| Icon of King David |
The Second image from the left is a
Russian Icon of King David, one the nation of Israel's most famous Monarchs.
King David, as his name implied, was the Lord's 'Beloved', a king whose
character and personality was what the LORD wanted in a king.
I Samuel 13:14 But now thy kingdom
shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the
LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not
kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
Acts 13:22 And when he had removed
him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony,
and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart,
which shall fulfil all my will.
It was during King David's time that nation of
Israel began major extensive expansion, and colonization across the world. King
David's lineage began the Dynastic establishment of the Davidic families of the
Tribe of Judah as the most royal of the aristocratic families among all the
royal families of the nation of Israel, with these royals being the most aristocratic
families of the earth.
I King 7:16 And thine house and thy
kingdom shall be establish forever before thee: thy throne shall be established
forever.
John 7:42 Hath not the scripture said,
That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem,
where David was?

| Yahawashi Hamashiyach known as Jesus Christ |
Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation
of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Matthew
1:17 So all the generations from
Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying
away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into
Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Jesus Christ is Greek for Joshua
Anointed, or King Joshua. In a form of Classical Hebrew, or the Lashawan
Qadash, the ‘Holy Tongue’, it’s pronounced Yahawashi Hamashiyach. King
Yahawashi of Israel, the Messiah, Son of the Most High LORD YAHAWAH, was born
on this earth paternally through Joseph of the Tribe of Judah, of the lineage
of the family of David, and maternally through Mary of the Tribe of Levi, of
the lineage of Aaron. The LORD told King David, who also was a prophet, that
the Christ, the Messiah would come to earth through his family line. There is
much division in the nation of Israel as a result of the curses of the LORD for
Israel’s sin against him, but to correct a misunderstanding, I say that a man’s
familial identity is according to his paternal linage.
Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet,
and knowing that the LORD had sworn an oath to him, that of the fruit of his
loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne.
Acts 13:22 And when he had removed
him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony,
and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart,
which shall fulfil all my will.
Acts 13:23 Of this man’s seed hath God
according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
The word Christ is from the Greek word
Christos meaning the anointed, this is in relation to the Old Testament
prophecy of the future Messiah, and King that would gather Israel, and
establish the kingdom of Heaven, or Israel on earth. It was a cultural
tradition that individuals who were chosen to be king were anointed with oil.
 |
| Samuel Anointing David as King |
I Samuel 10:1
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him,
and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his
inheritance?
All former, and current nations had,
and still have royal families, Israel is no different. The descendants of the
noble families of all the biblical nations are scattered, and mingled with the
common people, and with other nations, as a result of the revolutions, social
upheavals and wars in the world. The noble families of Israel are scattered,
and the descendents of these families still walk this earth today, mingled
among the common people, and the nations, and as the scriptures say 'they are
not known in the streets'.
Lamentations 4:8 Their visage is
blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets.
The aristocratic families and nobles
of Israel are not recognized as such in the streets of the cities of the world.
The current noble families of the prevailing world order are recognized in
publications, and magazines. Even celebrities are acknowledged the world over,
but who recognizes the members of the noble houses of Israel, the kings, and
princes, of the earth. People don’t even know they are among the so-called Black of African Americans, so-called White Americans, Afro and Indo-Caribbeans, the Indo-Americans
of North Central, and South America, and the world over. Instead the present
Dutch-Anglo-American aristocratic families, receive the world’s adoration, who
although their progenitors were people of color, they are primarily mingled
with families like the Western German Askenazi family of the Rothschilds, of
whom it is said, consider themselves descendants of Edom.

In the early modern era, many
aristocrats of Israelite descent, suffered financial straits and intermarried
with the court Jews, who were primarily Western German and Eastern German
Askenazi Jews, not Sephardic, or Port Jews. The port Jews were descendants of
Israel dispersed in trading colonies, and port cities who were descendants of
Israel of non-Ashkenazi descent that intermarried with the local ethnic groups,
who usually formed their own ethnic enclaves, separated from the local populace,
such as the Kerala Jews, and the Crypto-Christians of Nagasaki Japan.

The time will come when all the
aristocratic men of Israel will be raised up, and gathered together to rule,
and govern, and judge not just the nation of Israel, but all the nations on the
earth.
Ezekiel 37:9 Then said he unto me,
Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain,
that they may live.
Ezekiel 37:10 So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their
feet, an exceeding great army.
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me,
Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel
The people of Israel are a multi-complexioned
people. The Lord calls Israel a speckled bird.
Jeremiah 12:9 Mine heritage is unto me
as a speckled bird.
The word ‘Black’ can be used as an adjective,
but is not an ethnicity. The social racial constructs of the Anglo-American
world had no place in the past, and they will have no place in the future. A painting
of Elisabeth I and her court at Tilsbury, nicely illustrates the physiognomy of
the aristocracy of Europe, who are descendants of Israel.

Malachi 3:12 And all nations shall
call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
During Joshua’s reign Israel embarked
on massive territorial expansion, as the LORD, passed the Land of Canaan into
Israel’s hands.
Joshua 11:15 As the LORD commanded
Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did
Joshua; he left
nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:16 So Joshua took all that land, the
hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley,
and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
Joshua conquered an eastern portion of
Lower Eygpt, the land of Goshen, were Israel lived when they dwelt in Egypt.
Joshua 11:17 Even from the mount
Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under
mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
Joshua 11:18 Joshua made war a long
time with all those kings.
Joshua 11:19 There was not a city that
made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of :
all other they took in battle.
The Hivites were a tribe, or group of
Canaanites, in present day so-called South Africans, and Zulu.
Joshua 11:20 For it was of the LORD to
harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he
might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he
might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
When Joshua died, Israel’s territorial
expansion ceased.
Josuha 13:1 Now Joshua was old and stricken
in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and
there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
Joshua 23:1 AND it came to pass a long
time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies
round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
23:2 And Joshua called for all Israel, and for
their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their
officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:
23:3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your
God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is
he that hath fought for you.
23:4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot
these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with
all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
23:5 And the LORD your God, he shall expel
them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess
their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.
23:6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep
and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not
aside there from to the right hand or to the left;
23:7 That ye come not among these nations,
these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods,
nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
23:8 But cleave unto the LORD
your God, as ye have done unto this day.
23:9 For the LORD hath driven out
from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able
to stand before you unto this day.
23:10 One man of you shall chase a
thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath
promised you.
23:11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD
your God.
23:12 Else if ye do in any wise go
back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain
among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to
you:
23:13 Know for a certainty that the
LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but
they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns
in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God
hath given you.
23:14 And, behold, this day I am
going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your
souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD
your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing
hath failed thereof.
23:15 Therefore it shall come to
pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God
promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have
destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
23:16 When ye have transgressed the
covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served
other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be
kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which
he hath given unto you.
Joshua 24:1 And Joshua gathered all the
tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their
heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented
themselves before YAHAWAH.
24:2 And Joshua said unto all
the people, Thus saith the LORD Power of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the
other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the
father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
Your fathers dwelt on the other side
of the flood means they continued the same Astrotheology, and sinful practices
that man did before the flood, or ante-diluvium world.
Joshua 24:3 And I took your father Abraham
from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of
Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

Josephus Antiquities of the Jews
Chapter VII concerning Abram whose name was changed to Abraham.
“He was a person of great sagacity, both for
understanding all things and persuading his hearers, and not mistaken in his
opinions; for which reason he began to have higher notions of virtue than
others had, and he determined to renew and to change the opinion all men
happened then to have concerning God; for he was the first that ventured to
publish this notion, That there was but one God, the Creator of the universe;
and that, as to other [gods], if they contributed anything to the happiness of
men, that each of them afforded it only according to his appointment, and not
by their own power. This his opinion was derived from the irregular phenomena
that were visible both at land and sea, as
well as those that happen to the sun, and
moon, and all the heavenly bodies, thus: — "If [said he] these bodies had
power of their own, they would certainly take care of their own regular
motions; but since they do not preserve such regularity, they make it plain,
that in so far as they co-operate to our advantage, they do it not of their own
abilities, but as they are subservient to Him that commands them, to whom alone
we ought justly to offer our honor and thanksgiving." For which doctrines,
when the Chaldeans, and other people of Mesopotamia, raised a tumult against
him, he thought fit to leave that country; and at the command and by the
assistance of God, he came and lived in the land of Canaan. And when he was
there settled, he built an altar, and performed a sacrifice to God.
Berosus mentions our father Abram without
naming him, when he says thus: "In the
tenth generation after the Flood, there was among the Chaldeans a man righteous
and great, and skillful in the celestial science." But Hecatseus does more
than barely mention him; for he composed, and left behind him, a book
concerning him. And Nicolaus of Damascus, in the fourth book of his History,
says thus: "Abram reigned at Damascus, being a foreigner, who came with an
army out of the land above Babylon, called the land of the Chaldeans: but,
after a long time, he got him up, and removed from that country also, with his
people, and went into the land then called the land of Canaan, but now the land
of Judea, and this when his posterity were become a multitude; as to which
posterity of his, we relate their
history in another work. Now the name of Abram is even still famous in the
country of Damascus; and there is shown a village named from him, The Habitation of Abram."

Joshua 24:4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob
and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it;
 |
| Mt. Seir the Land of Edom |
Joshua 24:4 but Jacob and his children
went down into Egypt.
Joshua 24:14 Now therefore fear the
LORD , and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which
your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye
the LORD.
Put away the gods which your fathers
served on the other side of the flood means the common system worship of the
antediluvian world after the fall of the world’s first monarchy, which was
Astrotheology, which is rooted in Humanism, man’s worship of himself. This is
the same Humanism and Astrotheological worship and belief system that all the
nations from Sumer to ancient Babylon, up until today, and all the countries of
the present world.
Judges 2:6 And when Joshua had let the
people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to
possess the land.
 |
| The Land of Israel |
2:8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the
servant of the LORD , died, being an hundred and ten years old.
2:9 And they buried him in the
border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the
north side of the hill Gaash.
2:10 And also all that generation
were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after
them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
2:11 And the children of Israel
did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
2:12 And they forsook the LORD
God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed
other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed
themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
2:13 And they forsook the LORD,
and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
Joshua 3:1 Now these are the nations
which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not
known all the wars of Canaan;
A generation is reckoned as forty (40)
years. Each generation of Israel must prove itself in the face of adversity,
whether they will be loyal to the LORD, or not. Complacency can be a stumbling
block to righteousness.
Joshua 3:2 Only that the generations of
the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as
before knew nothing thereof;
Each succeeding generation being
unaware and unexperienced must face the social, political, economical, and spiritual
adversities of the times to prove itself, as continuing in the pattern, and
model of servants of the LORD. It was such in the past and it is such today.
Joshua 3:3 Namely, five lords of the
Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that
dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
3:4 And they were to prove Israel
by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which
he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
3:5 And the children of Israel
dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and
Hivites, and Jebusites:
3:6 And they took their daughters
to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their
gods.
3:7 And the children of Israel did evil in the
sight of the LORD , and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the
groves.
The children of Israel disobeyed the
LORD, and became comprised, they stop living in accordance with the way of the
LORD, the way of Heaven on earth, and followed the customs of the merchants.
Canaan means merchant. They became hedonist, and sought the pursuit of gain, and
practiced Astrotheology, because it’s a belief system that justifies, such a
lifestyle. They followed a belief which is lacking in the knowledge of the
LORD. Not knowing the LORD, one mistakenly believes that the LORD is
unknowable, from this stems all forms of strange worship. This leads into
thinking that the physical Universe is a manifestation of the LORD, and then
that all of creation is a Manifestation of the LORD. This is the belief of the
other side of the flood.
From this line of thinking all behavior, and all actions
are justifiable.
Before King Saul unified Israel,
Israel was a tribal confederation, fragmented into warring city-states. The
establishment of Israel never completed their territorial expansion, because
their lavish lifestyle and their perennial conflicts amongst each other, with
the neighboring nations nearby became a snare to them. They weren’t able to
grow, or expand because they followed a misanthropic lifestyle. Wicked
lifestyles are anti-physics. All Astrotheological systems degenerate the
practitioners of them.
King Saul began the process of uniting the separate warring city-states of Israel into a Kingdom, or into Metropolitan Israel. Metropolitan is a from the Greek term meaning metropolis (from meter meaning “mother”, and polis meaning “city, town”) or motherland from which originated colonies across the Mediterranean. This was similar to the Unification of China under the Qin Dynasty in the late 3rd century, or the Kingdom of France in the 10th century, or the Unification of Germany in the late 10th century, and the Unification of England in the 10th century. The process of the unification and expansion of the Kingdom of Israel was continued during the reign of King David. King David established the capital of Metropolitan Israel at Jerusalem, expanded, and solidified territorial gains. King David was inspired to design the Temple of the LORD, and King Solomon his son built it.
2 Samuel 7:1 And it came to pass, when
the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all
his enemies;
7:2 That the king said unto
Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth
within curtains.
7:3 And Nathan said to the
king, Go, do all that [is] in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
7:4 And it came to pass that
night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
7:5 Go and tell my servant
David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
7:6 Whereas I have not dwelt
in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of
Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7:7 In all the places wherein
I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the
tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build
ye not me an house of cedar?
7:8 Now therefore so shalt
thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from
the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over
Israel:
7:9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all
thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the
name of the great men that are in the earth.
7:10 Moreover I will appoint a
place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place
of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness
afflict them any more, as beforetime,
This scripture prophesy is of the future
life Israel, when the establishment is reestablished in the earthly kingdom of
heaven on earth. The descendants of Israel will no longer be afflicted by the
children of wickedness, as they are as they live under the governments of the
world today, and they will no longer be in exile, or in slavery.
2 Samuel 7:11 And as since the time
that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to
rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an
house.
7:12 And when thy days be
fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after
thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
7:13 He shall build an
house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
7:14 I will be his father, and
he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of
men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
7:15 But my mercy shall not depart
away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
7:16 And thine house and thy
kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be
established for ever.
7:17 According to all these
words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Nathan was a court prophet.
Jerusalem and the First Holy Temple on
Mount Zion, was at the center of Israel’s political, economic, social,
spiritual life, before it’s destruction in 587 B.C. after the Siege of
Jerusalem. It was also during King David reign that Israel’s nation-building
growth as a mercantile maritime empire proceeded forthwith. This maritime
mercantile empire building reached a nadir during King Solomon’s reign.
Archeological evidence shows that Solomon’s mercantile trading network extended
to the Americas, and East Asia.
 |
| Israel/Phoenicians Maritime Trade Empire |
During the kingdom of King David and
Solomon the nation of Israel became a maritime Empire, and under-took wide and
far reaching colonial, economic and global expansion.
“Phoenicia in the widest sense was the name
given by the Greeks to the coasts of what is now Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. In
a narrower sense it was interpreted as the coast from about Dor in the south,
northwards to about present-day Tripoli (an area referred to as Metropolitan
Phoenicia in this chapter). It consisted of a chain of towns situated in a
narrow coastal strip of land seldom more than 3km in width backed by the
Lebanon Mountains and the Carmel range. Of these Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos, all
flourishing towns in the Late Bronze Age, remained important throughout most of
first millennium B.C; they were the Phoenician towns best known to ancient
writers and have provided the bulk of Phoenician inscriptions of any historical
importance”’ - The Cambridge Ancient History Volume 3 Chapter 32
Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos were no small
towns, but were more akin to city-states, like Venice, or Genoa, in importance,
influence, trade, and wealth. They were maritime city-states. Tyre is also the
birthplace of Europa, whom the continent of Europe obtained its name, and Dido,
the first queen of Carthage. The LORD gives a very descriptive visual of the
world (as it was known then) city-states of the ancient world. Globalism has its
roots in the ancient world, a time and place where markets were always
expanding, mercantilism and commoditization ruled the day, merchants set the
pace, and controlled life, by controlling the markets.
Like the world cities of this present
time in history, such as New York, London, Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, etc.

Ezekiel
27:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
27:2 Now, thou son of man, take up
a lamentation for Tyrus;
27:3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou
that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people
for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of
perfect beauty.
27:4 Thy borders are in the midst
of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
Like
Venice and Genoa these early city-states sphere of Influence extended into the
middle of the seas.
Ezekiel 27:5 They have made all thy ship
boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts
for thee.
27:6 Of the oaks of Bashan have they
made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory,
brought out of the isles of Chittim.
27:7 Fine linen with broidered work
from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple
from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
All the
nations, and countries of the ancient world were a part of world trade, just
like today.
Ezekiel 27:8 The inhabitants of Zidon and
Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy
pilots.
Israelites
were avid sailors, and captains.
27:10 They of Persia and of Lud and
of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet
in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
The
Elamites (Persians; East Indians), Libyans (Phut; North Africans), and the
Lydians (Shemitic descendants of Lud; Anatolians) were all mercenaries in the
merchant security forces. Seems the world has always been cosmopolitan, and
people have always worked and traded together.

| The Venetian Maritime Empire of the 13-15th Century |
Just like
Venice and Genoa these ancient city-state were the replete with mercenary
armies.
Ezekiel 27:12 Tarshish was thy merchant by reason
of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver,
iron, tin,
and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
Tarshish
is Spain.
The
descendants of Japheth, the Etrusacans, nowadays called the people of East
Asia, and Pacific Islanders, were also merchants at Tyre. They were dominant in
trade during the so-called Bronze Age, so the vessels of brass, is indicative
of their trading activities.
27:15 The men of Dedan were thy
merchants; many isles [were] the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee
for a present horns of ivory and ebony.
27:16 Syria was thy merchant by
reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs
with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and
agate.
27:17 Judah, and the land of
Israel, they [were] thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith,
and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
27:18 Damascus was thy merchant in
the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in
the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
27:19 Dan also and Javan going to
and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy
market.
The tribe
of Dan was a maritime people, always at sea, along with the inhabitants of the
lands of Greece.
Ezekiel 27:20 Dedan was thy merchant in precious
clothes for chariots.
27:21 Arabia, and all the princes
of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were
they thy merchants.
The
descendants, the aristocracy, and princes of Ishmael, the Arabs, also profited
from trade at Tyre
27:23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden,
the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.
The
Assyrians, before the Assyrian Empire were merchants at Tyre.
Ezekiel 27:24 These were thy merchants in
all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich
apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
27:25 The ships of Tarshish did
sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious
in the midst of the seas.
27:26 Thy rowers have brought thee
into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
27:27 Thy riches, and thy fairs,
thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers
of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that arein thee, and in all thy
company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in
the day of thy ruin.
The LORD destroyed Tyre and Zidon, for
their sin against him, but trade still moved on, and trading markets moved on. Tyre and Zidon were
early world city-states, not unlike the global cities of today, which are
strong in influence strong in power, and strong in wealth. Riches won’t save
the world cities, neither the global trading system when the LORD brings it to
an end, any more than it helped to save Tyre and Zidon.
Israel’s society was similar to
manoralism, and feudalism. The land was held by landowners, who were also the
aristocratic military stratum. It was household based, inheritance based, class
based, social-political system. The governing power resided in the
establishment, which was a military, legislative, oligarchy. The
establishment’s sphere included the country’s military officers, judges,
aristocrats, priests, landowners, captains of trade, and industry. Israel’s establishment was a dominant
group of elites that held power and authority of the nation. The scriptures
call the members of the establishment ‘the princes of the land’.
Psalm 45:13 The king’s daughter is all
glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
Israel was the wealthiest nation
on the earth during King David and King Solomon’s reign. The aristocrats wore
clothes made out of woven gold. There are scenes in the Chinese film “Curse of
the Gloden Flower” based on the Chinese feudal period which I think slightly
capture this opulence, of palace living.

Psalm 45:14 She shall be brought unto
the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall
be brought unto thee.
Psalm 45:15 With gladness and
rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall
be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
Israel’s establishment and aristocracy
was inheritance based. This scripture is a prophesy about the future when the
elect of Israel are re-established by the LORD, and his son Yahawashi, their
children will be made princes in the new establishment.
Psalm 113:1 Praise ye the LORD.
Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
113:2 Blessed be the name of the
LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
113:3 From the rising of the sun
unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.
113:4 The LORD is high above all
nations, and his glory above the heavens.
The nations are subject to the LORD,
and were made to serve him, and he created the heavens, the heavens are not a
physical manifestation of him, they are his creature.
Psalm 113:5 Who is like unto the LORD
our God, who dwelleth on high,
The LORD of Israel is the LORD YAHAWAH of all
creation.
Psalm 113:6 Who humbleth himself to
behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
Both the heavens and the earth are
beneath the LORD and can’t be equated to him, all dimensions, and created
realities are lower than him, and can’t be equated to his power.
Psalm 113:7 He raiseth up the poor out
of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
Israel and the elect of Israel are the
poor that will be raised out of the confusion of the world, into the truth of
the world. A dunghill is a pile of s***. The world is a dunghill, of lies,
corruption, sin, and death. We are the needy in all ways, being brought low by
the LORD for our sins against his laws. We now find ourselves in the hands of
those that hate us, and seek to destroy us from the earth, but the LORD will
raise us up from these conditions, and deliver us.
Psalm 113:8 That he may set him with
princes, even with the princes of his people.
Though the Lord has stripped Israel of everything, he will restore the royalty of Israel to their place, and give them back their inheritance.
Joshua 22:14 And with him ten princes,
of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one
was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
In the royal houses of Israel, there
was a chief prince, among princes.
Jeremiah 34:19 The princes of Judah,
and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people
of the land.
Feudal palace living, shared
much in common with the social system of ancient Israel.

Ever since the Assyrian and Babylonian
enslavement, and exile, Israel’s government establishment has never recovered from the
destruction of the First Temple. Israel’s establishment is scattered
but the LORD will gather them under his son, their brother, and King Yahawashi
Hamashiyach, and restore their glory in righteousness (in order with the Laws of Moses, the Laws of Heaven on Earth)
Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we
are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
8:13 For if ye live after the flesh,
ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye
shall live.
8:14 For as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Divine providence, and the Holy Spirit is what separates the sons of the Lord from other men.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received
the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
8:16 The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
8:17 And if children, then
heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with
him, that we may be also glorified together.
8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall
be revealed in us.
Hebrew 8:8 For finding fault with
them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
8:9 Not according to the
covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my
covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
8:10 For this is the covenant that
I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will
put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to
them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
8:11 And they shall not teach
every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for
all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
8:12 For I will be merciful to
their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no
more.
Acts 15:16 After this I will return,
and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build
again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
After this I will return meaning after
the period of rejection, the curses and the exile of the establishment of Israe,l
the LORD will return to Israel and begin to rebuild the establishment of Israel
and the Dynasty of David. This began with the first advent of Yahawashi
Hamashiyach, and continues into this present day, until the time of the
Gentiles be fulfilled, till the day of the LORD. While the wicked are in political,
social, economic, and spiritual governance of the earth,
Job 9:24 The earth is given into the
hand of the wicked.
The Lord is spiritually maturing his
sons through the baptism of fire, and the furnace of affliction. When the
harvest is ripe, the time is fulfilled, and the ruins, the fallen estate of the
aristocratic elect, including King David, will be completely reversed, ending
in their reestablishment as the royalty of Israel and the world.
Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might
seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith
the Lord, who doeth all these things.
This is so the people of the earth may
know who the Lord Yahawah is, and may serve and worship him. The gentiles who
have the Lord’s name are the Israelites who having once forgotten the Lord and
became foreigners, and strangers to him, will recall who they are, being
descendants of Israel, and become a Holy people once again. The nations will
then seek after Israel to speak to the Lord for them, that they may know how to
serve, and observe, and worship the Lord.
