Recent Teachings by Dr. Pidgeon

From the time the ancient Yashar'eliym muttered against Yahuah Elohiym, having traveled across the wilderness to find the land of milk and honey, only to discover the land occupied by giants - nephiliym and the sons of Anaq, and losing all faith in the one who had parted the sea for them; to the modern age, one day has risen to predominance - the day when Yahuah elected to smite Yashar'el because of their muttering. As the people muttered, "It would have been better for us to die in the wilderness," Yahuah heard their voices and promised that as they had said, so he would deliver.

This day has forever foretold of yet another day of destruction.. Let us come to know what this day is all about, its history and now its present day application, for the date is rising squarely before us now, in this time of trouble throughout the world. What do we know, and when can we know it? Join us for this lively presentation concerning a date we call the ninth of Av - or in the Ivriyt: Tisha B'Av.

There is much to discuss when raising the issue of the house of Yashar’el. Prophecy was given by Ya’aqov; designation was given by Mosheh; stones were selected and placed for the priest. And importantly, standards were raised over their houses.

What were these standards? What do they reveal? Is there a hidden voice of prophecy even in these?

In the emergence of the faith, people find themselves in the company of others with whom they find great discomfort. The Greeks loved the scriptures, but found great discomfort in their associations with those Jews who were keeping the Shabbath. Far better to dissociate with them and put a distance between the Greek and Jew by moving the very heart of the faith from the seventh day to the first day. Such a move would prevent “Judaizing.”

A similar disposition emerged when Martin Luther began to move away from Roman Catholicism. In addition to his militant antisemitism, Luther took an opposition to the doctrines which the Catholic Church had harvested from the books they called the Deuterocanon. The founding of western civilization in North America began with those influenced by the doctrines of these rogue Scotsmen and their redacted protocol and trinitarian view of scripture. As time went on, knowledge concerning scripture decreased – not increased – and the modern American knows little of the Deuterocanon, the books Martin Luther labeled the Apocrypha.

Those without knowledge claim that these books are “merely historical” and are “heretical” and not for general reading. But given the political nature of their conclusion concerning this Apocrypha, the student now must ask themselves anew: To read or not to read? 

In this time and at this hour, the United States must reconcile itself not only before the one who blessed our creation and who sustained us as a people and a nation, but before our brothers and sisters throughout the world. We have greatly troubled the world since we became the king of the mountain. It has not been enough for us to enjoy our success in Pax Americana - instead we became an exporter of transgression, waywardness, evil wickedness, perversion, rebellion, and sin. And we have imposed ourselves in the most violent ways upon the people of other nations; ruthlessly bombing cities and villages, destroying the lands and the countries, disrupting their societies and their abilities to provide for themselves - even robbing their resource wealth.

What was the purpose of all of this? Was this done in the name of freedom? Mostly, it was done in the name of democracy. But the United States is not a democracy - it is a republic of which some portion functions within the bounds of democracy. Yet we raised this evil god among others, simply asserting they had no right to object (as did Aristotle) to the principals of democracy.

Yet at home, we were everything but a democracy. Instead we were a kleptocracy (stealing the wealth of other nations like Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq), a corporate autocracy (where corporations rule all of the actions of the central government); a corrupted oligarchy (where the decisions of our judges are based only on partisan principals), and a wicked and vile tyranny run by unelected back room swamp monsters who live and thrive on unbridled perversion.

Repentance is called for - as a nation we must repent and seek forgiveness. But it also behooves us to pray for our enemies and our friends alike. As we seek out the teachings of scripture, is their a model prayer we can follow? Let's take a look.
