Q63: DID JESUS BELONG TO A KABBALISTIC SECT? I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT KABBALAH EMBRACED CHRISTIANITY.




Dear Pastor Kabbalist Lope Columna,

I first became familiar with the Kabbalah over 30 years ago and always thought of it as a Hebrew (Jewish) Sect. Needless to say I was quite surprised to find that Kabbalah embraced Christianity. I understand that your group is a Messianic Kabbalah and not the traditional Jewish brand of Kabbalah. The Bible only mentions several Jewish Sects that existed during Jesus' time in Israel, mainly the Pharisees and Sadducees, but I am sure that the Kabbalah Sect existed at that time as well as several others. 

I even entertained the thought that Jesus might have belonged to a Kabbalistic Sect.

Maranatha,

CHARLES PERKINS



"I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT KABBALAH EMBRACED CHRISTIANITY."

Lope Columna: The original, apostolic Church in the first century was taught Messianic Kabbalah by Jesus Christ Himself. But the Kabbalah of Christ (Messianic Kabbalah) is so strong and heavy that most of His Apostles and disciples cannot bear the heavy Kabbalah of the Messiah (John 16:12).
  • I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.  (John 16:12 KJV)
Because they were unprepared to receive the heavy Kabbalah messages, Christ was able to give the early Apostolic Church only a limited Kabbalah knowledge. 

After Christ's resurrection, Paul was found to be of a more stronger vessel to receive the heavy and powerful Messianic Kabbalah Light. So, Christ called Paul, taught him more Kabbalah knowledge and Wisdom. And Paul was made the Apostle to the Gentiles to preach and spread the very powerful Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom to the Gentiles, since the Jews would not listen to Paul's Kabbalistic messages.

The womb of Christianity, wherein she was first nurtured was the early Jewish Church of the original Apostles, that includes the Apostle Paul. So the above salient point in the history of Christianity shows that the early Christians have some close encounter with Messianic Kabbalah.

"I EVEN ENTERTAINED THE THOUGHT THAT JESUS MIGHT HAVE BELONGED TO KABBALISTIC SECT."

Lope Columna: Jesus Christ belong to the original Church He founded. And that Kabbalistic-Apostolic Church belong to Him. Jesus Christ is actually God the Father's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM, appearing in person! Christ is the Kabbalah Mystery, "which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints." (Col 1:24-26) 

For more explanation proving that Christ Jesus is the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom in person, go to, or click: The MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM IS ... JESUS CHRIST! Ignorance of this Truth Deceives You to "ANOTHER JESUS!" Did You Ever Check If the Jesus You Are Following is True or False? 

The rich glory of this supernal Messianic Kabbalah mystery is now revealed and open to the Gentiles. This Messianic Kabbalah is the hope of glory, or the hope of salvation of the Gentiles. 
  • ...on behalf of His body, which is the church; of which I became a minister, according to the administration of God given to me for you, TO FULFILL THE WORD OF GOD; THE MYSTERY which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.  (Col 1:24-26 MKJV)
  • To whom God would make known what is THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF THIS MYSTERY AMONG THE GENTILES; WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, the Hope of Glory:  (Col 1:27 KJV)
  • Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may PRESENT EVERY MAN PERFECT in Christ Jesus:  (Col 1:28 KJV)
IN JESUS CHRIST ARE HID ALL THE TREASURES OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE!
  • ... all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of THE MYSTERY OF GOD, and of THE FATHER, and of CHRIST; IN WHOM ARE HID ALL THE TREASURES OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.  (Col 2:2-3 KJV)
The MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM UNDECEIVE PEOPLE. WITHOUT IT, PEOPLE ARE EASILY DECEIVED!

Without the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, people are easy victims of the deceptive and enticing words of many Churches and religious leaders and teachers!
  • And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.  (Col 2:4 KJV)
Charles, I hope that my answers and comments vis-a-vis your questions and comments have satisfied your hunger for truth. If you have further questions, or if you need more clarifications, please continue asking.

Q62: ARE WE TO TAKE THE WORD OF EVERY PERSON WHO CLAIMS THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES HIM? HOW DO WE DISCERN? My Experience Tells Me That Most Who Say This Are Illusioned.



ARE WE TO TAKE THE WORD OF EVERY PERSON WHO CLAIMS THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES HIM? HOW DO WE DISCERN? My Experience Tells Me that Most Who Say This are Illusioned.

-- RONALD M. CRISS
   MA in Theology, Xavier University


Ron, the Bible advises us not to believe every spirit, or not to believe every person that claims to be led by the Spirit of God (1 John 4:1). We are commanded by the Bible to check or test every spirit whether they are from God or not. The reason why most religious leaders are illusioned is because they lack God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom. Because of this Messianic Kabbalah ignorance, they became the lying false prophets!
  • Dear friends, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT, BUT TEST THE SPIRITS to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  (1John 4:1 HCSB)
  • To the angel of the church in Ephesus write... I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil. YOU HAVE TESTED THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES APOSTLES AND ARE NOT, AND YOU HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE LIARS. (Rev 2:1-2 HCSB)
WHAT DOES IT MEAN, "EVERY SPIRIT"?

From John Hill's Exposition of the Entire Bible:
...By "every spirit" he means, either every doctrine that is pretended to come from the Spirit of God, or every teacher, who professes to be qualified and sent by him, and to have his light, knowledge, and doctrine from him. Every true minister of the Gospel has the Spirit, and the gifts of the Spirit, more or less, to qualify him for his work; he is separated, and called to it by him, and receives his spiritual light find knowledge from him; it is he that teaches him sound doctrine, and leads him into all truth, as it is in Jesus, and brings every necessary truth to his remembrance; and who succeeds his ministrations to the good of souls.

But there are some who call themselves the ministers of the Gospel, who, though they may have some natural abilities, and a share of human learning, and a notional knowledge of things, yet have never received either grace or gifts from the Spirit; nor have they been ever called by him; nor are their ministrations according to that divine word which is inspired by him, nor attended with his demonstration and power; wherefore, though some professing to have the Spirit of Christ are to be believed, yet not everyone. -- GILL

WHAT DOES IT MEAN, "TEST OR TRY THE SPIRITS"? EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE IF THESE THINGS WERE IN THE BIBLE.
  • The brothers sent Paul and Silas off to Berea. On arrival, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. The people here were MORE OPEN-MINDED than those in Thessalonica, since THEY WELCOMED THE MESSAGE WITH EAGERNESS and EXAMINED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE IF THESE THINGS WERE SO.  (Act 17:10-11 HCSB)
  • Consequently, many of them believed, including a number of the prominent Greek women as well as men.  (Act 17:12 HCSB)
From John Hill's Exposition of the Entire Bible:
...And so to do is very commendable, as appears from the instance of the Bereans, who on this account are said to be more noble than those of Thessalonica, Act_17:11; and from the commendation of the church at Ephesus, Rev_2:2. And this is what every believer, every private Christian should do; to them it belongs to read and search the Scriptures, and prove all things, and judge for themselves of the truth of doctrine; and to such a probation or trial of the spirits, spiritual light, knowledge, judgment, sense, experience, and divine guidance are necessary, which should be asked of God, and an increase thereof; and all such diligent searchers, and humble inquirers, are capable of making judgment of persons and doctrines, whether they are from the Spirit of God or not, for the Spirit of God never speaks contrary to his word. -- GILL 

The MORE PURE AND HOLY ANY DOCTRINE IS, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS TO BE OF GOD

From Mathhew Henry's Concise Commentary (MHCC):
The false teachers spake of the world according to its maxims and tastes, so as not to offend carnal men. The world approved them, they made rapid progress, and had many followers such as themselves; the world will love its own, and its own will love it. The true doctrine as to the Saviour's person, as leading men from the world to God, is a mark of the spirit of truth in opposition to the spirit of error. The more pure and holy any doctrine is, the more likely it is to be of God; nor can we by any other rules try the spirits whether they are of God or not.  -- MHCC

Q61: WHAT METHOD DO YOU EMPLOY TO DETERMINE AND OBSERVE THE SABBATH? Do You Use The "New Moon" Method?



Dear Pastor Kabbalist Lope Columna,
My name is Charles Perkins, and your article  on the Sabbath caught my attention.  I have for quite some time believed that the Sabbath was an identity sign between God and His People for ever -- a never ending perpetual covenant (Exodus 31:16-17). This position was further strengthened when Jesus said "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." (Matthew 5:17,18,19 all are germane)

My question is, what method do you employ to determine and observe the Sabbath? Do you use the "New Moon" method where the first sign of a New Moon is the first day of new month in the Hebrew Calendar which is not counted in determining the Sabbath?  In this method the Sabbath always occurs on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and the 29th day of each month.  As far as I know, today's Hebrews observe Saturday as their Sabbath along with most other Sabbath observing religions.  It is my understanding from Moses' time, and up to and through Jesus' time, that the "New Moon" method was employed by the Jews.  Just when they adopted the weekly Saturday as their Sabbath is unknown to me.  It is understood by me that the Sabbath starts at sunset and ends at sunset.  There are probably both Jewish and Christian Sects that employ the New Moon method of observing the Sabbath.

I have also been keenly aware of the fact that the early church was made up of both Jewish and Gentile members and that there was much discussions among the apostles concerning the Law, especially that concerning circumcision.  It is clear that somewhere down the pike that there must have been a rift that came about, which caused them to go their separate ways, which exist until these days.  Whatever caused them to break away from one another must have occurred sometime after James death. 

Another interesting point, at this time, many Jewish and multiple thousands of Muslims have been converting to Christianity.  This is at great risk for those in the Muslim community, because we read in the news quite frequently that these Christians are being executed because of their Christian believes. 

Maranatha, 

CHARLES PERKINS
PS:  I am not very pithy.  Got carried away with this. Just  really wanted your take on the Sabbath 

Q1. What method do you employ to determine and observe the Sabbath? Do you use the "New Moon" method where the first sign of a New Moon is the first day of new month in the Hebrew Calendar which is not counted in determining the Sabbath? 

A1. I don't use the "NEW MOON" method in observing the weekly Sabbath. God, as He created the days of the week, ordained that each day should begin at sunset (evening) and should end in the next sunset (Gen 1:5, 31).
  • And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.  (Gen 1:5 KJV)
  • And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.  (Gen 1:31 KJV)
This is how God reckons the start and end of the 24-hour day, in contrast to man's reckoning which starts at midnight. The Jews, from the beginning of time, always observed the weekly Sabbath from sunset to sunset.

Christ, as His custom, being a Jew Himself, also observed the weekly Sabbath from sunset to sunset ("the evening and morning" of a day).
  • And he (Christ) came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as HIS CUSTOM was, he went into the synagogue on the SABBATH DAY, and stood up for to read.  (Luke 4:16 KJV)
Luke 4:16 proves that Christ regularly attended the weekly Sabbath service of the Jewish synagogue. In that service the Scriptures of the Old Testament were read, prayers were offered, and the Word of God was explained.

The "NEW MOON" is used by the Jews to signify the start of a month, not a day. The new moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon, in its monthly orbital motion around Earth, lies between Earth and the Sun. At this time, the dark part of the Moon faces almost directly toward Earth, so that the Moon is not visible to the naked eye.

IN ADDITION TO THE WEEKLY SABBATH, GOD ALSO COMMANDED US TO OBSERVE HIS ANNUAL SABBATHS

If ever, the "new moon" is used in relation to the ANNUAL SABBATHS that God also commanded to be kept and observed. Yes, there are two kinds of Sabbaths:
  1. The WEEKLY SABBATH 
  2. The ANNUAL SABBATHS
Most Christians that observed the weekly Sabbath do not know and therefore, do not observe the Annual Sabbaths. The examples of annual Sabbaths are: the 7 Days of Unleavened Bread, the Pentecost (Feast of Weeks), the Feast of Tabernacles (Booths), etc. Usually, during these Annual Sabbaths, the moon is in its "FULL MOON" condition.
  • All your males are to appear three times a year before the LORD your God in the place He chooses: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Booths. No one is to appear before the LORD empty-handed.  (Deu 16:16 HCSB)
Charles, I hope that my answers and comments vis-a-vis your questions and comments have satisfied your hunger for truth. If you have further questions, or if you need more clarifications, please continue asking.

Q60: Lope, HOW DID YOU KNOW MESSIANIC KABBALAH? From What School Did You Study? Can You Give Us The History of MESSIANIC KABBALAH?



 QUESTIONS: Lope, you said marami na ang naniniwala sa Messianic Kabbalah at mga tinuturo mo. Matanong nga kita, 1) Ikaw ba ay nakapagaral nito? 2) Anong school? 3) Saan? 4) At pakibigyan mo nga kami ng history ng COLUMNA MESSIANIC KABBALAH.

LEONARDO R. GAZA
Windsor, North Carolina



I was asked the questions above several times by several people. Others may also have similar questions in their minds. So, I post here my answers, and other information about the newly revealed Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom.

ANSWERS: The Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom was revealed to me by the Spirit of Truth (John 16:12-14). No human being has formally taught me about this Messianic Kabbalah. Since this supernal Wisdom was hidden by God the Father for thousands of years since Moses at Mount Sinai, no Human Being or Church has ever known such Heavenly and Holy Wisdom, except to those selected FEW that Christ has chosen to reveal!

Just like Apostle Paul, it was, and it is the LORD Jesus Christ and God the Father that taught me, and is continually teaching and revealing to me His Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom (Galatians 1:11-12). 
  • I certify you, brethren, that the [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] GOSPEL which was preached of me is NOT AFTER MAN. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. (Gal 1:11-12 KJV) 
The LORD Jesus Christ is my personal Kabbalah Mentor. And it is interesting to note that Paul was given an in-depth revelation of the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom more than Peter and the other original apostles (2Peter 3:15-16). There are special qualifications for someone to be given this supernal wisdom, which is a separate subject of discussion.

The SPIRIT OF TRUTH REVEALS THE MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM
  • I still have many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now. When the SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also declare to you what is to come. (John 16:12-13)
  • He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you. Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you. (John 16:14-15)
After the great Kabbalist BAAL SHEM TOV, no human being has ever known this supernal Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom up to our present end-time generation of the Messianic Era. Therefore, there is no Organization, Church, or School, that teaches this kind of supernal Messianic Knowledge and Wisdom. Although there are Kabbalah Centers and Study Groups in Israel and the USA, what they are teaching are not the Messianic Kabbalah. Their Kabbalah is devoid of Jesus Christ.

JESUS CHRIST, via His Spirit of Truth, taught me this great supernal wisdom that was hidden by God the Father for thousands of years! I called this Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom to differentiate this from the Non-Messianic Kabbalah taught by the Jews and others. 

So, the Messianic Kabbalah is the Kabbalah of the Messiah -- Jesus Christ! In other words, this Messianic Kabbalah is from God the Father, given to Jesus Christ. Then, Christ personified this Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom when He came in the human flesh, 2,000 years ago!

The MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM WAS GIVEN TO ADAM, ABRAHAM, MOSES...

This Messianic Kabbalah was given to the first Adam, but it was lost when Adam sinned. It was re-given to Moses at Mount Sinai, but was lost again when the Israelites committed the sin of the Golden Calf. This Messianic Kabbalah was personified then by Jesus Christ when He came to this Earth about 2,000 years ago.

Christ taught His Kabbalah Wisdom (the Messianic Kabbalah) to His chosen Apostles and the first century Apostolic Church. When the original Apostles were martyred, and the original Kabbalistic Church was persecuted and scattered, this Messianic Kabbalah was lost again. 

The last Apostle to live, the Apostle John who was exiled in the island of Patmos, wrote the last book of the Bible, which is the Kabbalistic Book of Revelation -- to remind us all that Messianic Kabbalah was lost and must be recaptured again by the true Jews and Christians.

In our generation today, the Savior Jesus Christ is about to return. Now, this super-important Messianic Kabbalah must be revealed to the whole world, as the King Messiah will soon rule this whole world. God the Father knows that many people, even religious people, will reject this supernal wisdom, as many religious people rejected Christ when He was on Earth in the human flesh. 

But for those true followers of Christ and God the Father, this Messianic Kabbalah is a super-power weapon and energy source for them to overcome their selfish ego or evil inclination. This Messianic Kabbalah will give them power to transform their inner self, and overcome the temptations of the world. With this, they will come out of this corrupt world as more than conquerors (Romans 8:37)!
  • In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  (Rom 8:37 KJV)
WITH THE REVELATION OF THE MESSIANIC KABBALAH, The GENUINE BRIDE OF CHRIST WAS BORN!

After Christ revealed to me His Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, I was also inspired to register the BRIDE OF CHRIST, Inc. in the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The BRIDE OF CHRIST, Inc. was registered by SEC as a religious Corporation Sole. Thus, the revelation of Messianic Kabbalah to me is also the revelation of Messianic Kabbalah to the genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST Ministry.

God revealed the MESSIANIC KABBALAH Wisdom only to the genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST, and not to the Churches! It is now Her divine mission to spread this supernal wisdom to the whole world, which is the End-Time Elijah Work!. The return of King Messiah, and the severity of human sufferings, death and destruction of planet Earth hinge upon this super-important Elijah Mission (Malachi 4:5-6). 

No human being or organization can prevent the fulfillment of this Messianic Mission. People either support or reject this great honor and responsibility. Those who supports this great and super-important Kabbalah mission, God will reward with great honor in this world and in the World-to-Come! I encouraged everyone to support this great work of God, and share in the great reward!

The END-TIME ELIJAH WORK IS NOW GIVEN TO THE BRIDE OF CHRIST! All That Which is Crooked and Distorted in Bible Understanding Will Now Be Cleared and Made Straight!

As a result of the BRIDE OF CHRIST'S acceptance of the Messianic Kabbalah Challenge, it becomes Her major job to explain and expound all the secrets of the Torah (the Bible). And all that which is crooked and distorted in Bible understanding which cause confusion and conflicts among the Churches will be cleared and made straight.

This also means that the ELIJAH Work of clearing the way, of making ready the way for the return of the Messiah is now in the hands of genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST!

Jesus Christ is the KING MESSIANIC-KABBALIST, and His form of government that will be imposed to this world is Kabbalistic. Therefore, this world, especially God's people, must be oriented toward this powerful Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom!

For an in-depth explanation of the history of the revelation of this Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, go to: TIMELINE: HOW THE FAMINE OF GOD'S WORDS HAS ENDED! The Publication of Zohar, Lifting of Kabbalah Prohibition, End-Time Calling of The Man From The Far East, Appearance of The Bride of Christ, and Revelation of Christ As The Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom in Person!

Q59: COULD GOD ACCEPT HIS WORDS TO BE MISTRANSLATED? DOESN'T THAT MAKE THE BIBLE INACCURATE?



1. COULD GOD ACCEPT HIS WORDS TO BE MISTRANSLATED? DOESN'T THAT MAKE THE BIBLE INACCURATE?  

-- MICHAEL REGONDOLA
   Cavite City, Philippines

2. How are we to judge whether Church doctrine is corrupt or not if we dismiss the Bible as obsolete?

-- RONALD M. CRISS
   MA in Theology, XAVIER University

ANSWER: From the side of God, He does not want His Bible to be mistranslated. But the TORAH or the BIBLE was already given to Man, and Man was also given the freedom of Choice or FREEWILL. And Man because of Sin, caused by the Yetzer Hara (Evil Inclination) injected by Satan, mistranslated God's Bible to suit his carnal desires. The Bible is mistranslated either unintentionally or intentionally or BOTH. This is prophesied in Jeremiah 8:8-9, and Job 13:4.
  • How can you claim: We are wise; the law of the LORD is with us? In fact, the lying pen of scribes has produced falsehood.  (Jer 8:8)
  • The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and snared. They have rejected the word of the LORD, so what wisdom do they really have?  (Jer 8:9)
  • But you coat the truth with lies; you are all worthless doctors.  (Job 13:4)
Yes, ALL the Bible translations are inaccurate. Only the original Hebrew Bible given by God to Moses at Mount Sinai is accurate. 

The process of translating the Bible automatically change the original words, and this greatly affects the original intended meaning and power of the Words of God. The translators may have the intention to inject their own religious ideas, or may be not. But the fact is, in the translation process many intended meaning and concepts, and the truth of the Bible are either lost or changed.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mean that we have to reject the present Bible translations altogether. We still need the present Bible translations, as the "Beginner's Guide, Elementary Textbook, or Stepping Stone" to the higher levels of God's Truth. But we should not stop, or feel comfortable with these Bible translations. People who develop "comfort zones" with these Bible translations became victims of the following scriptures.
  • The LORD said, "It is because they abandoned My law I set in front of them and did not obey My voice or walk according to it.  (Jer 9:13)
  • Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and the Baals, as their fathers taught them."  (Jer 9:14)
  • ...the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited LIES, VANITY, and things wherein there is no profit.  (Jer 16:19 KJV)
DIG DEEP, AND BREAK THROUGH THE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TO FIND AND UNDERSTAND THE PURE AND COMPLETE LIVING WORDS OF GOD

We have to dig deeper, and soar higher to really find and understand the PURE and COMPLETE Words of God.

The responsibility to care and preserve the pure and holy Bible or the Scriptures were given By God only to the Jewish people. As the Jews were in exile, the TORAH or the BIBLE was in exile also. This means that the Truths in the BIBLE are scattered all over the world, covered with many layers of  falsehood and lies (the impurities of Klipah). This means that to acquire the PURE AND COMPLETE TRUTH of the Bible, we must dig deep, and break through the husks and shells of these KLIPAH. As we do this painstaking process, we must be willing to throw away all those Klipah of falsehood. Of course, we cannot do this by own effort and intelligence. We need the Spirit of Truth and the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom.

The reality of the Bible translations today is that they are all covered or enveloped with wrong translations and private interpretations of men, which led to lies and erroneous beliefs and doctrines about the pure words of God. This means that the holy and pure Truth of God is still contained within the Bible, only that it is covered or surrounded with the "shell" and "husk" or KLIPAH (Hebrew word for evil forces).

To illustrate my point, think of it this way: We are all familiar with the coconut fruit ("buko" or "niyog"). What we need in these fruits are the nutritious coconut meat and juice inside. We don't like the husk and shell that covers the coconut fruit. So what we do, is that we open the fruit by cutting or breaking the husk and shell to get the meat and juice for our beneficial use. After doing this, we throw away the husk and shell as garbage.

WHAT WE MUST DO WITH THE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS ENVELOPED WITH ERRORS AND LIES

We must do the same with the Bible. We don't throw away the Bible just because it is covered with the "husk" or klipah of errors and lies. What we should do is to "cut through" the husk and shell, and access the pure and nutritious words of God, that give us life! This means a whole new approach to our Bible Studies!

COULD GOD ACCEPT HIS WORDS TO BE MISTRANSLATED?

God does not approved the translations of the Bible, but He permitted it. This situation became a test to people. By this, God can truly identify who are really after His truth, and not after the teachings of men about the Bible. And the prophesy of Christ in Matthew 24:5 can be fulfilled.

Then He said, "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Don't follow them. (Luk 21:8)

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (Mat 24:5 KJV)

And Jesus said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive YOU (Mat 24:4).

So, for those who really want to know the truth of God, they must focus and use their minds sharply to get the true and full meaning of every scripture in the Bible. And they must use all the current technologies and resources available to see and prove the point. And the most important of all, they must ask God for wisdom and for the Spirit of Truth to guide them (John 16:12-14).

As we continue to search for the truth that is truly from GOD the Father, we must always have an open mind, and always check every letter, word, and context of the verses written in the Bible translations against the original Hebrew Bible. If these seem formidable to you, don't worry, the BRIDE OF CHRIST Ministry now exists for that very purpose -- to help the brethren and the public in the true understanding of the pure and holy Hebrew Bible which is a requirement for Salvation.

With the above revelations, we are now forced to go back to the original, pure, and unadulterated words of God, which is the Hebrew Bible, as given by God to Moses. It is truly a big test to every Jew and Christian.

NOTE: Bible verses used in this article is based on the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). If not, the quoted translation is mentioned.

Q58: CAN GOD BE DEFEATED BY IRON CHARIOTS (Judges 1:19)? Please Comment on Judges 1:19. The Bible Writer Seems So Enamored With The Technology of the Day -- The IRON CHARIOTS -- That Even God Could Not Prevail!



Hi, Lope. Can you comment on Judges 1:19. The Bible writer seems so enamored with the Technology of the day -- the IRON CHARIOTS -- that even God could not prevail. 

-- MICHAEL REGONDOLA
   Cavite City, Philippines



  • Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory.  (Jdg 1:18)
  • The LORD was with Judah and enabled them to take possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the people who were living in the valley because those people had iron chariots.  (Jdg 1:19)
Were the iron chariots too strong for God? Can God be defeated by chariots of iron, when God Himself has thousands and thousands of chariots of angels (Psalm 68:17)?
  • The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. (Psa 68:17 KJV)
A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF BIBLE MISTRANSLATION!


The verse (Judges 1:19) is improperly translated. The first clause, The Lord was with Judah should be part of verse 18; this gives the reason for the success of the tribe of Judah: The Lord was with Judah, and therefore Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory (Judges 1:18). It is because that the LORD was with Judah, that they were able to conquer their enemies.

The remaining part of the verse either refers to a different time, or to the sin of the tribe of Judah against the Lord, which caused Him to withdraw His support. As always, when the people of God commit sin, God leaves them. Therefore, they lost God's protection, and their enemies became strong and fearsome to the Israelites.

The following Scriptures show that when Israel sins, God always leave them, and they are given (sold) to their enemies as punishment of the sin.
  • The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD after Ehud had died.  (Jdg 4:1)
  • So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera who lived in Harosheth of the Nations.  (Jdg 4:2)
Because of their unbelief and/or sins, they distrusted God's power to destroy those who had chariots of iron, whereby God was provoked to withdraw His helping hand. Not because the iron chariots were too strong for God's power; but because their courage and faith failed when they saw them. And God is not with them anymore.

WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE REPENTS AND RETURNS TO HIM, NO IRON CHARIOTS OR ADVANCED HI-TECH WEAPONS OF WAR CAN DEFEAT THEM!

But when Israel or His chosen people return to God, God fights for them, and no IRON CHARIOTS can stand before them! 
  • Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had 900 iron chariots, and he harshly oppressed them 20 years.  (Jdg 4:3)
HOW GOD DESTROYED THE IRON CHARIOTS AS HE FIGHTS FOR HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE
  • It was reported to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor.  (Jdg 4:12)
  • Sisera summoned all his 900 iron chariots and all the people who were with him from Harosheth of the Nations to the Wadi Kishon.  (Jdg 4:13)
  • Then Deborah said to Barak, "Move on, for this is the day the LORD has handed Sisera over to you. Hasn't the LORD gone before you?" So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him.  (Jdg 4:14)
  • The LORD threw Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army into confusion with the sword before Barak. Sisera left his chariot and fled on foot.  (Jdg 4:15)
  • That day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.  (Jdg 4:23)
IF  GOD IS WITH HIS PEOPLE, IRON CHARIOTS ARE NOTHING BEFORE THEM!
  • You can also drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and are strong."  (Jos 17:18)
This is the meaning given to the verse by Jonathan ben Uzziel: "And the Word of the LORD  was in the support of the house of Judah, and they extirpated the inhabitants of the mountains; but afterwards, when they sinned, they were not able to extirpate the inhabitants of the plain country, because they had chariots of iron." 

SUMMARY: Judges 1:19 is a mistranslation. The first clause, The Lord was with Judah should be part of verse 18. It does not mean that God cannot drive away the IRON CHARIOTS as verse 1:19 presented. 

The reason why the Israelites cannot drive away the Iron Chariots is because God left them because of their sins or lack of faith. Without God in their midst, they lost the divine protection that God provides, so they are now weak before their enemies.

    The BIBLE EXPLAINER AND REVELATOR



Lope, thanks for the scholarly answer to my question. But could God accept his words to be mistranslated? Doesn't that make the Bible inaccurate? I'll be citing more passages for your comments. Among all that I've talk too, no one commented like you do. I trust you have the ability to get to the actual answer. If its a mistranslation, we all should take it as that and close the issue. Be clear on my motive: I don't want to believe. I want to know.
