VIDEO: Systemic Usury: the Global Monetary System
I don't think it can be overstated just how important these concepts and realities are for we the serfs to understand. After watching this video, you'll better understand why usury was FORBIDDEN in the Torah (Exodus 22:25-27; Leviticus 25:35-37; Deuteronomy 23:19,20; Nehemiah 5:10,11; Psalm 15:5; Ezekiel 18:13,17)! Just one more proof that the TORAH was/is LIGHT to the NATIONS!
Watch this and pass it around!

Two-House Movement an offshoot of British-Israelism?
The Two-House Movement is NOT an offshoot of British-Israelism. In fact, British-Israelism AND the modern Two-House Movement are BOTH offshoots of the Two-House REALITY. The former was more of a mutilated, incomplete, and racist offshoot... while the latter incorporates more of the Jewish perspective without the racial undertones and without the British Empire's agenda and propaganda.
Is the Two-House Teaching an innovation of British-Israelism? No, it was a historical/scriptural reality that persists into end-time prophetic texts.
Has British-Israelism influenced the Two-House Teaching and the Two-House Movement? Yes, of course... especially in the West. However, there have been much needed and well-accepted corrections provided by many sources, most notably non-Messianic non-Christian Jews who have confirmed the ongoing separation between JEW-dah and 10-Israelites in current times.

Historic Worldwide Earthquakes on the rise

Of course, the global human population is growing exponentially, thus the impact on mankind is more easily felt by earthquakes. Not to mention, our ability to record earthquakes has significantly improved in recent decades. Yet, the frequency in "Great" earthquakes has dramatically increased in the last decade compared to previous, recent decades... and that reality should catch the watchful eye of End-Time prophecy students.
Luke 21:10-11
10 Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

Abraham, Chaldean or Semite sojourning in Chaldea?
From Genesis 11:10-32, we know that Abraham was a direct y-Chromosomal descendant of Shem, one of the three sons of Noah. He nor his father Terah were simply 'Chaldeans'. In fact, there were likely no truly pure-breed Chaldean... in a similar way that there is no truly pure-American (all Americans are immigrants, including so-called "Native" Americans).
From Genesis 10:32-11:1, we also know that most all of mankind moved to the region of Chaldea at some point after the Great Flood. Then their common language was divided during the Tower of Babel episode.
Terah was either from one of the Semite clans that stayed in Chaldea after the language divisions or he moved his family back to Chaldea for some other reason at some later time. We simply do not know from the Torah what reason or purpose Terah's family started there.
When Abraham received his call from the Creator to depart the household of his father, they were no longer living in Ur of the Chaldeans. They were living in a region named Haran quite a distance away in what is now southeast Turkey (Genesis 12:1-4).
Important Questions
Is the y-Chromosome of Abraham of little importance? If it is not of any importance, why so much attention given the direct paternal ancestry of Yeshua, connecting to Abraham and to Shem (Matthew 1:1-17; Luke 3:34-36)? Though the precise reason so much attention is given to Abraham may be unknown, there is obviously some significance even if the reason isn't immediately apparent to all now. However, should we diminish or belittle something that is given so much textual real estate within the Scriptures? Or should we ponder, question, and search this out?
Pondering the adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine of Abraham's goyim!

AUDIO: India’s ‘Lost’ Jews Seek A Place In Israel
Play Audio 4min 35sec
NPR Source: India's 'Lost' Jews Seek A Place In Israel (NPR) | Transcript | Audio Download
"There might be billions of lost tribes out there by now. Because 28,000 were dispersed by Sennacherib and Shalmaneser, kings of Assyria. Through natural increase, this could be half the world today," says Dr Shalva Weil, an anthropologist, explaining the large numbers of people worldwide who could claim lineage to the 10 lost tribes of ancient Israel.
"Initially I didn't believe the whole lost tribe bit," says Michael Freund, chairman of Shavei Israel. "But I was very taken by them on a personal level, on a human level, by their sincerity, by their desire to become part of the Jewish people. So I thought we should help them. So I became involved, through the bureaucracy then, in arranging for groups to start coming in an organized fashion."
Michael says he is now convinced that the Bnei Menashe are Jews who were sent into exile 2,700 years ago. 'I think we have a historical responsibility, a moral responsibility, to reach out to them and to facilitate their return." Read the FULL STORY.
My comments: Even anthropologists get their facts wrong occasionally. Sennacherib alone removed 200,000... and those were from Jew-dah (see the Taylor Prism). Shalmaneser V and/or Sargon II is the one who deported 27,920 from the capital of the Northern Kingdom (Samaria) about 20 years before Sennacherib laid siege to Jerusalem. There were definitely more... and there could have been hundreds of thousands more that were deported when the deportations first started (between 740-721 BC)... but we have archaelogical evidence that at least 227,920 were deported. So Dr. Weil needs to consider the "natural increase" off of a starting number much larger than just 28,000. By the way, I realize Dr. Weil may have been speaking tongue-in-cheek or off-the-cuff. My intent isn't to insult her intelligence. I'm simply reacting to the "can't see the forest for the trees" paradigm that pervades most every specialized field of science. - Hanok

Here comes the Sun
Yesterday, I received the following email from my friend Craig Peters of IAH. All the scoffing and ridicule directed at Climate Change people (because of the cool-down experienced in the last year or two), may soon be rebuffed... but I wonder how many of the Climatologists will continue to ignore the impact of the Sun. By the way, check out the documentary 2012: An Awakening. - Hanok
We have seen in other news stories that, with such a deep solar minimum, scientists are expecting the Sun to reemerge with an unprecedented solar maximum. There is more on the story:
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/16jul_ilws/
While the Sun is an agent of blessing (Matthew 5:45), as it was with Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:23-25), it will certainly become an agent of wrath in the Time of the End (Job 38:12-13/Psalm 11:6, 19:4-6, Revelation 16:8-9).
Whether or not the next solar maximum will be part of that wrath remains to be seen. No pun intended, but if nothing else, it is suspected that this may well be a serious warm-up.
So we must continue to watch and pray, that we will be found abiding in Him—both now and at that time (whenever
it is).

Thoughts on the influence of Luther and Darwin on Hitler’s worldview
“If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words 'I baptize thee in the name of Abraham'” - Martin Luther
"Since Martin Luther closed his eyes, no such son of our people has appeared again. It has been decided that we shall be the first to witness his reappearance ... I think the time is past when one may not say the names of Hitler and Luther in the same breath. They belong together; they are of the same old stamp" - Hitler's Education Minister, Bernhard Rust
"The connection between Hitler and Darwinism is of course historically a difficult connection because they were separated by a good many years. One was English. One was German. None the less, if you open Mein Kampf and read it, especially if you can read it in German, the correspondence between Darwinian ideas and Nazi ideas just leaps from the page. Of course you have to add every Historical caution. Not everyone who read Darwin became a Nazi. Obviously not... no one is making that case. Darwinisms is not a sufficient condition for a phenomenon like Nazism, but I think it is certainly a necessary one." - David Berlinski in EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed
Luther and Darwin are probably the most notable contributors to Hitler's worldview... in my opinion (but of course there were others). Indeed many synergistic variables were brewing in the German population for hundreds of years before Hitler... and they all contributed to the Christian-apathy and justification for what Hitler did right under their noses when times became difficult.
I think many of us are aware (or should be aware) that dozens of attempts were made (by Germans) to overthrow the Nazi regime. That is a fact that does NOT negate the reality that thousands of German "Christian" soldiers and civilians looked-on and helped with the round up of Jews for deportation and dehumanization.
Note: I'm not Jewish (in the Jew-dah sense) and I have many German ancestors. Also understand that I believe the non-Jewish population of Germany was/is of the stock of Ephraim (i.e., Israelites).
A man like Hitler does NOT come to power in a vacuum... especially not within a highly-advanced and highly-civil nation like Germany.
But of course... NOT all German "Lutherans" were anti-Jew... and in the same way... NOT all German Darwinian scientists wanted to unnaturally select-away the Jews from the German population. However, many of Hitler's scientists imbibed the idea that Jews were less evolved and dangerous to the German and European population... and this was a major justification for their violent removal. Note: Assuming Darwin did not have an impact on Germany and Hitler simply because Darwin spoke English ... is delusional. The unification of Darwinism with the later rhetoric of Luther... was a recipe of great opportunity for the Nazis.
The following link may be more helpful in the Luther-Hitler connections in particular (not all agree with the connections of course): The use of Martin Luther by the Nazis
I've spent many hours watching WWII and Holocaust documentaries... and I'm always pondering why and how... how could such an atrocity have happened to the Jews and to Germany? ...and usually... I wonder... how could the Father have allowed such heinous suffering to transpire as long as it did... including the atrocities in Russia, China, Cambodia, etc... where millions upon millions of young and old were murdered?
These are difficult questions... and I'm certainly not one to only ask questions that I think I can answer... nor do I assume that I have the capacity to understand the Ways and Reasons of the Creator of the Universe... however... it doesn't mean I'm afraid to ask out of fear that my Faith will be hurt.... for I do believe the Father has been merciful and suffers us (and suffers with us) more than most of us know.

VIDEO: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (Full Documentary)
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a 2008 independent documentary film, directed by Nathan Frankowski and hosted by Ben Stein. The film contends that the mainstream science establishment suppresses academics who believe they see evidence of intelligent design in nature and who criticize evidence supporting evolution and the modern evolutionary synthesis as a mainstream conspiracy to keep God out of science laboratories and classrooms. The scientific theory of evolution is portrayed by the film as contributing to fascism, the Nazi Holocaust, communism, atheism, abortion, and eugenics.

Zephaniah 2:3 - Seek YHVH, all you meek ones of the earth, who have done His right-ruling. Seek righteousness, seek meekness, if so be that you are hidden in the day of wrath of YHVH.
Isaiah 10:22 - For although your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return; A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness."

VIDEO: Hebrew Insights into the Lord’s Prayer | Nehemia Gordon
Karaite scholar Nehemia Gordon joins Christine Darg to explore some extraordinary insights into the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) that he and Keith Johnson have written about in their new book A Prayer to our Father. Gordon examines this well-known Christian-connected prayer and suggests that its Hebrew origins would make it perfectly acceptable for any Jew... from any denomination... to pray.
Nehemia also shares a miraculous event he recently witnessed during a tour in South Africa.

VIDEO: Widespread theme of 3rd Day Resurrection in the Tanakh | Tony Robinson
This is another two hour long interview of Tony Robinson (Restoration of Torah Ministries) by God's Learning Channel, recorded on 6-21-2010. Source: WayToZion.org
Audio Only Version (.mp3)
In this program, Tony discusses:
- The idea or concept of resurrection on day 3 is not a concept foreign to the Torah and Tanakh, but instead there are many thematic connections throughout.
- The number 3 is often associated with Life, Death, and Resurrection.
- Tovia Singer only wants to focus on the p'shat level of Scripture interpretation when discussing the resurrection of Yeshua on Day 3, dismissing the Remez, D'rash, and Sod levels even in spite of the Rabbinic use of these textual interpretations.
- Some of many passages referenced: Genesis 1:11-13, 1 Kings 17:21-22, Hosea 6:1-2, Jeremiah 38:1-28, Genesis 42:18, 1 Kings 3:16-18, Romans 4:18-20, Genesis 18:1-19:1, Numbers 19:1-13, 1 Samuel 30:1,12, Esther 4:11, Jonah 1:17
VIDEO: Covering the Israeli-Palestine Conflict in 2010
Ethan Bronner discusses his perspective, as the Jerusalem Bureau Chief of The New York Times, on the Israeli-Palestine Conflict; while insisting that he remains objective in spite of being Jewish and having a son in the Israeli Defense Forces.
Personally, I found Ethan to be very pragmatic, level-headed, and balanced in his perspective of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For anyone who has affinity for any particular side, it may indeed be useful to watch his presentation. He has some profound things to say... especially in regards to the disproportionate world-focus on Israel in comparison to massive conflicts like what is occurring in Sudan or Congo.
