#1 FIRST BROADCAST "Anarchy Prediction!" OCTAMAN RADIO

Recorded on Election Day, Tuesday November 8, 2016

FIRST BROADCAST after many years of radio retirement...  

ANARCHY PREDICTION!

In light of current events I felt strong motivation to return to the mic and share what I have long been aware of as a Bible Student, among other things that many world leaders are demon worshipping pedophiles...  

I thought the video was poor quality so I never shared it.  (Also before an injury diagnosis and subsequent KETO diet that helped me shed 60 lbs.]  In light of today's news I cue this up as my #1 broadcast which will grow into an archive, God willing.  I know the result will be my slandering, beheading, ostracizing, boycotting and the like.  As mentioned in the video, it's already happened enough.  Undoubtedly more to follow.

MANNA - MAY 17

They shall put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service-John 16: 2.

The persecutions of today are more refined than in any previous period. The faithful today are not stoned with literal stones or shot with literal arrows or literally beheaded, but it is still true that the wicked shoot out arrows at the righteous, "even bitter words"; and many because of faithfulness are reproved and slandered and cut off from fellowship-"beheaded for the testimony of Jesus." Let all such emulate Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Let their testimonies be given with radiant faces like his. Let their eyes of faith perceive Jesus at the right hand of the Majesty on high as their Advocate and Deliverer. Let their words be with moderation as were Stephen's, and let it be true of them, as written of him, "full of grace and power" and "filled with the Holy Spirit"-Z '97, 57 (R 2108).

All the faithful have incurred the displeasure and consequent disfellowship of the nominal people of God. Misunderstood with respect to their work, teaching, character and hopes by those out of harmony with God's Plan, God's faithful people have been regarded by them as the enemies of God, His Plan and His Church, and consequently the latter have often thought they served God by killing those who really were His children-P '34, 62, 63.

How Romney's Loss Predicted Donald Trump

2012 Election Recap A to Z

Nov. 21, 2012

[Note: Normally I don't write politically.  This was just my post election rant as I was sorry to see Obama stay in office due to my love of America and Israel.  Again I deem it to be prescient and therefore post it with the above video.]

a is for abortion, that every democrat supports, and Obama believes should be implemented upon living infants who survive botched procedures.
b is for bailouts for companies from the government, giving them free ride on the American taxpayers back.
c is for communists who mentored Obama, just look up frank Marshall Davis, his idol.  Millions died under communism.
d is for debt, as the 16 trillion dollar cliff looms larger each day while dems spend us into disaster.
e is for embassies, and the Americans who died because Obama refused to help them while under attack by terrorists on American soil.
f is for failure to pass anything even with control of both houses for two years.
g is for golf, Obama playing the most rounds of any president ever, far more than bush.
h is for hypocrite, saying we need an end to bipartisan bickering and calling for civility, then telling constituents to vote for "revenge".
i is for I, the word used most by the narcissist in chief and Israel, the nation snubbed by Obama in favor of radical Muslim enemies of Israel.
j is for Jeremiah Wright, the radical racist black supremacist pastor who led Obama spiritually for over 20 years
k is for killers led by the Koran visiting the white house, the book that Obama grew up with that says kill all the Jews and Christians, he entertains known terrorists.
l is for lying to the people, such as the lie that Benghazi was a spontaneous protest caused by a video, told for weeks in front of TV audiences and the united nations.
m is for military downsizing and mothballing aircraft carriers and making us vulnerable
n is for news networks entirely run by democrats who run a non-stop pr campaign for Obama while attacking his opponents with lies and obfuscation.
o is for the occupy movement, destructive anarchists embraced by Obama
p is for platform at their convention that rejected God whom the dems denied three times and booed off their stage
q is for queers getting his endorsement to get married.  [Their word, not mine.]
r is for redistribution of wealth, Obama view that those who work hard should give more to those who refuse to work at all.
s is for Solyndra and solar companies that failed, which were subsidized by taxpayers in return for campaign support for Obama.
t is for taxes, the highest increases in the history of the nation.
u is for unemployment and underemployment, with the worst levels since the great depression, far worse than under bush.
v is for violations, violating the constitution, ethics violations, violating the rights of churches not to have to supply birth control and abortion against their faith.
w is for Winston Churchill, the statue of whom was given as a gift to G.W Bush for the brave defense it symbolized, but rudely returned to England by Obama.
x is for x-ray machines at airports and other blatant invasions of privacy increased under Obama, which under bush were howled against.
y is for young people of elementary school age being brainwashed and exploited by Obama for campaign commercials.
z is for zero, which if for what Obama is doing about the jobs and the economy, and how much time there is left before the fall.

So all of the above were things you weren't supposed to talk about because it might offend or alienate certain voters and you had the right strategy for winning - "reach across the aisle", appear moderate, move to the center, don't criticize Obama or his party!  That was the ticket to having the winning ticket.  So you picked a wishy washy moderate with a liberal past in regards to abortion and health care and tamed him into keeping completely quiet on obvious wide openings left by the wildly swinging left.  he held the bat on the biggest fattest slow pitches down the middle, choosing instead to cater to moderates by walking on eggshells.

You righties don't get how the game is played.  All's fair in love and war.  the left will say anything, do anything to smear your character and paint you as a nitwit nightmare, and the truth is the last thing they use.  And you don't understand that lefties are the great unchurched, they have no moral playbook, while righties have the bible that they have to at least somewhat adhere to, meaning they aren't allowed to lie about someone to smear their character.  And so the only weapon you have left is the truth, and it sits there unused!  ignored!  wasted!

Obama voted to have doctors murder living infants if they survived an abortion.  You didn't talk about that when they blasted you for wanting to ban contraceptives.  You didn't even vociferously deny wanting to ban contraception!  You didn't call them crazy liars.  At the debate Obama called Romney a liar to his face.  Romney spent the third debate saying "i agree with the president" on this or that~  Wow what a convincing reason to vote Romney!  people;le just remember their big impressions. 

You didn't blast him for bowing to other world leaders nor explain why that was an important symbol of America's declining stature and why that's dangerous.  You didn't hammer him for defense cuts and mothballing aircraft carriers.  You didn't crush him for waffling on gay marriage and stand up against it to solidify your base.  Most people don't favor gay marriage!  But you were too afraid you'd offend the 2 or 3 moderates in the audience - those "swing voters" that you just had to have, by turning away from your main constituency of bible believing morality loving Christians.

You failed to blast him for turning the white house into a party house, Jay Z the racist sexist rap star, Michelle's extravagant wardrobe when they accused you of being the party of the rich - those many vacations more than any other president, using extra airplanes to get there to counter their phony environmental arguments.  You didn't hit him over the head with his past as a member of the socialist party, and explain what that is and why it's wrong for America.  You could have showed the documentation proving his alliance with not only that, but also the many terrorists who have visited the white house, his favoring evil figures like Raila Odinga and Bill Ayers, and how Ayers wrote Obama fraudulent book.  you weren't allowed to discuss any of this because you were afraid you would lose!

And see the results!  Losers! 

Obama's communist mentors, his radical preacher mentor, his golf addiction, his spending habit, his past drug use!  All true facts, low hanging fruit ripe for the picking.  You could have painted him in his true colors as a deeply naive, idealistic megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur.  Show the deficit more!  Show the healthcare bill that will collapse the world economy!  Show the unrest in the cities with Obama friends he embraced called the occupy movement.  Teach the world about his radical past, his nightmarish agenda for the future, his dark and scary friends, his abandonment of allies like Israel and England, his embrace of the Muslim brotherhood and the Arab spring which is a nightmare for the world.  No no, all you did was say, he's just misguided, not getting the job done.  Meanwhile he successfully paints you as a woman hating, poor people crushing, selfish rich murderer.  He called you a murderer and you said nothing!  How about, Mr. President, I have to object, you are running ads in your campaign calling me a murderer and I'd like an apology.  Meanwhile you allow terrorists to visit the white house and I think the American people should demand an apology for that. 

No, be nice.  And lose, lose, lose.  Why not use the truth to paint a stark contrast between what's right vs. wrong, good vs. evil?  What in the hell have you got to lose?

You needed to reach out to Latinos!  Well why not talk about immigration and fairness!  They love that issue.  They would side with you for saying "wait in line with everybody else and come in legally, we'd love to have you."  Explain no other nation on earth let's people poor across their porous border and then shower them with money upon arrival.  And why on earth when you needed their vote didn't you play up the fact that you have a Mexican past?  You guys were idiots to not talk that up to Latinos. 

You could have hammered him on Solyndra but failed because 2 or 3 "swing voters" might think you were anti-green!  You could have decimated him on Benghazi but feared the media taking his side.  And that brings up another thing.  Only Gingrich really blasted the media and people ate it up.  Your biggest asset could have been a cogent argument proven by facts that the media vote democrat, support the left, and it shows in their donations, therefore they are biased.  You could have once or twice refused to answer their stupid questions as a protest that people would have loved! 

Instead you guys go on left wing shows on left wing networks, while avoiding the people who could really help you on right wing talk radio!  You could embrace the greatest minds of the party such as Limbaugh, Levin and others.  You even refuse to go on a show like Bill O' Reilly, now how did that somehow help you?

The truth is your ally.  Right wing talk offers it up every day.  You left it sitting their unused, and lost.  There are better strategies other than chucking your long-cherished and deeply held convictions.  Like fighting harder and telling the truth.

Studying the Proper Date and Time for the Lord's Memorial Supper

AS AN EPIPHANY BIBLE STUDENT ECCLESIA, This year 2019, we observed our Lord's Memorial on March 19.  The question arose as to why other groups observe April 18.  Here is the underlying scholarship from PT1920 by PSL Johnson.

First, from http://epiphanybiblestudents.com/blog/2019/2/18/no-739-some-thoughts-for-the-memorial

"The correct time for the observance for 2019 is after 6 p.m. on March 19. The date is determined by this method: The moon nearest the Vernal Equinox becomes new in Jerusalem on March 6 at 6:03 p.m., thus establishing 6 p.m. March 6 as the beginning of Nisan 1. Counting forward to Nisan 14, we arrive at 6 p.m. March 19. Any time that evening after 6 p.m. would be proper for the celebration."

  

MEMORIAL SUPPER—APRIL 3, 1920

IN VIEW of the unreliability of the dates connected with the Passover in the Jewish calendars, and in harmony with our course of last year, we wrote to Professor Doolittle of the University of Pennsylvania, a recognized authority on Astronomy, asking him kindly to give us in Greenwich Mean Time the date, hour, minute and second when the moon nearest the Vernal Equinox becomes new this year. We take pleasure
Page 23-C2A
in submitting to our readers, who, we are sure, appreciate his kindness, that part of his letter that contains his answer to our question:

"My dear Professor Johnson:—

The Sun crosses the equator in 1920 at 9 hours 59 minutes 0 seconds, P.M., March 20. It is very easy to tell which new moon is nearest this date; because it happens that the moon is new on this same day. The exact time is March 20, 10 hours 55 minutes 48 seconds A.M. Thus the moon will be new just 11 hrs. 3 min. 12 secs. before the Vernal Equinox. It gives me great pleasure to send you this small information. With all best wishes to you, I remain

Very sincerely yours,

[signed] Eric Doolittle.

For the reasons given below, the facts that Professor Doolittle gives us prove that the moon nearest the Vernal Equinox this year becomes new March 20 at 10 hours 55 minutes and 48 seconds P.M. local time at 180 degrees East Longitude; and that this would make the first and fourteenth day of Nisan begin at 6 P.M. March 21 and April 3 respectively at 180 degrees East Longitude. In view of the fact that the Jewish calendar begins this year at 6 P.M. March 19, and their Nisan 14 at 6 P.M. April 1, which is two days too early, and which is likely to be observed by some of the Lord's people, as our Lord's Memorial date, and in view of the fact that we have many new readers since last year, we have decided to republish our last year's article on the Memorial Date, with such changes as the different date and added details require should be made.

Some advocate taking the evening that introduces the day in which the moon becomes full as Nisan 14. This, of course, is a mistake; for Nisan 14 may or may not come at the full of the moon. This can be readily seen from several facts. (1) A lunar month does not begin until the first full 24 hours' period, starting at 6 P. M., sets in after the moon becomes new; e.g., let us take the case noted in Z. 1906, p. 20, col. 1, last par. to the end of the article. That year the Nisan moon became new March 24, 6:52 P.M., i.e., 52 minutes after the lunar day began. Therefore Nisan 1 began that year March 25 at 6 P.M.; for the first day of a month like every other day must be a full day. In this way all nations that have used the lunar calendar, including the Jews, have had the first day of each lunar month begin. Hence that year Nisan 14 in its last five hours and eight minutes was at the full of the moon. (2) Had the moon become full just at or a few minutes before 6 P.M. March 24, 1906, Nisan 1 would have begun 6 P.M. March 24 that year. Hence Nisan 14 would have begun over 42 hours before the full moon. (3) If there are no aberrations in the moon's becoming new and full in the same month, as often there are none, there would be 14¾ days between these two events; for the lunar month averages about 29½ days. In such a case the moon could not become full before Nisan 15 if the moon becomes new within 18 hours before the first day of the new month; for full 14 days would end with the end of Nisan 14 and 14¾ days would end the noon of the 15th.—i.e., 18 hours after the end of Nisan 14, if Nisan 1 and the new moon began the same hour. (4) Hence in connection with some cases that come under (1) the moon can be full on Nisan 14, when there are aberrations, as in other such cases aberrations can make it become full on Nisan 15. (5) Astronomers have proven that conditions like those mentioned under (1) and (4) occurred in Nisan, 33 A.D., and that at our Lord's death the moon was full Nisan 14. These considerations will show how uncertain it is to fix Nisan 14 as the day of the full moon, as "The Herald" Editors last year attempted to do. Our Pastor repeatedly announced as the Memorial date one coming before the full moon.

Last year the Jews were mistaken in fixing 6 P.M. April 13 as the beginning of Nisan 14. While it is true that, if we had taken the time when the moon last year became new at Philadelphia, which was at 4:05 P.M. March 31, Nisan 1 and 14 would have begun 6 P.M. March 31 and April 13 respectively; yet if reckoned with its becoming new at Greenwich, where practically the whole world begins to count. Longitude East and West, it was nearly 9:05 P.M., and therefore, Nisan 1 beginning 6 P.M. April 1, Nisan 14 would have begun April 14, 6 P.M. The reason for this is apparent: While the moon becomes new everywhere at the same instant of absolute time, it becomes new by the clocks of different places one hour sooner for every 15 degrees that one travels eastward, and one hour later for every 15 degrees that one travels westward. Therefore people who travel eastward have to put their watches ahead one hour every 15 degrees, while those who travel westward have to put their watches one hour back every 15 degrees.

It is very desirable to have all the brethren celebrate the Memorial on the same solar date and on Nisan 14 the world over. In view of the above mentioned local differences in the time of the new moon, how may this be done? Because of the location of the easternmost Truth people, the most sensible way to solve the difficulty is to begin where the whole world begins to date the day—i.e., 180 degrees East of Greenwich, and count the day as beginning at 6 P.M., and not at midnight. We all learned as children in our Geographies that when sailors, traveling eastward, pass 180 degrees Longitude, they move the calendar date back one day, while those who, traveling westward, cross 180 degrees Longitude move their calendar date one day ahead. The easternmost Truth people West of 180 degrees Longitude East live in New Zealand. This fact makes it easy for all of the Truth people the world over, beginning with New Zealand, to memorialize on the same solar day and proper lunar day, by beginning to count the lunar month at 6 PM., as the case may require, at or next after the moon's becoming new at 180 degrees Longitude East. And this is also easy to find out. We need only ask a competent Astronomer at what date, hour, minute and second the nearest vernal equinoctial moon becomes new according to Greenwich Mean Time, which begins to count the hours at the average exact noon at Greenwich, and then count just twelve hours ahead; this will give us the exact local time when that moon becomes new 180 degrees East Longitude. This year according to Professor Doolittle's letter it will be about 10:56 P.M. March 20. This would make the first full lunar day after the moon becomes new this year begin at 6 P.M. March 21; hence Nisan 14 would begin April 3 at 6 P.M.

If, however, we in various places should take the local time when the moon becomes new, all of us will not always be able to observe the Memorial on the same solar and proper lunar day. Our solar calendars will enable us to memorialize on the same solar day; but frequently would prevent us from memorializing on the same lunar day—i.e., Nisan 14; e.g., last year, if we in America should have taken the local time of the moon's becoming new, even in the easternmost part of America, and the British brethren should have taken the local time of the moon's becoming new even in the westernmost part of Britain, we here would have celebrated on the evening of April 13, and the British brethren on the evening of April 14. Hence the necessity of having one fixed place at which we should begin to count. The only way this can be done on every occasion for the brethren everywhere is to have both the solar and lunar dates on the same day, and thus enable all the Lord's people to observe the same solar and the proper lunar day. This would require us to begin, as the whole world does, the day at 180 degrees East Longitude, and then count the first day of Nisan as beginning at 6 P.M. of the first full lunar day of the new moon nearest the Vernal Equinox at 18o degrees East Longitude—i.e., the evening of March 21 this year.

The Jews are not reliable in giving us exact lunar time, as their calendar for several years proves. It is simply a Talmudic myth, contrary to the Bible, that in Biblical times the lunar month was begun at the first full 24 hours' period beginning at 6 P.M. after watchers first saw and reported the new moon to the officials. In Old Testament times they evidently fixed the beginning of the new moon ahead of time by astronomical calculations, even as David knew beforehand the date of the new moon—1 Sam. 20: 5, 18, 24.

The difficulty of finding out the date of the Passover from local calendars and harmonizing it with various other connected matters prompted our dear Pastor, Z. 1905, p. 127, col. 1, par. 3-5, to recommend discontinuing observing Nisan 14 and instead taking the date of the Nominal Church, the eve of Good Friday. But the brethren very generally wrote to him advising against this change. This prompted him to withdraw his advice, but to write in Z. 1906 the article on page 20 from which last year "The Herald" quoted as proof that the anniversary date of observing the Memorial was rather immaterial. By our Pastor's writing that article some disharmony was introduced with previous and subsequent pointed utterances of his on the propriety of observing Nisan 14 and no other date. Unlike "The Herald," we accept that view of his that he expressed both for years before, and for years after he wrote what "The Herald" quoted. This being a matter of consecration, he of course did not treat it as a law of justice and dogmatically insist on the date. He, however, never for convenience sake took a Sunday evening for the Memorial, when Monday or some other day was the proper one for Nisan 14, as "The Herald" last year advised. Vol. VI, p. 481, par. 1, contains his thought as he taught it, not dogmatically but suggestively, for years before and after the article of January 15, 1906, quoted by "The Herald." In Z. 1905, p. 87, par. 1, he says: "With carefulness equal to that shown by our Lord and His Apostles, let us keep the feast, the Memorial of His death, as He directed—not at any time, morning, noon or night, but only as a Supper—not on any day—but only on its anniversary—if we would do this, rather than commemorate something else on some other date." In Z. 1911, p. 40, col. 2, end of par. 4, after giving reasons pro and con, he sums up as follows: "We advise, therefore, that the exact date according to the Jewish [lunar] calendar be followed." That he did not here mean that we should follow the Jews in their calendar errors is evident from the fact that he several times announced a different date from the mistaken Jewish date. Early in 1913 he announced a mistaken date, i.e., a date a month before the right time; therefore in Z. 1913, p. 66, col. 2, par.1, he corrected the date, which shows that he was and grew more particular on this point, even advising, though of course not dictatorially, a second memorializing, if the wrong date was kept. Pointedly he expressed himself in Z. 1915, p. 70, col. 2, par. 1, 2, "But our Lord emphasized the importance of killing the Passover lamb when He announced Himself as its antitype, and when .He invited us to celebrate His death on its anniversary. . . . It would be a great blessing . . . to join heartily in its celebration—on its anniversary instead of at various other time." "That Servant's" thought on this subject underwent three changes, as was the case on the New Covenant, first the right one, second for a short time a mistaken one, and third and finally the right one. "The Herald" therefore last year did not properly represent his thought; for it quoted his temporarily mistaken thought to prove its claim, whereas before and afterwards he rejected that thought.

In. view of the above facts we advise the brethren to celebrate the Memorial after 6 P.M. April 3. The time and place where the Philadelphia Ecclesia will celebrate will be announced, D.v., in our next issue.

Octaman Sings The Divine Plan of the Ages Live

For Bible Students, listen for the famous quote by Pastor Russell in the first volume of Scripture Studies sometimes called "Close Your Eyes" and sent as a comfort message on postcards. It is a great blessing to present this on the day we observe the Lord's Memorial this year after sundown, March 19, 2019.

"CLOSE YOUR EYES

for a moment to the scenes of misery and woe, degradation and sorrow that yet prevail on account of sin, and picture before your mental vision the glory of the perfect earth. Not a stain of sin mars the harmony and peace of a perfect society; not a bitter thought, not an unkind look or word; love, welling up from every heart, meets a kindred response in every other heart," ...

10 AMAZING BIBLE PROOFS! - Number 11 will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

War, Revolution and Anarchy

Pastor Charles Taze Russell was fully correct with the prognostication, if not perfect, of what was to be expected at this time — War, Revolution and ultimately Anarchy. This is exactly what we are seeing today. More and more people agree that we are in Anarchy now, without any knowledge of Bible prophecies.

This drama is heading toward the grand climax of the continuing battle between conservatives and radicals we were taught to expect which we understand is “The Battle of Armageddon”. Ever since 1874 and particularly since 1914 we have witnessed the growing division of right versus left, socialism versus nationalism, and the battle is growing hotter by the minute. ...

Israeli Defense Forces: 17 Miraculous Israeli Military Victories

https://medium.com/@OctamanRadio/israeli-defense-forces-17-miraculous-israeli-military-victories-4f17b364ed6a

Are the Jews Really Jewish? Refuting the Khazar Theory

Are the Jews Really Jewish? Refuting the Khazar Theory

Rev. Fred Klett

I have heard, from time to time, the idea expressed that Jews, particularly Eastern European Jews (known as “Ashkenazim,” after “Ashkenaz” meaning Germany) are not really Jewish at all, but are descendants of the Khazar tribe, which converted to Judaism. Therefore, it is argued, since most Jews are Askenazi; the Jewish people of today have little relation with the ancient people of God. Is this true?

First, let's remember that there are also Sephardic Jews who were centered in Muslim countries and Spain. (“Sepharad” means Spain in ancient Hebrew.) Yemenite, Ethiopian, Cochin, and other Jewish groups have separate and distinct ancient origins different from the Ashkenazi community. Granted, most Jews are Ashkenazi, but the percentage of the Jewish people coming to Israel from other heritages is growing. In Israel today the more traditional Sephardis (who are less likely to use birth control) are multiplying at a faster rate than the Ashkenazis. So we can't simply ignore the Sephardic Jews and Jews of other origins, to begin with.

Second, is it true that most of the Ashkenazi Jews are descended from the Khazars? The evidence by no means leads to the conclusion that they are not descendants of Abraham because of the Khazari connection. Let's see what we can find out about the Khazars:

1. We know that the Khazars were a Turkish tribe living between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea in the eighth century. ¹

2. To what extent the Khazars converted to Judaism is open to debate. According to the scholar Robert M. Seltzer, “The Judaism of the Khazars has been much discussed but the historical evidence is very limited. Only the ruling class of the Khazars became Jews...”² Raphael Patai states: “For more than two centuries Judaism was the religion of the ruling class while other religions, notably Islam, but also Christianity, were extensively practiced among the people.”³

3. Abba Eban has written: “...the rulers of the Khazars apparently converted to Judaism at the end of the eighth century, although the majority of the population appears to have remained either Christian or Moslem.”⁴ According to Max Dimont, “In 969 Duke Sviatoslav defeated the Khazars and incorporated their territory into the new Russian state he was founding....And so it came about that the former Jewish kingdom of Khazar became part of Mother Russia, and its people made the sign of the cross to the Russian Orthodox formula Gospodi Pomiloy instead of bowing reverently to the Hebrew Shema Yisroel.”⁵  

4. Eban also wrote: “It is likely too that some Khazar progeny reached the various Slavic lands where they helped build the great Jewish centers of eastern Europe.”⁶

5. Many Jews from other lands emigrated to Khazaria both prior to and subsequent to the conversion of the Khazars.⁷

Conclusion: There were members of a tribe of Turkic people who converted to Judaism. Many of their people remained Christian or Muslim, and some of those who had converted to Judaism became Russian Orthodox when conquered by Russia. Some of their descendants probably survived to join the Eastern European Jewish community. This, in a nutshell, is what we know about the Khazars. Does this information lead to a conclusion that the Jewish people of today are not really Jewish at all and are not in fact the descendants of Abraham according to the flesh? Hardly!

What motivates those who argue this way? Some may simply have been convinced by speculative theories. Possibly anti-Semitism may motivate others, but I think we need to be careful with such a charge. Still others may be motivated by a more positive desire to affirm the truth that most ultimately the children of Abraham are those who believe in the Messiah and have by faith embraced the covenant. This is clearly taught by Romans 4 and Galatians 3. Romans 11 tells us that those who believe are grafted into the tree of the patriarchs, but there God also clearly tells us that He has a concern for the natural branches and is able to graft them in again to their own tree.

Not a Race: A “Community of Descent”

There is truth to the statement “the Jews are not a race.” The Jewish people are a “community of descent,” which differs from a “race.” Today's Jewish people are, by and large, the community of physical descent from Abraham and the patriarchs.

Let me illustrate this point. If I were to marry an Asian woman and father children who then married other Asians, these children would be my descendants. If that woman were to die and I were to marry an African woman and have children, and they were to marry others of African descent, they would also be my descendants. One set of descendants would be racially Asian and the other racially African, but they would both be my descendants! Today's Jewish people are, by and large, the community of physical descent from Abraham and the patriarchs, whatever their race. Race is not the issue. The issue is descent. Black Ethiopian Jews, blonde Jews from Scandinavia, and Cochin Jews from India are racially different but are all Jewish. Sure there has been intermarriage, rape, and conversion of Gentiles. Some non-Jews have entered into ethnic Jewry, and no doubt, many Khazars, but at the core, the Jewish community remains descended from patriarchal Israel. There is still a Jewish “community of descent.” Am Israel Chai!

Can it be refuted that Jews named Levi, Levitt, Levinson, Lewis, etc. trace their heritage to the tribe of Levi or that Jews named Cohen, Cohn, Cahn, Kaplan, Katz, etc., trace their ancestry to the Cohanim, the priestly descendants of Aaron? This knowledge has been preserved in part because of the special roles these descendants have had in the synagogue. You must know if you are a Priest or Levite in the synagogue. It has only been fifty generations since the first century. It doesn’t seem so difficult to believe that this sort of information could be passed on orally given the importance of it in synagogue life. Recent genetic studies have found a common genetic link, tracing back to a single ancestor, that connects Jewish males from all over the world claiming priestly heritage. Also, a very large percentage of Ashkenazi Jews all descend from four women of Middle Eastern origin. In general, genetic studies have shown Ashkenazi Jews in general have significant MiddleEastern genetic origins, which demonstrates non-Khazar ancestry. Granted, unless DNA studies are done on remains of certifiable Jewish ancestors, which yet may happen, these studies are not conclusive proof of descent from Abraham, but they do at least establish Askenazi Jews have Middle Eastern ancestry and they do refute the idea that all Ashkenazi Jews are simply Khazars. So what if there has been some influx of non-Jews? Non-Jews, like the Khazars, have married into the community of descent from Abraham. It is a most reasonable conclusiuon that most Jews today still share the ancient Israelites as their common ancestors.⁸ As a people, Jews are the community of Abraham's physical descendants.

A Providential Preservation

God has preserved the Jewish people against overwhelming odds. The great American theologian, Jonathan Edwards, said: “The Jews may be considered as a remarkable evidence of the truth of revealed religion, in that they were preserved so long a time a distinct nation from all others, even since their father Jacob's time, till this day; being neither destroyed, nor abolished, nor lost by mixing with other nations.”⁹ Edwards recognized God's amazing preservation of the Jewish people, a preservation motivated by grace and accomplished to God's own glory. When the Jewish people return to faith in their own Messiah, Jesus, it will be to His glory and praise. The ethnic children of Abraham will come back into the spiritual family of Abraham by faith, the New Covenant Community.

Truly, the promises of God and the election of God are only realized through faith in Messiah. Praise the God of Israel that He has opened a way for all people to become Abraham's spiritual children through Messiah, the ultimate seed of promise! As for the natural branches of Abraham's tree, God is still faithful to His promises. He has told us: “As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God's gifts and His call are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:28-29) May those of Abraham’s natural descent soon return to the God of their fathers and soon join with all those of spiritual descent, that is, all who believe, so that a great blessing may be experienced by all and that the good news of Messiah will prosper in the world.

Proper Transliteration of the Tetragrammaton YHVH

This is Brother Joseph Israel, a man I was privileged to meet.  He passed to his reward on March 2 of this year.  In the end, it's Yah and Yehovah, accent on the vah!

I am inclined to agree.  Tell us what you think.

Pyramid Calculations Corroborate The Bible Chronology

The Great Pyramid of Gizeh shows the following dates of significant Biblical events. They are an exact confirmation of the Bible's own chronology.

These dates are arrived at in numerous ways, the details of which can be read in the most definitive book on the subject, "Great Pyramid Passages" by John and Morton Edgar, from which this list was compiled. Many dates, such as Jesus' resurrection in A.D. 33, are shown in several different places. More dates could be given. This is a brief compilation in no particular order.

• Birth of the "man Jesus Christ" B.C. 2
• Baptism of Jesus A.D. 29
• Death and Resurrection of Jesus A.D. 33
• Giving of the Law at the date of the Exodus B.C. 1615
• Date of the Fall of Adam B.C. 4126
• Death of Jacob B.C. 1813
• WWI - End of Gentile Times A.D. 1914
• Return of Christ A.D. 1874
• End of the Jewish "Double" of disfavor A.D. 1878
• Resurrection of the Church begins A.D. 1878

Great Pyramid Facts

*Compared to the Great Pyramid, the Chicago Twin Towers are 4 ' 10" high without the space between floors.

*All the masonry to build a highway from San Fransisco to New York 8' wide and 6" thick - fits inside the Great Pyramid.

*Only a few places on earth could hold the weight of the Great Pyramid.

*The height of the Great Pyramid is equal to the average height of land on earth. 

*The Great Pyramid sits in the center of the longest land paralell and meridian, equally dividing all four quadrants of earth's land masses long before Columbus.

*The Great Pyramid was covered with mirror smooth casing stones, 20 tons each, with a smoothness "equal or better to that of your reading glasses." 

*There were 144,000 of them.

*It is the only structure that can be seen from space.

*The space between the stones is smaller than a human hair, or piece of tin foil, exact to the thousandth of an inch. Today's technology can move stones 10 to 20 tons each to within 1 or 2 inches of each other.

*The most accurate macro manipulator (precision movement of large objects) from NASA can move items only 1 and a half tons to within 50,000th of an inch, not 1 or 2 thousands as in the pyramid.

*In aiming toward True North, the Pyramid is off by 3 minutes of arc. The best modern science can achieve is 6 minutes off.

*Since the Pyramid was built, there has been a movement of the North Pole. At the time of its erection the Great Pyramid was only .001 off True North.

*The greatest scientist of all time, Sir Isaac Newton, broke the code of the Great Pyramid by discovering what he called "the Sacred Jewish Inch." 

*After studying the Great Pyramid, Newton dedicated the rest of his life to Bible study.

*The peripheri of the Great Pyramid is 36,524 inches. Moving the decimal reveals the exact lenght of the earth year.

*The Pyramid is the most heavily measured structure on earth, to within a thousandth of an inch through lazers, etc. 

*Measuring up the ascending passage to the year 33 a.d. one finds the start of the Grand Gallery, and the exact date of April 3, 33 a.d. Here is found "the Christ Triangle," incorporating the angle of the passages we find September 29, 2 b.c. as the birth of Christ. The third leg of the triangle points to the date Octover 14, 29 a.d. - the baptism. 

*Placing the triangle over a map of the area points to Bethlehem.

*The Pyramid points out 1914 - the start of World War I.

*The Ark of the Covenant dimensions are an even multiple of the dimensions of the King's Chamber. 

*The three granite plugs of the Pyramid are made from the same mount that the 10 commandments were carved in, being a unique red granite, (though not absolutely proveable, tests well against minerals.)

*Isaiah 19:19-20 points to two Egypts - upper and lower, the border of which goes right through the Pyramid. What a coincidence!

Where did all these facts come from? Russell? Smythe? Taylor? Edgar? Nope. This was all quoted directly from physicist John Sajak, appearing on the Art Bell radio broadcast only a couple years ago. It is all based in his own recent personal findings. On the show he was asked by a caller if he believed Jesus was the Son of God and Saviour of the World. He said he did, but was strictly making a scientific investigation.

When asked if the Great Pyramid could possibly have been built by extra-terrestrials, without the Supreme Being involved, he said: 

"Only if that extraterrestrial being had a desire to promote religion and at the same time had the ability to control events thousands of years in advance, then you'd be right. Then my only question is why is he promoting religion and why is he telling the whole world that these events will occur, at these particular times, and particularly the most significant one is the birth and crucifixion of Jesus Christ."

It was wonderful to see how God can use modern science to announce the Truth. Art Bell even defended his guest against a caller who was angry because there was no mention of Buddha, who was born before Christ.

"Well the mathmatics doesn't point to Buddha sir," Art said. "It points to Christ."

More Great Pyramid Facts

The Great, the Mighty God ...hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day. Jer 32:18-20

The architect of the Great Pyramid knew the exact length of the solar year, even to the tenth part of the second. This is shown in at least sixplaces, and by means of four units of length.

There is a second period known as the stellar year, or sidereal, year, about 20 minutes longer than the solar year. Thirdly there is another length called the orbital or anomalistic, year, which is in turn a few seconds longer still. And these two latter year lengths are also enshrined in the Great Pyramid. 

The "Precesssion of the Equinoxes", a period of 25,827.5 years, the time required for our solar system as a unit to make one revolution around its vastly greater sun, the Pleiades, is shown exactly in the pyramid in four places.
Other scientific truths enshrined in the pyramid:
1. The mean distance from the earth to the sun.
2. The weight of the earth.
3. The mean density of the earth.
4. The fact of the sphericity of the earth.
5. The polar diameter of the earth, or the exact length of earth's polar axis of rotation.
6. The earth's mean orbit and maximum variation.
7. The variation of the earth's ecliptic.
8. The earth's mean temperature (the average temperature of the air in the Kings chamber).
9. The exact inch, foot, yard, furlong and mile, including the true length of the Standard Geographical Mile, a measure of 2917.467+ Pyramid Cubits.
10. The exact grain, ounce, pound, stone, (English weight of 14 pounds) and ton. 11. The standard British (and American) measures of the pint, quart, gallon, bushel and "quarter."
12. The art of squaring the circle in theory and in practice.
13. The art of doubling the cube, likewise in practice as well as in theory.
14. The art of that extremely difficult mathematical feat of offering a practical solution to the baffling problem, the quadrature of the circle.
15. The direction of True North.
16. The Pi Proportion, Pi being the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference, 3.14159+
17. The total land-area of the earth, the pyramid located in such a manner as to divide said land-area into four equal quarters, and in so doing to thus define both the earth's "master-meridian" of longitude, and "master-parallel" of latitude. In other words, the meridian passing over the Great Pyramid from north to south traverses more miles of land, and less of sea, than any other that can be drawn around the earth at any place, and that same distinction holds true of a parallel passing over the Pyramid's apex from east to west, or vice versa.

What about the Bible?

1. The cubic capacity of the Coffer in the King's Chamber is exactly the same as that of the famous Ark of the Covenant.
2. The Coffer's cubic capacity is also identical with that of the Jewish laver, and with that of the lavers, or baths, in the world-famous King Solomon's Temple, dedicated 1000 bc.
3. The "Golden Sea" of King Solomon's Temple had a capacity exactly equal to the cubic contents of the Coffer times 50.
4. Noah's Ark had a capacity identical with the cubic contents of the Coffer multiplied by 100,000.
The book of Job makes repeated mention of it. See 9:9, 19:24, 26:7 and 13, 28:7-9, 37:15-18, 38:4-36.
