ABRAHAM'S SACRIFICE: ISHMAEL OR ISAAC? by PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

The information was taken from the book of Genesis in the Holy bible written by Moses as recorded historical events and not as a prophecy, dream or vision. On his departure from Egypt, he studied under his Father-In-Law Jethro an Ishmaelite desendants of Abraham. 

The very Ishmaelite who took Joseph to Egypt as part of God's Master plan. Moses the second leader after the death of Joseph was also trained by Jethro as a priest who did offered sacrifice unto the God of Abraham as their great ancestor Abraham did.

 Coupled with his high level of Egyptian Education, he was very fast to grap as many information as possible from Jethro source. The book of Job a none Jew but of Ishmaelite/Arab origin was written by Moses during his pre-islamic study with Jethro - and about Melchizedek Arab Priest to whom Abraham paid his tithe to.

The pre-islamic religion was handed down to Ishmael by Hagar when he grew up and she was regarded as a priestess and founder of the pre-Islamic religion with Ishmael after Abraham had abandoned them in the wilderness when Ishmael was a child.

As he grew up being a prophet like his father Abraham and being part of the covenant of circumcision, spread the good news to his descendants who took it upto the time of Jethro and Prophet Balaam.

 Both Moses and Aaron where both trained by Jethro their In-law for their preparation to begin their official assignment before God commissioned them to go to Egypt to bring out the people of Isreal from the house of bondage.

 It appeared that before Moses escape to Egypt, he had already told his parent about his plan of leaving Egypt for Median; so Aaron his elder brother was able to trace him to Median and was living with them and who happened to come to the area Moses met the angel of the Lord who appeared to him in the form of burning bush for the first time. 

Both brothers trained by Jethrow became the founder of Judaism. Aaron was commissioned by God as the High Priest and Moses was the Prophet and political leader.Therefore Moses studied a great deal of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac from Jethro which he wrote in Genesis being a historical event and not a vision, dream or prophecy although they could be some erros as not every information he got from those source will be very accurate as humans.

Now according to Moses, it was Isaac that was used for the sacrifice after Ishmael and his mother Hagar has been abandoned in the wilderness. But the Koran say it was Ishmael that was used not Isaac for the fact the Ishmael was the only son of Abraham and this event took place before the birth of Isaac.

Now we have three records as witnesses to this account. One is the holy bible written by Moses, two, is the Holy Koran and the 

Third is the Islamic Hadith. Both the Koran and the Islamic Hadith are all prophecies written by Prophet Muhammed and not recorded events but are shadows of the past and future events; therefore they cannot fulfill exactly but could be very similar to the original historical record in Genesis which proceeds the Holy Koran.

Now in the Koran, it was indicated that when the boy has reached the age of working for his father Abraham, he told the son that he got a vision of using him for the sacrifice and the son obeyed.

The book of Genesis confirmed this; Isaac being a boy was able to carry the heavy logs of wood and climbing  the mountain to reach the top for sacrifice. 

So he was of good age as the Koran confirmed. Abraham informed Isaac of using him for the sacrifice as the Lord commanded and Isaac obeyed as the Koran also confirmed in respect of Ishmael.

But the Hadith written by the very Prophet Muhammed did not agree on this point with the Koran but agrees with the record in Genesis instead.

 According to the report in Genesis, Abraham drove Ishmael and his Mother away as a child or as an infant.The bible revealed that both Ishmeal and Abraham did not see again until after the death of Abraham and when Ishmael was informed, he also came and teamed up with Isaac and buried their father as brothers of the same father. So he only saw his father's corpse for the last time after several years of depature.The Islamic Hadith of Prophet Muhammed also confirmed that Abraham abandoned Ishmael and his mother when Ishmael was still sucking her breast and drinking from the water which Abraham supplied to Hagar before he abandoned them in the wilderness as a child. She even called him and he refused to return to her but told her that it was the command from the Lord that he should abandon them in the wilderness which the book of Genesis also confimed.

According to the book of Genesis, Abraham pleaded with the Lord for her and his son to stay but God told him to obey the command of Sarah by sending her away according to Moses record in Genesis. So both records agree although there are some erros on the part of Genesis as regards the infancy description of Ishmael who at the time of their departure was 17 years of age, yet he still regarded as a child but both records are similar although with a slight difference of the exact age bracket. 

Then the bible reveals that it was after the departure of Ishmael and his mother for so many years , that God asked Abraham to used Isaac for the sacrifice being his only son at that particular time while Ishmael was cast out since from his childhood who grew up in the wilderness and married to an Egyptian lady as the book of Genesis and the Islamic Hadith confirmed.

Therefore it was Isaac that was to be used for the sacrifice and not Ishmael; According to the Islamic Hidath and the Book of Genesis, Ishmael did not grow up with his father rather it was Isaac untill the dead of Abraham.

 Since the information in the Koran is a prophecy and not an actual recoded event unlike that of Genesis, Ishmael becomes a shadow of Isaac in the Holy Koran who was used for the sacrifice instead since Ishmael represent Isaac as the prophecy in the Koran implied in conformity with the Islamic hadith also written by Prophet Muhammed.

RACHAEL'S LAMENTATIONS/BIRTH OF CHRIST: REFLECTION OF KING SOLOMON AND KING JEROBOAM CRISIS by PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

 King David instructed King Solomon to kill all his enemies and the top on the list was Joab who was David’s war commander. Later David died and was full of good old age. Joab ran into the tarbanacle of the Lord and hold on the horn of the alter for safety. In the law of Moses, God instructed that no one should touch whosoever that run into the alter of the Lord for a refuge no matter the level of sin committed so the armies refused to touch him seeing it as an abomination to shed human blood in the holy place.

 So they returned and reported the matter to King Solomon but he ignored and yet sent them to kill him right there in the holy place and they could not disobey the king’s order so they killed him and poured his blood in the holy place. 

In another development, due to the sins of King Solomon, God said he would divide the kingdom into two and give two tribe to him which is Benjamin and Judah and gave the ten tribe to the Jeroboam. King Solomon on hearing this instead of him seeking the face of the Lord for forgiveness as David his father did now sought to kill Jeroboam instead who was of Ephraim of Joseph tribe and Jeroboam was a servant of King Solomon and was very intelligent and bold so all Israel respected him so much.   

Since Solomon wanted to kill him as a result to that prophecy that he would rule over the ten tribes, so he ran to Egypt and remained in the custody of Pharaoh and later returned to Israel on hearing the death of King Solomon.

Now King Solomon returned with all the official titles as the Son of God to be reborn by a virgin. Prophet Jeremiah now prophesy of the tragedy as a re-percussion on what King Solomon is about to face just as he plotted the death of Jeroboam just for the fact that he would rule as a king of the ten tribes. Therefore in the prophecy of Jeremiah, Rachael name was used for the fact that Jeroboam was a descendant of Rachael being the mother of Joseph’s tribe. 

The prophecy of Jeremiah was about the slaughter of new born babies at Ramah. Prophet Jeremiah said, “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and lamentation, Racheal refused to be comforted because her children were none…..(or killed). Ramah was the home town of Prophet Samuel being one of the land occupied by Ephraim tribe of Joseph; therefore the prophecy is to be fulfilled at Ramah. Since every prophecy cannot fulfill exactly but with similarities, one could say the prophecy did not come to pass because Ramah was mentioned as the exact place of the tragedy.

 Did the prophecy came to pass? The answer is yes. Now during the birth of King Solomon in the New Testament now called “ Jesus” born by the Virgin Mary, the three wise men who came from the east saw his star and reported the matter to King Herod just as King Solomon was told of King Jeroboam leadership by the prophet. Then Herod asked from the scribes to find out which town, city or village the Messiah was to be born; and they told him was Ephrata in Bethlehem of Judah so it was prophesied by the prophets. Then the king told the wise men to go and search for the child diligently to come back and report to him so that he too will go and worship the new born king. 

They arrived at the place with the help of the star and found the baby laying in manger and worshipped him but the Lord knowing the danger ahead in time, told the wise men to take another road to their country and never report the matter to king Herod with a threatening word to ensure that they comply.

King Herod waited and found out that the wise men did not return now ordered his soldiers to go to Bethlehem and kill every new born baby; so they went and killed every new born baby they could find but before then the Angel Gabriel told Joseph in a dream to carry the son and his mother and flee to Egypt which they did before the arrival of the soldiers.

Therefore the prophecy of Jeremiah about the tragedy fulfilled but the place of the tragedy changed from Ramah now to Bethlehem of Judea instead.

There in Egypt, the Angel Gabriel told Joseph to take his wife and the son back to Isreal for those that wanted to kill him were dead (including King Herod). Therefore the new born King Solomon was in Egypt until the dead of Herod before he retuned to Isreal just as King Jeroboam of Joseph tribe being Rachael descendant whom he sough to kill flee to Egypt and later retuned to rule the ten tribes of Isreal upon the death of the very King Solomon in the Old Testament which also reoccored as a repercussion on his part and for the fulfillment of Rachael’s lamentation prophecy as re-called by Prophet Jeremiah.

Now there were two sets of people who witnessed the birth of Christ. 

One witness was of the devil and the other was of the Lord. The  wise men were the agents of the devil whom he wanted to use in order to devour the child as soon as he was born which the book of Revelation chapter 12 reflected but she escaped with the child to Egypt for his refuge as the vision of Revelation chapter 12 implied and went and wage war with the rest of her offspring reflecting all the newly born babies at Bethlehem of Judea; although the prophecy still stand for the end-time global event as vision and prophecy fulfills from time to time in a similar forms and not all will fulfill at the same time and at same place exactly.

The bright star from the constellation Aries observed by the wise men and the Great Red Dragon representing the Devil during the birth of Christ and the virgin Mary representing the woman with the child as reflected in the book of Revelation chapter 12 is remarkable. 

The three wise men were sent by the devil with the aid of the star to alert King Herod so that the child would be killed in other to block the salvation of mind- kind but the Lord intervened by sending the child and his mother away who remained in Egypt until the death of Herod.

The other witnesses were the Shepard keeping watch over their flocks by night and the Angel Gabriel appeared and announced to them the good news of the new born king of the house of David. 

He described the exact location of the baby laying in the manger as a sign of identification and being Shepard they knew immediately all the shepherd  folds in Bethlehem and they went straight to the fold and found the baby laid there in a manger and they worshipped him and then retuned quietly to the filed; NO NEWS TO HEROD THE DEVIL AND KILLER. 

King Solomon returned in the New Testament with the very title “SON OF GOD” born by the Virgin Mary and performed several signs and wonders by healing the sick and raising the dead yet the Jews did not believe that he was the Messiah for the fact that the Messiah that would come will be a political leader who is to fight and liberate Israel from the hand of the Roman Government that were suppressing them.

The miracle he performed over the resurrection of Lazarus made the High Priest said that it is safer that they kill Jesus whom most of the Jews are accepting as their Messiah and as their political leader that one day the Roman government will destroy Israel because of him and as at that time the whole world was under the control of the Romans and they cannot withstand their armies. 

While at the same time Jesus himself did not accept to rule over them politically as a new assignment but said that his kingdom is not of this world and preached about the good news of the kingdom of God that is about to take over the whole world during his second coming from above.

Judas being one his Apostles came up with the agenda of selling him to the scribes and Pharisees who were trying to arrest and persecute him and he sold his master to them for thirty pieces of silver with the hope that he can resist his arrest and in the process fight for their liberation as their Messiah.

Now prior to his arrest, Jesus told his Apostles to buy swords and get ready for battle and said that whosoever that has a mantle let him sell and buy sword and they said already we have two swords and he said the two is enough. 

This implies violence as if he was going to shed blood with the help of disciples swords Later in that Night Judas came up with the soldiers, scribes and Pharasis and kissed him and in attempt to arrest him they fell on the ground by the Power from the Messiah for two times but he recalled that it was wrong to resist because he was assigned to die in order to save the world from their sins and if he resisted then how can the scripture be fulfilled; so he surrounded himself to them but Peter being very bold and courageous could not fold his hand and watch his master being taken away; so with the sword already in their possession, he used it and cut off Marcus ear being a servant to a Priest but Jesus healed Marcus and said to Peter”put back your sword for all that carry the sword will perish with the sword’ “If my kingdom is of this world, I have power to demand  from my father to send me twelve regions of angels to fight but if that is the case how can the scripture be fulfilled?” according to another scriptures of the Apostles.

For Jesus instructing his Apostles to carry the sword to fight against his arrest implies that he had carried the sword also when he came as King Solomon although he was the King of peace of the Old Testament but he violated the law and killed others including Joab David commander right at the alter of the Lord. So he also will pay for it now! 

Therefore, when Judas came to realized that his master could not save himself against his arrest returned the money to them which they refused to accept and then went straight into the temple and also poured the price of his blood worth of thirty pieces of silver and went and committed suicide. Thus prophet Isaiah said, he (Jesus ) was reckoned with the sinners although he did no violence yet he will share his grave with the wicked so that with that knowledge he will turn many to righteousness and the Lord as laid on him the iniquity of us all” being the choosen son of God from King David of old.

The Pharasis said that it was an abomination to use such blood money poured in the holy place for the temple use instead use the money and bought a field which they will use in burying strangers just as prophet Jeremiah predicted of the potters field.For details, See 1Kings 2:28-34, Mat. 26:47-59, Luke 22:35-53, 2 Sam. 3:26-39, Gen 30:22-24, 1kings 11:26-40, 12:1-5, Jer. 31:15, Mat. 2:13-23 & Act chapter 1, Micah 5:2 & John chapter 11

RE-INCARNATION: THE SINNERS AND RIGHTEOUS WHO FACE THE JUDGEMENT? by PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

Hebrew chapter 9:27 states "It is appointed onto men once to die and after that the judgment". The big question is, does the righteous too face the judgment? 

Jesus Christ, the chief Judge on the day of judgment says, " Truly, truly I say unto you, he who hear my words and believe him who sent me has eternal life; he does not come into judgment but has passed from death to life" (John 5:22-24).

 Lazarus upon death did not come into judgment but passed from death to life. Angels took his spirit to heaven and rest in the bosom of Abraham. So he was not judged. ( Luke 16:19-31).

Roman chapter 8:1 states that there is therefore now no condemnation unto them that are in Christ Jesus. Those that were slain for the testimony of Jesus are before the alter of God in heaven(Rev. 6:9-11).

 During the second coming of Jesus Christ, known as the rapture, the death in Christ shall rise up first and be caught up together with the living to meet the Lord in the sky (1thes 4:1-end)

Jesus said unto the robber on the cross, " Truly I say unto you today shall thou be with me in paradise". He did not come into judgment but went directly to paradise"( Luke 23:43).

In Revelation chapter 20:1-4, the death in Christ resurrected and sat on thrones to judge and not to be judged.

NOW WHO FACE THE JUDGEMENT?

As required in this world only a law breaker should be arrested by a law enforcement agency; first the law breaker has to be tried in court and if found guilty, will be sentenced to prison or be condemned to death as required by the law. The very procedure is also applicable to all those who died as sinners.

 In the book of Isaiah chapter 24:21-22 it is stated that on the coming day of judgment, some lawbreakers shall be put to prison and later be judged.

In Revelation chapter 20:1-end, those law barkers who did not resurrect during the resurrection of the saints later resurrected and appeared before the great white throne judgment and were judged according the what is written in the books and if anyone's name is not found written in the book of life were cast into the lake of fire which is the second death.

Now in the case of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man being a lawbreaker found himself in the lake of fire as a judgment.

Thefore Hebrew 9:27 should be re-written as, It is appointed unto sinners to die once and after that the judgment" and not to include all men. This will go in line with all the prophecies both in the old and New Testament backing the re-appearance of the biblical prophets as saints who are free from judgment and fulfilling various assignments from one generation to another.

Apart from the prophetic book of Revelation, any scriptures written by the Apostles of the New Testament that is not in line with the Old Testament scriptures including those that are written in the four synoptic gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) should be corrected in subsequent re-prints by the translators of each version as the end-time biblical scroll reveals and correct some of these errors both in the old and the new testament scriptures.

The argument as regards re-incarnation stated in the days of the Apostles as some false preachers and prophets of certain religious organization taught that a sinner must die and re-incarnate several times until he come to perfection as is being argue even in this modern days by those very ancient false religions. That is why Hebrew 9:27 counter that all men die ones and after that the judgment which is quite contrary to the fulfillment of the biblical prophecies in respect of the re-appearance of certain biblical saints who are totally free from judgment whose spirits put on another flesh to perform the same or similar assignment as God's faithful messengers. For example, the two messengers, Elijah and Moses revealed to re-appear in the end-times according to Revelation chapter 11 who were born by women and to be reborn. .

The spirit of Abraham re-appeared in the body of Simeon who was told that he will not see death until he had seen the Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah and of whom the Messiah said to the Jews that, Abraham saw him and was glad ( John 8:56 ). The spirit of Elijah returned in the flesh of John the Baptist; thefore John the Baptist was the Elijah in another flesh as Jesus testified(Luke 1:13-17 and Mat. 11:7-15)

The body of a man dies and return to the earth and becomes dust because from the dust it was formed but the spirit in the man either goes to the place of punishment awaiting trial if he dies as a sinner or to God in paradise if he dies as a saint.

The body of the man is like a container and the spirit is the content. This content can be emptied into any other container; but the quality of the container may not be exactly like the first container but the content is the same like in the first container. 

Certain product we buy in the market could have the same taste but the container could be re-designed differently and even made of higher quality all to attract the buyer.

So is the body of the man containing the spirit. The body bearing the spirit could be made of different races, cultural background, from one generation to another which may confuse you unless you have the spiritual eye to recognize it but the taste is the same as the original. The same spirit could come with a new message for a different assignment as already predicted.

More of these mysteries will be revealed in my articles on the end-time events.

THE GREAT FLOOD: SURVIVALS OF CAINS DESCENDANTS AND FIRST ADAMS by PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

                               

Latter his father Adam gave birth to other sons and daughters and the first was Seth who replaced Abel. Cain genealogy was cut off being the descendants of the Sabbath Adam from the bible although a brief genealogy was included in Genesis  4 to 6 and the descendant of Seth was used and Jesus Christ was a descendant of Seth. 

Since Cain was a descendant of the Sabbath Adam, whom God protected by giving him his mark on his forehead, he did not cut off his descendants forever who later multiplied and filled the new world of Noah after the great flood including the male and female of the first Adams God created before he created the Sabbath Adam but were not included in the genealogy of the Sabbath  Adam after the flood based on the biblical record. So it appears as though only the descendants of Seth which is Noah and his family which consists of eight souls were the only people to multiply and filled the whole earth after the great flood. Moreso, Babylon too has their own history of the flood too similar to that of Noah's record in the bible. 

In-as-much as Babylon is the land of Abraham and on whose site the tower of Babel was built as the world first headquarters, her history of the flood and survival may be similar to Noah that throw some lights on how the Babylonians were saved and how they too populated  their communities being the original land  of Abraham.   American Soldiers handed over UR former home of Abraham to Iraq Government according news report. So UR is still existing in Iraq  the home town of Abraham.

 Moreso, if Noah and his family populated the world, then there was no need to discover America and other parts of the world by the explorers. Trading relationship would have continued among nations and  knowing each other location on earth before Mongo Park, Christopher Columbus and others explorers  arrived to tell us  the exact locations  our brothers were  living in other parts of earth.  More evidently, the spices of birds and other animals different from one region of the world to another. 

So the spices in the Middle East are different from those in other parts of the world. Noah only saved those spices of his immediate community(ies) in the middle east while other spices in other parts of the world were saved too by others that survived  the great flood.  Therefore, the pre-Islamic  religion started right from the time of Adam to the time of Abraham which continued after the flood as so many of them were saved because they obeyed the voice of the angels who had warned them of the destruction of the world who they called "the gods" or "oracles". So they prepared themselves against the disaster by building boats, other raised high trees far above the earth like the Red Indian of America based on their history about the flood of Noah. 

 God instructed Noah to create an Ark and take in male and female both the unclean and the clean(Genesis 7:7-10) Therefore, since God was not interested to destroy all the unclean but saved them male and female so he also saved the descendants of Cain and those of the first Adams whom he uses to re-populate  the new world after the flood and were saved in the other part of the world unknown to Noah and his family. 

Prophet Elijah did not know that God had preserved seven thousand souls in Israel who had not bow to Baal but he taught he was the only righteous man as at then ( 1 Kings 1913-18). Apostle Peter thought that the Jews were the only people to receive the baptism of the holy sprit but was surprised that Colenius and the gentile too receive the Holy Spirit baptism therefore he said, truly, I perceive that God shows not partiality but in every nation and everyone who fears him and does what he likes is acceptable unto him (Acts chapter 10). Moses taught he was the only prophet at his time but was surprised to see Balaam in the land of the Median who was a great prophet and was asked to curse Israel but he blessed them instead.

Similarly  in the end-time, Seth descendants are to  be judged by the saints sitting on thrones, the sinners facing eternal punishment in the lake of fire while the righteous ones were rejoicing in the kingdom of God for 1000 years forming the camp of the saints, yet there were another set of people known as Gog and Magog nations who were not affected by the judgment of the saints of Seth although they were being ruled by the government of the saints with  a rod of iron  to whom the devil later went and deceive in order to resist the laws of the saints as soon as he was released from the prison who  ganged up with him and their number is as the sand of the sea shore living in the four corners of the earth. They came and encamped the saints but fire from heaven consumed them according to the book or Revelation chapter 20.

Then in that battle Satan was captured and was throne into the lake of fire burring with brimstone where the false prophet and the antichrist were  thrown( Rev. 20:1-end).

Therefore the battle of Gog and Magog is the battle between the descendants of Cain the evil seed and the first Adams and the descendants of Seth of the righteous seed just as it was from the beginning. So in the same manner the Lord will  reserved the descendants of Cain and the first Adams for the end-time battle against the saints just as he killed his brother Abel. 

Therefore Jesus said, the blood of Abel will be demanded in this generation and said the  Devil (referring to Cain) was a murderer from the beginning. Therefore, the Devil  represents Cain who shall be empowered to fight the Saints of Seth in the end-times known as the battle of Gog and Magog before his final destruction.  They now represent the first Adams that lived outside the Garden of Eden to who Cain went and associated with as it was written in book of Genesis.  The same event will repeat in the end-time as recorded in the book of Genesis. Therefore Jesus said to Apostle John that the book of Revelation is about things of the past, present and future, 

Now as the vision of Gog and Magog was shown to me from the scroll, I began to carry out my research and got in touch with some encyclopedias including Halley bible commentary which also stated that, certain families of the earth were saved during the great flood and each nations or tribes of those family has their own version of the flood history similar to the one written by Moses in the book of Genesis. 

For example the Chinese also has their version of the flood which sated that a certain man who was informed by the gods before  the flood, took his family in a boat to a distant land for safety. The Red Indians of American has their own version of the flood.  The Babylonians also have their own record of the flood in a similar manner from which their ancestors were saved from the great flood and many more. Check through the encyclopedia and bible commentaries for more details.

 However those nations who shall wage war against the camps of the saints will face the White Throne Judgment and shall be thrown into the lake of fire before the new heaven and the new earth will be created in which there will be nothing unclean and the new Jerusalem shall descend from heaven and land in Israel, the very location of the Garden of Eden as it was in the days of old.
