The Golden Jewelry Hoard discovered at Megiddo are Hebrew Israelite not Canaanite Origin

The Golden Treasure at Solomon’s Fortified City of Megiddo 

At the top of what is called Samaria today, and along the route of the invading ancient kings of Egypt heading north along the Mediterranean coastline, the fortressed city of Megiddo stood as a major site of habitation and an important fortressed administrative center under the rule of King Solomon.  Here in what has been described as the Iron Age walled fortress called Tell Megiddo overlooking the Jezreel Valley in Northern Israel there was discovered an earthen vessel attributed to the 12^th century about 1100 BCE.  This was purported to be just before the era of King David in Jerusalem.

Here on this ancient fortressed site, hidden within a large earthen vessel was a hoard of exquisite gold jewelry. The hoard was protected by three clay bowls; the large earthen vessel on the outside, a second clay bowl within which contained a third small clay vessel. As some reported, it was constructed like some Russian nesting doll.

When they opened the small third inner earthen vessel, it appeared to be packed with mud.  This vessel was shipped first without any human contamination down to the Weizmann Institute of Archaeology to study its molecular structure. Within the contents there was discovered a collection of ancient jewelry whose prize piece was an exquisite “basket like golden earring” decorated with molded ibexes or in another report like an ostrich plus eight small golden animals with the appearance of wild goats.  The archeologists state that this find is “without parallel” in archeological history.

Professor Israel Finkelstein, the co-director at the excavation at Tel Megiddo stated that the earthen vessel was initially discovered in 2010. Included in the excavation team was also TAU Professor Emeritus David Ussishkin and Associate Director Professor Eric Cline of George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Ancient Israelite Golden Jewelry and Beads from Tel Megiddo

As reported, they had to wait for it to be examined by molecular analysis of its contents and when that was completed, they washed out the dirt and to their astonishment they found a priceless golden collection of jewelry. 

Together when opened the vessel, they discovered wrapped in a textile there was a priceless collection of gold jewelry plus over 1,100 semi-precious gold, silver, and semi-precious stone beads drilled out to form other articles of jewelry. It also appeared that this collection was discovered in a private dwelling or the home of an Israelite that resided on the northern side of the walled city of Megiddo.

When they opened the textile, pieces of golden jewelry tumbled out. This included a ring, a collection of golden earrings plus over a thousand beads of gold, silver and carnelian. According to the stratification of the layers within the “Tell”, this layer was dated to the Iron Age I that began in the early 10^th century BCE. It was reckoned that at least part of the jewelry came from Egypt whose rule over Northern Israel ended in the 12^th century BCE. Yet, depending on which archeologist or which dating method is used, the dating can be disputed and the ownership and province of the collection lends one to doubt the “official report” that this hoard of gold was of Canaanite rather than Israelite origin.  

  

The Exquisite Golden Basket Israelite Earring 

One of the earrings genuinely deserves to be called unique. It is shaped like a basket, inside of which were an ostrich and eight tiny animal figures, possibly goats. There have not been any golden hoards, either in Israel or anywhere within the entire Mediterranean region this golden hoard.

It was the archeologists’ professional opinions that the golden jewelry designs had came from what was believed at the dominating Egyptian culture. Again, Megiddo, according to traditional archaeology was a Canaanite city-state that was under Egyptian rule at that time about 1130 BCE.  The Egyptian populations withdrew later from this region and the city of Megiddo was destroyed.

Megiddo is remembered most as the prophetic site at the “end of the age” where the last battle of the forces of evil will seek to take control of Jerusalem against the divine forces of good. The site was called in Hebrew, Har Megiddo (Mount Megiddo) hence the Battle of Armageddon. This battle was seen in vision and documented in the Book of Revelation by the Apostle John, the Deputy Sagan (Vice President) of the Orthodox Jewish Sanhedrin of the “Nazarenes”.

Though archeologists reputedly date this site as over 8,000 years old, in over 35 centuries from Neolithic Israel to King Solomon’s Era, sticking to biblical chronology, genealogies including the Jewish Seder Olam Rabbah, we have to again dispute the traditional chronologies. As we shall soon see, as soon as the Hebrews arrived in the land of Israel, the central regions, including the royal Canaanite city of Megiddo were overthrown and came under Hebrew-Israelite control.

The Golden Signet Ring of a Hebrew-Israelite

Yet, we understand full well the strategic position of this city was for it became a noted military frontier fortress overlooking the Via Maris during the reigns of Kings David and Solomon as it overlooked one of the main trading land routes between Egypt, Syria and Mesopotamia.

We must comprehend that the dating chronologies by most secular and some Jewish archeologists are not biblically oriented.  Rather they use Egyptian chronologies with all their interim gaps and merging and mixing of Egyptian dynasties to suggest that the United Monarchy of Kings David and Solomon started in the Early Iron Age I. 

Yet, Destination Yisra’el suggests that may not be necessarily so; for the era of the Middle to Late Bronze Era culturally appears to be more like the apex of Hebrew-Israeli national existence. This is the difference between the archeological dating chronologies called the Minimalist and the Maximalist Chronologies. We also have to comprehend that even in the days of King David, some neighboring countries were like Third World Countries, and others were highly skilled and technologically advance First World Countries. It suggests that different cultures matured at different times and they, according to their national interest purposely moved from Bronze Age to Iron Age at different time sequences predominately for military reasons. 

 

The Golden Basket Earring with Ostrich, Ibex and Goats

With Egypt virtually protected by geography and distance from many of her enemies, Pharaonic Egypt matured later and continued to use Bronze military weapons later, while the Philistines, as new immigrants brought with them early the Iron Age culture and its weapons.  We see this in the Philistines battles against the tribal Israelites during the rule of Eli the Judge when the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines, and later when King Saul and Crown Prince Jonathan were both killed in battle against the Philistines.

It took King David, once a mercenary leader in alliance with the Philistines, who adopted the Iron Age military technology, returned and allied himself with the rest of the Israelite tribal leaders after the death of King Saul. Later he went on to rule the whole region from Egypt to the Euphrates, yet his kingdom remained culturally in the gilded Golden Age of the Middle to Late Bronze Age.

Strong traditions substantiated that with the immense treasures of gold that King David accumulated for the Temple of G-d, he prepared with G-d’s architectural plans and his son, Solomon, constructed the United Kingdom of Kings David and Solomon. It became one of the richest imperial kingdoms in human history.

It was not until 1992 when Rabbi Rabbi Rachnael Steinberg with his student Rabbi Mendel Tropper discovered in Amsterdam, Holland the long lost writings called the “Emeq HaMelekh”, meaning the Valley of the Kings. From this document, we begin to comprehend the immensity of the gold and precious gems that were used Solomon’s Temple.

This document had been written by Rabbi Naftali Hertz Ben Ya’acov Elchanon in the year 1648 in Amsterdam and the sources that Rabbi Hertz cited was called the Massakhet Keilim, a Tosefta (addition) to the Talmud, which is not found in any modern Talmud today.

As accounted by the discoverer of the Emeq HaMelekh, Rabbi Steinberg quoting the Talmud Huriot 12A accounts where the Prophet Jeremiah, knowing that the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was imminent, organized a heroic rescue operation.  He commanded King Josiah to prepare the hiding places for the Ark of the Covenant, the bottle of Anointing Oil, Aaron’s Staff of Almond wood, and the “Chest” sent by the Pelishtim (Philistines) to Israel as a “gift to the G-d of Israel.”

Then with our newer and continuous research and knowledge, we consider the history of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. The Lost Ten Tribes were exiled from the land in Shomron (Samaria) today, and sent to the lands in Khurasan. From there they migrated to the lands of their last habitation, the Northern Kingdoms of Europe.

Suddenly we realize that the glorious golden implements that were created by the Celtic and Cymrics in the La Tene Culture of Northern Israel, plus the fabulous horse costumes of the Royal Israelite Scythians, we now realize that “Gold” is indelibly a part not only of the Jewish Hebrew culture, but also the Lost Israelite Hebrew culture down through the ages. 

Megiddo was first recorded in history on the temple walls of the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III and traditionally dated to 1479 BCE.  Yet, in strict chronological dating by the genealogies of the TaNaKh, the  this date is closer to the Exodus (about 1450 BCE) of the Hebrew Israelites (Children of Israel) when Egypt was in a catastrophic collapse after the Israelites left and G-d’s Judgment destroyed their dynastic culture. Even so, the traditionalist archeologists try to convince us that the Exodus and the Hebrew invasion into the Promised Land was closer to 1200 BCE and more like a migratory assimilation rather than invasion as portrayed in Joshua’s history of the Hebrew-Israelites.  

The first mention of Megiddo in the TaNaKh, the Biblical Old Testament is in Joshua 12:21 when the city was inhabited by the Canaanites. Yet, according to the biblical texts in Joshua 12, Joshua testified that the Children of Israel destroyed 31 local Canaanite kings and their lands in which they ruled came under the dominion of the Children of Israel:

Joshua 12:1 - “These are the kings of the land whom the Children of Israel smote and whose lands they inherited on the other side of the Jordan, towards the rising sun, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon and the entire plains to the east:…Moses, servant of HaShem, and the Children of Israel defeated them; and Moses, servant of Hashem, gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh.

These are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the Children of Israel smote on the western side of the Jordan, from the plain of Gad in the Lebanon valley to the split mountain that ascends to Seir; Joshua gave it as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel according to their divisions, in the mountain and in the lowland, in the plain and in the land of waterfalls, and in the wilderness and in the South…”

And then the biblical text lists out all 31 kings of Canaan that were wiped out of the land of which the 26^th king was the “king of Megiddo”. (Joshua 12:21) What then does this suggests? The Children of Israel took complete possession of Southern Lebanon, Mount Hermon, the region of Galilee, the Golan Heights all the way into Syria proper, completely throughout the biblical heartland of Israel; Shomron (Samaria), and Judea including Jericho, Beth-el, Jerusalem, and Hebron.

Megiddo is first mentioned in the Bible in Joshua 12:21. At the time the city was inhabited by Canaanites. It is the assumption that the control of the city of Megiddo was lost to the Israelites, but that is also assuming because we are using Egyptian chronology instead of biblical chronology as our guiding post of history, and may not be true!  Can we not consider that the G-d of Israel has left the Jews and Israelites more accurate genealogies and tribal records than the Egyptians?  This is like teaching the history of the Old Testament without using the rabbinic interpretations of the Torah, or abandoning the Torah completely. 

With a more biblical comprehension of ancient history, and a more respectful appreciation of rabbinic interpretations of past Jewish Israelite history, we might be justified to challenge recent headlines that cries out; “Megiddo dig unearths cache of buried Canaanite treasure” and change them to say, “Tell Megiddo reveals hoard of Jewish-Israelite Gold that is over 3,500 years old”. Would this not affirm the biblical testimony and evidence that the Hebrew-Israelites conquered the land in the days of Joshua and the Judges of Israel and the evidence there are not Canaanite but Hebrew-Israelites?  

The “Golden Bell” discovered in the City of David (Ir Dovid) - Photo credit: Vladimir Neichin

Let us look at the historical evidence of the Hebrew-Israelites as the Jews of the House of Judah and the Israelites of the House of Israel when, during their United Monarchy of Kings David and Solomon they were of one nation and excelled beyond all other nations? Was it not recently that a “Golden Bell” was discovered in the City of David (Ir Dovid)?  Did it not give us great joy of seeing the reality of such evidence concerning the existence of the Temple of HaShem in Jerusalem?  

Yet what about the evidence of the largest accumulation of gold and precious gemstones that were used to build the most renowned temple of all ages, the Holy Temple of Solomon as the House of HaShem. This evidence can be read in the following BibleSearchers Reflection series that includes the article titled, “Gold in the Temple of Solomon, the Garden of Eden, the Margolit, Almugim, Golden Tables and Industrial Gemstones.” As the Emeq HaMelekh testifies in the Fifth Mishnah:

Fifth Mishnah of the Emeq HaMelekh – “There were 77 tables of gold, and gold [hangings] from the walls of the Garden of Eden that was revealed to Shlomo. Their radiance was like the brilliance of the sun and the moon that shine above the world. And all the silver and gold that ever existed in the world, from the six days of creation until the day that Zidkiyahu became king, did not equal the value of the gold that was overlaid on the Temple from within and from without.

There is no end, no measure, no set amount, and no weighing of the gold that overlaid the Temple and the face of the Temple. All this, plus another 7,000 talents of gold, were brought and concealed in the "Segel Habar" (?) with precious stones with which the Temple was built, besides 3 rows of priceless stones and one row of Almogim (coral?) trees. [Of] the three rows of priceless stones, the length of each row was 7 cubits, and width 5 cubits, [of the cubits] established by David. The length of one Margalit (pearl? gem? building stone?) was 10 cubits. David prepared all of these for the Great House (Temple), for Shlomo, his son.”

If you want to see the evidence of the ancient Hebrews (Jews and Israelites) in reference to their ability to engrave, facet and drill holes in gemstones, and how they perfected the use of diamond tipped drills in the preparation of the Temple of Solomon, we appeal to the mini-article titled, “Diamonds in the Ancient World”. We suddenly begin to realize that technology of diamond faceting, engraving, and drilling into semi-precious stones such as beads was first given to Kings David and Solomon and used in the building of the Temple of Solomon.

Then we have the ancient evidence of the first of the technology in the history of creating gemstones by the use of micro-drilling by using diamond tipped drills. This evidence was discovered as early as the 6^th century BCE document titled the "Ratnapariksa" by Buddha Bhatta. It depicted the value of 6th-century BCE gems and the legendary powers attributed to these gemstones. As then, so it is today, the diamond octahedron was a gem that was highly valued as described:

Ratnapariksa - “He who, having pure body always carries a diamond with sharp points, without blemish, free from all faults; that one, as long as he lives, knows each day will bear some things: happiness, prosperity, children, riches, grain, cows and meat.

The diamond with the most prized value flashed a dispersion of light into a rainbow of colors.

Ratnapariksa - "Even if it has blunt points, if it has a speck, a crack, the diamond that has the reflection of the rainbow procures wealth, grain and sons. The king who carries, so it is said, a beautiful diamond with glittering flashes has a force that triumphs over all other powers and becomes master of all neighboring lands."

Where did they get such amazing knowledge 2,600 years ago? Then suddenly we realize that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who were expelled from the Land of Israel in Samaria because of their idolatry started the religious of Buddhism in the 6^th century. It was “The Buddha” who was called the “Great Hermit” whose real name was “Saca-Mundi”. Yet when we search for his real identity, we find that he was a “Sacae-Suni” or a “son of Isaac” of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.

So we ask, where is the literary testimony of the Canaanites, Palestinians, or even the Arabs that show evidence of their cultural life as residents in Tell Megiddo? Where is the archeological evidence at Tell Megiddo or anywhere across the Levant towards the Land of Canaan that shows the Canaanites skills in making golden earrings or drilling holes in metallic gold and silver or even semi-precious gem beads?

Why not Professor Israel Finkelstein, at Tel Aviv University, be proud of your golden heritage and relook at the evidence within the chronologies of the Hebrew TaNaKh? Why not reconsider that the golden horde in which you have discovered comes from your own ancestral heritage, not the Canaanites?

Yet, don’t forget your own brothers of the House of Israel who as the Celtics, the Cymrics, the Scythian Royal Israelites plus the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings of the Norsemen, the Swedes and the Danes, for they all carry rich tribal heritages of exquisite golden jewelry that were used for dress and ornamentation. Let’s not forget about the Germanic Tribes Ostrogoths, Visigoths and the Vandals. Did not the Germanic Israelites Visigoths topple the City of Rome, but what did they take; only the Gold of Rome stolen from the Treasury of King Solomon. Did not the Germanic Israelite Vandals again conquer the City of Rome, but what did they take; only the Golden Menorah of King Herod plus the rest of Solomon’s Treasures not hidden by the Prophet Jeremiah and the five worthy priestly commandos that hid the Treasures of Solomon’s Temple to wait for the coming Messiah, David, son of David. 

Lest we forget, what about the collective tribal memories that are imbedded in our genes when our Israelite tribal forefathers worshipped in the Golden Temple of King Solomon and worshipped in awe before the majesty of G-d in an era of many miracles. At that time, when the king entered into the house of the L-rd, walls of golden shields traced the pathway from the royal house to the House of G-d?  Someday, this imagery will be restored and your destiny as a Lost Sheep of the House of Israel will be fulfilled.

The Comprehension of the True Reality of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel is only beginning to become fully understood. When the full story will be told, it will become one of the most amazing acts of comprehending how the G-d of Israel has been walking side-by-side with His Lost Children for now 2,700 years and now Preparing to Redeem that and Restore them back into Brotherhood with the Jews of the House of Judah.

The Viennese Rothschild Family and Adolf Hitler’s Final Revenge upon his Rothschild Cousins

A Private View of the Nathan Mayer Rothschild Family Portrait who started the English Rothschild Banking Dynasty 

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 reputedly to Alois Hitler (1837–1903) that was reported in the first parts of this series, titled, “Fuehrer Adolf Hitler was the Grandson of Freiherr Salomon Mayer von Rothschild, the head of the Viennese Rothschild Banking Dynasty”. If so, this could have made Adolf Hitler one of the dynastic male-to-male descendants of the famous Jewish banking family that reputedly owns 50% of the wealth of the world. In one of the most mysterious sagas of human history, it is now believed that Alois Hitler was the illegitimate son of Salomon Mayer von Rothschild (September 9, 1774, Frankfurt/Main – July 28, 1855, Paris) by an illicit relationship with his Jewish maid and housekeeper, Maria Anna Schicklgruber.

Out of this union came the angry, sullen child known in history as Alois Hitler, the father of Adolf Hitler, the future Fuehrer of the Third Reich of Germany called Nazi Germany. This family portrayal gives us a new picture of the life of Adolf Hitler with the Viennese dynastic banking family of the Rothschilds, the descendants of the Austrian banker, Freiherr (Baron) J.J. de H. Salomon Mayer von Rothschild, and the Jewish population in Vienna, the largest community of Jews on the European continent. Today the total wealth of the dynastic Jewish Rothschild family dynasty is estimated to be fifty percent of all the wealth in the world.

Born on September 9, 1774 at Frankfurt-am-Main in Frankfort, Germany, the Austrian banker, Freiherr (Baron) J.J. de H. Salomon Mayer von Rothschild was the second son of Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812) and Gutlé Schnapper (1753–1849).  Salomon married Caroline Stern (1782-1854) in 1800 and together they had one son and daughter:

1. Anselm Salomon (1803–1874)
2. Betty Salomon (1805–1886)

At the age of 42, Salomon Mayer left his hometown of Frankfort (1816) and moved to Vienna Austria and there created the second dynastic house of the Rothschilds. It must be noted that the city of Vienna probably had the second largest Jewish population in Europe. There Salomon became fully immersed in the financial expansion of the Austrian Empire. 

 Salomon Mayer was the originator of the Austrian banking giant called the Kaiser Ferdinands Nordbahn in 1836 plus numerous other financial enterprises:  the Austrian state loans of 1823, 1829, and 1842; the coal-mines of Witkowitz; and the asphalt lake of Dalmatia. He was so well accepted that in 1815, he was knighted by the Crown of Austria, and became a Freiherr (equivalent to an English Baron).  As part of his national fame in Austria, he began to acquire extensive landed properties; Oderberg, Hultschin, and Schillersdorf. 

When Salomon Mayer Rothschild died in 1855, his estate became the property of his only son, Anselm Rothschild. Consider the implications of this action. Alois Hitler was reputedly sired by the wealthy iconic banker in Vienna, Salomon Mayer Rothschild, but he was never acknowledged as Salomon Rothschild’s son. Neither did Alois Hitler participate in the inheritance of Salomon Mayer Rothschild’s vast estate.

Unknown to most, who like Eric Jon Phelps, in his interview titled the “Black Pope” blames most of the wars in Europe in the 16^th to the 20^th century not upon the Vatican but upon the Jesuits, or rather the Jesuit General. The Jesuits are called the “Force” and the protectorate of the “White Pope”. Yet is appears that the Rothschild family were equally involved or in collaboration with the Vatican for they also were the bankers of the popes and appeared also be agents in fomenting these wars including World War I and World War II.

Solomon von Rothschild personal wealth was legendary including his numerous properties and the investments he made in art and antiquities. Yet, by the years surrounding the Revolutions in 1848 in the regions controlled by the Habsburg dynasty, the public moods in Austria was shifting against the Rothschild family dynasty.  When Metternich fell, the insider political clout of Salomon von Rothschild as considerably diminished. The Revolutions of 1848 and the subsequent economic collapse severely impacted the Rothschild’s fortunes including the House of Vienna. Yet, there would be two more major events to come; the 2) Great Depression of the 1930s and the 3) fall of Austria to Germany’s Nazism.

With pressure from “The Family”, the now 74-year-old Viennese magnate, twelve years after his purported tryst with his household maid, Maria Anna Schicklgruber, and the subsequent birth of Alois Schicklgruber Hitler potentially changed the entire fortune of the Jewish Rothschild tycoon of Vienna. Freiherr Salomon Meyer Rothschild was forced to resign in 1849 in a raucous intra-family dynastic battle that ended up transferring his estate to his son, Anselm von Rothschild to take over the family banking business in Vienna.

The aging banking magnate left Vienna never to return and retired to Paris where he died in 1855. Upon his death, his bank was in the hands of his son, Anselm and portions of Salomon’s vast Italian and French Renaissance art collection along with later 18^th century art was donated to the Louvre including two paintings by Carlo Dolci.

The heir to the Viennese House of the Rothschilds, Baron Anselm Salomon von Rothschild (January 29, 1803 – July 27, 1874) became the head of the Vienna branch of the Rothschild family. He was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany to baron Salomon Mayer von Rothschild (1774-1855) and his wife Caroline (1782-1854). In 1826 he married his cousin Charlotte Nathan Rothschild née Rothschild (1807-1859), daughter of Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836) from the London branchof the family whose portrait titles the first page of this article. Together they had eight children that included three living sons, Nathaniel Anselm, Ferdinand James, and Albert Salomon Rothschild: 

• Mayer (1827-1828)
• Julie (1830-1907)
• Mathilde Hannah von Rothschild (1832-1924)
• Luise (1834-1924)
• Nathaniel Anselm (1836-1905)
• Ferdinand James (1839-1898)
• Albert Salomon (1844-1911)
• Alice Charlotte (1847-1922)

Anselm Salomon was involved in the creation of the Austrian Creditanstalt. His philanthropic pursuits included the Rothschild Hospital and he was noted as a prominent art collector. Upon his death in Vienna, the heir-to-be, the eldest living son, Baron Nathaniel von Rothschild (1836-1905), was expected to have inherited the family banking business in Vienna, the S M von Rothschild, yet his father, Anselm felt that he was irresponsible, extravagant and unfit to extend the wealth and influence of the Rothschild dynasty.  The Zion of the Rothschild House of Vienna went instead to the youngest son, Baron Albert Salomon von Rothschild (1847-1922).

Rather than going into business, Nathaniel Anselm Rothschild spent his life as a socialite who built mansions and collected works of art. He built the Palais Rothschild at 14-16 Theresianumgasse in Vienna where his large collection of art was on display. In 1880, he purchased Enzesfeld Castle with its vast property from Graf Schönburg-Hartenstein. He also had Hinterleiten Palace in Reichenau an der Rax erected in 1887.

On his father's death in 1874, he and brother Ferdinand inherited most of the family's real estate and art collection while the family business went to brother Albert who successfully carried on the financial empire. Ferdinand took his inheritance and left Vienna and moved back to England where he became an English art collector, a member of the prominent Rothschild family of bankers and was a Liberal English MP for Aylesbury who sat on the House of Commons between the years of 1885 until his death in 1898.

He married the cousin, Evelina de Rothschild (1839–1866), the daughter of Lionel de Rothschild (1808–1879) who with the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour changed forever the destiny of the Jewish people. With the British Balfour Declaration, a pathway for the reuniting of the Jewish people with the Land of Israel became a living dream and reality.

The Most Famous of the Rothschild Estates; Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, England, home of Ferdinand James Anselm Freiherr von Rothschild and Evelina Rothschild 

Ferdinand von Rothschild died childless at Waddesdon Manor at the age of 59 for both his son and daughter died premature deaths.  He was buried next to his wife in the elegant Rothschild Mausoleum in the Jewish Cemetery at West Ham.

The Ferdinand art collection included: 

• The Renaissance objects d'arts from the Manor House that was donated to the British Museum as the "Waddesdon Bequest";
• The Holy Thorn Reliquary was a highlight of the collection, though its distinguished provenance was still unknown.
• He willed the Manor to Alice Charlotte von Rothschild, his unmarried younger sister and thence to their nephew, James Armand de Rothschild, who in turn bequeathed it to the National Trust.

The Viennese Palaces of the Rothschilds 

Over the years, five Palaces owned by the Rothschilds were built in Vienna. They included the:

Palais Albert Rothschild – the First of the Five Rothschild Palaces in Vienna

Palace of Freiherr Albert von Rothschild at Prinz-Eugen-Straße 20-22, in the IV (Wieden) district of Vienna, built over the Estate Palace of Salomon von Rothschild

Palais Albert Rothschild was built over the palatial estate of Freiherr Salomon von Rothschild by Salomon’s grandson, Baron Albert von Rothschild, the inheritor of the family banking business. A small secret of the family was that Albert von Rothschild, the son of Anselm von Rothschild lived in the palatial estate with his grandfather Salomon Mayer von Rothschild in the year 1848. This was only 11 years after the birth of Albert Rothschild’s uncle and his father, Baron Anselm von Rothschild’s half-brother, Alois Hitler; the illegitimate son of Freiherr Salomon. This “fact” will spell out the Rothschild fortunes and tragedies later in World War II. 

Forty two years later, it took the grandson, Baron Albert von Rothschild to tear down the house that fondled the memories of that ignoble deed done by his grandfather earlier. On the same grounds, he rebuild between 1879 and 1884 a Neo-Renaissance “hôtel particulier” palace which was more like the English mediaeval “Inn” or the Townhouse of a Nobleman as opposed to the Maison (Mansion House) that was built as part of a row of houses that shared party walls with other adjoining mansions. 

 

The Art Collection of the Rothschilds in the Palace of Freiherr Albert von Rothschild at Prinz-Eugen-Straße 20-22 

This palatial mansion included a three-sided courtyard called the cour d’Honneur including gardens like Louis XIV’s Palace of Versailles in Paris which bordered on Plößlgasse. Like Grandpa Salomon’s mansion, this palace was also secluded from the public’s view. The dominating feature of this Rothschild Palace was the enormous marble staircase adorned with mirrors, paintings and globelins. Nearby was the ballroom and salons with painted artistically designed ceilings richly decorated with gold leaf, crystal chandeliers, parquet floors of rare woods Louis-Seize styled furniture.

Constructed within a niche between the ballroom and one of the salons was large mechanical pinned cylinder “orchestrion” that played like a pipe organ but sounded like an orchestra or a band. Even more unique was a small observatory plus numerous telescopes with which Baron Rothschild could observe the Viennese sky.

Serving as the private residence of the Rothshild’s dynastic home, it was also where Baron Albert conducted his banking business with opulence that created a statement of his social and financial international clout.

Palais Nathaniel Rothschild, the Second of the Five Palaces of the Rothschilds in Vienna

Palais Nathaniel Rothschild – “The Palais Nathaniel Rothschild was a palatial house in Vienna, one of five Palaces of the Rothschilds in the city of Vienna that were owned by family members of the Rothschild banking family of Austria.  It was commissioned by Baron Nathaniel von Rothschild (1836–1905), the brother of Albert Salomon von Rothschild.

French architect Jean Girette designed and built the French Neo-baroque style palace between 1871 and 1878, situated at Theresianumgasse 16-18, in the IV (Wieden) district of Vienna. There the palace was two stories high, and it was surrounded by a lush gardens accented by decorative fountains and sculptures.  It was built to be a showcase mansion displaying the immense wealth of the Rothschild family.

When the palace was completed, Baron Nathaniel organized a huge ball for city elite for the housewarming grand opening. This august event included an orchestra playing antique instruments that were from the renowned priceless music instrument collection of the Rothschild’s Viennese family dynasty. It also was a grand display of one of Vienna’s most famous philanthropists who was renowned also for his charitable activities.

Palais Nathaniel Rothschild stood as one of Vienna’s most priceless heritage until the Anschluß (Annexation) of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938.  The Rothschild family fled and this palace was included in the palaces and priceless collections that were seized by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi army.  It was his way of saying thanks to his incognito grandfather, who never recognized him as his own, so now Hitler was to have the last laugh. The Rothschild families were forced to flee and the estates seized by the Nazis. The Gestapo moved in and used the Palais Nathaniel Rothschild to be the headquarters to interrogate the Austrian and Viennese Jewish population and make preparation for their one-way exodus to the concentration camps of Europe. 

As World War II was in its closing weeks, the palace itself was heavily damaged by the Allied bombing raids over Vienna, Austria in 1944. Afterwards the Rothschild owners returned to see its smoldering ruins and ashes that were torn down and part of the palace structure was used for the reconstruction of the Stephansdom, the Romanesque and Gothic Cathedral that was Vienna’s first parish church in 1147 CE. With its multi-colored tile roof, the Stephansdom is one of Vienna’s most recognizable landmarks.

The sole remaining heiress of the palace, Baroness Clarice de Rothschild sold the entire estate to the Austrian Chamber of Labour in 1950 where the remains of the palace was razed and the Chamber trainees are today educated in a modest modern building.

Fuehrer Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Revenge to his Rothschild Cousins

The Salomon Rothschild business empire was passed down to the next generation and then on March 13, 1938, the unbelievable now became a reality.  Called the Anschluss of Austria, the German Nazi came to Austria to claim what they called their own; the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany.  It was the “Heim ins Reich” (Home of the Reich) movement, that Adolf Hitler was  sending out the international call to all ethnic German peoples living outside of the Third Reich in Germany to set the political stage within their homelands to bring these regions back into a Greater Germany.  This included all the regions that Germany had been ceded or given up after World War I with the Treaty of Versailles. Though the reunion of Austria and Germany was specifically prohibited by the Versailles Treaty, it was Hitler’s intention to keep moving on and including other regions farther away that had sizable German populations such as the Sudetenland in the Czech Republic. 

The final subjection of the independent Nation of Czechoslovakia is today seen as a model of what the European and American powers are seeking to do today within the center of the Land of Israel. The “Quartet” is seeking to form an independent state for the Palestinian people, just as Hitler and the German Nazi regime sought in Czechoslovakia in a well planned coup d’etet by the Austrian Nazi Party. The planned referendum on March 13 for the Czech people to vote for their independence was taken a day earlier in Vienna. The Nazis cancelled the referendum just as the German Wehrmacht troops entered Austria.

It was the Anschluss of Austria that initiated the first major military movement by Adolf Hitler for the creation of a Greater German Reich. And it was the Austrian Viennese House of the Rothschilds that had the most to lose in the Nazi German invasion of Austria. It would be a Sabbatical Week of years, a full seven years before the Nation of Austria would regain her full sovereignty.

The Rothschilds quickly fled to escape the Nazi Revolution. As the Anschluss invasion was in force, Baron Louis Nathaniel von Rothschild was at the airport in Aspern when he was apprehended and arrested and taken into the custody by the Nazis for one reason; he was a Jew. He was held in prison for a year and finally released after a substantial but undocumented ransom by the Rothschild family.

It was the son of Albert Salomon von Rothschild, Louis Nathan who built the spectacular Viennese palace called the Palais Rothschild that housed at least two generations of Rothschild art collections and antiquities. While imprisoned, Louis Nathan Rothschild was visited by Heinreich Himmler, who apparently was impressed to the fact that he ordered that the prison conditions be improved with better furniture and sanitation facilities.

Even Queen Mary of the United Kingdom and the Duke of Windsor sent an appeal to Hitler, but the Rothschild heir was kept interned at Vienna’s Hotel Metropole while the German government began to dismantle and expropriate his banking and financial businesses until the property was put under supervision of a German commissioner. Sometime after July 1938, about a year later in March 1939, Louis Nathan von Rothschild was finally allowed to leave Austria. His Austrian passport was taken away from him and now a “penniless man” he left Austria and went into exile in England.

The main family palace the Palais Albert Rothschild was commandeered by the Gestapo to be used as its Vienna headquarters. Within the palace the infamous “Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung” was set up to “organize the immigration if the Jewish people from Austria. Covertly, the Gestapo headquarters were used to train soldiers hold all the Austria Jews as ransom while at the same time they were stripping their home and possession and valuables while dangling the prospect of receiving an emigration permit to leave the country. 

Even more so, Hitler was setting up the government intelligence force to gather all the treasures of the Rothschilds, including their vast estates of classic paintings of the masters, statutes of renowned sculptures, golden furnishings, ancient military armor and numismatic coins. In fact, Louis Nathan von Rothschild was eventually sent to the Dachau concentration camp and with his detention there, he was released only when his father, Baron Albert von Rothschild under force signed his consent for his brother’s release from Dachau, plus their safe passage from Austrian by giving up all rights to his art collections and Rothschild assets in Austria to the German Government.

As the fortunes of the Austrian Rothschilds were being quickly divested from their vast estates, it was a warning by Adolf Hitler to the rest of the Rothschilds in Europe that they were next. Eichmann was in Vienna to personally direct the relocation of the vast collections that were confiscated in that august city. In total there were 163 different collections that were worth 93 billion Reichsmark (RM) that the Nazi government took possession. 

Of this vast estate, 269 painting that were chosen for their unique value and prominence and later 122 were selected by Hitler to be included in Hitler’s museum of fine art in Linz, where Hitler spent most of his youth when he left Vienna as a young boy. Here in this city, Hitler envisioned that it would become the cultural center of the Third Reich.

The Rothschild palace and estate was totally destroyed. The palace, plundered extensively of any ornamentation was converted into a postal and telegram office. The palace, the gardens and the entire estate of the Rothschilds was expropriated to the Austrian government with proviso that a pension fund would be set up for all former Rothschild employees tagged to the pension scale of the Austrian civil servants. The palace was completely torn down, and the woodwork, the fireplaces, the chandeliers were sold off by the auction house Dorotheum at drastically reduced prices. An Italian investor bought the enormous staircase plus the pillars of marble. The ornate iron fence, grillwork in the window was all sold for scrap. The rich gilded stucco was torn down, and the large orchestrion was partially destroyed and placed in the Collection of Ancient Musical Instruments of the Kunsthistorisches Museum. The palace itself had to be dynamited to the ground, because it was construction for permanence. 

It is important for us to comprehend how personal this war, triggered by the Rothschild financiers in Europe, was felt by Adolf Hitler, the grandson of the Austrian banker, Salomon Meyer von Rothschild, as we read this “famous quote” by the German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler: 

Adolf Hitler – January 30, 1939

“Today I will once more be a prophet: If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!”

Thus began the methodical dismantling of the Jewish community; one of the oldest communities on the European continent.  Called the “Endlösung”, the Final Solution was resurrected in Austria. It began with the systematic destruction of the Austrian Jews with the forced Jewish emigration to the concentration camps for later murder and annihilation.

So how long have the Jewish people been in Austria? This answer to that question in part includes another question; of how long has the Jewish prayer, “Shema Yisra’el”, been a part of the Judaism and the religious cultural history of the chosen people called the Jews? It was in 2008, along the Austrian border with Hungary at Halbturn, a team of archeologists discovered a 3^rd century amulet in the form of a gold Torah scroll with the Hebrew words of the Jewish prayer, Shema Yisrael, (Hear, O Israel! The L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is One). 

So with the returning Roman legions that participated in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple in the First Jewish–Roman War, there also came the first Jews that were brought as slaves to Italy. Many were then transported upwards to Austria in the 1^st century CE. This may have been the most immense immigration of the “First Jews” to Austria.  It also gives a clear perspective of the antiquity of this ancient Jewish prayer that has kept the national faith of Judaism alive in the hearts and minds of this remnant of the House of Jacob.

The first visible presence of a Jewish community in the city of Vienna began in the 12^th century when two synagogues were built in Vienna. At that same time also came a big influx of Jewish settlers that were absorbed into the Jewish culture of Vienna from Bavaria and from along the Rhineland. 

At the beginning of the 20^th century the Jewish population in Austria was 8.9%.  This peaked in 1923 when just after Adolf Hitler took control of the Nazi Party called the National Socialist German Workers Party, when the 1.865 million Austrians were represented by 201,513 Jews that were 10.8% of the Austrian population. In the year of 1934, four years before the Anschluss (1938), when the Nazi military took control and occupied the land of Austria, the Austrian population was 1.935 million with 176,0334 Jewish representing 9.1% of the Austrian population. 

In 1951, after the first census after World War II and the extermination of the Jewish people in the Holocaust of Europe, the Austrian population was 1.616 million. In that year, only 9,000 Jews remained after the genocide of the Jewish people in the concentration camps of Europe. In perspective, the Jewish presence in Austria of 8.7% in 1900, peaked to 10.8% in 1923, and then dropped to 9.1% in 1934, and collapsed to almost non-existence of 0.6% in 1951.

Out of the Holocaust of the Jews by the German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, the Jews were almost extinguished in Europe, but the loud cry of the archangels in heaven resounded throughout the entire European continent, “My people, Come Home!” To this day, in 2001, the last year of the Austrian statistics, the Austrian population was 1.550 million with 6,998 Jews representing 0.5% of the Austrian population.

Soon, very soon, the final guela will be completed. All the assimilated Jews of the world will have returned in aliyah to the Land of Israel and the final call by the archangel of HaShem, “Come out of her (Apostate Roman Christianity) My People!” will have come, and the final Exodus of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel will have been redeemed to the lands of their forefathers. The reunion and reuniting of the House of Joseph and the House of Judah will be completed; guided and directed by the Maschiah ben David. The wondrous prophecies of the ancient prophets of Israel and Judah will have been fulfilled. May that day come quickly!

The Inquisition and Anti-Semitism; Fellow Travelers in the Vatican in a Tortuous History of Hate against the Jews and Lost Israelites

“Galileo before the Holy Office” of the Inquisition, a 19th century painting by Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury 

Over the centuries, the Roman Catholic Church has admittedly been proud of their ‘responsible actions’ encouraged over the centuries by instituting innumerable pogroms against the Jewish people. The Jewish people or those whose affiliation sided with the Jewish people were killed in the millions for it was they who did not bow down to the authority of the “Vicarius Christi” or the “Vicar of Christ”.  It was Holy See who over the last 16 centuries have sought to destroy the last remnant of Torah believing and observant Hebrews, whose only visible remnant remains today as the Observant Orthodox Jews of Judaism.

These Catholic pogroms during the 15^th to the 19^th centuries were highlighted by the actions of the infamous Catholic Inquisition. This Great Inquisition in 15^th century France and Spain culminated finally in the “expulsion of the Jews from Catholic Spain” on the 9^th of Av in 1492 and virtually wiped the entire population of Lost Israelite Albigenses in the Albigenses Catholic pogrom and Inquisition.

Caught up in the net of absolute terror of the Albigenses Inquisition were many of the early Protestant reformers, plus the Waldensians, the Cathars, the Huguenots, and the Albigenses, who later became in part the American Puritans and Pilgrims. It is they who today are recognized by Jewish Orthodox scholars as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel represented as the Germanic Tribes of the Visigoths and the Vandals.

The Visigothic peoples and the Vandals were the only tribal peoples to toppled and raze the city of Rome. Yet, as conquerors, they were different.  They did not plunder and indiscriminately destroy the city of Rome, regardless of the infamous name of “Vandalism” that their enemies called them.  Rather they took with great discriminated care that which they sought, and then they left. They were after the gold of Rome. Let us read Destination Yisra’el documented in the sacking of Rome by the Visigoths:

Destination Yisra’el – “It took three separate sieges and one sack against Rome, as King Alaric plundered and terrorized the Roman people. Though the Roman Empire had now, under Theodosius declared the Nicene Creed to become the Orthodox creed of the Roman Empire, the forces of Alaric, an Arian Christian were attacked on the Christian festival of Easter by Stilicho that resulted in a costly victory for Rome. It shocked Alaric for he trusted that the sanctity of the Easter festival would provide immunity from attack and Stilicho was criticized for launching a preemptive attack on a Christian holiday.

 In that Easter attack, Alaric’s wife was taken prisoner by the Romans. Like the ancient Israelites in the wilderness, the battles with their enemies were all fought in the presence of their wives and children during their migrations in the wilderness of Sinai. So also the Visigoth invasion was more like a tribal migration rather than a military invasion.

So Alaric left Italy in 403 CE but the fear of Alaric spread through all Rome for the royal residence of the Emperor of Rome was transferred from Milan in the Northern regions of Italy to Ravenna. In order to shore up the defenses of Rome, the warriors of the Roman Legio XX Valeria Victrix were removed from Britain and recalled back to Italy.

 Five years later, Alaric returned again to Rome but was begged by Rome to desist from war and offered the bribe with a payment of 4,000 pounds of gold from the Roman Senate for his “expenses of mobilization”. But the Roman Stilicho, a friend of Alaric who brokered this “bribe” was assassinated with many of his chief ministers and the Roman government was now at war with itself.

 We must understand that the Visigoth Israelites were mercenary allied troops of Roman for many years. They were called the foederati, and now they realized that as allies they were ransacked and slain at the Battle of Frigidus. Now Alaric had 30,000 additional mercenaries clamoring for the destruction of Rome. They crossed the Julian Alps, where he had been before, and for the second time, laid siege outside the walls of Rome.

While Rome starved inside, Alaric bargained outside; this time for a ransom of 5,000 pounds of gold, 30,000 pounds of silver, 4,000 silken tunics, 3,000 hides dyed scarlet, and 3,000 pounds of pepper. With his ransom in hand, he withdrew again and thus ended Alaric's second invasion and first siege of Rome.

Again in 409, Alaric was again negotiating with Rome. He wanted a 200 x 150 mile swath of Italian land as a homeland for his people. With their homeland, they were prepared to live secure from Roman interference in peace between the Danube River and the Gulf of Venice under the leadership and control of King Alaric. The new Roman Emperor Honorius refused so the second siege and blockage of Rome was instituted. With negotiations with the Roman Senate, a rival emperor, Priscus Attalus was placed in power…

This charade of power by Rome did not last long, and Alaric “sacked” the puppet emperor and a true military siege was placed outside the gates of Rome. History is meager on the details, but within days, either by treachery or surprise, on August 24, 410 CE, the Israelite King Alaric and his Visigoth warriors broke through the Gate at Porta Salaria on the northeastern wall of Rome. For the first time in 800 years, Rome was at the mercy of her foreign occupiers. Then something strange happened.

As would be expected, if you followed the history of Imperial Rome and later Papal Rome, their merciless treatment of their enemies and opponents was legendary. The Roman ecclesiastical records that remain concerning the “Sack of Rome” all speak with amazement at the honor and mercy that the Romans received by King Alaric and the Visigothic warriors…

What was even more intriguing, according to innumerable authors, When Alaric forces left the city of Rome, the Treasures of Solomon’s Temple became a part of their tribal possession. When they left, they headed directly over to the Walled Fortress City of Carcassonne located in the Languedoc Province in the southwestern region of France. Here in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountain is where the Visigoths made their “Masada” called the Castle Stronghold of Montségur. Here along with the numerous 11,000-foot peaked ranges between France and Spain is today still a wild country of sparse settlements. Also there are innumerable caves, most of which have never been explored. Somewhere in these caves, such as at Qumran near the Dead Sea, it is believed the Treasures of Jerusalem that were entombed in the dungeons of the Rome were now entombed in a new home, today known only by G-d and the angelic hosts.

According to legends, the Treasures of Solomon were secreted in the grottos near Sabarthea, or in another legend, the Grotto of Ornolac or Fontanet. Then there were the legends about cavern called “The Cathedral” or the chamber called “The Tomb of Hercules”.

Yet, the “Treasures of the Visigoths” were much larger than the “Treasures of Solomon” for the Visigothic Treasures included the two bribes of 4,000 pounds of gold, and later the 5,000 pounds of gold that were given the Visigoths to keep them from destroying the City of Rome. One thing is known, these “Treasures of the Visigoths” were within site of the “Eagle Nest” Citadel of the Cathars at Montségur and the nearby village of Rennes-le-Chateau near Couiza.  

Over the centuries, one fact earned them great respect, the Visigoths and the Vandals were sympathizers to the Jewish people, not knowing that they were their tribal brothers. Does it stand to reason that the G-d of Israel was keeping track of his own?" 

By traditions the Visigoths and the Vandals removed the vast Jewish golden horde captured by Rome from Jerusalem in 70 CE secreting it in the Pyrenees Mountains separating southern France from northern Spain.  Not only that they created the Kingdom of the Visigoths that rivaled any other kingdom on the European Continent.  For over two hundred years, they ruled over the entire lower half of France, including most of Spain, except for the ancient Basque region of unknown antiquities, and the western region These facts were revealed in the Destination Yisra’el’s series of bogs titled;

Extent of the Visigoth kingdom of Aquitaine in the Capital city of Toulouse by 500 CE 

It was in 2006, as BibleSearchers Reflections was studying Part Two of a series titled, “The Influence of the Persian Ram upon the Modern Islamic Shi’ite Nation of Iran”, they began to outline in part the differences between the Visigothic Kingdom of Aquitaine in Southern France and King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella’s Roman Catholic Spain in how they identified and treated the Jewish people in Spain and Southern Europe. This resulted in the mini-article titled, “The ‘Noble’ Visigothic Kingdom of Aquitaine and Hispania and Nazarien, the disciples of Linus, the first Nazarene bishop of the Roman Christian Church.” When we read this we must remember that Visigoths were part of the Germanic tribes of the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and the Vandals that were parts of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that carried a genetic affinity to the Jews, not knowing of their own lost heritage.

BibleSearchers Reflections – “In the ferment of Western Europe from the 6^th to the 11^th centuries, several major trends were merging in the lands once controlled by the Western Roman Catholic Church. With the fall of Rome in September 4, 476 CE, the Italian peninsula was now under the control of the Kingdom of Odoacer and the “Gleaming” Ostrogoths (Eastern Goths) when Romulus Augustus, the Emperor of the Western Roman Empire was deposed.

The Spanish Iberian Peninsula and southern France were now under the control of the Arian inspired “Noble” Visigothic Kingdoms of Aquitaine and Hispania (Western Goths).  The Arian Visigoths were quite tolerant to the Jews as their teachings attributed to Arius the Alexandrian presbyter was more closely in affirmation of the One-G-d of Israel in opposition to the mainstream Trinitarian Christological doctrine of Roman Catholicism. This toleration to the Jews continued in the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis, called Septimania, when Theodoric II, king of the Visigoths assumed control in 462 CE.

Here lay the fortified city of Carcassonne where Theodoric II built the Basilica dedicated to Saint Nazaire. This appears to be a strange act as the name Nazaire appears to have some affinity to the early Nazarenes. According to the legends of the Early Christian Nazarenes, Nazarien was the son of a Jewish nobleman called Africanus who followed the “law of the Sabbath” and a Nazarene Christian called Perpetua who followed the “law of baptism”.

Nazarien lived for a while in Rome during the reign of Nero and according to the traditions was baptized by either the Apostle Peter or Linus, reputed by Rome to be the first Roman Christian Pope, but in actuality was the First Priest of the Jewish Nazarene Ecclesia that was held in the palatial home of the Roman Senator, Rufus Pudens Pudentianna.”  

Nero's Human Torches (Leading Light of Christianity) – Oil on Canvas Painting in 1876 by Henryk Siemiradzki (1843–1902)

As the histories of ancient Britain are becoming more clear, we begin to realize that this young Linus, who became the “First Priest of Jewish Nazarene Ecclesia in Rome” (later known as “Bishop of Rome” and even later, “Pope of Rome”), was the prince heir of the British throne of the Silurians in Wales in western Britannia.  He was the son of Caradactus (Caratacus) who as the Pendragon of Britain (nominated military general of all the Celtic tribes on the Isle of Britannia), led the nation at war against the imperial domination against Rome. Caradactus would later become the most feared enemy of Rome.

The father of Linus, Caradactus, became the Pendragon of Britain and earned the title as the most feared enemy of Rome. When Caradactus (Caratacus), after fifty pitched battles the British won against the Romans, has his own Celtic Israelite troops routed when the largest military assault on the Isle of Britannia in history, fled to his cousin’s palace.  Captured by the Romans, he and his family went to Rome. There Caradactus, speaking to the Roman Senate in the presence of the Empress, won his clemency but remained in Rome for seven years and lived in peace with Rome, upon his honor for the rest of his life.

Today, we know that Linus was the prince heir to the British Silurians in Wales. According to the Culdee Nazarene history in ancient Britannia, Linus was baptized by the Prince of David, Joseph of Arimathea and studied in the first Jewish Nazarene yeshiva whose instructors included Mary, Martha and Lazarus in the Nazarene mission in Glastonbury, England.”

The sister to Linus was the royal Silurian princess called Gladys (princess in Celtic). Along with the Caratacus the Pendragon of Britannia and his wife, Cartisman, the Roman military also took the whole family. This included King Lyre and his son, Bran the Blessed who became by British Culdee (Nazarene) legends, the first convert to the Jewish Nazarenes by the Joseph of Arimathea.

Here was also an amazing story, for Joseph of Arimathea, the rich man of Jerusalem who offered the royal family tomb to house the body of Rabboni Yahshua, for this prince of David was also a Roman Decurion. He held the imperial contract with Rome to mine the strategic military metals for the Roman legions; lead and tin. 

The children of King Caratacus in the entourage of royal captives included; Caratacus’ daughters, Princess (Gladys) and Princess Eurgain with her husband the Lord of Salog, and three sons, Prince Linus ap Caradoc, Prince Cyllin (Cynon) whose children included; Prince Cadvan ap Cynon, Prince Owain ap Cyllin and the most famous of all, the future King Coel of Britain who is remembered in the British Children Poem:

“Old King Coel was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he:

He called for his pipe in the middle of the night

And he called for his fiddlers three.

Every fiddler had a fine fiddle, and a very fine fiddle had he;

Oh there’s none so rare as can compare

With King Cole and his fiddlers three.”

King Coel, the ruler from Colchester England, became the father of Marcomir IV, King of Franconia and the grandfather of Clodimir IV, King of the Franks.  In a most amazing documentary of history, the Silurian royalty and the Roman imperial family married their children to each other’s royal dynasty or to Roman aristocratic families.  The young Princess Gladys was adopted by the family of Claudius Caesar and the Caesar of Rome gave her a new Roman name, Claudia Britannica.

While in route to Rome, the Silurian Princess Gladys, the later Claudia, fell in love with her Roman military escort, Rufus Pudens. He was the personal aide de camp to the Roman general over all the Isle of Britannia; Aulus Plautius. After arriving in Rome, and after being adopted by Claudius Caesar, now as a Roman and a British princess, Claudia Britannica was betrothed and later married in 53 CE as the wife of now the Roman Senator Rufus Pudens Pudentius. Together they lived on one of Rome’s seven hills, the Viminilus Hill, in a palatial estate called the Palatium Britannica (Palace of the British). 

Not only that, the sister to Caractacus, also “Gladys” was married to Aulus Plautius. The second “Gladys” in Roman society became known as Pomponia Graecinia. Pomponia and Aulus became wealthy aristocrats in the Roman society and she became legendary in the Roman literary art culture for her writings and poems and was held in high esteem amongst the Romans.

What is also amazing is that the entire family of Caratacus the Pendragon of Britannia was converted to the Jewish Nazarene faith. Even so they became respected and revered in Roman social culture. At the same time they openly worshipped as Orthodox Jews of the Messianic faith of the Nazarenes in the city of Rome.  Were they outcasts of Judah? Not so, for the Nazarenes are known to have originated from the Essenes in the Pharisaic traditions of Hillel the Great and Menahem the Essene.

It was with Rome’s most famous gossip columnist, and epigrammist, Martial, that history has preserved the legendary life of the British Princess and now Roman aristocrat, Gladys Claudia Britannica Pudentiana. Martial was notable in articulating vividly of the vagrancy and vulgarity of Roman society. Yet, it is noteworthy how he spoke of these friends, of whom he greatly admired the most; Rufus and Claudia. As recorded in the Works of Martial, we read:

Martial – “Though Claudia Rufina sprang from the blue Britons, how Latin is her mind! What beauty of form! Italian mothers might believe her Roman, Attic mothers their own. Thank the gods, she has been fertile of offspring to her virtuous husband, and though but a girl, hopes for sons- and daughters-in-law. So may it please the High Ones that she rejoices in one partner and rejoice always in three children.” Martial Bk xi, p.49

Martial on how high his esteem was of Gladys Claudia Britannica Pudentiana: “Claudia, you could measure up to the top of the Palatine colossus if you were shortened by a foot and a half.” Martial Bk viii, p. 211.

Martial on how different was the marriage of the Pudens senatorial family in comparison to the Roman society. “The foreign Claudia marries my Rufus Pudens; she calls him Rufus her Holy husband.” (Martial Bk IV, XVIII)

Martial on Claudia and Rufus – “Claudia Peregrina weds, Rufus, with my own Pudens; a blessing, O Hymenaeus, be upon they torches! So well does rare cinnamon blend with its own nard; so well Massic wine with Attic combs. Not closer are elms linked to tender vines, nor greater love that the lotus for the waters, the myrtle for the shore. Fair Concord, rest thou unbroken on that bed, and may Venus be ever kindly to a bond so equal knit! May the wife live with her husband when anon he is grey, and she herself, even when she is old, seem not so to her spouse.” Martial Bk IV. Xiii.

Martial on how we valued the literary advice of his friends. “You compel me to correct my poems with my own hand and pen, Pudens. Oh, how overmuch you approve and love my works who wish to have my trifles in autograph!” Martial Bk vii, xii.

(The relationship of the Roman family of Pudens and the British Silurian family is documented in Usher, British Ecclesiastic Antiquities 19, Archdeacon Williams’s, Claudia and Pudens; the Rev R.W. Morgan’s St Paul in Britain, Conybeare and Howson’s Life and Epistles of St. Paul, Vol II, p. 581,582,584,585, Baronius’ Annales Ecclesiastic, Vol. 1, p. 228, re Vol 2, Sec. 56, p. 56,64; Sec IV and V, pp. 111-112; Sec I and II, pp 148 and 150, Jowett, The Drama of the Lost Disciples, p. ; Lewis, Lionel Smithett, St. Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury, p. 23-26.)

The Mosaic in the Great Apse of the 4^th century Basilica of Pudentianna, built over the site of the Palladium Britannica (Palace of the British) on the where Senator Rufus Pudens and his wife, Claudia Britannica lived on the hill called Viminilus.  

We first learned that Claudia Britannica was a Nazarene convert by Joseph of Arimathea back in Britain and studied in the Orthodox Jewish Nazarene yeshiva in Glastonbury. The yeshiva headmaster was the Nazarene priest called Lazarus, and here students from around Britain and Gaul were instructed by Mary and Martha, close friends of Rabbi Jesus. 

What is also incredible are the historical facts that the Roman Senator Rufus Pudens was converted by his own half-brother, the Apostle Paul.  Yes, you read this correctly; the Roman Senator Rufus Pudens Pudentius is believed to be the half-brother of the Apostle Paul, who both shared the same Jewess mother, named Priscilla. Not only that their names are historically recorded in the writings of the Apostle Paul in a personal letter to Timothy and also in the Letter to the Nazarene Jews in Rome:

2 Timothy 4:21 – “Greet Priscilla and Aquila (Orthodox Jews)…Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do (Rufus) Pudens, Linus, Claudia (Claudia Britannica) and all the brothers.

Romans 16:13 – “Greet Rufus (Pudens), chosen by the L-rd, and his mother (Priscilla), who has been a mother to me, also.” (“whose mother and mine are the same”; NKJV)

Now let us return to the BibleSearcher Reflection’s article cited above titled, The ‘Noble’ Visigothic Kingdom of Aquitaine and Hispania and Nazarien, the disciples of Linus, the first Nazarene bishop of the Roman Christian Church.”

BibleSearchers Reflections – “It was Linus the prince, who gave up royal life heir to the Royal Silurian throne in Southern Wales to become the first Nazarene priest of the Jewish Nazarene Ecclesia in Rome. He was ordained according to the Apostolic Constitutions by the Apostle Paul, his uncle to be the first priest of the Roman Nazarene Ecclesia. It was Nazarene Priest Linus in Rome, who baptized the Nazarene ‘Christian’ Nazarien.

The bodies of Nazarien (Nazarius) along with a Nazarene friend called Celsus were later discovered martyred for their faith. This event came during Nero’s persecution against the Jews that also swept up the Jewish Nazarenes just after the Great Fire in Rome (64 CE) that consumed a large section of the residential region in Rome.

Their bodies were discovered by Ambrose, the bishop of Milan, and documented in the “Vita Amrosii” of Paulinus in a garden outside the walls of Milan and interned in the Basilica of San Nazaro and Celsus.

The Fortified Cathar City of Carcassonne in the regions North of the Pyrénées in Southern France

It was in the heavily fortified city of Carcassonne that formerly was under the control of the Visigothic Lost Tribes of Israel from mid-France to the Gates at the Strait of Gibraltar in Southern Spain. Later, the Frankish king Clovis was rebuffed from capturing the city in 508 CE. There was no attempt made against this city again until it was taken by the Islamic Moors called the “Saracens” in 725 CE. For two hundred and seventeen years, the Lost Tribes of Israel that were a part of the Germanic Visigothic Kingdom remained a free country independent of foreign intervention (United States is 236 years old).

During the era of the crusades, this walled city of Carcassonne became associated with the Albigensians. They were also known as the Cathars or “pure ones”. The Cathars were later condemned as a heretical Christian sect because of what their enemies called their dualism and Gnostic religious beliefs.

What was most significant was they were among the remnant of the early Christians to continue to strongly oppose the sacraments of the Roman Church whom some scholars proclaim was the true origin and reservoir of Christian Gnosticism. Probably the last significant stronghold of protestation against the monolithic control and corruption of the Roman Catholic Church, the Cathars became subject to violent persecution by the Roman Christian Church in the 12^th century.

As a mass movement, the Cathars were overwhelmingly popular with the populous. The Roman papacy had not encountered an institutional and ecclesiastical resistance movement against Roman Orthodoxy since the days of Arianism and Marcionism over 900 years earlier.

As such, the Cathars were strongly hunted and persecuted especially in the regions and strongholds where they lived in the middle of the Pyrénées in southern France. This was called Languedoc-Roussillon region where their capital city, Toulouse was southwest from the town of Albi (ancient Albiga), one of the ancient centers of the Albigensians.

The final end of the Cathars and the Albigensians came with the “Albigensian Crusades”. During this time, the city of Carcassonne was captured in 1209 by the armies of the English noble, Simon de Montfort.”

The Cathars and the Albinengians, the descendants of the Visigoths and the Vandals were severely hunted and persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church.  According to Roman Christian history, this was the sole purpose of the Roman Catholic Inquisition in Southern France.  The Albigensian Inquisition was founded by Dominic of Osma (Dominic de Guzmán) and Domingo Félix de Guzmán (1170 – August 6, 1221). Besides being the prelate founder of the Albigensian Inquisition, Dominic also was the founder of Roman Catholic Order called the Dominicans also called the Order of Preachers (OP). 

As the Dominican founder of the Albigensian Inquisition and its first Inquisitor-general, Dominic has been carefully shielded by Catholic apologists from the blame of the brutal torturing of these ignoble acts upon humanity. Yet, as the founder and leader, he has to share the blame of these ignoble deeds upon the Jews and also the Visigothic Lost Israelites.

Even so, the Roman traditions of Dominic as the founder of the Albigensian Inquisition have uniformly affirmed his direct association not only within the Dominican Order histories, but also by the panegyrists of the Inquisition. This inquisition also was universally sanctioned by Roman Catholic dogma as confirmed by the Bull Invictarum by Pope Sixtus V, and confirmed in the Bull of Innocent III. As Wikipedia described this painting below:

 

Saint Dominic Presiding over an Auto-da-fe from the Sacristy of the Santo Tomás church in Ávila.

Wikipedia, Inquisition – “Representations of an auto da fe (Portuguese for “act of faith” which was the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates after the Spanish or Portuguese Inquisition had decreed their punishment) often depict torture or someone being burnt at the stake. The two victims in the lower right, tied to the two posts are resting on two stakes driven horizontally into the posts behind them, meant to prolong their deaths by staving off suffocation by the ropes or garrotes wrapped around their necks.

Another likely purpose of these stakes was possibly a means of further shaming and humiliating the victims, due to their apparently intentional resemblance to the human male anatomy. The two victims on the posts await their deaths as the pile of ignited firewood before them is fed and fueled sufficiently to attain the desired result.

The two victims standing in line await their own turns next on the posts. All of these victims are Cathars, allegedly St. Dominic's primary targets. Some defenders of St. Dominic dispute the likelihood that the saint ever acted as an inquisitor.

Painted in the late 1400's, it depicts an episode in the life of St. Dominic from nearly 300 years earlier. In Pedro Berruguete's 15th century Spain, auto da fe's were still a fairly routine and commonplace event and thus many elements of the painting most probably portray one or more real life events as directly witnessed by the artist himself. Note what may have been a slight form of protest by the artist, in his decision to place a few sleeping or drowsy attendants in the work.”

So today again we take a pause and reflect. As the picture becomes even clearer of the history of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, we see continuously how the G-d of Israel has taken the Ten Northern Tribes who rebelled as the Northern Kingdom of Israel, and because of their abominations against the Holy Name of G-d, had to expel them. Except for traces of cultural resemblances, such as an affinity to worship on the Jewish Seventh-day Shabbat (Waldensians), use of candles to herald the arrive of their former Sabbath, and numerous other vestiges of hidden family traditions, the G-d of Israel still used them also for His Divine purpose.

We are reminded of Cyrus the Great, who became the messiah for the redemption of the Jews from their Babylonian captivity, who we now believe today was a descendant of the Pasargadae (sons of Gad) Israelite tribe called the Tribe of Gad. It also took a hidden Jew, Hadassah (Esther) who became the Queen of Persia and became the chosen emissary to deliver the Jewish people from a Persian holocaust orchestrated by the Persian Vizier Haman the Agagite. Are we willing to today to suggest that the ancient manifestations of G-d’s mighty hands will also become a part of the cycle of “History repeats itself!”?  Are we willing to affirm that the modern day Haman [A(haman)inejad] will give us also a modern day Esther and Mordecai?

They also will not be spared but will have to be counted as part of the brotherhood of the House of Jacob as though they were one with the Jews of Judah just as the Waldensians, the Huguenots, the Cathars, and the Albigenses were persecuted for allying themselves with the Jews over 300-700 years ago.   

The role of prophetic understanding has now slipped away from Christian scholars as the Jews are now carrying the mantle of end-time prophetic understanding. One of the roles the Sages of Judah is to become the conduit for the Divine to give us hints as to HaShem's role in bringing forth the "Appointed Time" and the revealing of the Messiah. The great theme in all of this is the restoration of All Israel. This is not a conditional prophesy and neither is it a Jewish prophesy, but a Hebrew-Israelite prophesy.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is a Frankist Jew: No wonder he resents Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu

 
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are greeted by the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy upon their arrival at Palais Rohan in Strasbourg 

One of the greatest and most humorous yet sad stories of the recent international press is the honest press reporting of the secret gaffes between the Jewish French President Nicolas Sarkozy and America President Barak Hussein Obama. This event occurred after a recent press conference at the Economic Summit of the Group of 20 international leaders at the French resort at Cannes. Here was where some the press conference attendees were still wearing their headphones while the microphones were still open nearby and collectively they caught the conversation of the two leaders in this private conversation.

Here, unknown to both world leaders, and in a moment of transparency, it was revealed to the whole world what was going through the minds of these two international leaders as they spoke to each other.

Sarkozy to Obama concerning Netanyahu: “I can’t stand him. He’s a liar.”

Obama’s reply to Sarkozy: “You're tired of him; what about me? I have to deal with him every day".

This news of this private conversation was accidently broadcasted by the French website Arret Sur Images where certain reporters were listening to Sarkozy’s comments spoken in the French language through a translator and the reply by Obama.

The reason for the media’s release of the conversation’s text was not because of the crass unprofessional conversation of two world leaders, but because it appeared to depict the prickly character of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Overall it depicted the strong international political insensitivity against the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the State of Israel by the European press that is overwhelmingly in support of the creation of a Palestinian State.

The sad truth is that most of these political press reporters represent the countries in the northern half of the European continent. If the truth be really known, they were comprehend that they represent a majority of the Lost Tribes of the Northern Nation of Israel that rebelled against the G-d of Israel and had to be driven from the land of their forefathers.

 

Sarkozy on Netanyahu - “I just cannot look at Netanyahu, even though I must appear to be his Friend” 

This insensitivity of the press in this instance against the leading statesman in Israel, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stand in sharp contrast to the protectionism of the international press to withhold similar quotes by President Obama. This fact was most succinctly noted when Obama chastised President Sarkozy for not informing him in advance of the French’s intent to vote in favor of the Palestinian membership on the United Nation’s cultural agency, UNESCO.

As Republican Senator John McCain, member of the Foreign Relations Committee put these private comments into perspective:

Senator John McCain – “I happen to be a great admirer of Prime Minister Netanyahu…I've known him for years, and Israel is under more pressure and probably in more danger than they've been since the '67 war and that kind of comment is not only not helpful, but indicative of some of the policies towards Israel that this administration has been part of…These attitudes and policies, McCain believes, are responsible for the total failure of the Israel-Palestinian peace talks.

Strange as it may seem, French President Sarkozy a few days later, while speaking before the World Jewish Congress stated that the State of Israel had failed to win over the international media in their “built in bias” against Israel. Does this “built in bias” reflect also the bias of President Sarkozy?

While the report proclaimed that the French website Arret Sur Images “accidently broadcasted” the smearing attitudes of the American and French , it also highlighted the unprofessional journalistic conduct of the six reporters from Reuters and the Associated Press who kept to the script of an unwritten French policy and refused to publish the comments in spite of the fact that “undiplomatic remarks” are news by every definition, for they reveal the true inner thoughts that sway the polity of international leaders. As Arnold Ahlert wrote in the Jewish World Review:

Arnold Ahlert – “What reporter in his right mind would sign anything that prevents him from reporting on a story made available, not by subterfuge or anything else resembling illegality, but by the carelessness of two world leaders? Since when did a legitimate 'gotcha' moment become off limits to the press?"

Yet, it was only six years ago in 2005 that the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is Jewish by birth, rose to power as supposedly the most pro-Israel French president in decades. Today it appears that “Friends of Israel” keep strong pretenses of Israeli support when they need Jewish money and support during election, but are also so willing to stab the State of Israel and her leaders in the back behind the scenes. The question is why?

It was in January, 2005 when Nicolas Sarkozy assumed the leadership of the French’s Union for a Popular Movement (UMP). Soon he was on the road to eventually becoming the official resident of the Élysée Palace in Paris after the 2007 presidential election.  Who then is this Nicolas Sarkozy (Nicolas Paul Stéphane Sarkozy), who is now standing side by side with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel seeking to find the right formula to save the European Union from total economic collapse? Yet, who is this internationally known political leader, and how is he of Jewish descent? 

On Sarkozy’s paternal side, he is of French and Hungarian ancestry, born to a Pál István Ernő Sárközy de Nagy-Bócsa, a Hungarian aristocrat who was married to a French and Greek Jewish bride, Andrée Jeanne "Dadu" Mallah (b. Paris, 12 October 1925), at Saint-François-de-Sales, Paris XVII. According to Jewish halakhic law, to be a Jew, your mother must be a Jew, is the reason the French president is known by his Jewish origins.

The marriage between his parents lasted only nine years when his father became independently wealthy with his own advertising agency. While they lived in his wife’s family estate, he also refused to give her family any financial assistance, later divorced Andrée Jeanne in 1959 and abandoned his family.  According to the memoires of Nicholas Sarkozy, he claimed that during his childhood, he felt inferior to those who were wealthier and taller then he and put his life into this personal vignette; there was nothing that shaped his life more than being abandoned by his father and shaped much of who he is today.  

Palais de Élysée, the Official Residence of France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy

Jewish Ancestry of French President Nicholas Sarkozy

The Jewish maternal grandfather of Nicolas Sarkozy was Aron Benico Mallah (1890-1972) a native of the Ottoman Empire’s Salonica married an Adèle Bouvier (1891 – 1956) who was raised in Lyon, France along the Rhône River Valley. They as a family immigrated to France where he was baptized a Catholic in 1917 as "Bénédict/Benoît Mallah". 

Nicholas Sarkozy’s great grandfather, Mordohai (Mordechai) Mallah (about 1865 – 1913) of obvious Jewish name, lived in the region of Thessaloniki, also in the Ottoman Empire. He married a Reyna Magriso (1868-1944) also from the region of Thessaloniki.

Nicholas Sarkozy’s  great great grandfather, Aron Nehama (Aaron Nehemiah) Mallah (1830 – 1898) was married about 1850 to a Rivka Eliakim (1830 – 1907) both of whose names are of Jewish descent. 

Nicholas Sarkozy and Thessalonkiki Sabbatean Frankism

According the Joseph Nehama (1881-1971) in his recent book titled, “History of the Israelites of Salonica” (Histoire des Israelites de Salonique) lays the claim that the Mallah family originated in the region of Provence in Southern France.  Here, Haim Joseph Mallah, a Frankist rabbi from Salonica spent his life as an avid propagandist of the Jewish Sabbateanism heresy throughout the northern European regions of Ukraine and Poland until his death in 1720.

Here we later find Rabbi Benedict Mallah, Sarkozy’s grandfather, who became a member of the Donmeh Society of Thessaloniki. This secret society was called the Karakash subsect of the Sabbatians where an earlier Jacob Frank, gained his fame as a false Jewish messiah in the 18^th century and whose most famous modern adherent of recent years was reported to be Pope John Paul II.

There in the 17th Arrondissement district of Paris, Nicholas grandfather, Benedict Mallah, build a small mansion that was later lived in by his daughter, Andrée Jeanne "Dadu" Mallah (b. Paris, 12 October 1925), of French and Greek Jewish origins. She was married to Pál István Ernő Sárközy de Nagy-Bócsa on 8 February 1950 at Saint-François-de-Sales, Paris XVII, on 8 February 1950. That marriage lasted only nine years when his father, Pál István Ernő Sárközy, became independently wealthy with his own advertising agency.

While they lived in his wife’s family estate, he refused to give Andrée Jeanne’s family any financial assistance, and later divorced Andrée Jeanne in 1959 and abandoned his family.  According to the memoires of Nicholas Sarkozy, he claimed that during his childhood, he felt inferior to those who were wealthier and taller than he. Yet, the event that shaped his life most was being abandoned by his father. As he put these memories in a time capsule of his life, Sarkozy said:

President Nicholas Sarkozy – “What made me who I am now is the sum of all the humiliations suffered during childhood.”

“I, the grandson of a Greek: Nicolas Sarkozy’s Salonika”

I was in 2008 that a book titled, “I, the grandson of a Greek: Nicolas Sarkozy’s Salonika” was launched about Sarkozy’s Greek Jewish roots. Here it tells the story of Sarkozy’s maternal side of the family, the Mallah’s, who in the 16^th century Salonika became a part of the flourishing Sephardic Jewish community, called the “Jerusalem of the Balkans”. Benedict Mallah, his grandfather immigrated to Paris in the early 20^th century. There he served in the French army in World War I, and afterwards became a Roman Catholic. This was classic style for Frankish Jews to go underground into the Roman Catholic Church.

According to President Sarkozy, like so many other Neo-Cons in the world political scene, he learned about his Jewish roots after his grandfather died in 1972 when he returned to Salonika for the first time to meet his mother and aunt and receive possession of his part of the family inheritance. 

It was in the 17^th century that the Jewish world was torn asunder by the rising popularity of what became Judaism’s most devastating messianic revivals; the Jewish false messiah Shabbatai Tzevi, the avatar of Judaism. He with his false prophet, Nathan of Gaza, promised to declare the “day of the messiah” on June 18, 1666 (6^th month, 6+6+6 days, 1000 + 666). Instead Shabbatai Tzevi was captured by the Sultan of Constantinople, and given an offer he could not refuse; conversion to Islam. Instead of bringing the Jews a Jewish messiah, he led over half of 17^th century Jewry into Islam.

Fifty years later, Yakov ben Judah Leib Frankovich (1726-1791) was born to a Jewish rabbi in Podolia, in “old” Poland (now days Ukraine). As a cloth merchant he traveled to the Middle East, and became a secret initiate into the Shabbatean rites of the Donmeh Shabbataism as part of the Karakash subsect of Shabbatai Tzevi’s Jewish heresy.

One of the most prominent of the Dolmeh disciples was Yakov ben Judah. Almost at the age of thirty, Yakov ben Judah, returned to Ashkenazi Poland and posed as an Orthodox Sephardi Jew where he was first called a “frenk” or a Sephardi Jew in Yiddish. With his Frankovich name, he assumed a new name, Jacob Frank. Rabbi Jacob Frank’s followers to this day are active by intermingling mystical Judaism with Islamic Sufism and transported these ideas in the mid-18^th century to the region of Poland and Ukraine.

Here arose the heretical Jewish sect called Frankist, who also in devastation like lightning became indoctrinating the Eastern European Jews into the mystical anti-Torah, anti-Talmudic teachings of mystical Shabbataism. They then created a new heretical Jewish sect called Frankists. As BibleSearchers wrote in 2004, in the article titled, “The Sabbatean Jews and their Affect on Global Politics”, it reflected on the catastrophic damage done by the “The Jewish non-Jews and the Modern Dolmeh Shabbatean Jews”: 

BibleSearchers Reflections – “Even today the evil ministry of the false messiah, Shabbatai Zevi, according to (Rabbi Marvin) Antelman is still alive and well in the Turkish sect called the Donmeh.

For example the dates of the festivals of the Lord as the Donmeh Shabbatean Jews worship them today have been changed. The Festival of Purim, the date commemorating when the Jews were saved from a holocaust by Haman the prime minister of Persia by the life and actions of a young Jewess who was Queen of Persia, Hadassah or Esther have now been turned into a festival of orgies. According to Antelman,

Rabbi Marvin Antelman – “The Donmeh now converted the Shabbatian Purim into an annual orgy, when members exchanged spouses for a ceremony called "extinguishing the lights." The Donmeh justified their Purim orgies, and their regular practice of sharing wives and engaging in other sexual activities, by citing biblical precedents.” (Rabbi Marvin Antelman – To Eliminate the Opiate, page 101)

What the Shabbatean connection does reveal is the suppression of authentic Judaism and the conversion to secularism and Catholicism is an identity process that is unnatural to the Jewish psyche. A Jewish non-Jew begins to hate himself to the point that he hates everything that is authentically Jewish. He wants so desperately to rebel against the God who has taken his people into a covenant relationship and calls them, “His chosen ones.”

The Sabbatean Jew wants so desperately to be like every other person, but he cannot. To the core, he will always be Jewish whether he accepts it or likes it or not. The subterranean history of the Sabbatean Jew is blended with the false messianism of Shabbatai Zevi, the religious institutional control of Jesuit Catholicism, and the global financial control of the Jewish Rothschilds. Here is the fate of the liberal Jew, the secular Jew, and the anti-Torah Jew.”

Concerning the “Geo-political and Religious Influence of the Shabbateans and the Frankists, Rabbi Marvin Antelman, the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Rabbinic Court of America  wrote in his seminal book, titled, “To Eliminate the Opiate, Volume I”, the following:

Rabbi Marvin Antelman – “It was Rabbi Antelman in his seminal study showed that from the loins of the Illuminati Shabbataists, the Reign of Terror and the French Rebellion and the American Masonic Rebellion against Britain sprouted. Yes, all the founders of the young republic of American were members of the Scottish Masonic lodges.

From the loins of the Illuminati and the Shabbateans, the Jews, Karl Marx and Frederick Engel established the roots of communism. From the loins of the Rothschild Frankists Sabbataeans, John Jowe Astor and Jacob Schiff went to America, enlisted the support of the robber barons of America, Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan, and established the roots of globalism in the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The goal of the CFR according to Chamish is “to overthrow the American Constitution and switch the nation’s diplomacy to Illuminates.”

The thread of political and moral corruption continued this time in the heart of German Jews in the 1830s. The Jewish Enlightenment was initiated by German Jewish author Moses Mendelssohn, ancestor of the German composer, Felix Mendelssohn. The movements of the Reform and Conservative Judaism were to bring ecumenical anti-Torah ideas of Christian Frankists into Orthodox Judaism. The goal was to dilute the morality of Torah-observant Jews. The Jews who did not comply were quietly removed and disappeared.” 

Rabbi Marvin Antelman - The Sabbatean-Frankists 

 

Rapidly Frankism swept through all Jewry in North and Eastern Europe. It was aggressively fought against by the famed Talmudic scholar, the esteemed Talmudist Rabbi Jacob Emden in the early 17^th century that became the first to expose the dangers of the teachings of the Sabbateans in the European region of Poland. It was BibleSearchers in the year of 2006 that investigated this era in the series of articles titled, “Jesus the Pharisee from the School of (Beit) Hillel in the Eyes of Talmudic Scholar Rabbi Jacob Emden”.

Rabbi Emden became the most passionate defender of covenanted orthodox Judaism against the infiltration of the Sabbateans and the profound destruction of what they were doing in the heart of Judaism in Europe. It was also during this great crisis of faith for the Jewish people with the messianic uprising of the false messiah Shabbatai Tzevi that Rabbi Jacob Emden went back to review all the fifty odd messiahs that had risen over the prior 16 centuries.

When he came to the life and ministry of Yahshua HaMaschiah (Jesus the Messiah) in the 1^st century Judea, he found one Jewish Messiah that was profoundly different that all the rest. Here was a Jewish messiah that not only lived the life of Torah, but lived and taught that His disciples were to live the precepts of all the Torah above and beyond the “letter of the law”. In his charges against the heresy of Shabbatai Tzevi, Rabbi Emden wrote a letter defending the life, ministry and the Torah of Yahshua the Messiah in “The Letter of Rabbi Jacob Emden, the Seder Olam Rabbah Vezuta (1757) to the Jewish Council of Four Lands”. Here was the opinion of this sage of Judaism concerning Yahshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene):

Rabbi Jacob Emden – “Certainly, therefore, there is no doubt that one who seeks truth will agree with our thesis, that the Nazarene and his Apostles never meant to abolish the Torah of Moses from one who was born a Jew. Likewise did Paul write in his letter to the Corinthians (I Corinthians) that each should adhere to the faith in which each was called? They therefore acted in accordance with the Torah by forbidding circumcision to gentiles, according to the Halakha, as it is forbidden to one who does not accept the yoke of the commandments. They knew that it would be too difficult for the Gentiles to observe the Torah of Moses. They therefore forbade them to circumcise, and it would suffice that they observe the Seven Noahide Commandments, as commanded upon them through the Halakha from Moses at Sinai.

It is therefore a habitual saying of mine (not as a hypocritical flatterer, God forbid, for I am of the faithful believers of Israel, and I know well that the remnant of Israel will not speak falsehood, nor will their mouths contain a deceitful tongue) that the Nazarene brought about a double kindness in the world. On the one hand, he strengthened the Torah of Moses majestically, as mentioned earlier, and not one of our Sages spoke out more emphatically concerning the immutability of the Torah.

And on the other hand, he did much good for the Gentiles (providing they do not turn about his intent as they please, as some foolish ones have done because they did not fully understand the intent of the authors of the Gospels.)”

Yet the virus of destruction continued to permeate through the Sabbatean Jews around the world. It would not be until just before the 200 Anniversary (1776-1976) of the Sabbatean Masonic birth of the United States of America that Rabbi Marvin Antelman, the Jewish Chief Justice of the Jewish Supreme Court of America became the first modern Jewish rabbi to exposed the modern agenda of the Jewish Sabbateans. In the year of 1974 he wrote a book called “To Eliminate the Opiate, Volume I” that you will find heading the list of every classic list of books on modern conspiracies. It was be followed by the sequel, “To Eliminate the Opiate, Volume II”, twenty four years later in the year of 1998 that exposed the vast influence of the Sabbateans within the modern Jewish Zionist State of Israel, and why their symbiotic relationships with the globalists was and is so profound to Jewish orthodoxy and covenanted Jews.

 
Like “Two Peas in a Pod”: Two Jewish European Powerhouse Rulers reshaping a New Roman Empire into the New European Union

So what we now see, through the maternal side of Sarkozy’s family are Jewish rabbis who helped create one of the most devastating catastrophes of Judaism. Outside of the Holocaust when over a half of Jewry in Europe was slaughtered in the concentration camps and crematoriums of Eastern Europe, the devastation was equally felt when half of European Jewry went underground and converted to Roman Catholicism supported  by the Jesuits and later the Jewish Jesuit, Adam Weishaupt’s Bavarian Illuminati while supported by Mayor Amselm Rothschild, the founder of the wealthiest banking family in the world; The Rothschilds. 

This pattern was carefully followed by the earlier heresy of Shabbatai Tzevi, when a large part of Eastern Mediterranean Jewry became members of the Ottoman Dolmeh Society in Turkey as “The Turks” and corrupted the mystical works of the Jewish Kabbalah, blending it with the mystical Islamic works of Sufism.

Now we know the “Rest of the Story”, for Nicolas Sarkozy is one of the chief propagandists for the Frankist sect of Jews who are against the Orthodox Jewish rabbanim and therefore are anti-Judaism or against the life Torah observance the foundation of Orthodox Judaism.  It is now known that Sarkozy is in very famous company, for both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI are alleged also to be a Frankist Jews.

Here we can begin to comprehend the mindset of today’s French President Nicolas Sarkozy who was raised through the influence of his maternal grandfather, and apostate convert or adherent of Donmeh Judaism from Ottoman Turkey, Rabbi Benedict Mallah.  What else can we expect?

Yet, the G-d of Israel does not give up upon his own. Both the Jews and the Lost Tribes of Israel were “chosen ones of the G-d of Israel”. The testimony is clear; there is “no-child of G-d” that Hashem is willing to be “left behind”.  Will the Jewish gene prevail?  Or is there s Divine “viral mole” that will transform even the most anti-Jew back into a halakhic observant Jew?

What mysterious the G-d of Israel has in store for us is only known by the Will of G-d!

The Jewish Moravian Ancestry of Pope Benedict XVI linked to the Maharal of Prague

The Family of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger – the young Joseph Ratzinger sitting on the left

 

If one comes to the conclusion that the purpose of the “chosen ones” of Israel was to prepare the pathway for the redemption of the Jews, the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, and all those who serve the G-d of Israel, then it would not be surprising to understand that over the centuries, the Jewish presence sitting on the papal throne of the Vatican has been significant. The latest comes with the blog from a Jewish Catholic blogger who wrote the following blog, titles, “Pope Benedict XVI's Jewish Ancestry.”

According to this genealogical analysis, the grandmother of Pope Benedict XVI was Maria Tauber-Peintner that once lived in Bolzano, Italy. That region of Italy was once a part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.  It is believed that she, Maria Tauber-Peintner’s ancestral background linked into the Jewish Tauber family living in Moravia and Hungary. They were descendants of the Moravian Jews called Aaron Tauber. This genealogy does not make Pope Benedict XVI a true halakhic Jew, for “to be a Jews your mother must be a Jewess” yet on both his paternal grandfather’s side and his paternal grandmother’s side, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI was a descendant of the famed MaHaRal of Prague, Rabbi Yehuda Loew (Leib) ben Bezalel in the 16^th century.

As described in his official biography by the Vatican’s Libreis Editrice Vaticana:

Libreria Editrice Vaticana – “Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, was born at Marktl am Inn, Diocese of Passau (Germany) on 16 April 1927 (Holy Saturday) and was baptised on the same day. His father, a policeman, belonged to an old family of farmers from Lower Bavaria of modest economic resources. His mother was the daughter of artisans from Rimsting on the shore of Lake Chiem, and before marrying she worked as a cook in a number of hotels.” 

First let us look at the Ratzinger family’s paternal lineage:

1. Rabbi Yehuda Loew (Leib) ben Bezalel [the MaHaRal of Prague] (c.1512-1609), m. Perla Shmelkes-Reich(c.1516-1610)

4. Rabbi (Moses) Samson / "Simson" / Bachrach (1607-1670), Rabbi in Goding, Leipnik, Prague, and Worms, m. Dobrusch Phobus (c.1610-1662)
5. Rabbi Jair Chayim Bachrach, aka "the Chavas Yoir" (1638-1702), Rabbi in Worms, m. Sarah [Dinah Sorle] Brillin (c.1638-1703)
6. Rabbi Samson / "Simson" / Bachrach (b. c.1657), wife's name unknown
7. Malka Bachrach (b. c.1680), m. Rabbi Zalman Shpitz, president of Beit Din in Eisenstadt

9. Nissel Knoepflmacher (b. c.1722), m. her father's youngest brother, Rabbi Moses Knoepflmacher(1718-1798) of Holesov
10. Jacob Knopfelmacher (b.1739) m. Katharina (b.1740)
11. Joachim Knopfelmacher (b.1764) m. Anna (b.1764)
12. Markus Knopfelmacher (b.1786) m. Betty

14. Betty (Elisabeth Maria) Tauber (b.1834 Mahr. Weisskirchen Moravia) married in 1858 at Rio de Pusteria to Anton Peter Peintner
15. Maria Tauber Peintner (b.1855 Rasa d.1930) m. Isidor Rieger
16. Maria Peinter Rieger (b.1884) m. Joseph Ratzinger
17. Joseph Alois Ratzinger(Pope Benedict XVI)

As Biblesearchers wrote in the sub-article titled, “The Abomination of Desolation”; the Creation of the “Image to the Beast” – a Cabbalistic Amoral Golem”, we read of the famed Hasidic story of the MaHaRal in Prague when he created golem;

Biblesearchers Reflections – “In the mysterious lands surrounding the city of Prague is one of the most fascinating of the Ashkenazi Hasidic tales about the creation of a golem. Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bazalel, known as the Maharal of Prague (1515-1609), created a golem out of clay with his son-in-law, Rabbi Isaac Ha-Koehn and disciple Rabbi Ya’aqov Sason ha-Levi. He did this in order to protect the Jewish community there against the threats of a Jew-hating priest at Easter.

This Catholic priest was spreading the “blood libel” that the Jews were capturing Gentile children and sacrificing them for Passover. The “blood libel” is one of the most mysterious of the anti-Semitic horrors inflicted upon the Jewish people. Of all the nations, races, and religions, only the Jews have divine injunctions against them for touching the blood of a human. This act alone will make them impure and unable to participate in any religious ritual or convocations to their God.

The Golem at Prague, by separate traditions, ran amuk and threatened to hurt many people so had to be deconstructed by the rabbi…These same observations we will have to ponder as we consider the anti-Messiah and the actions of the Gedolei Yisra’el, the “Great Ones” in the last days of this era.

This tale of the Prague Golem, using the mystical folklore, the supernatural, and the religious themes of old Europe has created the powerful imagery for novels and movies over the years. These range from Mary Shelley's “Frankenstein” to Karel Capek's “R.U.R”., where the word "robot" originated. It also was the theme of the Jewish 1978 Noble prize winner, Isaac Bashevis Singer's “The Golem” and the popular American TV series, “The X-Files”.

We even find a golem in the classic series “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien and Disney’s classic animated film called “Fantasia” where “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” created a “golem” as an animated broom. These are all memorialized today in the legends and stories of the Jewish Kabbalists in the Golem Museum in the Jewish Quarter at the city of Prague.

Coming from the early traditions of the Golem in Judaism, it was the Tractate Sanhedrin 38b that described that Adam was initially created as a golem when God shaped the form of His body from a shapeless hunk of clay. These golems were only to be created by those whose holiness and godliness were a part of their whole lives.

Yet, in the final years of the tribulation and the era of the anti-Messiah, there will exist an era of supreme evil that will be a Shabbatean dream. The anti-Messiah will become the incarnation of Satan himself, an angel of light when he is actually the supreme master of the forces of darkness.”

The Jewish Shabbatean Pope Benedict XVI

So from the loins of the famed Jewish Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bazalel, the MaHaRal of Prague we have now discovered the Jewish paternal roots of Pope Benedict’s XVI from his paternal grandmother, Maria Peinter Rieger. It also appears that Maria Peinter Rieger was a descendant of Rabbi Jonah Gerondi, whose ancestral family took on Catholic identity and Catholic names when the Bavarian Jews were persecuted in the 17^th century during the same era of the Shabbatean heresy of 1666.  

Here now we find Maria Peinter Rieger’s maternal grandmother, Betty (Elisabeth Maria) Tauber who was the paternal great grandmother of Cardinal Joseph Alois Ratzinger. This Ratzinger lineage back to Aaron Tauber of Moravia is depicted below;

1. Aaron Tauber of Leipnik Moravia [b.1658]
2. Isaac Tauber of Leipnik Moravia [b.1690] older brother of Joachim Lobl (Leopold) Tauber of Holesov Moravia
3. Jacob Tauber of Lepnik Moravia [b.1715]
4. Jonas Tauber of Mahr. Weisskirchen Moravia [b.1739 d.1822] m. second wife Rebekah Zerkowitz [b.1788] of Levitical Cohen lineage.
5. Jacob Tauber [b.1811] m. second wife Josefina Knopfelmacher
6. Betty (Elisabeth Maria) Tauber [b.1834] (b.1834 Mahr. Weisskirchen Moravia) married in 1858 at Rio de Pusteria to Anton Peter Peintner
7. Maria Tauber Peintner (b.1855 Rasa d.1930) m. Isidor Rieger
8. Maria Peinter Rieger (b.1884) m. Joseph Ratzinger
9. Joseph Alois Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

Aaron Tauber, born in 1658, was only eight years old when the famed false messiah, Rabbi Shabbatai Tzevi announced that the day of the “Messiah” would be revealed on the day of June 18, 1666 (June the 6^th month, 18 (6+6+6) in the year 1000 + 666).  This false Jewish messiah traveled to Constantinople to receive the keys of the East Roman Empire where instead he was captured, and imprisoned. He held his messianic court for several years in the prison of Constantinople. 

When Shabbatai Tzevi was finally given the ultimatum, either convert to Islam or is beheaded, he chose conversion to Islam and there took thousands of Jews with him into Islam.  During these years of great unrest and persecution of the Jews, many of them went underground and converted first around 1666 to Islam and Catholicism. Fifty years later, one of these descendants of Jewish descent, Adam Weishaupt of Bavaria was raised and trained as an adept in the Society of Jesus as a Roman Catholic Jesuit.

The messianic time of the end did not come, and the messianic millennial kingdom did not arrive and the anti-Torah writings of Shabbatai Tzevi were now underground. It was during this era that Yakov ben Judah Leib Frankovich, called Jacob Frank, was born to a Polish rabbi in Podolia in Old Poland in the Ukraine region. As Biblesearchers Reflections describes Jacob Frank as he was coming into a mature man:

BibleSearchers Reflections – “From Poland he (Jacob Frank) traveled to the Middle East as a cloth merchant. There in Turkey he was initiated into the secret Shabbatean rites of Donmeh Shabbataism. When he returned to the Ashkenazi Polish Jews they thought he was a Turkish Sephardi Jew and called him frenk, which in Yiddish means a Sephardi Jew. He soon assumed a new family name, ‘Frank’.

At the age of twenty nine (1755), when Jacob Frank returned to Poland, he had been fully indoctrinated to the mystical anti-Torah, anti-Talmudic teachings of mystical Shabbataism and transmitted his teaching to central Europe. He posed as an orthodox Sephardi Jew from whence came his name, Frank, which in Jewish Ashkenazi Yiddish means a Sephardi. There he founded the heretical Jewish sect called Frankists.

Jacob Frank soon began to have direct revelations from heaven and admonished his followers to convert to Christianity. They began to practice an underground religion that was anti-Torah and like Shabbati Zevi and Nathan of Gaza engaged in sexual activities forbidden by Torah. The halakhah of Torah was abandoned for a higher wisdom or knowledge. From the midst of Luria’s Kabbalah which was based on the Mosaic Torah, the Frankists claimed a new wisdom, the ‘Torah of emanations’ or the Christian Cabalah which was anti-Torah.

As such the Shabbateans and the Frankists corrupted the Jewish prophetic idea of the emanations of God in the TaNaKh (Old Testament) and instead of subjecting themselves to the emanations of the Almighty by their covenantal relationship with God and obeying His commandments; they reproduced a new ‘Torah of emanations’ which they could control. They took the spirit of the “little horn” of Daniel the prophet and in essence proclaimed that they ‘were like G-d’.

Adam Weishaupt, who later when on to create the Bavarian Order of the Illuminate, allied himself with Jacob Frank.  Here was now a Catholic Jesuit of Jewish descent, in alliance with a Polish Jew now indoctrinated with Shabbatean mystical Islamic Quabala which was the true Kabala of Judaism mixed with Islamic Sufism and became converting Jews from Judaism into Jesuit Roman Catholicism. They perverted the true ancient Torah teachings of spiritual morality into a profaned “messianic” concept that stated; “In the days of the messiah, that which was truth will become profaned, and that which was profaned will become truth.”

Rabbi Jacob Frank would later ally himself with Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Bavarian Illuminate, and Mayor Amschel Rothschild of Frankfurt, Germany. They took control of the 33^nd and above levels of the English and Scottish Masonry and imbedded within them concepts of the true Jewish mystical Kabala adulterated and profaned. It is now understandable the apostate cultural Jewish milieu that the ancestors of Pope Benedict XVI grew up within and were a part of.

Two centuries later, in the days of the “Great Advent Movement” of the 19^th century Second Great Awakening in America and Europe when William Miller and Joseph Bates began traveling the eastern seaboard of America preaching that the Messiah was returning. In this same era in the 19^th century (1820s-1844), Elisabeth Maria (Betty) Tauber was born (1834) in Moravia as a Moravian Jewess.  Her homeland was then a part of the Hapsburg Austrian-Hungarian Empire.  It appears that when she converted to Roman Catholic as hundreds of thousands did in the prior two centuries, she was severed from her Jewish family and her Orthodox roots in Judaism. .  

This was nothing new, for as we have seen earlier, Betty’s own family, once Jewish turned Roman Catholic during the 16^th century persecution of the Bavarian Jews. Later in that same era they later openly returned back to their Jewish roots in Judaism in the freer religious political atmosphere in Moravia.

Betty (Elisabeth Maria) Tauber later moved to South Tyrol region in the Northern Italy, then also a part of the Hapsburg Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was there that she lived with Anton Peintner and together they had a daughter, Maria Peintner. It would not be another three years after the birth of Maria in Rasa that Anton Peintner married Betty (Elisabeth Maria) Tauber in 1858.

So may end the quest and the enigma of Pope Benedict XVI. He was nominated by the Papal Conclave in Rome after only two rounds of voting and only 24 hours after the conclave of cardinal convened for the first time. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was officially elected Pope on April 19, 2005.

In the year of 1981, he was officially named the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which up to the year of 1954 was called the Holy Office of the Inquisition, hence the successor of the Grand Inquisitor.  As we shall see later, Pope Benedict XVI, was the 29^th Jewish Pope in the 266 Popes accepted by the Roman Catholic Church. 

According to the Prophecy of St. Malachy, the last pope of this world age will be nominated. His name will be Peter the Roman.

At the time of the end the G-d of Israel will use all of His Chosen Ones of Israel to complete His divine destiny for Planet Earth. Most of these chosen ones will have no idea of their chosen destiny. They will become the prime actors in the final act of the “Drama of the Ages”. In that day when the Messiah of Israel does reveal himself, also will be revealed all those whose destiny were linked to that august moment in human history. Also in that day, the full revelation of the Return of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel will come also to its full revelation.

The Amazing Debut of Emmanuel Kelly, an Orphaned Congenitally Deformed by Depleted Uranium Munitions, singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” on Australia’s X Factor: Imagine “Gathering Jewish Divine Sparks”

 
Emmanuel Kelly – X Factor Australia Vocalist Wonder singing John Lennon’s “Imagine”

On August 29, 2011, the Australian X Factor, the “Continent Down Under’s equivalent to America’s Got Talent competition completed their first or premiere audition.  Such is the beauty of our modern communication technology for soon after, BibleSearchers received this email from a Kol Ha Tor associate in South Africa, who received it from a friend in Australia: “I got this from a friend of mine in Tasmania. Turn on your speakers and listen to this guy Emmanuel Kelly sing.  It will definitely bring tears to your eyes. The judges were all in tears. Folks, how could the world possibly see this video, and still sanction bombing Iraq? The Sons and Children of God are one, regardless of the bodies in which we happen to seemingly find ourselves in at the moment. Be forewarned, this video will bring tears to your eyes...” 

Emmanuel told his extremely touching story to the X Factor Australian judges and local audience as 1.2 million people around the world watched his performance at the audition that ended the series premiere; by singing John Lennon’s song, “Imagine”.  The X Factor judges, Ronan Keating, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Mel Brown, and Guy Sebastian all gave Emmanuel a standing ovation as the raving audience that packed the house were now with tears in their eyes saluting a new Australian hero, Emmanuel Kelly. On that night, Emmanuel was living out a messianic dream of his life, and the life of John Lennon, the songwriter of the famous Beatles; a day when there would be no more war.

  

“Y-Tube - Emmanuel Kelly singing John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’” - The X Factor 2011 Auditions”

John Lennon’s Lyrics to “Imagine”

 “Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.”

Here is a song that brings new meaning to the coming age of the Maschiach Yisra’el (Messiah of Israel) when at a future Succot, Hashem will come to tabernacle (dwell) with His people.  At that age and the future New Heaven and a New Earth, there will be no heaven, for the Throne of G-d will now dwell with man.  Sin will be eradicated. The era of power, greed, and control will no longer be in existence and a brotherhood of all people will live in peace under the authoritative rule of the Maschiach ben Dovid (Messiah son of David), ruled by King David son of David. This is a life that Emmanuel and his brother Ahmed could dream and see fulfillment.

Emmanuel Kelly and his brother, Ahmed Mustafa was both born in war-torn Iraq.  This life story came forth when the judge asked Emmanuel, “When were you born?”  Emmanuel answered, “I do not know!” Stunned silence swept the audience and the judges were now transfixed. On that fateful night, Emmanuel shared his emotional story during his performance on the last night of the auditions of the series’ premiere.

At the presumed age of 17, Emmanuel was born in Iraq within three to four years after the war-torn years of 1991 when, Operation Desert Storm the U.N authorized American led Coalition of 34 Nations under the umbrella of the United States and America’s globalist President George H.W. Bush, won the war in three days in a lightning blitz from Saudi Arabia to Baghdad. This war opened a new type of horror to millions; today experienced by mysterious diseases, non-healing skin lesions, and gross deformities and malformation in Iraqi children and also children of the coalition’s military servicemen. 

So we have to ask the question, is Emmett and his brother of Jewish descent?  This is not outlandish for the Jewish people cohabitated with the Islamic Caliphate for 1260 years, between the years of 657 CE and the Declaration of the Balfour Agreement in 1917. So closed the time when the Jewish from Israel escaped into the wilderness during the Dark Ages when the pogroms against the Jewish were so harsh by Christian Roman Orthodoxy.  Only the G-d of Israel knows whether Emmanuel is of Jewish descent, but he carries that fact as a distinct possibility, and also  demonstrates that he has the soul of the Jew, yearning for the day of peace. 

So did a child with a Jewish soul (neshama yehudi) rise to the platform of international acclaim singing a song of “Peace when there will be no nations?”  This does not have to be a One World Order, but rather an era of Messianic peace.

The entire population of Iraq, Jews, Babylonian, and those of Islamic faith have lived in the land of the Babylonian Empire for the last 2,700 years.  The prophets of Israel yet have proclaimed that the wrath of Hashem, the G-d of Israel would someday “make the land desolate”:

Isaiah 13:1-9 – “A prophecy concerning Babylon, which Isaiah son of Amoz envisioned: Upon the high mountain hoist a banner; raise a voice to them; wave a hand, and let them come out the doors of the nobles. I have commanded My dedicated ones; I have also summoned My warriors to (execute) My wrath, to be exuberant over My grandeur.

The sound of commotion is in the mountains, like that of an enormous people, the crescendo of the kingdoms of gathering nations; Hashem, Master of Legions, is assigning officers for the legion of war.  They come from a faraway land, from the end of the heavens – Hashem and His weapons of anger, to devastate the entire land,

Wail, for the day of Hashem is near; it will come like a sudden attack from the Almighty. Therefore, all hands will grow weak and every human heart will melt. They will be terrorized; aches and pains will seize them; they will be in travail like a woman in childbirth.  Each man will be astonished at his friend; their faces are faces of flame.

Behold, the day of Hashem is coming, a day of cruelty, rage and burning anger, to make the land desolate; and He will annihilate its sinner from it…And Babylon, the choicest of the kingdoms, the splendor of the glory of the Chaldeans, will be like G-d’s overturning of Sodom and Gomorrah.

It will not be inhabited forever and it will not be settled from generation to generation; no Arab will pitch tent there, and shepherds will not make their flocks lie there. Martens will lie there and their houses will be full of ferrets, owls will live there and demons will dance there; cats will howl in their mansions, and jackals in their palaces of delight. Her time is soon to come; her days will not long endure!”

 
Children First Foundation Australian Humanitarian director, Moira Kelly with Emmanuel’s brother, Ahmed Ustafa and Family

The G-d of Israel put the young Iraq orphans, Emmanuel Mustafa Kelly and Ahmed Ustafa into the hands of Moira Kelly, one of Mother Teresa’a assistants in Calcutta for six months in 1986 and who returned again in 1987 to India to work with Mother Teresa’s mission.  Afterwards, in 1988, she was honored as Australia’s Bicentenary Young Woman of the Year and the Advance Australia Ambassador Award.

Moira Kelly became the legal guardian of the cranially conjoined twins from Bangladesh, Trishna and Krishna, who were separated in 2009 during a 32-hour operation at the Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital with a 16 member team lead by Wirginia Maixner, director of neurosurgery. 

She also is the legal guardian of X Factor contestant, Emmanuel Mustafa Kelly and his brother Ahmed Mustafa who were taken to the Mother Teresa Orphanage in Baghdad. Today Ahmed, as a quadruple amputee, is a swimming competition contender and preparing to represent Australia in the 2012 Paralympics in London.  

Emmanuel’s adopted mother’s numerous awards included: 

• 1992 - Paul Harris Rotary International Award for her work in The Bronx, New York City;
• 1994 she was awarded the first Sir Edward Dunlop award for humanitarian service;
• 2001 - Prime Minister's Award for outstanding community service;
• 2001 - White Flame Award from Save the Children for her service to disadvantaged children;
• 2001 - Officer of the Order of Australia in recognition of her service to both the Australian and international communities;
• 2003 - Victorian of the Year award;
• 2003 and 2004 - Nominated for the Australian of the Year awards

Is it not strange that this young orphan from Iraq, named Emmanuel meaning, “G-d is with us!” has now risen to the platform where all the world will see the horrors of war and the secret curse millions have had to live because of nations seeking to control the oil reserves of the world. It was the Prophet Zechariah who spoke concerning the end of the age, when Hashem, the G-d of Israel would come, remember the Jewish people, and at the appointed time would bless them. This prophecy will be fulfilled by the very name of the Prophet Zechariah that has become a prophetic oracle in itself; “ Zechariah ben Berechiah ben Iddo” meaning, “Hashem Remembers, Hashem Blesses at the Appointed Time”. 

Was Emmanuel appointed as an emissary of G-d before that “Appointed Time” when 140 nations on Planet Earth will be prepared to give a vote of affirmation in the United Nations for the creation of a Palestinian State within the State of Israel?  This fact alone would effective serve as a roost on the hills of Samaria for the Palestinians to cast weapons of mass destruction upon the Jewish people? Would the G-d of Israel allow the creation of a new national state whose only national goal is to seek the total demise and destruction of the State of Israel?

These same countries minus the United States that invaded the ancient land of Babylon prophetically fulfilled the prophecy that spelled the doom of the once great breadbasket of the world along the Tigris and the Euphrates River. Today they are rallying around the Palestinian peoples. They are seeking to dwindle down the British Mandate that was to have been the Jewish homeland; now to only 10% of the original mandated land. 

These are the same countries that are allied themselves into a coalition in 2003 and chose to rain upon the Iraqi countryside depleted uranium munitions; thereby releasing upon the ancient Babylonian landscape the atomic radioactive equivalent of 333,000 Nagasaki-type atomic bombs.

The world will now see the affects and curses upon all those affected by war and the effects of uranium munitions. The following is an award winning documentary film produced for German television by Freider Wagner and Valentin Thurn, titled;

“The Doctor, the Depleted Uranium, and the Dying Children.”

This 53 minute film exposes the use and impact of radioactive weapons during the current 2003 war against Iraq. The story is told by citizens of many nations. It opens with comments by two British veterans, Kenny Duncan and Jenny Moore, describing their exposure to radioactive, so-called depleted uranium (DU), weapons and the congenital abnormalities of their children. Dr. Siegwart-Horst Gunther, a former colleague of Albert Schweitzer, and Tedd Weyman of the Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC) traveled to Iraq, from Germany and Canada respectively, to assess uranium contamination in Iraq.

Cutting Edge Ministries has been at the forefront of exposing the affects of Depleted Uranium upon the Iraqi people and the military personnel from every country participating in the Iraq and Afghani Wars against Terror.  A war supposedly against terror has been the most effective to produce terror around the whole globe.

The Babylonians were the first to deprive the Jewish people of their national freedom given to them at the Mount called Sinai.  At the time of the end, Babylon will be the first to feel the judgment of G-d upon the land of ancient Babylon. As the prophecy of Isaiah continues, it spells out the final destruction upon the Iraqi nation;

Isaiah 13:19-22 – “And Babylon, the choices of the kingdoms, the splendor of the glory of the Chaldeans, will be like G-d’s overturning of Sodom and Gomorrah.  It will not be inhabited forever and it will not be settled from generation to generation; no Arab will pitch tent there, and shepherds will not make their flocks lie there. Martens will lie there and their houses will be full of ferrets; owls will live there and demons will dance there; cats will howl in their mansions, and jackals in their palaces of delight. Her time is soon to come; her days will not long endure!"

Once the Land called Babylon where many ancient Jews chose to remain when the Persian Israelite ruler, Cyrus the Great allowed them to return to their Promised Homeland and Afghanistan, the Land of the Pashtun peoples, the remnant of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel that chose to remain behind in the Middle East under Islamic rule, are today being destroyed by Depleted Uranium Munitions.

Yet, a day will come when all the nations of the world will turn against Israel.  They will use the Palestinian people, a people whose leaders have a genetic hatred against theJews in Israel to be the fulcrum of seeking to destroy Israel.  This is true for they  have earned the title as being Amalek, the Ancient Tribe cursed for extinction by the G-d of Israel because of their genetic hatred towards G-d chosen people.  

The model for the creation of a 2011 Palestinian State was already tried in 1938 when Adolf Hitler convinced the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that the country of Czechoslovakia should be forced by the global community to allow the Nazi Germans the right to protect the Sudetenland, the heartland region of Czechoslovakia whose population were culturally predominately of German descent.

Czechoslovakia, whose president was the one who proposed to the Treaty of Versailles that the Jewish people should have a national homeland would within twenty years (1918-1939) become the target of the globalist’s destruction. As BibleSearchers Reflections wrote in “The Jews, Hitler, the Holocaust and the Time of Jacob’s Trouble”:

BibleSearchers Reflections - “Nazi expansionism began in earnest in 1939. They had already taken over the Saarland by a plebiscite vote in January, 1935, and then in March 12, 1938, they took over Austria. In the Munich Conference on September 28 and 29, 1938, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain abandoned the most prosperous and most democratic country in central Europe, along with the leaders of France and Italy, when they conceded that the three million ethnic Germans living in the region in Czechoslovakia where they were a minority, could have autonomy within the center of the country of Czechoslovakia.

Chamberlain returned to England triumphant that he had brought, “peace in our time”, along with these words, “How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing.” By March, 1939, Germany had taken over Czechoslovakia and in six months, Britain was at war with Germany. Chamberlain was now history.”

Stranger facts could not be described for in 1938, as described in detail in the BibleSearchers Reflection article titled, “The Czech Sudetenland in 1938; a Model for the Palestinian Homeland in the Annapolis Accord in 2008”, America, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, so called “The Quartet” have also abandoned the most prosperous and most democratic country in the Middle East, when they pandered to the Hashemite rulers of Jordan and Saudi Arabia. They effectively sold the Jewish people’s homeland for a “Pot of Oil” just like Esau sold his own
birthright for a “Pot of Porridge”

 
The British Mandate dedicated for a Jewish National Homeland, “Palestine or Eretz Israel”

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain abandoned the most prosperous and most democratic country in central Europe, along with the leaders of France and Italy, when they conceded that the three million ethnic Germans should have access to semi-independence while living in central Czechoslovakia.

Would it not be strange to find evidence of Divine intent when seventy years later (1938-2008), this same globalist strategy would be resurrected again this time seeking Israel’s demise? It was President George W. Bush, who presided over the Annapolis Conference of 2008, and brought to the global community the intent of creating by international support a Palestinian State?  It is also interesting that in 1938 that there were three million ethnic Germans living in Sudetenland in central Czechoslovakia.  

Seventy years later in 2008, the Palestinian population was polled by Palestinian pollsters.  They found that in the West Bank and the disputed regions of East Jerusalem, there resided a population of 2.35 million Palestinians. Add to that number of the Palestinian population of 1.42 million in Gaza, we now have a total of 3.76 million Palestinian capable of fighting the Israeli Jewish people if they united into one Palestinian State. History has a sobering realism.

“Imagine” was one of the most prolific songs ever created by one of the Worlds great Musicians / peace activists. This song has stood the test of time and is an anthem for peace .
John Lennon 1940-1980

And so we have John Lennon in 1971 who released the song, “Imagine” that rocketed to international fame.  Forty years later, this one song that became one of the most remembered songs of all ages, was now sung in Australia by a young Iraqi man, who was orphaned with his brother at birth with severe congenital malformations caused by Depleted Uranium Munitions in the 1991 war called “Operation Desert Storm”: 

• 1999 – “Imagine” was one of the top 100 most-performed songs of the 20^th century;
• 2000 – “Imagine” ranked #23 in the 2000 best-selling singles of all-time in the UK;
• 2004 – “Imagine” ranked #3 on Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Songs of all Time;
• 2005 – Canadian Broadcasting Corp. named “Imagine” as the Greatest Hit of Songs in the past 100 Years;
• 2005 – The Recording Industry Association of America nominated “Imagine” as #30 on the List of 365 Songs of the Century bearing the most Historical Significance.

The question, did John Lennon tap into the Jewish soul, called the neshama yehidi, the aspirations for the day of messianic peace?  Was John Lennon a lost and hidden Jew?  This question has been asked before with no definitive answer.

We do know that the Beatle’s manager, Brian Epstein was Jewish and so was “John Lennon’s Jewish Lawyer”, Leon Wildes, who defended and emerged victorious in the precedent-setting decision called “Lennon v. United States. It secured John Lennon’s U.S. residency back in 1976 when a paranoid President Richard Nixon’s White House and the U.S. government sought to expel John Lennon from America when he called “Viet Nam an immoral war”.

And then there was the Jewish Alma Cogan, “John Lennon’s Secret Lover”, who was Great Britain’s greatest female recording stars of the fifties and early sixties. She packed theaters all over Britain, and was a dazzling performer on TV with her Jewish chutzpah. Overall she was a Jewish legend, who clocked up 20 hit records, more than any other British female singer as these hits spent amazingly a total of 109 weeks in the charts. Unfortunately she died prematurely at the age of 24 with metastatic ovarian cancer.

 
“Imagine John Lennon and the Jews – A Philosophical Rampage” by Ze’ev Maghen”

Then we read Aryeh Tepper’s book review in Jewish Ideas Daily on the “high-octane, laugh-out-loud funny, and occasionally caustic "philosophical rampage,” titled, “John Lennon and the Jews” written by an American immigrant who settled in Israel, now as a former member of the IDF’s tank corps, and a highly respected professor of Arabic literature and Islamic history in Israel, Ze'ev Maghen. Tepper found that Maghen was writing to the “population of tepid, English-speaking Jews whose love for their people has been displaced by the dictates of universalism and rationalism.”  

Here Aryeh Tepper began to explore his own identity as he walked his own walk of rediscovering his own Jewish identity, when he said,

Aryeh Tepper - “At the age of twenty-four I dropped everything, moved to Israel, put a kippah on my head, and enrolled in a Haredi yeshiva.

Rebellion? In part. But the rebellion didn't stop there. Turned off by a romantic view of Jewish identity that was, at its worst, articulated in vulgar, tribal terms, and tired out from investigating the brilliantly-crafted but virtual realities of the Talmudic sages, I spent my third year in yeshiva sitting in my apartment, studying the rational humanism of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, driven by the philosophical hunger of Plato's Republic. Not surprisingly, I later fell in love with Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed.

Of course, love was what it was all about from the start, like the love for the country and people of Israel that I inexplicably felt when I first landed at Ben-Gurion Airport at the age of nineteen. Completely clueless about anything Jewish, I spent Shabbat walking the streets of Tel Aviv with a friendly soldier, charmed by the familial warmth shown to me by complete strangers.”

The clash of Judaism came when “against this vision of an expansive, non-discriminating God, Maghen reminds his readers that the God of the Hebrew Bible most definitely plays favorites—because that's the way real love works.”  And to him, John Lennon expressed the great essence of the “expansive, non-discriminating God” that could only be realized in an era of peace when the Messiah of Israel rules with a “rod of iron”. 

And Tepper concludes by stating that the author’ book was best “grasped as an intimate letter written from one Jew to his brethren” (John Lennon included):

Aryeh Tepper – “But John Lennon and the Jews shouldn't be judged by such grating and grandiose claims. The book is better grasped as an intimate letter written from one Jew to his brethren, hoping to free their minds and warm their hearts, and it reminds us that, 3,000 years after God and the Jewish people first exchanged vows on Mount Sinai, Judaism remains a stunningly beautiful, vibrant, deep, and often bracing experience with the capacity to drive sensitive and erudite souls like Ze'ev Maghen crazy with love.”

Then there is Squiddo that wrote on the blog, “John Lennon and the Tikkun Olam”:

Squiddo – “A Kabbalistic story explains why Jews engage in Tikkun Olam, the process of healing, or repairing, the world. According to this story, G-d created the universe by absorbing so much energy that He exploded, rather like a spiritual version of the Big Bang Theory. When He did so, He shattered Himself. Thus, little pieces of G-d scattered all over the universe.

As Jews, we are supposed to find and reunite these lost pieces to make the world more whole. We do this by performing good deeds--helping others, working for social justice, and acting to make the world more like G-d envisioned it to be. A famous Jewish proverb explains, ‘He who saves one life, saves the entire world.’ John Lennon may or may not have been aware of Tikkun Olam, but he certainly followed its principles.”

Concerning the Beatle’s first manager, Brian Epstein, whose influence shot the Beatle’s to international fame, Rabbi Leiken on Rock’n Rabbi, “wrote an interesting blog, “The Jewish Beatle” which highlighted Brian Epstein’s Jewishness and Paul McCarthy’s statement, “If anyone was the fifth Beatle, it was Brian Epstein”:

Rabbi Leiken – “Brian Epstein’s family was a staple of Liverpool’s Jewish community, owning a prominent furniture shop and a music store called North End Music. Brian had his Bar Mitzvah at the Green Bank Drive Synagogue in Liverpool and was educated at the Beaconsfield Jewish school in Sussex. His Uncle Meier noted that “he was obviously well educated in Hebrew and Hebrew liturgy.”

Yet, the most profound statement by Rabbi Leiken, when he called Brian Epstein, the “Fifth Jewish Beatle” at the conclusion of the blog, we wonder what was his insight into the potential Jewish lives of all the Beatles?:

Rabbi Leiken – “The Beatles were never the same after Brian Epstein’s death. Some consider the event to have led to their eventual break-up. Brian Epstein’s Judaism was always an issue during the years in which he managed the Beatles. In the early sixties, Paul McCartney was warned by his father that being managed by a Jew was dangerous. John Lennon constantly brought up the Jewish factor in personal conversations. Brian even himself spoke about the challenges of feeling different in his autobiography A Cellarful of Noise. To compound his emotional fragility, Epstein’s ongoing interest in John Lennon seemed to always cause him pain.

Brian Epstein must be remembered as one of the great Rock and Roll heroes, who recognized the talent of four boys from Liverpool, cared for each as a parent would do and ensured their success in taking over the music charts. Brian Epstein, the fifth Jewish Beatle, died at the young age of 32 and is buried in the Liverpool Jewish Cemetery.”

The song “Imagine” clearly shows that over the last decade, the world has slowly begun to turn against the horrors of global war. The international sentiment has been moving against the imperial lust of globalists to harvest the natural resources of smaller and weaker nations for their own purpose. There is a larger and growing mood in the world for peace and pacifism.  Even the “Spring Revolutions” in the Middle East have a large sentiment of wanting peace away from dictators and tyrants ruling over them.  This will continue until the last tyrant and totalitarian dictator will be removed from Planet Earth by the Messiah of Israel. 

According to the intent of the prophets of Israel and Judah, the Nation of Israel will be the last nations to hold out against a utopian quest for planetary peace by being ruled by a one world government dictating an ecumenical global religion. 

As such, the Israeli Jews, who desire more than anyone else to live alone in peace and worship the G-d of Israel as he commanded to them at Sinai, will be forced to defend themselves in the rising tide of global anti-Semitism.  Israel alone will begin to look like the last warmongering nation on Planet Earth.  Such is the warping message of “Evil”. 

No country of the world has had their national policies micro-managed by the nations of the world as the Jewish people in Israel.  Yet, this is how the G-d of Israel desires, for when salvation does come at the end of the age, it will not come by the ingenuity of political leaders, with “Sampson Options” capable of destroying the whole earth.  When the day comes that the Jewish people along with their tribal brothers of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel call upon Hashem, the G-d of Legions, as Zechariah prophesied by his own name; “Hashem will Remember and Hashem will Bless Israel at the Appointed Hour”.

The prophecies are clear that the G-d of Israel will redeem the “Sparks” of the Hidden Jews of the Diaspora and the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel so that peace can restored to all the earth. This is not a conditional prophesy. Rather, it is a prophecy for both the Jews and the Lost Israelites, when we will be restored back into brotherhood; the Jews of the House of Judah and Lost Israelites of the House of Israel (Ezekiel 37).

This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Rahab, G-d’s Trump Card

 
Hebrews 11:29-34 - “…By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given friendly welcome to the spies.” 

Rahab in G-d’s HALL OF FAITH: 

Joshua tells the story of Rahab the prostitute, who hid G-d’s two men. By faith she and her family were saved, says Hebrews 11:31, as described in Yahshua (Joshua) 6 and the sign of salvation was the scarlet cord she tied to her window, symbol of the Blood of the future Messiah.

She became the grand-grand-mother of King David, ancestor of the King Messiah, as described in the genealogy of Yahshua ben Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph) in the Hebrew Sefer of Mattathias (Book of Matthews) 1:5. 

She was woven into history’s tapestry, Messiah’s ancestor “lost in love...”

Trapped in her ludicrous society of Pagan worshipers not of the Dove;

Poor of her kind, despised by clients, still her “heart was of royal lace.”

Joshua, son of Nun, sent spies to Jericho who lodged there with grace.

 

Nation’s destiny pivoted on her decision; dominating the tide of events…

News of spies in the city passed to the King and to her abode they went.

Rahab cleverly detoured the King’s men; guided by Love’s Spirit wind.

Her covenant, with G-d’s own, proved a royal blood line would descend.

 

Boldly she said: “I know that the L-rd will give this land to you Jews;

Thus spare me and my kin, as nothing for your good will I refuse...!”

In her dark times of trial, who’d think she’d bring forth Messiah’s seed.

Matthew, of NT, mentions her as ‘mother of Boaz,’ for destiny decreed.

 

This harlot disowned her culture, and gave G-d’s scarlet crimson sign;

As an icon of Salvation, seen at her house, denotes “a holy blood line.”

Victorious stories of the old Jericho, and armies and king defeated then.

What compares to her scenarios, as this prostitute was grafted royally in.

The Mystery of the Date Christopher Columbus set Sail to Find the Land of India

 
Departing from the Port of Palos in 1492. Oil painting by Evaristo Domínguez, in the town hall of Palos de la Frontera. 

Today the world remembers the discovery of America was discovered with the children’s rhyme, “Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue in Fourteen Hundred Ninety-Two”. We have learned in the Destination Yisra’el blog, “The Mystery of the Kabbalist Jew and Explorer of America, Christopher Columbus” that Christopher Columbus’ real birth name was Salvador Fernando Zarco, and his pen name or pseudo name was Cristobal Colon. Not only was the name of this man called Christopher Columbus a mystery, his religious identity an enigma, but even the date of his departure from Spain has been enshrouded in a great mystery. 

What was even more enigmatic was the historical connection between the date that Christopher Columbus set sail and the date that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella ordered that all Jews were expelled.  It was not the historians nor the American historical revisionists that identified the identity of these two dates but Columbus himself in his private letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.  This was documented in the Jewish Virtual Library article titled, “Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress: Columbus sets Sail” in which Columbus writes in his “Journal of the First Voyage” these words;

Christopher Columbus – “So after having expelled the Jews from your dominions, Your Highnesses, in the same month of January, ordered me to proceed with sufficient armament to the said region of India.” 

It is interesting that while the order to all the provinces of Spain that the Jewish people were to be expelled from the Nation of Spain was officially declared on March 31, 1492 by the signatures of the King and Queen along with the signature of Juan de Coloma, the secretary of the King and Queen, this expulsion decree was already known to Christopher Columbus in January of that same year. This expulsion was extensive, and complete in its totality. The Alhambra Decree ordered by King Ferdinand I in 1492, reads as follows; 

The Alhambra Decree – “Therefore, with the council and advice of the eminent men and cavaliers of our reign, and of other persons of knowledge and conscience of our Supreme Council, after much deliberation, it is agreed and resolved that all Jews and Jewesses be ordered to leave our kingdoms, and that they never be allowed to return.

And we further order in this edict that all Jews and Jewesses of whatever age that reside in our domain and territories that they leave with their sons and daughters. their servants and relatives, large and small, of whatever age, by the end of July of this year, and that they dare not return to our lands, not so much as to take a step on them not trespass upon them in any other manner whatsoever.

Any Jew who does not comply with this edict and is to be found in our kingdom and domains, or who returns to the kingdom in any manner, will incur punishment by death and confiscation of all their belongings. We further order that no person in our kingdom of whatever station or noble status hide or keep or defend any Jew or Jewess, either publicly or secretly, from the end of July onwards, in their homes or elsewhere in our reign, upon punishment of loss of their belongings, vassals, fortresses, and hereditary privileges.

So that the said Jews may dispose of their household and belongings in the given time period, for the present we provide our assurance of royal protection and security so that , until the end of the month of July, they may sell and exchange their belongings and furniture and other items, and to dispose of them freely as they wish; and that during said time, no one is to do them harm or injury or injustice to their persons or to their goods, which is contrary to justice, and which shall incur the punishment that befalls those who violate our royal security.

Thus we grant permission to the said Jews and Jewesses to take out their goods and belongings out of our reigns, either by sea or by land, with the condition that they not take out either gold or silver or minted money or any other items prohibited by the laws of the kingdom…” 

This was not a surprising order by the throne of Spain, for in the year 1480, Spain ordered all the Jews to leave and towns and cities and sequester themselves in separate regions away from the Spanish populations. They also ordered that the Spanish Inquisition be established in order to prosecute the Jews for doing “great harm to the Christian either with conversation or communications…to subvert our holy Catholic faith and trying to draw faithful Christian away from their beliefs.”  In real terms, the Jews were expelled for becoming missionaries to the Christians and converting the Christians to the Jewish faith. As documented in the Alhambra Decree:

The Alhambra Decree – “These Jews instruct these Christians in the ceremonies and observances of their Law, circumcising their children, and giving them books with which to pray, and declaring unto them the days of fasting, and meeting with them to teach them the histories of their Law, notifying them when to expect Passover and how to observe it, giving them the unleavened bread and ceremonially prepared meats, and instructing them in things from which they should abstain, both with regard to food items and other things requiring observances of their Law of Moses, making them understand that there is no other law or truth besides it. All of which then is clear that, on the basis of confessions from such Jews as well as those perverted by them, that it has resulted in great damage and detriment of our holy Catholic faith…

It is left for this Holy Mother Church to mend and reduce the matter to its previous state inasmuch as, because of our frailty of humanity, it could occur that we could succumb to the diabolical temptation that continually wars against us so easily if its principal cause were not removed, which would be to expel the said Jews from the kingdom. Because whenever a grave and detestable crime is committed by some members of a given group, it is reasonable that the group be dissolved or annihilated, the minors for the majors being punished one for the other; and that those who pervert the good and honest living on the cities and villages and who by their contagion could harm others, be expelled from the midst the people, still yet for other minor causes, that would be of harm to the Republic, and all the more so for the major of these crimes, dangerous and contagious as it is.”

 
The Map of the New World by the Cartographer, Juan de la Cosa 

The only Jews that were left in Spain were those who converted to Christianity with the provision that if they did not convert they would be killed. Even so over the centuries, the Sephardic Jews of Spain who remained continued to observe the Jewish laws secretly. Those Jews who clandestinely remained are known as “Marranos” or “Crypto-Jews” for secretly continuing to observe Jewish Torah laws.

Officially Columbus departed from Palas de la Frontera with three ships, financed by Italian investors, the Royal crown of Spain, and certain provinces of Spain, especially the Palas de la Frontera. The larger carrack was called the Santa María yet was nicknamed the Galician. The two smaller caravels, were called the Pinta (the Painted) and the Niña, after her owner’s name, Juan Niño of Moguer. 

The Santa María was also the property of Juan de la Cosa, a Spanish cartographer, who was the captain of the Santa María and went with Columbus on all four of Columbus’ four voyages. Juan later went on to become a Spanish conquistador and explorer of the Americas. 

Officially Columbus left Spain on Friday, August 3, 1492.  This was the day of infamy when the temples of Solomon and Herod were both destroyed by Kings Nebuchadnezzar, and the Roman Emperor Vespasian.  

The official expulsion of the Spanish Alhambra Decree singed into law on March 31, 1492 went into effect four months later. Before the sun set on the eve of the 1^st of August (31^st of August, it was reported that Columbus ordered all his men to be on board ship prepared to set sail.  Off the Mediterranean coastline of Spain, at Palas de la Frontera, Columbus on this repeat of the day of infamy, another pogrom, expulsion, holocaust, and potential genocide had now come again upon his people; Columbus and his Jewish crew fasted on this Jewish day of mourning.  

As the sun was settling over the Atlantic Ocean on the eve of the 9^th of Av, the 1^st day of August (evening of July 31, 1492), the four month deadline for the Jews in Spain to convert to Christianity, leave the country or face death had now arrived. Columbus, a secret Jew, probably not an Italian, though may have been born in Genoa, Italy was now officially identifying with his Jewish brethren.

Associated with Columbus, were also several Jews in history, who accompanied Columbus to the islands off the Americas and eventually to the continent of the Americas.  Luis de Torres, the expedition’s interpreter was born a Jew and converted to Christianity just before the expedition set sail.  Two other “New Christians”, Luis de Santangel and Gabriel Sanchez were part of the financing of the expedition.

Abraham Zacuto (c. 1452-1515) was a historian yet as an astronomer, he had already written a major astronomical treatise titled, “Ha-Hibur ha-Gadol” while in service under the patronage of the Bishop of Salmanca. He served under Kings John II and Manuel I of Portugal as the royal court astronomer, where he returned after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain to live in Portugal.

The navigational charts written by Zacuto, was used by the Portuguese explorer, Vasco de Gama as he successfully navigated around the Horn of Africa to India. Even so, five years later, the Portuguese monarchy, followed the lead of Spain and in 1497, forced the Portuguese Jews to exile or flee. Living in Tunis on the African coastline of Tunisia, Zacuto completed his historical treatise titled, “Sefer he-Yuhasin, called the Book of Genealogies where he wrote, “My astronomical charts circulate throughout all the Christian and Muslim land.”

 
Abraham Zacuto, Tabulae astronomicae, Leiria, 1496. Rare Book and Special Collections Division.

The Hebrew Astronomical Navigational Tables of Rabbi Abraham Zacuto used by Christopher Columbus on his Voyages to America. They were published by Abraham Orta, the last of the Jewish printers in Portugal, one year before the Jews were expelled from Portugal.

Though neither Zacuto nor Vecinho sailed with Columbus, Rabbi Zacuto's Hebrew Table of Navigation and charts provided the expert technical experience that assisted Columbus in his navigational challenges in across the Atlantic Ocean. As a Kabbalist Jew, Columbus were have probably read Hebrew, yet, Joseph Vecinho, the court physician to King John II of Portugal, and himself a student of Zacuto, did translate the astronomical texts of Zacuto from Portuguese to Spanish and gave them to Columbus.   

Known by his peers and historian scholars after himself, Columbus was known to be Intelligent and ambitious. It was believed that he did learn Latin, as well as being conversant in the Portuguese and Castilian Spanish languages. He read extensively about astronomy, geography, includign historical works such as the works of Ptolemy, Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly's Imago Mundi, the travels of Marco Polo and Sir John Mandeville, Pliny's Natural History, and Pope Pius II's Historia Rerum Ubique Gestarum.

As written by the American historian Edmund Morgan from Yale University; he wrote this about Columbus in an article for Smithsonian Magazine titled, "Columbus' Confusion about the New World":

Edmund Morgan – “Columbus was not a scholarly man. Yet he studied these books, made hundreds of marginal notations in them and came out with ideas about the world that were characteristically simple and strong and sometimes wrong, the kind of ideas that the self-educated person gains from independent reading and clings to in defiance of what anyone else tries to tell him.” 

What Morgan failed to comprehend was that Columbus did not think like a European or westerner.  He was Jewish and his mind was filled with Jewish biblical concepts and apocalyptic imagery. He was a student of the prophets, yet saw them from the mystical ideas of Judaism, which were literally “outside the box” of western concepts and ideology. When he sought an understanding of traveling to India by going west, he was clearly a student of the spherical concepts of the 4^th century BCE, Aristotle, whom Middle Age scholars were keenly aware and admired. Celestial astronomy was quickly becoming the norm of navigating the international oceans by mariners.

He accepted Alfraganus’s (Abū al-ʿAbbās Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Kathīr al-Farghānī ) calculations that the degrees if latitude, as a degree of longitude along the equator as about 56 ⅔ miles yet failed to comprehend that the circumference of the globe was calculated in Arabic meters (about 1,830 meters per longitude) rather than the Italian miles which were shorter (1,238 meters per longitude).  The difference to these calculations led Columbus to suspect that the circumference of Planet Earth was maximized at 25,255 kilometers rather than about 40,000 kms. (25,000 mi.)

The scholars of Columbus’ day believed in Ptolemy’s estimate that the Eurasian landmass spanned about 180 degrees of longitude, or over halfway around the world. On the other hand, Columbus, a student of Marinus of Tyre, incorrectly calculated the Eurasian landmass at 225 degrees. This left only 135 degrees of water between Europe/Africa to India.  There was also no comprehension that an entire continent lay in between.  In his readings of the travels of Marco Polo, Columbus calculated that the islands of Japan were farther to the east than Cathay (China) and closer to the equator.  Even then, he believed that there were also islands in between such as the mythical Antillia, considered to be only a ways beyond the Azores Islands.

The significance of these errors in these calculations, Christopher Columbus was anticipating of traveling about 2,300 statute miles between the Canary Islands and his destination to Japan. The reality was that the true mileage today known today is closer to 12,200 miles.  This was a distance that no maritime vessel could travel and carry enough food and water plus allowance for traveling through uncharted waters.

Even so, the cash-strapped Spaniards, now again in possession of their own country were now competing with Portugal and England in a desperate competitive race to conquer the trade routes to the Indies.  Columbus provided the Andalusian royal palace the promise of a competitive advantage, and in the final end opened up a new world market that soon brought gold flowing into Spain in such an abundance that they didn’t know what to do with it.  As travelers explore the regions of England today, they are amazed at the austere, cold, and plain cathedrals that exist on the British Isles. Those same travelers exploring the regions are amazed at the opulence of gold with exquisite ornamentation and detail carvings that exist in the Spanish cathedrals. For one time in history, since the days of Kings David and Solomon, gold was more abundant than silver, and the Spanish rulers failed to thank the Jewish descendant of the House of Judah, for providing them with this time of history.

As noted, Columbus’ failure to comprehend distances correctly that were computed by a different calculations than his peers, led to a difference by a sizable margin for the westward distances from Europe to Asia.  These were guided by three factors; a lower estimate of the size of the earth, a higher estimate of the size of the Eurasian continental landmass, and the idea that Japan and the other land islands lay farther to the east of China.

Columbus’ miscalculations made have served him well, for with the courage of a quicker journey, he ventured into the unknown that no other had dare to go before, almost straight west from the western coastline of Africa near the Canary Islands. As such he succeeded where others may have failed.

The Mystery of the Kabbalist Jew and Explorer of America, Christopher Columbus

 

Posthumous portrait of Christopher Columbus by Ridolfo Ghirlandaio. There are no known authentic portraits of Columbus 

One of the outstanding possessions of the American Library of Congress today is one of four original copies of the Columbus Codex which was signed between Christopher Columbus and the Spanish monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. Here in this Codex were the signatures of the two Spanish monarchs that took place in the beautiful Alcázar Palace at Córdoba, Spain just re-conquered by the Spanish monarchs in 1492 when the last Muslim stronghold on the Iberian Peninsula fell to the Christian Spanish rulers and the Muslim occupation of Spain since the 13^th century was now over.

This was not Christopher Columbus’ first royal rejection. First spurned by Queen Isabella on the advice of her Catholic court confessor, Columbus left the city of Córdoba, but was intercepted by the royal guard of King Ferdinand who later credited himself as "the principal cause why those islands were discovered."  According to the document, fifty percent of the financing for the voyage came from private Italian investors, who Columbus had already secured, and the other rest would come from the royal treasuries of Spain. The problem was that Spain was financially broke after the final Granada campaign that gave the entire Spanish Peninsula back into the Roman Christian Spanish control. 

Christopher Columbus would eventually take four separate voyages to America, yet in disputes with his contracts with the Spanish crown for not receiving all the provisions of his contracts including the appointment as the "Great Admiral of the Ocean", governor of any and all lands he discovered, and given one-tenth of all revenue from those lands. In preparation of his legal redress to reclaim the lost privileges with the Crown of Spain, he prepared a document called the “Book of Privileges”. 

Just prior to his fourth and final voyage to America, Christopher Columbus assembled in his home in Seville, Spain an assembly of several distinguished judges and notaries for an important legal meeting.  They were there to document authentic copies of the original documents with the Royal Crown of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain that were a part of his archival collection. These included thirty-six documents concerning the titles, revenues, powers, and privileges granted to himself and his descendants that became the official copies of the “Book of Privileges”.

Four of these copies of the “Book of Privileges” were known to exist in 1502. Three were written on vellum and one on paper. One of the three vellum copies is today archived in the “Top Treasures” of the Treasuries of the American Library of Congress. Together with the Book of Privileges is also a unique addition, a paper copy of the Papal Bull Dudum siquidem dated, September 26, 1493, which extended the Spanish claim to the New World to include all future Spanish explorations. 

 

Christopher Columbus’ “Book of Privileges” in the Special Archives of the United States Library of Congress 

These “Christopher Columbus Treasures” are today archived in the Library of Congress’ Rare Book and Special Collections Division. They include: 

1. Columbus’ Three Voyages written by Angelo Trevisan, "Storia de la Navegacion del Colon", [Trevisan codex] Venice: 1503, Rare Book & Special Collections Division, Bequest of Mrs. John Boyd Thacher, 1925 – This is the earliest written description of Columbus as recorded in Angelo Trevisan's record of the first three voyages of Columbus and Cabral's 1500 landing on the Brazilian coast.  The author, Trevisan, represented the Venetian financial interests in Spain in which he compiled his " Storia," that was transcribed almost verbatim from the notes and writings of the historian Peter Martyr.  
2. Map of the Island of Hispaniola taken from the History by Pietro Martire d' Anghiera, (Peter Martyr), "Martyris Angli mediolanensis opera, legatio babylonica, oceani decas, poemata, epigrammate", Seville:1511 –  This history attests that the Island of Hispaniola where the nations of Haiti and Dominican Republic are located became the first site of permanent European colonization in America until the years of 1505-1511 when the islands of Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Cuba were occupied and colonized.  In the year 1525, Peter Martyr, a Milanese humanist associated with the court of the Spanish crown reported to his Venetian friend, Gaspare Contarini that the “islands of Hispaniola, Cuba, and Jamaica were inhabited by over a million natives at the time of the arrival of Columbus’ voyages, but by 1525 most of the islanders had died by disease, infanticide, despair, and cruel treatment, till almost none were left.

It was first printed in Barcelona, Spain on April 1493 and a month later in Latin by Stephan Plannck in Rome, and then news of the discover to the rest of Europe. 
5. “The Life of Columbus” written by Columbus’ son, Fernando Colombo, titled, “Historie del signor D. Fernando Colombo. . . “ Venice: 1571, Rare Book & Special Collections Division (6.3) at the Bequest of Mrs. John Boyd Thacher, 1925. 

As history will attest, of all the hundred of historical accounts on Christopher Columbus, there are not any to date that give common agreement to the place of birth of Christophe Columbus, his native language, his religious affiliation, a description of his likeness or the place in which his physical remains rest. Here is where our quest begins. Not only that, there are not any historical accounts in which Columbus is known as “Christopher” or “Columbus”.  Instead he was called; Comom, Colonus, Colomo, Colon Colón, Guiarra and Guerra.

According to official history, Christopher Columbus was born somewhere between August 25, and October 31, 1451 in Genoa, Italy. His father, Domenico was a middle-class wool weaver, married to Susanna Fontanarossa and three brothers, Bartolomeo, Giovanni Pellegrino and Giacomo.  Bartolomeo was later employed in a map-making cartographic shop in Lisbon, Portugal.

As early as the age of ten, Columbus was sailing “the ocean blue”. By the age of 19 years, he was a mercenary on the Genoese ship hired in the service of René I of Anjou in his military campaign to conquer the Kingdom of Naples. Later he became an apprentice business agent by the famous Italian consortium of the Centurione, Di Negro and Spinola families of Genoa, where he was hired to accompany an armed convoy carrying valuable cargo to England (Bristol), Ireland (Galway) and Iceland in 1477. 

 

Columbus's notes in Latin, on the margins of his copy of The Travels of Marco Polo 

Two years later, Christopher was still trading for the Centurione family but was also spending more and more time with his brother in the Portuguese cartographic shop. This same year, he fell in love and married Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, the daughter of the Portuguese nobleman of Genoese origins, Bartolomeu Perestrello, who was the Governor of the Portuguese Island of Porto Santo near the Island of Madeira. About the year of 1480, his son, Diego Columbus was born. 

This official history was challenged in the Israel National News article on October 8, 2008 written by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu, titled, “Kabbalistic Signet Ring indicates Columbus was an Exiled Jew”. It attests to a different history of Christopher Columbus and has been documented Columbus’ secret identity in the Kabblaistic monogram written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.

Here we begin the exploration that Columbus had an identity that was a secret to the royalty of Spain and was attested by his signet ring which Columbus used to seal all of his agreements with the Royal Crown of Spain, King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I.  This ring also contained his two secret names; his “pen name” or pseudonym that was adopted by Columbus and his birth name. According to Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu;

 
 

Kabbalistic Signet Shows Columbus was a Jew 

Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu – “Columbus was a Jew named Salvador Fernando Zarco and was among those expelled from Spain in 1492, a rare triangular Kabbalistic signet indicates. Jose Rodrigues Dos Santos has authored an historical novel, “Codex 632: The Secret Identity of Christopher Columbus”, which relates the deciphering of a rare triangular Kabbalistic signet.  The interpretation of the recent discovery of the signet claims to reveal the secret identity of Columbus. The unique triangular monogram is similar to inscriptions on the gravestones in Jewish cemeteries in Spain and southern France.

The interpretation of the recent discovery of the signet claims to reveal the secret identity of Columbus.  It was used in the agreement between Columbus and Spanish King and Queen Ferdinand and Isabella. The Kabbalistic monogram, in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, contains two secret names: Cristobal Colon, his "nom de plume," and Salvador Fernando Zarco, Columbus's birth name, according to the author.” 

Cristobal Colon, as he was known, had already tried to seek royal support for his journeys to find the land of India be going west rather than east. He traveled back to Genoa and over to Venice, but found no financial backers from the merchants or royalty households there.  His brother went to the court of King Henry VII of England. The king seriously considered his offer, but by the time Columbus received England’s affirmative answer, he had received the commitment of thenew royal household of Spain, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile.

Then something strange happened on the date in which Columbus prepared to set sail westward to find the mystical land of India in the Far East.

The Common Dilemma of Palestinian Jews and European-American Israelites

Arabs of Jewish Descent in Israel
Conductor Daniel Barenboim (R) directs The West-Eastern Divan youth orchestra during a rehearsal in the Royal Albert Hall ahead of their performance in the BBC Proms tonight on August 21, 2009 in London, England. The orchestra was founded by Daniel Barenboim, an Argentine of Jewish descent and the late Palestinian-born Edward Said in 1999 and is based in Sevilla, Spain. The project involves young musicians from a variety of countries in the Middle East including Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. Although not described as a political project the orchestra serves as an example of Barenboim and Said's vision of understanding and collaboration between Israelis and Palestinians.

Ezekiel 36:22 – “O House of Israel…I will take your from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land…I will cleanse you from all your filthiness…I will give you a new heart…I will put My Spirit within you…then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers…the land that I gave to your fathers…you shall be My people, and I will be your God”

BibleSearcher Commentary – The prophetic picture of the Prophets of Israel and Judah suggest that in “In that Day” that the descendants of the House of Israel and the House of Judah will someday return and live in the land of the inheritance of their forefathers.  It does not state the purity of the genetics or whether the descent come from the mother, like current Jewish descent that “to be a Jew, your mother must be a Jew”, or the Princes of David, “to be a royal prince or princes, your father must be a prince”. Even the genetic “seed” of the Jewish families of the Exilarchs of Babylon, as well as the families of the famous Jewish sages of Israel were scattered in the nations of the earth.

The biblical prophetic picture does depict that the process of assimilation of Jewish and also Israeli (House of Israel) bloodlines, will be determined by genetics as though there is a “calling card gene” embedded in the genetics that will awaken one with this new awareness, “I am of the House of Judah”, “I am of the House of Ephraim”, or “I am of the House of Napthali”. The G-d of Israel will reach wide and reach deep into our genetic background and resurrect our lost heritage. The Day of the Lord will come when brothers of the same family will unite and say, “We are a family united under HaShem, the G-d of Israel, and we will seek to preserve and not destroy our family so together, we can worship One G-d.” 

Israel National News – “Up to 85 percent of Arabs in greater Israel stem from Jewish ancestors, it is estimated. Some of them want to become fully Jewish, but most are scared to even talk about it.

 

"In our search for the lost Ten Tribes in India and Afghanistan, we seem to have forgotten to look for their descendants in our very own backyard." So says the narrator in a new film about the efforts of a former hi-tech pioneer named Tzvi MiSinai to search out the Jewish roots of Israel's Arab enemies – and to inform them of their Judaic heritage.

 

MiSinai has spent about a half-million shekels, he estimates, on these efforts. They include visiting dangerous places deep inside Palestinian Authority-controlled territory, hearing the stories of Arabs who remember observing Jewish customs, and distributing literature to Jews and Arabs alike.

 

One Arab says his father told him the secret of his family's Jewishness on his deathbed, while another one, on the backdrop of a photo of the saintly Cabalistic sage Rabbi Abuchatzeira on his wall, says their roots have been known in his family for generations. Wrapping what apparently used to be kosher tefillin on his arm, he says, "My father used to do this, and he taught us to do it whenever someone was sick or in trouble."

The Jews Who Didn't Leave

 

It is generally accepted that most Jews left the Land of Israel after the failed Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE. Yet many remained, and of these, many are still here, after having been forced to convert to Islam. "It turns out that a large part of the Arabs of the Land of Israel are actually descendants of forced converts to Islam over the years," says Rabbi Dov Stein of the nascent Sanhedrin rabbinical council. "There are some studies that say that 85 percent of the Arabs in Israel are descended from Jews; others say there are fewer."

 

Ben-Gurion Agrees

 

The claims are not new. Early Zionist leaders David Ben-Gurion and Yitzchak Ben-Tzvi wrote in a book 100 years ago: "If we investigate the origins of the Felahim, there is no doubt that much Jewish blood runs in their veins." The authors implied that these Jews loved the Land so much that they were willing to give up their religion. The reference is probably to an edict in the year 1012 by Caliph el-Hakim, who ordered the non-Muslims to either convert or leave the Land of Israel. It is estimated that 90 percent of the Jews chose the former, though many continued to practice Judaism in secret. The decree was revoked 32 years later - apparently too late for about 75 percent of the converts.

 

Tzvi MiSinai continues to convince Arabs in Judea and Samaria that they are likely Jewish. The film shows him passing through the Gush Etzion checkpoint and distributing pamphlets both to Israeli soldiers – "so that you'll know who you're checking here" – and to the Arabs waiting there – "so that you'll know who the majority of you are." Asked by an Arab if he is from the peace movement, MiSinai answers, "Yes, yes, peace, so that we can live together as one nation."

The Sawarka Bedouin Jews

 

One place where MiSinai has apparently found very strong Jewish roots is in the Bedouin tribe known as the Sawarka. There are about 3-4,000 of them throughout the Sinai and the Negev, and they "are all Jewish," says a tribal leader in perfect Hebrew. With his face camouflaged for the cameras, the Bedouin says, "They had no choice but to convert; this was centuries ago… I remember my mother and grandmother wouldn't light fire on Sabbath, and they had a special mikveh…"

 

Others, in a Bedouin village east of Hebron, also remember burning a small piece of dough (reminiscent of the Biblical command to separate a small piece of dough when baking bread), lighting candles at graves, and tearing clothes and sitting shiva for seven days, and not three as is Muslim practice.

 

Even today, ritual circumcisions are carried out after the seventh day of birth. Many homes in some of the Arab villages have doorpost indentations for a Mezuzah, with a scroll placed in some of them.

 

In another village just south of Hevron, Muhammed Amsalem – a descendant of Spanish Jews - told Aharon Granot of Mishpacha magazine that everyone in town knows he and his clan are Jews: "Our elders tell us that our forefathers came to this land during the [15th century] Spanish Inquisition, via Morocco. They settled in Ramle. Then the Mamluks forced them to convert to Islam, and they moved to the South Hevron area."

 

Amsalem says they decided to reveal their Jewish roots after the 1967 Six Day War when they learned that a Jewish community had been reestablished in Hevron. "But the Jews saw we had no knowledge of their religious practices and refused to accept us… If the Jewish community would be willing to receive us today, we would join them with great enthusiasm."

 

In the area of the South Hevron Hills, half of the Arabs are aware of the Jewish origins. They used to talk about it openly, though no longer. One man who recently publicized a silver Chanukah menorah that had been passed down to him from his father and previous generations was hung by terrorists by his feet for six weeks, leaving him with permanent injuries.

Genetic Studies Back Claims

 

At the Hadassah Medical School labs, Prof. Ariela Oppenheim of Hebrew University performed an international genetic study that backs up conclusions of Jewish-Arab genetic similarities. "We found that despite the dispersion of Jews around the world for 2,000 years, they essentially kept their Jewish continuity," Oppenheim said. "In addition, we found that the Jewish population is surprisingly close, genetically, to the Arabs living here in Israel."

 

She said that the study shows that both the Arabs of Israel and the Jews are descended from the Kurds of Aram in Babylon – the birthplace of the Patriarch Abraham.

 

"It's clear that we're all from the same family," Oppenheim concludes. "Most unfortunately, however, there are conflicts even within families, and sometimes brothers fight as well. I wish this is what will bring the Redemption, but I'm very sad to say that I don't think so."

Some Want to Return to Observant Judaism

 

South of Hevron, in Yatta, there is a large formerly-Jewish presence – and some even want to return to active Judaism. It is widely known there that half the residents are of the originally-Jewish Mahamra clan – a name that means "winemaker," a trade that is forbidden according to Islam. "The people in these areas converted to Islam later in history," MiSinai says, "and therefore more customs and knowledge and artifacts have been preserved." These include Jewish stars over the entrances to homes, while in at least one house, the family has hidden a mezuzah and tefillin in creative hiding spots. One man pulled out a small Hebrew booklet of Psalms and Tanya with which he says he continues to secretly pray.

 

Miro Cohen, a Jew from Tekoa, in eastern Gush Etzion, is very friendly with the Arabs in a nearby village known as Kawazbe – a name that he and they agree is merely a corruption of Kuzeiba, the original name of the famous Bar Kokhba.

 

"These people are the descendants of Bar Kokhba," Cohen declares. One Arab sitting with him can count his ancestors eight generations back, ending with a grandfather named Kawazbeh. Another village elder says openly that his grandfather was a Jew who converted to Islam. Some of the residents want to return to Judaism; they don't call it converting, because they are "already Jewish." On the other hand, Arabs with the name Kawazbeh have been arrested for terrorist activity against Israel.

 

Other areas where Arabs of Jewish descent reside are Kfar Anzah in Samaria, Samoa in southern Judea, villages in the Tel Arad area, and more. Rabbi Stein says, "We know that up to about 200 years ago, the Galilee village of Sakhnin was a Jewish town, with an active synagogue. The Turks pressured them to convert to Islam, but the people there know that they are of Jewish origins."
