TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 38

In our last presentation in this series we began to discuss the admonitions of a corrupted priesthood in the words of the prophet Malachi, and again we should note how that corresponds with the warnings of Peter and Jude, that a certain caste of intruders and infiltrators had corrupted the assemblies and doctrines of the people of God in ancient times. They also warned that they would continue to do so in the Christian era. As we have also recently discussed, both Paul of Tarsus and the apostle John had described those same infiltrators in different terms, even labeling them as Satan and as Antichrists. Now, in keeping with this same theme, we are going to continue our discussion of the prophecy of Malachi and the corruption of the priesthood for which he had admonished the priests of his own time several centuries before the ministry of Christ. Doing that we may see that Malachi prophesied concerning the very circumstances in Judaea of which Christ had spoken, for which He condemned His adversaries and of which the apostles of Christ had written. As we shall also see, some of these prophecies were fulfilled quite explicitly during the ministry of Christ.

On the Epistles of John, Part 1: Light and the Word of Life

Now we shall endeavor a commentary on the epistles of John, which is the very last portion of a New Testament commentary that we began to write and present on Friday evenings here in early 2011. When I began my commentary on the epistles of Paul in March of 2014, I wrote in part that “Even though this marks the mid-point of the New Testament Commentary which I hope to complete here on these Friday evenings, which I had begun in early 2011 with the Gospel of Matthew, a translation of Paul is where I actually began the work which had eventually become the Christogenea New Testament, about 15 years ago.” Now it has been 22 years, as I began studying Greek in early 1999 with the sole intent of one day translating Paul’s epistles, and actually completed that endeavor in 2004. Then in 2005 I translated the New Testament books written by Luke, and by the Summer of 2007 those written by John. I finished the project, which I never really imagined I would finish, with translations of the other Gospels and epistles by the end of Spring, 2008.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 37

Over the last several presentations in this series we have discussed the warnings of Peter and Jude, that a certain caste of intruders and infiltrators had corrupted the assemblies and doctrines of the people of God in ancient times, and that they would continue to do so in the Christian era. These infiltrators were clearly linked by both apostles to the fallen angels, and described as a race which is both distinct from and hostile to the children of Israel. Doing that, we had cited passages from Paul of Tarsus where he had described those same infiltrators in different terms, even labeling them as Satan. Then finally, where we had last left off, we discussed these infiltrators once again from the perspective of the apostle John, how he had described them as a race of antichrists who came from among the Judaeans, but who were not actually of the same origins as the Christians of Judaea, and therefore they could not have been true Israelites. Now, in keeping with this same theme, we are going to discuss the prophet Malachi and the corruption of the priesthood which he had prophesied centuries before the ministry of Christ, and thereby we may see that Malachi prophesied concerning the very circumstances in Judaea of which Christ had spoken, and the apostles of Christ had written, and some of these prophecies were played out explicitly during the ministry of Christ.
