I am going to make a statement.  Actually, more than a statement.  After you read what I say, you are free to agree, disagree, have no opinion whatsoever, or just ignore it and not read it at all.  But, if you think I’m wrong and want to say so, be my guest.  Only, don’t just say something like there’s no evidence that it was written at that time, or, that’s just human religious belief, or the idea of that is so preposterous it can’t be real. Don’t just disagree and argue, and say the experts say the same thing.  All that tells me is that they probably didn’t do any more research than it took for the evidence to say what they wanted it to say.  If you can’t show me enough evidence to prove what I have learned is wrong.  You are as much as saying, you don’t agree with what I say because it doesn’t conform to what you have learned, but you can’t find enough evidence to prove me wrong.  Which means, it’s a good possibility that what I say that I have learned is not wrong.

 

      Here goes.  I have had a few discussions on a forum lately and for some reason they all seam to revolve around pretty much the same events in history and certain prophesies made in the Old Testament of the Bible concerning them as well as some apocryphal text also.

 

     In Genesis 48: 13-20 Jacob bestows birth right promise and prophesy to Ephraim and Manasseh. 

 

     In Genesis 49:10 Jacob, concerning Judah; The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

 

     In Genesis 49:22 Jacob, concerning Joseph; Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

 

     Isa 40:31 End of chapter 40 concerning the LORD’s people; But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

      Isa 41:1 Still concerning the LORD’s people; Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength:  Let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. 

     Isa 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Gavan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

 

     Hosea 1:1-9 GOD naming Hosea’s children.

     Hosea 1:9 Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

     Hosea 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

     Hosea 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. 

(Footnote; where in the area of the Middle East were they notknown as GOD’s people?)

 

           Jer 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

 

     (Footnote; Where did Jeremiah build and plant?)

 

     Jer. 25:22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,

 

     Jer 31:10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.            

 

     Jer 33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

The 29^th Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.  If you haven’t read it already, read it now.  You say there is no evidence that it wasn’t written at the time it was found.  Show me then, your evidence, proof, tests, and/or verification that it is not authentic.

 

   From the book “Did the Apostle Paul Visit Britain?”  By R. W. Morgan with introductory comments by Dr. Gene Scott.

 

1.       And Paul, full of the blessings of Christ, and abounding in the spirit, departed out of Rome, determining to go into Spain, for he had a long time proposed to journey thitherward, and was minded also to go from thence to Britain.

2.       For he had heard in Phoenicia that certain of the children of Israel, about the time of the Assyrian captivity, had escaped by sea to “The Isles afar off” as spoken by the Prophet [Esdra], and called by the Romans—Britain.

3.       And the Lord commanded the gospel to be preached far hence to the Gentiles [nations], and to the lost sheep of the House of Israel [Act 9:15, 22:21]

4.       And no man hindered Paul; for he testified boldly of Jesus before the tribunes and among the people; and he took with him certain of the brethren which abode with him at Rome, and they took shipping at Ostrium and having the winds fair, were brought safely into a haven of Spain.

5.       And much people were gathered together from the towns and villages, and the hill country; for they had heard of the conversion of the Apostles, and the many miracles which he had wrought.

6.       And Paul preached mightily in Spain, and great multitudes believed and were converted, for they perceived he was an apostle sent from God.

7.       And they departed out of Spain, and Paul and his company finding a ship in Armorica sailing unto Britain, they were therein, and passing along the South Coast, they reached a port called Raphinus.  (This is the Roman name for Sandwich, in Kent.  In Saxon times there was, still standing in Sandwich, an old house called the “House of the Apostles).

8.       Now when it was voiced abroad that the Apostle had landed on their coast, great multitudes of the inhabitants met him, and they treated Paul courteously and he entered in at the east gate of their city, and lodged in the house of an Hebrew and one of his own nation.

9.       And on the morrow he came and stood upon Mount Lud (Ludgate Hill and Broadway where St. Paul’s Cathedral stands in London, England) and the people thronged at the gate, and assembled in the Broadway, and he preached Christ unto them, and they believed the Word and the testimony of Jesus.

10.   And at even the Holy Ghost fell upon Paul, and he prophesied, saying, Behold in the last days the God of Peace shall dwell in the cities, and the inhabitants thereof shall be numbered: and in the seventh numbering of the people, their eyes shall be opened, and the glory of their inheritance shine forth before them.  The nations shall come up to worship on the mount that testifieth of the patience and long suffering of a servant of the Lord.   11.   And in the latter days new tidings of the Gospel shall issue forth out of Jerusalem, and the hearts of the people shall rejoice, and behold, fountains shall be opened, and there shall be no more plague. 

12.   In those days there shall be wars and rumours of war; and a king shall rise up, and his sword, shall be for the healing of the nations, and his peace making shall abide, and the glory of his kingdom a wonder among princes. 

13.   And it came to pass that certain of the Druids came unto Paul privately, and showed by their rites and ceremonies they were descended from the Jews [Judahites] which escaped from bondage in the land of Egypt, and the Apostle believed these things, and he gave them the kiss of peace. 

14.   And Paul abode in his lodgings three months confirming in the faith and preaching Christ continually. 

15.   And after these things Paul and his brethren departed from Raphinus and sailed unto Atium in Gaul.

16.   And Paul preached in the Roman garrison and among the people, exhorting all men to repent and confess their sins.

17.   And there came to him certain of the Belgae to enquire of him of the new doctrine, and of the man Jesus; and Paul opened his heart unto them and told them all the things that had befallen him, howbeit, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; and they departed pondering among themselves upon the things which they had heard.

18.   And after much preaching and toil, Paul and his fellow labourers passed into Helvetia, and came to Mount Pontius Pilate, where he who condemned the Lord Jesus dashed himself down headlong, and so miserably perished.

19.   And immediately a torrent gushed out of the mountain and washed his body, broken in pieces, into a lake.

20.   And Paul stretched forth his hands upon the water, and prayed unto the Lord, saying O Lord God, give a sigh unto all nations that here Pontius Pilate which condemned thine only-begotten Son, plunged down headlong into the pit.

21.   And while Paul was yet speaking, behold, there came a great earthquake, and the face of the waters was changed, and the form of the lake like unto the son of Man hanging in an agony upon the Cross.

22.   And a voice came out of heaven saying, Even Pilate hath escaped the wrath to come (Second death—Rev. 21:8) for he washed his hands before the multitude at the blood–shedding of the Lord Jesus (Matt. 277:24).

23.   When, therefore, Paul and those that were with him saw the earthquake, and heard the voice of the angel, they glorified God, and were mightily strengthened in the spirit.

24.   And they journeyed and came to Mount Julius where stood two pillars, one on the right hand and one of the left hand, erected by Caesar Augustus.

25.   And Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, stood up between the two pillars, saying, Men and brethren these stones which ye see this day shall testify of my journey hence; and verily I say, they shall remain until the outpouring of the spirit upon all nations, neither shall the way be hindered throughout all generations.

26.   And they went forth and came into Illtricum, intending to go by Macedonia into Asia, and grace was found in all the churches, and they prospered and had peace. Amen!

 

     All of these prophecies concern England and the United States.  The events start with the greeting of Paul to the Gentile Church in Rome.  They are related to him, the ones that came from Britain, some were already Christian in England.

 

     “ Now here is the kicker if you believe Lev. 26, the promise of God linked with the curse of God, that once his people entered the Promised Land and disobeyed Him he would punish them seven times; seven times three hundred sixty or twenty-five hundred and twenty years.”  “In 721 B. C. history records the fall of Israel to the Assyrian King.  By my count, if we add 2520 years of hidden truth, it brings us to 1800.  You have to adjust that year as you go from 1 B. C. to 1 A. D., which is not two years, but one year.  From 721 B. C. to 1800 is twenty-five hundred and twenty years.  The seven times punishment of identity was destined to end in that year.” 

 

     “If this manuscript had been allowed to circulate, the certain declaration of God through the prophet Hosea that the lost tribes would be lost, be known as not having obtained mercy, scattered, known not as God’s people, the hiding and losing of these people until the appointed time, would nave been forfeited.  Their cover would have been blown.”

 

     Had this manuscript been found and included in the canon, the prophecy of Hosea would have been errant.  The tribes would not have been lost.  The message of Isaiah, … would not have been possible.  Are we to believe this is an accident?”  (or fake)  “Twenty-five hundred and twenty years pass in preparation of that day on which the manuscript by Sonnini is made available to the people.”

 

     “Now, Deuteronomy says that a prophet is a prophet if what he says comes to pass.  If it doesn’t come to pass, you don’t have to listen to him anymore.”  Try applying this test to the 29^th chapter.  First, stamp collectors know there is a commemorative set of stamps commemorating that landing in Spain.  Two: You can go today in Britain to that place where it is commemorated that he landed.  Some might say that it was a miracle that St. Paul’s Cathedral went undamaged in the Nazi firebombing of London.  Which, by the way, stands where Paul preached.  “Representatives of nations have come to St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.  Winston Churchill once said, ”St. Paul’s is London.” ”

 

    “Manasseh was carried into bondage before 721.  Twenty-five hundred twenty years from that earlier date when Manasseh went into bondage, that branch went over the wall from the mother vine (Britain) and the United States rebelled.”  (check the date of the American Revolution, probably about the date of the “Shot heard around the World”)  “Now in this case, twenty-five hundred and twenty years from when the capital of Samaria fell, a manuscript is discovered and the prophet’s test is met.  Peace, numbering and in the seventh numbering an understanding of their inheritance is possible.

 

     “How critical for this ancient manuscript hidden through the centuries in Constantinople to be discovered at the exact hour prophesied.”

 

     “The test of a prophet is that what he says comes true.”

     Now, my statements have been made.  You prove them wrong.  To coin an old cliché,”I double-dog dare you.”

     P. S.  If you only use the accepted “textus receptus” of history books, then your only using what the Board of Education has decided that you need to know.  The higher your education, the more myopic your education becomes.   Unfortunately, that also appears to be the case with most Religious Education, (taught by the Church and Church run schools) as well.
