WE ARE THE PROBLEM; GOD IS THE SOLUTION

The solution to the problem is very straightforward. First God defined the problem to Isaiah; the Jews were the problem. God had given them favor because of their lineage. They were the seed of Abraham. Because of the faith of Abraham, the Jews were God’s chosen and peculiar people since they once had been holy (Deut 14:2).

The faith of Abraham was not just a one-time event when he had the willingness to sacrifice his only remaining son, but when Abraham survived the fire of Ur because he believed in the invisible God. To find that, the reader will need to turn to the Book of Jasher.

The handmade gods of Terah neither spoke nor moved but Terah gave them credit for creating all things. Because they were useless idols, Abram turned from them and to the invisible God. As such, “In the evening of that day in that house, Abram was clothed with the spirit of God” (Jasher 11:31). As it turned out the “clothing of God” was said to be the garment with which God had clothed Adam (Gen 3:17).

We find out in the New Testament from Paul that we are to “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Ephes 6:16). The faith of Abraham was his “shield.” Even the name, Abraham, means ‘Shield.” Hence the faith of Abraham can be our shield because we too (Christians) are chosen and peculiar people (1 Pet 2:9).

As for the fiery darts of the wicked, God did that for Abram. King Nimrod delivered Abram from prison for denying his gods, and a miracle happened: 

When Terah had spoken this to the king concerning Haran his son, the king ordered Haran to be seized with Abram.  And they brought them both, Abram and Haran his brother, to cast them into the fire; and all the inhabitants of the land and the king's servants and princes and all the women and little ones were there, standing that day over them. And the king's servants took Abram and his brother, and they stripped them of all their clothes excepting their lower garments which were upon them. And they bound their hands and feet with linen cords, and the servants of the king lifted them up and cast them both into the furnace. And the Lord loved Abram and he had compassion over him, and the Lord came down and delivered Abram from the fire and he was not burned. But all the cords with which they bound him were burned, while Abram remained and walked about in the fire…. And Abram walked in the midst of the fire three days and three nights, and all the servants of the king saw him walking in the fire, and they came and told the king, saying, Behold we have seen Abram walking about in the midst of the fire, and even the lower garments which are upon him are not burned, but the cord with which he was bound is burned. (Jasher 12:20-25, 27)

 Nimrod beaconed Abram to come out of the fire, and out he came. 

And the king said to Abram, “How is it that you were not burned in the fire?” And Abram said to the king, “The God of heaven and earth in whom I trust and who has all in his power, He delivered me from the fire into which you did cast me.” (Jasher 12:34-35)

 When scripture says that Abram came out of Ur, Ur means “fire;” that inferred that Abram literally did not perish in the fiery furnace, thus escaping the “fiery darts of the wicked” (Nimrod) since before then, God had put onto him the Garment of Adam. That “Garment” was the Holy Ghost because of the faith of Abraham.

Abraham had become a new creature because he was literally in Christ, the Messiah (2 Cor 5:17).

With that said, Abram was another glorious “Adam.” He was another chance and God’s Covenant with Abraham was an extension of His Covenants with Adam and Noah. Covenants that are forgotten are the Sethian and Semitic Covenants, and especially the Japhetite Covenant.

Seth replaced righteous Abel and he was blessed; then after Seth and Japheth covered their father’s nakedness, they were blessed: “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant” (Gen 9:27).  

Therein lies two Covenants that are all but forgotten. The Covenant of Grace is and extension of the Covenants that God made with Shem and Japheth. Japheth is the progenitor of most of Europe’s population as well as the Balkans.

You and I are opportune to wear the “Garment of God” because Japheth did not dishonor but honored his father, Noah.

Shem played a great role in the beliefs of Abram. Shem may be the first “Hebrew,” bringing the bones of Adam across the waters in the Presence of Melchizedek.

Although Abram crossed the water of the Jordan, Shem crossed the waters of the Great Flood. The word, “Hebrew” is merely “crossing over” without regard to what. Noah and his family were all “Hebrews” in a sense, but Abram was the first noted for that.

When the wise ones saw Abram at fifty years old, they said, “Our sovereign lord (Nimrod), surely this is the man whom we know to have been the child at whose birth the great star swallowed the four stars” (Jasher 12:9). God selected Abram for his role in the eternal plan for mankind. Was Abram faithful because he was picked, or was he picked because God foreknew his faithfulness? God is omniscient and knew the Way that Abram would travel.

The wise men were referring to the miraculous birth of Abraham: 

 It was in the night that Abram was born, that all the servants of Terah, and all the wise men of Nimrod, and his conjurors came and ate and drank in the house of Terah, and they rejoiced with him on that night. And when all the wise men and conjurors went out from the house of Terah, they lifted up their eyes toward heaven that night to look at the stars, and they saw, and behold one very large star came from the east and ran in the heavens, and he swallowed up the four stars from the four sides of the heavens. (Jasher 8:1-2) 

Is that a coincidence? There was a similar, albeit not an exact event, when Jesus was born in 6 B.C.: 

Mathews studied planetary alignments that occurred in his target time frame of 8-4 B.C. There was a very special alignment on April 17, 6 B.C. At that time, the sun, moon, Jupiter, Saturn and the vernal equinox were all aligned in the Aries constellation, while Venus aligned in nearby Pisces, and Mercury and Mars were on the other side in Taurus. (O’Shaughnessy 2024)

 God uses stellar events for His Divine Clock.

Of course, stars were not literally swallowed up by a “great star,” but planets were once considered stars and the Sun the “Great Star.” Something that was not ordinary when Abram was born. Something like that happened recently, “During totality (total eclipse) on August 21, 2017 – although it will be close to midday – you’ll easily be able to see 4 planets with the unaided eye near the eclipsed sun!” (Irazarry 2017). That is a very rare and special event that may be the repetition of the event signally the birth of Abraham.

The age of Abraham was the Age of the Ram, the Christian era is the Age of Pisces, and the Luciferin era dawning in 2017 is roughly the Age of Aquarius. We are now living in that age, and it has become obvious. God uses the stars to signal the ages, and the eclipse of 6 B.C. signaled the coming of the Savior.

Abraham was the “savior” of the Hebrews at that time, and he became king in another realm wherein Lazarus rested in the “bosom of Abraham” (Luke 16). Abraham was a placeholder until the coming of Jesus.

In the Book of Isaiah chapter one, the Hebrews had degenerated so much that the Abrahamic Covernant was all but null and void, except for a few — “a remnant” (Isa 1:9). God had a plan for the remnant, and He spelled it out, “If you be willing and obedient…” (Isa 1:9): 

“Come now, and let us reason together,” said the Lord: “though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isa 1:18)

 Reason with Him, God asked of them. They were to use their heads, for as God said before, “The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint” (Isa 1:5). They were to come to their senses and get their thoughts in order.

So far, few Jews have done that! If they were to consider the prophets, they would know that the Messiah has come. All the things that Jesus did were prophesied by Isaiah and the other prophets without a mistake.

The outcome of reasoning is that all their sins would be purified. Sin is genetic from the concept of “original sin.” God was implying that they would be “born again,” the miraculous change from Jesus (John 3:7).

Sin is in the blood, and in fact, every nuclear cell of the body. Each one of us have the genetics of the Devil within as he is referred to as our “father” (John 8:44).  God was telling Abraham that only He could take the demonic genes from the Hebrews. He would launder their DNA, or as “born again” means, engender them from above (Strong 2006).

The problem with the Jews (Hebrews) is that they have not reasoned with God. He made them a promise through the Covenant with Abraham, and they failed to understand that it has come to pass.

Jesus, though our sins are as scarlet, though they be red as crimson; has made them white as snow and as protective as tightly woven wool, the latter the very “Garment of God” to ward off the fiery darts of the wicked. God preserves those who are willing to observe and do His Divine Will. He preserves sinners until the time they are saved.

Preservation has a condition; that they willingly obey God. The Jews had rebelled (Isa 1:2); after they had been chosen, and by that time, they had defected, or as it is written in the Greek, “apostasia.”

All the while they rebelled and did whatever they wanted to do, they thought themselves as God’s chosen, but God revealed to Isaiah that the Jews were all but forsaken; not because of Him but because they had rebelled!

The same exists in the world today for God’s other favored people — Christians. All the while naïve people think they are as good as in Paradise already; that they are saved, they continue to live in rebellion. It is true that Christians are indeed preserved in safety, but they must be willing to obey.

The Commandments are not mandates per se, but things that God’s people, Jews or Christians, choose to do. They are essentially a list of things you do not do to honor God, and to honor Him. Honoring is not work, but merely cognition. It is to reason with God. How is that? If you honor God, then you should be willing to obey.

Since the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, this is the most rebellious age ever. The Age of Water in Noah’s time was tame compared to this Aquarian Age!

Some astronomers do say that the Noahic flood was the dawning of a previous Age of Aquarius. Without a doubt, something catastrophic and of great gravity was happening when that great amount of water was sucked out of the crevasses of the earth. There may have been some great alignment that will come again in the exact timing of God.

We should not fear astrology; we must fear ourselves. It is us that determines the signs of the times, not the times that determine us! God does all things in the world (Greek; Kosmos) for us, even move the stars around like a giant clock that warns us of much needed change.
