Judaism

The sacred books of Judaism consist of the Bible, Talmud and Midrash

1.Bible

It contains stories of relationship with God. It is divided into three parts with a total of 24 books:

1.1. The Torah (which means “a teaching”)

It consist of 5 books of the Pentateuch given directly by God to Moses on Mt. Sinai; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy.

They contain the principles of faith, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and laws of holiness. It is both the biography of Moses and the history of the beginning of the Jewish nation.

The Torah became established as Jewish law about the 5th Century B.C.

1.2. The Prophets

These are recordings of what God said to his prophets in 8 books, the first being a combination of 12 books: Combi(Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkum, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zachariah, Malachi), Joshua, Judges, Samuel(2 sections), Kings(2 sections), Jeramiah, Ezakiel & Isaiah.

1.3. The Writings

Consist of 11 books written by prophets with the the guidance of HaShem (God) : Psalms(David’s Zabur) Proverbs, Jobs, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Daniel, Nehenuach & Chronicles

2.Talmud

It is a rabbinic works of a collection of 6 books containing information on traditions given by Moses verbally and not yet written during Christ’s time. Christ condemned the teachings of the earlier Jerusalem/Palestine Talmud. The Babylonian Talmud is widely used now. They are basically Books of Law and address the issue sof applying rules of the Torah to different circumstances.

It deals with agriculture, seasons, women, damages, holy things such as sacrifice, and purites i.e. ritual purities.

Notes:
With increasing suppressions by the Romans in Judea and fear of loss of oral traditions, both the writing of the Jerusalem/Palestine and Babylonian Talmud perhaps were started at the same time. However, due to the prevailing situation in Judea and when Constantine endorsed Christianity, it got worst, the Jerusalem/Palestine Talmud was hastily put together and was redacted in 350 B.C.much earlier than the Babylonian Talmud. It is difficult to understand and also it’s focus is more on the land of Israel.

The Babylonian Talmud had the benefit of more Jewish scholars and time. It was completed only in 550 A.D. When the Jews return to Jerusalem, the Babylonian Talmud became more popular and widely studied. However, it referred to Jesus’s teachings as heretical.

3.Midrash

It is a rabbical compilation of verse by verse interpretation of the scriptures consisting of biblical folklore (Midrash Haggadah) and ethical teaching (Midrash Halakah) and reflect the faith of the difficult times Jews have encountered.

THE 10 LOST TRIBES OF BANI ISRAEL

The Kingdom of Israel was once divided into two. The Northern Kingdom was for the House of Israel (10 tribes) while the Southern Kingdom was for the House of Judah (2 tribes -Judah and Benjamin). The tribe of Levi was not given any land. They were given the priesthood and allowed to live where ever they wanted. The tribe of Dan did not go to war against Canaan with the rest went. They settle north of the Northern Kingdom as pagans.

The lost tribes were the House of Israel. It is said that it was the House of Israel that was brought to Babylonia during the First Diaspora. They were not lost....they just changed name. Experts in the study of names and history could trace them scattered throughout Europe especially in Scandinavia, Holland, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, British Isles, North Afrika as well as India.

Bani Israel, Jews & Ashkenazi Jews

Initially, Bani Israel consisted of 14 tribes of the descendents of children of Jacob (Yaakup AS). Later on, Joseph (Yusuf AS) was excluded while his children Ephraim dan Manasseh became 1/2 tribe hence leaving only 12 tribes. They led a semitic life in the dessert areas between Sinai, present Jordan and the mountains of Syria before they infiltrated into Canaan and Palestine 3 times.

It is said that King Solomon fell away from God towards the later part of his life and after his death, his son reverted to idol worship and lost half the kingdom as the result of the rebellion of the 10 tribes . The kingdom split into the northern Kingdom of Israel and the smaller southern Kingdom of Judah.  It is said that all the kings of the Kingdom of Israel were cruel and many of them met with violent death. The Kingdom was finally destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and the tribes were scattered.

Meanwhile, Judah tribe,  the largest of them all, together with half of Benjamin who still preserved their religion became known as Jews (Yahudi). the  They had a better record than the northern kingdom. Their kings of the line of David served God until a marriage with a member of the court of the northern kingdom broke David's line. All the kings henceforth were wicked and the kingdom was later swept off by the Babylonians in 566 BCE. Thousands of other Bani Israel were absorbed when they were brought to Babylonia during the First Diaspora. The diaspora lasted two generations.

It is said for the sake of survival they developed a unique type of social organization with only minor adaptation when necessary - they maintained their religion, separateness and communal brotherhood. After being released by King Cyrus, only a few returned to Jerusalem. Previously when they were in Jerusalem, most of them had been farmers. While in Babylon where land was waterlogged, they had learned to live as merchants.

Another report says that in fact, only the professionals, the wealthy and craftsmen were deported to Babylonia to begin life in exile. Ordinary people were allowed to stay back. Another group settled in Egypt.

Whatever the case may be, most of them had choosen to remain in Babylon after they were set free. Some went to other countries and henceforth the Second Diaspora.

The descendants of Jacoh's twin brother Esau-Edom were later called Edomite. While they were Hebrew , they were never Jews. Later they went into Spain and Portugal and settled there until they were evicted in 1492. These people were called Sephardic Jews. Israel later accepted them.

Noah's great-gfrandson, Ashkenaz, lived in Babylon. His descendants were later called Ashkenazi Jew. They were not Semitic nor Hebrew nor Bani Israel.

Then there were the Khazars who were a Turkic people who originated in Central Asia. The early Turkic tribes were quite diverse, although it is believed that reddish hair was predominant among them prior to the Mongol conquests. In the beginning, the Khazars believed in Tengri shamanism, spoke a Turkic language, and were nomadic. In the 7th century, they founded the independent Khaganate of Khazaria and later under King Bulan, adopted Judaism as the official religion. They called themselves Ashkenazi Jews. In the 10th century, the Russians broke their power and the Khazars disappeared westwards into Hungary, Romania and Poland mixing with other Jewish communities.

Today Ashkenazi Jews constitute 90% of today's Jews and almost 1/2 of them are in the US. Most of the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh are now in England and the US.

New World Order - How Did It Begin?

I reckon "New World Order"(NWO) has become well known after the Gulf War. Even some of our politicians have been using the term "Oder Baru Dunia" but did anyone explain what it means??

The term was first used by Hitler many years ago. Then in 1940 the Duke of Winsor then Governor of Bahamas, said "..whatever happens.....a NWO is going to come into the world..." In 1968 it was used by Nelson Rockerfeller when he talked about working towards the creation of the NWO. These are a few of the early users of this term.

The question is ....so what, wouldn't a one world government ruled by a king with supernatural powers descended from a divine race (of the order of the illuminated) make this world one happy family?

Illuminati - How It Began .....

To my knowledge, the term "Illuminati" has been used by various groups such as the "Illuminated Ones" in the 11th century. A 15th century German "Illuminati" group claimed to have received illumination from Satan, believed to be the angel from heaven, Lucifer, said to be the bearer of light

There was another group in Afghanistan during the 16th century in search of illumination from the Supreme Being and in need of a class of perfect human beings. Upon attaining the 4th degree level, members would become the "Enlighten One" and would receive mystical abilities. When they attained the 8th degree level, they were told to have become perfect. All this was to foster influence among the elite for peace on Earth. At the same time they were warring the Mongols who were the power in India. This group existed until the 17th century. After that other groups or brotherhood began to mushroom.

I guess when Adam Weishaupt studied the writings on the brotherhoods and their practices, he had already adopted their doctrines and practices in his own brotherhood to stand up against religious suppression and also to change their religion to a religion "of reason".

Why World Domination?

I guess we need to revisit time in history which ultimately brings me back to what was found by the Templars in the Temple of Herod. Thus far I managed to put together the following facts:

1. It has been told the true descendants of Yehoshua have been maintained through the royal Merovingian bloodline which was later absorbed into the Europe's royalty. Tales about the mysterious Holy Grail are said to be really related to this bloodline originating from Mary Magdelina said to be Yehoshua's wife.

2. In 1948, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in Qumran. They consist of writings on copper sheets amongst which are about the history of Yehoshua, quite unlike the official version we have become used to. In those days, the settlers of Qumran were the Essanes. They had escaped the Jewish Revolution in Jerusalem which had destroyed the city and it's temples. The Essenes were the original followers of Yehoshua, Nasoreans. The writings on the scrolls tell about the hidden treasures and other writings below the Temple of Herod.

It is believed that the Templars had obtained the original Christian document. As such, their practices were different from those of the official Catholuic and this did not meet the pleasure of the Church.

3. It is also said that a copy of "The Secret Destiny of America" and the "Book of Thoth" found in the ancient temple ruins of Egypt hidden and buried under a church built in 1715 together it's decoder, maps, instructions, gold and inventions ahead of time. It is believed these stuff were acquired by the Illuminati when they infiltrated into FM Lodges.

Why then the "Book of Troth" from Egypt? It is believed that the civilization of Egypt was initiated by the people of Sumer. Troth is believed to be the other name of Enoch , the Prophet Idris PUH. He had moved to Egypt. This book tells of the origin of the generation of giants, most of whom lived in the times before The Flood. Thay taught men various knowledge such as astrology,astronomy, medicine etc. They were called the Fallen Angels. In Sitchin's writings they were also known as Annunaki. I am also reminded of the narrative by my ustazregarding Haroot and Maroot who had been given Allah's permission to descend to Earth to teach magic/"sihir" to test the faith of men. Satan had used this opportunity to divide the human race and then put the blame on Solomon whom he purported to have used "sihir" too

Anyway, the Illuminati had acquired certain "knowledge" which was usually referred to as secrets often wrapped up in mysticism.

Hurricane RITA

I have no experience with hurricane conditions but the following email I received from a friend, a former classmate, living in Lafayette, Louisiana , USA helped me with some vivid insight as to what one could be ..............!

"Hi All,

We survived. Even though we were not in it's direct path, we were on the eastern sector of the hurricane, the "bad side", here winds are always the strongest.

Our winds picked up to 30-40 mph with gusts of 50 -70 mph around 3pm Friday and then the rains started. Rita was to have hit Texas but it ended up in southwest Louisiana, less than 100 miles west of Lafayette. It was really too late for us to leave, even if we had wanted to. We rode out Lily three years ago but that was a smaller hurricane even if it passed barely 20 miles west of us and it moved fast. Rita took its time.

By 8pm, things were whirling around. Felix went to bed at 10pm. I stayed up watching the tornadic cells popping up ever so often. By midnight, we were getting winds of 50-70mph with gusts close to 100mph. The roof sounded like it would take off and you could hear things hitting around. We lost TV signals around that time but never lost power. All around Lafayette, the radio stations were announcing power outage, downed trees etc. We were lucky we never lost power. The strong winds carried on for about 6 hours and when day broke, we looked out and there were tree limbs everywhere. We did not board up (a few houses in the subdivision did) because it was not supposed to be this strong, But Rita waggled more northwesterly when she made landfall and stalled!!!

Anyway, it is now 10.30am our time - rain is still very heavy and winds are around 20mph with gusts of 40-50 mph. We are expecting this type of weather for the next couple of days until Rita decided where she wants to go. She is still stalling in northwest Louisianan like an unwelcomed guest."

We are thankful that we here are free from such natural disaster.

The Beginning of The Masonic Movement

Modern masonic movement is believed to have been largely based on what the Knights Templars found in the ruins of the "Temple of Solomon". It is believed that they have brought it back and used it until the present day. What was it that they found that had caused the Catholic Church to outlaw them?

Pergerakan mason modern dipercayai ada banyak berdasarkan apa yang dijumpai knights templars di bekas'Temple of Solomon'. Dipercayai, mereka telah membawanya pulang dan menggunanya sehingga kehari ini. Apakah dia yang dijumpai itu sehingga pergerakkan itu telah diharamkan oleh pehak Gereja Katolik?

According to one story, Balkis, Queen of Sheba, had fallen in love with Hiram Abiff, the architect of the Temple of Solomon. This displeased Solomon.At that time Hiram Abiff was building the Temple. Three expert masons had asked for a promotion which was eventually rejected by Hiram. On day, Hiram was killed and buried. The three masons were accused of the murder and were subsequently punished.

Mengikut ceritanya, Queen of Sheba, Balkis, telah jatuh cinta dengan Hiram Abiff, arkitek Temple Solomon. Sudah tentu ini tidak di senangi Solomon. Juga semasa Hiram Abiff membina Temple itu ada 3 orang mason atau tukang batu yang bijak telah meminta dinaikkan pangkat. Permintaan ini telah ditolak oleh Hiram. Suatu hari, Hiram telah di bunuh dan ditanam dan tukang batu yang bertiga itu telah dituduh membunuh Hiram dan dihukum.

Another version says that the masons had asked Hiram Abiff of the "secret" of the temple building. The secret is said to be known only to Solomon, King Hiram of Tyre and Hiram Abiff himself who was also from Tyre. Hiram Abiff refused to impart the secret to the masons and for that he was killed.

Satu lagi cerita mengatakan tukang-tukang itu telah meminta "rahsia" pembenaan temple itu dari Hiram Abiff. Rahsia ini hanya diketahui oleh Solomon, Raja Hiram dari Tyre dan Hiram Abiff sendiri yang berasal dari Tyre. Oleh kerana Hiram Abiff tidak memberikan "rahsia" itu ia telah dibunuh oleh tukang-tukang itu.

With reference to my notations, the history of "brotherhood" began during the Sumerian era. It is related in the cunieform etchings discovered in Iraq and they have been translated by experts.

Mengikut catatan saya, sejarah pakatan setiakawan sebenarnya berputik dari zaman Sumer lagi. Cerita ini ada tertulis dalam tulisan cunieform atas batu-bata yang telah banyak dijumpai di Iraq dan diterjemahkan oleh pakar-pakar.

Brotherhood to the Sumerians are the "keepers of secret things". It is told that the Knights Templars found scrolls in 1118 below the Temple of Herod......Whatever they were, they have made one Knight Templar, Prince Henry Sinclair from Scotland to send an armada consisting of 13 ships to sail until they reach Nova Scotia in 1399, almost 100 years before the birth of Christopher Colombus.

Erti setiakawan "brotherhood" kepada orang-orang zaman Sumer dahulu adalah penyimpan rahsia. Mengikut ceritanya Knights Templers ada menemui "scrolls" pada 1118 di bawah Temple Herod pula, entahlah.....Walauapapun bendanya, ia telah menyebabkan seorang Knight Templar, Prince Henry Sinclair dari Scotland menggerakkan satu armada yg mengandungi 13 kapal berlayar hingga keNova Scotia pada 1399 hampir 100 tahun sebelum Christopher Colombus dilahirkan.

So, what the Knights Templars found must have been very important information - secret things??

Jadi, apa yang ditemui oleh Knights Templars itu pastinya informasi yang amat penting - perkara rahsia??


Haa! It was said, when Knights Templars were excommunicated in Europe by the Catholic Pope in 1398, many of them escaped to Scotland. Henry Sinclair, with his group set sail in search of a place/land which was marked as a star on a scroll. This star was named "la Merica". While in Jerusalem, he had also heard of land in the west.So do you ever wonder why that land is now called America??

Haa! Mengikut satu cerita ni, apabila Knights Templars diharamkan di Eropah oleh Pope Katholik pada 1398, ramai knights lari ke Scotland. Henry Sinclair dengan kumpulan berlayar mencari suatu tempat /tanah darat yang di tanda dengan bintang di atas "scroll". Bintang itu bernama "la Merica". Juga semasa di Jerusalem beliau ada mendengar cerita tentang negeri di barat. Adakah terfikir mengapa tanah itu sekarang dikenali sebagai Amerika??

athere are several versions on what was found in Jerusalem. In short, the Knights Templars were "Free men". They were not bound by the limits of Catholic philosophy
of the day. If you know how Roman Catholicism started, this story would be more meaningful and you would also understand why Freemason movement is highly secretive

Memang ada beberapa cerita tentang apa yang dijumpai di Jerusalem itu. Dipendekkan cerita, Knights Templars adalah "Free men" tidak terikat kepada garisan2 falsafah katholik pada zaman itu. Kalau kekawan faham bagaimana Roman Katolik bermula maka cerita ini akan menjadi lebih bermakna. Juga boleh difaham juga kenapa Freemason bergerak secara rahsia.
