Destination Yisra'el: History of the Jews

The story of the Five Guardians in the Emeq HaMelekh, protecting the Treasures of Solomon’s Temple, brings us to the city of Babylon where Shimur Ha Levi, Haggai the Prophet, Zechariah the Prophet son of Iddo, Zedekiah, Hezekiah plus Ezra and Baruch the scribes record their hiding locations on parchment, copper, and two giant white marble tablets.

Living in the most glorious city of the then known world, they become acquainted with former residents of the Nation of Israel, which were fast becoming part of the Lost Tribes of Israel, known in part later as the Cimmerians and the Saki.

On the Behistun Inscription north of Babylon the Saki were later described. When they first approached the city of Babylon, they walked through the Ishtar Gate, passed by the Palaces of the king, the walls of Babylon up to 300 feet tall, and the Temple of Etemenanki thought to be built over the ruins of the Tower of Babel. Nearby was the Hanging Gardens, a mountain of vegetation built with only bricks and bitumen, creating lakes, rivers and a jungle like forest.

Daniel and his three government assistants, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were living in the palace of King Nebuchadnezzar II, when the king sought the extermination of all the Magi and Chaldeans unless they could tell him about his dream. Daniel in a vision was shown the dream and the interpretation of a large image made with gold, silver, brass, iron and clay and eventually destroyed by a large Stone made without hands.

The image in the dream evolved into a large Statue or Colossi of Nebuchadnezzar of solid gold erected for a Grand Celebration, during which the lives of the three friends of Daniel were threatened when they were thrown into a fiery furnace.

This was getting serious. Wipe out the whole echelon of royal advisors was within the power of Nebuchadnezzar and his edict was indicative of his disturbed human mind. This edict was not just to those sitting in the court of the king at that time but to all the Magi in the whole land of Babylon.

Daniel was not in the king’s court at the time of this confrontation. He was presented with the edict of the king by Arioch, the king’s captain of the royal guard. With great diplomacy and almost assuredly a palpitating heart, he asked Arioch, the king’s captain to request of the king a short time to summon the G-d of his fathers for a special revelation. What courage! What faith!

Daniel was not skilled in oracular revelations. But he had faith that the Lord of host, the G-d of his forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would honor this request. With his friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, they entered into a special prayer season with their One G-d of the Universes.

In a dream, while asleep, Daniel was revealed not only the dream of the king, but the meaning. The Lord of hosts was speaking with Daniel as a conduit for the revelations of the Most-High G-d. What was most important to Daniel and the Guardians was the location of the vessels that belonged to the House of the Lord, which were placed in the Temple of Esagila.

Dedicated to Jupiter the god of Babylon who was called Marduk, a large golden statue stood in the temple almost identical to the statue of Nebuchadnezzar erected on the Plain of Dura.

In reality, Babylon had three Wonders of the Ancient World, the Hanging Gardens, the Tower of Babel recreated, and a Colossi Statue which competed with the Colossi Memnon and the Colossus at Rhodes.

Mishnah 3

These are the Vessels that were taken by (buried in) the ground: the locking rods, the pegs, the boards, the rings, the standing pillars of the courtyard. These are the Vessels: 1,200,000 (1200*) silver Mizrakot (sacrificial basins); 50,000 (50*) Mizrakot of fine gold; 600,000 (600*) (?) of fine gold, and 1,200,000 (1200*) of silver. These five [men] inscribed these Mishnayot in Babylon together with the other prophets that were with them, including Ezra the Cohen, the Scribe.

*Numbers may be off by a factor of 10³ due to translation so 100,000 may actually be 100.

See commentary on Numbers in the Mishnayots

Hanging Gardens of Babylon

Here is the inventory of these treasures. The place of hiding is unknown, yet the inscription of this hoard was first recorded in these Mishnayots in the great City of Babylon:

The locking rods, the pegs, the boards, the rings, the standing pillars of the courtyard.

1,200,000 (1,200) silver Mizrakot (sacrificial basin)

50,000 (50) Mizrakot (sacrificial basins) of fine gold.

600,000 (600) (unclear word - talents?) of fine gold

1,200,000 (1,200) (talents?) of silver.

The curtained outer court of the Wilderness Sanctuary (Mishkhan) was assembled as a portable barrier to define the purified and holy area upon which the Sanctuary of the Lord was to be erected. Here were the standing pillars of the courtyard, including the pegs, boards, rings and the locking rods.

Where the location of this hiding area is, was not revealed. Yet in this same location was a hoard of gold and silver bullion possibly defined in term of weight of a talent of approximately 75 pounds. Included at this hiding place also were the sacrificial basins used in the temple sacrifices. In this modern era, the value and thereby the scarcity of these two precious metals was about 10:1.

From every documentation in the Egyptian empire, silver was more valuable in relationship to gold. Yet in all the Mishnayots, King Solomon must have had mining access to silver that was unknown to the Pharaoh’s of Egypt as all the articles or vessels created for the temple of the Lord showed at least a 2:1 ratio of silver to gold.

As we shall later see, the walls of Babylon will be recipient site of a hoard of treasures brought by the Jewish captives to Babylon and secreted there for safekeeping until the Time of the End. There is no indication that this hoard of treasures was placed in the modern kingdom of Iraq, whereas the recording of these treasures was completed in Babylon.

The Recording of the Mishnayots in Babylon

The Mishnayots we are reading, were not written by the Rabbabim in the 2^nd and 3^rd centuries when the Mishna was composed but as recorded they have a far more ancient heritage. According to the 2^nd Maccabean account, assuming that the mishnayots of Emeq HaMeleck are the true “records”, were written prior to the first Chanukah celebration about 165 BCE.

This festival, called the Festival of Lights, was instituted by the Maccabean rulers celebrating the restoration and purification of the Temple of Zerubbabel after it had been desecrated by Antiochus Epiphanes IV when he sacrificed a pig on the altar in the Holy Place. According to these Mishnayots, they were written and recorded between 586 BCE and 520 BCE, according to conventional historical Gregorian calendar years. Yet in the Jewish calendar, the White Marble Tablets were written in the year from Adam 3331.

The Restoration of the Ishtar Gate in Babylon by Saddam Hussein

This would correlate to the conventional year of 428/429 BCE. Yet, according to the rabbinic calendar, the Seder Olam Rabbah, the first deportation of Jewish young men, scholars and business men was in 421 BCE, seven to eight years later.

When these five Jewish Tzaddiks (righteous ones), wrote these mishnayots, they were living in Babylon, who with Ezra the Cohen (priest) were still in captivity in Babylon. We do not know if all of these men were taken as captives along with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were taken in the first deportation of 605 BCE (421 BCE in the Seder Olam Rabah, the rabbinic calendar. Who were the other prophets that were with them? To date we have no other revelation on these persons.

The Empire of Neo-Babylon

The Behistun Inscription – the Persian Rosetta Stone

The country in which Daniel and his friends were taken as captives, was land renowned for its antiquity, but in reality, they were really a new country and a new city. It was a marvelous city, undergoing massive reconstruction, with beautiful temples and splendid palaces and a city that visitors marveled at the curious gardens.

Evoking the ancient wonders of the Sumerians, the Chaldeans living in the parched and arid land along the Euphrates valley had been recently conquered by the Assyrians and the city of Babylon was leveled to the ground. Soon they were to become the rivals to the Assyrians for power in the Mesopotamian valley.

Besides, they had an axe to score with their brutal Assyrian masters. With the weakening of the Assyrians who were menaced by the Scythians, the Semitic cousins to the Lost Israelites, the Medes, who were soon to ascend and form the Persian empire, and the Cimmerians, who many historians feel were the resettled tribes of the Nation of Israel in the Armenian highlands; Babylon soon took advantage of her weakened nemesis.

It is fascinating to note as ancient history is now being revisited that the Children of Omri, the father to King Ahab, who were called the Ghomerians, the Greek Kimmerioi later the Khumerians, would as some linguists suggest, would later be known as the Cimmerians.

In the ancient Sumerian language, which the Chaldeans and the Assyrians were descendants, biblical suffix i when applied to a person means “a native of”. Therefore; Gileadi meant a native of Gilead. When this is applied to the in habitants of the Nation of Israel, we call them Israeli.

Whereas the inhabitants of the ancient Nation of Israel (House of Israel) were known by some of their most famous kings, such as King Omri, father of Ahab, they were also known by their ancestors, such as Isaac. As the ancient prophecy said, “In Isaac shall thy seed be called (or named).” (Gen 21:12, Romans 9:7) As the “sons of Isaac” over the centuries they were called the Saki, Sacae, Sacchi, Sakasani, Beth Sak, Saxones, Sachsen, and Saxons.

The Behistun Inscription in the Center of the Mountain Cliff

The most famous ancient inscription is the Behistun Rock on a cliff along the road between Hamadan in Iran and Baghdad in Iraq, near the town of Bagastana; near the homeland of Daniel or the ‘place where the gods dwell’. On this cliff, Darius the Great was recording his victories, an inscription not understood until Sir Henry Rawlinson deciphered it in 1840.

On this massive inscription about 100 feet high and 150 feet wide, there were several references to the former inhabitants of Israel. Twenty-eight times the word Kana, depicted the land of Canaan was written, including a man called “Sarocus the Sacan’ wearing a Hebrew hat.

Under the list of nations is “Saka” which in the Persian and Elamite language means the same as Gimri or Ghomri in the Babylonian language. Yes, even the dispossessed tribes from the Land of Israel would wreak havoc upon the nation that caused their exile.

The Palace Walls of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon

It was the Chaldean king Nabopolasser (626-605 BCE), who started a rebellion against Assyria in 626 BCE and by 612; he conquered the capital of Assyria in Nineveh and crushed the empire of the last king of Assyria.

On the banks of the Euphrates River, on July 25, 616 BCE, Nabopolasser defeated the forces of the king of Assyria just south of Harran. Situated on the trade route from the Mediterranean to the heart of Assyria, this ancient city of Harran was built by Abram and Terah when they fled from Nimrod. This city was named after the brother of Abram; Harran and at this town, Terah, an oracular Sumerian priest, built a temple to the Sumerian moon god Sin.

The Babylonians, combining their forces with the Median ruler Cyaxares began to attack the Empire to Assyria, first at Aššur in 614 and two years later, Nineveh was destroyed. With the loss of their two capitals, it would seem that the time of the Assyrians was over. Yet a new renegade Assyrian king, Aššur-uballit, made his new capital and kingdom at Harran in rebellion to Nabopolassar and newly arisen Babylonian empire.

As recorded in the Fall of Nineveh Chronicle, Nabopolassar 'marched to Assyria victoriously' in the fifteenth year of his reign (612 BCE) and Aššur-uballit’s forces fled the city of Harran in exile. A treaty between Assyria and Egypt was invoked and Pharaoh Necho of Egypt (610-595) sent a large military force to the north to assist the Assyrian prince in his claim to the crumbling Assyrian empire.

The Palace Walls of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon

It was in route to Harran that the beloved Judean king Josiah met Pharaoh Necho seeking to halt this advance. We ask the question, why? In the next chapter, we will see the link between the Saki, the deported Israelites sent to the heart of the Assyrian empire by Ashurbanipal and the tribe of the Mandi, whose newly risen leader Cyaxares of the Medes who was now in league with the Babylonian ruler Nabopolasser. Was King Josiah seeking to align himself with Cyaxares against Pharaoh Necho?

It was in 605 BCE, Nabopolasser’s son, Nebuchadnezzar II, (Nabu-Kudurri-usur, 'O Nabu, protect the son'), the reigning crown prince, and commander of the Imperial forces and co-regent to the throne, was conducting his first Syrian campaign.

With the overthrow of the Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar also rounded up the Egyptian allies, and thereby the Kingdom of Judah and Jerusalem were captured in 605 BCE, the 4^th year of Jehoiakim, king of Judah. To the Babylonians, this was actually Jehoiakim’s 3^rd year, for they did not count the first partial year of rule as the first year on the throne, like the Hebrew chroniclers, who counted the regnal years of their kings.

Nebuchadnezzar II was in Judah, preparing Daniel and the hosts of royal sons and noble friends to be taken back to Babylon, when news came of his father, Nabopolaser’s death. Taking the swift route directly across the desert by camel and steed, he raced back to Babylon to secure his throne. Nebuchadnezzar was actually marching against Egypt, a nation who was also trying to reassert her ancient legacy to power.

Taking the swift route directly across the desert by camel and steed, he raced back to Babylon to secure his throne. Nebuchadnezzar was actually marching against Egypt, a nation who was also trying to reassert her ancient legacy to power.

The Immense Imperial City of Babylon

Following slowly behind with Nebuchadnezzar’s main forces, we find Daniel and the three worthies plus thousands of the best students and warriors of the Nation of Judah accompanying the first captured vessels of the temple of Solomon making their way as captives across the Fertile Crescent. They were destined to become a part of the greatest commercial enterprise in the ancient world. As they approached the city of Babylon, they were greeted with the immense walls of a city that dwarfed the size of Jerusalem. The Ishtar Gate had not been built and the palace of the king’s father was still the palatial residence of Nebuchadnezzar II.

To understand the world of Daniel, the three worthies and the Jewish deportees to this land, one must know the empire built by King Nebuchadnezzar, under the religio-political realm which he governed. This was the land that demanded grandiose dreams to maintain one’s accession to the throne. The fertile mind of Nebuchadnezzar, was the source of oracular visions, evoking a great image which the G-d of Abraham used as the prophetic model to show a Hebrew seer and Chaldean in the court of Nebuchadnezzar the future empires that would soon arrive. These visions in this emperor’s mind would also show the prophetic history of the Jewish people until the Time of the End.

The Destruction of Jerusalem and the Booty taken from the Temple of Solomon to Babylon

The Exile of Judah to Babylon, the City of Wonders

Booty taken from the Temple of Solomon to Babylon

According to the diary of Daniel, his last days in Jerusalem were recorded as such:

Daniel 1:2 - “And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.”

This obviously does not record the emotions and insecurities of the young prince, who was a royal descendant of King Hezekiah. Recording this event in later years as a wise and aged court counselor, former prime minister of Babylon, the most noteworthy record was not the emotional trauma upon the psychic of the country and the devastation of losing the brightest youth in the land; but what was the destination of the sacred relics that belonged within the House of their G-d, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Even the royal court scribes in Jerusalem recording these events, after eulogizing one of the greatest of the Judean kings, Josiah, declined to make any record of the reign of Josiah’s son, Jehoiakim, because “he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. (I Kings 23:37)

To the Hebrew scribes, the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar was not just a coincidence; for they stated; “The Lord sent against him (Jehoiakim) bands of Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by his servants the prophets”

The Babylonian Empire of Nebuchadnezzar II

The armies of Nebuchadnezzar were a mixed army, bolstered by the Syrians, Amorites and Moabites living to the east of Jerusalem and rivals to the power of Judah. But why? The dissention with the city of Jerusalem was because many in the royal courts were not seeking independence with the G-d of Abraham as their leader. Rather they were content to settle with what they felt was the lesser of two evils, domination by Egypt rather than domination by Babylon. The same geo-politics is seen to today in the Nation of Israel.

Yet the capture of Jerusalem was not because Jehoiakim was an independent thinker. He was not a rebel or a political chameleon that did not have the political skills to effectively pit the sympathizers of the Egyptians against those that advised allegiance with the Babylonians. No, it was rather because of Jehoiakim’s grandfather, Manasseh:

I Kings 24:3-4 - “Surely, at the commandment of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove them out of the His sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did; and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the Lord would not pardon.”

The son of Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin was no better, for he also did evil in the sight of the Lord and the story was repeated. In 597 BCE, Jehoiachin, instead of flagrant rebellion, he went out to meet Nebuchadnezzar and he and his family were taken prisoners.

This time almost all the gold remaining in the Temple of the Lord plus all the treasures that were left in the House of God had been taken back to Babylon.

2 Kings 24: 8,13 - “Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house, and he cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had said.”

For a second time, the Lord gave the people of Jerusalem reprieve. Twenty years after his first campaign against the Judeans, this time in the reign of King Zedekiah, Nebuchadnezzar returned with his armies the third time.

2 Kings 25:8-10 - “And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. He burned the house of the Lord and the king’s house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is all the houses of the great, he burned with fire. And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around.”

The city was ransacked. The Temple, already stripped of its remaining treasures and most of its precious metal vessels and utensils in past campaigns, only had remaining the bronze vessels that were still being used in the service of the Temple.

2 Kings 25:13-17 - "The bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the carts and the bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried their bronze to Babylon. They also took away the pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the spoons and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered. The fire pans and the basins, the things of solid gold and solid silver, the captain of the guard took away.

The two pillars, one Sea, and the carts, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord, the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure. The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital on it was of bronze. The height of the capital was three cubits, and the network and pomegranates all around the capital were all of bronze. The second pillar was the same, with a network. (See also 2 Chron. 35:7, 36:18-19)

This invasion into Judah in the year of King Jehoiachin, has been archeologically preserved in a clay tablet called the “Babylonian Chronicle”. Here is a summary from the archives of King Nebuchadnezzar recorded in the eighth year of his reign:

Babylonian Chronicle – “…Encamped against the city of Judah and on the second day of the month of Addaru, he seized the city and captured the king. He appointed there a king of his heart, received its heavy tribute and sent (it) to Babylon.”

This same account was recorded by the royal chroniclers of Judah:

II Kings 24:12-13, 15, and 17 – “…the king of Babylon, in the eighth year of his reign, took him (Jehoiachim) prisoner.

And he carried out from there all the treasure of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house…and he carried Jehoiachin captive to Babylon…then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his palace, and changed his name to Zedekiah.”

The Babylonian Chronicle

Jeremiah, the prophet, a lone voice who urged the king, his grandson, to submit to the submission of the yoke of Babylon, now watched the final scenes of Jerusalem’s demise. He already was viewed as a Babylonian sympathizer and a traitor to Judah. As such he was thrown into a dungeon awaiting his own death. Saved by a Babylonian, he lived to record his own account of the last hours before Jerusalem’s destruction.

Jeremiah 27:19 - “For thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, concerning the Sea, concerning the carts, and concerning the remainder of the vessels that remain in this city, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah (Jehoiachin) the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.

The Palace of Nebuchadnezzar II

Yes, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem: “They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I visit them, says the Lord, “Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’”

Here we see a prophecy. The vessels were to be a sign and an indicator at a future date as to when the Lord of hosts would again revisit His people. Note carefully, the Lord of hosts states with great care that the vessels in the House of the Lord did not follow the Jewish people into captivity but rather the Jewish people followed the vessels to the land of their captors.

So also, the Lord of hosts promised that He would restore those same vessels back to His home in Jerusalem and the people would follow the vessels back. That is if they chose to return.

Carefully consider this at the Time of the End. The Lord of hosts has already given in the prophets, who the vessels the Lord of hosts will be using as His mark of divine involvement during the closing days of this earth’s era.

The vessels will become living vessels. Israel and Judah have been spoken many times as a “Pot” or “Vessel” in which the Lord of hosts as the Potter is molding and shaping for His use before the Great Day of the Lord.

When we see the beginning of the restoration of the House of Judah and then the House of Israel back to the Land of Israel; the Gentile believers in Yehoshua the Prince of David will have a great sign that the Lord of hosts is about to intervene His will into the history of man.

The Princes of Judah

Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were taken as the Judean elite, the ones (Daniels 1:4) “in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.”

Of royal blood and noble birth, they were to be trained for government service and for the last nineteen years before the destruction of the Temple of Solomon, these four princes were studying geopolitics, international relations, political science in the halls of the greatest empire on earth.

Their names, Daniel, Hanani-yah, Mishael, and Azari-yah invoking honor to their God, ‘El’ and ‘Yah’, were changed to Belteshazzar, Shadrack, Meshach and Abed-Nego in honor of Bel, the god Marduk, Aku, the moon god, and Nego or Nabu, the crown prince son of Marduk. As Isaiah stated, (Isaiah 46:1) “Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle.”

Yet according to the story as told by Daniel, (Daniel 1:8) “He (Daniel) purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank.”

They would serve in whatever capacity the Lord of hosts would choose to give them to serve, but they would still serve their G-d. There they watched as the armies would head to Syria and then they would witness their return with Jewish captives.

These captives returning also through the Ishtar Gate of Babylon would include the young teenage king Jehoiachin with his family (2 Kings 24:10-16) and several years later King Zedekiah, blinded after all his sons, the royal heirs, were slaughtered in his presence. (2 Kings 25:7)

The god Marduk and his Dragon-Snake

Daniel and his three friends lived in the palace of the king. This was where all the royal business and governmental official duties were performed. The atmosphere within the palaces was awe inspiring and it took great spiritual fortitude to be loyal civil servants to a foreign king, and at the same time know exactly where their spiritual roots were; to the G-d of Abram their forefather.

As royal officials, they dutifully and quietly did their official duties. As the elite of the scholars in the Royal Academies, they soon became members of the elite guild called the Chaldeans, who served as royal advisors and were instructed in the mysteries of the astronomical and earthly sciences in the temple schools of higher learning and the ziggurat observatories in the land of Babylon.

According to Daniel, he watched as a silent observer, a civil servant, serving inside the government offices which were built within the palace of the king. There he observed with almost a protective instinct the destiny of the vessels of God’s house that were brought to Babylon and placed in the Temple of Esagila, the temple of Marduk. What he did not see were the furnishings, the Ark of the Covenant, neither the Menorah nor the Altar of Incense.

Daniel 1:2 - “And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.”

The Fabled City of Babylon that Nebuchadnezzar II built

What remained of the vessels of the House of the Lord, after the entire furnishings of the Wilderness Tabernacle, the furnishings within the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies were hidden by Jeremiah and the Five Commando Guardians, the rest were carried to Babylon during three different military campaigns by the forces of Nebuchadnezzar.

605 BCE - The initial vessels taken from the Temple of Jerusalem were selected to be sent to the museum archives of the Temple of Marduk. There in Babylon, the vessels went along with the chief of the royal sons, the elite and the thinkers in the land of Judah. It can be assumed that the best of the remaining vessels that had not been hidden by Jeremiah and the five guardians of the temple treasures were sent to Babylon at this time. (Daniel 1:1-2)

597 BCE - When King Jehoiachin and his family were taken as prisoners after their switch of allegiance to the Egyptians, most of the rest of the vessels of precious metals were taken. (2 Kings 24:12-13)

586 BCE - The city was burned and razed, the temple was destroyed and the remaining vessels, mainly of bronze as well as the Bronze Sea, the Bronze Pillars in front of the Temple were taken at the capture of King Zedekiah. (2 Kings 25:13-17)

The land of Babylonia owed its prosperity to its vital and strategic position along the important Mesopotamian trade routes. The city of Babylon was strategically positioned near the north-south Tigris River trade route from Assyria to the Persian Gulf. It also straddled the Euphrates trade route going to the west and the eastern trade route going to Iran via the Zagros Mountains.

Babylon was not only the capital of the country of Babylonia, but also its religious center. It became the most populous city of the Near East under Nebuchadnezzar II. Its fame became one of legends with its showcase strength in its massive walls, the famed ziggurat reputed to have been built on the site of the more ancient Tower of Babel, the opulent Ishtar Gate, the magnificent temples and the fabled Hanging Gardens, recognized as one of the Wonders of the Ancient World.

The word, Babylon, comes from Babel, which is noted only once in the Vulgate in Genesis 11:9, which is derived from the Hebrew word, batal, meaning ‘to confound’. Outside the Bible, Babylonia is found in Baruk 1:1,4, 2:22, 6:1-3, 1 Maccabees 6:4, and II Maccabees 8:20.

Tiamet, one of the Stellar gods of Babylon that in the Cosmic Collisions of the Ancient past were part of the creation of Planet Earth with the Great Seas that surrounded it.

To the Babylonian citizens, their name comes from the Chaldean word, bab-ilu, meaning the ‘gate of G-d.” Even so, the local citizens called themselves, Ka-dingir, Babi-dingir, Tintir, and Shu-an-na, for ancient Babylonia was called by its inhabitants Dingir.

It is interesting to note that an inter-testament Jewish book, found in the Apocrypha was titled; Daniel and Susanna. This name is so similar to the word the Babylonians called themselves, Shu-an-na. To the Hebrew prophets, the inhabitants of Babylon were called ‘daughters of the Chaldeans.’ (Isaiah 47:1) and also Sesach or Sesac. (Jeremiah 25:26)

The Palaces of Nebuchadnezzar

Within the ruins of Babylon, the archeologists found this clay cylinder of Nebuchadnezzar II. Here it describes three palaces built for the king. The first was a remodeling of the palace of his father’s, Nabopolasser (625-605 BCE) which according to the record had become in disrepair. It was a good historical renovation project, but not fit for the megalomania grandeur that the new king was beginning to envision for himself. So; on the northern edge of Babylon, he built a new palace that had a blue parapet and was surrounded by massive fortifications.

Later in his reign, Nebuchadnezzar after erected the triple wall and tower fortifications around the city, built a third palace overlooking the Euphrates River. This was his ‘summer home’ with the same ventilation shafts still used today for cooling houses in the Near East. All the palaces were built with baked bricks, sealed with bitumen, while the roofs and door frames were constructed of imported cedar, cypress and fir.

The newer southern palace of Nebuchadnezzar was constructed around five courtyards which included the king’s private quarter and the quarters for his harems. Within the palace was a throne room and in two rooms behind the throne room were two oblong and one central square well shafts. At the top of the shaft was a wheel with a long line of pottery buckets that brought water up an oblong shaft, and the buckets would descend down the opposite oblong well shaft.

The central square shaft was an inspection shaft for cleaning and repairs. Animals or human slaves provided the power to move the water buckets up and down this brigade.

King Nebuchadnezzar.

Within the palace is also an anteroom, where officials and nobles who sought the audience of the king could go through a ritual washing plus enhancing their person with fragrances before entering the presence of their ruler; who had become sacred and deified in their land.

Drains were found in the floor of the anteroom, made by clay pots in which the bottoms were removed and bricks set on end to form a rim basin.

The Walls of Babylon

It was the walls of Babylon that gave it its image of strength and impregnability. Built around what was believed to be the decaying and tumbled down site of the ancient Tower of Babel, according to Herodotus, the walls were 300 feet high and 80 feet thick and built with an additional 35-foot deep wall foundation. The inner walls were “not so thick as the first, but hardly less strong.” In all the walls supported a concourse wide enough to allow a four-horse chariot room enough to turn around.

Today, the archeological site of ancient Babylon is near the present town of Hille, revealing a city of about five square miles though Herodotus claims that the city was 14 square miles while the walled city was eleven miles in circumference.

It is estimated that Nebuchadnezzar II used 15 million baked bricks in the official buildings of his new empire. The bricks were large, one-foot square, separated by three to four inches of mortar and were embossed or written the name of the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who cares for Esagila and Ezida, eldest son of Nabopolasser, king of Babylon”.

Around this city was a double or possible triple wall, with over 250 guard towers and eight massive gates that were centered along this thick wall of only brick and bitumen mortar. It was the Torah and contemporary cuneiform inscriptions that assigned a very great age to the city. In Genesis 11:1-9, it testified to a command to the citizens, "Let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar."

Outside the walls was a deep moat which in times of siege could be flooded by opening up the gates of the Euphrates River and sealing off the perimeter from the enemy forces. Overall there were about 100 brass gates; twenty-five of them were connecting the inner city with the Euphrates which flowed directly through the city on a diagonal route.

As Daniel and the first captives from the city of Jerusalem entered the city, they walked into the city from the north going first past a special festival house called the Bit Akitu and then taking a gentle incline, they were paraded down “Processional Way”, called the Aibur-shabu, or “the enemy shall never pass”.

Flanking to the right was the imposing Northern Palace and to the left the looming military bastion. They continued to proceed onward towards the dazzling blue tiled Ishtar gate with tile baked winged lions with white or yellow manes or yellow with red manes imbedded in the dark blue tile work, the color of the royal blue stone, lapis lazuli.

Horned Bulls on the Gate of Ishtar

The roadway was laid with huge flagstones of limestone each with an inscription of the dedication by Nebuchadnezzar II and on either were side slabs of rebeccia with white veins of minerals cascading through the mineral slabs mounting the walls. The sights were awe-inspiring with luxury and grandeur to behold. The processional way was also lined with about 120 lion statues, symbolizing the goddess Ishtar and horned bulls were imposed on the walls in molded glazed bricks.

Once they passed by the Ishtar Gate, they then marched past the Southern Palace, down a sloping street to the eight-storied ziggurat tower and the temple complex that surrounded this massive ziggurat tower, called the Etemenanki. Within the city they were confronted with a site which caused memories of revulsion within their own city of Jerusalem. One hundred eighty statutes dedicated to Ishtar were placed in strategic locations within in city, along with a total of 53 temples.

Was it not their king, Manasseh who allowed statutes and altars to be placed throughout Jerusalem which according to the most famous prophet in the city, Jeremiah, was to be the cause of the eventual overthrow of the city of Jerusalem?

The Ruins of Ancient Babylon with Nearby Restored Walls of Babylon by Saddam Hussein

II Kings 22:4-6 - “He (Manasseh) built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, ‘In Jerusalem will I put my name. And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. And he made his son pass through the fire (of Molach) and observed times and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger.”

The city was crowded with row after row of houses two to three stories in height whose flat roofs were buttressed with timber, packed with slime and mud. Whereas the Processional Way was paved, throughout the city, the new arrivals would become well acquainted with the 24 streets which made a grid across the city.

They were narrow with a width of four to twenty feet with high windowless walls on either side. Packed with raw dirt, the Jerusalemites soon found out that these streets were the dumping ground for the city garbage. After a certain amount of debris would pile up in the street, they would pack more clay on top of it.

The Walls of Ancient Babylon the Great

Over the years, the street would get higher and higher, eventually meaning that they soon had to walk down into their houses from the progressively elevating streets. For the poor within the city, in which wood for building construction was a luxury, there were built circular mud-brick huts, supported by a central support pole and walls packed with a mixture of reeds and mud.

The aristocrats and the nobles in the city had houses and palaces with separate bath areas where they could refresh themselves from the intense heat or to anoint themselves with oils and fragrances. Any bathing by the common residence was done on the banks of the canals that ran through the city or the courtyard cisterns.

The bathroom of a noble was usually about 15 feet square and constructed on the southern end of the house. The lower part of the walls and the floor were baked bricks and the floor was surfaced with a smooth layer of a composition of bitumen and powdered limestone. It was delicately sloped to the center in which the water ran off in baked or glazed earthenware tile water runways.

Archeologist have searched for evidence of clay bathtubs in this city, as history documents such tubs in the palace of Sargon the Great, the Assyrian king of Nineveh from 721 to 705 BCE. Conclusion to date suggests that Nebuchadnezzar’s bath was actually a shower, poured over him by slaves of a watery soap mixture of ashes of designated plants and fats. Some suggest this was more like a detergent rinse.

Map of Babylon

Privies and commodes appear to have their origin near this era. Again; the archeology of the palace of Sargon the Great showed an exotic array of six ‘toilets’ with high seats like the modern western toilet. Cesspools were unearthed, with drains connections to a main sewer that was 3.28 feet high, and 16 feet long, vaulted over with baked bricks. This sewer ran below the pavement along the outer wall of the palace.

Within the city, a ferry would take people from one side of the Euphrates to the other. In the coregent era of Nebuchadnezzar II and his son Nabonidatus, a draw bridge on stone peers, 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, was placed across the river. There was even a tunnel under the river 15 feet wide and 12 feet high, used for vehicular traffic.

The Sacred Temple of Marduk

The most sacred of the temples was the temple of Esagila, which in Sumerian meant, ‘The house that rises its head’, built to honor the Supreme god, Marduk. According to Daniel, within the sacred confines of the temple of Nebuchadnezzar’s god, Marduk, the Temple of Esagila, the sacred vessels from the temple of Solomon were placed for custody and safekeeping.

Situated in the center of Babylon, the Temple of Esagila housed two courts, the first was 40x70 meters and then to a smaller court 49x25 meters. Inside the temple shrine were two sacred rooms, the holy place and the ‘holy of holies’ which stood the golden statue of Marduk and his consort Zarpanitum. This temple was still functional in the 1^st century BCE less than a hundred years before the time of Christ.

The Temple of Marduk in Babylon, called the Esagila and the Ziggurat Temple of Etemenanki

Herodotus in his book, The History of the Persian Wars (c.430 BCE) gives a description of the Temple of Marduk called the Esagila.

Herodotus I.183: “There is a second temple, in which is a sitting figure of Jupiter [Marduk], all of gold. Before the figure stands a large golden table, and the throne whereon it sits, and the base on which the throne is placed, are likewise of gold. The Chaldeans told me that all the gold together was eight hundred talents' weight. Outside the temple are two altars, one of solid gold, on which it is only lawful to offer sucklings; the other a common altar, but of great size, on which the full-grown animals are sacrificed. It is also on the great altar that the Chaldeans burn the frankincense, which is offered to the amount of a thousand talents' weight, every year, at the festival of the god.”

"In the time of Cyrus there was likewise in this temple a figure of a man, twelve cubits high, entirely of solid gold. I myself did not see this figure, but I relate what the Chaldeans report concerning it. Darius, the son of Hystaspes, plotted to carry the statue off, but had not the hardihood to lay his hands upon it. Xerxes, however, the son of Darius, killed the priest who forbade him to move the statue, and took it away. Besides the ornaments which I have mentioned, there are a large number of private offerings in this holy precinct.”

Here we see within the Temple of Esagila, the most sacred of the Babylonian temples and the temple to the god of the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, a large golden image of a man that appears to be standing in the presence of the large golden sitting image of the god Marduk, the god of Babylon.

Where did this image come from? In whose image was this image made? Did Herodotus leave us with a secular historical account of the Biblical Golden Image of Nebuchadnezzar?

Nebuchadnezzar praying to Marduk in the Temple Esagila

Understanding that the golden image in the Most Holy Place of the Temple of Esagila was recorded many years after Nebuchadnezzar had died, it still documents one fact, the god of Nebuchadnezzar was Marduk. As we will learn later the god of Nabonidus and Belshazzar was not Marduk, but rather Sin. Every evidence suggests that the golden “figure of a man” was created during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar and documented in the reign of Cyrus the Great.

Did Nebuchadnezzar build two images or figures in the likeness of man? The historian has to seriously pause and consider that Herodotus’ image was the same “Golden Image” that Nebuchadnezzar erected in the Plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

The image to Nebuchadnezzar built on the plain of Dura was “threescore (60) cubits and the breadth thereof six cubits.” (Daniel. 3:1) yet the Golden Statue of Marduk was only twelve cubits or about 20 feet tall.

The Golden Statue of King Nebuchadnezzar and the Three Worthies: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Was this the same statue, with a different base put under it? Both were made of gold. Both appear to be in the image of a man. Assuming the aspiration and deification of Nebuchadnezzar by his people, the king had become the personification of their god, Marduk.

Both also seem to be shadowy types of the erection of the “Image to the Beast” which the world will pay homage with their foreheads (knowledge and mental assent) and their hands (physical giving to the king) and will personify the “Mark of the Beast” and the desecration of the temple of the Lord as he, the anti-Messiah, called the “Messiah the Prince” will seek to sit in the seat of the “Most High”.

At the time of the dedication of the golden image on the Plain of Dura, Daniel’s political status had now been elevated to sit in the “gate of the king” (Daniel. 1:49), at the judgment seat where the chief councilors and judges sat. He was recognized as one the supreme advisors or one of the ‘wise men’ of the realm. These were the king’s closest confidants, they were the Chaldeans also known as the Magi, the magicians or astrologers in the king’s inner council.

The Magi and the royal court should have been most grateful to Daniel for he saved their lives by tapping into the conduit of divine wisdom, when the Lord of hosts, revealed to him a dream that Nebuchadnezzar could not even remember.

Prophet Daniel interpreting the Dream of Nebuchadnezzar

It was the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, and he awakened greatly disturbed about a dream one evening. He did not want an interpretation of the dream, he wanted the dream to be revealed to him because he could not even remember it. It affected his psychic, causing him to become mentally disturbed, depressed and began having panic attacks over this event.

The Chaldeans, known as the Magi or wise men, kept advising the king, “Let the king tell his servants the dream and we will show you the interpretation of it.” (Daniel 2:4).

Nebuchadnezzar was wiser than this. Anyone can give an interpretation, whether valid or not, but to be a revealer of the secrets of the gods, would take a man who was endowed with wisdom and special skills from G-d. His response to the Chaldeans was:

Daniel 2:4 - “The thing (dream) is gone from me: if you will not make known unto me the dream with the interpretation of it, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.”

This was getting serious. Wipe out the whole echelon of royal advisors was within the power of Nebuchadnezzar and his edict was indicative of his distressed human mind. This edict was not just to those sitting in the court of the king at that time but to all the Magi in the whole land of Babylon.

Daniel was not in the king’s court at the time of this confrontation. He was presented with the edict of the king by Arioch, the king’s captain of the royal guard. With great diplomacy and almost assuredly a palpitating heart, he asked Arioch, the king’s captain to request of the king a short time to summon the God of his fathers for a special revelation. What courage! What faith!

Daniel was not skilled in oracular revelations. But he had faith that the Lord of host, the God of his forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would honor this request. With his friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, entered into a special prayer season with their Lord.

In a dream, while asleep, Daniel was revealed not only the dream of the king, but the meaning. The Lord of hosts was speaking with Daniel as a conduit for the revelations of the Most-High.

In the presence of Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel, known as Belteshazzar, quickly informed the king that he did not come with any special oracular skills, but that “there is a G-d in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days” (Daniel 2:28)

Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue representing Four Future World Empires now to be destroyed by the hand of HaShem with a Stellar Asteroid

The king in his dream had seen a great image. It had a head of gold, the chest and arms were of silver, the abdomen and thighs of brass, the legs of iron and the feet a mixture of iron and miry clay mingled with the seed of men. (Daniel 2:43) And then there was a stone, ‘cut out without hands’ that would shatter and destroy this image.

This was not just an image, it was a warp tunnel into the prophetic future. The image whose “brightness was excellent…and the form of the image was terrible.” This word, terrible is a unique word to the Bible, Chaldean in origin, dchiy, (Strong’s 1763) meaning to fear, to be formidable, to make afraid or dreadful. No, this was not a happy dream and Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of the world with the power and ego to match was truly mentally traumatized.

And then the G-d of heaven introduced Nebuchadnezzar to the Kingdom of G-d. It would rise up in the era of the kingdoms of gold (Babylon), silver (Medo-Persia), brass (Greece) and iron (Rome) and then the feet of iron and clay (the Islamic and European) nations that would inherit the vast reaches of these empires.

This stone that was ‘cut out without hands’, would become the central focus of the prophetic dream. Within the realm of Nebuchadnezzar and standing before him was a remnant of the people that would eventually form the foundation of this kingdom, the House of Judah. That dusty little capital, with a glorious temple, Jerusalem, would someday become the capital of that glorious kingdom in the future millennium.

Daniel, now known as Belteshazzar, was suddenly vaulted to the top echelon of the Babylonian government. He became the prime minister or ruler of the main province of Babylon, chief of the governors of the provinces (2:48), and master of the magicians or wise men of Babylon. (4:9)

In turn, Belteshazzar, named his three trusted and loyal Jewish friends now called Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, as the Ministers of Governmental Affairs of the Imperial Government in Babylon.

It was not long before the One G-d of Israel was preparing a “test” for Daniel’s three worthies who were now in charge of the governance of the entire Imperial government of Babylon. The edict went out to worship the Golden Image of King Nebuchadnezzar; all the peoples bowed down in reverence to One World Imperial ruler; but the three worthies refused.

King Nebuchadnezzar with Daniel’s Three Worthies Friends after their Freedom from the Fiery Furnace, now Jewish Governors over the Babylonian Empire

The friends of Daniel the Prophet were now facing annihilation, as Abram was also threatened in the Empire of Nimrod the Great, who built the Tower of Babel, was also thrown into a fiery furnace yet lived to become the Patriarch of the 12-Tribes of the House of Abram.

The Almighty One of Israel was now preparing to give King Nebuchadnezzar a lesson on his Own. The Three Worthies, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego continued to organize the governmental structure of the Jewish people in exile, preparing Torah seminaries for them to continue to learn the wisdom of Torah given to the “Nation of Israel” when they met HaShem at the mount called Sinai.

Daniel’s Three Worthies in Babylon’s Fiery Furnace

As such, the Jewish peoples remained a peaceful element in Babylon, whom King Nebuchadnezzar could trust. Their religion remained sacred to the worship of the One G-d of Israel and their culture in Babylon was preserved until the day when a new Messiah, King Cyrus the Great, a Lost Ten Tribe descendant of the House of Israel of the Pasargadae (tribe of Gad) arrived at the gates of Babylon.

The waters of the River Euphrates were diverted and the Lost Tribe military sappers crawled under the invincible walls of the most impregnable fortress in ancient times; toppled the City of Babylon without shedding one drop of Jewish blood.

The Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel military sappers had arrived and were swimming under the metal gates of Babylon at the same time when the grandson of King Nebuchadnezzar, Belteshazzar in violation of the Almighty One of Israel, celebrated in a banquet honoring with his chief counselors and advisors what he believed was the end of the 70-year prophecy given by the Prophet Jeremiah.

Belshazzar’s last Feast in Babylon

What Belshazzar did not comprehend, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel were arriving on a large military rescue mission; for the redemption of the Jews in exile was now at hand; a sign that the Empire of King Nebuchadnezzar was beginning its decline into extinction.

To Belshazzar’s amazement; as they celebrated the feast, they were also drinking wine as they desecrated the holy golden cups from King Solomon’s temple. Then; there on the walls of the palatial banquet hall the “Finger of the Divine” began writing the epithet for the Babylonian Empire.

"And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."

The One-G-d of Israel was now displaying His Divine hand. The Golden Kingdom of Babylon Era was now over.

Daniel 4, the madness of Nebuchadnezzar (the fourth chapter of the Bible's Book of Daniel) tells how King Nebuchadnezzar learns the lesson of G-d's sovereignty, "who is able to bring low those who walk in pride." Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a great tree that shelters the whole world, but in his dream an angelic "watcher" appears and decrees that the tree must be cut down and that for seven years he, Nebuchadnezzar, will have his human mind taken away and will eat grass like an ox. This comes to pass, and at the end of his punishment Nebuchadnezzar praises G-d. (Daniel's role is to interpret the dream for the king).

The message of Nebuchadnezzar's madness is that all earthly power, including that of kings, is subordinate to the power of HaShem, the One G-d of the Universes. It forms a contrasting pair with chapter 5: Nebuchadnezzar learns that G-d alone controls the world and is restored to his kingdom, while Belshazzar fails to learn from Nebuchadnezzar's example and has his kingdom taken from him and given to Cyrus the Great, the ruler of the Medes and Persians who actually were the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.

What historians fail to perceive, King Cyrus the Great was the king of the Pasargadae Tribe; or the Tribe of Gad and his military general Gobryas, Cyrus' kinsman, was also a minor king of the Tribe of Gad, who use to live on the "other side of the Jordan River".

Daniel 4 is a legend set in the royal court, like the other tales of chapters 1–6.The theme is the relationship between heavenly and earthly power: the king's power on earth is not denied, but it is subordinate to the power of G-d. Chapters 4 and 5 contrast Nebuchadnezzar, who learns his lesson when humbled by God, and Belshazzar, who learns nothing from Nebuchadnezzar's example and blasphemes against God, who then gives his kingdom to the Medes and Persians.

The story is set around the fall of Babylon, when on 12 October 539 BCE the Persian conqueror Cyrus the Great entered the city. Its last king, Nabonidus, was captured, and his fate is unknown, although he may have been exiled. Several details in the text do not match the known historical facts.

Belshazzar is portrayed as king of Babylon and son of Nebuchadnezzar, but was actually the son of King Nabonidus, one of Nebuchadnezzar's successors, and never became king. The conqueror is named as Darius the Mede, but no such individual is known to history; and the invaders were not Medes, but Persians. This is typical of the story's genre, in which historical accuracy is not an essential element.

The constituent elements of the Book of Daniel were assembled shortly after the end of the Maccabean crisis, which is to say shortly after 164 BCE. The tales making up chapters 2 to 6 are the earliest part, dating from the late 4th or early 3rd centuries. Their setting is Babylon, and there is no reason to doubt that they were composed in the Babylonian diaspora (i.e., among the Jewish community living in Babylon and Mesopotamia under Persian and then Greek rule). They reflect a society in which foreign rulers were not necessarily malevolent (Belshazzar rewards Daniel and raises him to high office); this is a marked contrast with the visions of chapters 7–12, where the sufferings of the Jews are the result of actions by the evil 2nd century BCE king Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

Belshazzar's feast is a legend, conforming to the subgenre of the "tale of court contest". This has been complicated by the inclusion of Daniel's indictment of Belshazzar's pride and his failure to honor the G-d of Israel; as a result the tale has a double ending, in which Daniel is first showered with rewards and honors for interpreting the omen, and the king is then punished to fulfill the sentence pronounced by Daniel.

Chapters 2 and 7 tell how all worldly kingdoms will come to an end and be replaced by the kingdom of G-d, and chapters 3 and 6 tell how pious Jews withstand the arrogance of earthly kings and are rescued by the G-d of Israel. Chapters 4 and 5 form the center and carry the most important message in their parallel but contrasting tales of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. The first is humbled by G-d, learns his lesson (he acknowledges the ultimate kingship of the Jewish G-d), and is restored to his throne; Belshazzar, in contrast, learns nothing from Nebuchadnezzar's example, blasphemes against G-d, and has his kingdom given to others.

^{Megalithic statutes are well known in antiquity. The Colossi of Memnon at ancient Thebes in Upper Egypt was a stone built statute of King Amenhotep II, the father of Akhenaten, was about 65 feet high.}

The Colossi of Memnon at ancient Thebes in Upper Egypt

The ancient Colossus at Rhodes, known as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world stood over 70 feet in height as it was built over the harbor of the city of Rhodes. It was dedicated to the god Helios and was built from the booty of the war left behind by Demetrius Poliorcetes when he raised his unsuccessful siege of Rhodes in 305 BCE.

The Colossus of Rhodes

Compare this with the Statute of Liberty in the New York harbor, which is 305 feet tall, yet the Statute herself is only 111 feet. If this same ratio 1:3 were put on the sixty-cubit statue of Nebuchadnezzar, the golden statue would be about 20 cubits or less, much closer to the size of the statue of Marduk in the Temple of Esagila.

The name for the Plain of Dura, where the golden image of Nebuchadnezzar originally stood, survives in the name of a tributary off the Euphrates River called Nahr Dura which is about 5 miles below Hille, the present city near the ruins of Babylon.

Therefore; five miles from the great city of Babylon, near the tributary river called Nahr Dura was the great Plain of Dura. Here the king summoned all the government leaders of his empire, the princes, and the governors of the provinces, the captains of the hosts, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs and the provincial rulers to come to a special dedication service.

This was an auspicious and august gathering. Zedekiah, king of Judah, recognized as one of the governors of the vassal state in the province of Judah was also summoned to this gathering in the 4^th year of his reign about 594/593 BCE. Accompanying the king was his chamberlain, Seraiah ben Neriah ben Maaselah, who was to take an oracle against Babylon.

While walking along the majestic walls towering over the Euphrates, he was to attach a stone to this manuscript and toss it into the Euphrates, saying “Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her…” (Jeremiah.51:59-64). It should be interesting to note that Seraiah and Baruk the scribe for Jeremiah were both sons of Neriah. Can we assume that Seraiah and Barak were brothers?

Here also is cast the epic account of the three Hebrew worthies, Daniel’s friends in the Ministry of Affairs Office that were cast into a fiery furnace because they refused the bow down to the golden statute in allegiance to King Nebuchadnezzar.

No doubt, King Zedekiah did not have any compunction about giving allegiance to the king and the god of the Babylonian king, Marduk. Besides, soon after Zedekiah returned to Jerusalem, he formed an alliance with the Egyptian and revolted against Nebuchadnezzar. The rest is now history.

Destination Yisrael – “Slowly the Almighty One of Israel is opening the gates of the Supernal Realm surrounding the Throne of G-d. He is revealing to us a mini-vision of our future as we become one with Him in the future Millennium of the Great Shabbat.

The struggles we will have within this era, will be to give up of ourselves, allow humility to become a part of our lives, for within each us is the sublime message that if we are willing to submit ourselves to His will, the power of the Divine will help us to jump the hurtles into our future.

Then we realize that the Eternal One now reveals to us that the future of our Eternity was given to Metatron, He was the first of creation, the most Exalted Being of the heavenly realms. He was the Vizier to the Holy One of Israel as Vizier like Joseph was to the Pharaoh of old. Here is a majestic being who oversees the running the Universes of the Divine.

And he was the same being that led the Children of Israel out of Egypt to the mount called Sinai this time as a Pillar of Fire at night and a Cloud to shade the daytime. Metatron was the “Guide” to Moshe in the Wilderness. It was here where he helped to lead and guide the Great Redeemer of the Children of Israel. Metatron became the Neshama Soul of Moshe in heaven that related to the “Indwelling Soul” or the Neshama Soul of Moshe on Planet Earth.

As such Moshe, as we also may, kept in constant touch with the Divine One for man, created in the Image of G-d, has always had direct line access with the One G-d of Israel. If you have wondered how biblical prophecy fits into your life, and how it will affect the Return of the House of Israel, then the G-d of Israel is beginning his “call” to bring you home, too. You might desire to reconnect with your cousins the Jews and the Biblical portrayals on what is and may be happening in your near future.

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.

DESTINATION YISRAEL scans the world for information that has relevance on the time of the end. It is our prayer that this will allow the believers in the Almighty One of Israel to “watch and be ready”. Our readiness has nothing to do trying to halt the progression of evil on our planet earth. In our readiness, we seek to be prepared for the coming of the Messiah of Israel so that goodness and evil will be manifested in its fullest.

Our preparation is a pathway of spiritual readiness for a world of peace. Our defender is the Metatron, the Lord of hosts. The time of the end suggests that the Eternal One of Israel’s intent is to close out this chapter of earth’s history so that the perpetrators of evil, those that seek power, greed and control, will be eliminated from this planet earth. The wars of the heavens are being played out on this planet earth and humans will live through it to testify of the might, power, justice and the love of the God of Israel.

In part one of this series we became acquainted with the fascinating document, Emeq HaMelekh and the roles of five worthy men, Shimur Ha Levi, Haggai (Chaggai the Prophet), Zechariah son of Iddo, Zedekiah (Zidkiyah), Hezekiah (Hizkiyah), Hilkiyah, Ezra the Cohen, and Baruch son of Neriah the Scribe for Jeremiah who were commissioned on a secret mission to hide the treasures of Solomon’s Temple.

Under the command of King Josiah, the Prophet Jeremiah as recorded in the Book of Maccabees secreted, with these Jewish revolutionaries for the G-d of Abraham, the museum archives of the Nation of Israel. These treasures possessions were stored in Zedekiah’s Grotto or Cavern under the Temple Mount (Hiram As-Sharif) below the Temple of Solomon (Beit HaMikdash). There the Sanctuary of the Congregation (Mishkhan) described in the Torah, the Ark of the Covenant, the Menorah, the Altar of Incense were stored in times of security.

The Copper called Qalal (Kalal) was used the Store the Ashes of the Red Heifer

These were taken to a safe haven several miles from Jerusalem in the Valley of Achor, near the caves of the Essene community of Qumran famed for the Dead Sea Scrolls and in site of Mount Nebo.

This site was accessible by the extensive tunnels that extended from what is now known as Solomon’s (Schlomo’s) Quarries or Stables. Now in the Emeq HaMelekh, a group of Mishnahs, we can read the rest of the story of how the vast treasures that was saved for the future atonement of the chosen people of G-d at the time of the end.

Vendyl Jones and his Research Institute and the Temple Institute were prominent in the quest to find the Qalal, a pottery jug containing the Ashes of the Red Heifer, the Wilderness Sanctuary (Mishkhan) and the Ark of the Covenant.

This chapter we will be introduced to the discoveries of the of the Copper Scroll (Luach Nehoshet), the Anointing Oil (Shemen Afarsimon) which was used the anoint the prophets and the kings, the Temple Incense (Pitum haQetoret) and the special Incenses Spices prepared by the noted Jewish Avtinas family for the Jewish Temple.

The Qalal (Kalal) with Ashes of the Red Heifer still awaits discovery, for it was used according to the Seder Ha Olam during the dedication of the Sanctuary Tabernacle and without it the waters of purification needed to cleanse and purify a new Jewish Temple would not be possible.

Here the story of the ten red heifers that were to be killed before the time of the messiah (Maschiach) and the nine red heifers that were sacrifices for a sin offering between Sinai and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE will be told.

It was the officiating priests, Ezra the Cohen, Shemon HaTzaddik, Yochanan High Priest, Hananel Egyptian, Ishmael Piabi who took the heifers ‘outside the camp’, across the Kidron Valley and over the Bridge of the Red Heifer to the Miphkad anointed altar on the Mount of Olives in the days before the destruction of the Temple of Solomon.

Whereas in Christian theology, the Prince of David, Yehoshua (Jesus), who was called “The Nazarene” was adapted into Roman Catholic theology as the Passover Pesach lamb, the Prince Yehoshua was also identified as an anti-type of the heifer that was slain or executed on a tree according to the Essene traditions as a sin offering on the Day of Atonement.

Now we will see that the extensive Jewish temple ritual of the burning of the red heifer was part of a literal Jewish drama, enacted every year since the days of King Solomon’s Temple in exquisite literal detail. It was also prophetically reenacted by the illegal nighttime trial of the Prince of David, Yehoshua, by the corrupt Sadducees who sat in judgment within the Sanhedrin in the Chamber of Hewn Stones.

This included a walk through the eastern gate of the temple, across the Kidron Valley where history has documented was executed on a tree as a final reenacting of the sacrifice of the red heifer on the Miphkad altar on the Mount of Olives.

Omens prior to the destruction of the temple by the Roman forces occurred during the forty years after the execution drama of Yehoshua when:

The massive door called Hekel opened on its own by supernatural forces;
The crimson cord also turned white as a portrayed in the aborted attempt to sacrifice the tenth red heifer.
With the discovery of the mikvaot baths for the high priest above the Gihon Springs and the possibility of Solomon’s temple as being erected at this site, we will consider that the tenth red heifer was selected to be sacrificed during the Pesach ceremonies yet according to Essene traditions, the execution of the red heifer was aborted when the “red heifer” instead gave birth to a lamb.
Type met anti-type on the temple mount as the true Pesach lamb, in the human body of the one called “The Nazarene” death drama of the death called Prince Yehoshua, the son of the Prince of David Yosef (Joseph), who was the brother of James the Just, in Essene traditions as Joseph of Arimathea.

Mishnah 2

These are the holy vessels and the vessels of the Temple that were in Jerusalem and in every place. They were inscribed by Shimur HaLevi and his companions, on a "Luach Nehoshet" (Copper Plate/Sheet), with all the Vessels of the Holy of Holies that Shlomo son of David made. And together with Shimur were Hizkiyahu, Zidkiyah, Haggai the Prophet, and Zechariah, son of Berachiah, son of Ido the Prophet.

The Copper Scroll called the Luach Nehoshet in this Mishnah, we now can portray in living reality as we see the five Temple treasury guardians working together laboriously as they inscribing on what is called the “Luach Nehoshet” or the brazen, brass or copper sheet or plate (Strong’s 5178 - nekj-o-sheth). This is our strongest evidence of the origin of the Copper Scroll found at Qumran.

The Copper Scroll by the West Semitic Research Project

The picture is now beginning to unfold. Zechariah and his famed end of times Oracles, with Haggai and his five exhortations which encouraged the speedy rebuilding of the temple of Zerubabbel, along with Zidkiyah(Zedekiah), the 1^st civil leader of the newly returned Jerusalem community.

They with Hizkiyahu (Hezekiah) and Shimur HaLevi were all co-conspirators and accomplices in the secret spiritual and religious mission to preserve the sacred vessels of the Mishkan (Sanctuary) which included the articles of temple service in the renown Temple of Solomon (Shlomo)

The Legacy of the Copper Scroll

The Copper Scroll was part of the collection of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in May 1952 in cave Qvj3 in the caves of Qumran. It was first translated in 1956-57 after the archeologists designed a way to cut the copper sheets that had been rolled up into two copper rolls. Within the Copper Scroll it described the location of where the Qalal (the copper urn that hold the ashes of the red heifer) and the Temple treasures are hidden including possible cryptic references to the Ark of the Covenant, the Altar of Incense and other sacred furnishings of the Mishkhan, the Wilderness Sanctuary of the Congregation hid by the Prophet Jeremiah.

Yet most researchers believed that this scroll either was a forgery, or was part of the temple treasures of Herod’s Temple that were secreted away prior to its destruction from the Roman forces in 68-70 CE. So, the Copper Scroll lay ignored for over twenty years in the Museum of Amman, Jordan.

As M.A. Ben-Luria stated: “…the validity and authenticity of the Copper Scroll would remain in question until one single item mentioned in the scroll is discovered. Once something is found at Qumran that was listed among the 64 designated items and places in the Copper Scroll, the scroll’s validity would finally be unquestioned.”

The Copper Urn held the Ashes of the Red Heifer along and the “Pottery Juglet of the Shemen Afarsimon” held the Holy Anointing Oil

The Holy Anointing Oil (Shemen Afarsimon)

And so, it was. In April 1988, the Vendyl Jones Research Institute in collaboration with Professor Yoseph Patrich, Benny Arubas and Benny Agur of the Hebrew University made an astounding discovery.

A juglet of the Shemen Afarsimon, the Holy Anointing Oil was discovered in Cave 13 (Jordan’s Cave #24). The Pharmaceutical Department of Hebrew University tested the substance inside the small juglet and gave their scholarly verification that it was the Shemen Afarsimon of Psalms 133.

Psalms 133 - “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments: as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing even life for evermore.”

This Anointing Oil was used by the Prophet Eli to anoint King Saul and later King David and Solomon, but also the High Priests of the Temple of the Lord and the Prophets. This oil was also used as a fragrance that was poured on the oblation to provide a ‘sweet smelling savor’ on the sacrifices.

The Holy Temple Incense (Pitum haQetoret)

According to the Jewish Torah scholars; in particular the Jewish Kabbalists, who write about the supernatural remedy called the segula which meant the “supernatural remedy” concerning the reading of the incense offering in front of the Mantle of the Most Holy Place. These august moments in temple service enactment spoke of the special benefits it brings upon the one who reads it from the parchment in the presence of the Holy One of Israel.

Our Torah scholars and, particularly, the kabbalists teach us about the segula (supernatural remedy) of reading the incense offering, and of the benefits it brings, especially when read from parchment.

Anyone who reads the scriptural account of the incense offering is as if he offered the incense in the Holy Temple himself. Its reading has the same power as when Aharon, the High Priest, used the (secret of the) incense offering to stop the plague and the Angel of Death.

The secret had to have been revealed to Moshe for a Heavenly Voice asked, 'Who revealed this secret to my children?'." Therefore, Moshe received the secret of the incense offering at the time of the Giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai from the Prosecuting Angel and passed it down to his brother, Aharon, the High Priest.Since then, we have this knowledge from generation to generation.

The recitation of the incense offering from a text written in Torah script is a segula for merit, wealth, and success in all endeavors. (Caf HaChaim-Chapt. 132, Sec. 23)

Also within the Copper Scroll, is documentation of the Holy Incense that was used to by the priests to sprinkle on the Altar of Incense in the Holy Temple. On April 8, 1992, the excavation team of Vendyl Jones Research Institute, was searching the strata in the Cultural Dome of the ‘hidden north entrance’ at the Cave of the Column”, when Glenda Hurst, a volunteer called out to Larry Banks, “Come over here and look at this. It’s some kind of red stuff that is very different.” The taste test and the smell test revealed an organic compound with a hint of cinnamon in it.

The samples, that were sent to Dr. Marvin Antelman with the Weizman Institute and Ya’acov Arkin at the Israel Institute of Geology, both determined that the substance was indeed organic, for the "density indicates that the material which is lighter than water is excluded from the category of red soil or red minerals......also the high percentage of ash is typical of plant source." In all, it was identified that this substance contained eight of the eleven spices present in the Pitum haQetoret (Temple Incense), all in a highly refined state.

This was again confirmed again at the laboratories at Bar-Ilan University. With the addition of two additional inorganic ingredients, Karsina Lye and Sodom Salt, which was found near-by in the same cave, ready to be mixed with the spices, the ingredients of the Holy Incense, the haQetoret, would be mixed to be used in the Temple services according to the Torah and the Talmud.

Later and more exhaustive testing and analysis by Dr. Terry Hutter, a paleo-botanist, who stated that not just eight ingredients, but ‘the red-brown spice sample is composed of nine different and unique plants. The plants are recognizable both by pollen and organic maceral types.” These plants types include.

Three kinds of Cinnamon
Saffron
Balsam
Myrrh
Galganum
Cassia
Frankincense

There on the cave floor a total of eight hundred pounds of spices (600 kilos) were waiting to be mixed and transported to the Temple. This quantity of spices is significant because it is equivalent to the amount of spice used in one year of daily sacrifices in the Temple. In the Torah, only four ingredients are listed for the haQetoret, whereas the Mishnah lists eleven ingredients plus Sodom Salt and Karcina Lye.

It is also in the Mishnah that records that the Avtinas family were given charge and custody of the secret recipe of compounding the pharmaceutical mix of these spices and ingredients. The has been recorded that the fragrance of the haQetoret was so powerful that when it was being mixed, one could smell it clear over to Jericho, twelve miles north of Qumran.

Qalal, the Copper Urn that contained the Ashes of the Red Heifer

In March 2002, in a farm in Galilee, an Israeli rancher had a cow that gave birth to a red heifer that was born without blemish that is no white hairs on her body and face. After the heifer was a month old the Temple Institute was contacted and Rabbi Menachem Makeover and Rabbi Chaim Richman to inspect her. There they found this young heifer to be kosher and a potential candidate to become the 10^th red heifer in Hebrew history.

The world press was abuzz with the news of the birth of a pure red heifer in the Land of Israel. The orthodox community of Israel was all astir, and the topic of discussion was when was the era of the Last Days and the 10^th Red Heifer about to begin?

In the Siddur, called the Four Parshiot in the Parah, it states:

Four Parshiot in the Parah - “The hiding place of its (the red heifer) ashes will be revealed” and in the Mishnah, Tractate Parah it states that the tenth red heifer that will be burned will be done in the time when the Messiah (Moschiach) comes and restores a new Temple for His people.”

This young heifer was only a month old, yet within two to three years, if no more than three white or black hairs are found on her body, the orthodox Jews would have sufficient reason to take possession of the Temple Mount, where most of them feel the Temple of Solomon had been built and begin the construction of a new temple there.

The reports of the birth of a potential red heifer, though genetically rare in this age of advanced genetic knowledge and artificial insemination, are becoming more frequent.

According to an article in The Mid-East Dispatch, issue 237, the 16th of March 1997, that a six-month old red heifer had been born to a black and white cow and a dun colored bull, in the religious kibbutz, Kfar Hassidim, near the northern Israeli port of Haifa. This heifer called Molly, was also declared kosher, but within a year blemishes and imperfections were noted.

This arcane piece of Biblical knowledge on the purification rites of the red heifer has left the Christian community puzzled and the Islamic community in consternation.

In the beginning of the Israelite nation, Moses (Moshe) was standing on Mount Sinai and was given not only the two tablets of the Decalogue engraved on stone, but the Written Torah in which the letters (Words) were given one by one by the Lord of hosts to Moses for him to write down.

The Red Heifer in 2002

This was the Written Torah of the Hebrews which included the first five books of the Hebrew Scripture called the Pentateuch, which he was to write down as dictated to by the Lord of hosts.

On the other hand, the Lord spent 120 days, 40 days on three separate ascents by Moses, in which he revealed to Moses how these ordinances and commandments of the Lord were to be put or lived out in human life. This was called the Oral Torah.

The Mishkhan, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, built in the wilderness by the skills given to noble craftsman, called Bezaleel under the supervision of Moses, was dedicated according to the Seder Ha Olam on the 1^st day of the 1^st month (Nissan) in the second year of the Exodus (Jewish year 2449 from Adam).

The first day of services was completed and according to the Seder Olam, on the second day, Moses was instructed by the Lord of hosts to have the priest Eliezar, the priest, take a perfect red cow, under the age of three and who had not had a yoke put to her neck, and lead her out of the camp of Israel into the wilderness and slaughter her.

Numbers 19: 1-8 -

19:1 - “And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

19:2 - “This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

19:3 - ‘And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:

19:4 - ‘And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

19:5 - “And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

19:6 - ‘And the Priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

19:7 - “Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even….

19:8 - “And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

19:9 - ‘And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel (“as a keepsake for Israel’) for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.

19:10 - “And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute forever.”

Holy Anointing Oil (Shemen Afarsimon

There in the wilderness that is outside the camp of the Israelites the red heifer was then burned with a mixture of cedar, hyssop and scarlet covering. Here the cedar, oil from the juniper bush in the Sinai desert, would cause a skin irritation, which would stimulate the applicant to vigorously rub the solution in their hands. The hyssop oil was known for its antiseptic properties, as Hyssop oil contained 50 percent carvacrol, and an antifungal and antibacterial medicinal agent.

The Preparation of the Ashes of the Red Heifer

Note carefully that we say burned, as this demonstrates that whole body of the heifer, even the blood and organs were burned to ashes. The ashes would then be made into a liquid paste and used in the water of purification that a Jew or Israelite must undergo in a ceremonial purification cleansing before they can enter the Temple complex.

The ashes were then gathered by another priest who was recognized to be ritually ‘clean’ and kept in a vessel in a place outside the camp of Israel that was also kept ritually ‘clean’. After that a small fragment of these ashes could be placed in water in a vessel or thrown upon a body of water. How do we know if this water was purified? According to the rabbinic tradition, if the surface of the water became disturbed when the ashes touched the water, then purification had occurred.

The Nine Red Heifers in Jewish History

G-d instructs Moshe to Prepare Anointing Oil and Incense for Ordination of the Kohanim

Skilled Artisans, Betzalel and Oholiav, are Assigned to Make Objects for the Kohanim and the Mishkan

According to the historical records kept by the Jews in their Mishnah, a total of nine perfectly red heifers have been burned. In the Mishnah 5, called the Tractate Parah, these nine heifers burned in the sacrificial history of the Israelites and the Jews have been recorded.

“The first heifer that was burned was under the supervision of Moses on that 2^nd day of Nissan in the second year from the Exodus.
The second heifer was burned under the supervision of Ezra;
Two were burned by Shimon Ha Tzaddik;
Two were burned by Yochanan, the High Priest, the seventh by Eliehoenai, the son of He-Kof, the eighth by Hanamel, the Egyptian,
The ninth by Ishmael, son of Piabi and the
Tenth will be burned in the time of the Maschiach (Messiah).”

In this same tractate, Mishnah 5, it uncovered the conditions that would be vital to purify the future generations of Jews and Israelites at the end of times. The oracles of G-d state over and over that the chosen people were to be a Holy People and a Holy Nation. The rites of purification were therefore applicable not only to the people of G-d but also to the Land. For the rites of purification to exist in the End of Times, the ashes of the tenth heifer must be mingled with the ashes of the previous nine heifers.

In the days of the first and the second temples, the ashes were divided into three parts. The first lot of ashes was kept by the Levites who guarded the entrance of the Temple. The second lot of ashes was kept on Anointment Hill, now called the Mount of Olives. It was on that sacred mount that the prophets and the kings were anointed.

It was also on that site that the priest would be purified in a ceremony that was deemed necessary before he could burn the body of another red heifer. The third lot was placed in the chail, a portion of the wall approximating the Women’s Gallery of the Temple.

Yet a puzzle still exists. If you will notice, from the time of Moses and the dedication of the Sanctuary of the Congregation at Mount Sinai until the fall and destruction of the Temple of Solomon, the ashes of only one red heifer was used in the purification of the priests and the temple.

This suggests that the Wilderness Tabernacle (the Mishkhan) until the end of the days of Solomon stayed in a state of ritual purity in which very little of the ashes of the red heifer had to be used.

After the death of Solomon and the split of the House of Judah from the House of Israel, the Temple services still remained a strong moral force in the Land of Judah, until the days of King Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, a king with such evil in his heart that he sold the physical and moral fiber of the Kingdom of Judah to the Devil.

2 Chron. 33:2-4,5-7,9 (parts)- “He did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the abomination of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and made wooden images; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. …he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. And he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists.

He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. He even set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of G-d….so Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitance of Jerusalem to do more-evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel”

It was the reforms with the subsequent purification and dedication of the Temple, plus bringing the Ark of the Covenant from its hiding place in the bowels of Solomon’s Grotto a thousand feet under the Temple by the twelve-year old King Josiah, it appeared that the ashes of Moses’ Red Heifer were almost fully used up. At the end of Josiah’s reign, the Prophet Jeremiah advised that the Ark and the Wilderness Sanctuary be hidden permanently.

After the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon, the second Red Heifer was sacrificed, apparently to rededicate the new Zerubbabel’s Temple to the Lord. During the years from 520 BCE (350 BCE by Jewish yearly calculations), until 70 CE when Temple of Herod was ransacked and destroyed, eight more heifers were slaughtered.

This suggests that from 1585 BCE to 538 BCE, over one thousand years, ritual purity was maintained within the Sanctuary and the Temple complexes, yet for the last 420 years until the destruction of Herod’s Temple, there was a constant and repetitive breech in the rites of purification of the priests and the temple as given by the L-rd of hosts to Moses.

According to the traditions of the Jews, the hierarchy of the temple priests became more and more aware that the sacrificial system within the temple was corrupted and not accepted in the eyes of the Lord of hosts.

Note what the Talmud states occurred at the time of the of the execution of the Prince of David, Yehoshua by the High Priests of the House of Ananias and the corrupt Sadducees of that era.

Shabbat 15a - “Forty years before the destruction of Jerusalem, the Sanhedrin was banished (from the Chamber of Hewn Stones in the Temple) and sat in the trading Station (in the Temple to the east of the former Chamber)”

Yoma 39b - “Our rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the lot (‘For the Lord’) did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson colored strap become white; nor did the western most light (the three-lamp shaft with seven lamps each on the right side of the Menorah nearest the Holy of Holiest) shine; and the doors of the Hekel (the large doors into the Holy Place) would open by themselves.”

What has been little revealed, was the genealogical evidence that the High Priest of King Herod’s Temple in the last three decades of the BCE era was Yehoshua III, the third High Priest of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

The High Priest Yehoshua III, as genealogical history has portrayed, was the father of three daughters; Jane (Joanna), Elizabeth and Hanna. As the newly reigning high priest, it was the Zadokian High Priest, Boethus the Zadokian, who presided as the “Nasi” or the President of the Great Sanhedrin at this momentous moment of time in 37 BCE. We know so little of this priest called Boethus, except as the Patriarch of the House of Boethus, the descendants of his seven sons virtually controlled the office of the high priest in Jerusalem for almost a hundred and eighty years. Here was the testimony of Flavius Josephus when he wrote:

Flavius Josephus – “There was one Simon, a citizen of Jerusalem, the son of one Boethus, a citizen of Alexandria, and a priest of great note there

In the genealogies of the “High Priest of Israel” by Davidian genealogist, David Hughes, Boethus was a Zadokian descendant, the 31^st in descent from Zadok, the high priest of King David.

This is of special note, because it was the Lord of hosts that specifically noted to King David and his son, King Solomon that it would be the High Priest Zadok and his descendants who would carry the hereditary responsibility to be the chosen in descent of the House of Aaron to preside in the honored position as the High Priests of Israel.

They were to represent the national consciousness of the Israelites and the Jewish people in the sacred services at Pesach (Passover and the Festival of First Fruits), Pentecost, Yom Kippur (Day of Judgment), and Succot (Festival of Tabernacles).

The Miphkad Altar

The altar upon which the Red Heifer would be burned is called by the rabbis as the Miphkad Altar. In Nehemiah 3 we see the historical description of the reparations done to the gates of Jerusalem. The Miphkad Gate was one of the gates into the city which was near the corner of the city near the Sheep Gate.

Nehemiah 3:31-32 - “After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith’s son unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the Gate Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner. And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.”

The Hebrew meaning of Miphkad is ‘appointed’, which is also referenced in Ezekiel 42, which talks of the bullock being burned as the sin offering at the appointed place (Miphkad).

Ezekiel 43:21 - “Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place (Miphkad) of the house, without the sanctuary.”

Combining the burning of a cow (bullock) as the sin offering at an appointed place (Miphkad) which was outside the sanctuary, what we can now see combines all the elements of that moment of time in history when a Prince of the genealogical descendants of Kings David and Solomon, the Prince of David Yehoshua was executed by hanging on a tree, according to the testimony of the Essenes.

This was a prophetic representation of a “sin offering” representing symbolically all the sins of the world. According to some scholars was crucified on a ‘tree’ on the Mount of Olives, without the sanctuary, at an appointed place designated by the temple priests and the Romans. This execution was representation of the era of the future which included the future purification of the saints and remnant of the chosen ones of Israel who were believed with all their hearts that the Prince of David Yehoshua was the literal and symbolic messiah of their generation during the Temple of Herod in the 1^st century CE.

The Red Heifer and Yehoshua the Prince - the Type/Antitype of the Sin Offering

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem

The author of the Book of Hebrews makes an interesting analogy between the Red Heifer and the Prince of David called Rabbi Yehoshua:

Hebrews 13:9-13 - “We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the gate.

Therefore, Yehoshua the Prince also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside, the gate. Therefore, let us go forth to him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.”

As all the other offerings in the temple services were also utilized as food for the priests and Levites, the bodies of the bullock, goat and the red heifer were to be burnt with their whole bodies reduced to ashes.

Four Types of Sin Offerings

There were four types of sin offerings. Three of these were killed or slaughtered at the slaughtering arenas within the temple proper, “before the presence of the Lord.” (Lev 4:4)

All three had their blood sprinkled seven times before the Inner Curtain which veiled the Holy of Holiest. All three sin offerings had their bodies carried out of the camp to be burned to ashes on the altar outside the camp.

The first sin offering was a young bullock which was slain for the sins of the high priest. (Lev. 4:3-12) and the final burning was in a clean place outside the camp. The second type of sin offering was also a young bullock which was slain for the corporate community of Israelites, the entire assembly (Lev. 3:13-21)

The ritual separation of the fat and certain organs was the same as the first bullock. The third sin offering was on the Day of Atonement in which a young bullock and a goat were carried outside the camp and burned in the entire carcass of the animals. (Lev. 16:27)

The holiest of all the sin offerings, was the fourth sin offering, the Red Heifer. The red heifer, offered as a sin offering for purification of the collective congregation of Israel, was slaughtered according to the dictates of the Lord of hosts to Mosshe outside the camp of Israel. (Num. 19:3)

Unlike the other sin offerings, the Red Heifer was walked over to the Altar on the Mount of Olives and there burnt in its entirety. The difference of the red heifer and the other sin offerings is that the other three offering were for absolving sin; giving the recipient freedom from sin or in a sense; “salvation”. On the other hand, the ashes of the red heifer were to bring “holiness”.

The blood of the red heifer was sprinkled outside the camp, the body burned to ashes and then the ashes through some mystical process that left even the wisdom of Solomon bewildered, bestowed holiness and purification with the pure spring water as its was sprinkled not only over people, but over the land.

They purified the temple with it. They could purify the entire city of Jerusalem if needed or the entire Land of Israel. Let us let Alfred Edersheim explain the deep meaning of the Red Heifer:

Alfred Edersheim - “As the first manifestation of sin which separates man from G-d, defilement by the dead required a sin-offering, and the ashes of the red heifer are expressly so designated in the words; It is a “sin-offering.” (Num. 9:17) But it differs from all other sin-offerings.

The sacrifice was to be a pure red color; one “upon which never came a yoke; and a female. All other sin-offerings for the congregation being males….But what distinguished it even more from all the others was, that it was a sacrifice once for all, (at least so long as its ashes lasted); that its blood was sprinkled, not on the altar, but outside the camp towards (westward) the sanctuary; and that it was wholly burnt, along with cedar wood, as the symbol of imperishable existence, hyssop, as the of purification from corruptions, and “scarlet” which from its color as the emblem of life.

Thus; the sacrifice of “Highest Life”, was brought as a sin-offering, and, so as far as possible, once for all, was in its turn accompanied by the symbols of Imperishable existence, freedom from corruption, and fullness of life, so as yet more to intensity its significance. But even this is not all.

The gathered ashes with running water were sprinkled on the third and seventh days on that which was to be purified. Assuredly, if death meant “the wages of sin,” this purification pointed in all its details, to “the gift of G-d,” which is “eternal life” through the sacrifice of Him in whom is the fullness of life.” (The Temple, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., Michigan. 1987, pages 348-349)

The High Priest was forbidden to offer the sacrifice of the Red Heifer. In the same manner and in the same location, only Yehoshua, the son of G-d, and as our High Priest, could offer His life as a ‘sin offering’ for the entire planet would also be sacrificed ‘outside the gate” or “outside the camp”.

This strongly suggests that the place where the red heifer was slain was also near the site where Yehoshua was executed. This was the Holiest area surrounding the city of Jerusalem. (Berakoth 9:5)

“Outside the Camp”

Inside the Southern Half of the Chamber of Hewn Stones where the Great Sanhedrin met in Session

What does “outside the camp” mean? In Numbers 15:35-36, it is clear that the death penalty under the Torah was to be administered “outside the camp.” Yet what were the limits or how far away from the camp of the Israelites was this to be?

As the children of Israel were moving throughout the wilderness, they kept a certain distance between the Wilderness Tabernacle and the encampment or their places of habitation according to their clans each with their standards and ensigns. (Numbers 2).

When they were to follow the Ark of the Covenant around the city of Jericho, this ‘distance’ that they were to keep away from the Ark of the Covenant was specified.

Joshua 3:3 - “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your G-d, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. Yet there shall be a space between you and it (the ark”, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it (ark)…”

So, they needed 2000 cubits or 3000 feet or 1000 yards in order to maintain the sanctity of the ark and for the preservation of their own lives. According to the Hebrew law, the place of residence for an individual, whether a tent or a house, would extend out from its abode for 1000 yards. If the place of dwelling was in a corporate site such as a walled village, a Levitical town or walled city, then the city limits was 1000 yards from the outer walls of the village, town or city.

The House of the Lord, wherein rested the Holy of Holiest and the Ark of the Covenant, was the symbolic dwelling place of the Lord of hosts. To be “outside the camp” or “outside the gate”, it would have to be over 1000 yards (2000 cubits) from the Temple Proper or the residence of G-d. During the days of the 1^st century Jewish messiah of its era called “The Nazarene” the Great Sanhedrin, who governed from the Chamber of Hewn Stones, which was on the left side of the Holy of Holiest facing east, or the north side of the Temple proper, used the same calculations to determine the corporate city limits of the city of Jerusalem.

Since the court of the Sanhedrin stood as the center, a radius of 1000 yards determined the limits of their encampment. Outside this perimeter was “outside the camp”. As such the traditional sites of Jeremiah’s Grotto, the site of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and a small hill north-east of the Damascus Gate would be excluded from this definition of “outside the camp” and thereby excluded as potential sites for the execution of the crucifixion of the Prince of David, Yehoshua Ha David.

Symbols and Types of the Sin Offering

The Hebrew author takes it a bit further. He recognized that the Torah (Law) was but a shadow of the future saving power to be brought by the son of G-d. Jesus, as the ultimate ‘sin offering’ for the world would give His body to pay the penalty of sin in order that sin could be eradicated forever from this planet and this universe. Yes, Yehoshua, as the Living Torah, would fulfill all these shadow and types imbedded in the sanctuary services.

Hebrews 10:11-13 - “And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sin. But his Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of G-d, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. (Ps. 110:1, Eph.1:22, ‘the last enemy that will be destroy is death” 1 Cor 15:26)

This typology was inclusive of the both the bullocks and the goats which were used as sin offerings and the red heifer which was used for purification and holiness (from sin or defilement) of the Levites and the temple premises.

Hebrews 9:13-14: “For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to G-d, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the Living G-d.”

The early Hebrew Nazorean Ecclesia, remembering that in this era there were no Christians, no bishops, no popes, and leadership of the Hebrew Nazorean Ecclesia believers recognized the symbolic relationship between “The Nazarene” and the Red Heifer as depicted in the Letter of Barnabas (8:2) written about 90 CE which stated, “The calf “Red Heifer” is Yehoshua; the sinful men offering it are those who led him to the slaughter.”

The Temple Ritual of the Red Heifer

The whole temple services which revolved around the sin offerings and the ashes of the Red Heifer has been studied extensively by the late Ernest Martin. In his book, Secrets of Golgotha, the forgotten history of Prince Yehoshua’s execution, (ASK Publications, Alhambra, CA. 1988, 0 945657 77 3.), he documents in the Jewish records that describe the ritual of preparation of the ashes of the red heifer.

In the Mishnah, the early Jewish records describe the positioning of the Temple as facing east, with the Holy of Holiest on the western end of the temple premises. Note that this is the same pattern of the Garden of Eden, in which Adam and Even approached G-d by traveling west and were cast out of the garden by being sent out of the Eastern Gate.

Here we see the Lord of hosts residing in His residence, and He is envisioned as looking from His dwelling place or “Throne” in the Holy of Holiest facing east towards the Mount of Olives.

The Giant Menorah is standing on His right hand side, with all the symbolisms of the Haredi Prince of David, Rabbi Yehoshua, as the “Light of the World” standing on the right hand side of the HaShem our “Father” and as we have noted above, after the execution of Yehoshua, the three lamp poles on the western end of the Menorah, or those nearest the Holy of Holiest, failed to give light, as though the Light or the Glory of the Shekinah, which Yehoshua was a reflection, was extinguished (executed) from the Inner Sanctum of the Holy Place.

During the special ceremony of slaughtering the red heifer, which we need to be reminded occurred only nine times between Sinai and the destruction of the temple in 70 CE, the red heifer was led out of the eastern gate, across the doubled tiered arched bridge called the Bridge of the Red Heifer, to the Mount of Olives and led up to an altar near the summit of the mount. (Middoth 1:3; 2:4; Yoma 7:2 plus the Talmud in Yoma 68a and Zebahim 105b). Here on this altar called the Miphkad (Appointed) Altar, the ceremony of preparing and burning the red heifer was performed.

The Trial of Yehoshua Ha Notzri (Jesus the Nazarene)

Adding the typology of the Hebrew Jewish Nazorean believers of Yehoshua, under the leadership of James (Yacob) the Just (Tzaddik), the brother of the Prince of David Yehoshua , we can now see the shadows and symbols of Yehoshua as the Passover Lamb in which every detail of the selection, preparation and slaughter of the Pesach Lamb at Passover matched with every detail of Yehoshua, the Messiah of his generations. Yehoshua was interrogated, inspected by Pilate and then sent for execution under the province of the High Priest, Ananias, one of the most wicked of the Sadducee families in first century Jerusalem.

While the Prince of David, Yehoshua Ha David was being investigated and interrogated, it was done in the Hall of the Sanhedrin housed in the Chamber of Hewn Stones in the Temple on the left side of the Altar of Burnt Offering. (Shabbat 15a and Rosh haShanah 31a.b)

During the Passover season the High Priest Caiphas as President of the Sanhedrin and Annas, the Sagan, his deputy left their homes probably in the aristocratic section of the southwest hill of Jerusalem and went to live for seven days in their official ‘house’ in the temple compound. (Middoth 5:4; Encyclopedia Judaica iii.991) The residence of the High Priest in the temple, was called the “House of Stone” (Parah 3:1)

This seven-day residency included every weekly Shabbats, the new moons, the annual spring and fall festivals, especially the Day of Atonement and for seven days prior to offering the Red Heifer. It was here in their temple residences that the Sadducees walked across to the Chamber of Hewn Stones to interrogate and judge Yehoshua the Prince.

Think carefully the meaning of this whole scenario. In as much as the trial of Yehoshua, called “The Nazarene”, occurs just before a High Shabbat (Sabbath) during the Passover week, Yehoshua was judged by the High Priest, his deputy and the chief priests and then condemned by the Sanhedrin, all within the Temple proper itself.

The judgment for Yehoshua’s death was to be in His Own Father’s House, in the presence of HaShem, His Father, who was symbolically dwelling on His Throne in His dwelling in the Holy of Holiest.

Since the Prince of David, Yehoshua was now accursed as a condemned man, he had to be taken away from the presence of HaShem out the eastern gate. He followed the route of Adam to the east and away from the Garden of Eden and the presence of G-d.

Yehoshua Ha David, the Messiah of His Generation as the Red Heifer

The same pattern of fulfillment is seen in the relationship between Yehoshua and the Red Heifer. The Red Heifer was examined and inspected on the temple proper to determine if she was a perfect or blemishless a heifer with no more than three white or black hairs on her body. So also, Prince Yehoshua was examined and interrogated by the High Priest, then the whole Sanhedrin and then Pilate, who could find ‘no fault in Him’.

The Red Heifer was then led out the eastern gate of the temple, so also Y’shua was led away from the temple out the eastern gate, also away from the presence of His Father. As an accused man of sin, Prince Yehoshua followed the route of Adam and Eve as they were driven from the Garden of Eden and away from the presence of G-d because of their sin of disobedience.

The Red Heifer was led across the Kidron Valley, walking over the Bridge of the Red Heifer to the summit of the Mount of Olives, and up to the summit of the mount where she was slaughtered, so also Yehoshua the Prince of David was led by the same route to the place where He is crucified.

Notice again how the author of Hebrews depicts this scene.

Hebrews 13:12-13 - “Therefore Yehoshua also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore, let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.”

Carefully look at this text. To sanctify us with his death, Yehoshua, guided by his heavenly “Father”, meticulously fulfilled every detail of the ritual of the red heifer in which his crucifixion occurred outside the gate (walls of the city of Jerusalem) and outside the camp.

In order that his death would not defile the temple itself, the location was beyond the limits of 1000 yards (2000 cubits) outside the city walls. The closest location beyond the limits of 1000 yards was near the summit on the southern hill of Mount of Olives.

The last part of the verse above, one must question, where this is a symbolic or literal interpretation. If symbolic, then the interpretation “bearing the stigma that he bore”, would suggest that we would give up the approval of the world and accept the reproach of Yehoshua, the Prince of David. And as such, going ‘outside the camp’, would suggest that we would be willing to be excluded from religious and social acceptance.

Yet is there a literal interpretation? Would not the Hebrew author suggest that the reader retrace the footsteps of Jesus. For Yehoshua to use His own blood for the saving grace and sanctification that it offers to all believers, He would have to suffer and be executed outside the gates and walls of the city, as preordained since the days of Moshe. Not only that, the author urges the readers to mentally go watch the crucifixion outside the camp on the Mount of Olives, and watch Him bear ‘His reproach’, or the cross beam of his “execution upon a tree”.

The Ashes of the Red Heifer and the Restoration of the Sanctuary/Temple

The Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount

So, the puzzle continues. According to rabbinic opinion, future temple construction cannot begin unless the ashes of the red heifers that have been mixed since the days of Moses also have been found. Though this fact is overlooked by many evangelical Christians who in their beliefs of dispensationalism, await the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem as a sign of the End of Times, the soon to be abomination of desolation and the imminent coming of Yehoshua is not overlooked by the ultra-orthodox Jews.

King David’s Sepulcher (underground) in reference to the Temple of Herod in Jerusalem

For three decades, a former Baptist minister, now amateur archeologist, Vendyl Jones, now deceased has been searching for the K’lal, which according to the Copper Scroll is the urn or vessel that contains the ashes of the red heifer that was used in the Mishkhan or Wilderness Sanctuary and in Solomon’s Temple. These ashes were from the first heifer that was slaughter by Eliezar in the days of Moses.

According to Jones, in order for the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple) to be restored, this vessel of ashes from the first Temple ashes of the red heifer must be found. This is not just a fantasy of a lone Texas archeologist, but was shared by the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, whom some Jews believe also to be a messiah, plus the rabbinic giants of Adin Even Israel Steinsaltz and Reuven Grodner, formerly from the Hebrew University.

Even Menachem Burstin, who is a known botanist of the Middle East flora and expert on Biblical chemistry has also stated that only the ashes of the red heifer remain of all the ingredients needed to prepare for the water of purification.

As we shall soon see, this unique metal document, the Copper Scroll according to the translation from the Hebrew linguists of the Vendyl Jones Research Institute, state that “under the spices, is the purification.” According to the meaning of this translation, buried beneath the site where the Temple Incense called the Pitum haQetoret was discovered near the ‘hidden north entrance’ at the Cave of the Column is the site where the ashes of the Red Heifer are buried.

But what is the importance about the furor on the Temple Mount? In 1967, just a month after the Jews on the six-day war and took over possession of the Temple Mount, the custody of the mount was given to the Moslem Grand Mufti of Jerusalem by the Jewish government as a statement of peace.

To a secular Jewish perspective, this was not particularly significant as the Jewish people did not have access to walk on the mount for fear that they would be treading over the ground where the Most Holy Place of the Temple stood with the Ark of the Covenant.

This ground was sacred and holy and as such the Temple Mount was useless to the secular Jew. With the Mosque of Omer on the mount since 1600’s, the Moslem people now accept this site to be their own possession. At this site where they believe a vision in the Koran that Mohammed was miraculously transported from Mecca to Jerusalem, gives them justification that outside of a holy jihad, no non-Muslim religion or nation will ever take over control of the third recognized holy spot in the Moslem religion.

Yet not only the Muslim faith, but the Jesuits of the Roman Catholic Church have been eying the control of the Temple Mount a symbol of their being the legitimate representative of the World Christian faith and what they feel is their rightful responsibility as the custodian of the Mount, to make it a place where the faithful of all religions can come to worship.

This surreal idealism, to many prophetic scholars, has the germ of reality, for what place could best represent the idealism of a One World Order with a One-World Faith, then to have the Catholics broker this mount as Mount of worship for the three largest religions in the world.

Yet Jewish tradition records that the birth of a pure red heifer has not occurred since the destruction of Herod’s Temple in 70 CE by the forces of the Roman emperor Titus.

To the tzaddiks of Israel, if such a calf were truly to grow up and remain unblemished, it would herald the beginning of the Messianic era with the rebuilding of the Holy Temple as envisioned by the prophet Ezekiel.

According to the rabbinic sages, the redemption of Israel will be like the morning dawn, "In the beginning, it progresses very slowly...but as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter."

Yet not all orthodox or biblical scholars share the idea that the Temple Mount is the site where the Temple of Solomon once stood. There is a growing body of Christian and Jewish scholars that believe that Solomon’s Temple actually stood on a site south of the present Temple Mount, over the area of the Gihon Springs and the recently excavated tunnel staircases ascending from mikvaot baths that possibly were used by the High Priest and the temple Levites.

The Temple Mount of King Herod in the 1^st century CE

This is Dr. Martin’s representation of the Temple on the left, and Fortress Antonia on the right. The Temple Mount as seen with its entrances on the east. Note the position of a double tiered arched bridge (described in the next chapter) which led from the Temple environs (the “Inward Sanctuary”) with the Miphkad Altar which was the Altar of Red Heifer (the “Outward Sanctuary”) on the Mount of Olives. DWS

The archeological data accumulated by the late Ernest L Martin and published in his book,The Temples that Jerusalem Forgot, was that the Temple of Solomon and Zerubbabel were located over the Ophel Mound near and above the Gihon Springs. Also, the present Haram esh-Sharif, the present Temple Mount was actually the Fort of Antonia, where the judgment hall of Pilate was located.

This site would also be in harmony with the futuristic message of Jesus to his disciples just before his crucifixion when he and his disciples were overlooking the temple complex,

“Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.” (Matt. 24:2)

The Tenth Red Heifer

Also, according to Josephus, just before the final days of Jerusalem, when the forces of Vespasian and Titus were heading toward Jerusalem, the high priest prepared a tenth red heifer for slaughter in hopes of re-purifying the temple and save the city when the heifer gave birth to a lamb in the temple premises.

The very animal that represented a ‘sin offering’ for the congregation of Israel, now defied the laws of genetics and gave birth to a lamb. The heifer had been defiled and the temple was destroyed.

Was the Lord of hosts trying to tell the Jewish temple leadership that He had already sent His own son, who became the symbolic Passover Pesach Lamb and also had fulfilled all the requirements of the Red Heifer?

Obviously, the message was not accepted by the High Priest Caiphas and the wicked Sadducean leadership in Jerusalem, who had seven years earlier, stoned the brother of Yehoshua, James the Just, who served as the leader of the Jerusalem Nazorean Party ruling as the High Priest of Hebrew Nazarene Ecclesia.

Due to the righteousness that was performing the duties of the High Priest during the day of Yom Kippur, it appears that someday, a Red Heifer will be found, if not already and the ashes of the prior Red Heifer will be discovered.

Will this lead to an apocalyptic confrontation between the Jews and the Moslems? The Netanyahu government with its new mandate from the orthodox Jewish community could re-assume possession and control of the Temple Mount igniting the spark that could erupt into the future Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel.

As one Bible Searcher commented; “What if the new 10^th Red Heifer was prepared for slaughter to obtain the ashes to purify the site for a Sanctuary or New Temple; yet this time she foaled a “lion cub”?

Would the Orthodox Jewish rabbanim accept that the Messiah ben David, the Lion of Judah, was also the Messiah ben Joseph, who gave Himself as the Pesach Lamb in the 1^st century CE? This drama still has a few pages left to unfold.

Introduction

The fate of the Ark of the Covenant has been a burning question pondering Bible scholars, theologians, biblical historians and archeologists since the exile of the Jewish people to Babylon in 586 BCE.

The most prominent of these is Vendyl Jones and his search for the Qalal and the Sanctuary of the Congregation with its valued treasures including the Ark of the Covenant with its two golden cherubim.

The most well- known account is found in the Maccabean story about the Prophet Jeremiah, who hid the contents of the Wilderness Tabernacle (Mishkhan);

The Ark of the Covenant,
The Qalal which held the ashes of the red heifer in the Valley of Achor near the tomb of Moses (Moshe) not far from Mount Nebo.

These were hidden because fate of the Temple of Solomon (Beit HaMikdash) was being threatened by the forces of Nebuchadnezzar, which many felt was built on the Temple Mount (Haram As-Sharif) in present-day Old Jerusalem.

Over a century ago, Rabbi Rachnael Steinberg and Rabbi Mendel Tropper rediscovered the writings called the Emeq HaMelekh (Valley of the Kings) written by Rabbi Naftali Hertz in which several mishnahs were recorded by five temple guardians who hid the treasures of Solomon’s temple.

Later, it was Solomon Schechter who discovered the ancient Talmud Tosefta, called the Massakhet Keilim in an ancient Genizah at the Old Cairo Ben Ezra Synagogue.

Included in this discovery was an ancient scroll called the Temple Scroll that was purchased by Yigael Yadin. It was found in a cave by Mohammed Dieb near the Essene community of Qumran by the Dead Sea.

Also discovered was:

The Copper Scroll,
The Luach Nehoshet,
Plus, two large engraved marble tablets found at Mount Carmel, that depicted the hiding of a vast hoard of temple furnishings and artifacts about ten years before the first invasion of Nebuchadnezzar.

The Jewish Underground Commandos from the Temple of Solomon were sent on a rescue mission to hide all the temple furniture, the altars and the golden curtains that were a part of the priestly ministry in the Tabernacle of the Dwelling.

These five-priestly commandos are today legendary in their stealth and prowess to accomplish the mandate to safeguard the Treasures of King Solomon’s Temple. Their names were:

Shimur HaLevi,
Chaggai (Haggai) the prophet,
The Prophet Zechariah son of Iddo,
Zedekiah (Zidkiyah)
Hezekiah (Hizkiyah) plus
Ezra the scribe and
Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe of Jeremiah.
The leader of this group, Shimur HaLevi, was one of the priests who killed two of
the nine red heifers for the Ashes to purify the temple.

Jeremiah and the Maccabean account of hiding the Tabernacle and the Ark as Viewed from Mount Nebo

As recorded in 11 Maccabees chapter 2:

1 – “It is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet commanded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it hath been signified:

2 – “And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.

3 – “And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law would not depart from their hearts.

4 - “It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of G-d, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of G-d.

5 – “And when Jeremy came thither, he found a hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.

6 – “And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it.

7 – “Which, when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that G-d gathers His people again together, and receive them unto mercy.

8 – “Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon

Jeremiah and the Maccabean account of hiding the Tabernacle and the Ark as Viewed from Mount Nebo

Let us analyze this text briefly. It is one position of BibleSearchers to analyze any ancient document with the same respect we would give to modern historical documents. As a historian, one should look carefully at the historical context, the purpose and goal of the author and with an acceptance that the author had possible access of documents more contemporaneous with his era than has survived the ravages of time.

Here the prophet Jeremiah speaks of taking the wilderness tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant and the Altar of Incense and placing it in a hollow cave near Mount Nebo, the mount where Moses had his last vista of the Promised Land and visions of the future of God’s people.

Deuteronomy 34:1-3 - “And Moses went up from the plains of Moav to the peak (Pisgah) of Mount Nebo, facing Jericho, and G-d showed him all the land of Gil’ad, to Dan, and all of the Naftali, and the land of Efrayim and Manashe, and all the land of Yehudah, as far as the sea, and the Negev, and the plain; the Valley of Jericho, city of palms, as far as Zo’ar”.

Mount Nebo in the land of Moab, present day Jordan, has been identified with Jebel Nebah on the eastern shore and the northern end of the Dead Sea, five miles southwest of Heshbon.

The Memorial Site of the Death of the Moshe on Mount Nebo

At about 2,643 feet in altitude and with its position overlooking the Jordan River, Nabo commands a view of all of western Palestine. Below are the plains of Moab where Balaam cast his curse upon the tents of Israel spread out before him.

According to II Maccabees, the ‘cave dwelling’ was in the vicinity, but not necessarily on the peak of Mount Nebo, which also is an assumption that it is the place where Moses “went up and beheld God’s inheritance.”

Near this Mount and with clear visibility of the church that resides on the peak of Mount Nebo is the Cave of the Column, where the main archeological digs have been performed by Vendyl Jones, Texan archeologist who earned international fame as being the archetype of the Indiana Jones movie, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. It was his Institute that was credited in discovering:

The Holy Anointing Oil and the
Holy Incense that was used on the Altar of Incense in the Most Holy Place of the Temple.

Two places in the Maccabean passage it speaks of other documents, such as “found in the records” and “contained in the same writings”. What were these documents and what records were contained in them? This question has taunted the minds of scholars and students of Hebrew history for millenniums.

It was a memorable year, 1947, when the modern State of Israel became the national homeland of the Jewish people. That same year, 1947, an Arab Bedouin with a well-placed rock in a cave opening in an area called Qumran, on the northeastern shore of the Dead Sea, heard the shattering of a crock of pottery and the religious and secular world ricocheted with a global reverberation as the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered.

As quoted by the Bedouin cave hunter, Mohammed Dieb,

The Rolled Copper Scroll

"I do not know how the story got started that I was throwing rocks at my goats. My goats were grazing down there in the flat. I was sitting right up there on that ledge.

I was bored and started throwing rocks against some big stones to see if I could break them. One rock glanced off of a stone and went into a small opening and I heard a strange thud and a cracking sound.

I came down and slid into the opening. The whole cave was full of jars. There were forty jars, but they were all empty except the ones here in the niche on the right side. We found seven scrolls. One of them was the scroll that Yadkin got from Kendo." Mohammed Dieb

Five years later, in 1952, in cave 3 (Qvj3) at Qumran, a new archeological find was unearthed by the workers under the dig supervision of Professor Gerald Harding, a seven-foot copper Scroll was discovered. Dubbed the “Copper Scroll”, it was kept in secret and the contents of this discovery were withheld from the public for four years.

In this Copper Scroll, the ancient name of Qumran, Ir-Tzadok B’Succaca was recorded. Ancient maps of the Dead Sea area depict the modern Wadi Qumran or the Canyon of Qumran rather as the Wadi Succaca.

The Luach Nehoshet (Copper Scroll)

The Copper Scroll in the Museum in Jordan

The Adam Smith Bible Dictionary in the early 20^th century identified Wadi Qumran as Wadi Succacah. The Yishiyim (Essenes) would have called their community by the ancient Aramaic name of Ir-Tzadok B’Succaca rather than the modern Arabic name of Qumran, meaning, ‘Two Moons”.

The Copper Scroll was pressed from the purest of copper. From the back of the scroll and engraved in reverse script, the Hebrew letters when raised from the front and imprinted on a baked clay imprinted the script in legible Hebrew like the embossing of a printer’s ink pad on a sheet of paper. This scroll was taken to Manchester, England, the baked clay dissolved and the copper rolls cut to expose the archaic Hebrew writing on the corroded copper sheets.

Most of the text in the Copper Scroll read like the inventory of a treasure with enigmatic descriptions of where they were buried including listings of geographical, topographical and geological features to help the one knowledgeable in the language and vocabulary of the rabbinic literature to find the treasures outlined in the scroll.

When the transcription was first released with wide international publicity, it was also met with intense scholarly skepticism, many calling it a ‘hoax’, a ‘forgery’, ‘Jewish myth’, ‘works of a madman’.

The Caves of the Dead Sea Scrolls in Qumran, Israel

Most scholars, even to this day, feel that the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Copper Scroll are a repository of the Herodian temple library in Jerusalem and the contents of the Temple of the Lord that were secreted away prior to the destruction and ravaging by the Roman forces under Titus in 68-70 C.E.

Yet the contents of the Copper Scroll depict a different picture. Here among the passages of the Copper Scroll was an inventory of the Holy Treasures that appeared to have been hidden by the Prophet Jeremiah and the Temple Guardians prior to the destruction of Solomon’s Temple by the Babylonians about 422 BCE according to Hebrew calendar time (538 BCE on the Gregorian calendar).

Were the locations of these treasures never revealed and recovered for the services of Zerubbabel’s Temple by the Temple Guardians? If so, are they there today? Among the contents of the Copper Scroll was this passage.

“In the desolations of the Valley of Achor, under the hill that must be climbed, hidden under the east side, forty stones deep, is a silver chest, and with it, the vestments of the High Priest, all the gold and silver with the Great Tabernacle (the “Mishkhan”) and all its Treasures.”

The Copper Scroll describes a hidden cave called the “Cave of the Column by the River of the Dome” and with these descriptions were given internal and external landmarks, layering levels and other descriptions that not only needed the proper interpretive codes to reveal their contents, but also a good knowledge of the history and rabbinic language used in that era.

The Discovery of the Emeq HaMelekh (“Valley of the Kings”)

Was this Copper Scroll the “record” and the “same writing” as referenced in the II Maccabean passage?

Jewish scholars still felt that there were more records to be found. The hunt continued, but it was not until 1992 when 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, that had been written by Rabbi Naftali Hertz Ben Ya’acov Elchanon in the year 1648 in Amsterdam.

According to rabbinic history, “Rav Hertz” was known as a prominent and holy Rabbi who excelled in the knowledge of the written and the oral Torah. His lineage of rabbinic knowledge came from the famed Rabbi Ari Ben Luria, leader of the rabbinic mystical sages which included the great Torah sage, Rabbi Yosef Cairo, author of the Shulchan Aruch.

According to the records, Rabbi Naftali Hertz cited as his source the Massakhet Keilim, a Tosefta (addition) to the Talmud, which is not found in any modern Talmud today.

According to the discoverer of the Emeq HaMelekh, Rabbi Steinberg, in the Talmud Huriot 12A, it describes the prophet Jeremiah, realizing that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple was imminent, organized a heroic rescue operation.

He commanded the King of Judah, King Josiah, who had recently repaired the Temple of Solomon and found the ancient writings of the Torah hidden in the Temple;

To hide the Ark of the Covenant,
The bottle of Anointing Oil,
Aaron’s Staff and the
‘Chest’ sent by the Pelishtim (Philistines) to Israel as “a gift to the God of Israel”.

Rabbi Tropper, also citing also the Babylonian Talmud in Tractate Yoma 72 A, stated that the Mishkhan (Wilderness Sanctuary) and all its contents were hidden away but will one day be found.

Yes, here the Mishkhan, or Wilderness Temple, which was built by Bezaleel in the Negev Desert, under the supervision of Moses and the blueprint given to him by the L-rd of hosts on Mount Sinai, was kept in a sacred repository in a grotto under the Temple of Solomon and was still preserved in the days of Jeremiah and King Josiah.

In an article written by Rabbi Tropper, he writes the following:

"This house of worship ("Mishkhan") contained

(1) - The altar for the daily and seasonal sacrifices,

(2) - The Elaborate Menorah (candelabra) of solid gold,

(3) - The Qalal (copper urn) containing the Ashes of the Red Heifer, and;

(4) – The numerous other vessels utilized for the detailed services of the Kohanim (priests).

Within the Mishkhan's inner chamber, the Holy of Holies could be found:

(5) The magnificent Ark of the Covenant containing among other sacred items,

(6) The Tablets of the Ten Commandments brought down by Moses at Sinai. Because of these sacred contents and the level of holiness attained by the Prophet Moses, only the Mishkhan reached a pure enough state to warrant that the Shechina (Divine Presence of G-d) come to rest within it for all eternity.

When the First Temple was built in Jerusalem, the Ark of the Covenant was placed inside while the rest of the Mishkhan was buried beneath in a secret vault."

The story does not end. Later in the 1990’s, at Cambridge University was discovered work done by a Solomon Schechter in 1896, who had bought about 100,000 pages that had been discovered in a Genizah of the ancient and revered Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, Egypt. ccording to the Torah, any document contained the name of the Holy One could not be destroyed, so when it was damaged or too old to be used, it was put in a document depository called a Genizah. The documents within the caves of Qumran were also suggested as being a Genizah depository for the Essenes or Herod’s Temple in Jerusalem.

The reason being that Qumran was suggested as being a Genizah is that every book in the Torah, Writings and the Prophets, plus countless other intertestament writings and commentaries were represented in the Qumran library except the Book of Esther, the only book written by or about the Jews that does not give the name of G-d.

Within the scrolls found in the Ben Ezra Synagogue’s Genizah in Cairo, Egypt was found a copy of the missing Tosefta, listed under the section of Keilim (‘Vessels’) and noted to be the same source writings that Rabbi Hertz was citing in his 1648 Mishnayots. The only difference, these source writings were believed to be from the 8^th and 9^th century, 800 years earlier.

Rabbi Naftali (Ben Elchanan) Hertz, called these records Mishnayots and were included in the introduction of his text. The Mishnah as the rabbinic written documentation of the oral traditions passed down by the Levites from the time of Moses is the first section of the Talmud, which also includes ‘the summary’, called the Gemara.

Let us now read these Mishnayots, now accepted as ‘the records of Jeremy’ the prophet; called the Emeq Ha Melekh

English translation by the Vendyl Jones Research Institute

[Literally: Valley of the King]
By Rabbi Naftali Ben Ya'acov Elchanon
Jewish Year 5408 (1648 C.E.)

“These Mishnayot ["Records"] were written by five righteous men. They are:

Shimur the Levite,
Hizkiyah,
Zidkiyah the Prophet,
Chaggai the Prophet and Zechariah, son of Ido the Prophet.

They concealed the vessels of the Temple and the wealth of the treasures that were in Jerusalem which will not be discovered until the day of the coming of Moschiach, son of David, speedily in our times, Amen, and so it will be.”

Let us quickly compose ourselves quickly with the implication of the introduction to these Mishnahs. Four of the names are easily recognizable; Hezekiah (Hizkiyah), Zedekiah (Zidkiyah), Haggai (Chaggai the prophet) and Zechariah the Prophet, son of Berachiah (Mishanah 2), son of Ido.

Other names found within these Mishnahs include: Shimur HaLevi (the Levite), Ezra the Cohen (priest) the scribe, Hilkiyah the Scribe (Mishnah 7), Beruch ben (son of) Neriah with Zidkiyah (Mishnah 9 and 10), and Hiluk, the son of Shimur HaLevi (Mishnah 12).

Shimur Ha Levi’s identity is still unknown in the Hebrew Scriptures, but the name, Shimur meaning ‘watchman” attested on an ancient seal impression, appears to be closely identified with the name Shimur, great, great-grandson of Aaron, from the house of Merari. (1 Chron. 6:46)

The Merarites were the family that was in charge of the singing in the House of the Lord by King David, after the Ark was moved to Jerusalem. (1 Chron. 6:32).

Yet this Shimur HaLevi was soon recognized as the leader of a quintet of Jewish Revolutionaries: Shimur the Levite, Hizkiyah, Zidkiyah, Chaggai the Prophet and Zechariah son of Ido the Prophet.

They were intent on fulfilling the commands of the L-rd given to Jeremiah the Prophet to hide and secrete the treasures of the Wilderness Tabernacle and a large part of the treasures of Solomon’s Temple away before the military forces of Nebuchadnezzar could take custody of them to Babylon.

Whereas the Essenes were the custodians of the documents of Qumran in the 2^nd century BCE to the 1^st century CE near the Dead Sea, these documents, were authored or co-authored by Shimur HaLevi;

One was writing on an Ibex Skin,
One on a seven-foot Copper Sheet baked in porcelain clay,
One, a Silver Scroll, yet to be discovered and the;
Latter writings engraved on two white marble tablets, which included the names and date of the Solomon’s temple commando, which accepted documents antedate the Essene community at the time of the Temple of Herod era in the 1^st century BC to CE by five centuries. They stand as a class of writing by themselves.

The Ibex Skin Scroll (Temple Scroll) credited as coauthored by Shimur HaLevi

The Temple Scroll, called the Ibex Skin Scroll was found at Qumran in 1950 in Cave 11, by the same Bedouin, Mohammed Dieb, who found the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 less than 25 meters away.

This scroll was also documented as being written by Shimur HaLevi in the Year 431 BCE.

An extensive document, which multi-volumes have been written by the Dead Sea Scroll scholars, it was initially purchased by Yigael Yadin for the Nation of Israel at the end of the 1967 Six Day War and published in 1983.

Professor Yadin was fascinated by the wording of the author, who wrote the script in the First Person, suggested by some authorities that it was a dictated script given by the Lord of hosts to Moses on Mount Sinai.

In the Ibex Skin “Temple Scroll” Scroll, was recorded a detailed account of how to re-institute the Temple services and the rituals. The descriptions of these furnishings described are felt by many scholars to be a description on how to put these buried treasures to use in the service of the G-d of Jacob in a future third temple.

Included in the Temple Scroll are accounts of the ancient Hebrew festivals which were celebrated by the Essenes, but also instructions of the animal sacrifices that were not celebrated by the Essenes. As such, this document is not accepted by some scholars as a true Essene document, but a treasured document which was a part of their extensive library.

The Israel Museum and the Ancient Biblical Scrolls

Did the Essenes totally reject animal sacrifices? Yes and No! They rejected the sacrifices of the priests in Herod’s Temple as being from a false and corrupt High Priest not of the lineage of Zadok, the High Priest of King David. No, they may not have rejected animal sacrifices as long as the pure and authorized lineage of priests were in charge of the temple services, but the modern Order of the Nazorean Essenes who trace their spiritual heritage to the Essenes of Qumran claim that in the Panarion written by Epiphanius;

"The Nasaraeans - they were Jews by nationality . . . They acknowledged Moses and believed that he had received laws - not this law, however, but some other. And so, they were Jews who kept all the Jewish observances, but they would not offer sacrifice or eat meat. They considered it unlawful to eat meat or make sacrifices with it. They claim that these Books are fictions, and that none of these customs were instituted by the fathers. . . (Panarion 1:18)

Shimur HaLevi, along with being credited as a co-author of the Copper Scroll from Qumran and author of the Ibex Skin “Temple” Scroll, a third document attributed to Shimur HaLevi that was discovered in the archeological digs of Israel are two immense Marble Tablets. Its whereabouts were unknown so began hunt and eventual discovery of these two large Marble Slabs, originally on Mount Carmel of the Prophet Elijah fame.

The Two Marble Tablets

Soon the archeological hunt continued to the basement of a museum in Beirut, Lebanon, when two large Marble Tablets, found initially at Mount Carmel, were now discovered in the summer of 1952 museum renovations. (Implications of the discovery were not recognized until years later).

The ancient Hebrew script was written in bas relief, just like the Copper Scroll, in that the letters were protruding out of the marble instead being engraved within the marble. As Rabbi Avraham Sutton noted, the writings carved on the two Marble Tables were identical to the writing on the Emeq HaMelekh (Valley of the Kings) and the missing text of the 9^th century document, Massakhet Keilim, found in the Tosephta Mishnayot III under the section of Kilim in the Genizah of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, except for the opening statement,”

“These are the words of Shimur HaLevi, the servant of HaShem. In the year 3331 of Adam”.

Yet this same Shimon HaLevi still seems to warrant a distinction of why he is not recorded in scripture. We have one more clue; we shall soon see in the Mishnah 5 in the Tractate Parah, it lists the number of red heifers that were sacrificed since the time of Moses.

After noting that one of the red heifers was burned by Ezra the Levite, then it records that and additional two red heifers were burned by Shimon Ha Tzaddik. Shimon the Levite had now become Shimon the Righteous One or Zaddik.

Zedekiah (Zidkiyah) is a name meaning ‘Yahweh is righteousness’. This sounds familiar, as we identify it with the name of the last king of Judah, King Zedekiah, who reigned from 597-586 BCE.

His original name was Mattaniah, but was changed to Zedekiah by King Nebuchadnezzar, when he appointed him king instead of his nephew, Jehoiachin (2 Ki 24:17; 1 Chr 3:15).

He was a morally weak and vacillating king, who at times appeared to side with the prophet Jeremiah, who was his grand-father, who also was pro-Babylonian.

He even went to visit Babylon in the 4^th regnal year, in what some historians suggest was for the great festival of Nebuchadnezzar in which he erected his golden statue in the Plain of Dur as recorded in Daniel 3; the era of Daniel and the three worthies; Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who were thrown in the fiery furnace during that event.

King Zedekiah later upon returning to Jerusalem succumbed to the pressure of the anti-Babylonians and the pro-Egyptians and rebelled against Babylon.

This resulted in the 3^rd capture in 20 years and final destruction of Jerusalem after a long and appalling siege between 10^th day of the 10^th month in the 9^th regnal year (January 15, 588 BCE) and the 9^th day of the 4^th month in the 11^th regnal year or Nebuchadnezzar’s 19^th year (July 19, 586 BCE.).

His sons were killed in front of him and then his eyes were removed from their sockets and he was imprisoned in Babylon the rest of his life. (2 Ki 25:1-7; Jer 39:1-7; 52:1-11)

There was also another Zidkiyah who was a prominent leader noted in the assembly brought together by Nehemiah, the governor of Judah, who with Ezra the Cohen and scribe set out a series of religious reforms (Nehemiah 8) which culminated in the reading of the Torah and the teachings contained within it.

Governor Nehemiah then convened a great assembly to sign a covenant of reform. This included the prominent civil leaders, the cohenim (priests) and Levites and all the people of Jerusalem.

Zidkiyah was the first of the civil and political leaders to set his seal to Nehemiah’s covenant of reform. As such he was designated as the 1^st representative of the people after the governor, Nehemiah. (Neh 10:1) Was this the Zidkiyah of the Emeq HaMelekh?

Chaggai (Haggai the Prophet), “One born on a Feast Day.”

Haggai (Chaggai) the prophet, meaning ‘one born on a feast day’, became one of the most potent prophetic voices to the newly return exiles from Babylon to Judea. In his five messages recorded in the Book of Haggai, he encouraged the people that they were in active cooperation with the Lord of hosts and that their faithful service would be richly rewarded by their G-d.

With the resounding response to his first message on August 29, 520 BCE, the clarion call went out to rebuild the House of the Lord which lay in ruins (Haggai 1: 1-12)

It appears that he was a senior citizen in Judea, a revered grandfather of the returned exiled Jews.

What they may not have known, Haggai was one of the guardians of the treasures in the Old Temple of Solomon (Haggai 2:3) when he challenged his contemporaries, “Is there anyone among you who saw this house in its former glory? You can almost hear him say the obvious, “I did”.

As we shall soon see, he was one of the guardians of the Temple Treasures, a memory that was sealed within his memory to his death. While the people mourned that the new temple did not have the glory of Solomon’s (Sholomo’s) temple, the whereabouts of the treasures that could have increased the glory of this Temple was known, but the Lord of hosts would not allow it to be revealed until a future and more glorious temple in the future of history of the Jews. Why did he not reveal were the hiding places for these hidden treasures to the leadership of Judea so they would eventually be restored into the house of the Lord in Jerusalem?

Zechariah, son of Iddo, “Jehovah remembers at the Appointed Time”

Zechariah, the Prophet, the son of Iddo’s life has been accounted for in the Oracles of Zechariah, a commentary on the Book of Zechariah. What we now know as the “rest of the story”, Zechariah was not only a contemporary of the prophet Haggai, the renown civil leader Zidkiyah, Hezekiah, and Shimur, the Levite, a possible member of the temple chorus were all accomplices in the secret and delicate espionage of hiding the treasures of the Temple of Solomon not only in the land of Judea but also in the city of Babylon and also near the city of Baghdad.

Wait a minute, the capital of Iraq of Saddam Hussein was the purported site of the repository of hidden treasures from the era of Solomon’s temple? Yes, this is the implication of this document that has been preserved in the archives of the Jews for centuries.

Not only that, it was the intent of the five Guardians that the wealth of these treasures would remain concealed until ‘the day of the coming of Maschiach, son of David. It was their hope that the coming of the Maschiach ben David would have been ‘speedily in our times’, but as we now know, they carried their secret to their grave except for the legacy recorded on these Mishnayots, there was another record.

This team working in concert with each other, they inscribed the inventory of these ‘holy vessels and the vessels of the Temple that were in Jerusalem’ on a “Luach Nehoshet” or a Copper plate or sheet, hoping it would be preserved until the end of times and prior to the coming of the Messiah (Maschiach).

Shimur HaLevi engraved in bas relief on two immense marble tablets the same mishnayots for the sake of preservation of the record.

Gog from the Land of Magog is the Incarnation of Assyrian King Sennacherib

Our Solar System is the Center of the Universal Controversy between and Satan and G-d

The Solar Path of the Twin Binary Sun known as Planet X, Nibiru, or Nemesis makes its last Voyage before Metatron as King Messiah comes to Rein

The Final Battle on Planet Earth, the GogUMagog War will Open the Gates of Heaven revealing the Battle between the Dark Forces of Satan and the Light Forces of G-d

As King Sennacherib rode in towards the Southern Kingdom of Judah from the “north”, he went with the sole purpose to take military control of the land to the south in the kingdom of the Jews. So also at the “end times” the incarnation of King Sennacherib will also descend upon Israel from the north. This military leader is called “Gog, from the Land of Magog”

Gog will now set his sights not towards the turmoil of the Middle East to the East but, this time will come as an unwilling international leader, impelled by the G-d of Israel `who will descend upon the Land of Israel.

As stated by the prophets, the Almighty One of Israel will “put a hook into Gog’s jaws and as an unwilling leader will be forced to take his overwhelming military might and head from the regions to the north of Israel as stated below.”

In the GogUMagog attack against the Nation of Israel, it will come just prior to the rest-oration of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel to the Land of Israel at the “end of days” (Ezekiel 39:21-29), by the Lord of hosts who sent this oracle:

Ezekiel 38:1-9 parts - “Now the word of the L-rd came to me, saying, ‘Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, ….and prophesy against him and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince….

I will turn you around, put hook into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers, and shields, all of them handling swords… "

In the latter years, you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword (Nazi Holocaust) and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel (Shomron and Judea), which had long been desolate (the Nation of Israel was formed in 1948); they were brought out of the nations (prophecy fulfilled), and now all of them dwell safely [the 70-year prophecy (1948 – 2018) of being fulfilled].

You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many people with you…”

The “end times” events as spelled out so vividly by the prophets of old, are not to appease or settle our minds but to wake all of us up to a divine reality. If we are to become participants in the transition zone of the “end times” between the 3^rd and the 4^th dimensional reality than we need to look at life much differently; now!

The Place to the Far North from Jerusalem and the Land of Israel

BibleSearchers Reflections – The prophecy of Ezekiel concerning the End of the Age Gog-Magog War has been one of the most sought out prophecies to understand for within its prophetic sphere it appears to encompass the entire span of the time of trouble, the apocalyptic catastrophes of the prophets, the return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel, and the final coming of the Messiah. We invite you to enjoy the wisdom of the sages of Israel as we broaden our conceptions of those final days in which we are a part of today. As written in the Israeli blog titled; "Dreaming of Moschiach"

Dreaming of Moschiach – “In Tractate Sanhedrin (94, a) the Talmud reveals: “G-d, blessed be He, wished to appoint Hezekiah (zs'l, King of Judah in 562 BCE as the Messiah, and Sennacherib (King of the Assyrian Empire) as Gog and Magog”. The Talmud goes on to explain why this plan did not materialize.

It is clear from the Talmud that Magog is not a specific nation. At the time of Redemption, whenever that may be, a given nation will take on the identity of Magog, regardless of its particular name or local name. So how do we identify Gog and Magog in our day?

The key to this secret was revealed by the great and holy mystic, Rabbi Isaac Luria, zs'l, (Safed, Israel 1534-1572), the most eminent of all kabbalists. His word is the undisputed final word amongst all Jewish sages in every part of the world for almost 500 years. He is said to have studied with the prophet Elijah on a daily basis. He is known as “The Holy Ari of Blessed Memory.”

The Ari revealed the following: The words “GogUMagog” have the numeric value of 70 [3+6+3+6+40+3+6+3]. Seventy is the number of nations mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 10). In Jewish writings, reference is frequently made to the 70 non-Jewish nations of the world.

(The fact that there are close to 200 independent nations today is not relevant, as a group of politically independent countries may be considered one nation. For example, 21 Arab countries are only one nation). This alludes to the fact that Gog from Magog is the head of the super power which dominates the 70 nations of the world.

Known as “Ha’ARI”, meaning “The Lion, and later remembered as ARIZal (The ARI, of Blessed Memory (Zikhrono Livrakha) who was the foremost rabbi and Jewish mystic in the community of Safed in the Galilee region of Ottoman, Syria has thus clearly and unequivocally identified Magog as the super-power of the world. He has uncovered the mystery. Magog is none other than this country of ours, the United States of America, and “Gog” is its president.

The location of the Land of Israel at the Centre of the World is based on another tradition, namely that the creation of the earth began from the Even Hashisiya, the Foundation Stone located in the holiest part of the Temple (Talmud Yoma 54b, Midrash Tanchuma, Pekudei 3).

This is the Stone that is presently under The Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. (According to the Kabbalists the Foundation Stone is not only the center of this planet, but it is the centre of the all reality. See Sefer Yetzira 4:4.

In fact, in the very place where Ezekiel shares his vision about Gog and his armies coming from “the distant north” (Ezekiel 38:6, 39:2), he also places Israel at “the navel,” i.e., the center, of the earth (ibid. 38:12). Thus, the prophet himself gives us the “key” to locate the region he considers “the distant north.” However, the question begs to be asked. Why are we designating either the entire U.S.A., or the State of Alaska as being north of Jerusalem and not west?

The United States North and West of Jerusalem

Here we find another amazing phenomenon. Logic would dictate that in determining the relationship between two areas on a globe, we would set the direction based on the shortest distance. The distance between Jerusalem and northern Alaska (the furthest northern state of America) is practically identical to the distance between Jerusalem and eastern Maine (the furthest eastern state of America). They are both 5,300 miles away! Hence from a physical perspective the U.S. is both north and west of Jerusalem.

However from a metaphysical perspective, America’s role as Magog corresponds to its northern character. (In the Kabbalah, the link between Esau/Edom and the Left/North is extensively developed. In fact, in the Bahir, one of the oldest and most important of all classical kabbalah texts (written in the first century by Rabbi Nechuniah ben HaKana), “North” is identified as the source of all evil (chapter 163 in Rabbi Kaplan’s edition). For this reason, the prophet as well, focuses on the northern connection of Magog.

We find a similar phenomenon regarding ancient Babylon. Babylon was about 500 miles east of Jerusalem, but only about 50 miles north. Clearly, we would consider Babylon east of Jerusalem, not north. Indeed, throughout the Babylonian Talmud, the sages refer to the Land of Israel as “Ma’arava”, the “West.”

Yet when G-d informed Jeremiah about the impending destruction of Israel by the hands of Babylon, the prophet is told (Jeremiah 1:14), “Out of the north the evil shall come forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.” (See Talmud, Bava Basra 25b).

Here too we are to understand this from a metaphysical perspective. Although from a geographic perspective Babylon is essentially east of Jerusalem. From an inner spiritual perspective, it is its northern dimension which is the primary source of its destructive power against Israel.

There is another interesting link between America and the “North”. The Kabbalists reveal that the two world religions, Christianity and Islam, are each linked to opposite directions. Christianity is represented by the “North” or the “Left” when facing East. Islam is connected to the “South” or the Right side. (The explanation of this correlation is beyond the scope of this letter). Incidentally, that is why, the Christians celebrate Sunday which is to the “left” of the Jewish Shabbat. And the Moslems celebrate Friday, which corresponds to the “right” side.

Thus, when the Prophet Daniel reveals that “at the time of the End, the King of the South will engage the Forces of the North” (Daniel 11:40), he is prophesying that America, a predominantly Christian nation will be drawn into military confrontation with Islamic countries (Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Syra etc.)."

Our Patriarch Abraham watched one of the Greatest Catastrophes on Planet Earth consume Sodom and Gomorrah

Part One – Preparing for the Catastrophes at the Time of the End

The Three Angelic Messengers visit Abraham concerning the Destruction of the Vail of Siddim and its affect upon Great Rift Valley

Credit to Toby Cohen’s Abraham Project

Ten generations after the Great Flood of Noah, life then in the days of Abraham was not much different than today. The degradation of human life had become so horrible that humans were but pawns to those who preyed upon them; treating them like animals.

The Abrahamic Cataclysm that engulfed the Dead Sea, created the Gulf of Aquaba as it split open the Red Sea, and created the Great Rift Valley in Africa today

So, three angels of the L-rd made a visit to give Abraham a startling message. Abraham was taken to the ridges looking down over to the verdune Vail of Siddim and there Abraham was informed that the days of Lot and his family in Sodom and Gomorrah were over.

They would have to flee or they would be destroyed in one of the first cataclysms since the Great Flood of Noah. Yet, the destruction at Sodom and Gomorrah was not just a local catastrophe; but a transcontinental catastrophe that tore open a crevasse in the African Continent from the Land of Israel to the Congo Basin.

Sodom and Gomorrah today in the former Vail of Siddim

It not only destroyed all the cities of the Vail, but the crustal breach in the mantle of the earth ripped apart the landscape in the Land of Israel, down across what would later be called the “Dead Sea”, and then created the Gulf of Aquaba, moved onward to the south as it opened the Red Sea, and then would reach all the way down the Indian Oceanic coastline into Southern Africa.

The Triple Junction of the Afar region of Ethiopia with the Nubian African Plate to the west and the Ethiopian Dome and the Somalian Plate to the east.

This mighty quake, heralded by bolides of fire, a firestorm of brimstone and earthquakes of a magnitude unheard of in the days of mankind. Yet, watching the beginnings of this cataclysmic event were; the Patriarch Abraham and three angelic messengers sent from the Throne of G-d in heaven to the forefather of HaShem’s Chosen Peoples; the Jews of the House of Israel and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.

The Great Rift Valley in Africa

The Bolides of Fire were cast down from the north to the south of the land of Israel, the homeland of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Judah. The power of the cascading avalanche of fiery bolides of hail and brimstone, with its mega-earthquakes rent open the Red Sea, where the Children of Israel centuries later would cross over the Red Sea during another cataclysm called “The Great Exodus”.

So here are the statistics that are documented upon the face of the earth.

The Great Rift Valley’s present landscape first began to be modified in the days of the Patriarch Abraham.
The Length of the Great Rift Valley is 6,000 miles long.
The Width of the Great Rift Valley in Africa is 30 to 100 kilometers wide.
The Height of the Great Rift Valley is hundreds of feet below sea level.
The Total Height from Rim to Basin is 6,232 feet.

The Vail of Siddim in Northern Israel today

The land along the Vail was so wicked that HaShem’s presence would soon rip this beautiful and luscious region open, leaving its presence behind with the destructive term; the Dead Sea, a story that would be repeated for generation after generation to their descendants.

To the east of the Mediterranean Sea lay the verdune green valley of great geological significance. At the top of the above picture is where the Patriarch Abraham possibly stood with the three angelic messengers.

From there just a few miles back to the east bolides of fire and brimstone rained down upon the evil generations whose wickedness new no bounds.

The Great Rift Valley in Southern Africa

Isaiah 24:19 – “The earth is violently broken (violent rocking back and forth in its orbital pathway that will produce catastrophic changes to the crust of the earth by Nibiru just as it was done in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah).

The Prophet Isaiah was Correct: The Earth at the End of Days will “Stagger like a Drunkard”

Isaiah the Prophet of Catastrophes

Planet X, and the Catastrophic Apocalypse as the Sun’s Twin Star makes a “Pass-over” of Planet Earth at the End of Days

Isaiah 24:19-20 - “The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression there-of shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall and not rise again.”

In the early years of the existence of Planet Earth’s remolding and reforming, the Creator of the Universe unveiled what were later be called the “Acts of the Creative Power of G-d.” Even before the era of Adam and Eve in the garden called “Gan Eden”, the forces of nature, under the control of the Almighty G-d of Creation, the universal forces were at play with the remodeling and remolding of Planet Earth in preparation for a homeland for humans of His Divine Creation.

The forces of nature came from the celestial angelic powers that were under the guide and command control of heaven at the Throne of the Divine. Each planet we can observe in the heavens today are vortex zones or conduits where the power of the Divine streams through them to the object of His distain and judgment or the recipient of His protection and redemption.

The Middle East was the center of then-known world but the power drama was centered around the city’s post Babylonian and Persian exile fortified city of Jerusalem. It was not until the height of the power of the Kingdom of Judah when the prince descendants of the famed rulers of Jerusalem, King David and Solomon, became a threat to the Assyrian Empire.

This was an imperial state known for its ruthless and merciless cruelty upon the inhabitants of the region. This real-life drama was being portrayed daily around the world by the ruthless power of the Assyrian King Sennacherib.

Isaiah the Prophet, Seer and Counselor of the Kingdom State of Judah

Per the historical insights of the Rabbinic literature, the Prophet Isaiah was a descendant of the royal house of Judah and Tamar. (Sotah 10b). He was the son of Amoz, the brother of King Amaziah of Judah as noted in the Talmud tractate Megillah 15ra.

As such the Prophet Isaiah was the uncle of King Hezekiah and therefore a cousin of King Uzziah; in whose reign the “sun stopped and turned backwards” in days of an earthquake that was documented by the visual testimony displayed on King Uzziah’s sundial.

Isaiah the Prophet, Seer and Counselor of the State

King Hezekiah (729-686 B.C.E.) with all the citizens of Jerusalem were sitting inside the walls of Jerusalem while the huge force of Sennacherib, king of Assyria (705-681 B.C) were assembling outside on the surrounding plains. A vast sea of warriors in full military armor were glistening in the sun, 185,000 in all, was an ominous site to behold.

The Prophet Isaiah had an illustrious career as historian, cosmologist, and prophet, and he also had the ear of the king. It was the Prophet Isaiah with the apt attention and blessing of King Hezekiah that a massive preparation was made to fortify the city of Jerusalem.

As Isaiah sat in the counsel of the King Hezekiah, he waited as Hezekiah was now standing before the Shekinah in the Holy of Holiest, with clothing rent, begging and beseeching the guidance of HaShem as he presented the demands of surrender by the Assyrians to the last remnant of God’s people.

2 Kings 19:19 – “O Lord G-d of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are G-d, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. Now therefore, O Lord our G-d, I pray, save us from his hand, kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord G-d, You alone.”

The Prophet Isaiah, the court counselor and seer was about 65 years old. He had an illustrious career as an historian, cosmologist, and prophet: and he also had the ear of the king.

It was the Prophet Isaiah with the apt attention and blessing of King Hezekiah that a massive preparation was made to fortify the city of Jerusalem. This included drilling a tunnel under the City of David so that the water supply sources would be protected and sustain the Jewish people inside the walls of Jerusalem.

So, a tunnel was carved under Mount Zion, by the order of the King, Hezekiah and the external source of water at the Gihon Spring was directed under the wall of the city and fortified outside against the military forces of Assyria.

This was the last reference to the Ark of the Covenant, the Cherubim and the Shekinah in Hebrew scripture. When Isaiah received the diplomats of the king’s court with the demands of the king of Assyria, Isaiah had already done his homework.

The Prophet Israel was also a ancient chronicler of the ancient catastrophes of old, as he studied avidly the history of G-d’s people. He knew well the history of catastrophic deliverances for the Hebrews. He was assured that even with a remnant, the L-rd of hosts would defend His own. So, he said;

2 Kings 19:5-7, Isaiah 37:6 – “Thus says the L-rd: ‘Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have. Surely, I will send a "spirit" upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.’”

Judaean King Hezekiah and Jerusalem endured a siege led by Assyrian king Sennacherib when his 185,000 warriors were destroyed by a Bolide Fire from the Heavens.

There was at one location that was Jerusalem’s most vulnerable military asset; there was one spring, the Gihon Spring, that provided a continuous flow of water for the Jewish people literally trapped inside a city and whose destiny appeared to be on the pathway of eventual national annihilation.

The Massive Water Tunnel carved under and inside the walls of Jerusalem from the Gihon Springs higher up protecting a water supply for the population of the city of Jerusalem.

As Isaiah sat in the counsel of the King Hezekiah, he waited as Hezekiah was now standing before the Shekinah in the Holy of Holiest, with clothing rent, begging and beseeching for the guidance of HaShem as he presented the demands of surrender by the Assyrians to the last remnant of G-d’s people.

2 Kings 19:19 – “O Lord G-d of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, you are G-d, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth, Now therefore, O Lo-rd our G-d, I pray, save us from his hand, kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the L-rd G-d, You alone.”

King Hezekiah’s Tunnel in Old City Jerusalem

So, a tunnel was carved under Mount Zion, by the order of the King, Hezekiah and the external source of water at the Gihon was directed under the wall of the city and fortified outside against the military forces of Assyria.

This was the last reference to the Ark of the Covenant, the Cherubim and the Shekinah in Hebrew scripture. When Isaiah received the diplomats of the king’s court with the demands of the king of Assyria, Isaiah had already done his homework. He was also a Searcher, as he studied avidly the history of G-d’s people. He knew well the history of catastrophic deliverances for the Hebrews. He was assured that even with a remnant, the L-rd of hosts would defend His own. So, he said,

2 Kings 19:5-7, Isaiah 37:6 – “Thus says the L-rd: ‘Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have. Surely, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.’”

An Electrical Bolt shoots down upon the Middle East like a “blast” (bolide of fire) outside the walls of Jerusalem while King Sennacherib’s 185,000-man Assyrian Army were destroyed

This translation (NKJV), though technically is correct in its translation, “Surely I will send a “spirit” upon him”, may have considerably missed the literal impact of a literal historical catastrophic event.

The most literal word for “spirit” should be a “Blast” as in the Hebrew, the word translated is ruwach or ruach (Strong’s 7307) means a wind resembling a violent exhalation, a tempest, an angry breath and by extension a region of the sky with a giant stellar blast from the heavens

Electrical Bolide or Flue or “Blast” of Immense Stellar Energy

What a difference this meaning takes! G-d did not send his ‘Divine Spirit’ as some would consider his Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh. As Sennacherib had ‘utterly destroyed’ the lands in this scorch earth massacre, so also the L-rd of hosts would treat him; as the king and his forces would be utterly destroyed by G-d’s ruach, or bolide “blast” from the heavens.

The land surrounding Jerusalem was soon a metal filled vortex zone as the almost 200,000 military warriors laid on the ground and around them lay their military hardware, shields, swords, helmets, and body armor.

The landscape outside the wall of Jerusalem was soon to become a “ground” where a powerful magnetic bolide would be “cast down” upon the field of sleeping soldiers. The hundreds of acres of served as a reception ground as a field of metal drew to the earth a million-volt flue or bolide of fire from the heavens.

Bolides of Fire cascading over the Earth are part of G-d’s Divine Act of Creation and Judgment: like the Bolide Blast of G-d that destroyed the 185,000 Assyrian Army outside the walls of Jerusalem

The Nation of the Northern Kingdom of Israel first felt the long arm of human terror in 725 B.C.E. when Shalmaneser V (727-722 B.C.E.) invaded Israel and marched on to Samaria, the capital city of the Northern Kingdom of Israel located in Shomron and Judea today called the “West Bank”. For three years, the capital city lay in siege and finally fell to its destruction in the year of 722 B.C.E.

During the final onslaught by Sargon II, (722-705 B.C.E.) general of the army and eventual successor to Shalmaneser; the Northern Kingdom of Israel also felt the wrath of Assyria. Judah, in the 4^th year of Hezekiah, also now came under the control of Assyria by sending tribute to the Assyrians.

So, in 722 B.C.E., House of the Northern Kingdom of Israel went into exile; an exile which has never been completed and whose dry bones have not been restored to this day, per the prophecy of Ezekiel 36. (Ezekiel.36:1-14)

The Hebrew speaking Rabshakeh, chief cup bearer and spokesman for Assyrian King Sennacherib

The Prophet Isaiah was powerful human force representing the messages and warnings from the One G-d of Israel. The symbiotic relationship between the Prophet Isaiah and King Hezekiah was a powerful human force that was in an alliance with the angelic powers of the Divine.

What is known is that Hezekiah, between the years of 701 and 690 B.C.E., spent extensive preparations to fortify the city of Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 32:2-6) awaiting the final onslaught.

It was during this time the famous Hezekiah’s tunnel was carved beneath the limestone mountain called Mount Moriah. The Jewish tunnelers bore a 1777- foot tunnel from the well of Gihon in the Kidron Valley to the lower Pool of Siloam inside the walls of Jerusalem. (2 Chronicles 32:4,30, 2 Kings 20:20).

As such the residences inside the walls of Jerusalem had a continuous supply of water even during a siege; even to this present day. This was documented on an inscription found in the tunnel in 1880, now residing in the Archeological Museum at Istanbul, which states:

The King Hezekiah Siloam Tunnel Inscription Stone

Archeological Museum at Istanbul - “The tunnel was bored. And this was the manner in which it was cut. While (the workmen were) still (lifting up) axes, each toward his neighbor, and while three cubits remained to be cut through, (there was heard) the voice one calling the other, tunnel was bored, the stonecutters, struck, each to meet his fellow, ax against ax; and the water flowed from the spring to the pool for 1,200 cubits (1,700 feet), and the height of the rock above the heads of the stonecutters was 100 cubits.”

The location in Hezekiah’s Tunnel where King Hezekiah’s Siloam Tunnel Stone was taken from the wall of the Tunnel

Contrary to modern chronology, Sennacherib did not bring his forces to the walls of Jerusalem on 701 B.C.E., but more than likely about 684 B.C.E. On that day, the mighty forces of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria were annihilated by a mighty bolide, “Blast”, the electrical bolt or flue of millions of volts of electricity that was heard across the land.

It incinerated the entire military force of 185,000 warriors, who were camped outside the walls of Jerusalem. The army, lying with the ground strewn with the iron helmets, iron coats of mail, iron javelins, and iron leg armor, became a vast grounding site for a cosmic electrical bolide. According to the prophecy of Isaiah:

Isaiah 37:6 - “And he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”

It appears that Sennacherib (705-681 B.C.E.), the successor to Sargon II, had made a military incursion into the kingdom of Judah, the first, around 701 B.C.E., the 14^th year of Hezekiah. (1 Kings 18:13) he attacked the fortified cities of Hezekiah and carried off tribute and booty. Hezekiah repented and offered to pay tribute.

Though Hezekiah ruled from 729-686 B.C.C., the first fifteen years were co-regent with his father, King Ahaz (735-715 B.C.E.). So, fourteen years after he became sole rule in 715 B.C.C., Sennacherib came to Jerusalem and boasted that he made Hezekiah “prisoner in Jerusalem, his royal residence, like a bird in a cage”.

Per the historical documents in the royal histories of the kings of Judah, Hezekiah paid 300 talents of silver, in which he had to clean out the coffers of the Temple of G-d, and 30 talents of gold, in which he had to tear down the front doors of the temple and remove the gold overlay in which he had earlier restored when he repaired the Temple of Solomon.

Having access now to the Royal Archives of Sennacherib in Nineveh, we find Sennacherib’s claim that he had receipts of ‘thirty talents of gold and eight hundred talents of silver,” together with a great treasure of gems, couches of ivory, valuable woods, and ‘all the king’s valuable treasures.” (SDA Bible Commentary Vol. 2 pg. 956)

Some scholars think that during this campaign, when he took the fenced cities, he also laid siege to Jerusalem. Others suggest that Sennacherib returned later, laid siege to Lachish, while he sent Rabshakeh, the chief cup bearer and spokesman for the king’s envoy, who was obviously multi-lingual as he spoke Hebrew, to deliver an ultimatum to King Hezekiah.

While this ultimatum was being delivered, it was learned that Tirhakah, king of Cush, an Ethiopian ruler of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt, was in route to engage in battle with Sennacherib. (11 Kings 19:9)

Historical documents depict that Tirhakah was born in 708 B.C.E. At the age of 7, he was unable to wield an army against Sennacherib, so Tirhakah was also co-regent, with his brother, Shabataka (700 – 684 B.C.E.), in 690 B.C.E. and reigned alone from 684 to 664 B.C.E. What we do know is that Hezekiah died in 686 B.C.E. Seven years later King Sennacherib was assassinated (681 B.C.E)., so Sennacherib’s confrontation with Hezekiah was sometime between 690 to 686 B.C.E.

If there is a conclusion to this story, the Neshama Soul of King Sennacherib will someday in the future be placed the body of another Military Force Commander at the end of days. In the next article, we will explore who this military archetype will become at the “end of days” when the final calamities will fall upon the nations of the world. At the “time of the end” these celestial calamities will bring the divine judgment of G-d upon all peoples; depending upon our relationship, obedience and alliance with the powers of the heavenly archons.

Isaiah 37:36 - “Then the angel of the Lord went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when the people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses-all dead. So, Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at Nineveh.

Now it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then Esarhaddon his son reined in his place.”

Then the promise came to King Hezekiah from the Prophet Isaiah for his people:

2 Kings 19: 29-31 (Isaiah 37:30-32) – “This shall be a sign to you: You shall eat this year such as grows of itself and in the second year what springs from the same; also in the third year; sow and reap.

Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. And the remnants who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.”

Here were the blessings of the G-d of Israel, blessings that once again will reign down upon not only the Jewish people’s but also upon the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.

Ezekiel 36:22-23, 24-28 (parts); 33- - “Therefore, tell the house of Yisra’el that Adonai Elohim (L-rd G-d) says this:

‘I am not going to do this for your sake, house of Yisra’el, but for the sake of my Holy Name, which you have been profaning among the nations where you went. I will set apart my Great Name to be regarded as holy, since it has been profaned in the nations – you profaned it among them.

They will know that I am Adonai,’ says Adonai Elohim, ‘when, before their eyes, I am set apart through you to be regarded as holy.

For I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all countries, and return you to your own soil. Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you…I will cleanse you from your uncleanliness…I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside …You will live in the land I gave to your ancestors.

You will be my people, and I will be your G-d…When the day comes for me to cleanse you from all your guilt, I will cause cities to be inhabited and the ruins to be rebuilt. The land that was desolate will be tilled, whereas formerly it lay desolate for all passing by to see.

They will say, ‘the land that used to be desolate has become like Gan Eden (Garden of Eden)…Then the nations around that remain will know that I, Adonai, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted what was abandoned. I, Adonai, have spoke; and I will do it!”

Special Edition: The First Lamb from the Speckled and Spotted Flock of the Patriarch Jacob in 2000 years has now been Born in Israel.

Destination Yisrael has been ardently following the saga of the redemption of the Speckled Black and White Sheep from the flock of the Patriarch Jacob. Now the first lamb born in the State of Israel in over 2000 years has now been born.

Genesis 30:32 – “I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every dark one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.”

The first Jacob’s Lamb was born in the land of Israel for the first time in over two millennia. This lamb’s auspicious birth came last month in the Jordan Valley. As revealed by One of Israel’s Torah Code sages, very precise instructions have now been uncloaked in the sheep’s role in bringing forth the Third Jewish Temple and its sacred mission.

It was last November, 2016, that 119 of Jacob’s Sheep arrived in the land of Israel after a 2000-mile journey across Western Canada to Eastern Canada. They were then sent on special air flights by El Al, the Israeli National Airline from Canada to Israel.

The sheep are such a rare breed that high level international cooperation took almost a year to complete before the sheep arrived in the Land of Israel. Now, Destination Yisrael is delighted to share the first birth announcement of the 1^st baby lamb born in the Land of Israel since the days of our Patriarch Jacob.

Jacob went to Laban’s homeland in Padan Aram near Haran in Mesopotamia

These sheep are specially known for their genetic purity. They came from the flock of Jacob’s uncle, Laban, in Padan Aran, who lived in the land of Mesopotamia. The arrival of sheep genetically pure from the sheep in Patriarch’s Judah’s flock as he left Laban’s homeland in Mesopotamia have now returned home to the lands of their patriarchal sheep herders.

These same sheep later “went down” during an era of great famine in the Middle East to Egypt. At this time, the 70-member family of Jacob traveled to Egypt under the protection and guardianship of Joseph, the Vizier of Mitzsrayim (Egypt).

This rare flock of precious sheep, 119 in all, have now returned to the ancient land of Canaan, now the State of Israel. This type of sheep is very robust in health as they were genetically cloned by the Patriarch Jacob when he herded the flocks of Laban in the watershed rivers in Mesopotamia.

Biblical experts now believe this unique breed, originally raised by Jacob over 4000 years ago, accompanied the Hebrew family of 70 into Egypt. Over several generations the Children of Israel eventually sunk into slavery in ancient Pharaonic Egypt.

After the Exodus from Egypt, the flocks of sheep wandered in the wilderness with the Children of Israel after their encounter with the G-d of Israel at the mount called Sinai. Later, after settling in Canaan, the tribes of Manasseh, Gad and Reuben lived on the eastern side of the Jordan River (in the regions of Syria and Jordan today). After the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temples of Solomon and Herod the Great, the sheep spread to Northern Africa.

It was the Moors in Northern Africa along the Mediterranean coastline that traded the sheep to Spain. The Spanish royalty then shared them to Ancient Britain where the British baronial families used them on their “parklands” with their manor homes in the country.

Since that era, the sheep have been considered a “heritage breed” as their genetic lineages remain pure and they can thrive in desert climates and are unique by having 4 to 6 horns.

It was in the end of May, 2017 that Gil Lewinsky was contacted by Simcha Treister, a Bible Code expert in Safed on the Galilean coastline, who discovered a hidden role of Jacob’s sheep in the era of the New Holy Temple. Simcha Treister described his unique method in using intervals in the entire TaNaKh (Bible) that were based on date timing. As Simcha Treister described his code breaking revelations:

Simcha Treister – “I searched intervals of 5777 letters in the Bible, since that is this year in the Hebrew calendar. The word tzoan (“flock” in Hebrew) appeared in this interval, perpendicular to the word “Gil”, the owner’s name. Directly above these words is the word ‘Moshiach’ (Messiah).”

The Biblical Code for “Flock”, “Gil” (Lewinsky the owner) and Messiah (Maschiach)

When the hidden message code included the name of “Gil” the owner of the flock, he called Gil Lewinsky and gave him the exciting message. The “flock of sheep” were coded together with the owner’s name, “Gil” and completed with the Hebrew word, Maschiach the name of “Messiah”.

The sheep are now home near the Jordan River. Jacob’s Sheep finally made aliyah to the Land of Israel. One hundred and nineteen sheep first made a 2,100-mile journey from their original home in Vancouver in Western Canada to Eastern Canada where they were quarantined.

Now all 119 sheep are safely home after flying from Canada to Israel. They traveled in eleven separate flights after their quarantine was completed in Canada.

The challenges were formidable, but the Lewinsky family, creating a not for profit farm to maintain the flock of sheep have now opened the gates for the International world to participate in the public campaign to maintain their not-for-profit flock. In an effort to raise funding, they have launched a public campaign to help in the expenses called ‘Name a Lamb’.

The Legends of the Lost Visigoth and Vandal Tribes of Israel who conquered Rome and reclaimed the Lost Golden Treasures from King Solomon and King Herod’s Temples.

The Eternal City of Rome sacked and looted by the Vandals of the Germanic Gothic Lost Tribes of Israel

(Note the Painter of the above picture show King Genseric the Vandal Lost Israelite warriors carrying the Menorah from King Herod’s Temple out of Rome in the days of Pope Leo I standing to the right. Where did the Menorah go?

The Last days of Jerusalem in 70 CE was one of the most horrific moments in Jewish history. The city was destroyed and all the golden vessels, the Menorah in the Sanctuary were confiscated and taken to Rome. This fact was proven for on the Great Arch of Titus in Rome is the depiction of the menorah carried by the captured Jewish male slaves.

The Jews were all alone now. The Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel had disappeared into the mist and myth of history or so it seemed.

Between the 4^th century BCE and the 4^th century CE, the Gothic Germanic waves of peoples roaring into the region of Gaul to the north of Italy.

The Visigoths were one of two main branches of the Gothic Germanic waves of Lost Israelites, who came in from the regions of Asia to the east. As a people, the “Goths” have been associated by many historical scholars with the Tribe of Gad, who lived to the east of the Jordan River. The primary branch of the Germanic Goths were their tribal brothers; the Ostrogoths.

This was the era of the great migrations that were being pushed westward by the inroads of the famed Hun warrior invasions into Central Europe from the Eurasian steppes to the east. The Visigoth Israelites, in those days were living along the estuary marshes of the Danube River, one of many of their “resting places” in their centuries’ long wanderings from the lands of their Assyrian exile in Khurasan where the nations of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan exist today.

The Goths followed the pathway of their tribal cousins, the Tribe of Dan, who left their name “Dan” attached to the rivers which they crossed over as they traverse from the Caspian Sea to the east and over the Black Sea to the west until they reached the Danube River in central Europe.

They passed over first the “Don/Dan River” then the D(a)nieper River, the D(a)niester River and then settled along the Danube. Many Israelites migrated north up the Danube towards “Denmark/Danmark” in various waves of peoples first known as the Cimmerians, the Celts and the Cymrics as they followed the earlier pathway of their tribal brothers of Dan.

It was Peter Heather who contended that the Visigoth’s migration to the west came in response to the threat of the Huns following behind them. As he wrote:

Peter Heather – “Mysterious as the Huns' origins and animating forces may remain, there is no doubt at all that they were behind the strategic revolution that brought the Goths to the Danube in the summer of 376."

The Visi-Goths by the tens of thousands were now arriving along the northern borders of the Roman Empire requesting asylum. This dilemma put the Arian Emperor Valens of Rome to the test. From the Danube to Bulgaria, and then to the lands to the north of Rome, the Visigoths settled and soon began serving as mercenaries protecting the Roman Empire to the regions below in Italy.

It was their Visigoth king, Alaric who served as a military leader of the Roman foederati (hired mercenary forces) under the Emperor Theodosius I in the mountain passes of the Julian Alps at the Battle of Frigidus. The Roman Emperor, Theodosius I was fighting a civil war against a usurping rival to the throne of Rome called Eugenius. It opened the eyes of the Visigoth king, to Italy’s strategic strength but also its weaknesses in Rome’s natural defenses in the mountains overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

The First War of the Visigoths ended with the Battle of Adrianople (August 9, 378). The Israelite Visigoths did not have any desire to be imperialists and rule from the capital city of Rome. It appeared that the G-d of Israel did have designs for His chosen people, even though they continued to abominate the “Holy Name of G-d”.

Famine broke out in Italy, whether by change in weather conditions, or the fragmentation of Roman social order, plus Rome’s refusal to supply its Visigoth mercenary foederati with its depleting grain stocks, or to give even the land to live and grow food.

So the Visigoths turned their attention to plundering the Roman controlled regions in the Balkans. The weakness of Rome was felt with the Roman Emperor Valens was now dead and his Roman army was decimated at the Battle of Adrianople in the year of 378.

Migrations of the Germanic Israelite Gothic Tribes of the Tribe of Gad, and their Affect upon Rome

Despite the dire conditions and weakness of the capital city of Rome, Alaric did not take advantage of his military fortune to destroy the city of Rome. He was chosen for the divine task of being G-d’s “battle ax” and he kept true to his destiny.

Jeremiah 51:19-21 – “The Portion of Jacob is not like them, for he is the Maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. The L-rd of hosts is His Name.

You (Israel) are My “battle ax” and weapons of war: for with you I will break the nation in pieces; with you I will destroy kingdoms; with you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; with you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider…”

G-d in describing His Israel, who is not like Babylon the spiritual ancestor of Rome, for He called the “Lost Israelites” His “Battle Ax”. Despite their rebellion and apostasy, the Lost Tribes of Israel still had a divine destiny while Babylon/Edom/Rome was destined to meet their final destruction.

Obadiah 1:8-10 – “Behold, on that day – the word of Hashem – I will eradicate wise men from Edom and understanding from the Mountain of Esau. Your mighty ones to the south will be broken, so that every man will be cut off from the Mountain of Esau by the slaughter. For the oppression of your brother Jacob, disgrace will envelop you and you will be cut off forever.”

And so it was. The defiant Kingdom of Israel who was exiled to the land of Media in Khurasan beyond the Euphrates had lost their identity. When one tribe was battling the other, they did not know they were fighting their own tribal brothers. But the G-d of Israel knew exactly who “Israel” was and used them a His emissary of divine judgment.

If Alaric had chosen to destroy Rome, the course of history with the future rise of the papal power in the Vatican over Europe during the Dark Ages and the Medieval Era would have been totally different. We would not today be dealing with a spiritual force called “Mystery Rome” at the time of the end.

The Israelite king, Alaric was a follower of Arianism, the 3^rd century Alexandrian presbyter, Arius, who believed that “Jesus” was not divine for the “Son of G-d” did not always exist but was created by and therefore inferior to G-d the Father. They were akin to the “Semi-Arians” who believed that “Jesus Christ” as he was known to them was neither uncreated nor created like we understand the world as all human beings were created.

With its corrupt concepts of the divine, if the Visigoth King Alaric would have destroyed Rome, it may have prevented the ascendency of Athanasianism, the concept from the 4^th century Alexandrian presbyter, Athanasius who declared that “Christ” was of the same substance as G-d but a different person, hence Christianity’s corrupt conception of the Trinity or a tripartite god instead of the “One-G-d of Israel”.

Deuteronomy 6:4 (Shema Yisrael) – “Hear, O Israel”, the L-rd is out G-d, the L-rd is one.”

The Visigoth’s ancestors as the tribal cousins of Judah in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, refused to believe in the Torah based religion instituted at the mount called Sinai by the G-d of Israel. Rather they chose to create their own religion with the amalgamation of their beliefs with the Phoenician god of Ba’el.

They refused to celebrate the festivals in the Temple of Solomon, refused to accept the Levite priests in Jerusalem as the priests of their religious national experience, and now again were part of the great debate this time in Early Christendom, who is the “Divine and Holy One of Israel”.

Classic Visigothic Dwelling in Central Europe called the Wohnstallhaus Dwelling in the Scythian-Germanic and Celtic Chernyakhov and Chernyakhov Culture in Ukraine, Rumania, Moldovia and Belarius

Theodosius I was the last emperor of Rome (379-395). He, like Constantine the Great was a promoter of the Athanasius, a Deacon at Alexandria and later the 20^th Bishop of Alexandria. It was through Athanasius’ creedal concept of G-d, now the Roman Empire’s creedal concept of G-d that the Nicene Creed was formulated.

With Theodosius’s able leadership, he completed in part the Constantine political reforms by fully uniting the Eastern and the Western halves of the Roman Empire. This included the final codification of the Nicene Creed and making Christianity the state religion of Rome.

From this date forward, the “Christian Church” was Romanised by its imperial decree to make the “Trinity” the official dogma of Rome and Roman Orthodox Christianity.

The “Trinity”, as Rome’s concept of the who G-d is, would become the “Mark” of Roman’s apostasy against the Jewish belief in the “One G-d of Israel”. It also became the fulcrum upon which was demanded that all citizens of the Roman Empire become Christians and the “Force”, as we shall soon see over centuries of wars against “unbelievers” that ended up in massive waves of religious genocide.

This Tripartite concept of G-d would also through the centuries weave itself throughout the rise and fall of Roman Christianity with the rise of the Protestant Revolt and Reformation.

Like today, we now witness the fragmentation of the denominations of Protestant Christianity as the “daughters of Rome” are now returning back home to Rome while they refuse to affirm their historic Hebrew-Judaic roots beliefs in the Divine as the One G-d of Israel.

This is only a continuation of the original apostasy of the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel and their Exile. Without returning back to the G-d of Israel, only suggests for them, the “tikkun olam”, the repairing of the breech of apostasy of Israel will become the recipients of G-d’s divine judgment.

United Imperial Rome would be short lived for in the early 5^th century as the second wave of the Lost Germanic Israelites came as the Vandals, the Suebi and the Alans. They crossed the Rhine River at Moguntiacum (near modern Mainz) on December 31, 406/5. They began a campaign of destroying and ravaging the region of Southern Gaul before moving towards the regions in Spain and then crossed over the Mediterranean Sea into Northern Africa. Rome never would gain control of many of these regions again. This invasion led to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.

Then suddenly the Roman Emperor Theodosius I died in the year of 395 CE leaving behind two young sons, both in their youth. Denied a promotion in the Roman army, Alaric and his peoples were now in a mood of rebellion. Their military ranks had been exposed as the Romans placed them at the forefront of the Battle of Frigidus, killing innumerable Visigoths while the Romans waited behind to fight. So Alaric was “raised on a shield” and Alaric I was proclaimed the King of the Visigoths. He was now prepared to seek his own kingdom rather than being the subjects of Rome.

In three separate sieges and one sack against Rome, 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.

The Visigoth invasion was more like a tribal migration rather than a military invasion. 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. 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”.

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 in the midst of an internal war with itself as Rome was beginning her final demise.

We must understand that the Visigoth Israelites were mercenary allied troops of the 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 in negotiations 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.

The Sack of Rome by Alaric and the Visigoths in 410 CE

The Roman peace under the Emperor Theodosius was short-lived for around 410 CE, the Israelite Visigothic warriors again invaded Rome for the second time; this time under their Israelite King Alaric.

First they invaded Greece, then over to the Italian peninsula that ended with the sack of Rome in the year of 410 CE. As BibleSearchers Reflections wrote in the article titled, “Finding a New Home for the Lost Tribes of Israel” we read:

BibleSearchers Reflections – “The land of Sarmatia is today in modern Ukrainia and is known for its great fertility. But Sarmatia would not be the Israelite-Scythians’ last resting place. By the 3^rd century BCE, the Celtic Cimmerian people, known as the “Gauls” to the Romans began to fill the entire regions of Central Europe and Northern Italy. These ancient Israelites became so numerous that the Italians began to get concerned.

The tribes crossed over the Alps and the Apennine Mountain range that traversed the length of Italy from north to south along its eastern coastline. They began to encroach upon the Latin homeland of the Roman descendants of the House of Esau, the Edomites. It was not long before the Cimmerian Israeli Gauls began to make thrusting raids into central and southern Italy.
As written by Archeologist E. Raymond Capt, it was the wandering Israelite Gauls that destroyed the Etruscan power and culture in Italy. They were the predecessors of Rome and exceeded Rome in culture and civilized statehood. It was Brennus or “Bran” who sacked ancient Rome and burned it down it in the year of 390 BCE.”

“Lost Israelite Gothic King Alaric”

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 with documents 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. As reported in the article titled, “Alaric I” by Wikipedia, we read:

Wikipedia – “The contemporary ecclesiastics recorded with wonder many instances of the Visigoths' clemency: Christian churches saved from ravage; protection granted to vast multitudes both of pagans and Christians who took refuge therein; vessels of gold and silver which were found in a private dwelling, spared because they "belonged to St. Peter"; at least one case in which a beautiful Roman matron appealed, not in vain, to the better feelings of the Gothic soldier who attempted her dishonor.

But even these exceptional instances show that Rome was not entirely spared the horrors which usually accompany the storming of a besieged city. Nonetheless, the written sources do not mention damages wrought by fire, save the Gardens of Sallust, which were situated close to the gate by which the Goths had made their entrance; nor is there any reason to attribute any extensive destruction of the buildings of the city to Alaric and his followers.

The Basilica Aemilia in the Roman Forum did burn down, which perhaps can be attributed to Alaric: the archaeological evidence was provided by coins dating from 410 found melted in the floor. The pagan emperors' tombs of the Mausoleum of Augustus and Castel Sant'Angelo were rifled and the ashes scattered."

The Walled Fortress City of Carcassonne

What was even more intriguing, as recorded by innumerable authors, when Alaric’s 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.

Along with the numerous 11,000-foot peaked ranges between France and Spain is today still a wild country of sparse settlements. 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 are now entombed in a new home, today known only by G-d and the angelic hosts.

As recorded in the 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 the 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.

The Last Stronghold of the Cathars at the Citadel of Montségur

The amazing part of this, not accounted by most historians, the Romans were now under the dominion of the Gothic (Gadite) tribes of the ancient House of Israel. This was 1,155 years after the Tribes of Gad, Reuben and half of Manasseh of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, who lived on the other side of the Jordan, were taken into exile by the Assyrians between the years 745-741 CE.

The Visigoths did not have the genetic imprint to be rulers over the city of Rome. All they wanted was land in which to live in peace and not be bothered.

It is important to note that neither the Gothic Israelites nor the Jews carried that imperialistic drive to conquer and rule. Rather, they did have a certain independent behavior; because part of their covenant with G-d, they were not to become intermingled with other peoples and nations.

While the Visigoths were “sacking Rome”, their tribal Gothic brothers, the Vandals, Alans, and the Suevi were moving into the vacuum of power in Roman Hispania (Spain).

The Roman Emperor Honorius in 418 CE, sought again to hire the Visigoths as Roman mercenary federates to regain control of Spain for Rome. For their service he gave them the region of Gallia Aquitania that ranged from the Pyrenees Mountains dividing Spain from Aquitaine France up the Atlantic coastline to Central France.

The Visigothic kingdom was now born and when under the rule of their second great king, Euric, Rome was forced to give them their full independence. The Visigoths would soon become the powerhouse of Europe in the fading years of Rome’s sacking by both the Israelite Visigoths and later the Israelite Vandals of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.

The Lost Israelite Vandal King Genseric – “Leaderscene by Janboruta”

The military defenses surrounding Rome soon collapsed for the second time as the Lost Tribes of Israel, this time under the Israelite Vandal king Genseric prepared to destroy the city ruled under the usurping rule of the Western Roman Emperor Petronius Maximus.

What triggered the sacking of the city of Rome was not malice or the desire for destruction, but rather to honor the tribal codes of betrothal between the Vandal Prince Huneric, the son of the Vandal King Genseric and the Roman Princess Eudocia, the daughter of the Roman Emperor Valentinian III.

This Israelite-Roman betrothal was a part of a Peace Treaty between the Romans and the Vandals in 442 CE, though the marriage was delayed because Princess Eudocia was too young.

Three years later, Princess Eudocia’s father, the Emperor Valentinian III was assassinated. The usurping Roman Senator Petronius Maximus, who ascended to the Roman throne, married Valentinian III’s widow, Lucinia Eudoxia, and his son, married the Roman Princess Eudocia.

The Vandal King, Genseric, was incensed for the word of honor to the code of the Ancient Israelites was paramount to all agreements. The Peace Treaty with Valentinian was effectively annulled and Genseric set sail to conquer Rome from Carthage and restore his honor.

The Vandals had already left Spain after begin pushed south and across the Straits of Gibraltar by their tribal brothers, the Visigoths. They then moved on to conquer the Northern Mediterranean coastline of Africa in 429 CE, from Morocco to Algeria.

St. Augustine of Hippo; the Cathedral of Hippo and the Port City of Hippo Regius

One of the cities where the Vandals conquered was the city of residence of the famed Doctor of Roman Catholic Law St. Augustine of Hippo; the city of Hippo Regius. Of interest, during the 14^th month siege of the Port City of Hippo Regius, Augustine died, but prior to his death, Augustine of Hippo guided his followers to make provisions that the library of the Cathedral at Hippo and all its books to be carefully preserved.

Just after the death of Augustine, the Vandals lifted the siege of the city. In a strange act of respect and kindness by the Vandal King Genseric, the city of Hippo was later destroyed, but the Cathedral of Hippo and Augustine’s magnificent library were preserved.

The affect upon Pope Leo I and Roman Orthodoxy by the death of St. Augustine of Hippo would be an interesting topic of research. Will the revelation that the city of Rome that was sacked by the Vandals was a part of a larger mosaic of imperial and Christian Church history that depicted the war by the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel against Rome?

Will such a revelation in this modern age, erupt a new wave of anti-Semitism by the House of Esau (Edom) against the House of Jacob, Lost Israelites and Jews alike? Will this precipitate a wave of anger by the Edomites represented today as Rome, and more specifically the Vatican as the progenitor of Roman Orthodoxy against the descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel?

As we can now see within the historical montage of “Roman Church History” that it was the Lost Tribers of the House of Israel who protest-ed against Rome. The Israelite Gauls (Goths) protested first by sacking Rome three times. Then in adoration to the Jewish messiah, called “The Nazarene”, they knew in their hearts that the G-d of Israel sent His “messiah of that age” to this world for the Lost Tribes of Israel; for by His own admission, the Nazarene said;

Matthew 10:6, 15:24 – “I was sent by my Father in heaven, to find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.

At the end of time, this final drama will again be replayed as the G-d of Israel’s anger is aimed towards the “Shepherds” of his flock. Most biblical commentators see these “Shepherds” as the Zionist leaders of Israel and the Jewish rabbis of Judah, but in the context of this chapter, we see that the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel are included as the “sheep” that G-d demands protection.

So, G-d’s wrath and judgment upon the nations will be meted out not by the Jews, but by the alliance of the Royal House of Judah and the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel as G-d evokes His righteous indignation upon the “Shepherds”; the political leaders over the Jews of Israel and the Lost Tribes of Israel in Northern Europe and America. Let us read carefully:

Zechariah 10:3-8 (parts) – “‘My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will vent it on the leaders of the flock.’ For Adonai-Tzva’ot will care for his flock, the people of Y’hudah (Jews of Judah); he will make them His royal war-horse…I will strengthen the house of Y’hudah (Judah) and save the house of Yosef. I will bring them back into My compassion for them; they will be as if I hadn’t driven them out; for I am Adonai their G-d, and I will answer them.”

Efrayim’s men (Warrior defenders of the Lost Tribe of Ephraim (Efrayim), son of Joseph (Yosef) represented by Anglo-Saxon Great Britain (Engle Sacchi or “Ephraim sons of Isaac” as the British and their colonist in America, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand) will be like warriors; their hearts will be cheered as if from wine. Their children will see it and rejoice, their hearts will be glad in Adonai.”

Obadiah 15-21 (parts) - “For the Day of Adonai is near for all nations; as you did, it will be done to you; your dealings will come back on your own head…But on Mount Tziyon there will be a holy remnant who will escape, and the house of Ya’kov Jews of Judah) will be a fire and the house of Yosef (Lost Tribes of the House of Israel) a flame, setting aflame and consuming the stubble which is the house of ‘Esav (Roman Edomites and Palestinian Amalekites). None of the house of ‘Esav will remain, for Adonai has spoken.

Those in the Negev will repossess the mountain of ‘Esav, and those in the Sh’fealah the land of the P’lishtim; they will repossess the field of Efrayim and the fields of Shomron, and Binyamin will occupy Gil’ad. Those from this army of the people of Isra’el exiled among the Kena’anim as far away as Tzarfat, and the exiles from Yerushalayim in S’farad, will repossess the cities in the Negev. Then the victorious will ascend Mount Tziyon to rule over Mount ‘Esav, but the kingship will belong to Adonai.”

The Lost Tribers, as the Protest-ant Christians during the 16^th and 17^th centuries protest-ing against Rome, knew they also had a destiny. They were also a ‘covenanted’ people.

These spiritual ideas were still very foggy in their minds, for many of their religious concepts were also corrupted. But over the centuries their destiny would become clearer; to be redeemed and restored to the lands of their inheritance; Shomron, Galilee, Lebanon, Gilead, Basham, and the Mountains of Edom. (Ezekiel 36)

Here we can now see more clearly a process of divine destiny. By their protest-ing, their lives were now one step farther away from Esau’s Edomite Rome and they were now walking one step closer to their cousins the Jews of the House of Judah.

So today, as final Revelations of the Messiah are unfolding, are we finding that the Protestant Christians living in the Northern Nations of Europe and their colonies, such as; the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand, are now coming under a new wave anti-Semitic persecution at the end of days?

Will the Lost Tribes of Israel be targeted by Rome until they “return home”, back to apostate Roman Christian Orthodoxy or will they leave Christianity behind and return in brotherly fellowship back in covenant with the Jews of the House of Judah?

Though Genseric, now the King of North Africa was recognized officially as ruler over Northern Africa by his royal alliance with the Roman Emperor Valentinian III, the effect of St, Augustine’s death upon the Roman Catholic hierarchy may be one reason why this Gothic tribal coalition headed by the Tribe of Gad, became known in history as the “Vandals”.

The Goths were not known as “Vandals” back in ancient history, but it is a word later stemmed the coining of the derogatory word, “vandalism”?

Instead of recognizing the only peoples in world, Jews and Israelites of the House of Judah, whose morality even in war, showed them to be merciful conquerors; they have been demeaned by the inheritors of Esau (Edom) as genocidal warriors’ worthy of annihilation by the Romans, and their descendants, Vatican Rome.

Revelation 6:9-11 – “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of G-d and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, L-rd, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’

Then a white robe was given to each of them and it was said to them, that they should rest a little while longer until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.”

By 439, the coveted city of Carthage was captured by a surprised Vandal raid. The Western Roman Navy docked at the Port of Carthage now came under the control of the Vandal Israelite warriors.

Of most interest, the famous debate of the Council of Nicene between the Arians and the Athanasians was resurrected again when King Genseric made Arian Christianity the National Religion of the Vandals.

What was even more interesting, while King Genseric was an Arian and supported the State Church in the Vandal control region of Carthage as Arianism, they still freely allowed freedom of religion to the Roman Catholic Athenasian Christians.

6^th century Map shows Germanic (Gothic or the Tribes of Gad, Reuben and Half of Manasseh) Kingdoms and Peoples in Red (Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Vandals in Northern Africa, plus the Suebii, Burgundians, Franks, Alemanni, Jutes, and Saxons). Areas still ruled by Pre-migration inhabitants in Blue show the Cimmerian Peoples of the Tribes of Dan, Simeon (Basques, Cymrics and Celts), with the Byzantine Western Roman Empire in Orange.

The city of Carthage now became the capital of the African Vandal Kingdom under the control of the descendants of the Patriarch Jacob (Israel). It made the city of Carthage again the enemy of Rome for the first time since the Punic Wars when the Carthaginian General Hannibal made war with the Romans. The Mediterranean Sea was no longer under the control of the Romans, but under what was seen as the Vandal maritime pirates of the 5^th and 6^th century CE.

Anarchy reined in Rome as the Emperor Valentinian III, whose hand was implicated in the murder of Aetius, was slain by Aetius’ allies on March 16, 455 CE. A new emperor of Rome was nominated but King Gaiseric refused to recognize the new Emperor Maximus, for it was thought Maximus’ plotting not only resulted in the slaying of both the Roman Emperor Valentinian and Aetius.

Also, the usurping Emperor Maximus ‘stole’ the widowed Roman Empress Eudoxia which the Vandal King Gaiseric coveted to marry, and her daughter, Eudoxia, who had already been pledge in the royal arranged dynastic wedding between Rome and the Vandals, thus sealing the relationship between the Vandals and Rome to his son, the Vandal Prince Honorius.

So, in that same year, 455 CE, the King of the Vandals and his Israelite warriors left Carthage. The Vandals plus also his Moorish troops left with a large naval fleet, already prepared for war and sailed over to Rome; to bring Rome under the nominal allied control of the African Vandal nation.

The goal of the Vandal king, in part was to redeem the honor of the royal marriages between Carthaginian Vandal Nation and Rome. His goal was also to complete the repossession of the ancient Israelite treasuries not taken in 410 CE by the Visigoths.

This included not only the rest of “King Solomon’s Temple Treasures” but also the “Treasuries of King Herod’s Temple in Jerusalem”. Was it not the Edomite Roman general Titus, between the years of 68-70 CE, whose armies starved out the population of Jerusalem, desecrated and burnt down Herod’s Temple?

Did not Rome tear down every remnant of the Holy Temple of the Jewish G-d, but also destroyed any remnant down to the bedrock on Zion looking over the Gihon Springs?

The Harbor and Port of Emperor Claudius called Portus

The Vandal alliance of Israelites and Islamic Moors landed at the Port of Emperor Claudius called the Harbor of Portus. They then marched along the Via Portuensis to Augustine of Hippo’s “City of God”. Soon the Israelite Vandals were standing outside the gates of Rome.

The inhabitants of Rome and the surrounding regions of Italy began to flee, as revealed by the Roman Chronicler, Prosper of Aquitaine who gave us most our historical information about the “sack” of Rome. It was there on the Via Portuensis, King Genseric met with respect Pope Leo I and his delegation. They came to persuade the Vandal monarch to show clemency and spare the lives of the Roman people and the integrity of the city of Rome.

Leo I especially begged the Vandal ruler to avoid setting the city into an incendiary pyre with the hopes to take that which he chose to plunder, he would also return to his own homeland.

The Vandal King Genseric honored the wishes of Pope Leo I, with a rare sense of clemency not seen in the wars of the ancient world. The city gates of Rome were opened to the King Genseric’s Vandals, as the usurping emperor, Maximus, was murdered by the Roman mobs as he sought to flee outside the city.

Forty-five years earlier when the Vandal’s tribal Israelite kin, the Visigoths, sacked Rome in 410 CE, they plundered the city for only three days and then left. It was as though they had one purpose; to gain possession of something of enduring value. It also showed the Roman citizens a rare sense of honor to the human peoples that even their own Roman rulers failed to comprehend.

The Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus

During the Visigoth sacking of Rome, it is believed by numerous scholars that the Visigoths took with them the 9,000 pounds of gold already given to King Alaric I for bribes to originally keep them out of Italy and Rome.

Yet, the most enduring legends surround the “Treasures of Solomon” that Rome had confiscated from the Temple of Herod in 70 CE plus other cultural treasures of Jerusalem.

They took these treasures with them, never to be seen again. These treasures were one thousand years later still remembered as the “Treasures of the Visigoths”.

As stated, the Visigoth Israelites stayed in Rome only three days yet the Israelite Vandals stayed for two weeks. The Vandals already knew what had been taken by their tribal brethren and so had to spend longer time to glean from the archives of Rome those objects of value including the ‘repossession’ or ‘redemption’ of the Treasures of the Ancient Israelites of the United Kingdom of David and Solomon.

These two noble kings of antiquity, King Alaric I of the Visigoths and King Genseric of the Vandals were also genetic descendants of the Royal Scythian Israelites from the ancient Kingdom of Northern Israel, and thereby tribal cousins to the Jews of the Southern Kingdom of Judah.

This may not have been the Vandal’s conscious intent to redeem the “Treasures of the Temple of King Herod” but it came through as their destiny imbedded by the Holy One of Israel into their collective sub-consciousness.

As recorded in the historical sources, the Imperial Roman Palace was sacked and loaded upon the ships to be taken across the Mediterranean Sea to adorn the royal residence of the Vandals in Carthage.

The Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus had the gilded roof stripped away. The golden vessels of Solomon’s Temple used by the Babylon’s King Belteshazzar in his final feast were taken into the Vandal possession.

The Tomb of Cyrus the Great at Pasargadae, home of the Parsargadae Tribe of Lost Israelites

These golden vessels of Solomon’s Temple, taken as plunder by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar, later were returned to Jerusalem by the Israelite Persian Shah Cyrus the Great of the Israelite Tribe of the Pasargadaes. They became a part of the sacred vessels in the Temple of Zerubabbel in Jerusalem that was enlarged and expanded later into Herod’s Temple; the largest and most opulent temple in the then known world.

These sacred vessels plus many other treasures were later taken by the Roman General Titus (later Emperor) to Rome. Now they were ransomed and redeemed by the Lost Vandal Israelites. Yet, the Christian churches and basilicas were virtually untouched. They had no value or meaning to the Israelite “barbarians”.

Unlike Rome’s plundering and desecration of the peoples they conquered, the Israelite Vandals had a certain respect for human life. The populations of the Roman peoples were mercifully spared in honor by the Vandal King Genseric to the appeal of Pope Leo I not to destroy the city of Rome and show clemency to the Roman people.

Roman historians are virtually unanimous that what was also conspicuously absent in the Vandal and Visigoth sackings of Rome was ‘murder’ and incendiary (torched by fire) destruction of Roman homes and buildings for wanton destruction and desecration to either humans, buildings or works of art.

Yet, the Romans later, to their shame, changed the history of the Roman sacking by the Vandals to one of destruction. They left the memory of the Vandal Israelites as one and the same with the word, later known as “vandalism”. This memory was resurrected or created by the Parisians in France no earlier than the end of the 18^th century, during the French Revolution, an era of desecration and destruction.

The Road, Via Portuensis, from Portus Augusti and Portus Trajani to Rome

If history does “repeat” itself, ancient Roman history will remember the Vandals, by the derogatory name that the Romans gave to them with the term “vandalism”. Yet historians will attest that the Vandals, in their war against Rome, carried strong moral ethics like the modern State of Israel (Israel Defense Force called the IDF) does today.

The IDF conducts its targeted warfare with precision to spare human life and by also giving advance notification to the Palestinians living there to leave for safely.

This fact also means giving up Israel’s ‘preemptive strike advantage’ by giving notice to their Hamas enemies yet sparing Palestinian lives. Yet, Israel today is attacked by their Islamic neighbors with anti-Semitic propaganda charging Israel with conducting wars of genocide, when all the rhetoric coming from the mouths of Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood and their Palestinian chapter called Hamas is that for Islam, it is part of their sacred duty to commit complete and total genocide or the annihilation of the Jewish people out of the Middle East.

So the Jew’s tribal Israelite cousins, King Generic’s army honored their code of military ethics by sparing the populations and the city. Yet, Rome’s incited anti-Semitism left the final historical mythical image that the Vandals were a “vandalizing horde of barbarians”.

What is accepted by numerous historians is that the Vandals, besides neutralizing Rome as a threat to their national capital in Carthage, were specifically targeting even their “image of vandalism” with a divine purpose. They went on to selectively take possession of the remainder of King Solomon’s and King Herod’s temple treasuries plundered by Rome in 70 CE.

It is historically documented that the Goths called the Vandals, had prior intercourse with their tribal brethren, the Goths called the Visigoths. It was they who took over the land of Hispania (Spain). The region today called Andalusia was in those days while under the rule of the Vandals; called Vandalusia.

The Visigoths during these same years migrated over to live in ancient French Aquitaine as a move by Rome to get them as far away from Italy as possible. The Vandals later migrated and moved out of Spain and moved across the Strait of Gibraltar and conquered and took possession of Northern Africa, while their cousins came into Spain in the era called Visigothic Spain.

Did the Visigoth and the Vandal chieftains compare “notes’ with each other? Did the Visigoths tell them what they saw in Rome, and what part of “Solomon’s Treasures” they recovered? Did the Visigoths inform the Vandal chieftains what treasures were left in Rome?

Is it possible that the Visigoths selectively targeted the possession of the “King Solomon’s Gold” and deliberately left after they had taken all the “Treasures of King Herod’s Temple” before a counter-revolution in Rome would rise up against them?

What we do know is that the legends of the “Treasures of King Solomon” were specifically tied with the Visigoths and their sack of Rome in 410 CE. Yet, the legends of the Vandals are associated with the recovery and repossession of the “Treasures of King Herod’s Temple”.

The prophecies are clear that the G-d of Israel will fulfill what He has promised to fulfill so that peace can restored to all the earth. The theme of the final conflict between the descendants of Isaac, Esau (Edom/Rome) and Jacob (Jews and Lost Tribes of Israel) is one of the ascending prophesies to be completed at this time.

In this series of articles, the days of pleasant homage to the Jews is over, and the virulent anti-Semitic persecution is about to erupt world-wide, not just to the Jews but all who seek to praise Israel and the Jews and seek to emulate themselves as wanna-be Jews, or wanna-be Israelites. They also will not be spared but will 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. We will be restored back into brotherhood and fellowship with our cousins, the Jews of the House of Judah for that is G-d's will (Ezekiel 37).

Is Obama, the Machiavellian “Black Prince” the Reincarnation of the Pharaoh of Egypt

“But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. When Pharaoh does not listen to you, then I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My hosts, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments.” (Exodus 7:3-4)

One of the hidden and most misunderstood tenants in the Jewish historical lore is the role of reincarnation known by the Talmudic Sage Mystics known from the intense training through the Zohar, the classic texts in the hidden Kabballah.

As written in the Zohar, “In the final days before the revealing of King Messiah (Melekh HaMaschiach), all the historic enemies of Jerusalem and the Jewish people will be reincarnated and they will live to see and experience their final judgment.

They will live on earth during this last generation before the final battles for the sovereignty of Jerusalem as the Solar Rex Capital of our Solar System are completed. During these last epic years of earth’s history, during this cosmic era, each one of these imperial tyrants against Israel will meet their divine judgment during the final battle of GogUMagog. When these “end of days” are over, they will all be destroyed by the wrath of G-d.

It was during these last Sabbatical Week of Years, as prophesied in the mystical and esoteric Jewish texts, the first of the reincarnations of the kings of ancient renown was Saddam Hussein the tyrant of Iraq who ruled in the land of Ancient Babylon. Saddam Hussein believed that the Soul of King Nebuchadnezzar was reincarnated into his soul.

He was so proud of this fact that in his reincarnation role of King Nebuchadnezzar, he commissioned a reconstruction of the august entrance to the City of Babylon and even had the bricks used in the pavement inscribed with these words: “To King Nebuchadnezzar in the reign of Saddam Hussein.”

The Prophet Daniel speaking to King Nebuchadnezzar concerning his Dream of the Great Statue of King Nebuchadnezzar

Hussein was mimicking the original Nebuchadnezzar, who was said to have inscribed his name on the bricks when he built cities in his time. Hussein was hanged on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Tevet. The tenth of Tevet is a fast day commemorating the day Nebuchadnezzar began the siege on Jerusalem that led to the destruction of the Jewish Temple.

The Abandoned Al Faw Palace of Saddam Hussein after his Capture and Hanging in Iraq

Every year, in the Spring, the Jewish holiday of Purim is commemorated as a victory of the Jewish people over the evil plan of Haman the descendant of King Agag the Amalekite. His purpose was to destroy all the Jewish people living in the satraps of Persia. This intended Persian Holocaust was aborted by the Divine intervention of G-d.

It was the Persian Shah, King Cyrus the Great, who was also known as King Achashverosh in the Persian court was truly the military leader of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Consider this fact; it was a military ruler of the Lost Ten Tribes of the Pasargadae Tribe who emancipated the Jewish people and sent them back to their Jewish homeland in Jerusalem.

The effect on the psyche of the Jewish people is vividly portrayed every year in the Jewish Festival of Purim. This was expressed very clearly by Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu when he addressed the US Congress in 2015 on the eve of Purim. At that time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked the role of the Obama White House concerning the nuclear deal with Iran on the day before Purim.

There before the House of Congress, he compared Modern Iran with Ancient Persia. The Jewish holiday of Purim today commemorates our victory over Haman, a resurrected evil Amalek prime minister to King Achashverosh in the Persian court.

Three years ago, then-President of Israel, Shimon Peres, a secular Jew who was raised and trained as a Roman Catholic Jesuit, and not known for his religious piety to the G-d of Israel, personally spoke to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef that the virulent anti-Semite, the former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the reincarnation into a modern-day Haman.

Yet Ahmadinejad was more than just a modern-day Haman. Ahmadinejad was Jewish, a virulent anti-Semite Jew, who was known by Rabbi Marvin Antelman, former Chief Justice of the American Jewish Supreme Court as a JINO, “Jew in Name Only”.

The Erev Rav: the Israeli Prime Ministers Shimon Peres, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert

It does not take a modern Persian Jew to seek to destroy the State of Israel. More explicitly it was the “Erev Rav” who created the “Golden Calf” and were dancing in orgy around their idol because they were too impatient to wait for Moshe to return down from the Mount called Sinai with the 10 Commands written as the Law of the Covenant.

Today, the Erev Rav, who live in the land of Israel are not just secular Jews like Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, but also those who hang their destiny not to piety to HaShem but like the former Prime Minister Arial Sharon who created the settlement movement a homeland for the Jewish people in Gaza and the region of Shomron and Judea. He was also involved in the creation of gambling casinos for his own financial mammon (financial wealth).

Sharon also tore down all the homes and their synagogues of 10,000 observant Jews in the Gaza Strip, in 2005 where they were a thriving community who grew bug free produce and flowers in nurseries to send to Europe and gave the Mediterranean Beaches back to the Amalek’s of today; the Hamas of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, the protégé of the infamous Yasser Arafat.

Queen Esther in the Persian Palace of King Ahashverosh (King Cyrus the Great)

Many numerologists have noted that the gematria, or numerical value of words based on Hebrew letters, of “Haman”, is 95. Is it comprehensible today that the Haman of ancient Persia was also reincarnated into the modern Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

The Jewish holiday of Purim commemorates our Jewish victory today over the evil Hamans of old. He was the imperial adviser to King Ahashverosh (King Cyrus the Great} whose real name was Darius I in the Persian court. Persia is today of course Iran.

As we have noted above, in the Hebrew biblical gematria, the numerical value of the Hebrew words based in the TaNaKh (Hebrew Bible) and applied to the gematria of the name of “Haman” is 95.

The name with the same gematria today is “Mahmoud” as in the name of the recent Persian Prime Minister “Mahmoud” Ahmadinejad”. That same name is also the cloned into the virulent anti-Semite, non-elected President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, who sought and was refused by the United Nations to give the Palestinians their own nation.

Today, Abbas is seeking to resurrect a Nation of Palestine by begging the new President of the United States, a Lost Ten-Tribed Israelite, President Donald Trump to finance and build an airport for the Palestinian peoples, to build them a port city on the Mediterranean, build them malls and shopping regions in the tribal homelands of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel in the mountains of Shomron and Judea.

President Donald Trump at the Kotel in Jerusalem

This past week, on May 22, 2017, after a visit with the Saudi Royal Family who are of Jewish ancestral roots, President Donald Trump with wife, Melania, flew to the State of Israel for a 24-hour visit. Their they were welcomed as royalty by the Jewish people.

US President Donald Trump (C-R) and First Lady Melania Trump (C-L) lay a wreath during a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum on May 23, 2017, in Jerusalem

It was there that President Trump visited and prayed at the “Kotel” the most sacred site for the Jewish people in Jerusalem and laid a wreath at the Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust Museum. He donned a kippa and gave a short speech outside the Hall of Remembrance where he laid a wreath together with first lady Melania and rekindled the eternal flame. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner also attended the ceremony.

Holocaust survivor Margot Herschenbaum was brought to tears at Yad Vashem after a replica of her late sister’s personal album was gifted to US President Donald Trump during his visit to the memorial. As President Donald Trump spoke:

President Donald Trump - “This place and this entire nation are testimony to the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people and the hope that light can shine the path beyond the darkness.”

Trump donned a kippah and gave a short speech outside the Hall of Remembrance where he had laid a wreath together with first lady Melania and rekindled the eternal flame. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner also attended the ceremony.

It was days earlier that Mahmoud Abbas met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office that he called Trump “insane” when Trump recommended to Mahmoud Abbas to stop all financial aid to the Palestinian martyrs and their families when they insist on daily targeting the Jewish people in Israel for death.

The hidden secret is the fact that the Palestinian Ishmaelites are a parasitic “Non-People” originally ordered by the Ishmaelite nations of the Middle East to take possession of the Land of Israel when the Jewish peoples announced their Declaration of Independence as a Jewish Nation rising out of the British Mandate on May 14, 1948.

At that time, the Nations of Islam attacked the fledgling State of Israel. They lost the war. At that time, the Palestinian “non-peoples” tried to return to the former Middle Eastern lands of the Ishmaelites after the war. What they discovered was the fact that all the nations and kingdoms in the Middle East refuse to accept them, support them, or claim them a one of their own Ishmaelite brothers. So:

First we have “Haman” the Agagite whose gematria is 95.
Second we have the hidden Jew, the former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who was a virulent anti-Semitic Jew whose gematria of his name “Mahmoud” was also 95.
Third we now have “Mahmoud” Abbas the non-elected President of the Palestinian Authority whose hidden mandated is to “Drive the Jews into the Sea” and whose gematria of his first name, “Mahmoud” is also 95.

On June 7, 2017, the Jewish people around the world will celebrate “Jerusalem Day”. This is a Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City of Jerusalem in the aftermath of the June 1967 Six-Day War... The following day, June 7, 1967 (28 Iyar 5727), Israel captured the Old City of Jerusalem.

Now 50 years later we can celebrate with them as the Holy City of Jerusalem is becoming more a more a “Sacred Place” where the we can perceive the divine emanations of elevated consciousness coming into our lives.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, who is a Lost Ten Israelite of Irish Illuminati fame flew first to land of Saudi Arabia, where the Saudi royalty still within their heart the sacred memories that they are of Jewish bloodlines. There in Saudi Arabia, President Trump and Melania were treated like royalty.

The next day, they landed at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport seeking to begin negotiations between the State of Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

President Trump needed to consider seriously that the Hebrew biblical gematria identified “Haman” the Prime Minister of Ancient Persia, who sought to exterminate the Jewish people in a Persian Holocaust was the first Holocaust creator. The Jewish people were saved by the intervention of the Jewess Queen Esther.

Today, American President Donald Trump is seeking also peace between the Palestinian Authority and the State of Israel but the Nation of Persia keeps seeking to create a new Jewish Holocaust.

Yet, Trumps presidential predecessor, the “Black Prince” of Islam was recently revealed within the hidden passages of the Zohar, when it predicted:

The Zohar – “A man, unsuitable to rule (the world), will be ‘brought to power’ in the very Last Days . . . there will be other men similarly undeserving to be leaders at that time.”

Are we prepared today, like the Pharaoh of old, to also find that there was an incarnation of the ancient Pharaoh of Egypt in the days of Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our leader and teacher) who the One G-d of Israel came and placed the Neshama soul of the Pharaoh of Egypt upon the “Black Prince of the Oval Office” while president of the United States of America?

Is Obama the modern holocaust creator who refused to accept his ruling mandate of the G-d of Israel to free the Jews from the clutches of the Ishmaelites? Did the G-d of Israel harden the heart of Barack Obamas so that his hidden agenda has been a constant threat of a new holocaust against the modern Nation State of Israel.

In the TaNaKh (Hebrew Bible), the ancient Pharaoh of Egypt was an obstinate ruler, who adamantly persisted in leading his best trained army to plunge into the boiling waters of the Red Sea. This historical Egyptian ruler left Egypt without a Pharaoh. With the death of his first-born son, the heir to the throne of Egypt, the largest empire of that era was without a ruler nor a protector.

If we look over Planet Earth’s landscape, the now former American President Barack Obama has many parallels to the ancient Pharaoh of Egypt. He does in hindsight appear to be the reincarnation of the ancient Pharaoh of Egypt, the largest empire of its age.

In our modern world age, the United States is clearly the largest imperial militaristic power on earth today. Yet, the former American President Barak Hussein Obama squandered the assets, power and might of the modern age leading the United States of America into virtual bankruptcy. During the eight years of his presidency, his suitability for the office of the President of the United States has dogged him ever since before he was elected.

Obama was thrust into the national spotlight when as a Junior Democratic Senator, he gave an untelevised keynote address at the Democratic convention in 2004. It was at that time that he introduced to the American nation the man who was his Secretary of State, John Kerry, a man who is arguably was better suited for the Oval Office but is equally a JINO (Jew in Name Only) and not a friend of Israel.

A senator from Chicago, Obama was unknown with no experience in many key areas, most notably the national economy and foreign policy. These two areas are today in shambles as he exited the role as the president of the United States. Another telling clue to can be found through Torah codes methodology. The name ‘Obama’ appears twice in the entire Bible, using the seven-letter-skip-forward pattern, which is considered to give the most significant results.

The first biblical passage which captures the name of “Obama” was discovered in the Book of Jeremiah 46:26-28, which verses deal with God’s promise to bring the house of Jacob back from Egyptian captivity. The name of Obama is contained within them.

Jeremiah 46:25-26 – “And I shall deliver them into the hands of those who seek their souls, and into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylonia and into the hand of his servants; but thereafter you shall have rest, as in the day of old – the word the word of HaShem.

It was right at the beginning of his presidential career that Obama was searching for his messianic destiny and discovered it with searching into the esoteric sources of the Divine. It was during Obama’s first presidential campaign that he made the seemingly insignificant promise that he would give a major address to Muslims from a Muslim capitol during his first few months as president.

Barack Obama in his famous “New Beginnings Speech in Cairo, Egypt on June 4, 2009

True to his word, on June 4, 2009, he made his famous “New Beginnings” speech in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. In that speech that he announced he would begin negotiations with Shiite Iran and would oppose Jewish settlements in the West Bank. He clearly landed on the wrong side of G-d, whom he does not listen to, and set out his destiny against the G-d of Israel.

Obama, like the Egyptian Pharaoh, his heart was hardened by the Divine to begin the division of the House of Ishmael and the House of Abraham.

Over the months and years, this Machiavellian Black Prince showed no regard to the American Covenant with the G-d of Israel, and the Constitution of the United States that was based upon the Torah’s universal principles of righteous government.

He quickly opened the gates of our national security to the Ishmaelite Persian enemy who negotiated with America while screaming “Death to America”.

As reported by the Pew Research Center, in the past 15 years, the United States has admitted 399,677 Christian refugees and 279,339 Muslim refugees into the United States. In the past year of 2016, 84,995 refugees entered the United States, effectively meeting the 85,000 ceiling set by the Obama administration at the beginning of the year 2016.

The Obama White House set the goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. in the fiscal year. This goal was exceeded, and refugee status was given to 12,587 Syrians. Nearly all of them (99%) were Muslim and less than 1% were Christian. As a point of comparison, Pew Research Center estimated Syria’s religious composition to be 93% Muslim and 5% Christian in 2010.

He soon began his debacle of secret destruction upon America as hundreds of thousands of Syrian Ishmaelites slowly, secretly began to infiltrate the American subculture and disappear.

The “Black Prince” unwittingly set off a cascade of geo-political events during his “New Beginnings” speech that cast the Middle East into a fiery inferno. Eighteen months after his “New Beginnings Speech in Cairo, Egypt, the winds of change cascaded around the world as the entire Middle East exploded into the “Arab Spring” in 2010 imploding many Islamic nations in its pathway.

It was in Tunisia, on December 17, 2010, Mohammed Bouazizi, a Tunisian vegetable peddler set himself ablaze in the town of Sidi Bouzid after his cart was confiscated by a policewoman, Tunisian municipal officer Faida Hamdy who slapped him and spat in his face.

The world stopped in shock as the decades of long-simmering frustrations over injustice, poverty and the greed of the political elite now began to spill across the Ishmaelite political landscape and the Arab Spring of 2010 erupted.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak

On February 11, 2011, the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was forced from the Egyptian office of the Presidency on February 12, 2011, as Egyptian demonstrators faced off with the Egyptian police in the Cairo streets leading to Tahir Square.

Hosni Mubarak becomes the second Egyptian ruler forced from office of the presidency after 30 years in power. The aftermath of the initial protest of a human torched body in Tunisia ricocheted throughout the Arab world. The protests continued to escalate throughout the Arab world.

With the use of Facebook, the protests that continued in Tunisia erupted with greater intensity and violence in the Nation of Egypt. Hundreds of the protestors died in the hands of the Egyptian security forces until the Egyptian army took reigns of the government. Amidst the wild celebrations in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, Mubarak was forced from office.

On February 15, 2011, the Libyan protestors revolted against the violent regime of Muammar Gaddafi. The Libyan protests then turn violent.

Protests that erupt in the east after the arrest of human rights lawyers quickly turn violent after the Gaddafi regime responds with massive force. Within three days, opposition supporters were now in control in Libya at the second largest city of Benghazi and the government began to see massive defections of his own military forces.

On March 14, 2011, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States sent a join expedition into Bahrain to give support of the Sunni Ali Khalifa monarchy secondary to a Shia uprising by the Shia majority living and working in the country.

On March 17, 2011, the UN Security Council passed a no-fly zone over the country of Libya as the military forces of Gaddafi closed in upon the second largest city of Benghazi. It appeared that the forces of Gaddafi were preparing to massively suppress the city.

Two days later NATO warplanes and missiles began to bombard Gaddafi’s army positions when the American Consulate was torched that lead up to the American debacle in Benghazi when the American Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean were caught in a fire-storm and lost their lives.

According to investigative journalist, Seymour Hersh, the Benghazi Embassy was a cover to smuggle weapons from Libya to anti-Assad rebels in Syria of which he cited a anonymous former senior Defense Department intelligence officer stated: “The consulate’s only mission was to provide cover for the moving of arms. It had no real political role.”

One day later, on March 18, 2011, the death toll in the Middle East expanded exponentially as extremism was blooming into an exploding cauldron. Demonstrations began to explode in the Nation of Syria where Syrian government military forces shot five protestors Deraa in the south of Syria.

Here started the uprising of the Syrian peoples against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Seven months later 3,000 Syrians were dead in a Syrian uprising and exploded into a civil war that by April 2016 the United Nations and the Arab League Envoy to Syria estimated that 400,000 had died, plus 50,000 children in the Syrian civil war by the spring of 2011.

Yemini President Ali Abdullah Saleh

On June 3, 2011, the Yemini President Ali Abdullah Saleh was wounded in a palace bombing in the capital city of Sana. Protestors arose by the thousands as hundreds of protestors were killed. He was evacuated but escaped for treatment in Saudi Arabia.

On August 3, 2011, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was put on trial as the political pressure mounted. Arabs across the Middle East watched the former dictator who ruled with a strong hand wheeled into court in a stretcher, along with his two sons, who were hated and despised by the Egyptian populous.

By August 21, 2011, the Libyan rebels were on the road to Tripoli, the capital city. The NATO’s bombing of Libya was under international attack and France under the rule of French President Sarkozy was under investigation of helping and assisting the escape of Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi fled to his hometown and birthplace at Sirte where he was later captured hiding in a concrete pipe.

Today, we can only look at the past with hindsight, and iconic memories. What we have seen is that over the years, Obama squandered the military protective shield around America. He began the secret process of opening the gates in the Middle East and promoted the rise of the militant Islamic forces seeking a New Muslim Caliphate in their bid to conquer the world.

Like the Pharaoh of Egypt, Obama’s behavior in addressing the rise of Nuclear Iran, he displayed a clear disregard in the nuclear negotiations with Iran and the world’s foremost anti-Semite, the Shiite Ayatollah of Iran, Sayyid Ruhollah Mūsavi Khomeini, known in the Western world as Ayatollah Khomeini, who toppled the 38-year Western Persian ruler, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1979 and transformed the Ancient Land of Persia into a Shiite Islamic nation.

Obama’s connection to the nuclear deal with Iran was only with obstinacy, as if a divine force was hardening his heart. His heart was hardening to the Jewish peoples

At the same time Obama was promoting the destruction of Syria with anti-Syrian militants with Shi’ite military warriors seeking to destroy the independent and proud Kurdish warriors to the north. He held within his heart the desire to collapse the entire Sunni Muslim states but also to destroy the Jewish State of Israel.

As such, akin to Obama’s Muslim faith, he would soon open a corridor to turn the entire Middle East into their long awaited messianic era as they wait for the Shi’ite messiah to arrive, the “One” called the “Mahdi” who by expectation will reign over Planet Earth.

The rise of ISIS and the rising Sunni Caliphate was controlled directly by President Barak Obama and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Here they provided the Shi’ite Islamic Nation of Iran with the diplomatic laxity to create nuclear weapons.

It is easily see the forces of the divine weighing down upon the former resident in the Oval Office in Washington as he donned the ancient stubborn behavior of the Egyptian Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus.

This time, Obama opened the gates for Ancient Persia to become a nuclear nation. He was persistent in making pointless attempts to deal diplomatically with a nation that has continued to openly state its wish and intention to destroy the western world. Such was the rise and fall of the iconic equivalent of the irrational stubbornness of the ancient pharaoh in Egypt in the face of divine intervention.

With the Pharaoh refusing to release the Children of Israel from Egypt when G-d hardened his heart, the Pharaoh made a decision that turned Egypt from being the leading military ruler of the then known world into a leaderless ruin.

Like many leaders of the past, Obama has his part to play in relation to the Jews and to the land of Israel. His role, foretold thousands of years ago, fits uncannily into the timeline of the messianic age, leading to hopes that despite the temporary triumph of Israel’s enemies, all will be defeated to bring redemption for the Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.

Obama clearly was courting the destruction of his own nation. He considered passing the Iran nuclear deal a victory even though it meant short-circuiting the Democratic process with a shaky veto and endangering the unity and future success of his political party, his country, and the doctrine of freedom and democracy which he claims to uphold. The naivete and weakness of Obama’s foreign policy decisions were on the precipice of the cliff hovering over the destruction and downfall of America.

Like many leaders of the past, Obama had his part to play in the final “dramatic act” of the “Drama of the Ages” in his relationship to the Jews and to the land of Israel.

Obama’s role, appears was foretold thousands of years ago, but only today we can see that it fits uncannily into the timeline of the messianic age, leading to hopes that despite the temporary triumph of Israel’s enemies, all will be defeated to bring redemption.

In the Bible, Pharaoh was recognized as such a leader, obstinately leading himself and his army directly into the Red Sea, leaving his country leaderless and without protection.

American president Barack Obama is a parallel pharaoh figure in today’s world. His suitability for the post has been an issue that has haunted him since before he was elected.

However, it is unnecessary to search esoteric sources to find this connection. During Obama’s first presidential campaign, he made the seemingly incongruous promise that he would give a major address to Muslims from a Muslim capitol during his first few months as president. True to his word, on June 4, 2009, he made his famous “New Beginning” speech in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. In that speech that he announced he would be negotiating with Iran, and opposing Israeli settlements.

His behavior connected to the nuclear deal with Iran was obstinate, as if a divine force was hardening his heart. He showed a clear disregard for national security, providing weapons and resources to Iran while they screamed ‘Death to America’ in the streets.

Providing such a country with nuclear weapons, and persisting in clearly pointless attempts to deal diplomatically with a nation that has openly stated its wish and intention to destroy the western world, is the modern equivalent of a Pharaoh’s irrational stubbornness in the face of divine intervention.

Like Pharaoh who refused to release the Jews when God hardened his heart, a decision that turned ancient Egypt from being the rulers of the world into a leaderless ruin, Obama was courting the same destruction of his own nation.

He considered passing the Iran nuclear deal a victory even though it meant short-circuiting the Democratic process with a shaky veto and endangering the unity and future success of his political party, his country, and the doctrine of freedom and democracy which he claims to uphold. The naivete and weakness of Obama’s foreign policy decisions may well mean the downfall of America.

Like many leaders of the past, Obama has his part to play in relation to the Jews and to the land of Israel. His role, foretold thousands of years ago, fits uncannily into the timeline of the messianic age, leading to hopes that despite the temporary triumph of Israel’s enemies, all will be defeated so redemption will come to all 12-Tribes of the House of Israel.

Deuteronomy 32:22 – “They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god (atheism); they have provoked Me with their vanities; and I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people (Palestinians) who do not have a nation; I will provoke them with a vile nation (North Korea).

For a fire is kindled in My nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world (She’ol), and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.”

************

The world is appears is turning upside down. We fear that we are losing our own destiny yet are heartened by the fact that the G-d of Israel has stated in clear unequivocal terms that he will protect his own.

For a fire is kindled in My nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world (She’ol), and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.”

You might want to visit the following BibleSearchers Reflection research articles as we watched with “eyes that can see” during the fall 2006 to spring 2007. The Bush White House was determined to finish and destroy the nuclear capacity of Ahmadinejad regimen in Tehran, Iran. It did not happen.

Along came Obama the Black Prince of the Apocalypse. He instead opened the gates of destruction awakening America to their continental destruction by nuclear destruction or by “global catastrophes” known as “Acts of G-d”.

The G-d of Israel chose otherwise and here again we are on the threshold of World War III as Obama’s America White House is now fading into history. NATO, United States, Russia and China are all posturing and positioning their political and military assets again in the Middle East. Has the “Appointed Time” of B’itah arrived in 2017 when we see Redemption come with G-d’s harsh and heavy hand?

You have now been exposed to uprising of the Arab Spring and the warring era between 2009 to 2017 as harsh realities are preparing to settle upon this earth.

You are welcome to revisit the anticipation of the “War of Civilization” during the years of 2006-2007 in the BibleSearchers Reflection articles, for the globalist’s expectations have not changed; but America’s White House presidential occupant has changed.

The Cosmic Pesach Drama during the Nazarene’s Death hanging on the Tree

Looking at the Death of the Prince of David called Yehoshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene) from the Perspective of historical First Century Judaism

(Church with the Upper Room and King David’s Tomb) with the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu over the site of the Palace of the High Priests, Ananias and Caiphas., the Site of Yehoshua’s Interrogation Proceedings

By Robert Mock M.D.

Written first in April (Passover) 2007

The Cosmic Anguish in Heaven

Nineteen hundred and sixty-seven years ago on April 5, 30 CE, the most cataclysmic and action packed drama occurred in the city of Jerusalem. There on a tree, some called the “Almond tree of Aaron’s rod”, hung the body of a young Jewish rabbi. He was discipled under the teachings of Hillel the Great and Menahem the Essene, the former Nasi (“President”) and Av Beis Din (“Father of the Court”) of the Great Sanhedrin between the dates of 30 to 20 BCE.

Joseph of Arimathea was a Jewish Roman Decurion whose final home was in Glastonbury in Cornwall, England and the Great Uncle of Yehoshua Ha Notzri

The young Prince of David Yehoshua Ha Notzri (Jesus the Nazarene) was a world traveler in His youth with his great uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, that Roman Decurion in charge by the Emperor of Rome to oversee the “Saracens” or Jewish miners at the Cornish tin mines in southern Britain. Joseph was also a member of the Roman Provincial Council of Judea and the esteemed Elder who apparently sat on the hereditary seat of King David in the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem as the most noble of the authentic Princes of Kings David and Solomon.

Now the greatest drama was almost over, or only just begun, as this young rabbi that had led a reformation to change the entire Jewish temple culture appeared to have been destroyed by the temple hierarchy of the House of Ananus and all their Sadducean kinsmen from the House of Boethus.

He had sought to change the religious attitude of the brooding Pharisees of the School of Shammai into a spiritual revival to elevate them to the “kingdom of G-d on earth” and the throne of His Father in heaven.

From a human point of view, this supreme sacrifice appeared to be a futile gesture of a failed mission for his only testimony was that he was to carry the “Good News” to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. Without such a mission accomplished, they could not open the gates to the Gentiles with the divine understanding about the G-d of Creation; who was the G-d of Israel.

Here was the dream of that great jurist, Hillel the Great, who as the president (nasi) of the Sanhedrin, sought to bring the concept of the Almighty One of Israel to the gentiles of the world, not just to the small remnant of the ancient Israelites who received their covenant at Sinai.

Had not this rabbi been proclaimed to be the messiah of his generation, not to the 70 Gentile Nations but rather he was sent by HaShem, his Heavenly Father to find Yehoshua’s Lost 10-Tribal cousins of the House of Israel?

Matthew 15:24 – “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael.”

Were these “Lost Sheep” not offered to come into a re-newed covenant relationship with the Ein Sof, the Unknowable and Unseen Almighty One of Israel, through His Only Begotten Son and emissary, known to the Jewish peasants as Yehoshua Ha Maschiach (Jesus the Messiah)?

Did not this rabbi receive the pronouncement of the Supreme pleasure of His Father in heaven where in a mikveh immersion in the waters of the Jordan River, he was baptized by John (Yohannes) the Baptizer, his cousin, an Essene and heard the words:

Matthew 3:17 - “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”.

Did not this rabbi follow the ways of Torah to the “letter of the law”? Did He not preach a message that “no jot nor tittle” will be taken away from the Torah?

Did He not also take the commands of Torah and follow them as a Hasidim, fulfilling not only the Torah to the letter of the law but beyond the letter of the law to their ultimate spiritual fulfillment?

Matthew 5:17-18 – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law (Torah) or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the Law (Torah) till all is fulfilled.”

It was his disciples (talmidim), patterned after the ancient schools of the prophets, that fulfilled the mission of the Essenes; formed an oppositional temple hierarchy that worshipped in the temple of Herod with a non-animal sacrificial ritual, and created the Nazarene Sanhedrin, named after their Master, Yehoshua Ha Notzri (called the “Nazarene”).

The Nazarene Sanhedrin gave governance in a manner that emulated the government of the “Kingdom of Heaven” that their Master lived, preached, and portrayed during His ministry in Galilee and Judea.

Antiochus Epiphanes IV – the Syrian Ruler who desecrated the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem

Now the angelic archons in the heavens along with the mighty seven archangels that commanded the seven emanations of the Divine to all the created worlds, hung their heads in suspense as they watched this inter-galactic drama between the emissary of the Divine One, who sent His Son on a rescue mission to the last or the remnant of His covenanted and chosen people.

Had the Jewish people not been co-opted and were now controlled by the globalist forces of Rome (Edom) with the “face” of Hellenistic Greece? Had not the Maccabean defenders fought over the desecrated temple, about one hundred sixty years earlier (40 x 4) prior to the birth of this babe destined to be their messiah? Did they not bravely fight to preserve the last vestige of Hebrew-Israeli culture from being destroyed by the Grecian tyrant, Antiochus Epiphanes IV?

The Grecian Desecration of the Temple by Antiochus Epiphanes IV of Syria

Was it not Antiochus who sought to eradicate the last vestige of Jewish covenanted culture (circumcision, Sabbath (Shabbat) worship and temple festival celebrations) and substitute it with Hellenistic culture in the city of Jerusalem?

Was not this Hellenistic culture absorbed into the Roman global force that was seeking to control the whole world? Are not these the same shadow pictures we follow closely today as the times of tribulation progress before our eyes?

This “Passover Drama” was ordained in the Supreme Council in Heaven before the creation of this orb in our solar system. While the heart of the true follower of HaShem, the G-d of Israel, yearns and seeks salvation, the idea of salvation is not man’s idea, it is the idea of G-d from the unfathomable depth of love for His creation.

Hebrews 1:1-4 – “G-d, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days (yamim acharonim) spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds (olamim); who being the brightness of His glory and the express image (sefirot) of His Person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels (heavenly Malachim), as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent Name than they.”

Salvation is not an experience for man. Salvation is the “door” by which salvation comes into the consciousness of man’s life and elevates us to a higher level of experience while at the same time opening our eyes to a divine reality on a much deeper level.”

There the mighty seven archangels that had been created in the Creation of the Spirit World now stood witness to that inter-galactic “Big Bang” that brought the unfathomable energies of the Divine One of the ten dimensions and ten emanations through the creation vortex like a divine black hole.

Here, through the Tiferet of the Sefirot, the Divine Image of the Almighty One of Israel became the “funnel cloud” by the creative powers of the “Father”.

Here the ancient sages of Judah in their mystical Merkabah journeys witnessed Metatron, (YHVH Elohim) the “‘Angel before the Presence’ of the Almighty One of Israel”.

In the seventh heaven, the other “Sons of G-d” that reigned as the Supreme Elders in the Council of the Universes (Revelation 4:4) also watched with bated breath. It was one of their own, Adam, who lost His seat in the heavenly council by Satan (HaSatan) who was now roaming this planet earth like a roaring lion. (Job 2:6, I Peter 5:8)

As HaSatan walked back and forth over the face of the earth, seeking to incite G-d against those who love Him (Job 2:9), the “Eyes” of the Lord G-d were roaming to and fro over the face of the earth showing Himself strong in defense of those who are loyal to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9)

Now this lifeless figure of Yehoshua was hanging on a mere splinter of wood in a manner of being accursed of G-d. (Deuteronomy 21:20-24) He was now trapped as hostage in this world of three-dimensional space.

As the Leader of the Angelic forces, their Supreme Commander of the Lord’s Host, Yehoshua now Metatron the Archangel (Joshua 5:14) hung breathless and silent as the planet convulsed in a global earthquake. The elemental forces on earth shook and raged in the World of Action (Yesod) and cried out in anger and fury.

The Jewish people earlier had cried out in adoration and acclamation as the real and living Pesach Lamb rode down the street of Jerusalem like a newly arrived king on the back of a donkey. They shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of our L-rd, Hosanna in the Highest!” (Matthew 21:9)

Now these same pilgrim followers cried and wretched in agony as they and the whole universe witnessed the fury of the Divine over the denial by the aristocratic Sadducee high priestly family of the House of Ananus and the whole Sadducean House of Boethus, Camydus, Cantherus, and Phabi. They were the unworthy descendants of their revered ancestor, Zadok, the high priest of King David. It was they and their adherents and accomplices, the Pharisaic disciples of the School of Shammai who conspired in killing the emissary and “Son” of HaShem (“The Name”), they called their Own, but rejected rather His own.

The Arraignment – A Travesty in Jewish Jurisprudence

It was a travesty of Jewish jurisprudence that the arrest and arraignment of Jesus the Nazarene (Yehoshua haNotzri) even occurred. It would not be until this modern era after the rise of National Israel that we would see such a travesty in justice when Jewish national leaders, called the “Erev Rav” would ally themselves with Rome and turn against their own orthodox Jewish brethren.

Today this has been replicated when the globalist government of Israel selectively began marking for elimination the orthodox rabbis who honor the Torah and decry the western economic stranglehold on the Jewish Nation of Israel.

Is not this the same government that cast out the Torah observing Israeli families from their homes and businesses in Gaza in hopes for peace with Hamas (“violence” in Hebrew) and the Arafat’s Palestinian protégées, the modern Amaleks of today?

The testimony is clear that the Jewish temple leadership feared this Davidian rabbi called Prince Yehoshua ben Yosef (Jesus the son of Joseph) as stated in the historical record:

Mark 11:18, 12:12 – “And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching…And they sought to lay hands on Him but feared the multitude for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left and went away.”

Luke 22:2 – “Now, the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called, Passover. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.”

The power that Rabbi Yehoshua wielded in Jewish religious and political life was phenomenal. Yehoshua was only a potential nuisance to the Sadducean temple leadership and Shammaite Pharisees if His mission was kept in the regions surrounding Galilee.

Here was the nesting ground for Hashmonean royal aspirants and the hotbed for rebel revolts by the Davidian princes of the lineage of Kings David and Solomon were fighting against the Roman government rule.

When the ministry of the Nazarene moved into Judea and Jerusalem, the Davidian Prince Nazarene became a rival to the power and authority against the corrupt Sadducean aristocracy who held the rights to the high priestly temple authority.

He boldly challenged not the authority but the hypocrisy of the Shammaite Pharisees who set up rigid standards on how to follow the Torah, but did not follow their own standards.

These were the same disciples who had usurped the mantle of spiritual authority in the Land of Israel from the Pharisee disciples of the revered Hillel the Elder and Menahem the Essene.

Ananus the Elder was probably the “young priest”:

Who notified the high priest in Jerusalem of the non-orthodox appearing pregnancy of Mary and Joseph.
Ananus was the high priest in 6 CE when the young Prince Yehoshua went on his bar mitzvoth year Passover and was questioned by the chief priests and elders of Judah.
It was later Ananus the Elder, who was the father-in-law of the high priest, Caiphas, who sentenced Prince Yehoshua to death.
Ananus was the father of Jonathan the high priest who sentenced Stephen the deacon of the Hebrew Nazarene Ecclesia to death.
Ananus the Elder was the father of Ananus the Younger, the high priest who now sentenced Yehoahua’s’ brother, James the Just, to death and had his bludgeoned body thrown over the temple parapet to the Kidron Valley below.

The House of Ananus (House of the High Priest Ananias the Great) had created the greatest money laundering business in the eastern regions of the Roman Empire along the Mediterranean Sea Seaboard.

It was also the most corrupt Jewish government in Jewish history as some rabbis have proclaimed, till the final era of earth’s as they descended into the 49^th level of degradation, called Tuma. The vast wealth that flowed into the Temple of Herod was totally within their hands.

When Yehoshua for the second time strode into the temple and threw out the money-changers (Matthew 21:12; Mark 11:15), the entire buying and selling of oxen, sheep and doves halted in the temple Bazaars of Hanan. It was a political attack at the heart of the entire corrupt temple economic culture.

The “Erev Rav and the “Golden Calf culture” had risen again, this time not at Sinai but in the heart of the House of the Lord. The Erev Rav, called the “mixed multitude, at Sinai had again returned as Jewish leaders, pandering after their Edomite (Roman) overlords, so that the gold of the Jews would buy them power and prestige with the Roman government.

We are first introduced to a young priestly scribe, Annas, who appeared on the religio-political scene as the accuser of Mary’s apparent conception outside of wedlock. He cast doubt on the former “temple virgin” as whether she had broken her vows and now deserved to be stoned to death.

During the era of this temple scribe, Ananias, who would later become the High Priest of Israel, was also living in the same era in which the young and orphaned Princess of David, Miriam, the grand-daughter of Jesus II the High Priest and the daughter of Prince Alexander III Helios who also was a Prince of David and was also a Maccabean Prince, known as Prince Alexander Helios (Sun) as recorded in the historical Book of Luke called Heli.

The High Priest and the Davidian prince were both on the “wanted list” to be exterminated by the long arm of justice of the paranoid and evil, King Herod the Great. It was King Herod the Great who sought to destroy every Prince of David in the ancient land of Judea earlier called Roman Palestine (not Arab Palestine) for inciting rebellion against King Herod.

This was because Rome wanted the Land of Israel and the Princes of David who became the oppositional leaders against King Herod and Rome from having complete control over the ancient Roman Judea.

In this highly contested region of the world, a young Davidian Jewish Prince Joseph (Yosef) became the father to a young Davidian Princess, Miriam, whose maternal grandfather was Jesus III the High Priest (Yehoshua III Ha Kohen Hagadol) in the Temple of Herod in Jerusalem. Is it any wonder that Yehoshua was so popular in the 1^st century CE at the height of the 1^st century Temple of King Herod culture?

These facts may shock some people to know that Jesus III, son of Fabus or Fabet or Phiabi, was also Joshua ben Fabus the High Priest of Israel, He was known as Yehoshua Ha Gadol or Yehoshua III the High Priest. Jesus III the High Priest was also the grandfather of the young Davidian Prince called in modern times, “Jesus of Nazareth”.

It is also profoundly true that the era of King Herod and the 1^st century CE swirled around the highly sought and contested Prince of David called “Jesus of Nazareth” for it was he who was now also potential heir to become the High Priest (Ha Gadol) in the Temple of King Herod and a potential heir to the Throne of Kings David and Solomon in Jerusalem.

These amazing facts depict that the young Davidian prince, Yehoshua, rejected the kingship and instead became a classical rabbinic sage whose words of divine wisdom are more known than any other Jewish person on 1^st century Judea.

It is true, the first High Priest during the Great Emancipation of the Jews by King Cyrus the Great at the beginning of the temple service in the Temple of Zerubabbel was Yehoshua I Ha Kohen Hagadol (Jesus I the High Priest) as written about in the first chapter of the prophetic Book of Zechariah.

About three centuries later after the inauguration of the Temple of Zerubabbel, the Davidian Princess Miriam (Mary, the mother of Jesus) was confronted by a young temple scribe and almost caused her death for charging her for breaking the strict rules that governed the dynastic conception of the Davidian heirs apparent to rule over the House of King David. Even more severe, she was charged with breaking her Torah vows.

By the time of the young Davidian, Yehoshua’s bar mitzvoth, if our name similarities give us our link, this young priest called Ananias had now moved unto the throne of the high priest.

Ananias’ family was a powerful high priestly family, the son of Seth, the grandson of Boethus, of the House of Zadok, the high priest of David. Ananias (Ananus the Elder) became the founding father of the powerful Sadducean family that bribed and purchased the possession of the office of the high priest and kept it within their family for the next forty four out of sixty years until the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple of Herod.

By graft, bribes, power, and influence, these families of the aristocracy bought and sold the office of the high priest from the Roman government. They in turn made the Office of the Procurator in Caesarea one of the wealthiest appointed Roman authorities in the entire empire. For the next fifty years, the House of Ananius the High Priest and the House of Davidian family of Jesus would struggle for the heart and soul of the Jewish
people.

To comprehend the significance of the historical importance of Jesus the Nazarene, we must understand the drawing power of His charismatic spiritual message. The most fervent followers of His resided in the southeastern corner of the city of Jerusalem on the crest of the Mount called today, Zion. Here in the Essene Quarters was the Ultra-Orthodox haven called the “Third Party” of first century Judaism. Radical, mystical, pious, apocalyptic, and sectarian, the Essenes have always remained a mystery.

The “Last Supper” in the House with the Upper Terrace

The Essenes for centuries truly had been an enigma. They were cloistered in reclusive communes from Damascus to Qumran along the Dead Sea, upwards to Galilee and down into Egypt. The messianic vision in first century Judaism was driven by the apocalyptic dreams of the Essene mystics. These same Essene mystics were highlighted in the Destination Yisrael article, titled “The Qumran Essene Traditions of Enoch and Metatron as King Messiah”

The comprehension of the Essenes of the higher realms of the heaven was far more advanced than the Sadducee and Pharisee culture who were seeking power, greed, and control in the Temple culture of the era of King Herod the Great.

The Essene Quarter in Jerusalem had its own gate so that purity laws of cleanliness could be kept to its fullest details. The guardians of the Essenes had the primary mission; to protect the Tomb of their forefather King David and to protect the sacred lineage of any Davidian heir that could be the potential future messiah and heir to the throne of David. The Nazarene was one of those Davidian prince heirs whom the Essenes guarded with watchful eyes.

Is it of any wonder that the site for the beginning festivities of the Passover for Yehoshua and his disciples (talmidin) was selected under such mysterious circumstances? They were to watch for a male “water carrier” who would lead them to the secret and sacred spot later called the House with the Upper Room. Here is the first clue; in first century Judea. Essene males did not carry large water jugs on their head. That was the role of the women.

As the disciples were being shown to the upper terrace where they would celebrate, they scattered so as not to be noticed, for this event was kept in strict secrecy and known to only a selected few.

In the tradition of the Jewish Pesach festival, that morning, Simon bar Jonah (Simon Peter), Yohannes (John), and Yacov (James) went to the temple bazaars to purchase a lamb. Nowhere was the Rabbi to be found. Then they, with the other disciples along with thousands of Jewish pilgrims, streamed into the Upper City with their lambs and kids, in haste to fulfill the commands of the Lord.

There they entered the Temple of Herod and went to the court of Israel. Up the fifteen steps to the Nicanor Gate, and through the large opened bronze Hekel doors they could see the temple trumpeters blowing their silver trumpets in proclamation that the time for the slaughtering of the lambs had come. Beyond the Nicanor Gate, in the court of the Priests, a great fire was burning on the Great Altar that was erected before the Holy Place of the Temple.

Behind the priests with their silver shofars irradiated by the gleaming sun, were two long rows of Levites, dressed in shimmering white linen garments. These two rows went from the place of sacrifice in the court of women to the Great Altar and back.

As permission was granted, the pilgrims entered with their sacrifice, two by two, and were ushered to the other side of the Court of Women to perform their sacrifice. Two of the disciples, Peter with the lamb, and John, carrying the knife, approached the place of sacrificial block.

In route, they walked pass the long rows of Levites that were passing, hand to hand, golden beakers that were broad at the mouth and narrow at the rim. As Peter laid his lamb on the sacrificial block, the priest quickly slit the vessels of the neck. One drop of blood fell into the golden beaker. The rest of the blood drained through a hole in the sacrificing block down the drains lined with lead from the Mendip mines in Cornwall, England to the garden district below the temple.

Then the golden beaker was passed, from Levite to Levite, until it reached the officiating Priest standing before the altar, who sprinkled it on the great fire. When finished, the golden beaker was sent down a second row of Levites back to the place of sacrifice.

Yohannes, now with the lamb, wrapped in a sheet, resting on his shoulder with Simon bar Jonah behind, left the court of the Priests and walked down the three steps to the court of Israel. In route, they passed by musical ensembles of priests with hand harps, timbrels, and flutes raising their voices in adoration to the Almighty One of Israel as the blood of the lambs was sprinkled on the great altar.

Below in the Court of Men, the rest of the disciples of the Prince of David, Yehoshua HaNotzri called the “Nazarene”, bowing their heads in worship and adoration singing, “Hallelujah, praise ye the Lord, praise Him, His servants, praise the name of the Lord” in antiphonal rhythm with other pilgrims singing, “Praised be the name of the Lord from this day for ever and ever.”

Following the narrow streets of the Lower City, they went to the Mount called Zion. There they found the unknown man posing as a watercarrier. With a sign of recognition, separately, they entered unnoticed, one by one, into the house with the upper terrace, prepared to cook the young lamb on the three-legged stove while enjoying the beautiful vistas of the entire city.

Another unusual event was occurring. As strange as it may seem, the entire terrace of celebration was fully prepared for its noble guest and disciples. In secrecy, with no one else was in attendance, the disciples were to spend the afternoon in celebration with their Master. When the Master finally arrived, the historical drama began to unfold.

How He arrived, or when where He came from, will also be left untold. What is known, Yehoshua was a hunted man. The temple rulers with their hired servants and spies were on the lookout for the Rabbi of Galilee that the high priest had warned with a veiled threat would be at the Pesach celebrations.

John 11:47-54 (parts) – “Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, ‘What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take

away both our place and nation.’ And one of them, Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them, ‘You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish?

Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Yehoshua would die for the nation and that He would gather together in one the children of G-d who were scattered abroad. Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death. Therefore, the Nazarene no longer walked openly among the Jews…”

Hidden in the guarded section of the Essene District, the Master plus His twelve, ascended a shielded flight of steps that led to an upper terrace, in accustom to the building styles of the region. Over the terrace was a canopy of thin bamboo rushes with a tapestry of dried out palm leaves forming a canopy of protection from the elements of the sun and rain, and a protective panoramic view of the holy city of Jerusalem.

The temple was to the northwest. The walls of the city were to the south and east. The Palace of Herod and the Praetorian of the Romans was to the north and northwest.

The Palace of the High Priest was nearby, outside the Essene Quarters, to the west on the slopes looking down upon the Kidron Valley below. From there, an elevated walkway went from the palace and the homes of elite to the temple complex, to shield the aristocracy from the masses of peasant rabble below. Here the Prince of David Yehoshua would be kept in guarded protective custody of the guardians of the Tomb of David, and shielded from the eyes of any prying onlookers below.

Upon the patio terrace, preparations had been made by a third party of unknown secret followers of the Nazarene. Silk tapestries and curtains were hung over and shielded the patio fence. Towards one end of the terrace, a canopy was erected where beneath a couch was placed for the Master with reed matting as places to sit for the twelve disciples.

Planks of wood on risers formed a low table that was overlaid with fine coverings. Vessels for food, earthenware cups for drinking. Per secret tradition an alabaster vessel was strategically placed on the table as a gift from His uncle, the Prince of David, Joseph of Arimathea, the rich man in Jerusalem. It was he who as the leading Prince of David of his age, sat in the hereditary seat of Kings David and Solomon as an esteemed “Elder” in the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem.

Glastonbury in Cornwall, the final home of Joseph of Arimathea

Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy Jewish magnate who was a metal merchant with the contract from the Caesar of Rome. He mined lead and tin in the mines located in the Cornwall coast of Ancient Britannia, by ancient Jewish miners called Saracens in mines called “Jew Huts” for lead and tin were the strategic military metals needed for the Roman Imperial War machine who sought to control the nations of the world.

Specially prepared fresh unleavened matzah was laying upon an earthenware pottery with greens and herbs to dress the meal along with baskets of fruit. Bowls of water were carefully placed for the ceremonial washing of the hands.

Earthenware basins with amphora of water was placed nearby for the washing of the dusty feet. Delicate spices were sprinkled on the napkins and handkerchiefs. Incense was lit in a covered dish, nearby to the Rabbi’s couch. The lamps were trimmed with oil.

Everything was carefully and meticulously prepared in loving attention to exact and specific details by what we can only suspect to have been the disciples of Nicodemus and the servants of Joseph of Arimathea.

Was the Last Supper a Pesach Meal?

Per one scholar, the “Last Supper” was not a Pesach meal for its non-halakhic Torah atmosphere during the meal, precluded such a fact. There was no Korban lamb that was eaten and the bread was “sopped” during the meal which suggested that it was leavened bread.

John 13:26 – “Jesus answered, “’It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.’ And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.”

This may have been a preparatory meal for the upcoming Passover to plan for the Passover celebration. It would truly become the “Last supper” that Davidic Rabbi called the “Nazarene” would eat with his talmidei before leaving his 3-dimensional body and returning to his 4^th dimensional elevated state of messianic consciousness when later His glorified being began to glow in later encounters like the ancient Edenic Light Beings called Adam and Chavah (Eve).

Here Yehoshua only lifted up the third 3^rd Passover Seder cup, the cup of redemption. He then proclaimed that the next time that He would return to this planet earth, He would share the 4^th Passover Seder cup with them. At that time, they would celebrate that moment when G-d “would take His own people” and redeem them again into the Promise Land at the “end of days.”

When we read in the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, it suggests that the Passover meal was the Last Supper, yet the Gospel of John states that the messianic Prince of David, Yehoshua Ha Notzri was crucified before the Passover.

Matthew 26:17 – “Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover.”

Mark 14:12 – “Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, ‘Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?

Luke 22:7-8 – “Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed.”

John 13:1 – “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Yehoshua (Jesus) knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Yehoshua, knowing that the “Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from G-d and was going to G-d, rose from the supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.”

As our knowledge of the first century Provincia Iudaea (Province of Judah) matures, we begin to find that the controversies of how to observe the Torah (halakha) were as dynamic as they are today. Maybe this is one reason, Torah sages suggest that in the “days of Jesus”, as it is today, the state of spiritual connection with the G-d of Israel was in the lowest state of spirituality, or at the 49^th level of Tuma.

Halakhah (how to keep the Torah commands), though rigid, was not universally observed by all. As such, in the days of Yehoshua, (Jesus, Joshua) at least three, and possibly four different times, the Passover Seder Seders were held. These times were accepted respectfully by the Sadducees, the Pharisees, the Essenes, and the Jewish pilgrims from the Galilean and the Babylonian Diaspora.

The first solution, according to Kenneth F. Doig in the article titled, “Doig’s Biblical Chronology – Exact Dating of the Exodus and Birth and Crucifixion of Jesus” (Kenneth F. Doig, New Testament Chronology, Lewistonw, N.Y.: Edwin Mellen Press, 1990) suggests that the Jews of the Diaspora did observe two Passovers.

The second solution suggests that there were two different calendars, the “sunset” calendar of the Pharisees and the “sunrise” calendar of the Sadducees.

The third solution suggests that the Last Supper was held on the solar Jubilee Calendar of the Essenes in the Synoptic Gospels. In John’s (Yohannes) own account, the Last Supper was to have held according to the lunar sunrise calendar of the Sadducee Temple calendar.

Then there was a fourth solution, that the “Passover” was an idiom, or a figure of speech that included the Passover as the whole week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

It is interesting that on Thursday, April 6, 2007 that Pope Benedict XVI did testify during his homily on ‘Holy Thursday” during the Mass of the Lord’s Supper at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the following:

Pope Benedict XVI – “"In the narrations of the Evangelists, there is an apparent contradiction between the Gospel of John, on one hand, and what, on the other hand, Matthew, Mark and Luke tell us.

Per John, the disciple of Jesus, the Nazarene died on the cross precisely at the moment in which, in the temple, the Passover lambs were being sacrificed. His death and the sacrifice of the lambs coincided and collided.

This means that the Prince of David Yehoshua (Joshua) died on the eve of Passover, and that, therefore, he could not have personally celebrated the paschal supper, at least this is what it would seem… Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples probably according to the calendar of Qumran, that is to say, at least one day earlier -- he celebrated without a lamb, like the Qumran community who did not recognize the Temple of Herod and was waiting for a new temple."

He went on to suggest that “Yehoshua” may have celebrated the Passover according to the solar calendar of the Qumran Essenes, who always celebrated their Passovers on the eve of Wednesday (Tuesday evening). The fact that the Essenes were vegetarians, is also suggested to be accepted by the Synoptic Gospels as part of the narrative of the Last Supper.”

It was in February, 2005 that BibleSearchers Reflections posted a series of articles titled, “Study in the Israeli-Vatican Diplomatic Relations that will Lead to the Prophetic Fulfillment of “On that day, all Nations will Seek to Surround Jerusalem.”

The lead article was, “The Vatican Seek to Reclaim its Own – “The Church with the Upper Room”. In this series of three articles, was the detailed historical summary of the Roman Catholic bid to take control of the holy sites in Jerusalem. The first bid was take possession of the Church with the Upper Room that was transformed into its present Gothic architectural structure by the Franciscan monks in the 13^th century.

When Ariel Sharon resisted, and refused to turn the title of the building that housed the “Church with the Upper Room” plus the Tomb of David to the Roman Catholic Church in the winter of 2006, he found himself put into the state of the “living death” in the Israeli Hadassah Hospital by the “avenging angel of the Lord”.

On October 25, 2005, when Vatican came calling to the President of Israel, Moshe Katsav, and Katsav refused to deal with the Vatican, by July 2006, allegations began to surface that led to the threat of indictment against President Katsav of sexual harassment, breach of trust, obstruction of justice, and fraud.

Are we seeing the Vatican making the appearance of returning to their Jewish roots to complete the bid to divide the city of Jerusalem, finally take possession of holy sites in Jerusalem, and eventually the entire Temple Mount?

The History of the Passover

Behind the Railing, the Ancient First Century Maccabean Pathway felt used by Yehoshua and His Disciples
– Photo by Robert Mock

As early as 1550 BCE, the Hebrews living in Egypt were in the throes of a major catastrophic era that catapulted them into to a new era: redemptions from slavery and restoration to the Land promised to their forefather, Abraham. This was the land of Canaan in the land of Israel today.

On the day of redemption, when the “blood” of the slain lamb was sprinkled on the door post, the “first born” of that family was saved from the avenging angel of death passing over Egypt. The march to a new life also began with eating of the paschal lamb on that first Passover. While the Passover is HaShem’s Passover (Exodus 12:11, Leviticus 23:5, Numbers 28:16, and II Chronicles 35:1), we can also call it the Hebrew’s Passover.

Almost a thousand years later, the remnant of the Hebrews was being redeemed from their 70 years of bondage in Babylon and Persia. Here the Judeans (Jews) from the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin returned to resettle Jerusalem. Now, new ways of observing the Torah festivals were instituted and with it the Passover Seder as we know it today.

The modern Torah Seder is not the same that the Hebrews observed while in Egypt and the Sinai desert. Babylonian influence, such as the Seder egg, crept into the more primitive Palestinian Seder rites that soon disappeared after being augmented by the influence of the Babylonian Haggadah. In a way, we can call the modern Passover Seder a Jewish festival where the instructions on how to practice or perform this Seder is spelled out in instructional manuals, called “The Haggadah”.

Was it not the commands of the Go-d of Israel at Sinai, who stated?

Walking further down the Ancient First Century Maccabean Pathway from the House of Caiaphas to the Kidron Valley

Leviticus 23:5-6 – “On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord.” (See also Numbers 28:16-17)

When Moshe (Moses) was in Egypt, he was given special instructions that the Israelites were not to hold a festival in the land of Egypt. Therefore, Moses went to the Pharaoh seeking permission to go to the land of Goshen so that the Israelites could a festival.

Exodus 5:1 – “Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, ’thus says the L-rd G-d of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”

Why was such a strange command given by G-d to Moses? Was it His divine purpose just to say, “I won’t permit it?” The reality appears that HaShem, the G-d of Israel did have a divine purpose for He intended to deal with the Pharaoh, the representative of Egypt’s divine god, Ra, person to Person. He did not want the Israelites to become involved, so that none of them would be hurt or killed.

A festival by the Israelites in Egypt would have been offensive to the Egyptian priesthood. The festivals would have been celebrated with animal sacrifices and grain sacrifices, yet the Egyptians worshipped the animals and the grains as their deities. It was these deities that the Israelites were going to sacrifice to the G-d of Israel. Such an act would have been detestable with the Egyptian priests of Ra and could have provoked the death warrant for Moses and many Hebrews.

Exodus 8:25-26 – “Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, ‘Go, sacrifice to your G-d in the land.’ And Moses said, ‘It is not right to do so, for we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to the L-rd our G-d. If we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, then will they not stone us? We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the L-rd our G-d as He will command us.’”

Was not the goddess of Hathor in Dendura portrayed as the sacred cow? Was not the sacred bull that was worshipped as Apis, the actual embodiment of Ptah, Atum-Ra, and later Osiris to the Egyptians?

These bulls were housed in the temple for their entire life, then embalmed, and given their funerary rites while being encased in giant monolithic stone sarcophagi in the Serapeum at Saqqara.

Even the grain sacrifices of the Hebrews would have been offensive, for Nepri was the grain god, Ermutet was the goddess of the crops, and the jackal-headed Anubis was the guardian of the fields. Above all, was Osiris, a member of the Egyptian sacred trinity, was the god of agriculture. Now the Israelites were going to sacrifice the Egyptian gods to the Almighty One of Israel.

Yet, the Passover was held in Egypt. Why? The Passover was a memorial, not a festival, to an event that occurred in Egypt. It would also point to a more profound event that would occur in the future. The mood of Passover was symbolized by pain and suffering. On the afternoon of the 14^th day of Nisan, the Hebrews were to sacrifice their favorite unblemished lamb, the best of their flock.

For the Hebrews, who did have faith (emuna) in the sovereignty of their G-d, the blood of this lamb was to literally “save” the firstborn sons of their family and the firstborn of all their sheep, goats, and cattle. It was take a lot of faith, emuna, to believe their Sovereign G-d in asking them to do such an incomprehensible task; slay the lamb, take the blood and put it on the doorpost of their dwelling and their firstborn sons and animals would be saved from death.

The shadow-picture in Egypt to the Israelites was now about to see its complete fulfillment sixteen hundred years, or 40 generations later. Only a few hours after the Last Supper, the “Only Begotten” firstborn “Son of G-d” would be impaled, like the Korban lamb, His blood splattered on the upright wooden tree (stake) so that all the world, who had “emuna” (faith) in the sovereign One G-d of Israel would be saved from eternal death.

John 3:16 – “For HaShem, the One G-d of Israel so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For G-d did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.

************

Seeing is believing! For over 2000 years, the world has been affixed with the drama of those few years of time that a single solitary Prince of the esteemed dynastic lineage of Kings David and Solomon shook up the then known world at that time.

His life literally became a “Drama of the Ages” that evoked such a passion in the lives of not only the entire peasantry class of Jewish people, but his fame swept across the entire Middle East changing and transforming all the inhabitants of that era.

It has been stated in hundreds of different cultures that the world as we know today would be totally different if it were not for this one life, for out of his one life, one who was a Neshama Yehudi (Jewish soul) affected so many variant cultures that out of his spiritual loins rose Three Major Religions of the world; Judaism, Christianity and over six hundred years later Islam.

The era of man is standing now on the brink of the seashore waiting to be passed through the inter dimensional veil of the “World to Come.” The day is coming soon when we will break through that inter dimensional barrier and stand on the beach of a “New World” and a “New Age” as the rising Light of the age called the “Era of the Messiah” raises to its glorious manifestation.

The day is coming soon when Hashem the One G-d of Israel will stretch forth His great hand of judgment and cleanse the earth from the great pollution of man upon Planet Earth. He will take away the “blood oaths” from between the mouths of the Palestinian Arabs, He will restore the Land of Israel back to “Am Yisra’el”, that means both the House of Joseph (All Ten Tribes of the House of Israel), and the House of Judah.
