THE GODDESS OF AMERICA

Scripture Reading: Genesis 24:2, 3

Do not these verses teach that the marriage of a member of the Abrahamic family to a Canaanite was strictly forbidden as seen in Abraham’s command to his servant?

And let’s look next at who did Abraham’s grandson marry.

Genesis 28:1: “And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.”

This is what Esau had done when he had despised the covenant that God had made with his grandfather and confirmed with his father.

Scripture Reading:  Judges 2:11-13

I received a very disturbing email (on May 3, 2019) from an organization that is headed by the nationally known preacher (John Hagee) who divorced his wife and married a woman who was a member of his congregation; who was disbarred from his church’s denomination as a preacher; and who just moved a couple of miles down the road and started a new ministry. Listen to what this email says. Is it true or false?

“Dear Donald,

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day (Yom HaShaoh), we commemorate the slaughter of 6 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis. Sadly, as we do so, we are simultaneously seeing the rise of that old enemy wearing a new mask. Where once, anti-Semitism was displayed by those in white hoods or wearing the twisted cross of the swastika, today, this hatred hides in plain sight. Only a decade ago, anti-Semites were shunned and despised. Now this appalling bigotry has a platform on Twitter and the New York Times and is applauded in the public square…

Don’t be fooled by those using words like “anti-Zionism” as a fig leaf to hide their bigotry. Let us not become blind to the anti-Semitism that hides in plain sight, where false arguments are used to mask efforts to destroy Israel through Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)…”

It ends with the following pledge: 

"I Pledge to "Shine the Light" by:

- Opposing anti-Semitism in all its forms, wherever it may be found

- Educating my friends, coworkers and elected officials about how to identify and condemn the anti-Semitism that hides in plain sight

- Fighting those who would use opposition to Israeli policy as a thin veil to hide their hatred for the Jewish state

- Supporting our Jewish neighbors should they ever be victimized by anti-Semites"

Is this email true or false? John Hagee said, “…today we commemorate the slaughter of 6 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis.” How many Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis? How many Nazis were slaughtered by the Jews? The Christians United for Israel organization says that the Nazis slaughtered 6 million Jews, but is it true?

THE CANAANITES

Scripture Reading: Genesis 9:18, 19

The Age that ended just before these verses was called the Antediluvian Age. This Age was from the time of the sin of Adam till the flood of Noah. It lasted 1656 years. Most Christians don’t really consider, even if they know how long Adam lived, that Adam lived over half of that time—930 years out of 1656 years. In fact, Adam has lived about 1/6 of all time—from his sin till the present.

The Antediluvian Age was about 30% of the time to the present. In other words, there has only been about 4300 years from Noah’s flood to the present time. What was the Age before ours like?

The Bible reveals very little about that Age. There was a Garden that was made by Almighty God, and that is where He placed both Adam and Eve. The Garden was on the eastern portion of Eden. And there was the land of Nod to the east of Eden. And there were lands and oceans to the north, south, west and east of Eden.

THE ONE RELIGION

Scripture Reading:  Deuteronomy 23:2

I am not a Hindu-Christian or a Buddhist-Christian. What is so surprising about this statement—aren’t all Christians unbelievers in the pagan religions of Hinduism or Buddhism? Hinduism’s and Buddhism’s doctrines have crept into Christianity, much like Judeo-Christianity has, making many churches Hindu-Judeo-Christian churches.

Most churches in America are, therefore, a combination of all three religions: Hindu-Judeo-Christian. These churches think that they are “Christian” churches, but they believe doctrines which originated from the Hindu and Judaic “holy” books and not from the Word of the Bible.

THE AMERICAN DRUG DEALERS

Scripture Reading: Revelation 22:14, 15

After almost one hundred years of humiliation and the double defeat by David Sassoon and his mercenary British Army, China finally eliminated drug usage in its nation. At its worst, China had 1/3 of the nation as addicts. It had lost two major wars with Sassoon and the British and the peace treaties were even worse. But in four short years it had become practically a drug-free nation.

Shortly after WWII, in 1949, China had gained control of its drug addiction problem. It had provided rehab to many of the users, murdered many of the drug dealers, and stopped the importation of the drugs, including opium. China was finally relatively drug-free after 100 years of major drug-addition. It took just four short years.

But very few people ever ask the next question, which should be obvious: If the drug business, which was all Jewish, was so profitable that many Jews made fortunes that are still inherited today, what did they do with their business if China was no longer an option? If illegal drugs were no longer available to be sent to the Chinese market, what would they do with all the opium? The answer: They simply moved it to other countries.

THE RICHEST MAN IN THE 19TH CENTURY

Scripture Reading:  Revelation 21:8

Today’s history lesson is also an important study with warnings taken from the Bible.

David Sassoon was the son of a wealthy jewish banker in Iraq who was also the treasurer of Baghdad. David held the same jobs in the financial field as his father had when he grew up. Seems to be a common occupation of this hybrid race. When the governor of Baghdad was overthrown due to corruption, the Sassoon family fled to Bombay, India via Bushire, Persia (Iran). David was 40 years old when he came to Bombay, and it was here that this our story really becomes interesting.

The year was 1832 when the Sassoons landed in Bombay, India, and what happened when they were there changed the world. Bombay was on a major trade route and Sassoon had the “monopoly rights” to sell the manufactured cotton goods made in Lancashire and surrounding counties in England. He also had the “monopoly rights” to buy tea, silk products, and porcelain from China. But there was soon a problem, and the answer given by the Sassoon family to this solution has created even a greater problem in today’s world.

BROKEN ARROW

Sripture Readng:  Psalms 106:34-36

Two Saturdays ago (12/15/2018), I saw the movie, starring Jimmy Stewart, called “Broken Arrow.” It also starred Debra Paget, born Doralee Griffin, and a person who my father was in drama class with in high school. The high school was Maysville, Kentucky Senior High School. My father was born Newell Jouett Elmore in Richmond, Kentucky, and Will Geer, Grandpa Walton, was born William Aughe Ghere in Frankfort, Indiana. They both moved to Maysville when they were teenagers, where they were in a couple of drama shows at the school together. But their lives took different paths as the years rolled on.

Scripture Reading: The Life of Adam & Eve 18:7-9 (Pseudepigrapha):

7) “The Word of God came to the serpent and said unto it…

8) Be thou dumb; and speak no more, thou and thy race because…The ruin of my creatures happened through thee…

9) And a wind came to blow from heaven by command of God that carried away the serpent from Adam and Eve, threw it on the shore, and it landed in _______.”

Where does this passage, that used to be studied by Biblical scholars, tell us in what country the serpent landed? Many Christians would say that there is no country at this time in existence. There is just Adam and Eve. The serpent would have been blown away into the barren outskirts of the Garden. That is because they believe that there were no other races on the earth. And if there were no other people on the earth, there certainly weren’t any countries.
