The Messiah's Lineage & the Big Lie

The Messiah’s Lineage & the Big Lie

Hello dear friends,

I understand that most of you consider yourselves to be secularists in spite of the fact that the current secularism frequently contradicts itself by embracing New Age mysticism.  In our post-modern environment few sophisticates dare stain their reputations with institutional religious affiliations.   Yet, the reality is that most of you have some type of sentimental attachment to the ritualism of your fathers & IF  there were occasion for you to succumb to religious reversion many of you would probably choose the faith of your childhood.  But we all come from different backgrounds in terms of belief.  Certainly ALL ways can’t be THE way to truth (although the emergent global faith presupposes such ridiculousness).  There are certain factors I’m going to ask you to consider here that may yet inspire you to courageously launch an in-depth investigation into, both, what you were taught to believe early in life & what you believe currently.

First let me explain what motivated the writing of this particular letter.  Something interesting was revealed to me while I was exploring Judaism on the internet last week.  I came across a video in which a rabbinic Rabbi was detailing the reasons Jews do not believe Jesus of Nazareth could possibly have been the Christ.  The most egregious point of evidence for this rabbi had to do with the fact that the Jewish messiah would have been required to descend directly from the bloodline of King Solomon, son of King David, & through the paternal lineage only.  This disqualifies Yeshua on two counts: 

First, Yeshua received his genetic link to King David through his maternal lineage.  

Second, Yeshua received the Davidic bloodline, not through David’s son Solomon, but through Solomon’s brother, Nathan. Luke 3:31

Understanding this crucial bit of Judaic perspective flooded me with the insight to “see” at last.  I was finally able to connect the dots.  Allow me to explain.

To begin I need to provide a quick review of biblical history.

1.  God promised David that the Messiah would come through his bloodline.

1. King Solomon, son of King David, built the first temple for God,

Solomon’s Temple.  After it’s dedication the Lord spoke both a blessing & a curse to Solomon.

1. Sadly, Solomon forfeited the blessing & incurred the curse:

1. In His wrath God left Solomon’s son, King Rehoboam, with only one of the

twelve tribes of Israel over which to reign, that being the tribe of Judah.

Now I’ll explain Christianity’s reasons for accepting that Yeshua was indeed the Christ.  First let’s review a couple of points.

–God promised David that the Messiah would reign as king upon the earth.

–King David & King Solomon were of the tribe of Juda.  Thus, in order to inherit the kingship, the Messiah had to be born a Judean & he had to be generationally descended from the kingship line of Solomon.

But this poses a great problem.  The Messiah is supposed to reign over ALL the earth.  However, Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, lost the major part of his kingdom.  Did God lie or change his mind & ultimately bestow the heritage of eternal kingship upon Solomon’s seed anyway?  Must we then, for this reason alone, continue to await the Messiah’s first coming?  Not if the following scriptures are credible:

This is how Christians see the issue resolved:

–Yeshua was born of a virgin.  Therefore only his mother, Mary, could have provided the bloodline back to King David, which she in fact did. 

(Refer to Luke 3:23-38)  Her genealogy does NOT, however, lead to David through Solomon & his descendants but, as I mentioned earlier, Mary’s ancestry passes by way of Solomon’s brother Nathan & his descendants.  The problem remains that this bloodline inheritance does not satisfy the kingship requirement. 

–The lineage of Joseph however, Yeshua’s stepfather, does resolve the kingship issue since Joseph was descended directly from the dynastic line of Solomon. (Refer to Matthew 1)

Now I imagine that some of you may be conjecturing as to whether these are sufficient legal grounds for passage of the generational scepter.  However, before you continue along that vein, consider the alternative.  Would you want to suggest that when God spoke his admonishment to Solomon that He didn’t really mean it?  Solomon was an egregious idolater.  If you’ve read the Old Testament (Tanakh) you know God NEVER lets that one slide.

Now while all of this may seem academic, it really isn’t.  I’ve got a point that I promise you will find extremely interesting & potentially life altering.  Just bear with me a little longer.  I’m almost there.

About 3 months ago a synagogue in my vicinity advertised that it was welcoming visitors from the local community to its Friday night/Saturday morning services. 

I of course went ready to learn & learn I did.  What I encountered was confirmation of something I formerly believed to be only false rumor—that contemporary Judaism was heavily immersed in satanic mysticism.  The congregants spent just about the entire meeting singing/chanting Kabbalistic poetry.  The reason I know this is that the author of each poem was credited in English footnotes in the Hebraic songbook we were using.  Most if not all of these authors were from the Israeli city of Safed, evidently a Kabbalist vortex. (I’ve included an attachment on Safed that I encourage you to read carefully.) Why do I call Kabbalism satanic?  Please read on:

Kabbalism embraces ALL of these practices.  Now the big question: Just where & why did the Israelites go wrong?   Let’s begin with the fact that there are many people calling themselves Jews who are in fact NOT Jews. 

So who are these infiltrators?  Where did they come from? And what, if any, is their agenda?  I am aware of 3 instances when other peoples were merged into the Jewish community. 

1.         The first integration was when the 10 northern tribes of Samaria were taken captive into Assyria.  The Assyrian leadership sent citizens of their pagan society to repopulate & care for the plundered Israelite city.  When the pagans arrived in Samaria they encountered wild animals that were so ferocious & bold that Samarians were being slaughtered within the city itself with terrifying frequency.  In response to this dilemma they requested that the Assyrian leadership restore a team of Israelites to their homeland for the express purpose of educating the pagan settlers as to how to placate the God of the Israel.  This mixture of peoples of course resulted in a pagan-monotheistic faith combination.  As Christ said to the Samarian woman by the well,  “Ye know not what ye believe.”

1. Centuries later, the Medo-Persian Empire had replaced most of the Assyrian territories. The Jews remained, but not without enemies.  The story of Esther found in the Old Testament explains the second mass conversion.  (This is the story behind today’s Purim celebration.  The book of Esther is only about six pages, so I urge you to read it for yourselves.)  In a nut shell what happened was that in order to avoid an armed conflict with the Jews, many people of the land pre-emptively converted to the Jewish faith.

1. Eventually the Grecian Empire supplanted that of the Medo-Persians.  At this point in history a remnant of the tribe of Judah had already returned to Jerusalem.  The rebuilding of, both, the temple & the city in general should have been essentially completed.  However, the Grecian Emperor, Antiochus, resented the division that the Jewish faith was causing within his territory, so he commanded that a pagan statue be erected within the temple itself.  In response, an 80 year old Judean man led a band of revolutionaries to slaughter the Grecian soldiers who were in the process of executing their emperor’s decision.  This man & his sons, whose surname was Maccabee, retained leadership roles in an armed conflict that lasted about 2 years, today known as the Maccabean War.  After winning back the independence of Jerusalem, the Maccabean victors imposed a forced conversion upon all those that remained in or near the city.

This is enormously significant to understand since the Edomites inhabited Idumea, a city near Jerusalem that was embraced by the Maccabean compulsion.  Knowing who the Edomites are is crucial.  Don’t give up yet.  Stay with me.  This is part is BIG!

Abraham, first father of the Israelites was a Syrian to whom God made several promises:

–that he would give Abraham’s descendants the land of Caanan

–that they would be as numerous as the stars of heaven

–that through them all nations of the earth would be blessed

Abraham begat Isaac to whom the promise was passed. Isaac in turn begat fraternal twin sons, first Esau, which means “Red”, then Jacob.  During the pregnancy, Rebecca, Isaac’s wife, asked God to reveal why she was experiencing unusual discomfort.  It was revealed to her that “there were 2 nations warring within her womb & that the elder was to serve the younger”.  Rebekah never forgot this revelation.

Esau, being the eldest, had birthright status to claim God’s promise.  However, the story goes that one day he was so hungry following a hunting expedition that he allowed Jacob to purchase his birthright for a bowl of soup.”

Nevertheless, due to his position as eldest son, Esau retained eligibility to receive a blessing of favor from his father.  The day came, when his father was old & blind, that Isaac was finally prepared to administer this blessing.  He requested of Esau that he first hunt venison & make him a stew.

While Esau was departed, Rebekah manipulated her son Jacob, whom she believed to be the most deserving son, into pretending to be his brother so as to receive the blessing in his stead.  She quickly prepared a stew using cattle meat & sent Jacob to his blind father.  Isaac did indeed become convinced that Jacob was Esau & proceeded to give the blessing.

When Esau returned from the hunt & discovered that his blessing was lost as well as the birthright he was furious & begged Isaac to also give him a blessing.  Isaac’s response was as follows:

Eventually Isaac did give Esau a blessing.  I suggest you read it very carefully.

(Incidentally, I’m well aware that the story of Esau & Jacob is a difficult one to digest from a moral perspective.  However, fortunately, much of the confusion as to why Rebekah did what she did is cleared up in the apocryphal book of Jasher.  Since Jasher is referenced in the Old Testament proper, I consider it both safe & valuable.)

Of course Jacob managed to escape & went on to birth the nation of Israel, but this war between brothers has not finished.  It can be evidenced again & again throughout biblical & historical texts.  The final book of the bible, Revelation, suggests that it won’t end until the last of the last days.

Armed with this understanding, perhaps it’s now easier to digest what happened in the time of Christ.  Most biblical & historical scholars accept that the Roman Empire which came to power in about 27 B.C. had an excellent working relationship with the Edomite population that called themselves Jews.  For this reason, Herod, an Edomite, was given the kingship over Jerusalem. 

It’s often erroneously assumed that the Pharisees & leadership were simply unaware of Christ’s divinity when he walked the earth & for that reason they genuinely regarded him to be a blasphemer that needed to be stopped. Consider something to contradict that assumption–Herod’s reaction to the prospect of the Messiah’s birth.  Please read on:

That’s not the reaction one would expect from a lover of Jews, is it, to kill their long awaited Messiah?  Understanding that the “Jews” in power were actually Kabbablist practicing Edomites struggling to prevent salvation of their Israelite cousins serves to bring this picture into much clearer focus.

Several other considerations I’d like you to ponder:

There’s a current rumor that over 40% of Jews genetically screened thus far have NOT been found to be Jews at all but rather (Turkish & Russian) Khazars.  Prior to this (possibly valid) genetic corroboration, I had read that the migratory patterns of the Edomites suggested they were indeed the Khazars.  If you are able to evidentially support or deny this information, please do so!  But it certainly is something to investigate.

The popularization of the Messiah as being descended from King Solomon is being fiercely promoted today outside of Jewry as well.  Specifically it is embraced by Luciferians &, believe it or not, Rastifarians.  Why the Rastifarians you ask?  Because they believe King Solomon impregnated the Queen of Sheba & that she was able to uphold the Solomonic Dynasty somewhere in Africa.  Could this have anything to do with the intuition of many that Obama is the long awaited Black Messiah?  You decide.

Several months ago I sent most of you videos in which a Messianic Rabbi explained how he came to believe that Yeshua was the Christ.  This rabbi hinges much of his conversion process upon a more intimate understanding of

Psalm 22 in which King David prophetically describes Yeshua’s crucifixion, detailing the piercing of his hands & feet.  The rabbi explains that the original Hebraic text could have been translated in two ways.  However, it is only the translation of the crucifixion that makes sense.  Please read the following translations & see for yourselves:

The second version makes far more sense, doesn’t it?  More importantly, it’s precisely because the Tanakh had been translated into Greek (the Septuagent)

about 300 years before the arrival of Christ, & also well before the Romans had even devised the crucifixion as a means of corporeal punishment, that Christ’s visit to earth was recognized as a prophecy fulfilled.  This verse had a significant impact upon the pagan intellectual elite, causing mass conversions in many nations.  The big question is why the possibility of this translation was obscured from the authentic God-fearing Israelite population.

The last consideration I’ll present here has to do with Zionism & the fact that the Orthodox Jews who denounce it have been silenced repeatedly since the state of Israel was founded.  I recommend listening to the various videos in which these people discuss their biblical reasoning on youtube.com. 

(Punch in:  anti-Zionist religious Jews)

Upon examining the glaring corruption within our various Judeo-Christian institutions, we’re inclined to place the responsibility upon reasonable human frailty.  While misguided human intentions always matter, I’m asking you to consider that we also have good reason to believe masses upon masses of sincere seekers & defenders of the faith have been steered off course for reasons that were nothing less than maniacal & purposeful.
