Publisher’s Preface

 

Greetings!  The following presentation is volume one of a 36-volume production of some 6,000 pages on “Ezekiel and YHWH’s Judgment for the Good News People,” all of which is on the Internet at the www.AgeEnd.com web site. 

 

This overall effort provides an interpretation of the Good News message in the New Testament, its linkage to the book of Ezekiel, and an application of both to the age-end prophecies relating to certain nations and peoples now out in the world.  In order for this single volume to be understood and comprehended, it is imperative that the study be read from its beginning--from page one. 

 

Anyone trying to read the study’s 6,000 pages at any mid-point will end up in a state of confusion without having read and digested the preceding material.  It is crucially important that this work be read in sequence from its beginning--otherwise, the reader will almost certainly end up missing the essence of the message! 

 

The effort was originally set on a Macintosh computer with Microsoft Word 6.0.1.  It was set in Helvetica, 12-point type (18 pt on chapter headings); single line spacings; and margins:  left 1.2”, right 0.8”, top 0.7”, bottom 0.8” and footer 0.6” (for page numbers). 

 

For further information on obtaining this study in 18 computer floppy disks (IBM-formatted, high density, 2HD, 1.44 MB, 3 1/2 inches); in a single CD-Rom; or in hard copies (when the Internet or a compatible computer is not available); please write the publisher at the above address and send a stamped, self-addressed, long (legal-size), return envelope. 

 

With a CD-Rom or computer floppy disks, the study is readable on Macintosh (systems 5.0 and later) or IBM/compatible (with Microsoft Word-Windows) personal computers.  May The Great CREATOR and SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE bless you as you study His word to learn His will and to obey Him.  Shalom (peace) to you and yours!

              Prologue

 

 

The Problem 

 

At a first reading of this study, the reader may find it somewhat technical and a little complicated.  At least, this conclusion can be reached from the general public at large who lack a background in Scriptural study.  Strangely enough, this situation will also be true with many Christians who are Scripturally illiterate and who know little or nothing about what the Book really says. 

 

Yet, this writer could not, in all fairness and honesty, avoid this ultimate reality.  The many little, intricate facts, histories and background findings have to be presented in order to cover the subject in a fashion which hopefully will preclude the critics and doubting Thomases from having ammunition to use in their deceitful and dishonest methods of attempting to shoot truth down. 

 

 

It Is For Students of the Word! 

 

Thus, this work may seem a little difficult to some.  However, this writing and publishing effort has not been undertaken to convince any Scripturally illiterate person of the need to become Scripturally literate, with some familiarity with the Word and what it says. 

 

It is predicated upon an assumption that it will be read by, analyzed by and contemplated by people who do study the Word and study to be approved by The MOST HIGH. 

 

On May 14, 2001, National Public Radio (NPR) had Professor Michael Brown of Emory University on to discuss his recent research and a new book he has out on the strange and unique paradox Christian Americans face on the question of Scriptural study, knowledge and understanding. 

 

Michael Brown is a Professor of New Testament (NT) at Emory.  He has undertaken an effort to determine what the typical Christian American knows about the Book.  His findings were both sickening and pathetic because most Christian Americans know almost nothing about the Book. 

 

Many or most of them have some vague idea about the creation account with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and some more have some confused thinking about Noah’s flood.  Although not mentioned by Brown, it also seems clear that many Christians have some further unclear ideas about a character named “Jesus,” who supposedly came and died for their sins. 

 

However, beyond these two or three basic themes, the typical Christian American knows virtually nothing about the Scriptures.  Even on the few topics of which Americans may have heard, most Christian people are grossly ignorant and uninformed.  They really don’t know and don’t want to know. 

 

 

Now, the Paradox 

 

Despite this gross state of ignorance and lack of information, the “Christian Bible” is and has historically been a best seller in the United States.  As Brown correctly perceived, The MOST HIGH’s Word is the world’s best selling work.  But it is seldom read by the people who buy it.  The professor said that Christians buy the Book in order to use it as a talisman or good luck charm of some sort. 

 

In other words, Christian Americans are anxious to have a “Bible” in their homes, and they will even spend some money to buy one.  The dilemma surfaces because they rarely read the Book they own and possess.  They have the Word either for magic purposes (as suggested by Brown); or alternatively, many Christians like to have the Book for pride and show off purposes (which will be discussed later). 

 

Since the typical Christian knows nothing and doesn’t want to know anything, he or she almost never studies.  Yet, the production of this study of some 6,000 pages is predicated upon being read and addressed by people who do have some familiarity with the Word.  In fact, some basic familiarity is essential for a comprehension of what is to follow. 

 

 

The Christian Attitude 

 

Christians, in particular, have a tendency of supposing that little or nothing from the Word is of any importance in their lives because they tend to believe that they presently are in possession of salvation.  Hence, nothing else matters spiritually.  From their perspective, they don’t need to study and be approved since they (incorrectly) believe that they are now approved and saved

 

When this belief in now possessing salvation is coupled with the common attitude and obsession of most people over their vain idols, loves and gods (which they serve with their hearts, minds and money), it is virtually an impossible task to break through to the essence of persons out in society at this time.  It’s too bad, but most Christians are precisely like secular individuals in their focus upon useless idolatry. 

 

But what if all of this exhibited pride, vanity, self righteousness and idolatry is all empty and wrong?  What if all of these proud, vain Christians are not currently in possession of grace and salvation?  What if they have been misinformed by their Christian Church leaders?  What if the subject of this work offers new light on this theme?  Is it not then worth a little study and contemplation?  Therefore, is it not important? 

 

 

But A Few Christians Will 

 

While the typical and general Christian knows very little about the Book, and will never spend any real time, effort or money to study and learn about the Book; there are a minority few who will seem to express some interest, concern and study.  America is a Christian land and some 60% to 90% of her people in almost any context are alleged to be Christians in some form (though they are largely Scripturally illiterate).  

 

In any particular setting of these reported Christians, one might introduce them to this study and evoke some interest/fascination (perhaps one to five percent of them would at least address some part of this work, if sufficiently motivated and intrigued).  Surely, these few Christians might read a few of the words here in volume one (but not much more, as it is a rare individual who would ever read 6,000 pages of anything). 

 

But the vast bulk of these few people will never expend any genuine effort in study to really get something from this work (certainly, 6,000 pages are out of the question).  Consequently, it will be a waste of time for them to put any labor into it.  The problem is that most Christians who will do some study fit into one of four primary categories. 

 

 

The Few Who Will 

 

Of the few Christians who will at least entertain some new and/or different thinking on the Word (from what they have been told by their denominational preachers and teachers), most are already convinced in their minds and mental mind sets that they are “saved” right now and are in need of nothing really further in a spiritual vein. 

 

As noted above, and as will be covered later herein, they are now filled with pride, self righteousness and vain idolatry. 

 

Since they don’t need anything further (beyond their present idols), they are hard to motivate to take a fresh, new, Scriptural look at their real condition (which is that they are not presently saved and that the subject of salvation is considerably different from what they have been told by their Christian leaders). 

 

Any study on their part is usually directed at hearing smooth things about how great and how wonderful that they are because of having Christian salvation (like Isaiah 30:10 prophesied).  Or alternatively, they simply love to have their ears tickled with fantasies, lies and deception (as the New Testament says at II Tim 4:3-4). 

 

Because of this prevailing attitude of many Christians, most of those who will at least look at this work will do so in order to build up their own pride, ego, self righteousness and vanity.  They are looking for ways to further enhance their present belief of having Christian salvation.  They want to feel good about the Christian salvation which they suppose they now possess (but they are wrong on this, as will be proven later herein). 

 

The second major type of interested Christians includes a few out there who simply love to find out something new and overlooked by their preachers and denominations which they can brag and boast about having discovered to their religious colleagues and contemporaries.  These Christians may read or study a little on the side in hopes of finding out something to shine/glow over in front of their Sunday School classes. 

 

“Religious hobbyists” are a third primary category of Christians who may demonstrate a little interest in a production like this one.  Just as many people have hobbies, which take of their time, interest and money (like with sports, daily TV programs, antique cars, stamp and coin collections, etc), there are some Christians who become dedicated religious hobbyists.  They like religion as a hobby to pursue in their spare time. 

 

 

The Fourth and Worst Type of All 

 

There is still one more commonly found major type of Christian who may address material like this study at hand.  They are the professional religionists (the “preachers, pastors, teachers, elders, priests, evangelists, bishops, reverends, fathers, and leaders,” who either make money or receive status/pride from religion).  They sometimes can be motivated and impressed to look at a work like this one. 

 

Usually, the interest of the professional religionists is in finding material which they can plagiarize/steal/use in their own leadership roles over their Christian followers/sheep.  Though some of these big shots may carry some motivation to deal with some ideas, words and thinking from others, they are very careful about how they present this material to their followers, if at all.  That’s why they may plagiarize from others. 

 

Most of them are extremely jealous of their flocks of Christian followers.  They are in no mood to do anything which can jeopardize their position in terms of their sheep followers (which most denominations look upon and treat as the “dumb sheep”). 

 

Since the Christian leaders are types of parasites, who draw blood from their sheep (either in the form of money and substance and/or in the form of receiving power, prestige and adulation from their sheep--to fuel their personal pride and vanity, as will be addressed in later chapters herein), they are very reluctant to ever let on that they would dare have to obtain knowledge and understanding from other people. 

 

In other words, they don’t want their sheep to ever grasp how inadequate that they are in terms of the Book.  That’s why they will sometimes plagiarize and steal from someone else (by never giving any credit or recognition where information comes from).  Most Christian preachers are very deceptive and evil when it comes to ever allowing anyone else to have any credit for knowing anything about the Book. 

 

It’s too bad, but most preachers are quite happy to keep their sheep in perpetual ignorance, rather than risk losing their sheep to someone else or some other source which may have more Scriptural understanding than they do.  In other words, they don’t care one whit about the sheep.  They only care about themselves and perpetuating their power and rule over the sheep (see Jer 23-50 and Ezek 13 and 34). 

 

It is indeed sad and tragic.  But some of the worse people of all to reach with any form of serious truth, to cause obedience and change (beyond the fairy tales and pathetic nonsense, normally dispensed by Christian denominations), are Christian preachers, leaders, and big shots (particularly to include all those who like and use fancy, big shot titles to supposedly set them apart from the dumb sheep, whom they lord over and dominate, in the Nicolaitane sense--Rev 2:6, 15). 

 

These big shot Christian leaders, and especially those who use fancy titles (like “pope, pastor, father, reverend, apostle, evangelist, bishop, priest, elder, etc”), are absolute frauds and enemies of truth.  By the way, in the Word, no one seems to have used fancy titles.  In the NT, believers (including those who did have authority and offices) called/referred to each other as brother and brethren--never using any titles. 

 

Today, virtually all of the Christian leaders and big shots think so highly of themselves that it is almost impossible to break through their exaltation, their high state of supposed being, and their blatant pride and vanity.  Not only do they have barriers that keep truth from breaking through to themselves, but they are absolutely committed to keeping the sheep in perpetual ignorance.  They are categorically enemies of truth! 

 

 

Therefore 

 

In all four of the categories of Christians delineated above, their hearts are simply not in the truth/righteousness found in the Book.  Their lives are built on pretense and pretending to be righteous and good; when, in fact, their hearts aren’t in it (yes, their actions and deeds are not in conformity with the real message in the Word).  They are not going to study to be approved (as the “King James Version” [KJV] puts II Tim 2:15). 

 

Like Isaiah (Yeshayahu in the Hebrew) wrote, all of the above described persons draw near to The MOST HIGH with their lips and words, but their hearts are far removed from Him (Isa 29:13). 

 

While the above stated four primary categories of Christians (who will do some study) represent a number of Christian believers out in the world today, it goes without saying that there probably are still a few other Christians in some other category not cited above.  But these four definitions take in most of the Christian world in terms of study. 

 

 

Still One More Category 

 

Clearly, there is still one more category of people--who may or may not presently be Christians.  They are individuals who are genuinely interested in studying to grow in grace, faith, repentance and obedience.  There aren’t many around like this in the modern world--perhaps one in a million, one in a hundred thousand, or one in some other huge number (small percentage).  For sure, there are very few out there like this. 

 

Of course, many Christians love the words grace and faith.  But their hang-up happens whenever they have to be told about repentance and obedience (after all, their “Jesus” died so that they don’t have to change or obey much of anything--all they have to do is to believe and affirm some faith and belief in the Christian suppositions and ideas about this person whom they call “Christ”). 

 

In any case, it is these rare, unique, few individuals which this publication hopes to reach (yes, those who do care and will study to grow in repentance and obedience). 

 

 

More on the Audience  

 

Consequently, this publication will not mean much to people who have never studied, do not study and see no need to study for approval.  In short, it wasn’t written for them or their edification in the first place.  They will never get it anyway, regardless of how well it is written and how important and profound the topic and its many sub-parts could be in order to understand truth. 

 

And as the reader will discover in a later chapter in this work, maybe such individuals shouldn’t get it anyway.  Maybe this whole topic is just not for them.  While it is doubtful that many individuals in this category can ever begin to understand it, it’s highly possible that they just weren’t supposed to comprehend material like this. 

 

Probably, most persons in this category have something else to do with their valuable time rather than merely waste it on Scriptural study, which they either don’t need or don’t want because they believe and suppose that they already know everything they need to know from the Word (because of pride and vanity). 

 

Instead, it was written for people who either have some basic knowledge and understanding of what the Book does say; or at least, they are interested and are trying, presently, to obtain some basic knowledge and understanding in order to be approved.  In other words, some persons can be interested and might be able to get it. 

 

Therefore, attitude will have a lot to do with whether you, the reader, get anything out of this production or not.  If you come to it with apathy, indifference and lack of care, then you’re wasting your time.  But if you approach it with zeal, dedication, purpose and a love and appreciation for truth, then you likely will be rewarded in your quest. 

 

 

The Theme 

 

While it may seem a little difficult and complicated, the basic theme of this effort is really quite simple.  For the last two millennium, the Christian world has talked at length about the “what,” as associated with the New Testament.  While many people could never even grasp this “what,” some others have done so. 

 

Some know and understand that The Hebrew MESSIAH, born in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago, came with a message about the Good News of the coming Kingdom of YHWH (YHWH is the Tetragrammaton--the four letters of the personal name of The MOST HIGH).  Although most Christians know little or nothing beyond this basic “what,” they do apparently recognize it as the so-called “Gospel” message. 

 

(Note:  the word “Gospel” has been used in this instance and herein for purposes of communication.  But it may not be the most descriptive or best choice of a word since it perhaps also has a meaning of “Godspell” with all of its ramifications, as one may later discover herein). 

 

And while this “what” is important, it is also useful to look at the other half of this equation--the “who” this Good News message was intended for and/or directed at in the general population.  Thus, does this mention of “who” have any significance or pertinence otherwise? 

 

To reduce it to its basics--Who was The Hebrew MESSIAH YESHUA (called “Jesus,” by many Christians) sent to?  Was He sent to the whole world and all of its peoples or was He sent to a more select, elect, limited group of persons? 

 

Thus, the question may be defined as--who are the people of the Good News?  And do these people of the Good News have a relationship to the prophet Ezekiel (Yechezkel in the Hebrew) of the Old Testament and YHWH’s Words of judgment for man?  These are the issues in this study. 

 

 

Use of Hebrew and Greek Words 

 

From the very beginning and throughout this publication, the reader will find Hebrew words taken by this writer from the Hebrew Old Testament (Tanakh, in the Hebrew).  The reason for turning to Hebrew words (and also Greek words, as applicable in the Greek New Testament) is because the Scriptures were not written in English.  This may be quite a shock to some people, but it is the truth! 

 

Yes, as good as the “King James Version” (KJV) may seem, it is not the inspired original.  It is a translation from other writings! 

 

The need for this is not to confuse the reader; but rather, to conform to truth and appeal to the individual who is in pursuit of truth.  The body of the text will usually explain these words and the need for their presentation as shown (as the reader proceeds through the study effort). 

 

In particular, this writer will commonly use Hebrew names and titles in association with The MOST HIGH--for example, The Tetragrammaton YHWH and its contracted form YAH (which the “King James” translates as “LORD”); EL, ELOAH and ELOHIM (which the “King James” renders as “God”); and YESHUA (in lieu of the KJV “Jesus”). 

 

Moreover, this writer often uses the Hebrew names of some of the Old Testament personalities; although in direct references to books by those persons, the names are usually left as found in English translations. 

 

Hence, the prophet Ezekiel’s name is correctly Yechezkel in Hebrew (which is used herein to refer to the man).  But in references to the book of Ezekiel, the word Ezekiel is left as it appears in the English translations. 

 

For the English transliteration of Hebrew names, this publication has generally called upon the excellent work of Dr David Stern in his “Complete Jewish Bible.”  His pronunciation and correct spelling of the OT Hebrew names are likely some of the best in existence in the early 21st century. 

 

 

More on Words

 

Otherwise, in some instances, some Hebrew and Greek words, on occasion, are used with a minimum of explanation and without attempting any special offers of expanded descriptions.  The reason for this brevity is the constraints of space. 

 

Some Hebrew, and Greek words as well, are quite complex and pregnant with enormous and far reaching meaning.  In those instances, where such words are used, the writer of this book is giving the reader some credit in being willing to engage in some constructive study to determine the purpose and role of the involved word in its usage. 

 

Such an effort can sometimes require something beyond just a superficial check.  Perhaps this is another important reason why this work has been prepared for persons who have studied the Word or at least do study the Word. 

 

People, who have passed the Scripturally illiterate stage and have progressed to the point of having some familiarity with what the Book says, will, of course, be right at home with this writer’s presentations of and discussions on the various Hebrew and Greek words found in the Old and New Testaments. 

 

 

Study for Approval 

 

Here, the essence of what is involved concerns the powerful word “study.”  Or as the writer Shaul (the Christian “Paul”) perceptively put it, the real called out ones/the elect are to “study” to show themselves approved (as the KJV has it--II Tim 2:15).  Now, any reader of this production unwilling to devote the necessary time, resources and effort to study will never be approved or ever find Truth--no way, Hose (the Spanish Jose)! 

 

The prophet Daniel had some interesting words on this idea when he wrote about the explosion of knowledge in the age end (Dan 12:4).  The “King James Version” and others as well offer words along the lines that “many shall run to and fro” (Hebrew “shut,” per “Young’s Analytical Concordance,” p. 828) and “knowledge shall be increased.” 

 

In “Come Out of Her My People” (p. iv), C. J. Koster points out that the Hebrew “shut” more correctly means “push forth,” in the context of “do research,” which is how the German, Dutch and Afrikaan translations handle that word.  In other words, many will push and do involved research and study (requiring hard work, time and effort), causing knowledge (of YHWH’s truth) to be increased in the age end. 

 

 

Study to Obey 

 

In Second Temple days, when YESHUA and the Apostolic Assembly were on earth, the study of the Torah (Genesis to Deuteronomy, known as the law to most Christians) was a commandment (per Shmuel Safrai, in an article on “Master and Disciple” in the Nov/Dec 1990 “Jerusalem Perspective,” p. 3).  Safrai notes that the idea involves study to not only learn, but to put what is learned into practice (Mishnah, Avot 4:5; 6:6). 

 

This is a most important concept to grasp.  It is a tragic reality that there are people around even today who do some study--but having the acquired knowledge, they never seem to want to put it into effect.  It goes without saying that with the acquisition of knowledge of YAH’s will, one should be putting that knowledge into effect through obedience. 

 

The reader will find extraordinary citations of the Scriptures to support and justify the points being made.  By all means, the student of truth should spend some time and effort to go to the Word and check out these references to be sure that they communicate the message or interpretation which this study is outlining. 

 

In suggesting this type of research, this writer is not so naive as to imply that the “King James Version,” or any other translation for that matter, necessarily has it right.  That’s why real critical and involved research and study often necessitates the use of several translations to English. 

 

Of course, in all situations, the reader must be prepared to go back to the underlying Hebrew and Greek texts in any attempt to determine verity.  As noted above, this publication is substantially predicated on the premise that the reader is a person who knows something about studying, how to do it, and is willing to do it. 

 

 

Some Specific Remarks On How To Study 

 

There are two primary approaches to productive study.  First, the reader can turn to various Hebrew and Greek lexicons and dictionaries to try to determine reality for particular Hebrew and Greek words.  But tragically, even most Hebrew and Greek dictionaries of use to English speaking individuals have their own limitations. 

 

Specifically, they have been prepared by limited men, just as the various translations have been made by limited men.  Therefore, even these lexicons and dictionaries may not have the right slant on a word or text--despite the sincerity, competence and ability of the compilers. 

 

A better way, always, to define a particular Hebrew and Greek word, is to let other Scriptures do it.  Of course, this involves the use of a good, comprehensive and exhaustive concordance.  Strong’s and Young’s are fair examples in this case for English speakers.  

 

However, the absolutely best approach is to routinely use a Hebrew concordance for the Old Testament and a Greek concordance for the New Testament. 

 

Strangely enough, such Hebrew and Greek concordances are readily available on the market for English language speakers and readers.  Here, mention might be directed to the “Englishman’s Hebrew and Chaldee Concordance” and “The New Englishman’s Greek Concordance of the New Testament.” 

 

Additionally, many students of truth are quite cognizant of the need to use a good concordance in many, many, other situations to try to find other related Scriptures which will provide an overview of the theme at hand. 

 

In other words, let the Scriptures define and interpret themselves.  This method is one of the best and most efficient methods of Scriptural study followed by real students of the Book.  With such a background study of the variously linked verses, one can better approach truth, which should be the objective of all of us. 

 

It almost goes without saying that in reading the Hebrew and Greek words and their English counterparts, the student of truth should always first read them literally or try to apply a literal meaning to the words, before turning to other interpretations. 

 

This was the position of Hebrew scholars in Second Temple days and also many Christian scholars, as well, today.  Once a determination can be made of what a text says “literally,” then other possible interpretations can be explored (involving symbolism, allegory, etc.). 

 

Obviously, too, some texts will just not allow a literal interpretation and must be addressed from another perspective.  The book of Revelation is an example of this, as there is a lot of symbolism present in it which does not seem to have much meaning literally. 

 

 

Some Research May Be Required! 

 

This writer has spent an enormous amount of time and effort to record, edit and check the applicable Scriptural citations herein correctly without any errors or mistakes.  But the sheer quantity and number of these references (literally in the thousands) have made the task extremely difficult and subject to human error in transcription. 

 

Please keep this possibility in mind as the texts are checked for verification (plus, the reader should be aware of the fact that the Septuagint and Jewish translations use a slightly different numbering system for chapters and verses in the Old Testament than what is used in Christian “Bibles.” This reality can also cause problems in checking references). 

 

If a particular verse surfaces that does not seem to fit properly, perhaps because a reference number has been transposed incorrectly in this publication or some other mistake has been made in the citation, then possibly a little research with a good concordance may turn up the correct Scripture. 

 

Generally, this writer has used the popular and fairly good “King James Version” or translation, in most instances, without any reference being made to that version.  However, if other translations apply in particular cases, that reality is usually pointed out for the reader’s reference and  benefit. 

 

 

Effect of Personality and Temperament on Study 

 

While this Prologue has emphasized the importance of study, there is an interesting piece of truth that needs some mention here.  This feature needing attention concerns the reality that human beings are influenced greatly by their temperament, character and personality types. 

 

Some psychologists would argue that human beings are largely a product of these factors (unless otherwise defined, human is used in this study in its broadest possible context--to include both so-called humans and humanoids who will be later defined). 

 

On any discussion of personality types, it is well to observe that the issue concerns qualities and attributes which are primarily affected by genetics and questions of ancestry and not so much by environmental and experience considerations, although these issues do have some application.  Thus, people are largely fixed in temperament at birth or very early in life. 

 

Back in the 1920s, psychologist Carl Jung led the way in the study of personality.  He was followed in the 1950s by Isabel Myers and her mother Katheryn Briggs, who worked to identify some 16 different patterns of personality and temperament reflections in the general population. 

 

As administered in some contemporary schools and employment job centers, the Myers-Briggs work has produced a “Type Indicator Test” to allow some ideas of how a particular person may fit into one of the 16 different categories, as established by Jung, Myers and Briggs and as described by writers Keirsey and Bates in their book on “Please Understand Me.” 

 

 

Some Specifics 

 

For these classifications, the first indicator is that people can be categorized as extrovert (75% of the population) or introvert (25%).  Next, humans may function through intuition (dealing with abstracts and the unseen--25% of the population) or sensation (historically fixed--75%). 

 

The third category is thinkers (who decide things based on objectivity and logic--50%) as opposed to feelers (who act and decide things on feelings and emotions--50%).  The final issue is judging (liking closure--50%) versus perceiving (opposed to closure--50%). 

 

It’s not to say that a particular person falls 100% into any one of these categories.  The truth is that Adamites generally are mixtures of all eight types, which can be defined into some 16 different categories, as just noted.  Some of these points of concern can play an enormous role on the question of Scriptural study or rather the willingness of specific people to study. 

 

For example, the thinker tends to make decisions on the basis of objective study, analysis, logic and mental reasoning; whereas the feeler tends to make decisions based on how he or she “feels” about a person or thing (hence, emotions).  Obviously, the thinker would likely be more reserved and careful about jumping to conclusions while the feeler would tend to decide based just on feelings. 

 

The situation with introverts versus extroverts is interesting.  In the first place, extroverts are big talkers while introverts are quieter and more reserved.  Also, extroverts are active, impulsive and changeable while introverts are more careful, thoughtful and reliable (“Race, Evolution, and Behavior,” p. 269).  Obviously, these attributes will affect study and understanding. 

 

 

Judgmental Versus Perceiving 

 

The other area of special importance is whether one is judgmental or perceiving.  The judgmental individuals are organized, attentive to detail, decisive, responsible and having things settled and closed (often good with their minds)--while the perceiving types are indecisive, fluid, unsettled, open ended and often quite confused and sometimes irresponsible (but frequently good with their hands). 

 

With this background, it is easy to see that the thinkers and the judgmental persons would be far more likely to sit down and study a book (to include the Scriptures), while the feelers and perceiving types usually would not.  The perceiving individual (particularly if also sensation) generally just doesn’t have it in his/her heart to spend much time on study. 

 

Whatever truth the perceiver may get from the Scriptures often has to be dug out of the Word by a judgmental individual and told or explained orally to a perceiving person.  The perceiver would tend to talk and discuss things (especially if also an extrovert), but would typically never get around to actual Scriptural study (never “get a round tuit,” so to speak). 

 

In short, the perceiver (especially if also sensation) is just not bookish, and it is a very difficult thing to do, to ever make him/her sit down and engage in lengthy study.  In fact, it would be a rare perceiver who would ever “get a round tuit” to even read this huge production, much less do any critical study of it. 

 

Also, even when some perceivers do study, they are often so highly unorganized that the resulting study is limited in value because of the presence of confusion and disorganization.  Too, rules and laws which represent finality and conclusion are just not popular with the perceiver, who likes things undecided and unsettled. 

 

Conversely, the judgmental person can and will study and spend large amounts of time with a book (any book--to include the Scriptures, if the judgmental person is religious).  Being focused on closure and having things decided and settled, the judgmental person can sometimes better appreciate YHWH’s laws and edicts which establish verity. 

 

When the alarm clock goes off on a typical morning, the judgmental person is apt to get up immediately and start the day instantly.  Conversely, the perceiving individual would tend to reach over and cut the alarm off and go back to sleep for a few more winks before tackling the day’s business and needs. 

 

Judgmental persons are typically very prompt and punctual.  They make good administrators, teachers and supervisors since they are responsible and attentive to their needs.  On the other hand, the perceiving type of person is apt to run late on appointments and work requirements and sometimes completely forget and ignore commitments. 

 

When a person loans something to a perceiving individual, chances are that it may never be returned (without a reminder or intervention from the loaner).  Perceivers are notorious for not returning borrowed books.  They intend to someday read borrowed books, but they never “get a round tuit.” 

 

It’s not that a perceiver is an outright thief; but rather, it is that he is careless and irresponsible about duties and standards (providing closure).  Perceiving individuals are often good with their hands, however, and make splendid barbers, beauticians, craftsmen, builders, etc.  If the perceiving types are also intuitive, then they can be very creative (to become inventors, architects, engineers, artists, etc). 

 

With this background on closure, it is manifest that the judgmental person wants things settled, decided and closed.  The perceiving individual wants things to remain fluid, undecided and unsettled.  Therefore, the perceiving person likes a changy changy environment.  He is not at all upset over changing his position on most anything. 

 

 

Manifestations in the Book 

 

With some understanding and appreciation of these different personality and temperament types and how they manifest themselves in so-called humanity, it is possible to study them in relation to various historical people in the Book, and arrive at some ideas on how different people thought or would think/act in various situations. 

 

Take the great man Moshe (Moses in the KJV).  Moshe was certainly a strong introvert.  Probably, he was a mixture of sensation, as opposed to intuition; although he could have leaned a little in the direction of intuition.  He clearly was a thinker.  And of enormous importance to him, he was very judgmental. 

 

The evidence from the Word is that possibly Adam leaned a little in the direction of being an introvert, though he could socially talk a little and probably had some balance in speech.  The behemah (a Hebrew word of importance, to be described later in this study) was a big talking extrovert, just as he is today.  Since the behemah talks good (convincingly), he fools people into believing that he is Adamic in origin. 

 

Adam would likely have been a mixture of intuition and sensation and the behemah would likely have been sensation only.  Of course, man’s creativity is often linked to the intuition personality.  Yet, his appreciation for history and the historical position is closer to sensation.  Adamites have been the great inventors, architects and scientists. 

 

Assuredly, Adam was a strong thinker, as opposed to the behemah, who was a strong feeler.  Finally, Adam would have been a strong judgmental person while the behemah would have been a strong perceiving type.  It seems likely that these various qualities have occurred in some mix in the Adam kind over the last 6,000 years. 

 

The point of this discussion is that all of us are to some extent a product of our personality and temperament types, which we are largely fixed with at birth.  This reality is predetermined and it is difficult to go against these powerful motivations--though it can be done. 

 

The bottom line on this is that some persons, by temperament, are just not very studious or bookish.  With such genetic limitations, it is a hard process for such people to undertake any particular effort of study. 

 

But in order to be approved on judgment day, it is crucial that each of us work to overcome our inherent limitations and do some study, even if it requires forcing ourselves to go against our basic will and choice. 

 

 

The US Problem 

 

Former president Bill Clinton deserves some mention next.  For some years now, this writer has believed that Clinton would not leave the US presidency on January 20, 2001. 

 

Frankly, it seemed very doubtful that the 2000 elections would even take place.  However, developing hindsight seems to suggest that this writer has had it wrong.  George W. Bush is now in the presidency and Clinton seems gone.  But is he gone? 

 

Later presentations herein will disclose that Clinton has not really left Washington.  He is still there and still pulling the strings on not only the Democrat party, but even over the nation somewhat. 

 

Therefore, is it possible that Clinton still has a US future?  Well, this writer believes so and accordingly has prepared this study on the premise that Clinton will probably be the ultimate man to impose marital law and a US dictatorship. 

 

 

The Bush Problem

 

While Bush seems snugly in the White House, presidents every 20 years (starting in 1840, except for Ronald Reagan, elected in 1980) have a mysterious problem in living out their terms (as will be described in some detail in a later appendix).  Poor Bush does not have a good future.  History does repeat itself. 

 

Add this in with the election debacle in 2000, the heart problems of Cheney, a failing economy, the terrorism dilemma, the Bush wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and calls for a constitutional convention (with the possibilities of a new constitution, which could really change things) and Bush has been in trouble almost from the very start.  Perhaps this reality was subtly and discreetly present to allow the US to elect Bush. 

 

While it might be true that the fat cats elected GWB for several reasons (as will be broached in later commentary herein on why Bush was elected), it is quite clear that the likelihood of a complete meltdown of the US economic and monetary systems have to be primary reasons. 

 

If the plutocrats wanted a fall guy to blame for the assuredly coming financial collapse (which is manifestly waiting right now on the wings), surely a person with the IQ level of GWB would be selected. 

 

If Bush takes the fall for the US trouble, it will also mean a perfect opportunity to likewise blame the Republican party and the so-called US conservatives (so-called because it is doubtful that any true conservatives remain in America) and whatever remains of the US Eastern Establishment (as will be described in later chapters herein). 

 

 

But Clinton is Waiting 

 

With things looking so bad, maybe somebody, waiting in the wings (like Clinton), could come into power very quickly. 

 

Therefore, here is a possible scenario with some hypothetical thinking.  Here, let us suppose that the whole economy does soon come apart for Bush--over the Iraqi war or something else.  Let us next suppose that a constitutional convention meets. 

 

Let us furthermore suppose that a constitutional convention drafts a new constitution in a time frame parallel in some fashion with the unexpected death of Bush and/or a resulting political crisis in the US.  Would such a convention choose Bill Clinton to return to the presidency?   Likely yes! 

 

Beyond a new constitution, the student of truth must be ever watchful of Hillary Clinton and her possibilities for the presidency (or vice-presidency) in the 2004 or 2008 elections. 

 

It is inconceivable that the American people would elect Hillary, but it must not be ruled out (after all, the voting public is capable of anything).  If she should come into power, it will mean a revival for Bill Clinton.  He and Hillary will be even more ruthless and diabolical than they were in the 1990s. 

 

There is still another possible way for Clinton to regain power over America.  It is in the form of him ascending to the UN as UN Supreme Governor or Secretary General.  He has had his eyes set upon the UN for some time, as will be addressed in a later appendix.  Actually, the UN is his ultimate quest--even beyond the US.  For sure, he has long had a goal of world government or dictatorship (to be later addressed). 

 

Frankly, this writer cannot envision the end of Clinton’s power over America.  Right now, for sure, he is jockeying into posture to return to the presidency or to the UN as a dictator.  My guess is that he will somehow worm his way back to the presidency first and immediately impose martial law and a dictatorship under some pretext (as suggested in this study at hand) with a plan of graduating later to a UN dictatorship. 

 

Since this writer believes that Clinton is coming back, many of the comments herein about him are made in the present tense.  After all, he is still a US national leader and still pulling strings nationally over America.  This man is not about to fade into the background, as other former presidents have done. 

 

 

More on the Dangerous George Walker Bush 

 

And on George W. Bush, it must be said that he, too, can be extremely dangerous in the presidency and particularly so with his love of war and with the use of executive orders to impose a dictatorship (by 2003, GWB has already shown his penchant for dictatorial and tyrannical measures). 

 

The difference is that Bush’s potential for wickedness/tyranny is child’s play compared to Clinton’s proven record of deceit, treachery and evil.  Regardless of who it comes from, this writer does anticipate enormous US difficulties and a coming dictatorship--as will be covered hereafter in this study. 

 

Certainly, George W. Bush is fully capable of imposing tyranny and especially so since many of today’s problems go back to the administration of his father--George H. W. Bush.  The Bush clan members are not exactly “saints,” to use a popular, Christian word.  It’s just that Clinton can easily return and be the man of the hour. 

 

But unless and until Clinton is able to maneuver events to come back into power over the American people, it must be allowed that Bush or whomever (or certainly Colin Powell, if he gets to be president with the death and removal of Bush and Cheney), might likewise take some very provocative and dangerous steps. 

 

Therefore, what is outlined and described hereafter, in the context of tyranny coming from Bill Clinton, must be allowed also in the vein of George W. Bush, Colin Powell or some other Republican. 

 

As an after-fact, the imposition of very tyrannical laws came into being in the United States, following the Sep 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington (to be described in later chapters). 

 

Thus, the possibilities for tyranny are not simply limited to Bill “Slick” Clinton.  Many people in both the Democrat and Republican parties are fully capable of this eventuality.  Any of the persons just named can and probably would write and implement executive orders to promote tyranny, given the opportunity. 

 

 

The Amalekites 

 

Next--from time to time, herein, mention is made to the Amalekites, in the context of their great evil and wretchedness.  This racial group of people has played both tragic and profound roles in world history for the last four millenniums.  In particular, they have had a major impact upon America in modern times, good Jewish Israelites in the first centuries BCE and CE, and various other nations and peoples over the years. 

 

In Second Temple days (from the Jewish return from Babylon, c484 BCE, to the fall of Jerusalem to Rome, 70 CE), many leading and highly respected Jewish Israelite sages believed and taught that the racial Amalekites were the most evil and depraved people in all of history.  Since there is much Scriptural support for these ancient Jewish beliefs, they must be taken seriously. 

 

Many persons suppose that the racial Amalekites passed from history 3,000 years ago in the time of David.  But this supposition is all wrong, as will be proven in a later presentation herein.  Those evil people (actually their descendants) are still around and have been around ever since the time of David. 

 

There are several identifying features or attributes of a racial Amalekite.  These points of identification will be covered in some detail in su
