God-consciousness Is A Failure

I became a follower of Meher Baba in 1968. I tried to become a Christian in 1987. After studying the Bible I expressed concern to my ex-friend, a graduate of Harvard, that the alliance between Jewish Zionists, and Christian Zionists would eventually create a LIVING HELL, where religious conflict will

“PERMEATE OUR CONCIOUSNESS.”

Being a Jew, Mark favored the alliance. He had friends in Israel and thought the Jews needed the attention – and more allies! I hate Hamas because of their attack on October 7th. Thanks allot! What were you thinking? You weren’t! You were obeying your God and your religion.! And now, the United States is considering a….HOLY .REGIME CHANGE!

In Arthurian legend, Merlin is often portrayed as a powerful wizard, but some versions of the story depict him as a figure with dark origins, potentially even the Antichrist. Specifically, certain medieval texts suggest Merlin was conceived as a result of a demonic plot to produce the Antichrist, intended to challenge Christianity. However, he is typically “saved” from this role through baptism shortly after birth, allowing him to use his powers for good, often guiding King Arthur. 

“He had more guts and balls than you because he said, I am not going to send in the uniformed military to do something that I know in my gut is not right,” Ms. Slotkin chided the defense secretary.

“I’d be careful what you read in books,” Mr. Hegseth warned, “except for the Bible.”

“Oh God,” an exasperated Ms. Slotkin replied.

Senators Ask Hegseth About Domestic Deployment of U.S. Troops

Senator Elissa Slotkin, Democrat of Michigan, asked Secretary Pete Hegseth if he had given troops deployed domestically orders “to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way?”

“Have you given the order, um, for — to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? I’m just asking the question. Don’t laugh. Like the whole country — And by the way, my colleagues across the aisle,” “What is that based on? What evidence would you have that — ” “It is based on Donald Trump giving that order to your predecessor, to a Republican secretary of defense, who I give a lot of credit to because he didn’t accept the order. He had more guts and balls than you, because he said, ‘I’m not going to send in the uniformed military to do something that I know in my gut isn’t right.’ He was asked to shoot at their legs. He wrote that in his book. That’s not hearsay. So your poo-pooing of this, it just shows you don’t understand who we are as a country, who we are. And all of my colleagues across the aisle, especially the ones that served, should want an apolitical military and not want citizens to be scared of their own military. I love the military. I served alongside my whole life, so I’m worried about you tainting it. Have you given the order? Have you given the order that they can use lethal force against — I want the answer to be no. Please tell me it’s no. Have you given the order?” “Senator, I’d be careful what you read in books and believing it. Except for the Bible.” “Oh my God. So your former predecessor, I guess that’s not enough for you.”

Reporting from Washington

June 18, 2025

The prospect of a war typically leads lawmakers to rally around the military. That’s not what happened on Wednesday.

While President Trump was demanding the Iranian leadership’s “unconditional surrender,” senators were accusing their rivals of politicizing the military and undermining support for the armed services.

The setting was an Armed Services Committee hearing, ostensibly on the defense budget. Democrats complained that Mr. Trump’s deployment of Marines and National Guard forces to Los Angeles, over the objection of state and local leaders, was putting the military at odds with the citizens it was supposed to protect.

“All of my colleagues across the aisle, especially the ones that served, should want an apolitical military and not want citizens to be scared of their own military,” Senator Elissa Slotkin, Democrat of Michigan, argued.

Republicans countered that former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s policies, which allowed transgender troops to serve openly and funded troops’ travel for abortions, had done the real damage. “We’ve never seen the military politicized in a way that it was over those four years,” said Senator Jim Banks, Republican of Indiana.

For the Pentagon, which appears to be on the cusp of a major conflict with Iran, the timing could not be worse. Mr. Trump refused to say explicitly on Wednesday whether he would order U.S. forces to attack Iran’s nuclear sites and join Israel in its war.

“I may do it,” he told reporters on the White House lawn. “I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

The possibility has highlighted deep rifts inside the Republican Party between traditional defense hawks and those who believed Mr. Trump would keep America out of wars in the Middle East.

The Senate hearing exposed another major divide between Democrats and Republicans over how and when the military should be used on U.S. soil — an increasingly common occurrence in Mr. Trump’s second term.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was asked early in the hearing whether he would ignore court orders regarding the domestic use of troops, if ordered to do so by Mr. Trump.

“I don’t believe district courts should be setting national security policy,” Mr. Hegseth said as Democrats questioned him about the legality of sending military personnel to Los Angeles amid protests over immigration raids. Pressed further, he said he would honor a ruling by the Supreme Court.

Mr. Hegseth sidestepped questions about whether he was preparing options for the president to strike Iran or to assist the Israelis in their operation to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

“At the Defense Department, our job is to stand ready and prepared with options,” Mr. Hegseth said. “And that’s precisely what we’re doing.”

So Democrats and the independent senator Angus King instead pressed Mr. Hegseth on his decision to restore the names of military bases originally named for Confederate generals.

“Why are you doing this?” asked Mr. King, of Maine. “I don’t understand what the motivation is to rename bases for people who took up arms against their country on behalf of slavery?”

Mr. Hegseth replied that veterans and active-duty troops felt a “legacy” and a “connection” to the bases and the old names.

The committee’s Democrats also repeatedly pressed Mr. Hegseth on whether he had plans to continue deploying U.S. troops domestically. “We should not be using our military to play cops against Americans,” said Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, an Army veteran who lost her legs in the Iraq war.

Ms. Slotkin raised the issue in even starker terms, asking the defense secretary whether he had given troops orders “to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way?”

Mr. Hegseth laughed.

Ms. Slotkin reminded him that the former Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper wrote in his memoir that Mr. Trump had asked during racial justice demonstrations in 2020 why the military could not “just shoot” protesters in Washington in the legs.

“He had more guts and balls than you because he said, I am not going to send in the uniformed military to do something that I know in my gut is not right,” Ms. Slotkin chided the defense secretary.

“I’d be careful what you read in books,” Mr. Hegseth warned, “except for the Bible.”

“Oh God,” an exasperated Ms. Slotkin replied.

Before the founding of Israel in 1947, the Jews had a thousand neighbors! Here are two books that you see behind me. I went to the Knight library on October 6th. to look for a book on the Sanhedrin. Should ten thousand students be in the Jewish section of their campus library looking for answers – instead of demonstrating? Can they do – both! I suggest a Read-in.

The turning point in Estonian attitudes towards Jews appears to have come with the Soviet occupation of the state in 1940. According to Weiss-Wendt, Estonia’s meek response to the Red Army’s advance led to a demoralized and humiliated population, one further unsettled by the deportation on June 14-15, 1941, of over 10,000 people to the interior of the Soviet Union. Included in this deportation were 415 Jews, which as Weiss-Wendt notes, constituted some 10 percent of the state’s Jewish population. Despite having suffered under Soviet rule in a similar fashion to ethnic Estonians, Jews nonetheless were linked to Soviet terror in “Estonian collective memory” (p. 51). The population believed that special Soviet shock battalions were most responsible for implementing Soviet terror and that Jews were disproportionately represented in these formations. He also states that “the perceived threat of a Russo-Jewish conspiracy stemmed from the popular belief that held Jews as quintessential Communists” (p. 50). Despite making such claims, he then paradoxically argues that “there were simply not enough Jewish Communists in Estonia to sustain the Judeo-Bolshevik myth” (p. 56).

Over a 15-year period beginning in the mid-1970s, more than 40,000 Ethiopian Jews migrated from Africa and resettled in Israel. The return of the “Black Jews” to Israel is one of the most unique phenomena of modern day Black history for two reasons: first, the Ethiopian Jews are the only group of Africans practicing Judaism and secondly, they are the only group of Africans to immigrate to a predominantly white society for religious reasons. The Black Jews of Ethiopia examines the past of the Ethiopian Jews, or Beta Israelites, in order to understand their present life in Israel. A must for any library supporting African or Judaic studies.

Luke 10:25-37New International Version

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Zionists Hate Reform Judaism

Prelude to The World Holy Word War

Posted on October 7, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press

Yesterday, on October 6, 2023, I went to the Knight Library to look for a book I found twenty years ago, that proves Jesus was a Priest overturning rulings by the Sanhedrin. He was not a prophet, or a Zealot, though I believe his judgements were the PRELUDE to the War of the Jews against Rome.

My argument with Mark Gall is that there exist so much religious strife and schisms in Israel, and within the religion of the Jews, that it is infecting my Democratic Nation, that was not founded by God-Jesus! The Torah is about the Enemies of God, which are the Jews themselves, and, all their neighbors! Consider the story of the Good Samaritan, and Jacob stealing Esau’s Birthright.

Seven hundred of my fellow citizens were arrested on campus’s – across America. I say….

LET MY PEOPLE GO!

…..for they know not what they do.

Harvard used to be Bible College. How many protestors attend a Bible College? It was an act of God that brought me to the University of Oregon Knight Library in search of a book on the rulings of Sanhedrin. I am here to settle THE BIG ARGUMENTS – thus

  1. Repeal U.S. funding for Israel because they are no longer a Nation – but a religion! American Taxpayers are not allowed to use taxes to promote religions.
  2. End all idea of dual-citizenship in my Democracy.
  3. Recognize me as the Messiah of all the Jews, because my mother Rosemary was a whore, and my father was the reincarnation of a Roman general, according to his Psychic Astrologer. You rabbis know the rules. I have been elected…..The Least – amongst you.
  4. Repeal President Truman’s recognition of Israel as a Nation.

So be it

No Jew or Gentile knew the America’s existed when the wars between the Jews and Rome were fought. The Jews lost. It was none of the business of the Indigenous Americans for fifteen hundred years. Those were Ideal Times. The monies given to the brutal warrior Zionist religion, should be spent on Native Americans – in both Americas!

The Accusation Insults Against Blessed Mary, Sanhedrin 106a, says Jesus’ mother was a whore: “She who was the descendant of princes and governors played the harlot with carpenters.” Also in footnote #2 to Shabbat 104b it is stated that in the “uncensored” text of the Talmud it is written that Jesus mother, “Miriam the hairdresser,” had sex with many men. “Jesus was a bastard born of adultery.” (Yebamoth 49b, p.324).  “Mary was a whore: Jesus (Balaam) was an evil man.” (Sanhedrin 106a &b, p.725).  “Jesus was a magician and a fool. Mary was an adulteress”. (Shabbath 104b, p.504).

(Reuters) – Pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested on a handful of U.S. university campuses on Saturday, as activists vowed to keep up the movement seeking a ceasefire in Israel’s war with Hamas among other demands.

The Indiana University police department in Bloomington said in an emailed statement that 23 protesters were arrested there.

There have been pleas from moderate Israelis to moderate Jews in America, who may consider themselves members of Reform Judaism, to help SAVE ISRAEL from the Orthodox Extremists who want the boundaries of King David’s kingdom, restored. The evangelicals want the Jews to restore David’s Kingdom – and Temple – so they can inherit God’s legacy. The OWNERSHIP OF KEY LAND is vital in fulfilling the religious prophecy of several religious groups when you throw in the Mormons who got into a dispute about whether they are a real religion.

Why Israel’s Religious Leaders Oppose Reform Judaism

RESPONSE

Andrew Apostolou

Updated Jul. 14, 2017 1:14AM EDT / Published Oct. 11, 2012 1:45PM EDT 

The fundamental problem between Israel and American Jews isn’t the settlements, isn’t the peace process, isn’t Bibi and Obama, or any political issue—it’s religion. Israel’s religious leaders, who have large constituencies at home and abroad, oppose Reform Judaism because it undermines Jewish identity and so weakens the Jewish people. Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar recently reminded everybody of this, prompting outrage from Reform Jews, such as Uri Regev writing on Open Zion.

Reform Judaism in the U.S. claims to be committed to Jewish survival, but promotes the exact opposite. Reform rabbis conduct marriages between Jews and non-Jews, sometimes with non-Jewish clergy present. Most other branches of Judaism reject intermarriage as invalid because Jews can only marry other Jews. Around half of Reform rabbis now officiate at intermarriages—in theoretical defiance of their own movement’s rules. The most prominent example was when James Ponet, a Reform rabbi at Yale University, and Rev. William S. Shillady, a Methodist minister, jointly performed the wedding of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky in 2010.

For their part, many Reform Jews believe that they have addressed the intermarriage problem. Back in 1983, Reform Judaism recognized the Jewish identity of children of “patrilineal descent.” This supposedly means children with Jewish fathers and non-Jewish mothers are treated as fully Jewish (by contrast, traditional Judaism believes that Jewish identity passes through the mother). The decision to accept “patrilineal” children has apparently integrated thousands of young people who would otherwise have been considered not Jewish. Sympathetic demographers, such as Prof. Leonard Saxe at Brandeis University, claim that recognizing “patrilineal descent” turned intermarriage from an act of Jews “rejecting their religion” to one that “is not necessarily a rejection of Jewish identity.”

Unfortunately, this effort at Jewish integration has failed, in large part because Reform rabbis ignored their own guidelines. The actual Reform decision was conditional. It gave a “presumption” of Jewish descent that was “to be established through appropriate and timely public and formal acts of identification with the Jewish faith and people.” These conditions were often not applied. The result is that “patrilineal” children don’t feel Jewish. As Clifford Librach, a Reform rabbi in Connecticut, has said, “Most kids of mixed marriages are not embracing Jewish identity.” Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg z’l, a visionary among Jewish leaders, foresaw this problem and offered that Conservative Jews would accept “patrilineal” children if they were ready for formal conversion to Judaism by age of religious adulthood (13 for boys, 12 for girls). Sadly, his proposal was spurned and the “patrilineal” experiment failed.

Recognition of “patrilineal” Jews, like acceptance of intermarriage, sounds nice, warm, and inclusive—except that this simply relabels the problem. Only one-third of the children of intermarriages are raised wholly or partially as Jews. Worse, the children of intermarried Jews have a 76% intermarriage rate. Intermarriage excludes tens of thousands of children from the Jewish people every year. As the leading sociologist of intermarriage Steven M. Cohen, a research professor at Reform Judaism’s main educational institution, has written, “Intermarriage does indeed constitute the greatest single threat to Jewish continuity today, both on an individual level and on a group level.”

This is bad for American Jews and bad for Israel. The Jewish state needs a vibrant and viable Diaspora—as a partner and source of immigration. That relationship is endangered when the largest Jewish denomination in the U.S. enables assimilation.

Yet instead of answering Rabbi Amar, Uri Regev criticizes him for alleged “hate speech.” Regev also seeks to undermine Rabbi Amar’s legitimacy, claiming, “There is no parallel to the institution of the Chief Rabbinate in any Diaspora community, and it has no precedent in history.” To cap it all, Regev argues that Rabbi Amar and the state of Israel are “on a collision course with world Jewry.”

While Regev denounces Rabbi Amar for “hate speech,” he commits the same offence himself by calling the Chief Rabbi “a threat to the State of Israel and the Jewish people.” Similarly, Regev ignores Jewish history when he portrays the Chief Rabbinate as an invention with unprecedented powers. Consider Greece: Before the Holocaust, the Greek Jewish community was the largest of the Judeo-Spanish communities that had controlled the Sephardic Chief Rabbinate from its inception in the seventeenth century up until the 1950’s. The rabbinate in Greece has more control, in some ways, than the Israeli rabbinate. According to Law 2456/1920, there can only be one Jewish community in a Greek town. This makes Orthodoxy the state-backed, exclusive norm in all aspects of Jewish life, including marriage and personal status. The only way out until recently was to intermarry, marry abroad, or convert to another religion—which is not easy, given that proselytism is illegal.

Worst of all, Regev conflates American Jews with “world Jewry.” Regev does this to threaten Israel with the loss of global Jewish support. In the process, he ignores the fact that American Jews are a minority, just 39% of the global Jewish population, in part because of intermarriage.

Reform Judaism has made important contributions to Jewish life. It helped force Orthodoxy to define itself, encouraged Jews to grapple with modernity, and—through rabbis such as Albert Friedlander z’l and Hugo Gryn z’l—expressed clear moral messages. Sadly, today, Reform Judaism in America is acting against Jewish continuity.

The Mistaken Equivalency of Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism

DECEMBER 21, 2016RABBI STANLEY RINGLER

Israeli flag with land in the background

Earlier this year, I had occasion to speak at a synagogue in Johannesburg, South Africa. The subject was my motivation and experience as an American Jew who made aliyah to Israel more than 30 years ago. The presentation included a description of my Jewish and Zionist education and concluded with an explanation that my primary motivation was a personal desire to be a participant in the making of modern Jewish history. What better place could I do so, I concluded, than by living with my family in the State of Israel. 

Immediately following my presentation, the hands went up. One after another of the participants in the audience challenged me with biting comments and striking allegations all of which I thought were both surprising and, of course, incongruous:

How could I possibly call myself a Zionist when to do so is to embrace an ideology advocating apartheid?

How can I identify with a regime which is oppressive and dismissive of the human rights of the Palestinians?

Are not Judaism and Zionism incompatible? Are not Zionists acting just like the white nationalists did in apartheid South Africa? 

The people asking the questions seemed sincere. It appeared to me that they were genuinely struggling with themselves both intellectually and spiritually. On one hand, they were trying to find an acceptable way to identify as Jews. On the other hand, they could not reconcile their identification with a Jewish State that in their minds, no less than in official political circles, was perceived as the very incarnation of evil. No doubt, there are growing numbers of Jews in other Daspora countries who share the same dilemma, which may not be the case with many non-Jewish critics of Israeli policy.  

It is true that many people throughout the world are bitter critics of Israeli policy. As such, many exaggerate and generalize about Jews and what they believe to be normative Zionist ideology. Their conviction is that Zionism is a racist ideology and the plight of the Palestinian people is proof positive of this fact. Thus, it is a short distance between identifying Jews as a group with the Jewish state and ergo their presumed support for the oppressive policies of the state. In their minds, this thinking legitimizes their struggle in support of the long-suffering Palestinians. 

As Jews, we may prefer to draw a distinction between our religious or ethnic identity and the specific political policy of any given government of Israel. Nonetheless, such efforts are judged to be ingenuous by our critics. This is hardly surprising since Israeli policy today is defined by right wing revisionists who have perpetuated the occupation of the Palestinian people for the most part of nearly 50 years. For the greater part of this half century, they have successfully advanced their ultra-nationalist and irredentist vision of Zionism. Sadly too, the contours of this policy have increasingly resulted in a growing number of separatist realities. 

Despite the aforementioned, I do not accept the idea that being critical of, or opposed to, Israeli policy, automatically makes one an anti-Semite. I would suggest that taking such a position is incorrect as it feeds the illusory idea that what is being alleged about Jews and Zionism has credence. After all, there are Jews who are Zionists and Israeli, like myself, who are strongly opposed to the principles and policies of the current Israeli government. We are in fact, passionate critics.

I explained these positions to my South African Jewish interlocutors. I spoke about how I became a Zionist in the tradition of the Labor Zionist Movement. Our ideological vision is rooted in the principles of social and economic justice, liberal democracy, and the pursuit of a just peace. I am opposed to the occupation and consider the settlement program to be destructive of our vital interests and threatening to our security. And, of course, I acknowledge the fact that settling Jews in occupied territories is in contradiction of international law as defined by the Geneva Conventions. For me and a not inconsequential percentage of Israelis and Jews worldwide, progressive Zionism is as legitimate and normative as Revisionism is for others.  

Perhaps if Israel’s critics were better educated about the differing streams of Zionism, they would be less inclined to generalize based on the policies of Israel’s current government.

Perhaps too, they would begin to understand the differences by learning about the accusations made by our right wing critics here in Israel. Among other allegations, they assert that we are self-hating anti-Zionists and anti-Semites! It is likely that they make these charges because we expose their activities and reject their views as submissive to the ideological fantasies of intolerant political and theological extremists.  

There is a profound distinction to be made among anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism, and criticism of the policies of a particular Israeli government.

I believe Meher Baba is the same God that appeared to Moses – in person! That God chose South Carolina to be His home in America. Baba anoints me A Messenger of the New God.

God lost wars with other nations, and God’s Children were taken into captivity. The Jews, and their Old God, lost two wars with Rome, and were banished from the Promised Land. Sephardic Jews declared America the New Zion, as did my ancestor, John Wilson

After the death of my homeless friend, I took over Herbert Armstrong’s church in Springfield. Armstrong preached British Israelism that is reborn this day with the evil interference of the Republican Party is the ferritization of of human eggs to make life. The God of the Jews has a horrific history of MAKING DEATH, bringing DEATH to the enemies of the Jews – and God? I am a theologian who has been looking at the death of King Saul and his son, Jonathan. Some Biblical scholars suggest Saul in truth was the Prophet Samuel ‘The Nazarite While In His Mother’s Womb’. This makes sense because King David – usurped the Nazarite Democracy of God – and created a crown…..King of the Jews!

The literary and religious oppression of any Non-Jew’s right to discuss THE ENEMIES OF THE JEWS, while the Haredi study these enemies – all day – is Nazism. The Haredi are refusing to serve their Nation of Zion, while Salvador served in the battlefield for Democracy. And he served in Congress. This refusal is an outrage, because no rabbi has condemned Putin;s slaughter of the innocents, yet, they beg for American Tax Dollars.

I spent a year secluded in a small trailir, reading how Kind David betrayed his alleged best friend, and went after the Ephod and Goliath’s sword, owned by Samuel/Saul, THE NAZARITE JUDGE! Absolom may be Johanthan. For sure, the Scribes of Zion have made a temple wth block of lies! That these Haredi Youth can not see what I saw, is proof the Old God no longer dwells in Zion.

“Know thy enemy as thyself!”

“I will bring you the sword!”

Marilyn saw my faces glowing with light because I was studying the Torah. No Haredi face glows with the Light of God, for they grasp with religious greed – every dumb rock in the Promised Land, that has moved on, as The Word of God….has moved on!

John Presco ‘The Nazarite Judge’

“Then David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not a spear or sword on hand here? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business was urgent.”

9The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want, you may take it. For there is no other but this one.”

And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.” (1 Sam. 21:8-10)

Haredi Orthodox Israelis dodge draft law

Amidst a public debate about the justification for the decades-long blanket exemption from IDF service for haredi men, the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee (FADC) debated on Monday a bill to lengthen the age of exemption for reservists by one year.

The bill’s intent is to preserve the current array of reservists at least until the end of 2024, as age barriers determine that if the exemption does not pass into law by February 29, thousands of men who have reached the age of 40 will be released from service.

There have been pleas from moderate Israelis to moderate Jews in America, who may consider themselves members of Reform Judaism, to help SAVE ISRAEL from the Orthodox Extremists who want the boundaries of King David’s kingdom, restored. The evangelicals want the Jews to restore David’s Kingdom – and Temple – so they can inherit God’s legacy. The OWNERSHIP OF KEY LAND is vital in fulfilling the religious prophecy of several religious groups when you throw in the Mormons who got into a dispute about whether they are a real religion.

According to Brackney (2012) and Fine (2015), the French Huguenot magistrate M. le Loyer’s The Ten Lost Tribes, published in 1590, provided one of the earliest expressions of the belief that the Anglo-SaxonCelticScandinavianGermanic, and associated peoples are the direct descendants of the Old Testament Israelites.[3][10]: 176  Anglo-Israelism has also been attributed to King James VI and I (1566–1625),[10] who is reported to have believed he was the King of Israel.[3] Adriaan van Schrieck (1560–1621), who influenced Henry Spelman (1562–1641) and John Sadler (1615–74), wrote in the early 17th century about his ideas on the origins of the Celtic and Saxon peoples. In 1649, Sadler published Rights of the Kingdom,[11] “which argues for an ‘Israelite genealogy for the British people’”.[10]: 176

Reform Judaism In South Carolina

I implore Governor Kotek to open an investigation into the political gamesmanship that Phil Knight engaged in in the State of Oregon that was founded by my kin. Were there any religious motives? Oregon voted for the removal of slave language, yet, Kyrie Irving is claiming he was pressured by Nike to oppress his beliefs – or lose his monetary contract. A Jewish group is demanding Amazon remove the book that Kyrie referred to that suggested the Jews – engage in Tribal Conspiracies’ – proving, THEY DO! Mess with the Jews – and they will go after you! DUH!

Here is Liberman demanding the Chief Rabbi – resign – for politicizing and weaponizing the Judaic religion. Democracy was JUST SAVED by Individual Opinions being expressed at the polls – and not at the temple and cathedrals. Christian Nationalism – LOST! The Christian Wizard of Oz – has been exposed by Democracy Loving People – PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN!

The biggest religious game in the world, is the fight over the building of the third temple. The biggest secret in the world is – black people are not INVITED to play the Temple Game! They are COVERTLY EXCLUDED in the most vile and evil way. They are permittd to play basketball in Nike shoes, but not hold relgious beliefs that would affect sales.

Oregon has eradicated the Slave and Exclusion Laws, but has neglected the Religious Rights and Freedom of Black Citizens – that was forced underground right after they were kidnaped from Africa. If Jews can not be OVERT about their own religion, after four thousand years, how can a black person, seeking their religious roots, hope to stand at the door of his/her New Religion – and invite all people to come into their Inclusive Church!

I beseech all black people who find themselves in conflict with Jews, put away all vestiges of Anti-Semitism, and forbid all violence. It occurs to me on this day (11-14-22) that black people are welcome to form their own Reformed Judaic Church, preferably in South Carolina. I will help you do this. I consider myself a member of the Shembe-Zulu Nazarite Church.

John Presco ‘The Nazarite’

Francis Salvador (1747 – 1 August 1776) was an English-born American plantation owner in the colony of South Carolina from the Sephardic Jewish community of London; in 1774 he was the first Jew to be elected to public office in the colonies when chosen for the Provincial Congress. He had joined the independence cause and in 1776 was the first Jew killed in the American Revolutionary War, fighting with the militia on the South Carolina frontier against Loyalists and their Cherokee allies

Rebuilding the Third Temple

Trump Cyrus Coin

While our attention is being drawn to wearing masks and social distancing and upcoming vaccines, there is a much closer sign of the Lord’s return about to happen – the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple in Israel. The groundwork for which is being laid right now. The moving of the American Embassy to Jerusalem and President Trump’s declaration that Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel has far reaching implications; not just that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews and not the Arabs but also to the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. The newly reconstituted Sanhedrin called Trump the 2nd Cyrus and minted a coin commemorating the event. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised his host, US President Donald Trump in unmistakably Biblical terms,

“I want to tell you that the Jewish peopl

Rebuilding the Third Temple

The Holy Land of Francis

I claim King David’s Tomb where Helena the Nazarite was buried. Property owned by the Order of Saint Francis will be a neutral sanctuary for all peoples. But, this holy land will be in the care of a New Coalition of American Jews who descend from Jewish Immigrants who found Sanctuary in this Democracy. To take this linage of Democratic Jews to Israel, and place a fake citizenship upon these Americans, is fraudulent!

There are way more Jews in America than in Israel. Many of them members of Reform Judaism that was established by Frances Salvador that fought in the War of Independence. He was elected to office. This is the only image of Frances being killed by Native Americans. We need a better one. I am so busy.

Many Sephardic Jews owned slaves. Benjamin Judah was one of them. He managed the Confederacy. Slave helped build this Democracy. For this reason the property of Saint Francis should be open to pilgrimage where descendants of slaves may come and be closer to God. This can be in concordance with the IfNotNow Movement.

God has bid me to anoint the Duke and Duchess of Essex, and their descendants, Regal Caretakers of all property in Israel owned by the Order of Saint Francis.

John ‘The Nazarite’

There have been pleas from moderate Israelis to moderate Jews in America, who may consider themselves members of Reform Judaism, to help SAVE ISRAEL from the Orthodox Extremists who want the boundaries of King David’s kingdom, restored. The evangelicals want the Jews to restore David’s Kingdom – and Temple – so they can inherit God’s legacy. The OWNERSHIP OF KEY LAND is vital in fulfilling the religious prophecy of several religious groups when you throw in the Mormons who got into a dispute about whether they are a real religion.

They have prominent allies. Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the left-leaning Israel-lobbying group J Street, tells me he finds IfNotNow “really exciting”; Rebecca Vilkomerson, executive director of Palestinian solidarity movement Jewish Voice for Peace, sees IfNotNow’s goals and her organization’s as “very complementary”; and the prominent Israel critic Peter Beinart says IfNotNow is able to “say things and take moral stances that other people are too inhibited to take.” Husam Zomlot, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s general delegation to the U.S. has said, “Hope is the young American Jews like the brave souls in IfNotNow.” But the group’s critics are numerous, as well. Conservatives loathe them (a recent op-ed in the Jerusalem Post accused them of being “anti-Jewish”), and even liberal Jewish publications like The Forward and Haaretz run opinion headlines like “IfNotNow Doesn’t Deserve the Support of Left-leaning American Jews” or “I Teach At Birthright. IfNotNow Is Wrong.

Prince William of the British royal family visited the Holy Sepulcher this morning. He did so at the end of his trip to the Holy Land, which ended on June 28, after he spent five days in Jordan, Israel and Palestine. The representatives of the three Christian churches that own the Holy Sepulcher welcomed him before the shrine. Along with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilus, and the Armenian Archbishop, Sevan Gharibian, Br. John Luke Gregory, a Franciscan of the Custody of the Holy Land from England, who now is the delegate of the Custos in Rhodes, was also present.

In front of photographers and a small group of curious onlookers, Prince William entered the Holy Sepulcher, for what was the first official visit of a British royal to the Church of the Resurrection. The Anglican bishop of Jerusalem, Suheil Salman Ibrahim Dawani, escorted the prince into the shrine.

During the visit, which lasted about an hour, the representatives of the Churches first led him in front of the Stone of Anointing, which the prince kissed at the invitation of his three escorts. Then the prince entered the shrine containing the tomb of Christ, where the Patriarch Theophilus had prepared three candles ready to be lit for the prince, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, and Queen Elizabeth. Br. John Luke suggested lighting two others for Prince Harry’s recent marriage to his wife, Megan Markle, and for his mother, Princess Diana. From there, everyone moved to the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, where the Armenian archbishop gave some background [on the shrine].

After passing through the Greek Katholikon, the Prince’s delegation climbed to the top of the stairs leading to Calvary. “I explained to him that we process here every day and that we believe that behind the rock of Calvary, Adam was buried ,” said Br. John Luke Gregory. “The cross of Jesus placed on that rock makes this union between the New and Old testament visible, because Jesus is the new Adam.”

The Greek Orthodox had then prepared a light refreshment in their office, which is adjacent to the chapel of Adam, where a photo op took place. There Prince William also met the Secretary of the Custody, Br. David Grenier, and the other friars of the Holy Sepulcher.
“I have lived in this place for six years and I know him very well ,” said Fr. John Luke, “and for this reason, I explained to the Prince that we too have a monastery inside the Church of the Tomb, where we live in fraternal community.”

Benjamin was born to Sephardic Jewish parents from London, who had moved to St. Croix in the Danish West Indies when it was occupied by Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. Seeking greater opportunities, his family immigrated to the United States, eventually settling in Charleston, South Carolina. Judah Benjamin attended Yale College but left without graduating. He moved to New Orleans, where he read law and passed the bar.

Benjamin rose rapidly both at the bar and in politics. He became a wealthy planter and slaveowner and was elected to and served in both houses of the Louisiana legislature prior to his election by the legislature to the US Senate in 1852. There, he was an eloquent supporter of slavery. After Louisiana seceded in 1861, Benjamin resigned as senator and returned to New Orleans.
