The Grapes Of Wrath

What are the Grapes of Wrath?

In 1939 AD, John Steinbeck published his novel about the hardships faced by Oklahoma farmers, who fled to California to escape the Dust Bowl.  When he was finished, he did not really have a suitable title.  His wife gave his novel the title of "The Grapes of Wrath".

She did not get this title from the book itself.  This phrase only appears once in the novel, in the twenty-fifth chapter.  She got this title from a line in the Battle Hymn of the Republic.  The verse that inspired her was this:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

 What are the grapes of wrath referenced in this song?

 The lyrics of this song were themselves inspired from Revelation, the last book in the Book of Truth (The Bible).

In the relevant passage, an Angel of Truth gathers clusters of fully ripe grapes, throws them into the winepress of the wrath of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), and then millions of gallons of blood comes out of the winepress (Revelation 14:17-20).

So, the grapes, that are thrown into the winepress of the the wrath of the Father of Truth, are referred to as "the grapes of wrath" in this song.  However, the question then becomes:  What are these grapes?

The best place to start is with a little explanation of wine making.  Wine is simply the blood of grapes (Genesis 49:11).   It is made from grapes being trampled and crushed in a winepress.

There is more than one winepress in the Book of Truth.  Looking at all of them should make it plain, what the grapes of wrath are.

The winepress of Jerusalem was the place, where the Father of Truth trampled the people of Judah in His wrath, the first time (Lamentations 1:12-15). When they drank the wine of His wrath, they became as senseless as men drunk on wine (Isaiah 51:17-21).

The wine of the wrath of the Father of Truth will be poured out on his enemies completely in the future (Psalm 75:8).  The wine of the wrath of the Father of Truth will not be watered down with mercy, when He makes His enemies drink it (Revelation 14:9-11).

The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) will first crush, all by himself, so many enemies of Israel, who are gathered in the winepress of Edom in the last days, that their blood will make his clothes look like they have been stained in a winepress (Isaiah 63:1-3).  He will make them so full of terror, that they will act as senseless as men drunk on wine (Isaiah 63:4-6).

After that, the Man of Truth will come in his blood stained garment with the armies of heaven (Revelation 19:11-14).  He will come with these armies, to tread upon the rest of the enemies of the Father of Truth in the winepress of Jerusalem, to set up his kingdom on Earth (Revelation 19:15-16).  All of the fowls of the air will be called to this winepress, to feast on the flesh of his enemies (Revelation 19:17-18).

So, Jerusalem shall become the winepress of the Father of Truth for the last time, where the enemies of Israel shall drink the wine of His wrath (Isaiah 51:22-23).  He will make Jerusalem a cup of wine that brings trembling to everyone, who drinks from it (Zechariah 12:1-2).

When the Man of Truth comes to save Jerusalem, those who came against Jerusalem, will become drunk with terror (Zechariah 12:3-4).  Then the leaders in Jerusalem will be emboldened to join in the fight against their enemies (Zechariah 12:5-6).  The Man of Truth will first save the people of Judah, who live outside of Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:7).  This will embolden even the weak of them, and then the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to fight like King David, when they join the Man of Truth in destroying their enemies (Zechariah 12:8).

The Man of Truth will destroy all, who try to destroy Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:9).  The Man of Truth and his armies, will totally destroy the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) and his armies, in the winepress of Jerusalem, and the fowls of the air will pick their bones clean (Revelation 19:19-21).

So, the grapes of wrath are placed in the winepress of wrath to produce the wine of wrath.  The grapes of wrath are the enemies of the Father of Truth, who are trampled in the winepress of His wrath.  When they are crushed in the winepress of His wrath, then their blood flows out of them like wine from squished grapes.  Like drinking wine causes people to act senseless, the sight of their overflowing blood will cause His enemies to become drunk with fear.

So, the grapes of wrath are people, who have provoked the Father of Truth to crush them in His wrath.  So the question becomes:  What kind of people are the grapes of wrath?

When Jerusalem was the winepress of the wrath of the Father of Truth for the first time, the people of Judah were the grapes of wrath.  They were the grapes of wrath, because of their many transgressions against the Father of Truth (Lamentations 1:5).  They were the grapes of wrath, because of they were heavily involved in sexual sin (Lamentations 1:8-9).  They were the grapes of wrath, because of their bondage to sin (Lamentations 1:14).  They were the grapes of wrath, because they rebelled exceedingly against the commandments of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Lamentations 1:18-20).

When Jerusalem will be the winepress of the wrath of the Father of Truth for the last time, the enemies of Judah will be the grapes of wrath.  They will be the grapes of wrath, because of their humiliating treatment of the Jews (Isaiah 51:23).  They will be the grapes of wrath, because they will surround Jerusalem to annihilate the Jewish people (Zechariah 12:2-3).  They will be the grapes of wrath, because they will worship the Man of Lies, and choose to be marked as his property (Revelation 14:9-10).  They will be the grapes of wrath, because they will be fully ripe with sin (Revelation 14:18).  They will be the grapes of wrath, because they will make war against the Man of Truth (Revelation 19:19).

So, the grapes of wrath are people, who are in opposition to the plans of the Father of Truth.  The grapes of wrath rebel against the Law of Truth.  The grapes of wrath persecute the Jewish people.  The grapes of wrath reject the Man of Truth.

The Father of Truth will give the lives of the grapes of wrath, in order to bring the Jewish people back to Himself (Isaiah 43:4-7).  After the grapes of wrath have been trampled in the winepress of Jerusalem, the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) will be poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the people of Israel will mourn deeply for the wounds, that the leaders of their ancestors inflicted upon the Man of Truth, their savior (Zechariah 12:10-14).

So, the same day that the grapes of wrath will be crushed in judgment, will also be the day when the atonement of Jerusalem is completed.

This is all foretold in the sixth act of the Greatest Play Ever - the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).  This day is also called Judgment Day.  It is both the day, when the enemies of Israel will face the judgment of the Father of Truth, and the day, when all of the people of Israel will finally accept the Messiah of Israel as their atonement for sin.  It is the day, when all of the people of Israel will finally submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender.

The grapes of wrath dread this day, but the Children of Truth say, "Bring it on!".  This is the day when the saints go marching in.

The grapes of wrath are ripening today.   The grapes of wrath are covering the Earth today.

Everyone, who does not put their trust in the Man of Truth, is part of the grapes of wrath (John 3:36).  Everyone, who rejects the truth that the Father of Truth has made known to them, is part of the grapes of wrath (Romans 1:18-19).  Everyone, who despises the goodness of the Father of Truth, which leads to repentance, is part of the grapes of wrath (Romans 2:4-6).  Everyone, who does not obey the truth, written in the Book of Truth, is part of the grapes of wrath (Romans 2:8-9).  Everyone, who obeys the Father of Lies, by disobeying the Father of Truth, is part of the grapes of wrath (Ephesians 2:2-3).  Everyone, who does those things that are contrary to the kingdom of the Father of Truth, is part of the grapes of wrath (Ephesians 5:3-6).  Everyone, who continues in sexual sin and the like, is part of the grapes of wrath (Colossians 3:5-6).  Everyone, who opposes the Children of Truth in carrying out the Great Commission, is part of the grapes of wrath (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16).

All of the grapes of wrath will be crushed in the winepress of the Chamber of Horrors. 

This being the case, then how can people escape being part of the grapes of wrath?

They escape being part of the grapes of wrath, by showing real repentance from their sins (Luke 3:7-8).  They escape being part of the grapes of wrath, by accepting the blood of the Man of Truth as their atonement for sins (Romans 5:9-11).  They escape being part of the grapes of wrath, by remaining faithful to the Man of Truth (1 Thessalonians 1:10).  They escape being part of the grapes of wrath, by remaining alert to the Spirit of Truth (1 Thessalonians 5:8-10).

The Father of Truth has been letting the grapes of wrath ripen, so that He can extend mercy to everyone, who will come into the House of Truth (Romans 9:22-24).  The grapes of wrath will not go into the winepress of His wrath, until they are fully ripe, so that all people can be given the opportunity to come into the House of Truth (2 Peter 3:7-9).

You escape being part of the grapes of wrath, by making the Man of Truth your king, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

When The Saints Go Marching In

When the saints go marching in, will you be in that number?

When I got out of the Air Force, I did not have a job.  So, I did what many people do as they transition back to civilian life.  I went back to living at home, until I got back on my feet again.

During this time, I decided to teach myself to play the electronic keyboard that I had bought in the Air Force.

I had always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument.  I finally had both an instrument and the time to learn to play it.  So, I got out the beginner's book that came with the electronic keyboard, and started teaching myself.

Eventually, I worked my way up to "When The Saints Go Marching In".  I found this song really fun to play, and for some reason, I decided to see how fast I could learn to play it.  I had learn to overcome my lack of a natural sense of rhythm, by watching the beat light on the keyboard.  Pretty soon, I was playing this song at 220 beats per minute, the highest speed that it had.

I also changed the settings for orchestration, drums, and other accompaniment settings on the keyboard to produce a heavy metal sound.  I change the sound produced when I pressed the keys to electric guitar.  So, I succeed in creating a speed metal version of "When The Saints Go Marching In".

I was far from the first to change the sound of this classic song.  The original song was written in 1896 AD as a hymn named "When The Saints Are Marching In".  It was slow and mournful, often being used in funeral processions as the casket was carried to the grave site. Over the years, there were continual variations of the song with slightly different titles.  By 1923 AD, "When The Saints Come Marching In", was recorded with the modern lyrics.  The lyrics were noticeably different from the original song by this point.  The song had taken on a much more joyful tone.  However, the chorus of "When The Saints Are Marching In" was basically the same, with a one word change to become the familiar "When The Saints Go Marching In".

The song gained its familiar livelier sound, when the title was altered to the "When The Saints Go Marching In", and the tempo increased in 1927 AD, probably by Barbecue Bob, a famous Blues singer in his day.  In 1938 AD, Louis Armstrong recorded his Jazz version, that all other versions are measured against.

Since that time, recordings of this song have been made in whatever style was popular at the time.  The most well known, and most imitated, was the Fats Domino Rock and Roll version.

For those unfamiliar with this song, here are the lyrics:

    Oh, when the saints
    Go marching in
    Oh, when the saints go marching in
    Oh how I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Oh, when the drums begin to bang
    Oh, when the drums begin to bang
    I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Oh, when the stars fall from the sky
    Oh, when the stars fall from the sky
    I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Oh, when the moon turns red with blood
    Oh, when the moon turns red with blood
    I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
    Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
    I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Oh, when the horsemen begin to ride
    Oh, when the horsemen begin to ride
    I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Oh, when the fire begins to blaze
    Oh, when the fire begins to blaze
    I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Oh, when the saints go marching in
    Oh, when the saints go marching in
    I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in.

This song has a much deeper meaning than the simple lyrics might imply.  It takes some understanding of the Book of Truth to understand the depth of this song.  There are several keys to understanding what this song is really about.

The first key is the meaning of "saint" in this song.  A saint in this song does not refer to someone dubbed a "Saint" by the False Church of Rome.  A saint is defined by the Book of Truth in this song.

Everyone who receives instruction in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) is a saint (Deuteronomy 33:2-4).  Everyone who loves the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), and puts their hope in Him is a saint (Psalm 31:23-24).  Everyone who has entered into a covenant with the Father of Truth is a saint (Psalm 50:5).  Everyone who has came into the House of Truth is a saint (Acts 26:9-11).  Everyone who is part of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) is a saint (Ephesians 3:17-19).  Everyone who obeys the Man of Truth  (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) in total surrender is a saint (Revelation 14:12).

The second key is knowing that this song was inspired by the book of Revelation, which ends the Book of Truth (The Bible). The imagery of end time events in the song are inspired by the book of Revelation, and related passages from the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).

The Man of Truth refers to these events collectively as the Tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22).  The Tribulation ends with the Man of Truth coming to the Earth from Heaven with great glory and power (Matthew 24:27-30).  The Tribulation will bring great fear to everyone on Earth, until the Man of Truth returns in great glory and power, to bring an end to wickedness (Luke 21:25-27).

The horsemen in the song are the terrible events, that will kill one fourth of the people on Earth, when the Tribulation begins with the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) rising to power (Revelation 6:2-8).  The drums banging is a reference to the drums of war, that will sound when the Earth is plunged into a global war during this time (Revelation 6:4).  The moon turning red with blood, and the stars falling from the sky in the song, announce the wrath of the Man of Truth coming upon the kingdom of the Man of Lies, at the end of the Tribulation (Revelation 6:12-17).  The fire in the song is the fire, that destroys one third of the forests, and all of the grass on Earth during the Tribulation (Revelation 8:6-7).

The third key is where the saint go marching into.

The saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, when he destroys the kingdom of the Man of Lies (1 Samuel 2:8-10). The saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, to repay the Man of Lies for his treatment of the Children of Truth (Daniel 7:25-27).  The saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, when he comes to rescue Jerusalem from the Man of Lies (Zechariah 14:2-5).

The saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, to take possession of his eternal kingdom (Daniel 7:18-22).  All of the saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, when he comes back to rule the Earth (1 Thessalonians 3:13).

The saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, to execute his enemies (Psalm 149:5-9).  The saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, when the Father of Truth repays the world for bringing tribulation upon them (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10).  The saints will go marching in with the Man of Truth, to bring judgment upon the Children of Lies (those who disobey the Father of Truth because they do not love Him) (Jude 1:14-15).

The fourth key is the trumpet in the song.

The trumpet in the song causes some of the saints, who are alive when it is sounded, to have their mortal bodies changed to immortal bodies, without needing to die first (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).  The trumpet in the song causes all of the saints, who have already died, to be resurrected, then those saints, who are alive, to be given immortal bodies, and then both of groups of saints to meet with the Man of Truth in the air, to be with him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).  The trumpet will tell them to come up to the Man of Truth, like it did to John the Jew (Yochanon aka the Apostle John) (Revelation 4:1).

The fifth key is the plea to be counted in that number in the song.

The Father of Truth will preserve the souls of some of the saints in the Tribulation (Psalm 97:10).  Some of the saints will give their lives as a gift to the Father of Truth in the Tribulation (Psalm 116:13-15).  Some of the saints will be overcame by the Man of Lies in the Tribulation, when he makes war on them (Daniel 7:21).  Some of the saints will be worn out by the Man of Lies in the Tribulation (Daniel 7:25).  Some of the saints will be killed during the Tribulation (Revelation 6:9-11).  Some of the saints will die in the war, which the Man of Lies will make upon those, who will not worship him (Revelation 13:6-8).  These saints, which die in the Tribulation, will be the last group to be resurrected as part of the First Resurrection, that is completed after the Man of Truth ends the Tribulation (Revelation 20:4-6).

The First Resurrection, the resurrection of the Children of Truth, is not a one-time event, but happens in phases.  The First resurrection began with the resurrection of the Man of Truth, and ends with the resurrection of the Tribulation saints, right before he begins his reign on the Earth (1 Corinthians 15:20-25).

The second phase was the resurrection of some of the dead saints in Jerusalem, right after the resurrection of the Man of Truth, the first phase (Matthew 27:52-53).  The third phase is when the rest of the saints, who have died before the Tribulation, are resurrected to meet the Man of Truth in the air, so they can go marching in with him to end the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17).  The fourth phase is when the two witnesses are resurrected, to meet the Man of Truth in the air, during the Tribulation, so they can go marching in with him to end the Tribulation (Revelation 11:3-12).  The fifth phase is the resurrection of all the saints, who died during the Tribulation, after the saints went marching in with the Man of Truth to end the Tribulation (Revelation 20:1-4).

In the same way, the meeting up with the Man of Truth in the air, without dying first, is not a one-time event, but happens in phases.  Enoch the Gentile met the Man of Truth up in the air, in a mortal body, as the first phase (Genesis 5:22-24).  Elijah the Jew met the Man of Truth up in the air, in a mortal body, as the second phase (2 Kings 2:9-11).  Some of the saints, who are alive when the trumpet sounds, will meet up with the Man of Truth in the air, in immortal bodies, so these saints can go marching in with the Man of Truth, as the third phase (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).  The hundred and forty-four thousand Jewish saints of the Tribulation, will meet up with the Man of Truth in the air, so these saints can go marching in with the Man of Truth, as the fourth phase (Revelation 14:1-5).

So, there is no doubt, that the Children of Truth, who die before the Tribulation, will be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in.  There is no doubt, that the two witnesses of the Tribulation will be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in.  There is no doubt, that the hundred and forty-four thousand Jewish saints of the Tribulation will be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in.  There is no doubt that the Children of Truth, who die during the Tribulation, will not be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in.

It is only those who are alive when the trumpet sounds, who need to plead to be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in.

This is because the Man of Truth said, that the Children of Truth need to avoid being distracted by the world, and pray that they are counted worthy to escape the entire Tribulation, so that they will be counted in that number, when the saint go marching in with the Man of Truth (Luke 21:34-36).  It is only the saints, who are worthy, who will be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in with the Man of Truth (2 Thessalonians 1:10-12).

The rest of the Children of Truth, who are not found worthy to escape the Tribulation, when the trumpet sounds, can only gain an immortal body by dying in the Tribulation.

Those who are found worthy at the sounding of the trumpet, to be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in, will escape all of the terrible events of the Tribulation, recounted in the song.  Therefore, the desire to be found in that number, when the saints go marching in, is repeated over and over in this song.

This meeting the Man of Truth in the air, by living saints, who will be given immortal bodies, without needing to die first, is often called the Rapture.  People often argue over when the Rapture will occur with respect to the Tribulation.  The Man of Truth said, in no uncertain terms, that those who are worthy, will escape all of the terrible events of the Tribulation (Luke 21:35-36).  Who are we to argue with him about it?

This song has many of the same themes as "People get ready!" by Crystal Lewis, that was written about one hundred years later.

They both reflect the fact, that the Father of Truth will not take collateral damage among those, who are actively seeking to do His will, when He sends judgment upon the Earth.

They both reflect the timing of the Rapture, shown in The Greatest Play Ever, that the Feasts of Truth form.  They both speak of the fear, that will engulf the Earth on the Day of Alarming.  They both point to what will happen at the sound of the trumpet!

Most importantly, they both warn, that the Children of Truth must take action to be ready, if they want to be counted in that number!  They warn, that not all of the Children of Truth will automatically be taken off this Earth, like Captain Kirk saying, "Beam me up", just in time to escape danger.

So, this song is not only a song of comfort and jubilation, but also a song of prophetic warning.  It warns of the need to strive to be counted worthy, to escape the terrible events of the Tribulation.

So the important question is: What do the Children of Truth need to do, to be counted worthy to escape the terrible events of the Tribulation?

The worthy are those, who live their lives in a way that reflects the love of the Man of Truth (Ephesians 4:1-3).  The worthy are those, who live their lives in a way that reflects the character of the Man of Truth (Colossians 1:9-11).  The worthy are those, who live their lives in a way that reflects the holiness of the Man of Truth (1 Thessalonians 2:10-12).

The worthy are those, who love the Man of Truth more than their own family (Matthew 10:34-37).  The worthy are those, who suffer persecution for obeying the Man of Truth (2 Thessalonians 1:4-5).

The Man of Truth has not called us to survive the Tribulation, even if some Old Tom, a snake in the leaves, may have tried to entice you to buy "Tribulation Survival Gear".

The Man of Truth called us to proclaim the Good News!  He called us to carry out the Great Commission!  He called us to discern, when it is a time for civil disobedience!  He called us to fight for his cause with heroic resolve!  He has called us to give the last full measure of devotion!  He called us to die! 

He called us to die, in order to live with him (Matthew 16:24-27)!  He called us to die, and never be ashamed of the Gospel, or his glorious name (Mark 8:34-38)!  He called us to die, and give up all that we have for his kingdom (Mark 10:21-22)!  He called us to die, and to put obedience to him in front of everything else we desire (Luke 9:23-26)!

The worthy are those, who are willing to die to obey the Man of Truth (Matthew 10:38-39).

He wants to avoid the endless pursuit of getting bigger, better, newer stuff.   He want us to avoid just giving to get.  He wants us escaping the Christmas Trap.  He wants our time, talents, and treasure to be spent on bringing people into his kingdom, because that is all that really matters.

He certainly does not want us wasting these things, in order to survive the Tribulation.  After all, the Children of Truth are literally better off dead.  The moment I die, will be the moment I become alive!

Even the Children of Truth, who go through the Tribulation, because they were not worthy to escape, will be fed and clothed in the Tribulation, if they will seek after the kingdom of the Man of Truth (Luke 12:29-32).

Those who are found worthy to be counted in that number, are those use these things to pursue the kingdom of the Man of Truth, instead storing them up to survive the Tribulation (Luke 12:33-34).

Therefore, the Man of Truth warns us to not be caught up in things like these, that distract us from doing what will make us worthy to be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in (Luke 21:34).

The Man of Truth warns the Children of Truth to live worthy to be counted in that number, all of the time (Matthew 24:42-44).  He warns the Children of Truth to stay worthy, because they do not know when He is coming to meet them in the air (Luke 12:35-40).  Those who stay worthy, will be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in, instead of suffering in the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 5:2-9).

So when the trumpet sounds, during your celebration of Yom Teruah (The Feast of Trumpets aka Rosh Hashanah), or any other time, let it remind you to live worthy to be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in.

Of course, no one can be counted in that number, when the saints go marching in, unless they first come into the House of Truth.  You start being worthy, when you decide to obey the Man of Truth in everything, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Real Jews

Are the people in Israel today really Jews?

I have heard some people, who call themselves "Christians", say that the land in modern Israel does not belong to the Jews, who live in Israel.  They claim that it belongs to the so-called Palestinians.

They are in opposition to the only Middle East peace plan that works.  They do not consider, what brought about the death of the Celtic Tiger.  They do not recognize, that modern Israel is part of the Promised Land, which the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) promised to the Jews.

These "Christians" are no different those who say, that it was the Jews, who killed the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

However, I have heard something completely different, from some people who call themselves "Messianic" or "Hebrew Roots", regarding the Jews that live in Israel.  They say that the Jews, who live in Israel, especially those who have white skin, particularly from Europe, are not really Jews at all.

These white skin Jews are called Ashkenazi Jews, because they lived among the descendants of Ashkenaz, in places like Germany and France.

One of the most popular claims regarding Ashkenazi Jews in Europe, is that they are not Jews at all, but really Khazars.  Therefore, these Europeans who started mass immigrating to modern Israel, beginning in about 1870 AD, were not Jews immigrating back to the Promised Land, but were actually invading Khazars.

Khazars were an ancient group of Turkic nomads, who formed a kingdom in southeastern Europe around 650 AD.  This kingdom was called the Khazar Khaganate, but was more commonly referred to simply as Khazaria.

Khazaria was a large country in southeast Europe, approximately the size of Iran.  It stretched from Kiev in the west, then south to the shores of the Black Sea, then all the way along the Black Sea to the Caucus Mountains in the south, then east to the shores of the Caspian Sea, then all the way along the Caspian Sea to the Ural River in the east, then north along the Ural River to Samara, then west to Voronezh in the north, and finally southwest from there back to Kiev.

The area that the Khazars effectively ruled, was twice as large as Khazaria itself.  This area extended west to Bulgaria, south to Armenia, east to the Aral Sea, and north to Kazan.  These were vassal kingdoms, and areas dominated by nomadic groups, who all paid tribute to the king of Khazaria.

Khazaria flourished until it was brought down within a single generation by the Russians, ending with the destruction of their capital, Atil, in 968 AD.  The Khazars finally completed faded from history, after their final defeat by the Polovtsi in 1106 AD.

During this 150 year or so period of Khazaria collapsing, many of the Khazars were scattered to surrounding countries, as far west as Germany, as far south as Arabia, as far east as China, and as far north as Russia.  The Kazakhs of Kazakhstan are among their descendants. (Kazakh comes from the same ancient Turkic word as Khazar, which means "to wander".)

So some people say, that the people in Europe called Ashkenazi Jews, are really not Jews at all, but are instead Turkic Khazars, who were forced to immigrate to Germany.  Could this be true?

This idea that Ashkenazi Jews are really Turkic Khazars, does not fit in with the historical facts concerning the Khazars, whenever anyone considers the entire history of Khazaria.

The Khazars over time came to not be composed of a single ethnic group, but composed of many ethnic groups, who all identified themselves as Khazars, due to being part of the Khazar Khaganate, which is usually usually referred to simply as Khazaria.

(This is similar to how Americans are not composed of a single ethnic group, but people of many different ethnic groups, who all identify themselves as Americans, due to being part of the United States of America, which is usually referred to simply as America.)

There was persecution of Jews in the neighboring Byzantine Empire and Islamic (Arab) Caliphate, from the earliest days of the Khazaria until it came to an end.  All during this time, Jews fled to Khazaria, which served as a refuge for these Jews, because if its policy of religious freedom.  So there were Khazar Jews living in Khazaria, just like there are American Jews living in America.  These Khazar Jews would have identified themselves as citizens of Khazaria, just as American Jews would identify themselves as citizens of the United States.

However, these Jews gained a greater influence on the Khazar rulers, than any other country in history.

The Khazars were originally practicers of Tengrism, which was a religion of idols and nature worship.  Over time, some of them joined the False Church of Rome through the efforts of the Byzantine Empire.  Other Khazars became Muslims through the efforts of the Islamic Caliphate.  However, many of them became Jews though the influence of Jews, who lived in Khazaria. 

This reached its climax, after King Bulan converted to Judaism in 740 AD.  He did this, after asking leaders of the False Church of Rome, Islam, and Judaism, what religion would they prefer to see Khazaria adopt, if it did not adopt their religion.  Both the False Church of Rome representatives, and Islamic representatives, said Judaism.

So after that, the Khazar rulers took on Jewish names, and promoted Judaism as the preferred religion in Khazaria.  In fact, Judaism became so common in Khazaria, that many people of other nations thought that all Khazars were Jews, despite the testimony of their own history books and kings.  As late as 950 AD, the Jewish foreign secretary of the Cordoba Caliphate (Islamic Spain) wrote to the king of Khazaria, thanking him for making a new homeland for the Jews.  You could say, that Khazaria became the Jew York City of the medieval world.

So when Khazars immigrated to Germany during the collapse of Khazaria, some of them were Jews by ancestry, and many of them were Jews by religion.  In other words, Jews immigrated into Germany with other Khazars, during the period of the collapse of Khazaria.

Also, this idea that Ashkenazi Jews are really Turkic Khazars, does not fit in with the historical facts concerning Europeans, whenever anyone considers the entire history of the Europe.

Jews have been in Europe for centuries, before Turkic Khazars ever immigrated to Germany.  In fact, there have been Jews in Germany, long before Khazaria even existed, possibly even a thousand years earlier.

There have been Jews living in Europe for almost three thousand years.  Herodotus, the father of history, wrote that there were Jews living among the Greeks before 700 BC.  According to Homer, from around the same time period, the famous Spartans were originally called Danaoi, the sons of Dan, before they were called Spartans, after the city of Sparta that they built.  This would place Jews living in Europe to be before 1000 BC.   In fact, the history of the Jews and the Greeks is so entangled, that it can best be described as Greco-Judeo Wrestling.

Jews lived among the Greeks, in the colonies that the Greeks formed along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and then migrated inland from there.  The Romans called this area of Greek colonization, "Magna Graecia" (Great Greece).  Rome itself was in the area of Magna Graecia.  In fact, modern archeology has shown that during the time of the Apostles of Truth, 70% of the inhabitants of Rome spoke Greek as their primary language.  For this reason, there is evidence of Jews living in Rome from the days of the founding of the Roman Republic.  In fact, in Italy today, the Italians say that the Jews have lived among them for over 2500 years.

Jews were so embedded in Roman society during the time of the Roman Republic, that they were able to help Julius Caesar rise to power.  In fact, his title "Caesar" came from the Jews. ("Kaesar" in Greek, which came from "K'sar" in Hebrew.  It means "Like a Prince" in Hebrew.)  Also, Herod the Great, king of the Jews, came in with an army at the battle of Actium (in Greece), which saved Julius Casear from almost certain defeat in his final battle with Marc Anthony.

It is for these reasons, that Julius Caesar created the Juris Judaica (The Law of The Jews) that made Judaism a Religio Licita (permitted religion).  He also declared that synagogues were schools of learning, which permitted Jews to legally meet indoors, instead of being forced to meet outdoors in forums and agoras (market places).  This is why the Yiddish word for a synagogue is "schul" (literally "school") to this day.

The next Roman Emperor, Augustus, began occupying Germany, near the border of France, by 23 BC at the latest.  Jews could have been part of his troops, as they were in other cases.  During his reign, the major fortress at Mainz (Mogontiacum) was created, and then the Romans secured the border of Roman Germany at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD.

So when Romans destroyed Jerusalem at the end of the Great Revolt in 70 AD, they scattered the surviving Jews all over their empire to their major cities, particularly those on the borders, where there were issues of barbarian incursions.  They did so on a larger scale, after they destroy the province of Judaea, when they put down the Kochba Rebellion in 135 AD .  (The Romans had so secured this part of Germany, that they made it part of a new province called "Germania Superior" in 85 AD.)

So, the testimony of Roman historians about the dealings of the Romans with the rebellious Jews, includes their scattering the Jews across the Roman Empire, and especially into the fortresses along the edges of the Roman Empire.  Therefore, it is likely that there have been Jews in Germany, since some time shortly after 70 AD, and almost certainly before 200 AD.

For example, Josephus stated in 90 AD, that the Jews living in Europe were primarily from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah. These tribes composed most of the Jews who lived in Jerusalem, the effective capital city of the Roman province of Judaea.  He wrote that most of the other ten tribes lived outside of the Roman Empire, mostly to the east of it.

Jews from various parts of the Roman Empire continued to relocate to Germania Superior, until the Romans lost control of the area, when the Roman Empire came to an end shortly after 400 AD.  During the next four hundred years, Jews from various locations near the Mediterranean Sea were expelled from those kingdoms, and some of them immigrated to the area of Germania Superior.

For example, the Visigoth ruler Sisebut expelled the Jews from Spain and Mediterranean France in 610 AD.  In response, many Jews fled inland to Frankish Empire.  They were obviously in the former area of Germania Superior, when they were then expelled from there, by the Frankish ruler Dagobert 1 in 629 AD.  They then either fled to other areas, which were not under Frankish control at the time, including Bavaria, or remained hidden in the Frankish Empire, like some Jews had done in the Visigoth kingdom.

The first documented case of Jews living in England was in 691 AD.  However, there were undoubtedly Jews there from the times, when the Romans scattered them to the cities near the borders of the Roman Empire.  This would have included Londinium, the capital of Britannia, but any documentation of these Jewish slaves, was undoubtedly lost after the Roman Empire collapsed.

Then Charlemagne became the king of the Franks in 742 AD.  He granted Jews throughout the Frankish Empire the same protections that they had enjoyed under the Romans.  This turned the Frankish Empire into a safe haven for western European Jews, similar to how Khazaria had became a safe haven for eastern European and western Asian Jews.  This lead to Jews, who were being persecuted in other places in Europe, particularly Italy, to mass migrate to the former area of Germania Superior, and even further into modern Germany, as the empire of Charlemagne continued to expand.  This protection of the Jews in Germany was solidified, when the Pope crowned him as the new Emperor of the Romans in 800 AD.

The descendants of Charlemagne then continued to be crowned as the Emperor of Rome, and the Holy Roman Empire was born in 962 AD.  This was just six years before the Russians destroyed the capital of Khazaria, when the majority of Khazars, who were forced to move to the former area of Germania Superior, left Khazaria.  This Empire continued until 1806 AD.  (This was the Second Reich, the First Reich being the Roman Empire, that Hitler hoped to recreate into a Third Reich.)

So, when Khazar Jews arrived in the former area of Germania Superior, which included northeast France and southwest Germany, they were really a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies.  Jews, who came in previous immigrations from various areas inside the Roman Empire, had been living in this area for over six hundred years or more.

These Jews, who had immigrated from various locations, including Greece, Italy, Spain, and Khazaria, were isolated from the main Sephardic Jews, who dominated the rest of Europe.  So they united and formed a new community, which was called the Ashkenazi Jews.  (Rashi confirms that they had done so in his commentary on the Ashkenazi Jews, after he visited them some time around 1070 AD.)

These Ashkenazi Jews acquired white skin over the centuries, for the same reasons that African Jews acquired black skin over the centuries, and Chinese Jews acquired epicanthic eyelids (folded eyelids) over the centuries - inter-racial marriage.  The unromantic truth - that people will marry, or at least breed with, the available population - has never changed.

The history of the Ashkenazi Jews from the time of Charlemagne is well document.  These Jews became so similar in appearance to their neighbors, that they were forced to wear distinguishing clothing, and take on different surnames, just so they could not completely assimilate into the surrounding population.  The people that the Ashkenazi Jews have lived among, have never let them forget that they are Jews, even at times when the entire Ashkenazi Jewish community sought to mass assimilate, to end the persecution that they suffered for being Jews.

(I know a Jewish man, who was able to trace the migration of his family to America all the way back to the modern German state of Saarland (on the border of France), which was near the center of the former area of Germania Superior.  Saarland was also inside the Frankish Empire ruled by Charlemagne.  He had traced the linage of his family living in Saarland to 800 AD.  He knew that his ancestors had arrived there before that, but he was not sure exactly when they arrived, or where they had migrated from.)

This history of Ashkenazi Jews can be seen in their very DNA today.  Their DNA contains markers of the Western Europeans, who they lived among, but they also have a strong prescence of markers for Mediterranean Europeans, where most of the Jews migrated to France and Germany from, and of course, the distinctive Middle Eastern markers that identify them as Jews.  Very few have any Turkic markers, which are present in the descendants of the Turkic Khazars.  This means that Khazar Jews were a very small minority, when the Ashkenazi Jewish community was formed.

In like manner, this idea that Ashkenazi Jews are really Turkic Khazars, does not fit in with the historical facts concerning modern Israelis, whenever anyone considers the entire history of modern Israel.

The Impossible Country, modern Israel, was created almost entirely through the efforts of Ashkenazi Jews and Christian Zionists, pursuing the Impossible Dream.

These Ashkenazi Jews did not create a homeland, to absorb just Ashkenazi Jews. The majority of Jews without white skin today, have been identified as Jews through the efforts of Ashkenazi Jews.  Ashkenazi Jews have worked tirelessly searching for groups of Jews, scattered throughout the world, and relocating them to Israel as well.  Ashkenazi Jews have made great sacrifices to absorb Jews of every background into the nation of Israel.

For example, these Ashkenazi Jews have done research using the DNA of Ashkenazi Jews, who were known to be descendants of Aaron, the first High Priest, by the surnames that they took on in Europe, to isolate the Cohen Modal Haplotype.  This genetic marker has been used to confirm that Jews in remote Zimbabwe, like the Lemba tribe, are indeed descendants of Aaron, as they claim.  They have developed other techniques, to verify that other remote people groups, are also Jews.  The claim of the majority of non-Ashkenazi Jews to their right to live in Israel, relies heavily upon the work done by Ashkenazi Jews, to verify their Jewish ancestry.

So, the Ashkenazi Jews have led the way in making it possible, for Sephardic, Mizrahi Jews (like Paula Abdul), and countless other groups of Jews, to return to the land of Israel.  In fact, they have worked so hard at this, that today less than 48% of Jews in Israel are Ashkenazi Jews.

Turkic Khazars, who are not Jews, would not make such great efforts to create a Jewish homeland.  They certainly would not locate, bring in, and absorb groups of Jews from all over the world, regardless of their skin color, or cultural background, at great strain to their own economy, while constantly fighting with the Muslim nations that surround them.  They certainly would not bring in enough Jews from other places to lose their majority status, both among all Israelis, and among Israeli Jews.

Most importantly, this idea that Ashkenazi Jews are really Turkic Khazars, does not fit in with the facts concerning the Jews, whenever anyone considers the entire Book of Truth (The Bible).

There were already Jews living in Crete, the cradle of European civilization, when the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:5-11).  Jews had been living Crete for hundreds of years, before the Jews were ever scattered by the Romans.

There were already Jews living in Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, when the Spirit of Truth was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:5-10).  Jews had been living in Rome, before they were expelled - before Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) reached Corinth (Acts 18:1-2).  Paul the Jew met with many Jews, who lived in Rome, after he arrived there (Acts 28:16-29).  Paul the Jew had previously written, that he longed to come to Rome to preach to the Jews, who lived there (Romans 1:15-16).  Jews had been living Rome for hundreds of years, before the Jews were ever scattered by the Romans.

Paul the Jew preached to Jews in the synagogue in Thessaloniki, Greece (Acts 17:1-3).  He preached to the Jews in the synagogue in Berea, Greece (Acts 17:10-11).  He preached to the Jews in the synagogue in Athens, Greece (Acts 17:16-17).  He preached to the Jews in the synagogue in Corinth, Greece (Acts 18:1-8).  Jews had been living in Greece for hundreds of years, before the Jews were ever scattered by the Romans.

Paul the Jew even planned on going to Spain to preach to Jews there, whom he always preached to before preaching to the Gentiles, when he went to Rome, instead of ending up imprisoned in Rome (Romans 15:24-28).  Jews had been living in Spain for hundreds of years, before the Jews were ever scattered by the Romans.

So the Book of Truth plainly shows, that the Jews had already been living in Mediterranean Europe for hundreds of years, before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

There were already Jews living in Pontus, a Roman province which became the part of the Byzantine Empire, which bordered Khazaria, when the Spirit of Truth was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:5-9).  Aquila the Jew had been born in Pontus (Acts 18:2).  Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simon aka Cephas aka The Apostle Peter) went to Pontus, to preach to Jews, who lived as strangers among the Gentiles there (1 Peter 1:1-5).  Jews had been living in the area, that became the part of the Byzantine Empire near Khazaria, since the time of the Persian Empire, hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

There were already Jews living in Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, all Roman provinces, which became part of the Byzantine Empire, when the Spirit of Truth was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:9-10).  Paul the Jew preached to Jews in a synagogue in Antioch Pisidia, a city in the Roman province of Galatia, that became part of the Byzantine Empire (Acts 13:14-16).  Paul the Jew preached to Jews in a synagogue in Iconium, a city in Roman province of Galatia (Acts 14:1)   Paul the Jew preached to Jews in Derbe and Lystra, cities in Roman province of Galatia (Acts 16:1-4).  Paul the Jew preached to Jews in a synagogue in Ephesus, the capital of the Roman province of Asia, which became part of the Byzantine Empire (Acts 18:19). Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simon aka Cephas aka The Apostle Peter) also went to Galatia, Asia, and Bithynia, all Roman provinces, which became part of the Byzantine Empire, to preach to Jews, who lived as strangers among the Gentiles there (1 Peter 1:1-5).  Jews had been living in the Roman provinces that became the Byzantine Empire, for hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

So, the Book of Truth plainly shows, that the Jews had already been living in the area of the Byzantine Empire, where they would flee to Khazaria from, hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

There were already Jews living in Cappadocia, a Roman province which became the part of the Islamic Caliphate, which bordered Khazaria, when the Spirit of Truth was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:9).  Peter the Jew went to Cappadocia, to preach to Jews, who lived as strangers among the Gentiles there (1 Peter 1:1-2).  Jews had been living in the area, that became the part of the Islamic Caliphate near Khazaria, since the time of the Persian Empire, hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

There were already Jews living in Judaea, Egypt, and Libya, all Roman provinces which became the part of the Islamic Caliphate, when the Spirit of Truth was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:7-10).  Paul the Jew preached in synagogues of the Jews living in Damascus, the capital of the Roman province of Syria, which became the part of the Islamic Caliphate (Acts 9:19-20).  Paul the Jew preached in the synagogue at Salamis, Cyprus, and encountered Jews at Paphos, the capital of the Roman province of Cyprus, which became the part of the Islamic Caliphate (Acts 13:4-6).  Jews had been living in the Roman provinces that became the part of the Islamic Caliphate, for hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

There were already Jews living in Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, and Arabia, all countries out side of the Roman Empire, which became the part of the Islamic Caliphate, when the Spirit of Truth was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:9-11).  Peter the Jew, the Apostle to the Jews, even started a congregation in Babylon, the capital of Mesopotamia (1 Peter 5:13).  Jews had been living in countries outside of the Roman Empire, which became the part of the Islamic Caliphate, for hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

So the Book of Truth plainly shows, that the Jews had already been living in the area of the Islamic Caliphate, where they would flee to Khazaria from, hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

Joseph, the son of Jacob (Yah'acob aka Israel), married an Egyptian woman when he lived in Egypt (Genesis 46:19-20).  The Jews who had returned from the exile in Babylon in 539 BC, started intermarrying with the Gentiles, who had since came in to inhabit the land of Judah (Ezra 9:1-2).  The Jews had also intermarried with the Gentiles, who inhabited the Promised Land, before they had went into exile in Babylon in 609 BC (Psalm 106:34-35).  The Jews had a long and consistent history, of intermarrying with the people, who they have lived among, thousands of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

There were already Jews living in Phrygia, a Roman province that was occupied by the people group, who would later migrate to Scandinavia, the northern most part of Europe, when the Spirit of Truth was poured out on those in the upper room (Acts 2:10).  There were Jews living in Cilicia, the land of the Celts, who formed a synagogue in Jerusalem with Greek speaking Jews from other places (Acts 6:9).   [Kel-ik-ee-ah in Greek - land of the Celts.]  Paul the Jew preached in a synagogue in Iconium to Jews, who lived among the Galatians there (Acts 14:1-2).  ["Galatia" means "land of the milk white", and was so named by the Greeks, due to the milk white skin of the Galatians, who lived there.]  Peter the Jew preached to the Jews, who lived in Galatia, whose capital was Germanicopolis (literally, "City of the Germans") (1 Peter 1:1).  [These were of the same ethnic group as the inhabitants of Germania Superior, for Jerome testified around 400 AD, that the Galatians and the inhabitants of Germania Superior, could still speak to each other through their common language Gallic (Gaelic).]  Jews had been living among white skinned people for hundreds of years, before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

The Jews, who lived among Gentiles, like the white skinned Galatians, often intermarried with those Gentiles, like the mother of Timothy the Jew (Timotheus aka The Apostle Timothy) had done (Acts 16:1-3).  Also Paul the Jew, was a Jew born in Cilicia, and was likely to have had white skin, like the Ashkenazi Jews, through intermarriage by his ancestors (Acts 21:39).  There had been white skinned Jews for hundreds of years, before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

So the Book of Truth plainly shows, that the Jews had intermarried with the same ethnic group as those, who lived in Germania Superior, where Ashkenazi Jews formed their identity, and some had already obtained white skin, like the Ashkenazi Jews, hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

In summary, the Book of Truth plainly shows that there were Mediterranean Jews living in Europe, Jews living in the areas of the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Caliphate, that bordered Khazaria, and that there were white skinned Jews, with the same basic genetic composition as Ashkenazi Jews, living hundreds of years before the Jews were scattered by the Romans.

So, all of the pieces were already in place, before the Romans scattered the Jews, for the Ashkenazi Jews to have their identity formed in the area of Germania Superior, a thousand of years later.  There were Mediterranean European Jews in place to move into Germania Superior.  There were Jews in the Asian part of the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Caliphate to immigrate into Khazaria . There even already white skinned Jews, who could have migrated to either Germania Superior directly, or indirectly through Khazaria, from the area of the Byzantine Empire.

However, this is far from all that the Book of Truth says about the Ashkenazi Jews being real Jews - and not Turkic Khazars.

The Father of Truth said, that he would bring back the Jewish people from all of the Earth, including the lands of the north and west, where the Ashkenazi Jews have lived (Isaiah 43:5-6). He said, that the Jews would come back to Israel from the north and west, the places of the Ashkenazi Jews, as well as the land of China (Sinim) (Isaiah 49:12-13).  He said, that He would begin with the Jews who were scattered to the north - the Ashkenazi Jews (Jeremiah 3:12-14).  He said, that a greater number of Jews would come into the land of Israel from the north, than came out of the land of Egypt, as has happened with the Ashkenazi Jews, who came from places like Russia (Jeremiah 16:14-15).  He said, he would bring home the Ashkenazi Jews from the north (Jeremiah 31:8).  He said, that he would bring many Jews back to the land of Israel from the West as well, where many Ashkenazi Jews have lived (Zechariah 8:6-8).

So the Father of Truth has brought the Ashkenazi Jews back to the land of Israel, to form the nation of Israel, after more than 1700 years.  The Book of Truth makes it plain, that the Greatest Zionist was responsible for Ashkenazi Jews forming the modern nation of Israel.

Ashkenazi Jews were the first of the Impossible People that He brought back into the land of Israel.  Ashkenazi Jews were used by Him to restore fertility to the Impossible Land.  Ashkenazi Jews were used by Him to restore the Impossible Language to every day use in the land of Israel.  Ashkenazi Jews were used by Him to bring about the Impossible Healthcare in the land of Israel.  He recruited Ashkenazi Jews to raise up the Impossible Military in the land of Israel.  He gave wealth to Ashkenazi Jew to create the Impossible Economy in the land of Israel.  He used Ashkenazi Jews to formed the Impossible Government that rules over the land of Israel.

There is no doubt that the Ashkenazi Jews are real Jews, and that the Ashkenazi Jews, who live in Israel, are real Jews.

So this idea that Ashkenazi Jews are really Turkic Khazars, instead of Jews, does not agree with what the Book of Truth says.  It is also contrary to the history of Khazaria, Europe, and modern Israel.  So where did this idea come from?

This deception has entered into many congregations of the Children of Truth, as part of the hidden danger that seeks to destroy their congregations from within.  The Children of Truth often fail to recognize that there is a snake in the leaves, who is using their mouth to inject this venom into their congregation, whether they call themselves "Christians", or "Messianics".

This lie is meant to sow discord among the Children of Truth, to keep them from carrying out the Great Commission. The ultimate goal of this lie is to keep people from coming into the House of Truth.

This doctrine is part of the Doctrine of Lies.  It is just one of the many strategies of the Spirit of Anti-Jewism, to raise up trouble against the Jewish people in Israel.

However, this effort will ultimately fail, because the real Christians will stand up for Israel, and the Ashkenazi Jews who live there.  They will overcome this lie with the Doctrine of Truth.

This lie - that the Ashkenazi Jews in Israel are not real Jews, but Turkic Khazars - is very serious.

This is lie is serious, because it keeps people from seeing, that the Father of Truth is working to fulfill His promise to King David, concerning the Man of Truth ruling over Israel (1 Kings 9:5).  This lie is serious, because it prevents people from seeing, that the Father of Truth has been bringing to pass His promise concerning the people of Israel (Jeremiah 33:7-14).  This lie is serious, because it prevents people from seeing, that the Father of Truth has been keeping His promises to the people of Israel (Romans 9:4).  This lie is serious, because it keeps the Children of Truth from seeing, that the Father of Truth has been keeping His promises to them (Ephesians 2:11-13).  This lie is serious, because whoever denies the plain evidence that the Father of Truth has been keeping His promises, makes Him out to be a liar (1 John 5:10).

If you have been bearing false witness against the Ashkenazi Jews in Israel, and sowing discord among the Children of Truth with this lie, then you had better repent, for the Father of Truth hates everyone who does this (Proverbs 6:16-19).  All liars will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8).

If you have been spreading this lie in ignorance, you need to repent for doing so, now that you know the truth (Acts 17:30).  The Father of Truth does not want to destroy you for spreading this lie, but He desires that you repent for doing this, so that you will not perish (2 Peter 3:9).  The Father of Truth will forgive you for this sin, if you will confess that you have been repeating this lie (1 John 1:9).

Like every lie, this lie ultimately originated with the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) (John 8:44).

Your father is known by who you imitate (John 8:38).  Your father is the Father of Truth, if you will fight this lie with the truth (1 John 1:5-7).  Your father is not the Father of Truth, if you continue to spread this lie (1 John 3:10).

The Father of Truth will become your father, if you will come into the House of Truth (John 1:12-13).  If you come into the House of Truth, then you will be lead by the Spirit of Truth (Romans 8:13-15).  If you will make the Man of Truth your king, because you believe that the Father of Truth kept His promise to raise him from the dead, then you will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:9).  When you come into the House of Truth, then you will obey the commandment of your Father to walk in truth (2 John 1:4).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Impossible Country

What is the most astounding proof that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) exists today?

Sometimes I call my youngest daughter, Savannah, "The Impossible Girl".

I call her this, because so many things about her are impossible to exist, but yet they do.  These things defy everything about a materialistic world view.  These things about her make a mockery of the creation myth of human secularists, which is the greatest fairy tale ever told.

These things are not speculative theories, or wild stories.  These things are documented facts, that I my family, and dozens of other people have witnessed first hand.

None of these things happened by accident, or because we were just somehow impossibly lucky.   They did not happen because I was so brilliant or clever, that I caused them to happen.  They happened because we surrendered control of our lives the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

These things are astounding proof that the Father of Truth exists today.

However, I would never ask anyone to just take my word for any of this.  The people who have been involved in our lives, know that these things are true.  We can dig up the documentation to prove that these things really happened, but how would people know that these documents were not fraudulent in some manner?

The fact is, that people do not need to know us, or to see the documentation, or verify that the documentation is genuine, to know that everything did not just apoofed into existence on its own for no reason.  All they really need for astounding proof that the Father of Truth exists today, is a map of the Middle East.

They may never meet The Impossible Girl, Savannah, who is doing what is impossible for her to be doing, but they can all visit The Impossible Country, Israel, that is doing what is impossible for it to be doing.

Like The Impossible Girl, it is impossible for The Impossible Country to exist, and yet it exists.

Here are a few of the reasons that Israel is The Impossible Country.

Israel is The Impossible Country, because it is a populated with the Impossible People.  The people of Israel were scattered throughout every country on Earth for over 1,700 years, and then regathered to land of Israel to reform their original people again.  The people of Israel are impossible to exist, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

Israel is The Impossible Country, because it sits on the Impossible Land.  The land of Israel was a barren wasteland for over 1,700 years, and then returned to being one of the most fertile places on Earth.  The land of Israel is impossible to be fertile, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

Israel is The Impossible Country, because its people speak the Impossible Language.  The language of Israel was not spoken by anyone for almost 1,300 years, and then returned to being one of the most widespread spoken languages on Earth.  The language of Israel is impossible to be spoken, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

Israel is The Impossible Country, because of the Impossible Healthcare that is there.  The land of Israel became disease ridden for almost 1,900 years, and then returned to being one of the healthiest places on Earth.  The healthcare of Israel is impossible to be great, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

Israel is The Impossible Country, because it is defended by the Impossible Military.  The military of Israel was wiped off the face of the Earth, and then came back as one of the strongest militaries on Earth - 1,800 years later.  The military of Israel is impossible to be strong, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

Israel is The Impossible Country, because of the Impossible Economy that operates there.  The economy of Israel was in continual decline for about 1,800 years, and then recovered to become one of the strongest economies on Earth.  The economy of Israel is impossible to thrive, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

Israel is The Impossible Country, because it is ruled by the Impossible Government.  The government of Israel, operating under independent rule, was an impossible dream for over 2,000 years, and then came back into existence in a single day.  The government of Israel is impossible to exist, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

It was beyond the ability of Christian Zionists, pursuing the impossible dream, to bring about the Impossible Country in their own strength.  The country of Israel is impossible to exist, in a world where the Father of Truth does not exist.

As David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, said, "In Israel, in order to be a realist, you must believe in miracles.".  Still, the question becomes: what changed after so many centuries, to cause the miracles to start happening?

None of these things happened by accident, or because the Jews were just somehow impossibly lucky.  They did not happen because the Jews was so brilliant or clever, that they caused them to happen.  They happened because the Jews began to come back to the Greatest Zionist.

Right before the Ashkenazi Jews began to stream back into the Promised Land, they began to return to the Father of Truth, by obeying the Man of Truth, that Prophet like unto Moses, written about in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law).  These were not forced conversions by the False Church of Rome, but genuine changes of heart that came after reading the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) for themselves.

The beginning of this shift started in 1809 AD, when Christian Zionists in England formed The London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst The Jews (aka The London Jews Society).  This was the first serious effort to reach Jews through the writings of the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament), not forced conversion, since Judaea had been destroyed in 135 AD.  In 1813 AD, the Jews reached by this society, formed the first Jewish congregation in about 1500 years.  These Christian Zionists also sent missionaries to reach Ashkenazi Jews across northern Europe - all the way to Russia.  Many of the members of this society were Jews, who had previously came into the House of Truth on their own volition.

Among these Ashkenazi Jews was Alfred Edersheim, who not only wrote many books explaining the Jewishness of the Man of Truth to Gentile Children of Truth, starting around 1845 AD, but who also wrote many papers and books explaining to Ashkenazi Jews that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel.  Jehiel Lichtenstein, another Ashkenazi Jew, translated the entire Renewed Covenant into Hebrew from Greek around 1860 AD, and used it to bring many Jews to faith in the Man of Truth.  Also in 1860 AD, Beni Abraham, an Ashkenazi Jew, started the first congregation entirely composed of Jewish Children of Truth in modern times.  In 1864 AD, Yitzhak (Isaac Edward) Salkinson became a missionary, and began translating many Christian works into Hebrew.  In 1877 AD another Ashkenazi Jew, Franz Delitzsch, created the standard translation of the Renewed Covenant into Hebrew that is still used today, even though it was published four years before Hebrew began to be revived by Ben Yahuda.  In 1880 AD, Delitzsch also founded a school to train missionaries to work among the Jews.  In 1882 AD, Rabbi Joseph Rabinowitz, another Ashkenazi Jew, became a follower of the Man of Truth, and convinced his entire synagogue to do the same.  In 1886 AD, Rabbi Ignatz Lichtenstein, another Ashkenazi Jew, began writing and publishing numerous books, tracts, and articles, specifically aimed at bringing other Ashkenazi Jews into obedience to the Man of Truth, that Prophet like unto Moses.

There had always been a few Ashkenazi Jews, who trickled into the House of Truth, but these seven Ashkenazi Jews, and others like them, caused Ashkenazi Jews to begin to stream into the House of Truth.  Since that time, the number of Ashkenazi Jews who have come into the House of Truth, has steadily increased, from a stream to a brook to a river, until they have reached the point of flooding into the House of Truth today.  There are more Jews, who follow the Man of Truth in Israel today, than anytime since 135 AD, and most of them are Ashkenazi Jews.  There are far more Jews, who have came into the House of Truth outside of Israel, particularly among Ashkenazi Jews in Europe, and countries outside of Europe with large Ashkenazi Jewish populations, like the United States.  As more and more Ashkenazi Jews have come to realize that that it is a Jewish thing to follow the Man of Truth, more and more of them have come into the House of Truth.  These Ashkenazi Jews have in turn been the primary people to bring the Good News to other Jews, particularly those in remote places like Zimbabwe.

When this happened, they set into motion the events, that made the Impossible Country come into existence.  Their repentance concerning that Prophet like unto Moses, the Man of Truth, was the trigger that has caused the cycle of the Jews going to the ends of the Earth and back again, to enter its final phase, which has brought about the Impossible Country.

It is certain that the Father of Truth brought the Impossible Country back into existence, for He had all of it written in the Original Covenant - more than 2,000 years before any of it occurred.  He laid out the pattern of destruction for rejection of the Man of Truth, and then restoration for repentance, very clearly in His Word.

This rejection of the Man of Truth, and then repentance, is why the people of Israel were scattered from the land of Israel, remained so for about 1700 years, and then were gathered back to the land of Israel.

The Father of Truth warned the people of Israel, that if they would not obey His voice, which was spoken by that Prophet like unto Moses, who spoke only words that the Father of Truth gave him, then He would pluck them out of the Promised Land, and would scatter them across the entire Earth, where they would live in constant fear and trouble (Deuteronomy 28:62-67).

The Father of Truth promised the people of Israel, that when they began making a commitment to obey His voice, that was spoken through that Prophet like unto Moses, while still scattered all over the Earth, then He would begin to bring them back into the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 30:1-3).

This rejection of the Man of Truth, and then repentance, is why the land of Israel became desolate, remained desolate for about 1700 years, and then became fertile again.

The Father of Truth warned the people of Israel, that if they provoked Him, then He would cut off the rain, so that the land of Israel would no longer produce crops, so they could no longer live there (Deuteronomy 11:17).  He warned them, that He would withhold the rain, and cause the land of Israel to become a desert (Isaiah 5:3-6).  He warned them, that they would responsible for the rain being withheld from the land of Israel, if they rebelled against Him (Jeremiah 5:20-25).

The Father of Truth warned the people of Israel, that if they did not listen to Him, including what He said about that Prophet like unto Moses, then the land of Israel would no longer produce crops (Leviticus 26:18-20).  He warned them, that a powerful nation, like the Roman Empire, would totally destroy every crop that grew in the land of Israel (Joel 1:6-12).  He warned them, when this destruction came, that the livestock, and even the wildlife, would removed from the land of Israel (Joel 1:15-20).

The Father of Truth warned the people of Israel, that even the fish in the Sea of Galilee would be taken away, along with the birds and wild animals off the land of Israel, if they refused to walk in His truth (Hosea 4:1-3).  He warned them, that the fishes of the Sea of Galilee, the birds of the air, and the wild animals of the land, would all be taken away from the land of Israel, if they refused to seek after Him by following His religion (Zephaniah 1:2-6).

The Father of Truth had warned the people of Israel, that the land of Israel would become so desolate, that it would amaze everyone who visited it, like Mark Twain (Leviticus 26:32).   He had warned them, that if they rejected His ways, then the Promised Land would become very desolate (Deuteronomy 29:23-25).  He warned them, that He would cause the mountains of Israel to become desolate, if they did what He found to be abominable (Ezekiel 33:28-29).  He warned them, that the land of Israel would cease to be pleasant, and would become so desolate, that people would not even want to pass through it, when He scattered them among all ethnic groups (Zechariah 7:14).

The Father of Truth said, that the land of Israel would be remain a barren wilderness, instead of a land of fields and forests, until the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) was poured upon the people of Israel (Isaiah 32:15).  He said, that things would change when they accepted His Redeemer, the Man of Truth, so that His Spirit would be upon them, and His Word would be in their mouths (Isaiah 59:20-21).  He said, that the land of Israel would begin to become fruitful again, when He began giving a new heart to those among them, whom He put the Spirit of Truth in (Ezekiel 36:26-30).  He said, that the former and latter rain would returned to the land of Israel, after they began returning to walking in His ways (Hosea 6:1-3).

He began returning the abundance of fish in the Sea of Galilee, along with the birds and wildlife, when the people of Israel began returning to Him and the land of Israel (Isaiah 60:1-5).  He sent the rain again, because those among them who strived to walk in all of His ways for all of their days, by following His Shepard, the Man of Truth, have asked Him to send the rain to the land of Israel (Zechariah 10:1-2).

This rejection of the Man of Truth, and then repentance, is why the language of Israel became extinct, remained so for about 1300 years, and then came back into existence in the land of Israel.

The Father of Truth warned, that He would send oppressors, who spoke in other languages, if the people of Israel did not listen to His voice in their own language, which was spoken through that Prophet like unto Moses (Deuteronomy 28:45-52).  He said, that since they would not listen to His message in their own language, given through that Prophet like unto Moses, then He would speak to them through other people, who spoke another language (Isaiah 28:9-13).  He said, that they would learn to speak in the language of their oppressors, when they were scattered to live in the lands of their oppressors, because they would not listen to His words, which were spoken to them by His Prophet in their own language (Jeremiah 5:15-19).

The Father of Truth began causing the people of Israel to speak plainly in their own language, when they began to submit the Man of Truth, His righteous King (Isaiah 32:1-4).  He began restoring the Hebrew language back to them, when they began call upon the name of the the Man of Truth, to serve the Father of Truth in one accord and humility (Zephaniah 3:9-12).

This rejection of the Man of Truth, and then repentance, is why the land of Israel became full of disease, remained so for about 1900 years, and then became a place of health and healing.

The Father of Truth caused the land of Israel to devour those who tried live in it with disease for about 1900 years (Ezekiel 36:13).

The Father of Truth began to heal the people of Israel of these diseases, when they began to return to keeping the Law of Truth, by obeying that Prophet like unto Moses (Exodus 15:26).  He cause these plagues to be removed from the land of Israel, when those among them, who had new hearts through faith in the Man of Truth, prayed towards Jerusalem for these plagues to be removed (1 Kings 8:37-39).  He has heard their prayers, removed the plagues, and healed the land of Israel, because they humbled themselves by admitting that they had sinned, by rejecting that Prophet like unto Moses, sought the face of the Father of Truth, by coming to know that Prophet like unto Moses, and turned from their wicked ways, by obeying that Prophet like unto Moses (2 Chronicles 7:13-14).  He began to heal the people in the land of Israel, when they began to return to Him (Hosea 6:1).

This rejection of the Man of Truth, and then repentance, is why the military of Israel ceased to be strong, was weak for about 1800 years, and then returned to being strong in the land of Israel.

The Father of Truth warned the people of Israel, that if they walked contrary to Him, like rejecting that Prophet like unto Moses, then their enemies wage war against them, and utterly defeat them in the land of Israel (Leviticus 26:24-25).  He warned them, that He would cause them to flee before their enemies, and be forced out of the land of Israel (Deuteronomy 28:25).

The Father of Truth began giving the people of Israel victory of their enemies in the land of Israel, when they began obey His Angel who spoke His words - the Man of Truth (Exodus 23:20-22).  He began putting the curse of fleeing from the land of Israel in defeat upon the enemies of the people of Israel, when they began to return to obeying that Prophet like unto Moses - the Man of Truth (Deuteronomy 30:7-8).  He began causing their military to become mighty again, after they stopped following shepherds that He did not send, and turned again to following His Shepherd - the Man of Truth (Zechariah 10:3-9).

The military of Israel began becoming strong again in the land of Israel, when the Spirit of Truth began becoming strong again in the people of Israel (Ezekiel 37:10-14).

This rejection of the Man of Truth, and then repentance, is why the economy of the land of Israel went into a deep depression, remained so for about 1800 years, and then quickly became one of the most vibrant economies on Earth.

The Father of Truth warned the people of Israel, that if they would not listen to him in everything, including obeying that Prophet like unto Moses, then He would destroy their real estate market (Leviticus 26:27-32).  He warned them, that if they did not walk in His ways, including obeying that Prophet like unto Moses, then He take away their understanding that allows them to prosper, and they would become impoverished (Deuteronomy 28:28-29).  He warned them, that they would go from lending to the Gentiles, to borrowing from the Gentiles (Deuteronomy 28:43-46).

He caused the wealth of the land of Israel to be taken away for about 1800 years, because they would not walk in his ways, by obeying that Prophet like unto Moses (Isaiah 42:21-24).

The Father of Truth began restoring the real estate market in the land of Israel, when they began to come into obedience to the One Way, which He had provided for them to be able to obey Him from their heart, that Prophet like unto Moses (Jeremiah 32:39-44).  He began restoring their real estate market, when they began receiving a new spirit, the Spirit of Truth, as they were cleansed of their sin (Ezekiel 36:25-33).

The Father of Truth began to make the people of Israel have plenty in the land of Israel, when they began to obey the Law of Truth concerning that Prophet like unto Moses, who turned their hearts to Him (Deuteronomy 30:8-10).  He began causing the people of Israel to prosper in the land of Israel, when they began being cleansed of their sin through faith in the Man of Truth (Jeremiah 33:7-9).

The Father of Truth began making the wealth of the land of Israel increase, when the people of Israel began accepting His covering for sin, the Man of Truth (Psalm 85:1-12).  He began returning wealth to the land of Israel, when the people of Israel began returning to Him through the Holy One of Israel, the Man of Truth, and to the land of Israel (Isaiah 60:6-9).    

This rejection of the Man of Truth, and then repentance, is why the government of Israel became extinct, remained so for about 1800 years, and then came back into existence in the land of Israel.

The Father of Truth promised to give the people of Israel a ruler from their own people, when they were in the land of Israel (Deuteronomy 17:14-15).  He promised that this ruler would rule them in accordance with the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 17:18-20).

The Father of Truth warned the people of Israel, that if they did not obey what He commanded, including obeying that Prophet like unto Moses, then He would cause their enemies to rule over them (Leviticus 26:14-17).  He warned them, that they would serve their enemies, like the Ottoman Turks, since they would not serve Him (Deuteronomy 28:47-48).

The Father of Truth began raising up rulers from among the people of Israel, to rule over them in the land of Israel, when they began to return to obeying Him in the land of Israel (Jeremiah 17:23-25).  He began to do this good thing for them, when they began to come into obedience to the One Way, which He had provided for them to be able to obey Him from their heart, that Prophet like unto Moses (Jeremiah 32:37-42).

It is impossible, for the things that have happened concerning Israel to have happened, in the way that they have happened, often at the hands of Gentiles, who had no knowledge, that they were fulfilling with their actions, what had already been written thousands of years earlier, without the Father of Truth causing these things.  It is absolutely absurd to believe, that Israel just apoofed into existence, on its own, for no reason at all.

The impossible country of Israel is the most astounding proof today, that the Father of Truth exists.

So, it is absolutely foolish to deny the existence of the Father of Truth (Psalm 14:1).  It is absolutely foolish to do so, when the Impossible Country is proof of His existence (Jeremiah 31:35-37).  It is absolutely foolish to do so, when the universe itself is proof of His existence (Romans 1:20-22).

So, even though there are many reasons to be convinced that the Father of Truth made everything, and the Book of Truth (The Bible) really contains His message to the human race, I would be convinced by the existence of Israel alone, if it was the only evidence that there was.

The Book of Truth does not just tell the history of the Impossible Country - before it every occurred.  It also tells the history of the Impossible Man - the Man of Truth.  This history started being written about 2000 years - before any of it ever occurred.

The Book of Truth also provides a reliable history of how the first part of what had been written about the Impossible Man, came to pass about 2000 years ago.

The Prophets of Truth told about the impossible birth of the Man of Truth, centuries before it happened (Isaiah 7:14).  The Man of Truth had this impossible birth, that they had written about centuries earlier (Matthew 1:23).

The Prophets of Truth told about the impossible words spoken by the Man of Truth, centuries before they were spoken (Deuteronomy 18:18).  The Man of Truth spoke these impossible words, that they had written about centuries earlier (John 12:49).

The Prophets of Truth told about the impossible works of the Man of Truth, centuries before they were done (Isaiah 29:18-19).  The Man of Truth performed these impossible works, that they had written about centuries earlier (Luke 7:21-22).

The Prophets of Truth told about the impossible circumstances of the death of the Man of Truth, centuries before they occurred (Psalm 22:1-18).  The Man of Truth died the impossible death, that they had written about centuries earlier (Matthew 27:35-46).

The Prophets of Truth told about the impossible resurrection of the Man of Truth, centuries before it happened (Psalm 16:8-11).  The Man of Truth had this impossible resurrection, that they had written about centuries earlier (Acts 2:25-32).

So, the Impossible Country is astounding proof that the Father of Truth exists, that the Book of Truth contains His message to the human race, and that the Man of Truth is His only means of salvation.

The only reasonable response to the Impossible Country is to come into the House of Truth.

The Father of Truth not only raised the Impossible Country from the dead, but He raised the Man of Truth from the dead (Romans 4:24-25).  He will in like manner raise your life from the dead, if you will come into the House of Truth (Romans 6:2-4).  So, it is only reasonable to come into the House of Truth, by submitting to the Man of Truth in total surrender, since the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
