“…which say they are jews”  Revelation 2:9; 3:9

(2 Corinthians 11).  In our previous Lesson, Both Good and Evil, we learned how to learn to “have our senses exercised to discern both good and evil”! We began with 2 Corinthians at 11:3: 

In the Books of Matthew unto Revelation alone, there are 13 Commands from both Christ and angels, “Fear not”. Perhaps the best known, among those of The Gospel of the Kingdom, we find in Luke 12:32, “Fear not little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” What question does this bring to bear?! 

Why does the Apostle Paul seem to make an exception here? The Koine Greek verb “I fear” is the translation of G5399 phobeo, fob-eh’-o; to frighten, (passively) to be alarmed: - be (+ sore) afraid, fear (exceedingly). Would this mean that Paul was alarmed[!] that our “minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ”?!

Scripture Reading:  1 Samuel 24:1

From these words of the Scriptural reading, we gather that Saul had been successful in turning back the invading Philistines. This illustrates a principle which is often lost sight of: human success is no proof of divine approbation. The mere fact that a man is prospering outwardly, does not, of itself, demonstrate that his life is pleasing unto the Lord. Only an infidel would deny that it was God who enabled Saul to clear his land of the Philistines, yet we err seriously if we conclude from this that He delighted in him. 

1Samuel 24:2:

“Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.”

Saul had been providentially blocked while pursuing David, by the invading Philistines; but now, as soon as this hindrance by the invading Philistines was removed, he redoubles his evil efforts. One would think that the very invasion of the Philistines changed Saul’s attitude toward the one whom he was so causelessly and relentlessly pursuing. Ought he not to have realized now, more forcible than ever, that he needed David at the head of his army to repulse the common enemy? Very few people thrive as well in times of prosperity as they do in seasons of adversity.

(2 Corinthians 11). This Lesson is sponsored by Section 292 of a Continuing Resolution passed by The House of Representatives, to which they attached a weak version of the Save America Act, just before they lammed out of Washington, District of Criminals, for August 2026 recess!!! (Is recess for children?) Section 292 (as it currently reads before Senate consideration) wrests Command of the Armed Forces of the United States from The Office of the President by placing an Executive in the Pentagon to combine the Intelligence Operations of American Agencies with the Israeli Mossad to make America the vassal state of Israeli. Section 292 appears to be the brainchild of the Prime Minister of Israeli, Netanyahu, and empowers an unconstitutional end run around the duly elected President of the United States !  If anybody within the sound of my voice disagrees with my take on Section 292, please bring your copy of Section 292 to me to show me the error of my ways.  Make sure it is the 1st copy passed by the House before August 2026 recess. As the OUTRIGHT RESCUE of Jesus Christ the Righteous I am honor bound to give you a complete hearing. Second Corinthians, chapter eleven, has part of one of the greatest themes of our Bibles.  This theme is typically ignored!

Scripture Reading:Psalm 52:1-9

This Psalm, Psalm 52, is about Doeg and what he said to Saul about David’s visit to Nob. Saul had just criticized his Benjaminite servants that they had conspired against him when Doeg, the Edomite, answered him.

Who is an Edomite? It is a descendant of Esau. What is a descendant of Esau doing making comments, or even being in the army of the descendants of Jacob? Doeg served King Saul as the chief of his herdsmen. The Bible does not explicitly state how a foreigner (stranger) and an enemy from Edom joined Saul’s royal staff. But most historians and scholars suggest Doeg may have been taken as a captive during Israel’s military campaign against Edom or entered service as a political ally or high-ranking servant.

Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 22:2

Who were these four hundred men who were either in (1) distress, or (2) in debt, or (3) were discontented? Who did they gather themselves to? It doesn’t sound like they would be a good group to have working in your company, or living in your neighborhood, or fighting in the foxhole on your side, or being your friends or acquaintances. But in the previous verse it adds another characteristic of this group: his father’s house and his brethren.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 2 Chronicles 7:14

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

Who are God’s people, and what does it mean to be called by God’s name? What saith the Scriptures?

Deu 32:9 For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

Ps 147:19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they [other races] have not known them.

Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

Isa 46:3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

Isa 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Are not all of these racist statements? Of course they are. One should also read Ezra chapters 9-10 when it was discovered that many of Israel married “strange wives.” The Israelites had to prove their identity.

Scripture Reading:  Deuteronomy 28:43, 44:

43) “The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

44) He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.”

Who shall be the head or the leader? Who shall be the tail or the follower? Deuteronomy, chapter 28 tells of what will happen if Israel fails to hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which he commanded thee.

When Israel does this, they are going to be ruled by people who are not their own kind, i.e. foreigners. They will be at the bottom of the rung. 

Now, is Israel keeping the law of God or have they not been keeping His commandments and His statutes? It is my opinion that Israel doesn’t even know who they come from. They are ignorant that they are descendants of Jacob and are recipients of the Abrahamic covenant.

Scripture Reading:  Joshua 24:20:  “If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after He hath done you good.”

We are trying in this series to show who are the modern-day descendants of Esau. In fact, when I asked a Christian Zionist debater, who he thought the Jews said were the people descended from Esau, he answered, “He didn’t know and didn’t care.” I think that is the attitude of most people in the world today. He was unaware that the Jews say that the modern-day descendants of Esau are Rome, the Europeans, and Christians. And that would include him, wouldn’t it?

Look at what Burton L. Visotzky, Nathan and Janet Appleman Professor Emeritus of Midrash and interreligious studies surmise:

Is Jesus doing His Good Works through us while we await The Redemption of our Bodies? Is the Indwelling of The Holy Spirit, giving us The Birth from above, the down payment for The Redemption of our Bodies? Does there appear to be 2 Obstacles obstructing us from entering into His Rest? Do Unbelief and Failure to Cease from our own works cause any of our countries to “seem to come short ... of a promise being left us of entering into his rest”?  Have we all been working too hard?!

SCRIPTURE READING: Luke 10:18, ISV,

“I watched Satan falling from heaven like lightning.”

This is the continuation from Part 1 of the Doctrine of Satan. Those in Christian Identity who do not believe Satan is a real entity, but only a personification of an abstract idea (such as the sin nature), may accuse me of believing what the Judeo mainstream churches believe. That may very well be true; but just because they are wrong on some things, does not make them wrong on all things. Both positions cannot be correct.

In Part 1 we covered three examples from the Old Testament: The King of Tyre, the King of Babylon and the Prince of Persia. Now we shall take a walk through the New Testament.
