Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! "The Book of the Jubilees" which is also known by some as "Lesser Genesis" is a very interesting book as it gives us more background and how the background was given. We learned in part one that Moses received this word on Mount Sinai from an Angel/Malek (Messenger) of the LORD, in the second chapter, we learn about what God created and on which days...and we also learn that God's Chosen People: ISRAEL are to keep the Shabbats. To not do so is to die. Yesterday, we learned that Adam and Eve were cursed for taking from the tree in the middle of the Garden, then we go down the lines until we hit Noah and his family and learn that there were a lot more people born of Adam and Eve then we have heard of in Genesis. After this, Noah gets into the Ark and the waters begin to rise; and the world completely changes and we are given our calendar. 13 weeks between each change of the season. 4 Divisions. Each start at the Observance of the New Moon. 364 Day calendar! As Noah commands his son about the observances and of what he sees of his own children and how they have been fighting and their children aren't doing what they are supposed to, Noah tells them that he worries that they will be taken care of by God...and not in a good way, which leads us to the sons of Noah dividing their inheritance (the earth) by using lots. We learn of the land which they decided upon, and Noah is overjoyed because of a prophecy that he had spoken about Shem and The Almighty God blessing him. Who are Shem's people -- eventually? The Sons of Jacob...The Twelve Tribes... ISRAEL. And in the 9th Chapter, Noah has his son's swear an oath that when they divide their land to their sons, that none of them will try to take any of their brothers' land. What happens if they do? Cursed... which brings us to Canaan and how he stole from Shem's lot... which makes a lot more sense as to why Canaan is The Land of Milk and Honey and how it is The Promised Land of God's Chosen People through Shem's line. Then we come to Babel, and the son's language have now been confounded...and the people who once spoke Hebrew are no longer. Things are far away from The Most High God now, and the land has now gone from being divided between Noah's son's sons to Ham's son Canaan, taking Shem's land. So...we now are seeing the line that leads us down into Abram (Abraham) who we learn loves God and has learned basically what not to do from his father's example. And the coolest part? God speaks to him and Abraham listens! God chooses him because Abraham chose God and God reveals to him the language of Hebrew, and now Abraham has been given his fathers' books... what books you say? Oh, just the ones that Noah scribed... And guess what? Nobody has been able to read the language for many years. So, this all fits with the other book that I have been reading "The Book of Formation" Serif Yetzirah... After favoring and blessing Abraham, God shows him everything that he can see and tells him that this land and all of it is his and his people's. He is the Father of All Nations! So, now we learn that Lot, his nephew, has been taken, and Abraham leaves to go get him. Which brings us to Abram having a vision and a promise that he will father a child, that he will have many. God shows him that his people will be strangers in a strange land for 400 years...which brings us to the circumcision and the importance of it and what it means to get it and not get it. This is the torah...We see in 16 that Abraham will not pass away until after he sees all of his children born (6 more sons) after Isaac. We also learn that all of those children of Abraham will be gentiles....all but Isaac. In Isaac is the Holy Kodesh...seed... At the end of 17, the demon prince wants Yahweh to ask Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to see if he will do it or not... This is a whole Job situation here...and now we have made it to the 18th and 19th chapter where Jacob and Esau are born and Isaac loves Esau the best and Rebecca loves Jacob the best, but Abraham's blessing is going to go to Jacob... He tells Rebecca to take care of Jacob because he is special. And now we come to 20 and 21 where Abraham is on his death bed and gives instructions on what to do and what not to do... One is no fornicating, and the other no marrying anyone from Canaan... The people from Canaan will be rooted out...
Once again, my commentary on this is in BOLD. :) Enjoy! This is copied from online sources as it is FREE for all. This book was taken out by almost all mainstream bibles. I use the KJV and it was removed by the Nicean Council. More on that later.
The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 22
Yitschaq and Ishmael come to celebrate "The Feast of Weeks" before Abrahams death
1 And it came to pass in the first week in the forty-fourth jubilee, in the second year, that is, the year in which Abraham died, that Yitschaq and Ishmael came from the "Well of the Oath" to celebrate "The Feast of Weeks" -that is, "The Feast of the First Fruits" of the harvest -to Abraham, their father, and Abraham rejoiced because his two sons had come.
2 For Yitschaq had many possessions in Beersheba, and Yitschaq was wont to go and see his possessions and to return to his father.
3 And in those days Ishmael came to see his father, and they both came together, and Yitschaq offered a sacrifice for a burnt offering, and presented it on the altar of his father which he had made in Hebron.
4 And he offered a thank offering and made a feast of joy before Ishmael, his brother: and Rebecca made new cakes from the new grain, and gave them to Yacob, her son, to take them to Abraham, his father, from the first fruits of the land, that he might eat and bless the Creator of all things before he died.
5 And Yitschaq, too, sent by the hand of Yacob to Abraham a best thank offering, that he might eat and drink. (So, none of this is in Genesis...There is no meeting between Isaac and Ishamel ever that I have seen in The Old Testament after they (Ishmael and Hagar) are sent away.)
6 And he eat and drank, and blessed the Most High YAHWEH, Who has created heaven and earth, Who has made all the fat things of the earth, And given them to the children of men That they might eat and drink and bless their Creator.
7 'And now I give thanks unto You, my Sovereign Ruler, because you have caused me to see this day: behold, I am one hundred and seventy five years, an old man and full of days, and all my days have been unto me shalom.
8 The sword of the adversary has not overcome me in all that You have given me and my children all the days of my life until this day.
9 My Sovereign Ruler, may Your mercy and Your shalom be upon Your servant, and upon the seed of his sons, that they may be to You a chosen nation and an inheritance from amongst all the nations of the earth from henceforth unto all the days of the generations of the earth, unto all the ages.'
10 And he called Yacob and said: 'My son Yacob, may YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of all bless you and strengthen you to do righteousness, and His will before Him, and may He choose you and your seed that you may become a people for His inheritance according to His will always.
11 And do you, my son, Yacob, draw near and kiss me.' And he drew near and kissed him, and he said: 'Blessed be my son Yacob And all the sons of YAHWEH Most High, unto all the ages: May YAHWEH give unto you a seed of righteousness; And some of your sons may He sanctify in the midst of the whole earth; May nations serve you, And all the nations bow themselves before your seed.
12 Be strong in the presence of men, And exercise authority over all the seed of Seth. Then your ways and the ways of your sons will be justified, So that they shall become a kodesh nation.
13 May the Most High YAHWEH give you all the blessings Wherewith He has blessed me And wherewith He blessed Noah and Adam; May they rest on the sacred head of your seed from generation to generation forever.
14 And may He cleanse you from all unrighteousness and impurity, that you may be forgiven all the transgressions; which you have committed ignorantly. And may He strengthen you, and bless you.
15 And may you inherit the whole earth, And may He renew His covenant with you. That you may be to Him a nation for His inheritance for all the ages, and that He may be to you and to your seed a ALMIGHTY in truth and righteousness throughout all the days of the earth.
16 And do you, my son Yacob, remember my words, And observe the commandments of Abraham, your father: Separate yourself from the nations, And eat not with them: And do not according to their works, And become not their associate; For their works are unclean, And all their ways are a pollution and an abomination and uncleanness.
17 They offer their sacrifices to the dead and they worship evil spirits, and they eat over the graves, and all their works are vanity and nothingness.
18 They have no heart to understand and their eyes do not see what their works are, and how they err in saying to a piece of wood: 'You are my Sovereign Ruler,' and to a stone: 'You are my Sovereign Ruler and you are my deliverer.' [And they have no heart.]
19 And as for you, my son Yacob, May the Most High YAHWEH help you, and the ALMIGHTY of heaven bless you, and remove you from their uncleanness and from all their error.
20 Be you ware, my son Yacob, of taking a wife from any seed of the daughters of Canaan; for all his seed is to be rooted out of the earth.
21 For, owing to the transgression of Ham, Canaan erred, and all his seed shall be destroyed from off the earth and all the residue thereof, and none springing from him shall be saved on the day of judgment. (So, this right here says that Canaan's people will not be written in the book of life...I'm wondering how many people will trace back to these roots.)
23 Fear not, my son Yacob, and be not dismayed, O son of Abraham: May the Most High YAHWEH preserve you from destruction, And from all the paths of error may he deliver you.
24 This house have I built for myself that I might put my name upon it in the earth: [it is given to you and to your seed forever], and it will be named the house of Abraham; it is given to you and to your seed forever; for you will build my house and establish my name before YAHWEH forever: your seed and your name will stand throughout all generations of the earth.'
25 And he ceased commanding him and blessing him.
26 And the two lay together on one bed, and Yacob slept in the bosom of Abraham, his father's father and he kissed him seven times, and his affection and his heart rejoiced over him.
27 And he blessed him with all his heart and said: 'The Most High YAHWEH, the Sovereign Ruler of all, and Creator of all, who brought me forth from Ur of the Chaldees that He might give me this land to inherit it forever, and that I might establish a kodesh seed-blessed be the Most High forever.'
28 And he blessed Yacob and said: 'My son, over whom with all my heart and my affection I rejoice, may Your free unmerited favor and Your mercy be lift up upon him and upon his seed always.
29 And do not forsake him, nor set him at naught from henceforth unto the days of eternity, and may Your eyes be opened upon him and upon his seed, that You may preserve him, and
30 bless him, and may make him kodesh as a nation for Your inheritance; And bless him with all Your blessings from henceforth unto all the days of eternity, and renew Your covenant and Your free unmerited favor with him and with his seed according to all Your good pleasure unto all the generations of the earth.'
WOW! So, now that's an exit... Abraham blessed Jacob big time. What do you think about how the blessing skipped over Ishmael completely? Do you think it was fair? What about Canaan and his seed? Who do you think are the modern-day Canaanites?
The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 23
Yacob was lying in Abraham bosom and he Died
1 And he placed two fingers of Yacob on his eyes, and he blessed the ALMIGHTY of gods, and he covered his face and stretched out his feet and slept the sleep of eternity, and was gathered to his fathers.
2 And notwithstanding all this Yacob was lying in his bosom, and knew not that Abraham, his father's father, was dead.
3 And Yacob awoke from his sleep, and behold Abraham was cold as ice, and he said 'Father, father'; but there was none that spoke, and he knew that he was dead.
4 And he arose from his bosom and ran and told Rebecca, his mother; and Rebecca went to Yitschaq in the night, and told him; and they went together, and Yacob with them, and a lamp was in his hand, and when they had gone in they found Abraham lying dead.
5 And Yitschaq fell on the face of his father and wept and kissed him.
6 And the voices were heard in the house of Abraham, and Ishmael his son arose, and went to Abraham his father, and wept over Abraham his father, he and all the house of Abraham, and they wept with a great weeping.
7 And his sons Yitschaq and Ishmael buried him in the double cave, near Sarah his wife, and they wept for him forty days, all the men of his house, and Yitschaq and Ishmael, and all their sons, and all the sons of Keturah in their places; and the days of weeping for Abraham were ended.
8 And he lived three jubilees and four weeks of years, one hundred
9 and seventy-five years, and completed the days of his life, being old and full of days. For the days of the forefathers, of their life, were nineteen jubilees; and after the Flood they began to grow less than nineteen jubilees, and to decrease in jubilees, and to grow old quickly, and to be full of their days by reason of manifold tribulation and the wickedness of their ways, with the exception of Abraham. (This explains why we die way earlier than they did in the old days.)
10 For Abraham was perfect in all his deeds with YAHWEH, and well-pleasing in righteousness all the days of his life; and behold, he did not complete four jubilees in his life, when he had grown old by reason of the wickedness, and was full of his days.
11. And all the generations which shall arise from this time until the day of the great judgment shall grow old quickly, before they complete two jubilees, and their knowledge shall forsake them by reason of their old age, and all their knowledge shall vanish away. (Wow...well there you go. Another confirmation on this.)
12 And in those days, if a man live a jubilee and a-half of years, they shall say regarding him: 'He has lived long, and the greater part of his days are pain and sorrow and tribulation, and there is no shalom: (Too true... a jubilee is 7 7's... so a jubilee and a half is 73 and a half years!)
13 For calamity follows on calamity, and wound on wound, and tribulation on tribulation, and evil tidings on evil tidings, and illness on illness, and all evil judgments such as these, one with another, illness and overthrow, and snow and frost and ice, and fever, and chills, and torpor, and famine, and death, and sword, and captivity, and all kinds of calamities and pains.'
14 And all these shall come on an evil generation, which transgresses on the earth: their works are uncleanness and fornication, and pollution and abominations.
15 Then they shall say: 'The days of the forefathers were many (even), unto a thousand years, and were good; but behold, the days of our life, if a man has lived many, are three score years and ten (70), and, if he is strong, four score (80) years, and those evil, and there is no shalom in the days of this evil generation.' (Yet another part of scripture pointing to the times that we are living in now!)
16 And in that generation the sons shall convict their fathers and their elders of sin and unrighteousness, and of the words of their mouth and the great wickednesses which they perpetrate, and concerning their forsaking the covenant which YAHWEH made between them and Him, that they should observe and do all His commandments and His ordinances and all His Torah, without departing either to the right hand or the left.
17 For all have done evil, and every mouth speaks iniquity and all their works are an uncleanness and an abomination, and all their ways are pollution, uncleanness and destruction.
18 Behold the earth shall be destroyed on account of all their works, and there shall be no seed of the vine, and no oil; for their works are altogether faithless, and they shall all perish together, beasts and cattle and birds, and all the fish of the sea, on account of the children of men.
19 And they shall strive one with another, the young with the old, and the old with the young, the poor with the rich, the lowly with the great, and the beggar with the prince, on account of the Torah and the covenant; for they have forgotten commandment, and covenant, and feasts, and months, and Shabbats, and jubilees, and all judgments.
20 And they shall stand swords and war to turn them back into the way; but they shall not return until much blood has been shed on the earth, one by another.
21 And those who have escaped shall not return from their wickedness to the way of righteousness, but they shall all exalt themselves to deceit and wealth, that they may each take all that is his neighbor's, and they shall name the great NAME of YAHWEH, but not in truth and not in righteousness, and they shall defile the kodesh of ha kodeshim with their uncleanness and the corruption of their pollution.
22 And a great punishment shall befall the deeds of this generation from YAHWEH, and He will give them over to the sword and to judgment and to captivity, and to be plundered and devoured.
23 And He will wake up against them the sinners of the Gentiles, who have neither mercy nor compassion, and who shall respect the person of none, neither old nor young, nor any one, for they are more wicked and strong to do evil than all the children of men. And they shall use violence against Yisrael and transgression against Yacob, And much blood shall be shed upon the earth, And there shall be none to gather and none to bury. (This is going on in real time now! Look what they are doing in Palestine and in Israel to the children! The young babies and to the women!)
24 In those days they shall cry aloud, And call and pray that they may be saved from the hand of the sinners, the Gentiles; But none shall be saved.
25 And the heads of the children shall be white with grey hair, And a child of three weeks shall appear old like a man of one hundred years, And their stature shall be destroyed by tribulation and oppression.
26 And in those days the children shall begin to study the laws, And to seek the commandments, And to return to the path of righteousness.
27 And the days shall begin to grow many and increase amongst those children of men till their days draw nigh to one thousand years. And to a greater number of years than (before) was the number of the days.
28 And there shall be no old man Nor one who is satisfied with his days, For all shall be as children and youths.
29 And all their days they shall complete and live in shalom and in joy, And there shall be no Satan nor any evil destroyer; For all their days shall be days of blessing and healing. (This is all talking about the 1000 years of Peace!)
30 And at that time YAHWEH will heal His servants, And they shall rise up and see great shalom, And drive out their adversaries. And the righteous shall see and be thankful, And rejoice with joy forever and ever, And shall see all their judgments and all their curses on their enemies.
31 And their bones shall rest in the earth, And their spirits shall have much joy, And they shall know that it is YAHWEH who executes judgment, And shows mercy to hundreds and thousands and to all that love Him
32 And do you, Mosheh, write down these words; for thus are they written, and they record them on the heavenly tablets for a testimony for the generations forever.
WOOHOO! So, this is really cool! I like at 32 where it is talking to Moses! Very cool! So, now we have learned why we die so much earlier, and here I was thinking it was due to all of the crap they put in our food and the poisoning...that could definitely be part of the evil that is here for sure, but to see this all in black and white is pretty amazing. So, we are definitely in the time where this is going down, and to see another confirmation--especially in The Old Testament is crazy. The part about the jubilees and how many we will live in lines right up with the generation part in Daniel and in Revelation. I can't wait to read the next blog with you tomorrow! Until then!
