WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:03.140 This program is brought to you by the partners of A Rood Awakening 00:03.140 --> 00:03.580 International. 00:04.200 --> 00:05.780 Help others find truth. 00:06.200 --> 00:08.540 Support A Rood Awakening International today. 00:09.420 --> 00:14.060 As you recover from your Thanksgiving meal today, you have one more thing to be 00:14.060 --> 00:14.720 thankful for. 00:14.820 --> 00:17.140 You can be thankful that the truth is being revealed. 00:17.240 --> 00:19.960 In fact, more truth than maybe you thought ever possible. 00:20.360 --> 00:23.360 And tonight, Michael Rood and Miles Jones reveal the truth that the Hebrew 00:23.360 --> 00:28.760 disciples, who followed a Hebrew Messiah, indeed wrote their gospel accounts in 00:28.760 --> 00:29.480 Hebrew. 00:29.480 --> 00:33.600 And that opens the door to understanding the Bible better than at any time in 00:33.600 --> 00:33.940 history. 00:34.120 --> 00:38.040 Get ready for the second episode of Survival of the Hebrew Gospels. 00:38.200 --> 00:41.680 Because it's the end of the sixth day, the sun has set, and this is Shabbat Night 00:41.680 --> 00:42.260 Live. 01:07.800 --> 01:10.500 As they take this message out into the world. 01:13.300 --> 01:15.620 Well, Shabbat shalom, Torah fans. 01:15.740 --> 01:17.700 Welcome to Shabbat Night Live with Michael Rood. 01:18.020 --> 01:22.000 You know, last week was a blockbuster, and if you missed it, go back and watch 01:22.000 --> 01:22.120 it. 01:22.120 --> 01:26.700 The emerging proof that the Gospels were originally written in Hebrew brings a 01:26.700 --> 01:31.000 whole new twist to what modern Christianity thinks the Gospels are all 01:31.000 --> 01:31.280 about. 01:31.600 --> 01:34.980 Now tonight, we continue that journey with Michael Rood and Miles Jones in the second 01:34.980 --> 01:38.460 of four episodes of Survival of the Hebrew Gospels. 01:38.580 --> 01:41.140 And with that new revelation is a new month. 01:41.260 --> 01:45.700 The ninth biblical month, better known as Kislev, has finally arrived on the 01:45.700 --> 01:48.640 astronomically and agriculturally corrected biblical Hebrew calendar. 01:49.100 --> 01:54.040 It was at this moment in history that the kings from the east were just three weeks 01:54.040 --> 01:57.620 away from reaching their destination to present their gifts to the king of kings. 01:58.000 --> 02:02.400 Yeshua was actually born a year and two months prior to their arrival. 02:02.660 --> 02:03.220 Did you know that? 02:03.380 --> 02:07.520 When they arrived at this house, Yeshua was actually a 14-month-old 02:07.520 --> 02:08.040 toddler. 02:08.500 --> 02:11.660 And those gifts arrived just in time because right after their visit, 02:12.000 --> 02:15.260 Joseph had that vision to escape to Egypt with Mary and Yeshua. 02:15.620 --> 02:19.720 And those expensive gifts would actually provide the money that was needed to 02:19.720 --> 02:22.960 escape and live in Egypt until Herod's death. 02:23.040 --> 02:23.840 Very interesting. 02:23.960 --> 02:24.920 Now, how do we know that? 02:25.080 --> 02:27.580 Well, diligent research on the part of my co-host. 02:27.640 --> 02:28.020 That's how. 02:28.280 --> 02:30.600 The founder of Rood Awakening International, Michael Rood. 02:30.840 --> 02:31.040 Michael Rood. 02:31.040 --> 02:31.480 Thank you. 02:31.660 --> 02:32.820 It's good to be with you, Scott. 02:33.060 --> 02:33.540 Yes, sir. 02:33.680 --> 02:37.500 And good to be exploring this most important topic. 02:38.040 --> 02:42.320 You know, sometimes I assume when I teach this about Daniel, about the wise men, 02:42.640 --> 02:49.580 that people had already read 2 Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and have a 02:49.580 --> 02:50.360 background in this. 02:50.500 --> 02:56.520 But, you know, as I really have gotten to know that the Bible really isn't taught in 02:56.520 --> 02:57.320 churches today. 02:57.540 --> 03:00.760 You know, we get a numbered psalm bite here, a numbered psalm bite there, 03:01.000 --> 03:05.740 and we never find out that Hanani, Ezra, and Mishael, Daniel, were actually 03:05.740 --> 03:11.440 the grandsons of King Yoshiah, the great-grandsons of King Hezekiah under 03:11.440 --> 03:14.700 Isaiah's reign, and that they knew Jeremiah. 03:15.110 --> 03:19.540 They knew these prophecies that Jeremiah had spoken, and Daniel was actually 03:19.540 --> 03:24.100 reading the scrolls of Jeremiah that were written by Baruch, the scribe of Jeremiah. 03:24.300 --> 03:29.720 So, you know, we're gonna get into a lot of this stuff in this season, because it 03:29.720 --> 03:32.000 is a feast of dedication that is coming up. 03:32.060 --> 03:37.340 Indeed, yes, and the reason to mention Daniel is because Daniel's, now let me get 03:37.340 --> 03:42.740 this right, so Daniel's treasures actually made it down 500 years later, and that's 03:42.740 --> 03:44.300 what the kings were bringing to Yeshua. 03:44.300 --> 03:48.240 That's right, Daniel was given the revelation of what to look for in the 03:48.240 --> 03:48.600 stars. 03:48.700 --> 03:54.220 This was the Chaldean astronomers, they were Jewish Chaldean astronomers that 03:54.220 --> 03:57.020 he was in charge of for 60 years of his life. 03:57.260 --> 04:02.180 He was a satrap, he was under the emperor, and he was made vastly wealthy. 04:02.600 --> 04:08.100 But, just as Hezekiah was told by Isaiah that your offspring are going to be 04:08.100 --> 04:11.800 eunuchs in the court of the king of Babylon. 04:12.240 --> 04:16.420 And here, Daniel, Hanani, Azariah, and Mishael, they are the eunuchs. 04:16.620 --> 04:18.940 They're put under Ashpenaz, the prince of the eunuchs. 04:19.280 --> 04:24.980 And Daniel has no offspring, but he is made extremely wealthy, he knows the 04:24.980 --> 04:28.780 timing of the coming of the Messiah, and he then puts his treasure into the 04:28.780 --> 04:33.920 hands of these Jewish Chaldean astronomers who watch the heavens for the sign that 04:33.920 --> 04:38.780 Daniel says, watch for this, and then you take my treasure and you lay it at the 04:38.780 --> 04:40.780 feet of my Lord, the king of Israel. 04:40.780 --> 04:44.260 So this was passed down from astronomer to astronomer until the time came, 04:44.380 --> 04:44.660 is that right? 04:44.940 --> 04:45.540 That's right. 04:45.900 --> 04:50.800 Yeah, Jeremiah actually took the temple Torah scroll and put it in the hands of 04:50.800 --> 04:55.060 the priest as they were leaving Babylon, and said, don't forget the Torah, 04:55.260 --> 04:55.660 teach it. 04:55.820 --> 04:58.320 And that's why it was copied over and over and over. 04:58.640 --> 05:04.540 And actually, here at our studio, at A Rood Awakening, we have two Torah 05:04.540 --> 05:08.840 scrolls that were smuggled out of Iraq, and these are the offspring, these are 05:08.840 --> 05:15.460 generations later from the Torah scroll that was handed by Jeremiah to the priest 05:15.460 --> 05:16.800 to take into Babylon. 05:17.040 --> 05:21.120 And they copied it thousands of times through the generations. 05:21.440 --> 05:22.280 Wow, that's amazing. 05:22.400 --> 05:28.200 And I love the fact that all this comes together at a time when people think 05:28.200 --> 05:30.960 Yeshua was born, but well, they got part of the story right, that's when the kings 05:30.960 --> 05:31.300 come. 05:32.000 --> 05:36.480 That's right, we got that part right, but it's not that they got that part 05:36.480 --> 05:41.500 right, it's just that the whole Christmas thing is all based on Babylonian sun 05:41.500 --> 05:46.800 worship, the reincarnation of Nimrod, his little baby Tammuz, on December 25th 05:46.800 --> 05:51.880 at the time of the winter solstice on the ancient Babylonian calendar. 05:52.300 --> 05:56.700 But Yeshua's actual birthday, everyone will be celebrating during the millennial 05:56.700 --> 06:01.440 reign of the Messiah because everyone is required to go up to worship the king, 06:01.580 --> 06:06.020 Yehovah Tzevaot, for the thousand years that he reigns from his throne in 06:06.020 --> 06:06.580 Jerusalem. 06:06.800 --> 06:09.120 That is a fact and that is reality. 06:09.540 --> 06:14.260 Now tonight, you and Myles are bringing up more facts and reality with the survival 06:14.260 --> 06:15.120 of the Hebrew Gospels. 06:15.260 --> 06:19.160 Oh my goodness, this is so incredible that we have these things. 06:19.560 --> 06:24.960 Myles continued to work on this after John Lorquette and Nehemia Gordon did their 06:24.960 --> 06:31.680 presentation on the absence of John 6-4 in all of these ancient Greek documents. 06:31.680 --> 06:35.460 And so they asked for more help on this. 06:35.840 --> 06:41.100 Myles Jones was able to get into not only the Hebrew Gospels, but also the 06:41.100 --> 06:44.400 translation of the Hebrew Gospels in these other languages. 06:44.720 --> 06:48.040 And again, find out that John 6-4 wasn't there. 06:48.520 --> 06:49.820 It was not there. 06:50.100 --> 06:55.980 It was deliberately added by the Bishop of Constantine, Eusebius, in order to 06:55.980 --> 06:58.220 artificially lengthen Yeshua's ministry. 06:58.580 --> 07:02.480 He's the one that came up with this heretical three-and-a-half-year ministry 07:02.480 --> 07:05.020 that we all inherited here in the West. 07:05.300 --> 07:06.080 Wow, amazing. 07:06.160 --> 07:08.640 Now, before we run out of time, I wanna give you a chance to explain 07:08.640 --> 07:09.580 what's in your hand here. 07:09.880 --> 07:11.280 There's another series coming, isn't there? 07:11.340 --> 07:11.860 That's right. 07:11.920 --> 07:15.080 After this, now we're going to get into the mystery of iniquity. 07:15.420 --> 07:19.060 We are reworking this for this next generation. 07:19.520 --> 07:23.760 This is the mystery of iniquity, Antichrist revealed. 07:24.200 --> 07:27.720 These are the legal prerequisites to the return of the Messiah. 07:27.720 --> 07:30.880 These are the things that must take place first. 07:31.300 --> 07:36.980 No, Yeshua cannot return tomorrow, next week, next month, or even five years 07:36.980 --> 07:42.460 from now, because there are things in the Scripture, it is written, and once God 07:42.460 --> 07:47.720 puts a stamp on it and says, it is written, this is my word, nothing can 07:47.720 --> 07:49.420 change it, absolutely nothing. 07:49.520 --> 07:54.540 But yet, Christianity, theology has changed it. 07:54.800 --> 07:59.000 They have neutered the Scripture, and they have taught lies, and I was part 07:59.000 --> 08:03.780 of the teaching of those lies for many years, 20 years, from the pulpit, 08:04.000 --> 08:08.760 teaching the lies that I expose in the mystery of iniquity. 08:08.940 --> 08:13.840 The behind-the-scenes working as the God of this age who has set a snare for the 08:13.840 --> 08:15.960 Christian church, and we're gonna reveal it all. 08:16.100 --> 08:17.140 Wow, very exciting. 08:17.220 --> 08:20.520 Also very exciting, oh, before I forget, you and I are up on the stage coming 08:20.520 --> 08:22.140 Monday for

--> 08:57.160 Alrighty, well, the Bible may seem Greek to you now, but it's about to become much 08:57.160 --> 08:59.540 clearer, thanks to Hebrew, ironically. 09:00.020 --> 09:04.240 Michael Rood and Miles Jones explain how in the second episode of Survival of the 09:04.240 --> 09:04.940 Hebrew Gospels. 09:05.000 --> 09:08.460 But before that, get your bread and your wine ready to ring in the

really means, only to be shut down, told that you're being deceived, 09:24.560 --> 09:27.620 and even threatened by people who claimed to love God? 09:28.080 --> 09:31.740 There's someone who knows

09:53.720 the synagogue that Yeshua was the promised Messiah. 09:54.300 --> 09:58.220 Fight the Good Fight is a new teaching available for November only. 09:58.760 --> 10:02.820 You won't see it on

what we did during the Temple period. 11:25.900 --> 11:29.780 Not what we did, but they remind us of what we did. 11:30.280 --> 11:36.140 But the followers of Yeshua also have some other traditions, some other things that 11:36.140 --> 11:39.820 are reminders of what has been accomplished for us. 11:40.240 --> 11:45.240 They are reminders of what goes back long before the Temple period, and it reminds 11:45.240 --> 11:46.980 us of what happened the very year before. 11:46.980 --> 11:50.020 The year that Yeshua was crucified and resurrected. 11:50.580 --> 11:56.440 At the Last Supper that Yeshua had with his disciples, the Greek scriptures tell 11:56.440 --> 11:58.020 us that he took artone. 11:58.320 --> 12:00.220 He took leaven bread and broke it. 12:00.620 --> 12:05.360 Of course, the English, the Greek, and all scriptures tell us that this Last 12:05.360 --> 12:08.500 Supper was before the Feast of Passover. 12:08.980 --> 12:12.560 And the following morning, the Pharisees refused to go into Pilate's Judgment Hall 12:12.560 --> 12:16.220 because they didn't want to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover. 12:16.700 --> 12:18.600 This is not the Passover meal. 12:18.940 --> 12:23.460 And every time we serve bread and wine gives us the opportunity, as Yeshua says, 12:23.640 --> 12:27.240 as often as you do this, you do this in remembrance of me. 12:27.880 --> 12:33.580 And so, as Yeshua said, this represents my body which will be broken for you. 12:33.680 --> 12:35.300 This represents my shed blood. 12:35.680 --> 12:39.720 And he spoke the prayer that the Melchizedek shared with Avraham thousands 12:39.720 --> 12:40.580 of years ago. 12:40.580 --> 12:46.420 Baruch katah Yehovah Eloheinu melech ha-olam, b'rei pri ha-gafen. 12:46.840 --> 12:51.240 Blessed are you, Yehovah, our Elohim, king of the universe, creator of the fruit 12:51.240 --> 12:51.780 of the vine. 12:55.400 --> 12:56.620 And Yeshua took bread. 12:57.080 --> 13:02.220 And he blessed the Most High, saying, Baruch katah Yehovah Eloheinu melech 13:02.220 --> 13:06.240 ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz. 13:06.880 --> 13:11.660 Blessed are you, Yehovah, our Elohim, king of the universe, who brings forth 13:11.660 --> 13:12.740 bread from the earth. 13:12.940 --> 13:17.480 As often as you do this, we do this in remembrance of him. 13:21.190 --> 13:21.870 L'chaim. 13:32.280 --> 13:38.320 20 years ago, I invited a Hebrew scholar over to my apartment in Jerusalem to 13:38.320 --> 13:39.940 present a problem to him. 13:40.380 --> 13:46.160 It was concerning the Gospel of Matthew, the 23rd chapter, which in the King James 13:46.160 --> 13:50.180 read, the scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 13:50.900 --> 13:56.300 Whatsoever they, the scribes and Pharisees, command you to bid and observe, 13:56.800 --> 13:58.480 that observe and do. 14:00.540 --> 14:07.320 I told this scholar, who was raised as an Orthodox Jew, I said, there is no way on 14:07.320 --> 14:10.880 God's green earth that Yeshua could ever have said those words. 14:11.600 --> 14:13.680 And he said, what makes you think so? 14:14.300 --> 14:18.380 Well, for the next three hours, I took him through every evidence in the 14:18.380 --> 14:24.260 Gospel record, and at the end of it, he said, I can see that this is a problem, 14:24.380 --> 14:26.560 but this is your problem, it's not mine. 14:26.940 --> 14:32.120 I told him that every extent Greek text said the very same thing, but it 14:32.120 --> 14:37.080 completely contradicts everything Yeshua ever said, and everything he did, 14:37.280 --> 14:42.000 and everything he taught his disciples while training them about the Gospel of 14:42.000 --> 14:42.360 the kingdom. 14:43.220 --> 14:45.620 He said, this is not my problem. 14:46.000 --> 14:49.880 If you're supposed to be down at the wall, davening at five o'clock in the morning, 14:50.160 --> 14:55.520 with long pail, it's a black hat, and an overcoat at 100 degree temperature, 14:55.700 --> 14:57.640 that's your problem, it's not mine. 14:58.420 --> 15:05.380 But, he said, but this is not my problem, but this is my field of expertise. 15:06.180 --> 15:11.740 This is an apparent contradiction, an apparent contradiction in an ancient 15:11.740 --> 15:12.220 text. 15:12.480 --> 15:13.640 I'll see what I can do. 15:14.540 --> 15:17.860 Nehemia then went to some of his professors, colleagues at Hebrew 15:17.860 --> 15:23.080 University, and dug into the ancient Hebrew Matthew. 15:23.760 --> 15:28.500 Now, I was already aware of George Howard's work, the Hebrew Gospel of 15:28.500 --> 15:31.780 Matthew, but I didn't find the solution here. 15:32.120 --> 15:32.420 Why? 15:32.920 --> 15:40.080 Because George Howard deliberately mistranslated this particular verse, 15:40.360 --> 15:42.680 because it didn't fit his theology. 15:43.140 --> 15:49.180 It didn't fit his Christian theology, so he mistranslated what was originally 15:49.180 --> 15:49.620 written. 15:50.300 --> 15:55.920 And this was originally written, the Hebrew Matthew, as Nehemia Gordon 15:55.920 --> 15:59.920 traced it out by a Jewish physician in Spain. 16:00.960 --> 16:06.800 Since that time, Nehemia Gordon has now unearthed over 28 ancient Hebrew 16:06.800 --> 16:09.020 manuscripts of the Gospel of Matthew. 16:09.600 --> 16:15.920 And that has provided us not only the answers to that very verse that brought 16:15.920 --> 16:22.160 Nehemia to my apartment that 20 years ago, but it has also solved so many other 16:22.160 --> 16:22.680 problems. 16:23.360 --> 16:28.020 But I have with me, again, this week, Dr. Miles Jones. 16:28.720 --> 16:33.920 Dr. Jones has uncovered the earliest Hebrew manuscripts of the Gospels. 16:34.240 --> 16:39.020 And can link them all the way back to the original first century. 16:39.440 --> 16:42.180 This has taken him years and years of work. 16:42.680 --> 16:49.080 This is work that has not really been in Nehemia Gordon's field of interest because 16:49.080 --> 16:53.680 of his background as an Orthodox and now a Karaite Jew. 16:54.300 --> 17:01.480 But to someone who has been raised as a follower of Yeshua, who knows that he is 17:01.480 --> 17:09.020 the prophet whom we must hear and obey, it is in Miles Jones' most direct interest 17:09.020 --> 17:14.280 and field of expertise as a linguist, as a PhD, to dig into this. 17:14.560 --> 17:18.660 And what he has uncovered is now going to take some time to unpack. 17:19.320 --> 17:24.480 Miles, thanks for coming back because now we get to go into the real meat of what 17:24.480 --> 17:25.360 you have been doing. 17:25.900 --> 17:32.160 Your whole life has been now boiled down to the focus of what you have found in the 17:32.160 --> 17:36.780 ancient Hebrew Matthew and the other Gospels. 17:37.020 --> 17:39.620 And the other related materials and the prefaces. 17:40.220 --> 17:42.080 This has been an eye-opener. 17:42.340 --> 17:46.400 I mean, really, the gates of knowledge, as it mentions in the last days, 17:46.640 --> 17:49.760 will be wide open and knowledge will just be pouring forth. 17:50.100 --> 17:54.940 In the book you talked about, in the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, it very clearly 17:54.940 --> 17:58.040 says in Hebrew, that do what he says. 17:58.320 --> 17:58.580 Moses. 17:58.580 --> 18:00.100 Do what Moses says. 18:00.320 --> 18:00.840 What Moses says. 18:00.880 --> 18:04.000 But do not follow their talking out in my saying. 18:04.760 --> 18:10.320 And George Howard just couldn't accept that it wasn't like it was in all the 18:10.320 --> 18:10.320 Greek. 18:10.320 --> 18:11.400 In the King James. 18:11.460 --> 18:15.560 So he wrote, do what they say, and put it in parentheses, right? 18:15.820 --> 18:20.520 But he mistranslated it because he just couldn't believe it wasn't like the Greek 18:20.520 --> 18:20.840 Bible. 18:21.160 --> 18:29.480 But this is a really important book because his Hebrew Matthew is one of the 18:29.480 --> 18:33.120 surviving documents in the Hebrew manuscript tradition. 18:33.400 --> 18:35.220 And that is a fantastic thing. 18:35.620 --> 18:40.480 I not only went to Israel and found the earliest copy of the Gospels in Hebrew, 18:40.620 --> 18:45.460 the earliest manuscript, but along the way we discovered there are other manuscripts 18:46.480 --> 18:52.160 that are part of the Hebrew manuscript tradition that survived outside of the 18:52.160 --> 18:53.360 grip of the Roman church. 18:53.900 --> 18:56.200 And that's a huge step forward. 18:56.200 --> 19:00.860 And you've actually seen that which Nehemia told me about more than 20 years 19:00.860 --> 19:05.700 ago, there were other manuscripts but he can't tell me about them right now. 19:05.880 --> 19:10.160 And I said, oh, because we can't let it out at that point. 19:10.280 --> 19:14.920 Because they weren't in full control at that point and they could just disappear. 19:15.440 --> 19:20.180 But these are the things that now, more than 20 years later, you have been 19:20.180 --> 19:26.020 able to dig into and trace the lineage of the Messianic Jewish church, the Messianic 19:26.020 --> 19:32.600 believers, and follow Jesus in that line, you have been able to trace them through a 19:32.600 --> 19:35.500 lot of the world and through many different translations. 19:35.920 --> 19:37.260 And that's what I'm very excited about. 19:37.460 --> 19:39.800 Your book is absolutely fantastic. 19:40.260 --> 19:45.560 The Sons of Zion versus the Sons of Greece, which is subtitled The Survival of 19:45.560 --> 19:51.500 the Hebrew Gospels and The Survival of the Messianic Church goes along with that. 19:51.640 --> 19:53.200 And it never died. 19:53.500 --> 19:54.200 It's been there. 19:54.420 --> 19:58.060 I mean, it took on different names, the Neo-Messianic movements of medieval 19:58.060 --> 19:59.760 Europe, but it never died. 19:59.840 --> 20:03.620 And the Sabbatarians, which came to the United States, they were Messianic, 20:03.660 --> 20:04.780 they were Neo-Messianics. 20:05.220 --> 20:08.620 But you have, what you have, we wouldn't have discovered any of this without 20:08.620 --> 20:10.020 discovering the Hebrew Gospels. 20:10.280 --> 20:15.720 Now, Nehemia found 38 copies of Hebrew Matthew scattered all over Europe in 20:15.720 --> 20:18.840 addition to the 14 we already knew about. 20:19.160 --> 20:25.020 So that's 40 Hebrew Matthews that were out there translated by Shem Tov. 20:25.540 --> 20:31.420 And the one I looked for was not, it was not the Shem Tov manuscript. 20:31.760 --> 20:35.000 But if you can bring up this slide here on the Trail of the Hebrew Gospels, 20:35.480 --> 20:39.160 the Hebrew Gospels had survived in Spain. 20:40.660 --> 20:42.140 There's attestations of them. 20:42.300 --> 20:44.500 And we have the proof because we have them now. 20:44.500 --> 20:48.600 Okay, can you take us on the journey to get us to Spain? 20:48.640 --> 20:53.660 I know it is a circuitous route, but the believers, under great persecution 20:53.660 --> 20:55.860 in Jerusalem, moved out from Jerusalem. 20:56.020 --> 20:58.780 Then they moved out from Antioch. 20:58.860 --> 21:04.240 They moved out around the world and then it developed into other languages. 21:05.040 --> 21:12.120 And so tell us that story because a lot of our people out there just don't know the 21:12.120 --> 21:18.420 impact of the Notzrim, those who are followers of the Netzer, Yeshua of 21:18.420 --> 21:18.480 Nazareth. 21:18.480 --> 21:21.800 The Nazarenes, the Netzerim, that's what they were called. 21:21.880 --> 21:22.860 They weren't called Christians. 21:23.240 --> 21:28.360 Right, yeah, that was first in Antioch, which is named after Antiochus Epiphanes, 21:28.440 --> 21:28.740 okay? 21:28.880 --> 21:30.260 So it's a pagan city. 21:30.460 --> 21:32.500 That's where they were first called Christians. 21:32.680 --> 21:38.260 But Notzrim, that's what, they're still known among the respectful Orthodox Jews 21:38.260 --> 21:39.520 today, Notzrim. 21:39.520 --> 21:42.940 Followers of Yeshua, followers of the Nazarene. 21:43.160 --> 21:47.340 In Spain, the Arabs call them Nazarenes. 21:47.960 --> 21:49.700 So they are still going by that name. 21:50.300 --> 21:57.040 But the important principle to remember about these Hebrew manuscripts is that 21:57.040 --> 22:01.220 when you see a Hebrew manuscript, it's written by a Messianic scribe. 22:01.580 --> 22:03.320 I mean, Shemtov was not a Messianic. 22:03.460 --> 22:04.520 He wrote the first one. 22:04.860 --> 22:08.940 But these were Messianic communities that are keeping these alive because only 22:08.940 --> 22:15.420 Messianics would have the skills to do it, the Hebrew skills to do it, and the belief 22:15.420 --> 22:15.980 system. 22:16.200 --> 22:21.720 Because holding, having the Hebrew Matthew or the Hebrew Gospels in your hand was a 22:21.720 --> 22:22.420 death sentence. 22:22.920 --> 22:24.740 It was condemned by the Jews. 22:25.060 --> 22:27.420 It was condemned by the Gentile Christians. 22:27.880 --> 22:32.180 So the only people that would risk their lives for this book were Messianic 22:32.180 --> 22:32.560 believers. 22:32.840 --> 22:36.220 So you can trace the communities of Messianic believers, of which there were 22:36.220 --> 22:39.100 many, by where you find these Gospels. 22:39.520 --> 22:45.820 Now, the one I did, I was called to work on was, I was called to go to Israel and 22:45.820 --> 22:46.260 find it. 22:46.420 --> 22:49.800 It was not, you know, and there wasn't any other place I could have gone. 22:49.860 --> 22:54.020 I could have gone to the Vatican, but they kind of hide those things away. 22:54.120 --> 22:59.280 Right, now, just in the last month, Nehemia was able to get into the Vatican, 22:59.780 --> 23:04.020 inspect some ancient Hebrew schools, and go into the Vatican junk box, 23:04.020 --> 23:09.940 which has the Gospel of John, and the Gospel of Luke, and another one, 23:10.040 --> 23:12.560 which we're not gonna talk about yet. 23:13.560 --> 23:19.760 But, and this was, they were done by Messianic Jewish scribes, and the name was 23:19.760 --> 23:23.080 there, Yodeh Vaveh, with all of the vowel points. 23:23.240 --> 23:24.580 I know, that's so exciting. 23:24.820 --> 23:29.080 Oh, yeah, the Messianics never forbid, it was the Pharisees that forbid the 23:29.080 --> 23:29.780 speaking of the name. 23:30.040 --> 23:35.560 The Messianics, Yeshua said, I have taught my father's name. 23:35.740 --> 23:38.000 I've declared your name to my disciples. 23:38.340 --> 23:39.520 And I will declare it. 23:39.940 --> 23:42.620 I mean, that's the prophecy in Psalm 110. 23:42.800 --> 23:46.180 Yeshua's still alive, and he's declaring it through his people today. 23:46.300 --> 23:51.160 Right, so the idea that he would actually use the name of a Greek god speaking to a 23:51.160 --> 23:54.600 Hebrew audience, he would have been stoned immediately. 23:55.040 --> 23:56.480 I mean, so that did not happen. 23:56.560 --> 23:59.460 That is the weak link in Greek primacy of the Bible. 23:59.460 --> 24:03.820 And they say that when he spoke to his Hebrew audiences, he quoted from the 24:03.820 --> 24:04.440 Septuagint. 24:04.600 --> 24:06.100 It did not happen. 24:06.240 --> 24:06.800 Oh, my goodness. 24:06.800 --> 24:07.120 It did not. 24:07.180 --> 24:08.900 This is just spin that's out there. 24:09.080 --> 24:09.260 Yeah. 24:09.560 --> 24:14.500 So there was fake news going back 1,600 years and further. 24:14.500 --> 24:18.660 Well, they were trying to convince people that Hebrew was a dead language in the 24:18.660 --> 24:22.960 first century, but then the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered from the second 24:22.960 --> 24:26.040 century on almost 1,000 documents written in Hebrew. 24:26.200 --> 24:26.560 Right. 24:26.560 --> 24:27.500 That put the line to that. 24:27.500 --> 24:30.920 Who's last, who's got duty in the kitchen? 24:31.320 --> 24:35.740 I mean, it was the language that they spoke, the language they wrote in. 24:35.880 --> 24:37.900 Their community rules that they followed. 24:38.380 --> 24:42.580 But there's so many lies have been told trying to suppress the story of the 24:42.580 --> 24:44.260 Messianic Church, the true story. 24:44.620 --> 24:46.260 And that's what we were talking about. 24:47.240 --> 24:53.480 The early Nazarenes were told by Yehovah, by an angel of Yehovah, that when the 24:53.480 --> 24:56.000 Romans surround the city, leave and go. 24:56.180 --> 24:59.840 And they went to Pella, where they established a community. 25:00.200 --> 25:02.000 Some later on went back to Jerusalem. 25:02.660 --> 25:04.400 Others stayed in Pella. 25:04.760 --> 25:12.260 And others went on to Sephirot in Spain, the largest community, more Jews and 25:12.260 --> 25:15.260 Messianic believers there than anywhere else in the world. 25:15.720 --> 25:17.260 Because by this time... 25:17.260 --> 25:21.480 Yeah, and to think that only Jews, Orthodox Jews went to Sephirot, 25:21.580 --> 25:22.260 they went there. 25:22.380 --> 25:26.600 No, no, the Messianics, everyone, they had to bail out of the country. 25:26.740 --> 25:27.580 Yes, they did. 25:27.700 --> 25:32.200 And there was a very, we have knowledge of a very early Messianic community there. 25:32.440 --> 25:35.560 In fact, it was established by Paul, among others. 25:36.000 --> 25:41.300 They believed that James also went there and his body is entombed in St. James 25:41.300 --> 25:42.140 Compostela. 25:42.540 --> 25:46.440 Now, I don't know if that's really his bones or not, but he was reported to have 25:46.440 --> 25:46.840 gone there. 25:47.400 --> 25:48.220 Paul went there. 25:48.300 --> 25:53.380 He said it was his great desire to take this trip into Sephirot. 25:53.580 --> 25:56.960 And he wrote in Romans, I think, that I will meet you when I go through 25:56.960 --> 25:58.300 Rome on my way to Sephirot. 25:58.600 --> 26:00.640 Well, he did go to Rome in chains. 26:01.040 --> 26:03.480 And he was held in house arrest for two years. 26:04.000 --> 26:10.740 And he was released because no one came from Jerusalem to condemn him. 26:11.160 --> 26:13.620 But no one came to defend him either. 26:14.400 --> 26:19.500 So there was a Jerusalem church that kind of was very suspicious of this Gentile 26:19.500 --> 26:20.020 mission. 26:20.020 --> 26:26.220 But Paul left, and as far as we know, from Clement of Alexandria and others, 26:26.300 --> 26:30.620 for example, he did go to Spain as a first century contact. 26:30.980 --> 26:34.220 And then he returned back through Rome where he was arrested again. 26:34.540 --> 26:37.160 And this time he was crucified. 26:37.820 --> 26:40.460 So this is the story, and it's an early one. 26:40.540 --> 26:42.440 It starts way back in the first century. 26:42.800 --> 26:45.620 The fact that you can still piece it together is truly miraculous. 26:46.060 --> 26:48.740 Because I was told to go get these documents. 26:48.740 --> 26:50.760 I'm not that smart, you know. 26:50.980 --> 26:56.020 But I was literally, Jehovah called me and said, go to Israel, find the earliest 26:56.020 --> 27:00.700 manuscript of the Gospels in Hebrew, that specific. 27:01.100 --> 27:02.980 I went there and I found them. 27:03.560 --> 27:07.220 And I worked with them wonderful people at the National Library. 27:07.580 --> 27:13.160 And they have done a huge database of all Hebrew manuscripts, handwritten, 27:13.340 --> 27:14.500 manuscript is handwritten. 27:15.120 --> 27:17.380 And they have a database. 27:17.380 --> 27:20.100 We just sat down in front of the database and I said, here it is. 27:20.620 --> 27:23.440 It's a 14th century manuscript from Spain. 27:24.180 --> 27:29.680 But the prefaces to it were written by Jerome who wrote in the fourth century. 27:29.900 --> 27:31.660 This is actually a first century. 27:32.140 --> 27:34.720 And we have authenticated it on this show, actually. 27:34.820 --> 27:38.820 We talked about the authentication that proves it came from a first century 27:38.820 --> 27:39.240 source. 27:39.700 --> 27:47.220 So these prefaces, they have turned out to be a big key because this is, as far as 27:47.220 --> 27:51.540 the opening, the preface to these different Gospels gives history in it. 27:51.680 --> 27:57.420 So it's not just the text itself, it's the other notations that you get that 27:57.420 --> 27:59.720 piece the whole story together. 28:00.040 --> 28:09.000 Right, because Jerome wrote these and he had, you know, when he, he translated the 28:09.000 --> 28:11.240 Hebrew Gospels into Latin and Greek. 28:11.740 --> 28:14.440 I mean, he says so four times in his writings. 28:14.960 --> 28:18.280 So he used them because he said there have become so many versions, so many 28:18.280 --> 28:20.160 corruptions of the Gospels. 28:20.240 --> 28:25.560 There are as many differences as there are copies of the text out there. 28:26.020 --> 28:31.280 So he said, you have to go back to the fountainhead, the authentic Matthew. 28:31.960 --> 28:37.560 And he was clearly referring to the Hebrew Matthew, the Hebrew Gospel, which he 28:37.560 --> 28:38.060 translated. 28:38.060 --> 28:43.600 And he wrote his prefaces to it at that time in Hebrew and in Latin and in Greek. 28:43.680 --> 28:50.040 So these prefaces to the Gospels are really rather renowned in the world. 28:50.180 --> 28:56.140 And what you see here, if you can show on my screen, you have the prologue to 28:56.140 --> 29:00.420 Matthew in the Hebrew Gospels from Catalonia that I'm translating. 29:01.320 --> 29:01.600 So... 29:01.600 --> 29:05.180 Okay, so Catalonia, this is part of Spain. 29:05.180 --> 29:09.500 And it still exists, Catalonia still exists around Barcelona area. 29:10.000 --> 29:15.260 So he says, the first evangelist wrote this in the Holy Tongue from memory to his 29:15.260 --> 29:15.540 brother. 29:15.660 --> 29:19.180 So the Holy Tongue, the Lashon Kodesh, always refers to Hebrew. 29:19.680 --> 29:24.320 And you can see the page that's actually in the Hebrew Gospels right there. 29:24.720 --> 29:29.520 And then in the preface to Luke... 29:29.520 --> 29:32.300 And so this is not the Shem Tov. 29:32.500 --> 29:33.680 No, this is not the Shem Tov. 29:33.700 --> 29:34.060 Right. 29:34.060 --> 29:36.940 But they both, but what we... 29:36.940 --> 29:41.500 Here's the thing, there's so many correlations between the Shem Tov 29:41.500 --> 29:45.900 manuscript and the Hebrew Gospels from Catalonia, in Matthew, of course, 29:45.980 --> 29:51.060 because he just did Matthew, that they have to be from the same source. 29:51.560 --> 29:52.460 There's no other way. 29:53.040 --> 29:56.680 There are different, the similarities, a long list of similarities that are 29:56.680 --> 29:57.680 exactly the same. 29:58.480 --> 30:01.740 There are no other version of the Gospel anywhere. 30:02.050 --> 30:03.740 They have to come from the same source. 30:04.060 --> 30:06.920 However, it's not simply a copy of Shem Tov. 30:07.860 --> 30:08.000 Right, right. 30:08.000 --> 30:10.420 Because there's too many differences for it to be a copy. 30:11.360 --> 30:18.980 So Shem Tov, Ibn Shaprut, he was a physician, and in his book, Evan Bohan, 30:19.180 --> 30:24.680 the Touchstone, he then copied the manuscript that he had of Matthew, 30:25.040 --> 30:30.360 and he put it in this book so that the Jews could defend themselves during the 30:30.360 --> 30:33.500 disputations with the Roman Catholic Church. 30:33.900 --> 30:39.260 And so the Hebrew Matthew was in Spain, there is no question. 30:39.860 --> 30:44.680 And so that's been the main source for Nehemiah, but here you are presenting, 30:44.820 --> 30:48.220 and people are seeing, for the first time, from the Catalan. 30:48.600 --> 30:53.520 And that's a second source that authenticates the survival of the Hebrew 30:53.520 --> 30:55.520 Gospels in Spain, in that same area. 30:55.520 --> 30:59.000 Because Shem Tov was required to engage in a debate. 30:59.200 --> 31:00.340 This is a ploy. 31:00.460 --> 31:05.060 The Christians were trying to force Jews to convert to Christianity. 31:05.400 --> 31:10.880 So they would get one of their leaders to engage in a debate with, and they would 31:10.880 --> 31:17.020 always pick Jewish converts to be their arguers, their debaters. 31:17.360 --> 31:21.240 Because nobody understood the Bible like they did, the Hebrew Bible. 31:21.520 --> 31:21.920 Right, right. 31:21.920 --> 31:27.500 So you'd have basically Jews and Jewish converts conducting this debate, 31:27.580 --> 31:32.500 and if they lost, they would force their entire community to convert to 31:32.500 --> 31:33.200 Christianity. 31:33.440 --> 31:34.720 So they were forced conversions. 31:35.380 --> 31:39.400 So Shem Tov wrote this, and he also wrote polemical arguments in there. 31:39.620 --> 31:43.020 But he had to write an accurate copy of Matthew, that would be stupid. 31:43.500 --> 31:47.020 To say something that was not in there, or to try and change it, that would be 31:47.020 --> 31:48.740 absolutely insane. 31:48.740 --> 31:55.000 And then, one of the big arguments is, is that you, the Catholic Church, 31:55.100 --> 31:57.200 aren't doing what Yeshua said. 31:57.560 --> 31:57.620 Yeah. 31:57.760 --> 31:58.080 Okay? 31:58.460 --> 32:04.060 So you're getting on us Jews for not doing, but you're not doing. 32:04.220 --> 32:05.540 Yeah, that's... 32:05.540 --> 32:10.120 But he won his argument, and to Pedro de la Luna, who was a bishop, who later 32:10.120 --> 32:15.480 became Pope, and that was the last time he ever had a fair debate between these two. 32:15.480 --> 32:19.440 They would set it up and drag it on for years. 32:19.660 --> 32:21.740 These people didn't have any way to support themselves. 32:22.300 --> 32:24.540 So, it was just totally... 32:24.540 --> 32:26.320 It became a joke. 32:27.140 --> 32:28.760 But he was providing them... 32:28.760 --> 32:32.280 Well, it's kind of like the legal system in the United States now, where they drag 32:32.280 --> 32:38.360 you before court, and you spend millions of dollars defending yourself from false 32:38.360 --> 32:44.200 accusations, and just to drain the people to where they will finally confess to 32:44.200 --> 32:45.720 doing something they didn't do. 32:46.100 --> 32:49.740 We've had this happen in current administration. 32:50.060 --> 32:51.760 But this was a long history. 32:51.900 --> 32:56.320 The Messianic Church didn't just disappear in the thousand years from 400. 32:56.920 --> 33:01.100 Constantine was the one who finally divorced everything in the New Testament, 33:01.720 --> 33:04.240 what we call Christianity now, was part of Judaism. 33:04.740 --> 33:06.940 The Nazarenes were a sect of Judaism. 33:07.380 --> 33:13.540 So it's all really the proceedings from a divorce court, which finally, the final 33:13.540 --> 33:20.540 cord was cut when Constantine formed the Greco-Roman Church, and declared, 33:20.760 --> 33:24.380 divorced himself from the Judaic Church, and from the Messianic Church, 33:24.660 --> 33:26.500 because they were the real chosen people. 33:27.000 --> 33:30.740 They were believers, and they were declared heretics, and he began 33:30.740 --> 33:31.740 prosecuting them. 33:32.280 --> 33:39.140 So in that fourth century period, he, many of the Jewish Christians there, 33:39.140 --> 33:45.700 because their whole church left in mass, and went up to northern Italy, 33:45.840 --> 33:49.780 to Lombardy, and the area of the Alps up in northern Italy. 33:49.780 --> 33:55.400 I gotta stop you right here, because this we've got to explore. 33:56.320 --> 34:01.760 The Constantine, what he really did, because this is finally developed into 34:01.760 --> 34:03.600 modern-day churchianity. 34:03.720 --> 34:10.140 And so it's gonna take a while to explore that, but we are going to give everyone 34:10.140 --> 34:14.080 out there an opportunity to stand with this ministry. 34:14.380 --> 34:19.320 And this is something we do with every broadcast, because every broadcast that we 34:19.320 --> 34:24.680 do, with our entire staff, everything we do in this ministry, and getting this out 34:24.680 --> 34:28.480 on broadcast television, everything is done at great expense. 34:28.540 --> 34:33.640 We try to bring the very best to you, and we are, today, bringing the very best 34:33.640 --> 34:39.740 to you with Miles Jones, and bringing back the history of the Messianic believers. 34:40.500 --> 34:45.720 The Messianic Jews who became believers, the Gentiles who became believers and 34:45.720 --> 34:51.220 followers of Yeshua, not according to the modern Greco-Roman churchianity, 34:51.600 --> 34:54.360 but according to the faith once delivered to the saints. 34:54.940 --> 35:02.480 And if you have been blessed by this ministry, we are asking you to step up and 35:02.480 --> 35:04.160 support what we are doing. 35:04.600 --> 35:08.840 Help us get this message out to the world, because that's what we're doing. 35:09.220 --> 35:13.220 We are not raising money to, someday, get the job done. 35:13.420 --> 35:17.620 We're getting the job done with every dime that comes in. 35:17.760 --> 35:23.420 We are putting it out there so that the world may know that Yeshua is the Messiah, 35:23.760 --> 35:28.760 the Son of the Living God, that he is the prophet of whom Moses prophesied, 35:28.760 --> 35:32.080 the prophet that we must hear and obey. 35:32.320 --> 35:37.300 This is the one that we're preaching, not the greasy, gray, sloppy, agape, 35:37.860 --> 35:40.300 eight-pound, six-ounce baby Jesus. 35:40.800 --> 35:45.740 No, we are preaching the gospel of the kingdom that Yeshua said, go out, 35:46.180 --> 35:48.960 make disciples, and teach them what I taught you. 35:49.440 --> 35:54.520 I don't want to hear you teaching anything about the prosperity, gospel, and all that 35:54.520 --> 35:55.480 business, he says. 35:56.080 --> 35:57.400 Well, he didn't really say that. 35:57.400 --> 36:00.240 I'm saying that, because that's not what we do. 36:00.620 --> 36:05.880 I'm not promising, you know, sow your seed of $1,000 and you're gonna get a Rolls 36:05.880 --> 36:06.140 Royce. 36:06.400 --> 36:07.420 None of this nonsense. 36:07.900 --> 36:15.300 No, we are to sow our seed so that in the millennial kingdom we get to live and 36:15.300 --> 36:20.920 reign with Yeshua as priests and kings during the 1,000-year reign of Messiah 36:20.920 --> 36:21.920 upon the earth. 36:22.160 --> 36:25.640 That is the talent that you are investing today. 36:26.160 --> 36:29.220 Get serious about it, because we only have one life. 36:29.460 --> 36:35.360 If we don't live it right, if we don't do what he asked us to do, if we squander our 36:35.360 --> 36:42.000 loan on our own self-interest, then don't be surprised when he takes the 36:42.000 --> 36:47.080 one talent and gives it to somebody else and says, you wicked and slothful servant. 36:47.800 --> 36:50.640 Now, ladies and gentlemen, we don't want that. 36:50.780 --> 36:55.580 We don't want that parable to be reality in our lives, and that's why we give you 36:55.580 --> 36:56.420 an opportunity. 36:57.080 --> 37:01.840 No other baitment for peace and prosperity. 37:02.380 --> 37:04.800 No, Yeshua said, I didn't come to bring peace. 37:04.980 --> 37:06.980 I came to bring a sword of division. 37:07.480 --> 37:08.840 Whose side are you on? 37:09.240 --> 37:10.000 Decide now. 39:17.470 --> 39:24.810 I interrupted Dr. Miles Jones as he was reading the prologue to the Hebrew Gospel 39:24.810 --> 39:26.610 of Luke by Jerome. 39:27.110 --> 39:32.390 These are the things that he has uncovered in the archives in Jerusalem, and he's 39:32.390 --> 39:37.730 gonna go in a lot more detail and take us to a greater part of the world than this. 39:38.110 --> 39:41.390 But, Miles, take us to Jerome's prologue. 39:41.510 --> 39:47.130 Well, this is putting together that really exciting story of the movement of the 39:47.130 --> 39:47.990 Messianic Church. 39:48.850 --> 39:52.370 And in the prologue to Luke, it's amazing that you can find these clues, 39:52.470 --> 39:54.310 if you look hard enough, that tell the story. 39:54.310 --> 39:58.130 But in the prologue to Luke, it said the Gospel was already written for those in 39:58.130 --> 39:58.590 Judea. 39:58.930 --> 40:03.510 And right here, it says, and Matthew in Lombardy. 40:04.690 --> 40:06.210 Now, remember, we talked about... 40:06.210 --> 40:07.690 Northern Italy. 40:07.930 --> 40:13.810 This is where the Jewish Christian Church went when they were run out by persecution 40:13.810 --> 40:15.070 in the time of Constantine. 40:15.290 --> 40:21.530 But it probably started earlier than that in the time of the Nero's persecution in 40:21.530 --> 40:24.010 64, in which Paul was. 40:24.190 --> 40:26.910 Right, and this was before the temple was destroyed. 40:27.230 --> 40:27.930 Right, it is. 40:27.930 --> 40:32.950 So you had a large Jewish Christian community there, and there were Gentiles, 40:33.110 --> 40:33.890 too, by this time. 40:33.890 --> 40:35.250 But they were one. 40:35.550 --> 40:36.070 They were one. 40:36.170 --> 40:39.390 Because Luke was in the synagogue in Antioch. 40:39.410 --> 40:39.630 Right. 40:39.810 --> 40:43.290 And that's where Simon of Cyrene ended up. 40:43.670 --> 40:45.810 Barnabas, Silas, Timothy. 40:46.410 --> 40:53.930 We've got the who's who right there in Antioch being spread out from there out to 40:53.930 --> 40:54.590 the Gentiles. 40:54.650 --> 41:00.210 See, after Jerusalem was wiped out by the Romans and the temple was destroyed, 41:00.850 --> 41:04.910 the Jews and the Messianic Church moved up to Antioch. 41:04.950 --> 41:08.530 And it was the center of the entire Christian world for centuries until about 41:08.530 --> 41:09.490 the seventh century. 41:09.650 --> 41:09.770 Right. 41:09.990 --> 41:12.890 So it was in the Book of Acts, it was the center. 41:13.130 --> 41:13.550 It was. 41:13.770 --> 41:19.370 And then, when basically Israel was destroyed, alia capitalina, Jerusalem 41:19.370 --> 41:25.830 became persona non grata, or really, any Jew prohibited under penalty of death 41:25.830 --> 41:30.210 from entering into, and so that's the real dispersion. 41:30.450 --> 41:31.370 Right, it is. 41:31.510 --> 41:37.390 And the Romans were trying to wipe out the Jews, but when Christianity became the 41:37.390 --> 41:42.270 Roman church and married with the Roman military, they were trying to wipe out the 41:42.270 --> 41:43.070 Messianic Church. 41:43.070 --> 41:48.050 This was the true competitor to their claim to being the original church. 41:48.350 --> 41:49.750 They were not the original church. 41:50.050 --> 41:54.650 And if anyone inherited the mantle of the chosen people, it was the Messianic Jewish 41:54.650 --> 41:55.050 Christians. 41:55.430 --> 41:59.890 They were Jews who believed and continued to believe and spread throughout the 41:59.890 --> 42:00.250 world. 42:00.770 --> 42:03.510 And Antioch was a big center of that, spread throughout the world. 42:03.850 --> 42:09.050 So they were a big community in Rome, and it left Rome under persecution by 42:09.050 --> 42:11.250 Constantine and went up to Lombardy. 42:11.250 --> 42:15.830 So when I first read this, it seemed like a really obscure reference. 42:15.970 --> 42:17.530 I couldn't even understand why it was in there. 42:17.570 --> 42:21.330 What could that possibly mean that Matthew was published in Lombardy? 42:21.530 --> 42:25.830 But that's where the Messianic Church went when the divorce was final. 42:26.230 --> 42:29.990 At the time of Constantine and the Greco-Roman church appeared and married 42:29.990 --> 42:35.310 the brutal Roman state, they started persecuting everyone who didn't go along 42:35.310 --> 42:35.930 with their doctrine. 42:36.770 --> 42:43.210 And so the Messianics went up to Lombardy and that became the center of spreading 42:43.210 --> 42:46.970 the Messianic Church all the way through Europe. 42:47.090 --> 42:48.230 It did not disappear. 42:48.710 --> 42:53.350 They just suppressed that evidence because they don't want anyone to know about it, 42:53.830 --> 42:54.030 right? 42:54.310 --> 42:59.050 The whole contribution of the Messianic Church has been suppressed over the 42:59.050 --> 42:59.470 centuries. 42:59.910 --> 43:04.170 Of course, cult heretics, their names, their reputations were blackened. 43:04.510 --> 43:08.810 They were burnt alive, along with their books, along with their scriptures. 43:09.510 --> 43:13.250 And that has been the story from that time until now. 43:13.410 --> 43:14.890 But they never disappeared. 43:15.470 --> 43:18.550 They held on to their faith and they moved into all the countries. 43:19.110 --> 43:24.770 And you have the neo-Messianic churches in Europe, the Cathars, the Waldensians. 43:25.150 --> 43:28.810 This is what the group in Lombardy came to be called, Waldensians, because they lived 43:28.810 --> 43:30.410 in the valleys, the Waldenses. 43:31.490 --> 43:33.130 And that's where they lived. 43:33.250 --> 43:37.570 And they kept getting pushed farther and farther up into the Alps by persecution, 43:37.570 --> 43:38.610 but they were never destroyed. 43:38.630 --> 43:42.750 And the persecution also, they ended up here in North Carolina. 43:43.050 --> 43:43.250 They did. 43:43.390 --> 43:44.230 Valdez, North Carolina. 43:44.410 --> 43:46.170 The Waldensians here. 43:46.310 --> 43:46.530 Yes. 43:46.690 --> 43:49.010 So this is really an outgrowth. 43:49.450 --> 43:56.890 And here we have Matthew's Gospel being published to the Lombards and the 43:56.890 --> 43:58.030 Waldensians. 43:58.850 --> 44:00.970 And so, you know, it's not dying. 44:01.230 --> 44:08.530 It's just that Constantine brought in the mixture of all this pagan sun god worship 44:09.090 --> 44:15.310 and mixed it in with a little bit of the Bible, a little bit, but this guy was a 44:15.310 --> 44:16.950 complete biblical illiterate. 44:17.090 --> 44:19.770 I would call him, you know, a biblical moron. 44:19.870 --> 44:21.470 Well, he was a follower of Mithra. 44:21.950 --> 44:26.870 And so he brought in all of these pagan Mithran holidays. 44:26.910 --> 44:31.130 Right, Mithra's birthday, December 25th. 44:31.270 --> 44:35.670 Look it up in the Encyclopedia Judaica or the... 44:35.670 --> 44:40.070 Right, well, the birthday of Sol Invictus, the unconquered sun, you know. 44:40.110 --> 44:43.610 And this was started with Nimrod and Semiramis way back. 44:43.690 --> 44:46.310 It's always been, you know, December 21st. 44:46.370 --> 44:48.130 And it followed through all kinds of cultures. 44:48.790 --> 44:51.530 And, you know, this is the queen of heaven, right? 44:51.910 --> 44:56.230 This is Ishtar, this is Esther, the Babylonian sex goddess. 44:57.010 --> 44:59.350 Aostra in the Anglo-Saxon. 44:59.610 --> 45:00.730 Ashtoreth in the Middle East. 45:00.950 --> 45:02.470 Same thing, same counterfeit religion. 45:02.470 --> 45:08.330 So the first century Jewish believers, followers of Yeshua, read the scripture. 45:08.930 --> 45:13.670 They refused to fall in line with the worship of all these pagan sun gods, 45:13.970 --> 45:19.690 refused to disavow themselves with the Torah because that's the foundation for 45:19.690 --> 45:20.470 everything. 45:20.970 --> 45:23.390 It's the schoolmaster that leads us to the Messiah. 45:23.630 --> 45:29.390 It's what Paul was quoting from constantly in order to prove to the Jews that Yeshua 45:29.390 --> 45:30.390 was the Messiah. 45:30.790 --> 45:31.950 They didn't forget it. 45:31.950 --> 45:37.670 It's the modern Christian church that's the outgrowth of this pagan, godless Roman 45:37.670 --> 45:38.230 empire. 45:38.290 --> 45:44.650 It is, and the Messianic church would not submit to worshiping the resurrection day 45:44.650 --> 45:48.170 on the feast day of Ishtar, a Babylonian sex goddess. 45:48.210 --> 45:49.090 They just would not. 45:49.290 --> 45:53.630 And they called him Quarto Decimans, which means 14, for Nisan 14. 45:53.630 --> 45:58.090 They held to the original Passover, as did all of the Neo-Messianic churches 45:58.090 --> 46:01.610 throughout Europe, including the Celtic Church of St. Patrick. 46:01.610 --> 46:04.010 And it wasn't without bloodshed. 46:04.390 --> 46:06.970 Hundreds of thousands and millions died. 46:06.970 --> 46:12.110 If you count the Reformation and the religious wars, millions were martyred for 46:12.110 --> 46:17.290 holding on to their faith, and hundreds of thousands of Neo-Messianic martyrs. 46:17.610 --> 46:23.590 In fact, they had a school of martyrs, which all of their preachers went to to 46:23.590 --> 46:24.110 prepare them. 46:24.150 --> 46:30.910 And they were prepared, and they were martyred, so it was totally against Roman 46:30.910 --> 46:33.550 law, and Roman law was the state then. 46:34.370 --> 46:40.770 And that school of martyrs was in Lombardy, the center of the Messianic 46:40.770 --> 46:42.550 movement that spread throughout all of Spain. 46:42.950 --> 46:46.410 The Waldensians, it was the Waldensian movement, the Cathars in southern France, 46:46.810 --> 46:52.170 the Conversos in Spain, the resurgence of the Messianic church, with all these Jews 46:52.170 --> 46:58.290 converting, as many as a quarter million Jews at the peak were Conversos. 46:58.570 --> 46:59.490 Because there were a lot of Jews. 46:59.490 --> 47:01.310 There were half a million Jews in Spain. 47:01.730 --> 47:06.230 So that massive resurgence of the Messianic church, the true Messianic 47:06.230 --> 47:12.590 church, and many of them, not all of them, but many of them insisted on having the 47:12.590 --> 47:14.990 word, the scripture in the holy word. 47:15.350 --> 47:18.870 I mean, it's a Hebrew God, it's a Hebrew story, right? 47:19.010 --> 47:20.770 It's a Hebrew boy made good. 47:21.250 --> 47:22.790 It was his apostles were Hebrew. 47:23.130 --> 47:27.170 The story was told in Hebrew, and it was written in Hebrew, and they still had 47:27.170 --> 47:28.290 those Hebrew gospels. 47:28.290 --> 47:29.530 They had survived. 47:30.110 --> 47:36.490 So they were going to have the gospel in Hebrew, which, of course, was condemned 47:36.490 --> 47:39.590 many of them to die in the Inquisition. 47:39.910 --> 47:46.870 But the Inquisition was started primarily, specifically, to crush the Messianic 47:46.870 --> 47:47.890 church in Spain. 47:48.630 --> 47:54.290 Let's go back to this document, this Gospel of Luke, Jerome, and his 47:54.290 --> 47:55.230 preface on it. 47:55.510 --> 47:57.530 Now, give us a background to Jerome. 47:57.530 --> 48:01.090 Jerome is assembling these scriptures. 48:01.690 --> 48:09.210 They were, the scribes were not being real faithful to keep the purity of this, 48:09.510 --> 48:12.950 and so he needs to go back to the original, and so... 48:12.950 --> 48:15.370 Right, that's what he does, and they don't like it. 48:15.530 --> 48:20.190 Now, he was a church man, he did what the church wanted, but he knew, in this case, 48:20.790 --> 48:24.770 the Greek manuscripts were all corrupt. 48:24.870 --> 48:29.170 Now, that happened in any language, but they were so corrupt that he said, 48:29.390 --> 48:33.350 we have to go back to the fountainhead, the authentic Matthew. 48:33.470 --> 48:38.530 Okay, now, he's known as the one who compiled the Vulgate, and so give us the 48:38.530 --> 48:38.870 background. 48:39.230 --> 48:45.130 He compiled the Vulgate, the Latin, and because, you know, that's the... 48:45.130 --> 48:49.410 They already had a Greek compilation by Eusebius in 320. 48:49.910 --> 48:53.990 So this is 380 now, when he did this, so now they needed a Latin one. 48:53.990 --> 48:58.530 Because remember, these are not the earliest, most authentic compilations of 48:58.530 --> 48:58.910 the Bible. 48:59.250 --> 49:06.050 Those were the Itala Bible, which was the Bible of the Waldensians in Lombardy. 49:06.150 --> 49:10.430 That was their Bible, their beloved Bible, which was based on the Hebrew Gospels, 49:10.530 --> 49:15.070 and then the Greek compilation of Lucian of Antioch, and that's called the Received 49:15.070 --> 49:20.250 Text, and it was used all over the world, because remember, and so the church rushed 49:20.250 --> 49:25.290 out and brought out a Greek compilation of the Roman doctrine, right? 49:25.550 --> 49:29.490 But you had the Lucian text, which was based heavily on the Itala. 49:29.570 --> 49:31.950 They were both based heavily on the Hebrew Gospels. 49:32.370 --> 49:37.690 So this was the Received Text of the Bible, and this was the true version of 49:37.690 --> 49:38.030 the Bible. 49:39.030 --> 49:44.870 So Eusebius and Jerome played kind of fast and loose and put in it what the Pope and 49:44.870 --> 49:46.810 the other religious leaders wanted. 49:47.110 --> 49:51.210 So they were significantly different in ways that we have talked about, 49:51.570 --> 49:56.450 because they changed things in order to fit their doctrine. 49:56.970 --> 50:00.990 I mean, a lot of them were simple things, like they never used the word menorah, 50:01.030 --> 50:03.570 which was designed by God on Mount Sinai. 50:03.670 --> 50:05.050 They always used candlesticks. 50:05.670 --> 50:11.470 They eliminated the name of God, which is the biggest abomination ever. 50:11.930 --> 50:14.570 They abolished the name of God, changed it to a Greek god. 50:14.650 --> 50:19.490 They needed to make a Greek church, they needed a Greek god, a Greek Jesus, 50:20.010 --> 50:22.070 Greek scripture, Greek liturgy, and they did. 50:22.190 --> 50:23.870 They changed it, they just changed it. 50:24.150 --> 50:26.050 They changed the sacred name of God. 50:26.410 --> 50:33.030 So that was no longer in the Bible, and it was clearly prohibited in the New 50:33.030 --> 50:33.370 Testament. 50:33.870 --> 50:40.450 Although, even when Yeshua is quoting from the Old Testament, now that is obviously a 50:40.450 --> 50:40.730 change. 50:41.050 --> 50:43.250 This is the weak link in Greek primacy. 50:43.250 --> 50:48.250 Yeshua and his apostles would never, ever have substituted the name of the 50:48.250 --> 50:49.690 Greek god for Yehovah. 50:49.950 --> 50:51.190 Never would they have done that. 50:51.450 --> 50:53.570 And it was not prohibited in the first century. 50:53.730 --> 50:58.450 That prohibition didn't happen until the second century, when the Roman church, 50:58.570 --> 51:02.350 not the Greek church, the Greek had, they had sparked a revolution trying to do 51:02.350 --> 51:02.590 this. 51:02.910 --> 51:06.630 Now the Roman church was doing it, and they were more brutally effective than 51:06.630 --> 51:08.010 the Greeks were, apparently. 51:08.550 --> 51:13.330 But they prohibited the name of God, and the Jews had to decide. 51:13.750 --> 51:16.770 Well, are we gonna lose a whole generation of priests? 51:16.770 --> 51:22.830 This is something, it must be understood, is that the Romans, the Romans, 51:23.070 --> 51:31.470 and this is the time of the Roman Catholic church, it's not yet in full bloom, 51:31.630 --> 51:37.150 but the Romans forbid the speaking of the name, and were burning Jews in the streets 51:37.150 --> 51:41.530 by wrapping Torah scrolls around them and setting them on fire, killing them. 51:41.850 --> 51:46.690 And that's why the Jews then said, the rabbis said, okay, we're gonna make a 51:46.690 --> 51:49.470 law that prohibits the people from speaking the name. 51:49.770 --> 51:51.750 That way, at least they're obeying us. 51:51.890 --> 51:53.810 They're not obeying Rome. 51:54.070 --> 51:56.090 That's where the whole prohibition came. 51:56.390 --> 51:57.190 Yes, yeah, it did. 51:57.490 --> 51:59.310 And it was imposed by the Romans. 51:59.890 --> 52:02.510 You know, it's called making a virtue of necessity. 52:02.890 --> 52:06.190 We either lose a whole generation of rabbis, or we make this change. 52:06.470 --> 52:08.650 And so they did, that's exactly what they did. 52:08.650 --> 52:14.010 We've been meaning to tell you guys, that you knuckleheads, that this is too 52:14.010 --> 52:16.170 sacred a word for you to even speak. 52:16.450 --> 52:20.630 So it'll only be done in the temple once a year. 52:21.270 --> 52:25.290 However, they never, the Jews, and Nehemia made this quite clear in his 52:25.290 --> 52:29.650 book, Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence, they never forgot the true name 52:29.650 --> 52:30.090 of God. 52:30.210 --> 52:36.490 And it is in the Hebrew Bible, 6,782 times, as Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh, 52:36.490 --> 52:36.710 right? 52:36.710 --> 52:40.730 So really, it was only the vowels that were missing. 52:41.130 --> 52:45.470 But he made it very clear from his research that they had never forgotten the 52:45.470 --> 52:46.210 true name of God. 52:46.290 --> 52:50.130 Now, maybe the ordinary Jews did, but the cognoscente and the rabbis, 52:50.330 --> 52:51.750 they knew what the true name is. 52:52.150 --> 52:57.070 He said he has never met a rabbi that thought the real name of God was Yahweh. 52:57.550 --> 52:59.150 That is a Gentile invention. 52:59.650 --> 53:04.070 It doesn't even fit the prescriptions of Hebrew grammar. 53:04.070 --> 53:06.970 You can't say it that way. 53:07.030 --> 53:07.250 You can't say it. 53:07.250 --> 53:11.650 And now, even in Rome, even in the Vatican, in the junk box, the Gospel of 53:11.650 --> 53:17.070 John, the Gospel of Luke, that has the name with all the vowel points. 53:17.430 --> 53:18.910 The Messianic's never. 53:19.370 --> 53:21.170 On Yehovah and of Yeshua, both of them. 53:21.350 --> 53:21.890 That's right. 53:21.990 --> 53:23.170 And you know these were written. 53:23.610 --> 53:27.590 Remember, if it's a manuscript on the New Testament, it was written by Messianic 53:27.590 --> 53:28.070 scribes. 53:28.250 --> 53:32.170 So the Messianics, the surviving communities here and there, and they are 53:32.170 --> 53:34.630 the ones who would have been preserving these Bibles. 53:34.930 --> 53:39.550 They were preserving the name of God, the actual, and writing it down. 53:39.730 --> 53:41.370 This was written. 53:41.530 --> 53:44.110 This was used in the first century. 53:44.690 --> 53:46.170 You know, Yeshua used it. 53:46.510 --> 53:49.850 You know, he said, I have kept these vows in your name. 53:50.030 --> 53:53.270 I have declared your name unto them, and I will declare it. 53:53.650 --> 53:55.910 And that was a prophecy from Psalm 110. 53:56.370 --> 54:01.590 So he was doing exactly what he was told to do, declaring the true name of God to 54:01.590 --> 54:02.050 these people. 54:02.050 --> 54:04.570 It was not prohibited at that time, first century. 54:05.150 --> 54:07.770 That was a second century prohibition. 54:07.850 --> 54:11.830 But people are confused about this, because, you know, you've got all these 54:11.830 --> 54:15.810 lies told, and confusing the issue is the first thing you wanna do. 54:16.010 --> 54:18.670 So how did Jerome handle this? 54:18.930 --> 54:20.550 He's got the Gospel of Luke. 54:20.650 --> 54:22.390 He's got it in Hebrew. 54:22.850 --> 54:26.790 He's going to be moving it over into Latin. 54:26.890 --> 54:28.170 How did he handle the name? 54:28.490 --> 54:29.070 Who's this? 54:29.530 --> 54:30.010 Jerome. 54:30.250 --> 54:30.690 Oh, Jerome. 54:30.690 --> 54:36.490 Well, it was eliminated from the New Testament, so he eliminated the New 54:36.490 --> 54:36.770 Testament. 54:37.550 --> 54:42.890 Apparently, he took his quotations from the Hebrew Bible, but he erased the name 54:42.890 --> 54:45.650 of God and replaced it with a Latin name. 54:46.290 --> 54:46.850 Okay. 54:47.170 --> 54:47.530 Dios. 54:47.990 --> 54:48.650 What's that? 54:48.830 --> 54:49.290 Dios. 54:49.610 --> 54:50.210 Oh, okay. 54:50.210 --> 54:51.270 They use it in Greek. 54:51.570 --> 54:52.210 Right, mm-hmm. 54:52.790 --> 54:55.010 So they used all the new names. 54:55.410 --> 54:57.450 So they definitely manipulated the Bible. 54:57.450 --> 55:00.750 Right, well, it's wrong to forbid the speaking of the name, to begin with, 55:00.890 --> 55:03.670 to erase the God of Israel. 55:03.970 --> 55:09.750 It's like, as long as you just call him Theos, you know, God, Dios, God, 55:10.290 --> 55:12.410 it's nothing, you know? 55:13.450 --> 55:19.530 So there's no personal, Yehovah means he was, he is, and he will forever be. 55:19.550 --> 55:20.910 That's the meaning of his name. 55:20.910 --> 55:21.810 That is exactly the meaning of it. 55:21.930 --> 55:25.970 And so they gotta get rid of his personal name because they're worshiping another 55:25.970 --> 55:26.490 god. 55:26.650 --> 55:28.590 Yes, they are, it is another god. 55:28.590 --> 55:31.370 And this clearly prohibited in the Old Testament. 55:31.770 --> 55:34.550 So this is the, I think this is the largest thing. 55:34.830 --> 55:39.330 But there are many, many, many other examples of their changing the Bible to 55:39.330 --> 55:39.790 suit. 55:40.290 --> 55:42.350 And they played fast and loose with it. 55:42.550 --> 55:46.430 When you read it, I mean, you kind of gasp when you see some of the things that they 55:46.430 --> 55:47.230 actually changed. 55:47.650 --> 55:50.510 So, I mean, you know, you are blessed. 55:51.030 --> 55:54.670 It says everywhere where my name is remembered, I will come to you and I will 55:54.670 --> 55:55.130 bless you. 55:55.290 --> 55:57.650 You're blessed just for remembering the name of God. 55:58.190 --> 56:06.630 And it says in the Old Testament that blessed is he who knows the joyful sound 56:06.630 --> 56:08.350 of Yehovah, right? 56:08.410 --> 56:11.950 So just knowing the pronunciation of it is a blessing to you. 56:12.510 --> 56:19.990 Father, have mercy on the souls of everyone who has adopted the paganism of 56:19.990 --> 56:27.510 Rome, who has been so overcome by the world that they can no longer hear your 56:27.510 --> 56:27.970 voice. 56:28.390 --> 56:30.070 They no longer have a desire. 56:30.370 --> 56:32.610 I ask you to put a fire in their soul. 56:33.070 --> 56:37.770 Burn away anything that's precious to them that is keeping them from your heart, 56:37.950 --> 56:42.990 from understanding the very words of the prophet, the prophet we must hear and 56:42.990 --> 56:47.670 obey, and the words of Jeremiah, who is calling us all to repentance in 56:47.670 --> 56:48.510 this day and age. 56:49.230 --> 56:51.450 In Yeshua's name, I pray this, amen. 56:51.450 --> 56:51.630 Amen. 56:53.290 --> 56:55.470 Well, Shabbat shalom, Torah fans. 56:55.850 --> 56:56.750 Shavua tov. 56:57.070 -->

on. 57:07.370 --> 57:08.030 Have a good week. 57:08.110 --> 57:11.690 We'll see you back here with Myles Jones on Shabbat Night Live.
