If you have been a faithful reader and student of Bet Emet Ministries for any length of time you have come to see for yourself the facts concerning the falsification and purposeful alteration and mistranslation of the Hebrew Scriptures by the apostate and Hellenized Essenes of Alexandria, Egypt, in the Second Century B.C.E. Such forgery and falsification of the Hebrew Scriptures was done in order that the Essenes' concept of their Astro-Theological "Angel-Messiah" be written in among the various Hebrew Texts when these Essenes translated the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. To make matters worse it would be these Essenes which would instruct and train the majority of the Greek Church Fathers in Alexandria, Egypt, and these purposeful mistranslations and misquotations and multiple verses taken out of context on purpose became the foundation for the later English texts which would become the Christian's Old and New Testaments. That being said the result of such forgery to promote one' own religious agenda means that much of what we read in our Christian Old Testaments and New Testaments are outright lies and misrepresentations done on purpose in order to replace the human Messiah of the Jewish people with a Solar Godman that finds it's origin in the personification of forces found in the Heavens and Nature. This is but different manifestations of Sun worship and we find this since the beginning of time. What we should not find however are such concepts cleverly intermingled within the Hebrew Scriptures and then later applied to Jesus as we find in our New Testaments which quote these forged texts. This however is not known by 95% of Christianity today because their leaders simply have never studied these texts for themselves and accept without question the religious texts handed down to us by Rome which carry such forgeries.
More to the point in this replacement of the human Messiah of Judaism with the Astro/Solar-Messiah of the Essenes it was necessary to alter the prophecies concerning the Jewish Messiah in order to present this Essene Messiah to the Gentile world. If one were to know the true Messianic prophecies as written in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the wake of Jesus' death know that they remained unfulfilled as all the Jews and Israel did then it would be very hard to convince anyone that Jesus was the Messiah; unless of course they did not have access to the Hebrew Scriptures and could not read Hebrew. Well this is exactly the conditions that prevailed in the Gentile speaking world to which the Gentile Church would spread it's own unique understanding of the Jewish Messiah as taken from these forged texts. To accomplish this the Messianic prophecies found in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings were purposefully altered, distorted, twisted, misquoted, mistranslated, and lifted and taken out of context in order to create supposedly "fulfilled" prophecies which in reality were anything but that at all. The writers of the New Testament often resorted to phrases like "thus being fulfilled" and other catch phrases that set the reader up to falsely believe what he was reading was an actual fulfillment of something written by holy men of old in the Old Testament when in fact close examination of the Hebrew texts revealed otherwise. This is something the Jews and their scholars have known over 2000 years and it us we Christians and followers of Jesus who are not privileged to this information.
I can remember my shock the first time I found in reading a Hebrew book one day that the author pointed out that the many prophecies in the Gospels and Epistles of the New Testament are really not "fulfilled" prophecies after all in spite of what the New Testament writers said. At first I could not believe it; surely he was mistaken for at that time in my life I vaguely remembered that I had thought I had read something about them in the Old Testament before. After all I was in Seminary and how could I be wrong? After being challenged in this way the first thing I did was to look at my center reference in my study Bible and began to look for an Old Testament Scriptural reference which would surely prove this challenging author wrong and my Christian religious belief system correct. My Old Testament references compared quite well to the New Testament quotes. Then I quickly realized that I had to have a copy of the Hebrew Scriptures if I was to make a line by line and precept by precept comparison in order to substantiate that such a charge made by the author had any validity so I bought a JPS Tanakh and a Stone Edition Tanakh so I could make such comparisons for myself. If all we do is compare forged Christian Old Testament texts to the again copies of such forgeries in the New Testament we learn nothing. We have to use the Bible Jesus used and that means you have to purchase a Hebrew/English Old Testament which I quickly did and I was shaken to the core by what I found. This "challenging" author was right and my Christian Old Testament read differently in hundreds of places. I always though I had a faithful translation of the Hebrew texts; now I realized I as a Christian did not. It was time for more serious study.
After months of scrupulous comparisons of key "Messianic passages" I came to the stark realization that my Christian Bible is a fraudulent translation of the Jewish Hebrew Scriptures…the Jewish Masoretic Text does not read the way my Christian Bible translates them. Something is tragically wrong with my Christian Bible for a translation is one thing but a fictional creationism another! That means that the true Messianic prophecies in the Hebrew Bible were twisted and misquoted, and mistranslated on purpose when we as Christians get them in our Christian Bibles. If you read these passages in the Hebrew/English Jewish Bibles, either the JPS or the Stone Edition, and then compare them in the Greek translation of them and the English Old Testament versions taken from these Greek passages then you are horrified at what you see. There is a theological agenda at work here and many years of in-depth study has shown me that the culprit is the Hellenized Essenes of Alexandria, Egypt, who wrote their Solar/Godman into the texts when they gave the world the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. What is equally tragic is the fact that the New Testament quotes come from our Christian Old Testaments and the Greek translations which are purposefully mistranslated and misquoted as well. Understand as well that Rome would later pick up where these Essenes left off an only add to the corruption of the Hebrew texts. This means that what we are reading in the New and Old Testaments is NOT A FAITHFUL REPRESENTATION OR TRANSLATION OF THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES JESUS USED.
Such corruptions of the Hebrew Scriptures were accomplished in many different way:
Of course such a charge is almost unbelievable if not ludicrous to the typical Christian who has been told his whole life like myself that our Christian Bibles are infallible, inerrant, and inspired. I can remember my shock, my devastation, and my anger over the months when I saw passage after passage altered. The horror of the tragic fact hit me between the eyes: I did not have the Bible Jesus used and believed in all his life...I had a counterfeit! Understand few men let alone Pastors undertake such exhaustive study as I and many others have and therefore they don’t know the Bibles they preach from is altered in hundreds of places. Therefore they believe and spread lies about Jesus which simply are not true. Many such religious beliefs render us idolators and blasphemers. I have today been able to master from the Hebrew and Jewish Masoretic Texts the problem passages which confront us in the Christian Bible. Most of these problem passages are Messianic in perspective but many are simply not yet made to look as if they are Messianic when in fact they are not.
Let me say up front that even though I can and will share with you how the Torah, Prophets, and Writings have been literally butchered over the centuries by various Bible translations, and even thought many of these when viewed from the Jewish text, turn out to be non-Messianic prophecies, I still hold a faith and belief that when Messiah comes it will most likely be Yeshua but time will tell in this matter. But I refuse to "take away or add to the Word of God" in order to have "beliefs" about Yeshua. I want the truth and only the truth about this man. Falsification of Christian Bibles in order to create "fulfillments" about Yeshua does neither God nor me any good and surely tarnished the legacy and memory of Jesus. Jesus is not honored that we believe and spread lies in his name.
And if you read all of the Christian scriptures that are either Messianic or supposedly "fulfilled prophecies" and compare them with the Hebrew Scriptures and their contexts, then you will see for yourself that we have been deceived by those who gave us a counterfeit Bible. Now this will be hard for you to believe until you study it out like I did but nearly every "prophecy" quoted in the book of Matthew is non-Messianic! Some of them are even made up. Many are "quotes" of non-existing Jewish Scriptures. And the one or two prophecies that are Messianic have been butchered up or taken out or context by the authors of the Christian bible. This was necessary so that Jesus could "fulfill" them so he could be passed off as the Messiah to the Gentile world in order to bring unity to the Roman state and religion. Karl Marx said "Religion is the opiate of the masses" and since Judaism was a world religion in that day and a threat to Rome we find that Rome cleverly remade the Jewish Messiah into a Sun-g-dman like their other sun-g-ds and sung-dmen in order to bring a unity to their empire to fight their many boarder wars thereby assuring that all peoples of the Roman state could come together and find unity in both politics and religion. The unsuspecting Gentiles would never know the difference since they could not read Hebrew or had access to the Hebrew Scriptures; it is a different story with the Jews who were familiar with the Jewish Palestinian Text for they knew of the terrible corruption of their Sacred Texts in the Greek Septuagint and refused to use it.
The unprepared and uninformed Christian, not knowing any different, is led astray every time when he reads his corrupted and fraudulent Christian Bibles and only rehearses and memorized lies and error. And the other side of this coin is that when you provide the refuting evidence for one "prophecy", most will discount it as "impossible" and fewer still will take the challenge and procure a Jewish Tanakh (Jewish Masoretic Text) and compare the wordings between the Jewish Texts and their Christian Bible to see who’s correct and who’s in error. I as a Pastor was challenged to my very core in my studies and had to do this exact thing and study these things out to make sure I was not deceived. I sadly found out that I had been deceived and had been teaching error about Jesus most of my life. The results of my study brought me to my knees and eventually led to my resignation from a very successful pastorate as I realized that I was misrepresenting God and Jesus and my calling to serve God was to be in Spirit and in Truth and the truth was not in my Christian Bible in many places. Understand that there is much good in the Christian Bible but like eating fish there is "bones" and "meat" and it takes much study to be able to separate the meat from the bone...truth from error.
One last thing. My purpose it to honor the name and memory of Yeshua by teaching the truth about him and not misrepresenting him to others for gain. The truth hurts only because we have previously been taught lies to which we attach our emotions. Understand that if what we consider "truth" can be shown to be a "lie" then God never gave it to you in the first place and He surely does not wish that you remain in darkness and deception any longer. It is time to repent of the idolatry and blasphemy which comes with such false teachings and false prophecies which we have accepted "by faith" without critical examination on our parts to see if these things "be so." It is with a spirit of humility and repentance that we recover the truth concerning Jesus/Yeshua as we look critically into the prophecies concerning the Messiah that are supposedly fulfilled by Yeshua/Jesus in the New Testament. This without a doubt is hard stuff and I recommend that such study be taken with much prayer as you see the things that await your study in this area. Shalom and blessings from Craig Lyons M.Div.
