (and we who comprise His body) will reign, while the body of Satan (Cain and Edom) will be chastised and subservient. Mat. 25:31-46, a literal translation from the Greek: "31When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His throne of glory; 32and all the ethnic groups (§θvη/ethnι - ethnic groups, races) will be assembled before Him, and He will separate them from one another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33and will set the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34Then will the king say to the ones on His right, 'Come, blessed ones of my Father, inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35For I hungered and you gave me to eat; I thirsted and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you fellowshipped with me, 36naked and you clothed me; I ailed and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me." 37Then the righteous will answer Him saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and fed you, or thirsting and gave drink? 38and when did we see a stranger and entertain you or naked and clothe you? 39and when did we see you ailing or in prison and came to you?" 40And the king will say to them, 'Amen, I tell you, inasmuch as you did to one of these, the least of my brothers, you did it to me.' 41Then He will say to the ones on the left, 'Go from me, you who have been cursed, into the eternal (αÆώvιov/aionion = during ages) fire which has been prepared for the devil (διαβόλå/diabolo) and his angels (–γγελoις/angelois - messengers). 42For I hungered and you gave me not to eat; I thirsted and you gave me no drink; 43I was a stranger and you did not entertain me, naked and you did not clothe me, ill and in prison and you did not visit me.' 44Then will they answer saying, 'Lord when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison and did not minister to you?' 5Then He will answer them saying, 'Amen, I tell you, inasmuch as you did not to one of the least ones, neither did you to me.' 46And these will go away into eternal (αÆώvιov/aionion = during ages) punishment (κόλασιv/kolasin = chastisement/punishment), but the righteous into eternal (during-ages) life."
This is the story of the race from Adam. Adam was the father of the white race, distinguished by blond hair, blue eyes, and the lightest color skin of any people on earth. The book of Genesis presents the account in allegorical form. The story is quite condensed and was easily memorized by every member of Adam's family. And so it was kept, for several thousand years, just as all records were kept, by what was called "oral tradition," until the dawn of an alphabet and writing permitted the luxury of more base uses of the mind. But, we are already getting ahead of the story.
We begin this story about eighteen thousand years ago. Look at the sine-wave diagram. It is a model of one cycle, which has been repeated many many times. Scientists can verify about 65 complete cycles in their examinations of rock strata. And just like any spoken (or thought) word, each cycle varies from the others slightly, in amplitude and frequency. But the program of each cycle always follows the paradigm (model) which this diagram illustrates. The diagram begins with the birth of Adam, near the nadir (bottom-most point) of the cycle. But we want to begin the story with events long before Adam, about 12,000 years prior, at about 18,000 BC, near the apex (top-most point). We have no written records for those 12,000 years ante-Adam, but we can speculate about them by understanding how a cycle functions. So, look at the right-hand half of this model, from its apex at the beginning of Scorpio, along the descending path to the age of Gemini (nadir), when God again reintroduces Himself into the process by enspiriting His Man, who had lain spiritually dormant since the beginning of Leo. Since God expresses Himself through His Adamic race with spiritual mind, His divine plan regards only this one race. The cycle shows the decline and rise of spirituality. The apex represents the time when Man is in perfect oneness with God, knowing the script of the pageant, and participating as true representatives of Him as the anointed Son, God's Christ. The nadir represents the time when God's Man has lost his spiritual consciousness, and gets himself imprisoned in a material, finite reality that is all the great lie of Satan's deception. The apex represents Truth (Christ) while the nadir represents the lie (Satan). God's grand pageant is about our oscillation between negatives and positives.
About 18,000 years ago, near the beginning of Scorpio, God's children had attained spiritual perfection and realized their Oneness with their Father. They had perfect understanding of their function as they made up the Body of the Christ, God's Offspring. Reality was quite fluid, being relative to whatever they believed it to be, and life was ecstasy. Goodness and all positive values had become so perfected by the time of the apex that the state of bliss was uninterrupted.
But, nothing is ever constant; the Word goes on, ever increasing or decreasing in energy. The apex had been reached, and a new mood was being felt, a strange sensation of longing for a storm to jar the perfection. The very idea of experiencing one's individual identity through one's senses held mysterious appeal (temptation), an ever increasing attraction. What would it be like to flood one's senses with some kind of thrill, perhaps flooding the taste buds so as to confirm a feeling of individual identity. Those immortals might have yearned for the thrill of risking their lives, even confronting the possibility of death, just as they saw among the earth creatures and races. Excitement is felt through the senses, and such excitement is an individual experience. It is through our senses that we confirm our identities as beings singularly separate from all others. Instead of being united with God, One in the Body of Christ, they were tempted to feel separate and alone, free to gratify one's base potential, one's individual desires and gratifications, free to know evil again. The fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was very tempting. At the apex, Man is one with God, sharing the universal consciousness. At the nadir, he is an individual prodigal, far separated from his Father, in a distant country.
At the apex, one particular fruit had not been tasted for several thousand years; it had not even been a temptation during those ages in which we struggled toward spiritual perfection. God's children had been immortal for several thousand years; there cannot, of course, be a continued program of procreation during ages when Men don't die. With no deaths in the family, there can be no births. The Son of God was complete in all its parts, and no children could be added to it. As Jesus told the Jews, "in heaven there is no marriage," so there was no promiscuity either, no sex! [Androgynous man is sexless, quite the opposite from today's wicked perversion, called "homosexuality." So, prior to the fall, God had to divide the feminine nature from Adam, making two counterpart genders] . Near the beginning of Scorpio, the forbidden-fruit was ripening and looking tempting. At that moment, Satan stepped forth onto the stage. Just as Christ came to earth in the person of a man, so also does Christ's counterpart appear as a man at his appropriate moment in the cycle. Satan seduces a female who was simply called γυv¬/gynè, which means wife, for she was the feminine counterpart to the masculine Adam. The two lived and thought as one, in union with God, perfectly good.
Satan convinced "wife" that if she experienced the thrill of her own senses, separate from all others, then she would be like God, an individual in her own right. So, "wife" (her name was Zoe which means Life) violated her union with Adam and with God, to experience herself by having sex with Satan. Delighted, she then went to her husband and tempted him to do the same with her. The "serpent" of the FALL was the devil in the age of SCORPIO (serpent).
The Body of Christ was at that moment violated! A separation of identity had occurred, and procreation became part of the program again. If there will be births, then there must be deaths, lest the planet become overpopulated within a few generations. There was no more Union with God in the Body of Christ. The apex passed and the downward path toward material World began.
When we act against the good of the Body of Christ, against our perfection, against our Union with God, there are bad consequences. God does not curse from anger or whim, but announces the consequences of our own evil actions. God's curses are nothing but statements of that which we have brought upon ourselves through our actions. Following that violation against God by Adam and his wife, God announced the consequences. Satan would be debased, lower than all creatures; he would be the negative force of evil. There would be enmity between Satan's seed (σπέρματός/spermatos = sperm: Gen. 3:16, LXX) and her seed (meaning offspring of her husband). God is saying that there would be two races of descendants, one from Satan to represent evil, that son being Cain; the other race would be from Adam to represent Good. The history of those two races would be a continuous contest, played by two families, a contest of good versus evil.
The consequences of the Fall would, for the woman, be related to her crime, that she would bring forth children painfully, and rather than enjoying equality with her masculine counterpart, she would be ruled by him. For Adam, the consequences would be that he must henceforth produce food to eat, by laboring in ground which is physical matter under the rule of Satan. No more paradisiacal garden! And now that death was part of the plot of the great play, survival would become a desperate chore.
Adam named his wife Ζω¬
/Zoè (= Life: Gen. 3:21, LXX) for she would henceforth propagate worldly, material, physical life, a very different type from that spiritual perfect life which had been violated. The new life would be a bad imitation, a life of physical senses, flesh bodies, earthly lusts and desires, worldly values, animosities, hatreds, battles, and fears of pain and death.Refer to the sine-wave diagram. About the middle of the age of Scorpio, God's perfect children fell from perfection, as they sought a new kind of physical life to replace that perfect one they had known. The kingdom of God was violated by the fall of Adam and Zoe, and began to deteriorate. No longer could His children walk with him in the garden of Paradise, but must suffer the vicissitudes of temporal, physical existence. As spiritual values gave way to material ones over the following centuries, the activity of God's divine spirit gradually decreased within the hearts and minds of Adam's descendants. The children of God were degenerating, being seduced into believing that matter was real. They began to find the sensual pleasures of the earth races exciting, and turned from God toward the creature delights. But they were still living in the kingdom of God (upper/positive half of the cycle) and had far greater wisdom than we do today. They knew what the future held in store for civilization and the course of history. So, they built the great pyramid at Giza to be their prophet for the next generation of the Body of Christ, many thousand years in the future. The pyramid was built during the zodiac age of Libra, about 12,000 to 14,000 BC. Next, in the age of Virgo, we see on the diagram that they approach the neutral line, a time when the strength of the earth's magnetic field reaches zero, being neither positive or negative. It was at the end of Virgo that the Christ ruler of the kingdom of God must relinquish His rulership; He is defeated, and entombed in the sarcophagus in the Great Pyramid, which should properly be called the Temple of Christ. When that pyramid was finally entered in 820 AD by Caliph Al Mamoun of Baghdad, he was terribly disappointed to find only an empty sarcophagus with the stone-cover removed. The New Testament story of Jesus' burial hints at this event, indicating that no stone can hold our King, neither giant pyramid, nor stone guarded by Roman soldiers.
This must seem confusing to you who read this, that I place Adam and Eve way back in time, about 18,000 BC in the previous age of Scorpio, and also place them again in Gemini, at 5508 BC. Well, Adam and Eve/Zoe are symbols of God's special race which fell from perfection 18,000 BC and then degenerated for the ensuing 12,000 years until the energy reached its nadir. Then they were filled once again with the spiritual compulsion to strive upward toward their Father. That long period of decline is not something important to the Old Testament story. It is only important that God renewed His spiritual activity in their hearts and minds, and that they became powerful influences in the course of subsequent history, which is the Old Testament story. Just keep in mind that the Fall was way back when the positive energy was at its apex, and their renewal was when the negative energy was at the nadir of the sine-wave curve.
With the entombment of Christ in the Great Pyramid, the kingdom of God ended and the kingdom of World began. But that was no simple transfer of power; the world was shaken dramatically and nearly destroyed. It was about 10,000 BC that the earth's magnetic field strength had decreased to zero and a reversal of polarities occurred. The north magnetic polarity moved from its position near the true southern axis point, up to its present position west of Ellesmere Island which is just west of Greenland. When the magnetic field reversed itself, this iron core planet reacted like a gyroscope reacts to a gentle nudge; it wobbled for several revolutions, finally restabilizing on a slightly different true axis. Matthew 24 and Rev. 16:17-21 describe this event, as it is due again for us, around 2,000 or so. When the earth wobbles, stars seem to fall. Great earthquakes occur as tectonic plates shift; mountains sink, new mountains arise; volcanic ash fills the sky darkening the sun for a short period; tidal waves of perhaps five miles deep wash away coastlines for hundreds of miles inland; all waters are contaminated with ash, sulfur, and many pollutants, making it undrinkable (as blood). Twelve thousand years ago, the continent of Atlantis sank beneath the Atlantic Ocean. The South Pole relocated to the continent of Antarctica and an ice-age came upon that land which had once been green. An ice-age ended for our North America continent as the Pole moved northward from it.
The kingdom of Satan's world then came into its full power. The spiritual mind was blinded; physical senses ruled our people's lives; violence and hatred and wickedness were rewarded by the lord of the world, while innocence and spiritual values were denigrated and despised. When Christ was entombed, the Head had been cut off from His body (His ¦κκλησία/ecclesia = Church), and the children of God were no longer empowered by God's Spirit. The white-race continued to survive, but had to struggle to do so, and God was no longer working through them. The age of LEO represents mastery of earth, which was the very temptation for which God's children left their heavenly home. It was a mistake that could not be reversed, and they found themselves descending into hell (negative energy half-cycle). All orderliness and civilized values were gone, and people degenerated to live like primitives. Satan achieved his highest goals by convincing God's children to believe-in, and help create, his material kingdom (a delusion) of hell, this world. The age of CANCER was a continued degeneration and decline from perfection, with increasing evil, earth energies, and demonic powers. Isn't it interesting that the word "cancer" today means an out-of-control physical growth which leads to death?
Then, in the age of GEMINI (heavenly twins) at about 5508 BC (Septuagint dating), God re-entered the stage by empowering His Adamic race (His firstborn Son, the body of Christ) with His own Spirit. The twins of Gemini were Cain and Abel, fraternal twin sons of both Satan and Adam, born to begin God's dynamic pageant/battle between good and evil. It is a long contest, and a terribly difficult struggle for God's spiritual Man to ascend toward God again. Our victory is ultimately assured because we, immortal spirits, give our lives again and again, always reappearing to fight another day. Spiritual victory is achieved through terrible struggle, not through peace! Jesus said, "Don't think I came to bring peace; I came to bring a sword." Spiritual victory is a result of experiences that try the soul and strengthen one, not through contentment or enjoyment of the good-life! Our victory would not be possible without the Cain/Edomite/Jew race to provide our lessons and testing. You see, the spiritual mind is that within us which is immortal and one with the Father. It is the spiritual mind that God's Christ represents, and which empowers us members of that divine corpus. Like Jesus said, "flesh is nothing, spirit is everything." (paraphrased) The temptations and desires of the flesh provide us with a battleground. The war is inside oneself as one struggles to defeat the flesh and live in spirit. Death of the physical body is not a loss because flesh is not a value. The only thing important to God is the continuous struggle of the prodigal to return to his true home, his source, his Father. This paragraph may contain the most important words I've ever written.
By the end of Gemini, at the nadir of the cycle, God's Adamic children had already gone astray by breeding with other races of the world. So, God flooded the large basin where His people lived, and started His race over again with a family "perfect in his generations." Noe (Noah) and all the other descendants from Adam were at the time of the flood, living in the Tarim Pendi basin of western China, where they had moved to after being evicted from the Pamir Plateau (just north of Pakistan, considered to be the Garden of Eden). From the Tarim Pendi, Noe's descendants went to the northwest India region of Punjabi with their Sanskrit language and their intensely spiritual insights. It is their memory which comes down to us today in the ancient Hindu Vedas, Upanishads, and Mahabarata. That happened during the still-wicked and emotion-ruled age of TAURUS. What an irony it is that there is probably no higher spiritual expression in recorded history than those ancient Vedic scriptures. We would benefit by looking at what our own Aryan ancestors thought and valued! The bull (calf) of Taurus is one of the four fixed signs of the Zodiac, being one of the four Seraphs/Cherubs, which makes it one of the four living Beings of Revelation, which are the FOUR MINDS behind our existence. All that is the subject of another discourse, but I throw it in here for someone who might be interested. Anyway, the calf of Taurus symbolizes the emotional mind of God's creation. During Taurus, the earth's magnetic field was strong, so life was strong, and emotions were strong.
Then, at the beginning of the age of ARIES (Lamb), our great ancestor Abram was born. He instituted a religion which venerated the Lamb as a symbol for the Lamb of God who would appear at the end that age to be sacrificed as a sin-offering. Moses appeared as a deliverer, as a Christ-type, who brought a revelation of God's Law to His Israelite family, and then led them to a promised-land where God would rule them. But, they again turned their heads toward worldly values, wanting an earthly king. They became divisive, splitting into two kingdoms, and mixing with neighboring Cain-race people, against God's commands.
The rest of this story is adequately presented in previous chapters. It is the story of the white-race who went to settle in Greece, Europe, and Britain. The Throne of David, under the emblem of the Lion of Juda, has never been vacant, just as God promised; it is in Britain to this very day. America is the final promised-land, referred to by the prophets as "Israel" and as "Jerusalem." Actually, it is not physical land that makes Jerusalem; Jerusalem is the Temple of God, which is the very body of Christ. Jerusalem is a city or body of God's children, namely we European Israelites, who founded a Godly nation with a Godly constitution, that has been taken from us by our enemy, Esau, in his effort to reclaim that birthright which he sold for a mess of pottage. For Esau/Edomites/Jews, it is the material and physical world that they value, for they are children of Satan, and the material world is under their rulership. They don't believe in a spiritual afterlife. In their world, physical life is the highest value, and their grief at the death of a loved one is something we spiritual children cannot fathom. Imagine how you would feel if you thought this life was all there is, with no kingdom of heaven in your future.
In this booklet, I have tried to provide an introduction into God's pageant. Certainly it is quite different from anything you learned from your church. That is because theologians and preachers cannot explore new spiritual insights and develop such ideas without jeopardizing their careers. I know that many sincere Christian leaders struggle with such ideas, and with scriptural contradictions and doctrinal conflicts, but must back away from them because the people demand that old-time-religion that was good enough for papa. Every organized religion would call me a heretic for suggesting such things as I write. But, I am free from their ties and don't depend on my income from them. So, I have sought God's help in developing what I call the "Big Picture," God's overall grand plan. I am making it available on this web site, praying that God will lead only certain ones to it, while keeping everyone else from finding or understanding it. An important part of my prayer is that God will protect His children from anything false that I write. I don't charge for my work and I have no vested interest in the harvest from seeds which I scatter. That is all up to God, and to you who reads this.
