Prophecies and Events through the Ages (Part 1)

Age of Chaos

Genesis 2:15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Year 687
Genesis 5:21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.
22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters.
23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.
24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

Enoch 53:7. In those days shall punishment go forth from the Lord of spirits ; and the receptacles of water which are above the heavens shall be opened, and the fountains likewise, which are under the heavens and under the earth.
8. All the waters, which are in the heavens and above them, shall be mixed together.
9. The water which is above heaven shall be the agent
10. And the water which is under the earth shall be the recipient: and all shall be destroyed who dwell upon earth, and who dwell under the extremities of heaven.
11. By these means shall they understand the iniquity which they have committed on earth : and by these means shall they perish.

Year 930 - Jasher 3:14 And it was in the fifty-sixth year of the life of Lamech when Adam died; nine hundred and thirty years old was he at his death

Year 1651
Genesis 6:Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
Year 1656
Genesis 7:1 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
2 You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;
3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.
4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.”
5 And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
...
17 Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
18 The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.
20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.
23 So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.
24 And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8:3 And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

Jubilees 10:4 But do You bless me and my sons, that we may increase and Multiply and replenish the earth.
5 And You know how Your Watchers, the fathers of these spirits, acted in my day: and as for these spirits which are living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of your servant, my Sovereign Ruler; for these are malignant, and created in order to destroy.
6 And let them not rule over the spirits of the living; for You alone can exercise dominion over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the righteous from henceforth and forevermore.'
7 And YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler bade us to bind all.
8 And the chief of the spirits, Mastema, came and said: 'YAHWEH, Creator, let some of them remain before me, and let them listen to my voice, and do all that I shall say unto them; for if some of them are not left to me, I shall not be able to execute the power of my will on the sons of men; for these are for corruption and leading astray before my judgment, for great is the wickedness of the sons of men.'
9 And He said: Let the tenth part of them remain before him, and let nine parts descend into the place of condemnation.'
10 And one of us He commanded that we should teach Noah all their medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness, nor strive in righteousness.
11 And we did according to all His words: all the malignant evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth.

Genesis 9:24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.
25 Then he said: “Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren.”
26 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem, And may Canaan be his servant.
27 May God enlarge Japheth, And may he dwell in the tents of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant.”

Year 1996 - Jasher 10
1 And Peleg the son of Eber died in those days, in the forty-eighth year of the life of Abram son of Terah, and all the days of Peleg were two hundred and thirty-nine years.
2 And when YAHWEH had scattered the sons of men on account of their sin at the tower, behold they spread forth into many divisions, and all the sons of men were dispersed into the four corners of the earth.

Jasher 12:43 And from that day forward Abram inclined the hearts of the sons of men to serve YAHWEH.
Year 1998
44 And at that time Nahor and Abram took unto themselves wives, the daughters of their brother Haran; the wife of Nahor was Milca and the name of Abram's wife was Sarai.

"borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God"

Age of Torah

(Abram in Ur Casdim)
Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.
Year 2018
Genesis 15:18 On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates—
Year 2033
Genesis 16:8 And He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.”
9 The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.”
10 Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.”
11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her: “Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction.
Year 2039
Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.
2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying:
4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.
8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
...
15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.”
Year 2048
Genesis 21:1 And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—Isaac
Year 2085
Genesis 23:1 Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
2 So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
Year 2088
Genesis 25:1 Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
(the many nations of the 8 sons of Abraham)
Year 2123
7 This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,
10 the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.
...
21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.”
24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.
26 Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob.

Year 2255
Jasher 56:1 And Yacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Yacob, and the years of his life were a hundred and forty seven years. (Genesis 50)

Year 2363
Exodus 1:8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
9 And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we;
10 come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.”
11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.
13 So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor.
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage—in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.
...
22 So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”
Exodus 2:1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi.
2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it.
6 And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
...
10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
Year 2386
11 Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Year 2448
Exodus 12:37 Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.
38 A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of livestock.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.
40 Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
42 It is a night of solemn observance to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord, a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
Exodus 14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. ...
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.
Exodus 17:4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not.
5 And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
6 Then Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening you shall know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt.
7 And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord; for He hears your complaints against the Lord. But what are we, that you complain against us?”
8 Also Moses said, “This shall be seen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to the full; for the Lord hears your complaints which you make against Him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us but against the Lord.”
Jasher 81:47 And they journeyed from Elim and came to the wilderness of Sin, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from Egypt.
48 At that time YAHWEH gave the manna to the children of Yisrael to eat, and YAHWEH caused food to rain from heaven for the children of Yisrael day by day.
49 And the children of Yisrael ate the manna for forty years, all the days that they were in the wilderness, until they came to the land of Canaan to possess it.
50 And they proceeded from the wilderness of Sin and encamped in Alush.
51 And they proceeded from Alush and encamped in Rephidim.
52 And when the children of Yisrael were in Rephidim, Amalek the son of Eliphaz, the son of Esau, the brother of Zepho, came to fight with Yisrael.
Jasher 87:7 And Mosheh taught the children of Yisrael statutes and judgments and laws to do in the land as YAHWEH had commanded him.
8 And he taught them the way of YAHWEH and his laws; behold they are written upon the book of the law of YAHWEH which he gave to the children of Yisrael by the hand of Mosheh.
9 And Mosheh finished commanding the children of Yisrael, and YAHWEH said to him, saying, Go up to the Mount Abarim and die there, and be gathered unto your people as Aaron your brother was gathered.
Year 2488
10 And Mosheh went up as YAHWEH had commanded him, and he died there in the land of Moab by the order of YAHWEH, in the fortieth year from the Yisraelites going forth from the land of Egypt.
11 And the children of Yisrael wept for Mosheh in the plains of Moab for thirty days, and the days of weeping and mourning for Mosheh were completed.

God's Land Promise to Abraham's Descendants

The Eight (8) Sons of Abraham

Abraham's descendants: Ishmael; Isaac; Zimran; Jokshan; Medan; Midian; Ishbak; Shuah.

Genesis 15:18-21

the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

Genesis 16

Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan. So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.
Then Sarai said to Abram, “My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. The Lord judge between you and me.”
So Abram said to Sarai, “Indeed your maid is in your hand; do to her as you please.” And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her presence.
Now the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. And He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
She said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.”
The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.” Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.” And the Angel of the Lord said to her: “Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction. He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man’s hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”

Genesis 17

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
...
Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.”
Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”
Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.”
...
And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

Genesis 21

For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—Isaac.

Genesis 23

Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

Genesis 25

Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
...
This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife. And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.

Just a little note about Islam (which originated from descendants of Abraham),
why did they embark on a conquest of the World, after Mohammed?
Islam (a religion), recognizes the Old Testament and Abraham.
Why this conquest beyond the lands promised to the descendants of Abraham?
And that conquest was ordained by Mohammed.

Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
This above was written in the 1st century. And later 620-670 AD, an angel appeared to Mohammed in a cave, and literally forced him to write. He was so scared, that he considered committing suicide.

Should Christians Support the Nation of Israel ? What Scriptures say.

Christian woman comes up to Sam Shamoun and tells him the question of is it biblical to be Pro Israel and that it’s supported in the Bible but after seeing what the bible says about who are the chosen people of God in the new testament are those who believe in Jesus as the children of Abraham and that the Jerusalem we know of today on earth is not the Jerusalem that God delights in because Heavenly Jerusalem is the one thai believers are in.

Scriptures:
Matthew 21:33 “Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.
34 Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit.
35 And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.
36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.
37 Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’
39 So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?”
41 They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.
44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
Romans 2:26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
Galatians 4:21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,
24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar—
25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children—
26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband.”
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
...
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

A Declaration of Faith

My God is the Creator of All things.
He created the Son of Man; the Angels of Heaven; and Adam and Eve.
He is the God of Enoch; Noah; Abraham; Isaac; and Ishmael.
He is the God of of Jacob, but not of Esau.
He sent his Son incarnated in human form, Jesus Christ, The Son of Man, as the Angels and Enoch call him, to experience, preach, suffer, and Die for our Sins.(As Isaiah prophesied)
Ever since, blood sacrifices are, not only unnecessary, but despised by God.

Jesus Christ (Son of Man) is not the only incarnation in human form we know of.
The fallen angels did it, and still do it.
Angels are sent by God as holy messengers, from time to time.
Satan is known to have done it, and still does it.

As for reincarnation, there is one example we know of: John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah.

The power, glory, justice, and mercy of our Almighty God is beyond imagination.

And Testimonies

Dec. 9th 2024 (posted on facebook)
Testimony (those who know me have seen me struggle for over 10 years)
Do you believe in miracles?
I do. I've had 6 arthroscopic surgeries on my knees (3 each).
My right anterior cruciate was snapped, the left like a loose rubber band. After the last surgery in 2011, the surgeon told me to wait a little and then get knee replacements. Never did, yet my knees are fully functional, don't crack, don't ache when it's cold.
Thank you for restoring me Lord Jesus!

Yes, I've just put away the cane. I waited to see how cold weather would affect me. It doesn't.
Further more, I was diagnosed with fat liver, bad liver enzymes, High Cholesterol, mild diabetes, high blood pressure. Only took the High blood pressure medicine, none of the others (trash can). Last blood test, the doctor was surprised: liver enzymes fine; Cholesterol fine; diabetes fine; blood pressure fine. I might stop the blood pressure medicine.
My last knee re-injury was in 2011. Until last winter, the cane was a must. So what happened in 2024? I started to praise God daily. I obeyed all 10 commandments (including observing Shabbat). I repented of all my sins (except 1, smoking), and did them no more. I started (since March) to fast one day a week. I observe the law including Leviticus 11 and if I'm attentive enough Lev 23 (using the Zadok calendar). What I now need to do is stop desecrating my body with smoking, and repent of it. Then maybe, the Holy Spirit will abide in me and speak to me?

May 2021 (Covid)
The pandemic started in 2020. Florida's laws concerning it were more relaxed than in most other states.
I would often go out without wearing a mask, and even in places that allowed people without masks.

So eventually, I got sick. In May, I spent 5 days and 4 nights, more sick than I had ever been. I was 64 at the time, not the age group with the better immune system.
It started with caughing and seezing on the 1st day. Then at night I was feaverish, and caughing so much that my ribs hurt.
I couldn't sleep. As soon as laid down, I couldn't breathe. So I sat on my coach all night. Every time I fell asleep, I'd wake up gasping for air.
I lived alone. No way I was going to a hospital (I had heard how they dealt with people with the virus).
I had vitamin C, and D on hand, and Ginger. I prayed to the Lord, and asked him if it was my time to go, if it was his will, I was Ok with it. Praised by saying that I trusted him.
The 4th night ended and I fell asleep early morning, and woke up a few hours later.
My ribs still hurt, but I wasn't caughing, and my breathing was fine. I thanked God for allowing me to live a little longer. Now, it did take me almost 2 months to recover a normal sense of taste and smell.
I never took their shot, and never got this sickeness again so far. I trust God, and not men.

I've always been reckless, and was sucker of adranaline rush, from childhood until my mid 50's.
I can't enumerate the number of times I could have died. But, I guess God didn't want me dead yet.

My favorite Psalms:

• Psalm 19 (Praise Almighty God)
• Psalm 23 The Lord the Shepherd of His People
• Psalm 91 Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

JUBILEES 23

And Abraham Died

1 And he placed two fingers of Yacob on his eyes, and he blessed the ALMIGHTY of gods, and he covered his face and stretched out his feet and slept the sleep of eternity, and was gathered to his fathers.
2 And notwithstanding all this Yacob was lying in his bosom, and knew not that Abraham, his father's father, was dead.
3 And Yacob awoke from his sleep, and behold Abraham was cold as ice, and he said 'Father, father'; but there was none that spoke, and he knew that he was dead.
4 And he arose from his bosom and ran and told Rebecca, his mother; and Rebecca went to Yitschaq in the night, and told him; and they went together, and Yacob with them, and a lamp was in his hand, and when they had gone in they found Abraham lying dead.
5 And Yitschaq fell on the face of his father and wept and kissed him.
6 And the voices were heard in the house of Abraham, and Ishmael his son arose, and went to Abraham his father, and wept over Abraham his father, he and all the house of Abraham, and they wept with a great weeping.
7 And his sons Yitschaq and Ishmael buried him in the double cave, near Sarah his wife, and they wept for him forty days, all the men of his house, and Yitschaq and Ishmael, and all their sons, and all the sons of Keturah in their places; and the days of weeping for Abraham were ended.
8 And he lived three jubilees and four weeks of years, one hundred
9 and seventy-five years, and completed the days of his life, being old and full of days. For the days of the forefathers, of their life, were nineteen jubilees; and after the Flood they began to grow less than nineteen jubilees, and to decrease in jubilees, and to grow old quickly, and to be full of their days by reason of manifold tribulation and the wickedness of their ways, with the exception of Abraham.
10 For Abraham was perfect in all his deeds with YAHWEH, and well-pleasing in righteousness all the days of his life; and behold, he did not complete four jubilees in his life, when he had grown old by reason of the wickedness, and was full of his days
11. And all the generations which shall arise from this time until the day of the great judgment shall grow old quickly, before they complete two jubilees, and their knowledge shall forsake them by reason of their old age, and all their knowledge shall vanish away.
12 And in those days, if a man live a jubilee and a-half of years, they shall say regarding him: 'He has lived long, and the greater part of his days are pain and sorrow and tribulation, and there is no shalom:
13 For calamity follows on calamity, and wound on wound, and tribulation on tribulation, and evil tidings on evil tidings, and illness on illness, and all evil judgments such as these, one with another, illness and overthrow, and snow and frost and ice, and fever, and chills, and torpor, and famine, and death, and sword, and captivity, and all kinds of calamities and pains.'
14 And all these shall come on an evil generation, which transgresses on the earth: their works are uncleanness and fornication, and pollution and abominations.
15 Then they shall say: 'The days of the forefathers were many (even), unto a thousand years, and were good; but behold, the days of our life, if a man has lived many, are three score years and ten (70), and, if he is strong, four score (80) years, and those evil, and there is no shalom in the days of this evil generation.'
16 And in that generation the sons shall convict their fathers and their elders of sin and unrighteousness, and of the words of their mouth and the great wickednesses which they perpetrate, and concerning their forsaking the covenant which YAHWEH made between them and Him, that they should observe and do all His commandments and His ordinances and all His Torah, without departing either to the right hand or the left.
17 For all have done evil, and every mouth speaks iniquity and all their works are an uncleanness and an abomination, and all their ways are pollution, uncleanness and destruction.
18 Behold the earth shall be destroyed on account of all their works, and there shall be no seed of the vine, and no oil; for their works are altogether faithless, and they shall all perish together, beasts and cattle and birds, and all the fish of the sea, on account of the children of men.
19 And they shall strive one with another, the young with the old, and the old with the young, the poor with the rich, the lowly with the great, and the beggar with the prince, on account of the Torah and the covenant; for they have forgotten commandment, and covenant, and feasts, and months, and Shabbats, and jubilees, and all judgments.
20 And they shall stand swords and war to turn them back into the way; but they shall not return until much blood has been shed on the earth, one by another.
21 And those who have escaped shall not return from their wickedness to the way of righteousness, but they shall all exalt themselves to deceit and wealth, that they may each take all that is his neighbor’s, and they shall name the great NAME of YAHWEH, but not in truth and not in righteousness, and they shall defile the kodesh of ha kodeshim with their uncleanness and the corruption of their pollution.
22 And a great punishment shall befall the deeds of this generation from YAHWEH, and He will give them over to the sword and to judgment and to captivity, and to be plundered and devoured.
23 And He will wake up against them the sinners of the Gentiles, who have neither mercy nor compassion, and who shall respect the person of none, neither old nor young, nor any one, for they are more wicked and strong to do evil than all the children of men. And they shall use violence against Yisrael and transgression against Yacob, And much blood shall be shed upon the earth, And there shall be none to gather and none to bury.
24 In those days they shall cry aloud, And call and pray that they may be saved from the hand of the sinners, the Gentiles; But none shall be saved.
25 And the heads of the children shall be white with grey hair, And a child of three weeks shall appear old like a man of one hundred years, And their stature shall be destroyed by tribulation and oppression.
26 And in those days the children shall begin to study the laws, And to seek the commandments, And to return to the path of righteousness.
27 And the days shall begin to grow many and increase amongst those children of men till their days draw nigh to one thousand years. And to a greater number of years than (before) was the number of the days.
28 And there shall be no old man Nor one who is satisfied with his days, For all shall be as children and youths.
29 And all their days they shall complete and live in shalom and in joy, And there shall be no Satan nor any evil destroyer; For all their days shall be days of blessing and healing.
30 And at that time YAHWEH will heal His servants, And they shall rise up and see great shalom, And drive out their adversaries. And the righteous shall see and be thankful, And rejoice with joy forever and ever, And shall see all their judgments and all their curses on their enemies.
31 And their bones shall rest in the earth, And their spirits shall have much joy, And they shall know that it is YAHWEH who executes judgment, And shows mercy to hundreds and thousands and to all that love Him
32 And do you, Mosheh, write down these words; for thus are they written, and they record them on the heavenly tablets for a testimony for the generations forever.

JUBILEES 22

Yitschaq and Ishmael come to celebrate “The Feast of Weeks” before Abrahams death

1 And it came to pass in the first week in the forty-fourth jubilee, in the second year, that is, the year in which Abraham died, that Yitschaq and Ishmael came from the “Well of the Oath” to celebrate “The Feast of Weeks” -that is, “The Feast of the First Fruits” of the harvest -to Abraham, their father, and Abraham rejoiced because his two sons had come.
2 For Yitschaq had many possessions in Beersheba, and Yitschaq was wont to go and see his possessions and to return to his father.
3 And in those days Ishmael came to see his father, and they both came together, and Yitschaq offered a sacrifice for a burnt offering, and presented it on the altar of his father which he had made in Hebron.
4 And he offered a thank offering and made a feast of joy before Ishmael, his brother: and Rebecca made new cakes from the new grain, and gave them to Yacob, her son, to take them to Abraham, his father, from the first fruits of the land, that he might eat and bless the Creator of all things before he died.
5 And Yitschaq, too, sent by the hand of Yacob to Abraham a best thank offering, that he might eat and drink.
6 And he eat and drank, and blessed the Most High YAHWEH, Who has created heaven and earth, Who has made all the fat things of the earth, And given them to the children of men That they might eat and drink and bless their Creator .
7 'And now I give thanks unto You, my Sovereign Ruler, because you have caused me to see this day: behold, I am one hundred and seventy five years, an old man and full of days, and all my days have been unto me shalom.
8 The sword of the adversary has not overcome me in all that You have given me and my children all the days of my life until this day.
9 My Sovereign Ruler, may Your mercy and Your shalom be upon Your servant, and upon the seed of his sons, that they may be to You a chosen nation and an inheritance from amongst all the nations of the earth from henceforth unto all the days of the generations of the earth, unto all the ages.'
10 And he called Yacob and said: 'My son Yacob, may YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of all bless you and strengthen you to do righteousness, and His will before Him, and may He choose you and your seed that you may become a people for His inheritance according to His will always.
11 And do you, my son, Yacob, draw near and kiss me.' And he drew near and kissed him, and he said: 'Blessed be my son Yacob And all the sons of YAHWEH Most High, unto all the ages: May YAHWEH give unto you a seed of righteousness; And some of your sons may He sanctify in the midst of the whole earth; May nations serve you, And all the nations bow themselves before your seed.
12 Be strong in the presence of men, And exercise authority over all the seed of Seth. Then your ways and the ways of your sons will be justified, So that they shall become a kodesh nation.
13 May the Most High YAHWEH give you all the blessings Wherewith He has blessed me And wherewith He blessed Noah and Adam; May they rest on the sacred head of your seed from generation to generation forever.
14 And may He cleanse you from all unrighteousness and impurity, that you may be forgiven all the transgressions; which you have committed ignorantly. And may He strengthen you, and bless you.
15 And may you inherit the whole earth, And may He renew His covenant with you. That you may be to Him a nation for His inheritance for all the ages, and that He may be to you and to your seed a ALMIGHTY in truth and righteousness throughout all the days of the earth.
16 And do you, my son Yacob, remember my words, And observe the commandments of Abraham, your father: Separate yourself from the nations, And eat not with them: And do not according to their works, And become not their associate; For their works are unclean, And all their ways are a pollution and an abomination and uncleanness.
17 They offer their sacrifices to the dead and they worship evil spirits, and they eat over the graves, and all their works are vanity and nothingness.
18 They have no heart to understand and their eyes do not see what their works are, and how they err in saying to a piece of wood: 'You are my Sovereign Ruler,' and to a stone: 'You are my Sovereign Ruler and you are my deliverer.' [And they have no heart.]
19 And as for you, my son Yacob, May the Most High YAHWEH help you, and the ALMIGHTY of heaven bless you, and remove you from their uncleanness and from all their error.
20 Be you ware, my son Yacob, of taking a wife from any seed of the daughters of Canaan; for all his seed is to be rooted out of the earth.
21 For, owing to the transgression of Ham, Canaan erred, and all his seed shall be destroyed from off the earth and all the residue thereof, and none springing from him shall be saved on the day of judgment.
22 And as for all the worshippers of idols and the profane
(b) There shall be no hope for them in the land of the living;
(c) And there shall be no remembrance of them on the earth;
(c) For they shall descend into Sheol,
(d) And into the place of condemnation shall they go, As the children of Sodom were taken away from the earth So will all those who worship idols be taken away.
23 Fear not, my son Yacob, and be not dismayed, O son of Abraham: May the Most High YAHWEH preserve you from destruction, And from all the paths of error may he deliver you.
24 This house have I built for myself that I might put my name upon it in the earth: [it is given to you and to your seed forever], and it will be named the house of Abraham; it is given to you and to your seed forever; for you will build my house and establish my name before YAHWEH forever: your seed and your name will stand throughout all generations of the earth.'
25 And he ceased commanding him and blessing him.
26 And the two lay together on one bed, and Yacob slept in the bosom of Abraham, his father's father and he kissed him seven times, and his affection and his heart rejoiced over him.
27 And he blessed him with all his heart and said: 'The Most High YAHWEH, the Sovereign Ruler of all, and Creator of all, who brought me forth from Ur of the Chaldees that He might give me this land to inherit it forever, and that I might establish a kodesh seed-blessed be the Most High forever.'
28 And he blessed Yacob and said: 'My son, over whom with all my heart and my affection I rejoice, may Your free unmerited favor and Your mercy be lift up upon him and upon his seed always.
29 And do not forsake him, nor set him at naught from henceforth unto the days of eternity, and may Your eyes be opened upon him and upon his seed, that You may preserve him, and
30 bless him, and may make him kodesh as a nation for Your inheritance; And bless him with all Your blessings from henceforth unto all the days of eternity, and renew Your covenant and Your free unmerited favor with him and with his seed according to all Your good pleasure unto all the generations of the earth.'

JUBILEES 20

Abraham called all his sons and commanded them to observe the way of YAHWEH

1 And in the forty-second jubilee, in the first year of the seventh week, Abraham called Ishmael, [2052 (2045?) A.M.] and his twelve sons, and Yitschaq and his two sons, and the six sons of Keturah, and their sons.
2 And he commanded them that they should observe the way of YAHWEH; that they should work righteousness, and love each his neighbour, and act on this manner amongst all men; that they should each so walk with regard to them as to do just judgment and righteousness on the earth.
3 That they should circumcise their sons, according to the covenant which He had made with them, and not deviate to the right hand or the left of all the paths which YAHWEH had commanded us; and that we should keep ourselves from all fornication and uncleanness, and renounce from amongst us all fornication and uncleanness.
4 And if any woman or maid commit fornication amongst you, burn her with fire and let them not commit fornication with her after their eyes and their heart; and let them not take to themselves wives from the daughters of Canaan; for the seed of Canaan will be rooted out of the land.
5 And he told them of the judgment of the giants, and the judgment of the Sodomites, how they had been judged on account of their wickedness, and had died on account of their fornication, and uncleanness, and mutual corruption through fornication.
6 'And guard yourselves from all fornication and uncleanness, And from all pollution of sin, Lest you make our name a curse, And your whole life a hissing, And all your sons to be destroyed by the sword, And you become accursed like Sodom, And all your remnant as the sons of Gomorrah.
7 I implore you, my sons, love YAHWEH of heaven And cleave you to all His commandments.
8 And walk not after their idols, and after their uncleannesses, And make not for yourselves molten or graven gods; For they are vanity, And there is no spirit in them; For they are work of men's hands, And all who trust in them, trust in nothing.
9 Serve them not, nor worship them, But serve you the most high YAHWEH, and worship Him continually: And hope for His countenance always, And work uprightness and righteousness before Him, That He may have pleasure in you and grant you His mercy, And send rain upon you morning and evening, And bless all your works which you have wrought upon the earth, And bless your bread and your water, And bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, And the herds of your cattle, and the flocks of your sheep.
10 And you will be for a blessing on the earth, And all nations of the earth will desire you, And bless your sons in my name, That they may be blessed as I am.
11 And he gave to Ishmael and to his sons, and to the sons of Keturah, gifts, and sent them away from Yitschaq his son, and he gave everything to Yitschaq his son.
12 And Ishmael and his sons, and the sons of Keturah and their sons, went together and dwelt from Paran to the entering in of Babylon in all the land which is towards the East facing the desert.
13 And these mingled with each other, and their name was called Arabs, and Ishmaelites.

JUBILEES 21

Abraham called Yitschaq his son and instructs and blesses him

1 And in the sixth year of the seventh week of this jubilee Abraham called Yitschaq his son, and [2057 (2050?) A.M.] commanded him: saying, 'I am become old, and know not the day of my death, and am full of my days.
2 And behold, I am one hundred and seventy-five years old, and throughout all the days of my life I have remembered YAHWEH, and sought with all my heart to do His will, and to walk uprightly in all His ways.
3 My soul has hated idols, and I have given my heart and spirit, that I might observe to do the will of Him who created me.
4 For He is the living YAHWEH, and He is kodesh and faithful, and He is righteous beyond all, and there is with Him no accepting of men's persons and no accepting of gifts; for YAHWEH is righteous, and executes judgment on all those who transgress His commandments and despise His covenant.
5 And do you, my son, observe His commandments and His ordinances and His judgments, and walk not after the abominations and after the graven images and after the molten images.
6 And eat no blood at all of animals or cattle, or of any bird which flies in the heaven.
7 And if you do slay a victim as an acceptable shalom offering, slay you it, and pour out its blood upon the altar, and all the fat of the offering offer on the altar with fine flour and the meat offering mingled with oil, with its drink offering -offer them all together on the altar of burnt offering; it is a sweet savor before YAHWEH.
8 And you will offer the fat of the sacrifice of thank offerings on the fire which is upon the altar, and the fat which is on the belly, and all the fat on the inwards and the two kidneys, and all the fat that is upon them, and upon the loins and liver you shall remove, together with the kidneys.
9 And offer all these for a sweet savor acceptable before YAHWEH, with its meat-offering and with its drink-offering, for a sweet savor, the bread of the offering unto YAHWEH.
10 And eat its meat on that day and on the second day, and let not the sun on the second day go down upon it till it is eaten, and let nothing be left over for the third day; for it is not acceptable [for it is not approved] and let it no longer be eaten, and all who eat thereof will bring sin upon themselves; for thus I have found it written in the books of my forefathers, and in the words of Enoch, and in the words of Noah.
11 And on all your oblations you shall strew salt, and let not the salt of the covenant be lacking in all your oblations before YAHWEH.
12 And as regards the wood of the sacrifices, beware lest you bring (other) wood for the altar in addition to these: cypress, bay, almond, fir, pine, cedar, savin, fig, olive, myrrh, laurel, aspalathus.
13 And of these kinds of wood lay upon the altar under the sacrifice, such as have been tested as to their appearance, and do not lay (thereon) any split or dark wood, (but) hard and clean, without fault, a sound and new growth; and do not lay (thereon) old wood, [for its fragrance is gone] for there is no longer fragrance in it as before.
14 Besides these kinds of wood there is none other that you shall place (on the altar), for the fragrance is dispersed, and the smell of its fragrance goes not up to heaven.
15 Observe this commandment and do it, my son, that you may be upright in all your deeds.
16 And at all times be clean in your body, and wash yourself with water before you approach to offer on the altar, and wash your hands and your feet before you draw near to the altar; and when you are done sacrificing, wash again your hands and your feet.
17 And let no blood appear upon you nor upon your clothes; be on your guard, my son, against blood, be on your guard exceedingly; cover it with dust.
18 And do not eat any blood for it is the soul; eat no blood whatever.
19 And take no gifts for the blood of man, lest it be shed with impunity, without judgment; for it is the blood that is shed that causes the earth to sin, and the earth cannot be cleansed from the blood of man save by the blood of him who shed it.
20 And take no present or gift for the blood of man: blood for blood, that you may be accepted before the ALMIGHTY, the Most High YAHWEH; for He is the defense of the good: and that you may be preserved from all evil, and that He may save you from every kind of death.
21 I see, my son, That all the works of the children of men are sin and wickedness, And all their deeds are uncleanness and an abomination and a pollution, And there is no righteousness with them.
22 Beware, lest you should walk in their ways And tread in their paths, And sin a sin unto death before the Most High YAHWEH. Else He will hide His face from you And give you back into the hands of your transgression, And root you out of the land, and your seed likewise from under heaven, And your name and your seed shall perish from the whole earth.
23 Turn away from all their deeds and all their uncleanness, And observe the ordinance of the Most High YAHWEH, And do His will and be upright in all things.
24 And He will bless you in all your deeds, And will raise up from you a plant of righteousness through all the earth, throughout all generations of the earth, And my name and your name shall not be forgotten under heaven forever.
25 Go, my son in shalom. May the Most High YAHWEH, my Sovereign Ruler and your Sovereign Ruler, strengthen you to do His will, And may He bless all your seed and the residue of your seed for the generations forever, with all righteous blessings, that you may be a blessing on all the earth.'
26 And he went out from him rejoicing.

JUBILEES 17

Abraham made a great banquet for Yitschaq was weaned

1 And in the first year of the fifth week Yitschaq was weaned in this jubilee, [1982 A.M.] and Abraham made a great banquet in the third month, on the day his son Yitschaq was weaned.
2 And Ishmael, the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, was before the face of Abraham, his father, in his place, and Abraham rejoiced and blessed YAHWEH because he had seen his sons and had not died childless.
3 And he remembered the words which He had spoken to him on the day on which Lot had parted from him, and he rejoiced because YAHWEH had given him seed upon the earth to inherit the earth, and he blessed with all his mouth the Creator of all things.
4 And Sarah saw Ishmael playing and dancing, and Abraham rejoicing with great joy, and she became jealous of Ishmael and said to Abraham, 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman will not be heir with my son, Yitschaq.'
5 And the thing was grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his maidservant and because of his son, that he should drive them from him.
6 And YAHWEH said to Abraham 'Let it not be grievous in your sight, because of the child and because of the bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her words and do them; for in Yitschaq shall your name and seed be called.
7 But as for the son of this bondwoman I will make him a great nation, because he is of your seed.'
8 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and placed them on the shoulders of Hagar and the child, and sent her away.
9 And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba, and the water in the bottle was spent, and the child thirsted, and was not able to go on, and fell down.
10 And his mother took him and cast him under an olive tree, and went and sat her down over against him, at the distance of a bow-shot; for she said, 'Let me not see the death of my child,' and as she sat she wept.
11 And a malak of YAHWEH, one of the kodesh ones, said to her, 'Why weep you, Hagar? Arise take the child, and hold him in your hand; for YAHWEH has heard your voice, and has seen the child.'
12 And she opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and she went and filled her bottle with water, and she gave her child to drink, and she arose and went towards the wilderness of Paran.
13 And the child grew and became an archer, and YAHWEH was with him, and his mother took him a wife from among the daughters of Egypt.
14 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Nebaioth; for she said, 'YAHWEH was nigh to me when I called upon Him.'
15 And it came to pass in the seventh week, in the first year thereof, [2003 A.M.] in the first month in this jubilee, on the twelfth of this month, there were voices in heaven regarding Abraham, that he was faithful in all that He told him, and that he loved YAHWEH, and that in every affliction he was faithful.
16 And the prince Mastema came and said before YAHWEH, 'Behold, Abraham loves Yitschaq his son, and he delights in him above all things else; bid him offer him as a burnt-offering on the altar, and You will see if he will do this command, and You will know if he is faithful in everything wherein You do try him.
17 And YAHWEH knew that Abraham was faithful in all his afflictions; for He had tried him through his country and with famine, and had tried him with the wealth of kings, and had tried him again through his wife, when she was torn from him, and with circumcision; and had tried him through Ishmael and Hagar, his maid-servant, when he sent them away.
18 And in everything wherein He had tried him, he was found faithful, and his soul was not impatient, and he was not slow to act; for he was faithful and a lover of YAHWEH.

JUBILEES 18

Abraham offers up Yitschaq his son

1, And YAHWEH said to him, 'Abraham, Abraham'; and he said, ‘Behold, here am I.'
2 And he said, ‘Take your beloved son whom you love, even Yitschaq, and go unto the high country, and offer him on one of the mountains which I will point out unto you.'
3 And he rose early in the morning and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Yitschaq his son, and clave the wood of the burnt offering, and he went to the place on the third day, and he saw the place afar off.
4 And he came to a well of water, and he said to his young men, 'Abide you here with the ass, and I and the lad shall go yonder, and when we have worshipped we shall come again to you.'
5 And he took the wood of the burnt-offering and laid it on Yitschaq his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and they went both of them together to that place.
6 And Yitschaq said to his father, 'Father;' and he said, 'Here am I, my son.' And he said to him, 'Behold the fire, and the knife, and the wood; but where is the sheep for the burnt-offering, father?'
7 And he said, ' YAHWEH will provide for himself a sheep for a burnt-offering, my son.' And he drew near to the place of the mount of YAHWEH.
8 And he built an altar, and he placed the wood on the altar, and bound Yitschaq his son, and placed him on the wood which was upon the altar, and stretched forth his hand to take the knife to slay Yitschaq his son.
9 And I stood before him, and before the prince Mastema, and YAHWEH said, 'Bid him not to lay his hand on the lad, nor to do anything to him, for I have shown that he fears YAHWEH.'
10 And I called to him from heaven, and said to him: 'Abraham, Abraham;' and he was terrified and said: 'Behold, (here) am I.'
11 And I said to him: 'Lay not your hand upon the lad, neither do you anything to him; for now I have shown that you fear YAHWEH, and have not withheld your son, your first-born son, from me.'
12 And the prince Mastema was put to shame; and Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold a ram caught by his horns, and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
13 And Abraham called that place 'YAHWEH has seen', so that it is said YAHWEH has seen: that is Mount Zion.
14 And YAHWEH called Abraham by his name a second time from heaven, as he caused us to appear to speak to him in the NAME of YAHWEH.
15 And he said: 'By Myself have I sworn, saith YAHWEH, Because you have done this thing, And have not withheld your son, your beloved son, from Me, That in blessing I will bless you, And in multiplying I will multiply your seed As the stars of heaven, And as the sand which is on the seashore.
16 And your seed shall inherit the cities of its enemies, And in your seed shall all nations of the earth be blessed; Because you have obeyed My voice, And I have shown to all that you are faithful unto Me in all that I have said to you: Go in shalom.'
17 And Abraham went to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham [2010 A.M.]
18 dwelt by the “Well of the Oath”. And he celebrated this festival every year, seven days with joy, and he called it “The Festival of YAHWEH” according to the seven days during which he went and returned in shalom.
19 And accordingly has it been ordained and written on the heavenly tablets regarding Yisrael and its seed that they should observe this festival seven days with the joy of festival.

JUBILEES 14

YAHWEH cames to Abram in a Dream

1 After these things, in the fourth year of this week, on the new month of the third month, the word of YAHWEH came to Abram in a dream, saying: 'Fear not, Abram; I am your defender, and your reward will be exceeding great.'
2 And he said: 'YAHWEH, ALMIGHTY, what will you give me, seeing I go hence childless, and the son of Maseq, the son of my handmaid, is the Dammasek Eliezer: he will be my heir, and to me you have given no seed.'
3 And he said to him: 'This (man) will not be your heir, but one that will come out of your own bowels; he will be your heir.'
4 And He brought him forth abroad, and said to him: 'Look toward heaven and number the stars if you are able to number them.'
5 And he looked toward heaven, and beheld the stars. And He said to him: 'So shall your seed be.'
6 And he believed in YAHWEH, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
7 And He said to him: 'I am YAHWEH that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you the land of the Canaanites to possess it forever; and I will be Sovereign Ruler unto you and to your seed after you.'
8 And he said: 'YAHWEH, ALMIGHTY, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?'
9 And He said to him: 'Take Me an heifer of three years, and a goat of three years, and a sheep of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a pigeon.'
10 And he took all these in the middle of the month and he dwelt at the oak of Mamre, which is near Hebron.
11 And he built there an altar, and sacrificed all these; and he poured their blood upon the altar, and divided them in the midst, and laid them over against each other; but the birds divided he not.
12 And birds came down upon the pieces, and Abram drove them away, and did not suffer the birds to touch them.
13 And it came to pass, when the sun had set, that an ecstasy fell upon Abram, and lo! a horror of great darkness fell upon him, and it was said to Abram: 'Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land (that is) not theirs, and they shall bring them into bondage, and afflict them four hundred years.
14 And the nation also to whom they will be in bondage will I judge, and after that they shall come forth thence with much substance.
15 And you shall go to your fathers in shalom, and be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here; for the iniquity of the
17 Amorites is not yet full.' And he awoke from his sleep, and he arose, and the sun had set; and there was a flame, and behold! A furnace was smoking, and a flame of fire passed between the pieces.
18 And on that day YAHWEH made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'To your seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates, the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Perizzites, and the Rephaim, the Phakorites, and the Hivites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
19 And the day passed, and Abram offered the pieces, and the birds, and their fruit offerings, and their drink offerings, and the fire devoured them.
20 And on that day we made a covenant with Abram, according as we had covenanted with Noah in this month; and Abram renewed the festival and ordinance for himself forever.
21 And Abram rejoiced, and made all these things known to Sarai his wife; and he believed that he would have seed, but she did not bear.
22 And Sarai advised her husband Abram, and said to him: 'Go in unto Hagar, my Egyptian maid: it may be that I shall build up seed unto you by her.'
23 And Abram listened unto the voice of Sarai his wife, and said to her, 'Do (so).' And Sarai took Hagar, her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to Abram, her husband, to be his wife.
24 And he went in unto her, and she conceived and bare him a son, and he called his name Ishmael, in the fifth year of this week [1965 A.M.]; and this was the eighty-sixth year in the life of Abram.

JUBILEES 15

YAHWEH appeared to Abram at the feast of the firstfruits

1 And in the fifth year of the fourth week of this jubilee, [1979 A.M.] in the third month, in the middle of the month, Abram celebrated the feast of the first- fruits of the grain harvest.
2 And he offered new offerings on the altar, the first-fruits of the produce, unto YAHWEH, an heifer and a goat and a sheep on the altar as a burnt sacrifice unto YAHWEH; their fruit offerings and their drink offerings he offered upon the altar with frankincense.
3 And YAHWEH appeared to Abram, and said to him:
4 'I am YAHWEH Almighty; approve yourself before me and be you perfect. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.' And Abram fell on his face, and YAHWEH talked with him, and said:
6 'Behold my ordinance is with you, And you shall be the father of many nations.
7 Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, But your name from henceforth, even forever, shall be Abraham.
8 For the father of many nations have I made you. And I will make you very great, And I will make you into nations, And kings shall come forth from you.
9 And I shall establish My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for an eternal covenant, so that I may be a Sovereign Ruler to you, and to your seed after you.
10 And the land where you have been a sojourner, the land of Canaan, that you may possess it forever, and I will be their Sovereign Ruler.'
11 And YAHWEH said to Abraham: 'And as for you, do you keep my covenant, you and your seed after you: and circumcise you every male among you, and circumcise your foreskins, and it shall be a token of an eternal covenant between Me and you.
12 And the child on the eighth day you shall circumcise, every male throughout your generations, him that is born in the house, or whom you have bought with money from any stranger, whom you have acquired who is not of your seed.
13 He that is born in your house shall surely be circumcised, and those whom you have bought with money shall be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an eternal ordinance.
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be cut off from his people, for he has broken My covenant.'
15 And YAHWEH said to Abraham: 'As for Sarai your wife, her name shall no more be called Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
16 And I will bless her, and give you a son by her, and I will bless him, and he shall become a nation, and kings of nations shall proceed from him.'
17 And Abraham fell on his face, and rejoiced, and said in his heart: 'Shall a son be born to him that is a hundred years old, and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bring forth?'
18 And Abraham said to YAHWEH: 'O that Ishmael might live before you!'
19 And YAHWEH said: 'Yes, and Sarah also shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yitschaq, and I will establish My covenant with him, an everlasting covenant, and for his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael also have I heard you, and behold I will bless him, and make him great, and multiply him exceedingly, and he shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
21 But My covenant will I establish with Yitschaq, whom Sarah shall bear to you, in these days, in the next year.'
22 And He left off speaking with him, and YAHWEH went up from Abraham.
23 And Abraham did according as YAHWEH had said to him, and he took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and whom he had bought with his money, every male in his house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin.
24 And on the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and all the men of his house, and all those, whom he had bought with money from the children of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
25 This Torah is for all the generations forever, and there is no circumcision of the days, and no omission of one day out of the eight days; for it is an eternal ordinance, ordained and written on the heavenly tablets.
26 And every one that is born, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised on the eighth day, belongs not to the children of the covenant which YAHWEH made with Abraham, but to the children of destruction; nor is there, moreover, any sign on him that he is YAHWEH's, but (he is destined) to be destroyed and slain from the earth, and to be rooted out of the earth, for he has broken the covenant of YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler.
27 For all the malakim of the presence and all the malakim of sanctification have been so created from the day of their creation, and before the malakim of the presence and the malakim of sanctification He has sanctified Yisrael, that they should be with Him and with His kodesh malakim.
28 And do you command the children of Yisrael and let them observe the sign of this covenant for their generations as an eternal ordinance, and they will not be rooted out of the land.
29 For the command is ordained for a covenant, that they should observe it forever among all the children of Yisrael.
30 For Ishmael and his sons and his brothers and Esau, YAHWEH did not cause to approach Him, and he chose them not because they are the children of Abraham, because He knew them, but He chose Yisrael to be His people.
31 And He sanctified it, and gathered it from amongst all the children of men; for there are many nations and many peoples, and all are His, and over all has He placed spirits in authority to lead them astray from Him.
32 But over Yisrael He did not appoint any malak or spirit, for He alone is their ruler, and He will preserve them and require them at the hand of His malakim and His spirits, and at the hand of all His powers in order that He may preserve them and bless them, and that they may be His and He may be theirs from henceforth forever.
33 And now I announce unto you that the children of Yisrael will not keep true to this ordinance, and they will not circumcise their sons according to all this Torah; for in the flesh of their circumcision they will omit this circumcision of their sons, and all of them, sons of Belial, will leave their sons uncircumcised as they were born.
34 And there will be great wrath from YAHWEH against the children of Yisrael, because they have forsaken His covenant and turned aside from His word, and provoked and blasphemed, inasmuch as they do not observe the ordinance of this Torah; for they have treated their members like the Gentiles, so that they may be removed and rooted out of the land. And there will no more be pardon or forgiveness unto them [so that there should be forgiveness and pardon] for all the sin of this eternal error.
