IF MY PEOPLE

Let his days be few; let another take his office.

Psalm 109:8

“’..put away violence and destruction, and practice justice and righteousness. Stop your expropriations from My people,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

Ezekiel 45:9

When did you ever see in your lifetime, in this country, during a campaign, prior to the primaries of a major political party an organized and orchestrated manipulation of children to sing the praises of a “future leader” as though he were some messianic figure upon whom hung the entire fate of this nation and the world with his being elected to office?

When did we ever witness such a thing before?

When and where did you ever see such a thing before, and what did it bring?

And what do you think it has brought to US the last three and a half years?

When have you ever heard a candidate for president advocate a civilian defense militia that is larger, better funded and equipped than our own armed forces?

When did you hear that Barack Obama, as president, had formed a private army of six thousand well armed, well trained, and well equipped private army?

When have you seen such a thing in this country!?

Who are the enemies that we need to have a civilian national security force within our borders?

When will it stop?

Will our own military be used by this president or a future president in our lifetime to enforce that president’s dictates as law?

When did you ever hear of a sitting president unilaterally enforce as policy and law treaties and stipulations without congressional oversight - review or approval/disapproval?

When did Martial Law begin the US? When did you ever hear of cities going broke because they did not have the revenue to cover the costs of their services?

When did you ever hear that states were going broke because they too did not have the revenue to cover their budgets, even with aid from the federal government?

When did you ever hear of a five trillion dollar deficit for a single year of federal expenditures?

When if ever?

And how is it that this administration spend that money without your consent or mine on whatever it pleased – that is, without congressional oversight?

It is estimated that in order for the federal government of the United States to pay just the interest on its debt, it will have to increase federal income taxes to sixty-five percent of the wages of every US wage earner.

When have you ever heard that the government’s taxes on your income would have to be raised to such levels in order to service just the interest on the federal debt?

That’s not counting the debt owed by state and local governments throughout the nation.

If you were to include those within the equation, there would not be enough wage earners across this country to meet the demand of debt repayment even if their wages were to be taxed at the 100 percent level!

When have you ever seen such a thing?

When in your memory were you ever told by your government and press that the country was in a recovery, yet all around you, you witnessed – as we are witnessing today – higher unemployment, more personal bankruptcies, more foreclosures, more shuttered businesses, more bankrupted state and local governments, more tent cities springing up at the outskirts of almost every major city in the country – indeed a Growing movement of squatters in USA...?

Less business volume, decrease in durable goods, decrease in factory inventories and outlays, major decreases in orders, major decreases in sales volume, increases in factory shutdowns across the country, and unprecedented levels of real poverty being experienced, witnessed, and yet see all of these as the great unreported stories of our day?

When did you ever think you’d see the Number of Americans NOT in labor force rise to record 88 million...?

When did you ever think you’d see the growth and explosion of Americans on Food Stamps by a whopping 70%?

And when have you ever seen over seventeen million long term unemployed statistically disregarded by this government as though they ceased to exist with their last extended unemployment check – the so-called 99ers, because they have reached and long passed the ninety-nine week of their unemployment?

When did you ever witness tens of millions of jobs being outsourced without the creation of enough jobs to cover the flight of large companies and corporations overseas?

When did you ever see a president dictate to a private business entity how it must conduct its business, and a stroke of his pen close thousands of car dealerships across the country while granting his favor to a preselected few who it has been discovered were campaign donors of his in those districts?

Why did the Federal Reserve use hundreds of billions of our currency to bankroll the Europeans without the consent of the American electorate?

When did you ever see economist predict that within less than thirty years, at the current rate, America would be a debt of 415 percent of GDP?

And that 60 percent of the world’s economies would be downgraded to “junk” status by 2060?

You doubt this? Look it up yourselves.

When did you ever see the creation and growth a monopoly system that gravitates towards power consolidation that also spawn pockets of wealthy industries and large monopolies that tower over small businesses regardless of utility, where top hedge fund managers “earn” over three hundred million dollars a year for contributing literally nothing?

And they call this Free Market Capitalism?

When could you have ever conceived that there would be something known as a “derivatives market” and that this “market” would increase to over six hundred trillion dollars – far surpassing the entire real wealth of the world, and that this “market” was about to implode, and when it does, it will take the entire planet down a sink hole that even its creators will fall into?

When did you ever consider that this manufactured debt with its derivatives market would take such hold on the human race that it would result in accelerating poverty, austerity measures, chronic long term unemployment and under-employment, schools shutting down, child hunger and malnutrition – I don’t mean ‘cheap’ fast food, and other levels of familial depravation – the result of the elaborate fiction of wealth and debt – a means of manipulating great populations?

When did we ever see a sitting president spend almost his entire first term campaigning and raising money for political causes while the nation suffered deep recession which his mismanagement has turned into a Depression of Global proportions, because it now has hit Europe and the world?

When did you ever hear that only a single percent of the world’s population – the elite – own more than forty percent of the world’s wealth?

And though they hold such wealth, with every passing year, more people die of hunger and disease around the world than at any time in history, even with the so-called “charitable work” these elites conduct yearly, which it has been discovered is nothing but a ponzie scheme to siphon more wealth and consolidate more power unto themselves free of taxation and regulation, which the rest of US must be under?

When did you ever see the outright “loss” of forty billion dollars of private funds by one of this administration’s biggest money bundlers, and yet see this person completely exonerated without even so much as a trial for larceny and criminal misconduct? When did you ever see an administration spend nearly four times the amount of money it “officially” reported?

When? When did you ever witness a presidency that spent the equivalent of $42,054 per household in one year?

When did you ever see a president who partied as hard and as much as this one as tens of millions languished and suffered the crushing economic collapse, and the job loss, loss of income, loss of their homes, loss of their possessions, and unable to find work, because the jobs that were available have all been outsourced to other nations through economic agreements this president set behind closed doors in private boardrooms with the nation’s top executives?

When did you ever see over four hundred thousand people losing their jobs every month, as they have ever since this president took office?

When did you ever think you’d see people chronically unemployed for long and extended periods of time – years – no longer counted by this government as though they never existed?

When did you ever think that the nation would go through the 40th straight deficit month...?

When did you ever see or even think you’d see a sitting US president misuse federal power against the US Constitution to force private institutions attached to religious institutions to observe and enforce policies which run contrary to its religious convictions?

When did you ever see a sitting president involve himself in local matters as this one has when one or more of the protagonists is/are black?

When did you ever think you’d see the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security recalibrate their policy and redefine it to define returning veterans, patriots, conservatives, and others like them as “potential enemies of the state”?

When did you ever think you’d see an administration that sues and arrests state and local officials for upholding the nation’s own immigration laws which this administration is unwilling to observe?

When did you ever think you’d see a US president giving your tax dollars and my tax dollars away to the UN to be used in grants to illegal African immigrants into Israel who are opening businesses there while Israeli are closing their businesses in record levels?

When did you ever think you’d see a sitting incumbent president so desperate to add votes to win reelection for himself that he will redefine by executive order the status of illegal undocumented foreigners within our border to grant them the vote against every law of this land, as this president has?

When did you ever think you’d see an administration remove five hundred billion dollars from Medicare which seniors, the retired, and the disabled need; to fund a so-called healthcare program codified in over two thousand pages of legal documents, voted for behind backroom deals and bribery, and all sorts of persuasion because no thinking elected official would have voted for such a monstrosity into law, because first it was undercutting Medicare by half a trillion dollars, and second, by its very nature, it has nothing to do with true health reform, but control – un-Constitutional federal control over the choice of every citizen?

When did you ever witness an administration that as prices skyrocketed for food and fuel because of rising inflation due to the devaluing dollar; sucker punch the average citizen struggling to pay their electric bill by effectively closing down over forty percent of the nation’s coal fired plants through stifling and unrealistic regulation that he promised he would do years ago during an interview he gave in which he promised to bankrupt the coal industry and shut it down?

When have you ever seen or heard a president blame everyone but himself for the policy failures, misguided or lame brained ideological ideas that have exacerbated the pain of an already suffering nation?

When did you ever witness the media, politicians, and this government turn against the faith and religious convictions of anyone in our nation as they are currently doing today against Tim Tebow’s faith?

When have you ever heard a president use envy to turn one citizen against another in blaming others than himself for the suffering he knows he has caused due to his fiscal and social policies that he has beset on this hapless nation?

When have you ever heard a sitting president ask for more and more money to spend on causes in failed businesses that he was warned prior to about with wanton disregard?

When have you ever seen tent cities spring up across the nation as they have the last three years under this president?

When have you ever witnessed almost all news outlets become nothing more than mouthpieces of an administration in office, where its reporters on queue present the talking points the White House gives them daily to their shame?

When have you ever witnessed such use and manipulation of the news media for political gain?

Remember Germany, the Soviet Union?
Red China?
Cuba?
North Korea?
Viet Nam?
Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela?
Eastern Europe during the height of the Cold War when it lied imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain?
The Arab nations?
The Islamic Republic of Iran?
And every tin pot dictatorship that has marred the human landscape since the dawn of the nation state?

When have you ever seen such corruption in government that the Department of Justice and the nation’s Attorney General and other organs of government under this president have become nothing better than gun runners into Mexico and the power behind the drug cartels south of our borders?

When did you ever see an administration abridge the Constitutional rights of its citizens to own fire arms while illegally conducting a false flag operation to confiscate every fire arm in America from its citizens?

When have you ever seen a sitting president work so hard as this one has to accord foreign terrorists rights that it wishes to remove from its own citizens?

When did you ever see a candidate for president who has never been properly vetted by the press or by government, run for office and win the election for president?

When did you ever see or hear a press so quick to ridicule anyone who demands that this president be vetted like any other?

When did you ever witness civilian arms of our government taking on paramilitary roles with increased frequency, as armed swat teams have invaded businesses and homes, and in some cases, killed those inside in this country?

When in your lives did you ever believe that a sitting president would sign into law the rights of the American electorate as this one did on December 31st, 2011 the NDAA – National Defense Authorization Agreement – which effectively gives carte blanche to the federal government to use the US military and other organs of the growing police state to detain at will any American citizen without trial for as long as it deems fit in the name of “national security”?

When did you ever think you’d see armed drones over US skies which this government has said it would use against its own citizens “if necessary”?

When did you ever hear a sitting Secretary of Defense say to a congressional panel that this administration and the nation’s military do not need congress’ permission to conduct military operations overseas?

That it gets its authority from the United Nations? When did you ever hear that this nation’s presidential elections would be handled by a foreign nation’s voting machinery and supervised by a foreign entity in Spain, as they are going to do this November?

Have you ever seen such things, or heard of such things, or ever witnessed such things, or directly or indirectly been affected in some way by any of what we have discussed and inquired about above?

It doesn’t end there. When have you ever witnessed a sitting US president redefine marriage to mean something other than what it has meant since the dawn of man?

When have you ever seen a leader of a nation that is the leader of nations, declare a redefinition of marriage to mean something other than the union between opposite sexes?

This president has gone beyond the pale – for he has made a public declaration that no leader or ruler of any nation, or empire, or confederation has ever made.

This is the first and only time in the history of the human race that a leader of a leading world power of that period has publicly endorsed an alternative deviant lifestyle to define the union between two people which since the dawn of man, has been between a man and a woman.

When have you ever seen a sitting US president boldly declare that this nation is not a Christian nation?

I can keep asking many more questions along these lines, but you understand what I mean just by the ones I ask.

I never dreamed that I’d ever be asking any of these about a sitting US president, but here I am and it is 2012, and I am asking them.

I have never witnessed such a disregard of our Constitution and of the basic decency of accountability in government by a sitting US president.

No one should be above the law, but this president and those whom he has around him thinks they are.

In fact, there is such lawlessness that in the coming weeks and months the nation will be stunned by the level of corruption and extent of criminal behavior currently happening inside this White House with the tacit approval and direction of this president.

Some of it is on a level so great, involving so many organs of our government, with so many financial institutions, governments, and criminal enterprises across the world that it staggers the imagination. It is literally unspeakable.

The administration that promised to be transparent is full of all manner of subterfuge and misinformation.

Everything this president promised to be, he has become its very opposite, and he is now the emperor, who the nation thought was fully clothed, but upon seeing for the first time in the light of truth; has no clothes.

There is not a single federal, state, or local agency of government that has not been affected by this corruption.

The corruption is so vast and so great and covers so many levels of our government – with so many elected and non-elected officials – involved in some way; that were the American people to know the full extent of it, it would strike fear in their hearts – because it is greater than anything the American people have witnessed before.

And this man has the audacity to run for reelection and expect that with his vast network of trade unions, front groups, political action committees, Super PACs, choke hold on the DNC through bribery of the only rivals powerful enough to unseat him – the Clintons – far left front groups, communist community organizations in every major city, the Hollywood rich and elites, the media elites, the global banking interests of billionaires, and dozens of other groups funded by socialist billionaire George Soros; all of these will secure enough phantom votes in the greatest voter fraud in the history of this country to give this man another four years in the Oval Office?

How far do you have to walk down this road, America, to where you’ve decided you’ve had enough?

At times like these, it is of the upmost importance to open the Holy Book – the Eternal Scriptures – and to allow G-d to speak to US from them to gain understanding and insight, that we may do what is right in His sight and not commit ourselves and this nation to destruction because of our foolish ways.

When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him forsook the law of the LORD.

And it came about in King Rehoboam’s fifth year, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen.

And the people who came with him from Egypt were without number: the Lubim, the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians.

He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.

Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “Thus says the LORD, ‘You have forsaken Me, so I also have forsaken you to Shishak.’”

So the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is righteous.”

When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves so I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some measure of deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak. But they will become his slaves so that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

Plunder Impoverishes Judah So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s palace.

He took everything; he even took the golden shields which Solomon had made. Then King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and committed them to the care of the commanders of the guard who guarded the door of the king’s house.

As often as the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards came and carried them and then brought them back into the guards’ room. And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and also conditions were good in Judah.

So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. He did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.

2Chronicles 12:1-14

If My People America was a powerful nation, America was a proud nation, but America loss both its financial supremacy and its military superiority when it forsook G-d.

It began in to do this when its religious leaders allowed the politicians to dictate to it and to them the terms of their tax exempt status.

They compromised with evil and evil has been removing our liberties piece by piece since that day in 1954 when Senator Lyndon Johnson introduced his legislation and had it pass and signed into law which redefined the IRS Tax Law to remove the tax exempt status of religious institutions if they involved themselves in political/moral matters or endorsed political candidates.

Since the day that legislation became law, we have seen prayer removed from our public schools, the so-called sexual revolution, the so-called women’s movement NOW (a DNC front group), the homosexual, gay-lesbians, transsexual, transgender movements, so-called pro-choice abortion rights movements (DNC front groups), the Supreme Court landmark decision of Roe v. Wade that has resulted in the death of over forty-five million babies by abortion across this land since that decision, skyrocketing crime in our cities, assaults, rapes, stabbings and shootings in our public schools, the explosion of gang activity throughout the country even in neighborhoods where they did not exist before, corruption reach to the highest levels of our government, a president who had to resign and another who was impeached by the US House of Representatives, the rise of personal bankruptcies across the country and with it the collapse of the housing market with the greatest number of foreclosures in our nation’s history – even beyond the levels seen during the Great Depression of the Thirties, the greatest acts of larceny by public officials with private mega bankers where the life savings of millions of people were wiped out overnight and the greatest transfer of wealth in human history took place right under our noses as our elected officials voted to move unprecedented amounts of tax payer money into the private equity firms of the world’s elites, and more and more……

We must turn, we must ask our G-d to grant US the forgiveness we as a nation and as a people do not deserve, that He would to hold back His judgment and remove the godless leadership from our midst.

We must turn, turn away from our wicked, wicked ways and turn to Him and call upon His name.

Who do we think we are that by some sophistry of reason we deem ourselves above humbling ourselves before the Providence of G-d, to ask His forgiveness so that He would help US bring this nation back from the brink of disaster and calamity, and restore to US our nation – indeed restore US to His favor.

G-d has made a promise to His people – to the Christians and Jews of this nation – that if we humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways and turn to Him, He will heal our land, restore our nation to US, and remove His judgment from US:

“My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

2Chronicles 7:14

“Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.”

Acts 3:19-21

Do you believe that G-d is speaking to every American? He is not. He is speaking to His people among the American people – the communities and peoples of faith – Jews and Christians – Protestants and Catholics – to repent.

We must. Do not expect the godless and those who do not reverence G-d to humble themselves because to be able to do so entails an acknowledgement of G-d on a very deep and very personal level.

My fellow Americans, I beg you; please do not misunderstand me – I am not calling you to be more religious – but to turn to G-d and call upon His name for our nation, for our leaders, for ourselves, for our families, for our friends, for our communities, and ask Him to heal US, to restore US, to forgive our trespasses and transgressions of His most sacred Laws, and to bring to US a renewal and revival.

If the people of G-d have not moved in this way, what will we see of those who do not believe?

Like the ancient people of Nineveh, we too can avoid judgment and avert disaster. We must. If we fail to do so, countless number of people of faith who have walked with G-d before US will someday rise up and count US unworthy because we were called to an hour such as this and did nothing!

WHAT DID PRE-RABBINIC JUDAISM SAY ABOUT THE MESSIAH?

“WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR MESSAGE? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED

FOR HE GREW UP BEFORE HIM LIKE A TENDER SHOOT, AND LIKE A ROOT OUT OF PARCHED GROUND; HE HAS NO STATELY FORM OR MAJESTY THAT WE SHOULD LOOK UPON HIM, NOR APPEARANCE THAT WE SHOULD BE ATTRACTED TO HIM, HE WAS DESPISED AND FORSAKEN OF MEN, A MAN OF SORROWS AND ACAUAINTED WITH GRIEF; AND LIKE ONE FROM WHOM MEN HIDE THEIR FACE, HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE DID NOT ESTEEM HIM.

SURELY OUR GRIEFS HE HIMSELF BORE, AND OUR SORROWS HE CARRIED; YET WE OURSELVES ESTEEMED HIM STRICKEN, SMITTEN OF GOD, AND AFFLICTED.

BUT HE WAS PIERCED THROUGH FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTENING FOR OUR WELL-BEING FELL UPON HIM, AND BY HIS SCOURGING WE ARE HEALED.

ALL OF US LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY, EACH OF US HAS TURNED TO HIS OWN WAY; BUT THE LORD HAS CAUSED THE INIQUITY OF US ALL TO FALL ON HIM.

HE WAS OPPRESSED AND HE WAS AFFLICTED, YET HE DID NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH; LIKE A LAMB THAT IS LED TO SLAUGHTER, AND LIKE A SHEEP THAT IS SILENT BEFORE ITS SHEARERS, SO HE DID NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.

BY OPPRESSION AND JUDGMENT HE WAS TAKEN AWAY; AND AS FOR HIS GENERATION, WHO CONSIDERED THAT HE WAS CUT OFF OUT OF THE LAND OF THE LIVING, FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF MY PEOPLE TO WHOM THE STROKE WAS DUE?

HIS GRAVE WAS ASSIGNED WITH WICKED MEN, YET HE HAD DONE NO VIOLENCE, NOR WAS THERE ANY DECEIT IN HIS MOUTH.

BUT THE LORD WAS PLEASED TO CRUSH HIM, PUTTING HIM TO GRIEF; IF HE WOULD RENDER HIMSELF AS A GUILT OFFERING, HE WILL SEE HIS OFFSPRING, HE WILL PROLONG HIS DAYS, AND THE GOOD PLEASURE OF THE LORD WILL PROSPER IN HIS HAND.

AS A RESULT OF THE ANGUISH OF HIS SOUL, HE WILL SEE IT AND BE SATISFIED; BY HIS KNOWLEDGE THE RIGHTEOUS ONE, MY SERVANT, WILL JUSTIFY THE MANY, AS HE WILL BEAR THEIR INIQUITIES.

THEREFORE, I WILL ALLOT HIM A PORTION WITH THE GREAT, AND HE WILL DIVIDE THE BOOTY WITH THE STRONG; BECAUSE HE POURED OUT HIMSELF TO DEATH, AND WAS NUMBERED WITH THE TRANSGRESSORS; YET HE HIMSELF BORE THE SIN OF MANY, AND INTERCEDED FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS.”

It is not in the scope of this work to expound the above passage from Isaiah, but if the reader wishes to study and explore this theme, the author recommends the following; Christology of the Targums.

The Targums have preserved for us how ancient Israel interpreted the role of the Messiah.

And subsequent writings by the rabbis preserve for us how Judaism viewed these Messianic texts before the advent of Christianity.

It was incomplete, it was imperfect, yet it was much more an accurate portrait of Him than what is said of Him by today’s Judaism.

Take for example, the following Targum with regards to the prophetic Scriptures cited above:

“AND FROM BEFORE THE LORD IT WAS HIS PLEASURE TO PROVE AND PURIFY THE REMNANT OF HIS PEOPLE, IN ORDER TO CLEANSE THEIR SOULS FROM THEIR SINS; THEY SHALL LOOK UPON THE KINGDOM OF THEIR MESSIAH, BOTH SONS AND DAUGHTERS SHALL BE MULTIPLIED, THEY SHALL PROLONG [THEIR] DAYS, AND THE DOERS OF THE LAW OF THE LORD SHALL PROSPER IN HIS GOOD PLEASURE.”

It is interesting to note that the passage of Isaiah’s fifty-third chapter and tenth verse would be related to Messiah, and that the Jewish people’s sufferings would mirror that of Messiah’s suffering as Isaiah so vividly describes in that chapter, and that this suffering would both temper and prepare them for Messiah’s coming, so that when He would appear, they would be of such mind and spirit as to keep and observe the Torah, and enjoy not just a good and long life, but prosperity, growing from a small remnant into a great multitude comprising a righteous nation, and Messiah would usher them into life eternal in His kingdom.

This is both inferred from the above Targum and borne out by Isaiah’s passage when read in its entirety, and interpreted within its proper context, because it is clear that it refers to no other than to King Messiah.

In the Targum Jonathan, we have the following:

“BEHOLD MY SERVANT MESSIAH SHALL PROSPER; HE SHALL BE HIGH, AND INCREASE, AND BE EXCEEDINGLY STRONG; AS THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL LOOKED UPON HIM THROUGH MANY DAYS, BECAUASE THEIR COUNTENANCE WAS DARKENED AMONG THE PEOPLES, AND THEIR COMPLEXION BEYOND THE SONS OF MEN.”

And an incredible passage from Eleazar Ha Kalir from the Machsor, we have this most incredible quote:

“OUR RIGHTEOUS MESSIAH IS DEPARTED FROM US: HORROR HATH SEIZED US, AND WE HAVE NONE TO JUSTIFY US. HE HATH BORNE THE YOKE OF OUR INIQUITIES AND OUR TRANSGRESSION, AND IS WOUNDED BECAUSE OF OUR TRANSGRESSION. HE BEARETH OUR SINS ON HIS SHOULDER, THAT HE MAY FIND PARDON FOR OUR INIQUITIES. WE SHALL BE HEALED BY HIS WOUND, AT THE TIME THAT THE ETERNAL WILL CREATE HIM [THE MESSIAH] AS A NEW CREATURE.”

Several things stand out in the above caption:

I. The Messiah has come and departed from Israel.

II. Horror has seized the nation of Israel, because without Him, there is no justification.

III. Messiah has borne the collective sins of Israel, so that it may find forgiveness for its sins.

IV. Through His suffering and His wounds, Israel will be healed and made whole.

V. The Messiah will return anew in His resurrected state, thus the term “A NEW CREATURE.”

If one did not know it, one would think that what he/she were reading was a Christian pamphlet, and not reading from a non-Christian source.

From the Book of Zohar we read:

“In the hour in which they tell the Messiah about the sufferings of Israel in exile, and about the sinful among them who seek not the knowledge of their Master, the Messiah lifts up his voice and weeps over the sinful among them.
This is what is written: He was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities. Those souls then return to their places. In the Garden of Eden there is a Hall which is called the Hall of the Sons of Illness. The Messiah enters that Hall and summons all the disease and all the pains and all the suffering of Israel that they should come upon him, and all of them come upon him.”

Again, we read that even as late as the fourteenth century, there were rabbis who understood the true meaning of this passage of Isaiah as referring to the Messiah, as Rabbi Moshen Koehn Ibn Crispin of Cordoba, Spain wrote in response to Rashi’s interpretation:

“This passage, the commentators explain, speaks of the captivity of Israel, although the singular number is used in it throughout.

Others have supposed it to mean the just in the present world, who are crushed and oppressed now...but these, too, for the same reason, by altering the number, distort the verses from the natural meaning.

And then it seems to me that...having forsaken the knowledge of our teachers, and inclined "after the stubbornness of their own hearts," and of their own opinion, I am pleased to interpret it, in accordance with the teaching of our Rabbis, of King Messiah.”

As late as the 16th century of our common era, there were rabbis who understood this passage of Isaiah to be speaking of non one but King Messiah.

We read the following:

“I may remark, then, that our Rabbis of blessed memory with one voice accept and affirm the opinion that the prophet [Isaiah] is speaking of the King Messiah.”

A good point is made by Jewish educator Herz Homberg in the following statement on Rashi and the rabbis reinterpretation of Isaiah:

“According to the opinion of Rashi and Ibn Ezra, it relates to Israel at the end of their captivity. But if so, what can be the meaning of the passage, "He was wounded for our transgressions"? Who was wounded? Who are the transgressors? Who carried out the sickness and bare the pain? The fact is that it refers to the King Messiah.”

Thus, we see that any other interpretation of Isaiah is of a later time and a reaction to Roman Catholic and Anti-Semitic persecution and the misuse and application of God’s Word with regards to the Jewish people.

We will examine some of the abuses visited upon the Jewish people in future chapters of this study.

Isaiah spoke of only One Person whom history has recorded for us in the writings of the New Testament, faithfully written and transcribed through the centuries by reverent scribes, the number of which surpasses all other ancient manuscripts extant.

This was not by chance, this was by divine Providence.

What’s more, in the Twenty-Second Psalm, King David writes prophetically describing graphically an execution, but was is astonishing is that he writes it in the first person, as if it were happening to him.

Yet historians know that what David describes in the first person did not happen to him or his son Solomon.

Another problem is that the mode of execution he is describing prophetically as happening to him did not come into being until centuries later.

The mode of execution David was writing about was crucifixion, and it was established by the Romans against subjects under their control who were not citizens of Rome.

We follow the text in its entirety:

MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME? FOR FROM MY DELIVERANCE ARE THE WORDS OF MY GROANING.

O MY GOD, I CRY BY DAY, BUT THOU DOST NOT ANSWER; AND BY NIGHT, BUT I HAVE NO REST.

According to the historical records, theses words were shouted by Jesus as He hung on the Roman cross.

And when some of those present heard Him, they thought He was calling for the prophet Elijah, because the Aramaic word Eli sounds similar to the name.

BUT I AM A WORM, AND NOT A MAN, A REPROACH OF MEN, AND DESPISED BY THE PEOPLE.

ALL WHO SEE ME SNEER AT ME; THEY SEPARATE WITH THE LIP, THEY WAG THE HEAD, SAYING, “COMMIT YOURSELF TO THE LORD; LET HIM DELIVER HIM; LET HIM RESCUE HIM, BECAUSE HE DELIGHTS IN HIM.”

Again, David writes prophetically of a man who is mistreated and crushed like a worm, reproached by men and despised by the people.

The term is interesting, because in it, David describes this man as despised by his people, Israel.

The Person David describes is One whom the people would despise as He hung on the cross, while those present would hurl abuse at Him, mockingly saying,“Commit yourself to the Lord. Let Him deliver Him. Let Him rescue Him, because He delights in Him!”

This is precisely what occurred to Jesus as He suffered on the cross, and is preserved for us in the Gospel accounts.

What David writes is not a Christian invention, he wrote about it centuries before the events it depicts took place, and it was witnessed by a many people who saw these things for themselves, some of whom wrote about them in the Gospels.

YET THOU ART HE WHO DIDST BRING ME FORTH FROM THE WOMB; THOU DIDST MAKE ME TRUST WHEN UPON MY MOTHER’S BREASTS.

UPON THEE I WAS CAST FROM BIRTH; THOU HAST BEEN MY GOD FROM MY MOTHER’S WOMB.

BE NOT FAR FROM ME, FOR TROUBLE IS NEAR; FOR THERE IS NONE TO HELP. MANY BULLS HAVE SURROUNDED ME; STRONG BULLS OF BASHAN HAVE ENCIRCLED ME.

THEY OPEN WIDE THEIR MOUTH AT ME.

AS A RAVENING AND A ROARING LION.

I AM POURED OUT LIKE WATER, AND ALL MY BONES OUT OF JOINT; MY HEART IS LIKE WAX; IT IS MELTED WITHIN ME. MY STRENGTH IS DRIED UP LIKE A POTSHERD.

AND MY TONGUE CLEAVES TO MY JAWS; AND THOU DOST LAY ME IN THE DUST OF DEATH.

FOR DOGS HAVE SURROUNDED ME; A BAND OF EVILDOERS HAS ENCOMPASSED ME; THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET.

I CAN COUNT ALL MY BONES.

THEY LOOK, THEY STARE AT ME; THEY DIVIDE MY GARMENTS AMONG THEM.

AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS.

Again, David, writing in the first person, describes graphically a man who is wasted away, exhausted and near death, emaciated, dehydrated, whose life is draining with every drop of blood that He bleeds as He hangs on that cross.

The description is accurate and illustrates for the reader the suffering the Messianic Character would undergo.

The details are described precisely in the Gospel accounts, even down to the fact that lots were casted for Messiah’s garments.

BUT THOU, O LORD, BE NOT FAR OFF; O THOU MY HELP, HASTEN TO MY ASSISTANCE.

DELIVER MY SOUL FROM THE SWORD, MY ONLY LIFE FROM THE POWER OF THE DOG.

SAVE ME FROM THE LION’S MOUTH; AND FROM THE HORNS OF THE WILD OXEN THOU DOST ANSWER ME.

I WILL TELL OF THY NAME TO MY BRETHREN; IN THE MIDST OF THE ASSEMBLY I WILL PRAISE THEE.

YOU WHO FEAR THE LORD, PRAISE HIM; ALL YOU DESCENDANTS OF JACOB, GLORIFY HIM; AND STAND IN AWE OF HIM, ALL YOU DESCENDANTS OF ISRAEL.

FOR HE HAS NOT DESPISED NOR ABHORRED THE AFFLICTION OF THE AFFLICTED; NIETHER HAS HE HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM HIM; BUT WHEN HE CRIED TO HIM FOR HELP, HE HEARD.

FROM THEE COMES MY PRAISE IN THE GREAT ASSEMBLY; I SHALL PAY MY VOWS BEFORE THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

THE AFFLICTED SHALL EAT AND BE SATISFIED; THOSE WHO SEEK HIM WILL PRAISE THE LORD.

LET YOUR HEART LIVE FOREVER!

ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH WILL REMEMBER AND TURN TO THE LORD, AND ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE NATIONS WILL WORSHIP BEFORE THEE.

FOR THE KINGDOM IS THE LORD’S.

AND HE RULES OVER THE NATIONS. ALL THE PROSPEROUS OF THE EARTH WILL EAT AND WORSHIP, ALL THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE DUST WILL BOW BEFORE HIM. EVEN HE WHO CANNOT KEEP HIS SOUL ALIVE.

POSTERITY WILL SERVE HIM; IT WILL BE TOLD OF THE LORD TO THE COMING GENERATION.

THEY WILL COME AND WILL DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO A PEOPLE WHO WILL BE BORN, THAT HE HAS PERFORMED IT.

There is only one Jewish religious figure who has emerged from history who suffered in the exact manner which King David wrote about centuries before.

I is impossible for the Twenty-Second Psalm to have been a Christian invention, since it was written, read, and recited centuries before the events recorded in the Gospel accounts.

As for the Gospel writers inventing these out of thin air, adapting David’s Psalm to fit the events they wrote about, that also is unlikely, because David did not write this Psalm to suit Jewish writers centuries later, nor were these men going to write and distribute accounts of events which didn’t take place as they described them, because the people who witnessed these events and those who partook in them could both be summoned to either corroborate or deny them.

The fact that there is not one recorded instance of any of these being denied by any of its participants in itself is evidence of their veracity and historical integrity.

King David was a prophet, and under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit he composed prophetic Psalms which depicted precisely the execution, suffering, and death of the Messiah as it happened centuries later outside the walls of Jerusalem.

And there was no way that one man or His followers could have manipulated people, events, and everything related to them to fit so precisely the descriptions David writes about, and which came to pass on Nisan 13 in the year of either 33 or 36 of our Common Era.

The more this is studied the more one must conclude the Messiah died a brutal and inhuman death, and this was graphically described in the prophetic Psalm which King David wrote centuries before under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit; for without the events which the Gospels record so well for us, the prophetic Psalm composed centuries before by King David would be meaningless by itself, and unfulfilled.

End Game: the Legacy of Obama's Middle East Policy

There is no doubt in most people’s minds that we have the wrong people directing our ship of state, and that the trajectory we have been heading for years now, is the wrong one. It is becoming increasingly evident that if we continue down this road, we will end in disaster. Already across the Middle East, we are seeing disaster after disaster, with Al Qaeda heading the government in Libya, and the Muslim Brotherhood spreading revolution from one nation to the other. Along with Libya, Egypt has fallen, and so has Tunisia, Morocco; with Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and others not far from dropping like overripe fruit. For three years, teams of State Department operatives working in tandem with Soros funded organizations and the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al Qaeda; have fomented revolution to promote Obama’s brand of “democracy,” which is defined as replacing “friendly” governments like Hosni Mubarak and the House of Saud with more “democratic” governments inclusive of such groups as the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda – after all – the aim is to bring true “democracy” to the Middle East with “true pluralism” that will allow the inclusion of all these groups and bring “diversity” to the region. It is believed by the Obama Administration that this type of “diversity” will bring “stability” to the region, and allow the “peace process” between these nations and Israel to continue to develop unabated. The problem that those with this view are encountering is that this “democracy” that is bringing all of these groups to power in the region is having the opposite effect – the organizations do not want to share power, and their hatred for the Jewish State is so great that nations such as Egypt under Mubarak that enjoyed peaceful bilateral relations with Israel, are now calling for the suspension of the treaties and ties that fostered such relations. Another problem that Obama’s vision is encountering with the Middle East is that rather than promote “democracy” across the region, the opposite is what is occurring. Groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, and others do not want to share power with smaller less organized opposition groups. What’s more, as Islamists continue to cement their control over these governments, minorities such as Christians and Jews, and smaller Muslim groups are being openly persecuted, and blood is flowing in the streets, something that the promoters of Obama’s “democracy and pluralism” were not expecting, though some believe this is precisely what they wanted in order to bring about “fundamental change” to the region. The “fundamental change” is destabilizing country after country, as the new groups of radicals are not bound by treaties and agreements that former governments observed, and in fact are opposed to such arrangements – for example, Post-Mubarak Egypt with Israel. The only certainty that this “democratic pluralism” of Islamic and Islamist groups can bring to the region and adjacent regions that border the Middle East, is destabilization, “fundamental change” from one form of government, “transitioning” to governments more amenable to the establishment of Islamic Sharia Law, Muslim control and hegemony over the region over all other forms of government, “finalizing” in the establishment of a huge Caliphate encompassing all of the nations of the former Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, the Babylonian Empire; that will spread the sword and the scimitar of radical Islam to the surrounding regions, as it moves to all points on the compass across vast distant lands, over water and into the very heart of Europe and the Americas. What we are seeing is the dream of “hope and change” at work in a Middle East Policy that will prove to be to the Establishment New World Order the most horrific manifestation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein imaginable. The monster that the New World Order has created in Obama’s foreign Middle East Policy Objectives will, once it has established its beachhead along the European continent to the West and along the Chinese Border to the East, and across the vast African Continent to the South; will turn on its Masters and bring untold chaos and bloodshed to the very shores of the North and South American Continents, as it attempts to complete and finalize its centuries-long conquest of the West. We can thank President Obama’s Middle East Policy Objectives for creating, promoting, establishing, and spreading this “transition to real fundamental change” of the “existing order” into the “new world order” of his masters’ making.
