Goring begins with ‘horns of re’eim’ among untribed Apache

Posted on by

EDITOR’S NOTE: Rabbis have long held that the Christian interpretation of the “re’eim” as a “unicorn” is impossible and have opted for the “wild ox associated with Joseph.” In the American Southwest and particularly the Sacred Four Corners area where Joseph-East M’nashe has settled and remained in covenant, this animal is unquestionably the buffalo.

Buffalo horns instrument of covenant

between Native, non-Native ‘Joes’

at East Gate of Sacred Four Corners

WALSENBURG, COLORADO – Starman and Lioneagle lift two buffalo skulls overhead, offer sacred tobacco and pray to Grandfather in the six directions of the Apache star. A shell from one of these buffalo horns will use the hand of Cryingeagle to dip into water, which will pour onto glowing grandfather stones in the darkness of inipi (purification lodge). Thus, untribed Apache descended from still-covenanted East M’nashe are used of Creator and His Creation to begin to “gore” the “thousands of M’nashe and the myriads of thousands of Ephraim” together with the “horns of the re’eim” (Deut 33:17).

Still under the influence of Shabbat Torah study the previous day, Starman and Lioneagle choose a large, 80-pound, five-sided grandfather to represent the Books of Moses. Offering more sacred tobacco – the Apache equivalent of the p’tum ha-ketoret (or incense used in the Jerusalem Temple) the two raise this grandfather in a sacred manner also turning it to the same six directions to which Orthodox Jews wave their Feast of Tabernacles bundles. All present mimic this diligent search for Creator turning toward each direction while praying with sacred tobacco.

‘Rock of Torah,’ Judea-Samaria highlight ‘grandfather council’

The “Rock of Torah” is placed on a cradle of larger diameter cottonwood branches. The elevated cradle, which forms a floor for fire to burn from below and through to heat the grandfathers, is arranged in a sacred manner inside a deep, stepped and circular fire pit.

The 50th grandfather laid atop the rock pile with the Rock at its base, is oddly shaped, Starman notes. Its porous, volcanic and raised 3D contours resemble the outline of the mountains of Judea-Samaria! That is appropriate as well for this inipi (sometimes irreverently called a “sweat lodge).” Rockets fired by Hamas from the Gaza have been striking southern Israel the previous week. Israel is responding with surgical attacks but there have been civilian casualties. It appears that the Middle East is about to explode. The Birthright territories of Joseph are again in the news and blogs. Smiles is half Palestinian. Lioneagle has a son whose Jewish mother lives in southern Israel. A third member of the community has friends in Egypt. And the Torah study the day before taught about the separate and incompatible “le’um” of Jacob with the people Obadiah wrote would be occupying Jacob’s possessions when Jacob would be returned to them: The House of Esau.

The grandfathers are prepared to hold their fiery pre-inipi council within a tipi covered with a skin of thick, peeled cottonwood bark over piles of more kindling and under layers of split cottonwood slabs.

‘I am the re’eim who gores nations together’ – ministering Buffalo spirit

Meanwhile, Cryingeagle positions the buffalo skulls on an altar made of a small mound of earth midway between the fire pit and entrance of the inipi. Shells of the horns fit like sleeves over the two points of each skull. Sage bundles, which have a way of spontaneously igniting depending on the direction of spiritual winds, are stuffed into mouth, nose and ear openings of the skulls. All remember the lodge poured the Sunday after Simhat Torah (the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles), by Running Buffalo when those nostrils did flare with fire: “I am the re’eim who gores the nations together,” the ministering Buffalo spirit explained in inipi, that day.

Between the horns of the buffalo, no longer silent about his identity and role as the “re’eim,” Cryingeagle lays the community’s holy channupah. After the inipi, the Apache community will draw smoke (but not inhale it) from this sacred pipe, wash with it and blow it in the six directions.

A golden eagle named ‘Aaron’ awaits arrival of Condor

Cradling the channupah between the horns of the re’eim is the wing of a golden eagle known before it flew into the World To Come as the priestly, “Aaron.” The wing will later be passed inside the inipi circle allowing all to momentarily take symbolic shelter beneath. “Aaron” will administer buffalo, bear and eagle medicines and as an interceding “tzaddik,” (with one wing in this world and the other in the World To Come), will petition on behalf of Lion relatives and other beasts of the field growing restless in the current drought. Aaron’s wing will wash the two-legged in the lodge with the smoke of sage, cedar and braided sweetgrass. Because these Apache reside at the eastern gateway of the Sacred Four Corners, there is also a special connection the Eagle, Aaron, makes with the Condor commemorated weekly with the smoke of the Azteca medicine from the copal root. And when the heat is especially intense, Aaron will “fly” around the inipi and hear cries of mercy while his wing stirs up the heat and adds to the suffering.

Tenrivers realizes fruit of labors

Jimmy Tenrivers, the first sundancer among these untribed Apache, who started this very inipi in his back yard some 15 years ago, fittingly arrives on this day Torah is honored. The fruit of this spiritual elder crippled in first a car and then a motorcycle accident more than 25 years ago, includes most everyone in the lodge. He was also the first Native American spiritual leader given a sample by an emissary from Jerusalem of the more than 600 pounds of a substance identified as containing 11 of the 14 ingredients that comprise the ancient pitu’um ha-ketoret (incense used in the Jerusalem Temple).  The “incense,” was found under 37 feet of fill and stored in pits carved out of bedrock  in a cave excavated north of Qumran.

Eighty-year-old Uncle Shorty, a Navy veteran, arrives to take out the grandfathers used the last inipi and clean and sweep the inipi firepit assisted by Cryingeagle’s young son.

‘Unseen Hand’ lends fiery council first spark

Hollowbone, one of the first to attend and promote the Shabbat Torah study at Eldersgate American Indian Council, arrives with others from the community who live near the Sundance site located some 26 miles away and a few thousand feet higher into the Rockies. Finally other drummers and sundancers including Tenrivers‘ son arrive. All watch as an Unseen Hand uses Cryingeagle to lend the fiery council its first spark.

Almost immediately, the flames jump through the carefully prepared tipi … a very good sign. While the grandfathers begin their council of fire, the warrior-society elders, sundancers, singers and drummers and their women and children gather around a father drum left in the care of Cryingeagle by a fellow sundancer.

Drummers sing, chant permutations of Divine Name

The drummers and singers offer sacred tobacco on the drum, painted with the face of a bear. Starman flips his Native Pride cap so the bill faces back of his ears and begins pounding the drum. Soon, a dozen drumsticks, most padded with bear hair, join in a steady beat directed by the Starman’s vertical chops with his free hand. Seven songs are sung. All contain chants permuting Y, H and W consonants with various vowels. Since “remembering” in Torah that this is the Divine Name reflecting Creator’s attribute of Justice tempered with Mercy, these Apache are living evidence of the Covenant of Mercy with Hashem (Grandfather). This day is yet another reminder since of the 50 grandfathers, one will remain in the fire so that 49 “elders,” the number of judgment tempered with mercy, are the fiery teachers today.

Migration research locates East M’nashe at Four Corners

Recent migration research links especially the Navajo and the five nations of the Apache among 38 Athap(b)ascan Language Group nations to the warriors and assimilated Gershonite priests of Israelite East M’nashe. (See reprint of Ancient American magazine article, “Israelite East M’nashe traced to Four Corners,” at www.torah-voice.org/AAcovermarch2011.htm.) If so, East M’nashe was never removed from its covenant . These frontier warrior-priests were exiled 17-23 years before the “House of Israel” residing west of the Jordan River entered their prophesied exile.

The King of the Northern Tribes also paid a tribute to the King of Assyria so that Assyria would not invade west of the Jordan at that time. So the terms of Yizra’el, Lo-ruhamah and Lo-ami, — a scattered seed without mercy disowned by God — in Hosea 1 severing the covenant with the northern House of Israel, apply not at all to East M’nashe as they apply not at all to the Southern Kingdom, the House of Judah. It is possible that the 7,000 from the Northern “House of Israel,” who did not bow their knees to the ba’alim, (pagan gods of wood and stone) about whom Elijah was told, came from his own country and stomping ground: The Gershonite priests of Gilead and warriors of East M’nashe. These Apache evidence they are part of the “preserved of Israel” of Isaiah 49:6-8. Consequently, the spiritual work is one of “restoration” to Torah and “remembrance” of mercies, and not a “new” covenant.

Sundance draws out independent, untribed Apache

Among the House of Joseph, East M’nashe was the most separated and among East M’nashe, the most separated “nation” appears to be untribed Apache who obeyed their prophet, Geronimo. They did not surrender and go onto reservations. Instead these descendants of Geronimo and his chief Membreno warrior, Victorio, fled into the Rockies and eventually mixed with the mountain people. The regathering started when the Sundance was brought to southern Colorado about 12 years ago. The dance has drawn out these independent-minded but unaffiliated and untribed Apache who have reassembled as a people, just as Geronimo prophesied.

Under the banner, “Iglesia de Aztlan,” (assembling of Aztlan), the sundance is also attracting Aztec from the South country. Hopi medicine man Emory Holmes, who gave his blessing to Tenrivers and Lioneagle for the work of hosting elders, said the Aztec are a Hopi clan who instead of returning to their homeland in the north set up another civilization in Mexico and Central America. However, the Aztec literature, songs and dramas are about returning to the promised Aztlan, the Aztec homeland somewhere in the Four Corners area. Coupled with the promise to the Hopi connected with their migrations across Turtle Island, “America” became the promised homeland of the Latino descendants of the Hopi long before anything “American” existed.

Many believe this will be the arrival of the Condor to unite with the Eagle, an ancient Native prophecy. Another Oglalah Sioux prophecy states “just before great fires will sweep the Plains, that a place will be prepared in the mountains (Rockies) for elders to come from which to steward the healing of the land.”  Wilson, a sort of renegade Oglalah medicine man who rode a Harley, spent his life seeking Grandfather about this place for the elders. The “Buffaloman” as he was known to his friends before his death in 2007 wound up living near Walsenburg, Co., the eastern gateway of the Sacred Four Corners. Traditionally, elders meet in eastern precincts, explaining why the revelation of the horns of the re’eim may have been given to these particular Eastern Gate Apache. Many of them also know they are being prepared to host elders.

Covenant between Creation, humanity under way in Native inipi

The judgment of the Ten Tribes (sans East M’nashe) written in Hosea 1 is in part remedied with the covenant outlined in Hosea 2:18-20. This covenant with “the beasts of the field, the birds of the air and the creeping things on the earth and to end the sword, bow and violence in the earth,” is weekly celebrated/accommodated in the Native American inipi. It is “evidenced” with the suffering that comes when the horns of the re’eim “gore” or dip into water and pour onto the glowing grandfathers. This and the preparation of the fire are the only human hands in this sacred ceremony – given to a people whose stream of Israeli-priesthood was never cut off and which predates Orthodox Judaism by more than 200 years!

Otherwise, Creation speaks directly through the suffering and inner-reflection that occurs in inipi (which means to look “inside” or “within” one’s spirit). In a pitch-black, steaming womb of Earth framed by 16 sacred willows, the natural and basic elements of fire, water, wind and stone combine to “covenant with” and “humble” human beings. Just what the Good Doctor ordered for Ephraim.

All bow low to the ground before entering inipi and declare, “Hoa (pronounced as a Hebrew furtive patah, “Ah-ho”) mitakuye oyasin,” or “To all of my relations.” This includes the four-legged, winged and other aspects of Creation, free to speak in Native inipi through human beings, the insights communicated from and while suffering.

Judah needs Joseph and Joseph needs a humble Ephraim

Especially in need of humility are the “myriads of thousands of Ephraim,” infamous in the words of the prophet Hosea for their pride and arrogance. It appears that Grandfather has decreed the only family of Joseph never removed from covenant – the descendants of shibboleth-speaking M’nashe who lay claim to the n’zirei Yisrael  (preserved of Israel of Isaiah 49:6-8) — to “gore” together Ephraim with sibboleth, M’nassah. Or perhaps the goring is to reconcile Ephraim with (East) M’nashe. If the latter, this covenant would reconcile groups who could loosely be called, “Cowboys” and “Indians.” Regardless, the House of Joseph must get its house together before it can think of reconciling with the House of Judah as per Ezekiel 37 “on the mountains of Israel.”

The House of Judah would do well to recognize and expedite this reconciliation since those mountains (Judea-Samaria), comprise a large part of the Palestinian state proposed according to the pre-1967 borders and usurp the biblical Birthright. And as it all plays out, until that biblical curse is remedied, the economy of the entire world suffers. Sages have long written that to deal with the House of Esau, Judah needs Joseph. It seems now that the world needs Joseph.

Priestly authority indicated with heavy incidence of extra Y in males

Also, in the Four Corners area the incidence of the extra-Y chromosome occurring in indigenous males is 20 to 24 times greater than anywhere else in the world including among population samples that are totally Jewish., although similar large concentrations have recently been located in Africa. This may also be due to the early assimilation of Gershonite priests with East M’nashe warriors. A priestly sect mixed with Joseph and never removed from its covenant should have some spiritual authority and voice in the disposition of the Birthright of Joseph and is certainly deserving of Levitical tithes.

In this inipi, Torah is honored and seeds of prayer are sown and sung with suffering while permuting the Divine Name with the awareness of covenant mercies associated with the Divine Name. From a people never removed from Covenant, but being “restored” to its understanding, this is powerful medicine.

Apache lodge follows Lakota tradition, OK’d by Lakota elder

The prescribed Lakota songs — the lodge is poured by sundancers who follow the Lakota traditions — like Hebrew songs are prayers to these Apache, who will sometimes ad-lib with their ancient Apache lodge songs.   These are being revived as Tenrivers, Cryingeagle and Cryingeagle’s daughter — a rising vocalist — learn and teach them to the people.  But every lodge opens with the traditional Lakota songs calling to the six directions for Wakhan Tanka (the Sacred Spirit) drummed on bear and elk hides stretched over hollow cottonwood frames.  The lodge also has been visited, scrutinized and embraced by a Lakota sundance intercessor who pours his own lodge for Native American Air Force personnel stationed in nearby Colorado Springs.

One of the pipe-loading songs — and the sundance piercing song which Uncle Shorty always adds to his prayers — begin with a series of Yah’s and Hey’s, which invoke the Wah.  Hebrew sages have called the Wah, “the ruach ha-Kodesh”  (or the Sacred Spirit) in the Divine Name.

Suffering intensifies for community’s prayer

During the third round, when the suffering is probably the most intense, the entire community prays one at a time in order … and silently prays that no one is too long-winded. After each audible prayer the re’eim gores and upwards of 130 degree steam from the grandfathers momentarily kisses all the sufferers, who usually pray for needs of others ahead of themselves.  In addition to prescribed Four Directions, Spirit Calling, Prayer and Exit Songs, each round usually includes other songs, each of the four rounds.  Each song is short but is sung four times, the suffering growing with each repetition.

Tenrivers prays for the Condor and Eagle to unite and blesses the Torah study and work of Eldersgate. Cryingeagle testifies to the Divine Name and its entitlement to Covenant mercy. Starman petitions for the humility through which blessings can flow. Lioneagle prays for food for his mountain lion brothers who have been spotted foraging in the alleys of Walsenburg. And all give a hearty “Hoa (Ah-ho)” when petition is made for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the future role these Apache may play as Creator’s hand to “gore” together even the Israeli and Palestinian nations. See “Israelis, Palestinians and Apache, Oh My,” at www.torah-voice.org/blog.

Cryingeagle judges from the moans and cries and intensity of prayer the moment when all declare “Aho mitakuyasi” (All my relations) and the flap of the inipi is thrown open.  All inside are offered an exit, but none leave. All are offered water, women first, but some refuse.  Between rounds the sufferers recline on Unci Makha (Mama Earth), who true to the FEMININE Hebrew noun – adamah – used to describe her, believe Mama to be alive.  At the same time these Apache were given the revelation about the re’eim’s identity as the “buffalo,” they learned “the Song of Moses.”  There, Mama is one of the two witnesses who carry out the Judgment for not obeying the Torah; the Heavens being the other.  But for now, Mama is a refuge between rounds onto Whom the sufferers recline and find temporary relief getting to know Her “intimately.”

‘Hot kisses’ from the Rock of Torah at final goring

Finally the last round when almost all of the strength of the inipi community is drained, all find it in them somehow to sit up as the last grandfathers enters.  Starman has saved for the last, the Rock of Torah, which fittingly takes two firemen working together in unison to maneuver on pitchforks into the inipi. The entrance is closed shutting out all light except the glowing grandfathers. It’s five-sided smile is unmistakeable as are its hot kisses as the re’eim gores away at the Sitra Achra (Opposing Side) dividing Joes and Joes and Joes and Jews.

See also “The Heavenly Sign for Which the World Awaits,” at www.torah-voice.org/pleiadesstarcluster.htm which parallels the “horns of the re’eim” with a recorded change at the time of the flood of Noach, in the star-cluster, “Pleiades” that could right itself and form a Cocav David (Star of David). If this should occur, the cluster forming the six-pointed star would have a blue hue in the night sky. Did Jesus of Nazareth refer to this as “the sign of the coming of the son of man … as in the days of Noach?” Is this the awaited Hopi “blue star” to end the Hopi religion?

Also, the exact words of this prophecy are closely guarded but the “Constellation of the White Buffalo” draws a White Buffalo comprising a shoulder (which pivots the horns) ALSO from the Pleiades, a backbone from Orion’s belt and the tail from Sirius.

War … in the absence of Ephraim

Leadership by ‘House of Israel’ in exile

can prevent more war, lead to peace

The head and crown region of biblical ‘Judea-Samaria’ are the possessions promised to the non-Jewish children of Rachel more than 2,700 years ago.Head and crown outlines ancient Birthright of Joseph in the fields of Samaria and the fields of Ephraim.

The prophet Jeremiah writes of Rachel, beloved wife of Jacob and mother of Joseph and Benjamin, weeping for her children because she fears they no longer exist. But in His attribute of Justice tempered with Mercy,Grandfather promises Rachel “your children shall come again to their own border.” (Jeremiah 31:15-18)

This remarkable cry of Rachel who rested in a tomb apart from Jacob 800 years before Jeremiah “hears and records” her intercession, is sandwiched between references to Ephraim, as the “bechor” (Firstborn entitled to the “bechorah” – Birthright) in verse 9, and as a young bull unaccustomed to the “yoke” of Torah in verse 18.

The House of Joseph

Rachel’s intercession links directly to the progeny of her youngest grandson through her firstborn, Joseph, but indirectly to all of the non-Jewish “House of Joseph.” This includes the Manassah of eastern Asia found by Rabbi Eliyahu Avichayil mostly among the Shinlung of Burma and Thailand; and East M’nashe (so far linked to 38 Native American tribes, including the five nations of the Apache and the Navajo. See reprint of Ancient American magazine research at www.torah-voice.org/AAcovermarch2011.htm). Benjamin is also part of Joseph’s house defined in spiritual terms since the divining cup of Joseph was found in his sack. Benjamin’s divided loyalties between the House of Joseph in the north and the Jerusalem Temple in Benjamin’s Jerusalem precincts means Benjamin exists today among both the Jewish community and assimilated Joes.

Where is the voice of the Firstborn?

The Firstborn with the voice of the Firstborn and who was given the Birthright (the head and crown region depicted in the picture-story in the outline above, generally known as the “fields of Ephraim and the fields of the Shomron) ” is Ephraim. Where is Ephraim? Should theologians view this dramatic change in the Middle East as the “propitious time” for Ephraim to come out of exile to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian quagmire?

The best evidence of Ephraim‘s whereabouts comes from Jewish scholar Yohanan Hevroni ben David (John Hully) who established Ephraim’s identity as the Beit ‘Omri (House of Omri) in Assyrian exile. ‘Omri was a northern king who was respected by the Assyrians for his military prowess.  More than 100 years after his death, the people of the Northern Kingdom of the House of Israel were called by the Assyrians, “the House of “Omri.” But outside of the land of Israel, ‘Omri is pronounced Gomeri. The prophesied intermarriage and assimilation between a Hebrew family from Shem and the Gomeri from Yaphet, begins to fulfill the earliest biblical prophesies by Noach that the descendants of Shem and Yaphet would somehow dwell together. (Genesis 9:27, 10:2)

Ezekiel 37:22 states that the Houses of Judah and Israel will be reunited “on the mountains of Israel.” The only mountainous region aside from the small Carmel range near Haifa and the Sinai now in the hands of Egypt is “Judea-Samaria.” The recent rocket attacks from Gaza indicate that the Palestinian leadership cannot be trusted with high ground.

The Torah forbids Israel to intermarry among the nations. Only the Jewish and Native American communities have remained relatively intact.  The assimilation of Shem and Yaphet then occurs through the exile of the Shemite Northern Kingdom to the lands of Gomer in Ancient Assyria.

Linguistic clues ID ‘Ephraim’ as ‘Kymri‘ (Cimmerians)

Linguistic research has identified the Beit Gomeri as the Cymri (Kymri) or Cimmerians, when the name passes through Greek and English. These are the root stock of the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic peoples who settled — after traversing Europe — primarily in the Scandinavian countries to the north, and along the coast of Normandy before crossing the British Channel to populate Scotland and Kymri (Wales). The Cimmerians also populated Ireland. This means that the non-Jewish House of Israel is loosely described as the descendants of “Cimmerian” settlers across Europe and the colonization of and by Europe in the Americas and around the world. In other words, Ephraim is a multi-national, multi-ethnic people fully assimilated into every culture, language and people around the world.

Ephraim was/is also the biblical “group name” for all of the Northern Tribes of Israel in their exile. True to the prophecy of the example of the marriage of Hosea and Gomer, Ephraim has been scattered to the four winds, without mercy and totally disowned by God. The transition of Grandfather’s relationship to the Northern Tribes is telling in Hosea 1.

The Covenant Name of Mercy

He still is heard by His Divine Name connoting the Attribute of Justice tempered with Mercy when Jezreel is named, (literally the “seed God will scatter”).  Jezreel (Yizra’el in Hebrew) also evidences a change of the name “Israel” to mean “scattered seed.”

Lo-ruhamah (Without Mercy) is a name given when Grandfather’s relationship changes from the Divine Name connoting Justice tempered with Mercy to “Elohim” (God) or He in His Attribute of Strict Justice. The same relationship exists when the third child, Lo-Ami “Not My People” is named.

That connection to the Mercy of God remained for Israelite East M’nashe, however, whose exile occurred from 17-23 years prior to that of the remaining House of Israel residing west of the Jordan. This is evident with the permutations of the Divine Name, (the Hebrew consonants Y,H and W and H) sung and drummed with different vowel sounds among virtually all Native tribes. Ancient Hebrew sages say this is the name of Grandfather when He deals with Israel according to the terms of His Covenant, “Justice tempered with Mercy. “ The name of Mercy is known by those never removed from His covenant, the House of Judah and East M’nashe.

‘Unaccustomed to the yoke’

The name of His Strict Justice is known by those renewed or restored to His covenant (largely via the Church). But true to Jeremiah’s prophesy this branch of assimilated Ephraim has either disdained or never fully returned to the Torah  it once counted “a strange thing.” As a bullock unaccustomed to the “yoke of Torah” Ephraim within the Church abandoned its Torah foundation. Clearly, however, Jesus was sent to these scattered sheep and not the faithful of Judah or East M’nashe because these had no need of a renewed or repaired covenant, Instead, exile makes Restoration of the understanding of their original covenant paramount.

Attack commemorates 21 years of stopped ears

The Israeli attack in response to hundreds of unanswered Gaza rockets until last week marked the 21st anniversary of the Madrid Peace initiative. During those talks, “The speech nobody heard,” which tied the Torah read during the 8 days of those talks to the subject of the talks was published on the religion page of The Jerusalem Post. Israel’s choice of last week to retaliate means that same speech is still relevant because neither the Israelis nor Palestinians have heard or taken to heart.

‘Speech Nobody Heard in Madrid’ outlines biblical peace, contiguous Palestinian State

Repeated by demand from Above are the essential facts, now made crucial with the destruction wrought by this war. Strategically, Israel may be preparing for a confrontation with Iran by first exhausting the supply of Hamas missiles and perhaps Hizbullah missiles. Or is Hamas causing Israel to expend its expensive Iron Dome defense capabilitities? Regardless, the human dimension to this war and its outcome dictates a contiguous Palestinian state with permanently established BIBLICAL borders conditioned upon the end of the violence and bloodshed and on agreement that the modern Jewish state has a right to exist – The Zechariah Plan. See www.torah-voice.org

The two readings from the Torah during the Madrid talks, emphasized that the tomb purchased by Abraham for his wife Sarah cost him way too much silver but he did not object.  Instead, Abraham made it clear to the Hittite from whom the tomb was purchased that it would be an “ACHUZAT kever.”

Arab confederacy claims possession of ‘ne’ot Elohim’ (tombs) in Israel

Achuzat is a Hebrew noun from the verb achaz which means to “grasp or hold” something. So the tomb was a burial (kever) “hold” and an early LEGAL entitlement of the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to the land promised their descendants by Grandfather. Others are the tombs of Rachel, the site of the Jerusalem Temple and a field purchased by Jeremiah at Anatot, a northern suburb of modern Jerusalem. Also, the “Kever Yoseif,” at Nablus, which was ancient Sh’chem. The tomb of Joshua, a descendant of Joseph, is believed to be located on the moutaintops of Itamar to the southeast of Nablus. Other tombs include that of Dan between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Ancient tombs establishing ancient Israeli “holds” to the land dot the landscape.

 Psalm 83 points out a confederation of Arab nations who conspire against Israel in order to boast that the “ne’ot Elohim” are “ours for a possession.” These are the “tombs of the righteous” as evidenced by King David’s description of being “made to lie down in a “ne’ot” (or green pasture). The forces opposing the Return of the House of Israel to be reunited with the House of Judah appear focused on claiming the spiritual stronghold of the “tombs.”

Christian tzaddik, Jewish tzaddikim, all ‘sons of God’

Just as Christians look to their tzaddik moshiah (righteous anointed one) on an “empty” cross, Orthodox Jews often pilgrimage to tombs of the righteous believing the tzaddik (righteous one) lives with one foot in this world and the other in the World To Come. Having overcome his/her evil inclination, he/she intercedes in both worlds for whomever honors him/her by visiting him/her while alive or his/her final resting place. This intercession is clearly stated in the case of Jesus, who like all tzaddikim were known as “sons of God,” but according to the meaning of this identity according to Halachah. See www.torah-voice.org/thedisputations.htm.

Two conflicting nations, peoples in womb of Rebecca

The Torah reading also established that Rebecca, wife of Isaac was having a difficult pregnancy. The Hebrew indicates someone was “running around” inside her womb. She went to a prophet who explained that she would give birth to TWO NATIONS and TWO l’umim (singular l’om). These are different and conflicting mindsets, ideologies and lifestyles. Rebecca was told Jacob and Esau would be rivals from the time they emerged from the womb and would NEVER find harmony. One would always be in ascendancy over the other. It is natural to see how this prophecy has been fulfilled in terms of the faith of Esau and the faith of Jacob.

The account of Jacob’s faith is recorded in Torah and the books of the Prophets. But Esau, the natural adversary of his brother, has gravitated toward the Koran, and the most radical interpretations of it. The words of Esau’s blessing by his father Isaac are telling. After Isaac is deceived by Rebecca into giving the blessing of the Firstborn to Jacob instead, Esau is told:

Is war a call for State of Israel to repent? Are Palestinians aggrieved?

“Behold of the oil of the Earth shall be your dwelling and of the dew of the heavens from above. By your SWORD you shall live, but your brother (Jacob) you shall serve; yet it shall be that when you are TAREED (aggrieved), you may cast off his yoke upon your neck.”  (Genesis 27:40)

This is not your ordinary grievance. This is a grievance that is tied to the blessing Jacob received, which his father, Isaac, had intended for Esau.

The sages of Torah believe Esau’s right to throw off the yoke is conditioned upon the Torah disobedience of Israel. If Israel observes the Torah faithfully and not casually, the yoke on Esau remains but if Israel observes only casually, Esau not only throws off the yoke, but becomes Grandfather’s “sword” against Israel.

The sword of Allah for Israel’s disobedience, Hamas embodies Esau

This is evidenced by the vow made centuries later by all of Israel for all time at Mt. Horeb to BOTH Grandfather and His Allah! The vow in Deuteronomy 29:11ff clarifies that the blessings in the previous chapter for Torah obedience come from Grandfather and the curses alluded to “by the sword” come from His Allah … Islam or the form of radical Islam adopted by Hamas. This means Hamas is spiritually embodying the “House of Esau.”

Another biblical prophet, Obadiah, the only prophet whose words are recorded in the Bible who is descended from Esau, warned his people (today’s Palestinians) that when Jacob would return to his possessions (which began occurring about 1917), he would find those possessions occupied by the House of Esau . Further those Palestinians who remain in this Birthright region, would be annihilated. (Obadiah 17ff). This establishes the spiritual identity of the “occupiers” as Palestinians who occupy Jacob’s possessions, not the other way around as the British mandate and the media have asserted for the past 30 years. “Israeli occupied Palestinian (or Arab) territory” is how the Birthright has been falsely characterized by media since it became “No Man’s Land.”

Throwing off the yoke tied to ‘united strength’ of Arab confederacy

The feeling that Esau may now “throw off the yoke” because Israel has become largely a secular (meaning non-observant) Jewish state comes at a time when the Arab world is feeling its oats led by the Moslem Brotherhood. The Brotherhood now controls Egypt and has helped Hamas overcome a major obstacle. When Hamas uprooted control of the Gaza from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in 2007, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak agreed with Israel to close the borders of Gaza. Reopening those borders appears to be the major term from Hamas of this cease-fire, and a major concern to the Israeli leadership due to the likelihood that Hamas will simply re-arm.

The top Hamas leader in exile, Khaled Mashaal, is stirring up the Arab world with talk that the 22 Arab nations are now stronger than Israel if they act in concert. Overall, Hamas is in a strong position to negotiate a truce deal, Mashaal claims while safe himself from Israeli attack. He cites the new diplomatic support since the Arab Spring, Hamas’ popularity in the Gaza and the large arsenal of rockets.

The Koran’s ‘holy war’ in two parts

Mashaal’s comments seem to be code words to the radicals among the Koran-faithful that the Arab Spring has united the Arab nations and their duty is to now “win the war.”

The Koran dictates this holy war in two parts. First there is the war of peace, which means one makes a treaty with his enemies ONLY until he becomes the stronger party. So “peace”, “truce”, or “cease-fire” in the Koran do not have the same meanings to the Western world. This may explain why it is necessary for Israel to always exact more force than has been exacted against her. Anything less is a sign of weakness to the radicals who follow Islam. When the Koran-faithful perceive themselves to be the stronger party, then the second part of the war kicks in.

War to the death

The war to the death applies to all lands that were at any time under the domain of Islam according to the literature disseminated by Hamas in the late 1980s. That would include Israel and Jerusalem although Muhammad never came to Jerusalem and the city is mentioned only in connection with a dream of Muhammad that his horse ascended to Heaven from the Rock today under the Dome of the Rock, the site where Isaac was offered and elevated.

Wells dug by Isaac, father of Jacob and Esau could locate border of Palestinian state

Isaac succeeded his father Abraham in the Torah portion read as the war erupted last week. He mystically offers a solution that could lead to a permanent end to hostilities … if Ephraim will step forward and claim his Birthright and Israeli and Palestinian archaeologists can locate the wells and Negev sites of Sitnah, Esek and Rehovot.

Sitnah, from the Hebrew “Satan” and Esek connote “enmity” and “vexation.” Wells dug by Isaac’s servants were claimed by the Philistines in whose land Isaac then sojourned. But when Rehovot was dug, the Philistines did not protest and Isaac was able to sojourn in peace. Find these wells somewhere in the Negev and you have the eastern border for a Palestinian State, which should minimally include the fertile Sh’felah and its five crop rotations yearly. The northern border may be alluded to by the prophet Zechariah as the Israeli cities of Ashquelon or Ashdod. (See my blog on “Boundary Stones”). If so, this would expedite the state with the infrastructure of a modern Israeli city. But all of Judea-Samaria would be absent of Palestinians and permanent borders would be established between Esau and Jacob.

Bush Road Map, Pre-’67 lines usurp biblical birthright, relate to economic curse

The Bush Road Map to Peace in the Middle East is alleged by Apache (Gershonite priests assimilated with never uncovenanted East M’nashe, www.torah-voice.org/AAcovermarch2011.htm) to be at the root of the present economic curse on America and all nations who side with America in promoting a Palestinian state on Ephraim’s Birthright. The Road Map would have forged a Palestinian state out of the pre-1967 lines, which would have sandwiched Israel between Gaza and Hamas to the south and west and the formerly called “West Bank” of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to the north and east.

Curiously those pre-1967 borders define the outline of a crown atop a man’s head, the head and crown falling entirely within the borders of Rachel’s kids.

Ephraim needed to assert Birthright claim

If Ephraim will stand and claim his Birthright, then “Judea-Samaria,” which has been the biblical name for the “West Bank” for the past 2,500 years, will be removed from the table as part of a Palestinian state. The region must accomplish what its name is prophesied to do: Return, reunite and reconcile the never reconciled families of the House of Judah (led by the kingdom of the House of David) and the House of Israel (led by the monarchy of the House of Joseph replaced by the Samaritans when exiled). In that dispute today mostly over Halachah (or how one practically walks out the commands of Torah), unless Palestinians would be willing to become part of the separate l’om (people) of Jacob through observance of Torah or minimally accept the Seven Laws of Noach, which preclude murder and “hamas” (violence), Palestinians would be out of place.

Hamas rockets abuse Palestinian role in peace, betray insincerity but Zechariah Plan awaits

Grandfather’s way is to close one door before opening another. The door to peace with Hamas rule of the Gaza is shutting. The Palestinian abuse of even closed borders (to acquire thousands of rockets) betrays an insincere partner for peace until that leadership is reformed or replaced.

A concept drawing of a contiguous Palestinian state according to the borders mentioned in Zechariah 9: The Zechariah Plan.

Regardless, a door to redraw a separate and contiguous and peaceful Palestinian state should open when the smoke clears from this war, after Israel has preempted Hamas rockets and possibly Hezbullah rockets and marginalized Syria’s chemical agent capability and taken out Iran’s nuclear reactor. Until then, the ultra-Nationalistic pride of the Palestinian people, which Zechariah wrote also would be removed – must be removed. When Palestinians are serious about peace, the Zechariah Plan – based on Zechariah 9 – awaits.

 

Zechariah envisioned contiguous Palestinian state, Return of Joes

This plan redraws the Palestinian state to include the Gaza and contiguous regions north and east of the Gaza, including parts of the fertile Sh’felah, which enjoys up to five crop rotations a year. The modern Israeli cities of Ashquelon and/or Ashdod are mentioned by Zechariah as possible northern borders. Certainly with Gaza’s infrastructure bombed to Hell, these two cities would meet that need. The leading reason the World Bank decided earlier this year that the Palestinians are not ready to declare a state relates to inadequate infrastructure. The present war has aggravated this shortcoming.

In exchange for this far better alternative than Judea-Samaria, the Palestininan population would vacate en masse the “fields of Ephraim” and “the fields of the Shomron” or the Birthright possessions of Joseph, which would become the possession of neither Jews nor Palestinians, but could be annexed by the State of Israel for the Return of the House of Joseph.

You now have your fruit, Mr. Shoebat, Mr. Jones. An American ambassador and three other State Dept staff are dead

The judgment of pride in America

H”b

Four  U.S. State Department staff in Libya including Ambassador Chris Stevens are dead because of disrespect of The Koran and Islam.  The ignorant, racist, bigoted Koran-hating Florida ‘pastor’ Terry Jones fueled by the heresy of the Palestinian-Christian fraud, Walid Shoebat are the primary culprits of this disrespect.

This same heresy has fueled much of the ignorant speculation by a racist, bigoted element within the Religious Right of the GOP looking for any excuse to spread Obama-hatred.

You now have your fruit, Mr. Shoebat, Mr. Jones.  An American ambassador and three other State Dept staff are dead.

The Heresy of Walid Shoebat

Shoebat claims the Greek letters seen by John on the Isle of Patmos, usually interpreted “666”, if the middle Greek letter is rotated 90 degrees reveals the phrase “in the name of Allah” in Arabic.   HOWEVER, he based this interpretation on the miniscule Greek text which did not exist at the time of John and was only added to the authoritative Vatican Greek text  — which ended at Second Peter — in the Seventeenth Century.  The Uncial Greek employed by John in his “Revelation,” does not resemble the Arabic at all.

The Religious Right has been incited to fear Islam since 911.  This had led to the rise of a few former Ex-Moslem Evangelical fakes who have become Christian ministers to explain Jihad to gullible listeners.  The list includes Ergun Caner, a past dean at Liberty University who was demoted for lying and exaggerating about his past involvement with Islam.  And it includes Shoebat whose teachings have been proven heresy.

Curiously GOP Presidential Candidate Gov. Mitt Romney was invited to the podium to address Liberty University’s Class of 2012.  He would not have the popularity among the Religious Right or its endorsement without that pulpit.

While dean, Caner, embraced Shoebat and his false teaching, making him to appear legitimate.  Millions of otherwise decent Christians have swallowed his heresy and fueled by the all-too-frequent “code words” of the Romney campaign’s pandering, perceive President Obama as being in an Islamic camp, the camp of the enemy.

‘Vow to God and to His Allah’

The real concern the Religious Right should embrace is their conscience if they have any left.  An ambassador and three other Americans are dead because Shoebat’s heresy and the racist Terry Jones who was inspired by it, have been given legitimacy and have been believed.  And every Christian who said “Amen” to Jones or Shoebat is just as guilty of the blood of these diplomats.

Ironically, every Orthodox Jew and many Joes this week read in the Torah that ancient Israel took a vow for themselves – and their descendants for all time — to both God AND HIS ALLAH (Deuteronomy 29:11,14).  The context of this Allah is to enforce the curses against Israel spelled out in Deuteronomy 28 if Israel does not observe its Torah.  So according to the Torah, Allah is an attribute of Creator’s judgment aimed at all of Jacob – not just the Jewish contingent —  when “Jacob” does not observe the Torah to which it promised obedience at Mt. Horeb.  This defines “the time of Jacob’s greatest trouble” as the descendants of Jacob’s rebellion against Torah, in which case, the sword of Islam will prevail.

Religious Right must search their souls

The Religious Right has some serious soul-searching to do.  They been deceived and bought into a now fatal heresy and hated our president without cause.  They have disrespected an aspect of Creator delegated to the Islamic community, a separate “leum” (mindset, ideology and lifestyle) than Jacob as decreed in the Torah, and therefore WORTHY of a separate religious collective faith.  Islam means “submission” and  reflects the attribute of Creator to enforce His Torah.  Sometimes Moslems forget Muhammad’s admonition to be merciful in doing so, however. But blatant disrespect such as the video that resulted in these State Dept personnel deaths was a clear provocation.

A larger spiritual issue:  Ephraimite Mormon pride

An even larger spiritual problem is unveiled, which may reflect why Grandfather has chosen to make a mockery out of the most prideful of all Christian-Israelite sects:  Ephraimite Mormons.  Most all Mormons are given “patriarchal blessings” as “Ephraim.”  Ephraim is especially noted for the stench of its pride and arrogance.  The Bible also says that the real “666” will  “deceive the very elect,” another description of Ephraim.

Joseph 156 Smith 510 = 666 divined the Book of Mormon using a “seer stone” as a rebellious teenager rebelling against all religions (the spirit of witchcraft).  He was given this stone by “an angel of light” named Moroni who appears himself in the divination toward the end of the book to challenge all who read it to “ask for a witness in their hearts” as to its truth.  However, any Mormon who would first understand the Torah would realize that the Torah’s standard of determining Truth is not “heart tingles” easily counterfeited by dark forces.  Rather it is whether anything in Smith’s divination is contradicted by the Torah.  See the only review of the Book of Mormon and LDS Doctrine and Covenants sanctioned by Native American spiritual elders which shows its contradictions with Torah and points to the Satanic agenda of “stealing the biblical Birthright.” www.torah-voice.org/BoMDCT.htm.

Smith taught Aaronic priesthood out of Torah context

The LDS hold that the Aaronic priesthood was resumed with Joseph Smith, when Smith said John The Baptist appeared to him as Elijah.  However, this appearance — if it is legitimate — is contextually to remind Israel to “Remember the Torah which God gave to Moses at Mount Horeb together with the statues and ordinances.” (last two verses of Malachi).

LDS hold that America is the inheritance of all of the tribes of Joseph and the other tribes of Israel who will join with them here, except the Jews whose homeland is in Israel.  This usurps the Hebrew Aaronic priesthood, the biblical Birthright of Joseph and the right of return of Joseph and the other tribes to their ancestral inheritances.

Satanic ‘divide and conquer’ strategy lies at heart of Book of Mormon

No more evident and Satanic “divide and conquer” strategy could be employed to eradicate the Jewish population in Israel since most all of the prophesies by Jewish Torah sages rely on the Return of the House of Joseph to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

The rabbis have very deep-rooted traditions concerning this ultimate and final conflict between Jacob’s descendants and Esau’s descendants, which are quoted in dozens of references in the Talmud and other Jewish writings. Most notable are:

Jacob needs Joseph’s seed to deliver up Esau’s seed

Talmud Bava Batra 123b: “Jacob saw that Esau’s seed could only be delivered up by Joseph’s seed.”

Tanchuma Vayeshev, 1: When Jacob saw Esau and his chiefs, he became afraid. He asked, “Who could defend me against these? G-d answered, “Your spark will consume them, and that is Joseph…. It therefore says, “Jacob dwelled … These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph (Genesis 37:1-2).”

Bereshit Rabbah, 99:2: “Joseph counters Edom … In whose hands shall Edom fall? Those of the anointed of war, who comes from Joseph.”

Bereshit Rabbah 73:7: “With Joseph’s birth, Esau’s adversary was born … There is a tradition that Esau shall fall only to Rachel’s descendants.”

Also, the writings of Rabbenu Sa’adya Gaon in Emunot Ve’De’ot, Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer 19, Sanhedrin 97a, Sotah 49b, Ramban to Exodus 17:9, and the writings of R. Hillel of Shklov quoting the Gaon R. Eliyahu of Vilna, Pesikta Rabbati 8, 36-37, Targum Yonatan of Genesis 30:25, Midrash Shocher Tov 60, Talmud Succah 52a reflect the theme of “Joseph is alive through his descendants.”

Dead Sea Scrolls prophesy coming Jacob-Esau conflict

The same conflict is recorded as late as the Dead Sea Scrolls. The so-called War Scroll describes a battle between the “sons of Light,” (descendants of Jacob) and the “sons of darkness” specifically identified as the children of Edom. We may also find references to this eschatological (end-times) battle in the parables of Y’shua (Jesus) of Nazareth, particularly the parable of the wheat and the tares and in the spiritual battles Y’shua waged (if Satan is indeed the ruling spirit of Esau-Edom). A similar parable is related from an ancient Midrash as recorded by Chizkuni in Torah Sheleimah where the parable is quoted in the context of the prophecy in Obadiah, Esau being the “chaff” and Jacob-Joseph the “wheat.”  Please note.  The battle is with Esau, not the faith Esau has adopted, which is sanctioned in the Torah.

An admonition about pride

One who will “never apologize” for his or her mistakes is filled with pride. “Pride cometh before a fall.”  A great fall is predicted for the Mormon Church judging by the fruit of Governor Romney and other followers and would-be prophets of the Book of Mormon.  But the end is to point those loyal to the God of Israel and respectful of His Allah, back to the Torah if they would lay claim to the name, “Ephraim.”

Is Romney really ready to play the Israeli card?

Posted on by

The Israeli card which presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is about to play will not go unchallenged by the religious and secular Israeli news media.  Unlike the mamby-pamby coverage of the American media, seeking to keep even religious differences that would affect foreign policy out of the election coverage, Romney will be barraged with questions about areas where his Mormon faith conflicts with humanitarian precepts within Orthodox Judaism, about Christian Religious Right prophetic trends he has embraced pertaining to Israel and his view of a Palestinian state.

A primer on spiritual issues for Israeli news media

As a primer for my former colleagues in the secular Israeli news media, I wish to make available the only review of the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants of the LDS Church commissioned by Native American spiritual elders.

  • A series of five articles reviewing the 1830 Book of Mormon divined by Joseph (156) Smith (510) = 666 using a “seer stone” he earlier used in 1826 to “divine” buried treasure, for which he was convicted of “glasslooking fraud” in Bainbridge County, NY.,  www.torah-voice.org/BoMDCT.htm  The review is done by the standard of a Torah that would be expected from an assimilated family of M’nashe — an exiled tribe of the House of Joseph — never removed from its covenant, as the history of biblical Israel evidences.  However see reprint of March 2011 Ancient American magazine,  “Israelite East M’nashe traced to (Apache, Navajo) at Four Corners,” at www.torah-voice.org/AAcovermarch2011.htm. This article concludes that the migration route of Israelite East M’nashe in no way resembles Smith’s “divination.”  It is currently being circulated among Native elders who are considering whether to demand that the LDS Church cease publication of what is now proven to be a “divined fiction with clear Satanic motives to usurp the priesthood of Aaron, the Birthright of Joseph and the land of Promise for all of Israel.” – MbY.
  • Two subsequent blogs, “Which 666?  How Obama hatred hands the oval office to Satan,” http://wp.me/p2pR8x-15 and “The 666 Connection to Mitt Romney:  The Satanic origin and purpose of the Book of Mormon and LDS Doctrine and Covenants,” http://wp.me/p2pR8x-17  detail the spiritual issues that conflict between Mormon philosophy and the biblical prophesies pertaining to Israel.  Romney’s throwback foreign policy with Russia is explained in its Mormon apocalyptic context at http://wp.me/p2pR8x-1 “Back in the USSR: The Heresy of Triple A’s Foreign Policy You Won’t See on Fox.”

All of this material has been circulated to leadership in Salt Lake City, other Mormon leaders and two private mentors with whom I studied the Book of Mormon for five years during the research for my reviews.  Their experience in the Book of Mormon totaled more than 100 years.  NO REBUTTAL, DISPUTATION OR RESPONSE HAS BEEN FORTHCOMING, SO I CAN ASSUME ALL FACTS ARE CORRECT.

Mormon doctrine serves agenda of Satan

But to sum it up, Mormon doctrine usurps the priesthood of the Koheinim, the blood descendants of Aaron, brother of Moses; usurps the Birthright of Joseph in the Shomron or northern two-thirds of the former West Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and proposes that Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel) is the land of Promise for “only the Jewish people.” The non-Jewish or “Joeish” House of Israel still in exile, according to the Book of Mormon is here in America, where Mormons believe the other tribes of Israel will join them. There is no “Christian” faith with doctrine better aligned to serve the agenda of Satan in the last days to steal (the Birthright) kill (Israelis and Palestinians) and destroy chances at peace.

I have yet to hear Romney address a Palestinian state or even be asked about it by the mamby-pamby media in the States.   This is an issue that a sizeable percentage of independents with spiritual leanings are waiting to hear addressed.  It was never addressed at all in the 2008 election.  Much of the Religious Right jumped into bed with Romney without ever questioning these vital spiritual concerns … as well as his tax returns.

Rick and Bubba almost asked the right question

As recorded on the “Rick and Bubba” show in Birmingham, just before the Alabama primary when asked if he believed Israel was the Promised Land – Romney replied, “Israel was promised to the Jewish people but you will have to ask the (Mormon) church, but I understand there are other lands promised to other people.”  But this show’s hosts had no understanding of the Birthright issue and how usurping the Birthright has cursed America and all the nations that have embraced that Palestinian state.  The Birthright is the region to which the House of Joseph is promised its return (Jeremiah 31:15-18) to reconcile and reunite with the House of Judah “on the mountains of Israel” (Ezekiel 37). All of the mountains of Israel are in Judea-Samaria with the exception of the small Mt. Carmel range near Haifa. This region cannot be a Palestinian state.  It is reserved for the Return of the House of Joseph.  See blog http://wp.me/p2pR8x-5G “Israelis, Palestinians and Apache, O My!” an out of the box peace inititiative in which the House of Joseph finally gets a chance to present its case.

A ruler who ‘knows not Joseph’

A Mormon president would bring to power a “ruler who knows not Joseph nor Joseph’s Birthright,” in dealing with Israel and a Palestinian state.  At the same time, it is noted that President Obama favors a Palestinian state according to the pre-1967 armistice lines, which also usurp the Birthright of Joseph.  However, White House insiders indicate that Obama is practicing “the silent diplomacy of the late King Hussein of Jordan.”  The king was a close ally to Israel, but could not be so publicly.  To head off more 9-11 style attacks, it was necessary that at least a pretense of distance exist between the Obama Administration and Israel.

Since tampering with a Birthright is considered to be the blackest of black roads, Native spiritual elders feel that many of the nation’s economic problems stem from a curse America has brought on itself for “cursing Israel.”  As Ada Fasthorse, greatest granddaughter of the Israelite-Apache prophet known as “Geronimo,” tried to warn President George W. Bush in July 2007, his ill-fated Road Map to Peace in the Middle East (according to the pre-1967 lines) was responsible for the curse about to descend on America because the Road Map usurped the Birthright of Joseph.

That curse continues until U.S. Foreign policy comes into line with the biblical expectations. www.torah-voice.org/Biblical_road_map.htm  and certain other steps are taken by the American leadership to correct spiritual wrongs.

Boundary stone discovery lends credence to ‘contiguous Palestinian state’ hinted by biblical prophet Zechariah

As many are astonished concerning you thus: “an outline from a man!” … “his features mirror the sons of Adam!” Thus he shall startle many nations. Concerning him, kings (rulers) shall shut their mouths because that which was not told to them they shall see and that they had not heard they shall meditate to themselves. 

(Literal translation of Isaiah 52:14-15)

NOTE:  Whenever we are critical of persons or policies, we do no service to anyone without proposing an alternative. The alternative proposed to the George W. Bush Administration’s Road Map to Peace in the Middle East is the “Zechariah Plan,” researched by MbY from 1996-99 and calling for a contiguous Palestinian State in the region generally known in the Bible as the “Plain of the Philistines.” MbY submits this exegesis for consensus and collegiality as the support for mutual disengagements and a humane version of the Cherokee Removals, the plan’s international precedent.

Tel Gezer Boundary Stone

The discovery of a 13th boundary stone at Tel Gezer, historically the border between Judea and the Plain of the P’lishtim announced last week, reinforces — from Heaven — the Zechariah Plan as a biblical alternative contiguous Palestinian state.

Ashdod, Ashquelon and Ekron are modern Israeli cities

Biblical alternative contiguous Palestinian state defining Plain of P’lishtim

and communities with local governments, schools, businesses and their own infrastructures. But if Israel and the Palestinians are unable to resolve their differences and war results, these regions nearest the Gaza could lie in ruins.  In fact, the biblical prophet, Zechariah, predicts that Ashquelon will not have inhabitants.

He makes this prediction for a time when “all of the people are looking to the Lord” concerning a burden of the Lord about Damascus and Syria, a scenario on the ground today.

Prophecy linked to burden in Syria

Obadiah, the only Edomite biblical prophet, foresaw none of his people, the House of Esau, remaining in the Birthright territory of Joseph in Judea-Samaria (the “fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria” in the former West Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan). These fields comprise the lowlands in the mountains and valleys and make up the head and crown region of the outline above. Obadiah wrote that at the time Jacob would be returned to these possessions, they would be occupied by “the House of Esau.” Since the Palestinians today occupy this region, it is a logical conclusion that the House of Esau today occupies the possessions of Joseph and they must be relocated to avoid a blood bath.

Which brings us again to the prophet Zechariah’s End Times prophecy which alludes to a “population exchange.” These “mutual disengagements” would allow two separate but contiguous states to permanently separate two incompatible l’eumim (mindsets, ideologies or lifestyles). See www.torah-voice.org/Biblical_road_map.htm.  A contiguous Palestinian state comprising the ancient Plain of the Philistines would have as its northeastern border, Tel Gezer and would comprise Ashdod, Ashquelon and Ekron, the Gaza and the adjoining fertile Sh’felah, which affords up to five crop rotations a year.  It also allows a Palestinian state bordering Egypt, the nation with whom most Palestinians align and from which a great number if not a majority have migrated.  A contiguous Israeli state that would allow incorporation of Judea-Samaria without legitimizing the antithetical ideology of Hamas and Palestinian “ultra-Nationalism” could then proceed.

Zechariah’s prophecy should be primary source material

First, a little about Zechariah.  He was a prophet and priest who wrote about events in the far-distant future called the Last Days.  Chapters 9-11 involve Israel’s dealings with the nations, beginning with the people known as P’lishtim, which is the plural of the name, P’lishti, by which Yasser Arafat referred to the Palestinian people. In a Last Days context, therefore, Zechariah’s prophecy should be primary source material in formulating foreign policy with Israel that agrees with the Bible. The real irony is that the support base for the proposed Palestinian State in Judea-Samaria, the so-called “Road Map to Peace in the Middle East,” proposed during the administration of President George W. Bush, comes from the Christian Religious Right, which has been supporting an anti-biblical position.

9:1-2:    “The burden of the word of the Lord: in the land of Hadrach and Damascus its rest, when to the Lord shall be the eyes of man as of all the tribes of Israel. And in Hamath also which bordereth thereby; in Tyrus and Zidon, … though it be very wise:”

Timing of state relates to burden in Syria

The Lord is burdened by something going on in Hadrach, an out-lying region of Damascus (its — Hadrach’s — rest), Damascus itself, Hamath, another region in Western Syria that bordered Lebanon, plus two Mediterranean coastal regions in Lebanon. Tyre, in Southern Lebanon is below the Litani River and therefore part of biblical Israel. It lies on the same latitude as the northernmost Israeli settlement of Kiryiat Sh’mona. Sidon lies a few miles to the south of Beirut and on the same latitude as Damascus.

It is important to note that the time of this burden is ci l’adonai eyn adam v’kol shivtei Yisrael when or because the eyes of man as of all the tribes of Israel are looking to the Lord.  Something is taking place in Syria that has the world’s attention and which the Lord considers a burden.

The comment about Zidon being very wise is what you might call “tongue in cheek.”  This qualification gives it an End-Times context, since it refers to the time when the tribes of Israel are looking to reunite while this concern unfolds in Syria.

Revival of the House of Joseph

Zechariah prophesied after the 10 Northern Tribes of Israel led by the House of Joseph were exiled. The timing for this burden relates to the reviving of the House of Joseph, the major two tribes of Israel who remain in exile. The burden may even relate specifically to the preparation of the land for these non-Jewish exiles of Ephraim and M’nashe to return. We mention this possibility because Zechariah 10:10 indicates that when the House of Joseph returns, they will be so numerous that the land will not be able to contain them and they will spill over into Lebanon (today controlled by Syria and the Iranian Hezbollah) and the Gilead, which is in today’s Jordan and the ancient inheritances of Israelite East M’nashe, Gad and Reuben.  Israelite East M’nashe has been identified with 38 Athap(b)ascan Language Group nations including six who relocated to the Four Corners region of the American Southwest:  The five nations of the Apache and the Navajo.

9:3-4:    “And Tyrus did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and He will smite her power (in, by means of, with) the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.”

Early Persian influence in Lebanon

Tyre was one of the fortified cities of the Canaanites mentioned in the Book of Joshua. Like Gaza and the land of the Philistines, Tyre was never fully conquered by the Israelites. Its inhabitants were never called Tyrians, but rather Sidonians, coupling its fate with Sidon to the north.  The great wealth for which the Sidonians were noted was acquired under PERSIAN rule, establishing an early claim to the region by Persia (modern Iran).  As we reported in a special edition of Jerusalem Vistas magazine: Apocalypse Now: Mixing Religion and Terror, published two weeks before the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the expansion of radical Islam closely correlates with the spread of the ancient Persian empire. Today, Iran (Persia) masterminds this spread throughout the Middle East and controls the sheikdoms of especially radical Shi’ties. Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah in Lebanon, was also complicit in the Shi’a insurgency in Iraq.

Civil war would spread to Lebanon

The civil war about to erupt in Syria is sure to spread to Lebanon where the Persian Shi’ia radical Islam alluded to in this scripture are on the ground today in South Lebanon.  All eyes are on Syria.  The verses below indicate a major disappointment among the Palestinians connected with Syria.

Tyre also was a divided city, partly on the mainland and partly on an island that once existed connected by a causeway. The island is today submerged but ruins of a castle built into the mountainside with numerous cave entrances are still discernible on the mainland.  While many biblical scholars claim this judgment uttered by Zechariah already has taken place, they have no explanation for its “re-occurence” at the time the “eyes of man as all of the tribes of Israel are toward the Lord” and “Syria.”  Nor do they dispute that all of Zechariah’s other prophesies do pertain to a future time. There is also no existing record of any war between Israel and the Sidonians in Tyre and Sidon.  However, inhabitants of Tyre descended from Esau betrayed the House of Judah when it went into exile by turning in those who had escaped the Babylonian invasion and siege of Jerusalem.

9:5-6:    Ashkelon shall see and fear; Gaza also and be very sorrowful, and Ekron that her expectation hath been ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the P’lishtim.

Destruction seen suggests different scenarios

The destruction in verse four is SEEN not heard by the inhabitants of Ashkelon, Ashdod and Ekron. Given the Mediterannean wind currents, a fire in or explosion in Lebanon or Syria could not be seen from Gaza and these regions in the far south. In our day, this alludes to some kind of media coverage of some devastating event in Lebanon and/or Syria … in the Last Days.  Fear, sorrow and shame about some kind of expectation or hope results. In the context of current events, we would submit that any manner of scenarios are possible.  Far fetched though it may sound, Israel could open the Good Fence in South Lebanon and allow Syrians who have relatives living in Israel in as refugees disproving many of the Palestinian suspicions. Or, as many foresee, Damascus could at this time become a “ruinous heap,” due to some kind of devastation, entirely possible in the context of current events and retalliation against the brutal Assad regime.

The mamzer (Heb. bastard) who lives in Ashdod is a bit of detail that awaits further clarification. Ekron, like Ashdod and Ashquelon are Israeli villages and cities constructed in the Plain of the P’lishtim.  Expectations that turn to shame occur between both Palestinians and Israelis at the time of whatever transpires in Syria and Lebanon.  You could say Ekron, Ashdod and Ashquelon “expected” to be part of the modern Jewish state and that expectation was “ashamed.”

Ashamed expectations suggests mutual disengagements

This ashamed “expectation” gives credence to mutual disengagements of Palestinians from Judea-Samaria and Israelis from the Plain of the P’lishtim.  The international precedent for these disengagements is the Cherokee Removals of the 1830s, although we would hope for a more humane and abbreviated version since no one would have to move further than five hours away and it all could be accomplished in a few weekends.  The Central Band of Cherokee under former Principal Chief Joe Sittingowl White proposed such a mutual disengagement plan with guarantees that all Removed — Palestinians and Israelis — would be relocated to better homes, orchards, lands and environs than they left.

The Lord’s promise to “cut off the pride of the P’lishtim” could be interpreted according to current events as the means to “dash the hopes of the Palestinian people for a state in Judea-Samaria.”

Palestinian designs on Judea-Samaria given cruel hope by U.S. State Department

Palestinian designs on Judea-Samaria have been given false and cruel hope by the U.S. State Department and the Bush Administration’s Road Map to Peace in the Middle East.  President Obama and the U.S. State Department in insisting on a Palestinian state according to pre-1967 lines continues the policy that would result in a Palestinian state that usurps the Birthright of Joseph.

9:7:    And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: and he, even he, shall remain for our God, and he shall be as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as the Jebusite.

Death of ultra-Nationalism signals radical move toward peace

Once the expectation for a Palestinian State in Judea-Samaria ends and the Palestinian people accept the Israeli leadership of the nation, the Palestinian people undergo a radical change toward peace. The verse literally suggests that the P’lishtim even adapt their lifestyle to eating kosher meats, although figuratively it suggests the end of the terror with shouts of “Allah Akhbar,” and violence and the abominable language in the Palestine National Charter calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.  Promises to remove this language have been made but not fulfilled.

The language “aluf” (chief or master) in Judah, implies that there may be no independent Palestinian state, however this would not rule out autonomy for the Palestinian people living in this contiguous area within the nation of Israel when the Palestinians who would be relocated to Ekron become as the peaceable Jebusites.

9:8:    And I will encamp about Mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now I have seen with mine eyes.

God-fearing Palestinians ‘remain for our God’

Contextually, the “house” God will encamp about is the new God-fearing Palestinian people “who shall remain for our God.”  These Palestinians would have their own autonomy in the regions of Gaza, Ashqelon, Ashdod and Ekron and probably the fertile Sh’felah adjoining them. God will protect those Palestinians who live in this area from the Israeli army, from instigators of trouble or oppressors passing through and from those returning, clarified two verses down as the House of Joseph.

Palestinians who leave Judea-Samaria will have safe haven in this autonomous Palestinian state within the nation of Israel as long as they live there in peace. But for those Palestinians who do not leave Judea-Samaria, the fate is dire. (See Obadiah 17ff below). Their hearts will be hardened and harbor the hatred of Esau toward Jacob, evidenced by Obadiah calling them “the House of Esau.”  This was predicted 3,700 years ago — long before the conflict materialized into Israelis vs. Palestinians

9:9    Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout O daughter of Jerusalem: behold thy king cometh unto thee:  he is just and deserving to be helped; lowly and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

Repentant Palestinians called ‘daughter’ of Zion, promised protection by God of Israel

Traditionally, this verse is believed to refer to the coming messiah. HOWEVER, contextually, once the Palestinian people have rid themselves of the mindset of Palestinian ultra-Nationalism, they are also called by God, a “daughter” of Zion and Jerusalem. He will send Israel a king who will be just, deserving and humble, possibly the king messiah.

9:10:    And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea and from the river od ofsei eretz (even to the ends of the land).

Ultra-nationalist Palestinians promised destruction

The chariot of Ephraim may refer to the mass annihilation that will occur in the northern two-thirds of Judea-Samaria in the inheritance of Ephraim due to Palestinian resistance there. Or it could refer to the war-like nature Ephraim has become in his assimilation (another theological treatise for a later time).  As Obadiah phrased it , “at the time Jacob returned to his inheritances,” the fields of the Shomron and the fields of Ephraim  — both regions that are the inheritance of the House of Joseph — would be occupied by the House of Esau.

“And the House of Jacob would be a fire and the House of Joseph would be the flame and the House of Esau for stubble and they (Jacob-Joseph) would kindle in them and devour them and none would remain from the House of Esau.” (Obadiah 18).

U.S. State Department plan promises certain death to millions of Palestinians and returning refugees

As I have tried repeatedly to warn the last four American administrations, the worst thing the U.S. State Department can do is promote a Palestinian state in Judea-Samaria.  It means the eventual certain death of Palestinians living there now and the millions of Palestinian refugees who would return.

Our State Department, in taking the portion Jacob promised Joseph as his Birthright and handing it to Esau, is betting against the Bible. Judea-Samaria is set aside by the God of Israel for the return, reunion and reconciliation of the House of Joseph with the House of Judah.

The Return of the House of Joseph

In our June 6, 2006 Newsletter, we present the case for the identity of M’nashe among the wave of Chicano immigrants coming from the South into the American Southwest after earlier migrations from Aztlan, the Native Homeland in the North in proximity of the Four Corners.  Recent research published in Ancient American magazine, has shown that the majority of the Four Corners nations are a remnant of Israelite East M’nashe.  See www.torah-voice.org/AAcovermarch2011.htm. M’nassah whose homeland is west of the Jordan, have been located among the 2 million starving and oppressed Shinlung in Burma and others in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Koreas and virtually all of Southeast Asia.  (Yes, brothers have fought brothers in all the World Wars and in Vietnam and Korea. See the May 15 blog titled Happy Mother’s Day for insights on ending “violence in the Earth.”)

Ephraim is an assimilated people most heavily concentrated in the isles and coastlands of the Earth. Therefore, the biblical policy the U.S. State Department should be pursuing is to help the Chicano people and persons being displaced from coastal regions due to hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and various Earth changes relocate to the inheritance of the House of Joseph. As the prophet Isaiah stated in the context of this return, “Send Me your Not Comforted (one of the judgments against the House of Joseph), homeless and “tempest tossed.”

Bill those who have profited off Mideast conflict

The oil companies and major defense contractors who have benefited from decades of State Department and CIA intervention in the Middle East on their behalf should contribute some of their obscene windfall profits toward picking up the tab for this relocation as well as the relocation of Palestinians from Judea-Samaria into the Gaza-region state. It is only fair, after all. State Department policies that have resulted in death and destruction in Israel, the Gaza, Lebanon and Iraq were put into effect to keep the energy sector profiteering on, lower-priced-than-could-be-produced-domestically, Arab oil.

Back to the exegesis. This king who will unite the nation of Israel with its Palestinian “state” therein will be an emissary of world peace. His dominion is defined here within the context of the borders of Greater Israel … or possibly a broader context that encompasses the entire world.  Again, another treatise. The Hebrew suggests either context.

9:11    As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

Plight of Palestinians compared to that of Joseph in a pit

If the “thee” in verse 11 refers to the daughter of Zion in verse 9, it fits with the context of a repentant Palestinian people. Today, their plight appears as that of Joseph, who was thrown into a pit where there was no water. His situation looked hopeless. The House of Joseph comes out of that pit biblically and historically with the renewed covenant made possible by the blood of Jesus (Y’shua) and spiritual gifts commensurate with that covenant.  The same is promised to the Palestinian people when the violence and terror ceases.

On the other hand, the “thee” in verse 11 could refer to this emissary of world peace, whose covenant earlier applied to the assimilation of the non-Jewish House of Israel led into exile by the House of Joseph. In this case, the prisoners would depict the House of Joseph who would be free to return.

9:12:    Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even today will I bring again unto thee a maggid of double peace.

Shalom Shalom and Grandfather’s love & blessings,

1.  The map at left compared with the outline at above right, (oriented by the Dead Sea), shows the head and crown region at top right as the ancient biblical inheritance of the non-Jewish House of Joseph, the tribes of Ephraim and M’nashe and part of Benjamin. These were the two sons of Joseph, who was the eldest of Rachel and Joseph’s younger brother, whose birth resulted in his mother, Rachel’s death.

2.  The prophet Jeremiah wrote more than 2,700 years ago in response to Rachel’s weeping for her children, long after her death that her children (the House of Joseph) would return to their biblical borders in the last days.  (Jeremiah 31:15-18).  These territories of Joseph also comprise the Birthright of Jacob.

3.  The head region (Shomron) is set apart by the God of Israel for a holy purpose; to return the non-Jewish House of Joseph to reconcile and reunite with the Jewish House of Judah, who has largely already returned.  These two houses of Israel hailed from two brothers, one jealous of the other, but who were reconciled before their deaths. However, their sons’ enmities and vexations have left the scars of a split kingdom, civil war and separate exiles.  This represents “unfinished business” in the family of Jacob for the God of Israel. Else, the light “Israel” is charged with becoming to the nations and the Word guaranteeing its bright shining expose God as a hypocrite.

“In the same place where it was said of you, Lo-ami, (Not My People), you shall be called the sons of the living God.” (Hosea 2:1)

That place demands a return of Joes and the non-Jewish “House of Israel.”

4.  The prophet Obadiah’s vision of the House of Esau in the Last Days, at the time when Jacob would be returned to his possessions, indicates those possessions — including the Birthright of Jacob would be occupied by the “House of Esau.” Obadiah, himself a descendant of Esau, has tried to connect prophetically with the Palestinians living today in Judea-Samaria, formerly known as the “West Bank” of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.  Biblically and historically, these Palestinians today because of where they live — in the Birthright land — and their hatred of “Jacob” are “the House of Esau.”  Obadiah’s is a disinterested voice in whom the Palestinians must listen. Their lives depend on it. And any nation’s foreign policy that supports a state for Esau in this Birthright region, merits the most serious of all biblically ordained curses:

God of Israel to Abraham: “I will bless those who bless you, but those who curse you I will cause to be cursed and in your seed all families of the earth shall be nivrecu (grafted or intermingled according Chizkuni, Daas Zekeinim, Rashbam and Tur).”

NOTE:  Esau’s historic hatred of Jacob is explained by the concept of incompatible “leumim” discussed below. Esau is a different “leum” (a people with the same or a compatible interest and mindset) than his brother, Jacob to whom this promise of blessing by God applies.

5.  Obadiah‘s vision urges the disengagement of the entire House of Esau from these territories of Joseph and concludes that those who remained would be annihilated.

“The House of Jacob shall be a fire, and the House of Joseph the flame and the House of Esau for stubble and I will kindle in them and devour them and not one shall remain from the House of Esau.” (Obadiah 17ff)

THE STATUS QUO:

 6.  A two-state solution was alluded to by the biblical prophet, Zechariah, some 2,600 years ago, according to our EXEGESIS, which examines the content of the prophecy in its context. The context includes both the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the worldwide spiritual move to unite and reconcile the House of Joseph with the House of Judah and return at least a remnant of the House of Joseph to its territories.

This contiguous Palestinian state (outlined in red in the maps above and below) is the domain of a fearful and sorrowful people whose “expectation” (connected to Lebanon and Syria) was ashamed. Zechariah referred to this people as P’lishtim, as the Palestinians also were called in the Arabic used by Yasser Arafat.  Zechariah observed their dwellings in the contiguous region of the Gaza, Ashdod, Ashqelon and Ekron. He also called their leader an “aluf” (chief or master) in Judah. But the state Zechariah described was “conditional.” Further, it would be orchestrated solely by the God of Israel.

God would first cause the “cutting off” of the “pride of the P’lishtim.” Cutting off the “pride” of an entire people, would to our thinking minds, suggest a mother of a war or a depression or some calamitous event. In the individual, the defense of ego is central and basic, even primal.  Nationalism has bred the same defense shrouded in such things as patriotism. But the national ego can also get out of control. Let’s call this “ultra-Nationalism” that defines the passionate “free will” of the people. But when the free national will contradicts THE Will, regarding Judea-Samaria and the reconciliation of Joes and Jews, for instance, the passion in that opposing will must be quelled.

A 3-D topographical map of Israel shows first that the “mountains of Israel” on which the House of Israel will reunite with the House of Judah (a biblical name for the modern Jewish state) lie almost entirely in Judea-Samaria.  This same region as a Palestinian state would make Israel virtually undefendable from a high-ground attack in Judea-Samaria. Denied their ultra-Nationalistic aim, it becomes necessary as Zechariah states to:

1) Take away the blood out of his mouth.

2) Take away the abominations from between his teeth.

In the context of current events and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the blood removed could figuratively relate to the ongoing terrorist attacks accompanied by shouts of “Allah Akhbar,” which would cease.  This could occur with the simple realization by both sides that Israel swore an oath to the God of Israel and to His (the God of Israel’s) Allah long before the time of Muhammad.   (The job of this Allah as described in Deuteronomy 29 is to “enforce” the imprecation or curses outlined in Deuteronomy 28).  Israel’s freedom from any of its enemies has always relied on its observance of Torah and Torah-based revivals.  When Israeli religious leaders reflect on the Torah not being considered in connection with this problem, they will come to the realization that it relates to the exclusion of the House of Joseph.

The abominations coming from between his teeth could be interpreted as the Palestine National Charter calling for the removal of the Zionist state and the death of all Israelis.  Despite much political rhetoric and maneuvering and promises to amend the charter, those terms remain.

As an aluf in Judah, the Palestinian state envisioned by Zechariah, may not be totally autonomous and would remain part of Israel, just as all states of the United States remain part of the U.S. 

8.  The “Zechariah Plan,” would involve the transfer or “disengagement” of Palestinians from Judea-Samaria to new homes, pastures and orchard lands in a contiguous region generally known in the Bible as “the plain of the Philistines.”  The Israelite tribe of Dan, which was given this region as its inheritance, failed to conquer its enemies and was eventually relocated to the North in the region of the Golan Heights. Victory in those early battles was tied to Walking the Walk. Obviously the tribe of Dan didn’t.  The Philistines, progenitor of the Palestinians in etymology and geography, but not necessarily geneaology, thrived.  At least until Israel Walks its Walk, the Palestinians have biblical precedent to the plain of the Philistines AND to be as thorns and bees as servants of “Allah.”

Thanks to State Department intervention in the Heavenly system of justice,  the thorns today are deadly roadside bombs and bees sting like terrorists.   Until the U.S. State Department began forcing Israel to succumb to the PLO’s demands for a Palestinian state in Judea-Samaria, Creator’s system of justice was in place.  The superior school systems, public transportation systems and services being provided in Jewish communities as opposed to Palestinian communities was pointed out in the Israeli media and was being addressed.

But when the State Department began insisting on a halt to infrastructure development and housing in Judea-Samaria, the State Department became at odds with the Zechariah Plan.  The Bush Road Map to Peace in the Middle East, as it was styled, blatantly stole the Birthright of Jacob given to Joseph in allocating it as part of this proposed unbiblical, non-contiguous and suicidal Palestinian State.

So if there ever was a nation for which a hands-off policy might be the best policy, it should be Israel, who will be judged by Creator directly and it is safe to say guided by Creator and who has been admonished to dwell “apart from the nations.”

8.  The Plain of the P’lishtim is loosely defined by the  fertile Sh’felah region contiguous with the Gaza and coastal cities to the north including Ashqelon and Ashdod.  The plan also involves further “disengagements” of the Jewish populations in the contiguous area comprising Ashdod, Ashqelon and Ekron.  This follows already heart-wrenching disengagements from Jewish populations in the Gaza area.

Considering that the Palestinians would get much more fertile land and favorable environs, the disengagement would be warranted.  Palestinians and Israelis required to disengage in this region would receive better houses, orchards, gardens and facilities than they had before disengagement.  The plan, modeled after a more humane and abbreviated version of the Cherokee Removals — thus it has international precedent — could be carried out in a few weekends obligating no moves more than 5 hours.

The trade off would be to separate the two different leumim into two contiguous states, permanently, providing security-controlled access highways to link both states and initially a superhighway to Jerusalem to accommodate prayers at the Al Aksa Mosque.

9. The contiguity is necessary as explained above to separate the two nations into two contiguous states and two “leumim.” This was prophesied of the two families, Jacob and Esau, to their mother, Rebecca, when the two unborn boys “agitated” in her womb.  The two would be unable to co-exist and one would be in ascendancy over the other … for life. Thus, each “leum” represents a people whose ideology and mindset differs … and conflicts. This mandates separate and contiguous states for each.

10. The northern two-thirds of Judea-Samaria (the head and crown region in the outline) vacated by the Palestinians would revert to new immigrants who are neither Jewish nor Palestinian.  They are “the House of Joseph.” Biblically and historically, these include Ephraim and M’nashe and part of Benjamin.

According to the Bible, the greatest concentration of Ephraim dwells in the coastal regions of the Earth including the coastal Americas.  The greatest concentration of M’nashe is split into two regions.

I.  The people identified along ancient southern Chinese trade routes in India, Burma, Thailand and other areas of Southeast Asia.  These refugees provide an immediate source of population to inhabit the Shomron as they are homeless and starving.  Rabbi  Eliyahu Avichayil in his book “Ha-Shevitim” (The Tribes) identifies  some 2 million “Shinlung” refugees as part of M’nashe.

II. Native Americans.  Research is ongoing through the Equahiyi-Wasi, a society formed by the Central Band Cherokee under the direction of past principal chief Joe “Sitting Owl” White,  to research archaeological, historical/cultural, linguistic, DNA and spiritual links between all Native American nations and “Abraham” and “Moses.”   The biblical story of a family of M’nashe separated from his brothers could point to Israelite East M’nashe among the 38 Athapascan Language Group nations including the Apache and the Navajo.  Or the set-apart family could be descendants of the Hopi migrating from Mexico and South and Central America and returning to the American Southwest and other parts of the U.S., in accordance with Native American prophesies that predate anything American on this continent.

This means the House of Joseph is shaping up to be a “refugee population” displaced largely by coming Earth changes that will affect coastal regions and “short-sighted” immigration policies in the U.S.

It also means that the Joes worldwide are more than sufficient to dilute the Palestinian majority population in the Shomron so that Israel may proceed with annexation of the region without legitimizing the politics of Palestinian ultra-Nationalism.  And that means many Palestinians may be persuaded to leave the Birthright of Joseph and find their biblical state as described in Zechariah 9.

And for the Israeli political party who solicits and invites the Joes to fulfill the vision of Zion, as a reunion of Joes and Jews, there is a ready-made political constituency of more than 2.5 million, with millions more eventually spilling over into Lebanon and the Gilead  (Zechariah 10:10ff).

Voice of a Wooden Indian: The call for a national initiative to counteract Super PACs and Congress bought by lobbies

Posted on by

O’siyo to all my Relations:

Now that it appears that a disciple of Joseph (156) Smith (510) = 666 will be the GOP nominee, there exists a concern that the “Obama hatred” fomented by the Religious Right, will give the Oval Office to a surrogate Satan.

I also encourage Americans who still believe in this farce of a political system, to take steps now, today, immediately to begin to undermine the undemocratic process it has become.  This can be done by adopting an idea whose time came and went in the 1960s and 1970s. but has swung around again.  Speaking collectively for my generation, after burning our draft cards, chaining ourselves to flagpoles on college campuses, burning Nixon and McNamara in effigy, protesting at the ’68 Democratic Convention and storming the National Guard and marching on Washington did not work, someone — I’m still not sure who it was — came up with the real solution.

The only hope I see today for America is the same hope for which “we” were bloodied and bruised and denied in the late 1960s and 1970s:  An amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving the people a voice through a “national initiative.”  The initiative by a majority vote would allow Americans to overturn anything our  elected by Super PACS and bought-and-paid-for-by-lobbyists Congress would force upon us.  When Congress is “bought,” and the election is rigged with unlimited negative ads about which the media will not complain, the people have no other alternative.

Thirteen years ago to this day, (I drafted this on Friday, April 13), I was invited to address a group of Georgia “constitutional lawyers” and warned that playing politics with the Supreme Court was the formula that would doom America.  I explained in some detail the laws of Torah that were being ignored in our judicial system and concluded, “The Almighty will tolerate many things before He will judge, but when “Justice Perverts Justice,” I warned, Judgment is near at hand.”  This is because Justice is Grandfather’s (The Almighty’s) attribute.  (“When ‘Justice’ Perverts Justice,” ALG,  2 hours, 4-13-99, now available on DVD).

Thanks to the perversion Gog Walker Bush — an earlier 666 in the Oval Office — allowed our Supreme Court to become, corporations are people and unlike ordinary people, they are people who can assemble SUPER PACs (political action committees) with multiple millions of dollars.  And unlike ordinary people, Corporations do not have human feelings. And so our “constitutionally sanctioned” Supreme Court and Law of the Land is bought and paid for and in the pockets of whatever president or political party is controlled  by these mega-millions and their negative advertising.

So my “anti-government” sentiment is not misunderstood or perhaps I should say understood out of perspective, I need to relate some family history.

My late grandfather, of blessed memory, was half Cherokee and detested the government on every level, mostly because with the help of the government, his “oil-rich” property was stolen.  And after that when he just wanted to drink his troubles away in peace, they would not let him make his whiskey – which he never sold to anybody but just drank himself. “Ain’t no personal liberty,” he told me many times.  Maybe it was to get back at him, maybe not, but about two years before Grandfather saw fit to let me enter this life, my late mother, of most blessed memory was charged with murder. Front page banner headlines every day in the Shreveport Times.  She was acquitted but might as well have been convicted because of the ostracizing she received ESPECIALLY FROM CHURCH-GOING CHRISTIANS.

As often happens in mixed Native circles, I had three stepsisters by two different fathers and two different mothers and two siblings with my parents, so I grew up with a family framework similar to Joseph but with sisters.  (I’ll trade 10 older brothers for older sisters any day of the week and twice on Shabbat).  After surviving third degree burns to my face and head (all of my skin was burned off) at age 4, I was the quiet one in the family.  My mother used to tease me about being “her K’alija,” a wooden Indian.  Looking back on things today, I can see that one of the things that bonded my Mom and I so closely was that we both were emotional crutches for one another — her after the horrendous crime for which she was acquitted and me for not even appearing human after the fire.

“Wooden Indian” stuck for a while, and I learned from her years later that she had called me this because on the day I was born, August 31, 1952, Hank Williams Sr., wrote his song, about a “wooden Indian” named “Kaw-liga (K’alijah). (I found out only a few years ago that there was actually a Chief among the Creek Nation called by this name.  He, according to the best research then available, was named after the prophet, Elijah).

Hank recorded “Kaw-liga” the next day, Sept. 1, 1952, on the radio in Nashville and apparently my Mom who was a fan of “Louisiana Opry,” heard that song at some point.

It became her favorite and was the first music I can remember hearing.  When the recording was later released on an album after Hank Williams death on Jan. 1, 1953, it was No. 1 for 14 weeks, before it was overtaken by a song on the opposite side of the LP, “Your Cheatin’ Heart.”  But my earliest memories are my dear mother, squeezing aloe vera juice on my burns as she would sing along with Hank,  “Kawliga.”  But we made up our own stanzas.  One was about what a wooden Indian would speak if given a voice, having heard everything said from every viewpoint imaginable if it stood outside a barber shop for instance.

Growing up “mixed,” anything Native sounding on the radio drew attention.  Cher was a big hit with us, first because she was Cherokee and she sung about our Cherokee Nation, which I ached to know anything about. My only exposure growing up was accompanying my half-Cherokee grandfather to a few places when I was very young.   But my hero – and the hero of every Native mixed or not — was Billy Jack.   I was even gifted with a Stetson like his, which I wear to this day.

The Billy Jack movies are admittedly fictional, but Tom Laughlin was mixed and most of the details of the movies are based on actual facts, except “Billy Jack Goes To Washington,” which was a movie with a clear political motive, I will explain below.

In the first Billy Jack, “Born Losers,” (1967), which I saw shortly after my family relocated to southern Louisiana in a movie house that had neutria running down the aisles!, we learn why Billy Jack had to learn to become a “wooden Indian.”  He was a Vietnam veteran who returned to the canyon in Southern Colorado in which he was raised by a full-blood who taught him Native ways.  After witnessing but refusing to be a part of a Me-Lai type massacre, he attempted to become a pacifist.  But in the movies, every distraction possible from that goal takes place.  He has to confront his inner demons and his anger, which almost kills him.

The later 1971 “Billy Jack” and the 1974 “Trial of Billy Jack” took place during my college years at LSU.  Between the two, I moderated a panel discussion between representatives of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the American Indian Movement, sponsored by the LSU Student Government Association.  It was quite a heated discussion, which I allowed to heat up but kept from getting volatile because the AIM participants at that time were being patronized, marginalized and minimalized by the BIA bureaucrats.  However, this piqued my interest so that Billy Jack movies were almost a cult and to this day I can still recite most of the few lines Billy Jack spoke.  (His feet did most of the talking).

These two movies were supervised by full-bloods and are factually correct in just about every detail, including the spirit visitations inside the purification lodge.   I would encourage all from Ephraim who want to better know the heart and soul and spirituality of Native M’nashe to watch these movies, if possible.  I would especially point out the Dance of Welcome in the second movie, simply called, “Billy Jack” (1971).  This is the dance given to Native Americans by our Big Brother Jesus at Walker Lake, Nevada in 1890.   It later became the Ghost Dance of Sittingbull after which it was outlawed by the Federal Government. The Native American prophet, Wovoca, is quoted.  If anyone doubts these accounts, rest assured I have personally researched the newspaper accounts, which were full of Wovoca and the so-called “Indian messiah.”  The dance is similar to a Hebrew hora but is done in a spiral instead of a wide circle.  Little did I realize when returning from Israel in 2001 that Grandfather would plant me among Native brothers in Colorado whose goal is to revive this Dance of Welcome.  If any would like to help this project financially, contact me and I will put you in touch with Jimmy Tenrivers.

Convinced after his release after serving an unjust imprisonment that “the American conscious is dead” and “the Great Spirit can never be revived” without there first being a Judgment Day (the theme song of the movies), Billy’s inner spirit tells him, “Before turning from society, to do the best he can to change it.”

Ordinarily, Native Americans, especially full-bloods shy from American politics.  But the injustices toward Native Americans led to the establishment of the Native American White Roots of Peace Council.  This was an attempt by the Twin-Fires (Hopi and Cherokee) to advise Washington against the Vietnam War and other “black roads” such as nuclear proliferation and the rape of the environment by strip-mining … and also relate some of our Native American prophesies that pertain to Turtle Island’s fate, long before it was called America.   Led by the Membreno Apache Mad Bear Anderson the delegation of mostly Hopi and Cherokee was invited to the United Nations but not Washington.  However they were invited to speak to the U.N. delegation only in the late evening hours when few attended.

The movies are a result of this “snub” to the White Roots of Peace Council, for which ironically, years later, I held the talking stick with the eagle feather to speak to the 500 Nations about the Birthright concern, and therefore had to learn of the council’s initial goals and history.  The goals were to 1) Give the Twin-Fires their due voice before American leaders, which American leaders have ignored to their own peril 2) Promote the Great Law of the Haudenausaunee (6 Nation Iroquois confederacy) which was the model adopted by Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and others for the U.S. Constitution.  Only the G’yana Shagowa (the Great Law) included provisions the patriarchally-framed Constitution did not:  “No poor, no orphans and no jails and perpetual matriarchal rule.”

When Daganaweida, a “pale” Huron appeared with the Great Law around 950 C.E., both his mother and grandmother attested he was “born of a virgin.”  He set up his J’consaseh (matriarchal rule) less than 15 miles from the front door of what would later become the boyhood home of Joseph Smith.  (Another whole can of worms).  See www.torah-voice.org/BoMDCT.htm

The series of Billy Jack movies ends with a mixed Native coming to Washington, something expressly forbidden for full-bloods and frowned upon for mixed because of the evil, corrupting influence of politics.  If you have never seen these movies, I do not want to ruin them for you.  But Billy Jack concludes as I am doing again today for about the 2,000th time in the past 40 years since those movies surfaced, our only hope against the lobbyists is a “national initiative” amendment.

Ironically, Sen. Billy Jack communicates this hope with a filibuster.  The wooden Indian he became finally gets his chance to speak about the initiative and (in the movie) brings about the repentance of the very senator who tried to have him removed from Washington.

“National initiative” is what this ole “wooden Indian” would speak today having seen and heard it all.
