!! STEPHEN E. JONES, INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST !!

Here is a reproduction of page 154 where Jones lied about the song, “The Solid Rock” in his book The Babylonian Connection, distributed by Sheldon Emry of America’s Promise.

Here’s An Explanation Of Stephen E. Jones’ Intellectual Dishonesty:

When I read this over, the words seemed familiar — they just kept going through my mind. I kept asking myself, Where have I heard them before? Well, I kept going over and over them and then some familiar music began to come to me. It took me about 10 minutes to begin to recognize the melody that went with the words, but I couldn’t think of the name of the song. I proceeded to go and find some old hymn books and started to see if I could find the song that matched the words. I probably spent the better part of an hour doing this, and after I found my song books, I was probably at least another hour in just hunting the song. I didn’t seem to have much luck in the indexes of the hymnals, so I just leafed through the pages one at a time. While I was searching, the words that seemed to come to me were: “I dare not trust the sweetest (something), but (something something) Jesus’ name.” Finally I found it; the name of the song was “The Solid Rock.” and in some song books it is just “Solid Rock.” But the words “the serpent’s lie, Concerning immortality” were not there! Apparently Jones changed these words in order to prove his flawed thesis.

Not only that, but I found that “Martin Luther” never wrote these words! I have an old hymnal entitled The Evangelical Hymnal, published by “Board Of Publication of the Evangelical Church, Cleveland, Oh. & Harrisburg, Pa., Copyrighted 1921.” For the song “Solid Rock”, page 150, it has “Edward Mote” as the author and “William B. Bradbury” as the composer. From pages XXXIV to XXXVI is found a list of authors. Rev. Edward Mote is listed on page XXXV as the author and flourished from 1797 till 1874. From pages XXXVII to XXXIX are listed composers. William B. Bradbury is listed on page XXXVII as the composer and flourished from 1816 till 1868 and composed 21 melodies including “Solid Rock.” Now Jones is telling an absolute outright bold-faced lie when he says that “Martin Luther” wrote these words, (and Jones changed the words for his own evil purpose to boot). Now if “Martin Luther” wrote these words, then Edward Mote is a plagiarist. In this hymnal the words, “Used by permission of The Biglow & Main Company, Owners”, is stated. This indicates that this company had copyrights against this song and only could be used by their permission. Question: How could “Edward Mote”, “William B. Bradbury” and “The Biglow & Main Company” get a copyright on something “Martin Luther” wrote hundreds of years before? Under copyright law, it would be unethical and illegal for Mote to claim authorship if it were Martin Luther’s work! THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF JONES’ CHARACTER AND PROVES HE IS A DOWNRIGHT LIAR, AND THIS IS THE BOY THE “ONE SEED-LINERS” ARE PARROTING!!! Well, anyway, now you know more about Stephen Jones!!!!!!

Lets take a look, now, at the true words to this line of the stanza of Mote’s poem which was later put to Bradbury’s melody:

“I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.”

(Not) “I dare not trust the serpent’s lie, Concerning immortality.”

Jones was using “subliminal suggestion” in his deceitful tactic to get you to buy his argument. The average person would say in his/her mind, “Oh yes, I know those words, so Jones has a good point here.” “Subliminal suggestion” is a science and is practiced much by the Jews. The question here is: “Who is the Jew behind Jones doing this?” There are several other things about this work of Jones that spells “Jew” like the use of “double-talk.” Have you ever observed the Jews on television or in the movies using it? — they are really good at it! They can actually be saying “no” when they mean “yes”, and be saying “yes” when they mean “no.” Jones employed this tactic throughout this book!

For the record, lets observe what the true words of the song, “The Solid Rock” are:

Stanza #1,

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Stanza #2,

When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil.

Stanza #3,

His oath, His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my Hope and Stay. (By the way, the “whelming flood” is all of these “strange” aliens coming into Israel countries.)

Stanza #4,

When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne.

Refrain,

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.

Notice: Here, again, no words about “the serpent’s lie, Concerning immortality.” They were added by Jones who also lied about the author and thought you would never notice! Actually Jones’ lie is not a single lie, but a group of multifaceted lies! He’s a master deceiver!

If one will check with a good English dictionary, one will find “presupposition” is defined to mean “to take for granted”, or “to suppose or assume beforehand”. The flawed premise that Satan is still presently in heaven is a typical “presupposition” and cannot be substantiated anywhere in Holy Writ! To definitively resolve this issue, it will be necessary to focus on both Yahweh’s domain and where Satan is dwelling at the present time.

With this paper we cover another phase of the intrigues of Ron Wyatt and company. With this issue we will consider that the Exodus from Egypt by the Israelites involved travel by both land and water. In fact, had there not been a nautical route as well as a land route, the whole expedition could not have happened! To demonstrate this, I will quote chapter 2 entitled “The Nile Influence”, from the book On The Track Of The Exodus, by Charles C. Robertson, which I purchased from E. Raymond Capt’s Artisan Sales:

“The rise to power of the foremost kingdoms in early history, those of Egypt and Babylon, resulted from their similar control of a great river highway with its outlet to the sea. This is clearly expressed by F.J. Atkins’ How Europe Grew, as follows:

“‘Water is the great carrier. The river stream floats loads which could never in early days have been moved by land. The paths traced out through hills and mountain ranges by rivers and their tributaries are the easiest paths through these barren regions. With the importance of water thus well in mind we shall turn naturally to great watercourses as the seats and centres of our oldest and most stable civilizations; and of all the rivers of the earth, none springs more readily to our minds than that great river of North Africa, the Nile.’

“Commerce was then, as now, the main factor in national prosperity; and where trade was water-borne commerce flourished exceedingly. But the great river highways served more especially the purposes of national defence. By their means only could large forces be moved with rapidity over the whole extent of the kingdom, to meet attack at any threatened point.

ELI JAMES’ SPURIOUS POSITION ADOPTING THE FAULTY PREMISE

OF A 6th AND 8th DAY CREATION IN HIS THE GREAT IMPERSONATION,

Page 113

(Page 125 in my edition of the book, which I received from Eli - WRF) 

Eli states: ... In general, it must be said that the myth that Adam was the first human does not hold up to archaeological evidence. Nor is it Biblically tenable either. The fact is that Genesis 1 is talking about early man and Gen. 2 is talking about Adamic man. Observe: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ... so God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” Vs. 26 & 27. The early man of Gen. 1, the nomadic wanderers and gatherers, was created on the sixth day.

Adam and Eve, however, were created after the seventh day. Early man did not farm or cultivate the earth in a civilized manner, so He went about creating one who does. Gen. 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

That we are confronted with two types of man is confirmed by the fact that in Hebrew there are two different words for the English word ‘Adam’: #119, adam, pronounced aw-dam and #120, adam, pronounced aw-dawm. The meaning of adam, #119 is "to show blood in the face." This, of course, can only mean the white race of Adamites. No other race shows blood in the face. The meaning of adam, #120 is “a human being” with the connotation of being “mean” or “of low degree.” But this matter of higher and lower degree only applied to Adam (the individual) before he fell. After the fall, Adamic man became as mortal as all other men. So, we have two reasons, two witnesses for saying that awdawm and awdam are not the same. Awdawm was created on the sixth day and Awdam was created after the seventh day.

Consequently, the contention that the human race is only six thousand years old is simplyuntenable. Applying the principle of one of God’s days being equal to a thousand earth years (2 Pet. 3:8) and counting backwards, we have six thousand years of history from the fall of Adam who was of awdam, plus at least one thousand years of “rest”, plus another one thousand years within which occurred the creation of awdawm (the sixth “day”). And there is no telling how much time delay intervened after the day on which God rested before he eventually created awdam. Genesis 2 does not state how much time elapsed after He rested. ... End of Eli’s excerpt.

Clifton A. Emahiser’s critique: The above hypothisis is corrupt beyond description, and does not accord with the original language of the Bible.

Eli’s The Great Impersonation, Pages 53-57

The Good Figs and the Bad Figs, Version #2

The exclusively Messianic interpretation of the parable holds that, although it may be true that the daughters of Zedekiah went to Western Europe with Jeremiah, it is not correct to identify their descendants with the House of David. As a matter of fact, Scripture clearly identifies Zedekiah and his descendants as the “bad figs”!

Returning to Jeremiah, Chapter 24, we read the parable of the good and bad figs: “The Lord shewed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah ... One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad ... Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up ... for they shall return to me with their whole heart” , Vs. 1-7.

Restating this prophecy, the good figs are to go captive to Babylon for their own good – to learn a lesson of humility, perhaps? They are to return again to Judea, and when they do, they will have been reformed and belong once again to God. That is, they will return to His statutes and be His people again. This return from Babylon is a spiritual and moral return as well, and these good figs are to be the progenitors of the Messiah via the descendants of the family of David.

“And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt: And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in a11 the places whither I shall drive them”, Vs. 8, 9.

Zedekiah and his descendants are clearly identified as being the evil figs. Zedekiah’s daughters did indeed migrate to Spain and Ireland; and Jeremiah unwittingly assisted the advance of the evil figs into the rulership of the Lost Tribes by accompanying them there. This was in spite of his own prophecy against Zedekiah which he renewed in Chapter 27, verses 12 to 22 where he again identifies Zedekiah with the evil figs who would not submit to the captivity “for their good.”

L. E. Jandebeur, in an unpublished manuscript entitled “Who Is Your King?”, states: "The British Throne Theory teaches that the daughters of king Zedekiah went with Jeremiah to Egypt, then to Spain and then to Ireland where it married back into another branch of the tribe of Judah. This may a11 be true, but was Zedekiah the rightful heir to the Throne of David and did Yahweh bless this?”, p. 1.

I Chronicles 3:15-19 give us the lineage of Josiah, father of four sons: Johanan, Jehoiakim, Zedekiah, and Shallum. As is told in both Jeremiah (Chapters 20 - 52) and Josephus (Antiquities, Book X, Chapters 6 through 9), Jehoiakim became the heir to the Throne, although his brothers retained the throne for periods of time.

Scripture tells us no more about Johanan. Shallum reigned for a while but died in captivity (Jer. 22:11, 12.). Jehoiakim also became king (22:18) and had two sons, Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin) and Zedekiah (not to be confused with Jehoiakim’s brother, Zedekiah (I Chron. 3:16). Jeconiah is childless (Jer. 22:30) and his brother, Zedekiah, is not heard about again. Zedekiah, Jehoiakim’s brother and Jeconiah’s uncle, is the father of Scota and Tea Tephi.

Jehoiakim is the older brother of Zedekiah and, therefore, the rightful heir to the Throne. This makes Jehoiakim’s children the rightful heirs after him; and, indeed, Jeconiah (Jehoiachin) reigned after Jehoiakim’s death (II Chron. 36:8).

So far, so good. But Jeremiah, 22:30 says this regarding Jeconiah: “Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.” This sentence, taken literally, seems to contradict I Chronicles 3:17, which says: “And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel ...” Furthermore, Matthew 1:11 and 12 state: “And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel ...”

There is only one possible conclusion: “Write this man childless” is a figure of speech. It is a lamentation over the conclusion of the active reign of the Davidic monarchs in the land of Judah. At the same time, David’s Throne remains in its perpetual reign, but, as far as we can tell, only through the bad fig seed line of zedekiah!

Jeconiah’s uncle, Zedekiah, was put in Jeconiah’s place by Nebuchadnezzar (II Kings 24:17) ; and his sons were eventually killed by Nebuchadnezzar (Jer. 39:6); and Zedekiah himself died in Babylon.

In quoting Jeremiah 43:7 in support of their theory, the British Throne theorists ignore the second half of the quotation: “So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord ...”! Jandebeur’s question is well asked: Did God bless this seed? Apparently not.

But how are we to interpret this fact in the light of European history? The apparent interpretation is that, although the European thrones are of David, Israel is not thereby blessed. What this means is that Zedekiah’s descendants cannot be considered a blessing to Christian Israel. Rather, they ultimately became the ‘reproach and a proverb’ as the progenitors of the arrogant and even anti-Christian aristocracy of Europe. Their perpetual feuding amongst themselves, as well as their cooperation with Jewish bankers, did not do Israel any good. Even though the two Branches of Judah were reunited as prophesied by Ezekiel, this reunion was not a blessing. There is even considerable evidence that the bad figs intermarried with Jewish banking families and thus mixed their seed with non-Israelites; and this would have disastrous consequences for the world by providing the Jewish bankers with positions of influence and power.

The prophecy of the three overturns (Ezek. 21:27) also has its problems. Jandebeur says: “The word overturn, does not mean move the throne from one place to another, as the teachers of the British Throne Theory say, but Strong’s Concordance translates it as ‘overthrow’. Moffatt’s Translation uses the word ‘ruin’”, p. 5.

Again, the second half of the sentence has been disregarded by the Overturn theorists. Let us translate Ezekiel 21:27 using the word ‘overthrow’ and let us also pay closer attention to what the verse says after the third “overturn”: “I will overthrow, overthrow, overthrow, it: and it shall be no more until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.”

It is hard to quibble about the meaning of the words “and it shall be no more”. Jandebeur argues correctly that the reference is to Jesus Christ, the King of Israel. Certainly, the Kingdom of Judah had ceased to exist with the Babylonian captivity. But the royal lineage did not cease to exist; and that was carried on through Jeconiah, Salathiel, Zerubabbel, etc. The two Branches of Judah were indeed reunited but not with the true heirs to the throne. The true heirs returned to Judea where the prohibitions against intermarriage were steadfastly observed down to the time of Christ.

The prophecy that “David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel” (Jer. 33:17) can be looked on in three ways: First, as Jandebeur argues, it refers to the perpetual reign of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Second, even had the family lineage of Jesus died out, the inheritance would revert back to the “evil fig” lineage of Zedekiah. The coming of Christ did indeed infuse Europe with a new spirit. It became known as Christianity; and with this redeeming spirit, Zedekiah’s lineage might be granted a new moral mandate in addition to its technical inheritance. Third, it may refer to actual heirs of the various tribes of Israel, for the passage says “house of Israel,” meaning all Israel. If we take it this way, then the door is left open for us to search the history books and genealogical tables of Israelite families who claim lineal descent from the Holy Family or relatives of Jesus.

Interestingly enough, there are people alive today who claim to be descendants of the Holy Family, for if certain passages of Scripture are interpreted literally, then Joseph and Mary may have had children – in the usual way! – after Mary bore Jesus; and Jesus’ younger brother would have become the rightful heir to the throne. There are very few books which treat of this subject (descendants of the Holy Family. One is Holy Blood, Holy Grail. The authors are self-proclaimed agnostics who even doubt that Jesus died on the cross, but the book is certainly worth reading for the documentation it contains ... .

Further discussion of this topic will have to be carried on within the Christian Identity Movement. Whether or not the present Queen of England is a literal descendant of King David is interesting subject; but two important questions must be addressed by the Overturn theorists: 1.) whether the royal family is of a pure line of descent and 2.) whether it can be shown that this family is not of the “bad figs” of Jeremiah. The answers to these questions will determine the direction of the Christian Identity Movement.

It seems, however, that identification of the “good figs” is a problem which has been solved. As it turns out, Mary, mother of Jesus, had a cousin named Anna, whose father was Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph of Arimathea, Mary’s uncle, was a tin merchant who owned mines in Great Britain. After the crucifixion, Joseph took Anna, Mary, Joseph, husband of Mary, and others to England. Anna's daughter, Penardim, subsequently was married to King Lear of England, so this must be the line of descent of the “good figs” who returned to Judea after the Babylonian captivity, who stayed long enough to give birth to Jesus Christ, and then finally migrated to Britain. I will leave it to other researchers to unravel this mystery further. There may important political ramifications of such research. End of Eli’s ideas on the subject

Clifton A. Emahiser’s rebutal to Lee Jandebeur’s false claim that

Zedekiah was a “bad-fig!:

THE CURSE OF JECONIAH

To understand what the curse of Jeconiah was and is all about, I am going to quote from the Believer’s Bible Commentary by William MacDonald, page 1204: Of interest, too, is the mention of a king named Jeconiah. In Jeremiah 22:30 Yahweh pronounced a curse on this man:

Thus says Yahweh:

“Write this man down as childless,

A man who shall not prosper in his days;

For none of his [male] descendants shall prosper,

Sitting on the throne of David,

And ruling anymore in Judah.”

“If Yahshua had been the real son of Joseph, He would have come under this curse. Yet He had to be the legal son of Joseph in order to inherit the rights of the throne of David. The problem was solved by the miracle of the virgin birth: Yahshua was the legal heir to the throne through Joseph. He was the real Son of David through Mary. The curse on Jeconiah did not fall on Mary or her child since she did not descend from Jeconiah.

For another reference from Jeremiah 22:24-30, concerning Jeconiah’s curse, I will quote from the Believer’s Bible Commentary by William MacDonald, page 1011: “Prophecy against King Jehoiachin ... Coniah (also called Jeconiah and Jehoiachin), the fourth [son of] king [Josiah], would be taken captive by the Babylonians and would die in Babylon. None of his descendants would ever sit on the throne of David. No offspring of Jeconiah succeeded him to the throne. His replacement, Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, was his uncle. Charles H. Dyer comments: This prophecy also helps explain the genealogies of Yahshua in Matthew 1 and Luke 3. Matthew presented the legal line of Yahshua through his stepfather, Joseph. However, Joseph’s line came through Shealthel who was a son of Jehoiachin (Jeconiah, Matt. 1:12; cf. 1 Chron. 3:17). Had Yahshua been a physical descendant of Joseph and not virgin-born, He would have been disqualified as Israel’s King. Luke presented the physical line of Yahshua through Mary, who was descended from David through the line of his son Nathan (Luke 3:31). In that way Yahshua was not under the “curse” of Jehoiachin.”

At this point, it is important to notice the curse of Jeconiah didn’t fall on Zedekiah or his daughters who eventually went to Ireland. Being Jeconiah’s uncle, Zedekiah would be a generation older. To amplify on the above two passages, I will quote from The International Bible Commentary by F. F. Bruce, page 1122: “Humanly speaking Yahshua’s claim to the Davidic throne depended on the willingness of Joseph, the legal heir, to accept Him as his son. Hence Matthew gives only Joseph’s version of the story ... Here let us note that apart from the divine activity in conception, Yahshua’s birth was completely normal. He was not conceived until Mary was married; betrothal was legally marriage.”

Returning now to quote again from the Believer’s Bible Commentary by William MacDonald, page 1204: “This (Matthew’s) genealogy traces the legal descent of Yahshua as King of Israel; the genealogy in Luke’s Gospel traces His lineal descent as Son of David. Matthew’s genealogy follows his royal line from David through his son, Solomon, the next king; Luke’s genealogy follows the blood line from David through another son, Nathan. This genealogy concludes with Joseph, of whom Yahshau was the adopted Son, the genealogy in Luke 3 probably traces the ancestry of Mary, of whom Yahshua was the real son. A millennium earlier, Yahweh had made an unconditional agreement with David, promising him a kingdom that would last forever and a perpetually ruling line (Ps. 89:4, 36, 37) ... Yahshua united in His Person the only two basis for claims to the throne of Israel (the legal and the lineal) ...”

So the following questions: Are we also to the believe the mother of Christ, Mary’s husband Joseph was also a “bad-fig”? Are we to believe that Yahweh would even consider a “bad-fig” as a betrothal to Mary? Would Yahweh put His stamp of approval for a faithful angel to appear to a “bad-fig”, as one did to Joseph? Would the Gospels speak of Joseph as a “just man”, had he been a “bad-fig”? Why would Yahweh waste his time reveling to him in a dream that Mary was innocent, had he been a “bad-fig”? Why in the world would Yahweh allow a “bad-jig” to come within ten steps of Mary if he were a “bad-fig”? And last of all, why would Yaherh have allowed Christ to come under the roof of a “bad-fig-jew”? Lee Jandebeur has to be out of his mind!

As we proceed with Ron Wyatt’s cunning story, we are discovering multiple inaccuracies and holes of inordinate dimensions. For instance, Wyatt believed the traditional theory that the Israelites, in their Exodus from Egypt, crossed through the Gulf of Aqaba rather than the Gulf of Suez! Since both of these gulfs were called “The Sea of Reeds”, many have made this same error. Thus Wyatt explored in the wrong place to find Egyptian chariot wheels! The following are some of the postings on the Internet. First at:

http://biblearchaeology.org/post/2008/08/New-Evidence-from-Egypt-on-the-Location-of-the-Exodus-Sea-Crossing-Part-II.aspx where we find (only on this website) by Gary Byers MA:

“4. You say: ‘There is concrete archaeological evidence of a Gulf of Aqaba crossing. There is also evidence of the Israelites camping in Saudi Arabia.’ The opposite is the case. There is not one shred of evidence from archaeology to support the Saudi Arabia thesis. This idea was propagated by Ron Wyatt and more recently by Robert Cornuke. Their theories have been thoroughly discredited. This is an excellent book on the subject of Ron Wyatt ...” We also find more at:

“Red Sea Crossing Update ... December 14, 1998 ... December, 1998 Dive Trip by Bill Fry ... ‘In December of 1998, I along with 8 other people including Ron Wyatt, traveled to Nuweiba, Egypt on the Gulf of Aqaba to spend two days diving at the location where Moses and the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea on dry land.’

If you thought you heard everything there was to hear in the first four brochures on this subject, you ain’t heard nothin’ yet! The clowns who are promoting Ron Wyatt and company must think the rest of us are gullible, incompetent morons! There are so many fallacious postulations provoked by these inciters of twisted conjecture, it is hard to decide on which part of their pretzel factory presuppositions to address next!

Before I get started with this issue, I would like the reader to understand that I am going to address some of Ron Wyatt’s claims that judicially call for cautious investigation, for the narrative we are given by him and his associates, along with his disciples, simply does not correlate with other established facts. So what you are about to read is highly suspect, and you will see why as we go along!

I will start this paper by citing some remarks made by Jonathan Gray during an Internet Radio interview conducted by Eli James on June 13, 2010. About 40 minutes into the interview, the discussion turns to the Egyptian chariots used while pursuing the Israelites through the Sea of Reeds. Here is part of the exchange between Eli James and Jonathan Gray:

James: “Now isn’t there something – couple – unique features of these chariot wheels that are almost impossible to fake?” Gray: “Yes”. James: “Well let’s talk about those.” Gray: “Right, Ron actually took up part of a chariot wheel, took it off to Nassif Mohammed Hassan, director of Antiquities department in Cairo. And this man (Hassan) without any hesitation said the 18th [???]. Now, we are talking about the traditional counting methods they use; 18th Dynasty which is the Thutmose Dynasty. Of course, we have the name Moses, who was adopted into that family. This is from the time, as you people would say, was the time of Moses. And that is because Moses was there at that time. How are you so quick to make an assessment? He (Hassan) said, ‘Because that was the only time when the eight-spoke wheel was ever used’; eight spokes.” James: “So most wheels had what?...six?” Gray: “Six and four and eight.” James: “Six and four and eight? But you say only during the time of the Exodus was the eight-spoke wheel used?” Gray: “That is correct.” So the reader will get a better comprehension of this conversation, I will quote this same incident from the website:

http://readatsaintandrews.blogspot.com/ (now defunct as of 2024-04-10 - WRF):

DANGER, DANGER, DANGER – beware of the venom of Ron Wyatt! Lies are like a cobra’s venom, and a cobra can rise up to strike one in the face! Ron Wyatt died August 4, 1999, but wittingly or unwittingly there are others carrying on his evil agenda! BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE, the doctrine of Ron Wyatt is the antithesis (opposition) of TWO SEEDLINE TRUTH! After Wyatt’s death, Jonathan Gray took up his phony cause, and today Eli James (who claims to be a Two Seedliner) is close on Gray’s heels!

Eli James, on Internet Radio interviewed Jonathan Gray May 31, 2009 where Gray stated the following: “The beginning of the story there was a prophecy of the coming Messiah, in fact right there in the book of Genesis, Genesis 3:15. Right from the very start the promise of the coming Messiah was made. ... So once again, as an archaeologist, I’m concerned more and more in my own work ... that you can depend upon the Bible. In fact, there is not one theological discovery that has ever been made that has disproved any Bible statement.” Again, James interviewed Gray June 13, 2010, where Gray further stated: “The virgin birth actually proves that Jesus was what He claimed to be, whereas the opponents say that this is a scandal, and Christianity is a fraud ... and I think there are Jewish commentators from the past who say even Genesis 3:15 foretells of a virgin birth ... seed of the woman and not of the man.” “... not of the man”? Oh really?

If you haven’t as yet read part #’s 1 and 2 on this subject, you need to get copies, as this is becoming quite a detective story. A supposed archaeologist by the name of Ron Wyatt claims to have found the Ark of the Covenant with Christ’s blood upon the Mercy Seat of it. But like all less-than-honest manipulators, he fails miserably to keep his story straight. This is especially true when one is attempting to run a pretzel factory with Yahweh’s Word! Wyatt’s contrived story is that while he was going about doing all of this, four angels came to his aid.

Much of this was discussed on an Internet program Talkshoe hosted by Eli James, who has turned out to be quite an avid proponent of Wyatt’s story. On the May 31st, 2009 program, Eli interviewed a man by the name of Jonathan Gray, who claims he joined Wyatt in his endeavor. One of the listeners by the name of Skip Baker made the following comment:

“I just wanted to mention, in the other video tape, if I recall correctly, Ron claimed he videotaped the Ark and had got good pictures of it finally. He goes back to his hotel and got to thinking ‘Well what should I do with this?’ Then he said, of all things, he would go back and ask the four angels that he had met in the cave. So he goes back and asks them, ‘What should I do with this video tape?’ They said, ‘We’ll take it, because God wants it to come out when the mark of the beast happens.’ And he said he gave it to them, and they took it with them, although they didn’t demand it when he came and asked ‘what shall I do with this?’ They said, ‘We’ll take it.’ That was a little tidbit I picked up by watching the movie part.” I have absolutely no question that Baker told the truth about Wyatt here, as I have other witnesses to Wyatt’s absurd “angel story”.

Of all the scam-artists who have ever existed on planet Earth, Ron Wyatt takes first prize over them all! His story of finding the Ark of the Covenant in a cave in or near Jerusalem, along with Christ’s blood on the Mercy Seat, surely places all other dreamed-up scams before his, since the foundation of the world, in an inferior second place! And then he gave his bogus report that, “Each cell contained only 24 chromosomes compared to the normal count of 46 that you and I have”. When Wyatt made the bogus claim that “Christ received 23 chromosomes from Mary, and one ‘y’ chromosome from His heavenly Father to designate a male child”, he outdid his first lie!

As I demonstrated in part #1 of this series, the Mercy Seat is the lid of the Ark of the Covenant and is affiliated with the day of Atonement, not the day of Passover. The important days for assembly in Israel were Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. Every one of these days would be fulfilled in the administration of the ministry of Christ. As I demonstrated in my brochure The Day The Word Became Flesh, Christ was born on the Day of Trumpets. On the preparation day of Passover, Christ (the Lamb) was crucified in accordance with the first Passover in Egypt when the lambs were slain and the blood applied to the door posts of each Israelite home. Whereas, the Day of Atonement was celebrated on the 10th day of the seventh month when two goats were selected; one to be killed for a sacrifice, and the other to be let go free with the sins of Israel laid upon it, as being a scapegoat. The last major assembly was the gathering for Tabernacles. Ron Wyatt’s blunder is that he is attempting to have Christ crucified on the Day of Atonement rather than at Passover!

Many negative comments have been leveled against the so-called archaeologist Ron Wyatt, and he is very deserving of most, if not all of them! What I am about to contribute will not add anything positive to his image. I will state right up front that he should have studied his Bible before he claimed he had found Christ’s blood upon the “Mercy Seat”! Today the Internet is replete with websites discussing all of his exploits, both pro and con.

According to Wyatt’s dreamed-up story, he made the astonishing claim that he’d found the socket-hole into which the cross of Christ was anchored. Ron’s story further alleged that beneath that hole he found a crack which led him to a cave, whereupon he made the unsubstantiated assertion that he had found the Ark of the Covenant. But to make his figment even more fantastic, he fallaciously claimed he had found Christ’s blood on the Mercy Seat. I would beg the reader’s patience until I have established some sound Biblical facts, at which time I will reveal Wyatt’s deceptions. So everyone will know precisely the significance of the Mercy Seat, I will quote from the Tyndale Bible Dictionary by Elwell & Comfort, pages 883-884:

“MERCY SEAT Gold slab placed on top of the ark of the covenant with cherubim attached to it on either end, termed the ‘mercy seat’ in many English versions of the Bible (cf. Ex. 25:17-22). The Hebrew word for which ‘mercy seat’ is the translation is technically best rendered as ‘propitiatory,’ a term denoting the removal of wrath by the offering of a gift. The significance of this designation is found in the ceremony performed on the Day of Atonement, held once a year, when blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat to make atonement for the sins of the people of Israel (Lev. 16). Because of the importance of this covering on the ark and the ceremony associated with it, the Holy of Holies in which the ark was housed in the temple is termed the ‘room for the mercy seat’ in 1 Chronicles 28:11 (RSV). The term ‘mercy seat’ came into English use from Luther’s German rendering of the Hebrew term, which is difficult to translate appropriately from the Hebrew (cf. NIV ‘atonement cover’ and NLT ‘Ark’s cover’).
