The False Messiah
(Edition 2.5 20100109-20100804-20151114)
We often come across some of the propaganda from the Rabbis regarding why Yahoshua
(Jesus/Iesou or Joshua) the Christ did not fulfil the scriptures and hence could not be the Messiah.
It is a good time to deal with this fiction and expose some of this rabbinical propaganda for the
fallacy that it is and where it is directed.

The False Messiah
The False Messiah
Preparing for the False Messiah
God is about to deal with the nation of Judah
and their aspirations concerning the Temple
and its reconstruction and their refusal to
abandon their traditions and follow the laws
of God free of their traditions. These
traditions are what they call the so-called
Oral Law as though God did not write it all
down for us to clearly understand. Thus they
make black white and white black through
the Talmud.
The article by the Jewish Rabbi Shraga
Simmons titled Why Don’t Jews Believe in
Jesus is a good example of the confusion
that exists in the Judaic mindset as to what
the NT actually teaches and what
Christianity actually is.
Let us be perfectly clear about one thing.
Trinitarian Sunday-worshipping Christianity
is not the faith of the being called Jesus
Christ and the First Century Church of God.
That false teaching and false interpretation of
the Bible will never convince any sound
thinking population, neither Jew, nor indeed
Muslim, nor anyone of the true Christian
faith. Its effect is merely piecemeal
disintegration.
There is some common ground upon which
we can agree; Shraga Simmons writes at
http://www.simpletoremember.com/articles/
a/jewsandjesus/
“What exactly is the Messiah?
The word “Messiah” is an English rendering of
the Hebrew word “Mashiach”, which means
‘Anointed.’ It usually refers to a person initiated
into God’s service by being anointed with oil.
(Exodus 29:7, I Kings 1:39, II Kings 9:3)
Since every King and High Priest was anointed
with oil, each may be referred to as ‘an anointed
one”’ (a Mashiach or a Messiah). For example:
‘God forbid that I [David] should stretch out my
hand against the Lord’s Messiah [Saul]...’ (I
Samuel 26:11. Cf. II Samuel 23:1, Isaiah 45:1,
Psalms 20:6)
Where does the Jewish concept of Messiah come
from? One of the central themes of Biblical
prophecy is the promise of a future age of
perfection characterized by universal peace and
recognition of God. (Isaiah 2:1-4; Zephaniah 3:9;
Hosea 2:20-22; Amos 9:13-15; Isaiah 32:15-18,
60:15-18; Micah 4:1-4; Zechariah 8:23, 14:9;
Jeremiah 31:33-34)
Many of these prophetic passages speak of a
descendant of King David who will rule Israel
during the age of perfection. (Isaiah 11:1-9;
Jeremiah 23:5-6, 30:7-10, 33:14-16; Ezekiel
34:11-31, 37:21-28; Hosea 3:4-5)”
This man then seeks to isolate the above as
the only description of the Messiah. He also
ignores Zechariah 12:8 which states quite
clearly that it will be a resurrected David
himself that rules under the Angel of
Yahovah himself that presides over
Jerusalem and the house of David as elohim.
The failure to isolate the scripture of Daniel
9:25 to show the mistranslation by the
Trinitarian scholars so they can isolate this
scripture to Jesus Christ is obvious. It would
be a very good example to quote to show
that this scripture had been wrested to
incorrectly translate the text to apply it to
Christ.
However, that could not be done by a Jew as
it would identify the prophecy of the history
of the Reconstruction of the Temple and that
there were two anointed ones in this text.
Moreover, they would have to place the
history in its correct biblical context which
would also have shown the prophecy in its
correct time frame and why God was to
destroy them. It would also have shown that
one of the anointed ones, or messiahs, was
Nehemiah who restored Jerusalem and the
Temple with Ezra in the exact year
prophesied in the reign of Artaxerxes II. The
second one had to be an anointed one that
was cut off, but not for himself, as was
prophesied in the text. However, that would
have put the prophecy in perspective in
relation to Jesus the Christ. The time frame
The False Messiah
made the year in question one week of years
before the destruction of Jerusalem and the
Temple by the Romans in 70 CE; that was in
63/64 CE.
This anointed one had to be an anointed one
as described in this definition above. In that
year there was only one person who could
have qualified of the line of David and that
person was of the tribe of Judah and of the
line of David but a servant of God and the
Christ. He was the brother of Jesus Christ
and the bishop of Jerusalem, James son of
Joseph and Mariam.
To expose this translation error would have
entailed the rabbis being faced with this
serious issue which would have drawn
attention to the fact that the text in Daniel
was fulfilled and the people involved were of
the Davidic lineage and the fate of the
Temple stood in the hands of God. His
judgment had fallen on Judah and Jerusalem
because of their sin and error and they
cannot face the fact that they were
condemned because they sinned and were
judged by the Christ. He was the man
Yahoshua called Iesuo by the Greeks and
Romans and Joshua in the English of his
name. They do not mention the prophecy
because they cannot explain it within their
paradigm (see the paper Sign of Jonah and
the History of the Reconstruction of the
Temple (No. 013)).
In their quest for the Messiah and the
Reconstruction of the Temple they are also
partially dependent upon the prophecy of the
Reconstruction of the Hurva Synagogue in
Jerusalem. A modern Jewish prophecy ties it
to the commencement of the Third Temple.
The Hurva Synagogue was built in the 18th
century in Jerusalem.
Vilna Gaon, a
respected rabbinical authority, prophesied
that the Hurva would be destroyed and
rebuilt twice, and that when the Hurva was
completed for the third time, construction on
the Third Temple would begin.
The Hurva Synagogue was first destroyed
Page 3
shortly after its initial construction when
Muslims, demanding the return of loans, tore
it down. The synagogue was rebuilt a
hundred years later. It became the most
important Jewish house of worship in the
Holy Land. However, it was blown to pieces
by Jordanian troops during Israel's 1948 War
of Independence.
In 2001, Israel finally decided to rebuild the
landmark, which today stands in the centre
of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem's Old
City. The building is scheduled to be
completed and the Hurva Synagogue
dedicated for the third time on 15 March
2010. The conjunction of the New Moon of
Abib falls at 23:01 Jerusalem time on 15
March. That makes the dedication fall on the
last day of Adar in the 32nd Year of the 120th
Jubilee. The Temple is thus prophesied to
begin construction from the 16th day of
March, which is the New Moon of Abib of
the 33rd year of the 120th Jubilee. The
question is where do they build it? If it is in
the Holy Place they will have to remove the
Mosques and start a war. If so then that will
indeed be the abomination of desolation
standing in the Holy Place. This synagogue
with all its Rabbinical and Talmudic
traditions will rest upon the Babylonian
traditions. The Babylonian Calendar and its
days of worship will be introduced to the
Holy Place. If that occurs then the Bible is
clear that you get out of Jerusalem (Mat.
24:15; Mk. 13:14). The six pointed star of
the god Remphan or Chiun will be there as
its symbol of human sacrifice and desolation.
From Christ’s recorded statements the
bleakest part of this time will be in the
winter and on a Sabbath. The New Moon of
the Tenth month in 2010 is on Monday 6
December and the Sabbaths fall on 4, 11, 18
and 25 December, or the day of the pagan
festival called Christmas. If this is indeed the
time spoken of by the Christ it would be
perfect to destroy the entire system,
commencing from Jerusalem, on the day of
false worship of the Sun god’s system called
Xmas.
Page 4
The tribe of Judah will then commence to be
dealt with in detail. However, we have a
problem with these Jewish prophecies. What
does this rabbi say about Christ? He says that
Jesus Christ did not fulfil the Messianic
prophecies.
He poses the questions:
“What is the Messiah supposed to accomplish?
The Bible says that he will:
A. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).
B. Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel
(Isaiah 43:5-6).
C. Usher in an era of world peace, and end all
hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it
says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall man learn war anymore."
(Isaiah 2:4)
D. Spread universal knowledge of the God of
Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it
says: "God will be King over all the world—on
that day, God will be One and His Name will be
One" (Zechariah 14:9).”
The Messiah on his return to Jerusalem will
indeed, according to the Bible, have the
Temple built. It is thus clear that the Jews, in
order to claim prophecy and build the
Temple, will have to assert a new and false
Messiah.
Jews claim that Jesus fulfilled none of these
messianic prophecies. The fact is that he
could only, and was meant to only,
commence the fulfilment of point D above.
That is, the Holy Spirit was to be made
available from his sacrifice to all nations.
Thus the knowledge of God was made
available from that time.
They acknowledge that Christian doctrine
asserts that Christ will restore Jerusalem and
rebuild the Temple on his return. However,
they claim that Jewish sources show that the
Messiah will fulfil the prophecies outright,
and no concept of a second coming exists.
This completely false statement ignores all
the Bible texts some of which literally state
and show that the Messiah was to sit at the
Right Hand of God until He made his
enemies his footstool.
The Yahovah of Israel states categorically
that Yahovah of Hosts will send him to
rescue Israel and then they will know that
Yahovah of Hosts has sent him (Zech. 2:613). This shows that there are two Yahovahs
involved and that this Yahovah is sent by
Yahovah of Hosts. This is unexamined by
the Trinitarians and the Jews find it too
inconvenient to explain. This being was the
Angel of the Presence that gave the Law to
Moses and he was the subordinate elohim of
Psalm 45:6-7. He is identified as Messiah in
Hebrew 1:8-9. He was sent to restore
Jerusalem and thus this final event had to be
in the Last Days. We see in chapter 3
following it that it refers to the restoration of
the High Priesthood under the Branch and
this text follows the reference in chapter 2 of
the prophecy of his despatch and the
restoration.
The Oracle at chapter 12 shows that the
period of the developments in Zechariah is
from the First Resurrection of the dead and
the reorganisation of Jerusalem, as David is
alive and placed as their leader and they will
be as elohim as the Angel of the Lord who is
at the head of the elect. It is this text that
shows that in those days the inhabitants will
look on him whom they have pierced. This
text refers to the cleansing of the nation
under the Messiah who is of the house of
David through Nathan and the House of Levi
through Shimei. This cleansing is the
mourning of Judah in its repentance through
understanding that it killed its own Messiah
in Jerusalem. In that day of the mourning the
whole system will be changed and there will
be no more prophets in the land of Israel.
Judaism claims also that Jesus did not
embody the personal qualifications of the
Messiah. The rabbis claim:
“Jesus was not a prophet. Prophecy can only exist
in Israel when the land is inhabited by a majority
of world Jewry. During the time of Ezra (circa
300 BCE), when the majority of Jews refused to
move from Babylon to Israel, prophecy ended
The False Messiah
upon the death of the last prophets—Haggai,
Zechariah and Malachi.
Jesus appeared on the scene approximately 350
years after prophecy had ended.”
Thus God’s hands were tied by the fact that
He allegedly decided not to deal with Judah
through any further prophets. The fact was
that He had dealt with these Jews and
prophesied that they would be dispersed and
their Temple destroyed in 70 CE exactly as it
was destroyed. On this basis there will never
be a prophet in Israel as the majority of
Judaism is outside of the current physical
Israel. God is not limited by the notions of
men, and especially those who pervert His
Laws.
The records of the existence of prophecy are
contained in the NT and all of those
prophecies stand as a witness against Judah
and its corrupt system. The Angel of the
Lord was sent to the High Priest of the
division of Abijah and he was told he was to
father a prophet and that his wife’s cousin
was also to be the mother of the Messiah.
That is recorded as fact in the gospels. His
lineage is also recorded in the gospels and
the rabbinical authorities admit the lineage in
Luke 3 is that of Mariam the mother of Jesus
Christ (see the paper Genealogy of the
Messiah (No. 119)).
Christ was sent to Judah as Jonah was sent to
Nineveh and he told Judah exactly that fact.
There is a multitude of prophecy that
condemns Judah and they will not
acknowledge it because that would entail
admitting the truth and repenting.
Firstly, the destruction of the lines of Judah
was undertaken by Herod as a matter of
history. It was undertaken for no other
known reason than to eliminate a potential
rival from the royal house of Judah. The
royal line of Judah ceased to sit in Judah and
Jerusalem as Exilarchs while Messiah was
alive. It is a matter of historical and
genealogical record (see the paper From
David and the Exilarchs to the House of
Windsor (No. 67)). His birth was recorded as
Page 5
being prophesied in the Temple by the
prophets there. That should have told them
something. However, they ignored it.
Unfortunately, Herod did not ignore it and
killed many people as history records.
Judah was then sent John the Baptist to
prophesy of his coming. He commenced to
preach in the year of the Jubilee and he
baptised his cousin Yahoshua the Christ in
the Jordan as is well recorded. He was
imprisoned and killed by the Hasmoneans.
Christ began his ministry, as is recorded,
after the imprisonment of the Baptist, which
occurred after the Passover of 28 CE. He
told them that they were sinning by their
traditions and he commenced the Church in
replacement of the Levitical priesthood. The
entire nation of Judah had the Bible texts and
the prophecies that told them that the Temple
was to be destroyed.
They were sent Christ as the greatest prophet
they had ever known. He preached to them
for two years as Jonah had preached to
Nineveh for two days after walking in a
day’s Journey into Nineveh and then
commenced preaching. Jonah had been
prepared and a great fish had been prepared
for him and he was placed in its belly and
taken to do his job at Nineveh. In like
manner Christ had given up his pre-existence
as the Great Angel of the Covenant that gave
the Law to Moses at Sinai and was placed in
the belly of a virgin and carried for nine
months and then born in Bethlehem, which
is the seat and family inheritance of David.
Christ was born as a prince of Judah of the
line of Jesse and David. His promised
inheritance was to be the entire nation of
Israel and the entire fullness of the Gentiles
was to be inducted into them as prophesied
by Jacob in the blessing of Ephraim and not
Judah (Gen. 48:13-22, esp. v. 19). His
inheritance as one of the sons of God was
recorded in Deuteronomy 32:8 as recorded in
the Septuagint (LXX) and the Dead Sea
Scrolls (DSS) and that is why the rabbis had
to alter the Masoretic Text (MT) to disguise
the fact that the Yahovah of Israel had been
given Israel as his inheritance by God. They
Page 6
also altered the MT in 132 places to disguise
the relationship of Yahovah and Yahovih
(see the paper Angel of YHVH (No. 24)). He
was the angel mentioned by Jacob in the
blessings at Genesis 48:16 that had protected
him all his life. They will do anything rather
than admit this relationship in the OT texts.
The Trinitarian Church responses to the
Jewish claims merely further corrupt their
understanding.
The Jewish claims are simply that:
“According to Jewish sources, the Messiah will
be born of human parents and possess normal
physical attributes like other people. He will not
be a demi-god, (1) nor will he possess
supernatural qualities.
The Messiah must be descended on his father’s
side from King David (see Genesis 49:10 and
Isaiah 11:1). According to the Christian claim that
Jesus was the product of a virgin birth, he had no
father—and thus could not have possibly fulfilled
the messianic requirement of being descended on
his father’s side from King David! (2)” (ibid.).
This is tied in to the desire to deny the
supernatural aspect of the Messiah. Christ
could not have held the kingship as a
descendant of Jeconiah unless he had
specific dispensation of God. He achieved
that in his relationship with Joseph as his
adoptive father. Joseph was a descendant of
Coniah and thus his son could not have been
king without direct dispensation from God.
The Messiah has to be of the lineage of Levi
through Shimei also (see # 119 ibid).
Isaiah 11:1 says that the Messiah had to be of
the root and stem of Jesse the father of David
and a branch out of his roots. It is true that
only a male can carry the YDNA of his
father. Christ was dependent upon God for
the creation of his YDNA to mirror that of
the line of David, as was Adam dependent
on God for his YDNA. Yet the Jews claim
specifically that a person cannot be a Jew
unless it is born from a Jewish mother, as it
inherits its Jewishness from its mother.
Messiah has to also have come from a Levite
of Shimei. We know for a fact that Mariam
had both Jewish lineage from her father and
Levite lineage from her mother, as Mariam’s
mother was the sister of Elisabeth the wife of
the High Priest of the division of Abijah and
the mother of John the Baptist. These lines
of priests married only Levites. The fact is
that Mariam covered these two requirements.
Messiah also has to be the Son of God and
that is the crucial aspect. The Son of God
meant he was the Yahovah of Israel, his
inheritance. He was the subordinate deity
and Son of God, which he claimed to be at
his trial before the High Priesthood. The NT
also records that the High Priest prophesied
that year that a man had to die for the
salvation of the nation. Job has stated many
centuries before that one of the thousand had
to redeem him and that he prophesied of the
Resurrection and that he would see the
Messiah with his own eyes and not another’s
eyes and he will pray unto Eloah and He will
be favourable to him and he will see Eloah’s
face with joy. That means he has to become
a spirit in order to see Eloah and live. No
man can see Eloah and never has seen Him
and never will be able to see Him (cf. Job
33:23-28). Eloah is the maker or creator (Job
35:10). The Sons of God and the Morning
Stars existed before the creation of this earth
(Job 38:4-7), being created by Eloah.
The piercing of the Messiah was declared in
Psalm 22 and in Zechariah 12. Christ
fulfilled this prophecy of Psalm 22. He
quoted it on the stauros or stake and it was
fulfilled. It deals with the necessary
execution of the Messiah and the only way
these wounds and death were inflicted in
history was by the “unhappy tree” or stauros
which was a barbaric method of death
invented by the Phoenicians. The Romans
added a cross bar to this stake long after the
death of Christ. Christ could only have come
in the time he did and suffer as he did. The
Masoretes altered the name Yahovah
(Jehovah) to Adonai in this psalm twice (in
vv. 19 and 30) to disguise the intent further.
The text records that God did not turn His
face from him but did indeed deliver him
and the declaration of his righteousness was
The False Messiah
indeed declared to a people that were yet to
be born.
The assertion by Jews that Psalm 22:16 (17)
“they have pierced my hands and feet” as
being a mistranslation depends on the
standard rabbinical translation of the text as:
“Like a lion they are at my hands and my
feet”. The word is ‘ariy (SHD 738) which
means a young lion, but the sense is taken
from the margin of the texts which has the
concept of piercing the hands and the feet
which is what they did to Christ in nailing
him to the stake. The word is derived from
SHD 717 meaning to gather or pluck. The
rabbinical use seems to be done to hide its
other meaning. The use of the dogs and lion
analogy refers to the people and their actions
in the death of the Messiah and is quite
consistent with its traditional rendering.
Psalm 82:6 was the reference text for which
Christ was put to death. He declared himself
the elohim that was to judge the earth and
inherit all nations (Ps. 82:8). This elohim
stood in the congregation of the elohim and
judged among them. The fallen Host are
judged by him and are sent to the pit just as
any men. But this elohim was appointed as
an elohim by The Most High, the Elyon, who
is Eloah. This elohim is the elohim of Psalm
45:6-7 who is the God of David yet is his
descendant. If he had no pre-existence and
judges among the gods, how then is he just a
man with no pre-existence? (See the paper
The Pre-Existence of Jesus Christ (No.
243).)
If he is the son of David only, how then does
David, in the Holy Spirit, call him Lord? viz.
“The Lord said to my Lord” (Ps. 110:1). The
Sanhedrin could not answer it then and they
cannot answer it now. If he has no life in the
Host how then can he confess us before the
Council of the Elohim? It follows he must
have lived and died when he did and as he
did and have had life in the Host sitting on
the Right Hand Side of God while the elect
are being born in order to fulfil prophecy and
the plan of God. If the Messiah were a man
born in these last days then Scripture has
Page 7
been broken. The translators of the LXX
understood that the Messiah had preexistence as in Isaiah 9:5-6 they translated it
to read Angel of Great Counsel (see the
paper Isaiah 9:6 (No 224)).
Isaiah is clear in chapter 53 when he says
that the Messiah had no form or comeliness
and no beauty. He was to be despised and
rejected of men. The Jews thought he was
smitten by God in 30 CE and they still think
he was smitten for his own doings and was
not the Messiah of this prophecy. Yet Isaiah
says specifically that he was wounded for
our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities.
The chastisement of our peace was upon him
and with his stripes we are healed. All of us
have sinned and on Christ was laid the
iniquity of us all (Isa. 53:3-6).
Isaiah shows quite clearly in chapter 53 that
the Messiah had to die for our sins. He was
to be imprisoned, flogged, tortured in
silence, judged and sentenced, and be put to
death, which as we know involved piercing
of the hands and feet, and that could only
have been by death on the stake. He was
punished with the wicked then buried in the
newly carved tomb of a rich man among
other rich men’s tombs. Jesus the Christ did
all of these things and it is quite impossible
for any Jew today to fulfil these prophecies.
If Jesus is not the Christ, as the rabbis admit,
they have no idea as to who it might be.
Christ was made to be an offering for sin in
death and Eloah raised him from the grave
and he was to see his seed, which was the
elect of the church and the doctrines and
prophecy he taught. He will live forever and
thus prolong his days as prophesied. His
doctrines justified many. He was appointed a
portion with the great and divided the spoil
with the strong because he poured out his
soul to death and was numbered with the
transgressors and bore the sin of many and
made intercession for the transgressors (cf.
Isa. 53:7-12). This prophecy cannot cover the
life of a normal man and involves
resurrection from the dead.
Page 8
To suggest that this text, in following on
from chapter 52, refers to the Babylonian
captivity and could not refer to Christ and his
death is bizarre as the structure of chapter 52
develops into the restoration of Jerusalem
and Zion and then refers to the Messiah as
being marred beyond semblance and that
through him the nations will understand that
which was not told to them and they shall
see and understand that which they have not
heard (Isa. 52:14-15). Through him and his
sacrifice the Holy Spirit would give them
understanding. That set the scene for chapter
53. The matter is also covered in more detail
in the paper The Significance of the Term
Son of God (No. 211).
The Jews have continually made a burden of
the Sabbath and made the Laws of God of no
effect with their traditions. They do this to
this day but even more so, and they sin
continually in their traditions and perversion
of the laws of God. They level the same
charges today at Christ as they did when he
was prophesying to them and judging them,
as he was sent to do by God.
Simmons then follows on to suggest:
“From where did these mistranslations stem? St.
Gregory, 4th century Bishop of Nazianzus, wrote:
‘A little jargon is all that is necessary to impose
on the people. The less they comprehend, the
more they admire.’"
Throughout the New Testament, Jesus contradicts
the Torah and states that its commandments are
no longer applicable. (see John 1:45 and 9:16,
Acts 3:22 and 7:37) For example, John 9:14
records that Jesus made a paste in violation of
Shabbat, which caused the Pharisees to say (verse
16), ‘He does not observe Shabbat!’"
Now this man has either not read the
statements of Christ and the apostles in the
NT or he is deliberately misrepresenting the
texts. He appears to be supporting the
Gnostic assertions regarding the writings of
Paul and the Law and using them because it
suits him. The Messiah is to bring salvation
to the Gentiles and the Jews want to hold
him to Judah.
Christ stated clearly twice: “Till heaven and
earth pass away not one jot or tittle (i.e. dot
or comma) will pass from the law, until all is
accomplished (cf. Mat. 5: 17,18; Lk. 16:17).
He castigated the Pharisees for having the
law given to Moses but they did not keep the
law (Jn. 7:19:24). They are condemned by
their traditions and there is no light in them
(Isa. 8:20) (see the papers The Acts 15
Conference (No. 69) and PAUL: Part I Paul
and the Law (No. 271)).
Jews argue that the Hebrew texts must be
read in the original and that many are
mistranslated in referring to Christ.
What nonsense. The ravings of an original
Trinitarian opportunist at the end of the
fourth century is hardly surprising but to
suggest that he influenced the four centuries
of preceding Christianity is an insult to one’s
intelligence. This sort of rabbinical nonsense
was as much to blame for the rise of Islam as
was the Trinitarianism that was established
from 381-451 CE.
Isaiah 7:14 is often given as an example. It
refers to a virgin giving birth and the
refutation is made as follows:
R. Shraga Simmons had this to say on Torah
observance:
The problem is that there are two words used
in relation to a virgin in the Hebrew texts.
The first is bethuwlah (SHD 1330) meaning
to separate meaning a virgin from her
privacy, and sometimes a bride also
figuratively a city or state; hence a maid or
virgin.
“The Messiah will lead the Jewish people to full
Torah observance. The Torah states that all
mitzvot (commandments) remain binding forever,
and anyone coming to change the Torah is
immediately identified as a false prophet. (Deut.
13:1-4)
“The Christian idea of a virgin birth is derived
from the verse in Isaiah 7:14 describing an ‘alma’
as giving birth. The word ‘alma’ has always
meant a young woman, but Christian theologians
came centuries later and translated it as ‘virgin.’
This accords Jesus’ birth with the first century
pagan idea of mortals being impregnated by
gods.” (Simmons, ibid.)
The False Messiah
This word (SHD 1330) is used in every case
referring to a virgin in the Hebrew in the
sense of maid or bride or virgin or virgins
with the exception of four instances where
the word (SHD 5959) “alma” (sic) is used.
One of these is in Genesis 24:43 when it is
referring to the instance of the revelation of
Rebekah being revealed as the wife of Isaac
to Abraham’s steward and the text is specific
that she is a virgin. It has a spiritual meaning
for the elect of God. The next references are
in the Song of Songs at Song 1:3; and 6:8
which refer specifically to the spiritual
virgins that love the Messiah (see the paper
Song of Songs No. (145)). The text is
recognised by many rabbis as a Messianic
text. On both occasions it is in the plural and
is applied to the love of the virgins in the
texts.
The next text is in Isaiah 7:14. This refers to
the mother of the Messiah. The symbolism in
the first case refers to the virginity of the
mother of the physical sons of Isaac as the
inheritance of Messiah and the text in Isaiah
refers to the Mother of the Messiah as listed
in prophecy. The uses in the Song of Songs
are in reference to the elect in relation to the
Messiah. The word is also translated as
“maid” in Exodus 2:8 where the term is
applied to Miriam, sister of Moses who was
a virgin but also a prophetess of Israel in
Levi. In each case it has the import of setting
the elect or consecrated of God apart for
their task in the salvation of man by faith.
There are a number of other words used for
maiden/s etc. but this one word (SHD 5959)
is rare. It is used 5 times in this context, and
is only ever used to develop the concept of
the spiritual aspect of virginity as well as its
physical aspect. This depiction by the Jews is
false and is in fact anti-Messianic to disguise
its implications.
The people embracing Judaism make the
assertion that Judaism is the only religion
based on the direct revelation by God to the
entire nation. Judaism is not based on the
Laws of God and the direct revelation of
God to the nation of Israel. It is in fact a
Page 9
direct perversion of virtually everything God
told Israel to do.
The very being (Christ) that spoke to the
patriarchs and gave Israel the law at Sinai
was sent by God to assume human form. He
returned to God and was placed in the womb
of a selected Jewess of the House of David.
He spoke with Judah and the Levites there as
well as the Canaanites and Edomites and
Phoenicians among them. The majority not
only did not listen to him, they also killed
him, and then after being given 40 years to
the month to repent refused to do so. They
killed his brother seven years before the
Temple was destroyed, and they were finally
sent in to captivity, as it was prophesied by
Daniel and they did not understand what they
did. However enough of them, Levites
included, formed the Church of God, which
will serve Him forever.
Judah and the remnant of Levi and other
tribes among them were given two witnesses
in John the Baptist and Christ. The brother
of Christ who was also of the same blood
and was a direct descendant of David of
Judah and of Levi remained at his post as
witness to Judah and Jerusalem for 33 years.
In accordance with Daniel 9:25, at the end of
the 69th week of years, he was cut off but not
for himself. Then the church, after the death
of Clophas, husband of Maria, sister of
Mariam, fled to Pella under Simeon, son of
Clophas. He was the cousin of Christ.
Judah was then destroyed and the Temple
levelled to the ground. From there the rabbis
emerged in control and they developed from
the Pharisees, who were their predecessors.
Judaism emerged and became twice the child
of the demons that the Pharisees had made it
beforehand.
The assertion that Christianity contradicts
Jewish theology is correct. Jewish theology
contradicts the Law of God. However, for a
Jew to assert that Trinitarianism or
Binitarianism or Ditheism is Christianity is
simply borne out of ignorance of the Bible
and the Church of God. Trinitarian
Page 10
Antinomianism is not Christianity any more
than Judaism was the religion practised
under Moses and the Prophets.
Judaism is heresy because:
1. It makes no admittance of the plurality
and distinction between Eloah and the
sons of God who are elohim.
2. It has introduced the Babylonian calendar
with its heretical intercalations and the
postponements by tradition into the
Calendar and misleads all people seeking
genuinely to follow God. It virtually
never keeps a feast or Holy Day on the
correct days and most of the time not
even in the correct month. It has
abandoned the New Moons to achieve
this false calendar.
3. It renders the Law of God of no effect by
its traditions.
The Jewish claims that Christians argue that
man is God is a misunderstanding of the
Bible texts.
Zechariah 12:8 clearly states that man shall
become elohim. There is no doubt that the
destiny of us all is to become elohim (see the
paper The Elect as Elohim (No. 001)).
There is distinct plurality to the elohim but
there is only one true God Eloah. The elohim
are an extended being where the one true
God Eloah is extending Himself to include
all of the Host, both spiritual and physical,
when they become spirits. He is Ha Elohim.
They are all elohim as the plurality that
Eloah has become as Ha Elohim with many
sons of God from the beginning of the
Spiritual creation. The rabbis simply do not
understand their own Bible texts.
The fact is that God and Christ are one (Jn
10:30) as we all are one, and as elohim, on
the resurrections. They did not understand it
then and they do not understand it now. One
day very soon the scales will be removed
from their eyes and they will repent and be
saved.
They do not understand that it was the
elohim that was at Sinai and who appeared
to Israel and gave them the law, who came to
them in the form of Jesus Christ. He was the
being that appeared and even wrestled with
the patriarchs.
The Torah says: "God is not a mortal (man),
neither the son of man that he should repent”
(Num. 23:19a). The Jews use the first section
of this half text to try to destroy the
Trinitarian argument but ignore the reference
to the Son of Man which shows that the Son
of Man as identified in Christ is distinct from
the One True God. His repentance or regret
was for the sins of the world and hence this
was an early prophecy of the role of Messiah
as outlined in Isaiah 53 and elsewhere.
Judaism says that the Messiah will be born
of human parents, and possess normal
physical attributes like other people. He will
not be a demi-god, and will not possess
supernatural qualities. In fact, an individual
is alive in every generation with the capacity
to step into the role of the Messiah (see
Maimonides - Laws of Kings 11:3).
Judaism deliberately misconstrues Roman
Catholic error over prayers to intermediaries,
contrary to Christ’s specific instructions.
Christ’s statement that no man comes to the
Father except by him, meaning in baptism
and mediation for sin through his death and
resurrection, is ignored in its intent as are his
specific instructions that prayer is to be to
the Father in the name of Christ.
It is true that prayer is a private matter
between the person and God. God is near to
those who call unto Him (Ps. 145:18). The
assertion that the First Commandment that
states: “You shall have no other gods before
me” means it is forbidden to set up a
mediator
between
God
and
man
misunderstands the notion of what a
mediator means in the NT, and is directed at
the heresy of the Roman Catholic Church
which encourages prayer to intermediaries of
The False Messiah
various forms, which is specifically against
Christ’s instruction regarding prayer.
The Roman Catholic aberrations of
Mariolatry and celibacy are against the direct
exhortations of the Bible, and it is
superfluous to deal with their straw man
arguments
against
Catholicism
as
representative of Christianity, which it is not.
The False Messiah in the Last Days
It is clear that two figures are mentioned in
the Bible texts as appearing on the world
scene at the Last Days. These two figures are
the False Prophet that works with the Beast
so that men should receive its mark (Rev.
19:20) and from his mouth, and the mouth of
the Dragon and the mouth of the Beast three
foul spirits like frogs go forth to deceive and
assemble the kings of the earth to the great
battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:13-16). The
being termed the man of lawlessness
(sometimes referred to by some sections as
the
antichrist)
is
developed
in
2Thessalonians chapter 2. The coming of
Christ is preceded by the establishment of
the man of lawlessness, who is termed the
son of perdition. This being opposes and
exalts himself above every so-called god and
every object of worship. He takes his seat in
the Temple of God, proclaiming himself to
be God (v. 4).
There are only two alternatives to this text.
One is that a Physical Temple will be built;
the other is that the man comes out of the
Church of God. The probability is that we
will be looking at the false prophet operating
from Jerusalem and also the head of the
Beast power, which may or not be the same
person. There will certainly be a
spokesperson for the Beast power. The
structure of the False Prophet with the world
religion will attempt to classify the Church
of God expanding in the Last Days before
the Messiah as the Church of the Antichrist.
That is based on the fact that the church
holds to the Laws of God and does not deny
the Christ. Christ will come to save these
people.
Page 11
The Beast power will at first use the Roman
Catholic Church that is to attempt to ride it
this one last time. However, it will expand
beyond it and destroy it as prophesied in
Revelation chapter 18. The War of the Last
Days will destroy Rome and finally the Last
Pope. It is said he will leave Rome over the
bodies of his priests. His rule will be over
the complete demise and eradication of the
consolidated Trinitarian Church (see also the
paper The Last Pope (No. 288)).
All these things will happen over the time
frame of these last days between 2010 and
the final restoration of 2025, and the treble
harvest for the Jubilee in 2027 and the
Millennium in 2028. From this time onwards
the Temple will be rebuilt by the true
Messiah and the Laws of God will be
enforced.
The False Prophet/Man of Sin will be
opposed by two biblical figures known as the
Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:2ff; see the paper
The Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses)
(No. 135)).
It is obvious that, to get the world to accept
the New Temple, the False Messiah will
have to deceive the larger part of Israel both
Spiritual and Physical. This individual then
sits in the Temple declaring himself to be
God.
The False Messiah or False Prophet will
work with the Red Dragon and the demons
of the Beast system to bring all men down to
Armageddon. This activity will occur
between next Passover and the coming of the
True Messiah. After the Euphrates is dried
up and the power there is destroyed the
Kings of the East will come down to
Megiddo. That event, however, includes the
Northern powers after they destroy the king
of the South and then those of the North
East. After the Northern powers are
destroyed then the kings of the East are
brought down to Meggido. We will explain
the timing of that phase in a later work.
Page 12
Selection of the Prince
The second step in the sequence was to
select the Nasi or prince of Judah. This
process was commenced after they
commenced to rebuild the Hurva in 2001.
The writer was informed by those involved
that the Nasi would be selected at the
meeting in 2005. One of the major
contenders was to be the House of Dayan.
Another house was that of Salathiel. A big
problem occurred when the DNA testing was
undertaken and it was found that the people
tested from these houses were found not to
be Jews. They were Hg. R Hittite/Celts (see
the paper The Genetic Origin of the Nations
(No. 265)). There is a major problem in that
northern Hittite DNA is in the major clans of
the royal house of Judah. This is examined in
the paper titled Hittites in the House of
David (No. 67C). The process of selection is
underway and it will be announced soon and
anytime after the New Year following on
from the completion of the Hurva Synagogue
Mk. III.
How is the matter made to occur?
How then do Jews intend to relate to the
Gentiles and get them to accept their false
Messiah and “convert” to the so-called basic
tenets of the Bible?
The answer is simple and they have already
made this assertion to the world in the form
of the so-called “Seven Noahide Laws”. The
so-called Noahide laws are a clear attempt to
do away with the Laws of God in the
nations. This is the underpinning of the
mystery of Iniquity.
getting from the Temple, they’d never have
destroyed it.
Jews have never actively sought converts to
Judaism because the Torah prescribes a righteous
path for gentiles to follow, known as the "Seven
Laws of Noah." Maimonides explains that any
human being who faithfully observes these basic
moral laws earns a proper place in heaven.”
(Simmons, ibid.)
The Seven Laws of Noah
The so-called Seven Laws of Noah are:
1. Sexual transgression; (including its many
forms);
2. Murder;
3. Theft;
4. Idolatry;
5. Blasphemy (Cursing the Name);
6. Eating the limb of a living animal;
7. The requirement for just laws within a
society.
These seven laws are spurious nonsense in
that no such system was ever in place from
Noah, and the Patriarchs were far more
advanced and law abiding than this devious
ruse of rabbinical Judaism would have us
believe. Noah took on the ark seven pairs of
every clean animal and one pair of unclean.
The Foodlaws were in place from the
Creation (see the paper The Foodlaws (No.
15) and also the paper Vegetarianism and the
Bible (No. 183)). So also was the
understanding of the creation and the
calendar in its entirety. Josephus records that
the two pillars of stone and brick explaining
the calendar were erected by Seth, and the
pillar of stone recording the erection of both
pillars was still in place in Siriad (Syria) in
his day (Josephus, A. of J., Bk. 1; 2.3).
They hold that:
“Judaism does not demand that everyone convert
to the religion. The Torah of Moses is a truth for
all humanity, whether Jewish or not. King
Solomon asked God to heed the prayers of nonJews who come to the Holy Temple (Kings I
8:41-43). The prophet Isaiah refers to the Temple
as a "House for all nations."
The Temple service during Sukkot featured 70
bull offerings, corresponding to the 70 nations of
the world. The Talmud says that if the Romans
would have realized how much benefit they were
The law of Idolatry is so obscure as to be
designed
to
obscure
the
second
commandment, as is the custom among
Catholics, so as to appeal to the idea that it is
acceptable to make idols to pray to as long as
they are of “Mary” or called intermediary
saints.
They then assert that the systems of Justice
of the Gentile nations are up to them as long
The False Messiah
as they keep to the lines of the Seven
Noachide or Noahide Laws. They are then
assured of earning a “place in heaven” which
is a pagan concept totally contrary to original
Christianity and to the Bible.
God has said, through his servants the
prophets, that the entire calendar – of
Sabbaths, New Moons and Feasts – is to be
kept by all nations in the Millennial
Restoration of the Messiah and the nations
will die if they do not keep it (Isa. 66:23;
Zech. 14:16-19).
This Noahide Laws’ deception is then
advanced as fact, and even the congress of
the US has endorsed them because it suits
the Trinitarians to do so thinking that they
are on fairly safe grounds. Even the Irish
parliament has passed a meaningless and
unenforceable law on blasphemy. Their
constitution is a Trinitarian document and
requires the Trinity, being orchestrated by
the Roman Catholics in 1937.
The Law stood from Adam and was
observed by the Patriarchs and was reissued
in full to Moses at Sinai by Jesus Christ who
was with them in the wilderness (1Cor.
10:4).

for redemption. As the Talmud says, one of the
first questions a Jew is asked on Judgment Day is:
‘Did you yearn for the arrival of the Messiah?’
How can we hasten the coming of the Messiah?
The best way is to love all humanity generously,
to keep the mitzvot of the Torah (as best we can),
and to encourage others to do so as well.
Despite the gloom, the world does seem headed
toward redemption. One apparent sign is that the
Jewish people have returned to the Land of Israel
and made it bloom again. Additionally, a major
movement is afoot of young Jews returning to
Torah tradition.
The Messiah can come at any moment, and it all
depends on our actions. God is ready when we
are. For as King David says: "Redemption will
come today—if you hearken to His voice."
(cf. R. Shraga Simmons Largely adapted from
Aish.com)
Note the comments are towards Torah
tradition. From the 1st day of Abib this year
in 2010, after the completion of the Hurva
synagogue in Jerusalem, an attempt will be
made to establish the Temple on the Mount
in Zion. To do that a false Messiah will be
announced in the near future. He will be a
charismatic leader and false prophet that will
interact with the New World Order.
The following is the Jewish common view
on the coming of the Messiah:
From before December of 2010 a religious
revival will occur and the situation will
deteriorate. Within a short period of time we
will see all-out war, and the occupation of
Gaza from the sea going up to include
Jerusalem by the forces of the King of the
North under an “Antichrist” figure.
They note that Maimonides held that
Christianity and Islam are part of God’s plan
to spread the ideals of Torah throughout the
world, moving society to a perfected state.
All of that is held to be in preparation for a
Messianic Age which they hold is to come
(as the Bible states), and they deny the return
of a Messiah they hold has never come.
The Empire of the Beast will be established
from the treaties established from the
Copenhagen discussions on 2 December
2009. Agreements will be signed by July of
2010 leading up to the orchestrated financial
collapse and the New World Order will
assume world power. WWIII will now
escalate and nearly destroy the world.
Simmons says:
[Note: The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)
convened the 3rd World Conference of
Speakers of Parliament from 19 to 21 July.
The broad theme for the 2010 Conference
was Parliaments in a world of crisis:

This false system will deceive if it were
possible even the very elect.
It will have a false messiah in Jerusalem that
keeps a false calendar with the Babylonian
intercalations and the oral traditions. It will
deny the Christ that saved us all.
Laodicea will be overcome because they
have been corrupted already by these
doctrines and that of Ditheism and many will
fall.
Right now many are falling by the wayside
and some are actually becoming Jews and
deny the Christ that saved them. They are
waiting, ready to be seduced by this false
messiah. There are concentrations of them in
the US where the cult of the personality has
destroyed the Churches of God already.
Time is short. There is much work to do.
