The Ordering and Chronology of the Ministry and Epistles of Paul, Part 1: The Travelling Epistles

Here I hope to gather into one place my interpretations of the time and place of the writing of each of the epistles of Paul of Tarsus. Here we shall discuss the travelling epistles, a name which I am giving to Paul’s first 8 epistles in order to distinguish them from the other 6 which were written while Paul was a prisoner. So for this endeavor, I have collected at least most of the information from what I had already presented in our commentaries for each of the epistles of Paul and in our earlier commentary on the Book of Acts, all of which spanned about a hundred and fifty-five podcast presentations from April, 2013 through December, 2017. This I believe is important as a reference guide, first because we have had a skeleton article on the Ordering and chronology of the epistles of Paul in the References section at Christogenea since August of 2015 which I have long hoped to complete. But more importantly, there is much misinformation in many popular and supposedly authoritative academic sources concerning the ministry of Paul and the writing of his epistles, and it is convenient to have our own opinions of these things in one single article.

Doing this it will seem as if we are taking it for granted that Paul had written all fourteen of the epistles which are commonly attributed to him. But the truth of that assertion should become even more evident as we proceed here, giving our reasons detailing both when and from where each of the epistles were written, and, in certain cases, also as to why they were written. Furthermore, while for different reasons the Christogenea New Testament generally presents Paul’s epistles in the traditional order found in other Bibles, we made exceptions, especially with Hebrews and placed it before the four personal epistles which were addressed to Timothy, Titus and Philemon. That we did in order to make a statement confirming our belief that Paul was indeed the author of the epistle to the Hebrews. But here we shall begin with the earliest epistle which Paul had written, and proceed in the chronological order in which we believe he had written them all.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 63

In our last few presentations here we have been discussing themes found in the ministry and epistles of Paul of Tarsus which help to establish that the nations to whom he had brought the gospel were indeed the same nations which had descended from the ancient children of Israel. So we have already discussed the substance of Paul’s Commission from Christ, how Paul himself had applied his commission, the subjects of Biblical redemption and what Paul had meant by the phrase strangers from the covenants. Now we shall continue with the subject of adoption, as that word, as it appears in English Bibles, is only found in Paul’s epistles, and it has a very specific application.

83) The Adoption of Israel

Just as the denominational churches try to extend the redemption which Yahweh had explictly promised to the children of Israel to other races and nations, they do that same thing with this concept of adoption. However the word only appears in Paul’s epistles, three times in Romans, and once each in Galatians and Ephesians, and Paul himself states explicitly that the adoption is for Israel, in relation to Israelites who are his own kinsmen “according to the flesh”. There is not a single statement in Scripture which suggests that the adoption of which Paul had spoken could possibly be attained by anyone who is not of his flesh, who could somehow imagine that he may magically become an Israelite.

In our last two proofs, we discussed Paul’s commission as an apostle from Yahshua Christ, which states that he was to bear the Name of Christ “before both the Nations and kings of the sons of Israel.” Doing this, we demonstrated how Paul had interpreted that commission as being to the twelve tribes of Israel, and also how he fulfilled it, by bringing the Gospel of Christ to the nations of Europe. Now we shall discuss other aspects of Paul’s epistles which also prove these things, that Paul brought the Gospel to Europe because he knew with all certainty that Europe is where the children of Israel had been scattered abroad, as well as Anatolia and other areas to the north of Palestine. But the scope of these subjects are not all limited to Paul’s epistles.

81) The Subjects of Redemption

There are often assertions made by denominational churches that Jesus came to redeem all of mankind, or all men, as a reference to every single biped that has ever existed, regardless of race or any other aspect of a man’s existence. Then they use the same concept to force Christians to accept people of all races, and even grievous sinners such as sodomites or fornicators. But is that assertion really true? Did Jesus come to redeem all of mankind? Or do the Scriptures inform us explicitly that Christ came to redeem only certain or particular men. And if the Scriptures inform us that Christ redeemed only a certain race or family of men, how can the churches change that on their own? Who gave them the authority, if it is not found in the Word of God?

In Parts 25 through 31 of this series, we presented what we had designated as Proof 45, a discussion of Specific NT Verse misteachings, mistranslations or corruptions in the epistles of Paul. Now we shall revisit Paul’s epistles, as they contain many testimonies that serve as stand-alone proofs of the identity of the true children of Israel. Some of these proofs may include our own translations, and we will not always preoccupy ourselves with explaining all of the nuances of translation again since we already discussed it in Proof 45, however we shall repeat what is necessary. Paul is of the utmost importance to an understanding of apostolic Christianity, since he was the first apostle who is recorded as having brought the Gospel to Europe, and that must have been in accordance with the specific commission which the apostle had received from Christ to bring His gospel to a specific people, as well as Paul’s own descriptions in relation to that commission. So for that same reason, we shall begin with Paul’s commission, and how he himself had understood his commission.

79) Paul’s Commission from Christ

Paul of Tarsus had been persecuting Judaean Christians, and especially those who had moved outside of Jerusalem to Damascus, after he witnessed the stoning of Stephen which is recorded at the end of Acts chapter 7. Then, after the Road to Damascus event in Acts chapter 8, where Christ had appeared to him, we read that he is taken to Damascus to the home of a man named Hananias. But Hananias was dubious of Paul’s intentions, as he knew that he had been persecuting Christians. So we read in Acts chapter 9: “13 And Hananias replied ‘Prince, I have heard from many concerning this man, how much evil he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem, 14 and thus he has authority from the high priests to bind all of those being called by Your Name.’ 15 But the Prince said to him ‘Go! For he is a vessel chosen by Me who is to bear My Name before both the Nations and kings of the sons of Israel.’ As we have already explained, the King James Version has “Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel”, however the particle joining the phrases, τε, does not translate simply into the English word and, as does the particle καί. In his Greek-English Lexicon, Joseph Thayer states that τε differs from the particle καί, the usual word translated as and, where καί is conjunctive, but τε is adjunctive and that “καί introduces something new under the same aspect yet as an external addition, whereas τε marks it as having an inner connection with what precedes” (Thayer, τε, p. 616, column B).” So we stand by our translation of the phrase as being the correct translation.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 60

In our last presentation we discussed the words of the apostles of Christ which demonstrate that they were addressing twelve tribes, and not merely some church. Once that is elucidated, it also becomes clear that the church is a gathering from people of those twelve tribes, and not a disparate collection of mere “believers” who claim to be Christians even in spite of the words of Christ, who had said that He came only for the children of Israel. In that last presentation we found that the name of Israel still belongs to those same twelve tribes, that it is they alone who would wash their garments in the blood of the Lamb, and that they are also the subject of the Song of Moses. Now we shall examine the Song of Moses and what that means, because if that is the song which is being sung in the Revelation, then that also can only apply to those same ancient twelve tribes of Israel.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 59

In our last presentation we discussed the prophecies concerning the blindness of Israel and the fact that those same people were the blind whose blindness Christ had come to heal, even if today they are still blind in many ways, as the period of seven times punishment and the prophesy of the time of Jacob’s trouble would also have to be fulfilled, things which are confirmed in the Revelation of Yahshua Christ. We also described the Kingdom of Heaven, that it must be the same kingdom which the children of Israel were promised in the Old Testament once they are reconciled to Yahweh their God, a reconciliation which is also found in Christ. Now we shall move on to discuss other language in the Gospel accounts and related passages in the Revelation, which inform us that the name of Israel still belongs to those same twelve tribes, that it is they alone who would wash their garments in the blood of the Lamb, and that they are also the subject of the Song of Moses.

75) Israel would be twelve tribes, and not some “church”.

As it is recorded in Matthew chapter 19, the apostles witnessed a wealthy young man asking questions about salvation of Christ, and boasting of how he himself had kept the law. So Christ informed him of what to do further if he wanted to be perfect, and the man was saddened, since he could not bring himself to part with his wealth. That does not mean that the young man will not attain the kingdom of God. Although Christ expresses the difficulty a wealthy man may have in living an ideal Christian life, He nevertheless states that all things are possible with God. So we read: “23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” So here we see that in spite of his love for his wealth, the rich young man could still attain salvation. The promises of salvation were to the children of Israel, without exception, and not for only the rich or the poor. So Peter spoke to Christ and asked another question on behalf of himself and the other disciples: “27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 58

We have recently discussed several of these 100 Proofs which were related to the facts that the children of Israel would be scattered, and then regathered into their own land, which is found in Europe, and there they would receive reconciliation to Yahweh through Christ. These proofs were manifested in our interpretations of the opening of the little book in Revelation chapter 10, the two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11, and the destiny and plight of the woman in the wilderness in Revelation chapter 12, where that same woman had later become a whore in Revelation chapter 17. This situation explains the circumstances of our world today. Now we shall move on to another related subject of prophesy, which explains why even though they were given and they would fulfill such promises, they would nevertheless remain blind as they fulfilled them. This blindness would persist in spite of the teachings of the apostles.

Before we begin, it must be explained that there are two blindnesses prophesied in Scripture. The first and more commonly discussed is the blindness of the inhabitants of Jerusalem found in Isaiah chapter 6. There we read, in part, where Yahweh is instructing Isaiah by way of a seraphim: “9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, 12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.”

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 57

Throughout our last few presentations in these 100 Proofs we have been discussing rather related subjects from the Revelation, as they are also all related to the same passages in prophecy. These are the opening of the little book in Revelation chapter 10, and the two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11. Now we shall address aspects of Revelation chapter 12, and the destiny and plight of the woman in the wilderness. As we have already asserted, the fulfillment of these prophecies having been realized, while no other group but White Europeans have fulfilled them, and have done so with remarkable precision, it is without doubt that the Israelites were White, and that modern Europeans, at least for the most part, are indeed their genetic descendants.

Before we begin our interpretation of the woman taken to the wilderness in Revelation chapter 12, we should once again repeat some of the prophecies which explain that the children of Israel in their captivity would indeed be sent into the wilderness. These are found primarily in Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. As we have also said several times earlier in these presentations, the last 26 chapters of Isaiah were written addressing Israel in captivity, after the Assyrians had taken most of both Israel and Judah and forcibly resettled them in diverse places in the north. So, as an example of our assertions, we read in part in Isaiah chapter 43, where the children of Israel in captivity are being addressed: “15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. 18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.”

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 56

In our last presentation we had illustrated the fulfillment of the prophecy of the angel with the little book which is found in Revelation chapter 10. The book was open, and in the sequence of the great events of history of which the Revelation had prophesied from the fall of Rome, the open book certainly seems to represent the printing of Bibles which was facilitated by the Protestant Reformation. At no other time in history was it recorded that the Word of God was purposely withheld from the common man, but that was what the Medieval Roman Church had attempted, so that the Scriptures could only be interpreted by the priests themselves, and the common man would have forever been at the mercy of those priests.

While we cannot present a full commentary on the Revelation here, the sequence of historical events from the fall of Rome through the Reformation is very well described in Revelation chapters 8 through 11, as we shall continue to discuss here. However to see the truth of that assertion, one must start at the beginning while also having a fair understanding of history. As we have already asserted here, 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.

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.
