Dr. Miles Jones is a Ph.D.
in Linguistics and he was absolutely fascinated after the episodes that we did
with Nehemia Gordon.
In fact, I called him on the phone and we talked for hours and hours and knew that
this conversation was not going to end at the end of the day, that we had to have
him in.
And he is the one who has translated the inscriptions at Sinai and provided the
evidence to the world of what was done at Sinai and the beginnings of language and
the alphabet that is embedded at that mountain.
It was, as we were talking about the work that Nehemia was doing, Miles and I were
discussing this and it was more than 20 years ago that I had George Howard's
Hebrew Matthew.
This is something that I accessed.
But Nehemia Gordon took a look at it and realized that it wasn't right.
There were things that George Howard, he did the correct Hebrew, but he didn't
translate the Hebrew.
He translated things according to what he already thought and already understood.
But Nehemia Gordon isn't reading George Howard's book with the Hebrew Matthew.
He is reading manuscripts.
He's reading ancient manuscripts, the handwritten works of Shemtov's Hebrew
Matthew and he immediately identified the problem that had so plagued me.
That is, Yeshua said to the multitude, two days before the crucifixion,
the scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
Whatsoever they command you to do and observe, that do and observe.
Well, that's exactly how George Howard translated it.
It's how the King James, but that's not what it said in the Hebrew.
And Nehemia Gordon, once he found the answer to that, he then went on a search
and from that time found more than 15 other ancient Hebrew manuscripts of the
Gospel of Matthew and that set him on a journey of understanding and finding other
manuscripts of the Gospels in Hebrew.
Well, he's not the only one.
Ladies and gentlemen, Miles Jones is back with us and Miles Jones and Nehemia have
gotten together on this very task of finding and also discovering and
dissecting the Hebrew manuscripts of the Gospels and you are in for the treat of
your life.
Miles, it's good to have you back with us.
This is truly an exciting adventure because these manuscripts that are now
coming to the forefront, they haven't been seen in hundreds of years.
They haven't been accessed.
Scholarship has completely ignored them as if they don't exist and these are from
Jewish believers who are recording the Gospels.
Right.
Try 2,000 years.
They haven't been seen for 2,000 years.
In fact, the church, everyone, every scholar out there will swear that
they do not exist.
The first of them was Hebrew Matthew for a long time and that's been known since the
15th century or 14th century when it was written in Spain and that has been known.
And this was copied by a Jewish physician, Shem Tov Ibn Shaprut, who copied the
Hebrew Matthew into his book, Evan Lohan, which is the touchstone.
And so they would have a way to not only converse but win their arguments against
the Roman Catholics who were persecuting them and killing them if they did not win
the debates with them.
Right.
They were setting up debates with them and if they lost the debate, they and their
whole community would have to convert or be killed.
So he was writing a book on how to debate them.
This is what they will say and this is what you say.
That's why they had to rewrite it.
Rewrite.
But he said there was a Hebrew Matthew.
Right.
And so they wrote in the language that not only was originally written in but they
could understand because they could read Hebrew.
Right.
Because it was written in Hebrew and he added in notes.
Take the notes out.
You have a copy of Hebrew Matthew and from a copy that he said was extant of the
Hebrew Gospels.
And he also said he was going to do Mark, Luke and John, but we... But we don't have
them.
We don't have them.
Not from Shem Tov.
Right.
But a century later, another manuscript and Nehemia has done that and I want to
mention that in that very Hebrew document that you have of George Howard,
it said in the Moses seat, they sit in the Moses seat and you should do as they say.
That's how George Howard translated it.
That's not what it says in the Hebrew in that very book you have in your hand.
It says, but do what he says.
He, Moses says, do what Moses says to do.
Because they're corrupt.
They will lay on you things that they won't even try and do but they'll lay them
on you.
And that clears up that whole really important aspect of it.
That one word.
Right.
And George Howard did not do it faithfully.
Right.
And you take a look at the... and Nehemia, correct me if I'm wrong, but he's not
looking at George Howard's typeface.
He's looking at the manuscripts.
Well, he does know the manuscripts, but it's in that book.
It's true.
In George Howard's copy, it says... George Howard acknowledged...
Listen to what he says, not what they say.
So it's different between what he says and what they say.
So it's in there, but he also... there were 14 manuscripts of Hebrew Matthew that
were out at that time and he's read all of them.
He's the leading expert in this.
So anyone who's going to criticize him about his knowledge of Hebrew Matthew,
well, I think you need to study the documents out there.
Not only that, but he discovered 28 more manuscripts that were extant.
And this took him, what, 20 years almost?
18 years?
That's right.
18 years from when I first posed the question to him at my home in Israel and
got him on it.
And that discovery continues on to this very day.
It hasn't stopped.
You put him on the scent of something and he never gives up.
He will burn the house down looking for the truth.
And that's what I love about him.
He's the most honest scholar that I know that I've ever met in Israel.
A very honest scholar and that's why I trust him.
I agree.
He's earned that trust.
He has.
He's a real searcher for truth.
And remember, he's a Jew and he's coming up with all this evidence for the Hebrew
Gospels.
What does that take?
Right?
And if it's there, it's there.
He says it like it is, right?
And he's cleared up several other discrepancies we have from the Greek
Gospels, from the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, from these different documents
that he's dug up.
That was the first one.
That was the first manuscript.
Right.
And then he solved the genealogy problem by the oldest extent Hebrew manuscripts of
the Gospel of Matthew that have the correct lineage of Yeshua in them.
And how many others...
he has even, of recent, found Hebrew Gospels and he has presented the documents
in photographic evidence into the land of Israel and they didn't want them.
They said, you know, oh, that's a new test.
But we don't want that.
Which is a really important point because when you see a Hebrew Gospel out there,
it's not the Gentile Christians doing it.
This is the most targeted manuscript in the history of the world, targeted for
extinction.
And it's not the Jews that are doing it because they were destroying the Hebrew
Gospels too.
When you see a Hebrew Gospel out there, it's not the Messianic scribes that are
doing it.
It traces the survival of the Messianic church throughout the centuries.
Church history says it was extinguished in the 4th century, but it was not.
It existed underground up to this day and we are the inheritors of that.
People that would not give up, no matter how many people were martyred,
they would not give up and they carried the Hebrew Gospels with them, translated
into other languages like Catalan, like Old Italic in the Waldensian Bible,
like Old French in the case of the Cathar Bible, but they're translated.
And I've studied this.
And these are languages that you're familiar with, with the Spanish,
with the French.
And here we are in North Carolina right now and just north of us is Valdez,
North Carolina.
This is the Waldensians who escaped Europe because the Roman Catholics were not only
just burning their manuscripts, the Bibles that they had, their
handwritten manuscripts, but then the people in the community were assigned to
memorize it, they reassembled it, wrote it back down again, and when the
Roman Catholic Church found out what they were doing, they went in and started
killing the people so that the Scriptures would be lost.
That is how virulent, how violent, how demonically spirited that religious
system was and they escaped Europe and came to North Carolina where they would
find freedom and they are just a little bit north of us here in Charlotte.
So we're going to trace some of these things are we not?
Right, and that's what we talked about in the history of the underground church,
which has never been told before.
Never, never.
Well this is your field and so let's start out before we get into the underground
church because as we talked about this, I think we're going to have to do an
episode just on that.
The underground believers and tracing the Hebrew Gospels through them into these
different languages because you have explored that and you're currently writing
a book on this if I'm not mistaken.
Right, it's called Sons of Zion versus the Sons of Greek.
The battle between the Hebrews and the Greeks throughout history.
These are the two most literate societies the world has ever known, historically has
ever known.
And it came from the alphabet at Sinai.
The Hebrews had it.
They passed it on to the Greeks, sparking them to become one of the
earliest literate societies as well.
So and that sparked in turn the Renaissance and science and medicine,
mathematics, what we call the template of western civilization, the model of western
civilization came from the catalyst of the alphabet in ancient Greece and that came
from the Hebrews and it's a direct transfer of the Hebrew alphabet.
The same letters, the same names as the Semitic alphabet, you know, the Greek
alphabet came from the Hebrew alphabet.
So that's the catalyst.
That's traceable.
I mean, there's no question about that.
But we have the Hebrew Gospels.
The most important thing about it is that this was the authority of the church,
the Greek church, later on the Roman church, the Latin church, the authority of
the church itself in the early days was vested in the language of Scripture.
The most authentic Scripture was written in Greek, then the capital of God's
kingdom is in Constantinople.
If the most authentic, earliest manuscripts of the Bible are in Latin,
then the capital of God's kingdom is in Rome.
But if the most authentic manuscripts of the Bible, including the New Testament,
are in Hebrew, then the capital of God's kingdom is in Jerusalem where it says it
is in Scripture.
Think about this.
Every author of the books in the New Testament is said to be Hebrew,
said to be a Hebrew.
And yet they would have us believe that every original manuscript of the New
Testament is in Greek.
That no longer flies.
We have the epistles of James and Jude, which were the brothers of Yeshua in
Hebrew in the British Museum.
We have the Hebrew Gospels in Hebrew, the earliest word.
A lot of the Greek, there were a lot of errors in the early Greek documents and
these were corrected from the Hebrew Gospels that were still out there.
St. Jerome translated them.
He was the one who translated them in the fourth century into Greek and into Latin,
correcting them from the Hebrew Gospels like the story of the women taken in
adultery.
That was not in the earliest Greek manuscripts.
It made it in there because it was corrected from the Hebrew Gospels and
many, many other things.
Yeah, and actually in the different Greek manuscripts, it has it in different
places.
Yes, it does.
This situation that Nehemia really started when he unveiled the Vatican junk box and
the Hebrew Gospels in that, I mean, this is a firestorm that is going on out
there because it is upsetting the apple cart.
It is upsetting what the world has been telling us is the primary documents and
this is the foundation of replacement theology.
You've got to throw the Jews out of the house that Yeshua built in order to come
up with this new replacement theology.
It's called election.
You know, the Gentile church, the Greek church said everything that the book
claims for Israel is ours because the Jews killed Yeshua.
They killed God, right?
The Romans killed God.
And he said that.
I will be delivered into the hands of the Gentiles and the Gentiles will kill me.
Three Gospels say it, but we know that the Pope and the Roman Catholic church are
basically illiterate.
They don't listen to what Yeshua has to say.
They take nothing that he says.
They just want to make up their own stories.
And by making up their own stories, then we're eventually going to get the day
of Pentecost happening in an upper room and we're somehow going to baptize 3,000
people in Peter's toilet or the toilet down the street because there's no mikvah
in the upper room.
You know, they had to get it off the Temple Mount.
God has to get something new started.
But we want to get past all that.
All the nonsense we inherited.
Distortions like that do happen when there's a doctrinal element that people
know and they know that is the way it is.
It gets written into the Gospel when it's copied because they know that's the way it
is.
Or in this case, it's purely interpreted into it.
Because the Pentecost didn't happen in the upper room.
That's just where they were abiding.
They were living, but they were in the Temple, in the house of prayer on the day
of Pentecost.
But again, we take our Gentile mentality, we take a replacement theology and
interpret it back into a scripture that was written by Luke who is in the
synagogue in Antioch when Barnabas goes up there... Miles, we have to tell that
story.
Let's take it back from the beginning in your research on this because Nehemia has
just stirred the hornet's nest out there a little bit by showing some of these Hebrew
manuscripts.
But you've been on this track for some time.
And so I want you to start where you feel that we need to go to establish these
early manuscripts and that tradition.
Well, Nehemia started with the oldest one.
Now, the manuscript that I have is the Hebrew Gospels from Catalan, which would
be the second oldest one, which came from the same source as George Howard's Hebrew
Matthew, except it has Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all in Hebrew.
Now, the stunner here is that all the church fathers said Matthew is written in
Hebrew, all of them.
Right, there's no controversy on that at all.
Well, there is.
Sorry, there is.
There shouldn't be.
Intelligent, intelligent controversy.
Remember, that's what I say.
The whole house of cards falls down and it's a Greek primacy.
All of the original documents of the Bible are written in Greek and that was the most
authentic document.
Right, and even though Matthew was a Levite.
It's a great spin, but it's not true.
Yeah, but Matthew was definitely written in Hebrew.
All the early church fathers say so.
There are 80 quotations from it.
Even in the Codex Sinaiticus, there are Scalia, there are notes in the margin that
says, yes, but in the Hebrew Gospel, it says this.
Right?
So, there are notes in the Codex Sinaiticus itself, the oldest Greek copy
of the Bible that we have, the oldest copy, complete copy of the Bible that we
have.
The stunner is that Luke also appears to have been originally written in Hebrew
because many of these, there are 80 quotations from the Hebrew Gospels and
many of them don't come from Matthew.
They come from Luke.
In fact, it says the beginning of the Hebrew Gospel says, in the days of Herod
king of Judea.
Well, in Luke, you read the first four verses, it's called the prologue.
It basically said, this is a copy that I made for you that I got.
It was written by those who were originally preachers of the Word who took
it in hand to write this document and give it to me.
It says it's a copy, right?
It says it's a copy.
That's the first four verses of Luke.
Well, guess what?
In the document that's originally, you don't start off by saying it's a copy.
In the Hebrew Gospels, there are no first four verses of Luke because it's not a
copy.
It's an original document written in Hebrew.
And guess what the first verse says?
Verse five says...
There was in the days of Herod...
In the days of Herod, king of Judea.
That is what they claimed was the beginning.
Now, this is written by the church fathers in the early centuries, you know,
who wrote about it.
And there are many other quotations of that.
Well, let me read it right from the King James.
For as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those
things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto
us, which were from the beginning eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
he also is taking this in hand to do this and putting this in order.
And so, literally, the Gospel of Luke is in chronological order.
Matthew's not set up that way, but Luke is set up in chronological order.
And that's... Now, I want you to tell us where Luke, because where we are going to
come from in theological cemetery is Luke is a Gentile physician.
And as soon as I read Luke, I say, this man knows things about the Torah and
in the book of the Kings that no Gentile could possibly have imagined.
And when he sets it in order, he's going to do this according to the creator's
reckoning of time, not according to a Greek understanding.
And so, tell us about Luke and what we know about Luke from Jerome.
He knows far too much to be a Gentile.
No, trust me, he knows far too much.
But we don't have to even take that as the last word.
Clement of Alexandria said that the letter to the Hebrews by Saul, Paul, was indeed
originally written in Hebrew.
And guess who it was that later translated into Greek?
It was Luke.
And Paul mentions Luke already as one of the author of a gospel.
All right?
So this was in Paul's time.
Paul was early, right?
So Luke got it from the... Luke was secondhand.
He did not know the Messiah himself personally, but he got it written
documentation in Hebrew from those who were eyewitnesses to the Lord.
And he wrote his gospel based upon that.
And he did it in order.
Several had set their hand to this, to record these things, but what he wanted
to do is what I really desire to do, is to put things in chronological order so
they could be understood.
And so using Luke as the basis for this, then I put every single word of every
gospel author in that pocket of the chronological order based on the biblical
reckoning of time, which Luke establishes these things.
And we'll go into some detail on that because it's important for people to
understand where he's coming from.
What you do is a monumental work, and I know it took you decades to do that.
And in my book, I work on that and do some work with it to prove that the gospel of
John 6-4 does not fit the witness of the other gospels.
So that is a long-term piece of work.
Well, I appreciate that.
Nehemia is also working on that because the 26th and 27th edition of the
Nestle-Allen Critical Greek Text says that John 6-4 doesn't appear in such and
others.
And so what these and others are seem to be insignificant to the Gentile Christian
world, but they're not insignificant because it's the Word of God.
And if it wasn't in these other manuscripts, then what are these other
manuscripts?
They don't even, by the time of Nestle-Allen, they don't even bother
mentioning it because it doesn't matter to them that the scripture doesn't work.
It doesn't fit.
It's not in chronological order.
It can't be proven.
The rest of John fits.
Oh, absolutely.
The Greek copyist, if it was not Eusebius himself, got that wrong and identified it
as a feast of the Jews.
What most people don't know is that John was written in the third person.
It was probably not written by John.
It was written by John the Presbyter, perhaps, or the Joannine community.
John the Presbyter was his annuensis, his scribe, and it was put together later
after his death.
So that's why it's written in the third person.
But the church needed to have a Greek gospel written by an apostle to balance
the Hebrew gospel written by Matthew.
They needed that badly.
Okay, now let's go to Luke.
What's our evidence for Luke?
Where was Luke?
Well, Luke was living, and it says in Hebrew, the preface is by St. Jerome.
Remember he trained translated it from Hebrew into Greek and Latin and left these
prefaces to Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
And in the preface, it says that Luke was a doctor from Syria and he sat in Antioch.
There it is.
That's clear that he's talking about where he lived.
He lived in Antioch in Syria, right?
Okay.
But it was mistranslated and he translated that into Catalan and then it was
translated from Catalan back into Hebrew, which clarifies it because the word to sit
and to dwell in Hebrew is the same word, yashav.
So when they were translating into Catalan, they mistranslated yashav as to
sit.
Okay, okay.
That's understandable.
It's like when we go into English.
Not understanding this Hebrew word, there can be, according to Strong's,
about six different usages.
So they picked the most obscure things sometimes and used that.
But there's things like this that show you the subtext.
I'm a linguist.
Look, I can tell you if there are idioms in the language that don't make any sense
in the language they've been translated in, but they do make sense in Hebrew,
Hebrew is the subtext.
This is the document it came from.
Right.
So that's what we're looking at here.
All right.
We can establish that it came from a Hebrew subtext.
George Howard said the same thing.
Linguistically, you can see that.
Historically, we see that it was at the time that the apostles were, there was a
great persecution that was going on, and it was just a few apostles that were
in Jerusalem.
Everyone else was being scattered.
Then we have Barnabas that comes in, Barnaba, who is the son of the prophet.
That's what it means in Arabic, excuse me, in Aramaic.
Well, it is Barnaba that goes to Syria.
He goes to Antioch.
And what does it say when they go to Antioch and the apostles are moving out?
That they preached only in the synagogues.
So what did he do?
He went up to Antioch, and that is where he dwelt in Antioch.
And then Barnaba went from there and went down and got Shaul out of Tarsus and
brought him back to Antioch, and that is where the word of God flourished in that
area.
So that we've got Luke, who we know was in Antioch, and where was he?
He was where all the Jews were, in the synagogues.
He spoke Hebrew.
He wrote Hebrew.
And this is why Barnabas went up there to Antioch.
Get out of there and get among the Jews in Syria.
And Barnaba, Aramaic, that's the empire he came from.
And so now we have, even if he was a Gentile, if he was at one time,
he certainly is a proselyte who is linked up to the synagogue system.
And now we have the evidence in the Gospel of Luke, this man knows the scripture like
no Gentile would have had an opportunity.
Well, this is a really important point.
These people took with them the Hebrew Gospels.
Now Mark and John may have been written originally in Greek, but they were
translated into Hebrew.
We know that.
The early church fathers say so.
Jerome says there are copies of John in Hebrew and Acts in Hebrew in the library
in Tiberias in Caesarea.
So he says that, unless you have any reason to doubt his word, they were there
and a compilation of the Hebrew Gospel was made.
Matthew originally in Hebrew, Luke originally in Hebrew.
Later when they translated into Greek, they added some more.
So it's kind of a hybrid.
They added some more information in Greek from other sources.
But Luke was originally written in Hebrew as well.
So they took this with them and the Hebrew Gospels have been cited in the patristic
literature.
They've been cited in Alexandria, in Egypt, in the south of France,
in India, in Yemen, in Constantinople, and in Spain.
Everywhere.
It went everywhere.
In Syria, everywhere.
And this was even before the Roman church even came into existence.
The word had spread to the ends of the earth using the Hebrew Gospels by means of
going to the synagogues that were everywhere.
The Jews were everywhere.
And they would go to the synagogue.
That was their pattern.
They would go to the synagogue and they would teach these people in Hebrew.
Now they had been given the gift of tongues so they spoke to the Gentiles
everywhere as well but they went first to the synagogues to carry the word.
That's where they were welcomed.
So that's what happened and that's the story that has been pretty much covered
over in the rush to Greek primacy to prove everything came from the Greek which is
ridiculous.
Well, we're going to continue to explore this and to be able to trace, according to
your book that's coming out, be able to trace the believers and the persecution to
the underground believers and who was persecuting them.
In the 1980s, Ron Wyatt and Jim and Penny Caldwell risked their lives to find the
real Mount Sinai in the barren desert of Saudi Arabia.
Today, their work is rapidly expanding biblical understanding and weaving
together a prophetic tapestry with ancient documents tucked away in the Vatican.
These are the greatest evangelistic tools that we've ever had in our hands to show
people the reality of the Scriptures.

We have approximately 5,000 extant manuscripts of the Greek New Testament.
And in that we have over 250,000 variations.
Part of that is due to it being in Koine Greek, which is common street Greek,
defiled Greek.
It's not in the king's Greek, so to speak.
And so it's going to vary in different areas as it's being transmitted in
different areas because different areas of the empire, it goes from Macedonia to the
Indus River.
The language is going to change.
They're going to use different words in different areas.
But the most important words for us to understand and translate correctly are the
words of the prophet whom we must hear and obey.
The words in the Torah and the prophets, they're pretty clear.
They're pretty plain.
But when we get into the words of Yeshua, he says things on such a deep,
deep meaning.
And since we must hear and obey him, and those who refuse to hear and obey him
will be destroyed from among the people.
They will be judged according to their compliance with the words of the prophet.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's why the most important words and why I did the
chronological gospels is I wanted to have Yeshua's words in context, in
chronological order, and to do the very best that I could after a lifetime of
research of putting them in not only an order, but to have the verbiage that
communicates the real heart and the real spirit of what Yeshua was communicating to
his people.
Now we have the Hebrew Gospels.
Miles Jones has been on this track.
Nehemia Gordon is digging into the Vatican junk box and pulling out things that we
could only dream about 20, 30, 40, now 50 years ago when I began this
journey.
And now we have Miles Jones with us.
Miles, take us the rest of the way.
We want to know what we've got as far as the Gospels and the Hebrew origins.
Well, the first thing you've got to recognize is that this is the most haunted
manuscript in history targeted for extinction.
Now, they're not going to burn you anymore, but they are going to call it,
first of all, they'll call it either a fraud or a translation.
So if it's a translation from the Latin or the Greek, it's nothing new.
Well, we can prove now.
I can prove beyond that.
Yeah, they want that to happen.
They want it to just be a translation.
And they will say that without ever investigating it at all, immediately,
without ever reading it or seeing it.
Knee-jerk reaction.
We've got to preserve Greek primacy of the Bible.
Well, you know, Yeshua was not a Greek, and in many ways, they have turned him
into a Greek, into the Greek Christ.
And there are things about that that are not exactly the way they were.
And it's not necessarily purposeful.
It's the nature of the beast.
Translation is not exact.
It just isn't.
Something is going to be added.
Something is going to be taken away because you're filtering it through a
Greek filter of another language, culture and way of thinking.
And so you end up with a Greek Jesus.
But the Messiah was not Greek.
He was Hebrew.
So if you want to understand Him and His word view and His words, you've got to go
back to the Hebrew documents, which of course, they say, do not exist.
But Yeshua said, the heavens and earth may pass away, but My words will not pass
away.
And that's what we're seeing.
We're seeing it today.
We're seeing it happen.
We're seeing the new manuscript that He found from the Vatican junk box.
It's only got four pages, but they came from a manuscript.
It's somewhere there in the Vatican.
Someplace in the Vatican.
These are just the pages that fell out that they didn't know what to do with.
They don't know how to read them.
And so it just goes in the junk box.
But He shared them with me and I have authenticated them because I know the
markers of the things that are different in the Hebrew gospel from the Greek
gospel.
So I know, I ascertained that they were indeed from a Hebrew original,
but this is a different manuscript.
Now, I've got to point out something here, Myles, for our audience.
Nehemia is not a New Testament scholar.
He's not a believer in Yeshua.
He comes from an Orthodox background.
He comes from a critical Hebrew background in understanding manuscripts.
But you, on the other hand, your research in your lifetime has been spent in putting
together the gospels and really understanding it from a Christian
perspective.
And so these markers have jumped out.
They've become glowing errors.
And there are a lot of them where you look at it and you know, this was written by a
Greek.
No Jew, no Israelite would say, there was a feast of the Jews and Yeshua
went up to Jerusalem.
They'd say what the feast was.
It was Shavuot.
If you say the feast of the Jews, it means you're not a Jew.
Right, right.
It's always one of those feasts of the Jews.
Shavuot, it means the feast of sevens.
What does that mean to a Greek speaker?
What does it mean to a Christian if you were to say there's a feast of sevens?
They wouldn't even know.
Does a Greek scribe even know the Hebrew feast days?
No.
They don't.
So they make...
It's like a typical Christian knowing nothing about it.
They say Pentecost.
Well, Pentecost isn't the feast.
It just means the 50th.
The 50th of what?
The 50th of the count of the Omer.
What's the Omer?
You know, it's just like, you know, completely vapid.
And that is where we've gotten our theology.
It's a vapid religious system that has been so disconnected from our roots that
we can't even read the Bible and make sense of it anymore.
That's what I say.
It's not important at all unless you want to know the truth of the Word.
If you don't care about the truth of the Word, go with the Greek.
It doesn't matter.
But if you really think the truth of the Word matters, let's get back to the Hebrew
Gospels.
Let's dig in.
And they're here now.
So let's look at them and let's look at some of these things that authenticate it
from being from the first century.
Now, Jerome was the first guy to...
the first scholar to translate it.
And he used the Hebrew Gospels as a basis.
He translated the Latin Vulgate from the documents that are out there, including
the Hebrew.
Right, right.
He said that the Latin was so polluted, they added so much, they had taken away.
And so he wanted to get back to the Word.
So where did he start?
And he called it the fountainhead.
He said there are so many differences in the Greek manuscripts that we have that we
have to get back to the fountainhead.
And he called it the authentic Matthew.
And what he refers, he refers to this in his commentary on Matthew.
One thing of many, but this is one to start with.
We talk about the subtext in Hebrew.
He says that the name of Barabbas, the prisoner that they exchanged for
Yeshua and called for Yeshua's crucifixion, that in the Hebrew Gospels,
he was called the son of the teacher.
That is Barabban.
And Barabbas means the son of the father.
But he was called Barabban, the son of the teacher in the Hebrew Gospels.
Well, what do we have?
And here's the page directly from the Hebrew Gospels from Catalan.
And you can see four times the square around the word Barabban.
Now, how could that be a coincidence or any kind of collusion?
It's certainly not a translation from the Latin, right?
Right, right.
So this is Catalonia.
This is from Spain.
Right, this is from Spain.
Remember the same place where Hebrew Matthew of Shem Tov came from.
And this came from the same source, the same source that that came from
because he said there was a Hebrew Gospels that was extant at that time.
He did the Shem Tov manuscript of Hebrew Matthew from it.
They also translated into the Catalan Gospels.
And later on, it was translated back into Hebrew because you had a burgeoning
messianic church.
I mean, you had hundreds of thousands of messianics.
They had their own schools.
They had their own churches.
They had their own bishops.
They were messianics.
They were true believers.
No one is going to be translating or Greek copying or preserving the Hebrew Gospels
that's not a messianic.
That's right.
Even they would be in danger of death for doing so.
The Christians wanted to burn them.
The Jews wanted to burn them.
The Orthodox, the synagogue Jews.
Speaking of Jews in Spain, 1492, Christopher Columbus, he was a Jew.
He became a believer.
He was a messianic Jew.
He burned his family records so no one would know.
But there's a big story about how Isabella pawned her jewels to finance this
expedition.
It's not what happened.
The messianic and Jewish community, they're the ones who financed the
expedition of Christopher Columbus, which happened August 31st in 1492,
the final day when all the Jews were expelled from Spain and had to leave.
So he left Spain.
He left in his ship.
A ship full of Jews and messianics fleeing the Inquisition or the expulsion.
So a little known story with this part of the underground church that we talked
about.
But the authentication of the Hebrew Gospels, this is one example of the
subtext being in Hebrew.
But it's only one example.
One is a coincidence.
It takes two to be a pattern.
So let's look at this because this is absolutely dynamite.
Jerome also said that in the Hebrew Gospels, you remember at Yeshua's
crucifixion, the veil in the Holy of Holies, the sanctuary was torn in half.
There was an earthquake, darkness, an earthquake and the veil was ripped in
two and was split, which symbolized to the Gentile, the Greek church, that they no
longer had to go through a Jewish priest to get to God, which is great,
right?
And very important to the Gentile church, to the messianic church.
Jerome said in the Hebrew Gospels, it doesn't mention the veil.
It says the huge stone lintel over the inner sanctuary was split in two by the
earthquake.
Now, this doesn't contradict the Greek Gospel because what is hanging beneath the
lintel?
The veil.
So if the lintel broke, it would split the veil as well.
But to them, the defilement of the inner temple, which made it profane from that
moment on, was really significant.
Not only that, the foreshadowing of the destruction of the temple itself,
which happened 40 years later, which both Daniel and Yeshua himself
prophesied.
This was what was important to the messianic church.
So that's what they talked about, right?
But they don't contradict each other.
They just add more detail.
The lintel broke, the temple was...
That's what we see in a lot of Gospels.
We have details from one that's not repeated in the other, but they all tell
the story.
It's like four cameras, a four-camera shoot.
Everything is recording reality, but it's from different perspectives.
You edit them together, and you've got the true story.
The veil was important to the Greeks, not to the messianics.
The splitting of the inner temple and the foreshadowing of the destruction of the
temple, as prophesied by Yeshua, that was what was important to them.
So that's what they wrote about in their Gospel.
And St. Jerome said that.
He said that.
He said it was an early church tradition, and it was in the Hebrew Gospel.
And he said it's recorded three times in Scripture, in Matthew 27, 51, in Mark 15,
38, and in Luke 23, 45.
So I thought, well, I've spent two years putting the verse markings in the Hebrew
Gospels.
I'll go and see what it says.
And lo and behold, what does it say?
Every single one of those Scriptures says that the stones of the temple were split
from top to bottom, from front to back.
That would destroy the lintel.
It was right in the middle.
It would crack the lintel.
It would desecrate the temple.
It would be profane.
Now you could hide it, because it's inside a bigger temple building.
Because the temple was a cash cow.
They weren't going to just say, oh, it's profane now.
We can't take your money anymore.
They were totally, totally corrupt.
But in each one of those, and I'll read them to you here.
In Matthew 27, 51, it says, and behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain.
Well, in the Hebrew Gospels, in the same verse, Matthew 27, 51, it says,
and here the temple was broken on both sides, up and down, and the earthquakes
and the stones split right in the middle.
This is the sanctuary he's talking about.
This is translated as rocks, as if some rocks out on the mountainside were broken
in two.
That's not what he's saying.
He's saying the stones of the temple themselves were split, the inner sanctuary
was split.
Now, in Mark 15, 38, in the King James Version, which is a direct translation
from the Latin, and the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the
bottom.
But in the Hebrew Gospels, Mark 15, 38, it says the temple was broken on both
sides, up and down, from the top to the bottom, from the front to the back.
It was split in two, the inner sanctuary was split in two.
And in Luke 23, 45, in the King James Version, and the sun was darkened,
and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle.
In the Hebrew Gospels from Catalan, it says, and the sun went dark and covered
the temple, and it was split in the middle.
The temple was split in the middle.
So, all three verses confirm what St. Jerome said in the 4th century was in the
Hebrew Gospels itself.
They confirm it.
How can this be any kind of coincidence?
Now, there is more, but can this be possibly coincidence or collusion?
This came from a 1st century document.
This came from the early church document.
And that's as good as evidence gets.
But there is actually more, because what would you need to authenticate a document
like this?
Well, you want a credible ancient source like St. Jerome, doesn't get much more
credible than that, who knows the documents, who can say it.
You need multiple citations, really.
And when you have people that quote this, and those quotations are preserved,
then...
We have quotations from Josephus and from Thallus that say the same thing,
that the inter-sanctuary itself was split.
You also need independent historical confirmation, obviously, if you can find
it.
If you can find it.
Right?
And obviously, you need to have this said that way in the Hebrew Gospels,
which we've already shown that it was.
But there is more to this.
In the Historia Passionis Domini, it says that we read in the Gospel of the
Nazarenes that at the time of Messiah's death, the lintel of the temple of the
mint side has split.
Josephus says the same.
And overhead, awful voices were heard, let us depart from this abode.
This temple was so corrupted.
It was so corrupted.
And the priests were so corrupt that they would actually participate in provoking
the Romans to crucify the Son of God.
So it had to go.
And for the over-spreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate,
as Daniel said.
So over-spreading of abominations were going on in the temple, and that's why the
temple was destroyed.
He shall make it desolate.
Messiah will make it desolate.
It's one of the layers of Daniel.
This is the testimony of Yehovah himself to the crucifixion of him.
So we have confirmation in the Hebrew Gospel, independent historical
confirmation, and the confirmation of St. Jerome, who translated the thing,
that this is the way it is in the Hebrew Gospels.
Now we have a pattern.
This is three verses, not one single reference.
But that brings, puts a lock on it.
You can say that, well, you only have it in the Gospels, so we don't know that this
happened.
But you can say the same thing about the darkness, the earthquake, and the tearing
of the veil, that we only have evidence from the Gospels themselves.
Is there any outside evidence?
Well, the earthquake in Matthew 25, 51, the outer walls of the temple
concealed the damage to the Holy of Holies, and they were able to continue on.
However, an earthquake like that would do other damage probably.
It would not go unnoticed.
We have a historical reference from that time, from this Talmud himself,
that the huge, 40 yards away, the huge, majestic chamber of eunuch stone where the
Sanhedrin met that morning to condemn the Son of God to death for blasphemy.
That was where they did it.
It says in Scripture, that's where they took him at daybreak.
It was the last judgment they ever made.
It was the same day, just hours later.
The Holy of Holies was cracked and the chamber of eunuch stone was rendered
structurally unsound.
It too was cracked and they had to move out of it.
They would have never done this unless they had had to do it by a calamity like
this.
So the judgment against Yeshua was the last thing they ever did in that majestic
chamber.
And we have, it was never reoccupied.
According to the Talmud, it says in Shabbat 15a, 40 years before the
destruction of Jerusalem temple, the Sanhedrin was removed from the chamber
of eunuch stone in the temple and reconvened in the marketplace.
So for the rest of their time, you know, this was the same year that the
Talmud tells us that when the Sanhedrin ceased to judge capital offenses,
they moved from the chamber of eunuch stone to the marketplace.
That was the year of the crucifixion of Yeshua HaMashiach.
And it says, you know, the ceasing to judge capital offenses is because Rome
found the Sanhedrin guilty of paying false witness in a capital case.
And that was when they paid the guards at the tomb to say they fell asleep.
And so when it finally got back to the Roman governor that they had a dereliction
of duty, they were going to execute them.
That's when they had to admit that they hired these people to do it.
And that's why it says in Matthew that this is commonly reported even to this
day.
It was such a major thing and ejected from the hall of eunuch stones, which was
broken in pieces that day.
So they had been, you know, found guilty of overusing capital punishment because
they were using it to kill off all their political enemies.
These people were totally corrupt.
They were controlled by Herod.
He was the one who engineered... Herod Antipas was the son of Herod the great,
was the one who engineered the death of Yeshua.
And he used the corrupt priests, you know, as pawns in this game.
But it was the Romans who did it.
The people, they were afraid to crucify him because the Jewish people believed in
the Messiah as a prophet.
He was not rejected by the Jews.
Now, eventually they rejected it.
The Messianic church was a part of Judaism.
For most of the time we talk about in the Gospels, it was a part of Judaism.
Eventually it was rejected because it almost took over Judaism itself.
Half the people in Jerusalem were Messianic.
Right, right.
And they assassinated James the Just and they expelled the Messianics from their
midst.
Yeah, the rift was there right from the beginning of Yeshua's ministry.
Basically the rift between Yeshua, his followers, and the Pharisees because
the Pharisees have a religious system built on adding hundreds and hundreds of
commandments, removing hundreds of commandments, and making their own
religious system.
And so, you know, Judaism itself, they were part of the Jewish culture.
But to say they're part of Judaism or part of Pharisees, no, they were not.
They separated themselves.
Yeshua said in Matthew 23, do not follow the takanot and masim of the Pharisees.
They say they follow Moses, they don't do what Moses says to do.
So that division was there and that's why they were saying that the disciples were
saying to rebel against Moses.
No, no, rebel against the oral Torah you invented, not against the true Torah.
That was the...
Consistent theme of his debate with the Pharisees throughout the Gospels.
And the book of Acts, over and over, my goodness.
You are preventing people from entering the kingdom of heaven by your commandments
of men.
You have rejected the commandments of God and placed them with the commandments of
men.
You are keeping people out of the kingdom of heaven.
You don't even follow your own commandments.
So that was his theme.
It's impossible to escape when you look at it.
But the thing we see here in this authentication of the Hebrew Gospels is
that Yehovah gave testimony himself to the crucifixion of his son by covering the
temple in darkness, causing an earthquake to break the stones, cracking the walls of
the inner temple, the holy of holies, the sanctuary, splitting the lintel which
also rendered the veil into, desecrating the holy of holies forevermore,
and rendering the Sanhedrin chamber unusable.
So the Sanhedrin, from that point on, they disputed the finer points of the law
in the marketplace to the bleeding of sheep and the smell of manure.
And they would never have left that chamber if it hadn't been structurally
unsound from their earthquake.
That is right.
Miles, we have got to continue this.
Let's come back and we'll tie this in next week in with the persecution of the
Messianic Jews and trace what happened as Rome attempts to get rid of the Hebrew
roots of the faith and get rid of the Messianic Jews who are following Yeshua.
The unknown story of the survival of the Hebrew Gospels and the Messianic church
throughout the centuries.
We now have evidence of it.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, next week, join us again.
And this is going to be the adventure of a lifetime because this is what has been
hidden behind the scenes all this time and really to replace the followers of Yeshua
with a Gentile religious system.
And ladies and gentlemen, this is the restoration, the restoration of all
things.
This is getting back to how the believers operated in the first century.
We want to get back to when the power of God was living, alive, living and
breathing.
So, thank you for being with us.
I would like to close in prayer.
Yehovah bless you and keep you.
Yehovah make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
Yehovah lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
In the name of Yeshua, our Messiah, our Savior, our King, the prophet who we
must hear and obey.
Amen and amen.
Well, Shabbat Shalom to our fans.
Shavua Tov.
Have a good week and we'll see you back here next week for Shabbat Night Live.
Lay your throats.
Bye-bye.
