Thank you for keeping me on your mailing list as I enjoy reading the “Prophetic Observer,” although I don’t necessarily agree with some of them; yet they are interesting, and whoever writes them obviously does a lot of thinking about the subject being presented. I present this letter in the manner of one Christian Pastor to Another and in Brotherly love. I realize it is much longer than most people like, and most will not even read it; but I respectfully request that you do because I do, indeed, respect you for your stand on many things against odds and powers that many have never experienced. This is not directly written AT you but to you and is for information purposes only, and I hope you receive it in that manner.

But I make no apologies that I believe that: Te preachers of today are cowards. They are afriad to speak the truth so they lie every Sunday Morning and Night. They cowardly hide behind such staements as; "He/She is a radical" "A Right-Wing Fanatic" "A Neo-nazi" "An Anti-Semitic" or some other such stupid nonsense because they are afraid to relate the truth to their congregations because of their fear of the Jews.

In reading you “A Message from the Pastor” dated August 1999, T-030 in which you made reference to two things that I would like to discuss with you.

2). The event in Louisville, Kentucky and only had eight people to show up in a room that would seat 2000 people.

In this regard I will take the second one first; that of the few people in attendance.

2). I believe from some of your writings over the years that you know the Israel Truth, that being that the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and kindred people of the world are the True Descendants of the ancient Tribes of Israel. Now I realize that you may not think of it along those lines but the fact is that the Bible speaks only to God’s people — Israel and to no others, except where those other people come into contact with the Children of Israel.

And not to the Jews who are mostly the descendants of the Khazar Tribes of Eastern Russia and Western Mongolia which is proven by the following books, among many others:

The Bible relates that the Khazar (Ashkenaz) Jews were/are the sons of Japheth not Shem: "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth;...the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz..." [1] Therefore, the Bible proves that the Ashkenaz Jews [Khazars] are not the descendants of Shem and cannot be Semite.

The Outline of History. H. G. Wells, "It is highly probable that the bulk of the Jew's ancestors 'never' lived in Palestine 'at all,' which witnesses the power of historical assertion over fact."

So, the fact of a very light attendance, is not surprising in this day and time. As the Scriptures clearly show that the Sun (Jacob), Moon (Rachel) and Stars (The Tribes of Israel) would cease their shining, or in other words they would be replaced as the leaders of the Christian (Israelite) Nations of the earth at some point in time. Which is related in Genesis 37:9‑10: “And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE ELEVEN STARS made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I (Jacob) and thy mother (Rachel) and thy brethren (the Tribes of Israel) indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?”

These are but allegories which is used extensively in the Bible for various people. An example would be the following: Places in Scriptures where men are described as trees are as follows: Leviticus 26:4, 20; Deuteronomy 28:40, 42; Judges 9:8‑15; 1 Kings 4:33; 2 King 3:25; 1 Chronicles 16:33; Psalm 96:2; Isaiah 7:2; 10:18; 14:8; 55:12; 61:3; Ezekiel 17:24; 31; Hosea 2:12; Joel 1:12; Zechariah 1:8; 4:4‑12; Matthew 3:10; 8:24; Luke 3:9; 21:29; Jude 11:12; Revelation 7:3; 11:4. Herod is described as a Fox and the sayings, writings of the Jews are described as Levin (Matthew 16:6; 16:11-12; Mark 8:15, Luke 12:1 and the Leaven of Herod in Mark 8:15).

Now most people, who call themselves Christians, are looking forward to the coming of Christ. But I suspect that very many of these self-styled Christians are going to be much like those who told Christ in Matthew 7:22‑23: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (KJV)

These people, which I believe are those who “claim” to be Christians say that they have “prophesied in Christ’s name; cast out devils in His name; and in His name done many wonderful works.”Christ did not deny they had done these things but yet He told them “Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Declaring, in effect, that even though they claimed to be disciples and followers of Christ they were not, because they did not do the works of Christ which is proof of the Love of Him. For in John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (KJV)

You will agree, I am sure, that most of those who call themselves Christian in America today do no love Christ because they do no follow His Laws. They, in fact, declare that the Laws of God have been put away, which cannot be further from the truth. For it is only by His laws that we know sin, and if we did not know His laws then we would have no sin. We are told this is true in I John 3:4: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” (KJV) Therefore, those who teach that the Laws of God have been done away with are lairs and will be condemned on the day of judgment.

Now there is no doubt that these people had much faith, like the Canaanite woman whose child was sick, and was healed because of her great faith. Christ did not heal the child but the faith the woman had did it, much like those above who cast out devils, prophesied and did many wonderful things in the name of Christ.

Well I will stop that now and go on to a study on the Last Days. I hope you enjoy it.

"These are the last days" cries a radio preacher who calls himself a prophet of God; so read numerous newsletters and religious publications; so teaches the television evangelist with a book on prophecy for sale; so say and think concerned citizens throughout the land. So has it been said for 2000 years!

As the Scriptures say, there is nothing new under the sun and so it is with men and their last days theology. Gary DeMar in his book "Last Days Madness," which shows the list of such men is long and dated, going back as early as the second and third centuries. For example, there was Montanus, a self appointed prophet of God predicting the end.

"In the third century, a prophet called Novatian gathered a huge following by crying, 'Come, Lord Jesus!'”Donatus, a fourth-century prophet, commanded attention when he stressed that only 144,000 people would be chosen by God. He found this magic figure in Revelation 14:1 (a verse which the Jehovah's Witnesses use to proclaim their own version of his heresy). Both Novatian and Donatus were branded as heretics by the Church. (The Sky is Falling, in Future, John C. Souter, Wheaton, IL, Tyndale 1984)

Martin Luther wrote in 1532: "The last days is at hand. My calendar has run out. I know nothing more in my Scriptures." (Misreading the Signs of the Times, Mark Noll; Christianity Today (February 6, 1987), pp. 10-11; Also see Mark U. Edwards, Jr., Apocalyptic Expectations: The Scourge of God, in Luther's Last Battles: Politics and Polemics, 1531-46 (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1983) pp. 97-114) As the year 1000 A.D. drew near, the old St. Peter's basilica was thronged with weeping, trembling masses awaiting the end of the world. Then there was a similar conviction in 1100, 1200 and 1245. "In 1531, Melchior Hofmann announced that the second coming would take place in the year 1533...Nicholas Casa held that the world would not last past 1734." (The Sky is Falling, in Future, John C. Souter, Wheaton, IL, Tyndale, 1984)

The list of present day "last days proclaimers," if properly researched and compiled, would probably be staggering. Here are just a few: Edgar C. Whisent put out a book, "88 Reasons Why the Rapture is in 1988." In 1992, Charles R. Taylor in "Bible Prophecy News" said: "What are you starting to read probably is my final issue of Bible Prophecy News, for Bible prophecy fulfillment indicates that Jesus Christ our Lord will most likely return for us at the Rapture of the Church before the fall of 1992 issue can be printed."

"1994?" was a writing by Harold Camping predicting Jesus would return sometime in the fall of 1994. David Allen Lewish wrote a book "Prophecy 2000: Rushing to Armageddon." Dave Hunt wrote "Peace and the Rise of Antichrist." Also, let's not forget Hal Lindsey's most profitable book "The Late Great Planet Earth" with a sale of 25,000,000 copies.

But What Does the Bible Teach Concerning the Last Days?: If that question was properly answered, the last days proclaimers wouldn't sell many books or reap much in donations to stay on the airwaves. Last Days existed 2000 years ago, according to the Bible. Consider the words of Hebrews 1:1-2: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son..." (KJV)

Following are some Bible questions for you. According to Hebrews 1:1-2, the writer of Hebrews considered the last days to be:

c). Impossible to understand and predict without reading a book on prophecy or hearing a self proclaimed prophet.

Let's consider another Bible passage: "But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them; 'Men of Judea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words. For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day; but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel; 'And it shall be in the last days, God says, That I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions And your old men shall dream dreams...'" (Acts 2:14-17, NASV)

Now, let's have another Bible test question. According to Acts 2:14-17, the apostle Peter considered the very day he spoke to be those days that Joel had prophesied of and called last days.

The correct answers to these two questions are self evident just as it's self evident these two Scriptural passages teach the last days existed nearly 2000 years ago! 2 Timothy 3:1 reads: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." (KJV) 2 Peter 3:3 also seems to indicate the last days as something in the future: "knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts." (KJV) How can it be that last days existed at the time of the writing of Hebrews 1:1-2, and Acts 2:17 and yet also be days yet to come in the future? The answer to that comes in understanding the Bible meaning of last days.

As a rule, when men use the term last days, they think in terms of the end of the world. Billy Graham, for example, wrote: "If you look in any direction, whether it is technological or physiological, the world as we know it is coming to an end. Scientists predict it, sociologists talk about it. Whether you go to the Soviet Union or anywhere in the world, they are talking about it. The world is living in a state of shock." (The Return, Mike Evans, Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 1986, p. 122)

The Bible term, "last days," does not carry this meaning. That is why the last days could be at one time and then another. To prove that the Bible meaning of last days is not the end of the world, let's look at how the term is used in an Old Testament Bible passage, Ezekiel chapter 38. It's a controversial passage dealing with the invasion by Gog. We'll not deal with the who, what, where, why of the invasion or if it's already happened, but with the when. Verse 16 tells us when. "It will come about in the last days that I shall bring you against my land." So then what happens? Does the world end?

Reading in chapter 38 & 39 concerning that invasion and conflict, one learns how it concludes and that the world continues on. Verse 22 of Ezekiel 39 says "And the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God from that day onward." Note the words "from that day onward," showing us the world did not end in the last days of Ezekiel 38.

Once one understands that the Bible term, last days does not mean the end of the world, that the last days existed nearly 2000 years ago, and would exist some time in the future, then one can move on to another important Bible truth concerning last days.

There Are More Than One Last Days: In other words, there have been last days and there will be last days. If the phrase "last days" does not mean the end of the world, then what does it mean the end of? How about the end of an era or age! Hebrews 6:5 speaks of an "age to come." If an age is to come, then that means an age will end prior to the coming of a new age; so there would be last days of an age! 1 Corinthians 10:11 says, "Now these things happened unto them by way of example and they were written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the ages are come." (NASV)

The King James Version uses the word "world" instead of "ages." "Upon whom the ends of the world are come." The Greek word is "aion" and according to "Holman's Exhaustive Concordance," means "continued duration, a space of time, an age." This passage clearly teaches there are ages and the end of ages had come upon those people living in Corinth, 2000 years ago. It's unfortunate that this word is usually translated as world in the King James translation as in most instances it is far more accurate to translate it as "age."

Take for example Hebrews 9:26. The King James says: "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." The New American Standard says, "...but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." Young's Literal Translation says, "...at the full end of the ages..."

Noah lived in the last days, i.e., the end of an age. They were last days for people to repent and be saved from destruction. Last days of an age wherein wickedness and sin had culminated.

Moses lived in the last days: or in an end of an age. We have heard the phrase "last days of the Roman Empire." Well Moses lived in the last days of Pharaoh's Egyptian Empire. They were the last days for innumerable first born male children.

The apostles and their disciples lived in the last days: Just as Peter stated in Acts 2:16-17. Days just prior to the destruction of Jerusalem which ended the age of the old Levitical Priesthood and temple sacrifices. It was not only the end of an age but the "consummation of the ages." (Hebrews 9:26, NASV)

Many New Testament Scriptures pertain to the end of that age or the last days that existed 2000 years ago. John the Baptist warned the establishment of his day (Pharisees and Sadducees) of the end by saying, "And the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire." (Matthew 3:10, NASV)

A Most Important Point Concerning Last Days: So far, you have read some very important truths concerning the subject of last days. Let's briefly summarize them.

1). Men have been crying out and warning that we are in the last days for nearly 2000 years.

2). Last days existed 2000 years ago and were to exist in the future. How can this be? Because...

These are important truths to understand but more important is this: PEOPLE SURVIVED THE LAST DAYS. You see not only did Noah live in the last days, but he lived beyond them as well. Moses and his people lived in the last days and beyond. The apostle's and the disciples lived in the last days and beyond. These people were not just SURVIVORS but OVERCOMERS and CONQUERORS! People of faith and hope.

In fact there will be people living outside of Christ’s Kingdom after it is set up and functioning. For in Revelation 22:14‑15 we find: “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. FOR WITHOUT ARE DOGS, and SORCERERS, and WHOREMONGERS, and MURDERERS, and IDOLATERS, and WHOSOEVER LOVETH and MAKETH A LIE.” (KJV)

The damnable consequence of this false modern day, (Jew)deo-Christian LAST DAYS THEOLOGY is it conquers and defeats the Christian soldiers who, themselves, should be more than conquerors. Victors taking dominion, overcoming the world through faith, hope, and love. It causes people to wring their hands in despair, believing things will get progressively worse in almost every area of life until Jesus returns with His angels.

One writer described the effect as, "Preoccupation with the end can act as a cultural sedative, leaving the world to its own inescapable eschatological certainties, giving man little impetus to effect change beyond his own isolated individualistic world. While society collapses, the population grows in its despair and joins 'the cult of expanded consciousness, health and personal 'growth' so prevalent today.' If the end is perceived as just around the corner, then why bother? 'Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die." (Last Days Madness, Gary DeMar, Atlanta, Georgia: American Vision, Inc., p. 9)

The Most Important Point Concerning Last Days: The most important point concerning the "last days" is how not to let them be your's or your family's last days. In other words, how to survive, overcome and be victorious.

Therefore, it is quite possible that we could have another 20, 000 to 40,000 years before the return of Christ.

Deuteronomy 7:9: “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.”

1 Chronicles 16:15‑17: “Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant.” (KJV)

Psalm 105:7‑10: “He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant.” (KJV)

Never do you hear any preacher teach on these verses and if they even touch upon them it will be very lightly done and never will they explain that these 1000 generations could possibly be 20,000 or even 40,000 years in length. They will simply fall back and say that this means 1000 different people, thus using generations as different races; and this is Biblically incorrect.

I am not saying that there will be 20,000 or 40,000 years before Christ’s return, but I am putting forth the possibility that there certainly could be and that it would be Biblical to entertain such an idea.

The Judeo-Christian preachers, ministers, priests, teachers, evangelists and etc., do not teach on these verses much the same as they would rather die than teach that the trees in the Garden of Eden or Garden of God were people and not trees. They would rather teach the lie that that the tree of good and evil were just that — trees and not the truth that they were people, which God had made in Genesis One and BEFRE He “FORMED” Adam from the dust of the ground. And to prove what I am saying, in case you have not thought about it before, review the following study that I have put together:

Our people have been taught for over 100 years that Adam and Eve ate an apple or some sort of fruit from the tree of good and evil which was in the midst of the Garden of Eden. That Adam and Eve were the father and mother of all the various races, yet the Bible proves they are lying through their teeth.

It is very possible that many of them believe that story themselves, because that was what they were taught; however there are a very large number of Judeo‑Christian Preachers today who know that is false, but will not teach the truth because they are wolves in sheeps' clothing, teaching that Christ is Christ but are working secretly to destroy the Word of God; to destroy the knowledge of Christ, Christianity from the people and to destroy Christians at some future date, under laws which have been secretly passed which will allow THE EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA! Laws such as Public Law 102‑14.

But the truth of the matter is that the trees spoken of in the Garden of Eden were PEOPLE! not trees such as the Pear, Apple, Orange, Pecan and etc. They were people.

Right about now you are thinking; "All right smart aliec prove it." So we will attempt to do so. Although we do so with the full knowledge that no one can be convinced of anything if they do not wish to accept facts when they are given. For example, there was a man in Dallas about 25 years ago who said he would give anyone $1‑million dollars if they could prove to him that the moon was not made out of green cheese. Well many tried, they took him books, papers, pictures and even some rocks that came from the surface of the moon; but no one could ever convince him that the moon was not made of green cheese because he would not accept anything they presented. So he never had to pay the $1‑million to anyone.

Please turn with us to the book of Ezekiel; to chapter 31 where we read: "And it came to pass...that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar (a tree) in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees (people) of the field. Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees (people) of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations (countries). Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches; for his foot was by great waters. (Now we change and go to the Garden of Eden) The cedars (people) in the GARDEN OF GOD could not hide him: the fir trees (people) were not like his boughs (See the comparison, thus we know that there were other people there to compare with him), and the chestnut trees (their children ‑ or people) were not like his branches (his children ‑ or people); NOR ANY TREE IN THE GARDEN OF GOD was like unto him in his beauty (See we know the trees in the Garden were people because they were not like the Assyrian in beauty ‑ because they were of a different color, they were not White. That is not racist it is simply a fact, even if you don't like it. For God has never cared what we like or don't like when He speaks, we either accept it or reject it to our hurt). I have made him fair (White) by the multitude of his branches: so that ALL THE TREES (people) OF EDEN; THAT WERE IN THE GARDEN OF GOD, ENVIED HIM (trees cannot envy each other, only people can do that). Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart (trees do not have hearts) lifted up in his height; I have therefore delivered him (Now God is speaking of Adam) into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen: he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out (Driven Adam out of the Garden of Eden, because of his disobedience to Amighty God) for his wickedness. And strangers (people of other races), the terrible of the nations, have cut him off and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches (See he is again comparing him with a tree) are fallen by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him (Here is were the departing of the various races left the Garden of God ‑ The Garden of Eden and were scattered all across the earth, away from Adam and his people. Thus God segregated the races from each other, so they could not mix; which is against God's Law of Kind after Kind). Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches (Here God is saying that Adam's children would always be attracted to the black race ‑ The Beast of the Earth. Also, God says that He will give the Children of Israel to the beasts at some point in time {Jeremiah 31:27} which is just further proof that the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and kindred people are Israel, because no other people have this prophecy about them; and with all of the mixed race marriages taking place in America today, one cannot deny that this mixing is taking place. A mixing which is an abomination to Almighty God); To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death (All mankind will die because of Adam's sin), to the nether parts of the earth (In other words all people everywhere, no matter what race would die in their time), in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit (grave). Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when he (Adam) went down to the grave (pit) I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees (people) of the field fainted (Here again trees do not faint, only people do that) for him. I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall (When Adam fell all the various races and nations on earth knew of his fall and shook with fear and sadness), when I cast him down to hell (the grave) with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden (people), the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted (Here again trees cannot be comforted) in the neither parts of the earth. They also went down into hell (the grave) with him unto them that be slain with the sword (In other words everyone will die and go to the grave); and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen (Here we are told that the trees of the Garden were people of other races, other than Adam who was a White Man, like it or not, love it or not). To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees (people) of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees (people) of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. (Now God goes back to Pharaoh whom He is comparing Adam and the Assyrians with) This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God." (Ezekiel 31)

We know that the Pharaoh did not go into the Garden of Eden, because there were no such thing as Pharaoh until about a thousand years later.

Now knowning how most people respond to a message they don’t like or agree with, I am sure you made special note of where I said Christians would be subject to the death penalty because of Public Law 102-14, therefore I will add it to this letter.

105 STAT. 44 Public Law 102‑14 ‑‑ March 20, 1991 Joint Resolution To designate March 26, 1991, as "Education Day, U.S.A."

Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded;

Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws;

Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning chaos;

Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and threaten the fabric of civilized society;

Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;

Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty‑ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991;

Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, "the rebbe," this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of "education and giving," the year in which we turn to education charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and

Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that March 26, 1991, the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader of the world‑wide Lubavitch Movement, is designated as "Education Day, U.S.A." (This is just like the deception the Jews rely on to deceive Christians and non-Jews, for which they have been doing for thousands of years) The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. (Approved March 20, 1991)

It is apparent that the "Seven Noahide Laws" are the real purpose of the Resolution and Public Law 102‑14. The Seven Noahide Laws themselves were not included in the Resolution nor in the Law itself, AND FOR GOOD REASON.

Since they are not commonly known to the average citizen, we should endeavor to learn what they are; and more about the so‑called "Rebbe" Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Lubavitch Movement; and what effect, if any, these laws will have upon Christian Americans in general. Particularly now that we have a NEW "law of the land."

They are not easy to find, but some encyclopedias mention them briefly. NOAHIDE LAWS, also called NOACHIAN LAWS, A Jewish Talmudic designation for seven [so‑called] Biblical laws given to Adam and to Noah before the revelation to Moses on Mt. Sinai and consequently on all mankind [THERE IS NO BIBLICAL PROOF FOR THIS STATEMENT].

Beginning with Genesis 2:16, the Babylonian Talmud [supposedly] listed the first six commandments as prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, and robbery and the positive command TO ESTABLISH COURTS OF JUSTICE (with all that this implies). After the flood a seventh commandment given to Noah, forbade the eating of flesh cut from a living animal (Genesis 9:4).

Though the number of laws was later increased to 30 with the addition of prohibitions against castration, sorcery, and other practices, the 'seven laws,' with minor variations, retained their original status as authoritative commandments and as the source of other laws.

As basic statutes safe‑guarding monotheism and guaranteeing proper ethical conduct in society, THESE LAWS PROVIDED A LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR ALIEN RESIDENTS IN JEWISH TERRITORY [When did the United States become Jewish territory?]. Maimonides thus regarded anyone who observed these laws as one 'assured of a portion in the world to come.'

Throughout the ages scholars have viewed the Noahide Laws as a link between Judaism and Christianity [Which is totally false. Judaism and Christianity are total opposites and are deadly enemies], as universal norms of ethical conduct, AS A BASIC CONCEPT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW, or as a guarantee of fundamental human rights for all.

"The current expression 'Judeo-Christian' is an error which has altered the course of universal history by the confusion it has sown in men's mind, if by it one is meant to understand the Jewish origin of Christianity; for by abolishing the fundamental distinctions between Jewish and Christian messianism, IT SEEKS TO BRING TOGETHER TWO IDEAS THAT ARE RADICALLY IN OPPOSITION. By laying the accent exclusively on the 'Christian' idea to the detriment of the 'Judean' it conjures away monotheistic messianism - a valuable discipline at all levels of thought, and reduces it to a purely confessional messianism, preoccupied like Christian messianism with the salvation of the individual soul. If the term 'Judeo-Christian' does point to a common origin, there is no doubt that it is a most dangerous idea.

It is based on a 'contrdictio in adjecto' which has set the path of history on the wrong track. It links in one breath TWO IDEAS WHICH ARE COMPLETELY IRRECONCILABLE, IT SEEKS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT OR HOT AND COLD OR BLACK AND WHITE, and thus introduces a fatal element of confusion to a basis on which some, nevertheless, are endeavoring to construct a civilization. Christianity offers to the world a limited messianism which it wishes to impose as the only valid one ...Even Spinoza, who was further than any other thinker from the historic messianism of Israel, wrote: 'As for what certain churches say, that God assumed human nature, I must confess that this seems to me as absurd as saying that a circle assumed the shape of a square...'

The dogmatic exclusiveness professed by Christianity must finally end...It is the obstinate Christian claim to be the sole heir to Israel which propagates-anti-Semitism. This scandal must terminate sooner or later; the sooner it goes, the sooner the world will be rid of the issue of lies in which anti-Semitism shrouds itself." (Joshua Jehouda, l'Antisemitisme Miroir du Monde, pp. 135-136; Judaism and the Vatican, Vicomte Leon de Poncins, pp. 30-31)

The Jewish Encyclopedia describes Christianity as a religion espousing "ascetic monasticism," which means believing in a life of sacrifice and-self-denial in order to help others. However, IT DESCRIBES JUDAISM AS TEACHING THE EXACT OPPOSITE {of Christianity} in that "life is good and should be endowed with material worth" {or riches}.

Also, while Christianity believes in forgiving ones enemies and even loving them, the motto of Judaism is - "Never Forgive - Never Forget." Thus the "Judeo-Christian" ethic spoken of by Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggert, Kenneth Copel, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts and most other misled ministers is a false religion.

Note that "The Jewish Voice" ridicules it but suggest that if Christians want to subject themselves to Jewry they may do so. However, the idea of a "Judeo-Christian" faith is alien to Jewry and rejected by them.

"Judeo-Christian tradition' is a term increasingly employed to achieve a closer identification between Judaism and Christianity and may seem a most ungracious act to decline, with thanks, this invitation is a NEW 'acceptance.' It is called for that we who are Jews be wary of this new affection. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY...the 'other-world' philosophy which served as an excuse for tolerating inequities and ignorance in this world; THE HEAVY STRESS ON A SAVIOR...ALL OF THESE PHILOSOPHIES ARE ALIEN TO JUDAISM, but make up a vast part of that Christianity which is today REJECTED BY ASIA AND AFRICA. LET US NOT BE SO STUPID AS TO GET INTER-TWINED WITH THIS REJECTED WAY OF LIFE...." (The Jewish Voice, Friday, August 4, 1961, Awakening, by Rabbi Jacob Steinberg)

The following is a summary of the Seven Noahide Laws. (Institute of Judaic-Christian Researcher, Jan. 1992; The Talmud, Sanh. 56a-59b; Yad Melakhim 8:10, 9, 10)

3). Thou shalt not shed innocent blood of any human nor fetus nor ailing person who has a limited time to live.

4). Thou shalt not engage in bestial, incestuous, adulterous or homosexual relations nor commit the act of rape.

6). Thou shalt ESTABLISH LAWS AND COURTS OF LAW TO ADMINISTER [enforce] THESE LAWS, INCLUDING THE DEATH PENALTY.

As we make a cursory examination of the "Seven Noahide Laws" one would see nothing objectionable. In fact, one would applaud any effort to remove the evil from among us; because that is what the Laws, Statutes and Judgments of God directs us to do. But there is more, much more, to these laws than first meets the eye!

The Jews say these "Seven Laws of Noah" known as the "Noahide Laws" or "Noachian Laws," (actually there are only six laws with one provision for enforcement which makes up the "Seven Noahide Laws").

So, how does the resolution passed by Congress relate to these laws? The United States is considered by many Jews as "THEIR" stronghold and "THEIR" headquarters for eventual world domination.

In a recent article published in "Wellsprings" the head rabbi of Hasidic Jewry stated: "...America has become the focus and fountain-head of Jewish survival. Providence has prepared a new home for Torah and Yiddishkeit in this country...The largest concentration of our best elements are in America. We must lead the smaller Jewish communities in other countries and continents, even in Erety Israel [Israel-Palestine], which must learn heavily on American support for its economic and spiritual survival."

The "Seven Laws of Noah," according to Hasidic Jews, SHOULD BE ENFORCED UPON ALL NON‑JEWS [this means the Blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, Arabs, and etc., as well as Christians] BY THE JEWS THEMSELVES: "...the entire context of the Talmudic discussion of the Noachide Laws is that of actual ENFORCEMENT BY RABBINIC COURTS."

The Jews say these laws were given to Noah by their god for the orderly government of all people, BUT JEWS WERE GIVEN ANOTHER SET OF LAWS at Mount Sinai much later, SO THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE NOAHIDE LAWS but rather to the later ones, except, of course, for those Noahide Laws that were repeated at Sinai. Also the Jews WOULD NOT PAY THE SAME PENALTY FOR VIOLATING THESE LAWS.

The Jewish Encyclopedia, page 649 states: "In the case of murder, if the Noachide slay a child in its mother's womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of ('terefah'), or if he cause the death of a person by starving him or putting him before a lion so that he can not escape, or if he slay a man in self‑defense, THE NOACHIDE IS GUILTY OF MURDER AND MUST PAY THE DEATH PENALTY, ALTHOUGH UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES AN ISRAELITE [Jew] WOULD NOT BE EXECUTED."

According to the Encyclopedia Judaica the death penalty would be: "...violation of any one of the seven laws SUBJECTS THE NOACHIDE TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BY DECAPITATION."

Notice Congress and the President are giving acclamation to a Talmudic Jewish Rabbi called "the rebbe." Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whom the "Current Biography Yearbook 1983" states on page 355: "[Born] April 18, 1902 [Not March 26 as stated in Public Law 102‑14]; leader of Habad (Lubavitch) Hasidim...' As Rebbe, or spiritual head, of the Lubavitch Hasidim, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson is one of the most important figures in American and world Jewry...Hasid and the hasidic community from his own all‑pervasive radiance, attained through his mystic union with God. This union and the ensuing enrichment of his soul are used for the sake of the people, TO LEAD THEM LOVINGLY TO THEIR CREATOR. The zaddik IS A MYSTIC who employs his power within the social community and for its sake. A wonder‑healer and miracle‑worker, in the eyes of his followers HE IS A COMBINATION OF CONFESSOR, MORAL INSTRUCTOR, AND PRACTICAL ADVISER. Also a theoretical teacher and exegetical preacher, with a style of preaching peculiar to zaddikim, he expounds his hasidic torah (Hebrew for the teaching of the zaddimim) at his table (in hasidic parance der tish) surrounded by his followers, generally during the third meal on the Sabbath (se'ndah shelishit). For the individual Hasid, joining the court of his zaddik is both a pilgrimage and a revitalizing unification with the brotherhood gathered at the court, united around and through the zaddik.

The Hasid journeyed to his zaddik's court at least for the High Holidays (although this practice later weakened) to seek his blessing, which was also entreated from afar. He submitted a written account of his problems (known as a kvitl), usually accompanying this with A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION (pidyon, short FOR pidyon nefesh, 'REDEMPTION OF THE SOUL')...

BASIC IDEAS OF HASIDISM: — Creator and Universe. While it is true that many of the basic ideas of Hasidism are grounded in earlier Jewish sources, the Hasidim did produce much that was new if only by emphasis. With few exceptions, hasidic ideas are not presented systematically in the hasidic writings, but an examination of these writings reveals certain patterns common to all the hasidic masters.

Central to hasidic thought is an elaboration of the idea found in the Lurianic Kabbalah, THAT GOD 'WITHDREW FROM HIMSELF INTO HIMSELF' IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE PRIMORDIAL 'EMPTY SPACE' INTO WHICH THE FINITE WORLD COULD EVENTUALLY EMERGE AFTER A LONG PROCESS OF EMANATIONS.

The redemption of the 'holy sparks' was one of the reasons given for hasidic fondness for tobacco. SMOKING A PIPE SERVED TO RELEASE SUBTLE 'SPARKS' NOT OTHERWISE ACCESSIBLE.

JEWISH ZADDIK SAID TO BRING JEWS CLOSER TO THEIR GOD!: Kavannah and Zaddikism. Is this program of sustained contemplation, attachment, and utter devotion to God really possible for all men? The hasidic answer is generally in the negative. This is why the doctrine of zaddikism is so important for Hasidism. The holy man, his thoughts constantly on God, raises the prayers of his followers and all their other thoughts and actions. In the comprehensive work on zaddikism, R. Elimelech of Lyzhansk's No'am Elimelekh, the zaddik appears as a spiritual superman, with the power to work miracles.

HE IS THE CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THE DIVINE GRACE FLOWS, THE MAN TO WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN CONTROL OF THE UNIVERSE BY HIS PRAYERS. THE ZADDIK PERFORMS A DOUBLE TASK: HE BRINGS MAN NEARER TO GOD AND HE BRINGS DOWN GOD'S BOUNTY TO MAN. [In other words, on every hand the so-called Zaddik is trying to replace the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus denying the Word of God] The zaddik must be supported by his followers. This financial assistance is not for the sake of the zaddik but for the sake of those privileged to help him. By supporting the zaddik with their worldly goods his followers become attached to him through his dependence on them, which he readily accepts in his love for them.

JEWISH ZADDIK HAS POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH: Their welfare thus becomes his and his prayers on their behalf can the more readily be answered. THE ZADDIK EVEN HAS POWERS OVER LIFE AND DEATH. GOD MAY HAVE DECREED THAT A PERSON SHOULD DIE BUT THE PRAYERS OF THE ZADDIK CAN NULLIFY THIS DECREE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE ZADDIK'S SOUL IS SO PURE AND ELEVATED THAT IT CAN REACH TO THOSE WORLDS IN WHICH NO DECREE HAS BEEN PROMULGATED SINCE THERE ONLY MERCY REIGNS. But if such powers were evidently denied to the great ones of the past how does the Zaddik come to have them? The rationale is contained in the parable attributed to the Maggid of Mezhirech (No'am Elimelekh to Genesis 37:1).

Rabbi Michael Katz, a well known student of the Talmud, states that it is the considered opinion of acclaimed TALMUDIC SCHOLARS that there are actually thirty commandments that are Noadic and apply to all non‑Jewish people but that ONLY THE 'SEVEN NOAHIDE LAWS' ARE PUNISHABLE BY EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS BY JEWS THROUGH JEWISH 'NOAHIDE' COURTS! The Talmud says that the first six of these precepts were given originally by God to Adam, and the seventh afterward to Noah. These precepts were designed to be obligatory on all the Noachide, OR DESCENDANTS OF NOAH, AND CONSEQUENTLY, FROM THE TIME OF MOSES, THE JEWS WOULD NOT SUFFER A STRANGER TO LIVE AMONG THEM UNLESS HE OBSERVED THESE PRECEPTS, AND NEVER GAVE QUARTER IN BATTLE TO AN ENEMY WHO WAS IGNORANT OF THEM." (Current Biography Yearbook 1983, p. 355)

Now we turn once again to the Jewish Encyclopedia: HADAD: "NAME OF AN Aramaic...EDOMITISH, DEITY..." (Taken from the 1971 edition of the Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol. XII, pp. 1189‑1191)

"NOACHIDE LAWS, the seven laws considered by rabbinic tradition as the minimal moral duties enjoined by the Bible on all men (Sanh. 56‑60; Yad. Melakhim, 8:10; 10:12)...

The seven Noachide laws as traditionally enumerated are; the prohibitions of idolatry, blasphemy, bloodshed, sexual sins, theft, and eating from a living animal, AS WELL AS THE INJUNCTION TO ESTABLISH A LEGAL SYSTEM (Tosef., Av. Zar. 8:4; Sanh. 56a). Except for the last, all are negative, and the last itself is usually interpreted as commanding the enforcement of the other (Maim. Yad, Melakhim, 9:1). They are derived exegetically from divine demands addressed to Adam (Genesis 2:16) and Noah (see Gen. R. 34; Sanh. 59b), i.e., the progenitors of all mankind, and are thus regarded as universal.

The attempt of Finkelstein (op. cit.) to date the formulation of the seven Noachide commandments during the Hasmonean era would also suggest a rabbinic concern with the actual legal status of the non‑Jew in a sovereign Jewish state. It might even be the case that the substitution by the tanna of the school of Manasseh of emasculation and forbidden mixtures of plants for the establishment of a judicial system and blasphemy (Sanh. 56b) itself reflects a concern with the regulation of the life of the resident alien already under the jurisdiction of Jewish courts.

Of course, the seven commandments themselves are subject to either interpretation; e.g., the establishment of courts of justice can mean either an independent non‑Jewish judiciary and legal system or can simply bring the non‑Jew under the rubic Jewish civil law and its judicial system.

LIABILITY FOR VIOLATION OF THE LAWS. While committed to the principle that 'There is nothing permitted to an Israelite yet forbidden to a heathen' (Sanh. 59a), the seven Noachide Laws were not as extensive as the parallel prohibitions applicable to Jews, and there are indeed situations in which a non‑Jew would be liable for committing an act for which a Jew would not be liable.

As to the latter point, as a general rule, the Noachide is criminally liable for violation of any of his seven laws even though technical definition limitations would prevent liability by a Jew performing the same act. Thus a non‑Jew is liable for blasphemy ‑‑ even if only with one of the divine attributes; murder even of a foetus (Embryo): robbery ‑‑ even of less than a perutah; and the eating of flesh torn from a living animal ‑‑ even of a quantity less than the size of an olive. IN ALL THESE CASES A JEW WOULD NOT BE LIABLE (Sanh. 56a‑ 59b; Yad. Melakhim, ch. 9, 10). One additional element of greater severity IS that VIOLATION OF ANY ONE OF THE SEVEN LAWS SUBJECTS THE NOACHIDE TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BY DECAPITATION (Sanh. 57a).

The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 8, pages 648‑649, describes the Noahide Laws as follows: "LAWS, NOACHIAN: Laws which are supposed by the Rabbis to have been binding upon mankind at large even before the revelation at Sinai and which are still binding upon non‑Jews. The term Noachian indicates the universality of these ordinances, since the whole human race was supposed to be descended from the three sons of Noah who alone survived the flood...The Noachide ARE REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH COURTS OF JUSTICE IN EVERY CITY AND PROVINCE; and THESE COURTS ARE TO JUDGE THE PEOPLE WITH REGARD TO THE SIX LAWS and to warn them against the transgression of any of them. In the case of murder, if the Noachid slay a child in its mother's womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of ('terefah'), or if he cause the death of a person by starving him or by putting him before a lion so that he can not escape, or if he slay a man in self‑defense THE NOACHID IS GUILTY OF MURDER AND MUST PAY THE DEATH‑ PENALTY, although UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES A JEW WOULD NOT BE EXECUTED (ibid. 57b; 'Yad.' l.c. ix.4).

The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, by Massa DGH, p. 1178 relates: "Laws of Noah: Seven laws which the rabbis hold binding upon all mankind, derived from early chapters of Gen. (e.g., 9:4‑7). Six of these laws are negative, prohibiting idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, robbery, and the eating of flesh cut from a living animal. The single positive commandment is that REQUIRING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COURTS OF JUSTICE. The 'Noachide Laws' were much discussed by European scholars in the 17th century in connection with the Laws of Nations."

When we study the Lubavitch Movement we can begin to understand the depths of the conspiracy. We can now understand why the understanding of the Millennium had to be changed.

We can now more completely understand the true meaning of the multitude of quotes made by famous Rabbis and other Communists. We can now understand the true meaning of the term Judeo‑Christianity. The Lubavitch Movement is one of the guiding influences in the concept of the Jewish Millennium and their messiah.

The Lubavitch Movement, as we have shown, teaches that the Seven Noahide Laws are applicable to all non‑Jews and that the Jews of the world are obliged to enforce those laws.

The penalty for breaking those laws is DEATH BY DECAPITATION. At the same time, the Jews themselves are under Talmudic Laws and not the Noahide Laws they say. Thus, they can violate the Noahide Laws without punishment.

Now we can understand why it was so important for the doctrines of the Christian church to be changed to declare that the Laws, Statutes and Judgments of God done away with by the advent of Christ. For the longest period of time during the Christian Kingdom, we believed and practiced the Mosaic Laws. It was imperative that they relegate us to the Noahide Laws while only the Jews will keep the Talmudic Laws.

The Lubavitch Movement under Rabbi Menachem Schneerson teaches from the Talmud that any Jewish man can be the messiah. Further, they teach that the Jewish Millennium is to be ushered in at any moment with the naming of their messiah. If we combine the works of the Lubavitch Movement with the final drive for the one world movement that is now being pushed, we are seeing the final preparations for the Jewish utopia or millennium.

Now we can understand what THE TERM JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY MEANS: THE SUBMISSION OF CHRISTIANITY TO THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND RELIGIOUS PRECEPTS OF JUDAISM. The Economic Factor in the Conspiracy. The proposed Jewish Millennium must have an economic system. The Christian Kingdom of God here on Earth had an economic system and it was called money capitalism. There is a vast difference between the two systems.

They speak of high and lofty morals BUT WHERE ARE THEY? How did we wind up with sex execution in schools; with Queers and perverts handing out Condoms in the schools; pornographic stores; filthy movies on the screen and on television; free love; etc.?

Why do we have fourth generation families on welfare? where is this "MOTIVATING IMPULSE FOR THE WELFARE OF THE COMMON MAN?"

Some of the greatest philosophers of recent times, and those the Talmudic system hates with a passion, give us the clues. Oswald Spengler, Francis Yockey and Hegel all tell us of nationalism. That means ethnic, morality, racial and tribal. Each of them taught of the one great folly of the White, Celto‑Saxon, Teutonic Christian West. As a people we have gone to the four corners of the world and brought other cultures to live with us and we have tried to make them over in our own image. We have tried to play God.

LUBAVITCH SECT CLAIMS ITS LEADER IS THE MESSIAH: The followers of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, claim that he is the "Messiah." As evidence of this claim, followers cite Schneerson's predictions of the fall of Communism, the exodus of Soviet Jews to Israel, and the relatively little damage suffered by Israel during Iraq's Scud attacks on the Zionist State during the so‑called Gulf War.

The fact that the "Rebbe" as Schneerson is called, has recently suffered a stroke has not diminished his appeal as the "Messiah" in the eyes of his followers.

This is not surprising as the Jews trout out a new "Messiah" every 200‑300 years, as can be seen by an examination of the Jewish Chronology in the Jewish Encyclopedia.

721 A.D. Appearance of the false Messiah Serenus in Syria causes many Spanish Jews to emigrate to Palestine.

1156 A.D. Jews of Persia persecuted on account of pseudo‑Messiah, David Alroy.

1568. A.D. Isaac Luria Levi (1534‑72), a cabalist, pretends to be the Messiah, son of Joseph.

1665. A.D. Shabbethai Zebi (1626‑1676) publicly accepted as the Messiah at Smyrna.

1992. A.D. And now - Menachem Schneerson, the former leader of The Lubavitch Movement in the U.S.

The children of the promise are the literal descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whereas the children of the flesh are children from other unions such as the descendants of Ishmael and Esau. It also dealt with the genealogies of Christ and the Pharisees and it was concluded that the Pharisees at the time of Christ, like Ishmael and Esau, while of the seed of Abraham, were not children of the promise.

If the Pharisees, who were also called Jews, were not children of the promise, who then is a Jew and who is an Israelite? We will save the subject of Israelites for another publication and just deal with Pharisees and Jews. However, this story begins with Abraham, who had eight children: Isaac from Sarah; Ishmael from the handmaiden Hagar; and six others from Keturah; not counting the daughers.

Of all these children only one child became the child of the promise and that was Isaac. Isaac only had two children: twin boys named Esau and Jacob. But again, only one child was the child of the promise and that was Jacob. Later God would change his name to Israel. Jacob/Israel had twelve sons from two wives and two handmaidens and each of these sons, as descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, became children of the promise. [2]

At this time we are only interested in one of those sons named Judah. Judah had five sons, two of whom God killed, but only two of the remaining three were children of the promise. Throughout Biblical history there have been numerous conflicts between the children of the flesh born in juxtaposition to children of the promise, and some are listed below:

These conflicts between the children of the Promise and the children of the Flesh are later described in Scripture as being conflicts between the good seed and the tares. Scripture records a strange story in the events surrounding the births of each of these children.

Without getting into a lengthy discussion, Cain and Abel were born subsequent to the fall and of course Cain slew Abel; Canaanites were cursed because Ham uncovered the nakedness of his father, yet Noah cursed Canaan - not Ham; Moabites/Ammonites due to an incestuous relationship between Lot and his two daughters; Esau is recorded as fighting with his twin brother Jacob in the womb of his mother; Amalakites {of Esau} from the relationship between a concubine and Esau's son born of Esau's Hittite wife; and Shelah born of a Canaanite wife of Judah.

To understand that the Pharisees at the time of Christ and those of Jewry in the 20th century are at least partial descendants of the children of the flesh, we must go back and begin with Judah, Jacob's 4th son of Leah and his descendants. The story of Judah's marriage and descendants is recorded in Genesis, Chapter 38.

Genesis, Chapter 37 ends with Joseph being sold into Egypt and the story of Joseph starts again in Chapter 39. It is both interesting and strange that Chapter 38 should be placed at this particular place in the Scriptures about a subject totally unrelated to the former and latter chapters.

We are told in verse 1 that Judah "went down from his brethren." This appears to have been an act of poor judgement such as later Dinah exhibited and was raped due to her poor judgement. We are not told the reason for Judah's poor judgement but it begins the history of conflict between Judah and his brothers which will continue till the later separation of the nation into the House of Israel and the House of Judah.

Judah, being separated from his family ties, could and did fall prey to the women in the land who were not his kinsmen according to the flesh. We are told that Judah: "...saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her." [3]

This connection was contrary to the will of God and Judah should have known better from his upbringing if not the example of his fathers. His indiscretion or poor judgement in forming an alliance with the people in the land was a crime that produced bastard children. If this bastardization of Israel was to continue the chosen people would soon be assimilated into surrounding heathenism and would no longer be God's chosen people. Thus we see the necessity for God to separate His people from these heathen peoples.

In any event Judah took a Canaanite for a wife and had three bastard sons {sons born from mixed seed}: Er, Onan, and Shelah. We say bastard sons because in the Old Testament a bastard was a child born from a mixed marriage with an Israelite and another race (see Strong's Concordance). When the time came that Er, Judah's eldest son, was to have a wife, Judah obtained for him a woman named Tamar.

We are not told how or why, but Er was "wicked in the sight of the Lord" (Gen. 38:7) and the Lord slew him. We are not told what this wickedness was but the word used here also means evil and mischief and these definitions lead many to believe this evil had something to do with the law. Being raised by his Canaanite mother, he would have become indoctrinated in the ways of the pagan Canaanites - not the ways of the Lord.

According to the law, Onan, Er's younger brother, had to marry Tamar and raise up seed to his elder brother, Er. However, Onan was wicked also, and refused to do this, spilling his seed on the ground (Gen. 38:9). This was probably because of the threat of losing the inheritance {that is, he would be raising up seed for his brother}, again, possibly from the training he received from his Canaanite mother.

In any event, God also slew Onan. Once again, according to the law Tamar should have been given to the third son, Shelah, that he might raise up sons for his elder brother. However, by this time Judah must have been just a little bit concerned. After all, Tamar had already been the wife of two of his sons and both had been killed by the Lord. Thus it is easy to understand his reluctance. Scripture tells us that Judah told Tamar to wait until Shelah was older; however, when he got older Judah failed or refused to give Tamar to Shelah. Tamar waited and waited but Shelah eventually took another for a wife, apparently with his father's blessing.

It is recorded in the 45th chapter of the book of Jasher that Tamar was a daughter from the genealogy of Elam, the son of Shem. That she was a daughter of Shem makes sense in view of what Judah said when he found out she was pregnant with child. Scripture records that it was reported to Judah that: "Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also behold, she is with child by whoredom. And judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt." [4]

Stoning was the normal mode of capital punishment at that time in history - death by fire was not the normal procedure used to execute someone. Therefore it is significant that Judah pronounced death by burning for that was reserved for priests' daughters who brought disgrace upon the sacred office. The law states: "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." [5]

Since Judah pronounced death by fire we are able to conclude that she must have been the daughter of a priest. However, one would think that if she was, she should be aware of the law prohibiting mixed marriages. But perhaps that was not the case.

Tamar could have been imported from another geographical area as was Rebecca for Isaac. Thus at the time of her arrival and marriage to Er and Onan she could have been unaware of the covenant God had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. Not being aware of the covenant she would not know that the two men she married were half Canaanite and half Israelite and not legitimate heirs to the promise.

By the time Shelah had taken another wife, Tamar was probably educated in the covenant relationship with God and realized that even if she was given to Shelah, any sons from that union would not produce a bloodline heir. This is about the only logical reason for her to play the harlot, entrapping Judah to become the father of her children (Pharez and Zerah) at the risk of being put to fiery death. It would also partially explain Judah's response when he found out that he was the father and stated: "She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son."[6]

Although Judah may not have totally understood or admitted that his marriage to a Canaanite was in violation of the law, he is, at least, acknowledging that Tamar should have been the mother of children of the birthright. He must have understood this birthright problem sooner or later, as the scepter was not passed to Shelah, Judah's third and only surviving son from Shuah, but to Judah's firstborn son from Tamar who was named Pharez. This is evidenced by the fact that Pharez's name appears in the genealogies of Christ in Matthew 1:3 and Luke 3:23.

The union of Judah with Tamar produced the twin births of Pharez and Zerah, and once again Judah had three sons: 1). Shelah, who was a bastard {1/2 Canaanite & 1/2 of Judah} by his Canaanite wife; 2). Pharez; and 3). Zerah, the latter two both from Tamar. Pharez and Zerah being the sons of Judah, the son of Jacob/Israel, and Tamar the daughter of the genealogy of Shem, were full-blooded Israelites even though they were born out of wedlock. The whole story is recorded in Genesis 38. These births produced three descendant lines from Judah which we will call Pharez-Judah, Zerah-Judah, and Shelah-Judah.

The question now becomes, what happened to the three descendants of Judah: Pharez, Zerah and Shelah? It will simply be stated at this point in the study that Pharez and Zerah were children of the promise whereas Shelah was a child of the flesh and destined to become the father of the Pharisees. This study will not be concerned with Pharez and Zerah - only the family of Shelah will be addressed.

We need to keep in mind the fact that a strict genealogy was kept on each tribe. Even though Shelah was a bastard son of Judah, his genealogy is given in Scripture and his descendants can be traced to the city of Elath. In Chronicles it is recorded: "The sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah: which three were born unto him of the daughter of Shua the Canaanite. And Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the sight of the LORD; and he slew him. And tamar his daughter in law bare him Pharez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were five. The sons of Pharez; Hezron, and Hamul. And the sons of Zerah; Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara: five of them in all. And the sons of Carmi; Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the thing accursed. And the sons of Ethan; Azariah." [7]

Verse 3 is unusual, as once a name is dropped from the promised seed line it usually does not appear in later genealogies. For example the descendants of Cain do not appear in the genealogies of Adam in Genesis, Chapter 5, or Matthew 1 or Luke 3. It is difficult to determine exactly when the Book of Chronicles was written, however verse 1 of chapter 9 states: "So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression." [8]

Since the first 8 chapters deal with the genealogies of Adam to this statement in verse 1 of chapter 9, which refers to the Babylonian captivity, it seems apparent that this portion of Chronicles was not recorded until sometime after the Babylonian captivity (600 B.C.) - perhaps by Ezra or Nehemiah.

Again, all of Judah's sons must be important or they would not be recorded in Scripture, especially since the descendants of Shelah were not children of the promise. It should be noted that verses 5 and 6 list the descendants of Pharez and Zerah, and verse 8 begins with Ethan, a son of Zerah.

What is missing here are the sons of Shelah. But verse 7 seems to be completely out of place as it lists the genealogy of a person named "Carmi."

Carmi is not one of the five sons of Judah, nor is he listed in the Genealogies of Pharez or Zerah. The name also appears in 1 Chronicles 4:1, but it is still unclear whose son he was. However, it is most interesting that his son "Achar" is referred to as "the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the thing accursed." [9] While it appears impossible to prove it, it is suggested that "Carmi" and his son "Achar," the troubler of Israel, were in the genealogy of Shelah.

We mentioned that these names were also listed in Chronicles, chapter 4, as follows: "The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were, Er the father of Lecah, and laadah the father of Maresbah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea, And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and Jashubilehem. And these are ancient things. These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges; thee they dwell with the king for his work." [10]

Again there is no mention of "Carmi" nor his son "Achar," but her we do have a reference to these descendants of Shelah being "men of Chozeba." Chozeba was a town in southwestern Judah and is also the town of Chezib of Gen. 38:5 and Achzib of Joshua 15:44. The words Chezib, Achzib or Chozeba mean "lying," "deceptive," "disappointing," or "failing." It is also interesting that Shelah-Judah was born in Chezib (Genesis 38:5) and it appears that his descendants centuries later inherited this same city.

In Joshua we find that: "This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the utter most part of the south coast. And Keilab, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages." [11] Thus we see that the town of "Achzib" was given to some descendants of Judah. Achzib or Chozeba was located in the valley of Elath. Elath was in Old Edom in the valley of Elath and north of Adullum. The word "Adullum" should ring a bell as that was the place where Judah went down from his brothers and took a Canaanite for a wife. This was on the extreme southern border of the Southern Kingdom of Judah at the northern end of the Gulf of Aquabah.

In fact most scholars seem to be in agreement that this area was actually outside the land inherited by Judah. This would make some sense as we know that a bastard could not even enter the congregation, even unto the tenth generation;[12] therefore it would also make sense that these Shelahites, being bastards, could not inherit land belonging to the children of the promise.

But this does not mean that they could not be given land on the southern border of Judah. The city of Elath was next to Ezion-geber, which would later become Solomon's seaport. Remember now that these Shelahites are 1/2 Canaanite, and the word Canaanite is defined in Strong's Concordance as merchants and traders. Doesn't it seem logical that merchants and traders would congregate in the cities, and especially in and around a busy seaport where they could engage in trade, commerce, and industry? There is another reference to this city named "Achzib" in the Book of Micah where it states: "The house of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel." [13]

Is it just a coincidence that Shelah was born at "Chezib" which is basically the same word as Achzib? Is it coincidence that the word "Achzib so closely resembles and has the same meaning as "Achar," the troubler of Israel? Remember these words mean "lying," "deceptive," "disappointing," or "falling." Was it not a lie that Shelah was a true child of the promise? Would not their existence next to and/or as a part of Israel make any claim they would make as being a descendant of Abraham, [14] entitled to receive the promises, a lie or at the least a clever deception?

Elath or Eloth was a part of the land of Edom belonging to the descendants of Esau who were called Edomites an later Idumeans. Apparently Elath and Ezion-geber came under the control of Israel in 1040 B.C. by David's conquest of Edom as recorded in 2 Samuel 8:13-14. This land is also mentioned as being under the rule of Solomon in approximately 1000 B.C.[15] The land passed back into Edomite control in 890 B.C. during the days of Jehoarm, king of Judah.[16] 80 years later in 810 B.C., the city of Elath was rebuilt under the kingship of Azariah or Uszziah.[17]

This historical background brings us to the time of the "Jews from Elath" as recorded in 2 Kings, Chapter 16, which states: "In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war; and they besieged Ahaz, but could over come him. At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath..." [18]

Keep in mind that the time frame is approximately 750 B.C., which is around 200 years after the split of Israel into the Houses of Judah and Israel in 975 B.C., and just before the beginning of the Assyrian captivity in 721-745 B.C. By this time Jotham was the king of Judah {the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin}, and Pekah was the king of Israel {the 10 northern tribes}.It is the king of Syria, and Pekah, the king of Israel {not Judah}, who formed an alliance and went to war against the House of Judah. During that war they were unable to take Jerusalem, but Rezin, king of Syria, was able to recover the city of Elath and "drave the Jews from Elath."

As previously stated, Elath was far south of the area inherited by Judah and was given to Shelah as an inheritance. Again this was probably done because as a bastard, he could not enter the congregation of Israel nor inherit with the children of Israel. Remember, these people were part Canaanite, and in Strong's Concordance the word "Canaanite" means merchants and traders. Merchants cannot be merchants except in populated areas and therefore would have a propensity to migrate towards the cities, so it is logical to conclude that they were the ones who resided in Elath and were driven there-from.

It was from this area called Elath, and this area alone, that Rezin "drave the Jews." Ahaz, king of Judah {Southern Kingdom}, was still in Jerusalem and was never defeated nor was he driven anywhere. Pekah, king of Israel {Northern Kingdom}, apparently returned home. Therefore, whatever "Jews" were driven from Elath were only a small portion of people located South of Judah - not all of the House of Judah, and none of the House of Israel. Therefore, the word "Jews," as used in this verse does not include any people from the House of Israel and probably none from the House of Judah. This limits the use of the word "Jew" in the Old Testament to a very small group of people who resided in the town of Elath, who were most likely descendants of Shelah.

Scripture does not tell us where these so-called "Jews from Elath" went after being driven from Elath, but being traders and merchants they would be city dwellers, and it is probably safe to assume that they moved north to the walled city of Jerusalem. After Rezin "drave the Jews" from Elath the area was again populated but this time by Edomites.

The word "Jews" is used for the first time in Scripture in the King James Authorized (KJA) version in this verse. If you own a 1592 copy of the Geneva Bible, or a 1611 King James version and will open it to this verse you will not find the word "Jew."

According to the Jewish Encyclopedia: "Up to the seventeenth century this word was spelled in the Middle English in various ways:...Ieue, Ieu, Iwe, Iewe, Iue... corresponding to the Hebrew...a gentile adjective from the proper name 'Judah' seemingly never a;;lied to member of the tribe {of Judah}, however, but to members of the nationality inhabiting the South of Palestine. It appears to have been afterward extended to apply to Israelites in the North..." [19]

If you will once again look at 2 Kings 16:6 in an original 1611 KJA version, you will find one of these words - You will not find the word "Jews." And probably more interesting in this quote is the fact that the word "Ieue,' etc., was never applied to the tribe of Judah but to a nationality "inhabiting the South of Palestine." The encyclopedia fails to point out who these people were but it has previously been shown that the land South of Judah was occupied by the Shelah branch of Judah - a bastard son from his Canaanite wife.

According to Biblical scholar Alexander Schiffner: "The first reference to any Jews in Scripture is found in 2 Kings 16:6. The name was applied to a remnant of Judah’s descendants of the Shelah Branch. Shelah-Judah was born in Chezib[20] and his descendants centuries later inherited his territory.[21] Remember a strict genealogy was kept of each tribe and branch.[22]

Chezib,[23] Achzib [24] and Chozeba [25] refer to one and the same place. it was a town in the lowlands of western Judah and was given to the Shelah branch of Judah for their inheritance. [26] '

This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families.' The word Chezib, Achzh or Chozeba means 'deceptive' or 'failing' and the place received its name from a winter spring or brook, which failed in the summer heat. {Symbolic of the failing of the Shela branch of Judah under trial}. It was the place where Judah was at the time of the birth of his half-breed son, Shelah. [27]

In 1 Chr. 4:21-22 it is called 'Chozeba.' it is in the valley of Elath and north of Addulum. Note 2 Kings 16:6 - the first reference to this branch of Judah; 'the Jews of Elath.' The Jews are the remnant' of 'Yehudim' of Judah. This branch of Judah rejected Christ. They are the open witness, 'The shew of their countenance doth witness against them - their tongue and their doings are against the Lord - they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not.'[28]." [29]

James Fox, the author of several books, wrote of Shelah: "The reason for the divergence of facial appearance between the true Hebrew or Abrahamic White-Race Men, and the Jews, is that the patriarch Judah disobeyed God's will at the outset by marrying a Canaanitish woman called 'Shua' [30], producing descendants all half-castes, later known as 'Jews.' [31]

According to these authors, the "Jews of Elath" were the 'remnant' of 'Yehudim' of Judah, and verses 5 and 6 of 2 Kings, chapter 16, are the first reference to the mongrel Canaanite branch of Judah where they are referred to as "Jews" [32]. The use of the word "Jews" in 2 Kings 16:6 rather than "Ieues" has added to the misconception that the Jews are all of Israel, when it is obvious that in this verse only a small group of people were implied - those living in Elath - which omits the entire northern ten tribes and the majority of the House of Judah.

The major problem with the Jew in Any-town USA's conversations is that the word carries so many definitions and so few seem very want to know fully what he is really talking about or referring to when he uses the term "Jew."

Most so-called (c)hristians of today, even those who are of Israelite stock, and are not aware of it, don't want to hear the words, concepts and truth contained in this study. Those of Israelite heritage may find some fulfillment in Jeremiah's words, found in Chapter 5:30-31 which sound all too familiar: "A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so; and what will ye do in the end thereof?"

Some think that the King James Version is the only correct version. This version was written in 1611, but it for sure contains some errors. Look at John 4:22, where Christ tells the woman of Samari: "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews." This is a primary script for the problem we face today, for any discerning true Christian Israelite should see this is not a true statement, but rather a false one based on its own merits.

Any Christian should realize the truth that salvation does not come through any religionor any race of people,but through Jesus the Christ. The Ferrar Fenton version, which comes from the original Greek text, says: "the salvation comes from among the Judeans." Now which way should we Israelites come to know fully the truth of this verse? If Christ came out of the region of Judea and the Hebrew tribe of Judah, then He is the way, the truth and the life. [33]

Paul planted the first Christian Church in Corinth, teaching that Christ is the Salvation for HIS people. But we hear the resounding common statement, but Pontius Pilate said that He was "King of the Jews." But did he really say that as most, deceived, Judeo-Christians believe?

There are some who say, "Thank God! My Savior Was Not A Jew!," that there is a historical record found in the Achoko Volume in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C., containing an official record of one of Pilate's correspondences. He states on pages 137-139: "The Archoko record gives an eye-witness account from Pontius Pilate, who testified that Jesus did not look like, or act like a Jew. Here is the account as it appears in this official record: To Tiberius Caesar, Emperor of Rome Noble Sovereign, Greetings: '...Among various rumors that came to my ears there was one in particular that came to my attention. A young man it was said, had appeared in Galilee, preaching with noble unction a new law in the name of the God who sent him. At first I was apprehensive that his design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled.

Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day in passing by the place of Siloe, where there was a great concourse of people, I observed in the midst of the group a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected, so great was the difference between him and those who listened to him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance an almost celestial aspect. He appeared to be about thirty years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between he and his hearers with their black beards and tawny complexions!...

Never have I heard in the words of the philosopher, anything that can compare with the maxims of Jesus. One of the rebellious Jews, so numerous in Jerusalem, asked Jesus if it was lawful to give tribute to Caesar, he replied: 'Render unto Caesar the things which belong to Caesar, and unto God the things which are God's...

I wrote to Jesus requesting an interview with him at the praetorium and he came." (Think now for a moment on your own, without having some Judeo-Christian preacher tell you that this is fantasy. What would be so strange in this? Even though this meeting is not recorded in the Gospels, we know that most of what Christ did during His three years of public ministry was never recorded.[34]

Pilate's report to Caesar continues: 'You know that in my veins flows the spanish mixed with Roman blood...When the Nazarene made his appearance, I was walking in my basilic, and my feet seemed fastened with an iron hand to the marble pavement, and I trembled in every limb as does a guilty culprit, though the Nazarene was as calm as innocence itself. When he came up to me and stopped, and by a signal sign seemed to say to me, 'I am here!' though he spoke not a word. For some time I contemplated with admiration and awe, this extraordinary type of man, a type unknown to our numerous painter...There was nothing about him that was repelling in its character and I felt awed and tremulous to approach him.

Jesus, I said to him at last, 'Jesus of Nazareth, for the last three years I have granted you ample freedom of speech [35]nor do I regret it. Your words are those of a sage. I know not whether you have read Socrates or Plato, but this I know, there is in your discourse a majestic simplicity that elevates you above those philosophers...'your blood shall not be spilled,' I said, with deep emotion, 'you are more precious in my estimation on account of your wisdom than all the turbulent and proud Pharisees who abuse the freedoms granted them by Rome. They conspire against Caesar, and convert his bounty into fear, impressing on the unlearned, that Caesar is a tyrant who seeks their ruin...i will protect you against them. My praetorium shall be an asylum both day and night.' I am our obedient servant, Pontius Pilate."

You can accept this letter, as we do, since it makes sense, or dismiss it as most of your Judeo-Christian preachers and church Bible scholars will do. But, think for yourself! Doesn't it make sense to you that the Jews would try and suppress this truth?

There is one point in the forementioned passage of Acts 18 that most folks seem to over look. Paul came to Corinth and planted the first Christian Church with the True Israelite inhabitants who apparently were worshipping Judaism out of ignorance. With little success at first, but a s a rational, as well as spiritual preacher, Paul reasoned with all Jews (Both non-Israel and True Israel) not with force or violence but by fair arguing he won some over to his own opinion.

In verses 9 and 10, Paul had a vision. Each of us ought to know fully this vision and effectively grasp its meaning in our lives, today, as White Israelites. We read in the King James Version: "Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city."

We should renew our own commission "be not afraid of the Jews." That means be not afraid of the magistrates of the city, county, state or federal for they have no power against you but what is given them from above. We are pleading, like Paul, the cause of heaven and we need to do it boldly. We should not be afraid of their words, nor dismayed at their quirky looks and fraudulent judgments. At the right times we should speak, and not hold back.
