113) Contract Nation vs Covenant Nation

Hammurabi’s and Moses’ codes both explicitly state that their purpose is to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land to prevent injustice. The difference between the two codes – and this is huge – lies in the contractual nature of Hammurabi’s Law vs the covenantal nature of the Mosaic Law. Human nature is such that powerful rulers, whether a theo-cracy – rule by the gods, or aristo-cracy – rule by the aristocrats, over powerless masses inevitably overrides the contractual agreements.

The Greeks recognized this problem when they replaced their kings with new forms of government. First came Democracy – People Power. In Athens, all male citizens were eligible to participate in the city’s governing assembly. Obviously, this only works in small city states, and most of all, worked because anyone who didn’t fit in was eliminated by ostracism – a legal procedure by which any citizen could be expelled from the city-state of Athens for ten years. Execution was also used to keep the status quo from being disrupted by new ideas, Socrates being a famous example.

Socrates’ student Plato conceived The Republic, from Latin rēs (thing) + pūblica (public), literally “the public thing”, defining the novel plan of rule of the people by using representatives in an organized political system famously implemented by Rome (hence the Latinized name) and subsequent Western nations including the United States of America. Plato also emphasizes the rights of the people through detailed expositions of political and ethical justice.

115) Bab-ylon Is Antichrist’s Universal Church For All Contract Nations

The essence of Babylon as the hyperdimensional gateway to imprisoned Lucifer and the rest of the rebel gods / fallen angels, regardless of location or local name, is detailed in the Sumerian text Enki And The World Order. Fortunately for transferring information across time, cultures and languages, it uses classic Sumerian imagery (ETCSL 1.1.3), from which I have translated the biblical meanings.

  1. Grandiloquent lord of heaven and earth, self-reliant [the singularity, eternal], Father [authority] Enki,
  2. cherished by En-lil / Adam,
  3. the Great Mountain
    • the same Sumerian cuneiform symbol for the Great Mountain as object also conceptualizes the person bridging heaven and earth,
  4. beloved by holy An / Ani / Singularity Creator, king,
  5. meš / Rituals tree
  6. planted in the Abzu [and from there] rising over all lands;
    • conceptually pure energy chaos comprised of the rebel sons of God cast out of heaven, some bound at the center of earth / hell, and some in space above earth.
  7. great dragon
    • identifying himself with his clone father Lucifer]
  8. who stands in Eridu(g),

116) Jerusalem Is YHVH’s Worship Center For Covenantal Monotheism

“Jerusalem…the city which I have chosen me to put my name there…for all the earth is mine.“ (Ezekiel 24:2, I Kings 11:36, Exodus 19:5)

“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem…to give thanks unto the name of the LORDPray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee…because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.: (Psalm 122)

The garden of Eden is not found on earth today, no doubt it was flooded under the Mediterranean Sea at the time of Noah’s flood.

However the entrance to the garden of Eden, being “eastward in Eden” (Genesis 2:8), must still be above water on “the mountain of the LORD” since the gateway to the garden is where the Adams would have continued making the blood sacrifice for sin as taught by YHVH.

This is where Abel’s blood sacrifice was accepted over Cain’s vegan offering, for obvious reasons. Cain did not engage in activities designed to achieve peace, undividedness-unity, alliance with God through respecting his ways. Not even – notably – with his brother. Cain was either competing with his brother to be the favorite, or competing to be an equal with God directly. In any case, unity / peace with God requires unity / peace with his family.

“Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.” (Genesis 4:3-5)

How did God show respect to one and not the other? Standard MO is fire from heaven,

117) Covenantal Monotheism Available In All The Nations Of The World

When Nimrod’s tower enterprise fell apart at Babel in the land of Shinar, and Asshur, a rebel son of Shem, hunts down the scattering nations to corral them back, Shem as “the father of all the children of Eber”, ordains Eber to go out into the world to minister to the fleeing refugees.

That’s just a bit confusing. How is Shem the father of all the children of Eber?

In the same sense of spiritual authority, exactly what the more familiar Abraham “the father of all them that believe”, inherited as his Melchizedekian role.

Cultural historians confirm the biblical account that righteous Shem’s great-grandson Eber is the namesake founder of the Hebrews of whom Abraham “our father” is the first person identified as such.

Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abram; the same is Abraham.” (I Chronicles 1:24-17)

“Little is known about the oldest eras of ancient Hebrew civilization because the culture was nomadic.”

And that would be because they were running for their lives. Continue reading “117) Covenantal Monotheism Available In All The Nations Of The World”

118) Who Are The Gentiles?

According to genetic studies, at one time in the past humanity experienced a “population bottleneckonly four male ancestors were left after a sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events such as…flood.
This scientific finding validates the account of four male survivors of the flood apocalypse documented by the Hebrews as having occurred approximately 4,500 years ago.
  1. Noah begat three sons,
  2. Shem,
  3. Ham, and
  4. Japheth.” (Genesis 6:9-10)

The Bible defines the descendants of Japheth as the “Gentiles”, later identified by Josephus as the Indo-European speaking peoples, who in the earliest days emigrated west and colonized the shores of the Aegean Sea, and spread from there throughout Europe.

  1. Javan as transliterated from Hebrew into English is used up through Ezekiel until Daniel and Zachariah where it is translated asGreece“, consistent with its up-and-coming role in forwarding world events. When we understand that the letter “J” was only added to the English alphabet after the 1611 edition of the King James Bible it is easy to recognize the transliteration into Greek as Iawones, ancestor of the Ionians in Homer’s Iliad, written about 800 BC of peoples and events occurring about 1200 BC
    1. Javan’s son Elisha was the father of the Eliseans, changed to the Aeolians according to Josephus, but whose early appearance in history is demonstrated by his ancient name still being used in the Armana tablets as the Alashia, by the Egyptians as the A-ra-sa, and by the Hitttites as Alasiya. 
    2. Tarshish, Javan’s second son continued sailing beyond the far western reaches of the Mediterranean Sea. Herodotus wrote that Tartessus was by his time an unfrequented port beyond the Pillars of Hercules, now known as the Straits of Gibraltar, in what was then known as the Sea of Tarshish, now the Atlantic Ocean. This aligns with the location of pre-Flood Atlantis, the re-establishment of which would certainly be a grand coup.  Strabo located Tartessus in Spain, which being at the north end of the Straits of Gibraltar would have been a territory of Atlantis given the report in the 4th century BC by the historian Ephorus describing “a very prosperous market called Tartessos, with much tin carried by river, as well as gold and copper from Celtic lands”, very lucrative during the Bronze Age for the Phoenicians located in Cilicia at another city also named Tarsus (Paul’s home town), undoubtedly the eastern-most end of a west-to-east shipping route.
    3. Javan’s son Dodan conforms to the Greek Dorian. Dodanim is translated as Rodanim in the Septuagint (1 Chronicles 1:7) and is likely the origin of the name of the island of Rhodes, home to the Colossus idol. Get it? Giant? Dodan was a god to his descendants and worshipped as the incarnation of Jupiter /  Zeus / Satan.  Greeks refer to the Dardani, or Dardanians of Asia Minor in the area still today called the Dardanelles, AKA the Helles-pont / Bridge to Greece. As the boundary between the continents Europe and Asia, the Dardanelles is a permanent battleground – right where you would post your strongest warriors. Dodan is also pronounced and spelled Dedan, which is listed among the high-status nations trading with Tyre (Ezekel 27:1-15). Think of this like having offices at the World Trade Center. In every way, including the downfall – “all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry.” (Ezekiel 27:27-28)
    4. Javan’s son Kit, the founder of the Kittim / Chittim (hard sound as in “Chaldeans”), is found in Old Phoenician records name as Kt, or Kty who settled on the island of Cyprus, giving name to the ancient Cypriot city of Kition, now the city of Larnaca. The Bible refers to these Greek warships from Kittim bringing destruction culminating with Isaiah’s prophecies against Tyre in the 8th century BC. 
  2. Gomer founded a people known to the ancient Greeks as the Cimmerians [hard C] or Gimarrai. The Greek writers Herodotus and Plutarch both identified Gomer with the district of Cimmeria, linguistically identifiable with modern Crimea and strategically as the northern hammer against the Hellespont.e1479b6e32902cfe5ec04882e87939f9
    1. Ashkenaz in the Caucasus Mountains near Mount Ararat
    2. Riphath is memorialized in the Riphaean mountain range in what is now northeastern Turkey. His descendants became known as Paphlagonians. They were listed among the allies of the Trojans.
    3. Togarmah – probably the origin of the names of the countries of Turkey and Turkmenistan. The Hittites in the 14th century BC refer to Tegarama, a region on a main trade route between Carchemish and Haran. Records from Sargon II and Sennacherib mention the destruction of the city of Til-gari-manu, 30 miles east of modern Gurun in Turkey. His descendants were called Phrygians by Greeks (Ant 1.6.1)
  3. Magog is famous for leading the apocalypse prophesied in Ezekiel 38:1-39:1 and Revelation 20:8 representing the final opponents of God’s King. Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land [at the time of the prophecy being the region of the Ukraine. of Magog [who is] the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him [Magog], I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly [without caution or preparation for war] in the isles [collection of independent entities not necessarily separated by water, in this context the Balkan States] …the nations that are in the four quarters of the earth [i.e. World War]…
    1. Persia [always associated with the Medes] / Iran
    2. Ethiopia
    3. Libya
    4. Gomer, and all his bands;
    5. the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands:
    6. and many people with thee…
  4. Madai is the father of the Medes according to Josephus. Along with the Persians they are the ancestors of modern Iranians and have always lived south and west of the Caspian Sea. The Greek historians Strabo and Herodotus both confirm that the Medes were of Indo-European origin
  5. Tubal settled a region in the center of Asia Minor / Anatolia / modern Turkey called Tabal in the Assyrian records of Tiglath-pileser I (1100 BC), where they were known for their metallurgy and trade with Tyre (Ezekiel 27:13). Josephus calls Tubal’s descendants the Thobelites, later known as the Iberes or Iberians (Spain) (Ant 1.6.1), and Nennius states that the Iberian, Spanish and Italians – quite likely the Etruscans in northern Italy – were also descended from Tubal.
  6. Meschech founded a small but formidable warrior kingdom in Asia Minor, known as Moschoi in Greek and Muski in Assyrian. The Muski later migrated to an area of Armenia, south-east of the Black Sea, establishing mountain strongholds. Mita, the Muski ruler in Asia Minor is probably to be identified with the legendary king Midas of Greek tradition. There is a possible connection between Mechesh and the old tribal name of the Muscovites of Russia, after whom Moscow (Moskva) is named, and the lowland around Moscow retains the name of Meshech in “Meschera”.
  7. Tiras was worshipped by his descendants as Thuras or Thor, the god of thunder and war. Troy was named after him as well as the Taurus mountain range. His people were called the Thracians (and marauding pirates) by the Greeks. They covered an exceptionally large region which including most of Yugoslavia to the Adriatic in the west and Macedonia in the south reaching to the Danube in the north and the Black Sea in the east. 476f9334abb2a0a3efd91ed53afb3f48

 

While “Gentile” originally meant a descendant of Japheth, by the time of the Roman Empire “Gentile” meant “descendant of the original gens/ Roman tribes.

The key feature is that these were said to have originated before the foundation of Rome (traditionally 753 BC) by ancestral gods through their hybrid demigods at the Trojan War (traditionally ended 1184 BC) [during the time of the book of Judges].

Any person who was a member of a Roman gens was an heir of these ancestors, entitled to privileges, unlike the mass of slaves and freedmen. This is recognizable from the translation into English as social category of gentleman, corresponding to the French gentilhomme (nobleman), which in the 14th century comprised the hereditary ruling class.

Roman citizenship required membership in a gens but was not restricted only to birthright. The legal process granting Roman rights and responsibilities was accomplished through adoption as sons into a Roman tribe with the bestowal of the new tribal / gens name / identity. Adoption swept away the existing state of being an inferior person or converting a non-person slave or captive into a personand bestowed a new and improved identity including

  • a new past heritage glorifying the father of the nation,
  • rights and privileges in the present
  • and protection by the gods after death.

In theory, each gens functioned as a state within a state, governed by its own elders and assemblies, following its own customs, and carrying out its own religious rites. The gentile assemblies had the responsibility of adoption and guardianship for their members, with certain cults associated with specific gentes.

The subjects in the Roman Empire at the time the New Testament letters were written understood exactly the concepts Paul explained happened to those who put their faith in the Promised Savior Son of YHVH / Singularity / Creator through the records preserved by Judaism.

  1. “God sent forth his Son…to redeem them that were under the [bondage of the] law,
    1. that we might receive the adoption of sons.
  2.  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
    1. crying, Abba, Father / ancestor God
  3. Wherefore thou art no more a servant / slave,
    1. but…an heir of God through Christ.“ (Galatians 4:4-7)

SECTION XXII:The Hebrew Commonwealth Of Nations

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him…thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee… and kings shall come out of thee.” (Genesis 17:1-5)

The easiest way to explain Abraham’s designation as “Father” is to compare his role to his current counterpart.

“Pope”  (Latin: papa, from Greek: πάππαςromanized: páppaslit. ‘father’), AKA “Holy” Father, is

  1. head priest of the worldwide Catholic Church,
  2. and also head of state or sovereign of the Holy See.

The word “see” comes from the Latin word sedes, meaning ‘seat’, which refers to the throne (cathedra) used in the Catholic Church to refer specifically to The Apostolic See, the throne of the Bishop of Rome, whom that Church sees as the successor of Saint Peter at the cathedral of the Holy See, the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in the city of Rome.

The Holy See / Throne. like the State of Israel proclaimed in 1948, is a politically sovereign entity recognized by international law. Housed within Vatican City, a geographical enclave within the separate city of Rome. As a political state, it brings its power to bear within international organizations and by means of its diplomatic relations and political accords with other much larger countries.

119) The Covenant Of Dominion Codifies Freedom And Justice For All

We find all the requisites of a godly society included with the establishment of YHVH’s prototypical nation of Israel under Moses:

  • political law and order for safety from danger within and without,
  • A national language unifying the mixed multitude that joined the Hebrew exodus from Egypt and steadily amalgamated into Israel
  • a moral code in an interdependent web of society 
  • detailed functions of government leaders
  • requirements for citizenship in God’s holy nation.

We can understand this by comparison to the American founders’ Constitution of the United States describing how the government is structured and operates.

120) Melchizedeks Are On The Front Line Of Spiritual Battle: Abram

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get…unto a land that I will shew thee [the land of Canaan]: And I will make of thee a great nation, and…in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-5)

And I will establish [NOT MAKE] my [existing] covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant,to be a God / Life-Giver unto thee, and to thy seed after thee…Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.(Genesis 13:14-15,15:18-21, 17:7-9)

This is the continuation of the existing covenant of having dominion over the whole earth through redemption from sin and death by the Seed of the Woman, explicitly stated about YHVH’s Savior to the Jews at Jerusalem by the apostle Peter.

Ye are the children of the…covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed…God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.” (Acts 3:24-26)

But taking dominion involves so much more than personally talking the talk and walking the walk thinking we’re “shining a light”. It requires confronting iniquity face to face in whatever domain of life we make choices to stand up for what is right instead of allowing evil to flourish. That often means our homes become battlefields, we lose jobs because we won’t go along with illegal, immoral, or harmful practices.

When Abram was sent to the land “of Canaan” to replace Melchizedek Shem at his beleaguered fortress of [Jeru]Salem it was like being sent into Mogadishu.

the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield [during battle], and thy exceeding great reward [upon guaranteed victory]…this land to inherit it…

In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates [once you take dominion over]: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims. And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.” (Genesis 15:1,18-21)

Abram and his seed are being assigned the dangerous task of protecting generations of the promised Seed of the Woman from the Seed of the Serpent, who at this time is Nimrod, engaged in procreating nations of hybrid giants.

For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder…The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” (Isaiah 9:5-7}

120) The Covenant Of Dominion Defines Salvation By Grace

“God’s Word affirms that the Jews are God’s chosen people: “You are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession” (Deuteronomy 7:6)…The Old Testament tells the story of how God set about creating, distinguishing, and preserving that race…The fact that God has an eternal future for Israel is evident in that five sixths of the Bible bears directly or indirectly upon them—Jesus being the central figure who brought the Jews and Gentiles together (Ephesians 2:14).

The concept of Israel as God’s Chosen People has, understandably, given America’s secularized Christianity, shifted from a spiritual perspective of harboring and producing the Seed of the Woman as YHVH’s Savior of the World, to enjoying special privileges over the rest of the world, with American alliance and support of Israel for the purpose of ensuring a stream of oil-based wealth flowing from the Middle East. In November 2017, Steve Bannon headlined a Zionist Organization of America dinner. In his remarks, Bannon praised the organization’s “unapologetic” defense of Israel, and proclaimed himself “a proud Christian Zionist,” invoking the Bible as a basis for supporting Israel.

 
And based on biblical history, YHVH is not going to get dragged into this mess either. Israel and the Gentiles grafted in were “chosen” to be representatives and purveyors of YHVH’s Redemption to the whole world – NOT plunderers of its wealth and oppressors to enjoy a privileged lifestyle!

“ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God…being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them…because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear…if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” (I Peter 2:9-10, Romans 11:17-22)

said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of IsraelHear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail…even they shall fall, and never rise up again…I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.” (Amos 9:8)

121) Melchizedeks Share God’s Blessings: Isaac

At the time of the Land Grant to unnamed seed in chapter 13, Abram had no seed.

His first seed is Ishmael, whose mother was Egyptian, i.e. from the line of Cush.

And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife…I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her…And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!” (Genesis 17)

Understand what Abraham is requesting when he uses the formulaic phrase “live before thee / be accepted permanently in thy presence as a ruler of your kingdom.”

live-long-and-prosper-gif-10Many of the old Babylonian letters…include a greetings formula in which one or two deities are invoked and the hope is expressed that they will give long life to the recipient.

Abraham is clearly following the same formula, also used towards kings in expressing good wishes for the extension of their life / genetics / ongoing rule over the kingdom through their heirs. The contrary condition helps define this blessing. 

“whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live:” (Esther 4:11)

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory…Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:” (Matthew 25:31,34)

Abram is asking that his descent / dynasty also be counted from Ishmael who would therefore also be an heir of the land grant made 15 years earlier.

And God grants Abram’s request.
