TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 55: 69, Revelation chapter 10: Where was the Little Book Opened?

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 55

In our last few presentations, which have constituted several of our 100 Proofs, we had compared prophecies in Daniel and in the Revelation and demonstrated their fulfillment in European history. These prophecies being poetic allegories of things to come prove the truth of God once their fulfillment is realized, and the history of no other people have fulfilled these prophecies but White Europeans, among whom they were fulfilled with remarkable precision. Once that is recognized, the fact that White Europeans are the Old Testament Israelites, while Jews, Arabs and Turks are all devils, is clearly and fully elucidated. Now we shall progress a little further on in the Revelation, to an event which was prophesied to occur shortly after the Islamic invasions of Europe. While the Revelation is not so complete that it foretells all of history, it is sufficiently complete for us to understand that Yahshua, or Jesus Christ does indeed have the prescience of God.

So with this we shall embark on a discussion of Revelation chapter 10, and ask a question for which the answer also reveals the true identity of the people of God. Before we begin, we must see that Yahweh God had promised to plead with His people in the wilderness to which they were sent following the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. This is relevant to our next three proofs, determining where the little book of Revelation chapter 10 was opened, the identity of the two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11, and the location of the woman who fled to the wilderness, depicted in Revelation chapter 12.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 54

We had left off in our last presentation with a discussion of the little horn of Daniel chapter 8 and our interpretation identifying it as a reference to Mohammed and the creation of Islam. Doing that, we used Isadore of Seville as an example of the anti-Jewish political climate of the era, in which it becomes evident that Jews would certainly be motivated to find a method by which to combat the rise of Christianity in Europe for the benefit of their own interests. Two canons proposed by Isadore had become law, whereby crypto-Jews would be deprived of their own children, and all Jews would be forbidden to hold public office, even if they claimed to be Christians. So we also see that in the early 7th century, Jews were considered as a race, and not merely as a religion. Then we presented evidence from citations compiled by Clifton Emahiser revealing that Mohammed was one such racial Jew, at least on the side of his mother. Even the early stories of the founding of Islam relate accounts of Mohammed’s having received the approval of Jewish rabbis before he first left Mecca.

Before we continue our discussion of Mohammed, there are two things we have discussed previously upon which I would like to elaborate. The first are the four divisions of Alexander’s empire. After his death, there was no clear heir to succeed him, and his son, who later became known as Alexander IV, had not yet been born. Alexander had a half brother named Philip III. After a fierce rivalry, Alexander’s half-brother Philip Arrhidaeus ruled for a short time as king of Macedonia, with Perdiccas, Alexander’s former bodyguard and cavalry general serving as regent. But both Philip and Alexander’s infant son were ultimately murdered. Perdiccas later died in Egypt, after a failed attempt to take that portion of the empire from Ptolemy. After Macedon, the other three divisions of the empire were the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the Seleucid Empire in Syria and the east, and the Kingdom of Pergamon in western Asia Minor.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 53

Throughout the past several presentations in this series we have been discussing the great world empires which Daniel had prophesied first from a vision experienced by Nebuchadnezzar, and then from a vision of his own, which are recorded in Daniel chapters 2 and 7. From there, we presented an interpretation of the little horn of Daniel chapter 7, and the two beasts of Revelation chapter 13. The first beast of that chapter was described as the same series of empires, and the second as the Roman Catholic papacy, an office which had acquired its power when it was ordained by the emperor Justinian, for which reason we identify him with the little horn of Daniel chapter 7. Now we shall take the next step into Daniel chapters 8 and 11, and discuss the visions of the ram and the goat, and of four Persian kings. After that, we hope to discuss another little horn, which is prophesied later in Daniel chapter 8. As we already hope to have elucidated, once it is realized that all of these prophecies of future history recorded by Daniel and John were fulfilled in the White tribes of Europe and Mesopotamia, then there should be no doubt that the White nations of Christian Europe are the descendants of the ancient Israelites, who were certainly also White.

66) The Ram, the Goat, and Four Persian Kings

The vision in Daniel chapter 7, of the four beast empires followed by a little horn, is broad in scope and was experienced by Daniel in the first year of Belshazzar, who was the son of Nabonidus, the fourth and final successor of Nebuchadnezzar II, and the last independent Babylonian king. Belshazzar served in Babylon as regent for his father for most of his rule, but never had the title of king which belonged to his father. Nebuchadnezzar ascended to the Babylonian throne in 605 BC, and soon thereafter had defeated Pharaoh Necho II at the battle of Carchemish. After the fall of Assyria in 612 BC, the Egyptians had hoped to gain portions of the empire to which they had historical ties or claims. In 609 BC Josiah, King of Judah, was also killed in that endeavor, as he confronted Necho when he had passed through Judah with his armies. But the defeat of Necho ensured that the Babylonians would succeed the Assyrians as rulers of the Adamic world. Nebuchadnezzar died in 562 BC, and the next four kings were all relatively short-lived up to Nabonidus, who along with his son Belshazzar had orchestrated a coup against his predecessor and had then ruled for about 17 years.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 52

Discussing our presentation of Proof 63 in our series, our interpretation of the little horn of Daniel chapter 7, we asserted as a fact that the emperor Justinian is that little horn. Now we shall correlate that prophecy with the prophecy of the two beasts found in Revelation chapter 13. As we have already hoped to have demonstrated here, once the identity of these empires and beasts found in these prophecies from Daniel and the Revelation are established, there should be no doubt that the White nations of Christian Europe are the descendants of the ancient Israelites, who were certainly also White.

65) Daniel 7 and the Two Beasts of Revelation 13

As we had done in proof # 63 in relation to Daniel chapter 7, here we will also begin to present this subject as it was discussed at length in a paper titled The “Little Horn” of Daniel chapter 7, a review of a paper by Clifton Emahiser, which was presented at Christogenea last November. But because of its length and the fact that the paper addresses other peripheral topics which are not pertinent here, we will only follow it for a few paragraphs. Doing this, we will continue to speak of that little horn of Daniel chapter 7, as it lays a firm foundation upon which we can interpret Revelation chapter 13.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 51

In our last presentation we discussed Nebuchadnezzar’s vision in Daniel chapter 2 and the series of world empires of which it prophecies, ending with Rome. This prophecy proves once again that the Germanic tribes are the true people of Yahweh God as it was they who had destroyed and supplanted those empires, ultimately establishing Christian kingdoms in their place. Then we moved on to a very similar vision which Daniel himself had and which was described in Daniel chapter 7. But while the explanation of the vision of the four beasts clearly describes the same series of four empires, it is broader in scope and portrays in greater detail some of the things which would happen after the passing of those four empires. So here we are in the middle of that discussion, and when it is completed, we must conclude once again that the only valid interpretation of the character of the little horn of Daniel chapter 7 also proves that the Germanic tribes are the Israelites of the Old Testament Scriptures.

64) The Little Horn of Daniel Chapter 7, continued

Before we begin I have a clarification to make, as I admitted recently that I could not remember whether the Franks were Christian or not before the fall of Rome. But in Book 5 of his History of the Wars of Justinian, in chapter 5, Procopius described a letter written by Justinian appealing for Frankish support in the war against the Goths based on the commonality of their orthodox Christian faith. So apparently the Franks were Christian by that time, and they were Catholic Christians, while the Goths were Arian Christians. This I found in my notes on Procopius while preparing for today’s presentation. Bede, in Book 5, chapter 10 of his Ecclesiastical History, had described missions of Christians in Britain and Ireland to convert to Christianity the Franks and Saxons on the Continent, many of which seemed to be successful.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 50

In our last two presentations in this series, discussing Jacob’s blessings for Ephraim and Manasseh which are found in Genesis chapter 48, for Joseph in Genesis chapter 49 and the later blessing for Joseph given by Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 33, we hope to have shown how those blessings were ultimately fulfilled in European history. As we have also said, the denominational churches ignore these prophecies which with all certainty inform us of the destiny of the children of Israel in captivity, while they pretend that the ancient children of Israel cannot be identified, or perhaps no longer even exist. But it is only common sense, that previously unknown nations which arose from places to which the children of Israel were sent in captivity would have derived from the children of Israel. Now, after having discussed prophecies that make this illustration which are found in Isaiah and Micah, we hope to continue this same demonstration from prophecies found in the book of Daniel.

63) Who Destroyed Rome?

We had already discussed the prophecy of the four beasts of Daniel chapter 2 in Proof 34, which is found in part 12 of this series of podcasts. There we had identified the four kingdoms of Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s vision of a beast made of four metals, gold, silver, bronze and iron. The four kingdoms which the beast represents would rule “wheresoever the children of men dwell”, and we see that those kingdoms ruled over the White nations of Europe, Mesopotamia, Northern Africa and the Near East.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 49

In our last presentation in this series, discussing the blessings of Ephraim and Manasseh found in Genesis chapter 48, we hope to have elucidated from certain prophecies of Isaiah and a discussion of early European history how those blessings were ultimately fulfilled. The denominational churches ignore these prophecies which inform us of precisely where the children of Israel would go after escaping the Assyrians. It is only common sense, that nations which arise from places to which the children of Israel were sent in captivity, would be from of the children of Israel. Then they willfully remain ignorant of the fact that the apostles of Christ went to Europe as well as to Mesopotamia and Anatolia because they knew where the children of Israel were scattered. Yet it was his knowledge of prophecy as well as classical history that gave Paul of Tarsus the confidence to tell the Galatians that the law was their schoolmaster to bring them to Christ, and to tell the Corinthians that all their fathers were under the cloud with Moses. So now we shall discuss this same development from a prophecy found in Micah chapter 4.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 48, The Fulfillment of the blessings for Ephraim and Manasseh in the context of Isaiah 66:19

In our last presentation in this series, we discussed the blessings of Ephraim and Manasseh found in Genesis chapter 48, where Jacob had prophesied that they would become a great nation and a company of nations. While we explained that each of the twelve tribes were nations in their own right, Ephraim and Manasseh were the only two tribes explicitly blessed in this manner. Therefore we may justly expect those tribes to be manifest as nations in history beyond the other tribes. So while it is not necessary or even plausible to believe that the United States and Great Britain wholly represent these two tribes in the modern world, it is plausible that the development of these nations from certain of the Germanic peoples represents the fulfillment of this prophecy. But as these nations developed, it is evident that they were eventually joined by elements of the other tribes, while portions of them certainly also stayed behind in their previous European settlements.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 47

In our last presentation in this series, we discussed the apparent fulfillment of the blessings upon the tribes of Dan, Asher, Zebulun, Naphtali in relation to the blessings which the tribes had received from Jacob and Moses. We had already discussed Judah and Levi. Now we shall discuss the sons of Joseph, Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin. We cannot illustrate the fulfillment of all of the blessings for every one of the twelve tribes, and if we tried we would be forced into much conjecture. Some of the blessings have interpretations which may be considered subjective, and their fulfillment may be difficult to notice. But we can make the assertion that if we see plain fulfillments for some aspects of the blessings for at least many of the tribes, then we can be certain that all of the blessings have been realized, and shall continue to be realized as our history progresses.

Before we proceed, we must warn against trying to identify all of the tribes of ancient Israel with modern tribes or nations of Europe today solely by the nature of certain features of their blessings. For that reason, we will not discuss every tribe in relation to these blessings. In our last podcast, we mentioned the blessings of Asher, Zebulun and Naphtali in relation to the history of the Phoenicians, but other tribes may well have been blessed through that same history. For example, Moses had blessed Zebulun and Issachar together and said “they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.” So even though there is little evidence convincing us to connect Issachar to the Phoenicians in history or in Scripture, it is apparent that arguments can be made for such a connection in Scripture.

Adamic Eternity: The Greatest Discovery

Adamic Eternity: The Greatest Discovery

Here I am going to make a solitary presentation on a subject which I have discussed quite often in many of our longer series of Biblical commentaries. There is nothing more disappointing than seeing an Identity Christian, or at least, someone who professes to understand Christian Identity truths, who still carries the baggage of the denominational churches and their false doctrines, doctrines which were constructed centuries ago by a priesthood which sought little else but to maintain its own control over the minds of the people, usually in concert with various governments. This is especially true where those doctrines are persistently maintained by such Christians, but are clearly contrary to the plain word of Scripture.

So one result of false Church doctrine is that we have White men who seek to condemn one another to the fires of eternal destruction for some sin which they themselves think is too horrible to forgive, or which is far more grievous than their own sins. Yet only Yahweh God can judge men, because only God knows the hearts of men, which is to say that only He can know why men did certain things at certain times, rather than merely just what they did, and all the factors which drove them to do such things. To understand that, He must know everything that a particular man had learned throughout his own life, which led him to make such choices.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 46

Here we shall continue our explanation of how many of the blessings of Jacob and Moses upon the twelve tribes of Israel had evidently been fulfilled in the history of the development of European culture and civilization. So far we have presented a review of the outcomes of the blessings of Judah and Levi, and now we shall move on to discuss the blessings bestowed upon the tribe of Dan, and then of some of the other northern tribes of Israel, those which can be associated with the Phoenicians. Because the false claims of the Jews to be Israelites has generally been accepted for many centuries, and the false perception that Canaan was always a land of dark-skinned arabs, there is much confusion in modern academia concerning the identity of both Danaans and Phoenicians.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 45

Here we shall continue our explanation of how many of the blessings of Jacob and Moses upon the twelve tribes of Israel had evidently been fulfilled in the history of the development of European culture and civilization. As we have already said, when the promises were made to Abraham, that his seed would become many nations, there was no Germany, England, France nor any other European nation as we know them, and most of the tribes which ultimately became the nations of modern Europe were not yet in Europe. That is because they mostly descended from the ancient Israelites of our Bibles, but usually by the time they arrived in Europe they had assumed other names. So we began this review of the blessings with Judah, and now we are in the middle of our discussion of Levi.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 44

In our last presentation in this series, we discussed the blessings of Jacob and Moses upon the twelve tribes of Israel. Now we shall explain further how many of these blessings had evidently been fulfilled in the history of the development of European culture and civilization. When the promises were made to Abraham, that his seed would become many nations, there were only scattered tribes of Japhethites in Europe, and perhaps some other Shemites, such as the Lydians. There was no Germany or England as we know them, and most of the tribes which ultimately became the nations of modern Europe were not yet in Europe. That is because they mostly descended from the ancient Israelites of our Bibles, but usually by the time they arrived in Europe they had assumed other names.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 43

In our last presentation in this series, we discussed the blessings and curses which were prophesied to come upon the children of Israel for their obedience or disobedience to their God, and how they help to establish that White Europeans are indeed the true Israelites of Scripture. Now in that same manner we shall discuss the blessings of Jacob and Moses upon the twelve tribes of Israel. Later, in subsequent proofs, we shall explain further how many of these blessings have been fulfilled.

55) The blessings for the twelve tribes in the words of Jacob and the song of Moses.

In Genesis chapter 48 there is a description of Joseph’s having visited his father Jacob upon receiving news that he was sick, and bringing his two sons with him, Ephraim and Manasseh. This was probably not an ordinary event, as Joseph was still living as an Egyptian and an officer in the government, and Jacob was living in the land given to him, in Goshen (which was also called Rameses), which is made evident in Genesis chapter 47.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 42

In our last few presentations in this series, we discussed many aspects of Jacob and Esau in prophecy, all of which also show that the modern day Jews are Edomites, and not Israelites, that they are a people accursed by God, and that the position which they have attained today in world economics and politics was also a subject of Biblical prophecy, Esau having been foretold that he would one day break the yoke of Jacob and gain dominion. The fact that Jews were the chattel property of Christian kings throughout Medieval European history underscores the truth of our interpretation of these prophecies. Now we shall turn the page completely, and discuss the blessings and curses which were prophesied to come upon the children of Israel for their obedience or disobedience to their God These also help to establish that White Europeans are indeed the true Israelites of Scripture.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 41: 53, The Nature of Esau in the New Testament

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 41

In our last few presentations in this series, we have already discussed many aspects of Jacob and Esau in prophecy. There and earlier in this series we had also discussed how it was that many of the Judaeans of the time of Christ were actually Edomites, and not Israelites. We also discussed the first two chapters of the prophecy of Malachi at length, and how Malachi begins with a comparison of Jacob and Esau before spending the rest of those two chapters admonishing the priests for their corruption of the priesthood. Without a doubt, Malachi helps to put into a proper Biblical perspective both the history of the period and the composition of the people of Judaea as it was recorded by Flavius Josephus and mentioned by Strabo of Cappadocia, and also the contention between Christ and His adversaries as it was recorded in John chapter 8. This in turn is all supported by the explanation of the divisions among the Judaeans by Paul of Tarsus in Romans chapter 9, where he compared Jacob and Esau and cited the opening verses of Malachi. Now we shall see the nature and characteristics of Esau which are evident in the New Testament. All of this background history is seen to fulfill the words of Isaac in the blessings which he granted to both Jacob and Esau, and the related circumstances which we see in the accounts of the lives of those patriarchs in the Book of Genesis. The background history, as well as the prophecy, is also the only valid way with which to view the cause of the divisions among first-century Judaeans in respect to Christ, as that is also the explanation of the apostles themselves.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 40: 52, Jacob and Esau in Prophecy, continued

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 40

Here we will continue our discussion of the bigger picture of Jacob and Esau in prophecy. To us, it is fully apparent in history, as the history of the White world has been recorded, that ever since Abraham placed Isaac on the altar dedicating him to Yahweh, world history has revolved around the blessings which Isaac had given to Jacob and Esau, and the resulting struggle between them and their respective descendants. Once the parties of Scripture are correctly identified, that struggle is manifest throughout history down to this very day. This is fully relevant to the circumstances under which we live in the modern world.

As we have explained, Malachi, the last prophet of the Old Testament, had begun his discussion of the corrupted priesthood with a portrayal of the mistaken concern which Jacob would have for Esau. This served as the basis upon which Malachi then condemned the priests, and it explains the division among the people of Judaea in the time of Christ, of which Malachi had also prophesied. This understanding of Biblical prophecy helps to explain very precisely the circumstances under which we live today, as world Jewry is the center of global politics and international attention, and as Christians – especially those in America – support Jewry without question, going so far as to worship Jews rather than Jesus. At the same time, World Jewry is at the vanguard of every policy favoring people of other races and nations to the detriment, and even to the destruction of White nations. This is not a coincidence, as we have seen that Esau had wanted to kill Jacob as soon as he realized that Jacob received his father’s blessing.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 39: 52, Jacob and Esau in Prophecy

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 39

Having completed our discussion of the corrupted priesthood and our interpretation of the words of the prophet Malachi in that regard, which in turn illuminate the reasons for the divisions between Christ and His adversaries as they are described in John chapter 8, it is now appropriate to discuss the bigger picture of Jacob and Esau in prophecy. These things certainly are related, as that is how even Malachi had begun his discussion of the corrupted priesthood, with a portrayal of the mistaken concern which Jacob would have for Esau. This portrayal serves as the very basis upon which Malachi condemns the priests. However the relationship between Jacob and Esau goes far beyond the priesthood, and Biblical prophecy helps to explain the very circumstances under which we live today, as world Jewry is the center of global politics and international attention, as Christians – especially those in America – support Jewry without question, going so far as to worship Jews more than Jesus. So that concern which Malachi portrayed is prophetic, and that also fits into the proper explanation of those same circumstances.

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.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 37: 51, Malachi and the corrupted priesthood

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.
