Benjaminite Wolf Prophecy


Benjaminite Wolf Prophecy
Image
Let's follow the prophecy of the Benjamin Wolf.
  1. Genesis 49:1 “And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
  2. Genesis 49:27 “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at night he shall divide the spoil.”
Jacob calls all of His sons which are the twelve tribes of Israel. In Genesis 49:8-12, Jacob tells his prophecies about the coming of our Lord Jesus when he is talking to his son Judah. From the tribe of Judah in which Jesus came. A total of five verses he spoke. He reserves just one verse to his son Benjamin in Genesis 49:27 and he did not have anything good to say about Benjamin and his descendants.
Destruction follow Benjamin and his sons every where they went. Starting with the birth of Benjamin, his mother Rachel died while giving birth to him in Genesis 35:18.

In Judges 20, the tribe of Benjamin raped and killed women while fighting against the other Israelite tribes. They immediately became outcast among their own people.

The Tribe of Benjamin was almost wiped out at the Battle of Gibeath and in Judges 21, the other eleven Israelite Tribes would not allow their daughters to marry anyone from the Tribe of Benjamin. The remaining tribes allowed the remnant of the Benjamin Tribe to marry foreign women of the surrounding towns who had lost their husbands as punishment. The tribe of Benjamin was allowed to continue through inter racial marriages.

Jacob in Genesis 49:27 says that the Tribe of Benjamin was like a ravenous wolf and in the morning that he shall devour his prey and at night he would divide the spoil.

 Paul is the man that Jacobs prophesy is about. In the morning Saul of Tarsus kills his prey (Christians). Acts 7:58-59 “and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” and at night he would divided the spoil. As Saul becomes Paul he divides God's people.
  1. Paul says in Romans 11:1 “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
  2. Philippians 3:5 “Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
Jesus warns us several times about this ravenous wolf. In Matthew 7:15 Jesus says, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”

Let's see how the false apostle Paul divides the spoils at night (night meaning the later part of his life).
We will start with the words of a True Prophet who passes the test of a prophet with flying colors, Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 22:26-31 “Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God."

Seeing vanity is an easy one, Paul mentions me, myself and I, more than any other in the Bible. With 175 times in 1st Corinthians, 103 times in 2nd Corinthians, in the short book of Galatians an outstanding 69 times.

What does Paul teach? Did he butcher the law in his teachings, when Jesus says that the law stands until heaven and earth pass away in Matthew 5:17-19, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

Paul says in Galatians 2:16, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”

 Paul also says in 1 Corinthians 10:23-27, “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.”
 Paul just can not seem to shut up, in Colossians 2:13-16, “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:”

Really Paul? We can't be judged by not keeping the sabbath days? Should we disregard Exodus 20:8, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Jesus said that, “Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

Paul says in Romans 3:27 “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.” 

Who is right about the law of faith? Paul who claims to have a vision just like Joesph Smith and Mohammed? Or James who actually knew Jesus and was Jesus' brother and a true Apostle?

James says in James 2:24, “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”

Paul you can fool some people that hold to the power and authority of the whore (Revelation 17) that gives you power, but you can not fool the people who meditate on the word day and night and knows the trickery of Satan.

Paul Rejected

Mirror, Mirror


Mirror, Mirror
Through the years, My wife and I have butted heads on several topics from the Bible. She would state something and I would state the opposite. We would both pull out our Bibles to support our claim and it turned out that we both were right or both of us were wrong. The Bible contradicted itself.

Through these disagreements brought me to an interesting conclusion, it was Paul. I also found out that this Paul problem was not new. The early Christians rejected Paul and some of the most famous people in history also rejected Paul. Thomas Jefferson, who was an American founding father and third President of the United States also rejected the Apostle Paul. He disliked Paul so much, he even created a bible that did not included any of Paul's writings in the Jefferson Bible.

The problems that stem from Paul are his conversion on the road to Damascus. Each time it is recorded, it seems to change. Acts 9:3-7 say's hearing but not seeing and Acts 22:9 says seeing but not hearing. If the Books of the Bible are the words of God, Why would God allow this? The God I worship is perfect does not allow mistakes.

People with Big Ego's get on my nerves more quickly than others. Paul had an enormous ego problem. It was all about me, myself and I with him. No other author of the books of the bible was so full of himself and used so many personal pronouns as Paul. Paul refers to himself as me, myself and I 175 times in 1st Corinthians, 103 times in 2nd Corinthians, in the short book of Galatians an outstanding 69 times. I just wonder if Paul had a mirror how many times a day he would gleam at himself. To himself, Paul was the greatest Apostle that ever lived. He even rebuked Peter to his face once in Galatians 2:11.

Ask yourself these questions.
  1. Why did Paul not accept what the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 had said?
  2. Paul says in Galatians 2:16 that we are saved by faith only. Then why does James refute this by calling the author of this doctrine a “vain man” in James 2:20?
  3. Why in 1st Corinthians 10:27?
  4. Why does Paul say, “as it is written” in Romans 3:10 and piece together sentences from six different places in the Old Testament?
  5. If no one is righteous as he claims in Romans 3:9-20, why in Luke 1:6 claim that the parents of John the Baptist as “righteous before God”?
  6. If Paul is not the one that Revelation 2:2 speaks of, why does Paul say in 2nd Timothy 1:15 that everyone in Asia had turned away from him? The church of Ephesus was in Asia.
  7. How can Paul be a 13th apostle when Revelation 21:14 says that there are only twelve? How about Matthew 19:28?
  8. Paul in Ephesians 1:1 address them as an apostle, is he the one guilty in Revelation 2:2?
  9. If Paul says in Ephesians 6:19 of making the “mystery of the gospel” known, why didn't Jesus share this mystery with the twelve that had spent 3 years with Him in His earthly ministry?
  10. In Philippians 2:7, Paul says that Jesus came in the likeness of men, In Romans 8:3, Paul says Jesus was the “likeness of sinful flesh”. But in 1st John 4:2-4 in KJV, (the NIV omits it), John says anyone who denies that Jesus did not come in the flesh is part of the spirit of the anti Christ. Does this make Paul the anti Christ?
  11. Who authorized Paul to give us new commandments in 1st Thessalonians 4:2?
  12. In 2nd Thessalonians 3:14, who gave the authority to Paul demanding people to obey? Should I be ashamed for not believing Paul?
  13. Does Paul have the authority to judge and deliver people over to Satan as he does in 1st Timothy 1:20? This has Catholicism written all over it.
  14. Why was Paul looking for a prophet to endorse him in 1st Corinthians 14:37?
  15. Why did Jesus not mention Paul in Matthew 28:18-20?
  16. Why did Jesus say in Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” and then take it away from them in Galatians 2:7?
  17. Why did Paul in Acts 21:21 teach the Jews to forsake the law of Moses, when Jesus said in Matthew 5:18, “Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”?
  18. Why did Paul tell in 1st Corinthians 8:8 it was OK to eat idol meat when the Council of Jerusalem said not to in Acts 15:29?
  19. If the “other Gospel” in Galatians 1:6 was not the very one taught by the original Apostles John, Peter and John, why does Paul attack their character in Galatians 2?
  20. Why did Paul accuse Peter for acting Jewish around Jews and acting gentile around gentiles in Galatians 2:14, when Paul claims to do the same thing in 1st Corinthians 9:20-22?
  21. Compare Galatians 2:7 to Acts 15:7, who was the one that was to spread the Gospel to the gentiles?
  22. When Paul had Timothy circumcised in Acts 16:1-3, and then tell Him that he did it to profit nothing and He was now in debt to the entire law and he had fallen from grace as in Galatians 5:2-4?
  23. If Jesus had abolished the law as Paul claims in Ephesians 2:15, then why did Jesus lie in Matthew 5:17? Has Heaven and Earth passed away?
  24. In Acts 23:6 Paul claims to be a Pharisee, Jesus says in Luke 12:1 to beware of Pharisees. Was Jesus referring to Paul?
  25. Did Paul allow us to change the Sabbath in Colossians 2:13-16? Compared to Matthew 5:17-19
It's all confusion when you study Paul and compare his words to other scripture in the Bible. Do we follow Paul or do we follow Jesus? I chose to follow Jesus' Red words and the men who was actually there with Jesus. John, James, Luke, Matthew, Mark and Peter. Not Paul and his companions.

Notable Quotes about the False Apostle


Notable Quotes about the False Apostle

"Paul was the great Coryphaeus, and first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Where possible he (Paul) avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord."
-Albert Schweitzer

It rest with every professor of the religion of Jesus to settle within himself to which of the two religions, that of Jesus or that of Paul, he will adhere”
-Jeremy Bentham

"Paul's words are not the Words of God. They are the words of Paul- a vast difference."
-Bishop John S Spong

"Paul, not Jesus, was the founder of Christianity as a new religion which developed away from both normal Judaism and the Nazarene variety of Judaism."
-Hyam Maccoby

"Paul hardly ever allows the real Jesus of Nazareth to get a word in."
-Carl Jung

"What kind of authority can there be for an "apostle" who, unlike the other apostles, had never been prepared for the apostolic office in Jesus' own school but had only later dared to claim the apostolic office on the basis of his own authority? The only question comes to be how the apostle Paul appears in his Epistles to be so indifferent to the historical facts of the life of Jesus... He bears himself but little like a disciple who has received the doctrines and the principles which he preaches from the Master whose name he bears."
-Ferdinand Christian Baur

"... Paul is in effect the first Christian heretic, and his teachings, which become the foundation of later Christianity, are a flagrant deviation from the 'Original' or 'pure' form extolled by the leadership. Whether James, the 'Lord's brother,' was literally Jesus' blood kin or not (and everything suggests he was), it is clear that he knew Jesus...personally. So did most of the other members of the community or 'early Church,' in Jerusalem, including of course, Peter. When they spoke, they did so with first hand authority. Paul had never had such personal acquaintance with the figure he'd begun to regard as his 'Savior.' He had only his quasi-mystical experience in the desert and the sound of a disembodied voice. For him to arrogate authority to himself on this basis is, to say the least, presumptuous. It also leads him to distort Jesus' teachings beyond recognition, to formulate, in fact, his own highly individual and idiosyncratic theology, and then to legitimize it by spuriously ascribing it to Jesus. As things transpired, however, the mainstream of the new movement gradually coalesced, during the next three centuries, around Paul and his teachings. Thus, to the undoubted posthumous horror of James and his associates, an entirely new religion was indeed born, a religion that came to have less and less to do with its supposed founder."

Testing Scripture


Testing Scripture
 The claim to be a prophet is a serious matter. If we are to believe someone who says they had a vision, should we trust them? or test them? If we are to trust them, then what is the difference between Saul of Tarsus, Joesph Smith or Muhammad? If we are to test them, there is no difference either.

The Bible tells us what we can add to scripture by the testing of prophets that it has set in place. Only true prophets can be added. Some of these tests are in Deuteronomy chapters 4,12,13&18.

A key test is that a true prophet can not diminish or subtract from any command previously given (Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32). Even if a prophet showed signs and wonders (Deuteronomy 13:1-5).

Deuteronomy 18:20-22, “But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name,  which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”

The first test of a valid prophet is they must make a specific prophecy using the name of the Lord. Some will say that an Angel appeared to them and others will say that God appear to them. If one says an angel appeared and the prophecy does not come to pass, they can say that it was an angel of darkness and escape the death penalty. If they say that God or Jesus appears and says, “the Lord saith”, and the prophecy does not come to pass, they are to be put to death.

If the event is easily predictable, such as the sun will rise in the morning, these predictions are not prophetic. Divine prophecy is making a prediction of something that is specific and highly improbable that God only knows. The speaker must clearly claim divine inspiration from God Himself for a highly specific and unlikely prediction.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:2
A false prophet include someone who tries to "diminish" the words of a prior validated prophet. While a valid prophet can add to Scripture.

The Bible warns that even if someone comes with what otherwise appears to be valid true prophecy, they are invalid if they "diminish" the words of a prior valid prophet and if they come with true"signs and wonders" which "come to pass," they are still a false prophet if they thereafter try to "seduce you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk."

Isaiah 8:20 also says, “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”. Isaiah is speaking of the Law of Moses, God tells us one who teaches contrary to the commands in the Law is a false prophet despite his having true prophecy and real signs and wonders. By this standard all doctrines are still to be tried.

Balaam was one who has been put to this test. At first he was a true prophet that came from God and was filled with the Holy Spirit (Numbers 24:1-2). Later on he teaches people to do things which was not according to the Law of Moses, he says it's OK to eat of meat sacrificed to idols and it's was alright to fornicate (Numbers 31:16, Revelation 2:14). He fails the prophet test and you must ignore everything he has said. He seduced his people away from the Lord (Deuteronomy 13:5)

Why does God allow this? He allows them to seduce us to test our Love for Him. The Lord saith in Deuteronomy 12:32-13:5, “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.”

1 John 4:3 says, “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

What did Jesus say about false prophets? In Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” In Matthew 24:11, “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” How about in Matthew 24:24, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Here are some additional Biblical test of a prophet: Jeremiah 28:9, A true prophet absolutely does not lie. Their predictions will be one hundred percent fulfilled. Daniel 10:17, While in vision, they don't breathe. Numbers 24:4,16, they will fall into trance with eyes open during a vision.  

Here's recap of how to test a prophet:
  1. A prophet can not diminish or subtract from any command previously given from a prophet. Even if a prophet showed signs and wonders.
  2. They must make a specific prophecy using the name of the Lord
  3. One who teachings are contrary to the Law of Moses despite his having true prophecy and real signs and wonders
  4. A true prophet absolutely does not lie
  5. Their predictions will be one hundred percent fulfilled
  6. While in vision, they don't breathe
  7. While in trance, they will have their eyes open during the vision
  8. If anyone denies that Jesus did not come in the flesh is that of the antichrist 
No Catholic council ever applied these test to the books of the new testament, they only
