            There exist but one and only one AhLaHaYam ("Elohem" or "God"). In most cases the word "God" in the bible is translated from the pure Ancient Hebrew word AhLaHaYam, meaning Almighty Power. Elohem is the corrupted so-called Modern Hebrew form of AhLaHaYam. AhLaHaYam is derived from the Ancient Hebrew word AhLah = Power and Yam = Plurality. It is a general title that is used to refer to the Almighty and sometimes to Christ and the angels. It is very significant to note that the Hebrew word AhLaHaYam that is translated as "God" is a plural noun. Most modern texts translate the specific name for the Heavenly Father as Yahweh or Jehovah: the Holy bible, reveals the actual name of the Father, as pronounced in the pure Ancient Hebrew language, to be YAHAWAH.

 

KJV Exodus 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 And God said unto Moses, (Yah-HahWaH) I AM THAT I AM; and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

 

KJV Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

 

KJV Exodus 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

 

KJV Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

 

KJV Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

 

The Lord YAHAWAH, the Almighty Creator, commonly referred to in this society as "God", is one entity but exists in multiple forms, manifestations, or states. Some aspects of so-called God are manifested in the cosmos and in the universe. Others aspects of YAHAWAH are not manifested and are therefore imperceptible by man or spirit. The attributes of the Father are revealed in the bible as being: eternal and unchangeable in His being, infinite in His power, wisdom, Holiness, truth and goodness. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three phases of the same being. The Heavenly Father is manifest in His Eternal Son and in the Holy Spirit.

 

KJV 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

 

            The Almighty Father is the absolute and is perceived in his phase of manifestation as the Holy Spirit in the Universe, and is also perceived through the proclamations of His Everlasting Son, the Angels and His prophets. The Holy Spirit is the aspect of the Father, which energizes the universe, and all life. The Everlasting Son of YAHAWAH and the Holy Spirit can be perceived and described, but the Almighty Father is the Absolute. The Father exists in an unmanifested state, therefore his absolute nature can not be comprehended or defined as "a thing" or an objective being that can be qualified. If the Father was a being that we can perceive, than He would not be the absolute and would not be unmanifested. The existence of the Heavenly Father is confirmed through the pure logic, observation and reasoning of the fact that the universe, the spirit world, and all life emanates from His unmanifested, absolute and infinite state. The Father reveals himself through his Son, the Holy Spirit, and the angels and through his prophets and the Creation.

 

KJV 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

 

KJV Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

 

KJV Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

 

 

KJV Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.

 

KJV Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

 

            The Heavenly Father is an infinite, all-knowing and all-powerful personable being; self conscious, self-determining. The Heavenly Fathers' characteristics designates and define the foundation of all truth, reasoning, logic, science, plus all the physical and spiritual laws of the universe. His moral attributes of love, justice and Holiness are infinite.

 

KJV Hebrews 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

 

KJV Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

 

KJV Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

 

KJV Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. 9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

 

KJV Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

 

Mankind can realize their destiny and purpose by seeking fellowship with the Heavenly Father.

 

KJV Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquirer in his temple.

 

KJV Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.


THE MESSIAH

 

Yahawashy, Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Redeemer, and the Deliverer was first promised to mankind by the Heavenly Father at the Garden of Eden, when the sins of Eve led Adam and mankind into suffering and mortality. It was there that the prophecy concerning the First and Second coming of Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer was first revealed.

 

KJV Genesis 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

 

According to the Holy Scriptures, the Savior (seed of the virgin Genesis 3:15, Revelation 12:9, Genesis 3:15) has a two-fold mission and was prophesied to come in the flesh upon the earth twice. The first time (the Serpent shalt bruise His heel), he would come to die as an Atonement for the sins of mankind, and the Israelites would fall as a nation. At His Second Coming, he would return as a Savior and Deliverer: King of kings and Lord of Lords, the conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah (The Messiah shall bruise the Serpents' head), to establish the kingdom of Heaven on earth.

The Bible was not the first form of the recorded prophecies of the Heavenly Father's words. The Father first conveyed the record of his promise of salvation to mankind, six thousand years ago, in the form of what is today called the Zodiac (Genesis 1:14). In contrast, astrology is false. Astrology is the pollution of the Zodiac. This book includes a detail chapter on the Zodiac. The true zodiac originally started with Virgo and ends with Leo, to represent the First and Second Coming of the Savior. The Sphinx in Egypt, having the head of a woman and the body of a lion, marks the true beginning and end of the Zodiac: Virgo and Leo.

 The first sign Virgo represents the First Coming of the Savior born of a virgin, to suffer and die as atonement for our sins. The last sign Leo represents His Second Coming as the conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah, to totally defeat Satan, bring judgement and Salvation. All the Savior myths and "god-king myths that are found around the world: Egyptian, Aztec, Asian, Babylonian, they all originated from the gospel of the Zodiac that the Lord YAHAWAH gave to Adam, depicting the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. The Bible contains countless scriptures that prophesy the First and Second Coming of the Messiah, for example:

 

KJV Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man (Christ) came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days (the Heavenly Father), and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

 

 KJV Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

 

KJV Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

 

KJV Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

 

KJV Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. 14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. 15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. 16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

 

KJV Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

 

KJV Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

 

Moses prophecy concerning Jesus Christ Saying:

 

KJV Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

 

The first born were killed when both were born. Just like Moses, Christ is our Deliverer and Savior, a Mediator between man and God.

 

John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word, which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's which sent me;

 

Both did Miracles. But Christ was greater than Moses and exhibited superior qualities: Christ never sinned, Christ had no restrictions. Moses sinned by striking the rock and was not able to enter the Promised Land.

 

2 Esdras 13:32 And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and the sign shall happen which I showed thee before, and then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.

 

2 Esdras 7:28, 29 For my Son Jesus shall be revealed with those that be with him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four hundred years. 29 After these years shall my Son Christ die and all men that have life.

 

2 Esdras 2:42-48 I Ezra saw upon the Mount Zion a great people, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs. 43 And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of theirs heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marveled at greatly. 44 So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these? 45 He answered and said unto me. These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and received palms.

46 Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands? 47 So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. 48Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord. Then the angel said unto me, Go thy way, and tells my people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord thy God, thou hast seen.

 

The prophecies of the book of Daniel identify the reasons for and the exact period in history when the  true Messiah would come, and how He would fulfill God's great work of  atonement, redemption, and the establishment of the new covenant:

 

KJV Daniel 9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 36:21).

 

KJV Daniel 9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. 22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. 23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. 24 Seventy weeks [70x7=490 years] (Leviticus 25:8) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city:

 

The term weeks as used in this verse is referring to weeks of years, each week being equal to seven years:

 

Leviticus 25:8 And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

 

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks [70x7=490 years: Leviticus 25:8] are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city:

to finish the transgression,

and to make an end of sins,

and to make reconciliation for iniquity,

and to bring in everlasting righteousness,

and to seal up the vision and prophecy,

and to anoint the most Holy.

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

 

The commandment to rebuild Jerusalem was issued In 458 BC by Artaxerxes Longiminus, king of Persia; documented in Ezra 7:11-27. Please read it. Daniel 9:24 states that the Messiah should appear 483 years after the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem became fully effective. The calculations indicate that the Messiah would be revealed to the world in 26AD, the exact time when Jesus Christ and John the Baptist began their ministry. A score represents twenty, three scores is therefore sixty, plus two, plus seven is sixty-nine weeks. Since a week represents seven years according to the Israelite Sabbatic year calendar, sixty-nine weeks means seven years times sixty-nine, which equals four hundred and eighty-three years. When you subtract that from the date when the commandment went forth to rebuild Jerusalem (458 BC), it brings you to the time of the Messiah.

 seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks

[(7+(3x20)+2=69x7=483 years] [483 - 458 BC =25 AD+1 for year zero=26 AD]

This is the date accord to prophecy when the Messiah is scheduled to arrive and accomplish the six tasks described in Daniel 9:24. Jesus Christ (Mashayak Yahawashy) did accomplish all of these prophecies as listed. No one else except Christ can make this claim or fit the description in terms of the timing and fulfillment of all the prophecies.

Many antichrists have denied the existence of Christ and have falsely claimed that this scripture was not referring to Jesus Christ. Some false prophets and preachers have also tried to misrepresent and miscalculated the seventy weeks time period, to make it fall before or after Christ. We know that it could not be referring to the seventy-year captivity in Babylon because according to verse twenty-five, the interval of the seventy weeks is to begin after we return from the Babylonian captivity. And the Israelites would be desolate again after the Seventy weeks. Both Jesus Christ and Daniel gave the exact definition and interpretation of this prophecy: saying that it would end with the Romans desolation and the destruction of Jerusalem (Daniel 12:11, Matthew 24:15).

Very Often the antichrists like to play a "Hebrew word game" to try to confuse people. The word messiah is derived from a Hebrew word Mashayak that means anointed or chosen. Anoint means to consecrate or appoint to some special office. It also describes the ritualistic process of rubbing with oil. The word anointed could have different meanings depending on its context. Kings were anointed, priests were anointed, and prophets were anointed.

 

KJV 1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

 

KJV 1 Kings 19:15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: 16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

 

Taking the word anointed out of context, some antichrists have said that the Anointed Messiah of Daniel 9:25 is not referring to Jesus, but is referring to King Cyrus of the Medes, because he was called anointed. This interpretation is not true because at that time and within that context the word anointed had never been used to represent the Anointed Messiah. This would be grossly taking the word out of context. And Daniel's prophecy could not be referring to Cyrus because Cyrus began to reign as king in 555BC, and was not living five hundred years later in 26AD. Daniel was writing about future prophecy, not past history. And also king Cyrus was not of the twelve tribes of Israel. How can Cyrus be the Messiah to Israelites when he is not of the seed of Israel. And Cyrus did not fulfill the prophecies of Daniel 9:24.

Do not allow anyone to intimidate you by using the fact that they went to some so-called special college, or by claiming that they know Hebrew. Knowing Hebrew does not give anyone a monopoly on the wisdom, knowledge and the spiritual understanding of the bible. The world is in darkness because it is being deceived, exploited and misled by it's so-called doctors, scientists, lawyers, politicians and religious leaders.

 

KJV Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

 

KJV Exodus 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

 

KJV Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

 

KJV 1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.

 

The antichrists and false prophets sometimes claim that the Anointed Messiah was a priest named Onias, who was killed in172AD. This interpretation is also false. It could not have been Onias because he did not fulfill any of the six prophecies that the Messiah was required to fulfill (Daniel 9:24), secondly, Onias lived in the wrong time period. Secondly, the Greeks were ruling at that time and they only profaned the Temple, but they never destroyed Jerusalem and caused desolation (I Maccabees 1:31, 38). It was the Romans in 70AD that caused the destruction and desolation of Jerusalem. Here is another scripture that the antichrists misuse in order to deny Christ:

 

 KJV Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

 

To misinterpret Daniel 12:14, the antichrists remove the word seal out of context and claim that the entire Bible has been "sealed" by Daniel and there can not be any more books, prophets or prophecies after Daniel. We must first ask, What does it mean to seal a book? And which book did the angel tell Daniel to seal? The fact is, the angel told Daniel to seal a book: the book of Daniel, not the entire bible. The book the angel was talking about was the book of Daniel. To seal a book just means to sign the book, marking its end. Every book, letter and document in bible times was sealed with the writer's seal at the end of his writing to authenticate it. The book of Daniel is not the last book written in the Old Testament. The fact is the Old Testament also contains several books and prophets that came after Daniel. Every author, to authenticate and mark the end of his document, book and letter, always sealed them with his private seal.

When all the arguments of the antichrists fail, they try desperately to convince others that Jesus Christ did not exist and never came. This is a very big lie because many nations recorded Christ's deeds, countless eyewitnesses and historians bore witness to his works. All the books of the New Testament bear eyewitness accounts to Jesus Christ. For example, Flavious Josephus was an Israelite general in the war against the Romans in 70 AD. After the war Josephus wrote down in several volumes, giving details concerning the Israelite history. Josephus lived at the time of Christ and gave his own eyewitness testimony concerning Jesus Christ. The following examples are just the tip of the iceberg compared to the mountains of archeological and historical evidence proving the existence of Jesus Christ:

 

 {Flavious Josephus page 373, Antiquities of The Jews, XViii, iii}

 

"Now, there was about this time, Jesus, a wise man, if it were lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works, -a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was The Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divined prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day."

 

(Page 638, Josephus' Discourse To The Greeks Concerning Hades, I:VI}

 

6. For all men, the just as well as the unjust, shall be brought before God the Word; for to him hath the Father committed all judgment; and he, in order to fulfil the will of His Father, shall come as judge, whom we call Christ...

 

Julius Africanus (c. A.D. 221) quoted Thallus (A.D. 52), a Samaritan-born historian:

 

"Thallus, in the third book of his histories, explains away this darkness [at the time of the crucifixion] as an eclipse of the sun-unreasonably, as it seems to me."

 

Mara Bar Serapion (after A.D. 73)  Wrote a letter to his son, it is now being kept in the British Museum. In it he compares the deaths of Socrates, Pythagoras, and Jesus, saying:

 

"What advantage did the Jews gain from executing their wise King? It was just after that that their kingdom was abolished.... But Socrates did not die for good; he lived on in the teaching of Plato. Pythagoras did not die for good; he lived on in the statue of Hera. Nor did the wise King die for good; he lived on in the teaching which he had given"

 

E. Lucian (second century; On the Death of Peregrine), a Greek writer, who did not like Christians wrote:

 

"The man who was crucified in Palestine because he introduced this new cult into the world. . . . Furthermore, their first lawgiver persuaded them that they were all brothers one of another after they have transgressed once for all by denying the Greek gods and by worshipping that crucified sophist himself and living under his laws".

 

Cornelius Tacitus (c. AD 55 ) a Roman Historian, wrote concerning Nero's attempt to relieve himself of guilt for burning Rome:

 

"Hence to suppress the rumor, he falsely charged with the guilt, and punished with the most exquisite tortures, the persons commonly called Christians, who were hated for their  normities. Christus, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius: but the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time broke out again, not only through Judea, where the mischief originated, but through the city of Rome also" (Annals XV.44).

 

Pliny the Younger (c. AD 112), governor of Bithynia; writing to the emperor about how he had massacred Christian men, women, and children.

 

"All who denied that they were or had been Christians I consider should be discharged, be cause they called upon the gods at my dictation and did reverence, with incense and wine, your [emperor's] image ... they curse Christ, which a genuine Christian cannot be induced to do" "...[Christians} were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verse of a hymn to Christ as to a god, and bound themselves to a solemn oath, not to do any wicked deeds, and never to deny a truth when they should be called upon to deliver it up." (Epistles, X.96).

 


THE ROMAN RECORD OF THE  DEATH SENTENCE OF JESUS CHRIST:

The following is a copy of the most memorable judicial sentence which has ever been pronounced in the annals of the world -- namely, that of death against the Savior, the knowledge of which must be interesting in highest degree to every Christian. The sentence is word for word as follows:

 

 -- SENTENCE PRONOUNCED BY PONTIUS PILATE, INTENDENT OF THE PROVINCE OF LOWER GALILEE, THAT JESUS OF NAZARETH SHALL SUFFER DEATH BY THE CROSS. IN THE SEVENTEENTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF THE EMPEROR TIBERIUS AND ON THE 25TH OF THE MONTH OF MARCH, IN THE MOST HOLY CITY OF JERUSALEM, DURING THE PONTIFICATE OF ANNAS AND CAIAPHAS, PONTIUS PILATE, INTENDANT OF THE PROVINCE OF LOWER GALILEE, SITTING IN JUDGMENT IN THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT OF THE PRAETORS, SENTENCES JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH TO DEATH ON A CROSS BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS, AS THE NUMEROUS AND NOTORIOUS TESTIMONIALS OF THE PEOPLE PROVE: 1. JESUS IS A MISLEADER. 2. HE EXCITED THE PEOPLE TO SEDITION. 3. HE IS AN ENEMY TO THE LAWS. 4. HE CALLS HIMSELF THE SON OF GOD. 5. HE CALLS HIMSELF FALSELY THE KING OF ISRAEL. 6. HE WENT INTO THE TEMPLE FOLLOWED BY A MULTITUDE CARRYING PALMS IN THEIR HANDS. ORDERS: -THE FIRST CENTURION, QUINTUS CORNELIUS, TO BRING HIM TO THE PLACE OF EXECUTION, FORBIDS ALL PERSONS, RICH OR POOR, TO PREVENT THE EXECUTION OF JESUS. THE WITNESSES WHO HAVE SIGNED THE EXECUTION AGAINST JESUS ARE: (1). DANIEL ROBANI, PHARISEE; (2) JOHN ZOROBABEL; (3) RAPHAEL ROBANI; (4) CAPET. JESUS TO BE TAKEN OUT OF JERUSALEM THROUGH THE GATE OF TOURNEA

 

The Volume Library Archives Comments: "The sentence is engraved on a plate of brass in the Hebrew language, and on its sides are the following words: -"A similar plate has been sent to each tribe." It was discovered in the year 1280 in the city of Aquill (Aquilla.) in the kingdom of Naples, by a search made for the discovery of Roman antiquities, and remained there until it was found by the Commissaries of Art in the French army of Italy. Up to the time of the campaign in Southern Italy it was preserved in the sacristy of the Carthusians near Naples where it was kept in a box of ebony. Since then the relic has been kept in the Chapel of Caserta."

            The bible teaches us how to recognize the antichrists and affirms the fact that Christ is the Messiah and our Savior.

 

KJV 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

 

            The real Jesus Christ was born on the earth and walked in the flesh approximately 2,000 years ago. Biblical and historical evidence confirms that He is a Hebrew Israelite of the tribe of Judah. The bible describes true Jesus Christ and the Israelites as people of the Afro-Asiatic type, having a colored complexion with wooly hair.

 

KJV Lamentations 5:10 Our skin was black like an oven.

 

KJV Lamentations 4:8 Their visage is blacker than a coal.

 

KJV Song of Solomon 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

 

KJV Revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

 

The Scriptures in both the Old and New Testament Testify of Christ

 

KJV Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

 

KJV Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (This can not be David because the Father never said those words to David, and David was never called The Son of God and David was never pierced.)

 

KJV Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

 

KJV Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
