1 - Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moses blessed the twelve tribes of Israel before his death, Deuteronomy 33:1.

According to God’s Commandment, Moses blesses Joshua the son of Nun that was filled with the spirit and wisdom for Moses laid his hands upon him. The children of Israel obeyed him and did as God commanded Moses, Deuteronomy 34:9. After Moses' death, the Lord God appointed Joshua to lead His people and to pass over the Jordan River to the Promised Land that He gave to them. As God said to Moses and as God repeated the same commandments to Joshua also. The border of the land is from the wilderness of Lebanon to the Great River Euphrates to the land of Hittites and unto the Great Sea toward going down of the sun shall be his coast, Joshua 1:2 to 4.

After Joshua was appointed to rule the children of Israel after the death of Moses, the people asked for a king "Monarchy system" instead "theocracy system"; which is ruled by high priests and through God.

 

In the morning, Samuel anointed Saul and poured on his head the oil and announced him as the Lord God requested Saul to be the president over the Israelites. Then Samuel called the Israelites together unto the Lord in Mizpeh and said to them that God took them out of Egypt but they refused to be guarded by God and they demanded a king over them instead. Then all the tribes voted and the tribe of Benjamin was elected and Saul was chosen to be the king, First Samuel 10:17 to 27.

 

The Israelites demand a king = Monarchy system, instead Theocracy "through God" Does God heal without offerings?  Was Israel under God’s protection for short time? Did God allow Moses to condemn the lawless people "sinners" to death by stoning, to heal the sick, to cleanse, and to offer? Are the animals' bloods and the waters cure or just symbolisms that must be observed as well? 

 

After Moses' death, God pointed Samuel to lead the children of Israel in the wilderness in their journey to the Promised Land. Then, the Israelites demanded from Samuel a king to rule and judge over them for Monarchy system. Israel were ruled by God; however, the people disliked the theocracy system because they never believed that they were protected by God’s and led through His prophets according to His commandments.

2 - Did God command second circumcision?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joshua was not a king, he is the man of God as Moses, Joshua did well in the sight of God he passes the Ark of the Covenant over the Jordan River Joshua 3:1 to 17. God commanded Joshua to circumcise the Hebrew males another time, Joshua 5:2. It is not explainable why the males must be circumcised two times. Weren’t they circumcised properly? The book of Joshua doesn’t explain the reason for this commandment. Joshua built an altar for God and red the book of the law and the Commandment that God announced to Moses, Joshua 8:30.

 

God commanded Joshua to circumcise the Hebrew males another time. It is not explainable why the males must be circumcised two times. Weren’t they circumcised properly? The following passage contains many translation errors. The passage reads: 2 At that time the Lord said to Josue = (Joshua): Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.

[Note: The word "second time" is not mentioned in the bible society of Lebanon. It is not logic to circumcise the males two times. However, the passage verse 4 to 6 clarifies it; it says: the people that were born in the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land were not circumcised. However, we don't know why the word "second time" was mentioned in this passage. Note ends] [Note: other translations as the bible Society of Lebanon say: "he circumcised the children of Israel at (Gabaa Haarlote) or (Gibeah Haarlote)" instead (in the hill of the foreskins). Note end]

3 He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins. 4 Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way. 5 Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert, 6 Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not show them the land flowing with milk and honey. 7 The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue = (Joshua): for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way. 8 Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed. 9 And the Lord said to Josue = (Joshua): This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal = (Gilgal), until this present day. [Note: the word Gilgal or Galgal is commonly used as Galila, Gilgala, Galgala, Galil, or "Galilee" where the Lord Jesus = (Yeshua) Christ came from Nazareth of Galilee. In this verse the word Gilgal means sovereign = sovereignty or liberation, in Arabic language it means the sane "Galal" or "Ja - lal) = sovereign = sovereignty. Note ends.]

10 And the children of Israel abode in Galgal = (Gilgal), and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho: 11 And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year. 12 And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan = (Canaan). 13 And when Josue = (Joshua) was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries? 14 And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. 15 Josue = (Joshua) fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What says my lord to his servant? 16 Loose, says he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou stand is holy. And Josue = (Joshua) did as was commanded him, Joshua 5:2 to 16.

[Note: in the king James bible the word Gabaa = (Gibeah) in Joshua 10:26 and in Joshua 7:1 is written as “Hill” instead Gabaa = (Gibeah). “Gabaath” is mentioned in (Joshua 18:28), (Joshua 24:33), First Chronicles 11:31, First Chronicles 12:3, and in Isaiah 10:29. moslem = (muslim) worshipping place in Saudi Arabia called “Kabaa = [Kaaba]” “Al Kabaa” or “Gaaba” also. For more information about Gabaa = (Gibeah), refer to page "Ark of the Covenant" and page “Giants” to read about the giants, "Amalekites" "Amalekite" "Amalecites" "Amalecite" "Amalek" Amalec". Note end]

[Note: the word Rapha, Raphaim, Rephaim, Arapha, or Arafa, means giant

[Note: the word Jesbibenob = (Ishbibenob) is of the giants, and Arapha = (Arafa) means giant also.]

[Note: the word Amalecites = (Amalekites) means giants, Amalec = (Amalek) is giant. Amalecite = (Amalekite), "Nephilim" means giant also.]

Joshua and the Hebrews had battled against many strange kings and tribes during their journey to the Promised Land Israel, Joshua chapter 11, and chapter 12. When Joshua grew old, the Lord God told him to send his men to the land of Canaan that He gave to the children of Israel. And they should inherit the land as God divided it according to the names of their fathers the twelve tribes, Joshua 13:1 to 33.

3 - The Israelites demand a king = Monarchy system, instead Theocracy "through God"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does God heal without offerings? 

Was Israel under God’s protection for short time?  

Did God allow Moses to condemn the lawless people "sinners" to death by stoning, to heal the sick, to cleanse, and to offer? 

Are the animals' bloods and the waters cure or just symbolisms that must be observed as well? 

After Moses' death, God pointed Samuel to lead the children of Israel in the wilderness in their journey to the Promised Land. Then, the Israelites demanded from Samuel a king to rule and judge over them [Monarchy system]. Israel were ruled by God; however, the people disliked the theocracy system because they never believed that they were protected by God’s and led through His prophets according to His commandments.

Samuel prayed to God and asked for wisdom to lead the Israelites. God said to Samuel: [this people did not reject you, but they have rejected me.] God took them out of Egypt but they served other gods. God spoke to Samuel to tell his people what manner of king shall rule over them that they will be judged and ruled and paying taxes without mercy. The children of Israel didn’t care, they insisted to have king to rule over them. Then, God said to Samuel, “Tell my people that I would not hear them when they need me”.

When Samuel told the people as God commanded him to say, the insisted to have king to rule over them instead God, First Samuel 8:1 to 22.

Note: since Moses and Samuel ruled over the Children of Israel through God’s commandments. God protected His people from the hands of Philistines = (Palestine) = (Palestinians) and the enemies, and healed them from their sickness and answered their prayers. God took them out of Egypt trough the wilderness for 40 years with the same sandals on their feet, and supplied them with heavenly food “manna” for forty years journey they never hungered and never thirsted. When the children of Israel were ruled by theocracy system, they were healed from their sickness, some were judged according to God’s Law and many were forgiven. In this generation, the people contradict God’s Law “the Torah” concerning cleansing through animals’ bloods and waters. It sounds fiction, in reality the animal’ blood is for the sin’s offering, and the water is used for cleansing. In reality, God heals and cleanses; the bloods and the waters are symbolisms only.

Then, God said to Samuel “tell my people that I would not hear them when they need me in that day”, First Samuel 8:18.

During Moses’ era, the people were healed and protected through their prayers and offerings. God always appear to them in the clouds and spoke to their prophets constantly. During Moses' era, God allowed Moses to judge His people according to His Law. The death penalty was valid through Moses also. However, was Moses perfect without sin to judge sinners to death according to the Torah? We don't know, however, Moses killed an Egyptian; did God forgive Moses for this crime? I believe He did. Nevertheless, Moses transgressed God again in the wilderness when he took waters out of the rock without praising God. Therefore, God prohibited Moses to enter into the Promised Land. Judging sinners to death was before Moses' transgression.

When the Pharisees were stoning an adulterer woman in public, Jesus said to them: whosoever without sin, throw the first stone. It means that transgressor is not permitted to condemn sinners; a blind can't lead another blind. There were no righteous prophets or judges to condemn sinners to death. Jesus said: [no one is perfect, God is.] Therefore, the death penalty must be issue by God only. There are certain crimes that could be condemned through high priest or judges according to the Torah, excluding the death penalty.

When the Israelites decided to have a king over them instead God, God forsake them and promised not answer their prayers, First Samuel 8:1 to 22. Then, Samuel said to them: the Lord God doesn’t forsake His people, but you should do well in His sight, and you shall not die and your king also, First Samuel 12:1 to 25. Jesus = (Yeshua) confirms God’s Law that concerns cleansing and healing through offerings. God still heal through the Torah’s Law, it mean through cleansing and sins’ offerings. God is merciful. .

The scripture reads: [12 And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off; 13 And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus = (Yeshua), master, have mercy on us. 14 Whom when he saw, he said: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. 16 And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus = (Yeshua) answering, said, were not ten made clean? And where are the nine? 18 There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger. 19 And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole,] Luke 17:12 to 19.

The above passage tells us that those men were healed through their obedient to God’s Law; and through cleansing offerings. Jesus was able to heal them but he wanted to prove that he didn’t come to abolish God’s Law. Therefore, Jesus= (Yeshua) commanded them to show themselves to the priest. The waters and the blood are symbolisms, which they must be observed as well. Those symbolisms are the acceptance's signs to God’s Law. God placed rules in His Law to visit the priest and to obey His Commandments that are in His Law. The priest, the bloods, and the waters are symbolisms and signs for our obedience to God’s Word. The circumcision is the acceptance's sign to God’s divine covenant also. Therefore, the circumcision is a law that must be observed. Jesus = (Yeshua) said that the circumcision is not of Moses it is of the fathers, (John 7: 22), which means from the covenant that God made with Abraham the father of many nations. The circumcision covenant was not issued from God to Abraham and his seed only. God’s covenant is perpetual and for mankind. God said to Abraham: [MY COVENANT SHALL BE IN YOUR FLESH FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT]. In Genesis 17:12 to 14, God said, His covenant is everlasting covenant, it means forever. Even Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day of his birth, and obeyed God's Law fully. Are the modern Christians more superior to Jesus to abolish God's Law entirely?

Jesus = (Yeshua) said: [Go offer for your cleansing, ACCORDING as Moses COMMANDED,] Luke 5:14. This passage explains that faith is not the only way for salvation and healing. Jesus healed the sick man, but he told him to offer as Moses commanded. Jesus confirmed God's Law that was announced to Moses. Therefore, he told the sick man to offer according to the Law. It means that healing is through our faith in God and through the cleansing offerings observation. The sick man was healed before he offered to God "according to the Law". However, Jesus didn't exclude this component of the Law. Therefore, Jesus commanded the healed man to offer according to the Law. The Law that Moses spoke is of God and not of Moses. Therefore, we must obey God's Law "Torah" fully.

When Samuel grew old, he permitted his sons Joel and Abiah to judge over Israel. Nevertheless, Joshua’s children were after profits, brides, and perverted judgment.

4 - Samuel meeting Saul:

As the days were passing by, Samuel met Saul. Saul is the son of Kish of Benjamin’s tribe he was one of the tallest man in the children of Israel. The Lord God spoke to Samuel that He would send a man of the land of Benjamin to anoint him as president over the Israelites and to deliver them from the Palestinians. When Samuel saw Saul, they enter into the parliament and ate that day and slept on the top of the house, First Samuel 9:1 to 25.

5 - God asked Samuel to anoint Saul and to announce him as king.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the morning, Samuel anointed Saul and poured on his head the oil and announced him as the Lord God requested Saul to be the president over the Israelites. Then Samuel called the Israelites together unto the Lord in Mizpeh and said to them that God took them out of Egypt but they refused to be guarded by God and they demanded a king over them instead. Then all the tribes voted and the tribe of Benjamin was elected and Saul was chosen to be the king, First Samuel 10:17 to 27.

Saul smote the Nahash the Ammonites, First Samuel chapter 11, and the Palestinians, first Samuel Chapter 13. When Samuel grew old, he called the people of Israel and told them: God placed and anointed a king over you as you have requested. And if you transgress and refuse to obey God, He shall not hear you.

Then, Samuel prayed in the front of the people and said to them: [it is not the wheat harvest today, I will call the Lord, and you shall see thunder and rain. Then you may perceive and see your wickedness is great, because you deny the Lord God and took a king instead]. As Samuel said, the Lord sent the thunder and rain; all people that day feared and asked Samuel to pray to God for their transgressions. Then Samuel said to them that the Lord God doesn’t forsake his people, but you should do well in His sight, and you shall not die and your king also, First Samuel 12:1 to 25.

Saul delivered the people of Israel from their enemies the Palestinians, and the Amalekites. When the people smote the Palestinian, they enter into the land and they took the sheep and the oxen and they slew them on the ground and ate the meat with blood. In that day the Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord in eating blood. For this transgression, each one of the people of Israel offered his own sheep as an offering to the Lord. And Saul built an altar for the Lord God, and it was the first altar for the Lord that Saul built, First Samuel 14:1 to 52, First Samuel 15:1 to 9. [Note: Amalec = (Amalek) = (Amalekites) = (giants)] For more information about the giants =Amalek, refer to page Giants.

[Note: the word Rapha, Raphaim, Rephaim, Arapha, or Arafa, means giant

[Note: the word Jesbibenob = (Ishbibenob) is of the giants, and Arapha = (Arafa) means giant also.]

[Note: the word Amalecites = (Amalekites) means giants, Amalec = (Amalek) is giant. Amalecite = (Amalekite), "Nephilim" means giant also.]

------------------------------------

6 - God regretted anointing king Saul

The Lord regretted anointing Saul a king over His people because he turns back and did not obey His commandments. Then, Samuel went to Saul and told him what the Lord God have said about him that the Lord God anoint Saul to be king over His people and told him to smite the ungodly “Amalekites” until they all be consumed with all they have. But Saul allowed the people to keep the sheep and the oxen to eat and to offer to the Lord God. And because Saul did not obey God’s Word, God had rejected him as king over His people. Then Saul said to Samuel, [I did obey the Lord God and I destroyed the enemies but I feared the people of Israel and I let them to keep the oxen to eat and to offer to the Lord God], First Samuel 15:10 to 35. [Note: Amalec = (Amalek) = (Amalekites) = (giants)] For more information about the giants =Amalek, refer to page Giants.

[Note: the word Rapha, Raphaim, Rephaim, Arapha, or Arafa, means giant

[Note: the word Jesbibenob = (Ishbibenob) is of the giants, and Arapha = (Arafa) means giant also.]

[Note: the word Amalecites = (Amalekites) means giants, Amalec = (Amalek) is giant. Amalecite = (Amalekite), "Nephilim" means giant also.]

7 - God commands Samuel to anoint David

Then, the Lord God said to Samuel to stop mourns over Saul, and He asked him to fill his jar with oil because God found in Bethlehem from Jesse’s sons a king for Israel. Samuel was afraid if Saul knew about this anointing, Saul would kill him, but God showed him the way to go to Bethlehem safely. Then Samuel went to Jesse’s house and when the youngest of Jesse’s seven sons entered into the house the Lord God spoke to Samuel and said to him, this is the one, anoint him. Then the Spirit of God came upon David from that day and Samuel poured the oil upon David’s head, First Samuel 16:1 to 16.

David and King Saul became good friends but not for long time. David participated in the army and was fighting against the Palestinians; and he was helping Saul’s army, First Samuel chapter 17. Then Saul was Jealous of David because He was good in this military field and was killing the enemies by the thousands and the people of Israel and Judah love him also because he was helping to win their battles. Saul offered his daughter to David to be his wife in one condition that he joint his army and be a good leader. Saul did it, not because he loves David, he did because he wants David to get killed by the Palestinians but not by Saul, but David did not marry her, First Samuel chapter 18.

------------------------------------

8 - King Saul tried to kill David

Then Saul tried to smite David but David escaped, then Saul sent many people to kill him in his house but David fled again, First Samuel chapter 19 and chapter 21. Then, Saul killed all the priests of the Lord in the city of Nob, and David has the chance to kill Saul in the cave while Saul was sleeping. However, David cut piece of Saul’s garment. David promised Saul that he would not destroy Saul name and his father’s name also, First Samuel chapter 24. Then, Samuel died and was buried near his house in the Rama, First Samuel chapter 25.

David escaped another time from Saul. And David obeyed God’s commandment and defended the Israelites from their enemies the Palestinians even he was running away from Saul. The Palestinians were ready by hundreds of thousands to attack the Israelites, but in the city of Ziklag, the Amalekites invaded and burned the south with fires. And when David came to Ziklag found the city and its entire people were dead and burned, and the women were taken captives. David and the others cried and wept until they have no more power to weep. And David’s two wives were taken captives also. The Lord God spoke to David and told him to follow the wicked and to save all the people that were taken captives. Then David found the Amalekites’ hidden place and attacked them and took back all the captives and all the oxen and his two wives back, First Samuel 30:1 to 31.

9 - The death of King Saul

The Palestinians attacked the Israelites and killed many and they chased Saul and his family. Then, Saul was afraid to fall captive in the hand of the Palestinians, he took the sword of His guard and kill him self, and all his children and his man in the mount of Gilboa, First Samuel 31:1 to 13.

When David knew about Saul and God’s army, he cried and wept, David then ordered his Guard to kill the man that allowed Saul to die in the front of his eyes. Even Saul tried to kill David many times and David has the chance to kill Saul two times but he did not kill Saul because God anointed Saul and he respects what God anointed, Second Samuel 1:1 to 27.

10 - King David became a king over many tribes and Israel

David asked the Lord God if he could go to Judah. Then, God permitted him to go to Judah until Hebron. And the men of Hebron came to David and anointed him as king over Judah. The tribes of Israel gathered and anointed David a king over Israel and Jerusalem. And the Lord God spoke to David and told him to smite the Palestinians, and David did as God commanded him. And He brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. And he built the house of the Lord and the fence of Jerusalem and called it the city of David. He took wives for him and servants. And Hiram the king of Tyre sent the cedar trees to build David’s house, Second Samuel chapter 2, Second Samuel chapter 5, Second Samuel chapter 6.

David fought the Palestinians in many battles and defeated them, one of those battles was in the city of Gob, and another in Gath where was a man of great stature [giant] that has six fingers for each hand and six toes for each foot. And many great men of Gath fell by the hand of David, Second Samuel 21:15 to 22.

11 - King David did evil in God’s sight, therefore his son died

David loved the Lord and helped the Israelites but he despised God’s commandment and did evil for Killing Uriah the Hittite and taking his wife.

12 - King David repented, and the birth of Solomon

David repented to God for what he had done and mourns for seven days. Then, David lay with his wife Bathsheba = (Bath - sheba) and she bares a son, and David named him Solomon, and the Lord loves him, Second Samuel 12:24 to 25. [Note: Bathsheba = (Bath - sheba) means the house of Sheba or the tribe of Sheba.]

David saw the angel of the Lord smiting the people of Israel because he had sinned, then David built an Alter for the Lord God in Araunah to get forgiveness because it was not the people’s sin but David’s. David did as God commanded him he built the Alter and then the angel of the Lord stop smiting the people. Then, David bought the oxen for fifty Shekels = (Sicles) of silvers to offer sacrifices to the Lord in that Altar, Second Samuel 24:10 to 25.

[Note: Bersabee = (Bershebah) is “Ber of Shebah”, it means “the well of Shebah” it means the well of abundance. The word "Beer" means "well" and "Ber" means "land" or field. The word Shebah in Arabic or in Hebrew means “abundance” = had enough to eat or enough to drink, or “full”, Genesis 26:32 to 33.

Part of Shebah’s city or village is in modern Israel and part in Lebanon boarder. The Syrians authority, the Lebanese authority, and the Israelite authority are fighting for the fields of Shabah”. In reality, this place belongs to Israel. It is been proven in Genesis 26:32 to 33. They call it Mazarea Shabah or Shebah. The word Mazarea is Arabic language means "fields" “Fields of Shabah” or “Farms of Shabah].

King David grew old, then, David ordered to call Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet, and the son of Jehoiada to bring Solomon to ride upon David’s donkey in the city Gibon and to anoint him a king over Israel and Judah after his father David. And they did as the king David ordered them to do. David blessed and thanked God for sending the right person to take his throne, First Kings 1:1 to 53. The days of David drew nigh that he should die for his old age.

King Salmon prayed to God, however, he did not ask God to be wealthy and to have long life, but to give him wisdom and knowledge to rule His people in righteousness. The speech of King Solomon pleases God. The Lord God spoke to him and gave him as he prayed, and commanded him to keep the status of His Commandments as his Father David did. Solomon was filed with God’s wisdom and was righteous. The people and kings worldwide came to Solomon to learn from his wisdom and his advices, First King 3:1 to 27.

15 - King Solomon built God’s temple

King Solomon’s kingdom was all over Judah and Israel from the river unto the land of Palestine and unto the border of Egypt. The people came from all over to serve Solomon. The multitudes of Israel were many as the sand of the sea. The foods were distributed to the people of the kingdom. Solomon owned thousands of oxen and horses. Solomon wrote one thousand and five psalms and proverbs. And he spoke about the trees of Lebanon, the birds, the fishes, and all the animals of the earth. He was getting many presents from the kings worldwide. He built the house of the Lord God as his father wanted. Then, Solomon ordered to cut the cedar trees of Lebanon to build God’s temple.

In the year four hundred and eighty, after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt to Israel. And in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Zif, King Solomon started to build God’s temple. The builders built the temple without using any iron tools to cut the stones, First Kings 6:1 to 38.

The house of Solomon took thirteen years to build. Solomon used the cedar trees of Lebanon to build it. He built huge place and named it, “the forest of Lebanon”. It was made in forty-five pillars and fifteen in the role, from the cedar trees of Lebanon, First kings 7:1 to 51.

God disliked King Solomon transgressions, God sent the enemies Hadad the Edomite against him. God blesses Jeroboam and gave him ten parts of the ten tribes of Israel and kept only two tribes for King Solomon to rule over them. God didn’t’ destroy Solomon completely from the kingdom. God gave Solomon two tribes only because God loves his father David. Then, the king Salmon tried to kill Jeroboam; however, Jeroboam went to Egypt and stayed until Solomon died. Solomon died, and his reign over Israel was for forty years. Solomon was buried with his fathers in the city of David, First Kings 11:1 to 43. [Note: the word "Idumea" refers to "Edom" the "Edomites", the inhabitants of mount Seir, which are Esau's descendants]

21 - Note about Chaldeans = (Chaldaeans)

------------------------------

[Note: Chaldees = (Chaldeans)]

It is writing two times in Judith 5:7, two times in Baruch. The name Chaldeans = (Chaldaeans) = (Chal - deans = (Chal - daeans) 

Note: Biblically, Chaldees or Chaldeans is a region in Iraq, but in modern days, this name is a group of Christian people ("kaldan" or "Kaldanieen" or "Kaldani") that live in Iraq also.

Biblically and according to personal objectives, the name Cain became Canaan. And from the seed of Cain came the giants of the old days and the daughters of men. Did Cain kill his brother? These biblical passages were added later to disgrace Cain and the Canaanites' race. Let's read part of these modifications, Cain killed his brother Abel and the spirit of Cain reincarnated after the flood in Canaan the grand son of Noah.

The land of Chaldees = Chaldeans is located in Iraq “Babel” near Mesopotamia, Genesis 11:28.

Modern people of Chaldees or Chaldeans in this era and during Jesus' era also are Christians. They are named in Arabic "kaldan" or "Kaldanieen" or "Kaldani". These Christians do live in Iraq, they have been persecuted by Islam for the past fifteen centuries,

The word “Mesopotamia” where Abraham dwelt before God commanded him to move to Charan = (Charran), Acts 7:2 to 4. In Genesis 24:10 the word "Mesopotamia = (Padanaram)" is (Padanaram) or (Padan-Aram) or (Padan) in the bible society of Lebanon says (field of Aram). Genesis 11:28. In Deuteronomy 23:4, Mesopotamia is in Syria according to the translation of the bible society of Lebanon. According to king James bible, reads: [he went to Mesopotamia into the city of Nahor], the word “Nahor” in Arabic means river. Mesopotamia is a Greek word meaning 'between the two rivers". The rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates which flow through modern Iraq. The Euphrates also flows through much of Syria also. In Numbers 22:5 the Euphrates River passes through Mesopotamia also. We do not know if the Syrian’s territory extended to Iraq during that era. Balaam is from Mesopotamia also, Deuteronomy 23:4. The children of Israel had battles with Balaam, God and Jesus hated Balaam, Jesus prophesied in John’s vision about the church of Pergamos of Babylon. The passage reads: [13 I know where thou dwell, where the seat of Satan is: and you hold fast my name and don’t deny my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slew among you, where Satan dwells. 14 but I have against thee a few things: because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak = (Balach) = (Balac) to cast stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites = (Nicolaitanes).16 in like manner do repent if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth, Revelation 2:13 to16. Is it coincidence? No, it is not.

Prophet Nostradamus (verse 3:99) says; [the conflict will be very sharp for both armies, Mesopotamia will fail in France. It means Mesopotamia is a country’s name or army. Note ends]
