Kingdom Come

1. “Ahaziah Jehoram’s son was 22 years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem.” (II Kings 8:24-26)
2. “Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah was 42 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem.” (II Chronicles 22:21-23)

Whoa! Mistake!!! Therefore proving the Bible is not infallible and not the inerrant word of God!

Only bias immediately jumps to a desired conclusion. It is beyond belief that this was a copying error missed by the multitude of scribes and translators over thousands of years.

At this point this is an inconsistency. And inconsistencies are the best clues to uncovering the truth by psychiatric providers and homicide detectives, so this is where it’s important to investigate instead of discard.

The biblical account of the fall of the house of Ahab meets the high standards of any episode of Game of Thrones. I dare you to be bored with this historical account.

We have more records on Ahab and Jezebel than on any other kings besides David and Solomon for a reason. Jezebel is readily acknowledged to be the prototypical religious Whore of Babylon who rides / controls the political Beast during the greatest tribulation ever, driving God’s people to quit playing church and seriously seek a saving relationship with him. Many Israelites fled pagan Israel south to YHVHist Judah, as documented when King Josiah celebrates Passover for the first time in many generations with all Judah and Israel that were present.” (II Chronicles 35:17)

Between 760 and 753 BC Amos prophecies the destruction of the nation of Judah.

“I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said…I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered…the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn…”

And then after pronouncing such extreme judgement, the LORD says:

“Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel?”

In context, the LORD must be comparing Israel’s curse to another cursed people, right?

Wrong.

In context, the LORD is comparing Israel to another blessed people as he elaborates “Have not I brought up / rescued

• Israel out of the land of Egypt?
• and the Philistines from Caphtor / Crete, [fleeing the cruel Minoan culture],
• and the Syrians from Kir [after ungodly King Azah paid the king of Assyria to conquer Damascus and carry its people to Kir like the Cherokee Trail of Tears]…

In an exquisite act of justice, since Israel snubbed YHVH’s act of grace in rescuing them from slavery in the Egyptian international empire, he will put them back where he found them.

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” (Genesis 49:10)

Melchizedekian King Hezekiah, guided by the prophet Isaiah, demonstrates one episode of this prophecy coming to pass before its final fulfillment, which has not yet happened.

“And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel…they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem…saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria…Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

For if ye turn again unto the LORD your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

So the posts passed from city to city…they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem…And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.” (II Chronicles 30)

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.  And as many as walk according to this rule,

1. peace be on them [the uncircumcised], and mercy,
2. and upon the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:15-17)

Who is the “Israel of God”?

The foundational identity is the individual Jacob, [one of the sons of Isaac / Emotional laughter, one of the sons of Abraham / Father, i.e.  Spiritual Authority of Many Nations.

“Thy name shall be called no more Jacob / Supplanter, , but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men.” (Genesis 32:28)

The next phase in this identity is the group of people who choose to identify themselves with him, AKA Israel.

From Exodus 19:

“And Moses / of the tribe of Israel’s joint-heir Levi went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying,  [hold, non-family members] of Jacob, and tell the children [accepted by him as his replicas so heirs] of Israel…IF ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, THEN ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine…For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.” (Isaiah 54:5)

The purpose of this nation among Father/Authority Abraham’s other nations is not to follow a religious system in order to win eternal life, but to lead world-wide worship of the God of the whole earth, i.e. other nations!

“ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.”

But they didn’t.

“And the LORD said unto Moses…thy people…have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 32:7-8)

“All the commandments which I [Moses] command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers…that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” (Deuteronomy 8:1-3, Matthew 4:4)

The divine authorship, therefore authority, of the word of God was achieved through God uniting his Spirit with a series of human writers. Since all of them were tapped into the same uniquely noncompetitive God, no God-authorized prophet contradicts, corrects, or cancels any previous writer. This consistency provides the means by which all holy scripture, including pre-Mosaic texts such as the books of Enoch and Jasher, can be deemed reliable history.

“Hearken unto me…I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I.” (Isaiah 48:12-16)

The record of judgments on code violations prove that the laws “Thou shalt perform proper sacrifices“, Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, etc.” were disseminated from day 1 to Abel,  Job, the Hebrews such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jethro the priest of Midian, long before Moses appeared ~1500 BC.

We are not caving in to the claims of secular Higher Criticism by recognizing God’s standard practices and patterns of behavior of relying on the written word for his history of mankind in Genesis, and organization of religious practices in Exodus Deuteronomy under Moses, who did NOT establish a brand new religion, but RE-established the UNIVERSAL worship of YHVH.

Libraries in the ancient world were the centers of knowledge and learning that universities are today, specifically archiving past civilizations’ knowledge of construction, mathematics, astronomy and astrology and sacred writings on which emerging empires founded themselves. The famous Library of Nineveh, created by Ashurbanipal of the Assyrian Empire in the mid 600’s BC with the objective of gathering all the knowledge of his time from throughout  ancient Mesopotamia and established Nineveh as a crucial center of learning in the ancient world.

Libraries were established as early as 2600 BC in in Egypt. The statement that “Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians” is directly linked with “and it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel” (Acts 7:22-23) as through his studies in that library he would have encountered his heritage of birth.

“In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” (Judges 17:6)

This same situation prevailed again in the days of Jeremiah when the king and much of the ruling class was taken into captivity, the temple at Jerusalem was destroyed preventing the supervised practice of the Mosaic Law detailing regularly schedule sacrifices and rituals. 

Self-propelled teachers / rabbis sprang up throughout the diaspora, developing new interpretations of the Jewish laws and customs, new traditions collected in the Mishnah and Talmud, transforming biblical Judaism into the doctrine of the Pharisees which is so condemned in scripture.

This was battled by Zerub-babel and Nehemiah.

“And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah… sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron… Thus cleansed I [Nehemiah] them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;” (Nehemiah 12, 13:30)

However, even after a remnant returned from Babylon, rebuilt the temple, and re-established the Levitical rites, the false teachers with their easy-believism continued to corrupt Mosaic law

In this context, God’s announcement that “they shall teach no more every man…saying, Know the LORD” (Jeremiah 31:34) is a reprimand on the inevitable corruption of knowledge, understanding and wisdom among the crowd of false teachers, sects, and departures from the faith.

There is a tremendous amount of debate and confusion over the matters of Eschatology, that is, the Study of the End of Times. Two of the most prevalent school of thoughts are Covenant Theology and Dispensational Eschatology.

Covenant Theology claims that God deals with mankind through several Covenants. Most Covenant Theology theologians hold to a Covenant of Works in the Old Testament between God and Adam. The New Testament is the Covenant of Grace.

Dispensationalism is a method of biblical interpretation that teaches that Scripture is “unfolding” in a series of Dispensations beginning with Adam, changing with Noah, and so on as history progresses. Dispensationalists claim support for their interpretation through “literal” interpretation of scripture, but a literal interpretation of scripture contradicts this claim.

The Covenant of Dominion:

“God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began…Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.“” (Titus 1:2, Genesis 1:26, Genesis 9:16)

This covenant has never been replaced. It requires mankind to be in God’s image and likeness in order to be a partner, and over and over God had to single-handedly uphold this covenant, and make modifications to squeeze some men into qualifying for their side of the deal.

“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee / Moses, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

What Moses taught in word and deed in the Old Testament is absolutely fundamental to understanding YHVH’s Savior in the New Testament.

Jesus Christ validated all his claims, including the impact of his death and resurrection, through Moses’ writings.

“Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people…the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel…Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken…And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:15-27)

“I can of mine own self do nothing…I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness [by itself] is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me...

• • ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth…
  • the works which the Father hath given me to finish…bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. (Just like he sent their founder Moses, proven by the miracles – but mainly the plagues – heads up)
  • And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me…Search the scriptures…they are they which testify of me....
  • Moses…wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” (John 5)

God names His own policies and procedures “the law of Moses.“
