Christian Women should condemn Israel, while Muslim women should condemn Russia.
I condemn Israel for starving mothers and children. I condemn Russia for killing mothers and children.
Why should any woman trust any man to make peace in the world? Why should any woman trust any God or Prophet to feed hungry children?
WAKE UP WOMEN!
How many women who believe in God/Allah – BELIEVE IN THE VIRGIN BIRTH – and why? Do the Zionists believe in the Virgin Birth? Do the Muslims believe in the Virgin Birth? How about Huckabee? How about the new Pope? How about President Trump? How about Chinese women?
John ‘The Nazarite’
“Jews generally do not believe in the virgin birth of Jesus because it is not part of Jewish scripture or tradition, and it contradicts core Jewish beliefs about God and the Messiah. The concept of a virgin birth is associated with Christianity and is not found in the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh), which is the Jewish holy text. “
“Yes, Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. The Quran explicitly states that Mary was a virgin when she conceived Jesus, and that his birth was a miraculous event brought about by God’s command. However, Muslims do not believe Jesus is the son of God or divine, but rather a prophet of God. “
The Papacy is all but dead! This Virgin Mary who could not be married to a mortal man so she can birth to a God, that is NOT a Judaic God, is – DONE! Desexing men for a lie, has caused thousands of children, real angels, to be raped and cast into hell. The nativity of John the Baptist was transferred over to a Fake Jesus who millions claim chose Trump, a
- Famine Conditions: Two out of three core famine indicators (plummeting food consumption and acute malnutrition) have been reached in parts of the Gaza Strip, with the third (deaths from malnutrition and related illnesses) increasingly evident but difficult to quantify due to the collapse of health systems and ongoing conflict.
- Scale of the Crisis: Over 320,000 children under the age of 5 are at risk of acute malnutrition, with thousands suffering from severe acute malnutrition, the deadliest form of undernutrition. Reports indicate that nearly every single child in Gaza is at risk of famine. Some reports suggest the number of children suffering from severe malnutrition may be as high as 200,000.
- Deaths: Scores of people, including a significant number of children, have died from malnutrition-related causes in Gaza. At least 16 children under five have died from hunger-related causes since mid-July alone, according to UN-backed food security experts. The Palestinian health ministry reports 89 child deaths due to starvation since the war began. A total of 93 children have reportedly been killed by man-made malnutrition in Gaza since the war began, according to Al Jazeera.
- Causes: The crisis is driven by the ongoing conflict, severe restrictions on humanitarian aid and commercial goods, and the near-total collapse of essential services and infrastructure in the war-battered enclave.
- Impact on Children: Children are especially vulnerable to malnutrition, which weakens their immune systems and makes them more susceptible to disease. The long-term effects of malnutrition can include stunted growth, impaired cognitive development, and poor health throughout their lives.
- Humanitarian Response and Challenges: Aid agencies like UNICEF, Project HOPE, Save the Children, UNRWA, and WHO are working to provide assistance, but face significant challenges due to access restrictions and ongoing hostilities. The volume of aid reaching Gaza is far less than what is needed.
- Calls for Action: Humanitarian organizations and international bodies are calling for an immediate and sustained ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access, and a lasting political resolution to the conflict to protect children and prevent further loss of life.
Joseph and Mary Were Not Married
Posted on September 4, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
The Trumpire of King Jesus is forcing us to stop overlooking the churches glaring faults.
John
The atmosphere of our church service was pregnant with expectation: four candles of the Advent wreath and the colored lights from the tree and wreaths lit the darkened room. My wife and I were among the tens of millions gathered on Christmas Eve to rehearse the Nativity story again. As one of the readers read aloud Luke 2:5, I was struck by the New International Version (NIV) translation: “Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.” Chronologically, the narrative had advanced some eight months from Luke 1:26-27, where it stated that Gabriel was sent to a virgin named Mary “pledged to be married to a man named Joseph.” The Greek verb mnēsteuō was translated identically in both verses.
The translation suggested to me that an unmarried Jewish couple was traveling a long distance unaccompanied by other family members. And the woman—still only pledged in marriage—was in an advanced state of pregnancy. If such a situation is still scandalous in the Middle East, how much more in first-century Judea!1
Were Mary and Joseph married or engaged when they traveled to Bethlehem? Seen here is a mosaic of the Journey to Bethlehem from the Chora Church in Istanbul.
Later I checked other translations of Luke 2:5. The English Standard Version (ESV) uses “betrothed,” an archaic Middle English word. The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) uses “engaged,” while the New Living Translation (NLT) says “fiancée.” Again, these English versions suggest that the couple’s marriage was incomplete. This discovery led me into an in-depth word study as well as a look at ancient marriage. And what I found was surprising.
Matthew’s Gospel seems to be clearer. In the genealogy, Joseph is called the “husband of Mary,” who gave birth to Jesus (Matthew 1:16). Describing the background of their relationship, Matthew 1:18 reads, “His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph.” Here Matthew uses the same Greek verb as Luke. However, after Joseph decides to divorce Mary because of her unexpected pregnancy, an angel warns him in a dream not to do so. The angel advises him to “take Mary as his wife” (Matthew 1:20). When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel commanded him: He took Mary as his wife (Matthew 1:24). Luke’s version seemingly contradicts Matthew’s, according to present English translations.

The Greek verb mnēsteuō is used eight times in the Septuagint (the third-century B.C.E. Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible). Four uses in Deuteronomy (22:23, 25, 27, 28) deal with the legal issues surrounding an engaged woman having illicit sexual relations. If the incident happens in a city (22:23), both the man and the woman are to be stoned to death; if a rape happens in the country, only the man is to be stoned. The man is considered guilty because he has violated another man’s wife (22:24).
In the three uses in Hosea, God himself is speaking. Regarding Israel’s future day of redemption in 2:16, God declares: “You will call me ‘my husband.’” Then he states in verses 19–20: “And I will take you for my wife forever; I will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.” The NRSV translates “wife” here, while the NIV, ESV and New King James Version (NKJV) all read: “I will betroth you.” Because of the context wherein God declares that he is a husband forever, it is clear that his relationship with Israel extends beyond an engagement stage; they will metaphorically be husband and wife.
The Hebrew verb aras, translated mnēsteuō in Greek, refers to Jewish marriage practice in which the groom contractually pays a bride-price (mohar) to the bride’s father (Genesis 34:12). According to Old Testament scholar Douglas Stuart, “This was the final step in the courtship process, virtually equivalent in legal status to the wedding ceremony.”2 According to the Mishnah Ketubbot 5.2, the betrothal would last a year, with the bride remaining in the home of her father. Recalling the legal texts in Deuteronomy mentioned earlier plus the equation of David’s betrothal to Michal as marriage (2 Samuel 3:14), we see that under Jewish law, a betrothed woman was considered to be married.
Returning to Joseph, he would have paid the bride price to Mary’s father at their engagement (Matthew 1:20; Luke 1:27). Despite his misgivings, Joseph then obeyed the angel’s command to marry Mary (Matthew 1:20). The time of formal engagement, whether a full year or not, had passed between them. So Joseph and Mary had begun to live together except for sexual relations (Matthew 1:25). Luke’s understanding of mnēsteuō must be expanded to include both the betrothal/engagement as well as marital cohabitation. Therefore a better translation of Luke 2:5 would be: “Mary his wife who was expecting a child.” (The NKJV attempts a hybrid with “betrothed wife.”) English translations that suggest the couple was still only in the engagement stage of fiancé/fiancée must be discarded. Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem as a full husband and wife under ancient Jewish law.
Jesus Was A Nazarite At Birth
Posted on September 20, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
I declared myself a Nazarite in 1988.
John
The unborn Jesus receives the Holy Spirit while in Mary’s womb, from John the Baptist, who is inside his mother’s womb. Taking the vow of the Nazarite can fill you with the Holy Spirit of the Lord. John was a Nazarite while in his mother’s womb. He was a Nazarite FOR LIFE……till the very second her dies! The same with Jesus! This is why Jesus refuses the wine-vinegar, because it was not time for him to die!
An Israelite (Numbers 6:2)[13] can only become a nazirite by an intentional verbal declaration.[14] This declaration can be in any language, and can be something as simple as saying “me too” as a nazirite passes by.[15] A person can specify the duration as an interval of 30 days or more. If a person does not specify, or specifies a time less than 30 days, the vow is for 30 days.[16] A person who says “I am a nazirite forever” or “I am a nazirite for all my life” is a permanent nazirite and slightly different laws apply. Likewise if a person says “I am a nazirite like Samson,” the laws of a Samson-like nazirite apply. However, if a person says that he is a nazirite for a thousand years, he is a regular nazirite. A father, but not a mother, can declare his son, but not his daughter, a nazirite. However the child or any close family member has a right to refuse this status.[17]
“1Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
John did not prepare the way for Jesus, who is not, or never was “the Lord”. Did John minister to Gentiles, make them read as a people? Who are these “people”? Did Elijah minister unto non-Jews? Why didn’t Samson turn his back on the Lord’s Chosen people, and go make converts in Rome?
“A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was childless, unable to give birth. 3 The angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, “You are barren and childless, but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. 4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean. 5 You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”
Some scholars believe Hannah took the vow of the Nazarite, and the Lord opened her womb that was closed. Why didn’t her son Samuel go to Corinth and covert Greeks?
“As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk 14 and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.”
15 “Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. 16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.”
17 Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.”
When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Jesus Was A Nazarite
Posted on July 10, 2016by Royal Rosamond Press
Jesus was a Nazarite. Jesus died a Nazarite. Queen Helena of Adiabene took the Vow of the Nazarite – for life. She and her HEATHEN husband were converts to Judaism. Heathens are not allowed to take the Nazarite Vow. Paul took the vow, and may have caused a commotion when he brought HEATHENS to the temple to complete the Nazarite Vow they took, I suspect in Greece, or, Rome.
Being a Jew and being a part of the Judaic Religion, was very desirable, even amongst the powerful and rich. Paul invents HIS OWN RELIGION in order to OPEN THE DOOR WIDER. Are people paying Paul for admittance, he employing his Pharisistic training in Judaic Law to bypass Mosaic restrictions? There was a DEBT REBELLION! The debt archives were burned – by INDENTURED SLAVES. Rome sent an army to crush the ABOLITIONIST REVOLT. The war with Rome, was on!
“Simon held the upper city, and the great walls as far as Cedron, and as much of the old wall as bent from Siloam to the east, and which went down to the palace of Monobazus, who was king of the Adiabeni, beyond Euphrates; he also held the fountain, and the Acra, which was no other than the lower city; he also held all that reached to the palace of queen Helena, the mother of Monobazus; but John held the temple, and the parts thereto adjoining, for a great way, as also Ophla, and the valley called “Valley of Cedron;”
Judaism in Adiabene survived the death of Izates and Helena. History indicates that the Jewish religion continued to play a part in the kingdom of Adiabene; non-royal Adiabenians converted. “The names of the Adiabenite [sic] Jews Jacob Hadyaba and Zuga (Zuwa) of Hadyab,”33 indicate a non-Hebrew origin and possible conversion to Judaism.
Mindful of the events which in her view were of a positive nature, Helena journeyed with her retinue to Jerusalem and the Great Temple to worship and offer thank-offerings while the throne in Arbela had been safeguarded. Queen Helena offered items of blessing including a special addition to the Kodesh, or Inner Sanctuary of the Great Temple:
The doorway of the Kodesh was 10 cubits wide and 20 cubits high. Over the doorway was a carving of a golden menorah donated by Queen Helena, a convert to Judaism. The morning service could not begin before sunrise. The Temple was surrounded by high walls, and it was not possible to see the rising sun, so priest had to be sent outside to see if it was time for the service to begin. After Queen Helena donated the Menorah, it was no longer necessary to send a priest outside the Temple. As the sun rose in the east it shone against the menorah and the reflected light was cast into the Azarah. The priests then knew that the morning service could begin.18
Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Jesus is offered the WINE – twice! He refuses the first offering because he is not ready to die, not ready to give up the Holy Spirit he received from John, who was the embodiment of Elijah, thus THE MESSIAH OF THE JEWS. Jesus knew this, as did the people who gave him the wine IN ORDER TO END HIS NAZARITE VOW. The spirit of John-Elijah was expected to come AND TAKE JESUS UP.
Mary knows Elizabeth is going to give birth to THE MESSIAH, the EMBODIMENT OF ELIJAH, and wants her son in her womb to come in contact with the Messiah of the Jews, and, wants her UNBORN SON to be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT – TOO!
There were two very Holy Nazarites in the world. Jesus was destined to be THE KING OF JUDAH, and sit on David’s throne. I know this, because a Nazarite expecting the arrival of the Messiah “the son of David” drank only on certain days. When John was beheaded, Jesus was a candidate for the Messiah. His refusal to drink the first offering of WINE – not vinigar – was before sunset, and thus, before THE SABBATH.
The End of Jesus’ life is a Nazarite Argument that has nothing to do with the pagan converts to Christianity, accept in the case of Helen. Then there is the Judging of the Sotah. But here is what is extremely interesting. Slave could take the Nazarite Vow with the consent of their owners.
This is so key! The Laws of the Jubilee had been abolished a hundred years before Jesus was born. When he announced he had come to restore these laws, some Jews were elated, while others, were threatened. Some Jews owned slaves, while others did not. Consider our Civil War.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
“Women and slaves, who did not have full rights before the religious law, could take the Nazarite vow, but only with the consent of their husbands or owners, while the vow was not valid among the heathen (Naz. iv. 1-5, ix. 1, et passim). Fathers were allowed to dedicate minors, but mothers were forbidden to do so (ib. iv. 29b)”
Slaves all over the Diaspora could now be elevated in their station in life – including women! If tens of thousands of slaves wanted to become Nazarites, then you have a revolution on your hand – a slave revolt! Of course an owner would consent.
“Simon held the upper city, and the great walls as far as Cedron, and as much of the old wall as bent from Siloam to the east, and which went down to the palace of Monobazus, who was king of the Adiabeni, beyond Euphrates; he also held the fountain, and the Acra, which was no other than the lower city; he also held all that reached to the palace of queen Helena, the mother of Monobazus; but John held the temple, and the parts thereto adjoining, for a great way, as also Ophla, and the valley called “Valley of Cedron;”
Jesus ‘The Goel-El Redeemer’ restored the Jubilee Laws of God and purchased slaves so he could set them free. This led to the burning of the debt archives and the War with Roman Slave Masters. The Jews recognized Jesus as their Goel. It is a egregious lie – that he didn’t! Paul took the Vow of the Nazarite who was bid by James the Nazarite to redeem Jews in the Diaspora, and bring them to Jerusalem to complete their vow.

‘The Nazarite’
Copyright 2016
Some said: “I shall not die before I have become a Nazarite” (Ned. 3b), or, “Let me be a Nazarite on the day when the son of David [the Messiah] shall come.” Such a Nazarite was allowed to drink wine only on the Sabbath and on feast-days, since the Messiah will not appear on these days (‘Er. 43a).
Luke 1:39-45New International Version (NIV)
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 14And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. 16And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 18And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

Jesus’ drink of vinegar
There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.
Matthew 27:47-50
When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
Mark 15:23
Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
John 19:28-30
Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Did Jesus drink the wine or not?
Matthew 27:34 and Mark 15:23 are referring to a separate event from the other passages (this is evident from the fact that both Matthew and Mark describe Jesus refusing the blended wine at the start of his crucifixion, but later accepting wine vinegar from a sponge and stick). In that instance, Jesus tasted the wine but didn’t drink it (i.e. he took a sip but not a mouthful).
Concerning the latter offer of wine vinegar, Matthew and Mark don’t explicitly state that Jesus drank the vinegar, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t. We sometimes use “offered” to imply both an offer and its acceptance in everyday conversation. Someone might say, “Joe came by and I offered him a drink, and we talked for a while,” meaning that Joe accepted the drink. Also, some translations (NASB, RSV) use “gave” instead of “offered.”
Who said to leave Jesus alone and wait for Elijah: the crowd, or the man offering the vinegar?
Both the crowd and the man could have said it. One possible scenario is that the man gave Jesus vinegar to drink, then said to the crowd, “Okay, now let’s leave him alone and see if Elijah comes,” and the crowd agreed with him and said, “Yes, let’s do that.” Another possibility is that someone in the crowd suggested it first, and the man offering the vinegar agreed and addressed his agreement to the whole crowd.
Did Jesus ask for the vinegar, or did the man decide to offer it after hearing him call Elijah?
Again, Matthew and Mark don’t record Jesus’ question, but that doesn’t mean that Jesus couldn’t have asked for a drink. Combining the three accounts gives us this sequence of events:
- Jesus called out to God
- The crowd said, “He’s calling Elijah”
- Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
- Someone in the crowd ran and got the drink of vinegar, and offered it to Jesus
- Jesus drank the vinegar
- Jesus said, “It is finished,” and died
Was the first wine mixed with gall or myrrh?
