I cannot even imagine what Abraham (his new, God given name) must have thought after the Lord God Almighty went up from him (Gen. 17:23) but he got busy that very same day to accomplish what God had told him to do! I suppose when Abraham gathered the males of his clan and told them his intentions a voice, maybe even a chorus of voices, surely shouted; "YOU'RE GOING TO CUT WHAT OFF??? I am sure pupils contracted, eyes squinted, foreheads wrinkled and goose bumps raced! While he was [...]

We do not know what happened to Lot other than he fathered the babies of his 2 daughters which grew up to found the nations of Moab and Ammon who would turn out to be Israel's enemies. The Bible is also silent as to what happened to Lot's daughters. (Gen. 20:1) We do know Abraham journeyed from Hebron toward the south country and dwelled between Kadesh (sanctuary, a place in the desert, a wilderness) and Shur (a desert east of Egypt) and sojourned (to turn aside, shrink in fear, [...]

THE GUESSWORK OF THE CLAY TABLETS ENDS HERE. THE REST OF THIS COMMENTARY IS BASED ON GOD’S WORD IN THE KJV HOLY BIBLE and the definitions are from Strong’s book available in book stores OR from online https://godrules.net/library/kjvstrongs/kjvstrongs. Where mine says kjv you will have to name the type of Bible you use if it is not the KJV Holy Bible. Review: Read (Gen. 17:1-20 esp. V.7, 13 and 19 keyword in all three: everlasting: defined: #1) eternal, always, perpetual and #2 something concealed, to veil) (V.8) #1) is [...]

(Gen. 17:7, 13 & 19 keyword: everlasting) The key to understanding covenant is in the definition of the word everlasting because it means 2 entities, a physical Israel and a spiritual Church. God said; "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed in their generations for an everlasting (defined as: #1 eternal, always, perpetual- the land pointed out for a coming nation and #2 concealed, to veil- something that would be unveiled in the future as part of the everlasting covenant God gave Abraham) [...]

(Matt. 26:56) The disciples had fled when Jesus was killed. (John 20:19) They had scattered then met at some secret place and were now hiding for fear of the Jews. As men will they were worried about themselves first. They had been associated with Someone who said He was King of the Jews, that was rebellion and they were afraid they were hunted men. After much whispered discussion they got around to the subject that hung over them like a dark, crushing, smothering cloud; "Jesus is dead!" "We placed [...]

(Matt. 26:28, 1Cor. 11:23-32 esp. V.25, 2Cor. 3:14 & Heb. 7:22 & 9:14-20 esp. V.15-18 & 20 keyword in all: testament) The NT Greek word covenant (diathe'ke') is defined: testament, a contract. The OT Hebrew word covenant (berith) is defined a compact, a confederacy. (Heb. 9:14-28) Ultimately, they both mean the same thing; a covenant between God and man sealed by the shedding of blood. The Jewish Library contains ancient Jewish documents called Midrash and they contain specific information concerning the steps of the ancient Hebrew Blood Covenant process. As [...]

(Eccl. 1:9) "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." (Rev. 12:9) Satan is identified as the Devil, (Isa. 27:1 keyword: leviathan) the great dragon and that old serpent (Lucifer from Eden) so all names apply to the same being. Someplace along Satan's endeavors, from subverting Eve and Adam in Eden, because of his pride and jealousy, on to when he decided to take God's throne [...]

Summary to here: In the past Satan had spiritually done a magnificent job in helping mankind spiritually corrupt himself by his physical acts and his emotional search for spiritual fulfillment. He had helped man institute the method of murder to achieve man's perceived needs (Parts 4, 5 & 6). He had helped man institute idolatry and the beginnings of the Babylonian worship system (Parts 11 & 12). He had helped bring about tribalism and racism (Parts 13 & 14) and they would go hand in hand with man's idolatry. [...]

NOTE: All enhancements of scripture; underlining, highlighting, and etc. are the writers. Obviously some of this information is taken from archaeological finds, ancient Roman, Greek, Hebrew and Christian records and also ancient and modern maps. Where scripture is used as the basis the scripture will be given. (Rev. 1:3-4) This prophecy was and is from Jesus, (Rev. 1:11) the seven churches are named by Jesus (Rev. 1:19-20) and Jesus starts His prophecy. Why is it an exact prophecy spoken in Jesus' words? (Read these->Matt. 25:1-13 esp. V.6) Because Jesus, [...]

(Eccl. 1:9) "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." The first traces of a settlement at what would become Smyrna were discovered in a mound that dates back 3,000 years. Obviously Smyrna was settled long before the flood by a group of people who had wandered away from the valley of the "Great House of the God of Eden" (Part 5) and that mound is [...]
