Israel and the Epics – Part 3

Today I would like to talk about ancient Israel and the epic poems, namely the Iliad, written by Homer. It is suggested that this book was written in around the 8th century B.C., and it was about the 12th century B.C. time. But I believe this book to be about the ancient Israelites and their successive empires after their captivity in about 700 B.C.. Namely there are two names in the book that seem to hint to this being true, first is Chryses, which was a priest in the book, but in the Bible, there is Cyrus of Persia (Isa. 45:1).

Last, as always, it is important to remember, that there may be truth to these historical identities and associations with other books written thousands of years ago, but our identity ought to be in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is ultimately in control of all flesh (Matt. 28:18). He is the author and finisher of our faith (Heb. 12:2). And most importantly, He died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.

Namely there are two names in the book that seem to hint to this being true, first is Chryses, which was a priest in the book, but in the Bible, there is Cyrus of Persia (Isa. 45:1).

The reason for the association of Cyrus of Persia is that his troops were fighting in the area of the Trojan wars. And the ancient tribe of Dan, as mentioned in an earlier article, was a pioneer of Israel, and they were a people in their own right. That is why they would be associated with the Danaans mentioned in Homer’s Iliad. I believe personally that the Spartans of Greece also were likely associated with the tribe of Dan and other Israelite tribes as well.

Israel and the Epics – Part 1

Today I would like to talk about ancient Israel and the epic poems, namely the Iliad, written by Homer. It is suggested that this book was written in around the 8th century B.C., and it was about the 12th century B.C. time. But I believe this book to be about the ancient Israelites and their successive empires after their captivity in about 700 B.C.. Namely there are two names in the book that seem to hint to this being true, first is Chryses, which was a priest in the book, but in the Bible, there is Cyrus of Persia (Isa. 45:1).

Next, there is a tribe of Achaians or Argives, also known as Danaans. I believe this to be none other than the tribe of Dan, one of the tribes of Israel, mentioned in the Bible (Deut. 33:22). And the Trojans may very well be a mixture of other Israelite tribes. I have a feeling that the same effort could be done to make an association with the tribes of Israel and Homer’s other works, including Homer’s Odyssey, as well as other ancient epics of similar antiquity.

Ancient British tribes and the captivities of Israel – Part 3

There are at least five major waves of immigration to the British Isles from about a millennium before Christ time unto the fourteenth century A.D.. They are known as the Brits, Picts, Celts, Anglo Saxons and the Normans. Some may argue differently, but for the sake of this article I will use these as examples. And it just so happens that the ancient Israelites went into captivity at least four times, twice for the northern ten tribes to Assyria and twice for the tribe of Judah into Babylon (2 Kings 15:29, 17:6, 24:12-16, 25:11). With Dan the “pioneer of Israel“, having started to adventure outside the land of Israel proper, likely during the time of Judges about five hundred years before the first captivity (Judges 18).

Last, although we can learn about the identity of our ancestors, either through our own family tree or more extensive research done, we must remember as followers of Christ that Jesus comes first in all of this, as His testimony is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10). And we must remember that ultimately Jesus came to save us from any curses that have come on us from our ancestors disobedience to God, that is we are made free from captivity in Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s name. The truth will make us free (John 8:32). Jesus gave His life for us, dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.

Another author whom has done extensive research into the tribes of Israel and their migration throughout history is Yair Davidiy. He wrote a book called “The Tribes” for the interested reader. One of the tribes I have identified with Spain and Portugal is Naphtali. They were prophesied to inhabit the west and the south (Deut. 33:23). That would also include the lands that Spain and Portugal colonized, especially South America and South Western United States.

This is all fine and well, but what is the point. Well I believe strongly that the waves of immigration to the British Isles directly relate to the waves of captivity and the earlier travels of the Danites, a tribe of Israel. The Kingdom in the late B.C. was known as Albion, and I believe this is where the Danites travelled to through Europe and the Mediterranean sea centuries earlier, preparing the way for the other Israelites whom went captive later. In a book by Geoffrey Monmouth, there is a list of Kings that starts with Brutus, this includes the name of King Arthur, and even mentions Merlin the wizard in the book, which I believe there to be some truth to.

Judah and Adult Entertainment – Part 3

A subject that I am a little hesitant to write about is the tribe of Judah’s involvement with the Adult Entertainment industry. There is scripture that would agree with this idea, and it is in Joel 3:6 and 7, speaking about the tribe of Judah being sold to the Greeks, but them arising from there circumstances in that place.

Last, we must remember that all of this information and any other, ought to be placed in the light of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (2 Cor. 4:6). He is our true Saviour and deliverer from all kinds of evil and sin. As Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name.

There is scripture that would agree with this idea, and it is in Joel 3:6 and 7, speaking about the tribe of Judah being sold to the Greeks, but them arising from there circumstances in that place.

Also, from personal experience in late 2019, I met a woman while in hospital, whom had seemed to confirm my thought’s about the tribe of Judah’s affiliation with the Adult Entertainment world. She had mentioned she had been in an adult film in the past and was recruited by a Jewish man. This is in no means meant to be an anti-Semitic article, and I know that it is not the vast majority of Jews that are involved in the industry, as I am sure there is probably people of the new testament Church whom have fallen into the same world. But it is a confirmation of the prophet Joel’s prophecy (Joel 3:6, 7).

There is scripture that would agree with this idea, and it is in Joel 3:6 and 7, speaking about the tribe of Judah being sold to the Greeks, but them arising from there circumstances in that place.

Greece has been known for the ancient custom of temple prostitution, with some of the priests of Israel before that (1 Sam. 2:22). And I had in recent year’s fallen back into looking into pornography again, but I think it had it’s purpose, because in one of the adult entertainment industry award red carpet photo ops, was what seemed to be an orthodox jew, God knows the truth of this. Also, at least one actor and actress were of Jewish ancestry according to their bio’s.

Job and the Great Pyramid – Part 3

Another research topic I looked into was the great pyramid of Egypt. It has been explained away to be thousands of years old, some attribute its construction to aliens. But there is a truth of the matter, so who built it? Well I will go right to the point and say that there has been some suggestion that Job of the Bible built it. And it was because of this massive construction project that he undertook along with his other worldly success, that he was humbled before God and men (Job 42). There are at least two references for such a claim that can be looked into, Dr. Herman Hoeh, and Charles Adiel Lewis Totten.

Last, we must remember that the truth of these matters are all fine and well, but we must look to our Creator and Jesus Christ of Nazareth for truth first and foremost. Jesus Christ of Nazareth was also a builder, His earthly father was a carpenter, and Jesus also took up the trade (Matt. 13:55, Mark 6:3). We must remember to look to Him for our ultimate answers, in life, death and in resurrection of life. As He is the one who is the chief cornerstone, He died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name (Eph. 2:19-22). Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.
