June 20, 2011 — Brian Haw who had lived in a tent before the House of Commons since 2002 protesting the genocide by colonies of the 'city of London' like Britain, the USA, Australia, occupied Germany, and others against Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and soon Syria, Lebanon and Iran, went to His reward this week.

Comment: In this comment we see video of a different conflict where CIA operatives work side by side with Rebel forces in Libya, a Libyan rebel beheading a Libyan soldier, gruesome footage of a Libyan rebel cutting up the rotted flesh of a dead soldier and forcing it into the hands of Libyan Prisoners of War, who are lined up in a row so they must eat it, a group of Rebels sodomizing a civilian with a pistol. Another shows a crowd of Rebels hanging and beheading a Libyan soldier, a boy who was castrated and had both eyes gouged out by NATO Rebels as punishment for refusing to join their paramilitary unit. One video yet uncollected comes from a father, who describes the kidnapping of his virgin daughter from a pro-Gadhaffi family. After dragging her out of the house at gun-point and taking her to a rape party, NATO rebels cut off her breasts with a knife, and she bled to death.
Human rights investigators are now interviewing a Libyan woman from Zawia who survived a brutal gang rape that cut off her breasts. Miraculously, horrified on-lookers saved her from bleeding to death. . . On June 19, Gadhaffi soldiers entering Misurata rescued another rape survivor. The young woman had been kidnapped and held hostage for 20 days. Rebel forces gang raped her every single day, round the clock, until Gadhaffi's forces broke through their lines and saved her life. . . Full story: veteranstoday.com
Destabilization of Syria and the Broader Middle East War
June 17, 2011 — Armed insurgents belonging to Islamist organizations have crossed the border from Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. The US State Department has confirmed it is supporting the insurgency. The United States is to expand contacts with Syrians who are counting on a regime change in the country.
This was stated by US State Department official Victoria Nuland. "We started to expand contacts with the Syrians, those who are calling for change, both inside and outside the country," she said. Nuland also repeated that Barack Obama had previously called on Syrian President Bashar Assad to initiate reforms or to step down from power" (Voice of Russia, June 17, 2011).
The destabilization of Syria and Lebanon as sovereign countries has been on the drawing board of the US-NATO-Israel military alliance for at least ten years. Action against Syria is part of a "military roadmap," a sequencing of military operations. According to former NATO Commander General Wesley Clark—the Pentagon had clearly identified Iraq, Libya, Syria and Lebanon as target countries of a US-NATO intervention. . .
What the mainstream media has failed to mention is that despite the authoritarian nature of the regime, president Al Assad is a popular figure who has widespread support of the Syrian population. . . While the Syrian regime is by no means democratic, the objective of the US-NATO Israel military alliance is not to promote democracy. Quite the opposite. Washington's intent is to eventually install a puppet regime. . .
Israel and NATO signed a far-reaching military cooperation agreement in 2005. Under this agreement, Israel is considered a de facto member of NATO. . . A military intervention in Syria on fake humanitarian grounds would lead to an escalation of the US-NATO led war over a large area extending from North Africa and the Middle East to Central Asia, from the Eastern Mediterranean to China's Western frontier with Afghanistan and Pakistan.
It would also contribute to a process of political destabilization in Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. It would also set the stage for a conflict with Iran. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: Read Daniel 11:40-45. The concept of the inviolate nation state, whereby no country had the right to attack another, which emerged out of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia was deliberately overturned by the UN Security Council in 2005 with the introduction of the Responsibility to Protect, which presumes that sovereignty is not a privilege, but a responsibility, and virtually demands that if a leadership is "threatening" its citizens, the 'City of London' and "the image unto the beast," that is, NATO, have an affirmative obligation to intervene. A preplanned subterfuge to enforce Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. Hence the 'City of London'-"image to the beast"-NATO aggression against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Macedonia, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya, Syria, and . . . the world.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) just passed by Congress authorizes worldwide war, which has no date of expiration and will allow this president and any future president to go to war anywhere in the world, at any time, without further congressional authorization.

Are Saudi Women Next?
June 18, 2011 — The unexpected visibility and assertiveness of women in the revolutions unfolding across the Arab world—in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, and elsewhere—has helped propel what has become variously known as the 'Arab awakening' or 'Arab Spring.' Major changes have occurred in the minds and lives of women, helping them to break through the shackles of the past, and to demand their freedom and dignity.
Since January 2011, images of millions of women demonstrating alongside men have been beamed around the world by television journalists, posted on YouTube, and splashed on the front pages of newspapers. One saw women from all walks of life marching in hope of a better future, for themselves and for their countries.
They appeared prominently—eloquent and outspoken, marching daily, holding caricatures of dictators and chanting calls for democratic change. They walked, bussed, traveled in carts, telephoned and tweeted with compatriots, motivated in part by social demands—above all for their own empowerment. . . Full story: truth-out.org
Comment: The "freedom and dignity" demanded by these "silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" will lead them into sin and despair (II Timothy 3:6-7). These pagans know not that they are under bondage to the spirit of Laodicea, which means "people's rights," and is the spirit of Judaeo-Communism (Revelation 3:17-20). And although they do not believe in the Holy Bible, they are fulfilling Bible prophecy for this hour, as is the State of New York which has legalized homosexual marriage unions, an abomination to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Luke 17:28-30).
Nuclear Doom
June 17, 2011 — After the first week, officials had enough information to call for evacuation of a wide area in Japan and also Hawaii, Alaska and the entire west coast of North America. They really should have evacuated all of northern Japan and also the west coast but that was almost as impossible as evacuating the entire planet or the entire northern hemisphere. . .

Air versus Skyscraper
October 16, 2008 — ALL of the videos showing planes disappearing in one piece into either WTC1 or 2 like a hot knife through butter without slowing by even one frame per second and with no parts falling off at impact, are obvious fakes, simply because they contradict fundamental laws of physics [specifically, Newton's Third Law of Motion]. Every part of every one of those videos is demonstrably fake, the plane images, the WTC building images, the sky, the foreground, background, shadows etc., etc. All are merely computer generated fabrications/animations.
The exact same fakery techniques are in effect with all of the network-aired WTC 1 and 2 "live" collapse video sequences [i.e. aired by CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox etc.]; as with the "plane into/through building" videos, most obviously deducible from the glaring fact that its scientifically impossible for 1,300+ ft. tall, 500,000 ton steel and concrete structures to completely collapse to the ground in under 20 seconds flat [average aired collapse time = 15 seconds], when a billiard ball in free-fall, dropped from the same height in a vacuum [with no air resistance—unlike the WTC buildings] would reach the ground in 9.22 seconds.
Those collapse sequence network videos, just like the "plane through building" videos, are total [i.e. 100%] computer fabrications from beginning to end, depicting as they do, physically impossible events [and ignoring for now all of the many other glaringly impossible video details, such as contradictory sunlight angles, shadows etc. present in literally every one of those network computer animations.
The real collapses must have taken place off camera behind smoke-screens, and in reality would have taken far longer than the 20 seconds or less depicted in all fraudulent network footage computer animations/fabrications aired as "the live truth" on national TV that day. What we all saw on TV that day was pure Hollywood theatre, nothing more. . .

Television is—and has always been—a Weapon of Mass Distraction. The power of TV-imagery was the driving force behind the 9/11 deception.
The News Media had a central role in pulling off the 9/11 psy-op. The operation involved airing on television a substitute, computer-generated version of reality. It has temporarily succeeded to sell to the world the preposterous tale of 19 young terrorists using hijacked airliners to attack the USA. This longstanding research has established the falseness of the images shown on LIVE TV on 9/11—as well as all the subsequently released video material. A large number of casualties was also reported to generate public outrage and support for illegal wars of aggression. However, the September Clues research has determined the alleged victims were fictitious identities mostly/or entirely created within the digital realm. The 9/11 hoax—and the phony "War on Terror"—are definitively exposed by the method revealed.

Jewish Court sentences Dog to Death by Stoning
June 17, 2011 — A Jerusalem rabbinical court condemned to death by stoning a dog it suspects is the reincarnation of a secular lawyer who insulted the court's judges 20 years ago, Ynet website reported Friday. According to Ynet, the large dog made its way into the Monetary Affairs Court in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, frightening judges and plaintiffs. . . . Their preferred divine retribution was for the lawyer's spirit to move into the body of a dog, an animal considered impure by traditional Judaism. Clearly still offended, one of the judges sentenced the animal to death by stoning by local children. . . Full story: yahoo.com
Rabbi charged with raping 12-Year-Old Girl
June 13, 2011 — A Netanya rabbi was charged on Monday with raping a 12-year-old girl. David Hafuta, 64, who prayed at the same synagogue as the minor, allegedly assaulted her on several occasions between July 2010 and May of this year. According to the indictment, the girl asked Hafuta questions about religious matters. In response, he told her that he wants to "reveal her purpose in the world". . . He told her that she is fated "to become the messiah's mother," and that she must "atone for all the bad deeds that she has done so far" by having sexual relations with him. . . . Moreover, the rabbi asked the girl to bring friends to him, and so she led two other girls to his office. He told each one that "the war of Gog and Magog (Armageddon) is near," and that she is fated to "become the mother of the messiah and save the people of Israel". . . Full story: ynetnews.com
Question on Adam and Eve
Question: I understand Eve was made (as an extension: banah) of Adam, after a considerable number of years from the time God formed Adam, as can be seen in Genesis 2:18-20. But what informs your putting it precisely at 110 years? I've been trying to see this. Please help. You taught in "Marriage and Divorce God's whole purpose is to manifest His own attributes to express what He is, that He might fellowship with those attributes in the form of His glorified Family through the harmony of faith (which is the mind of God in us). His plan was sealed in the first Adam who fell and in the last Adam who overcame. God had finished His creation long before He formed the woman as a by-product. A careful reading of Genesis reveals that Adam would have been about 110 years Eve's senior. When God formed Adam, his wife was in him, and when the Logos was made flesh in the last Adam, His Wife was in Him".
Answer: Good question! If you turn to Genesis 5:3, "Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth".
The only women mentioned in Scripture from the time of Adam until the days of Noah, are Eve and one of her daughters, the wife of Cain, "Cain knew his [own] wife" (Genesis 4:17, 19-22). Then in the days of Noah, Lamech's "two wives . . . Adah and Zillah . . . [and] the sister of Tubalcain, Naamah." Then in Genesis 5:4, "The days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters".
Clearly women are seldom mentioned in Scripture, particularly in genealogies as the descent is reckoned from the eldest surviving male heir such as Seth. (Cain was not Adam's son). By deduction, it seems possible that when Eve bore her first sons she may have born their sisters also; Adam likely fathered a number of daughters before the birth of Seth, because when Cain was made a wanderer he took his wife with him.
Eve means, "mother of all living," so when British Israel, Christian Identity (so-called) and various sects declare that Cain married into a race of pre-Adamites, you know they are in error. If Cain did not marry his sister he must have married one of his half-sisters born of Eve. Further, I would point out that Brother Branham said there was no differentiation in the colour of men's skins until after the Flood and the tower of Babel when the topography, fertility and mineral composition of soils lost their uniformity (COD, p. 307:602). God is colour blind when it comes to a man's skin, but most certainly racialist for only the descendents of Adam are redeemable, as the seed of the serpent, Cain and his descendents, are accursed, and since they are not in the race of the first Adam, the last Adam Jesus Christ is not their KINSMAN Redeemer.
Brother Branham said, "Cain married his own sister; he had to. For there was only one female on the earth then; the Bible only gives record of . . . Cain, Abel, and Seth. . . The Bible seldom records a girl's birth. You know that. . . For Eve was the only female that was created by God, and if she didn't have any daughters, when that last female, the only female, died, the human race would've ceased to exist. That right? There'd have been no more females. So she had to have daughters. And Cain married his own sister, for he had to; there's no other place for women to come from.
And it was legal and lawful in those days, even for Abraham, and even on down to Isaac. Isaac married his own blood cousin. And Abraham married his own sister, blood sister. His father's. . . It's different mothers but the same father. And the germ comes out of the male sex. Sarah, which brought forth the wonderful Isaac. . . Is that right? There wasn't nobody on the earth then.
That was all in type, showing that the. . . Here it is, brother. Isaac. . . Rebekah is a type of the Church, and Isaac is a type of the Bride, Christ. Is that right? And they must be Blood relation (Hallelujah. Amen.), blood relation. So Cain married his sister . . . Then they went over there into the land of Nod" (COD, p. 30:115, 123-126).
The Prophet also said, "Now, the only person that Cain could've had, or married, would had to be his own sister. He had to. Because there's only one male and female that they could've come from (See?), and he had to marry his own sister. Now, that was legal in those days.
And Isaac married his own first blood cousin, Rebekah, ordained of God. Sarah was Abraham's sister, his blood sister, not by his mother, by his father. See, a blood sister that Abraham married, a different mother, but same father . . .
So you see, to marry in relation then, before the stream of blood was weakened in the human race, it was legal and all right. Now, it isn't. If you'd marry your sister today, and have children, they'd probably be. . . Well, they'd just be deformed and everything. Even down to a first and second cousin should never be married (See?), because the blood stream becoming low and running low.
But the only thing then that Cain could've done, would been marry his own sister. And that's where the children was that. . . He got his wife, went to the land of Nod and knew her, and from there come the children. . . And if you notice, out of the line of Cain come the smart men. Out of the line of Seth come the religious men, I mean, the vine of righteousness. Right there, those two brought forth the very line that we're living in today.
If you'll notice today now (just in finishing this question), that lineage of Cain still exists, and the lineage of Seth still exists. They both come down just the same. Cain's children is here in Jeffersonville tonight, and Seth's children's here in Jeffersonville tonight. As the blood stream weakens and goes out, but that lineage still hangs on" (COD, p. 304:585-590).
When Cain killed Abel the half-brothers were adolescents (14—25 years of age), probably about twenty years of age (Numbers 1:1-3) each managing his own estate, the one a farmer, the other a grazier, living independently with his own wife and no longer in the house of Adam, for each offered his own sacrifice independent of the sacrifice Adam would have offered for his household. Thus, if we deduct the likely age of Cain and Abel from the age of Adam at the birth of his second son, Seth, it would seem that Adam would have been approximately 110 years of age by the time he had finished naming all the animals, at which time the Lord God put him to sleep and drew flesh and bone from his side from which he formed woman as a by-product of His spoken Word, Adam, long after He had completed creation (Genesis 2:18-25). Just as He would put the Last Adam, Jesus Christ who was the spoken Word Itself, to sleep on Calvary and draw the Holy Spirit from His side from which He is forming His wife, the Church (Matthew 27:50-52).
Let Us make Us a Name
The unity of the human race was severed by Eve's infidelity, by her reconciliation with Adam and the survival of her hybrid son Cain whom God cursed, setting "enmity" between his kinsmen and Adam's progeny (Genesis 3:15). Miscegenation with the seed of the serpent spells genocide to Adam's race as the offspring of such unions are not in the Book of Life which is the genealogy of the first Adam and irredeemable since Jesus Christ is the last Adam: He is not the last Cain. Because of miscegenation the Lord allowed the corrupt antediluvian civilization to destroy that world with atomic power, causing the universal Flood, as He will soon allow our corrupt civilization to destroy this world by atomic power. And "as it was in the days of Noah," miscegenation between the seed of the Serpent and the seed of Adam—now called 'multiculturalism'—is the besetting sin, peddled worldwide by bankster-bought politicians along with their genocidal "free trade" and carbon-tax/climate change scams designed to globalize poverty (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:1-4).
A mere century after the Flood in the days of Peleg whose name means 'division,' "for in his days the earth was divided," the post-diluvian descendants of Noah and his three sons living in the kingdom of Nimrod and his wife Semiramis, having lost the inward spiritual bond of the unity of the faith expressed historically in the God of Shem, declared, "Go to, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top may point to heaven. Let us make us a name [a Shem]." So they made the sensual, heaven-defying construction of a tower their center of gravity and object of outward unity, "Lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth," seeking to become city-dwellers and defeat God's command to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1). Cities are centers of mammon, self-relying pride of human, material attainment, and sin.
Genesis 11:1-9, "Now the whole earth was of one language, and one speech. And as men migrated [from the mountains of Ararat in Armenia] in the east they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and settled there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us mold bricks and bake them thoroughly; so they had brick for stone and asphalt for mortar. Then they said, Go to, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top may point to heaven [i.e. to Bel]. Let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men were building. And the Lord said, If they are able to accomplish all this when they have just begun to exploit linguistic and political unity, nothing they propose to do in the future will be unattainable for them. Come, let us go down, and so confound their language that they may not understand one another's speech. Thus the Lord scattered them abroad from thence over the face of all the earth: and they ceased building the city, which accordingly was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth: and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth".
Whatever differences of tongues arose before the Flood, the unity of tongues was restored in Noah, and continued until the confusion of tongues at Babel. Speech is inherent in man as the expression of thought (Proverbs 23:7), so the Greeks rightly express reason and speech by one word, "logos," for reason is inward speech and speech is outward reason. Hence God brought the animals to Adam as subordinate creatures over which he had dominion, and "whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name." His powers of perception and intelligence were supernaturally enlarged to know the characters, habits, and uses of each species that was brought to him, and he observed that none of the living creatures were on an equal footing with him, and that while each came with its mate of the same nature, form, and habits, he alone had no companion. In conversing with God and naming them he was led to exercise his powers of speech and to prepare for social intercourse with his partner who was yet to be formed (Genesis 2:19-20). Darwinian evolutionists cannot explain how the faculty of speech might have evolved in man yet not in brute beasts, or how the spirit of mortal life and the soul might have evolved from minerals.
Zephaniah 3:9 is set at the time of Jacob's trouble in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week when the 144,000 elect Israelites are being born-again; it expresses the Greek "logos," meaning 'thought in speech.' "Then I will give to the people [of Israel] a pure language that they may all call upon the Name of the Lord, to serve Him with one consent." The Lord is not going to teach them Hebrew or Aramaic, but grant them a clear revelation, which is the Logos or mind of God, "that they may all call upon the Name of the Lord, to serve Him with one consent" and He will respond to His Word. This experience of a "pure language" inaugurated Christ's Church on the day of Pentecost; the purpose of Brother Branham's ministry was to restore the apostolic faith (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11) and "finish the mystery of God" (Revelation 10:7) to call us out from Babylon and her once Protestant daughter churches into "the unity of the faith" that after the Seventh Trump we can manifest that we are the sons of God in the exercise of the 'third pull' (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19, 35-39; I Thessalonians 17b). And in speaking the "pure language" of perfect faith, what we say God will do.
Brother Branham said, "And we do have today, by God's help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine vindication." "Then that which is in part is done away with. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child; but when I become a man, I put away childish things." Amen (COD., p. 1005:57). After we depart, Israel's two witnesses will speak in "a pure language . . . And if anyone would harm them, Fire issues from their mouths and consumes their enemies. Anyone wishing to injure them must be killed in this way." The Fire issuing from their mouths in their 'third pull' will be the "pure language" of the Sword of the Spirit, the logos of the Spoken Word as in Acts 5:1-11 and Revelation 19:15.
The confusion of tongues was not random, but a systematic distribution of languages corresponding to the racial differences. "By these were the . . . Gentiles divided in their lands, each with its respective language, by their families in their nations" (Genesis 10:5, 20, 31). "Babel" means 'confusion,' while "Jerusalem" means 'peace.' The antithesis to Babel was the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem when the saints emerged from the upper room and addressed the assembled multitude of whom three thousand elect Hebrews and proselytes to Yahwism—"Parthians and Medes, and Elamites, and dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea and Cappodocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt [who read the Greek Septuagint], and in the parts of Libya, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians HEARD in their own tongues what the new-born Christians spoke in Galilean concerning the mighty works of God" (Acts 2:7-11). This was "a pure language" expressing the mind of God whose Spirit imparted the revelation to His elect, for in order to be born-again one must be unanimous, "in one mind in the present Truth" like the hundred and twenty before them (Acts 2:1).
In Genesis 11:5-8 God came down to confound and bring discordant tongues among the races; in Acts 2 God came down to restore unity among an election of men in Adam's race through faith in Jesus Messiah. Whereas from the tower of Babel to Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon to the Judaeo-Roman Catholic "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF (once Protestant) HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" today, Babylon in all of its phases has institutionalized religion AGAINST God, and for over a thousand years her worship was in Latin, a language incomprehensible to her congregants. And whereas Babylonian rule and religion is enforced by a rigid liturgy of "vain repetitions" (Matthew 6:7), we found liberty in Christ through the exercise of our free moral agency and the leading of faith.
The name Babel denotes the world city whence men became dispersed into nations whereas the name Jerusalem denotes the City of God, where men are brought back together heart and soul as one family in Christ. Soon the world city will "plant its palatial tents between the seas in the glorious holy mountain" in Jerusalem, "which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified," and cover it with her abominations (Daniel 11:45; 9:27; Revelation 11:8). Worldwide, the Judaeo-Roman church and its US image to Imperial Rome will kill all who refuse to take its mark in their forehead by receiving her trinitarian doctrine, or in the right hand signifying servitude (Revelation 13:15-18). Thus she will martyr the two Hebrew prophets and their 144,000 elect Israelite converts (Revelation 11:7-12).
Brother Branham said, "The church has not recognized her day. Like Israel back in her promised land. She don't know how she got back there. She was just automatically put back there. Why? National force put her in her place.
Now, I'm going to say something. National force put Israel in her homeland. National force will put the church in the World Council of Churches. But the power of God will put the people in the Bride. The world forces this way, and the world forces that way, but God forces upward, the Spirit of God, which is the Word of God. "My Word is Spirit and Life" will put the Bride in her place. 'Cause she'll recognize her position in the Word, then she's in Christ, will put her in her place. No national force will do it. But the national force did drive Israel to the homeland. The national forces of the Council of Churches will drive every organization into it, but the power of God will raise the Bride into glory, out of it.
Oh, people, recognize your day, as Jesus warned you, the sign of Sodom [Hebrews 4:12], and the church's conditions of this day" (Recognizing Your Day and its Message, p. 34:192-193).
God is a separator: at Babel He once again destroyed the carnal unity of the three kinds of believers and the physical Serpent's seed to bring to pass His long term plan of redemption. In chronological order certain events of Genesis 11 precede the record of Genesis 10 although the prophecy of their eventual homelands may well have been revealed along with the destination allocated to Shem [i.e. name] as the potential hub of humanity. Clearly the emigration had begun well before construction of Babel's tower and it is inconceivable that Noah, who died just two years before the birth of Abram, and Shem, the 'name' and preserver of the holy tongue, whom Abraham outlived by just 27 years, and in "whose tents" God had promised to "dwell," should have participated even by their presence in the unholy atmosphere of narcissistic Nimrod's rebellion against God in his attempt to make a 'name' for himself and the god of forces.
Joktan and the Semitic Arabs had doubtless emigrated, and the nobler sons of Ham, the founder of the Egyptian monarchy and the Cushite Arabs had in all probability gone to their respective settlements. It is noteworthy that the Canaanites occupied Palestine before Shem and antecedent in time to the confusion of tongues, perhaps expressing the "enmity" God had set between them and Adam's race, Ham and his son Canaan being particularly zealous to hinder Noah's prophecy: "Cursed is Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren. Blessed is the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God will enlarge Japheth, and he will dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan will be his servant" (Genesis 9:25-27). Thus the races of Ham and Canaan may have engaged with special zeal in this tower-building "to make us a name [Shem]" for the purpose of weakening this prophecy. Moses called post-diluvian Serpent's seed "men of renown [Shem or name]" (Genesis 6:4). The Bible and profane history bear record to the fact Canaan's descendants have made themselves a "Shem" by usurping the name of their sworn enemy, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. As Jacob deceived his father to steal Esau's blessing, they have deceived the world in their determination to steal back the birthright Esau sold to Jacob. They impersonate themselves as Shemites which they are not, style themselves 'Jews' when scarcely any reside in Judea or observe Yahwism; and call themselves 'Israelis,' never Israelites or Hebrews which they are not. Yet they rule modern Israel and the world according to the prophecy of Isaac (Genesis 27:39-41).
"Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew" (1980 Jewish Almanac, "A Brief History of the Terms for Jew," p. 3).
Today, to trace anyone's descent to ancient Palestine would be a genealogical impossibility. The Jewish racial myth flows from the fact that the words 'Hebrew,' 'Israelite,' 'Jew,' 'Judaism,' and the 'Jewish people' have been used synonymously to suggest a historic continuity, but this is a gross misuse. The descriptive name Judaism was never heard by the Hebrews or Israelites; it appears only within modern Christianity. The English abbreviation, 'Jew,' is recent and does not correspond to anything denoted by the Aramaic, Greek or Roman terms for 'Judahite' or 'Judean,' which were in use during the lifetime of Jesus. According to Reporting Guidelines for the Australian Press Council, General Press Release No. 49 (issued June 1982) with reference to the word "Race" as applied to Jews: "The Press Council wishes to alert editors to a common mistake. There is no "Jewish race." Judaism is not a race but a religion. There are Caucasian Jews, Mongolian Jews, Oriental Jews, Semitic Jews, and so on—terms defining both racial origin and religion. The Council asks all editors and sub-editors to watch for this error. . ."
During Christ's lifetime, no persons were described as "Jews" anywhere. This very important FACT is supported by sound theology, suppressed historical truth and science. When Jesus was in Judea, it was not the "homeland" of the ancestors of those who today style themselves as "Jews," their ancestors never set-foot anywhere near Judea. They existed at that time in Asia, their true "homeland," and were known as Chazars, or Turkish Mongols. Douglas Reed, in his superbly researched classic, "Controversy of Zion," writes: "No authority, Judaist or other, would support the claim to blood decent from Judah for the so-called Jews of today" (p. 11). In fact, the Palestinians would have more claim to the racial description, 'Semite,' than any within modern Jewry who are of Eastern-European stock and trace their lineage back to the ancient Asiatic kingdom of the Chazar".
"Here's a paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox: and anthropological fact, many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors" (Alfred M. Lilienthal, "What Price Israel").
The interruption to the construction of the Tower of Babel established the limit to the history of the primitive time which reached its fruitless climax as man sought to make a name for himself instead of presenting himself a living sacrifice to glorify God. It was the genesis of the history of the human striving after a false outward unity following the dispersion of the formerly unified human race imposed upon it by the confounding of tongues and the division of families into nations. This is also the boundary between the primeval heathen religion transplanted from the antediluvian world by Ham and Cush, and faith in the Promise, as presented in the genealogies. Thus Romans 4 and Galatians 3 identify the beginning of the Covenant religion with the Gentile Abraham, and Christians are not called sons of Jacob or Israel after the flesh who rejected God's promise to Abraham and are "blinded in part until the last Gentile is baptized into Christ" (Romans 11:25); we are Spiritual Israel—sons of Abraham by the baptism of the Holy Spirit through the righteousness of faith in the present Truth (Galatians 3:26-29).
Following the account of the division of tongues Genesis 11:10 says: "These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood." This genealogy of the Shemites is a continuation of the genealogy of the Sethites in Genesis 5. It introduces us to Abram to whom God said, "Leave your country, and your kindred, and your father's house for a land that I will show you. And I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name famous; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you. Also in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." Abram was a native of Ur of the Chaldees; in Newsletter 488 we discovered that Ur, Babel and Haran (meaning 'a mountaineer') were in Northern Mesopotamia which is modern Turkey, as shown on this map, and not in Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon which is Southern Mesopotamia, and according to Acts 7:2-4, God called Abram at Ur, the proper home of the Chaldeans at the headwaters of the Tigris, before he moved to Haran. (Click map to enlarge image).
Taking Genesis 10 and 11 together, we must conclude that at least one line of the sons of Shem, that of Arphaxad the ancestor of the Chaldeans and father of Eber, the more direct progenitor of the Hebrews, remained in the upper country of the Tigris and Euphrates. (As an aside, it is of interest at this particular time in our history to note that the Chaldeans were Moon worshippers, and that on its monuments Ur is called Hur, meaning 'Moon goddess.' According to Joshua 24:2, Abram's father Terah "served other gods," and today the cult of the Moon god is spreading throughout the apostate once Christian world of Abraham's Seed, Jesus Messiah).
So God defeated the attempt to counteract His will that men should disperse systematically, by confounding the tongues of the builders of the intended central metropolis of the world. Once again He called one man of faith in the line of Seth through Shem and his family of make-believers and unbelievers of common Hebrew tongue to be the father of faith "in whom all the [Adamic] families of the earth shall be blessed." The Book of Hebrews says Abram and his companions obeyed and went out, not knowing where they were going. This is the same kind of call that in essence comes to every Christian believer, especially today in response to Brother Branham's Message, which is the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 that is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 confirmed by the heavenly "voice" of Revelation 18:4, calling the world's last generation out of Babylon.
No sharp demarcation separates the Japhetic, Hamitic and Shemitic families of languages and grammar, but outward circumstances, position and disposition, all combined, have modified one universal language. As mankind spread there was a continual division into a larger number of nations, which became distinct linguistically as well as ethnically; the essential identity of many words in Semitic and Japhetic (Indo-European) gives a strong presumption of their original unity. Hamitic is so different from both these, it seems so utterly broken up, that Pritchard, and other philologists, have given it, as a whole, the name Allophylian [i.e. an alloy or conglomerate of foreign, that is, non-Japhetic tongues], using it simply as a convenience of nomenclature. There exist, however, marks of affinity that show it to be something more than a mere arbitrarily separated mass. Of the three ethnologic and linguistic lines the Shemitic is the smallest, most unique, both in its matter and form, the most enduring, most easily recognized, and having the least diversity in its several branches (Max Muller, Languages the Seat of War, p. 88, 90; Rawlinson, Herodotus, vol. I, p. 524).
For the past three thousand years the world has owed its progress mainly to the Semitic and Japhetic races. But originally the Hamitic races (of Egypt and Babylon), now so depressed, took the lead in arts, sciences and power. The first steps in alphabetical writing, sculpture, painting and astronomy, history, navigation, agriculture, and weaving, were taken by them. The character of the language of the earliest Babylonian monuments in Southern Mesopotamia, as far back as 2300BC, is remarkably mixed: Turian in structure, Cushite mainly in vocabulary, with Semitic and Aryan elements.
Ethnology and philology as set forth in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 and the record of chapter 11 cannot be comprehended without a clear understanding of the original sin. In regard to the primitive language which preceded the confusion scholars and theologians have expressed the opinion that Hebrew was the language of primitive time and of Paradise, and that it was promulgated after the flood by the race of Eber from whom it takes its name.
"Babel is the original name for Babylon. It means 'confusion.' It was literally started by Cush, the son of Ham, but was brought to a kingdom of power and grandeur under his son, Nimrod, the mighty hunter. Nimrod, according to the Genesis 11 account and also according to profane history, set out to accomplish three things. He wanted to build a strong nation, which he did. He wanted to propagate his own religion, which he did. He wanted to make a name for himself, which he also accomplished. His accomplishments were so monumental that the kingdom of Babylon was called the head of gold amongst all world governments. That his religion gained prominence is proven by the fact that Scripture identifies it with Satan completely in Isaiah 14 and in Revelation 17-18. And by history we can prove that it invaded the whole world and is the basis for every system of idolatry, and the theme of mythology, though the names of the gods differ in various sections of the land according to the language of the people. That he made a name for himself and his followers goes without saying, for as long as this present age goes on (until Jesus reveals Himself to His brethren) he will be worshipped and honored, though under a different name from Nimrod, and in a temple slightly different from the one in which he was originally adored" (William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 182:1).
Nimrod means, 'Come, let us rebel.' The grammatical form of the name shows that it had a popular, rather than a family origin. It was the watchword of an impious leader, afterwards given to him as a title by his applauding followers: "Let us break Jehovah's bands, let us build a tower that shall reach Him in the heavens." It was not the success of his undertaking, but the impious thought, that God meant to confound, and to strike down, whenever it arose in men's minds.
Since the city of Cain man has striven to forcefully establish the outward unity of humanity, crushing diversity of thought and expression—and at the expense of inward unity with God—and Narcissistic Nimrod was intent on building his kingdom in opposition to the Kingdom of God. The division of tongues made a perfect breach of this forced unity. Many boastful God-defying towers of Babel are being erected today. Judaeo-Roman Catholicism and her (once) Protestant daughters being bound for burning in the World Council of Churches (Matthew 13:30, 40; Hebrews 6:8; Revelation 2:20-23; 19:20); the 'City of London' of the Khazar Black Nobility and international banksters; the criminal Judaeo-United Nations, and Judaeo-Communism, along with myriad lesser institutions are striving, like devils in a womb, for forced unity under Lucifer's totalitarian one world government, following the pattern of invasion and suppression established by Nimrod.
The US puppet colony of the City of London and agents provocateurs from their CIA, MI6 and MOSSAD are fomenting and funding civil unrest and rebellion in one Muslim nation after another, then invading and conquering them on "humanitarian" grounds one after another in the strategy of Nimrod and Judaeo-Communist Soviet Russia. This undeclared World War III is of a different kind to previous wars, wherein the aggressors with absolutely overwhelming military power meet feeble, if any, opposition and destroy successive nations, eliminating the potential allies of their ultimate targets, Iran, Russia and China in this war planned in 1871 between political Zionism and political Islam. Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah and the Book of Revelation prophesied the outcome thousands of years ago:
"As the Western elite gathered at the annual Bilderberg meeting in St. Moritz, the major rivals to empire met at last week's 10th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in the Kazakh capital Astana, led by Russia and China trying to fashion an alternative to US hegemony.
The SCO is the only major international organisation that has neither the US nor any close US ally among its members, and its influence is growing across Eurasia. Leaders of member states Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were joined by leaders from observers Iran, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and Mongolia. Belarus and Sri Lanka have been admitted as dialogue partners, and prior to his arrival, Chinese President Hu Jintao visited Ukraine.
The Astana Declaration stressed the goal of combating "terrorism, extremism, and separatism." The summit called for a "neutral" Afghanistan (i.e. no permanent US bases), supported by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, even as the US is actively discussing a post-2014 strategic partnership agreement with him. The prospect of permanent US military bases in Afghanistan lies at the core of current US-Pakistan tensions. India has indicated its aversion to "new cold war" tensions appearing in the region.
Russia and China fear the US plan is to establish permanent bases in Afghanistan and to deploy components of its missile defense system. The SCO meeting supported Russian criticisms of the planned NATO missile de fence shield underway in Europe" (globalresearch.ca; Revelation 16:13-16).
Our Hegelian controlled party political sham democratic systems force an outward unity that creates a suppressed inward frustration without representation. Multiculturalism is a repetition of the unnatural unity of the days of Noah which Jesus prophesied for this day (Matthew 24:37). It is a global repetition of the original sin and accursed of God. Multiculturalism is being imposed on the world by the City of London as its warlords and magnates in their quest to monopolize the stolen natural resources of third world nations displace dispossessed millions, then deployed to divide and conquer first world nations, relocated as inassimilable refugees in colonies in the manner of the ancient Assyrians. So-called "Free" trade and carbon taxation are further examples of enforced unity.
There is a unity of God that commences inwardly as a work of grace through faith in the present Truth by the exercise of individual free choice which is the sovereign gift of God to everyone. This unity is not geographic but the Spiritual agreement with the Logos or revealed mind of God wherein we live under pre-eminence so that our lives become written epistles of the Word for this hour, known and read by all men that His Name may be seen and glorified in us.
This study was motivated by an article on the first language contributed by our friend archaeologist Brother Jonathan Gray. I coded it for the Newsletter several weeks ago but hesitated to publish and wrote "I cannot see how Hebrew could possibly be the earliest language. At the time of Babel, the earth was of one language, which would have been brought through the ark from the antediluvian people, and it is probable this was the language of Abraham and his predecessors, who were Babylonians. And it was definitely not Hebrew.
I think you might be on safer ground were you to switch from "language" to "script," because there appears to be a link between the ancient scripts as Rex Gilroy's discoveries in Australia seem to indicate. Yet Hebrew script can hardly be described as having an especially long history".
Jonathan replied, "Since receiving your email I have spent several days going carefully through the articles [of the two scholars you sent]—both of which were extremely interesting—as well as files of related matter on the subject of the origin of the Hebrew language. As a result I have put together a 16-page critique of both their works as it relates to our topic. Please find it attached. With respect, both men demonstrated flaws as well as strengths. You should find my overall conclusion of interest, and I am pleased with whatever decision you choose to make concerning this".
Based on Jonathan's research and the above investigation I stand corrected, I defer to my Brother and thank the Lord for correction. Lord willing we will share Brother Jonathan's research with you in our next Newsletter. nl691.htm
