DEAD MEN'S BONES
Part V
The last installment of Dead Men's Bones outlined how leading Christian institutions have absorbed the idea that ancient Gentile cultures believed in a divine council of "gods" ("elohim" in the Hebrew) that directed the affairs of men. Incredibly, this belief has now been integrated into the "Christian" worldview of many Bible scholars, and has even impacted new editions of the Holy Bible – notably the ESV, and the NRSV. This school of thought is based on what seems to be irrefutable data indicating certain Babylonian records are considerably older than the oldest manuscripts of the Old Testament. However, as Dead Men's Bones has shown (and thinking individuals can testify), things are not always as they appear to be.
Common sense dictates that just because we've yet to discover the tablets of the Ten Commandments which Moses brought down from Mount Sinai (after his encounter with God) does not make the story fiction. Further, because the ancient records found in excavated Nineveh (the capital of the Assyrian Empire) mention a variation of the great flood story (as well as a supposed boat builder named Utnapishtim), does not prove the Genesis story of Noah was derived from those records. What it does mean is we do not presently possess any antiquarian tablets containing the original accounts in Genesis.
For that matter, because we don't have a manuscript with the Apostle Paul's signature on it does not mean he never wrote a letter to the Corinthian Christians. In fact, it's actually quite suspicious that certain Occult documents (such as the supposed book of Enoch, The Apocalypse of Adam, or the so called Book of the Giants) managed to survive the tumult of history stashed inside clay pottery in some long forgotten remote cave; whereas the far more important Old Testament records are no longer with us.
Thus, with generation after generation continuing to faithfully copy crucially important documents, what survives the ravages of time is usually not the original media (whether it's a stone tablet, or a very old writing on some foreign papyrus). Indeed, some 1,500 years after Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John's time, William Shakespeare was writing some marvelous dramatic stories, but no-one managed to keep a single copy of any of them in the famous playwright's own handwriting.
Even more contemporary modes of media, such as certain theatrically released motion pictures, are now completely lost, with no known copies. My own father, who was an actor with many credits, starred in a Christian film called The Fred Jordan story, which premiered at Madison Square Garden. Even though no known print of the film exists, it does not change the fact that Mr. Jordan established an important ministry to the lost in Los Angeles in the 1940's. In other words, many are unaware of the success of Fred Jordan's ministry because the film record of his achievement is lost, even as the lamb's book of life never ages, nor does it ever suffer political suppression.
As we have learned the hard way here on earth, ancient writing is not only subject to environmental degradation, it can be manipulated in a malevolent fashion.
As Dead Man's Bones has already established, Christian scholars have incorporated ancient Mesopotamian records dedicated to the Babylonian/Assyrian pantheon (which includes the "gods" El, Enki, Ea, Tiamat, Adad, Shamash, Marduk, Baal, and others) into their belief structure. Chapter IV of the present work showed how a so called divine council of 70 angelic beings, described in Canaanite documents praising Baal, included the Fallen Ones of Genesis 6, the notorious Nephilim:
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4).
Over the course of studying the heathen writings, the Christian scholars have come to believe the Genesis account concerning the Nephilim was derived from the Baal "scriptures" as a Hebrew refutation of the demonic Canaanite/Mesopotamian beliefs. This position is untenable as the Genesis record is the original, and the heathen version excavated at Ras Shamra is the imitator – the faulty dating notwithstanding. Unfortunately, these doctrines of devils (including the idea of a "council" of gods) are now being disseminated to literate Christians via populist media.
The last chapter of Dead Men's Bones demonstrated how the Christian scholars, heeding the input of the Babylonian "scriptures" from the Old Testament era city of Ugarit (found at a contemporary site in Syria known as Ras Shamra), are now teaching that Deuteronomy 32:8 tells us the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob gave dominion over the Gentile nations to this "divine council."
"When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples, according to the number of the sons of God" (Deuteronomy 32:8, incorporating a reading from the Dead Sea Scrolls).
The reader will remember the phrase "the sons of God" applies to the Fallen Angels who bred with the daughters of men in the Nephilim episode in Genesis 6. However, discounting the deceptive documents of devils excavated in the 1930's (as well as subsequently corrupted translations of the Bible), the Biblical text actually reads:
"When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel" (Deuteronomy 32:8).
The modern prophets of Baal, who integrate the Baalist variation of this verse in Deuteronomy into their worldview, have been blinded to the corresponding Scriptures in the very same chapter of Deuteronomy, which destroy their faulty theory of a "divine council" consisting of the Fallen "sons of God," who are supposedly led by Yahweh. For example, in the very next verse used by the false prophets claiming God gave the Gentiles over to the Nephilim, Deuteronomy speaks of God calling Jacob to his mediatorial role:
"For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance" (Deuteronomy 32:9).
Two verses later, as God describes His nurturing care for Jacob (who becomes the Patriarch of the chosen people), the LORD specifically precludes involvement with any of the so called "gods," or any "divine council."
"So the LORD alone did lead [Jacob], and there was no strange god with him" (Deuteronomy 32:12).
In fact, in the very same chapter, we learn the Fallen Ones were present and deceiving the nations, as the LORD lamented how quickly Jacob and his descendants turned away from Him to follow devils:
"They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not" (Deuteronomy 32:16, 17).
In that same context, God refers to His chosen people, the descendants of Jacob, as "his sons" – a statement which clearly precludes any supposed collective consisting of the deposed "sons of God," as in the corrupted reading of Deuteronomy 32:8.
"And when the LORD saw [the abomination] he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters" (Deuteronomy 32:19).
Thus, at this stage of the same chapter in Deuteronomy, Jacob (who becomes Israel) and his descendants are referred to as "his sons," because the LORD has chosen Jacob to be the progenitor of His people. Although it should go without saying, the Fallen Ones, who crossed the line to marry human women and pose as gods, can no longer be referenced as the "sons of God," in accord with multiple prophetic texts, as well as allegorical patterns.
"God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment" (II Peter 2:4).
A good example of Sonship with God is anticipated in the story of Abraham, Sarah, and the slave girl Hagar, who bears Abraham a son because of Sarah's advanced age. Bringing about the miraculous, God promises Sarah will yet have a son, and he will be the heir of God's promises. When Abraham's son Isaac was born, Abraham's wife Sarah insisted Abraham's previous son Ishmael would not be a joint-heir with Isaac:
"And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac" (Genesis 21:9, 10).
Thus, it is grossly inconsistent to suggest the Fallen Angels, referred to as "sons of God" in Genesis 6, would continue as sons – mingling their inheritance with the Old Covenant children of God known as Israel – when the Nephilim were bound in supernatural chains because of their blasphemous behavior. Furthermore, the pattern never reverts to an earlier stage, as seen in the case of Esau, who was Isaac's first born, as Esau permanently forfeited his inheritance in exchange for physical comfort.
"Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled…as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected" (Hebrew 12:15, 16).
In a concise, point blank statement back in that pivotal chapter of Deuteronomy, which the modern prophets of Baal have grossly twisted in their effort to integrate the false doctrine of a "divine council," God declares He stands alone, and there is no council, or collective consisting of other gods, which He allegedly leads.
"See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand" (Deuteronomy 32:39).
Finally, the very idea of the Gentiles being abandoned by God to the devils in the so called "divine council" is thoroughly refuted in the same chapter, for the LORD issues a promise to the nations that justice will prevail and He will be merciful to the land.
"Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people" (Deuteronomy 32:43).
Most Bible readers know the Hebrew word rendered nations in English, is the same Hebrew word rendered as Gentiles in many, many verses. Since the LORD tells us He has appointed Israel to mediate His salvation to the nations under the Old Covenant, it would be completely illogical for Him to tell the Gentiles to "rejoice" if He had just given them over to the Devil.
"And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name [Christian], which the mouth of the Lord shall name" (Isaiah 62:2).
The promises to the "nations" (read the Gentiles) are fulfilled through the sons of God, the office given to Israel when the LORD chose Jacob to mediate God's light to the Gentiles, under the Old Covenant.
"Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her…And I will set a sign among them [the cross], and I will send those…to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles" (Isaiah 66:10, 19; Malachi 1:11).
Prophetic metaphor, seen in the plague of darkness in Egypt, tells the story of how the Gentiles were in spiritual darkness, while Israel was inhabited by the light of God as His mediator to the nations.
"And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings" (Exodus 10:22, 23).
When the physical family of Israel ultimately turned away from God, and embraced Baal and the devils masquerading as gods, the light of God shining through Israel to the Gentiles was extinguished. This followed the same pattern wherein the original "sons of God" – seen in the New Testament as "the angels which sinned" (II Peter 2:4) – were replaced by Israel as the sons of God under the Old Covenant between God and man.
"When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt" (Hosea 11:1).
After centuries of seeing Israel backslide and repetitiously turning to Baal (the lord of the lost Gentiles), God was compelled to intervene in order to keep His promise to redeem the Gentiles. Again, this followed the earlier pattern where God replaced His "sons" (the Nephilim) with Israel, so His chosen could fulfill their function as the mediator of His righteousness to the Gentiles.
Thus, God chose to make a New Covenant with mankind and the house of Israel, as JESUS CHRIST stepped into world history. The "only begotten Son of God" (John 3:16) told all who would receive Him that since the light of God in Israel was extinguished among the nations, He is now come from heaven to shine the Light of the LORD to the nations.
"The people that walked in darkness [read the Gentiles] have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined" (Isaiah 9:2).
"Then spake JESUS again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" (John 8:12). -- James Lloyd To Be Continued

Christian Media also has a regularly issued companion letter commenting on the material seen in DEAD MEN'S BONES Part V, as well as other current topics related to Bible Prophecy. The latest edition of that letter (labeled Christian Median: Ministry Status Report) which goes to everyone who has requested our materials, has even more prophetic information concerning issues of importance to our generation. Further, Christian Media has an eye-opening online on-demand video elaborating on the crucial facts seen in this article — which also includes predictions concerning the immediate future – in particular, the possibility of the return of the Nephilim. However, the enemy has already sown tares in this vineyard, and we choose not to provide the website links here, as those who think they're doing God service are tirelessly trying to excise the truth from the Internet.
Viewing of the online video on this subject is completely free, and we greatly desire as many as possible will see it (a new video will replace it in another week), but to examine this subject further, we ask for a green light from you to send you the link. Further, because there are many vested interests which are threatened by the facts the Christian Media ministry provides, regular efforts are made to penetrate our ranks – including hacker attacks. Incredibly, we've already proven that "Christian" parties have actually hired hackers to take down our websites. Thus, we desire to weed out those who are insincere about further examinations of the truth of the Gospel, so we send the links to our Internet materials via surface mail.
As we move through the wilderness of this world, even our Internet domains are being suppressed by the dark powers, so we urge all those who hear the voice of the LORD in these Communiques to seek the LORD while He may yet be found. As those who have inherited the light of God through Christ's marvelous work,
"[We] must work the works of him that sent [us], while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work" (John 9:4).
