All signs at every major level of human experience point to a coming crisis in the political, economic, military, social, and religious lives of people in the world today.
No country will escape the coming crisis so its citizens would do well to prepare. A network of people with common concern for our individual and national well being need to communicate on a world wide basis like never before. For the first time in the history of the world, instantaneous communication of the masses is now possible -- at a time where there is a “Distress of Nations with Perplexity” with conflict and instability arising all around us.
At this critical time, a problem however has also developed in that many are operating on information overload. In the Dark Ages information and knowledge was suppressed by kings, priests and secret societies, but today, as the world moves toward the Exabytes quantity of accessible information soon to be exchanged, there is a growing need to properly interpret the vast amounts of information at our disposal. Not for personal advantage, but for the collective advantage of people who do not want to see our world destroyed because of extremists, greed, and/or incompetence. Evil is real and must be addressed.
This need creates a challenge for people of varying backgrounds and educational levels to come together with a common purpose. For a common purpose to develop, there is need for compromise and understanding on minor issues with a love for the truth being paramount. Abraham Lincoln said it best in his day:
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union." (Abraham Lincoln)
It is past time for God's professed believers to put away denominational differences and search for the "present truths" clearly revealed in Scripture for these last days. Life as we have know it is about to change.
The purpose of this site is to demonstrate that there is a historic Judeo/Christian thread running through the past 3,000 years that establishes a common authority for God's people; that when violated brings chaos and destruction.
Why This Site Is Unique
The challenge of this site is to present a unique world-view paradigm, through the use of graphical charts and diagrams, that is understandable to the widest population possible crossing cultural and ethnic lines. This paradigm is largely not understood and/or misunderstood by the majority of Christians and non-Christians alike. A crisis is coming and the World is not prepared!
Without an outline and understanding of the big picture of history, relative to the migration paths of specific people groups, one cannot understand why the conflict between the Christian West and Muslim East is occurring, how deeply seated this conflict is, or why it will not be solved before tens of thousands more will die. We are at the point in world history where the growing conflict in the Middle East will affect everyone to a greater degree then the world has ever experienced; and secular politicians have no answers to solve the conflicts since they have rejected the authority and history of the Bible. It is understandable for non-Judeo/Christian countries to not pay heed to the counsel given, but a monumental change has occurred in professed Christian countries - predominately Great Brittan and the United States - where those who reject the Bible is in a growing majority in direct proportion to our growing problems. It is now necessary for third world countries to send missionaries to first world countries. There is a need for a Christian and Jewish revival - for the world's survival.
Our Current World
The development of Europe and the United States particularly, has directed the path of our current world system -- both for the good and bad. It is true that religion is responsible for more wars throughout the last 2,000 years of history than any other single cause. It is therefore imperative that we understand the difference between "religion," "faith," and hopeful thinking.
Empires throughout history have gone through cycles of growth and collapse - this fact is clear. However, by just studying the major empires as shown in the diagram below you will find a specific thread running from the Egyptian empire to that of the United States. Considering the timing of the empires and the fact that none last forever, it is important to take a close look at what appears to be a collapsing of the American Empire in the two major areas of economics and morality.
There is a clear Judeo/Christian influence through history that was a major factor in the foundation of America. This influence has eroded to the point that America is no longer considered a Christian nation. The Executive branch of government and the Obama administration specifically has stated such openly ever since the 2012 presidential election.
Although there are differences in belief and faith between the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, there also exists a family bond between Jews, gentile Christians, and Arab Muslims either by blood or by adoption. In this website you will learn of specific differences and what it will take for each to ultimately live in peace; in spite of the extreme elements in all three faiths and the tragic results of conflict. Owning up to the facts of history are difficult, but it is the only way the world can ever hope to find peace. Errors must be identified and corrected.
Foundational principles for a stable government must be rediscovered and implemented. However, positive changes can only occur if America submits itself to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This website will address why this will be impossible without divine intervention, in a world that is operating within a democratic framework where the majority vote rules.
Organizational Structures
Below are three diagrams which represent common organizational structures. Whatever the organization, whether it be governments, businesses, churches, synagogues or mosques, each follow a basic authority or chain of command.
Although the corporate structure is by far the concept most used to provide order and direction, there is an inherent flaw in its implementation because of the corrupting influences that power brings. Power concentrated in one person or small group of persons contains a formula for abuse. Whether it be corporations, religious groups, states or governments, they all are capable of the abuse of power and authority.
The biblical hierarchy of authority is found in the third diagram. Power and authority here is used to support and nurture an individuals relationship with God. This concept runs contrary to a Group Think, follow the leader mentality.
Therefore, each individual is responsible to maintain his or her relationship with God. Leadership is only there to help direct, encourage, and support a person’s walk with God. This is where ones authority must be clearly defined and understood.
Authority
The authority by which individuals or groups govern their actions must be understood in order to have meaningful dialogue. Without dialogue there can be no communication, and without communication there can be no mutual understanding. The question is: what is the basis for truth and authority?
The figures below demonstrates, in simplistic terms, the issues which must be resolved in order for people to make correct decisions based on universal truths as found in both the New and Old Testaments of the Judeo/Christian faiths. In order to coexist in peace, a love for truth must exist along with a desire and commitment to follow truth. The third diagram represents the only logical migration path in our thinking that makes both Biblical and Historical sense; and is the basis for this study.
No Respect for Authority - No Peace
Christianity and Islam alone comprises over 1/3 of the population of planet earth and are driving current events today. Add to that Atheists who deny there is an Intelligent Designer and Agnostics who deny the God they once believed in (because of disenchantment and anger turned away from their former belief), all other religions, liberals, conservatives, etc., and you have unending chaos and conflict between members of the human family who are all of the same species. The love of many is truly growing cold in direct proportion to the growing lawlessness in our world.
Psalm 119 is in the exact center of the Bible and contains the longest chapter. This chapter deals with the Name and Authority of the God of Abraham-Isaac-Jacob, and the Law/Torah He gave on Mt. Sinai in Arabia. The center three verses of Psalms 119 along with Ecclesiastics reveal the whole duty of man. See: A Deeper Look At Psalm 119.
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. “ Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Judaism has largely forgotten the Torah (Hosea 4:6), disobeyed her prophets, and superseded it with the Oral Law, thus creating the Talmud while in Babylonian captivity. For 1,700 years, Christianity superseded the Tanakh (Old Testament) with the New Testament and has continued to teach that obedience to the Torah is Legalism and not required for "Christian" believers.
How have both of those positions worked out for the world?
The visualizations shown below, and at the end of the A Deeper Look At Psalm 119 document, demonstrate what the Bible looks like if you remove the authority of the Old Testament from the New. Consider what happens when you either change or discard major portions of the Bible as has been done by Christianity in its development of Replacement and Dispensational Theologies.
The affect has been to obsolete the Old Testament and render its authority of "non effect" to the Christian believer by confusing faith and obedience -- thus defining obedience as legalism. This has caused an ideological gulf between Jews and Christians to this day. However, God has been correcting these errors specifically ever since 1988 when the seeds of a Restoration Movement (vs. Reformation) began to take root in an accelerated fashion.
Adding to, or taking away from the Scriptures is a direct violation of Biblical instructions found in both the Old and New Testaments as found in Deuteronomy. 4:1-2, 12:31-32, Matthew 5:17-20, and Revelation 22:14. Jews have likewise added to and taken away from the written Tanakh (Old Testament) through its development of the religion of Judaism which began during the Babylonian captivity where the Talmud (Oral Law) supersedes the written Torah.
Either the written Scriptures as given on Mt. Sinai are authoritative, or they are not. Nearly the entire world has declared that they are not, and is acting accordingly as it becomes increasingly lawless. Consider the problem that exists because of the testimony and witness of Christians themselves. An incorrect understanding of the Bible story itself has damaged the relationship of Christians and Jews and has aided the development of lawlessness in Christian nations as the Christian Witness illustratively demonstrates.
The Answer - Restoration Not Reformation Needed
There has to be an answer outside the capability and expertise of politicians, preachers, and priests who have demonstrated that they have no answers or solutions to the unending lawlessness in our world today. A strong case can be made that "Lawlessness" results when society disregards and violates the laws God gave to the world through the Israelite people as found in the Torah. The majority of Jews neglect the Torah, and the majority of Christian's reject it. Christian pastors go so far as teaching that obedience to the 10-Commandments alone is legalism. Catholic Popes have gone so far as changing them. How has that worked out for us?
We need to entertain the possibility that answers to our problems have been hidden in plan site all the time, but we as the human race have neglected to search out that possibility. Honest dialogue is needed. The world is hurting. Solutions must be found!
Human events and experiences are linked together to form a chain of history that cannot be understood or taken seriously if you ignore the origin of those events. People and events of history are one; and people follow belief systems. The significance of the current conflicts in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East can only be explained through knowledge of Judeo/Christian history dating back 3,500 years to the historical figure of Abraham and his descendants.
Hebrew - Christian Transition
Israel, and Jerusalem specifically, is and will continue to be, a cup of trembling for the nations. If a third world war happens, it will center in the epicenter of Israel which was the ancient crossroads of civilization.
In the first century the Hebrew Messiah was named and called Yeshua. As early as the second century the Jewish Messiah became known as Iesous (ee-ay-sooce in Greek), and finally as "Jesus" in the 1600's with the entrance of the letter "J" into the English alphabet. This was not only a name or linguistic change, but a cultural change as well -- transitioning from a Hebrew context to Greek. This point alone establishes an urgency to question what we have been taught for the last 1700 years (after the creation of Catholicism) regarding our understanding of what the Hebrew Messiah and the apostle Paul taught - since Shaul (Paul) was Hebrew as well.
Because of the lack of understanding of the origins of the three world Monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and their Biblical relationship to each other, it is impossible to understand why the current conflict in the Middle East cannot be solved while ignoring these deep seated and strongly held belief systems. There is a mixture of truth and error on all sides of the conflict and compromise will be difficult, if not entirely impossible for those who are dedicated to their particular historical belief.
It is therefore imperative that Jews be made aware that Christendom, as it developed after the first century C.E., does not represent the thousands of Jewish believers that accepted their Messiah at the time of Yeshua/Jesus. Christians lost their Hebrew Roots of the faith and created a new religion separate and distinct from their Jewish heritage because everything Hebrew was gradually discarded in the first three centuries leading up to emperor Constantine.
Instead of uniting and developing as one unified people who worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, a sad contentious history developed between Judaism and Christianity.
Christianity evolved into a religion devoid of a Hebrew context between 100 and 400 C.E. By the time of the fall of the Pagan Roman Empire in 476 C.E., those who called themselves "Christian" transitioned themselves from victims of persecution into positions of power. After Constantine took over power from Emperor Diocletian, he gave tolerance to Christians then, semi-converted to Christianity. When Emperor Clovas rose to power he decreed Paganism to be illegal thus marking the center point of transition from Pagan Rome to Papal Rome.
Between 538 and 554 C.E. Emperor Justinian gave official state power to the organization which we now call the Roman Catholic Church. This in effect continued the Roman empire and marked the historical starting point of the Catholic Church - who's power would last for 1260 years up to the time of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 to 1814.
Just 84 years after 538 C.E., Islam was created by Muhammad and the religions of Christianity and Islam would find themselves in armed conflict over the Holy Land and Jerusalem during the Crusades of the 1200's.
Effect on History
The first of the two diagrams below, shows the timing and development of the Roman Catholic church in 538 C.E. (after the fall of the Pagan Roman Empire in 476 C.E.), the starting point of Islam through Mohammad in 622, and the rise of the Holy Roman Catholic and Ottoman empires.
The second diagram shows the timing of the Evolutionary Theory, the development of the three main 1800's churches (Adventist, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormon), the start of the Marian Movement in the Catholic church, and the beginning of the Zionist movement in 1896 with Theodore Herzel.
Eliezer ben Yehuda is credited with restoring the Hebrew language; which over the span of 1500 years became an dead unspoken language. Hebrew is the only language in history that has been resurrected from being a dead language to a position of common everyday speech.
Consider how these organizations have affected the world - thus setting the stage for the issues the world is facing today. The events highlighted are not obscure insignificant events, but are at the forefront of current thought and discussion. These events have steered the course of history and have caused a significant disruption and conflict in the world.
Because of a lack of understanding of the origins of the three world Monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam - and their Biblical relationship to each other - it is impossible to understand why the current conflict in the Middle East cannot be solved while ignoring the deep seated and strongly held belief systems. There is a mixture of truth and error on all sides of the conflict and compromise will be difficult; if not entirely impossible for those who are dedicated to promoting their particular historical belief - either by non-violent or violent means.
TheSealing website is an attempt to show the timing of when certain events unfolded and demonstrate the chronological sequence of major pivotal events of history in order to sort out essential details. This visual/illustrated approach will show the time-distance relationship between such events and their cause and effect significance to each other.
By having an accurate picture of history from a Secular, Religious, and Economic perspective, it can be demonstrated that the relationship between differing ideologies has guided history to the point of our current crisis. Most people are not actors on the stage of major historical events, they are simply "extras on the set." This is where a "group think" mentality presents major problems to the society of nations thus driving the world into conflict and possible mass annihilation.
Knowledge Has Increased
We have arrived at the point in earth’s history were enough time has passed and enough knowledge has been acquired to show the human race that there are no lasting political or military solutions to our problems. We are living at a time when men’s hearts will be:
"... failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. …" Luke 21:26
This site will order Historical events in such a way, and give the necessary information so that you are aware of the root causes of the coming crisis in order to make the appropriate preparation. We must be on the correct side of the issues ahead so that we have the determination and confidence to only follow truth -- wherever it may lead.
