The COVID-19 Panic

Why is the world in a panic over COVID-19?

This year much of the world is in a crisis from the COVID-19 virus.  In truth, the crisis is not being caused by the COVID-19 virus, as much as the world-wide panic over the COVID-19 virus.

This panic has caused shortages of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies across America as people made run on stores.  People are being told every where to practice "social distancing", meaning keep at least six feet (2 m) away from other people.

Healthy people are seen wearing medical masks everywhere you go.  These masks are more designed to protect other people from the wearer than to protect the wearer from other people.  Yet, it makes people somehow safer to wear a medical mask.

In the US, Israel, and other countries, the panic has caused their governments to virtually quarantine the entire country.  People are being ordered to stay in their homes, except to do things like get groceries and hunt for toilet paper.

Any business dubbed non-essential has been ordered to shut down.  (Strangely, this did not include liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries in Oklahoma, but it did include medical clinics.)  Restaurants had to resort to carry out or delivery only.  Airports and hotels are vacant.

In like manner, places of worship have remained empty on days of worship.

American states, and entire foreign countries, have lock their residences in and everyone else out.  For example, the state of Florida ordered all beaches closed and put up check points on I-95 to keep anyone from New York or New Jersey from entering the state.  Oklahoma City has requested that anyone who leaves the state of Oklahoma to self-quarantine for 14 days after they return to Oklahoma City.

This has led to a total and complete shutdown of entertainment venues.

It has hit basketball hard. The NBA cancelled the rest of its season.  For the first time ever, March Madness, the NCAA championship has been cancelled.

Hockey also took quite a hit, canceling the rest of its season.  There will probably be no Stanley Cup for 2020.

It will also impact baseball and soccer, causing their seasons to start late and be abbreviated at best.  Even the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo have been postponed until 2021. 

No sport has been able to continue as normal due to the COVID-19 Panic.  If the COVID-19 Panic continues long enough, it will even affect the American football season.

Of course, the same is true for all forms of entertainment that rely on large audiences being physically present, like concerts.

Movie theaters have been shutdown.  Even the Admiral Twin, one of the last drive-in theaters in America, has been shutdown.  This has virtually destroyed the entire box office business.

This panic has wrecked havoc on the economy.

The longest bull market in history came to an abrupt end.  The all-time record for the stock market was set on February 12, 2020 when the market started going down significantly for the first time since March 11, 2009.

The Market fell by three record single day falls beginning on March 9, 2020.  By March 11, it had fell by 20%, the same amount as the month of October, 1929, which led to the Great Depression.  As of today, the last day of March 2020, it is down 27%, a new record for a single month drop.

What has driven this unprecedented drop in the stock market?

The COVID-19 Panic caused it.

Lots of investors began cashing out their stocks out of fear that they would need liquid assets to survive what they imagined was the approaching apocalypse.  As stock prices fell, other investors cashed out their stocks as well to prevent themselves from losing money.  This was a vicious cycle driven entirely by fear.

The smart investors are going buy these undervalued stock created by the COVID-19 Panic.  This will create an even larger gap between the richest 1% and everyone else, after the COVID-19 Panic ends.

However, it is not just the stock market that has suffered from the COVID-19 Panic.  It is also hit the job market, particularly the lowest wage earners in society.

Unemployment rates in America were at a fifty year low before the COVID-19 Panic began.  More importantly, the labor force participation rate, the percentage of people who are working, had reached an all time high.  Most importantly, the labor force participation rate was almost ninety percent for those between the ages of 25 and 54.

Then the COVID-19 Panic began.

Since then a record number of unemployment claims were filed in the US.  In some states, claims jumped over a thousand percent in a single week, smashing all previous records.

Most of those have been filed due to people not be able to go to their workplace.  Non-essential business have been shut down, so their workers are unemployed until the COVID-19 Panic ends.  Other business have cut back on their staff, as their business model has been forced to change.

Those with jobs that can work from home, have been doing so.  However, consumer confidence is low causing them to cut back on expenditures.

For the time being, the blunt of what could turn into record unemployment is being felt by the lowest paid workers.  However, if the COVID-19 Panic continues, then it will affect every level of the work force.

Is all of this panic justified?

The fact is that COVID-19 pales in comparison to other pandemics.

The Black Plague in the Medieval Europe killed approximately half the people in Europe, giving it a minimum mortality rate of 50%, if everyone in the area was actually infected.  If not everyone was infected, then the mortality rate of the Black Plague was even higher.

The Avian Flu had a mortality rate of 60% in 2008.

Then there was the Spanish Flu, which was called the Wu Shu Flu in the American South, due to the belief that it originated in China, not Spain.  It had a mortality rate of around 16%.

COVID-19?

Under 5% world-wide.  That is with areas deficient in modern medicine pulling the average up.

When I read about COVID-19 in Israel a few days ago, there were 1659 cases and only one death - that of a holocaust survivor around 90 years old.  That is a mortality rate well under 1%.  In fact, it is about the same as the flu in a mild flu season.

Does the low mortality rate of COVID-19 really justify all of this panic?

COVID-19 even looks paler, when you consider the total numbers of deaths caused by other pandemics.

The Black Plague stands out as the clear winner with as many as 200 million dead from it.  It might be a lot higher, since these are only the people killed by it in the Near East, Europe, and the edge of North Africa were recorded.  It might have caused unrecorded devastation in the rest of the Old World before and after its seven year reign of terror in the area recorded by European historians.

The Spanish Flu comes in second with only 100 million dead - half as many as the Black Plague.  However, it only lasted for three years.

Smallpox epidemics have also killed tens of millions of people at a time.

COVID-19?

A little over 33,000 at the time of this writing.  Considering that the curve has went down in China, the source of origin, the total is likely to end up around 66,000 total deaths world-wide.  This about the same number of people killed in the United States by the flu in the 2017-2018 season - and one tenth of the people killed globally by the flu that season.

Where was all the panic over the flu each season, since it has killed five to ten times as many people each year?

COVID-19 also does not hold up to other pandemics when you consider the demographics of those killed by it.

The Black Plague killed people of every age and demographic.  It seemed to be an equal opportunity killer.

The Spanish Flu likewise had no respect to age.  It sometimes killed entire families from the newborn babies to the great-grandparents.

The flu kills about the same percentage of children under one year of age and adults at least sixty years of age.  The lowest percentage killed are children about twelve years of age.  The death rate has a very slow climb until about 30 years of age, after which it rises at a slow but steady rage.

COVID-19?

Over 90% of the deaths are people that are at least seventy years old.  So far, there has been very few cases of anyone under ten years of age dying from COVID-19.

There are lots of things that primarily kill people once they reach the age of seventy.  Where is the world-wide panic over those things?

So, the world-wide panic over COVID-19 is not justified.  So, what is behind this panic?

The answer is in when the COVID-19 Panic started.

The COVID-19 virus was first identified on December 1, 2019 in Wuhan, China.  Although, the government of China, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), monitored the spread of COVID-19, the general consensus was that it was no worse than the flu.

This continued to be the case, even after it spread outside of China.

Then on January 29, 2020 - almost two months after the discovery of COVID-19 - the world began to panic causing the White House Coronavirus Task Force to be announced.  The next day, WHO added to the panic by declaring COVID-19 to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.  The next day, the first case was found in Italy.

This added to the panic when Italy immediately declared a state of emergency and began taking steps to isolate Italians from the world and each other.  By this time, the world was in a panic over COVID-19.  Other countries, including the United States and Israel, followed the Italian model of responding to COVID-19.

So, on January 28, 2020 the world was treating COVID-19 as it would a regular flu.  The next day, a panic over COVID-19 began that has had devastating effects on the life and well-being of most nations, including the United States and Israel.

So, the question then becomes, did anything significant occur on January 28, 2020?

That was the day that President Trump and Prime Minister Netenyahu announced a new "peace deal" to divide the land of Israel between Jews and so-called Palestinians.  President Trump dubbed this "peace deal" "the Deal of The Century".

You might be thinking that this is just a strange coincidence.  However, consider the timing of other such "peace deals" sponsored by the United States and other disasters.

Consider these examples.

When President Bush I pushed the Israelis to accept a "peace deal" at the Madrid peace conference, the next day the Perfect Storm formed in the Atlantic Ocean and devastated his home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

When his son,  President Bush II, announced on September 10, 2001, that he was would be unveiling a "peace deal" with the cooperation of Muslim nations the next day, the unveiling never occurred thanks to Muslim terrorists slamming hijacked planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11.

The day after Israel was pressured into a "peace deal" that left no Jews in Gaza, dead or alive, by President Bush II, Hurricane Katrina devastated the United States evacuating not just the living, but also the dead out of New Orleans.

I could go on, but I think that you have probably noticed a pattern on your own.

The fact is that this pattern has held true for as long as the United States has been sponsoring "peace deals" between the Israelis and their enemies.  In every single case, disaster has struck the United States, a day or so after the announcement of the "peace deal".  Most of the time, a disaster has also struck Israel as well as every other nation involved in making these "peace deals".

This pattern is so well documented that people have written entire books on it, carefully documenting each "peace deal" announcement and the disaster that soon followed.

This strange pattern also works in reverse.

For example, when President Trump took office, the economy of the United States was in its second worse condition ever.  In December 17 of his first year in office, he officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  The US economy took off the next day.  By the end of his first year, the US economy was in the best condition that it has ever been.

Things got even better after President Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018 - Israel Independence Day.

Again, there have been books written that carefully document the pattern of the US, or any other nation, treating Israel or the Jewish people favorably, and unforeseeable good fortune suddenly coming up them.

These patterns even holds true for Israel, with a slightly different set of parameters.

Is there any explanation for these patterns concerning Israel?

The Book of Truth (The Bible) tells us exactly why these patterns exist.

It all began with Abraham (Abram).

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) promised that if Abraham would separate himself from his ungodly relatives by moving to the land of Canaan, then He would bless anyone that blessed the great nation that would come from Abraham, and curse anyone that cursed that great nation (Genesis 12:1-3).  The Father of Truth then promised that the great nation that would come from Abraham would be given the land of Canaan, after Lot departed from Abraham (Genesis 13:14-17).

The Father of Truth then confirmed that the great nation that He had promised Abraham would surely come inherit the land of Canaan (Genesis 22:16-18).  He then confirmed to his son Isaac (Yitzhaq), that he would be the one to inherit the promises given to Abraham for his obedience, if Isaac would also remain in the land of Canaan like Abraham (Genesis 26:3-5).

Isaac, then passed down this promise to his son Jacob (Yah'acov aka Israel) (Genesis 27:29-30).  This promise was confirmed to be given to the descendants of Israel at Mount Sinai (Exodus 32:12-14).

This promise to bless those who bless the people of Israel and to curse those who curse the people of Israel has came about in numerous ways throughout history.  Often, the curse upon the nations that have cursed the Jewish people have came in the form of a plague, usually brought in by people of a foreign nation.

For example, the people of Europe, the Near East, and North Africa persecuted the Jewish people greatly during the time of the Crusades and the years that followed.

First, Europe was overran and raided by Mongols from 1223 to 1337.  Millions of Europeans were killed and large nations like Cumania and Volga Bulgaria were destroyed.  However, the Mongols also persecuted Jews in the process.

Eventually, the Mongols, Turkish people, and Eastern Europeans formed the Golden Horde in the eastern part of Europe, the northern parts of the Middle East, and central Asia. 

Then in 1346, the Black Plague appeared in the Golden Horde and began to spread west from there.  It is believed that it brought into the Golden Horde by merchant caravans from China.

By 1353, the Black Plague had covered the entire area that had participated in the persecution of the Jewish people during and after the Crusades, including much of the Middle East.

Another example came hundreds of years later.  At that time, a new wave of persecution arrived against the Jewish people in much of Europe in the form of The Pogroms.

A pogrom was a violent riot that aimed to persecute or massacre the Jewish people.  The Pogroms were often the planned actions of the ruling governments, and initiated by soldiers in the army of the government.

The first pogrom occurred at Odessa, Russia in 1821 AD.  (This was a city inside the territory of the Golden Horde.)  The majority of pogroms against Jews occurred in the Russian Empire, Eastern Europe, and the German Empire.

There was also a couple of minor pogroms in England and Ireland, that were small, and with no casualties.

These pogroms caused people, like the ancestors of the Reluctant Jew, to hide their Jewish ancestry - even from their children.

Then World War I came about through a really strange set of circumstances in 1914.

Soon, war was spread all over the world, as global empires formed alliances and went to war with each other.  This led to the death of four empires: the Austro-Hungrian Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire, and the Ottoman Empire.

These four empires had almost all of the Pogroms and other acts of planned violence against Jews.  They were gone by 1917, but they were not the only ones who had cursed the Jews in some manner.

The Great War was over, but trouble brewing was on the horizon.

Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States had consented to the Balfour Declaration in October of 1917.  When the British published the Balfour Declaration in November of 1917, it promised a Jewish homeland in so-called Palestine - the name that the Romans had given to Judaea after they dispersed the Jews from Judaea in 135.  The expectation was that the Judaea would be given back to the Jews.

However, the other allies of Britain and America were immediately against this plan.  So, in December of 1917, the US and Britain added restrictions that would only allow the Jews to return to Judaea - not set up their own country there.

In January of 1918, the Spanish Flu began in France, where the government kept it secret from the public.  The press of the United States, Britain, and Germany, were also forced to suppress news of the flu out of fear of public panic.  However, the press of Spain was not under any such pressure and freely reported it.  For this reason, people called it the Spanish Flu.

In the American South, many of the soldiers who returned home from France, had reported that had been many Chinese workers in France, who had performed various services behind the battle lines during the war.  They believed that these Chinese workers had brought the flu to France.  For this reason, it was called the Wu Shu Flu in the American South.

By the time that the second wave of the Spanish Flu was over in December of 1920 AD, around 100 million people were dead.

The hardest hit countries were the countries were those formed out of the four empires destroyed in World War I, America, the countries of the British Empire, and the allied countries that had demanded a reversal of the Balfour Declaration.

There are many more examples that I could give, but this is sufficient to show that if history has only one lesson to learn it is this:

Don't screw with the Jews!

The Spirit of Anti-Jewism will always bring about a curse to those given over to it.

This explains the pattern concerning nations that mistreat the Jews and Israel, but it does not explain why the Jews and Israel usually also suffer at the same time.

Two things must be considered to explain why Jews and Israel are also affected.

First, we must consider the entire seed of Abraham.

The seed of Abraham consisted of two parts, the stars in the heavens and the sand on the seashore (Genesis 22:17).

The physical descendants of Israel that would come from his children, were promised to be as numerous the sand on the seashore (Genesis 32:9-12).  This part of the seed of Abraham is Earthly, just like the sand on the seashore.  Every descendant of Israel is automatically part of this Earthly seed.

However, there is also another part of the seed of Abraham, that is Heavenly, just like the stars in the heavens.  None of the descendants of Israel are automatically part of this Heavenly seed.

Those physical descendants of Israel who refused to obey the voice of the Father of Truth, will be destroyed out from among those who were as numerous as the stars of the heavens (Deuteronomy 28:62).   It is obeying the voice of the Father of Truth that makes a person a child of Abraham, not just a descendant of Abraham (John 8:33-39).

Abraham obeyed the voice of the Father of Truth, because Abraham believed that He would do what He had promised (Romans 4:3).  So, it those who also obey the voice of the Father of Truth, because they believe that the Father of Truth will do what He has promised, who are the Children of Abraham (Romans 4:9-13).

The Father of Truth can raise up children to Abraham from people of any nation, who will obey His voice, not just the physical descendants of Israel (Luke 3:8).  It is people of every nation, who obey the voice of the Father of Truth, who are the children of Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9).

So, the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him), both Jews and Gentiles, are the Heavenly seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:26-29).

So, when some of the Earthly seed of Abraham persecutes some of the Heavenly seed of Abraham, they bring a curse upon themselves as promised to Abraham.

So, the Jews often suffer with the Gentiles for the same reason that the Gentiles are suffering.

Many Gentiles have persecuted one part of the seed of Abraham, so they have brought the curse of the COVID-19 Panic upon themselves.

Many Jews and Israelis have persecuted the other part of the seed of Abraham, so they have brought the curse of the COVID-19 Panic upon themselves.

The Spirit of Anti-Christ will always bring about a curse to those given over to it.

The root of many of the Earthy seed of Abraham being cursed for persecuting the Heavenly seed of Abraham is the Rabbis (1 Thessalonians 2:13-15).  They are the source of Jewish trouble.

Second we must consider the real owner of the Land of Israel.

The Father of Truth owns the entire Earth and everyone in it (Psalm 24:1).  He alone has the right to determine the boundaries of the land of every ethnic group on Earth (Acts 17:24-26).

The Father of Truth set the boundaries of the land that He promised Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21).  He set the boundaries of the land that He gave for the descendants of Israel to live in (Deuteronomy 1:6-8).

He is the owner of the Land of Israel and the descendants of Israel are His tenants (Leviticus 25:23).

This means that no one has a right to divide the Land of Israel or sell part of it for peace - not even the Israelis!

It is not theirs to sell or negotiate with.

For example, what if President Trump decided to let a company use the entire Trump Tower for their operations.

However, many of the former tenants refused to move out when served notice that the new company has been given the entire tower as a place of operations.  When some of the the former tenants did move out of some floors, another group of squatters move into those floors, before the new company could set up operations on those floors.

So, the new company started selling the floors to the old tenants and squatters in exchange for peace.

Eventually, these agreements broke down because the old tenants and the squatters will not keep any agreement that they make with new company.  They refused to admit that the Trump Tower never belonged to them to start with.

Eventually a master negotiator began presenting plans to partition the Trump Tower between the new company, the old tenants, and the squatters.

When President Trump learned what was going on, would he be fine with it?  No!

The Trump Tower does not belong to the new company, the old tenants, or the squatters.  It cannot be partitioned by a third party negotiator.  Only President Trump can decide who operates out the Trump Tower and who does not.

In fact, President Trump would be angry with the new company for trying to sell parts of the Trump Tower, instead of asking for his help in removing the old tenants and keeping out the squatters.  He would be angry at the old tenants and the squatters for claiming ownership of his property.  He would be angry at the third party negotiator for trying to partition his property.

There would be consequences for everyone involved.

It is exactly like that when Israel tries to sell part of the Land of Israel to the so-called Palestinians.

The Israelis have no right to sell any of the Land of Israel.  It does not belong to them. 

Those very few people that were in the Land of Israel before the Jews began returning in 1870, do not have a right to return to the Land of Israel.   It never belonged to them.

The very word Palestinian literally means "invader".  They have no right to any part of the Land of Israel.  The Father of Truth did not give it to them.

A third party like the United States has no right to negotiate deals to partition His land.

So, all of the parties involved in selling and partitioning His land have consequences, even the Jews and Israelis.

The COVID-19 Panic is one of those consequences for the latest attempt to sell and partition His land.

Israel, and the Jews who supported this partition plan, are as guilty as the Palestinians and the United States, along with whatever other nations were involved behind the scenes.  So, all of them are suffering from the effects of the COVID-19 Panic.

America, Israel, and the world need to realize that there is only one Middle East peace plan that will work!

Why do these curses not affect every individual in the punished groups equally?

The Children of Truth are not affected by these curses, when they are spending time with the Father of Truth (Psalm 91:1-10).  Even when people all around them are being destroyed, they are protected by Him (Psalm 91:5-8).  It goes well with them when the wicked, like blatant homosexuals, are reaping the destruction that they have sown (Isaiah 3:9-11).

This has been seen many times in history.

For example, my own grandmother saw this played out with her own eyes.

Her family was persecuted in south Arkansas for refusing to join the Klu Klux Klan and for hiding some of their African American neighbors from the same.  They never stopped resisting the Klu Klux Klan, because her father had heroic resolve.  Their persecution by the Klu Klux Klan continued to get worse until the Wu Shu Flu (Spanish Flu) hit southern Arkansas.

Entire families of their persecutors died from the Wu Shu Flu, from the youngest baby to the oldest great-grandparent.  However, not one member of her family even got the sniffles from it, despite taking care of their neighbors that were incapacitated by the Wu Shu Flu.  They also helped bury the families of their enemies that had died from the Wu Shu Flu - without ever getting sick.

In like manner, these disasters have a long history of striking the greatest centers of evil disproportionately hard.

For example, New Orleans suffered more than half of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005.  New Orleans almost completely destroyed.

This prevented the annual public orgy of homosexuals called "Southern Decadence", which was going to occur the following Labor Day week end.

Even though Las Vegas is called "Sin City", it is not the clear winner over New Orleans.

Before Hurricane Katrina hit, and marshal law was imposed, the murder rate in New Orleans was ten times the national average.  New Orleans was famous for hosting that drunken orgy called Mardi Gras, which proceeds Ash Wednesday each year.

It also sponsored Southern Decadence since 1988.  This was part of a plan to become the preferred vacation destination for people who lived like they were married in Sodom.

It is no different with COVID-19.

As of this writing, almost half of the cases and deaths from COVID-19 in the United States have been in one city - New York City.  This is not by random chance.  New York City brought this curse upon itself.

The Democratic party gained control of both houses of the New York legislature and the governorship of New York in the 2018 election.  The Democrats were only able to gain this control due to New York City.  Without New York City, the governor of New York would be a Republican and the Republicans would control both houses of the state legislature.

The Democratically controlled state of New York then passed the Reproductive Health Act in January of 2019.  The Democrats were only able to do this after gaining control of both the executive and legislative branches.  The Republicans had blocked this act for decades.

This act allows abortions after the 24th week of pregnancy, if a doctor deems it necessary to preserve "the health" of the mother.  It puts no limit on when this abortion can occur, other than before the baby is born.  It provides no definition of what "health" means.

So, under the statue a doctor could perform an abortion on a baby while in the birth canal, because he determined that the baby being born would be bad for the "mental health" of the mother.

This law that lets these serial killers murder children in the womb with impunity was only passed because of the Democratic control made possible by New York City.  So, it fair to say that New York City is mostly responsible for wickedness.

So, it does matter how people live.  When we start examining the details, we find that COVID-19 and things like it, are not really equal opportunity killers after all.

However, the COVID-19 Panic is another curse that affects far more than just those who are infected with COVID-19.  It could actually cause more long term damage to the United States and the world than the actual disease.

Those who obey the voice of the Father of Truth have no reason to join in the COVID-19 Panic.

The best way to prevent a plague like COVID-19 is to understand how it begins.

This is not hard to understand, if you know where sickness comes from.

If people will keep His commandments, then the Father of Truth will take away from them all sickness and put none of the sickness upon them that He will lay upon His enemies (Deuteronomy 7:11-15).

On the other hand, if they do not keep those commandments, then they are opening the door to plagues like COVID-19 (Deuteronomy 28:58-61).

These commandments include commandments to eat only animals that the Father of Truth says are food, and to never eat any He says is filth (Leviticus 11:2-31).

When they ignore what He says is for dinner, then they are inviting disease into their lives.

For example, COVID-19 was first found in people in Wuhan, China.

They had been eating snakes.  These snakes had the virus in them from eating bats carrying the virus.  Other people in Wuhan could have gotten the virus from eating the infected bats.  These are animals that the Father of Truth commands people not to eat.

In like manner, pigs and chickens being raised near each other to be eaten was the source of the Spanish Flu, the Avian Flu, and the Swine Flue epidemics.  In fact, the majority the annual flu seasons start from close contact between chickens and pigs.

Pigs have an amazing immune system that allow them to carry a large variety of diseases with no visible symptoms.  In fact, there is so much toxicity in their bodies, that the poison of many types of snakes do not harm them.  This makes sense for an animal designed to be the garbage disposal of the forest.

So, the pigs catch avian diseases from chickens and pass them on to people.  This situation is made worse by the pigs being fed the chickens that died from these avian diseases.

But what about Jews and Israelis, who do not eat filthy animals like pigs?

They are also subject to plagues for not obeying the voice of the Father of Truth in a different way.

If Jews and Israelis will obey the voice of  the Angel (Messenger) of the Father of Truth that He sent before their ancestors in the wilderness, then the Father of Truth will take sickness out of their midst (Exodus 23:20-25). 

However, if they refuse to obey the voice of the Prophet like unto Moses (Moishe) that the Father of Truth raised up, then they are subject to suffering the consequences (Deuteronomy 18:15-19).

The Messiah of Israel is that Angel of the Father of Truth and that Prophet like unto Moses.  The Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) clearly defines the characteristics of the identity of the Messiah.  There can be no doubt that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) is the Messiah of Israel.

The Father of Truth will destroy from among the people of Israel, all who will not obey the voice of the Man of Truth (Acts 3:20-23).

One of the ways that they can be destroyed from among the people of Israel is by plagues like COVID-19 (Deuteronomy 28:59-62).

More than that, the Father of Truth drove the people of Israel out of the Promised Land and scattered them among all the nations of the Earth, where they have had constant trouble, for refusing to obey the voice of the Man of Truth (Deuteronomy 28:63-67).

It is this reason, that the people of Israel have been scattered to the ends of the Earth and back again.

However, the COVID-19 Panic can be stopped quickly.

The COVID-19 Panic will die within days if COVID-19 suddenly ends.  The good news is that there is a way for COVID-19 to suddenly end.

America, Israel, and all of these other nations, need to return to obeying the voice of the Father of Truth.

When the Temple was standing, the Father of Truth would remove every plague like COVID-19, from their land, if the people of Israel would seek His face in the Temple (2 Chronicles 6:28-30).  The same was true of any Gentile who would do the same (2 Chronicles 6:32-33).

If they could not make it to the Temple for some reason, like fighting in a war, then they could face Jerusalem and the Temple instead (2 Chronicles 6:34-35).  They could even face towards the ruins of Jerusalem and the Temple from a far away land, if the people of Israel were scattered among the nations (2 Chronicles 6:36-39).

However, it is very important to do this in the right way.

The Father of Truth knows the heart of every person, and rather or not they will turn to obeying His voice if he delivers them (1 Kings 8:38-40).  The Father of Truth will only remove a plague like COVID-19 when people humble themselves by admitting that they brought disaster upon them selves when they refused to obey His voice, and commit from their heart to return to obeying His Voice (2 Chronicles 7:12-14).

America, Israel, and the rest of the world, failed to answer the call of 9-11 to repentance.  As a result, there has been unending war for the last eighteen years.

Will they repent quickly during this wave of COVID-19, or will there be a more deadly second wave, like there was with the Spanish Flu?

Regardless of what these nations do, you can still protect yourself from COVID-19.  You can do what has been proven to work by millions including the Impossible Girl.

The Messiah of Israel was to be beaten with stripes to bring healing to anyone that put their trust in him (Isaiah 53:5).  The Man of Truth took that terrible beating before he went to the cross, so you could be healed of any disease, if you will put your trust in him (1 Peter 2:24).

You can be healed of COVID-19, or anything else, if you will come into the House of Truth.

As great as that is, that is no where near the greatest thing that he has done for you.

The truth is, that there is not anyone who has not sinned (1 Kings 8:46).  All have sinned and fell short of the glory of the Father of Truth (Romans 3:23).

The Messiah of Israel was to come to bear our iniquities, because all of us like sheep have gone astray from the love of the Father of Truth (Isaiah 53:6).  Since, like sheep we have gone astray, the Man of Truth came to lead us back the love of the Father of Truth (1 Peter 2:25).

The Messiah of Israel was to suffer silently like a sheep led to the slaughter for the transgression of others, because he alone had no transgressions (Isaiah 53:7-9).  The Man of Truth suffered silently like a sheep led to the slaughter for the transgression of others, because he alone had no transgressions (1 Peter 2:21-23).

The Messiah of Israel was to pour out his soul until death for the transgressions of others, and then lived again to justify those, whose transgressions that he had carried away (Isaiah 53:10-12).  The Man of Truth rose from the dead to justify those who believe that he carried their transgressions away (Romans 4:22-25).

Some were not going to believe the report about the Messiah of Israel being the arm of the Father of Truth to bring salvation, when the leaders of the people of Israel did not esteem him (Isaiah 53:1-3).  Most of the people of Israel did not believe the report about the Man of Truth being the arm of the Father of Truth to bring salvation, because their leaders did not esteem him (John 12:37-43).

The leaders of Israel would say that the Messiah of Israel was afflicted by the Father of Truth for his own transgressions (Isaiah 53:4).  The leaders of Israel accused the Man of Truth of blasphemy and condemned him to death (Mark 14:61-65).

So, the people of Israel have suffered so many things due to Rabbinic Distort.  They have been denied the healing that their Messiah bought for them.  However, that healing was bought for all people, because the Man of Truth is also the Savior of the Gentiles.

So, will your believe the report about the Man of Truth being the arm of the Father of Truth to bring salvation?

You just need to make a commitment to start obeying the voice of the Man of Truth, because you believe that his Father raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9-10).  This offer is available to Jew and Gentile alike (Romans 10:11-13).

The Impossible Healthcare

How did the land of Israel become so healthy after being disease ridden for about 1900 years?

It is not possible for a land to become so disease ridden that it was a virtual death sentence to move there for over 1200 years, and then become one of the healthiest places on Earth.  Yet this is exactly what happened to the land of Israel.  That is why I say that Israel has the Impossible Healthcare.

The Romans found the health of those who lived in the land of Israel to be remarkable when they first brought Judaea into their empire under Herod the Great.  They were surprised how many people lived to a very old age there, and how much less people died from disease there, compared to their other providences.
 
Disease in the land of Israel began to increase during the Great Revolt.  The Romans brought in three additional legions from various parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia to help with the legion assigned to Judaea. 

This contributed to plagues killing great numbers of Romans, Greeks, Jews, and others in the land of Israel during this campaign.  Plagues actually killed more people than combat.  These plagues remained in the land of Israel for decades after the Great Revolt ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

This pattern was repeated on a larger scale during the Bar Kochba Revolt that ended with the destruction of Judaea in 135 AD.  The Romans brought in over half of their entire army from all over Africa, Europe, and Asia during this war.  Then they hired mercenary armies from east of the Roman Empire in Asia, north of the Roman Empire in Europe, and south of the Roman Empire in Africa.

At the time, the Bar Kochba Revolt was largest military operation in the history of the world.  This gathering of armies from Britain to Armenia, and from Romania to Ethiopia, was the most wide spread cross contact in human history up to that point.  Many of these diverse armies brought in diseases that had never previously existed in the land of Israel.

The diseased condition of the land of Israel continued until the Byzantine Empire took control in 390 AD.  The Byzantine Empire needed the land of Israel to be occupied to serve as a buffer against the Sassanid Empire and to support its thriving "Holy Land" tourism business, so it encouraged Jews to move back to the land of Israel, except for Jerusalem.  The strategy was to bring enough Jews, religious professionals, soldiers and the like into the land of Israel at a rate that matched the death rate from these various diseases.  It worked for the most part, even though it created a booming funeral business.

Things took a decided turn for the worst when the Arab Caliphates began to take over the land of Israel in 636 AD.   Many of the Jews who lived in the land of Israel were killed during the war to take control of the land of Israel.  Many more fled to Khazaria where they would receive better treatment.

The Arabs lacked the sanitation practices of the Jews, so diseases increased more thanks to a great increase in the number of flies in the land of Israel.  Then to make matters even worse, the Arabs introduced water buffaloes into the Hula Swamp shortly after 700 AD.

The source of much disease in the land of Israel was the Hula Swamp (aka Hula Lake), north of the Sea of Galilee, which really more of a swamp than a lake.  This swamp was about five square miles (thirteen square kilometers) and only three feet (1 meters) deep in the middle during the winter.  During the summer, it rise to five feet deep (1.5 meters) in the middle, and filled large parts of the surrounding Hula Valley with a shallow marsh, as it doubled its surface area.

It attracted wildlife from north of the land of Israel for its water, as well as migratory birds.  Papyrus reeds grew abundantly in its shallow waters.  All of these conditions made it possibly the most perfect mosquito farm in the world.

This giant puddle had plenty of shallow water for the mosquitoes to lay their eggs in.  The papyrus reeds supplied the sap that mosquitoes eat most of the time.  The visiting wildlife and migratory birds supplied the blood that the female mosquitoes needed when it was time for them to lay their eggs.

The limiting factor on the mosquito population of the Hula Swamp was the transitory nature of the blood donors.  The wildlife came in for a drink and left, in larger numbers during the winter.  The birds visited each spring and fall as they carried out their migration pattern.  The Jews had farms in the Hula Valley that surrounded the Hula Swamp, but they mostly grew fruits and vegetables, with very few animals.  These farm animals only went to the swamp to drink water occasionally, during the summer, the peak mosquito season.

However, the water buffaloes that the Arabs brought in became permanent residences of the swamp.  These large animals created an always available supply of blood needed by the female mosquitoes.  This allowed the population of mosquitoes to really take off.

Water buffalo are also generally more disease resistant than people.  These water buffalo became carriers of mosquito borne diseases.  This caused a cycle of young water buffalo being infected with new diseases by mosquito bites, and then the next generation of mosquitoes would become carriers of those same diseases, when they bit older water buffalo.  This cycle ensured that no mosquito borne disease would ever die out among the mosquitoes that thrived in the Hula Swamp. This also made it more likely that each female mosquito would transmit a deadly disease like malaria, when a person was bitten.

Soon nothing lived in the Hula Valley except for great swarms of mosquitoes, the transitory wildlife, the migratory birds, the feral water buffaloes that remained, and black skinned Bedouins.

Black skinned Bedouins faced terrible persecution in the land of Israel, and the nearby countries, ever since the Arab Caliphate began to take control of those countries.  They were frequently referred to as "false Arabs" by other Arabs in places like Iraq, particularly if their father was not an Arab - even if their mother was an Arab.  They frequently had to separate themselves and live in isolated, nomadic communities - if they wanted to live at all.  So they moved into the Hula Valley, because no one else would live there.

These mosquitoes did not limit themselves to spreading disease among the blacks skinned Bedouins who live in the Hula Valley.  Many mosquitoes would swarm down the Jordan river to the Dead Sea, going up the tributaries along the way.  Once they reached the Dead Sea, then they would swarm up the other streams that emptied into it as well.  One of these streams was the Kidron brook that had its source near Jerusalem.

Other mosquitoes would swarm short distances to the sources of streams to the west of the Jordan River valley, particularly in the Galilee.  These mosquito swarms would then follow these streams until they finally reached the Mediterranean Sea.

So most of the the land of Israel from Beersheba northward became heavily infested with disease carrying flies and mosquitoes.  This made things decidedly worse.

Cross contamination between people had been the primary mechanism of the spread of disease before the Arabs took control of the land of Israel.  After they took control, a more deadly threat darkened the skies of the land of Israel.

Then the Crusaders made things even worse when they took control of the land of Israel in 1099 AD.  Their sanitation might have even been worse than the Arabs.  In fact, many of them were in the habit of literally throwing their trash and filth into the street.  This caused another increase in the fly population of the land of Israel.

They also brought in a continuous flow of Europeans from areas that had been far outside of the Roman Empire, when they revived the "Holy Land" tourist business in the land of Israel.  The Crusaders and their European customers brought new diseases for the flies and mosquitoes to carry.

When the Ayyubid Sultanate invaded the land of Israel in 1187 AD, they also possibly introduced new diseases.  It is certain that the Mongols, who the Crusaders hired to fight the invading Ayyubid Sultanate, introduced new Asian diseases to be carried by the flies and mosquitoes.

In like manner, the Mamluk Sultanate introduced new African diseases during the thirty one year long war for control of the land of Israel that they started in 1260 AD.

When the Ottoman Empire took control of the land of Israel in 1517 AD, they found that the land of Israel was so full of disease that they could not hardly get anyone to move there.  So, they began to let Jews move back into the land of Israel, so they could find some way to collect taxes to pay for defending this vital link between their African holdings and their Asian holdings against the Arabs.  This lead to some Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews moving to the land of Israel from the New World.  They in turn introduced New World diseases for the flies and mosquitoes to carry as well.

Every empire that conquered the land of Israel during this time had tried to establish an ongoing population there, but the rampant plagues and diseases always ended up devouring those populations.  Populations could only be maintained in the land of Israel as long as there was a constant stream of new immigrants to replace those who had died from the various diseases.

This was still the case when Christian Zionists sent missionaries to the land of Israel to prepare for the return of the Jewish people.  The missionaries, who went to the northern parts of coastal Israel around 1840 AD, reported that there was virtually no one in the land of Israel to bring the Good News to, other than a few coastal towns, black skinned Bedouins in the Hula Swamp, and some Jews in a few other cities, including Jerusalem.  (Most of the Arab tenant farmers of the Ottoman Empire in the land of Israel had been deported to Egypt after the Peasant's Revolt of 1834 AD.)  Except for the Hula Swamp, people were pretty much confined to about ten cities, and the land close to those cities.

Those missionaries who went to the land of Israel in those days, went there expecting to die there, much like those who went to sub-Sahara Africa in the same time period.  They packed their belongings in coffins to save shipping expenses.

These missionaries set up medical missions that created the first meaningful advances in combating disease since the Byzantine Empire had lost control of the land of Israel.  They went into the Hula Swamp to help the black skinned Bedouins, who had only been able to survive in the Hula Swamp due to a very high birthrate that offset the very high death rate from malaria.  They also taught better sanitation and hygiene practices to the Gentiles that they found in the land of Israel.

Still, the conditions of the land of Israel, and particularly Jerusalem, were so dismal that Mark Twain stated that he could not understand why anyone had ever fought to gain control of the land of Israel and Jerusalem, after his visit in 1867 AD.

The land of Israel had been so full of disease that it acted as an effective barrier between the Muslim populations in the Middle East and those in North Africa, despite its location that made it a land bridge between the two regions.  The Hula Swamp, north of the Sea of Galilee, was the home of so many disease carrying mosquitoes, that the Arabs would not even pass through the land of Israel.  Instead, the Arabs would sail to Egypt from the Arabian coast just to avoid traveling through the land of Israel.  This is one reason why Mark Twain did not encounter one single person in three or four days of travel as he made his way from Haifa to Jerusalem.

The land of Israel was still so full of disease by the time that the Ashkenazi Jews began streaming into Israel in 1870 AD, that no one would live there, except for a few die hard Jews in ten cities, some really committed missionaries, a few desperate black skin Bedouins who lived along the Hula Swamp to escape persecution, some Arabs who had returned to be tenant workers for Ottoman Turks who owned the land, and religious professionals that went there to maintain various religious sites.

Even after Ashkenazi Jews first began streaming into Israel in 1870 AD, plagues would occasionally run rampant through Jerusalem that would kill half of the people living there in a short time.

The only real effort to fight these deadly diseases was those of the Christian Zionist missionaries.    Christian Zionists opened hospitals in Jerusalem and other places in the land of Israel. The first pediatric hospital in Jerusalem was opened by a Christian in 1872 AD.

Yet even though the tide was slowly turning, the land of Israel was still full of disease.  For example, Eliezer Ben Yehudah lost his wife and three of his children in a period of ten days from diseases, shortly after moving to Jerusalem in 1881 AD.

The Ashkenazi Jews began working to create their own healthcare system around 1900 AD.  First, Baron Rothschild hired a Jewish doctor to make a circuit around various Jewish farming communities and run a pharmacy in Jaffa.  Then in 1902 AD, the first Jewish hospital was opened in Jerusalem.  Next, in 1911 AD, the first Jewish health insurance company was formed, so Jews in the land of Israel could self fund their healthcare, instead of being dependent upon foreign aid.

Then the Ottoman Empire closed all Jewish hospitals, confiscated all of the Jewish medical equipment, and drafted the Jewish doctors into their army during World War I.

When the British took control of the land of Israel in 1917 AD, there was no healthcare system in the land of Israel.  So in 1918 AD, the American Zionist Medical Unit (aka Hadassah) was established to rebuild the healthcare system in the land of Israel.  By 1922 AD, the healthcare system had not only been rebuilt, but expanded to include new hospitals in Jaffa, Safed, Tiberias, and Haifa.

Also in 1922 AD, the British enforced greatly improved sanitation standards across the entire land of Israel, and mandatory vaccinations against diseases like smallpox.  This effectively ended the problem of excessive flies and the diseases that they spread.

Then in 1927 AD, Hadassah began working on eradicating malaria in the land of Israel.  The British authorities took over the effort with the assistance of the Zionist Commission headed by Chaim Weizmann in 1929 AD.

In 1930 AD, the Ashkenazi Jews resumed creating their own self-funded healthcare system, again.  By the time that the State of Israel was declared in 1948 AD, the Jews in the land of Israel had created new hospitals, clinics, and medical schools.

Finally, in 1951 AD the Jewish National Fund began working to drain the Hula Swamp.  The project was completed in 1958 AD, bringing an end to the massive swarms of disease carrying mosquitoes that the Arabs had inadvertently created over 1200 years earlier.

The skies of Israel were no longer darkened by swarms of disease carrying flies and mosquitoes.

Today, Israel is ranked as the sixth healthiest nation on Earth.

Men in Israel have the second highest life expectancy for men in the world, and Israel has the eighth highest life expectancy on average in the world.  (It would likely beat out Japan for the highest life expectancy in the world, if those killed in combat and by terrorists, were not pulling down the average.)  The infant mortality rate is very low and the survival rate of child delivery is very high.

Every citizen in Israel, Jew, Arab, or otherwise, has health insurance and access to the healthcare system.

Israel is home to some of the greatest hospitals in the world.  Israel has also become home of some of the greatest medical research facilities in the world.

Many of the greatest medical devices in modern times were invented in Israel, like the PillCam.  Another one is ReWalk, a robotic exoskeleton that allow paraplegics to walk.  Jews in Israel have pioneered things like artificial kidneys and livers, that show promise as an alternative to transplants to replace these organs when they cannot be saved.  The first medicine that could cure any of the thousands of varieties of Cystic Fibrosis was developed in Israel, and research continues there to build on that success to develop a cure for not just Cystic Fibrosis, but for all genetic diseases.

The impossible has happened.

How could have all of this happened?

This is the work of the Greatest Zionist. 

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has being returning the land of Israel back to being a land of health and healing, after being a place that no one wanted to live in (Jeremiah 30:17).  He has been causing the land of Israel to be a place of abundant health and healing (Jeremiah 33:6).  He has been causing the land of Israel to no longer devour those who live in it with disease (Ezekiel 36:14).

The Father of Truth has been healing the people of Israel in the land of Israel (Psalm 147:2-3).  He has been healing those who live in the land of Israel after almost 1900 years of chastising them with devastating diseases (Hosea 6:1-2).

The Father of Truth does not just want to make the impossible happen concerning the health of Israel, but He wants to make the impossible happen concerning your health. He wants you to come into the House of Truth and enroll in the best healthcare plan ever.

Like the land of Israel, the Father of Truth wants to restore the health of all people - not just the Jews (Psalm 67:2-4).  He will heal people from any ethnic group, who will humble themselves and repent of their sin (Isaiah 57:15-19).

Like the land of Israel, the Father of Truth wants you to heal you from every disease, by walking in His ways (Exodus 15:26).   He wants to forgive your sins, heal you from every disease, and redeem your life from destruction (Psalm 103:2-4).

Like the land of Israel, a way has been made for you to be healed that has already been paid for.  The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) was beaten for your healing when he died for your sins (Isaiah 53:4-6).  There is healing in his wings for those who fear to speak the name of the Father of Truth causally (Malachi 4:2).  The Shepherd of your soul was beaten with a whip, so you could be healed by his stripes (1 Peter 2:24-25)!

Like the land of Israel, a healthcare system has been put in place.  The Man of Truth has commissioned the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) to lay hands on the sick, so that they can recover from every illness (Mark 16:17-18).  The Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) has given some of the Children of Truth the gift to heal others (1 Corinthians 12:8-10).  The Father of Truth has given some among the Children of Truth the gift of healing, so that no one who comes into the House of Truth has to remain sick (1 Corinthians 12:28-30).  He has provided the means for the Children of Truth to be healed of every disease by the prayers of other Children of Truth, when they repent of their sins (James 5:14-16).

Like the land of Israel, the Father of Truth sent the Word of Truth to heal the disease brought about by sin (Psalm 107:17-20).  He wants you to let the Word of Truth into your heart, so all of your flesh can enjoy health (Proverbs 4:20-22).  He wants you to come into the House of Truth, by following the orders of the Man of Truth, the Great Physician, because you believe that He healed the Man of Truth from death (Romans 10:9-11).  He desires for you to live in the House of Truth, so your soul can prosper and your body be in health (3 John 1:2-4).

What's for Dinner?

Is there a diet that will make you healthier and feel better?

What's for Dinner?

That can be a loaded question.  The person doing the cooking might not want to answer if they are not sure about the tastes and opinions of the person asking.  The person asking might not want to hear the answer if the person doing the cooking does not share their perspective on what is safe and satisfying to eat.

The issue is further clouded by all kinds of cultural issues as well.  What might be preferable in one culture may be considered repulsive in another.  What one culture considers delicious may be considered too bland in another.  What one culture considers normal may be considered too intense in another.

Then there is all of the conflicting advice about what is healthy and what is not.

Some people say that people must eat meat to be healthy but these people rarely agree on what kind of meat is healthy and what is not.  When I was in school we were told to eat organ meat (kidneys, livers, and the like) three times a week because those organs were the filters of the body where many nutrients accumulated.  However, my kids were told to never eat organ meat because those organs were the filters of the body where many impurities accumulated.  Both statements about organ meat were true so how can you decide if organ meat should be consumed regularly or avoided like the plague?

Some people say to not eat any meat but just to consume plant and dairy products if you want to be healthy.  Other people say that you must only eat plant products.  Even those people have all kinds of disagreements over which plant products are good for people and which ones should never be eaten.

On top of that there is the entire GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) nightmare.  What about corn that has had its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid ) altered by splicing in a pig gene to make it grow faster and larger?  Is corn that has been reconstructed from various parts of different organisms like the monster created by Doctor Frankenstein safe to eat? Can such FrankenCorn really be good for anyone?

What's for dinner?

All this makes such a simple question seem too complex to answer.  Is there any reliable guide to give an answer that is always safe to eat and satisfying to the eater?

Fortunately, there is.  The Book of Truth (The Bible) tells you all that you need to know to answer this question without any hesitation about whether or not you are offering something that is both healthy to eat and that will satisfy the eater.

What's for dinner?

Answering this question begins with realizing that what people eat matters.  The very first commandment that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) ever gave to the human race was about what to eat and what not to eat (Genesis 2:16-17).   The very first lie that the Father of Lies ever told to a person was about what to eat and what not to eat (Genesis 3:2-5).  The very first act of rebellion against the Father of Truth by the human race was eating what He said not to eat (Genesis 3:6-7).  The very first time people sought to hide from the presence of the Father of Truth was when they ate what He said not to eat (Genesis 3:8-10).  The very first trial of the human race was about eating what He said not to eat (Genesis 3:11-13).  The very first judgment ever passed on the human race was because people ate what He said not to eat (Genesis 3:14-19).  It was eating what the Father of Truth said not to eat that brought death upon the entire human race (Romans 5:12).

It also matters what people eat because His healthcare plan is based on whether or not people eat only what He says they should eat (Exodus 23:25-26).  Although there is a lot more to gaining all of the benefits of His healthcare plan than just eating it still spends a lot of time giving instructions about what people should eat.

What's for dinner?

The best place to begin is that the fact that not everything that people can eat is actually considered to be food in the Book of Truth.  Only somethings that people eat are considered to be food (Leviticus 11:2).   The Father of Truth spelled out what is food and is filth in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) that He gave Moses so that His people could live a life that reflects His holiness (Leviticus 11:45-47).  Other things that people eat are considered to be abominable (filthy or disgusting), which is to say that they are filth instead of food (Deuteronomy 14:3).

What's for dinner?

Not everything that walks around on four legs is food. The meat of animals that walk upon the land like cows, sheep, goats, antelope and deer is food (Deuteronomy 14:4-5).  These animals have split hooves and rechew their food (have a multi-chamber stomach) (Deuteronomy 14:6).  They all are even toed ungulates. The multi-chamber stomach destroys out any bacteria that may be in their diet and the split hooves act as shoes to keep parasites and disease from entering their bodies from the ground.

Odd toed ungulates (like camels) have the multi-chamber stomach but the are lacking the split hooves that keep disease and parasites from entering their bodies from the ground so their meat is filth (Leviticus 11:4).   Other animals with multi-chamber stomachs do not even have hooves but rather paws (like rabbits and coneys (similar to a woodchuck or marmot)) so their meat is also filth (Leviticus 11:5-6).  In fact the meat of any animal that has paws (like a dog or cat or bear or opossum or raccoon) is filth (Leviticus 11:27).

Even the meat of even toed ungulates that lack a multi-chamber stomach (like pigs) that filters out disease from their food is also filth (Leviticus 11:7).  The meat of pigs is especially filthy when one considers that in the wild pigs are omnivores (eat both plants and animals) and scavengers (eat animals that have died from disease). They are basically the hoofed garbage disposals of the land.  This is why swine cannot be made fit to eat even if they are only fed grain.

What's for dinner?

Likewise not everything that swims is food.  Only those animals that swim or live in the water which have both scales (the Hebrew word implies easily removed scales) and fins are food (Leviticus 11:9).  Everything else that people call sea food is really sea filth (Leviticus 11:10-11).  Fish that lack easily removable scales (like catfish) are bottom feeders that eat the poop and other filth that is on the bottom of the water they live in. Animals that lack fins (like lobsters, shrimp, oysters and clams) live in that same filth and also eat it.  They are the garbage disposals of the waters.  So the meat of fish with removable scales (like perch, bass, cod, tilapia) is food (Deuteronomy 14:9).  The meat of everything else that comes from the waters is filth (Deuteronomy 14:10).

What's for dinner?

Also not every bird or other flying animal is food (The Hebrew word translated as "fowl" literally means anything that flies with wings).  The flying animals whose meat is filth include birds of prey (eagles, hawks, osprey, owls, vultures, etc.), storks, wading birds (the word "cuckow" (cuckoo) here is translated as gull in the Greek translation (Septuagint), and the word "swan" here is translated as "purple legged" in the Greek translation (Septuagint) ("purple legged" is the name for ibises and flamingos among the ancient Greeks)) and bats (Leviticus 11:13-19). These birds are all either scavengers, or wade in the filth that is at the bottom of water while scooping up that the filth at the bottom, while they eat.  (Of course, bats are not even birds but are more like flying mice.)  They are the flying garbage disposals of the land and waters.  The meat of most birds is food (Deuteronomy 14:11).  However, the meat of these flying garbage disposals is filth (Deuteronomy 14:12-19).  The meat of every bird that is not one of these flying garbage disposals is food (Deuteronomy 14:20).

What's for dinner?

Almost the meat of almost no other animal is food.  The meat of almost all animals that crawl around on all fours (most insects only use their back four limbs as legs and feet to crawl but use their front two limbs as arms and hands to grab things) or otherwise crawl along the ground is filth (Leviticus 11:20).  The only insects whose meat is food are those with a legs above a foot that lays flat on the earth so they can leap (or hop) (Leviticus 11:21).

These insects are all members of the grasshopper family (called locusts when they swarm) (Leviticus 11:22). (The word "beetle" here is translated as "akrida" in the Greek translation (Septuagint) which is the sword tailed grasshopper.)  Grasshoppers are vegetarians that are unique among insects in that they chew their food and have a more developed digestive system that filters out disease.  Crickets, while similar in appearance, lack a foot that lays flat on the earth that is used for hopping.  Crickets are scavengers (they will even eat other crickets that died) and lack the more developed digestive system to filter out disease.  So crickets are not listed along with grasshoppers even though they are similar in appearance.  All other insects are either small garbage disposals (like crickets) or they lack the more developed digestive system needed to filter out disease from their food so their meat is filth (Leviticus 11:23).

What's for dinner?

So to recap the meat of even toed ungulates with four chambered stomachs (cows, sheep, goats, deer, antelope, etc.), fish with easily removed scales, birds that are not scavengers or waders, and grasshoppers are food.  The meat of every thing else is filth, just like the meat of weasels, mice, tortoises, ferrets, chameleons, lizards, snails, and moles is filth (Leviticus 11:29-30).

The meat of some animals is fit to eat and the meat of other animals is not fit for human consumption.  The Maker of the human body calls those animals that are fit for human consumption clean and the Father of Truth calls all other animals unclean.  The animals were already being called clean or unclean before the Law of Truth was ever given to Moses (Genesis 7:7-9).  The Law of Truth was given so people could discern between what was fit for human consumption and what was not (Leviticus 10:9-11).  (The Hebrew word "tame" translated as "unclean" is translated as "akathartos" in the Septuagint (Greek translation) which literally means "uncleanable from pollution".) It is as useless to try to make the meat of an unclean animal into food, as it is to make a rotten apple that was found floating in a sewer fit to put in a pie.  The Father of Truth wants His people to not treat both what he calls clean from pollution and what He says is uncleanable from pollution as being food (Leviticus 20:25).  The meat of an unclean animal is still filth and there is no way for people to turn filth into food (Job 14:4). 

However, there is more to meat than just not eating animals whose meat is filth.  Even some parts of animals that are fit to eat are still filth.  The organs of the gut cavity are the garbage disposals of the body so they are filth that is to be thrown away instead of being eaten (Leviticus 3:4).  Everything in the gut cavity including the organ meat is not fit for human consumption so that it had to be taken away instead of being eaten by the priest when an animal was sacrificed to the Father of Truth (Leviticus 3:14-15).  All blood and the fat of the gut cavity is filth (Leviticus 3:17).  The fat of the gut cavity of animals that are fit for human consumption, is still filth (Leviticus 7:23).  The blood of animals that are fit for human consumption, is still filth (Leviticus 7:26).

This why when people catch a fish they must clean it before eating it.  When they clean a fish they are removing the scales to get rid of any outer filth, removing the inner filth in the gut cavity when they gut the fish and cutting it open allows the blood to drain.  This why people field dress a deer as soon as they kill it by hanging it upside down, cutting off it head (why the head is the part that gets mounted) to drain the blood,  remove the skin to get rid of any outer filth and gutting it to remove all inner filth.  Hanging any animal that is fit for human consumption upside down and cutting off its head like when a deer is field dressed gets rid of the blood (Deuteronomy 15:22-23).  An animal that is fit for human consumption must be cleaned by separating the parts that are filth from the parts are food before it can be eaten.  So the Hebrew words translated as "clean" and "unclean" would be better translated as "cleanable" and "uncleanable" to convey the correct idea.

Of course, there is more to a healthy diet than just avoiding eating meat that is filth.  People also eat plant products as well.  In fact, in the beginning everyone in the human race was a vegetarian (Genesis 1:29).  Animals were only slain as sacrifices to God (Genesis 4:4).   It was only after the flood, when the world was changed, that people needed to eat meat, so they had to be told to not eat the blood (Genesis 9:3-4).

The seed of the plants must be not be contaminated with water that was made filthy by the body of a dead animal whose meat is filth or it will also be filth along with its produce (Leviticus 11:36-38). The seeds of different varieties must not be planted in the same field to avoid contamination from cross pollination (Leviticus 19:19).  So surely mixing the DNA of other organisms like GMO would also make any plant to be filth and not food.

The fruit of fruit trees is not always ready to be eaten.  The fruit that a tree produces is not fit to eat until it is harvested in the fifth year that the tree produces fruit (Leviticus 19:23-25).  Just as a girl can start having children when she is twelve but is not fully ready to have children until she is twenty so also a fruit tree starts producing fruit early but it is not fully ready to produce fruit that contains full nutrition until the fifth year of fruit production.

Plants must be properly grown to contain the nutrition that the human body needs.  This begins with the soil containing the proper nutrients.  For this reason the soil must rest every seven years (Leviticus 25:3-5).  After seven sets of seven years the land needs one extra year of rest so that it rests eight years out of every fifty years (Leviticus 25:8-11).  This need for the land to rest so that it contains the proper nutrients is so important that the Father of Truth told the children of Israel that He would put them out of the land of Israel so it could rest if they did not let it rest (Leviticus 26:33-35).  He would not even let them return to the land of Israel after they repented until the land had finished its rest (Leviticus 26:40-43).

For these reasons letting the land rest (being fallow) continued to be practiced in Europe for hundreds of years from when Christianity was introduced until the four crop rotation system was introduced in the 1600's. They had learned by observation that the food of the Jews that was grown on land that had rested was tastier and more nutritious.  In some places, like Greece, they did this because they said the Apostles had taught them to do so.

Not only must people eat food instead of filth and plant products that have the been raised and harvested correctly to gain the benefits of the healthcare plan of the Father of Truth but the food must also be prepared correctly.

This starts with clean cookware and a clean kitchen.  If anything that should not be eaten (like blood) touches metal cookware then it be cleaned by scouring it with hot water (Leviticus 6:28).  If the body of a dead animal whose meat is filth touches anything that is made from organic material then that item can be cleaned by washing it and then not using it until the next day (Leviticus 11:32).  If the body of a dead animal whose meat is filth or even water that has touched that body comes in contact with cookware that is made of any other material such as ceramic or glass then it must be broken and thrown away (Leviticus 11:33).  This is because the filth cannot be removed from these items because they are porous.  (That is why if you clean the outside of an aquarium with Windex it will seep into the water and kill the fish.)

Also any food or drink that comes in contact with the body of a dead animal whose meat is filth or is in a vessel that has been so polluted and not cleaned then also becomes filth and must be thrown out (Leviticus 11:34).  Even cooking devices that are not made of metal like clay ovens must be destroyed if they come in contact with filth (Leviticus 11:33-35).

Lastly, any dish where an animal is cooked in its own mother's milk is filth (Deuteronomy 14:21).

Note that there is nothing said about eating meat with milk in the same meal except for avoiding the sick practice of the idolaters of the Canaanites to cook a young goat in the milk of its own mother.  (I almost threw up the first time I read this.)  To say that this means to never eat meat and dairy in the same meal is putting words in the mouth of the Father of Truth that he never said.   Who are we to add our rules to His rules?  We must never add or take away from what He has said (Deuteronomy 12:32).

It is for this reason that beef and dairy breeds of cattle were developed.  If you make hamburger gravy using meat from a beef breed like an Angus and milk that comes from a dairy breed like a Holstein then you can be sure that you are not cooking the meat from the animal in the milk of its own mother.  If you want to err on the side of caution then never have eat a meal where the meat and the milk are from the same type of animal.  So eat your chicken pizza in confidence that knowing you are not eating a chicken that has been cooked in the milk of its own mother.

Of course, one problem with keeping the diet laid out by the Father of Truth is that people do not grow and process all of their own food.  That is why Daniel refused to eat what the king of Babylon ate (Daniel 1:8).  This is why Daniel and his friends only ate vegetables because fresh vegetables are always food and never filth (Daniel 1:11-13).  Because they stuck to the diet given by the Father of Truth they were healthier than those that ate the diet of Babylon (Daniel 1:14-16).

Gaining the benefits of His healthcare plan do not end with just eating food and avoiding filth.  Self control to not eat too much is also required particularly when it comes to sweets (Proverbs 25:16).  That is why people need the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) living in them to help them keep the diet of the Father of Truth (Galatians 5:22-23).

Also it is important to thank the Father of Truth for the food.  You should thank Him after you eat and tell Him that you are satisfied with what He has given you (Deuteronomy 8:10).  (I started doing this and then realized a month later that I had lost 15lbs without making any other conscious change to my eating.  I thought it over and realized that once I had started thanking the Father of Truth after meals I had stopped snacking between meals and eating smaller portions at meals.  Thanking Him silenced every lie that said I was hungry when I was not.)  You should also thank Him for your food before you eat like the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) did (Luke 24:30).

Those that do not keep the diet of the Father of Truth can eat and not be satisfied (Micah 6:14).  So if you want to serve something that is always satisfying then stick to His diet.  Otherwise you are likely to eat too much because you will find yourself still hungry shortly after you have eaten.

This is the diet that Moses kept and is part of the reason that he lived to 120 years of age without any need for eye glasses and died in full strength showing that he received all the benefits of the healthcare plan of the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 34:7).

This is the diet that the Man of Truth kept who obeyed the Law of Truth completely (Matthew 5:17). You can be certain of this because he was without sin (2 Corinthians 5:21).  He would have been committing sin if he broke any part of the Law of Truth including the diet of the Father of Truth (James 2:10).  Sin is nothing more than transgressing the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4). 

This is part of the reason that the Man of Truth died in full strength as promised in the healthcare plan of the Father of Truth (Matthew 27:50).

This is the diet that Peter (Cephas aka Simon aka Simeon) kept (Acts 11:7-8).

He did not die from disease but was killed for the sake of witnessing that the Man of Truth was the Messiah when he was old (John 21:18).  He died in an old age after living a life full of health which he used to serve the Man of Truth (2 Peter 1:13-15).

This is the diet that Paul (Shaul aka Saul) kept.  He was accused of teaching Jews that followed the Man of Truth to break the Law of Truth  (Acts 21:20-21).  He was advised to take on a Nazarite vow to show that there was no truth to this accusation (Acts 21:22-24).  Paul (Shaul aka Saul) consented because he kept the Law of Truth including the diet of the Father of Truth  (Acts 21:26).

He lived to be an old man who still preached the Gospel (Philemon 1:8-10).   He still planned on traveling a thousand miles on ship and then walking hundreds of miles when he got out of prison (Philemon 1:22).   He did not die from disease either but was killed for the sake of witnessing that the Man of Truth was the Messiah when he was old (2 Timothy 4:5-7).

What's for dinner?

You might be thinking that you do not need to keep the diet of the Father of Truth that is laid out in the Law of Truth to come into the House of Truth and you would be right (Acts 21:25).  But why would you not want to gain all of the benefits that come from keeping the diet of the Father of Truth?  Is it not better to be healthy than sick?  Is it not better to eat and be satisfied than to be feeling like something is still missing even though you are stuffed?

The truth is that it does not matter what you eat unless you also come into the House of Truth. You do not come into the House of Truth by keeping the diet of the Father of Truth because no one comes into the House of Truth by keeping the Law of Truth (Romans 3:19-20).  You come into the House of Truth by making the Man of Truth the boss of every area of your life because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).

Come into the House of Truth.
