Q1. Is OPHIR the Ancient Name of The PHILIPPINES?
A1. Not many of us know that one of the Countries being theorized as the mysterious land of Ophir is our own beloved Country => The Philippines.
 
OPHIR is the name of one of the sons of Joktan (Genesis 10:26-30). The Books of Kings and Chronicles tell of a joint expedition to Ophir by King Solomon and the Tyrian King Hiram I from Ezion-Geber, a port on the Red Sea, that brought back large amounts of gold, precious stones and 'algum wood' and of a later failed expedition by King Jehoshaphat of Judah. The famous 'Gold of Ophir' is referenced in other books of the Hebrew Bible.


HOW TO FIND THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF OPHIR

In a book found in Spain entitled Colección General de Documentos Relativos a las Islas Filipinas (General Collection of Philippine Islands related Documents), the author has described how to locate Ophir. 

According to the section "Document No. 98", dated 1519-1522, Ophir can be found by travelling from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, to India, to Burma, to Sumatra, to Moluccas, to Borneo, to Sulu, then finally Ophir facing the Pacific Ocean, occasionally, to Taiwan (China) and some other Polynesian Islands to collect precious stones and commodities, and then back to Ophir and eventually to Israel using the same route. 

Ophir was said to be "[...] in front of China towards the sea, of many islands where the Moluccans, Chinese, and Lequios met to trade..." this group of islands could not be Japan because the Moluccans did not get there, nor Taiwan, since it is not composed of "many islands." 

Only the present-day Philippines, could fit the description. Spanish records also mention the presence of Lequios (big, bearded men, probably descendants of the Phoenicians, whose ships were always laden with gold and silver) in the Islands to gather gold and silver. 

Some historians believe that the seat of Ophir in the Philippines is the Pacific Ocean side of the Island of Samar which was led once upon a time by a Samaritan Hadi Iberein, who was a staunch ally of the Kingdom of Tondo. The Pacific side of Samar is also recognized by some historians as the ancestral homeland of the Polynesians. Ophir is more formally called by some historians as the Lakanate of Lawan.

Q2. Totoo ba ito? Kung totoo, bakit hindi sinama sa World History? 

A2. The Truth about OPHIR and the PHILIPPINES was NOT INCLUDED in World History because the Human Writers of History was BLINDED by GOD The FATHER NOT to see this Truth; for a purpose (1Corinthians 2:8). For more explanations, go to: Q716.

For additional explanations, go to the following articles:

1. THICK DARKNESS NOW COVERS THE PHILIPPINES. Yet, GOD COMMANDED THAT HIS GREAT LIGHT SHOULD SHINES OUT OF THIS DARKNESS IN THE PHILLIPINES! What Is That Great Light?

2. The Geographical Location of The PHILIPPINES is The Same Location In The Beginning Where God said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT"! In The End-Time, The Same Messianic Kabbalah Light of THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD Came Out of DARKNESS On The Face of The PHILIPPINE DEEP (Gen 1:2-3, 2Cor 4:6)!
3. Mr. Columna, Are There Any Direct Scriptures Refering To The Filipinos or The PHILIPPINES? Or Are You Relating To Their Character One Must Have? Please Explain This To Us.

  1. Spanish records points that the Lakanate of Lawan is the Ophir, the ancestral homeland of the polynesians, (as per Australia DNA study), and the Tagalogs (based on the origin of the Tagalog dialect). The Lakanate was once headed by Lakan Iberein whose ancestry traces its root in Samaria, an ancient capital of Israel. Lakan Iberein is responsible for naming the whole island as Samar in honor of his ancestral homeland.

  3. ophir is not the line of Generations for the people of God,to Abram,to David,to Jesus, so it is impossible that the philippines is the Ophir, because the descendaNTS OF oPHIR HAS NO CONNECTIONS TO JESUS.
