Yahshua (Jesus): Why the Silence (12 to 30 Years of Age-Nothing)

25 Jul

Have you ever wondered, as I have, what Yahshua (most today call him Jesus) did during that eighteen year hiatus when we hear nothing about him?  We hear of his birth, then twelve years later at age 12 we hear of him in the Temple at Jerusalem, astounding the Rabbis with his understanding and wisdom, and then nothing until he began his ministry, a ministry that lasted but three years.  And, even though it was three years, for the number of times we actually hear what he was up to, well, you could likely pack those oh so few events into a couple of weeks.  Having deducted that, just look at the power of what was packed into such a short time.  Here we are, some 2000 years later, and even those who don’t “believe” he is the Messiah, even those not categorized as religious (one denomination or another, it matters not); even those who label themselves as agnostic or even total disbelievers, well, they know about him and they can tell you some of the things he is purported to have said or done.

I’ve often felt that we’ve been fed what some religious organization wanted us to know, so that it would support their agenda.  Why and who decided what to leave in and what to take out of what makes up today’s Bible or even, for that matter, the Tanakh or Torah?  It was men, men belonging to a religious organization with its own agenda, own doctrine and own set of rules.

So, just like it was men who left out various things from today’s somewhat similar versions of the Bible (even they differ depending on the religious denomination), why not apply the same to the very life of what we call both the Old Testament and the New Testament?

The Old Testament was or is supposed to be a precursor to the coming of the Messiah.  The New Testament is supposed to be about the time of the Messiah. But, who decided what went in and what got left out that spoke directly about the Messiah (as we awaited his coming), what to expect, how to identify him; and, after his coming (according to the New Testament), who was it that decided what got put into those books about Yahshua’s activities, his words, his thoughts?  You have to admit that even if we restricted it and believed he did nothing noteworthy (other than the Temple thing at age 12), surely three whole years of active ministry would have filled every page of the New Testament; yet it does not.  It is filled, on occasion with his disciples ramblings and workings – but not the long awaited Messiah!  One would think that the greatest event, one that mankind had awaited for generations upon generations, well it would have been so written about; the Messiah would have been so quoted, that you could fill the walls of a library with man’s books on the Messiah and all subjects he spoke of; what he did.

But, it’s not there – and why not?  Is there a hidden agenda that will fit under the wrathful warning that says, “Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, that lead my people astray?”

Why did Joseph of Arimathea[1], the wealthy Jew, pay for Yahshua’s burial?  Who was he and who was he in relation to Yahshua?  Did he know Yahshua or his family?  Why do we, out of the blue, here that this rich Jew provided the burial for Yahshua – and we are left with that; nothing more?  Had Joseph become a close friend, a confident of Yahshua?  Joseph was a rich merchant.  Rich merchants travelled.  Did Yahshua travel with him?

In Jesus the Master Builder (Strachan, Gordon), we are told that there is a very real possibility that long before the Romans brought Christianity to Britain, Joseph of Arimathea was on the shores and that the earliest church, Glastonbury, is attributed to his building.  There is even a question raised as to whether or not Yahshua had travelled with Joseph.  There is no evidence that I’ve gleaned, thus far, to say he did or he did not, so I like to say it is a plausible idea.

Certainly Yahshua would have travelled about with this trade at least from his early 20’s.  We have eighteen missing years.  We have recent discoveries (for our time) of the Dead Sea Scrolls and latest the Nag Hammadi.  Within the latter there is much reference to material and words which could very well destroy the fragile foundation upon which the Romans built what we call today the Christian churches.  One very real example is that of Mary Magdalene.  It was the church who labelled her a prostitute.  She wasn’t.  She travelled with Yahshua and the disciples, and she was indeed much beloved by Yahshua and he revealed things to her that she later had to explain and teach to the male disciples!

Glastonbury Abby (if you Google it) is found on Magdalene Street!

Gulf of Mexico Pollution Alert (Earthchange Bulletins)

04 Jul

Following e-mail news alert from Earthchange.  Contained within the article are several links to videos on YouTube.  If I lived in the USA I would seriously be contemplating a move …. especially from these areas that have been identified as toxic – be it air or water – both of which every human being requires…or s/he will die.  If you can’t breath the air; you’re dead.  If the water is pollutted it kills everything that once lived in it, you can’t drink it…and we humans, well our cells, our make-up is about 60% water.

BULLETIN ITEM: Gulf of Mexico Pollution Alert For Air Mass Flow & Hurricane
Formation

Pollution Threat Advisory For The Gulf of Mexico (July 3/4, 2010)

The Danger Is Now Widespread – Impact Will Be Immense & Deadly Under A Regime Of
Widespread Propaganda-Press Blackout – CDC has issued warnings for all people in
the Gulf region to avoid breathing air polluted with toxic fumes….if you can
smell it, its toxic, and your best course of action is to leave.

CRITICAL ALERT:

Another gyre has formed up roughly in the Gulf capturing some of the polluted
air. The main exit currently is over northern Florida and out into the
Atlantic. No tropical storm formations are expected by NOAA during the next 48
hours and the Sun is holding stable at low activity with a four day Sunspot
Count of 11 on Flux 74.

All people in Florida should be highly alert to potential toxic pollution.
PRIME IMPERATIVE: If you can smell it, you are in toxic overload. YOU SHOULD
LEAVE THE AREA. Denial that it is a problem is literally crazy. Please send any
details of pollution reports to ecb @ michaelmandeville dot com

COMING SOON WITH THE HURRICANES OF LATE JULY AND AUGUST:

MASSIVE INUNDATION BY OIL OF AT LEAST SOME MAJOR COASTAL AREAS, ISLANDS, RIVERS,
AND PENINSULAS (FLORIDA), CUBA, JAMAICA, CAYMANS, DOMINICA – ARE ALL IMPERILED,
AS IS YUCATAN, TEXAS, MEXICO, AND THE NORTHERN GULF COAST.

Huge quantities of oil are matting the surface of the Gulf of Mexico and will
remain in waiting for trropical storms and hurricanes to shove it with tidal an
hurricane force winds onto land. Go See the Video Overfly Of Gulf: It is far
worse than you want to believe.

Recent reports on toxicity of the Gulf:

Even the “clear water” is toxic:

BP Slick Covers Dolphins and Whales.mov

This may be the first summary of the extent of the devastation. The sea is
turning into the color blood for thousands of square miles – the whole surface
of the Gulf is turning into oil.

BP, the Obama Regime, and all their minions are fiddling while the whole Gulf
bums. All the posing and poising on the shores with clean up crews

IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

a PR GAME, exactly as locals have repeatedly pointed out to anyone who will
listen.

Out on the surface of the Gulf is enough oil to overwhelm all the Gulf shores
for tens of miles inland and deeply up all the rivers….and far up the
Mississippi Valley, which the coming hurricanes of August will surely drive
right on up. The spooked out scientists were right, probably 100,000 barrels a
day are matting the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.

EVERYTHING BP AND THE OBAMA REGIME ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS MERELY A TOY GAME
BEING PLAYED BY INFANTILE “PRETENDERS”.

The boats, the booms, the scimmers, the suckers, the tankers, the burners…all
tinker toys.

The stark raving incompetence and personal dishonesty of this portion of the
human species is massively, staggeringly depressing.

Hang it up. It doesn’t matter if they stop the oil volcano in late August. Don’t
wait for August. This movie is your writing on the wall.
MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To solve the problem the politicians need to be sidelined, the U.S. Navy must be
charged with saving the Gulf and its shores, a fleet commander with WWII style
independent powers appointed, the greater portion of the USN fleets brought to
the Gulf, along with a great portion of the idled tanker ships of the world, and
the massive energy resources of this nuclearized fleet employed to pump and
separate as much oil as they possibly can.

Cuba, Jamaica, Dominica, Central America, all these neighboring companies should
request other Naval resources from other maritime countries. Unfortunately they
pale compared to the US Navy.

For God’s sake, put this word out everywhere. If you can translate it into
another language, translate it. Other nations MUST GET INTO THE ISSUE Any
hurricane with the right angle of approach could paint the entire island of Cuba
in oil and kill most everything growing on the island. The entire eco system of
Florida could be killed in three days. If you can get this message to Cuba or
Mexico or Russia or wherever, PLEASE DO IT NOW.

THE AMERICAN POLITICAL CLASS IS TOO CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT TO DEAL WITH THIS
CRISIS WITHOUT IMMENSE PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR FROM ALL QUARTERS TO REMOVE BP
AND FEDERAL AGENCY MANAGEMENT AND PLACE ENGINEERS EMPLOYED BY THE US NAVY IN
COMMAND OF THE SITUATION.

THE FIRST THING THAT THE ENGINEERS MUST DO IS COMMAND EMPLACEMENT OF A COMPLETE
FREE FLOW OF REAL TIME INFORMATION FOR WORLDWIDE INTELLIGENT COMPREHENSION OF
WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT MUST BE DONE.

Air Mass Flow – into and around the Gulf can be seen at:
<http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/watl/loop-wv.html>http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goe\
s/east/watl/loop-wv.html

(caution: surface air sometimes moves in directions at great variance to the
direction of movement of the clouds, always check this information with local
ground sources).

La Nina conditions on the Pacific Equator are now well established and this will
decisively influence weather patterns for the next few months at least. NOAA may
not yet be calling this La Nina, it has not updated its ENSO status call. But
this is merely a statistical call based on arbitrary numbers, in fact the La
Nina condition is now influential.

The Carib Basin is boringly average in temperature and much of the Gulf (except
in the oil plume zone) is also. The Atlantic equatorial is trending toward
average after a Winter/Spring with high temperature deviations from average.
Along with the cooling in the sea surface temperatures along the Equator,
tropical storm formation has shifted somewhat to the South.

This all augers well for an weaker Hurricane Season than predicted by NOAA. If
so, this will reduce the broadcast of BP’s turd.

Meanwhile, out in the Pacific, conditions have stabilized to push relatively dry
air onto the southern portion of N.A and clear across the continent. Most of the
U.S. is headed into a long dry heat spell with traditional tornadoes and
thunderstorms, lighter and drier than normal, flowing into the Midwest. No
monsoon is in sight for the PSW.

Sunspot Count remained at 11 on a rising Flux of 74 on June 28, 2010. Most
likely, very little stimulus on the tropical storm conveyer is in the offing
during the next couple of weeks.

Venus is already passing Mars by and no other alignment is in store for the next
two weeks. Thus little to no sunspot activity will become another brief norm. On
July 15 Mercury begins an alignment with Saturn quickly followed by alignments
with Mars, Venus, and Earth during the next 30 days. About July 8-12 we are
likely to see Solar Activity pick up and begin a series of Sunspot spikes which
will grow dramatically in size in August and persist well above zero well into
September to about the Fall Equinox (Sept. 21). As is typical, the sunspot
spikes will occur about 4-8 days before the alignments and major stormfronts
will begin to be affected within 24 hours of a sudden rise in the Sunspot Count.

This, then, is the Greatest Window (July 8/12-September 21) for great concern
about Hurricanes and the chaotic movement of BP’s Bitter Pollution. Print this
out and tack it on the wall.

Pessimism continues to mount from technical and scientific sources about the
ability of BP to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf anytime soon. Reality is
that the petroleum industry likely is at the outer edge of its ability to
understand and deal with this event. All estimates of solution are conjectures
at this time.

Pessimism and hard-edged bitterness continue to grow over the role of both BP
and the agencies of the federal government, who are now widely seen as
complicity in a corporate-fascist take-over of the Gulf region. Knowledgeable
people in the area who are active in the response to the disaster claim that
activities are obviously conducted and organized in a fashion which serves to
obfuscate and hide what is happening to the environment and the people.
Cynicism is spreading broadly through the population, as can be readily seen on
major newscasts.

Kimbra Ameson from Venice, LA., an insider working in a first responder role,
has seen many of the operations from the command view and heard them talking
about it all. What she has to say should be heard by everyone:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkYJDI8pK9Y>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkYJD\
I8pK9Y

“They are slowly poisoning everyone I know…”
“We are expendable to them…”
“They never cease to amaze me for their lack of humanity…”

It would seem that, more or less, the culture of denial and dishonesty which
surrounded the Katrina responses and the handling of the Bankster frauds of the
last two years is alive and fully operational among the legions of talking heads
and minions of the corporations, politicians, and media.

Raining Oil In Louisianna?

We have not yet found real confirmation of this report but it is in line with
what was predicted here and by many other people. This report is upsetting
because it reveals how saturated the atmosphere has become around the Gulf.
except the strengthening of the tropical storm in the Carib and the cyclones in
the Pacific. Wind and air mass conditions in the Gulf vary widely.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, working with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, has issued health warnings…

While they suggest there is no threat, the CDC simultaneously advised “everyone,
including pregnant women” to avoid spill-affected areas. …

Shira Kramer, an epidemiologist who has conducted research for the petroleum
industry on the health consequences of exposure to petroleum, said she is
concerned that the risks are being downplayed.

“It’s completely scientifically dishonest to pooh-pooh the potential here when
you are talking about some of the most toxic chemicals that we know,” said
Kramer, who is founder and president of consulting firm Epidemiology
International in Hunt Valley, Maryland. She isn’t involved with the Institute
panels.

“When you talk about community exposure, you are talking about exposures in
unpredictable ways and to subpopulations that may be more highly susceptible
than others, such as those of reproductive age, people who are
immuno-compromised, children or fetuses. …

“[W]e have a soup of chemicals from the crude, chemicals from the dispersants
and pollutants that were already in the water. Who can say how they will
interact?”

Local conditions on the Gulf shores now vary widely and thus local sources must
be consulted for prevailing flow of air relative to the BP Oil Volcano. It is
uncertain what the toxic load may be in the atmosphere and migrating air. It is
also increasingly uncertain about which coastal zone will be the hardest hit by
the polluted air. This is likely to be true all summer and Fall.

The sea surface temperature in the northeastern quarter of the Gulf of Mexico is
now averaging 1 to 3 degrees (C) warmer than average while the remainder of the
Gulf surface temperature is about 0.5 degree (C) warmer. This differential is
probably directly related to the oil in the water, which absorbs more heat from
the Sun. The reflected heat from this surface may be heating the air, causing
it to expand and suck in the cooler Atlantic marine air. This condition may
persist through the Summer.

The BP Oil Volcano is still prodigiously pumping a huge volume of petroleum into
the Gulf of Mexico, no abatement appears in sight from BP’s efforts for another
two months if then. The current debate is largely over how much oil is oozing
out of the Earth and if it can be sealed anytime this year. The estimates have
now officially been revised upwards by huge amounts, now as much as 100,000
barrels a day during the past few days, coming ever closer to the original
third-party estimates of 100,000 barrels a day.

Regardless, it is certain that both air and water pollution will build up to
much higher levels and this is likely to eventually cause massive poisoning of
anything in its way. Unsuspected, or at least not discussed, is the growing
prospect that massive air pollution will impact various zones. There appear to
be complaints near the Gulf Coast about vegetable gardens which are severely
damaged. If plants are dying, so are your lungs.

Local weather reports must be consulted for local conditions, which can vary
widely state by state.

Many media articles refer blithely to “evaporation” of the toxic chemicals, as
if that were the end of the problem. It is true that small amounts of air
pollution generally are not noticed, but this is not a small source. Evaporation
in this case means that a very large quantity of the pollution is floating
invisibly in the atmosphere and can snare the unsuspecting. Many of those close
to the large plumes of oil in the Gulf have complained of a variety of effects
on their well-being. Waves of sudden poisoning may occur in the path of air
movements. These could occur fairly far inland and in the higher elevations. Be
extremely alert to this possibility. If sudden “attacks” or “waves” of poisoning
are reported or even rumored through the grapevine, you should begin to glue
yourself to wind direction advisories for your local area. You should also begin
to think about having gas masks handy, with enough gas in your vehicles to take
a very long drive out of the area.

Apparently the only effective gas masks to ward off all the toxic gasses are
full face respirators which feed a supply of bottled oxygen. They may seem
expensive at first but they cost less than the typical home entertainment
systems which people are buying these days.

As the Summer unfolds during 2010, the growing Solar activity of Solar Sunspot
Cycle 24 may magnify the distribution and spread of BP’s pollution. It may also
increase the severity of the Hurricane Season. [This effect can be subtle but it
also can create profound effects, such as the expansion of the size and
magnitude of Katrina as it spread across the Gulf to New Orleans. Katrina and
New Orleans were the victims of a massive surge in the Sunspot Count which
pushed Katrina into Category 5 wind force.]

 

If My People

02 May

There is a scripture that mainstream religion appears to have been using to fill its church coffers.  It is the scripture whose words begin with the title of this blog.  It is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14, and reads:

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

In my understanding of that scripture I need to take into account another scripture that is found in the book of Malachi. The verse that I am thinking of says:

3:6 “Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the LORD Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty.

Together with another the whole of the last chapter of Malachi which reads:

1 “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the LORD Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. 3 Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things,” says the LORD Almighty.

4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.

5 “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

The religious organizations that we call the churches have taken Chronicles and Malachi 3:6 and misapplied it, taken them out of context, as Satan did with Yahshua those 40 days in the desert, such that they read or have been interpreted by the church to say, give me your money just as you are told to especially in Malachi 3:6 and watch, YHWH will restore double or triple the amount to you.  You’ll have no more money worries, material worries; you’ll be rich beyond measure!

The business of tithes, the 1/10th of a persons income that is supposed to be given to the church, or so we are told, is a whole other study.  One needs to go back to the original language that these books we call the bible were written in.  It is easy enough to understand by just looking at one language, English, which has words that can mean two or three different things, depending upon the country that you live in.  Also to be taken into consideration is the very fact that it was a human being who interpreted from the original language.  I know that when I write something or provide you with my interpretation of what I think it says, I do so based on who I am and where I am at that moment in my understanding; that my thoughts are based upon my core essence, my thoughts and interpretations.

Is any man infallible, not subject to error, to missing the mark – even in the area of understanding?  Even though the RC pope says he is infallible, that is just a fallacy and a description of himself that he has chosen to apply to himself.  I choose to believe what YHWH says about all of us, and that is that not one of us is perfect, not one of us has not sinned or missed the mark.

If my people who are called by my name…. I call myself a Christian or a Messianic or an Hebrew or a Jew – and in doing so I do so to tell you out there that I believe what Yahshua or YHWH has said, and I am following His teachings, His path and therefore I have somehow earned the right to call myself by His Name.  In doing and saying so about myself, I am telling the external world that whatever you see me doing, whatever you hear me saying or read that I have written, because I am called by His Name, I am speaking or acting as He would do!  What a sham and what a scary responsibility it is to say that I am called by any one of those names.  What an awesome and trembling responsibility I choose to take upon myself by calling myself by His Name.  It means I would need to put more thought into everything that there is about me:  every thought, word and deed!

I don’t know about you, but I do not put a lot of thought into everything I think, say or do and in retrospectively looking back, even this past 24 hours of this human existence, I can see things I’ve done, heard thoughts I’ve thought or words I’ve spoken, that would indeed disgrace that Name by which I call myself.

Having said that about myself upon self-examination, I turn my eyes outward to the religions and to the nations.  North America, where I live and notably Canada (but including the United States as well) is a nation that calls itself Christian.  We have called ourselves by His Name and we thus think we have the right of blessing, because scripture says so:  if we call ourselves by His Name….He will open the storehouse of heaven and bless us.

Well I am here to tell you that we speak with a forked tongue.  Our speech is like the brass sounding of an empty gong.  It is just empty words.  I can say this because I only need to look around me at this nation that says it is Christian.  There is that charity and that love that Yahshua walked while sojourning upon Mother Earth?  Where is that charity that stops to help the man lying dying in the streets, that feeds the hungry and helps the widow?  Where is that foundation upon which we were built; our first schools teaching children from the Bible?  We have thrown out the Bible, created a void that has allowed evil to enter in and rule.  I am speaking nothing more than what we see day in and day out in the press.  We have pre-teens showing up in our schools with knifes and guns, killing one another over some perceived wrong or insult.

Brought up in the RC church there were things that I learned in that religion that are good things, like the fear of the Lord.  It however, was taught out of context, just as the other mainstream religions have taken the blessings of YHWH out of context.  They are all self-serving motives.  By way of example, and I have to laugh, the RC church gets money from us after our loved ones have died; like we can bribe the Lord with prayers after a person has passed on…and buy their way into heaven!   Give me a break.  It continues to this day, I only need look at how my own father made arrangements for special prayers and masses to be bought and paid for after the passing of my mother!

Then the other religions, well many have taken the death of Yahshua as having done away with the need to keep the law as foretold to Moses.  Yahshua’s death did away with the death penalty, not the need to keep the Holy Commands of His Father.  He came to show us the way back, the narrow road back to the Father.  Yahshua kept all of the Father’s commands, His Holy Feast Days; didn’t abolish any of them.  If Yahshua is the role model for those of us calling ourselves Christians, calling ourselves by His Name – then why do we not do as he did?  Why, instead, do we follow the dictates of another human being, an early RC pope (around 300 AD) who changed the Lord’s Sabbath to sun-day?  You might say it’s just a little thing; I’ve in fact often heard, it really doesn’t matter, I am keeping a day just for him, but it’s more convenient and makes more sense to do it on sun-day, ‘cause well my wife or my husband, well they work on Saturday (the true Sabbath).  Does it matter?  Absolutely for we go against what the Father set out as part of our guide to living a fruitful and restful life.  Give the devil an inch and he’ll take a mile!

You and I need to take a closer look at that Name by which we call ourselves, under the barometer or microscope of the life of Yahshua and the ancient prophets and kings; do a comparison with their lives to see when they were blessed or cursed – and really see which would be our heritage given our current way of living.
