The next thing we come to in the Book of Revelation, starting in the 14th
chapter, verses 1 to 5, is a little parenthetical insert in there which has
nothing to do with what is going on. But you note that in several places in the
book there have been little parenthetical inserts to encourage the Christians
who through the centuries were having to undergo anywhere from considerable
hardship to outright martyrdom. And there is one here – John gets a vision of
the Lamb, symbolic of Yahshua the Christ standing on
[Transcriber’s
Note: I must agree with Comparet, that there will be a select few chosen for the
future administration of the Kingdom. But the so-called millennium (1000 years)
spoken of in Revelation is already past. If it is not past, we will have to go
through this satanic Babylonian system all over again, a second time. The Jewish
ghettos were symbolic of the “bottomless pit” and Satan having been “loosed”, is
in the process of “deceiving the nations” at this present time. C.A.E.]
Then
following this, it gets back to what is happening, and by this time, you
remember, the book is getting right up to the point where the things applying to
the end times are coming into effect. Revelation 14, verses 6 and 7: “And I saw
another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to
preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and
tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear Yahweh, and give glory to
him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and
earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
For
some 19 centuries now, the “church” has taken a different path. They have not
only not preached the gospel of the
[Transcriber’s
Note: I am not fully in agreement with Comparet’s definition of the “everlasting
gospel.” For which Israelite did Yahshua not die? He purchased us all with His
sacrifice. Otherwise, His chastisement would only affect individuals rather than
groups or nations. Are we supposed to believe that all those Israelites who
lived during the dark ages without a Bible to read or true priestly guidance
will somehow not have “eternal life?” Also the term “grace” alludes to “favor”,
like in “favorite”, which we are – and all we favored Israelites need do is to
receive it with appreciation.]
Paul,
in 1st Corinthians 3, verses 11 to 15, makes it clear. He starts by saying: “For
other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Yahshua Christ.” In
other words, unless you are basing your religion upon that, you have no
foundation to put it on. But how are you going to go through eternity with
nothing more than a foundation without ever having built anything on it? That’s
the next thing. Paul himself, who is always quoted by the “churches” as a sort
of successor to Yahshua, bringing in a new doctrine because – you notice, they
always like to say he contradicts everything that went before – but Paul would
be the last man in the world to take that view. Paul goes right on in the very
next verse: “Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day
shall declare it (and wherever we run into that phrase ‘the day’ or ‘that day’,
the day its speaking of is the great and terrible day of Yahweh) – the day shall
declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every
man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he
shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet through the very fire
[sic. yet so as by fire].”
In
other words, if you are like the majority of the people that go to the
“churches” and say, “Oh, don’t bother me with all of this. I’m a saved Christian
and that’s all I want to know”, that’s all you are going to get. You’ve got to
be able to carry it a step further than that if you want anything more than just
merely to remain alive in the hereafter. But you may well remain alive as low
man on the totem pole. The Book of Hebrews is sometimes attributed to Paul,
although I think most of the best scholars say that Paul couldn’t possibly have
written it because the style is so different from his. Paul wrote so much in a
very obscure and difficult style, and the Book of Hebrews is thoroughly clear
and to the point. From chapter 5, verse 12 to chapter 6, verse 3: “For when for
the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles
of Yahweh; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For
every one that useth milk is
unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have
their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” [See note #3 at end of lesson.]
Now
don’t get this mixed up with the problem of Adam and Eve, who were not supposed
to get into this matter of both good and evil. They did, and they brought this
situation upon us, that we’re in a world in which there is a great deal of evil
and corruption right on into the “churches”, with false doctrines from that sort
of thing. And, unless you do have the ability to discern between that which is
good and that which is evil, you’re going to be a very mixed-up and confused
person. It goes on: “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ,
let us go on unto perfection (Perhaps a better translation of that word would be
‘completion’ – let us go on to completion); not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith toward Yahweh, Of the doctrine of
baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of
eternal judgment. And this will we do, if Yahweh permit.”
It
is necessary, therefore, we understand the gospel of personal salvation by the
grace [favor] of Yahweh, because without that
you aren’t going to get anywhere. But it is only the starting point, not the
finish, because as Paul himself said, if you haven’t built anything on it that
will stand the test of the fire, you’re out of luck, except that you are merely
going to squeak through alive. The gospel of individual salvation by the grace
of Yahweh, furthermore, was to be preached from the beginning of the Christian
era, and it was. But you notice that here, in the end time you have this angel
appearing who had the everlasting gospel to preach, and it emphasizes that the
everlasting gospel comes in when things are just coming into focus at the end.
Hence, the everlasting gospel is the gospel of the

didn’t mince words on a lot of matters. He came right out and told things more
bluntly than politely, and they weren’t following this. Now Yahshua the Christ
emphasized at all times the gospel of the
That
doesn’t mean that He didn’t believe in the gospel of personal salvation. He
believed in it enough to die on the cross for it. But, as He said when He was on
the cross, “It is finished”, it’s accomplished. But what about things from here
on out? That’s what He was trying to prepare everyone for with His preaching of
the
Consequently,
you find in the “churches” today those who are always so eager to do anything
contrary to what Yahshua the Christ taught, saying, “Oh, we got to save the
Jews.” Yahshua the Christ took extreme pains not to save any of the Jews. I’ve used
this illustration before and I’m going to use it again; you might as well be
patient: If a rattle snake bites me and I forgive him, after I’ve forgiven, what
is he? He’s still a rattle snake. And if you forgive a Jew, and if you forgive
him ten thousand times, after you’ve forgiven him he’s still a Jew. Just as a
rattle snake is going to behave like one, a Jew is going to behave like one, and
Yahshua the Christ being Yahweh in the form of a man knew it. He was not going
to do what was not only futile by allowing the damaging act of having a Jew
around a bit longer by giving him another chance. Of all His parables, you won’t
find one of them where He says that “salvation for the individual” is like unto
‘something else’ in comparison. Rather, in all His parables, He said the
“
On
the other hand, all the “churches” are trying to be as big as possible and get
multitudes in. They boast how they can pack thousands of people into the stadium
to hear Billy Graham, although you notice that by far the greater part of those
who show up are those who are already supposedly converted and members of some
“church” and have been ordered to go there and make a good showing. We notice
here that Yahshua isn’t necessarily concerned with the multitudes, for He says,
“Fear not little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you
the kingdom”, not the vast multitudes. What it amounts to is this: there are a
lot of people down through these past centuries, and there are, living today,
those who are so-called “saved Christians” who are going to have a continued
existence in the next world. I would say the best they can hope for is to be
sweeping the streets and emptying the garbage in the
Additionally,
you find the many ministers who say, “Oh well, up until the time of the
crucifixion and the resurrection, Christ taught a different gospel because then
they were spared and given a chance that they might be persuaded, and so forth,
but then He started with something different, beginning with the resurrection.”
Again, they either don’t read their Bible or they don’t believe it. The Book of
Acts, chapter 1, verses 1 to 3: “The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus,
of all that Yahshua began both to do and teach, Until the day in which he was
taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments unto the
apostles whom he had chosen (now note this): To whom also he shewed himself
alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days
(now this is after His resurrection), and speaking of the things pertaining to
the kingdom of Yahweh.”
As
I say, the “churches” who like to take one sentence out of context from Paul,
say, “Oh well, Paul did away with all that.” But, if you will look at the last 2
or 3 chapters in the whole Book of Acts, it traces him to Rome, where he spent a
considerable amount of time – and he was not free to leave the city because he
was facing trial before Caesar on his appeal, but they left him at liberty and
he continued his preaching there – and it said he was teaching those things
pertaining to the Kingdom of Yahweh. We now have another clue to the fact that
the Gospel of the
That
word “end” is the Greek word (tel’-os), which means “the very end”,
not the beginning of the end. Thus, for 19 centuries we’ve had the gospel of
individual salvation being preached, and of course there was no indication that
the end was getting near. But now, when we have the Gospel of the
Again,
as further confirmation of this everlasting gospel, Psalm 145, verses 10 to 13:
“All thy works shall praise thee, O Yahweh; and thy saints shall bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; To make
known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his
kingdom. Thy kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.”
It’s only within our lifetime that there has been any large scale preaching of
this gospel of the
“And
there followed another angel, saying,

it says here, “
But
if you are going to put it upon that basis,
But
it’s clear now that all this that we’ve been going through pertains to the
judgment of Yahweh. Revelation 14, verses 14 to 20, makes that very clear
indeed, so let’s go on into that: “And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and
upon the cloud one sat like unto the
Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that
sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee
to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud
(Note now, this is no angel, this is Yahshua the Christ Himself, the Son of man)
– he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was
reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also
having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had
power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle,
saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the
earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into
the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath
of Yahweh. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of
the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred
furlongs.”
Therefore,
you have two different reapings here, the first by Yahshua the Christ Himself –
and you don’t have a statement, at this point, of what it was for and what the
consequences were. But as to the second reaping by the angel, you are told
definitely that this was a reaping for judgment: “the grapes of the vine of the
earth were cast into the winepress of the wrath of Yahweh.” Hence, there is a
distinction between the two here. This first reaping by Yahshua the Christ
Himself is evidently of those who are His at His coming. In other words, you’re
getting to the very same people that made up that hundred and forty-four
thousand that John had his vision of, who were standing upon

Now
all these things which were so emphatically brought into the Old Testament were
put there for a purpose, and you’ll notice that Yahshua the Christ keeps coming
back to these things to remind the people of what they should have known, and
that they should have been doing something about it all these intervening
centuries. You’ll remember the parable which is given all through Matthew, Mark
and Luke. Matthew 21, verses 33 to 46; Mark 12, verses 1 to 12; and Luke 20,
verses 9 to 19. In this parable, Yahshua the Christ speaks of a land owner that
had planted a vineyard, and He lent it out to old tenant tributary husbandmen on
assignment as a crop sharing rental. Then, when the time of harvest came, He
expected, of course, to receive His share of the crop. He sent His servants, one
after another, for it, and they beat one, and murdered another, and so on, until
He finally sent His Son, saying, “Surely they will reverence My Son.” Then said
the husbandmen (the people who were in charge of the vineyard), “Ah, this is the
heir, come let us kill Him, and then we’ll take the
inheritance.”
It
shows they themselves, these husbandmen in charge of the vineyard, they couldn’t
be of any tribe of
The
next thing we come to, by way of noting where we are in the Book of Revelation,
and inasmuch as we’ve completed chapter 14, we now start on chapter 15: “And I
saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven
last plagues; for in them is completed the wrath of Yahweh. And I saw as it were
a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the
beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand
on the sea of glass, having the harps of Yahweh.”
You’ll
find that a more nearly correct translation doesn’t say they “stand on this sea
of glass.” Rather it says “they stand beside it.” What then would be a “sea of
glass mingled with fire”? Probably some of you know that one of the products of
a volcano is volcanic glass, obsidian, usually black in color. Thus, a sea of
glass mingled with fire would be a pretty good description of a great lava flow.
Therefore, the judgment which is coming upon the earth might well be likened to
a lava flow, and these who had gotten the victory over the beast were standing
beside, not on, this lava flow, for they were not harmed by it: “And they sing
the song of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great
and marvellous are thy works, Yahweh
Elohim Almighty; just and true are
thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Yahweh, and glorify
thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and
worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.” [See note #15 at end of lesson.]
Consequently,
we definitely are at the edge of a final period of Yahweh’s judgment. You
remember, there were these seven seals that were opened, each revealing a
different stage of the judgment. The opening of the seventh seal was again
subdivided into the blowing of seven trumpets. The seventh trumpet having
sounded, we come to a subdivision again into the seven last plagues. Clearly
nothing short of the great judgments of Yahweh are going to get the people who
have control of the world today out of their positions of power. Not only are
the great bulk of the people entirely helpless to do anything about it, but the
great bulk of the people have been brainwashed so that they don’t even want to
do anything about it. Thus, it’s the judgment of Yahweh. All this is perfectly
consistent with what the Bible has been talking about from the beginning. We
read at Isaiah 26, verse 9: “With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea,
with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the
world will learn righteousness.” Again, at Ezekiel 39, verse 21, quoting the
words of Yahweh Himself: “And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the
heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid
upon them.” [See note #16 at end of
lesson.]
Now
there can be no crime without a criminal, no wickedness without some wicked
person to see that it’s done, and that is why merely putting Band-Aids on the
wound afterward hasn’t gotten us anywhere. We’ve not been eliminating the
source. But this judgment is one that’s going to remove the cause of all this:
these Edomite Jews. Isaiah 34, verse 5, again quoting the words of Yahweh: “For
my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea

pointed out to you before that wherever the Bible uses the term “waters”,
symbolically it is always a symbol for great masses of people. The people of the
world in general are often spoken of as the sea. A people in motion, or a great
invading army, is often spoken of as an overflowing river. Hence, when the
Russian invasion comes it will overflow them. When we studied the 38th and 39th
chapters of Ezekiel, we saw that it pointed out

and 1973, the world political scene has changed considerably, and we can see
where some of his conclusions have turned out quite differently. Nevertheless,
overall he did quite well.
There’s
no way to stop that flood coming through, overflowing the very place where the
Jews have said, “We now hold the strategic center of the world.” The ordinary
Russian knows who his oppressors are. He doesn’t dare say so because so-called

You
can see that the only thing remaining ahead is to identify what each of these
seven last plagues were, and that’s too big a subject to get started on tonight.
[At this time there is a question from the audience,
asking about the smoke of Yahweh. Answer:] The smoke of the glory of
Yahweh. Well, the Bible speaks of that in other places. The tabernacle in the
wilderness, the original tent tabernacle during the march of the Exodus, when
the presence of Yahweh came into it, it was filled with vapor. On the dedication
of Solomon’s temple, when Yahweh accepted the dedication of it and His presence
was manifest there, again it was filled with vapor. The glory of Yahweh is a
tremendous concentration of electrical energy. After all, He is the originator
and force of all energy, and basically it is electrical in its nature. You’ll
remember, Moses saw a bush burning and yet not consumed by the flames, and he
went over to see what it was. Yahweh spoke to him out of this burning bush.
People who like to consider themselves scientifically educated like to scoff at
that and say, “Who ever heard of fire that doesn’t burn?” For several hundred
years in the past, anybody who was a sailor on one of the old tall-masted
sailing ships could tell you about it because he had seen it many times, St.
Elmo’s fire. When there was a thundercloud overhead and that tremendous
electrical potential was getting ready to jump that gap in lightning, clear to
the top of the mast, you had streamers of electrical fire discharging. But when
you had that, the ship was never struck by lightning, because the terrific
charge built up there was discharged before you got the great smashing discharge
of lightning.
Anybody
who’s done much mountain climbing realizes that sometimes when you’ve been upon
a high peak and a thunderstorm came up, and you’ve had to get down to a lower
level hastily because the very rocks around them sputter and crackle and it was
getting to the point where the electrical potential was almost at the point of
jumping the gap of the lightning discharge. If you’ll look it up in any
scientific text book, or even a good encyclopedia article, like Collier’s Encyclopedia for example,
under St. Elmo’s fire it mentions the fact that these discharges, electrical
corona discharges of a blue-violet streamer-like flame, have been known to cover
as much as an acre in area at one time. Hence, here, with all the terrific
concentration of electrical energy which the presence of Yahweh would bring,
there it was manifest. It wasn’t an oxidizing flame as it didn’t burn the bush.
Now a characteristic that is often noted is that if there’s much humidity, the
moisture in the air is often condensed into a fog so that you would have the
same phenomenon indicated there, where the presence of Yahweh was abiding. With
this enormous electrical charge, it would fog up the atmosphere, and anybody who
would go into it, of course, would do so at his own peril. [End of Comparet’s Lesson #11.]

were protected, sealed from the tribulations which came upon the oikoumenê at Rome’s fall, and here they

of Babylon – the tribulations of this age about to come (and coming already),

special, there is no Scriptural basis to connect them to any so-called
“millennium administration.” These 144,000 are not going to be “reaped”, they

No Israelite could possibly go “beyond that possibility” of forgiveness and
salvation, for “all Israel shall be saved” (Rom. 11:26), and salvation is
national, not individual, as is evident from the words of Yahshua Himself, i.e.
Matt. 25:32 ff. and also Isaiah 45:17, 25 (“all the seed of Israel shall be
justified”), and see also Zech. 9:1, Rev. 21:12 et. al. There is nothing that
indicates that any Israelite should suffer eternal punishment – but only the
enemies. Rather, before the fulfillment, every Israelite will surely turn to
Yahweh. W.R.F.

The Book of Hebrews certainly was written by Paul, and sufficient internal
evidence of this lies in the words found at Hebrews 13:19-26 alone. Personally,
I find Paul’s other epistles to be sometimes difficult, but never obscure. It’s
the translators who do not understand, or even believe Paul’s words who have
rendered them in an obscure manner, obfuscating many otherwise clear and direct
statements. Paul’s approach is different in Hebrews only because of the content
of the epistle and the different perspective of his intended audience. Note that
Paul wrote to Hebrews, i.e. true Israelites, and not “to Judaeans” (i.e. Jews).

I don’t think that it was ever an intention that the Gospel was to be preached
to any of the non-Adamic races, not even for a witness. Indeed “the preaching of
the cross is to them that perish foolishness”, and I add it is utterly senseless
and vain (1 Cor. 1:18), for no good could possibly become of it. Rather, the
witness is to the Israel Nations and the other Genesis 10 Adamic Nations (i.e.
Paul among the Ionian Greeks at Athens at Acts chapter 17, and the resurrection
of the other Adamic Nations, for which see Matt. 12:41-42, Luke 11:31-32). The
non-Adamic peoples, except for the children of the Adversary and those places
where non-Adamites are referred to as “beasts”, are simply not considered in the
Bible, not considered at all, except as a force for destruction. The Bible
instead demands that we keep these beasts (the other races) out of our world
completely! W.R.F.

Anyone who doubts the Babylonian origination of our modern economic system
should go to the library and find The
Georgetown Law Journal, volume 71 Number 4, April 1983, and read the article
“The Shetar’s Effect on English Law – A law of the Jews Becomes the Law of the
Land” on page 1179, a well-documented article even though written by a jewess,
one Judith A. Shapiro. The article shows that the foundations for our modern
commercial laws were derived from the Shetar, as the Jews only lent money at
usury, a practice alien to the Saxon, and so the Saxon had no such laws
governing moneylending. The Shetar is, of course, found in the Babylonian
Talmud, as the article admits (p. 1182). W.R.F.

Comparet has committed a serious error in his interpretation of Rev. 14:14-20,
for he has followed along with a mistranslation in the A.V. which even Thayer
supports – although Thayer does not offer a basis for his support. The “ripe” of
Revelation 14:18 is from the Greek verb trugaô (5166), which means “to gather in” a crop. It is from the
Greek noun trugê which means “ripe fruit ... the vintage” (Liddle
& Scott). But the word translated “ripe” at 14:15, a word translated “ripe”
only here, is from the verb xârainô
(3583), which means “to parch up, dry
up ... Passive to become or be dry, parched ...” and is often
translated “to wither” in both the A.V. New Testament and in Brenton’s Septuagint. Note Lamentations 4:8,
Ezekiel 17:9-10 and 19:12-13, and Isaiah 42:13-15, where this is the verb used
in the LXX. All of Isaiah 42:1-16 may
be compared to Rev. 14; Note Isaiah 42:10 and Rev. 14:3. This verb is also used
in the N.T. at Matt. 13:6, Mark 4:6 and Luke 8:6, among other places, but
notably at Matt. 21:19-20 and John 15:6.
Knowing
this, we see that this first harvest is certainly not that of the first fruits,
which, I hope to already have explained well enough, has already happened long
ago. Rather, this first harvest of Rev. 14 is the harvest of the “withered”, the
harvest of the tares, which Comparet rightly says is performed by Yahshua Christ
Himself. So, we have the harvest of the wheat and the tares, where the tares are
gathered first (Matt. 13:36-43), and once Rev. 14:15 is translated correctly we
see that it agrees quite well with Paul’s statements at 2 Thes. 2:8: “and then
will the lawless be revealed, whom Prince Yahshua will destroy with the breath
of His mouth, and abolish at the manifestation of His presence.” Note that there
is much blood flowed from the ripe grapes of Rev. 14:17-20, and so in contrast
to those of 14:15, these here are not “withered” at all.
Another
Greek word from xâros (dry, withered)
and ampelos (a vine), is xârampelinos, which Liddle & Scott
define “of the color of withered vine
leaves, bright red.” Remembering that the tares are red when ripe, and that
the color of Esau is red (

Comparet quotes not “Jeremiah” here, but Isaiah 3:9, but nevertheless the
message is directed to the same group of people. W.R.F.

The departure of the Israelites from their orders to destroy all of the
Canaanite peoples surely occurred, but not as abruptly as Comparet makes it out
to be. For instance, the destruction of Jericho is related in Joshua chapter 6,
and later, in chapter 8, Ai is captured and its inhabitants all put to the
sword, as they also did at Makkedah (10:28), Libnah (10:30), Lachish (10:33),
Eglon (10:35), Hebron (10:37), Debir (10:39) etc. So Comparet has somewhat
overmagnified

“Thorns in our eyes”, as Joshua 23:13 has it, is a fitting analogy, for that
would cause blindness. It is also fitting that after His great discourse
concerning the nature of the enemy given in John 8, and before His great
discourse concerning the sheep and the Good Shepherd given in John 10, Yahshua
heals a man who was “blind from birth” in John 9. We too, once blind, are no
longer, once we understand His words in John chapters 8 and 10! Note John 9:39.
As long as we believe the Jews, and not the Christ, we shall remain blind! W.R.F.

The Greek word in question here, epi
(1909) in certain contexts may mean “by”, but such would not be natural, not
even here. para (3844) is naturally
“by” or “besides.” With the verb “to stand” here, I could only render epi as “upon” and certainly not “by” as
Comparet tries to explain it. The word “on”, describing the crown of gold on the
head of the angel, at Rev. 14:14, is also epi. W.R.F.

First, the word translated “heathen” at Ezekiel 39:21-23 is plural and would
better be translated “nations.” Yet the LXX reads here “And will set my glory
among you, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have wrought ...”
Yahweh certainly will not set His glory among the non-Adamic races!
“Nations” is usually instead “Gentiles” in the A.V., but sometimes “heathen.”
Early in the Bible, the word refers to the Genesis 10 Adamic nations, unless
otherwise specified. Later it refers to the Israel nations, but sometimes in
context it must be translated “heathen”, referring to those outside of The
Faith, Adamic or not. W.R.F.

The Edomite Jews alone do not represent all of the children of the serpent in
the world, for so do all the other Arab (mixed) races, and there are direct
prophecies elsewhere foreboding the destruction of many of them, also. Yet one
must realize, that where Yahshua stated “Every plant which my heavenly Father
hath not planted, shall be rooted up”, the only plant which the Bible tells us
that He planted is the white Adamic race, and all others here have no future.
This scenario is again related at Matt. 25, for only the Adamic are the “sheep
nations”, and all others are “goat nations” pending total destruction. W.R.F.

I cannot fault Comparet for believing that the events of Ezekiel 38-39 would
unfold with Soviet Russia during the so-called Cold War. Having knowledge of
Israel Identity and being an adult in that time, I’d surely have thought so too.
Today, as the American empire expands itself around the world, while at the same
time enriching the Chinese with one-way trade and the Russians by developing
their natural resources, all while
I
cannot understand where Comparet reads an invasion of Palestine by Russia into
Ezekiel 38-39 anywhere, for it is to be “a land of unwalled villages” (Ezek.
38:11), hardly describing today’s barricaded walls some 60 to 80 feet high
around their Kibbutzim. For Ezekiel
is surely describing one land only,
