Greetings Brethren:
Hope and pray you are doing well.
I had planned on covering Daniel 11:39 as a single sermon, but towards the beginning of giving it last Sabbath, realized it needed to be two-parts.
So, here is a link to the first part: Daniel 11:39: Conquering of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, part I.
My plan is to record part II this coming Sabbath.
Feast of Tabernacles 2025
Remember to be preparing for the Feast of Tabernacles.
Church services for the Feast of Tabernacles in 2025 are to begin at sunset on October 6th and run through (including the Last Great Day) sunset October 14th in 2025.
The site for North America is to be in Oklahoma City as we have a signed agreement to have the Embassy Suites by Hilton Oklahoma City Downtown Medical Center in Oklahoma. Here is its location and mailing address: 741 North Phillips Avenue Oklahoma City, OK 73104. That is where services are expected to be held in North America–note: you do NOT need to stay at that hotel in order to attend services there.
The room rate for that Embassy Suites is $120 per night (plus taxes) and includes breakfast and parking.
If you expect to come to Oklahoma City and have not told me, please email me. My email address remains: COGwriter@aol.com
Do not delay in at least preparing to schedule yourself for attending, wherever that may be.
Here is a list of planned and tentative festival sites around the world for 2025, check out: Feast of Tabernacles’ Sites for 2025.
Lost Tribes
Recently someone sent me the following from 1918, when a Jewish rabbi put out the following letter:
Now the above is basically correct.
Despite that, there are many who falsely assert that the Jews in Israel are the wrong race and that they are not from the three tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. Yet, their false assertions can be easily disproved.
Some have tried to claim that the Jews were black, hence Jesus was black. Because of that claim, I also located some photos of 1st century A.D. coins–the century Jesus was executed in. After General Titus conquered Jerusalem in 70 A.D., Emperor Vespasian issued coins–the back side of which shows conquered Jews:
General Titus on left, Jewish man on bottom right (CNG coins)
Emperor Vespasian on left, captured Jewish soldiers on right, 71 A.D. (CNG coins)
Notice that the coins clearly show that the Jews were not black Africans. The two captured men have traditionally Caucasoid, not Negroid, hair. The inscription on the second coin is in Latin as Iudea Capta which translated into English as “Judaea Taken.” These coins are clear evidence that the Jews of the first century–like Jesus–were not black Africans. The Jews were Caucasians. If most Jews of Jesus’ time were black, the coins would have been expected to portray that–but they do not. These are absolute historical proof, no matter what color people may think the ancient Egyptians were or what their DNA was. More information on that can be found in the article: Were the Ancient Tribes of Israel Black? Was Jesus Black?
In the letter, you will note that the Chief Rabbi also mentioned his view that the other ten tribes were absorbed into other nations. While that is basically correct, the fact is that they ended up dominating and forming various nations.
For details on that, check out our free online book: Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?
Contrary to naysayers and various others, there is evidence which backs up Church of God positions on the descendants of the tribes of Israel. Numerous prophecies related to them have been fulfilled and numerous others will be fulfilled.
